Chapter 1230 He Was Surprised
Lin Xiuqing asked him as they walked, how was the application report she had to write to the city to apply for a visit to the research institute and to apply for species suitable for local breeding?
Ye Yaodong was worrying about how to write the application report, and her words directly solved his worries.
He immediately told her the matter, and then happily took her hand, "Wife, this matter is left to you. You write it tonight, and I will go to the city to hand it in tomorrow."
"Ah? What?"
"Well, it's settled, the matter is left to you."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised and wanted to break free from her hand, but was held tightly, and he put it to his mouth and kissed her, which scared her again.
"What are you doing? How can I write it?"
"Why can't I write it? Isn't it simple? I've been telling you all along, and you know it clearly. Just express it better, with clear logic and in written form."
"You are so clear and capable, why don't you write it yourself?"
"I can't. I can only talk but not do. You can organize the sentences and try to write it."
"Then how should I write it?"
"Don't you know what I've been talking about these past two days? Oh, I'm so tired. Go back and eat. Think about it."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the empty hand that was thrown away and stared at the back in front of her. She was a little annoyed. She just listened for a few times and didn't know anything else. How could she write it?
She trotted after him, "Can't you write it yourself?"
"My handwriting is not good, and I don't know how to write. You can write it for me. Anyway, it's not very formal. Submit it to my godfather first. If you submit it, it must be polished and written more clearly."
"Or do you want me to write it?"
"Okay, then you organize the language and I will tell you to write it."
"Okay. You should practice your handwriting quickly. You can't ask me to write everything for you in the future, right? You have to go to the Party School every now and then. If you practice your handwriting well, you will definitely have to write political reports frequently."
"Got it. I will write with you later. I will practice my handwriting while you write the application report. By the way, I will tell you what to write in the report."
"That's better."
The couple were a little nervous about the application report. After all, it was their first time to write it, and they didn't know how to start.
When Ye Yaodong was eating, Lin Xiuqing had already laid out the paper and pen, and then stared blankly at the blank notebook.
"What should I write at the beginning? Hello, leader?"
Ye Yaodong hesitated, "Or respected leader, hello?"
"Okay, then what?"
"I'm going to eat, you write yours first, and after you finish, I'll see if there's anything to add, and then we can revise it."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the blank paper with a headache, and could only improvise on her own. Fortunately, she had been to school for a few days and had written a short essay.
"It's really troublesome, why not just let the leaders write it? You'll say it anyway."
"You're stupid, I proposed it, and I submitted the application report. What if the superiors approve the visit and research, and then apply for aquaculture, and finally have a bumper harvest, just like kelp, it will bring benefits to all farmers and promote the city's economic development. Isn't this a great achievement? Then I, the chairman of the Fisheries Association, Ye, will be worthy of the name?"
Lin Xiuqing was stunned when she heard what he said, and she also felt that it made sense. She stopped talking nonsense and immediately became serious.
This is related to her husband's reputation and merit.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong also took a pen and paper to practice calligraphy. The couple sat in the main room and wrote under the light, which shocked the three siblings who ran back to the house to drink water.
The three of them ran into the house one after another, then stopped and stood in a row.
"What are you doing? Big brother?"
"Brother?"
Ye Chenghu walked over curiously, "Dad and mom, what are you writing?"
"Go away, don't make a fuss."
"Don't bother, get out of the way..."
Ye Chenghu flattened his mouth, "So fierce!"
Lin Xiuqing was worrying about how to write? The three little ones stood in a row next to her, from big to small, staring with their heads stretched out, and couldn't be driven away.
She grabbed Ye Chenghu, "If you don't want to leave, then stay and write another page of big characters for me."
"What!"

Ye Chenghu was frightened and turned his head to run, but his clothes were caught.
"It's too late, dare you run?"
He could only stand there with a bitter face, waiting for Lin Xiuqing to bring him a calligraphy book and a pen.
Ye Chengyang turned around and ran away.
Ye Xiaoxi stood on tiptoe, reaching the edge of the table with both hands, looking at Ye Chengyang who had already run away, hesitated for a moment and still didn't run, tilting his head to look at Ye Chenghu's wrinkled face.
"Brother, are you going to cry?"
"It's none of your business."
"Brother, don't cry."
