Ye Yaodong also felt amazing when he saw his father's confused expression, which had not yet come to his senses.
This trajectory is really completely different.
"My grandfather came out when he was a teenager, why didn't he think of going back and taking a look?"
"In times of war and chaos, was it so easy to go out?"
"Too."
It was a turbulent era with invaders from foreign powers rampant, so it was only in the past two years that I didn't need a letter of introduction when I went out.
"Then will we really go there then?"
"Go and have a look. Those who can repair the ancestral hall are probably from wealthy families. Since we have been invited, there is no harm in it. You can also go to your grandfather's hometown to have a look."
"Then tell your uncle and uncle that since you are going, they must go together, but there are still two months, so we can inquire in advance."
"Um."
Father Ye was holding the shaved bamboo strips in his hand and bending them again and again, but he did not continue to weave baskets. It seemed that he was still digesting them.
The two father and son sat there blankly and thought for a while. They never thought that after their grandfather died, they could still recognize their ancestors and return to their clan? It was something they had never thought of in their entire lives.
"This... you are becoming more and more promising, but you didn't expect that you could still find your ancestors?"
Ye Yaodong opened and closed his mouth. He didn't expect it. He just got to know Ye Yaohai.
"Oh, yes, there are also overseas Chinese, maybe even from a wealthy family."
Father Ye nodded happily, "Yes, you have to go and see it."
He shook his head and said, "Let's talk in two months. Anyway, you should talk to your uncle and uncle first."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong got up and walked home again. When he went back, he told the old lady and Lin Xiuqing again. Both of them also looked confused and surprised, but the old lady might know more and accept it faster. She just said that now that
If you have a chance, you might as well go and take a look.
During lunch, their family was also discussing this matter.
"Is our family moving to the provincial capital?" Ye Chenghu looked at them in surprise.
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Who is following you and us? What does it have to do with you? Eat your food, adults talk, why do children interrupt?"
"Oh, cousin Ayuan said that he is moving to the city and will study in the city in the second half of the year. I thought we were going to move to the provincial capital."
"It's a beautiful thought."
"hey-hey."
"If you want to move to the provincial capital, you will also be moving to the mountains and valleys of the provincial capital. Do you want to go?"
Ye Chenghu hesitated and said, "Can I still come back?"
"Can't bear to stay here?"
"I like our home here."
Ye Yaodong looked gentle and said, "Let's eat."
In the next two days, they and the two families next door were discussing this matter, but when the situation changed, everyone stopped discussing it.
It had only been sunny for a few days after we came back, but suddenly the wind started blowing. Under the bright sun, there was a cool wind. The children were very happy and shouted that a typhoon was coming from morning to night.
The adults are all worried about the typhoon, but they are still looking forward to being cooler when the typhoon comes.
In the evening, when the villagers were sitting at the door chatting, they were also talking about another typhoon coming.
"There is no year without a typhoon passing by."
"It doesn't matter if there is no big typhoon. I don't know what will happen to those who stayed in Zhejiang Province?"
"My man called back in the evening and said that he didn't go to sea all day today, and it rained intermittently over there. In the past few days, there have been more boats on the sea, and the rush has been crazy. The locals are fighting for fear of being caught again.
They were all far away, so I went outside to look for it on the sea. I said it was just so-so at the end of the day, and it couldn't compare with the previous period."
"Then it's better to come back early. Now there's a typhoon and we have to rest for at least a week."
"Who says it's not the case? It's just that what I earned these days is not as good as what I earned one or two days ago."
"It's good if you can make money. At least it's better than resting at home. Now it looks like there's going to be a typhoon, so I really need to rest."
"I don't know when this typhoon will pass. Oops, the weather forecast is broadcast soon. I'll go back and listen to the weather forecast. Otherwise, it may be windy, rainy, and have power outages tomorrow. I won't have to listen to it."
One person slapped his thigh and shouted, and everyone else stood up one after another. Those who had a TV went home to watch the weather forecast. If not, they went to a nearby house to watch the weather forecast.
Ye Yaodong and his family also went back to the house to listen to the weather forecast. They waited for a while to listen to the news before it was time for the weather forecast. Sure enough, a typhoon was coming, so it became cooler today.
But the sun was still shining brightly the next day, but the waves on the beach were bigger, and the children were even happier. If they had nothing to do, they would run to the coast and pick up some seafood that had been rolled up by the waves. The adults yelled and cursed.
It was no use. After a beating and the pain subsided, I still ran away with itchy skin.
