Chapter 267: Hair Standing on End

Ye Yaodong listened to the messy discussion in his ears, and stood for a long time, there was no movement for a long time, feeling a bit of a waste of time, just when he planned to leave, he saw the crowd moving in front, accompanied by the noisy sound coming from the crowd.

"Coming, coming, coming out..."

The villagers who were three layers inside and three layers outside were instantly boiling, feeling as if some big leader was coming, all stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks, trying to see the true face.

At this time, a path was automatically opened in the crowd, Ye Yaodong also clearly saw the village committee members all piled with smiles, and his cousin-in-law also sent them out with a flattering smile.

Looks like there's nothing unpleasant, a feeling of talking happily?

"Good good, no need to send anymore, we'll understand again, will come to the door again..."

Party Secretary Chen also said with a smile: "Evaluating a ten-thousand-yuan household is a big thing, must understand clearly, don't be anxious, wait until the county understands clearly, will definitely hold a commendation meeting..."

The eldest cousin-in-law nodded desperately with a full face of smiles, "Hey good good good... also blame me as a village woman for not understanding the men's affairs outside, only know he did business and earned quite a lot, he should be back in a few days, when the time comes I'll tell the secretary..."

That group of people nodded with a smile, and then walked out...

Ye Yaodong touched his chin, this situation should be his cousin-in-law asking three questions, so these county leaders couldn't directly determine, estimated they have to touch the bottom, and then wait until his cousin comes back to come again.

As for what fate it will be when he comes back, that's hard to say...

Those village committee members accompanied with smiles, followed the county leaders to the commune, followed by a long tail of villagers who hadn't seen enough fun.

Ye Yaodong waited until they walked far away, before walking towards his eldest cousin-in-law, wanting to ask what the situation was, and saw a pile of women already surrounding her, asking her one after another when to get on the newspaper, on TV? Can they still invest money with her?

His mouth twitched, and he stopped his steps.

Forget it, no need to be curious about this.

Since it was said just now, he will be back in a few days, then in a few days he will know how it develops.

He turned his direction, walked directly to the small road next to it, and walked towards the direction of his old home.

Ye's mother was beating the cotton quilt at the entrance at this time, supported by bamboo poles at the entrance, drying a pile of cotton quilts and clothes.

His younger sister seemed to have just washed her hair, was lowering her head at the entrance wiping her hair with a towel, beside her was a stool and a basin of water.

The old lady couldn't stay idle, his father was whittling bamboo strips on the side, and she was also weaving bamboo baskets there.

"Quite comfortable, all basking in the sun."

"Dongzi is here, come over here and sit, bask in the sun." The old lady greeted him happily to sit beside her.

Ye's mother also asked curiously at this time: "Dongzi, did you hear on the road just now that county leaders went to the countryside to your eldest cousin's house? Heard his family is a ten-thousand-yuan household, and how did I hear there's something about you, said they also went to your house?"

"Was washing clothes at the back door all the time and didn't know, only heard neighbors talking about it when I came out to dry clothes, what's going on?"

Ye Yaodong took out his set of rhetoric again to prevaricate, of course, still said the village committee mixed up the names, so they went to his house, later the cousin-in-law jumped out and it went to Ye Yaohong's house again.

"What a pity, if you were a ten-thousand-yuan household, that would be great, then you could get on the newspaper, don't know what rewards there are? Cheapened their family, already so rich, still have rewards..."

He nodded casually, and didn't pick up his mother's words, turned his head to look at his father, "Look in the afternoon, if there's no wind and waves, prepare, go to sea at night, rested for so many days, it's like this in winter, especially easy to get windy."

Ye's father nodded.

Ye Huimei on the side also said excitedly: "Just good weather today, cloudy and rainy for so many days, finally cleared up, tomorrow should also be good weather, Mom, let's go to sea with Third Brother at night, just tomorrow is the first day of the lunar month."

Ye's mother said while beating the quilt with a stick: "Good thing it cleared up, otherwise couldn't go."

"Don't bask in the sun comfortably at home, insist on going to the island to blow cold wind..." Ye Yaodong said angrily.

"Tao sea is very interesting Third Brother, bring a good hat, wrap a good scarf, bring good gloves and you won't be afraid of blowing wind."

"None of your business!"

Ye Yaodong actually just said it, when going to sea at night, he still didn't worry about them.

After hanging the bait and lowering the longline, he took advantage of the pre-dawn darkness to drag one more net near the island. He waited until it was completely bright before hauling in the gear, then handed the cargo to his father to sort while he steered the boat toward Ribbonfish Island.

That uninhabited island had been directly named Oarfish Island by him...

When the fishing boat docked, it was about 7 o'clock, started receding at six, at this time the water level in some positions was quite high, Ye Yaodong turned around the island, and docked near a low reef.

Then he helped his mother and younger sister carefully get off the boat and climb onto the reef.

The reef was covered with dense mussels, and some spicy snails attached to it, Ye Huimei was happy to bend down to pick as soon as she stood up, but she aimed at one that was especially large.

The snail meat was attached with great force, she pulled hard, her body swayed and almost fell, good thing Ye Yaodong grabbed her back collar and stabilized her.

