Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1444 Arrival
At least it wasn't in vain, because he received the envelope before I went back, although only two days in advance.

It’s already very good. I thought I would miss it and send it in vain. Fortunately, he also prepared gifts for the three children, so he kept his promise.

Ye Yaodong took the newspapers from other people, folded them and put them in envelopes.

It’s a pity that his father didn’t keep many copies.

He has to take this letter back and bring it up again, and other people can only see it after half a month.

Ah Guang looked at him enviously as he folded the newspaper again and again, "Dongzi, shouldn't you burn a few more copies of this newspaper for your ancestors to see?"

"Yes, I'll go to the newsstand and buy a few more copies. But this one will be a month past its expiration date when I get back, and I don't know if I can still buy it."

"Go to the post office in town and ask if there's a copy with that date. I think you can find it. Otherwise, just burn one of the ones you have."

"Ah."

"You are really awesome now. The people of the whole city and even the whole province may know you. You have brought honor to your family."

Before Ye Yaodong could say anything, Ah Zheng interrupted with a smile, "Dongzi, I think you should burn a TV down there so that the old man can see you on TV."

"Haha, that makes sense." Others also quickly looked over and agreed.

Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "It's no problem to burn a TV down there, but who will connect the wires and tune it? Can you guys go down and help him install it?"

"Pah, that's nonsense."

"Fuck, he's not my ancestor."

"Speak human language!"

Ye Yaodong didn't want to argue with them. Although the sea breeze was cool, it was also very hot.

"Look how idle you are. Let's play cards. Watch me kill everyone..."

"Come on, come on...it's not certain who will kill whom..."

A few people uttered harsh words and sat directly on the deck, ready to take on three families at once.

There were also quite a few people standing in groups of three or four on the deck, leaning against the side of the ship and chatting. In the summer, feeling the sea breeze on the deck was more comfortable than staying in the stuffy cabin.

Even at night there were lights from fishing boats on the deck, providing enough light for them to use.

Only when they could no longer bear it and kept yawning did they stop working and had to go back to the cabin to lie down and sleep.

There were only a few seats in total, all of which were occupied by those who had bought tickets in advance. Others could only squeeze into a small space and could only sit, holding their luggage tightly, and it was difficult to move.

Besides being stuffy and hot, the cabin was also filled with a strong odor of sweat and feet.

So most people sleep directly sitting on the deck. It is cool and comfortable, and 100 times better than in the cabin.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if you go to bed early at night and wake up at sunrise.

However, the seats on the deck are also very popular. You may get up to go to the bathroom and find that your seat is no longer available the next second. The main thing is that everyone takes a nap, and once they have some more space, there will be no seats left.

The deck was already piled high with cargo and the space was limited, so those who ran out of room had to go back to the cabin and stay there.

Although Ye Yaodong and his companions also felt that the cabin was stuffy, at least they could lie down, which was more comfortable than sleeping sitting down. Their cabin door was open, so the sea breeze blowing in was not so unbearable.

This time he returned much faster than his last time.

Lin Ji also thought it would be best to get home before the Dragon Boat Festival, so he did not drop off the goods or people he took during the journey. Anyway, it was only the first trip, so he took a few to test the waters, and the people who consigned the goods would be more satisfied with the efficient arrival.

However, this was his first trip along this route, so he had little experience and the timing was not perfect. It was already 10 o'clock the next night when he arrived in town.

Ye Yaodong thought about the original departure time of 9:10- o'clock, so he called and said that he would be back in the next two or three days, but he didn't know the exact day he would arrive home, it all depended on the speed of the boat.

So after arriving in town, he asked A Guang and the others to help unload the goods, and he went to find Hong Wenle and borrow his phone to call home and inform A Qing.

Lin Xiuqing had fallen asleep when she suddenly heard the phone ringing in the main room. She was startled and quickly sat up, then tiptoed out of bed.

Knowing that Ye Yaodong had returned, they were all pleasantly surprised when they arrived at the town dock.

As soon as she heard that a tractor was needed to go to the dock to transport goods, she immediately called the old lady who had also gotten up, went back to her room to put on another piece of clothing, and then went to the workshop to ask the two people on duty to drive the tractor to the town quickly.

She thought about running back and forth quickly, arranging things, and then picking up the phone to talk when she came back.

Unexpectedly, when she finished her arrangements and ran back to the main room, the phone had been hung up and only the old lady was still rummaging around.

"Bye?"

The old lady smiled happily, "He's dead. He said the cargo on the ship hasn't been unloaded yet, and he's asking his friends to help unload it. He has to go back early to help."

"It's the middle of the night. Where can I get help to unload the goods? Fortunately, I have a friend to come back with me."

"It's good to be back."

"What are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for vermicelli and mushrooms. I just thought that today is the Dragon Boat Festival and Dongzi should be back in the next two days, so I stewed the chicken in advance. Coincidentally, I already have chicken soup, so I'll blanch some noodles, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be full enough."

"Then I'll light the fire."

"Heat up the chicken soup first, and then you can put the noodles in when they are hot, and they won't be too hot when you eat them."

The old lady was happily busy rummaging around.

He used to sigh and look listless, standing at the door with his neck stretched out during the day. But at night he immediately became full of energy, as if he had unlimited motivation and was full of energy.

"Amitabha, at least he's home for the Dragon Boat Festival, I'll kill a duck for him tomorrow..."

Lin Xiuqing: “…”

He was chanting Buddhist mantras, and then he went on to talk about killing ducks?

If the old lady could sing, Lin Xiuqing would have thought that she would not chant Amitabha at this time, but hum a song.

After Ye Yaodong finished the call, he didn't even bother to greet anyone. He just said that there was still a shipload of cargo to be unloaded, and then he hurried back to the dock.

During the day, the dock is full of people who come to work as odd jobs to move goods. There are also many ships coming to their port for supplies and unloading. For example, after unloading goods, they also transport some sand, cement and other building materials.

But at night, there are almost no people there, as everyone is off work and taking a rest.

Lin Ji also planned to dock at the town’s dock overnight, set off to the city the next day to unload goods, and then go to the provincial capital.

After arriving home, the cargo ship has to unload more cargo during the rest of its journey.

Back at the dock, Ye Yaodong saw his friends sweating profusely while unloading cargo but didn't unload much, while everyone else on the deck was still chatting. He then had an idea in his mind.

If you are short of workers to carry the goods, aren’t there ready-made ones here?
He called out, and everyone rolled up their sleeves and raised their hands, saying that they could work as porters for him to earn some extra money.

I am too tired and sleepy. I will write a little first and everyone will make up for it tomorrow. I will give you a bonus of 100 chapters.
