Chapter 932 Earn More than Last Year (7000 Words)

Everyone was gloating about their misfortune. If they were caught, they could rest easy.

After listening to the excitement for a while, they seized the moment and shouted to everyone to go to sea again.

When he came back in the evening, Aguang told them about the fight in the morning vividly.

It turns out that it was really Chen Guolong who was the last wave of gangsters who did it. I heard last night that these people were collecting protection money on the pier yesterday evening and slandered him and called him a waste, so I aggressively went to find someone to fight him early this morning.

Recently I heard that he had found a job, so he had no time to take care of the dock, so these people took advantage of him.

Originally, these idle young people loved to fight when they had nothing to do. They listened to whoever had the bigger fists, and there were many who formed gangs.

The skating rink has been the favorite place for all young people in the past two years. It has never been empty from morning to night, and every time it is blocked, it is always crowded, so there was a lot of fighting in the morning, and in the afternoon the rink was mostly empty.

"Then it's better now, it's peaceful."

"It's better to use Dongzi's tricks. What's this called? This is called diverting misfortunes to the east."

"They are stupid."

"We also went to the ice skating rink in the afternoon. It looked quite lively there. Although this is just a town, there are quite a lot of young people."

"No one can resist an ice skater. Our old arms and legs can't slide, and we will break our bones if we fall."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin and said, "When I go back, buy some pairs of skates as gifts for the children at home."

"There are no children, right?"

"What does it matter? Just tighten the straps and it will be fine. Children grow up quickly after falling."

"There's no place to slip there, it's all dirt roads."

"My small workshop is fine. The floor happens to be flat. You don't dry fish there every day. You can play with it, or let them take it to school to play by themselves. The school floor is flat."

"My daughter is too young and can't walk yet. I'll give it a try in a few years."

"Can I buy it for your nephews and nieces? I have a lot of your nieces and nephews at home."

Aguang glanced at him, gave him a look, and felt it for himself.

"What are you talking about? You've made so much money, why don't you thank me? I'll buy some gifts for your nieces and nephews before you go back later. I'll make sure you become their favorite uncle in an instant."

"Who do you like the most? You are the only uncle, okay?"

"Too."

"Okay, then it's settled." Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder.

Great, another saving.

Aguang glanced at him and said nothing, which was equivalent to acquiescence.

Xiaoxiao changed the subject and asked, "I seemed to have seen Chen Jiannian just now. Is his injury healed?"

"Almost, let me make an appointment for him tomorrow and call Yang Guoan to have dinner with him."

Ah Zheng asked in surprise: "Then he will get up by himself to receive the goods tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"It's a good thing for him. He stayed at home for a few days and he felt fine after he recovered. I guess he doesn't need to ask for this meal."

"You think it's simple, you still have to hire someone," Ye Yaodong interjected, "After all, he still wants to take over the job of working as an intermediary to make money. This money is so easy to make, and he doesn't need to be exposed to wind, sun or rain. , and there is no cost.”

Aguang also said: "Yes, this money is so easy to earn. Since you want to come here every year to earn this money, you still have to take care of it. I don't expect much help from others, but at least let outsiders know that you are not that good." Easy to bully.”

"It sounds like a lot of trouble. Forget it, I can only just keep fishing. If I had this brain, I would go to school."

"IQ and EQ are two different things, brother."

Ah Zheng is confused, what are IQ and EQ?

Ye Yaodong shook his head and stopped talking nonsense with them. "Let's go. Let's play cards and sleep."

"If you don't fight, you will win every day. They seem to be the boss, so I'll take advantage of them."

Xiaoxiao immediately followed, "I'll go too!"

"I'll go take a look too." A Guang followed closely.

A group of big men gathered together, and before it was time to go to bed, they had to find some entertainment. There were dozens of people, and it was inevitable that they would want to gamble and have fun.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but feel lucky that all of their wages would be paid after they returned home. Otherwise, if he had two dollars in his pocket when he came out, he would owe two hundred dollars when he returned home. His wife would probably have to find him.

I don’t have much money in my pocket, and I work hard every day. I will be more relaxed when gambling. If I have no money, I won’t borrow too much.

Seeing that they were all watching others gambling, Ye Yaodong also went over to join in the fun for a while.

But he didn't gamble. There was really a crowd of people surrounding it. People outside were still standing on their chairs looking in, and they couldn't squeeze in.

Looking at the smoky house, he thought that it was originally a gambling den. He stopped at the door, took a look, and then returned to another house to lie down on the floor and look after the house.

