Chapter 292 Going to Sea for the First Time After the New Year
Hearing the exclamation in his ears, Ye Yaodong also speeded up his planing movements, but he could not be outdone by his son.
He threw the clams he dug aside and piled them in the open space.
In the past few months, starfish were raging, and there were no clams on the beach for a long time. As the months passed, clams from the open sea were washed in again and buried under the sand.
Not long after, there was a small pile next to him, like a hill, and the digging was effortless.
At this moment, Ye Chengyang suddenly shouted, "Crab... the crab has run away... Dad... the crab has run away..."
Ye Yaodong turned around and saw that there were crabs crawling everywhere around him. There were two hanging on the edge of the bucket. Two large pliers were clamping each other. One was hanging in the air, and both fell down in an instant.
"Huh? Didn't you see that you escaped from prison in the blink of an eye?"
Maybe the buckets were just too full, and they were stacked one above the other and escaped.
He just went out to pick up some seafood. The bucket he brought was not as big as the ones he used to bring when he went out to sea. It was just a red plastic bucket that is common at home.
He caught all the crabs crawling on the ground and put them back into the bucket, and also put all the clams he dug in. The bucket was full, already eighty percent full.
I just went out for a walk and found a bucket, which was pretty good.
Seeing the crabs in the bucket starting to stack high again, he shouted to the two cubs: "Let's go, stop digging, go home."
"You came out so soon. Let's play a little longer, Dad. I haven't dug much yet."
"It's a full bucket. If you don't take it back and put it in the pot, the crabs will run away again and you won't have anything to eat for lunch. Hurry up, I asked you to dig before, but you didn't dig. Now you are more energetic..."
Ye Chenghu dug two more without giving up, and then Ye Yaodong picked them up, "Wait a minute...my quacks (sand clams)..."
Local children verbally call the sand clam "Gaga"...
After putting the few he dug into the bucket, he reluctantly followed behind him.
"Going back so soon...Dad, when are we going to dig for quacks again?"
"Next time."
"When is the next time?"
"See if I'm free and in the mood?"
Ye Chenghu muttered in a low voice: "Then I will come secretly..."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about him and just urged them to go faster.
Although adults don't let children go to the beach, they can't live there because the sea is right at their doorstep. Especially in summer, there are no children who don't play in the water. Nowadays, children are just free-range.
As soon as I walked to the shore, I saw his mother in the open space next to her from a distance, chatting enthusiastically with others, smiling so hard that she didn't know what to be happy about.
He called her directly, half of the bucket full of seafood was crab, and he couldn't finish it, so he asked her to take some back.
Mother Ye looked at the bucket that was almost full of crabs and said in surprise: "Are there so many crabs on the beach today?"
"There are other miscellaneous things down there."
"It's convenient to live here. You can go to the beach when the tide is low. Look, it's not just the first or fifteenth day of junior high school where you can just pick up a bucket full. You have to go earlier to get it." The one who spoke was his new friend. Neighbor's mother.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "I have nothing to do. The tide has gone down, so I took the two children down for a walk. They are all worthless. Would you like Aunt Lan to take some back?"...
"No, every day when I come back from the sea, there are piles of shrimps and crabs that I don't even have time to peel. It's such a hassle to eat. How can I have the free time..."
If he didn't want it, he went to the back door, entered the house through the back door to get a washbasin, and brought a few for his eldest and second brother's house. His mother didn't want them either. His father and his second brother went to sea, and she and the old lady were the only ones at home.
Lin Xiuqing heard the commotion at home and knew that he was back. She took a peek and came out of the room with confidence after confirming.
When Mother Ye saw her, she reached out to touch her belly and whispered, "Can't you tell?"
"It's just wrapped in a cotton jacket. It's okay if you don't look carefully."
"Then just don't go out. Dongzi should go to sea or go to sea. There are still two months. You can't just stay at home and play. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are good, so you can go..." Ye Mu thought to herself.
Ye Yaodong responded casually and picked out the blue crabs separately, leaving them to be stewed for the two of them in the evening. He also picked out the sea urchins, fish, and clams. He rinsed the other items with water and steamed them in a pot later to save trouble.
"Either you don't want to cook for lunch. Just eat here. Bring the old lady down with you. What are you cooking for two people? It's a waste of firewood."
"Okay, then I'll cook. Ah Qing can go back to the house. There are people coming and going at the door..."
"I've already cooked the rice. I plan to fry the rice bowl for lunch. The meat and vegetables are all cut..."
"Then I'll fry..."
It is a local custom to eat mustard rice (vegetable rice) on the third day of March. It is not the time yet, but the mustard rice they grew at home has grown very big, so they can cut down one in advance to stir-fry the mustard rice.
This is also very popular, and the whole family likes it very much. The two children ate a full bowl of vegetable rice with sea urchin and steamed egg, and they were clamoring to eat it again at night.
In the evening, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to go to the vegetable field next to him to chop a tree. However, when he entered the house, he saw his elder brother coming back, followed by Ye Chenghai, who had slumped shoulders and was hopeless.
