After the family had a simple breakfast, Ye's mother also finished her work at home and came back to life.
Lin Xiuqing was going to have a sterilization operation this morning, and she came here specially to help them take care of the child.
At that time, if Secretary Chen hadn't helped to intercede, Lin Xiuqing would have been dragged to have a sterilization the day after giving birth. Now that she was in confinement, she had to go quickly to avoid making it difficult for others.
Lin Xiuqing squeezed out a large bowl of milk and kept it for Mother Ye for later use, in case she left and the child would not be able to eat.
In fact, it wouldn't take long to go to the health clinic in the town, but Ye Yaodong was worried that the sanitary conditions in the town were not good and there was no professional operating room for surgery, let alone disinfection.
I was also worried that if my skills were not up to standard, it would be bad for my health and cause various problems in the future, so I decided against all the opinions to go to the county town to do it, which would just take a little more time by car.
He was also considerate and brought an extra quilt. After all, she had just given birth, and he would wrap it up for her after the surgery. It could be wrapped in her when she got in the car, and it could also cushion the seat to make it softer.
He felt heartbroken when he saw that Lin Xiuqing had no color on her face after the operation.
"It's okay, we're going home."
She didn't speak, just nodded.
They were lucky enough to get back and forth today. They didn't have to wait too long to get a car. There weren't many people in the hospital doing the sterilization surgery, so it was done quickly.
It was just after noon when he got home, and he thoughtfully brought her tea and water.
"I'll ask my mother to stew two eggs for you first to cushion your stomach. I'll ask her to come over and cook for a few days during the day. You can just lie down and rest for a few days."
"It's just a minor surgery. Many women in the village have had it. Don't make a fuss about it."
In fact, she was very happy and benefited greatly.
"It's okay. My mother is free anyway. Find something for her to do so that she doesn't get sick."
She smiled and said: "Nonsense, there is a lot of work in the fields at home, how can she be idle? She even has to weave two nets in her spare time."
"Don't worry about it. Take good care of it. I'll go and tell you. Anyway, if you get scolded, just scold me."
Sure enough, as soon as he went out and told his mother to come over and cook for a few more days, he was immediately criticized.
"It's just a sterilization, it's nothing. The confinement period is over, and you can't cook yet? Whose daughter-in-law in the village still walks back and works in the fields after the sterilization, you are the only one who has a lot to do..."
"I am my own daughter-in-law. She feels pain. If you don't cook, I will cook. I just need to rest at home for two days..."
"Why are you taking a break? You are used to being lazy. When will you change your laziness? It's not your wife who wants to take a break, but you who want to take a break. Your eldest and second brothers went to sea at night, and you are still hanging around at home..."
"Everyone is thinking about getting a little more. The flood season will be over soon, and I still want to go with you. You are not in a hurry and still cook... Which man in the village cooks at home?"
Go out and make people laugh to death..."
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "What are you laughing at? What's wrong with men cooking? Men can't cook? Then aren't all cooks men?"
"You're going to piss me off if you don't do any serious work and still want to cook at home."
"Then tell me whether you can cook it or not?"
Are you still so confident? Ye Mu picked up the spatula and wanted to slap him on the face, "ZiZiZiZi, I owed you everything in my previous life, and you are the least worried. Your eldest brother and second brother should worry less..."
"It's quite worry-free. Last year, one person was defrauded of 1,000 yuan. Well, if I wasn't deceived, would it be equivalent to making 1,000 yuan? Damn it, I'm rich? If I don't go to sea for a month or two, I'll be fine...
"
After hearing this, Mother Ye almost lost her breath and swatted at him with a spatula. Fortunately, he quickly dodged it with his quick eyesight and hands.
"You bastard coffin boy will make me angry and I'll beat you to death."
Ye Yaodong laughed and said: "What are you so angry about? After all, Mom, you have made 1,000, and you were very excited at the time."
Mother Ye was very upset, "It's rolling, it's an eyesore."
"You stew the eggs first, and then just cook two bowls of noodles for a meal. It's almost 1 o'clock, so you can eat whatever you want."
After Ye Yaodong finished shouting, he walked out. The squid flood season was almost over, and he would not be able to catch a lot of fish in the future, so he had to arrange his longline fishing again.
He had to send the hooks in advance to have someone sort them out, and he had to ask Ah Cai to order the bait. The necessary preparations had to be done first, otherwise he would be temporarily blinded.
It is impossible to rest, and the pace of making money cannot stop. There is no way to make big money, but even small money can make a lot.
When Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua came back in the evening, they were also there to express their regrets. Today, they only caught less than 200 kilograms of fish even after picking and fishing. It may be even less tomorrow.
