Chapter 444: Just Like Dumplings
"Is it because of this fish?"
Father Ye came out late before and had no idea why they were drawn into the sea. He was so anxious that he didn't even bother to ask why.
After the three brothers looked at each other, they all felt guilty and no one dared to speak.
Others also felt ashamed to say it.
"What do you want me to ask you? Dongzi said."
Anyway, a scolding is inevitable, just say it.
Ye Yaodong directly told them what happened when they saw the big bass just now and they all joined in on it.
Suddenly, there was a loud curse, and spittle flew directly into the faces of the three brothers. All three of them reached out and wiped their faces in unison, but no one dared to say a word. They all stood there and received the scolding. .
This scolding is not unjust, it deserves it!
Even Ye Yaodong didn't quibble, saying it was none of his business, nor did he say any nonsense, and stood willingly to be scolded.
His father is already angry enough. There is no need to provoke him at this time. It is appropriate to let him vent his emotions.
Father Ye didn't even take a breath. He pointed at the three brothers and scolded them. He wanted to hang them up and beat them until they couldn't get out of bed.
After he finished scolding, he panted and continued: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a lot. You should listen to the old lady and ask you to tie the rope too, so that you won't get carried away and ignore the big fish when you see it. I ran up there regardless and was swept away by the waves. I was really afraid of what might happen."
Ye's father was reluctant at the time and felt that the old lady had too many things to do. What kind of rope should be tied properly? I didn't want to listen to her at first, but I just wanted to give her peace of mind before I did it.
Ye Yaodong also touched the rope around his waist, and felt that it was better to tie it up, just in case. Sometimes, if his brain gets hot, he would just take a chance.
But he also casually asked his eldest and second brothers to tie it up, but they didn't listen.
It was not suitable to talk in the wind and rain. When Ye Yaodong saw other people helping his brother home, he interrupted his father, "Stop scolding, let the eldest brother go in and rest for a while."
"Go in, go in..." Father Ye also felt sorry for his son and asked him to go back quickly.
After sending Ye Yaopeng in, Ye Yaodong untied the joint in the middle of the rope as he walked, split the rope in two, and continued to tie his own section to the courtyard door panel.
There are a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs scattered at the door. It would be a pity not to pick them up. If the tide rises again soon, they will return to the sea. Anyway, he is tied with a rope...
Ye Yaohua was reluctant to go in, so he followed them to the entrance of the courtyard and picked up several fish.
Father Ye looked at the two brothers and wanted to scold them and tell them to stop picking them up, but looking at the fish all over the floor, he was a little reluctant to enter the house.
The main thing is that when you enter the house, you will definitely be thinking about it all the time, scratching your head and thinking about what a pity it would be not to pick it up.
Seeing someone coming out from a few houses nearby with a flashlight, he also said cruelly: "Tie the rope up, and don't come forward if you are far away."
"Okay, after a day of training, I will definitely remember it better."
Ye Yaohua also nodded. This time, he will definitely not be greedy.
After Ye Yaodong tied the rope, he went to pick up the bucket placed on the roadside in front of him.
The bucket had been overturned, and there was no doubt that all the small fish inside had been washed away. However, the goldeneye snapper was still there. It was good that the fish was still there. Originally, he didn't pick up many things when he came out.
Fortunately, he was one step ahead and took the 70-80% full large white pomfret into the yard and dumped it in advance, otherwise the loss would have been huge.
This time, the neighbors all learned their lesson and imitated them in tying a rope around their waist just in case. They were really overjoyed just now, but they were unwilling to enter the house with nothing to gain.
While picking it up, Ye Yaodong asked his father what happened to the people inside after the fishing net had been pulled twice just now.
His attention had been on his family just now, and he couldn't focus on other people. When he looked at the others, they had already helped him away.
It turned out that the two people caught in the fishing net had already choked several times when they were dragged up. After all, they couldn't move or balance their bodies in the fishing net, and they were even more panicked. .z.br>
The one at the back had already choked on water and passed out when they pulled him up. He only woke up on the spot thanks to the timely first aid.
"Fortunately, luck is great and destiny is great. Life should not be cut off."
Father Ye couldn't help but curse again, "Isn't it because you want money rather than your life, you almost can't come back, do you think it's fun during a typhoon? The waves hit higher than the houses in the city, but you dare to move forward boldly , all of them are filled with straw or shit..."
This time, Ye Yaodong retorted, "Don't scold me, it's none of my business. I'm an honest man. If my second brother is there, you go scold him."
"Everyone is worried..."
Ye Yaodong moved to the side so that he would not be next to his father so that he could listen to his scolding.
This time, everyone learned their lesson and no longer dared to be greedy. They only picked up the goods within their own range. This time they were safe.
It’s just that the typhoon keeps roaring and the wind gets stronger and stronger. People can’t open their eyes and can only turn their backs to the direction of the wind. The heavy rain pours down like a waterfall. The typhoon blows the rain, crackling like dense bullets. The rain curtain in front of me is getting thicker and thicker.
