Ye's father drove the boat, and Ye Yaodong went to sort out the fish. Today he hauled a net, and the harvest was just so-so. The big head was squid.
It's a pity that we can't work because of the wind.
The weather at the beach is really unpredictable, and fishermen also rely on the weather and luck to survive. They don’t know if they can still go to sea at night?
Although work ended early today, they also caught about 500 kilograms of squid, and more than 100 kilograms were picked up. Including other fish, they also sold more than 160 yuan. The price of squid has also dropped to 3 cents, and it is expected that the price will continue to drop.
The squid picked up by Father and Mother Lin also sold for more than 37 yuan, one more than yesterday. They were so happy that they almost couldn't find it.
"It's a pity that we can't stay for a few more days."
"Why can't we stay longer? Don't we still have two brothers-in-law at home? Just leave the work to them. There are so many grown-ups in the family, and it's not like we don't have anyone. Why do we need you? It doesn't matter if we stay a few more days."
Father Ye also echoed, "Yes, what Dongzi said is, take advantage of these few days of flood season to stay a few more days and earn some money."
"That's what he said, but he felt uncomfortable after not having a look at his family's fields for a few days. Normally, he would go up the mountain with a hoe and give it to his son, but he couldn't rest assured that he could take care of it himself."
"What's more, we didn't expect to stay when we came this time, so we didn't bring any change of clothes." Mother Lin explained with a smile.
Father Lin also said: "It's not a problem if I don't bring any clothes. I've been serving the fields for decades. Suddenly I can't go to the fields or go up the mountains for a few days. I feel uncomfortable all over. I still have to go back and take a look to feel at ease."
Ye Yaodong knew the land complex of these older generations, so he didn't force it.
"Then you go back and hoe the land for two days and then come back. There should be a few more days of flood season. When you come out in the evening, let my dad scoop up a basin of sea water and take a look. The flood season will continue for a few more days."
"Okay, okay, let's go back and take a look first."
After selling the goods, they put the baskets and the remaining goods back on the cart.
At this time, the pier was noisy and crowded with people. The shore was filled with various large and small boats, and everyone was moving back and forth.
Baskets full of squid were carried off the boat, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles of joy for the harvest. During this time, the villagers were mainly fishing for squid.
People who are familiar with each other are discussing today's harvest, and they all regret that the discussion has become popular.
"I don't know if the waves will be big at night or if I can go. It would be a pity if I can't."
"Who says it's not the case? I can only come out at night to take a look..."
"How was your harvest? How many baskets did you harvest today?"
"Nine baskets should be more than four loads."
"Hey? Are you ready, Mr. Ye? How many loads did you collect today?"
Father Ye smiled and said: "It's not much different from you, only five loads more."
When people calculated the weight at this time, they rarely talked about a few hundred kilograms verbally, but mostly asked how many loads, because people now used poles to carry weight.
One load is one hundred kilograms.
"That's much more than us..."
"We also picked up a load on the island."
"Then if you are lucky, you can still find an island with a beach exposed. On the island we are looking for, the sea water can reach the rocks at low tide, but there is no beach in sight."
Others also said: "It would be good to find an island. There are a lot of people fighting at sea these days. Many people just throw it into the sea where no one is working, and the harvest is not bad."
Father Ye smiled and said, "We have finished weighing. Let's go now. We have been tired for a long day. Let's go back early."
"Go ahead, go ahead, we still have to line up..."
Just as they were pushing the trolley to go back, one of Ye Yaodong's cousins ​​suddenly ran over in a hurry, stretched his neck to look in the crowd, and then looked at the sea.
Ye Yaodong stopped him in confusion, "Jianjun? Who are you looking for?"
He turned around and saw Ye Yaodong in the corner. He quickly squeezed in sideways and said, "Old cousin, someone is here to seek revenge on you. You guys have blocked that group of people in the village. Some of them have gone home to get the guy."
, my mother asked me to inform you quickly. Auntie said that you haven’t come back yet and she was very anxious. She asked me to come to the pier to take a look..."
Ye Yaodong glared, "Who wants to seek revenge? Let's go..."
He took two poles from the cart and handed one to his cousin Jianjun. Then he said to Father Ye and the others: "Dad, please push the cart home first, and I'll go over and take a look."
The sticks were on the boat and had not been taken down. There was only a carrying pole on the cart.
