Chapter 205: Collecting ground cage nets

Not a few days later, just after they finished eating, Ye's mother came to the house with a smile and suddenly called the three brothers to the old house, saying it was to accompany Ah Guang and his father for a few drinks.

He instantly understood that his father and mother must have agreed to marry off their daughter.

Why didn't his mother insist? Make it difficult?

Could it really be that sentence, the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she looks, the more satisfied she is?

Cheap Ah Guang this guy! Damn!

Ye Yaodong went to the old house with a serious face, looking at his father and Uncle Pei's flushed faces, he also knew that they had already drunk a round.

Ah Guang was beaming and kept laughing foolishly, making his eyes hurt.

Drink! Must drink!

The three brothers took turns with tacit understanding, pouring the father and son until they were drunk, their tongues were knotted and they couldn't speak, before sending them back.

After returning to the old house, Ye's mother happily said that their family was prepared to produce "three turns and one sound", "thirty-six legs" as a betrothal gift.

"Butterfly brand sewing machine, Phoenix brand bicycle, Shanghai Plum Blossom brand watch, and drama box, Ah Guang's father said they have been to the supply and marketing cooperative to see it in the past few days, and once confirmed, they will buy it immediately, absolutely not losing out to Huimei..."

Ye Yaodong curled his lips. Three turns and one sound is quite difficult for other families. There are not many families around their village who can afford these four big items. These can only be gathered by people working in government agencies and state-owned enterprises.

But their family can afford it. His father and mother must have saved some in the past two months. He also took 300 yuan to his father when he got the payment a few days ago.

Really, it loosened up so easily.

"I also asked your younger sister in advance, she has no opinion either. Now waiting for their family to find a matchmaker to propose marriage, we will set this matter down. Now it is two months away from the New Year, it should be married before the New Year."

"Too fast, right?" Ye Yaodong couldn't help saying.

"What's fast? With money or without money, marry a wife to spend the New Year well. Think back then, you were married in ten days..."

"That's different..."

"It is different, it is not easy to find one who is willing (blind), it really needs to be set down early. Ah Guang is different, we are in the same village and know the roots and the bottom..."

Ye's mother said happily again, "Forget it, wait for the matchmaker to come to the door and then talk."

Looking at his younger sister's shy appearance, one is willing to beat, one is willing to suffer, Ye Yaodong didn't say anything either. A big girl doesn't stay, let his wife look at it when the time comes, and prepare some dowry.

【Speaking of which, I have been using Yeguo Reading to chase books recently, changing sources, reading tones, Android and Apple are both available.】

No dreams all night until dawn.

Ye Yaodong planned to go to sea to collect the ground cages. He hadn't worked for half a month, and his arms were much better.

During this period, the goods in the ground cages were either collected by Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng, or collected by his big brother and second brother. Every time they collected them, they sent them all over.

But rarely luxury once, he divided half of them to them, and then kept the rest for his wife and children to supplement, then divided a little to the old house, and if there were more, either dried, or sent a little human favor, to Lin Jishang's place, or let his mother look at it and send a little to relatives.

Lin Xiuqing felt that she had become round during this period, but Ah Dong insisted that it was an illusion, saying that seafood doesn't make people fat, she was round because of pregnancy, and told her to eat more.

Maybe it was because others helped collect the goods, and her own man didn't have to output, waiting for them to send it over at home, feeling like it was picked up for nothing, and she had no burden to squander it.

Feeling too inappropriate.

"You don't keep goods when you go to collect ground cages yourself today, sell everything that can be sold. During this period, all good goods have been eaten into the stomach, too luxurious, can't be like this next."

"Isn't it good to have something to eat? One person eats and two people supplement."

"Isn't it money to eat? Isn't it hard to earn money?"

"Okay okay～"

Anyway, agree first, what goods to keep back is not up to him.

Ye Yaodong carried two big buckets and went out. The two sisters-in-law at the door saw him carrying the buckets and asked in surprise: "Adong is going to sea? Are your hands better?"

