Chapter 253 Sinking? (Monthly ticket plus seven)
Ye Huimei looked at his parents who were a little shaken, and laughed, it was his third brother who had a sharp mouth.
Ye Yaodong glanced at her sideways, "I'm telling the truth, okay? Our parents have almost done the important things that should be done, so where is there room to spend a lot of money? We don't spend much money on food and drink, so why bother? Search?"
"Hahaha, so Xiao Qinglong should keep one for each person!"
"Yes!"
Mother Ye had nothing to say at this time, she just gave the siblings a look, "You are the only ones who have a good mouth, you can talk and eat, and you pick out good things. When you get married, let's see if you can still be so rambunctious. "
"I'm really not in charge of the family. I don't know how much food, rice, oil and salt are. When you get married, you have to be careful. You will have two sister-in-laws to marry in the future. Don't be too loose on your fingers every day. You should take care of your own man... "
Ye Huimei was embarrassed when she told his mother happily, and she hasn't married yet? Tell her to take care of men...
"Stop talking, you're not married yet..."
Father Ye has also thought about it. He has saved so much money. In the future, he will leave it to his three sons.
What's more, with so many abalones picked up today, it seems that it is not too much for one person to keep a little blue dragon?
He glanced at the third child. After staying with this prodigal son for a long time, he felt that he was about to become like him.
Father Ye coughed dryly, "Then pick the smaller one and keep one for each person!"
The smile in Ye Yaodong's eyes leaked out, he looked at his father pretending amusedly, and felt that his parents would be spoiled by him.
"Well, one is not expensive at two or three taels. Let's add up to eight people, and keeping eight will only cost more than two catties."
"Anyway, I kept them all. If you keep a few more, your eldest brother and second brother have three children in their family. You can keep three for a few children to have a taste of."
Father Ye is also a person who loves his children dearly. As a grandfather, there are some good things, and the son can not keep them for him, and the grandson will always miss them.
"Okay." Ye Yaodong had no objection, his mother and younger sister got it, and his father decided to handle it himself.
Mother Ye felt a little distressed, and she was about to keep half of it for hoho, but she couldn't just eat it for herself, and her grandchildren didn't have to eat it.
She had no choice but to frown, out of sight.
"Okay, you guys stop for a while and send us to the island first, otherwise we will just stand here and watch, wasting time."
"Father, you can send my mother and the others, and go ashore to rest for a while, it's not good to just keep soaking like this."
He is still young, he can drink some sea snake wine to get rid of the humidity when he returns home.
"Okay, by the way, dump the contents of the bucket into the sack first, and it will be heavy if you carry it all the time."
Ye Yaodong also handed the bucket up to empty it for a while, and then continued to climb up the submerged reef, digging down from the top can save him soaking in the water for a while, the tide has just started to ebb, and the water will still be shallow when the water level is the lowest at twelve o'clock. a little.
These reefs are rugged and slippery, so be careful.
They don’t need to be in a hurry. Safety comes first. Anyway, the piles of abalones are still tightly attached to them, unable to escape.
Father Ye drove the boat to the small island next to him, and after putting down the mother and daughter and the tool sack, he told them to be careful, not to climb up and down, and to put them wherever they couldn't move them, and then move them when they came. , and then drove the boat back to the reef.
At this time, Ye Yaodong had already dug another half of the bucket. Practice makes perfect, and it was really cool to dig out the fist-sized abalones.
"Dongzi, we have to dig these abalones and conchs for a day."
"It shouldn't be so. Although it looks dense, it's because of its big size. It's quick to dig out each one. Look, isn't it a large area? Some places are not very densely crawled. Two people dig, hurry up. .”
"Fortunately, there are no starfish here, otherwise these abalones would have to be bullied again."
"really."
"Hurry up and dig, let's go over to your mother's side to have a look at around 8 o'clock, and take a break to cook something to eat."
While Father Ye was talking, he also climbed onto a hidden reef, and then poured out the water in the rain boots, but he couldn't sit still, and almost slipped down, which shocked Ye Yaodong so much that he shook his body. Almost followed fall.
"Ah, dad, be careful."
"The buttocks are too slippery, I couldn't sit still for a while."
"Take it easy, or go to the side, the reef is flatter, you stand there, I will come to the taller."
Father Ye stretched his head to take a look, and said without force, "Yes."
This piece of reef is neither too big nor too small, with someone as a companion, the father and son talked, and felt that the time passed slowly. The key is that both of them are full of energy, and they are very excited when they think that a large sum of money is about to come into the account. very.
It wasn't until the two of them poured two more buckets each, and checked the time that it was 8 o'clock, did they both climb onto the boat.
Ye Yaodong took off his rain boots, took off his socks and looked at his soaked white and wrinkled feet, and suddenly felt that this money was not so easy to earn, and he had to pay a price if he wanted to get rich.
