"Is that so? Then we'll wait until we get to the shore. Now we'll move the goods."

Ye Yaodong was on the side directing the boatmen to move the cargo, while Ye's father climbed onto the boat nearby to help pick up the cargo. He emptied almost all the toad fish and piled them on the deck, then brought them back to a boat to unload the cargo, and then came out again.

Keep picking up groceries.

After the second boat was moved, it got a little dark. It's still cold now, so it gets dark very quickly.

He kept five of the box of canned fish on the boat, covered the rest with straw and moved them to the connecting boat. He also took the money in the iron box under the bed board with him.

"Did you leave anything behind?" Father Ye asked.

"Nothing is left behind. All the clothes and luggage have been brought here."

"Okay, let's dock then."

The Dongsheng, like the Harvest, has a deeper draft, and the water level at the dock is not enough to support it from docking, so it can only drift in the middle of the sea, and has to rely on barges to receive cargo.

The weather was cold, so the fishing boats basically docked before dark. When they docked, the receiving points at the dock were closed, but there were many people coming and going, all coming to move and transport goods for him.

The two carts at home are being pushed back and forth.

Ye Yaodong saw that the light was no longer so bright, so he turned on the flashlight and stood outside the dock, watching everyone move, while his father followed the cart to the workshop and directed the unloading of the goods there.

A bunch of dogs were so smart that they all ran out and circled around his feet, barking wildly.

He smiled and stretched out his hand, touching the chin of the little Heizi who jumped the tallest and most cheerfully, "The hair on his body is smooth and shiny. It seems that the food has been very good during this period, and he is ready to cook."

"Woof woof woof woof~"

A little flower dog and a little yellow dog were holding him one leg at a time, standing on one foot, and he was completely surrounded by dogs.

After a while, the lights in the workshop also came on, and he could see people coming and going outside the dock.

After all the goods were moved, he also led a group of barkers to follow the last cart to the workshop.

The floor of the fish sauce workshop built at the back has been leveled and dried, and the walls are piled full of groceries that have just been unloaded from the ship.

The warehouses in the row against the wall on the inside have also been completed, with the doors and windows installed and the tiles all put up.

It only took a few days, which was very fast. A year ago, only the doors, windows and tiles were left, and the ground was not leveled.

"It looks quite open."

"It's quite spacious. Such a large open space belongs to your family." Father Ye also looked proud.

Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to go back, and was going to walk around the workshop first. He saw that the warehouse lights in the fish sauce workshop were also on, and a bunch of people were moving around, so he asked as he walked inside.

"Have the empty barrels in the vacant lot next door been moved to the warehouse? Are the aunties there fermenting fish sauce now?"

Wang Guangliang followed and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, a large number of empty fish sauce barrels were filtered out one after another before the new year. The fermentation has not started yet after the new year. The ground happened to be dry in the past two days, so they were moved in.

"

"My aunt said that in the future, the wooden barrels can be placed inside the house for fermentation to avoid being exposed to the sun and rain and causing damage."

"After the miscellaneous fish brought back from the afternoon harvest boat were moved in, the aunts were busy. The aunt also said that when you come back, you will have to order some large tanks with wide mouths to put outside, otherwise the wooden barrels will be placed outside.

Indoor fermentation is slow, and if the quantity is so large every time, the existing ones are not enough."

"The ones we brought back in the afternoon were just poured in to finish fermentation. Just as your boat came back, some people just added it before they left, so the lights inside are still on."

Ye Yaodong nodded and stood at the door watching the people inside working, "You haven't had a break from get off work yet, auntie?"

The twins were moving goods there, and their aunt was instructing them to pour the goods into the big bucket. Then she stood on a stool and sprinkled salt into the bucket. Then she lay down and spread the salt evenly with her hands.

"No, it's all done."

"It's getting dark, so let's get off work first. You all go home for dinner and come back tomorrow morning. We just brought back more than 10,000 kilograms. Just the few of you can't finish it in a few hours."

"Is it getting dark? So soon?" The aunt glanced out the window, and she couldn't see her fingers outside. "It was still very bright in front, and it got dark just a short while ago? Okay, okay, quit, go home for dinner, tomorrow

Come back in the morning, it won’t go bad if you leave it overnight.”

"Well, you guys should all go home for dinner. Whoever's turn it is to schedule a shift in the evening can stay. We'll be very busy in the next few days."

"OK."

