Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Ye Yaodong had already taken off only a pair of shorts and was sitting at the table waiting, while pinching his daughter's little cheek.

   "Did you miss Lao Tzu?"

   "Ah rake rake~rake rake~"

"good!"

  The old lady patted him on the shoulder, "Will it be cold? I'll go and close the door. Your mother didn't know how to close the door when she went out. Now the wind blowing over at night will still be cold..."

  Lin Xiuqing smiled and brought the washbasin mixed with water to him, then went to get him a towel and handed it to him.

   "Hurry up and scrub, your body is wet, don't catch a cold, I'll go to the house and get you clothes."

"Um."

  Ye Yaodong twisted a towel first, washed his face, and then began to scrub his body.

   There is still work waiting for him, he made a quick decision, and finished washing his upper body after twisting two or three towels.

  The lower body is also very fast, rubbing the front, the back, the thighs, dipping the feet in the washbasin, and rubbing the feet with a cloth to solve the problem.

  Lin Xiuqing took out the clothes to wash, and he finished washing too.

"So fast?"

  Ye Yaodong glanced at her, but didn't speak.

  Lin Xiuqing smiled, "After washing, put on your clothes first, so as not to catch a cold."

"Um."

  Lin Xiuqing virtuously took the footwashing water for him to the back door and poured it out. When he came back, he asked again: "You haven't said why you came back alone first? You're still soaked."

  Ye Yaodong actually smiled at the moment, "I'll tell you when I get back to the house tonight, I don't have time to go into details right now, give me five dollars, I'm going out for a while."

   "It's so late, what are you going to buy? It costs five yuan more? Do you go after dinner? Why are you in such a hurry?"

  This man is spending money more and more lavishly now, so he can't put too much money in his hand.

  He only costs 20 cents for a pack of cigarettes now, why does he suddenly charge so much for five yuan?

   "I don't have time to eat. I'm going to buy two buckets of paint and get down to business. I'm afraid the store will be closed if I'm late. I'll have to wait until tomorrow."

   "Tomorrow will be tomorrow. Is it necessary to paint and maintain the boat? No wonder you came back from swimming. I asked Dad to sell the goods at the dock first, and I will get them for you."

   Now Lin Xiuqing simply went into the house to get the money.

  Ye Yaodong didn't explain either. He couldn't elaborate now, so he could only lie down at night and tell her slowly by his pillow.

  After taking the money, he got on his bicycle and hurried out. Lin Xiuqing kept calling for him to eat first, but he didn't listen.

  The writing on the boat is black, and it is not easy to cover it with other colors of paint. He thought about buying a bucket of black paint to cover it better, and painting the entire hull with a layer of black.

   Then use other colors to mark. He still has red and white paint left over at home, which can come in handy.

  But the small shops in the village don’t have such a complete range of colors. The most common ones are white, green, red, and blue. These colors can’t cover up the black well, no matter how many layers are painted, there will be black marks.

  He had no choice but to go to the town temporarily. Anyway, the town is still quite lively now, and there are shops there at night. It's not long after dark now, so it shouldn't be too late to sleep.

  The fishing boat was stranded on the beach, and he was relieved. It was dark and no one would go to the beach.

  He pedaled his bicycle quickly. The road to the town had no street lights and was completely dark. He came out in a hurry and didn't bring a flashlight, so he could only move forward by the moonlight.

  But he has been walking this road for decades, and he is very familiar with it, and he can walk with his eyes closed.

  The paint shop in the town was closed, but the shop was also his own home, so he knocked on the door and called for someone.

  When he came out, he had two 5kg buckets of paint in his hands. He hung the two buckets of paint on the back seat of the bicycle one by one, which was just right for balance, but it always hit the rear wheel and made a rattling sound.

  Ye Yaodong could only slow down the speed of going back.

   It was not easy to come back in a big boat. After a long day of exhaustion, he didn’t even bother to eat when he came back, and he was still running around. His chest was already hungry and his stomach was screaming for countless times.

   But these are all trivial matters, the most important thing is going smoothly.

   Came out in the dark all the way, and rode back home in the dark.

   There are not many houses in the village with lights on there now, and now only his house is still brightly lit by the beach.

  Father Ye was sitting at the gate of the courtyard with a hookah in his hands. He was not in the mood to smoke at this time, but just holding it could make people feel more at ease.

  He murmured, "I haven't come back yet, the tide is almost receding, it's been a long time, where can I buy it?"

Mother Ye stood behind him, confused, "What are you father and son playing dumb, it's weird when you two come back at night. The one who was wet came back first, then ran away and disappeared. I haven’t seen it now. Ask me nothing, what are you doing? Is there something shameful that you can’t tell? You’re still hiding it..."

  The truth is out...

   It is true that there are shady things that cannot be discussed.

   "Shhh, why are you talking so much? I told you, I will tell you when I get back tonight, what are you talking about here?"

