Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 205 Recovering the Ground Cage Net

A few days later, as soon as they finished eating, Mother Ye suddenly came home with a smile on her face and called the three brothers to their hometown, saying she was going to have a few drinks with A Guang and his father.

He understood instantly that his parents must have agreed to marry their daughter.

Why didn't his mother insist? Difficult?

Is it really true that the mother-in-law becomes more satisfied with her son-in-law the more she looks at him?

This guy Aguang is so cheap! Grass!

Ye Yaodong went to the old house with a serious face. Looking at his father and Uncle Pei's flushed faces, he knew that they had already had a round of drinking.

Ah Guang kept giggling with his red face, which made his eyes hurt.

drink! Must drink!

The three brothers had a tacit understanding and took turns, getting the father and son so drunk that they were tongue-tied and unable to speak before they were sent back.

After returning to the old house, Ye's mother happily said that her family was going to give out "three turns and one ring" and "thirty-six legs" as a bride price.

"Butterfly brand sewing machine, Phoenix brand bicycle, Shanghai Plum Blossom brand watch, and play box. Aguang's father said that they have gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to check it out in the past few days. If they are sure, they will buy it immediately. They will definitely not lose money to Huimei..."

Ye Yaodong curled his lips. It was very difficult for other families to put them away. Not many villages around them could afford these four items. Only people working in government agencies and state-owned enterprises could order these items.

But their family can afford it, and his parents must have saved some money in the past two months. He also gave 300 yuan to his father after receiving the payment a few days ago.

Really, let go so easily.

"I have asked your sister in advance, and she has no objections. Now when their family finds a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, we will finalize the matter. It is only two months before the Chinese New Year, and we should get married before the year."

"Is it too fast?" Ye Yaodong couldn't help but said.

"What's the hurry? Rich or not, marrying a wife will help you celebrate the New Year. I remember back then, you got married in ten days..."

"That's different..."

"It's different. It's hard to find someone who is willing to be (blind). You really need to make a decision early. Aguang is different. We are from the same village and we know everything..."

Mother Ye said happily, "Forget it, wait until the matchmaker comes to the door."

Seeing the shy look on his little sister's face, one of them was willing to be beaten and the other was willing to suffer. Ye Yaodong didn't say anything. If the girl didn't get admitted to the university, he might as well go back and let his wife take care of it and prepare some dowry.

[To be honest, I have been using x-on:recently to read and catch up on updates, switch, and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on Android or Apple. 】

A night without dreams until dawn.

Ye Yaodong planned to go to sea to collect the ground cage. He hadn't worked for half a month and his arm was much better.

During this period, either Xiao Xiao'a was collecting the goods in Dilong, or his eldest and second brothers were taking them back. Every time they collected them all and sent them over.

But it was a rare luxury, so he would give half of it to them, and then keep the rest for his wife and children to make up for, and then divide some more to go to the old house. If there was more, he would either dry it in the sun, or take some favors and go to Linji. Go there, or let his mother take care of sending some to relatives.

Lin Xiuqing felt that she had become mellow during this period, but A Dongfei said that she was delusional, saying that eating seafood would not make her fat, and that she was mellow because of pregnancy, and told her to eat more.

….

Maybe someone else was helping to collect the goods, and her husband didn't have to do anything. Waiting for them to deliver it at home felt like picking up the goods for nothing, and she felt no burden when she was busy.

It feels so inappropriate.

"If you go to collect the cages today, don't keep any goods. We've sold everything that can be sold. During this period, you've eaten all the good goods. It's too luxurious. We can't do this next time."

"Isn't it good to eat some? One person can eat and two people can make up for it."

"Isn't it money to eat? Isn't it hard to make money?"

"Okay, okay~"

Anyway, he agreed first, and it was not up to him to decide what he would bring back when the time came.

Ye Yaodong carried two large buckets and went out. The two sisters-in-law at the door saw him carrying the buckets and asked in surprise: "A Dong is going to sea? Are your hands ready?"

"Absolutely. I've had it for more than half a month, and I haven't had any daily problems recently."

