Chapter 506 Deciding to return before the Mid-Autumn Festival

Father Ye thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense.
"Then we don't want to live in this village today? We'll get two more buckets of well water and put them on the boat later. The flood season feels like it's almost over, so don't let anything happen."
Father Pei agreed, "I think it will work. It's not like we have never lived on a boat before. It will be more peaceful to sleep on the boat."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua looked at each other, "We have no objection."
"Then just go get a few more buckets of water later. You don't have to move your things. Just find an isolated island with a small beach nearby to put your things down. If it rains, we will stay at the guest house and leave some food on the boat.
Just one or two people watching."
"When the goods arrive, they will be taken to the island for processing. Once they are done, we will put them in baskets and send them to the town pier. Let the tractor go to the town pier to receive the goods. This will also save you the trouble of changing locations every three days, which will cause trouble for others and cannot be found.
Get to the place." Ye Yaodong added.
He was the only one on the road, and he spent a lot of money on cigarettes during this period, otherwise who would bother him?
As he is now changing places every three days, shooting one shot to change another point, who is willing to follow him to receive the goods? In addition, he does things beautifully, although people are not happy, but they have short hands, they will also think about it.
They are outsiders and they are friends of someone in the factory, so be tolerant.
Everyone nodded at the same time.
"Then let's do it like this. We don't have to move to the next village. Living on the island is easier. We don't have to keep changing. We can just stop at a random village and get a few buckets of water." Father Ye finished speaking.
I started to pay attention to whether there was anything I could park around.
In the past month, they have been traveling back and forth in this sea area. They are already very familiar with it. They are also familiar with the surrounding villages. They have stayed in villages on the border of Zhejiang Province and Fujian Province.
Ye Yaodong's boat was now considered their lead boat. Ye's father drove it and just randomly chose a nearby village to dock the boat. Other boats also docked, and then a few strong laborers carried buckets and went down to fetch water.
Sister-in-law Ye has no problem staying alone on an isolated island. She is already here anyway, and she will do whatever everyone says. This is also for everyone's safety.
They loaded everything onto the boat in the early morning and rushed to the next village while fishing. At this moment, they decided to go to the isolated island and just went to a nearby village to fetch a few buckets of water.
After putting all the people and things on the isolated island, Brother Ye stayed temporarily to help organize the things. The other three boats continued fishing while there was still half a day.
It's still the same place, that sea, but thanks to them and the sea turtles, the number has been drastically reduced compared to before. It's no longer the crowded and short scene that I saw at the beginning, and there are even floating things on the sea around it.
The number of jellyfish has also decreased a lot.
Everyone understands after reading this that the arrest can only be made for a few more days, and today is also September 22nd.
But they still continue to fish for some. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, and they can still earn a little more.
But when it was time for them to return, suddenly a boat broke into their field of vision, and it accelerated and ran towards them. Then there were two boats behind them, and they also turned in their direction. Three boats.
The front and rear speeds are quite fast.
After seeing it from a distance, they slowed down and gathered the three boats together, for fear of any accidents?
I just didn't expect that when I got closer, I discovered that it was actually an old acquaintance's boat?
"Ah? Comrade Ye Yaodong~" Lu Hongwei shouted excitedly after the boat approached, "It's okay, it's okay..."
The Lu family's boat also discovered that it was Ye Yaodong's boat, and was immediately relieved. It quickly slowed down and turned around in a circle, parallel to them.
Seeing that there were so many boats here, the boat behind them also slowed down. Seeing them chatting happily from a distance, they retreated.
"Fortunately, I met you again. You are really our noble people."
"I didn't expect you were still here. We thought you had gone back to your hometown."
"Did your money get stolen? That's why you didn't leave?"
Everyone in the Lu family said something excitedly, and Ye Yaodong couldn't even answer.
"Yes, when we were leaving, we happened to encounter a thief who climbed onto our boat. After stealing the money, he jumped into the water and ran away. As a result, our work for ten days was in vain and we had to start from scratch."
He lied and didn't write a draft, and then asked, "Why are you being chased again? This time, two boats are chasing you. Are they from the village next to you again?"
"Yes, the war between the two villages has ended, but if you encounter them at sea, you will be bullied. During this period of time, all the boats are fishing for jellyfish in the surrounding waters. If they don't go far, the chance of encountering them is too high.
Riders, we will go farther away in a few days..."
Lu Hongwei said angrily and cursed a few more times.
Then the fourth son of the Lu family continued: "The next day after you left, the news spread throughout the village, saying that you made too much, attracted people's jealousy, and were robbed, so you ran away overnight. That Lu Jingshan, everyone said
He stole more than 2,000 yuan from you, and the next day he was blocked on the roadside and beaten so badly that he was sent home with only one breath left. He is still lying down and unable to get out of bed. Is this true?"
