Lying in bed at night, Ye Yaodong also had a long chat with Lin Xiuqing, both of whom told her that after he left, she would be asked to leave Ah Cai's goods every day according to the situation, and she only had to settle the account every few days.
Also, as for the bill for the recent trawling, he will pay it tomorrow and clear the bill, so that he will not be at home by then and have bills coming and going, and he is afraid of getting them mixed up.
Furthermore, Wang Guangliang also told her about their wages, which was 40 yuan a month for four people, which was only 160. He was not at home, and they needed to watch over the operations of the workshop day and night.
"Also, when the time comes when you deliver goods to the city every now and then, you can also send Wang Guangliang to follow the car, but if you want the money, don't let our father bring it back to him. Let our father leave it alone first, he won't understand.
Just wait until I get back to pick up the wire transfer."
"You'd better go to the city to pick it up before you leave. After so many days, I've probably saved up one or two thousand yuan. No, the army just sent 2,000 kilograms. My father must have saved up several thousand yuan.
A thousand."
"By the way, take all the odds and ends at home to the city. It will take several days for the dried fish to be dried in the next two days. I will send the ones at home first, which can also provide a buffer."
"Well, that's okay. Then I'll prepare everything at home and then go to the city the day after tomorrow."
Lin Xiuqing lay in his arms, hugged his waist, and rubbed her head on the crook of his neck, "Be careful and listen to dad more."
"Well, go to bed early and pack everything tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle to the town first. The photos he had sent to the photo studio for development the day before yesterday could be picked up today.
Just before he left, I mailed him all the photos of Director Chen. A few were exposed, but most of the ones about his portraits were good. There was also a photo of a damaged motorcycle.
I don’t know how to proceed with the program. Is it just a matter of his words, or can it be done casually?
Anyway, the photos are here, which can prove that the motorcycle is indeed damaged and scrapped. Regardless of whether he can use it or not, it is better to send it to him together. If it cannot be used, it is best.
After sending it, he hurried home and prepared to push the rice that his mother had gone to other villages to collect early in the morning to the workshop for grinding.
He didn't know how long he would be going, but he asked his mother to buy two months' worth of rice for 12 people, and he only had to pay for the two ships.
He didn't care about the other ships. After all, they weren't the only ones this year. It was impossible for nearly a hundred people to mix and eat together. There were enough people in his two ships. It was best to solve the problem separately and share it among themselves.
People in the village were also active early in the morning, and even the people queuing up in the rice milling workshop were from their village.
Those who planned to go to Zhejiang Province with us did not go to sea last night and stayed at home to prepare.
Aguang was also in and out of Tianli's house all day long. He didn't know when his father would come back. Anyway, he had prepared all the things he needed to prepare. When his father came back, he could just carry the things onto the boat.
.
Ye Yaodong also hopes that the Harvest will not go too long this time and come back early to catch up. After all, he still has three shares of this ship.
However, the typhoon has just passed and we have been off for half a month. The fishing boats have just gone out and there must be a lot of cargo. There is no guarantee that Uncle Pei will not be greedy and stay at sea for an extra day or two, so we can only wait for now.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. They looked forward to the stars and the moon, but they still didn't expect the Harvest to come back.
Early in the morning before departure, Aguang ran over and told him that he planned to go directly to his ship and asked Huimei to leave a message to his father. When he came back, he would ask him to carry the prepared supplies directly onto the ship and then sail directly.
The boat goes to Zhejiang Province.
He had arranged for both of his family's boats to go fishing for jellyfish, and he had to go with them. Otherwise, no one would supervise how much they sold. If a false report came and no one knew about it, their family would suffer great losses.
"Fortunately, Uncle Pei went there last year and will know how to take the route. The Harvest boat is also big. Let's take a step first. It is estimated that they will be back in the next two days. Then let Uncle Pei sail the boat there by himself.
, at most we put a little effort into it when we met."
"Hey, I thought about it for two days, and I thought the same thing. Just let my dad sail the boat later. There's nothing we can do if we can't catch up. So many people have agreed to go today, and we can't just do it just because of the Harvest.
Wait."
"The main reason is that I don't know when I will come back. If I can wait for half a day or a day, it's okay. The flood season is so long, and the big boat can make enough money just by fishing."
"We are not the only ones. There are so many people waiting to follow. If we delay for one day, we may all lose a day. Anyway, that's it. I don't have anything to take except a few clothes. When are you going to set off?"
