The waves surged along the way, and the fishing boat rose and fell. The boat was a little unstable, shaking violently, and not as smooth as when it came.
When the waves are high, they can hit the deck, which is a bit thrilling. They need to grab something for support, otherwise they will not be able to stand.
They didn't have time to see or pay attention to those goods. The excitement was almost over. Now everyone was paying attention to how high the waves were rolling on the sea. They prayed that the next waves wouldn't be bigger, otherwise they could only
Find a place to stop on the way.
The waves are ruthless, safety first.
Fortunately, although the waves were a bit bigger, after leaving that area and sailing for two or three hours, the waves became smaller, but not that gentle.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, but don't expect anything to happen when they are about to get home.
"The sea was very stormy. A wave just came up and splashed all over me. I was so frightened that I thought I was going to fall into the water."
"Me too, my hand hurts when I hold the edge. Fortunately, the wave has passed."
Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief, then went to pick up the basket placed in the cabin and took out the dry food inside, "Eat some cakes to calm down the panic and cushion your stomach. It's already three o'clock. It's estimated that we will arrive in three or four hours. Today
The return trip will take longer than the trip here, it is estimated to take fourteen to five hours."
Each of them took a salty biscuit and started to eat it.
"It doesn't matter if it takes longer, as long as we can get home safely."
"The risk at sea is too great. We should go back as soon as possible."
Ye Yaodong also took a bite. It was dry. He went to get a knife, cut the cross section of the light cake, put in the extra fried cake he bought in the morning, and ate it. He felt that it tasted much better.
He chewed and said: "So, the next generation should not let them become seamen. If they can study, they should study hard. Studying is the easiest way out for us poor country people."
"Whoever doesn't want to have a top scholar in his family must have this destiny. There were not many literate people in the eighteenth generation of our ancestors."
"Everyone knows that reading is good. A few years ago, if you could read, you could become an official. But the children at home get headaches when they read books. They are not that good."
"I won't starve to death anyway, as long as I have something to eat."
"That's right, then you can earn more money, and it will be the same if I have money to protect you."
"I gave birth to a son to support him in old age, why should I work hard to earn money to support him?"
It's hard to say...
Ye Yaodong took two bites of the cake silently. Fortunately, his son would be able to be self-reliant in the future and marry his own wife to support the family instead of relying on me.
When I show off, it seems that there is some use in forcing myself...
He shook his head. He still had to work harder to make up for the regrets of his previous life and create better living conditions for his family.
Looking around, the sea water changes from clear to green, from green to blue, from blue to blue. You can't see the edge at a glance, and the waves brought by the boat are rolling gently.
Everyone originally thought that they would be able to get home safely, but no one expected. Just after returning to the familiar sea area, they were happy for a while, but they found that Brother Ye's boat had fallen behind.
The ship was always sailing behind, and they would only occasionally turn around to see if the ship was following them. After all, the previous smuggling ship suddenly fell behind and was not discovered.
Unexpectedly, it was their turn to fall behind one of their boats. Father Pei's boat accelerated and rushed in front of their boat. He told Father Ye and others that they found out and were all shocked.
Father Ye's heart also pounded hard, and he quickly stopped the boat, "Why didn't you follow me?"
Father Pei also said anxiously: "Maybe something happened. We just found out that they didn't follow them. Let's go back and look for them."
It’s no wonder Ye’s father didn’t notice, he was the leader and his attention was always on the front.
Others also thought they were almost home. They were too happy to be there and their tense nerves relaxed, so they didn't pay any more attention.
Now everyone was lying on the edge of the boat, looking behind them, and saw a small black dot in the distance, motionless.
"It should be there! Fortunately, it's not dark yet, so you can still see it."
"Okay, why doesn't it stop there? Is there something wrong with the machine?"
"Maybe the machine really stopped moving."
"Could it be that the waves were too big before? The sea water came up and the machine kept running, causing a malfunction?"
"It's hard to say. The machines on this ship are very easy to break. That ship was left behind by my grandfather. It was confiscated when the production team was established. It was almost scrapped when it was disbanded and returned. Later, it was repaired bit by bit by my father.
I guess there are quite a lot of problems.”
…
Father Ye's and Father Pei's boats turned around at the same time and headed towards the little black spot in the distance.
Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua and a few people on the boat were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They were almost at the door of their home, but the machine suddenly stopped moving and the boat drifted with the current on the sea.
The boats in front of us hadn't noticed yet, but they immediately called the sky and the sky to stop responding. The ground and the ground became inoperable. The sky was completely dark, and it was hard to see boats on the sea. Most fishing boats had docked at this point.
