It was not convenient to wash on the boat, and there was not much water, everyone just brushed their teeth, and their faces were not washed, and the remaining half of the bucket of water was used to cook noodles.

The fishing boats also sailed away from the shore where they docked casually and drove slowly towards the town, fishing along the way, one counts as one.

During this time, everyone has earned a lot of money, all in their hands, take it out every day and count it, it is very happy to look at it, but when they go out, they feel unsafe with so much money in their hands, and everyone is willing to spend half a day and save it if they can.

There are not so many jellyfish floating on the surface of the sea all the way, only a few drifting occasionally, they are in line with the principle of not letting go of what they have seen, and they can all get in their pockets, and they can also subsidize the oil and wages.

I also encountered a lot of small boats in operation around me, some of them were old men working sweating on the sea, some were old couples working together, and some were all on the boat.

Ye Yaodong estimated that these families were all on the boat, and they should be Tan people, also known as Lianjia boat people, who are water residents who use boats as their homes in the southeast coastal area.

I didn't expect that in addition to them in southern Fujian, you can also see it here. He just glanced at it and skipped it.

The overcast sky did not have a trace of sunshine, but it did not appear cool, but it was a little hot, and even the sea breeze brought up by the boat could not be relieved, and there was no wind at all after going ashore.

After Ye Yaodong docked the boat at a wharf near the town, he handed over the jellyfish work on the boat to others, and he went to the post and telecommunications office with his two brothers and Pei's father.

At present, the postal service and telecommunications have not been separated, so everyone verbally calls the post and telecommunications office.

Chen Jiannian also went to the shore, he had to make a call, this morning he had to ask the car to come to the town dock to collect it, this had to call in advance, otherwise the car would have to run empty to the village.

Ye Yaodong fanned the wind with his hand while walking, and after feeling that it was not enjoyable, he pulled out the hem of his clothes and fanned it up.

"It's so hot, it's almost autumn."

"It's called Autumn Tiger."

"I don't know if it's here or at home next month, August 15."

"I should have almost gone back by then."

"When the time comes, you can come back to town and buy something for the children to take home."

"I have to buy something to bring back, this time it's all out of the boss's door, and it's all out of the province......"

"It's the first time I've walked so far in my life, and I thought the city would be the farthest I've ever been, but I didn't expect to be out of the province now."

"Yes, in the past 30 years, the farthest I have been to is the county seat, I didn't expect that one day we would also go out of the province, this time we will go back to the town to go around, buy something to take back."

The two brothers had learned their lesson, and before they went back, they were already thinking that they would bring something back to their families when the time came.

Ye Yaodong also echoed there, "You can also take a few mooncakes back, I heard that the mooncakes here are meat, and I don't know what the taste is, but there is also meat in the mooncakes." ”

"yes, it tastes weird......"

As they walked, they all talked about what specialties there were in the town, and they would buy some to give back to their wives and children.

I asked three or four people along the way, and after walking for more than ten minutes, I found the post and telecommunications office.

This town doesn't look big, it should be said that the current town doesn't look big, after all, it hasn't developed yet.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the post and telecommunications office, several people were a little cramped, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to walk in.

Ye Yaopeng smiled awkwardly: "Dongzi, you are advanced, we will follow you." ”

Ye Yaohua also nodded, and said truthfully: "Yes, we are illiterate, you are literate, you can also speak Mandarin, and we will do what you say later." ”

Pei's father also smiled and said, "I can't read or speak, so I'll follow you." ”

Ye Yaodong shook his head with a smile, he didn't expect him to become the most literate of everyone!

He walked in first, and said: "Big brother, second brother, I suggest that you also go to a literacy class, literacy is still very useful, at least you can read the list, and it will not be easy to be deceived in the future." ”

"I want it, I can't read, I feel that it's very difficult to go out, and we don't know the words at the door of the post and telecommunications office."

"yes, it doesn't matter if you write? But you have to know. ”

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he walked to the counter, at first, the counter sister still liked to ignore it, speaking a local Hokkien dialect, and the tone was weird, but a few people could barely understand it, and they were all very happy, and they were finally able to barely understand the language.

And then there was a lot of muttering like someone else's chatter......