"My mother looked at the time and said that the best time is between 7 and 9 in the morning. It turns out that today is a good day for a long trip. Would you like to stay and have breakfast first and then go back to get your things?"
"No, it's already cooked at home. I just got up and haven't set off yet, so I came over to talk about it first."
"Okay, okay, then you go back to eat first. After the meal, bring your luggage over and get on the boat together later."
A Guang nodded and responded, then rode home again.
Some people were in a hurry and started moving things to the boat early in the morning, pushing them back and forth with carts. It was rare for the dock to be so busy with people coming and going early in the morning.
After the move was completed, everyone didn't go home, so they started sitting in front of Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua's house next door to wait for departure.
When Ye Yaodong had just finished breakfast, hundreds of people were already standing or sitting in the open space next to the door.
Not all of them are going out to sea with them, some of them are their family members who are also accompanying them and waiting.
Seeing Ye Yaodong and Ye's father coming out, they all asked if they could leave.
"Looking at the time, it would be better to set off between 7 and 9 o'clock. You can get on the boat first and organize the things you brought. If there is no problem, we will leave as soon as the time comes."
Most of his things have been moved to the boat, and he will check again later to see if he has missed anything.
"Then let's go now and get on the boat first..."
"Let's go, let's get on the boat first. It's already 7 o'clock. Let's check each other's things. If there's no problem, let's go together."
"Then let's go..."
Everyone greeted each other in twos and threes and moved outside the pier.
Ye Yaodong was also about to go out, but suddenly there was a pendant on his foot, and there were several children surrounding him.
Ye Chenghu was reluctant to leave, with admiration on his face, "Dad, are you going to sea for a long time this time?"
"Well, I might not come back until the Mid-Autumn Festival. You two should be obedient at home and don't run around so that your mother can't find you."
"I know, Dad."
Ye Chengyang also raised his head and looked eagerly, "Dad, you have to be obedient and make a lot of money back."
"Yes, I will."
"Third uncle, you and my father must come back safely." Ye Chenghai is an older child who knows more and knows that safety is the most important thing.
"Um."
"My dad and the others are leaving, we will follow them first."
"Well, go ahead, you go in front and I'll go in behind."
Ye Yaodong also looked down at Ye Xiaoxi, who had been holding his thigh tightly. He lifted his feet and walked. The child also sat on his insteps and hugged his calves. He also moved with him. He was heavier than iron and lead.
"What do you want?"
"Want a hug!"
"Don't be naughty, your dad is about to leave."
Lin Xiuqing tried to hold her hand and pull her away, but she resisted fiercely. She waved her hand and shouted, "No, no."
"It's okay, I'll hold her for a while."
Ye Yaodong helplessly lifted the child into his arms, put his forehead against hers, moved it twice, and said with a smile: "I will carry you to the dock. I will get on the boat later, so just follow you obediently."
Mom is going home, you know?"
Ye Xiaoxi flattened his mouth, hugged his neck tightly, and said nothing.
Ye Yaodong kissed her cheek and quickly followed the large troops in front.
Mother Ye muttered next to her, "A daughter is as precious as anything. She is still hanging on her when she leaves."
"Dongzi also loves his son, and the other children will also love him."
The old lady also followed, walking slowly with a cane and helping to talk.
"It just depends on whether you will be more filial when you grow up, whether you can buy some wine and buy more pig's feet and go home."
"My daughter can do it all."
Aguang also smiled and said: "Dongzi has a good life. He has two sons and a daughter. They are all complete and complete. There will be nothing missing in this life."
"Nonsense, I'm still short of money. If I wasn't short of money, why would I be so diligent?"
"Who is not short of money? All Chinese people are short of money. The richer people are, the more they make money there."
"That makes sense...it's rare to hear you say something so reasonable..."
"Cut~"
The people in front had all gone a long way, and their family was still lagging behind slowly, chatting as they walked.
Wang Guangliang and the others were quite conscientious, and they followed him all the time, but they were very discerning and did not interfere in what the family was saying.
Ye's mother was really worried again. Huimei didn't give birth to a son, which made her worried. Waiting for five years was too long. Aguang would be 30 years old by then, but she was pregnant early and worried again.
The old mother's heart was broken.
Along the way, Ye Mu was immersed in her own thoughts. It wasn't until everyone arrived at the pier that she immediately came back to her senses. Now was not the time to think about this.
