The heavy truck drove in front, followed closely behind by an engineering vehicle.
The crowd exclaimed, and the children on the beach went crazy with joy, jumping and screaming. Fortunately, there was a group of uniformed Coast Guard and Ocean Bureau officers who helped separate the crowd.
Ye Yaodong and others of ten and twenty also helped to prevent the crowd from getting closer, especially those ignorant children, so that the two cars could drive closer.
When the car approached, several young men in green military uniforms got out of the car and shook hands with Director Chen and others.
After a while, they issued an order and began to hoist the gray whale.
The spectacular sight made more people gather on the beach.
They were all nearby villagers. When they saw the heavy trucks and construction vehicles, they knew something was going on and ran out one after another, some of them carrying their rice bowls.
The scene was lively and lively, and reporters were taking pictures around. Ye Yaodong also took two pictures. Fortunately, it was not dark yet.
After those people were busy for a while, the tail of the mother whale was slowly lifted up in a short while, and the baby gray whale also made a fierce cry, which made people feel like it was crying.
Father Ye sighed and shook his head, "Hey, the big one is dead. I don't know if the little one will survive if I drag it away."
"Just leave it to fate, it's just a fish," Pei's father said.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we would have to wait until the tide was full. Once the tide was full, we would not be able to hang it, and we would have to wait until the tide recedes tomorrow morning."
Ye Yaopeng stood on tiptoes and stretched his neck to watch the big whale being slowly lifted onto the heavy truck. "Is this little whale put in the big bucket on the car over there? There seems to be some instrument in it?"
Ye Yaodong responded: "I don't know, I can't see it, and I can't get close now. Anyway, I will definitely try my best to save this little whale."
There was a dense crowd of people on the beach, all looking at the hoisted big gray whale, and everyone was amazed.
The hanging gray whale was several stories high. A child looked up at it and fell to the ground.
"It's so big..."
"I know this fish is big, but it looks even more spectacular when hung up. This fish looks like it weighs dozens of tons."
"There must be twenty or thirty tons, but we can't overweight..."
The big gray whale was slowly lifted onto the heavy truck under the spotlight, and then it was the little gray whale's turn.
Ye Yaodong and others took the initiative to help. Director Chen also greeted the people and let him help carry it.
When he was lifted onto the heavy truck, he also saw the rectangular container containing the gray whale, which was also filled with oxygen. It seemed that it should be able to last for several hours, so whether it could survive later would depend on skill and luck.
Director Chen smiled and talked to the people in green military uniforms. After they got off the car, he said a few polite words and saluted, and watched the two cars slowly drive away.
The crowd dispersed as they walked and discussed with unfinished content, and went back to their homes. Only the people in the three boats and Chen Ju and others were still standing there.
Director Chen also turned to them and said: "It's almost dark, you should go back early. I will inform A Dong if there is any news."
Ye Yaodong nodded quickly, "Okay, let's go back first, and you should go back from get off work early. Today we were delayed all day because of these two fish."
"It can't be said that I was delayed. I didn't come here in vain. Fortunately, I didn't just send someone over here. I came here specifically to have a look. Then let's just go home. The tide has risen and your fishing boats can get out.
"
"OK."
After bidding farewell to Director Chen and the others, now they were the only people in three boats on the beach. As the tide rose, they had no choice but to go up first.
"What should we do now? Go home directly?" Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong and asked.
Lin Xiangyang said from the side: "It's getting dark, do you want to stay one more night? Go home for a meal first?"
Ye Yaodong refused directly, "No, we have already been delayed for a day. Let's cook something to eat on the boat and sail out when the tide is high. If we stay one more night, we won't be able to leave during the day tomorrow."
Father Ye also said: "It's the New Year's Eve and you are all busy, so we won't go there. We will go directly home later. Everyone is anxious to go back."
"Okay, then I won't keep you here. You go back early, and I will take Ayuan back early. It's getting dark."
"Um."
After sending the two of them away, they each returned to their respective boats to prepare dinner and wait for the tide to rise.
The tide has not reached its highest level yet, but is still rising slowly. Although the water level has come up, the fishing boat is still stranded and cannot go out until the tide is high.
Everyone also took advantage of the free time to cook and solve the problem of eating. Of course, there was also a lot of gossip.
Of course, the most talked about reward is the reward. Not only the boatmen are looking forward to it, but Father Ye is also looking forward to it.
He was not included in the newspaper or the commendation certificate a few days ago, which made him deeply regretful. This time, he was so looking forward to it that he would crawl over to ask Ye Yaodong whenever he could.
