Ye Yaodong poked with the needle while muttering, "Don't move... It will be fine soon... Just a moment..."
“Why isn’t it red?”
"Done~"
After puncturing the fish belly, he put the grouper into the bucket.
Father Ye stood by and smiled at his aunt the whole time.
The Eastern Grouper is rare in their sea area. I don’t know where this trap came from. It is really an unexpected surprise and a great bargain.
"Stop looking at it and get back to work. Oh... do you still want this broken trap? It's broken like this, just throw it back into the sea?"
Father Ye immediately snatched the trap and said, "Yes, why don't you want it? You prodigal son, why don't you take it home, wash it, and mend it before you can use it? And it's not torn badly, so it's cheaper to mend it than to make one. And one more trap can also catch more fish. Why don't you want it for free?"
"Okay, then you ask my mother to wash and mend the clothes. Ah Qing needs to rest and can't do anything."
"You are the only one who loves your wife."
"That's right! When I'm old, I still count on her to take care of me. My son is unreliable." Ye Yaodong said as he picked up the row of hooks that were half-collected and hanging on the edge of the boat and continued to collect them.
"Your son is unreliable? You are also a son."
"As for me, no matter how unreliable I am, I am more than enough to provide for your retirement."
"Wait until you've done it."
"Tsk~ Who are you looking down on..."
Father Ye also took his place and continued to sort the fish. When he saw some living crabs and shrimps falling out of the broken traps in the basket, he picked them up and threw them into the sea. While they were still alive, he could throw them back into the sea to continue raising them until they grew up.
It's so small and has no meat, so it's useless to keep it, so keep the big one and discard the small one.
All that was left were two baskets of hooks, which were collected quickly. Ye Yaodong only took half an hour to collect all the goods and hooks.
There were two more baskets of fish at his feet, the smallest of which weighed at least one kilogram, but there were not many good ones, and there were all kinds of fish.
"It's done. Everything is put away. Now go finish off the squid and then we can call it a day and go home."
"First, carry the baskets you have picked over there and stack them up. Don't leave them here where they get in the way. There are so many traps here that there's almost no room to put them. Also, stack the hooks up, otherwise they'll take up too much space."
"Hmm... this basket of water fish is too small..."
"There's also half a basket of smaller ones there, all caught by the trawl nets, so they can only be left to dry. Let's see how much this basket can sell for, and take the cheaper ones back to dry."
They are fishermen, and they have nothing else at home except dried fish. All year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter, there will be a bowl of dried fish on every table every day, which is a great delicacy to go with rice or wine.
After all the baskets of goods were stacked up, Ye Yaodong went to drive the boat while his father continued to sort them.
There are really too many miscellaneous things on the ship today, more than ever before.
There were two baskets of squid, one basket caught with a semi-trawler, one basket of fish caught with a longline, abalone caught by Ye Yaodong, ten baskets of hooks and four rows of ground nets. The boat was almost full and there was no place to step.
When Ye Yaodong sailed back to the buoy where he had dropped the branch, the squids had gathered again, but after they caught a lot of fish in the net, they could no longer gather together.
In line with the principle of not wasting anything, Father Ye still used the hand-held net to scoop up fish in twos and threes, intending to not let go of any fish he saw.
Ye Yaodong tidied up the net and put it away. He didn't plan to fish anymore. He could only catch a few fish with one net. It was a waste of time. He might as well go back directly.
"That's enough, that's enough, don't fish anymore, you won't get much even if you work yourself to death, these few are not enough."
"After you've fished, now that you've seen it, don't waste it. The sun hasn't set yet, so fish a little longer."
Ye Yaodong shook his head and let his father do as he pleased. Let him fish as much as he wanted. Anyway, A Zheng’s small boat had not come over yet, so let him fish for a while longer.
Father Ye said as he fished: "It looks like we don't need to come tomorrow. We can just come back in a few days to remove the branches. Do you want to take this opportunity to go into the water again? We won't be here for many days. It would be a shame if we don't get more."
Ye Yaodong raised his head and glanced at the sun which had already set in the west. The sun sets lately lately, so he estimated that if he went down, the sun would be almost set when he came back up.
He nodded reluctantly, "Okay, then I'll go into the water again."
Father Ye glanced at him and wanted to say something but hesitated and took it back.
Ye Yaodong took off the masked hat on his head again and changed into the half-dried clothes that he had placed there to dry. After he had all his equipment, he jumped into the water again.
He didn't know if it was because the sun was about to set and the water was a little cold, but when he was floating up, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
I want to endure it, but it hurts a bit, I can't endure it, the surging feeling is so strong...
When he was halfway up, he changed direction and swam to the other side of the boat, intending to solve the problem right there in the water.
He floated to the surface and saw that there was no one around but his boat and his father on the other side of the boat, so he took off his pants.
Since he was floating on the water, he was lying on his back, facing the sun, otherwise he would not be able to hold his breath for so long with his face underwater.
Then after a very long time, I don’t know if it was because of the novelty or the underwater pressure, there were several local tremors, and then they subsided.
It was novel because it was the first time he put Ollie Gei in the water...
After brewing for a while, he suddenly heard a boom and his stomach dropped, and he knew that the goods were ready.
Refreshing
But what Ye Yaodong didn't know was that they floated up in an instant...
He was lying on his back, and they appeared in front of him all of a sudden. He was so scared that he didn't even pull up his pants and swam desperately on his back towards his head.
Why are you afraid? First, it’s dirty, and second, you’re afraid you’ll eat it…
Just then, a boat suddenly came up right behind him.
"Fuck, Dongzi, what are you doing in the water with your bare ass?"
Ye Yaodong's old face instantly turned red...
Damn, when did their ship get so close
He quickly pulled up his pants and instinctively turned his head to look, but what he saw was not them, but a brown thing. He was so scared that he immediately closed his mouth and turned around to swim forward.
All he could hear just now was the rattling sound of his own boat's engine. He was thinking about it the whole time and didn't pay attention to his surroundings. He only looked around when he was taking off his pants. He really didn't know when their boat approached.
Grass!
"Ah! Shit, Dongzi, you pooped in the water!"
Ye Yaodong: “…”
Could you please stop shouting so loudly
"Dongzi, your butt is so white, hahaha~"
“Hahaha, what the hell~ You actually pooped in the sea! Hahaha~”
With his Aoli Gei behind him, Ye Yaodong didn't even turn his head and climbed onto the boat quickly, pretending he didn't hear anything.
He breathed a sigh of relief after going up.
The result is that I can only hear laughter in my ears, damn!
“Hahaha~”
