Chapter 1082: Taking A-Guang to Sea

When Ye Yaodong was thinking, others thought he was unhappy, and they all turned their heads to guarantee each other, swearing, not allowed to say it out.

After all, he is the most promising among their brothers now, and all the people in the village add up to not as capable as him, and he is also famous in the ten miles and eight villages.

Everyone was also a bit worried that he was unhappy, and this path of catching jellyfish was led by him.

Wealth is more, social status is naturally higher, and everyone will consciously look at his face.

After finding that his face was much better, everyone was relieved.

Although many people followed last year, they all followed him. Basically, they were all people he knew well. No one had ever followed with small wooden boats. If you really want to hug a big thigh, of course, it is more reliable to hug Dongzi's.

However, Dongzi has too many boats. It is not easy to hug. His two brothers are just on the edge, which is just right.

"Don't worry Dongzi, in order to earn more money, we can't talk everywhere."

"We also told the wives at home."

"Whether you can get rich depends on this wave..."

"I heard that the boats that followed last year earned at least 10,000 yuan households, earning a full pot. Our boats can't compare to yours, but earning 1/3 should be fine, right?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all followed suit.

"Should be fine..."

"Don't expect to earn as much as everyone last year, we are satisfied with earning 1/3..."

Ye Yaodong chuckled twice. "Don't be too optimistic. Last year and the year before, it was because there were few boats going. I discovered that place, and only our boats knew about it. Everyone divided it, and everyone earned a full pot."

"After coming back, it spread from ten to ten, ten to a hundred. There will be more boats this year. Even your small wooden boats have gone, not to mention there are fishing boats around the town. When the time comes, there will only be more."

"Earning money this year is not as simple as last year. Plus, there are locals. Last year, we guarded strictly, and fortunately, it didn't leak. Maybe it was because we had few boats and many people, and caught it fast. This year, they will gain experience, and it is not guaranteed that they will not mix in a foot."

"Don't say earning 1/3 of last year, you should be lucky to earn 1/4, so if you go, you also have to be prepared psychologically, make bad plans, don't think so beautifully, too many monks and too little porridge."

"There is one more point, you are following the trawlers. When you come back, you must also come back with the fishing boats. However, to be honest, the mobility of your small wooden boats will be stronger. You can catch them one by one, not wasting oil."

"If the goods in the gully are finished, it is more suitable for your small wooden boats to fish around the coast, looking for them while rowing, which is better than putting nets at home. If it is around the coast, it is more convenient to row directly to the pier."

Everyone originally frowned when listening, and finally heard this, they also relaxed, feeling that it made sense.

No matter what, it is better than putting fishing nets at home. Isn't it said that locals rowing a small wooden boat can earn dozens a day?

This is already better than at home.

"Good, good, good, anyway, it is better than at home, we don't think so much."

"Right, better than at home, how can we earn a little more, anyway, it is the flood season, there is no flood season that doesn't earn money."

"Then really can't talk everywhere anymore, when the time comes, more people, everyone runs for nothing, that is really going to cry."

"Definitely won't."

Ye Yaodong saw that he had walked to the foot of the mountain, so he didn't talk nonsense.

"You figure it out yourself, discuss it yourself, don't shout everywhere, knowing more people will only damage everyone's interests."

"Won't, won't..."

Everyone guaranteed again.

Looking at the village entrance, after entering the village, they didn't talk about this, and the directions they lived were different. Those who were on the same road walked a section together, and those who were different went directly back to their homes.

Ye Fu carried the burden, took his own group of children and grandchildren to walk a section with everyone, then walked to the fork in the road by the sea, and then said as he walked.

"Wash the things brought back later, stew them and eat them at noon. There are chickens, ducks, fish, and pig heads. Just add a few vegetables and it will be enough to make a table."

Ye Yaodong also added: "When I brought it back in the middle of the night, there was also a pile of pig offal. Stew the pig stomach with chicken, stir-fry the large intestine with salted vegetables, and stir-fry a bowl of pig waist."

"That's enough."

