Chapter 290: Beachcombing

Accompanied his aunt's family to the old house while chatting and laughing. Before his butt was warm, Ye Mother sent him back to call his Big Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law to come over to help cook. By the way, she also called his Big Brother and Ye Erge to come over to accompany his uncle to talk.

The New Year is like this, a bunch of relatives coming and going, eating and drinking, playing cards, chatting...

It's not considered the end of the New Year until the 15th is over.

It's just that after the third day, the weather didn't cooperate, and it started to drizzle, and it was overcast and rainy until almost the end of the first lunar month.

Even the grandmother's house that the children were thinking about didn't go, and the Lantern Festival lanterns they had been thinking about for a long time didn't see, and the two children were depressed.

Actually, bad weather is one reason, and another important reason is that Lin Xiuqing's belly was already very obvious. She thought she could hide it before.

The Lantern Festival is February 27th in the Gregorian calendar. At this time, she was already 7 months pregnant. Although she couldn't see her belly wearing a loose cotton-padded jacket, she could see the pregnancy when walking.

People nowadays are very sharp-eyed, they don't necessarily have to look at the belly to confirm. If someone reports it, they have hidden it in vain for so long.

He also asked someone to send a message. Lin Father and Lin Mother had long known the situation and only let them come over to hide when they needed to.

Ye Yaodong looked at the two children who were pouting, arms crossed on their chests, and looking at him with slanted eyes. He reached into his pocket and took out 8 five-cent coins.

"Twenty cents each, no one is allowed to be angry?"

"Hmph! I just want to go to Grandmother's house!"

"How to go when it's raining? It's raining and there are no lanterns or flower floats. If you go, you won't even be able to leave the door."

"But I want to go."

"Then you walk there yourself," Ye Yaodong casually stuffed the few coins in his hand to Ye Chengyang. "Your brother doesn't want it, you listen, it's all yours."

Ye Chengyang nodded happily and took it.

Ye Chenghu didn't do it, turned his head and grabbed his. "This is mine, can't give it to him!"

"Didn't you not want it!"

"I want it!"

Hmph hmph, can't cure him!

After solving both of them and sending them to play next door, the room became quiet. Ye Yaodong frowned and said, "Someone is going to build a house next to us. You don't have to go out in the future, just stay at home. If there is anything, call the eldest to run errands. Usually, if there is nothing, close the door."

"I know."

The older the month, the more Lin Xiuqing worried. She originally thought that there were not many people around the new house and she should be able to persist until birth. Now it is estimated that she will have to hide in a while.

Not many days later, someone came to measure the land next to their house, and before the first lunar month was over, it started construction just two days after it cleared up.

Every day, villagers who came to work came and went around the house, in full swing, and often sat at their door to chat.

Ye Yaodong couldn't rest assured, so he moved a stool to the door every day to watch, for fear that if he walked away, someone would come to his house to ask for tea, or borrow this or that.

Ye Big Brother and Ye Ye Erge also went to sea after it cleared up. Most of the villagers also went to sea to work after the 15th, only he was still at home. It is now the second lunar month.

Sigh, it's not that he became lazy, he is not at ease.

His old father and mother were a bit anxious these two days. It had been raining and there was no way before. Recently, it had cleared up for a few days, so they urged him to go to sea every day.

At night, Lin Xiuqing also hesitated and said, "Should I go back to my parents' house? With my dad and mom there, I don't have to go out. If there is anything, I can hide in the mountains?"

He was worried about hiding in the mountains.

"We also have a small hut on the tea mountain, and people can live there if there is anything..."

Ye Yaodong patted her soothingly. "It will be time to pick the first tea in a few days. There are people on the tea mountain, so it's not good to stay. It doesn't matter if you go to sea a month or two late. You earned a few hundred yuan on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you have enough expenses for a few months without moving the old capital."

"That's too long. You can't do anything day by day, you can only guard me at home. It's too delayed. You go to sea with Dad tomorrow. Mom said she will come over to watch every day..."

"It's only been a few days since it cleared up, and it's only after the first lunar month, so don't worry."

"You should go to sea if you should go to sea. Dad and Mom are also urging. One day without going is a day's loss. I don't go out anyway."

"Sigh, I'll look at the weather tomorrow first."

He kept stroking her round belly with his hand, and occasionally touched a small bulge, but it disappeared immediately, and it protruded again after a while.

He was very novel, and his hand went back and forth on his belly, but he only played for a while and it was gone.

"Not moving?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "It moved for a while before I spoke just now. It is estimated that it is tired and asleep now."

Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand regretfully. "How long until birth?"

"After May 1st."

He calculated. "Then there are about two months left."

"Mm, persist."

"Are the small clothes ready?"

Lin Xiuqing stroked her belly and nodded with a smile. "Ready, there is sun these two days, and they have been re-washed and dried."

Ye Yaodong also had more expectations in his heart. The first two didn't have much sense of participation. This one was unexpected, but it was the one he had been thinking about and keeping in his heart.

