After returning home, Lin Xiuqing was surprised.
"Back? So soon?"
"Then how long do you want me?"
She said angrily: "Didn't you go to literacy class? Why are you back so soon?"
"No, I went out to buy cigarettes and took a walk."
"You want to buy a cigarette and ride a bicycle? Why are your legs so valuable?"
"Isn't it? 200 meters is considered a long distance."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes. She felt a little more relaxed after listening to his nonsense, which relieved her nervousness. She touched her belly and really hoped to give birth as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.
Ye Yaodong looked at her stroking movements and comforted: "Don't worry, persistence is victory!"
"Um."
Because of what happened during the day, Ye Yaodong did not go to sea at night.
Early the next morning, I heard from the building next door that a dozen people were caught gambling in the village next door, and they were all from the surrounding villages.
"Well done. They are all a bunch of bad gamblers. We should arrest them all..."
"It's best to be locked up for a few more days..."
"It seems that we have also arrested a few in our village..."
After hearing this, he felt a little relieved. It was still necessary to gather people to gamble and squat for ten days and a half.
They are short of time now, and they will succeed if they survive this period safely.
Lin Xiuqing felt relieved after hearing that Ye Yaodong said that her cousin-in-law was caught gambling, "How many days can I be detained for this?"
"Now we will crack down hard. Small mistakes will be punished severely. You will be detained for ten days and a half, and you will also be fined a sum of money."
When she heard this, she was immediately delighted, "Great, then we can be clean for a while. What a coincidence, I just gave him the money last night and immediately heard that he was arrested."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, thinking that as soon as she went out yesterday, A Dong followed closely, and then came back after a while to ride a bicycle...
"Did you report it?" she asked quietly.
Ye Yaodong nodded.
Even if your legs and feet are broken, you can still give orders. It's better not to send it in. If you send it in, you can buy it for a long time.
You can hit someone anytime.
Moreover, as soon as the front foot came to blackmail, the back foot was beaten, which is easy to associate with him. It would be good to be sent to prison for ten days and a half.
Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "I've only been detained for a few days, so it's an advantage for him."
"Wait until you give birth safely, then teach him a lesson." Ye Yaodong touched her belly and muttered: "Be more confident and come out quickly."
"It's coming, it's coming..."
After waiting at home for two more days, Ye Yaodong, who had been calm all this time, felt relieved.
With nothing to do these two days, he stopped by Lin Jishang's house. He wanted to ask him about setting up the network machine, but his wife told him that he was not at home.
Thinking about it, he had no choice but to take it easy and come back in a few days.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jishang delivered what he wanted the next night.
"This machine is heavy, takes up space, and is not popular. It is not as easy to use as small household appliances. No one is willing to carry it, so it has been postponed until now. You can try it tomorrow."
"Thank you very much."
He pulled out two cigarettes for the boys who helped carry the machine, and everyone was taken care of.
By the way, he ran out of cigarettes a bit quickly and spent all his pocket money on them.
Lin Jishang saw that he was quite a good person, so he didn't mind helping him a little more, "Would you like to help you get on the boat?"
"Ah, that would be perfect."
"Well, by the way, the manpower is already available anyway."
As they interacted, the two of them had a tacit sense of understanding.
After carrying it on the boat, he tried running it again. After there was no problem, Ye Yaodong went back to get the money.
At night he couldn't wait to go to sea.
When Father Ye saw the net lifting machine, he was extremely surprised.
"Where did you do this?"
"What do you care about me? It's better to save effort anyway. I've been exhausted during this period."
"Your hands and feet are expensive, and everyone is like this. How much does this machine cost?"
"Don't ask, just use it if you have it."
He would get scolded if he said it, so he wouldn't say it.
"Isn't it cheap? How many hundreds?"
“It can be used for many years and is cost-effective.”
When Father Ye saw that he would not tell me how much it would cost, he cursed and said a few more words about prodigal son and stopped asking.
After using a machine to try to pull up a net, Ye's father was also happy, "This saves a lot of effort and the load-bearing capacity is good."
"Of course, otherwise why spend this money? Isn't it just to suffer less? And it's much faster to use a machine than to use human power."
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he untied the fishing net and dumped all the goods on the deck. Because it was too dense and there were too many goods, the fish were crushed to death, but most of the crabs and shrimps were still alive and kicking.
Can jump.
The father and son quickly arranged the fishing nets, and then continued to put them down happily. Then one of them sailed the boat and the other sorted them.
In order to haul more goods at once, Ye Yaodong's second network deliberately worked for a little longer before launching the network.
Under the pulling force of the net lifting machine, the fishing net begins to gradually tighten on the sea surface. After it is completely tightened, as the pulling force becomes stronger and stronger, the fishing net is slowly pulled out of the water.
They also clearly saw a large bag full of white pomfret in the fishing net!
Unexpectedly, the second net was full of fish. I encountered a school of white pomfret. One bag weighed more than 100 kilograms. Father Ye was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Fishermen's trawlers love to encounter schools of fish.
