Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1113 Discuss Whether to Go Back or Not?

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Ye Yaodong take out handfuls of money from his bag and count them.

"How can he have so much money..."

"Didn't Dong send all the money he earned from hairtail fishing to remit? You guys haven't been fishing there these days?"

"You guys have been fishing since we were caught? No way?"

Others responded.

Those people regretted it even more, and felt that they were extremely unlucky. They didn't get any good things, and they got all the bad things.

"Fuck, are there as many goods there as last year... What a pity..."

"Alas, it's still raining outside, otherwise we can go back later and maybe we can salvage more and make a little money, so as not to return empty-handed."

"After being in jail for a few days, you are not in a hurry to go home, and you are still thinking about catching jellyfish?"

"Alas, it's miserable if I don't make money, and I will lose face if I go back. Things have come to this, so I might as well stay a few more days and make a little money, otherwise I won't be able to get the money to redeem myself."

"It's also because of old Pei I helped to advance the payment because of our long-term friendship. Otherwise, I still couldn't get out. I paid 300 yuan, but the two boatmen on my boat were also arrested. I had to pay them 600 yuan. I couldn't go out and lose money, right? I had to earn the 900 yuan on the sea and return it to Lao Pei. "

"Let's talk about this when we get back. I don't know when the rain will stop."

The people in front were counting the bills, and the people behind stood at the corner door and whispered to each other, and asked about the scenes and conditions of the seaside outside during the days they were locked up.

Ye Yaodong paid 6 payments of 1,800 yuan one by one. After getting the cranks of each fishing boat, he asked other people to pay.

Now the largest denomination of a banknote is 10 yuan. It takes a while to count 1,800 or 1,500. After paying the money, he also went to the back near the door to wait and listen to everyone's chat.

"We came out first, and there were still a bunch of people inside. They saw us being taken away, and they said someone was coming to redeem us. The others were so anxious..."

"Yeah, the people inside were so anxious..."

"We came here as soon as we got the news, and walked for several hours in the heavy rain. The others thought it was troublesome in the rain, and wanted to ask Adong to help redeem us, but they scolded us."

Ye Yaodong happened to hear it and said, "Whoever is on the boat should redeem it himself, otherwise, if they say I took the money and embezzled it later. And I don't have that much energy, I have more than a dozen people to redeem."

"There are also many people inside Captain, you have to ask their relatives and friends to come and help redeem the boatmen under the arrested captain. How to redeem them? "

"Yes, how can they redeem them? The people related to them can go by themselves. How can we ask others to redeem them? I will definitely accept that Lao Pei helped to redeem me. This money must be returned to him..."

"It is indeed inconvenient on rainy days. It is raining so hard. Let the people inside wait a little longer. Others should come to redeem them soon..."

"If it were me, I would not want to stay for a moment. I would rather run out in the rain..."

While everyone was talking, the person who bought the boat outside had not returned yet, and a policeman walked in from the back door and said there.

"Your accomplices have been yelling and yelling for you to help redeem people. When will you redeem the remaining people?"

Ye Yaodong replied, "There are still some people who haven't come yet. They will probably come tomorrow."

"Then lock them up first."

"They must be so anxious and angry..."

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

The two policemen were not in a hurry. As long as they didn't run outside to get wet in the rain, they didn't care when the people outside came back to handle the procedures. As long as they didn't delay their get off work, it was fine.

Ye Yaodong looked at the gap in waiting and ran in from the door to ask the two policemen.

"Comrade, we were attacked by locals when we boarded the boat, and we dropped a lot of daily necessities, sundries, rice and other supplies. Now that the people have been redeemed and the fishing boats have been returned to us, can these supplies also be returned to us?"

"The people were redeemed by you, and the fishing boats were returned without any fines. Do you still want those supplies?"

He smiled and said, "We dropped them in the first place. The people have been released and the fishing boats have been returned. There is no need to keep those things. Haha, the leader also said that we can take them back."

The two looked at each other, and then said impatiently, "Okay, okay, go and move them..."

