Chapter 1195: New Year's Break
The heavy truck was in front, and there was an engineering vehicle following closely behind.
The crowd exclaimed, and the children on the beach were so happy that they kept jumping and shouting. Fortunately, there was a group of uniformed Coast Guard and Ocean Bureau officers who helped to separate the crowd.
Ye Yaodong and his dozen or so people also helped to prevent the crowd from getting closer, especially those ignorant children, so that the two vehicles could drive closer.
When the car drove closer, several young men in green military uniforms got out of the car and shook hands with Director Chen and his team.
Soon they issued instructions and started to hoist the gray whale.
The spectacular scene attracted more people to gather on the beach.
They were all nearby villagers. When they saw the heavy truck and engineering vehicle, they knew something was wrong and ran out one after another, some of them still holding their bowls.
The scene was once lively and boiling, and there were reporters taking pictures around. Ye Yaodong also took two pictures. Fortunately, it was not dark yet.
After a while of busy work, the mother whale's tail was slowly lifted up, and the little gray whale also made a fierce cry at the same time, which made people feel that it was crying.
Ye's father sighed and shook his head, "Alas, the big one is dead, and I don't know if the little one can survive if it is dragged away."
"Let it be left to fate, it's just a fish." Pei's father said.
"Fortunately, we came in time, otherwise the tide will be full later, and we won't be able to lift it up. We have to wait until the tide goes out tomorrow morning."
Ye Yaopeng stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to watch the big whale being slowly lifted onto the heavy truck, "Is this little whale put in the big barrel on the car over there? It seems that there are some instruments in it?"
Ye Yaodong replied: "I don't know, I can't see it, and I can't get close now. Anyway, I will definitely try to save this little whale as much as possible."
A large group of people on the beach were all watching the big gray whale being lifted up, and everyone was amazed.
The big gray whale that was hoisted up was estimated to be several stories high. A child nearby tilted his neck to look at it and fell backwards.
"It's really big..."
"I know this fish is big, but it looks more spectacular when it's hoisted up. This fish looks like it weighs dozens of tons."
"It must be 20 to 30 tons, but we can't weigh it..."
The big gray whale was slowly hoisted onto the heavy truck under the attention of everyone, and then it was the turn of the small gray whale.
Ye Yaodong took the initiative to help with his people, and Director Chen also greeted them and let him help lift it.
When it was lifted onto the heavy truck, he also saw the rectangular container containing the gray whale, and it was also oxygenated. It looked like it should last for a few hours, so whether it could survive later depended on its skills and luck.
Director Chen smiled and talked to the people in green military uniforms. After they got off the car, he said a few polite words, saluted, and watched the two cars slowly go away.
The crowd also dispersed while walking and discussing, and went home. Only the people in their three boats and Director Chen were left standing there.
Director Chen turned to them and said, "It's getting dark, you should go back early. I will inform Adong if there is any news."
Ye Yaodong nodded quickly, "Okay, then we will go back first, and you should go home early. We have been delayed all day because of these two fish."
"It can't be said that we were delayed. Today was not in vain. Fortunately, no one was sent here casually. I came here to check it out. Then let's go home for now. The tide is rising, and your fishing boats can go out."
"Okay."
After saying goodbye to Director Chen and his people, there were only people in their three boats on the beach. As the tide rose, they could only go up first.
"What should we do now? Go home directly?" Ye's father looked at Ye Yaodong and asked.
Lin Xiangyang said on the side: "It's getting dark, do you want to stay one more night? Let's go home for dinner first?"
Ye Yaodong refused directly, "No, we've been delayed for a day. Let's cook something on the boat and wait for the tide to rise. If we stay one more night, we won't be able to leave tomorrow."
Father Ye also said: "It's the end of the year, you are all busy, we won't go there, we will go home directly, everyone is in a hurry to go back."
"Okay, then I won't keep you, you go back early, I will take Ayuan back early, it's getting dark."
"Okay."
After sending the two away, they also returned to their respective boats to cook and prepare dinner, and wait for the tide to rise.
Now the tide has not risen to the highest level, it is still rising slowly. Although the water level has risen, the fishing boat is still stranded and must wait for the tide to rise.
Everyone also took advantage of the free time to cook and solve the problem of eating. Of course, there was no less gossip.
Of course, the most talked about thing is the reward. Not only the boatmen are looking forward to it, but Ye's father is also looking forward to it.
A few days ago, he was not included in the newspapers and the commendation certificate, which made him regretful. This time, he was extremely looking forward to it. He would crawl over to ask Ye Yaodong whenever he had a chance.
