Chapter 1172 Going Back

Several mackerel hit the deck, but everyone didn't react in time, and half of them were carried back by the sea water.

"Stop it..."

"Being brought back to the sea by the sea again..."

"Knock it to death first, then put it away."

Father Ye kept poking his hands excitedly, "Sckerels are good, they are also valuable, and they are not as big or dangerous as eels."

A few of them just came up, and everyone was able to deal with them quickly. It was a pity that they were taken back halfway to the sea.

There was no way. The bow of their boat faced the island and the stern faced the sea. Because the stern of the boat was flat, it was easier to launch the net, and the waves could easily come up. As a result, fish were also caught in the past few days. Of course, it was also easy to be caught by the waves. Take it back to the sea.

Ye Yaodong asked everyone to pack up the big mackerel and asked them to continue waiting slowly on the deck.

"It doesn't look like they were full of eels last night. Everyone was very tired in the early morning and slept there during the day. No one was there to watch, and I don't know what it was like during the day. Let's take a look later."

"Anyway, everyone has had enough sleep during the day. Just wait and see and collect as much as you can."

"Let's get a few hand-made nets. If a surge comes, it's easier to stop it with a net. It's hard to stop it with a stick."

"Then two people hold hand-written websites on both sides of the aisle. Be careful not to bring you in because the shaking of the fishing boat fails to bring the fish back to the sea."

"OK."

Everyone was wandering around on the deck a little bored again. Whenever a relatively big wave came up, everyone looked at it expectantly.

However, sometimes there were more fish, sometimes less, and sometimes none at all, so everyone rested intermittently.

I gained a lot until dawn, and it was very relaxing. It was more relaxed than the night before, and I didn't need to kill myself so hard.

When everyone was free, they also counted the number of baskets. Ye Yaodong also estimated that he would get about 200 pieces in one night, which would weigh about 5,000 or 6,000 kilograms, and could be sold for about 2,000 yuan.

After tasting the benefits again, he also left two people to work in shifts during the day, one to watch the morning and the other to watch the afternoon.

However, there was no harvest during the day today. This was already their third day at the island.

It's all a matter of luck, so if you don't encounter it, there's nothing to say.

At night, they found that the waves were not that big anymore. They were all gearing up to catch another wave tonight, but in the end they didn't see anything.

Standing at the stern of the boat and taking a look, you can indeed see fish in the water rising and falling with the waves, but most of them were not caught up. Occasionally, some fish hit the back deck and slipped into the sea again.

They only saw it a few times, made preparations, and had quick eyesight and quick hands to intercept a few of them.

There were only twenty or thirty items in one night. Fortunately, they were idle. It was better than nothing.

"It seems that the impact of the typhoon has been reduced, and the waves are not that big."

"I've seen the sea full of fish all night, but even if they haven't been caught, they can't reach them."

"Forget it, don't be too greedy. You can gain a lot from temporarily docking on the island these days, which is already good. Originally, we only planned to take shelter from the wind, so these are unexpected gains."

"So now, the waves seem to be smaller than the day before, and the waves are no longer as high as anyone."

Although it is not as tall as a human being, it is still over one meter tall, which is still quite big.

Ye Yaodong discussed it with his father.

"Everyone has been busy all night. We will have a meal and go to sleep later. Wake up early in the afternoon and take a look. If the waves become smaller during the day, we will sail back immediately. The waves are still quite big at the end of the day. of."

"Okay, let's wait until we get up from sleep. Anyway, it will only take about three hours to sail back. If it is affected by wind and waves, it will be slower, and it will take an extra hour or two at most."

"Then let's all go and rest first."

It was confirmed that the wind and waves had subsided, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had also stayed on the island for three days and three nights. Although there was work to do and no one to wait there, everyone felt like returning home.

There is never peace of mind at home when you are outside.

Ye Yaodong woke up at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He felt that the waves were slightly smaller, there was no rain anymore, and the sky was much brighter than in the morning.

He went to ask his father to discuss it again, but he was thinking of going back immediately. If he didn't go back, the goods in the fish warehouse would be ruined. In the afternoon, he saw that the waves were a little smaller, but three days had passed.

After the discussion was completed, he went to sail the boat and asked his father to tell the others.

As for this island, they didn't even think about going up there. After all, it had just rained and the rocks were very slippery. This stop was a blessing in disguise and they gained a lot.

The fishing boat had been docked in the col and did not feel much wind, but when it drove out, it felt that the wind and waves were not small. While driving, the waves on the bow of the boat kept rolling and poured into the deck from time to time.