"I'm not crying."
"But you're about to cry."
"I'm not crying." He shouted even louder.
Ye Xiaoxi shrank her neck in fear and whispered, "Then you don't cry, do you love doing homework?"
"You're so annoying."
"You're the one who's annoying."
Lin Xiuqing put the paper and pen on the table and urged, "Write a page neatly before you leave, or you'll stand in the corner until you go to bed and then go upstairs."
Ye Chenghu hesitated for a while with the pen in his hand, weighed the pros and cons, and thought that he should finish the homework quickly so that he could run out and play for a while, otherwise he would have to stand until he went to bed, which would be too miserable.
The family of three sat on three sides of the round table, and there was also Ye Xiaoxi, who watched them writing curiously the whole time. She would move to another position after watching for a while, and kept asking questions.
"Brother, you write so slowly..."
"Mom, what are you writing, so many words..."
"Dad, why do adults still have to write?"
"Dad, do you want to go to school too?"
"Brother, do you want an eraser?"
"Mom, you are so good... so many words... the more words, the better."
The three of them were annoyed by her one by one, and they all wanted to slap her head on the table, and they couldn't drive her away.
Ye Yaodong looked at the little head beside him with a headache, her chin was still on the table, her mouth was open and closed, and he was worried that her chin would be worn out.
Later, he still gave her 5 cents and asked her to go out to find Ye Chengyang, and let Ye Chengyang take her to buy food. Then she ran out happily, and the room became quiet.
Ye Chenghu listened to them all going to buy food, wrote a quick and perfunctory one, threw the pen, and ran out immediately.
The couple was too lazy to care about him at this time.
Lin Xiuqing was thinking while writing, and she was also making corrections. She was the last one to finish, and then showed it to Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong looked at the list and it seemed that everything was written. The suggestions were written in detail, and the kelp harvest in the village was also written. It was clear and well-organized, and the main point was well-reasoned.
He said happily: "Okay, it's well written, just copy it again, don't make any corrections."
"Then you copy it, anyway, it's all written for you."
"You write it."
"Is it your job or my job? It's all written for you, you just copy it."
"Okay then."
Ye Yaodong sighed, took the list with a deep hatred, and continued to work hard.
Forget about working, I didn't expect that he would also have to do the writing.
Fortunately, his handwriting has improved a little during this period, at least it can be seen by others.
After copying the list, he was so tired that he went to sleep directly.
He also had to count the money, which he handed over to Lin Xiuqing. This was also a big project. He was tired of counting now and didn't want to count at all. As long as Ah Qing finished counting, he would report the number to him.

The next morning, Ye Yaodong took Chen Shi out to sea to collect longline fishing.
After a whole day, the harvest was very average, with only a 40% fish rate. A small part of them ran away after biting the hook, some could not be pulled up, and some had no hooks. He thought that the ones that ran away were probably big and the hooks could not be hung.
However, this harvest was too bad, not as good as last year.
After all the longline fishing was collected, he estimated that there were only about 600 to 700 kilograms. The catch was large and small, with various fish, including a relatively good blue grouper, and 30 large squids weighing two kilograms, but overall the harvest was not very good.
After collecting the longline fishing, he continued to collect the 6 rows of ground traps and 4 shrimp cages left over from last year.
I don’t know if I should say that he was unlucky. He put down so many, but only collected three shrimp cages.
I couldn’t collect a complete row of ground traps. I could only collect two or three nets before they got stuck. You know, there are 10 nets in a row of ground traps, which is equivalent to the annihilation of the ground traps.
I didn’t put it here before, and it didn’t work.
Ye Yaodong thought it was normal at first, until he tried all the buoys and found that he could only collect two or three at most before they got stuck. He cursed.
"Fuck, what's going on? It never happened before."
"Brother Dongdong, why... are all dead..."
"How should I know? You ask me, who should I ask? There were never so many dead fish before, and I thought it would be the same as before, but I didn't expect that all of them were wiped out."
The three shrimp cages that were collected only caught one small blue dragon, no sea cucumbers, and not many fish or shrimps. All six rows of ground cages were wiped out.
Looking at the dismal harvest, he was a little bit unbelievable.
