Chapter 1117 Returning Home

When Ye Yaodong returned home, the things in the yard had been disposed of. All the things no one wanted were collected and piled in the corner to be taken back together when he went back.

He asked casually, "Isn't anyone asking about food?"

"Of course there is, let's just say that's all."

"It's good to say that I can get these back, but it's for your sake. Otherwise, who can move things out from the Public Security Bureau?"

"It's just that being able to move so many things back from the Public Security Bureau is already awesome. Going back is enough to brag about, so what else is there to be dissatisfied about?"

"Then none of them had anything to say."

"It's good that people can come out. Who dares to worry about things? It's already Amitabha who can still bring these sundries back. It's time to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"that is……"

He nodded, as long as there was no loss of food, this would be regarded as his labor fee.

"Has the jellyfish blood dried up?"

"It's all done and put away. Today there are two more sacks."

He walked towards the four large bags stacked in the corner, took a rope and tied the two bags together, then took a pole, hung the rope on both sides of the pole, circled it twice, and picked it up.

"I will sell these goods before it gets dark. You eat first, don't wait for me."

After selling these goods, it was almost enough to pay wages. Aguang had just gone back to call people to collect the goods, and he also picked them up to sell.

When everything is sold out, I will tally up the remaining two days' ledger with him.

Yesterday, we collected goods directly on the beach. Everyone in the town was working there, and the harvest was extremely impressive. It was almost equal to the amount of fishing they received the previous day.

If it weren't for the small number of jellyfish brought up by the waves, the harvest would be far more than this.

Yesterday's agency fee alone cost him 215 yuan. In the evening, 212 kilograms of jellyfish blood was sold for more than 2,400 yuan. He also shared 162 yuan in agency fees for everyone's jellyfish blood.

After selling the goods and calculating the general ledger, he bought another 2,794 in the evening. Adding in the 3,151 he earned yesterday, he bought nearly 6,000 yuan in the past two days alone.

The total score calculated with A Guang a few days ago was 2893, and A Guang gave it all to him in the evening.

In total, he now has more than 9,000 on hand. This includes the remaining money after buying the boat, which is enough to pay wages.

After returning to his new home, he happily took out his account book and changed the previously calculated salary.

Today is August 2nd. Seeing that the waves are still strong today, he can temporarily relax until August 5th to go home. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, he can let everyone wait for another two days, and the wages will be settled until August 5th.

After writing and drawing for a while and calculating the wages, he took the account book and a wad of money and went out to pay everyone their wages.

"You should do the math yourself and see if it's right. If it's not right, come to me and tell me. I'll eat first."

After receiving their wages one by one, they were already so happy that they couldn’t close their mouths from ear to ear.

Ye Yaodong warned them while eating, "I think this trip is too dangerous, so I paid you wages in advance to avoid working so hard that you haven't seen the money yet. We will go back in two days." , Don’t all lose the bet, it’s not easy to explain when you go home if you lose the bet.”

"Hey, no, no, no, I'm going back soon. Whoever wants to gamble at home must go out every day."

"It's a pity that it's dark, so I can only wait until tomorrow to go out and buy something."

"I'll go out for a walk..."

"Where to go?"

"Someone brought the TV out to watch, and I went to join in the fun..."

"real or fake?"

"We're going back soon. Remember to keep a low profile, don't cause trouble, and don't delay your return."

After Ye Yaodong told them, he waited until they finished eating before going to get 200 for his father.

"I'll give your salary to my mother when I get back, and you can take care of it yourself."

Father Ye happily took the money and counted it over and over with saliva, "Okay, this is mine, and the wages are your mother's."

He went back immediately. He felt a little reluctant to let go. Not long after he arrived, he had made so much money. This place was considered a treasure, and he had also bought a house. Where could he find a house? Anywhere is home.

The next day, everyone else knew that he had decided to go home around the 5th. Some people were quite reluctant to leave. Uncle Zheng, who had followed them out, came over and asked if he could borrow his house.

Ye Yaodong asked hesitantly: "Are you sure you want to stay any longer?"

"I didn't make any money, so I had no choice. Although I saved the ship this time, a lot of the money for redeeming people and wages were lost. I have to fill the hole before I can go back, otherwise it won't be in vain."

