Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 53
Father Ye put down his bowl and chopsticks and responded, "Now we're going to drive to Haven."

This boat has just been repaired, it is their family's treasure, and it is not easy to lose it.

Although judging from past experience, it's only July and there won't be too many typhoons, but they can't afford the risk.

"Father, I'll go with you!"

"Want to be lazy and not work?" Father Ye gave him a sideways look.

"Where, how come? Didn't you see that I have been working hard these days? The safe haven should not be far away. Take me to see and see, and teach me how to sail on the way?"

The safe haven is in the waters of their town, and it's really close. It's okay to take him to have a look. Father Ye thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

Ye Yaodong followed Father Ye to sail the boat, and the others went to work on the homestead as usual, there was no influence on the land, the sun was still high in the sky, and there was no wind.

It wasn't until he got on the boat that he felt that the typhoon was really coming. The waves on the sea were rolling, rolling up layers of waves.

There are still many small wooden boats a few meters long floating on the sea, reminiscent of the ancient flat boats.

The boatman was trying his best to row the boat, probably going to a safe haven, Ye Yaodong was sweating for the boatman when he saw it, he was afraid that a wave would come in and capsize the boat, luckily his boat is relatively big , and it is not a manual scull, but a drive system such as an engine is added.

In this era, such small wooden boats are still very common, and they will gradually be phased out in a few years. The boats in the park in later generations will also be much more advanced than this one.

"Father, the boat is going to the safe haven anyway, let's cast a net, don't waste it, it doesn't matter if you can catch some small fish and shrimps, they can also be used as vegetables."

"Ah."

In order not to waste the opportunity, Father Ye taught him how to sail the boat and how to release the net along the way, and even let him try it...

He pretended to listen and learn, but couldn't help but said: "Father, Ah Guang taught me a few days ago!"

"Then you mean that once someone teaches you, you will know everything, so you don't need to learn it, right?"

"Uh... no, you have more experience, you say, you continue to say..."

Father Ye didn't raise the net until the ship was approaching the safe haven.

"Huh? There are still a lot of goods! I saw a big green crab!"

After pouring out all the goods, Ye Yaodong first picked out all the shrimp and crabs, and then sorted them, "Yellow eagle, black eagle, spring fish, water grain fish, small pomfret, conger eel, small squid, small pipe...It's quite fat Yes, there are seeds in the stomach... Dad, it’s only been a while, and there is quite a lot of goods in this net!"

"Well, it may be a typhoon day, and all these seafood were swept in by the waves."

This net is not in vain.

After everything was put away, the ship sailed into the safe haven.

A safe harbor is a port without loading and unloading equipment, the sole purpose of which is to provide shelter for ships in stormy weather, and to avoid the harbor from heavy winds and waves.

The ports where the boats in their town call are Yujing, Yangtou, and Hengshan. The port of Hengshan is the narrowest and the longest. It is about 3 kilometers long from the anchorage to the mouth of the sea, and there is a standard seawall on the south bank. When the typhoon hits During the period, ships berthing in the port are relatively safe.

In the narrow and long shelter with a width of only more than [-] meters, as far as Ye Yaodong could see, ships of all sizes were lined up next to each other.

Looking around, except for the power supply windmills on some small fishing boats that are always spinning crazily, the rest of the fishing boats have taken fastening measures and are motionless.

After Ye's father docked the boat, he also made fastening measures, and then asked him to collect the goods and go ashore together to go home.

Ye Yaodong was walking on the gravel road with a bucket of fish, watching a bus pass by, stretched his neck to watch, couldn't help frowning and said: "Father, can't we take a car? Come on, you'll be home in less than 10 minutes, it's a long walk."

"Which car do you take? It's only a few steps, and you'll be home in an hour, as long as your legs are precious."

One hour, he sighed, people's legs can really walk now.

For the young people in the future, those legs are really precious, and they have to ride an electric bicycle for a 5-minute walk in the village.

Ye Yaodong's legs were almost weak when he walked behind Father Ye before he got home.

Father Ye picked out all the good ones that could sell for some money, and packed them in buckets alone, "You go and call your mother back to kill the fish, and help with the work by the way, I will sell these."

Can't he just sit down and catch his breath for a while?
The old lady said from the side, "What's the hurry, take a drink and rest for a while, I just made a bucket of tea, and I need to cool it down, and I will let Dongzi carry it later."

Father Ye glanced at them, didn't say much, and went out with the bucket.

The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, and in the afternoon there were dark clouds drifting past, and it became overcast. But in the evening, the sunset appeared again, and after the sun went down, there was still a sunset glow all over the sky. The weather on typhoon days is so capricious.

It will take a few days from the formation of the typhoon to the landfall, and the degree of impact on coastal cities varies according to its trajectory.

It was cloudy for a while, and sunny for a while. It lasted for two days. It was not until the third day that the clouds covered and it rained heavily. The work on the house was also suspended, and the construction could only start after the typhoon passed.

After breakfast, Ye Yaodong was bored and squatted on the porch by the door, looking at the erratic weather, the rain was still crackling when he had breakfast, but now the sun is out again?

The children in the family couldn't stay still, and when they saw that there was no rain, they all rushed out to step on the water. He couldn't stop them with a few words of cursing, and he didn't bother to take care of them.

"Ah Qing, it's not raining again now, I'll take you to the beach, do you want to go?" He yelled at Lin Xiuqing who was weaving a net in the room.

"Why do you go to the beach on a typhoon day? You don't have to be swept away by the waves."

"The tide is ebbing, it's okay, the sun is still out now, let's go..."

"I'm busy……"

"We can weave fishing nets anytime, just walk around and watch the waves." He said while pulling her up.

There are so many people in the room, it's not good to chatter, so Lin Xiuqing had to follow him and get up, complaining a few words, delaying her work or something...

As soon as he came out of the house, he saw a group of children playing in the water, and immediately became furious, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, these bastards are playing on the water, and they are all wet."

Suddenly, two figures rushed out of the room, and after a while, the screaming of children was heard.

After Lin Xiuqing finished beating the child and changed her clothes, Ye Yaodong dragged her to the beach again.

She complained as she walked: "It's a typhoon day, it's going to rain again soon, why are you pulling me out? When can't you go to the beach? Everyone hides at home, you still have to go outside..."

"Stop rambling, I'll take you around to see if there's anything to pick up?"

"What are you picking up? How do you know there is something to pick up?"

"Go and see and you'll know."

"I didn't bring a bucket..."

"I have a sack in my pocket!"
