At night, around two o'clock in the morning, Ye Yaodong automatically opened his eyes and woke up.
It's been a while since he got up so early, but as long as he has something on his mind, he can get up immediately. In addition, he also got some sleep during the day, so he is full of energy at night.
He rustled up and put on his clothes. Lin Xiuqing said a few words of advice in a daze and then went back to sleep.
There was already a lot of flashlight light outside the dock, and there was a swaying halo. When he went out, the people at Aguang's side had not arrived yet, but they were already carrying things.
He also moved with them, and then followed the small boat to the big ship.
After everything was ready, almost all the fishing boats on the shore were gone, and the Harvest started to move. Ye Yaodong and A Guang stood on the deck to enjoy the breeze and chat.
Ye Yaodong actually felt that Aguang had too many things to do, and it was so troublesome to go to the provincial capital to inquire. In this era of inconvenient transportation, everyone thought it was too far to go to the county town, let alone the provincial capital.
If you see the right person, you can directly confirm it, ask someone to explain your family background, and file an application report. Eighteen generations of ancestors who have been soldiers have to go through it. What he does is completely unnecessary.
"Did Captain Chen say when the lighthouse will be completed?"
"I don't know. I wasn't at home at the time. It's just that my father heard what Aunt Ma said was good and Yingqiu would be satisfied, so he thought about asking about the situation at home before making a decision, so as not to find out that the situation at home is complicated after we get married."
"That doesn't matter much. He's a soldier anyway and he's not at home. No matter how complicated the situation at home is, there's no need for him to go back and face it."
"Then you still have to go and see it, otherwise you won't even know where your home is."
"Aren't you afraid that if you make a trip on your own, then when you come back, people won't think so and just reject it? Why don't you make the trip in vain?"
"Aunt Ma said there was a show, and my dad also thought it was okay, so he wanted me to go and see it. If he rejects it directly at that time, forget it. I just give up and find another one nearby, so I'll make do with it. Otherwise, my dad will now
It’s always wavering, and my sister can’t hold her back.”
Since he wanted to do well, he didn't say anything.
He thought that he might have eaten too much these days, made a lot of money recently, and was too idle, so he just took this trip.
So people still can’t eat too much.
Anyway, he just followed the trend and then asked about the things he cared about.
"I heard that your relative who appeared at the dock before is now telling you to go back to worship your ancestors. When?"
"Two months later, I am going with you this time because I want to inquire about it. It is better to talk in person. I can't explain clearly on the phone."
"Oh, then if you have anything else to do, I will go find out myself and we will meet at the pier."
"We'll see when the time comes. We'll talk about it after we get ashore."
A Guang nodded, "Then go back to the cabin and lie down for a while. My father is sailing the ship, and his bed is just free for you to lie down on. It's already noon before we dock, so it's still a long time."
"good."
The other boatmen had already gone back to the cabin to lie down after finishing their work, and the two of them also went in together. It was a long night and it was still very early.
Ye Yaodong doesn't have so many problems. It doesn't matter if other people's beds are messy. As long as the man on the sea has a place to lie down.
The machine kept making noisy noises, and the fishing boat kept rocking. When people got up to work, he kept lying down, only half asleep. When he was fully awake, he got up to eat. After eating, when people started working, he still lay back down.
.
It wasn't until he was approaching the dock of the provincial capital that Aguang came running to call him, and he quickly followed.
The other boatmen were still lying there. They just sailed along and did not stop to fish.
After they got off the ship and onto the dock, the Harvest left immediately.
Ye Yaodong stretched and twisted his neck, "Just ask the Harvest to deliver it here. It will consume a lot of fuel along the way. In the past, it was almost ready to launch the net after polishing it in the morning. Now it is until noon. When we drive out again, we can launch the net."
It’s already half the afternoon, and I’ve wasted a lot of time.”
"I can't help it. It's inconvenient to take a bus. It will probably take a day to transfer back and forth. It's too far."
"It's really too far, it's too hard to get there by car, and the traffic and roads are too bad."
A Guang shrugged, and the two of them walked to the pier together while talking.
The wharf in the provincial capital is bustling with people even at noon. Boats dock intermittently throughout the day. People are coming and going on the shore, and the sound of hawking is also constant.
Ye Yaodong looked around, and happened to meet the eyes of Ye Yaohai who was sitting there eating melon seeds. After the other party looked at him in surprise, he immediately stood up and walked towards him.
"Comrade Ye Yaodong!"
"Big brother, are you enjoying the cool weather?"
"Hey, idle time is idle. What kind of goods are there today? It just happens to help me. I haven't opened a business for a long time since you were away. Why haven't you docked in the provincial capital for so long?"
"I traveled to Zhejiang Province this month, and I was hit by a typhoon just after I came back. Then I haven't gone to sea until now. I came here with my brother-in-law today, and I just wanted to chat with you."
"Okay, let's talk while we walk, and I'll tell you about the ancestral hall by the way." Ye Yaohai hooked his shoulder and pulled him directly to his small dormitory.
Ye Yaodong stopped there, "Wait a minute, I still have to accompany my brother-in-law on some errands."
