Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 500 Prepare to Retreat

I just didn't expect that before he took the initiative to say it, people stopped coming to deliver food. I don't know if they were stopped by family members.

He simply forgot about it and didn't take it to heart. It would be best not to come. If there was no food, he could trade fish and shrimps with the villagers. It was such a simple matter.

The two villages fought continuously for three or four days, and ended up with two people on each side dead. Then there was a turmoil for a few days, and then everything subsided.

After the situation subsided, the eyes of the people in the village began to focus on their group of outsiders.

Especially when the villagers watched them harvest jellyfish in large quantities every day.

Even if they were afraid of being too jealous, they would try their best to finish it on the boat or on the beach, and let the tractor come directly to transport it. They did not dare to carry it all the way to the village in a ostentatious manner.

However, there were still ships docked nearby that saw the goods on their ships and watched them divide and sell the goods on the beach.

Moreover, they did not harvest much with one boat, but three boats harvested so much at the same time every day, which shocked the villagers.

Their three boats now make two trips a day, and each boat can harvest more than 10,000 kilograms. After the harvest is divided and reduced, it is also seven or eight thousand kilograms. They can catch more from any one of their boats than their two big boats.

No one noticed at first, but after the fight, many people paid attention to them. In recent days, when they were collecting goods on the beach, many people from the village came to look and whisper.

Same today.

As soon as their ship was about to dock, many large and small boats nearby deliberately drove up to them and came over to dock next to them.

"Wow, it's a boat full of jellyfish again. Where did you catch them? Why are there so many?"

"Yes, in which direction did you fish? How come there are so many cargoes every day? And the three boats all have the same amount."

"It doesn't look like you've encountered a swarm of jellyfish. How can you be so lucky to encounter them every day? Where did you catch them? Why don't we encounter so many?"

"What they catch every day is several times what we do. Although we have few big boats, we also have about 60 small boats. What they catch in one day accounts for less than half of the whole village..."

"That's right, where did you get it..."

Ye Yaodong and the others on the three boats just smiled and said they were lucky, and then turned around and started busy untying the fishing nets to drag out the jellyfish one by one. They didn't say anything more. There were too many people asking in the past two days.

Can you talk about the trench? They also have a lot of work to do and have no time to chat with others.

Although the villagers were a little reluctant and didn't ask where they were fishing, those with big boats also made up their minds to follow them at night.

Once or twice is luck, so many times every day, everyone knows something is wrong.

When they dragged the jellyfish to the shore one by one, more people came over and gathered around them one after another, watching them dragging them, watching them separate, and whispering.

Ye Yaodong looked at the people around him and knew that they probably wouldn't be able to stay here for long. They would have to pack up their things and move to another village in the next two days.

Alas, it would be great if there was no need to move. Making money is not easy.

Father Ye and the others basically knew that it was almost time to move, and they had to move to a new home, otherwise they should earn money but not take it home.

They were busy with their own business. Since they were not familiar with the villagers, they ignored their whispers.

As soon as the goods for the day were sold out, they went directly back to the educated youth point.

As soon as Ye Yaodong arrived at the room, he said: "Dad, we estimate that we should leave in the next two days. We can't stay any longer. If we stay any longer, something will happen."

Father Ye also nodded, "I think so too. In the past two days, the village has been discussing that we caught too much. People's big boats only make two trips a day to catch six or seven thousand catties, but we can catch ten thousand catties. It's their fault." Twice."

Father Pei also frowned, "We have to leave, otherwise we will earn too much on their territory, and it will be difficult to leave even if we want to. After all, we are from outside."

Ye Yaopeng was nervous for a moment, "We won't be left behind by their village, right? How about we leave at night? There are so many villages around, how about we stay in any village for a few more days?"

"If we move again, we can't be in a nearby village. It's too close. Maybe the village will hear about us when traveling between villages."

"Then we have to leave, otherwise we will earn too much and they will be jealous. They just had a war with the next village and two people died. If they get angry at us..."

At first, everyone didn't think much about it when they came back. After listening to Ye Yaodong's words and the discussion, everyone's hearts were instantly raised and they felt a sense of urgency.

Ye Yaodong interrupted his eldest brother's worried words, "We must leave. Let's discuss it and see when we can leave. If you are afraid of a long night and many dreams and plan to leave tonight, then you can collect all your things in advance and take advantage of the opportunity. I would carry things on board at night and take a nap on the boat at night.”

"Otherwise, we can leave after dark tomorrow, find a village to stay in during the day tomorrow, and then move after dark."

Ye Yaohua quickly agreed, "I think it's better to find a place to stay in advance before moving. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep all night on the boat. It's a physical job. I won't have the energy to fish during the day tomorrow. We shouldn't miss this day, right?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the others, "What do you say? Is Brother Nian okay?"

Chen Jianian said quickly: "It won't affect me. It doesn't matter which village you move to. I'll call the car directly and pick it up. It won't affect you."

Father Ye also looked at Father Pei, "What do the in-laws think?"

They are all members of the family here, so it is easy to say anything. Of course, they must respect their in-laws.

