Lin Xiuqing kept paying attention to the pot. When she saw that the lid of the pot was pushed up by the boiling foam, she knew that it was ready to be cooked again.

She left everyone chatting and went to catch shrimps with a bamboo disc. Ye Yaodong also helped.

The people who were sitting and chatting did not watch, but after the two pots were poured on the newly erected bamboo poles to dry, everyone looked at their yard. There was not much open space. They stood there chatting and just

They would take up space, so they went back to the house one after another.

Sister-in-law Ye was always reluctant to leave, for fear of delaying her bragging and showing off. After seeing everyone leave, she pinched the money in her pocket and took Brother Ye home with a smile on her face.

The courtyard had just returned to quiet. They were the only family members. Their two sons had long since disappeared. The old lady kept looking at Ye Xiaoxi from front to back, so as not to let her run around when it got dark, and also to be afraid of her inside and outside the house.

He was running around wildly, and the two pots inside and outside were still burning.

Lin Xiuqing and others left before asking: "Do you think they will also join forces to book a big ship?"

"I don't know. It's possible. It doesn't have much to do with us anyway. Just decide if you want. With a few more boats, we will make money and the village will be more lively."

"Yes, everyone has made money, and our village is richer. How much did you spend on these small fish and shrimps? My second sister-in-law asked me earlier, but my second brother didn't tell me."

"Ten dollars."

"Ten yuan is all inclusive? That's pretty cheap. No wonder the second brother didn't tell me. He was probably afraid that the second sister-in-law would gossip in front of so many people."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "To say more is not too much, but to say less is not too much. Calculated at 2,500 kilograms, one kilogram is 4 cents. They are groceries that no one wants. I mean, it is a little extra subsidy.

The gas money, it’s just a convenience anyway, and it’s a waste if it’s thrown back into the sea.”

The key is that he and A Guang are both bad guys together. They have completely taken the initiative but they didn't ask for it in vain. Ten yuan is enough to show their appreciation.

"It's a pity. I heard that these are only for one day. They were picked up and the other useless goods were thrown back into the sea. It would be great if I could collect all the goods every day and bring them back."

"Don't think about it. It's impossible. The fish warehouse can't be used to store these worthless things that no one wants and will only take up space. If they are left on the deck to dry for a day, they will stink and hinder the boatmen's work. It can only

Every time I come back, I bring back what I had that day.”

"I just feel it's a pity, just saying it casually."

She also knows that it is unrealistic. Fishing boats don’t even know how much fuel they consume when going back and forth.

The second sister-in-law said before that they are not even willing to sell goods on the shore. They know that it is cheaper to ship fresh goods, but there is nothing they can do because they are afraid of delaying time and consuming fuel.

These are just small miscellaneous fish.

"There are so many and the quantity is about the same. After we dry out this batch, Uncle Pei will bring another ship back in just a few days, and we can start working again, seamlessly."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and nodded, "Well, come over and carry the two baskets to the stove together."

Ye Yaodong also stood up and followed her to carry the shrimps.

At this moment, another human head appeared on the wall, moving up and down, and it was still calling Brother Dong, which almost scared the couple.

"Holy shit, can you be a human being? You're jumping around with your head on the wall every day, and you're calling me mean things. It scares people to death, especially this late at night."

The people outside the wall immediately turned to the gate and jumped into the yard one after another. The dogs barked and climbed onto their legs, but Ye Yaodong helped them retreat.

"Brother Dong, we are here again."

Ye Yaodong looked at them with disgust, "Next time, go directly to the main entrance and don't jump around the corners."

"The main reason was that there were people in the yard before. We were afraid of causing trouble for you, so we left after hearing some noise at the corner of the wall."

"It's okay, just come here openly next time."

"Don't you have to be afraid of being seen by the villagers?"

Wang Guangliang asked curiously. Before, he was worried that the village would associate them with the group that beat people and be exposed. But now he is not afraid?

"Well, so many days have passed. Anyway, I have sworn an oath. Everyone knows it was not me. It doesn't matter if you show up again. No matter how much they argue, they still have the oath they swore before."

What's more, the two families are now quarreling fiercely because the nails buried by the two families have harmed the neighbor and her mother-in-law. Their wounds have worsened and they have been sent to the hospital in the past two days. Who has time to take care of them?

"That's good, that's good. Then next time we will go through the front door openly."

"Then bring in the firewood..."

"Yes, yes, bring in the firewood..."

Ye Yaodong was happy, "Have you chopped firewood again and brought it over?"

"Yeah, little Stutter went back and said that you were going to dry shrimps in the evening and needed a lot of firewood. He asked us to go to the mountains to cut them. We hurried there as soon as we finished eating and picked up another cart before dark."

"Brother Dong, do you want to fetch some more water? You have quite a lot of shrimps, more than a dozen baskets, and they will have to be cooked until midnight."

