Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Although Ye Yaodong is envious of Ah Guang and the others who can rest for a whole winter, and he also thinks that it will be bad, but he is afraid that if he rests, he will let his lazy cancer come out.

   This has not yet reached his ideal retirement age of 40 years old. The goal has been set, so we still have to work harder.

  Besides, there is not much time to go to sea in winter. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, he can barely continue to work. Only by earning more money can he buy more boats and become a boat owner before he can retire early.

   It’s just that this boat is really hard to find and buy.

   Asked his father to inquire for a month, but there is no place to buy it. The 30-meter-long one rented by the salvage team before was later heard to be bought by several people in partnership.

   But, even if it’s still there, he can’t buy it. It’s too expensive, and the cost is high. If he buys it, he’ll lose all his money. If something happens, he won’t be able to sell it.

  He didn't have that much ambition in the first place, he still wanted to be safe, and took a step forward, so that he couldn't become a big fat man with one bite.

If there is no suitable boat by the end of the year, he may ask two masters to build the boat, or go to the shipyard to order one. This new one can be ordered in a larger size, and the cabin will be larger, so that it is convenient for sleeping, and it can also travel in the deep sea. For a few days, there is no need to stay in the offshore fishing.

These days, personal financial capacity is not strong, shipbuilding technology is limited, and there are few deep-sea ships, and some of them are official salvage teams, and the resources in the deep sea are not comparable to those in the offshore, and the resources in the offshore are quite good now. The deep sea is even worse.

  He does not have such great ambitions to run ocean-going oceans, at least not now. Ocean-going ships are hundreds of thousands of tons in size.

  Going back and forth once every few days will not delay his wife and children from taking care of the house.

  I think very well in my heart, but I still have to take care of the present first.

   On the second day, taking advantage of the wind blowing, he took the old lady to the town to get a pair of reading glasses. He also bought some white thread for sticking nets, bought them back and asked someone to make them.

   Just do it in the past few days, and after two days of wind and waves, I can go to sea and release the net.

  The old lady took her reading glasses, put them on and off all the time, kept letting out a sigh of relief, and then wiped them with a cleaning cloth.

   "Don't wipe it, it's clean enough, put it away first, and save people coming and going so crowded that you drop it on the ground and step on it, and the money will be wasted."

   "Hey, well, I'll wear it after I take it back." The old lady narrowed her eyes with a smile, "When I looked in the mirror just now, I thought it looked pretty good, didn't I?"

   "For sure. Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix. I look so handsome, which shows that I have good genetics. I am your grandson, which shows that you have good foundation."

   "Are you praising yourself, or me? You'll make me happy. I have white hair all over my head, and my face is more wrinkled than the bark of a tree."

  "Beauty is not skin deep, praise me is equal to praise you, praise you is equal to praise me, we call this a win-win situation."

The old lady coaxed him into elation, and felt that he was becoming more and more educated, "I knew that when you were young, you shouldn't have followed you and made you drop out of school. Look at you, you have only been in literacy classes for a few days, and you talk like this If you are educated, if you study for a few more years, you may have graduated from university and worked as an official for several years now."

   "That is to say, why didn't you stop me a little at that time? Sigh~ maybe I don't have to work hard to fish."

The old lady shook her head, "It's not that you don't live up to it. You were only ten years old at the time, just like the devil incarnation. You didn't listen to anyone, and you didn't go to class all day. You went to the mountains and seas with your friends every day and couldn't find anyone. Your mother was so angry that she went directly to refund the tuition fee."

  Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose. He had long forgotten about his childhood, and only remembered the vicissitudes of his middle-aged and old age. After all, it didn't take long, and the old lady's memory was quite good.

   "I don't remember, let's go, I just came to the entrance of the photo studio, let's go in and take two photos, both with glasses and without glasses."

   Speaking of taking pictures, the old lady did not object. Seeing that the old photo studio door was covered with photos, she nodded happily and walked in beside him.

   "Just take a picture. It can be hung on the wall as a portrait. When I'm gone, you can take a look at me occasionally when you burn incense for me."

   "What are you talking about? The purpose of taking pictures is to keep your beautiful moments. After a few years, when you look back, it will be full of memories."

   "Good good good..."

The old lady also knew that what she subconsciously said was a little unlucky, so she quickly said something nice, "Now I'm shooting it, and when I'm 100 years old, I'll take it out and see the difference. Take me to take a picture and keep it as a souvenir.”

  Ye Yaodong finally said with satisfaction: "Yes, at the age of 100, I got a few photos. When the Chinese New Year comes this year, our whole family will take a family photo, neat and tidy."

"good."

The old lady was leaning on crutches, with a bright smile on her face, her face was flushed, and she was in good spirits. Even the owner of the photo studio thought she was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "When the old lady is a hundred years old, you can take her with you again." If you come to take pictures, I won’t charge any money, and I will take a few photos for free.”

   "Really?" The old lady was very happy. She didn't expect to live to be a hundred years old and still come to take pictures for free.

