Chapter 705 Staying on the Island Again
I stayed at home comfortably for two days. I thought I would go out to sea soon after the weather cleared up. Unexpectedly, it was only sunny for one day, but it started to rain lightly at night, and it continued to rain for more than ten days at a time.
Ye Yaodong sat at the door, lying on the rocking chair, looking at the rain curtain at the door and feeling a little comfortable. It would be better if there were a few small tea tables with some tea and snacks on them.
The old lady also came out with sewing pants and sat at the door.
He quickly stood up and let her lie down on her. The rocking chair originally belonged to her, but occasionally the old lady didn't lie down, so he occupied the magpie's nest.
"You lie down, you lie down, I need to sew my pants."
"I went back to the house to lie down and take care of the kids. It's really uncomfortable with the rain."
Lin Xiuqing was standing by the stove, collecting the clothes that were being baked on the pot lid. "Who says it's not true? I can't even get out of the door. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and drink at home. Even the clothes are not dry. They have to put them on the pot lid every day. Toast it."
"Cool, cool, rake, rake, rake," Ye Xiaoxi stood at the door of the room, holding on to the wall, shouting with unclear words in his mouth, showing two millet teeth, looking very cute.
Lin Xiuqing turned around and smiled slightly, "Go inside the house and take out the diapers for me to bake. Take a look at the child by the way. He may leave after his first birthday. If you don't see him for a while, he will walk around the house holding on to the wall."
Ye Yaodong also walked over and picked up the little man with a smile on his face, "Did you just wake up and crawl out of bed to call someone?"
"Rake, rake, rake~"
Ye Xiaoxi shouted while using her chubby little hands to greet Ye Yaodong's face. After patting him several times, she moved forward and covered his face with saliva.
Ye Yaodong's heart almost melted. He couldn't get enough kisses no matter how hard he was. He even forgot about his wife's instructions to get diapers. He just lay on the bed and played with the child. When Lin Xiuqing came in after collecting his clothes, he was nagging and complaining.
"I don't know when it will clear up. The diaper is not dry enough. I put it on her. Her buttocks are red and she has a large area of eczema."
"I told you to make more diapers, but you didn't listen. I'll make more diapers tomorrow."
"Why do you do so much? It's already one year old, and the weather is getting hot soon. When it gets hotter, you won't need to wrap it up anymore, and you can stop right away."
Lin Xiuqing didn't expect him to do any more work. While folding clothes, she said, "There will be an opera the day after tomorrow. Will the opera troupe come tomorrow night?"
"Come early in the morning the day after tomorrow, then set up the stage in the morning, sing from 1:30 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and sing from 7 to 9:30 in the evening, for five consecutive days."
"Then should we get stools and reserve seats in advance? If it rains again the day after tomorrow, it will be really uncomfortable. It's not far away, but you have to get wet when you walk there. Well, it has rained for so many days. , it’s really annoying.”
"It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married. What can I do? I'll take the stool over tomorrow night in advance. I hope it won't rain tomorrow."
I don’t know if it has rained enough for so many days. A few hours after the couple finished talking, they woke up from a nap and found that the rain had stopped and a rainbow appeared.
Ye Chengyang stood at the door and jumped up and down, shouting excitedly, "There is a rainbow, it's so beautiful~"
"Finally the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up."
There was also movement from the next door, "This hole that God had leaked has finally been patched up."
"No, the clothes can finally be taken out to dry, and they are almost moldy."
"People are getting moldy, let alone clothes. Fortunately, there is no leakage in the house now, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable."
Lin Xiuqing also thought of the old house and turned to ask Ye Yaodong, "It has cleared up. Do you want to go to the old house and have a look? It has rained for so many days and it has not gone there. I don't know what the leaks are like in the old house."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I'll ride my bike over and take a look."
The roof tiles of the old house happened to be repaired some time ago. This time it only rained lightly. Even though it lasted a little longer, there was not much water leakage. However, it was so damp that the door panel was almost rotten and several mushrooms grew. .
When Ye Yaodong passed by, Ye's father was rummaging around on the door panel, measuring the door panel with his palms, and muttering, "It's useless. It's time to replace the old man who has been there for decades." "
"This broken door can fall to the ground with just one kick. It should have been replaced a long time ago. Let's install a new door panel in the next two days while the weather clears."
Father Ye glanced at him, "What you said is very simple. Replacing the door depends on the day. If it's said to be demolished, it will be demolished, and if it's said to be replaced, it will be replaced. See if you are free in the past two days. If not, just ask a carpenter to make one. , and will be installed when the time comes."
"Let's ask a carpenter to do it. Why waste this time? People who make wood are much more professional than you. It takes you five days to make one, while others can take two days at most. And the weather has cleared up after the rain, so we can probably go to sea again. .”
"Well, what are you doing here?"
"Look at you, what else can you do? Why can't you come here if you haven't done anything?"
Father Ye muttered in his heart: He is quite filial.
"We have nothing to do, you can go and do whatever you need to do."
"Speaking of which, Dad, are you really not considering moving to our place?"
