After sending both of them into the house to sleep, Ye Yaodong carried the large yellow croaker in the bucket to the corner of the house, closed the lid of the bucket, and wrapped the bucket with a piece of rags to prevent the bright light from getting in.
This is to isolate the light and make the large yellow croaker more golden in color. Unfortunately, there is no ice at home, otherwise it would be best to store it at low temperature.
In our country, gold has a better meaning, symbolizing nobility, being used by the royal family, and gold represents wealth.
During the Republic of China, Shanghainese would call a gold bar worth 10 sima liang "big yellow croaker" and a gold bar worth 1 sima liang "little yellow croaker". Gold is compared to yellow croaker, and eating yellow croaker is naturally related to wealth.
A yellow croaker is brought to the table, shiny and golden, which means prosperity. This is just like the Cantonese people love to eat Eastern Star Spot, which means prosperity.
Yellow croaker carries a beautiful symbol of wealth, and it is difficult not to become a favorite of Chinese people, so the golden yellow croaker is very popular in our country.
The large yellow croaker caught at night is more valuable than the one caught during the day, because the fish caught at night is golden, so of course it must be wrapped carefully.
As for the large eels and blue crabs, they can be placed in any corner and survive until tomorrow, so don't worry about them.
After finishing everything, he washed his hands and entered the house.
"It's so late at night and you're still up when you come back. What are you doing going in and out?"
Ye Yaodong stopped taking off his clothes for a moment, "Did I wake you up?"
"I didn't sleep, okay? I've been awake since you went out."
"Why don't you sleep? I'm just going to the beach. I'm familiar with the place, what's the worry?"
"I'm just messing around. I can't sleep because my breasts are engorged. Not long after you went out, your daughter started howling. I breastfed her for half an hour, but she didn't eat much. I was so engorged that I couldn't sleep."
Ye Yaodong took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed. He didn't even lift the quilt and just lay on top of her. "Shall I rub it for you?"
Lin Xiuqing patted his dirty hands off, "Don't bother, what's the use of rubbing them?"
"Then let me squeeze it for you!"
As he said that, he lifted the quilt off her body, and then lifted up the hem of her clothes...
She frantically tried to stop him, but he was still in his grasp.
"Let me rub it for you..."
…
Maybe the couple talked in low voices and disturbed the baby next to them, or maybe Ye Xiaoxi felt a food crisis. At this moment, she closed her eyes, opened her mouth wide and howled loudly.
Lin Xiuqing quickly pushed the giant baby away from her body. Without taking off her clothes, she turned sideways to pat the baby and coaxed her softly.
However, she saw the child keep burrowing into her arms, then familiarly picked up her rations, held them in one hand and started eating.
"So timely! This is because he sensed the crisis and woke up to protect his own food rations."
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, "I asked you to leave some for her."
Ye Yaodong laughed playfully, "I've eaten too much. Why don't you just go to bed? It's a pity that I can't sleep. There's a raging fire. Alas, it's a big sacrifice..."
"Hey, go to bed quickly. It's very late. Mom will come over to cook breakfast tomorrow morning, so you won't have to sleep."
"It's okay, I happened to get up early to sell goods."
"What are you selling? Did you catch anything good at night?"
"A sack of anchovies, just for making fish sauce, and two baskets of sandworms. I'll be busy tomorrow. There are also fifty or sixty kilograms of swimming crabs and stone crabs, and maybe a few ghost crabs. Tomorrow morning
You also need to sort them out and sell them."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised when she heard this, "There are so many goods, how many of you are going? It didn't take long, right?"
"It took two hours. Ayuan called Ahai. The two boys were very active. They wished they could clear out the beach. They couldn't bear to come back even if they were asked to come back. They were still thinking about the next time."
"Ah Hai has to go to school tomorrow. He's going out with you so late at night. If my sister-in-law finds out, she won't beat him to death."
"Whatever, it's not me who got beaten anyway, and it's not me who called him."
As he spoke, Ye Yaodong told her what he had seen and heard on the beach before as if it were an interesting story, which made her a little yearning for it.
"Why every time I go to the beach, I can only dig some clams and pick up some seafood. Sometimes I get lucky and pick up big fish or blue crabs, but you encounter good things every day."
"Because I have a strong shipping capacity. Others are looking for fish, but I am a fish looking for people!"
Lin Xiuqing thought about it, this was really the case, as the old saying often said.