The same was true for several of his family members, who were beaten after picking up bucket after bucket.
The abnormal weather lasted for another two days, and the weather turned gloomy. The howling wind blew, but as long as it didn't rain, the children continued to run wild outside.
Everyone was still running with the wind, making ghost noises as they ran.
"I'm going to be blown away by the typhoon~"
"Look, I have my mouth open, I'm drinking the northwest wind..."
"You idiot, it's a typhoon, you're eating a typhoon..."
"Wow, I was hit by the desk fan..."
"It's so cool, so refreshing..."
"Ah! It's raining, it's raining~"
"Here comes the heavy rain. Come home quickly..."
It was raining heavily, and the rain was blown away by the wind in large swaths. All the middle-aged women ran to the door and shouted to their children, asking them to come back quickly.
It was rare for Lin Guangyuan to watch a typhoon at the beach. It was so novel that when he entered his house, he would still stand by the window and look out at the rolling waves.
"Sister-in-law, your house is really strong. It doesn't leak. There was no light rain at home during the typhoon. It's so comfortable."
Ye Chenghu was proud, "Our home is a new home. Our old home used to have water leaks and mushrooms growing everywhere when it rained."
"The waves outside are really big. They were big in the past few days. I didn't expect the waves to be bigger when the wind got stronger. It's so spectacular. Wow, it's coming down..."
There was a big wave rolling outside, and then it crashed down with a crash, turning into foam all over the floor and seafood crawling everywhere.
"Will the waves hit your house?"
"No, but fish will fall on our doorstep. Let me tell you, there were so many fish during the previous typhoon that they kept falling on our doorstep. It's amazing."
"Really?" Lin Guangyuan's eyes burst out with light, and his facial features were distorted when his head was pressed against the glass. "There are really fish. When the waves come up, there are fish jumping on the ground. Oops, can we go out?"
"No, a typhoon is starting to blow. You can't go anywhere. You can only stay at home and play with toys. Go upstairs. You can't watch TV and there's a power outage."
"All right."
No one moved, they all gathered near the window and looked at the rolling waves outside.
Ye Yaodong also sat on the table with his feet up. He couldn't do anything during the typhoon, so he could only sit in the room and wait for the typhoon to pass.
Because the sky outside was dark, the room was also dark. It was obviously still morning, but there was nothing to do at home at this time, so I didn't light any candles, so I just sat and talked.
From morning to night, the sound of wind continued to intensify, and when night fell, the sound of howling wind reached its peak.
For some reason, typhoons always make the most noise at night, but the family feels particularly at ease staying indoors, as the noise outside does not affect the inside.
Ye Xiaoxi was extremely excited in the room. He almost fell asleep and was still turning somersaults.
"Dad, it's so scary outside. Are you trying to catch ghosts again?"
Ye Yaodong's movement of lying down stopped for a moment, and then he turned to look at Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing stared back.
He chuckled and said, "I won't catch you today. I'm a little tired. Let's take a rest."
"Ah, is it tiring to catch ghosts?"
"Ghosts will suck people's yang energy. If you catch ghosts too often, your father will be sucked dry."
"What about fighting monsters?"
"Ahem, goblins will suck people's spiritual energy. Don't do it too often, as it will make you feel depressed. You should go to bed quickly."
"What are you talking about to the child?" Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him angrily, then looked at Ye Xiaoxi who looked curious, "Go to bed quickly and don't ask questions. Why are there so many questions?"
"Why are there ghosts in this world?"
"Don't talk nonsense at night."
"Why?"
"Because I have to sleep at night."
"But you sleep during the day. You and dad also slept during the day two days ago."
Ye Yaodong was worried that Ye Xiaoxi would make Lin Xiuqing angry, so he immediately covered her mouth, hugged her and lay down, "Sleep."
"I don't know why there are so many problems every day." Lin Xiuqing complained, blew out the candles, and went to bed quickly.
After Ye Xiaoxi saw that the room was completely dark, he continued to ask questions and rolled around, seemingly not wanting to sleep at all.
The couple answered a few words at first, but then they didn't bother to care about her, leaving her alone to talk to herself. After a long time, she became quiet and fell asleep.
Lin Xiuqing then sat up and covered her with a small quilt.
Ye Yaodong whispered: "When this typhoon passes, I may go to Zhejiang Province again."
"Do you really want to go?"
"Well, after this typhoon passes, the trench will probably be empty, and everyone else will probably come back, so I just happened to go there in a staggered way."
