"Although you can earn one or two thousand a month, the same expenses are also huge. Don't underestimate it. You need money for food, drink, and housing."

Lin Xiuqing said: "That's better than being at home. If you have a little bit of one or two thousand yuan left, even one or two hundred yuan is much better."

Father Ye looked at Ye Yaodong hopefully, "Then our family can also send two of them out?"

"Send me, send me..."

Ye Yaodong glared at Ye Chenghu who was making noises, "What's the matter with you? Isn't it just for your future that I'm working so hard for you now? As for asking you to wash dishes when you are only eight or nine years old? You don't even know how you died.

.Shut up, do you have the right to interrupt what the adults are talking about? If you keep talking, go stand in the corner."

Ye Chenghu immediately shut up and lowered his head to eat.

Father Ye explained: "I mean you can send your eldest and second brother's children out. Anyway, your family has a big business now, so you don't need to send your children out to make money."

"It's not that simple. It's chaotic abroad. Who knows how much hardship you have to endure to earn so much money? How can it be so easy if you are of a different race or from a different place? I heard that those who smuggled there are all fighting against gangsters.

Workers have to be bullied by the locals and have to hide everywhere to avoid being discovered and sent directly back to the country."

"Then...it really doesn't seem that easy."

Father Ye gave up the idea immediately, he was not that cruel.

"If they can really earn so much, they will have to raise their tails?" Ye Mu pursed her lips.

"I just sent you away a few days ago. I still don't know what it is like. What should I say now?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "Then we have to ensure that they get there safely, and then they can make a lot of money and send it back, and everyone will be happy."

Father Ye nodded in agreement, "Yes, if it's so easy to earn, they will be able to repay all the money they borrowed in a few months."

His 500 yuan.

"Then you should eat more fasting and recite the Buddha's name, and recite more Amitabha Buddha."

Lin Xiuqing said with emotion: "I didn't expect wages abroad to be so high. No wonder they dare to ask for 6,000 smuggling fees. They can earn one or two thousand a month. Even 10,000 is not too much."

"I heard that the price was seven thousand. I thought it was from my family, and my second uncle and the others kept saying good things, so I discounted it."

"Then if they really go abroad and send money back, the people in the village will go crazy and run away with them. One to two thousand people a month will go crazy."

"Don't think too simply. How can it be so easy to send money across countries? Wait for them to work abroad for three years and get a black card."

"Oh, I also thought that everyone wants to go abroad to work and earn money, and no one raises kelp anymore."

"No, the benefits of kelp are right in front of us. It's all a lie to work abroad. From what I heard, there are so many people in the village, and most of them are rushing to breed it."

Ye Yaodong is not worried about this. There are more down-to-earth people, and it is not so easy for the two children sent abroad to see results.

"Sure enough, those who like to use their brains are easy to make money." Father Ye muttered.

Ye's mother didn't believe it was so easy to make money, "Just wait and see, I haven't earned the money yet, and everything I say is false. If I say it so happily now, I won't know anything by then."

"What are you talking about? Can't you say something nice?" Father Ye was unhappy.

"Don't let anyone tell the truth anymore? I just can't bear to see how high-profile they are, what they do is obviously illegal, and what they do is so glorious. They seem to have made a lot of money in their pockets. Everyone feels that they are superior to others. I

Not as majestic as her."

Ye Yaodong lowered his head to eat, not caring about his mother's petty thoughts.

I just feel like I have been sisters-in-law for decades. I have been comparing each other for decades. It is obvious that I have a decent job and my son is promising, but now I feel that I am being squeezed by others. I feel uncomfortable. I have to say something to calm my heart.

happy.

He doesn’t know his mother yet?

Ye's father also followed Ye's mother, and the couple kept bickering there throughout the meal, neither letting the other take advantage.

The whole family is used to it. They don't fight about right or wrong, but only fight for superiority.

After finishing the meal, clearing the dishes and getting off the table, they naturally calmed down, then went out with smiles on their faces and greeted everyone they met.

Ye Yaodong also walked to the open space next to him after dinner.

When he got up and stood at the door this morning, he saw several carts carrying kelp back and forth to dry it.

The rich smell of the seafood kept hitting my nose while eating. That was because their family was so busy talking about smuggling people, no one went out with their rice bowls and stood around to watch.

At this time, when he walked out, he saw a bunch of neighbors nearby holding rice bowls, eating, watching others working, and chatting by the way.

In the open space not far away, on the soil slope, there are neat rows of bamboo poles, which were inserted when clearing the open space yesterday.

Some bamboo poles had large ropes on them, with pieces of brown kelp more than one meter long hanging from them. Some had smaller leaves, and the rich smell of kelp came to his nostrils, a smell he was familiar with.

