Chapter 58: Going home like a drowned rat

Lin Xiuqing covered his face with her five fingers and pushed him away. This shameless person, only serious for a moment, and then he was back to his old self.

Ye Yaodong grabbed her wrist and frowned. "Hand also scraped?"

She pulled her hand back. "Mm, it's fine, just a little scraped skin."

"Then go back and wash it, don't look for it, it will hurt more if it touches seawater later."

"It's fine, it doesn't hurt. It's still early, the tide has just receded, there must be things to pick up. I won't touch the seawater. If I find anything, I'll call you. Didn't I do that before?"

"Don't be stubborn..."

"Oh, what's this, just a fall, hurry up and continue looking." She continued to look seriously, and stopped after walking only a few steps. "Move this stone, I see a blue crab leg, it should be a blue crab."

She was in high spirits, and Ye Yaodong couldn't help her, so he had to let her go.

The two wandered around in the reef area again. At this time, a few drops of large raindrops fell. Just when they were about to go back, it suddenly stopped, so the two had to continue looking.

It wasn't until they wandered for another two hours that Ye Yaodong said: "Alright, it's almost noon, let's go back."

"Don't you want to look for a while more?" Lin Xiuqing said reluctantly.

Ye Yaodong chuckled. "Why, addicted to beachcombing?"

"Yes, a little. It feels like beachcombing today was too easy. We picked up so much in just one morning. In the past, there wasn't so much to pick up during the big tide on the 1st and 15th."

"Actually, there are a lot of goods during the big tide on the 1st and 15th, it's just that the villagers have visited this beach too many times, so it seems like there are fewer seafood items. There are many on the isolated island. Alright, let's go, let's go home, my stomach is almost flat with hunger, and the sky is overcast again."

"Alright, then we'll come again when the tide recedes."

"Hehe~" Really addicted, he shook his head with a smile. "Let's see how our sea area will be affected by the typhoon tomorrow. If the typhoon is fierce, the tide will definitely not recede tomorrow, and it will rise even more, and there is a high possibility of heavy rainfall."

"That's right, then forget it, we'll come again when the tide recedes and it's not raining."

"Mm."

They also had a big harvest in half a morning. They picked up eight mud crabs, big and small, and even more stone crabs. In a short while, they picked up more than a dozen, and there were three blue crabs, which were also quite hard and could be sold for some money. There were also more than a dozen stone porgies, big sea eels, golden pomfret, plum fish, spring croaker, and some small fish and shrimp. The most were clams...

It is estimated that if poured out of the sack, it can fill a large bucket!

Of course, the most special one was that Melo pearl, but this one has to be covered up. The grouper in the water bucket was quite good.

Ye Yaodong carried a water bucket in one hand and a sack in the other, while Lin Xiuqing followed him with a happy face, and the two walked home with light steps.

After returning the scale, just as they reached halfway, heavy rain poured down, and the two had to rush home in the rain.

By the time they got home, the two had become drowned rats, but they couldn't care about taking a shower and changing clothes first, but took a super large basin and poured out the goods in the sack first.

Seeing the couple like drowned rats, Ye Mu couldn't help nagging: "Where did you two come from? Running around in typhoon weather..."

Ye Eldest Sister-in-law said happily: "Ah~ you went beachcombing? You dare to go in typhoon weather, you have big guts!"

Ye Er Sister-in-law also put down the work in her hand and came over. "Still quite a lot of goods... ah? So many mud crabs..."

A pile of children in the family also gathered around. Ye Yaodong's eldest son Ye Chenghu shouted from the side: "You went to the seaside to play, and didn't take us!"

"Brat, you're everywhere, take you to be swept away by the waves?"

"You can go, why can't I go? Humph!"

"Because sea monsters only collect boys and girls! Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Brat!"

After Ye Yaodong scolded him with a smile, he didn't care about him and asked his mother: "Where is Father? We caught a grouper, let him take a look and see how much it's worth!"

"Ah?" Ye Mu then noticed a water bucket by her feet. It was really a grouper, but Ye Mu didn't recognize the variety.

For fish and goods, it's better for the men in the family to have knowledge and be more knowledgeable.

"He's lying in the room, I'll call him."

Ye Eldest Sister-in-law and Ye Er Sister-in-law had already started to sort them. They said enviously: "Your harvest is really not small. I didn't expect there to be so many things to pick up in typhoon weather."

"Yes, these few mud crabs are very big and hard. Just these few can sell for several yuan."

"That grouper must be more expensive!"

"I saw you run back in a hurry to take a water bucket and run, and you didn't respond when I asked in the back. It turned out to be to take a water bucket to hold the grouper. You are also too unkind, and didn't call us..."

Lin Xiuqing was a bit embarrassed by Ye Er Sister-in-law. She wasn't intentional, just anxious, so she took it and ran.

"I was just anxious, afraid the fish would die, and didn't think too much for a moment," she said, and slapped a few small hands. "You are not allowed to be naughty, if you get bitten by a crab later, don't cry!"

Suddenly, the big sea eel in the bucket flicked its tail and bumped into the basin, scaring several children to retreat!

"Ah~ that fish is so fierce!"

Ye Yaodong waved his big hand and quickly drove them all away. "Go, go, all go to one side to play, don't get in the way here!"

"Pfft~" several little brats made faces, and taking advantage of the rain stopping again, they ran out of the house to play.

Ye Fu was also called out by Ye Mu to take a look. Looking at the grouper in the bucket, he opened his mouth in surprise. "Where did you find it? Do we have this kind of grouper here?"

The third son's luck has been a bit good lately? He even found such a rare fish. This is more expensive than a tiger grouper, and tiger grouper is just an ordinary variety among groupers.

"Found it in the reef area near Dongqiao Village. Just went to the beach to see how big the waves were, and saw the tide was just receding, so I went down to wander around. The waves on the beach were rolling higher and higher, it should have been rolled in by the waves."

"Possibly."

This grouper generally lives in the Taiwan Strait area. Thinking that they are very close to the islands there, it makes sense that this fish was rolled in by the waves.

"This fish is more expensive than tiger grouper. How much it can sell for depends on asking Acai," Ye Fu looked at the big basin on the ground again. "Pick these up too, pick out everything that can be sold and take it to Acai's house together. Keep the ones that aren't worth much for the family to eat."

"Don't know if he accepts goods in typhoon weather?"

"Accepts. His house can add oxygen, raising it won't die. It's the same if he turns around and sells it after the typhoon passes."

"Mm."

If it weren't for the typhoon weather, there were no passing buses, and travel was inconvenient, and his family couldn't add oxygen to raise it, he would have wanted to carry the bucket to the hotel in town to ask if they accept it, to avoid being earned a hand. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
