Chapter 597 Haven’t Been to Sea for Ten Days

After having expectations, the two children ate faster than anyone else. After a quick meal, they stood aside and waited, staring at their father with burning eyes.

Ye Yaodong felt two fiery eyes and felt uneasy about eating.

"You two go wait outside and find the wire first. There seems to be some in the yard. If it's not enough, go to the old house and ask your grandpa for some."

"Okay." Ye Chenghu ran out excitedly, and Ye Chengyang followed closely with his short legs. Lin Xiuqing was eating her meal and urged him in a vague manner.

"Hurry up and eat quickly, otherwise you'll come in and talk nonsense again later. I don't know who you look like..."

"My mother! Who else can she look like?" She couldn't help but laugh. Ye Yaodong ate the remaining bites of rice in his bowl before walking out the door. The two children were not in the yard either and had disappeared without a trace.

He searched everywhere and found only a small ball of copper wire. At this time, the two of them ran back from nowhere and brought back an abandoned iron bucket and a small ball of iron sheets.

"Dad, grandpa gave me the iron bucket. He said that the bucket was rusty and leaky and was of no use. He asked you to use the discarded iron bucket in the butt of the bucket. He picked it up and turned it around and took a look.

"How to get this? Is it so convenient for him to tell? I don't know how to get an iron ring on a broken barrel?"

"You can't do it again?" Ye Chenghu was worried to death. Why couldn't his father know anything? Ye Yaodong glanced at him blankly,

"You will be, right?"

"I can't. If I could, I wouldn't call you." Ye Yaodong frowned so hard he could kill a fly. You brat, you're so annoying.

"You've already gone to the old house, why don't you just ask your grandpa to do it?"

"Huh? You didn't say you wanted to do it for me!"

"You don't know how to adapt at all, you idiot!" Ye Yaodong turned the iron bucket two more times. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It was very laborious to take it off, so he just made one out of iron sheets.

The other one can be made from the wire you just found. After casually throwing the bucket into the corner, he took the iron sheet brought back by the two children, stretched it to see the length, and then tried it in a circle. It was indeed only enough to make one.

This rolling iron ring is composed of two parts, one is the circle made of iron sheet, and the other is the long handle that pushes the iron ring forward.

Making the iron ring is very simple. Just use iron pliers to bend the iron sheet into a circle and fix it. The size is like the mouth of a wooden barrel.

The same goes for the iron wire. Bend it into a circle and wrap it tightly. Make it as round as possible to facilitate rolling.

In order to facilitate the control of the children when they were small, Ye Yaodong made them one big and one small according to their height.

The two of them squatted in front of him while he was sitting and working, staring there without blinking.

"Are you ready, Dad? Is the circle ready? I'll just say it's very simple!" Ye Chenghu saw that the circle had taken shape and couldn't wait to reach out and take it.

"The big one must be mine."

"What's the hurry? There's still a handle."

"Then hurry up." Ye Yaodong put the circle on the ground slowly and lit a cigarette for himself first.

After taking two puffs and flicking the cigarette butt twice, he clamped it between his middle finger and index finger, and then used the remaining wire to make another long-handled iron hook.

"Okay, okay, it's finally done." Ye Chenghu couldn't wait to reach out again. Ye Yaodong slapped it away without mercy.

"What's the hurry? I'll add something to you later." He continued to pour out the remaining wire, made a very small hoop, and put it on the hoop.

"Did you see it? When you are not pushing this small circle, you can hook it with a curved hook, hang it up and carry it on your shoulders, just like Lin Chong using an iron gun to carry a gourd. This way it will not fall."

"Ah? Who is Lin Chong?"

"It's from Water Margin. That's why I told you to study hard. When you chat with others in the future, they will talk a lot, but you are all ah? ah? ah?. You seem uneducated and uninformed." Ye Chengyang tilted his head curiously. Question: "Did Dad read a lot of books?" Critical strike!

!

"Uh...ahem...this one is ready, you can play with it, the next one will be ready soon." Ye Yaodong asked the child honestly, but was overwhelmed by the question, so he simply put the iron ring on him and slung it across his body. On the shoulders, it's like Nezha carrying the Qiankun Circle.

Ye Chengyang stood up excitedly in an instant,

"Ah, I also have an iron ring~I'm looking for Brother Ahai~" Ye Chenghu saw that Ye Chengyang had already put the iron ring on and ran away, and felt very anxious.

"Dad, hurry up, Yangyang has already run away..."

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Ye Yaodong held the cigarette that was about to burn out in his hand and took two more puffs before flicking it away.

"I forgot that I was at home, not at sea. It's so easy. Go over and step on it and put out the flames."

"Oh, why do adults smoke?" Ye Yaodong also put an iron ring on the iron ring he gave him. Only then did he feel happy and satisfied, and he put it around his neck and ran outside.

"Huh? Wait, didn't you say you wanted to borrow me to play with?"

"Wait until I've had enough fun..." Before he could finish his words, the man had already run away.

