Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Along the way, the waves were surging, the fishing boat was ups and downs, the boat was a little unstable, shaking violently, not as stable as when it came.

When the waves are high, they can still hit the deck, which is a bit thrilling. They need to hold on to the support, otherwise they will not be able to stand.

They didn't have time to look and pay attention to those goods, and the excitement was almost over. Now everyone is paying attention to how high the waves are churning on the sea, and pray that the next waves will not be bigger, otherwise they can only Find a place to stop on the way.

The waves are relentless and safety comes first.

Fortunately, although the waves were a little bit bigger, after driving out of that area, after two or three hours of sailing, the waves were a little smaller, but not so smooth.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, but don't expect anything to happen when they are about to get home.

"The sea is full of wind and waves. The waves hit me just now and splashed all over me. I was so shocked that I thought I was going to fall into the water."

"Me too. It hurts to hold the edge. Fortunately, that wave has passed."

Ye Yaodong also heaved a sigh of relief, then went to pick up the basket in the cabin, and took out the dry food inside, "Eat some pancakes to calm your nerves and fill your stomach. It's already three o'clock, and it will be here in another three or four hours. Today The return journey is more time-consuming than the arrival time, and it is estimated that it will take fourteen to five hours to arrive."

Each of them took a salty light cake and gnawed it.

"It doesn't matter if it takes longer, as long as you can get home safely."

"The risk at sea is too great, and it is better to go back as soon as possible."

Ye Yaodong also took a bite, it was dry, he went to get a small knife, cut the light cake in cross-section, put in the oil cake that he bought in the morning, and ate it, only then did he feel that it was much more delicious.

He chewed and said, "So, the next generation should not let them be sea people. If they can read, they should study hard. Reading is the easiest way out for us poor country people."

"Who doesn't want to have a number one scholar in their family, that's what they have to do. Few of the [-] generations of ancestors can read."

"Everyone knows that reading is good. A few years ago, if you can read and write, you can become an official. It's just that the children in the family get headaches when they read books. It's not that material."

"Anyway, I won't die of hunger, as long as I can have a bite to eat."

"That's right, then you earn more money, and it's the same if I have money and can protect me."

"I gave birth to a son to provide for the elderly, why should I work hard to support him?"

It's hard to say...

Ye Yaodong ate two mouthfuls of cake silently. Fortunately, his son will be self-reliant in the future, marry a wife to support the family, and don't need to rely on Lao Tzu.

When Lao Tzu's performance is bad, it seems to be somewhat useful...

He shook his head. He still had to work harder, just to make up for the regrets of his previous life and create better living conditions for his family.

Looking around, the sea water changes from clear to green, from green to blue, from blue to azure, and you can't see the edge at a glance, and the waves brought by the boat are rolling gently.

Everyone originally thought that they should be able to get home safely next time, but who would have imagined that they were happy for a while after returning to the familiar sea area, but they found that Brother Ye's boat had fallen behind.

The boat kept sailing behind, and they only occasionally turned their heads to see if the boats were catching up. After all, the smuggled boat just fell behind suddenly and was not found.

Unexpectedly, it was their turn to fall behind. Father Pei's boat accelerated and rushed to the front of their boat. He told Father Ye and the others that they found out, and they were all shocked.

Father Ye also thumped hard in his heart, and quickly stopped the boat, "Why didn't you keep up?"

Father Pei also said anxiously: "Maybe something happened, we just found out that they didn't follow, let's go back and look for it."

It's no wonder Father Ye didn't notice, he was the lead ship, and his attention was always on the front.

The others also thought they were coming home soon, and they were so happy that they relaxed their tense nerves, so they didn't pay any more attention.

Now everyone is lying on the side of the boat, looking behind, only to see a small black spot motionless in the distance.

"It should be there! Fortunately, it's not dark yet, so we can still see it."

"Okay, why is it not moving there? Is there something wrong with the machine?"

"Maybe the machine really stopped moving."

"Could it be that the waves were too big before? The sea water came up, and the machine kept running non-stop, causing a malfunction?"

"It's hard to say, the machines on this boat are very easy to break. That boat was left by my grandfather before. It was confiscated when the production team was established, and it was almost scrapped when it was disbanded and returned. Later, it was repaired by my father bit by bit. There are probably a lot of problems."

……

Father Ye and Father Pei turned around at the same time and headed for the little black spot in the distance.

Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua and a few people on the boat were like ants on a hot pot. They were in a hurry. It was almost at the door of the house, but the machine suddenly stopped moving, and the boat could only drift with the current and float on the sea.

The boat in front hadn't been spotted yet, and they immediately called out that every day should not be done, that the ground was dead, the sky was dark, and it was difficult to meet a boat on the sea, and most fishing boats would dock at this point.