Fortunately, there were already a lot of them, so it was normal for them to be noisy, and they wouldn't play for too long. Otherwise, if they gathered people to gamble, the neighbors would report them immediately, and they would have to trouble others to make money.

No one came to collect protection money, and they all felt much better.

Chen Jianian got out of bed the next day and contacted the car to receive the goods. The people he brought naturally sold the goods to him.

Aguang doesn't care, anyway, he still has 18 ships here. After deducting Dongzi's agency fees for two ships, there are still 16 ships. That much cargo is enough for him to earn.

As soon as it is time to receive goods, the pier is filled with jellyfish. They are so densely packed that at a glance, there are all kinds of containers in the open space.

We were so busy that we continued fishing non-stop until the fishing boats sold out. After all, it was the flood season, so everyone saved their time for eating and used it for fishing.

However, some boats come back early, and some boats come back late, which is equivalent to people and cars coming and going at the pier all day long.

The gangsters in the town did not go to the pier to collect protection money. They might have been caught, or they might be afraid that Chen Guolong would cause trouble again. What's more, they might be directly afraid that they have many people and guns.

Anyway, no one dared to cause trouble for their group without knowing what they were doing, and no one from Chen Jianian's side also wanted to cause trouble for him.

We were fishing and selling goods peacefully, and everyone felt much more relaxed psychologically, but there were unforeseen circumstances.

There were no man-made disasters, but natural disasters. At the end of the month, there was another typhoon.

I probably didn't come directly from the town, maybe I was just passing by. After the sun shone brightly for a few days, it rained lightly for two days. The wind blew strong for a long time, and then it cleared up immediately.

It was rare for them to rest, so when it didn't rain, they would go out for a walk together.

Ye Yaodong has been thinking about the password box for many days. It is not just for saving money, but it can be used to store clothes. The key is that it looks good and looks stylish when carried in his hand! Take it out and it will be more respectable!

It just so happened that the rain stopped and it was just windy there. When everyone went out for a walk, he bought one by the way.

And A Guang and others were extremely moved after seeing it.

Lockbox, this looks much better in your hand than a sackcloth bag.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, just pick this up in your hand, you're a big boss."

"Doesn't it look good?" A Guang held it in his hand and gestured back and forth, feeling a little proud.

"It's beautiful. When I carry this lockbox, my eyes can grow on the top of my head when I'm walking on the road." Azheng also liked it very much after seeing it. "Only bosses carry this kind of lockbox. I want to buy one too!"

"You each buy one, or should I buy one too?" Xiaoxiao was also greedy.

"Buy, buy, let's all buy. Each of us will buy one. When the time comes, we will go ashore and return to the village. It will be more honorable." Aguang encouraged them to buy one each.

Xiaoxiao said: "The main reason is to use it to store bills. Otherwise, the bills would be stuffed everywhere, wrinkled, or wet, or forgotten where to put them."

Ye Yaodong also said: "Whether it's luggage or toys, it's convenient to have a suitcase like this. You don't have to carry a cloth bag or a sack everywhere."

"Then one for each person."

Each of the four people was carrying a password box. As soon as they stepped out of the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Ah Zheng reached out to stop them. He took the lead to take a step forward and then turned to face them.

"No, we still need sunglasses! We also need a floral shirt and bell-bottom pants!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the sky speechlessly, walked around him and walked forward, "Do you think we are here to play?"

The others walked around him and followed.

A Guang: "That's a good idea. You have sunglasses, a flowery shirt, and bell-bottom pants. Those who don't know better would think you're only 18, but you're actually 28."

"What's wrong with 28? I've just become a father at 28, so why can't I wear floral shirts and bell-bottom pants?"

Ye Yaodong: "It's hard for an old man to talk about it. I became a father at the age of 21, and people of this age still imitate those in their teens and twenties wearing floral shirts and bell-bottoms."

"My grandma is still wearing floral shirts, why can't I wear them? It's a trend. I see a lot of young people wearing them on the street."

Xiaoxiao: "Then you buy it, no one is stopping you."

"Forget it, you didn't buy it, so wouldn't it be weird for me to go back to the village alone?" He followed behind me in a hurry, "Don't you think those young people look very stylish wearing sunglasses? "

"Then you buy it."

"Then will you buy it?"

"If you want to buy it, just buy it. Why are you asking us?"

