Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  To celebrate Ye Yaodong’s upcoming purchase of a big boat, the brothers drank very happily.

  Lin Xiuqing wanted to remind Ye Yaodong several times, telling him to finish early, go to bed early, and deliver goods at night.

   Seeing that they were very excited, and when it was almost nine o'clock later, all of them were flushed and tongue-tied, so she had no choice but to remind them.

"It's very late, and it's almost over. I might have to work tomorrow, so I'll go back to sleep early. Ah Dong will deliver the goods to the city at six or seven tomorrow, and we have to leave at two or three o'clock. I'll be here today." Bar?"

   "Ah! Yes, Dongzi, the delivery will be made tomorrow, so that's it, that's it, let's do it today."

   "Okay, okay, it's over, it's over, it's all back to my home."

   "Then go home, that's all for today..."

Lin Xiuqing saw them staggering and about to fall, so she went to the next door to call Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye, and asked them to send the three of them to save them from falling on the road. It is also painful to lie on the side of the road and freeze overnight.

  Ye Yaodong also went back to the room by himself, and the sound of snoring came from the room.

  She shook her head, cleaned up the mess on the table, and then picked up the child in the cage and went back to the house.

  Just waiting for her to take off her clothes, she saw Ye Xiaoxi climbed onto Ye Yaodong's body, and kept climbing until she sat on his face and twisted.

She couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and wanted to take the child down, but Ye Yaodong seemed to be short of breath, the snoring stopped, woke up, took the child down, hugged him, and fell asleep again up.

   And the child was pressed by his arm, and kept kicking his legs there, his eyes widened and he screamed, but he couldn't break free.

  Lin Xiuqing smiled softly, and covered them with the quilt first, then folded the clothes and pants for him to wear tomorrow, put the hat and scarf away, and then went to turn off the lights and go to bed.

  In the night, Ye Yaodong really couldn't get up. Lin Xiuqing pushed him several times before he woke up in a daze.

   "Tell you not to drink so much, don't listen, look, I can't get up now, and I have to deliver the goods today, remember?"

   "Huh? Oh!"

  Ye Yaodong sat up, rubbed his aching head, "What time is it?"

   "It's 2:10, Uncle Zhou should be coming soon."

  Lin Xiuqing saw that he was really uncomfortable, so she reached out and rubbed him a few times.

   "Well, it's better to be a wife!"

"if not?"

   "I love you!"

   "Poor mouth, I'm sober."

  In the darkness, Lin Xiuqing's mouth was slightly raised when she couldn't see her fingers.

   "Truth is true when you are awake!"

   "Don't you tell the truth when you're drunk?"

   "Not necessarily, it's usually just pretending to be crazy with the help of alcohol! Because drunk people are cowardly, courageous and confident people don't need to tell the truth when drunk."

   "Are you boasting yourself in disguise?"

  Ye Yaodong smiled, reached out and grabbed her cold little hand, "Okay, you go on sleeping, I'm leaving."

   "I put your clothes on the side for you. The old lady seems to have woken up early. I heard something. Look, if the porridge is cooked, you can eat some porridge before leaving."

"knew."

  He got up sparsely, put on his clothes and pants, and went out with his hat and scarf. Sure enough, the old lady got up so early again.

"The porridge has been left there to cool down. You can eat something before you go. You drank so much wine last night. Eat some porridge in the morning. It will make your mouth feel better and be better for your stomach. Don't think that you are young and take it seriously. Your stomach must be healthy. a little."

  The old lady stood in front of the stove chattering, and brought out the mustard greens and scrambled eggs that were warming in the pot.

"Let me do it!"

   "No, no, go brush your teeth and wash your face. It's been very hot in the pot. Your hands are tender."

  Her hands are covered with calluses, wrinkled, loose and peeling skin, full of signs of time.

  Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders, "Alright then."

  Dried fish has been traded twice, this time is the third time, and it is still very smooth, with one hand for delivery and one hand for money.

  However, on this trip, he also sent one or two and a half bags of oranges, and two and a half bags of grapefruit, which he specially divided.

   "Team Leader Zhao, these 4 bags are for you, Captain Chen. You two should share half of them. Please pass them to him for me."

"What is so polite, what about dried fish? Didn't you just send 20 catties extra? We eat in the cafeteria every day, so we don't need to give it away. We live alone in the dormitory. We didn't open fire and didn't bring any family members. You can take it back or sell it. You don't need to give it to me. .”

  Leader Zhao rejected it without saying a word. If it was given to the army, he would accept it directly. Now that it is given to him personally, let’s forget it.

"No, Team Leader Zhao, this bag contains oranges, this bag contains grapefruits, not dried fish, they are for you to taste, they are all grown by yourself, not for sale." Ye Yaodong hastily I opened the bag and showed him,

  Group leader Zhao stretched his head, "Yo? Really, so polite! Do you still have some kind of fruit?"