Just when they were helpless, the two boats in front turned back, and they almost cried with joy.
As the two boats got closer, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone on the boat was standing there intact.
When we got close to the boat, Ye's father yelled, "What's wrong with you? If the boat was broken, wouldn't you have shouted louder or waved the flag earlier? If my in-laws hadn't caught up and told me, I wouldn't have paid attention."
Ye Yaodong changed the subject and said: "How could it be broken if it was good? Did water get in from the waves before?"
"We think so too, but we have to ask the master to take a look at the situation after we dock. We don't know how to repair the machine."
"We're at the door of the house. As soon as possible, we quickly took out the ropes from the cabin and tied up the boat. Fortunately, it didn't get flooded and we could drag it back." Father Ye was startled and spoke in a strong tone.
Rushed.
By the time they tied the two brothers' boats behind the two boats, it was already dark, and each of them either put on a headlamp or turned on a flashlight for lighting.
Fortunately, we are almost home. Slow down a little slower. At this time, there are no ships in sight on the surrounding sea.
They drove forward slowly. The journey that originally took only two hours ended up driving for another three hours.
The return trip was a lot more complicated than the trip there, but fortunately it was a near miss.
They first docked at the pier in the town and let Chen Jiannian get ashore first, and then continued to drive forward. It took almost half an hour to reach the pier in the village.
What they didn't expect was that they thought there would be no one at this point on the shore. After all, it was almost 9 o'clock, but they found that there were seven or eight young adults waiting on the shore, and everyone was stimulated by the flashlight shining on them.
They all squinted their eyes.
The people on the shore were also shocked by them. They didn't expect that there would be a boat docking so late?
When the boat arrived at the shore, both parties saw clearly who the other party was. They both breathed a sigh of relief and asked questions at the same time.
"Just came back?"
"Are you still here?"
"Yeah, I just got home and I was exhausted from the journey."
"Well, it shouldn't be easy to be away from home, right?"
Ye Yaodong was the first to get off the boat and nodded, "It's not that easy to make money."
As he said this, he planned to start handing out cigarettes again, but he didn't have enough cigarettes on hand. Since he was about to return home, he didn't prepare a few more packs of cigarettes. One pack of cigarettes was almost exhausted after smoking it all day.
Lin Jishang waved his hand, "I have."
"I haven't seen it for a while, so I thought..."
"The wind was very tight some time ago." He just whispered casually and then changed the subject, "Is there a lot of stuff on the ship? Do you want to help you move it?"
"There is no need to move. We hired several long-term workers."
The people on the boat also moved their things down one after another. Lin Jishang was surprised when he saw the things on it, "What are you going to do?"
"No, I'm an honest man. These were fished from the sea. Many of them were soaked in water. I don't know if they are useful. Let's take them back and check them first."
"Is this a ship in distress?"
His heart suddenly skipped a beat. At this point, wouldn't it be their ship?
He quickly asked, "Where did you salvage this?"
"It is at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang, and has just entered the sea area of ​​Fujian Province."
He breathed a sigh of relief, "It looks like it should be very lively and lively over there."
"It's quite lively. It's not inferior to our town. It may even be more lively. I personally saw forty or fifty boats passing by together."
Lin Jishang opened his mouth in surprise, but didn't say anything.
"Okay, it's been a tiring day, so I'll go back first. Let's have a drink together when we have time. I also brought you some specialties, and I'll take them to your house tomorrow."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
"Seeing that you have unloaded a lot of things on the ship, I have a few pallets here. You can push two of them over first."
Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at the baskets, bamboo flats, sacks and miscellaneous sundries that were already piled on the ground. They were still moving them from the boat one after another. It seemed that there were quite a lot, so he was not polite to him.
"Okay, then I'll lend you the cart and roll it out to you later."
"I'll have someone push it back for you, and then you can push it out again."
"Alright."
The conversation between the two was quite reserved and they didn't say anything very clearly. Others were carrying the goods on the ship back and forth, so they didn't have time to pay attention to what they said.
It would be easier to have a trolley to help push it back, and Father Ye and the others also politely thanked him again and again.
After they walked away, they didn't talk about it. After all, the people who helped push the cart were people from Linjishang.
It was dark on the road, and there was no light at the door of the house. They were probably asleep.
They didn't call before they came back to say they were coming back today. Ye Yaodong planned to give his family a surprise to save them from waiting from morning to night.
What he didn't expect was that there was actually someone sitting at the door waiting so late at home.
Before they even got close to the door, the lights in the house suddenly turned on, and then the lights in the two houses next door also turned on. After a while, the three families all rushed out at the same time.
Chapter completed!