Just when they were helpless, the two boats in front turned around, and they almost cried with joy.

After the two boats got closer and closer, they were relieved to see that the people on board were standing there intact.

When the boat got close to stopping, Father Ye yelled, "What's the matter with you? Wouldn't you have yelled loudly or waved the flag earlier when the boat broke down? If my in-laws hadn't caught up and told me, I didn't even pay attention to the back."

Ye Yaodong changed the subject and said, "Why did it break when it was good? Did the waves hit the water earlier?"

"We think so too, but when we have to land on shore, please ask the master to take a look. We don't understand the work of repairing machines."

"It's approaching the door of the house, and all the moths are out. Hurry up and take out the rope in the cabin to tie up the boat. Fortunately, it hasn't entered the water and can be dragged back." Father Ye was taken aback for no reason, and his tone was firm rushed.

By the time they tied the two brothers' boats behind the two boats, it was already dark, and each of them either put on a headlamp or turned on a flashlight for lighting.

Fortunately, I was almost home, so I slowed down a little bit, and there were no boats on the surrounding sea at this time.

They drove forward slowly. Originally, it only took two hours, but they drove for another three hours abruptly.

There were a lot more things to do on the return trip than when we went there, but fortunately, it was safe and sound.

They docked at the pier in the town first, letting Chen Jianian go ashore first, and then continued to drive forward. After driving for almost half an hour, they arrived at the pier in the village.

What they didn't expect was that they thought there should be no one on the shore. After all, it was already almost 9 o'clock, but they found seven or eight young and middle-aged men waiting on the shore, and everyone was stimulated by the flashlight shining on them. They all squinted their eyes.

The people on the shore were also taken aback by them. They didn't expect that there was still a boat docking at such a late hour?
When the boat arrived at the shore, both sides also saw clearly who the other party was?They all breathed a sigh of relief and asked questions at the same time.

"just came back?"

"Are you still here?"

"Yeah, I just got home, and I was exhausted all the way."

"Well, it shouldn't be easy to go out, right?"

Ye Yaodong got off the boat first, nodded, "It's not that easy to make money."

As he said that, he planned to start distributing cigarettes again, but he didn't have enough cigarettes in his hand, because he was about to return home, so he didn't prepare a few more packs, and one pack of cigarettes was almost exhausted after a whole day of smoking.

Lin Ji waved his hand, "I have."

"I haven't seen it for a while, I thought..."

"The wind was tight some time ago." He just said something casually and then changed the subject, "Is there a lot of things on the boat, do you want to help you move it?"

"There's no need to move, I've hired several long-term workers."

The people on the boat also moved their things down one after another at this time, and Lin Jishang was surprised when he saw the things on it, "You plan to do this?"

"No, I'm an honest person. These were fished from the sea, and many of them have entered the water. I don't know if they are useful. Take them back and check them first."

"Is this a ship in distress?"

His heart skipped a beat. Come back at this point, isn't it their boat?
He hurriedly asked again: "Where did you salvage this?"

"It's at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, just entering the sea area of ​​Fujian Province."

He breathed a sigh of relief, "It looks like it should be very bustling over there."

"It's quite lively. It's not inferior to our town, and it may even be more rampant. I saw forty or fifty boats sailing together with my own eyes."

Lin Jishang opened his mouth in surprise, but said nothing.

"Okay, I've been tired all day, so I'll go back first, drink together when I have time, and I'll bring you a few special products, and I'll bring them to your house tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"It seems that there are quite a lot of things unloaded on your ship. I have a few carts here. You can push two of them first."

Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at the baskets, bamboo flats, sacks and miscellaneous sundries that were already piled up on the floor. They were still moving from the boat one after another. It seemed that there were quite a lot, so he stopped being polite to him.

"Okay, then I will lend you a scooter, and I will roll it out for you later."

"I'll have someone push it back for you, and it will be fine when the time comes."

"also."

The chat between the two of them was quite subtle, and they didn't say anything very clear. The others were carrying the goods on the ship back and forth, so they didn't have time to pay attention to what they said.

It would be easier to have a cart to help push it back, and Father Ye and the others politely thanked them.

After walking away, they didn't talk about it. After all, it was the people in Linji who helped push the cart.

The road was pitch black, and there was no light at the door of the house, so they were probably asleep.

Before they came back, they didn't call to say they were coming back today, Ye Yaodong planned to surprise his family, saving them from waiting from morning to night.

It's just that he didn't expect that there was really someone in the family who was so late and was still sitting at the door waiting.

Before they got close to the door, the lights in the house suddenly turned on, and then the lights in the two neighboring houses also turned on. After a while, all three families rushed out at the same time.
