Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Along the way, while he was sometimes happy and sometimes frowning, the fishing boat slowly slowed down and approached Baisha Village.

The tide was at full tide at this time, and the tide had just been full when he came back before.

The fishing boat can only dock when the tide is high, and his boat can also lean on the beach as much as possible. If the tide goes out tomorrow, it will be able to run aground for a long time.

Ye Yaodong drove the boat to the beach, and did not stop the boat and drop anchor until it could not move forward.

He was not in a hurry to go straight down. After the boat stopped, he checked back and forth on the boat again, and only after there was nothing wrong did he move the bicycle down.

In order not to get wet, Ah Qing was asked to wash two less clothes, and he even sat on his bicycle when he got off the boat.

However, riding a bicycle on the beach is still a bit strenuous, coupled with the water and the waves hitting behind him from time to time, his hope was immediately dashed, but he didn't get off.

It wasn't until he reached an area without water that he climbed down and pushed towards the door, checking his watch by the way.

It's half past eight...

It's so hard to make money!

Wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs.

In the yard, those women were still killing fish and picking shrimp.

Mother Ye saw that he was back and called him quickly, "What are you going to do with those two sharks?"

"What else can I do? Cut off the fins and make shark fins yourself. You can decide what to do with other shark meat. You can either share it with a few aunts and take it back to cook pickles or make dumplings."

It’s fine to eat it after frying it, but you will definitely be nagged if you say it, but you can keep a part of it for frying at home, and a part for making shark dumplings.

However, the weather is hot now, and there is no refrigerator and you can't make too many dumplings. Otherwise, such a big shark can make a lot of dumplings and eat them slowly.

Shark-filled dumplings are no different from pork-filled dumplings. They are also minced and seasoned with shallots and cooking wine. It is a different flavor.

"You know how to eat. You're tired of eating fried dumplings, right? Now I'm going to eat shark dumplings again." Mother Ye likes to argue as always, and she rarely speaks soft words a few times.

"Buy some flour and roll out the dumpling wrappers. It doesn't cost much. The sharks you bring back by yourself are cheaper than chopping pork stuffing directly."

"It's just a bite, how much can I eat? Look at what you said, my mother, I have 50 years to live in the rest of my life, so I can't eat something good. I can't even bear to eat a bite. It's hard, haha. What are you looking forward to?"

In fact, it is impossible to say that there is still only a good life of 20 years...

Don’t want to eat whatever you want, otherwise the people will be gone and the money will still be there, and then you won’t know who is spending your money?

The aunt laughed and interjected, "This shark dumpling is really delicious, but it takes a lot of effort and you have to roll the dough. But now life is better, and I have to eat something good now and then."

"That's the reason. When you go back later, you can take a little more. Anyway, it's all from your own home, and you can't finish it." Lin Xiuqing also shook the basket by her hand, and said with a smile, "It's not easy to pick these out. Fresh shrimp, you can take some back to feed the chickens and ducks later, we can't use up these two big baskets..."

"Hey, okay..."

Watching Ye Yaodong walk into the house and take off his clothes, Lin Xiuqing also got up and followed behind him.

"Are you going to take a shower? I'll get you clothes."

"it is good."

After working so hard, he is actually quite tired, shirtless, sitting there, not wanting to move, thinking of sitting and resting for a while before fetching water.

Lin Xiuqing took out his clothes and trousers for him, watched him still sitting there, didn't say anything, and continued to pour hot water for him.

She knew he was tired after a day's work.

"Aren't you tired? You don't need to rush like this. When you come back tomorrow, you can turn around to the town and come back with Dad on the same boat."

"We were delayed by something today. Otherwise, we would have come back when the sun went down. If we come back tomorrow, the tide will be almost low and the tide has not yet risen. The boat will not be able to enter the beach by then."

The tide ebbs about 45 minutes later than the day before, and the tide will start to rise at about seven o'clock tomorrow.

The neap tide has just passed, and the tide has been receding and getting lower recently, so we have to drive back when the tide is high before we can run aground.

"Oh." She was carrying hot water and was scooping up cold water to neutralize it. "What are you delaying today? You came back so late, and others arrived home just after sunset."

"When I was about to come back, I encountered a school of Balang fish, so I stopped and cast a few more nets. The two sharks fell into the school of fish and were caught by us."

"No wonder the shark's body is full of bumps and bumps. My mother also said that it must have been bitten by a balang fish."

Lin Xiuqing brought water to him while talking, "Wash, finish washing early, go to bed early, and go to sea at night."

"Ah."

"Then your boat will come back at night. I don't have time to do it tomorrow. Should we hire someone?"

She was not in the house before, and did not hear what he said to his father.

