After borrowing a newspaper in the commune to read, he was only slightly surprised and then returned to normal.
"It turns out that there really was an earthquake the night before yesterday, and there were two more. The legend of the earthquake fish is true..." Secretary Chen on the side had just finished reading the newspaper.
"Yes, fortunately, our place was not affected. A 5.7-magnitude wave occurred on the sea surface of the Bay Strait, triggering a tsunami. A 4.1-magnitude wave also occurred in the southern part of the bay at the same time. Fortunately, it was during the day."
"I don't know when the tsunami will calm down. You wait until the waves are gone before going out. I heard that you took risks when there was a typhoon."
"Ah ha... I only went there once. If I don't go, haha... lives are important."
Secretary Chen nodded and said with a smile: "When did you know the characters? I thought you couldn't understand them."
"I've been taking literacy classes for a month or so, and I know a little bit about it. I can even make guesses and understand it."
"It's easier to recognize some words. I still have some old newspapers here. Do you want to take them back?"
"Okay." It's just a good time to learn about what happened in the past. "Secretary Chen, can you also order a newspaper for me?"
"Okay, let the postman deliver it directly to your home when the time comes."
"Thank you very much."
Ye Yaodong came out of the commune with a pile of newspapers in his hands and went straight home.
I met my eldest nephew at the door of my house and was teased by this guy.
"Third uncle, why are you bringing so many newspapers? Do you want to use them to light the fire?"
"Can't it just be watching?"
"Fuck...this is impossible...you can read the newspaper and I can get 100 points on the test."
"You've passed the exam first and then you laugh at me. Maybe you don't know as many words as I do."
"How is that possible? Don't be ridiculous, I am better than you even if I fail the exam every day."
"As expected, you failed the exam." Ye Yaodong smiled dryly and patted his head. "Sister-in-law, Ah Hai said that he has never passed the exam. He used a red pen to change his scores every day."
"Damn it... Third uncle, you tricked me!"
Ye Chenghai's eyes widened in horror and he immediately jumped away from him, and couldn't help but glance towards the door.
As a result, before I saw anyone, I heard his mother yelling at Ye Chenghai...
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Ye Chenghai shook his body and looked around, wondering where to hide?
Before I could think about it, I saw his mother rushing out of the house with a whip in her hand, crackling: "I asked you why you suddenly took the exam two days ago@
"
"No, isn't this telling the truth?"
"Come here, teach me how to read, elementary school graduate."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, deliberately saying, "Don't stop me from cooking lunch. Go watch the kids."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the two boys who were squatting there, turning the tortoise over and poking the tortoise's belly. He ignored them and sat down at the table to read.
When he saw a word he didn't recognize, he drew a circle with a pencil, planning to ask his wife later.
As soon as Lin Xiuqing finished burning the fire, she turned around and saw him reading a newspaper and turning a pen. He was so serious and studious that she almost was shocked. She had never seen him look serious and focused!
It's really strange...
Thinking that he was pretending, she ran up to take a look, but she saw many circles drawn on the newspaper and her waist was hugged.
"What is this word..."
Lin Xiuqing lowered her head to see that he seemed to be really asking for advice, and she quickly told him gently.
The couple was learning and teaching, and they complemented each other perfectly. They even almost forgot to cook lunch. It was only when the two sons complained that they were hungry that Lin Xiuqing came to her senses.
"Dad, are you really going to go to college?"
"Damn, don't talk nonsense. I only know a few words about your father. Don't go out and say it, it will make others laugh..."
This guy doesn't keep his mouth shut. If he goes out and makes noises, he will really be laughed to death and lose all his face.
"Oh, the mother also said that you want to take the college entrance examination."
"She was joking with your father. Go play with your bastard. If you go out and talk nonsense, I will stew it."
"Cut~"
I feel more and more that my eldest son is annoying!
The wind and waves subsided a little in the evening, but few people went out to sea at night.
After waiting for another day, the sky was still clear, and people started to go out to sea to release cages and nets.
Ye Yaodong also went to take back the row hooks and sticky nets that had been repaired. He asked some elderly women in the village to do these scattered troublesome tasks, which could also increase people's income and save himself trouble.
He went to Ah Cai to order about 100 kilograms of miscellaneous fish and shrimps. After everything was ready, he went to his father to tell him about going out to sea at night, but his mother excitedly said that she wanted to go too!
