The weather was beautiful, and then went out to sea for three consecutive days of fishing. At this time, everyone obviously found that there were fewer squids, and they were gradually decreasing in large quantities day by day.
From six to seven hundred catties in one day, to 500 catties, and then to more than 300 catties. On the third day, only 100 catties were caught because of the rain, and they had to call it a day.
The bean-sized raindrops were falling, Ye Yaodong and Father Ye were wet from head to toe, and they were still opening the nylon bag to cover the goods, so as not to get wet from the rain.
"Dry a few hairs, and the goods are getting less and less every day. It's still raining. It's only two o'clock. There are still a few hours wasted. I don't know how long it will take."
Father Ye is also a bit pity, but fortunately they went into the water in the morning and touched some Jiang Ye, so they can compensate for today's loss.
"Don't wait for the rain to stop, just go back. It's past three o'clock when we go back. Who knows when the rain will stop?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, went directly to the boat, picked up the two brothers-in-law, and called the little Ah Zheng to go back together. It was rainy and the waves were rough, and his vision was blurred. One more boat can also take care of one more.
The two brothers-in-law didn’t feel too regretful. They had almost picked up the goods in the afternoon, and recently the number of squid was obviously decreasing day by day. They went to pry shells on the rocks in the afternoon, or chased the sea along the island.
Today is probably a big wave, I caught a lot of crabs for them, a dozen blue crabs, a lot of fish and clams, and a big perch weighing more than eight catties. They were so happy that they almost couldn't bear it. go back.
Ye Yaodong was also very happy to see the harvest of the two brothers-in-law, "The harvest is good, but it's a pity that we have to go back early. Tomorrow the child will be full moon and take a day off. It also happens to be raining. Let's come back in two days."
Lin Xianghui smiled and said: "After the child's full moon, we will go back. I have troubled you here for so many days, and I still earn money..."
"We're all a family, so there's no need to say such kind words."
"It's not a polite word. The bayberry on the mountain is probably ready to be picked. There is a lot of work at home. Our parents are getting old, so we have to go back and help. I think the flood season for squid is almost over, just after the full moon. Just go back."
"That's fine, then you can figure it out."
"The goods we caught today will not be sold, and we will clean up the table tomorrow. We have worked hard these days."
"Okay, let's go back and talk about it. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Go hide in the small cabin."
On rainy days, the rain will blur the vision and reduce the visibility. Father Ye is worried about handing over the boat to Ye Yaodong, fearing that he will not be able to tell the direction, and fearing that he will hit the rocks. Enter the cabin and take over the work of sailing the boat by yourself.
Xiao Xiao and Ah Zheng are inexperienced, but luckily Father Ye is leading the way in a boat, so they just have to follow along.
Father Ye has a lot of experience after all. Although the rain gradually increased, in the heavy rain, he docked without any surprise.
There are also many small boats on the pier that have docked first. These small boats can't go too far, and they can only fish in the waters around the coast. The harvest will be poor, but this time can be regarded as a good profit.
Today, everyone’s harvest is generally poor, and there are not many goods piled up at the docks, which is much worse than the previous few days. However, the purchase price of squid has not been raised, and the supply is really oversupplied.
There are few goods on rainy days, and there is no need to queue up for selling goods. Except for the goods that Ye Yaodong wants to keep, everything else is weighed.
The villagers who sheltered from the rain at the purchase point were also discussing there. Today’s harvest is not as good as it was some time ago, and the flood season for squid is probably over.
"Ah Dong, how much load did you get today?"
"You have always fished more goods than everyone else, so there should be a lot today, right?"
"Where is it, what I fished was similar to everyone else's. My brother-in-law picked up the extra ones. I only got a little more than a load today, and it was almost for nothing."
Seeing Lin Xianghui and Lin Xiangrong carrying Jiang Yan over, the villagers all stretched their necks to watch.
"I picked up a lot of Jiang Jing again? You are lucky, you have it every day recently."
"It just happened to happen, and it will probably be gone tomorrow."
In fact, he has almost finished digging that piece, so he will look around to see if there is any more.
"Your harvest is not bad. You can make a little bit of goods in the east, and you can make a lot of goods in the west."
"You have to find a way to make ends meet, don't you? There is another mouth in the family. I just went to pay a large fine. I have to find a way to earn more. I can't really fish for three days and spend two days drying the net. One day is one day." Ye Yaodong responded while weighing the goods.
"Did you catch thousands of dollars during this time?"
"It's more than that!" Ah Cai replied when he weighed the goods.
Pink eye disease can be found everywhere. Fortunately, he has nothing to report to others now. As long as his wealth is not exposed and he cries for poverty, even ten thousand yuan households can’t be blamed on him. It’s just that Cai is a bit talkative today.
