Chapter 1140: The truth?
At night, just around two in the morning, Ye Yaodong automatically opened his eyes and woke up.
He hadn't woken up this early for a while, but as long as he had something on his mind, he could immediately climb up. Plus, he had made up for sleep during the day, so he was full of energy at night.
He got up rustlingly to put on clothes. Lin Xiuqing mumbled a few words of exhortation and continued to sleep.
There were already quite a few flashlight beams outside the pier, swaying light halos. When he went out, Ah Guang's side hadn't arrived yet, but they were already moving things.
He also followed to move things, and then followed the small boat to the big boat.
After preparing and getting ready, the fishing boats on the shore were almost gone before the Fengshou moved. Ye Yaodong and Ah Guang stood on the deck chatting and blowing the wind.
Ye Yaodong actually felt that Ah Guang had too many things to do, and even went to the provincial capital to ask, which was so troublesome. In this era when transportation was inconvenient, not to mention going to the provincial capital, everyone felt that going to the county town was too far.
If they liked each other, they would confirm it directly, let people explain the family background, and submit an application report. Originally, the ancestors of the soldiers had to be reviewed. His action was completely superfluous.
"Did Captain Chen say when the lighthouse would be finished?"
"I don't know. I wasn't at home at the time. It was just that my father heard from Aunt Ma that there was a play, and Yingqiu would also be satisfied, so he thought about asking about the family situation, and then deciding, to avoid finding out that the family situation was complicated after marriage."
"That doesn't matter much. He's a soldier anyway, and not at home. No matter how complicated the family situation is, he doesn't have to face it."
"Still have to go take a look, otherwise I don't even know where the home is."
"Aren't you afraid that you'll run for a trip, and then when you come back, people don't have this idea and reject you directly? Won't you have made a wasted trip?"
"Aunt Ma said there's a play, and my father also thinks it's okay, so he wants me to take a look. If they reject it directly, then forget it. It's just right to give up and find another one nearby, just make do. Otherwise, my father is always wavering now, and my sister can't afford to drag it out."
Since they wanted to be fine, he didn't say anything.
He thought, it was probably because they had eaten too much these days, recently earned a sum of money, and were too idle, so they were idle anyway, so they ran for this trip.
So people still shouldn't eat too much.
He followed the trend anyway, and then asked about the things he cared about.
"I heard people say that the relative who appeared at your pier before is now saying that you should go back to worship the ancestors. When?"
"Two months later. This trip with you is also thinking about asking and seeing, it's better to talk face-to-face, it's hard to explain clearly over the phone."
"Oh, then if you have other things, I'll go ask myself, and we'll meet at the pier."
"We'll see when the time comes, let's talk after going ashore."
Ah Guang nodded, "Then go back to the cabin and lie down for a while. My father is driving the boat, his bed is just empty for you to lie on. It will be noon by the time we reach the shore, the time is still very long."
"Okay."
Other boat workers had already returned to the cabin to lie down after finishing their work. The two of them also went in together. The long night was still very early.
Ye Yaodong didn't have so many problems, and it didn't matter if other people's messy beds were messy. Men at sea just need a place to lie down.
The noise of the machine was constant, and the fishing boat kept swaying. People got up to work, he kept lying down, just half-asleep and half-awake, and only climbed up when he was completely awake to eat. After eating, people worked, he still lay back.
It wasn't until they were almost at the provincial capital pier that Ah Guang ran to call him, and he hurriedly followed.
Other boat workers were still lying there. This journey was just sailing and rushing, and didn't stop to fish.
After they got off the boat and went up to the pier, the Fengshou left immediately.
Ye Yaodong stretched, twisted his neck, "Letting the Fengshou send us over directly, it consumed a lot of oil on the way. In the past, it would be almost time to cast the net when the sky was bright, but now it's until noon. By the time it sails out again, it's estimated that it will be mid-afternoon to cast the net, wasting several nets."
"No way, who let taking the car be inconvenient? It's estimated that it will take a day to transfer cars back and forth, it's too far."
"It's indeed too far, taking the car is too tossing, the traffic roads are all too poor."
Ah Guang shrugged, and the two walked to the pier while talking.
The pier in the provincial capital was bustling with noise even at noon. Boats were docking intermittently all day long, people were coming and going on the shore, and the sound of hawking was constant.
Ye Yaodong looked around, just in time to meet the eyes of Ye Yaohai who was sitting there eating melon seeds. After the other party looked at him in surprise, he immediately stood up and walked towards him.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong!"
"Old brother enjoying the cool?"
"Hey, idle is idle. What cargo today, just happen to save me. I haven't opened for a long time since you weren't here. Why haven't you docked at the provincial capital for so long?"
"I ran to Zhejiang Province this month, and just after I came back, I encountered a typhoon, and then I haven't gone out to sea until now. Today is also to accompany my brother-in-law, just thinking about chatting with you by the way."
"That's good, let's go, let's talk while walking, and tell you about the ancestral hall by the way." Ye Yaohai hooked his shoulder and pulled him directly to his small shed.
