Chapter 646: Except for X, it is the mouth

~12 min read 2,333 words

Ye eldest sister-in-law also frowned, "Simply not human, now they don't let give birth to many, it is heartbreaking if the child is gone."

"That is to say, the previous generation gave birth to eight or nine or ten, and one or two that couldn't be raised would also be heartbroken. Only those who are cruel can be indifferent. Fortunately, our village didn't lose children."

"Almost lost, fortunately, when the New Year was there, everyone in our village watched closely. As soon as the peddler carried a burden into the village, everyone stared from beginning to end..."

"I heard that our village was praised for catching human traffickers, and it is said that there will be rewards..."

The topic suddenly deviated, and they didn't struggle with the matter of asking Ye Mu to help.

Lin Xiuqing had heard about it at home, and didn't express her opinion, but touched the heads of the two sons, telling them not to make trouble, and to do it seriously if they wanted to work.

Ye Mu also stood for a while, and greeted the two sisters to go back to continue killing fish. The two daughters-in-law couldn't bear to spend money to hire people, so they had to do it themselves. If she could free up her hands, she would help, and if she couldn't, there was no way.

She looked at Ye Fu who was squatting, "Are these shells moved? You go in and eat first?"

Ye Fu nodded.

However, as soon as he went in, he poured the dishes onto the rice, served them in a large bowl, and brought them over, squatting by the pile of shells and watching the children work while eating.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were the same. The father and son each held a large bowl, either sitting on the steps or squatting there watching everyone work and eating.

By the way, discuss a few sentences, how much can these dug out sell for? Can it be sold?

"These things, there are as many as rice here, everyone doesn't like to eat them, and they are too lazy to dig. Will people outside like to eat our things by the sea in the countryside? These shells don't have much meat, and no one wants them if they are given away."

As soon as the two brothers said this, Ye eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law stopped their work.

"No one wants them? Then Adong still wants them, the quantity today is quite a lot..."

"Hey? Where is Adong? Just saw him standing here."

"Rode a bicycle and left, said to go to the old house to get a big basin. Don't worry, Dongzi definitely won't play with people. If he says he wants it, he definitely won't let you smash it in your hands. Just rest assured and dry it."

"Dried fish, aren't there as many as rice here? Someone wants it too. If you are busy, you will continue to go out to sea at night, dig a little more, maybe when there is no weather."

Ye Fu swallowed the rice in his mouth and comforted them, so as not to worry and think too much.

"It's a pity that we can't find anyone to look at the shop in the city, otherwise we would try to sell it ourselves. That shop is empty there, and we can't even earn a rent."

"Isn't it? I don't know what to buy it for. Several thousand yuan spent and it is empty there. If you want to earn a rent, you can't."

"We don't have time to go to the city to see it, don't know what it looks like..."

"Are there a few shops open in the city now?"

"Ghost knows..."

Ye Yaodong happened to ride a bicycle back, heard it, didn't say anything, didn't walk over, and went home directly.

What's there to say? It's not his responsibility, his pot, he was moved by himself, and where will it lose money in the future?

Sigh, good people are hard to be!

"Bought it, still talk about this? Don't think about good things."

Ye Fu was too lazy to listen. After speaking, he took the empty rice bowl and went back to the next door. Let them toss, toss.

Ye Yaodong put the black-backed ray into the big basin, sprinkled with fine ice, and covered it with two layers of broken clothes. After settling it, he wanted to find the stone fish caught today.

Who knew that he looked for several water buckets and didn't see it. Did it run away with long legs?

"Mother, did you see my stone fish?"

"What stone fish? Where is there any stone fish? Didn't you tell you to throw it away when you were on the boat?" Ye Fu stood on the side and was puzzled, just watching him turn around, it turned out he was looking for stone fish.

"That thing is ugly, and it is poisonous. What is it for? I directly put it with the fish belly and internal organs, threw it into the bucket, and waited for a while to take it to the seaside and pour it back into the sea."

"What? You prodigal, still say I am prodigal, I specifically left it back, you actually threw it away for me."

Ye Yaodong took the water bucket beside her, and it was full of fish scales, fish gills, and fish bellies. The stone fish was covered so that only a little bit of the body was exposed. If you didn't look carefully, you thought it was garbage.

He reached out and wanted to take it out, but was patted down by his mother with the back of a knife, "What are you doing? Just throw it away, what are you taking it out for? Still dare to reach out, if you are not careful, you will lose your life."

"What do you want the fish for? You shouldn't want to eat it, right?"

"Right, you don't know how tender the fish meat is..."

"Want to die, right to your head, this fish is poisonous..."

"The spines on the back are poisonous, the fish meat is not poisonous, a bit like a devil fish, only the spines are poisonous, it has nothing to do with the meat."

"What are you tossing about? It's not that you haven't eaten anything, there are so many fish at home, why eat this? Ugly, like a stone, what's delicious?"

"What do you know?"

People live in the world, eat, drink, pull, and sprinkle, eating is the first place!

And for men, except for b, there is only the mouth left.

Things in the sea, can they be eaten? He knows more than them. In this life, he has to taste everything delicious to be worthy.