Fortunately, they hauled two nets and sold them for 20 yuan. Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also dug up a lot of shellfish, mussels, and sea melon seeds in their free time.
Ye Mu said while helping to pick: "Have you heard? Recently, because of squid fishing, many people have dug a lot of shellfish on the island. Just after dinner in the evening, I heard that there are several people in the surrounding villages.
Pearls have been dug out of the shells for several days, and some people have dug them out of oysters.”
I have been helping to take care of the confinement here recently, and she has lagged a lot behind on news, otherwise she should have known about it a long time ago.
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. When he went to the pier to buy fishing bait in the afternoon, he also heard that someone had dug up Pinctada martensi and found many pearls.
It's quite normal. Every year, pearls are unexpectedly produced in the surrounding fishing villages. It's hard to tell the quality and rarity of these randomly produced things.
For example, oyster pearls and Merlo pearls are very rare, which is no less than a lucky draw, while Pinctada martensi is more common. It is also one of the main mother oysters that produce pearls in the sea. It has a large output and good quality.
The depth at which Pinctada martensii inhabits is generally from near the low tide line to a water depth of more than 20 meters. Generally, it inhabits deeper in sea areas with strong wind and waves and unstable substrate. On the contrary, it inhabits deeper in sea areas with small wind and waves and relatively stable substrate.
The habitat is shallower.
It is estimated that these people also dug in the intertidal zone or low tide line, otherwise they would not have the ability to dive.
"Good luck."
In fact, Jiang Yao can also produce sea pearls, but the probability is a little lower, and the quantity is too much. If you dig them one by one, the workload will be too much, and with such a large quantity, who knows whether they can be dug out, it is better to sell them directly.
Save trouble.
The same goes for abalone. There is a probability of being produced, but the probability is low. If it is not produced, you will suffer a big loss. There is no need to bet on the ultra-low probability. If you sell it directly, the price will be more impressive.
The reason for the oysters and sea oysters was that because no one collected the shells, they pried them open and took them to sell at the stalls, so they pried them directly.
"Indeed, those people are very lucky."
"Let's open these..."
"Don't dream, there won't be any if you open it. Most of these are mussels and sea melon seeds, not even a single one."
What are you talking about? Mother Ye rolled her eyes at Ye Yaodong and said, "You can just dry it in the sun."
Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders. After seeing that they had finished picking a basket of shellfish, he went to fetch water to help wash them. After washing, they had to cook them. After they were cooked, they had to dig them out and dry them. The meat that came out was only a piece of meat.
A little bit.
It's very laborious and troublesome, so there are not many people who are willing to pry these shellfish. Those who don't have boats can't dig them, and those who have boats are not willing to do this.
Since there is no shortage of food, wouldn’t it be nice to cast a few nets during this time? Recently, some female comrades have taken the opportunity to dig some.
"Is Dongzi going to sea at night?" Ye Yaopeng asked as he squatted aside.
"Yes, I've sent all the row hooks to someone to sort them out. The squid flood season is almost over. Let's get some other subsidies."
"It looks like we need to fix it too."
Father Ye interjected: "Put in more row hooks. Recently, a lot of fish have arrived at the spawning season. I heard that there are quite a lot of small fish and shrimps caught in the trawl. They are not worth the money. It is better to fish with long lines."
Specializes in catching big fish.”
Both brothers nodded.
At night, when Ye Yaodong got up, he also changed his child into a poop bag.
I couldn't help it, it was so incidental. I heard her crying when I got up to get dressed. I wanted to pick her up and comfort her, but I smelled a bad smell and it stuck to his fingers. It was so sticky.
The sticky consistency instantly made his whole body feel bad.
If it weren't for the fact that she was so young and didn't cry when he hugged her, he would have wanted to spank her hard.
Lin Xiuqing woke up when she heard the child's cry, "Is she hungry and wants to eat?"
"You pooped and it got on my hands. I'll get some water. Just lie down."
After touching her, it was a natural thing to wash her butt. But he didn't know how to wrap the diaper at the back, so he left it to her mother to wrap.
Ye Yaodong scratched Ye Xiaoxi's little nose and said, "I've only ever changed your shit bag for you."
The corners of Lin Xiuqing's mouth kept rising, "You go to sea quickly, I will do the work."
"Um."
"I made you a hat yesterday afternoon. Remember to put it on the sewing machine."
"good."
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Yaodong also hurried out.
I finished writing it at noon, but I was afraid that you might think I was stupid, so I wanted to leave it to be updated in the evening. Since you keep urging me, I will release it.
Scold me, scold me, I'm ready to be scolded
Chapter completed!
