Chapter 435: Smiles on the beach

"Ah ah ah~ so many shells, even more than yesterday..."

A group of children just ran to the beach and started shouting and screaming excitedly again.

"My mother said this is called a scallop..."

"Do I need you to teach me?"

"Anyway, they are all shells... so many... hahaha..."

"Pick quickly, pick quickly, take advantage of the fact that the tide hasn't receded yet, and no one else has come over, there were so many people yesterday afternoon..."

"Right right right, pick quickly, otherwise the neighbors will run over again when they see us here..."

"There's a crab, there's a crab, it ran away, catch it quickly..."

It just happened to be summer vacation, a group of children were idle at home and running around everywhere. Boys and girls were equally wild, and girls didn't say they were obedient and stayed at home, they also followed the boys to run around in the mountains and seas.

One by one, they were like wild children, calling friends and companions every day and tanned black. In the hot weather, they didn't feel hot, and every day they came back sweating profusely, their faces red enough to boil eggs.

"Be careful, don't run to the front, wait for the waves to hit later, and roll you away..."

Lin Xiuqing watched the boys shouting excitedly, wishing they could soak their whole bodies in the water, and hurriedly reminded them.

But before she finished speaking, a wave surged up, hitting a group of children head-on. One by one, they were hit by the waves and laughed loudly, their whole bodies soaked, and they scooped up a handful of sea water and sprinkled it on their faces.

Ye Chengyang was hit by the waves and fell to the ground, and then sat up by himself with a confused face.

Lin Xiuqing was worried that he would be washed away by the waves, so she picked him up and put him beside Ye Yaodong, "You are so small, don't run around, stay beside your father, otherwise if you are washed away by the waves, your father won't know."

"Oh, Mom, give it to you..."

Ye Chengyang held his hand high, only to see a small white octopus in his hand, its tentacles tightly wrapped around his hand.

Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised, "When did you catch it? Why didn't you make a sound?"

"Fell down, and caught it." Ye Chengyang was only four years old, and his speech was still a bit milky.

Ye Yaodong also happily rubbed his head, "Good luck, I'll stew it for you to eat tonight."

"Dad, there's a green crab, so big... ah ah ah~ ran away ran away, ran away with the waves..." Ye Chenghu was also shouting there at this time.

Hearing this, Ye Yaodong hurriedly got up and ran over, and also saw the dark green-shelled green crab, which was waving its big pincers and arrogantly crawling toward the sea with the tide.

He saw it, how could he let it run away?

"You are not allowed to run forward, the waves are big, I'll come."

He waded into the water, quickly chased forward, the tide surged up, filled his rain boots directly, and the muddy sea water affected his vision, almost letting this green crab run away, fortunately he stepped on the green crab under his feet with sharp eyes, making it unable to move.

When he bent down to catch it, another wave tumbled down from his head, drenching him all over, coming for a cool feeling.

"Ah~ refreshing!"

He wiped the sea water on his face, shook his hair, held a big green crab waving its claws in his hand, and walked back with a bright smile.

Ye Chenghu shouted excitedly there, "Ah ah ah, Dad you are so amazing, such a big green crab, hahaha~"

Lin Xiuqing also looked up with a smile, the sun sprinkled on Ye Yaodong's bright smiling face as if plated with a layer of golden light, making him full of the feeling of a sunny big boy, and the vibrant atmosphere made her heart beat faster again.

The passion that had been gradually smoothed out by the plain daily life was rippling again because of his bright smile at this moment, and her heart began to ripple, feeling like returning to when they first met, he was also so attractive.

Because Ye Yaodong's sun protection work had been in place during this period, his tanned face began to turn white, and seeing Lin Xiuqing looking at him with some obsession, his smile deepened.

He also touched his eldest son's head, "The one you discovered belongs to you, let your mother stew it for you to eat tonight, eat these two big feet, you can run better tomorrow."

"Great great!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the others, "The same goes for you, whoever catches it belongs to them."

"Third Uncle, can I sell it for money?" Ye Chenghai picked up a green crab he caught at some point.

"Yes."

"Then you help me sell it, and then secretly give me the money, otherwise if my mother finds out, she will confiscate it."

"Good boy, you know how to hide private money."

"Hehe."

"No problem, put it in the bucket."

Ghostly and clever, he actually held it in his hand all the time, estimated to be afraid of being confiscated by him, so he didn't put it in the bucket, and wasn't afraid of being bitten by the big pincers.

At this time, Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law also cooked meals and ran out with buckets.

Scared, Ye Chenghai turned his back to that direction, quickly put the green crab directly into Ye Yaodong's bucket, "Third Uncle, don't tell my mother."

Then he turned his head and threatened a pile of younger brothers and sisters, "You are not allowed to complain, wait for a while, if you catch good things, you can also put them in Third Uncle's bucket, don't put them in your mother's, if you put them in your mother's, they will be gone."

"Yes yes."

One by one, they nodded, knowing it well. Giving it to their mother was like a meat bun hitting a dog, never to return.

Ye Yaodong found it funny, and also glanced at the two sisters-in-law who were running over. He said in a low voice, "Then this bucket is specially for you to put good things, you secretly put them in here when you catch them, don't let your mother know, I will help you sell them for money later, and give them to you after selling."

"Hmm hmm!"

Everyone nodded like garlic, their faces shining. Having the opportunity to hide private money, they were even more excited, and they secretly looked back, then continued to search, and those clams and small scallops on the beach could no longer enter their eyes.

