"Um."

Ye Yaodong responded casually and went to burn incense for Mazu before returning to the cockpit and sailing the ship.

There was a cold wind, and it was also chilly inside the cockpit, but luckily there was no wind, and it gradually became warmer after a while.

The four large boats sailed together for three or four hours. The fishing boats passing by looked sideways. It was rare for so many large boats to go in the same direction together.

It wasn't until dawn in the early morning that they separated, each set down the net, and continued to move toward the East China Sea while working.

It was rare for A Guang to steer a boat by himself, so he was very excited all of a sudden. He kept chatting with Ye Yaodong online. When they started working, they went to rest first to catch up on their sleep, and then calmed down.

Everyone is used to the boring fishing work at sea, and working at sea in cold weather is also particularly painful. The wind is biting and the sea water is freezing.

There are reasons for getting high wages.

After fishing for three days in heavy wind and waves, Ye Yaodong proposed to sell goods on the shore.

The cold wind was blowing in the cold winter, and the waves were rolling. Selling goods on the shore could avoid staying at sea and enduring strong winds and waves. He saw that the waves were not bad.

By the way, it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so if you go ashore to sell some goods, you can also celebrate the festival before heading out to sea.

Zhou Da and others felt that selling goods near the shore would waste time on the road and sell goods, and it would cost a lot of gas to go back and forth, which was not cost-effective. But Ye Yaodong said so, and they reluctantly agreed.

However, when they docked, they found that it was raining heavily, and they immediately felt lucky to have docked. Apparently, the weather forecast yesterday showed that the city would be cloudy today.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel more convinced of him, and his judgment was more accurate.

"It's so good that it rains when it rains."

"It's getting colder. It's already the Chinese New Year. The temperature was still rising during the New Year days, but I didn't expect it to be cold again now."

"Have you ever heard of freezing to death in spring? It will be colder when spring starts," Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "While there are not many people on the shore at this moment, we can carry the groceries up first and weigh them for A Liang and the others to take back.

I'll also pick out the other goods, weigh them, and give you the bill. Then I'll pick up the money from my house when I get home."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong asked other ships to bring out the goods for him to pick first, and then the goods he wanted would be carried ashore to Wang Guangliang.

Wang Guangliang and the others were also discussing there. It was still cloudy at home when they told the story. Unexpectedly, it started raining heavily as soon as they arrived in the city. If the home had stopped earlier, they wouldn't have to go out to receive the goods.

Fortunately, he was able to help Ye Yaodong bring the goods back.

"Brother Dong, I received a letter from you at home this morning."

"What letter?"

"I don't know. I went to work at noon and then sailed out. I heard what others said."

"Okay, when I go to the market later to sell goods, I'll call home and ask."

Father Ye asked excitedly from the side: "Dongzi, was it true that you turned in two whales, one big and one small, and the city rewarded you?"

"Is it possible?"

"Then...then call home and ask about it later?"

"good."

Lin Xiuqing didn't expect that he would call back after just three days at sea, thinking who was calling.

Father Ye also put his head against the phone, wanting to hear what was being said.

Ye Yaodong glanced at him and switched the phone to the other side, making Ye's father blow his beard and stare in anger.

After he hung up the phone, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about? No one will listen to you?"

"Is it okay for you to listen like this when we are talking?"

Father Ye was scolded and felt that it was inappropriate.

"Ahem, isn't this serious business?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at his father, "It's nothing to do with you. I just received a letter of appointment and hired me to be the vice president of the fishery association of this city."

"Ah, is it the vice president again?"

"Why, you still don't like it?"

"No, why are you invited to be the vice president again this time? What have you done? You haven't done anything?"

"Look at what you said, I haven't done anything, so I can't become one? After all, I am also a representative of contemporary fishermen. I have also made a lot of contributions to marine research and made great contributions."

"Ah? Fishermen's representative?"

"Isn't it? In the past two years, I have contributed many strange marine creatures one after another, and I have also handed in many strange things. I am not the fishermen's representative, who is the fishermen's representative?"

At the earliest, I fished out a bronze tripod, which was so heavyweight that it alarmed the museum.

