"You're not serious, just do it. Why do you have to say it?" Lin Xiuqing blushed at what he said and sounded a little embarrassed.
"Don't you think it would be more exciting to say it?"
"What's exciting? You are sick..."
“I don’t understand the style!”
Lin Xiuqing was angry, "Love will come or not."
"Come on, I've pulled out my Ruyi Golden Cudgel. I have to kill the goblin tonight and see where you run."
"You...are not serious at all...you can say anything..."
"That's right, the monkey has the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and I also have the Ruyi Golden Cudgel. They are both big and small beings, and they can also beat goblins. The goblins were frightened when they saw my Ruyi Golden Cudgel."
Lin Xiuqing was completely speechless, there was nothing sexy that he couldn't say.
Fortunately, I won't go out to talk to others, I will only talk during night battles.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxi sat up in a daze, rubbing his eyes, "Where is the golden cudgel...?"
Ye Yaodong was startled and immediately fell down.
Lin Xiuqing was also startled and became nervous. She quickly turned her upper body to the side and patted her to comfort her, "No, I watched too much TV and talked in my sleep. Go to sleep."
"I dreamed about the golden cudgel..."
"There is no golden hoop, just go to sleep."
Lin Xiuqing took Ye Xiaoxi in her arms, patted and comforted her for a while, and then she fell asleep again.
Ye Yaodong finally understood why villains die from talking too much. It is true that talking too much can easily cause trouble.
Don't talk nonsense when fighting goblins. It's easy to have long nights and dreams, and the goblins will run away if you're not careful.
And there is a time bomb next to it that can be detonated at any time.
In the next three days, Ye Yaodong had a good rest at home. He lay down at home, slept after eating, and ate when he woke up. He also spent a few days at ease without going anywhere.
During this period, I watched TV, played cards with others, and watched people gambling in the village. My life was quite pleasant, and I felt a little bit like I should during the New Year.
By the time of the 11th day of the lunar calendar, the village gradually returned to calm. It was not as lively as it was some time ago. Everyone slowly returned to work, and there was not so much free time to play cards and gamble for money.
In the whole village, in addition to the idle people, men and women have also resumed their busy work, and the same is true for children. Those who should rush to work have also begun to catch up on unfinished building projects.
After all, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passes, and school starts on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, which is only a few days away.
After the fishing boats went out to sea one after another, their workshops saw more fish in the past few days, and they started working. They started killing fish again, and the fishy smell in the village became stronger.
Ye Yaodong was watching Lin Xiuqing packing the clothes he would take on the boat at night.
"When I went to the city a few days ago, I bought hundreds of pencils and erasers with animated characters. When the children of 14 or 15 sign up, you will take them with you and give them to the class teacher to distribute them after school starts.
To every student.”
"I know, they are all kept well. Let them choose the children at home first, and take the rest to school." Lin Xiuqing folded the clothes in her hands and was busy.
"There are fifty or sixty people in a class, and there are only three classes in a grade. It should be enough for an elementary school."
"Absolutely. Most of the children are from poor families, and they still write with pencils that are shorter than a tiger's mouth. It's just a good time to start school and improve things."
"Um."
"I guess in a few days my mother and the others will be busy again, and they will have to go to the countryside to persuade families in need to send their children to school."
"My mother and others will verify whether it is really difficult and cannot be deceived. Just take care of the workshop and leave this to my mother to worry about."
"You went out to sea at night, and you probably won't be able to come back on the 15th. It's a pity. This year, the town said there will be a Lantern Festival lantern parade and dragon dance. I heard it will be very lively."
"It doesn't matter. Just keep an eye on your children and don't let them sneak away. The streets will be crowded by then and it's easy to lose them, so just keep them at home."
"good."
After Lin Xiuqing packed up his clothes, he went to the yard to take a look at the supplies to be brought to the ship. If there were no problems, he asked someone to come over and carry them to the ship in advance.
Everything was taken back years ago, including fishing nets, baskets, tools, and all kinds of nets and kitchen utensils. They were all taken back for cleaning and drying, and now they all had to be moved onto the ship again one by one.
There are also supplies such as rice, flour, grain, oil, quilts, etc. for living at sea in the next few days. The yard is full of piles, and most of the sundries are piled in the workshop.
Ye Yaodong followed her and took a look at the supplies she had prepared in advance. Then he started busy asking people to move them and supervising them himself.
The two brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua next door were also as happy as him, organizing and moving supplies.