Ye Yaodong twisted a towel, washed his face first, and said: "At first, I was planning to drive back, and tomorrow I will ask someone to shovel the barnacles under the boat, bask in the sun, brush the paint, and get it done in advance, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late." There will be no time when the flood season comes in a few days.”

"I also think about the new atmosphere of the new ship. The thick barnacle juveniles are pulled on the bottom, and the fuel consumption is very bad."

"Besides, we only applied one coat of paint in a hurry a few days ago. After soaking for a few days, the paint around the waterline was a bit blurred. The marks are all exposed."

The latter sentence, he lowered his voice and said.

However, the group of women at the door was chattering like thousands of ducks, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about in the room.

"However, I just chatted with my father during dinner, and my father is not worried about asking others to do it. He plans to find time to do it by himself. I think I will have to take a full day off the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing also agreed, "It's really better to handle this boat by ourselves, and you can rest assured if you paint it well, otherwise, when the flood season comes, you will have to go outside for so many days, so don't let the paint fall off badly. , exposed."

"That's all."

"Then if the folks see it and ask about it tomorrow morning, I will tell you that when you and your father docked in the evening, you went to drive the boat back by the way. It's just that there are no good days, so you didn't say hello to your relatives and friends."

"Ah."

"It can be a little more reassuring under the nose."

"One day off the day after tomorrow, first get the boat up and shovel the bottom of the boat to dry, and then come back every night and take the time to paint a coat, dry it in the daytime, and paint two more coats."

"Just make up your own mind."

Ye Yaodong had already thought about it.

This can't be done by other people, you can only do it yourself, there is no other way, you can only squeeze the time to catch up, it just happens that the weather is pretty good these days, and it will be fine if you and his father are tired for two or three days.

Anyway, it's not bad to be able to rest the day after tomorrow.

At night, the father and son went fishing as usual.

After arriving near the oarfish island, they took a scoop of water and found that there was still no sparkle in the sea, so they directly lowered the nets. They planned to store the shrimp pots until they were ready to return in the afternoon before collecting them.

Who knows if it will get stuck again?

It was now so dark in the middle of the night that it was impossible for him to get into the water even if he was hanging up.

It's better to wait for dawn and then go into the water when it's time to return. It's more efficient.

The father and son were busy, collecting one net after another. When the father and son were about to hit the third net, they really saw the three boats coming from the border defense team.

However, they kept in mind not to get close. They were far away from the island and were working in the middle of the sea. The three fishing boats did not approach them, and they still went straight to the island.

Everyone does not interfere with the water in the well, and they are very harmonious throughout the day.

Until the evening, when the sun was about to set, Ye Yaodong found that the three fishing boats left work earlier today than yesterday.

It would be easier for him to leave as soon as they got off work. After collecting the last net of homework, he drove directly to the reef without any worries, and complained to his father by the way.

"It is estimated that there is no harvest, so I quit work and left early today."

"It's possible, maybe I won't come tomorrow. I've been searching for several days. With so many people, I can turn over the mountain no matter what."

"Who knows? We won't come tomorrow either, just take a day off."

"It's better to leave early. You can go into the water early and take a look to see if there are any goods. If you have any, catch a few more. I will collect the shrimp pots on the sea."

"Ah."

After the father and son discussed it, they will divide the work and cooperate as soon as they arrive at the place.

After they collected the shrimp pots yesterday, they still put them down on the same spot. Maybe when they got down to the bottom of the sea, they shifted a bit with the sea water.

Also, the buoy may have drifted a bit as the waves washed in overnight.

After Ye Yaodong went down into the water, he searched for a few minutes but couldn't find where the crevice in the hidden reef was located yesterday.

The reefs on the seabed all look the same, standing there in patches. Yesterday, because of the dark light, I couldn’t really see the bottom clearly. I really couldn’t tell where they were?

Now he was very depressed, and he took it for granted, thinking that he could still find it when he came down to the same place.

But it was still early, and he patiently searched around the reef, but although he didn't find Ruansi, luckily he caught two little green dragons.

Just as he was about to shift his position, swim forward, and look for it again, he saw many small fish surrounded by seaweed in the front left.

Moreover, the seaweed around the small fish is also shaking violently, not at all like the seaweed swaying with the waves next to it, it feels tricky to look at.

He turned curiously and swam from the seaweed bushes in front left.

At the moment the sun is still setting, the sky is still bright, the sun is shining today, and the underwater world can be seen quite clearly, unlike yesterday when I came down late and was foggy.

However, before he got close, he discovered the clue.

A grouper with round spots flashed out of the grass, and within a second, another grouper appeared in the grass, wagging its tail and attacking with its mouth wide open!

Two groupers!
Whoops, I'm going, two groupers are fighting over territory!

Surrounded by a group of younger brothers!
