Chapter 1131 Winner in Life

"What's the problem? I just know a few more people, and it just so happens that all my fellow villagers have gone abroad." Ye Yaohai said casually as if nothing had happened.

Ye Yaodong didn't ask any more questions seeing his pretentious expression.

Snakeheads are not easy to deal with.

Snakeheads are relative to the word "human snakes". "Human snakes" specifically refer to people who smuggle abroad.

They dare not go through normal channels, dare not walk on the road, dare not meet people, and only dare to follow the rugged mountain roads, or take advantage of the dark night, or curl up in the cargo hold of the ship, so they are called human snakes.

Snakeheads are the guides of these people, usually those who take the smuggled people out of the country and make money from it. These people generally do not buy and sell people directly, but only collect smuggling fees.

However, there are also some big snakeheads who also engage in human trafficking. They will commit fraud under the pretext of going abroad, applying for passports, and applying for foreign identities, and will not smuggle people to their destinations. Some will even kill people on the way for money.

This is much more powerful than a smuggler.

Smugglers only target goods, but snakeheads contact people.

I just don't know what role he plays in their team.

No wonder the people who receive goods at the dock are so secretive about him and are very afraid of him. They can't do anything about him even if he wanders around and causes damage.

And he ran to this dock to wait and receive goods, probably also role-playing. His main job is probably to arrange smuggling here, and the side job is to cover up the gains?

Ye Yaodong didn't understand it either, but smuggling definitely doesn't go out directly from this dock.

He sighed in his heart: Oh, it turned out to be a snakehead, a smuggler, which made him guess what he did before, and thought it was smuggling like in Linji.

It turned out to be a higher level. Others get goods in, but they smuggle people out.

It's really amazing. I have long known that the smuggling trend in this province is well-known, and even many industrial chains have been formed locally. Today he really met a snakehead.

Therefore, it indirectly caused that when ordinary Fujianese applied for foreign visas, they would often receive special attention, and the rejection rate was relatively high.

After being rejected, those who were unwilling to accept it often had no choice but to go through the route, so they fell into a vicious cycle.

However, the jokes were not the people, and the Fujianese's choice to smuggle also revealed a kind of helpless sadness.

Because of its poor geographical location, Fujian has always been mostly poor and bad, with limited natural resources.

As the saying goes, "eight mountains, one water, and one piece of land", there are few local development opportunities, so Fujianese are forced to go abroad to make a living. You must know that smuggling is a very dangerous thing, not as easy as traveling as many people say.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart. A Guang went with them. Could he be sold directly and never come back?

"Fuck..."

"Huh?"

Ye Yaodong was about to curse, but when he saw him looking at him in confusion, he immediately stopped.

I was thinking wrongly. Even if a big snakehead trades in human beings, he would not be so blatant. He would only do it secretly. In broad daylight, in front of everyone, Ah Guang followed his people and must be brought back safely. There is no need to think too much.

Moreover, this Ye Yaohai does not look like a big snakehead.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I just feel sad that there are no relatives of overseas Chinese in my family. If they return home in glory, wouldn't I be promoted to heaven?"

He slapped his thigh in regret, "Hey, why did my grandfather flee to the remote seaside? It would be great to go abroad with them. Wouldn't I be an overseas Chinese too?"

He pretended to be regretful, which made everyone laugh.

"If your grandfather had also gone abroad to work, you probably wouldn't be here."

"That's not certain. I might be even more handsome than I am now, and a famous second-generation, charming the big horses of various countries, leaving countless stars and sparks, and dominating foreign countries in the future."

There is a country in Europe, and there is a place where foreigners are known as descendants of the dragon. They celebrate Chinese festivals and hold them in a particularly grand manner, with a festive atmosphere more than in China.

That's the race left by our ancestors who came to Europe hundreds of years ago!

Ye Yaohai looked at him with a look of stupidity on his face, and could only half understand what he said, "You should still catch your fish. Maybe you can travel around the world by fishing."

"You have no sense of humor."

"Come on, come on, the wine is here. If there is no snack, just some peanuts and melon seeds."

"Brother, what did those overseas Chinese invest in when they came back? Specifically to build their hometowns?"

