Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1221 Unwilling to Go Into the Water

Ye Yaodong just wanted to stay nearby so that he could have a clearer understanding of where things were going. There was still no result for those two ships.

If he was driven away, how would he know the outcome?

He asked his father to drive the boat and trawle the net around the area, as long as he didn't get close to the law enforcement ships.

The other three fishing boats nearby had also started moving, but his boat had not moved yet, so they were all waiting there.

Ye Yaodong shouted to the other boats, "It's alright, go back to work and trawle as normal."

After saying that, he turned to his boatmen and said, "Let's start working as usual. Cook if you need to, and sort the fishing nets if you need to."

"We haven't cast a single net since we set out at night. It's already early in the morning. We'll cook some porridge and eat it. Those who haven't slept all night will go to rest after breakfast and come back for their next shift after they've had a good sleep."

He will go to take over his father after dinner and let his father go to sleep. Although he didn't sleep much at night, his father has managed to survive until now.

Everyone responded and then went back to their respective duties.

The four boats slowly separated and spread out on the sea at distances far from each other.

Ye Yaodong also went up to the wheelhouse and continued to look around the sea with a telescope.

When their own fishing nets were being lowered, other boats also slowly lowered their nets at about the same time.

They said they were distributed on the sea, but in fact they were scattered around the two detained fishing boats in the center.

Others were probably also paying attention to the movements on the sea at the same time.

"Dad, let's go in the direction they are chasing us. It's too far away and we can't see them. Let's get a little closer and not get in the way. Let's see if those two ships can get away."

"They definitely can't escape. Now the other boats are free." Ye's father said this, but he still drove the boat in the direction of the law enforcement ship's pursuit.

When they met and gradually shortened the distance, Ye Yaodong also saw with a telescope that the distance between the fishing boats chasing was very short, they were almost touching each other. Maybe they had been forced to stop?
Father Ye asked, "Did you see anything? I just saw a few small dots. They seemed to be very short and didn't move."

"They are close together. They should be forced to stop. Look over there. There is only one boat left in that direction. I think the other one should have sunk. There is only one law enforcement boat left."

"Another one sank?"

Father Ye was surprised and quickly turned around and drove in the direction he pointed, and there was really only a lonely small dot left.

"How much is the loss? Both boats sank. The whole boat looks like it was wrapped tightly with tarpaulin. It must be very valuable."

"It must be valuable. If it's not valuable, why would they smuggle it? The price of the goods must be more than double the difference between the two. The goods piled high on the ship may be worth hundreds of thousands."

“Several…several hundred thousand…” Father Ye’s eyes widened and his mouth opened.

"What's so surprising about this? It might be worth more than that. It could even be sold for millions."

"Oh, that must be so heartbreaking."

"Why are you so sad? Your life is about to be lost, and you still feel sorry for the goods?"

"I mean the law enforcement ships."

"That's right. I am really heartbroken. A whole shipload of goods. Aren't all the seized goods confiscated? Of course I am heartbroken about my own stuff."

The father and son waited and watched the situation develop.

After finishing breakfast, they saw the two boats in the distance heading back.

They also moved away depending on the situation, then made a circle and slowly headed towards the two captured boats in the middle to work.

Ye Yaodong wanted to let his father go to rest first, but Ye's father was reluctant to go to bed at this time as he hadn't seen the result yet.

The sailors on the deck were also standing on the deck, watching and whispering, and no one was willing to leave at this time.

It was the first time I saw with my own eyes a law enforcement ship seize a smuggling ship at sea. This was a huge deal. I would have something to brag about when I got back, so how could I go to sleep at this time?

I've been up all night, so why bother with a little while longer?

They could only hear about it in the past, but now they can see it with their own eyes and experience it personally.

However, they did not dare to get too close as they were also working at the moment.

Ye's father didn't have the courage either, so if he had any, it had to be given by Ye Yaodong.

At this time, he asked Ye Yaodong, and Ye Yaodong just said that he just had to watch from the side and not get close.

After all, they are just ordinary fishermen and fishing boats. They are enforcing the law, so it is not appropriate to get close to them repeatedly, which may easily arouse suspicion.

Normal people would usually stay away when faced with the current situation. No one would keep coming forward and asking about the situation like him.

It would be fine if he approached her once out of curiosity, but if he did so again and again, people might think he had ulterior motives.

The other fishing boats were also paying close attention to the law enforcement ships at this time. Ye's father connected with others and whispered about what he had seen.

The other fishing boats were far away, but they were brave enough to get a little closer, and with the help of binoculars, they could see more clearly.

After the law enforcement ships gathered together one after another, they stayed for only a short while before they all started moving at the same time, carrying the three large ships that had been seized as well.

"Dongzi, Dongzi, are they going to dock and go back?"

"That should be it. We have seized three large ships and personnel. We will definitely return immediately."

"When we get back, go ask your godfather. He must know the situation and what was seized on the three ships. Ask the people on the ships how to deal with it. There must be something about our nearby villages."

"Ah."

He was wondering whether he should go back now, but if he went back now, it would seem a little suspicious. He would follow others back to the shore right after they did.

A day or two late should not be a big deal, as communications are underdeveloped, policies are imperfect, and the coast guard's law enforcement capabilities are not that strong.

"We will return once the warehouse is full. If the warehouse is not full tomorrow, we will go back tomorrow and sell a batch of goods on shore."

"It's all up to you."

"There's nothing to do now. The boat has sailed away. You can go and rest. I'll watch over you here. When you wake up, you can take over. It will take more than half an hour to collect this net."

Father Ye nodded and said with some regret: "What a pity, the two boats sank. Do you want to wait until you have rested enough and go down to take a look?"

"Dad, have you tasted the sweetness?"

