Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 291

  Chapter 291 Beach Catch the Sea

  Accompanies his elder aunt's family to the old house jokingly all the way, before his buttocks are hot, Mother Ye sends him back to ask his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to come and help cook, and by the way, ask his elder brother and second brother to come and talk to his eldest uncle.

  Chinese New Year is like this, a bunch of relatives come and go, eat and drink, play cards, chat...

   It is not considered as the end of the year if the fifteenth year has not passed.

   It was just after the third day of junior high school, the weather was not good, and it started to rain lightly, and it continued to be cloudy and rainy until the first month of the month was almost out.

   They didn't even go to the grandma's house that the children were thinking of, and they didn't see the Lantern Festival lantern that they had been thinking about for a long time. The two children were very depressed.

  Actually, the bad weather was one reason, and another important reason was that Lin Xiuqing's stomach was already very pregnant, and she thought it could be hidden before.

  The Lantern Festival falls on February 27th in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, she is 7 months old. Although she can't see her belly in a loose padded jacket, she can still see her pregnancy when she walks.

  Nowadays people are very sharp-eyed, and they don't have to look at their stomachs to be sure. If someone reports it, they have kept it a secret for so long.

  He also asked someone to deliver a message. Lin's father and Lin's mother knew the situation long ago, and only let them come and hide when they need it.

  Ye Yaodong looked angry, crossed his hands on his chest, squinted at his two children, then reached into his pocket and took out 8 5-cent coins.

   "Twenty cents per person, no one is allowed to be angry?"

   "Huh! I'm going to grandma's house!"

   "How do I get there when it's raining? There are no lanterns and floats when it's raining, and you can't even get out if you go."

   "Then I want to go too."

   "Then you can walk by yourself." Ye Yaodong casually stuffed the coins in his hand to Ye Chengyang, "Your brother doesn't want it anymore. If you are obedient, I will give you all."

  Ye Chengyang nodded happily and took it.

  Ye Chenghu quit, turned around and snatched it from him, "This is mine, I can't give it to him!"

   "You don't want it!"

"I want!"

  Hmph, he can't be cured!

After finishing both of them, and sent them to play next door, the room was clean, and Ye Yaodong frowned and said: "We are going to build a house next to us, and you don't have to go out from now on, just stay at home and do whatever you need to do." Tell the boss to run errands, and usually close the door if there is nothing to do."

"I know."

  As the month got older, Lin Xiuqing also began to worry. She originally thought that no one around the new house would be able to survive until the end of life, but now she might have to hide for a while.

   Within a few days, someone came to measure the land next to their house, and before the first month came out, construction started just two days after the sun cleared.

  Every day around the house, there are working villagers coming and going, in full swing, and from time to time, they often sit at their door and chat.

  Ye Yaodong was worried, and every day he moved a stool and sat by the door to watch, afraid that as soon as he walked away, someone would come to his house to ask for tea, or borrow this or that.

  Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye went out to sea when the weather was sunny, and most of the villagers went out to work in the light rain one after another after the fifteenth day. Only he was still at home, and it was already February in the lunar calendar.

   Alas, it's not that he's getting lazy, it's that he's worried.

  His father and mother have been a little anxious these two days. It has been raining before, but it has started to clear up in the past few days. They come here every day to urge him to go to sea.

  At night, Lin Xiuqing also hesitated and said: "Or should I go back to my mother's house? With my parents here, I don't need to go out. If anything happens, I can hide on the mountain?"

   He was only worried when he hid in the mountains.

   "We also have a small hut in Chashan, where we can live in whatever we need..."

Ye Yaodong patted her reassuringly, "I'll be picking tea in a few days. The tea hills are full of people, so it's not easy to stay. It's okay to go to sea one or two months later. I made a few hundred dollars on the first day of the new year. It's enough to pay for a few months.”

   "That's too long, you can't do anything every day, you can only stay at home and watch over me, it's too late, you can go to sea with dad tomorrow, mother said she will come and watch every day..."

   "It has just cleared up for a few days, and the first month has only come out. Don't worry."

   "When you should go to sea, go to sea. My father and mother are also urging me. If I don't go this day, it is a day's loss. I won't go out anyway."

   "Oh, let me check the weather tomorrow first."

  He kept stroking her chubby belly with his hands, and felt the small bulge from time to time, but it disappeared immediately, and protruded again after a while.

  He was so curious that he searched back and forth on his stomach with one hand, but it disappeared after only playing for a while.

   "Still moving?"

  Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "I moved for a long time before I spoke, and I must be tired now and fell asleep."

  Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand regretfully, "How long is this?"

   "After 5.1."

  He calculated, "There are still about two months."

   "Well, hold on."

   "Are all the little clothes ready?"

  Lin Xiuqing rubbed her stomach and nodded with a smile, "Get ready, the sun has been shining for the past two days, and they have been washed and dried again."

  Ye Yaodong also felt a little more anticipation in his heart. The first two didn't have much sense of participation. This one came unexpectedly, but he always kept it in his heart.

