Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1246 After the Storm
Everyone was chatting in his yard the whole afternoon, and by the end there were several gambling tables.

Ye Yaodong was worried about such a large group of people coming in and out, and the loud shouting. He was afraid that someone nearby would report them and they would all be arrested.

After all, they are all called outsiders by their neighbors.

Yesterday, I thought that everyone had just returned from the sea and had something to talk about, so I asked them to gather together to talk. Then I let them play at the gambling table until dinner time, and then I went back to eat.

Who would have thought that he didn't come after dark last night, and now, before he even woke up, he heard a large group of people making a lot of noise in the yard, which made his head hurt.

As soon as he opened the door and went out, he shouted, "Caught the gambler!"

Everyone was still holding cards in their hands, and the tables were being carried to the yard to make more space so that everyone could stand. The result was that everyone was shocked.

"Adong..."

"Boss..."

"Do you think I'm a casino or something? If you have nothing to do during a typhoon, why don't you go out for a walk? Are you here to gamble? How much money do you have to gamble?"

Ye Yaodong was furious. How could this place turn into a gambling den?

Are you bored and just want to play once? Why do you come here to gamble every day?

"Haha... Isn't there a typhoon? There's no one on the road?"

"Then go back and lie down. If you want to get caught, keep going. Do you think your neighbors can listen to you yelling and arguing like this every day? Do you think this is your own village?"

"Ah, got caught?"

Everyone was a little at a loss.

"What else can we do? Gathering together to gamble, and there are hundreds of people gathering together to gamble, if we report it, it will be confirmed. We are from other places, who will give you face? If you go to jail like this, I will not take care of you."

Everyone felt a little embarrassed.

You look at me, I look at you, it seems like there are quite a lot of people.

"Haha... we're just playing for a bit out of boredom. No more playing, no more playing."

"Don't say I didn't warn you. Be careful when you go out. Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Eating and drinking are okay. As long as you have money, you can eat and drink whatever you want. But as for whoring and gambling, hmm, you'll have to do whatever you want."

"No, no, it's just that we can't work during a typhoon..."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Go back to your own homes, go back to where you came from, whether you want to go shopping, go to the pier, or do anything else, just don't gamble with me."

"It's nothing. Don't rush over here. I have enough people here. If there are so many people coming in and out, the neighbors will be scared to death."

If he hadn't delivered some fish to the neighbors every few days and maintained a good relationship with them, he would have come to their house and scolded them for the quarrel yesterday.

But we cannot challenge people’s bottom line again and again.

If there are new neighbors moving in near his house, with hundreds of people coming in and out all day long, making a lot of noise, affecting other people's lives, and even starting gambling games, who would care whether you are neighbors or not? They would still start scolding each other even if they have a good relationship.

The group of people felt a little awkward and left after saying a few words.

The yard suddenly became quiet.

"If you have free time, go help an old lady cross the road, or help an old lady nearby fetch water or chop firewood!"

"what?"

"What? We all went to fetch water and chop wood. There's a typhoon. We never know when it will rain heavily and the power will go out. If we can't leave the house for ten days or half a month, and there's no firewood to burn, we'll all be left to starve."

"Okay, let's go chop some more wood and fetch some more water."

Assign them all tasks so that they have something to do and they won't be bored when they're all together.

After Ye Yaodong had breakfast and left someone to look after the house, he went out for a walk.

Although it is a typhoon day, it seems to be sunny and windy. The wind is not as hot as before, but quite cool. The wind is also strong and a little stronger than yesterday.

When he strolled to the pier, it was bustling with activity.

When I got closer, I realized that someone had seen them catch several boatloads of jellyfish yesterday and was very excited.

I thought they were fishing in the trench, and since the typhoon hadn't arrived yet, the surrounding coasts weren't affected much.

If they can catch it, there's no reason why others can't.

Just as the typhoon was approaching, no fishing boats dared to go out to sea. The trench over there was empty and there would be no competitors. It was a perfect opportunity, so someone took advantage of the opportunity and caught so much yesterday.

So early this morning some fishing boats took the risk and sent two or three out, and they just returned with full loads.

After the goods were sold, another wave of fishermen were interested, and now several more boats also followed out.

It is true that wealth and honor are sought in danger...

He looked at the sky. Apart from the howling wind, there were also waves that occasionally hit the shore, which really gave people the illusion that the typhoon was just passing by.

They probably all thought that the weather was good and it wouldn't have much of an impact, and since others could earn money and return safely, so could they.

He didn't stay at the dock for long. He listened to the news, looked at the waves and then went back.

Then when he went to see the waves the next day, he found that more than half of the fishing boats were gone from the dock.

Everyone who went there yesterday returned with a full load, so many more people were jealous today and followed suit without reason...

After all, if they were scattered on the sea in the past, no one would take the risk to search for them on the sea if they knew a typhoon was coming. But now we are in the trench, a gathering place for jellyfish, so it is inevitable that we are tempted.

The main thing is that some people have benefited and are safe. Who can watch others make money?

Even these outsiders wanted to take the risk and go out to sea to salvage, and they all gathered together to discuss it.

Ye's father and his two brothers also came over to ask him.

"The locals are all out on their boats today. Should we go out and take a look? I think the typhoon has little impact. It hasn't rained yet. The waves are just a little bigger. Our boat is big..."

"Dad, don't follow the crowd. We should follow others. If no one goes out to sea, will you go?"

"Then I see that they are all fine, right? They still salvage a lot of fish every day, and the number is huge, no less than during the peak flood season..."

"It's only been two days. The typhoon won't pass that quickly. Let's wait."

"Isn't it because you have so many people to support, and the salaries are so high, but they are all sitting idle at home..."

