Chapter 453

After the typhoon, the village was devastated, and everywhere was a mess. Many branches and trunks were lying across, blocking part of the path, and they had to be kicked away when passing by. Next to some houses, glass shards were spread all over the ground, and garbage was everywhere.

In the past, after a typhoon, every household would start cleaning the roads, tidying up the houses, and repairing the roofs. It was almost noon, and the road was still in the state after the typhoon had just passed, with no one cleaning it.

Everyone's passion was focused on the shells they had just moved and brought back, and they had no time to tidy up the houses and sweep the open space for a while.

Ye Yaodong and his father walked all the way and looked over. The doors of every household were piled up with sacks of shells. The faces of men, women, old and young were filled with joyful smiles. They all took stools and bamboo baskets and sat around there to sort or work.

Some were still shouting at the neighbors opposite, asking how many sacks they had packed, and how many sacks their own family had packed? Their family had many people, many laborers, packed more, and so on, extremely excited.

These are all money. When are there so many shells for them to pick up in normal times? And they can be sold for money.

Several children couldn't sit still. After picking for a while, their butts were like being smeared with oil, twisting and twisting. Later, they simply took advantage of the adults' inattention and secretly moved their butts, twisted their feet backward, and slipped into the corner to step on the water to play.

There were water pits everywhere on the dirt road. The naughty boys were disliked by people and dogs. Seeing someone approaching, they deliberately stepped on the water hard.

Ye Yaodong pulled his father to avoid it, but the naughty boy didn't splash others, but splashed water all over his face and body.

The children on the side hurriedly complained, "Ah hahaha~ Second Aunt, Stone is stepping on the water to play, his body is all wet."

The woman who was busy sorting on the side immediately rushed over aggressively, scolding while running.

The little boy's legs and feet were also agile. Seeing his mother rushing over to hit someone, he immediately pulled the clothes in front of him to wipe his face, and hurriedly shouted to run away.

As a result, he might be too panicked. He hadn't taken two steps before he slipped and fell directly into the water pit. Now...

Ye Yaodong couldn't bear to look.

The country boy is really too naughty, and he didn't cry. He immediately got up with his hands and feet, and the whole person was covered with yellow soil soup, and ran away before his mother's magic claws could reach out.

He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw it. Why bother? The whole body from head to toe is mud, so he has to go home to change clothes. Being beaten up is better than being caught and beaten harder after struggling for a while.

Listening to the mother and son running away, one shouting and one scolding, Ye Yaodong silently lit a candle for the child in his heart. The bamboo shoot fried meat must be a large portion.

Ye Fu only looked at it a few times, shook his head, walked on his own, and greeted the families he knew.

The habitual question of "Have you eaten?" in the past was automatically changed to "How many sacks of shells did you pack today?"

In some families, the gunny sacks were still neatly stacked in the corner without being poured out, while in others, they were all poured onto the ground and piled up like a small mountain.

The quantity of every household was not small. He could already imagine how noisy the wharf would be in the evening.

Walking all the way to the door of the old house, the father and son both knew the damage situation of the typhoon. There was no big impact, and there were no deaths in the village. It was just that the roofs were lifted off quite a bit, and the destructive power was a little stronger than in the past.

Two thatched huts for raising pigs were also blown down, and the guardrails were broken. Last night, several pigs ran away. It happened that a typhoon was blowing and a heavy rain was falling. The owner opened the door and came out, but couldn't run faster than the pigs, couldn't catch them, and they ran away.

Just passing by, I heard it. Someone was picking shells there and scolding the thief heaven, saying that they had raised them for more than half a year, and they lost a lot. The man in the family was looking for pigs everywhere at this time.

Ye Yaodong also felt that the typhoon last night was quite big. Originally, he thought it was because they lived by the sea, and the sea waves were whistling directly in his ears, so he had the illusion. Seeing the degree of damage in the village, his feeling was not wrong.

Walking to the door of the old house, the neighbors on the left and right greeted them one after another, and they were also sitting at the door sorting shells.

"I said why your doors and windows are closed tightly today. The typhoon has passed, and no one has come out. It turns out you all went to the new house."

"The new house is still good."

"There are only you two left in the old house here, you might as well move over."

Ye Fu smiled, "If we move away, the house will be broken if no one lives in it, and his mother and I are still young and can still work, so we don't need them to support us, and we are comfortable living by ourselves."

When Ye Fu was talking to the neighbors on the left and right, Ye Yaodong had already pushed the door and entered one step ahead.

The moment he opened the door and entered, a moldy smell of wood rushed to his nose. It hadn't been opened for ventilation until now, so the smell was strong, right?

In this era, the furniture in every household is solid wood, which cannot be compared with those particle boards and integrated boards later, and the mushrooms growing behind the door are also real!

And it's not just the moldy smell of wood, but also a strong smell of chicken poop. His mother brought the chicken cage in...

