Chapter 529: Go to town

Although Ye Yaodong envied A-Guang and the others for being able to rest for a whole winter, he also thought about lying flat in his heart, but he was also afraid that he would rest out his laziness.

This has not yet reached his ideal retirement age of 40. The goal is set, so he still has to work harder.

Moreover, the time to go out to sea in winter is not much, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, so he can barely continue to do it, earn more money so he can buy a few more boats, be a boat boss, and retire early.

But this boat is really not easy to find, hard to buy.

Let his father inquire for a month and there is no place to buy it. The 30-meter one rented by the salvage team later also heard that it was bought by several people together.

However, even if it is still there, he can't buy it. It is too expensive, the cost is large, and he has to empty all the family background to buy it. If there is anything, it is not easy to transfer.

He didn't have such a big ambition originally, still thinking about being steady, taking steps one by one, and can't become a big fat man in one bite.

If there is no suitable boat at the end of the year, he might ask two masters to build a boat, or order one at the shipyard. This new one can also order a larger size, and the cabin can also be larger, which is convenient for sleeping, so that he can run to the deep sea for a few days, without staying in the near sea for fishing.

In this day and age, personal financial ability is not strong, shipbuilding technology is also limited, there are few boats running in the deep sea, and those that have are also official salvage teams, and the resources of the deep sea are not comparable to the near sea. Now the resources of the near sea are still quite sufficient, and the deep sea is even more so.

He doesn't have such great ambitions to engage in ocean-going, at least not now. Ocean-going ships move hundreds or thousands of tons, he dare not imagine, and the technology is not mature now, but he still has ideas about the deep sea.

Round trip once every few days, it doesn't delay his wife and children to be warm on the kang and take care of the family.

Thinking quite well, but still have to take care of the present.

The next day, taking advantage of the wind, he took the old lady to the town to match a pair of reading glasses, and by the way, bought some white thread to make sticky nets, and bought it back to ask someone to do it.

It just happens to do it in these few days, and it can go out to sea to set nets after the wind and waves pass in two days.

The old lady held her reading glasses, kept putting them on and taking them off, kept exhaling a breath at her mouth, and then wiped them with a lens cloth.

"Don't wipe it, it's clean enough, put it away first, save it from being squeezed by people coming and going and falling to the ground and stepping on it, then the money will be wasted."

"Hey good, wait until you take it back and wear it to see." The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Just looked in the mirror, it feels quite good, right?"

"Definitely. Dragon gives birth to dragon, phoenix gives birth to phoenix, I am so handsome, which shows that the inheritance is good, I am your grandson, which shows that your foundation is not bad."

"Are you praising yourself, or praising me? You will coax me to be happy, I am full of white hair, and my face is more wrinkled than tree bark."

"Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. Praising me is equal to praising you, praising you is equal to praising me, we are called win-win."

The old lady was coaxed by him to be overjoyed, and felt that he was becoming more and more cultured, "If I knew earlier, I shouldn't have followed you when you were young, let you drop out of school, look at you, only went to literacy class for a few days, and you are so cultured when you speak. If you read for a few more years, maybe you would have graduated from university and been an official for several years."

"That is to say, why didn't you stop me a little bit at that time? Sigh~ maybe I don't have to work hard to fish."

The old lady shook her head, "It's not that you are not promising. You were only ten years old at that time, just like a demon king, no one's words were listened to, and you didn't go to class all day, just went to the mountains and the sea with those friends of yours and couldn't find anyone, so your mother went directly to refund the tuition."

Ye Yaodong touched his nose. He had long forgotten the things when he was young, only remembered the vicissitudes of middle and old age. After all, it didn't take long, and the old lady's memory was quite good.

"Don't remember, let's go, it just happens to be at the door of the photo studio, let's go in and take two, with glasses and without glasses."

Speaking of taking photos, the old lady didn't object. Looking at the photos posted on the door of the old photo studio, she nodded happily, and walked in beside him.

"Take one is enough, it just happens to be hung on the wall as a relic photo, wait until I am gone, you can also look at it when you offer incense to me occasionally."

"What are you talking about? Taking photos is to leave your own beautiful moments. When you look back after a few years, it is full of memories."

"Good, good..."

The old lady also knew that the words she said subconsciously were a bit unlucky, and hurriedly said something nice, "Take it now, wait until I am 100 years old, take it out and look at it, see what the difference is, wait until I am 100 years old, bring me to take photos again, keep it as a souvenir."

Ye Yaodong was satisfied and said: "Mm, yes, 100 years old must come for a few photos, wait until the end of the year, then our whole family will take a family portrait, neat and tidy."

"Good."

The old lady leaned on a cane, smiled brightly, her face was ruddy, and her spirit was good, even the photo studio boss felt that she had a good spirit, and smiled and said: "Wait until the old lady is one hundred years old, you bring her to take photos again, I won't charge money, free to take a few."

