Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Early the next morning, when there was movement around him, Ye Yaodong also woke up. He couldn't open his eyes for a while, so he turned a blind eye and saw Lin Xiuqing dressing the two children.

"What time is it? Are you two up so early?"

"Six o'clock!"

After Ye Chenghu finished putting on his clothes, he crawled over and said curiously: "Dad, why did you wake up so early today?"

"Can't you? Go to bed early and get up early for good health!"

"Then you usually sleep until the sun shines on your butt before you get up."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his eldest son, stopped talking, and continued to close his eyes. It was too early and there was nothing to do, so he squinted for a while.

"Hehe~ Grandma said that dad is a lazy man!"

The younger son also shouted excitedly: "Big lazy boy! Big lazy boy!"

He opened his eyes again and glared at his two sons. These two were so unpleasant! After his death, he left a sum of compensation money for them!

"Why are you making noise so early in the morning? Let's go out and play!"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

The eldest son made a face at him and slipped out of bed and ran out. The second son looked extremely anxious and said, "Brother, brother~"

"Why are you so anxious?" Lin Xiuqing put on his pants and put him on the ground. "Be careful, don't run away and fall."

As she talked, she followed behind with the bowl and spoon from last night and the wet sheets.

"The shorts I changed into last night are on the stool in the corner, and my clothes are thrown in the backyard."

"knew."

After the door was closed, the room became quiet again, but Ye Yaodong was no longer sleepy. He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to rest. He was afraid that he would surprise everyone if he got up too early.

As a result, before he lay down for a while, he heard his second sister-in-law gossiping loudly in the main room, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't hear.

"Mom, the construction of the house will start in two days. Ah Hua and the eldest brother will take turns going to sea with dad, leaving only one at home. Will Yaodong have to help with the lifting even if Yaodong doesn't go to sea? He is idle anyway. , otherwise hiring one more person will cost you extra wages.”

"I'll talk to him when he gets up!"

"The three brothers each share a room. If he doesn't go to sea, he still has to help. After the separation, he becomes a family member and has to take some responsibility."

Sister-in-law Ye also agreed, "Yeah, I don't expect him to do much work, but at least he can help..."

Sister-in-law Ye's voice was not as loud as Sister-in-law Ye's. Ye Yaodong couldn't hear it very clearly, but he still listened a little.

He frowned. His elder sister-in-law was okay and kind, but this second sister-in-law was particularly picky, talkative, petty, and very calculating. Fortunately, his wife was not like this.

In fact, with a husband like him, Lin Xiuqing is quite sympathetic, and his mother will also favor her a little. Every time she goes back to her parents' home, her mother will secretly give her some money to buy some fish to take back.

His elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law do not get this treatment. After all, his elder brother and second brother are both hard-working people.

Think about it, except for the second day of the first lunar month when he accompanied his wife back to her parents' home, he didn't seem to have accompanied his wife back home for more than half a year.

Although he was a little ineffective, his father-in-law was pretty good to him in the early stage. Maybe it was mainly because he felt sorry for his daughter, right?

In the later stage, it will disappear. I will ignore him, and maybe scold him behind his back every day...

When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, he can accompany his wife back to her parents' home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

He lay on the bed and thought about this for a long time. He felt that the sunlight coming in from outside was a bit dazzling. It seemed that the time was almost up, so he got up.

As soon as he opened the door and went out, his grandma was surprised, "Why did you get up so early, Dongzi? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"It's getting late. Dad and my eldest brother went to sea at one o'clock. Ah Hua got up at 6 o'clock and went to weed the foundation. Even the children went to play after dinner. Who else in the family slept as comfortably as him?" Sister-in-law Ye Er said Sitting at the door, when I heard the old lady's words, I couldn't help but look up at the dazzling sunshine, and said straightly into the room.

Ye Yaodong licked his ears and pretended not to hear. He had listened to it all his life, so he was used to it!

"Get up as soon as you wake up. Have you had breakfast?"

"Eat, eat, go to the back door to brush your teeth and wash your face."

"Um."

After brushing his teeth, he was a little anxious to urinate. As a result, he turned around and took two steps. He saw a simple hut built with bricks and straw in the corner of the backyard, and the door was covered with a broken board. He instantly remembered that it was inside. A big toilet, um... there's everything in the toilet...

And at this time, he also heard the buzzing sound of big-headed green flies flying by...

Ye Yaodong retracted his outstretched leg and walked towards the vegetable field in front of him. He might as well urinate into the vegetable field to fertilize it.

Yesterday morning I peed on the beach while I was fishing, and yesterday afternoon I peed in the grass at A Guang's house. I really didn't think about the toilet at home.

Uh...can't think of it, he will have breakfast later!

He felt that he had the motivation to live a good life again. Not only did he have to buy a bed, he also had to work hard to build a decent toilet.

After urinating and shaking a few times, he went straight back to the house.

Porridge and two dried fish were already placed on the table. The porridge was still shredded sweet potato porridge, but it was rare that it was not pickled pickles but dried fish. His appetite was instantly whetted.

"Grandma, was this dried fish dried yesterday?"

The old lady smiled and showed her toothless gums, "Yeah, it's too small and worthless. The day before yesterday, your father brought dozens of kilograms back to kill. Yesterday, it dried in the sun for a day. This morning, I steamed a bowl specially for you. There are two left, eat them quickly!”

This is dried paddy fish. It is only a little longer than his middle finger if the head is removed. It is small and not easy to braise, but it is suitable for drying. It is the best meal for people at the beach.

"Well, it smells pretty good!"

"If you like it, steam it again at noon. There will definitely be some left when your father comes back in the evening. We will continue to dry it tomorrow."

"Do you want to break the corn today? I'll go to the field to break it for you later?"

The old lady waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, if you don't have time, don't use it. I'll take a few little ones later and pick a basket."

"I'm free. I'm very free. Today's tide will be half an hour to an hour later than yesterday. There's no need to go to the beach so early. I'll pick it for you right after eating."

"Aren't you going out to play today?"

"It's too hot and I don't want to go out. I made an appointment with some friends to go fishing together after the tide goes out."

"Okay, okay, then pick it for me."

Ye Yaodong pulled a small bowl of porridge in. When the old lady reached out with a rag to put away the bowl, he took the rag in her hand first, swept the fish bones on the table into the bowl, and took it to the back door.

The old lady smiled broadly and said, "Just leave it there for a while and let your wife wash it."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing his youngest son sitting alone at the door playing with conches, he picked him up and asked, "Do you want to go play?"

"Yes, yes!" Ye Chengyang hugged his neck excitedly.

He was the youngest in the family, and all his brothers and sisters had run away before he finished eating, leaving him alone at home with his mother.
