Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1515 Focus

The more veterans he accommodates, the more solid his backing will become, and he will naturally receive more policy support and more resources.

It is relatively easy to get support now, and there are fewer twists and turns.

For the future of his factory, he must do his best to cooperate, make it bigger and stronger, and develop more jobs.

Ah Guang patted his shoulder and said, "I will support you mentally. After you finish the work, I will follow you."

Ye Yaodong shook his shoulders and shook off his hand. "Don't give me that. Hurry up and get a big boat with me to eat meat. Now we can only drink soup near the coast."

"I haven't made enough money from offshore yet..."

"I told you, you can only drink soup near the coast. There are so many fishing boats fishing aggressively, it's not like there's no limit to the catch."

"How can we catch them all? There will be fish from outside swimming in. The ocean is so big, and everything is circulating."

Ah Guang didn't quite believe what he said about the fish being fished out. To him, the ocean seemed endless.

"The fishing nets don't even let go of small fish and shrimps. They catch everything in one go. It takes time for fish and shrimp to grow. They grow faster than they can be caught."

"Besides, marine life has its own habits. Some species can only survive near the coast, some fish can only live in the deep sea, and some migrate back and forth. They all have regional differences. Do you think that all the species from the open sea can flow in?"

"Offshore resources are gone once they are caught. For example, here, more than a decade ago, it was said that there was a yellow croaker fishing season every year, but the fish were so abundant that they could only be fed to pigs. Is there still any now?"

"It's not just the fishing grounds here that are fishing aggressively. Fishing is happening all along the coast. It's just that the fishing grounds are more concentrated here, there are more fishing boats, and the fishing is more ruthless."

"In my opinion, the fish will eventually run out. Once the fish nearby is finished, you can only keep fishing outside. Only those who are one step ahead can get the meat."

"If you want to make money, you have to go far away. Before others can react, we can eat our fill and make money in advance."

Ye Yaodong explained to him quickly, it was really boring now and there was no one to talk to.

Otherwise, he would actually rather talk to his father about these things.

After all, if he planned to go to the deep sea after the New Year, he would definitely have to communicate with his father first.

Now I have told A Guang everything, let’s see whether he can do it or not.

Ah Guang frowned, silently digesting the information he gave. He had heard him mention it a few times before, but not as clearly as he said it now. He only said it vaguely.

"What you said... makes sense..."

"Of course, I never missed it."

"Right."

"Think about it."

Ye Yaodong took off his cotton jacket, put it on inside out, then covered his face with a hat and continued to bask in the sun, which was more comfortable this way.

Seeing his expression, A Guang didn't disturb him and let himself digest it, think about it, and think about it carefully.

After all, buying a big ship is not a trivial matter. With his current wealth, it is difficult for him to pay the deposit.

Ever since the price of fishing boats increased significantly last year, he has admired Dongzi from the bottom of his heart and ordered a bunch of boats early on, all of which made him money.

"Does the deposit have to be 10?"

Ye Yaodong's face was in the hat, and a dull voice came out, "Almost. The rest will be gradually handed over by you during the process of making it."

"I'll go back during the Chinese New Year and discuss it with Huimei and my father."

"Ask your father to pay more money. He's old anyway and can't spend much. Your little brother will have to rely on you in the future."

"It depends on his arrangements. Anyway, my father has given me everything that belongs to me, so I haven't lost anything."

"If you can't handle it on your own and can't eat it, why don't you ask my eldest brother and second brother to help you?"

"Let me think about it first. I'll go home and discuss it with Huimei. I also need to calculate how much money I have on hand first."

"Well, if it's not enough, I'll lend you some."

"Moreover."

Ah Guang thought for a moment and asked again: "If you want to go to the deep sea next year, it will take at least a few months after the New Year, right?"

"Of course. We have to arrange everything from the processing plant to the shore before we can go. This is a good transition period for the new crew members to get familiar with the job."

"Then it will take at least two or three months?"

"Why? You're asking so many questions. What do you want to do?"

"I was thinking of waiting for you to go to the deep sea and see what you have harvested. Then I can decide whether to book the ship or not. Is that ok?"

A Guang felt it was too much trouble to talk to him like this, so he just took the hat off his face.

