Chapter 799 Preparing to Give Gifts

After taking back all the dried fish, everyone was half exhausted and sat on the steps.

I was afraid that the rain would get heavier, and I wished I had four hands just now, so I hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly, but after finishing the harvest, I didn't see the rain getting heavier, and it was still ticking softly.

Ye Yaodong lifted up the hem of his vest, wiped it on his head, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Fortunately, it didn't rain heavily, and it stopped in time."

"It's probably not raining heavily, right? It stopped for a while just now, and then it started raining again within five minutes."

"Ignore him, they have all been taken in anyway. We will tidy them up later. If there are some that are completely dry, we will put them away first. We will put them in sacks and stack them. When the weather gets better, we will pour them out to dry in the sun. one time.

"Fortunately, there isn't much sunlight at night, so the wet ones are spread on the bamboo bed. The ones that are dried on the fishing nets are brought into the house with bamboo poles, and the fishing nets are tied piece by piece to dry."

Now the night was enough for them to work, and they didn't have to go to sea. It was raining anyway, so they just took the opportunity to rest.

After working hard for half a month, the others were probably exhausted.

"I'm sorry, brother, brother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law. I woke you up in the middle of the night to help."

"It's okay. It's raining now. It must be important to collect the dried fish. You can sleep at any time." Sister-in-law Ye said nonchalantly.

"Now that we are done with our work, you should go back to bed early. My aunt and uncle should also go home and sleep. It has rained and the dried fish has been collected. There is no need to look at it."

"Do you want me to help you sort out your house of dried fish? If you guys pile them up there, you'll have a hard time working all night."

"It's okay, let's do it slowly."

Ye Yaodong also said: "Tell your eldest cousin that you don't have to go to sea at night, so that he doesn't have to get up. It's raining anyway, so let's take a chance to rest. He hasn't had any rest in the past half month."

"Hey, okay, let's go back first. Either leave those fish *** and wait until we come over to sort them out early tomorrow morning. Or maybe it will clear up tomorrow morning, so there is no need to sort them out and they can be pulled out directly. Come out and continue to bask in the sun."

"That's true. Let's just leave it and tidy it up tomorrow. It won't be bad if we leave it overnight." Ye Yaodong also held on to the hope that it would clear up tomorrow. After all, it didn't really rain much at night.

After everyone sat at the door and said a few words, they dispersed. After all the fussing in the middle of the night, they were all a little tired, except for the couple who were still energetic, after all, it was their own product.

After the people left, the two of them took out the wet goods that had been killed that night and spread them out for ventilation, so as not to pile them up overnight so that they would become sour and smelly. The half-dried ones were fine.

Ye Yaodong kept frowning, "It's not easy to make any money. Fortunately, it's just light rain. If the thunderstorms in summer come down..."

"Just dry it in the sun and it'll be fine. A little rain will be fine. There's no need to take risks. Besides, we've already earned a lot. It's not much trouble to dry the fish. Just collect it when it rains."

"What if it keeps raining for ten days and a half?"

Lin Xiuqing said optimistically: "It usually gets cloudy before the rainy season, and isn't there a weather forecast now? There is a weather forecast after the news broadcast."

"Well, the weather at the beach is not accurate, and the broadcast is about the weather in the whole city. You should sort it out first. I will go to the old house and Brother Asheng's house to tell them not to come out. It's raining. Take a day off."

"Okay, then go back quickly and hold an umbrella. I'll get you a flashlight."

Ye Yaodong nodded, but he was thinking that he would have free time tomorrow, so he would go to the border defense station tomorrow to see if he could buy a TV set. If you buy it early, you will have peace of mind. This is the money...

Ahem, the head of the family only needs to make decisions as a family member!

What a big deal, just buying a TV!

The couple worked until midnight before returning to the house.

Ye Yaodong took off his clothes and said, "Nothing is that easy. I'm still struggling there most of the night."

"Originally, everything is always smooth sailing. We are pretty good and stable like this."

Originally, she wanted to say that she had never suffered any losses and that it was quite easy to make money, but she thought that she couldn't say such a thing, so she replaced it with something stable.

"That's right, I have always relied on the weather to make a living. Hard work doesn't make you rich faster than luck."

"Haha, you have to have that kind of luck. People who don't have that kind of luck can only rely on hard work. At least they can have enough to eat."

"Yes, I will offer incense to Mazu in two days and worship Mazu sincerely."

"You can either sign up to carry the sedan chair."

"also."

After Lin Xiuqing went to bed, she saw Ye Xiaoxi lying in the corner with her feet raised up to the headboard, her whole body tilted 90 degrees and still sleeping soundly. She couldn't help but shake her head, trying to straighten her sleep. posture.

