Chapter 1077 Dealt With

The tractor swayed and soon arrived under the red flag. Ye Yaodong was depressed and took out his pocket, looking at the tractor driver from time to time.

But the driver was not embarrassed at all, just staring at the money in his hand, waiting to take it. He muttered that it was a rip-off, but simply handed the money over without saying anything.

It was useless to say anything. He didn't know the way and didn't have a navigation map. He deserved to be ripped off. He wouldn't stop ripping off passers-by because of his words. After all, this was also a shortcut to getting rich.

After watching the tractor go away, Director Chen patted him on the shoulder,

"It's worth the money to learn a lesson. At least you know which way the gate opens in the future. Let's go in. It's time to get off work. There's no one else except the one on duty and the guard. I have to make a phone call to report it. I have to temporarily transfer professionals from the army."

"At least we're in the city now. Otherwise, if we were in the county, we wouldn't be able to find relevant technical personnel. We would have to wait for someone to be sent from above, and there's still a lot of waiting." Ye Yaodong followed him in, and looked around at the low houses and mottled paint-chipped walls. It didn't look much better than the Maritime Safety Administration in the county.

Director Chen greeted the guard, and the guard opened the door and let them in. When he walked in, he saw that there was a small vegetable field at the corner of the wall. The green leafy vegetables looked fresh and tender, and there were water drops. The soil was also moist. It was obvious that it had just been watered. The old security guard knew how to live and didn't waste a small piece of open space.

"Don't look at it anymore. Come here quickly."

"Oh, I'm coming..." Ye Yaodong followed him at a trot, then followed him into the office, greeted another clerk on duty, and then went to the office to make a phone call.

It sounded like he called the army directly, explained the situation to the army, and asked them to send someone to deal with it as soon as possible.

It was also true. There were troops stationed in the city, and the troops were probably the most familiar with these military things.

"Wait a minute, I still have to write a report to submit. It will take an hour or so for someone to come after the army receives the news."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, thank you. If it's convenient, can you lend me the bicycle you just rode?" Director Chen looked at him in confusion,

"What are you doing? Are you going somewhere?"

"It will be dark soon, I want to buy some food to fill everyone's stomach, otherwise I don't know when people will come later."

"Oh, you are thoughtful, go ahead, I also need to write a report first."

"Okay." He didn't forget to close the door when he went out, and then went outside to ride his bicycle to the dock as usual.

There were still some carts selling food on the dock just now. It was not dark yet, so they should still be there.

The fact proved that the distance was indeed not far, and the speed of riding a bicycle was probably comparable to that of a tractor. It took only about 10 minutes for him to return to the dock.

At this time, the wharf was still bustling with people, except for a few fishermen weighing goods at a few purchasing points, most people were still standing on the shore pointing and talking.

He found a man who was shouting and selling cakes and bought some, and then bought two bottles of soda. Seeing someone carrying chestnuts and peanuts on the side and preparing to leave, he stopped him and bought two kilograms of each.

By the way, he saw someone selling local peaches and cherries, and wanted to buy ten kilograms of each, but there were not so many, so he simply took as many as he had left.

The vendor was so happy that he could still meet such a big customer when he was about to close the stall. However, he had nothing to load, so he asked the vendor to weigh it and carry it to the boat on the wharf over there.

People were so happy that they didn't refuse. They used baskets to help him squeeze through the crowd, and they squeezed and cursed in the local dialect, pushing away the people who were gathered on the shore who wanted to see the bombs, and squeezed out a path for him to get on the boat without any obstacles.

Ye Yaodong was happy to save trouble. The vendor was still standing there cursing,

"All of you, I heard that after this boat retrieved the bomb, all of you crowded onto the shore. Really, you don't have to do anything, just stand here and watch, what can you see? If it explodes, everyone will have to go to see their ancestors."

"Dong... Brother Dong... you you you..."

"We've contacted them, and someone will come to deal with it later. You just bought some food, so you can fill your stomach first. There are also these two small baskets of fruit, put them on the boat, and take them to the sea later to share with everyone. You take a basket and wash it, then pad it with newspaper, turn it upside down, and free up the other person's basket first to return it."