Father Ye reminded him worriedly, "Be careful. Did Jianjun go to the brigade to call someone? Call the village chief and secretary."
"Dongzi...wait...let's go together..."
"Uncle, help us push the cart home. I'll go to your place later to push it."
Xiaoxiao and Azheng also took a pole from the car and followed them, talking as they walked.
"The ones who stepped on the horse are probably the father and son who were beaten by us yesterday. They are looking for death, and they still come to our door. Let's go and have a look."
"It must be those three. How many people did you bring here? Mad, you actually know which village I am from. That's amazing." Ye Yaodong also asked Lin Jianjun.
"Don't we all have marks on our boats to mark who belongs to them? I guess they went to find out after they came back yesterday."
"It must be, it came quite quickly."
Lin Jianjun also trotted along with them. "It looked like there were more than 20 people. They were coming in a menacing manner. Some were holding sticks, some were holding poles, and some were holding shovels. It looked like they were not good friends."
"Fortunately, they had just entered the village, and the villagers noticed them, stopped them, and called the young adults everywhere. Now they are pushing and scolding them."
"They are asking you to return the diesel engine fiercely. Have you really moved their machine? In the morning, people in the village were saying that you brought another machine back yesterday. As soon as they said it, everyone knew
It’s you. What’s going on?”
Ye Yaodong ran and told him what happened at sea yesterday.
"That's right! They should be evacuated. How dare you openly rob them? If the boat crashes, use his boat to land it."
Xiaoxiao said: "It's probably because the wind has picked up and everyone in their village has returned, so they came to the door at this time."
Ye Yaodong frowned, "Whatever, run faster..."
As soon as they passed an intersection, they heard the noise coming from the turning corner not far away. The shouting and cursing got louder and louder, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.
When they got closer, they could clearly hear the shouting. After turning another intersection, they saw a group of young adults holding sticks shouting.
"Tell the people who beat people and rob machines to come out."
"Come out~"
"Hand over the machine~"
"Go away, this is Baisha Village, not your place to run wild. Believe it or not, we have surrounded you and won't let you leave today."
"Yes, we surrounded them. They were so arrogant. The wind picked up today. The people from our village on the sea will be back soon. Don't let them escape!"
At this time, the village committee came over in time and shouted: "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, talk about it. If you really fight, you won't get any good results. They will all be arrested and sent to the border defense station."
"Yes, the border guard station is not far from us. If you catch him and squat for a few days, you won't have to catch squid. Let's see if it's other people's machines that suffer more damage, or whether everyone can't catch squid."
Secretary Chen yelled this, and everyone who had been quarreling with red faces and thick necks suddenly calmed down again as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.
The interests of others are of course not as important as your own.
When it comes to their own interests, everyone is extremely clear-headed. How can they put themselves on the line for others? You can make a lot of money this day.
"Everyone, calm down, if anything happens..."
"It's him! It's him!"
Suddenly, a young man with a bruised nose and face pointed at the four people who had just walked over and shouted: "They are the ones who robbed our machine yesterday."
Everyone looked in the direction of his fingertips.
The people in this village were not surprised, they had already guessed it was Ye Yaodong.
Yesterday they brought the machine back, and many people at the dock saw it. Today, the news has spread throughout the country, and everyone is guessing where he got one machine after another?
I just brought one back some time ago, and now I have another one. Everyone wonders if he is also imitating those pirates on Luzhou Island?
When these people came, they realized they were robbing them, but before they came to explain it clearly, they definitely couldn't let people from other villages come and run wild, and even brought weapons and showed off their power to ask them to surrender.
Ye Yaodong and several others came over in an elegant manner, each carrying a pole.
He said rudely: "So what if we robbed you? You were the one who robbed!"
"Yes, that's right. These shameless bastards just let them go yesterday morning. Yesterday at noon, they sneaked around the island we occupied to steal squid and caught several baskets of squid."
"We have been cutting down the branches around us for several days and throwing them into the sea one after another for trapping. These three people are not human beings. They actually came over to steal them arrogantly and even hit Dongzi's boat. The boat was damaged by him.
It’s all flooded.”
"Fortunately, we came back in time, otherwise the three of them would have climbed onto the boat to fight Dongzi and his father."
"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously the four of them who are chasing us."