Originally, the raised part of the bow was more than two meters above the ground, and the churning waves were much higher than the bow.

At this time, it feels like riding the wind and waves.

Along the way, the waves were extremely violent, and the fishing boat was swaying all the time. No one could stand on the deck, and everyone had to pull up their own beds in the cabin, otherwise they would be thrown around.

But everyone can only stay in the cabin and stabilize their bodies. Otherwise, if they go out, they will be thrown to the stern of the boat and fall into the sea.

The father and son also underestimated the waves, and the waves brought up by the fishing boat were even greater.

Father Ye wanted to climb up the rudder several times, but was discouraged by the shaking fishing boat. He could only look outside with worry.

Fortunately, after driving for more than four hours, the city's pier was in sight.

Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief. At least he saw the shore.

After the fishing boat docked, it was dark. There were rows of fishing boats of all sizes on the pier. The boats that went out probably went back. It was unknown whether the unlucky people like them were still at sea.

The shore was quiet at this time. Not to mention cars, there were no people, and there were even few lights nearby.

"We finally reached the shore, but what about our goods? There are no cars on the shore. In this weather, the drivers must have gone home early."

"It seems that there is no wind on the shore, and the ground doesn't seem to be wet."

"It was a typhoon day. Didn't you see that all the fishing boats have returned? I guess they all went home because they thought there was no business."

Ye Yaodong said, "You wait on the boat first. I will walk to the market to see if there is a car nearby."

"Ask someone to go with you. It's not safe to walk on the road alone."

"Okay, you guys cook something to eat on the boat first. There are waves all the way ahead. People can't stand steadily. I don't know how long we will be delayed later."

Father Ye nodded.

Ye Yaodong took Chen Shi off the boat first and went to the market with flashlights all the way.

Not only did the dock look not wet, they didn't feel wet when walking on the road. There was no mud on the country roads. It seems that it didn't rain at least in the past two days.

Sure enough, only the sea was affected, and the impact on the shore was not great.

It was quite far to walk. They landed at 7 o'clock and arrived at the market at 11 o'clock. The market was open at night. There were many tractors at the door. They both breathed a sigh of relief.

The market was operating as usual. It was good to have a tractor at the door. They just called a tractor to go and transport the goods. It was just right to sell them in the market.

After successfully solving the problem, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.

Ye Yaodong left his father and another person on the boat to watch the fish maw and the injured Aqiang. The other three followed him to carry the goods to the market to sell.

It was not until 9 o'clock the next morning that he came out of the market with money to find his father-in-law.

When Father Lin saw him, he immediately exclaimed, "Oh, why are you here? Ah Qing was so worried. She called me two days ago to ask if you had been to the city. There was a typhoon these two days. I heard that all the fishing boats had returned, but you just came back? Were you affected at sea?"

"We docked at the island in time. The impact was not big. We also got some unexpected gains. Nothing happened. I just sold the goods in the market. I called her back to report that I was safe."

Just after selling the goods, he thought it was eight or nine o'clock, and there were people in the village committee, so he immediately called back to report that he was safe. Ah Qing on the phone was so excited.

"I'm glad you're fine. There was no news these days. There was another typhoon at sea. Although there was no impact on the shore, who can say for sure what happened at sea? Your family was worried to death."

Ye Yaodong nodded and exchanged a few words, and Father Lin handed him the sales revenue for this period.

"Is the boat still at the dock? Are the waves strong? If so, stay in the city for another day? Go back tomorrow? Or let Xiangyang drive you back on a tractor?"

"Ah? Brother-in-law drives a tractor?"

Father Lin smiled and said, "He learned to drive a tractor from someone a few months ago, and also learned how to repair it. A few days ago, I asked him to buy a tractor and drive it in the city to transport goods. After all, there are many tractors transporting goods at the entrance of the market, and I think he can make a lot of money."

"Is that so? That's a good thing. When the time comes, let him go directly to the store to deliver goods. Good things should be kept within the family."

"Hehe, he is not familiar with the roads in the city, so he has to pick up more goods and run around."

"Anyway, it will be fine once the fruits are ripe. This is better than farming at home. By the way, what about the forests and land at home?"

"Many fruits are almost ripe, so there is no need to take care of them. His wife is still at home. When they are ripe, we can notify him to go back and pick them. We can also bring them here to sell. This year's fruits are all ours, and next year we will rent them to your uncle to take care of them, so they won't be left to waste."

Ye Yaodong nodded. It was rented to Lin's father's younger brother.

"That's good. When things settle down, the children can go to school in the city and get a better education."

