Back to the small fishing village in 1982

When they drove the boat close to the shore, they saw a large area of ​​boats parked around the pier on the shore, neatly arranged, and they didn't know when they docked.

Ye Yaodong said in surprise: "It's true that all the young and middle-aged people in the village are called back to fight? They are so united!"

"Yes, there are fewer women on the shore. Yesterday the beach was densely packed with jellyfish, but today they are all gone. So many boats have returned early."

"Let's disembark and carry all the goods back first."

In addition to jellyfish heads and skins, there are only a few barrels of jellyfish blood and brains, and it is quick to carry them back and forth a few times.

As soon as Ye Yaodong saw Father Ye coming over, he asked him, "Have my eldest brother and second brother come? Did you call?"

"I was just about to tell you that your mother called at 8 o'clock in the morning and said that they set off at two or three o'clock at night, and they didn't know how to get there. They just landed in the town and just called to say that they don't know where the village is. , I just came out of the village after answering the phone."

"Then I'll pick them up at the pier in town later..."

"I'll just go, you just rest for a while, I've been lying at home for a whole day, my bones are going to rust." Father Ye climbed into the boat as he said that, and he didn't forget to tell him.

"The young and middle-aged people in the village took their guys to the next village one by one in the afternoon, saying that someone in their village was beaten at sea, and was thrown into the sea and stung by jellyfish. The village exploded in the afternoon. One by one, they were all called back, gathered aggressively, and took the guys to the next village."

"Take it easy, don't get close, it's none of our business, we're just passers-by, just take a look."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Their village is really united. The few people who were thrown into the sea and stung by jellyfish are the family we asked for directions yesterday, and I dragged the boat and people back for them."

"You go and pick up the elder brother and the others. I'll just listen to the excitement. Whoever is too full will join in, and there is still a lot of work waiting to be done."

Although Father Ye was a little surprised that they rescued him, he didn't say anything, but told them not to come up to him, and just stay at the educated youth spot and wait for them to come back.

Ye Yaodong and the others packed up all the things on the boat, waited for the tractor to come and weighed all the goods, and then took the tractor back to the educated youth spot to weigh jellyfish blood and jellyfish brain.

Unexpectedly, the jellyfish blood that was dried yesterday was only 6 catties and 7 taels. Normally, a jellyfish weighing about 3000 catties should have [-] catties of jellyfish blood.

The moment Ye Yaodong finished weighing, he was a little dazed and couldn't believe it.

The eldest cousin was also surprised and said bluntly: "Isn't this about 300 catties for a catty? Why is it only less than seven catties?"

"What? Do you suspect that there is a problem?" The person who received the goods said dissatisfied.

Ye Yaodong quickly smiled and said, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised. We sold it yesterday and calculated the weight, and I feel that the discrepancy is a bit big."

He pulled out two more cigarettes for them, and asked, "Brother, do you know how much a catty is? Is this a big fluctuation?"

People watched him go on the road, and said without hesitation: "Of course the jellyfish blood produced by the size is different. The big ones are the jellyfish head at the bottom and the jellyfish skin at the umbrella end, although the area on the umbrella is also large. It’s bigger, but the area is a little bigger, how much can it be scraped? This doesn’t account for the weight in the first place.”

"A jellyfish that weighs more than a hundred catties is ten times heavier than a jellyfish that weighs more than ten catties, but can you scrape off ten times more jellyfish blood? Can't you? There's no definite number."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "It makes sense."

"Besides, when you collect it from the sea, there is no way to weigh it. If you estimate it yourself, there may be discrepancies, and it will shrink when you process it."

"correct."

"Okay, let's go first, in a hurry."

Ye Yaodong made an appointment with them to come over to pick up the goods tomorrow, and smoked a cigarette on the way, before politely sending them away.

He looked at the empty cigarette case, and muttered twice, "Have I smoked a few cigarettes myself? You can't buy too bad ones if you just pull them out for others. Sellin's is cool. Buying two packs a day may not be enough." use."

"Hehe, you are too good at being a man. I think the people in the village didn't pull out the cigarettes for them when they sold them."

"Hey, isn't this a newcomer? You have to be polite. It's easy to ask questions after pulling out two cigarettes."

Ye Yaodong tossed the empty cigarette pack to the side, took out another pack from his pocket and put one in his mouth, but he didn't light it, and handed it to three cousins, asking if they wanted it?
The three of them waved their hands again and again, saying that they had brought hookah or shredded tobacco, and they could just tear up a small piece of newspaper and roll it up to smoke.

How dare they smoke him.

Ye Yaodong didn't force it, he closed the box and put it in his pocket again.

He looked into the distance and was calculating an account in his mind. The batch of jellyfish sold for 77 yuan and 4 cents yesterday, and today's jellyfish blood sold for 4 yuan. , but the sum is equal to the 73 yuan that was sold when I came here yesterday afternoon.

It’s pretty good. After deducting labor and diesel costs, as well as food and drink, you can earn about 200 yuan. Like today, you can earn more than [-] yuan if you come twice a day. Even if the price drops every day, you can’t earn less few.

The more Ye Yaodong counted, the more satisfied he was. He could earn 3000 yuan after working for half a month, and if he gave his father a few hundred yuan, he would still have a lot left over.

It’s not like other families in this village, one big family and one boat, so many people share the money, then everyone won’t get so much.

With his hands in his pockets, he looked up at the sunset in the distance, with a cigarette in his mouth, shaking back and forth, looking handsome and handsome.

As soon as the three of them came over, the men and women couldn't help staring at him, especially the two women couldn't help but look at him more.

Ye Yaodong felt as if someone was staring at him, turned his head and looked over, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, this action had a bit of a handsome feeling, a girl in the room blushed immediately.

