Mrs. Ye's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had originally planned to take it to a purchasing point to identify what kind of snail it was and see how much it was worth.
"Don't you have to pick out the meat to see if there are pearls inside? If there are no pearls, wouldn't it be a loss?"
"Yes, it's up to you. Do you want to sell them directly or pick out the pearls?"
Mrs. Ye hesitated, but Ye Yaodong ignored her and threw her two back into her bucket. He also gave his to Lin Xiuqing and said, "Put them in your bucket first. Don't worry. You can pick them out when you get home. Now keep looking to see if there are any more."
Since his second sister-in-law picked up two, it means there may be more on the beach today, which came in with the waves.
As soon as he turned around, Ye Yaodong saw a gray-white bulge in the low-tide area in the distance. He trotted over and picked up another one, which was smaller than the one his wife picked up.
"Ah Qing!"
"ah?"
"There's another one, caught it!"
He held up the conch in his hand, gestured at her, and then threw it at her in a parabola.
Lin Xiuqing spread out her hands, took the ball, looked left and right, and then happily put it back into the bucket.
Seeing that they had found another one, Ye Ersao was not willing to be left behind, so she rushed towards the tide and started looking for it again.
They didn’t know if the number washed in by the tide was limited, but in the end they found nothing. They only found a few conchs of different sizes, and the rest were all various clams.
Ye Yaodong saw that the tide was almost receding and some people had already gone to the reef. He grabbed Lin Xiuqing who was about to go to the tide and said, "Let's go to the reef and take a look."
"okay."
When Mrs. Ye saw the two of them walking hand in hand towards the reef, she hurried to follow them, despising them in her heart for becoming more and more attached to the lake during this period of time.
At the same time, she cursed Ye Yaohua in her heart. She didn't know where the thing went, so she just followed her closely.
As soon as they entered the reef area, they heard someone excitedly discover a blue crab, and everyone looked at him with envy as he put it in his pocket.
Ye Yaodong thought about taking a quick look around to see if there were any large items. If not, he would then carefully look for some cracks in the rocks.
Just as I was about to lift my foot, I saw a blue crab between two rocks nearby.
Just as he took two steps and was about to bend down to pick it up, he was pushed by a boy of about sixteen or seventeen and the item was snatched away.
"Fuck!" Ye Yaodong staggered and cursed angrily.
But maybe the boy had no experience and was too anxious, so when he reached out to grab it, he wasn't paying attention and was pinched by the blue crab's big claws. He had a look of surprise on his face just now, but now he screamed in pain, and blood oozed out of his fingers.
He gloated in his heart and said, "Serves him right!" Then he bent down, picked up the blue crab and threw it back into his sack.
The young man was unwilling to say: "That's mine!"
It was not known whether it was his sister or someone else beside him, but she took out a ten-cent bill to bandage his wound and glared at Ye Yaodong.
"That blue crab belongs to us. How could you be so shameless as to pick it up and put it in your sack?"
Ye Yaodong sneered, "Yours? Is your name engraved on the shell on the back? I saw it first and was about to pick it up, but this brat pushed me and almost made me fall. If you had made me fall, I would have eaten at your house."
"I saw it first..."
"You saw it first, why did you push me? You deserved to be bitten, you can't even stand a crab!"
After saying that, Ye Yaodong was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by that woman. She was quite brave!
"What! I'm already married, why are you making such a fuss?"
The woman blushed immediately, and immediately changed her pulling of his arm to grabbing the corner of his clothes, "Don't leave, return the blue crab to us."
"Yours is the devil? I saw it first, so I won't say anything. I've already caught you in a sack, and you still say it's yours? Have some shame, please!"
The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of the people around them. Lin Xiuqing also trotted over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"She's holding onto your man and won't let go!"
The woman blushed and quickly explained, "No, he took the blue crab that my brother found while he was bitten by it!"
Seeing so many people looking at them, the little brat felt a little embarrassed and could not help but whispered, "Forget it, Second Sister..."
"If you didn't see it, don't talk nonsense. Did you see my knee? It's covered in mud and sand. He pushed it there. I saw it first and was about to catch it, but he pushed it. Then he was in a hurry to catch it and got bitten. You are so young and you don't learn your lesson. You dare to push me. I'll tell your parents to beat you up when I get home!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Xiuqing and asked, "Whose bastards are these two?"
Lin Xiuqing whispered, "It's the home of Uncle Lin who just fell into the sea and died on the side of the road behind the mountain."
Ye Yaodong was surprised. Their family
"Forget it, I won't bother with you. Take it back and disinfect it with iodine. Your nail is definitely broken, and the banknotes are very dirty. Don't get bacteria into the wound."
The second sister wanted to say something, but was stopped by her brother, "Forget it, let's go."
Seeing that his second sister was still a little bit unwilling to give in, he whispered again, "It was indeed me who pushed him first just now."
Seeing them whispering there, Ye Yaodong hesitated for a moment, then took the blue crab out of the sack and threw it into their bucket. It weighed only about one pound.
"I'll give it to you!"
After throwing it away, he left. He didn't need one more fish anyway. The orphan and his widow were pitiful. It was he who helped to sail the boat back that day.
The brother and sister were instantly surprised, and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Ye Yaodong was somewhat disappointed by this incident. He lost interest and didn't want to go fishing anymore. He just followed his wife.
"What's wrong?"
“It’s boring.”
"So we're going home?"
"It's okay. If you want to play, just keep walking around. The tide has just receded, so there should be something to pick up."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a commotion not far away.
"Let's go see what happened. Maybe someone has found something good."
The two had just taken a few steps when they clearly heard someone discussing something called western grouper. Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. Someone actually picked up a western grouper
Pulling his wife over quickly, he saw his elder brother holding a spotted fish and showing it to everyone with a big smile on his face. The fish's tail was still moving and almost jumped out of his hand.
Was it his elder brother who found the western star grouper
Many people in the crowd praised him for his good luck. He could find something...
He walked closer and saw that it was indeed a western grouper!
It's gray, green, and has blue spots, so it's very easy to recognize.
He couldn't help but feel envious and a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have been faster in catching the blue crabs so that he wouldn't have been delayed by the two siblings. He had wanted to come over here to take a look just now.
Fortunately, it was picked up by my eldest brother.
"Brother, you are very lucky. I didn't see you coming over here just now. How come you suddenly appeared?"
"Haha, I thought you had picked up sea bass and yellowtail here, so I headed straight here when I saw the tide recede..."
"hehe… "
Ye Yaodong laughed awkwardly, his elder brother was such a fool!
Seeing the person next to him with eyes flickering and thoughtful, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Even if you think so, don't say it out loud?"
There are people everywhere, and it will be a typhoon next. When the tide goes out, this area will definitely be full of people!