The old lady looked at the dozen or so spectacular fishing boats lined up in front of her, and said with some melancholy: "Are you leaving now?"
"Going to leave."
If there is anything that needs to be said, I have already said it in the past two days. I have just walked all the way and explained it almost. There is nothing more to say.
Father Ye also urged Ye Yaodong, "Let's go and get on the boat. Everyone is getting on their own boats, and the workers are also getting on."
Lin Xiuqing also reached out to hug Ye Xiaoxi in his arms, but the child held her very tightly and refused to let go, and kept shouting for his father.
"I want daddy, I want daddy, I want to be with you."
"Dad is about to get on the boat. Just be obedient and I'll be back soon. You see, that's dad's boat. I often go to sea. Shouldn't you get used to it earlier?"
"No, I want to follow you."
Ye Yaodong didn't dare to use force when holding her little wrist. It was so thin and small, and he was afraid of hurting her if he used force, so he could only comfort her patiently.
"Be good and I will bring you fun toys and delicious food when I come back..."
"don't want!"
Before she finished speaking, she shook her head firmly and loudly refused.
"I promise it's all things you don't have and have never played with, okay?"
"don't want!"
"Girl, there are so many things to do, let me do it." Mother Ye couldn't bear to see him lingering, so she stretched out her hand to help hug him.
Ye Yaodong dodged for a moment and glared at his mother.
I wonder if he enjoys it very much and enjoys it?
He held the child and leaned into Lin Xiuqing's arms. Ye Xiaoxi burst into tears instantly, "I want you, I want you, I want you..."
Lin Xiuqing also hugged the child tightly to prevent her from clinging to Ye Yaodong any longer, "Be obedient or you will beat me when you go back. Did you see the way I beat your brother? Your brother's butt is all red.
,Are you afraid?”
She cried loudly and kept looking at Ye Yaodong with tears in her eyes.
He usually goes to sea at night, how could she know?
It was the first time that she saw her father going to sea with so many people during the day, and she clearly felt that the atmosphere at home was a little different these two days.
Children are very sensitive. Although they are not sensible, they still know that they will definitely not be seen for a long time. I feel reluctant and can only cry loudly.
Ye Yaodong turned around and took a look, then touched the heads of his two sons beside him, and had no choice but to get on the boat ruthlessly.
"Brother Dong, come back soon~"
"Um."
Everyone on the ship is checking what they have brought. The long-term workers only need to bring a few clothes. After checking, they sit on the ground and wait.
When he got on the boat, Father Ye and A Guang had already checked everything they had brought.
"Ouch? Have you brought the four newly made hand-thrown nets?" Father Ye was startled and almost shocked them.
"I brought it with me. I moved some things yesterday and locked them in the cabin."
Because he was fishing for sea wolf fish some time ago, the hand-thrown net was damaged. When he came back, he bought nylon thread and asked someone to make two more sheets. Knowing that he would be traveling far away in the next two days, he hurriedly asked someone to make two more sheets in the next two days.
.
When you are away from home, it is inconvenient to do anything. There is no harm in being more prepared. If you save money temporarily, it will cause the sky to be unresponsive and the earth and the earth will not work.
"Where's the fishing rod?"
"I brought them with me too. I was afraid I might have forgotten them temporarily. I sent them all over last night and locked them in the cabin."
There were also several guns, which were all taken to the cabin and locked up the night before.
"That's good, that's good!"
"Actually, it won't be of much use if you bring it with you. At most, you can just fish for a while on the way back and forth."
"It's better to take it with you. Don't worry, it's under your nose. Otherwise, someone might use it to chase ducks. There are so many children in the house, and your wife may not be able to keep an eye on them all."
A Guang said in surprise: "You also brought a fishing rod? Did you make it with a bamboo pole?"
"That's not true. This one in my hand is a real fishing rod! The boat will leave later and let my dad show you his skills."
"Real fishing rod? Where did it come from?"
"Earn it."
Ye Yaodong told him the origin of the fishing rod, but he punched him hard.
"What a shame, Mom, you didn't even call me when you went to earn fishing rods? Don't you know that I'm going moldy all the time at home?"
"Damn, you didn't say that. You're not idle all day long. You work non-stop in the fields and help take care of the children."
"Then what's the difference of just one and a half hours?"
"Come on, you still have to pick up the goods in the evening."
"Show me your fishing rod. What does it look like? Is it like the one you saw on that yacht before?"
