Chapter 328 Satisfy him
After Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng were full, they said hello and left first.
Ye Yaodong looked at the sharp reduction of squid on the beach in front of him, and he didn't plan to go down to compete with those seabirds any more. He still had enough time to go out and drag a net back.
In the afternoon, after lifting the net, he returned to the buoy where the branches were placed. Before the fishing boat approached, the father and son saw groups of squid gathering under the sea surface, so they stopped to fish without getting too close.
Go down the net, it’s full~
The number of squids today is obviously more than yesterday. When the net is collected, the number of squids under the water has decreased a little, but they gathered again after a while.
Then they threw another net, and saw that the number of underwater people had decreased a lot, so they drove a little further.
The whole afternoon, they moved around, and the two took turns. They only stopped and rested three times in the middle, but each net harvested more or less.
It wasn't until sunset that the father and son were tired. They leaned against the side of the boat and wiped their black sweat.
Ye Yaodong twisted his sore arm, throwing the net with this hand was throwing the net too often, which was strenuous. Fortunately, there were two people in rotation, and they only worked for half a day.
"The sun goes down, go back?"
Father Ye saw another squid swimming over not far away, and felt a little bit reluctant, "Will you throw two more nets? I see a lot of squid swimming over."
"I can't catch them all. I've been tired all day since I came out at night. It's almost done. I caught a lot today, weighing hundreds of catties. When I come again at night, I can catch many days anyway."
Sleeping for so few hours every day, drifting at sea for so long, and working hard all the time, who can stand it?
When it’s time to take a proper rest, you have to rest, otherwise what should you do if you have a life to earn money but not a life to spend?
Father Ye was still reluctant, "There will be fewer squids in the evening, so let's go back after casting two more nets."
Hey, the older generation is really used to it!
Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "Okay, one person casts another net, and this wave of squid should be able to catch almost as well."
"Um."
Finally, they cast two more nets before they returned. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Ye Yaodong drove the boat to speed up and go back.
After the fishing boat docked, it was already dark. It was really a star-ridden comer and a star-ridden return. Fortunately, the harvest was good, otherwise Ye Yaodong would really cry.
Fishing boats are full of bamboo baskets, which are stacked up to take up space. Most of them are squid, and only two baskets are not full of fish.
Today, a lot of squid eggs were harvested, weighing three to four catties, and Ye Yaodong only took them out by accidentally netting the twigs.
When carrying the goods off the ship, they also met two couples, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, who were weighing the goods. They both looked beaming. Seeing the bamboo baskets full of squids around them, they also knew that they had a good harvest.
"Father, A Dong, you are too busy to come back now."
"I can't bear to come back. It's all money. If you can, cast two more nets." Ye Yaodong said wearily.
"We think so too, that's why we've been busy until now."
They talked and walked to the boat, planning to help carry it down together.
Father Ye asked concerned: "How much load did you take today?"
"We haven't finished yet. There are fourteen full baskets of squid. We also dragged two nets. There are also a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs." Ye Yaopeng grinned and said happily.
They are not afraid of hard work, as long as there is reward.
"There are almost 7 loads, which is better than ours. We have twelve baskets, and the harvest is very good."
"Yes, there are 4 of us, two of us picked up, and two of us went to trawling. Tomorrow, everyone will put branches to trap, and I don't know if the number will decrease."
Father Ye said as he walked: "No way, it's not too late to catch them in two days before the peak flood season. It's not too far behind."
"That's good, I didn't go to sea a few times in the first half of the year, so I'm counting on this wave..."
Although the squid dropped by two cents today, the whole family sold a little more today than yesterday.
After the bumper harvest, they walked back happily, looking forward to continuing to go to sea tomorrow.
But the weather was not beautiful, it cleared up one day, and it rained heavily at night, Ye Yaodong heard the sound of the rain ticking in his sleep, after waking up for a while, he continued to sleep peacefully, and didn't have to get up to go out to sea at night.
The fishermen in the village who had just finished tying the ovum branches, after hearing the sound of rain at night, continued to sleep in the cage helplessly, and scolded their mothers there when they woke up the next morning.
They were all ready to do a big job, but something unexpected happened.
Everyone can only wait, hoping that this rain will pass quickly. The fishing season does not wait for anyone, it will pass as soon as it passes.
The three Ye Yaodong brothers also stood at the door and kept watching, feeling extremely regretful.
"It's raining at the wrong time."
"No way, it's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Fortunately, we did it two days longer than others."
"I don't know when to stop. It's a gloomy day. It doesn't look so fast."
