Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1078 Dealt with

The tractor swayed and swayed for a while before it arrived under the red flag. Ye Yaodong searched his pockets in frustration, glancing at the tractor driver from time to time.

But she wasn't embarrassed at all. She just stared at the money in his hand, waiting to take it.

He muttered that it was a rip-off, but he just handed the money over without saying anything else.

There's no point in talking. You don't know the way and you don't have a navigation map. You deserve to be ripped off.

People will not stop ripping off passers-by just because of his few words. After all, this is also a shortcut to getting rich.

After watching the tractor go away, Director Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's worth the money to learn a lesson. At least you know which way the gate opens in the future. Let's go in. It's already off work now. There's no one else here except the one on duty and the gatekeeper. I have to make a phone call and report it. I have to temporarily transfer a professional person from the army."

"At least we are in the city now. If we were in the county, we wouldn't be able to find relevant technical personnel and would have to wait for people to be sent from above. Then we would have to wait a lot."

Ye Yaodong followed him inside and looked around at the low houses and mottled paint-chipped walls. It didn't look much better than the Maritime Bureau in the county.

Director Chen greeted the guard, and the guard opened the door and let them in.

When he walked in and took a look, he saw that there was actually a small vegetable patch at the corner of the wall. The green leafy vegetables looked fresh and juicy, with water droplets on them, and the soil was moist. You could tell it had just been watered. The old security guard really knew how to live and would not waste a small piece of land.

"Stop looking and come here quickly."

"Oh, here we come..."

Ye Yaodong trotted after him, followed him into the office, said hello to another clerk on duty, and then went to the office to make a phone call.

It sounds like he called the army directly, explained the situation to them, and asked them to send someone over as soon as possible to deal with it.

That makes sense. There are troops stationed in the city, and the troops are probably the ones who are most familiar with these military things.

"Wait a moment, I still have to write a report and submit it. It will definitely take an hour or so for the troops to get here after receiving the news."

"Okay, okay, no hurry, thank you for your help. If it's convenient, can you lend me the bicycle you just rode?"

Director Chen looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing? Are you going anywhere?"

"It will be dark soon, so I thought I'd go buy some food so that everyone can fill their stomachs. Otherwise, we don't know when people will arrive."

"Oh, you are thoughtful. Go ahead. I also need to write a report first."

"Ok."

He did not forget to close the door when he went out, then went outside and rode his bicycle towards the pier as usual.

There were some carts selling food on the dock just now. It's not dark yet, so they should still be there.

It turned out that the distance was indeed not far, and the speed of riding a bicycle was probably comparable to that of a tractor. In just about 10 minutes, he returned to the dock.

The dock was still bustling with people as usual, except for a few purchasing points where some fishermen were weighing goods, most people were still gathered on the shore pointing and talking.

He found a man selling cakes and pastries and bought some from him, then bought two bottles of soda. When he saw someone carrying chestnuts and peanuts and about to leave, he stopped him and bought two kilograms from each of them.

By the way, he saw someone selling local peaches and cherries and wanted to buy ten kilograms of each, but there were not that many available, so he simply took whatever was left and bought them all.

The hawker was so happy that he could not see his teeth and eyes when he saw such a big customer just before closing his stall.

But he had nothing to load, so he just asked the vendor to weigh it and carry it to the boat at the dock over there.

They were so happy that of course they didn't respond. They used a basket to help him squeeze through the crowd, cursing in the local dialect as they pushed aside the people who were gathered on the shore wanting to see the bombs, and made a path for him to get on the boat without any obstacles.

Ye Yaodong was happy to save trouble.

The vendor was still standing there cursing, "All of you, after hearing that the boat had retrieved the bomb, all of you have crowded onto the shore. Really, you have nothing to do but sit here and watch. What can you expect to see? If it explodes, all of you will go to hell."

"Dong...Brother Dong...you you..."

"I've made contact. Someone will come over later to take care of it. I just bought some food for you to eat first. Also, put these two small baskets of fruit on the boat and take them out to sea later to share with everyone. Take a basket, wash it, then pad it with newspaper, turn it upside down, and free up the other person's basket to return it first."

"Good good..."