Ye Yaodong was dumbfounded, it turns out there was such an episode.
"I'm not sure if he stole it. Who knows how many waves of thieves there are? Anyway, my money is gone, and we were not on the boat at the time. We just found him there when we were carrying things on the boat, and he was also with his accomplices
He dived and ran away."
"Damn it! He must have stolen it. It's not unfair to be beaten. Fortunately, you walked quickly. In the past few days, there were more and more gossips in the village.
"It is said that all the jellyfish in the sea have been caught by you outsiders, so the quantity you catch is small. They say that what you catch should belong to everyone, and you should not be allowed to live in it anymore. Some people say that you should let them
Give the money to the village and then drive you out..."
"Everyone looks so jealous. It's scary. Fortunately, you ran away fast. If you stay here for another two days, you might not be able to leave. Even if we try to help you, we can't stand up to the whole village."
After Ye Yaodong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, they ran fast, and fortunately they changed places frequently later on.
"We just thought that we would attract the jealousy of others, so we decided to leave at the last minute. But we didn't expect that we were hit by a wave of thieves before we left. Anyway, let's break up the money and eliminate the disaster! There was a group of people chasing us at the time, but luckily we got there first.
The ship’s gone.”
"Well, it's not easy outside. It's just like being on the sea. It's not peaceful anywhere. I don't know when it will be peaceful."
Ye Yaodong also lamented: "It's hard for fishermen. It's not easy. They risk their lives to earn hard-earned money at sea..."
"Who says it's not the case? You can rely on the mountains to eat, and you can rely on the sea to eat the sea. At least you can still have a full stomach now."
"We are going back now. Do you want to go back? I'll give you a ride?"
"Where do you live now?"
"Wandering around, staying here for two days and there for two days. I learned my lesson and don't dare to stay in one place for too long. I plan to go home in a few days."
Father Lu next to him spoke up at this time, chattering a lot.
Lu Hongwei helped translate on the side, "My father said it would be nice to send a small section to keep you away from the village. At this point, the fishing boats are docking one after another to prevent you from being surrounded."
"He also said that according to his experience, the flood season will end in 10 days. Now it has been reduced a lot. If you can go back early, you should go back early. It is not safe to go out."
"Thank you very much. We will go back soon."
There are still good people!
Among the two groups, only Ye Yaodong and Lu Hongwei could communicate a few words in Mandarin, while the others did not understand the language.
After saying a few words, they sailed the boat, took the people to safer waters, and then turned around and left.
Ye Yaodong walked towards Father Ye who was sailing the boat and said, "Dad, let's go back if we work for a few more days. We can earn enough this month. Now there are fewer jellyfish every day. If we don't add jellyfish blood to the two shipments today, it will probably be enough."
It can be sold for just over 100, which is more than half the price, and it will probably be even less in two days."
"Well, okay, let's just call it a day. It's almost over. You can go back to trawling then. Although it won't make as much money as this, at least it will be safer around your own waters."
"Then let's go back two or three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. We'll work for another three days and then go back after one day of rest."
"good."
After getting off the boat, Ye Yaodong also mentioned to others that he would go back about two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone almost cheered with joy.
Father Pei also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was just about to mention to you that I will go back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, just in time to celebrate the festival."
"That's what I think too. I have to go back to celebrate the festival anyway. Anyway, the number will be less and it will take a long time to come out."
Sister-in-law Ye also said happily: "I can finally go back. This golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my own straw nest. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so I have to go back to celebrate the festival."
"We have a day of rest before going back. We just happened to go shopping in the town and buy some specialties for our families to take back."
"Okay, okay..."
Everyone, who was a little tired at first, suddenly became energetic again. They would be going home in three or four days. Everyone was as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. Their movements of dragging jellyfish were also neat, and their whole bodies were full of energy.
Ye Yaodong smiled and kept up his efforts, "When we finish our work, we will go to the restaurant and treat everyone to a good meal. During this period, we will not be able to eat well or sleep well. Thank you for your hard work."
Everyone had smiles on their faces.
"Yes, who doesn't have to work hard to make money?"
"It doesn't matter if you work hard if you have money to make. I'm just afraid that you won't make any money after working hard. Now this is good."
Father Pei also smiled and said: "We will also bring some seafood to the restaurant then. How can people on the beach eat without seafood? Then we will make it more generous and treat everyone well. Let's celebrate the festival in advance together."
Sister-in-law Ye also said: "I will catch some oysters, two bowls of snails and other shells to take with me then..."
"You can also dig more while you're free and take it home when the time comes. Anyway, there's it on the rocks nearby..."
"What's there to take home? There are a lot of these things on the rocks in the sea over there..."
After confirming the time to go back, everyone was very happy. I was very happy every time you said it...
