There were only eight or nine of their large ships sailing at high speed, half as fast as a group of fleets sailing.
They had walked this navigation route several times and were familiar with it. In addition, Ye Yaodong's 44-meter fishing boat took the lead, so any reefs had been detected in advance and could be avoided.
Several boats are all following behind the Yuanyang 1 boat, and there is no need to identify the direction, as long as they are responsible for following closely and not falling behind.
A group of fishing boats sailed from night to day, and from day to night without stopping.
It was originally expected to last for two days and arrive on the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. In fact, we arrived earlier, at 2 a.m. on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
In the past, if I spent a night in Wenzhou, it would be dusk on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year when I arrived.
It was midnight when they docked, and the whole village was asleep. No one knew they were back, and they all thought they would get home after dawn.
It was Ye Yaodong who blew the whistle, a sharp sound sounded, and some houses on the shore lit up their lights one after another.
The village was also lit up with scattered lights.
The sound of the whistle is far away and can be heard by the whole village. What's more, it's the middle of the night, and the slightest movement can be amplified.
After the fishing boat was moored, most of the village lights were on, and people from the houses near the shore put on their coats and came out.
In the middle of the night, Ye Yaodong didn't unload the goods. After a boat with big red flowers tied on it came to pick him up, he let everyone go ashore one after another.
None of their boats came back. There used to be only small wooden boats in the village. This boat was still tied with big red flowers. I guess it was just delivered. Someone must have delivered the boat they ordered at the beginning of the year.
There were three to four hundred of them, and one boat had to make several trips.
After everyone got ashore, the shore was already occupied by villagers who had gotten up in the middle of the night.
Everyone was so excited to find their relatives that they couldn't stop talking.
Ye Yaodong and his father were the last to come ashore.
As soon as I landed, I was surrounded by beaming family members, including Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang.
"I didn't expect to come back so early..."
"Dad, you are back." Ye Chengyang said happily.
Ye Chenghu was also in high spirits, "Dad, we got up immediately to pick you up when we heard the whistle."
Ye Yaodong touched one with his left hand and one with his right hand.
The fragrance is far away and the smell is close. Now I feel that the two sons are a little cute.
"Why are you getting up in the middle of the night? It's cold and your nose is runny."
"Dad, we were worried about you, so we got up immediately when we heard the sound." Ye Chenghu said in a rare and sensible manner.
Ye Yaodong patted his head and said, "Go home first. It's windy on the pier. Don't catch a cold."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "Let's go back quickly. Your wife is still halfway there. Use a flashlight to stop falling."
"Why did she come out so late at night?"
"I asked her not to come out and sit at home and wait, but she insisted and asked us to come and pick her up first while she walked slowly behind."
"Let's go home."
The crowds on the shore had already moved towards the village one after another. When they landed now, it was already quite empty.
"Dad, are you okay? During the earthquake, we were all scared to death. The tables were shaking and everyone ran out of the classroom..."
"Yes, yes, everyone is standing on the playground. Fortunately, Dad, you didn't come back..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "It's rare that you can care about me for the first time. It's a pity that I didn't buy you a gift this time."
"We don't want any gifts."
"Yeah, it would be nice if you came back. We have a lot of toys that no one else has."
Ye Yaodong was always pleased.
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "These two are quite worried about you. They were not there when I answered the phone two days ago. They went to the beach. They kept asking after I came back."
"It shows that I didn't raise it in vain."
"In this earthquake, more than a dozen boats in the village were destroyed. Most of them were old and worn-out, and they dispersed as soon as the waves hit them. Many boats in the surrounding area were also destroyed, but people were still okay because of the impact of the tsunami.
It was at night, and the intensity was not very strong. But the fishing boats that came offshore in the middle of the night suffered a lot, and corpses were recovered from the town in the past two days."
"I must have heard that there was an earthquake at sea, and then I was afraid and hurried to the shore. Who knew there would be a tsunami, and I fell into a trap. In fact, I should have gone to the deep sea."
