Ye Yaodong cut the red paper, and stacked two yuan bills on each piece of red paper, and then folded the red paper squarely, folded more than a dozen and put it in his pocket.

It wasn't until the fishing boats had already sailed past the town's harbor, and it was only about half an hour before they reached the village wharf, that he went to the cabin again, woke up the snoring boatmen, and prepared them to land.

"You can pack your luggage, at most half an hour to get home, the goods in the fish warehouse can be moved out in advance, put on the deck, and it will be convenient to move to the ship to receive the goods in a while."

"Hey, good, good......"

Everyone immediately sat up, those who wore clothes put on their clothes, and those who wore pants put on their pants.

Ye Yaodong also sent one of them the red envelopes that he had just prepared in advance, and they couldn't close their mouths happily.

Originally, when I went to sea, I would have calculated the salary, but now every time I go out, I will receive a red envelope, which is a surprise, and two yuan is almost equivalent to their day's wages.

"This trip is also hard, I can buy a pound or two of meat and eat when I go back."

"Hehe, you are also kind, and what you are doing is what we should do."

"It's not hard to earn money, we're all at this age, and we can still earn money."

Everyone was full of joy and didn't eat at night, but they were instantly full of energy.

After they went out to the fish warehouse one by one to move the goods, Ye Yaodong immediately took out the prepared cloth bag and swept all the money in the iron box locked under the bed into the cloth bag.

This is the profit at sea and the turnover of the shops in the city for the past week.

The coins were grabbed into the bag and rattled, but the roar of the machine drowned out the sound and only he could hear it.

I didn't make a good profit this time, only the wave of fish brought from the killer whales caught more fish, all of which were horsehead fish, and they were sold for a little more money.

At other times, although the fishing nets scattered are quite harvested, there are relatively few good goods, many of which are cheap and few cents of mass goods, which can only rely on quantity, and most of them can only rely on quantity to sell for more money.

After deducting expenses, they probably earned more than 2,000, mainly because they stopped working for most of the day yesterday to salvage the sunken ship's goods at sea, and the goods of the past three days, in addition to the valuable ones sent to the city to sell, tens of thousands of catties were kept back, and hundreds of dollars were sold here.

The turnover of the store is more than half of the last day compared to the one sent home a few days ago, and the last time there were dried sea rabbits for sale, most of them were sold for money.

This time, the sales of a week are only 1,000 yuan, and the shopping desire after the year is a little sluggish, and the New Year's goods purchased before the year have not been eaten.

Anyway, it's not bad, now I have started to rely on the tens of thousands of catties of goods I left home to start drying, and the cost has been reduced by at least half, which is equivalent to more net income.

After he had packed all the money, he took off his sweater and hung his backpack on his body, and then put on his sweater again, hid it in his clothes, and then put on his padded jacket and went out.

The two of them carried the basket out in groups, and the deck, which was already piled up with a lot of groceries, now looked even fuller.

Ah Guang leaned against the side of the boat with a contemplative expression on his face, looking at the sporadic lights in the distance.

He walked over and asked softly, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm thinking about doing something, otherwise, I feel like sitting at home guarding my wife and children, a bit like waste, eating soft rice."

If he hadn't known that he was talking about himself, Ye Yaodong would have thought that he was insinuating.

After scolding "Sai Linmu" in his heart in a low voice, Ye Yaodong spoke up.

"Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings, the only child has such a good life, he has money without doing anything at home, and he still says that he is a waste."

"I really think so, you go to sea one by one, open shops and open stores, but I am at home every day, my father is still working hard, and it is almost time for him to retire."

"When you give birth to a son, your father will probably be able to rest assured that you will follow, and you don't have to think about anything else, the son will inherit his father's business, your father is just your son, and the family boat will definitely have to be handed over to you to drive, and he will definitely not be able to do it for a few years."

"I understand this, but I'm not thinking that you are running a workshop and opening a shop to sell dried fish and fish sauce or something, seven-seven-eighty-eight, and make it decent, I also think about whether I want to toss something too?"

"You can't compare, I work in a workshop and open a shop because someone helps, there are old mothers, old fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law, wives, and sisters-in-law at home, everyone who can help me is helping me, otherwise I will toss over alone."