"If you do it for no reason, why am I chasing you? Wouldn't it be better for me to catch more squid? I'm still wasting my time chasing you?"
The young man with a bruised nose and swollen face blushed angrily and pointed at him with his index finger, "Just because we were close to the island, you said that we occupied your territory, so you wanted to beat us, beat us, and then took it away.
machine."
Ye Yaodong and the three of them laughed angrily.
Naked and beaten!
Ah Zheng slapped his finger off and said, "Don't point your finger at me."
The young man was also young and energetic. He immediately rolled up his sleeves, glared and rushed forward to fight, "Let's break off the chicken..."
"What...what...are you going to fight, right?" The villagers in front of them stopped them one after another.
People from other villages on the opposite side also helped to hold the people back after they woke up, "Aqiu, please talk nicely, please talk nice."
Everyone pulled and pulled before they stopped the young man named Aqiu.
Ye Yaodong also stepped forward and said: "There are still traces of your collision yesterday under my boat. Do you want to go to the beach and have a look? It's so shameless. You came here to blatantly catch squid and you are so arrogant."
People who had just returned from the sea also joined the crowd and helped to speak: "Yes, Adong's boat did have signs of being hit. We saw it just after we docked, and we were still puzzled. Who would take their own boat if they had nothing to do?
Damn, I don’t feel bad, they must be lying.”
"That's right, it's so shameless. A thief calls for a thief."
All three of them, father and son, blushed.
"That's because he is chasing us and we can't escape."
"That's because you secretly cast nets around the branches we planted with eggs. Why do we plant trees and you pick the fruits? Who are you?"
"You're talking nonsense!" the young man named Aqiu shouted without confidence.
The eyes of the masses are sharp.
On the one hand, he is arrogant and well-founded; on the other hand, he is obviously lacking in confidence and full of shame and anger.
See the difference between superior and inferior.
Even the people in their own village knew it.
At this time, Secretary Chen said: "Anyway, you should have a rough understanding of the whole story. If there is still something unclear, you can restate it again."
Ye Yaodong has already recited it once and just said a few more sentences. He doesn't want to repeat it a second time. It's been a tiring day. Who can deal with it patiently?
Xiaoxiao was impatient and had to take over the conversation. After telling the story again, everyone understood it clearly.
If he hadn't been afraid that the group fight would get serious and everyone would have to spend a few days in jail together, missing the flood season, he really wanted to beat them so hard that they wouldn't be able to leave the village entrance today.
"Don't believe what he said. We wanted to put branches around the island, but they occupied them and didn't allow me to put them. They also stopped us from leaving. They even got on the boat and beat us up and took us away.
Robotic fishing net on board.”
Anyway, no one saw it, so he could say whatever he wanted.
"It's easy to be evasive. Just now you admitted that you drove your boat into my boat. Get out of here! It's impossible to pay it back. My boat was damaged. It's a good thing that I didn't ask you to pay for it."
A villager from another village on the other side spoke helpfully: "Buying a new machine costs several hundred dollars, and repairing the boat doesn't cost much, more than ten or twenty yuan. Why don't you let him pay for the repair cost?"
The machine will be returned to him, and that will be the end of the matter for today, so there is no need to hurt everyone’s harmony..."
"Yes, it's not easy for everyone to take a step back and everyone is making a living at sea..."
Just now, I was blushing and having a thick neck because of the scolding, but now I am saying this.
"What a beautiful idea? We have two ships. Because he was delayed for a long time and did not catch a few squids, he had no choice but to return. Are you prepared to compensate me for the loss of this cargo?"
"That's easy to say. It's not your own loss. You open and close your mouth. You have the final say in everything?"
Ye Yaodong sneered. The delay yesterday allowed their two boats to catch hundreds of kilograms less.
Only by selling this diesel engine second-hand can they compensate for their losses. How dare you just open your mouth and send him away for ten or twenty yuan?
Where does that face come from?
When the people on the other side heard what he said, they also felt that it made sense. With more time, they could catch more nets.
"Didn't you carry away all the squid we poached? What did you lose?" The person next to him pulled Aqiu, but it was too late to stop him from speaking.
"Oh~ I'm not asking for it anymore!"
The people around them suddenly looked at them with clear faces.
"There's no need to quibble now, right? We are serious people and we never lie or slander anyone!"
Chapter completed!
