Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1112 Solution
The money was indeed calculated!

He had just earned 2 yuan, but he could already calculate that he had earned 5 yuan. He almost couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the numbers on the notebook, he turned off the flashlight with a smile on his face, and gradually fell asleep listening to the snoring and the sound of waves in his ears.

Running back and forth for a whole day is no easier than being on the sea, and I am really exhausted. I have been on edge these days, fearing that something might happen again at sea.

As the captain of a ship, he worries more than anyone else. The boatmen don't need to use their brains, they just need to follow orders and do their jobs. After they are done, they can rest without having to think about anything else. He, on the other hand, has to use his brain as well as his physical strength.

Now I have bought a courtyard house and I am treating it as a reward to myself.

After some calculations, he still had more than 12 yuan left on hand, and he could receive another 000 yuan tomorrow. He decided to take some time out tomorrow to go ashore and use the money from the sales to remit another 4000 yuan back.

I ran around for house matters in the afternoon, and then I had to register and change the locks. I didn't have any time at all. It was only after I sold some jellyfish blood and other goods last night that I had more than twelve thousand left.

After thinking over the daily plans for the remaining few days, he gradually fell into a swaying sleep.

The next day, they continued the trajectory of the previous few days and arrived at the fishing spot as usual.

After several days of salvaging, everyone had reached a tacit understanding and both sides gradually let down their guard. Even though they saw that there were several fishing boats on the sea, Ye Yaodong did not say anything as they saw that they were all abiding by the agreement.

The local fishing boats return home with full loads every day, which of course will attract attention. The gradual increase in the number of fishing boats is also inevitable, and there will always be jealous local fishing boats following behind, looking for a place to fish.

As long as the tacit understanding is not broken, the new ship abides by the agreement and does not deliberately rob, for the sake of the interests of both parties, they must not fall out.

Now we have entered the peak season of jellyfish. A large number of jellyfish emerge every day, which is enough to support so many fishing boats to fish for a whole day. Everyone is so busy fishing that they certainly cannot take care of other fishing boats.

These local fishing boats are also returning for the first time this year. They have no idea that resources can also be exhausted. They only focus on what is in front of them. As long as there is enough to catch, no one cares about the new fishing boats as long as there is no conflict.

In this way, Ye Yaodong's daily income was steady at over 4000 yuan for a week, and the number of local fishing boats on the sea also increased day by day, doubling.

After long-term and intensive fishing, the jellyfish emerging from the trench have become a little weak, and their emergence rate is gradually decreasing as in the past few days.

Everyone noticed this phenomenon, but it was barely enough for so many fishing boats to catch fish. However, by the end of the month, they could only barely last until the evening, and could not keep up with the fishing speed. This was because the number of fishing boats had increased too much.

When we returned to the shore at night, everyone was discussing while queuing to sell goods.

"These locals are so immoral. We agreed to coexist peacefully, but after a few days, the number of their ships has increased day by day. If we hadn't thought about not causing trouble and avoiding a gunfight like the one a while ago, we would have beaten them so badly that they wouldn't even recognize their parents..."

"Don't brag. There are so many of them. If a fight really breaks out, we will get beaten up and go to jail together."

"I feel like the number has decreased in the past two days. Will I be unable to catch fish for a few days?"

"It looks like it will be similar to the late last year. It won't last for a few more days, and there are more boats."

"Fortunately, I have taken the opportunity to earn a lot these days. If the amount is smaller, we can finish it early."

"Ah Dong, the week you said is coming, right?"

Everyone looked at him who had already sold out his goods in advance.

"I'll remember the date and go ask tomorrow to see if there is any result."

"More than ten days have passed, there should be a result, right?"

"You'll know only if you ask."

How could he know the efficiency of work nowadays? Anyway, he would go and ask tomorrow Friday as agreed, and transfer the money he had saved in the past two days.

"Compared to the people who stay in there, we are pretty good. At least we can still make money."

"Yeah, when they were finally released, they really took out all the money. They didn't make any money, and they still had to stay in there for so long."

"You should be more content."

Ye Yaodong listened to the discussion of the group of people, thought for a while, and reminded them, "Now there are twice as many local ships on the sea as we do. If we can avoid conflicts, we should avoid them. Anyway, everyone has earned the money they deserve."