The aunt wiped her hands and walked up to her with a smile on her face, "You made a lot of money on this trip, right? Oh, now there is no one more promising than you in the whole village, and your two cousins ​​are all benefiting from you.

, the two of us rent your boat, and the harvest from going out to sea these days is quite good."

"Really? As long as the harvest is good, hello to you and me, hello to everyone. Let's make money and get rich together."

Ye Yaodong turned off the lights in the room as he spoke, then called the dogs out and locked the door.

"Yes, yes, we will make a fortune together. Your two cousins ​​also said that they would meet you for a drink and chat with you when you come back..."

"Dad~"

"Third uncle~"

"Dad~ you're back~"

"Third uncle~third uncle~"

"Dad~ Gotta wait for me~"

As soon as he turned around, a group of children at the entrance of the workshop were running and calling, extremely excited, as if they hadn't seen him in ten years.

"Third uncle, you are finally back!"

"Dad, you're back~"

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile on his face, "You have nothing to say, right? They are all saying that I am back. Of course I am back when I am standing here. What they say is all nonsense."

I was surrounded by a group of dogs just now, and now I am surrounded by a group of children. I guess I will be surrounded by a group of women again when I get home.

He is so popular, from old to young, from people to dogs, no one dislikes him.

Everyone loves you, and flowers bloom when you see them.

His narcissistic self-absorption only sounded out of place.

"Hehe~ Third uncle, the skin on your face is peeling."

He immediately grimaced, touched it, and said angrily: "It was blown by the sea breeze."

"You should say, Third Uncle, you have lost weight~"

"Hahaha~ You should leave this to Atai for a while~"

"Attai would also say to kill a chicken to replenish Uncle San~"

"Yesterday, Mrs. Tai told Third Aunt to save more eggs. She said that Third Uncle likes to eat chickens but not ducks. This year, when the hens have nested, they can lay down more chicks and let Third Aunt cook the duck eggs. Don't do that.

Boil eggs."

Ye Yaodong smiled at these noisy people and knocked on the heads of the people in front of him, "I'm going home. Everyone's noses are almost on their lips. Why are you running out?"

"My father is back, so we knew you were back too, so we ran over to take a look."

"I don't have any gifts for you. I've been going to sea these days to make money."

"Hey, I didn't ask for a gift..."

"Dad, we miss you..."

Ye Xiaoxi's short legs fell at the back, and she fell after running a few steps. Then she simply lay on the ground and shouted towards the front: "Daddy, give me a hug~ I want a hug~"

Ye Yaodong saw a dark figure on the ground in front of him, and immediately stepped forward to lift her up, patted her knees and patted the dust on her chest, and then spanked her twice.

"It's all hypocritical. If you fall down, you won't get up by yourself. You just lie there and scream."

Ye Xiaoxi hugged his neck and moved excitedly, "I want a hug, I want you to hug me."

"Don't move. I can't hold you anymore. You'll fall to the ground later."

As if she had discovered a new world, she reached out and touched the stubble on his chin. She felt a tingling sensation, and she kept touching his mouth with her little hands.

"Get it away, don't touch it, it will hurt someone."

“Fun.”

"Why do your hands smell so bad? Have you washed your hands when you pooped?"

"Haha, she just touched the chicken's butt!"

"Auntie went to touch the chicken's butt and said that it was too cold for chickens to lay eggs anymore. She wanted to see if there were any eggs on the chicken's butts at home. If they could lay eggs tomorrow, she also went to touch the chicken's butts."

"Hahaha~"

Ye Yaodong looked dumbfounded and quickly took her hand away, "Why do you know everything and learn everything? Do you have to do whatever adults do?"

She didn't say anything, and looked at a group of children laughing, and she giggled along with them.

"If you have free time, go dig some earthworms and feed them to the chickens tomorrow. The chickens will love to lay eggs."

"Third uncle, your open space is so big. Can we come here to play ball tomorrow? Third aunt kicked us out in the afternoon and stopped letting us play here."

"Let's take a look tomorrow. The newly built area is fine. The barrels have all been moved to the warehouse for fermentation. There is nothing on the construction site. There is no big water tank, so I'm not afraid of you guys kicking it."

Wang Guangliang said quickly: "No, Brother Dong, my sister-in-law said that there were too many toad fish brought back this time. There will not be enough open space over there to dry them, so they must dry them here. They just dried the fish two days ago."

I knocked over a large piece and got beaten up."
