Chapter 537 Are You Relying on A Guang?

The couple stayed on the island until two o'clock in the afternoon. It was not until the tide slowly began to rise that they stopped. Four large bags of various shells were piled on the beach next to them.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the barnacle shells on the reef wall with unfinished content, "I can't finish digging them every day."

"Well, they are all things that no one wants. Who has time to waste time digging here every day? Only the big conches and oysters can be sold for some money, but the others can't be sold. So I specially set out for a trip. , It’s not worth it. I come here occasionally to tidy up and go back, and it’s okay to use it as a dish with rice.”

"Then I'm going back. I've been out for so long, and I don't know how the children at home are doing. I don't know if my daughter will come to me crying."

Thinking about it, she felt very sorry. She had been thinking about her children all day long. But even though they were here, she couldn't just go back empty-handed, or go back without loading anything in the middle of the job. It would cost money to go back and forth. of.

"Well, you go up, and I'll carry these and walk through the water."

"Let me help you..."

"No, some of the rocks are uneven and some are slippery. It's up to you to leave first and get on the boat first. It's just a few sacks that are heavier. I can carry them a few times and leave those buckets for me." .”

"Can you do it alone? Is it too heavy?"

"It won't be okay. You didn't pack it full. I'll just carry it back and forth a few times and it'll be fine."

"Then I'll watch here first."

"You go to the boat first, and you can help me pick up the goods later."

"Okay, then I'll walk over now."

Ye Yaodong said a few words to her before she got on the boat first.

Looking at the sacks next to him, he frowned and gritted his teeth, and touched his shoulder. He already felt pain before he even lifted it, and it started to hurt after a while.

These shelled ones were heavy and prickly. When they were all loaded onto the boat, his shoulders were all red.

After thinking about it, he decided to go with the lighter ones first. He would carry a few barrels on board first, and then he would carry the four sacks.

Lin Xiuqing watched him struggling to carry the bags onto the boat, thinking that if he had known better, he would not have dug so much. The couple was so tired from digging and carrying so hard, and they had to share some with the neighbors when they went back. She felt heartbroken. Her man.

"It's too heavy. It's really hard to move. If I had known, I would have asked dad to come with me. Are your shoulders red? Let me take a look."

"It's okay. It'll be fine once it's moved up. We'll look at it when we get back. You sit down and rest for a while, and I'll go sail the boat."

"good."

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders as he sailed the boat. After returning to the shore, he had to carry the cart again.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people on the shore, so I asked a few uncles I knew to help me and just lift it up. Everyone was happy to lend a hand.

"You two went out to sea this morning to dig up these shells on the island, right? These are worthless, and it's a lot of trouble to get them back all the time. If you want to eat them, just dig them up, they're available at any time."

"Yes, it's very heavy. When you dig out the meat, there's only a little bit of it. It takes a lot of effort to dig it out. My wife only hunts some oysters when she has free time. She's really too lazy to dig out other things. .”

"Who says it's not? Just let the women at home do it, why don't you go with me? With this skill, you can earn a lot from any job."

Ye Yaodong explained: "We just want to save trouble and convenience. My family is very busy now, and we don't have time to dig on the surrounding stone walls every three days. There is no goods at sea these two days, so I am idle. , I just went out for a while and came back."

"Young...there are a lot of fish in this bucket!"

"Are these all picked up? Hey, there are so many dog ​​sharks?"

"Is it received in a ground cage? There is also a basket of fish, shrimps and crabs there. These dog sharks can live for more than ten hours without water, so they are all still alive."

"Your harvest in the ground cage today was quite good, but you actually collected so many dog ​​sharks?"

"Huh? There's another grouper here, a tiger spot?"

"Fuck, there's a sesame spot in this bucket..."

"What a blessing!"

"Damn, today's harvest is great! You don't seem to have many cages, right? There are so many good things, it must have exploded several nets."

When Ye Yaodong came back, he collected a few ground cages. Unexpectedly, these people mistook the fish in his bucket for the goods of the ground cages. It was a perfect misunderstanding, and he did not explain it.

