Chapter 796 Father Ye Can’t Bear It Anymore
After putting on the clothes, he immediately felt safe, but there was nothing he could do about his legs, and he couldn't be asked to wear long pants to sleep in the summer.
Ye Yaodong fiddled with his little vest, and then counted the few money hairs growing around the beans on his right side, "The 6 hairs here are fine, but one is missing on the left. 5656 doesn't sound good."
"Then let your baby pull out another one on the right side to make it symmetrical."
"That won't work! Now I just need to wait for the left one to grow out. If I pull out another one, I have to wait for two roots to grow out. How long will that take? Otherwise, if you water it and irrigate it with nutrients, maybe it will grow. You have to hurry up..."
Lin Xiuqing was stunned when she heard his extremely arrogant words. Her face looked angry and embarrassed. She stood up immediately after brushing her face and her ears turned red.
"What are you talking about? You talk about everything all day long."
"Hey, water is the source of life."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I'm going out to help."
"Didn't you hire someone to do it? Why do you want to do it yourself? Just stay..."
"Then you have to help me too, and lend a hand, otherwise my mother will be there to help kill, and it will be bad for me to stand there and watch."
"I'm not asking you to stand there and watch. You can stand for a while and then walk around, touch the dried squid, and repeat. Doesn't this make it look like you have something to do and are busy?"
"This is your secret to laziness, but I can't practice it? You can't use your brain to do your own work at home. You guys should go to bed early."
After that, she stopped talking nonsense with him in the room. How could she not know what he was thinking? A lot of work was not finished yet, and there were a lot of people working there outside. How could she have the intention to lie down with him in the room.
Ye Yaodong watched her go out with regret, and had no choice but to pick up Ye Xiaoxi and play, "We are the only two left~"
At night, Ye Yaodong got up when the time came and went out to sea to fish as usual.
It's just that he waited at the pier for a while, but never saw his father. In the past, his father would arrive early and it was his father who was waiting for him. I don't know what happened today?
After waiting for half an hour, he still didn't see his father, so he had to ask Brother Asheng and his eldest cousin to wait for a while while he went to the old house to have a look. If he didn't go out, the tide would be too shallow and he wouldn't be able to get out.
Ye Yaodong was walking on the road with a flashlight. The village was quiet. As he was walking on the path, he saw the light of another flashlight on the other side of the bend.
When they turned the corner and met, he saw that it was his mother. Fortunately, they both had flashlights and knew in advance that there was someone at the corner, otherwise they would have been shocked when they turned the corner and met.
"Huh? Dongzi?"
"It's me, can you please stop shining your light on my face? It's very dazzling. You've already seen it's me, but you still have to shine your flashlight on my face again."
"This is not a smear story. I'm afraid I might admit it wrong, so I want to take a closer look."
"I am your son. Shouldn't you know me even after turning into ashes? You should know it by the sound of my voice. Where are you going? Where is my father? Why are you not up so late? I have been waiting at the dock for half an hour."
When asked about serious matters, he didn't forget to say a few words. I don't know if his first reaction after meeting his mother was to argue.
"Your father fell down from exhaustion and couldn't get up. He was complaining about pain in his shoulders and back. He asked me to come out and go to sea with you for him, and let him lie at home for a day to rest."
"Ah, you collapsed from exhaustion? I didn't hear him say that in the evening."
"He is old and loves to show off. He complained of backache and backache two days ago, but the flood season has not passed. A day without going is a day's loss. How can he be willing to do so? Let me not tell you. He wanted to get up just now, but I couldn’t get up, and I was screaming ouch and ouch, and I was woken up by him.”
"Okay, then let him rest for a day. He is really tired after working at high intensity for half a month. When daybreak, let him hang up a bottle of glucose. Don't go either. Two boats go to one boat. Enough."
"How can that be done? When the weather is good, you can go to sea when it's time to go out. If you don't go for a day, you will lose dozens of dollars. What's more, people are screaming. They have gotten up in the middle of the night and went to the dock to wait. Now you tell them to go back to sleep. ? I don’t have anything to do tomorrow anyway, so it’s okay to go with you for a day. I can help you, otherwise I won’t be able to do it alone.”
"Okay, then I'll go back and tell Ah Qing and ask her to come over to the old house tomorrow to take a look. You go to the dock first, tell Brother Ah Sheng and the eldest cousin first, and ask them to start the boat first. "
Without mobile phones, it was so backward and not that convenient. Everything had to be done on two legs and word of mouth.
Mother and son parted ways again.
Ye Yaodong went back and spoke briefly, then quickly ran to the dock.
Fearing that the tide would be too shallow to get out, they had already rowed the boat away from the shore. He still let other small wooden boats give him a ride before boarding the boat.
His mother can also sail a boat, but she is not that experienced and cannot tell the direction. Ye Yaodong is not confident about leaving his mother to others, so he and his mother share a boat, and let Brother A Sheng and his eldest cousin drive the same boat. .
Both boats are fishing at the same location, and they can see each other from a distance, echoing each other.
Mother Ye muttered while helping to pick the goods, "Isn't there something called a seine? You can catch more. It requires two boats to operate at the same time. Everything passing by can be caught in one net. It is better than your single-boat trawl. You I just got two boats, can I try them out?”
