The heavy truck drove in front, followed closely behind by an engineering vehicle.

The crowd exclaimed, and the children on the beach went crazy with joy, jumping and screaming. Fortunately, there was a group of uniformed Coast Guard and Ocean Bureau officers who helped separate the crowd.

Ye Yaodong and others of ten and twenty also helped to prevent the crowd from getting closer, especially those ignorant children, so that the two cars could drive closer.

When the car approached, several young men in green military uniforms got out of the car and shook hands with Director Chen and others.

After a while, they issued an order and began to hoist the gray whale.

The spectacular sight made more people gather on the beach.

They were all nearby villagers. When they saw the heavy trucks and construction vehicles, they knew something was going on and ran out one after another, some of them carrying their rice bowls.

The scene was lively and lively, and reporters were taking pictures around. Ye Yaodong also took two pictures. Fortunately, it was not dark yet.

After those people were busy for a while, the tail of the mother whale was slowly lifted up in a short while, and the baby gray whale also made a fierce cry, which made people feel like it was crying.

Father Ye sighed and shook his head, "Hey, the big one is dead. I don't know if the little one will survive if I drag it away."

"Just leave it to fate, it's just a fish," Pei's father said.

"Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we would have to wait until the tide was full. Once the tide was full, we would not be able to hang it, and we would have to wait until the tide recedes tomorrow morning."

Ye Yaopeng stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck to watch the big whale being slowly lifted onto the heavy truck. "Is this little whale put in the big bucket on the car over there? There seems to be some instrument in it?"

Ye Yaodong responded: "I don't know, I can't see it, and I can't get close now. Anyway, I will definitely try my best to save this little whale."

There was a dense crowd of people on the beach, all looking at the hoisted big gray whale, and everyone was amazed.

The hanging gray whale was several stories high. A child looked up at it and fell to the ground.

"It's so big..."

"I know this fish is big, but it looks even more spectacular when hung up. This fish looks like it weighs dozens of tons."

"There must be twenty or thirty tons, but we can't overweight..."

The big gray whale was slowly lifted onto the heavy truck under the spotlight, and then it was the little gray whale's turn.

Ye Yaodong and others took the initiative to help. Director Chen also greeted the people and let him help carry it.

When he was lifted onto the heavy truck, he also saw the rectangular container containing the gray whale, which was also filled with oxygen. It seemed that it should be able to last for several hours, so whether it could survive later would depend on skill and luck.

Director Chen smiled and talked to the people in green military uniforms. After they got off the car, he said a few polite words and saluted, and watched the two cars slowly drive away.

The crowd dispersed as they walked and discussed with unfinished content, and went back to their homes. Only the people in the three boats and Chen Ju and others were still standing there.

Director Chen also turned to them and said: "It's almost dark, you should go back early. I will inform A Dong if there is any news."

Ye Yaodong nodded quickly, "Okay, let's go back first, and you should go back from get off work early. Today we were delayed all day because of these two fish."

"It can't be said that I was delayed. I didn't come here in vain. Fortunately, I didn't just send someone over here. I came here specifically to have a look. Then let's just go home. The tide has risen and your fishing boats can get out.

"

"OK."

After bidding farewell to Director Chen and the others, now they were the only people in three boats on the beach. As the tide rose, they had no choice but to go up first.

"What should we do now? Go home directly?" Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong and asked.

Lin Xiangyang said from the side: "It's getting dark, do you want to stay one more night? Go home for a meal first?"

Ye Yaodong refused directly, "No, we have already been delayed for a day. Let's cook something to eat on the boat and sail out when the tide is high. If we stay one more night, we won't be able to leave during the day tomorrow."

Father Ye also said: "It's the New Year's Eve and you are all busy, so we won't go there. We will go directly home later. Everyone is anxious to go back."

"Okay, then I won't keep you here. You go back early, and I will take Ayuan back early. It's getting dark."

"Um."

After sending the two of them away, they each returned to their respective boats to prepare dinner and wait for the tide to rise.

The tide has not reached its highest level yet, but is still rising slowly. Although the water level has come up, the fishing boat is still stranded and cannot go out until the tide is high.

Everyone also took advantage of the free time to cook and solve the problem of eating. Of course, there was also a lot of gossip.

Of course, the most talked about reward is the reward. Not only the boatmen are looking forward to it, but Father Ye is also looking forward to it.

