Chapter 1067: Almost Enough

The two cadres were pleasantly surprised when they heard this.

I didn't expect that he could donate two more small wooden boats. Even if they were used second-hand or third-hand boats, each one would cost one or two hundred yuan.

This is equivalent to saving a lot of money for the village committee.

Without a fishing boat, we really can't operate at sea and can't do anything.

Several other navy officers also praised him for his high awareness and knowing how to contribute to the construction of the village.

"However, I have a condition. When the time comes, the kelp cultivated collectively must be collected by me. You cannot just ask for it by yourself. You will not be unsteady in your position. Of course, I will definitely purchase it at the market price. I will definitely not deliberately lower the price and bully the villagers in our village."

The village chief agreed immediately, "Of course, it was you who proposed to carry out aquaculture, and it was you who contributed fishing boats to support the aquaculture construction of our village. We can't turn our elbows outward."

Secretary Chen also smiled and agreed: "Yes, there are so many people at this table, and they can all testify."

Father Pei also smiled and said: "Without your help, even if it is grown, I don't know what to do."

"Hahahaha, yes, yes..."

Ye Yaodong raised his glass happily, "Come on, let's have a drink. I hope that the kelp cultivation carried out in the village will be a great success in the future."

"Okay, okay, this is worth a toast together."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was particularly strong, and everyone continued to talk about the topic of aquaculture.

"Where are you going to buy two small wooden boats for the donation? Why do you have to wait until you finish catching jellyfish? Didn't you say that there was a lot of preparation work in the early stage?"

"I ordered a few small wooden boats, but the boat builder hasn't built them yet. When they are built, I will take them to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish, so I have to wait until the end of September. I will hand them over to the village committee when I come back."

It's already mid-June, and it's okay to tell them in advance. It's too late to follow the trend, so it doesn't matter.

"Why do you have to take wooden boats?"

Except for Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, everyone else is a little unclear about the situation of catching jellyfish, and they are a little confused.

The two brothers were surprised and looked at each other. They didn't expect Dongzi to be so smart that he actually ordered small wooden boats to go fishing.

But who made him smart, that's fine.

It's just that this year will definitely be difficult, and both of them had this idea in their minds.

Ye Yaodong laughed, "The more boats you have, the more you can catch."

"That's right... your boats alone will catch up with the total of the whole village. How many boats do you have?"

Father Ye also laughed happily and said proudly, "Five boats have been rented out. In half a month, the sixth boat may be available."

This time, except for his family, everyone else opened their mouths wide, including several navy officers.

"6...6 boats?"

"6 diesel trawlers?"

"Really? So many?"

Captain Chen was also amazed, "You have six boats in just two years? This is too fast, too incredible, right? Buying a boat is easier than buying meat."

"Isn't it? Some families don't eat meat a few times a year, and he can buy several boats in a year. This is the sixth one?" The village chief was very surprised.

"No, including the big ship he owns, called Dongsheng, right? That's 7."

"Then... he seems to have a share of Fengshou, two ships parked side by side in the middle of the sea, my goodness, you are really good."

Ye Yaodong waved his hands repeatedly under their surprised and passionate gazes, "No, no, one of the rented ships is my father's old ship, he just asked me to help him collect the goods, so he put it with me first."

"Then including those two big ships, there are also 7, that's right, it's amazing, the whole village can't compare to you."

Secretary Chen said to the village chief with pride: "The first two I told you yesterday that if you listen to Adong, we can't go wrong in developing kelp farming. Look at him in the past few years, he has been making more and more money, with one boat after another. Since he said that kelp can make money, it must be right. As long as we grow it, the living standards of the whole village can be improved, and the county will have to commend our village. "

"Hahaha, from this point of view, I believe he should be right."

"Now that we have even found a boat to operate at sea, there is nothing to hesitate about. Put in some labor and study it carefully."

The village chief nodded repeatedly, feeling that the dinner in the evening was not in vain, and he had more confidence in kelp farming.

Captain Chen also smiled and said, "When I came here a few days ago, I saw that you had a TV, a washing machine, and a two-story building. I thought you should have made a lot of money in the past two years. Now it seems that I was too conservative. You didn't make money, you got rich."