"Then there's no jellyfish fishing, so there shouldn't be any conflicts. That's okay. You can see if anyone calls after the typhoon to report the situation."
"Well, depending on what happens at night, when I wake up, the typhoon will pass tomorrow morning. It will either make landfall or move in another direction. It will take a few days for the sea to calm down. I can still rest at home for a few days."
"Today's wind seems to be quite strong. The weather forecast two days ago said it was a super typhoon..."
Ye Yaodong also heard the windows shaking and banging, "It won't land here. It will pass by at most. A super typhoon will be a super typhoon. Anyway, we can withstand it."
Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside, accompanied by the sound of things breaking and hitting the ground. The sound of the wind seemed to get louder, as if it was in their ears. He quickly sat up.
"I went out to take a look. It seems that the glass was broken?"
Lin Xiuqing sat up uneasily, lit a candle, and went out to take a look together.
As soon as the couple opened the door, they heard the howling wind outside. The candle was blown by the wind through the window, and Lin Xiuqing quickly reached out to protect it, so as not to burn it out and lose sight of anything.
The old lady also held a candle to protect her, opened the door and came out, "I seemed to hear the sound of broken glass..."
"Ah! The window is really cracked, the wind is coming in, and the rain is also coming in."
"First move the things away from the window, and you can take a photo of it for me."
There are still a lot of clutter piled up in every corner of the house. Now that the window glass is cracked, the wind is pouring in, and the rain is pouring in. I still need to clean up the clutter and move it to other places.
"There is a conch on the ground..."
Ye Yaodong also saw it and hurriedly walked over to pick it up. "It seems that the window was smashed by this conch. It seems quite dangerous to live by the sea. On a typhoon day, everything falls from the sky..."
"It's so big... Hey, it looks like a snail at home..."
He looked through it and said, "It's a snail. I picked one up on the beach two years ago, and here's another one. It looks like I'm going to make a fortune."
"Ah? This snail is not very expensive."
"This conch means fortune. It's a good sign! May you be safe!"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "Then we have become rich in the past two years because we picked up this conch two years ago? Now that we have picked up this conch, are we going to get rich again?"
"Yes, that should be it!"
"I'll slice it and fry it tomorrow. It's quite big."
The old lady said: "Go and get a bucket, fill it with water and some salt, put it in the bucket and raise it. Suddenly a snail smashes the window, and you will have to spend money to make the window tomorrow."
"It's normal for a typhoon. If there are no conches, there will be tiles and rocks. It's normal for the glass to be smashed."
The phoenix-tailed snail is the first of the four famous snails. The color and pattern are very beautiful, and the shape is like the tail of a phoenix. It has the meaning of attracting wealth. Moreover, this snail can blow a sound like a trumpet. After being placed, a single shell can be sold for dozens of dollars.
A few hundred yuan each.
The snail has very high requirements on the water environment and grows slowly. It has been upgraded to level 2 in the future. Now it is not possible to keep the shell as a souvenir.
His family already has many conch shells, including two of this snail.
After giving the conch to Lin Xiuqing to handle, he moved everything away from the corners of the window. During this period, the rain kept pouring in, and he was all wet.
The glass suddenly broke in the middle of the night, and there was no way to deal with it. I could only leave it empty and let the wind flow in. There was nothing else I could do.
Fortunately, there was no dried fish in the house, so they were all moved to the city, so there was no need to worry about getting wet.
After the busy work was finished, the couple went back to the house to continue sleeping.
Early the next morning, the wind had obviously subsided, leaving only the aftermath and light rain. The children at home got up and saw a big hole in the window downstairs, and they were all surprised.
"Why didn't I hear the sound?"
"I didn't hear it either. I didn't even hear the wind when I fell asleep last night."
"You guys are like pigs when you're asleep. You don't even know if the sky is falling."
"There are a lot of seafood on the ground outside. Let's go out and pick up seafood..." Lin Guangyuan excitedly carried the bucket and wanted to go out. "It's not raining outside anymore, and the wind has lightened up."
"It's still raining, so we can't go early in the morning. You just stay at home. If you don't obey, I will send you back to the city tomorrow."
Lin Guangyuan stopped instantly and sat honestly by the window, looking outside eagerly.
Ye Yaodong put on his raincoat and ran to the next door to call his two brothers. He went to his hometown first and only glanced at some messy seafood at the door.
When he entered the village, he was shocked. Half of the roof tiles of many houses were blown away, many windows were broken, the roofs of the pig pens were torn off, and most of the adobe walls collapsed.
