MTL - Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982-Chapter 32 want to borrow a boat
Chapter 32 Want to borrow a boat
The sun at two or three o'clock in the afternoon is still very hot. Ye Yaodong tried to choose shaded places to walk. Fortunately, Ah Guang's house is located in the back mountain, and his house is surrounded by trees, which is quite cool.
When he passed by, the few of them were still playing cards under the tree at the door, and only Ah Guang was lying on the armchair to enjoy the shade.
"Why are you lying alone and not playing together?"
"You're so unlucky today, why are you still playing? Don't play, save some money, what's wrong with you these two days? Why don't you play anymore?"
"I don't have any money. It's embarrassing to ask my wife for money all day long."
"That's true, but doesn't your family have a boat now? You can go to sea with your father, and you can share some money, so it doesn't count as asking for it from your wife."
He also thought about it, but when he thought of being exhausted and submerged in the middle of the sea, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, his heart beat faster, and he thought about it slowly.
He casually said: "I haven't been out at sea before, am I afraid of seasickness? If I go out and get seasick, I have to send it back to my father. Isn't that asking for punishment? If there is a small boat, I can go to the surrounding isolated islands." Go ahead and try it out."
"It's not easy. My little uncle accidentally broke his hand a few days ago, and he can't sail out recently. I will ask him to borrow a boat tomorrow. Let's buy diesel by ourselves. I will take you out to sea and go around the nearby waters." lock up."
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "You can have this, and by the way, go to the isolated island and explore the sea!"
"Heh~ You seem to be a little keen on Taohai recently!" Ah Guang looked at him with a chuckle.
"Of course, I have been so lucky these two days. Yesterday I caught two blue crabs, and today I actually found a tiger spot and a nest of snow clams. I have tasted the sweetness. I have to strike while the iron is hot."
"That's right. If I were as lucky as you, I would go there every day. It's no better than going to Yujing Wharf to do odd jobs. It only costs more than 1 yuan a day to go to the wharf, not even two yuan."
Yujing Wharf is a large wharf near the sea in Shanhai Town. Large ships are docked at Yujing Wharf. Many people in their village go to Yujing Wharf to do odd jobs to move goods.
Their town is located closer to the Gulf Strait. In addition to fishing boats, there are also many cargo ships. Therefore, there are many Taiwanese goods stores in their town.
In this day and age, their town is more famous and lively than the county seat. Many outsiders only know their town, but not their county.
The few of their friends go out to play every day, and they always go to the town to play, and they don't go to the county town much.
He put his hands in his pockets, put one foot against the tree trunk, and leaned there, "Traveling the sea is just a matter of luck, and it's not possible to go every day. You can ask first to see if you can borrow a boat?"
"Go and ask tomorrow morning. If you say hello, go directly to buy diesel and start the boat. It's so hot now, I don't bother to go, and I still have to drink at night."
"Okay, then let me know if you borrow the boat. It happens to be the beginning of the high tide tomorrow. If there is no wind and no waves tomorrow morning, it's time to go to the isolated island."
"Okay, follow you, and I will see if I can change my luck?"
Ye Yaodong smiled, "Maybe it's more effective if you change your name, when will your father come back?"
"I don't know, I just left for a month, and I'm not sure how many months it will take for him to come back."
Although the "Regulations on the Protection of Aquatic Resources Breeding" promulgated in February 1979 contained regulations on closed fishing periods, the promulgated closed fishing periods for various fish and different custom-made fishing gears did not restrict ships in their waters at all.
There is no daily fishery inspection, so they all go to sea as usual.
It was not until 1995 that the marine summer fishing moratorium system was fully implemented, and they did not mobilize fishing according to regulations.
Their regulations here are the fishing moratorium from May 1st to July 31st every year, and the sea ban on August 1st!
But, there are policies above and countermeasures below. The small boats on their side all go out to sea to fish secretly. Even if they are caught by the fishery administration, they just dump the seafood back into the sea. They can afford the loss. After all, the fishery administration It is not every day to go to sea to patrol.
In this day and age, their waters can still be fished at will, and the big ships will not come back within a few months once they go out to sea.
"Then you can wait until your father comes back."
"Hey, let's be free for another two days. In a few days, I will go to Yujing Wharf to find some work. If I don't work, I will have no money. You are lucky. I have a hardworking wife. I will still marry you." Not my wife."
"If you have money, are you afraid you won't be able to marry a wife? Gamble less and work harder to earn money. If you have a wife, you can't rely on your wife to support you for a lifetime. How useless."
Ah Guang put his hands behind his head and looked at him with a chuckle, "How do you feel that you have been diligent these two days?"
"Seeing that my wife can't earn a dollar a day, my conscience has discovered it, and my family will be separated after the house is built, and I have to start supporting the family. In the past, I leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but I don't have this kind of treatment in the future. "
"That's right. The family is separated. If you don't work harder, life will not be so easy. Do you want to go to the dock together to find work?"
I don’t know where he grabbed the straw and bit it in his mouth, “I’m going to scare my family, they’re going to ask Taoist priests to take me in.”
This is the truth!
"That's right, we have more or less odd jobs, but you have always been the 'third young master of the Ye family'!"
"Stop laughing at me, if you have any cigarettes, give me one, I haven't smoked for two days, my mouth is itchy!"
"Have you gotten to this point? Didn't you sell it for more than ten yuan in the past two days?"
"I'll hand it over to my wife, I'm a good man!"
Ah Guang rolled his eyes, who doesn't know who!
Ye Yaodong took a puff of cigarettes before he felt comfortable. In fact, he wanted to quit smoking these two days, but he found it a bit difficult. He had been addicted to cigarettes for decades.
"Hey, tomorrow A Guang said that he would borrow a boat to take us out to sea, do you want to go?"
The four people who were playing cards turned around and glanced at them.
"Is there anything better? I haven't seen enough of the sea since I was a child?"
"Didn't get enough sun drying today? Are you going to go out by boat?"
"Alright, why borrow a boat to go out?"
Fatty still doesn’t go, “Don’t call me for basking in the sun, I’m too full, I can drink and play cards!”
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "You're so fat, you're lazier than me. Tomorrow there will be a tide on the first day of the lunar new year. Go to the isolated island to see if you can find some good things. Those uninhabited islands have never been touched by anyone, not to mention seafood and reefs. The shellfish must be big and plentiful."
Awei said curiously: "You haven't been there yet, and you know?"
"Just say whether to go or not!"
This is his experience, can there be fakes? Seafood is not sure, but snails and shellfish are definitely not missing.
"It's still a question of whether I can borrow a boat. I'll see tomorrow. If you can borrow it, let's go together. Everyone has a companion, otherwise I won't be free in a few days." Ah Guang said seriously.
"Okay, let's go together."
Except for Fatty, the four players who played cards agreed with Ah Zheng. Ah Wei said that he didn't want to go, because he didn't receive much goods yesterday, so he didn't want to join in the fun.