"That's good, that's good." Sister-in-law Ye smiled a little reluctantly.

"Then you have to be careful when going out to sea. If you don't have enough energy, don't show off. It's the same thing when your eldest and second brothers come back in the evening to help collect the goods. We are all a family, so it's okay to let them help collect the goods. If you can rest, just rest for a few more days. Take good care of yourself, in case you have any sequelae in the future... Hey... I just want to say this, it's best if you are fully recovered, otherwise the whole family is welcome and you can help with some things, it's nothing..."

His sister-in-law is better at speaking and has a higher rank. Look how beautifully she speaks.

It was obvious that the smiles between the two of them just now were a little forced, and the expressions in their eyes showed that they were reluctant to part with the good things during this period, but she was able to speak beautifully and make people feel comfortable.

Sister-in-law Ye is more direct and can't hide things.

"Well, there should be nothing going on. Let's go to the sea and collect a ground cage. If the problem is not big, we plan to go to sea. I haven't been to sea for more than half a month. I'm going to be exhausted. I really want to go back to playing all day long like before. Work, dad is going to have no work to do."

The last sentence is a reminder to them, eldest brother, second brother's boat belongs to his father. If his father has no work to do, the eldest brother and second brother's boat will be hanging.

Sister-in-law Ye's mind was spinning quickly, and the smile on her face became more sincere, "Yes, it's almost time to go to sea and make money."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong nodded casually, propped up the bamboo pole that had fallen down to dry clothes at the door, and then walked out of the pier.

"Hey... Ah Dong, are you going to go fishing tomorrow on the first day of the new year?" Second Sister-in-law Ye stopped him again.

He almost forgot about it. After resting at home for half a month, he had already forgotten it.

After he stopped, he thought for a while and said, "Should we not go? I haven't gone fishing for more than half a month. I should go out to sea at night. I still have all the dry goods at home. My eldest brother and my second brother also have boats now. , if you want to go, you can ask the eldest and second brothers to take a day off and let them take you there."

Hmm... His wife can take care of herself. It's not like they don't have a boat now, and he doesn't want to take responsibility.

Sister-in-law Ye nodded a little disappointedly. There was no wind and waves, so the family's boat must go to sea to make money.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them anymore.

The weather is quite good today, the sky is clear and the roads are easy to walk.

It rained a few days ago, and there were mud and puddles everywhere on the road. Whenever I went out, my shoes or trousers were full of mud. My eldest son was beaten three times a day frequently. In the past, he was beaten once every three days. Fortunately, Boys are tough.

….

Recently, he has been sleeping until he wakes up naturally, and today is also late. There are not many ships at the dock, and they have all gone out to work.

"Hey~ are you alive?" Ah Cai sat at the door of his buying point, crossed his legs and greeted him with a smile.

"That's right. I have to support my family in Hukou, so I can't be a waste anymore. I really miss you. It's better for you."

The corner of Ah Cai's mouth twitched. Why did he sound uncomfortable with these words? It felt like he was being scolded as a waste.

"Go, go, get more good goods and send them over."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong smiled and walked towards the direction where his boat was docked. The boat was swaying due to the waves. It was a pity not to fish for more than half a month, but that trip was enough to earn money.

He still has the same number of ground cages. Since getting the row of hooks, he hasn't added any more, for fear that he won't be able to collect them, but he is still a little reluctant to sell them. Mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, and in the past few months The ground cage harvest is also okay.

The position of the buoy was still there. After they helped him collect the goods, the cage was still put back in place.

Ye Yaodong pulled up the buoy and started to close the net. The weight of the cage net in the water was still relatively heavy, but he still had strength in his hand to close it.

It was confiscated after a day. The first net collected was okay. There were two Huangshan fish of one pound, the others were some palm-sized paddy fish, and half a pound of white shrimp. Ye Yaodong poured them all into the bucket. Here I estimate that there are more than 4 kilograms of goods.

It’s just that except for the first net, the harvest of the next few nets is not very ideal. Each net only has less than one kilogram of goods, and a row of ground cages only collects about 10 kilograms. There are no big goods, and the best is Those two Huangshan fish weighing about a pound were worth two yuan.