"Then I'll come and get them when it's sunny? It's windy and rainy outside now, so it's not easy to move things, and the rice can't get wet in the rain."

"Yeah."

After getting the nod, Ye Yaodong walked out with a satisfied look on his face, just as the others ran back from the wind and rain.

The heavy rain outside never stopped, and it was already 5 o'clock when everyone finished the formalities and came out, and the sky outside was scary.

On sunny days, it gets dark at 7 o'clock, but now it gets dark at 5 o'clock on rainy days.

However, this does not affect everyone's mood at all. Everyone has a smile on their face, with the joy of seeing the sun again and the happiness of finding a bargain.

Ye Yaodong bought the most in the afternoon trip. He bought 6, which all looked relatively new. A Guang bought 2, one slightly newer and one old. His second brother and Xiao Xiao also bought one old each. A cousin who rented his fishing boat also bought one happily.

A Zheng, Ye Yaosheng and others had also missed a boat, but after A Dong reminded them, they were a step slower when they ran to the shore again. They were preempted by others and there were no local boats to choose from.

Originally, there were more foreign boats detained than local boats. Some of the arrested people were smart and did not give out their boats. Their relatives and friends were quick and drove their fishing boats to other docks for refuge, so they would not be detained and sealed.

Those who did not get a bargain did not dare to take risks, and were also worried about getting entangled and causing trouble, so they had to give up.

There were two boat bosses who were just redeemed. Because they didn't make any money, they had to pay the head fee. Although they knew it was a bargain, they didn't have the money to buy the boat. They hadn't paid the head fee yet, so how could they buy the boat?

Although he was tempted, he didn't think about it at the beginning. He didn't even argue. When he got to the shore, he just checked his boat.

Most of his cousins ​​came out to work with him. They didn't have the money to buy the boat. Some of those who rented his boat didn't come out to redeem the people in the afternoon.

Two people were arrested and he helped to redeem them. After all, they rented his boat. He redeemed them first, and the head fee was recorded and deducted from the monthly dividends.

Speaking of it, after being arrested for so many days, it was a happy thing for everyone to be able to get out again.

After everyone came out of the public security bureau, they immediately went to the shore. Although it was not suitable to sail in such a strong wind and rain, they had to check the fishing boat they had just got and tear off the remaining seals before it got completely dark.

Although Ye's father had been in jail for a few days, he saw that Ye Yaodong had made a lot of money and bought 6 more boats at once. The second son also bought one. His originally decadent face became more energetic. He smiled in the wind and rain and took the initiative to help him check the newly acquired boats.

After they finished checking, they returned to the crowd waiting on the shore.

"Should we park these boats we just got at the dock first?"

"Not so good. After all, these boats we bought belong to locals. If the relatives and friends of these boats know about it, there will be trouble at the dock again, and it will definitely not end well."

"That's true. We can't park here."

Ye Yaodong just jumped ashore after checking and heard this. He immediately said: "Drive to the safe harbor. We can't park here. It's one thing to prevent locals. Looking at the recent windy and rainy weather, I feel that there may be a typhoon."

"I think so too. The tail of the typhoon should have swept through these few days, so it has been windy and rainy for so many days."

"Then we will drive to the safe harbor first, and wait until the rain is less and there is no wind, and then drive the boat to the city, which will also avoid being seen by locals."

"That's it..."

"Let's go..."

Fortunately, he redeemed many people this time, so he was not afraid that no one would drive the boat.

Some people did not buy a boat and did not need to drive the boat to the safe harbor, so they walked back first.

When Ye Yaodong and his group drove the boat to the shelter and then walked back slowly, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when they got home. His main room was also crowded with people.

Those who did not go with him in the afternoon also gathered at his place. A lot of people gathered there to talk, waiting for them to come back.

There was also a burning brazier in the middle of the main room.

"Finally back..."

"They are back..."

"But I didn't see you guys come back yet and thought something happened. Fortunately, fortunately..."

Ye Yaodong took off his raincoat and looked at everyone, "Where is the meeting?"