"Haha, don't you want to give it a try? I see you've been down there a lot, and you've often been able to fish out boxes. Anyway, you have those things on your boat, so you can go down there and take a look."

Ye Yaodong was actually quite eager to make a move. Those were two large ships full of cargo. He might as well go down and take a look. Even if he didn't see anything, it would be no loss.

"Let's go in the water later. It's cold even at this time. The temperature will rise at noon. Let's wait until it's warmer before going in."

"Then I'll give it to you. I'm going to go and rest first. When I wake up... well... it will probably be too late. I'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Don't hold out hope. This is deep water. It will definitely sink to the bottom. There's no way we can get it. We can only try our best to save it."

I'd just go down and take a look, but I couldn't really expect to get the cargo from the two ships that sank to the bottom.

"Ah."

Father Ye gave up the cockpit to him and went to rest first.

Ye Yaodong watched the eight boats gradually moving away in one direction, then he withdrew his gaze, put down his telescope, and concentrated on trawling.

When the time is right, have someone collect the nets and pick up the goods.

Everyone took their turns to work in an orderly manner, and spent the whole day discussing what would happen to the people on the smuggling ship.

They are all glad that they have a legitimate job. Although they don't earn as much as the smugglers, it's much better than many people.

It is not a good idea to break the law and commit crimes. You may feel happy for a short time but then regret it for the rest of your life and cause your whole family to worry and fear.

Ye Yaodong and his father took turns to rest, and when he woke up after resting enough, it was already the next morning.

When Ye's father went to rest, he told him to wait until noon when the sun was bright before going into the water. It happened that he would have woken up by then and could help watch over the situation.

Ye Yaodong had no objection.

The harvest in the past two days has been very good. As the temperature is rising in spring, the fish has increased. If I drag a few more nets, I will probably be able to fill up the fish warehouse.

He also notified several other ships in advance yesterday and asked them to keep all the groceries on board. He planned to dock back this evening and bring the groceries back to him to avoid wasting them by dumping them back into the sea. He would then dock back at night to sell the goods.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea. Maybe he could search the goods on the three fishing boats later and temporarily use the Dongsheng as a seafood collection boat!

He would tow all the cargo from the other ships back and sell them at a good price, making a profit from the difference. Anyway, he was planning to go back early.

Everyone can empty the fish warehouse on the boat and continue loading, without having to return early with him or look for other fresh fish receiving ships. He can also take the opportunity to make some money and get familiar with receiving in advance.

perfect!

He suppressed his thoughts for the time being and decided to deal with it later when he moved the groceries. He didn't have a beam scale or a pound scale on his boat, so he had to rely on trust.

There will definitely be no problem with A Guang and his two brothers. Then let's see if Zhou Da and the others are willing to give him the goods on the Mancang to take back for weighing.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t give it to me, since we have a lot of goods anyway.

Ye Yaodong was thinking about this and that while doing his homework, the homework process was boring and monotonous anyway.

At noon, after Ye's father woke up, they had a meal and just in time to pull up the fishing nets that had been lowered into the sea, Ye's father drove the boat to a shipwreck.

He asked Ye Yaodong which one to choose, but Ye Yaodong just told him to choose whatever he wanted. He didn't have much hope anyway, so at worst he could just go into the water and take a look at both places.

"Adong, these two things were not bought in vain. No one recognizes them, but he knows how to use them."

"Yeah, I've never seen it before. I didn't expect that I could stay in the sea for so long with this thing."

"It is only by following Dongzi that I can gain more knowledge..."

Everyone turned around and teased Ye's father, "That's why you couldn't wait to come back from the boats of your other two sons."

"After all this mess, it's better to follow Ah Dong, hahahaha..."

"That's right. We all got to enjoy the glory of our family and be in the newspapers. I never dared to think that I could be in the newspapers in my lifetime..."

"I've only succeeded for once following Ah Dong... I wouldn't have had this opportunity with anyone else..."

When he heard everyone talking about this again, Father Ye became depressed, his face turned black, and he had no desire to speak.

Ye Yaodong cheerfully interrupted everyone's banter, otherwise his father would be sulking again.

"Come and have someone go down with me, so I can have a companion," Ye Yaodong said to everyone, "Anyone of you who is curious about the situation down there can go down with me."

Chen Shi was the first to raise his hand, "I..."

"Okay, then it's you. These past two years of training you have not been in vain. Do a good job."

If the stuttering problem can be solved, it would be nice to hand over the ship to Chen Shi.

Chen Shihan smiled and quickly took off his clothes and changed his equipment.

Father Ye also said: "Stop talking nonsense, there are still a lot of goods waiting for you to pick up, so hurry up and do it."

"Haha, if you can keep working while talking, there might be another chance."

"Yes, everyone says that Adong is good at shipping. Although there are more and more ships in our village in the past two years, no one can make money as fast as Adong."

"What the hell, 2/3 of the boats in the village belong to Adong."

Everyone was talking about the excitement. They were no longer surprised to see Ye Yaodong and his friends going into the water. No one surrounded them and everyone was busy working.

In fact, we didn’t have any hope of seeing a shipwreck below, and we all felt that our efforts were in vain.

Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi warmed up and then jumped down.

In other places, ducks are the first to know when the water warms up in spring, but today he can only be the duck with Chen Shi.

The two men shivered as soon as they entered the water, and only swam back down after they had adjusted themselves.

But before they reached the bottom, three or four meters below, they saw a huge whale.

Before they could be surprised, they saw the whale open its mouth wide and then spray out a bunch of long objects from its mouth. The two of them quickly dodged.

I didn't get home until 7000 or this afternoon, so I didn't have enough time to finish writing, but I managed to finish it. I'll finish another words tonight.
