As Lin Xiuqing walked, she asked him again how he went to the city to write an application report, apply for a visit to the research institute, and apply for species suitable for local breeding.
Ye Yaodong was worried about how to write the application report, and her words directly solved his worries.
He immediately told her the matter, and then held her hand happily, "Honey, I'll leave this matter to you. You write it out tonight, and I'll go to the city to hand it in tomorrow."
"Ah? What?"
"Well, it's settled, I'll leave the matter to you."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised and tried to break away from her hand, but was held tightly, and was shocked again when he put it to her mouth and kissed her.
"What are you doing? How can I write it?"
"Why can't I write it? Isn't it quite simple? I haven't always told you, and you know it clearly. You just need to express things better, have clear logic, and put it in writing."
"You know so well and are so good at it, why don't you write it yourself?"
"I don't know how. I can only talk but can't do it. You can organize the sentences and try to write them."
"How to write it?"
"Don't you know what I've been saying all the time these past two days? Oh, I'm exhausted. Go back to eat quickly and think about it."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the empty hand that was thrown away and stared at the back in front of her. She was a little annoyed. She listened for a few times and didn't know anything else. How should she write it?
She trotted to catch up, "Can't you write it yourself?"
"My handwriting is not good-looking, and I don't know how to write it. Please write it for me. It's not very formal anyway. I'll hand it over to my godfather first. If I submit it, I'll definitely need to polish it a little more clearly."
"Or do you want me to write it?"
"Okay, then you organize the language and I'll tell you to write it."
"Okay. You should quickly practice your handwriting. You can't ask me to write everything in the future, right? You have to go to party school every now and then. Once you practice your handwriting, you will definitely write political reports frequently."
"I got it. I'll write it with you later. I'll practice calligraphy while you write the application report. By the way, I'll tell you what to write in the report."
"That's pretty much it."
The couple was a little overwhelmed by the application report. After all, it was their first time writing it and they didn't know how to write it at the beginning.
While Ye Yaodong was eating, Lin Xiuqing had already laid out the pens and papers, and then looked at the blank notebook blankly.
"What should I write at the beginning, hello, leader?"
Ye Yaodong hesitated, "Either respected leader, how are you?"
"Okay, what next."
"I'm going to eat. You write yours first. After I'm done, I'll see if there's anything I want to add. Then we can revise it."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the white paper with a headache and could only improvise on the spot. Fortunately, she had gone to school for a few days and had written a short composition.
"It's really troublesome. Why don't you just ask the leaders to write it? You just went and said it anyway."
"You're stupid. I proposed it, and then I submitted the application report. If the superiors approve the visit and research, and then apply for breeding, there will be a bumper harvest in the end. Just like kelp, it will bring benefits to all farmers.
, Promoting the city’s economic development, isn’t this a great achievement? Then don’t I, President Ye of the Fisheries Association, live up to my name?”
Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and felt that it made sense. She stopped being verbose and immediately became serious.
This is related to her husband's reputation and achievements.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong also took a pen and paper and started practicing calligraphy. The couple sat in the main room writing by light, and were shocked by the three brothers and sisters who ran back to the house to drink water.
The three of them ran into the house one after another, then stopped and stood in a row.
"What are you doing? Brother?"
"elder brother?"
Ye Chenghu walked over curiously, "Mom and dad, what are you writing?"
"Go aside and don't make any noise."
"Don't bother, go aside..."
Ye Chenghu pursed his lips and said, "So fierce!"
How to write about Lin Xiuqing's troubles? Three little ones stood in a row next to them, from big to small, staring at them with their heads stretched out, but they couldn't drive them away.
She grabbed Ye Chenghu and said, "If you don't want to leave, then you can stay and write another page of big words for me."
"What!"
Ye Chenghu was frightened and turned around to run away, but his clothes were caught.
"It's too late, do you dare to try running?"
He could only stand there with a grimace on his face, waiting for Lin Xiuqing to get him a calligraphy book and pen.
Ye Chengyang turned around and ran away.
Ye Xiaoxi stood on tiptoes and reached the edge of the table with both hands. He looked at Ye Chengyang who had already run away. He hesitated but didn't run away. He tilted his head and looked at Ye Chenghu's wrinkled face.
"Brother, are you going to cry?"
"none of your business."
"Brother, don't cry."
"I didn't cry."
"But you're about to cry."
"I'm not crying." He shouted louder.