"If I had known, I would have gone with you in the afternoon. I didn't expect that I could buy a fishing boat."

"Don't talk about it for now. Let them step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck. By the way, take off all the clothes on their bodies. Don't take the clothes you wore inside. Throw them into the brazier and change into a new one."

"Yes, let those who just came back step over the brazier first."

The people who had just been released quickly stripped themselves naked, stepped over the brazier, and then took the boiled eggs given by others.

"Okay, okay, just step over the fire basin, and everything will go smoothly and safely from now on."

"If you didn't go to redeem the person together this afternoon, you will probably be scolded to death if you go tomorrow."

"You thought it would be inconvenient on a rainy day, so you thought you would wait until the rain was lighter..."

"What is there to scold? You have to wait for me to pay the money to redeem the person, and you dare to scold me."

"We all thought we were done for and had to go to jail, and we were all disappointed."

"The guards inside said that we would be sentenced to at least one or two years. We were all panicked, but we didn't expect that we could still get out."

"This is all thanks to Adong. He has been busy looking for connections these days, so that everyone can get out..."

"Originally, each person had to pay 500 yuan for ransom, and the fishing boat also had to pay a ransom of several hundred yuan before it could be released. It was Dongzi who interceded and helped, so we could get the same price of 300 yuan as the locals."

"Ah, the locals are offering us two prices?"

"That's right? After all, locals are locals. We outsiders must be punished more severely. Now we are all punished the same. It's all Dongzi's credit."

"Yes, thanks to Adong, everyone should thank him..."

Ye Yaodong sneered in his heart. When he was caught, he still made trouble for him. In the afternoon, he shamelessly asked him to help redeem people and took everything he did for granted. Now everyone has changed their tone and started to flatter him.

Some people are really mean. If you treat them well, they will take advantage of you. If you treat them harshly, they will say all kinds of good things to flatter you.

"Everyone, don't forget your roots. This time, it's all thanks to Adong that we were able to get out. From now on, we will do whatever Adong says and listen to him."

"Dongzi, if you have anything in the future, just call us..."

"From now on, Adong's affairs are our affairs..."

These people who were just released were scared in there, and now they are really grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts, and their words are more sincere than others.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said to everyone: "It's already past 10 o'clock. Everyone must be exhausted after being released. Some uncles and aunts are old. They need to rest early at night after such an experience."

"We just walked for several hours at night and are very tired. I won't greet you. We have to take a shower and eat something later. We haven't eaten since the afternoon. We can't stand it anymore."

Some people immediately stood up and said, "Okay, then you eat first and rest early at night. We will go back first and come back tomorrow. Let's discuss whether we should go back after the rain stops. We just talked about it. Some people don't want to go back without making money."

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow. It's already 10 o'clock now. Everyone is exhausted after just coming back. I won't drag you."

One person stood up, and everyone else stood up and went back first very tactfully.

They also had to go back to discuss the next rules.

After a day of rain and a whole day of walking, many people were hungry and their legs were weak. Ye Yaodong had just taken off his raincoat and sat down when he sneezed several times.

The boatmen also brought out the food that had been reserved for a long time. Everyone did not care to take a shower, and sat down naked to eat voraciously.

Anyway, they were all grown men, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Although some people left the hall, most of the people were still there. There were 33 people originally, and he redeemed 12 more people. At this time, there were still 45 people in the hall, sitting densely in the corner. Some had no place to sit and stood against the wall, watching them eat.

Ye Yaodong ate a bowl of rice to fill his stomach temporarily. He ate the second bowl a little slower, then looked at the eyes of the people around him and said vaguely: "Don't just look at me, you can arrange your sleep at night."

"There are only 4 rooms in total, and there is also a woodshed kitchen. You can arrange it yourself. There is no place to sleep on the floor in the room, so just spread a mat at the foot of the main hall to sleep. In this kind of weather, it's good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain when you go out. Everyone will make do with it."

"Don't sleep on the boat at night. It feels like it's because of the typhoon these days, so it's windy and rainy. Safety first."