After getting the new boat, they had only gone out a few times, and they were already very anxious.
If their father hadn't had some work to do and wanted to rest for a few days, they would have sailed out on their own boat and started a big fight.
While the three brothers were busy moving supplies, the Zhou brothers next door also approached Ye Yaodong.
"Ah Dong, you three brothers also go to sea at night, right?"
"yes."
These brothers had already asked him a few days ago, and now they were asking again. He knew with all his strength that they wanted to follow him.
Even Ah Qing mentioned it to him two days ago. Mrs. Zhou jokingly mentioned to her that it would be best to go with their brothers on the family boat so that they would have someone to take care of them.
After all, the risks at sea are high and the journey is far away. It is easy for a ship to be isolated and helpless. There are few ships that can travel such a distance.
Every year, corpses wash up on the surrounding beaches, and fishing boats out to sea are prone to encounter corpses. There are too many victims.
"The safety of your three boats is guaranteed."
"yes."
"Fishing in the open sea is no better than in the near sea. There are fewer fishing boats to encounter. If you go together with a few boats, it looks much safer."
"Yes, the risks at sea are too great, and the navigation technology is not very good now."
"We also plan to go out at night, can we go with you? We can stay far away so as not to affect the fishing, okay? We will also have someone to look after us. At least if something happens, we can have a signal to hear it. You also know,
Our ship is also the same as that of the SF Express that the three of you brothers have, and we don’t have enough experience as you..."
"Okay, I'll give it to you, no problem. Everyone will fish independently without interfering with each other. In a few months, I will get a fresh harvesting boat, and then the goods from our boats will definitely be collected by my fresh harvesting boat.
Walk……"
"Fresh harvesting boat! You actually bought a fresh harvesting boat!" Zhou Da was surprised.
On Tuesday, I couldn't imagine how many boats he had.
"How many boats do you have yet to deliver? Didn't I just see you bring back a smaller fishing boat a few days ago? The shipyard is almost yours. It turns out that what everyone said is true.
You still have many ships to return."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "No, all the ships in the offshore are now in hand. The only thing missing is the big ship, which won't be that fast. The next one, the fresh harvest ship, should be in hand first."
"You are really... amazing. You are really a role model for our entire village."
"Ship Wangdong is really not wrong at all."
Ye Yaodong added: "If our fishing boats are not far apart, it will be more convenient for the fresh food boat to receive the goods. The sea area is so wide, a few boats are nothing."
"Okay, it doesn't matter who you sell it to, it's the same price, and it must be given to our own people first."
"Okay, it will definitely be based on the market price. Whatever other people charge, we will of course do the same. We can also sell groceries directly to me to subsidize the gas money."
"No problem. When the time comes, if you ask us to keep it, we will keep it for you in advance."
"good."
There are only a few big boats in the village, and he has booked all the cargo in advance, so he won't be afraid that there will be fewer fishing boats to dock with and he will lose money.
After talking, the two brothers went to work to sort out the supplies for the ship.
After they had packed up their belongings, they also took the boats out in advance to refuel and add ice, so as not to be unable to refuel in the middle of the night.
On this trip, Pei's father did not go again, but Aguang went. However, the people on his boat were some of Pei's father's former friends, including the old fishermen in the village. The only younger one was his stepbrother.
In addition, the boats with their brothers were all on the same boat, several boats came in and out at the same time, and Father Ye was watching from other boats, so Father Pei was relatively relieved.
When night fell, the men who were walking around got on the boat one after another.
The three ships, Dongsheng, Shunfeng and Fengsheng, carried the father and son-in-law, but the Mancang of Zhou Da and his four brothers carried an entire ship of their relatives.
They were all men from their Zhou family, father and son soldiers in battle, brothers fishing, and the whole boat was full of relatives when they went to sea. Three generations, the youngest was 16 years old, also went out with them.
Others didn't seem to feel much about it. After all, that's how it is when going to sea. It's normal for the whole ship to be filled with their own relatives.
But Ye Yaodong felt a little sad when he looked at the people in their boat. If something happened, the whole family would really be shattered.
But there is no other way. You can also earn wages by going to sea to make a living. Originally, a boat was bought by a partnership that pooled the abilities of relatives and friends. If you can ask your own people to work on it, you must not ask outsiders to do it.
Ye Yaodong has too many boats at home, and most of them are rented out to relatives. As long as the relatives and friends are not too bad in character or have a bad reputation, they all take advantage of it, so there are fewer relatives on board.
