Everyone gathered around Captain Chen to show their concern, and no one had time to blame or criticize him. Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt even more guilty. If he hadn't been thinking of getting some bait to fish, he wouldn't have almost suffocated the other person.
But who could have imagined that this man would suddenly go against his usual path, change direction, and float up under his fishing net, just in time to be caught in the net. Fortunately, he didn't struggle for too long and was fished out in time.
However, if they had not been caught in the net, Ye Yaodong would not have said much, and the four of them would not have been able to finish work and rest early, and would have continued to be exploited until the feeling of dizziness worsened.
He said to Captain Chen, "I'm sorry, please bear with it. I think you'll be even more dizzy and may even vomit if you sail back."
Captain Chen nodded.
The noise of the machines made it impossible to hear the voices on the surrounding fishing boats, but one could still tell how agitated they were and wondered what had happened.
It was not until I saw them catching a person from afar that I understood the reason for the commotion.
But soon the fishing boat was heading back, and everyone was wondering if something serious had happened, whether the person who came from the Internet had died, or if they needed to go back and get emergency treatment.
Or maybe what was fished out was a corpse, and it had nothing to do with the previous commotion, but he just felt it was bad luck, so he planned to drive back to bury the person
But that’s not right. There is a small island not far away. Wouldn’t it be easier to tow it there and bury it
The villagers on the surrounding fishing boats were making all kinds of guesses and whispering to each other. They couldn't help but imagine many possibilities, and then followed closely out of curiosity.
The boats had all gone back, so there was nothing more to watch and they could only go back to see what happened next.
Most of the fishing boats around the coast are setting out their nets, and it's okay if they don't catch anything for two or three days. It's a rare occasion to have so many big shots, so of course they keep up with current affairs.
The boat was heading back against the wind. Originally, the people could barely accept the shaking of the boat, but now the shaking on the return trip was much more severe than in the morning. They all began to lie down and vomit again.
And there were four fewer people standing there upright. Apart from him and his father, only the village chief and Secretary Chen were still standing firm.
That’s right, there are four missing!
Not only Captain Chen couldn't help but vomit due to dizziness, the other three soldiers also vomited while lying on the side of the ship. Although they only vomited once, it also showed that they were not in good condition at the moment, otherwise the physical fitness of ordinary soldiers should be very good.
By the time he drove the boat to the shore, the officials were already vomiting like dead dogs, and he couldn't help but give them a reminder.
"Leaders, if you have to go out to sea for salvage tomorrow, you can buy some seasickness medicine in advance."
Those people could hardly speak now and could only nod their heads repeatedly. Then, with the help of the village chief and the village secretary, and chatting with each other, they slowly got off the boat.
All the things that were salvaged from the boat were carried off the boat by Ye Yaodong and his father.
At this time, the shore was already full of villagers who came to watch the fun. When they saw the fishing boats approaching the shore from afar, they ran to tell each other. Now they all crowded together and stretched their necks to see what had been caught.
But Ye Yaodong was very cunning. He took a piece of rag from the cabin and covered the bamboo basket so that no one could see what was fished out.
He is doing this for the good of everyone. Otherwise, if everyone is tempted by money and blinded by greed, what should we do if unnecessary trouble arises? Now is a period of severe crackdown.
"Huh? Why is it covered? What did you get?"
"Why are you still hiding it? What treasure did you get?"
"Adong, what did you get? Hurry up and let us see it. Why are you still covering it up? Let us all have a look!"
"Yes, yes, let's take a look, open it quickly."
"Let me show you what treasures we have found..."
These villagers were either elderly people or women, with a small number of young and middle-aged men. Most of them had gone out to sea to make money. They all stretched their necks and shouted.
They dared not act rashly towards those officials, but they were still polite towards the villagers.
Ye Yaodong waved his hands and shouted, "What are you looking at? They are just some broken copper and iron, broken vases and bowls. I don't even want to bother selling them as garbage. Only they treat them as treasures and want to take them back for research."
"Make way, make way, don't get in the way here, everyone go home, there's nothing to see, joining in the fun will only delay your ability to make money..."
Secretary Chen also said to the villagers: "Everyone, please make way. Don't crowd together. Let us pass. The leaders are going back."
Ye Yaodong and his son placed a basket of things they had salvaged on the cart, and then placed the bucket with only a little tea left in it and the empty bucket of mung bean soup on the cart, and pushed the cart beside the leaders.
After getting ashore, these people turned from dead dogs into dragons, full of energy, and then walked towards his house, as if his house had become their base camp.
