Chapter 639 Drifting Unmanned Boat
Although he thinks Brother Asheng is quite good, he is not a big boss, and even a little money leaking between his fingers is enough for him.
My debts haven't even been settled yet, and there's still a few thousand dollars left in the balance of the boat. He had just made some money, but his second uncle thought that he had made so much money, and his attitude was different from before. He was still nagging about asking him to recruit Brother Aseng. Alas, he probably had this idea. There were still a lot of people, but they didn't come up to him to talk.
When he really makes a fortune and has money, he really doesn't mind helping him. After all, he is a member of his family, and he has a good impression of this hard-working cousin.
Now, we have to wait for him to get rich first. What he earned this year is not enough to buy a boat, so where can he follow?
When one person becomes wealthy, he can lead others to become wealthy as well. The weak light of the flashlight illuminated his path forward in a flash. On a cold day, there was no one on the road. There was only the sound of the howling wind. The villagers had already huddled under the covers.
However, the lights in several houses by their beach were still bright. The men had gone back to their houses to sleep, and the women were still killing fish there.
When he walked to the door of the house, he wanted to tell his mother to have a rest early but swallowed it down. His mother would not listen to his good words... Moreover, his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were going to sea with the fishing boat at night, so they really had to go to sea tonight. These fish have to be killed before they are dried, and cannot be left overnight.
Hearing the noisy noise coming from the elder brother's room, he changed his voice and shouted: "Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, go home and sleep!"
"Ah? So fast? The eldest aunt and the second aunt didn't ask Brother Ahai and the others to go to bed." Ye Chenghu hurried out as soon as he heard his name being called.
"You don't care what time they go to bed. Come home and go to bed quickly, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"I'm not sleepy yet, I want to play some more."
"Don't want the reward?"
"Okay..." Ye Chenghu was unwilling to give up and reluctantly pulled Ye Chengyang out. Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were curious when they saw how easy it was for him to catch him. They asked: "What reward?" Ye Chenghu proudly said loudly: "My father said that if I come back with 100 points in two exams, he will take me there." Play in the city.”
"No wonder Ah Hai has been asking his father recently, saying that his third uncle has been running back and forth to the city. Why hasn't his father gone?"
"Ah Jiang, too, keeps asking, why doesn't his father follow his uncle's lead and sell dried fish in the city? People say that his third uncle has made a lot of money..."
"Is this what his father can earn? The family's boat still needs to be sailed. If you hire someone, you might not make any money, and your things will be gone. How can you move your mouth so conveniently?"
"Take it directly to his third uncle. It will save us trouble and make money without taking risks..." Sister-in-law Ye also spat.
"That is to say, how can it be so easy to earn money? It's so far away. Running back and forth, no need for travel expenses? No need for energy? What does he want to do just thinking about others?"
"I guess I want to go to the city too. I'll free up my hands some other time to get a beating. I dare to think about this. I haven't even been to the city or the county seat." Ye Chenghai and the others heard that Ye Chenghu They were yelling and ran out to hear what they were talking about, but when they heard that they were about to be beaten, they immediately shrank and shivered.
Ye Mu also said: "It's best not to take Chenghu with you, otherwise your heart will become wild once you go there. How can you still go to school?" Yes, that's right!
All the children in the room nodded wildly. But Ye Chenghu's eyes widened and he ran to Ye Yaodong.
"Dad has already made a promise. You can't go back on it. You can't lie to others. If you lie to others, your nose will grow longer." Ye Yaodong patted the back of his head twice.
"I won't regret it. I keep my word. If you get two 100s in the exam more often, I will take you there more times and make others jealous." Ye Chenghu was happy,
"good."
"Let's go home and go to bed."
"Yeah." He nodded heavily, and Ye Chengyang followed his father home, one on each side. A large group of children in the room behind looked at him with jealous eyes.
Their mothers would only say that they were going to be caught and beaten. Third uncle, please do well~ They were all thinking in their minds,
"Why am I not the third uncle's child?" The next morning, it was still dark, and it was late in winter. It was still dark outside at five o'clock. No one went to sea at this time, so the three of them used flashlights. Walk on the road.
The village went out to sea either at two or three o'clock in the night, or just after dawn, and it was still quiet when walking to the pier.
Ye Yaodong had prepared everything and put it on the boat the day before. The oil was also filled and kept there. They didn't need to prepare anything today.
After using bamboo poles to support the boat away from the shore, the boat slowly accelerated. Ye Yaosheng and Ye Yaodong stood together and said with a smile: "My father was indeed a bit verbose yesterday, don't worry about it."
