Back to the small fishing village in 1982

It is true that there is no danger when there are whales!

It's summed up very well, nothing wrong with it.

Ye Yaodong thought in his heart, with a smile on his face, "Good luck, probably the wind and waves will be strong today."

The old master also agreed, "Yes, the wind and waves were quite strong today, and the waves kept coming, and everyone was drowned now. We didn't see any sign of a boat all the way out, so we didn't go too far, and this road The boat's wind and wave resistance rating will also be higher, and today's water test went smoothly without any problems."

"We signed the contract quickly and I handed over the money. We have to hurry up and go back to avoid catching a cold during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, okay, okay, go in first, sign the order contract, pay the money, and our order is complete."

Director Wu immediately took him in and said as he walked: "It's not bad to encounter whales. Last time the trawler was launched into the water, I heard that on the way back, we encountered a group of large sharks that followed the fishing boat for a few minutes. Fortunately, we didn’t attack and collide directly, and disappeared after following for a few minutes.”

"That's it, that's quite magical."

He was more advanced before, and the basking shark followed him.

"Yeah, anything can happen. Some people even picked up a stingray that they bumped into on their way back."

Ye Yaodong nodded casually.

The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and the ocean is so big and boundless, it just depends on whether you have heard of it or not.

Everyone else was waiting on the boat, so there was no need to come down. He could just go in and sign, pay the balance, and then leave.

His money was still put in a cloth bag and carried close to his body.

When the net was being set up, he happened to be standing at both ends, and the waves rolled up. When the water sprayed down, he was not completely wet, but his hair was a little wet. He could just wipe the water stains on his cotton-padded jacket with a cloth, but he was not wet at all. Once inside, it's much better than others.

He took out the money from the cloth bag, and it was still warm with his body temperature.

"You hid it quite well." Director Wu smiled and watched him lift up his clothes and take out money one by one.

"It's safer this way. It can easily fall out if you move it around in your pocket. Please count the amount. Here is eight thousand yuan."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong also waited patiently for him to count. After the amount was all right, he stood up.

"I will let you know when the trawler is built."

"Ok."

"Go slowly, I won't send you out."

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the boat and ask them to carry a basket of small tubes down. It's a big thank you to Director Wu and the workers in your factory. The two masters followed us all the way. It's also a big trouble for them. You can handle it as soon as possible. I have to ask you to arrange the fishing boats as soon as possible."

The smile on Director Wu's face deepened, "Okay, okay, then I'm welcome. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. You're welcome. It's my turn to thank you."

Originally, he had already taken advantage of the seven boats, so sending a basket of small tubes was nothing. It just calmed people's frustrations, and he also thanked them by the way.

When Ye Yaodong went out, he asked them on the boat to carry a basket down, and he took it from the bottom.

Director Wu also asked someone to bring a basket over to unload the goods.

"Everyone is enjoying the meal in the evening. Each of us can share some and take it home for extra meals. This small tube is much more delicious than other squid."

The old master next to him also reached out and took one casually and put it in his mouth to taste, "It's still freshly caught. I saw you eating it in the cab and I think it will be delicious."

"Haha, it's my little thought that everyone should share a little bit."

After they finished emptying, Ye Yaodong threw the empty basket into the boat.

"Are you okay? Is everything okay?"

"Okay, let's go back. It's half past two."

"It's a good time to go back now. I'll go sail the boat."

"I'll go, I'll go..." Ye Yaodong rushed to do it.

Father Ye also followed behind him, heading to the cockpit together worriedly.

Ye Yaodong checked the compass direction and drove all the way to the village. Ye's father was also watching from the side. After the driving direction was correct, he didn't say anything and just watched.

Ye Mu and Ye Yaopeng from the village had already taken firecrackers and waited outside the pier at three o'clock, fearing that no one would be there when they came back.

It's already early four o'clock now, and the sun has long been hidden behind the thick clouds, making it invisible.

There is a huge difference in temperature when there is sun than when there is no sun. There is no shelter outside the pier. The cold wind blows directly in front of them. Both mother and son huddled up in the cold, and their hair was blown out, exposing both of their heads.

