Chapter 197 Filling the Ship with Fish
"Dongzi? Are you still there? I thought you went back."
The timely rain has arrived!
Ye Yaodong looked at A Guang with bright eyes. He was indeed his good brother and he showed up when he should.
"Ah Guang, hurry up, do you still have the strength in your hand? Climb over and help me pull up this net."
"Huh? Oh, here we come."
In fact, neither he nor his father could lift their arms, so there was little point in staying any longer, and they were planning to return.
But, that's the father-in-law and uncle in his heart, so he has to do it even if he doesn't have the strength.
Father Pei moved the boat closer to make it easier for A Guang to pass.
Aguang crawled over on hands and feet, slapped the muscles on his arms, walked up and waved his hands, and then helped pull together.
The grinning back teeth of the three people were almost broken, and it took a lot of effort to move the fishing net upwards little by little.
As soon as they moved up, the three of them fell to the ground with a plop, and they were really exhausted this time.
"Okay, you guys, you can actually catch marlin with such a broken net?" Aguang saw that there were big holes with broken threads everywhere in the fishing net.
"It doesn't matter if you pull in the big fish, Marde, I finally pulled it in. I wanted to give up just now."
"Then should you thank me for coming in time?"
"Yes, thank you for your eight generations of ancestors!"
Father Ye glared at him, "Why are you talking?"
"Ah, it's okay, uncle, we always talk like this." A Guang also said happily.
"My dad is so weird!"
"Hahaha, are you going back now?"
"Yeah, it's getting dark, and my dad and I are exhausted. We originally planned to go back, but we saw a marlin coming next to us. I didn't catch it. I feel sorry for having worked so hard all day."
Aguang kicked the marlin that was still in the net, "It's quite good, but it feels smaller than the one I caught. We just caught a marlin, and it took a lot of effort."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him with envy and hatred, "Can you please stop saying it to make me jealous?"
"Hahaha, you guys have caught a lot of fish. The boat is full of fish. You really came home with a full load today. I walked away and went back. I'm exhausted. I will probably have to eat with my feet at night."
I really have to eat with my feet, I don’t even want to move a finger, and I can’t move it.
But no longer able to move, I still had to get up and drive the boat back, and I still had to bleed the marlin with a knife.
But when he climbed up to the marlin with a knife and wanted to bleed it, his hands were shaking so much that the knife fell directly, hit his thigh, and slid along the thigh to the top of his thigh...
His legs shook in shock...
A cut was made in his crotch in an instant, and the knife was coldly pressed against his lifeblood...
"What the hell..."
Ye Yaodong felt the coldness in his crotch, and was so surprised that he took the knife away. He had specially sharpened this knife a few days ago, just to make it easier to kill fish!
"Why are you so surprised?"
"I almost lost my third leg."
Father Ye didn't believe him. He kept grinning all day long, and he knew he was a fool.
Ye Yaodong stared at the marlin in front of him and cursed, "Is it easy for me to catch you? You actually want to stab me? Damn..."
….
He adjusted his trousers and now moved into a half-crouched position. He patted the back of his right hand before Weiwei shook his hands and gave it a complete set and threw it aside.
Don't even think about getting a single room, you're late and it's full.
After finishing his work, he stood up again and looked at the sea. It was already dark, but there was still a faint light. He could see that there were fewer ships on the sea in the distance, but there were still many ships staying there. Some boats that arrive late are reluctant to leave.
As their boat sailed farther and farther, the sky became darker and darker. In addition to Aguang's boat, there were also several boats returning in the same direction with them. He could basically determine that they were from the surrounding villages.
Everyone is lucky today.
There was no more excitement, so Ye Yaodong had no choice but to sit down in the corner and rest. His arms hanging down naturally became heavier and heavier, and it felt more and more like they were not his own hands.
I have to be a useless person for a few more days.
The closer we get to the coast, the fewer boats there are in the same direction. We only see a few boats, either docking at the pier in the town or at the pier in a nearby village. The boat the middle-aged woman fell into turned out to be the one next door to them. village.
There were only six or seven scattered boats that continued to move forward. Only then did Ye Yaodong discover that there were two more boats from their village, and one belonged to Uncle Lin Jingye.
There were so many ships before that it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, so they didn't pay attention. This time they discovered that Uncle Lin and his son were also working in that sea area today.
Father Ye greeted him with a smile, "Are you chasing sardines today too?"
