Chapter 84: Encounter with Ex-husband
The sun at the beach in June was scorching hot. The gravel and stones were steaming under the sunlight. Before the few people had taken a few steps, hot sweat kept pouring down their bodies and Ye Dong's face was sunburned red.
Even though the weather is scorching hot, it can't stop Ye Dong from going on a boat for sea fishing!
If he is asked to go to the fields to harvest vegetables and rice, he will just refuse, give in, and hesitate. How tiring is farming?
In the past, when our family was poor, we would go to the fields early to plant seedlings. The weather was not hot at that time, and it was just a little tiring to bend down, but it was bearable.
But! He hated harvesting rice!
The weather was hot and stuffy, and people had to bend over to work in the rice fields. The rice ears pricked their skin, which was painful and itchy. After harvesting the rice, they had to use an old-fashioned pedal machine to thresh the rice, and then turn it over and dry it in the sun...
At that time, there was little labor in the family and machines were not popular, so almost everything was done manually. Every time it was time to harvest rice, I wanted to collapse there, I was so tired that I wanted to hang myself!
Even if he has a problem with his legs, how can a farmer not work?
But it’s different now!
People are like this. When they are playing, they race against time and are full of energy. If their bodies can't take it anymore, sleeping would be unnecessary.
Don’t say that now it’s just a little bit of sun, a little bit of hot weather, a little bit of thirst, sea fishing! Ye Dong felt that he could bear it.
It seems that most men cannot escape the joy of fishing. Not to mention anything else, even Grandpa Ye, an elderly man in the Ye family, likes to use a dip net to catch fish!
Shanbei Village has a natural geographical advantage. A big river is not far away, the water quality is good and the fish are fresh. Many people drive their cars and bring tools to the river to go fishing.
Grandpa Ye used to make his own fishing rod. He was reluctant to spend money, so he picked a thin bamboo and cut it carefully. No fishing line? He found a thin mesh and an embroidery needle that Grandma Ye used to sew clothes, roasted it over fire to make a curved hook, strung fat earthworms on it, and the fishing rod was ready.
He secretly found a corner by the river and didn't get close to other people. The old man was afraid of losing face.
When she had nothing to do, she would fish from morning till night, and she was very determined. Maybe her tools were too simple, so she didn't catch any fish, but Grandma Ye's crochet hooks were worn out a lot.
In the end, we had no choice but to give in. There wasn't much in our countryside except for a lot of land. The old man drew water from the small river left over from the mountain and dug a small pond. He put some small fish fry in it every year and fed them some aquatic plants from time to time. When he released the water and went fishing during the Chinese New Year, he would still catch a big fish.
Hey! We can't catch them, but we can fish them out!
This can be considered as a disguised way of satisfying Grandpa Ye’s hobby of fishing!
Grandpa Ye is busy with his small fish pond. It’s hard to tell whether Father Ye and Uncle Ye like fishing or not, but this hobby has been passed down to Ye Dong.
The stinky fish basket seemed to be perfectly copied. When he went fishing with his friends, no matter how bad others were, they could catch one or two fish, but he didn't even see the shadow of a fish.
Grandpa Ye is busy with the small fish pond. He is more promising than his grandfather and he is interested in marine aquaculture.
Ye Zhen didn’t know what Ye Dong was thinking. She only knew that it was so hot and sunny that she felt like she was melting.
He saw Ye Dong standing next to him with a look of excitement and anticipation, and then looked at Uncle Ye who was wiping his sweat.
Ye Zhen tapped his lowered fingertips lightly, and the spiritual energy separated them. As they walked, it was as if a cool breeze blew over them, and they immediately felt comfortable and cool. Ye Dong asked as he walked:
"Uncle, where are we going to pick someone up today?"
Uncle Ye narrowed his eyes and picked up his phone to check the time:
"Go to the hotel entrance over there and make an appointment to be there at nine o'clock." Uncle Ye pointed to the hotel on the other side of the bay.
Following the direction of my uncle's finger, the tall buildings are hidden among the tall and lush coconut trees. Nearby stand many homestays facing the sea, shaded by red flowers and green trees, adding to the pastoral charm.
There are many small yachts, some white and some red, carrying tourists in the bay. The shouts and cheers seem to break the surface of the sea, and those who hear them can't help but smile.