The cabinet sister shouted impatiently, "What are you going to do?" Do you want to buy stamps, send letters, withdraw money, or send money? ”

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment when he heard that he was buying stamps, he remembered that he had heard someone say in his previous life that there were several editions of stamps that seemed to be quite expensive, but... What version is it???

He is a fisherman who doesn't pay attention to this at all, and he usually brushes videos and brushes all kinds of fish, and social information is also concerned about current affairs and politics, people's livelihood and marine fish.

What kind of stamps, antiques, stocks and other bird things, where can he understand?

Seeing that no one replied to her, the cabinet sister said impatiently, "What are you doing here?" ”

Ye Yaodong came back to his senses at this time, put the thoughts that had just been associated with stamps behind him, and hurriedly said: "If we want to save money, can we get it across provinces when the time comes?" ”

The counter sister looked them up and down with a skeptical attitude, and this group of people didn't look like they were rich, but she still explained the process of saving money, and told him that it would be easier for him to choose to send money.

Ye Yaodong also thought about it, now there is no computer, and there is no national network, so it is easier to send money directly and let his daughter-in-law pick it up and return it.

Don't blame him for not knowing the process, after all, he has never had money in his previous life, no money to take, no money to save, just heard about it, when A-Qing was still alive, she did everything single-handedly.

He doesn't even remember when the passbook came out, but he only knows that it was there when he was in the past nine years.

"Okay, then send the money."

"Do you want a wire transfer or a mail transfer?"

"Wire transfer, wire transfer faster."

"Wire transfer charges are a little bit higher."

"It's okay, just wire transfer."

A letter remittance is to write a bill of exchange, stuff it in an envelope and send it to the other party.

A wire transfer is a telegram that asks the post office to send a telegram to the recipient of the other party.

At this time, the intra-bank system and the inter-bank system were extremely imperfect, and bank remittances, sub-credit transfers, and telegraphic transfers were completed with the help of post and telecommunications bureaus.

There is only a post and telecommunications office in their town.

Ye Yaodong filled out the remittance form, handed her the money, and watched her take the money in surprise and send a telegram.

When he was done, all three of them hesitated.

"That's good? This... Your daughter-in-law can go to the village to get a certificate, bring a telegram, and get the money? ”

Seeing that Ye Yaodong ran out of money all of a sudden, they were a little panicked.

"yes, there's just a phone to call here, I'll give her a call and ask her to keep an eye on it."

"It's... Ann is not safe? Can you get it? ”

The cabinet sister rolled her eyes and said angrily: "This is the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, which is state-owned, how can it be unsafe?" ”

They can barely understand Sister Cabinet's local Hokkien dialect, and of course Sister Cabinet can roughly understand their real Hokkien dialect.

"Yes, yes, yes......" they hurriedly echoed, "Safety, safety, ......"

"Is this much for the fee?" Father Pei couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "Why don't we save again?" ”

Each remittance is drawn at 1%, with a minimum of two yuan and a maximum of 50 yuan.

Dongzi drew more than 20 yuan for more than 2,000 yuan!

The counter sister urged impatiently, "Do you still want to handle the remittance?" ”

Ye Yaodong glanced at her, his attitude was really bad!

"Hurry up and send it, it's not safe to keep it on hand, just send it back with peace of mind, and we'll call together later."

The three of them hesitated for a while, and then gritted their teeth and ruthlessly took out all the bags of money, like Ye Yaodong, there is great unity, there are gross tickets, and there are also a few coins, and great unity accounts for the majority.

Sister Cabinet is really surprised now!

I didn't expect that the four people who looked poor and sour looked like they all had so much money on them, they really couldn't be good-looking!

The attitude is much better when arranging a wire transfer next......

By the time they walked out of the post office and felt the joy of their families, it was already one hour later.

"Why is this remittance fee so expensive? No wonder it's deserted inside, and there's no one, who wants to come? This one came in and dozens of pieces were gone. ”

"That's it, hurry up and let the wife at home withdraw the money, and don't put it in the bank at home, it's too black-hearted......"

Ye Yaodong smiled, didn't say anything, shook his jingling pockets, "Let's go, buy some food and put it on the boat, buy some noodles, dry food cakes or something, for so many days, everything on the boat is almost digested." ”

"Then hurry up, buy something, and pad your stomach at noon......"

