Chapter 529: Go to Town
Although Ye Yaodong envied Ah Guang that they could rest all winter, and he also wanted to put it in his heart, he was also afraid that he would rest and rest his lazy cancer.
This is not yet his ideal retirement age of 40, and he still has to work hard after the goal is set.
Moreover, there was not much time to go to sea in winter, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, he could barely continue to work, and only by earning more money could he buy a few more boats, become a boat owner, and retire early.
It's just that this boat is really hard to find, it's hard to buy.
Let his father inquire for a month and there is no place to buy it, and the one more than 30 meters rented by the salvage team before also heard that it was bought by several people in partnership.
However, even if he is still there, he can't buy it, it's too expensive, the cost is huge, and he has to empty all his family funds if something happens.
He didn't have that much ambition, he still wanted to be safe, and he took a step forward little by little, and he couldn't eat a big fat man in one bite.
If there is no suitable ship at the end of the year, he may ask two masters to build a ship, or go to the shipyard to order one, which can also be ordered a little larger in size, and the cabin is also a little bigger, which is convenient for sleeping, so that he can also run in the deep sea for a few days, and do not have to stay in the offshore fishing.
In the past few years, the financial capacity of individuals is not strong, the shipbuilding technology is also limited, and there are few ships running in the deep sea, and some of them are official salvage teams, and the resources of the deep sea are not comparable to those in the near sea.
He doesn't have that much ambition to run the ocean, at least not now, the ocean-going ship is hundreds or thousands of tons larger, he doesn't dare to think about it, and the technology is not mature now, but he still has ideas for the deep sea.
He goes back and forth once a few days, and does not delay his wife and children to heat the kang and take care of the family.
It's good to think in my heart, but I still have to take care of the current situation first.
On the second day, taking advantage of the wind, he took the old lady to the town to get a reading glasses, and by the way, he bought some white thread to make sticky nets, and bought them back to ask someone to make them.
Just do it in the next few days, and after two days the wind and waves have passed, you can go to sea and release the net.
The old lady took her reading glasses, put them on and took them off, kept putting them on her lips and taking a breath, and then wiped them with a mirror cloth.
"Don't wipe it, it's clean enough, put it away first, the people in the province are so crowded that you fall to the ground and step on it, and the money will be spent in vain."
"Hey, okay, I'll wear it when I get it back." The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "When I looked in the mirror just now, I felt pretty good, didn't I?" ”
"Definitely. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, I look so handsome, it means that the genetics are good, I am your grandson, which shows that your foundation is not bad. ”
"Are you praising yourself, or are you praising me? It would make me happy, and I had gray hair, and my face was wrinkled more than the bark of a tree. ”
"Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, praising me is equal to praising you, praising you is equal to praising me, let's call it a win-win situation."
The old lady coaxed him with joy, and also felt that he was becoming more and more educated, "I knew that when you were young, I shouldn't have followed you, let you drop out of school, look at you, I only went to a literacy class for a few days, and I was so literate in my speech, if I had studied for a few more years, maybe I would have graduated from college and been an official for several years now." ”
"That said, why didn't you stop me a little bit? Alas~ Maybe I won't have to work hard to fish. ”
The old lady shook her head, "It's not that you are not angry, you were only ten years old at the time, just like the demon king of the mixed world, you don't listen to anyone, you don't go to class all day, just like your friends who go up to the mountains and the sea every day and can't find anyone, your mother is angry and goes directly to refund the tuition." ”
Ye Yaodong touched his nose, he had long forgotten what happened when he was a child, he only remembered the vicissitudes of middle and old age, after all, it didn't take long, and the old lady's memory was quite good.
"I don't remember, let's go, I just walked to the door of the photo studio, let's go in and take two pictures, both those with glasses and those without glasses."
Speaking of photography, the old lady did not object, looked at the old photo studio door in front of her was plastered with photos, nodded happily, and walked in with him.
"It's good to take a picture, just enough to hang on the wall as a posthumous portrait, and when I'm gone, you can also take a few looks when you occasionally give me incense."
"What do you say? Taking pictures is to leave your own beautiful moments, and when you look at them after a few years, they are full of memories. ”
"Good good ......"
The old lady also knew that what she said subconsciously was a little unlucky, so she hurriedly said something nice, "I'm shooting now, when I'm 100 years old, I'll take it out and see what the difference is, and when I'm 100 years old, take me to take pictures again and keep it as a souvenir." ”
Ye Yaodong said with satisfaction: "Well, yes, I have to take a few photos for the 100-year-old, and when we celebrate the New Year this year, our family will take a family photo and be neat." ”
"Okay."
The old lady was on crutches, smiling brightly, her face was red, and her spirit was good, even the owner of the photo studio thought she was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "When the old lady is 100 years old, you will bring her over to take pictures, I will not charge money, and give you a few photos for free." ”
"Really?" The old lady was very happy, she didn't expect to live to be 100 years old and still be able to take pictures for free.
