Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Ye Yaodong slobbered his thumb and index finger twice, and then began to count the cards one by one, counting back and forth twice, and it was 56.

   "That's right, right."

  He put away 56 cards of Great Union and seven yuan change, and the remaining fifty-six cents, he stuffed it to Chen Jianian, "It's a hot day, just buy a popsicle to eat, buy two packs of cigarettes to smoke."

   "Hehe, you're welcome, this made me earn more."

   "It should be, everyone earns money together, and the rest of the goods still count on you to help get the money."

  Chen Jianian happily patted his chest after receiving the money, and made a strong promise, "Sure, you can trust me, of course I have to take care of things for you, and I hope we can come here to earn some money next year."

   "Good good good..."

  Everyone was envious there, and other people who didn't know, now also know that Ye Yaodong sold almost 600 yuan on the first day he just came here.

   "It's still Dongzi who is courageous and can make money."

   "Yeah, who would have thought that traveling around Zhejiang and Fujian to salvage jellyfish could earn such a good income."

  Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "This is called high risk accompanied by high return. In fact, there are risks in everything we do. Although we earn more than others in the sea, we are also more dangerous than others."

  Father Pei smiled and said: "Anyway, we are following you, this trip is the right time."

Ye Yaopeng also said enviously: "Dongzi really got the right batch of jellyfish, so he sent it over, and it doubled five times, and he can continue to fish here. This trip can really earn a lot of money." Bowl full."

   "I told you a long time ago that you are not happy to come with Dongzi, you still feel far away, feel unsafe, and have no idea in your heart. You see, if we came here the day before yesterday, we can still make an extra day..."

   "Okay, okay, keep talking... Isn't it all here? If you don't come, how do you know what's going on here? Didn't I want to be safe?"

  The two brothers started bickering again because of this matter.

  Father Pei smiled to smooth things over, and interrupted them, "We're not too late, isn't it just in time? We also encountered a natural trench today, and now we can make a lot of money again."

Father Ye also stared at his two sons, "Don't be an afterthought, hurry up and get to work, first lift all the goods on the ship to the beach, and they will come to collect the goods later. There is also a net of jellyfish at the stern, which is still waiting for you busy."

   "Let's go, let's go to the ship to lift the goods..."

  With the incentive of money, everyone rushed to the ship to move goods as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

   After a while, the recipient also made a detour.

  They couldn't help complaining when they saw the fierce battle on the shore, "Why are there fights here?"

   "I played a game yesterday afternoon, and I don't know when I can stop."

  Because everyone wanted to weigh the goods, everyone withdrew their attention and didn't say much.

  Because they encountered a trench today, they didn’t have to float around looking for jellyfish in the future, and they harvested more than yesterday.

  Although I don’t know how many catties of jellyfish were dragged, the number after division is half as much as yesterday. The combined jellyfish head and jellyfish skin weighed more than 3,000 catties. He estimated that the one caught in the morning should be 5,000 catties, or about a hundred.

  Although the price has been reduced by 5% compared to yesterday, the quantity has increased anyway, and I can earn a little more than yesterday.

His two older brothers and Father Pei also passed the scale, and the three of them were extremely happy when they got today's receipt, and then took the tractor around the people fighting on the shore, and went to the educated youth spot to collect them. of.

  Father Ye went to the stern slide on the boat to collect the nets and untie the nets.

  Ye Yaodong carried a large amount of money on his body, and it was inconvenient to go into the water, as he would get wet when he entered the water, so he waited on the shore, and when they pulled the jellyfish up, he split it up on the spot.

He lit a cigarette, and glanced at the two groups of people who were still beating to death in the distance. Although he felt that he shouldn't be there to celebrate, he still felt that the fight between the two groups was quite timely. It diverted the attention of the whole village.

  They sell the goods here and split them up. No one in the village has seen them for the time being. Otherwise, the three big boats have sold a large number of jellyfish and dragged a large net, which exceeds the daily catch of the villagers. It is time to attract their attention.

  After all, it’s better to keep a low profile on other people’s territory. They still want to stay for a few more days and make more money, so as not to make people jealous.

  Father Ye also felt that the fight was just right, and urged the others to quickly pull up the jellyfish from the fishing net one by one. He also took the hook, and dragged one by one to the beach.

  Ye Yaodong was holding a knife on the shore to divide the jellyfish dragged up on the spot. He was skilled and fast. When the four of them dragged up in a wave, he could divide one.

  After all the jellyfish were dragged to the shore, he also divided them into 1/4. Compared with his two brothers and Father Pei who were still in a hurry to catch jellyfish one by one, their group was extremely efficient.

   "All the jellyfish have been brought up, there are still some fish and shrimp in the fishing net, and three turtles of different species, big and small, do you plan to release them?"

