Chapter 1141: Life winner

"What something or not, I just know a lot of people, and it just happens that all the fellow villagers have gone abroad," Ye Yaohai said casually, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Yaodong looked at his pretentious expression and didn't ask any more questions.

A snakehead is not someone to be trifled with.

"Snakehead" is relative to the term "human snake." "Human snake" specifically refers to people who smuggle abroad.

They dare not take normal channels, dare not walk on the road, dare not face people, only dare to walk along rugged mountain roads, or borrow the dark night, or curl up in the cargo hold of a freighter, hence they are called human snakes.

A snakehead is the guide for these people, generally those who take people who smuggle out of the country and make money from it. These people generally do not directly buy and sell people, but only charge smuggling fees.

However, there are also some big snakeheads who also engage in human trafficking. They will use the excuses of going abroad, applying for passports, and handling foreign identities to carry out fraudulent activities, not smuggling people to their destination, and some will even kill for money halfway.

This is much more powerful than a smuggler.

Smugglers only target goods, while snakeheads target people.

It's just that I don't know what role he plays in their team.

No wonder those who received goods at the pier were deeply afraid of him, fearing him very much, and could do nothing even if he swayed back and forth and caused damage.

And he ran to this pier to squat and receive goods, probably also role-playing. His main business is estimated to be meeting and arranging smuggling here, and his side business of receiving goods is used to cover up?

Ye Yaodong was also confused, but smuggling was definitely not directly out of this pier.

He sighed in his heart: Oh my, it turned out to be a snakehead, smuggling people out. It made him guess what he was doing before, and he thought he was a smuggler like Lin Ji.

It turned out to be a higher level. Others bring goods in, they smuggle people out.

It's really too powerful. It has long been known that smuggling in this province is famous, and it has even formed numerous industrial chains locally. Today, he really encountered people like snakeheads.

So it indirectly caused ordinary Fujian people to be specially concerned when applying for foreign visas, and the rejection rate is also relatively high.

And after being rejected, those who are not reconciled often can only choose to walk the line, so they fall into a vicious circle.

However, laugh at the joke, not the person. Fujian people's choice to smuggle also reveals a bit of helpless sadness more or less.

Because of the poor geographical location, Fujian has always had more poor mountains and bad waters, and natural resources are limited.

The so-called "eight mountains, one water, one field," local development opportunities are very few, so Fujian people are forced to go abroad to make a living. You must know that smuggling is a very dangerous thing, not as easy as many people say like traveling.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Ah Guang went with them, wouldn't he be sold directly and unable to come back?

"Damn..."

"Hmm?"

Ye Yaodong just wanted to curse, but seeing him look over suspiciously, he immediately stopped.

Thought wrong. Even if a big snakehead buys and sells people, he won't do it so blatantly, only secretly. In broad daylight, and in front of everyone, Ah Guang followed his people, so he must be brought back safely. There is no need to think so much.

Moreover, this Ye Yaohai doesn't look like a big snakehead.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, just sighing why my family doesn't have relatives who are overseas Chinese. If they returned home in glory, wouldn't I have directly ascended to heaven?"

Saying that, he also pretended to regret and patted his thigh, "Hey, why did my grandfather escape to that poor seaside, it would be better to go abroad with them, wouldn't I also become an overseas Chinese?"

He had a look of feigned regret, which made everyone happy.

"If your grandfather also went abroad to work, then there would probably be no you."

"That's not necessarily true, maybe I look more handsome than now, still a famous second generation, fascinated foreign mares of all countries, left countless sparks, and dominated foreign countries in the future."

In Europe, there is a country, a place where foreigners are known as descendants of dragons, specializing in Chinese festivals, held exceptionally grandly, more festive than domestic ones.

That is the human race left by the ancestors who came to Europe hundreds of years ago!

Ye Yaohai looked at him with a look of a fool, and could only understand half of what he heard, "You'd better catch your fish, maybe you can step across all countries by catching fish."

"You have no sense of humor."

"Come, come, come, the wine is here, no side dishes, just eat peanuts and melon seeds."

"Old brother, what did those overseas Chinese return to invest in? Specially building their hometown?"

"Right, some have been out for decades, just happened to open the country in these few years, welcome overseas Chinese to return to build their hometown, many people want to come back to take a look, and contribute to their hometown by the way. Just what I know, repairing ancestral halls, repairing roads and bridges, setting up factories, building hospitals and schools, it all depends on the support policies of various local governments."