"Sure, if you don't mind the late delivery date, you may also face a price increase, so that's all."

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, I can't do anything about the price increase, isn't it normal to increase the price halfway through the work?"

"Well, just make up your mind."

"One step late, every step late, you will make all the money."

"Isn't this all earned right under your nose? It's your fault for not following up."

"How can I be like you? I do it as soon as I think of it. I always worry that it won't work out and I'm afraid I'll lose money. If I think about it a little more, won't I be hesitant? Besides, there are some things you can do that I can't. I didn't split up the family in the past few years."

"Ah."

So, sometimes the right time, place and people are also very important, and you have to keep up if you want to.

"Where's our dad? You're here, but he's not with you?"

After talking for a long time, A Guang finally remembered to ask where Ye's father had gone. Logically, after sending Ye's mother away and Dongzi coming back here, Ye's father should also be here.

"He came with me earlier, but I don't know where he is now. Maybe he went to the warehouse, or maybe to the room upstairs."

"I just realized why he ended up sleeping in the warehouse."

"He was too lazy to climb the stairs, and it was quiet over there in the warehouse."

"I thought you were asking him to look at the warehouse again."

"Am I that cruel?" Ye Yaodong sat up and glared at him unhappily.

"Haha, if your own father doesn't help out a little, who else can you ask to do more? After accumulating for half a year, your warehouse has a lot of goods."

"It happened to be brought back for the Chinese New Year. He wanted to sleep there on his own initiative. I didn't ask him to sleep in the warehouse."

Ye Yaodong shrugged his nose and smelled the aroma of food. "It's time to eat."

"The dog's nose is really sharp. Let's go and have dinner."

He shouted loudly, "Dinner is ready."

When Father Ye heard the shout, he came out of the warehouse, then pulled Ye Yaodong with a panicked look on his face and whispered, "Dongzi, I can't find my gold ring."

Ye Yaodong stopped and asked, "Where are you hiding?"

"I followed your example and hid it among the dried fish in the warehouse."

"what!"

"I had marked them, but there were too many, and it seemed like new ones were piled in, so I couldn't find which bag it was."

Ye Yaodong: “!!!”

How did his father give birth to such a smart son?
Ah Guang also opened his eyes wide when he heard it, "Then how can we find it?"

"I marked it, but I just piled up new ones. I don't know if it was covered up or moved away?"

"What about your private savings and the big bracelet you bought a while ago?"

"Here it is. I just thought your mother had gone to the Magic City, so I was going to take it out and take a look. But I found all the other hidden places except the ring."

Ye Yaodong was speechless, "Fortunately it was just a small ring..."

"Then we have to find it back."

"You don't even know which bag you put it in, how can we find it? If you make too much noise, everyone will know that you hid the gold in the bag of dried fish."

"What should I do?"

Ye's father had a look of regret on his face. If he had known earlier, he would have wrapped it in a few more layers and not hidden it so tightly.

"Let's go eat first. After dinner we'll go with you to check. If you really can't find it, there's nothing we can do. We can only wait until we're ready to go back. When the goods are brought back, we'll carry them out bag by bag and load them onto the truck. You can then check them one by one. As long as they're inside, you'll always be able to find them. Just make sure you mark them clearly. Don't tie different knots, or they'll get messy."

"I used a black pen to draw a few small circles."

"How small?"

Father Ye gestured at the nail of his little finger and said, "It's this big."

Ye Yaodong held his forehead with his hand and said, "Let's go and have dinner."

He asked why he had been basking in the sun since he came back, but hadn't seen his father. It turned out that he was busy looking for treasures.

He was also convinced.

Ah Guang couldn't help laughing, "Dad, you're really good at hiding it."

"Alas, you are not as lucky as your father."

Ye Yaodong turned around and looked at him with dark eyes. Father Ye then realized what he had said and slapped his mouth.

"Pah...what nonsense are you talking about."

"Why do I feel like it's what's in your heart?"

"I'm just kidding," Father Ye quickly pulled him aside, "Come on, come on, it's time to eat. Stop talking nonsense. You have to find it for me after you're full."

His warehouse was filled with sacks like mountains of dried fish of all kinds. Finding a gold ring in there was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, there were few people in the camp during the day as they all went out to sea. Only his logistics and delivery workers were there. However, after dinner, they basically sat in the yard basking in the sun and playing cards. No one paid attention to them, and no one could hear any movement from their warehouse.

