After moving most of the goods, he stood aside and looked at the workshop not far ahead. In the dried fish workshop, there was always a large nylon bag on the top to prevent sudden rain.

, but the newly built workshop next to it does not.

These two days have to be rescheduled, otherwise there will be a lot of rain in spring, and it will definitely rain after Qingming Festival in a few days.

If we are caught off guard, tens of thousands of kilograms of goods will be in trouble, and they will not be collected in a short time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He was going to be very busy in the next few days, and he couldn't wander around the house to rest like he did the past few days.

A group of people were using flashlights to move the cargo at the dock. Trucks and tractors were coming and going, and it took several trips to bring the two ships' cargo to the workshop for unloading.

And he stood at the dock and watched until the fish were finished, and finally moved the canned fish boxes. He asked everyone to move them to the tractor, climbed up after him, and drove the tractor to the door of the yard.

The noise of his return was too great. When the neighbors knew that he had brought back a bunch of goods, they went wherever the excitement was. Looking at the bright lights in the workshop, they all watched and talked at the door of the workshop.

The tractor drove directly past the entrance of the workshop. Everyone just turned around and looked at it before continuing to point at the goods on the ground inside, talking and calling, "Do you need anyone else?"

The children at home had long listened to the sound of the tractor and were no longer surprised. They ran out of the door to take a look and then went in again. They did not even run up to him and call him uncle.

"Damn...the little bastards are too realistic. They knew I didn't have any gifts for them when I came back from the sea, so they didn't come forward to get involved."

Lin Xiuqing was counting the goods in the workshop. When she saw the tractor passing by, she followed it and trotted home. At this time, she said with a smile from behind.

"You are going to work at sea, and you are not traveling to make a lot of money. They all know that when you came here a few days ago, you didn't get anything. Of course, there is nothing new."

"The girls in the family also went to the workshop to help kill fish. Only a few boys had not finished their homework and were still doing homework at home. The adults in the family were busy and had no time to care about them. They also played until they were beaten.

, just came back to do my homework."

"If you don't want to do your homework next time, I'll send you to the workshop to work."

"Then they must be so excited. What are the boxes on your tractor?"

"Help me move it down together first and carry it into the house." Ye Yaodong said as he climbed onto the tractor, moved down the stacked goods, and placed them on the edge for her to pick up.

After his father had just finished transporting the goods, he followed him to the workshop to count the goods, and by the way, he took a look at the goods that Pei's father brought back in the afternoon.

Lin Xiuqing rolled up her sleeves and took it, "We can't fit it in the house. There are bags of dried fish, so we can only put it in the yard."

"Then put it in the yard first."

The old lady also walked to the workshop on crutches before, and now she walked back slowly and watched the couple busy at work.

"Why are you moving in such a hurry? Do you want to go home and eat first? Are you hungry? You won't come back until dark. It's already this hour. You should eat first and don't starve."

"It's okay. I'm done. The cargo is almost unloaded, that's all."

"What are these boxes of stuff? Where did you bring them back?"

The old lady looked around mischievously, and then whispered: "Are you going to do smuggling too?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at her, "What are you talking about? You are so old, you still know this?"

"I know a lot. The women in the workshop talk about everything every day. There is nothing in the village that I don't know."

"That's amazing. At your age, you already have a place in the Intelligence Bureau?"

"Oh, I heard it when I was walking around and basking in the sun. In the next few days, the workshop became lively again, and I learned a lot of things..."

Ye Yaodong laughed. He was getting old, but he didn't expect that he still had enough interest in gossip. He could also break into the village intelligence bureau and maybe get first-hand information.

"Then what should I say? Who knows whether what those people say is true or false? Just listen to it. Are you really not going to do smuggling?" She asked the latter sentence in a low voice, still struggling with this issue.

"No, don't worry. I'm a serious and honest person. Don't think blindly and just think what others say. Just listen to what the women outside say."

"I think so too. You've always been very good, so you definitely wouldn't do this."

"Yes, so if you like liveliness, you can pass the time by listening to those people talking, but just listen to the excitement and listen to it."

"Hey, okay..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled while moving the goods: "She likes to go to the workshop now when she has nothing to do. There are many people in the workshop and when they are working, she will move a stool and sit on the side to listen.

By the way, I would like to hear someone say a few nice words and praise her."

"I am very popular now. When I was working with them a few days ago, I brought a radio and played it to them. They were all very happy. They were busy working and listening to the radio. They looked forward to me every day.

.”

Ye Yaodong also smiled and teased the old lady, "Are you so popular? If you don't gossip to me, then tell me what do people praise you for?"

"Haha, people praise me that the longer I live, the younger I get, and the better I am at dressing up. The clothes I wear are prettier than my little daughter-in-law's. They are red, green, and full of flowers."

