Chapter 359: Sterilization

After the whole family had a simple breakfast, Ye Mu also finished her housework and came over.

This morning, Lin Xiuqing was going to have a sterilization operation, and she came over specifically to help them watch the child.

If it weren't for Secretary Chen's help in pleading, Lin Xiuqing would have been dragged to be sterilized the day after giving birth. Now that she has finished her confinement, she should go quickly to avoid making things difficult for others.

Lin Xiuqing squeezed a large bowl of milk and left it for Ye Mu to prepare, in case she left and the child had nothing to eat.

In fact, if she went to the health center in the town to do it, it wouldn't take much time, but Ye Yaodong was worried that the health conditions in the town were not good, and there was no professional operating room for the operation, let alone disinfection.

He was also worried that the technology was not up to standard, which would be bad for her body in the future and cause various ailments. He overcame all objections and decided to go to the county to do it, which would just take more time to take the bus.

He was also considerate and brought an extra quilt. After all, she had just finished her confinement, so he would wrap her up after the operation, and he could also wrap her up when getting on the bus, and he could also pad the seat to make it softer.

Seeing Lin Xiuqing finish the operation, with no blood on her small face, he felt heartache.

"It's okay, let's go home."

She didn't speak, just nodded.

They were lucky to go back and forth today, and didn't wait too long for the car. There were not many people doing sterilization operations in the hospital, and it was done quickly.

After returning home, it was just past noon. He was also considerate and brought her tea and water.

"I'll ask Mom to stew two eggs for you to pad your stomach first, and let her come over to cook for a few days during the day. You just lie down and rest for a few days."

"It's just a small operation. Many women in the village have done it. Don't make a fuss."

In fact, she was very happy in her heart and felt very comfortable.

"It's okay, anyway, Mom is idle, so find something for her to do, to avoid getting sick from being idle."

She said with a smile: "Nonsense, there are a lot of chores in the house and in the fields, how can she be idle? Even if she has a little free time, she has to weave two nets."

"You don't have to worry, just rest well. I'll go talk. Anyway, if I get scolded, just scold me, just rest at home for two days..."

Sure enough, as soon as he went out and told his mother to come over to cook for a few days, he was immediately criticized.

"It's just sterilization, it's not a big deal. Confinement is over, can't you still cook? That daughter-in-law in the village, after sterilization, walked back and went to work in the fields. You have too many things..."

"My own wife, I love her myself. If you don't cook, I'll cook. Just rest at home for two days..."

"Rest what? You are used to being lazy. When can you change your lazy habits? It's not that your wife wants to rest, it's that you want to rest yourself. Your eldest and second brothers went to sea in the middle of the night, and you are still swaying at home..."

"Everyone is thinking about catching a little more if they can. The fishing season is coming to an end, and I still want to follow. You don't worry at all, and still want to cook... Which man in the village cooks at home? It's a laughing stock to say it out..."

Ye Yaodong said with annoyance: "What's so funny? What's wrong with men cooking? Can't men cook? Aren't those who are cooks all men?"

"Not doing proper work, but still thinking about cooking at home. You are going to piss me off."

"Then tell me, are you cooking or not?"

Actually still righteous? Ye Mu picked up the spatula and wanted to slap it on his face. "Cook, cook, cook, I owed you in my previous life. You are the most worrying, your eldest and second brothers are so worry-free..."

"They are quite worry-free. Last year, each of them was cheated of 1000 yuan. Hey~ I wasn't cheated, does that mean I earned 1000? Wow, got rich? It's okay not to go to sea for a month or two..."

Ye Mu almost couldn't catch her breath after hearing this. She slapped it over with the spatula, but fortunately, he dodged it with quick eyes and hands.

"You bastard, you only know how to piss me off. Beat you to death."

Ye Yaodong said happily: "What are you angry about? Calculated, Mom, you also earned 1000. You were also very moved at that time."

Ye Mu was extremely heartbroken. "Roll, roll, roll~ It's an eyesore to look at."

"You stew the eggs first. After it's done, just cook two bowls of noodles to deal with it. It's almost 1 o'clock, just eat something." Ye Yaodong walked out after shouting. The squid fishing season is coming to an end. Next, his longline fishing has to be arranged. He has to send the row hooks to someone to organize, and he has to book fish bait from A Cai. The preparatory work must be done first, otherwise, he will be blind temporarily.

Resting is impossible. The pace of making money cannot stop. He doesn't have the ability to earn big money, but small money can also accumulate.

