Chapter 879 Going to the Shipyard Together

A night without dreams until dawn.

At 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, Ye Yaodong heard the movement beside him and got up together with him.

"Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I slept enough. I went to bed early last night."

Go to bed early, and of course wake up early.

He stretched at the door, twisted his neck and waist, and did not forget to turn to the old lady who was stirring the porridge and said, "Has the porridge been cooked enough today?"

"Yes, please remember to ask those children to come over and have a bowl of porridge before you go back."

"I know, I'm about to go over and take a look."

I took a quick look and saw that today I was cooking shredded sweet potato porridge. It seemed that it wasn't ready yet. The old lady stirred it and put the lid back on the pot.

"Have you finished eating the sweet potato shreds yet?"

He wants to eat shrimp and spinach porridge...

"Not yet. I still have a sack, which is enough to last until this winter. The fields on the back hillside have been cleared in the past few months. I have picked all the winter melons and pumpkins in the past two days. I will grow more sweet potatoes this year, so they can be used even in winter. Harvest more and dry some dried sweet potatoes to serve as snacks for a few children."

Dried sweet potatoes are fine, but shredded sweet potatoes are not necessary. He really hasn't eaten less in the past two years. The old lady always grabs a handful when cooking porridge. Occasionally, when cooking rice, she also grabs a handful of shredded sweet potatoes and mixes it with it...

Because my brother-in-law gave me a small bag of mung beans a few days ago. I heard that their family has mung bean porridge in the morning, mung bean rice at noon, mung bean sprouts on the table, and mung bean soup for snacks.

Today I switched to sweet potato shreds, which is a change of taste.

"Winter melons and pumpkins are too big and too heavy. Don't work blindly. I just haven't worked in the next few days. Leave them for me to harvest tomorrow and turn over the ground. I'm going to the shipyard in the morning. If I'm free in the afternoon I still have to go to town."

The old lady smiled with folds on her face, "Okay, I know, don't worry, I'll wait until you are free to do it. You are busy with your business."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong responded and walked out. The dogs at home quickly followed behind, and then rushed ahead after leaving the courtyard gate.

Wang Guangliang's cousins ​​and the twins moved out the bamboo bed as usual and sat on it to play cards. When they saw many dogs around, they quickly raised their heads and looked towards the door.

"Brother Dong is here, why so early?"

Wang Guangliang, holding the cards in his hand, was still looking around and listening. When he saw the figure at the door making a sound, he immediately threw away the cards in his hand and got out of bed neatly.

"Thank you for your hard work. Did you stay up all night again?"

"Fortunately, we are in great health and not sleepy."

"What time did you do it again today?"

Ye Yaodong asked as he walked in. The fishing nets in the open space were all covered with cooked shrimps, each one separated without overlapping.

He picked up a shell and ate it. It was still slightly warm. The shell was cold to the touch, but the meat inside was still a little warm.

Maybe it wasn't long after it was dried, and the wind cooled the outer shell, but the meat inside wasn't completely cool yet.

I forgot to ask the old lady what time she brought the pot back just now, but seeing that the porridge hadn't been cooked yet and was still stirring there, it probably wasn't long before she moved there.

Otherwise, as the old lady used to do, she would get up and cook after 4 o'clock every morning as soon as she polished it. By this time, bowls of porridge would have been packed and placed on the table to cool.

"Fortunately, it was cooked until about 5 o'clock, and the twins came over after one o'clock. We took out a pot and hurriedly moved it to the old lady..."

"Originally, the old lady came over at 4:30. I told her to get a pot out for her first. She said there was no rush. She also wanted to feed the chickens and chase the ducks first..."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's okay. I'll go to town in the afternoon and bring back two pots. Two more pots will cook together at the same time, which will make it faster. You can also squint..."

"It's okay, it's okay, we're not sleepy, cooking these shrimps is just like playing."

"The quantity we brought back yesterday was indeed large. The open space was half empty after drying in the sun a few days ago, but today it is almost full."

"It's a little more than half the previous days..."

"When the typhoon passes and we go to sea again, those trash fish will also be sent here. The barrels in my hometown won't be able to fit in. The twins will also be here to help. You have many people and company, but don't just play cards. Forgot to work.”

The twins immediately put away the smiles on their faces and said seriously: "Brother Dong, don't worry, we are just having fun and will not delay our work."

"Yes, yes...or we won't fight in the future..."

"It's okay. It's a little gambling for fun. It's normal to play cards to pass the time when you're bored. People always have some entertainment hobbies. If you don't even have any entertainment hobbies, what's the point?"

"hey-hey……"

"Old lady, your porridge is almost ready. You can take a rest or play cards for a while. I'll come over later and ask you to eat. I don't know how long it will take for the next typhoon to pass, and we don't know if there will be one here. If you are affected, you may not have any work for a long time. If you can find work elsewhere, go and do it."

"What kind of work can I do in a typhoon day? Let's see if we can touch some eels and loaches in the next two days. Otherwise, it's just idle time."

Ye Yaodong was a little excited when he heard that, but he was quite busy, so he won't talk about it today. He promised the old lady to harvest winter melons and pumpkins tomorrow. By the way, he also planned to see where to move those cherry seedlings. Otherwise, The goose will peck them all, not even a drop of green will be spared.

Only three of the mounds where the children were buried were destroyed, and the few fences he installed didn't work. As the geese grew in size, they were all destroyed.

