This jellyfish looks very transparent and weighs about 50 to 60 kilograms, but it has no value to them. It is too troublesome to handle and no one wants it.
Ye Yaodong put on a pair of gloves before pushing the huge white jellyfish back into the sea. This was because the stinging cells on the jellyfish's tentacles were poisonous. If one was accidentally touched by its tentacles, the skin would ulcerate. The brighter the color of the jellyfish, the more poisonous it was.
He had always been lucky when setting up the ground traps before and had rarely caught any jellyfish, and those that did were often very small. But today, for some reason, several jellyfish, all white and transparent, came into the ground traps one after another.
He pulled in three or four nets in a row, and except for a few small fish and a few starfish, most of the nets were jellyfish, which he pushed all into the water.
By the time all 60 traps were collected, there were 7 more bags of starfish on the boat, two more buckets of fish, and a lot of rotten fish thrown away. We hadn't been out to collect them for many days, and a lot of the fish inside had died and were no longer fresh.
With the dim light of the flashlight, he drove the boat to the place where the two men had placed the traps. They had more traps than he did, 80 in total.
Although they also had jellyfish in their traps, it seemed that their cargo was still more than his. Both of them were so happy that they poured them all over the boat. Fortunately, his cargo had already been bagged and put in the corner.
“I didn’t expect the traps would actually catch so many starfish.”
"Maybe there are still a lot of them down there. Let's see tomorrow. If the weather is good, we can come over to collect some. Although they are extremely cheap, there are really a lot of them."
"I don't know where they came from, so many of them suddenly appeared..."
The wind blew their hair all over the place, making it look like a mess, and their noses were running, but they were still excited and trying their best to pretend to be starfish.
Ye Yaodong also touched his messy hair that was blown by the wind and felt that it was time to get a haircut. He shrank his neck, shuddered, and drove the boat back.
The wind was howling on the sea at night, and the waves hit the deck from time to time. Suddenly, raindrops floated in the wind and blew on his face, which felt a little cold and wet. It seemed that he would not be able to go out to sea tomorrow.
There were a few lights moving sporadically on the sea. They were the small wooden boats that had been rowing out to collect the nets in the evening and were returning.
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and it was already past eight o'clock. He quickened his pace and walked back. A diesel-powered ship could travel very fast. Some small wooden boats were still floating on the sea, but he had already reached the shore.
The three of them worked together to carry all the starfish onto the boat, because some fishing boats were still at sea and the purchasing point was not closed.
After carrying all the starfish to be weighed, Ye Yaodong had another receipt for 702 kilograms in his hand, while Xiao Xiao and A Zheng also sold 915 kilograms and earned more than ten yuan.
The other people who put more traps than them had even more than they did, and the numbers were even more incredible. They sold more than 1,000 kilograms each, and the entire purchasing point was filled with starfish. I heard that several trucks had been taken away, but they still couldn't be taken away all, and there were even boats on the sea that hadn't returned. These were the locusts on the seabed, and there were so many of them.
Ye Yaodong walked quickly towards home and saw that the village was brightly lit, which was unusual for him. Everyone had earned a few dollars today. The people in the village who specialized in setting traps might have earned more than him.
Looking at the woman standing at the door from afar, he strode over with the bucket in his hand, then put down the bucket and held her cold little hand.
"It's windy, why are you waiting at the door?"
"It's already dark, and I saw you haven't come back for a while, so I came out to check at the door. Come in quickly, wash your hands and eat. We have already eaten."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong gave her the order for 700 kilograms of starfish and fish that he had just sold, which made her happy for a while.
“I don’t know if there will be any tomorrow.”
"I don't know. I didn't get any results after a few days of rest. Fortunately, I picked up some starfish today. I sold them for more than 20 yuan at noon and in the evening. I also got some fish, so that's good enough."
"Yes," she nodded happily, brought the hot food in the pot to him, and urged him to eat first, "I'll go kill the fish."
"Leave it there and let me come later. Go and get the child to sleep."
"No, they're both having fun next door, so it's okay to sleep a little later. You've been tired all day, and I can clean up quickly."
"I am indeed very tired. How about you give me a shoulder massage? A pat on my back? A massage on my waist?"
Lin Xiuqing was originally heading for the back door with a smile on her face, but when she heard this, she stopped and glanced at him, "Should I massage your legs and chest again?"
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, it's settled!"
"Do you want to tighten the leather?"
His smile froze instantly, "Haha... this... this last one is not necessary, right? Haven't I been very honest recently?"
"Come over here every other day in the middle of the night, and that's what you call being honest?"
"I'll only hold you in my arms for the next two nights. I'm not afraid it'll be too long. If you need anything..."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily and said, "Get lost."
Ye Yaodong felt happy when he saw her going to the back door to kill the fish in anger.
After a tiring day, I finally felt a little relaxed when I got home. If I didn't tease her, who else could I tease? But it was true that my back and waist were sore.
After finishing his meal, he wiped himself casually and went to lie down in the house. The two little brats also ran back by themselves.
Just then, he asked two of them to climb onto his waist and back and step on him.
