Return to the small fishing village of 1982

"I have good eyesight. Several crabs were covered in mud and hiding in the tidal flats. I almost missed them." He admitted that he was indeed lucky, but it was also partly due to his experience.

"I was quite happy to have caught a blue crab, but this comparison has greatly reduced my chances of catching a blue crab." Azheng shook his head and said gloomily.

"It's okay, the tide hasn't come up yet. Let's just walk around the tidal flats. Hey, where are Fatty and A-Guang?"

Xiaoxiao pointed towards the beach beside the reef, "Hey, Fatty is taking a nap there."

Ye Yaodong turned sideways and looked in the direction of his finger. He saw the fat man lying on the beach with his hands behind his head and his hat covering his face.

"Damn it, can you sleep here? Is he a pig?"

"Isn't he just a pig?"

Speechless!

Under such a bright sun, the sky can be used as a quilt and the earth can be used as a bed. He is really convinced!

"Aguang went to pick up small abalones. He thought the ones on the rocks were more suitable for him."

"Oh!" He also saw a figure on the reef with his butt sticking out. "Then you continue to look for it. The tide will not come up for a while. I'm going to rest for a while."

As he said that, he walked towards the patch of sand where he had caught the sea centipedes before. There was also a small half bucket of sea centipedes that he had caught before, so he could take a break and continue catching.

Although this thing looks a little disgusting, it is also extremely delicious for gourmets.

There is no such thing on the beach in their village. Before the sea water rises, he can continue to dig holes and catch some more. He doesn't know if their pier will be closed.

It's okay if you don't collect them. As long as you don't kill them, they can be released for two or three days. There are many people in his family, so I guess they won't be released for three days. They will be wiped out in two days at most.

Sea centipedes, some 20-30 centimeters long and only a few centimeters short, were caught out of the hole one after another.

"Are you still catching me? It's not disgusting."

Ye Yaodong knew it was A Guang from the sound, and said without raising his head: "It's okay to catch them one by one. Isn't it just a centipede in the sea? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"Do you have to sell them for catching so many? Or do you want to eat them yourself?"

"It depends on whether Ah Cai will accept it or not. If not, just keep it for yourself."

Aguang looked at the bamboo basket next to him, "There are also blue crabs, they are quite big. The harvest is good, I can barely earn a day's wages."

"I envy you to death, I caught seven of them, two females and five males. They were all very meaty." Ye Yaodong was quite proud. He had never thought that the products on the isolated island were so rich.

"What? Seven? What kind of bad luck are you!"

Aguang's eyes widened in disbelief and he shook the bamboo basket. Sure enough, he saw several large pliers from underneath.

"Ah Zheng and Chen Wei also caught one each. Do you want to go for a walk? The tide is not full yet."

"Go, go now, tell me where to catch him!"

Ye Yaodong pointed to him and reassured him, "There, I've basically turned around. You can go a little further. I've never been to that direction."

"knew."

Aguang excitedly ran towards the direction he pointed. As soon as the tide started to rise, it would rise quickly. What's more, it was already the first day of the new year and the water level had not receded very low today.

Ye Yaodong didn't expect that it was just a suggestion, but A Guang harvested two blue crabs, one of which was huge, a little bigger than his biggest one.

Come back and be the envy of others.

Xiaoxiao said jokingly: "Master Dongzi, please give me some advice anytime."

"Yeah, if I had known I'd asked you a few more times just now, maybe I could have caught two of them!" A Zhenghui's intestines turned green, and he was still chatting with Dongzi in front of him.

A Guangze was a bit knowledgeable and said with a regretful face: "Oh, I went too late. I only found two of them before the tide came up. The second one was almost washed into the sea by the tide. Fortunately, I was quick. "

"It's okay. You have two blue crabs all of a sudden. Fatty and Xiaoxiao don't have one. If I had known there were them over there, I would have gone there by myself." Ye Yaodong said with a smile and then reminded everyone, "Tide Everyone is here, let’s pack up everything and get on the boat.”

"Let's go home. I'm starving to death."

"Me too, I'm very hungry."

"I woke up the damn fat guy..."

"Just throw him here and treat him like a savage..."

"Speaking so loudly, do you think I'm deaf and didn't hear you?"

Everyone joked and carried their own buckets and tools onto the boat first. Then Aguang went to untie the rope and used the bamboo poles on the boat to extend the distance from the shore before starting the machine.

It's almost four o'clock now. It's been a whole day since we got out early in the morning. Everyone is exhausted. As soon as they get on the boat, they sit or lean in an awkward position.

"This fishing trip is quite hard. Fortunately, today's harvest is good and it is not in vain." Chen Wei twisted his neck and said.

His temperament is not as lively as theirs, and they usually make jokes and jokes. He doesn't talk much and only speaks occasionally.

The fat man rolled his eyes, "Why do I think you are mocking me?"

"Hahaha, be more confident and remove the word "feel"." Ye Yaodong said with a smile.

Others couldn't help but feel happy.

"Fat man, you might as well not come. Look at your fat and white face, but it's all tanned."

"There's nothing wrong with a man being darker. It's just that it's too hot and too sunny. I won't come next time."

"Tomorrow I'll go to Dongzi's homestead to help, and I'll have to show off..."

Ye Yaodong quickly said: "Hey, don't force me. Who is willing to work under the sun on such a hot day? I won't force you to come or not."

The fat man said a little embarrassedly: "I'll help you depending on the situation."

"It's okay. Building a house doesn't happen in a day or two. The family has hired workers, so you can do whatever you want."

Everyone nodded. Anyway, I just wanted to help depending on the situation.

The boat arrived at the dock after more than ten minutes of sailing. After it docked, they all got off the boat, leaving only Ye Yaodong watching on the boat.

They had to go back and get sacks to load the goods. There were several piles of shellfish they had collected on the deck. They also had to push a cart over, otherwise it would be too heavy to pick up and take home.

While he was waiting, fishing boats came in one after another. It was already afternoon, and it was time for the trawling boats to come in.

They were all from the same village, so there was no one they didn't know. Everyone greeted him one after another. Seeing that his deck was full of shellfish, they all asked a few questions out of curiosity, but he was the one who put them off.

They all looked common on the rocks, and no one thought it was strange. Ye Yaodong was unwilling to say more, so they stopped asking, but couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After waiting for a while, he saw his mother appear on the shore, she must be waiting for his father.

Mother Ye also saw him, called out quickly, and trotted towards him, "Why did you come back just now, and you went there for a whole... why are there so many goods?"

Before she could finish her words, her eyes widened in surprise at the shelled objects piled all over the boat.
