Chapter 32: I want to borrow a boat
The sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon was still very hot, Ye Yaodong tried his best to pick a place in the shade, fortunately, Ah Guang's house was in the back mountain, and his house was surrounded by trees, which was quite cool.
When he passed, a few of them were playing cards under the tree at the door as usual, and only Ah Guang was lying on the chair alone to enjoy the shade.
"Why are you lying alone and not playing together?"
"I'm so unlucky today, what are you playing? Don't play, save some money, what's wrong with you these two days? Why don't you play anymore? ”
"I don't have any money, I reach out and ask my wife for money all day long, and it's also very shameless."
"That's true, but don't you have a boat at home now? You can go to sea with your father, and you can also share some money, so you don't have to reach out to your wife to ask for it. ”
He also thought about it, but when he thought of being overwhelmed in the middle of the sea, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, his heart beat faster, and he thought about taking it slowly.
He casually made it up: "Haven't I ever been to sea, and I'm afraid of seasickness, if I go out, if I get seasick, I want my father to send it back, isn't that begging?" If only there was a small boat that could go around the surrounding islands, it would be nice to give it a try. ”
"It's not easy, my sister-in-law accidentally broke his hand a few days ago, and he can't drive out recently. I'll ask him tomorrow to borrow a boat, let's buy our own diesel, and I'll take you out to sea and take a walk around the nearby seas. ”
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "This can be had, by the way, go to the isolated island and go to the sea!" ”
"Heh~ You seem to be a little enthusiastic about Taohai recently!" Ah Guang looked at him with a chuckle.
"Of course, I've been so lucky for the past two days. Yesterday I went to catch two blue crabs, and today I actually found a tiger grouper and a nest of snow clams, and I tasted the sweetness, I have to strike while the iron is hot. ”
"That's right, if I have the good luck of yours, I will go every day, this is not better than going to Yujing Wharf to do odd jobs, going to the wharf to work is only more than 1 yuan a day, and there are no two yuan."
Yujing Wharf is a big wharf near the sea in their Shanhai Town, and the big boats are docked at Yujing Wharf, and many people in their village go to Yujing Wharf to do odd jobs to move goods.
Their town is located relatively close to the Wanwan Strait, in addition to fishing boats, there are many cargo ships, and therefore, there are many Taiwanese goods stores in their town.
In this era, their town is more famous than the county seat, and it is also more lively than the county seat, and many outsiders only know their town, but do not know their county.
A few of their friends go out to play every day, and they all go to the town to play, but they don't go to the county seat much.
He put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the trunk of the tree with one foot, leaning there, "This Taohai is just a chance of luck, and you can't go every day, you can ask if you can borrow a boat first?" ”
"Let's go ask tomorrow morning, say hello and go directly to buy diesel fuel to start the boat, it's so hot now, I'm too lazy to leave, and I have to drink at night."
"Okay, then you can borrow a boat and tell me, it's just the beginning of tomorrow when the tide is high, and if there is no wind or waves tomorrow morning, it's time to go around the isolated island."
"Okay, follow you, I'll see if I can transfer it?"
Ye Yaodong smiled, "Maybe it's more effective for you to change your name, when will your father come back?" ”
"I don't know, it's only been a month, and I'm not sure how many months he'll be back."
Although the Regulations on the Breeding and Protection of Aquatic Resources promulgated in February 1979 included a ban on fishing, the promulgation was a moratorium on various types of fish and different custom-made fishing gear, and there was no restriction on vessels in their waters at all.
There were no fishery inspections on a daily basis, so they all went out to sea as usual.
It was not until 1995 that the marine off-season fishing moratorium was fully implemented, and they were able to suspend fishing in accordance with the regulations.
Their regulations are closed from May 1 to July 31 every year, and the sea is closed on August 1!
But there are policies and countermeasures, and the small boats on their side have secretly gone out to sea to fish, even if they are caught by the fishery administration, they just dump the seafood back into the sea, and they can also bear this loss, after all, the fishery administration does not go to the sea to inspect every day.
In this day and age, their waters can still be fished at will, and the big ships will not come back for a few months after they go to sea.
"Then you'll wait for your dad to come back."
"Hey, two more days, in a few days I will go to the fishing well wharf to find some work, if I don't work, I will have no money, or your life is good, I have a diligent wife, I can't marry a wife."
"If you have money, you're afraid you won't be able to marry a wife? Gamble less, just work hard to make money, and you can't rely on your wife to support you for a lifetime. ”
Ah Guang put his hands behind his head and looked at him with a chuckle, "Why do you feel that you have been diligent in the past two days?" ”
"Seeing that my wife can't earn a dollar a day, my conscience has found out, and my family is about to split up after building a house, and I have to start supporting my family.
"That's right, the family is separated, if you don't work hard, life is not so good, do you want to go to the dock to find work together?"
I don't know where he pulled a straw from, put it in his mouth and bit it, "I scared the family, they want to run to ask the Taoist priest to take me." ”
It's the truth!
"That's right, we all have odd jobs more or less, and you have always been the 'three young men of the Ye family'!"
"Don't laugh at me, if you have a cigarette, give me one, I haven't smoked for two days, my mouth is itchy!"
"Got to this point? Didn't it sell for more than ten dollars in the past two days? ”
"I've handed it over to my wife, I'm a good man!"
Ah Guang rolled his eyes, who doesn't know who!
Ye Yaodong took a puff of cigarettes and felt comfortable, in fact, he wanted to quit smoking in the past two days, but he found it a little difficult, he had been addicted to smoking for decades, he felt that it was better not to embarrass himself, anyway, a good man has nothing to do with smoking or not.
"Hey, tomorrow Ah Guang said to borrow a boat to take us out to sea, do you want to go?"
The four people who were playing cards turned their heads to look at them.
"What's getting better, I haven't seen enough of the sea since I was a child?"
"Didn't get enough sun today? Do you want to sail out to dry? ”
"Okay, why do you have to borrow a boat to go out?"
The fat man didn't go as usual, "Don't call me if you are too full in the sun, I can drink and play cards!" ”
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "You have to be fat, lazier than me, there will be a tide on the first day of tomorrow, go to the isolated island to see if you can find some good things." Those uninhabited islands are untouched all year round, not to mention the seafood, and the shellfish on the reef must be large and numerous. ”
Ah Wei said curiously: "You haven't been there, do you know again?" ”
"Just say if you want to go or not!"
This is his experience, can there be a fake? Seafood is not sure, snails and shellfish will definitely not be less.
"It's still a question of whether I can borrow a boat, I'll see tomorrow. If you have borrowed it, let's go together, and everyone has a companion, otherwise I won't be free in a few days. Ah Guang said seriously.
"Alright, let's go together."
The four people who played cards except for the fat man, Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng should all get off, Ah Wei said that he didn't want to go, there were not many receipts yesterday, he didn't want to join in the fun.