If it wasn't too late, he would have wanted to drive the boat to the safe harbor now. Now he can only wait until tomorrow to drive the boat over.

"Also, we have 15 more people. Those of you who came back early should know that when you go back, you can send them back to town. This period of time is also considered as my employment. Let's live in peace."

After listening to his instructions, everyone immediately started to move.

After returning a few hours earlier, everyone just had a meal and hadn't arranged to sleep yet, so they sat there and chatted with a group of people.

After eating three big bowls of rice, Ye's father burped and turned to ask him, "Can you tell me what happened these days?"

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong was also full, and he told everyone what happened in the past half month.

After the people who had just returned from the dinner table listened in silence for a long time, someone spoke.

"It's a pity that we were caught, otherwise we might have been able to catch more..."

"Yes, so many boats and people were caught on both sides, and the rest were all cheap for those who were not caught."

Father Ye also said with emotion, "This is better than others. Everyone is still in prison, and you are making money."

"How did you get caught?"

Speaking of this, Father Ye got angry, "I got on a boat you rented, and just as I was about to untie the rope and leave the shore, the police climbed on the boat and caught me. I was so angry that I almost ran away. I was detained for so many days in vain."

"Well, at least I got out safely without any injuries."

"Don't tell your mother when you go back, so that she won't worry."

"Save her from scolding you, right?"

Father Ye glared at him and changed the subject, "Will you go back when the rain stops?"

"That's what I thought. Go back early and send all the people on the boat back first."

After all, everyone was frightened and had been in jail for a few days. He earned tens of thousands of yuan anyway, so he was content. He sent these people back safely first.

There weren't that many people left, so they didn't need that many people. Going back early could save some money.

Then you can come back later, and you won't have to bring so many people.

Father Ye looked at the people at the table who were watching and listening to them. "The people who were just released should not be willing to give up, right? They have to go back in disgrace before they have earned any money. Some boat captains still owe hundreds or even thousands of redemption fees."

"Then leave them alone. Anyway, I have done what I should do and helped to rescue the people who should be rescued. The rest depends on their personal choices. Those who want to stay and continue to salvage can stay. Those who are willing to go back with me can go back."

"That's fine. After all, we have so many people, and you also promised to take those people in the town back. Have they sent the news back?"

"No, this matter is too serious. The people are gone, the boat is gone, and the 1 It would be hard for the five boatmen to explain themselves when they go back. They didn't dare to call home during this period, and they didn't have time. They just stopped to rest because of the heavy rain these two days. "

"Oh, now there's a lot of trouble. We are so lucky to have saved our lives. Let's go back early."

Ye Yaodong looked at the increasing number of people around the dining table. He thought for a while and said to everyone: "Let's go back when the rain stops. Everyone is worried about this trip. Let's go back early and feel at ease early."

"I will pay you the wages the day before you plan to leave. I will pay you now. You probably gambled these days. You earned it by risking your life. It would be a pity to lose the gamble."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

"Also, I will pay the 300 yuan for each head redeemed today. After all, you followed me and suffered so much. I will not ask you to pay for it."

"And your wages will be paid as usual for so many days. Although you didn't work, you were also implicated. Your wages will not be reduced by a penny. When the time comes, I will give you a big red envelope. Everyone will get a share. It will be a thank you and a relief."

"The 15 people in the town have wages but no red envelopes. After all, they were picked up halfway and didn't come with me."

Everyone smiled and relaxed, and thanked him again and again.

The 15 people were also very happy. It was good enough to earn wages halfway.

"Adong is still kindhearted. He redeemed us as soon as possible and gave us all the money we deserved."

"We followed the right person. If you think about the people who have not been redeemed, you will know that it is right to follow Dongzi."

"This trip was dangerous, but at least we all got out."

"I hope the rain will stop soon and we can go back soon. If we stay longer, our hearts will be in our throats."

"It is better to go back early. Didn't we say that we are the same price as the locals? We were redeemed, and the local onlookers must have been redeemed in the past few days. Many of them are fishermen, and there will definitely be many people salvaging by then."

