Chapter 1246: Salvaging Ground Cages

Ye Xiaoxi used her suckling strength. Just as she pulled off one shoe, she fell to the ground due to inertia.

She couldn't care about the pain. Her facial features were wrinkled into a ball. One hand tightly pinched her nose, and the other hand was still fanning at the tip of her nose.

"So smelly! Smellier than poop!"

Both brothers lowered their heads and snickered, then turned their heads away, afraid of smelling the foot odor.

"Brother..."

Ye Chenghu hurriedly said, "It's already assigned, can't change, there's still one foot."

Ye Xiaoxi's small eyebrows were wrinkled enough to pinch a fly to death. Looking at the socks on Ye Yaodong's feet, which were also pulled by her just now, they were already loose and hanging on his feet, swinging.

"Hands... will rot..."

Ye Chengyang couldn't help laughing out loud, then turned his head and made a pinching gesture at her.

"Like this, just take off the socks."

"No! You bully me!"

Ye Xiaoxi sat up from the ground angrily, running and shouting, "Mother~ brother bul... lies me..."

The brothers hurriedly stripped their father's clothes and pants.

Ye Chengyang muttered while pulling his pants, "Father has a lot of hair..."

"Idiot, that's fur..."

Ye Chenghu was struggling to untie the buttons of Ye Yaodong's shirt. He only untied two or three after a long time, which annoyed him, so he scolded him in a low voice.

He simply rolled the clothes up. His father's two hands were taken out first, and then he pulled the shirt over his head, getting his father's head stuck inside.

Ye Yaodong only felt that his whole person's breathing was not smooth, and he was almost suffocated. But he was drunk, and his brain was a mess. He only instinctively struggled, kicking and moving randomly.

One was kicked off the bed by him, and one was thrown to the side by his hand. Only then did he feel his breathing was smooth, turned over, and started snoring again.

The two brothers looked at each other.

"I'm almost done taking off..."

"I'm also almost done taking off..."

The two had to go forward again to continue pulling the pants that were half taken off and the clothes that were half taken off.

Ye Yaodong felt the unsmooth breathing again, and the severe pulling sensation on his head.

He shouted and yelled in a panic: "What... what..."

Ye Chenghu hesitated whether to continue pulling the clothes out or let his father breathe first.

Ye Chengyang had already taken off Ye Yaodong's pants, and even the boxer shorts were brought down together. He was curiously looking at how it was different from his.

Lin Xiuqing was annoyed by Ye Xiaoxi outside. She kept saying that her brother bullied her, her father's feet were so smelly, and she didn't want to do it.

She kept making a fuss, wanting her to go beat her brother and scold her brother.

She was annoyed, wanting to take a whip to whip her, but the old lady snatched her whip.

"Oh my, why beat her? Can't beat children late at night, it will scare them at night."

"You go in and take a look. There's me and your mother cleaning up here, no need for you. You just happen to go and wipe Dongzi's body so he can sleep. He probably didn't take a bath outside, that's why the child thinks it's smelly..."

Ye's mother also said, "You go, you go, we'll clean up..."

Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Xiaoxi at her feet.

Ye Xiaoxi was still aggrieved and said, "It's brother bul'lying me."

"Fine, fine, no need for you, I'll go take them off."

She said helplessly while walking.

Just as she walked to the room door, she heard Ye Yaodong's muffled hum.

Ye Chenghu had pulled it twice, but couldn't pull it out. Seeing his father was about to be unable to breathe, he hurriedly let go to let him breathe first.

"Brother, not yet?"

"Can't take it off, the buttons are too tight."

"Use some strength to pull it out?"

"Then together?"

Both brothers sat by Ye Yaodong's head, pulling the shirt. When he couldn't breathe and struggled randomly, they let go...

Lin Xiuqing had just walked in and seen this scene; she was almost dumbfounded.

"What are you doing?"

Both brothers said in unison, "Taking off clothes."

Ye Yaodong was gasping for air, his two hands randomly fumbling with the shirt on his cheeks. However, his consciousness was not clear, only vaguely scolding.

"Suffocating me, going to drown me..."

Lin Xiuqing's head ached. "If I hadn't come in early, your father could go up the mountain tomorrow."

While speaking, she hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover his body.

These two idiots, how did they take off the pants?

Ye Chengyang looked at Ye Chenghu, "What do you mean?"

"Maybe it means carrying him up the mountain to bury him? I heard others scold like that."