Ye Yaodong was annoyed by his father. He repeated the same questions again and again, but his father was still nagging.
"Wait, it's your turn, it won't run away, it's not your turn, it's useless to chase and ask, and you're chasing me to ask, what's the point of asking me? It's impossible that the superiors didn't give you a reward, so I picked up a pen and wrote you a note and gave it to you?"
He couldn't stand his father's nagging and his attitude was not very good.
Ye's father scolded him, turned around and left angrily.
Ye Yaodong was immediately quiet, and he didn't care whether his father was angry or not.
Others also heard that Ye's father was scolded, and they didn't dare to ask again.
Everyone had a simple dinner, and when the tide was high and the fishing boat could move, they quickly drove out and went home.
Now it is almost midnight to get home.
When their fishing boat just entered the village waters, they happened to run into the boat that Wang Guangliang was collecting goods. They approached directly and then stopped the boat in the middle of the sea.
"Brother Dong, you're back. What a coincidence."
"It seems that you sailed back first, and we fell behind. We just met you now."
"It should be."
"Just go back. Your boat is full and can't hold our goods."
"Okay."
"Brother Dong, did you see any big whales when you docked in the city? I heard that someone dragged back two whales, one big and one small. They weighed dozens of tons and were taller than a building. The heavy trucks and engineering vehicles in the army were dispatched to transport them. It's awesome."
The boatmen smiled and said, "Aren't they us?"
"We dragged them back!"
"Didn't you go to see it? That's right. If you saw it, you would definitely know that it was our three boats that dragged it back."
Wang Guangliang and his group of people all widened their eyes.
"Fuck!"
"You towed it back? No way? Damn, we saw the heavy truck passing by us at that time, and we wanted to go and see the excitement, but there were a lot of goods to be weighed."
"What a pity, I wanted to go and see it at that time. If we had known it was your boat, we would have left one person to watch it, and the others would have gone to see the excitement first."
Ye Yaodong was very satisfied after hearing this. He was quite dedicated. He ran away without seeing the excitement.
"I took pictures, and I will develop them and show them to you later."
"It's a pity that we didn't see it in person."
"Hurry up and dock. It will take a long time to unload a lot of goods later."
Each of their boats also left thousands of kilograms of goods back, and they have to weigh them after unloading.
Usually, they dock during the day, but today there was an accident, and it was midnight when they came back. Later, they still have to call Ah Qing to weigh the goods.
Fortunately, they have enough manpower on the three boats, so there is no need to worry about unloading.
Lin Xiuqing was sleeping soundly when she heard the familiar knocking on the window. She had to get up and open the door.
"Why are you back at this time today? Isn't the market closed during the day?"
Ye Yaodong only said that there was an accident and asked her to take the account book and go to the workshop to weigh it. He waited for her at the door and then told her in detail while walking.
More than 100 baskets of goods were moved and lifted. Everyone was sweating in the cold weather in the middle of the night.
After handling the goods of several ships, Lin Xiuqing also learned what happened today from their chat.
On the way back, he was full of emotion.
"I didn't expect it to be a posthumous child... I don't know if it can survive now."
"We'll find a way. There should be a way with technology. It's better than releasing it back into the sea. It will die in less than two days."
"Then did you not go to the market to bring back the sales today?"
"I don't have time. I'll go tomorrow after I rest."
"It's already early morning. It's the 23rd day of the lunar calendar. Tomorrow is the Little New Year's Day. There will be markets everywhere these days. When are we going to close and rest?"
"The 30th this year is New Year's Eve. Otherwise, we can just work one more day and rest. In the end, the money that should be earned has been earned, and most people have prepared the New Year's goods in advance. Close the shop early and let your parents go back to their hometown to rest. It's just in time for them to go back to celebrate the Little New Year tomorrow. "
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "That's what I mean. They don't go back to their hometown many times throughout the year. They probably want to go back too."
"Okay, then I don't have to go out to sea anymore. Let's take a break for the New Year in advance. Tomorrow, I will calculate the wages of the boatmen and let everyone relax in advance. The weather is good this month, and everyone is working hard at sea, and there are no real days off. The other rented fishing boats, they have to continue to go out to sea , then we don't care, anyway, just wait to collect the rent."
"Yeah."
"Acai has someone collecting goods, let him continue to collect for a few more days, anyway, it's hired people to do it."
"Okay."
"Then I'm going to the city tomorrow, do you want to go with me? By the way, I'll buy some New Year's goods to bring back to your parents."