"Captain Chen, you underestimated him. He has several shops in the city. The two empty spaces with walls next to them, did you see them when I came here just now? They are also his. They are also the workshops he built in the past two years. Adong has been the signboard of this village in the past two years. Others don't know our Baisha Village, but when it comes to Xianyudong, everyone knows it."

Secretary Chen spared no effort to help him brag.

"What about the military motorcycle at the door?" a navy comrade asked curiously.

Others also added, "Haha, I saw it a few days ago, but no one dared to ask."

Secretary Chen looked at Ye Yaodong and said carefully, "That was left by a leader."

No one knew the specific situation, but they only knew that the county leader left a damaged motorcycle, and then heard that Ye Yaodong sent it for repair, and it has been kept at his home since then, and he can be seen driving it out occasionally.

Ye Yaodong asked curiously, "You know there is no mark on it?"

"Of course, although there is no mark, this model is not something that anyone outside can have, not to mention how expensive motorcycles are."

He smiled and said, "It was a familiar leader who passed by us on a mission. As a result, he rolled down the hillside at the bend of the mountain road at night. The motorcycle was damaged and the person was injured, so he left for treatment first."

"Then the motorcycle has been temporarily placed with me. I was worried that it would break down if it was not repaired for too long, so I sent it for repair, and then it has been kept at home. The leader said that he would wait until what Come back when you are free to drive."

"Oh, so that's why you parked such a motorcycle at home."

Captain Chen said with a smile: "I didn't expect Comrade Ye Yaodong to be familiar with the leaders above."

Father Ye spoke actively, "More than familiar, the leaders can take care of Adong. Someone in the village reported Adong for speculation before, and the leaders were anxious and called the border guard station directly to let him go."

"Nonsense, the leader just asked about the situation, and the border guard station also found out that it was a mistake, and then released me. I am not a speculator, I just It is selling agricultural products, which is not called speculation. Making high profits through speculation is called speculation. "

"Yes, yes."

Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Although it is like this, it is true that the leaders have taken a fancy to you."

"No wonder Comrade Ye Yaodong has developed so well in recent years, and his family has changed a lot."

"Haha, the leaders are just external forces, and the more important thing is your own hard work. They can't work for you or go to sea for you. They have their own things to do, and they still have to make money themselves."

Father Ye quickly followed up and agreed, "Yes, that's right , you have to rely on yourself for everything."

"But if you have a leader you know, you can always do things more smoothly."

"Indeed, haha, come on...it's already night anyway, and you don't have to work, drink more, my house still has several rooms..."

"No, no, we have to go back quickly after eating, we can't stay outside."

"It's sunny, we still have tasks tomorrow, and we have to train as usual."

"Can't stay overnight?"

"No."

Since it's not possible, Ye Yaodong didn't force it, and only asked the two village cadres to drink more.

There is no old man who doesn't like to drink. He likes to drink a few glasses when he is free. The humidity at the seaside is also heavy, and he needs to drink occasionally to get rid of the moisture. Women in every household basically know how to make wine.

The local confinement also requires fish, soup, and chicken stewed with rice wine. The rice wine they drink at night is made by Ye's mother herself, specially made for Ye Huimei to drink during confinement, and some more is made for home drinking.

That's why Father Ye wanted to take the opportunity to drink more. The four old men in the room kept talking to each other.

Mother Ye also kept filling their glasses. It was rare that she didn't scold Father Ye. She also smiled and urged them to drink more, and not to be polite.

Captain Chen and his men said they wanted to go back, so they were determined to go back. They had a simple meal, drank two small cups, and got up and left.

It was completely dark at this time. Ye Yaodong politely tried to keep them twice, but it didn't work. He didn't say anything more, and everyone stood up and sent them to the door.

Ye Yaodong asked the others to go back and continue eating. He walked with them for a while and chatted with them.

When they reached the entrance of the village, he stopped and told them to walk slowly, and then went back.

Except for the four old men and his eldest and second brothers, everyone else had left the table, and even the two younger brothers had gone back first.

Ye's mother also cleared the garbage on the tables of the people who got up and left, without disturbing the people who were drinking happily.

Lin Xiuqing also went back to the house to bathe the two children and play with them.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he was called by them to sit down and continue to chat with them.

