Chapter 271 Nightmare

   There are quite a lot of husband and wife fish surrounding the entire hull. The whole family didn't pick them up for a while, they straightened up and beat their backs, and then bent down to pick them up again.

  Ye Yaodong started picking from the outside first. After all, the tide will be high soon. It would be a pity if the high tide was pushed back into the sea by the sea.

  When he picked up a full basket, he took the bamboo basket and walked forward, carried it aboard with his father, and then took an empty one to continue picking.

  The family of four was completely forgetful, happily forgetting the past.

  By the time they had picked up almost all the husband and wife fish around the hull, the tide also rose a little bit.

Ye's father suffered from rheumatism for several days, and he didn't dare to go too far. Ye Yaodong saw that he had almost picked up, so he asked his father to get on the boat and pile up the baskets of husband and wife fish. They just pick it up.

   It took an hour until all the fish were wiped out, and everyone's backs couldn't straighten up.

  After the last basket of goods was loaded onto the ship, Ye Yaodong twisted his waist and sighed, "It's all hard money..."

   "Otherwise, do you think it's so easy to make money? The past few years have been fine. Look at the big pot meals a few years ago, don't even think about making money, then everything is collective."

   "Yeah, life is much better now", Father Ye also echoed, "I think back then..."

   "Don't think about the past..." Ye Yaodong interrupted his father's memory of the past, how could he have time to listen now?

   "The tide is coming up, let's carry all the shellfish you just dug onto the boat first, otherwise the water level will be too full and it will be difficult to move, and it will be even more difficult to walk on the rocks."

   "Right, right, go and get on the boat first."

  Mother Ye said with some pity: "It seems to be still early, should I dig a little more?"

   "It's getting late, it's past two o'clock, and I have to collect a longline and sticky net later, and it will be four or five o'clock after the collection, almost."

   "It's so fast, I feel like I didn't do much today..."

   "Is your waist not sore? Does your back hurt?" Ye Yaodong looked at her mother holding her waist with one hand, and still said there was nothing to do today?

  The boat is almost full, why not do anything?

  The older generation is really capable!

   "A little bit, I just feel that time flies very fast."

   "Isn't that right? When there is work to do, time doesn't go by very fast?"

  Ye Yaodong waited for his father to pile up all the goods in a corner, and then they got off the boat to move together. Ye's mother and Ye Huimei were waiting on the boat, helping by the way.

  After getting everything on board, they rested for a while, and when the tide rose a little more, the boat was barely able to sail out.

  Longline fishing did not catch any special goods, it was still the bottom fish, but the palm-length nine-section shrimp stuck to the net a lot, which made Ye Huimei very happy.

  Among the common seafood these days, nine-section shrimp is relatively expensive, especially for such a big one, about twelve per catty, which costs several yuan per catty.

   This net caught seven to eight catties, and the nine-section shrimp died when it landed. It committed suicide, and it is the most courageous shrimp.

  After being filled with water, it will spit out secretions, causing itself to die, so that those who like to try new things will not get their hands on it.

  But they are about to dock, and they will die if they die, it will not affect them.

  Ye Yaodong shook the nine-section shrimp in the basket, and said with a smile, "It happens that you are engaged tomorrow, so you can stay and serve."

  Ye Huimei's cheeks blushed a little shyly, but she didn't make a sound.

   At this time, his appearance is much more pleasing to the eye. When he was on the island before, he was always pale.

  Mother Ye also nodded, "I'll pick and choose later, and save some goods, anyway, they are my own things."

  It was another day full of rewards. Husband and wife fish are not very rare in this era. Fishermen can occasionally catch a few, but the full boat has attracted the curious eyes of many villagers.

   When they got off the boat, they all gathered around and asked, "How did you catch so many couple fish? Aren't these things only available in summer?"

   "How many baskets are there? Seeing that your boat is full, every basket is full..."

   "Recently, it's all frogfish and flounder. This fish is rare, and so many have been caught..."

Mother Ye smiled, and said while carrying it: "It swam up by itself, circled around our boat in piles, and piled up one by one, forming pairs. We've been grabbing them for a long time, and we've been catching them for a long time. It's broken, I don't know where I got so many, I'm exhausted from picking it up..."

  Ye Yaodong lifted the other side without making a sound, just let his mother Versailles...

  He hasn't eaten this thing before, so he kept a few for early adopters, and weighed all the others.

  Twelve baskets, with a net weight of 667 catties after weighing, were not expensive at this time, only 20 cents per catty, but they sold for more than 100 yuan. There were also longline and trawl nets, which together sold for nearly 200 yuan.

  He kept all the conch and cat's eye snails he picked up, and planned to take them back to eat by himself.

