The internet was stolen
It took more than half an hour of walking on the main road to get to the parking spot in the town, and I waited patiently for another hour before a bus took me to Haiqingsha Town.
After going around and around the eighteen bends of the mountain road, it was already noon when we got off the bus at the entrance of the village.
There was smoke from cooking in the village, and standing at the entrance of the village, they could smell the aroma of food wafting from other people's houses.
Ye Yaodong asked his wife to look at things on the roadside. He first carried a sack of lighter vegetables, went back with his two children, and later pushed a cart out to load it.
The two children skipped ahead and did not need Ye Yaodong to guide them. There was no place in the village that they had not run through. Even though they were young, they might be more familiar with the village than he was now.
"Go slower!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw my younger son slipping while going downhill. The older son, who was rare in his friendliness, did not laugh at him, but even held him up, and the two of them continued running hand in hand.
When he got home, the whole family was having dinner, and Mother Ye saw him coming back and welcomed him out.
"Mom, have you cooked more rice? If not, just put in some noodles. I'll go out first. There are still things I haven't brought in from the village entrance."
After saying that, he hurriedly pushed the cart and went out again.
Mother Ye watched him going back and forth. There were bags and baskets on the trolley, and she was surprised. "You go back, are you emptying out the in-laws' house?"
"My mother-in-law forced it on us, saying that we must have eaten all the vegetables when we were building the house, and they would not grow so quickly. She chopped a lot of cauliflower and cabbage, as well as beans, taro, etc., and even asked me to bring the pumpkin.
There are quite a few of them, and I don’t even think about them.”
"My in-laws are so polite." Mother Ye smiled and helped move together.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "There is nothing else in the house, but vegetables are the most abundant. My parents can't sit still. They cook this and that all day long."
"We have indeed finished all the food at home. My in-laws are really considerate. Is this barrel of rapeseed oil? You will take it to your new home later. There are also sour bamboo shoots at home..."
Ye Mu didn't leave everything behind, she took everything they could take to their new home.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you, because two people were lost in the typhoon village a few days ago, and two people were lost in the village next door. Some time ago, Yongshou also fell into the sea and disappeared, all in this sea area. All of a sudden
There are too many people who have not died. The village has decided to fast for a week from the day after tomorrow to pray for blessings. This week we villagers are prohibited from fishing at sea, and then we will invite Mazu out to patrol the sea. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be over tomorrow."
Sure enough, we still have to eat fast and pray, but the time is shortened by one week compared to the previous life.
The couple nodded, indicating that they understood, and it just so happened that what they brought back were vegetarian dishes.
"The day you guys are moving happened to happen, so we can only postpone it. I checked the date again yesterday, and it was set at the 26th. Ah Qing will go to the commune later and call your parents to say goodbye.
Let them run away."
"good."
Mother Ye looked at Ye Yaodong again, "Put your cages in the sea and take them back later. Collect the goods and sell them while they are still available today. Tomorrow afternoon, the village entrance will be blocked to prevent the transportation of seafood."
"Okay, I'll collect it later."
After Ye Yaodong ate a bowl of noodles, he hurriedly walked to the dock. After collecting the goods the day before yesterday, he went to his mother-in-law's house. After a day, he didn't know if there would be more goods in the cage. Next, there was another
I can't let it go even during the week.
At noon, there were not many boats at the pier, and they were all out to sea. He used the boat to look for the buoy of his cage net, so as not to let anyone steal the goods inside.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the village.
Some young people use their family's boat or a friend's boat when they have nothing to do, sneak around on the sea, and then steal some goods from other people's cage nets or Korean nets.
This kind of thing happens all the time. It's a good thing you didn't get caught, but if you were caught, you would be scolded to death.
After Ye Yaodong found his buoy, he pulled a net and said, "Damn, there are so many prawns!"
He speeded up the speed of closing the net and poured the entire net into the bucket. Most of them were prawns, as well as some water grain fish smaller than a palm, small yellow croakers, and a dozen stone crabs. By visual inspection, there should be five or six prawns.
catty.
Each one is half the size of his hand when not unfolded. He is smiling brightly. It is just a cage net. It is really good. I can save a bowl for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival.
He had to continue pulling the net, and he had no time to sort.
The second net is mostly prawns, which are more expensive and bigger than sword shrimps.
There were ten ground cage nets in a row. He pulled out the entire row of ground cages. They were mostly filled with prawns, which weighed nearly 20 kilograms. There were also other fish, and the net was full!
Sure enough, there are a lot of goods these days.
After folding all the ground cages neatly, he was full of confidence and rowed the boat to pull the second row. The result...
"You're just a fool, you're really afraid of what's going to happen, you're a fool, what bastard is going to steal my net?"
There were only a few small fish and one octopus in the whole net. The first net had so much stuff, and the whole row of nets was good. But the second row only had three melons and two dates. It was said that there was no one there.
He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Damn xxxx...
He cursed and continued to pull.
