The father and son each rode a bicycle, and Ye's father helped him share half of the weight of the goods. The ride was barely smooth, and it was better than walking anyway.
Even with Ye Yaodong's head covered and only one eye exposed, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the people passing by.
Although it was already eight or nine in the morning, there were still many people on the road carrying hoes, carrying burdens, or pushing carts.
I didn't directly regard him as Jie Dao, but people kept staring at me when I came and went. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?
"Can't you take off the mask on your head? If you're wearing a hat, wear a hat. You have to cover your face when walking on the road. Normally, no one will see you at sea. It's broad daylight. I'm passing by here.
People kept staring."
"Ah, don't I always carry this with me? Most people in the village are used to it."
"The key is that all the people walking on the road are passers-by. It's a good thing I'm walking beside you, otherwise everyone would think you are a tribulation."
"It's not that exaggerated!"
"Not yet? Look at the people passing by. Every eye that goes far away has to turn back to look at you."
Ye Yaodong pedaled his bicycle with great effort, watching a woman walking towards him carrying a load keep turning her head to look at him, and accidentally fell directly into the field on the side of the road...
The woman screamed, then quickly got up and cleaned up, but her eyes still glanced at him from time to time, and she didn't know what she was muttering.
After thinking about it, he still didn't plan to take it off. The sun was too strong. In this summer, if he walked under the scorching sun for a whole day, his skin would peel off.
"I'll take it off later when I get into town. There aren't many people on the road now. Just take a look if you want. It might be better to wear a mask. Otherwise, when my face is exposed, a bunch of older girls and younger wives will be chasing me.
Ran away."
"Shit, stop putting gold on your face."
"To be honest, you still don't believe it. Dad, how did your mother and you give birth to me so white and handsome?"
"A son is like his mother. When your mother was young, she was a flower spread across the country..."
"No, look at my eldest brother and second brother..."
Father Ye: "..."
"I must have a genetic mutation!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Haha~"
The father and son chatted while walking, but it was not boring at all to have a companion. As soon as they arrived in the county town, they asked passers-by, and ran straight to the Maritime Safety Bureau regardless of whether it was hot or lively on the street.
When we arrived at the entrance of the Maritime Safety Bureau, we happened to catch up with people getting off work, and there were other units around. At this time, bicycles were riding out from various compounds. The father and son were pushing the bicycles and standing by the door, stretching their necks.
Watch.
"There are so many bicycles here, does everyone have one?"
"What's the point? When we first came here, there were always bicycles on the streets. These workers were paid for their work and their families were stable. Buying a bicycle was nothing to them."
"It's good to eat commercial food here." Father Ye looked around with envy. "Don't farm and fish. The roads in the city are flat and clean. Commuting by bicycle is stable and decent. No wonder everyone wants to go to the city.
Even though we are running away, we still need to let our children study more."
Isn’t this nonsense? Reading is the easiest shortcut, but it also depends on whether you have the talent and the brain.
"I haven't seen anyone come out here. Have you come to work?"
Ye Yaodong stretched his neck at the door and looked inside. He saw that almost all the people were gone, and he didn't see the real owner coming out.
"Did you not come to work today and do other things?"
"I don't know."
Just when he was thinking about asking the doorman while there was no one around, he saw a familiar man in Chinese tunic suit walking out and walking towards the awning set up in the open space next to him.
"Director Chen! Director Chen!"
Ye Yaodong called twice. Seeing him turn around, he quickly glanced at the guard and then ran inside quickly.
Director Chen was extremely surprised, "Why are you here?"
Ye Yaodong looked at the row of tricycles parked inside the awning, his eyes widened. So many?
He counted more than 10 in his mind. Could it be that they were eliminated from the army? Otherwise, why would there be so many?
"I'm asking you, I'm looking straight. I've never seen so many motorcycles?"
"Hehe~ I've never seen one before. There aren't many bicycles in the countryside. It's possible to see one or two in town, but there aren't so many, and they're three-wheelers."
"Well, these were just delivered."
Can't sell...
He almost asked the question, but fortunately he swallowed it back. Asking here was in vain.
Ye Yaodong glanced at it for a few times and then looked away, "I haven't seen you for a while. Director Chen looks more energetic, plump and rosy, and his face is rosier."