The stronger the wind, the higher the waves, the more fish, shrimps and crabs that hit the shore, and many deep-sea fish were also swept up.
There was another crackling sound on the body, and another pot of dumplings fell in front of me.
After falling on the ground, Ye Yaodong took a closer look and saw that there were golden thread fish, horsetail, and pipa shrimp. After being happy for a while, he hurriedly picked them up again.
He kept lowering his head to pick up fish. There were all kinds of fish, big and small, and he was a little numb from picking them up.
The others also looked at the sea from time to time nervously and anxiously at the beginning, then became excited after picking it up, and then became a little numb later on.
The winds of the typhoon were gradually increasing, the howling rain was getting louder and louder, and the overwhelming sound of the waves was echoing in my ears. When it became difficult to move, Father Ye decisively told his two sons to stop.
"Stop picking it up. It's over here. The wind is too strong."
The wind was so loud that the words he shouted were muffled, but luckily he heard them all.
Ye Yaodong and Ye Yaohua are not greedy either. They have to use their bodies to block the bucket now, otherwise it will be blown over by the wind when it is full.
The three of them decisively carried the bucket and moved back to the house with difficulty.
They didn't know how long they had been picking. Ye Yaodong only saw that the basket piled in the corner of his door was already filled with 7 large baskets, some of which he had picked and some of which his father had picked.
The ones they pick up are all fish, or valuable ones, like clams. They don't care about picking them up. It just wastes time. They can just pick them up after the storm has passed.
After pouring the contents of the bucket into the bamboo basket, the father and son worked together to carry the fish in the basket into the house one by one.
The children all cheered as if they were generals returning victoriously.
"Ah! There are so many fish~Dad, you are so awesome~"
"Dad~ It's great~"
"There are so many, uncle, you have picked up so many."
The three boys were surrounding the bamboo basket with bright eyes. They were lying on the window in front of them and were already itching to look at it. They wished they could rush out to pick it up, but unfortunately they were watched closely by the adults in the room.
Not to mention the child's itching, Mother Ye watched from the window as they brought in and dumped buckets one by one. She wanted to go out and pick them up, but she felt like a cat scratching her head.
However, the old lady kept grabbing her and stopping her, just saying that there was a man outside.
Ye Mu was also very excited at this time, "We picked up so many. We just saw that the typhoon blew all the fish into the yard. It was like fish falling from the sky. Several fish fell."
"How many? Outside the door, the fish is like dumplings, falling from time to time, but there is a rope tied around the waist, so you can't pick up the ones farther away."
"It's good to tie them up, otherwise they will be swept away by the waves." Father Ye couldn't help but said.
"Ah? What was swept away by the waves?"
After sending Ye Yaopeng home just now, none of them entered the house, and no one in the house knew that Ye Yaopeng was almost swept away.
Only then did Father Ye talk about the danger just now.
This time, Mother Ye was so frightened that she slapped Father Ye hard several times, "Are you a hard worker? You knew that there was a rope tied around your waist, but you didn't know to ask your two sons to tie it too? What if something happened to me? I’m not done with you…”
Ye's father's arms and back were slapped by Ye's mother. He straightened his shoulders and did not dodge. "Okay, okay, this is not a rescue. It's okay. I was almost scared to death just now."
"Then you don't know how to come in and say something."
"This is not a dumpling falling from the sky... ah... it's a fish falling from the sky. I quickly tied it up with a rope and picked it up. I came in to tell you. It's no use to worry you."
The old lady also grabbed Ye Yaodong's arm, touched it here and there, raised her head and said with concern: "Ah, are you okay? How is your elder brother? Hey, young Amitabha... Amitabha... That's what you young people are like, what I'm telling you Do not listen……"
"I listened! You are wise, so I will listen to you and do as you say. Nothing will happen to me. Isn't it safe to pick up so many fish?"
"This is Mazu's blessing. You can't take any more risks or go out again..."
Mother Ye also spoke: "Just tell me why you just shined the flashlight so far away, and why those people next to you came in and out all of a sudden."
The old lady touched his back a few times and said, "As long as it's okay, it's okay. Don't go out again. The wind is getting stronger and stronger outside. If you go out again, you'll be blown away by the typhoon. The waves are too big. It's too big." Is it dangerous?”
Lin Xiuqing listened to them and said with heart, "Don't take any more risks. You are already wet. Go and take a hot bath. Don't catch a cold. Dad, go and take a bath. You should be tired after working for so long." It’s broken, the hot water is boiling there, I’ll make some brown sugar ginger water for you.”
"I'm already in, so I won't go out. I'm exhausted. What time is it?"
"It's past eight o'clock."
Father Ye pointed to these baskets of fish and said, "You sort these fish and sell them tomorrow after the typhoon passes."
"This typhoon is not small. After the typhoon passes tomorrow, we should be able to pick up more." Ye Mu said expectantly.
"Well, let's see how high the tide rises and whether we bring it back to the sea."
The old lady urged, "Okay, stop talking and go take a shower."
