Chapter 12

Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest brother and second brother who were wet all over and asked curiously: "Didn't you go to open the boat? Why are you like you swam back?"

Ye Yaopeng looked down at his clothes that were tightly attached to his body, and felt a bit uncomfortable. He grabbed his hem and shook it and said: "The tide was very shallow when we came out, and it was not easy to open it. We called a few friends to help push it into the water, so it was delayed until now."

"Oh, what time do you have to go at night?"

"One or two o'clock, are you going? Dad said that dragging the net doesn't need three people, two people are enough. Let us take turns going with him, so we can have a rest."

Laoer Ye Yaohua also said sincerely: "Third Brother, you should also take turns with us, learn from Dad how to open the boat, how to look at the compass and navigate at sea without getting lost. We seaside people can't not know how to distinguish the direction at sea."

"You guys just know."

How could he not know how to open a boat? He also knows how to look at a compass. He has run large ships for many years, and he can steer, so how could he get lost at sea.

It's just that he hasn't recovered from falling into the deep sea, and now he is asked to go to sea, which feels not very good.

Ye Mu choked on the side: "In the morning, you said in the house that you want to learn from your eldest and second brothers to be diligent and hardworking. What you said is like farting. From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You have to help at home. Even if you don't go to sea, you have to help make nets, otherwise, I will break your dog legs."

"Mom, one bite can't make a big fat man. You have to let me take it slowly..."

"You don't want to do any work all day, and you still want to take it slowly. How slow? Slow until your son grows up and works for you, supporting you?"

"Hey, this idea is good!"

Ye Mu glared, and raised her palm to want to beat this useless thing to death.

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong was prepared when he was poor-mouthed that his mother would definitely be annoyed. After speaking, he slipped away, didn't take his own hard-won harvest, and didn't look at his son.

He ran a few steps away before saying to them: "It's hot, I'll go back first."

Anyway, his wife and the others also went ashore, just one after another.

After running home, he was sweating like rain, and his whole face was red from the sun. The old lady felt distressed when she saw it.

"Why didn't you wear a hat when you went out? You're tanned like this, where are your mother and the others?"

"They are walking behind, and they will be home soon."

The old lady took the cooked corn from the basket and gave it to him: "It's so late, are you hungry? Eat a corn to pad your stomach first. The porridge is ready. We can eat as soon as your mother and the others come back."

"Hey, okay."

The corn planted by oneself is soft, waxy, fragrant, and sweet, and you never get tired of eating it.

In the morning, it was just a bowl of sweet potato porridge with pickled vegetables, not even urine. After sweating, the water was gone, and he was hungry long ago. It was already past twelve o'clock.

"Where are those children? It's time for dinner, and they haven't come back yet?"

"One came back earlier, took a corn, and ran out to play again. Who knows where they ran? Just shout a few times in a while and they will come back."

"I'll go call!" After he gnawed the corn in two or three bites, he threw the stick into the corner and got up to go out.

As a result, he bumped into his mother as soon as he went out. The basin of sand clams in her hand was splashed all over him by his bump!

"What are you doing? You are such a big person and still so careless, you deserve it!"

Ye Yaodong stepped back, helpless. It turns out his mother dislikes him so much, she has been disliking him all morning!

He has already planned to be a good person!

Depressed!

Lin Xiuqing stood out and said: "You go back to the room and change your clothes first. Wash the ones on your body later. Take advantage of the big sun at noon, and it will be dry in the afternoon, otherwise, you won't have clothes to change if you sweat again at night."

"Hmm."

Maybe it was because he performed well on the beach just now, and there was the credit of two green crabs, his wife looked at him much more pleasingly than usual, and could speak to him so gently and kindly.

Ye Yaodong went back to the room and rummaged through boxes and cabinets. He didn't see it in the cabinet where he remembered putting clothes. He thought the time was too long and he remembered it wrong, so he rummaged everywhere.

Lin Xiuqing came in from the outside after washing the child, intending to take a piece of clothing for the child to wear. As a result, she was so angry that her heart fire came up, and her face turned cold.

"Do you think I'm too idle and want to find something for me to do, or do you want to find money?"

"Ah? Where did you think? I'm looking for clothes!"

She actually thought that he didn't go out this morning because he had no money in his pocket?

Is he that unreliable?

Maybe... maybe... he was when he was young... but... but he isn't back?

Exhausted!

"You just rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find clothes? There are only two sets of clothes in total, two pairs of shorts to change and wash, and the clothes are still hanging in the backyard to dry. What are you rummaging here for?"

"Only two sets?"

"How many sets do you want?"

"I don't know there are only two sets of clothes, I'll fold them for you right now..."

Looking at the mess on the bed, he also felt guilty. Fortunately, he lived alone for the second half of his life and knew how to do everything. He hurriedly folded the clothes of the family of four in all seasons quickly.

Lin Xiuqing looked at his actions, and her anger dissipated a little. Maybe he really didn't know where the clothes were. These things were managed by her daily, and she was the one who folded the clothes and put them on the bed for him when he took a bath.

Maybe she really wronged him this time. Her attitude also softened: "I'll go out and collect the clothes for you."

Ye Yaodong, who changed his clothes, sat on the edge of the bed and didn't go out immediately. He was self-reflecting...

In just one morning, he clearly felt the dissatisfaction of his family toward him. It turned out that he was so unsuccessful before, and he really hadn't felt it so clearly for decades.

After Lin Xiuqing put on clothes for her son, she came in again to separate the clothes and sheets he folded and put them in the cabinet. Seeing that he was still sitting, she couldn't help frowning: "Go out to eat, what are you still stunned for?"

"Waiting for you, without you, how can I eat!"

Ye Yaodong originally just spoke poorly and said it at will. He didn't expect his wife to blush, and she turned her head away shyly: "What nonsense!"

He was surprised immediately, she actually blushed! Sure enough, women all like to hear sweet words!

"Go out to eat, there will be no dishes if it's late!"

Look, even the tone is soft...

He was in a good mood immediately, the depression of being wronged dissipated, he straightened his back, and followed her out slowly.

A group of children were already sitting full in the main hall. His wife stood beside his eldest son Ye Chenghu, ready to pick up vegetables for him, and left an empty seat beside her. The youngest son sat directly on his mother's lap, and his mother was feeding him.

There are five boys and three girls in the youngest generation of his family. His eldest brother's family has two sons and one daughter, his second brother's family has one son and two daughters, and he has two sons.

The first four boys, the names are taken from the sea, river, and lake, from big to small. When his youngest son was born, he casually called him Yang.

He went up and sat in his seat, looking at the table full of seafood, and couldn't help but sigh that seaside people are really poor and can only eat seafood.
