Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 61 After the Typhoon
After nightfall, the wind was strong and the rain was pouring. The comparison between day and night was nothing. They poured the washbasin and soup bowl in the house several times, and the table by the window was wet by the rain. Lin Xiuqing deliberately took a foot cloth and spread it.

The two children are not afraid of the strong wind and rain outside, they are still secretly playing with candles...

Ye Chenghu carefully inserted his finger into the candle oil under the wick, and then took it out, and there was an extra layer of white candle cap on his finger.

It wasn't until all ten fingers were covered with candles that they were crushed one by one, and the repetition continued...

Ye Chengyang took out a toothpick from nowhere, fiddled with the wick, and stirred the candle oil...

The candles were flickering and flickering as they played, and the couple realized that the two were mischievous. One of them slapped his ass, and they 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 rested his mind. He had no place to lie down, couldn't sleep, and there was too much noise outside.

His eldest brother and second brother's house also leaked rain and the bed, and they are all three children, and they were all sent to the old lady and his parents' house.

The big guys can only squeeze in at night and get through the night first.

"Both are asleep, I'll lie here for you for a while."

"It's okay, you go to sleep, I can't sleep, it's the same if I catch up on sleep tomorrow during the day, I'll pour all the water out."

Afraid of affecting their sleep, he went to the main room to stay there after pouring the water. Seeing how many benches there were, he took two of them together and lay down, squinting for a while.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that the wind and rain gradually weakened, and Ye Yaodong also had an extra long sleeve as a quilt.

Lying on the bench, he couldn't sleep well, and he would wake up whenever there was any movement. Touching the clothes on his chest, he whispered, "Why did you get up?"

"Hold Yangyang up and pee, come out and take a look if you don't see it."

"The typhoon should have passed, and it's almost dawn. Go back and sleep for a while."

"Go into the house and sleep!"

"No, you go in and accompany the two children, or they should cry when they wake up and don't see you."

Lin Xiuqing took a deep look at him and went into the house.

This was the first time that he didn't sleep like a dead pig on a typhoon day, and he even accommodated the three of them. In previous years, she would sleep on the head of the bed for a night.

Just after dawn, Ye Yaodong sat up. At this time, the old lady came in through the back door with an umbrella. She lived in a small house in the backyard.

"Did Dongzi sleep on the stool last night? Hey, how did you sleep like this? Look, you have been bitten by mosquitoes on your face and neck, wipe it off with your saliva."

He scratched it casually, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it won't itch in a while. The ground is wet, you must support the wall when you go in and out, and be careful."

"Hey, I know, do you want to go to my room and lie down? Ah Hai is still sleeping..."

"No, I'll go to the beach to see if the waves are big."

It was still raining lightly outside, so he took the coir raincoat hanging behind the door, put it on and went out.

At the moment, there are also many villagers wearing coir raincoats walking around on the road. They all come out to see if the typhoon has passed. Everyone greets each other, talking about how strong the wind was last night and how heavy the rain was.

"Why does Dongzi get up so early?"

"Well, come out and take a look if you can't sleep."

"Let's go to the beach together, everyone is going to the beach..."

He nodded casually, and didn't stop in his footsteps. He was just an uncle next door, 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 down along the way, and the roof tiles of many people's roofs were blown all over the ground. The puddles look messy.

After walking to the shore for a while, the sky was a little brighter, and many villagers were already standing on the shore.

From a distance, he could see the rolling waves constantly rushing up and back, and the turbid seawater rose to a height that could not be reached normally. The surrounding villagers discussed that the typhoon had passed, and everyone could go fishing again after the sea level calmed down.

Ye's father and he also reached the shore with their feet forward and backward. The sky is getting brighter and there are more and more people around. When will you withdraw?

One by one stood on the shore, 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 was relieved and went back to have breakfast one after another.

Boss Ye asked while eating: "Father, everyone's house leaked badly yesterday. Should we take advantage of our free time today to check the tiles on the roof and repair them?"

"Well, yes, I guess it was blown by the typhoon last night and shifted quite a bit, that's why the house leaked badly. There are still some tiles in the backyard. After dinner, I'll build a ladder and I'll climb up to have a look."

"Father, our house will start working again tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow. It's wet everywhere now, and the mountains are muddy. The water level by the stream has risen, and it's not convenient to pan for stones. Let's start work a day later."

"Then when can we go to sea?" The two brothers asked in turn.

"It's impossible tonight. The waves at the pier are still big, and the sea must still be affecting it. Let's wait and see how the tide goes tomorrow. There should be more goods after the typhoon passes."

Ye Yaohua has seen Ye Yaodong's harvest yesterday, since he is free today, he is eager to go to the beach now, "Then idle is idle, when the tide starts to recede, let's go to the beach and see if there are any big ones. Pick up goods."

Mother Ye was also very excited, "When the time comes, let's all go and have a look together, and it's okay to buy some seafood as a side dish."

"We're going to the beach too!"

"Yeah, we're going to the beach too..."

"No, it's Taohai, you fools, would you say that we are going to Taohai too!" Ye Chenghai looked at the group of younger brothers and sisters with hatred.

"That's right, let's go to the sea too!"

"There are you everywhere, hurry up and eat, the tide has not receded yet, the waves are very big, none of you are allowed to go to the beach, if you are swept in by the waves, no one can save you", Ye Mu looked at several people seriously. grandson, "Did you hear that?"

"Understood." 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, and they were not allowed to swim in the sea without adults, and they all remembered it firmly.

But to everyone's disappointment, even after the typhoon passed, the tide did not recede immediately today, but the water level dropped a little.

The hope of scouring the sea was in vain, the children were not very disappointed, they could have fun and play other things without going to the beach, but the adults were the most disappointed.

It cleared up for a whole day, and the tide gradually receded until noon the next day, and the Ye family members immediately dispatched to the beach with enthusiasm.