Father Pei pondered for a moment and said: "I can do it, or should we stay one more night? Find a place to stay first, and then move as soon as it gets dark tomorrow? Anyway, it should be somewhere around the town. After moving, We can still have a good rest, it’s indeed a bit of a rush tonight.”

Father Ye nodded, "Okay, then when we go out to sea to fish during the day tomorrow, we will look for a village on the shore and confirm it. We will move after dark tomorrow."

In the past two days, villagers had been asking them where they got it intermittently. Everyone felt that it was not bad, so they all nodded and agreed unanimously.

Having solved the major problem on their minds, everyone was relieved.

Ye Yaodong also said happily: "Fortunately, this village has been fighting with the village next door a few days ago and has no time to care about us. We also have a few more days to catch jellyfish. Otherwise, we would have to run away just a few days after moving in." Lu, I’ve stayed here for ten days now, so it’s fine.”

Ye Yaopeng couldn't help but said: "We rented here for a month, but we only stayed there for ten days. It's a pity."

"What's a pity? You've earned hundreds of yuan a day, and you still need these few yuan? When you live here for a month, your mother won't even know where to go to burn paper for us during the Qingming Festival next year." Ye's father gave Ye Yaopeng an annoyed look.

Ye Yaopeng touched his nose and stopped talking.

Father Pei changed the topic and said: "We can't live in another village for too many days if we move to another village. If we stay in another village for two or three days, we will probably have to change places, otherwise it will be too conspicuous."

"Do you have to change it so frequently?" Ye Yaohua hesitated.

"It's dangerous to stay here for too long. A few hundred yuan is enough to kill someone. This village happens to be in conflict with other villages and has no time to talk to us. It's not paying attention to us, otherwise we should have left long ago."

Father Ye also echoed, "What my in-laws said is that we get up early at night, and other big boats don't leave until three or four o'clock. We went before three o'clock, missed the big boat, and the small boat couldn't catch up with us. Today I saw a lot of people’s eyes looking wrong, and I didn’t know if there would be a boat following us at night.”

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Ye Yaopeng felt relieved again.

"It's hard to say, I think it's very possible."

Ye Yaohua was also nervous and looked at his father, "Then let's leave early tonight? Don't let them catch up?"

If that trench is exposed, it will be difficult to fish it out.

When the time comes, they will all be people from their village, just a few of them from other places. There are so many people in the village, and if you don't want to fish for them, you won't fish for them.

"How about we move on the boat tonight? It feels like a long night and a lot of dreams..." Ye Yaopeng also looked at his father.

Ye Yaodong also had this concern, "How about leaving overnight?"

"In the past few days, we have been surrounded by people when we docked, but at night we have gone to sea first before others. It has been so many days, and this day is not missing. Since we have agreed to find a good place during the day tomorrow and move at night, it is decided like this Now. Let’s go to bed early and get up early at night, half an hour earlier than usual, at two o’clock, right?”

Father Pei also spoke to comfort him, "Don't think too much, let's go out to sea earlier than before, just don't be followed. If we are followed, let's not go in that direction, just fish for scattered things on the surrounding sea, and then Find a village.”

"Okay, then we'll have dinner and go to bed early."

"Um."

After agreeing to move in at night tomorrow, they went to work separately, taking a bath and boiling jellyfish blood.

Ye Yaodong, Ye's father and Ye Yaopeng also returned to the house together.

Ye Yaodong looked at them and said: "Let's keep the money and carry it with us. Tomorrow, after I confirm my destination, I will go to the town and save the money. The money is increasing day by day, and it is not safe to keep it around. That's it. I’m busy fishing all day long these days, and I don’t have time to go out, otherwise I should have saved my money long ago.”

It had only been ten days of fishing, and he already had more than 2,000 yuan with him. This was because he had not received any money for two days, and it also rained intermittently for three days, otherwise they could have earned more.

The goods he brought over and fished out were sold for more than 500 yuan on the first day, and more than 200 yuan on the second day. After discovering the trench later, although he gradually lowered the price a little, he could still basically sell for 500 yuan every day.

It’s just a pity that I can’t go out to sea every day.

He means that the boat belongs to him alone, and no one shares the money with him, so he earns more, unlike other families in the village who share a boat among several people in the house.

"Is it easy to deposit it at the post and telecommunications office?" Father Ye also felt that he shouldn't keep so much money around him, but he was a little worried. The money of his country people was always kept at home and never deposited in a bank.

"It must be easy to get. If it's not easy to get, who will save it?"

"Then see for yourself."

Ye Yaodong looked at his elder brother again, "Brother, do you want to save it?"

Ye Yaopeng hesitated, "I can't read either, and I don't know how to deposit or withdraw money. Otherwise, I'll give you the money directly, and you can just deposit it into your account tomorrow, and then you can take it out and give it to me when you get home?"

"Okay, let's go together then. I'll open an account and you can deposit it with me."

"Then tell your in-laws later. If you want to save, you can take time tomorrow to save together, so as not to have more and more money on hand, which is unsafe."

"Okay, then you can talk to Uncle Pei later and we can go together tomorrow."