He raised his eyebrows, "Young? You've done a big job and made a lot of money and come back? Did you buy anything to honor your third uncle?"
Ye Chenghai had a mournful face and a smile that was uglier than crying, "Uncle Third, please stop laughing at me..."
"Didn't you say that you can do great things without studying?"
"I was wrong, I almost crawled back..." He saw the armchair at the door and sat down directly on it, his limbs hanging down naturally.
"How much money did you make today?"
"1 yuan..."
"Yes, if we go tomorrow, we will earn 30 yuan for one month, 365 yuan for one year, and 3,650 yuan for ten years. If we work for a lifetime, we can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. That's awesome. You can work a few more years than others..."
When Ye Chenghai heard that he had worked a few more years than others, his face turned pale and he almost slid to the ground, "Ah!! No, no, no... I love reading..."
Ye Yaodong almost died laughing, pretending to be surprised: "What's wrong, making money is not good."
"I almost died... My dad even told me to finish... My dear dad... Wuwuwu... I even walked a long way back... I love reading and I want to go to school. …”
Other people playing in the room also came out and asked, "Did Brother Ahai earn a lot of money?"
"Is Ahaige Pier fun?"
"Big brother is so awesome, he can make as much money as dad..."….
"Brother, do you want to treat us to a treat and buy us something to eat..."
Ye Chenghai wanted to cry but had no tears, "Get out of here!"
Ye Yaodong patted his head and said, "Studying is the most comfortable thing. Cherish it, young man. Your third aunt will cook rice bowl for you in the evening and I will fill a bowl for you later."
"Thank you, uncle." He said weakly.
After Ye Yaopeng was free to go to sea at night, he no longer needed Ye's father's help.
After Ye Yaodong thought about it for a while, he went to tell his father and asked him to prepare. They would go to sea at night and ask his mother to go to his place to watch more during the day.
I originally wanted to stay at home for two months, but now I can't bear the urge. Besides, staying at home and not going out to sea makes it easy for people to ask questions.
You can also trawl without preparing bait in advance.
While sleeping at night, Ye Yaodong kept stroking her belly and confessed uneasily.
He didn't know if he was thinking about it during the day and dreaming at night. He actually had a dream at night. He dreamed that in his previous life, Lin Xiuqing was carried back after a tire slide, with a pale face. When he woke up, he sat up directly, which made him heartbroken just thinking about it.
"Is it time?" Lin Xiuqing was also awakened by the movement beside her.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was exactly 2 o'clock. "Well, you can go to bed."
It's just a dream. If you don't go to the mountains in this life, you should be fine.
He had already made an agreement with his father, and he couldn't just dream about it and not go.
Before he went to bed, he moved the fishing nets and tools to the cart. He only needed to bring some food and water.
Ye Yaodong also paid great attention to going to sea on the first day of the new year. On the way to the pier, he would pass by the Mazu Temple first. He deliberately stopped and went to light three sticks of incense.
Some people who are more superstitious will light three sticks of incense every time they go out to sea, and then burn three sticks of incense when they come back.
After arriving on the boat, Ye's father also took out yellow paper, lit it, and circled it three times on his head, three times on each of his left and right hands, and muttered something in his mouth, which was a prayer.
[To be honest, I have been using a recently to read books, catch up on updates, switch, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Ye Yaodong himself is okay, young people are less particular about things, and old people are particularly superstitious.
After finishing the ritual, he went to sail the boat, and Father Ye also went to sort out the fishing nets.
The fishing boats at the pier are also sailing out one after another.
The sea breeze in early spring was still biting and cold, but fortunately he had experience and did not take it lightly. He wore a sewing hat and scarf, and also wore a mask sewn by Ah Qing himself to block the wind. This made Father Ye look at him a few more times.
He touched his pocket and took one for his father, "Try it. It's good for blocking the wind. It won't hurt your face from the wind."
Father Ye nodded.
Going out to sea for the first time in the new year, he planned to go to the sea area where he went most often, but when he arrived, he found that there were already fishing boats operating there. He had to temporarily change the direction, move a little to the side, and ask his father Prepare to release the net.
While trawling, avoid it to avoid unnecessary trouble, and you are also worried about the lack of goods.
Unexpectedly, when the fishing boat was operating, he unknowingly sailed the boat to the isolated island where the oarfish lived.
He shone the flashlight back and forth uncertainly before confirming that it was the isolated island. Moreover, when he shone the light, he also found that the reef where he had sunk before actually had a little sharp head popping up, which was only about one meter. .
Undersea reefs are hard to guard against, especially at night, when everything is pitch black. Fortunately, we discovered them in advance, otherwise we might have crashed into them later and it would have been doomed.
"Dongzi, there is a reef over there..."
"I saw it. It was the reef where abalones landed en masse before. I didn't expect that the sunken reef would pop up again in a short time. I will drive over to take a look later when the net is collected."
Otherwise, the fishing net will be easily caught and damaged by the reef.
"Is it the abalone reef? Is it rising again?" Father Ye's heart suddenly became hot.
"Yes, let's go there later and trawl the area first."
It was dark and I couldn't see clearly. .
