"Ahhhh~ There are so many more shells than yesterday..."
As soon as a group of children ran to the beach, they started shouting and shouting excitedly.
"My mother said this is called scallop..."
"Do you still need to teach me?"
"They are all shells anyway...there are so many...hahaha..."
"Pick it up quickly, while the tide is still low and no one has come here yet. There were a lot of people yesterday afternoon..."
"Yes, yes, pick it up quickly, otherwise the neighbor next door will run over again when he sees us here..."
"There's a crab, there's a crab, it's gone, catch it quickly..."
It was summer vacation, and a group of children were running wildly around the house. The boys and girls were just as wild. The girls didn't tell them to be nice and stay at home, but they followed the boys and ran around in the mountains and seas.
Each one of them is like a wild child, getting tanned by hanging out with friends every day. Even on a hot day, they don't mind the heat. Every day they come back sweating profusely and their faces are so red they look like they could boil an egg.
"Be careful and don't run ahead. The waves will come up and sweep you away..."
Lin Xiuqing saw the boys shouting excitedly, wishing they could all get soaked in the water, and quickly reminded them.
But before he finished speaking, a wave came up and attacked a group of children head-on. Everyone was hit by the wave and laughed loudly. They were all soaked and directly took a handful of seawater and sprinkled it on their faces.
Ye Chengyang fell to the ground due to the impact of the waves, and then sat up again with a confused look on his face.
Lin Xiuqing was worried that he would be washed away by the waves, so she directly lifted him up and put him next to Ye Yaodong, "You little one, please don't run around and stay by your father's side. Otherwise, if he is washed away by the waves, your father won't even care."
Know."
"Oh, mother, here you go..."
Ye Chengyang raised his hand high, and saw that he was holding a small white seal in his hand, and the small white seal's tentacles were tightly wrapped around his hand.
Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised, "When were you caught? Why didn't you say anything?"
"If you fall down, you'll catch it." Ye Chengyang is only four years old, and he still has a milky voice when he speaks.
Ye Yaodong also rubbed his head happily and said, "You're very lucky. I'll stew it for you to eat tonight."
"Dad, there are blue crabs, they are so big...ahhhh~ they ran away, ran away, ran away with the waves..." Ye Chenghu was also there yelling at this time.
When Ye Yaodong heard this, he quickly got up and ran over. He also saw the blue crab with a dark green shell, waving its big pincers and crawling arrogantly into the sea following the tide.
He saw it all, how could he let it escape?
"You are not allowed to run forward, Langda, I will do it."
He was dripping with water and chased forward quickly. The tide came up and filled his rain boots directly. The turbid sea water affected his vision. He almost let the blue crab escape, but luckily he caught it with his eyes.
The blue crab under its feet made it unable to move.
When he bent down to pick it up, another wave of water rolled over his head and covered his body, giving him a chill.
"Ah~ so cool!"
He wiped the seawater from his face, shook his hair, and walked back with a big green crab in his hand with a bright smile on his face.
Ye Chenghu screamed happily, "Ah ah ah, dad, you are so awesome, what a big blue crab, haha~"
Lin Xiuqing also looked up with a smile. The sunlight shining on Ye Yaodong's smiling face seemed to coat him with a layer of golden light, making him feel like a sunny boy, full of vitality.
Her breath made her heart beat a little faster.
The passion that had been gradually worn away by the dull daily life, because now his bright smile was rippling again, her heart also began to ripple, and she felt like she was back to the time when they first met, and he was so attracted to her.
.
Because Ye Yaodong had done a good job of sun protection during this period, his tanned face began to turn white. When he saw Lin Xiuqing looking at him with some obsession, his smile deepened.
He also touched his eldest son's head and said, "The one you found is yours. I'll let your mother stew it for you tonight. If you eat these two big feet, you will be able to run better tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!"
Ye Yaodong looked at the others, "The same goes for you, whoever catches it gets it."
"Uncle Third, can I sell it for money?" Ye Chenghai picked up a blue crab he caught at some point.
"sure."
"Then you help me sell it and then secretly give me the money, otherwise my mother will confiscate it if she finds out."
"What a good boy, you know how to hide your personal money."
"hey-hey."
"No problem, just put it in the bucket."
It was so weird that he kept holding it in his hand, probably because he was afraid it would be confiscated, so he didn't put it in the bucket, and he wasn't afraid of being bitten by the big pliers.
At this time, Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye also cooked the food and ran out with buckets.
Ye Chenghai was so frightened that he turned his back to that direction and quickly put the blue crabs directly into Ye Yaodong's bucket, "Third uncle, don't tell my mother."
Then he turned around and threatened a bunch of younger brothers and sisters, "You are not allowed to complain. When you catch good things later, you can put them in the third uncle's bucket. Don't put them in your mother's place. If you put them in your mother's place, they will be gone."
Already."
"I know, I know."
Everyone nodded, tacitly agreeing to give it to their mother, that is, meat buns beat dogs, and there is no return.
Ye Yaodong looked amused and glanced at the two sisters-in-law who were running over. He whispered: "Then this bucket is just for you. If you catch it, put it in here secretly. Don't let your mother know.
I will help you get it and sell it for money when the time comes, and sell it to you."
"Uh-huh!"
Everyone nodded, their faces shining brightly. They were even more excited to have the opportunity to hide their private money. They all secretly glanced back, and then continued to search. Those clams and small scallops on the beach were no longer allowed.
Their eyes widened.
Several children from nearby neighbors saw them running to the beach before the tide receded, and they also sneaked over it itchingly. When the adults in the family found out, they also took basins and buckets.