"I don't know how I slept. How can I sleep like this? I slept so badly."

"Hey? Don't touch her. Let her sleep however she wants, as comfortable as she wants. She might be practicing in her sleep, so leave her alone."

"What kind of martial arts are you practicing? In your dream, you went to the Shaolin Temple?"

"Don't worry about her. She can't fall out of bed anyway. She can sleep wherever she wants. We can sleep on ours."

Ye Yaodong hugged his wife and lay down on her.

Lin Xiuqing was still worried, "This quilt doesn't cover me either..."

"Isn't the little blanket there? Just cover her belly. She can sleep as she likes and be as comfortable as she wants. If she wakes up, you still have to coax her."

He casually covered Ye Xiaoxi's belly with a small blanket, and then continued to hug his wife.

Lin Xiuqing saw that the child was also covered with a quilt, so she let her sleep like this.

"It's so hot. Just lie down and your body will be burned to death."

"Where is it hot? I just sweated, so I wiped it with cold water with a towel. It should be cool now."

"You can't feel it yourself, just walk away."

"You feel cold on your body, I can feel it..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't push away, and was pressed down by him shamelessly, "Aren't you tired? It's so late..."

"I just did some exercise and am in good spirits. How can I sleep? Come on, come on..."

"I shouldn't get up tomorrow..."

"It doesn't matter, there's no need to work after resting anyway." Ye Yaodong groped up and down his hands.

"If the weather is good tomorrow, we will have to take out the dried fish to dry..."

"Shh, my parents are here. If they come over early tomorrow morning and see it, they will take it out to dry. You can sleep in your bed."

"It's so annoying, so exhausting that I have to do this kind of thing..."

"It's not you who's tired. Just lie down. I don't want you to do anything. You don't have to move. I'll do it..."

Lin Xiuqing patted him gently.

Ye Yaodong was busy with the work at hand while coaxing, "It's been more than half a month...cooperate...it will be soon..."

"Hurry up, you big-headed ghost...yeah..."

The spring light in the room was blocked by the mosquito net. There was no moonlight outside, and no faint figures could be seen. There was only the sound of pattering rain, mixed with a little wind, blowing on the treetops not far away. .

The sky in the early morning is also a bit dark and confusing. In the past, when it was first bright, there was a red light on the sky. It looked like it would be a cloudy day today.

Worried about the rain, Lin Xiuqing did not take out the dried fish to hang, so as not to recycle them. Anyway, they were ventilated and dried, so she hung them in the house and corridor first.

Ye Yaodong slept until he woke up at three o'clock in the morning, only to find that no one was around him, not even the big or small ones.

When I got up, I saw that the house was full of dried fish. It didn't seem like a big deal, so I spread out the roll of nylon tape at home and propped it up on the black cloth sunshade mesh on the roof of the yard.

Then hang the wet or semi-dry dried fish out for ventilation. If it is 90% dry, just put it away first and wait for the weather to dry.

It's really a toss-up going back and forth.

"The eldest and second brothers went to sea at night?" I just wanted to ask them for help, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response.

"It seems like, I guess I went out because it didn't rain much at night."

"It's really hard work."

"Anyway, I'll have a rest in two days. If I stick to it for two days, I can earn more money. The porridge is already in the pot. Let's go eat first."

"Prepare some cuttlefish for me and tie them up in groups of ten with ropes. They don't need to be too big. Ten of them will only weigh a little over a pound. Prepare fifteen or six portions for me. And then another Help me pack two more baskets, each holding 5 pounds."

"What do you want to do? Give it away?" Lin Xiuqing thought about it for a moment, and then came to her senses.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "We have made a lot of money this month with those two boats. After all, we caught and dried cuttlefish ourselves. We can take some and send them to the border defense station so that we can show our faces more and become familiar with them."

"Why do you look so familiar?"

As she asked, she went to get the basket and straw rope and prepare them for him.

"If he is caught, and he looks familiar, he can be released directly by me!"

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth, what nonsense are you talking about!" Before Ah Qing could say anything, the old lady was the first to protest and hit him with a cattail leaf fan.

Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile, "I'm just joking, why do you take it so seriously? And it's possible. What if I get into a fight with someone and are arrested together, then they can't show favoritism to me?"

"You can talk nonsense when you open your mouth. OK, why do you fight with others? If there is a fight, there must be a reason. Then just arrest them. Why should I arrest you?"

"It's hard to say. Anyway, if you have the chance to get familiar with them, you should get familiar with them first. You don't need to pay for the ones you catch and show them. It's okay to give them a little as a favor. Just think of it as a thank you."

"Then...how about getting some more eggs..."

"Heh... no, why are you bringing eggs? It's not like confinement, just give me squid."

From the old lady's point of view, eggs are probably the best thing to get.
