On the thirteenth day of the first month, the god of the sea is sacrificed.

It was lively all day during the day, and it gradually quieted down after dark. All around was the sound of waves crashing on the shore, making the land very lonely.

Ye Yu cleaned the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the grass hut in three or two, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart when he saw A-Niang holding her clothes in a daze.

A-Niang is missing Daddy and Big Brother again......

Yes, today is a special day, if Daddy and eldest brother are still there, they will also go to worship the sea god. Every year on this day, they would bring their share of the sacrifice home for her and her mother, and it was a rare time of the year when they could eat meat.

The family and Hemeimei are happy even if they are not rich.

Can ...... now

A storm overturned Daddy's fishing boat, and it wasn't until the next day that the shattered hull was found. The villagers helped to search for several days, but no one was found. They all said that most of the people who didn't find it were fed to the belly of the fish.

Of course, she didn't want to believe that Daddy and eldest brother died like this, but grandma pressed to do the funeral, and she and her mother couldn't stop it.

Afterward......

Grandma said that she was a widow and drove her and her mother out. Fortunately, there is a grass hut built by the villagers on the small island at the edge of the village for them to settle down temporarily, otherwise they really don't know where to go.

Ye Yu touched the red spot on the right side of his face, and his heart was very sour. Grandma Xing is right, she is an ominous person, so she was born with red spots on her face, and she couldn't even speak badly, and she also restrained her father and eldest brother.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes, but she didn't dare to let A-Niang see it, so she secretly wiped away the tears that came out of her while walking.

"Ah Lang (mother), it's not early, the year (sleep) sleep, right?"

Hearing his daughter's cautious and tentative voice, Xu, who was immersed in memories, immediately sobered up. She hurriedly answered, and then secretly wiped away her tears while she turned her head to put her clothes away. Ye Yu saw it and pretended not to see it, went out to fetch water and came back, and the mother and daughter blew out the lights and stopped after washing briefly.

Xu's body was weak, and even if he had a heavy heart, he quickly fell asleep, but Ye Yu couldn't sleep.

The corn at home can only last for three days at most before it is eaten up, and A-Niang's medicine is only the last packet. In the past two days, it is necessary to have a bumper harvest to sell the price, grab medicine and buy grain, and by the way, I have to return the grain borrowed by Aunt Qiu last time.

Although Aunt Qiu kept saying that she didn't have to pay it back, her mother-in-law had a very strong mouth, and she didn't know how long she would have to scold behind her back. There is also a penny of silver borrowed from Aunt Fuhua, and I have to pay it back as soon as possible.

In the past, she could pay it back slowly, but now that her two sons have reached the age of marriage, the family is short of money. A penny of silver is not a lot, but it can also make several tables, and it is always difficult to feel at ease when it is owed.

"Alas......"

Ye Yu had a headache, and he didn't know how long it took to toss and turn, and finally he couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply got up and sat at the door, and rubbed the grass rope by the moonlight outside.

After rubbing more than a dozen in a row, I finally got rid of my sleepiness. She didn't want to resist, but after arranging the rope and hay, she got up and prepared to enter the house. As a result, as soon as the person got up, his eyes were attracted by a bright light in the sky.

What is that?!!

Meteors?!

When Ye Yu was a child, he heard adults say that the stars in the sky would fall. It is said that they are very small, very small, and fly very fast, crossing the sky like a line, and then disappearing quickly. But the white light in the sky was very thick, and it did not pass through the sky, but it was getting closer and closer to the ground!

At this time, Ye Yu was completely sleepy, and she subconsciously walked to a more spacious place in front of the grass hut to stare at the white light. Unfortunately, the brighter and brighter light fell into the sea in a few breaths.

Did you fall into the sea?

She wasn't sure, after all, there were many islands in that direction. What is it, is it really the stars in the sky that have fallen?

Ye Yu was very curious, and squatted outside for a while, but he didn't wait for any vision, so he had to go back to the house and sleep. If you want to harvest a good harvest tomorrow, it will take a lot of physical strength, and if you don't rest well, it will be bad if you don't have the energy to work.

She didn't pay attention to this fleeting void light, and she didn't mention it to A-Niang the next day. Ah Niang has a heavy mind, if she knows that she doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and rubs the rope, I'm afraid that she will have to think more.

"Ah Lang (mother), it's almost time to retreat (tide), I'm leaving......"

Ye Yu said hello to Ah Niang, and then took her basket and two wooden barrels to the place where she parked her raft on the edge of the island. It is said to be a raft, but in fact, it is a dozen pieces of wood that are simply tied together, small and old. That's it, it's already a more valuable thing at home.

She put the barrel on it, untied the rope tied to the reef, climbed up and sat down herself, and paddled the pulp away little by little.

The rising sun still carries patches of red glow, and the sea surface is also very colorful and beautiful, but no one appreciates it.

At this time, the tide has actually begun to recede, but it is not the best time to catch the sea, and you have to wait for the tide to recede far enough before there will be enough sea objects exposed. It will take about an hour, enough for Ye Yu to row to Baoshan Island. In fact, if it is convenient, it is more time-saving and labor-saving to row back to Baishui Bay directly to catch the sea on the tidal flat outside the village. But she didn't want to go back to the village to be pointed at, and she didn't want to meet her grandmother being pointed at and scolded by them.

There are many good people in the village, but there are also many bitter and mean people, and those people speak too harshly, so they can naturally avoid them. Besides, if you row farther to Baoshan Island to catch the sea, no one can compete to catch more seafood, but it will be a little harder.

Ye Yu is undoubtedly a very hard-working person, and he has not rested for most of the hour.

Soon she saw the destination of her trip.

Baoshan Island

Baoshan Island is located in the middle of two small islands, which is not much larger than the small island where I am now located. The trees on the island are lush and vibrant, and from time to time there are birds that burrow into it.

This sea area is rich in marine life, and there are many good things on the island. The most important thing is that there is a large freshwater lake on the island, which is why it was named Baoshan. However, because it is a bit far from the shore, few villagers paddle over, and most of the people who come here to rest are fishermen passing by.

Ye Yu found his usual place to dock and tied the raft, carried the bucket and went to the forest to pull some weeds and find some hay to tie around his waist, which was used to tie crabs.

Although the crabs in February are not fat enough, they can be sold for a few pennies if they are large, which is more money than catching crabs with small fish and shrimp. It's just that the tide has just begun to recede, and the reef where the crabs are hiding has not yet been exposed, so she usually digs clams on the beach at this time.

Clams are small, fan-shaped sea creatures that like to hide in the sand, and experienced people will know that they are in stock when they see the tiny two small holes in the beach.

There are too many of these things on the beach, and the people in the village usually let the children dig them back and feed the ducks, but they don't get too much when they catch the sea. Because it has a heavy shell and little meat, it is only a small bowl to get a big basket and peel off the meat.

Ye Yu doesn't dig much every time he catches the sea, just enough to cook soup a day. The clam soup is very fresh, and it is one of the few things that A-Niang can eat more.

Thinking of A-Niang, her movements paused. Today's low tide is in the morning, and when she finishes catching the sea and then goes to sell the seafood, it is estimated that it will be past noon, and I don't know if A-Niang will eat at home obediently. Ah Niang's temperament, in order to save food, maybe she simply didn't eat it while she was not at home.

You have to move fast and go back early.

Ye Yu quickly dug out a small piece of clams nearby and put them into the bucket, and when she dug up the clams, the sea water also receded a lot. The tide recedes very quickly, and some fish and shrimp will run aground on the beach before they can react. Like now, she had seen a fish glowing white in the sun bouncing on the beach.

It's a little pomfret!