"Okay, I'll let you guys stay there then. Just don't damage the house. I'll give you the key before I leave."

This face still needs to be given.

Among the people in their group, in addition to their own village, some were from other villages, and they all had close relatives and friends with the people in the village.

There are more than twenty trawlers, not only from their village, but also from several nearby villages. Generally, there are only two or three fishing boats in a village. Because of him and A Guang, there are particularly many fishing boats in their village, which accounts for Most of it.

Uncle Zheng was from a village near them. When he came out, there were two or three boats of relatives and friends following him.

Anyone asked him to buy a house, and when it became vacant after he left, it wouldn't be a big deal to let him live in it. It wasn't a new house, so he didn't have the nerve to refuse.

On the night of the 4th, everyone packed up their luggage and everything they needed to take home, and put it in the yard.

The other fishing boats that were going back with them all came over to them after packing up their things, as if they were holding a final meeting. The whole yard was full of people, and some people thought they were organized thugs.

"You should set out at three o'clock in the night to catch jellyfish, right? We will set out at the same time. I wish you good luck."

"Hope you have good luck."

“I don’t know when the fishing license will be issued for the report I submitted, otherwise I feel unsure.”

"Yes, they say you need a license to fish. I just applied now and I guess everyone doesn't have a license. I don't know if it will be confusing."

"Such a big thing has happened. If we say that we will strengthen ocean patrols, we will definitely do it. And everyone must have learned their lesson. They should not dare to cause trouble on purpose..."

"A lot of you are going back, and only half of us haven't arrived yet. Why don't you feel at ease..."

A large group of people gathered together in twos and threes to chat, some were sad and some were happy.

Ye Yaodong was filled with only happiness. Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, happiness still prevailed.

If you have money to earn, you have to have life to spend it. After you have earned enough, it is better to go back first.

Father Ye came over and said, "Except for Asheng, none of your other cousins ​​from the second uncle's family are planning to go back."

"Aguo and the others?"

"Um."

"Their small boat can't be pulled back by the big brother, the second brother and Aseng Ge?"

"They have formed a partnership with your next-door neighbor, the Zhou Daji brothers. They say they want to imitate you. One boat pulls several boats together to catch jellyfish, and several boats join forces together. It seems like they will be divided into 40 and 60."

"My brain works pretty fast. He also has a lot of fishing boats there, including five. If he can really catch fish calmly, it should be quite impressive."

"That being said, who knows if it will be peaceful or not? Those who stay basically have not made any money, or they are too greedy and want to stay and earn more. I came even though I thought about it, but I didn't earn any more. I can’t bear to leave either.”

"It's normal. After all, I earned so much last year. Those who have earned it will certainly not be able to part with it. Those who have not earned it, of course, will not be able to part with it after the benefits gained some time ago."

"Anyway, we are going back. Things here have nothing to do with you. I also told your eldest and second brothers to go back together. Follow you to be safe. Otherwise, if you stay here, who knows what will happen."

Ye Yaodong didn't say anything, it depends on personal wishes.

People all over the yard were sitting, standing or squatting chatting until it was getting late, and then they left one after another.

And they also locked the door, slept, and slept on the floor.

I don’t know if it was because we were about to go back, but everyone was extremely excited. A lot of people were lying on the floor without sleeping, and they were all chatting. They stayed up until 2 o’clock, and then they all got up excitedly to cook.

Maybe it's because they've been resting there in the past few days without working, so everyone is full of energy, full of energy and not tired.

Ye Yaodong waited until the meal was over and asked everyone to pack up and bring all the things they should bring. Forty or fifty people emptied the yard and room in one visit, and there was no need to carry them back and forth.

The pier was bustling with activity, but most of them were their own people, and the locals hadn't gotten up so early yet.

"I'm so envious that you guys can go back soon, but we still have to stay and do it, alas..."

"I have been in jail and scared for more than 10 days, and I am still scared when I come out..."

"We also want to go back quickly, but it's a pity..."

"It's better to follow A Dong..."

"Hey, we're leaving. Let's go home first. Take care. I'll let you know that you're safe when we get back."

