Chapter 806

~8 min read 1,553 words

His fishing boat stopping wouldn't raise suspicion. Anyway, everyone knew he was placing ground cages and shrimp cages in the surrounding area. If they happened to drive the boat over and see him, he could say it was snagged on the bottom and he went down to take a look, that would work too.

Anyway, it would only be two or three months until the jellyfish fishing season, and he could pay them a higher wage then.

He didn't know how many typhoons there would be in July and August, and he didn't know how many days they could go out to sea.

If a typhoon passed by, the impact could last for ten days. If two came in a row, slightly brushing the edge, with intermittent rain, wind, and waves, they wouldn't have to go for the whole month.

By the time he came back from Zhejiang Province, the weather would be cool, and it wouldn't be suitable to go into the water. Then he and his father could each operate a boat.

He paced back and forth, thought about it, and felt that this arrangement would work for now.

When his big boat was delivered next year, he would rent the two boats to them as partners, which could be considered helping them out.

It was just that he would have to find a few more boat workers then. He had already become familiar with them, and it was a bit reluctant to suddenly let them go and operate another boat, but he couldn't keep people under his thumb. If there were good things, he naturally had to give them priority, otherwise, people's hearts would turn cold.

Thinking this way, he temporarily decided on this. Anyway, they could swap back and forth then. When there was no need to go into the water, he and his father would each operate a boat. When there was a plan to go into the water, he would let his father be on the same boat as him.

After Ye Yaodong finished thinking, he settled his mind. Before going back, he touched the edge of the fishing boat, and his hand was still stained with a bit of paint, it wasn't that dry.

These domestic products were still not very good.

When he returned home, except for his mother and Ye Xiaoxi, everyone else was still sitting there watching television, watching a news channel with great interest.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know how to watch television yet. Before he left, she was still sitting obediently, but now she was running around the house.

He saw her run to the basin stand, stand on tiptoe, and reach out to grab the big red and green floral basin.

Before he could stop her, she had already succeeded.

A sound of the basin hitting the floor, ping-pong-pang, startled everyone. The hearts of those fascinated by the television almost stopped for a second.

"My god, this ancestor... didn't keep an eye on her for a moment, and she didn't stop for a second..."

Lin Xiuqing rushed over, grabbed her hand, and slapped her palm hard twice.

Her skin was thick, and although she was startled and blinked tightly twice, she didn't cry, just letting her mother hit her.

"Do you dare to do it again next time? You want to play with everything, even wanting to take the basin placed so high. What if the whole basin stand falls down?"

The basin fell down with a loud noise. She didn't cry when startled, and didn't cry when hit, but now when being scolded, seeing Ye Yaodong standing in front, she flattened her mouth, and water vapor brewed in her eyes, looking at him with teary eyes.

Ye Yaodong's heart was about to melt.

"If it falls down, then there'll just be a few more ping-pong-pang sounds, what else could happen? She's still so young, how would she know what can be played with and what can't? Seeing something curious, she can't help but reach out to touch and grab it. Stop scolding, stop scolding..."

While speaking, he picked the child up, patted her back, and watched her bean-sized tears fall with a plop, and then they poured down like a faucet, and her mouth flattened and she wailed loudly.

Ye Yaodong was about to be heartbroken.

"Don't cry, don't cry, your mother is bad, let's ignore her, Dad will take you out to play."

"You'll spoil her sooner or later..."

"How could she be spoiled? Isn't she quite obedient and cute? Don't scold this and that all day long."

After speaking, he kept patting Ye Xiaoxi's back, "Don't cry, don't cry, let's go play on the beach, go dig sand~ let's go~"

Which child could resist the temptation of playing on the beach? Ye Xiaoxi, who was originally pouting and crying aggrievedly on his shoulder, immediately stopped crying, her big watery eyes under wet eyelashes looking directly toward the beach.

"Sand..."

The voice, with a sobbing tone and milky, was a killer!

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but kiss her cheeks twice, and wiped away her tears, "Yeah, let's go dig sand, let's take the pot spatula from home."

She nodded heavily.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the father and daughter's backs and shook her head. It was good to take her out to play, to save her from being mischievous in the house, and she could watch television in peace.

Don't say, listening to the people inside talk about the news was quite interesting, much better than the radio. This television not only had sound, but could also see people. There was a reason for it being expensive.

After the house quieted down, everyone was fascinated again, and the whole house only had the sound of the news broadcast.

By the afternoon, it had basically spread throughout the village that their family also had a television. Some might have relied on their kinship to run over and take a look to see if it was true or false.

They didn't close the front or back doors, wanting to blow the wind and cool off in the hot weather. The whole village knew that their courtyard raised many dogs, and some people learned to be smart, specially going to their house through the back door.

However, although there were no dogs at the back door, there were geese. Although they had been raised for less than two months, they were already almost 6 jin, and would also peck people.

As soon as the person walked to the back door and hadn't gotten close, they were chased by a group of fierce geese, leaving only the sound of calling and scolding from further and further away.

The people in the house just came out to take a look when they heard it, and didn't stop it at all, just sat back down and continued to watch television in peace.

And Ye Yaodong, carrying Ye Xiaoxi, had just walked to the beach when he saw a stone crab crawling in the pile of rocks. He hurriedly put the child on the beach, held the pot spatula in his hand, and pressed down directly on the stone crab that was about to hide under the rock.

Grabbing it in his hand, watching it wave its claws, he handed it to Ye Xiaoxi, but she wasn't afraid at all, and even reached out to grab it. He hurriedly pulled it away, don't let her be bitten by those two big claws.

Thinking for a while, he found a piece of rope nearby, tied its big feet tightly, and then tied a long rope, handing it to Ye Xiaoxi.

"It won't bite now, go walk the crab and play."

She smiled, revealing 4 teeth, happily took the rope, and like playing with a yo-yo, lifted it up and threw it onto the beach, repeating it endlessly, playing with great interest.

Ye Yaodong felt that this stone crab should hang up in 5 minutes. If it died, it would be boring. It was better to find a few more replacements, small ones would do, and big ones would be eaten at home.

Looking at the pile of rocks nearby, because of the low tide, there were pools of water accumulated around some big rocks.

Thinking of finding crabs, he turned over the big rocks with water pools underneath. It was no surprise that there were definitely some, and quite a few shrimp, various sizes of crabs, and mudskippers jumped out.

Carrying a bucket and bringing the child, he searched through the water pools one by one, playing while searching. Seeing a bigger water pool, he stopped and discussed with Ye Xiaoxi about borrowing the pot spatula to poke the bottom of the rocks.

Unexpectedly, when he poked it casually, he suddenly poked out a good product!

"Big grouper!"

"No, it's a small grouper, damn, it's only about four or five jin!"

After being surprised and complaining, he threw the pot spatula to the empty space on the side, intending to grab it directly.

"My good girl, we'll have a treat tonight, adding a dish for you, steamed grouper! Heh~"

While speaking, he felt around in the water pool, and after aiming, reached out to press the fish head. The swaying fish tail splashed water all over his face.