"Really?" The old lady was very happy, didn't expect to be able to come for free photos when she lived to be one hundred years old.

"Then I have to work hard, work hard to live, and come to find you to take photos then."

"Good, good."

Ye Yaodong was also very happy that this boss knew how to be a person, and couldn't help asking: "Can I ask you to come to the door to take photos?"

"Okay, living to a hundred years old is a happy event."

"No, I mean can I ask you to come to the door to take a family portrait at the end of the year?"

"Can, just have to add some money."

"This is easy to say, it should be."

Adding some money can save the trouble of dragging the family out to take photos, which can save a lot of things.

After taking the photos and making an appointment for when to come to the door to get the photos, Ye Yaodong let the old lady wait at the door, and he went to the fishing gear store to get the white nylon thread for making fishing nets.

Bought it in advance and left it in the store, so as not to carry it everywhere, which is inconvenient.

Two full sacks, he carried them with a shoulder pole, although the nylon thread is relatively light, but the quantity is large, and the solid sack is also very heavy.

The old lady watched him walk over, hurriedly took the hot oil cake she just bought and gave it to him to eat, "It's almost noon, don't know when the car will wait, you hurry up and eat one to pad your stomach, I specifically asked the boss to add oyster stuffing, it's hot and delicious."

"Then don't you have to add two cents to him?"

Really willing!

"Yes, your mother hasn't had time to dig oysters for more than half a year, and your wife hasn't had time, you haven't eaten it for a long time."

Ye Yaodong smiled and took a bite of her hand, "In the first two months when I was fishing for jellyfish in Zhejiang Province, the second sister-in-law dug every day, and we ate it every day."

"Hey hey, that's good."

He felt that the old lady probably wanted to eat it too.

"It just happens that these few days are suitable for drying dry goods, where should I go to a small island to get some shellfish back to dig meat and dry it?"

"Earning money is important, wait until you are not busy, when you are free, then busy, the family is not short of this bite to eat."

"Mm."

Responding in his mouth, he also thought in his heart that these dry goods at home don't seem to have much left, although they don't eat every day, they can't stand the consumption, occasionally stir-fry a bowl or sprinkle a little when cooking noodles, it's almost bottomed out.

Taking advantage of the autumn and winter weather suitable for drying dry goods, it is just right to get more back to eat slowly. The daily taste of people by the sea cannot be separated from fish and seafood.

The grandmother and grandson waited for the car on the side of the road, chatting one sentence after another. Ye Yaodong kept asking her if there was anything else she wanted to buy? It just happens to buy it together, it is rare to come to the town once, etc.

The old lady kept shaking her head and waving her hands saying no.

He didn't force it, no is no, anyway, there is food and clothing now, and the elderly have no other needs.

Just forgot to bring food for the children, and it just happens to be the weekend, all at home, and they made a fuss when they went back, almost taking a whip to beat them one by one.

One by one, they are used to it. As long as he goes out, they think about whether to bring something back for them. It is time to beat them.

However, he seems to have no prestige in front of this group of children. When he took out the whip, they had already scattered like birds and beasts and ran away.

"Stinky boy, fortunately ran fast, otherwise the butt will be opened for me, more and more no big or small. Why do you have to take a holiday on the weekend, give them 28 days a month, and rest for two days, it is just that the days are too comfortable now."

"When I was young, I had to go to the mountains to work and beat pig grass during the day, create production, and go to class at night. How can they be so comfortable now."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, "Are you sure you have worked hard to create production? Did you go to class well at night?"

She hooked a thread with her right little finger, and the two long iron hairpins in her hand kept moving back and forth. The wool rolled yesterday afternoon had already been knitted for nearly seven or eight centimeters long this morning.

She didn't have to look down, her technique was particularly skilled, only occasionally looking down, or stopping to look after one row was knitted and changing to the other side.

The busyness in her hands didn't affect her chatting at all.

"Cut~ anyway, they don't have to help earn work points now, just play, cool to death."

"Half a catty and eight taels, don't talk about them, who should I ask to knit this fishing net? Simply wait until you go to the neighbor's house to ask the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law if they want to knit? Anyway, they are idle, and they are knitting nets there all day, if they don't do it, then call someone else?"

While talking, she finished knitting a row, and used an iron hairpin to scratch her hair, and then changed sides and continued.

"Also."

Ye Yaodong also touched the small section of sweater she knitted, feeling quite soft, "When will you knit one for me too?"

"Don't you already have two? What to knit? Don't waste it, such a big person, and won't grow, and it's not broken."

"Last year I saw one that seemed to be bitten by a mouse with a hole."

"It has been mended, you can continue to wear it. You hurry up and ask the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, do it early, and you can go out to sea to set nets early."

Ye Yaodong reluctantly withdrew his hand. He had to earn money, and he had to wear broken clothes. ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
