Chapter 1157

Zeng Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and also wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Just a big fish, yet it caused such a big commotion, attracting such a large group of people. Rumors are really terrible."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly and explained: "At this time, there are no tractors at the pier, so we can only carry it over. Otherwise, if we had let a tractor pull it over, it wouldn't have attracted so many people."

The fact was indeed so. Many fishing boats went out to sea in the morning or at night, and they all had to return in the afternoon or evening. At this time, the tractors all went to other places to pull goods, or to other piers, or to carry people. There were basically no people at that pier.

"Alright, it's good to send the masses away. As for this fish... shall we carry it inside first? Otherwise, if it's left in the sun, I'm afraid it will be ruined."

"We didn't contact the people from the research institute in advance, so we don't know if they want this fish..."

Ye Yaodong didn't know who these people speaking were. Anyway, some spoke the local dialect, and some spoke Mandarin. He just stood silently on the side, standing like a lackey.

They went back and forth and talked for a while, and finally decided to carry it into the Maritime Police Bureau first, sprinkle some ice on it, and by the way, have the people from the Ocean Bureau call the research institute to come over and have a look, and take the fish away.

Ye Yaodong also called his few workers to help carry the fish in together. After finishing these things, the others left in twos and threes after finishing work, and only Zeng Weimin remained at the end.

He said to Ye Yaodong: "You donated this for free, there is no reward or anything..."

"I understand, I know. It couldn't be sold anyway."

Zeng Weimin nodded, "Hmm, seeing everyone tired from running back and forth, you should go back for dinner first. The association matter won't be decided so quickly. After ten days or half a month when it's confirmed, I'll tell you."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much."

Ye Yaodong hesitated for a moment and said: "Will this fish be made into a specimen after research?"

"It should be."

"Then after it's made into a specimen, the origin must be written down. Can my name be put on it? Haha..."

Zeng Weimin also smiled, "I'll talk about it when the time comes. The origin will definitely be written down, but if you don't say anything, it will probably be written as 'donated by a local fisherman on such and such a day'."

"I knew it would be like this, so I asked, haha. It was hard-earned after all, so it's worth it if my name can be left."

"I'll ask when the time comes."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble. Then we'll go back first, and won't delay the leader from finishing work. It's already past twelve, long past the time to finish work."

He nodded.

Ye Yaodong led a group of people out first.

Fortunately, there were still two people left at home to keep watch. After they returned home drenched in sweat, they could immediately have food to eat, without having to wait hungry.

During the meal, everyone was also discussing the gossip of the local citizens, and complaining that the rumors were passed around and changed a lot, it was really nonsense.

"Finally finished this matter. It was scorching hot all the way back. Everyone should have a good rest this afternoon. In the evening, check how the fishing nets are mended. If they can't be finished, borrow a flatbed cart to pull the fishing nets back, and let those two women mend them in our courtyard tomorrow, so as not to delay going out to sea tomorrow."

Ye Fu hesitated for a moment, "Asking those two women to come to our place to mend the nets, I guess they won't be very willing, right? Our house is full of men, more than a dozen people. If those two women come to our courtyard to mend the nets, I guess they will also worry about being pointed at."

That's true. If there were women among them, it would be fine, but they are all men, and they are all from out of town. Asking two women to come to the door, I guess they would also be afraid.

The fishing nets are too big. If mended at the entrance, most of the road would be occupied, affecting the passage of vehicles, and they would be scolded to death. After all, it's a house facing the street.

It's better to mend the nets on the boat. In broad daylight, everyone can see that they are doing serious work.

"Then forget it. If they can't mend it today, let them continue to mend it on the boat tomorrow. We'll just rest for one more day. When selling goods yesterday, I also heard locals saying that they couldn't go down very deep, and they didn't see sea urchins at all. Let's relax for one more day tomorrow. They probably tried everything and gave up, and it won't affect us then."

"I'm just afraid someone can't see us doing well..."

"What are you afraid of? In the end, it's still the jellyfish fishing season. They all have to try to earn as much as possible before the fishing season ends. How can they have time to manage us here? And it can't bring them any benefits. When the fishing season is about to end, we will probably be done too. The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge."

"Okay."

Ye Fu didn't say anything more.