"Yes, some have been away for decades. It just so happens that in recent years, the country has opened its doors and welcomed overseas Chinese to come back to build their hometowns. Many people want to come back to take a look and contribute to their hometowns. As far as I know, repairing the ancestral hall , building roads and bridges, setting up factories, and building hospitals and schools. It all depends on the support policies of local governments. "

"That's great."

"Don't say there are no relatives of yours. There are relatives of yours among them. My father said that your grandfather sold everything in the family to support his elder brother to go abroad first, and then the younger brother stayed at home to wait for a few years. Who knew that there would be a famine, and they went out to make a living. There are also descendants of your grandfather's brothers who came back this time. When he opened the family to worship the ancestors, he invited your family to come. "

Ye Yaodong was confused and felt nothing. How much affection can relatives who have never met each other have?

After all, they are just strangers with blood ties.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

He just nodded casually, and then changed the subject, "Do they sell bags of ice water in the city?"

Ye Yaohai was confused by his out-of-the-box thinking and asked, "What kind of bag of ice water?"

Ye Yaodong heard someone selling popsicles in the distance, so he shouted to buy popsicles, and the other party hurriedly rode over on his bicycle.

He asked if there were bags of ice water, and the other party immediately provided it, asked him what flavor he wanted, and opened the wooden box on the back seat to get it for him.

I bought 10 of them at once, some with different flavors, some with the same flavor, and the table was filled with colors.

"Everyone has one to cool off on a hot day."

Ye Yaohai picked up an orange one casually, "Didn't this thing come out two months ago? It has all kinds of flavors, and they are sweet, some are sour and sweet, and they are quite popular with the children."

"What I want is this kind of sealing machine for bagged water, so I have to ask you to help me find out. Just based on my description, you may not be able to imagine it. If I show you this bagged water, you will know."

"That's true. What did you just say about the machine that seals liquids? I didn't even think of it after describing it for a long time. Show me this and I'll know what you want. Those people don't know when to leave. I’ll ask later to see if anyone has seen it abroad and knows.”

"Then please. Didn't they invest in building this and building that? How could they leave so quickly without saying they just came back?"

"Not sure, because some of them want to take their relatives and neighbors to go abroad with them. Overseas Chinese attach great importance to their hometown people, the relationship with relatives and friends, and the relationship with neighbors and relatives. When everyone sees their success, they want to take them out. Many overseas Chinese are happy to support people from their hometown and help.”

"Oh, then I can't get a visa, so I still have to worship Mazu. See you at the dock at night?"

Ye Yaohai pursed his lips tightly, and then smiled, "It's almost the same. If you can't take the normal route, then you can take the illegal route. I heard that the environment abroad is still better than at home. It is indeed better to go out to work than at home, and it is not easy to live in China. try to find."

"In recent years, after the country has opened its borders, the status of overseas Chinese has also been continuously improved. There should be more people going out, right?"

"almost."

"Pity."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that we lag behind for decades, but we will still catch up with other countries in the future. As the times develop, our country will shock the world sooner or later."

Ye Yaohai smiled and said nothing.

Ye Yaodong said again: "Tell me about the ancestor worship at the ancestral hall? What other relatives are there in my grandfather's generation? What's the situation like in my hometown?"

"Okay, it's just idle time anyway."

After having someone to entrust him with the matter, Ye Yaodong no longer had to run around to find out if there was such a machine, so he could sit at the dock and wait for A Guang with peace of mind, while chatting with Ye Yaohai about the situation in his hometown.

Although this person may not be a good person, at least it seems that he has no ill intentions towards them now, and they, the people of Fujian Province, attach great importance to clan, and they are also members of the same family.

Ye Yaodong just sat on the dock and spent the whole afternoon, even giving them dinner.

At the end of the whole day, I really saw them sitting there enjoying the cool air and swatting away mosquitoes. They were very idle, while other people were busy there, collecting and carrying goods away.

He looked at it with curiosity on his face, "Where do you transport all these goods?"

"Some are sent to some factories, such as fish canneries and food factories. Some of the larger sharks have people who specialize in receiving them to break down the various parts and then make related products. There are also some other fishmongers. Divide it up. Large quantities will also be sent to the aquatic products wholesale market, and some people will bring a cart to the towns to sell them for a day. Anyway, no one wants the fresh ones. Now people want to buy everything they see. "

He understands that after so many years of lack of food and clothing, it is natural hunger marketing, and there is nothing that cannot be sold.