He scolded them for as long as the nets were pulled, and when all the nets were finished, there were only three or four kilograms of small miscellaneous fish. The contrast between the two buckets was obvious, and he was going to be pissed to death.
If this hasn’t been stolen, it must be good!
But no matter how angry he was, everything was stolen and no one was caught, so he could only continue to receive the goods.
When he pulled up the third row, he was so angry that his liver ached because it had been stolen again.
There are four rows of floor cages in total, and three rows are pulled out. Only the first row holds nearly 20 kilograms of prawns, and the other two rows are empty.
"Don't let me catch you. Your whole family won't even know you if I beat you."
No one was caught, so he could only live with his mouth. He was really angry and didn't know if there was any goods in the last row.
While cursing, he moved the boat to the fourth row of ground cages and pulled up the buoy. Regardless of whether there was cargo or not, the cages had to be taken back.
To his surprise, the first net pulled up actually contained two red crabs!
Red crabs! The red crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival are the fattest and full of red crabs.
Fortunately, this net was not stolen.
His face instantly became much prettier, and he took the lead in catching two red crabs. After looking at them, he found that both weighed more than 1.5 pounds, which was very good.
There are also a few swimming crabs, stone crabs, and small yellow croakers inside.
After finishing the row, he harvested 3 red crabs, 2 blue crabs, 6 red crabs, 4 small white crabs, three kilograms of red shrimps, about less than a kilogram of skin shrimps, and
The one I just pulled weighed more than a pound, and the rest were just some small miscellaneous fish and small yellow croakers.
After collecting all the nets neatly, he looked at the contents in the bucket and wanted to curse again. There should be four rows of them, but two rows were stolen, and half of them were lost!
"Dongzi? Are you back from your mother-in-law's house?"
"Why do you have such a dark face? Isn't it a good harvest?"
It was Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao who rowed over here. It was already past three o'clock. They were exhausted from throwing the nets all day long and planned to call it a day and go back early.
"I don't know which bastard had two rows of my floor cage stolen!"
Ah Zheng stared at the words, "Ah? Damn, what kind of short-lived ghost is so shameless?"
"Fortunately, the harvest from the other two rows was okay and not all was stolen."
"Anything big?"
"Three red crabs, two blue crabs, 20 kilograms of prawns, more than a kilogram of prawns, two or three kilograms of red shrimps, three or four kilograms of small yellow croakers, and a few red and white crabs. The harvest was pretty good. Two nets were used to harvest it.
There are more than the previous four nets.”
Xiaoxiao rowed the two boats together, then stretched his head and looked at it, "Okay, if you come here every other day to harvest, you will get more than us working from morning to night every day."
Ah Zheng also said: "Should we also put a cage on the ground? This hand-thrown net is thrown from morning to night. Even if two people take turns, their hands will be sore."
"Okay, you can harvest the net during this period, right? It's just time to use the capital to do it," Ye Yaodong echoed, "How is the harvest today?"
"It's not bad. It's been pretty good in the past few days. I also caught 2 red crabs today and 2 blue crabs. The scattered ones are worth ten yuan."
"Okay, let's go, sell some goods and call it a day and go home. I will start a vegetarian diet the day after tomorrow." He said while rowing the boat.
"Is it fun at my mother-in-law's house? You can stay a few more days and come back after the village has finished eating vegetarian food and praying."
"It's not bad. There are mountains there. I went with him to pick persimmons and heard the cries of game all around. It's a pity that my father-in-law doesn't have a gun, otherwise we can go hunting in the mountains at night."
"Really?" The two's eyes lit up when they heard this, "Actually, there are wild animals in our mountains. Aguang lives in the back mountain and can hear the crowing of pheasants every day. But there are no pheasants and they are difficult to catch. If you can get them,
A gun would be fine."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, "If you can't do it, it doesn't matter. Just go fishing in the sea honestly. I also caught a Chinese sturgeon in my father-in-law's river."
"What?" Xiaoxiao glared, "You actually caught a Chinese sturgeon? I heard there are very few of these things."
Ah Zheng was a little confused, "What is the Chinese sturgeon? What's so strange about the products in the river?"
"Don't you know this? When I was listening to the radio one time, I heard an expert saying that because of the construction of Gezhouba Dam, they could not return to their hometown to lay eggs. In just two or three years, 97% of them were gone.
In a few years, it will probably become extinct."
Xiaoxiao gave him a brief introduction to the Chinese sturgeon, but he didn't know there were many.
"Damn it, Dongzi, are you rich again?"
"How can there be? I am a good citizen, so I released them directly. Then my second brother-in-law notified the Fisheries Bureau, and I helped catch them again. I guess they will be sent back to the Yangtze River! Anyway, it didn't fail. We also caught more than 80 soldiers.
The fish was sold to the Fisheries Bureau, otherwise it would be really difficult to sell this freshwater fish."
"Freshwater fish have an earthy smell and are not tasty at all. No one is collecting them. It's useless to catch so many."