"Really good."

"Don't say you don't have relatives, there are also your relatives inside. My father said your grandfather was the whole family smashing pots and selling iron to supply his brothers in front to go abroad first, and then the small ones were left at home to wait for a few years. Who knew they encountered famine, and each had to make a living. This time, there are also descendants of your grandfather's brothers who returned. When they worshipped the ancestors, he said to invite your family to come over."

Ye Yaodong listened confusedly, and felt nothing. How much affection can there be for relatives he hasn't even met?

In the final analysis, they are just strangers with blood relations.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.

He just nodded casually, and then changed the subject, "Is there ice water in bags for sale in the city?"

Ye Yaohai was asked by his jumping thinking, "What ice water in bags?"

Ye Yaodong heard the hawking of popsicles in the distance, so he shouted to that side to buy popsicles, and the other party rode the car over happily.

He asked if there was ice water in bags, and the other party immediately responded yes, and asked him what flavor he wanted, opened the wooden box on the back seat and took it for him.

Bought 10 at once, with different flavors, and the same flavors gathered together, colorful and placed all over the table.

"Everyone one, cool off in the hot day."

Ye Yaohai picked up an orange one casually, "Isn't this thing available two months ago? There are all kinds of flavors, and it's sweet, and some are sour and sweet, quite popular with those children."

"What I want is this kind of sealing machine for bagged water, so I have to trouble you to help ask. Just by my description, you may not be able to imagine it. If you take this bagged water to see, you will know."

"That's true, you just described the machine for sealing liquid for a long time, and I didn't think of this. If you take this to show me, I will know what you want. Those people don't know when they will leave. I will ask later to see if anyone has seen it abroad and knows it."

"Then I'll trouble you. They are not investing in building this and that, why are they leaving so fast, didn't they say they just came back?"

"Not sure, because some of them want to take relatives and neighbors abroad together. Overseas Chinese value their hometown people very much, pay great attention to relatives and friends, and also value neighborhood and relative relations. Everyone sees them returning in glory and also wants to let them take them out. Many overseas Chinese are very willing to carry their hometown people and help them."

"Oh, then if the visa can't be handled, still have to worship Mazu, see at the pier at night?"

Ye Yaohai pursed his lips tightly, and then smiled, "Almost, if you can't take the normal path, then take the illegal path. Heard that the foreign environment is still better than the domestic one, going out to work is indeed stronger than domestic, it's not easy to find work in the country."

"After the country opened up in recent years, the status of overseas Chinese has also been continuously improved, should more people go out?"

"Almost."

"Pity."

"Pity what?"

"Pity that we lagged behind for decades, but later we will still catch up with all countries. The times are developing, and our country will sooner or later give the world a shock."

Ye Yaohai smiled and didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong said again: "Tell me about the ancestral hall worshipping ancestors? And what other relatives are there in my grandfather's generation, what is the hometown like, what is the situation?"

"Okay, anyway, idle is idle."

After the matter had someone to entrust, Ye Yaodong didn't have to run around to find if there was that kind of machine, so he sat at the pier waiting for Ah Guang with peace of mind, and chatted with Ye Yaohai about the situation in his hometown.

Although this person is not necessarily a good person, at least for now, he has no malice towards them, and they Fujian people pay the most attention to the clan. Speaking of which, they are also people of the same clan.

Ye Yaodong just sat on the pier killing time for the whole afternoon, and he even mooched his dinner off them.

After a whole day, he really saw them all sitting there enjoying the cool and hitting mosquitoes, very idle, while other people were busy there constantly receiving goods, lifting goods, and transporting them away.

He was also full of curiosity when he saw it, "Where are these goods transported to?"

"Some are sent to some factories, fish canning factories, food factories. Those relatively large sharks, etc., have special people to receive goods to decompose various parts, and then make related products. There are also other fishmongers to divide them. Large quantities will also be sent to the aquatic product wholesale market, and some people will pull a car to the township to sell for a day, all have. Anyway, fresh ones are not worried about no one wanting them. Now people want to buy everything they see."

