As soon as they finished selling the goods and they were walking on the road together, Ye Yaohua happily asked his father, "Dad, you are so awesome. You found several waves of fish in one afternoon."
"ah?"
"Yes, Dad, will you and Dongzi go there tomorrow?"
"Uh...", the smile on Father Ye's face froze for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "It was Dongzi who sailed the boat this afternoon. He was looking for the fish, not me."
Both brothers were surprised, "Dongzi?"
"Is this the school of fish that Dongzi is looking for?"
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Of course!"
Ye Yaohua said with a naive smile: "It's amazing..."
"When did Dongzi become so powerful? How did you find him?" Ye Yaopeng asked curiously after finishing his surprise.
Ye Yaohua agreed, "That's right, how did you find it?"
There is nothing that cannot be said. He thought that he was just lucky to find it in the afternoon. He said casually: "Look at the seabirds. There are a lot of seabirds flying in the same direction. It is possible. I also guessed it. Death
Ma Dang is a live horse doctor, so just follow him and take a look."
"Oh...that's it..."
"Indeed, it makes sense. Generally, where there are seabirds gathering, there may be fish schools. Wherever there are fish schools, seabirds will definitely look for them."
"We harvested so many black mullet today. There were a lot of people asking about it at the dock just now. Most of us have encountered one or two waves."
"I don't know when it started. I've been fishing for squid around the island recently, and I haven't paid attention to the surrounding waters."
"Whatever, if you see it you'll arrest it. If you don't see it, there's nothing you can do about it."
"It just so happens that there are almost no squid left. You can try your luck with the trawl and see if you can catch a school of fish."
"I wonder if there will be tomorrow?"
"Just keep an eye on it while trawling..."
The four father and son pushed the trolley home and chatted. The fatigue in their bodies had been wiped away at the moment of selling goods, and now they were full of energy.
Ye Yaodong asked them to go back first. He wanted to send the hooks to be sorted out.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua's row hooks were sorted out by Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye. They were reluctant to spend money to hire someone to sort them out. It just so happened that the number of squids had decreased in the past few days, and they did not go out to sea with them.
The children at home will all die if left unattended for a few days.
After Ye Yaodong delivered the row hooks, he went to a grocery store in the village to cut an awning. It was said that the awning was actually a black mesh with holes. He didn't know what material it was made of. Anyway, it was cheap, but the sunshade effect was good, and the black color absorbs heat.
Tying one on the boat will make it less hot, which is much better than direct sunlight.
And because it is leaky, no matter how strong the wind is when the ship is sailing, it will not affect the navigation.
He spent 2 yuan to cut 20 meters of it. He didn't need that much on the boat. He only needed to cover the front half of the cabin. He cut more because he wanted to tie one to the door.
After all, their new home faces north and south, facing the sea. There is no shelter in front of it. When the weather gets hot, it will be very hot under direct sunlight and not as cool as in the village.
On the contrary, when the sun shines in winter, the doorway of their house is also very warm. The sun shines on them all day long, which makes them very comfortable.
Now that the weather is getting hot, tying a sunshade at the door will help keep you cooler. A few kids running and jumping around the door won't get so burned.
Of course, he was not that stingy and searched that much. The three brothers' houses were three rooms side by side. It was impossible for him to tie up just one piece at the door of his own house. He must have included the doorways of the two houses next door.
As soon as he got home, he asked his eldest and second brothers to help him cut it together, and tied two corners to the left and right roofs, and tied the other two to the bamboo poles.
"We'll buy a few meters later and tie it to the boat, so it won't be so hot during the day." Ye Yaopeng clapped his hands and said after finishing.
"I thought of buying it because my father told me about it today. I also want to take a piece of it for the door so that it won't get too hot when I sit by the door and weave a net."
"It's pretty good."
After finishing the awning, Ye Yaodong went to the back door to wash his hands and take a shower. When he saw Ah Qing leaning against the door and looking at him, he said in a bad way: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a naked man? Do you think your husband is handsome again?"
"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and glanced at him, "Why is he so handsome?"
"Mom, I know, dad is talking about crickets!"
Ye Yaodong glared at him, "What's the matter? When adults talk, why do children interrupt?"
"Just say~just say~"
Lin Xiuqing patted her eldest son on the back and said, "Go and eat quickly. You can join us no matter what the adults say."
"Hey, Brother Ahai just told us when he came back from school. He's so handsome. He's a cricket. I think studying is fun. Mom, when can I go to school with them?"
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "It's rare that when the sun rises in the west, you actually ask when you are going to school? Don't you usually say that you are going to herd sheep?"
"Haha, I don't want to herd sheep anymore. Dachuan fell into the ditch yesterday when he was tending sheep. The rope in his hand was loose, and two sheep ran away. His father's buttocks were spread open, and he is still limping when he walks today.
"
"That's right. I'll buy you a few cows. You probably can't even count them. How about buying a cow for you to herd? You don't have to worry about losing it."
Ye Chenghu hesitated for a moment. He felt that herding cattle was quite good. It was better than herding sheep. He didn't have to worry about being lost. He could also sit on the back of the cattle and run all over the hillside.
"I...think about it."
Lin Xiuqing secretly glared at Ye Yaodong. It was rare that her eldest son suddenly wanted to go to school, so he actually made a bad idea and asked his son to herd cattle.
She patted her eldest son's head unceremoniously and said, "Don't listen to your father's lies. Since you want to go to school, I will send you there in the second half of the year."
