Chapter 270: Nightmare
The husband-and-wife fish surrounding the whole boat body were really not few, the whole family didn't pick for long, straightened their bodies to hammer their waists, and then continued to bend down to pick.
Ye Yaodong first started picking from the outside, after all, it wouldn't be long before the tide would rise, in case the tide pushed them back into the sea, that would be a pity.
Picking a basket full, he pulled the bamboo basket forward, lifted it onto the boat with his father, and then took an empty one to continue picking.
The family of four picked so engrossed, happily long ago forgot the previous things.
After they picked almost all the husband-and-wife fish around the boat body, the tide also rose bit by bit.
Ye's father's rheumatism had been uncomfortable for several days, didn't dare to walk too far down, Ye Yaodong saw they were almost picked, let his father go to the boat to stack the baskets of husband-and-wife fish well, and they would pick the remaining bit.
Until all the fish were swept away, an hour passed, and everyone's waist and back were about to be unable to straighten.
After the last basket of goods was lifted onto the boat, Ye Yaodong twisted his waist and sighed, "This is all hard-earned money..."
"Otherwise, you think earning money is so easy? These few years are still okay, look at the years before eating from the big pot, don't even think about earning money, everything was collective."
"Yes, life is much better now," Ye's father also followed and echoed, "Think back then..."
"No need to think back then..." Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's reminiscing, where is there time to listen now?
"The tide has risen, move the shellfish dug just now onto the boat first, otherwise it won't be easy to move when the water level is too full later, and it's even harder to walk on the rocks."
"Yes yes, move onto the boat first."
Ye's mother said with some regret: "Time seems still early, why don't I go dig a little more?"
"Not early, it's past two o'clock, later still have to collect a longline fishing, and gillnet, after collecting and going back it'll be four or five o'clock, almost there."
"So fast, feel like didn't do anything today..."
"Is your waist not sore? Is your back not painful?" Ye Yaodong looked at his mother supporting her waist with one hand, actually still saying didn't do anything today?
The boat is about to be piled full, still say didn't do anything?
The older generation can really do!
"A bit, just feel time passes especially fast."
"Isn't that so? When there is work to do, doesn't time pass especially fast?"
Ye Yaodong waited for his father to stack the goods well in the corner, and then went down to move together, Ye's mother and Ye Huimei waited on the boat, and helped by the way.
After moving everything onto the boat, they rested for a while, and after the tide rose a bit more, the boat could barely open out.
The longline fishing didn't catch any special goods, still those bottom-layer fish, but the gillnet stuck quite a few nine-section shrimp as long as a palm, making Ye Huimei quite happy.
Among the common sea goods in this era, nine-section shrimp are considered relatively expensive, especially this size, about twelve per jin, costing several yuan per jin.
Nine-section shrimp die as soon as they go ashore, they are all suicidal, the most heroic shrimp.
After going ashore, it will spit out secretions, making itself die, making people who like to taste fresh unable to touch it, quite heroic and heroic of "rather be a broken jade than a whole tile".
But they are going to dock, die if they die, doesn't affect.
Ye Yaodong shook the nine-section shrimp in the basket, and said with a smile: "Just right for your engagement tomorrow, can be left for the table."
Ye Huimei's cheeks flushed with shyness, and she didn't speak.
The appearance at this time looked much more pleasing to the eye, before on the island, it had been pale.
Ye's mother also nodded, "Pick and choose later, leave some goods, anyway it's our own things."
Another day of full harvest, husband-and-wife fish are not very rare in this era, fishermen can occasionally net a few, but the whole boat is full, which attracted many curious eyes from villagers.
When they lifted off the boat, one by one surrounded and asked, "Where did you catch so many husband-and-wife fish, this thing isn't it only available in summer?"
"How many baskets are these? Look at your boat piled full, each basket is full..."
"Recently it's all toadfish and halibut, this fish is rare, and caught so many..."
Ye's mother smiled, said while lifting and walking: "It swam up by itself, piled up surrounding our boat, and one by one stacked together, in pairs, we also grabbed for a long time, waist about to break, don't know where so many came from, picked until tired to death..."
Ye Yaodong lifted the other side and didn't speak, let his mother show off...
He hadn't eaten this thing either, left a few to taste fresh, all the others were weighed.
Twelve baskets, net weight 667 jin after weighing, it wasn't expensive at this time, only 2 cents per jin, but sold more than a hundred, plus the goods from longline fishing and trawling, added up to nearly two hundred yuan.