"Isn't it necessary to unify the formation? If you want to buy it, buy it together. It will look more stylish when everyone wears it together. Otherwise, if I wear it alone, I always feel weird."

"Is it cool to go fishing in sunglasses?" A Guang asked.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

Ah Zheng was instantly stunned. He was just a fisherman. He either went out to fish every day or was at home walking around with his cat and playing with his dog. He wore sunglasses. People might think he was blind.

A Guang said as he walked: "When you go back, you can buy one and wear it to play with. It can also be regarded as a souvenir."

"It's still too early to go back."

"Just buy one. It doesn't cost much anyway. If you buy one, I will buy one with you."

Ye Yaodong thinks those floral shirts and bell-bottoms are boring, but this is the trend, the most popular at the moment.

However, sunglasses are quite practical at sea. The sea surface is often reflected by the sun, so it is not dazzling to wear sunglasses at sea.

Ah Zheng was instantly happy, "Let's go, let's go back."

The two of them walked into the supply and marketing cooperative arm-in-arm.

Ye Yaodong walked around again and saw overalls for sale, so he bought two more, but they were for children.

The two silly boys at home were so happy.

The other three people looked envious, they had no sons! Only daughter!

"When I go back, I will give birth to a son."

"Me too."

Ye Yaodong glanced at them. His son was of no use at all. He only knew how to spend money, so he might as well have a daughter who would buy things for the old man.

I didn’t tell them that it would be better for them to have more children, so that they could have more than one son at a time.

He changed the subject, "It seems that the typhoon has little impact. It only rained for two times. The wind and rain have stopped now and are probably over. We should be able to go to sea tomorrow."

"It was probably swept by the tail of the typhoon."

I didn’t see anyone along the way, everything was wet, and there were few people going out on a rainy day.

Each of them carried a suitcase. They originally wanted to show off, but as they walked on the road, there were only one or two ghostly figures, and they came and went in a hurry, without raising their heads, only looking at their feet.

Azheng was originally wearing sunglasses when he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, so he had to take them off secretly.

I was so disappointed that I could only take it back and show it to the villagers.

When Father Ye saw Ye Yaodong coming back with the password box, he originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that each of them had one, he stopped talking. The law does not punish everyone, and he has also made a lot of money during this period. If he wants the password box, then Buy one.

The boatmen were very curious when they saw it, and they were very excited when they touched it. But after hearing the price, they stopped eating.

Don't even think about working as workers. After all, it's just for clothes, so it looks better and saves some money. After working for so long, they haven't seen their wages yet, so they have to go back to get money.

"Dongzi, how much does this lockbox cost?"

"Your monthly salary."

"It's so expensive. It's not a good idea to buy anything else. Buy a lockbox and then give it to everyone in one pot and take it all away."

"I don't want to put money down, so what are I afraid of? The suitcase will look great when I carry it back home, and I'll be able to return home in fine clothes!"

Father Ye shook his head and ignored him. He couldn't care about him when he had no money, and even less when he had money.

After three days of rest, after the rain stopped, everyone had a good sleep tonight.

Because it rained a few nights ago, all the basins and bowls in the house were taken out to fill with water. Most of the night, everyone could hear the sound of dripping water.

The ground in the house was very wet, and everyone spread a layer of straw on the ground before they dared to put down their mats to sleep, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sleep.

It's no different from my own home, which turns into a sieve when it rains.

When I woke up the next day, it was bright and bright, and the sky was glowing with red light. The sun was definitely going to shine, and the typhoon had really passed.

I was lucky. I was just swept by the tail of the typhoon, and it passed in two or three days without much impact. The tide on the sea was still strong, the waves were a bit big, and the sea water was very turbid.

There are many fishermen on the shore hesitating whether to go out to sea. The waves are a bit big. Although they are just along the coast, small wooden boats are not very good at resisting wind and waves.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were also there to discuss whether to go. After all, the typhoon had just passed and the waves were a bit big and they would not recede so quickly.

In the past, just after a typhoon, even if the weather was bright and sunny, they would stop for another day or two and wait for the weather to calm down before going out to sea.

But now is the flood season, and a day's suspension will be a huge loss.

Many fishermen on the shore were reluctant to leave and hesitated, but no one dared to be the first to sail out directly.

They are also discussing.

The younger ones all told me to go out and have a try, and then come back if something goes wrong.

But the older generation all said that it would be safer to stop for a day. With so many people on the boat, it would be very troublesome if something unexpected happened. Moreover, the waves outside are really too big. It doesn’t mean that you can come back right away if you want to. The wind and waves ruthless.

