The hair on the hair stands on end
Ye Yaodong listened to the random talk in his ears and stood for a while. There was no movement for a long time. He felt that it was a waste of time. When he was about to leave, he saw the heads of people in front of him shaking, accompanied by the noise coming from the crowd.
"Coming, coming, coming out..."
The villagers on the three floors outside and on the outside were all excited. It felt as if some big leader was coming. They all stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, trying to see the true face of Mount Lu.
The crowd also moved out of the way, and Ye Yaodong could clearly see the smiles on the faces of the village committee members, and his cousin-in-law also came out with a smile.
It seems that there is nothing unpleasant, and it feels like we are having a good time talking?
"Okay, there's no need to send it away again. We'll get to know each other better and we'll come to your door again..."
Secretary Chen also said with a smile: "The selection of households worth 10,000 yuan is a big deal. You must understand it clearly. Don't worry. When the county understands it clearly, there will definitely be a commendation meeting..."
Sister-in-law Ye Datang nodded desperately with a smile on her face, "Hey, okay, okay... It's my fault that I, a village woman, don't know much about men outside. I only know that he has made a lot of money doing business. He should be back in a few days. By then,
I'll go tell the secretary..."
The group of people all smiled and nodded, then walked out...
Ye Yaodong touched his chin. His cousin-in-law probably didn't know what was going on. Therefore, it was difficult for the county leaders to confirm it directly. They probably had to find out and wait for his cousin to come back before making another trip.
As for the fate of coming back, it's hard to say...
The village committee members kept laughing and followed the county leaders to the commune, followed by a large group of villagers who didn't see enough of the excitement.
Ye Yaodong waited until they were far away before walking towards his hall sister-in-law. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw a group of women had gathered around her. They were all asking when she would be in the newspaper or on TV.
?Can they invest any more money in the business?
The corners of his mouth twitched and he stopped.
Forget it, there is no need to be curious about this.
Since I just said that people will come back in a few days, we will know how it will develop in a few days.
He changed direction and walked directly to the side road, heading towards his hometown.
Ye Mu was beating quilts at the door. The door was propped up with bamboo poles and a pile of quilts and clothes were hanging out to dry.
His little sister seemed to have just washed her hair and was wiping her hair with a towel at the door with her head lowered. There was a stool and a basin of water next to her.
The old lady couldn't sit still. Her father was cutting bamboo strips nearby, and she was also weaving bamboo baskets there.
"It's quite comfortable, everyone is basking in the sun."
"Dongzi is here, come here and sit here and bask in the sun." The old lady happily greeted him and asked him to sit next to her.
Ye Mu also asked curiously at this time: "Dongzi, did you hear on the way that the county leaders went to the countryside to visit your cousin's house when you just came here? I heard that his family has a household worth ten thousand yuan, and how did I hear that?
What else do you have to say about going to your house?"
"I had been washing clothes at the back door just now without knowing it. When I came out to dry the clothes, I heard the neighbors talking about it. What is going on?"
Ye Yaodong used his own excuses again. Of course, he still said that the village committee had got the name wrong, so he went to his house. Later, his cousin-in-law jumped out and went to Ye Yaohong's house as a matter of course.
"It's a pity. If you were a householder worth ten thousand yuan, you would be in the newspaper. I don't know what kind of rewards are there? It's easier for them. They are already so rich, and there are rewards..."
He nodded casually and refused to answer the mother's words. He turned to look at his father and said, "Let's take a look in the afternoon. If there are no storms, make preparations and go to sea at night."
Father Ye nodded.
Ye Huimei next to her also said excitedly: "It just so happens that the weather is good today. It has been rainy for so many days and it has finally cleared up. The weather should be good tomorrow too. Mom, let's go to sea with the third brother at night. It happens to be the first day of the new year tomorrow."
Mother Ye patted the quilt with a stick and said, "Fortunately it has cleared up, otherwise we still wouldn't be able to go."
"I don't want to bask in the sun comfortably at home, I have to go to the island to enjoy the cold wind..." Ye Yaodong said angrily.
"Taking on the sea is very interesting, third brother. Wear a hat, a scarf, and gloves so you won't be afraid of the wind."
"Whatever!"
In fact, Ye Yaodong just said that he still didn't trust them when they went to sea at night.
After hanging the bait and lowering the hooks, he dragged a net near the island while it was still dark. He waited until it was completely bright before collecting the winching gear. Then he gave the goods to his father to sort out, and he took the boat to the oarfish island.
Drive away.
That uninhabited island has been directly named Oarfish Island by him...
It was around 7 o'clock when the fishing boat docked, and the tide began to ebb at 6 o'clock. At this time, the water level was quite high in some places. Ye Yaodong walked around the island and stopped around a low reef.
Then he helped his mother and little sister carefully get off the boat and climb onto the rocks.
There were densely packed mussels growing on the rocks, and some spicy snails were clinging to them. As soon as Ye Huimei stood on them, she happily bent down to pick them up, but she happened to take aim at the one with a particularly big head.
The snail meat was adsorbed on it with great force. She pulled it out hard, her body swayed and she almost fell. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong held her back by the collar and stabilized her.