"Almost, raised for more than half a month, no problem with daily life recently."

"That's good, that's good." Ye's second sister-in-law smiled a bit reluctantly.

"Then you have to be careful when going to sea, if you can't use strength, don't be brave, it's the same to wait for your big brother and second brother to come back in the evening to help collect. They are all one family, it's nothing to let them help collect goods, you can rest for a few more days if you can rest, raise it well, in case any sequelae are left in the future... sigh... I just said that, it's best to be completely better, otherwise the family doesn't have to be polite, help do something, it's nothing..."

Still his big sister-in-law's speech has a level, the rank is relatively high, look at how beautiful the words are.

Clearly the smiles of the two were a bit reluctant just now, and the expressions in their eyes were written with reluctance to the good goods during this period, but she could say the words beautifully, making people feel comfortable listening.

Ye's second sister-in-law is relatively direct, can't hide things.

"Hmm, it should be fine, go to the sea to collect ground cages and see, if there is no problem, I plan to go to sea, haven't gone to sea for more than half a month, people are going to be scrapped, if I really go back to the way I was playing all day without working, father will have no work to do."

The last sentence can also be considered a reminder to them. His father's boat is his father's, if his father has no work to do, his big brother and second brother's boat will be suspended.

Ye's big sister-in-law's brain turns fast, and the smile on her face is more sincere, "Yes, it's almost better, it's time to go to sea to earn money."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong nodded casually, and by the way, propped up the bamboo pole that fell down at the door, and then walked towards the outside of the pier.

"Hey hey... Adong, are you going to sea to wash the sea tomorrow?" Ye's second sister-in-law called him again.

He almost forgot about this, resting at home for half a month, long ago thrown behind his head.

After he stopped, he thought about it and said: "Should not go? Haven't gone to sea to catch for more than half a month, should go to sea at night, the dried goods dried at home are still there. Big brother and second brother, now have boats, if you want to go, you can call big brother and second brother to rest for a day, let them take you."

Hmm... take care of your own wife, they don't have no boats now, he doesn't want to take responsibility either.

Ye's second sister-in-law nodded disappointedly, without wind and waves, the family's boat must go to sea to earn money.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them either.

The weather today is quite good, clear sky, the road is easy to walk.

It rained for the past few days, the road was muddy everywhere, puddles, as long as you go out, either shoes or trouser legs are full of mud, the eldest son was beaten three times a day frequently, usually it was beaten once every three days, fortunately the boy is sturdy.

He has been sleeping until he wakes up naturally recently, today is the same, considered late, there are not many ships at the pier, all went out to work.

"Yo～ you survived?" Ah Cai sat at the door of his acquisition point, crossed his legs, and greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, have to support the family, no way to be a waste, really miss it, you are still cool."

Ah Cai's mouth twitched, he felt uncomfortable listening to this, feeling like he was scolding him as a waste.

"Go go go, get more good goods and send them over."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong smiled and walked towards the direction where his boat was docked. The boat was swaying by the waves. It was a pity not to open the boat to fish for more than half a month, but that trip was enough.

The number of his ground cages is still the same. Since he got the longline, he hasn't increased it, afraid he can't collect it, but he is still a bit reluctant to sell it. Mosquito legs are meat, and the harvest of ground cages in these months is also okay.

The position of the float is still in that place. After they helped him collect the goods, the ground cage was put back to the original place.

Ye Yaodong pulled up the float and began to collect the net. The weight of the ground cage net in the water is still relatively heavy, but he still has strength in his hands.

Didn't collect it for a day, the first net collected was okay, two yellow mountain fish of one jin size, others were water valley fish the size of a palm, white shrimp also had half a jin, Ye Yaodong poured them all into the bucket, estimated to have more than 4 jin of goods here.

It's just that except for the first net, the harvest of the next few nets was not very ideal. Each net only had less than one jin of goods, a row of ground cages only collected about 10 jin of goods, no big goods, the best were those two yellow mountain fish of about one jin, worth two yuan.