There were obviously many small blue dragons and sea cucumbers here last year. He could still see small blue dragons hiding in the cracks of the reefs when he went down to the bottom of the sea. It was not easy to catch them, but he could catch a few.
The same goes for sea cucumbers. If you put 6 rows of ground cages down, you can catch at least a dozen.
Now they are almost wiped out.
What's going on?
It's only been more than a year since I put the nets here, why is there such a big change? It's not that time has changed and the terrain has changed.
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Get ready and take turns to go into the water. If we can get rid of the ones stuck on the bottom, that's the best. If we can't get rid of them, we can take a look at the situation. Only after we understand, can we decide whether to come here to put the ground traps tomorrow."
"I got it... I got it... I still don't have ground... ground traps. Let's put them in..."
"Shut up! No one thinks you're dumb if you don't talk."
Ye Yaodong was a little angry and embarrassed. What a truth he said.
But it's really stuck on the bottom. If he doesn't get it out, he won't have ground traps to put in tomorrow. What's the use of three shrimp cages?
I have to put longline fishing honestly.
As for the small blue dragon and sea cucumber, I may have to go down and catch them myself.
What bad luck!
He was very depressed. He never thought that the ground traps could still get stuck on the bottom.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have put them down.
He thought it would be the same as last year. If he was lucky, he might not get stuck on the bottom after a few days of harvesting.
Maybe he could wait until he had finished his work with the kelp and had some free time before going into the water to check the abalone and see if they had reproduced and grown again after two years.
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
Ye Yaodong took off his clothes first and went down first, letting Chen Shi watch from above. After all, he was more familiar with the bottom, and it was not very deep. He should be careful and go down a few meters first, not to the bottom, and it would not be a big problem.
Today the sun was abundant and the light was good. He could barely see the scene below after going down a few meters.
But when he slowly went down into the sea, he was stunned after only going down four or five meters.
There was a large area of densely packed traps below, hanging all over the reefs and swaying with the waves, like a series of lanterns.
And each trap was full of fish, shrimps and crabs, and some were filled with a lot of small green dragons. He was even more shocked, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't even get close to the reef because it was blocked by the traps.
Many traps were intertwined and intertwined, and each one was full of goods. Except for some damaged traps, which had less goods, the others were really full.
How long have these traps been hanging on the bottom of the sea?
Please turn off the browser reading mode to view this chapter, otherwise you will not be able to turn the page or the chapter content will be lost.
Looking at the full and short goods inside, they must have been hanging for a long time.
And these intertwined ones must not have been put down at the same time, but were put down one after another, and then entangled together, so they couldn't go up.
Damn...
He didn't care to look at the goods in these traps, thinking about continuing to check the side and the bottom.
They all came down, so he had to understand it more clearly.
He swung to the side, found a slightly more open position, and swam down another four or five meters.
The scene on the seabed shocked him even more. A large area of traps, at least hundreds of them covered the seabed, pressed on the seaweed, and all swayed in the same direction with the waves.
On top, some of the fish were already dead, densely packed in the ground traps.
Except for a few ground traps that were still empty, there were only a few scattered fish on the top, and he could recognize that these should be the ones he put down yesterday, and they were also entangled by other ground traps.
He looked around, found an empty place on the seabed to stand, picked up a ground trap at his feet, and saw that several sea cucumbers were still alive.
Extorting natural resources.
These ground traps could not be closed, and the fish inside could only be stuck inside and wait to die.
He cursed in his heart, turned around the seabed again, understood the situation, and then walked around the ground traps that were swaying with the waves and went up.
No wonder when he was reeling in the longline fishing before, there were many hooks that could not be reeled in.
He and Chen Shi, the useless man, tried their best to reel it in, and there was no sign of struggle. He almost cut his hand, so he could only use scissors to cut the branch line and give up.
At that time, he thought the hook was stuck on the bottom and caught something, so he couldn't pull it up. If it was a fish, it would definitely struggle and react.
This hook was a trap, how could it react? It couldn't be pulled up, now the case is really solved.
After surfacing, he found that he was a little far away from the fishing boat, so he swam towards the fishing boat again.
"Brother Dongdong...what's wrong?"
"Damn it, there are traps all over the bottom, densely packed with traps, at least hundreds of them."
"Huh?"
"Huh? Pull me up quickly, I'm almost mad to death, it must be those two idiots."
