Chapter 708

Ye Yaodong had only a pair of shorts left and sat at the table waiting, and pinched his daughter's little face by the way.

"Did you miss Dad?"

"Ah Dad~ Dad~"

"Good!"

The old lady patted him on the shoulder on the side, "Will it be cold? I'll go and close the door. Your mother went out without closing the door. The wind blowing at night will be cool..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and brought the basin with mixed water to him, then went to get him a towel and handed it to him.

"You hurry up and wipe it, your body is wet, don't catch a cold, I'll go to the room to get you clothes."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong first wrung a towel and washed his face, then started to wipe his body.

There was work waiting for him, he made a quick decision, wrung two or three towels and finished washing his upper body.

The lower body was also fast, rubbed in front, rubbed behind, rubbed thighs, stretched two feet into the basin to soak, and wiped with a foot cloth to solve it.

Lin Xiuqing took the clothes out to wash, and he finished washing.

"So fast?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at her and didn't speak.

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Finished washing, then put on clothes first, so as not to catch a cold."

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuqing virtuously took his foot-washing water to the back door to pour it out, and then asked when she came back: "You haven't said why you came back alone? And your whole body is soaked."

Ye Yaodong smiled this time, "I'll tell you when I go back to the room at night, I don't have time to explain in detail now, give me five yuan, I'm going out."

"It's so late, what are you going to buy? And five yuan is so much? Are you going after eating? Why are you so anxious?"

This man is spending money more and more lavishly now, acting first and reporting later. He can't keep too much money in his hands.

A pack of cigarettes is only 20 cents now, why do you suddenly want five yuan?

"No time to eat, I'm going to buy two buckets of paint, do serious business, I'm afraid the shop will close if it's late, and I'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow is tomorrow, is it to paint and maintain the boat? No wonder you swam back, let Dad sell the goods at the pier first, I'll get it for you."

This time Lin Xiuqing went into the room to get money very simply.

Ye Yaodong didn't explain. There is no way to explain in detail now, so he can only tell her slowly on the pillow at night.

After getting the money, he rode his bicycle and went out in a hurry. Lin Xiuqing kept calling him to eat first, but he didn't listen.

The words on the boat are black, and it is not easy to cover with other colors. He pondered to buy a bucket of black to cover it better, and paint a layer of black on the whole boat body.

Then use other colors to make marks. He still has red and white paint left at home, which can come in handy.

But the small shop in the village doesn't have such complete colors. The most common ones are white, green, red, and blue. These colors cannot cover the black well. No matter how many layers are painted, there will be black marks.

He had to run to the town temporarily. Anyway, the town is quite lively now, and there are shops open at night. It's only been a short while since it got dark, so it shouldn't be time to sleep yet.

The fishing boat is running aground on the beach, he is quite at ease, it is completely dark, and no one will go to the beach.

He pedaled his bicycle quickly. There were no street lights on this road to the town, it was dark, and he came out in a hurry, didn't bring a flashlight, and could only move forward with the moonlight.

However, he had walked this road for decades and was very familiar with it. He would walk it with his eyes closed.

The paint shop in the town was already closed, but the shop was also their own home, so he knocked on the door and called people directly.

When he came out, there were two 5kg buckets of paint in his hands. He hung these two buckets of paint on the back seat of the bicycle, one on each side, which happened to be balanced, but it kept hitting the rear wheel, making a rattling sound.

Ye Yaodong could only slow down the speed of returning.

It was not easy to bring back a big boat. After a busy day, he couldn't even eat a bite when he came back, and he was still running outside. He was already hungry, and his stomach didn't know how many times it had called.

But these are all small things, and smooth sailing is the most important thing.

Touching the darkness all the way out, and touching the darkness riding home.

There are not many households in the village whose lights are on now, and only his house is brightly lit by the beach.

Ye's father sat at the door of the courtyard holding a water pipe. At this time, he was not in the mood to smoke, but just holding it could make people feel at ease.

He muttered in his mouth, "Not back yet, the tide is almost receding to the bottom, it's been a long time, where did you go to buy?"

Ye's mother stood behind him, full of confusion, "What kind of dumb riddles are you father and son playing? Both of you were strange when you came back at night. One came back first soaking wet, and then ran away without a trace, and haven't seen him until now. Ask nothing, what did you do? What shameful things can't be said? Still hiding and tucking..."

Truth...

It is indeed a shameful thing that cannot be said.

"Shh shh, why do you have so many words? I told you, I will tell you when I go back at night, what are you talking about here?"

