Chapter 141
The three of them rowed their oars side by side while talking, rowing their small boat toward the pier.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the sea surface, reflecting a faint radiance, making the smiles on the three men's faces carry a golden light. The satisfaction in their eyes was almost overflowing.
At this time, there weren't many fishing boats left on the sea surface; most of them had already docked.
After they docked, the sunset glow had already burned half the sky red. In the west, large patches of fiery clouds had formed, orange upon orange, purple upon purple...
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but say, "Today's sunset is quite beautiful!"
"Indeed!"
"Beautiful my ass, it's not like we haven't seen it before. Hurry up, let's sell the stuff and go home to eat."
Xiao Xiao said while carrying two buckets and walking toward the pier first. Ye Yaodong also followed with his two buckets of fish catch.
A Zheng also hurriedly took the remaining fish catch, "Sigh, wait for me..."
Seeing their several buckets of fish catch, A Cai was surprised, "You've got so much catch after only going for an afternoon? So many red snapper, did you encounter a school of fish? Your luck is quite good; this fish is rarely seen around here."
He looked at Ye Yaodong's bucket again, "Didn't you go to set ground cages? Where did the fish catch come from? And there's a large croaker?"
A Cai was pleasantly surprised, but also felt a bit regretful, "It's a pity, the size can't compare to the previous one."
"It's fine, they were all caught by fishing. We just happened to encounter two whales. They swam away when they saw a boat approaching, and the school of fish they drove were all concentrated in that area. It's a pity we didn't bring a net, so we could only fish."
"No wonder the group that returned before you also caught quite a lot of fish. Pour them all out and pick through them, let's see what's there?"
"There are quite a lot of red snapper. Don't say I don't take care of you guys; I'll buy this fish for 5 mao 2 fen. As for this water valley fish, the price has dropped recently; large ones are 1 mao 3, small ones are 5 fen..."
A Cai muttered while picking through them. The three of them looked at each other and found that the price was considered reasonable. They were very familiar with how much common fish catch was bought and sold for. The red snapper had already exceeded their expectations, so they decided to just go with it.
"Fine, let's do that."
Theirs were settled. Ye Yaodong's own catch was also sorted out. He kept a dozen red snapper that he wanted to take back to eat, along with two black porgy. He planned to sell all the rest, which could also be worth some money.
His father was going out to sea at night, so he wasn't afraid of not having seafood to eat tomorrow.
"How much are you planning to buy this large croaker of mine for?"
"Weigh it first, let's see the weight."
The result of the weighing was 27 jin."
Ye Yaodong frowned, a bit lower than he expected, "Give a higher price!"
"This is the highest. We're so familiar with each other, could I deceive you? Your previous one was over 50 jin, and it could sell for 500 yuan because it was large and rare. A fish maw was nearly 6 liang, and Hong Wenle was also generous. Although this 20-plus jin one is also rare, it's not like it's not on the market."
"Brother, I'm also an honest person, I won't say empty words. The price of fish catch will always fluctuate. Three yuan is really not low. A worker's wage is only 1.5 yuan a day. This fish of yours is worth two days of a person's wages per jin. You also have to let me earn a few fen or a mao, right? We're all fellow villagers, we're all talking about the real price..."
Xiao Xiao poked Ye Yaodong's chest with his elbow, "Do you want to send it to Hongsheng or other restaurants yourself?"
"If you send it there, it's basically this price too, it can't fluctuate too much. I'm also earning hard-earned money, or maybe they'll suppress the price. It's impossible to encounter good things every time."
A Zheng looked up and down at the fat all over his body, "You're working hard receiving goods here? Sitting at the door with your legs crossed every day, and when the boat returns, you only need to move your mouth and move your connections."
"Then you come?"
"Forget it, I can't... pui... it's that I won't do it! I'm very capable."
A Cai didn't care about him and continued to say to Ye Yaodong, "Anyway, it's this price, you see, I'll weigh the other goods first."
"Forget it, forget it, I'll trust you once." It was almost dark, and he didn't want to toss and turn. Originally, the goods were all fixed to be received by him, and he was also the middleman introducing buyers. Suddenly doing this would make the face look bad.
A Cai was beaming with joy, "It's also less trouble for me to buy from you."
He bowed his head in sympathy for himself. It's not easy to earn some money, and to tell the truth, no one believes it.