After everyone finished eating, they went to take a shower, and then went to make up for sleep, having a good rest for half a day.

The next day, because the fishing nets hadn't been repaired yet, they continued to rest for another day.

Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the free time to make a phone call back. Yesterday morning, the boatmen went to make phone calls together, and he hadn't found time yet.

Today is already the sixth day since they came out.

Only his father found time to make a phone call back to report safety on the second day of coming to Zhejiang Province, and the workers also made phone calls back together yesterday. He was the busiest, busy running around.

Taking advantage of the free time today and having had enough rest, he also went to make a phone call home.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing answered his phone, the first sentence was to belittle him.

"I thought you bought a house over there and married another wife, so you wouldn't call back."

"Nonsense, I only have one wife."

"Then you have a lover."

"Nonsense, with more than a dozen men around me, can I find a woman for myself? If I want to find one, I have to arrange one for everyone, then I can find one. Otherwise, wouldn't it be exposed? If I find a woman, within half a day, there will definitely be a phone call back to the village."

From the other end of the phone, Ye Mu's scolding voice came from a bit far away, "Your father is an old bone, if you find him a woman, half a foot can let him step into the coffin."

"Humph, just say you don't have no lust, it's just because there are many people around, it's inconvenient."

"You damn..." Ye Yaodong scolded speechlessly, "Don't talk nonsense. If it spreads, it will become me taking them to find women, not coming here to work and earn money. I've just been busy these two days, with things happening one after another."

"Then why do you have time to call back today?"

"The fishing nets were broken by a big fish. It's inconvenient to invite people home, so I invited people to repair them on the fishing boat, so today is a rare free time."

Only then did Lin Xiuqing speak properly and ask about the recent situation. Ye Yaodong also reported the situation to her.

"I've been busy like a spinning top, and I can't get enough sleep, yet you still think I'm going to find a woman."

"Father, it doesn't matter, you find an aunt, I'll also find an uncle for mother, one for grandma, one for mother, one for me..."

The suddenly coming childish words made him stunned, and instantly he was between laughter and tears.

From the other end of the phone, several laughing and scolding voices also came.

"You are really filial. After being filial, you don't forget to find one for yourself."

"I haven't finished speaking... I want to talk to father on the phone..." Ye Xiaoxi grabbed the phone tightly, not letting Lin Xiuqing take it away.

Lin Xiuqing's voice also came from inside, "What are you talking about? Nonsense."

"Father, you have to earn money well, eat well, sleep well, and then buy me a gift when you come back."

"Good, good, good, if you are obedient, I will buy it."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded heavily while holding the phone, "Hmm, I am obedient..."

"Obedient my ass. Yangyang went to the mountain to herd sheep yesterday, and she also secretly followed to the mountain to play, making me look everywhere. I looked through the whole village and didn't see her, almost going crazy with anxiety. At noon, Yangyang ran back crying and said his sister was missing, then I knew they ran to the mountain together."

"Didn't she follow to the mountain? Why is she missing?"

"She ran to climb a tree, secretly picked other people's firewood pears, and then fell asleep in the grass when she was tired. Yangyang looked everywhere and called everywhere, but didn't find her, so he was afraid and ran back to tell me. By the time I was about to run to the mountain to look, someone had already brought her back, saying she fell asleep, and she was holding several firewood pears in her arms."

Now, Ye Yaodong couldn't say she was obedient either.

"Then I wanted to compensate people, but they said no need, such a small child doesn't understand, so forget it, they didn't lose anything either. Later, I simply bought two jin of firewood pears. Those two got a good beating from me yesterday."

"So you want to vent your anger on me as soon as you answer the phone today! I said why you spoke like you ate gunpowder when you answered the phone, you really know how to vent your anger."

"No way."

"This damn girl is really naughty, the older she gets, the more she can run, and she even secretly ran to the mountain and climbed a tree. I really have to beat her."

Ye Xiaoxi shouted on the other end of the phone, "No."

Her skin is also quite thick. She was beaten yesterday, and today she is full of life again, shouting loudly, without any self-awareness of having to keep a low profile.

Ye Mu also asked on the other end of the phone at this time: "Where is your father? Did he come out with you to make a phone call?"

