Chapter 267 The Hair on the Hair Stands on End

Ye Yaodong listened to the random talk in his ears and stood for a while. There was no movement for a long time. He felt that it was a waste of time. When he was about to leave, he saw the heads of people in front of him shaking, accompanied by the noise coming from the crowd.

"Coming, coming, coming out..."

The villagers on the three floors outside were all excited. It felt as if some big leader was coming. They all stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks, trying to see the true face of Mount Lu.

The crowd also moved out of the way, and Ye Yaodong could clearly see the smiles on the faces of the village committee members, and his cousin-in-law also came out with a smile.

It seems that there is nothing unpleasant, and it feels like we are having a good time talking?

"Okay, there's no need to send it away again. Once we get to know each other better, we'll come to your door again..."

Secretary Chen also smiled and said: "The selection of households worth 10,000 yuan is a big deal. You must understand it clearly. Don't worry. When the county understands it clearly, there will definitely be a commendation meeting..."

Sister-in-law Ye Datang nodded desperately with a smile on her face, "Hey, okay, okay... It's my fault that I, a village woman, don't know much about men outside. I only know that he has made a lot of money doing business. He should be back in a few days. By then, I'll go tell the secretary..."

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

Ye Yaodong touched his chin. His cousin-in-law probably didn't know anything about this situation, so it was difficult for these county leaders to determine it directly. They probably had to find out and wait for his cousin to come back before making another trip.

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 didn't see enough of the excitement.

Ye Yaodong waited until they were far away before walking towards his hall sister-in-law. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he saw a group of women had gathered around her. They were all asking when she would be in the newspaper or on TV. ? Can they invest any more money in the business?

The corners of his mouth twitched and he stopped.

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

Since I just said that people will come back in a few days, we will know how it will develop in a few days.

He changed direction and walked directly to the side road, heading towards his hometown.

Ye Mu was beating quilts at the door. The door was propped up with bamboo poles and a pile of quilts and clothes were hanging out to dry.

His little sister seemed to have just washed her hair and was wiping her hair with a towel at the door. There was a stool and a basin of water next to her.

The old lady couldn't sit still. Her father was cutting bamboo strips nearby, and she was also weaving bamboo baskets there.

"It's quite comfortable, everyone is basking in the sun."

"Dongzi is here, come here and sit here and bask in the sun." The old lady happily greeted him to sit next to her.

Ye Mu also asked curiously at this time: "Dongzi, did you hear on the way that the county leader went to the countryside to your cousin's house when you just came here? I heard that his family has a household worth ten thousand yuan, and how did I hear that? And what about you, why did you say you went to your house?"

"I had been washing clothes at the back door just now and didn't know it. When I came out to dry the clothes, I heard the neighbors talking about it. What's going on?"

Ye Yaodong used his own excuses again. Of course, he still said that the village committee had got the name wrong, so he went to his house. Later, his cousin-in-law jumped out and went to Ye Yaohong's house as a matter of course.

"It's a pity. If you were a householder worth ten thousand yuan, you would be in the newspaper. I don't know what kind of rewards are there? It's so much easier for them. They are so rich, and there are rewards..."

He nodded casually and refused to answer the mother's words. He turned to look at his father and said, "Let's take a look in the afternoon. If there are no storms, make preparations and go to sea at night."

Father Ye nodded.

Ye Huimei next to her also said excitedly: "It just so happens that the weather is good today. It has been rainy for so many days and it has finally cleared up. The weather should be good tomorrow too. Mom, 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 slapped the quilt with a stick and said, "Fortunately it's sunny, otherwise we still 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.

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

"Whatever!"

Ye Yaodong actually just said it, but he still didn't trust them when they went to sea at night.

After hanging up the bait and lowering the hooks, he dragged a net near the island before dawn. After it was completely light, he collected the winching gear. Then he gave the goods to his father to sort out, and he took the boat to the oarfish island. Drive away.

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

It was around 7 o'clock when the fishing boat docked, and the tide began to ebb at 6 o'clock. At this time, the water level was quite high in some places. Ye Yaodong circled around the island and stopped around a low reef.

Then he helped his mother and little sister carefully get off the boat and climb onto the rocks.

