Chapter 743

Lin Xiuqing went to the village committee to answer a phone call and came back after a while.

Seeing that the door was closed, she ran to the window to knock.

Ye Chenghu's voice also came from the room, "Go away, you rascal, Mom is back."

"How are you talking?"

After Ye Yaodong said this, he saw Ye Xiaoxi pull back her two legs, then support herself on the ground with both hands, stand up with her butt sticking out, and hurry to pull the door handle.

But she couldn't pull it.

"Go away, you're in the way."

Ye Chenghu pulled her aside with disdain, then opened the door to let Lin Xiuqing in.

"What's wrong? It's been a long time, and you didn't know how to open the door."

"It's not me, it's her, sitting by the door and blocking it."

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi saw Lin Xiuqing come back, she immediately went up to hug her leg.

Lin Xiuqing also looked at her with disdain, "You're so dirty, it's a good thing I haven't taken a bath yet."

"Whose phone call is it?" Ye Yaodong asked curiously.

There are only four people who can call him now: his father-in-law, Zhou Laoban, the military, and the border defense station.

Every one of them is very important.

"It's Zhou Laoban. He asked if our squid fishing season is coming soon, saying that there seemed to be a lot of squid in the market at this time last year."

"And then?" Ye Yaodong was a bit moved, "Does he want squid?"

"Yes, he said can we dry some dried squid, he'll test the water first."

"This is possible, it's just that it will be more expensive when it first comes out."

"I said so too, saying that the dried ones might be more expensive. He said he knew, he'll test it first, who told us we don't have dried fish for him now."

"Okay, I was originally thinking of waiting until the fishing season is halfway through, when the price drops to the bottom, and then dry some to try. Now that he's covering it, I'll dry more from the beginning."

Dried squid will sell well in the future, he knows that, but he really isn't sure about these days.

After all, if it's dried, he definitely has to raise the price. The cost of living is low these days, and this is several yuan per jin, which is several days' wages for an average worker. Who knows if city people are willing to buy it to eat? People in the countryside are definitely reluctant.

Lin Xiuqing also said with a smile: "It just so happens that the dried fish in the shop won't be sold for a few days before it's sold out, and those dried kelp have long been sold out. My father is anxious to death. I heard that he urged Azheng to transport more back to dry a few days ago. If there is dried squid to transport there, it can also be sold."

"Dried fish sells so fast?" Ye Fu hadn't asked about it for a few days, so he really didn't know it was about to be sold out.

"The market shop is steadily open there every day, and I heard that regular customers come to repurchase every day."

"That's good. After doing it for a long time, everyone will recognize our shop. In the future, if other shops sell it, everyone will still go to our shop first."

Ye Yaodong also said: "When the fishing season arrives, I'll call him again to see."

"Mm."

Lin Xiuqing responded and picked up Ye Xiaoxi by her feet, "Stand aside for me and reflect on yourself. I'm going to get you hot water to take a bath."

Ye Xiaoxi stood obediently, looking at this and that. Seeing everyone looking at her and laughing at her, she also widened her eyes and looked back.

This made Ye Chenghu unable to help pinching her cheek, "You're so fierce!"

Ye Xiaoxi glared at him, patting the hand on her face, "Hai! Hai!"

"Hehe~"

"Hurry up and take a bath, you're so dirty. You just finished washing, and you got all over yourself in a while..."

Ye Xiaoxi walked over swaying with her short legs...

"The boat was stranded on the beach today, did the neighbors ask?" Ye Yaodong thought of the villagers' reaction when the fishing boat docked, so he asked curiously.

"Yeah, just as the sky was getting bright, the sisters-in-law next door and the neighbors found one stranded on the beach, and they all asked me if it was our second boat that had been sailed back?"

"I said yes, I said you didn't have time during the day, and it was low tide when you came back at night, so it was hard to strand, so you could only sail it back last night while the tide was rising and drive it to the beach. Mom went out to walk in the village and said the same thing."

"Then her mouth must be smiling crookedly. I don't know how many times she walked back and forth in the village?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiuqing laughed out loud, "You don't say, Mom walked from the beginning of the village to the end of the village today. After lunch, she sat at the grocery store in the village, sat until the time was up, and then went to the village committee when it was time to go to work. I heard she sat in the shop after dinner, and I don't know if she's still there."

"Then when my third boat is sailed back, she must be sitting in the shop all day? She doesn't even need to come back for dinner!"

"Hehehe~"

"Don't talk nonsense, don't let her hear it. You still have to ask her to make hand-thrown nets and modify broken fishing nets." Ye Fu said with a straight face.

"What modifying broken fishing nets?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Ye Mother, with a glowing face, walked in quickly like a gust of wind from outside.

"Modifying what broken fishing nets? Didn't you say you wanted to weave two new hand-thrown nets? What are you doing with broken fishing nets?"

"To hold pen shells. I found another patch of pen shells today. The net bag at the waist is too small and hard to hold."

Ye Mother slapped her thigh with regret, "Oh, what a pity I didn't have time, otherwise I would have gone with you. That intertidal zone grows a whole patch, it must be spectacular, right?"