Persist, persist.

Early the next morning, not long after the sun rose, the sound of knocking, hitting, moving, and lifting sounded outside the house.

The whole family could only climb up sleepily, and could no longer happily sleep until they woke up naturally.

"So noisy, why do they want to build a house next to our house? Is there no place in the village to build?"

"They think we are good here."

"Hate it to death." Ye Chenghu was pouting as soon as he got up early.

"It will be fine in a while, the sun is also drying the butt, it's time to get up." Lin Xiuqing said while putting clothes on the two children.

Ye Yaodong stood at the door looking at the clear sky, the tide on the beach receded little by little, and the wind and waves didn't look big today.

But Ye Yaopeng rarely didn't go to sea, but urged Ye Chenghai to be fast at the door.

"Did the wind rise at night?"

"No, I'm going to take this guy to the town pier to carry goods for two days. Dad and Second went at night."

"Oh~ good days are over~ have to be self-reliant? Remember to be filial to Third Uncle after earning money." Ye Yaodong patted Ye Chenghai's shoulder with a smile.

"Does Third Uncle want to go together?"

"No, I'm waiting for your filial piety, come on teenager!"

Ye Chenghai's eyes were bright, and he nodded excitedly. For him, he could earn money by himself, which is undoubtedly novel and worth looking forward to.

Ye Yaodong lit a candle for him in his heart, pray for yourself, teenager!

"Dad, is Brother Ahai going to earn money?"

"He is going to be poisoned."

"Ah?"

"When he comes back at night, you ask him if he is happy to earn money today? Is the wind at the pier big, is the cargo heavy, is the steamed bun delicious? Are your shoulders okay?"

Ye Chenghu looked at him with a confused face.

Ye Yaodong patted his head. "Don't learn from your Brother Ahai."

"Oh, Dad, the tide has receded, can we go to the beach to play later? So boring, we haven't been to the beach to play for a long time."

"Yes, I will accompany you to play for a while after breakfast."

It is rare that the weather is good recently, accompany them to play for a while, maybe there will be no time in two days.

The two children jumped and ran into the house to urge them to eat. School has started, everyone has gone to school, only they are at home, they are also very boring, it is rare to be able to play on the beach, they are also impatient.

Lin Xiuqing cooked noodles today, gave them a bowl each to eat by themselves, they slurped and finished quickly without being urged, even the soup was drunk.

"If you go to the beach, see if there are any sand clams to dig, take them to cook soup. They are tired of radish soup every day. I will stir-fry mustard greens rice at noon, and a bowl of sand clam soup is just right."

"I know, after we go out, you close the door. Whoever knocks on the door, you pretend no one is at home."

"Mm, I'll go make up for sleep later, my belly is big recently and I haven't slept well at night."

Ye Yaodong nodded, then carried a bucket, brought two short-handled spatulas and fire tongs, and the two children walked to the beach.

At this moment, the beach was just exposed, and there were not many people on the beach.

The two children ran wildly in front excitedly. Before running for a while, Ye Chenghu bent down and picked up a sea urchin. "Ah, so prickly!"

He threw it back to the ground again.

"Dad, we picked up a sea urchin!"

Ye Yaodong ran up and picked up the 'underwater cactus' under his feet and threw it into the bucket, praised them. "Good luck, find a few more, steam eggs for you at noon."

Although the sea urchin looks unremarkable from the outside, like a sea urchin, black and prickly, the sea urchin yellow after peeling is amazing.

It is bright orange-yellow, the surface particles are clear, and one petal is only the size of a little finger. When eating, no seasoning is needed. The taste is light, sweet, with a natural ocean atmosphere, and the texture is light and smooth.

Sea urchin yellow is also the only part of the sea urchin that can be eaten, especially suitable for sashimi.

Steaming eggs with sea urchin yellow, there is a touch of rich seafood on the smooth steamed eggs. Sea urchin and eggs have their own unique deliciousness. A spoonful of steamed eggs and sea urchin yellow is taken in one go, which is very fit.

"Okay, okay."

The two turned around and ran on the beach again~

"Brother~ wait for me~"

Ye Yaodong saw a large hairy snail buried under the sand next to it, looking bigger than his eldest son's fist. He used fire tongs to flick it and dug it out of the sand.

I saw it roll, and there was a small one next to the place where it stopped.

The snail meat on its head was still exposed, and suddenly it was startled by this, and it was constantly shrinking. When Ye Yaodong bent down to pick it up, the whole meat had shrunk in, leaving only the cap.

This hairy snail looks similar to a conch, but the head is sharper and longer than an ordinary conch, and the skin is full of hair, and the color is completely different from ordinary ones. It feels like turning cowhide.

But the size is not small, and the snail meat inside is also very thick, which is absolutely cool to eat.

He picked up the other small one next to it and threw it into the bucket, adding a meal at noon.

"Dad, Dad, there is a very ugly big crab here, it has eyes, it ran away, come quickly..."

The two children ran and shouted excitedly. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