"Yes, everyone said so."
"As long as everything is fine in the village."
Lin Xiuqing asked again: "You don't have any luggage to bring back this time, do you? You will only stay for a few days and then leave again. Can you take off the quilt and dry it in the sun tomorrow?"
"There are still a few ships of cargo. It is difficult to unload in the middle of the night. We will wait until tomorrow to unload. The workers have been assigned. You also have to prepare for weighing the goods tomorrow morning. The leftover goods sold above will be dried into dried fish.
Yes, everyone has brought it back. We will weigh it tomorrow and add some stock to our family."
"Okay, then I'll get up early tomorrow to prepare."
"What about the fish cannery?"
"It's very good. It's slowly getting on track. Now the shipments are slowly increasing. At first, I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to sell it. The warehouse was full, but I couldn't sell much."
"It was like this in the beginning, and it will be good as soon as sales open up."
Ye Yaodong was thinking that he might make some phone calls to the overseas Chinese in his family tomorrow.
The bagged fish sauce from the workshop is steadily transported to the provincial capital, and the goods are delivered by ship at a fixed time every month.
Communications are currently underdeveloped. It is normal to make a phone call every month or two. Generally speaking, it will not change easily unless there are special circumstances.
And their current shipping cargo is all outsourced to Lin Ji. This guy has actually come ashore in the past year and started to reverse the shipping transportation in the surrounding area.
He was already doing reselling work, and now he is pretty good at shipping goods back and forth between the two places. Occasionally he goes to the city to ask questions, and he can hear a few words. He has already set up an office.
Moreover, the fish sauce in the city is not only delivered to overseas Chinese, Linjishang also collects a batch regularly, and sets up a wholesale point in the provincial capital, which sells not only fish sauce, but also everything else.
Anyway, he has his own cargo ship, so he can collect some local goods wherever he goes and resell them back and forth.
It's the same as before, but it's not transported to the high seas, so it's not considered smuggling, and it can be considered a serious businessman.
"Now I stay in the workshop in the morning, ride to the factory with Ajiang at noon, and come back from get off work together in the evening, and I will patrol the workshop again."
"You just have to look at the arrangements. You just have to look around and inspect the place. Just leave the work to the workers. People are invited to do the work."
"Um."
"Dongzi...Dongzi..."
The old lady stood on the roadside with a cane, looking at the people walking into the village, stretching her neck and shouting, her voice being drowned in everyone's conversation.
They didn't hear it until they got closer.
Ye Yaodong walked a few steps forward to support her, and said helplessly: "Why are you running out at night? What are you causing trouble? Just wait at home."
The old lady smiled and touched his arm back and forth, "I'm impatient to wait, so why not come out and have a look? It's strong again and a lot darker..."
"Let's go home. You two support Mrs.
"Okay, Dad."
"No, I have crutches. I'll walk slowly and let them go back first. It's cold in the middle of the night and my nose is runny."
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything. The two sons glanced at him and walked to the old lady honestly.
The old lady babbled as she walked, "It's okay if nothing happens when we go out, but it scares us to death if anything happens."
"Tomorrow you also have to go to Guanyin Temple to worship. You can't just worship Mazu. You have to worship all the gods."
Ye Yaodong responded vaguely, then turned to talk to Lin Xiuqing again.
They all asked about family matters in the past two months, and we also talked on the phone, but nothing was explained clearly on the phone in person, and sometimes she was not there when I called back, so the old lady answered.
They accommodated the old lady and slowed down their pace, walking and talking as they entered the house.
Next door, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua landed earlier than them and arrived home earlier than them.
At this time, the surrounding lights were brightly lit, and every household was happy. Even in the middle of the night, children got up and stayed awake, running around all over the house.
"Are you hungry? I'll cook you some midnight snack."
"Just keep it simple. Is the little one still sleeping?"
"Yes, she never wakes up from a thunderbolt. Even though there is so much noise around her, she still sleeps well."