After all the goods were weighed one by one, Ye Yaodong took the cargo list, looked at the weight and amount, and only put it into his bosom after verifying there was no problem.
Today's harvest was not bad. Originally, it was a temporary idea, thinking about bringing a fishing rod to catch a few fish for dinner, but I didn't expect to have unexpected wealth.
Just by being busy for a while in the afternoon, I earned dozens of yuan, making up for the gap of this week, and the family foundation was a bit richer.
Both of them looked at Ye Yaodong enviously, "I said you must have sold more than us. The few nets of goods we caught together can't even compare to that one fish of yours."
"Good luck."
Maybe he still had 20 or 30 years of good life in his previous life, and the King of Hell hooked the wrong person and returned him to the world of the living, and compensated him by the way?
He was thinking like this every three days, persuading himself.
"Your harvest is also very good. Let's go, it's time to go home and eat."
The three of them walked home with light steps, each carrying a bucket. At this time, wisps of cooking smoke had already risen from the chimneys of every household.
When Ye Yaodong carried the bucket home, the whole family was waiting for him to eat.
Seeing that he had just returned, Ye Mu couldn't help but mutter, "Why did you just return? You could set a ground cage until now, the whole family is waiting for you to eat."
"I caught a few fish by the way. Is there any tofu at home? Can you make another bowl of red snapper soup?"
"It's this point, where would there be tofu? Only tomorrow morning will a small cart come to sell vegetables. Keep it for tomorrow."

"Take advantage of the freshness now, cook a few first, just cook it with wine. We haven't eaten fresh fish for many days. By the way, kill those two black porgy and steam them!"
"You have so many things to do, the dishes are already cooked, and you still want to cook." Ye Mu muttered, but she still carried the bucket to the back door to kill the fish. Indeed, everyone hadn't eaten fresh fish for a few days.
There can be no dishes on the dining table of people by the sea, but there cannot be no fish.
Taking advantage of this effort, he returned to the room first and handed the list to his wife.
"What is it?" Lin Xiuqing took the list without knowing why. At a glance, she was pleasantly surprised?
"How can there be a list? Didn't you go to set the net?"
"I also fished by the way, thinking about catching a few fish for dinner, but I didn't expect good luck."
She happily looked at it a few more times before putting the list away, "Your broken fishing rod, mother always mutters that there is no firewood and wants to burn it. Fortunately, it was not burned."
He raised his eyebrows, "My things are all treasures, you can't be like mother, wanting to throw everything away."
"I know."
Looking at her bright smiling face, he couldn't help but ask, "You, that, hasn't it come yet?"
Avoiding the topic for a week, he still couldn't help but ask. This child is not something else, so we can't always pretend that nothing happened, right?
What should be decided must be decided.
"Ah? Oh... it hasn't come," she lowered her voice a bit, "It should be pregnant."
"Then... give birth?"
She said hesitantly, "Give birth, we can't be so heartless to say we don't want it if we don't want it?"
"That's fine, then let's be more careful. You should go out less in a few months, don't go anywhere. It just so happens that our new home is on the beach, and there are no people around."
He hasn't thought less these days. It's definitely best to be able to give birth safely. At worst, I'll accompany her to the mountain to hide for a few days. With me accompanying her, it definitely won't be like the previous life, where it was gone after a fall.
After giving birth, we'll pay as much as we should. I'll just work hard to earn money.
"Well, it's fine that it's not visible now that the month is small. When the month is big and the weather is cool, wear the cotton-padded jacket loosely, and it should be able to cover it up. As for next spring, we can only see the situation then."
Ye Yaodong touched her flat belly, "It's really good to be pregnant~ I'm really amazing..."
Lin Xiuqing slapped his hand away and said angrily, "What's there to be proud of? You're embarrassed to say it."
"Why am I embarrassed to say it? Which couple doesn't do things?"
Ye Yaodong took her into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and deeply sniffed her body fragrance mixed with the faint soap scent.
I hope this life can be different.
"It's itchy, don't mess around, we're going to eat in a while, don't let the son see it again."
Ye Yaodong raised his head, only to see that the skin on her neck had already developed goosebumps, and it was a bit pink.
Every time the lights were turned off, he hadn't looked carefully.
Seeing him staring at her neck with eager eyes, Lin Xiuqing slapped him embarrassedly, "Why are you looking like this, let's go out to eat."
"Well."