Ye eldest sister-in-law said happily: "Then cook at my house, put the table out and set it at the main door at noon to eat. Anyway, there is a sunshade on the top, the sun can't shine and it won't be hot."

"Fine, we all go to help."

It is rare to set a table to eat together, everyone is enthusiastic, the three sisters-in-law walk together to discuss how to cook, and the three brothers also walk together.

"Dongzi, taking a fishing boat to catch jellyfish..."

"No need to pull this, having ideas is also human nature. However, I have to say, if you follow behind our trawlers to fish, returning to the city to deliver goods is also a problem. Those wooden boats row too slowly, wasting time, so you have to discuss this well, remind you."

The two brothers were stunned. They had never thought about this problem, only thinking about taking it over, and then drawing a sum from it. Anyway, A-Guang has a bottom list there, and the account can't be wrong.

Looking at it this way, Dongzi's own boat is more trouble-saving, no need to think about how to distribute, just give wages. They still have to discuss it now. Drawing two percent is not enough to cover the oil money for cross-province round trips, and also have to cover daily round-trip sales, then it is not cost-effective.

Plus, after chatting on the mountain just now, I don't know how much I can earn.

Ye Yaopeng entangled. "Let's discuss it later."

"Anyway, you two must continue to cooperate, just like last year. When the time comes, one boat fishes, one boat goes to the city to sell goods, and the money earned is divided equally."

Ye Yaohua nodded. "Yeah, we discussed it before, still the same, the boats brought over, each boat draws two percent and also takes it to the total income to divide."

"You have a number in your heart."

The old lady moved a stool and sat at the door waiting for them to return, chatting with the neighbor old lady who came to visit her grandson.

Seeing the children run back first, she also knew it was over, just didn't see the adults, she still looked forward to it, and only smiled when she saw people.

"Smooth? Re-buried? I said I would follow up the mountain, you insisted not to. People are already ancient, what am I sad about? People now envy my good life."

"Yeah, isn't it envying your good life? The old man left early, no need to serve, and there are filial grandchildren."

"Hehehe..."

Ye Fu looked at the old lady who was talking, when is it a good thing for a man in the family to die?

"The old man at home, besides pooping, farting, and snoring, has no hope at all, still has to serve food and drink, unlike you who have such a good life, have a granddaughter-in-law to serve, just short of wearing gold and silver."

Ye Fu couldn't help but speak out, "What are you old ladies talking about all day?"

"Isn't it right? Don't they often say old and immortal, old and immortal? Isn't my life good? The old man is gone early, and there are several filial grandchildren. I am now living a life of enjoyment."

Ye Fu gave the old lady a white look, and didn't care about her, first carried the burden to the door, and let them clean up these things first.

"All come over to clean up, don't be led bad by the old one."

The three sisters-in-law all smiled, and then hurriedly rolled up their sleeves to work. It is already noon, and it will take an hour or so to clean up and cook these things, and everyone is hungry.

"You brothers hurry up and move the tables in the house and support them, pick the vegetables in the fields and help pick them, it will be fast when cooked, going up and down the mountain, the stomach has long been hungry."

The children at home also hurriedly followed to be busy, all went to help pick vegetables.

The old lady looked here and there, feeling that she couldn't insert her hands, the circle of children had the most people, and she couldn't use her, so she continued to sit at the door and chat with other old ladies.

There are women for cooking, children for picking and washing vegetables, Ye Yaodong had nothing to do after moving the table, so he took over the work of watching the children, took Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, one in each hand, and walked home.

At this noon, the sun outside is also big, not suitable for them to play, going home to watch TV is very good.

Ye Fu also followed him into the house, and as soon as he entered, he said: "Can't blame your eldest brother and second brother for looking for boats, they also want to earn more money..."

"Fine, don't pull this, it's over if it's discussed, I didn't say anything, you still have no end."

"Isn't this afraid you are unhappy?"

Ye Yaodong gave him a look, gave him a look, let him understand it himself.

"There is not much rice at home. It should be possible to go to sea at night. When the sun is about to set in the evening, I will push two bags to the rice mill to shell. You also go to other villages to see if there is any rice to buy, and buy a few bags to put at home."