The children of the neighbors saw that they ran to the beach before the tide receded, and they were also itchy, so they stole over. When the adults at home found out, they all took basins and buckets.

"Eh, there are so many clams on the beach before the tide recedes today, and scallops..."

"A typhoon is coming, the waves are big, they were all rolled in..."

"Pick quickly, pick for a while and go home to eat, come again after eating, you little rabbits, don't just play with water..."

After picking for a while, Ye's second sister-in-law found that her three children were wandering around everywhere, and didn't help pick, so she started scolding, "What are you doing? There are clams everywhere in this stone pile, what are you wandering around blindly? Pick quickly, if you don't pick, get out and go home to eat, you are all wet, if you catch a cold, I will break your legs."

Hearing Ye's second sister-in-law's scolding, Ye's eldest sister-in-law also turned her head to look, and just happened to see Ye Chenghe holding a big conch and excitedly walking toward Ye Yaodong's side, so she hurriedly stopped him, "Ye Chenghe, where are you taking that big conch?"

The excited expression on Ye Chenghe's face instantly froze, and his face was crying. He finally picked up a big conch with the waves, this one was bigger than his fist.

He smiled and showed an expression uglier than crying, "Mom..."

"Bring it to me, what are you wandering around blindly there? You haven't picked a few things for a long time, you only think about eating, give me a basin full first."

Ye Chenghe aggrievedly responded, but was a little unwilling. Taking advantage of Ye Chenghai squatting down, he pushed him, making him fall into the water.

Alright, now neither of them can be good. The two brothers immediately twisted and fought in the water...

Ye's eldest sister-in-law's blood pressure rose instantly, and her whole head ached. If it weren't for being on the beach and having no handy weapons, she would have wanted to beat the two brothers to death.

"Run! Eldest Aunt is coming to hit people..."

The two brothers fought fast and escaped fast. When their mother rushed over wanting to hit someone, they quickly separated and crawled directly home, making Ye's eldest sister-in-law almost ascend to heaven on the spot.

The remaining few were very serious this time, afraid that the fire would burn to themselves.

After a while, one by one, they held a handful of clams and scallops and ran to their mother to hand them in.

But they didn't stay honest for long. After that, they let themselves go again, their skin was very tough!

Ye Yaodong looked at their buckets, and they had picked quite a few good things. Being scolded and beaten was worth it.

After a while, there were more and more people on the beach, all looking at this side from afar, and it spread from ten to ten.

He looked at the two big basins full of clams and scallops, and the water bucket also picked up half a bucket of sea goods rolled up by the waves, and said, "Take these back first, and eat a meal by the way, come out again after eating, busy for a long time and starving to death."

"Alright, free up an empty bucket to hit a bucket of sea water, and raise them all in it."

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuqing shouted to the two sons again, "Alright, don't pick anymore, go home to eat, come again after eating."

Ye Chenghu held two big conchs in his hand and twisted, reluctant to leave.

Ye Yaodong looked puzzled, "Picked two conchs? Bring them over, go home."

He glanced at Ye Yaodong, stole a glance at Lin Xiuqing, and said in a low voice, "Dad, can I sell what I picked for money, and then give me the money."

"Hmm?" Ye Yaodong was surprised and knocked on his head, "Good boy! Eating mine, drinking mine, wearing mine, spending mine, living in mine, and still want to hide private money?"

"They can..."

"They are stealing, you still want to be open and aboveboard? Think beautifully, there are five packs of instant noodles at home, do you still want to eat? And malted milk powder, do you want to drink? Heard that eating dry is better than flushing with water, can hear the particles of malted milk powder rustling between teeth, the whole mouth is thick milky sweet, very satisfying."

Hearing his description, Ye Chenghu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The milky fragrance of the flushing last night was enough to make him reminisce, didn't expect eating dry to be more fragrant?

Lin Guangyuan also licked his lower lip after hearing this, "Really?"

"Of course! Pick more after eating in the afternoon, if you earn money, I will buy you instant noodles and malted milk powder."

Hearing this, Ye Chenghu hurriedly threw the conch in his hand into the bucket, and when Ye Yaodong turned around, he called him and took out two big conchs from his trouser pocket.

Ye Yaodong opened his eyes wide!

Good boy! Actually quite cunning?

Ye Chenghu touched the back of his head, giggled twice, "Hehe~ Dad~"

Lin Xiuqing was also speechless, poked his forehead fiercely with her index finger, "Actually playing tricks? Usually lack you to eat, lack you to drink?"

"Hehe~ hehe~" Ye Chenghu covered his forehead with a silly smile and ran home.

"Stinky boy, quite a lot of heart." Ye Yaodong scolded, picked up the youngest son, lifted the bucket full of sea water and shells, and followed.

Lin Xiuqing walked on the side and said angrily, "Isn't it all you? Said to help them hide private money..."

Ye Yaodong looked down at her with a smile, "Speaking of which, did you think I was handsome just now, looking at me and giggling, eyes are drawing silk."

"Where is it?"

Lin Xiuqing's face was red, don't know if it was sun-dried or teased by him, carrying the bucket and walking a few steps faster, not leaning on him anymore.

Ye Yaodong walked behind, looking at her back, the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the back of his head.

Ye Chengyang curiously held his father's face, "Dad, what is drawing silk?"

"Children don't need to ask so much..."

The noon sun was shining, but none of them were as bright as the smiles on the couple's faces...