Ye Yaodong was annoyed by his father. He asked repeated questions again and again, but his father was still nagging.
"Just wait, you can't run away, it's not your turn, it's useless to chase after me, and you are still chasing me to ask, what's the use of asking me? I can't think of the boss not giving you a reward, I
Can I write you a pen and send it to you?"
He also couldn't bear to talk because his father was so verbose, and his attitude was not very good.
Father Ye scolded him, turned around and left angrily.
Ye Yaodong suddenly became quiet and didn't bother to care whether his father was angry or not.
Others also heard that Father Ye was criticized and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Everyone had a simple dinner, and when the tide was high and the fishing boat could move, they quickly set off and went home.
It's almost midnight when I get home now.
When their fishing boat first entered the village waters, it happened to run into the boat where Wang Guangliang received the goods. They directly approached it and stopped the boat in the middle of the sea.
"Brother Dong, you're back, what a coincidence."
"It seems that you sailed back first and we were lagging behind. We only met now."
"It should be."
"Just drive back. Your boat is full and there is no room for our cargo."
"good."
"Brother Dong, did you see big whales when you docked in the city? I heard that someone dragged back two whales, one big and one small. They weighed dozens of tons and were taller than a building. They also dispatched heavy trucks from the army to follow them.
Carrying it on a construction truck is awesome."
The boatmen said with smiles on their faces: "Isn't this us?"
"We dragged it back!"
"Didn't you go see it? That's right. If you had seen it, you would definitely know that it was towed back by our three boats."
Wang Guangliang and the others' eyes widened.
"Fuck!"
"You dragged it back? Isn't it? Damn it, we saw heavy trucks passing by us at that time. We wanted to see the excitement, but there were a lot of goods that had to be weighed."
"What a pity. I wanted to take a look at it at that time. If I had known it was your boat, Brother Dong, we would have left one of us to watch while the others went to watch the excitement."
Ye Yaodong was very satisfied after hearing this. He was quite dedicated and ran away without seeing the excitement.
"I took the photos. I'll just develop them and show them to you when the time comes."
"It's a pity that I didn't see it live."
"Hurry to the shore. It will take a long time to unload a pile of cargo."
They also left several kilograms of cargo in each ship, which would have to be weighed after unloading.
We usually dock during the day, but unexpectedly today, we got back in the middle of the night, so we still have to call Ah Qing to weigh the goods later.
Fortunately, they have enough manpower on all three boats, so there is no need to worry about loading and unloading the cargo.
Lin Xiuqing was sleeping soundly when she heard the familiar knocking on the window again, so she had to get up and open the door.
"Why are you coming back at this time today? Isn't the market closed during the day?"
Ye Yaodong only told her something unexpected and asked her to take the accounting book and go to the workshop to be weighed first. He waited for her at the door and explained to her in detail as he walked.
More than 100 baskets of goods were moved around, and everyone was sweating in the cold weather in the middle of the night.
After getting the goods for several ships, Lin Xiuqing also learned what happened today from their chat.
On the way back, I was filled with emotion.
"I didn't expect that the baby would still be pregnant... I don't know if he can survive now."
"There will always be a way, and there should be a way to rely on technological means. Anyway, it is better than releasing the animal back into the sea, which will lead to death in less than two days."
"Then did you not go to the market today to bring back the sales?"
"I'm not free. I'll go back tomorrow after I have some rest."
"It's already early in the morning. It's the 23rd day of the lunar calendar. Tomorrow is the New Year's Day festival. There are markets everywhere these days. When are we going to close our doors and take a break?"
"This year's 30th is New Year's Eve. Otherwise, just work for one more day and then rest. You have earned all the money you should earn throughout the year. Most people have prepared New Year's goods in advance. Close the shop early and let your parents go back to their hometown to rest. They will go back to have a baby tomorrow."
Year."
Lin Xiuqing smiled broadly, "I mean the same thing. I haven't been back to my hometown a few times throughout the year. They probably also want to go back."
"Okay, then I don't have to go to sea anymore. Let's take a break early for the New Year. Tomorrow we will calculate the wages of the boatmen and let everyone relax in advance. The weather is good this month, and everyone is working hard at sea.
There is no real rest for a few days. The other rented fishing boats will continue to go out to sea, so it doesn’t matter to us, we just wait to collect the rent.”
"Um."
"A Cai has someone to collect the goods, so let him continue to collect the goods for a few more days. Anyway, we're hiring someone to do it."
"good."
"Then I'm going to the city tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? I'll buy some New Year's goods for your parents to take back."
"Okay."
"No, it's today."
