Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 328 Satisfying Him

After Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng were full, they said hello and left first.

Ye Yaodong watched the squids on the beach in front of him decrease sharply, 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 was obviously more than yesterday, and the number of squids under the water decreased a little, but they gathered again after a while.

Immediately afterwards, they threw another net, and saw that the number of people under the water had decreased a lot, so they moved a little further.

Throughout the afternoon, they moved around, and the two came in rotation, only stopping for three rests in the middle, but each net harvested more or less.

When the sun was setting, the father and son were tired like dogs, leaning against the side of the boat and wiping black sweat.

Ye Yaodong twisted his sore arm, throwing the net with this hand was too frequent and strenuous, but fortunately there were two people in rotation, and they only worked for half a day.

"The sun is setting, are you going back?"

Father Ye saw another squid swimming over not far away, and he was a little reluctant, "Cast two more nets? Seeing that there are many squid swimming over again."

"There are endless catches. It's been a long day since I came out at night. It's almost enough. 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 on the sea for so long, and working hard all the time, who can bear it?

You have to rest when you should take a proper 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 squid after 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."

"Ah."

In the end, 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, the sky was already completely dark. It really came and returned with the stars and the moon. Fortunately, the harvest was good, otherwise Ye Yaodong would really cry.

The fishing boats are full of bamboo baskets, which are piled up for fear of occupying space, and there are basically squid in them, and only two baskets are not full of fish.

Today's squid eggs were harvested quite a lot, weighing three to four catties, and Ye Yaodong only took them out by accidentally netting the branches.

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 that the bamboo baskets around them were full of squids, they also knew that they had a good harvest.

"Father, Ah 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 walked towards the boat while talking, planning to help carry it down together first.

Father Ye asked concerned: "How much load did you take today?"

"We haven't finished weighing yet. There are fourteen full baskets of squid. We even dragged two nets. There are also a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs." Ye Yaopeng grinned and said happily.

They are not afraid of hard work, as long as they are rewarded.

"That's almost 7 loads, which is better than ours. We have twelve baskets, and the harvest is very good."

"Yeah, there are 4 of us, two of us are collecting, and two of us are 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, we can't 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, he 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, heard the sound of rain at night, and continued to sleep in the cage helplessly, and scolded their mothers there when they woke up the next morning.

They were all ready for a big fight, but something unexpected happened.

Everyone can only wait, hoping that this rain will pass quickly. The fishing season does not wait for anyone, and 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."

"I can't help it. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Fortunately, we have done it for two days longer than others."

"I don't know when to stop. It's a gloomy day. It doesn't look so fast."

Fortunately, it was sunny yesterday and dried the peeled fish for a whole day after drying overnight. 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 it's only a hundred days in total. The harvest is not certain, alas..."

"No way, relying on the sea to eat the sea, life is much better now than in the past few years, and everyone can save some money in their hands. You see, in the past few years, every household was busy for a whole year, and only three or four hundred yuan was distributed. In the end, they still owed the food to the brigade.”

"Yeah, now everyone can eat enough and wear warm clothes, don't need sweet potatoes for food, and have money left in their hands."

"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'm so mad that I didn't make less money this day."

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Just take it as a rest, people can't bear to keep spinning every day."

"It's just tiring for a while. Why worry about being tired if you have money? You can go to sea every day..."

He pursed his lips, and it took him a day to say such words.

Get 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?
"It won't stop raining 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 walked in, he saw Lin Xiuqing breastfeeding.

"Why are you eating again?"

"Otherwise? She is only so young, isn't she just waking up and eating, eating and sleeping?"

"At least 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 were not at 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..."

Both 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 have passed birth, so don't accept any favors, just return them."

"I sent them one by one yesterday. I wanted to discuss with you last night. I saw that you came back too late and tired yesterday, so I let them go first."

"Well, then don't do it."

"That's what I thought too. Anyway, it's a loss to run wine. This is the third one. There's no need to do it anymore. I'll 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 are you talking about? I've been my father for 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 on her face, and looked at the father and daughter with tender eyes. His loving and gentle expression was so rare.

Normally, 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 nice to have both children.

The house was full of joy and harmony, but outside it started to rain continuously for three days, and Ye Yaodong happily hugged 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 clear weather, 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 sat 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 slumped his shoulders.

"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 must not be able to stay."

"Then come play again next time."

Lin Guangyuan sighed, "Will you take me out to sea next time?"

"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 take them to pick up squid."

It's safe to put them on the island to pick up squid, just in time, so let them pick up more and bring them back, it's too wasteful for seabirds to eat.

If you don't have to pick it up, you can go to the stone wall to pry and dig.

When Lin Guangyuan heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"Ah."
