~11 min read 2,101 words

The father and son shopped for an afternoon, ordered more than ten quilts, and more than forty sets of cotton clothes, which was considered a big deal.

When going back in the evening, chatting with others, other boat captains also planned, and will book when they have a rest in the near future.

Tomorrow still have to go to sea as usual, otherwise one day not going is one day's loss, unless the wind and waves don't allow it, otherwise really can't rest.

There are so many people in the port here, and one can imagine that when winter arrives, the demand for warm things is also very large, and it will definitely rise in price. Recently, while it is not completely cold, it is better to book early.

Ye Yaodong organized the photos he washed out during this period, there are various big fish, there are also busy scenes on the dock, there are photos of their dozens of boats sailing on the sea, and there are even more individual photos of them on the boat.

He didn't just take pictures for himself, others' boat workers also had one or two pictures taken.

Being away from home, one will always think of taking a few pictures to leave a souvenir later, and he is not stingy. When he takes pictures, he will also take two for others by the way.

Others also said to let him bring them back by the way.

He packed them all into an envelope. After eating dinner, looking at the time, he went to the agreed OK hall.

Just at the door of a new house, he heard the music coming from inside, the sound insulation effect was extremely poor.

It was not that anyone was singing, just playing music, probably only 7 o'clock, it was not long after dark, and the nightlife had just begun.

He glanced at the colorful big iron sign on the top of his head, pushed the door and walked in, and the sound of the music was even louder.

Zhang Rensu was already sitting inside and waved at him.

Ye Yaodong looked around. Rather than saying this is an OK hall, it is better to say that it is just a place with a few tables and a set of singing equipment, with a dance floor in the middle. It might be more appropriate to say it is a dance hall.

He walked towards Zhang Rensu's group. There were already five or six men and women sitting there. Not long after he sat down, someone pushed the door and walked in, and walked towards them.

Zhang Rensu introduced them one by one. He was basically familiar with them, having seen them before. They were all his cousins, and only a few friends didn't know them.

He hadn't seen the women, saying they were friends called out to play together, and none of them were wives.

Ye Yaodong understood as soon as he heard it, they were all out to play.

He also introduced him to everyone, and boasted, saying that he spanned two provinces, was a famous boss and boat captain, had dozens of big boats under his hand, hundreds of workers, factory buildings in both provinces, and was also the president...

Ye Yaodong just smiled and was humble for two sentences. What can't be done in acting and boasting?

And after Zhang Rensu boasted for him, those men and women were much more enthusiastic about him, and he drank several glasses of wine.

There were even girls who took the initiative to sit beside him and chat and tease him.

"Take good care of my friend, have fun tonight."

Everyone responded happily, and the atmosphere became lively, and some started singing.

Ye Yaodong also handed the photo envelope to Zhang Rensu, asking him to take it to his factory if he passed by, and someone would naturally send it to his home.

Then he toasted a few more glasses of wine, and he was pulled by the girl on the side to ask questions and pour wine. Not long after, another one sat over, and he was sandwiched between two girls.

He knew he was good-looking, and he also smiled and accompanied the two to chat and drink as much as he wanted.

Of course, this is definitely not drinking flower wine, just a gathering of friends, everyone is very regular, at most hooking shoulders and talking and laughing.

Until midnight, after someone left, Ye Yaodong also took the opportunity to say hello, saying that he was going to sea early in the morning and left first.

Didn't expect the two girls to come out to send him off, and wanted to make an appointment with him to play out tomorrow night. He just shook his head and refused, only saying that he was going to sea tomorrow and would stay at sea for the next few days.

He heard that some boat captains who made a living in this port in recent years also married a wife here and settled down.

Equivalent to a home in the hometown and a home here, and there are quite a few.

Some women don't mind, as long as there is money.

He didn't have this idea. Maybe he won't come next year. It's okay to come out as a friend to play and be happy.

Ye Yaodong came out half drunk and half awake, blew the wind for a while, and after sobering up, he took the main road and ran home quickly.

He is alone now, walking slowly, who knows what will happen on the way, go all out, run home quickly, and it can be safer.

Fortunately, it was safe and sound, and didn't meet anyone on the way.

Just when he was close to home, closer to the dock, he met some people who had finished selling goods and were talking and laughing, and some who were singing and shopping in the red light district and talking dirty words.

Ye Fu was dozing at the door, and only woke up after hearing Ye Yaodong call him.

"Why are you still sitting at the door so late?"

"Isn't it worried that you can't come back? Don't go next time, in the middle of the night, how dangerous is it to be alone?"

"Oh, I ran back directly, it's okay."

