Chapter 234 The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law
Ye Yaodong also saw his surprised expression.
"What's wrong?"
"I seem to see pearls?"
Lin Xianghui picked up the big mussel that he had just dropped on the ground with its shell cracked, and opened it to see that there were really two round pearls inside.
Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes, "Hey? Freshwater pearls! Big brother is so lucky."
Lin Xianghui looked at it in disbelief. The people in Hebeng's village have been catching pearls since they were young. Some people accidentally opened pearls a few years ago, but very few, not necessarily one in a few years.
He didn't expect that he just saw a slit, instinctively reacted, and dug out casually along this hole, and there were two pearls in the big river clam he pulled out?
"Why are you stunned, brother? Pull out the pearl and have a look."
Ye Yaodong is a person who has produced oyster pearls after all, and he is not surprised by the freshwater pearls produced by river mussels, and he is not excited.
Lin Xianghui was reminded by him, and quickly took out the two pearls inside, put them in the palm of his hand, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and grinned almost behind his ears.
Didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise today. These two round pearls should be worth a lot of money. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he hurriedly shouted at Lin Xiangyang who was bent over and fiddled in the grass.
"Xiangyang, come here quickly."
"What's the matter?"
Lin Xiangyang fiddled with the grass with a stick, and slowly moved over, "What are you doing?"
Lin Xianghui stretched out the two shiny pearls in his hand to him, and said with a smile on his face: "Look, I just opened it from a river clam."
"Damn it, Pearl?" Lin Xiangyang's unconcerned face instantly widened again.
"Yeah, I saw A Dong touching snails and clams here, so I walked over to have a look. I saw that he touched a few clams, so I tried to touch them too. I didn't expect to find one all at once. The big one, I accidentally crushed the shell."
The more Lin Xianghui talked, the happier he was. If he hadn't crushed it, he might not be able to find it. He could only find out after cooking it or taking it back to pick the meat.
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Ye Yaodong had grabbed several of them by the side, and was about to remind him, but he was already breaking the shell.
Ye Yaodong opened the shells of the mussels he had just caught and looked at them. There was not a single hair inside, only white flesh.
Lin Xianghui asked with concern: "Is there none?"
He shrugged: "No."
It's normal not to have one, and he didn't have high expectations. My brother-in-law got lucky today!
"Pity…"
"It's nothing to be sorry about, these are not pearl oysters, and it's very rare to open one occasionally. Brother, why don't you touch a few more while you're lucky today?"
The smile on Lin Xianghui's face deepened, "You guys also try to grab a few more. Anyway, it's still early, and the customer for the oranges hasn't come yet, so I'm still free."
As he spoke, he carefully put the two pearls into his breast pocket, and patted them carefully twice.
Lin Xiangyang started to touch the silt on the edge of the river with great interest. They all looked at the gaps, and then began to dig out, one by one, slowly digging along a river...
Ye Yaodong didn’t plan to dig out after digging a few things without getting anything, so let the two uncles dig out slowly, they are familiar with the things in the river.
He shook his wet hands and walked towards the children who were having a great time playing, wanting to see what they had gained? Hit them again by the way, be honest.
"Wild ducks, how many have you caught?"
"Caught 6!"
"Little uncle, we have caught 6 of them. These wild ducks are so stupid. They flew away and came back again."
"It's pretty stupid. If you catch a few more, you can open them up and eat them at night."
"Uh-huh."
These wild ducks are not very vigilant, and they are quite easy to catch. It's a pity that he doesn't have a fishing net in his hand, otherwise he can save a lot of trouble and catch a group of them at once.
At this time, some curious children were also squatting on the bank. Originally, they also wanted to come down to join in the fun, but they were all threatened by the boys from the Lin family, saying that this is their territory, and they are not allowed to come down, or they will be beaten...
After Ye Yaodong told them to be careful, he walked upstream again, startling a bunch of wild ducks flying around. There were many wild ducks in the upstream, and he actually picked up several wild duck eggs in the grass.
Several big fish, small fish and some loaches swam in the clear water from time to time, which made his hands a little itchy, but my uncle only had one shrimp cage, which he put down long ago.
Without any tools, he could only stare blankly. He wondered if he would come over again, maybe he could put his hand on the throwing net? I don't know if I will be scolded...
After wandering around the river, his clothes were already opened to hold duck eggs, and there were exactly ten duck eggs, and he was about to go back happily.
Hearing the exclamation of the children in front of him, he was so frightened that he immediately hugged the wild duck egg in his arms and ran forward.
The elder uncle and the second uncle also heard the exclamation, and ran over immediately in fright.
"What's wrong, who did what?"
"My cousin slipped and sat in the water..."
"That's right, look, it's bigger than a washbasin..."