Ye Xiaoxi shrank his neck in fear and whispered: "Then if you don't cry, is it because you love doing homework?"
"You're so annoying."
"You're so annoying."
Lin Xiuqing put the pen and paper on the table and urged, "Gonggong, write a whole page for me before you leave, or else you go to the corner and stand in the corner for me until I go to bed and then go upstairs."
Ye Chenghu struggled with the pen for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and decided that he should finish writing quickly and run out to play for a while, otherwise he would really have to stand until he fell asleep, which would be too miserable.
A family of three sat on three sides of the round table, and there was also Ye Xiaoxi. He watched them curiously the whole time while they were writing. After a while, he moved to another seat and kept asking questions.
"Brother, you write so slowly..."
"Mom, what did you write? There are so many words..."
"Dad, why do you still need to write?"
"Dad, do you want to go to school too?"
"Brother, do you want an eraser?"
"Mom, you are so powerful...there are so many words...the more words you have, the more powerful you are."
The three of them were annoyed by her taking turns, and they all wanted to slap her head on the table, but they couldn't drive her away.
Ye Yaodong looked at the little head next to him with a headache. Her chin was still resting on the table. As soon as she opened her mouth, he was worried that her chin would be worn out.
Later, he still gave her 5 cents and asked her to go out to find Ye Chengyang, and asked Ye Chengyang to take her to buy something to eat. Then he ran out happily, and the room became quiet.
Ye Chenghu listened to them all going to buy something to eat. After writing a quick and perfunctory note, he threw away the pen and ran out immediately.
The two couples didn't bother to care about him at this time.
Lin Xiuqing thought about it while writing, and even scribbled and corrected it. Instead, she was the last one to finish it, and then showed it to Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong looked at everything that seemed to be written on the list. The suggestions were written with both nose and eyes. He also wrote about the harvest of kelp in the village. It was clear and logical, and the main point was well-founded.
He said happily: "Okay, it's very well written. That's it. Just copy it again. Don't make any alterations."
"Then you can copy it. It's all written for you anyway."
"You write it."
"Is it your job or mine? It's all written for you, you just need to copy it."
"Oh well."
Ye Yaodong sighed, took the order bitterly, and continued to work hard.
Forget about doing the work, I didn’t expect that he would also need to do the writing.
Fortunately, his handwriting has improved a bit during this period, and he can at least be seen by others.
After copying the list, he was so tired that he went straight into the house to sleep.
He still had the job of counting money, but he left it to Lin Xiuqing. This was also a big project. He was tired of counting now and didn't want to count at all. As long as Ah Qing finished counting, he would report the number to him.
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong took Chen Shi out to sea to fish with long lines.
After a whole day of fishing, the harvest was average, with only a 40% chance of catching fish. A small number of them bit the hook and ran away. Some could not be pulled out, and some hooks were gone. He thought to himself that he probably ran away.
They are all so big that the fishhook cannot catch them.
However, this delivery is too poor, not comparable to last year.
When all the longlines were harvested, he estimated that they would only be about six to seven hundred kilograms. The goods ranged from large to small, and there were all kinds of fish. There was also a better blue grouper, and a two-kilogram giant squid was caught.
About 30 pieces, but overall the harvest is not very good.
After collecting the long lines, he continued to collect the remaining 6 rows of ground pots and 4 shrimp pots from last year.
I don't know if I should say he was unlucky. He put down so many shrimp pots, but he only managed to collect three shrimp pots.
A complete row of ground cages cannot be retracted, and only two or three net ports can be retracted before they get stuck. You must know that there are 10 nets in a row, which is equivalent to annihilating the entire ground cage army.
There has never been anything like this here before. At most two or three of them were stuck on the bottom, and it was not successful at the start.
Ye Yaodong thought it was normal at first, until he tried all the buoys and found that he could only collect two or three before they got stuck. He cursed a lot.
"What's going on with riding a horse? I've never done that before."
"Brother Dongdong, why...are you hanging..."
"How do I know? If you ask me, who should I ask? I have never had so many people hang out before. I thought it would be the same as before, but I didn't expect that they were all wiped out."
The three shrimp pots collected only caught one small green dragon, not one sea cucumber, not even many fish and shrimps, and all six rows of ground pots were wiped out.
Looking at the dismal harvest, he couldn't believe it.
Obviously, there were quite a lot of green dragons and sea cucumbers here last year. Even when he went to the bottom of the sea, he could still see small green dragons hiding in the cracks of the rocks and running around. It was difficult to catch them, but he could still catch a few.