"Isn't it too early to start first grade at the age of six?" Ye Yaodong thought for a while, and it seemed that they all started first grade at the age of seven or eight. Unfortunately, there was no kindergarten nearby, otherwise they would have packed up and sent both sons away.
"It's okay, I'll just give you the money anyway."
"Then you have to figure it out! If you can send it there early, then go up there early and save yourself from running around all day at home. It's not even summer yet and it's already dark. If you continue to play like crazy, you'll have to catch up.
Me."
"Yes, Dad, why have you become so dark now?"
"You heartless brat, I just realized it now. Who did I become so evil for? It's not just for you to have enough food and clothing. Remember this. When you grow up, remember to be filial to me."
Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "It's so far-fetched, so hurry up and go in to eat."
She also tugged on her eldest son's ears and said, "I told you to go to eat first. I told you for a long time. Where did your ears go? Are you still lingering here because you want to be beaten?"
"I'm waiting for dad!"
"Let's eat your food. I don't usually see you so filial."
"Then you have to pack food for me first."
"Don't you know how to use a stool to rest your feet? You can search through cabinets, but you can't pack food in. Where is Yangyang? Where have you gone? You were still in the house just now..."
"He was playing bastard at the door..."
"I've been playing for a few months, but I haven't had enough yet. I'll stew it for your father to eat tomorrow..." Lin Xiuqing muttered, following her eldest son into the house to pack him some food.
Ye Yaodong poured all the water in the basin onto his feet, rinsed it and then followed them into the house, "What? That bastard is still alive? He just stewed it tomorrow to replenish it for me. He's been exhausted lately...
…”
Ye Chengyang happened to come in with a broken soup bowl filled with tortoise. When he heard this, he burst into tears immediately, "Don't eat tortoise, don't eat tortoise, my tortoise, mine, my tortoise, my tortoise..."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
"You bastard, then who am I? Shut up, if you cry again, you will be stewed now."
"Don't... don't... I, the bastard... can't eat..."
Lin Xiuqing wanted to laugh but didn't dare. She held it in and said, "Stop crying. Your father is joking with you. Go wash your hands and put on the table to eat."
"I want to hide it." After Ye Chengyang finished speaking, he wiped away his tears pitifully, and then ran into his room.
After Ye Yaodong scolded the brat, he put down the basin and went into the room to get dressed, taking a look at his sleeping daughter.
He is still so good, no matter how you look at him, he is pleasing to the eye.
After he kissed her face that was flushed from sleep, he also went out to eat.
"How about planting two trees at the door another day? It can also provide some shade." He picked up his chopsticks and said casually.
When he first hung up the awning, he felt that the open space at the door was empty, with no trees at all. There were only a few rows of vegetables planted next to the house. Planting a few trees in front of and behind the house can also provide shade and shade, and some green plants would be nice.
.
"What tree do you want to plant?"
"Panana? There are some to eat!" It happens that there are many children at home and there is not enough to eat.
"That's okay. You don't need to take care of the banana tree, and it saves trouble."
"Well, then I can plant them in front of and behind the house. When I have time, I can dig two trees in the mountains. There is no need to buy saplings."
In a few years, when the children grow older, the family house will be built with an additional floor, one for each child. When it rains, they can lie down by the window and listen to the rain hitting the banana trees.
"Dad, plant osmanthus. Osmanthus is fragrant. The osmanthus tree in front of the village committee is so fragrant. Our family also planted one at the door. It is fragrant."
"Dad, plant mulberries..." Ye Chengyang's eyes and nose were still red, and he did not forget to express his opinions.
"Yes, Dad, plant mulberries. The Okawa family also has mulberries. He shared them with us two days ago. They are delicious, sour and sweet. Let's plant one at our house too!"
"He was planted on the mountain, right? You can't plant mulberries in front of and behind the house, but you can plant two sweet-scented osmanthus trees."
"Why can't we plant mulberry trees?"
Lin Xiuqing explained: "Don't plant mulberries in front of the house, and don't plant willows behind the house. 'mulberry' corresponds to 'mourning', meaning mourning, which is unlucky. 'Liu' corresponds to 'liu', and the flow of water means that wealth will come from it."
Run away behind the house."
"Yes, that's what your mother meant."
"Oh, then use osmanthus. You can also plant the fragrant osmanthus, or plant bayberry? Grandpa's bayberry is delicious..."
"Grow loquats, plant loquats..."
"Don't think that as soon as it comes out, the rice will be sprayed all over the table. Do you see it? Pick it up and eat it."
The two brothers stuck out their tongues to lick the table...
Ye Yaodong ignored them and looked at Lin Xiuqing, "The fat man works in the town. I will tell him later and ask him to help find out where there are sweet-scented osmanthus saplings for sale tomorrow. Let him bring two in tomorrow."
"Don't worry, you can go and rest after eating."
"It's okay. I won't miss this for a while. I'll go to Ah Cai's place to settle accounts later. I'll just have something to eat on the way."
Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised, "Can you get the money from selling squid so soon? I'll get the order for you after dinner."
"Get a good morning."
"I see that the mullet written on the manifest you got back today is black mullet, right? There is a lot of it, more than 400 kilograms. Are you fishing for black mullet today?"
"I happened to encounter several waves of black mullet, but they disappeared after a while, otherwise I could have caught more."
"Oh~ I heard my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law chatting with Sister Lan and the others next door at the door. My eldest brother and my second brother also met yesterday."
"Um."
