Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1131 Is the truth?
At night, around two in the morning, Ye Yaodong opened his eyes and woke up automatically.

It has been a while since he got up so early, but as long as he has something on his mind, he can get up immediately. In addition, he also made up for a nap during the day, so he is full of energy at night.

He got up and put on his clothes rustlingly. Lin Xiuqing mumbled a few words of advice to him and then went back to sleep.

There was already a lot of light from the flashlights outside the dock, with swaying halos. When he went out, A Guang's people had not arrived yet, but they were already moving things.

He also helped to carry the things, and then followed the small boat to the big ship.

After everything was ready, the fishing boats on the shore were almost gone, and the Harvest started moving. Ye Yaodong and A Guang stood on the deck, enjoying the breeze and chatting.

Ye Yaodong actually felt that A Guang was too troublesome and even went to the provincial capital to inquire. It was so troublesome. In this era of inconvenient transportation, let alone going to the provincial capital, everyone felt that going to the county town was too far away.

If they are interested in each other, they can just confirm the relationship and ask the person to explain their family background and write an application report. All the ancestors of soldiers have to be examined, so what he is doing is completely unnecessary.

"Did Captain Chen say when the lighthouse will be completed?"

"I don't know. I wasn't at home at the time. My father just heard what Aunt Ma said and felt that there was a chance, and Yingqiu would be satisfied, so he wanted to find out about the family situation before making a decision, in order to avoid finding out that the family situation was complicated after marriage."

"It doesn't matter. He's a soldier anyway and not at home. No matter how complicated the situation at home is, he doesn't have to go back to face it."

"Then you still have to go and take a look, otherwise you won't know where home is."

"Aren't you afraid that you'll make a trip and then when you come back, they won't have the same idea and will just reject you, and you'll have made a wasted trip?"

"Aunt Ma said there's a chance, and my dad thinks it's okay, so he wants me to go and take a look. If I get rejected outright, then forget it. I can just give up and find another one nearby. Otherwise, my dad is always wavering, and my sister can't afford to delay."

Since he wanted to be nice, he wouldn't say anything.

He thought that maybe he had eaten too much these days, had made some money recently, and had too much free time, so he decided to make this trip anyway.

So people still can’t eat too much.

He just followed along and asked about the things he was concerned about.

"I heard that your relative who showed up at the dock earlier is asking you to go back to worship your ancestors. When?"

"Two months later, I went with you this time because I wanted to ask you about it. It's better to talk to you in person. It's hard to explain over the phone."

"Oh, then if you have anything else to ask, I'll go find out on my own and we'll meet at the dock."

"We'll see when the time comes. We'll tell you when we get ashore."

Ah Guang nodded, "Then go back to the cabin and lie down for a while. My father is the driver and his bed is empty for you to lie down. We won't dock until noon, so we still have a lot of time."

"it is good."

The other boatmen had already returned to the cabin to lie down after finishing their work, and the two of them went in as well. It was a long night and it was still early.

Ye Yaodong doesn’t have so many problems. He doesn’t care about other people’s messy beds. As long as a man has a place to lie down on the sea, it’s enough.

The noise of the machines continued and the fishing boat was shaking. Others got up to work, but he kept lying there, half asleep and half awake. He only got up to eat when he was fully awake. After eating, others went back to work, but he lay back down again.

It was not until they were almost at the provincial capital's dock that A Guang came running to call him and he hurriedly followed.

The other boatmen were still lying there. They had just been sailing along the way and had not stopped to fish.

After they got off the boat and reached the dock, the Harvest left immediately.

Ye Yaodong stretched his body and twisted his neck. "We asked the Harvest to deliver it directly. It consumed a lot of fuel along the way. In the past, we could set the nets almost at daybreak, but now it takes until noon. By the time we go out again, it will probably be mid-afternoon before we can set the nets. We have wasted several nets."

"I can't help it. It's inconvenient to take a bus. It will probably take a whole day to transfer back and forth. It's too far."

"It's really too far, the car ride is too much of a hassle, and the traffic is too bad."

Ah Guang shrugged, and the two of them walked to the dock together while talking.

The dock in the provincial capital was bustling with people even at noon, with ships docking intermittently throughout the day, people coming and going on the shore, and the sounds of hawking could be heard constantly.

Ye Yaodong looked around and met the eyes of Ye Yaohai, who was sitting there eating melon seeds. The other person looked at him in surprise, then immediately stood up and walked towards him.

"Comrade Ye Yaodong!"

"Big Brother, are you here to enjoy the cool breeze?"

"Hey, I'm just sitting around doing nothing. What kind of goods do you have today? It's just the right time to help me out. I haven't opened the store for a long time since you were away. How come you haven't docked in the provincial capital for so long?"

"I've been in Zhejiang Province for the past month. I ran into a typhoon right after I came back, and I haven't been out to sea since then. I came here with my brother-in-law today, so I thought I'd catch you a chat."

"Okay then, let's talk while we walk, and I'll tell you about the ancestral hall." Ye Yaohai hooked his shoulder and pulled him directly to his little hut.

