Return to the small fishing village of 1982

The sun was still very hot at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, so Ye Yaodong tried his best to walk in shaded places. Fortunately, Aguang's house was in the back hill, and his house was surrounded by trees, so it was quite cool.

When he passed by, they were still playing cards under the tree at the door, and only Aguang was lying on an armchair to enjoy the cool air.

"Why are you lying alone and not playing together?"

"You're so unlucky today, why are you still playing? If you don't play, save some money. What's wrong with you these two days? Why don't you play anymore?"

"I don't have any money. It's very shameful to reach out to my wife and ask for money all day long."

"That's true, but doesn't your family have a boat now? You can go to sea with your father and share some money, so you don't have to ask for it from your wife."

He thought about it too, but when he thought about what it would be like to struggle in the middle of the sea, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, his heartbeat quickened, and he thought about taking it easy first.

He made it up casually: "I have never been to the sea, so I am afraid of seasickness. If I go out and get seasick, my father will have to send me back. Isn't that asking for a beating? If there is a small boat, I can go to the surrounding islands. Turn, just give it a try.”

"This is not easy. My brother-in-law accidentally broke his hand a few days ago, and he has been unable to sail out recently. I will ask him to borrow a boat tomorrow, and we will buy our own diesel. I will take you out to sea and explore the nearby waters. lock up."

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "You can have this. Let's go to the isolated island and swim in the sea!"

"Ha~ You seem to be a little keen on Taohai lately!" A Guang looked at him with a chuckle.

"Of course, I've been so lucky these past two days. Yesterday I caught two blue crabs, and today I actually found a tiger stripe and a nest of snow clams. I tasted the sweetness, so I have to strike while the iron is hot."

"That's true. If I were as lucky as you, I would go there every day. It's no better than going to the Yujing Wharf to work odd jobs. Working at the wharf only costs more than 1 yuan a day, not even two yuan."

Yujing Wharf is a large wharf near the sea in their Shanhai Town. Big ships dock at Yujing Wharf. Many people in their village go to Yujing Wharf to do odd jobs and move goods.

Their town is located relatively close to the bay and strait. In addition to fishing boats, there are also many transport cargo ships. Therefore, their town also has many Taiwanese shops.

In this era, their town is more famous and lively than the county town. Many outsiders only know their town but not their county.

When their friends go out to play every day, they usually go to the town, not the county town.

He put his hands in his pockets and leaned on the tree trunk with one foot, "This sea fishing is just a matter of luck, and you can't go there every day. Why don't you ask first if you can borrow a boat?"

"Go and ask tomorrow morning. Say hello and go directly to buy diesel to sail the boat. It's so hot now that I'm too lazy to leave. I have to drink at night."

"Okay, then let me know when you borrow the boat. It will happen to be a high tide tomorrow. If there is no wind or waves tomorrow morning, it will be a good time to go to the isolated island."

"Okay, let's follow you and I'll see if I can change the situation?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Maybe it would be more effective for you to change your name. When will your father come back?"

"I don't know. He's only been gone for a month, and I'm not sure how many more months it will take for him to come back."

Although the "Regulations on the Protection of Aquatic Resources Reproduction" promulgated in February 1979 included provisions on closed fishing seasons, the closed fishing seasons for various fish species and different customized fishing gear were promulgated, which did not restrict the vessels in their waters at all.

There are no daily fishery inspections, so they go to sea as usual.

It was not until the marine summer fishing moratorium system was fully implemented in 1995 that they closed fishing in accordance with the regulations.

Their regulations are that the fishing moratorium is from May 1st to July 31st every year, and the sea ban opens on August 1st!

But, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Their boats secretly go out to sea to catch fish. Even if they are caught by the fishery administration, they just dump the seafood back into the sea. They can also afford this loss. After all, the fishery administration It’s not like we go on patrol at sea every day.

At this time, you can still fish at will in their waters. Once the big ships go to sea, they will not come back within a few months.

"Then you just wait until your father comes back."

"Hey, if you have two more days of leisure, I will go to Yujing Wharf to find some work in a few days. If you don't go to work, you will be out of money. It's better for you to have a good life and a hard-working wife, and I will still marry you. Not as good as my wife.”

"If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to marry a wife? Just gamble less and work harder to make money. If you have a wife, you can't rely on her to support you for the rest of your life. That would be useless."

A Guang put his hands behind his head and looked at him with a chuckle, "Why do you feel like you've been so diligent these past two days?"

"Seeing that my wife can't make a dollar a day, my conscience has discovered it, and my family will be divided after building a house, and I have to start supporting the family. I used to have a big tree to enjoy the shade, but I won't have this kind of treatment in the future. "

"That's right. We are separated. If you don't work harder, life won't be so easy. Do you want to go to the dock to find work together?"

I don't know where he grabbed a straw from, put it in his mouth and bit it, "I scared my family, and they asked the Taoist priest to take me in."

This is the truth!

"That's true. We all have more or less odd jobs, but you have always been the "third young master of the Ye family"!"

"Stop laughing at me. Do you have any cigarettes? Give me one. I haven't smoked in two days and my mouth is itchy!"

"Have you gotten to this point? Didn't you sell them for just over ten yuan in the past two days?"

"Leave it to my wife, I'm a good man!"

Aguang rolled his eyes, who didn't know who it was?

Ye Yaodong took a puff of cigarette before he felt comfortable. In fact, he wanted to quit smoking in the past two days, but found it a bit difficult. He had been addicted to smoking for decades, so he thought it was better not to embarrass himself. Anyway, being a good man has nothing to do with whether he smokes or not.

"Hey, Aguang said he would lend us a boat to take us out to sea tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

The four people who were playing cards turned to look at them.

"What's going to get better? You haven't seen enough of the sea since you were a kid?"

"Didn't you get enough sunshine today? Are you going to go out on the boat to get some sunshine?"

"Okay, why do you still need to borrow a boat?"

The fat man still refused to go, "Don't ask me for things like sunbathing or overeating. I can drink and play cards!"

Ye Yaodong said angrily: "You're so fat, you're lazier than me. There will be a tide tomorrow on the first day of the lunar month. Let's go to the isolated island to see if we can find some good things. Those uninhabited islands are not touched by anyone all year round, not to mention seafood and rocks. The shellfish must be huge and plentiful.”

Ah Wei said curiously: "You haven't been there yet, so you know about it?"

"Just say whether you want to go or not!"

This is his experience, how can it be false? I'm not sure about seafood, but there will definitely be no shortage of snails and shellfish.

"Whether we can borrow a boat is still a question. I'll see about it tomorrow. If you can borrow it, let's go together. Everyone will have a companion, otherwise I won't be free in a few days." A Guang said seriously.

"Okay, let's go together."

The four people playing cards except Fatty, Xiaoxiao and Ah Zheng all participated in the game. Ah Wei said he didn't want to go because he didn't receive many goods yesterday and he didn't want to join in the fun.