"What are you looking at? Dongzi, hurry up and offer three sticks of incense to Mazu in the cabin."
"Oh, okay, I think Zhou Da and the others are pretty good at naming names. The name of the fishing boat is Mancang."
Father Ye also looked over with a smile and said, "It's quite good. Everyone chooses names for good luck."
"I heard that they spent all their money to bring the boat back."
"Sooner or later you can make money back."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong responded casually and went to burn incense for Mazu before returning to the cockpit and sailing the ship.
There was a cold wind, and it was also chilly inside the cockpit, but luckily there was no wind, and it gradually became warmer after a while.
The four large boats sailed together for three or four hours. The fishing boats passing by looked sideways. It was rare for so many large boats to go in the same direction together.
It wasn't until dawn in the early morning that they separated, each set down the net, and continued to move toward the East China Sea while working.
It was rare for A Guang to steer a boat by himself, so he was very excited all of a sudden. He kept chatting with Ye Yaodong online. When they started working, they went to rest first to catch up on their sleep, and then calmed down.
Everyone is used to the boring fishing work at sea, and working at sea in cold weather is also particularly painful. The wind is biting and the sea water is freezing.
There are reasons for getting high wages.
After fishing for three days in heavy wind and waves, Ye Yaodong proposed to sell goods on the shore.
The cold wind was blowing in the cold winter, and the waves were rolling. Selling goods on the shore could avoid staying at sea and enduring strong winds and waves. He saw that the waves were not bad.
By the way, it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so if you go ashore to sell some goods, you can also celebrate the festival before heading out to sea.
Zhou Da and others felt that selling goods near the shore would waste time on the road and sell goods, and it would cost a lot of gas to go back and forth, which was not cost-effective. But Ye Yaodong said so, and they reluctantly agreed.
However, when they docked, they found that it was raining heavily, and they immediately felt lucky to have docked. Apparently, the weather forecast yesterday showed that the city would be cloudy today.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel more convinced of him, and his judgment was more accurate.
"It's so good that it rains when it rains."
"It's getting colder. It's already the Chinese New Year. The temperature was still rising during the New Year days, but I didn't expect it to be cold again now."
"Have you ever heard of freezing to death in spring? It will be colder when spring starts," Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "While there are not many people on the shore at this moment, we can carry the groceries up first and weigh them for A Liang and the others to take back.
I'll also pick out the other goods, weigh them, and give you the bill. Then I'll pick up the money from my house when I get home."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong asked other ships to bring out the goods for him to pick first, and then the goods he wanted would be carried ashore to Wang Guangliang.
Wang Guangliang and the others were also discussing there. It was still cloudy at home when they told the story. Unexpectedly, it started raining heavily as soon as they arrived in the city. If the home had stopped earlier, they wouldn't have to go out to receive the goods.
Fortunately, he was able to help Ye Yaodong bring the goods back.
"Brother Dong, I received a letter from you at home this morning."
"What letter?"
"I don't know. I went to work at noon and then sailed out. I heard what others said."
"Okay, when I go to the market later to sell goods, I'll call home and ask."
Father Ye asked excitedly from the side: "Dongzi, was it true that you turned in two whales, one big and one small, and the city rewarded you?"
"Is it possible?"
"Then...then call home and ask about it later?"
"good."
Lin Xiuqing didn't expect that he would call back after just three days at sea, thinking who was calling.
Father Ye also put his head against the phone, wanting to hear what was being said.
Ye Yaodong glanced at him and switched the phone to the other side, making Ye's father blow his beard and stare in anger.
After he hung up the phone, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about? No one will listen to you?"
"Is it okay for you to listen like this when we are talking?"
Father Ye was scolded and felt that it was inappropriate.
"Ahem, isn't this serious business?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at his father, "It's nothing to do with you. I just received a letter of appointment and hired me to be the vice president of the fishery association of this city."
"Ah, is it the vice president again?"
"Why, you still don't like it?"
"No, why are you invited to be the vice president again this time? What have you done? You haven't done anything?"
"Look at what you said, I haven't done anything, so I can't become one? After all, I am also a representative of contemporary fishermen. I have also made a lot of contributions to marine research and made great contributions."
"Ah? Fishermen's representative?"
"Isn't it? In the past two years, I have contributed many strange marine creatures one after another, and I have also handed in many strange things. I am not the fishermen's representative, who is the fishermen's representative?"