The vendor's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, this is your boat. Is this what you caught? Let me see, let me see. It's all here. It would be wrong if I didn't take a look. There are so many people around..."

Ye Yaodong quickly took out the money and paid him, then let him get off the boat.

"Don't look at it. If it explodes, your bones will be blown into powder. Let's go quickly."

These words frightened the man so much that he just took a quick look and quickly ran away.

But the people on the shore were still gathering there. It was human nature to watch the excitement. Although some people were worried about the danger, when they saw that everyone was watching, they felt that one more person wouldn't make any difference. They all had the herd mentality, as if there were more people, there would be no fear of the explosion.

After arranging the food, he took another clean basket, filled half with peaches and the other half with local cherries, and put two bottles of soda and some egg cakes and osmanthus cakes in it. He told Chen Shi to keep watching the boat before getting off.

He had just pushed the bicycle to the shore. Without a key or lock, he was really worried that it would be stolen. Fortunately, no one had the guts to do that as it was in front of everyone.

He pushed his bicycle out of the crowd before getting on it again and quickly heading towards the Ocean Bureau again.

Director Chen was holding a pen and writing quickly on paper. When there was a knock on the office door, he just looked up and said "come in", and then he never looked up again.

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to disturb them, nor did he dare to eat first, so he just sat there quietly and waited.

It was not until 10 minutes later, when the pen cap was put on and pinned to Director Chen's chest pocket, that he dared to ask him to eat something first.

"Hey, there are peaches and cherries?"

"I just happened to see someone selling fruits, so I bought some. You can take them back later. Eat some egg cake first to fill your stomach. I don't know when people will come."

"Just wait. It won't be that fast. The bases are far away. One is in the east and the other is in the west. Even if we react quickly, it will take at least an hour."

He was mentally prepared and was not in a hurry. He just quietly ate something to fill his stomach and chatted with Director Chen.

He was not in a hurry, but Director Chen was more anxious than him and kept looking at his watch while chatting.

It was not until it was completely dark and it was already 7:30 that they heard the sound of a motorcycle outside. They both stood up immediately at the same time.

"coming……"

"Go out and have a look..."

There were three motorcycles and six people, which was considered a small team.

Director Chen saluted the visitor and shook hands with each of them. After exchanging pleasantries, they headed straight for their destination. It was already dark and they didn't want to delay any longer.

Ye Yaodong also got into the sidecar and greeted the soldier sitting on it. The soldier just nodded, so he shut his mouth and said nothing.

These three sidecars were very similar to the one in his home. It could be said that there was no difference. If there was any difference, it was probably only the degree of newness or oldness. He couldn't help but feel a sense of joy that he had made a profit.

The motorcycle was going faster, and in a short while we arrived at the pier.

There were not many people on the dock at this time. It was dark and everyone had gone home. There is a limit to gossip. If no one came to deal with the situation until dark, the people would just go back home.

Only the nearby purchasing points are still busy, and some tractor carts are still waiting at the dock to try their luck and see if there are any fishing boats docking to pick up the goods and make some more money.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound of the motorcycle, and their eyes began to focus from afar, until the motorcycle stopped on the shore, and people surrounded it with flashlights as usual.

"Which boat?"

"Over there, where the lights are on on the boat."

Ye Yaodong quickly pointed out and led the way, leading everyone onto the boat.

Those people, all dressed in military uniforms, took out their flashlights and turned them on. In an instant, the dazzling light was brighter than the lights on the fishing boats.

His eyes lit up. Sure enough, all the good things were in the army. Even the flashlights were better than theirs.

"Right here, in the middle of this pile of fish..."

Ye Yaodong took the trouble to tell the soldiers where the bomb came from.

"Let's check it out first."

"It's dark now and there are few people..."

"Are you afraid it still has power?"

"It's hard to say."

While talking in low voices, these people put on gloves and first pulled the entire bomb out of the pile of fish intact, revealing its original appearance.

Ye Yaodong stretched his neck to look, then immediately hurried back to the cabin to get his camera.

He didn't take it out to take pictures during the day. He was thinking that after we reached the shore, he would have these people dig it out intact, lift it up, and then he would take a good picture. Unexpectedly, he delayed it until dark.

