Sister-in-law Ye also frowned, "You are simply not human. We are not allowed to have more children now. It would be so heartbreaking to lose this child."
"That is to say, the previous generation had more than eight or nine children, and even one or two who couldn't support them would feel distressed, so only the cruel ones would think it doesn't matter. Fortunately, our village has not lost any children."
"I almost lost it. Fortunately, everyone in our village paid close attention during the Chinese New Year. When the salesman came into the village with his load, everyone stared at him from beginning to end..."
"I heard that our village was praised for its success in catching human traffickers, and they said there would be awards..."
The topic suddenly changed, and they no longer struggled with asking Mother Ye to help.
Lin Xiuqing had heard about it a long time ago at home and did not express any opinions. Instead, she touched the heads of her two sons and told them not to cause trouble and to work seriously.
Mother Ye also stood there for a while, then called her two sisters to go back and continue killing fish. The two daughters-in-law were reluctant to spend money to hire people, so they had to do it themselves. If she could free up her hands, she would help. If she couldn't, then that's okay.
no way.
She looked at Father Ye who was squatting, "Have you finished moving these shells? Can you go in to eat first?"
Father Ye nodded.
However, as soon as he entered, he poured the vegetables on top of the rice, put it in a big bowl and brought it over. He squatted beside the pile of shells and watched several children working while eating.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were the same. The father and son each held a big bowl and either sat on the steps or squatted there to watch everyone working and eating.
By the way, let me discuss a few words, how much can these dug out be sold for? Can they be sold?
"We have as much of these things here as rice. Everyone doesn't like to eat them, and they are too lazy to dig for them. Will people outside like them?"
"After being able to buy and sell in the past few years, we have more food to eat. Will people outside like to eat the food from our country and the seaside? There is not much meat in these shells. No one wants to give it away."
As soon as the two brothers said these words, Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye both stopped working.
"No one wants it? Then A Dong also wants it. The quantity is quite large today..."
"Hey? Where's A Dong? I just saw him standing here."
"I left on my bicycle. I said I was going to my old house to get a big pot. Don't worry, I'm sure Dongzi won't play tricks on others. If I say yes, I won't let you smash it into your hands. You can just show it in peace."
Already."
"Dried fish, don't we have as much as rice here? Some people want it. If you are busy, you can continue to go out to sea at night and dig more if you can. Maybe the weather will be bad again."
Father Ye swallowed the food in his mouth and comforted them so as not to worry and think too much.
"It's a pity that we can't find anyone who can go to the city to look at the store. Otherwise, we would try to sell it ourselves. The store would be empty and we wouldn't be able to rent it out."
"Isn't it? I don't know why I bought it. I spent thousands of dollars and it's just empty. I can't even make a rent."
"We don't even have time to take a look at the city. We don't even know what it looks like..."
"How many shops are open in the city now?"
"The devil knows..."
Ye Yaodong happened to be riding his bicycle back. When he heard it, he didn't say anything or came over, and went home directly.
What's there to say? It's not his responsibility. It's his fault. His heart is moved. And if he leaves it alone, where will he lose in the future?
Alas, it’s hard to be a good person!
"You've already bought everything, and you still talk about this? You don't want to order something good."
Father Ye didn't bother to listen. After saying that, he went back to the next door with his empty rice bowl. Do whatever you like.
Ye Yaodong put the black-backed ray into a large basin, sprinkled it with finely crushed ice cubes, and covered it with two layers of tattered clothes. After settling down, he went to look for the stonefish he caught today.
Who would have thought that after looking for several buckets but not seeing them, Long Feet ran away?
"Mom, have you seen my stone fish?"
"What stone fish? Are there any other stone fish? Didn't I tell you to throw them away when we were on the boat?" Ye's father stood aside and asked in confusion, watching him wander around. It turned out that he was looking for stone fish.
.
"That thing is ugly and poisonous. What are you using it for? I just put it together with the guts of the fish's belly and threw it into the bucket. We will take it to the beach and dump it back into the sea later."
"What? You're a prodigal, and you still call me a prodigal every day. I kept it specially, but you threw it away."
Ye Yaodong took the bucket next to her. It was full of fish scales, gills, and fish bellies. Only a little bit of the stone fish's body was exposed. He didn't look carefully, thinking it was just garbage.
When he reached out and wanted to take it out, he was slapped down by the back of his knife, "What are you doing? Just throw it away. Why did you take it out? You dare to reach out and accidentally kill you."
"
"I kept it here specially. As long as I don't get pricked by the thorns on my back, it'll be fine." Ye Yaodong took the kitchen knife from his mother's hand, reached into the bucket and fiddled with it, and then picked out the stone fish.
"Why do you want fish? You don't want to eat it, right?"
"My dear, you don't even know how tender this fish is..."
"I'm going to die. For your size, this fish is poisonous..."
"The spines on the back are poisonous, but the fish meat is not. It's a bit like a manta ray. Only the spines are poisonous, and it has nothing to do with the meat."
"Why are you messing around? What if, it's not like you haven't eaten anything yet. There are so many fish at home, why would you eat this? It's so ugly that it looks like a stone. What's so delicious about it?"
"What do you know?"