Early in the morning, many families, old and young, were wearing raincoats, standing at the door in the rain, busy cleaning up, and scolding them.
Fortunately, their seaside villages are all made of stone houses. At most there may be some problems with the roofs, but the houses are solid and will not collapse.
"Was the wind so strong last night?"
"We slept quite peacefully..."
"Me too, I only felt the wind was loud, but other than that, I didn't feel it was any different from previous typhoon days."
"That's because our house was newly built and strong, so it wasn't affected much and we slept well."
Ye Yaodong only felt that the wind was loud at night. Apart from the broken window of his house, he did not feel it was so powerful. He really slept well in the second half of the night.
Everyone looked left and right along the way and felt that this time it seemed that the impact was quite serious. When we arrived at our hometown and saw two pieces of glass broken and a small part of the roof tiles flying off, we really became concerned about this typhoon.
One impression is that it is a really powerful typhoon.
"Come on, there's no need to work anymore. It's like this. It's better to take my parents away and wait until the rain stops. Then we can ask someone to come over and make glass, and then buy tiles to repair it. There's nothing we can do now."
"Well, it's still raining, so it's not convenient to do anything. Anyway, we have a room there."
Other people's houses only have one room, and they have no conditions. They have to be repaired even if it is windy or rainy. Otherwise, if it rains heavily outside, it also rains heavily inside, and there will be no way to stay anywhere.
When Father Ye and Mother Ye saw them coming, they immediately packed their things and followed them to their new home for shelter. They had a place to live anyway, and they didn't care so much about the old house. They didn't necessarily have to brave the rain to repair it like the others.
Ye Mu said as she walked: "Why is this typhoon so powerful... There was the sound of tiles being blown away and falling down everywhere in the middle of the night."
"Apart from the sound of the waves and the wind, our place is pretty good."
"Have you been to the beach? How is the boat? I didn't know beforehand that such a big typhoon was coming. I thought it was just passing by and the boat didn't go to a safe haven."
"I only saw the Dongsheng and the Harvest floating on the beach. I didn't know about the other ships. When I came over, I saw a lot of people going to the beach..."
As long as these two boats were in good condition, it didn't matter what happened to the other fishing boats. All the small wooden boats he had were sold and the trawler was still in the shipyard, so there was really nothing to worry about.
"...Where to find it...I didn't know in advance, so I just lost it..."
"The demon cultivator...the boats were all destroyed..."
The family had just passed by a few people when they heard this. Father Ye quickly grabbed the person and asked, "Whose boat was destroyed?"
"There are quite a few, and some only have pieces of wood left..."
Father Ye looked at the three brothers and said, "Let's go to the dock first."
Ye Mu was also worried that the boat would be lost, so she followed them to the dock.
There are also many people on the road going to the pier, and some coming back from the pier.
When the people who came back from the pier were walking around to spread the word, there were more people wearing raincoats outside the pier. Some of them didn't care about the rain in their houses and hurriedly ran out, fearing that something might happen to the fishing boat. This was
The guy who eats.
Before reaching the pier, everyone saw a lot of wood debris floating all over the beach, as well as some wood chips.
Everyone was concerned about their own boat, looking for their own boat. They were relieved when they saw their own boat docked there. Some started to curse when they didn't see it, and continued to run forward impatiently, wanting to take a closer look.
a little.
There were already women at the pier crying and screaming.
"I just bought it and I haven't even been out to sea for two days. I was hit by a wave and was hit by a thousand cuts. How can I be so unlucky..."
"Damn it, there are typhoons every year, how can we survive? The roof is gone, the boat is gone..."
Ye Yaodong felt relieved when he saw that all his fishing boats were in good condition. When he heard other people crying, he also went to look for the small wooden boats he had sold, and found that they were really missing...
That’s really sad. It’s only been a few days since I got it, and I’ve only been out to sea a few times...
"Ah? Adong? Oops, the boat we just bought was destroyed by a typhoon..."
"The other boats are fine, how come your boat was destroyed? Is the rope not tied properly?"
"How is this possible..."
"Then I have to ask you, why are you gone when others are fine?"
As soon as I pulled him to talk, he knew that he definitely wanted to ask him to make compensation or something like that.
What does this have to do with him? Are you still thinking about it for 7 days without any reason?
He has been selling for several days, so can natural disasters be blamed on him?
Ye Mu also immediately said: "I knew there was a typhoon a few days ago, but you didn't know to pay attention, and you didn't come out more often to take a look. Take a look, okay, now that the boat is gone, what can I do to Dongzi? Sell it.
