Chapter 268 The hairs stand on end

  Ye Yaodong stood there for a long while listening to the random conversation in his ears. He didn't move for a long time, feeling like a waste of time. When he was about to leave, he saw people's heads shaking in front of him, accompanied by the noise from the crowd.

   "Come, come, come out..."

  The villagers on the third floor outside and the third floor outside were all boiling, feeling as if some big leader was here, they all stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, trying to see the true face of Lushan Mountain.

  The crowd also automatically moved out of the way at this time, Ye Yaodong also clearly saw the smiles on the faces of the village committee members, and his cousin sister-in-law also gave it away with a smile.

   It seems that there is nothing unpleasant, the feeling of having a good conversation?

   "Okay, don't send any more, we will get to know each other better, and we will come to you again..."

  Secretary Chen also said with a smile: "The selection of 10,000-yuan households is a major event. You must understand it clearly. Don't worry. When the county understands it clearly, there will definitely be a commendation meeting..."

Mrs. Ye Datang nodded desperately with a smile on her face, "Oh, okay... It's also my fault that a village woman doesn't know much about the outside man. I only know that he has made a lot of money in business. He should come back in a few days. When the time comes I'm going to tell the secretary..."

  The group of people smiled and nodded, then walked out...

  Ye Yaodong rubbed his chin. It should be that his cousin didn't know what to do after asking, so it's not easy for these county leaders to confirm it directly. They probably have to find out the bottom line, and then they will come again when his cousin comes back.

   As for the fate of coming back, it's hard to say...

  The village committee members kept laughing and followed the county leaders to the commune, followed by a large group of villagers who hadn't seen enough excitement.

Ye Yaodong waited for them to go far away before walking towards his sister-in-law in the lobby. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw a group of women surrounded by her, asking her when she would be on the newspaper and on TV. ? Can they still take money to invest in the business?

  The corner of his mouth twitched and he stopped.

   Forget it, there is no need to be curious about this.

  Since I said everything just now, people will come back in a few days, so I will know how it develops in a few days.

  He turned around, walked directly to the side path, and walked in the direction of his hometown.

  Mother Ye was patting the quilt at the door at this time. The door was supported by a bamboo pole, and a pile of quilts and clothes were hanging to dry.

  His younger sister seems to have just finished washing her hair. She is drying her hair with a towel with her head down at the door. There are stools and a basin of water beside her.

  The old lady couldn't stay idle, his father was cutting bamboo strips nearby, and she was also weaving bamboo baskets there.

   "It's very comfortable, they are all basking in the sun."

   "Dongzi is here, come and sit here and enjoy the sun." The old lady happily beckoned him to sit beside her.

Mother Ye also asked curiously at this time: "Dongzi, did you hear that the county leader went to the countryside to your brother's house on the way when you came here? I heard that his family came from a million-dollar household, and how did I hear that?" What's the matter with you, you said you went to your house?"

   "Just now I have been washing clothes by the back door. I don't know. I only heard the neighbors talking about it when I came out to dry the clothes. What's going on?"

  Ye Yaodong used his own set of excuses to prevaricate again, of course he still said that the village committee got the wrong name, so he went to his house, and then his cousin jumped out and went to Ye Yaohong's house logically.

   "It's a pity, if you are a million-dollar household, it would be great, then you can be published in the newspaper, and I don't know what rewards? It's cheaper for their family, they are so rich, and there are rewards..."

  He nodded casually, and stopped answering his mother's words, and turned to look at his father, "Look at this afternoon, if there are no storms, get ready and go to sea at night."

  Father Ye nodded.

  Beside Ye Huimei also said excitedly: "It just so happens that the weather is fine today. After so many rainy days, it finally clears up. The weather should be fine tomorrow too. Mother, let's go to sea with the third brother at night. It happens to be the first day of the new year tomorrow."

  Mother Ye patted the quilt with a stick and said, "Fortunately, it's sunny, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go."

   "I don't want to bask in the sun comfortably at home, I have to go to the island to enjoy the cold wind..." Ye Yaodong said angrily.

   "Traveling the sea is very interesting, third brother, wear a hat, a scarf, and gloves so you won't be afraid of the wind."

   "Never mind you!"

  Ye Yaodong actually just talked about it, and when he went to sea at night, he was still worried about them.

After hooking up the bait and lowering the hook, he hauled a net near the island before dawn, and waited until the day was completely bright before reeling in the net, and then handed over the goods to his father for sorting, and he took the boat to the oarfish island go.

  The uninhabited island has been directly named Oarfish Island by him...

  It was around 7:00 when the fishing boat docked, and the tide began to ebb at 6:00. At this moment, the water level in some places was quite high. Ye Yaodong walked around the island and stopped around a low reef.

   Then I helped my mother and younger sister disembark carefully and climbed onto the rocks.

  There are dense mussels growing on the reef, and some spicy snails are attached to it. Ye Huimei bent down happily to pick it up as soon as she stood up, but the one she aimed at was particularly big.

  The snail meat was attached to it with great force, she pulled it out forcefully, her body swayed and almost fell, but fortunately Ye Yaodong grabbed her back collar and stabilized her.