Mother Ye was also muttering in her mouth, "It's already past four o'clock, why haven't you come back yet? I don't know if you are optimistic about the time, but don't miss it?"

"Probably not. Dad and Ah Hua are both here. There are so many people. How come we missed the time? It should be soon."

"Wait and see..."

"The waves are quite big today..."

Wave after wave of waves hit the rocks on the shore, and then expanded into the distance layer by layer, and slowly subsided, leaving behind a fleeting foam.

At this moment, a large blue and white ship with red flags flying around the mountains in the distance appeared in their sight.

"Oh, I'm back, I'm back, I'm finally back..." Mother Ye shouted excitedly, and she immediately took a few steps forward and walked to the shore to watch.

Ye Yaopeng looked at his watch, it was exactly four-thirty, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting all day, and I'm finally back."

"Where are the firecrackers? Prepare the firecrackers and put them on the ground."

"I know, it will take a few minutes if you drive closer."

Fortunately, the wind and waves have been strong these past few days, and no fishing boats have gone out to sea. It is quiet outside the pier today. Only the mother and son are standing on the shore, which is a little deserted.

However, there were quite a few people who came to the shore to watch the boat afterwards.

The fishing boat in the distance gradually approached, until it stopped with the Harvest, and the firecrackers on the shore also crackled.

After setting off the firecrackers, Ye Yaopeng also carried the two fireworks he had prepared a long time ago onto his boat and headed towards the Dongsheng.

Ye Yaodong and the others had been waiting on the boat for a long time. After taking over the fireworks, they also set off two on the boat.

"Hey? Dongzi, haven't you sold your goods? Then should you ask Ah Cai to come and collect it? What did you get on the first net to test the waters?"

"I was lucky. I got a small tube weighing three to four thousand kilograms. I thought the temperature was not high today, so I didn't sell it immediately to the shore and brought it back directly."

"Then I'll call Ah Cai over later..."

"No, just take it back to dry. The boys in the workshop are very free these days. Find something for them to do."

Ye's father was surprised. He didn't even know that Dongzi had the idea to expose it himself.

"Ah? Are you going to dry them all? You can easily make hundreds or thousands of dollars by selling these. Wouldn't it be easier? It will take several days to dry them, and it will take time to sell them. Just sell them freshly. Just forget it?"

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to get my money back. I'll dry it and sell it slowly. I can make a little more."

"How much more can I make? It's just a little bit big and doesn't weigh much when dried. How about selling it as soon as possible and getting the money in your hands?"

"It's okay. After drying it, we will calculate the total weight and how many kilograms there are per kilogram. Then we will set the price and raise the price. No matter what, we will make more money."

Ye Yaodong felt that they were overthinking this. Although these fresh goods weighed three to four thousand catties, after they were dried, they would only weigh about a thousand catties, right?

It may take less than ten days and a half to sell out, and the quantity is not much at all.

If Ah Cai and the others collect it, it will take about a week to pick up the bill and settle the bill, which may not be as fast as him getting it back in the city.

"Forget it, you can make up your own mind. If you think you can sell it, then sell it."

Many times it was proved that what he said was right. Father Ye stopped talking. He just mentioned a few words and ignored them.

"Help carry all these goods to the boat. It just happens that the people and goods will be docked together."

"There are dozens of baskets, it looks like a lot..."

"It's just about time for dinner. Don't rush back later. Go to my house for dinner tonight. Ah Qing must have prepared the food."

"Okay...we have to go home and take a shower first, change some clothes, we're all wet..."

"Then come over for dinner after taking a shower."

I asked someone to help me today. If I go out to sea to test the water, I will definitely have to invite someone to eat. Ah Qing has indeed cooked a big table at home.

The boys in the workshop knew that the big ship was coming back today, so they were not in a hurry to take over and go back. They were all waiting there. When they saw the shadow of the new ship on the sea, they all hurried to the shore.