"Okay, okay..." The vendor widened his eyes in surprise,

"Oh, this is your boat, is this the thing you retrieved? Let me see, let me see, everyone is here, it's not right if I don't take a look, there are so many people around..." Ye Yaodong quickly took out the money to pay him and let him get off the boat.

"Don't look at it. If it explodes, your bones will be blown into powder. Let's go." These words scared people so much that they just looked at it for a while and then fled.

But the people on the shore were still standing there. It is human nature to watch the excitement. Although some people are also worried about danger, they think that one more person is not too much because everyone is watching. They all follow the crowd, as if there are more people, they are not afraid of explosions.

After arranging the food, he took another clean basket, half filled with peaches and half filled with local cherries, and put two bottles of soda, a few egg cakes and osmanthus cakes in it. He told Chen Shi to keep watching the boat before getting off the boat.

He had just pushed the bicycle to the shore. He was worried about it being stolen because he had no key or lock. Fortunately, no one had the guts to do that in public.

He pushed the bicycle out of the crowd again before riding it again and quickly went to the Ocean Bureau again. Director Chen was writing on the paper with his head down with a fountain pen. When the office door was knocked, he only looked up and said, "Come in," and never looked up again.

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to disturb him or eat first, so he just sat there and waited quietly. It wasn't until 10 minutes later that the pen cap was put on and pinned to Director Chen's chest pocket that he dared to call him to eat something to fill his stomach.

"Hey, are there peaches and cherries?"

"I just saw someone selling fruits, so I bought some. You can take them back later. Eat some egg cakes to fill your stomach. I don't know when they will come."

"Wait, it shouldn't be that fast. The station is far away, one east and one west. If you react quickly, it will take at least an hour." He was mentally prepared and was not in a hurry. He just ate something quietly to fill his stomach and chatted with Director Chen.

He was not in a hurry, but Director Chen was more anxious than him. He looked at his watch frequently while chatting.

It was not until it was completely dark and it was 7:30 that they heard the sound of a motorcycle outside. The two of them immediately stood up at the same time.

"Here they are..."

"Go out and have a look..." Three or two motorcycles, six people came, which was considered a small team. Director Chen saluted the people and shook hands with them one by one. After greeting them, they went straight to their destination. It was really dark and they couldn't delay any longer.

Ye Yaodong also got into the sidecar, and then greeted the soldier sitting on it. The soldier just nodded, so he closed his mouth and didn't say anything.

These three sidecars are very similar to the one in his home. It can be said that there is no difference. If there is a difference, it is probably only the degree of newness and oldness. He couldn't help but feel a sense of joy that he had made a profit.

The speed of the motorcycle was faster, and it was whizzing to the dock again in a short while. There were not many people on the dock at this time. It was dark, and everyone went home. There was a limit to gossiping. Even if they waited until dark and no one came to deal with it, the people went back directly.

Only the nearby purchasing points were still busy, and some tractor carts were still waiting at the dock to try their luck and see if there were any fishing boats docking to pick up the goods and make some money.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound of the motorcycle, and their eyes began to focus from afar, until the motorcycle stopped at the shore, and people surrounded them with flashlights as usual.

"Which boat?"

"There, where the lights are on on the boat." Ye Yaodong pointed out and led the way in front, leading people aboard.

These men in military uniforms took out their flashlights and shone them on. The dazzling light was brighter than the lights on the fishing boats.

His eyes lit up. Sure enough, all the good things were in the army, and even the flashlights were better than theirs.

"It's right here, in the middle of this pile of fish..." Ye Yaodong patiently told the soldiers where the bomb came from.

"Let's check it out first."

"It's just dark and there are fewer people..."

"Are you afraid that it still has power?"

"It's hard to say." These people talked in a low voice while putting on gloves, first pulling the entire bomb out of the pile of fish, revealing its original appearance.

Ye Yaodong stretched his neck to look, and then immediately went back to the cabin to take out his camera.

He didn't take it out to take pictures during the day, thinking that after landing, he would ask these people to dig out the complete bomb and lift it up, and then he would take a good picture. Unexpectedly, it was delayed until dark.

