Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 132 was stolen

  It took more than half an hour on the main road to reach the parking spot in the town, and waited patiently for another hour before the car went to their Haiqingsha Town.

  Walking around the 18th bend of the mountain road, it was already noon when we got off at the village entrance.

  The smoke from cooking in the village is rising, standing at the entrance of the village, they can smell the aroma of food wafting from other people's houses.

  Ye Yaodong asked his wife to watch things on the side of the road. He first carried a sack of lighter vegetables, and took his two children back first, and later pushed a cart out to load them.

  The two children skipped ahead and walked ahead without Ye Yaodong pointing the way. There was no place in the whole village that they hadn't run to. No matter how young they were, they might be more familiar with the village than he is now.

   "Slow down!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the youngest son slipped while going downhill. The eldest son didn't laugh at him in a friendly way, and even helped him up, and the two continued to run hand in hand.

  When he got home, the whole family was having dinner, and Mother Ye greeted him when he came back.

   "Mother, have you cooked more rice? If not, order some noodles. I'll go out first. There are still things that haven't been brought in from the village entrance."

   After finishing speaking, he hurriedly pushed the cart and went out again. .

  Mother Ye was surprised when she saw him going back and forth. The cart was full of bags and baskets.

"My mother-in-law insisted on giving it to us, saying that our family's vegetables must have been eaten when we built the house, and they would not grow so quickly. I chopped a lot of cauliflower and cabbage, as well as beans, taro, and even pumpkin. There are quite a few of them, it doesn’t matter if you want to or not.”

   "My in-laws are so polite." Mother Ye smiled and helped to move together.

  Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "There is nothing else in the house, so I have the most food, and my parents can't be idle, planting this and that all day long."

   "The food at home has indeed been eaten. My in-laws are really caring. Is this bucket of rapeseed oil? You will take it to your new home later, and there are still sour bamboo shoots at home..."

  Mother Ye didn't leave everything behind, she brought everything they could bring to their new home.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, because a few days ago the typhoon lost two people in the village, and the next village also lost two people. A while ago, Yongshou also fell into the sea and disappeared. They are all in this sea area. There are too many people lost, the village decided to start fasting for a week to pray for blessings from the day after tomorrow, and our villagers are forbidden to go fishing in the sea this week, and then we will invite Mazu out to inspect the sea. It happens to be over after the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow."

   Sure enough, I still have to eat fast and pray for blessings, but the time is shortened by a week compared with the previous life.

   The couple nodded, expressing their understanding, and it happened that what they brought back were all vegetarian dishes.

"You guys just happened to be moving, so we had to postpone it. I checked the date again yesterday, and it was set at 26. Ah Qing will go to the commune and call your parents later. Let them run empty."

"good."

  Mother Ye looked at Ye Yaodong again, "Put your ground cages in the sea, and you will take them back later. Collect the goods, and while they can still be sold today, the entrance of the village will be blocked tomorrow afternoon to prevent seafood from being transported."

   "Okay, I'll collect it later."

After Ye Yaodong ate a bowl of noodles, he hurried to the pier again. After collecting the goods the day before yesterday, he went to his mother-in-law's house. After a day, he didn't know if there would be more goods in the cage. Next, there was a I can't let it go even on Sundays.

  It was noon, and there were not many boats at the pier, and they were all out to sea. He took the boat to find the buoy of his cage net, so as not to be stolen by others.

  This kind of thing is not uncommon in the village.

  Some young people drive their family’s boat or a friend’s boat when they have nothing to do, sneak around the sea, and then steal a few other people’s cage nets or Korean nets.

   This kind of thing is not uncommon. It’s okay if you don’t get caught. If you are caught, you will be scolded to death.

   After Ye Yaodong found his buoy, he pulled a net, "Damn it, there are a lot of prawns!"

He accelerated the speed of collecting the net, and poured the whole net into the bucket, most of which were prawns, and some water grain fish smaller than a palm, small yellow croakers, and a dozen or so stone crabs. Visually, there should be five or six prawns. catty.

  All of them are half the size of his palm when they are not unfolded. He smiles happily. It’s just a ground cage net. It’s really good. You can just save a bowl for tomorrow’s Mid-Autumn Festival.

   He still has to continue to pull the nets, and he has no time to sort them.

  The second net is mostly prawns, which are bigger and more expensive than sword prawns.

   There are ten ground cage nets in a row, and he pulled out the entire row of ground cages, and they were all mostly prawns. It seemed that there were nearly 20 catties of fish, and there were other fish products, which exploded the net!

   Sure enough, there are a lot of goods these days.

  After stacking the ground cages neatly, he was full of confidence, and rowed the boat to pull the second row. As a result...

   "You bastard, I'm really afraid of something. What a bastard, what **** stole my net?"

There are only a few small fish and an octopus in the whole net. The first net has so much goods, and the whole row of nets is not bad. The second row is actually only three melons and two dates. Stealing, killing him would not believe it.

  Dog Day xxxx…

  He continued to pull cursingly.