The boatmen communicated with each other and climbed onto the ship one after another. Ye Yaodong's No. 45 people all boarded the Dongsheng, and the deck was full of them.

The other people who went back together also got on their own boats.

When they were ready, they started and left, leaving others with envious looks.

They also had a bunch of boats hidden in the safe harbor. After leaving the dock, they went to the safe harbor first and sailed out their respective boats first.

Ye Yaodong had many people on hand, so he was not afraid that no one would sail the boat. He could just scatter a few people over.

It is difficult to get those 10 small wooden boats onto a big ship on the sea now. He tied them directly behind the fishing boat. Although the speed will be slowed down, the problem is not big.

Anyway, the speed of other fishing boats couldn't keep up with his Dongsheng, so he just kept going with their speed.

In addition to his own fishing boat, the fishing boats that went back this time also included those of his eldest and second brothers, a few of whom he grew up with, and a few others who had made money at the same time, like two cousins, and two others who had The villagers from the same village who were on the boat, and two boats from other villages also went back together.

Everyone was quite convinced by him, and since he said he would go back, they would go back. Some of them had not been here last year, and they were very satisfied with the money they could earn by coming here this year, and were not willing to take any more risks.

The two cousins ​​who rented the boat to him and his father were reluctant to go back, saying that they had not made any money, so he stayed here with them.

Anyway, the fishing boat is rented to them, and they decide for themselves. He is the one who collects the rent anyway, and he is not required to take risks. The more they make, the more money he can extract.

"Dong... Brother Dong... How many... boats do you have?"

Ye Yaodong stood on the sea and enjoyed the sea breeze. Chen Shi looked at a large number of fishing boats and asked curiously.

"How many? Let me count."

He looked up at the starry sky with an empty look in his eyes.

The factory had ordered 7 boats before, received 2, rented one, and now there is another boat, No. 002, following behind. The factory still owes 5 boats.

There were originally three boats at home, rented to Brother Asheng, the eldest cousin, and the second cousin, which made 10.

And later, when they caught 110,000 catties of plum fish, they were targeted after selling the goods. They encountered robbers on the sea with the Harvest, and used fishing boats to hit the two boats. The people behind divided a boat, and this one was ranked 011.

His father's old boat was also rented to a cousin, but that boat was not his, so it was not numbered.

The factory still has a 34-meter freshwater boat that has not yet been acquired. It will have to wait until the middle of next year. The big boat he and his elder and second brothers have jointly acquired will also be acquired by the middle of next year.

The two boats jointly acquired by the four of them, Zheng, Xiaoxiao and Guang, will be acquired by the end of next year.

How many boats are there? All boats.

"If these small boats are not counted, there are about 10 boats in my hands now, including the newly purchased ones."

"Then...then these...boats..."

"Do you want them?"

He nodded, "Give them to...my dad..."

"Okay, I'll rent one to you, but you have to tell your family the rules, otherwise I'll take it back if you violate the rules."

Chen Shi nodded happily.

"Do you want a small wooden boat? I'll sell you one at 20% off. You know these are new boats, and they have only been put into use for less than a month."

Chen Shi smiled and shook his head, "No...not enough..."

He originally planned to ask everyone if they wanted to buy one when he distributed their salaries, but later he thought that it would not be good to take back the salaries before they were even warm, and he would have to pay for it.

Let's wait until we get back and let them discuss it with their wives and mothers before selling it.

Now that Chen Shi asked, he might as well tell everyone at this stage.

"Uncles and brothers, I have 10 small wooden boats here. I plan to sell 8 of them when I get back. You all worked hard with me this time. If you want to buy, I will give you 20% off and sell it to you first."

Some people in the crowd were surprised, some looked happy, some looked excited, and some looked entangled.

He continued, "No hurry, I just said it in advance, I will sell it when I get home."

The crowd whispered and talked, everyone was saying that it was cost-effective to buy a boat and go it alone...

Ye Yaodong turned to Chen Shi and said, "You are quite filial, you have made a lot of money in the past two years, and you still think about getting a boat for your father."

Chen Shi smiled and scratched his head, "I...I am now...the most...powerful one in the family..."

"You can save some money to marry a wife."

He had a silly smile on his face.

"Go to sleep for a while, I'm going to sleep."