"Got it, by the way, go and call others to prepare to go to sea at night, haven't gone for more than a week."

Ye Yaodong's eyes were fixed on the TV, but his thoughts had drifted to other places again.

He thought about going to Lin Ji to ask about the candidate for kelp farming at night. After all, if he goes to sea at night, he will be gone for several days, which has to do with his future money-making plan.

The night before last, he called two subordinates to his house to move the diving equipment onto the boat, and by the way asked him about the kelp farming in his subordinate's village.

He only said that he had already asked, and also confirmed that it was successfully raised last year, but the yield was low and the money earned was not much. Most people turned around and followed to earn quick money this year, and those who continued to follow collective planting were basically old people.

People who have earned quick money and big money, how can they still look at what farming earns? Ambition has been raised.

How fast does that quick money and big money come? Farming is only the one or two months of harvest throughout the year.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

But for most people in their village who can't earn money, the farming must also be enough to satisfy everyone, not to mention the market will get better and better.

As long as you persist, you will definitely be improved from generation to generation, and accumulation is also stable.

He asked that night, what he wanted was old people, who could calm down to do things. He was not at ease with young people, there were too many temptations, their temperament was not fixed, and they did things carelessly.

Lin Ji also agreed in one breath at that time, only saying that he had asked people to ask, and it was uncertain when he could ask, so wait two days first.

Yesterday, today, it was almost two days, go and ask at night to see.

If they are all found, he can let go and not manage, let them study with the village committee.

Ye Fu saw that he was absent-minded, so he didn't speak again, just took out his water pipe, held it for a whole morning, and took two puffs first to refresh himself.

The men in the family were all waiting to eat. When the women called, everyone stood up and went to the door to eat ready-made ones.

For a while, I haven't eaten so well. The three families ate with open stomachs. More than a dozen bowls of dishes were not left, especially the three half-grown boys, eating the father poor, even the chicken soup and duck soup were not left, and several meat dishes were gnawed to the bones.

Their adults also ate with satisfaction. With this sacrifice as a reason, they ate a good meal.

After they finished eating, it was 2 o'clock. The men still patted their butts and stood up, going to enjoy the cool air, and the women were cleaning up the mess there.

Ye Yaodong also hugged the two little babies and took a nap. When he woke up, the sun was about to set, just in time to do business.

Ye Fu also drank a few cups at noon, didn't dare to drink too much, and went home to sleep after the meal. Until Ye Yaodong came over to call him to open the boat to the town to refuel and add ice, he hurriedly climbed up to do preparatory work.

Because it was not so convenient at night, they were all preparing in advance during the day, to avoid temporary changes.

When the sun set, they finished and came back, and pushed the flatbed cart, moving the prepared materials to the boat in advance.

Uncle Pei's side returned after refueling and adding ice to the fishing boat, and was also busy transporting materials prepared for A-Guang.

Ye Yaodong thought about going to bed early at night, and after dinner, as soon as it was dark, he went to Lin Ji's house after finishing his work.

This guy didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave this trip, and could stay at home for two or three days.

When he went, he happened to see Lin Ji holding a stick in his hand, and his two sons stood in front of him like quails with snot and tears, but they didn't dare to cry out, just kept shrugging their shoulders.

"I seem to have become a savior?"

Lin Ji looked at him, and pointed to the corner with a stick. "Go stand over there."

His two sons honestly lowered their heads and stood facing the wall, and their movements looked quite skilled.

"This facing the wall standing is quite good, saving from looking around when standing there, next time I will arrange it for my son."

"You came to ask about the person who farms kelp?"

"Yeah, I'm going to sea in a bit, thinking about coming over to take a look and ask before going to sea."

"The person has already been asked, and will be brought over in a few days. I will see if I am at home. If I am not at home, I will let my wife take it to the village committee. When I received the call in the afternoon, I mentioned it to the village committee by the way."

"Surprised them?"

Ye Yaodong was relieved. It would be great to have someone found, which could save a lot of detours.