Just now, he thought that this time it would be a waste of time and he couldn't leave any photos. Unexpectedly, their flashlights were brighter, and they could clearly illuminate every corner of the deck when all of them were turned on.

Then taking a picture should be okay, right? While they had already fished out the complete bomb and lifted it up, he took a close-up picture while they were at it. Instantly, everyone turned their heads and stared at him.

Ye Yaodong immediately smiled awkwardly, holding up the camera in his hand,

"I thought it was a rare opportunity to fish out a bomb, and it would only happen once in a lifetime, so I thought of taking a photo as a souvenir. This should be okay, right?"

"Don't spread it out."

"No, no, I'll just keep it for myself. Can I take another photo? I'm afraid the photo will be exposed..." The leader hesitated, and Director Chen smiled and interrupted, "This is indeed a small bomb. Comrade Ye Yaodong is quite knowledgeable. He can recognize it and report it in time, and didn't throw it back into the sea directly. He just said that he wanted us to take it back for research. It might be useful. He is quite conscious. Will there be a targeted reward for him after we carry it back?"

"There should be. We have to carry it back first. If there is a reward, we will contact him."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late now, we have to carry it back and check it first." Ye Yaodong took another photo while they were talking. Since there was no objection, he would take it as a tacit agreement.

It would be best if there was a reward, but it didn't matter if there was none. It was just a silk banner, a certificate, or a reward of 50 yuan.

While they were talking, several soldiers roughly checked it on the spot.

"Is it convenient to carry it back like this?"

"Bombs and explosives mainly for military use have always been known for their long shelf life. This one may be good. Carry it to the shore first. The fishing boats will be shaken by the waves here, which is not very convenient." Ye Yaodong watched them carry the bomb to the shore directly after they finished speaking, and the people standing on the shore watching came up fearlessly.

The soldiers immediately warned them to stay away, saying that this one was still active and might explode if not handled properly, so they quickly retreated.

He also went ashore, curiously watching them put it on the ground with care, and then came to Director Chen and asked in a low voice.

"Can this still explode?"

"It is possible. The corrosion is not serious. If you want to go back to the sea, go first. There is nothing for you to do next. They will probably check it briefly and move it away first. There is nothing special to see."

"Don't worry. It's dark anyway. It doesn't matter if you delay it a little longer." Everyone hasn't left yet. Why is he in a hurry?

"Well, there will probably be rewards. It's also written in the report I wrote. You can come back in half a month or a month. It will probably be issued. If there is, I will collect it for you. You can come and get it." Ye Yaodong nodded with a smile. It's easier to get things done with someone in the court.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm not an outsider. I will apply for it if I should." He was immediately happy. Not an outsider!

Then it's one of our own! This is possible. The people watching around didn't dare to come over when they saw them checking here. They just stretched their necks to look over here. As they looked, they got closer and closer. They stood far away after being scolded.

However, these marines did not need to stay any longer. After a brief inspection, they greeted Director Chen, saluted, and took him on the motorcycle and left.

After the work was done, Director Chen also said a few polite words and asked him to come to his house in a few days. Ye Yaodong stopped him before he rode away on his bicycle, asked him to wait, and then went to the boat to get a basket, filled a large basket of good fish and gave it to him, asking him to take it back to eat.

After watching the people go away, he also took off the hat on his head, touched the sweat on his forehead due to running, and fanned himself with the hat.

The scattered people around originally wanted to come up and ask him a few questions, but when they saw his shiny big bald head, they were stunned for a moment, stopped, and then took two steps back, and turned to pointing at him.

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone's reactions, was stunned for a moment, and realized it later. Did they think he had just been released?

Damn! He glanced around with disdain, then swaggered towards the shore again and climbed onto the boat.

"Brother Dong Dong Dong... are you done?"

"Okay, it's done. I'll go see if there are any rewards to claim in half a month. Did my father and the others initiate a connection during this period?" He shook his head,

"No, no, no... I went..."

"Okay, then you sort out the scattered goods on the deck. I'm going to drive the boat and go find the Harvest." He nodded again, and then took the initiative to raise the anchor first.

Ye Yaodong grabbed a handful of cherries in the basket and went directly to the cockpit. He connected the line as soon as possible. He was afraid that his father would worry because he hadn't delivered the message for so long. He had to tell them after the matter was handled, so he went to meet up now.