"The number will decrease day by day. When we see that there are almost enough fish, we can just go to the sea and fish them out. The most important thing is to get home safely."

"Don't make money and then end up fighting at the last minute and losing it all. This is very possible. After all, there are fewer people and more fishing boats. They will definitely fight over resources. You guys should be careful."

Ye Yaopeng also reminded them, "That's true. In the evening when the sun was about to set and there were not many jellyfish, a ship came to rob our goods. Fortunately, we backed off, otherwise there might have been another fight."

"Everyone wants to make more money. This is the case when the number is small. If the number is large, there is no need to fight. So I want you to take it easy in the next few days. What you have earned now is better than many people. You know, some people will definitely be shot."

Everyone nodded and some sighed.

Some of them were people from the town who had followed the Chen family for many years. They all felt a little sad. They had all come here with great ambitions to make money, but they didn't expect that less than half of them would return.

"I don't know if Chen Jianian has been arrested. I haven't heard anything about it in so many days."

"If he hadn't been arrested, he wouldn't have dared to go back. He encouraged so many people to come here with him to make money, but in the end, more than half of them couldn't go back. Who else would their families turn to if not him?"

"Yeah, in that case, it would be easier if he was caught, otherwise he would be beaten to death when he returns."

"We will know tomorrow whether he has been caught or not. If he hasn't been caught, he will have already escaped. He may have secretly returned home and taken his wife and children away with him."

Ye Yaodong looked curiously at the remaining team that was sorting out baskets for him, "Have you called home these days?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"No, I go out to sea before dawn every day and come back in pitch dark. How can I have the chance to go out and make phone calls?"

"That's right. That means the news hasn't been passed back yet. If Chen Jianian ran fast, he might have gone back quietly ahead of time and taken his wife and children away."

Everyone looked at each other. Some wanted to deliver the message but really didn't have the time. They had been working from morning till night these days. They were exhausted when they came back every day and fell asleep as soon as they lay down. They didn't have the energy to think about anything else. It was already a blessing from Mazu that they could keep themselves safe.

But the villagers didn't dare to say anything at all.

Everyone suffered losses on their ships, and everyone was still holding on to illusions, wanting to wait for the results to come out, and not daring to report the bad situation back.

If everyone can be rescued, then going back would be at most a little dangerous. But now, if there is no result, we will just worry in vain and get scolded. Usually, the captain will call his own relatives.

"Okay, I've reminded you, let's go back and eat after we've packed up. We still have to cook jellyfish blood later, so we're busy."

After hearing that the topic of discussion had changed from jellyfish to humans, Ye Yaodong urged his people to go back quickly.

He and the Harvest came back early and sold all the goods, while others were still queuing up to weigh their goods.

When he got back, he took the opportunity to give some instructions to the people on his side while eating.

He will go out to sea tomorrow morning, and he will have to go to the Coast Guard Bureau at noon, so if there are any fishing boats trying to steal goods at sea, he will give way to them if possible. Safety comes first.

His elder brother said that there had already been a rush to buy goods in the evening because the goods were scarce. It would probably be fine during the day tomorrow, but there would probably be a shortage of goods again in the evening, so he had to be careful, and he wouldn't be able to watch tomorrow.

Everyone nodded quickly. "We have no choice but to let them go. They are all small wooden boats. How dare we rob them? When we see a bigger boat coming, we will stay away from it."

Ye Yaodong also felt relieved. He only had a small boat, and these people were paid a fixed salary. Who would risk their lives for him to earn more or less? They were originally avoiding big ships, and after seeing the tragic situations before, they would definitely put saving their lives first.

"Well, safety first. Let's ask tomorrow and see if we can rescue the people. If we can, there probably won't be much in the trench after we release them. Everyone will have to search for them on the sea or go back early."

"It's better to go back early."

"I'm afraid the people who were just released won't be reconciled..."

"What can we do about it? It's their bad luck..."

Ye Yaodong ignored everyone's comments, finished his meal first and took a simple shower.

Seeing them eating, bathing, cooking, and drying their clothes in an orderly manner, he did not care and let them arrange it themselves. He also returned to the boat first and stopped guarding there.

The first thing he did when he got back on the boat was to calculate the money he had earned that day and record the account.

