Chapter 436: Actively catching the sea

~11 min read 2,011 words

Ye Chenghai and the others all looked on enviously. They also wanted to eat malted milk powder and instant noodles, secretly looked at their own mother, and could only sigh in their hearts, they still have to rely on themselves.

Thinking that the goods they caught in the bucket were more than half a bucket, he was full of motivation and energy.

However, Third Uncle had already left, and they had to hand in the good things they picked, which Ye Chenghai felt was not cost-effective, and couldn't cheapen his mother!

Secretly, a few people discussed it, feeling that they had to go home to eat first, and when Third Uncle came out, they would come out again, and couldn't work for their mother in vain!

But Ye Chenghai was afraid of being scolded, and kept winking at Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe. The two were not stupid, so they wouldn't go up to be scolded.

The three of them were squeezed there winking, until Ye's eldest sister-in-law discovered it and scolded them again.

Ye Chenghai braced himself and said cleverly, "Mom, Chenghe said he was hungry and wanted to go home to eat!"

The biggest use of a younger brother is to take the blame at a critical moment!

Ye Chenghe opened his eyes wide, looking at Ye Chenghai in disbelief, "Obviously it was you..."

Ye's eldest sister-in-law immediately exploded, glaring at Ye Chenghe, "Eat eat eat, just thinking about eating, didn't help pick a few, only thinking about eating, give me a basin full first."

Ye Chenghe responded aggrievedly, 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.

Ye Yaodong was holding the child and had just walked half the way when he saw Ye Chenghai and his brother coming from behind. The two were soaked all over and running fast, as if someone was chasing them behind, and looked back puzzledly.

"Why are you running? Is there a wolf behind you?"

"There is a tiger, a tigress!" Ye Chenghai looked back and found that his mother didn't chase, so he stopped with relief.

Ye Yaodong twitched his mouth, "I'll tell Eldest Aunt later!"

"What tigress?" Ye Yaopeng and his brother had just driven the boat to the shelter and were walking back when they heard this.

"Nothing... nothing, Dad you are back, Mom told us to eat first, let's eat first."

Anyway, a beating is definitely unavoidable. Debt is not worried, lice are not afraid of itching. Accumulate it and beat it together later, earning money is important!

Ye Chenghe secretly touched his butt, don't know if he can withstand the beating later!

"Hmm alright... you two go change clothes first, soaked all over, see if the clothes at the door are dry? If dry, change them yourself..."

There are many people and great strength, it is quite useful to have many children, but one by one they are quite owed to be beaten.

Ye's eldest sister-in-law returned home and saw that Ye Yaopeng had returned. They ate first, thinking he was hungry, so she didn't say anything.

It wasn't until they were talking that she knew. Her eye knife had just been thrown over, and Ye Chenghai and Ye Chenghe ran out one by one faster than the other, watching the youngest daughter Ye Jingjing's hand tremble, and couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, so afraid that the anger would burn to her...

Ye Yaodong had just finished eating and was coming out with a bucket and the three little ones, intending to continue working while the tide was slowly receding, when he saw two more figures dart out from behind him, followed immediately by his ears being filled with angry scolding.

"What did you do again? Your mother seems to have eaten explosives today?"

"Sigh~ it's hard to say! Still Third Aunt is good, I didn't hear Third Aunt scolding people, today it was either my mother scolding there, or Second Aunt spraying fire there."

Ye Yaodong directly gave him a burst chestnut, "Talking nonsense, how can you say that about elders? Skin itchy? You are not beaten for no reason, if I have such a son, I would also be so angry that I would be short-lived, maybe even more ruthless than Eldest Aunt's beating."

"Tch~"

"Brother A-Hai, my mother also scolds us every day, beats us, but you are not at home, go to school every day, so you don't know." Ye Chenghu said honestly.

Ye Chenghai was instantly comforted, "That's good, then I feel balanced in my heart."

"Then go to school together in the second half of the year? We all go to school, you stay at home, aren't you bored? School is so fun, there are many classmates, we can go to school together..." Ye Chenghe also tempted with bad intentions.

Ye Chenghu was also very tempted, he also wanted to go to school, but, "But going to school requires homework..."

"Can copy~"

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead, "Don't bring the younger brother bad, work quickly, pick more good things, sell them for money later and you can buy instant noodles."

"Alright~"

Several people didn't speak, excitedly threw their slippers, carried the small baskets made by Ye's father, and went into the muddy water barefoot to fish in troubled waters.