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "I know."
Ye Yaodong stretched his body after walking into the house, "I have been working for a whole year and finally have a rest."
"I'll get you some hot water, wipe it with you, and I'll make you a bowl of ginger tea. I see that you have a stuffy nose and sneezing even when you talk, but don't get sick like the Chinese New Year. Do you want to cook you some midnight snacks?
?”
"Cook some, it's really hard to go into the water on a cold day."
"Is there any reward for this trip?"
"I don't know. I guess there should be some, but it's definitely not as good as the last time I found overseas spy equipment."
"Well, this time, three boats were towed back together, and there are more than a dozen people. I will definitely not give too many rewards. If there are any, they will probably be given to the boss of the boat."
"Then I don't know."
After the two entered the door, while they were talking, the old lady came out of the house again on crutches and watched Ye Yaodong die helplessly.
I don’t know how many times I told him. Anyway, if I heard any noise in the middle of the night, it must be that he was back. He told her not to get up to see, but she didn’t listen to a word.
He still went his own way and got up when he heard any noise to see if he was back.
Ye Yaodong could only patiently let her ask questions here and there, but she did not go back to the room after asking, and continued to sit there and look at him.
She didn't go back to the house until he went into the house to sleep.
Ye Yaodong lay down, still thinking about the old lady's aging face.
Although sometimes I find it annoying that the old man is so verbose and keeps circling around him, talking about a lot of things and things, but that's because I love him.
"I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy some tonics and come back to stew them up for everyone in the family. I haven't eaten anything good all year round. I'm taking advantage of the Chinese New Year break to take care of my body. You have to make money, but you also need to take care of your health."
"Yeah, okay."
It's a pity that there are no physical examinations now. Who is a good person who has nothing to do and goes to the hospital?
The old lady's legs and feet are inconvenient, and her body can't stand the torment of running around. She has to toil even if she is not sick, otherwise she can go to the hospital for a physical examination.
Ah Qing also had to go for a physical examination, and the cancer from his previous life was always floating in his mind.
However, life has been good in the past two years. She is very young now, only in her 20s, so there should be nothing wrong with her. When the economy becomes more developed in a few years, everything that needs to be checked will have to be checked early.
"Are the Angong Niuhuang Pills you bought two years ago still in good condition?"
"Yes, I received it in a drawer and kept it well. I don't usually open it. It should be better if it is sealed there. Why do you suddenly ask about this medicine?"
"No, I just suddenly thought that the old lady seems to be getting old again. Although birth, old age, illness and death are human nature, it is better to live longer and at least let the elderly enjoy all the blessings they deserve."
"Didn't you say that this medicine is very effective and has miraculous effects? Then it can save you from any emergency and make you feel less regretful."
"Well, go to sleep, I'm just talking casually."
Perhaps he was stimulated by Lin Guangyuan's almost falling into the sea, and watching the whale fall and the birth of the baby whale with his own eyes. I feel that life is so fragile and magical sometimes.
In the evening, the old lady gathered around him and asked him about her health as she had for ten years, and he felt a little more emotional.
God still favored him very much, and gave him everything he should have. In fact, he also had it in his previous life, but he didn't know how to cherish it. He should cherish it in this life.
He turned sideways and hugged Ye Xiaoxi, but realized that he was sneezing constantly and had a cold. He should not get too close to avoid infecting the child.
"You lie in the middle, and I'll lie on the outside."
"What are you doing? Don't you just like to lie in the middle and hug your daughter when you come back?"
"I have a cold. I'm afraid of infecting it to her. You can lie down in the middle."
"Okay, it's indeed my biological child."
"Nonsense, he looks exactly like me. Of course he is my biological child."
"Speaking of biological children, a big event has happened in the village in the past few days. Wang Chuyun and her son were kicked out together. Because her son is not like her husband, she is suspected to be not biological, and now there is a quarrel."
"oh?"
He knew this. In his previous life, he knew that her son was not her husband Li Dawei's, but it was not revealed until nineteen years ago, and he was beaten and kicked out.
The son was already eighteen years old at that time, and the mother and son left together without causing much trouble, nor did they hear who the adulterer was.
She is also married for the second time.
In this life, he actually got together with Ah Wei. Is it because of this that he was exposed in advance?
He became excited instantly. The yellow melon was already more attractive, not to mention it was different from the previous life.
He was a little curious about whose father her son was. He didn't know in his previous life, and he didn't know if it would be revealed in this life.
Lin Xiuqing was also in high spirits. Everyone would immediately become energetic when gossiping about other people, especially such explosive ones.