Just when they were arguing, a big wave rolled up and with a bang, all the people who were close to each other were showered from head to toe.

"It's really heartbreaking."

"Okay, there's no need to go. There are such big waves on the shore, let alone outside."

"Then go back to sleep?"

"Okay, let's all go back, go back, the waves are too big, we can't go..."

Just when everyone shook their heads in regret, another big wave rolled up, but this time the big wave rolled up a large piece of seafood, as if to make up for the empty hand in the previous wave.

With a snap, fish, shrimps and crabs were rolled up everywhere on the ground, and some people were even hit. The fish hit them directly into their arms, and they hugged them full. This was a surprise.

Father Ye suddenly had an octopus in his arms. He was stunned. When the octopus twisted its tentacles and crawled back and forth on him, he reacted in a panic and quickly caught it.

"Bucket, bucket, bucket, did you bring a bucket? It fell directly into my arms..."

"A crab also fell off my head, and it clamped my hair. Damn it, those big pliers..."

"There is also a fish under my feet, still moving..."

"Look again quickly, pick them up, they are all swept up by the waves..."

"Oh, this is a big fish, hurry up and pick it up, the lunch dishes are all here..."

Everyone on the pier was caught off guard by the wave, and they all bowed their heads to pick it up.

Just after the waves on the sea had finished churning and receded, another wave rolled up in an instant, and another wave rolled up. Everyone either squatted or bent down to look for it, and their backs suffered a severe wave.

Ye Yaodong was also hurt by the sea water, but two big white pomfrets also fell from his back.

Anyway, he was already soaked by the sea water, so he simply took off his vest to pack the fish, otherwise they would be empty-handed and have nothing to pack when they came out.

"Ah, let me go. Someone picked up a jellyfish over there."

"We have them here too, and two small ones just happened to fall next to them. If any of you go back and get a basket, there is nothing to put it in, so you can't take it back."

"I'll get it, I'll get it..."

The people on the shore were crazy with joy, and everyone looked down and looked everywhere with smiles on their faces.

"Yesterday, when the wind and waves were strong, nothing hit us. Today, the rain has stopped. I didn't expect the waves to be so strong..."

"How do you know nothing was picked up yesterday? Everyone who was close yesterday had already come out to pick it up."

"Then wait and see if there are any more. Anyway, I can't go out to the sea. I'm all wet..."

Ye Yaodong and the others gathered the goods they picked up at their feet and waited for someone to bring them a basket to put them in.

This wave did not hit all the time, it only hit two times and then stopped.

"Forget it, there's no need to keep picking it up here. It's not worth anything anyway. Let's take a day off today, or come out and have a look in the afternoon. If there's nothing to do, you can go there in the afternoon."

"Then let's take a look after lunch..."

Ye Yaodong thought that since he didn't go to sea, he would call home later and ask. After all, there was a typhoon, and almost the entire area around the coast would be affected.

When the rain affected him the day before yesterday, he made a phone call back. Now that the typhoon has passed, he plans to call again to check and report that he is safe.

The waves on the shore were not always very high. While they were waiting, they basically just rolled and washed up a little. Waves as big as just now never appeared again.

When the basket was brought over, they threw all the goods that everyone picked up into it and carried it directly back to the rental house. They did not join in the fun with the locals and waited on the shore to pick it up.

It has already entered September, and I don’t know if there will be a little more cargo due to the delay in fishing due to typhoons in the past few days.

When they were fishing before the typhoon, all the boats had already squeezed into the mouth of the bend after fishing for a whole day.

It’s okay to delay for a while due to this typhoon, there is a buffer, and we can see if we can recover a little longer so that we won’t be fished out so quickly.

Otherwise, according to his observation, the goods in that trench would probably be arrested within no more than ten days.

There are too many fishing boats, and the daily catch is so huge that what floats cannot keep up with what is taken away.

If everything is harvested in about ten days, everyone will have to find another way out. I just don’t know when the flood season will be over?

Last year, there was not much cargo before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they stopped fishing and went back to celebrate the festival. If they waited for the trench to finish fishing and there were not many cargoes on the sea, they might just go back early.

After Ye Yaodong went back, he had nothing to do, and discussed with his father that he might end fishing early this year and go back early.

Father Ye also watched every day and was mentally prepared.

