Chapter 61: After the typhoon

After nightfall, the wind was strong and the rain was pouring. Compared with the night, the day was just a small witch meeting a big witch. The basins and soup basins they used to catch water in the house were poured several times, and the table by the window was smashed by rainwater, wet for a whole piece. Lin Xiuqing specially laid a foot-wiping cloth.

The two children were also not afraid of the strong wind and rain outside, and were still playing with candles secretly......

Ye Chenghu carefully stretched his fingers into the candle oil under the wick, and then took it out, and his fingers had a layer of white candle cap.

Until all ten fingers had candle caps, he crushed them one by one, and then continued to repeat......

Ye Chengyang didn't know where he got a toothpick, and was there fiddling with the wick, stirring the candle oil......

The candles were shaken by them, flickering. The couple found the two naughty ones, slapped their butts, and they jumped around on the bed for a circle, howling for a while before they honestly lay down to sleep.

Ye Yaodong leaned on the edge of the bed, closing his eyes to rest. He had no place to lie down, couldn't sleep, and the sound outside was also very loud.

His eldest brother and second brother's rooms were also leaking rain on the bed, and they were all three children, all sent to Grandma's and his parents' rooms.

Everyone had to squeeze together at night, first to survive this night.

"Both are asleep, I have a place here for you to lie down for a while."

"It's fine, you sleep, I can't sleep, it's the same to make up for sleep during the day tomorrow, I'll go pour all the water."

Afraid of affecting their sleep, he went to the main room to stay after pouring the water, saw a few long benches, and put two together to lie down and doze off for a while.

Sleeping on the bench was not stable, and he woke up as soon as there was movement. Touching the clothes on his chest, he whispered: "Why are you up?"

"Hug Yangyang to pee, didn't see you, so I came out to see."

"The typhoon should have passed, and it's almost dawn, you go back and sleep for a while."

"You go in and sleep!"

"No need, you go in and accompany the two children, otherwise they will cry if they wake up and don't see you."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him deeply and went into the room.

This was the first time that he didn't sleep like a dead pig in typhoon weather, and he also accommodated their mother and three, unlike in previous years when she leaned on the head of the bed and pretended to sleep all night.

After the sky was just bright, Ye Yaodong sat up. At this time, the old woman also supported an umbrella and opened the lock from the back door to come in. She lived in a small room in the backyard.

"Did Dongzi sleep on the bench last night? Oh, how can you sleep like this? Look, your face and neck have been bitten by mosquitoes with many bags, quickly use saliva to wipe it."

He grabbed it casually and said indifferently: "It's fine, it won't itch in a while. The ground is wet, you must hold the wall when you go in and out, be careful."

"Hey hey, I know, do you want to lie down in my room for a while? Ahai is still sleeping......"

"No, I'll go to the seaside to see if the waves are big."

He took the coir raincoat hanging behind the door and went out.

At this time, there were also many villagers wearing coir raincoats walking on the road. They were all out to see if the typhoon had passed. Everyone greeted each other, all saying how strong the wind was last night and how big the rain was.

"Why is Dongzi up so early?"

"Mm, couldn't sleep, so I came out to see."

"Let's go to the seaside to see together, everyone is walking toward the seaside......"

He nodded casually, his footsteps didn't stop. It was just a neighbor uncle, and they weren't very familiar.

Walking, he looked at the degree of impact on the village. Along the way, a few small trees fell, and many people's roof tiles were blown all over the ground by the wind, and there were straw flying around, and garbage and stagnant water pits everywhere, looking messy.

By the time he walked to the shore, the sky was a bit brighter, and many villagers were already standing on the shore.

He saw from afar the rolling sea waves constantly rushing high and returning. The turbid seawater rose to a height that could not be reached at ordinary times. The surrounding villagers discussed one after another that the typhoon had passed, and after the sea level calmed down, everyone could go out to sea to catch fish again.

Ye Fu and he also arrived at the shore one after another. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and there were more and more people around. Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came out. Living off the sea, what the villagers cared most about was when the sea waves would recede.

One by one, they stood on the shore and couldn't bear to leave until the sun rose from the sea level, and the village broadcast was also playing the morning news that the typhoon had landed in Zhejiang Province, so everyone felt relieved and returned one after another to eat breakfast.

Ye Eldest Brother asked while eating: "Father, every room of ours leaked water badly yesterday. Should we take advantage of the free time today to check the tiles on the roof and repair them?"

"Mm, need to. It is estimated that they were blown off and displaced by the typhoon last night, so the room leaked badly. There are still some tiles in the backyard. After eating, I will set up a ladder and climb up to see."

"Then Father, can our house start construction again tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow, it's all wet everywhere now, and the mountain is also muddy, and the water level by the stream has risen, so it's not convenient to pick up stones. Start construction a day later."

"Then when can we go out to sea?" The two brothers asked in turn.

"It's impossible tonight. The waves at the pier are still very big, and the outer sea must still be affected. Let's see how the tide is tomorrow. There should be more goods after the typhoon."

Ye Yaohua had seen Ye Yaodong's harvest yesterday. Since they were free today, he was eager to go to the beach. "Then being idle is also idle, let's go to the beach for a spin when the tide starts to recede, and see if there are any big goods to pick up."

Ye Mu was also very moved. "At that time, everyone go see together, pick up some seafood to match the dishes."

"We also want to go to the beach!"

"Yes, we also want to go to the beach to play......"

"No, it's beachcombing, you silly, will you speak, we also want to go beachcombing!" Ye Chenghai looked at this group of younger brothers and sisters with hatred for iron not becoming steel.

"Yes, yes, we also go beachcombing!"

"Where are you everywhere, eat quickly, the tide hasn't receded yet, the waves are big, none of you are allowed to go to the seaside, if you are swept into the waves, no one can save you," Ye Mu looked at several grandchildren seriously and earnestly. "Hear it?"

"Heard it." Everyone responded in unison.

From childhood to adulthood, what they heard most was not allowed to go to the seaside alone, and not allowed to swim in the sea when there were no adults, and everyone remembered it very firmly.

But what disappointed everyone was that even though the typhoon had passed, the tide did not recede immediately today, only the water level dropped a little.

The hope of beachcombing fell through. The children were not very disappointed. They could play other things if they couldn't go to the seaside. The adults were the most disappointed.

It was sunny for a whole day until noon the next day, when the tide gradually receded, and the Ye family immediately went out in full force to the beach with high enthusiasm. ===== CHAPTER 62 =====

It stayed clear for a whole day, and not until noon the next day did the tide gradually recede. The Ye family immediately set out for the beach in full force, their enthusiasm running high.