"Then I'll have to work hard, work hard, and come back to you to take pictures when the time comes."
"Okay, okay."
Ye Yaodong was also very happy that this boss would be a man, and couldn't help asking, "Can I ask you to take pictures?" ”
"Okay, it's a joy to live to be 100 years old."
"No, I mean I can ask you to come to the door to take a family photo at the end of the year?"
"Yes, you just have to add some money."
"That's easy to say, it should be."
If you add some money, you don't have to drag a family out to take pictures, which can save a lot of things.
After taking the photos and making an appointment to pick up the photos, Ye Yaodong asked the old lady to wait at the door, and he was going to the fishing tackle shop to get the white nylon thread for fishing nets.
If you buy it in advance, send it to the store first, so as not to be inconvenient to carry it around all the time.
The two sacks were full, and he carried them directly with a flat pole, although the nylon thread was relatively light, but it could not hold a large number, and the solid sack was also very heavy.
The old lady watched him coming, and hurriedly gave him the hot oil cake she had just bought, "It's almost noon, and I don't know when to wait for the car, you can eat a cushion for your stomach, I specially asked the boss to add oyster filling, which is hot and delicious." ”
"Then you can't give him two cents?"
What a reluctance!
"Yes, your mother hasn't had time to hunt oysters for most of the past six months, and your daughter-in-law hasn't been available, you haven't eaten it for a long time."
Ye Yaodong smiled and took a bite of her hand, "When I was fishing for sea stingers in Zhejiang Province two months ago, my second sister-in-law dug every day, and we ate it every day." ”
"Hey, that's good."
He thought the old lady probably wanted to eat it too.
"It just so happens that I will be making nets in the next few days, and I don't plan to go to sea with few goods, where will I go to the island to get some shells and come back to dig meat and dry it?"
"It's important to make money, these are not busy, and when you are free, you will be busy, and there is no shortage of this bite at home."
"Hmm."
In his mouth, he also thought that there didn't seem to be much of these dry goods at home, although he didn't eat it every day, but he couldn't stand the consumption, and occasionally fried a bowl or boiled noodles sprinkled a little, and it was almost bottomed out.
Taking advantage of the fact that autumn and winter are suitable for drying goods, you can just come back a little more and eat it slowly, and the daily taste of seaside people is inseparable from fish and seafood.
The grandparents and grandchildren were waiting for the car on the side of the road, chatting with each other, Ye Yaodong kept asking her if there was anything else she wanted to buy? I just bought it together, and it's rare to come to town or something.
The old lady kept shaking her head and waving her hand and said no.
He is not reluctant, there is no no, anyway, now he has food and clothing, and the old people have no need for anything else.
I just forgot to bring food for the child, and today is the weekend, and I am at home, and I can't go back to make a fuss for him, and I almost beat him with a whip.
One by one, he got used to it, as long as he went out, he wondered if he had brought something back to them, and he had to be beaten.
But he didn't seem to have much prestige in front of this group of children, and when he came out with a whip, he had already scattered and ran away.
"Stinky boy, it's good to run fast, otherwise my ass will open flowers for me, and it will become less and less big or small. Why do you have a weekend holiday, give them 28 days a month, and rest for two days, it's just that the days are too comfortable now. ”
"I think that when I was a child, I had to go up the mountain to work during the day to make pigweed, create production, and go to class at night, how can they be so comfortable now."
Lin Xiu glanced at him innocently, "Are you sure you have good labor to create production?" Did you go to class in the evening? ”
The little finger of her right hand hooked a thread, and the two long iron hairpins in her hand kept moving back and forth, and the wool that was rolled yesterday afternoon had been knitted for her almost seven or eight centimeters long this morning.
She doesn't have to look down, she is very skillful, only occasionally glances down, or stops to look at it when she has to change the weaving head after a row of weaving.
The busyness of her hands did not affect her chatting and talking at all.
"Cut~ Anyway, they don't have to help earn work now, as long as they play, they're cool."
"Half a catty and eight taels, don't talk about them, who are you going to ask to weave this fishing net? Why don't you go next door and ask your sister-in-law if you want to weave? Anyway, they are idle and idle, and they are there to weave nets all day long, and if they don't do it, they will call someone else? ”
As she spoke, she finished knitting another row, scratching her hair with an iron hairpin, and then switching sides and continuing.
"Okay."
Ye Yaodong also reached out and touched a small section of sweater she knitted, feeling quite soft, "When will you knit one for me?" ”
"Don't you already have two? What to weave? Don't waste it, it's such a big person, and it won't grow and it's not bad. ”
"Last year, I saw a piece that looked like it had been bitten by a rat."
"It's already patched up and you can continue to wear it. You go and ask the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, the sooner you finish it, the sooner you can go to sea to release the net. ”
Ye Yaodong reluctantly withdrew his hand, he wanted to earn the money, and his clothes had to be worn out.
