Chapter 1053: Settlement (10,000 words, monthly ticket +26)

Although the flood season is coming to an end, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, not to mention that the ship has not been repaired yet. Ye Yaodong and his father still go out to sea to fish for squid as usual.

It was just that the weather was unpredictable. It had been sunny for more than half a month. At noon the next day, a dark cloud floated in the sky, covering the sky and darkening the sun. Everyone on the sea immediately hurried back.

At this glance, I knew it was going to rain heavily.

Lin Xiuqing at home also saw the suddenly darkening sky and immediately ran to the workshop

Thousands of kilograms of squid have been slaughtered every day for the past few days, and the open space is full of them. Even the dried ones she originally thought about drying for a long time today and then collecting them when the sun is good, but now she has to collect them quickly.

.

The boys in the workshop also quickly got busy, moving what should be moved to the squid. Most of these goods are hung to dry, and they are fast to be put on the rope. They are not afraid of overlapping and save space.

After the family moved all the goods under the nylon bag cover, they had time to take a breath, but their backs were covered in sweat.

Lin Xiuqing collected the dried squid in a sack with great efficiency, and cursed the weather forecast.

Last night, she heard the weather forecast, which said it was going to be sunny and cloudy, so she thought it would be good to dry it for half a day and put it away to avoid dew all night.

receive.

At this time, the air also contains thick water vapor. Fortunately, it is already half the morning. There was still sunshine in the morning, and the dew was wiped out. However, it started to hide behind the clouds. At this time, I felt the dryness

It’s not bad, it’s still acceptable.

Several people were busy working together quickly, and the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, and it was completely dark, but no raindrops fell.

They also raised their heads while closing, and looked at the sky from time to time. They saw dark clouds above them, but there were blue sky and white clouds on the other side of the sky.

The two extremes occupy the entire sky. Looking at it makes people want to curse, "God, you are moody."

After collecting them, they checked again and made sure that all the squid were hanging under the nylon bag and avoiding the edge. They felt relieved.

The quantity of this batch is much older. The three days' worth of goods from several ships combined has about 10,000 kilograms that have not yet been dried. However, the goods from the previous days were put away in time.

After completing all the inspections and work that needed to be done, Lin Xiuqing was wet with sweat as if she had been fished out of water. She stood panting. After telling her two younger brothers to watch the workshop, she went back to the workshop.

Walk home.

At this time, the wind also became stronger, and it was cool when blowing in the face. It felt like the temperature had dropped, although it was obviously quite high before.

Before I walked home, just after walking a short distance, huge raindrops began to fall from the sky. The nylon basins above the heads of the two workshops nearby were making a crackling sound from the rain, as if falling from the sky.

A pile of beans fell, and the rain became more and more rapid.

Lin Xiuqing didn't have time to run home before she was hit by huge raindrops on her forehead. Moreover, the sky became darker, as dark as if it was evening. The raindrops fell in front of her and formed a curtain of rain. She hurried back.

The old lady had already driven a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese back to the yard. When she ran home, there were already a bunch of poultry standing on the porch.

"Has Yangyang brought the sheep back?"

"I didn't see it. It's probably still on the way. It's not that fast."

Lin Xiuqing didn't pay much attention. It was raining anyway, so anyone who wasn't stupid would have known how to run back.

"It was still sunny in the morning, so I'm going to fall out. They all have to come back immediately from the sea. It's raining so hard all at once. It's already dark. It was half blue and half black just now."

"How about the squid drying there? Can it be moved to a better place?"

"Everything is done, and what needs to be collected has been collected."

"Then go inside and wait to take shelter from the rain. The rain is coming down hard and fast. It should only last for a while. It will probably clear up after the dark clouds have drifted away."

"Um."

It was raining and she couldn't do anything. She couldn't watch the TV or listen to the radio. She was just standing at the door. Lin Xiuqing simply went inside to make clothes.

Half a month ago, Aguang not only bought fabrics for two little girls, but also bought an extra piece and asked her to make a set for each of her two sons. She took advantage of her free time to make clothes for the two little girls.

It's exactly the same. The two sons haven't done the same thing yet.

It happened to be raining now and I couldn't do anything, so I cut it out first and took the time to sew it with a sewing machine.

It has been so hot these two days that all they need to wear is autumn clothes and a cardigan. They only wear one pair of pants, and the new clothes are just right for them to wear.

After this rain passes, it will probably get a little warmer again.

The old lady had nothing to do and sat at the door, spinning Buddhist beads and looking at Ye Xiaoxi.

It was raining, and Ye Xiaoxi was in a panic. He took a stick in his hand and kept poking the chickens and ducks on the porch, causing them to either coo or quack, and then flutter into the rain and run back from time to time.

