After confirming the boat was secured, Ye Yaodong finally relaxed. He leisurely headed home, but halfway there he suddenly remembered that construction on the house would begin tomorrow. He immediately changed direction and headed toward the building site instead. Today it was his second brother’s turn to go out to sea with their father. His eldest brother had stayed home. Early this morning, after breakfast, he had already said he was going up the mountain to haul yellow clay. Who knew…-

Ye Yaodong looked helplessly at the old granny. “Grandma, I’m already grown up, not a little kid anymore. Don’t secretly take eggs for me next time. If my mother finds out, she’ll skin me alive.” “It’s alright. If you don’t tell her, she won’t know. Go out and play for a while, eat it before you come back.” Sigh. In the old lady’s eyes, he was still a child. “Go on, go on, hurry and go play. Don’t stand at the doorway.” Under her urging, he could only head…

Ye Yaodong hurried over to A’Guang’s house again. From far away, he could already smell the fragrance of steamed crabs. The moment he stepped through the doorway, everyone immediately started shouting: “You finally made it. If you were any later, you’d only be washing dishes.” “Come, come, sit down. We specially saved that nine-section shrimp for you…” “You came so late, punish yourself with three cups first!” “Punish my ass. There’s only this little wine altogether.…

After chatting with everyone for a while, Ye Yaodong only stood up and patted his backside when it was almost four o’clock. “I’m going to the dock to help sort the catch. You guys handle the seafood. I’ll come back after the catch is divided.” A’Guang looked at him in surprise. “You really became sensible?” “Get lost!” He widened his stride and hurried toward the dock. At this hour, the tide had already risen along the shore, so the fishing boats should be almost…

The sun at two or three in the afternoon was still scorching. Ye Yaodong tried to walk wherever there was shade. Fortunately, A’Guang’s house was at the foot of the back hill, surrounded by trees, so it was fairly cool. When he arrived, the others were playing cards under the tree by the doorway as usual. Only A’Guang was lying in a recliner enjoying the shade. “Why are you lying there alone instead of playing with them?” “My luck’s this bad today. What’s there to play? Not playing…

When Lin Xiuqing heard the commotion from the backyard after returning home, she hurried over. Her husband was far too unreliable. She really couldn’t relax. But the moment she stepped into the backyard, she saw how bedraggled he looked and quickly spoke up, worried he might lose his temper and hit his nephew. “I’ll wash the boys. Go wash yourself.” “You finally came back. I was about to be tortured to death by them.” Ye Yaodong stood up gloomily and immediately pulled off his…

As the men walked back, the women on the beach were still digging away, and the children were still playing around happily. None of them seemed hungry. Every child was covered in sand and sweat, yet still grinning from ear to ear. The Ye family kids had even dug a giant pit and buried the youngest, Ye Chengyang, inside it, leaving only his shoulders exposed. If Ye Yaodong had arrived any later, only the boy’s head would probably have been sticking out. He frowned. “You little brats…

Ye Yaodong carried his bucket back toward the shallow waters and shouted to the others as he approached. “Any catches, you guys?” “Does one moon snail count?” A’Guang looked utterly depressed. “Better than nothing.” Ye Yaodong walked over and returned the bucket to him. “It’s so empty I’m embarrassed to even carry such a big bucket.” “Hahahaha!” Even Ye Yaodong found it funny. “It’s alright. Just change your name when you get back!” “Ah……

“Whoa, this fish is slippery as hell!” Ye Yaodong had just poked it out from under the rock and reached to grab it, only for it to dart away and slip right back underneath. The rock was too large to move, so he could only keep jabbing the fire tongs into the gap to force it back out again. A’Guang squatted down beside him, holding out his bucket toward the crack beneath the rock. “My bucket’s empty anyway. Borrow it first and catch the fish.” Seeing the completely empty bucket,…

In just a short while, Ye Yaodong had already found five rock crabs, six or seven sword shrimp, and a few mudskippers. The best catch so far was still that large kuruma prawn. He continued wandering around the shallow pools nearby when suddenly— “Ah! Snow clams! Holy crap, it’s a whole nest!” Nearsighted people were rare in this era. Especially for someone like him who never studied, his eyesight was excellent. From quite a distance away, he spotted several snow clams on the sand…