"Yes, we poor families have to rely on education to get out of poverty."

"Since my second uncle has a tractor, please ask him to take me to the dock. It's more reassuring to have someone from my family take me there. There's another person on my boat who was bitten by a fish. I'll have to ask him to take him to the hospital later."

Ye Yaodong just thought about it temporarily. It was quite dangerous to ride the wind and waves when he came here. It's better to take it easy and go back tomorrow.

Today, send the injured to the hospital for bandaging, and then take the person back when we leave tomorrow.

The remaining two or three people can stay, including his father, who will stay on the boat to watch and stay on the boat for one night.

Lin's father didn't know, so he asked him and he told him briefly.

Then he didn't say anything, went out to look for it, and called Lin Xiangyang to take him to the dock.

Ye Yaodong felt that it was more convenient for his family to have a tractor. In this way, he wouldn't be afraid of taking someone else's car with a large sum of money.

On the way, he also chatted with his second brother-in-law and gave him some encouragement.

After returning to the ship, he told his father about the situation, and about his second brother-in-law. He also said he planned to hide the money first, and then take the people to the hospital.

It was indeed quite painful. I was injured for three days, but I couldn't walk because of the storm at sea, so I could only hold on. At most, I would change herbal medicine every day. Of course, this was not as good as regular hospital treatment, and it could still relieve the pain.

After re-arranging the patient's treatment properly, he accompanied the others.

The next day, when I saw the sun rising, I felt that the waves on the sea should be lighter, so I took the people and the prescribed medicine back to the dock.

At this time, there were still so many boats on the pier, no fishing boats went out to sea, and the pier was deserted.

It was already afternoon by the time they got home.

Lin Xiuqing was relieved when she received the call the day before. Knowing that they were in the city, there was nothing to worry about.

However, after he returned home, he was still surrounded by a group of people who asked him about his welfare. Even the neighbors came over and asked a few words of concern.

"You are very lucky, you can still find an island to dock..."

Father Ye was beaming with joy, "It's not just good luck. During the three days on the island, I kept a lot of fish on the deck. All the fish jumped up by myself. We were busy even at night. Not to mention how big the fish were..."

Father Ye has been chatting with the neighbors, bragging about the situation on the island these three days, and he is more excited than anyone else.

Ye Yaodong simply let his father brag, and went back to the house first, handed the money to Lin Xiuqing, and then told her about what happened at sea.

"We were worried to death at home. The old lady not only knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and prayed constantly, but also sat at the door and looked at the seaside. Fortunately, we didn't feel it at home. There was no strong wind. It just felt that the waves were a bit bigger. Otherwise, she might have been injured. Crying in advance.”

"I heard in town that some ships have not returned. Now that you are all back, I don't know what other people's homes are like. It's already November, and there's a typhoon. Who can prepare for this?"

"Besides, your ship has been at sea for several days as soon as it went out. There is no way to prevent a sudden typhoon, and the weather forecast is so inaccurate. Don't go there for so many days next time."

He nodded matter-of-factly, "When the fresh harvest ship is obtained next year, this ship will be handed over to others to drive. I will just drive the fresh harvest ship back and forth then."

When the time comes, bring a few more people, train them, and take them for a year or two. Then he will be waiting on the shore and send someone to drive the fresh harvest ship, so he doesn't have to take risks.

Now that Lin Xiuqing has more money on hand, she doesn't feel the need to work hard anymore, but she agrees with what he said. In the future, just ask others to do it. It doesn't matter if you spend more money or earn less, as long as people are safe.

"You go take a shower first, and then you can eat."

"Has your family been unaffected these past few days?"

"There was a light rain, but it passed quickly, and the temperature has dropped a little in the past two days. Oh, by the way, the invitation you kept talking about was sent two days ago."

"Sent it here, let me take a look?"

Lin Xiuqing rummaged through the drawer and handed him a red card, "They are all in traditional Chinese characters, do you understand?"

Ye Yaodong:......

You're looking down on people. If you don't know them in general, wouldn't it be better to just read half of them?

I’m half-guessing, but I still don’t know what to write?

"Isn't this written on the morning of the third day of November 1985?" Ye Yaodong glanced at her, "You're looking down on people."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, "Fortunately, you came back in time, so you can rest at home for two days."

"It's true that he came back in time and can rest at home. Aqiang's foot was bitten by an eel and he has been taken to the hospital for treatment. Remember, he will be paid his salary while he recovers."

"If he is raised for one year, we will pay him for another year?"