Ye's father had been guarding in front of the cockpit. He was relieved after receiving the message and gave him another coordinate to drive over.

Having completed another patriotic act, Ye Yaodong was in a good mood. He drove the boat leisurely while grabbing a handful of cherries and stuffing them into his mouth.

I was thinking about it in my heart. After this trip, I will discuss with Ah Qing to see whether to buy a house in the city directly to build a house for her parents to live in first, or buy a ready-made old house.

Now that I have a big thigh to hug, I can rest assured and don’t have to worry about being out of reach. However, it is not the time to buy a lot of houses. Now no one is selling a lot of houses there. They are all old houses for basic needs. It is normal for a family of more than ten people to squeeze into 20 or 30 square meters.

Most people are still waiting for the unit to distribute houses. If there is really a quota, how can he, an outsider, get a turn?

It will be consumed internally. If he really wants to buy, he has to go to a big place to buy a foreigner’s house or a courtyard house in Beijing, but he can’t buy it just because he wants to.

He was a small fry in his previous life, and he is not a famous person now. He is at a loss even if he goes to a big city. The most important thing is that he can buy a house in the city now, which is the safest at present.

Damn, if I had known I should have done more research in my previous life and made some strategies in advance, so that I wouldn’t have to rack my brains now if I knew what to do after my rebirth, what to do first and what to do.

"Forget it, let's buy some wasteland first! Land is the foundation." Land is cheap now, so buy more and keep it there. Anyway, the family has hundreds of thousands of yuan lying there. If he doesn't spend some, he will feel really uncomfortable. He always thinks about inflation. In a few decades, hundreds of thousands of yuan will not be enough for a toilet in a big city.

Buy a piece of land in the city and keep it there first. At least now someone is protecting him, so he can feel more at ease.

However, he has to show what he should show, and he has to give away some of it when the time comes. In his previous life, he also knew where the city was busy. When he had time, he would go shopping again and take it in advance.

He was thinking all the way there, and his mouth never stopped. After eating cherries, he started to light a cigarette. Nicotine made his mind clearer.

If you want to make money and develop, you have to start from a familiar place, so that it is safe. Now that Director Chen is protecting him, he is half successful. If he buys another piece of land, he won't have to worry about the rest of his life.

The plan to retire at the age of 40 is also half successful! Thinking about it, his face was full of smiles. He really worked too hard and was always striving towards his goal.

This small bomb that was fished up today will probably bring some benefits to Director Chen, right? At least it will allow him to stand out and have more presence as soon as he takes office.

He still has to hold on tighter. After half a month, he must bring a relocation gift to visit on time.

After sorting out the things he had to do intermittently in the future, his thoughts became clear.

In the dark night, the sea water is darker than the night. At least the moon and the stars are still hanging high in the sky, shining against the starry sky, while the sea surface is as dark as a black hole that swallows people.

He has gotten used to it. The white waves that ripple when the fishing boat moves forward are the best light on the sea.

Tomorrow will definitely be another sunny day. He keeps moving forward on the sea following the coordinates, but the Harvest cannot stay in place all the time. It is also a moving operation, but it will not deviate too far.

After driving for four or five hours and approaching the coordinates, he searched for a long time and contacted his father again. Only half an hour later did he see the light on the sea.

After asking each other online, they confirmed it, and then the two boats slowly approached each other. When they were close to each other, a bunch of people leaned against the side of the ship and asked them a lot of questions.

Ye Yaodong didn't know which question to answer, so he told them everything after docking, and then asked the crew to come back first.

It was already past 12 o'clock, and it was more than half a day longer than he expected. It was almost a day.

"Director Chen has been transferred to the city? That's really lucky. It's convenient to come to the city. You come and go anyway, and you come to the city more often than you go to the county." Ye's father was also surprised.

"He asked me to go find him in half a month. We should prepare more things to bring with us."

"It's my duty. I feel bad to bother him all the time. He's a very nice guy." A Guang was also smiling.

"Good guy, you're getting better and better. You meet people wherever you go. You can meet people wherever you go."