It doesn't matter if the yield is low. It is a good thing to succeed at the beginning. If the payment can be seen, it is worth continuing.

"Almost, I said it was your idea, the person you asked me to find, whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me."

"Good, good, good, wait until I come back from sea, when the time comes, see if the person has arrived, and I will ask a few questions to understand."

"Yeah, nothing else?"

Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise. "You seem to be very unwelcoming to me?"

Lin Ji raised his eyelids while sitting there. "Why should I welcome you? You don't have any good things to find me anyway, all are asking for things."

He was stunned, thought about it, and it seemed to be the case.

"No, I also let you earn money, and I also have money."

Those fish cans alone made him earn a lot, how can it be said that he only asks for things and has no good things? This is already a good thing.

"But you have a lot of things."

"Hehe, hehe, there is coming and going. When are you leaving this trip?"

"Don't know, stay for a few more days, rest."

Ye Yaodong was about to speak, but saw two black-gray puppies circling him at his feet, small in size, looking quite cute, and not looking like ordinary local dogs.

"Are these two little wolf dogs you brought back?"

"Yeah, the size is still quite small now, wait for two months..."

"Ah... go... don't bite, don't bite... my shoes..."

The two dogs circled his feet, and then targeted the flip-flops on his feet, opening their mouths and biting.

His instep was licked wet by the wet tongue, and he lifted his feet to dodge, but was pulled even more fiercely by them.

If he didn't lift his feet to dodge, these two little milk dogs probably couldn't pull it. As soon as this foot was lifted, the two had strength and directly bit the flip-flops away, making him only stand on one foot in place.

"My shoes... these were just bought... you pay for my shoes..."

"You just take them out of the dog kennel yourself. It's good that they didn't go directly to bite your toes."

The two little wolf dogs bit the flip-flops and went directly to their dog kennel. Lin Ji, who originally had no expression, was now full of smiles.

"It's because I dodged in time, only bitten by them. These two dogs of yours are really strong. As expected of wolf dogs, I even curled my toes to dodge and was still pulled away."

Ye Yaodong jumped to the front of the dog kennel on one foot, but found that the two dogs were biting his slippers, and there were already several tooth marks on the slippers, and the exposed sharp canine teeth looked a bit difficult to mess with.

His family's local dogs would bark wildly at strangers. These two, although they were little milk dogs, were more fierce wolf dogs.

He turned to look at Lin Ji, but looked at the two children standing facing the wall, who had stopped sobbing, and were constantly peeking at him.

"Let your two sons help me take the slippers out, I'm afraid of being bitten, when the time comes, I will ask you to pay."

Lin Ji glared at the two sons who were already eager to try. "All stand well."

After shouting, he walked towards the dog kennel.

"You are still raising dogs, and still want me to take it for you."

"These two of yours obviously bite people, of course, you have to ask someone familiar to take it."

Lin Ji just pushed one dog away, and the other dog bit the slippers and didn't let go. Taking turns pushing away, there was always another one coming up to bite the slippers. When he hard-pulled the slippers out of the dog's mouth, there were already tooth marks on them.

And the two dogs chased out of the dog kennel, holding his legs and jumping up and down.

He couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "What size do you wear, I will pay you two pairs in two days."

"44!"

When Ye Yaodong lowered his head to put on slippers, he found that Lin Ji's slippers were also tooth marks. At this time, the two dogs were also circling his feet and biting the human-shaped strap on them.

"These two dogs of yours like slippers very much, from Guangdong Province?"

Lin Ji was confused, what does slippers have to do with Guangdong Province?

Ye Yaodong changed the subject: "Wait for a few months to grow up and be in heat, send my dog over to breed."

"Whatever you want."

Seeing the two dogs coming to him again, circling his feet, he immediately dodged and walked out.

"Nothing else, I'm leaving, these two dogs of yours are a bit expensive for shoes."

Want to sleep early at night, nothing else, he didn't stay here either.

"Yeah." 【1082-151

When Ye Yaodong was walking out, both dogs followed behind him, running and barking. It wasn't until Lin Ji shouted once that the two turned back, looking back with every step.