"The words of a man can't be trusted, and the words of a boy can't be trusted! The words of a boy can't be trusted either!" Lin Xiu finished washing the bowls, put away the stove, and heard this sentence when she came out. She just thought it was funny.

"Where did you get such deep feelings?"

"I'm just talking casually and joking."

"I thought you were deceived by some man."

"Nonsense, I'm not a little girl." ... After sending the two of them away, Ye Yaodong originally thought that the world would be quiet. He planned to go inside and take a nap in order to get ready to go to sea at night, but he didn't expect that the excitement had just begun.

He just took off his cotton-padded jacket and lay down on the bed. Before he could close his eyes, he heard laughter and laughter outside the house. The noise was getting louder and louder, and they were all the sounds of children playing.

A group of children were playing a hoop-rolling game at the door, and he could tell how they played just by listening to the sounds. Fortunately, after a while, they rolled away, otherwise they would have to get up and chase them away.

After getting enough sleep during the day, Ye Yaodong woke up naturally full of energy at night. There was no need to hire anyone today, just him and his father. There was no need to hire anyone to trawl the net. If there was no goods to lay the sticky net, it didn't require three people, just two people could handle it.

I haven't been out to sea for many days, and the pier has been quiet for a while, but it becomes lively again at night. People who know each other will say hello when they meet.

However, there are a lot of people greeting him today, right? Everyone's face was full of smiles, making him feel like a hot potato. He had never felt such enthusiasm from the villagers.

I haven’t walked around the village for a few days. How much has changed? It wasn't until he got on the boat that he asked his father,

"Have legends about me spread in the village recently?" The smile on Father Ye's face had not yet faded away, it was still hanging there. He nodded,

"I don't know who spread the news. Anyway, everyone knows that you bought two shops in the city and paid the money a few days ago. Everyone in the village has been praising you these days."

"Oh, just pass it on, it doesn't matter, it just emptied the family's money again. But, why are you praising me?"

"Go to the village for a walk tomorrow and listen to it and you will know."

"Can't you just tell me?"

"What are you talking about? Besides, your tail is raised to the sky. Hurry up and set sail."

"Well, I can guess it even if I don't say it. It's just saying that I've become successful and the prodigal son has turned around. I've earned such a big fortune in just one year, and no one else's children are as successful as me. From now on, you and my mother will I’m going to enjoy great blessings..." Father Ye was speechless for a moment.

"You know everything and still ask?"

"Ah? Really? I'm just talking casually. These people really have no new ideas. They only praise me with a few words. They won't praise me that I will definitely be an official and a boss in the future, and I will start a company and make a fortune..."

"Stop dreaming. I just compliment you a few times, but don't take it seriously. You still have to do the work you should do."

"Can't you just say a few more words to make me happy?" Ye Yaodong muttered a few words and went to sail the boat honestly.

How can anyone be unhappy when someone praises them? He stood on the bow of the boat with high spirits, facing the wind. It had only been more than a year, but things were different. The days were getting more and more promising.

In fact, what he wants most now is the health and safety of his family. The money he earns is enough to spend. As long as he doesn't get involved in pornography, gambling, and drugs, his wealth will gradually increase anyway.

On the sea, the sea breeze was blowing, and the boat was swaying with the sea breeze. Although there was no wind on the shore, there were no waves on the shore.

But the sea was different. It was empty on all sides. The whistling wind and the roar of the sea could almost cover up the sound of the diesel engine, which rang in his ears, but as long as the fishing boat could bear it, that would be fine.

The boat quickly sailed towards the sea area where they used to trawl. They had not been out at sea for ten days. He thought they had come out early enough today.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at our destination, we saw boats already fishing on the nearby sea. Is there anyone more diligent than him?

Looking at a boat driving at a constant speed over there, I knew it was working, but I didn't know how it suddenly broke into his territory.

However, the sea area does not belong to his family. If someone drags someone else's boat, he will do his own thing, as long as they don't interfere with each other.

It didn't take long for others to discover him, and everyone maintained a tacit understanding at the same time, doing their own things. They were all good people, and as long as they didn't deliberately seek trouble, everyone was relatively peaceful.

Ye Yaodong was doing ordinary trawling operations. Seeing that the first net could receive the goods, Ye Yaodong didn't release the sticky net yet. This was indeed a bit troublesome.

But maybe we can wait until the trawling is over. If there is still time, we can place a dozen or twenty sheets carefully, so that if the weather is good tomorrow, we can collect and release them again.

Even if the weather is bad, more than a dozen nets can be collected quickly, but they will not stay long. Ye Yaodong's abacus was clicking, and he wanted to make full use of everything. After all, he could be considered a liability now, even though his fixed assets had increased.

After collecting two nets, there were five or six more baskets of toad fish and other fish on the boat. He originally thought that these were the only fish that would be left today, and there would be nothing good left.

But he didn't expect that his father had been watching and listening in all directions, paying attention to the other boat.

"Dongzi, there's something wrong with that boat. It hasn't moved for a long time."