I didn't make as much today as I did in the previous few days. Without the jellyfish blood, the total sales for three trips were only 2600 yuan. Even with the jellyfish blood worth 900 yuan, the sales were only over 3500 yuan.

The price started to drop three days ago. At the highest point, it sold for 4400 yuan in a single day. He estimated that tomorrow it would only be around 3000 yuan. After all, jellyfish blood is the bulk of the profit.

As the catch decreased day by day, the amount of jellyfish blood also began to decrease sharply, losing several hundred yuan every day.

However, during the two days after rescuing the people, he can still earn a little more. A few hundred yuan is still a few hundred yuan. Others are working hard to earn a few yuan in salary, and it is already a great thing for him to earn a few hundred yuan a day.

After recording the accounts, he calculated what he had earned in the past few days. He wrote and drew on paper for a long time before he figured out that he had earned 28710 this week.

Adding the 14800 he earned in the previous few days, the total is 43510. He also earned 1 yuan from the hairtail and sea urchin. As of today, he has earned a total of 53510 on this trip.

After he got out, his biggest hobby was counting money. At home, he didn't have such a large amount of money to count, and it was all change. He would have a headache just thinking about counting a penny or two. Here, he collected large amounts of money, so he only had to record one entry.

After calculating his own, he also calculated the Harvest and other fishing boats.

When they were selling goods, he was watching from the side, so his estimate would be accurate.

The daily income of the Harvest Account has been over a thousand yuan in recent days. At its peak, it could be around 800 or yuan. Under normal circumstances, it is around a thousand yuan. Today it is a little less, only over yuan, and it will probably be even less tomorrow.

But in these few days alone, I should be able to earn more than 13000 yuan, and then after deducting the daily fuel costs, I can still earn around 12000 yuan, and this is without hairtail.

Other ordinary fishing boats should be able to earn more than 4000 yuan, so it can be said that everyone has a good harvest.

If we continue fishing for a few more days, we may be able to catch a little more.

This time, the polarization is quite serious.

Some are miserable, some are funny!
Although he was the one laughing, he still sighed in his heart and then closed the account book.

This year's flood season is a little earlier than last year, so correspondingly, the date for completing the salvage will definitely be advanced. In addition, with the recent increase in the number of fishing boats, they clearly felt that the number was decreasing very quickly when they fished the next morning.

Those who could hold on until the evening yesterday felt that they could only hold on until the afternoon today and had to give up early.

When Ye Yaodong went out in the morning, he did not look optimistic. When the small boat was moving the goods, he told them that in the afternoon, depending on the situation, if there were not many, they should go to the sea surface to search in advance and not stay in the trench.

I really felt uneasy because I didn't check it myself, so I had to explain it in advance.

But when he found time to go to the Coast Guard Bureau, he learned that Zeng Weimin had gone to a meeting early in the morning to deal with the gunfight at the dock and might not be back until next week, so he was asked to come back next week.

He could only return empty-handed and wait for another two days.

But when he ran back to the dock, he found that the sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly became cloudy and windy.

He looked at the sky as he ran, muttering to himself, "Why does it feel like a typhoon is coming?"

Only half of the goods had been collected at the dock, and everyone noticed that the sky had suddenly turned cloudy and frowned. But when they saw Ye Yaodong coming back so quickly, they were all so surprised that they didn't even bother to curse the sky.

"Why did Adong come back so soon?"

"Didn't he just go to the Coast Guard?"

"Dongzi, are you saying hello? So soon?"

Ye Yaodong ran out of breath, "He's not here. He said he was in a meeting to deal with our matter. He won't be back until next week. We have to wait for two more days."

"Oh, we have to wait another two days. That's a long time."

"Just wait two more days. We've waited this long, why bother waiting for two more days? We can still salvage some more fish in these two days."

"It looks like there's no way to salvage it. It looks like it's going to rain."

"The wind is picking up and the sky is getting overcast."

"It has been sunny all this time, from last month till now. It is very good that we can hold on until now. If it doesn't rain, the river will dry up."

Ye Yaodong thought that there would be a big typhoon this year. Although it would not land here, it would also blow towards the East China Sea. The coastal areas here would definitely be affected, but no one knew when it would come.

Anyway, there are the most typhoons in July, August, September and October every year. Now that we have entered July, there may be fewer typhoons.

Seeing the weather suddenly turn cloudy today, he was also a little worried.