Fortunately, at this time, the neighbors also went back to the room to sleep. After a whole day of fishing, the women also rested early. They are now equivalent to digging for one day and resting for one day to deal with it, otherwise the labor force simply can't keep up, and if it is not dealt with in time, it can only be left to stink.

"What dumb riddles? Too lazy to care about you, you don't go back, I'll go back first."

"Then you go back first after killing the fish, I'll go back later."

Ye's father waved his hand like swatting flies, wishing she would leave quickly. Buzzing and talking in his ear was annoying. He was anxious to get things done, and had no time to listen to her nagging there.

Ye's mother didn't bother with him and went back directly.

It happened that she had just left, and Ye Yaodong came back.

Ye's father saw it from afar and immediately greeted him excitedly, "Why are you back now? Where did you go to buy? I finished eating and sat at the door waiting for a long time, and I wasn't in the mood to smoke water pipe."

"There is no black paint in the village, I took advantage of the early time and rode to the town to buy it, which took a bit more time."

"Why buy black?"

He said in a low voice: "Because the marks on it are black, other colors are not easy to cover."

Ye's father thought it made sense and nodded, "It's good to buy it back. The tide has receded, I'll carry it down first, you go eat first, and come over after eating."

"Good."

Lin Xiuqing kept his share of meals warm in the pot. Seeing that he only came back now, she couldn't help but complain.

"Went for so long? I told you, go out after eating, you didn't listen."

"Hmm hmm, where is the rice."

"Everything has to be prepared for you, and the rice has to be brought to you."

"Alright alright, you go do your work, go accompany the children, I'll do it myself."

Ye Yaodong put his arms around her shoulders, pushed her towards the room, and went to the pot to get rice and dishes.

It was a headache to hear her talk. He was in a hurry. If he wasn't hungry, he didn't know what time it would be when he got busy, otherwise he wouldn't want to eat, it was too time-consuming.

Usually let her talk, at this time he just wanted to eat quickly, so he could go do things.

Lin Xiuqing didn't enter the room, walked to the table and asked curiously: "What are you and Dad busy with?"

"I'll tell you when I go back to the room at night." He said vaguely, quickly shoveling rice and dishes, wishing he could just pour it in.

"Eat slowly, are you really that anxious?"

"Hmm."

"Then you get busy, and tell me when you finish."

"Hmm."

Seeing that she didn't speak, his ears were clean.

After shoveling a few mouthfuls quickly, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran out hurriedly.

"Running away just after eating will cause stomach pain..."

Ye Yaodong had no time to care about what was said behind him, and ran fast towards the beach.

The tide had receded at this time, and after running close, he could see a fishing boat running aground on the beach.

And Ye's father was walking around on the boat, touching here and looking there.

"Here? Forgot to tell you to bring a hoe and a shovel, and scrape off the barnacles and shells under the boat by the way, so that you can paint."

"Ah? Not told earlier, ran out."

"I thought you would know."

"You forgot yourself, how could I think of it?"

The father and son were too excited, their hearts were always hanging on that boat, and neither of them thought about this for a while.

Came, saw, and remembered, they didn't bring any tools, either carrying paint and couldn't wait to come over, or ran over in a hurry with empty hands.

"Then you go back and get it, and bring a few baskets to load it, just push the flatbed cart over, and you can pull it back by the way."

"Alright."

It's nothing for young people to walk around.

Ye Yaodong went back again, and pulled everything he could use, tools and so on, with a flatbed cart, and brought the remaining red and white paint at home by the way.

He had a premonition that he would have to fight all night tonight!

The father and son took a shovel, one took a hoe, one on each side, scraping the barnacles and shells on the bottom of the boat, chatting.

"Dongzi, if this is not discovered, we really made a big profit."

"Luzhoudao is far from us, it's not that easy for people to inquire."

In this era, news is blocked, and basically everything is passed by word of mouth. It is not that simple to inquire about the lost boat, not to mention that Luzhoudao is notorious, and there are not many people who come and go on their island.

Actually, this island is not small, there are many villages on it, some villages are original residents, just affected by the later ones, and the folk customs will also be fierce.

"Hope so."

"Let's clean up the boat, repaint it, and guarantee that even his ancestors won't recognize it. Later, paint the cabin white, make it new and bright, who dares to say that this boat is theirs?"

"Hmm, wait until it's scraped clean, paint it first, and paint the marks away first. Call a few people to help move it up and stand it up tomorrow morning, otherwise, there is no way to paint when the tide rises."

"Scrape first, the bottom of the boat is densely packed, I don't know how long it hasn't been cleaned, it's hard, fortunately I just ate..."
