"As long as I can explain it when I get back."

"You're still hiding from me. It's really a ghost. I'll do the math and you'll know..."

"You'd better prepare the things you want to take on board first."

"I didn't tell you earlier. It's getting dark. I'm going to refuel and add ice now to prepare in advance."

"I'm going to go, you sort out the things at home that you want to take on the ship, and then go talk to the other ships."

"That's okay too."

Father and son worked separately again.

When Ye Yaodong went to refuel and add ice, he saw many people lining up there and many fishing boats had already left the port, which made him feel more relieved.

If others can go, they can go too.

When he returned from his work, it was already dark, and everyone was waiting for him to eat.

More than 20 people divided into two groups, one group ate at his place, and the other group made their own arrangements in another rental house.

He took off his hat in a dusty manner and shook the snow off it before entering the house.

"Let's eat, let's eat. I'm starving."

"Everyone is here and dinner is ready..."

"Eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls per person first. Today is the winter solstice..."

Ye Yaodong also had a small bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of him. They were salty and included cabbage, shredded pork, shrimp, clams, oysters, and pork liver. There were plenty of ingredients.

He looked satisfied after eating a bowl of rice dumplings. He could only eat glutinous rice balls once during the winter solstice throughout the year. Everyone else also devoured the rice dumplings before eating other dishes on the table.

The food at night is of course better than the food during the day. On the night of the Winter Solstice, the table is full of chicken, duck and fish, and everyone’s mouths are filled with oil.

Some people even joked that it was the last meal. No wonder the food was so good today. Eat more.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "This is the last big meal here. When I get home, I will set up two tables and treat everyone to another good meal."

"good!"

"I have to go to sea at night. When I get back from the sea, I will calculate the wages for the past few months. The last payment was in August, and I will pay it to everyone in the first month here."

"There are still 4 months until New Year's Day. I'm not sure yet when the weather will allow me to go back. I can also wait until I get back and make up for the remaining days."

Everyone applauded, and soon they would receive their wages, and they could go back and have a good year again.

Ye Yaodong's words also pushed the atmosphere at the dinner table to a climax. Everyone was very excited. They had a good meal and a good drink in the evening, got a lot of money and could go home soon.

If I hadn't gone to sea at night, I would have been drunk.

After their big boat went out to sea at night, the trawlers from their village also went out to sea in the early morning.

The sky was really beautiful. I didn’t expect the sun to rise the next day. After half a month, the sun finally came out one day.

Early in the morning, while he was still sleeping, he heard the noise outside. He woke up with one eye closed and looked out the window. He felt that it was extremely bright outside, and there was light shining through the cracks in the back door.

He rubbed his eyes, stuffed his clothes and pants into the quilt to keep them warm, and then pulled the quilt higher and wrapped it up to his chin.

He also rolled up the quilts on both sides and put them under his buttocks to wrap himself up like a silkworm chrysalis.

"I stretched out my hand, it was so cold."

He also retracted his head.

After lying there for a while, he heard the women outside shouting and cursing, so he endured the cold, put on his clothes and pants, and his whole body shook like a sieve while putting it on.

When I went out to eat, I found that there wasn't even a stool, there was no one in the main room, and the other room was also empty.

When I opened the door and went out, I saw that the door was full of people, covered with quilts, all basking in the sun, and there were already piles of melon seed shells on the ground.

He opened the door, looked at it, and quickly closed it. It was still warmer in the room.

After filling up the porridge and mustard, he took it out and squatted at the door to eat with everyone while basking in the sun.

"I haven't seen the sun for more than half a month, and I feel like I'm getting moldy. The sun finally shines today."

"Brother Dong, can you advance your salary so that we can go out for a walk later and buy some things to take back?"

"Lost all your money in gambling yesterday?"

"hehe……"

Chen Shi said: "No...yes, he goes to the alley every day..."

"Shouldn't we pay some hush money?"

Chen Guodong glared at Chen Shi, "Can you stop acting like a stutterer and act like a mute?"