"Good guy, it turns out you are here too! Guoyuan is also there?"
Pei Guoyuan is A Guang’s father’s name!
"No, of course I am the one who can make a fortune." Father Ye said proudly.
When Ye Yaodong heard this, he also thought about it. With such a big harvest today, his father had to calculate more money. He had worked hard today, and it was no easier than before.
Looking at the boat full of sardines, these can weigh several thousand kilograms and can be sold for hundreds. And the dozen or so big fish can be sold for a thousand yuan, right?
And nineteen gannets!
This trip directly earned all the capital of this boat. This boat was so worth it!
He calculated it in his mind, with a smile on his face and a happy heart. His arm would hurt even if it hurt for a few days.
After five fishing boats docked one after another, they docked neatly in a row. There were not many people on the shore at this time, only a few women were still waiting worriedly for the men who had not returned from home.
Even Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but worry and ran out to wait. It was too late. Ye Yaodong had never come back so late from sea. She was so worried about what happened to him. She couldn't sit still at home and was restless. After feeding the two children, I handed them over to my sister-in-law, and then hurried out to wait.
Mother Ye was also worried. Generally, fishing boats like theirs would come back before dark. Even the eldest and second eldest son were back. His father and the third son were still nowhere to be found at such a late hour. This made people have to worry about what happened to them.
Fortunately, there were other women waiting on the dock, so they felt relieved and comforted themselves that there might be more goods today, so they stayed a little longer.
The women on the shore didn't feel relieved until they saw the fishing boat in the distance.
….
As soon as the boat docked, everyone swarmed over and asked concerned questions. But before they even finished speaking, they were all stunned by the boat full of fish, and their unfinished words were stuck in their throats.
"Ah...Adong...why are there so many?" Lin Xiuqing stared at the silver-white sardines on the fishing boat, feeling dazzled and blinked a few times.
Mother Ye was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "This... have you encountered a school of fish?"
"It's not just a group of sardines, it's a storm of billions of sardines. We were lucky enough to encounter it. We have been reluctant to leave, so we have delayed it until now."
Other fishing boats nearby were also talking and gesticulating excitedly.
The women were overjoyed when they heard this, and they almost smiled crookedly. How much was this ship full of goods worth?
Those who are too thoughtful will peek at other people's boats to see if they have more fish than their own.
"Mom, go to Ah Cai's place and get all the baskets, and get these fish ashore quickly."
"Yeah?"
After being reminded like this, Ye Mu quickly ran away. If someone else got ahead of her later, they would have to wait. It was so late, who wouldn't want to finish it and go home early? Who is not hungry waiting here?
Lin Xiuqing also quickly followed to help.
The others also reacted now and followed to get the basket.
Fortunately, there are several purchasing points at the pier, and the other two ships are not fixed with them to receive goods. Otherwise, one ship after another will receive the goods and have to wait for several hours.
After the basket was delivered to the boat, Ye Yaodong asked Lin Xiuqing to go back first. He had just seen her running so neatly behind Ye's mother, and he was afraid that she would fall.
"The two children are being watched by my sister-in-law. I'll be here to help you load the goods. It'll be fine."
Ye Yaodong glared at her, "Go and call the eldest and second brothers out to help, otherwise no one will be able to carry the baskets later."
He and his father are no longer alive. The longer the time goes by, the more sore and painful the arm becomes, and the harder it is to lift it. Now it can only hang straight there, and it needs tea oil to be applied when it goes back.
Lin Xiuqing was willing to go back and call for help after hearing that it was not that she was not allowed to help.
"Slow down, be careful on the road, remember to watch the road, don't fall, I'll have my headlight for you."
"I know, it's long-winded. I'm not a child. There are so many people, so I'm not afraid of making people laugh..." Lin Xiuqing looked at the people next to her with some embarrassment. Fortunately, they were all loading up their goods happily and didn't listen to Ye Yaodong's straightforward words. Most people nowadays are very reserved when it comes to expressing concern.
While loading the fish, Mother Ye happily asked them how they caught it? Are there a lot of sardines on the sea? Are there many ships? Also asked what kind of fish are those big fish piled in the corner? Is it worth the money?
Ye's father was worried that he had no one to share with. Ye's mother's words directly touched his heart. He excitedly told her everything he saw and heard from early morning to afternoon. Ye Yaodong added on the side.
Mother Ye and the women on the boat next to her kept exclaiming. After exclaiming, they happily asked for details again.
…