Ye Yaodong stopped there and said, "Wait, I still have to accompany my brother-in-law to do something."

"What can I do for you? Do you need help? I have a few brothers who can help you."

"I'm going to inquire about someone." Ye Yaodong looked at A Guang.

A Guang told him about the town and village he was going to, and said he wanted to inquire about someone.

"Isn't this just a town near our hometown? I don't know about the village, but I know about the town. If you want to go there, you can't make a round trip by bus now. There are only buses that go to the town, not the village."

"I think it should be OK for me to take a tractor? Please ask a tractor to take me there, wait there, and then take me back when the time comes."

Ye Yaohai pondered for a moment and said, "If you believe me, I will ask a brother to drive a tractor to take you there, and then bring you back."

A Guang glanced at Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong was also hesitant, "Can you see for yourself?"

Ah Guang looked at Ye Yaohai and said with a smile: "You are Dongzi's brother from the same clan. Dongzi also said before that he had received goods from you many times and helped a lot, saving me a lot of trouble. Since you can help me and save me some trouble, I will leave it to you."

"Okay, there's no work to do anyway, and a few brothers are idle anyway. We're all friends, so I'll let one of them go with you. We're familiar with that section of the road, and you don't have to call a tractor randomly, and then you have to ask along the way, which wastes time."

A Guang thought it made sense. If someone knew the way, there would be no need to grope around and waste time.

"Then please."

"Let's go back inside. Then let Dongzi stay and talk. I'll let a brother go with you and show you the way."

Ye Yaodong was led forward by him, and just smiled when he heard him calling him Dongzi so fluently.

He also sat at the door of the small purchasing point and watched Ye Yaohai call someone over to give instructions, and then a tractor drove over after a while.

"Then Dongzi, you stay here and talk to Big Brother. Since I already have someone here who can lead the way, I'll go by myself."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Then be careful and come back early."

Ye Yaohai also instructed the brothers who were leading the way to take good care of the people, and then they set off immediately.

"Go get some food and wine, we'll sit outside and chat while enjoying the cool breeze, and wait for your brother-in-law to come back."

"Drinking in broad daylight?"

"Why choose day or night for a drink and reminisce about the past? We can do it anytime and anywhere if we feel like it."

When the others heard what he said, they immediately ran to prepare, and Ye Yaodong didn't say anything.

Ye Yaohai dug into his pocket and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for him, "Eat some first."

"Brother, you have a pretty leisurely life these days. Others are sweating under the sun, but you are sitting at the door leisurely eating melon seeds."

"I can't help it. Business is bad. I can only open it occasionally. I rely on boats from outsiders like you."

"What did you do originally?"

"I originally? I originally made it very complicated."

"smuggling?"

Ye Yaohai glared at him, "Nonsense, how can you be so direct? You just spoke without thinking, and you scared me."

"Ah, I also thought that everyone was not an outsider, so I asked directly. Isn't it very common to do this now? There are smugglers everywhere, and they are all openly selling their goods."

Ye Yaodong laughed. It wasn't him who was smuggling anyway, so why couldn't he just ask directly?

"That's not it, don't guess."

"Hey, if you do this, I can ask you about the next thing."

"what?"

"A filling machine that can fill liquid into a plastic bag and then automatically seal it so that it doesn't leak out. I don't know if there is a fully automatic one, or a semi-automatic one. I heard it's imported, brought in from abroad, and not produced in China. Do you know this thing?"

"Made abroad? Which country?"

"I don't know which country it is. I've never seen it. I just heard about it from others."

"I'll ask you later."

"Brother, do you really have a way?"

Ye Yaohai turned his head to look at him, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not doing that. I'll ask the overseas Chinese back home later to see if they know which country they are from."

Ye Yaodong was surprised. "They are all from the same clan and family? They haven't left yet?"

"Yes, they came back to donate money to repair the ancestral hall, the Mazu temple, and the roads. They also built factories for their hometown villages. They performed operas for seven days. Those days were so lively. Now local governments are trying to keep them. They have arrived in the province now, and they will probably leave soon. I'll ask for you in the next two days."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"It's really amazing! These overseas Chinese are really rich and they come back to build their hometown."

"It was hard before. We lived in a land of mountains and rivers and had no land. We couldn't find a way out, so we had to go abroad."

"You're denied a visa in the morning, you worship Mazu at noon, and you board the ship in the evening, right? Hahahaha..."

Ye Yaodong was just joking originally, but this joke became popular on the Internet decades later, that Fujianese people are visa-free all over the world.

But when he said that and laughed, Ye Yaohai's surprised expression suddenly turned into a blank expression, and he suddenly understood something.

Damn it?

Damn it?

The truth?
Snakehead?

He just said it casually, and he guessed it was right?
Ye Yaohai saw Ye Yaodong's shocked expression and knew that he seemed to have been exposed. He smiled awkwardly, "Haha, why are you so surprised? We are all from the same clan, so it's okay to ask."

"Brother, you are awesome!"

　I'll post one first, and I'll finish the rest when I get home tomorrow. I can't write at night.