The three geese in the corner didn't dare to provoke them. They had a fight last time. She also knew that these geese were not easy to bully, so she picked them up easily.

"Where's my sister~ So boring~ Where's my brother~"

"I'll be back in a minute. Don't mess with those chickens and ducks."

She squatted there with her chin propped up, looking at the rain dripping outside, helpless and unable to go out.

Seeing the old lady closing her eyes after finishing speaking, rolling the beads in her hand, she squatted there and took a sneak glance, then moved forward two small steps, then stretched out her palm to catch the rain, and then immediately put it away.

When I came back, I held my wet palms and played with them, my face brightened with joy.

I was just afraid that my laughter would disturb the old lady's chanting, so I quickly covered my mouth with my other hand, glanced aside quietly, and then continued to stretch my hand.

It wasn't until Ye Chengyang ran in soaked and soaked that Ye Xiaoxi shouted happily, "Brother is back~"

The old lady also opened her eyes and stood up quickly, "You're all wet. Come in quickly and get some hot water to wash yourself. Don't catch a cold."

"Mom, you have to play with water, you have to play with water~play with mud~"

Brother Keng’s little girl ran excitedly into the house.

In the past, she was beaten for playing in the water, but now she was finally caught.

After Lin Xiuqing heard the child shouting, she also put down what she was doing and came out first.

Ye Chengyang also stared at the screaming little girl depressedly at this time, "Nonsense, I saw it raining, and then I came back with the lamb."

Lin Xiuqing also pinched Ye Xiaoxi's nose, "Is this a random complaint? Will it happen again in the future?"

"I play in the water every day, and you still talk about me."

Ye Xiaoxi laughed so hard that he hid behind Lin Xiuqing.

The adults in the house ignored her. The old lady took the basin to get hot water for Yangyang. Ah Qing also went into the house to get clothes for the child and asked him to take a bath and change into them quickly.

"Where's the lamb?"

"I tied him to the shed at the back door."

"Why is there mud all over you?"

"It was raining and the ground was too slippery. I fell down several times. Then the lambs were still running around. I was dragged by them and kept falling."

"Um."

Ye Xiaoxi failed to trick her brother, so when she had nothing to do, she ran to the back door to see the lamb, and even imitated the lamb's bleating. It was obvious that she was bored and panicking.

Fortunately, when Ye Chengyang finished taking a bath, she had company.

Ye Yaodong arrived home more than an hour later. There was no doubt that he was soaked in the rain and got home soaked all over.

The same goes for the two brothers next door. They were only a short distance away from home. It was raining so hard that all the fishing boats on the sea had to rush back.

Everyone is also thankful that the squid flood season is almost coming to an end.

The rain continued until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, then it stopped sparsely, and the sky slowly started to light up again.

Ye Yaodong was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of rain falling on the eaves outside. The light coming from the window became brighter, so he opened the window and took a look. Sure enough, the rain stopped and the air outside was also clear.

The fragrance of earth after rain.

He fastened the iron hook on the window and left it open to get some fresh air. Anyway, it wasn't raining anymore, so it couldn't get in.

Then I put on my clothes again and went out to take a look at the workshop. When I came back in the afternoon, I saw the guard poking the nylon tent on the top with a stick to let the water pour down.

When I came out now, there were still people walking inside with sticks, and the water on the ceiling was almost empty.

After walking around for a while, everything seemed normal. He just had to wait for the weather to turn fine, so he said a few words and sat at the door again.

A group of children also came back from school. They were all running around with lotus leaves on their heads, and their trousers were the same color as mud.

The first time Ye Chenghu arrived at the door of his house, he shouted, "Dad, you are at home, so why didn't you give me an umbrella or pick me up on your bicycle?"

"Come on, why don't you wash my bike? It's such a muddy road in this weather, not to mention it's stopped raining. I don't need an umbrella. Why don't I just walk back?"

"It also rained just now. Look, I'm all wet, including my shoes."

"Go, go, go take a shower and change your clothes."

He immediately ran into the house and said, "Mom, can you use the washing machine to wash the clothes later? It's raining and it can't be dried. You have to use the washing machine. I can help you wash it. Hold it down and prevent it from running around."

"You take a shower first and change your clothes first..."

"Then you have to wait until I finish taking a shower before letting me wash my clothes. Don't put them in secretly and wash them first. You have to wait for me."

"I know, are you bothered..."

When it rained heavily at noon, the power went out for a while. When the rain almost stopped, the power came on again.

Their house does not use electricity during the day, and no house in the village turns on the lights during the day, so the voltage of the washing machine is stable when used to wash clothes, unlike the refrigerator that consumes electricity by running all the time.