It happened that after the fishing boat docked, he also helped to pick up the goods and deliver them to the workshop.

Of course, the good words never stopped during this period.

With a few more boys, the crowd seems lively and joyful now that there are so many people.

Seeing that no one was watching, Mother Ye muttered, "It's too cold today, and there aren't many people around. The sun goes down early, and people come back late. At this time, many people have dinner in advance, so they don't have to wait while eating." Gotta light the lamp.”

"Why do we need so many people? How can I treat the whole village to dinner? Just our family will do. Who can't see such a big boat parked at the pier?"

"It just doesn't look that lively, but it's better when the weather is hot..."

Ye Yaodong shook his head and ignored his mother's mutterings. It was probably because there were no villagers watching and no one complimenting him, so he felt something was missing.

"Dongzi, there is a basket of shrimps inside, aren't you selling this one?"

"If we don't sell them, I will take the shrimps back, cook them, dry them, and peel them."

The shrimps are not very valuable. They cost only a dime to sell and only a few cents to buy. It is better to keep them for home use. The total amount of dried shrimps is probably only a few kilograms. There is no need to sell them. Anyway, I will use today’s harvest to dry them. Taste it first.

"There are several baskets of miscellaneous fish. You don't need to ask the aunts to come over and kill them at night. It's too late and it's cold. Let them kill them tomorrow. Just dry them all in a small tube. There's no need to kill them. Get some nylon cloth first at night. Cover it up and save it for tomorrow, even if there is heavy frost at night, it won’t damage it.”

After speaking, Ye Yaodong picked some and took them home for extra dinner in the evening.

Everyone else also went back to their homes, and went back to take a shower first. They were all wet from the waves, and they still feel uncomfortable even now.

There was no one outside the pier, but there were quite a few spectators waiting in front of his house. It happened to be on the coast, and the boats in the distance could be seen at a glance.

Moreover, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks when the boat came back also attracted many people in the village. Some people already knew from Ye’s mother that he was sailing back today. She spread the news to ten and hundreds, but many people didn’t know. What time will we dock?

After hearing the noise, some people were not too cold and ran to the shore to take a look. They saw many neighbors gathered in front of their homes. By the way, they also went to their homes to talk and exchange information.

"You're bringing the big ship back now? Tsk tsk tsk... There are really more and more boats in your family, and they are getting bigger and bigger!"

"This boat looks exactly like the Harvest. Adong is so awesome. Even a young man can buy such a big boat."

"This boat costs more than ten thousand, right?"

"Did A Dong buy it alone? Or did he partner with someone?"

"I don't know if it's a partnership with my brother at home. I heard that it has been booked for a long time. It was decided last year, right?"

"It seems to have been last year. He must have partnered with a brother at home. Otherwise, it would cost more than 10,000 yuan. It's so expensive. I heard that there are four or five people working together on the Harvest. How else could I buy it?"

With a smile on her face, Mother Ye handed out the pastries she had prepared to the villagers who were watching the excitement at the door, and explained to them.

"This boat is not jointly owned by anyone else. It belongs to Dongzi alone. The boy was not willing to join forces with others and found it troublesome. So he paid a deposit by himself and settled the deal directly."

"Fortunately, I made some money in the past few months, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford the more than ten thousand yuan. Now I'm fine, I've built a house, bought land to build a workshop, and made a lot of money for new ships, and the rest is I think I don’t have any money left, so I have to save slowly.”

"You can make money quickly, and you can spend it quickly. If you make a lot, you can spend a lot. It's true." Ye Mu said with a smile on her face and shook her head.

This time, she really succeeded and pretended to be happy. Otherwise, she would not be able to share her happiness, and she would feel uncomfortable if she could not pretend to be cool.

"It doesn't matter if he spends money, he can make money back after spending it."

"A Dong is too powerful. Who can make as much money as him?"

"Yeah, whose son is as powerful as yours? I don't even know how many boats he has in his hands? One, two, three, four? Four, right?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, some people can't even afford one. A Dong has saved many..."