At this moment, he was also glad that his dogs didn't really chew on slippers, and their shoes were basically worn into the rooms, so the dogs couldn't snatch them even if they wanted to. At most, he would occasionally find a few worn-out shoes in their doghouse that they had dragged back from who knows where.

When he was walking back, he also stopped by his old home, wanting to see if his father's rice had all been harvested and if the people had all been called.

As a result, when he went over, his father had already closed the doors and windows tightly. Only the light in his room was still on, which could be seen through the gaps in the newspaper pasted on the window.

He knocked on the window, but his father's nervous and vigilant voice came from inside.

"Who is it? Knocking on the window in the middle of the night? Are you a person or a ghost?"

That was a really dirty curse!

"You're cursing your son!"

"Dongzi? What are you doing? Not using the door, deliberately knocking on the window. People scaring people, it's scary! Not sleeping in the middle of the night and wandering around, do you still want to get up at night?"

"You're the one accusing me first. You haven't even slept yourself, and you don't know what you're doing with the light on. You start cursing as soon as you open your mouth. Closing the windows in the middle of summer, are you feeling guilty like a thief?"

"Nonsense, if you have something to say, use the front door."

"Nothing, just asking you..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard his father open the door and go out, so he had to walk to the front door.

Ye's father was shirtless, wearing a pair of loose boxer shorts. As soon as he let him in, he closed the door again.

"What do you have that's so shameful that you close the door so quickly?"

"You're the one who's shameful. I was about to sleep, and you knocked on the window to scare me. What's the matter, it's so late?"

"It's not even 8 o'clock yet. Are you holding your precious treasure, so you were startled?"

Ye's father widened his eyes and hurriedly kept shushing.

"Quiet down."

"I knew it, I guessed it."

Ye's father laughed and led him into the room, then fumbled inside the pillowcase for a long time, pulling out a piece of gold full of tooth marks to show him.

Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes. He said so, yesterday he shook the quilt and didn't find it, felt under the pillow and didn't find it. It turned out it was hidden in the pillowcase, really cunning.

"Did you also hide it here when Mom was at home?"

"That's impossible. I only hide it in the pillow when I sleep, and change the hiding place after I wake up. When your mother is at home, it has to be hidden more secretly. There isn't a corner in the house she isn't familiar with; she's more familiar with it than a mouse."

"Alright, you've bitten this into a fried dough stick. Dad, are you grinding your teeth?"

"I'm worried about it being swapped by someone. Every day I take it out, I have to bite it to see if it's real."

Ye Yaodong shook his head in disgust, "Why don't you just move to my place for this period? Hiding things at my place is safer. There's someone at my house 24 hours a day. If you go out to sea, there's no one watching at home. Can you be at ease with the coffin money you and Mom hid without anyone watching?"

"I don't know where your mother hid it. She said that even if a mouse came to dig a hole, it wouldn't find it, so she told me not to worry. I only have this one piece of gold, and I'll hide it at night too. Anyway, the doors and windows are locked, and your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have to come over to feed the pigs during the day, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Alright, then you decide. Are things handled for the night, and are the people called?"

"It was all settled long ago."

"Alright, then I'm going back. Remember to lock the doors and windows yourself."

"Go, go, sleep early. The tide won't rise until three or four o'clock tonight, so the boats can't go out. You don't need to get up so early. I told the others to set off at 4 o'clock too."

"Good, got it."

Going home to sleep still required some brewing time. Calculated, it wasn't much different from his usual sleeping time, just that he had to get up a bit earlier. Calculated, his sleep tonight was considered sufficient.

So when he went home, he still accompanied the children to play for a while as usual, and then went to the spare room to sleep.

It's just that he woke up frequently all night to check his watch. He hadn't been out to sea for too many days. Once he thought about going out to sea at night, his spirit was tense, and he kept waking up, afraid of missing the time.

However, when he got up at the time, he was still full of energy. In fact, it should be because of his excitement, so he didn't look tired, but rather radiant.