The two guys excitedly took off their shoes and socks immediately and climbed onto the bed using their hands and feet.
He was afraid that the two of them would not stand firmly and fall down, so he moved closer to the inside.
"Dad, is this so? Ah ah, bang..." Ye Chenghu stepped on it and just stood firm, but before he could feel happy for a moment, he fell down with a loud bang, and his head hit the headboard of the bed.
Ye Yaodong just turned his head and took a look, and didn't try to comfort him. It was just a bed board, how could it hurt? Boys are tough, anyway, he only screamed once, but didn't cry.
There was another person on top of him, using his hands and feet, giggling.
"Don't drool on me! If you do, I'll beat you up!"
"No~"
"Yes, Dad, I saw him pull it... Oh... He sucked it back again... Eww~ It's dripping again..."
Ye Yaodong was listening to his eldest son's report and felt a drop of water dripping down his back. He turned his head away in disgust, bared his teeth, and wiped the saliva off his body in disgust.
"You're so disgusting right after I said that. You're so old, but you still drool all day. I despise you. Come down quickly. I don't want you anymore."
"I want it, I want it!"
Ye Chengyang laughed and shamelessly lay down on him, pressing on him, and deliberately swaying left and right for fun.
Ye Chenghu also found it fun to watch, so he followed suit and pressed forward with all his strength, forming a pyramid.
"Oh~ Shit~ You two are going to crush me to death."
“Hahaha~”
In fact, it was just the moment when he pressed down that the weight suddenly increased, and he exaggerated it on purpose to amuse the two children.
Now he deliberately swayed left and right and twisted his back to tease them, and threw them all down. They then climbed up again with a giggle.
Ye Yaodong was also having fun and he shook his body twice, causing them to fall off his body and onto the bed. The two of them fell into a pile, groaning and laughing, but they climbed up again indomitable.
This time, the two chose to sit on his back, one in front and one behind. "Haha, go!"
"Oh~ you bastards, I told you to step on my back, but you rode me like a horse."
"Hurry~"
Ye Chengyang, who was sitting in front, playfully grabbed his long hair and made him tilt his head back, yelling "Go!"
"Oh~ you bastard~"
He will get his hair cut tomorrow.
"Haha~ Daddy becomes Mama... Mama..."
The little butt was lifted up once, then sat down again, lifted up once, then sat down again.
Ye Chenghu is so old now, he also follows suit...
"Ah~ My waist, get off me..."
"don't want!"
"don't want!"
Ye Yaodong regretted asking them to step on his back.
They sat on his back one after another, and his waist was about to break...
"Get down here now."
"Why are you guys making so much noise? I heard it all in the backyard. It's so late and you're still making noise. Do you want to be whipped?"
"Wife, save me~ Look, you gave birth to two bastards..."
"I gave birth to them, so they are your offspring." Although she said so, Lin Xiuqing still stepped forward, picked up the two of them, and slapped each of them on the butt.
"Go to bed quickly. You took a shower early and ran around everywhere. You're still making noise when you come back."
"Hehe~ Dad asked us to step on his back."
Ye Yaodong also took the opportunity to cry, "My waist is really going to be broken by these two brats, come and rub it for me."
"Dad, let me do it, let me do it~" Ye Chenghu volunteered to massage him again.
"Go, go, go, go to sleep."
Lin Xiuqing gave the three men, both big and small, a glare and turned off the lights. They would not go to sleep without turning off the lights. They had been getting more and more noisy during this period. Every night before going to bed, she would have to make a fuss before she could go to sleep. It was really a headache. It had never been so noisy when she was at home.
She hoped that this time her belly wouldn't be too strong, and that she wouldn't give birth to another son...
If one more naughty one comes along, the roof will be blown off!
"Go to sleep!"
As soon as the lights were turned off, the two of them lay down obediently in a row in the corner.
Ye Yaodong also muttered, "You're already that old, but you still sleep with us, Ye Chenghu, aren't you ashamed? Go sleep in your own crib tomorrow."
"I don't want it, go to sleep."
"Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
"Hehe... go to sleep if you want..."
"It's raining, and I have nothing to do tomorrow..."
"Stop arguing! You three should go to sleep!" Lin Xiuqing was overwhelmed. She didn't even know when she had raised "three sons".
The tigress showed her power and the three men immediately fell silent!
There was no sound, and soon the two children's breathing became even. Children fall asleep as soon as they are told to.
Ye Yaodong covered the two children with blankets, then moved closer to Lin Xiuqing and called softly, "Wife?"
"Wife?"
"Wife?"
Lin Xiuqing opened her eyes depressedly, "What are you going to do now?"
"My back hurts!"
She sighed helplessly, turned sideways, and reached out to rub his lower back.
“My back hurts too…”
“My shoulder hurts too…”
Lin Xiuqing stopped what she was doing and raised her eyebrows. "Then what?"
"Will you heal me?"
"How to cure it?"
Ye Yaodong turned over and pressed on him, "I'll teach you..."
Lin Xiuqing patted his shoulder, "Stop it... You just said your waist hurts..."
"That's because the meridians are blocked. It will be fine if you clear them..."
"what?"
…