After a while, the large army was all gathered. The beach was lively and full of people, all taking advantage of the typhoon day with big waves to catch the sea.

Fortunately, their house was by the beach, one step ahead of others.

The children also learned to be clever in the afternoon. While saving private money, they also found some worthless things to give to their parents.

As for how they judged whether the things in their hands could be sold and whether they were valuable, of course, they picked them up and let Ye Yaodong pick them first. If he didn't want them, they would throw them into their own buckets...

Of course, their efforts were not in vain. In one afternoon, they saved two full buckets of good goods, and they were not discovered.

Under the expectation of a group of children, Ye Yaodong first carried their two buckets of goods to sell. He didn't intend to sell what he picked himself, he didn't care about that little money, and kept it for his family to eat.

Don't say, typhoon is coming, waves are big, goods are also many. He caught 14 green crabs, big and small, which was really the most ever.

Green crabs can be raised for several days as long as they are not bitten by mosquitoes. Every old and young in the family can have one, and they can eat for three days, taking advantage of the typhoon day to rest at home and make up for it!

The goods in those children's buckets were also considerable. There were five or six green crabs in their buckets, all caught by themselves. There were many people on the beach. If they didn't catch them on the spot, they would be caught by others if they ran away, and they couldn't wait to ask him to take action.

Carrying a pile of zero money of a few cents, Ye Yaodong felt that his pocket was a bit heavy, and his pants were about to fall. Didn't expect that one day more than ten yuan could fill his pocket, making him feel heavy.

He also deliberately let A-Cai give zero money, so that it would be easy to distribute to them. In case they fought because of uneven distribution and were discovered and confiscated, they would collapse and rebel.

A group of children on the beach, absent-mindedly picking while looking at the wharf direction.

Until they saw Ye Yaodong's figure appear in sight, they jumped three feet high excitedly, didn't help their family pick anymore, and ran toward the door one after another wearing shoes.

Ye's second sister-in-law frowned and scolded, "What are you doing, not serious, run away after working for a while, didn't pick anything valuable in the afternoon, just took a small white pomfret of seven or eight taels..."

Ye's eldest sister-in-law also said angrily, "Right? Didn't help for a while, just know how to be naughty and run away without a shadow all day, didn't have time to beat them in the afternoon, will look good at them at night... just picked some clams for me in the afternoon..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled lightly not far away, straightened her waist, didn't want to pick anymore, and planned to go back to feed the child.

It is still a bit beneficial for the old lady to move over, at least she can help her watch the child at this time, so that she can also free up time to catch the sea together. She picked quite a lot in the afternoon.

Just when she was walking back, she heard noise coming from behind, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and the people around were attracted.

She saw so many people surrounding there, and walked over curiously.

"Ah, it's really a phoenix tail conch, so big..."

"Luck is really good..."

"This size is so big, it can sell for a lot of money..."

"Ten or so yuan, right? This is really big..."

Lin Xiuqing stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd. Only to see a middle-aged short and thin man holding a very beautiful big conch in his hand.

Visually, it is 20 or 30 centimeters long, the pattern on the body is a bit like a peacock's tail, the layout is uniform, colorful, the individual is big, and its tail is particularly sharp like a hairpin.

She is not a seaside person and doesn't know goods, but after looking at this conch, she also feels it is beautiful. The size is about the same as the coconut conch she has seen, but its tail is a bit sharper and longer.

After hearing the crowd discuss and envy for a while, she left.

Anyway, it's not her earning money, the money didn't fall into her hands, just take a look and know it.

After returning to the courtyard, seeing Ye Yaodong finish distributing money to those children, she mentioned it.

Ye Yaodong was instantly surprised and patted his thigh, regretting, "Holy crap, came back early! Delayed by this group of little rabbits, phoenix tail conch, and it's 20 or 30 centimeters long, damn it, who picked it?"

"Don't know! I don't know everyone in the village? I left after taking a look."

"Was it rolled in by the waves?"

"Heard it's like this, is phoenix tail conch rare? Heard that just one conch can sell for ten or so yuan, so valuable."

"Sigh~ of course it's valuable. This conch has the meaning of attracting wealth and warding off evil, also known as the big conch, it is an important instrument for high monks in Tibet, small value is average, the bigger the size, the more valuable."

"Cut off the sharp end of its tail, expose a hole to ensure ventilation, and it can blow out a very loud sound, the sound is like a horn and very good to hear."

It is one of the four famous conchs, but there is no saying of the four famous conchs now.