Anyway, his father was driving the boat, and he had nothing to do. It was calm tonight.

The cabin was stuffy and there was no wind. Except for Ye Yaodong, everyone was eager to go home. They couldn't calm down or lie down. They all lay on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, looking at the stars in the sky, and chatting happily.

As time passed, the night gradually opened up. When the sky gradually brightened, everyone could no longer sleep. They all sat up and started playing cards again.

Ye Yaodong was half asleep and half awake. When the sun rose, he got up and went out to get some fresh air.

After the sun rose, there were scattered jellyfish on the sea surface every now and then. Now it was considered a peak season. Even if the trench was empty, there would be a good harvest by fishing on the nearby sea surface.

"There are quite a lot of jellyfish this early in the morning..."

"We seem to have sailed quite far, but no fishing boats have been seen..."

"The typhoon has been going on for so many days, the wind must have spread more widely, and the fishing boats in the surrounding towns are probably heading for the trench."

"We just saw some fishing boats passing by. There were clearly a few jellyfish floating nearby, but they didn't even look at them. They all ran forward. They must have gone to the trench, not caring about the bulk cargo on the sea."

"It's very likely..."

Ye Yaodong was thinking with his eyes on his chin. Although there are corresponding policy plans, they have not yet been implemented.

It will probably take half a month for the iron plates to be issued when they are really implemented. It will still be quite chaotic during this period.

"Let's cook, don't worry about them, we're going back anyway."

"It's a pity for us that no one is catching these jellyfish."

"It's not a pity, the money we should have made has been made."

"How much money did Adong make this trip?"

"Guess!"

Ye Yaodong left everyone guessing and went up to the cockpit to find his father, ready to take over.

Everyone is so simple and unpretentious. They just ask how much money the boss has made.

More than a dozen boats are sailing along the way. The Harvest is leading the way, and the other fishing boats are following behind. There is no need to think about the route.

A large group of fishing boats passed by on the sea, like a flowing oil painting. They arrived at the county town from dusk to afternoon.

Ye Yaodong discussed with the Harvest on the way. He planned to send all the newly bought boats to the shipyard for refurbishment and give his boats a series of numbers.

This is also the reason why he thought for a long time before he counted them clearly when Chen Shi asked him how many boats he had on the boat and wanted to rent one for his father and brother.

He also thought about sending these newly acquired boats to be painted and numbered. When they rent them, they will know who rents the corresponding boats. Otherwise, it is easy to get confused without numbers.

After all, he has too many boats now. There are 17 trawlers alone, and they can be numbered up to 17.

Father Pei also had no objection. It would be nice to refurbish the newly bought boats.

The other fishing boats followed them silently. Of course, they all listened to them. When they docked in the county, other boats also docked, and then they also learned from them to put the boats in the shipyard for refurbishment.

"Oh, I didn't think of that. If I had known that we would send the boats to the shipyard for renovation, I should have bought two more boats in the town."

"You wishful thinking. Do you think no one will know about the renovation? More than a hundred of us have seen it. Do you think it won't spread?"

"Yes, there are more than a dozen fishermen in the town on our boat. They all know it. If you dare to buy it, they will tell others as soon as they go home. See if you can still be safe? There are so many people going out, but only these 15 people come back."

When this is mentioned, everyone can't help but sigh.

More than a hundred people went out with great ambitions to make a lot of money, but in the end only 15 people came back, and they didn't even have a boat. It can be said that they were defeated.

And the dozen people in the town were excited because they were about to get home, but they suddenly became quiet again, with heavy faces. They didn't dare to call back until now, and they didn't know how to explain it at all.

Everyone called back in advance to inform that they were going home today, except for the 15 of them, who could not bear the consequences of other people knowing about the matter.

After handing over the boats to the shipyard, they set off again.

It was not until the sun was about to set that everyone finally saw the familiar town.

Ye Yaodong had already greeted everyone in advance. He had to dock in the town first, and other fishing boats could go back to the village first without waiting for him, as they were already in their own territory.

The fishermen in the town looked heavy-hearted, finally getting home.

As soon as the Dongsheng docked at the shore, familiar people looked at the people who got off the boat with surprise, and hurriedly pulled them to greet them, asking all kinds of questions. Some people turned their heads curiously to look at the Dongsheng, and they all felt that something was wrong.

