At night, the waves had not receded and were still a bit strong. Not long after the fishing boats set off from the shore, they all returned together.
But they can't joke with their lives. This rain has taken away more than two lives. They don't know if there are dead people elsewhere.
It has been raining for the past 20 days, and the roads are not good. There is nothing major, no one goes out to visit, and the news is still closed.
Everyone was talking about whether they could go out tomorrow night.
Ye Yaodong thought the same way. After returning home, he lay down on the bed and continued to sleep for a while.
When his mother came over early the next morning, he heard about the old lady's nonsense yesterday, and he immediately looked at the old lady dumbfounded.
The old lady also came here with her mother. She said it had been raining and she hadn't been here for more than 20 days. She didn't see him or the children and missed them.
"My dad is only over 50, how can he possibly retire? He is willing, but I am not willing either. He is only over 50, and there are still decades of good life left. Retiring so early will make your bones rusty. But if you want to move here, you can
Okay, let’s move here to make it more lively.”
The old lady hurriedly smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, no, you can't sleep now, so I came here to cause trouble for you. I live in an old house, and it's good to have my parents to take care of me."
"It's just a matter of adding more chopsticks, but it's true that I can't sleep. But it's easy to handle. Just build another house. Anyway, there is open space next to it. It happens that the vegetable field is not planted very close to the house.
Build another house on the vacant land, drill a hole through the wall inside the house, and install a door."
"Don't go to the trouble and make a fuss about building a house? There are so many empty rooms in the old house. What a waste. We have enough to live in. Don't bother..."
Mother Ye also rolled her eyes and said angrily: "You have so much money and you have nowhere to spend it. How can you build a house? Just enough sleep is enough. Your wife can take care of three children. If you have one more old lady to take care of,
How did she get here so busy?"
After saying this, the old lady was not happy, "Where do I need to take care of me? I am very trouble-free, and I don't wander around."
Ye's mother glanced at her and didn't say anything about her. She was old and no matter how easy it was, others could still pay some attention to her.
However, Ye Yaodong felt that he had to buy a house to take the old lady over, and he was not worried about living in the old house. After all, he only lived to be 85 years old in his previous life. In the spring of 1987, he fell in the old house and did not survive.
After being accepted to live with him and leaving the old house, she might be able to escape her predetermined fate and live longer. After all, she has always been in good health.
Moreover, after getting the radio, her face was glowing and she was in good spirits during this period. Before, she showed off to the old lady in the village everywhere. His mother said that she was so angry that she scolded his father yesterday.
It shouldn't be a problem to live a few more years.
It just so happened that she also wanted to live here. The younger generation was all here, and it was noisy and lively.
When people get old, don’t they just want their children and grandchildren to be around and lively? The radio can only kill time, but it cannot replace children and grandchildren.
He thought about it in his mind, and happened to be building a house next to Zhou's house on May Day. Although it stopped raining for more than 20 days, it has cleared up now and construction has started.
It just so happens that we can get some materials from him, and the master's labor is also ready-made. You can spend some money and borrow it for a few days, or you can get some materials and find a few more people to do it. It's just a small room.
It doesn't cost much.
My mind goes back and forth a thousand times, but in fact, all my thoughts have been planned in just a moment.
He smiled and said: "Yes, you save a lot of trouble, and you can also help take care of the children. They say that if there is an elder in the family, if there is a treasure, you are it."
The old lady smiled happily and said, "You don't think I'm old, I'm useless."
Ye Yaopeng said with a smile: "It doesn't take much to build another house. Dongzi and I have houses on opposite sides, so it's very convenient to build an additional house."
"Don't bother, I'm fine living in the old house." The old lady refused with a smile, then sat on the chair by the door and continued to play with her radio.
Next to her, Mrs. Lan was drying clothes and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are very lucky. All your grandchildren want to take you over to live with them."
"Yes, they are all filial and considerate. Now that I have the blessing of children and grandchildren, it's worth closing my eyes now."
"Why are you saying this?" Ye Yaodong said displeased.
"Well, don't say this, don't say this...hehe... I'll make the sound louder and let's listen to the book together."
"It's good to listen to books! It's been raining, and the old lady hasn't been here for a while. We can't even listen to books if we want to." Sister-in-law Lan was also at the door, and she raised her voice when she heard this.
"Haha~ The weather is nice today~ You can sit at the door and listen to a book."
Ye Yaodong sat at the door with him and listened for a while. It was now late June, and the sun was very bright in the morning, but it was blocked by the black grid, and only a little light shone through.
Fortunately, there is such a sunshade net tied above the head. It doesn't get hot at all when everyone sits at the door, and the wind blows and feels quite cool.