The evening breeze was blowing outside, and the atmosphere in the house was hot and exciting. After drinking horse urine, they talked more, boasted louder, and spoke louder.

Ye Yaodong drank with them for a while, and saw that the two village cadres were already fantasizing about selling the kelp at a good price after the harvest, and the whole village cheered, and then expanded the investment, and every household participated, making the village a wealthy village, and they gained both fame and fortune.

He also laughed.

It's all because of poverty, and even a little hope can be magnified.

Fortunately, he remembered that there was only one super typhoon this year, but it did not pass through their place. It went northward, and their coastal areas were only slightly affected. In the next few years, there were no super typhoons in the coastal areas around them.

As long as there are no problems with the steps of seedling collection and seedling cultivation, there is a high probability that it will be successful.

After a group of old men drank too much, they chatted with each other endlessly. Later, their tongues were swollen and they could not speak clearly. Ye Yaodong asked his eldest brother and second brother to take one back each.

He also supported Pei's father, and his father's words were handed over to his mother.

However, his mother pinched him twice as soon as she got started, and then cursed.

"It's late at night. If you want to scold, take him back and scold him first. Now help him up first, one person each..."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "The ground outside is not dry yet, there is mud everywhere, help him up..."

"He drinks every day and gets drunk like this..."

"Why don't you put my father here to sleep at night? There is a room anyway, so I don't have to help him up?"

"No, keeping him here will only cause trouble. People like him will drink horse urine and go anywhere without even knowing which way to open the door. There is a pile of freshly collected kelp in your room, so don't let him pee directly into your pile of goods."

Ye Yaodong was speechless. Is his father such a bad drinker?

"Not that bad, right?"

"What do you mean not that bad? He is capable of such a thing. Last time, he was drunk and got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. He mistook the closet door for the door of his room and peed when he opened it. I almost cut him to pieces. I almost beat him to death in the middle of the night when he was drunk." Mother Ye raised her voice, full of anger.

Ye Yaohua helped to speak, "Dad was also happy at night, and he also drank with the village chief and the secretary."

This chapter is not yet finished, click on the next page to continue reading. "Look at how he persuaded people to drink. Who doesn't know that he wants to drink so much? Forget it, help them back first,

It's so late."

"Yeah."

Everyone was drunk and difficult to help. They staggered when they walked, and pushed the people they were supporting to the side from time to time, and then sang loudly or talked loudly with their tongues bulging.

But when they walked out of the courtyard, the sea breeze blew and everyone fell to the ground. Fortunately, they were all young and strong, and they could barely hold up a few old men, but only Ye's mother.

Ye's father was a grown man, and she couldn't help him even if she wanted to. She just watched him fall to the ground with his face on the ground, and then snored in sleep. She put her hands on her waist and cursed angrily.

"Oh my God, he fell to the ground like a dead pig. How can I help him... It's endless. Don't know how to drink less. You will die here tonight..."

"You always make trouble for me... You drink like this, as if you have never drunk alcohol in your life..."

"You are so dirty, you will sleep on the ground tonight..."

Ye's mother was so angry that she hit and slapped him, but she couldn't pull him up. It had just rained, and it hadn't been a few hours. There were puddles and mud everywhere on the ground. It was very dirty.

When Ye's father hit the ground, the mud on the ground had already splashed all over everyone.

The three brothers who had just walked out of the door began to sweat after only a few steps. They stopped and stood by the side, watching speechlessly, but no one could spare a hand to help the old man on the ground.

It was very difficult for everyone to help, as drunk people were particularly heavy and prone to moving around. Everyone fell to the ground, and they were about to fall down.

"How about this, mother, you push the cart out, I'll put Uncle Pei on the cart first, and then lift dad up. Push out the carts of the eldest and second brothers, too, otherwise, this messy road is not easy to walk on, and it's hard to hold on."

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, just use the cart to push it, it's easier."

Ye Yaodong said again, "Mom, you push both carts out first, we'll get the people on the carts first, and then lift dad up together, let him lie down for a while, it's okay."

"It's okay to let him lie down until dawn." Mother Ye kicked him in dissatisfaction, and then turned around to push the cart.

"It's okay to let him lie down until dawn, but it's troublesome for you to wash his clothes. By then, he will be covered in mud from head to toe, and you still have to wash his clothes."