Ye Chenghu finished uncertainly and hurriedly explained, "I couldn't untie the buttons, I let him breathe, he won't die."

"You stupid child, coffin child, if I hadn't come in early, your father would have been suffocated by you..."

She took the feather duster on the table and wanted to whip the two stupid children. Both reacted and jumped off the bed, and hurriedly defended themselves.

"Didn't play him to death, he was breathing..."

"Not my business, it's brother's doing..."

"I gave him air... who told the buttons to be too tight... all blame you, clearly you told me to take off his clothes..."

They didn't even have time to put on their shoes. After jumping off the bed barefoot, they ran out hurriedly while talking.

Even though they reacted quickly, they still got a few lashes.

Ye Xiaoxi was satisfied.

Lin Xiuqing stood at the room door and glared at the two, but didn't chase up the stairs.

"Why such a big battle, about to sleep, and still beat them?" Ye's mother asked while wiping the table.

"Fortunately I entered in time. These two didn't even untie the shirt buttons and directly wanted to pull the clothes off from the head. Almost suffocated their father. Don't know what they were doing taking off the pants."

"Then if they were beaten to death, are there such stupid ones?"

"Day by day, I'm going to be angered to death by them."

Lin Xiuqing put down the feather duster, went to fetch hot water first, and incidentally echoed a few words.

Ye Xiaoxi had already climbed onto the bed. It was so late, she had long been sleepy.

Without taking off her clothes and pants, she climbed to Ye Yaodong's side to lie down, covered with a quilt, and didn't forget to pull the quilt higher for her father, and incidentally patted his chest twice to soothe him to sleep.

Lin Xiuqing brought in hot water and saw the father and daughter sleeping together. The shirt stuck on Ye Yaodong's neck was still hanging there.

She went forward to untie the shirt buttons, muttering in her mouth: "If it weren't for your daughter going out and saying two brothers bullied her, and insisting on calling me in, you would have been dying and living in your sleep..."

"Drinking like this, none of them have a sense of proportion, and still have to serve you like an ancestor..."

"Don't have to take a bath when going out, don't even have to wash feet, really smelly to death..."

Ye Yaodong drank too much and didn't know anything, letting her handle it.

Lin Xiuqing just wiped his whole body, soaked his feet, and put on his boxer shorts.

"Not ashamed, the pants were stripped off by the two children like this, not afraid of them running out and talking everywhere. Have to explain to them tomorrow..."

"Really headache, these one by one..."

After she finished cleaning up Ye Yaodong from head to toe and finished working, Ye's mother had also finished working and went out.

She told the old lady to look at the house, and she went to the workshop to patrol, told people to look after the workshop, and then went home to close the doors and windows and lay down.

(Ye Chenghu is relatively stubborn, and in a hurry to go upstairs to sleep, he can't untie the buttonhole after a long time, and he will take it off randomly when he is impatient)

Ye Yaodong was also told by Lin Xiuqing the next day that he was drunk last night, almost played to death by two sons, and streaked.

"So it was my daughter who saved my life!"

"Can say so."

He glared at the two sons gloomily. Both were trembling shoulders in fear. They didn't dare to eat the rice in the bowl anymore. They didn't even dare to say words of defense. Each grabbed a fried dough stick and ran away hurriedly.

"Ran two monks but can't run away from the temple. Wait until I spare my hands, see how I clean you two up."

"I'm not even 30 years old, you want to inherit my legacy? Two rabbit cubs, break your legs..."

The old lady laughed, "Nonsense, no sense of proportion in the early morning, still cursing yourself. Two are still small, don't have that strength, and don't know things."

Lin Xiuqing also said with a smile, "At least they knew, when you couldn't breathe, give you a buffer, let you breathe and then continue to take off clothes."

"They must think I died too easily and want to come back a few more times."

"Who told you to be so drunk."

"How do I know one is stupider than the other? Originally looking at the second one, he was quite smart. Now that dull appearance, definitely all infected by the big one."

After speaking, he touched Ye Xiaoxi's head, "Don't be infected by your two brothers, neither is smart."

Ye Xiaoxi grabbed half a fried dough stick, her mouth covered in oil as she nodded.

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing again, "Forgot to ask you yesterday, was the longline fishing organized and sent over?"

"Sent over the night before yesterday, in the courtyard."

"Good, I'll put the longline fishing down later and come back to send another vehicle to the city."

