Chapter 830 Fixed Assets
I was lucky today. When I collected the ground pots and shrimp pots, there was no jam at the bottom, but I didn't get much. What I put down at night was collected in the afternoon.
Because I won't go out to sea tomorrow, I have to collect it before going back today, otherwise if I put it away the day after tomorrow, the fish and shrimps in it may die again.
It will be collected today, and there will be a gap of one day tomorrow. If you come back to collect it the day after tomorrow, it will be fine. There will be more goods, and it will not be dead.
When they were collecting the last shrimp pot, the boat driven by Brother Aseng and his friends also came close to them.
"Not finished yet?"
"Didn't I see your ship parked nearby for a long time today? Why haven't you finished collecting it yet?"
The two of them felt a little strange and asked one after another.
I thought they had stayed so long to close the net, but it turns out they haven't closed it yet. So what were they doing before?
As for the position change, they didn't think much about it, because there was always a distance between the rows of cages when they were lowered, and they would have to move the fishing boat to close them.
Ye Yaodong explained: "Before, when the tide was low and the water level was shallow, I went into the water nearby to look for Jiang Jue. I was worried that the time was almost up before I came to collect the ground cages, so I have not finished collecting them until now."
"Oh, it turns out you were looking for it in the surrounding area. Why don't you ask us to go into the water and look for it too."
The two of them suddenly realized why they kept changing ships recently.
"The air pressure under water is high. I'm afraid you won't be able to go down a few meters and your ears won't be able to bear it. I've gone back and forth several times. I'm more familiar with it and can bear it better. And if two boats go into the water to look for this, then who will drag the net? If this is the case, If you don't find it, you will have nothing to lose and suffer from the northwest wind?"
"Now at least one boat is trawling to make money, and there is a guarantee. Let's take a look at it when the sun is strong and the light is good at noon."
Both of them felt that it made sense. They couldn't be left empty-handed, at least there had to be a guarantee.
Ye Yaodong then informed them in advance, "Tomorrow my father and I have to go to the county town for business. We won't be coming out tomorrow. You guys should have a day off together."
Father Ye glanced at him and felt that his excuse was not bad. Who knew that he really planned to go to the county.
The other two people looked at each other in confusion, and Brother Asheng couldn't help but said: "After the flood season, we didn't even go out to sea for a few days. In total, we only went out for three or four days in half a month..."
"Don't worry, the wages agreed to will be paid monthly anyway, and they won't change. You won't lose wages just because you have a break..."
"No, I mean it's not good to get paid for nothing and not work. I haven't even gone there for a few days and have to rest. The weather looks pretty good, no wind or waves."
The eldest cousin also nodded and said: "Yes, if the weather is bad and the wind and waves are strong, then there is nothing to say, but tomorrow should be good weather, otherwise we can drive a boat out to trawl the net? If you and your uncle come back tomorrow, you can come out Can we pick up the goods at the dock? This way we can make more money and we won’t lose wages.”
Ye Yaodong smiled. Are you not happy just taking money and not working? fine.
If you don’t want to rest and want to help him work and earn money for him, of course that’s fine.
"Of course you can. Then tomorrow you two will drive a boat to trawl the net. Just use the boat you are driving now. Let my dad go to the dock to pick up the goods tomorrow evening."
"Okay, that's for the best, otherwise it would be a shame to have to rest in nice weather."
"Well, you guys take care of the fish first, and I'll just put the cage back in again."
As the two boats walked back, the sky gradually darkened, but because of the long days and short nights in summer, when they docked, the sky was filled with glow, and the sunset glow was like burning clouds, extending from the farthest place to the eyes.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the clouds, and the entire sky was dyed with a warm color.
"Today's sunset is quite beautiful."
Father Ye also turned his head and took a look. It looked good, but after running around and working all day, he was exhausted. Who was still in the mood to see whether the sky was good or not.
He said casually, "The weather is getting hot, and it's like this at night. Let's move all the goods down first. It's getting dark soon."
"Um."
The sky also darkened during their work, and the sunset slowly extinguished in an instant.
After the two of them moved all the cargo off the ship, they checked the cabin again and made sure it was locked properly before disembarking.
As usual, the father and son greeted familiar people cheerfully and chatted for a few words without showing any abnormality. Everyone could understand that they were happy because they had gained a lot. After all, they had two boats.
Ye Yaodong, on the other hand, carried the bucket of good goods he had fished out of the sea to the cart alone. He did not put it together with the goods to be sold, so that his father could see it.
"Aren't you selling this?"
"This bucket must be given away, not sold."
Father Ye frowned, this is so expensive, who should I give it to?
Reminiscing that he went to the border defense station to give gifts a few days ago and came back with a TV, Father Ye immediately became alert and quickly pulled him and whispered: "Are you going to buy something again? Those You can’t buy a refrigerator or a washing machine..."