Now is the peak tourist season. Men and women are walking and playing on the coast in cool clothes. There are also young people skateboarding and surfing near the sea, following the waves.
Where there are people, there are business opportunities. Smart vendors set up stalls to sell sun hats, swimsuits, kites and other small items. When you are tired of playing, you can lie down on a lounge chair and sunbathe. If you are thirsty, there are freshly picked and opened sweet coconuts. If you are hungry, there are small stalls selling seafood barbecue everywhere, which are fresh enough...
This is really a great place for leisure and entertainment.
Ye Zhen looked at the time. It was now eight thirty. The bay on the opposite side didn't seem to be far away. It would definitely not be possible to walk along the shore, but Uncle Ye also had a small yacht. Several people got on the small yacht, and "Wow!" The motorboat broke through the water, leaving a series of waves.
It only took twenty minutes to reach the destination.
Ye Zhen and Ye Dong first played in the bay, and then went sea fishing together after Uncle Ye sent off the tourists who had made reservations to go to Xiaowan Island.
Ye Zhen was not interested in anything else but those snack stalls that tried different ways to seduce people.
Pulling Ye Dong, the two of them first came to the place where coconuts were sold. The boss was very skillful and shaved off the green skin of the coconut with one knife. There were many coconuts piled up next to him. He asked:
"Want to buy coconuts? How many? Do you want green-skinned coconuts or coconut treasures? We'll open them right here and guarantee they'll be juicy and sweet!" He said as his hands kept moving. He opened one in a few strokes and handed it to someone else. The knife for opening the coconut reflected a cold light under the sunlight.
Ye Zhen was worried that he would cut his hand.
"Boss, I want two green coconuts."
"Okay!" After Ye Dong scanned the code, he explained to Ye Zhen:
“The green coconut water is fresh and thirst-quenching.”
Seeing Ye Zhen staring at the meatballs next door like a greedy cat, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Look at these stalls. They have almost any seafood you want to eat. They all taste pretty good, but the prices are a bit expensive. But you can try them often."
There were people coming and going here. Although it was still early, Ye Zhen was almost overwhelmed by the delicious food from other food stalls. There were seafood buns and dumplings, octopus balls, fried oysters...
Before he could say anything, Ye Dong suddenly came up and nudged Ye Zhen with his shoulder, "Hey! Ye Zi, look who that is? Is that Cao Jing?"
Cao Jing? Who is that?
Ye Zhen couldn't remember it for a while.
Following the direction of Ye Dong's sight, there were people everywhere and it was impossible to tell who was who.
"Oh! It's that guy! Is that him?" Seeing Ye Zhen's confused look, Ye Dong became anxious and pointed to a young man with his lips.
Ye Zhen looked over carefully. The direction Ye Dong pointed to was a man who looked quite tall, with a muscular upper body, a well-built body, a trendy hairstyle, and wheat-colored skin. Although he was not particularly handsome, his aura and body added a lot to the overall look, making him quite conspicuous in the crowd.
There are many beautiful women around, looking at me secretly.
But who is that? Ye Zhen frowned and looked at him carefully. He didn't remember the existence of such a person.
"Tsk! It's Yuanzi's ex-husband! The gigolo who hangs out with rich women!"
Ye Dong said this with gritted teeth and a look of shame on his face. This bastard just has a better figure and is a little taller. The rich woman next to him is really blind to fall for such a gigolo.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I wanted to go up and beat him up.
How did his sister get cheated by him? In the past few years since she married him, she has been working from morning till night. The family's fields are all worked by his sister alone. Not only did she cheat away all the hard-earned money, but he also said she didn't want the child and didn't even call her.
It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Jing was completely supported by his sister.
He dresses himself up like a dog every day!
If his father hadn't stopped him, he would have come to his house and smashed it up, and then called a few brothers to beat him up.
It’s a pity that this guy never came back after the divorce!
Oh~ After listening to Ye Dongyi, Ye Zhen knew who this person was. Isn’t that Ye Yuan’s ex-husband!
That young aunt curses and spit on the cheap man who lives off her boyfriend every day!
This is the guy! Ye Zhen really didn't remember what this guy looked like. He turned out to be so ugly!
She takes back what she just said!
