A roll of film can take about 36 pictures. He originally took a lot of pictures with the camera inside, but now he only took a few pictures and then disappeared. Fortunately, his own pictures were taken in.
There was no film left, so he put the camera away, and Director Chen also asked people to hoist the basking shark onto the Great Liberation, and also asked Ah Cai and Agui to take out the remaining ice cubes in their small hut and pour it onto the Great Liberation.
.
If there are ice cubes, it will be better if the temperature drops a little.
After the work was done and it got dark, several nearby families came out with flashlights to help illuminate the scene. Director Chen and the others thanked him for finishing the work and planned to go back.
After all, it was getting dark and it was too late today, so it was too late now.
The village cadres also helped to disperse the villagers behind them. They had already seen the excitement and asked them to retreat first and make way for the two large vehicles to pass.
Although everyone still wanted to take a look at the big car and touch it a few more times, it was indeed getting dark, so they had to retreat bit by bit and head towards the village first.
I will light up the lights at home later so that I can see more clearly when the car passes by the village.
After watching the excitement, the villagers walked back in twos and threes, and two large vehicles moved slowly behind the pedestrians, one after the other.
Ye Yaodong and Secretary Chen were walking together, and they were talking about the photos as they walked.
"The film has been used up. I will take it to be washed tomorrow. I think it will be washed out in two or three days and mailed. It seems that the post office in the town only opens boxes and picks up letters every Monday. I guess it will take a while before they are mailed.
Is it after next Tuesday? It will take 10 days."
"It doesn't matter. It's not a big problem to get it early and get it late. I'm not in a hurry. I can just wait slowly."
"Then where are you going to send this basking shark? It's getting dark at night. It's too late and the road isn't very nice. Do you want to spend the night in the village and wait until dawn before leaving?"
"No, I have to go to work tomorrow, and this has to be sent to the newly established research institute in the provincial capital. The museum also wants it. After the research is completed, the materials from the body will be made into specimens and placed in the museum."
"Oh, the provincial capital? That's far enough."
"It takes seven or eight hours to walk on the road. The road is slow at night, so it will take a little longer. If it's during the day, I'm afraid of being sunburned. I'll set off at night. If I can deliver it tomorrow morning, it'll be just right."
Ye Yaodong nodded. The weather is so hot now. It would be better to leave at night. It would be better to arrive in the morning. You can slice and study it directly while it is fresh.
"Hey, that's right. Taking advantage of the low temperature at night, we can send it directly overnight and keep it fresh in time."
"Well, your village is also a geomantic treasure. Big fish appear one after another. And I just took a look. There are quite a lot of big boats on the sea. It's much better than other villages."
The village chief immediately interrupted with a smile, "The director doesn't know yet, right? Half of the boats in the village now belong to their family..."
He watched Director Chen chatting happily with Ye Yaodong, and he also liked him, holding Ye Yaodong in his arms and talking about his family fortune.
This really surprised Director Chen. He originally thought that his family's living conditions were better compared to other fishermen in the village, but he didn't expect that this boy had owned several more boats in the past six months.
He is so motivated, so powerful, and so decisive. He has a share in everything he does. Will he get rich sooner or later?
"This is quite powerful. Just do it when you think of it. It's quite strong."
Ye Yaodong laughed when he saw the village chief and village secretary taking turns bragging about him, but when he should be humble, he still said a few words of humility.
"It's not something you have to do if you have a goal, otherwise it will be gone if you keep thinking about it."
"It's true that young people are promising. Work hard and be diligent. You may be the face of your village in the future."
"It's hard to say, there are so many talented people in our village!"
For example, Lin Jishang is a very talented person, and he is so good that the whole village now thinks he is pulling a rickshaw and shining shoes. The rumors that he was a smuggler have disappeared.
The hidden richest man.
Director Chen smiled and nodded, "I'm optimistic about you."
"hey-hey……"
As they walked and chatted, they reached the fork in the road from the beach to the village. Director Chen asked the two carts to wait on the road first, so as not to be stuck in the village. He followed Ye Yaodong to his house to drive first, and the motorcycle was still there.
In his yard.
The villagers have all returned to the village, turning on the lights in their homes, and then discussing the evening's affairs with each other on the roadside, waiting for the big car to arrive.
At this time, Ye Yaodong and the others were only surrounded by village cadres, a few neighbors, and his family and brothers. After all, they all lived nearby and were on the same road.