"That's about it. You can ask my dad to get it for you. After checking that nothing is left behind, I will also check with other ships. If there is no problem, I will set off."
Having too many ships is troublesome. You have to check if the other ships are all right. Then you can set off. If a ship leaves something important behind, you will have to wait for at least half an hour.
He was really afraid of what would happen, so he turned around and asked the people on the left and right, asking them to pass word of mouth to the one next to them. If there were no questions, he would just start the boat.
Who would have thought that a boat might actually have left something important behind, or it might be a big-handed fishing net specializing in fishing for jellyfish, and now I really had to go ashore to get it.
The person who was left behind turned out to be Azheng, and his clothes were all made temporarily during the past two days.
So damn unreliable!
"Let's go first. You can catch up later. There are so many boats, and the distance between the front and back will always be widened. You can always keep up. If you just go one step ahead, you won't go far, and you won't follow them.
Already."
"Okay, okay, I'll run back and run over immediately. It'll be very fast. You guys should drive slower in front."
"Um."
As soon as he set off, he had to worry about other fishing boats, so he couldn't get up even if he wanted to.
After Ye Yaodong's fishing boat moved away from the shore, other fishing boats also started to move.
More than a dozen boats setting off at the same time is a rare spectacle at this time. Generally speaking, there are not that many trawlers in the village. Counting them all, Guangye Yaodong and his family accounted for most of them.
However, compared with the scene on the first day of fishing after the fishing moratorium ends, it still pales in comparison.
The shore was full of villagers seeing each other off. Everyone waved their arms and put them down after a long time. When the fishing boat sailed to the other side of the mountain and no shadow could be seen, the villagers returned in twos and threes.
The boatmen on the ship also randomly found a seat and sat on the ground.
I don’t know how long it will take to reach the place on this trip at sea. If it’s fast, it will take eight or nine hours, if it’s slow, it will take thirteen or four hours. It depends on the wind and current. Anyway, it will definitely take at least evening or even dark to arrive.
.
For most of the day, some people were quite good at looking for entertainment. Ye Yaodong saw that on the fishing boats next to him, some people took out playing cards and started playing.
Some people on other ships also brought them, and those who didn't brought them were beating their chests and regretting it.
Father Ye also took out the fishing rod from the cabin and showed it to A Guang. A Guang stared at it, and he started to use it directly.
"Try it for me, dad..."
"Let go, let go..."
Father Ye quickly slapped his dirty hand several times before slapping it away, "What's the matter with you?"
"Let me have a look and play with it. Don't be so stingy. I'm only half a son-in-law, but I'm not an outsider..."
"What are you playing with? Don't move around if you don't know how. Don't break it. It's very expensive. I'll show you how to use it after I fish a few rods. After I know how to use it, I'll let you play with it a few more times."
"I will use..."
"What will happen? Watch first!"
A Guang touched the back of his hand which was red from being slapped, "Okay then."
The palms of his father-in-law's hands are so strong, just like his father, it hurts when he hits someone.
"Go get a hand-thrown net and cast it out. Get some bait and put it up first. Otherwise, it won't be easy to catch the bait without the bait."
"All right."
Ye Yaodong stood on the bow of the boat and sailed, looking in all directions and listening in all directions. He turned his head from time to time to pay attention to other boats following him, and also saw his father and A Guang fighting for fishing rods.
A man is a boy until he dies!
He shook his head and turned back, concentrating on sailing the boat.
At the beginning of this journey, it was still within the scope of their daily activities, and the sea area was relatively familiar. He drove the boat first, and later his father took over the boat.
Although he thinks he can do it, his father doesn't think he can. And with so many ships following behind him, his father will definitely be even more worried and will definitely do it himself later.
Alas, in fact, it is quite thankless to lead so many people to do this kind of thing, but these people have to be followed anyway. They are all their own people, neighbors, or friends of his father.
However, when the time comes to fish at the destination, you must act separately, otherwise, your mobility will be too poor.
He also didn't want to share the natural ravine he discovered last year. He had already made a lot of money just from that ravine last year.
After the fishing boat sailed out of the village, he took control of the direction and drove to the town first, and then went to the town pier to pick up Chen Jiannian.
Probably by the time he went to the town dock to pick up the people, Azheng's boat had almost caught up with him.
However, when he arrived, he found that Chen Jianian was already waiting on the fishing boat.