After hearing this, Ye's father immediately said, "Tell your eldest and second brothers to go back with us tomorrow when the rain stops, and don't stay here and take risks again."

After being in prison once, Ye's father was scared.

"Yeah. It's late too. Let's clean up the table and rest quickly."

He also took a shower, and then spread a mat with others to sleep in the lobby.

Ye's father and others were lying beside him, still muttering how scared they were in the Public Security Bureau, afraid that they would never be able to go back. When they were excited, they secretly wiped away a few tears.

"It's over, don't think about it. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. And there will probably be a new policy in two days. Those who apply for a metal plate will be safer by then, and patrols will be strengthened at sea."

"If there is no death or a big incident, they can't think of a corresponding policy. What have these people done? If they made it more formal earlier, there wouldn't be so many casualties and arrests."

Ye Yaodong didn't respond. If there was no big incident, who would pay attention? What's more, there is chaos everywhere these days. It's hard to manage on land, let alone on the sea.

Those who manage the sea are to catch smugglers or escort... Who cares about the trivial matters of fishermen fighting? It's not a big deal for them if no one is killed.

Even if someone dies, in this underdeveloped communication and imperfect laws and regulations, it all depends on whether the local authorities take it seriously. If they don't take it seriously, underreport or don't report it, it's not a big deal.

"How much did you make this trip?"

"Why ask? It's enough to have money to redeem people and buy a boat. It's almost enough. The rain will stop in a few days, and I have to pay a large sum of money. Go to bed early."

"Yeah."

After Ye's father responded, he also snored within a minute. There were also snoring sounds around. Most of the people sleeping in the main room were let out today. They were all scared and worried. They didn't sleep well. They could sleep peacefully after coming out.

Ye Yaodong walked back and forth all day and was caught in the rain all day. He was very tired and fell asleep soon.

The sound of rain fell all night, and even the sky in the early morning was darker than before.

The light of dawn did not wake up a large group of people sleeping in the main room. It was not until everyone in the room got up that the people in the main room got up.

Not long after they finished their meal, a large group of people living in the guesthouse also ran over.

Ye Yaodong also told them that he planned to go back after the rain stopped, which made them frown.

"Are we really going back like this? We just released them, and we haven't made any money yet..."

"Make your own plans. There are too many people here now, and before the rain, there are not enough jellyfish to catch all day, and the number of local fishing boats is also increasing."

"Don't you say that you have to apply for fishing qualifications from the Ocean Bureau and hang up iron plates before you can catch jellyfish? That should be safer, and there won't be any more fights, right?"

"Who can say for sure about this? It's not up to us or them to say whether it's safe or not. Think about it yourself."

Everyone was whispering and discussing with each other.

"It's raining for four or five days now, so why don't we wait and see? There are still people inside who haven't been redeemed yet. Let's redeem them later and talk about it together?"

"Then let's redeem the others together and talk about it together. If some people don't want to go back, we can stick together."

"That's right. They haven't been arrested. Those who have made money want to go back. Of course, those of us who haven't made money don't want to go back. If we don't make money, we will lose our face and dignity."

Ye Yaodong asked them to discuss it on their own, because he was surrounded by some close friends who were asking him for confirmation.

He also expressed his own views.

"Although you can apply to catch iron, those locations are now public. After the rain stops, there will be more boats going there, and the number is decreasing. I don't think it's worth taking any more risks. My boatmen are also inclined to go back quickly."

Father Ye also helped, "Go back, you have all made money, don't be greedy, you are already better than many people, and it's a blessing that you can make money safely this time."

"Amitabha, Mazu bless you, otherwise you might still be squatting in there, or as miserable as those people."

"Then Dongzi, we will go back with you first, and the others can discuss it among themselves. If they want to go back, they can go back. If not, let them stay here and continue to make money."

"Then go back, we also made a few thousand yuan this time, just one month, it's good enough."

A Guang hesitated, "I'm still working as an intermediary there..."

"Don't do it anymore, let them sell it directly to the dock regardless of the quantity."
