The weather was good, and we went out to sea for three consecutive days to fish. At this time, everyone obviously found that there were less squid, and the number was gradually decreasing day by day.
From being able to catch six to seven hundred kilograms a day, to 500 kilograms, and then to more than 300 kilograms, on the third day because of the rain, we only caught 100 kilograms and had to call it a day.
Heavy raindrops fell, and Ye Yaodong and Ye's father were wet from head to toe. They were still opening nylon bags to cover the goods to prevent them from getting wet in the rain.
"It's just a matter of doing it. The goods are getting less and less day by day. It's still raining. It's only two o'clock. There are still several hours to waste. I don't know how long it will rain."
Father Ye was also a little pity. Fortunately, they went into the water and touched some river rocks in the morning, which could compensate for today's losses.
"Don't wait for the rain to stop, just go back. It's already past three o'clock when we go back. Who knows when the rain will stop?"
Ye Yaodong nodded and went directly to sail the boat, picking up his two brothers-in-law and calling little Azheng back together. It was a rainy day with big waves and blurry vision, so an extra boat would be an extra person to take care of him.
The two brothers-in-law didn't feel too sorry. They had almost picked up the goods in the afternoon, and the squid were obviously getting less and less day by day. As soon as the afternoon came, they went to pry shells from the rocks, or fished along the sea around the island.
The waves were probably strong today, so we caught a lot of crabs for them, including more than a dozen blue crabs. They also picked up a lot of fish and clams, as well as a big bass weighing more than eight pounds. They were so happy that they almost couldn't bear to part with it.
go back.
Ye Yaodong was also very happy when he saw the harvest of his two brothers-in-law, "The harvest is good, but it's a pity that I have to go back early. My child is one month old tomorrow, so I have a day off, and it happens to rain. Let's wait two days before coming back."
Lin Xianghui said with a smile: "We will go back after the child is one month old. I have troubled you here for so many days and still eat and make money..."
"We are all one family, no need to say such kind words."
"I'm not saying that politely. You can probably pick all the bayberries on the mountain. There's a lot of work to do at home. Our parents are getting old, so we have to go back and help. I think the squid's flood season is almost over, and the full moon is over.
Just go back."
"Okay, then you can figure it out yourself."
"The goods we caught today will not be sold. We will prepare a table tomorrow. We have worked hard these days."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. You guys should go hide in the cabin."
On a rainy day, the rain would blur the vision and reduce the visibility. Ye's father was worried about leaving the boat to Ye Yaodong, fearing that he would not be able to discern the direction and that he would hit the rocks. He took out a spare raincoat from the cabin, put it on, and drove them all away.
Enter the cabin and take over the work of sailing the boat.
Xiaoxiao and Azheng were inexperienced, but fortunately their father was driving the boat to lead the way, so they only had to follow.
After all, Father Ye had rich experience. Although the rain gradually increased, he managed to reach the shore without any danger in the heavy rain.
There are also many small boats on the pier that have already docked. These small boats cannot go very far and can only fish in the waters around the coast. The harvest will be less, but during this period, they can still make a lot of money.
Today, everyone's harvest is generally poor. There is not much cargo piled up at the dock, which is much worse than the previous few days. However, the purchase price of squid has not been raised. It is really oversupply.
There were few goods on rainy days, so there was no need to queue up to sell goods. Except for the goods he wanted to keep, Ye Yaodong had weighed everything else.
The villagers who were taking shelter from the rain at the purchasing site were also discussing that today's harvest was not as good as the previous one, and the squid's flood season was probably over soon.
"Ah Dong, how many loads did you catch today?"
"You always get more stuff than everyone else, so there should be a lot today, right?"
"Where is it? What I caught is almost the same as everyone else's. My brother-in-law picked up the extra ones. I just caught a little over a load today, so it was almost all in vain."
Seeing the two brothers Lin Xianghui and Lin Xiangrong carrying Jiang Yao over, the villagers craned their necks to watch.
"You picked up a lot of Jiang Yao again? You are very lucky. You have them every day recently."
"It just happened to happen. It will probably be gone tomorrow."
In fact, he has almost finished digging that area. When the time comes, he will look around to see if there is anything left.
"Your harvest is not bad. You can get a little bit of goods here and a little bit here and there."
"You have to find a way to make ends meet, right? There is another mouth in the family. I just paid a large fine. I have to find a way to earn more. I can't really fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Every day is a day."
Ye Yaodong responded while weighing the goods.
"You've caught a thousand pieces during this time, right?"
"More than that!" Ah Cai replied while weighing the goods.
Ye Yaodong glared at him, and then said to the gossiping villagers: "It's as if you didn't sell them for a thousand bucks. You have made a lot of money these days. You have made a lot of five to six hundred kilograms, six to seven hundred kilograms intermittently."
God, it’s no less than me, and I was fined a lot of money.”