The same goes for sea cucumbers. If you put 6 rows of ground cages down, you can catch at least a dozen of them.
Now the whole army is almost wiped out.
What situation?
We haven’t set up a net here for more than a year, so why has it changed so much? It’s not like time has passed and the terrain has changed.
"What should I do?"
"What else can we do? Get ready and take turns to go into the water and take a look. It would be best if you can get rid of the one hanging on the bottom. If you can't get it out, take a look at the situation. Only after you understand it can you decide whether to come here to put the ground cage tomorrow.
"
"It's... it's solved... there's no ground... cage, come and put it..."
"Shut up! No one will think you are mute if you don't speak."
Ye Yaodong was a little angry and was telling the truth.
But it is indeed stuck. If you don’t free him, he won’t have a place to put it in tomorrow. There are only three shrimp pots. What’s the use?
I have to go fishing with long lines honestly.
As for the little green dragon and sea cucumber, you may have to go catch them yourself.
What a bad luck!
He was extremely depressed. He had never thought that the ground cage could be completely hung at the bottom.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let it go.
He thought it would be the same as last year. If he was lucky, the market might not hit the bottom after a few days of trading.
Maybe we can wait until he is done with the kelp work and have his hands free, then go into the water and check the abalone carefully to see if they have reproduced and grown again in the past two years.
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
Ye Yaodong took off his clothes first and went down first, letting Chen Shi watch from above. After all, he would be more familiar with the bottom, and it was not very deep. Be careful and go down a few meters first and don't go down to the bottom. It wouldn't be a big problem.
There is plenty of sunshine today and the light is good. From a few meters down, you can barely see what's going on underneath.
But when he slowly descended into the sea, only four or five meters down, he was stunned.
The bottom is densely covered with cages, hanging all over the reef, and swaying with the waves, like a series of lanterns.
Moreover, each cage was filled with fish, shrimps and crabs, and some even contained a lot of small green dragons. He was even more shocked, his eyes were wide-eyed, and he couldn't even get close to the reef because they were all blocked by the cages.
Many floor cages are also crisscrossed and overlapping, and each floor cage is full of goods. Except for some damaged floor cages, which have less goods, the others are really full.
How long have these cages been hanging on the bottom of the sea?
Looking at how full it was and how crowded the short goods were, I definitely spent a lot of time hanging there.
There are also these intertwined ones. They must not be put down at the same time, but one after another, and then become entangled together, so they cannot go up.
Damn...
He didn't care to look at the contents of these cages and thought of continuing to check the sides and bottom.
Now that we are here, we need to understand everything clearly.
He swung to the side, found a slightly more open position, and swam four or five meters downstream.
The scene at the bottom of the sea shocked him even more. A large area of ​​ground cages, at least hundreds of them, covered the bottom of the sea, pressing on the seaweed, all swaying in the same direction with the waves.
The situation was the same above and below. He shuttled between these underground cages and looked at some of the goods inside, which were alive, and some of which were dead, all densely packed in the underground cages.
Except for a few ground cages that were still empty, and only some scattered fish products at the top, he could identify that these should be the ones he put down yesterday, and they were also entangled with other ground cages.
He took a look and found an empty spot on the seabed to stand. He picked up a ground cage at his feet and saw that several sea cucumbers were still alive inside.
Collecting natural things violently.
These floor cages cannot be closed, and the goods inside can only be stuck inside and wait to die.
He cursed in his mind and walked around the bottom of the sea to understand everything, and then walked up around the cages that swayed with the waves.
No wonder there were so many hooks that couldn’t be reeled in when we were reeling in the longline.
He and Chen Shi, the useless boss, couldn't pull it back even with all their strength, and there was no sign of a struggle. They almost cut off their hands, so he could only use scissors to cut off the branch line and give up.
At that time, I thought that the hook was stuck on the bottom and caught something, so it couldn't be pulled up. If it were a fish, it would definitely struggle and react.
If this hook hits the ground cage, what kind of reaction will it get? I can’t even pull it away, now the case is really solved.
After he surfaced, he found that he was a little far away from the fishing boat, so he swam towards the fishing boat again.
"Brother Dongdong...how are you doing?"
"He was paralyzed. There were all ground cages underneath him. They were all densely packed with ground cages. There were hundreds of them at least."
"ah?"
"What the hell? Pull me up quickly, I'm almost mad to death, it must be those two idiots."