"What's the name of your ship? Have you decided on a name? It's as big as the Harvest, so you must choose something nicer..."

"Dongzi said it's called Dongsheng No., and it has his name in it, and something about it rising all the time, about the sun and stars, and so on. Anyway, it's good to hear what he said."

Ye Yaodong listened to his mother pretending to promote him, and he also stood by and listened with a smile.

The children also ran out of the house and gathered around.

"Dad, is our boat coming back?"

"Third uncle, of the two boats parked together, was one of them driven back by you?"

"Dad, are you going to make a lot of money again?"

"Third uncle, is your boat bigger or my sister-in-law's?"

"Third uncle, why do you have so many boats and our family doesn't have so many? Is it because our family is relatively poor?" "I also think our family is very poor!"

"My family is relatively poor!"

"No, it must be because my family is poor!"

"My family is poor..."

Ye Yaodong's head is full of black lines, is this even better?

Is it worth being proud of whose family is poorer? Does it need to be so fought over?

"Go, go, go back inside. The sun is setting and it's very cold outside."

Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye’s face turned dark.

"Fuck them all to death."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I need to give you a good beating. Otherwise, I don't think you will be able to live well in the next few years."

"I still feel that my family is poorer than yours..."

Several people ran into the house without forgetting to compare whose family was poorer...

Father Ye and Mother Ye dealt with the neighbors with smiles on their faces. After a while, they waited for others to go back to eat before entering the house.

Lin Xiuqing also processed a few bowls of the seafood that Ye Yaodong had just brought back. Before the pot was finished cooking, everyone came over one after another and sat down to eat.

It was cold and windy outside, but the house was in full swing. There were sounds of children running and jumping upstairs. The atmosphere was extremely lively no matter upstairs or downstairs.

Those children were running around upstairs and downstairs without eating. The adults were busy taking care of the guests and had no time to watch them eat and drink. It was enough for them to play as much as they could.

They also like to have guests at home, which makes them lively and no one cares about them.

The old lady picked up a bowl of food for each of them and brought it upstairs to them.

Father Ye happened to see her coming back from peeing at the back door, and scolded her.

"Everyone has arms and legs, and you still have to take them upstairs? They are all spoiled by you, and they are still climbing up and down at an old age. If they fall, it depends on what you will do."

"Stop being so nagging, isn't this good?"

"It's a good idea now. Who knows what might happen? If something falls somewhere, who will be tired? The whole family will have to suffer along with you."

The old lady picked up the cane and hit him on the leg, "Crow's mouth, drink your wine, stop chanting, there are so many people here."

"Are you afraid of what people say? Then be careful and don't go upstairs. These children are so naughty. They will be beaten up later and they will have to be given food. They will starve to death tomorrow."

"I know, I know, don't be nagging."

The lively atmosphere lasted until after nine o'clock. Lin Xiuqing reheated the dishes for them, and kept warming the rice wine for them.

It wasn't until very late that everyone dispersed drunkenly.

Lin Xiuqing helped the person to the bed before going to clean up the mess on the table.

Because of the excitement at home at night, Ye Xiaoxi was reluctant to go to bed early and kept following the noise upstairs and downstairs.

At this moment, she saw Ye Yaodong lying on the bed with a flushed face. Unlike before, he kissed her and hugged her when he saw her. She curiously leaned over and pushed him while calling several times.

When there was no response, she kept pinching his face. After hearing the snoring, she pinched his nose and mouth.

After being pulled away, she sat on his face again and twisted around.

Ye Yaodong was confused and annoyed by her, so he had to turn away. However, this did not affect Ye Xiaoxi's performance at all. Her stinky butt kept sitting on his head and playing with it.

When he got tired of playing, he shoved his stinky feet into his face again and kept ravaging him while still giggling in his mouth.

Lin Xiuqing saw this scene when she entered the house after cleaning up. She stretched out her hand to rescue Ye Yaodong before letting Ye Yaodong escape from the devil's clutches.