Listening to Ye Yaodong being praised in various ways by the leaders, everyone was filled with envy, which unconsciously raised his status in their hearts.
After the leaders entered Ye Yaodong's house, everyone did not want to go back to their homes and still stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched.
It wasn't until the two tricycles were pushed out, started and sped away that everyone followed the motorcycles back towards the village.
This incident had just ended, and everyone was still very enthusiastic. They didn't want to go back to the house to sleep. They had to say that they were happy. It was rare that such a big fight happened in the village again.
Ye Yaodong stood at the door and watched the motorcycle go away, sighing slightly, "Hey, when will I be able to afford a motorcycle?"
"It's a beautiful thought, stop dreaming!"
Mother Ye gave him a rude blow, "It's enough to have a bicycle. If you have the money to buy a motorcycle, what can't you use it to buy? You can buy a few boats. They are not practical at all, so why use them?"
"How many times a month do you go out? You spend most of the month drifting on the sea. A bicycle is enough. Do you still want to ride to the capital? Don't think about other things, just make money in a down-to-earth manner.
, don’t always think about spending money.”
"If I don't spend money, how can I get the motivation to make money? Mom, if you have a motorcycle, wouldn't it be more honorable for you to go out?"
"You don't need money? Now I have a lot of dignity when I go out, and I'm already very prosperous."
Father Ye also nodded in agreement, "Your mother is right. With this money, it is better to buy a boat. How many people are reluctant to buy bicycles, so you are already thinking about buying a motorcycle. That is not practical."
"I'm just talking casually and complaining. Why are you so serious?"
"Because every time you talk about it, soon there will be another big item in the house." Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but interrupt.
"No, right? I really just thought about it this time. It's one thing if I can't afford it, and we have no way to buy it. The eliminated troops are only equipped for the local area, and it's not our turn."
"Well, just think about it."
The old lady stood at the door and shouted, interrupting their conversation, "Are you still eating? Everyone left after eating half of the food earlier. Most of the food on the table is still left. It would be a waste if we don't eat it. It will be spoiled tomorrow.
Now, my soup has been reheated..."
"Eat, I haven't eaten enough at night, and it's been two hours. Let's eat some more and go to bed." Ye Yaodong responded, and turned around and went back into the house.
Everyone followed them into the house, intending to eat some more to avoid throwing out the food and wasting it. However, Ye Mu was a little hesitant. The motorcycle left, as did the Liberation and construction trucks, but everyone was still talking about it.
If you go into the house to eat now, you won't be able to take the first bite of melon.
She stood at the door and thought for a while, then forget it. People would still be chatting and gossiping around her later when she went back. Things should not be wasted. There was only a table of good food at night. If it was thrown away, there would be thunder.
The family happily sat down to eat again, but there were only adults and no children. Except for Ye Xiaoxi, who was locked up at home and not allowed to go out, the others had disappeared since the afternoon.
Just as they were finishing up the remaining food and having enough wine, the sound of a motorcycle sounded at the door again, which surprised them all.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
"Go out and take a look?"
The whole family ran out in shock. Even the neighbors heard the sound of the motorcycle and ran out to have a look in confusion.
Before Ye Yaodong reached the entrance of the hospital, he saw Director Chen's anxious look, "Where is the nearest health center?"
"What's wrong?"
"When Jiang Zhicheng was riding on a mountain road just now, he drove to the edge of a curve without seeing the road clearly. His tires skidded, and he and the car rolled down the hillside."
"Ah? Is the injury serious?"
"It's okay to wear a helmet, but my legs and feet may be scratched or broken. I need to take them to a health center for a checkup. Where is the nearest health center?"
"Then we have to go to the town. We don't have a health center in the countryside, but there is a pharmacy in the village. The barefoot doctor also knows how to set bones and cast plasters. Why don't we check it out in our village first?"
"Okay, you can take us there."
Ye Yaodong got on his bicycle, asked their motorcycles to follow him, and took them to find the barefoot doctor in the village.
By the time I saw the doctor and bandaged my body, it was already two hours later.
During this period, he also learned about the emergency from Director Chen. It was just that the road was difficult to drive at night. There were no street lights on the road, and the light from the car lights was too poor, so he rolled down the hillside.