She nodded, and then remembered something, hurriedly said: "Right, forgot to tell you yesterday, many people in the village said that the squid fishing season is coming soon. I also asked people to cut some tree branches on the mountain yesterday, and they have all been organized. If you go to put the longline fishing later, incidentally put these tree branches back into the sea."

"Good, I was just about to ask you, it's almost time."

Having people in hand is convenient. Many things don't need him to do it himself now. The people below have already prepared properly.

After eating, Ye Yaodong also grabbed a fried dough stick, then went to the workshop to turn around, called people to work, lifted the longline fishing basket by basket onto the flatbed cart and sent it to the boat, and then let them continue to transport the tree branches to the boat.

He stood there chewing the fried dough stick the whole time.

There were also some small businesses in the village this year, some frying fried dough sticks and oil cakes, and some selling steamed buns.

There was no breakfast noodle shop. Who is willing to spend that money? At most, people who go out to sea in the early morning, a small number of people are willing to buy some steamed buns to fill their hunger, and save the family from getting up in the middle of the night to cook.

After there were some breakfast patterns in the village, their family's breakfast was also richer. Lin Xiuqing was also willing to buy some steamed buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks to change the taste for everyone.

When Ye Yaodong drove the boat out to sea and reached the destination, he had already seen his two childhood friends put the tree branches well, and they had conscientiously left him the position he had put before.

And their boat was not around, probably went trawling.

He first said that if he met him, he would scold him first.

Under the reef, a large pile of hundreds of ground cages, at least dozens of rows, don't know how many days they threw them down.

It's almost the squid fishing season. Definitely, some squid will be affected by those ground cages, losing their direction, letting them all drill into the bottom to spawn.

Thinking of this, he scolded again.

This trip today sent kelp to the troops. He doesn't need to go tomorrow, just send people to the warehouse for storage.

When those bosses want a large amount of goods, just let his father-in-law arrange it.

And he should be able to start salvaging those ground cages tomorrow. Just happen to collect ground cages while collecting squid, not affecting each other.

Those ground cages that have existed on the seabed are also non-degradable production waste. Existing here all the time, they may destroy the seabed environment and affect the growth of abalone, sea cucumber, Jiang Yao, etc.

Ye Yaodong was busy for half the morning before he finished all the work on the sea, and then he rushed to pull a vehicle of kelp to the city.

Then, he asked people to drive a vehicle of dried fish with matched goods directly to the troops at the same time.

With his glib tongue, plus the many advantages of kelp being cheap, the troops accepted it without accident.

Mainly because there were so many people, consumption was large, and a few tons were nothing.

Ye Yaodong also incidentally asked the logistics officer of the troops. The troops recruit soldiers in September, but registration is in June-August. This time will also complete the physical examination.

He inquired in detail and also kept it in his heart.

It's May now, just next month's matter. It just so happens that Lin Guangyuan will have summer vacation next month. Let him go to register just after summer vacation.

Now he has also moved to the city to live, and it is very convenient to ride a bicycle to register.

After returning, he also told Lin Guangyuan who just returned from school. He was immediately like being injected with chicken blood, excited and threw his schoolbag directly.

"Really, little uncle?"

"Why lie to you? Just sent goods to the troops today, incidentally inquired and asked."

"That's great, we've finally made it through the hard times."

"When sending goods next month, let them pay attention for you, see which month it is, and then you go to register."

"Good good."

He clenched his fists and gestured back and forth, very happy, and also turned two somersaults, looking very secondary.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "I'm leaving, wait until summer vacation to pick you up to play at home for two days, and then..."

"No need for summer vacation, tomorrow is Sunday, I will go home with you now."

"You also want to go home with me for one day? If you go home with me, you have to work for me."

The other two children also hurriedly said: "Little uncle, we also want to work for you..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the three from high to low, all looking at him eagerly, and shook his head directly. Although he would still ask people to send a vehicle of kelp tomorrow.

"Don't want to do your own work every day, all want to work for me. Your parents are still counting on you to help in the shop, don't think about it. Lin Guangyuan is going to be a soldier after summer vacation, so I thought about picking him up to play for a few days."

All three were disappointed.

"Hurry up and do homework, I also have to go back quickly."

"It's almost 4 o'clock, don't you eat dinner before going back?" Lin Guangyuan asked.

"No, it will be too late to leave."

All three children watched him leave with disappointment.

At this time, it was not meal time yet. Lin's father and mother didn't come back after the shop closed, but were helping Lin Xiang Hui's breakfast shop to process the ingredients and meat stuffing to be used tomorrow.