"Then everyone was guessing whose son her son was, and they were secretly comparing who he looked like."
"Like who?"
"You can't believe it. No one thought it at first, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that his son looked like Chen Jiale, the eldest son of Secretary Chen's family, and he also looked similar to his grandson A Bin, and they were only two years apart.
Two years old..."
Ye Yaodong was slightly surprised and then understood.
Sure enough, things didn't happen out of nowhere.
In the previous life, there were rumors that Wang Chuyun and Chen Jiale were having an affair, but at that time it was said that the two were dating. The Chen family looked down on the Wang family and did not agree, and they later got married.
I thought that Wang Chuyun's son was two years younger than the grandson of the Chen family.
I guess that after becoming a widow, my old relationship with Chen Jiale rekindled. Originally, the pretty widow was more intolerable to loneliness.
Lin Xiuqing continued: "In the past two days, the women in the workshop said that Wang Chuyun and Chen Jiale had a date a few years ago, but because the Wang family had a bad reputation, Secretary Chen did not agree."
"Now everyone says that she either had an affair before she got married or she had an affair after she became a widow. They all call her a vixen."
"But they are from the same village, and no one reported her for breaking her shoes. During this period, she also beat her husband very badly. I heard that she tried to escape every day, but couldn't."
"Now she is eager to take her son and leave."
"It's just that the commotion at Secretary Chen's house has been a little ugly recently. Li Dawei keeps coming to make trouble, but Chen Jiale doesn't admit it. But I don't know if some agreement has been reached. It has stopped since yesterday. I heard that Wang Chuyun is divorced.
Take your son back to your parents’ home.”
Ye Yaodong felt that this drama was very exciting when he heard it. He couldn't help but admire this woman. With her own efforts, she disturbed the peace of several families.
Now I'm having an affair with Ah Wei, I'm really restless, I really can't get involved with this kind of woman.
"But now I heard that Li Dawei's father is no good. His son is not at home and he still wants to touch Wang Chuyun. Now the father and son have turned against each other, and his father was also beaten by him."
"Not to mention the excitement surrounding their family during this period, they come out one after another."
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "Isn't Ah Wei back?"
Lin Xiuqing immediately thought that some time ago, Wang Chuyun and Ah Wei had also communicated unclearly.
"No, I don't think I dare to come back to celebrate the New Year. How shameful. Last time, because the 5,000 yuan turned into 50,000 yuan, I couldn't get it out, so I ran away overnight in despair."
"It's a pity. There will be more fun to see when we come back."
"It's not that easy to get over. Old lovers, new lovers, and ex-husbands, my God, it makes me so confused just thinking about it. How can such a woman exist?"
Ye Yaodong pulled the quilt over her and patted her, "Don't worry about her. If you have a broken shoe, whoever gets it will be unlucky. Go to bed early, it's very late."
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and looked at him, "Has she ever hooked up with you?"
"No, I'm so busy every day that my feet never touch the ground..."
"Then Wang Lizhen can still seize the opportunity to seduce you."
Ye Yaodong was speechless.
"Don't scratch all the dirty and smelly things on my body. Isn't it disgusting? Having Wang Lizhen is disgusting enough. Adding Wang Chuyun to the mix will let people live."
Lin Xiuqing was immediately amused by him.
"Who made you so famous and rich now? You are so good-looking. There must be many people who want to throw themselves into your arms. You often go out and are not in the village..."
Ye Yaodong felt happy when he heard this, "You just need to know the goods, be nice to me, be obedient, and love your husband. I am a hot potato now, and I will definitely rest at home during the Chinese New Year..."
Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "What's wrong with resting at home? Do you want to give other women a chance by resting at home?"
"Hiss... how is that possible? I'm just telling you that I want you to feel a little bit in danger and be nicer to me. I'm loyal. Wild flowers are not as good as domestic flowers."
"Huh, sleep."
Ye Yaodong watched her turn her back and murmured softly, "A woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea. This sentence is indeed correct. The heart is really smaller than the tip of a needle."
"What did you say?"
"Ah, nothing!"
He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Early the next morning, he slept until he woke up naturally, and the village had begun a new round of praising him.
They praised him for his good eyesight and dragged a big whale back, but it turned out that there was still a small whale in its belly. They rescued a small whale and then alerted the officials, who dispatched heavy trucks and construction vehicles.
It won't be long before you will definitely be praised and rewarded again.
As long as you follow him, you won't have to worry about making money or becoming famous.
This also resulted in that as soon as he walked out, a bunch of people asked him if he had any new boats and if he needed boatmen.
