Ye Yaodong followed behind with a smile, looking at her trotting back, and felt that "a man and a woman can work together without tiring", which makes sense.
Look, I've been busy for a long time, and I feel quite tired just now.
Now flirting with his wife, I feel relaxed all over, I can still walk like flying, and I can even run to catch her.
It's that her head and face are covered too tightly, otherwise her long hair now grows to her chest, if she wears it down and runs on the beach, her hair must be flowing and beautiful.
Looking at it, he fantasized in his mind...
So much so that his daughter-in-law ran too far, and he forgot to call her to stop, and then he also ran too far.
Until Ah Qing turned around in confusion and asked him: "Where is your razor clam? Why didn't you say anything? How long will it take to arrive?"
Ye Yaodong kept trotting closely behind him, and he came back to his senses when he heard her turn her head to ask, "Huh?"
He looked left and right, only to realize that he ran too far, and ran a long way...
They all ran to pick kelp here...
He smiled awkwardly, "Oh, I forgot to run too far."
Pointing to the long bamboo piece standing in the distance behind him, "See, there is a bamboo piece standing there, that's it."
The smile on Lin Xiuqing's face suddenly disappeared, and she stared at him speechlessly, "Are you stupid? I ran too far, and it's fine if you didn't stop me, but you also ran too far with me. What are you thinking? What are you thinking? eat!"
Ye Yaodong touched his nose and felt that the brain cells were too active, which seemed bad, "You can keep it for yourself. I was just distracted and forgot."
Lin Xiuqing looked at a piece of smooth reef about three or four meters ahead, which was yellowish brown in color with no uneven barnacles on the surface, and thought of it.
"Is this where the kelp is picked?"
"Yes, the big ones are basically picked by me, and the smaller ones are the size of a palm. They are too tender and can be kept long."
"It must be more delicious when it's tender, right? It's better served cold."
"Forget it? The small half sack just now is enough to eat for a long time. If you want cold salad, those can be shredded and cold. It's not much different. These small ones will grow up when they come back next year."
Lin Xiuqing also stepped forward curiously and touched the stone wall a few times. It was soft, slippery and cold, and all the large pieces as far as the eye could see were torn off, and only small pieces remained.
"Then let's pick it next year."
"Well, I'll go back to dry it later, anyway, no one wants it." Ye Yaodong took her hand and walked towards the razor clams, saying as he walked.
"It's a pity that it grows in the wild like this. I saw a little sea green in front of me. I wanted to pick it, but I saw nothing to put it in. The sacks had to be filled with shells, and the buckets had to be brought. Load the fish."
"That's not tasty, and it's not easy to dry and store, just take the kelp back whole..."
The couple chatted for a while, and those who don’t know may think that the island is their back garden.
In fact, it’s almost the same. Come here when you want, and go back if you want to find something. They are all naturally raised and grown naturally, and they don’t need to be managed. Don’t dig too much.
Ye Yaodong had the experience of digging razor clams last year, and today he went out to catch the sea with a small handful of salt, which he specially wrapped in a handkerchief and kept in his pocket.
Now he took it out like a magic trick, which surprised Lin Xiuqing.
"Why did you bring salt on purpose? You only came out for a long time, and you still plan to cook something?"
"You don't understand this, do you? This is a great magic weapon for Taohai. I'll show you something later, just wait and see."
Lin Xiuqing squatted beside him and watched him dig the ground with a spatula, and was really curious what he was doing with the salt? Just learn from him to dig a hole together.
"Is this how to dig out the surface layer? Why not dig out one by one?"
"You'll find out later."
"Is it a secret?"
"Go to the side and dig. If there are air holes on the ground, you can scrape off a layer. Let me do a trick for you later."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "There are so many tricks."
As he spoke, he obediently moved to the side and helped him plan together.
"I'll scold you later if you can't do a trick for me."
"Then I made you a success, don't you have to show it?"
"Hmph, let's talk about it after you change."
"Look at it!"
Come out with a woman and play with friends, the experience is of course different, and Ye Yaodong is more excited when he hears that there are rewards.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him, but just sprinkled a little salt into the small hole on the ground, and saw the razor clams rising directly from the sandpit, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah! Is this still possible?"
Ye Yaodong was triumphant, "Do you know how powerful I am? Everything depends on your brain. If you can dig one by one, when will it be?"
"I know you're amazing, you're so smart", Lin Xiuqing grinned happily, her brows and eyes curled into a smile, "Give me some salt, let me try too..."
Ye Yaodong wrapped Yanba's hand in a handkerchief, retracted, "I agreed to do a trick for you, and you will reward me."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully, "I'm an old couple, and I have three children, so what reward do I need?"