Fortunately, the sun was shining yesterday, and the peeled fish was dried after drying overnight for a whole day. Otherwise, the weather would stink, so they usually dry fish in autumn and winter.
"It's either raining or windy and choppy all year round. There are more than 300 days, and there are only a hundred days in total. The harvest is not certain, alas..."
"No way, life is much better now than it was in the past few years, and everyone can save some money in their hands. You see, in the past few years, every family was busy for a whole year, and only three or four hundred yuan was distributed. They still owe the brigade food in the end."
"I heard that other places are more miserable, but our seaside is better, and we won't die of hunger."
Second Aunt Ye also came out and said regretfully, "I've only been there for a day or two, and it's raining again. I didn't make less money this day. I'm really **** off."
Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Just take it as a rest. People can't stand the continuous rotation every day."
"It's just tiring for a while, what's the point of being tired if you have money to earn? You can go to sea every day..."
He pursed his mouth, and it took him a day to say such words.
Wake up at 2 o'clock every night, do physical work at sea until you come back at five or six in the evening, only sleep five or six hours a day, and can't eat well, try it?
"The rain won't stop for a while, so I can go back to sleep."
He was about to stretch, but when he raised his hand, he heard the cry of a baby coming from the room, so he hurried in with a smile on his face.
Woke up early in the morning and saw that the mother and daughter were still sleeping, sleeping sideways in exactly the same position, so cute, and he didn't dare to disturb them, and finally woke up now.
As soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw Lin Xiuqing breastfeeding.
"Why are you eating again?"
"Otherwise? She is only so old, isn't she just waking up and eating, eating and sleeping?"
"Wake up and play for a while, I haven't hugged her for almost two days, she has been sleeping."
"She woke up to play, but you weren't home."
At this time, Ye Xiaoxi was also holding her rations, while opening her big wet eyes, looking left and right curiously, her mouth was still moving.
"Wake up, wake up, stop eating, get up and play..."
Mother and daughter ignored him.
Ye Yaodong looked at the pile of red envelopes next to the pillow, and said, "When did you send so many red envelopes? Don't do it for your daughter's full moon. After all, you are overborn, and you don't want to accept any favors. Just return them."
"Yesterday, they were delivered one by one. I wanted to discuss with you last night. Seeing that you came back too late and tired yesterday, I let them go for a while."
"Well, then don't do it."
"I think so too. Anyway, it's a loss to run wine. This is the third one. There is no need to do it again. I will ask my mother to send it back when the rain stops."
Ye Yaodong nodded.
After seeing the child spit out her rations and stopped eating, he hugged her happily, "Huh~ Feeling heavy again?"
"What nonsense, I've been treated as my father three times. I can't say such things and I don't know."
"Oh right, right, can't say can't say..."
He immediately shut up and concentrated on teasing the child and talking to her, rarely seeing her awake and awake.
Lin Xiuqing leaned against the head of the bed with a smile all over her face, looking at the father and daughter with tender eyes. His loving and gentle expression was so rare.
Usually, she would roll her eyes at her two sons, squint at them, or raise her eyebrows. How could she have such a gentle and silly appearance now? It is not in vain that she took the risk to give birth.
It’s great to have both sons and daughters.
The house was full of joy and harmony, but outside it started to rain continuously for three days. Ye Yaodong also happily held the child for three days at home.
When we got up early on the fourth day, everyone found that the rain had stopped. It was cloudy for three days, and suddenly the clouds cleared and the sky was washed by the heavy rain. The sky was very bright and clear, and the sky was glowing red. The village also moved and became lively.
Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the clearing, and went to the mountain with his father to cut more branches. It happened to be free today, so he put in more branches at night.
The whole family was sitting at the door to work in the afternoon, and saw Lin’s father and Lin’s mother pushing a cart over. Both Ye’s father and Ye’s mother smiled and put down their work to meet them, but Lin Guangyuan’s shoulders slumped.
"Oh, why did you come so soon?"
Ye Yaodong poked him with a branch, "Didn't play enough?"
"No, it's only been a few days, and it's been raining for several days now."
"Then stay a few more days."
"They must have come to pick me up, and they definitely won't be able to stay."
"Then come play again next time."
Lin Guangyuan sighed, "Will you take me out to sea next time?"
"Do you really want to go that much?"
"Of course."
"Then you can ask your grandparents and ask them to stay for a night or two. By the way, I will also take them to pick squid."
It’s safe to put them on a small island to pick up squid. Just in time, I asked them to pick up more squids and bring them back. It would be a waste for seabirds to eat.
If you have nothing to pick up, you can go to the stone wall to pry and dig.
Lin Guangyuan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard it, "Really?"
"Um."