Fortunately, they all wore helmets, and the hillside wasn't very high, only about 10 meters. Otherwise, if it were any higher, the skin would have to peel off even if they didn't die.
The one under his hand, named Jiang Zhicheng, also had a lot of bruises on his body, and the more serious ones were fractures of his hands and feet.
When Director Chen brought the people back to him, he had already asked Da Jiefang and the construction truck to leave first, and the other people he had brought with him also followed Da Jiefang back to the city.
"Then why don't you stay here for the night? It's quite late now, and it's difficult to walk at night. It's already this hour, so it won't be too late to leave after dawn."
"I still have room to sleep at home. Our two sons can sleep with me at night, or they can sleep with the old lady at home. If the room is freed, you can just sleep there for one night. Don't bother."
Father Ye also nodded in agreement, "Yes, we are all still injured, and there were accidents at night. If we have to travel at night, we won't worry. We have a place to sleep at home and it won't be crowded."
Ye Mu also persuaded her to stay, "Yes, it's safer to leave after dawn. There was a robbery near us before, so you'd better stay here for one night."
"If we can't accommodate A Dong's family, we all have rooms that can be vacated, so don't leave at night..."
"Yes, it's too dangerous..."
Several village cadres also spoke out to persuade him to stay. After the motorcycle entered the village again, many people knew that when he was looking at the injured, several village cadres heard the news and came over one after another.
After Director Chen brought people back to see the injury, he didn't have to leave overnight. Anyway, the big truck and the construction truck had already left first.
He nodded, "I won't bother you that night. I'll just stay at Comrade Ye Yaodong's house for one night. I won't bother you."
"It's not troublesome. It's an honor for our family that our leader can live in our house. How come it's troublesome? We're too late to welcome you. We wish you could stay for a few more days." Ye Mu said happily.
"Okay, we still have the motorcycle. I'll have to ask you to help push it back later..."
"This is a small matter. Once I get back and settle down Comrade Jiang, I will immediately ask a few friends to push him back."
"Okay, I don't know what happened after the fall. I just wanted to send the person back to see his injuries and didn't take care of the car."
Ye Yaodong quickly flattered him, "Director Chen is a good leader who cares about his subordinates. Of course, people are more important at critical times."
Director Chen smiled and nodded, "Of course, things are dead and people are alive. No matter how important the things are, they are not as important as the people. It's too late to go back and look for them after you've seen the damage."
"Yes, but some people don't think so. Director Chen has seen more people than I have eaten salt, so I won't give examples. Let's go to my house first and let Comrade Jiang lie down and rest first."
"Hey, good."
Ye Yaodong helped to lift the person into the handcart again, and the others helped to disperse the villagers who were watching at the door. One of them rode a bicycle, the other a motorcycle, and headed home one after another.
There were not many people watching. There would be a little more at the beginning, but they didn’t wait patiently for two hours. Most of them just watched the excitement, stood for a while and then went back.
At this time, many people have to go back to bed and go out to sea at night.
After sending the injured person home, he called his two brothers and the villagers who had been following to watch the fun. He also called on a few acquaintances to help him.
Other men and women who also had good things to do also came together, planning to go and see the excitement together so that they could be used as conversation materials tomorrow.
They each brought a flashlight, and under the guidance of Director Chen, they walked for 20 minutes to the accident site and found the motorcycle that had rolled down the hillside.
Ye Yaodong and several other young adults looked at the nearby terrain and found a path to climb down. People on the hillside were holding flashlights to help them with lighting.
"Be careful, Dongzi..."
"Watch the road and take your time..."
"I'll just push the car downhill later. I'll push it around the fields to the road over there. I'll be carrying people on my back to the fields over there..."
"Know……"
Ye Yaodong and several young adults carefully walked downstairs by the light of their flashlights.
Each of them also had a headlamp on their head. There were so many lights shining there, and the light was not bad. They slid down as they walked, and it didn't take long before they reached the side of the motorcycle.
After rolling down such a high hillside, there were also surrounding trees and shrubs to block it. Both rearview mirrors of the motorcycle were cracked and crooked, the headlights were also broken, the sidecar was dented and flat, and the tires under the sidecar were
They all flew out, and the iron fenders on the front of the car were cracked and twisted.
A good motorcycle, from its original majestic and handsome appearance, has turned into a miserable appearance with dents, scratches everywhere.
"Ah, it fell like this... What a pity..."
