Chapter 800: Preparing to Send Gifts

After collecting all the dried fish, everyone was tired to death, sitting on the steps.

Fearing the rain would get bigger, they just now wished they had four hands, and were all quick to rush. But after collecting, they didn't see the rain get bigger, it was still soft dripping.

Ye Yaodong lifted the hem of the vest on his body, wiped it on his head, and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead. "Fortunately, this rain didn't get bigger, and it was collected in time."

"This rain probably won't get bigger, right? It stopped for a while just now, and then continued to rain after less than five minutes."

"Don't care about it. Anyway, it's already collected. Later, tidy it up again. Those that are dry can be collected first, packed in hemp bags and stacked. When the weather is good, pour them out and dry them a little."

"Fortunately, not much was dried at night. Wet ones are spread on the bamboo bed. Those dried on the fishing net, take the bamboo pole into the house, and tie the fishing net one by one to dry."

This night is enough for them to be busy, no need to go to sea. Anyway, it's raining, just take the opportunity to rest.

High-intensity labor for half a month, others are probably exhausted too.

"Trouble Big Brother, Second Brother, Ye Dasao, Second Sister-in-law. Called you up in the middle of the night to help."

"No matter, it's raining, collecting dried fish is important, sleeping can be done anytime." Ye Ye Dasao said indifferently.

"Now it's finished, you guys go back to sleep early. Auntie, Second Auntie, go home to sleep too. It's raining, and the dried fish are all collected, no need to watch."

"Do you want me to help you organize that room of dried fish? If you pile them there, it will be a busy night."

"No matter, we'll organize slowly."

Ye Yaodong also said, "Tell eldest cousin, no need to go to sea at night, don't need to get up. Anyway, it's raining, then take the opportunity to rest. He hasn't rested for half a month."

"Hey, that's good, then we'll go back first. Those dried fish, do you want to put them there? We'll come over to organize tomorrow morning, or maybe it will clear up tomorrow morning, then no need to organize, can directly pull them out to continue drying."

"That's also true, then we'll put them there and organize tomorrow. Putting them for one night won't spoil." Ye Yaodong also held the hope that it would clear up tomorrow. After all, the rain at night really didn't get big.

After everyone sat at the door and said a few words, they all dispersed. Tossing in the middle of the night, they were also a bit tired, except for the couple who were still energetic. After all, it was their own goods.

After people left, the two also took out the goods killed that night that were still wet and spread them out for ventilation, lest they pile up for a night and turn sour. Those half-dry ones didn't matter.

Ye Yaodong kept frowning. "Nothing is easy to earn. Fortunately, it's just a light rain. If it were a summer thunderstorm..."

"Dried is fine, a little rain is no big deal. What doesn't have risk? Moreover, we've already earned a lot. Drying dried fish isn't that troublesome. Just collect it on a rainy day."

"What if it rains continuously for ten days or half a month?"

Lin Xiuqing said optimistically, "Usually, it will be cloudy before the rainy season. And isn't there a weather forecast now? There is a weather forecast after the news broadcast."

"Mm, the weather at the seaside isn't very accurate. What's broadcast is the weather of the whole city. You organize first, I'll go to the old house and Ah Sheng's house to tell them, let them not come out, it's raining, take a break for a day first."

"Good, then go quickly and come back quickly, hold an umbrella, I'll get you a flashlight."

Ye Yaodong nodded, but thought in his heart that when he was free tomorrow, he would go to the border defense station to see if he could buy a TV set. Buy early, rest assured early. It's just this money...

Ahem, head of the family, just need to make decisions as the head of the family!

What a big deal, just buy a TV set!

The couple was busy until the middle of the night before returning to the room.

Ye Yaodong said while taking off his clothes, "Nothing is that easy. Tossing in the middle of the night."

"Naturally, what thing is smooth sailing? We are already very good, steady."

Originally she wanted to say that there had been no losses, and earning was quite easy, but thinking she couldn't say such words, she used steady to replace it.

"Also, always rely on heaven to eat, hard work isn't as fast as relying on luck to get rich."

"Hehe, that also requires that luck. People without that luck can only rely on diligence, at least can eat full."

"Yes, in two days, go offer incense to Mazu, worship Mazu sincerely."

"Do you want to sign up to carry the sedan chair?"

"Also fine."

After Lin Xiuqing got on the bed, she saw Ye Xiaoxi lying in the corner, her two feet already propped on the headboard, the whole person was vertical at 90 degrees and still sleeping sweetly, couldn't help shaking her head, wanting to straighten her sleeping posture.