"Well, it probably won't take that long. It's been a 100-day stretch. Let's pay him the salary he deserves and pay for the medical expenses. Only in this way can someone work hard for us. Otherwise, we'll be scolded to death. It’s from a village.”

"All right."

"Has the Harvest returned?"

"They go out the same day and come back the same day."

"That's a shame. No wonder they didn't contact us. They probably found out there was no signal as soon as they ran out, so they came back immediately."

"That's it, you go take a shower first. I also have to go to the workshop to see if the people arranged by mother have processed the goods, and the fish maws you brought back. In the humid weather at sea, it will last for several days. It hasn’t been dried yet, so the quality is probably not good now.”

She locked the money for now, got up and walked out.

"There's nothing you can do about it. If you don't come back in time, the fish will stink. Wait for it to dry and check. If the quality is not that good, then keep it for yourself. Don't sell it. Just make up for it yourself."

Lin Xiuqing stopped as she walked out and looked at him in surprise, "There are so many. They can weigh dozens of kilograms when dried."

"A kilogram of poor quality products can only be sold for dozens of yuan. It doesn't matter if you save it and eat it later. Anyway, this batch of goods has been sold for several thousand yuan. The money you should earn has already been earned."

She thought about it and realized that it made sense. It was better to eat it herself if it was sold cheaply.

"Okay then, let's dry it and eat it at home."

"Well, this isinglass is suitable for women to nourish, so it's just right for you to eat."

She smiled, nodded, and went out.

While waiting for dinner, Ye Yaodong also told his father that he had received the invitation, which made his father panic and immediately stood up to look at the calendar.

"Fortunately, we are not late. We have made it in time. We have been thinking about the typhoon these days at sea and have forgotten about this matter."

"Well, you will go back and talk to your uncles and uncles and make preparations in advance. It is early morning on the third day of the next month. We must arrive in the provincial capital one day in advance."

"I see. Fortunately, new clothes and shoes are ready. The leather shoes you gave me before have never been worn. They are just in time to come in handy."

"Go buy some shoe polish and polish them."

Father Ye laughed.

Ye Yaodong just looked at the date and thought that it seemed to be the day for kelp seedlings. He thought that he had stayed at home for the past two days and thought that he might follow the boat to the breeding base tomorrow.

It was already four or five o'clock after dinner, so he didn't go anywhere.

However, he didn't go out, but his friends came to visit.

"Lucky and lucky? I heard that you turned a disaster into a blessing. You made a fortune even during the typhoon."

"Of course, I am a lucky man."

"Forget it."

"How much did you make this trip?"

"A few thousand yuan."

Not only did I make money on the island for three days, but I also sold the goods to the freshwater ship the day before. It was about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. It was indeed a big profit, much more than the normal trawling.

"A few thousand yuan?" Ah Zheng's voice rose.

"Speak softly," he said loudly, "It will indeed cost several thousand yuan. Everything costs money. In two days, we will go to the provincial capital to recognize our ancestors, which will also cost money."

A Guang asked hurriedly, "You are going in two days? How many days?"

"I'm not sure. I heard that there will be a three-day buffet. I don't know if I have to stay for more than three days."

"Oh my god, your ancestors are so rich? A three-day buffet?"

"It's not my ancestors who are rich, but my ancestors' descendants. I heard that many overseas Chinese contacted each other and came back together, and then donated money to repair the ancestral hall, the hospital, and the school. I heard that they also built bridges, roads, and factories. It's so glorious. It's just right for me to go and broaden my horizons."

A Zheng looked envious, "Do your ancestors still need descendants? Can I go to the buffet with you?"

"Your ancestors will probably jump up and beat you to death first, Only then can you reincarnate as the descendant of other ancestors. "

"Why don't my ancestors have such rich descendants for me to benefit from."

"It makes me want to smuggle to work abroad. I heard that if you make a lot of money, you can eat and drink well after going abroad. There are jobs everywhere in Nanyang, unlike here."

"First, you have to pay a sum of money to the snakehead; secondly, you have to ensure that the snakehead you find is reliable and will not kill you and sell you to QG; thirdly, you have to be able to sail for dozens of days and smuggle to that country safely; then, you have to ensure that you will not be deported back; finally, someone has to guarantee you a job and work for a few years before you can stay there. If there is a slight mistake in any link, the money will be lost, but the person will be lost. "

Several people shuddered, thinking that smuggling is not something that humans can do.

The risk is so great.

These days, people are either crazy and have no way out, or too greedy. They heard that working abroad is very profitable, so they want to take a chance to work abroad.