   "My father-in-law's family planted it, and I sent two bags here, just for you to try. They are all grown by myself, and they are not worth much. You can take them home to try something new or give them to the soldiers to try."

   "Okay, since I planted it myself, I won't be polite to you anymore."

   "There is another copy belonging to Captain Chen, please pass it on to me."

   "It's easy to say."

  Ye Yaodong saw Team Leader Zhao ordering the little soldiers to carry it, so he smiled and asked Team Leader Zhao where the shipyard in the city was?

   "What's the matter? Are you going to the shipyard to see the ship? You should ask the right person."

   "Just take a look, they're all in the city anyway."

   "I'll write you an address, and you can just ask along the way."

  Although their station is on the edge of a remote village, it is not far from the sea. They also want to conduct water training. Of course they know where the shipyard in the city is.

   It's just a little far away, not in the same area.

  Group leader Zhao wrote him an address directly, and then asked him to drive to the city, just ask for directions while walking.

   After thanking Ye Yaodong, he got into the car and asked Uncle Zhou to help him go.

   Fortunately, he didn't have the task of transporting sand today, so he can run around at will.

  The two asked all the way, and it took more than two hours to find the place.

  Just after shopping around, it was the opposite of the anticipation and curiosity he had originally, and his heart was so cold.

  With the same configuration, the quotation from the shipyard in the city is actually 1,500 yuan more expensive!

  1500 yuan!

  He can add a little more and buy a boat like the one at home.

  However, the ship being built in the city looks more beautiful and more advanced, and I don't know if it has been painted when he saw it.

  And the shipyard in the city can also be equipped with a marine radio station, but this will cost an additional 2,000 yuan! It's personal choice.

  He originally thought that he would have to buy another maritime walkie-talkie at that time. After all, for receiving goods at sea, he had to contact the fresh collection ship and the supply ship.

  Occasionally, I have to communicate with my peers, which side of the pier, which side of the market can have higher fish prices, and where can I go back to the city to dock when I fish at sea.

  In many cases, the goods are usually sold near the shore. After all, the price after berth is definitely more expensive than that of a fresh-collecting ship at sea.

Compared with the purchase price at the wharf, the price of the fresh-collecting boat will be discounted by one-third to half, unless it is far away from the shore, when there is a lot of goods, or the number of days is relatively long, and it must be shipped when it is fresh Otherwise, it is generally more cost-effective to sell on shore.

  After getting to know the details, he turned his head and left. However, this trip was not fruitless. When he went back and passed the county, he directly asked Uncle Zhou to go to the shipyard.

  Anyway, on the way, otherwise, I would have to ride a bicycle the next day, which would be even more laborious.

   It can be solved in one trip, so don’t make a second trip. Who knows if there will be time tomorrow, and whether it will go to sea again.

   Once at the shipyard, ask the marine radio station directly.

Director Wu nodded with a smile and said: "It can be equipped, but it will cost an additional 2,000 yuan. Many people think it is too expensive. They think that they only need to increase the fresh water warehouse and cold storage room, store more fresh water and supplies, and dock in three or four days. It’s enough to sell the goods once and add supplements, there’s no need to spend this money. After all, the fresh harvest ships are cheap, and the supply ship’s supplies and oil products are expensive.”

   "It makes sense, but it is easy to lose contact if you don't have this equipment, unless you don't go very far."

   Equipped with a radio station, not only to contact fresh collection ships and supply ships, but most importantly, in case something happens and needs rescue and help, you can still contact it.

   "How far can the current boats go? None of them go very far. They are all fishing in the offshore area. I heard that sometimes a dozen boats can be seen operating in the same sea area."

   "We do not have enough trawler here. We mainly build trawlers of more than ten meters, and very few of them are more than 20 meters. The factory has only received one order in the past two years. It is the boat I introduced to you before."

  "That ship is still hesitating whether to add it? I suggested that they add a radio station, but they are hesitant, saying that they will reply when the delivery date next year is approaching."

   "Then I also need to equip it, just in case!"

   Of course money is not as important as life!

   "Okay, add 2000 yuan!"

  Ye Yaodong felt a little heartbroken when he heard the price, it’s too expensive!

  The boat is already 11,000, and it will be 13,000 if you add this. No wonder there are many people in a big boat. It is indeed too much for him to bear alone!

  It hurts so much!

   Assets have shrunk severely!

  He desperately wants to make money now, and he has to go into debt directly for this boat.

  Originally, the total cash in the family was only a little over 15,000 yuan. After removing the 5,000 yuan that had to be handed over to the store, there was only 10,000 yuan left. In addition, I could earn about 2,000 yuan by selling dried fish.

ah! Just thinking about it makes my heart ache, I have to go back to before liberation.