"That's fine."
"No, it's today."
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "I know."
Ye Yaodong stretched after entering the house, "I've worked for a whole year, and finally I can rest."
"I'll get you some hot water, you wipe it, and I'll make you a bowl of ginger tea, seeing that you can't talk You have a stuffy nose and sneezing, don't fall ill on New Year's Day. Do you want me to cook you some midnight snacks? "
"I'll cook some. It's really painful to go into the water in such a cold weather."
"Is there any reward this time?"
"I don't know. There should be some, but it's definitely not as good as the last time we got foreign spy equipment."
"Well, this time three boats are towing it back together, with more than a dozen people. There won't be too much reward. I guess if there is any, it will be for the captain."
"I don't know then."
After the two entered the house, the old lady came out of the house again with a cane while talking, and looked at Ye Yaodong helplessly.
I don't know how many times she told me that in the middle of the night, if she heard any noise, it must be him who came back. She didn't need to get up to see, but she didn't listen to a word.
As usual, she would get up to see if he came back when she heard any noise.
Ye Yaodong could only patiently let her ask a lot of questions, but she didn't go back to the house after asking, and she would sit there and watch him.
She only went back to the house when he went to sleep.
Ye Yaodong lay down, still thinking about the old lady's aged face.
Although sometimes I am annoyed by the old man's nagging, constantly circling around him and talking about a lot of random things, but that is also because I love him.
"Tomorrow I will go to the city and buy some tonic medicine to stew and nourish the adults at home. They haven't eaten anything good all year round. Take advantage of the New Year's break and take care of your health. You have to make money and take care of your health."
"Okay."
It's a pity that there are no physical examinations now. Who has time to go to the hospital?
The old lady has inconvenient legs and feet, and her body can't stand running around. She has to make herself sick even if she is not sick, otherwise she can go to the hospital for a physical examination.
Ah Qing also has to go for a physical examination. The cancer in his previous life has always been floating in his mind.
However, life has been good in the past two years. She is still very young now, only in her 20s, so there should be nothing. Wait a few years when the economy is more developed, and then all the examinations that should be done will be done earlier.
"Are the Angong Niuhuang Pills I bought two years ago still in good condition?"
"Yes, I put them in the drawer and kept them well. I don't usually open them. It should be better to keep them sealed there. Why did you suddenly ask about this medicine?"
"No, I just suddenly thought that the old lady seemed to be getting old again. Although birth, aging, illness and death are common to all people, it is better to live longer. At least the old people should enjoy all the blessings they should enjoy."
"Didn't you say that this medicine is very useful and has miraculous effects? Then it can help you in any emergency and make you feel less regretful."
"Well, go to bed, I was just talking casually."
Perhaps because of the stimulation of Lin Guangyuan almost falling into the sea, and seeing the whale fall and the birth of the little whale with his own eyes, he felt that life is sometimes so fragile and magical.
At night, the old lady surrounded him and asked about his well-being as she had for ten years, and he felt a little more emotional.
God still favored him very much. He gave him everything he deserved. In fact, he also had it in his previous life, but he didn't know how to cherish it. He should cherish it in this life.
He turned sideways and hugged Ye Xiaoxi, but then realized that he had been sneezing constantly and had caught a cold. He shouldn't get too close to her to avoid infecting the child.
"You lie in the middle, I'll lie outside."
"Why? Don't you like to lie in the middle and hug your daughter when you come back?"
"I have a cold, I'm afraid of infecting her, you lie in the middle."
"Okay, it turns out to be her biological child."
"Nonsense, she looks like me, of course she's her biological child."
"Speaking of biological children, a big thing happened in the village these days. Wang Chuyun and her son were kicked out of the house. Because her son didn't look like her husband, he was suspected of not being her biological child, and now it's a big deal."
"Oh?"
He knew about this. He knew in his previous life that her son was not her husband Li Dawei's, but it was not revealed until the 1990s, and then she was beaten and driven out.
At that time, her son was 18 years old, and the mother and son left together, which didn't cause much waves, and no one heard who the adulterer was.
She was also married for the second time.
In this life, she actually got together with A Wei. Was it because of this that she was exposed in advance?
He instantly became excited. Yellow melons are attractive, not to mention that they are different from the previous life.
He was a little curious about whose son's father was? He didn't know in the previous life, and he didn't know if it would be exposed in this life.
Lin Xiuqing also became excited. Gossip about other people's families, especially such explosive ones, would immediately make everyone excited.
"Then everyone was guessing whose son's father was, and they were secretly comparing who he looked like."