  He scolded him for as long as he pulled, and when all the rows of nets were drawn, there were only three or four catties of small miscellaneous fish, and the obvious contrast between the two buckets would make him die of anger.

  If this is not stolen, the goods must not be bad!

   But he didn’t feel angry anymore, he was stolen and no one was caught, so he could only continue to receive the goods.

   Waiting to pull the third row, he was so angry that his liver hurt and he was stolen again.

  There are only four rows of ground cages in total, and three rows were pulled. Only the first row pulled nearly 20 catties of prawns, and the other two rows had nothing to offer.

   "Don't be caught by me, your whole family doesn't know whoever gets caught and beats you."

   He didn’t catch anyone, so he could only live his mouth. He was really angry, and he didn’t know if there was any goods in the last row.

   While cursing, he drove the boat to the position of the fourth row of ground cages, pulled up the buoy, and the cages had to be retracted no matter whether there was cargo or not.

   To his surprise, there were two red cream crabs in the first net!

   Red cream crab! During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the red paste crabs are the most plump and full of red paste.

   Fortunately, this net was not stolen.

  His complexion became much better in an instant, and he took the lead in catching two red cream crabs. After looking at them, both of them weighed more than 1.5 catties, which is very good.

   There are also several swimming crabs, stone crabs, and small yellow croakers in it.

After finishing this row, he harvested 3 red cream crabs, 2 blue crabs, 6 red badgers, 4 small white badgers, three catties of red shrimps, about less than a catty of Pipi shrimps, and It was pulled together just now, and there was one more than a catty, and the others were some small miscellaneous fish and small yellow croakers.

  After collecting all the nets neatly, he looked at the goods in the bucket and wanted to scold his mother again. There should be four rows, but two rows were stolen, half of which was lost!

   "Dongzi? Are you back from your mother-in-law's house?"

   "Why are you so dark? Is the harvest not good?"

   It was Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao who rowed over. It was already past three o'clock. After throwing nets for a day, they were all exhausted and planned to call it a day and go back.

   "I don't know which **** stole two rows of my ground cage!"

   Ah Zheng stared at the words, "Huh? Fuck, which short-lived ghost is so shameless."

   "Fortunately, the other two rows of harvests are okay, not all of them were stolen."

   "Anything big?"

"Three red cream crabs, two blue crabs, 20 catties of prawns, more than one catty of shrimp, two or three catties of red shrimp, three or four catties of small yellow croakers, and a few red and white badgers. more than the previous four nets."

  Xiaoxiao rowed the two boats together, then stretched his head to look, "It's ok, you come to collect it the next day, it's more than we work from morning to night every day."

   Ah Zheng also said: "Should we also put a ground cage? This hand-throwing net is thrown from morning to night. Even if two people take turns, their hands will not be sore."

   "It's ok, you should be able to harvest the net during this time, right? Just use the capital to do it", Ye Yaodong echoed, "How is the harvest today?"

   "It's not bad. The past few days have been very good. I caught 2 red crabs today, and 2 blue crabs. The scattered ones are worth ten yuan."

   "Okay, let's go, sell the goods and finish work and go home. I will start a vegetarian diet the day after tomorrow." He said while rowing the boat.

   "Is the mother-in-law's house fun? You can stay for a few more days, and come back after eating vegetarian food and praying in the village."

   "It's okay, there are mountains there. I went to pick persimmons for a while, and I heard the sound of game all around. It's a pity that my father-in-law doesn't have a gun, otherwise I can go hunting in the mountains at night."

"Really?" The eyes of the two of them lit up when they heard the words, "Actually, there are wild pheasants on our mountain. Ah Guang lives in the back mountain and can hear the crowing of pheasants every day. It's just that there are no pheasants, so it's hard to catch them. If you can get them A gun would do."

  Ye Yaodong shook his head, "It doesn't matter if it can't be done, let's go to the sea honestly. I even caught a Chinese sturgeon in the river of my father-in-law's house."

   "What?" Xiao Xiao stared, "You actually caught Chinese sturgeon? It's such a thing, I heard it's very rare."

   Ah Zheng was a little confused, "What is Chinese sturgeon? What's so strange about the stuff in the river?"

"You don't know that, do you? When I listened to the radio once, I heard an expert say that because of the Gezhouba, it can't go back to its hometown to lay eggs. In just two or three years, 97% of it has disappeared. In a few years, it is estimated that it will become extinct."

  Xiaoxiao gave him a brief introduction to the Chinese sturgeon, but he didn't know many of them.

   "Damn it, Dongzi, have you gotten rich again?"

"Why? I'm a good citizen, so I released them immediately. Then my second brother-in-law notified the Fisheries Bureau, and I helped catch them again. I guess they will be sent back to the Yangtze River! At least it didn't fail. We also caught more than 80 soldiers. The fish was sold to the Fisheries Bureau, otherwise this freshwater fish would be really hard to sell."

   "Freshwater fish have an earthy smell and are not tasty at all. No one will collect them. It is useless to catch so many."