"The tires have all flown off. Let's see where they went."
"It's a pity. It used to be so majestic... I don't know if it can be repaired well..."
"I heard that this car costs tens of thousands, right? Oh, it's such a pity that it fell down like this..."
"Does it have to be so expensive? A car is worth a household worth ten thousand yuan? You probably can't afford it. This car looks quite old..."
"What's old? Duola Feng. If I could have one, I would laugh so hard in my dreams. It's a pity that I can't afford the old one even if I sell it."
"No matter what, you won't even be able to afford the scrap metal after selling it."
"That's right, don't talk about old cars. If I sell them, they won't be worth the scrap metal."
"It's not that you're not worth the money for scrap metal, it's just that no one will buy you."
Ye Yaodong interrupted them while holding the motorcycle, "It's an exaggeration. The leaders have said it. Things are dead, people are alive. Things are created by people. Live and make money, and you are afraid.
Can’t afford these things? When the time comes, you will have everything, but you may even dislike it.”
"Haha, Adong is talking about himself, right? How can we afford it, and we still despise it..."
"Stop talking, just straighten the car and push it down. It's already midnight. When the work is done, there will be no need to go to sea at night..."
"Where did the tire go? I can't find it..."
"If you can't find it, you have to look for it. You spread out to find it. Let's push this car downhill first, otherwise it will always be stuck on the hillside."
"Then push this car down first...be sure and slow down first..."
"Hold the front of the car...or it will keep going down, oh..."
There was a bang and the car fell over again...
The car, which was already in pieces and covered with scars, felt even more worn out and more damaged.
"Don't look for the tires yet. Help push the car first. Someone has to hold the front of the car steady as it goes down..."
Ye Yaodong shouted, and everyone else ran back, and then slowly and steadily pushed the car down.
Two people were left to watch and hold the car while the others continued to look for tires on the hillside.
The people watching on the hillside were so anxious that they couldn't find it for a long time. They also followed it with flashlights and shone around.
After a while, someone shouted, "Found it, here it is."
"It'll be great if you find it."
"I don't know if I can repair it if I take it back. We probably don't have anyone who can repair motorcycles from all over the country."
"Just kidding, you may not be able to find someone who knows how to repair it even if you go to town or county."
"Then isn't this car totaled?"
"Push it back first. No matter if it's going to be scrapped, it's not ours anyway."
It is obviously much easier to walk on a flat road than pushing it down a slope. Although the sidecar is crooked and there is a tire missing underneath, there are people behind you who help to straighten it, so it is still very simple to push it.
They pushed it carefully and slowly along the path in the field. It was really heavy, but there were many of them, so it was okay to take turns pushing it together.
Director Chen looked at the car that was in pieces and felt regretful in his heart, "It fell too hard..."
"There was nothing I could do. It fell completely from the hillside and only one wheel came out. It was pretty good. Fortunately, I was wearing a helmet, otherwise I wouldn't know what the fall would be like."
"Yeah, what you said makes sense. Fortunately, he's fine. It's just broken bones and bruises."
Father Ye interrupted, "Push it back first, then push it back."
"Yes, push it back first. It's almost 12 o'clock. It's already midnight. Thank you for your hard work. If you go to sea at night, you won't have any rest at this time..."
"It's okay. Let's rest for a night to recharge our batteries."
Father Ye couldn't help but keep looking at him, cursing in his heart: He had already been recuperating for a day, and he still needs to recuperate? He had been recuperating for half a month before, and now he has only been out at sea for one day, and he has to rest for two days in a row.
Already?
Everyone walked and chatted, pushing the car all the way back to Ye Yaodong's house, and then, with Director Chen's thanks, everyone went back to their homes.
Since Ye Yaodong pushed the car into the yard, he has been holding the tires there to figure out how to repair them.
Although he has never learned how to repair a motorcycle, men are naturally sensitive to mechanics and will always want to study and ponder.
"Don't look at it. Let's go inside and go to bed. It's all broken like this. We can only wait until tomorrow to take a look and check it."
"Director Chen, this motorcycle has been smashed like this. Can we just report it for scrap?"
"You have to file a report, get a repair report, and go through the formalities. This is public property. If it is scrapped, it will be sold as scrap metal. The price of the property must be clearly stated."
"Then can I buy the scrap metal?"