I was thinking that this would be a waste of time and I couldn't take any photos, but I didn't expect that their flashlights were even brighter. When all of them were turned on, they could clearly illuminate every corner of the deck.

Then it should be okay to take a photo, right?

While they had already fished out and lifted up the intact bomb, he seized the opportunity and took a close-up photo. In an instant, everyone turned to stare at him.

Ye Yaodong immediately gave an awkward smile and raised the camera in his hand, "I thought it was a rare opportunity to fish out a bomb, and it would only happen once in a lifetime, so I thought of taking a photo as a souvenir. This should be okay, right?"

“Don’t let it spread.”

"No, no, I'll just keep it for myself. Can you let me take another photo? I'm afraid the photo will be exposed..."

The captain was hesitant, and Director Chen smiled and interrupted, "This is indeed a small bomb. Comrade Ye Yaodong is quite knowledgeable. He was able to recognize it and report it in time instead of throwing it back into the sea. He just said that he wanted us to take it back for research. It might be useful. He is quite conscious. Will there be a targeted reward for him after we bring it back?"

"There should be some. We need to carry it back first. If there is a reward, we will contact you later."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late now, we have to carry it back and check it out first."

While they were talking, Ye Yaodong took another photo. Since there was no objection, he took it as a consent.

It would be best if there is a reward, but it doesn’t matter if there is none. It’s just a banner, a certificate, or a reward of 50 yuan.

While they were talking, several soldiers gave the spot a rough check.

"Is it convenient for me to just carry him back like this?"

"Bombs and explosives used mainly for military purposes have always been known for their long shelf life. This one might be good. Let's carry it to the shore first. The fishing boat will be shaken by the waves here, which is not very convenient."

Ye Yaodong watched them speak and then carried the bombs directly to the shore. The people standing on the shore and watching also came forward fearlessly.

The soldiers immediately warned them to stay away, saying that the weapon was still active and might explode if not handled properly, so they quickly retreated in fear.

He also went ashore and watched curiously as they gently placed it on the ground, then he went up to Director Chen and asked in a low voice.

"Can this still explode?"

"It's possible. The corrosion isn't that severe. If you want to go back to the sea, go ahead. You won't have anything to do next. They'll probably just do a quick inspection and move away. We won't be able to tell what's wrong."

"Don't worry, it's getting dark anyway, so it won't matter if we delay a little longer."

No one has left yet, why is he in such a hurry?
"Well, there will probably be a reward. It's written on the report I wrote. You can come back in half a month or a month, and it will probably be distributed. If there is, I will keep it for you and you can come and claim it."

Ye Yaodong nodded with a smile, it would be easier to get things done if he had someone in the court.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm not an outsider. I will apply for what I should apply for."

He was immediately happy.

Not an outsider!

That’s one of our own!
This can be done.

The people who were watching around didn't dare to come over when they saw they were inspecting. They just stretched their necks to look over here. As they watched, they got closer and closer, and only stood further away after being scolded.

However, these sailors did not need to stay any longer. After a quick inspection, they greeted Director Chen, saluted, and directly got on the motorcycle and took away.

After the work was done, Director Chen also said a few polite words and asked him to come over in a few days.

Before he could ride away on his bicycle, Ye Yaodong stopped him and asked him to wait. Then he went to the boat to get a basket, filled it with a large basket of good fish and gave it to him, asking him to take it back and eat.

As he watched the people go away, he took off the hat on his head, touched the sweat on his forehead from running, and fanned himself with the hat.

The scattered people around originally wanted to come up and ask him a few questions, but when they saw his big, shiny bald head, they were stunned for a moment, stopped, and then took two steps back and started pointing at him.

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone's reactions, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it.

Do you think he was just released?
Grass!
He glanced around with disdain, then swaggered back toward the shore and climbed onto the boat.

"Brother Dong Dong Dong...are you ready?"

"Okay, it's done. I'll go back in half a month to see if there are any rewards to claim. Have my dad and the others initiated a connection during this time?"

He shook his head. "No, no, no, no..."

"Well, you sort out the scattered cargo on the deck. I'm going to start the boat and go find the Harvest."

He nodded again, then took the initiative to collect the anchor.

Ye Yaodong grabbed a handful of cherries from the basket and went straight to the cockpit.