"Okay, then you can put down the firewood and go get some water."

They were so happy that they immediately moved down the firewood, then took the buckets and pushed the cart to fetch water.

Lin Xiuqing watched from the side and waited until they left before asking: "Didn't you accept their firewood reluctantly before? Why do you just ask them to work today?"

"Don't I feel sorry for you? Are you afraid that you will be exhausted after cooking these shrimps too late? I thought I would leave them to work at night."

Just when she felt a little embarrassed to hear his sweet words, she was surprised when she heard the next words, "Leave all these shrimps to them to cook?"

"By the way, ask them to go to the workshop to keep vigil at night. Later, I will ask them to move two pots over and use stones to simply build two stoves. Let them cook over there and dry them over there, and watch over there at night.

It’s ready.”

"Can you rest assured..."

"What are you worried about? These shrimps are not valuable, and we don't keep them at our house. They are all country kids. How can they cook them? If you can't handle such a simple thing, then you don't need to come to our house tomorrow.

Already."

"That's right...it would be fine if we didn't leave them directly at our home..."

"Well, why would I leave them at home? I can't even sleep."

He was even more worried about staying in the yard. The old lady would probably be able to sit at the door until dawn.

Lin Xiuqing was also relieved. It would be okay if she didn't stay at their home and let them all work in the workshop.

"Does that mean we have to calculate wages for them? Isn't 7 people a bit too much? We can't even use 7 people for this job..."

"Chen Shi followed me out to sea all day, and he will definitely go home and sleep after a while. One of the other six people sent him to the boat with Brother Asheng and his eldest cousin at night to learn; the other asked him to follow Uncle Pei.

Big boat exercise.”

"Let the remaining four stay and work. There are still more than a dozen baskets of shrimps to cook. I guess we have to carry water, or send two to our hometown to help my mother. So many fish have to be moved, too.

I need someone to help me. My father and mother will have to work until very late.

I have to go to work tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing was surprised, "Are you really going to accept them as your younger brothers?"

"Don't say I'm a little brother. I just give them a job to save them from idleness all day long. I can play with Chen Shi. It seems that his character is not bad, but we have to take another look. Anyway, our family

We also need people for work now, so let them work for a few days and see."

"Then how do you plan to calculate wages? We don't have that much work, and we don't need people every day. We just work at night, and then we have to wait a few days for them to come."

"Chen Shi will be given a share when he goes to sea with me, and those who run big ships with Uncle Pei will be paid by the public. The other five people will be given a day's work. Based on the wages we used to hire people to work for, one dollar and a half a day for small laborers is enough.

Well, those who go on board to study should be treated as part-time workers. Work for a few days and see if they are lazy and slippery, then don’t call them good."

"That's okay. You don't have to calculate it month by month, but calculate it as part-time workers. Otherwise, if you calculate it on a monthly basis, the expenses will be too high. There are so many people, but there is not that much work, and they are not required to work every day."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "This saves them from having to stay at our house all day long. Just call them if they have any work to do."

"When you let someone board the boat with Brother Asheng and Cousin, did you also have the intention of supervising..."

"Are you a villain? I've told you to study. It's okay if I take one person with me, but I'm worried about my own safety with two people. It's just right to be on Brother Asheng's boat to help. What's more, I

I won’t go to sea tomorrow either.”

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said nothing.

After those boys came back after transporting water and listened to Ye Yaodong's explanation of the arrangements for them, they were all very happy, and they were finally given a job.

Wang Guangliang patted his chest and promised, "Brother Dong, don't worry, I will supervise them well and prevent them from being lazy and slippery. If anyone dares to be lazy, we will beat him up together."

"That's best. You guys should discuss who will go on the big ship. You have to be able to endure the loneliness. It will definitely take three to five to seven days to come back, but the wages will be calculated. Chen Shi can go home and sleep first."

Chen Shi looked satisfied, he was the only one following Brother Dong among so many people.

"I, I, I, wait...wait, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one..."

"If you make progress, just say it word by word like this in the future. It can relieve your stuttering."

He smiled and nodded.

Wang Guangliang and the others formed a circle with their arms around each other, all facing inward with their heads lowered, discussing and muttering there.

After a while, they all stood in order, and then Wang Guangliang said on behalf of the group: "We have discussed Brother Dong, Ah Shui will go to sea with the big ship, Ah Rong will go to your other ship to learn, and the four of us will stay in the workshop to work.

"

As Wang Guangliang spoke, he took Chen Qishui and Li Jiarong out for him to take a look. At the same time, he pointed at the other two and said that they were twins. He would send them to his hometown to help later. He and his other cousin stayed in the workshop to work.

.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, okay, I will take you to identify the person later. The two pots are almost ready now. When they are out of the pot, pour out the water and carry both the inner and outer pots to the workshop.

, you will cook there at night, and now you can use a few stones to build two simple stoves."
