Ye Yaodong also walked to the side of the clay jar where his sons had placed it, and watched them squatting there, rummaging through it excitedly, taking things out one by one. He also walked around and looked over at them.
It feels quite novel. No wonder everyone is so excited. They rush home as soon as school is over. They don’t stay on the road and run to the beach as soon as possible.
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, I caught one..."
"I caught it too..."
Ye Chenghu also excitedly took out a big black seal from the jar, which was waving its tentacles and baring its teeth and claws. "It's so big! So big! Dad, this one I have is so big, the biggest one."
His face flushed with excitement, and his saliva was spurting out as he spoke.
This big black seal was a little too big, it looked like it should weigh more than two kilograms, and its head was bigger than his fist. Ye Chenghu's hands were also small, so it was a little difficult for him to grab one of its tentacles, and its mucus was too wet, so it was a little slippery to hold.
As the big black seal was squirming and struggling, he wasn't paying attention and fell directly into the water.
Although the tide had receded, there was still some water on the surrounding sea surface. As soon as the big black seal fell into the water, it waved its eight tentacles and crawled around in the water.
Ye Chenghu screamed and tried to catch it several times but failed. The other children who had been watching also stepped into the water excitedly to catch it, but their hands were small and the black seal was particularly slippery. The tentacles were covered with mucus and no one could catch it.
When I was trying to grab it, it slipped and only the palms were filled with slime.
“You are not allowed to catch it, you are not allowed to catch it, it’s mine, it’s mine…” Ye Chenghu yelled angrily, jumping and shouting.
Ye Yaodong saw the commotion here and hurried over. Seeing the children nearby bending over and pouncing on the octopus in the water, Ye Chenghu was almost furious.
A boy just happened to grab the octopus's two tentacles, lifted it up from the water, and raised it excitedly, "Haha, I caught it, I caught it..."
This completely angered Ye Chenghu. He angrily pushed the man into the water and said, "This is mine. It's my octopus."
"Ah, damn Ye Chenghu..."
The boy who was pushed into the water yelled a few words angrily and rushed up directly. The two of them instantly hooked their arms around each other's shoulders and started wrestling with each other.
"Ah, I'll beat you to death. It's obviously mine. I caught it from the jar..."
"Who made you fall into the water? I was the one caught, damn XXX..."
"mine… "
Ye Yaodong looked at the two boys fighting with a frown on his face. Before he could go up to them to stop the fight, all the children in his family rushed forward excitedly.
From one-on-one, it became one-on-many, and then many people fighting against many people...
Even the tiny little guy Ye Chengyang came up and stretched out his short legs, kicking and kicking, muttering, "I'll kick you to death, I'll kick you to death..."
Looks kind of funny...
Who doesn’t have a few brothers and sisters
Ye Yaodong shook his head with a smile, first took the little guy aside, and then shouted: "Okay, stop beating me! If you continue to beat me, I will tie you up and drag you back, and send you home one by one, and see if your butts will be beaten to a pulp."
The melee continued and no one listened to him!
Everyone was unmoved...
The fight is in full swing.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to step forward and rescue the person who was beaten the worst.
"Well, if you hit me again, you will be whipped when you get home."
A group of young men with the surname Ye, seeing Uncle San taking action, had no choice but to stop and curse.
"Don't steal our things, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"What's the big deal? Let me go. I want to go back and tell my dad..."
The little boy wiped his tears and snot, then ran back. A few children beside him also ran with him. They were his brothers and sisters.
"Hey, my dad is right here!"
Ye Chenghu was very proud!
"Brother, the octopus ran away..."
"Ah! My octopus..." Ye Chenghu jumped in shock, almost forgetting his octopus.
The fish had already swam out and ran quite far away. Ye Yaodong quickly grabbed him and called out to the children who were about to run forward.
"Don't go any further. I'll catch them for you. You continue to collect your bottles and cans."
"Then Dad, you must catch it back. This is the biggest one. I have never caught one this big before. You must catch it back..."
"I see, stop nagging..."
Ye Yaodong also rolled up his trouser legs and walked forward quickly in the water. Fortunately, the octopus was soaking in the water leisurely and was not in a hurry to run into the sea.
He walked forward, took the bucket, and scooped it in directly.
easy…
If you try to catch it with your hands, it may be difficult to catch as it is too slippery, disgusting, and will only make you look messy. It is much easier to just scoop it up with a bucket.