He connected the phone immediately. He was afraid that his father would worry because he hadn't passed on any news for such a long time. He had to tell them when the matter was settled, so he went to meet up with them right away.

Ye's father had been guarding in front of the cockpit. He was relieved after receiving the news and gave him another coordinate and asked him to drive over.

Having completed another patriotic act, Ye Yaodong was in a good mood. He drove the boat leisurely while grabbing a handful of cherries and stuffing them into his mouth.

I was thinking about it in my mind. After returning, I will discuss it with Aqing to see whether we should buy land and build a house in the city for her parents to live in first, or buy an existing old house.

Now that I have a big thigh to hold on to, I can feel a little more at ease and no longer have to worry about being out of reach.

However, it is not the time to buy a large number of houses. No one is selling a large number of houses now. They are all old houses that are in urgent need. It is normal for a family of more than ten people to squeeze into 20 or 30 square meters.

Most people are still waiting for housing allocation from their companies. If there is a quota available, how can an outsider like him get it? The quota will be consumed internally.

If he really wanted to buy one, he would have to go to a big city and buy a foreigner's house or a courtyard house in the capital, but he couldn't buy it just because he wanted to.

He was just a small fry in his previous life, and he is not a famous person now. He would be at a loss if he went to a big city. The most important thing is that it is convenient for him to buy a house in the city now, which is the safest way at the moment.

Damn, if I had known I should have done more research in my previous life and made some strategies in advance, so that I wouldn’t have to rack my brains now if I knew what to do after my rebirth, what to do first and what to do.

"Forget it, let's buy some wasteland first! Land is the foundation."

Land is cheap now, so just buy more and keep them. Anyway, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars at home. If he doesn't spend some, he will feel really uncomfortable. He always thinks about inflation. In a few decades, hundreds of thousands of dollars will not be enough to buy a toilet in a big city.

Buy a piece of land in the city and put it there first. At least now there is someone to protect you, so you can feel more at ease.

However, he has to express what he should express and give away part of it when the time comes.

In his previous life, he also knew where the busy places in the city were, so when he had time, he would go for a walk and grab them in advance.

He was thinking all the way and never stopped talking. After eating the cherries, he started to light a cigarette. The nicotine made his mind clearer.

If you want to make money and develop, you have to start from a familiar place, which is safer.

Now that he has Director Chen's support, even if he is halfway successful, if he buys a piece of land, he won't have to worry about the rest of his life.

The plan to retire at 40 is halfway to success!
Just thinking about it makes my face burst into smile. He really works so hard and is always striving towards his goal.

This small bomb that was fished out today could probably bring some benefits to Director Chen, right? At least it could help him stand out as soon as he took office and have a stronger presence.

You still have to hold on to your thighs tightly, and after half a month, you must bring a moving gift and visit on time.

After sorting out the things he had to do next, his thoughts became clear.

In the dark night, the sea water is darker than the night itself. At least there is the moon and stars hanging high in the sky, shining against the starry sky, while the area around the sea is so dark that it seems like a black hole that swallows people.

He had gotten used to it; the white ripples created by the moving fishing boats were the best light on the sea.

Tomorrow will definitely be another sunny day.

He continued to move forward on the sea following the coordinates, but the Harvest could not stay in the same place forever. It was also moving, but it would not deviate too far.

After driving for four or five hours and approaching the coordinates, he searched for a long time and contacted his father again. Only after half an hour did he see the light on the sea.

They contacted each other and asked for confirmation, and then the two boats slowly approached each other.

As they got closer, a group of people leaned against the side of the ship and asked them a lot of questions.

Ye Yaodong didn't know which question to answer, so he first recounted everything that happened after docking, and then asked the crew to go back first.

It was already past 12 o'clock, which was more than half a day longer than he expected. Almost the whole day was gone.

"Director Chen has been transferred to the city? That's really lucky. It's convenient to come to the city. You come and go anyway, and you come to the city more often than to the county." Ye's father was also full of surprise.

"He asked me to go find him in half a month. We should prepare some more things to bring with us then."

"It's my duty. I feel bad to always trouble him with things. He's a very nice person."

Ah Guang also had a big smile on his face. "Good fellow, you are getting better and better. You will meet people wherever you go. There are important people for you to meet everywhere."