"If I didn't know where the place was, and everyone was asleep, I would have wanted to take people out to find you. Don't go alone next time."

"Got it, go into the house to sleep."

Ye Yaodong hooked his father's shoulder and walked into the house, listening to his father's dissatisfied and worried nagging, and fell asleep as soon as he fell.

The next day, he immediately went to sea again, but only went for three or four days before receiving the typhoon warning notice from the broadcast. Even if they felt that the wind and waves could still be borne, they still returned to the port directly after discussion, not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of what if.

Ye Yaodong only felt unlucky. His pocket was empty, and he was thinking about going out a few more times to earn more money, and another typhoon formed.

More than a dozen typhoons of all sizes a year, and it can continue until National Day every year, which is depressing enough.

However, this trip also earned a sum, which just eased it. There were six or seven thousand yuan in hand, and there was money to pay the final payment when taking the quilts and cotton clothes in a few days.

Except for just being reborn, he hadn't felt that the money in his hands was so tight. Fortunately, everyone's salary was pressed, no need to pay now, at most advance some for those who spend money lavishly.

Just in time for the typhoon to return to the port, he could also go to the shipyard to watch that cargo ship when he rested at home.

He chose the largest one in the local area, which is a state-owned shipyard, and heard that it also undertakes national key engineering projects and national defense construction tasks.

Don't know if it's true or if people are boasting, but the scale is obvious to all.

Before deciding, he also inquired that some big boats in the local port basically came from this big factory, and other small factories could only take the work of manufacturing or maintenance of small and medium-sized fishing boats.

In recent years, our country's economic system has transformed to a market economy. Small and medium-sized shipbuilding enterprises that are not state-owned have appeared in some big port places. In this port city, they are springing up like mushrooms, and many are foreign capital.

But even if they take the work of manufacturing and maintenance of small and medium-sized fishing boats, it makes those factories flourish.

Choosing a state-owned shipyard also has a guarantee. The sophisticated instruments in his cockpit are imported. If they are put in a small factory, they might be dismantled for him, and then he will cry without a place to cry.

State-owned big factories can have some guarantee, and when he handed the boat to the factory, he also took a photo, just in case, and it can also be used as evidence.

Taking advantage of the typhoon break, he can also have time to go a few more times to stare.

After returning to the port, the dock was endless, and there were all kinds of fishing boats of various sizes and shapes.

This place is also a shelter. At this time, the fishing boats have all returned, and thousands of fishing boats are full of fishing ports, which is also a grand occasion that cannot be seen on weekdays.

After they sold the goods and returned home to deal with some scattered goods that no one wanted, Ye Yaodong said: "I'll sleep for a while, and go to the shipyard after waking up."

"Call home first, didn't you entrust someone to mail photos back two days ago? Call and ask, it has been a week since the last Mid-Autumn Festival without calling."

"That's fine, by the way, ask if the typhoon has any impact on the family."

Speaking of this, Ye Yaodong remembered again: "It was magical to call during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no one at home asked me about buying a boat."

"It should not have been passed back yet. Everyone's phone calls probably only have time to talk about their own situation, enough for a minute and then hang up, no time to talk about your business."

"Maybe, that's the best. When going back, if there is money left, no one will scold."

Ye Fu nodded.

However, the two were a bit optimistic. Paper can't wrap fire.

Everyone outside knows that he borrowed tens of thousands to buy a 100,000 boat.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone took turns calling home to report safety, only talking about the festival.

Now it's typhoon weather, not long since the last call, there is not so much to talk about, after asking if the typhoon has any impact, his buying a boat naturally exposed.

By the time he woke up in the afternoon and went, most people had already called home.

When he and his father just waited for the phone to be connected, only had time to say "Hello", they were scolded bloody.

"Heard you borrowed money to buy a 100,000 boat? Still owe tens of thousands, what boat 'Suzuki' costs 100,000, is it made of gold?"

"The old one is confused, the small one is also confused? Still borrowed tens of thousands, money is not money, tens of thousands are enough for the whole family to spend for a lifetime, actually stuck on the boat, how many boats do you have..."

"100,000, 100,000 yuan, you two are not managed outside, so messy..."

"Buying a boat with so much money, you can buy a shipyard at home. Crazy, didn't earn money outside, still owe a debt, how much money did you owe..."

Ye Yaodong's ears were shocked, the phone was held far away, looking at his father...

"Give the phone to your father!"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly picked up the phone, pressed it against his father's ear, his father wanted to shake it off, he pressed his father's head and let him answer.

Also leaned close to the phone and said: "My father said it can be bought, I asked him..."

Ye Fu struggled. "What are you doing..."

Dead friends don't die poor.
