Just about ten days after confinement, Lin's father and Lin's mother also brought the small clothes prepared in advance, chicken, eggs, longevity noodles, red dates and longan and other foods for pregnant women to visit.
It wasn’t the first time, and they didn’t rush so fast. They came after finishing their homework and getting things ready.
Mother Lin hugged the baby with a smile, "Fortunately, you are the third one, and the birth will be fast and safe. I thought Adong would send you back after the year."
"He's thinking about the beginning of spring, and we're going to start picking tea again in our house. It's too busy, so don't bother you, and our location is far away, just by the beach, so it's convenient to board the boat if there is any movement, and you can go to the town Or go somewhere for a day or two and come back."
Father Lin also nodded, "Yes, last month we were on the mountain for the whole month. We went up the mountain before dawn at four o'clock in the morning and came back in the evening. No one can take care of you when you go."
"Don't talk about this, just give birth."
"What's your cousin's name? She has so much flesh on her face that it's about to hang down..." The eldest nephew Lin Guangyuan also came to play with her today, and she stretched her neck to watch.
Mother Lin gave him a reproachful look, "You can't say that."
"It's called Ye Xiaoxi." Ye Chenghu yelled from the side.
"Call Xiao Jiu!" Ye Chengyang shouted not to be outdone.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "The fortune teller said that she didn't need anything, so she could choose whatever name she wanted. A Dong said that the names of their children all have water, so they should be called Xiaoxi. There just happened to be a family of three, and she was among them. She is ninth among her cousins, and the younger ones call her Xiao Jiu."
Nine sisters Nine sisters, beautiful sister...
Ye Yaodong heard some mischievous boys calling her Jiumei two days ago, he couldn't help thinking of the melody of this song in his mind, and thought it was pretty good...
Call the nickname casually.
"Then who will take care of you after you give birth? Your mother-in-law doesn't live together anymore."
"She takes care of the washing and cooking here during the day, and only goes back at night when it gets dark. At night, it's Adong who gets up and works."
Mother Lin was surprised, and then couldn't stop the smile in her eyes, "Ah Dong changed the diaper? Hehe, he really is getting better and better. It's hard work for him. He has to get up several times at night."
Father Lin: "Did he not go to sea at night?"
"No, he's going to pull the ground cage every other day during the day, get some fish and shrimps and come back to milk me. I said I can change the diaper by myself, but he insisted."
When Lin Xiuqing talked about this, her face was full of happiness. She didn't expect him to be able to do this.
Although every time she changed her diaper, she hated it to death, but whenever Xiao Jiu cried, he would immediately get up and check if she was peeing or hungry.
When he gave birth to his two sons, he never cared so much.
"It's a good time for you to be born, there are seafood to eat."
Looking at her daughter's white and tender face, Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "Yes, now there is fish soup every day, which is much better than when his two older brothers were born."
Ye Yaodong accompanied them in the room, and went out after listening to them talking for a while.
A group of children meet at the gate to dig clams and crabs on the beach.
He also looked up at the beach and made sure the tide had receded, so he went to the village to call for someone.
His boat has been soaked in the sea for a long time, and a pile of juvenile shellfish and barnacles grew under the boat. When he sailed out to pull the ground cage these days, he felt a serious draft.
In the vast sea, the most indispensable thing is microorganisms and resident animals.
Especially a kind of organism called barnacles, which can attach to natural rocks, pier dams, ship buoys, seawater pipelines, and can also attach to living creatures such as blue whales and sea turtles.
No matter the size of a ship that has been sailing on the sea for a long time, the bottom of the ship will be covered with barnacles, spat, mussels, etc. The longer it is not cleaned, the more and bigger they will grow.
They will increase the draft of the ship, increase the resistance of the ship, and at the same time slow down the speed of the ship, and increase the fuel consumption of the ship. Therefore, every boat needs to be cleaned regularly.
When he came back from collecting the ground cage in the morning, he docked the boat on the beach, and when the tide receded, it would run aground on the beach
It just so happened that his father-in-law and mother-in-law came today, and he scraped the bottom of the boat to get some fresh oysters and mussels for them to take back.
He called a group of young and middle-aged men he knew well, and a few cousins, and took a few bundles of ropes to the beach. They had to turn the boat over first.
A group of young people were excitedly picking up stranded small seafood on the beach, and saw Ye Yaodong bring a group of people over, and they all gathered around.
"Third Uncle, why are you here? Are you going to Taohai too?"
"Third uncle, look, we caught several crabs, and also picked up a lot of snails and clams..."
"I have a fish here..."
"I have sea urchins and starfish..."
A group of children carried their little baskets as if offering treasures, wanting to show him.
Ye Yaodong smiled and comforted, "Okay, okay, go pick it up again, and I'll call you for help later."