【To tell the truth, recently I have been using the source-changing app to read books and follow updates, the source-changing switching, the reading tone is many,. huanyuanapp Android and Apple are both available.】

He said sternly: "What are you anxious about? The whole isolated island only has us, you're afraid there's nothing to dig? Just stepped on it and didn't stand firm and you reached out, don't know how to be careful, if you fall down and hit the back of your head, see what you do?"

Ye Huimei had never seen him so strict, was really a bit scared, guilty and didn't dare to speak.

Ye's mother also scolded: "How old are you, don't know how to be careful, the wind is so strong, blowing can blow you down, it's not too late to dig next time."

Ye Huimei lowered her head aggrievedly, "I was wrong, I was just too excited, I will definitely be careful next time."

"Alright alright, don't talk about her, go down first, it's a bit high here," Ye's father hurriedly smoothed things over, "The place where a little sand is exposed in front has a shallow water level, not easy to dock, can only stop here, go down from the stone first."

Ye Huimei walked down very carefully this time, Ye Yaodong also went up to help her.

The area of the sand beach exposed underneath was less than ten square meters, but the tide was receding, and a larger area would be exposed later.

They had just stood firm on the sand beach, when Ye Yaodong saw in front, washed by the sea, there was a large octopus floating up and down with the waves.

He ran up, first used fire tongs to clamp it, so as not to be washed by the sea and go back to the sea, and then bent down to grab it.

The dancing tentacles instantly wrapped around his arm tightly, the slippery touch, and the tight suction force made people a bit disgusted, he grabbed it and walked back.

Ye's mother said happily: "Still Dongzi reacts fast, grabbed a big red octopus all of a sudden, this size is not small."

Ye Yaodong used both hands to grab it off his hand and threw it into the water bucket, but not long after, its tentacles climbed onto the edge of the water bucket, trying to break out of prison, he had to grab it and throw it into the sack.

"Start, start, you guys be careful, don't climb up and down, dig the easy ones first, especially Comrade Ye Huimei, if you make trouble again, I won't bring you here again."

After Ye Huimei recovered, she wasn't afraid of him anymore, and hummed twice with her nose, "If there's a next time, you definitely won't bring me here."

"Also right, you'll be someone else's soon, and you won't be under our control, hurry up and pack you away."

"Humph humph, before you were still saying bad things about Guangzi brother in front of me, now you can't wait to sweep me out, Third Brother you are really fickle!"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "The date is set, you guys have no opinion, isn't it better to marry quickly? A big girl can't stay, staying and staying becomes an enemy! Understand?"

"Get lost, hurry up and drag your net."

"Not going, today I'm preparing to watch you guys."

Looking at his younger sister's hairy and restless appearance, he and his father should watch a bit, but it's just wasting a day, he doesn't care about this day, saving from any situation.

"You guys aren't dragging the net?" Ye's mother just pried two small abalones (small pot lids) down with a flat-head screwdriver, and heard him say not to, hurriedly asked.

"Doesn't look like there are any goods today, just dragged a net full of toadfish, dragging or not doesn't matter, might as well accompany you to dig more sea goods, dry more."

"That's also fine, more people can dig more back, store more for New Year, fewer and fewer people go to sea later."

Ye's father also had no opinion, it's all work. He took the sack and started working first.

Ye Yaodong threw the sack containing the octopus aside temporarily, took another one from the bucket and shook it open, knowing they were going to Tao sea today, they brought many sacks, not afraid of having nothing to pack.

He followed his personal habits as usual, first searched around, then found a good position, first dug from the position with many small abalones (small pot lids).

Many people, chatting, time passed quickly, but the isolated island was leaking wind on all four sides, the sea wind was especially big, blowing cold and chilly.

He specially brought the wool hat and scarf his wife hooked on the bed during her spare time a few days ago, but his cheeks were still a bit stinging from the wind, even if he turned his back, he would still be blown occasionally.

Looked at the other three who were digging enthusiastically, all turned their backs to the howling northwest wind.

Feeling he had to ask his wife to make a few more masks when he went back, just take a piece of cloth, sew it, and it'll be fine to block the face, otherwise blowing like this is too uncomfortable.

To tell the truth, his face is still quite tender now, if he can keep it, not being destroyed by the sea wind is better.

His head kept turning, but his hand movements weren't slow.

After digging a large piece of small abalones (small pot lids) in front, he was too lazy to waste time looking everywhere, immediately picked the spicy snails, flower snails, cat-eye snails, Buddha hands, etc., attached to it, planning to pick slowly after digging back.

Aside from mussels, sea clams, and juvenile shellfish, he accepted everything else without exception.

The quantity of these three is too large, it's better to take a separate sack to pack.

He diligently filled a sack, then twisted his neck, twisted his waist, stopped for a while, and then dragged the sack to the side.

Two large sacks had already been placed on the open space beside, he turned his head and looked, his father and mother's bags in their hands were empty, these two bags were dug by them.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, their speed is still fast.

He immediately took an empty bag again, walking and unfolding, and by the way looked at where the tide in front had receded to.

However, just one glance, he was startled and widened his eyes, his pupils shrank, and his heart skipped a beat, the hair on his hands stood on end.

No way...

He actually encountered this kind of thing... ===== CHAPTER 268 =====
