Chapter 304: Pulling the shipwreck machine

~12 min read 2,246 words

After returning home, Lin Xiuqing was surprised.

"Back? So fast?"

"Then how long do you want me to be?"

She said unhappily, "Didn't you go to the literacy class? Why are you back so fast?"

"No, I went out to buy cigarettes and strolled around by the way."

"You need a bicycle to buy cigarettes? Why are your legs so expensive?"

"Isn't it? 200 meters is a long distance."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes. Listening to his nonsense made her mood a bit more relaxed, diluting the tension that had been a bit nervous all along. She touched her belly, really hoping to give birth quickly, so as not to have long nights and many dreams.

Ye Yaodong looked at her stroking action and comforted her, "Don't worry, persistence is victory!"

"Mm."

Because of the day's events, Ye Yaodong didn't go to sea at night.

The next morning, he heard the house building next door talking enthusiastically about how more than a dozen people were caught gambling in the neighboring village yesterday, all from the surrounding villages.

"Caught well, they are all a group of rotten gamblers, they should all be caught and taken away..."

"Better to close them for a few more days..."

"It seems like a few were caught in our village too..."

He felt a bit relieved after hearing this. For gathering to gamble, squatting for ten days or half a month is still necessary.

What they lack now is time. If they survive this period safely, they will succeed.

After Lin Xiuqing heard Ye Yaodong say that cousin-in-law was caught gambling, she felt relieved. "Should be able to close for a few days, right?"

"Now it's a crackdown, minor mistakes are severely punished, closing for ten days or half a month is necessary, and a sum of money must be fined."

Hearing this, she was instantly overjoyed. "That's great, then we can be clean for a while. It's too coincidental, just gave money in the evening yesterday, and immediately heard that he was caught."

Speaking of this, she paused instantly, associating that just after the person went out, Adong followed closely, and then after a long while, he came back and rode his bicycle out...

"Did you report it?" she asked in a low voice.

Ye Yaodong nodded.

If his legs were broken, he could still instruct people. It's better not to send him in. Sending him in can win more time.

Beating people can be done at any time.

And just after coming to the door to extort, he was beaten, which is easy to associate with him. It's quite good to send him to close for ten days or half a month.

Lin Xiuqing said angrily, "Only closed for a few days, it's cheap for him."

"Wait until you give birth safely, then teach him a lesson," Ye Yaodong touched her belly and muttered, "You be more promising, come out quickly."

"Soon soon..."

Waiting at home for two more days, Ye Yaodong, who had been calm all along, was also relieved.

These two days, he was idle and had nothing to do, so he went to Lin Jishang's house by the way, wanting to ask about the net hauler, but was told by his wife that he was not at home.

Thinking about it, he had to slow down and come back to see in a few days.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jishang sent what he wanted over the next night.

"This machine is heavy, takes up space, and is unpopular. There are no such small appliances to get, everyone is not willing to bring it, so it was dragged until now. You try it tomorrow."

"Many thanks."

He pulled two cigarettes for each of the younger brothers who helped lift the machine, and everyone was taken care of.

Speaking of which, his cigarette consumption was a bit fast, and his pocket money was all spent on this.

Seeing that he was quite good at being a human, Lin Jishang didn't mind helping a little more. "Do you want to lift it onto the boat by the way?"

"Ah, that would be even better."

"Mm, it's a matter of convenience, anyway, the manpower is ready-made."

As they interacted, both had a tacit understanding.

After lifting it onto the boat and trying the operation by the way, Ye Yaodong went back to get money after there was no problem.

He couldn't wait to go to sea at night.

After Ye Fu saw the net hauler, he was extremely surprised.

"Where did you get this?"

"Why do you care where I got it? Anyway, it's effortless. I've been exhausted these days."

"Just your hands and feet are expensive, who isn't like this? How much does this machine cost?"

"Don't ask, just use it."

If he said it, he would be scolded again, so he wouldn't say it.

"Not cheap, right? Hundreds?"

"It can be used for many years, it's cost-effective."

Seeing that he wouldn't say how much it cost, Ye Fu nagged a few more times about the prodigal son and didn't ask anymore.

After trying to pull up a net with the machine, Ye Fu was also happy. "This is much more effortless, and the load-bearing capacity is not bad."

"Of course, otherwise why spend this money? Isn't it just to suffer less? And using a machine is much faster than pulling by manpower."

Ye Yaodong said while untying the fishing net, dumping all the goods inside onto the deck. Because it was too dense and there was too much cargo, the fish were all crushed to death, but most of the crabs and mantis shrimp were still jumping, and could still jump.

The father and son quickly sorted the fishing nets, then excitedly continued to put them down, then one drove the boat, and one sorted.

In order to trawl more cargo at once, Ye Yaodong deliberately worked a little longer for the second net, and then hauled the net.

Under the pulling force of the net hauler, the mouth of the net on the sea surface began to tighten gradually. After it was completely tightened, as the pulling force became larger and larger, the fishing net was slowly dragged out of the water.

They also clearly saw that the whole bag in the fishing net was white pomfret!