It's yours now, you didn't think much of it."
The other party grumbled, "After all, I just bought this and it's gone..."
"You also said you bought it, so what does that have to do with us?" Mother Ye replied, then she took the others and left, "Let's go back, just take a look at it and it will be fine."
Everyone also walked back together.
There was no one around, so Mother Ye said, "Fortunately, your boat sold quickly!"
Ye Yaopeng said: "I don't know what it will be like when there is a typhoon in Zhejiang Province..."
"As long as they don't go out and run around, they will be fine."
Ye Yaodong thought about how that old house was damaged by the typhoon. After the typhoon passed, he really had to go and take a look.
After the typhoon, the rain continued to fall. It was not until the afternoon that the rain became lighter and the wind sound completely disappeared. Some children ran out to play happily and picked up things all over the shore. There were no adults worried at all.
And they also heard at the door that the people who were still fishing for jellyfish over there in Zhejiang Province had lost several small boats, and even the old boats were smashed to pieces. They heard that the extent of the impact there was greater than here.
.
Some locals were wary of fishing boat accidents and wanted to take the boat to a safe haven, but it was destroyed by a typhoon halfway.
Everyone at the door was trembling with fear as they listened to the news spread throughout the village. Some family members went directly to the village committee to guard the village, waiting for a call from there at any time to report the news.
"I don't know if there are any injuries in our village..."
"It's a small thing if the boat is gone, but it's a big deal if the people are gone..."
"Oh, if I had known that, I should have followed them back earlier. I shouldn't have thought about making more money and staying there..."
"Yes, we didn't have to salvage for a few more days before another typhoon came. There have been a lot of typhoons in the past two or three months..."
"What can I do if I don't make any money? Who called me before and said it?"
Ye Mu went out for a walk and came back. Everyone in the family knew about the rumors outside.
"It's a good thing you're back, otherwise the whole family would be worried."
"Going to sea is inherently dangerous, and those people are also unlucky when they are out in the field. Everything happens to them..."
"I guess they will come back soon after the typhoon."
Ye Yaodong's determination was not wrong. The next day, there was a rumor in the village that those people would be back soon after Feng Ping Lang.
I didn't make much money, I was jailed, I was hit by typhoons, I was ostracized by the locals, all natural and man-made disasters were taken away.
Ye's mother stayed there during the meal and said: "I heard that two of the boats in Aguo were destroyed, and there are still three left. It is said that the earnings from this trip may only be enough for the capital. It's a waste of time. Fortunately, your eldest brother, the second one,
Brother is back."
"They still owe Ah Sheng the money to redeem his life," Ye's father said.
"Then there was still a lot of commotion when we came back. Fortunately, it's our own brothers. It's none of outsiders' business. They can figure it out on their own."
Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong again, "When they come back, settle the unsettled accounts. You can go over after settling the accounts."
"What? Where did you go? Are you still going there? What were you doing over there? Everyone is back, why are you running over there?" Mother Ye's eyes widened and she stared at Ye Yaodong in surprise.
Ye Yaodong ignored his mother and only said to his father: "Of course, I have to wait for them to come back. Once I understand the situation, I will go over and settle the accounts. If they can't get the money, then they will get the monthly dividends."
Button inside.”
"You really want to go there? Why are you going there?"
"We went fishing, what else could we do?"
"Then everyone else has returned, and you are the only one left to go over there. How dangerous is that? No matter how much money those sea urchins make, their lives are not as important."
"Without those people, maybe I would be safer alone."
There are no large groups of people, and the number of people is also decreasing during the flood season, so the relative danger is naturally less.
And if he goes again, he will definitely go to the urban area. There are many fishing boats docking in the urban area. As long as there are not a large group of people, the foreign boats are not so conspicuous.
Lin Xiuqing was a little confused, "Then we'd better wait for those people to come back and ask around before going there. It's only mid-August now, and the flood season lasts until October. It's just a series of natural and man-made disasters. Everyone can't stand it, and some people want to come back.
, the rest of the people don’t want to stay either.”
"That's what I originally thought. Since everyone said they were coming back, I would definitely wait until they come back."
The old lady sighed, "Dongzi has grown up and has big ideas. He is truly the head of the family."
Ye Chenghu whispered softly, "Isn't it mother?"
Ye Yaodong glared over.
"This is what you said...whatever my mother asked you to do, you will do..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."
I'm a bit stuck, so I'm a little late today
