Fields of Gold

Chapter 9: Full Load and Return

Yu Xiaograss touched her nose, indicating that inland girls did not understand the dangers of the ocean. A bright, milky white, crystal-like “mushroom” is lethal. It's up!

“Wow!” The two brothers and sisters heard water coming from not far away, and they turned their heads and happened to see Yuhai drilling out of the sea. He did not wear a shirt and revealed a slender, firm chest.

“Grass, look what Dad got!!” Yuhai opened his mouth and revealed his white teeth, darkening his face. But it smells black. It smells like a man!

Little rock “ow” rushed over, yelling: "It's abalone!! Dad, you touched the abalone! ”

Little grass hurried over curiously. Only four or five dark green brown shellfish, each more than a dozen centimeters long, were found in the palms of Yuhai. This seemingly obnoxious thing, is it a rather sought after abalone?

“Such a big abalone, it takes at least a few hundred words to get one in town. Daddy grabbed nine, sold them to the liquor store, two, three taels of silver should be there!” Yu Xiaolian also came together and shouted with surprise.

Two, three, two, silver? At the price of grass, two or three taels of silver can buy three or four hundred kilos of first-class rice, 100 kilos of first-class pork, 70 or 80 fat live chickens... Their family's food rations for more than a dozen people a year are like two or three taels.

The nutritional value of abalone, Yu Xiaowei still knows. The plan was to use abalone to replenish the family because the value of abalone had been disrupted.

According to her knowledge of the cheap grandmother, whoever proposes to eat abalone can tear you apart alive! If you take it home, beat the dog with absolute meat buns - there is no return!!

Yu Xiaograss's eyeballs turned around and kissed her chilly, “Dad, are these for me? ”

Yuhai hesitated for a moment and nodded: “I said it from the beginning. If you find abalone, I'll make it up to you and your mother. You're lucky today, if you can't finish your meal, eat slowly after you dry. ”

Yuhang and Yu Xiaolian siblings looked at each other with a distrustful look. They already knew what their father was like: letting go of his grievances, never refuting Zhang's demands, even if they were unreasonable.

Five-year-old pebbles know that they can't even touch the side of the abalone and eat it slowly!

Yuhai was embarrassed to be seen by the children, pretending to cough twice, bending over and carefully putting the abalone in the bucket.

Yu Xiaograss's eyes turned and said: "Dad! Leave these abalone to me. ”

Yu HaiEr said nothing and stuffed the abalone worth two or three taels into her daughter's hands. He stood up and looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early. It's a good day. Go home! ”

Yu Xiaograss poured the seafood in his basket into Dad's big wooden barrel and carefully placed the abalone in it. She looked around, ran near the cliff, picked up some sea belts and sea cabbage, and covered the abalone tightly and firmly.

What a great day! Yuhai was carrying a barrel as tall as a rock, full of seafood. Yuhang and Xiaolian have also gained a lot. Even a small basket of rocks filled with seafood.

On the way back, the familiar villages greeted with envy: "The sea is still capable, it's later than us, but it has more to gain! ”

“Brother Hai, you have 20 or 30 pounds of sea red, you can definitely get three or five pounds out of it. Big Brother Hai has never fallen behind! Any tips? Teach me!” It's a young man, 25 or 6 years old, short pier, long and square, black.

Villagers rush to sea, and in order to have disputes, they all have their own fixed places. How much is gained is due to luck. Yu Hai was different, but he hasn't rushed the sea many times, but he came back full loaded.

How many people in the village wanted to learn this from him, but it prevented them from speaking in disgrace. After all, it's the way to eat. Don't you learn to take food from people's mouths? Li Zhongzi and Yu Hailian Iron, someone else has already turned their face!

“Uncle Plug, there are a lot of reefs on the side of the cliff. You can come and see them when the tide is down!” Yuhang knew that Li Zhongzi was Dad's ironiest brother and didn't hide it from him. But he left his hand untold when he rushed to Hayford.

Li Zhongzi looked at the villagers surrounded by ears, laughing out loud: “Sha, do you think we're all like your father, climbing the rocks, going up and down the mountain, not vague? Uncle Liu is out there! Your uncle wants to live a few more years! ”

Sister-in-law Yangfan came with her daughter and asked, "Ocean, where's your daughter-in-law? ”

“She's not feeling well today, she's resting at home! How's Sail's leg?” Li Yangfan, another good brother of Yuhai, returned home from a storm the other day, the boat hit a shore reef, injured his leg and was resting at home.

Sister-in-law Yangfan asked Liu Twilight's body with concern and said: "It's okay, his leg is just a skin trauma, it's just that the boat at home didn't hit lightly. Ocean, you have to help me see if I can fix this. ”

The nearby fishing villages know that Yuhai is a capable man, and when it comes to sea-fishing, three or five people are not as good as him. Far from it, in the spring of this year, the old family dragged back a shark, not to mention two or three hundred kilos, and the fins alone sold several taels of silver. Not that the villagers are flat, there is no sea left, neither Yu nor his stepson can feed the sharks enough, let alone hunt the sharks.

In addition to fishing and hunting skills, Yuhai had no master in repairing the boat, and there was little trouble with the size of the fishing boat in general. This is also one of the reasons why Dongshan Village has so many eyes on him, but dares not offend him by only saying gossip behind his back.

“All right, I'll come down from the mountain tomorrow, I'll check it out! Sister-in-law Yang Fan, this is horse tooth meat, Brother Yang Fan just this sip, you bring some wine to him.” The little stone basket is filled with knocked down horse tooth meat, and Yuhai gives generously to each other if he doesn't want to.

Sister-in-law Yangfan shook her head with a smile and looked at the quiet grass. "Save it for the children! Grass, are you feeling better? Still got a headache? ”

Yu Xiaoxue smiled politely at her and responded: “It doesn't hurt, Grandpa You said you can remove the gauze in two days. ”

Yuhai chilled with them again and took the children home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter-in-law, who was supposed to be resting in the house, heading from the kitchen to the outside for dinner, and his face was filled with clouds.

“Yo, we got a lot of good stuff in the ocean today. Tomorrow we'll have a mouthful of luck!” Behind them came the sound of Lee's hen being pinched around her neck.

Yu Xiaolian had to throw the bucket to the ground and step into the door with one foot. “Grandma, didn't you say you were cooking at home? You haven't come back yet. You don't want to eat for everyone, do you? ”

Li Shi gave her a glance and didn't put this little girl in her eyes. She left her mouth open: “If people pretend to be sick and lazy, I can't go out? Why are you speaking? Be careful not to marry! ”