"Ah? It's nothing. It's normal for my second uncle to worry about you. Whoever's son feels sorry for him. If you work so hard, you will get rich sooner or later!"
"Haha, I don't expect to get rich. Who knows if I will have such a fate. Anyway, if I can live in Hukou, my life will be fine."
"Definitely, life is what people make of it." Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder.
"Dongzi, I would like to ask if Aguang's boat is still available for rent?"
"What? Do you want to rent it?" He smiled.
"Yeah, I've always wanted to rent it. At first I thought he was going to keep a boat and drive it himself, but later I saw that he actually rented it to a rat."
"Now that it's taken back, I just want to ask, do you still need someone to rent it? It's been raining a while ago, so I didn't have a chance to ask. I must be reliable, and I definitely won't hide anything..." Ye Yaodong said with some embarrassment: "I don't know if he still rents it? Is he not renting it anymore? It's almost spring now, and I'm collecting dried fish, and the income is pretty good. They must be thinking that they can earn more by running the boat."
"We have already sent a boat out, and we probably won't let out another boat unless they buy another one, or they don't really want to do it. Uncle Pei wants to take care of himself, so maybe it will work." Ye Yaosheng nodded, with a look on his face. Not very disappointed, just as expected.
"I know, I guess so."
"Hmm." Ye Yaodong was also thinking that after he gets his big boat, he won't be able to take care of it. He will definitely have to ask his father to take care of it. Then it will be seen whether his father wants to drive it himself or just imitate A Guang and the others. .
If he wanted to follow the example of A Guang and the others in collecting rent, he would ask Brother A Sheng to open the business. The money would not go to outsiders, and his father would be able to collect the goods at home. His father is already old anyway.
"When the time comes, worship Mazu more often. A person's luck will not always be bad, it will always get better."
"Hmm... I hope so..." As they were chatting, the sky turned white, the darkness was gradually dispersed, the field of vision was broadened, and there was no need to use a flashlight.
As the sky gradually became brighter, the three people on the boat discovered a small wooden boat floating not far away. The shape was very similar and could be recognized at a glance.
The three people's eyes lit up.
"There is a boat!" Father Ye also quickly turned the bow of the boat and sailed towards the small wooden boat. There was no one visible above, and it looked like it was ownerless. I didn't know if it had lost contact, so there was only one small boat floating on the sea.
Ye Yaosheng said happily: "I didn't expect that I could pick up a small wooden boat for nothing as soon as I got there. The yellow paper I just burned was not in vain."
"Let's get closer first and take a look." Ye Yaodong was not as happy as he was. The boat had been drifting for who knows how long. Who knows if it is still useful?
As the fishing boat approached, Ye's father also gradually slowed down. The two of them saw the fishing boat clearly before Ye's father. Suddenly, goosebumps appeared on their bodies and expressions of disgust appeared on their faces.
"Ugh~ What's on there, why is it so disgusting?" Ye Yaodong was extremely disgusted.
"I don't know, it can still move. It looks like a sandworm. It won't climb onto the boat. Sandworms grow in the beach. This looks disgusting." Ye Yaosheng was also extremely uncomfortable. I looked at the densely packed things on it that were still squirming, each one seemed like a long piece of earthworm, and it was so disgusting to see so densely.
It's also their fault that their eyesight is too good... After Ye's father got a little closer to see clearly, he stopped and hesitated to get closer. He also felt that the squirming things above were too disgusting.
He walked towards the two of them and shouted: "What's up there? Do you see it clearly? Do you recognize it?"
"I don't know, the whole boat is covered with it. It's more scary than the rocks on our shore...ah, no, there should be barnacles growing on them." Ye Yaodong reacted instantly.
Normal bugs can't survive in the sea. This boat has been drifting in the sea for an unknown period of time, so it's normal for it to be absorbed by barnacles.
The whole boat was tingling with secrets, probably from barnacles and shellfish of various varieties. Ye Yaosheng rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
"It's true that there are barnacles growing on them, but what are those long, tightly covered strips of flesh that are covered with barnacles..."
"Meat from various barnacles?" Father Ye was also more inclined, believing that the squirming strips of meat were the tentacles of barnacles.
"It shouldn't be wrong. If you take a closer look, you don't have to get too close. It's all drifting here smoothly."
"Then let's take a look first." Ye Yaosheng said: "I'm going to get a long hook. When I get close, I can hook it easily."
"The long hook is over there in the corner."