"ah?"
Ye Yaodong also understood that his father had misunderstood and thought that he was thinking about what to buy again, so he went to give gifts.
"No, I don't want to buy anything. I plan to take it to the county seat and give it to Director Chen. I happen to have free time tomorrow and I have these things on hand. It's time to come and thank him."
"Director Chen? Director Chen from the Maritime Safety Administration who came to our house several times at that time? Was he the one who asked the border defense office to leave a boat for you?"
"Yes, it's him. Without that boat, I wouldn't be able to make as much money during the flood season."
Father Ye was instantly relieved and nodded quickly, "That's right. I happen to be free tomorrow, so you can go there tomorrow and bring more cuttlefish at home and some dry goods. Your two sisters-in-law have also been doing this recently. Got a lot of sun exposure.”
"I know, let Ah Qing weigh them all tonight, and I will take care of them and deliver them tomorrow."
After the two agreed, they went to wait for the scales to be weighed.
Lin Xiuqing waited for them to come back. After knowing that he was going to the county town to deliver gifts tomorrow, she started busy preparing things for him to deliver tomorrow.
Because there were too many things, she tied a wooden board on the back seat so that he could easily put the sacks on it and tie them up. Otherwise, he would not be willing to walk if he had to push them on a cart.
She knew him so well.
Seeing how busy she was going in and out, Ye Yaodong didn't tell her what happened at sea today. After taking a bath, he told her to wake him up at 9 o'clock, then lay back in the house and fell asleep.
The children watching TV in the main room also knew that he was tired after returning from the sea and wanted to go to bed early. They were very sensible and did not make much noise. They sat there quietly watching TV. The main reason was that they were afraid of being kicked out and did not have to watch. .
He also fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. It was not until 9 o'clock that Lin Xiuqing turned off the TV and urged them to go back to their respective homes to sleep. Only then did a wailing sound sound in the main room, and everyone was reluctant to let go.
The TV series was being watched with great enthusiasm, but suddenly it was about to be turned off. These children were reluctant to leave, but they were all bargaining there to watch the TV series at 10 o'clock, because according to what they observed while watching TV recently, they would not be able to receive the channel after 10 o'clock!
Ye Yaodong woke up immediately when he heard the noise outside. Originally, he would wake up easily if he had something on his mind. Before going to bed, he told Ah Qing to send the children to bed at 9 o'clock and wake him up.
There were still intermittent voices outside the house. He pondered for a while before getting up and going out.
"Go home and sleep, and be obedient, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow. If you don't obey, I won't turn on the TV for you to watch tomorrow."
When Lin Xiuqing heard the sound of the door opening, she raised her head and glanced up. The original friendly expression on her face also disappeared, and she frowned, "I woke up all of you uncles. Don't watch it tomorrow."
Now everyone was embarrassed and ran home in despair.
She also drove her two sons back to the house to sleep, and then said: "What are you doing up at this time? I asked you earlier, but I just said we'll talk later."
"Hmm~" Ye Yaodong stretched hard, and then said, "I want to be a thief."
"Then it's midnight, what kind of thief are you doing at this time?"
“The pier is crowded in the middle of the night.”
Ye Yaodong whispered to her again what happened during the day.
"It's just you, me and dad. It's fine if the three of us know about it. No one can tell. Later, when there's no one around, dad and I will go outside the dock to transport the box back and find a place in the yard to bury it first. ”
Lin Xiuqing's mouth opened wide after hearing this. She couldn't find her voice for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that he spoke seriously and didn't look like he was lying, she would have thought he was talking nonsense.
A large box of gold, vases, dishes, and jade Guanyin were all fished out of the sea. Why are there so many treasures in the sea?
Why is it so easy to get him?
"Are you serious?"
"Nonsense, lying to you won't do me any good. If you hadn't thought about me not sleeping next to you in the middle of the night, you would have known. I didn't want to tell you yet."
There were so many babies brought back at once, and she didn't know how to react.
"Are they going to be buried underground again?"
"Otherwise, where should I put it? Put it under the bed? How can I rest assured? It's better to bury it in the ground first. Just after coming out of the sea, I can feel the mother of the earth. These things are of no use to us, and we don't have it now. If you dare to take it out, I don’t know if it will be used in the future, so just leave it for now and bury it underground for safety.”
"Well, that's fine. This is just like that box of gold cakes. It can't be seen by others. It can only be kept as a treasure at the bottom of the box and will be used as a family heirloom in the future."
"My opponent, that's what I'm saying. We don't know how to deal with it. Let's leave it to our children and grandchildren to worry about."
Anyway, it's impossible for him to stop going to sea just because he caught these. It's rare to do it again. In this life, he still wants to try to be diligent and live a different life from his previous life.
Life feels quite enjoyable now, and I don’t want to be broken by these external things. These can only be used as fixed assets, so let’s bury them first.