"What are you doing? Do you need help? I still have a few brothers who can help."
"I want to inquire about someone." Ye Yaodong looked at A Guang.
Aguang told him the town and village he was going to, and said he wanted to inquire about someone.
"Isn't this just a town near our hometown? I don't know the village, but I know the town. If you want to go, you can't make it back and forth by bus now. You can only go to the town, not the village.
.”
"Is it okay if I take a tractor? Ask a tractor to take me there, wait there, and then take me back."
Ye Yaohai pondered for a moment, "If you believe me, I will ask a brother to drive you there on a tractor, and then I will bring you back."
A Guang glanced at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong was also hesitant, "See for yourself?"
Aguang looked at Ye Yaohai and said with a smile: "You are Dongzi's brother of the same clan. Dongzi also said that he has collected the goods for you many times before, and you have helped a lot, which saves a lot of trouble. Since big brother can help, can
Save me some trouble, I'll leave it to you."
"It's easy to say, there is no work to do anyway. A few brothers are idle. We are all outsiders, so I will ask a brother to run with you. We are familiar with that part of the road, and you don't need to just call a tractor to get there.
I have to ask all the way, which wastes time."
Aguang thinks it makes sense. If you know the way, there is no need to waste time by trying to figure it out.
"Then it's up to you."
"Let's go back inside. Then let Dongzi stay and talk, and I'll ask a brother to accompany you and show you the way."
Ye Yaodong was led forward by him, and when he heard him call him "Dongzi" smoothly, he just smiled on his face.
He also sat at the door of the small purchasing point and watched Ye Yaohai call someone to come over and give instructions, and then a tractor came over after a while.
"Then Dongzi, just talk to Big Brother here. Since I already have someone here who can lead the way, I'll go by myself."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Then be careful and come back soon."
Ye Yaohai also told the brothers who were leading the way to take good care of the people, and then they set off immediately.
"Let's order some food and drinks. We'll enjoy the cool weather and chat at the door. We'll wait for your brother-in-law to come back."
"You just drink in broad daylight?"
"What better time to drink and reminisce during the day and at night? You can do it anytime, anywhere if you're happy."
After the others heard what he said, they immediately ran to prepare, and Ye Yaodong didn't say anything.
Ye Yaohai dug into his pocket, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him, "Eat the melon seeds first."
"Brother, your life is quite leisurely these days. Others are sweating under the sun, but you sit at the door and eat melon seeds leisurely."
"There is no other way. Business is not easy to do. I can only open it occasionally and rely on outsiders like you."
"What did bro originally do?"
"What I originally did? What I originally did was very complicated."
"smuggling?"
Ye Yaohai glared at him, "That's nonsense. Why are you so direct? You just opened your mouth and startled me."
"Ah, I also thought that everyone is not an outsider, so I asked directly. Isn't it very common to do this now? There are smugglers everywhere, and they all know their names."
Ye Yaodong chuckled. It wasn't him smuggling anyway, so why shouldn't he ask directly?
"That's not true, don't make blind guesses."
"Hey, if you want to do this, I can ask you about the next thing."
"What?"
"A filling machine that can fill liquid into a plastic bag and then automatically seal it to prevent leakage. I don't know if there is a fully automatic one, but semi-automatic ones are also available. I heard that it is imported and brought from abroad.
Yes, it is not produced in China. Do you know this thing?"
"Made abroad? Which country?"
"I don't know which country it is. I haven't seen it. I just heard it mentioned by others."
"I'll ask you later."
"Brother, do you really have some connections?"
Ye Yaohai turned his head to look at him, "Don't think too much, I'm not doing that. I'll ask the overseas Chinese in my hometown later if they know which country they are from."
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "They are all members of the same clan? Haven't you left yet?"
"Yes, when I came back, I donated money to build the ancestral hall, Mazu temple, and roads. I also set up factories in my hometown and sang operas for seven days. Not to mention how lively those days were, and now governments everywhere are trying to persuade them to stay, and now they are also
I'm in the province now, and I guess I'm about to leave. I'll ask you in the next two days."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"It's so powerful. These overseas Chinese are so rich that they came here specifically to build their hometown."
"It was very difficult before. There were mountains, rivers and fields. I couldn't find a way out, so I had no choice but to go abroad."
"You were denied a visa in the morning, worshiped Mazu at noon, and boarded the ship in the evening, right? Hahahaha..."
Ye Yaodong was originally just joking. This was a joke spread on the Internet decades later. Fujian residents are exempt from visas all over the world.
But when he started laughing, Ye Yaohai's surprised expression suddenly turned expressionless, and he suddenly understood something.
Damn it?
Damn it?
The truth?
Snake head?
He just said it casually, did he get it right?
Looking at Ye Yaodong's shocked expression, Ye Yaohai knew that he seemed to have been exposed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, why are you so surprised? They are all from the same clan and it's okay to ask?"
"Brother, you are really good!"
I’ll post one first, and I’ll fill in the missing ones when I get home tomorrow. I won’t be able to write at night.
Chapter completed!