Some other villagers also came to his workshop to ask for work.
He always refused with a smile, and only said that if necessary, he would give priority to the villagers of the village. This gained a lot of reputation, and the villagers of the village spared no effort to praise him.
Ye Yaodong went to the workshop and took the lead in inspecting the goods brought back yesterday, and they were all being processed.
He went to the fish sauce place to check the amount of fermentation, and also to see how many bags of fish sauce were produced.
He plans to step up production now before the end of the year and put it all into the market after the end of the year.
After all, he is engaged in wholesale. If there is not a large quantity, the stock will be out of stock at once. There must be a time buffer to prepare a large amount of inventory before putting it on the market.
The corner of the room where the machine was originally placed is now filled with baskets of fish sauce, numbering at least ten to twenty thousand.
"How many can we produce every day now?"
"If you don't work at night and have a rest, if you just work during the day, the number will be two to three thousand a day. Now there will be more skilled workers."
"That's not bad."
One ton a day, 10 tons in 10 days, 30 tons in a month.
Now we receive about 10 tons of goods every day, and then we will produce 4 tons a day, which will not be enough.
However, what is produced now are all real high-quality products. They can be fermented twice in the future, which is quite cheap. After fermenting 10 tons to produce 4 tons of goods, they can continue to be reused to produce 20 tons, which is really a huge profit.
.
You get what you pay for, let the market choose, and you can't blame him for his bad intentions. This is how making money is, make less in the early stage, build up your reputation, and then you can make a lot of money in the later stage.
"Brother Dong, do you still have anyone on board?"
Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "That's enough, no need."
"If necessary, can you give us priority?"
"Don't want to do such an easy job? You still want to go to sea with me."
"The main reason is that going to sea with you is so exciting. I always encounter all kinds of good things, and I also make a lot of money. Everyone is envious of me."
"Don't be envious. High wages come with high risks. The work now is so easy, with no exposure to wind or sun. Be honest. No matter how many people want to do the work you are doing now, they can't."
"That's true. I really don't want to let others do the work at hand."
Ye Yaodong smiled and ignored the two people working, but continued to inspect the fish sauce.
Throughout the whole day, it was rare for him to wander around leisurely.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the village committee after chatting, he ran into a fat man who was humming a song and walking in front of him.
It takes no effort at all to get it.
Seeing an old man sitting at the door basking in the sun and twisting a hemp rope, he happily borrowed one from them, then went up to get the hemp rope and tied it in front of the fat man...
"Who?tmdwho?"
The fat man struggled to look back, but Ye Yaodong tightened the rope and kept hiding behind him.
"I dare to touch your fat boss in broad daylight..."
"Tmd, come out here... you bastard, try to hide and hide from me, you old mother-in-law..."
Ye Yaodong scolded you back, "Old mother of grass and mud! You are stepping on the horse. The fat boss is amazing. When you start shaking, all the brothers are scolding you."
"Suzuki, fuck me, you're going to die. You tied me up for no reason and scared me so much that you thought someone was going to kidnap me, you wicked ghost."
"Is it a green onion? I'm still afraid of being kidnapped."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You suddenly tied me up with a rope. Didn't I get shocked and take the wrong medicine? Damn it."
"Don't you think you're fat again? Tighten your skin."
The fat man was so angry that he took the hemp rope from his hand and whipped him.
Ye Yaodong didn't pay attention for a moment, and he was actually slapped.
"Damn it, are you serious..."
"You have shown your sincerity, so of course I will show my sincerity too, so that you can be so immoral and frighten me."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Ye Yaodong was jumping up and down to hide, and was cursing angrily.
"Don't run..."
"Hey, hey...my hemp rope...you have to give it back to me..."
The two chased each other for a while before stopping and returning the hemp rope to the man on the roadside.
"Hehehe, young people are energetic."
Ye Yaodong put his hand on the fat man's shoulder and gasped, "I'm sure you are a flexible fat man."
The fat man bumped his chest with his elbow, "When did you come back? Did you take a break for the New Year?"
"That's about it. Have you taken a break for the New Year too?"
"How is it possible? The business is just right during the Chinese New Year, and my wife even said she would work until the 29th of the new year."
"Your wife is so hardworking."
"well……"
"I have a profitable business idea, would you like to do it?"
"Go away, stop doing this, I've been tricked by you, and now I won't be able to live a good life for years to come."
I spent a day reading the monthly ticket list today, hahaha. I saw the new monthly ticket list at ten o'clock in the evening. I was so excited that it affected the code. I'm sorry for the late update.
Chapter completed!
