Chapter 7 Come and hug me, uncle
Kangzi called him to his house for breakfast, and Ye Qing didn't act pretentiously and followed him.
Their two houses are next to each other, located in the southeast corner of the island, not far from the beach. Both are two-story buildings. Unlike the mainland, most of the stairs leading to the second floor in the village are built outside.
While I was having breakfast, Uncle Ba came back and said that the vendor would not arrive until noon.
After saying that, he smoked with a depressed look on his face.
In the past, vendors would come to the dock early in the morning, hoping to get better catches at a lower price as soon as possible.
But now.
The vendors only come here every two or three days.
The reason is simple.
Because there are too few fish on the island.
One trip here is not even enough to cover the gas costs for the vendors. Over time, who would be willing to come here?
Uncle Ba said in a deep voice, "Qingzi, you have to be mentally prepared. The vendors may try to lower the price."
Ye Qing frowned.
The situation is worse than he imagined.
At this time.
Kangzi ran into the house from the yard and shouted excitedly: "The red claw crab is alive, it's actually alive."
Uncle Ba also went to see in surprise.
Previously, the father and son thought that the red claw crabs were dead and would not be able to sell for much money if they were picked up, but it was different if they were alive.
Let's just say this extra-large red-claw crab is equivalent to over a hundred flying fish.
When Ye Qing came out, they both looked at each other with complicated expressions and said in unison: "Ah Qing, Qingzi, your luck is too good to be true."
Ye Qing laughed: "Just average, third in the world."
Seeing him pretending to be cool, Kangzi immediately went up to make trouble and the two of them started fighting.
Uncle Ba smoked a cigarette and sighed, "If my luck could keep being this good, I'd have money for your father's medical treatment."
"I'm afraid this is just the aura of a novice."
Ye Qing heard this and smiled easily. If there is a so-called halo, it must be the protagonist's halo. At the very least, it must be the novice's halo that can be renewed.
Kangzi punched Ye Qing and said, "Qingzi, I think you can do it."
"come on."
Ye Qing nodded, his expression full of confidence, and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely work. I'll take you with me to show off and fly together when the time comes."
Kangzi laughed out loud.
Uncle Ba didn't say anything.
In other words, only young people regard luck as strength, while old people like them rely on experience and means, and never count on illusory luck.
Luck is destined to be temporary.
He wanted to remind Ye Qing that fishing at sea was unreliable. Just because you might get something once or twice doesn't mean you'll always get it. He still had to think of other more reliable ways to make money.
But when he thought about Ye Qing's situation, he shut up.
Because he was an old fisherman, he couldn't think of any safe way to make money.
Now, he is also at a loss.
Seeing the smile on Ye Qing's face, I felt that it was pretty good. Hope is always better than despair.
Ye Qing tied up the red-clawed crab with a rope, and then found a red plastic bag to put it in.
When Kangzi saw this, he couldn't help but shout in anguish, "What are you doing?"
"It's a complete waste of natural resources to pack red claw crabs like this."
Ye Qing scratched his head: "Ah, what's the matter?"
Kangzi nodded seriously and asked, "Are you going to the dock?"
Ye Qing nodded.
Kangzi said, "I'll go with you to the dock and help you carry the red claw crab."
Ye Qing agreed.
This red-clawed crab weighs several kilograms and it is quite difficult to carry it.
Since someone wants to be his crab-carrying brother, he is naturally happy to do so.
After Kangzi tied up the red-claw crab, he hung it directly on his chest with a net and walked in front with a proud and confident look.
Ye Qing found it funny until Kangzi realized that he was trying to show off.
There is a mountain range in the middle of Longwei Island. Legend has it that it was transformed from a dragon, so it is called Longpan Mountain.
The village where Ye Qing and his friends live is just south of the Longpan Mountains. The villagers' houses are built against the mountain and gradually extend towards the sea.
He and Kangzi's home is in the southeast corner near the sea, and the pier is in the northwest corner of the island. To get there from their home, they basically have to cross the entire village and pass by the village grocery store.
Along the way, Kangzi stole the show.
"Wow, it's a red claw crab."
"Kangzi, you are so majestic."
"Tsk tsk, the crab legs look really fat!"
Kangzi laughed and said, "I'll just help get it. It's Qingzi's."
After saying that, he strode away.
Ye Qing shouted to Kangzi, "Run slower, I'll break his leg."
Kangzi has long disappeared.
Ye Qing shrugged at the man and left with a smile.
When passing by the grocery store, Kangzi showed off enough and returned the red claw crab to Ye Qing.
The grocery store is the intelligence center of the village. Kangzi jumped onto the big stage and vividly described Ye Qing's glorious deeds of catching red-claw crabs and scaring Cai Ya into peeing his pants.
