Chapter 1005 Going to sea again (7000 words)(3/3)
"I don't know, let's see the wind and waves. If there is no wind and waves, we will stay for an extra day or two. If there are waves, we will come back two days earlier. Who can say for sure about the sea? Once the food is eaten, I will probably come back."
"Oh, the weather has been pretty good recently. There has been a lot of rain in spring. Taking advantage of the recent good weather, I can stay at sea as long as I can and earn more money."
"Look, it all depends on God's reward."
The four father and son pushed two carts and chatted while walking outside the pier. They also met a few people from the same village on the way, and they greeted each other and walked together.
If someone is traveling with you, you can turn off both flashlights to save battery.
While Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were both there, they also used their ship to transport the goods to the Dongsheng in the middle of the sea.
The crew of the Harvest were also waiting on the shore, and Father Pei was a step behind them.
After they had loaded all the supplies onto the boat and everything was ready, he took the boat and arrived belatedly.
"Oops, I lingered at the door for a long time today. I'm late. You must have been waiting for a long time."
"Don't be in a hurry, Lao Pei. Take your time. We have just boarded the boat and put everything in order."
"Hey, okay, okay, let's set off immediately after we load all the supplies onto the ship."
The lights of the fishing boats flickered on the sea, and they all sailed slowly and quickly from the shore to the middle of the sea, until only a row of small wooden boats were left on the shore, swaying with the waves.
The village was dark, without any light, only some flashlights flickering on the pier.
After the Harvest had finished moving the goods, they immediately started moving.
The Dongsheng slowly moved forward, and the Harvest followed closely behind.
The already cold sea breeze roared in their ears even more arrogantly.
The last time we went to sea, the Harvest was leading the way. They followed steadily without having to identify the direction. This time they just set off in front.
Ye Yaodong moved forward along the familiar route. He was familiar with the first section of the route, and his father was relieved to let him take the lead.
"Slow down a little later and let the Harvest go to the front. It will be safer and easier for you to follow behind."
"I got it, I'll let the Harvest take the lead after the fuel and ice are refueled. You and the boatmen should go back to the cabin to sleep first."
He must have known that it would be easier to follow behind, but the front part didn't matter.
Father Ye was quite relieved about him now and believed in him. After giving him some advice, he went back to the cabin to sleep with everyone.
When the sky clears up later, they only need to get up and help two people get off the net. They have just set out to sea for half a day, which is relatively free. They have also gained some experience, so they have to hurry up when they can rest.
Time to catch up on sleep.
It was the first time we went to sea a few days ago, and everyone was very excited. They all stood on the deck, and no one went back to the cabin to sleep. This time there was nothing new.
In the dark night, on the sea at this time, you can still see the fishing boats moving forward, with the lights above swaying as they move forward.
However, with their full exertion, the distance gradually narrowed until they exceeded it.
The journey on the boat is boring, which is wrong. It should be fishing at sea. For these old fishermen, it is boring. Day after day, year after year, they repeat the same work, repeat the wind, sun and rain.
Rain.
Only young people in cities who have never been to the sea find it new and fun to fish. For old fishermen like them, life at sea is very hard.
There is excitement, but what they seek is peace, not excitement, but also the joy of a harvest.
However, people in the city are willing to pay a sufficient remuneration, and the old fishermen are also happy to take guests out to sea to experience it. That is definitely not the case now. Everyone has just made ends meet, and there is no way to pursue this kind of excitement.
At this time, everyone had gone to rest. Ye Yaodong was the only one in the cockpit, and he was used to it.
After driving into the town, after adding ice and gas, he told Uncle Pei that he could drive in front and the Dongsheng could follow behind.
Then he waited for the Harvest to sail first, and the Dongsheng to follow. This would save him trouble, and Uncle Pei would be more at ease leading the way.
The two boats moved forward unhurriedly, one behind the other, until dawn broke, and Pei's father said through the line that he was going to slow down and get off the net. He immediately agreed, slowing down and changing directions at the same time.
Then he went to the cabin to call his father and the two boatmen who had been working together with his father.
He left the boat to his father to drive, and asked the two of them to help him lower the net together. After lowering the net, he went to bed.
Anyway, before the first network is picked up, they are all idle. After the first network is picked up, they have to work continuously and change shifts. If they want to rest, they have no free time, so they can only work in shifts.
It’s not that he is a capitalist, but that’s how fishing boats operate at sea. Every minute and second they are running, they are eating gas and money. How can they give you a good sleep before working? Otherwise, why are the wages at sea so high?