"No, it's too hot. He said it's enough for me to call to report safety. Anyway, he made a phone call a few days ago, so he didn't come."

"Old immortal, who isn't hot? I'm hot too..."

Ye Yaodong listened to his mother chattering and scolding his father, and after asking him a few words with concern, he returned the phone to Lin Xiuqing.

He didn't say much, asked about the recent situation, only said he would call again when he remitted money back in a few days, and then hung up.

All the way home, he had a smile on his face. The whole family is his motivation to struggle.

After the fishing nets were repaired in the evening, he paid the wages, and the next day he took people out to sea to catch sea urchins again.

It was only early September. Driving on the sea, jellyfish were floating intermittently. The surrounding fishing boats were all chasing the jellyfish within sight.

He stood on the steering tower with binoculars to check the surroundings, thinking in his heart that just by looking for jellyfish on the sea every day, those small boats could probably have a good income during this period. At least a few dozen yuan a day was still possible, much better than ordinary people working.

And when they were approaching the trench, he also saw it with binoculars. It was still empty, only two fishing boats were driving fast in the opposite direction of the trench. They were probably really all caught.

He went out to sea at 5 o'clock, and it was only 7 o'clock when he arrived, so there was nothing left. It was indeed caught too cleanly.

That was just right, facilitating them to catch sea urchins.

After arriving at the destination, they followed the combination arranged in the previous few days and went into the water at the first opportunity, trying to go into the water a few more times within the limited time.

Although it is said that the number of times going into the water a day should not be too many, they were only for a few short days, not long-term. As long as the body can bear it and there is no discomfort, it is okay to go into the water a few more times.

Before going out, Ye Yaodong also left 5 yuan for them to buy meat, supplying them with good food and drink every day. Having only been out for a few days, he felt that everyone's complexion was ruddier than at home.

After catching for a day today, a few boats ran over to have a look during the period, probably not giving up, wanting to see if there were any jellyfish. But after seeing them, they left immediately.

Some curious ones stayed for a while, but the people who went into the water didn't come up so fast. After staying for a while and seeing nothing, they couldn't wait and turned around and left. Delaying for a few more minutes might mean earning a few less cents.

After catching smoothly for a day, today's harvest was a bit more than the trip a few days ago.

Returning to the shore, he still sold it to the same person as usual. Today he caught 2865 jin and sold it for 630 yuan, another large sum of money into the account.

Although it couldn't be compared with the big wave earned the day before yesterday, compared to the normal drag of the Dongsheng, it was already a big profit. Compared to those who were catching jellyfish on the sea, it earned more.

Selling a few hundred yuan, although it is said to be a lot, but referring to his boat, the locals will also feel that it is right to earn more than their small boats. After all, such a big boat consumes oil and labor, and the cost is several times higher than that of a small boat.

When someone discusses it, there are also people who use this sentence to refute it.

As long as it is not a one-time sale of several thousand yuan that shocks people, his sale of five or six hundred yuan cannot be considered too eye-catching.

Having only been out for 7 days, he had already earned 6000 yuan, which can be considered lightning speed.

The next few days were very calm, but it rained after only a few days of work, so they could only stop work and rest, and could only work after the rain stopped and the sun came out.

It was just that after the rain stopped, they encountered a cloudy day. They tried to go out to sea and into the water once, but had to return without success.

Because it was a cloudy day, the sky was overcast, and the visibility under the water was too low. Originally, the trench was also a dark strip. Without good weather, they couldn't see anything under the water and couldn't catch anything. Visibility is very important.

After stopping intermittently for a week, they caught normally again.

It was just that when Ye Yaodong returned this day, the boatmen left at home told him that people from the Maritime Police Bureau came to find him in the afternoon, asking him to go over once he returned.

"Didn't you say I would definitely be back in the evening?"

"I said it. He said if you return late and they finish work, then go over tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

Ye Fu was a bit nervous, "What is the Maritime Police Bureau looking for you for? We haven't done anything recently, have we?"

Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.

Having been to the bureau once, now hearing that these public security departments are looking for him, his legs are shaking, fearing that there will be some bad things coming to the door.

"We haven't done anything. Go and see tomorrow. I guess it might be that the jellyfish association matter has been implemented, so they called me over."