When he saw the traps in the water, he already knew who did it.
"Who...who?"
"Besides Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao, who are the other two idiots?"
"How...why?"
"Why not? I was the one who led them here at the beginning, and asked them to help me collect Jiang Yao around and share the spoils together. They also knew that there were small blue dragons and sea cucumbers underneath."
"Since I got the Dongsheng, I haven't been trawling in the near sea. This area is now empty, shouldn't they use it? Come and try your luck?"
"Damn, those two idiots don't have their own diving equipment. If the traps are stuck on the bottom, they can only give up. But they can't bear to give up the sea cucumbers and small blue dragons below, so they can only keep making traps and putting them down. As long as they can catch two or three, it's enough. . "
"How could I not know those two idiots? That's why there are so many traps under the ground."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help cursing, "Idiots, so stupid, they really surprised me, but they didn't even tell me."
"Oh...then...what should I do? Should I...go down?"
"No need, I've already seen it, and it's enough to know what's going on under the ground. It's a huge project to fish out so many traps under the ground, and it won't be finished in a short time, and we can't do it with just the two of us."
"Wait until I deal with the kelp, and when the Dongsheng comes back, I'll call a few more people to go into the water to salvage those traps, those two idiots..."
Ye Yaodong cursed angrily.
But cursing aside, there are benefits to collecting these traps, and of course the goods belong to him.
Looking at the full traps, each one has a small green dragon, and there are sea cucumbers hanging on the bottom of the sea, although some are dead, but there are also alive ones.
When he collects hundreds of traps from below, he will make a lot of money, which will be a turn of events.
He thought that his luck was too bad today, the longline fishing yielded average results, all the traps were wiped out, and there were few shrimp cages, which made him feel very disappointed.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a reversal. Those two fools made a fortune for him.

It really is.
If you don’t go down to see it, you won’t know. But if you go and see it, you will be shocked.
Wait until he collects all the cages underneath, and then laughs at them for making wedding clothes for him when he returns.
"Then...go back?"
"Go back, you really surprised me, those two guys..."
Ye Yaodong was indeed surprised and happy.
He hurriedly went to change clothes. When he went to sea today, he thought that he might have to go into the water. The ground cage might hang on the bottom. By the way, he also wanted to see if there were abalones on the reef, so he also prepared an extra set of clothes and could change them temporarily. .
I sneezed twice and changed my clothes before I felt warm again.
On the way back, I had already seen two fishing boats trawling in the distance.
He scolded the two idiots again.
After docking, he asked Chen Shidu not to tell anyone about the underground cage.
He would free up his hands in a few days, and secretly ask a few more people to put those cages up. Anyway, they are all hanging underneath, and they won't be able to escape after such a long time. So he did it slowly.
Ah Cai knew that he had gone to harvest the longline this morning and would come back immediately after harvesting. He was already waiting for him at the dock.
"The harvest is good. How many baskets are there? There are hundreds of kilograms."
"In general, just so-so. Hurry up and get weighed. I'm still in a hurry."
"I know you are a busy man, so I will weigh the goods for you right away. You came back early. There are no other fishing boats at this time. There is no need to wait."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong turned around and told Chen Shi to go to the workshop to send a message, asking them to load the kelp into the truck according to the load he requested yesterday. The top must be covered with kelp, and he would set off after weighing it.
"Are you really busy? You want to go to the city non-stop?"
"To live, to make money. If you don't work hard now, you will have to lose money, and you have to support the whole village."
"How great!"
"You td, where is my yin and yang?"
"What?"
Ah Cai didn't understand what he was talking about.
"I sincerely praise you. After the whole village starts kelp farming, won't we have to rely on you to produce such a large quantity? Otherwise, whoever sells it to the village will rot in the sea. Aren't I praising you? ?”
"That's fine if you tell the truth."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Now the village cadres have to work hard to please you, and they have to listen to you no matter what you say. If you ask them to go east, they will never dare to go west. The whole village has to count on you and rely on you. Get rich."
"Then don't dare to take it seriously. Who knows what will happen next year."
"Then at least now the village committee will definitely listen to you in everything. You are their God of Wealth, so they have to support you."
"Stop being verbose and hurry up and weigh the goods."
"You can weigh them all by carrying them in..."