  Lin Xiuqing saw the husband and wife fish he brought back, and immediately didn't know where to start, "How do I get this? I haven't killed it before."

   "I'll do it."

   Haven’t eaten it yet, but I still know **** him.

  Remove the meat without the shell, then wash the removed meat and chop it into small pieces with a knife, not too small.

   Tell Lin Xiuqing that he doesn't care about stir-frying after finishing the work. He can only eat, not cook very much, so the division of labor and cooperation is very good.

  But it should be noted that adult couple fish are not poisonous, but young horseshoe crabs are poisonous. Young horseshoe crabs, also known as ghost horseshoe crabs, are poisonous all over their bodies.

   Fortunately, what they caught were adults, and the small ones were useless and released.

Afraid that Lin Xiuqing would be worried, and afraid of scaring her, Ye Yaodong didn't mention anything about the drifter at sea when he came back, and he didn't buy pearl powder to eat. Powder soothes the nerves.

  But I didn't expect to have a nightmare at night. I dreamed that the face was so swollen that the facial features could not be seen, but it was clearly visible, and that face was so familiar, it was clearly his old appearance.

  He woke up from the dream in an instant and sat up directly.

  He felt that he should be thinking day by day, dreaming at night, and an unintentional association in his mind during the day actually made him have this dream. It was terrible, and he collected his own body? Let the self in the previous life bless the self in this life?

   "What's the matter?" Lin Xiuqing felt the movement beside her and sat up.

   "It's nothing, I had a nightmare."

   "What kind of nightmare? You are such an old man, yet you still react so badly when you have a nightmare." Lin Xiuqing patted him on the chest reassuringly, "It's okay, it's just a dream, go to sleep, my little sister is getting engaged tomorrow."

  Ye Yaodong grabbed her hand, "Well, go to sleep."

   "What nightmare are you having?"

   "Speaking out will scare you to death, so stop listening and go to sleep."

  At this time Ye Chengyang also turned over and moaned, Ye Yaodong quickly hugged him up, "Hey... hold you to pee..."

   After a bit of busy work, he also temporarily put the nightmare behind him, and felt a little at ease holding his wife, and couldn't help covering her lower abdomen with his hands, which was already slightly swollen when lying flat.

  Lin Xiu couldn't fall asleep immediately after waking up, "Tomorrow is the second day of junior high school, and the Chinese New Year is less than a month away. It's time for us to prepare the New Year's gift and go back to send my parents the New Year."

   "Well, okay, after my little sister gets engaged, you can see if you go before the winter solstice or after the winter solstice. It doesn't matter. I shouldn't go to sea before the year, and I'm going to rest for the New Year. I'm free."

   "It's almost the same. There may not be any weather in the future. It's almost the Chinese New Year and I'm busy. I have to wash the house and go to the market to prepare for the New Year when I return from the New Year."

   "Don't we need to wash our house? It's not long since we moved."

   "Well, our house doesn't need to be cleaned, just wipe the glass and tidy up things. The old house must be cleaned, and then I will go over and help."

   "I don't need you, just watch the children."

  In the dark night, Lin Xiuqing turned her head to look at his profile, her mouth raised. In the past six months, he has really changed a lot.

   "Adong..."

"Um?"

  Lin Xiuqing turned her body sideways, put one foot on his waist, reached out to hug his waist, and rubbed her head against his shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"nothing!"

   "It's nothing you are so active? Did you think about it?"

"No…"

  He turned his body on his side, and straightened her to lie down, "Don't press your stomach, I'll do it..."

   "Sleeping, in the middle of the night..."

  Ye Yaodong was just teasing her with his cheap talk.

  He reached into the hem of his clothes with one hand, lingered on her body, and stroked her slightly swollen belly, "How many months?"

   "You have the nerve to ask, how did you become a father without knowing it for several months?"

   "Don't you women know this kind of thing? Who would count the months all day long? I know it's my own seed, isn't it good?"

  Lin Xiuqing pinched the soft flesh on his waist, "If it's not yours, who else?"

   "Hiss~ Aren't you messing around...I even said I knew it was my own seed, but you still pinch me..."

   "Then tell me how old my stomach is?"

   "How can I guess?"

  His wife was spoiled by him, so she asked him back, but he didn't remember it.

  I thought about it in my heart, it seems that I was conceived in August of the Gregorian calendar, so now it should be, "5 months?"

   "A little over 5 months."

   "That's right, it's mine! Hiss~ it's mine~ that's right~ hiss~ let go~ let go~"

  It feels like the flesh has been rotated 90 degrees, and there are definitely two bruises on the waist. I am really spoiled by him, and I actually pinch him habitually.

  Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily, and kicked him, "Sleep! Go to bed, don't touch me!"

   "Hey...how to say you turn your face, you turn your face..."
