Chapter 270 Nightmare
There were quite a lot of couple fish surrounding the entire hull. The family didn’t pick them up for a while before they straightened up and beat their backs, and then bent down to pick them up again.
Ye Yaodong started picking it up from outside. After all, the tide would rise soon. It would be a pity if the rising tide was pushed back into the sea by the sea water.
After picking up a full basket, he pulled the bamboo basket forward, carried it on the boat with his father, and then picked up an empty basket again.
The family of four were completely selfless when picking up, and they were so happy that they had long forgotten what happened before.
By the time they had picked up almost all the fish around the boat, the tide was rising little by little.
Ye's father suffered from rheumatism for several days and did not dare to walk too far. Ye Yaodong saw that he had almost picked up, so he asked his father to get on the boat and pile the baskets of husband and wife fish into a better place, leaving a little bit behind. They just pick it up.
An hour passed until all the fish were gone, and everyone's backs could no longer straighten.
After the last basket of goods was loaded onto the boat, Ye Yaodong twisted his waist and sighed, "This is all hard-earned money..."
"Otherwise, do you think it's so easy to make money? It's been pretty good these past few years. You see, in the past few years, when we were eating from a big pot, we didn't even think about making money. Then everything was collective."
"Yes, life is much better now", Father Ye also agreed, "I think back then..."
"Don't think about the past..." Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's reminiscing about the past. How could he have time to listen now?
"The tide is coming up. Let's lift all the shellfish we just dug onto the boat. Otherwise, the water level will be too full later and it will be difficult to move them, and it will be even harder to walk on the rocks."
"Yes, yes, let's move it onto the boat first."
Mother Ye said with some pity: "It seems it's still early, should I go dig some more?"
"It's getting late, it's past two o'clock. I have to collect a longline and a sticky net later. It will be four or five o'clock when I finish collecting it, so it's almost time."
"It's so fast. I feel like I didn't do much today..."
"Isn't your waist sore? Doesn't your back hurt?" Ye Yaodong looked at his mother holding her waist with one hand and still saying that she didn't do anything today?
The boat is almost full, and you still say you haven’t done anything?
The older generation are so capable!
"A little bit, I just feel like time flies by very quickly."
"Isn't that right? When you have work to do, doesn't time pass very quickly?"
After Ye Yaodong waited for his father to pile up the goods in the corner, they got off the boat and moved them together. Ye's mother and Ye Huimei were waiting on the boat to help them.
After getting everything on board, they rested for a while. After the tide rose a little more, the boat was barely able to sail out.
The longline fishing did not catch anything special, it was still the bottom fish, but a lot of palm-length nine-segmented shrimps stuck to the net, which made Ye Huimei very happy.
Among the common seafood these days, nine-section shrimps are relatively expensive, especially for such a big size. There are about twelve shrimps per pound, and they cost several yuan per pound.
This net caught seven or eight kilograms of shrimp. Nine-section shrimps will die immediately when they land. They commit suicide and are the most temperate shrimps.
After getting into the water, it will spit out secretions and kill itself, so that those who like to try new things will not get involved. It is quite heroic and heroic. ….
However, they are about to dock, and if they die, it will not affect them.
Ye Yaodong shook the nine-section shrimp in the basket and said with a smile: "You happen to be engaged tomorrow, so you can stay and serve it."
Ye Huimei's cheeks flushed a little shyly, but she remained silent.
The appearance at this time is much more pleasing to the eye. When he was on the island before, he had always been pale.
Mother Ye also nodded, "I'll pick it up later and save some goods. They are my own things anyway."
It’s another day full of work. Fish fish are not very rare in this era. Fishermen can catch a few occasionally, but the boats are full of them, which attracts the curious eyes of many villagers.
When they got off the boat, everyone gathered around and asked, "Where did you catch so many fish? Aren't these things only available in summer?"
"How many baskets are there in these? I see that your boats are stacked, and every basket is full..."
"Recently, they are all about toad fish and flounder. This fish is rare, but so many have been caught..."
Mother Ye smiled and said while carrying her away: "It swam up on its own and circled around our boat in piles. They were also stacked one on top of the other in pairs. We all held on to it for a long time, until our waists were broken." It’s broken, I don’t know where so many of them came from, I’m exhausted from picking them up…”
Ye Yaodong raised the other side without saying a word, just fuck Versailles...
He had never eaten this thing before, so he kept a few to try out, and weighed all the others.
Twelve baskets weighed 667 kilograms after weighing. They were not expensive at that time, only 2 cents per kilogram, but they were sold for more than 100 yuan. There were also longline and trawl goods, which together also sold for nearly 200 yuan.
He kept the few conches and cat's-eye snails he picked up, planning to take them back and eat them himself.