"It would be great if there was cold chain technology. If we could transport a truck of chilled fish to all parts of the country, the demand for fish would be greater and the price would be higher."

"What is cold chain technology?"

"It means that in all aspects of production, storage, transportation, sales and before consumption, the specified low temperature environment is always maintained to ensure the freshness of things. If we could have this technology now, how could our seafood be sold only within a short distance? "

Ye Yaohai looked at him curiously, "Can you still have such technology?"

"I'm just saying that I hope it can happen. It should be possible in the future, right? Anyway, things are changing day by day."

"Brother, you still have some talent. After chatting with you for a while, I feel that my horizons have broadened and there are more things in my mind."

"Growing a brain."

"Hahaha……"

"Why haven't Ah Guang and the others come back yet? It's almost dark."

The goods nearby were being pulled away one by one, and some people were fetching water to wash the ground, preparing to close the door and go home.

"It's not that fast. Just wait. We won't go until noon. It will be dark going back and forth, not to mention he still has to inquire."

"Then you all go home first, I'll wait here."

"Let the others go back first. I'll sit here and chat. It's free anyway."

Ye Yaodong continued to chat with him. After a long time, the two packs of cigarettes in his pocket were almost gone.

The two of them waited until it was completely dark. He kept looking at his watch until 8 o'clock, when he heard the sound of a tractor coming from far away.

He stood up immediately, "Are you back?"

Ye Yaohai put out the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up, "It should be."

Indeed, the tractor drove directly towards them from far away, and then stopped in front of them. A Guang jumped out of the car immediately.

"I thought you were going to be made into a human meat bun. You haven't come back yet."

"It's a bit far. When I went there, I stopped and asked for directions on the way, which delayed me for some time. Fortunately, I found it. It's just that I troubled Brother Ye to accompany me for most of the day."

"Anyway, I'm free, so what's the trouble?" said the middle-aged man driving the tractor.

A Guang took out two packs of Chengfeng from his pocket and stuffed them into him, and also stuffed two packs into Ye Yaohai, "It's a bit late today. I'll treat everyone to lunch tomorrow at noon. Thank you, otherwise I might not be able to find a place after dark."

They didn't refuse, and smiled and took the cigarettes and stuffed them into their pockets.

"You're welcome. Two packs of cigarettes for lunch and two packs of cigarettes for dinner. I'm lucky."

Ye Yaodong said, "Since we've already done it, let's go find a guesthouse first. It's a little late, and there's no one on the road. You should go back and rest early. I'll come to see you guys tomorrow at noon, and then we'll go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Go ahead." Ye Yaohai said.

Ye Yaodong nodded and thanked them politely. He asked about the location of the guesthouse, refused their farewell, and then walked towards the city with A Guang.

What a joke, these people are doing the work of smuggling people. A Guang followed them in the daytime in full view of the public, so there's no need to worry too much. Now it's the middle of the night, forget it.

Although it's effortless to really deal with the two of them, just hit them with a stick and they can be kidnapped, but it's still a precaution.

It was pitch black everywhere, and there were not even a few street lights. Fortunately, they all brought flashlights, so the two of them had company on the road.

"Why don't you let them deliver it?" A Guang asked in confusion as he walked.

"Do you know what they do?"

"Aren't they collecting goods at the dock?"

"That's just an identity they use to cover up their identities. They are actually snakeheads."

A Guang looked at him in confusion, "What is a snakehead?"

"You don't know?"

It's normal to think about it. Ordinary people have never been exposed to these things, and the Internet is not well developed. How can ordinary people know what a snakehead is?

Ye Yaodong then explained to him what a snakehead does.

Ah Guang's eyes widened and he stopped, "Fuck, is this true?"

He shuddered after saying that, "I still followed him? You didn't even stop me? Fortunately, I came back safely. Aren't you afraid that I wouldn't come back?"

Ye Yaodong laughed and said, "I didn't know at first. I suddenly guessed it while chatting in the afternoon. But they don't look like big snakeheads. They should be decent snakeheads. They won't do human trafficking."