"By the way, when will the money for selling squid be settled? The boss has a lot of money, so don't run away with the money, Cai."
Old rules, change the topic first!
Ah Cai heard this just after finishing the account, raised his head and scratched his eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have always done business without deception. I can spend a lot of money in my hands throughout the year. As for the shallow skin, do you want to run away?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Usually it's scattered goods. You settle accounts every few days, and the accumulation is not much. A few days ago, the amount of squid was huge. It was several thousand catties a day. The money you spent was several times the usual amount. No, you have to tie a part of it for me today, or I will go to your house to watch at night and won’t leave.”
Originally, I thought that he would talk so much today, so I changed the subject jokingly to him, but he was really worried. This is not his family's product, and other families have accumulated it. Really a lot of money.
In this day and age, it’s hard to find someone who commits a crime and runs away. Without an ID card or a camera, you can just get on the train and go to any city to start your life again.
The villagers also said after hearing the words: "Yes, yes, let's settle part of it first, anyway, the flood season is almost over."
"Yes, yes, my family is also in urgent need of money, and I want to go to your house to tell you to settle the payment first."
"That's right, let's count part of it today, and then calculate the rest after the flood season is over. If the payment for the goods doesn't arrive, it's okay to be two days late by then. Give some today, and everyone's family will also have to leave favors and live."
"What's the hurry, I haven't returned the payment yet." Ah Cai said depressedly, he was also in a hurry to collect the money, who would pay him in advance?
"Then so many days have passed, there will definitely not be all of them, so I will settle part of them first."
"exactly…"
"All right, all right, I'll pay you a little in advance. Why worry, can I really run away?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Anyway, if you put the money in your hands, you have to go through it once and then you have to give it to us. Just settle a little bit for each person first. If you save a lot later, what should you do if you get caught by a thief? There are many people in the village with dirty hands and feet. .”
"Yes, yes, even wood is stolen."
"Yeah, everyone knows that your family has a lot of wealth, so maybe they took advantage of this period of time to get a lot of goods and money, and directly touched your house."
"Whoever dares to touch Lao Tzu's house, I will chop off his hands." He looked at Ye Yaodong again, "The Xu family should be dealt with severely again, broken legs, that idiot, every time I see him, I think he is nausea."
"Then save it for your broken leg. It's agreed, I'll go to your house to settle accounts in the evening, and I'll go back first. I'm so wet and uncomfortable..."
I don’t know when the rain will stop. Anyway, I’m already drenched, and everyone is willing to shower for a while. If you go back early, you can take a hot shower earlier. Now it’s easy to catch a cold when the season changes.
After returning home, Ye Yaodong also calculated in his mind how much the squid had earned during this period, and two thousand yuan was indispensable, because he not only caught squid, but also had a lot of goods in the sea.
After deducting the money for the super-birth fine and the money for using the Internet machine, he estimated that he could still earn a thousand dollars. This period of time can be regarded as not a waste of time. Buying this and that adds to it, and the family has not decreased but increased .
He finished his meal, took a shower and took a nap, and only got up late in the evening to settle accounts.
At this time, the rain was still falling, and there were quite a few people in Ah Cai’s family who came to count the money after hearing the news. He had a large amount, so he took 500 yuan first, while others only took two or three hundred yuan, but it was not bad.
Originally, the villagers were in a bad mood when it rained, but now everyone doesn’t feel that way anymore. Everyone looks happy when they have money.
Ghost knows how much he can earn tomorrow, anyway, he has no time to go, the child is full moon on the second day, and has to accompany Ah Qing to have a vasectomy on the third day.
Fortunately, the flood season is coming to an end. After earning so much money, he doesn’t feel bad if he doesn’t have to go for the next two or three days. He just treats it as a vacation for himself. It’s been a hard time during this period, and his face is almost tanned. Bao Gong, and his **** are completely different colors.
It’s not summer yet, and it will be even more sunny by then, so it’s no wonder that fishermen look old.
Lin Xiuqing also felt distressed. When he came into the house shirtless after taking a shower in the afternoon to pick up his clothes, she saw sunburn on his back, neck, and chest.
Holding a handful of handed-in Great Unity in her hand, she smiled and said, "Go to the pharmacy later to see if there are any ointments, and buy one for you to rub on. Your back and neck are peeling from the sun."
Ye Yaodong said nonchalantly: "What's the matter with my body, but I have to see if there is any whitening facial oil on my face. It's only been a year since I've turned black. In a few years, people might think I'm Where's your father?"
Lin Xiuqing was amused by him, "It's not that exaggerated, at most people will think you are Grandpa Xiaojiu."
"ah?"
