Chapter 164 Opening Oysters

They stayed awake all night until dawn. The whole family got up late this morning. They all went to bed too late last night, including the two children.

But when they woke up and saw Ye Yaodong, the two of them immediately remembered the pancakes and maltose that their father had promised them. They had fallen asleep yesterday and didn't know what he was doing.

"Dad, dad, where are our oil cakes and our maltose?"

"Dad~Dad~"

The two of them climbed directly to Ye Yaodong, one pushed him and the other sat on him, scaring him so much that he immediately woke up and protected his life.

"Get down!"

"Dad, you agreed yesterday to bring us pancakes and maltose!"

"Hmm, yes, oil cakes, maltose!"

Lin Xiuqing was also woken up and sat up, "I started reciting it early in the morning. I have been reciting it all night yesterday."

"Dad promised us! Keep your word!"

Ye Yaodong's face was wrinkled, and he was being tormented by two people without even opening his eyes. The younger one sat on his stomach and twisted around. He turned sideways, put him down directly, and said quickly: "Buy, buy, buy. On the table outside.”

"Oh~yeah yeah~"

"Yeah yeah yeah~~"

The two of them climbed out of bed without wearing any clothes because of their excitement, and rushed out one after the other.

After Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief, he took the quilt and covered himself and continued to close his eyes.

Lin Xiuqing sat aside and laughed at him while getting dressed, "Let's see if you dare to seduce them next time. If you say anything else, they might forget. If you bring them food, they won't forget it for a long time." .”

"That's true. I asked as soon as my eyes opened. I thought they would forget about it after one night." Ye Yaodong sat up and hugged her, pushed her back to the bed, and took off the clothes she had just put on, "Lie down again Now, I went to bed too late last night."

"What are you doing? The two children are up. It's time to get up and make breakfast."

"Don't worry, just sleep a little longer."

Ye Yaodong put one arm around her waist and put one leg across her body to hold her down.

"Don't make trouble, it's already dawn..." Lin Xiuqing struggled and whispered.

"I've been holding it in for a long time..."

More than half a month has passed since he came back from his mother-in-law's house. He didn't dare to act rashly. He would endure it if he could, but if it took too long, he would always think about it. What if he got pregnant?

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's so early in the morning and the two children are still outside. They rushed in after a while."

"Is that okay tonight?"

Lin Xiuqing said hesitantly: "Let's wait until night... Let's talk about it. Let me get up first so that the child can see it later."

Ye Yaodong reluctantly let her go after getting over the addiction, letting her get up, then rolled up the quilt, intending to continue lying down for a while, taking it easy, as she was easily impulsive in the morning.

The tide every day receded about 50 minutes later than the previous day, and he got up late in the morning. The tide was low at around 8 o'clock. The water level was too shallow and it was difficult for the boat to go out. He could stay out of bed and wait until he finished eating. After lunch, we go out to collect the ground cage net.

It's just that the wish is beautiful, but the reality is that two children ran in again chirping.

"Dad, Mom has put away the maltose and won't let us eat it."

Ye Yaodong turned over and looked at them, "If your mother doesn't give you food, what can I do?"

….

"Tell her, didn't you buy that?"

"I bought it, but if she doesn't feed it to you, there's nothing I can do about it. I have to be controlled by her."

"Aren't you the head of the family? If you scold her, she will listen to you."

Lin Xiuqing happened to be walking in from outside to help them get dressed when she heard these words. She pinched his ears and slapped his butt hard.

"You're itchy, aren't you?"

Ye Yaodong also glared at his eldest son. He deserved to be beaten for being heard saying such things.

"Ah, I was wrong, mother..."

"Why don't you feed them to them? After buying them, why don't they just leave them to spoil?"

Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "You listened to his lie and kept half of the words. I told him to wait until after the meal to eat. He is not allowed to eat now. This kid couldn't wait and ran in to complain."

Ye Yaodong didn't speak for them this time, and actually took the words out of context, which was quite clever.

After watching her teach her son a lesson, he also woke up. He simply got up and went to the back door to see how the shelled ones were divided yesterday.

I saw bamboo baskets piled up in the corner of the back door, all carefully sorted into categories. Only a sack of oysters was still intact in the corner.

This is because he told her not to move yet yesterday.

"A Dong didn't go to sea today?"

"Well, sister-in-law, the tide hasn't arrived yet, so we can go there in the afternoon."

"We have made two more ground cages. Do you want to take them to put them in this afternoon?"

"OK."

He now has nearly 60 floor cages, which can accommodate 6 rows.

He silently calculated the family's savings in his mind, and gave her just over 700 at noon and evening. He estimated that the family's savings were only about 2,000, which was still too little. If he took it all, he could only buy a second-hand trawl net. Ships, in fact, the most important thing is that the machines on the ship are expensive.

After thinking about it, it was better to leave the small boat first. This small wooden boat didn't last long. I would wait until the baby is born safely next year, the fines are paid, and I have money on hand to change it.

With this in mind, he went into the house and got a washbasin. After cleaning it, he put it aside. Then he dragged the sack of oysters out from the corner, untied the straw rope tied to the opening, and poured it out.

Wearing gloves and holding a flat-blade screwdriver, I planned to take advantage of the free time before breakfast to help open a little bit, so that I wouldn't have to do this work to others.

Each of these oysters is over 5+ in size. As soon as the shell is opened, the meat inside is so full that it almost overflows. They are very fat.

It's a pity that there is no mustard. Otherwise, if you squeeze a little mustard and apply it on it, it will be very delicious if you eat it raw.