Ye Yaodong had no idea that he was bullied by his daughter last night. He was woken up by the noise at the door early in the morning. Before he could curse, he heard that Ye Yaosheng had been charged with hooliganism.

He endured his headache and pricked up his ears to listen to the discussions outside. After listening for a while, he couldn't hear any reason, and then he struggled to get up and go out.

"What's wrong? Are you so noisy early in the morning? Who said Brother Aseng is guilty of being a hooligan?"

Lin Xiuqing turned around and asked, "Why did you wake up so early?"

"It's so noisy at the door. Is it weird that I can't sleep?"

"It's said that Wang Lizhen knew that Brother Asheng was getting married in two days, so she came to her house early this morning to make a fuss. She said that if she didn't want to marry her, she would sue him for being a hooligan if he was irresponsible."

Ye Yaodong: "? Brother Asheng slept with her?"

"I don't know. I just heard about it. I heard that there is a commotion going on."

"Go and have a look?"

"Don't you want to eat first?"

"Don't worry, let's take a look first. This gangster crime can be big or small, and it will be troublesome to stick to it."

That's why he has always kept himself clean. Other women are afraid of getting into trouble even if they take another look at him. Who made him so handsome?

It has always been the case that others think more of him, not him.

What's more, his wife at home is also very good, and he is quite contented. He has never thought that the red flag at home will not fall, but the colorful flags will be fluttering outside.

It's not that no one showed kindness to him, anyway, he pretended not to notice them.

Otherwise, you have to spend your own money to eat peanuts.

"Then you all go take a look together. Your eldest and second brothers just heard about it and went over first." The old lady was also very anxious. They are both grandchildren, and she originally planned to follow behind and go over to have a look.

When Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing hurried past, the door of Ye Yaosheng's house was already surrounded by people on three floors, inside and outside, with several circles of people standing on tiptoes to watch the excitement inside.

"Let's all comment. Ye Yaosheng didn't admit it after eating it all. What happened to the widow? Widows are human beings too. They are irresponsible when they act like gangsters, but they will be punished."

"That's right! If you don't take responsibility, we will go to the border police station to accuse you of being a hooligan and arrest you..."

"You provoke someone here, provoke someone there, and you still want to get married? There is no way. You have to give us an explanation no matter what."

"Although Azhen is not a young lady, she is also an innocent widow. How can she be abused by others?"

"Ye Yaosheng, if you were a man, you would marry A-Zhen back. Anyway, your family is optimistic about the future. We don't mind if it is settled with someone else. You can just give some betrothal gifts and hold a banquet to get a certificate."

"Even so, we don't think you are poor. It just so happens that you are a widow and a widower, so you are a perfect match. We just pulled out the evidence and got married. This matter has been exposed. We will not mention any gangsters in the future."

The voices in the room were getting louder and louder, and I didn't feel that the family scandal should be made public at all. I wanted to attract the whole village to watch.

The crowd outside was also talking a lot.

"This is the first time I heard about the innocent widow. Could it be that Ah Sheng really slept with her?"

"I think Xuan, we have been neighbors for decades. Ah Sheng seems to be quite honest. He wouldn't do such a thing, right? What's more, they have re-scheduled their marriage a few days ago."

"I think so too. The Wang family has never been a good person. If they really slept with their daughter, how could they wait until today? They would have been forced to come to their door long ago."

"I think they just see that Ah Sheng is honest and willing to work and can make money now, so they have been waiting for him. Some time ago, I heard that he came to the door every day to make peace, but he refused. Today I guess the old Wang family I also heard rumors that he was getting married, so I thought of using the crime of hooliganism to tie him up."

"If you are not happy now, you will be in trouble..."

"I can't explain. Well... people say you are acting like a gangster and sleeping with people. There is no way to defend it..."

"It seems that I can only marry him, otherwise it is better than arresting him."

……

The crowd said anything.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing looked at each other in confusion. They squeezed in while listening to the chatter in their ears.

Their family members were already standing in a row in the house. Uncle Ye's family, Erbo Ye's family, and his eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law were all already there. The couple arrived relatively late.

