Chapter 705

~12 min read 2,310 words

Nestled comfortably at home for two days, he thought that after the weather cleared up, he would go out to sea immediately, but he didn't expect that it only cleared up for one day, and at night it started to drizzle again, and this rain lasted for more than ten days.

Ye Yaodong sat at the door, lying on a rocking chair, looking at the curtain of rain at the door, feeling a bit cozy. If there were a few small tea tables at hand, with some tea and snacks on them, it would be even better.

The old lady also came out with needlework and pants and sat at the door.

He hurriedly stood up to let her lie down. Originally, this rocking chair was also hers, but occasionally when the old lady didn't lie down, he just occupied the magpie's nest.

"You lie down, you lie down, I need to sew some pants."

"I'll go back to the room to lie down, and watch the children by the way. This rainy day is really uncomfortable."

Lin Xiuqing stood by the stove, collecting the clothes that were being roasted on the pot lid, "Who says it isn't? You can't even walk out the door. Fortunately, there is no shortage of food and drink at home, but the clothes won't dry, and they have to be baked on the pot lid every day."

"Cool~ cool~ Dad~ Dad~" Ye Xiaoxi stood at the door of the room holding the wall, her words were unclear, calling out there, revealing two small millet teeth, looking very cute.

Lin Xiuqing turned her head and smiled slightly, "You go into the room and take out the diapers for me to bake, and watch the children by the way. After one year old, she might be able to walk. If you don't see her for a while, she will hold the wall and walk around the room."

Ye Yaodong also walked over with a full face of smiles and picked up the little person, "Did you just wake up, climb down from the bed yourself, and come out to call people?"

"Dad~"

Ye Xiaoxi shouted while greeting Ye Yaodong's face with her chubby little hands. After patting a few times, she leaned over and smeared his face with saliva.

Ye Yaodong's heart was about to melt. No matter how much he kissed, it wasn't enough. He even forgot that his wife told him to take the diapers, and just played on the bed with the child. When Lin Xiuqing came in after collecting the clothes and saw it, she nagged and complained a lot.

"I don't know when it will clear up. The diapers are not dry enough. After wrapping her, her butt is red, and a large patch of eczema has grown."

"I told you to make more diapers, you didn't listen, make more tomorrow."

"Why make so many? She is already one year old, and the weather is getting hot. When it gets hotter, you don't need to wrap it, and you can quit soon."

Lin Xiuqing didn't count on him to work anymore, and said while folding clothes: "The opera is the day after tomorrow, is the opera troupe coming tomorrow night?"

"Coming early the day after tomorrow morning, then set up the stage in the morning, perform from 1:30 to 4:00 in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and perform from 7:00 to 9:30 in the evening, for five consecutive days."

"Then should we take the stools early to occupy seats? If it still rains the day after tomorrow, it will be really uncomfortable. It's not far, but walking over will get you wet. It was fine, but it actually rained for so many days, it's really annoying."

"Heaven wants to rain, mother wants to remarry, what can be done? I will take the stools over in advance tomorrow night, I hope it won't rain tomorrow and the day after."

I don't know if it rained for so many days and it was enough, but not long after the couple finished talking, they woke up from their nap and found that the rain had stopped, and there was even a rainbow.

Ye Chengyang stood at the door jumping up and down, shouting excitedly, "There is a rainbow, so beautiful~"

"Finally, the rain has cleared."

There was movement next door too, "The hole leaked by God has finally been patched again."

"Isn't it? The clothes can finally be taken out to dry, they are almost moldy."

"People are going to be moldy, let alone clothes. Fortunately, there is no water leaking at home now, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable."

Lin Xiuqing also thought of the old house, turned her head and asked Ye Yaodong, "It's cleared up, do you want to go to the old house to take a look? It rained for so many days, and I haven't been there. I don't know how the water is leaking in the old house."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "I'll ride my bicycle to take a look."

The roof tiles of the old house were just repaired a while ago. This time it was just light rain, but it lasted a long time. It didn't leak much water, but it was too damp. The door panel of the main gate was almost rotten, and several mushrooms grew.

When Ye Yaodong went over, Ye's father was turning around on the door panel, and was measuring the door panel with his palm, muttering there, "It's useless, it's an old partner for decades, it's time to change it."

"This broken door, it can fall to the ground with a kick, it should have been changed long ago. Take advantage of the clearing, let's install a new door panel in these two days."

Ye's father glanced at him, "What you said is very simple, changing the door depends on the day, where can you dismantle it as you say, and change it as you say. See if there is time in these two days, if there is no time, call a carpenter to make one, and install it when there is a day."

"Call a carpenter to make it, why waste this time? People who make wood are more professional than you. It takes you five days to make one, and it takes them at most two days. And the rain has cleared, I guess I can go out to sea again."

"Hmm, what are you doing here?"

"Look at you, what else can I do? Can't I come here if there's nothing to do?"

Ye's father muttered in his heart: He is quite filial.

"We have nothing to do, you go do what you should do."

"By the way, Dad, are you really not considering moving to our place?"

"Why move there? Don't want this good house? You have too much money, or I have too much money? Go go go, your mother and I live here very well."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, if you don't move, forget it.

