"How long will it take for you to save slowly? It doesn't cost much to buy a small wooden boat. I'll lend it to you first, and you can pay me back gradually after you earn it. I also believe in you. I see that you are very hard-working, otherwise
I won’t lend it to anyone else.”
Except for a few childhood friends, this was the first time he took the initiative to lend money to help.
Ye Yaosheng sighed, "I spent a lot of money on medical treatment in the past few years. In the past two years, I have slowly paid back the money, and I feel a little more at ease. I owe people money, which is stressful. Keep it in your heart and eat it.
If I don’t eat, I can’t sleep well at night. I just need to take my time, and I won’t have a hard time now.”
"Well, forget it, you can figure it out yourself."
My personal thoughts are different. Maybe he is afraid of owing money, or he may think that his work is more stable and does not require capital.
Nor can he put a knife to someone's neck and beg them to accept his kindness.
Ye Yaosheng smiled and said, "If you are like A Guang and buy a boat and find someone to rent it, then I can do it."
"Let's talk about it later."
We haven't got the big ship yet, so hold on tightly.
"His way of collecting rent seems pretty good. If you have money, you can be like him and make multiple incomes. But buying a shop is not as cost-effective as buying a boat. The shop is far away, and you bought two
…”
"I've bought everything. It's okay. I'll buy a boat when I have money."
It's so easy to say...
Ye Yaosheng smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, if you have the ability, you can just buy it."
"I'm just a little lucky. You can do it too in the future. Life is not just what humans live..."
The two chatted while digging and felt a little closer.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Father Ye stopped the boat and the two of them looked up and realized they had arrived.
Ye Yaodong threw the screwdriver into the bucket, patted his dirty hands, "It's time to work again, close the net, close the net..."
"How about moving the boat to a corner first? Just leave it in the middle like this. It won't be easy to put things in later, and it won't be easy for people to carry the basket around."
"Then let's move to the far corner there together."
"good."
The two of them worked together to move the boat to a corner. When Ye Yaodong passed by, he kicked the crumbs of shellfish that had fallen on the deck a few times. He didn't think of taking a broom to sweep them away. They were all wearing rain boots anyway, so they couldn't do it.
Don't be afraid of having your feet cut off.
Ye Yaosheng turned around to get a broom and swept the dregs into the sea very seriously.
Ye Yaodong leaned on the side of the ship and saw it when he was collecting the buoy. He just laughed a few times and said to Ye's father who was laying the planks: "Brother Asheng is very diligent."
"You think that everyone is like you. If the broom falls over and you don't help it, you will have a good life. If you marry a good wife, everything will be arranged for you and you won't have to do anything."
"That's true. I also think that my life is good. Your life is also good. You don't have to worry about getting old in the future. The good days are still to come."
"Okay, I'm counting on you."
"It's easy to say, don't always dislike me, I will fish for you..."
Father Ye glanced at him and shook his head, "Hurry up and close the Internet cafe. There are so many words. The sky is turning red. The sun is about to rise. If you don't go faster, I will be busy until dark today."
"Isn't this being collected?" Ye Yaodong still spoke casually, but the speed of his hands was not slow. As he worked seriously, each net was turned up.
Father Ye and Ye Yaosheng were behind, one was picking up fish, and the other was pulling the fishing net and hanging it on the wooden board, waiting for all the fishing nets on the rolling wheel to rotate up, so that they could also collect the fish.
"There are quite a lot of rays today, but they are all small, no more than two pounds." Father Ye collected another one and threw it into the basket. The space at his feet was almost full, filled with rays.
"It's a little small, but that's okay. This one is a bit more expensive than the toad fish. If we sell it fresh, you can save on killing it and dry it, and you can still make more money selling it."
"Bigger is better. It would be more exciting if there were a few more big manta rays."
"Dad, you are so thoughtful, why didn't you tell me to bring a whole net of stingrays?"
"That's okay, that's better!"
Ye Yaodong feels that his father is no longer so rigid under his influence?
"Then let me collect it for you?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it..." It happened that the net of fish in his hand had almost been collected.
Father Ye took the torn rag hanging next to him and wiped his hands casually a few times. "I'll sort out the fishing net for you. I'll collect it and make it neat. Don't mess it up."
Ye Yaodong abdicated in favor of his successor, "I'll wait for you to collect a net of stingrays."
"The requirements are so high..."
"You said it yourself..."
Father Ye muttered twice more, but the wind was too loud and he couldn't hear what was said clearly.
There were a pile of baskets at his feet, the ones containing toads and fish and the ones containing rays were almost full. Ye Yaodong first asked Ye Yaosheng and the two of them worked together to lift the baskets to the side of the cabin first, so as not to get in the way.
Then he took over his father's work, tidied up the fishing net just now, knotted it and put it in the corner, then went to the side to open the unfinished fishing net and took down all the fish one by one.
When he closed the net before, he had already taken a look at it and knew what kind of fish there were, and there was no surprise at all when he opened the blind box.
He distracted his attention and looked up from time to time to see what his father had collected in the net. He never heard any surprises from his father, and he thought to himself that there probably wasn't any good stuff.
Father Ye was very calm and collected one piece after another.