……

Father Ye and the others have finished their work on the ship, and even Chen Jiannian has returned to the ship after calling early, but they have not come back yet.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and Father Ye was in a hurry.

It wasn't until almost two hours before they appeared in everyone's field of vision, and everyone was relieved to see their brisk steps.

When they came to the front and back, Father Ye asked complainingly, "Why have you been there for so long?" I didn't know if I would come back early, and I was still wandering around. ”

"I didn't wander around, I just went to buy some dry food and noodles after remitting the money, and to add that there was almost no food on the ship."

"Hurry up and get on the boat, it's noon, hurry up to find the village where we stay, it's already taken half a morning, we can't delay any longer in the afternoon."

"It's time for dinner, let's get off the boat and go to the restaurant for dinner, right?"

"No, what kind of hotel do you go to? It's too expensive outside, let's just cook something to eat on the boat while driving the boat, save a little, and come up quickly. Father Ye hurriedly urged him in disapproval.

Everyone else is also willing to eat dry food or cook their own noodles and eat them.

It's too good to save him money, Ye Yaodong sighed, then he can't eat.

Drifting along the coast, they passed through one village after another, some of which had no young people and no empty houses to rent, some of which did not welcome outsiders at all, and some of which were too small to park small wooden boats, not larger boats.

They just drifted all the way to the sea, all the way to ask.

Ye Yaodong only felt that they were lucky to settle in that village at the beginning, and they had just found several villages, but they were not suitable.

It took another hour for them to find another large village, a large village that would allow them to rent for a few days, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not easy to make money, but fortunately, I have a foothold for the next two or three days."

"If you change places in two or three days, it's very troublesome, not to mention moving things around, the key is that the village is not so easy to find."

】

"That won't stay too long, who let us be outsiders, and we have caught too much, which makes people red, and it is good to be calm for two or three days."

"Dongzi said the same, let's move things off the ship first, fortunately, we have a lot of people, we can move them in one trip, don't move the things that you don't need for the time being, put them on the boat."

After settling down, they went out to sea to continue fishing under the curious eyes of the villagers, and the tidying up was handed over to Ye's second sister-in-law.

In the days that followed, they fully demonstrated what it means to change places with one shot.

They run away from a village that doesn't stay for more than three days, unless it's raining, then they stay for a few more days.

It's a bit of a hassle, but at least it's safe.

Before the others reacted and gathered, they ran away first, otherwise who knows when the god of luck will stop caring about them.

In just over a month, Ye Yaodong felt that he had lost almost ten pounds.

"It's really hard to be a man for a few taels of broken silver."

They had just moved out of another village, and they had sent a boat out to find the village in advance at noon the day before, and now they had to rush to a new place to stay.

Everyone is also a little tired, although they are all their own people, they are all relatives, but they are only working to earn wages, how to arrange the main family? They just do it.

Father Ye also said soothingly: "Hold on for a few more days, I have seen fewer jellyfish recently, and it is estimated that it will be gone in a few days." ”

"Indeed, the number has obviously decreased a lot day by day in the past few days, and I don't know if it was eaten by that group of turtles, and that group of turtles must still be eating in the jellyfish group."

"It's a shame to eat them......"

"If you insist on it, you should be able to go back in a few days."

Ye Yaodong also said, "Otherwise, where are we going to find a small island in the surrounding area these days?" Sleep on the boat at night and leave your second sister-in-law on the island to cook during the day? Fetch a few buckets of water for her a day in advance, and leave someone to help her work and collect firewood by the way? It's too much trouble to save yourself from changing places all the time. ”

"There is water, it can be boiled and dried on the island, and everyone can sleep peacefully on the boat at night, without communicating with the locals or worrying about the eyes of the villagers."

"Besides, it's all going back soon, and it shouldn't be many days, so don't have an accident. We have asked a lot of villages during this time, and these villages inevitably have relatives who are related to each other, and everyone spreads them to each other, so we may be wiped out by which village? ”

The more he talked, the more he felt a sense of urgency, and he felt that it was not bad to live directly on the ship, and learn from those Tan people.