"Why do you want to move there? Don't want this nice house? Do you have too much money, or do I have too much money? Go ahead, your mother and I can live well here."
Ye Yaodong shrugged and refused to move.
Seeing that nothing happened to them and the old house wasn't leaking badly, he got on his bicycle and went back.
It was sunny after the rain, and it was really clear. Not long after the rainbow appeared, the sunset actually appeared in the evening.
Now that it has cleared up, Ye Yaodong and Ye's father went to sea as usual at night.
I didn't get the bait in advance, so I just trawled the net today.
They haven't gone to sea for more than ten days, but the father and son are not that anxious. They have accumulated some money in their hands. With money in their hands, nothing will panic.
The fishing net was slowly lowered into the sea, opening its mouth like a hungry dragon and sinking to the bottom of the sea. The fishing boat also moved forward at a constant speed and started a new day's work.
Ye Yaodong looked up at the sky filled with stars and the curved moon shining brightly. He predicted in his heart that it would be good weather after dawn and it should not rain again.
This time, the sky is beautiful, which will make Mazu's birthday more successful and lively.
The fishing boats are operating at a constant speed on the sea, and from time to time you can see faint lights moving in the distance. These are also fishing boats that are also operating on the sea.
At this time, a fishing boat passing rapidly attracted his attention.
Because when he was working, he had been intentionally controlling the fishing boat not far from Oarfish Island.
He did not forget the Luzhou Island fishing boat that had been docked at Oarfish Island some time ago. He wanted to see if they would show up today?
It rained for a long time this time, and they probably didn't come out after so many days.
I don’t know why they went to this island for several days in a row?
The fishing boat that had just passed by quickly was heading towards Oarfish Island, which forced him to pay attention. He also slightly changed the direction of the fishing boat, moving closer to the island and wandering around.
From a distance, I actually saw a faint light staying on the reef shore, swaying slightly with the waves.
It was too dark to see the figures clearly, and only two fainter lights could be seen swaying away from the island.
Father Ye also noticed, "It's the boat from Luzhou Island again? Is it going to the island with a flashlight?"
"Probably, the past few times we have released longlines in other places first. When we came here to collect the shrimp pots after releasing, we only saw the boats parked on the shore. This is the first time we saw them sailing. Go straight to that island.”
"Is this a treasure?"
"Who knows, if there is a treasure, there shouldn't be only one boat and two flashlights, right?"
"Forget it, don't worry about them. Trawl carefully and don't keep staring at them, lest you hit a rock later. The reef is nearby, so be careful."
"knew."
"Drive farther away and don't wander around here, lest people react and rob us. Stay away from them and be safer."
It didn't involve him, and Ye's father didn't care that much. He just thought it was strange. The top priority was of course to avoid them. He was responsible for his own trawling and why others were on the island.
However, it seems to be quite purposeful.
After just a while, I saw that the light of the flashlight continued to move upwards and was not swaying around the beach shore. Then this guess of Taohai can be eliminated.
Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
The fishing boat went straight to its destination, and after the people got off the boat, they went straight to the mountains. Didn't they really find anything?
"Dad, do you think there's anything on the island?"
"There are seabirds, seabird eggs, pheasants and hares, and wild strawberries must have grown recently..."
Ye Yaodong was filled with dark thoughts. His father was returning to him what he had said before.
When will he have this kind of humor?
"Do you think there will be anything valuable on the island?"
"What valuable things can be found on a desert island?"
"Otherwise, why would it be worth their while to go to the island for several days? There would be no work left?"
"I don't know. If you ask me, who should I ask? Keep asking. I'm not them. What's the point of asking me?"
"Isn't it true that there is strength in numbers? Let me think about it too. There must be a demon when something goes wrong. There must be something going on. I wonder if the people who have been on the island in the past few days are all the same group of people?"
"have no idea."
Ye Yaodong kept thinking about it, but Ye's father kept responding with the word "I don't know."
It wasn't until the fishing boat moved further and further away that he stopped worrying about it.
He couldn't see it, and it wasn't under his nose. He was about to close the net again, and he didn't have time to worry about it since he was so busy.
However, before returning in the evening, when I went to collect shrimp pots on the reef, I saw the boat up close again.
This must have not left since night until now!
Ye Yaodong was quite sure.
Seeing the fishing boat still floating there motionless, he thought for a while, "Let's take a closer look and then leave immediately?"
Father Ye frowned, "What if someone is on the boat and it happens to be sailing out..."
"Probably not. It will take time to start sailing."
"What are you doing? Didn't you get close to me a few days ago?"
"I didn't look carefully at that time. When I saw the sign on the fishing boat, I immediately turned around. Didn't I take a closer look at what was on the boat? Let's get closer later and take a look?"
Father Ye saw that he had already sailed the boat in that direction, and saw that he seemed to be very concerned about it, so he didn't say anything. He just told him to be careful, take a look, react quickly, and leave quickly.
Ye Yaodong also watched the boat docked on the shore, and then he boldly took a closer look.
It wasn't until he took another closer look that he gave up and quickly turned the boat around and left.