Ye Yaodong's footsteps stopped there, "Wait, I still have to accompany my brother-in-law to do things."
"What things? Need help? I still have a few brothers who can help."
"Going to ask about someone." Ye Yaodong looked at Ah Guang.
Ah Guang told him about the town and village he was going to, saying he was going to ask about someone.
"Isn't this a town near our hometown? I don't know the village, but I know the town. If you want to go, you can't make a round trip by bus now. There are only those going to the town, not those going to the village."
"Can I take a tractor? Ask a tractor to take me there, then wait there, and then send me back when the time comes."
Ye Yaohai pondered for a moment, "If you believe me, I'll call a brother to drive a tractor to send you there, and then bring you back when the time comes."
Ah Guang looked at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong was also very hesitant, "What do you think?"
Ah Guang looked at Ye Yaohai and smiled, "You are Dongzi's brother of the same clan and tribe. Dongzi also said that he had collected goods for you many times, and helped a lot, which saved a lot of trouble. Since the old brother can help, and can save me some trouble, then I'll trouble you."
"Easy to say, anyway, there is no work to do. Several brothers are idle, everyone is not an outsider, I will let a brother run a trip with you. We are also familiar with that road, saving you from calling a tractor casually, and having to ask all the way, delaying time."
Ah Guang felt that it also made sense. With someone who knew the way, there was no need to be blind and delay time.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"Go, go back inside. Then let Dongzi stay to talk, I'll let a brother accompany you to go, and show you the way."
Ye Yaodong was hooked forward by him, listening to him calling him Dongzi very smoothly, and only had a smile on his face.
He also sat at the door of the small acquisition point, watching Ye Yaohai call someone over to instruct, and then a tractor was driven over shortly after.
"Then Dongzi, you stay here and talk to the old brother. Since I already have someone who can show the way here, I'll go by myself."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Then be careful, come back early."
Ye Yaohai also exhorted the brother who showed the way to take good care of people, and they set off immediately.
"Go get some wine and dishes, we'll chat while enjoying the cool at the door, and wait for your brother-in-law to come back by the way."
"Drinking during the day?"
"What day or night to pick for drinking and reminiscing? You can do it anytime, anywhere when you are happy."
After others heard what he said, they ran to prepare immediately, and Ye Yaodong didn't say anything.
Ye Yaohai dug into his pocket and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for him, "Eat melon seeds first."
"Old brother's life is also quite leisurely, others are sweating profusely under the sun, and you are sitting at the door leisurely eating melon seeds."
"No way, business is not easy to do, can only open occasionally, relying on boats of outsiders like you."
"What did old brother do originally?"
"Me originally? What I did originally was very complicated."
"Smuggling?"
Ye Yaohai glared at him, "Nonsense, why are you so direct? Opening your mouth and coming, scared me."
"Ah, I also feel that everyone is not an outsider, so I asked directly. Isn't it very common to do this now? There are smugglers everywhere, all open cards."
Ye Yaodong laughed, anyway, it wasn't him smuggling, what was hard for him to ask directly?
"That's not it, don't guess blindly."
"Hey, if you have done this, I can still ask you about something."
"What thing?"
"A kind of filling machine, which can fill liquid into a plastic bag, and then can be automatically sealed without leaking. Don't know if there is a fully automatic one, semi-automatic is also fine. Heard it's imported, introduced from abroad, not produced domestically. Do you know this thing?"
"Produced abroad? Which country?"
"Don't know which country, I haven't seen it either, just heard people talk about it."
"I'll ask for you later."
"Old brother really has a way?"
Ye Yaohai turned his head to look at him, "Don't think wildly, I'm not doing that. I'll ask the overseas Chinese in my hometown later, ask them if they can know, they have people from every country."
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Are they all people of the same clan and tribe? Haven't left yet?"
"Right, returned to donate money to repair the ancestral hall, repair the Mazu temple, repair the road, and set up a factory for the hometown village. Singing big plays for 7 days, those few days were very lively. And now governments everywhere are trying to keep them. Now they have also arrived in the provincial capital, it is estimated that they are about to leave. I will ask you in these two days."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Really strong, these overseas Chinese are really rich, specially returned to build their hometown."
"Also bitter before, eight mountains, one water, one field, couldn't find a way out, so could only go abroad."
"Rejected visa in the morning, worshipped Mazu at noon, boarded the boat at night, right? Hahahaha..."
Ye Yaodong was originally just joking. This is a joke spread on the Internet decades later: Fujian people are visa-free globally.
Just when he said it and laughed, Ye Yaohai's surprised expression instantly pretended to be expressionless again. He suddenly understood something.
Damn?
Damn?
The truth?
Snakehead?
He just said it casually, and he guessed it right?
Ye Yaohai looked at Ye Yaodong's shocked expression and knew that he seemed to have revealed the secret. He laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, why are you so surprised? Everyone is of the same clan and tribe, asking is nothing?"
"Old brother, you are really something!" ===== CHAPTER 1141 =====