Ye Yaodong also just went to the shop to greet them, explained some things to his father-in-law, and that he would pull a vehicle of kelp over as usual tomorrow, and then hurriedly left.

Don't think that being at home is enjoying happiness, it will be more comfortable than at sea, actually it is not.

In the past few days, he has been like a spinning top, busy spinning around, constantly running back and forth. For the kelp matter in the 1st year, he felt that it was necessary for him to arrange it personally.

But the better point than at sea is that he can eat well and sleep well.

A young body is full of energy. No matter how hard the day is, as long as you rest well at night and sleep for one night, you can be full of energy and alive the next day.

Ye Yaodong pointed two people who could drive the tractor early the next day, pulled a vehicle of kelp collected last night to the city, and called two strong people to go out to sea with him.

Although they hadn't been in the water, they were young, and he felt they could be cultivated. Try more, if not suitable, change them when they come back.

And the two who were named to go out to sea were a bit excited. They had been working in the workshop and hadn't been taken out to sea yet.

They were also expanded at the end of last year, only taught to drive the tractor, and others were just moving and lifting in the workshop, incidentally bottling fish sauce.

And being able to learn to drive the tractor was already satisfied for them. This is a skill, and it is also a technical worker. In the past, it was not everyone who could drive a tractor in the production team.

Ye Yaodong's purpose of going out to sea today was mainly to salvage the ground cages on the seabed. Collecting longline fishing was just incidental, and collecting squid should be a matter of the afternoon.

Although it was just May, the temperature rose a little, but the seawater was still very cold, but who wouldn't do it if the wages were increased?

The two who went out to sea were eager to try as soon as they heard that there was a wage subsidy for going into the water. They didn't want to collect longline fishing, and wished they could jump down immediately.

After collecting longline fishing, Ye Yaodong also told them about the situation under the water and the precautions for going into the water, and let them do warm-up exercises in advance.

He planned to take one himself and let Chen Shi take one. After all, they had experience. Taking one down each was safer. If there was any sudden situation, they could immediately bring people up.

After preparing, he also explained his commonly used gestures, such as what OK means, and then took people to jump down.

Both shivered together, and at the same time stayed on the sea surface to adapt for a while. Ye Yaodong gestured OK, and after getting a response, the two jumped down together.

"Brother Dong is too powerful..."

Chen Shi also nodded in great agreement.

"Can get anything, can earn any money, too powerful..."

"Now various things about him are circulating everywhere. The village of my relatives knows that our village's kelp had a bumper harvest and sold it to Brother Dong and earned a lot of money, and they all thought about following to do it next year if there is a bumper harvest."

"Dongdong brother... is... powerful!"

Ye Yaodong was afraid that the newcomer would feel uncomfortable if he went too deep, so he didn't dare to go too deep. He just circled the reef first, planning to start from the ground cages stuck on the reef.

Now the tide began to ebb, the water level dropped, and some reefs were exposed. Under the water, they only went down to the position of four or five meters, and they could see some ground cages hanging at the bottom.

He couldn't care about the stunned appearance of the person beside him, first circled around a small piece of reef, and then signaled the person beside him to move together.

A row of ground cages has about 10, quite long. Sometimes not all 10 are hanging at the bottom and hooked, but if one is hooked, others can't be collected.

He could only start from the nearest one.

The ground cages in front were full of fish, shrimp and crabs, and he saw several small green dragons with colorful shells.

He estimated that as long as all the ground cages in a row could be collected, the harvest would be at least several hundred jin.

Wanting to pull the fishing net away from the reef directly is very easy to tear the fishing net directly, so that the fish goods of a whole cage will explode.

He could only swim carefully and untie the hooked fishing net.

The novice Chen Guodong beside him was shocked, then returned to his senses, and also followed to help.

The two were busy on the seabed, and fish and shrimp kept passing by them from their side.

Ye Yaodong looked at some small green dragons shrinking in the reef crevices, a bit itchy, but no matter what, he had to press down first, and after these fishing nets were sorted up, they would have more space to approach and salvage these goods.

After being busy for a while, they rescued a ground cage, and then pulled the next one along the rope.

However, the ground cage he just rescued seemed to have only 3 connected, unlike a normal row that could have 10 ground cages, and one was not hanging at the bottom. After rescuing two, this string could be pulled up.

He gestured to the novice Chen Guodong. After getting a response, both grabbed the rope at one end of the ground cage and swam up. Although it was very heavy, there was buoyancy in the water, and it was only four or five meters away from the water surface.

