Ye Chenghai and the others looked on with envy. They also wanted to eat malted milk and instant noodles. They secretly glanced at their mothers and could only sigh in their hearts. They still had to fend for themselves.
Thinking about the more than half a bucket of goods they had just caught, he became full of motivation and energy.
However, Third Uncle has passed away, so they can only hand in the good stuff they picked up. Ye Chenghai thinks it is not worth it, and he can't let his mother get it for free!
A few of them discussed it secretly and decided that they should go home to eat first, and then come out after Uncle San came out. They couldn't work for their mother for nothing!
But Ye Chenghai was afraid of being scolded, so he kept winking at Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe. The two were not stupid, so they did not go up to be scolded.
The three of them just stood there with their eyes glaring at each other. It was Sister Ye who noticed it first and started scolding them.
Ye Chenghai gritted his teeth and said cleverly: "Mom, Chenghe said he was hungry and wanted to go home for dinner!"
The greatest use of a younger brother is to take the blame at critical moments!
Ye Chenghe's eyes widened, looking at Ye Chenghai in disbelief, "It was obviously you..."
Mrs. Ye immediately got furious and glared at Ye Chenghe, "Eat, eat, eat. You're just thinking about eating. You didn't even help me pick up a few fruits. You're just thinking about eating. Fill my basin with them first."
Ye Chenghe agreed reluctantly, but was still unwilling to give in. When Ye Chenghai squatted down, he pushed him, causing him to fall into the water.
Well, no one can let this go, the two brothers immediately started fighting in the water...
Mrs. Ye's blood pressure rose instantly and her whole head was throbbing with pain. Fortunately, they were on the beach and had no weapons in their hands, otherwise she would have beaten the two brothers to death.
"Run! The aunt is coming to beat people..."
The two brothers fought quickly and fled quickly. When his mother rushed over to hit them, the two brothers quickly separated and crawled straight home, making Ye Dasao so angry that she almost died on the spot.
The remaining few people were very serious at this moment, fearing that the fire would burn themselves.
Ye Yaodong had only walked halfway with the child in his arms when he saw Ye Chenghai and his brother catching up with them. They were both soaked but still running very fast, as if someone was chasing them. He looked back in confusion.
"Why are you running? Is there a wolf behind you?"
"There's a tiger, a tigress!" Ye Chenghai turned his head and took a look. Only after he found that his mother didn't chase him did he stop with relief.
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "I'll tell my sister-in-law later!"
"What tigress?" Ye Yaopeng and his brother had just driven the boat to the safe harbor and were walking back when they heard this.
"Nothing... nothing, Dad, you're back, Mom told us to eat first, let's eat first."
Anyway, you will inevitably get a beating. Don't worry about having too many debts, and don't be afraid of having too many lice. They will accumulate and you can beat them all at once. Making money is important!
Ye Chenghe touched his butt secretly, not knowing if he could withstand the beating later!
"Okay... You two go change your clothes first. You're all soaked. Check to see if the clothes at the door are dry. If they are dry, change them yourself..."
There is strength in numbers, and having many children is quite useful, but they all deserve a beating.
When Mrs. Ye returned home, she saw that Ye Yaopeng had already returned. They were still eating. She thought he was hungry and didn't say anything.
Only when she was talking did she realize that as soon as she glared at him, the two brothers Ye Chenghai and Ye Chenghe put down their bowls faster than the other and ran out immediately. Seeing this, the youngest daughter Ye Jingjing's hands trembled and she couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, for fear that the anger would burn on her...
Ye Yaodong had just finished his meal and came out with his three children, carrying a bucket. He was going to continue working while the tide was slowly receding when he saw two more people jumping out from behind him, and his ears were filled with angry curses.
"What did you do again? Your mother seemed to have eaten explosives today?"
"Oh~ It's hard to describe! Third Aunt is still the best. I didn't hear Third Aunt scolding anyone. Today, it was either my mother scolding or Second Aunt venting anger."
Ye Yaodong gave him a slap on the face. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say that to your elders? Are you itching for trouble? You're being beaten for a reason. If I had a son like you, I'd be so angry that I'd die. I'd probably beat him even harder than my sister-in-law did."
"Tsk~"
"Brother Ahai, my mother also scolds and beats us every day, but you are not at home and go to school every day, so you don’t know." Ye Chenghu said honestly.
Ye Chenghai was comforted instantly, "That's good, I feel balanced now."
"Why don't you go to school with us in the second half of the year? If we all go to school, won't you be bored staying at home? School is so much fun, there are so many classmates, and we can go to and from school together..." Ye Chenghe coaxed with ill intentions.
Ye Chenghu was also very excited. He also wanted to go to school, but, "But I have to do homework..."
“You can copy it~”
Ye Yaodong tapped his forehead and said, "Don't lead your brother astray. Hurry up and work for me. Pick up more good things. You can use the money to buy instant noodles later."