When he saw all the traps in the water, he already thought about who did it.
"Who... who?"
"Besides Azheng Xiaoxiao, who are the other two idiots?"
"How could he and the others... do that?"
"Why not? I was the one who led them here at the beginning and asked them to help me harvest the rivers and work together to share them. They also know that there are little green dragons and sea cucumbers here."
"Since I got the Dongsheng, I haven't trawled offshore. Don't they have to make use of this vacant area? Come here and try their luck?"
"Made, those two idiots don't have diving equipment themselves. They have no choice but to put down the ground cage and hang it on the bottom. But they are reluctant to give up the sea cucumbers and little green dragons underneath, so they can only keep making ground cages and put them down. As long as they can catch
Two or three will be enough."
"Those two fools, how can I know them? That's why there are so many cages underneath."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but cursed, "You idiot, you are so stupid, you really surprised me, and you didn't even say anything."
"Oh...then...what should I do? I...should I...go down?"
"No need, I've already seen it. You just need to know what's going on down there. There are so many cages down there and it's a huge project. We can't finish them all in a while. Even the two of us can't do it."
"After I finish processing the kelp, the Dongsheng will come back. Call a few more people to come over and salvage those cages. Those two fools..."
Ye Yaodong was so angry that he cursed a lot.
But despite the criticism, it will be beneficial to collect these cages later. Of course, the goods will belong to him.
I looked at the ground cages that were full. Each one had a small green dragon, and there were sea cucumbers hanging on the bottom of the sea. Although some were dead, there were also some alive.
Once he collects the hundreds of ground cages underneath, it will be considered a turn of events if he doesn't make a huge profit.
He thought he had bad luck today, as the longline fishing harvest was mediocre, all ground traps were wiped out, and even the shrimp traps had few harvests, which made his heart feel cold.
Unexpectedly, there would be such a reversal, and those two fools made a fortune for him.
It really is.
If you don’t go down to see it, you won’t know. If you go and see it, you will be shocked.
Wait until he collects all the cages underneath, and then laughs at them for making him wedding clothes when he returns.
"Then...go back?"
"Go back, you really surprised me, those two guys..."
Ye Yaodong was indeed surprised and happy.
He hurriedly went to change clothes. When he went to sea today, he thought that he might have to go into the water. The ground cage might hang on the bottom. By the way, he also wanted to see if there were abalones on the reef, so he also prepared an extra set of clothes and could change them temporarily.
.
I sneezed twice and changed my clothes before I felt warm again.
On the way back, I had already seen two trawling fishing boats in the distance.
He scolded the two idiots again.
After docking, he asked Chen Shidu not to tell anyone about the underground cage.
He would free up his hands in a few days, and secretly ask a few more people to put those cages up. Anyway, they are all hanging underneath, and they won't be able to escape after such a long time. So he did it slowly.
Ah Cai knew that he had gone to harvest the longline this morning and would come back immediately after harvesting. He was already waiting for him at the dock.
"The harvest is good. How many baskets are there? There are several hundred kilograms."
"Normally, just so-so. Hurry up and get on the scale. I'm still in a hurry."
"I know you're a busy man, so I'll weigh you right away. You came back early. There are no other fishing boats at this time, so there's no need to wait. I'll weigh the goods for you right away."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong turned around and told Chen Shi to go to the workshop to send a message, asking them to load the kelp into the truck. According to the loading he asked yesterday, the top must be covered with kelp. He will set off after weighing it.
"Are you really busy? You have to go to the city non-stop?"
"In order to live, to make money. If you don't work hard now, you will have to lose money, and you have to support the whole village."
"How great!"
"What about you, yin and yang?"
"What?"
Ah Cai didn't understand what he was talking about.
"I sincerely praise you. After the whole village starts kelp farming, won't we have to rely on you to produce such a large amount? Otherwise, no matter who sells it to the village, they will all rot in the sea. Aren't I praising you?
?”
"That's fine if you tell the truth."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Now the village cadres have to work hard to please you, and they have to listen to you no matter what you say. If you ask them to go east, they will never dare to go west. The whole village has to count on you and rely on you.
Make a fortune."
"Then don't dare to take it seriously. Who knows what will happen next year."
"Then at least now the village committee will definitely listen to you in everything. You are their God of Wealth, so they have to support you."
"Stop being verbose and hurry up and weigh the goods."
"You can weigh them all by carrying them in..."