Seeing that his black seal was caught again, Ye Chenghu was immediately happy, "Caught, caught, Dad is so awesome."
"Well, fill it up with more water, so it won't be easy to climb out. Go get your bottles and cans."
"okay."
At this time, Ye Chengyang also excitedly caught a small white seal, which made Ye Chenghu nervous. He was afraid that he would take all the fish, so he ran over to continue his work.
Try to catch more for yourself and let Yangyang catch fewer.
After Ye Yaodong filled the bucket with water and put it aside, he walked around them again to see how much they had harvested.
Is all that added up enough for a bowl
There were also waves of sounds of surprise coming from all around.
This is fun and rewarding, which is very attractive to children. Every time they dig out an octopus, it is a surprise for them.
After Ye Yaodong walked around twice, they had all finished taking out the fish. They gathered together with their buckets and competed to see who had caught the most that day.
"Hey, I must be the winner again. I have a very big octopus. One of them can defeat several of you."
"But yours is only a black seal. Black seals are not delicious. White seals are delicious. White seals are the most expensive. Your big one is useless!"
"Hehe, that's also the biggest one..." Ye Chenghu was not willing to be outdone, "I also caught four small white seals."
"I also caught four..."
"I only have two white seals, and I have one red seal, which is just a little less than yours..."
They all reported the number at once, and Ye Yaodong stood aside and counted it.
good!
There are 22 pieces now, enough for two bowls, which will be enough to set up two tables tomorrow.
I mentioned it casually a few days ago, and unexpectedly it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. These kids' little tricks can actually bring some treats to everyone.
"We've finished the harvest, let's go home~" Ye Chenghai waved his hand happily.
"Can we wait until it's dark before going back, so that mom won't have anywhere to sell? Can we stay and eat?"
"Are you stupid? Isn't Third Uncle here? Let's give the octopus to Third Uncle to sell, and just say we didn't catch it today."
"Why???"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they were surprised.
Yes, Uncle San is here today!
A group of children all looked at Ye Yaodong with bright eyes, looking at him longingly. Uncle San was not available, and they hadn't bought snacks for a long time.
"Third Uncle~"
It was effortless and he didn't have to say anything. These kids just came to him on their own initiative.
Ye Yaodong touched his pocket, and the coins jingled. They all looked towards his pocket.
He smiled and said, "Then sell it to me. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"Ah? How much can this sell for?"
"We don't want money!" Ye Chenghai said quickly, "Uncle San, just buy me some instant noodles... It would be even better if you could buy me some soda..."
"Yes, yes, yes..." others quickly agreed.
Brother Hai is so smart!
"You guys are dreaming! How much is a white seal? A pack of Hongfa instant noodles costs 0.28 cents, and you want soda too. Why don't you go to heaven?"
What a cunning guy!
I want instant noodles and soda at the same time. How much does a white seal cost? I am calculating with my abacus, and I am thinking about it beautifully.
"Hehe~ We can catch more for a few days and give them all to you."
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll give you as many days as we want!"
"Uncle San, please~"
"Please~"
Ye Yaodong touched his chin and said, "Then how are you going to explain this to me?"
"Just say no!"
"There's no use hitting me! There's just no use!"
"Yes, I won't say no even if you kill me!"
"Yeah!" Several girls also nodded.
It's OK... They are all strong-willed boys and girls...
What does it matter if I get beaten a few times for a bite of food? It's a common occurrence anyway.
"That's fine! I don't care if you get beaten or not, it's all voluntary."
"Don't worry, Uncle San, we won't betray you."
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched.
"Dad, can I sell mine to you?" Ye Chenghu said in a low voice.
"Huh? You eat my food, drink my drinks, live in my house, spend my money, and you want to make money from me?"
Brat!
"Well, this is what I caught. If you want it, don't you have to pay for it?"
"Then I won't have to buy you instant noodles and soda, right?"
Ye Chenghu tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded, "I want money, not food."
It will be good when the time comes~
He thought proudly in his heart that it didn't matter if he didn't have it, Yangyang definitely had it.
Dad has bought things for everyone, so there’s no way he wouldn’t buy something for Yangyang. He can just eat Yangyang’s food when the time comes!
He is so smart!