"So, I feel that the child without a mother is quite pitiful, with the old lady here, at least half of the sky can be held up, not to mention that you must help with the work, just show it up, it's very top-notch."

"This is true."

Ye Yaodong agrees very much, although his wife talks a lot and loves to show off, but sometimes he can save him a lot of things by taking a hand and helping a little, and the skills of the old women's association are very special, so they can't be underestimated at all.

"Besides, Emi hasn't given birth yet, and she can't be left alone in the city, so she has to accompany her first, and by the way, I will help you do day jobs."

"I don't pay!"

Ah Guang glanced at him, "I lack your three melons and two dates?" ”

"Then go and help carry it, don't stand here and think about life." Ye Yaodong raised his chin at the workers who were busy moving goods, signaling him to do the same.

"Together."

Ah Guang grabbed his padded jacket and pulled him to work together.

They didn't stop until they had piled up the deck with only two aisles left, and the fishing boats were not far from shore.

Looking at the lights of the fishing village from afar, the workshops not far from the shore are still brightly lit, and the orange lights make them see clearly from a distance, and the people inside are still busy, and they haven't gotten off work yet.

However, there was no one waiting on the shore, and there was no light from the flashlight.

But after a while, when their fishing boat slowed down and got closer and closer, several flashlights lit up at the door of the workshop, and then moved all the way to the shore of the dock.

Father Ye slowed down, and after seeing the position and stopping at the edge of the Harvest, he just waited for a while, and the fishing boats on the shore also sailed out to pick up the goods.

"Brother Dong, you're too late, aren't you? When Uncle Pei arrived home in the afternoon, he also said that you should be the same as the last time, and you will arrive before dark, but we didn't see the boat left and right, but fortunately, the whole workshop was busy there, and everyone didn't have time to think about it. ”

"Well, it's a bit of a long delay, let's help pick up the goods first."

"Are two boats enough? If it's not enough, I'll come back and deliver it later. ”

"We'll see, there's more ...... today"

Wang Guangliang drove his eldest brother and second brother's boat, as well as the one he rented to them, anyway, they only drove out every once in a while to pick up the goods, and no one cared about the brothers.

There were more than ten tons of goods on the ship, and there were two big boats, and he originally wanted to take the quilts off the boat, but he found that there was no place to put them, there was seafood everywhere, and the quilt should be fishy if it was stained casually.

I can only do this today, and then I will come out and pull the quilt back tomorrow morning when I wake up.

After all the goods were moved, he and his father checked the boat again to see if there was anything else missing, and then locked all the locked cabins before climbing onto the waiting fishing boat.

They had already driven a boat back, and when they arrived, his wife was directing a group of women on the shore to help unload the goods, all of whom were common faces working in the workshop, as well as a few older children in the family, who were also giggling and very positive.

"The workshop hasn't gotten off work yet, mother?"

"What's next? You have to kill fish all night at night, otherwise, how can you kill those tens of thousands of catties of goods? In the afternoon, his in-laws said that the goods he brought back were 18,000 catties and more than 10,000 catties of groceries. ”

"You pulled tens of thousands of catties back here, at least sixty or seventy thousand catties, how did you kill them? Now the weather is a little warmer again, only the wind blows at night and it is cool, and it is hot during the day, what should I do if so many goods are broken? ”

"Tomorrow, I have to call dozens more women to come over to help kill fish for the shift, and the venue should not be able to dry, and in two days there will be open space to dry."

"What the hell are you doing, either sitting at home and idle, or you're so busy that you can't even sleep......"

After Ye Mu finished talking to him, she also shouted and pulled a woman to move the goods with her.

"Hurry up, finish moving these goods first, and then you go back and continue to kill fish......"

"When it's full, put it on the ground first, the board car is too small, and it can't fit a few baskets, but it's close to it, and you can come and pull the ...... in a while."

Ye Yaodong stood on the shore and felt that the sea breeze blowing over was not so cold and biting, although it was still cool, but it was much better than the sea, and the temperature had risen a lot in just a few days.

"Let's drive the tractor over and pull it, when will the pallet truck be pulled this time?" The tractor can be loaded a little more, and it can be faster with a few more trips. ”

Ye Mu reluctantly turned her head and retorted, "Then you don't have to ask for gas money, just use the board car to run a few more times." ”

"How much oil does it take?" With such a close road, the board car will pull a little bit in one trip, and how much time will it take to go back and forth? How many fish are killed? Use the tractor to hurry up so that you can free up your hands and continue to go back to killing fish. ”

"Okay, okay, you kids go and drive the tractor over......"