"That's different, I sleep with you, and you take the initiative to sleep with me, can it be the same?"
"On the isolated island, you seem to be more energetic."
Ye Yaodong twitched his eyebrows twice with a smirk, "Mmm~mm~"
"Let's talk when we go back, give me the salt first."
"Say it first."
"Cut~ or you will just watch."
"Who was as tired as a dead dog last night? It's only been half a day today, and you feel like you can stand up again."
"Fuck, look down on people, right? I still have two scratches on my back, do you want to show you who was so excited last night?"
"Get out."
Lin Xiuqing slashed at him in shame and indignation, and snatched the salt from his hand.
Ye Yaodong looked at her with a smile, imitating him to sprinkle salt into the pit little by little.
"Women are just duplicity, and they are very stubborn, and they like to turn their faces and deny people at every turn."
"Your mother is also a woman."
"My father can cure her."
"Who would say that about my old lady?" Lin Xiuqing cast a glance at him, then stared at the entrance of the cave, watching the razor clams inside rise up automatically one by one, and cried out happily again.
"A lot, every hole has it."
"This is called a radish and a hole, and a radish is inserted in a hole."
Lin Xiuqing: "..."
"you shut up!"
Even though the sea breeze was blowing like that, she felt her ears were burning hot all the time.
"Don't you think it's boring to be alone, no one can talk, am I talking with you to relieve boredom? Why don't you want to listen to me and tell me to shut up again? Women are so fickle."
"Are you chatting normally?"
"Why is it not a normal chat? I'm not wrong! It's very appropriate."
Ye Yaodong saw her turn his face away after collecting the razor clams, and quickly moved over, looking at her with a smile.
"Although I am old, I am still shy."
What he said made people angry, Lin Xiuqing directly elbowed him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"I'm only 26 years old, don't bother me, go away, I don't want you anymore, I'm in the way, I'm here to work, you go to the stone wall to knock some shells, don't get in the way here."
Ye Yaodong was not annoyed either, he smiled and looked at her with a straight face, "You turned your face so soon?"
Lin Xiuqing shut her mouth and stopped talking to him. She actually said that she was getting old and was so angry.
"Okay, okay, you're only 26 and still a flower."
"Penny Blossom."
Ye Yaodong was choked up by her angry words, and then started laughing wildly.
"Okay, morning glory is morning glory. Where can I go tomorrow to dig a few trees for you to plant in the yard?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing, "Don't be annoyed, I'm so disgusted, you don't help with the work, you're still laughing."
"Just do it, do it right away."
"You don't need to pull it out, I'll put it there, and you go to the side to dig out a layer of sand on the surface."
"Okay, okay, you come and you come."
"Hey? Why is there a different one here?" Lin Xiuqing just finished collecting the raised razor clams and sprinkled salt on the side, only to find that there was a raised razor clam that was a little different.
This feeling can no longer be called razor clams.
The razor clams are thin tubes, the kind that are as long as the barrel of an automatic pen, but the one raised up now is super wide, much wider and thicker than the razor clams raised up before.
Ye Yaodong heard her talking, turned his head and glanced, "This is a big saber clam, also known as the king of razor clams. This is also delicious, not much different from razor clams."
"Oh, and suddenly a different one came in."
"Normal, is the bonito often mixed into the tuna?"
Lin Xiuqing saw that there was nothing wrong with the one that got in, so she collected them all together and put them in the bucket.
The husband and wife are not tired of working together. One scrapes the sand and the other pours the salt.
It wasn't until they cleared up all the razor clams that the two stood up, twisted their necks, and beat their backs.
Ye Yaodong also helped her squeeze her neck and massaged her lower back, "Are you tired?"
"It's okay, just stand up and walk around, anyway, the digging is over."
"Then go dig on the stone wall for a while, and then we'll go home." He looked at his watch, "It's about two o'clock, and the tide is about to rise at this point."
"Uh-huh."
Ye Yaodong picked up the bucket and walked ahead.
Lin Xiuqing smiled, then trotted up, holding his hand with one hand, and the two walked hand in hand.
"I'm tired of crooked, but I still hold hands..."
"Dislike it? Then forget it... let go..."
Ye Yaodong held her hand tightly, and said disgusting words, "Seeing that you like to bend so much, I will reluctantly hold her hand."
It’s been so long since he was reborn, with friends playing around, the company of his children, and the care of his family, don’t say he’s young mentally, he hasn’t grown up yet, even after such a long time, his mentality has already adjusted to his 20s years old.
Lin Xiuqing looked up at him with a smile, "It turns out that men also like to be tough."
"Well, the whole body is only harder than the mouth."
"..."