"It's just a coincidence." If it weren't for the pile of canned fish, he wouldn't have achieved what he did. They just complement each other.

"I'll go with you then?"

"Okay." After paying attention to the big boss, they turned their attention back to the bomb.

"Did they really take the bomb back directly? What's the use of it?"

"For research, we don't know the details. Okay, it's good to get it done. We've been delayed for a whole day and only cast one net in total. We have to start working." This trip was also very rewarding.

The person who knew in advance was promoted to the city, and the reason for the promotion was related to himself, which ensured a closer relationship in the future. This bomb also became a bond for them to continue.

"Okay, okay, it's safe and sound, so we have to work quickly." After saying this, Ye's father sent the others to continue working.

After Ye Yaodong divided half of the peaches and cherries he bought on the shore, he asked people to open up the distance between the two boats.

He also re-arranged the shifts, taking two people to take turns at night, and the others would wait until 7 o'clock in the morning to take over. As the distance between the two boats became larger and larger, the two fishing nets were also lowered in an orderly manner.

Along the way, the remaining goods on the deck had been cleaned up long ago. Although the shifts had been arranged at this time, everyone did not go to rest immediately, but talked around Chen Shi.

It was rare that everyone did not dislike him this time, and could patiently listen to him speak word by word. However, such patience was limited. After listening to him for a while, everyone went back to the cabin with a headache.

There was nothing to do just after the net was put down, and they could go back to sleep for two or three hours in the middle of the night before getting up to work. The only one who really stayed there was Ye Yaodong.

But he felt that getting up in the middle of the night would be more painful, so he might as well stay up all night. The two boats kept fishing at a distance. He had just finished a special task, and he was full of energy at this moment, with his eyes shining and paying attention to the sea.

Until he felt the vibration of the ship again, he stood up in surprise and pushed open the hatch to go out. But in the dark night, nothing could be seen on the sea.

Keeping the attitude of believing it is better than not believing it, he went to the cabin to wake up the two boatmen and asked them to prepare.

"The boat just shook a little, I suspect it is the group of mosaics in the daytime... Bah, it is a manta ray..." He blurted out the words while thinking about the mosaics in the daytime.

"Ah? Did the hull shake just now?"

"Did it? I didn't feel it either?"

"You sleep like pigs, it's strange to know. Anyway, prepare the net and put on the headlights. I will turn around and take a look. It's not as clear at night as during the day. You should look carefully."

"Okay." Both of them moved, and he returned to the cockpit. But before he turned around, he saw that the two people below had already opened the net and were ready to cast it.

For a moment, he didn't dare to change direction. Without an underwater detector, he looked up and saw that the bottom was all black, with only white flowers brought up by the waves. The backs of those devils were all black. They looked like mosaics during the day, but they merged with the dark sea water at night.

Without a close look, he could not see even if he was blinded. After thinking about it, he continued to work along the track, and the man walked out and stood on the rudder tower to look down.

From the expressions of the people, he could still clearly see that both of them were smiling. He shouted loudly: "Did you catch them in the net?"

"Caught them! Caught them!"

"Really, I just saw them swimming out." The fishing net was being pulled to the side of the fishing boat, and both nets were being pulled in.

I didn't expect that I could cast two more nets in the middle of the night, just to add up to the daytime ones. It turned out that these fish had never left, just like the Harvest, floating in this sea area.

Originally, when we first docked in the daytime, we thought that if we had time, we would pull the goods in the fish warehouse ashore and sell them. Although the goods in one net, plus more than 800 kilograms of manta rays, were not a lot, they were not a small amount either.

But after finishing the work, everyone was eager to go home, so they put it behind their minds and didn't think about it for a while. But at that time, everyone was sorting out the goods there, and they probably closed their stalls.

I don't know if there are any more after the two nets are brought up, but the sea is pitch black, and the fish's back is also black, so he can't chase it. Moreover, the goods from the two nets have to be brought up in batches, and the two boatmen are too busy.

Ye Yaodong asked the fishing boat to keep moving forward, and the people went down first to help, and by the way, to see how the two nets harvested?

"Really, there are some, my feeling is right." The night always magnifies people's senses infinitely.