Wang Guangliang sent his cousin to drive a tractor, and he continued to help on the side, muttering by the way, "I said in the afternoon, drive the tractor out to pull goods faster, and I was scolded by my aunt." ”

"Don't pay attention to her, my mother is just distressed about the oil money, you tell her that it won't cost a few cents to pull these goods, and she won't be distressed."

"Hey."

Everyone was moving goods back and forth between the boat and the shore, muttering a few words by the way, there were so many goods, and there was a lot of noise.

But it can be seen that everyone is very happy, so many goods have to be killed for a few days, and they can work for a few days in a row.

These women who were called to work were all temporary workers, and they were counted as temporary workers, and they were counted as pay for each day of work, after all, just like his mother had just said, when they were free, they sat at the door and slapped mosquitoes, and they couldn't even sleep when they were busy.

Of course, it is cost-effective to do a day's money, and you can't invite people to sit there to fight mosquitoes, except for the group of little brothers he brought, they have to watch the workshop 24 hours a day, and they do have to calculate the wages on a monthly basis.

Really wait for him to get a fresh harvest boat, and then come to shore every other day, really have work every day, and there is a steady stream of fish killing every day, and then you have to hire regular employees.

After moving most of the goods, he stood aside and watched, and by the way, he looked at the workshop not far in front of him, where the dried fish workshop always had a large nylon bag on top to prevent sudden rain, while the workshop on the newly covered side did not.

These two days have to be rearranged and pulled up, otherwise there will be a lot of rain in spring, and it will be clear in a few days, and it will definitely rain.

In case you are caught off guard, the tens of thousands of catties of goods will be in trouble, and it will not be able to be collected in a while.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, some of the next few days were busy, and he couldn't walk around at home to rest like the previous few days.

A bunch of people with flashlights, moving and carrying at the docks, pallet trucks and tractors came and went, and it took several trips to pull both truckloads to the workshop and unload them.

And he stood on the dock and watched until the fish were moved, and finally the canned fish boxes were moved, and he beckoned people to move them all to the tractor, and he climbed up and drove the tractor to the gate of the yard.

The movement of his return was too big, and the neighbors on the left and right knew that he had brought back a bunch of goods, so they went wherever it was lively, and they were all watching and talking at the door of the workshop when they saw the transparent lights on the other side of the workshop.

The tractor drove directly from the door of the workshop, and everyone just turned their heads to look at it and continued to point to the goods all over the ground, pointing and talking, and by the way, they kept calling his mother, do you need anyone?

The children in the family have long listened to the sound of the tractor, and it is not strange to see it, it is not uncommon, and after running out of the door to take a look, they went in again, and they didn't even run to him to call the third uncle.

"Sister's... The little bunnies are too realistic, knowing that I have no gifts for them and no one to come forward to. ”

Lin Xiuqing was originally counting the goods in the workshop, but when she saw the tractor passing, she followed the trot home, and then said with a smile in the back.

"You are going to work at sea, not going far to make a lot of money, they all know that they came to the front a few days ago, and they didn't get anything, and of course there is no novelty."

"The girls in the family also went to the workshop to help kill the fish, and only a few boys did their homework and were still doing their homework at home. The adults in the family were too busy to take care of them, and they also played until they had just been beaten up before they came back to do their homework. ”

"If you don't clean up, next time you don't want to do your homework, you will be pulled to work in the workshop."

"Then they should be desperate, what are the boxes on your tractor?"

"Help me move it down and carry it into the house." As he spoke, Ye Yaodong climbed onto the tractor, moved down the goods stacked together, and put them on the edge for her to pick up.

After his father had just finished transporting the goods, he also went to the workshop to count the goods, and by the way, he took a look at the goods brought back by Pei's father in the afternoon.

Lin Xiuqing rolled up her sleeves and took it, "I can't put it in the house, it's all bags of dried fish, so I can only put it in the yard." ”

"Then put it in the yard first."

The old lady also walked to the workshop on crutches, and now she walked back slowly, watching the couple go about their work.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to go home for dinner first? Are you hungry? It's dark before you come back, it's all at this point, either eat first, don't go hungry. ”

"It's okay, it's done, the goods are almost unloaded, that's it."