He said sternly: "Why are you so anxious? We are the only ones on the entire island, and you are still afraid of not being able to dig it out? You stretched out your hand when you stepped on it before you could stand firm, and you didn't know how to be careful. There are sharp rocks on the bottom.
Spat and all kinds of shelled ones, if they fall down and hit the back of the head, what will you do?"
Ye Huimei had never seen him so stern before. She was really frightened and felt so guilty that she didn't dare to say a word.
Ye Mu also scolded: "You are so old, but you still don't know how to be careful. The wind is so strong that it can blow you down. You won't have time to dig again next time."
Ye Huimei lowered her head in grievance, "I was wrong, I was just too excited. I must be careful next time."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about her. Let's go down first. It's a bit high here." Father Ye quickly smoothed things over. "The water level where a little sand is exposed in front is a bit shallow and it's not easy to get to the shore. I can only stop here. First
Let’s talk about getting off the rock.”
Ye Huimei walked down very carefully using her hands and feet, and Ye Yaodong also went up to support her.
The exposed beach area underneath is less than ten square meters, but the tide is receding, and a larger area will be exposed in the future.
As soon as they stood still on the beach, Ye Yaodong saw the sea water washing in front of them, and there was a big octopus rising and falling with the waves.
He trotted up and clamped it with a poker to prevent it from being washed away by the sea water, and then he bent down and grabbed it.
The flailing tentacles instantly wrapped his arm tightly, and the slippery feel and tight adsorption force made people feel sick. After he caught it, he walked back.
Ye Mu said happily: "Dongzi reacted quickly and caught a big red seal in one go. This one is quite big."
Ye Yaodong used both hands to grab it from his hand and threw it into the bucket. But after a while, its tentacles climbed up the edge of the bucket again, trying to escape, so he had to grab it and throw it into the sack.
"Let's start, let's start. Be careful, don't climb up and down. Dig out the good stuff first, especially Comrade Ye Huimei. If something goes wrong, I won't bring you back again."
After Ye Huimei recovered, she was no longer afraid of him, and snorted twice, "Next time, you won't bring me here either."
"That's right, you will soon belong to someone else and will no longer be under our control. We will pack you up and send you away as soon as possible."
"Humph, you used to speak ill of Brother Guangzi in front of me every day, but now you want to kick me out quickly. Third brother, you are so fickle!"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and said, "The future is promising. If you two or three of you don't have any objections, why don't you get married as soon as possible to save trouble? If you don't stay in college, you will become enemies if you stay here or there! Do you understand?"
"Get out of here and drag your net."
"I'm not going, I'm going to watch you today."
Looking at his little sister's frizzy look, he and his father had better keep a close eye on her. It was just a waste of a day, and he didn't miss this day, so he wouldn't be in trouble.
"Aren't you going to trawl the net?" Ye Mu had just used a flat-blade screwdriver to pry off the two small abalones (small pot lids) when she heard that he couldn't stop talking and asked quickly.
"It looks like there isn't much to catch today. I just dragged a net full of toad fish. It doesn't matter whether I drag it or not. Why don't I accompany you to dig more seafood and dry it more."
"That's okay. If there are more people, we can dig more and save more for the New Year. Then there will be fewer and fewer people going to sea."
Father Ye didn't have any objection, it was just work. He took the sack and started working immediately.
Ye Yaodong temporarily threw the sack containing the octopus aside, then took another one from the bucket and shook it open. Knowing that they were going to sea fishing today, they had brought extra sacks, so they were not afraid of running out of things to pack.
As usual, he followed his personal habits and searched around before finding a good location. He first dug out the location where there were many small abalones (small pot lids).
There are many people, and time flies by just chatting, but the island is windy from all sides, and the sea breeze is particularly strong, blowing in every corner and making it chilly.
He deliberately brought the woolen hat and scarf that his wife had hooked up on the bed while she was free a few days ago, but the wind still stung his cheeks, even if his back was turned and he occasionally raised his head.
I glanced at the other three people who were digging vigorously, and they all had their backs to the howling northwest wind.
I feel like I need to ask his wife to make a few more masks when I get back. I can just grab a piece of cloth and sew a seam to cover my face. Otherwise, it will be too uncomfortable to blow on my face like this.
To be honest, his skin is quite tender now. It would be better if he could keep it and not be blown away by the sea breeze.
His head kept spinning, but the movements of his hands were not slow either.
After digging out a large piece of small abalone (small pot lid) in front of him, he didn't bother to waste time looking around. He then picked up the spicy snails, flower snails, cat's eye snails, bergamot, etc. adsorbed on it, planning to go back and pick slowly after digging.
Except for mussels, sea melon seeds and spat, everyone else is welcome.
These three quantities are too large, so it is better to pack them in a separate sack.
After he diligently was about to fill a sack, he twisted his neck and waist, paused for a while, and then dragged the sack aside.
There were already two large sacks placed on the open space next to him. He turned around and took a look. His parents were now holding empty sacks. They had dug these two sacks.
Sure enough, Ginger is still the hotter, and they are still faster.
He then picked up another empty bag and unfolded it as he walked, taking a look at where the tide had receded in front of him.
However, with just one glance, his eyes widened in shock, his pupils tightened, his heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his hands stood up.
No...
This kind of thing happened to him...