Ye Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face, "This is calling you to be an official, that's a good thing. I thought there was some trouble looking for us to go over and talk."

"With Director Zeng there, there won't be any big trouble."

"The feeling of having a noble person supporting you wherever you go is good. At least you don't have to worry about suffering a big loss because of your status as an outsider."

"I am a person with great luck."

"Don't say it so full first..."

The fact is so. Ye Yaodong just felt that he should have great luck. Coming back in this life, everything went very smoothly.

At first, he wasn't so confident, feeling that he had dog shit luck to be reborn. Later, the smooth sailing in the past two years also made him firmly believe that he was a person with great luck. Maybe he might be some ten-life good person.

He changed the subject, "Then I won't go out to sea with you tomorrow morning. Father, you take them out to sea. I will go to the Maritime Police Bureau tomorrow to have a look and see if it's about the association."

"Good, one less person is one less person."

Ye Yaodong's guess was also correct.

On the second day after receiving the notice, he waited until work time to go to the Maritime Police Bureau. Then Zeng Weimin told him that after several days of discussion, the jellyfish association was not established, but a fishery association was established, and the jellyfish sub-item was also included in the fishery association.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized, did the vice president position in his hand fly away?

The bragging was blown to the sky, blown out.

"Get ready. Tomorrow afternoon around 2 o'clock, there will be a meeting. The meeting place is at the Ocean Bureau. You must remember to go, and then report your name. Here is a piece of information and charter, have a look. When the time comes, as the vice president, you have to stand up and say a few words."

"Ah?"

"Why are you stunned? Let me tell you, the things included in this fishery association are many. It's not like the jellyfish association you proposed at the beginning, only managing jellyfish catching, production, distribution, etc. This fishery association now covers the entire fishery industry."

"You are an outsider, but I still argued on strong grounds, helping to say that there shouldn't be discrimination based on region. I am also an outsider, can't I come here to serve? What's more, you bought a house here, so you are considered a local. It's just hanging a name for you."

"A few days ago, you donated such a big fish to the research institute, which can be considered showing your face. The research institute is also very happy to have such research material, and they all praised you for your awareness. It was a mistake."

"Having an outsider can also better integrate fishermen from all over the world. Our pier doesn't just have local fishing boats docking, there are also fishing boats from out of town. After all, Wenzhou is close to Fujian Province, so this can also play a propaganda role. Our local area doesn't discriminate against outsiders."

He was silent for a moment, "Although they do discriminate against outsiders who don't speak the local dialect, the attitude must be put out. It was me who, after your reminder, proposed it earliest and could say a few words, otherwise there would be no place for me to speak."

Ye Yaodong was hit by a pie, and forgot to be happy. After hearing this, he also thought that it was probably because it was just established in the initial stage, and these people didn't know anything, so it was a mess, so it wasn't so particular.

This local fishery association cannot be compared with a small jellyfish association. This social group has a very strong representativeness.

What's more, it's still the vice president!

He was really a bit confused. The China Fishery Association hadn't been established yet, and it was interfered with by his super strong consciousness. Now the local fishery association was established first?

After digesting this news and reacting, Ye Yaodong bowed deeply to the leader.

"Thank you, leader. I am an outsider. Although I came here to buy a house, in the end, I won't speak the local dialect and will definitely be discriminated against. But being able to hang a name is already very honored. Originally, I was just an ordinary small fisherman. Knowing you is really a pie falling from the sky."

"Exclusion here is very serious. The master leads into the door, and cultivation depends on the individual. You handle it yourself later. To tell you the truth, I also belong to the excluded."

"Haha, leader, learn to speak the local dialect, so you won't be excluded."

He nodded, "This is indeed a way. Only a common language can better integrate into the local area."

Actually, there is another way, but this doesn't apply to Zeng Weimin, it applies more to him, which is to become a local entrepreneur. As long as you have money, who doesn't respect you?

However, he didn't dare to think about this. He only has a little surplus money now.

What's more, if you dare to become an entrepreneur now, people can immediately eat you up.

If you are so rich, donate some money to repair bridges and pave roads; if you are so rich, donate some money to build a school or hospital; if you are so rich, donate some money to support local construction...

If you want to become a famous local entrepreneur, you have to wait a few years until the environment is better.