It just so happens that I will transplant a few cherry seedlings tomorrow to see if they can survive. The typhoon is not coming that fast. Then I will take a few bamboo pieces and tie them into a triangle around the cherry seedlings. The triangle will provide stability.

According to his experience, July is usually a small typhoon. Under normal circumstances, there will be basically no impact on their side. The sun will still shine brightly, but the waves may be strong.

Ye Yaodong's thought lasted only a moment before he immediately changed his mind, "If you catch too many, remember to send some over."

"It's necessary! I'll take a nap later and catch him in the evening."

"There's no rush."

A few of them just smiled.

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he went back first and came over to call them later when the porridge was ready.

He didn't expect it, he just said it casually, and then these guys would bring him a bucket of eels and a bucket of loaches every day, which he couldn't finish eating. They were too active and idle.

After a simple breakfast, he went out to the door with his father. His eldest brother, second brother, and many neighbors from the next door households had already finished their breakfast and were chatting at the door.

As soon as they came out, everyone smiled and said hello, and walked and chatted towards the village.

Father Ye just happened to see Ye Chenghai running out with the football in his arms, and a few followers following him, so he quickly called people to stop him.

"Ah Hai!"

Ye Chenghai heard his grandfather calling him and quickly braked, "Grandpa? What are you doing?"

Father Ye waved to him, "Come on, come on~"

"What are you doing? I'm going to play football."

As he spoke, he walked towards Father Ye with a puzzled expression on his face.

Aren't a group of them going to the county seat? Why did you call him all of a sudden?

When Father Ye came closer, he took the football from his hand and threw it behind him...

"Ah! My ball..."

Father Ye grabbed him and said, "We'll play again when we get back. Come with us to the city to watch the boats."

Ye Chenghai's eyes widened, "Look at the boat? Why do you want to look at the boat? What does it have to do with me?"

"Let's go and see. You are 13 years old, not too young. I was already fishing at sea when I was your age."

"Ah!?? But haven't you always wanted me to study?" Ye Chenghai suddenly felt that studying was good again.

He turned around and watched reluctantly. His ball had rolled away under the transmission of several younger brothers and sisters. He wanted to chase it, but his grandfather held him tight.

"I'm not letting you study. Let's go and have a look with everyone first. I'll learn a lot. You are the eldest grandson of our family. You will be 14 after the New Year. You can't just play around."

Father Ye said as he dragged him to follow the large army.

Ye Chenghai was about to cry but had no tears, so he could only be dragged away while turning his head to look at his ball.

Ye Yaodong also left the team and stood not far away watching, gloating in his heart that he was caught right when he ran out at this time.

When his father pulled Ye Chenghai closer, he could still hear his father's words, "If you have a craft, you will be able to eat for a lifetime, and you will never die of hunger. You are not good at studying anyway. You can only read about it. If you have a It is better to learn a craft in a local place and learn it early..."

"It won't hurt to go to the shipyard and have a look. Don't just play around all day. Your third uncle is also serious about buying anything. I'll buy you a ball to play with and run around there all day long..."

"I couldn't see anyone during the day, but now I can't even see anyone at night. Standing in front of me, I can only see your two eyes..."

"Pfft hahaha..."

I didn't expect his father to be so humorous, and the description was quite appropriate.

Ye Chenghai had a look of despair on his face and weakly shouted, "Uncle..."

"Take a break. I know you have a lot of energy. If you don't play for a day, you won't lose a piece of meat."

"well……"

"Children, don't sigh!"

"Why?"

Ye Chenghai had a bottle of oil hanging from his mouth, and his face was full of displeasure.

"How can there be so many reasons?"

To be honest, he didn't know why children couldn't sigh. Anyway, adults said that children couldn't sigh!

It's like a child without a waist.

Ye Yaodong held his shoulder and walked together. The people in front had already walked far away, so they were not in a hurry and followed him slowly.

Ye Yaopeng met his eldest son and followed him without saying anything.

Although everyone heard last night that another typhoon was coming, diligent people still went to sea to check at night. Some people felt that the storm was not too big and continued working.

Therefore, there were not so many people waiting there in the village, which was somewhat beyond Ye Yaodong's imagination.

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic discussions these days, he thought there would be many people interested, but it turned out that there were only about twenty people chatting and waiting for them around the store.

It's normal when you think about it. It's so expensive, and most people would shake their heads after hearing it. They can only talk about it as gossip. There can be more than twenty people, and there are enough people around him.

Ye Yaodong didn't say anything. Anyway, his father was there. Many of his sons were about the same age as his father, so most of the sons went with me.

However, he did see Brother Asheng and his eldest cousin in the crowd, as well as two or three cousins.

After everyone said hello to each other, they walked to the entrance of the village together.

There was a large group of people cheering, and other people in the village couldn't help but look at them sideways. Some who didn't know the situation asked each other, and then they suddenly realized it, and some who were interested also followed.

After they reached the main road, people passing by couldn't help but look at them a few more times. It was quite spectacular to see thirty or forty young adults walking together on the road.

If they didn't have any tools in their hands and were still talking and laughing while walking, passers-by might think they were going to some village to seek revenge.

But people passing by were still curious. If they weren't seeking revenge, why were they all young adults?

It is even more impossible to go to the market. Not to mention that there is no market today. If there is a market, it is impossible for all young people to go there. In the past, there were more women.

A large group of them faced various surprised looks from passers-by along the way, but they were outnumbered and looked at them equally, so it didn't matter.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