Shouldn’t you go to the village committee
Is it because his house is close to the sea
The villagers followed closely behind, including those who came from the sea. A large group of people were preparing to go to his house.
How could this be allowed with so many people gathering at his house
He quickly asked Secretary Chen, "Secretary Chen, isn't it better to push these things to the village committee? Then you can arrange for the leaders to take them back. There's no need to go to me. I'm building a new house there these days, and it's dusty and messy everywhere. It's not good for the leaders to eat dust there."
What a great excuse! This house was built just in time.
"As for these PLA comrades, you can arrange a tractor and I will take them to the town clinic for oxygen."
Secretary Chen smiled and looked at the county official, "What do you think?"
"That's fine. We'll definitely be here tomorrow anyway. The winding mountain road to the county will take too much time. They're also dizzy and may get carsick. The hospital in town is close, so it's more convenient. As for food and drink at night..."
The village chief at the side quickly took over the conversation, "Don't worry, leader, food and drink won't be a problem in the village, we will arrange it. You can just stay at Ye Laosan's house at night. Adong and the others have moved out anyway, and there are many houses there, so it's okay to leave them empty. It's hot now, so it's good to sleep on a mat on the floor."
Ye Yaodong glanced at the village chief who had taken on the job for his father, and agreed with a smile. It was not a problem to settle a few soldiers.
Ye's father also said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, the PLA comrades can stay at our old home at night. There are two empty rooms, enough for them to sleep in."
The leaders were also very satisfied with their suggestion: "Okay, then I'll trouble your family to take care of these PLA comrades. The county will provide them with food and accommodation subsidies when the time comes."
"Okay, okay...it's okay. It's okay."
A large group of people went straight to the village, and Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a good thing that everyone habitually goes to his house, and he doesn't want his house to become their temporary base.
Not only does he have a baby, he also has a small infant at home. His mother and wife are busy enough taking care of the child and managing the workers' food and drink. There is no need to find more work for them to do and serve these uncles.
After pushing the things to the village committee and unloading them, Ye's father pushed the cart home, while Ye Yaodong took four soldiers on a tractor to the town hospital.
Along the way he used his eloquence to chat with them and get close to them. It turned out that these people were navy men who lived in the same province. One was married and the other three were unmarried.
But that was all he knew. When he asked other questions, they all kept their mouths shut, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off. They wouldn't tell him where the camp was or where they came from.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions. What if they mistook him for a spy? He was just curious.
After breathing oxygen, their Captain Chen looked much more normal and he said that his dizziness had eased, but he would have to come back for oxygen tomorrow.
The other three also clearly looked a little better in mental state.
"You guys are really working too hard, aren't you? There's nothing like this in training, right?"
"Our superiors asked us to cooperate with our work!"
stubborn!
"So you're going to continue salvaging tomorrow?"
The three of them looked at Captain Chen, who said, "If necessary, we will do our best to cooperate as long as our lives are safe."
I admire you!
Ye Yaodong could only admire him, his awareness was so high, no wonder people said our country’s soldiers were YYDs!
"Okay, I suggest you don't try to be stubborn. Also, I'm sorry about what happened today."
"It's not your fault. You fishermen have to make a living, and your whole family needs to eat and drink. It's normal for you to want to catch a few fish during your free time. It was just that I was not in good condition at the time and didn't pay close attention."
Listen, listen, so considerate, so understanding, they are indeed the people's soldiers!
"Good brothers, come on, I'll treat you to a meal." Ye Yaodong waved his hand and said heroically.
Captain Chen laughed, "No need, let's go back to the village first, it's not time for dinner yet..."
"Why are you being polite? We didn't have lunch. We just had some water and peed twice. I'm starving, and you guys must have vomited all your food too."
"The officials are really stupid. They didn't make any preparations, but they hurriedly ordered us to go out to sea. They only let us work but didn't care about food. If I hadn't had the courage to stop you, you would still be soaking in the water. Man is made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. Come on, come on, let me treat you to our local special snacks."
"Really, we can just buy some steamed buns later."
"Steamed buns? Where are the steamed buns? We don't have steamed buns here, only flatbreads. Come on, come on, stop dawdling like a girl..."
"You guys have it in Minnan Lake, right? The Japanese definitely don't have it... Five bowls please... Five plain pancakes with oil cakes... Do you have fried buns?"
"That's enough, eat first..."
"I'll have five fried buns first, eat more..."
The five men ate up all the food they ordered. Ye Yaodong even burped and patted his stomach. "It feels so good to be full. Is that enough for you? Do you want some more?"
"That's enough. That's enough."