The harvest from going to sea depends entirely on luck, so people at the seaside are particularly superstitious.
"Then when you have nothing to do, go to the beach more often. You can make a little fortune without going to the sea. If you come back with more seafood, you won't have to worry about food and drink."
"I plan to go to sea tomorrow night. I haven't been there for more than half a month. I have nothing to do at home. I want my mother to come over and sleep in the same room with you tomorrow night. She can also take care of the children at night. I'll go to the next door to lay the floor."
She nodded, "That's right. I originally thought so too. It's just that the old lady was not in good health some time ago. I was worried that no one would be watching the old lady alone at home."
"Is it okay to sleep in the house at night? I came here early in the day and ate and drank here. I seem to be in good spirits recently."
"Well, go to bed quickly. You still have work to do tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
After working for a few hours, he was really sleepy. After lying down, he closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
It's very easy to sleep, I can fall asleep as soon as I want.
Lin Xiuqing heard that he had just finished answering and started snoring not long after. He slept better than a pig. She couldn't help but cursed in her heart: I just said that I didn't sleep, how could he sleep? Now he sleeps better than a pig.
Still fragrant!

She was still very sleepy even now. She was lying on her side while breastfeeding and closing her eyes to rest her mind, but she fell asleep after a while.
They slept late at night, and the whole family slept soundly in the early morning. Even Mother Ye didn't notice when she came, but they were awakened by the sudden sound of ghosts crying and howling from the next door.
Ye Yaodong opened his eyes in a daze, and when he heard the noise, he mentally scolded Ye Chenghai.
He had clearly told him last night to make less noise and shout softer this morning, but it all fell on deaf ears.
Today’s pocket money is halved!
He wanted to close his eyes and continue to squint for a while, but the noise was getting louder and louder, and his mother's voice kept him awake.
Thinking that the two baskets of crabs at the door were still waiting to be sorted, he simply got up.
Seeing Ah Qing who had also woken up, he whispered: "You can sleep a little longer, it's still early, it's not 7 o'clock yet."
"Well, it was Ah Hai who was beaten, right?"
"Well, you bastard, you deserve to have your butt spread open!"
As he spoke, he put on his clothes and walked out.
There was still a blazing flame in the stove, and the porridge in the pot was cooking gurglingly. When he saw it, he quickly opened the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge with a spatula.
It looked like it was almost cooked, so I added two pairs of long chopsticks and arranged them in a tic-tac-shape. Then I grabbed a handful of dried fish and put it on the plate. I cut a few slices of ginger, patted the garlic, poured a little vinegar on it, and put it on the plate.
Steam on chopsticks.
After doing this, he walked to the door.
I saw Ye Chenghai being kicked out and running around at the door. He had not yet put on his clothes and pants. He was only wearing a vest and shorts, and there were red blood strips on his calves...
This was a beating in my sleep.
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard. You stayed up most of the night, ran around, couldn't get up in the morning, and turned a deaf ear to everything I told you..."
"Have you never been to the beach? Why don't you become a thief in the middle of the night? I have to go to school today. How many times have I told you? I'll beat you to death. What's the use of you?"
"When you are born, you will only be angry with me and run away...get over here..."
"Mom... I didn't, it's unfair... Who told you that I got up in the middle of the night to go fishing in the sea? I have been sleeping in the house and haven't gone anywhere..."
Ye Chenghai howled a few times. When he saw Ye Yaodong coming out, he quickly shouted to him: "Uncle, help me, please explain to me..."
"I can't explain those dark circles under your eyes!"
At this time, Ye Mu also scolded him and said: "I just went to the beach by myself. I even called Ah Hai. I didn't want to study in the first place, and my heart was even more wild..."
"I didn't call him."
"How did he know if I didn't call him? Both of them are so careless. It's all your fault. He should have been born to you. Your eldest brother has been obedient since he was a child..."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, aren't boys born naughty?
Can you still rely on him?
He didn't want to have another son.
"Mom, stop fighting. I really didn't get up in the middle of the night. I just couldn't sleep at night..."
"You're still arguing that your father woke up at night and saw you going to the beach with your third uncle."
"Ah, it turns out it was my father who betrayed me, oh~hiss~"
A heavy whip hit his thigh again, and there was another bloody mark on his thigh.
Seeing how pitiful he was, Ye Yaodong said with rare compassion: "Sister-in-law, it's almost time for school. Let's fight again when we get back."
"Yes, yes, mother, save it first..."