"Okay~"
The few of them stopped talking, excitedly threw off their slippers, picked up the small basket made by Ye's father, and waded into the water barefoot to fish in the muddy waters.
Soon, all the large groups gathered together, and the beach was bustling with people, all of whom came out to play in the sea due to the high waves caused by the typhoon.
It’s a good thing their house is right on the beach, so they’re one step ahead of others.
The children also learned to be smart in the afternoon. While saving their own money, they also found some worthless things to give to their parents.
As for how they judged whether the things they had could be sold or were valuable, they would of course pick them out for Ye Yaodong first when they found them. They would only throw the things he didn’t want into their own buckets…
Of course, their efforts were not in vain. In just one afternoon, they collected two full buckets of good stuff without being discovered.
With the expectation of a group of children, Ye Yaodong first took two buckets of their goods to sell. He did not plan to sell the ones he picked up himself. He did not need that little bit of money and would just keep it for his own consumption.
You know what, a typhoon was coming, the waves were big, and there were a lot of crabs. He caught 14 blue crabs of all sizes, which was the most he had ever caught.
As long as the blue crabs are not bitten by mosquitoes, they can be kept for several days. One for each person in the family, young and old, can be eaten for three days. It is a good time to rest at home during the typhoon and replenish your energy!
The kids also had a lot in their buckets. There were five or six blue crabs in their buckets, all of which they caught themselves. There were many people on the beach, and if they didn't catch them on the spot, they would have escaped and been caught by others, and they wouldn't have waited for him to take action.
With a bunch of change of a few cents in his pocket, Ye Yaodong felt his pocket was a little heavy, and his pants were about to fall down. He never expected that one day more than ten yuan would fill his pockets and make him feel heavy.
He also deliberately asked Ah Cai to give the change so that it would be easier to distribute to them. If they started fighting over uneven distribution and the change was discovered and confiscated, they would collapse and rebel.
A group of children were on the beach, picking up things absentmindedly while looking longingly towards the pier.
It was not until they saw Ye Yaodong's figure appear in their sight that they jumped three feet high with joy. They stopped helping their family pick up the trash and ran to the door of their home with their shoes on.
Mrs. Ye frowned and cursed, "You don't do anything seriously. You run away after working for a while. I didn't pick up anything valuable in the whole afternoon. I just picked up a small white pomfret weighing 700-800 grams..."
Mrs. Ye was also angry and said, "Isn't it? They didn't even offer to help out for a while. They just acted naughty and ran away all day long. I didn't have time to beat them up in the afternoon, and I gave them a good beating at night... They only picked up some clams for me in the afternoon..."
Lin Xiuqing chuckled not far away, straightened up and twisted her waist. She didn't want to pick it up anymore and planned to go back to breastfeed her baby.
There are some benefits to the old lady moving in. At least I can help her look after the children during this time, so she can also have some time to go fishing together. She picked up quite a lot in the afternoon.
Just as she was walking back, she heard a noise coming from behind her, and the sound was getting louder and louder, attracting people around her.
She saw so many people gathered there and walked over curiously.
"Ah, it's really a Phoenix snail, it's so big..."
"What good luck..."
"This one is so big, it can be sold for a lot of money..."
"It'll cost about ten bucks, right? This one is really big..."
Lin Xiuqing stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd, only to see a short and thin middle-aged man holding a very beautiful large conch in his hand.
It is estimated to be about 20 to 30 centimeters long. The pattern on its body is a bit like a peacock's tail, with even layout and colorful colors. The individual is large, and its tail is particularly pointed like a hairpin.
She was not from the seaside and did not know much about things, but when she saw this conch, she thought it was very beautiful. It was about the same size as the coconut snail she had seen, but its tail was a little pointier and longer.
After hearing everyone in the crowd discussing their envy, she left.
Anyway, it's not her who earns the money, and the money doesn't fall into her hands. It's enough to just take a look and know.
She mentioned this only after she returned to the yard and saw Ye Yaodong distributing the money to the children.
Ye Yaodong slapped his thigh in surprise and said regretfully, "Fuck, I came back too early! I was delayed by these bastards. It's a Phoenix snail, and it's 20 to 30 centimeters long. Damn, who picked it up?"
"I don't know! I don't know everyone in the village. I took a look and left."
"Was it swept in by the waves?"
"I heard that this is what happened. Are Phoenix conches very rare? I heard that just one conch can be sold for more than ten yuan. It's really valuable."
"Oh, of course it's valuable. This conch is meant to attract wealth and ward off evil. It's also called the Great Dharma Conch. It's an important weapon used by high monks in XZ. Small ones are average in value, but the bigger they are, the more valuable they are."
"Cut off the tip of its tail to leave a hole for ventilation. Then you can blow it out with a loud blast. The sound is as pleasant as a horn."
It is one of the four famous snails, but there is no saying of the four famous snails yet.