"What are these boxes of things, where did you bring them back?"

The old lady looked left and right in a daze, and then whispered, "Did you also go to smuggle?" ”

Ye Yaodong glanced at her, "What nonsense?" Do you know this when you're old? ”

"I know a lot, the women in the workshop say everything every day, and there is nothing in the village that I don't know."

"It's amazing, you're getting older, and the intelligence bureau has a place for you?"

"Alas, I heard it when I was idle and walked around and basked in the sun, and in the next few days, the workshop was lively again, and I could know a lot of things......"

Ye Yaodong smiled, when he was getting old, he didn't expect that the gossip heart was quite sufficient, and he could still break into the village intelligence bureau, and he could get first-hand information.

"What do you mean by that? Who knows if what those people say is true or not, just listen to your ears. You really didn't do smuggling, did you? She asked in a small voice in the latter sentence, still struggling with this question.

"No, don't worry, I'm a serious and honest person, don't think about it, just listen to what others say, just listen to what the women outside say."

"I think so too, you've always been very well-behaved, and you definitely won't do this."

"Yes, so if you like to be lively, you can pass the time by listening to those people, but just listen to the excitement after a while."

"Hey, it's ......"

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile while moving the goods: "She is idle and has nothing to do, and now she loves to run to the workshop, because there are many people in the workshop, and when they are all working, she will move a stool and sit on the side and listen, and by the way, she will listen to a few good words and praise her." ”

"I'm very popular now, I brought the radio to them when they were working the other day, and they were very happy, and they had work and radio to listen to, and they looked forward to me every day."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and joked to the old lady, "So popular?" Then if you don't gossip to me, then tell me about it, what do people praise you? ”

"Hehe, people praise me for being younger and younger, more and more able to dress up, and the clothes I wear are better than my little daughter-in-law, red and green, all flowers."

"Oh, I also praised me for getting better and more energetic, and I can live to be 100 years old, saying that I can definitely see our family for five generations in the same house, and I can hold my great-grandson in a few years......"

"The old men and old ladies in the whole village are not as happy as me, and they are not as good as my life."

The old lady's old face smiled, and the orange light in the room was reflected, and her face looked very ruddy and spiritual.

"That's it? Gai Ming'er let you wear gold and silver, that's a good fate. ”

Thinking so, Ye Yaodong also wondered whether to give the old lady a gold ring, a gold necklace, a gold earring, or something, and a set for Ah Qing and his mother.

How can a woman not love jewelry? From old to young.

Now the price of gold is only a few yuan, and it is worth keeping its value when you buy it, and you can wear it.

She is so old, she has never enjoyed happiness, and she has never worn gold and silver, and when she is old, she has to arrange it.

In his last life, he only lived until 1987, and this year is 1985, thinking of this, his heart is tight, see if he is free in the past two days, if he goes to the county seat, he can turn around by the way if he has extra time, and if he has no extra time, he can also go to the town, their town is much more lively than the county seat.

The old lady told him to die happily, "Hahaha, you still wear gold and silver?" Then everyone's eyes should stick to me~"

"Wait, it's too late, and everyone will envy you to death."

"Okay, good~"

The husband and wife moved one by one, and the three of them talked and chatted there again, and the atmosphere was exceptionally warm and harmonious, and it took a while to unload half of the boxes into the yard.

Lin Xiuqing wiped the sweat from her forehead, "These are all canned fish?" I just saw it. ”

"Hmm."

"Did you go into the water and find the shipwreck from the other day?"

"Yes, I'll tell you more later, this big bag of clothes will be washed for you, and you can take the suitcase in, I'll drive the tractor back to the workshop, and go to the workshop to have a look."

"Oh good, then you can come over early to eat, I'll heat up the dish quickly."

"Got it."

The old lady also shouted on the side, "Come back early to eat, don't be hungry......"

The most important concern of the elderly is whether they are well fed and warm.

The group of women in the workshop had all sat down energetically again, all wearing sleeves on their hands, and the scales were scraped and flying by knives, and their mouths were constantly talking to each other, and the noise was bursting.

Ye Yaodong took the lead in looking at the goods unloaded by his house, and then walked to his father, looked at the goods unloaded by Uncle Pei in the afternoon, and asked a few casual questions.

