Chapter 1031 Snail Fossil (9000 words, 2 monthly tickets)(2/3)

"Pay attention to the weather forecast at night. The weather forecast is not accurate in reporting other weather conditions, but when it rains, it is quite accurate in reporting whether it will be rainy or sunny."

Ye's mother suddenly gossiped, "Wang Laoqi's family in the village made a big fuss at the door today. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home were scolding each other. It rained and they had no place to dry their dried fish. They pointed at each other.

The men in the family scolded me terribly."

Ye Yaodong was confused for a moment, and then suddenly realized who he was talking about, "Wang Laoqi and his son who went to the market to sell dried fish after the New Year, lost all their money, and were beaten up?"

"Yes, I just got out of bed a few days ago, and I asked Wang Laoqi, who had collected a lot of fish at the dock and was going to dry it again. Today was miserable. The mother-in-law was crying and cursing at the door, saying that she wanted to pay for it.

I have no hope of returning, and I still say why I have to imitate you. This is so miserable."

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "It just rained for a day or two, so it should be okay? Most of the sunburned things some time ago should have been put away."

"Who knows how long it has been raining, but I heard that his mother-in-law scolded her while collecting dried fish in the rain. After collecting it, she sat at the door and cried for her father and mother. She said that the money was spent in vain. It was all prodigal men who had to dry it. Now

If you don’t make any money, you have to pay it back.”

"My hair is long but my knowledge is short. I started crying even before it rained. I'll wait for the next week's rain and the dried fish will stink. It's too late to cry again... ah... the bad ones don't work, but the good ones work. Good luck..."

Father Ye looked at the glares from the whole family and hurriedly sighed twice, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.

"Where are you peeing? Are you disgusting? Are you spitting in my direction?" Mother Ye stared at him with eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose.

Father Ye knew that what he said was wrong and he was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just glared back, as if this would prevent him from falling behind.

Ye Yaodong felt that he had found the reason why Ye Chenghe couldn't speak and had low emotional intelligence.

I didn't know that his father could be so "good at talking" before, and Ye Chenghe was just better than his master.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and smoothed things over, "Fortunately, we have earned back all the money we should have earned. In the past two years, we have also made a lot of money selling dried fish. These groceries were also brought back from home, and they did not cost much. Compared with others,

Compared with spending money to buy it, it’s not a loss for us.”

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. You won't lose money anyway. When I came back yesterday, I sold everything that could be sold for money, but these were all unsaleable. Today, most of them were poured in and fermented into fish sauce.

You won’t lose money.”

After a little calculation like this, the gloom in everyone's hearts immediately dissipated, their expressions became relaxed, and everyone was afraid of suffering and losing money.

After calculating, I won’t lose money, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became relaxed.

People are afraid of comparison. Without comparison, there will be no harm. Anyway, some people are more unlucky, and the worst one is not me, so that is not unacceptable.

The children felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and they dared to speak.

"Dad, are those snacks bought for us to eat?"

Ye Chenghu pointed to the cupboard next to the stove. Through the cupboard, they saw the instant noodles and snacks inside. In fact, he had been looking around for lunch and had already seen them.

It's just that the adults were in a bad mood and didn't say a word at the dinner table. They also kept their tails between their legs and didn't dare to say anything, let alone ask for the snacks Ye Yaodong promised in the morning.

Ye Yaodong responded softly, "You can share it after you finish eating."

"OK."

"I'll divide it later. Can you still eat it after you've just finished eating?"

"sure."

Ye Yaodong also said: "What can't they eat? One stomach for eating and another stomach for snacks. How can they still not be able to eat it?"

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang nodded quickly like chickens pecking at rice.

"Dad is right."

Ye Yaodong turned to ask his father, "How was Ah Hai's study at the shipyard today?"

"How can he learn in just one day? He helps with chores, moves, and does whatever the masters tell him to do."

"Then take your time and do odd jobs. Anyway, you have to do odd jobs when you first go there. Fortunately, I can only do odd jobs on weekends. After working for a year or two, I can almost pass the odd job period."

"Well, that's not a bad idea. Anyway, as long as I go over there on the weekends and do some odd jobs, it's still a qualification. After a year or two, I can start to learn something."

"If you really don't like what you're doing, you can do something else when the time comes. It won't delay anything at all."

"Nonsense, what else can you do? How can it be better than this kind of iron rice bowl job? Go and learn other things, but if you don't have an iron rice bowl, you still have to look at the master's face. It doesn't matter when he teaches you something, you still have to be at will.

You can be beaten and scolded as you like. This kind of big factory is short of manpower, so they must be able to teach you, and you can’t just beat and scold them randomly.”

"Then he has to like it anyway. Forget it, let's talk about it. I'll send him there today. After he knows the way, I can let him go by himself next week. He can ride a bicycle anyway."

"Yes, let him go by himself next time. Whoever has time can send him home and just walk. How can a half-grown boy's feet be so precious?"

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said nothing. His father also had double standards. He knew how easy it was to ride a bicycle, but he was reluctant to let his children ride it.

It rained all night. Although the mood of the whole family was not that bad, it was still not good. The weather forecast still said it would rain tomorrow.

This time it was really accurate.

And it rained not just for the next day, but for two days in a row. During this period, the couple went to the workshop from time to time and took bamboo to dump the water on the nylon canopy to prevent it from being too heavy and collapsing directly, which would be a bad thing.