  Persevere.

  Early in the morning of the second day, not long after the sun had risen, there was the sound of knocking and moving outside the house.

  The family can only get up sleepily, and can no longer sleep happily until they wake up naturally.

   "It's so noisy, why did they build a house next to our house? Is there no place to build it in the village?"

   "They think we are good here."

   "I hate it to death." Ye Chenghu was very angry when he woke up in the morning.

   "It will be fine after a while, and the sun is drying our buttocks, so it's time to get up." Lin Xiuqing said while putting on clothes for the two children.

  Ye Yaodong stood at the door and looked at the sky and the clear sky. The tide on the beach receded little by little. It seemed that there was not much wind and waves today.

   But Ye Yaopeng did not go to sea, but urged Ye Chenghai to hurry up at the door.

   "Is it windy at night?"

   "No, I want to take this guy to the pier in town to move goods for two days, and my father went with the second child at night."

   "Oh~ the good days are over~ you have to be self-reliant? Remember to honor your third uncle after earning money." Ye Yaodong patted Ye Chenghai's shoulder with a smile.

   "Does Third Uncle want to go together?"

   "No, I'll wait for your filial piety, come on boy!"

  Ye Chenghai's eyes were bright, and he nodded excitedly. For him, he can make money by himself, which is undoubtedly novel and worth looking forward to.

  Ye Yaodong lit a piece of wax for him in his heart, wish him luck, young man!

   "Father, is Ah Hai going to make money?"

   "He went to receive a severe beating."

"ah?"

   "When he comes back at night, you ask him if he is happy making money today? Is it windy at the pier, is the cargo heavy, are the steamed buns delicious? Are your shoulders okay?"

  Ye Chenghu looked at him in a daze.

  Ye Yaodong patted his head, "Don't imitate you, Brother A Hai."

   "Oh, Dad, the tide is low, can we go to the beach later? It's so boring, we haven't been to the beach for a long time."

   "Okay, I'll play with you for a while after breakfast."

   It's rare that the weather has been fine recently, so let's play with them, and they may not be free in two days.

  The two children ran into the house excitedly, urging to eat. School has already started, and everyone is going to school. They are at home alone, and they are very bored. It is rare to go to the beach to play, and they can't wait.

  Lin Xiuqing cooked noodles today, and one of them made a bowl for them to eat by themselves. They were so wheezing that they ate it quickly without being urged, and even drank up the soup.

   "If you go to the beach, check if there are no clams. Dig some and use it to cook soup. They are tired of eating radish soup every day. At noon, I stir-fry rice with rice and make a bowl of clam soup."

   "Understood, you close the door after we go out, and treat anyone who knocks on the door as if no one is at home."

   "Well, I'll catch up on sleep later, I haven't been able to sleep well at night because of my belly."

  Ye Yaodong nodded, and then walked to the beach with a bucket, two short-handled spatulas, tongs, and two children.

  At this moment, the beach has just been exposed, and no one has come to the beach yet.

  The two children ran excitedly ahead, before running for a while, Ye Chenghu bent down and picked up a sea urchin, "Ah, it's so prickly!"

   He was thrown back to the ground again.

   "Dad, we found a sea urchin!"

  Ye Yaodong trotted forward, picked up the 'undersea cactus' under his feet and threw it into the bucket, and praised them, "Good luck, I will find some more, and I will steam eggs for you at noon."

  Although the sea urchin looks unattractive in appearance, like a prickly pear, it is dark and thorny, but the sea urchin yellow after peeling is amazing.

  It is bright orange-yellow, with clear granules on the surface. One petal is about the size of a little finger. It does not need any seasoning when eating. It tastes light and sweet, with a natural ocean flavor, and the texture is light and smooth.

   Sea urchin yellow is also the only edible part of sea urchin, especially suitable for sashimi.

  Steam eggs with sea urchin yolk. The smooth and tender steamed eggs have a touch of plump seafood. Both sea urchin and eggs have their own unique deliciousness. Steamed eggs and sea urchin yolk are all in one spoonful, which fits very well.

"Yeah."

  The two turned around and ran on the beach~

   "Brother~wait for me~"

  Ye Yaodong saw a big snail buried under the sand next to him, which looked bigger than his eldest son's fist, and poked it with the tongs to dig it out from the sand.

   I saw it roll over a bit, and there was a small one next to where it stopped.

  The snail meat on the top of its head was still exposed, suddenly frightened by this, it was shrinking continuously, and when Ye Yaodong bent down to pick it up, the whole meat had been retracted, leaving only the cap.

  This hairy snail looks similar to a conch, but its head is pointed and longer than ordinary conch, and the outer skin is full of hair, and the color is completely different from ordinary ones.

   But the size is not small, and the snail meat inside is also very thick, which is absolutely delicious to eat.

  He also picked up the other small one and threw it into the bucket for lunch.

   "Dad, dad, here is a big ugly crab, it has eyes, it ran away, come quickly..."

  The two children were trotting and shouting excitedly.
