After stepping into the courtyard gate, Aqing pulled him and asked: "Why didn't you say it was so dangerous at that time?"

At that time, seeing him return fully loaded and bringing back a pile of goods, the whole family was very happy. He didn't say how dangerous it was, just said a few words lightly, and everyone didn't pay special attention to it.

Today, if she hadn't heard him talking to those cousins, she wouldn't have known it was so dangerous.

Sure enough, money is not easy to earn, and such high returns are accompanied by high risks.

"It's not as exaggerated as Brother Yasheng said. Actually, it's okay. We all thought of it in advance. Except for staying in the village when we first went, we basically changed places after one shot, staying for two or three days at most."

"We stayed on an isolated island for the last few days. If we go this year, we will definitely plan it well. You don't have to worry, I'm more afraid of death than you."

After so long, he didn't believe he was a nine-lived cat, and he would definitely not be so reckless again. He had to plan well before he could go again.

Lin Xiuqing was half-believing. It had been so long, and now she couldn't settle old scores and bring it up.

The old lady saw them return in the house, but they stood at the door for a long time and didn't come in, so she hurriedly walked out and said: "Hurry into the house, the food is ready, just waiting for you to come back. Hurry in and eat, you must be tired from going up and down the mountain, right?"

"Hey, coming."

Ye Yaodong threw the broom in his hand behind the courtyard gate, then put his hands on Lin Xiuqing's shoulders and pushed her forward from behind.

"Don't struggle, it's a matter for the second half of the year, why think about it now? Still think about catching squid next month, you'll have to count money until your hands cramp again."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glared at him while walking. "You only know how to say nice things."

"Then do you love to hear it?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, the corners of her mouth raised, and she didn't answer. The old lady was still there, so flirting was inappropriate.

A family with an old person is like a treasure. Although the old lady is old, her hands and feet are still flexible, and simple daily things are no problem.

Next door returned, and it was cold pots and stoves, and they had to light a fire to cook. They could eat hot food as soon as they returned, and even Ye Fu and Ye Mu who came over later benefited.

"Looking at it, there's not much rain today. We have to prepare to go to sea at night."

Ye Yaodong nodded while eating. "Know."

"Are those dried sea lettuce, dried sea melon seeds, etc. easy to sell? Seeing the women around following to dig and dry them, your aunts and uncles also want to do it, and want to go dig and dry them to sell to you."

"Fine, I'll collect them if I have them, but pay attention to safety. Don't go if you are old. From morning till night, busy for several days, you can only dry a little bit. It will be stronger than weaving nets at home, but it is also tiring."

"Then I'll pass it on to them. You fenced this courtyard, and raised so many dogs, relatives don't dare to come to the door to visit."

"Only then is it safe."

"Safe what? Relatives don't dare to come to the door, and after a long time, the human touch will be gone."

"What do you know?" Ye Fu glared at Ye Mu.

Ye Mu raised her eyebrows and said confidently: "What don't I know? Where is it wrong to say this? Once the wall is fenced, who dares to come to the door to visit, and no one dares to pass by the door."

"What you said is funny, Mom. If there is anything, just shout at the door, isn't that enough? Can I not let people in? Is this called no human touch? If your aunts have anything to find you, isn't it the same?"

"How can it be the same? Visiting more often, talking, the relationship will be good. Otherwise, people will say you have money, and you don't recognize poor relatives. Everyone can't even step into the door."

Ye Fu knocked on Ye Mu's rice bowl. "You talk too much, eat your rice. People love to say whatever they want. Do you have to leave someone at home all day to entertain relatives who come to the door? Are you too full? If you are too full, don't eat."

Hearing this, Ye Mu was angry and wanted to throw a tantrum, but Ye Yaodong directly lowered his face. "If you want to argue, go out and argue. Don't argue here, is the rice still for people to eat?"

"Can't even let people talk? The father and son are now speaking in one voice, and I am an outsider. I have served you for decades, and in the end, now I can't even talk. You say what I have done for half my life..."

Ye Yaodong had black lines all over his face and looked at his father. They accelerated the speed of eating without agreement, and no one wanted to make a sound. If they made a sound, his mother would definitely nag and say something again...

"Serving your whole family as masters every day, but turning around, I am not good anywhere, not right anywhere..."

"I'm finished..." Ye Yaodong hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly went into the house to hide.

"I'm finished too..." Ye Fu hurriedly put down his chopsticks and hurriedly went to the door.

The father and son hid if they could. They couldn't afford to offend, but couldn't they hide?

Ye Mu saw the father and son walk away as soon as they finished speaking, and she was almost angry to death.

"Look, look, no one wants to listen to me anymore."

Lin Xiuqing didn't answer, silently feeding Ye Xiaoxi.

The old lady said helplessly: "Stop talking a few words, nagging more than me, who is willing to listen? And it's not a three-year-old child. If I nag in your ear all day, you have to drive me out."

After speaking, she also collected the bowl and chopsticks, put them by the stove, and picked up the radio, sitting at the door. She doesn't look at the daughter-in-law's face to support her old age now, why should she listen to her nagging?

Ye Mu looked at the dining table and it was empty, leaving only Aqing holding the child and feeding there, almost angry to death, but she was not good at getting angry at Lin Xiuqing, she was still sitting at her house eating.

She had no choice but to hold back her anger, and she couldn't eat the rice in the bowl, but it was a waste not to eat it, so she had to stuff a few mouthfuls into it and go home.

Damn old man, ran so fast.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the dining table and it was clean, leaving only her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It is inevitable that the whole family will have disagreements and argue, and it is already very good that they didn't argue with anger.

After feeding the child and holding her back to the room to let Ye Yaodong watch, she sat down and ate a meal with peace of mind.

Ye Yaodong felt that fencing the courtyard was a very wise move. Some people have no sense of boundaries. Fencing a courtyard can achieve multiple goals, which is quite good, and he doesn't want to listen to his mother's nagging.

"Call Dad!"

"Papa papa~"

"That's not wrong, but our local dialect is called Dad, hmm~ call it whatever you want."

"Come, call Mom again?"

Originally Ye Xiaoxi didn't look for her mother, but when she heard him say "call Mom", she hurriedly looked around in the house, and her body twisted towards the bed.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly changed the subject, avoiding her sticking to her mother again. Her mother still had to eat, and had to clean up after eating.

"Call Brother and listen? Brother?"

"Brother~" Ye Xiaoxi was really distracted.

"Hahaha~"

The father and daughter taught each other, which was quite happy. From time to time, giggling, silver bell-like sounds could be heard from the room.

Lin Xiuqing smiled knowingly while eating, and accelerated the speed of eating.

The father and daughter were tired of playing and lay side by side, one talking, and the other continuing to respond with 'ah-ah-oh-oh'. Unexpectedly, they both fell asleep while talking.

When Lin Xiuqing finished her work and entered the room, there was no sound in the room. The father and daughter were lying on their sides facing inside, in the same posture. She smiled and covered them with the quilt, and then went out to do other things.

Ye Yaodong just squinted for a while and woke up, but there was nothing to do, so he continued to lie on the bed to accompany the child to sleep.

Until he finished dinner, he lay down and slept soundly early again.

Sufficient sleep during the day, waking up on time at night, people can also be spirited and refreshed.

The sea breeze whistled past his ears, and the faint light of the headlamp illuminated the front. Ye Yaodong could imagine that for the next 20 years, he would have to gallop on the sea, and what should be different is the size of the boat.

In this life, he can also be considered to be one step ahead, walking at the forefront of fishing.