The three smiled and walked towards him, just glanced between him and the brothers next to him, and then chose to walk towards the eldest cousin.

They all looked a little confused.

The leading woman spoke the local dialect, and stuffed the basket in her big cousin's arms.

The eldest cousin looked at the basket of eggs and was stunned.

It was still the fourth child of the Lu family who was about the same age as Ye Yaodong, but who looked older than him, explained it in Mandarin for everyone, and they suddenly realized that it was the old lady of the Lu family who came to thank her with her surviving son and daughter.

Ye Yaodong and the others were a little bit dumbfounded.

The eldest cousin was also a little embarrassed, smiled at them embarrassedly, pointed at Ye Yaodong, and handed them back the basket of eggs in his hand.

Only now did the three of the Lu family know that Ye Yaodong, who seemed to be the youngest, was in charge, and they were all a little surprised.

Ye Yaodong also looked at them amusedly, because his eldest cousin was old and thought he was their leader.

The three of them walked towards him again, and the fourth child of the Lu family put a bag of rice on his shoulders to him at his feet, and the girl also handed him a basket of vegetables.

"I'm sorry, I got the wrong person. We don't have any good things in the countryside. You are also fishing for fish and shrimp. There must be no shortage. My mother will send you some rice, vegetables and eggs."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand and didn't answer, "Thank you, thank you, you are too polite, I'm just passing by, anyone who sees this will help bring them back."

"Should be..."

The old lady of the Lu family and the fourth child of the Lu family mixed some words of thanks in a mixture of barbarian and Mandarin, and he had to accept them.

You came and I went back and forth, and then he accepted it. It happened to be what they were missing, and it was very thoughtful. Ye Yaodong was also very happy.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you, how are Uncle Lu and Lu Hongwei doing? Are you okay?"

"I went to hang the bottle in the afternoon. I just came back from hanging the water. It should be fine."

"Then you snatched the machine back? I don't think the young and middle-aged people in the village have come back yet?"

The fourth son of the Lu family stared angrily, "I haven't come back yet. I stayed at home and took my dad and my brothers to hang water. The other brothers have passed by, and I don't know what's going on. Now I'm going to go to the next village to have a look."

"Then go and have a look."

They said a few words politely before leaving in a hurry.

Ye Yaodong looked at the big bag of rice, eggs and vegetables at his feet, and said to them with a smile, "There's more rice in the pot, so I don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the next few days."

"Did you feel that the little girl was staring at you just now?" The second cousin teased with a smile.

"Just look at it, who made me grow well. After the jellyfish blood is cooked, I will cook the rice first. I will wash the rice. I will cook more today. After a while, my elder brother and second brother will come. How many people."

A few big men started washing rice and picking vegetables to prepare dinner. After a day of exhaustion and sweat, they still needed to cook. Luckily, Father Ye had picked up all the water and a lot of firewood today. Otherwise they would be more busy.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but wondered whether his elder brother and second brother brought his two sisters-in-law over to work, these big men are really not good for cooking.

Taking advantage of the time when the rice was cooking, he left the rest of the work to his three cousins, so he went to the village to buy a box of mosquito coils.

Weeds are overgrown around the educated youth spot, and I didn't know how many mosquitoes there were when I slept last night, and I almost sucked them dry.

It was too late yesterday, and it was already eight or nine o'clock after packing and eating, and the village was dark, so he didn't go shopping around, and went to sea early in the morning, so he could have some free time at this time .

This small fishing village is not much different from their village environment. There are dirt roads everywhere, and occasionally there are a few stone paths. Weeds are overgrown in the gaps, but they have been trampled on, making it a mess. Some of the weeds on both sides of the path They are all taller than people.

The surrounding houses are all brick and earth embryo houses, unlike their stone houses, and some small houses don't even have roofs. I don't know if the roofs were blown off by this typhoon.

It's time for dinner, and the roofs of every household are filled with smoke, and the aroma of rice and the delicious smell of fish, shrimp and crab can be smelled everywhere.

Ye Yaodong was walking on the path, looking left and right, there was a swarm of small mosquitoes above his head, whirling and dancing there, following wherever he went.

While walking, he waved his arms to drive away the mosquitoes on the top of his head, but the effect was not great, and sometimes there were mosquitoes in front of his face, and a bunch of them rushed towards him when he walked over, making his facial features wrinkled, his eyes squinted, and his mouth closed. Dare to grow, for fear of flying in.

Fortunately, he is not toothy, and his mouth can be closed.

This is what disgusts Xia Tian. There are too many mosquitoes and they are very poisonous. Before he has walked a few steps, his neck is already itchy.

Just as he was about to go back after buying mosquito coils, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer.

He walked out of the path curiously, and saw a large group of young and middle-aged men holding poles and sticks with bruised noses and faces, limping and helping each other back. Women in the village heard the sound and came out to help their families back.

Voices, curses, and howls abounded, and the originally quiet fishing village seemed to explode in an instant.

Ye Yaodong stood on the path and watched curiously, not knowing whether they had won or lost, and they didn't come back until so late.

Shouldn't they take advantage of the fact that the other party's people are at sea, directly attack a wave, snatch things and machines, and come back early?

Maybe it took a long time for them to gather their own people?

He stood on the path and watched for a while, until he saw someone pushing a machine with a cart at the end, and there were a bunch of jellyfish scattered on it. Grab it back.

After watching for a while, he went back directly.

The two villages are having conflicts, and it happens to help them attract most of the attention. The eyes of the villagers in the province have been focusing on them, a group of outsiders.

For them, it should be regarded as a good thing. If they keep a low profile, they may be able to stay for a few more days.

I don't know if the people from the next village will come over to find the place again?
From this point of view, it would be good for him if they fight a few more times...

Ah bah... can't think like that...