In the evening, when Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua came back, they were also regretting there. Today, they only caught less than 200 jin of cargo after picking and fishing, and it might be even less tomorrow.

Fortunately, they also trawled two nets and sold 20 yuan. Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law also dug a lot of shellfish, sea lettuce, and sea melon seeds when they were idle.

Ye Mu said while helping to pick: "Have you heard? Recently, because of catching squid, many people have dug a lot of shellfish on the island. Just after eating dinner at night, I heard that several people in the surrounding villages have dug up pearls from the shelled ones in the past few days, and some have also dug them out from oysters."

She had been helping to serve the confinement here recently, and her news was lagging behind a lot, otherwise, she should have known it long ago.

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. He also heard that someone dug up Pinctada fucata and opened a lot of pearls when he went to the pier to buy fish bait in the afternoon.

It's quite normal. Every year, surrounding fishing villages will accidentally produce pearls. It's just the difference in quality and rarity. These randomly produced things are hard to say.

Like oyster pearls and melo pearls, they are very rare. This is no less than hitting a big luck. Pinctada fucata is more common. It is also one of the main mother shells that produce pearls in the sea. It has high output and good quality.

The depth where Pinctada fucata inhabits is generally from near the low tide line to a depth of more than 20 meters. Generally, in sea areas with large wind and waves and unstable bottom quality, they inhabit deeper; conversely, in sea areas with small wind and waves and stable bottom quality, they inhabit shallower.

It is estimated that these people also dug in the intertidal zone or low tide line, otherwise, how could they have the ability to dive.

"The luck is quite good."

In fact, razor clams can also produce sea pearls, but the probability is a bit lower, and the quantity is too large. If you dig one by one, the workload is too large, and with so many quantities, who knows if you can dig them out? It's better to sell them directly, which is simple.

Abalone is the same, it can also have a probability of production, but the probability is low. If there is none, then it is a loss. There is no need to bet on that ultra-low probability. Sell directly, the price is more considerable.

Oysters and sea oysters are because no one collects them with shells, they are all pried open and sold at stalls, so they pried them directly.

"Indeed, those people have really good luck."

"Let's open these..."

"Don't dream, there won't be any if you open them. These are mostly sea lettuce and sea melon seeds. There is nothing."

Why tell the truth? Ye Mu rolled her eyes at Ye Yaodong. "It's also good to dry them."

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that they had finished picking a basket of shellfish, he went to fetch water to help rinse them. After washing, they had to be cooked, and after cooking, they had to be dug out and dried. The meat dried out was only a tiny bit.

It's quite laborious and troublesome, so not many people are willing to pry these shellfish. Those without boats can't dig, and those with boats are not willing to do these things.

And they are not short of a bite to eat. Isn't it fragrant to cast a few nets with this time? It's just that some female comrades have dug a little recently.

"Dongzi, are you going to sea at night?" Ye Yaopeng squatted on the side and asked.

"Yes, I sent the row hooks to someone to organize. The squid fishing season is almost over, so I'll get something else to subsidize."

"It looks like we have to do it too."

Ye Fu interjected: "Put more row hooks. Recently, many fish cargoes have reached the spawning season. I heard that there are a lot of small fish and shrimp caught by trawling, which are not worth much money. It is better to use longline fishing to catch big fish."

Both brothers nodded.

At night, when Ye Yaodong got up, he also changed a diaper for the child.

No way, it was really too incidental. Just as he got up to put on clothes, he heard her crying. Originally, he wanted to hold her up to coax her, but he smelled a foul smell, and it stuck to his fingers. That sticky, thick feeling instantly made him feel bad all over.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still so young, and she stopped crying as soon as he held her, he would have wanted to slap her butt hard.

Lin Xiuqing also woke up when she heard the child crying. "Is she hungry? Is it time to eat?"

"She pooped, it stuck to my hand. I'll fetch water, you lie down."

Since he touched it, it was only natural to wash her butt. It was just that he didn't know how to wrap the diaper later, so he threw it to her mother to wrap.

Ye Yaodong scratched Ye Xiaoxi's little nose. "Your father, I, have only changed a diaper for you."

Lin Xiuqing's mouth kept rising. "You hurry to sea, I'll be busy."

"Mm."

"I made a hat for you yesterday afternoon, remember to bring it, it's on the sewing machine."

"Good."

Seeing that the time was not early, Ye Yaodong also hurriedly went out. ===== CHAPTER 360 =====

"Okay."

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Yaodong also hurriedly rushed out.