   "Then I have to work hard and work hard, and I will come to you to take pictures when the time comes."

   "Okay, okay."

  Ye Yaodong was also very happy that the boss could be a man, so he couldn't help asking: "Can I invite you to come and take a photo?"

   "Okay, it's a happy event to live to be a hundred years old."

   "No, I mean can I invite you to take a family portrait at the end of the year?"

   "Okay, just need to add some money."

   "It's easy to say, it should be."

  If you add a little money, you don’t have to drag the whole family out to take pictures, which can save you a lot of trouble.

   After taking the photos and making an appointment to come to pick up the photos, Ye Yaodong asked the old lady to wait at the door. He was going to the fishing tackle shop to get the white nylon thread for fishing nets.

   After buying in advance, send it in the store first, so as not to be inconvenient to carry around all the time.

   He carried the two full sacks with a shoulder pole. Although the nylon thread was relatively light, it couldn’t support the large quantity, and a tightly packed sack was heavy.

The old lady watched him coming, and hurriedly gave him the warm pancakes she just bought, "It's almost noon, and I don't know how long I'll be waiting for the bus, so hurry up and eat something to fill your stomach, I specially asked the boss to add it." Sea oyster stuffing is hot and delicious."

   "Why don't you add two cents to him?"

  It's really worth it!

   "Yes, your mother hasn't had time to hunt oysters for more than half a year, and neither has your wife. You haven't eaten for a long time."

  Ye Yaodong smiled and took a bite of her hand, "When I was fishing for jellyfish in Zhejiang Province two months ago, my second sister-in-law dug every day, and we ate them every day."

   "Hey, that's good."

  He felt that the old lady probably wanted to eat it too.

   "It's just that I will be making nets in the next few days. I don't plan to go to sea because of the shortage of goods. Where can I go to a small island to get some shells and dig meat to dry?"

   "It's important to make money. I won't be busy with these things. I will work again when I am free. There is no shortage of food at home."

"Um."

  He answered in his mouth, and he also thought in his heart that there seemed to be not many dry goods in the house. Although he didn't eat it every day, he couldn't hold back the consumption. Occasionally fry a bowl or sprinkle a little on the boiled noodles, and it was almost bottomed out.

   Taking advantage of the fact that autumn and winter are suitable for sun-dried goods, it happens to be a little more whole and come back to eat slowly. The daily taste of seaside people is inseparable from fish and seafood.

  The grandfather and grandson were waiting for the bus on the side of the road, chatting with each other, Ye Yaodong kept asking her if there was anything else she wanted to buy? I happened to buy them together, and it’s rare to come to town for anything.

  The old lady kept shaking her head and waving her hands, saying no.

  He doesn’t force it, if he doesn’t have it, he doesn’t have it. Anyway, he has food and clothing now, and the elderly don’t have much demand for anything else.

   It’s just that I forgot to bring food for the child, and today it’s the weekend, and I’m all at home, so I can’t make a fuss for him when I go back, and I almost beat each of them with a whip.

   Everyone is used to it, as long as he is thinking about whether he brought something back to them as soon as he goes out, he must be beaten up.

  However, he seemed to have little prestige in front of this group of children. By the time he took out the whip, all of them had already scattered like wild animals and ran away.

"Stinky boy, it's good to run fast, otherwise my **** will bloom for me, and it will become less and less big. Why do you have to have a holiday on weekends, give them 28 days a month, and take two days off, that's the day now So comfortable."

   "I think back then, when I was a child, I had to work in the mountains during the day to clear pigweed, create production, and go to class at night. How could they be so comfortable now."

  Lin Xiu gave him a clean look, "Are you sure you have a good labor to create production? Did you go to class in the evening?"

  A thread was hooked on the little finger of her right hand, and the two long iron hairpins in her hands were moving back and forth non-stop. The wool rolled up yesterday afternoon had already been knitted by her this morning to a length of almost seven or eight centimeters.

  She doesn't have to look down, she is very skillful, she only looks down occasionally, or stops to look at the end of the knitting after a row of knitting.

  The busy hands did not affect her chatting at all.

   "Cut~ Anyway, they don't need to help earn work points now, just play, it's so cool."

"It's half a catty, so let's not talk about them. Who should I ask to weave this fishing net? Why don't you go to the next door and ask my sister-in-law if she wants to weave it? Anyway, they are idle, and they weave nets all day long. They don’t want to call someone else?”

   While speaking, she finished knitting another row, and scratched her hair with an iron hairpin, then switched sides and continued.

"also."

  Ye Yaodong also reached out and touched a small section of sweater she knitted, which felt quite soft, "When will you knit me one too?"

   "Don't you already have two? What are you weaving? Don't waste it. You are such a big person, and it won't grow up, and it won't break."

  “Last year, I saw a piece that seemed to have a hole bitten by a mouse.”

   "It has been mended, and you can continue to wear it. You can go and ask your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. If you finish it early, you can go to sea to release the net earlier."

  Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand reluctantly, he wanted money, and his clothes were worn out.