"Hey, why did you come back on someone else's boat?"

"Where are the others? Why are you the only ones coming back? Where are the other boats?"

"How much money did you make? Didn't you say you would be away for two or three months? Why are you back in less than a month?"

Ye Yaodong ignored them. After everyone got off the boat, he immediately drove the fishing boat away from the shore and rushed back first.

It took more than half an hour to drive from the town to the village. The boatmen all leaned against the side of the boat, waiting to return to the village.

They were only ten minutes behind the other boats.

When they saw the village, the villagers had already run out, and the shore was full of people and boats.

This time, most of the strong laborers in the village went out. Basically, every household had relatives and friends, so that the entire shore was full of people.

"Finally home..."

"Haha, many people came out to greet us, it's a great sight..."

"It's better to follow Adong, we can earn money and go home early, no longer have to worry outside."

There was still a short distance to go, everyone stood on the fishing boat and waved their hands towards the shore.

The people on the shore were also waving their hands excitedly.

Ye Yaodong drove the Dongsheng to the side of the Fengshou, floating together in the middle of the sea. The younger brother at home had already prepared and drove the fishing boat to pick him up. It was high tide at this time.

He smiled and said, "Is everything okay at home?"

"Everything is fine. The village has been very quiet recently, even gossip has been reduced."

"Tie the boat behind your fishing boat and pull it to the shore."

Everyone was eager to go home at this time, and no one had the mind to row the boat slowly to the shore. It would be better to use a tow boat and tow it directly to the shore.

The shore was crowded with people, all talking around their relatives and friends. Only the people on their boat returned the latest. Many people were the first to return, and many people were particularly concerned.

"Why are only your boats back? Where are the other boats?"

"Yes, why didn't the other boats return? I thought everyone returned together."

"I heard that something happened on this trip. What happened? Did something happen to the others who didn't return?"

"No way? Did something really happen?"

The day before returning, everyone took turns to call home in advance to inform and briefly talk about the recent situation, but only talked about the recent typhoon, and did not dare to directly talk about being arrested and imprisoned on the phone.

This is a big deal, and the village will not be calm if it is said.

So at this moment, the villagers on the dock are still asking, and they don't know why only their boats returned and the others didn't.

Some of them didn't know what to say, after all, this matter is a long story, and so many days have passed.

Ye's mother also pulled them to ask the same question.

Father Ye was so ashamed that he didn't even dare to mention it. He just said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. We can't talk about it outside."

"Why can't we talk about it? Why can't we talk about it when the others haven't come back?"

Of course it was because he was embarrassed and couldn't talk about it outside.

Others were also making excuses, saying at most that they had to stay there to make money and were reluctant to come back.

"Why are others making money there, but you guys are coming back early?"

"I've already said that something went wrong this time."

"What happened?"

Father Ye was so angry that he jumped up and down when asked, and he went home first, ignoring him.

Ye Yaodong also said: "Let's talk about it when we get back. We've been sailing all day, and we're very tired. Let's talk about it when we get home. We'll move and sort out some things on the boat tomorrow, and now is not the time to do this."

Everyone had a tacit understanding.

Those who had been arrested were all afraid of being embarrassed, so they didn't say a word, and those who hadn't been arrested were also very respectful and didn't expose it in front of so many people.

"Let's talk about it when we get home. We're exhausted and hungry."

"It's hard to explain in a few words. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Everyone was curious, but they could only follow behind and ask when they got back, but they were whispering on the way, and their curiosity was aroused.

"Did those people die? They won't come back?"

"Bah... you are such a jinx, what are you talking about? If you say anything else, I'll tear your mouth to pieces."

"Then why haven't they called back in ten days or half a month? Those who came back didn't mention anything?"

"Something must have happened, otherwise why would half of them come back and half of them not?"

"Didn't they say they were still making money there? If they came back first, how could so many people die?"

"We'll know later..."

Ye Yaodong frowned.

Others said silently in their hearts that although not so many people died, there were indeed many who could not be caught, but fortunately it wasn't their village.

It's unknown how chaotic the town is now.

The word count has been improved
