Chapter 61: After the Typhoon
After nightfall, the wind was strong, the rain was pouring, the comparison between the day and the night was really small, the basin and soup basin in the house were poured several times, the table by the window was smashed in by the rain, and it was wet, Lin Xiuqing specially took a footcloth and spread it.
The two children were not afraid of the wind and rain outside, and secretly played with candles there......
Ye Chenghu carefully put his finger into the candle oil under the wick, and then took it out and covered it with a layer of white candle on his finger.
It wasn't until the ten fingers were covered with candles that they were crushed one by one, and the repetition continued......
Ye Chengyang didn't know where to take a toothpick out, where he was fiddling with the wick and stirring the candle oil......
The candle was flickering and flickering by them, and the couple found that the two were naughty, one slapped his buttocks, and the two jumped around on the bed, screaming for a while before lying down to sleep.
Ye Yaodong sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated, he had no place to lie down, no way to sleep, and there was a lot of noise outside.
His eldest brother and second brother's house also leaked rain and leaked on the bed, and they were all three children, and they were all distributed to the old lady and his parents' house.
The big guys can only squeeze in at night and get through the night first.
"Both of you are asleep, I'll lie down for you here for a while."
"It's okay, you can sleep, I can't sleep, it's the same tomorrow to make up for sleep during the day, I'll go and pour all the water."
Afraid that it would affect their sleep, he went to stay in the hall after pouring the water, and when he saw that there were several benches, he took two of them together and lay down and squinted for a while.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that the wind and rain gradually weakened, and Ye Yaodong also had an extra long-sleeved quilt on his body.
He couldn't sleep well on the bench, and he woke up as soon as there was any movement, touched the clothes on his chest, and whispered, "Why are you up?" ”
"Hug Yangyang up and pee, and come out to see you if you don't see it."
"The typhoon should have passed, and the sky is almost dawning, you go back and sleep for a while."
"You go into the house and sleep!"
"No need, you go in with the two children, or they will cry when they wake up and don't see you."
Lin Xiuqing took a deep look at him and went into the house.
This is the first time, on a typhoon day, he didn't sleep like a dead pig by himself, and he also accommodated their mother, in previous years, she slept on the bedside for a night.
As soon as the sky was dark, Ye Yaodong sat up, and at this time, the old lady also held an umbrella and unlocked it through the back door, and she lived in a small room in the backyard.
"Did Dongzi sleep on the stool last night? Oops, how do you sleep here, you see you have been bitten by mosquitoes on your face and neck, wipe it with saliva. ”
He scratched it casually and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it won't itch for a while." The ground is wet, so be careful when you go in and out of the wall. ”
"Hey, I know, do you want to go to my house and lie down again? Ah Hai is still sleeping......"
"No, I'll go out to the beach to see if the waves are big."
It was still raining lightly outside, so he took the coat hanging behind the door and put it on and went out.
At this time, there are also many villagers wearing lily clothes walking around on the road, all of them come out to see if the typhoon has passed, everyone greets each other, and they are all talking about how strong the wind was last night and how heavy the rain was.
"Why did Dongzi get up so early?"
"Well, if you can't sleep, come out and have a look."
"Let's go to the beach and have a look, the big guys are going to the beach......"
He nodded casually, and his footsteps didn't stop, a neighbor's uncle, and he didn't know him very well.
As he walked, he looked at the extent of the impact in the village, a few small trees fell along the way, and the roof tiles of many houses were also blown all over the ground by the wind, and there were straw flying around, and there were dead branches and garbage everywhere, and puddles of water, which looked very messy.
After walking to the shore for a while, the sky was a little brighter, and there were already many villagers standing on the shore.
From a distance, he saw the rolling waves rushing up and back, the turbid sea water rising to a height that was usually unattainable, and the surrounding villagers discussed that the typhoon had passed, and when the sea level calmed down, everyone could go out to sea again.
Father Ye and he also reached the shore, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and there were more and more people around, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also came out, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and the villagers were most concerned about when the waves would recede.
Standing on the shore one by one, they were reluctant to leave, until the sun rose from the sea level, and the village radio was also broadcasting the morning news that the typhoon had landed in Zhejiang Province, and everyone relaxed and went back to breakfast one after another.
Boss Ye asked while eating: "Dad, everyone in our house leaked a lot yesterday, should we take advantage of today's free time to go to the roof to check the tiles and repair them?" ”
"Well, yes, I guess I was blown by the typhoon last night and shifted a lot, so the house leaked badly, and there are still a little tiles in the backyard, and I'll climb up and take a look at a ladder after eating."
"Dad, our house will start work again tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow, it's wet everywhere now, the mountains are muddy, the water level by the stream is rising, and it's not convenient to dig for stones, so let's start work a day later."
"Then when will we be able to go to sea?" The two brothers took turns asking.
"It's impossible tonight, the waves at the dock are still very big, and the open sea must still be affected, wait until tomorrow to see how the tide goes, and there should be a little more goods after the typhoon."
Ye Yaohua saw Ye Yaodong's harvest yesterday, since he was free today, he couldn't wait to go to the beach now, "That idle is also idle, when the tide begins to recede, let's also go to the beach to see if there are any big goods to pick up." ”
Ye Mu was also very excited, "When the time comes, everyone will go and have a look together, and you can also buy some seafood as a dish." ”
"We're going to the beach too!"
"Yes, we're going to the beach too......"
"No, it's Taohai, you are stupid, will you say, we also have to go to Taohai!" Ye Chenghai hated the iron and looked at this group of younger brothers and sisters.
"Yes, yes, let's go to the sea too!"
"There are you everywhere, hurry up and eat, now the tide has not receded, the waves are very big, none of you are allowed to go to the beach, if you are swept into the waves, no one can save you", Ye Mu looked at her grandchildren seriously, "Did you hear that?" ”
"I hear you." Everyone responded in unison.
From childhood to adulthood, what they heard the most was that they were not allowed to go to the beach alone, nor were they allowed to swim in the sea when no adults were present, and they all remembered it very well.
But to everyone's disappointment, even after the typhoon, the tide did not recede immediately today, but the water level dropped a little.
The hope of the sea was disappointed, the children were not very disappointed, they could not go to the beach and they could have fun and play else, but the adults were the most disappointed.
It was sunny all day, and it was not until noon the next day that the tide gradually receded, and the Ye family immediately set out to go to the beach with enthusiasm.