When Lin Xiuqing heard the news of their return, she came out and watched. However, Ye Yaodong was shocked to death. She opened her mouth wide when she heard this.
It turns out he wasn’t just talking about it that night!
Really moved my mind!
However, if she could really buy it like scrap metal, it wouldn't be a loss, she would be making money. She didn't dare to say anything, biting her lower lip to hold back, fearing that she would be a disservice and would be bad if she said the wrong thing.
"Ah? You really want it? This may not be repairable, it's all broken like this."
Ye Yaodong originally mentioned it when he saw it in the county town before. Director Chen thought he was just talking, but he didn't expect that he was really moved.
"I'll buy it and give it a try. If it can't be repaired and sold as scrap metal, I won't suffer a loss. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the means to buy it. It's for military use and I can't afford it."
When he found this car and saw its broken state, Ye Yaodong knew that his opportunity had come.
As expected, Ah Qing has a good tongue and tells him what he wants. Soon there will be a big item in the house.
I just finished talking in the evening, and now the car is delivered to my door.
This is a super super super super big item!
Ordinary people can't buy it. If you can get it as scrap metal, you will make a lot of money.
As for whether it will be repaired or not, that's another matter. There won't be this store after passing this village. Let's get it first. The boat will go straight to the bridge.
Even if he doesn't know how to repair, he can still research and learn, or he can ask Uncle Zhou who drives a tractor to help. The principles of the machine should be interoperable.
Uncle Zhou usually repairs some problems with tractors himself. He has been driving tractors for more than ten years and has been sent out to learn repairs before.
There was a motorcycle for him to study and repair, and he would probably do it for free.
The opportunity to buy it is probably this one. If I don’t buy it this time, I will probably have to wait many years later, when I have made a lot of money, I can spend all my money to buy a new motorcycle.
He still prefers this kind of sidecar, which looks more majestic. Moreover, it is military-style and covered in military green, which makes it look more handsome and attractive.
Director Chen touched his chin and thought for a moment, "Selling scrap metal is not that simple and can be easily resold to others. After all, it is military supplies and they are all numbered. I will think about it for a while and think about it tonight, and we will talk about it tomorrow.
"
"Okay, don't worry, I just thought of asking casually, can you see how to make a more reasonable arrangement? If it doesn't work, forget it, I can't make it difficult for you."
"Well, let's go to bed first. We've been busy for so long and it's very late now."
After Ye Yaodong responded, he put the tire in the corner and stood it up. After checking that the courtyard door was locked, they followed him into the house.
After Lin Xiuqing and others returned to the house, she couldn't wait to pull him and said, "You really didn't mean it."
"Hehe, no, I'm really just talking. After all, the scrap metal is sold for about ten or twenty yuan. If you can get it, you can make a lot of money. Anyway, it's already broken like this."
"You don't know how to fix it."
"Are you looking down on people? I can repair bicycles."
She rolled her eyes and listened as he continued.
"If you can get this anyway, let's get it first, and then take the time to study it slowly. We can't afford new ones, and we don't have the channels to buy them. It's hard to buy a second-hand one like this."
"Didn't I tell you all? This is military material. We can only buy it as scrap metal now and repair and assemble it ourselves."
If it could be bought, of course she wouldn't object. It didn't cost much, so she wouldn't suffer any loss. If it could be repaired, it would really be a huge profit.
"Then let's see tomorrow. I don't know if Director Chen will sell it."
"Probably, it's all broken down like this. It's just a matter of his words. Write down today's accident in detail in the report. As for the waste and recycling, just use your hands and feet. Otherwise, I will change a film tomorrow and give it to this
Take a photo of the broken motorcycle and then develop it together and send it to him next time. The evidence will be more conclusive."
"You can figure it out yourself. It's already so late, so you should go to bed early. We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong climbed into bed with great expectations, thinking that he would probably get it tomorrow.
Director Chen is not that unkind. After all, the situation is like this, so he will just go along with the situation as a favor and most likely give it away directly. Anyway, it will not cost more than ten or twenty yuan.
This is also a piece of cake for him.
"Then you won't go to sea at night?"
"Nonsense, I'm not made of iron, you can't treat me like a slave."
"You are the ancestor. Who dares to treat you as a slave? Go to sleep."
Ye Yaodong held his wife in his arms, closed his eyes and began to dream of riding a motorcycle through the city.
Chapter completed!
