After everyone withdrew their surprised looks, he went into the house to take a shower and pack up his tools.
"Ah Qing, go make me a bowl of noodles. I need to go out early."
"oh."
Lin Xiuqing immediately put down the work at hand and went to cook noodles for him. He had already informed her last night and knew that he was going to the isolated island to fish in the sea, so of course she supported and cooperated with him.
The other two sisters-in-law didn't know that he was going to fish in the sea after breakfast. They couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this. They thought he had grown up and knew how to help with the work, but who knew that he would turn around and say that he wanted to go out after breakfast...
Mother Ye originally wanted to curse a few words, but seeing that the couple were willing to fight and the rebellious son had already run into the house and could not be seen anymore, she had to give up and swallowed her words, only muttering a few words.
After finishing his noodles, Ye Yaodong picked up the bucket containing the tools, stuffed a sack into his pocket, and hurried to the dock.
The women of the Ye family also started to wash rice and pick vegetables. They had to eat lunch early today and then go to the sea to fish. The construction of the house would start tomorrow, and the amount of food consumed every day would be very large. They also needed to dig more sand clams, which would reduce some expenses.
Everyone was busy with their own work and no one paid attention to Ye Yaodong. They didn't know that he had gone out with the tools for mining.
When Ye Yaodong arrived at the dock with the bucket, Xiaoxiao and A Zheng were already there.
"How come you are so fast?"
"How can a man say fast? We just arrived a while ago and A Guang went to drive the boat."
"Then wait a moment, I'll go buy some diesel."
"I still need to buy diesel. Guang didn't tell me and I don't have any money."
Ah Zheng also felt his pocket and said, "I didn't bring anything either..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It's okay, I brought it. I'll put the bucket here. You guys can keep an eye on it for me while I go buy it."
A Guang was quite considerate and did not say that he would pay for renting the boat himself, otherwise they would definitely bring some money.
There was a small shop near the dock that specialized in repairing ship machinery and also sold diesel. They didn't go very far, so he only bought diesel worth 1 yuan, which was enough for them to use. If there was any left, he would give it as a subsidy to others.
As soon as I bought the diesel, Xiao Xiao ran over and said, "Is it ready? A Guang has brought the boat to the shore. Let's get on board once we've bought it."
"Okay, let's go."
He picked up a small pot of oil and followed them onto the boat. As soon as he stepped onto the deck, he felt that nothing seemed to be a big deal. A little shaking was nothing to him, and he felt a little more at ease.
He handed the diesel to Guang and said, "Pour the diesel in. It only takes about ten minutes to drive to the island, so I only bought one pot. It is enough for several round trips."
"Well, that's enough, let's go."
After a while, the engine made a clattering sound and the boat slowly sailed away from the shore. Everyone sat on small benches and chatted calmly, except Ye Yaodong. The closer the boat got to the center of the sea, the paler his expression became.
Seeing that there was water all around him and only a small boat swaying in the middle of the sea, he couldn't help but think that he was exhausted and could only let the sea water pour into his mouth and nose...
He thought that the feeling of suffocation would be fine if he didn't think about it, but now that he was in the middle of the sea, it was difficult for him not to think about it.
The day before yesterday, he was picking oysters on the rocks on the shore. His concentration was focused on the rocks, and he was not panicked even though his legs and feet were floating in the sea water. But now he was drifting on the sea, which made him a little nervous.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, but Ah Zheng saw him sitting quietly, and his face didn't look very good. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Dongzi, what's wrong with you? Damn, are you seasick?"
"No way, you're seasick?"
"It's only been a short time since we got here. You're exaggerating! Are you dizzy?"
The other two were also extremely surprised. People who live by the sea actually get seasick, and they got seasick right after going out to sea. If they told others about it, they would laugh their heads off.
Ye Yaodong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I only rode on my grandfather's boat when I was a kid. It's been years. Don't laugh at me. When will it dock?"
Ah Guang looked at him with a puzzled look. No wonder he didn't dare to go out to sea with his father. "Let's go to the isolated island opposite first. It should take about ten minutes. Just bear with it. It won't take long."
He nodded, he was just very nervous.
The boat was moving fast on the sea, creating ripples one after another, but he didn't dare look at the sea level, nor did he dare close his eyes. He could only cast his gaze towards the mountains in the distance, but it was of no use, and his face was still pale.
Ye Yaodong was also depressed. There were many other ways to die, but he had to fall into the sea and die. How could he, a man who made a living from the sea, make a living
Even as they approached the isolated island, his symptoms did not improve at all. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind...
"What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes?" Guang looked at his actions in confusion. "Swimming?"
"You want to swim a few laps?" Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. This is good. It's more comfortable to soak in the water on such a hot day. "I'll go with you. Just swim to the other side."
Ah Zheng also said excitedly: "I want to go down and soak in the bubbles too. Let's have a race to see who can swim to the other side first?"
As they spoke, they both began to take off their clothes. Only Guang could do nothing but start the boat. "Once we get to the island, I'm going to swim a few laps in the water, too."
Ye Yaodong felt relieved when he saw their actions. With them swimming with him, he would definitely not drown. Fighting poison with poison, could he cure his fear of the sea? This was the first attempt.
"Don't swim too fast and wait for me. Otherwise, if my legs and feet twitch and I drown, I will come to find you in the middle of the night!"
Ah Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "This pretty boy is only good looking but useless!"
"You can't envy such a pretty boy." After saying this, seeing that they were very close to the shore, Ye Yaodong jumped into the sea first.
As soon as he entered the sea, the familiar feeling of suffocation instantly overwhelmed him. He suddenly forgot how to swim. His mind went blank, his hands and feet flapped around, and his body sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
Xiaoxiao and Azheng, who were still on the boat and were about to jump, were surprised to see his abnormal movements and sinking body.
"Don't you know how to swim? What are you doing?"
"Go and fish him out and see!"
The two of them jumped down like dumplings and surrounded Ye Yaodong. Seeing that he was still struggling with his eyes closed but no signs of choking, they directly brought him out of the water.
The sudden burst of fresh air gave him a chance to breathe. The feeling of being rescued was indescribably refreshing.
He opened his eyes and floated with the help of their strength. After a while, he found the feeling and started to swing on his own. The panic in his heart also dissipated a little.
"What are you doing? Why are you still sinking? Are you really going to see Mazu?"
"I got a cramp on my fucking horse. The moment I jumped off, my leg suddenly cramped!"