"It's not bad! Today's harvest is not bad. I haven't been to sea for many days, and I was almost hit by the northwest wind. I have these goods today, at least it can support me for a while."

"You are exaggerating when you say this. Whoever drinks from the northwest wind will not have your turn to drink from the northwest wind."

“You’ve made so much money and you still say things like this.”

"Hey, didn't I just buy a shop in the city some time ago? I have to pay the money soon. How much is left after the money is paid? The whole family is counting on me to make money. Winter has come recently, and the harvest It’s really bad, and it’s windy every day.”

"You just have to rely on the weather. If you go out to sea, you'll freeze to death. If it gets colder, if you catch a cold, you might be able to earn some money to buy medicine."

"This is unlucky..."

When Ye Yaodong saw that everything was loaded onto the cart, he asked Ah Qing to watch. He weighed and sold all the goods that could be sold for money.

When Ah Cai saw his harvest, he also teased him, "You have the most goods from the underground cage nets and Korean nets that came back today. The remaining trawl nets haven't come back yet, so I guess there aren't many goods."

"It's just a matter of fact."

"I'm being humble when I say this. When the store in the city needs to pay, let's go together? We all have a companion, and we are going to the same place anyway."

"Okay, no problem."

Ye Yaodong chatted for a while. After the goods were sold out and the order was in hand, he turned around and showed it to Ah Qing and asked her to keep it. He directly held the two handles of the cart and prepared to push it.

But at this moment, he saw A Guang coming out again, but there was a mouse behind him?

Follow A Guang again?

They also saw him and walked directly towards him.

"Dongzi, did you go to sea today?"

"Just take your sister-in-law out to dig some shells. Take advantage of the good weather in the past two days to get some and dig them out to dry in the sun. This way you won't have to worry about the cold and windy weather, and the stock will not be out of stock. Why did you come out to receive the goods so early? Mouse There too!"

"I thought the wind was about to pick up and I didn't know what time I would be back. So I went out early to avoid being too late. The ship has already docked."

Mouse also said: "Haha, I haven't worked in the past two days, so I went to Aguang's place to visit. He happened to come out to receive the goods, so I followed him out to help."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched when he heard this.

I thought I would rely on him, but I didn't expect to choose A Guang. Did I think A Guang's family was richer than his, or something?

Are you still going to A Guang's house frequently these past two days?

It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

He glanced at A Guang, only to see that A Guang's face was full of helplessness, but he was also helpless.

"After I go back and divide all the goods inside, I will ask my mother to send some to you."

"I'll pick it up from you after I finish collecting the goods later. There's no need for my mother to make a trip. Anyway, besides holding the baby, I have nothing to do at home."

"That's fine. You can take care of it. Did the mouse bring anything he can carry? I'll also put a basket back for you."

The mouse quickly smiled and said: "No, no, I will go home later to get the basket and then go to your place to put some more in it."

"Yeah, that's fine. Then you can figure it out on your own. Take your time to receive the goods. I'll go back first."

He pushed the cart and said hello to them before taking the first step.

Lin Xiuqing just smiled and said hello to Aguang, asked a few questions about Huimei and the children, and then walked away.

After there was no one behind her, Lin Xiuqing said, "Isn't your friend named Mouse going to Aguang Na every day these days?"

"It's hard to say. It may be that Aguang's family has two boats. His father has made a lot of money and the conditions are definitely better than ours. Moreover, he also wants to be the boss of Aguang's other boat. Zhan Zhanguang, so I may be a little more diligent in visiting."

"Hey, we are all good friends. If there is no conflict, maybe he will also buy a boat. He won't have to work so hard."

"Every family has problems that are difficult to recite. His wife's mother-in-law is not very good at it. No matter how much help others give her, she can't fill the bottomless hole. You have to deal with it yourself first. I don't know if I reminded him the day before yesterday. How will it be after returning?"

"What happened to his wife's family?"

Seeing that she was a little confused, Ye Yaodong explained to her what happened to them yesterday.

"Well, I don't know if Aguang has agreed to let him drive the boat for a few months."

"You should have agreed, right? Otherwise, why would you have gone to his house again today? I'll find out when A Guang comes over later."