He was not included in the newspaper or the commendation certificate a few days ago, which made him deeply regretful. This time, he was so looking forward to it that he would crawl over to ask Ye Yaodong whenever he could.

Ye Yaodong was annoyed by his father. He asked repeated questions again and again, but his father was still nagging.

"Just wait, you can't run away, it's not your turn, it's useless to chase after me, and you are still chasing me to ask, what's the use of asking me? I can't think of the boss not giving you a reward, I

Can I write you a pen and send it to you?"

He also couldn't bear to talk because his father was so verbose, and his attitude was not very good.

Father Ye scolded him, turned around and left angrily.

Ye Yaodong suddenly became quiet and didn't bother to care whether his father was angry or not.

Others also heard that Father Ye was criticized and did not dare to ask any more questions.

Everyone had a simple dinner, and when the tide was high and the fishing boat could move, they quickly set off and went home.

It's almost midnight when I get home now.

When their fishing boat first entered the village waters, it happened to run into the boat where Wang Guangliang received the goods. They directly approached it and stopped the boat in the middle of the sea.

"Brother Dong, you're back, what a coincidence."

"It seems that you sailed back first and we were lagging behind. We only met now."

"It should be."

"Just drive back. Your boat is full and there is no room for our cargo."

"good."

"Brother Dong, did you see big whales when you docked in the city? I heard that someone dragged back two whales, one big and one small. They weighed dozens of tons and were taller than a building. They also dispatched heavy trucks from the army to follow them.

Carrying it on a construction truck is awesome."

The boatmen said with smiles on their faces: "Isn't this us?"

"We dragged it back!"

"Didn't you go see it? That's right. If you had seen it, you would definitely know that it was towed back by our three boats."

Wang Guangliang and the others' eyes widened.

"Fuck!"

"You dragged it back? Isn't it? Damn it, we saw heavy trucks passing by us at that time. We wanted to see the excitement, but there were a lot of goods that had to be weighed."

"What a pity. I wanted to take a look at it at that time. If I had known it was your boat, Brother Dong, we would have left one of us to watch while the others went to watch the excitement."

Ye Yaodong was very satisfied after hearing this. He was quite dedicated and ran away without seeing the excitement.

"I took the photos. I'll just develop them and show them to you when the time comes."

"It's a pity that I didn't see it live."

"Hurry to the shore. It will take a long time to unload a pile of cargo."

They also left several kilograms of cargo in each ship, which would have to be weighed after unloading.

We usually dock during the day, but unexpectedly today, we got back in the middle of the night, so we still have to call Ah Qing to weigh the goods later.

Fortunately, they have enough manpower on all three boats, so there is no need to worry about loading and unloading the cargo.

Lin Xiuqing was sleeping soundly when she heard the familiar knocking on the window again, so she had to get up and open the door.

"Why are you coming back at this time today? Isn't the market closed during the day?"

Ye Yaodong only told her something unexpected and asked her to take the accounting book and go to the workshop to be weighed first. He waited for her at the door and explained to her in detail as he walked.

More than 100 baskets of goods were moved around, and everyone was sweating in the cold weather in the middle of the night.

After getting the goods for several ships, Lin Xiuqing also learned what happened today from their chat.

On the way back, I was filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect that the baby would still be pregnant... I don't know if he can survive now."

"There will always be a way, and there should be a way to rely on technological means. Anyway, it is better than releasing the animal back into the sea, which will lead to death in less than two days."

"Then did you not go to the market today to bring back the sales?"

"I'm not free. I'll go back tomorrow after I have some rest."

"It's already early in the morning. It's the 23rd day of the lunar calendar. Tomorrow is the New Year's Day festival. There are markets everywhere these days. When are we going to close our doors and take a break?"

"This year's 30th is New Year's Eve. Otherwise, just work for one more day and then rest. You have earned all the money you should earn throughout the year. Most people have prepared New Year's goods in advance. Close the shop early and let your parents go back to their hometown to rest. They will go back to have a baby tomorrow."

Year."

Lin Xiuqing smiled broadly, "I mean the same thing. I haven't been back to my hometown a few times throughout the year. They probably also want to go back."

"Okay, then I don't have to go to sea anymore. Let's take a break early for the New Year. Tomorrow we will calculate the wages of the boatmen and let everyone relax in advance. The weather is good this month, and everyone is working hard at sea.

There is no real rest for a few days. The other rented fishing boats will continue to go out to sea, so it doesn’t matter to us, we just wait to collect the rent.”