When night time came, Ye Yaodong got up as usual. Is the wave too big? Can the boat go out? You have to get up and drive the boat out for a while to see if the waves along the coast are big. Only then can you know.
Just because there are no waves on the shore does not mean there are no waves in the sea outside.
This was the case yesterday. In the evening, there were no waves along the shore. But when we drove out at night, the waves along the shore were quite big, so everyone had no choice but to return without success.
Tonight, the waves on the sea surface were lighter and the wind was bearable. The fishing boats were bold enough to head towards the offshore waters.
Ye Yaodong planned to visit his old place today. During the day, he invited his eldest and second brothers. However, they were not prepared to move. He felt that he was more familiar with his "responsibility field". There must be big fish after the big wave, so he did not plan to follow
He mixes.
If you don't want to go with him, don't go with him. He doesn't care.
After Ye Yaodong put down the row of hooks, he planned to go around the reef to see if the branches he placed were still there. Although such a long time had passed, even if there were squid eggs on them, they would have hatched long ago. Maybe even the branches and buoys were gone.
It was destroyed by the waves.
But at least go and take a look. If it is still there, you can take it back to dry and use it as firewood. The quantity he put in before was quite large and cannot be wasted. If you take it back and use it as firewood, it can burn for a month.
He just had a good imagination, but when his boat sailed over, he couldn't even find the buoys. He had cast two batches and tied several buoys, but now there was no one left.
"Forget it, it's gone, let's go trawl the net!"
"Is it possible that the father and son brought people here? Then they took away all our branches?" Father Ye couldn't help but guess.
"It's very possible. After all, we went to my elder brother's place to catch mullet for several days. Maybe I was so angry that he came here to block me the next day. Regardless of them, no one
I have nothing to do all day long to run around with them, not to mention that the heavy rain has just passed and everyone wants to make a good profit."
"Well, you're right."
"Let's go, you sail the boat and I'll sort out the fishing nets."
He just didn't know which sea area the father and son were fishing in. Otherwise, he could just call a few people and boats to block them.
The fishing nets were lowered into the sea little by little, and the fishing boats slowly began to move. The sunshade nets above their heads were blown by the wind.
This sunshade net is a grid, which is air-leakable and will not be blown by the sea wind and affect the operation of the boat.
Although it is said that it can provide shade, Ye Yaodong still wears his sun hat for double protection. In this summer, the sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is blowing, and the big white pig cannot resist it.
I collected a net and caught hundreds of kilograms of fish, shrimps and crabs. The harvest was twice the usual amount. There were also three small bluefin tuna in it. It was a pity that it only weighed more than ten or twenty kilograms. But even so, Father Ye
They also smiled happily and narrowed their eyes.
"Sure enough, there is good stuff. Three small bluefin tuna can be sold for a good price. It would be better if they were a little bigger."
Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied. He first picked out three bluefin tuna and bled them, then put them in another basket and sprinkled them with ice.
There is no rush to pick out the remaining fish, shrimps and crabs. The sun has just come out and it is still cool. It is not too late to wait until the fishing net is put down again before picking.
He hauled three more nets one after another. Somehow, in this area today, all he harvested were tuna, weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms.
"Have the entire school of fish been driven here by the waves? Hey... no, these are just bomb fish in this net. Good guys, they are fishing in troubled waters and got mixed into the tuna just because they look like them?"
Ye Yaodong said as he pulled out four bomb fish from the pile of fish that had just been poured out, "The disguise is very good, and the body shape and weight are kept about the same."
Father Ye smiled and said: "These two kinds of fish are basically the same. Bomb fish are often mixed into tuna, which is normal. You go and bleed first, and I will cover these fish and shrimps with ice and put them in the cabin until they dock.
Then pick them up to avoid being damaged by the sun."
"Well, let's take advantage of the abundance of goods today and go to the Internet cafe again. I haven't gone to sea in more than 20 days. I'll go back later today. I'll walk around the surrounding waters for a few times. When the homework is almost done, we'll go back and hurry up.
Setting up the net again along the coast can also save some time on the way back."
"Alright."
After the father and son finished their work, they put the net out one last time, and the joy of the harvest remained on their faces.
When it got dark and they were approaching the coast, the father and son planned to set up the net. However, at this moment, they found that the boat suddenly moved very slowly, as if it was stuck, and swayed back and forth with the flow of the sea water.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know? Is there something wrong with the engine?"
"Close the net first and check it later."
But when they were raising the net, the father and son were shocked again. The net-raising machine could not pull up the fishing net underneath!
"What's going on?"
The net hoisting machine has been running there, but for a while, the fishing net did not move at all, and there was no movement of being pulled up at all. This has never happened before.
What's underneath? It can't even pull up the net machine?
Some time ago, there were some irregular updates. Today I will add an update to compensate everyone. I apologize and thank you for your support!