"Don't know how she sleeps, can sleep like this, sleeping too badly."

"Eh? Don't move her. Let her sleep however she wants, however comfortable she is. Maybe she's practicing martial arts in her dream, don't worry about her."

"Practicing what martial arts? Went to Shaolin Temple in her dream?"

"Don't worry about her, anyway, she can't fall off the bed, let her sleep however she wants, however comfortable she is. If you wake her up, you still have to coax."

He casually covered Ye Xiaoxi's belly with a small blanket, and then continued to hold his wife.

Lin Xiuqing saw that the child was also covered with a quilt, so she let her sleep like this.

"Hot to death, you lie on the side, your body is hot to death."

"Where is it hot? Just sweated, I also wiped it with a cold towel, it should be cool now."

"You can't feel it yourself, go away."

"Your body is cool, I felt it..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't push him away, and was pressed by his thick-skinned face. "Aren't you tired? How late is it..."

"Just moved a bit, spirit is good, how can I sleep? Come, come..."

"Tomorrow won't be able to get up..."

"Doesn't matter, anyway, rest doesn't need to work." Ye Yaodong fumbled around.

"Tomorrow if there's weather, have to take those dried fish out to dry..."

"Shh, have my dad and mom, if they see it tomorrow morning, they will take it out to dry, you sleep yours."

"Annoying, tired to death and still have to do this kind of thing..."

"Tired isn't you, you just lie there, don't need you to do anything, you don't need to move, I'll do it..."

Lin Xiuqing patted him lightly.

Ye Yaodong was busy with his hands while coaxing, "It's been over half a month... cooperate a bit... very fast..."

"Fast your big head ghost... hmm ah..."

A room of spring scenery was blocked in the mosquito net. There was no moonlight outside the house, couldn't see the shadowy figures, only the pattering rain, mixed with a bit of wind, blowing the treetops not far away, rustling.

The morning sky was also a bit dim and confused. Usually, when the sky was bright, the horizon had red light. It looked like today should be a cloudy day.

Worried about rain, Lin Xiuqing didn't hang the dried fish out, saving the trouble of collecting them back. Anyway, it was ventilation and drying, so she just hung them in the house and corridor.

Ye Yaodong woke up when the sun was high, only to find that there was no one beside him, neither the big nor the small were there.

After getting up, seeing the room full of dried fish, feeling it wasn't a thing, he spread out the nylon tape in the house and propped it on the black cloth shading grid cloth on the top of the courtyard.

Then hang the wet, half-dry dried fish out for ventilation. Nine-tenths dry, just collect them first, pack them in hemp bags and stack them, wait for the weather to clear up to dry a little.

Back and forth is really quite tossing.

"Big Brother, Second Brother went to sea at night?" Just wanted to call them to help, but knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response.

"Seems like, probably saw the rain at night wasn't big and went out."

"Really hardworking."

"Anyway, rest in two days, persist for two days can also earn more money. The rice porridge in the pot is ready, go eat first."

"You prepare a little dried squid for me, tie it up in groups of ten with rope, don't need too big, ten added together are just over a jin, help me prepare fifteen or sixteen portions. Then fill two more baskets, one filled with 5 jin."

"What are you doing? Sending gifts?" Lin Xiuqing thought for a while, and also recalled.

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Relying on those two boats, earned big money this month. Anyway, it's dried squid caught and dried by our own family, take a little to the border defense station to mean it, expose face more, get familiar."

"Get familiar for what?"

Asking in her mouth, she still went to get the basket and straw rope, preparing for him.

"In case I get caught in, get familiar, can he directly let me out!"

"Phew phew phew, crow mouth, talking nonsense!" Before Ah Qing could speak, the old lady was the first to protest, hitting him with a cattail fan.

Ye Yaodong smiled cheekily. "I'm just playing, why take it so seriously? And this is also possible. In case I fight with someone, and get caught in together, then people have to favor me a bit?"

"Talking nonsense with one mouth, good, why would you fight with people? If fighting, definitely have a reason, then catch people, why catch you."

"This is hard to say, anyway, have a chance to get familiar, then get familiar first. Caught and dried by own family doesn't need to spend money, sending a little to do a favor is also good, just take it as thanking people."

"Then... then do you want to take a few eggs..."

"Heh... no need, take eggs for what? Not sitting in confinement, just send dried squid."

In the old lady's view, probably eggs are the most presentable.

"Then... then should we take a few more eggs..."

"Heh... no need, what are eggs for? It's not like you're in confinement; just sending dried squid is enough."

In the old lady's view, eggs were probably the most presentable gift one could offer.