Fortunately, at this point in time, the neighbors also went back to their houses to sleep. After a long day at sea, the women also went to bed early. They are equivalent to digging for a day and resting for a day to deal with it. Otherwise, the labor force would not be able to keep up. If it is not handled in time, it will only stink.

   "What charades? I don't care about you. If you don't go back, I will go back first."

   "Then you go back after killing the fish, and I will go back later."

  Father Ye waved it twice like a fly, wishing she would leave quickly, buzzing around and talking all the time, he hated it to death, he was anxious to get things done quickly, how could he have time to listen to her chattering.

  Mother Ye ignored him and went back directly.

   Just as she left, Ye Yaodong came back.

  Father Ye saw it from a distance, and immediately went up excitedly, "Why did you come back now, where did you go to buy it? I waited for a long time at the door after eating, and I was not in the mood to smoke hookah."

   "There is no black paint in the village. I rode to the town to buy it while it was still early, and it took a little more time."

   "Why buy black?"

  He whispered: "Because the mark on it is black, other colors are not easy to cover up."

  Father Ye thought it made sense after thinking about it, and nodded, "It's good to buy it back, just as the tide has receded, I'll take it down first, you go to eat first, and come back after eating."

"good."

  Lin Xiuqing kept warming his portion of the meal in the pot, seeing that he didn't come back until now, she couldn't help complaining.

   "It's been so long? I told you all, and you didn't listen when you went out after dinner."

   "Yeah, where's the rice?"

   "Everything will be prepared for you, and the food will be brought to you."

   "Okay, okay, go and do your work, go and accompany the child, I will do it myself."

  Ye Yaodong put her shoulders on her shoulders, pushed her towards the room, and went to serve the food in the pot by himself.

Listening to her talk gave me a headache, he was in a hurry, if it wasn't for the fact that he was already hungry, he was afraid that he would get busy later, and he didn't know what time it would be, otherwise he wouldn't want to eat, it would be a waste of time .

  Usually, she said casually, but at this time he just wanted to eat his meal quickly so that he could do things.

  Lin Xiuqing didn't enter the room either, she walked to the table and asked curiously, "What are you and dad doing?"

   "I'll talk to you when I get back to the house tonight." He said vaguely, picking up the food quickly, wishing he could just pour it in.

   "Eat slowly, I'm so anxious."

"Um."

   "Then keep busy, and talk about it when you get back to the house after you're done."

"Um."

  Seeing that she stopped talking, his ears were also clean.

   After taking a few quick mouthfuls, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran out quickly.

   "Running just after eating will make my stomach hurt..."

  Ye Yaodong didn't have time to worry about what was said behind him, and ran fast towards the beach.

  The tide has already ebbed, and after running close, you can see a fishing boat stranded on the beach.

  Father Ye was walking up and down the boat, touching here and there to see.

   "Come here? I forgot to ask you to bring a **** and a shovel. By the way, shovel all the barnacle shells under the boat, and paint one piece."

   "Huh? I didn't say it earlier, they all ran out."

   "I thought you'd know."

   "You have forgotten it yourself, how could I think of it?"

  Both father and son were too excited, their hearts were always hanging on that boat, and no one thought about it for a while.

  Here they came, and I remembered it when I saw them. They didn’t bring any tools. They either rushed over with paint, or ran away in a hurry with empty hands.

   "Then go back and get it quickly, and bring a few baskets to load it, and just push the cart over here, and you can pull it back by the way."

"Fine."

   It's okay for young people to walk around.

  Ye Yaodong went back again, and brought all the things and tools that could be used with a cart, and by the way, he also brought the remaining red and white paint at home.

  He had a hunch that he would have to fight all night!

  The father and son took a shovel and a hoe, and chatted while scraping barnacle spats on the hull.

   "Dongzi, if no one finds out about this, we will really make a lot of money."

   "Luzhou Island is far away from us, and it is not so easy for people to inquire about it."

  The news is limited these days, and what is said is basically passed on by word of mouth. It is not that simple to inquire about the missing ship, not to mention that Luzhou Island is notorious, and there are not many people on the island.

  In fact, this island is not small, and there are many villages on it. Some villages are the original residents, but they have been affected by the newcomers, and they have also been affected, and the folk customs will be more sturdy.

"hope so."

"Let's clean up the boat and paint it again, so that his ancestors won't be able to recognize him when they come. Later, we also paint the cabin white and make it a little brighter. Who dares to say that our boat is theirs?" of?"

   "Well, after the scraping is clean, first apply a coat of paint to wipe out the marks, and ask a few people to help move it to the top to stand up in the morning, otherwise there is no way to paint it when the tide is high."

   "Shovel first, the bottom of the boat is densely packed, I don't know how long it took to clean it up, it's hard work, luckily I just had dinner..."
