Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1026 Don't let my wife know (Leader Feixiang's Bajie plus one)

"Where's my suitcase?"

"I've just brought it back, but I haven't opened it yet. I'll open it when I have time. Are there any dirty clothes to be washed? You've only been out for a day, so the clothes inside should be clean, right? The goods are brought back to sell, so there shouldn't be any manifest in the box, right?" Lin Xiuqing thought he was looking for the manifest and wanted to give it to her.

"There is a cargo manifest. When the ship sailed out, it went to town to refuel with oil and ice. It is in the zipper of the compartment. Because of the rain, the clothes are all dirty and wet. All need to be washed. But you have to take out the camera from the inner compartment and give it to me first."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "After talking so much, you are looking for a camera? You didn't take any pictures when you first pulled it out of the water?"

"Hey, if you don't bother me, I'll bring the camera on board?"

"You thought I didn't know you brought it on the ship? I have to check this valuable thing every few days. If I didn't find it, how could I not know you secretly brought it on the ship? I just don't want to say anything to you or bother with you."

"Hey, go get it quickly. Take a picture for me and I'll kill it. I'll let you guys taste what a fish that has survived a catastrophe tastes like tonight."

Fortunately, she didn't ask the price. Once he finished taking the photos, the matter was settled. Hehehe~hehehe~
When Lin Xiuqing entered the room and turned around to look for something, the old lady took two steps, stretched her neck to look at the door, then turned around and whispered to him.

"This fish should be worth more than a few dozen yuan, right? Fish maw is very valuable. In the past 10 to 20 years, fish maw alone could be sold for dozens of yuan, and good ones could be sold for hundreds of yuan. If you don't tell her, you'll get scolded later."

"Ah, you know a lot?"

The old lady grinned, "Of course, such a big fish must have thick isinglass. Not all big fish have good isinglass, but this hairfish's is very good and will be valuable."

"Then you won't accuse me of wasting food? Why would I eat something so expensive?"

"You work so hard, you should eat some good food, how can it be a waste? No one can suffer, but you can't let yourself suffer. You just need to nourish yourself, otherwise what will you do if you collapse from exhaustion? When you are young, you should eat more good food and nourish your body, so that you won't be sick when you are old, and your body will be healthy... hush..."

When the old lady heard the noise coming from inside the house, she immediately fell silent and waited for Lin Xiuqing to come out.

Ye Yaodong smiled.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing came out, she saw the old lady's eyes glanced at her, then quickly put them away, looking at his grandchildren suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Feel like something is wrong?

The old lady waved her hands quickly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just said that such a big fish is not easy to kill. You have to be careful when you kill it. I'll go and help sharpen the knife."

After saying that, she pretended nothing had happened and went to get the kitchen knife. Without even looking up at A Qing, she went to the door to sharpen the knife. Her back showed a guilty feeling.

Ye Yaodong also smiled and took the camera from Lin Xiuqing, "After I take a picture of the fish, you can take a picture of us together."

"Okay, what's the point of taking pictures of these fish all day long?"

"You do not understand……"

"Okay, okay, okay, I don't understand. I don't understand. I won't ask. If you want to take pictures, take pictures. It's up to you."

I estimate that the film in there is only enough for three or four photos. If he comes back from Linji in a few days, I will see if he has two rolls at home, so I don’t have to go to the town.

He consumes food so quickly, which is really a waste of money. No wonder they say the richer people are, the more they spend money. It is because after eating, the extra demand becomes greater.

The big fish looked to be about 1.67 or 1.78 meters long, but it was probably not as tall as him. After being carried home, it was placed directly on the stove. Unfortunately, the stove was small, so only the upper part of the fish could be on the stove, and most of the lower body almost hung to the ground.

"These brats, do they have no place to put the fish? They just threw it on the stove."

"Maybe he was in a hurry. He brought it in, put it there for a while, and then ran out to the dock. Where are you going to put the fish for the photo?"

"Let's go outside. The light is better outside."

Ye Yaodong temporarily put the camera on the table, and then he and A Qing, one lifting the head and the other lifting the tail, worked hard to move the fish out little by little.

"Fish~Fish~" Pei Yu stood up happily and clapped his hands when he saw such a big fish.

Ye Xiaoxi squatted on the ground and took a glance, showing no interest at all, and continued to bury her palm-sized doll in the soil.

When the fish was carried into the house, they ran in excitedly, touched it for a while, played with it for a while before coming out, so she was a little uninterested now.

When the old lady saw them carrying the fish out, she looked around. There was nothing on the ground to put it under the fish. She couldn't just throw such a big fish on the ground.

"Wait a minute, I'll get something to cushion it, so the fish won't get dirty."

She looked at the corner and quickly took out two snakeskin bags and placed them side by side on the ground as a cushion.

"Put it here."

The couple carefully put the fish slowly on the ground, and Lin Xiuqing also shook his arms.

"This fish is really heavy. It weighs more than 100 kilograms. My arms are numb from the weight."

"152 pounds, heavier than me and almost as tall as me." After saying that, Ye Yaodong quickly ran into the house to get the camera.

"Then how are you going to carry it and take pictures by yourself later? You'll need at least two people to help carry it."

He walked out, fiddling with the camera, and said, "Just ask someone to carry it later, or wait for my dad to come back."