Pinkeye can be found everywhere. Fortunately, he has nothing to report to others now. As long as his wealth is not exposed and he complains about his poverty, even a household worth ten thousand yuan will not be able to blame him. It’s just that Cai talked a bit too much today.
"By the way, when will the money from selling the squid be paid? The boss has paid a sum of money. Ah Cai, please don't run away with the money."
As usual, change the topic first!
As soon as Ah Cai finished accounting, he heard this and raised his head and slashed his eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've always been a good boy in business. I make a lot of money all year round. Are you so shallow that you want to run away?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Usually, the goods are scattered. You settle the accounts every few days, and the accumulation is not much. The amount of squid was huge a few days ago, several kilograms a day. The money you have on hand is several times that of usual.
.No, you have to settle part of the knot for me today, otherwise I will go to your house at night and not leave."
He originally thought that since he talked so much today, he would jokingly change the subject, but as he continued to talk, he became really worried. This was not his family's goods, and there were other families accumulating them.
Really a lot of money.
In this era, it is difficult to find someone who has committed a crime and just ran away. Without an ID card or a camera, you can just get on the train and start your life again in any city.
When the villagers heard this, they also said: "Yes, yes, let's settle part of it first. Anyway, the flood season is almost over."
"Yes, yes, my family is in urgent need of money, and I want to come to your house tonight to tell you to settle the bill first."
"That's right, let's calculate part of it today, and then calculate the rest after the flood season is over. If the payment doesn't arrive, it won't matter if it's two days later. I'll give it today. Everyone in the family needs to be grateful and live."
"Why are you so anxious? I haven't even received my payment yet." Ah Cai said depressedly. He was also anxious to collect the money. Who would pay him in advance?
"After so many days, I'm sure it won't be all gone. Let's settle some of it first."
"That's right..."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay you a little in advance. Why are you so anxious? I can really run away?"
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Anyway, if you put the money in your hands, you have to give it to us after checking it once. Just settle a little bit for each person first. The savings will be too big later. What should I do if I am robbed? There are many people in the village with unclean hands and feet.
.”
"Yes, yes, even the wood was stolen."
"Yes, everyone knows that your family has a strong financial background. Maybe they will take advantage of this period of time when goods and money are abundant to directly touch your family."
"Whoever dares to touch my house, I will chop off his hands." He looked at Ye Yaodong again, "The Xu family's poor man should be severely punished again. His legs will be broken. That idiot will feel like him every time I bump into him.
nausea."
"Then I'll leave it to you to have your legs broken. We agreed that we would go to your house to settle the accounts in the evening. I'm going back first. I'm so wet and uncomfortable..."
I don’t know when the rain will stop. Anyway, we are all wet. We don’t have to wait for a while. If we go back early, we can also take a hot shower early. Now that the season has changed, it is easy to catch a cold.
After Ye Yaodong went back, he also calculated in his mind how much he had earned from squid during this period. Two thousand yuan was indispensable, because he not only caught squid, but also sorted out the goods in the sea.
After deducting the fine for having a child and the money for the internet machine, he can probably still earn a thousand dollars. This period of time is not in vain. He buys this and adds to that, and his family wealth has not decreased but has increased.
.
After finishing his meal, he took a shower and took a nap, then got up late in the evening to settle the accounts.
At this time, the rain was still pouring down, and after hearing the news, many people from Ah Cai's family came to count the money. He had a large amount, so he took 500 yuan first, and the others only took two or three hundred yuan, but it was still pretty good.
Originally, the villagers were in a bad mood on rainy days, but now they didn't feel it anymore. They all had money to share, and everyone looked happy. They all said nice things and said they would wait for the rain to stop and get more money tomorrow.
Who knows how much he can get tomorrow, but he has no time anyway. The child is one month old the next day, and he has to accompany Ah Qing to get a sterilization on the third day.
Fortunately, the flood season was almost over. After making so much money, he didn't feel bad if he didn't have to go for the next two or three days. He just treated it as a holiday for himself. It was indeed hard work during this period, and his face was almost tanned.
Damn it, my ass and butt are completely different colors.
It's not summer yet, and it will be even more sunny by then. No wonder the fishermen are looking older.
Lin Xiuqing was also distressed. When he went into the house to get some clothes shirtless after taking a shower in the afternoon, she saw sun spots on his back, neck, and chest. There were white patches here and there.
Holding a large amount of handed-in big unity in her hand, she smiled and said: "Go to the drugstore later to see if there is any ointment. I will buy one and apply it on you. My back and neck are peeling from the sun."
Ye Yaodong said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with me? I need to see if there's any whitening facial oil on my face. I've become so dark in just a year. In a few years, people might think I'm..."
Where is your dad?"
Lin Xiuqing was amused by him, "It's not that exaggerated. At best, people will just think you are Grandpa Xiaojiu."
"ah?"