Ye Yaodong nodded, put the sack at Lin Xiuqing's feet, took off his clothes and walked into the house. He also said to the others: "You should all go back to the house and sleep. Chenghu and Yangyang have to get up early for school tomorrow."
"I know, we'll go upstairs in a minute."
The two brothers were immersed in the joy of their father's return, and they couldn't bear to sleep. What's more, the neighbors were also making noisy noises, all of which were the sounds of children cheering.
Ye Yaodong did not bring any gifts this time. Others took advantage of the two days when they didn't come back to shop around to buy gifts, so he stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
They usually bring gifts when they go out and buy enough. What don't they have? They only have more than others, not less.
If you take out anything at random, it will be the envy of the children in the whole village.
When the two brothers saw the sack he had put down, they wanted to grab it, but they didn't dare to move. They could only wander around and keep looking into the sack.
Lin Xiuqing prepared what she wanted to cook, and asked the two brothers to go to the field to pull onions, break off two cabbage leaves, and then separated them.
The old lady also naturally helped to light the fire before going to the stove.
"I didn't say anything about what was in this sack, I just put it here..." Lin Xiuqing muttered and pulled the rope tied to the sack.
The old lady whispered: "Is it money? He always likes to put money in sacks instead of in lock boxes."
Lin Xiuqing untied it and took a look. She was mentally prepared, but at first glance it was all straw.
She took out the straw and said with a smile: "It was quite discreet enough to hide it, and it was covered with straw."
"Just use it to start a fire for me..."
Ye Yaodong went into the house with a flashlight and took a look. The little piggy was sleeping on its back. The quilt had been kicked off and its belly was exposed. He smiled knowingly and quickly covered her with the quilt.
When he went out, Lin Xiuqing was already cooking noodles.
"Why do you have so much straw in there? It took you a long time to clean it out."
"Pretend a little more to deceive others."
Ye Yaodong walked over and shook the sack. There were still fragments of straw in it. He grabbed a handful and saw the banknotes underneath.
"This trip made a total net profit of about 350,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan was deposited in the bank, I spent 50,000 yuan on the land purchase, and I still have about 100,000 yuan in cash."
"I exchanged 50,000 yuan for new 50-yuan notes, but they don't seem to be that much."
"A new 50 yuan note? Where is it? Show me?" Lin Xiuqing quickly put down the spatula and wiped her hands on her apron.
"I have never seen what a 50-yuan bill looks like. Just from what you said, I have never seen it. Is this money really useful?"
The old lady was also curious and stretched her head to look at it, "Is this real money? Can you spend it? Does anyone want it?"
"Are you stupid? No one wants the banknotes? They may be a little rare in the market just after they are circulated, but they may become more common after the Chinese New Year."
No one spends big money regardless of the year or festival. Every day, every cent and cent is spent.
Things are different during the Chinese New Year, and families who have the means are willing to spend a lot of money to add big items to their homes.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looks pretty good."
"Fortunately, you showed it to me. It looks colorful and colorful. If you don't know, you might think it's a child's toy. If you don't recognize it, I might just give it to the child to play with."
The old lady smiled and touched it here and there, "This bill is getting bigger and bigger."
"Not only are the big bills, but the denominations are also getting bigger and bigger. This shows that money is depreciating and small amounts are not worth spending, so the denominations of banknotes are getting bigger and bigger."
Lin Xiuqing said angrily: "You want to talk about your theory of banknote devaluation again, and what do you want to use it for, right?"
"Not yet. Isn't it because I am afraid that you will feel uneasy and that I will use my money to mess around with you, so you deliberately deposit 200,000 in the bank?"
"You're worried that I won't worry about you, and you're interested in the interest rate on the deposit."
"It's very good. It will double in five years. If we rent the house we built above for five years, it will almost double."
"The money I told you is so easy to make."
"Isn't it hard to make money? Do you think it's hard for me to make money these past few years?"