"Haha, these two boats belong to my brothers. Knowing that I want to follow you to Zhejiang Province, they also want to follow. I thought your village also has a dozen boats to go with, and two more boats should be okay.
, a few more boats can also take care of you..."
"Okay, then let's go with you, but I'm only responsible for leading the way. I won't care about the rest when we get there. Safety and other things are none of my business."
They are an intermediary, and they have to rely on their help to contact the factory to receive the goods. What can they say? Just bring them with you. Anyway, there are already 15 ships. If there are two more, just two more.
"Hey, okay, I know this. I've already said it. I don't dare to bring too many. I've rejected all the others. Only these two are my own family members. I can't help it..."
"It's okay, then hurry up and follow."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the shore. When their fishing boat docked, a lot of people had gathered. They all looked at them curiously and pointed. It was rare to see more than a dozen boats docking together.
If there are, they will quietly dock at the small pier at night like the previous few nights, or only sand transporters and other cargo will dock at the big pier.
More than a dozen of their boats set out at the same time and moved forward together. They were conspicuous wherever they went. It was better to leave the crowd as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they thought they were also engaged in smuggling and someone reported them and were stopped halfway, then
So depressed.
After the agreement was made, Ye Yaodong's boat took the lead and moved one step ahead. The two boats also merged behind their team, and Azheng's fishing boat also happened to catch up.
On the vast sea, fishing boats moved all the way north along the coastline. A dozen fishing boats were like a huge fleet, working together, forming a spectacular scene.
The sun shines on the sparkling sea, as if countless diamonds are dancing happily.
This scene shocked some large ships and small boats along the coast and offshore. People at sea were all shocked when they saw it. When they saw it from a distance, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing and quickly get out of the way.
That means the Harvest was not there, otherwise it would have been even more spectacular with the Harvest taking the lead.
Father Ye started playing with the fishing rod as soon as the fishing boat sailed out. After Aguang cast a net and got some fresh groceries, he started throwing the rod.
In just half an hour of going to town, he caught four black sea bream, attracting the attention of everyone else on the boat. They all gathered around him and watched him trolling.
Aguang felt itchy as he looked at it. He was urged from time to time, saying again and again, "Dad, are you ready? It's my turn, isn't it?" He almost annoyed Father Ye.
Father Ye was also an old boy. He kept trying to deal with it, asking him to wait or asking him to play cards with others for a while, but he was reluctant to let him go.
Aguang was helpless. If it was in Dongzi's hands, he could still grab it by his neck and play with it for a while. But he still didn't dare to face his father-in-law, so he simply went to play cards with others.
Today is not only an auspicious day, but the weather is also good. The morning sun is warm and warm, the blue sky is cloudless, and the sea is blue against the background. The sea breeze blows across the sea, bringing a cool breath and a faint smell of sea.
.
But by noon, the sun seemed a little bit harsh. On a July day, the sun was as hot as a stove on land, but it was more comfortable on the sea. There was sea water on all sides, which could reduce the heat of the sun, and it was above their heads.
There is also an awning that blocks most of the sunlight.
After most of the day's sailing, the boatmen were all a little lazy. After a simple lunch, they took a nap, half sitting and half leaning anywhere.
Some people may have stayed up all night, thinking about leaving for Zhejiang Province early this morning. Their thoughts are bothering them. After lunch, it is also a good time to take a lunch break.
Ye Yaodong also took shifts with his father. After driving for more than 4 hours, they were almost at the edge of their city. Next, they had to cross another city to reach the Zhejiang-Fujian Station.
When we arrived at Zhejiang-Fujian Station, we were close to our destination.
His father was no longer worried and was not greedy for fishing, so he took over his boating job directly after lunch.
Ye Yaodong was also happy and relaxed.
He looked at the fishing boats beside him and behind him. They were all close to each other and followed closely behind them.
The horsepower of his fishing boat is not at its maximum. After all, there are so many boats behind him, and he has to take care of other fishing boats with smaller horsepower.
But when the boat is on its way, the horsepower cannot be as low as that of normal trawling operations.
At 3 to 5 nautical miles per hour, it would probably take a day or two to get there.
Their current speed, based on smooth winds today, is approximately 10 to 14 nautical miles per hour. If there are no emergencies, they will probably arrive in the evening.
After lying on the side of the boat and watching for a while, he planned to pick up the fishing rod that his father had just put down. Unexpectedly, A Guang had already taken advantage of the situation and started fishing.
Chapter completed!