In the end, you have to learn the local dialect first and strive not to be excluded.

"Then... is my vice president position now considered a nail in the board?"

"Not necessarily. Now it's just registered, and after the meeting tomorrow afternoon, after publishing speeches, the name is on the list, then it's considered a nail in the board."

"Understood, understood, I'll go back and prepare the speech for the meeting."

"It's best to publish some suggestions you have, especially the jellyfish association you mentioned before. You should target this, and it's best to mention some useful connections."

"Okay."

He has confidence in this. He knows quite a lot about this, especially some subsequent developments. He can propose a jellyfish farming plan, let the local area build a hometown of jellyfish, and vigorously promote farming, which should be enough.

After all, now everything relies on the original ecological resources of the ocean, and no one thinks about farming. Proposing advocacy early, and developing in this direction in the future, will also have his share of credit.

As for whether anyone listens after he says it, that is not within his scope of concern.

Anyway, as long as he is the earliest to propose it, it can only show that he has foresight and foresight when looking back.

After Ye Yaodong discussed with the leader what he would say, he took a list and went back.

On the way back, he was thinking that if he really became the vice president of the fishery association here, he would have to come here often every year. At least for the few months of the fishing season, he must be here, and then it would be best to do something here.

Sigh... this person's luck is too good, and there are some troubles. Wherever he goes, he spreads the stall. A sweet burden.

Originally, he thought about coming here to earn money for a few months every year. Now thinking about it, he still has to operate something here.

While walking, he took the list and looked at it from time to time. After looking at it, his brain was flying in the sky again, and he even thought about people respectfully calling him President Ye, President Ye, Chairman Ye.

Before, he only fantasized about people calling him Ship King Dong. Now the fantasy is more advanced.

It's still broad daylight, dream less. He hurriedly shook his head and walked back quickly with the list.

As soon as he returned home, he immediately picked up paper and pen and wrote non-stop. The boatmen saw it and couldn't help but lean over to look left and right.

"Dong, what are you writing? It's like my child writing an essay."

"Don't be noisy, go about your work, don't worry about me."

He was in high spirits, his brain was already fantasizing about a big fight, and his desire to express was very strong, wanting to write down everything he thought of first.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, really couldn't understand what he was writing. Those left at home were all old, at most only knowing how to write their own names.

He is the boss. He said don't be noisy, so they could only not disturb him first.

It was just that everyone was really curious. From returning until lunch, Ye Yaodong sat there writing non-stop. Those who didn't know would think he was some cultural person, everyone.

Taking advantage of lunch, everyone saw him stop, and then they could ask two questions.

"What happened when the Maritime Police Bureau called you over today?"

Ye Yaodong grinned, "The city is going to establish a fishery association, not a jellyfish association. I was nominated as vice president. There is a meeting tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock to let me speak, so I am preparing."

"Ah? Why did it change?"

"Which is bigger, the fishery association or the jellyfish association?"

"Stupid, of course it's the fishery association. Fishery association sounds like it can represent the entire fishery. It was just set up, and it's still a grass-roots team, so it's not so particular, so I can pick up a leak. However, your boss can only hang a name, but this is enough."

Ye Yaodong smiled beautifully.

"Is that a bigger official?"

"Can't count as it. I said it, it's just a grass-roots team now, and I don't know if I will be kicked out in the future. However, no matter what, it's a veteran!"

"Sounds very powerful, too powerful. You, an outsider, can run here to be the president, too capable, too awesome."

"Vice, vice, it is said that there are 5 vice ones, don't be happy too early."

Although he said so, his smile was brighter than anyone else's.

"Then Dong, after you become the president here, do you have to live here?"

"No, didn't I say it? I just hang a name. Actually, it's just giving the leader face. They are balancing all parties. The local department leaders must have outsiders and locals. These officials must need balance in all aspects."

"I am probably the product of their balance. What does it matter if I have it or not? It's just that for me, it sounds good to say it out."

Everyone listened to him in the clouds and mist, didn't understand what he was talking about, felt they understood, and felt they didn't understand. Anyway, it sounded particularly tall!

After all, talking about officials, how can ordinary small people understand and understand.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but burst out with envious light.

"You are really going to be a big official!"
