Chapter 708: Packing up the fishing boat
Ye Yaodong had already taken off only a pair of shorts and sat at the table waiting, pinching his daughter's little face by the way.
"Do you miss Lao Tzu?"
"Ah rake rake ~ rake rake ~"
"Good!"
The old lady patted him on the shoulder, "Will it be cold?" I'll go close the door, your mother doesn't know how to close the door when she goes out, and now the wind blowing in the evening will be cool......"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and brought the water-mixed basin to him, then went to get him a towel and handed it to him.
"Hurry up and scrub it, it's all wet, don't catch a cold, I'll go to the house and get you clothes."
"Hmm."
Ye Yaodong first wrung a towel and washed his face, and then began to scrub his body.
There was still life waiting for him, and he made a quick decision, twisted two or three towels and washed his upper body.
The lower body is also very fast, rubbing in the front, rubbing in the back, rubbing the thighs, stretching both feet into the basin to soak it, and wiping the foot cloth to solve the problem.
Lin Xiuqing took the clothes out to wash, and he finished washing them.
"So fast?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at her and didn't speak.
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "After washing, then put on your clothes first, so as not to catch a cold." β
"Hmm."
Lin Xiuqing took the footwash water to the back door and poured it out for him virtuously, and only when he came back did he ask again: "You haven't said why did you come back alone first?" And I'm soaking wet. β
Ye Yaodong smiled at this time, "I'll tell you when I go back to the house in the evening, I don't have time to talk about it at this time, give me five yuan, I'm going to go out for a while." β
"It's so late, what are you going to buy? Five dollars for so much? Do you want to go after eating? Why are you in such a hurry? β
This man is spending more and more money now, and he can't put too much money in his hands if he cuts it first and then plays it.
He only costs 2 cents a pack of cigarettes now, why does he suddenly ask for five yuan?
"I don't have time to eat, I'm going to buy two buckets of paint and get down to business, I'm afraid the store will close when it's late, and I'll have to wait for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, is it to paint the ship for maintenance? No wonder you swam back, let your father sell the goods at the dock first, and I will get it for you. β
At this time, Lin Xiuqing simply went into the house to get the money.
Ye Yaodong didn't explain, he couldn't explain it in detail now, so he could only wait for the night to lie down and talk to her slowly by the pillow.
After taking the money, he got on his bicycle and went out in a hurry, Lin Xiuqing kept shouting at him to eat first, but he didn't listen.
The words on the ship are black, and it is not easy to cover up with other colors of paint, so he pondered that it would be better to buy a bucket of black to cover it up a little, and the entire hull would be painted with a layer of black.
Then he used other colors to make marks, and he still had red and white paint left over in his house, which could come in handy.
But the small shops in the village do not have such a complete range of colors, the most common are white, green, red, blue, these colors can not hide the black well, no matter how many layers of painting will have black marks.
He had to run back to the town temporarily, anyway, the town is still quite lively now, and there are shops open there at night, and it has only been dark for long, so he should not be able to sleep.
The fishing boat ran aground on the beach, and he was relieved that it was all dark and no one would go on the beach.
He pedaled his bicycle quickly, and the road to the town had no street lights, it was dark, and he came out in a hurry, without a flashlight, and could only move forward by the moonlight.
But he has been walking this road for decades, and he has long been familiar with it, and he can walk it with his eyes closed.
The paint shop in the town was closed, but the shop was also someone's home, and he knocked on the door directly.
When he came out, he had two extra buckets of 5 kilograms of paint in his hand, and he hung these two buckets of paint on the back seat of the bicycle one by one, just to balance, that is, he would always touch the rear wheel and make a rattling sound.
Ye Yaodong could only slow down the speed of going back.
It's not easy to come back from the whole big boat, tired for a day, he can't even take care of food when he comes back, and he is still running outside, his chest is already hungry against his back, and his stomach doesn't know how many times he has screamed.
But these are all small things, and the most important thing is to go smoothly.
I came out in the dark all the way, and rode home in the dark.
There are few houses in the village that are lit up now, and only his house is still lit up on the beach.
Father Ye sat at the gate of the courtyard with a hookah, and he was not in the mood to smoke it at this time, but just holding it could make people feel at ease.
He muttered in his mouth, "I haven't come back yet, the tide is about to recede, it's been a long time, where can I buy it?" β
Ye Mu stood behind him, confused, "What are you father and son fighting, it's strange for the two of you to come back at night." One of the wet ones came back first, and then ran away again, and I haven't seen them yet. Don't say anything, what are you doing? Is there anything you can't talk about? There's still a tucked ......"
The truth is up......
It's true that there are unsightly things that can't be talked about.