As soon as he finished selling the goods, he ran to the Coast Guard and asked the Dongsheng to go back by itself. At this time, there was no trace of the Dongsheng on the sea, but he could wait until these fishing boats finished selling the goods and then take a ride on a boat.

While he was running back and forth, half of the boats had sold their goods and left, and there were only a few boats left. His second brother's boat happened to be there, so after his second brother finished selling his goods, he boarded his brother's boat.

But before they got back to the trench, it started raining, blurring everyone's vision.

Along the way, many small boats rowed towards the shore. When they were approaching the trench, they also encountered many fishing boats that were desperately trying to turn back.

We happened to meet the Dongsheng which was heading back.

His boat was still very eye-catching, among a crowd of small boats, with alternating white and blue colors, it was very conspicuous even in the rain from a distance. He waved the flag in advance, and then let his second brother go over first.

The deck was crowded with people, with a bunch of small boats tied behind them, and the jellyfish were probably in the fish hold.

When they saw him get on the boat, the first thing they asked was whether he could be rescued.

He had no choice but to repeat it again.

"Then we have to wait two more days. It's raining today. I don't know if it will rain tomorrow. The wind looks quite strong..."

"It's raining, so let's take a break. It's a good time to wait for the results. I felt that there were not many stocks this morning. As soon as the sky turned cloudy, before it rained, all the jellyfish on the sea surface sank."

"It's good that it's raining. Without the cargo, we can't salvage it, so naturally there won't be any conflict."

Ye Yaodong thought the same. He would feel sad if he gave up voluntarily, but if he gave up passively due to weather reasons, no one could get anything out, so it would be a balance.

It's just before the results come out, so there's no need to worry about any more disputes.

"We are lucky that we can still fish for so many days. It rained when the number of fish decreased."

"What the hell, the people are still inside, they are lucky."

"I said we, not them. Among those who came out, the lucky ones were very lucky, while the unlucky ones were very unlucky."

"That's true."

Ye Yaodong stripped off his wet clothes, went to the cockpit to take control of the fishing boat, and took everyone back together.

When they returned to the shore, the rain had not subsided but had increased instead. There was no one on the shore anymore. All the fishing boats that should have returned had already docked. There were no pedestrians on the road and all the purchasing points at the dock were closed.

Nowadays, houses are short and the eaves are very small. It is impossible to find a place away from rain to weigh the goods. Everyone can only wait in the rain.

When the truck came, it brought a roll of nylon bags. Everyone helped to hold it up so that we could have a place away from the rain to weigh the goods. It was a little embarrassing, but we have experienced worse things, so this was nothing to everyone.

But after selling all the goods, everyone was in trouble.

When it was sunny, it was fine for everyone to sleep on the fishing boats with a roll of mats. But now it was raining so heavily that there was no place to sleep except on the Dongsheng and Fengshou.

The Harvest was full of room, so everyone had to go look for Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong ran away with his people as soon as he sold all the goods.

The group of people looked left and right but couldn't find him after a round. After A Guang reminded them, they had no choice but to find a guesthouse to stay.

It was the next day when Guang was bored on the boat and came to play with him that he found out about this.

"You think I'm omnipotent. When something goes wrong, you think of me first, but when good things happen, you don't think of me."

"Who made you our leader? You are our backbone. You are the most capable among all of us."

"Tsk, if they really came last night, I wouldn't be able to accommodate them here, and I would have to take them to the guesthouse. I already have more than 30 people here. If they really came to me, it would be inconvenient to go out on this rainy day, and I would have to take care of their food and drink? You're just wishful thinking."

"It's miserable when it rains. You can't go anywhere. Fortunately, you are smart and bought a yard."

Ye Yaodong smiled, "Now you know I'm smart, right? It's good to have a house to shelter from the wind and rain at a critical moment. At least I don't have to be so embarrassed."

Ah Guang looked at a group of people gathered in the middle room, the sounds of gambling were lively, it made people feel happy just watching.

"Indeed, everyone can only huddle in a small space. You have a courtyard here, and everyone can take a break and gamble during the rain."

"We've been working non-stop for more than half a month. It would be strange if we didn't gamble when we finally relaxed from our tense state."

"I'll go and gamble too." A Guang rubbed his hands and hurriedly joined in.