"I'm so angry about him that I'm going to die. There are people like this... they don't know how to stop drinking... It just so happens that several of them are drunkards, and they get together..." Mother Ye pushed the cart out after cursing.

It was much more convenient with a cart. People could be placed on the cart and then pushed back home, saving time and effort.

His father was miserable. He didn't know where his mother would let him sleep at night.

When they were sent home, his mother directly asked them to leave him in the living room. It was so dirty that it was not suitable to put him on the bed. The three brothers also obediently put him on the floor and didn't dare to say anything to offend his mother.

Fortunately, we all eat at his house now, otherwise his mother would definitely not cook for his father for three days. Anyway, she has not been doing anything recently.

On the way back, Ye Yaopeng also took the opportunity to ask him about building a small wooden boat.

"Are you going to build two or more small wooden boats? I don't know if it's too late. Let's go buy one or two and see if it's okay? If it's one or two, it won't be a big problem to tow it over on our boat."

"I ordered 10. When I went there two days ago, they were almost finished. The master asked two or three apprentices to help. They should be able to sail back by the end of this month or the beginning of next month."

"Ten...ten?" The two brothers exclaimed, then looked at each other in shock.

"Are you going to catch them all in one fell swoop, Dongzi?"

"Yes, if you don't make money yourself, then others will make money. Chen Jianian must have brought a lot of boats this year, and there will definitely be a few more boats around us. However, the volume of our surrounding area is so large that it doesn't matter if there are a few more, but he must have a lot more boats over there."

"That's true. If you don't make a lot of money, then others will make money."

"Well, so I also ordered ten in one go. This kind of thing can only be done once. It won't work next year. You can do it yourself."

Ye Yaopeng pondered for a moment, "We can't do what you do. That trawler can only carry one or two. We also have to bring daily necessities and several people. We have to leave some space for movement and walking. Now It's not easy to buy now, and people can't make it."

Ye Yaohua also said: "Ask others, probably no one will sell the boat, so forget it."

"We can still make a little money this year. After fishing in the trench, we can look for it on the nearby seashore. It's still better than trawling at home. I can't say for next year."

Ye Yaopeng was happy: "Next year we will also have a big boat. By then, whether we go to Zhejiang Province or follow your two boats to fish, it will be convenient."

"If you can learn it, then learn it. If you can't learn it, just work for a few days and run away from you."

"Okay."

The three of them walked and talked. The village was silent with only the chirping of insects and frogs. They talked in low voices to avoid being scolded by people who opened the window because of the poor sound insulation.

When Ye Yaodong returned home, Lin Xiuqing was already washing the dishes and the messy table was cleaned up.

"Are the two children asleep?"

"Well, you should go to bed early too."

He drank a little too much that night and had a headache, but he just forced himself to stay awake. After nodding randomly, he went into the house to sleep.

When he got up the next day, the sun was already shining on his butt, and he was the only one on the empty bed.

When he went out, he found out that Aqing had gone to the workshop to collect kelp, and people from other villages came to deliver kelp early this morning.

The sun was shining brightly on the first day after the rain stopped. Today's sky looked particularly clear, but the wind and waves on the sea were a little big, and the aftermath had not yet disappeared, and even the tide was still high.

It was convenient to do things after the rain stopped, and people in the village also went out normally.

When Aqing was collecting the goods, many people in the village who were gossiping also gathered around, and Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu were in the crowd and had a lot of fun.

Ye Yaodong wanted to laugh when he saw Ye Xiaoxi's shiny bald head, which almost reflected light under the sun.

He smiled and called out first, then waved at her.

Ye Xiaoxi was also very happy to see her father coming, and excitedly ran towards him, shouting as she ran, "Dad, big bald head, big lazy bug..."

He touched her bald head, "I'm the big bald head, you're the little bald head."

"Yes, yes."

"Come on, I'll take a picture of you."

Keep it as a souvenir, and show it to her when she grows up. It will be difficult to see her bald head in the future.

"Okay, okay..."

She was so happy that she jumped and jumped and was about to run out. Ye Yaodong quickly picked her up, and picked up Pei Yu by the way. If they walked on the dirt road outside, they would definitely be covered in dirt again.