After Ye Yaodong got the goods list, he pushed the cart back in a hurry. He didn't have time to ask what Ah Cai had told him the day before yesterday and how he was thinking about it.
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, there is still a month left anyway.
Lin Xiuqing was watching them move goods in the workshop. Ye Yaodong gave her the goods list and he was watching from the side.
"The harvest is pretty good."
"No, I'll come back tonight... I'll tell you when I come back tomorrow. The wet clothes are in the basket. You can take them back and wash them later."
She looked at the wet and dripping clothes on the scooter, "It's so wet, did you get into the water?"
"Well, all the floor cages are hung up."
"I asked why there seems to be something extra. It turns out that I brought all the shrimp pots back and didn't throw them away anymore? Are all 60 of those 6 rows of cages hanging on the bottom?"
"Yes, all the ground cages are hung on the bottom. I'm afraid that the shrimp cages will be wiped out, so I don't put them down anymore. I just take them back first. You can also have those longlines sorted out later. I'll do it when you come back tomorrow. Take it out and put it away.”

"I know. Then why don't you go into the water and look at those hanging cages when your clothes are wet? Can't you close the hanging cages? Didn't you do it before?"
Ye Yaodong originally wanted to talk to her in detail tomorrow, but since he was in a hurry, he just said it before the kelp was loaded into the car.
"It wasn't because of the two fools A Zheng and Xiao Xiao. They threw a lot of cages around the reef in the past two years, trying to catch sea cucumbers and little green dragons..."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised when he said it in a low voice.
"Then if we collect all those cages, how much cargo will we have? How many tons?"
"More than ten tons, maybe hundreds of underground cages. If one underground cage is full, let's say at least two to three hundred kilograms of goods. However, many of them are dead, but there are also a lot of live ones. If you get them all, you will make a profit."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Then they accidentally did something good and fulfilled it for you?"
"They were fools if they helped me. They didn't have any equipment to go into the water, and they kept throwing cages under the water in an attempt to make back their money. As a result, they were all stuck together, and even the cage that I lowered into yesterday was also hooked. If you stop, my entire army will be wiped out.”
"It would be a big project to collect all the hundreds of cages underneath, and it would be laborious. All I earn is my hard-earned money."
Lin Xiuqing said: "Haha... Let's collect them slowly after a while when we have a little free time. There are hundreds of them. You don't even know how many times you will have to go into the water. You have to call more people."
"Of course, I won't do it myself. When my father comes back in a few days, he will transfer the people from the Dongsheng to go into the water. The people on the boat are all young and strong. They have been selected before and can go into the water before."
"Well, take your time. Anyway, they won't be gone. Did you see any abalone on the reef?"
"Yes, but most of them are blocked by the ground traps. Some ground traps are hung on the reef. I don't know whether they are hung on the reef or hit by the waves."
"It's okay if there are. As long as those ground traps are collected, we can easily collect a batch of abalone."
"Well, let's see. I don't know if there is enough time."
Think about hundreds of ground traps. Although they are full and you can make a fortune by collecting them, I don't know if you can collect hundreds of them in a month.
Next is the squid season and the jellyfish season. He has to go to salvage sea urchins. He must run around.
I don't know if Linji can get two more sets of diving equipment?
He was caught smuggling a few days ago. I wonder if he was implicated. I guess all the channels have been cut off?
I haven't seen him, and I don't know what his current situation is. He is hard to contact.
"Have you heard any news from Linji or his cousin Zhou Yechi these two days? Is there any news?"
"No, I haven't heard any rumors. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just thought about it for many days. I don't know if there is any result from his side. I want to ask if you have heard any gossip. After all, there are gossips in our workshop, and nothing can be hidden from them."
If there is no gossip, it means that it has not been exposed yet, and even the families of those smugglers may not know that they have been arrested.
After all, these smugglers may not come back for several months after leaving home.
"I didn't hear anything. If I had heard anything, I would have told you. Why are you asking about him all of a sudden? It has nothing to do with us anyway. If you ask too much, he might think we have some connection with him."
"I'm just asking out of curiosity. It's normal for people from the same village to care about us."
"It's only been a few days. The city shouldn't be able to find our village yet. You might as well go to the city and ask your godfather. He might know more."
