Except for Ye Yaodong who left three people on the beach to cut the jellyfish, they each left two people.
It was already ten o'clock. Ye Yaodong and his crew drove the boat straight to the natural trench. They ignored all the jellyfish they encountered along the way that were floating on the sea.
They no longer care about those little things now, so they just leave them for the right person.
Once they arrived at the destination, they didn't just pick up all the food one by one, but rushed back to eat. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
After sorting out the fishing nets, one person drove the boat while the other cast the nets. They sailed along the surrounding islands and then headed back at a constant speed.
The three boats were spaced far apart from each other to prevent their nets from getting tangled together, which would have been disastrous.
Just after they drove out of the trench for a distance, they ran into a large ship head-on. The ship had already passed them by, but none of them paid any attention to it.
Unexpectedly, the boat turned around and chased after them after a while.
Ye Yaodong also noticed it.
"Fuck, are you thinking of robbing us because there are only a few people on our boat? Oh my god, why are there people like this everywhere..."
Cursing, he quickly turned around and ran towards the two boats behind him. When he got closer, the two boats also discovered that he was being chased and hurried to meet them.
The three boats were circling around each other at a distance not too far from each other. The boat that caught up with them also discovered that they were in the same group and quickly retreated.
If they don't run away, they are afraid of getting themselves implicated.
Ye Yaodong and his companions did not chase after them, as their fishing boat was still dragging a net of jellyfish behind it. The jellyfish were too heavy to be pulled up by manpower or the boat's net-lifting machine, and if they stopped, they would sink to the bottom of the sea, so they had to keep sailing.
"Damn it, they're lucky we're working on it."
"There is no peace on the sea anywhere."
"Why else would there be so many pirates? Let's go, hurry back, it's useful for us to stick together."
Today's episode did serve as a reminder to them. Fortunately, when they go out, they originally planned to act in a group. Nothing is more important than safety.
By the time they dragged the net of jellyfish back to the beach, it was already past 12 o'clock.
They saw that there were not many people on the shore, there seemed to be only some women, but there was no one on the beach, and no one on the boat floating on the sea. The chopped jellyfish on the neighboring boat were still on board and no one was unloading them.
After Ye Yaodong got off the boat, he looked at his father in confusion, "Is the fight over?"
"That's about right. The people in the village are chasing the group from other villages and beating them. I think they are almost out of the village."
“So tough.”
"It's always like this when there's a conflict. It's good that they didn't kill each other. This job is for you. You're quick. Let's go and pull up all the jellyfish."
Ye Yaodong looked at the few jellyfish left and the baskets full of chopped jellyfish, and said quickly, "I'll watch here. You carry the jellyfish back to the educated youth camp first, so that those people won't be jealous when they come back from the fight and see how many we have."
"That makes sense. Or maybe they think we stole all that cargo from other ships. Anyway, we'll have to carry it all back after we finish packing it up."
"Well, carry it back to the educated youth site first, and then send a tractor to the educated youth site to collect more in the afternoon."
The others thought what he said was right. They would have to carry the things back first anyway, sooner or later. So they followed his example and carried the things together in pairs along the small path to the educated youth site.
Some women saw it but didn't take it seriously. After all, it was almost time for dinner, and they thought it was the catch they had caught that morning, so they hurried to carry it back for dinner.
Ye Yaodong put on his sun hat and continued to process the jellyfish on the beach. Watching them carrying them back and forth, he felt that it was too inconvenient to be outside.
If they could just take a cart and push it back in their own village, there would be no need to carry it back and forth like this.
When everyone had almost finished moving, those people had finished their fight and came back one after another. Some of them had a lot of injuries on their bodies and were spitting and cursing.
Ye Yaodong and his gang ignored them and went about their business.
Only Lu Hongwei from the Lu family saw them and came over to say hello.
"Have you just landed? You have a good harvest today. I saw you carrying a few baskets into the village just now."
"We're lucky today, and we've got a good harvest. It's time for dinner now, so we'll carry the cuts back home and sell them together in the evening. You guys have been fighting for more than two hours, and it's really time-consuming. Will they come over in the afternoon?"
“Who knows? If these bastards have the guts to come over again, we won’t be polite to them. They even dared to run wild in our village. Damn…” After Lu Hongwei cursed loudly, he realized that it was not a good idea to curse at them, so he stopped.
"I'm sorry, it's really annoying. Okay, I won't bother you anymore. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Uh... wait..." Ye Yaodong saw that he was about to leave after he finished speaking, so he quickly stopped him, "Can I borrow a cart from you? It's quite tiring to carry all these baskets back, haha."
