Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Father Ye put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, We are going to drive to the safe haven now.

This boat has just been repaired. It is a treasure of their family, and it is not easy to lose.

Although according to past experience, it has just entered July and there will not be too many typhoons, they must be cautious and they cannot afford to take this risk.

Dad, I'll go with you!

Want to be lazy and not work? Father Ye glanced sideways at him.

Where, how could it be? Didn't you notice that I've been working hard these days? The safe haven should not be far away. Can you take me there to see things and teach me how to sail on the way?

The safe haven is right in the sea near their town. It's really close. It wouldn't be a bad idea to take him there to have a look. Father Ye thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Ye Yaodong followed Ye's father to sail the boat, and the others went to work on the homestead as usual. There was no impact on the land at all, the sun was still high in the sky, and there was no wind.

It wasn't until he got on the boat that he felt that the typhoon was really coming. The waves on the sea were rolling, rolling up layers of spray.

There are many small wooden boats just a few meters long floating on the sea, which are reminiscent of the ancient flat boats.

The boatman was working hard to row the oar, probably going to a safe harbor. Ye Yaodong was worried about the boatman, fearing that a wave would come in and capsize the boat. Fortunately, his boat was relatively big. , and it is not a manual oar, but an engine and other drive systems are added.

In this era, this kind of small wooden boats are still very common. They will be gradually eliminated in a few years. The boats used in parks in future generations will also be much more advanced than this.

Dad, the ship has to leave for a safe harbor anyway, so let's cast a net. Don't waste it. We can catch some small fish and shrimps, which can also be used as food.

Um.

In order not to waste the opportunity, Father Ye taught him how to sail the boat, how to set the net, and even let him try it out...

He pretended to listen and follow, but he couldn't help but said: Dad, Aguang taught me a few days ago!

Then what you're saying is that after being taught once, you'll know it and you don't need to learn anymore, right?

Uh... no, you are more experienced, you say, you go on...

Father Ye didn't set up the net until the boat was almost close to the shelter.

Huh? There's a lot of goods! I saw a big blue crab!

After pouring out all the goods, Ye Yaodong first picked out the shrimps and crabs, and then sorted them, Yellow eagle, black eagle, spring fish, water grain fish, small pomfret, conger eel, small squid, small tube... quite fat Yes, there are seeds in my belly...Dad, it only took a while, this net is quite good!

Well, maybe it was a typhoon, and all these sea goods were swept in by the waves.

This net is not in vain.

After putting everything away, the ship sailed into the sheltered harbor.

A sheltered port is a port without loading and unloading equipment, its sole purpose is to shelter ships from strong winds and waves during storms.

There are three fishing boat berths in their town: Yujing, Yangtou, and Hengshan. Hengshan is the narrowest, about 3 kilometers long from the anchorage to the estuary, and there is a standard seawall on the south bank to rely on. When a typhoon strikes, At this time, ships docked in the harbor are relatively safe.

In the long and narrow shelter with a width of only more than a hundred meters, as far as Ye Yaodong could see, ships of various sizes were lined up close together.

Looking around, except for the power supply windmills on some small fishing boats that are always spinning wildly, the rest of the fishing boats have taken measures to fasten them and are motionless.

After Ye's father docked the boat, he also made fastening measures, and then asked him to collect the goods and go ashore together to go home.

Ye Yaodong was walking on the gravel road carrying a bucket of fish. He looked at a bus passing by. He craned his neck to look at it. He couldn't help but frown and said, Dad, can't we just take a bus? It's a long bus ride. Come on, we'll be home in less than ten minutes, it's a long walk.

What kind of car are you taking? Your legs are precious. It's just a few steps. You can get home in an hour.

An hour later, he sighed, people's legs can really walk now.

For young people in the future, those legs are really valuable. If you can walk in the village for five minutes, you have to ride an electric bike.

Ye Yaodong's legs were almost weak as he walked behind Father Ye before he reached home.

Father Ye picked out all the good products that could be sold for some money and put them in buckets separately. Go and call your mother back to kill the fish and help with the work. I will take these and sell them.

Can't you just let him sit down and take a breather?

The old lady said from the side, What's the rush? Let's take a drink of water and rest for a while. I just made a bucket of tea and want to cool it down. I'll let Dongzi carry it over later.

Father Ye glanced at them, didn't say much, just picked up the bucket and went out first.

The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but in the afternoon dark clouds passed by and became overcast. But in the evening, the sun set again, and after the sun went down, there was still a sky full of sunset. The weather on typhoon days is so unpredictable.

It takes several days from the formation of a typhoon to its landfall, and coastal cities are affected to varying degrees depending on its trajectory.

It was cloudy and sunny for two days. It was not until the third day that the clouds gathered and it began to rain heavily. Work on the house was also stopped and had to wait until the typhoon passed before construction could start.

After breakfast, Ye Yaodong was bored and squatted on the porch. Looking at the erratic weather, it was still raining when he just had breakfast, but now the sun is shining again?

The children at home couldn't stand still. As soon as it stopped raining, they all rushed out to tread water. He scolded them a few times but couldn't stop them, and he didn't bother to care. Anyway, it would be fine if they got wet and they were beaten together.

Ah Qing, it's no longer raining now. I'll take you to the beach for a walk. Do you want to go? He shouted to Lin Xiuqing who was weaving a net in the room.

Why go to the beach during a typhoon? You don't have to be swept away by the waves.

The tide is going out, it's okay, the sun is out now, let's go...

I'm busy……

You can weave fishing nets at any time. Let's go for a walk and watch the waves. He said while pulling her up.

There were so many people in the room, and it didn't look good to be chatting with each other. Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to get up along with him and complain a few words about delaying her work...

As soon as I came out of the house, I saw a group of children playing in the water. I immediately became furious and said, Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, these bastards are playing in the water and they are all wet.

Two figures suddenly rushed out of the room, and soon the sounds of children wailing could be heard.

After Lin Xiuqing finished spanking the child and changed her clothes, she was pulled to the beach by Ye Yaodong.

She complained as she walked: It's a typhoon and it's going to rain again soon. Why are you dragging me out? When can't we go to the beach? Everyone is hiding at home, but you still have to go out...

Stop being verbose, let me take you for a spin to see if you can pick up anything?

What are you picking up? How did you know there was something to pick up?

Just go and take a look and you'll find out.

I didn't bring a bucket...

I have a sack in my pocket!
