Ye's father and Lin's father helped to pick up the goods on the boat, dividing the work and working together.
The three people lying on the ground didn't dare to make a sound. Although their hearts were bleeding, they were afraid that they would be kicked a few more times if they made a sound. The loss of their things was inevitable.
He could only lie there, staring at them with secret hatred as they were moving the things.
Ye Yaodong and his companions would never even look at them, they were just dogs that had lost their home.
But Lin Guangyuan was different. He felt that he had fought very impressively just now. "Uncle, look, they are still not convinced and dare to glare at me. I will teach you a lesson and you can do your own thing."
"Hey, where did this violent boy come from?" Xiaoxiao was checking on the boat to see if there was anything that could be moved. When he heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"The Lin family."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him, and after seeing him kick twice, he grabbed the back of his collar to stop him from kicking again.
Teenagers like to fight and get violent, so don't let them learn bad habits. There are many street thugs now who like to use these teenagers to do illegal things.
Kids this young really idolize those street urchins, thinking they are cool, have money, and have a bunch of brothers or subordinates.
"You're still addicted, aren't you?"
Lin Guangyuan smiled flatteringly, "No, I just saw that they were still unwilling to accept it and dared to glare at me, which shows that I haven't taught them a lesson enough."
Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder, took him in his arms and walked towards the side of the boat, "I'm telling you, you can't get into fights when you get home. What happened today was also a reason. Fighting has no future. Those street thugs, in this era, will end up in jail."
"But we can't rule out the possibility that he was just fooling around and came to his senses halfway through. Since you didn't go to junior high school and don't want to study anymore, ask your family to find you a handicraft to learn. Knowing a handicraft is better than farming."
Lin Guangyuan tilted his head and looked at Ye Yaodong, "Aren't you also a street thug?"
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and looked at him speechlessly, "Where did the street thugs come from in the 1970s? They were all digging for food in the fields, okay? It's only in recent years that the educated youth have returned to their hometowns, and there are more street thugs. I am a decent citizen!"
Lin Guangyuan was very skeptical. He was not a child anymore and he could still remember the past few years. His uncle was not a productive person.
"I'm just a little lazy and don't want to work. If I don't need physical strength to work, how could the little food the brigade distributed in the past few years be enough to eat? It's gone in a few pees, so I have to save my physical strength..."
As he was talking, he almost believed that not working was the reason why he couldn't eat enough...
Even Lin's father began to reflect on himself, wondering if he had misunderstood him a few years ago. At that time, every household was indeed hungry. How could they do physical work if they were hungry
Only Ye's father curled his lips and looked at him with disgust.
No one knows his son better than his father. From childhood to adulthood, doesn't he know what kind of character his son is? It's only in the past year that his character has changed.
Lin Guangyuan thought about it and nodded seriously, "Yes, a few years ago my father used his connections to arrange for me to go to the fields to pick peanuts. It was a lucrative job and everyone was scrambling for it. My mother even sewed a big inner pocket on my clothes."
"Right, so you have to listen to what I tell you. Being a gangster is also risky. You never know when you might lose arms and legs or become disabled..."
"Uncle-in-law, you are getting more and more exaggerated..."
"How is that an exaggeration? Didn't our village carry back a man with a torn tendon the day before yesterday? That's why I've been telling you to be obedient." Father Lin also took over the conversation and looked at Lin Guangyuan warningly.
"Ask someone in a few days to see if there is any work for you to do. You can be an apprentice."
Lin Guangyuan looked here and there and remained silent.
Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, crawl over there."
"We are going back to our own boat too," said Zheng.
"We'll drive a little further and divide the goods in half. We'll divide them in half after we sell the diesel engines. Each person can get a few dozen yuan."
They didn't act pretentiously and just nodded.
"I don't know if there's anything wrong with your boat. Pay more attention to it when you sail it later, and ask someone to come check it out when you return."
"I know."
After dividing the squids, they returned to work around the island. Ye Yaodong first sent his father-in-law and Lin Guangyuan to the island and let them continue picking up squids before returning to the sea to catch squids.
Because the ship had been delayed for quite a long time, it was already nearly 2 o'clock, and they didn't know how much cargo they had missed.
They didn't even have time to cook lunch and they hurried there. After all, they wouldn't starve to death if they skipped a meal. The most important thing was to get the goods, otherwise they would suffer a big loss today.
Ye Yaodong and his friends returned to the buoy where the branches were placed, and looked at the squids crowded together under the sea. Before the boat had completely stopped, Ye's father hurriedly cast the net.
During the operation, they would occasionally look up at the ship far out on the sea, which was moving little by little.
The two of them did not stop for half the afternoon. Time was running out, and they both wanted to pull more nets before going down the mountain. Ye Yaodong did not mention the idea of taking a rest today.
Seeing that the boat was still empty and there were only a few baskets of squid, how could he bear to rest? He also knew the importance of things.
It was not until dusk that the father and son collected the nets with regret. There were not many squids under the sea, and they were all scattered. There were only a few pounds in one net. Squids only lay their eggs at a specific time and not all day long.
Both father and son rubbed their sore arms and said, "Let's go back to the island and pick up your father-in-law, mother-in-law and Ayuan. It's time to go back. It will be dark by now."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong looked at the boat on the sea in the distance. It had drifted quite far away, but there was another boat next to it, which seemed to be pulling that boat.
Never mind.
He withdrew his gaze and drove the boat to the island to pick up people.
As soon as the ship docked, he asked his father to stay on the boat while he went into the water to help carry the cargo.
As a result, he found that there were not only squids, but the two sacks he left behind were also full of shellfish from the stone walls.
It turned out that his mother-in-law saw that there were too many seabirds and it was difficult to pick up squids on the beach, so she gave the job to his father-in-law, who went to dig and pry on the stone wall himself. Unexpectedly, it didn't take much time to pry open two sacks. She was so happy that she kept saying that the beach was the best...
"If you're fine, then come again. I'll take you to the island next time. It won't be a hassle to use our own boat. It's just a matter of convenience."
Mother Lin smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will cause trouble. I'll talk to you next time."
"Where's Ayuan?"
"He ran up the mountain. Ayuan~ is back home~"
Lin Guang responded from a distance, and after a while, he saw him jumping off the reef.
"Uncle, I picked up a lot of seabird eggs! There are so many on the trees in the forest!"
"Let me see. Wow, it's a full bucket. You're awesome. How many trees did you climb?"
“Hehe~”
"It's a great tonic! Well done, you have a good harvest today."
"Haha, your beach is still the best..."
Father Lin smiled and said to Mother Lin: "You have said this many times."
"I had only heard about it before, but I came here today and I think it's great. At least I can be more diligent and don't have to worry about food."
"Let's go back. The sun has already set. It will be dark again if we go back. We are tired after a day, so we should go back early and rest." Ye Yaodong took the lead in carrying a sack of shellfish, which was quite heavy.