"Oh, I was scared to death. If I had known earlier, I would never have followed them. Fortunately, I am blessed with a good life. Mazu blesses me, otherwise your sister would be a widow."

"No, it's broad daylight, and there are so many people watching."

"Go, go, go, hurry up, don't just talk, go faster, and stay away first."

Ye Yaodong was pulled by him and could only trot faster.

When they walked to the street, it was pitch black everywhere. No shop was open. Except for the night watchman, there were probably only them on the whole road.

It was almost 9 o'clock, which was already late at night for people nowadays, and the nightlife hadn't started yet.

They walked for more than an hour before they saw the guesthouse. The city hadn't developed yet, and there were only a few main streets. They could find the place by walking around.

They had been here before, but he couldn't know the way to the guesthouse from every location. He just knew where the guesthouse was, so he also needed to find it.

After the two of them asked for a room, they asked for a few packets of instant noodles as a midnight snack, filled their stomachs, and chatted for a while before going to bed.

It should be said that they had just talked on the way, so they didn't talk much after arriving at the guesthouse. Everyone was a little tired after a whole day, and they were still sleeping on the boat in the early morning, so how could they rest well.

Ye Yaodong also told A Guang that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, and now he just had to wait for a reply.

The two of them had finished their work, and they also discussed inviting them to dinner at noon tomorrow, and then immediately bought tickets back to the city.

After arriving in the city, they had to spend another night and then take a bus to the county town. From the county town to the village, they had to change another bus. It was so troublesome and inconvenient to travel.

The next morning, they woke up naturally at 8 o'clock. After checking out of the room, they thought about it and did not go to the pier immediately, but walked around the city.

If they talked to them again at the pier, they probably wouldn't have to walk around the city.

Ye Yaodong was still thinking about buying dolls for his children at home. He tricked her into planting dolls, but she didn't plant them. He still had to buy some to make up for it.

And school was about to start. Let's see what the latest school supplies are and buy some to bring back. Although they are all poor students, it doesn't prevent poor students from liking new school supplies. They can take them to school to show off.

It would definitely be more impressive to say that I bought it in the provincial capital.

A Guang watched him buy school supplies frantically, thought about it, and bought a few too.

"Why did you buy these?"

"For my brothers and sisters, why did you buy so many?"

"Don't you think about it? I have so many nephews and nieces, and A Yuan is still at my house. I bought a little more and took it back to him to share. Oh, by the way, I'll make a call later. Anyway, I have to send A Yuan back to the city, so I might as well let the tractor at home take him to the city tomorrow and take us back, so that we don't have to spend a night in the city."

"So you bought so many calligraphy books?"

"No problem, let them practice calligraphy when they are free. It is said that the handwriting reflects the person, and the poor students write Can good handwriting also surprise people? "

A Guang looked at it with disdain, "It is estimated that it can still be newer than the textbooks after a year."

"It doesn't matter. When I send them, I will tell my sisters-in-law and ask them to urge them to complete it every day.

"You really love them."

"That's right. Although they are not my children, I also hope that they will become successful. Unlike you, you buy some comic book illustrations and affect their studies."

"Tsk~"

The two of them walked around for a while, and then went to pick toys in tacit understanding. They all picked pink and tender dolls that girls like.

Ye Yaodong saw that there were harmonicas for sale, and his conscience was awakened. He grabbed several more by the way, trying to get one for each person. If he didn't have the ability to play other musical instruments, he could still get one harmonica for each person to play with.

They walked around the department store and went to the Friendship Store, but this was just to broaden their horizons. They didn't have foreign exchange coupons, so they could only walk around and regret it.

"Let's go, we've almost finished shopping, and it's almost time. Let's go to the dock, treat them to a meal, and then go back directly."

"Okay, what a pity, the Friendship Store just now has everything, all so high-end and high-end. I really want to buy some and try the coffee and chocolate. Before, when I didn't have much money, I didn't even dare to step in. Now that I've stepped in, I can only look. How embarrassing, those salesmen are so arrogant, they think we can't afford it, ignore us, and roll their eyes, which is so infuriating. Seeing other people in suits and leather collars, they still look flattering, which is really disgusting."