"Who did he look like?"
"You definitely wouldn't have thought of it. At first, no one thought so. Later, the more everyone thought about it, the more they thought that his son looked like Secretary Chen's eldest son, Chen Jiale, and looked like his grandson, A Bin, and the two were only two years apart in age..."
Ye Yaodong was slightly surprised, and then he understood.
Sure enough, things are not groundless.
In the previous life, there were rumors that Wang Chuyun and Chen Jiale were having an affair, but at that time, they were just dating, but the Chen family looked down on the Wang family and disagreed, so they got married separately.
Thinking of Wang Chuyun's son being two years younger than the grandson of the Chen family.
It is estimated that after becoming a widow, she rekindled her old love with Chen Jiale, and a pretty widow can't stand loneliness.
Lin Xiuqing continued, "These past two days in the workshop, the women were all saying that Wang Chuyun and Chen Jiale had been dating a few years ago, but Secretary Chen disagreed because the Wang family had a bad reputation."
"Now everyone is saying that she either had an affair before marriage or after becoming a widow, and they are all calling her a vixen."
"But they are all from the same village, and no one has reported her for being an adulterer. During this period, she has been beaten badly by her husband. I heard that she wants to escape every day, but she can't."
"Now she can't wait to take her son away."
"It's just that Secretary Chen's family has been a bit ugly recently. Li Dawei has been coming to make trouble, but Chen Jiale has not admitted it. But I don't know if they have reached any agreement. Since yesterday, it has been quiet again. I heard that Wang Chuyun divorced and took her son back to her parents' home."
Ye Yaodong felt that this drama was very exciting, and he couldn't help but admire this woman. With her own strength, she has disturbed the peace of several families.
Now she is having an affair with Awei, which is really restless. This kind of woman really shouldn't be touched.
"But now I heard that Li Dawei's father is also a piece of shit. When his son was not at home, he wanted to do something to Wang Chuyun. Now the father and son are at odds, and his father was beaten by him."
"Recently, the things about their family have been so exciting, one after another."
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "Isn't Ah Wei back?"
Lin Xiuqing immediately thought that Wang Chuyun and Ah Wei had also communicated unclearly some time ago.
"No, I don't think I dare to come back to celebrate the New Year. How shameful. Last time, because the 5,000 yuan turned into 50,000 yuan, I couldn't get it out, so I ran away overnight in despair."
"It's a pity. There will be more fun to see when we come back."
"It's not that easy to get over. Old lovers, new lovers, and ex-husbands, my God, it makes me so confused just thinking about it. How can such a woman exist?"
Ye Yaodong pulled the quilt over her and patted her, "Don't worry about her. If you have a broken shoe, whoever gets it will be unlucky. Go to bed early. It's very late."
Lin Xiuqing turned to look at him, "Has she ever hooked up with you?"
"No, I'm so busy every day that my feet never touch the ground..."
"Then Wang Lizhen can still seize the opportunity to seduce you."
Ye Yaodong was speechless.
"Don't scratch all the dirty and smelly things on my body. Isn't it disgusting? Having Wang Lizhen is disgusting enough. Adding Wang Chuyun to the mix will let people live."
Lin Xiuqing was immediately amused by him.
"Who made you so famous and rich now? You are so good-looking. There must be many people who want to throw themselves into your arms. You often go out and are not in the village..."
Ye Yaodong felt happy when he heard this, "You just need to know the goods, be nice to me, be obedient, and love your husband. I'm so rich now, and I will definitely rest at home during the Chinese New Year..."
Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "What's wrong with resting at home? Do you want to give other women a chance by resting at home?"
"Hiss... how is that possible? I'm just telling you that I want you to feel a little bit in crisis and be nicer to me. I'm loyal. Wild flowers are not as good as domestic flowers."
"Hmph, sleep."
Ye Yaodong watched her turn away and murmured in a low voice, "A woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea. This sentence is indeed correct. The heart is really smaller than the tip of a needle."
"What did you say?"
"Ah, nothing!"
He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Early the next morning, when he woke up naturally, the village had begun a new round of praising him.
They praised him for his good eyesight and dragged a large whale back, but it turned out that there was still a small whale in its belly. They rescued a small whale and then alerted the officials, who dispatched heavy trucks and construction vehicles.
It won't be long before he will definitely be praised and rewarded again.
As long as you follow him, you won't have to worry about making money or becoming famous.
This also resulted in that as soon as he walked out, a bunch of people asked him if he had any new boats and if he needed a boatman.
Some other villagers also came to his workshop to ask for work.
