"Father, what are you talking about crock pots, bottles and cans?" Ye Chenghu watched them playing dumbfounded curiously.
After Ye Chenghai and the others explained it to him in a hurry, he patted his thigh and regretted that he just missed it, and didn't know it immediately.
"I want it too, I want it too, I want to play too, I'll go to my mother for bottles and cans..." Ye Chenghu ran back to the house like a gust of wind.
Ye Chengyang half understood and half understood, but his brother ran away, and of course he followed his brother into the house.
Except for fighting, under normal circumstances, they are Jiao Buli Meng, Meng Buli Jiao's good brothers, where is brother going? The younger brother will follow.
It's just that Lin Xiuqing is busy washing rice and starting to make lunch now, so how can she have time to control the two brothers and drive them out again.
They went to look through the sack in the corner of the door by themselves, and there was a sound of swaying, and the bottles and cans in the sack were instantly poured all over the floor.
Most of them are malted milk cans they drink. This can be used to store things. Ah Qing is reluctant to sell it to the junk collectors, so he has been collecting it there, and there are a lot of other canned jars.
Now, not only the two brothers were excited, but the others did not work, and they all gathered around, wanting to beg for it.
Ye Chenghu was not willing to share it, but he refused all of them, "Go back to your own home and find it, this is mine! I don't have enough for myself, so where can I give it to you? You go back and find it yourself."
If they could go back, would they stay here and work hard? I went home early and rummaged through the boxes.
"You can go to your Ma's house to find it, or you can go to your grandma's house to find it, otherwise it won't be enough."
"Makes sense!"
With Ye Yaodong's trick, the group of children became extremely active, but he also lacked people who could help with the work, so he had to continue peeling the bamboo shoots by himself, which was a mistake.
Ye Chenghu used all the jars at home, and coaxed Yangyang to say: Brother is finished, just share and use one piece, don’t do it, just watch it...
Ye Chengyang coaxed him and nodded.
Ye Yaodong didn't point it out either, one of the two brothers was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
Ye Chenghu also found a screw, and instructed Ye Chengyang to pick up a big rock outside the door, which made him feel a little bit involved, and then knocked there all afternoon, knocking a hole in the edge of the jar to make it easier to tie the rope.
A group of children next door were also there all afternoon with their buttocks pouted and knocking.
No way, just got a spanking, buttocks are hurting, they can only pout, but no matter how painful it is, it can't stop their enthusiasm.
"Father, is this how they are strung together?"
"Almost, the string is firm, as long as it doesn't get washed away by the waves."
"That's it!"
Ye Chenghu fiddled with the fruits of his labor excitedly, and dragged them to the next door to show off. Along the way, bottles and jars rubbed against the ground, making clanging sounds.
It was also the right time for them to fiddle. In the afternoon, the tide gradually receded.
A group of children were reluctant to go anywhere, and squatted in a row at the gate of the yard, holding sharpened long sticks in their hands. Of course, they came here to hang around while Father Ye was free, and pestered Father Ye to sharpen them for them.
And there are all kinds of bottles and cans piled up in front of them, and they are connected in series with ropes.
Other friends were also attracted by their strange actions and things, and they all squatted over and asked them curiously.
They kept their mouths tight and didn't say anything, but this couldn't stop the children's curiosity. They all squatted together, ready to see what they wanted to do?
As they waited eagerly, the tide slowly began to recede after two o'clock in the afternoon, and they also moved excitedly.
Ye Yaodong was afraid that they would chase the tide and run into the water, so he followed the tide without worry.
By the way, take a bucket to see if there is something to pick up just after the tide has ebbed. It has been raining for several days, and the water level has risen.
"Can you slow down a bit? The tide hasn't receded to the end, it's still early."
He held the bucket in one hand and the tongs in the other. As soon as he caught a crab running sideways, he raised his head to remind the children who were running forward excitedly.
"knew."
Parents nowadays are just freeing their children. It is also because they are too busy. They have to do a lot of work for their livelihood and have no time to take care of the children. Sister-in-law Ye and second-sister-in-law Yee actually don’t care if the children run to the beach to play, as long as they don’t swim in the water, it’s fine. where do they go.
The same goes for the neighbors on the left and right, as long as it is time to eat and you know you will come back.
It is Ye Yaodong who will watch it more closely. The two sisters-in-law are influenced by him, and sometimes they will not allow their children to go to the beach to play.
He has seen and heard too many children who drowned because of playing with water, how many parents regret it, and those who drown are often those who can swim, especially naughty boys, every child is the treasure of parents , if something unexpected happens, it will be heart-wrenching.
He would rather keep a close eye on it than regret it in the future. Children are young and ignorant, and most of the time they don't behave obediently.
Ye Yaodong picked up while walking, the tide did not recede so fast, he searched back and forth around the water level, and watched the child by the way.