The two rows of ground cages at the back were even worse; the two rows only yielded eleven or twelve jin of catch, all of which were cheap little red shrimp, small miscellaneous fish, and about two jin of mantis shrimp.

Ye Yaodong felt that it was cold recently, and the fish catch was not very rich.

After he finished pulling in all 6 rows of ground cages, the two large buckets were barely full. The largest was a sea eel weighing about five jin, followed by two sea bass weighing over three jin each, two yellow croakers weighing about one jin each, three jin of white shrimp, and quite a few octopuses, totaling over ten jin. There were also over 3 jin of mantis shrimp, and the rest were all small fish and shrimp, which altogether only amounted to a little over 20 jin.

Swimming crabs should be out of season, not a single one. Green crabs too, two days ago could still collect two, usually every ground cage could net a few green crabs, more than ten at most.

The weather is cold, and the seafood along the coast is also less.

Today's harvest is less than usual, but it's okay, at least there is bait for going to sea at night, wait for a while to go to Acai's place to supplement a little.

After putting all the ground cages back into the sea, he drove around the surrounding sea area. Don't know where Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng put the nets now, didn't see their boat after coming out.

Driving out another 1 nautical mile outside the sea area, he saw the small wooden boat of Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao, really bold!

The small wooden boat is like a leaf, drifting and swaying on the sea, he feels that a wave can capsize the boat.

Approaching their small boat, he just happened to see them retrieving the longline.

"You guys are really bold, dare to row such a small wooden boat so far out?"

"Afraid of what, anyway, it's still along the coast, if you fall down, just climb up." Ah Zheng said indifferently.

Xiao Xiao asked curiously: "Your hands are better, have strength? Why did you run out?"

"Almost, came out to collect the ground cage goods."

"Better, then we don't need to collect goods for you."

"Really luxurious, need to open a ten-meter big boat to collect a ground cage."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "No way, I just made a fortune, not bad for this diesel cost."

Although the diesel cost is a bit expensive, the efficiency is really high, better than the small wooden boat shaking the oar to death. Driving from the shore to here, it takes about ten minutes, but shaking the oar takes at least half an hour.

Shaking the oar for two months some time ago, he felt that the muscles of his arms were much stronger, and the fat on his waist was gone.

"Do you want to say such hateful words?" Ah Zheng glared at him, "Didn't see the shadow of inviting us to drink."

"Arrange at night, my hands couldn't be lifted some time ago, holding chopsticks was a problem, go to my house at night, just happened to collect some goods from the ground cage, enough for drinking."

It doesn't matter if you don't go to the literacy class for one day, anyway, he joined halfway, there is a long time to come, take it slow.

"Okay, at night take Fatty and them... oh oh oh～ damn... golden money grouper..."

Before Ah Zheng finished speaking, he saw Xiao Xiao pull up a top-tier grouper, surprised and staring, happily shouting damn repeatedly.

"Damn, what dog shit luck, as soon as I come, you caught a golden money grouper!" Ye Yaodong also stared, and drove the boat closer.

Xiao Xiao smiled from ear to ear, didn't unhook it, just carried the golden money grouper and shone it in the sun, "Dongzi, you are really a lucky star, such a big golden money grouper! We have been putting nets for several months, this is the first time we caught such a big grouper!"

"How many jin?"

"Should be three or four jin! The whole body is hexagonal spots, tsk tsk tsk～" Xiao Xiao's eyes were shining, very happy.

"Damn, worth ten yuan."

Ye Yaodong looked at it with envy, he hadn't caught a golden money grouper yet.

This leopard coral grouper is actually called a peacock grouper, also known as the "passing fish" or "flower-head plum." It is an aristocrat among groupers, mainly inhabiting coral reef areas with near-shore debris, and often appears along the coast.

Ah Zheng also shouted happily, "Let me unhook it, this fish is powerful, I caught it for the first time, hahaha～～" ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