He had leveled the ground of the workshop with mud and sand. Although it was not so flat, it was uneven and had particles, it was better than the dirt road outside.

Ye Yaodong's camera hadn't been used for a long time. He asked the child to sit in the sidecar and took a photo with the two dogs who didn't want to get off.

However, when he finished taking the photo, he found that the two dogs hiding in the sidecar seemed to have big stomachs?

He reached out to touch the dogs' stomachs in confusion.

"Fuck, who made your stomach big? And both of them got it?"

"Damn, it's hard to prevent dog thieves day and night. I want to match you with a police dog or a wolf dog to improve your genes and optimize the next generation."

The two dogs squatted comfortably in the sidecar, letting him touch them, and showed a comfortable expression, and even stretched out their tongues to lick his arm.

The old lady sat on the armchair at the door, fanning herself with a palm leaf fan and smiling, "They should have gotten pregnant during the squid season last month. Everyone was very busy and no one took care of these dogs. Then we found out a while ago that these two were pregnant."

"Damn, I wanted to take them to the border station to steal a police dog's seed last year, but they were too useless. I didn't even succeed. Now I don't know which dog is pregnant."

Last year, Aqing also felt that there were too many dogs at home. When they were mating, he kicked them away and kept a close watch on them. Fortunately, he didn't get caught last year.

He was thinking that he had brought back two wolf puppies from the forest market a few days ago, and that he could breed another litter of wolf puppies. Now, he could have two litters of puppies later, and he could only wait until next year to see if there was a chance for wolf puppies.

Ye Xiaoxi saw him reaching out to touch the dog's belly, and she also curiously reached out to touch it, and then touched the milk on it, and even pinched it to play with it.

"Nene... cluck cluck... little Neene..."

Ye Yaodong quickly slapped her hand away, "Don't be naughty, Xiaohei is going to give birth to puppies."

"Puppies? Really?" Ye Xiaoxi's eyes lit up with joy, "I want puppies, not chickens."

"You get bored with the old and love the new. You've played with the chickens at home until they're almost dead. You hold them in your hands every day."

The old lady added, "She almost stepped on one to death yesterday. Now she doesn't play with it anymore. She only dares to play with the bigger ducklings."

"Don't touch them, naughty. In half a month, a group of puppies will be born to play with you."

Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu squatted beside the motorcycle curiously and looked at the two pregnant dogs. They wanted to touch them but didn't dare to, so they just squatted there and watched obediently.

Ye Yaodong took another photo of them being so well-behaved, thinking that he could print two photos of Pei Yu later and give one to A Guang and the others.

I have been taking my camera to the sea for the past six months. I haven't taken many photos at home, mostly of fish. I really didn't think of taking two more photos of Pei Yu, and then developing them to bring to them. What a sin.

Feeling guilty, he simply took two or three photos of Pei Yu alone, and then took a photo of the old lady sitting at the gate with a palm leaf fan.

"Ah? What the hell are you taking photos of? I haven't changed into new clothes... or combed my hair..."

"Look good, so that it's real."

"You didn't tell me in advance. Of course you have to dress nicely for taking photos. What a waste."

"It's not a waste if it's a meaningful photo. Okay, let's call it a day."

"When the two children come back in the evening, take photos of them too."

"Okay, take photos of the four bald heads at home."

The old lady laughed.

At this time, Lin Xiuqing's voice at the door came in. She was directing people to park the cart at the gate of the yard.

"Two people can just carry it in and put it in the empty room on the first floor..."

"Have you finished collecting this morning?"

"Just finished collecting it. Everyone is still standing there and talking. I asked them to move in first."

"How many kilograms did you collect this morning?"

"1,658 kilograms, a total of more than 7,000 kilograms. Let's see if we collect a little more in the afternoon. I guess there will be no more. Everyone in the surrounding area knows that we need kelp these two days, and almost all that can be delivered has been delivered."

"That's fine. That's almost done. Collect it in the afternoon and check tomorrow morning. If there is nothing, I will send it directly to the city tomorrow. It's just right to do this before going out to sea."

"Well, the village cadres came to see you this morning, but I said you were sleeping, so they asked you to go there in the afternoon."

"Oh, then I guess they want to ask me about kelp farming."

"I think so. You can go there after dinner and when it's time to go to work."