Seeing that they had nothing to do and the old house didn't leak much water, he got on his bicycle and went back.

This rain cleared up, and it really cleared up thoroughly. Not long after the rainbow appeared, there was even a sunset glow in the evening.

Since it had cleared up, Ye Yaodong and Ye's father went out to sea as usual at night.

Without preparing bait in advance, today they specifically trawled.

They hadn't been out to sea for more than ten days, but the father and son were not that urgent. They had accumulated some money in their hands. With money in hand, they don't panic about anything.

The fishing net was slowly put into the sea, opening its bloody mouth like a hungry giant dragon, sinking to the bottom of the sea, and the fishing boat also moved forward at a constant speed, starting a new day of work.

Ye Yaodong looked up at the sky full of stars, the curved moon shining brightly, and estimated in his heart that it would be good weather after dawn, and it shouldn't rain again.

This time, the sky was beautiful, which could make the upcoming Mazu birthday more perfect and lively.

The fishing boat was working at a constant speed on the sea, and from time to time, one could see faint lights moving in the distance, which were also fishing boats working at sea.

At this time, a fishing boat passing by at high speed attracted his attention.

Because when he was working, he had been intentionally controlling the fishing boat to stay not far from the Oarfish Island.

He hadn't forgotten the Luzhoudao fishing boat that had been docked at the Oarfish Island for a while, and wanted to see if they would appear today?

It rained for a long time this time, and I guess they hadn't come out for so many days.

I don't know what they were doing on this island for several consecutive days?

This fishing boat that just passed by quickly was heading exactly towards the Oarfish Island, which made him have to pay attention. He also changed the direction of the fishing boat slightly, moved closer to the island, and wandered around in the vicinity.

From afar, he really saw faint lights staying on the reef shore, swaying slightly with the waves.

The sky was too dark to see the figures clearly, only two fainter lights swaying and moving away towards the island.

Ye's father also noticed, "Is it the Luzhoudao boat again? Did they go to the island with flashlights?"

"Should be. In the past few times, we were all setting longlines in other places first. When we came here to collect shrimp cages after finishing, we only saw the boat docked on the shore. This is the first time we've bumped into them sailing straight to that island."

"Is there any treasure?"

"God knows, if there was treasure, there shouldn't be only one boat and two flashlight lights, right?"

"Forget it, don't worry about them, you trawl seriously, don't keep staring at them, so as not to hit the reef later. The reef is nearby, be careful."

"Got it."

"Go further away, don't wander around here, so as not to let them react and rob us on the way. Stay away from them, it's safer."

Since it didn't involve himself, Ye's father didn't care that much, just felt it was strange. The top priority was of course to avoid them and trawl on their own. Why care what they were doing on the island?

However, it seemed that they were quite purposeful.

In just this short while, he saw the light of the flashlight moving upwards continuously. It wasn't swaying around the beach shore, so that guess about beachcombing could be ruled out.

Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

The fishing boat went straight to the destination, and after the people got off the boat, they went straight to the mountain. Don't let them really discover something?

"Dad, what do you think is on the island?"

"There are seabirds, seabird eggs, and wild chickens and rabbits. Recently, wild strawberries should have grown too..."

Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines. His father was returning the words he had said before to him.

Since when did he also have this kind of humor?

"Do you think there will be anything valuable on the island?"

"What valuable things can there be on a desert island?"

"Then otherwise, why would it be worth them taking the trouble to go to the island for several days? Not even working?"

"Don't know, you ask me, I ask who? Keep asking, asking, asking, I'm not them, what can you ask out of me?"

"Isn't this because there is strength in numbers, letting you think about it too? This abnormal situation must have a demon. There must be something. I don't know if the people who went to the island these few days are all the same group?"

"Don't know."

Ye Yaodong kept pondering there, but Ye's father kept responding with the three words "Don't know".

It wasn't until the fishing boat went further and further away that he didn't continue to struggle.

They couldn't be seen, and they weren't under his nose, and he was about to collect the net again. When he got busy, he didn't have time to struggle.

However, before returning in the evening, when they went to the reef to collect shrimp cages, they saw the boat at close range again.

This must have been there since last night and hadn't left!

Ye Yaodong was quite sure in his heart.

Looking at the fishing boat still floating there motionless, he thought for a while, "Shall we go closer to take a look, and then leave immediately?"

Ye's father frowned, "What if someone is on the boat and is about to sail out..."

"Shouldn't be, it takes time to start and sail."

"What are you doing? Didn't you get close a few days ago?"

"I didn't look carefully at that time. I saw the logo on the fishing boat and immediately turned around. I didn't look carefully at what was on their boat? Wait, let's get closer and take a peek?"

Ye's father saw that he had already sailed the boat in that direction, and saw that he seemed to be very concerned and cared about it, so he didn't say anything, just told him to be careful, take a peek, react quickly, and leave quickly.

Ye Yaodong also saw that the boat was still docked on the shore, so he thought about being bold and getting close to take a look.

It wasn't until he got close and took another look that he gave up and hurriedly turned the boat around to leave.