He understood, having been short of food and clothing for so many years, now it is natural hunger marketing, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

"If there is cold chain technology, it would be good. Pull a car of chilled fish to all parts of the country, the demand for fish catch can be greater, and the price can be higher."

"What is cold chain technology?"

"It is to maintain a specified low-temperature environment in all links of production, storage, transportation, sales, and before consumption, to ensure the freshness of things. If this technology can be available now, how can our seafood only be traded in a close range, it can be pulled to the inland areas of the whole country, and people in inland areas can also eat fresh ones. Isn't this demand greatly increased?"

Ye Yaohai looked at him novelly, "Can there be such technology?"

"I'm just talking, it's just hoping to have it, it should be possible later? Anyway, it's changing day by day now, changing with each passing day."

"Brother still has some goods, chatting with you, feeling that the vision is wider, and there are more things in the brain."

"Going to grow a brain."

"Hahahaha..."

"Why haven't Ah Guang and the others come back, the sky is about to darken."

The goods on the side were pulled away car by car, and some people were washing the ground with water, preparing to close the door and go home.

"Not so fast, wait, went at noon, it will be dark when coming back, not to mention he still has to ask."

"Then you all go home first, I'll wait here."

"Let others go back first, I'll sit here and chat, anyway, it's idle."

Ye Yaodong continued to chat with him, half a day passed, and the two packs of cigarettes in his pocket were almost smoked out.

The two waited, until the sky was completely dark, he kept looking at his watch, until 8 o'clock, he heard the sound of the tractor coming from far to near.

He stood up immediately, "Back?"

Ye Yaohai extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up too, "Should be."

It was indeed. The tractor drove towards them from far to near, and then stopped in front of them. Ah Guang jumped off the car immediately.

"I thought you were going to be made into human meat buns, and hadn't come back."

"A bit far, when going, also walked and stopped on the road to ask for directions, delayed some time, fortunately found it, just troubled old brother Ye, accompanied me for most of the day."

"Anyway, idle is idle, what trouble is there or not." The middle-aged man driving the tractor said.

Ah Guang took out two packs of Chengfeng from his pocket and stuffed them to him, and also stuffed two packs to Ye Yaohai, "It's a bit late today, I'll invite everyone to eat tomorrow at noon, thank you, otherwise I might not find the place until dark."

They didn't decline, and happily accepted the cigarettes and stuffed them into their pockets.

"Polite, two packs of cigarettes at noon, two packs of cigarettes at night, I earned it."

Ye Yaodong said: "Since the matter has been handled, then we will go find a hostel first. It's a bit late, there is no one on the road, you also go back to rest early, I will come to find old brothers tomorrow at noon, and invite everyone to eat at the state-run restaurant together."

"Then talk about it tomorrow, you go." Ye Yaohai said.

Ye Yaodong nodded and thanked politely again, asked about the location of the hostel, refused their sending, and then walked to the city with Ah Guang.

Just kidding, these are the jobs of people who smuggle. Ah Guang followed them in broad daylight, so there is no need to worry too much, but it's better to forget it in the middle of the night.

Although if they really wanted to engage them, it wouldn't take much effort, directly with a stick, both could be abducted, but it's better to prevent it.

It was pitch black all around, and there were not many street lights. Fortunately, they both brought flashlights, and the two walking on the road also had company.

"Why not let them send?" Ah Guang asked suspiciously while walking.

"Do you know what they do?"

"Aren't they receiving goods at the pier?"

"That's just the identity they use to cover their eyes, actually they are snakeheads."

Ah Guang looked at him suspiciously, "What is a snakehead?"

"You don't know?"

Think about it, it's normal. Ordinary people haven't been in contact with these, the Internet is not developed, how would ordinary people know what a snakehead is?

Ye Yaodong now explained to him what a snakehead does.

Ah Guang widened his eyes and stopped his steps, "Fuck, tmd, really?"

After speaking, he also shivered, "I tmd even followed him? You didn't stop me? Fortunately, I came back safely. Aren't you afraid I wouldn't come back?"

Ye Yaodong laughed, "I didn't know at first. Chatting in the afternoon, I suddenly guessed it. But looking at them, they don't look like big snakeheads. They should be decent snakeheads, not to the point of engaging in human trafficking."

"Oh, scared me to death. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed them no matter what. Fortunately, I have great luck, Mazu blesses, otherwise your sister would have to be a widow."

