After looking at their abdomen, Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "The two males, adding up to more than a catty, have a good harvest today, and they are just stewed to make up for the children at home." ”

He looked left and right, and randomly found a hemp rope on the rock that had been washed up by the sea.

The two blue crabs were tied up and hung on the basket, and happily continued to open oysters on the stone wall and dig up sea melon seeds.

The task assigned by his wife must be completed as much as possible, otherwise he will have to listen to her verbosity again, and tomorrow the tide will recede even more, but he can come out to catch the sea.

The closer to the rocks outside the tide, the bigger the sea melon seeds on it, Ye Yaodong pried a few, glanced at the location of the tide, and simply pulled the trouser leg directly to the root of his thigh, planning to go out a little more, there should be a little more outside.

Most of the people who came out to search for the sea today went to the sand clams, but there were not many people looking for them on the stone wall.

This harvest is low, and some people dig at the low tide of the fifteenth day of the first month, and the growth period is half a month before and after, and the growth is relatively small, and it is not as good as the sand clam digging more.

Ye Yaodong walked out along the rock, until the water was above his knees, he stopped, and then slowly opened the oysters on the stone wall with rare patience.

The oysters that are pried open here are a little bigger, and the spicy snails adsorbed on the rocks and the sea melon seeds growing in groups are relatively large.

There are only mussels, which grow densely in patches, but they are only the size of a little finger nail, and there is no way to dig them.

Everyone is working hard, and no one notices that he has come out like this, and he can dig for a while.

As the tide receded little by little, he also moved out little by little, and he hadn't searched the sea for decades, and his interest was completely aroused.

This feeling of harvest fascinated him a little, that is, the sun was too hot and he forgot to wear a straw hat and came out.

At this time, because he didn't work much, his skin looked very white, and he didn't have the swarthy of the people by the sea.

But being exposed to the sun for a long time also made his face flush and sweat like rain, and only when his lower body was soaked in the sea water did he feel cooler.

After the tide had receded at half past ten, it began to rise slowly again after a long time, and he could clearly feel the sea rising from his knees as the waves rolled up.

When it rose to the root of his thighs, he slowly moved forward, and by the way, he looked at the water scoop, which was 1/3 full, not bad, enough for two bowls of oysters to fry, and half a basket of spicy snails and sea melon seeds.

Lin Xiuqing squatted for a long time and felt a little tired, seeing that her face was already half full, she stood up and pinched her waist, knocked on her back, and glanced at her second son by the way.

Xiao Budian sat alone and played with sand, very excited, his head and face were covered with sand, his chest was wet with drooling, and he grabbed the sand one by one to play.

It's very well-behaved, and some don't cry when they play, don't make trouble, and don't look for their mothers.

She looked around again, but she didn't see her man's figure, and her brows furrowed, she really couldn't expect anything from this man!

When Ye Mu saw her stand up, she also felt a little tired, and she also straightened up and planned to rest, but when she looked at the rock, she didn't see Ye Yaodong, and she was annoyed, "Where did you die again?" The good oysters I told him to dig for him, and in a blink of an eye, the figure was gone. ”

"Mother, how can you believe what Yaodong said? After so many years, when have you seen him work seriously? Which time is not cheating and slippery, do two tricks to make a fake trick, fool the past and run away. Second sister-in-law Ye said disdainfully.

Mother Ye hated that iron could not become steel, "Go back and ask his father to break his dog's legs, he is so out of tune all day long!" ”

"There's Grandma here, don't think about it."

Mother Ye is exhausted, a good son, he actually developed such a lazy virtue, and when they are not there in the future, he will really starve to death.

Sister-in-law Ye also said: "Mother, I really can't let Yaodong stay idle like this, who can support him for a lifetime?" Xiuqing? He is a big man with hands and feet, he relies on his wife for nothing, and he is not too embarrassed to panic,"

Second sister-in-law Ye continued: "Yes, how difficult it is to show off a woman to support her family! Xiuqing's temper is so bearable, which woman can stand the man in the family like this? ”

Some of the women who were digging sand clams around also echoed, "Dongzi is really too disagreeable, they have been married for so many years, and they are not children anymore......"

"It's time to talk about it, you can't let him ...... like this all the time"

Ye Yaodong returned with a full load, and as soon as he stepped back to the beach with the tide, he heard a group of women gossiping about him, and his face turned black with anger!

These three aunts and six mothers-in-law, they have a lot of things!

His wife hasn't said anything yet, but they talk a lot!

"What do you say? Where have I been, haven't I been here all the time! ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at him in surprise, thinking that he had run away after not staying for a while, but they didn't expect that he was still there, and the gossiping people were suddenly a little sneering.

I didn't expect to say bad things about people behind my back, and I was caught!

But there are also a few people who feel that they are not wrong, but say confidently: "Dongzi, we said that those are for your good, men should support their families, you have been idle like this, do you still expect your parents to support your wife and children for a lifetime?" ”

Ye Yaodong looked at the person who spoke coldly, "Aunt Zhu Hua, are you worried too much?" Which eye did you see that I was idle, that I wasn't working? Are you talking with your eyes closed? No wonder your family is poor! I'll treat your eyes! ”

Anyway, he's used to being a bastard, so just go back!

"What nonsense, you have a problem with your eyes, your family is poor, your family can't afford to build a house, you can't share the family, a poor ghost, or embarrassed to say that my family is poor......" Aunt Zhu Hua stopped doing it, stood up, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at him with a spatula in the other hand and shouted.

This time it was Ye's mother's turn to get angry, "What do you mean, is my son scolding in your turn, why is my family poor, is my family poor and eats your rice?" Your family is not poor, what sea are you looking for! ”

"Is this sea your home, don't let people find it yet."

"It's not my family, but it's from our village, and you're from the next village, so I'm embarrassed to say it! My son is so diligent and diligent, it's your turn to talk about it......"

Ye Yaodong didn't speak after saying a sentence just now, he just stood and watched, it was more appropriate to leave this scolding thing to his mother, he was a big man and a woman scolding a little unpresentable.

Anyway, half of the village is a relative, and his mother has never lost in terms of momentum.

There were a lot of people around, and after they quarreled a few words, the peacemaker came forward and asked them to say less, which was not a big deal, just a few words of gossip.

Someone played a round, and the two glared at each other and stopped.

Aunt Zhu Hua felt that it was boring to stay any longer, anyway, the tide was about to rise, so she went home directly with her bucket.

The atmosphere also eased.