The children on the river bank who didn’t leave also shouted excitedly, saying that they had never seen such a big turtle…
At this time, Ye Chenghu was already stood up by their older brothers and sisters, who made him the youngest in the group.
Half of his legs were wet, and he was still gesticulating excitedly and said: "Look, I didn't lie to you, what we saw yesterday is this big bastard, isn't it super big, bigger than a washbasin..."
Ye Yaodong got closer and only glanced at the big **** in the river, then quickly put down the duck egg in his arms, went up to check the eldest son, luckily only the knees were wet.
"Is there anything else that fell? Is the only leg wet?"
"I didn't fall, but I suddenly saw Dawang Ba slipped excitedly when he climbed up, and his legs stretched out into the water." Ye Chenghu flinched when he said it, a little afraid that he would be beaten again.
Who knew that his father just stared at him, didn't hit him, didn't scold him, just frowned.
"Come back with me later to take a shower and change clothes."
No hitting or scolding him, he was instantly happy again.
The two brothers-in-law ran over and saw the big **** suddenly climbing up the river, and they were also surprised.
"It's really bigger than a washbasin. I've always heard that there is a cockroach in this river. It's rare to see it climb up to bask in the sun today."
"The weather is cold, and the tortoises also like to come out to bask in the sun."
"With such courage, I am not afraid of being caught."
"Who dares to arrest this? They are all masters, whoever is arrested will suffer retribution..."
The two were surprised for a moment before remembering to ask Ye Chenghu how it was.
"It's okay, just seeing such a big turtle surfaced, I was so excited, slipped a bit, and stuck my feet into the water. It's okay, I'll take him back first."
Ye Yaodong told his brother-in-law to remember to pick up the snails, clams, and mussels in the grass, and he just picked up ten wild duck eggs, so he took the eldest son back first.
The lower body is wet and sticking to the body. Although winter has just entered and the temperature here is more than ten degrees, the child has poor resistance and is easy to catch a cold. He has to take it back to take a bath first.
Lin Xianghui nodded, then frowned and scolded Lin Guangyuan: "I told you to look after your younger brothers and sisters, but you didn't take good care of them, and even let your cousin fall, so collect everything for me, and you are not allowed to play when you go home." gone."
Lin Guangyuan said unconvinced: "I looked at them, but he was too excited and careless, what can I do. What's more, you are all running around playing around when you are adults, you have the nerve to blame me."
"I even talked back, tell you, it's your fault if you didn't take a good look at it, go back and beat me up."
"Huh~"
Lin Guangyuan was not afraid of his father, but he also knew that his little cousin was a guest, so his father had to pretend to scold them no matter what.
It seems that there is no way to continue playing today, so he has to greet other brothers and sisters, put away all the things, and put all the wild ducks he caught into the bamboo basket.
Everyone is a little bit unsatisfied, and feels that they haven't finished their work yet, and they are going home.
Lin Guangyuan also has the demeanor of being a big brother, "Today's catch is almost enough, enough to eat, let's come back in two days on the weekend."
Anyway, they already know the method. If there is good weather, there will be wild ducks flying in, and they can continue to catch them in the same way.
Ye Chenghu knew that because of his carelessness, everyone who got involved would have nothing to play with. He lowered his head, not daring to make a sound, and obediently followed his father to the house.
Along the way, Ye Yaodong didn't say anything about him. It's normal for a child to fall, so there's nothing to scold. He often walks by the river, so how could he not get his shoes wet?
Not all of them fell into the river, so that's fine.
After going back, the child was not scolded, but he was.
"Why are you so careless?" Lin Xiuqing took off Ye Chenghu's pants, then frowned and stared at Ye Yaodong, "Why didn't you pay attention to him? You even let him fall into the water?"
"I don't know, he was so excited to see Da Wangba himself."
"Then you didn't keep a close eye on him. You didn't go to other places when you went to the river. I told you when you went out. You didn't know what you were doing. Every day..."
Mother Lin quickly helped and said: "This kid is running and jumping, how can you really watch him? Don't talk to A Dong like this, and you have a temper, this tone! How can you blame him?"
Lin Xiuqing looked at his mother in disbelief, what does it mean that she has a temper? What's her tone?
"He didn't take good care of the child, so I can't do without a few words? Why did you tell me to have a temper? Mom, what are you talking about?"
"How can you blame him? You should stop nagging, don't scold the little one all day long, scold the big one, the kid is just careless, wash your son quickly, put on your pants, don't catch a cold."
"How can I finish scolding the young ones and scolding the big ones, mother, what about yourself?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but slander her, she was clearly her own mother, but in the end she sided with her man and said she was nagging!
"I said you still talked back, quickly wipe your son, put on your pants..."
Ye Yaodong was immediately happy.
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and she became more and more satisfied the more she watched!
There will be an update tomorrow, maybe a chapter 6-7-8, depending on how much I can write
