"It's not cold in the house, and I have a quilt to cover me when I sleep."

Ye Yaodong took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. Then he held her shoulders and walked towards the table, "Are you awake?"

"Well, I can't sleep."

"Is it because I didn't come back that you couldn't sleep?"

Lin Xiuqing turned her head and asked evasively: "Why did you come back so late? It's almost 12 o'clock."

"Well, it took a while to walk back."

After sitting her down on the chair, Ye Yaodong touched the pocket of the coat that was draped over her body, took out the light cakes and pancakes stuffed in the pockets and placed them on the table, and took out two boxes of maltose from another pocket.

Lin Xiuqing watched him perform a magic trick, and kept taking out things and glaring at him, "Did you really buy it and put it in your pocket? The two children stayed up all night and said they would wait for you to come back, which made me coax them for a long time. Later, they were really sleepy.

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I fell asleep."

"Well, these two are holding my thighs and looking at me like that. Can I break my trust with them? It just so happens that I made a lot of money today, so I didn't work in vain by staying up so late at night."

"Just give me a beating, why are you spoiling me?"

"Then did you beat them at night?"

Lin Xiuqing was suddenly speechless.

He smiled and continued to touch his pants pocket, wanting to take out the money he earned at night and give it to her, but unexpectedly touched two beads. Then he remembered that he had forgotten the oyster pearls during the day.

I was in a hurry, and when I took out the money, I didn't dig it all the way out, and I missed something. No wonder I always felt like something was missing.

Ye Yaodong put the money on the table and put two pearls in her palm, "This is the 17 yuan I earned at night, and these two pearls were accidentally dug out of the oysters when I was fishing in the sea during the day."

Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, not even being surprised as to why he earned so much 17 yuan in one night. She stared at the two pearls in her hands, not knowing how to react?

Pearls can be dug out of oysters? She has never heard of it.

"It's true! I was in such a hurry at noon that I forgot to take it out when I was digging my pocket. I just remembered it when I touched it."

"Can pearls really come out of oysters?"

"Every shellfish has a certain possibility, it just depends on the probability. I have never seen anyone find pearls in oysters, but I heard about it many years ago."

I saw it on the news.

Lin Xiuqing held a pearl in one hand and held it up high to shine it under the light. This feeling was even more unbelievable to her than opening a Melo Pearl.

"How much can this sell for?"

"I don't know, just keep it! After all, I opened it myself. I can use it to make a pair of pearl earrings to wear in the future, or keep it as a souvenir."

She smiled and glanced at him angrily, "I work every day, so I wear pearl earrings. These are only worn by wives from rich families."

"We will also have money in the future."

"How rich do you have to be to afford it..."

She said this, but she was very happy in her heart. Their family actually had pearls.

She put the two pearls in her hands, rubbing them and playing with them. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something again, and she stood up in shock.

"There's another bag at the back!"

Ye Yaodong grabbed her arm, supported it, frowned and said, "Why are you so surprised? Leave the bag in the backyard for me to open with you tomorrow."

"Will there be pearls found in that bag?"

"It's possible that the little sister also dug up one at that time, and the fat man also got one. Maybe the island's terrain is not good, and no one has visited it for many years. The oysters have grown for many years, and some pearls have emerged."

She smiled and said: "I found a treasure."

"Put it away and put it with Melezhu. We'll see if we can open it again tomorrow."

She smiled, narrowed her eyes and nodded, then turned around and saw the money on the table, "Oh yes, didn't you say you were invited to go to sea? How do you earn so much?"

"Those young men didn't understand anything. I showed them how to catch a fish, and they gave it to me. It was a 5-pound yellow pomfret. And they didn't know how to bleed deep-sea fish, so we all

If he takes care of it well, they will pay him more wages."

"very nice!"

"Well, if you accumulate a little, you will have a lot of money to spend in the future."

She glanced sideways at him and said, "You know too? I thought you didn't know. You buy this and that all day long."

"Don't you want to lose someone, and I can't lose you and your children? Making money is to improve your life. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's midnight, are you hungry? You eat quickly and go to bed after eating. I have

I bought more, one for each person.”

As he said that, Ye Yaodong picked up the fried cake on the table and handed it to her. It would not be crispy when it was cold, but it was still quite fragrant. After all, it was fried.

But she put it back on the table, "You must be hungry, right? You went out without eating supper. I'll cook some noodles for you. This pancake will be good to go with porridge tomorrow morning."

He sighed in his heart, held her hand, and said in a sincere and serious tone: "You don't have to be so frugal, you should eat, eat, don't save it for the morning meal, just dig out the pile of shelled ones yesterday and dry them in the sun

It’s enough to last a long time.”

"No, I just think it's too greasy to eat at night, and I'm afraid it will make me sick."

"Okay, let's cook some more noodles and eat together. I'll help you pick vegetables in the backyard."

She smiled and nodded.

The men and women work together without getting tired, one makes the fire and the other cooks the noodles.

The couple carried the child in the house on their backs and quietly had a rare and peaceful meal of noodles. In the past, when there were children around, any meal without eating was like a war?