"Won't, broad daylight, so many people watching."

"Go, go, walk faster, don't just talk, walk faster first, stay away first."

Ye Yaodong was pulled by him, and could only run and walk faster.

When they walked to the street, it was pitch black everywhere, no shop was open, and there was no one on the whole road except for the night watchman, probably only them.

It was almost 9 o'clock, which was already the middle of the night for people now. After that, the nightlife hadn't started yet.

They walked for more than an hour before they saw the hostel. It was just that the city hadn't developed yet, and there were only a few main streets. Walking around, they could find the place.

They had been here before, but it was impossible for him to recognize the road to the hostel in every position. He just recognized where the hostel was, so he also needed to find it.

After the two asked for a room, they asked for a few packs of instant noodles as a midnight snack, filled their stomachs, and chatted for a while before sleeping.

What should be said, just walked all the way, they had already exchanged on the road, so after arriving at the hostel, they didn't chat much. After a whole day, everyone was a bit exhausted. They slept on the boat until the early morning, how could they rest well.

Ye Yaodong also told Ah Guang that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, and now just wait for the reply.

Both of them had finished their work, and they also discussed inviting them to eat a meal tomorrow at noon, and then immediately buy tickets back to the city.

After arriving in the city, they still have to spend another night, and then take a car to the county town, and the county town to the village has to change cars again. It is just so troublesome, and travel is particularly inconvenient.

Early the next morning, they slept until they woke up naturally, which was only 8 o'clock. After checking out, they thought about it and didn't go to the pier immediately, but strolled around the city.

If they went to the pier and started chatting with them, it was estimated that they didn't have to stroll around the city.

Ye Yaodong was still thinking about buying dolls for the children at home. He lied to her that planting dolls would get dolls, but they didn't grow, so he still had to buy some back to compensate.

And school is about to start, see what the latest school supplies are, buy some and bring them back. Although they are all scumbags, it doesn't prevent scumbags from liking new school supplies. This can let them take them to school to show off.

Saying it was brought back from the provincial capital is definitely very decent.

Ah Guang watched him sweep up school supplies, thought about it, and also bought a few.

"What are you buying these for?"

"For my younger brothers and sisters, why are you buying so many?"

"You don't think about it, I have so many nephews and nieces, and Ah Yuan is still at my house. Buy more, and bring them back to share. Oh, right, make a phone call, anyway, I have to send Ah Yuan back to the city, just let the tractor at home send him to the city tomorrow, and bring us back by the way, so we don't have to spend a night in the city."

"So you bought so many copybooks?"

"No problem, let them practice calligraphy when they are idle. It is said that the handwriting is like the person. Can a scumbag writing a good handwriting also make people drop their jaws?"

Ah Guang looked at it with disgust, "It is estimated that it will be newer than the textbook after a year."

"It doesn't matter, when giving it to them, I will tell the sisters-in-law, let my sisters-in-law urge them to complete it every day."

"You really love them."

"Isn't it, although not born by me, I also hope for a dragon. Unlike you, buying some comic books, affecting study."

"Cut~"

The two strolled for a while, and also had a tacit understanding to pick toys, and they were all picking dolls that girls liked, pink and tender.

Ye Yaodong saw that there were harmonicas for sale, conscience discovered, and grabbed a few handfuls by the way, striving for one for each, other musical instruments have no ability, harmonicas can still have one for each, take it to play.

They strolled around the department store, and also went to the friendship store. However, this can only open their eyes. They don't have foreign exchange certificates in their hands, so they can only stroll around and come out regretfully.

"Let's go, bought almost enough, time is almost up, go to the pier, invite them to eat a meal, and we will go back directly."

"Okay, pity, the things in the friendship store just now are all things, all high-end, really want to buy some back to taste what those coffee chocolates taste like. Before when there was no money in hand, didn't even dare to step in. Now stepped in, but can only look, how shameful, those sales clerks eyes are all on the top of the head, all feel we can't afford, don't even ignore, and roll eyes, angry to death. Seeing other people in suits and leather shoes, but still a flattering look, really disgusting."

Ye Yaodong also looked down at himself, wearing the tattered, gray, and dusty clothes for work, plus the liberation shoes on his feet, it was indeed a rural farmer look, not comparable to those people in suits and leather shoes in the friendship store just now.

