Chapter 68 A Busy Island
The sun is shining overhead, the air is clearly visible from the quiet palm leaves, and the sea breeze is very small and barely felt......
"It's called calm before the storm." Standing on the beach, looking at the blue sky and the empty sea, Ye Hai muttered.
It was hard for him to imagine what this gentle sea would look like in three days.
Compared to the quiet scene on the sea, the island is more lively than ever. Because of the approaching typhoon, in order to prevent the dilapidated houses from being damaged by the typhoon, the boatmen did not go to sea, but stayed at home and strengthened the houses with their families.
These residents are often family-oriented, and all adults and children are able to get started, talking and laughing while working, and the relaxed atmosphere greatly relieves the tension of the typhoon.
Because Andrew's family also has a lot of things to do, Ye Hai discussed with Andrew, and planned to take the people in the villa to help Andrew strengthen his family's house first, and then deal with the garbage dump together.
There are many people, the efficiency of things will naturally be greatly accelerated, Andrew naturally understands this truth, and the villa is full of young people, tall and strong, and he will definitely not suffer a loss when he cooperates with them, so Andrew happily agreed to Ye Hai's proposal.
After the plan was set, Ye Hai called Jasmine and Ann again, and a group of people stopped talking nonsense and immediately started working.
Although it is close to the sea, Andrew's two-story building is extremely sturdy, so there is no need to worry about being damaged by typhoons, but the doors and windows of the house still need to be reinforced, and some shelters that are easy to be destroyed by typhoons also need to be temporarily removed.
Andrew found a pile of planks and nails, and prepared to nail them to the window frames to strengthen the doors and windows.
As soon as they started working, the differences between the few people were quickly revealed.
Needless to say, Andrew was old and skilled in his work, and he picked up the hammer and did it with a clang. Because Ye Hai grew up in the countryside, he is no stranger to this kind of labor, and because of the enhancement of the sea god's ability, his strength has also become a lot greater, and this level of labor is naturally not a problem. Although Kevin does not have the ability of Poseidon, according to himself, he grew up in rural Alaska, and when he was a child, he also played dog sledding, and he is more or less half a working person.
The tools were brought over, and the three of them got to know each other well. But the remaining three young people were dumbfounded, Jasmine is a rich lady, Ann is about the same, and Jeffrey is a scholarly man, it's okay to open his mouth, and he will all be exposed as soon as he makes a move.
Looking at the strange appearance of the three of them carrying the hammer, Ye Hai was really afraid that they would smash the hammer into his hands.
"You can be our deputy, Jasmine, you go and hand me that plank, and give me a few more nails by the way." Ye Hai, who was standing on the stool, turned his head to Jasmine and said. Because if you want to nail a wooden board to the window frame, you have to use a stool, which is very troublesome, and at this time, looking at the appearance of Jasmine and the three of them, Ye Hai thought to himself that he would simply let them do the logistics work.
Jasmine raised her head and glared at Ye Hai, but she still obediently did what he said.
After a simple division of labor, labor became more efficient. A group of young people and Uncle Andrew talked and laughed, although it was work, but it was also very easy.
During this period, Aunt Bamela came out to see it several times and brought water to everyone a few times. Hearing that everyone was working downstairs, the little beauty Helen also secretly stuck her head out of the window on the second floor with a rabbit doll, but was driven back by Andrew's bluff.
According to him, Helen's condition has not been stable recently, and she is wearing a hanging bottle, and Aunt Bamela has not come out much because she is taking care of Helen in the house.
Speaking of Helen's condition, Uncle Andrew's face quickly became gloomy.
Looking at Uncle Andrew's appearance, Ye Hai felt uncomfortable, as if he was holding back a stone.
"Actually, it's useless to worry about it now, let's hurry up and get to work!" Andrew laughed, he knew that Ye Hai still had a lot of work to do, and the time could not be delayed.
After a brief break, everyone began to get busy again. Because of the large number of people and the good cooperation of everyone, Andrew's house was strengthened in the morning. Everyone simply took a sip of water and rushed to the garbage dump with their tools.
Between the villas of Yehai and the villages of the aborigines of the island there is a large wasteland, which is actually a small hillside, and at the end of the hill is a mountain peak more than ten meters above sea level, behind which are cliffs and the endless Aegean Sea.
This wasteland is made of rough rocks, pale yellow in color, and there is no grass. According to the contract for the purchase of the island, this wasteland also belongs to Ye Hai's name.
When the Poseidon Company was established, in order to save money, Ye Hai put the place where the garbage was dried and processed on this wasteland.
"It's ugly that this island is so beautiful, but now there's an extra garbage heap." Looking at the garbage dump in front of her, Jasmine said critically.
"I did it to save money, but when the money is almost done, I'll move the dump to another place, and then clean up the wasteland and add vegetation so that Santoni will look even more beautiful." Looking at the garbage dump, Ye Hai's tone was full of hope for the future.
Yehai's garbage dump is poorly built, not even a simple fence, but a simple border with ropes in the core, and a few tents in the border, trucks and forklifts used to store garbage, and compressors to process garbage.
The garbage that has already been processed is simply piled up in a corner, and there is not even a tent.
"If a typhoon comes, these tents will definitely be blown away, and we also need to cover the processed garbage, once the moisture soaks in, the garbage will be expensive, and it will also delay the time we can supply products to Colin Industries, which will be a big problem." Looking at the humble garbage dump, Andrew said worriedly.
For the future, Ye Hai is still very optimistic.
"It's okay, as long as we deal with it carefully, Poseidon and Santoni will survive this crisis!"
Ye Hai's mood played a role in everyone, and after a simple plan, everyone once again threw themselves into hard labor with fatigue.
Compared to reinforcing Andrew's house, the dump is obviously more labor-intensive.
They need to cover the processed garbage with tarpaulin, and they also need to pile up the garbage that is being dried, and they also need to fix it simply, otherwise the garbage will be blown all over the island by the wind when the typhoon comes.
In addition, Ye Hai and others also need to dig several drainage ditches between the garbage dump and the beach to prevent the rain from being too heavy to soak the equipment even if it is discharged.
At noon, everyone simply ate and went straight to work without even resting. In the afternoon, Pierce, Cyril and others were also busy with their own family affairs, and rushed to the garbage dump with tools to help, with a new force, Ye Hai and others greatly accelerated their labor speed.
But even so, it was not until late afternoon that the work on the garbage dump was completely completed.
When the last drainage ditch was dug up, Ye Hai and the others threw away the shovel and lay on the soft sand like a dead dog.
His grandmother's, this day feels like a year has passed!
"I'm tired to death, Ye Hai, how do you say you are going to repay us later?" Jasmine, who was also lying on the beach, looking up at the sky, asked.
"When my pickles are ready, please eat them." Ye Hai said weakly.
"Cut ......"
"Stingy." Ye Hai's words were booed by his friends.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was a moment of extreme relaxation for the mind and body, when suddenly there was a strange buzzing sound on the sea.
From far to near, it gets louder and louder, and the humming sound is like the sound of an airplane approaching, and it is like thunder from afar, and it is more like a conch horn being blown when you listen closely!
Hearing this strange sound, everyone was startled and hurriedly sat up.
ps: There's something to do during the day, so I'll update a chapter in advance, and there's another chapter at eight o'clock in the afternoon