Coo coo coo coo coo coo has been ringing...

He opened the door panels on the left and right sides of the main door to the maximum, let the air circulate, and there was water accumulated on the ground in the house. I don't know how the roof leaked, so I really have to climb up and see later.

Ye Fu also followed him in, and couldn't help but say when he saw the water on the ground: "It is estimated that it leaked very badly last night, and there is still so much water at this time."

Ye Yaodong walked to the stove and looked at it. The firewood piled on the side was already wet and out of shape. He lifted the pot lid, and there was rain in the pot. He couldn't help but shake his head.

"I'll add a second floor to the new house later, and you move over to live there? Or there is still empty space on the eldest brother's side that can be expanded, covering it next to him so you don't have to climb the stairs, I'll pay for you."

"You have a lot of money, right?"

"Then the three of us brothers can share it equally, eldest brother, second brother will definitely have no opinion, this house has leaked into a sieve."

Last year there was no choice, leaking was also leaking in every household, everyone anyway lived like this, washing and brushing, repairing and mending, still living, still able to marry a wife with a dilapidated house.

After living in the new house, Ye Yaodong also looked down on the old house, although the new house was not much better, at least it didn't leak.

After living in the new house, Ye Fu was actually shaken in his heart, but he shook his head after thinking about it, "A good house can't be left to break, this house of ours is not small, it's a pity if it's broken, it was passed down by your grandfather after all."

"Then you want to keep it and pass it down from generation to generation, as an ancestral treasure? Pass it down for a few generations? Pass it down for a few hundred years as an antique?"

Ye Fu said angrily: "Your grandfather didn't earn this family business easily, and he didn't ask you to live in it, hurry up and open the doors and windows of other rooms."

"The old lady didn't feel reluctant, but you felt reluctant..."

Ye Yaodong muttered, and went to open the doors and windows, and by the way, twisted the mushrooms behind the door, "I don't know if it can be eaten, will it kill people?"

He threw it out of the window, but his peripheral vision saw a white piece... of... pig? tail? in the vegetable garden at the back door.

Pig?

He widened his eyes in surprise, and his whole body lay on the window, sticking his head out.

It really is a pig! What I saw in the house just now was its white butt and small curly tail.

Looking at the fence enclosed on both sides of the back door, one side had already fallen, and I don't know when, a pig actually ran in?

Associating with what I heard on the road just now, it seems that two or three thatched huts collapsed, and the pigs ran away...

Good guy, actually ran to the back door of his house to arch his family's cabbage?

Early in the morning, as soon as the sky brightened, the shells on the beach attracted the whole village to go over. At this time, everyone had just returned home, and they were all busy with that pile of shells at the door, and even the houses had no time to repair for the time being. No wonder, they didn't find this pig at their back door.

This is really a white pig falling from the sky!

"Dad!"

One cannon and two sounds, Ye Fu responded in the house, and the pig outside also called while arching the cabbage, and the curly pig tail moved twice.

"You hurry up."

"What's the matter? Why are you shouting when I ask you to open a window?" Ye Fu walked over and said dissatisfiedly.

"Come over, look, what is that in the vegetable garden?"

Ye Fu walked up in a daze, and also stuck his head out, and suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, "Where did the pig come from?"

"Did it run over from someone's house?"

"Then... then what should we do? Our family doesn't have a pigsty to raise it!"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, pigs are major property in this era, if they are occupied, no family can be good.

"Just walking over on the road, I heard two families say that the pigsty collapsed and the pigs ran away. Aren't you afraid that if it spreads, people will come to the door?"

Ye Fu rolled his eyes at him, "Our back door vegetable garden was ruined by this pig, and we won't be able to eat vegetables for a few days, so we have to compensate! Who picked up money on the road and stupidly took it back? We have to wait for them to come to the door and ask for it themselves."

"And, cats are poor, dogs are rich, and a sow with white cloth, I don't know if this is male or female, but this is not auspicious!"

"Then you look at it yourself, anyway, it ran to your back door, not to mine. You'd better call your mother over to see."

Ye Fu nodded, "You young people have fast legs, you run over and call your mother, see what she says, I'll watch here, and by the way, repair the fence, let the chickens out and feed them, they were all drenched into soup chickens, and were hungry all night."

"Okay."

He walked out of the house, the neighbors on the left and right were still tinkering with their shells, individual ones also spared their hands to sweep the floor, or were moving ladders, planning to climb to the roof to see.

He looked at the pitted road, the road on a rainy day is too difficult to walk.

If I knew earlier, I would have ridden my BMW. There are water pits everywhere, and the trouser legs are all spotted, and even if I wear rain boots, they are splashed to the back of my thighs.

It's also to blame that his father walked too fast, he caught up in a hurry, and didn't think about riding a bike, so he had to rely on two legs to go back and forth.