Ye Yaodong was still sitting on the bench with his feet crossed, watching the heavy rain outside. A gust of wind blew over, bringing some of the rain outside in, wetting his feet.

He had no choice but to move the stool further inside.

"It's windy and rainy, it doesn't look good."

I didn't have a TV or radio, so I couldn't listen to the radio. I didn't know if there was a typhoon, so I could only judge based on experience.

Typhoon days are the most bizarre. Sometimes the sun is shining brightly, sometimes it is windy and cool for several days, or there may be heavy rain for several days.

Not long after A Guang came, Pei's father also came. Not long after, the rest of the people on their boat also came over and joined the gambling.

Then someone came up to him and asked for an advance on his wages, and he was speechless and could only stand up and take the money.

The results are not over yet.

He simply took the account book and held some cash in his hand, ready to wait for someone from the battle to come out for an advance. Otherwise, if someone came, he would have to get up.

Ah Guang just won more than ten yuan and came out with a very satisfied look on his face, "It was not a wasted trip today."

"Do I have to pay a venue fee?"

He felt that he was just sitting here like a stacker, raising money for people at any time.

"Can you still appreciate these little things?"

"No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat. There are dozens of people, and the meat and vegetables alone cost about 20 yuan a day. Fortunately, there are some vegetables planted in the front and back doors of this yard, which have helped us for so many days."

Ah Guang put away the money, brought a chair, sat beside him and asked seriously: "If there is news on Monday, should we deal with the matter and go back?"

"Yes, we will go back as soon as we have dealt with it. Do you still want to continue fishing here?"

“I’m afraid that people who have just come out won’t make any money and will get into trouble, and they won’t be willing to go back like this.”

"If he can really get out, he is very lucky. He is still in a good mood to continue fishing and is not afraid of another accident. I admire him."

"That's true. I'm scared after just one try. I guess I won't dare to stay for long."

"Well, I'm planning to go back immediately anyway. If others don't want to go back, then just ignore them and make your own plans."

Although he could continue catching sea urchins after the weather cleared up, half of the people he had captured were gone, and after they were released, they would surely be eager to return home.

Being arrested and detained for 10 days or half a month was no less than a disaster for the common people. How could they have the mood to make money for him? He could not ignore everyone's wishes and be inhumane, and he had earned enough.

"We won't know the result until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we don't know when the rain will stop."

"Whether the rain stops or not, it will not affect the ongoing case."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he saw another person coming to him and asking for an advance on his wages, so he simply took all the money and stopped paying him.

"That's about it. I've paid it all. I won't be able to explain myself when I go back. I came out to work and came back empty-handed. I didn't earn a penny. My wife will scold me to death. Okay, it's time to cook."

After he gave the order, everyone slowly stopped.

Those who count money count money, and those who sigh sigh.

After waiting for two days, the rain continued for two days without stopping, and the wind became even stronger.

When Monday came, Ye Yaodong kept waiting after breakfast. The heavy rain outside never stopped. When the time came, he could only put on his straw raincoat and hat and continue to go to the Coast Guard Bureau in the rain.

I wasn't stood up today.

When he went there, Zeng Weimin got straight to the point and said, "We had three days of meetings last week and came up with a solution. I have also tried my best to arrange activities. I can bail your father out directly. There aren't many relatives of yours in the group, right?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Yes, there are three or four cousins, and seven or eight uncles, and a few other relatives..."

Zeng Weimin couldn't help but laugh, holding his forehead and said, "You have too many relatives. They really come here with their families to make money."

"Well, people in our area like to stick together as a family or a neighborhood. If there's money to be made, then of course we all go together. We didn't expect this to happen this year."

"You have too many people. I don't have the authority to bail out all the relatives related to you."

"Try your best. Although I want everyone to come out, I don't want to make it too difficult for you. I don't dare to expect too much."

He was already relieved that his father had been able to be bailed out directly, and everyone else could only do their best.

"You were caught while running away... Again, you participated, and you behaved well, but you didn't take any responsibility at all. It's unlikely that you can be released unscathed without any punishment. If there are fewer people, I can still make the decision."

"Can I get a lighter sentence then? I really do have a lot of relatives..."

"Yes, we have already discussed it. For those of you who have committed less serious crimes and have not caused any trouble, we have discussed it in a meeting. We can directly pay money to redeem you, per head."