The cages in the back two rows were even worse. Only eleven or two kilograms of goods were collected in the two rows. They were all worthless little red shrimps and small miscellaneous fish. The shrimps weighed about two kilograms each.

Ye Yaodong feels that the weather has been cold recently and the fish supply is not very abundant.

After he took back all six rows of cages, the two large buckets were barely full. The largest one weighed about five kilograms of conger eels, and there were two bass weighing more than three kilograms, and two of Huangshan weighing about one kilogram. There are three kilograms of white shrimps and a lot of octopus, some weighing more than ten kilograms, and shrimps weighing more than three kilograms. The rest are just small fish and shrimps, which add up to only more than 20 kilograms.

The swimming crabs must be out of season, there aren't any left. The same goes for blue crabs. I was able to receive two in the first two days. In the past, I could catch a few blue crabs every time I netted them, sometimes more than a dozen.

The weather is getting colder and there is less seafood along the coast.

Today's harvest is less than usual, but it's just so-so. At least we have the bait for going out to sea at night. We can just go to Ah Cai's place to replenish some later.

After putting all the ground cages back into the sea, he drove around for a while in the surrounding waters. He didn't know where Xiaoxiao and Azheng were putting their nets, and he didn't see their boat once they went out.

After driving another 1 nautical mile out of the sea, he saw the small wooden boat belonging to Azheng and Xiaoxiao. How brave they were!

The small wooden boat was floating and swaying on the sea like leaves. He felt that if a wave hit the boat, it would capsize.

When we got closer to their boat, we happened to see them retracting their hooks.

….

"You are so brave, how dare you row such a small wooden boat out so far?"

"What are you afraid of? It's still on the coast anyway. If you fall down, you can just climb up." Azheng said nonchalantly.

Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Your hands are healed and you are strong? Why did you run out?"

"That's about it. Come out and collect the goods in the cage."

"Okay, then we don't have to go collect the goods from you."

"It's really extravagant. To put in a ground cage, you have to drive out a big boat that's more than ten meters long."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "I can't help it. I just made a fortune. I can't afford the gas fee."

Although it costs a little money on gas, the efficiency is really high, which is better than half-dead rowing on a small wooden boat. It only takes about ten minutes to drive here from the shore, but it takes at least half an hour to row.

After two months of paddling some time ago, he felt that the muscles in his arms had become much stronger and the fat on his waist was gone.

"Are you going to say something so hateful?" Azheng glared at him, "It doesn't matter if he wants to invite us to drink."

"It's planned for tonight. I couldn't lift my hands some time ago and it was a problem to pick up the kuaizi. Come to my house tonight. I just collected some goods from the ground cage. It's enough to drink."

It didn't matter if he didn't go to the literacy class for a whole day. He joined halfway anyway, so he had a long way to go, so he took his time.

"Okay, let's get Fatty and the others tonight... ah Youyouyou~ Damn... Qianban..."

Before A Zheng finished speaking, he saw Xiao Xiao pulling up a top-quality grouper. His eyes widened in shock, and he was so happy that he cried out.

"Damn it, what kind of bullshit luck, as soon as I came here you got a money spot!" Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes and drove the boat closer.

Xiaoxiao smiled from ear to ear and did not take off the hook. He just held up the money spot and shined it in the sun. "Dongzi, you are such a lucky star. What a big money spot! We have put the money spot online for several months, and it is still the first time I have seen it." Caught such a big grouper at once!”

"How many pounds does it weigh?"

"It should weigh three or four kilograms! There are hexagonal spots all over the body, tsk tsk tsk~" The little eyes were shining, and she was so happy.

"Made, it's worth about ten yuan."

Ye Yaodong looked at it with greed, he hadn't caught Qian Banban yet.

This gold spot should actually be called the toi mao grouper, also known as the fish, the flower-headed plum, and the noble among the kidney groupers. It mainly inhabits the near-shore debris coral reef area and often appears on the offshore coast.

Azheng also shouted happily, "Let me pick the hook, this fish is amazing, it's my first time to catch it, hahaha~~"