At the earliest, I fished out a bronze tripod, which was so heavyweight that it alarmed the museum.
Even though he didn't catch the sea monster the next time, it was still from their village.
There was also a stranded basking shark, and the Fisheries Bureau he contacted came to lift it away.
Then there are torpedoes, unmanned underwater vehicles, and the nearest two gray whales, one large and one small.
He had just received a commendation from the city some time ago and had been in newspapers several times. He was the one who proposed the Fisheries Association and gave some suggestions by the way. Why can't he become the vice president of a mere Fisheries Association?
He even thinks he can join the party!
He is simply a glorious representative of fishermen! He should be rated as advanced.
After hearing this, Father Ye felt that it made sense, and he became happy after thinking about it.
Although the reward he wanted failed, his son gained glory again, and he also had a bright face when it came to the matter.
Between the president of this city and the president from other places, of course the president of this city is better.
"That's right. You should have a share anyway. When our village receives the kelp shipment, we will plant it in large quantities next year. We will have to set an example by then..."
"It's early, so don't go so far."
"Then you call your godfather quickly and thank him. This was sent about a year ago, otherwise you might not receive it now."
"Yes, it must have been sent out before the year, otherwise it would not have been sent out so quickly after the new year."
Ye Yaodong also quickly dialed a familiar number and thanked Director Chen properly.
He said that he sent Director Chen to the county town to celebrate the New Year two years ago, and what he said had profound meaning. He probably had already sent the appointment letter at that time, and it was just a surprise for him, so he didn't mention it.
Father Ye rubbed his hands with a lewd and cheerful look on his face, and stopped eavesdropping now.
"All of a sudden this president, that president, sounds quite majestic..."
He was afraid that others wouldn't know, so he deliberately spoke louder, but the people around him couldn't understand the dialect he spoke.
Show your charming eyes to the blind man.
He looked around and found that no one around him envied him, and his joy was halved.
I didn’t have the nerve to speak Mandarin again, so I had to hold it in for now.
After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to find someone who could understand him.
"Wait a minute, dad. My godfather said that there are rewards for the two whales. It just so happened that they were approved for work two days later. It was just a reward of 50 yuan for a boat. Although there was no certificate of honor, but such a big whale,
Why should we report it in the local newspaper?"
"50 yuan..." Father Ye was a little disappointed, "Then overseas JD equipment is more valuable."
"That's for sure, one is a marine creature, and the other is a hostile country outside the country that will threaten us. Which is more important, of course, is different."
"Okay, then you go and receive the award now?"
"You can go and receive the award now. Uncle Pei is not here. It's just right for Aguang to go. I'll ask them if they want to go now."
"Then we must go now. We're already in the city anyway, and it's hard to go out if it's raining heavily. It's the same as leaving after receiving the reward."
Ye Yaodong went out to look for other people outside the market. Some of them had sold out and were going to eat first.
Some are still selling goods inside and have not come out yet.
As soon as the boatmen finished selling their goods, Ye Yaodong asked them to sort out their own baskets and wait for him at the door.
At this time, he also told the news. Although everyone was a little disappointed and rewarded the fishing boat with 50 yuan, they had already experienced the glory before and were very satisfied.
At the same time, I am also happy for Ye Yaodong. His boss has become the vice president of the fishery association of this city. Their faces are also bright, and they are from the same village.
"Then shall we go along to receive the award?"
"No, I will take you all to dinner later. After dinner, you can take these things to the boat first and take a rest. We have stayed up all night. We will get on the boat after receiving the reward."
Everyone nodded and had no objection.
Ye's father also found an outlet for his excitement at this time, happily chatting with others about Ye Yaodong becoming the vice president again.
"It would be great if he is upright... If you ask me, with Dongzi's ability and contribution, it is more than enough to be upright."
"Yes, yes... A Dong is so powerful now and has been in the newspapers several times. Why hasn't he been promoted to full president?"
"Can I mention it?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said to them: "I think too much. How can the president of the president be just anyone? For people in this city, I am still from out of town. If I can be the vice president, if I am not a director, it is already a piece of cake.
It’s time to be content with the bread.”
"What is a director?"
"It can be understood as people who work. They can also participate in voting when something happens."
"That means the vice president is bigger!"
"right."
"Let's go, let's celebrate."
Ye Yaodong and others had all sold out and came out. Everyone gathered at the door of the small restaurant and told the others again.