"Safety first. You know I brought so many people here. I have to be responsible. Let's wait."

He has earned enough in the past period of time, so there is no need for him to go with them.

However, he did not expect that while his family was stable, some people on the other side could no longer hold back, and their fishing boats went out to sea that afternoon.

Moreover, the weather changed that afternoon, the wind became stronger and stronger, and it started to rain heavily.

The weather is changeable on typhoon days. It may be sunny and windy one second and rainy in sheets the next.

What’s more, the sea is more terrifying than the land, as violent storms can come at any time.

There was sunshine in the morning, but it became cloudy and windy at noon.

Ye Yaodong and his group were all at home. They had been taking advantage of the cool weather during the typhoon to take a stroll outside, but when they saw it was raining they all came back. He counted the number of people and found that no one was missing, so he was not worried.

Father Ye was also glad that his two sons almost followed suit in the afternoon. He was also wavering after being asked by his two sons, so he went to ask Dongzi.

Then I talked to the people who were closer to me and advised them not to follow the trend.

Unexpectedly, at dinner time in the evening, they heard someone knocking on the door. When they let the person in, they found out that someone had also gone out to sea in the afternoon.

Fortunately, they arrived late and felt the wind and waves were too strong halfway through the journey, so they came back in a panic, and there were no casualties.

But he was also scared to death. He said that his legs were shaking after he got ashore and he sat directly on the ground, feeling extremely scared.

When we got ashore, the wind was already strong and it was dark even though it was only 3 o'clock.

Ye Yaodong and his friends were lighting candles and listening to the strong wind outside. The rain was pouring into the main room, so they had to move to their rooms to eat.

The person who came to report the news was sent by A Guang, and after he finished speaking, he hurried back in the wind and rain.

Everyone felt a little scared after hearing this.

“Fortunately we didn’t go…”

"I don't know what happened to the locals. If they react in time, they will probably be able to come back in time..."

"This typhoon has only just begun and has not yet landed. The winds will really get strong at night. I guess there will be no one on the road at this moment, let alone going to the pier."

"The trench is a little far from the city. It took us an hour to get there by boat. Fortunately, they turned back halfway..."

Father Ye also said thankfully: "Fortunately we stayed at home honestly. It should land in the evening. Let's go and take a look tomorrow..."

Ye Yaodong thought that the locals had no idea how much they had lost, and Zeng Weimin's performance this year was probably going to be bad again...

The typhoon raged and howled at night, and when dawn came, all that was left was a mess.

The dock was in an uproar, with cries everywhere. Even the police were dispatched and a cordon was set up. I heard that the law enforcement ship had also been dispatched.

But no news has come back yet.

After the typhoon, the wind stopped, but the authorities no longer allowed fishing boats to go out to sea.

In fact, this is a waste of time, and no one dares to go out to sea at this time.

It was not until the evening that he heard Fang Jingfu say that five or six bodies had been salvaged, and the rest were still being salvaged. The number of missing people was being counted. Fang Jingfu didn't even know how many people were missing, so this had to be kept secret.

They heard from their neighbors that more than a dozen bodies had been fished out, but that was not true.

Now the local government is in a state of panic again...

To make matters worse, the weather was still not clear the next day after the typhoon passed, and it rained heavily on the third day. I heard that the eye of the typhoon had formed again.

This time the authorities learned a lesson. As soon as they received the news that another typhoon was forming, they immediately took a loudspeaker and went from street to street to announce the news and asked everyone to stay indoors.

Everyone learned their lesson and stayed at home.

This group of people just came to Ye Yaodong every day to sigh and complain, and now everyone is more convinced of what Ye Yaodong said.

Fortunately, most people listened to him.

The main typhoon affects people for one day, which means one day’s loss. Otherwise, no one would think of taking the risk.

I really can't afford the loss.

It's already hard enough for everyone to not make any money after working out for so many days, and now there are consecutive typhoons.

Perhaps because of the successive typhoons, there was heavy rainfall as soon as the second typhoon formed, and it rained for four or five days in a row, with wind and rain, before it began to land.

After landing, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up immediately.

It’s just that due to the impact of two consecutive typhoons, even the law enforcement ships are unable to salvage the missing people. Now another week has passed, and the missing people can only be regarded as an accident.

As soon as the typhoon passed, they heard that many families had already started holding funerals, and some people were holding memorial services at the dock early in the morning.

Everyone sighed and complained that it was not easy to make money.

Moreover, after the typhoon, the sea waves are huge and the government has now banned people from going out to sea. I don’t know when they will relax the ban.

"Adong...what should I do now..."

Ye Yaodong spread his hands and said, "You ask me, I have no idea. The government doesn't allow people to go out to sea, and the waves are so big outside, do you dare to go?"

"This is terrible. I have lost all my money."

"I don't know if there will be another typhoon later..."

"Fuck, you're such a badass..."

"So we can only sit here and watch?"

"We can only wait."

"Adong...Aren't you free at the lighter factory? Can we do some odd jobs there?"

Everyone looked at him with eager eyes, at least they could earn some money.

The captain's eyes became even more fiery.

"I can't do it. The staff inside is already full and no more is needed."

Wouldn't it just cause more trouble if we sent so many stragglers over there?

Moreover, the production line is mature. If such a large group of people are added to the production line, how will he bear the cost if something happens?

Putting someone in there won't benefit him in any way, so why bother?
"Well, then we can only wait?"

"This year, I'm really going to lose a lot..."

"It will probably be the end of the month by the time the storm is over. A whole month has already been wasted..."

I don’t know if there is any at night! ! ! ! If there is no promise, don’t wait!