Ye Yaodong also looked down at himself. He was wearing a ragged and gray work suit, and the Liberation shoes on his feet. He really looked like a country farmer, not as good as those people in suits and leather shoes in the Friendship Store just now.

Respect the clothes first and then the people. This really applies everywhere.

"Then when we go to the dock later, ask Lao Hai if he has foreign exchange coupons, and buy a few from him."

A Guang's eyes lit up, "Yes, they are snakeheads, so they must have foreign exchange coupons. Spend some money to get a few and buy some things. Since we are here, we have seen it all. By the way, let those people who look down on others open their eyes and see that we can afford it."

"They all look down on you, and you still provide them with performance."

It seems so?

A Guang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Ye Yaodong walked out of the door and walked directly to a rickshaw, "Take a rickshaw?"

"It must be. Who wants to walk in such a hot day? If you get heatstroke, you will lose half your life."

"Very good, the revolutionary front has reached an agreement."

"I walked all day yesterday and was exposed to the sun all day. I am going to be exhausted."

Ye Yaodong felt the breeze brought by the rickshaw running, which was slightly cooler. It was not so hot. It was really good to have money. You don't have to be stingy. You can spend money whenever you want.

It would be even better if you could become a capitalist.

Thinking in his heart, he also said with emotion: "It's great to have money!"

"Yes, it's great to have money."

"You still have to work hard to earn more."

"You have already earned a lot, it's my turn."

"You have earned a lot too."

"I can't compare to you, so-so, I still have to work hard, my father is old, now there are more people in the family, more than yours."

"That's right, your stepmother may give you two more brothers and sisters."

A Guang's expression suddenly became indescribable.

Ye Yaodong understood immediately and was surprised, "What? Really? I just said it casually, are you really going to be a brother again?"

"Ah..." A Guang had a complicated expression on his face and sighed, "I didn't know that I could be a brother in addition to being a father. My father is really awesome. I'm almost 30 years old, and he can still give me brothers and sisters and let me be a brother."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "Oh my God, I laughed to death. My mouth is really blessed. What I said casually really came true, hahahaha."

"Ah..."

"Your father is really amazing. He is still strong at an old age. How long has it been? It's been less than a month since he came back from Zhejiang Province? Oh, my god, that was conceived before he left?"

A Guang nodded inexplicably.

"No wonder your father's face is so rosy and he looks so energetic. I thought he was so happy because he had two grandchildren at once. I didn't expect that he would become a father again. After being a grandfather, he is also a father. Hahahaha, I admire your father. He is a role model for men in the village. Hahahaha, he is middle-aged and has a bulging wallet. After being a grandfather, he is also a father. Hahaha..."

Ye Yaodong laughed to death.

"You look happier than me. Do you want to be a brother too?"

"Forget it. If that happens, my mother probably won't dare to go out with her head held high. She might even eat my father."

A Guang shook his head and said nothing.

He hadn't planned to tell anyone, he felt embarrassed, and so did his stepmother, so they kept it a secret, and it was only in the past few days that the whole family found out.

In the whole family, only his father was very happy, and he wanted to tell the world, but his stepmother ordered him not to shout everywhere, so it didn't spread in the village.

Otherwise, such explosive news would have been known to the whole village in a short time.

Ye Yaodong also thought that Pei's father made a lot of money at this age, married a wife who was 10 years younger, and became a grandfather of twins. Now he is going to be a father. He is really a winner in life. He has experienced everything when he is old, and his life is worth it.

He patted A Guang on the shoulder, "Work hard, you have to work hard. In the future, you will not only have to support your son but also your younger brother. The whole family will rely on you. You are the eldest."

"Well, but my father said that they will depend on me anyway. He is old and may not see the children grow up. Anyway, he will definitely leave everything to me. He works hard now and let me take care of it in the future."

"That's right. Your stepmother and her family will rely on you, but Lin Jianshe is also grown up. It doesn't matter if they can support each other. Anyway, he should know that he brought them here and must work hard on his own."

Ye Yaodong thought about the current situation of A Guang's family. It was really complicated. If he had known that his father would marry another one, he would still have a stepmother, stepbrother, and biological siblings. I guess his family would not marry Huimei.

It's hard to say what's going on now.

But their family is living a good life, and their conditions are far better than those in the surrounding area.

"Well."