Unexpectedly, the second net exploded directly. They encountered a school of white pomfret. One bag pulled up over 100 jin, making Ye Fu unable to close his mouth with joy.

Fishermen trawling like encountering schools of fish the most.

"White pomfret is good, white pomfret is good, the size of this bag is not small."

Ye Yaodong was also happy and dumped them all out, fiddling with them slightly. "This net of white pomfret is at least five taels, all large white pomfret."

"Then continue to put it in this area."

"Alright."

After putting down two more nets in succession, the quantity was less later, and there were more sundries, but it was really much more effortless, without having to pull and drag for a long time.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Yaodong went to the reef to collect the ground cages in advance. When he went to sea at night, he usually set a row of ground cages to the reef.

Wool must be sheared hard. Sea cucumbers are so expensive, absolutely cannot be missed.

It was just that the first ground cage today was stuck and couldn't be pulled.

"I'll go down and see, and by the way, tie up the diesel engine below, and pull it up with the machine later."

Ye Fu frowned. "Then be careful, find the ground cage first, then go tie the machine."

"Got it."

Ye Yaodong brought his equipment again. After a simple warm-up, he dove into the water. He skipped the fish and shrimp he saw on the way and went straight to the seabed to save time.

Today's ground cages were easy to find because he set them densely.

As soon as he went down, he saw four stuck in a row, two stuck in the reef crevice, one hooked by the coral reef, and one hooked by the sharp top of the reef.

The four were a bit far apart, but fortunately, they were quite easy to find. When he went down, he saw them after circling around.

He rescued the ground cages one by one and put them aside, and by the way, looked at the harvest inside. There were many and few, basically all fish, and there were a few small lobsters.

There were also ground cages that were not stuck in the seabed position not far away. The ground cages that sank on the seabed silt had more sea cucumbers inside. After all, sea cucumbers moved slowly.

These were left waiting for his father to pull them up. He swam straight to the shipwreck in the distance, straight to the theme.

Then he put down the rope on his back and tied the diesel engine tightly.

Activities in the sea are not as good as on the shore. It took a long time to tie the machine tightly, and he was exhausted and panting, but thinking that the net bag at his waist was still empty, he came down from the shipwreck again and swam to the seabed.

Just happened to see a chubby sea cucumber being tightly hugged by a starfish.

This is still okay!

Violent waste of heavenly things.

He reached out and picked up the starfish and threw it aside, then picked up the sea cucumber. It should be that it hadn't had time to enjoy it, and this sea cucumber was still intact.

After receiving it in the net bag, he slowly moved to the side of the reef.

Prying abalone is more effortless, no need to look everywhere. Recently, there have been tasks for several dives, and the coming and going are a bit hurried, and there is not so much free time for him to slowly look for sea cucumbers, so he can only fill as much as possible.

But his fiery eyes also allowed him to catch two from the seaweed bushes next to him.

When the net bag was seven-tenths full, he was almost reaching his limit.

He quickly returned to the shipwreck, pulled the rope in his hand, and floated up rapidly, just seeing a ground cage beside him, also pulling up, floating out of the water together.

Having seen him go into the water several times, Ye Fu was much less worried today and only asked with concern, "How is it, are they all tied up? The ground cages were pulled smoothly today, but the first one was stuck, and there was no more stuck later."

"That's because I just untied all the stuck ground cages, otherwise how could it be so smooth? Below is a reef."

He said while climbing up, and temporarily tied the rope for tying the machine, pulled the net bag up first, and dumped the goods into the basket.

Ye Fu glanced at it and saw that they were all abalone. There was no disappointed emotion, but he was not very happy. This was seen too much, not fresh, not surprising...

"Wait, collect the last two ground cages, then pull the machine."

Ye Yaodong nodded, leaving the ground cages to his father to work, he went to hang the rope on the net hauler first, and made the preparations in advance.

After Ye Fu freed his hands, he started the machine.

The rope was slowly rolled up section by section. As the pulling force increased, the net hauler also began to make a tight sound, which made Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu, who had been paying attention, stretch their necks to look at the sea.

After a while, a machine tied with five flowers and three ropes slowly floated to the water surface. The father and son excitedly gathered to the side, and when pulling ashore, they also helped lift it.

After the machine fell steadily onto the deck, the two were relieved.

"Fortunately, there is a net hauler, otherwise we couldn't pull it up by manpower, and we would have to call more people."

"After going back, call a master to come to the door to clean it, and see if it can still be used."

"Mm, it's a pity that the boat can't be salvaged."

"It's not bad to be able to salvage this machine, let's go, collect the longlines, and go back early."

On the way back, they encountered Hearing Xiao Xiao and Azheng again. It turned out that they were working in the sea area not far from them.

After greeting each other and chatting about how the harvest was, everyone went back together.

When they reached the shore, they also encountered A-Guang's boat docking at the same time. The three boats were parked side by side. Everyone's harvest was quite good, and the deck was full of baskets of fish. Everyone's face was filled with a smile of a big harvest.

The brothers who were originally waste together all drove boats. Ye Yaodong was happy from the bottom of his heart. ===== CHAPTER 305 =====