After thinking about it, he simply shouted to Lin Xiuqing in the room: "Aqing? Have you prepared the porridge yet? Can I wash a few oysters and steam them?"

"Okay, I'll clear the pot."

He dug out the meat and put it in the washbasin. He picked out ten more beautiful ones, rinsed them and used a scrub brush to brush away the sand on the outer shell.

Then he took it into the house and gave it to Lin Xiu to steam, then went back to the back door and continued to open the oysters.

Every piece of meat that comes out is very full. It would be a pity to dry it in the sun, but there is no way to store it without drying. Such a sack cannot be eaten in two days.

He opened four or five oysters in a row, but none of them contained what he wanted, and he was not very disappointed. After all, probability is hard to say. It might be possible that a whole sack of oysters did not come out with even one oyster.

….

While he was busy working, Mother Ye came over beaming with joy. Even from the back door, he could hear his mother's loud voice from the front door.

After a while, he came out of the back door of his sister-in-law's house from far away, then looked at him with bright eyes, and walked over quickly.

"Dongzi, you didn't open it yesterday? I thought you also opened it yesterday, and I was just about to come over and ask you how many pills you had opened."

He raised his eyebrows. Seeing his mother looking so happy, she must have gained something yesterday. "Did you get pearls yesterday? How many?"

Sister-in-law Ye followed Mother Ye and was shocked when she heard this, "Pearl?"

Sister-in-law Ye had just poured the oysters that Mother Ye had brought over into her own bowl, and when she came out with the bowl to return it to her, she heard Sister-in-law Ye talking about pearls!

What pearl?

She came forward curiously, "Mom, what pearls are you talking about?"

Mother Ye narrowed her eyes with a smile and said happily: "I'm telling you, don't go out and tell me. Huimei and I opened the whole bag of oysters last night, and we found 3 pearls, plus her own." Of the ones opened on the island, she got 4 of them this time.”

"What? 4 pearls?"

Both of them opened their eyes in disbelief.

Ye Yaodong was also a little surprised. He could get 2 pills out of one bag, which was pretty good. He didn't know if he could get out of this bag.

Fatty and the others were not at home last night like him, and they didn't know if their wife drove out yesterday.

Ye Mu said happily: "Yes, pearls come out of oysters. I didn't expect that pearls can really come out of oysters. I have only heard of them before, but never seen them before."

"Huimei didn't say anything when she came back at noon yesterday. It wasn't until I opened one last night that she was willing to tell her. This stinky girl was probably afraid that I would take her..."

Mother Ye complained while talking, "She is still young and not married yet. I helped her collect it. How can I not return it to her? There is still such a large amount of money, and I have to keep it myself. I am My mother, not my stepmother, can I still be greedy..."

The two sisters were confused again, what a big sum of money?

This is both pearls and money, why didn’t mother make it clearer?

Only Lin Xiuqing, who heard the sound and came out, understood it and knew the whole story. She smiled and said: "My little sister is not young anymore, she is already 20. Didn't my mother always ask people to introduce her partners? Then she is divorced and married. It’s not far away, and there’s nothing wrong with taking what you earn.”

The two sisters-in-law feel like cat's claws in their hearts, scratching their hearts and livers. Why don't they make it clearer?

Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but interjected: "Mom, what are you talking about with pearls in the oysters and a large amount of money? Can you make it clearer? We all heard it in confusion."

"Oh, it's been explained so clearly, why don't you understand?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and explained to them again at the side. Only then did the two sisters understand. They were immediately envious. They slapped their thighs and regretted why they didn't have the shamelessness to follow yesterday?

They walked a few steps quickly and approached Ye Yaodong. They looked at the oysters on the ground and the sack next to them. They picked up an oyster and looked at it, but found nothing special about it.

How can I get pearls?

When they heard about it before, they thought it was just a rumor and a lie, but they didn't expect that oysters could really be opened?

….

Sister-in-law Ye still couldn't help but ask: "Is it really made from oysters?"

Ye Mu rolled her eyes, "I've said it several times, but you still don't believe it! When Dongzi comes out later, you should believe it."

Ye Yaodong listened to the four women chattering there, each with a louder voice than the other, and couldn't help but shake his head. One woman is equal to 500 ducks!

Sister-in-law Ye asked again: "Mom, did my little sister really earn more than 300 yuan yesterday?"

The troubled and uncomfortable look on her face seemed to have missed a hundred million!

Ye Yaodong felt bad for her when he saw it.

"Is there still a holiday? Dongzi helped to take it to the town and sell it. It's a pity. I originally wanted to go there yesterday morning, but you aunties called me to dig sand clams at the beach, so I missed it. Oh, it's really So angry……"

Sister-in-law Ye also asked Lin Xiuqing, "My sister's has been sold for more than 300 yuan, are you selling more?"

How can you tell them exactly how much money you make?

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "It's not much different, just a little more than the little sister. The little sister has opened the pearl, but we haven't opened it yet. A Dong didn't tell me yesterday and just asked me not to touch that one yet." I hurried out with a bag of oysters and didn't come back until night. When I went to my hometown yesterday afternoon, my little sister didn't tell me that I didn't even know there could be pearls in the oysters."

"That's great. These are pearls and they are sold for money. You have made a lot of money again." Sister-in-law Ye was extremely envious.

Sister-in-law Ye was also very envious, "I also got several sacks of goods. These can last for a long time."

"ah!"

At this moment, Ye Yaodong shouted in surprise, and they immediately turned their heads.

"pearl?"

"Is it really coming?"

Listening to what others say is not as true as seeing it with your own eyes, it’s incredible!