He always smiled and refused, and only said that if necessary, he would give priority to the villagers of the village. This gained a lot of reputation, and the villagers of the village spared no effort to praise him.
Ye Yaodong went to the workshop and took the lead in inspecting the goods brought back yesterday, and they were all being processed.
He went to the fish sauce place to check the amount of fermentation, and also to see how much bagged fish sauce was produced.
He plans to step up production now before the end of the year and put it all into the market after the end of the year.
After all, he is engaged in wholesale. If there is not a large quantity, the stock will be out of stock all of a sudden. There must be a time buffer to prepare a large amount of inventory before putting it on the market.
The corner of the room where the machine was originally placed is now filled with baskets of fish sauce, numbering at least 10,000 to 20,000.
"How many can we produce every day now?"
"If you don't work at night and have a rest, if you work during the day, the number will be two to three thousand a day. Now there will be more skilled workers."
"That's not bad."
One ton a day, 10 tons in 10 days, 30 tons in a month.
Now we receive about 10 tons of goods every day, and then we will produce 4 tons a day, which will not be enough.
However, what is being produced now are all real high-quality products. They can be fermented again in the future, which is quite cheap. After fermenting 10 tons to produce 4 tons of goods, they can continue to be reused to produce 20 tons, which is really a huge profit. .
You get what you pay for, let the market choose, and you can’t blame him for his bad intentions. This is how making money is, make less in the early stage, build up your reputation, and then you can make a lot of money in the later stage.
"Brother Dong, do you still have anyone on board?"
Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "That's enough, no need."
"If necessary, can you give us priority?"
"Don't you want to do such an easy job? You still want to go to sea with me."
"The main reason is that going to sea with you is so exciting. I always encounter all kinds of good things, and I also make a lot of money. Everyone is envious."
"Don't be envious. High wages come with high risks. The work now is so easy, with no exposure to wind or sun. Be honest. No matter how many people want to do the work you do now, they can't."
"That's true. I really don't want to let others do the work at hand."
Ye Yaodong smiled and ignored the two people working, but continued to inspect the fish sauce.
Throughout the whole day, it was rare for him to wander around leisurely.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the village committee after chatting, he ran into a fat man who was humming and walking in front of him.
It takes no effort at all.
Seeing an old man sitting at the door basking in the sun and twisting a hemp rope, he happily borrowed one from the person, then went up to get the hemp rope and tied it in front of the fat man...
"Who? tdwho?"
The fat man struggled to look back, but Ye Yaodong tightened the rope and kept hiding behind him.
"I dare to touch your fat boss in broad daylight..."
"Td, come out... who are you, you bastard, why are you hiding, motherfucker..."
Ye Yaodong cursed back, "Fuck motherfucker! You are such a big shot, the fat boss is shaking, and all the buddies are cursing."
"Suzuki, you want to die, you tied me up for no reason and scared me, I thought someone was going to kidnap me, you wicked bastard."
"Are you a scallion? Are you afraid of being kidnapped?"
"What bullshit are you talking about? You suddenly tied me up with a rope, I was scared, I took the wrong medicine, damn it."
"Isn't it because you are fat again? I'll tighten your skin for you."
The fat man was so angry that he snatched the hemp rope from his hand and whipped him.
Ye Yaodong was not careful for a moment, and he really got a beating.
"Fuck, are you serious..."
"Since you're serious, I'll be serious too. I'll let you be so wicked that you'll scare me."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Ye Yaodong jumped up and down, dodging everywhere, cursing angrily.
"Don't run..."
"Hey, hey, hey...my hemp rope...you have to give it back to me..."
The two chased each other and made a lot of noise before they stopped and returned the hemp rope to the old man on the roadside.
"Hehe, young people are full of energy."
Ye Yaodong put his hand on the fat man's shoulder and panted, "I'm sure you are a flexible fat man."
The fat man's elbow hit him in the chest, "When did you come back? Did you take a break for the New Year?"
"Almost, did you take a break for the New Year too?"
"How is that possible? Business is booming during the New Year. My wife even said she would work until the 29th of the New Year."
"Your wife is really hardworking."
"Ah..."
"I have a business idea that can make money. Do you want to do it?"
"Get lost. I won't do it. You've screwed me over. Now I can't even have a good New Year."
Today I ate the monthly ticket list all day, hahaha. I saw the new monthly ticket list at 10 o'clock in the evening. I was so excited that I affected my typing. I updated it late. Forgive me.
All the votes on the list are gone. The monthly ticket list has been updated again.