Otherwise, the seaside people are more or less a little rheumatism when they are old.
Besides, people on the beach love to drink, especially to soak in various seafood medicinal wines, just to get rid of moisture.
He took a rag and wiped his feet. He didn’t intend to put on his shoes anymore, so he let his feet dry first, and then took the boat to the island to have breakfast.
Looking at the empty space, he first put water in the pot to boil. This pot is not that big, and four people need to cook two pots.
After the boat docked at the small island, the water in the pot was almost boiling, and the two reef islands were not far apart.
Father Ye tore a few slices of cabbage and put them down. After opening again, he put down the rice noodles, and then threw in some dried mussels. He stirred it up and was about to cover it, but he heard Ye Yaodong say.
"Dad, dig some abalones down..."
Father Ye's hands trembled when he heard the words, and when he was covering the pot, he didn't cover it for an instant, and fell on the board of the boat.
Ye Yaodong laughed, "The feet are all white from soaking, isn't it too much to eat one?"
It’s no good that his parents are so picky and reluctant to eat and drink, he has to set them right!
Father Ye glared at his prodigal son, then silently went to dig out four abalones that looked smaller, dug out the meat of the abalones, cut off the belly, and simply rinsed them with fresh water without using a knife to cut them a few times Just throw it in and cook together.
"That's right, isn't it just to live a better life, isn't it, Dad?"
"Don't talk about it, it's fine to prodigal yourself, and you have to bring your parents along with you."
"This is called sharing blessings, I must be filial to my mother."
Father Ye is already very powerless to him, but fortunately he is willing to work hard now, and earns a lot. If he makes money, then take some out and eat it.
It's better than playing around all day with nothing to do like before.
"Go and call your mother and sister, get on the boat and eat something first, it has been several hours since the night, the cold wind has been blowing for so long, come up and eat some warm food to warm your body, don't worry about digging."
"okay."
Ye Yaodong didn't bother to get off the boat, he just stood on the boat and yelled at the top of his voice. After a few shouts, their figures were exposed from the edge of the reef, and they went ashore after washing their hands in the sea.
"Finally finished eating, I feel so hungry."
"Rice noodles are not as good as rice cakes to fight hunger. In a few days, I will ask other people to buy some glutinous rice and use the workshop to process rice cakes. Anyway, I will stock up some rice cakes for the New Year and prepare them in advance."
"It's too early to make rice cakes so early, isn't it?"
"Do a little bit first."
"Let's eat first..."
When Father Ye lifted the lid of the pot, Mother Ye looked at the abalone in the pot and didn't say anything. Everyone would grab a bowl first and eat happily.
"Cook another pot and put a few more abalones in."
This abalone is thick, plump and plump, soft and smooth, much better than farmed ones.
"I really know how to eat..."
Mother Ye muttered something, seeing that the sack in the corner was quite full, she still went to dig out four, one for each person.
It can be seen that Ye Yaodong's brainwashing was very successful!
Ye Huimei snickered and blinked at her third brother, Ye Yaodong grinned.
Actually, his parents are not in good health either. A few years ago they couldn’t get enough to eat, and worked hard to earn work points. They were overworked.
Cooked two pots, and the whole family was full. After a short rest, Mother Ye and Ye Huimei went down to the isolated island to continue their work.
Ye Yaodong and Father Ye also sailed to the reef island, ready to continue working. The sack picked up earlier was not very full, only 6 points full. Now that they are full and have strength, they continue to work.
But he didn't know if it was because of his inner thoughts. Even though the tide was ebbing now, he felt that the water level didn't drop at all, but was still a little higher.
He frowned and looked at his father, "Dad, don't you think this reef seems to be... sinking?"
Yes, it is sinking!
He suddenly thought of this word. It wasn't that the tide had not receded, but that the reef was sinking. So even though the tide was receding, the seabed was not exposed more, but the water level was higher.
Father Ye was also surprised, "If you don't tell me, I haven't felt that this reef is indeed sinking."
"Damn, after the crustal movement, is it going to sink again?"
"It is very likely that it may have been sinking. We were too focused on digging before and didn't pay attention."
"Damn it, dig it quickly. It feels like the water level is getting high again? It's clearly ebbing."
"Then hurry up..."
This has all entered Baoshan, and it sank back for no reason. The father and son suddenly realized something was wrong and hurried down with the empty bucket.
Ye Yaodong paid attention to the water level. When he went into the water in the morning, the same position was only up to his knees, but now it is a little above his knees, obviously the tide is ebbing.
"Grass, it's really hot, and it's really going to sink again. It's just a flash in the pan, isn't it? Dig quickly, just as the tide is receding, and we can dig as much as we can if we can slow down the rate of decline."
"Well, hurry up."