"Oh, he also praised me that after my teeth healed, I became more and more energetic and could live to be 100 years old. He said that I would definitely see the fifth generation of our family living under the same roof, and I would be able to have a great-great-grandson in a few years..."

"All the old men and women in the village are not as blessed as me, and none of them are as good as me."

The old lady's face was full of smiles, reflected in the orange light in the room, and her face looked rosy and energetic.

"Is your life good? If I let you wear gold and silver tomorrow, then your life is good."

Thinking like this, Ye Yaodong also thought about whether to give the old lady a gold ring, a gold necklace, gold earrings, etc., and also give Aqing and his mother the same set.

How can a woman not like jewelry? From old to young.

Nowadays, the price of gold is only a few yuan. If you buy it, it will maintain its value and you can wear it.

At this age, she has never enjoyed any blessings, nor has she ever worn gold or silver. When she gets old, she has to make arrangements no matter what.

In his last life, he only lived until 1987, and this year is 1985. Thinking of this, he felt nervous. See if you are free in these two days. If you go to the county town, you can stop by if you have extra time. If you don't have extra time, you can also

When we go to town, their town is much more lively than the county town.

The old lady was so happy when she said to him, "Hahaha, you are still wearing gold and silver? Then everyone's eyes should be glued to me~"

"Wait a minute, later, everyone will be jealous of you."

"Okay, okay~"

The couple moved and picked up one by one, and the three of them chatted there again. The atmosphere was extremely warm and harmonious. It took a while to unload half a car of boxes into the yard.

Lin Xiuqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Are these canned fish? I just saw it."

"Um."

"Did you go into the water and find the sunken ship from a few days ago?"

"Yes, I'll tell you more about it later. I'll wash this big bag of clothes for you and take the suitcase in. I'll drive the tractor back to the workshop and stop by the workshop to take a look."

"Oh, okay, then take a look and come over for dinner early. I'll heat up the food quickly."

"knew."

The old lady also shouted from the side, "Come back early to eat, don't be hungry..."

What the elderly care most about is whether they have enough to eat and whether they have warm clothes.

The group of women in the workshop all sat down to work with great enthusiasm. They all wore sleeves on their hands, scraping fish scales with their knives, and they kept whispering to each other, making a lot of noise.

Ye Yaodong was the first to look at the goods unloaded by his family, then walked towards his father, looked at the goods that Uncle Pei had unloaded in the afternoon, and asked a few questions casually.

"There are quite a lot of goods..."

"I just took a look at the goods my parents brought back this afternoon. I've already killed a lot, but there are still about 30,000 kilograms. Plus what we brought back, it's really too much..."

"I have already agreed with my mother that we will kill all night long and call another group of people to change shifts tomorrow morning, otherwise we won't be able to finish the killing at all."

"That's good! There are so many goods, it will take days and nights to kill them. More people should quickly pack them out, dry them and put them away to avoid bad weather in the future."

"Um."

He took a casual look and then went to the workshop on the other side. There were also several people in the warehouse carrying pickling back and forth, and his mother was also there.

According to his mother's words, the people next door stayed up all night to kill fish anyway, and people here also did it together. The job of fermenting fish sauce is not as troublesome as killing fish. It is very trouble-free. It definitely can't be done in one night. Come on early

Done soon, don't worry.

Ye Yaodong looked at a row of two to three hundred large tanks placed in the corner of the open space beside him, and said nonsense.

"Did the big vat come over?"

"It's been delivered. I asked the boys in the workshop to go to the county to deliver the fish sauce two days ago. I asked them to stop by and rush it, and then it was delivered the day before yesterday."

"That also saves me a trip. This trip brings back a lot of goods, which can also be used."

"They are almost ready for use. There are still a dozen barrels in the open space next door that cannot be filtered. They will have to wait until the filtration and packaging are completed next month before they can be brought over for use."

He nodded. If his mother took the time to come over occasionally to check and make arrangements, he could really save a lot of trouble. His mother was very familiar with some women in the village, and many things were very easy to arrange.

The fish sauce workshop is now able to get back on track in a decent way, and his mother takes the main credit.

Aguang is right, a child without a mother is so pitiful.

After Ye's father inspected the workshop, he ran over to him again, "Are you done? When you're done, go home for dinner."

"Okay, let's go."

He responded and walked out, but after walking a short distance, he turned back to call his mother and took out the remaining red envelopes he had prepared in his pocket.

"Mom, come out for a moment..."

"Here are some red envelopes. You can send them to Uncle Pei's boatmen later..." He gave his mother a list of people's names.

Mother Ye took the pile of red envelopes with puzzled hands, "What are you doing? You have too much money and you are giving out red envelopes again? Why didn't you send a few to me? Send them to outsiders... The people over there are none of your business...
