In the middle of the night, when he was sleeping soundly, he heard the sound of rain. He turned over, covered his head with the quilt, and fell asleep peacefully.
The drizzle continued.
When I woke up the next day, the sky was still gray and it looked like the rain hadn't fallen enough.
Rainy days are suitable for sleeping. He looked at the watch and saw that it was just past six o'clock. He continued to sleep, just in time to make up for the sleep he had missed in the past few days and have a good rest today.
The sky cleared up in the afternoon. After the rain stopped, he went to collect the traps along the coast and prepared to release all four rows of traps on the reef after the weather cleared up.
I guess after the flood season is over, he will have to move to another place to fish to avoid the spotlight.
Just like what Secretary Chen said, don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be afraid of one.
After suffering such a huge loss, they will definitely come back to seek revenge.
A real man can bend and stretch, anyway, he has already gained benefits. If he comes to the village, no one can do anything to him. As long as he doesn't encounter a large number of them at sea, he is not afraid.
After the flood season is over, it’s the same if you change to another place to fish. You just have to take advantage of these few days to catch as much good stuff as you can from the bottom of the sea. If you can’t catch all of it, just wait until the flood season is over before going again.
There were quite a lot of catches in the traps, but they hadn't collected any for two days. They kept some for eating and producing milk, and also kept more than 4 kilograms of white shrimps that they caught. The rest were sold.
Their whole family likes to eat white shrimps. They can be used to make drunken shrimps or blanched shrimps, which are very fresh and sweet. Stewing them with rice wine is also suitable for Ah Qing to increase her milk production.
As soon as he brought the goods home, his father ate one, and then Ye's mother grabbed a handful and put them in a bowl, preparing to stew a bowl of them while they were fresh.
Father Ye tasted the food and said, "The trap is broken? Why did you bring it back? Wouldn't it be good to leave it there? I can just collect it when I have time. It's not a big deal."
Ye Yaodong told his plan, and his father nodded, "It's better to change to another place, it's better to have less trouble than more."
Everyone's attention was drawn to the radio, and no one cared what the father and son were saying. Today was a rare day since no one went out to sea, so everyone had some free time, and they all sat under the porch, listening to the radio and weaving nets.
The families of Lan Da and Lan Er, who had just moved in next door, also gathered at their door. The rain stopped in the afternoon, and when they heard the noise, they came over to eavesdrop.
There were no headphones at that time, and all radios, big and small, were played loudly. No one complained about disturbing others, except for the neighbors who came over because they didn't have radios.
Ye Yaodong saw that he had not been away for long and there were two more families at the door. He could not help but say, "It's fine for you to come to listen to opera and storytelling, but don't throw away garbage like melon seed shells, otherwise we will have to clean up after you."
"I know, I know..."
"The Biography of Yue Fei is so wonderful. I heard that there is also a broadcast of Generals of the Yang Family, which is also very wonderful."
"We'll buy one someday."
…
Ye Yaodong listened at home for most of the day today, and he was not particularly interested in this. It was just that the whole family, young and old, sat together and it was lively and cheerful. The old lady was so happy that her face was beaming with joy the whole day. He was still very satisfied watching it, because when people get old, they like a lively and popular home.
They might have to go out to sea again at night, so they planned to go to bed after dinner to recuperate. Unexpectedly, when they were about to finish dinner, his eldest and second brothers-in-law came to the door.
Both of them stood at the door and smiled awkwardly without coming in. They felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
Ye Yaodong is now the head of the family. He happened to be sitting facing the door. He saw his two brothers-in-law coming to the door carrying two sacks. He quickly got up to greet them.
"Hey, why are you here? Come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet?"
"We've eaten, we've eaten. We ate before we came here." Lin Xianghui put the sack in the corner and walked into the house, saying awkwardly, "We're here to trouble you again."
"It's alright. I can't even say hello. Come and sit down. Do you want to eat something? What did you bring? Why did you bring a sack?"
"Some vegetables grown at home, and two large winter melons."
"Ah? We have so many vegetables planted next to our house. What are you bringing? We can't even finish them all. A large winter melon weighs dozens of kilograms. You'll be crazy carrying it. Why are you walking here again today?"
Ye Yaodong took a look at the stuff in the sack and was almost speechless. They were too honest. Each winter melon looked to weigh 30 kilograms, and he carried two
They were dusty and their feet were covered in muddy yellow soil. Even though there were traces of scratches and scrapes, it was obvious that they had walked here. The rain had just stopped in the afternoon.
Lin Xianghui rubbed his hands, avoiding the main point and not saying how they got here. He just said embarrassedly: "There is nothing else at home, just vegetables and fruits. The bayberries are not yet black, so we have to wait a little longer. Dad said you didn't grow winter melons, so he asked us to pick two and send them together. We will wait for a few days after the full moon to see if we can pick the bayberries. We will send them over then."
"Hurry up and sit down and have a rest. Have a drink of water." Ye's mother also hurriedly asked them to sit down. "You are so thoughtful, my in-laws. Those two winter melons are very heavy. Don't send them next time. It's too much trouble. It's a long way and it's not easy."
"It's okay. There are five ducklings in this small wooden box. They were just hatched the day before yesterday. They also let us bring them here."
Mother Ye narrowed her eyes and smiled, "My in-laws are so polite."
"It's nothing, they are all hatched at home."
"Dad said that it's the squid season these two days, and he can pick up a lot of money every day when he comes here. He stayed at home for a day, and kept saying it was a pity. When the rain stops, he will send us to take a look and bring you some vegetables. We don't have anything good at home, just vegetables."
Lin Xiangrong was also a little embarrassed. His father came here to eat, take things, and make money, and now he has to send them here. Although they were also very excited to hear this, they just felt embarrassed.
"You came at the perfect time. I have to go fishing tomorrow and won't have time to pick up squids on the beach. It would be a pity for the seabirds to get them. Now that you are here, I will pick them up for you so they won't be wasted."
He was still thinking that if he wanted to go into the water, his father would have to wait on the boat, and the squids on the beach would be eaten by seabirds, with many being washed ashore by the sea every day. He didn't expect that his two brothers-in-law would come directly over.
"Really? You don't need to consider us and go fishing for other things..."
"No, no one would have a problem with money, don't worry."
"That's good, that's good. If all the money really went into the seabird's stomach, it would be wasted."
"Yes, that's what I said. That's why I said you came just in time. If nothing unexpected happens and the sea is calm, we can go out to sea at night."
The two brothers-in-law's eyes lit up. They had never been on a boat before. Their parents told them about it vividly yesterday. They were very excited and wanted to try it very much.
"Okay, okay."