Everyone's expressions were similar. Although they were a little disappointed, they felt they were understandable.
Of course, I am even more envious of the crew members of the Dongsheng, who were so lucky.
That's 500 yuan, plus a certificate of commendation, and it can be published in newspapers. It's really a glorious achievement, and it can be used to brag for decades in the future.
Aguang touched his chin and said, "Just 50 yuan doesn't mean anything. Can you ask your godfather to sign it for me?"
"Do you want me to draw another deposit for you? Do you think it's an IOU?" Ye Yaodong said angrily.
"That's good! Then when the time comes, you can draw a pledge for me and press your fingerprints, so that I can save the 50 yuan."
Ye Yaodong was choked and said, "Speak for yourself."
"Isn't that your godfather?"
"My godfather, I'm too embarrassed to ask him to sign for me."
"Then you go and mention it. After you mention it, we can ask him to sign a few more signatures and press a few fingerprints."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also smiled and nodded, "Yes, we took the 50 yuan back, and we don't know when it will be spent or mixed with other money. If we can get the leader's signature and signature, in the future
It can be saved.”
Father Ye also said: "Yes, this is also a proof of honor. You can mention it when the time comes."
Zhou Da said with some regret: "Can it still be like this? The year before last, I turned in the sea monster, and I was rewarded with 50 yuan. Why didn't I ask the leader to sign it for me? The 50 yuan was mixed with other money, and I probably spent it long ago.
Lost it."
Tuesday also said: "Yes, we even divided it up and spent it all."
Wednesday: "I regret slapping my thigh now. It turns out it can still be like this. I don't know if I will have a chance to catch something rare next time..."
Ye Yaodong said: "It's too early to say this now. Who knows whether the leader will sign it."
A Guang put his arm around Ye Yaodong's shoulder and said, "Let's go for a walk and come back early. That's it. I'll ask your godfather to sign and make a pledge for you later. We'll also mention it by the way."
Ye Yaodong was pushed forward by him, so he could only turn around and tell his father to take the others on board to rest first.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also quickly followed their footsteps.
Ye Yaodong just called and said that he would be there in a moment and would be there before getting off work at noon.
Although I was terribly sleepy and drowsy from the vibration of the tractor, I still cheered up.
The same goes for others, who stayed up all night because they had to sell goods at night.
This trip lasted three days, the fish warehouse was full, and everyone sold at a good price.
Now I can get the reward again. Although it is only 50 yuan, it has a different meaning and everyone is in a good mood.
"I wonder when the newspaper will be published?" A Guang asked.
"It's not your fault."
"I'm not responsible for what you said, but at least you should be able to mention the harvest number, right?"
"That's true, there were too many names. The reporter didn't ask at the time and only recorded the name of the ship. However, after reporting it, you should be able to see the sentence 'Ye Yaodong and others', hahaha."
Aguang was heartbroken, it was really possible to see "Ye Yaodong and others".
"Everything good has happened to you, why don't I have a good godfather?"
"This is all fate! There is a time in life that must come, but there is no time in life. Don't force it."
"You are paralyzed, I won't talk to you anymore."
"My mother is your mother. Keep your mouth clean or I'll punch you."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also stared at A Guang.
A Guang surrendered immediately, "I was wrong, he said swear words too smoothly."
"I'll spare your life for now. When we get here, I'll take you to visit my godfather."
Everyone looked up and saw that they had really arrived.
"Thank you godfather for saving my life."
"Can I have some face? Take away your shamelessness and go give me money."
After speaking, Ye Yaodong jumped down first and walked inside.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also hurried down and trotted to keep up, leaving Pei Guang behind to pay the fare.
They arrived early, before it was time to get off work. They announced their door to the doorman and were let in. Only Pei Guang was stuck in the back and was stopped.
"Dongzi...Dongzi...and me, and me..."
"Uncle, we are together..."
"Dongzi... third brother... eldest brother, second brother..."
After calling several times, Ye Yaodong reluctantly spoke with compassion and was let in.
"You are so vindictive, so I cursed you."
"Can you try to curse again?"
"No, hurry in and do some important business."
"snort."
Ye Yaodong walked to the office in a familiar manner and greeted the officer in front of him with a smile.
Aguang looked around and said softly: "Are you very familiar with this? It's just like at home..."
"Flatter me well, and you may benefit from it in the future."
"Okay, President Ye."
Chapter completed!