  Ye Yaodong glanced at the fishing net they were dragging to the shore, "Let it go? A group of sea turtles have not been caught, let alone those few, let them go back into the sea."

"what ever."

"I gonna go see."

  He took a basket and walked towards the fishing net, pouring out all the seafood in it.

  In addition to jellyfish and sea turtles, this net also dragged six to seven catties of shrimp, crab and fish, so the offshore resources would be a little less.

  This amount of goods, if towed by the other two boats, is almost enough for a dozen or so of them to eat two meals, and the cost of food is considered to be saved.

  He took the turtles out of the basket one by one, put them in the water, and let them swim to the sea by themselves.

   "It's not easy for you to grow up to be so big. I also do a good deed today, so it's a good deed every day..."

   Throughout the ages, there have been activities of releasing animals.

  Releasing life is a matter of immeasurable merit in Buddhism. It is not only accumulating merit for oneself, but also accumulating blessings for one's own children.

   Tortoises also mean longevity, and releasing tortoises also means praying for longevity, health, and freedom from disease and disaster for yourself and your loved ones.

   At this moment, Ye Yaodong thought that today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?

   I heard that releasing animals on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is the most effective!

  He couldn't help being interested. He saw a lot of barnacles growing on the back of the sea turtle in his hand. He originally planned to put it directly into the water, but he pressed it down to prevent it from moving.

   "Brother Asheng, go and get me a knife."

  After speaking, he muttered to the turtle again, "God has the virtue of being good at life. You are lucky to meet me. Today is fifteen again. I will let a good man do it to the end and scrape the barnacles on your back."

  He took the knife that Ye Yaosheng handed over, and scraped it from the edge.

   "It's healthier to shave. It will help you shave clean and reduce your weight. You can swim faster and not be crushed to death. Remember to protect me when you return to the sea..."

   "Don't move around, the knife has no eyes, it will be fine soon..."

   "Don't tell me, this process is quite decompressing..."

  Ye Yaosheng looked at his strange behavior, but couldn't complain, who made him the boss.

  He shook his head with a grin, and went back to Father Ye to help divide.

  Ye Yaodong thought while scratching, watching the barnacles on the turtle shell become less and less, until it was completely cleaned up, he also felt instantly refreshed.

   "You're done!" He patted the turtle's head with a knife, "Let's go~"

  After the sea turtle lost control, it started to crawl on the beach with its limbs, but before crawling a few times, the sea turtle suddenly turned around.

  Ye Yaodong was instantly happier.

  In his previous life, he heard people say that when the tortoise was released, the tortoise turned its head back, which meant good fortune, and it was thanking you and thanking you.

   "It's really quite spiritual. It should be that the body feels lighter and more comfortable."

  The turtle turned around for a while, then continued to crawl forward, and then slowly swam into the sea.

  Besides, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaosheng were busy dragging the jellyfish to the beach, but they didn't see him releasing the jellyfish. They didn't notice until after dragging the jellyfish that he had been squatting there for a long time.

   "What are you doing, Dongzi?"

   "Why did you release the turtle? This can be sold for money."

   "Today is the fifteenth day. I heard that releasing animals is very effective. I'll give it a try. I just saw the turtle turn its head back. It really does work."

  Ye Yaodong gave them a popular science about the release of life again.

  Ye Yaohua scratched his head, "Really? It seems that in the past people would often release turtles."

"Um."

   After answering, he returned to their group, looked at his watch, and pondered for a while.

"Father, let's split up on the beach with the big cousin and the second cousin. It should be enough for you to be busy here. Brother Asheng and I will go to sea again, and we can have dinner after dragging a net. We can go to sea in the afternoon. , make another wave of them.”

   "Okay, then you go, be careful, ask your elder brother and second brother to go with them, a few boats can also be taken care of, and what happens to you will have to be weighed depending on how many of you are there."

  Father Ye also saw that the surrounding villages seemed not to be peaceful, and it seemed that fighting with weapons was commonplace. They were foreigners who were not familiar with the place of life, so they had to hug each other to feel safe.

   "Well, I'll go talk to my elder brother and my second brother, and call Uncle Pei by the way."

   Before eating, go out and drag a net and come back, of course they have no objection. If you can earn more money, be more tired, and troublesome, what does it matter?

   It just made Ye Yaodong laugh. His elder brother and second brother even released the two sea turtles they caught.

  Ye Yaopeng said helplessly: "Your second brother thinks what you did is right, and what you said makes sense."

   haha~

  Ye Yaodong didn't expect his second brother to trust him now, which is kind of funny.

  Father Pei also found it funny.

   "The second brother thinks that the money is not bad anyway, and he also wants to do something good and accumulate some virtue."

  Ye Yaohua smiled foolishly.

  Ye Yaodong said again: "Okay, let's go, hurry up and drag the net again."

   "Well, let's go."
