Chapter 233 Mother-in-Law Visits Son-in-Law

Ye Yaodong also saw his surprised expression.

"What's wrong?"

"I think I saw a pearl?"

Lin Xianghui picked up the big river clam that he had just thrown to the ground and the shell was cracked. He opened it and saw that there were really two round pearls inside.

Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes, "Young? Danshui Pearl! Brother, you are so lucky."

Lin Xianghui looked at it with some disbelief. People in Hebeng's village had been catching pearls since they were young. Some people had accidentally opened them in the past few years, but they were very few. There might not be one in a few years.

He didn't expect that he just saw a small slit. He instinctively followed the hole and dug out casually. The big river clam he pulled out actually had two pearls inside?

"What are you stunned about, brother? Dig out the pearls and have a look."

After all, Ye Yaodong was someone who had discovered oyster pearls before. He was already a little accustomed to the fresh water pearls obtained from river oysters and was not very excited.

After Lin Xianghui reminded him, he quickly took out the two pearls inside and placed them in his palm. He smiled and narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth almost reaching behind his ears.

He didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise today. These two round pearls should be worth a lot of money. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he quickly shouted to Lin Xiangyang, who was bending over and playing with the grass.

"Xiang Yang, come here quickly."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Xiangyang fiddled with the grass with a stick and moved over slowly and calmly, "What are you doing?"

Lin Xianghui stretched out the two shining pearls in his hand to him and said with a smile on his face: "Look, I just opened them from a river mussel."

"What the hell, Pearl?" Lin Xiangyang's unconcerned face instantly widened his eyes.

"Yeah, I saw Adong touching snails and picking up river clams here, so I came over to take a look. I saw him touching a few river clams. I tried touching them too, but I didn't expect to touch one all at once. It was so big that I accidentally crushed its outer shell."

The more Lin Xianghui talked about it, the happier he became. If he hadn't crushed it, he might not have discovered it. He would have to wait until it was cooked or taken back to pick out the meat.

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Ye Yaodong had caught several of them beside him. Just as he was about to remind him, he was already breaking off the shells.

Ye Yaodong broke open the shells of the river mussels he had just caught and looked at them. There was not a single hair inside, just white flesh.

Lin Xianghui asked with concern: "None of them?"

He shrugged: "No."

It's normal not to have any, and he didn't have high expectations. My brother-in-law was just unlucky today!

"Pity……"

"It's nothing to regret. These are not pearl clams. It's rare to find one occasionally. Brother, why don't you take advantage of your good luck today and touch a few more?"

The smile on Lin Xianghui's face deepened, "You guys should try to grab a few more. Anyway, it's still early and the customers collecting oranges haven't come yet, so I'm still free."

As he spoke, he carefully put the two pearls into his chest pocket and patted them carefully twice.

Lin Xiangyang had already started to touch the mud at the edge of the river with great interest. They all spotted the gaps, and then started to dig out, and they also dug accurately, slowly along a river...

After Ye Yaodong dug out a few but found nothing, he was not ready to dig out any more, so he let his two uncles dig out slowly. They were familiar with the things in the river.

He shook his wet hands and walked towards the children who were having a great time, wanting to see what they had gained. By the way, hit them again and be honest.

"Wild ducks, how many have you caught?"

"Caught 6!"

"Sister-in-law, we have caught 6 of them. These wild ducks are so stupid. They fly away and come back again."

"It's quite stupid. If you catch a few more, you can open them up and eat them at night."

"Uh-huh."

These wild ducks are not very vigilant and are quite easy to catch. It is a pity that he does not have a fishing net, otherwise he can save a lot of trouble and catch a group of them at once.

There were also some curious children squatting on the shore. They originally wanted to come down to join in the fun, but they were threatened by the Lin family boys, saying that this was their territory and they were not allowed to come down, otherwise they would be beaten...

After Ye Yaodong told them to be careful, he walked upstream again and was startled by the piles of wild ducks flying around. There were many wild ducks upstream, and he actually picked up several wild duck eggs in the grass.

From time to time, a few big fish, small fish and some loaches swam in the clear water, which made his hands feel a little itchy, but my uncle only had one shrimp pot and had already put it down.

Without any tools, he could only stare blankly. He thought that if he came here again, maybe he could throw the net with his hand? I don’t know if I will be scolded...

After wandering around above the river, the hem of his clothes had already been opened to hold duck eggs. He counted exactly ten duck eggs, and he was happily preparing to walk back.

Hearing the exclamations of the children in front of him, he was so frightened that he immediately hugged the wild duck eggs in his arms and ran forward.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle also heard the exclamation and ran over immediately in fright.

"What happened? Who did what?"

"My cousin slipped and sat in the water..."

"Also, dad, look at a big tortoise coming up from the river, super big..."

"Yeah, look, it's bigger than the washbasin..."