Lin Xiuqing stopped talking and continued to cook the noodles silently, lifting the lid of the pot, adding seasonings, and then taking it out of the pot.
"Eat first, I'll collect the money first."
"Um."
When Ye Yaodong sat down, he touched his pocket and remembered the Buddhist beads in his pocket. He took them out and put them on the table for the old lady.
"I picked this up. You can string it together again tomorrow as you see fit."
"Okay, I'll calculate how many pills there are, and I'll fill them in for you tomorrow."
After blocking the old lady's verbose mouth, he quickly ate a late-night snack with peace of mind and hurried into the house.
"Why is this kid running so fast? Why are you so anxious?"
The error-free version is being read! The first novel to be published. Read it.
Lin Xiuqing just put the money and bills away, locked the drawer, "Would you like to get a basin of water for you to wash your face and feet? Don't take a shower at night, wait until tomorrow day."
"OK."
She stood up again and continued to go out to fetch water.
As soon as Ye Yaodong came back, she had no time to spare. She had to walk around him first, wait for him and lie down before she went out and closed the doors and windows.
Before she even entered the house, she heard snoring.
She shook her head and went into the room to lie down and sleep.
On the second day, the couple was woken up by Ye Xiaoxi.
When Ye Xiaoxi woke up early in the morning, he sat up and rubbed his eyes in confusion, only to find that there was someone else on the bed.
Her eyes widened, she crawled over and pulled off the quilt covering his head.
"Dad, it's you, Dad, are you back? Dad..."
She was so happy that she immediately climbed on top of him and sat on him, calling her daddy all the time. She was so excited and surprised.
Being pressed down by the heavy object, Ye Yaodong let out a muffled cry. Fortunately, he was lying on his side. If he were lying flat, he was not sure where he would be crushed.
"Dad, when did you come back? Why didn't I know?"
"Dad, you are so ugly. Get up and I will shave you..."
The little buttocks sitting on him kept twisting and tugging at his quilt. Ye Yaodong helplessly opened one eye.
"Go down, don't make any noise, put on your clothes when you wake up, and go out to play."
"Where's my gift."
"I don't have any gifts. I'll give you a dime and you can buy whatever you want."
"Great, dad, I'll shave you."
"No, just go and do whatever you need to do."
"Then I'll cut your hair!"
"Don't make any noise!"
Lin Xiuqing was also woken up and sat up, pulling Ye Xiaoxi over, "Put on your clothes first, you'll catch a cold."
"Oh, mother, when did dad come back? Why didn't I know?"
"You sleep like a pig, what do you know?"
"Did dad bring something delicious or fun?"
"Do you want to eat the fart?"
"For you to eat!"
"Put it under the quilt for your father to eat. It's just right."
Ye Xiaoxi giggled.
Lin Xiuqing put on her clothes and shoes, got out of bed, got dressed, and went out to do some work.
Last night, she said that workers would be unloading the goods early this morning and she would have to weigh the goods.
Ye Yaodong didn't sleep enough, so he pulled the quilt and continued to sleep.
Anyway, as long as his father is here, his father will lead the workers to unload the goods.
But he never expected that his daughter would be so filial. She said she wanted to cut his hair and actually cut his hair.
He literally cried to death.
In his sleep, he felt his hair being pulled. He didn't notice it at first, but when he turned over, his hair was pulled again. This time he woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of scissors above his head, which frightened him so much that he hurriedly hid aside.
"Ye Xiaoxi!"
While shouting, he also snatched away the scissors.
"Ah? Dad, my sister and I will help you cut your hair. My uncle has finished cutting it and it's your turn."
"What!"
Ye Yaodong touched the hair on his head. There were small pieces of hair in one hand, and the hair on the top of his head was also uneven.
He looked again at the place where he had just been lying. There were hairs on the pillow, and his whole body felt bad instantly.
"Ah Qing! Ah Qing!"
Ye Xiaoxi said ignorantly: "Mom is not here, she is not free."