Ye Yaodong didn't laugh at him either. There was a net of manta rays everywhere, and manta rays didn't originally move in groups.
Just as they were carefully closing the net, Father Ye suddenly took two steps back and said, "Ah, XX fish!"
The wind was so loud that they couldn't hear clearly what Father Ye said?
Ye Yaodong had been paying attention to his father's closing the net. As soon as he saw him taking two steps back, he immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong, dad?"
Okay, why are you moving back?
Father Ye then turned around and shouted to them loudly: "I saw a stone fish. I caught a stone fish in the sticky net."
Ah? Stone fish?
It's extremely poisonous! No wonder his father immediately took two steps back when he saw it.
"Let me see."
He took the fishing net that his father had been holding and scanned it, looking for it. With just one glance, he saw the ugly fish that was motionless and stuck to the net.
This stone fish is not amazing in appearance, only about 30 centimeters in length, and looks like a stone. It likes to hide on the seabed or under rocks, disguising itself as an inconspicuous stone.
If someone steps on it accidentally, it will immediately fight back without mercy, emitting deadly poison outwards. The 12 to 14 needle-like sharp spines on its back will easily penetrate the soles of shoes.
Stinging into the soles of the feet, the person is quickly poisoned and remains in severe pain until death.
He had encountered stonefish before when he was diving for abalone in the sea.
When he discovered it, he was lucky to have seen it move. Otherwise, if he stepped on it, he might have burped directly. Instead of being poisoned on the spot, he would have drowned in the sea water.
Unexpectedly, there was a stone fish stuck to the sticky net today, which was destined to become his nutritious meal.
He smacked it in his mouth, the fish stew was so filling~
At that time, it was also because it was difficult to catch him when he was submerged in the water, and he didn't have any tools to catch him. He was also afraid of being stabbed, so he didn't dare to provoke him and just stayed away from him.
Now that he has thrown himself into a trap, of course he accepted it without hesitation.
Father Ye saw him holding the fishing net. After the rolling wheel was completed, he dragged the fishing net to the table and followed him with concern. "Be careful when untying the fishing net. Don't get stung. This fish is very poisonous. In the past,
Someone in the brigade was poisoned, but fortunately he was sent to the Barefoot Doctor to save him."
"I know."
He had eaten this kind of fish before, and it was quite valuable in his previous life. It cost one or two hundred per pound, and some varieties cost four or five hundred. He had eaten it once with the boss of the boat, but no one dared to eat it now.
Many fish that no one eats now will have frightening price increases in the future. Thanks to Chinese people who have iron stomachs and are also gluttons, they can eat anything. As long as they are delicious, they can be farmed and raised for consumption!
"You go ahead and collect your net, and I'll catch the fish."
"Be careful, you don't know if it's dead or not. Take a knife and hit it a few times to kill it first. Then catch it and throw it into the sea." Father Ye couldn't help but said a few more words. It looked like he was honest.
I felt relieved when I went to get the knife.
Little did they know, Ye Yaodong planned to kill him and take him back to make soup.
Fortunately, he turned around and continued to close the net without looking carefully, otherwise I would have been nagging him for a long time and told him to throw it away.
Ye Yaosheng didn't think much about it when he saw it, thinking that he planned to wait for a while to free up his hand and then throw it away when it was empty.
Later, when Father Ye caught another big fish, no one paid attention to the stone fish. Their attention was diverted to that giant fish!
"Ah, so big! Dongzi...Dongzi..."
"What's so big?"
Before Ye Yaodong had even finished collecting the fish in the net, he heard his father's excited exclamation again, and he quickly dropped the net and ran over.
Before he could lie down on the edge of the boat and look down, he saw a large piece of white body as the wheel slowly turned up, and then revealed a large piece of gray back with spots.
Father Ye pulled him excitedly and said, "Fish, devil fish, there really is a huge devil!"
"Ah! So big!"
"Yeah, it's bigger than the toilet lid at home!"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
What metaphor is this?
Could it be that because I saw shipworms before, my mind connected directly to the toilet?
Ye Yaosheng also ran up to him with wide eyes and said, "It's really bigger than the lid of the toilet at home! It weighs hundreds of kilograms, right?"
Father Ye greeted them happily, "Hurry up and help lift it. This fish is too heavy. We will lift it on the table after all the remaining fishing nets are collected."
They quickly stood on both sides of the fishing net, each holding one side.
"I have never seen such a big manta ray in my life. This fish is so big. It probably weighs hundreds of kilograms..."
"Wrong, this one is a black-backed ray, not a manta ray, and the pattern on its back is different."
"Haha, Dongzi knows quite a lot. It's not like they are called so thin. Anyway, they are all the same. Don't they all look the same? Just like a big fan."
Father Ye also echoed, "It's true, aren't they all manta rays? They are called here and there, but they all look the same? They all have a smiling face."
Well...you said it's almost the same, then it's almost the same...
Anyway, it's pretty much the same...
The shape formed by the nostrils and the snout under the abdomen is like a pair of eyes with drooped corners. It is indeed very similar to their human smiling faces. It looks a bit cute, but the size is too huge!
"Hurry up and lift it to the table together..."
Chapter completed!