"It happens to be fifteen tomorrow. There is a strong tide. I will go with you. You put me on an isolated island and I will go shopping for some seafood. Pick me up when you return."
Ye Yaodong frowned in disapproval: "No, how unsafe is it for you to stay alone on an island?"
"Then I'll call some of your aunts."
"Fuck, mother, do you think this is a market?"
"Didn't you say it's not safe? There are so many people and I have a companion. Anyway, I'm looking for some worthless seafood and ask your aunts to get some back. There are starfish picking up around the pier. There have been no shellfish for a long time. , I want to catch some oysters, but I don’t have any sea melon seeds. I just want to get some more and eat them slowly. Just find a higher and safer island and put us down. It won’t affect your ability to set the net."
"Let's go when spring begins. It's so cold in this cold weather and we have to go to the island to enjoy the wind..."
"I can't even open the pot at home, there's nothing to eat, and it's still cold. Why is it cold? It's just a good time to prepare more and dry some New Year's goods in advance while the weather is good. You don't have to go to sea in the cold weather. If you have a few more days off in the first month, you won't have to worry about not having anything to eat. Otherwise Where will we go then? Just eat food?"
His mother has thought carefully about it, what should she tell him? This is his mother!
It happened that the island where the oarfish was found some time ago seems to be quite high. When the tide recedes to the bottom, the exposed part should be larger, and a small beach should be exposed. The waves cannot hit the reef, so be careful. , it should be fine.
He reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then don't call so many people. If something happens, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
"Don't worry. I'll just call you aunt, second aunt, and third aunt. I won't call you the others for now. We will be careful. It's not like a young girl is ignorant."
"Only two, no.
However, there are too many people, it is difficult to put the network, and there is not enough space. "
"You can just put us on an isolated island, and it won't affect your ability to release the net."
"That's not OK!"
"Okay then, let's call you eldest aunt and second aunt! I'll call you third aunt next time."
Middle-aged women are really difficult to deal with, and they are still old ladies, so troublesome.
But you can’t just bring your brothers and not my mother.
He had a headache, but luckily his grandparents gave birth to little children, just his eldest aunt, second aunt, and his father and three brothers.
He has so many relatives...
"Okay, just you guys, agree in advance that if you call anyone else, you don't have to go."
He had to give his mother a vaccination in advance, otherwise all her seven aunts and eight aunts would be vaccinated.
"Oh, don't worry. I know that if there are too many people, you will have to dig out less."
Ye Huimei looked on with envy, "Third brother, can I go too?"
"Why are you joining in the fun? You're going to get married soon. Just stay at home. Going to sea is no joke."
Mother Ye also glared at her, "What do you want? Just stay at home. If you have free time, go to your third sister-in-law's house to look after the children and help her make clothes and quilts. Don't stay at home and be a hands-off shopkeeper. I don't know. You still thought your third sister-in-law was getting married?"
"I'm going because I'm getting married. Otherwise, when I get married, I won't have to be like my third sister-in-law, who either gives birth to a child or takes care of the child. How would I have the chance to go fishing? Third brother... just take me with you... …”
"No, you've already been there once, why are you going there? Are you addicted to playing?"
"Who said you can't go again after you've been there? Just take me there again?" Ye Huimei pulled his sleeve pitifully, "Third brother, I know you are the best, please..."
"Go, go, stay out of the way..."
Ye Huimei glared at him, then turned to pull her sleeves towards his father, "Dad, just let the third brother take me there. Don't let the wealth go to others. If there is any treasure, we can't pick it up ourselves." "
"Ah this..." Father Ye's hand holding the hookah paused, "How can there be treasures for you to pick up every day?"
"There is no baby there. I also want to play. People on the beach have never been to the sea many times. How can they be called beach people? I'm about to get married. Dad~ let me be my mother's companion. It's just right~ Dad~ let me Go ahead, okay? Dad~"
He kept tugging at the hem of his clothes, and kept calling her daddy softly. No old father could resist this, and he couldn't even smoke.
"Well, Dongzi, why don't you take your little sister with you? Let her go play for a while. The oarfish island we went to last time seemed quite safe. The terrain looked high and the rocks were not steep. And short."
"Third brother~"
Ye Yaodong glared at Ye Huimei and saw her smiling at him to please him, and could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, then you can keep me company, and Auntie won't take me with you."
"Ah, why don't you call your aunt?"
"Why are you calling so much? Are you going to the sea market?"
"That...okay then."
