Several people happily carried the goods onto the boat. Ye Yaodong piled the goods dug by his father-in-law and his mother-in-law into a separate corner.
"You can take these back if you pick them up yourself, or you can decide for yourself what you want to sell them for."
"Let's take these shelled ones back. You can just sell them with the squids. They are all from your own family..." Father Lin said with a smile.
"No need, we have already caught so many baskets, you just keep the ones for yourself. That bag should be about a hundred catties, and it can be sold for around 30 yuan, which is quite a lot."
Mother Lin smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "So much? You can earn so much after just one day of hard work."
"It's not possible to go to sea every day. From the beginning of the new year to now, we can count on dozens of fingers the number of times we have gone to sea, and it also depends on luck."
Ye Yaodong said as he started the boat, but he felt that the tide was a bit shallow. He pressed a long bamboo pole against the rocks on the shore, stretched it slightly, and then drove the boat to the other side of the island, preparing to take Ah Zheng Xiaoxiao away.
Call me and go back together.
I don’t know how many squid they caught in the middle of the afternoon? Until now, they haven’t come to see them yet and are still working.
When he had just sailed the boat away from the shore, they also drove over.
"Are you willing to come here? I thought I had to go over and call you before you were willing to go back."
After the two boats approached, Xiao Xiao stretched his head to look at their harvest and asked, "Didn't you waste some time in the afternoon and cast two more nets? How many have you caught?"
"I picked up two baskets in the early morning, divided up one and a half baskets, and caught 6 baskets myself. I suffered a huge loss because the father and son delayed me and caught several nets. Otherwise, I could have made a few more baskets."
Azheng also said: "Isn't that right? We didn't dare to rest all afternoon. We all wanted to seize the time to catch a few more nets. Now our arms are so sore that we can hardly lift them. We are exhausted."
"Fortunately, there is compensation. Let's go back first. It's too late. Let's talk about it later."
"Yes, go back first, go back first..."
The two boats moved forward at the same time, and sometimes one behind the other.
There were also many fishing boats eager to catch more nets. As they approached the shore, the surrounding sky had darkened. There were many boats on the sea that had just returned, and all of them had their headlights on.
Father and Mother Lin didn't even keep the bag of squid, they sold it all. How could they bear to carry it back and eat it? It cost dozens of dollars.
After the whole family sold the goods, they all went home happily. The fatigue that was originally on them disappeared without a trace after the goods were sold and the money was collected.
Mother Ye had been waiting at home. When she saw them coming back dressed in stars and moonlight, she went to welcome them.
"How was the harvest today? How many loads were harvested? Are your parents okay?"
"The harvest is very good. We picked up more than a sack of squid on the island. Even if the price is reduced, we can sell it for more than 35 yuan. But it is really tiring to go to sea. We go out in the dark and come back in the dark."
"It's like this. It's not bad if you can sell it for more than 30 yuan. In the past, trawling nets would only sell for 30, 40, 40, 50 yuan a day. You guys should go wash your hands quickly, eat first, and talk while eating."
"Hey, okay..."
Mother Ye saw Ye Yaodong carrying two more sacks of goods from the truck. She went over to take a look and said in surprise: "Do you still have time to dig this?"
"My mother-in-law dug it by the way. Ayuan also went to the mountain to pick up a bucket of seabird eggs. You can take them in and boil them..."
"Ah? Ayuan, you even picked up seabird eggs!"
"Wow, there are also seabird eggs!"
"Show me, show me..."
"How many did you pick up?"
"So many!"
"Ah ah ah, why did you pick up so many seabird eggs?"
Before Ye Yaodong finished speaking, the group of children who were talking around Lin Guangyuan rushed over excitedly to see the seabird eggs. They were all extremely envious.
"Third uncle, when will you take us there too?"
"Yes, Dad, we also want to dig out seabird nests..."
"Yes, yes, third uncle..."
"Go, go, don't get in the way here, I'm exhausted, I'm going to eat." Ye Yaodong looked at the children in front of him, and his head felt big.
"Third uncle, you can't be partial..."
"I'm biased, I'm biased. Why don't you ask your father to take you there? If you go ahead and quarrel with me again, you won't have a share in the boiled seabird eggs later."
"This is not the egg you picked up!" Ye Chenghu muttered.
The others also nodded and glanced at him with their little eyes.
Ye Yaodong knocked Ye Chenghu on the head, "What if I didn't pick it up? Lin Guangyuan took my boat, and I didn't even confiscate his fare. This bucket of eggs is just right to honor my sister-in-law and uncle."
Lin Guangyuan rolled his eyes, "Then you take me there at night and I will pick up more."
"Aren't you tired?"
"I'm not tired. When I wake up, I'm a dragon again!"
Mother Ye smiled and said, "Go in and eat first. Don't make any noise. I'll cook a seabird egg for each of you."
"Okay, okay~"
Everyone cheered.
When Ye Yaodong was about to enter the house, he saw a small nest in the corner of the door with several fluffy chicks in it. He was a little surprised and asked, "When were they hatched?"
No wonder when I just came back, I saw a group of children gathered around and thought they were playing something new again.
"It hatched a few days ago. Your grandma took care of it at home and let the hen take care of it for a few days. Later I thought about bringing the hen and the chicks together to raise them. Just 15 of them hatched. You guys
There are five in the family. Tomorrow I will tie marks on the chicks' feet and put them together to raise. I also sent your aunt 10 eggs and hatched 7 of them. I will keep them for myself."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Is there anyone who can catch ducks? You can help me catch a few more ducks. It happens to be by the beach, so it's easy to keep them free."
There are a few chickens and ducks in front of and behind the house, which is also good. When the time comes, it will be better to pickle the sea and duck eggs. The oily yolk is full of salty fragrance and is better paired with porridge.
Just thinking about it makes me feel very beautiful, and I can kill one whenever I want!
"Then you have to ask."
After hearing this, Mother Lin interjected: "I want to raise ducks. The ducks at home are about to hatch, and it will be about 20 days. I will send you a few by then."
"That's too troublesome. It's so far away. Let's ask in the village first."
"No trouble, no trouble."
After they all entered the room to eat, a group of children began to gather around the corner to look at the chicken, and from time to time they would touch it with their hands.
As soon as Ye Mu put the seabird eggs into the pot, she went to the door and shouted: "Don't catch it, don't crush it to death, and don't touch it. If you touch the straw bag, it won't grow big."
Seeing that none of them had ears, Mother Ye drove them all away, "You all go and play. Don't get in the way here. The chicks and hens are going back to the cage."
If you touch it any more, a few of them will die.
"Are the seabird eggs ready?"
"What's the hurry? I've been thinking about playing all day long, but I've been thinking about eating!"
"What if?"
"Have you done your homework?"
For a moment, the group of people fell silent.
"You said that you are all alone, you have been back for such a long time, you haven't done your homework, you just played there, it's dark, your mother has also gone to sea recently, you have no one to care about you, and you haven't done your homework...
"
Ye Mu started a new round of talking.
The children were not afraid of her, they were thick-skinned and started laughing and joking again.
Anyway, grandma doesn’t hit anyone.
Mother Lin also smiled and said: "The same is true for several of our grandsons. They are either thinking about eating or playing all day long. If we ask them to go up the mountain to pick a fruit, they will run more actively than anyone else. If we ask them to work, they will disappear."
Father Lin also said: "It's normal for children to be playful. How can we expect them to go to college and know a few characters? Don't be like us and just don't know a few characters."
"That's..."
There is no update at night, so don’t wait. Updates will be irregular during the New Year days.