After Ye Yaodong got the goods list, he pushed the cart back in a hurry. He didn't have time to ask Ah Cai what he had told him the day before yesterday and how he was thinking about it.
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, there is still a month left anyway.
Lin Xiuqing was watching them move goods in the workshop. Ye Yaodong gave her the goods list and he was watching from the side.
"The harvest is not bad."
"No, I'll come back tonight... I'll tell you when I come back tomorrow. The wet clothes are in the basket. You can take them back and wash them later."
She looked at the wet and dripping clothes on the scooter and asked, "It's so wet. Did you get into the water?"
"Well, all the floor cages are hung at the bottom."
"I asked why there seems to be something extra. It turns out that I brought all the shrimp pots back and didn't throw them away anymore? Are all 60 of those 6 rows of cages hanging on the bottom?"
"Yes, all the ground cages are hanging on the bottom. I'm afraid that the shrimp cages will also be wiped out, so I don't put them down anymore. I just take them back first. You can also have those longlines sorted out later. I'll do it when you come back tomorrow.
Take it out and put it away.”
"I know. Then why don't you go into the water and take a look at those bottom-hanging floor cages when your clothes are wet? Can't you close the bottom-hung cages? Didn't you be able to close them before?"
Ye Yaodong originally wanted to tell her in detail tomorrow, but since he was in a hurry, he didn't finish loading the kelp into the car, so he just said it.
"It wasn't because of the two fools A Zheng and Xiao Xiao. They threw a lot of traps around the reef in the past two years, trying to catch sea cucumbers and little green dragons..."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised when he said it in a low voice.
"Then if we collect all those cages, how much cargo will there be? How many tons?"
"More than that, maybe more than ten tons, hundreds of cages. If one cage is full, let's say at least two to three hundred kilograms of goods. But many of them are dead, but there are also a lot of live ones. If you get them all, you will make a profit."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Then they accidentally did something good and fulfilled it for you?"
"If they help me, they are also fools. They have no equipment to go into the water, and they keep throwing cages under the water in an attempt to make back their money. As a result, they are all stuck together, and even the cage that I put down yesterday is also hooked.
If we stay there, my whole army will be wiped out."
"It would be a big project to collect all the hundreds of floor cages underneath, and it would be laborious. All I earn is my hard-earned money."
Lin Xiuqing said: "Haha... Then let's collect them slowly after a while when we have a little free time. There are hundreds of them. You don't even know how many times you will have to go into the water. You have to call more people."
"For sure, I definitely won't do it myself. When dad comes back in a few days, he will transfer the people from the Dongsheng to go into the water. There are all young and middle-aged people on the ship. Those who have been screened before are all those who can go into the water before."
"Well, take your time, it won't disappear anyway. Have you seen any abalone on the reef?"
"Yes, but most of them are blocked by ground cages. Some ground cages are hung on the reef. I don't know if they are hanging on the reef themselves or if they are hit by the waves."
"As long as you have those cages, you can easily harvest a batch of abalone."
"Well, let's see, I don't know if there's enough time."
Think about hundreds of cages. Although they are full, you can make a fortune by collecting them, but if there are hundreds of cages, you don’t know if you can collect them all in a month.
Next comes the flood season for squid and jellyfish, and he has to go fishing for sea urchins. He will definitely have to run around.
I don’t know if Lin Jishang can get two more sets of diving equipment over there?
He was caught smuggling a few days ago. I wonder if he was implicated. I guess the channels have been cut off, right?
I haven't seen anyone yet, and I don't know what his current situation is. Shenlong is always missing and it's hard to contact him.
"Have you heard any news about Lin Jishang or his cousin Zhou Yechi in the past two days? Is there any news about it?"
"No, I haven't heard any rumors. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I've just been thinking about it for many days. I don't know if there are any results from him. I want to ask if you have heard any gossip. After all, there are three aunts and six women in our workshop, and nothing can be hidden from them."
If there are no rumors at all, it means it hasn't been revealed yet, and maybe even the families of the smugglers don't know they were caught.
After all, these smugglers may not come back for months once they leave home.
"I haven't heard anything. If I had heard something, I would definitely tell you. Why did you ask him all of a sudden? It has nothing to do with us anyway. If you ask more, you might think that we have something to do with him.
Relevance.”
"It's normal to ask out of curiosity. It's normal for fellow villagers to be concerned."
"It's only been a few days, and the city probably can't find our village yet. You might as well go to the city and ask your godfather, he might know more."
Chapter completed!