Since he has said so, of course I won’t be polite to him.
"Okay, I'll push the cart over here later. If you want to use it, just take it."
"Thank you very much..."
There are still good people!
"It would be easier with a cart." Father Ye was also happy.
Father Pei also nodded, "This family is okay."
Everyone was busy chatting and dividing the food. By the time they finished and went back to eat, it was already past 2 o'clock, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
If they went to trawling at this time, it would be too late to sell the goods. They had originally agreed to come back to collect the goods at four o'clock, so they simply left one person at home on each boat to sell the goods and cook the jellyfish blood at the same time.
After eating, the others went out to sea without stopping. It was a bit late at this time, and it would definitely be dark by the time they came back. Moreover, they had to tow the fish back and deal with them, which was too labor-intensive.
Ye Yaodong was lighting a fire while thinking that it would be too rushed to go out to sea three times a day. It was already hard physical work, and they had to catch and cut the fish, which was already tiring enough.
And it’s not just one or two days of fishing, and we don’t know how long we’ll have to fish next, so it’s best to keep going twice a day, but don’t over-exploit.
Just as he was dragging his chin, looking at the fire, and about to fall asleep, he suddenly saw a pair of women's feet next to him.
He woke up instantly, turned around and saw that this was the girl from the Lu family from yesterday.
The girl from the Lu family stood beside him and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm here to bring you some food. Didn't you go out to sea this afternoon?"
"Oh, thank you. The tractor will come to collect the goods in the afternoon, so we will leave two people here to watch over them and fetch water and chop firewood."
"Well, who are you from?"
"Earthlings."
The girl burst out laughing, "Everyone knows."
Ye Yaodong just said it casually out of habit, but he didn't expect to make people laugh? People nowadays are really simple and unpretentious.
The main thing is that if you say this to a girl decades later, she might just roll her eyes at you.
"My name is Lv Mingmei, what's your name?"
"Ye Yaodong, your name is quite nice, sunny and bright."
Lu Mingmei smiled brightly, "It means the sun is shining."
"Well, okay, thank you for the food, I have to get busy."
Well…
Lu Mingmei still had a smile on her face when she heard him ask her to leave. She was stunned for a moment.
Ye Yaodong took the water spinach and tomatoes from her basket, put them on the ground, then turned around and lifted the lid of the pot.
He was really busy, the water was boiling.
"Shall I help you?"
"Don't you have to be busy at home?"
"Uh... yes, I'll be leaving first then."
"Well, take care."
Ye Ersao was killing fish in a corner. She looked up, frowned, looked surprised for a moment but didn't take it seriously, then lowered her head and went back to doing her own thing.
Anyway, her job is to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for more than a dozen people, and do the laundry. Of course, her wages are divided into three parts, and the bosses of the three boats have to pay her wages.
Ye Yaodong didn't take this episode to heart.
Unexpectedly, this girl came to deliver vegetables every day. Because they had agreed to pick up the goods at 4-5 pm, and he was also at the educated youth point, he didn't expect to meet her every time in the next two days, and they even chatted for a while.
No one took it seriously at first, but unexpectedly, on the third day, when Lu Mingmei came to deliver the food, she also brought a few eggs. After she left, Ye Ersao couldn't help but complain.
"Could this girl be attracted to A-Dong?"
"ah?!"
Everyone was surprised by her shocking words.
Ye Yaodong also widened his eyes, "No way? You've only said a few words?"
"There are so many things I like after just one look, you guys really didn't notice?"
"Isn't this just a few words? Don't talk nonsense. Dongzi is already married, don't let others accuse you of being a hooligan."
Mrs. Ye shut up instantly, but after a while, she couldn't help but say, "I just feel that the girl seems to have such an intention. Women understand women best. Her eyes are obviously different. Ah Dong is fair, thin and tall. Not only do young girls like to look at him, but also the eldest and young wives like to take a few more glances, okay?"
Ye Yaohua said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. This is a lie that has no basis in reality. You talkative women have made it sound very real."
Ye's father couldn't help but ask Ye Yaodong, "Does that girl know that you are married?"
"I don't know... No, I mean I don't know!"
"They'll be over tomorrow, so tell them what's going on. Don't give them hope. We won't be here for long, so don't cause any trouble."
"knew."
Ye Yaodong frowned, touched his chin, and sighed, "Alas, why do you have to be so good-looking? Being too handsome is also quite annoying..."
Father Ye's mouth twitched, he glared at him, shook his head and walked away.
After hearing this, everyone looked at him with disgust and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
After Ye Yaodong worried about himself for a while, he put the matter behind him. He had no feelings towards her and his wife was a good wife at home.