It probably won’t be long before the whole village will know about it.
By then, Cai Ya’s father will also know.
Ye Qing looked for a while, silently gave Kangzi a thumbs up, and continued walking towards the pier with the red-claw crab.
After walking about a hundred meters, an angry voice suddenly came from the alley around the corner: "Qingzi, who told you to go fishing?"
"You are totally lawless when your parents are not at home."
Ye Qing shuddered with fear.
It’s my elder sister Ye Lan.
Ye Lan got married on the island, but in another village.
As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother. He is nine years older than Ye Lan. His parents often go fishing at sea. He was actually raised by Ye Lan and is afraid of her in his heart.
His whole family didn't want him to go fishing, thinking that as a college student with a bright future, there was no need for him to risk his life to go fishing to make money.
Ye Qing slowly turned his head and looked over. At the entrance of the alley, a woman in her thirties, dressed simply, stood with her hands on her hips. Her beautiful face without makeup was full of anger.
Obviously, sister is very angry!
That consequence.
Quite serious.
Ye Qing didn't dare to answer and just ran away!
Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one.
After Feiyu sells the money, he will go to see Ye Lan with a stack of money, and he should not be beaten.
Seeing that he dared to run, Ye Lan became even more angry and shouted, "Zhang Jun, stop him!"
"If you can't stop him."
"I'll break your legs!"
As soon as the words fell.
A burly man seemed to fall from the sky and stopped in front of Ye Qing. He said with a stern face, "Ah Qing."
"Don't make things difficult for your brother-in-law."
"You also know how powerful your sister is."
My brother-in-law Zhang Jun is a big and strong man, but he is afraid of his wife and especially listens to Ye Lan.
Ye Qing used to be very naughty, but as soon as Ye Lan called out to him, her brother-in-law pushed him to the ground and beat him without saying a word.
No ambiguity, no mercy.
After the fight, they still became brothers.
Definitely a ruthless person.
Ye Qing stopped and said weakly, "I... I want to make money to pay off the loan, and also to earn enough for Dad's subsequent medical expenses."
“Who needs you to make money!”
"Your brother-in-law and I will take care of the loan and medical expenses."
"Just go and work in a big city."
Ye Lan walked over angrily and quickly, and the little girl she was holding in her right hand had to jog to barely keep up.
When Ye Qing saw his little niece Zhang Yu, he felt like he had found a lifeline and quickly called out, "Nunnun (baby), come to your uncle."
Xiao Yuer ran over obediently, hugged his legs, and shouted, "Uncle, you are sweating a lot."
Ye Qing smiled awkwardly. It wasn't because of the heat, but because he was scared.
He bent down, picked up Xiao Yuer and held her in his arms.
Xiao Yu'er tilted her head and saw the red-clawed crab, and was startled: "Hey, what an ugly crab, uncle, throw it away quickly."
Ye Lan looked over and said in surprise, "Qingzi, where did the red claw crab come from?"
Ye Qing said with a smile, "I went to the beach this morning and happened to catch a red-claw crab."
"Sister, brother-in-law, I was actually planning to send it to you to replenish your bodies."
As he spoke, he gave Zhang Jun a flattering smile.
Ye Lan snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense. Why send it home? Go sell it at the dock."
"It must be at least two or three thousand yuan."
Even though fishermen catch fish all day long, they basically don't eat such expensive seafood.
Ye Qing said, "What's the use of two or three thousand yuan?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
“Actually, I went fishing…”
When Ye Lan heard the words "going out to sea to fish", her eyebrows immediately raised and she shouted, "How dare you bring up going out to sea to fish?"
"Your skin is still itchy, isn't it?"
"Zhang Jun, beat him up!"
"Let's see if he dares to go fishing next time."
Ye Qing stepped back in fright.
Zhang Jun first took Zhang Yu down from Ye Qing's arms and handed him to Ye Lan, then he walked towards Ye Qing with his hands rubbed.
Ye Qing threw the red-claw crab at him and turned and ran.
Zhang Jun caught the red-clawed crab, sneered, and shouted, "Ah Qing, I, your brother-in-law, can fish in the sea and hunt in the mountains, and you still want to take my palm out?"
"I'll let you run for a while."
"I'll catch you later and I'll have to punch you a few more times."
Ye Qing listened and almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but he did not stop and ran even faster.
Zhang Jun hurriedly chased after him.
As they chased, Ye Qing disappeared.
Zhang Jun stopped and began to doubt his life: "Is it me who is failing, or has Ah Qing become stronger?"
After a while, Ye Lan came over with Zhang Yu and kicked Zhang Jun a few times: "Where's the person? We didn't catch up. Didn't you boast that you let Ah Qing run first?"
Zhang Jun was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
