Ye Yaodong thought that only a few familiar acquaintances knew about buying a boat, and he didn't shout everywhere, but if he didn't say it, it didn't mean that others didn't say it, and his mother happily walked around the village that afternoon and told his relatives and friends.

By the time he returned to his new home from his old house, the corners of his house were already piled with rolls of firecrackers.

The bright red, he saw it as soon as he returned.

"So fast?"

"It's been spread all over the village in the afternoon, and I'm thinking about ordering a plate of sugar cakes tomorrow to share with family and friends, after all, they've all sent firecrackers." When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, he went to bring out the food in the pot and said with a smile.

There are happy events in the family, and it is their custom here to send sugar cakes, and on the day of moving, they also steamed two plates of sugar cakes to share with relatives and friends.

The same goes for buying a new boat, and there is also the custom of distributing sugar cakes, which means that the festival is high.

Ye Yaodong originally thought that it was just a second-hand iron boat, low-key, no need to say it everywhere, but he didn't expect it to spread so widely.

"It must have been said by my mother, that's why it spread so quickly, let's order it tomorrow, order a plate of sugar cake and cut it among relatives and friends!"

"Well, a few of your friends also sent a few firecrackers, and seeing that you weren't at home, they said they would come back after dinner."

"Oh."

"I thought that after all, it was the boat we just bought, and the first day we went out must see a day, I just went to see it, tomorrow is not suitable, there will be a day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is a good time at nine o'clock in the morning, and then go out after setting off firecrackers."

Ye Yaodong frowned, "Second-hand ships don't have to be so particular, right?"

He also thought that he would go out at night and try to put a net for a day, and then paint it again when he came back tomorrow and let it dry for two days.

"Although it is second-hand, it is also our family's new ship, and it has changed owners, so there must be something that should be there."

"Okay, then let's paint it tomorrow, and I'll talk to my dad after dinner later."

It's called a sense of ritual, right?

They like to watch a good day and do things when they encounter anything in the countryside, and if it is not necessary, they do not go far on the fifteenth day of the new year.

He was only halfway through the meal, and his friends came one after another.

"Good fellow, you've quietly changed to a new ship, awesome!"

"It's so unjust, we didn't even say it in advance, we still know it from the people in the village."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly pulled the rest of the rice in, "I didn't know that the ship could be bought so quickly, but when I saw a suitable one, I sold it directly, I just bought it in the morning, you will know it in the afternoon, and it is not too late."

"That's different, I didn't hear you talk about it when I was at sea two days ago. Made, I can't catch up with the horse, and I will change ships so soon, and Ah Zheng and I don't know when we will be able to change to the big boat."

"Yes, there's definitely a chance."

Ah Guang didn't go to sea today, so he asked on the side, "Have you seen the day, when will you set off firecrackers?"

"I originally thought that the second-hand boat didn't matter, and I would go out at night, but my wife said that she had already seen the day, and said that she would set off firecrackers at 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow and then go to sea."

"That's what you want, the second-hand boat is more than ten meters away, of course we have to set off a firecracker to celebrate, our small wooden boat also has firecrackers."

….

Ye Yaodong agreed, chatted a few more words, and said that he would come over at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow to help set off firecrackers and go back.

He went back to the old house, came back and bought a bucket of dark blue paint, and the next day he got up early, asked for help to carry the boat ashore, and then began to work and paint.

After thinking about it in my heart, after painting the paint, setting off the firecrackers, and launching the water again with a new look, with a sense of ceremony, it will indeed be psychologically happier than driving out directly, after all, it is the boat I have been looking forward to for a long time.

And the sun also began to come out today, it was clear, and it was hazy for several days, but it was still sunny and it was refreshing.

Ye Yaodong put on a paint in the morning, and came out again after eating at noon, so he called it a happy day and went back, and then immediately after, he drove a small wooden boat out to collect the ground cage net.

The ground cage was put in the sea for two days and was not available to collect, yesterday because of the wind did not go to collect, otherwise yesterday should have been taken back, and today it was busy until the afternoon.

The small wooden boat his father had already sold it to his second uncle's cousin this morning, and his own family, he had said hello in advance and borrowed it first, and it was not a big problem to go to sea to collect a ground cage.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the dock, he heard a major news that one of their local ocean-going fishing boats had been murdered at sea.

Ye Yaodong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly approached the crowd, "What did you say, what did you say?" When did this happen?"

"I heard that the fishing boat was in the open sea, and a crew member on the ship and the first and second officers had frequent quarrels and conflicts, and then the crew took advantage of the night to poison the first and second officers, and I heard that the crew was still a fugitive, and they were brought on board by the old rails......

The person who had just come over to hear about it also had a numb scalp and quickly asked, "And then, then what?"

"Then I heard that the conflict on the boat behind was even more stimulated, and the fugitive killed several shipwrights who were in trouble while they were asleep and threw them into the sea, and the matter broke out completely, and in the end only 5 of the 28 people survived, and the captain and the first and second officers died......

