Although he thinks Brother Ah Sheng is a pretty good person, he is not a big boss. A little money leaking between his fingers is enough for him.
My debts haven't even been settled yet, and there's still a few thousand dollars left in the balance of the boat.
He had just made some money, but his second uncle thought that he had made so much money, and his attitude was different from before. He was still nagging about asking him to recruit Brother Aseng, ugh~
There are probably many people who think this way, but they just haven't come up to him to say it.
When he really makes a fortune and has money, he really doesn't mind helping him. After all, he is a member of his family, and he has a good impression of this hard-working cousin.
Now, we have to wait for him to get rich first. What he earned this year is not enough to buy a boat, so where can he go?
When one person becomes rich, he can lead others to become rich as well.
The weak light of the flashlight illuminated his path forward in a flash. On a cold day, there was no one on the road. There was only the sound of the howling wind, and the villagers had already huddled under the covers.
However, the lights in several houses by their beach were still bright, the men had gone back to their houses to sleep, and the women were still killing fish there.
When he walked to the door of his house, he wanted to tell his mother to take a rest early but swallowed it down, but his mother would not listen to his nice words...
Moreover, his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were going out to sea with the fishing boat at night. They really had to kill all the fish tonight and dry them in the sun. They couldn't keep them overnight.
Hearing the noisy noise coming from the elder brother's room, he changed his voice and shouted: "Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, go home and sleep!"
"Ah? So fast? The eldest aunt and the second aunt didn't call Brother Ahai and the others to sleep." Ye Chenghu hurried out as soon as he heard his name being called.
"You don't care what time they go to bed. Come home and go to bed quickly, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"I'm not sleepy yet, I want to play some more."
"Don't want the reward?"
"Okay..." Ye Chenghu was unwilling to give up and reluctantly pulled Ye Chengyang out.
Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye were curious when they saw how easily he was captured, and asked one after another: "What kind of reward is it?"
Ye Chenghu proudly said loudly: "My father said that if I get 100 points in two exams, he will take me to the city to play."
"No wonder Ahai has been asking his father recently, saying that his third uncle has been running back and forth to the city. Why hasn't his father gone?"
"Ah Jiang, too, keeps asking, why doesn't his father follow his uncle's lead and sell dried fish in the market? People say that his third uncle has made a lot of money..."
"Is this what his father can earn? The family's boat still needs to be sailed. If you hire someone, you might not make any money, and your things will be gone. How can you move your mouth so conveniently?"
"Take it directly to his third uncle. It will save us trouble and make money without taking risks..." Sister-in-law Ye also spat.
"That is to say, how can there be such easy money? It's so far away. Running back and forth, no tolls? No energy? What does he want to do if he just thinks about others?"
"I guess I want to go to the city. If I have time to spare some time, I'm going to give him a beating. I dare to think about this. I haven't even been to the city or the county seat."
When Ye Chenghai and the others heard Ye Chenghu's yelling, they ran out to hear what they were talking about, but when they heard that they were about to be beaten, they immediately shrank and shivered.
Ye Mu also said: "It's best not to take Chenghu with you, otherwise your heart will become wild once you go there. How can you still go to school well?"
Yes, that’s right!
All the children in the room nodded wildly.
But Ye Chenghu's eyes widened and he ran to Ye Yaodong, "Dad has already made a promise. You can't go back on it. You can't lie to others. If you lie to others, your nose will grow longer."
Ye Yaodong gently patted the back of his head twice, "If you don't go back on your word, I will keep my word. If you get two 100s in the test a few more times, I will take you there a few more times and make others jealous."
Ye Chenghu was happy, "Okay."
"Let's go, go home and sleep."
"Um."
He nodded heavily and followed his father home with Ye Chengyang. A large group of children in the room behind looked at him with jealousy and envy.
Their mothers would only say that they would be caught and beaten. Third uncle, please do it~
Everyone is thinking, "Why am I not the third uncle's child? Alas~"
Early the next morning, it was still dark, and it was late in winter. It was still dark outside at five o'clock. No one went to sea at this time, so the three of them walked on the road with flashlights.
The village went out to sea either at two or three o'clock in the night, or just after dawn, and it was still quiet when we walked to the pier.
Ye Yaodong had prepared everything and put it on the boat the day before. The oil was also filled and kept there. They didn't need to prepare anything today.
After using bamboo poles to punt the boat away from the shore, the boat slowly accelerated.