"White pomfret is good, white pomfret is good, this bag is quite big."
Ye Yaodong was also happy, then he poured it out and fiddled with it a little, "There are at least five taels of white pomfret in this net, and they are all big white pomfret."
"Then continue to put it in this area."
"OK."
I put in two more nets in a row. The quantity at the back is smaller and there are more groceries, but it really saves a lot of effort. I don’t have to drag it for a long time.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Yaodong went to the reef in advance to collect the ground cages. When he went to sea at night, he lowered a row of ground cages to the reef as usual.
You have to work hard to get the wool, and sea cucumbers are so expensive, so you can’t miss them.
It's just that the first floor cage today was stuck and couldn't be pulled.
"I'll go into the water and take a look. I'll tie up the diesel engine underneath and use a machine to pull it up later."
Father Ye frowned, "Then be careful. Find the ground cage first, and then tie up the machine."
"knew."
Ye Yaodong put on his equipment again, and after a simple warm-up exercise, he dived into the water. He ignored the fish and shrimps he saw along the way and went straight to the bottom of the sea to save time.
Today's ground cage is easy to find because it lays relatively densely.
As soon as he came down, he saw four stuck in a row, two stuck in the crevices of the reef, one hooked by the coral reef, and the third one was hooked by the sharp top of the reef.
The four of them were a little far apart, but luckily, they were fairly easy to find. When he came down, he walked around and saw them.
He rescued the ground cages one by one and put them aside. He took a look at the harvest inside. There were many and some, mostly fish, including a few small green dragons.
There are also unstuck ground cages on the seabed not far away. The cages sunk on the sand on the seabed can harvest more sea cucumbers. After all, sea cucumbers move slowly.
He just left these things waiting for his father to pull them up. He swam directly towards the sunken ship in the distance and got straight to the point.
Then he lowered the rope on his back and tied the large diesel engine tightly.
Activities in the sea are not as good as on the shore. He worked hard for a while before tightening the machine. After undoing the screws that fixed it underneath, he was very tired.
But thinking that the net bag around his waist was still empty, he got off the sunken ship again and swam to the bottom of the sea.
But I happened to see a chubby sea cucumber being hugged tightly by a starfish.
That’s okay!
What a waste of natural resources.
He reached out and picked up the starfish and threw it aside, and then picked up the sea cucumber. He probably hadn't had time to enjoy it yet, because the sea cucumber was still intact.
After receiving it in the net bag, he slowly moved towards the reef.
Digging for abalone is easier, as he doesn't have to look for it everywhere. The last few times he has been in the water, he has been on a mission and has come and gone in a hurry. There is not much free time for him to slowly find sea cucumbers, so he can only try to pack as much as possible.
But his sharp eyes also allowed him to catch two from the seaweed nearby.
When the net bag was filled to seventy percent, he was almost reaching the limit.
He quickly returned to the sunken ship, pulled the rope in his hand, and quickly floated up. He happened to see a cage next to him, and he also pulled it up, and they surfaced together.
Having seen him go into the water several times with his own eyes, Father Ye was less worried today. He only asked with concern: "How's it going? Are they all tied up? The ground cage was pulled smoothly today, but the first one got stuck.
I’m not stuck anymore.”
"That's because I just freed all the stuck cages. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so smooth. There's a hidden reef underneath."
As he spoke, he climbed up, temporarily tied the rope tied to the machine in his hands, pulled up the net bag first, and poured all the goods into the basket.
Father Ye took a glance and saw that they were all abalones. He was not disappointed, but he was not very happy either. He had seen too many things and was not new or surprised...
"Wait a minute, after the two ground cages have been collected, we will pull up the machine."
Ye Yaodong nodded and left the ground cage to his father. He went to hang the rope on the net machine first and made preparations in advance.
After Ye's father freed his hands, he started the machine.
The rope was slowly rolled up section by section. As the tension increased, the net hoisting machine also began to make a tightening sound. This made Ye Yaodong and Ye's father, who had been paying attention, crane their necks to look at the sea.
After a while, a large machine slowly surfaced on the surface of the water. The father and son happily came to the edge and helped lift it when they were pulling it ashore.
After the machine landed steadily on the deck, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, we have a net lifting machine, otherwise we wouldn't be able to pull it up by manpower, and we would have to call in a few more people."
"When I get back, I'll ask a master to come and clean it to see if it can still be used."
"Well, it's a pity that the boat can't be fished out."
"It would be nice to be able to fish this machine out. Let's go, collect the longline and go back early."
On the way back, they bumped into Xiaoxiao and Azheng. It turned out that they were working in the sea not far from them.
After saying hello to each other and chatting for a few words about the harvest, everyone walked back together.
When we arrived at the shore, we met A Guang's boat, which also docked at the same time. The three boats docked side by side. Everyone had a good harvest. Baskets of fish were piled on the deck, and everyone had a smile on their face with the harvest.
The brothers who had been trash together all boarded the ship, and Ye Yaodong was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Chapter completed!