Ye Yaodong was a little impatient. His mother had been talking endlessly since she got on the boat, but what she said now was quite useful.
He stopped arranging the fishing net for a moment, put away the patient expression on his face, and really thought about it seriously, and said: "These two boats are not good, the load-bearing capacity of the net hoisting machine is not enough, the small net hoisting machine on the ship can only It can bear 1 to 1.5 tons, and there are no other equipment.”
The basic mechanical equipment of a seiner fishing boat includes: a series of winches, net-raising power pulleys, running winches, net head rope winches, etc., which are not as simple as a trawler.
These days, heavy industry is mainly developed, and turbines are not yet popular. Fishing boats at sea mainly use trawls. There are also other fishing boats, but they are not common. They basically belong to fishing companies.
"Ah, like this? Forget it, you have to spend extra money to repair it, which is a waste of money. Now it's good to trawl the net like this. It's better than many people. Let's just trawl the net."
"Well, trawling is the most practical and common, and the equipment is the most basic and simple. You don't need to go through all the fuss."
"I didn't say it, but I heard it from others, saying that a seine net can haul thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms."
"It depends on the size of the boat and the equipment. We small fishermen can just trawl."
"What about the ship you ordered from the shipyard?"
"A trawler too."
If it can also be used as a fishing boat, the shipyard in their small county cannot build it, and the cost is also very high, so I am not capable of doing it.
Medium-sized trawl boats that double as fishing boats are mostly double-deck type, with a long forecastle, a working deck at the rear, and a tail slide. Some are equipped with two net-rolling machines, which are used for bottom trawl and middle trawl respectively.
"It's good or bad. It will be great if such a big boat comes back next year. By then, it will be able to go fishing farther away, with more fish, and it will be easier to encounter fish schools, and it will make more money."
"Um."
"Have you started building your boat?"
"I don't know. I've been busy during this period, so I don't have time to go to the factory. When Aguang went to pay the deposit some time ago, I heard him say that the materials have been prepared and work should have started now."
"Let's go take a look when you have time. Your dad is too tired. Otherwise, he has a day off today and you can ask him to take a look."
"Don't worry, the contract has been signed and construction hasn't started yet. I can't see anything when I go there. I'll see when I get the time. The weather has been really good recently, it's been sunny all the time, and it's only occasionally cloudy, but it will be over soon. The sun is out again, the temperature is getting higher day by day, there is no wind or waves, and I can’t even think of taking a rest.”
Mother Ye said angrily: "Stop talking, God is very stingy."
Ye Yaodong reached out and made a zipper motion on his mouth to shut up.
Fortunately for him, he made two delivery trips to the city during this period, so he took the opportunity to rest for two days. However, his father worked from dawn to dusk without taking a break. He is already old and his physical fitness is not as good as that of young people. Such high-intensity work at sea is definitely too much.
"Go back and ask Ah Qing to buy a chicken from someone in the village. Kill it and stew it for dinner at night. During this time, the whole family is exhausted from working. I killed a chicken some time ago, and there were so many people in the house. My uncles are all here, but it’s not enough, so it seems like I’m the only one who ate a few extra pieces?”
"What does it look like? You are obviously the one who eats the most. Your grandma put all the good meat in your bowl, but your father only ate a chicken head and neck and drank a few mouthfuls of soup."
"Where is it?"
Ye Yaodong laughed.
I still remember that a few days ago, the chicken in his bowl was all over the top. He even gave a chicken drumstick to the three brothers and sisters. His father originally had a drumstick in the bowl, but he gave it to Ayuan and only gnawed one. The chicken head, neck, and feet were specially given to Ye Xiaoxi to eat so that she could walk more steadily.
"The ones at home are still too young. I will ask Ah Qing to go to the village and ask around in the evening to buy a chicken and a duck. One will be supplemented and the other will be eaten cold, so that I won't worry about not having enough food."
"Well, let's put this net down first, and then I'll sort it slowly. There doesn't seem to be much goods today, and there's nothing good."
"It's not much, just so-so. I should only scrape together thirty or forty yuan today to make a living."
He felt like a piece of his wealth had been plucked out, ruining his feng shui of Liuliu!
There were 6 hairs on one side that was originally good, which was perfect and very auspicious.
Yesterday, when his father came back, the harvest was quite good. Although it was some cheap fish, they were all taken off the boat in large baskets, unlike what he had today.
I caught a few dragonhead fish, mixed with blue anchovies, anchovies, and miscellaneous ones. I didn’t say which one would be more abundant. They all looked average, and there wasn’t a lot.
"Where did you pull out those squid before the flood season? I was busy catching squid during this period, and I didn't have time to pull them out. Are there any more? Is it still possible to pull them out? There are not many goods today, so I just caught them in one net. There’s nothing. If we can pull it out, let’s go pull it out from Jiang Yao. We can get a few more and make up for it when we go back.”
Ye Yaodong chuckled in his heart, could his mother know this?
"No more. The ones we found before have been taken away by us, and we don't see any more nearby. If there is no more, just go back early."
"Well, it's rare that I came out with you today, but I didn't receive any goods. What are these things? The anchovies and anchovies are not suitable for drying. They can only be used to make fish sauce..."