They also spent some effort to pull the rope of the ground cage out of the water surface.

"Brother Dong, it's up, is there a harvest?"

Both swam to the fishing boat. After being pulled up, Ye Yaodong said: "Hang this rope on the net machine to collect ground cages. This one has three, it should be hanging at the bottom, no way to collect it up, they directly took scissors to cut it, and gave up the one in the sea."

"That's great, it can be collected up all at once."

"When you go down later, try to pull the ground cages that have been cut, otherwise a row of 10, full of goods inside, might not be able to pull up."

"Good."

"First pick around the reef. Around it should be the ones that have been cut and abandoned, and it's only four or five meters away from the water surface, not very deep, safer."

"Understood."

Ye Yaodong looked at the machine stirring to pull the ground cage out of the water surface, and then they had to pull it up manually.

"Wow, so many goods?"

Chen Guodong, who went down for the first time, listened to Yaodong's instructions and didn't dare to interrupt. Only then did he find a chance to speak.

He said excitedly: "More than that, every ground cage has so many goods, full of them, just went down into the water and was stunned. Never seen ground cages collect so many goods."

"Eyes were straight, around the reef are all ground cages, and there are small green dragons, many small green dragons hiding in the crevices..."

"And abalone, many abalones on the reef, more than the rice in my house, some are very large, too amazing, I thought I was dreaming, all shocked me, so many..."

"You didn't see it, don't know how many good things, too many, no wonder Brother Dong still specifically went into the water to salvage, this net is at least one or two hundred jin..."

"Don't know how Brother Dong found such a good place, there are so many goods under the water, opened eyes, and many fish and shrimp swimming around me..."

He kept talking about what he saw under the water, exclaiming extremely.

And the first ground cage was also pulled up, dropped on the deck. Except for the first few grids, the back was crowded, full of goods, just looking at it, it didn't move.

But everyone's face also looked at it with joy.

"Are these ground cages stuck at the bottom for a long time? Otherwise how can they be so full?"

"Right right right."

"Many ground cages at the bottom, don't know who is so stupid, actually put the ground cages at the reef. Isn't this clearly having no return? As long as it doesn't hang at the bottom, Mazu is his own mother..."

Ye Yaodong patted him, "Nonsense, can Mazu be used to joke?"

"Hehe, I just made a metaphor."

"Hurry up and continue collecting, there are two more behind."

He squatted down to untie the net bag first, and pour out the fish goods first.

This ground cage probably hung in the sea for several months. There are many wear marks on the fishing net. Probably the sea water surged, making the ground cage sway, rubbing against the reef, causing the fishing net to wear out.

After pouring out a whole net of fish goods, it was very impressive. He estimated it should be over a hundred jin. Some could still move, but most of the goods were smelly, the shrimp heads were black, and a few small green dragons didn't move.

He grabbed it and checked it, smelled the smelly seafood smell at the tip of his nose, and threw it away directly.

"Pity, pick it up, should also have some harvest."

"Came, collected up..."

Ye Yaodong let it aside and let them get the fishing net up.

Three consecutive nets of goods were collected up, piled on the deck like a small mountain, with a few small green dragons and some crabs, when the fishing net was untied, immediately crawled around the deck.

"Brother Dong, small green dragon, several small green dragons..."

"And green crabs............ have six."

"Thought these goods were all smelly, didn't expect there were still many alive..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the few running around the deck and was also satisfied. With these few, even if others were broken, it was not in vain.

Mainly, these fishing nets were collected up, some could be reused, and it wouldn't affect his collecting abalone and catching small green dragon sea cucumber.

"You two continue to go down, try not to go too deep, just around the reef. We will pick here first."

"Good Brother Dong."

Both jumped into the water, and learned from their previous appearance.

Ye Yaodong watched for a while, and after watching their heads go into the water, he also squatted down to organize these goods.

Chen Guodong had already taken the basket to pack.

"Brother Dong, I admire you too much, you are too powerful, this place can be found, no wonder you are so famous, your name has been spread everywhere."

"Don't blow it, don't know how much can be salvaged."

"So many goods, more than half of the dead are worth it, and can let the reef be empty to catch abalone! That is abalone! So big! And small green dragon!"

"Rest assured, there is work for you to do. Just those ground cages at the bottom can let you work for a month."

"Can't wait, too long to see, didn't expect the water bottom to be like this, what to do with these smelly fish?"

"Throw it back into the sea, what else can be done?" ===== CHAPTER 1247 =====