"Forget it, stop joking, everyone is living a good life."

Ye Yaodong nodded, those who dare to sneak out of the country are all brave.

"Hey? A Guang is the son-in-law, can he go? It doesn't matter whether he can enter the ancestral hall or not, he can go to the buffet." Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

A Zheng's eyes were also shining, "Yes, the son-in-law should be able to go to the buffet, right? The dishes at the buffet must be very good!"

"Damn, I haven't eaten anything?" A Guang looked at the two speechlessly.

"We are just asking for you. You can't miss the chance to eat for free. The food provided by overseas Chinese must be good, and it is to celebrate the completion of the ancestral temple."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "I don't know. Those who go should be from the same clan. After all, outsiders are not allowed to enter the ancestral temple. But it should be no problem to join in the fun at the gate or in the village and have a buffet."

"Forget it, I won't go with you. It's a big event for your ancestral temple. It's your first time to go."

"What a pity. If I had gone with you shamelessly, I could at least have a three-day banquet. Haha, it feels like I haven't had a banquet for a long time."

"Me too!"

Xiaoxiao and Azheng laughed in unison, sounding particularly happy.

"Isn't it easy to have a banquet? You spend some money to buy a table at Fatty's place, and we can go directly to eat." Ye Yaodong suggested.

Ah Zheng looked at his shameless face, "Bah, shameless, why don't you spend money, you have earned so much."

"Why should I spend money? I will be able to eat a buffet for three days soon, I am not greedy, if you are greedy, of course you spend money."

"Pull some."

"I'll ask Ah Qing to prepare a few dishes and put them at the door. Let's eat and chat, drink some wine, and the wind is quite comfortable now."

"Okay."

Lin Xiuqing was busy in the workshop with the fish brought back in the evening. When she heard Ye Yaodong sent the children to tell her to prepare a few dishes, he wanted to drink with friends, she didn't say anything and worked hard without complaint.

There were still a lot of goods that had not been processed, so she picked some fresh goods in the workshop and took them back.

The workshop was brightly lit, and the children at home liked to run over there to make noise, but they were not allowed to go in, so they could only play at the door, but they were also very satisfied.

The next morning, Ye Yaodong heard the noise in his ears before he woke up.

"Rainbow sweater~I want to wear a rainbow sweater~"

"No, no, I want a rainbow sweater~"

"I want a rainbow sweater~I want it~"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt the bed sinking again.

"What are you doing, so early in the morning..."

"You promised to give me a rainbow sweater, you promised, I want it..."

Ye Xiaoxi kept jumping and jumping, and wanted a rainbow sweater.

Lin Xiuqing was holding a big red sweater in her hand, and was standing by the bed. She wanted to catch her but couldn't. She jumped and dodged on the bed, shouting for a rainbow sweater while running.

Ye Yaodong still had a bad temper when he spoke, "You haven't forgotten yet, remember?"

"I remember, I want the rainbow sweater, I want it, I want it."

Lin Xiuqing was so angry, "I can't do anything to you when you are so young, what will happen when you grow up?"

"You promised, you promised!"

"Come here and die."

"No, I don't want this one, I want the rainbow sweater."

Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Yaodong and threw the clothes to him, "It's all your fault, why did you promise her this? There are two sweaters at home for replacement and washing, you can solve it yourself, you are making a fuss so early in the morning, I don't have time, I have to go to the workshop to check."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sweater thrown on his chest, and before he picked it up, his stomach was bearing the weight that it shouldn't bear again.

"Dad~you promised~you promised~"

"I want it, I want it..."

"Dad~put on the sweater...you will...come back~I want, sweater, rainbow sweater..."

This baby voice sitting on him and acting coquettishly, and hugging his neck and acting coquettishly, who can resist it?

He had agreed to it out of spite, and he couldn't be a parent who broke his promise.

He hugged the child, "Okay, okay, buy, buy... How come you have such a good memory?"

"I just remembered it when I woke up."

"It just so happens that I'm free today. I'll go to town to buy you some wool and let your mother knit it for you."

"No, she's so mean and fierce. If she wants you, you should do it..."

"I should do it? How can I knit?" He patted her little butt, "Don't make a fuss."

"No, no, I want you to do it..."

"If you want me, I can't do it either."

"You learn~you learn~"

"Be good, put on this sweater, I'll take you to town later, you can choose the color yourself, okay?"

Ye Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and she said loudly, "Okay, okay."

Finally, the topic was brought up.

Suddenly I remembered that it was my birthday after 12 o'clock, haha, I almost forgot.