"What are you doing, third uncle?"
"We're going to turn the boat over and clean the bottom of the boat, and we'll ask you to help pick it up later."
"Okay, okay~"
Some play, what should they do?
All of them walked towards the ship together behind them, and they didn't run around.
"Stay far away, don't get in the way, go to the side and wait."
After sending the children aside, Ye Yaodong climbed into the boat and **** the ropes. Amidst the excited yelling of the children, the boat was also set up by a group of young adults.
"And barnacles..."
"A lot! Wow~"
As soon as they saw the boat was erected, they couldn't wait to run over excitedly, and were about to dive under the boat on the spot, Ye Yaodong immediately snorted at them.
"Go away. When I didn't say that you can approach, none of you can approach, or you will be crushed into meat later, are you afraid?"
They suddenly scattered again.
After being reborn, he was a little more patient with these children, and he would always think about taking them to play with him no matter what.
After the boat stood firmly on its side, he thanked the group of people, and after they left, he took out a sack from his pocket and shook, then greeted the children excitedly.
"Come, come, let me shovel, and you will help pick it up in the sack later."
"Yeah…"
There are a bunch of shells growing densely under the bottom of the boat, and there are everything, big and small mussels grow in pieces, and there are green ones, but they are not as delicious as black and purple ones.
There are also barnacles that look like small craters, spat with oysters growing in them, and shells that are useless.
There is no red paint under his boat, and the shells he knocked out are all edible.
The bottom of the ship is usually painted with a special red paint. The paint drives or kills any creatures that cling to the bottom of the boat.
In order to prevent these shells and insects from adhering to the bottom of the ship, and to reduce the corrosion of the hull by seawater, paints containing toxic substances, such as copper oxide, mercury oxide and iron oxide, are used to coat the hull below the waterline.
These toxic substances mixed in the paint are all red, so the bottom of the ship is red.
Seafood is adsorbed on this layer of paint, and it is generally inedible after being beaten.
His kind of boat is not painted with this kind of paint.
Ye Yaodong held a big shovel in his hand, aimed at a small piece of densely grown mussels, and scraped vigorously towards the bottom of the boat, and instantly dropped a large bunch of mussels connected together.
The small door on the side rushes up, "I'll come...I'll come..."
"Third uncle, you should shovel more..."
"Okay, you guys back off first, I'll shovel it down a little more, and you pick it up slowly, otherwise it will hit you."
The group of guys are all surrounded by one side, and he is not easy to use. If he shovels it down, he will hit their heads.
"Then hurry up."
"Got it, long-winded..."
These mussels are not big, but the green ones are bigger. They are all called mussels, and they are called mussels in the market. When you shovel them vigorously, another piece falls off.
He shoveled over pieces one by one, and a pile of them fell on the beach. His hands were a little sore, so he stopped and asked the children to pick them up first.
He took out two sacks from his pocket and shook them. There were so many sacks under the boat, how could one be enough?
"Be careful, don't cut your hands, the edges of these shells are very sharp."
"Do not worry…"
"Little uncle, it's really fun here, there are so many things to pick up on the beach..."
"It's fun, right? I've asked you to come and play with us a long time ago. Who told you not to come?"
"They didn't take me, they said they would take a long way..."
"Ah? You come here on foot, why don't you take a tractor, although that tractor is not easy to sit on..."
Ye Chenghu began to talk blah blah blah again, how the tractor was so bumpy... why it was so hard to sit... and said that his nostrils were full of dust...
Hearing Ye Chenghai really wanted to hit him a few times, "You can pull it down, no one else can sit if they want to sit, they can only rely on two legs, I haven't even sat before..."
Ye Yaodong picked it up and said: "If you think it's fun, stay here for a few days, eat and sleep with your two cousins, and let them take you to the beach for a few days."
Those who live by the sea think the mountains are fun, but those who live in the mountains think the sea is fun!
"Okay, okay... Then little uncle, help me... Ah, there are bugs... There are a lot of bugs... Are there earthworms on the beach?"
Ye Yaodong looked up and saw several worms growing on the beach in front of him, wriggling like intestines.
"It's sandworms! Not earthworms, where did earthworms come from on the beach?"
Others also noticed that a lot of dense sandworms suddenly appeared on the beach around them.
"Like an earthworm, it seems."
"so many…"
"There are also..."
"There are also..."
"Ahhh... how disgusting..." Several girls looked at the densely packed sandworms and cried out how disgusting they were.
"Cut, disgusting, haven't you ever played with earthworms? Hurry up, hurry up..." Ye Chenghai shouted excitedly.
The other boys were also very excited. How could they feel disgusted and afraid to catch them? They did catch bugs a lot.
Ye Yaodong also shook the sack excitedly, "Take this!"
Fortunately, he was thoughtful and brought a few extra sacks.