"It is quite spectacular, a dark mass, one by one standing there."

His mother thought it was in the intertidal zone, so it was in the intertidal zone. He wouldn't correct her. Saying it was on the seabed, he couldn't explain how he went down.

Anyway, last year the villagers also thought he found it in some intertidal zone.

"I'll take a broken fishing net for you to modify tomorrow."

"I also brought a few back just now, and asked Acai to add some ice cubes to put inside, leaving them to steam with minced garlic tomorrow."

"You're really willing to eat..."

"Dad asked me to keep them!"

Ye Mother glanced at Ye Fu, "You've all been spoiled."

Ye Fu looked at this and that, and didn't refute. This time it was really him who asked to keep them.

The next day, the father and son deliberately didn't go to sea, and freed up a day to work on the fishing boat.

They worked until mid-morning to clean the bottom of the boat, let it dry in the sun, and prepared to brush a layer of paint when it was evening.

Dry for another day tomorrow, and when they come back from sea in the evening, they can just apply the second coat of paint. Apply the third coat the day after tomorrow, and it's basically done.

In the afternoon, the two also went up the mountain to cut firewood in advance, cutting cart after cart, until the corner of the yard was piled up as high as the yard wall, and then each moved a small stool to bundle and work there.

Currently, with one more boat added, the amount of firewood bundled must be at least double that of last year.

The father and son were busy there, and Lin Xiuqing, having nothing to do, also started weaving fishing nets, planning to weave a hand-thrown net with Ye Mother to help share the work.

The old lady also lay on the rocking chair listening to the radio and dozing off. It's very easy to get sleepy at noon.

Everyone has their own work, busy there, except for Ye Xiaoxi, who was bored and started walking around the yard swaying.

Other children had gone to school, and Ye Chengyang had also run out to play. She really didn't have a companion.

When Lin Xiuqing was weaving the net, she would occasionally look up to see what the child was doing. If she wasn't naughty or doing anything out of line, she wouldn't care about her and let her play.

Just now, seeing her run into the vegetable field and pick a few beans, she originally wanted to stop her, but didn't expect that as soon as she called her name, she stopped, and walked slowly towards the door.

"Can you rest for a while? Don't be so diligent, I didn't ask you to work."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at her mother blankly, tilted her head and thought for a while, and then stuffed the beans she had just picked into her mother's mouth...

"Ah... mm..." Lin Xiuqing quickly closed her mouth and turned her head to the side, "Take it away, take it away, I'm not eating, take it to show filial piety to your father."

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yaodong who was busy in the yard, and walked towards him with her short legs, falling every two steps.

Ye Yaodong was busy with his hands and chatting with his father, not hearing the mother and daughter talking.

Until the filial Ye Xiaoxi leaned over, he turned his head and talked to her with a smile.

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the big head and big mouth in front of her, and directly stuffed the long beans she had just picked into his mouth. After stuffing them into his mouth, she didn't let go, and wanted to stuff the ones in her other hand in too...

"Mm?? Pfft... what are you doing?"

Lin Xiuqing sat at the door and found it funny, "Your daughter is showing filial piety to you."

Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Be good, go play by yourself."

Ye Xiaoxi was a bit unwilling to give up. She picked up the beans that had fallen on the ground, raised her hand, and stubbornly wanted to stuff them into his mouth again...

Ye Yaodong dodged quickly, "I'm not eating."

"Ah ah~ Dad~"

She reached out and pulled his clothes, just wanting to stuff them into his mouth. Ye Yaodong felt very helpless and had no choice.

"I'm really not eating, I'm not hungry, go play by yourself."

"Ah... ah..."

She just wouldn't let go!

Ye Yaodong had a headache and quickly diverted the fire.

"Go feed the dogs, give them to those dogs to eat, they love to eat!"

The dogs: "..."

Hearing that she was asked to feed the dogs, Ye Xiaoxi thought for a while, let go of her father's clothes, changed her position, and had a new target.

Those dogs were also a bit lazy at noon, all lying in front of the dog house, motionless. Seeing her coming, they still didn't move.

Ye Xiaoxi walked to them in small steps, picked a little flower that looked pleasing to the eye, and squatted down to touch its dog head.

The dogs were also very familiar with her, all lying there letting her touch them. Didn't expect the surprise to come as scheduled, she stuffed her precious beans into the dog's mouth again.

Little Flower licked the beans with its tongue and turned its dog head away.

Didn't expect Ye Xiaoxi to be fierce, pulling the dog hair on its head hard with one hand, and continuing to stuff the beans into its mouth with the other hand, while calling out ah ah ah.

Little Flower still didn't eat!

She grabbed its dog hair, didn't expect to pull a handful down. She looked at her palm blankly, saw a gust of wind blow the dog hair away, and simply grabbed its dog mouth, wanting to stuff the beans into it to eat again.

The other dogs on the side couldn't help but stand up, moved to the side, and then squatted down to watch the fun.

Little Flower whimpered a few times and continued to lie down and play dead.

Seeing that the beans in her hand couldn't be sent out, Ye Xiaoxi got up and looked at the other dogs...

Those dogs decisively stood up and wandered around the yard...
