Chapter 89: Ah Guang's Little Abacus

~8 min read 1,470 words

After planning to wear it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she also had a few more smiles on her face. She let him hold one end of the cloth, pulled it open to check, and found it was a bit long.

"How many meters did you buy?"

"2 meters, didn't you tell me to buy two meters?"

"You are so tall, you need two meters, where do I need two meters?"

"It's fine, you can make another pair of pants, just right to match."

"That can't make long pants, at most it can only make five-point ones." Lin Xiuqing muttered for a while and put it away. Since it was bought, she could only look at it and do it.

After putting things away, she turned her attention to the goose barnacles again. "Can that goose barnacle of yours still be dug? This thing is too valuable!"

Ye Yaodong lay on the bed shaking his feet. "I don't know if there are any on other islands. It's not easy to go without a spring tide. This thing grows on the reefs in the high-tide zone of the intertidal zone that are beaten by waves all year round. If you go at ordinary times, the tide can't recede too low, and it's easy to be hit into the sea by waves, which is quite dangerous."

"Then forget it, just wait for the first and fifteenth to see. If you run into it, dig a little. If not, forget it. Being able to earn so much is already very good, and fortunately, someone recognizes it."

"Hmm."

"You say how can there be foreigners coming to our small place?"

"Isn't it very normal? It is estimated that Hongsheng's crown prince met them when he was studying abroad, and specifically followed them to play here. Don't worry about them, come and worry about me." He smiled ambiguously and badly.

Lin Xiuqing understood his meaning instantly, looked at the two children who were playing with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "You don't feel tired either, working so hard during the day..."

"What's tired, two different things. I ate five sea turtle eggs yesterday, and two today. Just right to see the effect. You hurry and coax those two to sleep!"

Facts have proved that sea turtle eggs are quite effective.

He got up refreshed the next day, thinking that there seemed to be 5 or 6 left last night, so he hurriedly looked for it by the stove, only to find that there was only soup left.

"Sea turtle eggs are gone?"

"You got up late, I ate the last two." Ye Yaodong laughed.

"Knowing the effect is good, right? Don't know how to leave one for me."

There were four left, which were estimated to have been taken out to sea by his father last night. Originally, it was his turn to go to sea, but he had to go to the town, so his father called his eldest brother, and it was Ah Hua's turn last night, making him miss one time.

"Hehe~" Ye Yaodong was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

Ye mother urged, "Eat breakfast quickly, work after eating. Just a few eggs, and these sea turtle eggs are fishy, what's good to eat?"

"Got it."

Go to Ah Guang's house to get a few back at night. He is a single man, it's not good to nourish too much!

But didn't expect, before he went to find him at home, Ah Guang actually ran over to work again.

"Did you take the wrong medicine? You actually came over to work early in the morning? Haven't been sunbathed, or haven't worked? Things without wages, actually so diligent?"

"Kind enough to come over to work for you, actually say such things."

"Fine, you are also ready to strive for self-improvement, right? Then work hard, and tell my mother later to calculate wages for you."

"Cut~" Ah Guang said with disdain, "Do I still lack that bit of wages from you?"

"Aren't you saving for a wife? Accumulate little by little!"

"Then you might as well take me to sea a few more times, it's faster."

"I don't have time to go myself, there's a pile of work at home waiting to be busy, and it's not safe to go to the isolated island every day. You guys aren't going to buy a boat? Go to Ah Cai's house at night to see if you can get money. Getting it early can buy a boat early."

"That's true. It's been a day, and we're not giving goods to him fixedly."

Ah Guang worked hard for two days, which was not without effect. Ye mother's impression of him changed directly. When she finished work in the evening, she smiled and warmly invited him home for dinner.

Ye Yaodong didn't allow him to refuse, and pulled his shoulder to walk home without saying a word.

Actually, Ah Guang hadn't thought of refusing; he followed them with a grin to mooch a meal, and after eating, he even helped collect the dried sea mussels and dried sea snails until Ye Yaodong called him to take his money, at which point he followed along.

Acting as a free laborer like this, he worked for several days, even when Ye Yaodong went to sea with his father and was not at home, he still came as usual, and occasionally sent watermelons. Ye mother was a little ashamed, and took the initiative to calculate wages for him.

Ah Guang refused repeatedly. He didn't come to work for wages in the first place, but Ye mother insisted on stuffing it into him, but he was embarrassed to pull and pull with Ye mother, so he had to accept it with a thick skin first, and throw it back on the table when he left later.

Ye mother was satisfied. "This is right. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to let you come to work. I didn't know before I came into contact. Looking at you these few days, you are also quite good, a good young man."

He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and laughed foolishly.

"Looking at your age, it's not small anymore. Let your aunt arrange an object for you quickly. It's not like that without a woman at home. Marry a wife back, and the family can be organized. Your two younger sisters are also getting bigger and bigger, and in two years, someone can organize."

"Hehe, if aunt has a suitable object, she can also introduce it to me." As he said, his eyes wandered a bit.

"Sigh~ I'm busy with the house construction all day, where do I have time to be a matchmaker? If you are not in a hurry, wait until the house is built, and I will pay attention for you."

"Hehe, fine. I'm not in a hurry, I'm still one year younger than Dongzi."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes from the side. "What are you comparing with me? I have two sons, and you don't even have a shadow of a wife."

"Yes, hurry up and let your aunt look for you. If it's suitable, hold the happy event this year!"

"Hey, good..."

He also thought so in his heart, that is, sigh... it's not very good to say it openly, it must be gradual, lest he be beaten, and it will be yellow.

He changed the subject and said, "Dongzi, how many ground cage nets have you made?"

"Not many. I have to build a house during the day, so I can only do it for a while after dinner. The speed is considered fast, but only 5 have been made."

"Ask someone to do it! Do it early, put it in the sea early, and see the benefits early."

"Not in a hurry, there's so much work at home, do it slowly."

Wait until ten are made, then he will take them to the sea to put a row, otherwise, just five or six thrown into the sea, there is nothing, and he has to row specifically to collect them, which is too delaying.

Ten are also few, but at least they can make up a row, barely enough to put them down.

"These ground cages are idle at home, why don't you take them to the river pond to put them at night to see if you can get some loach stew? By the way, you can also test the water?"

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up when he heard this. This is possible! ===== CHAPTER 90 =====
