Chapter 252 Sinking?

Ye Huimei looked at his parents who were a little shaken and laughed loudly. It was his third brother who had a bad mouth.

Ye Yaodong glanced at her sideways, "What I'm telling you is the truth, okay? Our parents have almost done all the big things that they should do, is there any place to spend a lot of money? We don't spend much money on food and drink, so why bother with it anymore? Sosou?”

"Hahaha, so let's keep one little green dragon for each of us!"

"Yes!"

Mother Ye had nothing to say at this time and just glared at the two brothers and sisters, "You are the only one who has a good mouth, can talk and eat, and specially picks good things. When you get married, let's see if you can still be so lively. "

"You really don't belong to the family. You don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are. When you get married, you have to save money. You will have two sisters-in-law to marry in the future. You can't have too loose fingers in your daily life. You should also take good care of your own man... …”

Ye Huimei was so embarrassed when she told her mother happily that she wasn't even married yet? Just tell her to take care of men...

"Stop talking, I'm not even married yet..."

Father Ye also thought about it. After saving so much money, he should leave it to his three sons to share in the future. They have all suffered for half their lives and they should enjoy some happiness...

What's more, there are so many abalones to pick up today, so it doesn't seem too much to leave a small green dragon for each person?

He glanced at the third child. After staying with this prodigal son for a long time, he felt like he was becoming like him. He actually thought there was nothing wrong with keeping one for each person...

Father Ye coughed dryly, "Then pick the small one and keep one for each person!"

The smile in Ye Yaodong's eyes leaked out. He looked at his father pretending in a funny way and felt that his parents were going to be led astray by him.

"Well, one worth two or three taels is not expensive. If there are eight of us together, the remaining eight will only cost more than two kilograms."

"Anyway, I've kept them all. Let's keep a few more. Your eldest brother and second brother have three children at home. Let's keep three of them for each of the children to have a taste."

Father Ye is also someone who cares about his children. If a grandfather has some good things, his son may not keep them for him, but his grandson will always miss them.

"Okay." Ye Yaodong had no objection. His mother and sister had made the money, and his father was responsible for the distribution.

Mother Ye felt a little distressed and wanted to keep half of it to eat, but she couldn't just eat it for herself, and her grandchildren didn't have to eat.

She could only frown and look out of sight.

"Okay, please stop for a moment and send us to the island first, otherwise we will just stand here and watch, wasting time."

"Dad, you can send my mother and the others there, and take a break on the shore. It's not good to just keep soaking like this."

He is still young, so he can drink some sea serpent wine to get rid of the dampness when he goes back.

"Okay, by the way, pour the contents of the bucket into the sack first. It will be heavy to carry it all the time."

Ye Yaodong also handed the bucket up to empty it first, and then continued to climb up the reef. Starting from the top, he could dig it down so that he could soak in the water for a while. The tide had just begun to recede. When the water level was at its lowest at twelve o'clock, the water would be shallow again. a little.

These reef areas are uneven and slippery, so you need to be careful.

They just didn't have to worry. Safety came first. Anyway, the piles of abalones were still clinging to them tightly and couldn't escape.

Father Ye sailed the boat to the small island next to it, and after putting down the mother and daughter and the tool sacks, he told them to be careful not to climb up or down. They could just put them wherever they could not lift them, and wait until they came to move them. , and then drove the boat back to the reef.

At this time, Ye Yaodong had already dug out another half of the bucket. Practice makes perfect, and it was really fun to dig into these fist-sized abalones.

"Dongzi, we have to dig these abalone and conch all day."

"It shouldn't be so. Although it looks densely packed, it's because of its big size. It's quick to pick them out one by one. Look, isn't there a large area of ​​​​empty space? In some places, the crawling is not very dense. Two people can dig it out quickly. .”

"Fortunately there are no starfish here, otherwise these abalones would have been eaten again."

"really."

"Hurry up and dig. We'll go over to your mother's place to have a look around 8 o'clock and take a break to cook something to eat."

As Father Ye was talking, he climbed up to a reef and poured the water out of his rain boots. However, he couldn't sit firmly and almost slipped. Ye Yaodong was shocked and shook his body. Almost fell down.

"Ah, Dad, be careful."

"My butt is too slippery and I couldn't sit firmly for a while."

"You take it easy, or go to the side. The reef is flatter. You stand there, and I'll do the higher one."

Father Ye stretched out his head and took a look, and said without forcing it, "Okay."

This reef is neither too big nor too small. They have company, and the father and son talk and feel that time is not passing slowly. The key is that both of them are very motivated, and they are very excited when they think about the big money coming in. Very.

It wasn't until the two of them poured two more buckets each and looked at the time that it was already 8 o'clock that they all climbed onto the boat.

Ye Yaodong took off his rain boots and socks and looked at his whitened and wrinkled feet. He suddenly felt that money was not that easy to earn. If you want to get rich, you have to pay a price.