"When I get back, I'll tell you... mother."

"Just in time, she told me to give her my salary and ask her to find me a wife."

Ye Yaodong said: "I'll get it for you later."

"I...I don't have to, I...won money."

"Bet, bet, bet... I'll bet on you to win."

"Your mother, mother..."

"I don't have that many mothers!"

"You all go out and call mom, mom, mom, there are so many moms..."

Ye Yaodong listened to them scolding each other and was so happy that he almost couldn't eat his food and had to move aside.

Listening to Chen Shi talk can really make people angry to death, and he stutters, making him want to strangle him to death.

After he finished eating, he also gave Chen Guodong 50 yuan in advance.

He also went back to the house and counted 1,000 yuan and put it on his body. He planned to buy the gold first while everyone was out at sea and there was no one around.

1,000 yuan is definitely not enough to buy for the whole family, but he doesn't dare to bring too much and plans to buy it in batches in the next few days.

As for other bits and pieces of food, drink and specialty toys, wait a few days or buy them after New Year's Day to avoid keeping them for too long.

When he went out, all the boys at the door had already run away, so he had to go to the rental house on the other side to call two of them over.

Unexpectedly, they all ran out, so he could only sit at the door and bask in the sun for a while, waiting for someone to come back and pick him up as a janitor.

They waited until it was time for dinner, and when they came back they were scolded by him.

Ye Yaodong spent a week and more than 6,000 to buy all the gold for his family.

The old lady, his mother, and Ah Qing each bought a gold necklace, a gold bracelet, a pair of gold earrings, and two gold rings.

Of course he also bought it for his father. The one he bought weighed the most. Each of the three women weighed about 30 grams. His father only bought a necklace, a bracelet and a ring, but he bought a full 40 grams, which was enough for him.

He lost face.

He also bought a silver medal and silver necklace from Taishang Laojun for all three children in his family to bless them to grow up safely and healthily.

As for Ye Xiaoxi, he also bought a pair of silver bracelets separately.

He didn't buy the other nephews and nieces. Anyway, their biological father was here, so they would naturally take care of them, so he didn't need to take care of them.

He just needs to buy more specialties to eat and take back, and let his mother distribute relatives everywhere to make her look good.

And this week, he also went out to collect goods every other day. The weather was not good every day, and the sea was rough, but he could bear it.

That's not necessarily the case for those small trawlers, they only take one day off and one day off.

They were happy and at ease. They went out for a walk every day and bought piles of things every day, as if they didn't have any money. They wanted to take back whatever they didn't have at home.

Except for a few boats on the sea, everyone basically took advantage of the rest time in the past few days to buy everything they needed to buy back.

Ye Yaodong still has a lot of things to buy. He plans to wait for his father to come back and then go together.

This is the last trip to sea. Father Ye also wants to make more money. Several other ships also want to stay at sea for a few more days and continue to make money if they can. After all, when we go back, there will not be such a good opportunity to make money. Everyone

The opinions are unified.

It's just that God didn't give him a chance. After he went out to sea to collect goods on New Year's Day, the wind and waves were too strong the next day, and several ships could only follow him back.

But this time there were no regrets. Everyone was very happy because it was over. All they had to do was rest and find good weather to go home.

In fact, the boatmen had long been hoping for strong winds and heavy snow, so that they could dock early. They were all still thinking about buying specialties.

Since the winter solstice when they knew they had to go back early, everyone has been eager to go home and they are all restless.

If it hadn't been for going out to sea that night and the good weather in the next few days, I would have been at home by now, surrounded by family members asking for help.

After Ye's father returned to the rental house, he felt relaxed all over. He didn't feel tired after returning from the sea and was in high spirits.

"It's finally over!"

The workers were also cheering, "You can go home soon!"

"Go home, go home!"

Ye Yaodong also said with a smile: "Let's all eat something and take a nap first. When we wake up, we will pay everyone's salary. Everyone has several hundred! By the way, I will give everyone a big red envelope. May you have good luck and go home to celebrate the New Year."

"Okay~"