Ye Yaodong skillfully removed the whole row of poisonous spines on its back with scissors, and then peeled off its fish skin with a knife. Ye Fu's knife was taken away, so he could only sit and watch, and muttered by the way, "Everything can be eaten when it reaches your mouth?"

"You used to take us to catch grasshoppers to eat, are you embarrassed to say me?"

"That one is fragrant to roast."

"Wait for me to show you a hand, and you will know, go and get me a bowl to hold it."

Lin Xiuqing had been in the room changing clothes for several children. In a month or two, the weather would warm up, and their clothes would be long and short, so they had to be changed to continue wearing.

After she changed one, she wanted to go out and make a cup of malted milk for the two sons, and call them back to drink and sleep, but saw Ye Yaodong holding a spatula by the stove and scooping something?

"Didn't you eat enough for dinner?"

"No, I caught a stone fish today, and I wanted to stew fish soup to make up for your milk. This fish is very fresh and tender, super delicious."

Lin Xiuqing looked up at him and asked in surprise: "Are you trying to poison me to death and change a wife?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn't stone fish poisonous?"

"That's the spine is poisonous, what does it have to do with the meat?"

"Are you sure?"

"If I wasn't sure, would I dare to ask you to eat it? I would rather poison myself to death than poison you to death."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, she didn't believe it, and turned to go to the room.

"Hey, don't worry, the fish meat is not poisonous. It's just like a devil fish, only the spines are poisonous. It's just that the fish is a bit ugly and not easy to catch, so no one eats it."

Ye Yaodong couldn't stop her, so he planned to eat it himself. Unexpectedly, she immediately rushed out and didn't let him eat it.

"You wait..."

"What for? I'll try the poison for you first, see how much I love you."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the bracelet and didn't change color, so she was relieved.

"I'm afraid of death, and I'm afraid of becoming a widow."

"Look, I told you it can be eaten. Can I not know whether it can be eaten?"

The fish soup in the spoon was drunk in one gulp, and then he scooped another spoonful to her mouth.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the bracelet and didn't change color, so she was relieved.

"I don't eat it, the milk is so much that it's about to burst every day, you eat it yourself, I'll call the two children back to sleep, so they won't be able to get out of bed every day."

Just then, they heard the exclamation and joy at the door.

The couple looked at each other.

"What's the matter?"

"Opened a pearl?" Ye Yaodong guessed, otherwise, why would they be so happy?

"I'll go see, I was planning to go over."

Ye Yaodong also put down the soup bowl and followed out.

As soon as he went outside, the sound was clearer, and a pearl was really opened.

The luck is really good!

This also shows that there are really not many people visiting the surrounding islands, and I don't know how long these shellfish have been growing.

"This one is quite round, and it's as big as a bean, it must be able to sell for a price."

"This is enough, even if no one wants these things, we won't lose."

"What do you lose? Dongzi has already agreed, and gave it to him after drying it, still say lose?" Ye Fu couldn't help but say, this bead was opened by him.

Two women were killing fish there and couldn't free their hands. Ye Fu thought that his old companion was helping the third son kill fish, and he had nothing to do for a while, so he came to help them do some work.

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Ye Yaodong watched them holding a bead, holding it high, and shining it back and forth under the light, "Dad's luck is quite good today..."

Ye Fu was proud, everyone was excited and only cared about looking at the pearls, rarely Dongzi still knew how to say two pleasant words.

"I think so too. My mouth feels like it has been opened today. Whatever I say is spiritual. Just now I was saying

"What are you losing? Dongzi already agreed and gave it to him after it was dried, and you still say you're losing?" Ye Fu couldn't help but say. He was the one who opened this pearl.

The two women were killing fish there and couldn't spare their hands. Ye Fu thought that his wife was helping the third son kill fish, and he had nothing to do for the moment, so he came to help them with some work.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Ye Yaodong watched them holding a pearl, holding it high, and using the light to shine it back and forth, saying: "Dad's luck is quite good today..."

Ye Fu was proud. Everyone was so excited that they only cared about looking at the pearl. It was rare for Dongzi to say something pleasant.

"I think so too. My mouth feels like it was blessed today; whatever I say comes true. I was just saying there, digging so many bags, I wonder if I could open one or two pearls? I didn't expect there really to be some."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "We were talking about it earlier too. There are still so many bags, who knows if we can open more!"

"Yes, yes, yes, keep digging..."

"Oh my, there are so many baskets of dried fish here, I wonder when we'll finish killing them?"

They also didn't really want to kill fish anymore, thinking about whether to invite two relatives from the mother's side to help. Charity begins at home; otherwise, they would have to go out to sea at night, and they couldn't handle it.

However, when they continued to open them for the second, third, and fourth night, they didn't manage to open any more.

The surrounding neighbors heard about it and were stirred up, thinking about following them out to sea to dig for these shells. They had already followed the trend the year before last, but after having no harvest, they gave up. These past two days, it had started to revive again.

However, Ye Yaodong did not promise the neighbors that he would buy their clam meat, mussel meat, or anything like that.

His second brother hadn't even dried them out yet, and he hadn't taken them to the market to sell them, so he didn't know if anyone wanted them. How could he dare to promise others?

How could he do it without trying first? He didn't have that much money to lose; he could try a little bit.