"I think we are just bored."

"It's also called looking for trouble."

Ye Yaodong used a flashlight to search for his father bag by bag.

Although it was daytime, there was only one small window and one door in the room, so it was still a little dark where the sunlight didn't reach.

Father Ye was still trying to argue, "How could I know that I would not be able to find it again?"

"I'm so tired. I won't look for it anymore. It must be new ones piled in and covered up inside. Wait until I go home next month and come to the warehouse to move the goods. You can identify them bag by bag and then let them take them away."

Ye Yaodong didn't want to do useless work and waste time.

"Ok."

"You're just looking for trouble. I'm going to take a nap. I still have to work later. I don't know what time the delivery will be at night."

"Then you all should go take a nap."

"If you can't find it, I'll just give you a new one."

"You still have to find it. You can't just give it up. It costs a lot of money."

"Who can I blame? I can't find it, but luckily my mother doesn't know, otherwise she would have scolded you for a whole year."

Father Ye turned his back to them and waved his hands, "Go ahead, go ahead, do your own things."

He was still facing the dried fish that were almost piled to the ceiling, intending to look for it again.

The two left without any regrets.

"Dad will probably have to look for it all afternoon."

"Let him do whatever he wants."

I originally wanted to have a good talk with his father, but I let him find it. I guess he wouldn't be in the mood to listen or make any progress even if I told him.

After the two of them went out, they went back to their rooms.

Ye Yaodong lay on the bed and continued to think about his deep-sea plan.

It is definitely not too late to go to the deep sea. Starting from August, typhoons gradually increase in number and their impact becomes greater. For safety reasons, it is best not to go during these months when typhoons are frequent. In order to save fuel, it is also not advisable to go back and forth frequently.

The best thing is to go there for a month or two in April or May and come back, and then go there again for a month or two in June or July and come back.

Then you can stay near the coast in the months of August, September and October, go out to sea again in November, and come back around the end of the year.

This means that if we go next year, he will definitely be the one to lead us because he has the most experience.

Normally, we would not return until a typhoon warning was issued in the weather forecast, and we would be at sea for most of the year. However, all the people on the boat were novices, so this certainly could not be done at the beginning.

Ye Yaodong fell asleep in a daze, but he unexpectedly dreamed about being a sailor at sea in his previous life.

As time passed over the past few years, he rarely dreamed about his past life.

It was not until his father came and knocked on the door and said that the fishing boat had returned that he woke up from his sleep, sweating all over.

"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight..."

"Dongzi..."

"Here I am, I am up."

He quickly got up, dressed, opened and locked the door, and asked, "Did you find your gold ring?"

"No, where can I find it? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. They must have piled new goods in there. I won't look for it anymore. I'll just check them one by one when I go back to move the goods next month. I can't even move them now."

"Don't do such stupid things next time."

"Didn't I learn this from you?"

"I didn't ask you to make the mark so small, did I?"

"I'm not worried that the mark will be too big and people will notice it at a glance."

"You are too small. There are only a few black spots like sesame seeds in such a big sack."

"Don't be so long-winded. Fortunately, it's just a gold ring."

As Ye Yaodong walked, he talked to him about what he had talked about with A Guang before, about Huimei coming up.

Ye's father didn't know yet and was still confused after hearing it.

"As for the couple's affairs, they can just discuss it."

Father Ye said in confusion: "Then will we still go for foot washing and massage?"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"Then won't Huimei know everything we do then?"

"No... Dad, your focus is a bit strange..."

"Ah? If Huimei comes up, won't she know everything? Won't the couple have a conflict?"

"Guang didn't do anything. Wasn't he always at sea?"

"Then let's..."

"What are you afraid of? This is just a normal social event. If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. Besides, we arranged for her to live in the processing plant instead of with us."

Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief. "Live over there, that's good. Otherwise, this girl will be controlling. When your mother is not nagging, she will be nagging in my ear."

"You didn't do anything, what are you afraid of?"

"Isn't this a bad idea? I didn't do anything, but she doesn't know I didn't do anything. I can't explain this to my daughter."

"calm down."