"Where's Dad? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"There are some ice cubes left on the boat that haven't been consumed. We're afraid they'll be wasted, so we're going to sell them to Ah Cai at a lower price. Dad is taking Ah Cai to the boat to check out the remaining ice cubes, and we'll bring them down to him. We should be back soon."

The only surprising thing was that his father didn't come, but came to Lin Ji instead, which surprised him.

"A Dong!"

Ye Yaodong had just tested the exposure and was about to take a picture of the hairfish when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Fuck, you're so elusive? When did you come back? I went to your house a few days ago, and your wife said you went out and there was no news since then."

"Well, he went out to sell goods and make money. He came back immediately after selling the goods."

Ye Yaodong thought of the lightning and thunder last night, and this guy must have come back last night as well.

"Arrived home last night?"

"I got home in the early morning."

"How did you know I was home?"

"I just came out for a walk after lunch to check the tide, and I saw two large white and blue ships parked on the sea. I thought you might be back as well. And your workshop happened to be right next to me, so I went to take a look, and saw a pile of goods in the corner."

"I just got home two hours ago. There was thunder and lightning last night, so I came back early. What a pity. I just went out yesterday and came back today. It was a waste of my gas money."

As soon as Lin Ji Shang entered the yard, he noticed the huge fish on the ground. He couldn't tell what kind of fish it was, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He gave him two cigarettes and lit them for both of them.

Then he pointed at the fish on the ground with his cigarette butt and said, "What kind of fish is this? It's so big, taller than a person. Are you going to kill it and eat it?"

"Yes, I'm going to kill it and eat it myself. I've never eaten such a big fish before. You came at the right time. Please help me lift it. Let my wife help take a picture with us."

"Okay, let's shoot now, right?"

"Yes, shoot it now, and then kill it quickly while it's fresh."

"it is good."

He put the lit cigarette in his mouth and bit it, then took off his cotton jacket.

Ye Yaodong also took off his cotton-padded jacket, and both of them kept holding cigarettes in the same posture, looking a bit ruffian.

Then he instructed Lin Jishang to do the same as him and directly grab the fish's gills, and the two of them worked together to lift the fish up.

"Fuck, it's so heavy?"

Lin Ji was originally holding the fish by its gills with one hand, but the fish was too big and too heavy to be lifted with one hand, so he could only use both hands to lift it with great effort.

Ye Yaodong did the same. He held the fish's gills with both hands at the same time, then looked down at the fish's tail, letting the fish's tail just touch the ground before he stood up straight.

"Stand over to the motorcycle and take a picture of it!"

"There are too many things to do." Lin Xiuqing was already prepared, but she had to pause and let them move.

"Alright, alright, that's it."

He supported the fish head with one hand as if to show off, and used the other hand to take the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Take a more handsome picture for me."

"I understand." Lin Xiuqing responded unhappily.

"Take two more photos."

After Lin Xiuqing took two pictures, she found that she had no film.

"The film is all used up. What have you been doing? Didn't you just replace this roll? I didn't even bother to take a few photos during the New Year, and it's all used up so quickly?"

"It's used up, so soon?" He repeated it and looked up at Lin Jishang.

Lin Jishang replied politely, "I have a few more at home. I'll bring two to you later."

Ye Yaodong grinned happily, "How can I let you spend money on this?"

"It's okay. I have some ready-made."

"Okay, I won't be polite then. Put the fish down first. When the photos are developed later, I'll send one to you as a souvenir."

"What kind of fish is this? Others were reluctant to take pictures, but you took pictures of the fish and took several pictures."

Ye Yaodong watched Lin Xiuqing take the camera into the house and whispered, "Maoyu, don't let my wife know. I'll kill the fish later and cut a piece of meat for you to take back."

Even though Lin Ji was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still surprised, and instantly felt sorry for his wasteful behavior.

"You just chopped up the hairfish and ate it like that? If your wife knew about it, wouldn't she make a fuss with you?"

"Oh, she doesn't dare. I have the final say at home. What's more, the valuable thing is the fish maw inside. Can't I just dry it and keep it?"

Then why don't you let his wife know?

"How about you sell me the isinglass?"

"I won't sell it. I'm going to save it as a family heirloom. Or if my child doesn't grow taller, I'll stew it for my own children to eat."

"You make too much money, don't you?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and pointed at the old lady, "The old lady said, you can make others suffer but not yourself."

Lin Ji was speechless for a while.

"Then if I tell your wife now, will she sell it to me?"

Ye Yaodong widened his eyes and watched him smile like a fox.

"Grass!"

After cursing the thief in his heart, he told the story of the fish again.

"Let me tell you, this fish is a fish that has survived a catastrophe. It was struck by lightning, and God won't let it continue to grow. Do you think I will sell its fish maw? As long as I take out its photos and fish maw, I can sell it anytime."

"The value of this fish will definitely increase rapidly. This is an unjust fish!"

"If you tell my wife, I won't share the fish meat with you! Are you sure you want to tell my wife? You should know that if you can't buy fish maw, you can still eat a bite of fish meat, which will strengthen your body and replenish your body."

Lin Jishang laughed, "Didn't you say you have the final say at home?"

Ye Yaodong said unhappily: "I am doing this for the harmony of my family. A harmonious family brings prosperity."

"Okay, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. Remember to cut a piece of fish for me later. Let's see if eating it can make me immortal."

"That should be a little worse."