When Lin Xiuqing saw the couple fish he brought back, she didn't know where to start. "How do I get this? I've never killed one before."
"I'll do it."
I haven’t eaten it before, but I still know how to kill him.
Remove the meat without the shell, then wash the removed meat and chop it into small pieces with a knife, not too small.
After telling Lin Xiuqing to stir-fry, he didn't care. He only knew how to eat, not how to cook. It was a good division of labor and cooperation.
However, it should be noted that adult fish are not poisonous, only juvenile horseshoe crabs are poisonous. Young horseshoe crabs, also known as ghost horseshoe crabs, are poisonous all over their bodies.
Fortunately, they captured all the adults and released the useless ones.
Afraid of worrying Lin Xiuqing and fearing to scare her, Ye Yaodong didn't mention anything about meeting a drifter at sea when he came back, nor did he buy pearl powder to eat. He thought it was over and didn't take it to heart, and there was no need to eat pearls. The powder calms the nerves.
But he didn't expect that he would have a nightmare at night. In the dream, his face, which was so swollen that his facial features could not be seen, was clearly visible, and that face was so familiar, it was clearly what he looked like in old age.
He woke up from his dream instantly and sat up directly.
He felt that he must be thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night. An unintentional association in his mind during the day actually made him have this dream. It was so terrible. Did he collect the body for himself? Let your self in the previous life protect yourself in this life?
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuqing felt the movement beside her and sat up.
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
"What kind of nightmare? You're such an old man, and you still react so badly to nightmares." Lin Xiuqing patted his chest soothingly, "It's okay, it's just a dream. Go to sleep quickly, my little sister is getting engaged tomorrow."….
Ye Yaodong grabbed her hand and said, "Well, go to sleep."
"What nightmare are you having?"
"I'll scare you to death if I say it. It's better not to listen and go to sleep quickly."
At this time, Ye Chengyang also turned over and groaned. Ye Yaodong quickly picked him up and said, "Good boy... I need to hold you to pee..."
After working for a while, he temporarily put the nightmare behind him. He felt a little at ease holding his wife, and he couldn't help but cover her belly with his hands, which was already slightly bulging when she was lying flat.
After Lin Xiu woke up, she suddenly couldn't sleep. "It's the second day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow, and the Chinese New Year will be in less than a month. We should prepare the New Year's gifts and go back to send New Year's greetings to my parents."
"Well, okay, after my little sister gets engaged, you can decide whether to go before the winter solstice or after the winter solstice. It doesn't matter. I won't go to sea before the New Year. I have to take a break for the New Year. I'm free."
"It's about the same. The weather may not be good in the future. It's almost the Chinese New Year and I'm busy. When I come back from the New Year, I still have to wash the house and go to the market to prepare New Year's goods."
"We don't need to wash our house, right? We just moved in not long ago."
"Well, our house doesn't need to be washed. Just wipe the glass and tidy up the things. The old house will definitely need to be washed. Come over and help when the time comes."
"I don't need you, just take care of the kids."
In the dark night, Lin Xiuqing turned her head and looked at his profile, her mouth raised. He had really changed a lot in the past six months.
"A Dong..."
"Um?"
Lin Xiuqing turned her body sideways, put one foot on his waist, stretched out her arms to hug his waist, and rubbed her head against his shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing!"
"It's not like you're so proactive? Have you thought about it?"
"No……"
He turned his body sideways and straightened her down, "Stop pressing your belly, I'll do it..."
"Go to sleep, it's midnight..."
Ye Yaodong was just teasing her with his mean words.
He put one hand into the hem of her clothes, lingering on her body, and then caressed her slightly swollen belly, "How many months have it been?"
"You have the nerve to ask how you became a father when you didn't know for months."
"Don't you women know this kind of thing well? Who else is counting the months all day long? Isn't it okay if I know it's my own seed?"
Lin Xiuqing pinched the soft flesh on his waist, "Whose can it be if it's not yours?"
"Hiss~ Aren't you being so arrogant... I even said I knew it was my own seed, and yet you still pinch me..."
"Then tell me how old my belly is?"
"How can I guess this?"
His wife was so spoiled by him that she actually asked him a question, but he didn't bother to remember it.
After thinking about it in my mind, it seemed that I was conceived in August according to the Gregorian calendar, so it should be now, "5 months?"
"A little over 5 months."
"That's right, it's mine! Hiss~ It's mine~ That's right~ Hiss~ Let it go~ Let it go~"
It felt like the flesh had rotated 90 degrees, and there were definitely two bruises on my waist. I was so spoiled by him that I pinched him out of habit.
Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily and kicked him, "Sleep! Go to bed, don't be next to me!"
"Hey...how can I say that I fell out with you...".