They are all cousins ​​after all. This crime of gangsterism is a big deal, and everyone is here in good condition.

Ye Yaosheng's face was full of irritation, his brows were knitted together, his face was full of bitterness, and he sat there dejectedly.

Lin Xiuqing asked the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law who came over first. The situation was similar to what they heard outside when they first came here.

Ye Yaosheng couldn't argue. He only said that he behaved himself and had never done anything.

Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye are also a little bit reluctant to accept the tough one. They just argued, but they didn't win. They are also worried about suing the gangster. In this era, it is always true to sue.

The Wang family seemed to be victors at this time. Wang Lizhen did not feel ashamed, but felt proud and said proudly: "Hurry up, just take the money as a betrothal gift, and we will settle the matter today."

Wang Lizhen's father, Wang Laowu, also said with a smile on his face: "Just give me two hundred yuan, just show your kindness."

Another two hundred dollars.

Ye Yaodong's head was covered with black lines.

"No matter how much we ask for 200 yuan, we decided that the widow in the next village wouldn't ask for 200 yuan. All she had to do was make her a red cotton-padded jacket."

Second Aunt Ye retorted loudly, and then slapped Ye Yaosheng again, "Say something..."

"If I don't marry, if I marry something I haven't done before, doesn't that mean I have done it?"

"But if you don't marry me, I will sue you for being a gangster..."

Second Aunt Ye's words sounded like she had compromised, and the Wang family looked even more proud.

"Yes, if you don't marry me, I will sue you for being a gangster."

The men of the Wang family were also there making harsh remarks, "The gangster is the one who wants to be shot. How dare you not marry me?"

Ye Yaodong was disgusted when he heard it.

Isn't it obvious that he is relying on Ye Yaosheng?

Even if you don't admit it, I will force you to admit it.

"Isn't your woman unable to get married? If you catch an honest man and bully him to death, what kind of evil did he commit in his previous life? How could he be entangled with you? He must have worshiped too few Bodhisattvas."

"Don't meddle in other people's business, it's none of your business." Wang Laowu glared at him.

"Why is this none of my business? He is my cousin, and you are going to shoot him, so our family can't talk to each other?"

Wang Lizhen said, "If you marry A-Zhen, nothing will happen. Everyone will be happy. The Chinese New Year will be here soon, and no one wants to look bad."

"Are you all sure that Brother Asheng slept with Wang Lizhen? Were you all watching and saw it?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"You fart!"

"Then if you didn't see it, how do you know he slept with her?"

"He just put my daughter to bed."

"I also said that your daughter slept with my dog. My whole family saw it. She is better than you and has witnesses."

The crowd suddenly became noisy, everyone was talking about his metaphor.

The Wang family's faces suddenly turned red, and the man rolled up his sleeves and wanted to step forward.

Ye Yaodong is afraid of him? He also has a bunch of brothers and cousins.

Both families also rolled up their sleeves.

"It's none of your business, you want to get involved? Ye Yaosheng and I have already accepted it, and we have started talking about the bride price. Do you want you to mind your own business?"

"It's not like his mother is getting married. Brother Asheng, do you admit it? Did you really sleep with Wang Lizhen?"

Ye Yaosheng saw hope and became more energetic. He stood up and denied it loudly.

"No, I won't admit anything I haven't done. I won't marry her either. I'm already engaged. How could I do such a thing? She relied on me on purpose."

"Did you hear that? Brother Asheng didn't admit that he slept with you, but my dog ​​did, right? Da Heizi."

The big black dog barked twice immediately...

Sorry, I'm so late today.

At noon, my face suddenly became allergic, and there was a large red pimple on my cheek, which was extremely itchy. I went out to check it out temporarily, which delayed me all afternoon. I started typing as soon as I got back. I haven't eaten yet, so I'm really embarrassed.

Readers have always thought that I updated it too late, so I didn't stay up late and put it in the afternoon.

But there are always too many uncertainties during the day, and if something unexpected happens, it will be too late. I think I will update it at night in the future. Feel sorry