"Quite a lot of goods......"

"I just took a look at the goods that my in-laws brought back in the afternoon, and I have killed a lot, but there are still 30,000 catties, plus what we brought back, it is really too much......"

"I've already told my mother that I will kill it overnight at night, and then call another group of people to change shifts early tomorrow morning, otherwise I won't be able to kill it at all."

"That's good! With so many goods, it had to be killed for a few days and nights, and more people hurriedly packed them out, dried them and put them away, so as not to have bad weather in the future. ”

"Hmm."

He took a casual look and went to the workshop on the other side, and there were a few people in the warehouse who were carrying and pickling back and forth, and his mother was there.

According to his mother's words, anyway, the next door is there to stay up all night to kill fish, and here is also a piece of work, fermented fish sauce is no more troublesome than killing fish, it is very trouble-free, and it will definitely not be finished in one night, finish it early, rest assured early.

Ye Yaodong looked at the corner of the open space on the side, and placed a whole row of two or three hundred large vats, and said a word of nonsense.

"The vat was delivered?"

"I sent it over, let those boys in the workshop, when they went to the county to deliver fish sauce two days ago, let them urge it by the way, and then it was sent the day before yesterday."

"That also saves me a trip, and the goods I brought back this time can also come in handy."

"It's almost useful, there are more than a dozen barrels in the open space next door that can't be filtered, and we have to wait for the next month to filter and package before they can be brought over for use."

He nodded, his mother occasionally took the time to come over to see and arrange, he could really save a lot of trouble, his mother was very familiar with some women in the village, and many things were very easy to arrange.

The fish sauce workshop is now on the right track in a decent way, and his mother has the first credit.

Ah Guang is right, motherless children are too pitiful.

After Father Ye finished inspecting the workshop, he ran over to him again, "Have you done it?" Okay, let's go home for dinner,"

"Alright, let's go."

He answered and walked out, but after a short walk, he turned back to call his mother, and took out some of the remaining red envelopes that had been prepared in his pocket.

"Mother, you come out ......"

"There are a few red envelopes here, you can send them to a few boatmen on Uncle Pei's side later......" He reported a list of names to his mother by the way.

Ye Mu took a pile of red envelopes with both hands, "What are you doing?" Too much money, and another red envelope? Why didn't you send me a few? Send ...... to outsiders His people over there have a lot of business about you......"

"What's the complaint, if you want to send a red envelope, you will send a red envelope, and there are so many words, go back later and let your father tell you again."

After Ye Yaodong said something casually, he followed his father out again, and Ye's mother hurriedly chased after him with a red envelope.

"What are you doing again?"

"When I was at sea, Uncle Pei and his crew helped me a little, so I thank them."

Ye Mu was nervous, "In danger?" ”

"No, don't think about it, didn't you see a lot of boxes moving down from the ship just now? Aren't you still asking what? It was the people from Uncle Pei's side who helped salvage it together. ”

"Oh, if only there is no danger, then I will send them now, lest they all fall asleep for a while. What's in those boxes of yours? ”

"Curious about what? Go back and let Daddy tell you again. ”

"It's been mysterious all day, and I have to go home and talk about ...... home"

Mother Ye glanced at her little eyes and said a few words, and then separated from the father and son and went to the village.

Ye Yaodong talked to his father about buying a nylon bag as a canopy and pulling it up on the top of the fish sauce workshop, and was going to hand it over to his father to do, but he was not free.

He will go to the county seat early tomorrow morning to find Director Chen, and he will go to the shipyard to talk about the plan for collecting fresh ships, and then he will have to go to Lin Jishang to deal with the batch of canned fish in the yard, and he doesn't know if anyone is at home.

Then I have to see if I have time for the next two days, and if I have time, I have to call all those cousins to talk about repairing the tomb.

Father Ye nodded and had no opinion, knowing that he was very busy now.

"Also, by the way, ask the carpenter, is the signboard plaque I want ready?"

"Got it, is there anything else?"

"Yes, the quilts on the boat, you remember to take them away tomorrow and let Aqing dry them, if there is anything I can't remember for a while, I'll tell you when I think of it."

"Hmm."

Father Ye is now completely looking forward to him, and at most occasionally makes a few comments.