A few children waited for the low tide to pick up, no matter what they picked up, they threw it into his bucket.
"Dad, there are a lot of air holes here..."
"Take a look."
Ye Chenghu complied, stretched out his hand and clasped it, "It's a sand clam..."
"Forget it, don't dig it, it's a waste of time. I don't know how long it will take to dig this small piece of air bubble hole. I have already picked up a lot of big clams in the bucket. You can look around and see if there are any small fish that have been stranded. Shrimp and crab?"
"Okay, then I will ask my mother, the first aunt and the second aunt to dig!"
"Then don't step on these bubble holes, or you won't be able to recognize them later, and you won't be able to dig them out."
Although sand clams are more delicious than big clams, Ye Yaodong has already swollen, so he can't look down on this small piece of sand clams.
Fish, shrimp, crab, octopus, shells, conch, everything in the bucket, except for fish, the rest can be put in the pot at night, steamed in a large pot, fragrant~
Amidst the excitement of the children who found a crab, a fish, and a conch, the tide receded to the bottom, and it took almost an hour.
The distance from the beach to the house has also been extended, about 200 meters away. When the tide ebbs on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the tide will recede even further.
"Third Uncle, is it over?"
"Third uncle, can we put the bottles and cans down?"
"Third uncle, can you let it go?"
"Father, can you let it go? The tide shouldn't be receding anymore, right?"
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go, find a place for yourself, put it yourself, insert the stick a little deeper, and hit the rock for a while longer."
"okay!"
The children were all jumping for joy.
Several children from the neighbors next door followed them all the way out. They didn't know what they were doing, so they asked again, but they were just sent back by saying, "You'll find out later."
No matter boys or girls, everyone has a bunch of bottles and cans, dragging them away, everyone is enthusiastic, and they split up to find a piece of land to occupy.
It wasn’t too far away. At a glance, they stood in a row, only separated by two or three meters, and began to beat and beat the sticks to the bottom of the sand.
The other children squatted there to watch, watching them work curiously.
After they knocked the sticks and felt that they had hit the sand firmly, they tied the ropes round and round to the pillars, and then carefully placed the earthen pots on their sides one by one, facing the sea.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Oh, don't bother, I told you everything, and you will know when the time comes, don't ask."
"When is that time?"
"I'll find out when I get back from school tomorrow."
"I have to wait until tomorrow, I thought I would know soon..."
"Go away, go away, don't get in the way here."
After Ye Chenghai finished tying up his earthen pot, he felt a little empty for a moment. After this was done, he didn’t know what to do for a while.
"Third Uncle, can we just do this?"
"Well, it just so happens that the tide is low when you come back from school tomorrow, so come and collect."
"Then what are we going to do now? It's so boring."
"Taohai, go out and look for me in all directions, pick up everything for me, and steam it in a pot at night, and share some with your family for extra meals. Haven't you eaten fresh seafood for a few days?"
"Ok~"
This is what they like to do too!
Some eat, some play.
Ye Yaodong also went for a walk outside the reef, and by the way stepped on a big rock to look out at the sea. It seemed that there were not too many waves today. After the rain, the sea was rarely calm without waves.
I reckoned that after a few days of rest, I went to sea again to make money.
At this time, many people came out to hang out on the beach. There were adults and children. Most of them ran to the beach to play and pick up some stranded seafood.
How can an adult value such a thing? That is to say, the child is greedy and wants to eat everything.
Some children saw a row of pillars standing here, and there were bottles and cans on the beach. They circled around curiously and touched them by the way, but they were chased away by the stingy Ye Chenghai.
There was a group of child laborers, and Ye Yaodong didn't want to work anymore, so he threw the bucket aside to fill them, and he squatted on the reef to dig seaweed.
I don’t know when patches of sea greens grew around the rocks, and no one wanted them. He planned to take two more and cook them for two meals, or use them as cold salads.
If it is cold, the quantity will be a little more, otherwise it will be concentrated.
Leading them to play on the beach until the sun went down, Ye Yaodong drove a group of monkeys home.
Seeing that the other children were also running home one after another, they went back with confidence.
A bucket, under the labor of so many child laborers, was filled to the brim. Ye Yaodong felt heavy in his hand, and it weighed 20 catties.
He also waved his hand happily, "After taking it back to wash, pick out the small fish and fry it, I will treat you as a reward, and the other seafood will be steamed in a pot and shared with your family."
"Thank you third uncle!"
"Thank you third uncle, third uncle is so kind!"
"It's great! I want to fry small fish~"
"Yo yo ~ we are going to eat fried fish ~ delicious and crunchy fried small fish ~"
Everyone cheered happily.
The wish I made in the afternoon can be fulfilled in the evening, which is great! Uncle San is great!
The children of the neighbors are envious. Except for Chinese New Year, who can eat fried food?
Uncle Ye is so kind...