The children who did not leave on the river bank also shouted excitedly, saying that they had never seen such a big turtle before...

At this time, Ye Chenghu had been lifted to his feet by their brothers and sisters, who made him the youngest among the group.

Half of his legs were wet, and he was still gesticulating excitedly and said: "Look, I didn't lie to you. What we saw yesterday was this big tortoise. Isn't it super big? It's bigger than a washbasin..."

Ye Yaodong got closer and only glanced at the big tortoise in the river. He quickly put down the duck eggs in his arms and stepped forward to check on his eldest son. Fortunately, only his knees were wet.

"Did you fall anywhere else? Are your legs only wet?"

"I didn't fall down. I just suddenly saw the big tortoise climbing up and he slipped in excitement and stretched his legs into the water." Ye Chenghu even shrank when he said this, a little afraid of being beaten again.

Who knew that his father just glared at him, didn't hit him, didn't scold him, just frowned.

"Come back with me later to take a shower and change clothes."

No hitting or scolding him, he was happy again instantly.

The two brothers-in-law ran over and saw the big tortoise suddenly climbing up on the river, and they were also surprised.

"It's really bigger than a washbasin. I've always heard that there is a big tortoise in this river. Today, it's rare to see it climbing up to bask in the sun."

"When the weather gets colder, turtles and tortoises also like to come out to bask in the sun."

"You are so brave and you are not afraid of being caught."

"Who dares to arrest this? They have become sperms. If anyone is arrested, they will be punished..."

The two of them were surprised for a moment before they remembered to ask Ye Chenghu how he was doing.

"It's okay. I just saw such a big turtle emerging from the water. I was so excited that I slipped and put my foot in the water. Fortunately, I will take him back first."

Ye Yaodong also told his brother-in-law to remember to pick up screws, river clams, and river clams in the grass. He had just picked up ten wild duck eggs, so he took his eldest son back first.

The lower body was wet against the body. Although winter had just entered and the temperature here was still over ten degrees, children had weak immunity and were easily susceptible to colds. He had to take him back to take a bath first.

Lin Xianghui nodded, frowned again and scolded Lin Guangyuan: "I told you to look at your younger brothers and sisters, but you didn't take good care of them. You even made your cousin drop them. Collect all your things and go home. You are not allowed to play with them." ”

Lin Guangyuan said unconvinced: "I looked at them. He was too excited and careless. What can I do? What's more, you are adults running around and playing, and you still have the nerve to blame me."

"You even talked back. I told you to look at it. If you didn't take it seriously, it's your fault. Go back and give me a beating."

"Hmph~"

Lin Guangyuan is not afraid of his father, but he also knows that his little cousin is a guest, and his father has to pretend to scold them no matter what.

It looked like he couldn't continue playing today, so he had to call his other brothers and sisters to collect everything and put all the wild ducks he had caught into bamboo baskets.

Everyone is still a little unfinished, feeling like they haven’t had enough yet and are about to go home.

Lin Guangyuan also has the demeanor of being a big brother, "We have almost caught today, enough to eat. Let's come back in two days on the weekend."

Anyway, they already know the method. If there is good weather, there will be wild ducks flying over, and they can continue to catch them in the same way.

Ye Chenghu knew that because of his carelessness, everyone involved would not be able to play. He lowered his head, did not dare to say a word, and followed his father home obediently.

Along the way, Ye Yaodong didn't say anything about him. It was normal for a child to fall. There was nothing to scold. He often walked by the river. How could his shoes not get wet?

Not everyone fell into the river, so that's fine.

When he returned, the child was not scolded, but he was.

"Why are you so careless?" Lin Xiuqing took off Ye Chenghu's pants, then frowned and glared at Ye Yaodong, "Why didn't you take good notice of him? You actually let him fall into the water?"

"I didn't know that. He was so excited when he saw the big bastard."

"Then you shouldn't be more careful around him. Going to the river is not going anywhere else. I told you when I went out. You don't know what to do. Day by day..."

Mother Lin quickly helped and said: "How can you really keep an eye on this kid when he is running and jumping? Don't talk to A Dong like this, and he has a bad temper, with this tone! How can you blame him?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at his mother in disbelief. Why did she have a bad temper? What's her tone?

"He didn't take good care of the child, why can't I just scold him? Why do you think I have a bad temper? Mom, why did you say that?"

"How can you blame him? Stop nagging. Don't scold the younger ones all day long. The older ones are just careless. Wash your son quickly, put on his pants, and don't catch a cold."

"How can I not scold the younger ones after scolding the older ones? Mother, what are you talking about yourself?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but complain that she was obviously her own mother, but in the end she sided with her man and called her a nag!

"You said you talked back, please wipe your son quickly and put on his pants..."

Ye Yaodong was immediately happy.

The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more satisfied she becomes!