Respect the clothes first and then respect the person, this is really applicable everywhere.

"Then ask old Hai if he has foreign exchange certificates when going to the pier later, and buy a few from him."

Ah Guang's eyes lit up, "Right, they are snakeheads, so they must have foreign exchange certificates in their hands. Spend some money to get a few to buy things back, since we are here, we have seen it. By the way, let those people who look down on people open their eyes and see, we can also afford it."

"They look down on you, and you still provide them with performance."

Seems so?

Ah Guang pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong walked out of the door and walked directly to a human-powered tricycle, "Take a tricycle?"

"Must be, in the hot day, who wants to walk? Heatstroke, half a life will be gone."

"Very good, the revolutionary front reached a consensus."

"Walked for a day yesterday, tanned for a day, people are going to be scrapped."

Ye Yaodong felt the slight coolness brought by the breeze after the rickshaw ran, it was not so hot, sure enough, it is good to have money, no need to be stingy, spend money if you want to spend money.

It would be even better if he could become a capitalist.

Thinking in his heart, he also sighed in his mouth: "It's good to have money!"

"Yes, it's good to have money."

"Still have to work hard to earn more."

"You have already earned a lot, it should be my turn."

"You didn't earn less."

"Can't compare to you, just so-so, still have to work hard, my father is old, now a whole family, more people, more than your family."

"That's true, your stepmother might be able to add two more younger brothers and sisters for you."

Ah Guang's expression instantly became indescribable.

Ye Yaodong understood immediately, surprised, "Damn? Really, I just said it casually, are you really going to be a brother again?"

"Sigh..." Ah Guang had a complex expression, sighed, "I don't know that besides being a father, I can be a brother again. My father is really awesome, I'm almost 30 years old, he can still add younger brothers and sisters for me, let me be a brother."

Ye Yaodong laughed out loud, "Oh my mother, laughed to death, my mouth is really opened, really fulfilled casually, hahahaha."

"Sigh..."

"Your father is really something, old and strong, how long has it been? Less than a month since returning from Zhejiang, right? Oh my, I'm going, was it conceived before leaving?"

Ah Guang nodded indescribably.

"No wonder looking at your father's glowing face, when happy events happen, one's spirit is refreshed, thought he was holding two grandsons at once, so he was happy, didn't expect to be a father again, after being a grandfather, he is a father again, hahahaha, just admire your father, the model of men in the village, hahahaha, middle-aged, pockets bulging, after being a grandfather, he is a father again, hahaha..."

Ye Yaodong laughed to death.

"You look happier than me, do you also want to be a brother?"

"Forget it, really like this, my mother probably wouldn't dare to raise her head and chest to go out, estimated that she could eat my father."

Ah Guang shook his head and didn't speak.

Originally, he didn't intend to say it, he felt embarrassed, and the stepmother was the same, so he had been hiding it and didn't say it, it was only in these few days that their whole family knew.

The whole family was happy, only his father was happy, wishing to announce it to the world, but was ordered by the stepmother not to shout everywhere, so it didn't spread in the village.

Otherwise, such explosive news, it wouldn't take half a day for the whole village to know.

Ye Yaodong also thought that Pei father earned big money at this age, married a wife 10 years younger, and could be a grandfather of twins again, and now he was going to be a father again. It was really a life winner. He experienced everything in his old age. This life was worth it.

He patted Ah Guang's shoulder, "Work hard, you have to work hard, from now on not only have to raise sons but also raise younger brothers, the whole family will rely on you from now on, you are the biggest."

"Hmm, but my father said, anyway, how they will be in the future depends on me. He is old, maybe he won't see the children grow up, anyway, his are all left to me, he is working hard now, let me handle it myself later."

"This is the correct one, your stepmother's whole family has to rely on you, but Lin Jianshe is also big, can support each other, that's nothing, anyway, he should also know that he was brought over, definitely have to fight for himself."

Ye Yaodong thought about the situation of Ah Guang's family now, it was really complicated. If he had known earlier that his father would marry another one, and he could have a stepmother and stepbrother, and could have younger brothers and sisters, it was estimated that their family would not marry Huimei over.

Now it's not good to say anything like this.

However, their family's life is good, and the condition level throws the people in the ten-mile and eight-towns a street.

"Hmm." ===== CHAPTER 1142 =====