Even though he didn't catch the sea monster the next time, it was still from their village.

There was also a stranded basking shark, and the Fisheries Bureau he contacted came to lift it away.

Then there are torpedoes, unmanned underwater vehicles, and the nearest two gray whales, one large and one small.

He had just received a commendation from the city some time ago and had been in newspapers several times. He was the one who proposed the Fisheries Association and gave some suggestions by the way. Why can't he become the vice president of a mere Fisheries Association?

He even thinks he can join the party!

He is simply a glorious representative of fishermen! He should be rated as advanced.

After hearing this, Father Ye felt that it made sense, and he became happy after thinking about it.

Although the reward he wanted failed, his son gained glory again, and he also had a bright face when it came to the matter.

Between the president of this city and the president from other places, of course the president of this city is better.

"That's right. You should have a share anyway. When our village receives the kelp shipment, we will plant it in large quantities next year. We will have to set an example by then..."

"It's early, so don't go so far."

"Then you call your godfather quickly and thank him. This was sent about a year ago, otherwise you might not receive it now."

"Yes, it must have been sent out before the year, otherwise it would not have been sent out so quickly after the new year."

Ye Yaodong also quickly dialed a familiar number and thanked Director Chen properly.

He said that he sent Director Chen to the county town to celebrate the New Year two years ago, and what he said had profound meaning. He probably had already sent the appointment letter at that time, and it was just a surprise for him, so he didn't mention it.

Father Ye rubbed his hands with a lewd and cheerful look on his face, and stopped eavesdropping now.

"All of a sudden this president, that president, sounds quite majestic..."

He was afraid that others wouldn't know, so he deliberately spoke louder, but the people around him couldn't understand the dialect he spoke.

Show your charming eyes to the blind man.

He looked around and found that no one around him envied him, and his joy was halved.

I didn’t have the nerve to speak Mandarin again, so I had to hold it in for now.

After Ye Yaodong hung up the phone, he couldn't wait to find someone who could understand him.

"Wait a minute, dad. My godfather said that there are rewards for the two whales. It just so happened that they were approved for work two days later. It was just a reward of 50 yuan for a boat. Although there was no certificate of honor, but such a big whale,

Why should we report it in the local newspaper?"

"50 yuan..." Father Ye was a little disappointed, "Then overseas JD equipment is more valuable."

"That's for sure, one is a marine creature, and the other is a hostile country outside the country that will threaten us. Which is more important, of course, is different."

"Okay, then you go and receive the award now?"

"You can go and receive the award now. Uncle Pei is not here. It's just right for Aguang to go. I'll ask them if they want to go now."

"Then we must go now. We're already in the city anyway, and it's hard to go out if it's raining heavily. It's the same as leaving after receiving the reward."

Ye Yaodong went out to look for other people outside the market. Some of them had sold out and were going to eat first.

Some are still selling goods inside and have not come out yet.

As soon as the boatmen finished selling their goods, Ye Yaodong asked them to sort out their own baskets and wait for him at the door.

At this time, he also told the news. Although everyone was a little disappointed and rewarded the fishing boat with 50 yuan, they had already experienced the glory before and were very satisfied.

At the same time, I am also happy for Ye Yaodong. His boss has become the vice president of the fishery association of this city. Their faces are also bright, and they are from the same village.

"Then shall we go along to receive the award?"

"No, I will take you all to dinner later. After dinner, you can take these things to the boat first and take a rest. We have stayed up all night. We will get on the boat after receiving the reward."

Everyone nodded and had no objection.

Ye's father also found an outlet for his excitement at this time, happily chatting with others about Ye Yaodong becoming the vice president again.

"It would be great if he is upright... If you ask me, with Dongzi's ability and contribution, it is more than enough to be upright."

"Yes, yes... A Dong is so powerful now and has been in the newspapers several times. Why hasn't he been promoted to full president?"

"Can I mention it?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and said to them: "I think too much. How can the president of the president be just anyone? For people in this city, I am still from out of town. If I can be the vice president, if I am not a director, it is already a piece of cake.

It’s time to be content with the bread.”