Some of the villagers worked together to lift the large ropes filled with kelp and supported it on the bamboo poles, some separated the pieces of kelp that were stuck together so that they could dry more evenly, and some worked together to lift the kelp to hang.

These kelps are cut directly on the seabed, and then the kelp is dragged from the sea to the ship, and then the whole rope of kelp is dragged ashore and put on the cart.

A rope carrying water weighs one to two hundred kilograms, which is quite a physical job.

According to Ah Qing, most of the people who work here take the initiative to help and do not ask for wages.

Because everyone wants to check the output, they will also work with the village committee in the second half of the year.

Anyway, everyone's labor force is very cheap, so it doesn't matter if they help a little bit, they all think it is just a matter of helping others.

If you help in advance, you can become more familiar with it, and you will have more say when you participate.

Ye Yaodong looked at how busy everyone was, and walked towards a cart with a smile. The kelp piled on it was taller than a person. It was slippery when he touched it. The leaves were thick, but the texture was a bit hard, with a plastic feel.

.

"This kelp looks good, like a small quilt."

The village chief said cheerfully: "Your guidance is good, and it's all thanks to the two workers who took good care of it. After raising it for a few more days, they said it has grown a little bigger."

"That's good. However, I have to remind you that if the harvested fresh kelp is not dried in time, it will easily spoil. And in May, the temperature will rise, and the kelp will easily rot in the sea. In these two days, it will be easy to rot.

Thank you for your hard work, please hurry up and receive the goods."

The village chief and Secretary Chen suddenly became anxious.

"Ah, then we have to collect it quickly. It's the end of the month. No matter how late it is in the past two days, we have to collect it. There are still a lot of them in the sea. It's just that the two boats rowing back and forth are too slow. We still have to catch the high tide.

Go out when the time is right and come back before the tide goes out.”

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and said: "My trawler has not been used for the past two days. Let me lend it to you. You can use my boat to pull kelp. You can pull more in one trip, and the round trip is faster, so you can collect it earlier.

Come up to dry."

Fishing boats can only go out to sea when the tide is high.

At the same time, they had to come back before the tide ebbs, otherwise the ship would not be able to dock, so they also had to compete with the tide for time.

Under normal circumstances, when their fishing boats go out to sea, they will calculate the ebb and flow of the tide in advance, so as to avoid wasting time when the tide has not arrived and the fishing boats cannot come in or out.

"Okay, okay, I still have to rely on you at critical moments."

"Everything is for the collective. I have donated both boats, so it's okay to borrow them again. But I will take that boat out to sea in two days, and I won't be able to borrow it if I need it, so hurry up these two days.

We should also take advantage of the good weather in these two days to show it out as soon as possible."

Secretary Chen agreed, "Okay, let them work overtime today. No matter how late they stay up, they will be charged more."

The village chief also said: "Fortunately, we cleared this area in time yesterday and cut down all the trees that needed to be cut down. Now we can have a place to bask in the sun."

"If we breed more next year, we will have trouble with the drying area..." Secretary Chen added.

"What are you worried about? There is such a big open space on the beach here, what is there to worry about?"

Ye Yaodong pointed to the large beach in front of him. Isn't this all open space?

It's just that he came back late yesterday. They were already clearing the land here, so he didn't say much.

"Sunbathing on the beach? How is that okay?"

"Why isn't it working? Anyway, you hang the kelp on a bamboo pole to dry. Wouldn't it be better if you hang it higher? Anyway, there are two high tides and two low tides a day. Wouldn't it be good if you can't touch the kelp during the high tide?"

The two of them thought about it and looked at the kelp hanging on a bamboo pole to dry in front of them. They thought it might be possible?

"Then let's talk about it next year. The old primary school should be able to collect it later, and the space can be freed up to continue to show off."

"I'll go take a look later."

"It's very busy here now, and we don't have time to accompany you. You can either go there by yourself, or you can go together when it's almost time for dinner."

"It's okay, you're busy with your business, I'll just turn around."

After the two elders finished talking to him, they also rolled up their sleeves to help. They didn't have the airs of village cadres at all, and they all participated hard.

These kelp are cultivated by the village committee, and in addition to paying the expenses, the rest will also go to the public.

If a village becomes rich, there will be more things it can do.

Ye Yaodong stood aside and watched, listening to the nearby villagers chatting. During the period, some people came over to watch and then joined in to help.

After a cart of kelp is dried, the empty cart will be pushed outside the pier to wait.

He said he would lend the boat to the village committee to collect kelp, and just now they asked for someone to sail the boat immediately.

Seeing that they were rushing to harvest in the autumn, Ye Yaodong could not wait to collect everything in the sea quickly.

Therefore, when harvesting kelp, you must also pay attention to the weather and calculate the time. You cannot let it grow as long as you want.