"I heard that there was a section of high-voltage power line in the back, and it was a power output that shone on the heads of the surviving people, and two people were electrocuted......

"It's miserable...... Later, I heard that there were also slashers with knives, and there were bloodstains, slash marks, broken limbs, and a crew member tied to the mast......

"It's really fake, it's scary......

"I went to town this morning and heard that it was so miserable, there were fugitives on board, and I didn't know where to hire the boatmen, it was terrible......

"Really? That... The family must not cry to death, go to the boat to earn money, and end up with their lives......

A person who was watching the excitement on the side frowned and said to everyone: "My relative is from the Maritime Safety Bureau, this is true, I heard that the fugitive was brought on board by Lao Liang, and the two conspired to seal the cabin, deliberately destroy the cooling system, put toxic gas into the cabin, and then tricked the first and second officers into entering, locked them from the outside, poisoned the two people, and the conflict was even more intense."

"In the end, the four survivors worked together to kill the fugitive and throw him into the sea, and then tied the old rail to the mast, which ended the bloodshed."

The chief engineer is known locally as the old rail.

Ye Yaodong listened to the cold without a fight, and occasionally broke the news in his previous life, when a certain ocean-going ship had a bloody accident at sea, it was often not because of pirates, but because of infighting on board.

….

You must know that the ocean-going fishing vessel goes to sea according to the operation mode for half a year, and the long two or three years, and the boring life is easy to affect a person's emotions for a long time.

It's all too common to kill people at sea and throw them into the sea, just to say that they accidentally fall into the sea and nothing happens.

Therefore, the risk of going to sea is extremely high, and man-made disasters account for a large part.

He didn't dare to go to the ocean in his previous life, and the problem was not big without a certificate, mainly because he was afraid that it would be easy to have an accident after a long time, so he only invited people to go fishing in domestic waters, and he could return in a few months at most, which was much better than running the ocean.

He pricked up his ears and continued to listen......

"I heard that the rest of the boatmen can't drive the boat, so they can only let the boat drift at sea, and they were found by the lighthouse staff when they hit the reef yesterday, reported to the Ocean Patrol, and then contacted our police, and they were brought back for interrogation in the early morning, and this morning it was all over the town, it was too scary, it was really evil......

"Why didn't I screen the shipwrights in the selection of boats, and I didn't find a few reliable and familiar ......?"

"It's simple, where is the boatman so easy to find? Ocean-going ones are even harder to find, how many people are willing to go to the ocean? It's better to get a boat at home and do whatever you do than to go to the ocean."

Pelagic fishing is often met with typhoons, machine breakdowns, piracy, and infighting, and many traditional fishermen are reluctant to participate despite the considerable income.

"I heard that those shipwrights are all inland people introduced by intermediaries, except for the captain, first mate, second officer and other management, the others have not been trained as seafarers, and many of them have no experience of going to sea

Introduce one by one, they are not familiar with each other, and there is a conflict, who is polite to you?"

There are more and more people around the wharf, and the news is getting more and more widespread, and many people don't go to sea anymore, so they listen to the news there, that is, because it is the fishing boats in their town, that it can spread so quickly.

"It's too miserable, this ocean is too dangerous......

"But isn't it, let's just be an ordinary fisherman, just fish and live a safe and stable life, and the ocean-going ship can't go ......."

"It's not so absolute, the main thing is that the boat is mixed, and you still have to find a familiar and reliable boatman."

Ye Yaodong agreed, it was too normal for a few people to die at sea, so he asked his father for his opinion when he looked for a boatman, otherwise he would die if he couldn't find it.

"I guess it's time to be in the newspaper tomorrow......

Ye Yaodong stood there and listened for a while, everyone repeated the repetition, and he waited until he was almost finished listening before leaving to drive the boat.

Ocean was out of reach for him.

But he was also alerted to him, to be cautious in finding someone, or his father was the most reassuring.

The ground cage net was confiscated for two days, and the goods in it were considerable, blue crabs, pike crabs, stone crabs, skin shrimps, sword shrimps, white shrimps, red seals, white seals, small yellow croaker, yellow croaker, water valley fish, etc., there are many kinds, large and small.

He deliberately picked out a bowl of white shrimp, which has been very fat recently, with red paste on the shrimp heads and red or purple shrimp roe on the stomach. The sea bass also left a 2 catties, you can stew clear soup at night, the sea fish is nutritious, you will be smart when you eat it, and it is just right for his wife to eat.

The two boys in the family are not good at reading, and I hope that the one in his wife's belly can be a little more productive and eat more fish.

When he returned from the sea, the killing of the ocean-going ship was still being discussed on the shore, and it was estimated that it would not be able to calm down for several days.

When he returned home, Lin Xiuqing was also there and said, "It's good that we are looking for a father, otherwise I would not be at ease."

"We're just small boats working offshore, and we're fine."