In this life, eating, drinking, and eating are the first priority!
For men, besides b, there is nothing left but mouth.
Can you eat the food in the sea? He knows more than they do. He has to taste all the delicious food in his life to make it worthwhile.
Ye Yaodong neatly used scissors to remove a whole row of venomous spines from its back, and then used a knife to peel off all its fish skin.
He took away Ye Mu's knife, so he could only sit and look at it, while muttering to himself, "I'll eat everything, I'm so greedy for you, even the little ones are not as greedy as you."
Don’t listen, don’t listen, you bastard is chanting sutras!
Ye Yaodong peeled the fish and chopped it into small pieces in a few seconds. Father Ye did not say anything, but just watched from the side, "How come you can eat anything in your mouth?"
"You used to take us to catch grasshoppers to eat. How dare you tell me?"
"That one is delicious when grilled."
"You'll know when I show you my skills. Go get me a bowl and put it in it."
Lin Xiuqing has been changing the clothes of several children at home. In a month or two, the weather will get warmer. Their clothes are too long and too short. They need to be changed before they can continue to wear them.
After she finished correcting one item, she wanted to go out and make a cup of malted milk for her two sons, then call them back to drink and go to bed, but she saw Ye Yaodong grabbing a spatula next to the stove. What was he fishing for?
"Aren't you full after dinner?"
"No, I caught a stonefish today. I want to take it back and make fish soup to replenish your milk. This fish is very tender and super delicious."
Lin Xiuqing looked up at him and said in surprise: "Are you trying to poison me to death and find another wife?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Isn't the stone fish poisonous?"
"The sting is poisonous, what does it have to do with meat?"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure I dare to ask you to eat it? I'll poison myself to death, but I can't poison you to death."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, she didn't believe it, turned around and went back into the house.
"Hey, don't worry. The flesh of the fish is not poisonous. It's just like the stingray of the stingray, but the sting is poisonous. But this fish is a bit ugly and difficult to catch, so no one eats it."
Ye Yaodong couldn't stop her, so he planned to eat it himself. Unexpectedly, she rushed out immediately and refused to let him eat.
"Just wait..."
"What for? I'll try the poison on you first and see how much I hurt you."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, took out a small silver bracelet from Ye Xiaoxi, and put it on the spoon in his hand with fish soup stuck to it.
Ye Yaodong said funnyly: "You still tried poison?"
"I'm afraid of death and becoming a widow."
"Look, I told you that you can eat it, but I'm not sure whether this is edible or not?"
The fish soup in the spoon became stuffy in one gulp, then he took another spoonful and put it to her mouth.
Lin Xiuqing felt relieved when she saw that the bracelet had not changed color.
"I won't eat. The milk will come out every day. You can eat it by yourself. I put the two children back to sleep, so I won't have to get out of bed every day."
At this moment, they heard exclamations and joy at the door.
The couple looked at each other.
"What's wrong?"
"Driving to Pearl?" Ye Yaodong guessed, otherwise, how could he be so happy?
"I'm going to take a look. I'm planning to go there."
Ye Yaodong also put down his soup bowl and followed him out.
As soon as I walked outside, the sound became clearer, and a pearl actually came out.
Luck is really good!
This also shows that there are really not many people visiting the surrounding islands, and the shellfish on them are unknown how old they are.
"This one is quite round and as big as a bean, so it will definitely fetch a high price."
"This is enough. If no one wants these things, we won't lose."
"What are you losing? Dongzi agreed and showed it to him, and you still say it's a loss?" Father Ye couldn't help but said, he was the one who made this bead.
Two women were killing fish there and couldn't spare any time. Father Ye thought that his wife was helping his third son to kill fish. He had nothing to do for a while, so he came to help them with some work.
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Ye Yaodong looked at them holding a bead, holding it high, shining it back and forth with the light, and said: "Dad's luck is quite good today..."
Father Ye was so proud that everyone was so excited that they looked at the pearls. It was rare that Dongzi still knew what to say.
"I feel the same way. Today my mouth feels like it has been opened. I can't believe it. Just now I was saying that after digging through so many bags, I wonder if one or two beads can come out? I didn't expect that there are actually some."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "We talked about it before. There are still so many bags, maybe more can be opened!"
"Yes, yes, keep digging..."
"Hey, there are so many baskets of dried fish here, I don't know how long they will be killed?"
They also didn't want to kill the fish anymore, and they were thinking about asking two of their parents' families to come over and help kill them so that the money would not go to other people's fields. Otherwise, they would have to go out to sea with others at night, which would be too much for them.
However, when they opened it continuously on the second, third, and fourth nights, they didn't open it again.
However, the surrounding neighbors heard about it again and were inspired to go out to sea to dig these shells. They had already followed the trend the year before last, but after no harvest, they died down. In the past two days, they have started again.
It's resurrected.
However, Ye Yaodong did not promise his neighbors to collect their shell meat, mussels, etc.
His second brother didn't show it to anyone, he didn't sell it in the market, and he didn't know if anyone wanted it. How could he dare to promise anyone else?
He has to try it before he can do it anyway? He doesn’t have that much money to lose, so he can still try it a little bit.
Chapter completed!