"Haha! You can also read faces. When did you learn this skill?"
"You have it all printed on your face, how can you learn skills?"
"When did you come to the county seat? Did you come to do something?" Director Chen was not in a hurry and rode on the three-wheeler, leaning on the side and chatting with him.
"I just took advantage of my free time today and it's not raining, so I planned to come and visit you. Thank you."
Director Chen was a little confused for a moment, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Forgot? On Mazu's birthday, you asked the border control station to leave a boat for me, just in time for me to catch up with the squid season. The boat came in handy. My family has been urging me to come over and thank you in person.
, I just happened to take some time today."
"I should have come here some time ago, but it rained from time to time, and our village immediately held a Mazu parade to pray for blessings. A bunch of things, one after another, have been delayed until now..."
"Oh, it's okay. I just mentioned it. Don't take it to heart. Have you eaten? Come to my house to eat."
"I've eaten. My father and I just had a bowl of noodles on the road..."
His stomach rumbled suddenly, exposing his lie.
I only had a bowl of porridge in the morning, and I sweated it out without even peeing. It had been several hours, and I had ridden all the way, so it would be strange not to be hungry.
If he hadn't been trying to catch someone before getting off work, he wouldn't have known where to look for him. Fortunately, he found him, otherwise he would have had to wait on the side of the road for several hours, waiting for someone to go to work before he could see him.
"Haha, my stomach is already growling. Why don't you be polite? Come to my house to eat. It's just a bite." Director Chen smiled, then got on the motorcycle and motioned for him to climb into the carriage.
"My dad is still outside. I can just ride my bike. We came here on our bikes."
"Oh, your dad is here too."
They moved to the door, and Director Chen also saw Father Ye waiting under the tree at the door with a silly smile. The two bicycles next to him were piled full of things.
When Father Ye saw someone coming out, he quickly said hello.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, are you here in town to sell things?"
"No, these are all for you..." Ye Yaodong saw that he was frowning and trying to refuse, and quickly explained, "These are all dried and caught by ourselves. They don't cost money to buy. They are local specialties, not
Nothing valuable."
"Well, that's too polite. I brought a sack of dried fish, I guess. Last time I brought it home, my wife and children said it was delicious. Steaming or frying a bowl is the best dish to go with wine.
I still have half a bag of bags delivered everywhere at home, so you don’t need to give them to me anymore..."
"This bag is of cuttlefish, not dried fish. During the flood season, we dried a large number of them. I thought you might not have finished eating the dried fish, so we took the cuttlefish. We only have these things at home..."
After the three of them stood under a big tree and exchanged a few words, the father and son, each with a bicycle, rode behind the motorcycle.
After following for ten minutes, we stopped at the downstairs of a family building that seemed to be newly built. We were then taken to the third floor and received a warm greeting from Director Chen and his wife.
We also had a bowl of noodles at their house and sat and chatted for a while. We didn't go downstairs together until it was time to go to work.
Father Ye watched the man riding a motorcycle whine and walked away, then he looked up at the building again, and couldn't help but said: "This newly built house is bright and bright. It has everything in the house, tsk tsk tsk~"
"Our family will have everything in the future."
"The refrigerator is really good. The beer and watermelon taken out of it are very cold. It's really refreshing to take a sip on this hot day." Father Ye smacked his mouth twice, still lingering on the aftertaste.
"I've said it for a long time, but in the countryside we don't have enough electricity and the voltage is unstable, so we still can't buy it. It would be great if we could buy that motorcycle."
"You really dare to think that when you asked me in the room, you almost scared me."
"Don't you think that motorcycle is always good-looking, handsome, and majestic? Look at how domineering Director Chen is when he drives the motorcycle, like a gust of wind, um~ he rushes out after just two sounds. It's so handsome."
"Didn't they say it? This is allocated to other units below and cannot be sold."
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "It's not possible now, but maybe it will be possible in the future."
"Don't think about it. Bicycles are enough. Many people don't even have bicycles. You are already thinking about a motorcycle. If you buy it, it might become a doghouse."
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, thinking about the group of dogs at home before, it was really possible.
"Let's go to the shipyard to see if our big ship has started construction."