Ye Yaodong once again gave them a popular science about military fish. The seaside people were familiar with marine fish, and freshwater fish could only briefly understand crucian carp, grass carp, loach, and the like.
After hearing this, Ah Zheng said enviously: "You haven't been able to get anywhere yet? Why don't I have this kind of wealth?"
"It's a pity that we have to fast after the fifteenth day, and the dock will not accept goods tomorrow. Otherwise, we can go fishing in the sea tomorrow. We haven't gone for a long time." Xiaoxiao is a little regretful, otherwise we can still get rich with Dongzi.
.
"Pray for blessings first so that you can stay safe. The days ahead will be long. Just wait until next month," Ye Yaodong said nonchalantly.
Recalling what his mother said about the delay in moving, he added: "Oh, by the way, my mother said that the moving day has been postponed to the 26th of the lunar calendar."
"It happens to be two days before Azheng's wedding. We can have dinner for several days in a row. We have housewarming wine, matchmaking wine, wedding wine, long table wine at night, and homecoming wine. Okay, okay~"
"Hey~ I can indeed eat for several days in a row. This day is a good change."
…
The two boats rowed side by side and docked together.
Ye Yaodong put the ground cage net on the boat, first took the goods to Ah Cai, and asked by the way, "Has anyone who doesn't have a net at home come over to sell goods in the past two days?"
Ah Cai said without knowing why: "No! I have fixed fishing boats here to collect goods these days, and no one comes to sell goods. What's wrong?"
"Two rows of my cages were stolen when they were placed in the sea. I was so angry. I don't know who the bastard turtle grandson was who did such an immoral thing."
"Oh, that's normal. Whose ground cage and Korean net have not been stolen, and there is no net at home, how can they dare to sell it? I will definitely take it back and eat it."
"Forget it, bring out a basket. I'll pick out these goods and weigh them."
I was already angry and scolded just now, so now I just asked casually, there is nothing I can do if no one gets the stolen goods.
Ah Cai looked at the two barrels of goods he had poured out and said in surprise: "You have a lot of goods. There are also three red crabs and two blue crabs, which are more than the seven or eight rows of cages that others put. Recently,
There are especially many prawns.”
"If those two rows hadn't been stolen, they might have doubled."
Hearing Ah Zheng's words, Ye Yaodong's heart ached again, "Stop talking, I'll die if you say it again."
Xiaoxiao comforted him: "It's pretty good. At least it's better than what we've been tired of catching in one day. We couldn't catch as much as you in two days."
These words really comforted him. At any rate, they were not enough compared to the previous ones, but more than enough.
Ah Cai put all the sorted goods through the scale, and opened the order in a flash, "Today your goods are 25 yuan and 60 cents. Others only sell them for ten yuan at most. You only have two rows, that's all."
The goods are amazing, most of them are in that basket of prawns, blue crabs and red crabs."
The price instantly cured his depression, and he folded the list and put it away with a smile on his face. He also left about a pound of prawns to replenish his wife's health during the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.
Regardless of whether you are giving birth or not, your body’s nutrition must keep up.
Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng looked at him enviously.
"It's time for us to weigh in."
Ye Yaodong was also waiting aside, and he could ask them to help him get the floor cage later. His own trolley was not rolled out, so it was not good to borrow someone else's every now and then.
Ah Cai also listed the goods they sold clearly and handed them to them, "Your 9 yuan and 8 cents."
"Gap! Or give us a round number, we are so familiar with it, just round it up."
"That won't work. You have to transfer me 20 cents. You already sell a lot of these. By the way, you guys have really transitioned during this period. Are you working so hard?"
"You have to support your family, can you just idle around all the time? Even Dongzi has changed his gender, so we can't make the gap too big."
"Good job, young man."
Without comparison, there would be no gap, and Ye Yaodong was satisfied now.
"Is it done? When it's done, help me move the cage. It's still on the boat."
"So you are waiting here just to make us work as coolies."
Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes, put his arm on Azheng's shoulder and said to him, "You know? After seeing so many floor cages, I knew we must help move them."
"One of you can help me move, and the other can help me borrow a truck."
Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows, "I want to help you move, and I want to help you borrow it, why don't you borrow it yourself? Your own cage!"
"It's not that I've borrowed it too many times. Sorry, let's change it! You can go to any one."
Azheng also said: "You knew you were going out to collect the floor cages, why didn't you push a cart out? Everyone's carts are marked anyway, so no one can steal them."
"I came out in such a hurry that I didn't think about it. Go and borrow one for me."
Azheng looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "Rock, paper, scissors, if you lose, why don't you borrow it?"
Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at him, "Childish!"
Then he turned around and went to a nearby house to borrow a scooter.
Ah Zheng stared at his back with disdain, "Tsk~ It was rock, paper, scissors this morning, whoever throws the first net, what are you pretending to be now?"
"Come and help us move, don't be too long-winded."
Chapter completed!