Ye Yaosheng and Ye Yaodong stood together and said with a smile: "My father was indeed a bit verbose yesterday, don't worry about it."
"Ah? It's nothing. It's normal for my second uncle to worry about you. Whoever's son feels sorry for him. If you work so hard, you will get rich sooner or later!"
"Haha, I don't expect to get rich. Who knows if I will have such a fate. Anyway, I can make a living and live a good life."
"Sure, life is what people make of it." Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder.
"Dongzi, I would like to ask if Aguang's boat is still available for rent?"
"What? You want to rent it?"
He smiled and said, "Yes, I have always wanted to rent it. At first I thought he was going to keep a boat and drive it himself, but later I saw that he actually rented it to a rat."
"Now that it has been taken back, I just wanted to ask if I would like to find someone to rent it to. It had been raining a while ago, so I didn't have a chance to ask. I must be reliable and I will definitely not hide anything..."
Ye Yaodong said with some embarrassment: "I don't know if he still rents? It should be no longer? It's almost spring, and now I'm collecting dried fish, and the income is not bad, they must be thinking of starting their own boat
I can earn a little more.”
"A boat has already been sent out. They probably won't send another boat out unless they buy another one, or they don't really want to do it. Uncle Pei wants to retire, so maybe it will."
Ye Yaosheng nodded, and the expression on his face was not very disappointing, which was expected.
"I know, I guess so."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong is also thinking that after he gets his big boat, he won't be able to take care of it and will definitely have to ask his father to take care of it. Then he will see if his father wants to drive it himself or just follow A Guang's example.
If he followed the example of A Guang and the others in collecting rent, he would ask Brother A Sheng to open the business. The money would not go to outsiders, and his father would be able to collect the goods at home. His father is already old anyway.
"When the time comes, worship Mazu more often, and a person's luck will not always be bad, but will always get better."
"Well... I hope so..."
As they chatted, the sky turned white, the darkness was gradually dispersed, the field of vision broadened, and there was no need to use a flashlight.
As the sky gradually became brighter, the three people on the boat discovered a small wooden boat floating not far away. The shape was very similar and could be recognized at a glance.
All three of them's eyes lit up.
"There's a boat!"
Father Ye also quickly turned the boat's bow and sailed towards the small wooden boat.
There was no one seen above, and it looked like it was ownerless. I didn't know if it had lost contact, so there was only one small boat floating on the sea.
Ye Yaosheng said happily: "I didn't expect that as soon as we drove out, we could pick up a small wooden boat for nothing before we even got there. The yellow paper I just burned was not in vain."
"Let's get closer first and take a look."
Ye Yaodong is not as happy as he is. The boat has been drifting for who knows how long. Who knows if it is still useful?
As the fishing boat approached, Ye's father also gradually slowed down. The two of them saw the fishing boat clearly before Ye's father did. Goosebumps suddenly appeared on their bodies and expressions of disgust appeared on their faces.
"Ouch~ What's on that, why is it so disgusting?" Ye Yaodong was extremely disgusted.
"I don't know, it's still moving. It looks like a long sandworm, so it won't be able to climb onto the boat. Sandworms grow in the beach. This looks disgusting."
Ye Yaosheng was also extremely uncomfortable looking at the densely packed squirming things on it, each of which looked like long earthworms. It was disgusting to look at them so densely.
It’s also their fault that their eyesight is too good…
After Ye's father got a little closer to see it clearly, he also stopped and hesitated whether to get closer. He also felt that the squirming things on it were too disgusting.
He walked towards the two of them and shouted: "What's up there? Do you see it clearly? Do you recognize it?"
"I don't know, looking at the whole boat, it's more scary than the rocks on our shore...ah, no, there should be barnacles growing on them." Ye Yaodong reacted instantly.
Ordinary bugs cannot survive in the sea, and this boat has been floating in the sea for an unknown period of time. It is normal for it to be attracted by barnacles.
The whole boat was tingling with secrets, probably from various varieties of barnacles and shellfish.
Ye Yaosheng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, "It's true that there are barnacles, but what are those long strips of meat that are covered tightly on the barnacles..."
"Meat from various barnacles?" Ye's father was also more inclined, believing that the squirming meat strips were the tentacles of barnacles.
"It shouldn't be wrong. If you get closer and take a look, you don't have to get too close. It's all drifting over slowly and smoothly."
"Then let's take a look first."
Ye Yaosheng said: "I'm going to get a long hook. When I get close, I can hook it up easily."
"The long hook is over there in the corner."
