Ye Yaodong's gaze turned back from the boat, and looked at the surrounding rocks, which were densely packed with small mussels, small sea melon seeds, and oyster shells that had been dug up from the flesh.

The rocks here have been visited too many times on a daily basis, and the slightly larger mussels and sea melon seeds have long been dug up, and only the smallest ones, about the size of the fingernails of the little finger, still grow on the rocks.

Such a small one, only the shell, and the meat are estimated to be no bigger than the boogers, so they can't be eaten, but every time the tide goes down, it is inevitable that some will grow up.

There were people looking for tools on the stone walls, and his mother was one of them.

He stepped forward to take a look, and his mother had a ladle in one hand and a small basket hanging from his wrist.

There are already a little small oysters in the water scoop, and there are also some slightly larger sea melon seeds and small spicy snails in the small basket.

"Mother, this dense piece of eyes can be blinded, why don't you dig sand clams."

Ye Mu said while priing the oyster shell on the rock with a screwdriver: "There are so many people in the family who have dug enough, I can dig a little oyster and fry the oyster at night, and the children in the family haven't eaten it for a while." ”

"It's not the slightest bit, isn't our ship repaired? Wouldn't it be nice to let Dad take you to dig on the island, but now it's better to dig for sand clams, and in two hours the tide will be full of this beach again. ”

"What you said is easy, the rocks on the isolated island are very slippery, but it is not easy to stand, if the waves hit, if I am not careful, I will be swept back into the sea to see Mazu Niangniang."

"Aha, no, just choose a day when the tide is calm and the tide is low."

Ye Mu lifted her eyelids and squinted at him, "Then you calculate the number of months for me, the wind and waves are calm, and the tide can just go down very much, and your father and your brothers happen to be free!" ”

"Ahh How could I count this? ”

Where is the wind and waves on the sea that a mortal like him can calculate!

What's more, how does he know when his dad and his brother are free?

Ye Mu gave him a blank look, "No, you just shut up, stay where it's cool, don't delay my work!" ”

Ye Yaodong touched his nose, is he so annoying?

"Why don't I dig it for you? Are you going to dig sand clams? ”

After squatting for a long time, his legs are sore, but it's okay to dig oysters on the stone wall, and he doesn't have a phobia of density anyway.

"You're coming?"

"Yes, I'll come, open oysters, dig melon seeds, I'm doing it."

Not for anything else, he didn't play less when he was young, and the skills he learned won't be forgotten with the passage of time.

Mother Ye glanced at him up and down, thinking that he had just sworn in the house that he would learn from his eldest brother and second brother to become diligent and hardworking after the family was separated......

Is it true?

Transsexualized?

"Then let you come, when you go back, you don't dig a bowl for me, I'll beat you to death!"

"Oh, you can dig as much as you can, it's also a matter of luck, how dare I guarantee that I can dig a bowl before I go back? This oyster is only a little bigger......"

Ye Mu couldn't help but hang the basket on his wrist, and stuffed the water scoop and screwdriver into his hand, "Look carefully, you have to pry a bowl of oysters, you have to dig a bowl of sea melon seeds, and you have to give me a whole bowl of snails!" ”

Ye Yaodong glared, will he change, or can he do something? and call him three whole bowls.

"Dongzi didn't go out to play today? Why did you still come to the beach? His aunt was also looking for a water scoop on the stone wall, and asked curiously when she saw him.

"Well, it's too hot to go out!"

"Huh? Isn't it hot to come to the beach? It's such a big sun! ”

The reason was not found, Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed, "Ah, yes, just come out and have a look." ”

Let's hurry up and find it, stop chatting, dig for a while and wait for the tide to rise, just go home for lunch.

Sea oysters, also known as oysters, grow on stone walls and are actually plankton.

Oviparous oysters are in the breeding season, the broodstock excretes mature sperm and eggs from the body, and the sperm and eggs are fertilized in seawater, and after a period of floating life, they attach to other objects, and after solidification, they become juveniles, and then slowly grow up, pry off the shell, and the inside is the oyster.

When the ship is docked in the sea for a long time, juvenile shells will grow under the boat, and most people will prop up the hull of the boat, and then pry the juvenile shells off the bottom of the boat to reduce the weight of the hull, and by the way, they can also load the juvenile shells in baskets and pick them back to drive oysters.

The juvenile shells on the stone wall are too small, and the oysters that come out are only a little fart-sized, yellow-green, like snot, and only the larger ones can see the white on their stomachs.

"Open the yarn, it's such a big fart, when will it be able to fill a bowl!" Ye Yaodong couldn't help muttering after opening one.

"There's no way to eat, there are so many mouths at home, you can dig a little bit, this is not a sand clam, and it is not something that can come out to dig every day."

His aunt responded, and then said earnestly: "Dongzi, you are the father of two children, you can't be idle all day long, you should also find a job to do, your wife and children have to support you, and your father and mother can't support you until you are old." ”

"Am I not working? Oldest maternal aunt! ”

"It's right to work, but you have to earn money, and you can't just work for one day, you have to support your family all year round, you are a man, you have to be responsible, you have to have a sense of responsibility......"

Endless preaching, balabala~

Ye Yaodong regretted speaking out a little, if he was silent, it is estimated that his aunt would not have the desire to talk to him.

He can't choke back, after all, he is an elder, and what he said is right, and it is also for your good, but the endless talk makes him a little big, it is better to dig sand clams, why doesn't he know that his aunt can read it so well?

"Auntie, you dig slowly here, I'll go out and take a look."

Just as the tide had receded a little, he simply picked up the farthest stone.

However, his luck seems to be a little better!

As soon as he walked to the rocky position closest to the tide, he saw two small blue crabs in the pile of stones in the shallow water in front of him, and his eyes lit up, this is a good thing!

He quickly put the ladle and basket aside, and walked a few quick steps towards the gravel pile, where the two blue crabs were fighting with their big pincers before the danger was approaching!

Ye Yaodong grabbed the shells on their backs one by one, and carefully separated them, lest their big foot hooks get entangled and break.

The value of blue crabs with broken legs is greatly reduced, of course, it doesn't matter if you eat them yourself.

The two blue crabs that were separated were also waving big pincers and dancing, if they were clamped, it would be terrible, and the nails would be broken directly.