  Ye Yaodong gave them a popular science on military fish again. The seaside people are familiar with marine fish, and freshwater fish can only briefly understand crucian carp, grass carp and loach.

   Ah Zheng said enviously after hearing this: "You haven't gone anywhere? How come I don't have this fortune?"

"It's a pity that after the 15th, we have to eat vegetarian food, and the pier will not accept the goods tomorrow, otherwise we can go to the sea tomorrow, and we haven't been there for a long time." Xiao Xiao felt a little regretful, otherwise he would be able to follow Dongzi to get rich .

   "Pray for blessings first, so that you can stay safe. The future will last forever, and next month," Ye Yaodong said indifferently.

  Recalling what his mother said about the delay in moving, he said again: "Oh, by the way, my mother said that the date of moving has been postponed to the twenty-sixth day of the lunar calendar."

   "It happened to be two days before Ah Zheng got married, and he could have dinner for several days in a row, housewarming wine, matchmaking wine, wedding wine, long table wine at night, and homecoming wine, all right~"

   "Hey~ It's true that you can eat for several days in a row. It's good to change this day."

  …

  The two boats rowed side by side and docked together.

  Ye Yaodong put the ground cage net on the boat, first brought the goods to A Cai, and asked by the way, "Is there anyone who didn't put the net at home to sell the goods in the past two days?"

  Ah Cai didn’t know, so he said: “No! I’ve been receiving goods from fishing boats on a regular basis for the past few days, and no one is here to sell goods. What’s wrong?”

   "I put two rows of my cage in the sea and someone stole it. I was so mad. I don't know which **** is the grandson who did such a wicked thing."

   "Oh, it's normal. Whose ground cage and Korean net have not been stolen, and there is no net at home, how dare they sell it? They must take it back and eat it."

   "Forget it, bring out a basket, I will pick these goods and weigh them."

  I was already angry and scolded just now, and now I am just asking casually, there is nothing I can do if no one gets the stolen goods.

A Cai looked at the two buckets of goods he poured out, and said in surprise: "You have a lot of goods, and there are three red cream crabs and two blue crabs, which are more than the seven or eight rows of ground cages. There are a lot of prawns."

   "If those two rows hadn't been stolen, they might have doubled."

  Hearing Ah Zheng's words, Ye Yaodong's heart ached again, "Don't talk about it, if you say it again, I will die of heartache."

  Xiao Xiao comforted: "It's already very good, at least it's more than we can catch in a tiring day. We can't catch you so much in two days."

   These words really comforted him, at any rate, it was more than enough than the top, and more than the bottom.

Ah Cai went through all the sorted goods on the scale, and quickly opened the order, "Today your goods are 25 yuan and 6 cents, and they only sell ten yuan at most. You only have two rows, that's all." Good stuff, it’s amazing, most of it is on that basket of prawns and blue crabs.”

  The price instantly cured his depression. He folded the list with a smile on his face, and put it away. He also left about a catty of prawns. Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival, he can also nourish his wife's body.

   Regardless of whether you are born or not, your body's nutrition must also keep up.

  Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng looked at him enviously.

   "It's time for us to weigh in."

  Ye Yaodong was also waiting on the sidelines, and he could ask them to help with the floor cage later on the way. His own cart was not rolled out, and it was not good to borrow someone else's every three days.

  A Cai listed the goods they sold and handed them over, "Your 9 yuan 80 cents."

   "Gap! Either give us a round number, we are so familiar, just round up."

   "That won't work, you have to transfer me 20 cents, you have already sold a lot of these. By the way, you guys have really changed **** during this period, so hard work?"

   "You are raising your family, can you stay idle all the time? Even Dongzi has changed sex, so we can't make the gap too big."

   "Do it well, young man."

  There is no gap without comparison, and Ye Yaodong is satisfied now.

   "Are you done? When you're done, help me move the ground cage. It's still on the boat."

   "It turns out that you are waiting here because you want us to be coolies."

  Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, put her arms around Ah Zheng's shoulders and said to him, "You didn't know? Seeing so many ground cages, I knew we must help move them."

   "One of you will help me move, and the other will borrow a scooter for me."

  Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "I want to help you move and borrow for you, why don't you borrow it yourself? Your own floor cage!"

   "Isn't it because I have borrowed too many times, I'm sorry, I should change people at least! You can go to one of them."

  Azheng also said: "You know you're going to come out to collect the ground cage, why don't you push a cart out? Anyway, everyone's cart is marked, and no one can steal it."

   "It came out in a hurry, so I didn't think about it. Go and borrow one for me."

   Ah Zheng looked at Xiao Xiao, "Rock paper scissors, if you lose, borrow it?"

  Xiao Xiao squinted at him, "Childish!"

  Then turned around and went to a nearby family to borrow a scooter.

   Ah Zheng stared at his back with disdain, "Cut~ In the morning, rock-paper-scissors will be returned. Who will throw the first net first? What are you pretending at this moment?"

   "Come and help move, don't be wordy."