"If we finish fishing in advance, we might as well go back in advance. After all, it has been more than a month since we came out. Last year, we only stayed for a little over a month and then went back. This year has been longer than last year, and you have also made a lot of money. "

"Who would complain that the money is too much? We can't just look at the time. We came early this year, and the flood season should be longer. It's rare that the pier has been so quiet recently, and no one is looking for trouble. It feels a pity to go back early."

"Yes, after the local young people had a fight, we completely calmed down and felt comfortable. It would be a pity to go back directly like this. We can make arrangements later."

"Um."

"How much have you earned since we came out?"

"It's almost 20,000. The expenses haven't been calculated yet. I'll do it slowly when I get back."

Father Ye nodded, his eyebrows and eyes were curved in a smile, and his mouth smiled so much that a row of yellow teeth was exposed.

"It's much more than last year. One boat last year didn't earn as much as one boat this year. Last year, it was only 8,000 or 9,000 yuan before expenses were deducted."

(Just) His father described it really well.

Sure enough, humans are the most greedy animals. In comparison, now I feel that earning 10,000 yuan in a flood season is nothing special.

Ye Yaodong was also extremely satisfied with this year's harvest and lowered his voice, "We can still fish for a few more days. Our two boats can't break 30,000 this year, and 27,800 will definitely be no problem."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone else hear you."

"I said it very quietly, weren't you the one who asked?"

"Haha, after being busy for so many days, of course I will also want to know the harvest. It's worth taking a risk."

"Well, you go talk to the others later and tell them that the position won't last long and won't last until the end of the flood season. Let others be mentally prepared. I want to go out and make a phone call. "

Father Ye felt worried for a moment, "This year, the cargo in the trench will not last until the end of the flood season, so next year it will probably be even worse. There will definitely be more ships next year, and it will definitely be harder to fish."

"What can I do? Anyway, I have earned back the money I should have earned this year, so I will treat it as earned in advance. I can be satisfied with making so much under the eyes of the locals."

"Their local fishing boats can only earn two to three thousand at the end of the flood season. We secretly made so much, we should be laughing."

"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. We haven't finished making money this year yet. I'll go talk to my in-laws."

After Ye Yaodong saw his father go out, he followed him out and called his friends together to make a phone call.

Otherwise, it will be boring to come and go alone. If you are alone, you will be dragged into the alley and beaten by jealous people, which will be unjust.

Everyone happened to be free and said they were going to make a call, so they all followed.

"Oh, I almost want to go back."

"It's the same for me. It's the first time I've been out for so long. A golden kennel or a silver kennel is not as good as my own dog kennel."

"Then you go back quickly and leave the money to me."

"Tch, that's not okay, money is my life."

"Dongzi, how long do we have to fish?"

"It will probably end before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then we will see if there is a lot of goods. If there is not a lot of goods, we will go back early. You will make a lot of money anyway."

"You are the one who is really making a lot of money. Both boats are great weapons. We are all in one boat. You are the only one in two boats. You are making more than double what we are."

"Shhhhhhh, don't talk about money when you're outside, talk about other happy things."

"Dongzi!" Azheng whispered in a sly voice: "The boatmen on my boat said they found a good place where they could go and have some fun. Recently, whenever they win money, they take turns going there in twos and threes."

"You want to go too?"

"Don't you want to go?"

"You obviously want me to be beaten when you ask this question." A Guang said resentfully.

"Oh yes, your brother-in-law is right next to you."

Ye Yaodong glared at Ah Zheng, "No, Ah Guang. It's up to you two to go or not. Anyway, I won't go. I have to protect my wife like a jade."

"Tch~ If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?"

"I have a hard time with my conscience. My wife is such a good person. She takes care of the children, looks after the elderly, and dries dried fish for viewing in the workshop. How can I do this?"

"It will be full."

Ye Yaodong kicked him and didn't care about him. Looking at the post office in front of him, he went in first, first come, first served.

"Dongzi, by the way, ask the old man at the gate to go to our house and call someone."

"Know."

The number of calls in the village was also overflowing during this period. Someone called back every now and then. The number of calls this month was more than all the previous months combined.

As soon as Ye Yaodong answered the phone, he heard the noise of children on the other end of the phone.

Ye Xiaoxi's voice was the loudest, and he also heard the sound of banging on the table.

Lin Xiuqing's voice came helplessly from the other end of the phone, "Your daughter can even make a phone call with a brick during this period. She just chirped and heard your phone call at the door. She ran away. I almost ran away." Can’t catch up.”