"Shhhhh I told you, I'll tell you when I go back in the evening, what are you talking about here? β
Fortunately, at this point in time, the neighbors have also gone back to the house to sleep, and they are tired of going to sea all day, and the women are also resting early, they are now equivalent to digging for a day, and taking a day off to deal with it, otherwise the labor force will not be able to keep up at all, and the treatment will not be timely, so it can only be stinky.
"What kind of dumb riddle? I'm too lazy to care about you, if you don't go back, I'll go back first. β
"Then you'll go back first when you've killed the fish, and I'll go back later."
Father Ye waved twice like a fly, wishing that she would leave quickly, buzzing around and talking all the time, he hated it to death, he was anxious to get things done quickly, how could he have time to listen to her rambling there.
Ye Mu didn't pay attention to him and went back directly.
It just so happened that as soon as she left on her front foot, Ye Yaodong came back on her back foot.
Father Ye saw it from afar, and immediately greeted him excitedly, "Why did you only come back now, where did you buy it?" I sat at the door after eating and waited for a long time, and I was not in the mood to smoke the hookah. β
"There was no black paint in the village, so I rode to town to buy it while it was still early, which took a little more time."
"Why do you want to buy a black one?"
He whispered, "Because the mark on it is black, and other colors are not easy to hide." β
Father Ye thought about it and felt that it made sense, and nodded, "It's good to buy it back, it just happens that the tide is receding, I'll mention it first, you go to eat first, and then come over after eating." β
"Okay."
Lin Xiuqing kept warming his portion of the meal into the pot, and when he saw that he hadn't come back until now, he couldn't help complaining.
"Been there for so long? I told you that you didn't listen when you went out after eating. β
"Uh-huh, what about the rice."
"Everything must be prepared for you, and the food must be brought to you."
"Okay, okay, you go and get busy with yours, go and accompany the children, I'll do it myself."
Ye Yaodong put his arm on her shoulder, pushed her in the direction of the room, and went to the pot to serve the food himself.
Listening to her have a headache, he was in a hurry, if he wasn't already hungry with his chest against his back, he was afraid that he would get busy later, and he didn't know what time it would be, otherwise he wouldn't want to eat, it would be too delayed.
Usually she casually said that at this time he just wanted to eat quickly so that he could do things.
Lin Xiuqing didn't enter the house, walked to the table and asked curiously, "What are you and your father busy with?" β
"I'll tell you when I get back to the house in the evening." He said vaguely, quickly pulling the food, eager to pour it directly into it.
"Eat slowly, I'm in such a hurry."
"Hmm."
"Then you can get busy, and then you can go back to the house when you're done."
"Hmm."
Seeing that she stopped talking, his ears were purified.
After a few quick bites, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly ran out.
"This ...... that just ran after eating, it will hurt my stomach"
Ye Yaodong didn't have time to care about what he said, and ran fast in the direction of the beach.
It's already low tide, and when you get closer, you can see a fishing boat stranded on the beach.
And Father Ye is walking around the boat, touching here and there.
"Coming? I forgot to tell you to bring a hoe and a shovel, and by the way, I shoveled all the barnacle shells under the boat and painted them all in one piece. β
"Huh? I didn't say it earlier, I ran out. β
"I thought you'd know."
"You forgot it yourself, how could I have thought of it?"
Both father and son were so excited that their hearts hung on that boat all the time, and no one thought about it for a while.
When they came, they remembered that they didn't bring any tools, and they either couldn't wait to come over with paint, or they hurried away empty-handed.
"Then you go back and get it, bring a few baskets to load by the way, and push the cart directly, and you can pull it back by the way."
"Okay."
It's nothing for young people to walk around.
Ye Yaodong went back again, pulled all the things and tools that could be used with a board car, and brought the remaining red and white paint at home by the way.
He had a hunch that he would have to fight all night!
The father and son took a shovel and a hoe, and one scraped the barnacle shells on the hull of the boat while chatting.
"Dongzi, if this hadn't been discovered, we would have really made a fortune."
"Luzhou Island is far away from us, and it's not so easy for people to inquire."
In these years, the news is closed, and what is said is basically passed on by word of mouth, and it is not so simple to inquire about the lost ship, not to mention that Luzhou Island is notorious, and there are not many people who come and go with their island.
In fact, this island is not small, there are many villages on it, and some villages are original residents, but they have been affected by the latecomers, and the folk customs will be a little stronger.
"I hope so."
"Let's clean the boat, repaint it, make sure that his ancestor will not recognize it when he comes, and by the way, we will also paint the cabin with white paint later, make it a little newer and brighter, who dares to say that our ship is theirs?"
"Well, when it's clean, apply a coat of paint first, paint the mark first, and then call a few people to help move it to it and stand it up tomorrow morning, otherwise there will be no way to apply it when the tide rises."
"Shovel first, it's densely packed under this boat, and I don't know how long it hasn't been cleaned up, it's hard, but fortunately I just eat......"