"It was just a coincidence."

If it weren't for that pile of canned fish, they wouldn't have been able to achieve success.

They just complement each other.

"I'll go with you then?"

"Okay."

After paying attention to the big boss's affairs, they turned their attention back to the bombs.

"Did they really take the bomb back with them? What use could it have?"

"It's for research purposes, we don't know the details. Okay, it's good that it's done. We've been delayed for a whole day and have only cast one net. We have to start working."

This trip was quite rewarding.

Those who knew about it in advance were promoted to the city, and the reason for the promotion was related to themselves, which ensured a closer relationship in the future. This bomb also became a bond for them to continue their relationship.

"Okay, okay, everything went well. Now we have to get back to work." After saying this, Father Ye sent the others to continue working.

After Ye Yaodong distributed half of the peaches and cherries he bought on the shore, he asked people to paddle the two boats apart.

I also rearranged the shifts, with myself and two others taking turns at night, and the others taking over at 7 a.m.

As the distance between the two boats grew larger, the two fishing nets were lowered one after another in an orderly manner.

During the journey, the remaining cargo on the deck had long been cleaned up. Although the shifts had been arranged at this time, everyone did not go to rest immediately, but gathered around Chen Shi to talk.

It was a rare occasion that no one was disgusted and listened to him patiently word by word.

But such patience was limited. After listening to him for a while, everyone returned to their cabins with a headache.

There is nothing to do after getting off the internet, so he can go back to sleep for two or three hours in the middle of the night before getting up to work. The only one who really stays there is Ye Yaodong.

But he felt that getting up in the middle of sleep would be more painful, so it would be better to stay up all night.

The two boats were fishing at a distance. He had just finished doing something special and was now full of energy, with his eyes bright and focused on the sea.

It was not until he felt the ship shaking again that he stood up in surprise, pushed open the hatch and went out.

But in the dark night, nothing can be seen on the sea.

Keeping the attitude of believing it is better to believe it than not, he first went to the cabin to call the two boat workers and asked them to get ready.

"The boat just shook a bit. I suspect it's the same group of mosaics from the day before... Ugh, it's a manta ray..."

I blurted out the words while thinking about the mosaic during the day.

"Ah? Did the ship vibrate just now?"

"Really? I don't feel anything either?"

"You guys are sleeping like pigs, it's strange that you know. Anyway, prepare the net and put on the headlamp. I'll turn around and take a look. It's not as clear at night as during the day, so you better look carefully."

"Ok."

They both started to move, and he returned to the cockpit.

But before he could turn around, he saw the two people below had already spread the net and were ready to cast it.

For a moment, he didn't dare to change direction.

Without an underwater detector, he looked down and saw nothing but darkness, with only white spots brought up by the waves. The backs of the devils were all black, looking like mosaics during the day, but blending into the dark sea at night.

If he didn't look closely, he wouldn't be able to see it even if he went blind.

After thinking it over, he continued to work along the track, and he walked out and stood on the wheelhouse looking down.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, he could still clearly see that both of them were smiling.

He shouted loudly: "Is it in the net?"

"Medium! In the middle!"

"Yes, I just happened to see them swimming out."

The fishing nets were being pulled towards the side of the fishing boat, both nets were being pulled in.

I didn't expect that I could cast two more nets late at night, just enough to join those cast during the day.

It turns out that these fish have never left and, like the Harvest, have been floating in this sea area.

Originally when we docked during the day, I thought that if we had time, we could pull the goods in the fish warehouse ashore and sell them. Although it was just one net of goods, plus more than 800 kilograms of manta rays, it was not a lot, but it was not a small amount either.

But after finishing my work, I was eager to go home, so I put the matter behind me and didn't think about it for a while. But at that time, everyone was sorting out the goods there and probably closed their stall.

He didn't know if there would be anything left after the two nets were brought up. However, the sea was pitch black and the fish's back was also black, so he had no way of chasing it. Moreover, the catch from the two nets had to be brought up in batches, and the two boatmen were too busy to handle it.

Ye Yaodong asked the fishing boat to keep moving forward, and he went down to help first and also to see what the two nets had caught.
"Yes, my feeling is correct."

The darkness always magnifies people's senses infinitely.