Fortunately, after two days of rain, a clear sky appeared immediately on the third day. The huge sun directly drove away everyone's irritability, and also disappointed some jealous people who were looking forward to seeing if there would be any losses on their trip.

A little bit.

They are not RMB. It is impossible for everyone in the village not to envy them and like them. Everyone has a dark side.

When Ye Yaodong woke up early in the morning, he was so excited by the dazzling sunlight streaming in through the window that he immediately got up, dressed and went out.

It rained for two days, which made them depressed. Fortunately, it cleared up after raining for two days. After the super sun came out, there were more people walking around the door.

I don’t know if the waves on the beach are big or not, but the tide is going out, and there are half-grown children jumping and playing on the beach.

When he went out, Lin Xiuqing walked over to him, holding a handful of green Haiqing in his hand.

She smiled and said: "It's sunny. I just went outside the pier to check the tide. I saw sea green on the rocks, so I grabbed a handful back. I'll make soup at noon. I'll go dig some clams on the beach later. Unfortunately, there are no clams.

Oysters, otherwise add some oysters to make it more fragrant."

"If you want oysters, I'll sail out to the surrounding islands later to dig some?"

"Forget it, it just rained and the rocks are very slippery and unsafe. You just caught a cold, so you should rest at home. The sea breeze on the island is stronger."

Since there is always work in his workshop, his elder sister-in-law and other neighbors are too lazy to go out to the sea to dig out these shells.

Not to mention having a boat at home, the key is that the things are heavy and even their women cannot carry them. They have to rely on the men at home to carry them back every day. The couple goes out for nearly a day and a night, and they have to dig and dry them hard when they come back.

There is also a risk of slipping off the rocks.

It doesn't matter if the family is poor, they can do whatever they can to earn money, but now that they have other odd jobs to do, they naturally don't want to do this more laborious and troublesome thing.

What's more, we dug intermittently for more than half a year last year, and the surrounding islands were basically hollowed out. I don't know if they have grown back more than half a year ago.

"Then just break two eggs and make an omelette. I'll have nothing to do later, so I'll go dig some clams and fry them for a bowl."

"The eggs should be kept for hatching the chicks, as well as the duck eggs. I'd better use them for cold dressing and add some dried shrimp skin and coriander."

"That's okay. Is the hen at home laying a nest?"

"It's almost time, you have to get ready."

"Then kill a chicken tonight. There will be new chicks soon."

"Okay, I haven't finished the fish from the past two days, and you are thinking about eating chicken."

"No conflict, supplement at the same time, more exciting."

Lin Xiuqing took one look at him and went into the house first.

Ye Yaodong also went for a walk around the workshop. After a sunny day, everything looked pleasing to the eye. It rained for two days, and it felt that it didn't have a great impact on them. At most, the half-dried fish became damp again, and they had to dry out for a few more days.

After shopping, he went to take a look at the small slope next to the Mazu Temple. The small cherry seedlings that were moved there last year had grown even taller, already reaching his waist, but he didn't know when two more of them died.

Originally they were planted quite densely, but now a year has passed and seven or eight trees have died one after another. It doesn't look that dense. Only a few trees are still close together, but it's not a big problem.

It has rained for two days, and the greenery on the cherry leaves has become thicker. The spring rain is as precious as oil, and it is a direct nourishment of natural nutrients.

I probably won’t be able to eat cherries this year, but I might have a chance next year.

When there is more rain, there is no need to water it yourself. When summer comes, just ask the children at home to remember to water it.

After going around in a circle, he went outside the pier and looked at the waves with a little spray in the distance. He thought that even if it cleared up again, the waves in the outer sea would probably not calm down so quickly, and he would have to rest at home for two days.

He slowly went home again.

After walking back and forth, the rain boots on his feet were all muddy. On the way back, he walked through puddles so that he could scrape off the mud under the soles of the rain boots.

The two little girls at home had been watching movies for two days. After watching TV for two days, the weather finally cleared and they couldn't stay any longer. He got up and went out. After a while, they also got up and ran out. Lin Xiuqing had to lead them.

Digging clams on the beach.

When Ye Yaodong returned home and saw no one, the old lady told him that they had all gone to the beach, so he turned around and picked up a bucket and followed her to the beach.

The family dog ​​couldn't stay still and ran to the beach after it cleared up early in the morning.

When he went to the beach, he saw a bunch of sand clams and small fish here and a bunch of conch clams there. A child approached and wanted to take it, but his dog barked and scared him away. He knew it was him at a glance.

Harvest of a domestic dog chasing the sea.

"It's pretty cool, guys."

He touched the head of the big yellow dog in front of him, and the dogs in the distance immediately ran over, some with a live fish in their mouths.

After rushing up to him, he put the dog's head directly into the bucket, and the fish fell into his bucket with a splash.

Other dogs with goods in their mouths also lined up to vomit into the bucket.

There was only one Dalmatian dog squatting there blankly. Ye Yaodong didn't care. He just squatted down and put the harvest they picked up on the ground into the bucket, and then prepared to collect the next pile ahead.

Unexpectedly, the Dalmatian who had been stunned just now ran directly in front of him, blocking his way, then opened his mouth and spit out a piece of stuff at his feet.

He looked at it as a stone, so he didn't care and walked away.

But the Dalmatian jumped on his feet and barked wildly.