"Oh, there are so many clams and scallops on the beach today before the tide goes out..."
"A typhoon is coming. The waves are so big that everyone will be sucked in..."
"Quickly pick it up, pick it up and go home for a while to eat. Come back after eating. You bastards, don't just play in the water..."
After picking up for a while, Sister-in-law Ye found that her three children were wandering around. She didn't say anything to help pick them up, so she quickly cursed, "What are you doing? There are clams everywhere in this pile of rocks. Why are you wandering around? Hurry up and pick them up for me."
, if you don’t pick it up, go back and eat, you’ll all get wet from playing, and I’ll break your legs if you catch a cold.”
When Sister-in-law Ye heard the scolding of Second Sister-in-law Ye, she turned around and saw Ye Chenghe excitedly walking towards Ye Yaodong holding a large conch. She quickly stopped him and said, "Ye Chenghe, where did you take that conch?"
go?"
The excited expression on Ye Chenghe's face froze for an instant, with a sad face. He finally followed the waves and picked up a large conch, which was bigger than his fist.
He smiled and showed an expression that was uglier than crying, "Mom..."
"Bring it to me, why are you still wandering around there? I haven't seen you pick up a few things for a long time, you have been playing around there, Ye Chenghai... what are you laughing at?"
Ye Chenghai was gloating about his misfortune, but he didn't expect the fire to burn him. He quickly stopped his expression and pretended to be innocent: "No...no."
Seeing two clams and two scallops at his feet, he quickly picked them up and ran over and threw them to his mother, but was beaten twice by Mrs. Ye.
If you take the initiative to send it to your door, you will not be beaten in vain.
"I haven't seen you pick up two for a long time. What are you doing? And Jingjing, you damn girl..."
Sister-in-law Ye also followed up and scolded: "I don't know what I'm doing. I didn't pick up two for a long time. I kept playing in the water. When I go back later, I will peel off the skin..."
The two Hedong lions roared down, and they suddenly became trembling and stopped playing and talking. They all lowered their heads to look for them, showing their incomparable honesty.
After a while, everyone ran to their mother-in-law with hands full of clams and scallops to hand over.
But they didn't stay honest for long. After a while, they let themselves go again, and they were very tough!
Ye Yaodong looked at their buckets and picked up a lot of good things. It was worth being scolded and beaten.
After a while, there were gradually more people on the beach. They all looked at someone from a distance and spread the word.
He looked at the two large basins of clams and scallops that were already full. He also picked up a small half of the bucket of seafood that had been swept up by the waves, and said: "Take these back first, and have a meal by the way. Come out after eating."
, I starved to death after working for a long time."
"Okay, let's use an empty bucket to get a bucket of seawater, pour all this in and keep it."
"Um."
Lin Xiuqing shouted to her two sons again: "Okay, don't pick it up. Go home and eat. Come back after eating."
Ye Chenghu held two large conchs in his hands and couldn't bear to leave.
Ye Yaodong looked at it and wondered, "Picked up two snails? Take them over and go home."
He glanced at Ye Yaodong, then stole a glance at Lin Xiuqing, and whispered: "Dad, can you sell what I picked up and give me the money?"
"Huh?" Ye Yaodong knocked his head in surprise, "What a boy! Eat my money, drink my money, wear my money, spend my money, live in my money, and you still want to hide your private money?"
"They can all..."
"They are hiding it secretly. Do you still want to be honest? I think so. There are five packs of instant noodles at home. Do you still want to eat them? There is also malted milk. Do you want to drink them? I heard that eating them dry is better than drinking them with water.
It’s delicious. You can hear the particles of malted milk rustling between your teeth, and the whole mouth is filled with a rich milky sweetness. It’s very enjoyable.”
When Ye Chenghu heard his description, he couldn't help but swallowed. The milky aroma of the brew last night was enough to remind him of it, but he didn't expect that eating it dry would taste better?
Lin Guangyuan licked his lower lip after hearing this, "Really?"
"Of course! Pick up more after dinner in the afternoon, and with the money I earn, I will buy you instant noodles and malted milk."
Hearing this, Ye Chenghu quickly threw the conch in his hand into the bucket. Then when Ye Yaodong turned around, he stopped him and took out two more conchs from his trouser pocket.
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened!
What a boy! He's actually quite cunning?
Ye Chenghu touched the back of his head and smiled twice, "Haha~Dad~"
Lin Xiuqing was speechless. She stretched out her index finger and poked his forehead hard, "Are you still being petty? Are you short of food or drink?"
"Hehe~hehe~" Ye Chenghu covered his forehead with a silly smile and hurriedly ran home.
"You brat, you have quite a lot of thoughts." Ye Yaodong cursed, picked up his youngest son, picked up a bucket filled with sea water and shells, and followed him.
Lin Xiuqing walked aside and said angrily: "Isn't it all you? You said you helped them hide their private money..."
Ye Yaodong lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, "By the way, did you think I was so handsome just now? You looked at me and kept giggling, and your eyes became stringy."
"Where is it?"
Lin Xiuqing's face was red, and she didn't know whether it was because of the sun or because he was teasing her. She walked a few steps quickly with the bucket in her hand without walking next to him.
Ye Yaodong walked behind, looking at her back, the corner of his mouth was about to split to the back of his head.
Ye Chengyang held his father's face curiously, "Dad, what does drawing mean?"
"Children don't need to ask so many questions..."
The sun was shining brightly in the sky at noon, but it was not as bright as the smiles on the faces of the couple...