Many fishing boats also went out to sea tonight. After the waves calmed down, everyone worked actively, having rested for too many days.

Fishing boats can only go out when the tide rises, so every time they go out to sea, it's basically when there are the most people.

Fortunately, he didn't need to refuel at the pier. He just greeted a couple of people, didn't linger, and went straight to the boat to leave.

This trip, he and his father were each driving a boat. Uncle Pei didn't come along, but he had already greeted the boat workers in advance. Anyway, they were all from the same village, and everyone was very familiar with each other.

Ye's father went directly onto the Fengshou boat and took the lead in driving in front, while he drove the Dongsheng boat and followed behind.

They had to drive to the city pier first to pick up Aguang. Fortunately, it was on the way. The depth of the near-shore sea area was relatively shallow and not suitable for casting nets, so they just drove to the city with full force.

After driving for five or six hours and picking up the person, they drove to the outer sea area.

Aguang had already been waiting there in advance. It was already past 9 o'clock in the morning when they arrived, so they didn't stay long, at most greeted each other, didn't talk much nonsense, and the time delayed was a bit long.

After all, usually they drive directly from the village to the outer sea, instead of driving along the near-shore to the city. Although it's considered on the way, there is still a gap between the inside and outside of the sea area.

After picking up Aguang, Ye's father didn't return to the Dongsheng boat and continued to stay on the Fengshou boat, driving the boat with Aguang.

Compared to his going out to sea for most of the year this year, Aguang's number of times going out to sea was less. Basically, it could be considered that he didn't go out to sea much, only went a few times, and his experience was shallow, so Ye's father was not at ease and stayed on the Fengshou boat.

And he also found the boat worker Chen Laoqi and discussed with him that the two would take turns taking over. When they just drove out of the village, he also called the person to the cockpit and instructed him to drive the boat for a while.

Chen Laoqi was the one who had been teaming up and taking turns with Chen Shi before.

It wasn't that he didn't want to teach Chen Shi, but Chen Shi was too green and stuttered. When something happened, he couldn't say a word after calling for a long time.

And the others were experienced old fishermen. Their sense of direction on the sea was still very good, and there were compass needles to look at. A little instruction on the instruments made it very easy to get started.

It's also that these instruments are not sophisticated now, they are all just simplified versions, very simple, fool-proof operation, not complicated at all.

Along the way, he only watched from the side and never made a mistake. As long as he watched when casting the net, after letting the net down for a day, there would probably be no problem.

And the two fishing boats were fishing in the same sea area, looking after each other, so they weren't afraid of getting lost or having any situation. If there was really something temporary, they could still connect and ask his father a couple of questions.

After the fishing boats drove far enough, the two boats slowed down and started casting nets one after another.

Chen Laoqi touched the steering wheel, unable to put it down, "I didn't expect that I could still drive such a big and good boat in this life, hahaha, although it has nothing to do with me, at least I drove it."

"Haha, Uncle's age is not very old. After earning for a few years to subsidize your son, let your son buy one, and then you can drive it yourself."

"Sigh, forget it, so many sons, it's unfair to divide it to anyone."

"Whichever son is more filial, you secretly subsidize him. Anyway, after you get old and can't work, the most filial one will definitely be the one who takes care of you the most."

"That's true, it's just that I'm afraid that if they are filial now, they will be annoying when I get old."

"That's not necessarily true. Whether it's really filial or fake filial, it can still be distinguished."

"Hehe, wait until the time comes to see if there is a chance. I don't expect to be as successful as you. If I can have half of yours, I can wake up laughing in my dreams, hehehe. Still, your father has a good life, three sons are each capable, and all of them are filial."

"After having money, being filial will also become very simple."

"That makes sense."

"Wait a moment to see how your first net harvest is, Uncle. After you get familiar with it, we can take turns at night."

Chen Laoqi's old face bloomed with a smile, "Then let's see what we can catch, whether there are many goods. If there aren't many, don't blame my hands for being smelly."

"No, no, thank you for helping to drive the boat. I have to give you a raise for this trip."

"Haha, really? Then I've earned it."