He kept the few sea snails and cat-eye snails picked, planning to take them back to eat himself.
Lin Xiuqing saw the husband-and-wife fish he brought back, and didn't know where to start, "How to deal with this? I haven't killed it."
"I'll do it."
Haven't eaten it, but he knows how to kill it.
Take the meat down, don't want the shell, then wash the taken meat clean, use a knife to chop into small pieces, not too small.
After finishing, tell Lin Xiuqing to stir-fry, he won't care, he only knows how to eat, doesn't know how to cook, division of labor is very good.
But what needs attention is, adult husband-and-wife fish are non-toxic, only young horseshoe crabs are toxic. Young horseshoe crabs are also called ghost horseshoe crabs, the whole body is toxic.
Good thing they caught all adults, small ones are useless and released.
Afraid Lin Xiuqing would worry, and afraid of scaring her, Ye Yaodong didn't mention the matter of encountering the floater at sea when he came back, nor did he buy pearl powder to eat, he thought it had passed, didn't take it to heart, and didn't need to eat pearl powder to calm his nerves.
But didn't expect to have a nightmare at night, dreaming of the swollen face that couldn't see the facial features, actually clearly visible, and that face was so familiar, clearly his appearance when he was old.
He instantly woke up from the dream, sat up directly.
He felt it should be thinking about it during the day, dreaming about it at night, it was too terrible, collected the corpse for himself? Let the self in the previous life, bless the self in this life?
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuqing felt the movement beside her and also sat up.
"Nothing, had a nightmare."
"What nightmare? Such a big person, still have such a big reaction to a nightmare," Lin Xiuqing patted his chest to comfort, "It's okay, just a dream, sleep quickly, younger sister is getting engaged tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong grabbed her hand, "Hmm, sleep."
"What nightmare?"
"Saying it out will scare you to death, better not listen, sleep quickly."
At this time Ye Chengyang also turned over and hummed, Ye Yaodong hurriedly picked him up, "Good... hold you to pee..."
After being busy for a while, he also temporarily threw the nightmare just now to the back of his head, holding his wife felt a bit at ease, his hand couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen, lying flat already slightly bulging.
Lin Xiuqing woke up and suddenly couldn't sleep, "Tomorrow is the second day of the lunar month, less than a month until New Year, we should prepare New Year gifts to send back to my father and mother."
【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.】
"Hmm, okay, wait until younger sister gets engaged, you see if it's before winter solstice, or after winter solstice, both are fine, nothing to do, shouldn't go to sea before New Year, have to rest for New Year, I have time."
"Almost, not necessarily good weather later, busy before New Year, after sending New Year, still have to wash the house, go to the market to prepare New Year goods."
"Our house doesn't need to wash, right? Didn't move house long ago."
"Hmm, our house doesn't need to wash, wipe the glass, organize things. Old house definitely needs to wash, go help later."
"Don't need you, just look after the children."
In the dark night Lin Xiuqing turned her head to look at his side face, mouth upturned, in the past half year, he really changed a lot.
"Adong..."
"Hmm?"
Lin Xiuqing turned her body, one leg on his waist, reached out to hug his waist, head rubbed on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"Nothing and you're so active? Is it thinking?"
"No..."
He turned his body, straightened her to lie down, "Don't press the stomach, I'll do it..."
"Sleep, middle of the night..."
Ye Yaodong was just teasing her with his mouth.
He reached one hand into the hem of the clothes, lingered on her body, and stroked the slightly bulging stomach, "How many months?"
"You have the nerve to ask, how many months you don't know, how to be a father."
"This kind of thing is clear to you women, who still calculates how many months all day? I know it's my own seed, isn't that enough?"
Lin Xiuqing pinched the soft meat on his waist, "If it's not yours, whose could it be?"
"Hiss~ you're unreasonable... I said I know it's my own seed, and you still pinch me..."
"Then you say how many months is my stomach?"
"How can I guess this?"
His wife was spoiled by him, actually asked him back, he didn't specifically remember.
Thought about it in his heart, seemed to be pregnant in August of the Gregorian calendar, then it should be, "5 months?"
"5 months and a bit."
"Then no mistake, it's mine! Hiss~ it's mine~ no mistake~ hiss~ let go~ let go~"
Felt the meat rotate 90 degrees, the waist must be blue again, really spoiled by him, actually habitually pinched him.
Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily, and kicked him, "Sleep! Lie on the small bed, don't lean on me!"
"Hey... how come you turn your face as soon as you say..." ===== CHAPTER 271 =====