Otherwise, people at the beach tend to suffer from rheumatism as they get older.

Moreover, people at the beach love to drink, and especially like to make various kinds of seafood medicinal wine, just to remove moisture.

He casually took a rag and wiped his feet. He wasn't going to put on his shoes anymore. He let his feet dry first and then sailed to the island to have breakfast.

Father Ye was also naked and without shoes. He wrenched the legs of his trousers and rolled them up high to prevent them from sticking to his legs.

Looking at the opportunity, he first put the water in a pot and boiled it. The pot was not that big, and four people had to cook two pots.

After the boat docked at the island, the water in the pot was almost boiling. Originally, the two islands were not that far apart.

Father Ye tore a few pieces of cabbage and put it down, then put the rice noodles down after opening again, then threw in some dried cabbage, stirred it up and was about to cover it when he heard Ye Yaodong say.

"Dad, dig some abalones down..."

Father Ye's hands shook when he heard this. When he put the lid on the pot, he failed to cover it properly. It tilted and fell on the board of the ship.

Ye Yaodong laughed playfully, "My feet have turned white from soaking. Isn't it too much to eat one?"

It's not okay for his parents to be so picky and reluctant to eat or drink. He has to straighten them out!

Father Ye glared at his prodigal son, then silently took out four smaller-looking abalones. He dug out the flesh of the abalones, cut off the belly, and simply rinsed them with water without scratching them with a knife. The knife was thrown in and cooked together.

"That's right. People work so hard just to have a better life, right dad."

"Stop talking about it. Even if you ruin the family by yourself, you have to bring your father and mother to do the same."

"This is called sharing blessings. I and I must not be filial to each other."

Father Ye is already powerless towards him. Fortunately, he is now willing to work hard and earn a lot. If you make money, you can take out some and eat it.

It's better than just sitting around doing nothing all day like before.

"Go and call your mother and sister. Let's get on the boat and have something to eat first. It's been several hours since the night. The cold wind has been blowing for so long. Come up and have something hot to warm your body. Don't worry about digging."

"okay."

Ye Yaodong didn't bother to get off the boat. He just stood on the boat and shouted at the top of his lungs. After shouting a few times, their figures were revealed from the edge of the reef. They washed their hands in the sea water and went ashore.

"I finally ate, I feel so hungry."

"Rice noodles don't have rice cakes to stave off hunger. In the next few days, I will ask other people to buy some glutinous rice and use the workshop to process rice cakes. Anyway, I will stock up on rice cakes during the Chinese New Year and prepare them in advance."

"Is it too early to make rice cakes so early?"

"Do a little first."

"Eat first..."

As soon as Ye's father opened the lid of the pot, Ye's mother looked at the abalone in the pot and said nothing. Everyone took a bowl and ate happily.

"Cook another pot and put some more abalones in it."

This abalone has thick meat, is strong and plump, soft and smooth, and tastes much better than farmed abalone.

"I really know how to eat..."

Mother Ye muttered something, and seeing that the sacks in the corner were quite full, she went to take out four, one for each person.

It can be seen that Ye Yaodong's brainwashing was very successful!

Ye Huimei snickered and winked at her third brother, and Ye Yaodong grinned.

In fact, his parents were not in very good health. In the past few years, they had not enough to eat, and they worked hard to earn work points. They were overworked. Now that they are old, they should have some good food and nourish themselves.

After cooking two pots, the family was full. After resting for a while, Ye Mu and Ye Huimei went back to the isolated island to continue their work.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father also sailed the boat to the reef island, ready to continue working. They picked up a sack in front which was not very full, only 6% full. Now that they were full and strong, they continued to work.

But he didn't know if it was because of his psychology. Although the tide was ebbing now, he felt that the water level had not dropped at all, but was still a bit high.

He frowned and looked at his father, "Dad, do you feel like this reef seems to be... sinking?"

Yes, it’s sinking!

He suddenly thought of this word. It was not that the tide was not receding, but that the reef was sinking. Therefore, although the tide was clearly receding, the topography of the seabed was not rising more, but the water level was getting higher.

Father Ye was also surprised, "If you don't tell me, I haven't realized that this reef is indeed sinking."

"Damn, is this going to sink again after the crustal movement?"

"It's very possible that it may have been sinking. We were too focused on digging before and didn't pay attention."

"Damn it, dig quickly. It feels like the water level is high again? The tide is obviously receding."

"Then hurry up..."

This has already entered the treasure mountain, and there is no reason for it to sink again. The father and son suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly carried the empty bucket down.

Ye Yaodong paid attention to the water level. When he entered the water in the morning, the same position was only up to his knees, but now it was a little above his knees. The tide was clearly ebbing.

"Grass, it's really bad. It's really going to sink again. Is it just a flash in the pan? Dig quickly. The tide is receding. If we can slow down the decline, we can dig as much as we can."

"Well, hurry up."