"She is busy and has no time to take care of you, so you will be lawless?"
Ye Yaodong was so angry that he almost left his body. He threw the scissors on the table far away, grabbed Ye Xiaoxi, and hit her hard on the butt several times.
She is also strong-skinned and does not cry.
Pei Yu saw that the situation was not good and quickly ran away.
"Stop, come here."
She was forced to stop and turned around carefully to look at him, "Jiujiu..."
"It's no use calling Uncle Ten, come here."
She moved over silently.
"Give me your hand."
Pei Yu quickly hid his hands behind his back, shook his head, and backed away.
Ye Yaodong got out of bed and grabbed her, and she immediately burst into tears.
No one caught Ye Xiaoxi, so he immediately ran out barefoot.
"Stop for me..."
"No, dad, I'm going to find mom."
He quickly ran to catch her again.
Grab the person and make them stand side by side.
He was shirtless and only wore a pair of boxer briefs, and he was so angry as he watched the small strands of hair on his head keep falling down and sticking to everywhere on his body.
Of the two little ones in front of me, one was crying loudly and the other had tears in his eyes, but they hadn't been beaten yet.
"Whose idea?"
"It's sister..."
"It's my sister..."
"It's sister..."
"It's my sister, it's my sister, it's you, it's you."
Pei Yu pushed Ye Xiaoxi angrily, and Ye Xiaoxi also rushed over to beat her angrily. The two girls were about to fight.
Ye Yaodong pulled it away with one hand, "Ye Xiaoxi, it was you who did it, right?"
"My sister brought me the scissors. She pulled up your hair and cut it for me."
"You have clearly defined the division of labor? Where did you get the scissors?"
"Hers! It's from my sister's house, she gave it to me."
"Both of them are involved, one is the mastermind and the other is an accomplice. Stretch out your hand."
The two of them retracted their hands behind their backs and shook their heads at the same time in a very tacit understanding. It was obvious at a glance that they usually hit the board frequently.
Ye Yaodong was so angry that he could only keep scolding, "Can children hold scissors? What if it pokes somewhere? What if I fall while walking and prick myself?"
"You are desperate and lawless. How dare you use scissors? You guys will peel off a layer of my skin later. You are so brave. You are so brave and you dare to cut my hair!"
"Who else cut it? Did it cut it for my sister-in-law? Didn't he notice? Is he a pig?"
"My dad is a pig, he snores all the time." Pei Yu said in a low voice.
Ye Yaodong's temples jumped, "That idiot!"
"Dad, you snore too..."
"Shut up!"
He never expected that his daughter would give him such a big gift on the first day he returned home.
"Both of you, please stand still."
He patted the small pieces of hair on his body, lowered his head and swept it, and then it fell down.
"Oh my god, you two ancestors are really itchy. Let's see how I deal with you later. You will beat me on the first day you come back."
"don't want……"
"No? Are you scared now? Who told you to cut people's hair?"
"555... We saw my mother cutting Auntai's hair, and my sister asked me to cut it for her."
"My sister also cut it for me."
"Oh my god, my ancestors."
Ye Yaodong looked at the hair that he couldn't clean, so he could only put some clothes on him and carry out the two dead girls one by one with one hand.
"Huimei, Huimei..."
"Ah? What are you doing?"
Ye Huimei heard Ye Yaodong's shout from afar, and hurriedly walked out. She even had a bowl of longevity dough in her hand. She was originally feeding the twins for breakfast.
"Hey? Why does your hair look like a dog's chewing? Who cut it? Cut it to be so virtuous?"
"Who else can cut it? You should go home and see your husband."
"How could it be A Guang? He hasn't gotten up yet from his sleep."
"Made, they are really pigs." Ye Yaodong carried these two dead girls to her.
"These two stinky girls did it. I was still sleeping, and I felt my hair being pulled. One was holding scissors, and the other was pulling my hair, and they were cutting my hair."
Chapter completed!