There were dense vegetables growing on the rocks, and some spicy snails were attached to them. As soon as Ye Huimei stood on it, she happily bent down to pick them up, but she happened to take aim at the one with a particularly big head.

The snail meat adhered to it with great force. She pulled it out hard, her body swayed and she almost fell. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong held her back by the collar and stabilized her.

He said sternly: "Why are you in such a hurry? We are the only ones on the entire island, and you are still afraid of not being able to dig it out? As soon as you stepped on it, before you could stand firm, you stretched out your hand, and you didn't know how to be careful. There are sharp rocks on the bottom. Spat and all kinds of shelled ones, if they fall down and hit the back of the head, what will you do?"

Ye Huimei had never seen him so stern before, and she was really frightened, and she felt so guilty that she didn't dare to say a word.

Ye Mu also scolded: "You are so old, but you still don't know how to be careful. The wind is so strong that it can blow you down. You won't be able to dig again next time."

Ye Huimei lowered her head in grievance, "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 where there is a little bit of sand in front is a bit shallow. It's not easy to get to the shore. I can only stop here. First. Let’s get off the rock before we talk.”

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

The area of ​​​​the beach exposed underneath is 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 still on the beach, Ye Yaodong saw the sea water washing in front of them, and there was a big octopus rising and falling with the waves.

He trotted up and clamped it with a pair of pokers to prevent it from being washed away by the sea water, and then he bent down and grabbed it.

The flailing tentacles instantly wrapped his arm tightly, and the slippery touch and tight adhesion made people feel sick. After he caught it, he walked back.

Ye Mu said happily: "Dongzi reacted quickly and caught a big red seal in one go. This one is quite big."

Ye Yaodong used both hands to grab it from his hand 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.

"Let's start, let's start. Be careful, don't climb up and down. Dig out the good stuff first, especially Comrade Ye Huimei. If something goes wrong, I won't bring you back again."

After Ye Huimei recovered, she was no longer afraid of him, and snorted twice, "Next time, you won't bring me here either."

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

"Humph, 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 and said, "The days have been set. If you two or three of you don't have any objections, why don't you get married quickly to save trouble? If you don't stay in college, you will become enemies if you stay or stay! Do you understand?"

"Get out of here and drag your net."

"I'm not going. I'm going to watch you today."

Looking at his little sister's frizzy look, he and his father had better keep a close eye on her. It was just a waste of a day, and he didn't miss the day, so he wouldn't be in trouble.

"Aren't you going to trawl the net?" Ye Mu had just used a flat-blade screwdriver to pry off the two small abalones (small pot lids) when she heard that he couldn't stop talking and asked quickly.

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

"That's okay. If there are more people, we can dig more and save more for the New Year. Then fewer and fewer people will go to sea."

Father Ye didn't have any objection, he was still working. He took the sack and started working immediately.

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

As usual, he followed his personal habits and searched around for a while before finding a good location. He first dug out the location where there were many small abalones (small pot lids).

There are many people, and time flies by just chatting. However, there is wind from all sides on the isolated island, and the sea breeze is particularly strong, blowing cold and cold everywhere.

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

Glancing at the other three people who were digging vigorously, they all had their backs to the howling northwest wind.

I feel like I need to ask his wife to make a few more masks when I get back. I can just grab a piece of cloth and sew it, just enough to cover my face. Otherwise, it will be too uncomfortable to blow on my face like this.

To be honest, his skin is quite tender now. It would be better if he could keep it and not be blown away by the sea breeze.

His head kept spinning, but the movements of his hands were not slow either.

After digging out a large piece of small abalone (small pot lid) in front of him, he was too lazy to waste time looking around. He then picked up the spicy snails, flower snails, cat's eye snails, bergamot, etc. that were adsorbed on it. He planned to go back and pick slowly after digging.

In addition to Dancai, sea melon seeds and spat, everyone else is welcome.

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

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

There were already two bags placed on the open space next to him. He turned around and looked at it. His father and mother were holding empty bags now. They dug these two bags.

Sure enough, the old ones are still hotter, and they are still faster.

He then picked up another empty bag and unfolded it as he walked, taking a look at where the tide had receded in front of him.

However, with just one glance, his eyes widened in shock, his eyes tightened, his heart thumped, and the hairs on his hands stood up.

No...

This kind of thing happened to him...