He sternly said: "Why are you in a hurry? We are the only ones on the whole island. Are you afraid that you won't be able to dig? You stretch out your hand before you step on it, and you don't know how to be careful. The rocks below are all sharp. Juveniles and all kinds of shelled ones, what will you do if you fall and hit the back of your head?"

  Ye Huimei had never seen him be so strict before, and she was really taken aback, so guilty that she didn't dare to say anything.

  Mother Ye also scolded: "How old are you, I don't know how to be careful, the wind is so strong, it can blow you down, and there will be time to dig next time."

  Ye Huimei lowered her head aggrieved, "I was wrong, I was just too excited, I must be careful next time."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about her, go down first, it's a bit high here", Father Ye quickly smoothed things over, "The water level in the place where a little sand is exposed in front is a bit shallow, so it's not easy to go to the shore, so we can only stop here. Get off the rock and talk."

  Ye Huimei walked down very carefully with both hands and feet, and Ye Yaodong also went up to support her.

  The exposed beach area is only less than ten square meters, but the tide is receding, and a larger area will be exposed in the future.

  As soon as they stood on the beach, Ye Yaodong saw the sea wash in front of him, and there was a big octopus rising and falling with the waves.

  He trotted up, first clamped it with tongs to prevent it from being washed by the sea water and went into the sea again, and then bent down and grabbed it.

  The flurry of tentacles wrapped around his arm tightly in an instant, the slippery touch, and the tight adsorption made people feel a little disgusted, he walked back after catching it.

  Mother Ye said happily: "Dongzi reacted quickly and caught a big red badge in no time. This one is not small."

  Ye Yaodong grabbed it with both hands and threw it into the bucket, but after a while its tentacles climbed up the edge of the bucket again, trying to escape, so he had to grab it and throw it into the sack.

   "Get to work, get to work, be careful, don't climb up and down, dig out the easy to dig first, especially Comrade Ye Huimei, if there is another moth, I won't bring you here again."

  After Ye Huimei recovered, she was no longer afraid of him, and snorted twice, "Next time, you will definitely not bring me here."

   "That's right, you will soon belong to someone else's family, and you will no longer be under our control. Hurry up and pack you up and send you away."

   "Hmph, you used to speak ill of brother Guangzi in front of me every day, but now you want to kick me out quickly, third brother, you are so fickle!"

  Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "The days are looking good, one, two, or three of you don't have any objections, so don't you hurry up and get married to save trouble? If you don't want to stay in a female college, you will become enemies if you stay here! Do you understand?"

   "Go away, go and drag your net."

   "I won't go, I'm going to watch you today."

  Looking at the frizzy look of his little sister, he and his father should watch it better, but it's just a waste of a day, and he's not bad for a day, so there's nothing wrong with it.

   "Aren't you going to drag the net?" Ye Mu just used a flat-head screwdriver to pry two small abalones (small pot lids) off, when he heard that he couldn't go, she asked hastily.

   "It doesn't look like there is much goods today. I just dragged a net full of toad fish. It doesn't matter if I drag it or not. Why don't I accompany you to dig more seafood and dry it."

   "That's okay. If there are more people, you can dig more and save more for the New Year. There will be fewer and fewer people going to sea."

  Father Ye has no objection either, he is still working. He took the sack and started working immediately.

  Ye Yaodong temporarily threw the octopus-filled sack aside, took another one out of the bucket, and shook it out. Knowing that they were going to wash the sea today, they had already brought extra sacks, so they were not afraid of running out of stuff.

  Following his usual habits, he searched around first before finding a good location, and first dug from the location where there were many small abalones (small pot lids).

  There are a lot of people, chatting with each other, time flies, but the wind leaks from all sides on the isolated island, the sea breeze is especially strong, and it is chilly blowing everywhere.

  He deliberately brought his wife a woolen hat and scarf hooked on the bed while she was free a few days ago, but his cheeks were still a little stinging from the wind, even if his back was turned and he occasionally turned his head.

  Looking at the other three who were digging vigorously, they all turned their backs to the howling northwest wind.

  I feel that when I go back, I have to ask his wife to make a few more masks, just take a piece of cloth, sew it, and it’s enough to cover my face, otherwise it’s too uncomfortable to blow my face like this.

   To be honest, his skin is quite tender now, it would be better if he kept it so that it wouldn't be destroyed by the sea breeze.

  He kept spinning his head, but he was not slow in the movements of his hands.

  After digging a large piece of small abalone (small pot lid) in front of him, he didn’t bother to waste time looking around. Then he picked up the spicy snails, flower snails, cat’s eye snails, bergamot, etc. that were adsorbed on it. He planned to go back after digging and pick slowly.

   Except for mussels, sea melon seeds and juvenile shellfish, anyone else is welcome.

  These three quantities are too large, it is better to pack them in a sack alone.

  After he was about to fill a sack with diligence, he twisted his neck, twisted his waist, paused for a while, and then dragged the sack to the side.

  There were already two big bags on the open space next to him. He turned his head and looked at them. His father and mother were holding empty bags at the moment. They dug these two bags.

   Sure enough, **** is still old and spicy, but they are still fast.

  He then took another empty bag, opened it as he walked, and took a look at where the tide ahead had receded.

  However, with just one glance, his eyes widened in shock, his pupils constricted, his heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his hands stood on end.

   No way...

  This kind of thing happened to him...
