The three boats now separated again.

After Ye Yaodong docked the ship at the deep-water port in the town, everyone moved to the Dongsheng and then drove to the village.

At this time, the ship in front had already moved far away, and no light could be seen.

It wasn't until they were approaching the village pier that they saw the light spots on the fishing boats in front of them, as well as the patches of light on the pier. They were probably still carrying luggage, and there were people moving along the shore.

"Finally home!"

“We’re home now!”

Everyone was so excited. When they were in the town, they stood on the deck to enjoy the cold wind and watched. Now the village is in front.

The speed of the fishing boat also slowed down, and it slowly merged with the four boats docked in the middle of the sea.

Father Ye was still standing on the fresh food boat. There were only two workers on the boat, and there were no people on the other boats. They were all carrying luggage on the shore at this time.

When he saw the Dongsheng coming back, he shouted to Ye Yaodong: "Dongzi, what should I do with the goods you brought back? The workers' luggage and sundries have been transported to the dock in one boat. I dare not touch your things.

"

Ye Yaodong waited until the two boats got closer before climbing over, "Let me take a look and nothing has moved."

"The dried fish has not been moved. There are too many. I thought it would be better to transport it directly to the city. There is no need to unload it. Just unload it on the deck. Our luggage has not been moved either. The others have been

Send them ashore first, separate them so as not to mix them up when carrying them."

"Then let's wait until the cargo on their ship is finished unloading, then bring the ship over, and then transport our own things. The dried fish will be put away first."

"That's what I thought too. I'll open one later."

Ye Yaodong entered the cargo hold and led others to remove the things and luggage he wanted to take off the ship and put them on the deck.

By the way, he also looked for the bag of dried fish that he had marked. When he put it on the boat, he paid attention to it. It would be easy to find it now.

As soon as Father Ye saw him dragging out a bag of dried fish, he knew that this kid really wasn't teasing him at that time. He was serious and really hid it inside.

“I’m not afraid of the fishy smell either.”

“Just right for covering up the smell of fish to cover up the smell of copper!”

"Nervous, gold is not copper."

"That's how money corrupts."

"I'm so nervous. If there's anything else, drag it out quickly."

"It's almost all here."

"The fishing boat has also arrived, let's move it on first."

Ye Yaodong first locked the warehouse and then checked the equipment of the fishing boat. After all the goods were loaded onto the boat, everyone jumped on board.

At this time, there were people and luggage on the shore, and everyone was still distinguishing their belongings and noisily.

Their belongings were in a separate boat, and after landing, they were loaded directly onto the tractor, along with a large number of beddings they brought back, which almost took up a whole truck.

He had someone deliver it to his door first. From a distance, he could already see the lights on more than a dozen houses by their beach.

The workers have already packed their luggage, and some have already gone to the village.

Ye Yaodong said to everyone on the pier: "Comrades, we're home! Let's eat, drink and have fun at home, relax and celebrate the New Year happily!"

"Wow!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Last time, wages were calculated until the end of the month, and this month there are exactly 7 days...that's not right..."

He looked at his watch with some uncertainty, "Oh, it's past 12 o'clock now, it should be counted as 8 days. Then the wages for these 8 days will be paid to you tomorrow, but you have to come over and work for half a day tomorrow morning.

Come on, help me unload the dried fish on the deck, and weigh other people’s dried fish and carry them into the warehouse.”

"no problem!"

"I'll come over early tomorrow morning to unload!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and clapped his hands, "Okay, let's talk about it. We'll wrap things up tomorrow. This trip is over successfully. Let's call it a day. Let's go back to our homes, find our mothers, and get some rest early."

"Haha, how can I find my mother when I'm sleeping? Then I have to find my wife."

"Hahaha……"

"Let's go, let's go home and sleep."

After everyone laughed for a while, they all packed up their luggage and walked and chatted in twos and threes, all very happy.

"I'm finally home. I've been away for half a year, but it's better to be at home..."

"Yeah, it's better to be at home. It's freezing outside and snowing, but it's not that cold here."

"When I get back, I will show the photos I took above to my wife and children. I will envy them so much..."

"Haha, I probably won't be able to sleep at night..."

Ye Yaodong's luggage was pulled to the door of his house by a tractor. He and his father were walking on the road empty-handed, chatting with other people.

When they reached the door of the workshop, the two of them walked in and took a look. There were dried fish everywhere and large tanks on the ground. They looked no different from before they left, so they felt relieved and went home first.

.

Before they even reached the door of their home, they saw that even the children had gotten up and were all jumping and screaming excitedly at the door.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, who arrived home first, were already surrounded by their children. They were calling daddy one after another, which sounded particularly affectionate.

And his child was already running over, shouting, "Dad, you are finally back, dad, it's great..."

"Dad...you are finally back..."

"Dad, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you 100 times every day, and I just want you back. Dad, I miss you so much..."

Ye Xiaoxi ran at the back, muttering non-stop, hugging his legs and sitting on the instep of his feet, raising his head and chanting non-stop.

"Why are you back! I've been waiting for so many days!"

"Why did you come back? I'm almost angry..."

"If you don't come back, I won't want you anymore and I'll get angry."

As she said this, she burst into tears, "Why did you come back..."

She had snot and tears, and she rubbed them on his trouser legs while crying.

Ye Yaodong smiled and lifted her up, "Damn, why are you so heavy! You can't even hold me, little fat girl!"

Ye Xiaoxi cried louder, "Mom said I wore too many clothes and wasn't fat. I'm not fat."

The two silly boys were also very excited around him. After chattering about "Why did he come back?", they asked: "Dad, why did you bring back all the quilts? Do we have any gifts?"

Ye Yaodong had no time to care about them at this time and tell them about gifts. He was surrounded, and his ears were filled with their voices, and he didn't know who to answer.

The old lady was leaning on a cane and looking at him with tearful eyes. Her cloudy eyes were full of tears and she was muttering, just come back.

"Amitabha, Mazu bless you... Just come back, just come back... Don't go out next time..."

Lin Xiuqing was also smiling, her eyes were red, "Why didn't you call in advance? I didn't know you were coming back today, and you didn't tell me when you called me a few days ago."

"The weather up there is not good, there is a cold wind and snow every day, and we don't know when the weather will be good and we can come back. Today was also a last-minute decision. We originally thought we could wait until tomorrow to get home."

"Just come back, don't ask, just go inside first. It's so cold outside." The old lady kept looking at him with concern, "I've lost weight again..."

"It's hard to eat and sleep outside. I've lost so much weight and become darker. I didn't tell you I'd be coming back today earlier. If I told you earlier, I would have stewed the chicken in advance. Now I can have a hot bite right away when I come back."

"You look so haggard. I don't know how long the boat has been sailing. You must be exhausted. Go inside first."

The children pulled him and tugged on his sleeves as they walked home.

Father Ye had long realized that he was a little redundant. While they were talking, he had already gone to find his luggage.

When they entered the yard, he picked up his luggage and planned to go home first.

The old lady saw it at this time and pulled him, "Where are you going?"

"Go home and sleep."

"As soon as you came back, you went home to sleep without saying a word..."

"What if?"

"After you finish eating, let's go. I'll cook some noodles for you and have a warm meal. I don't know how long you've been on the boat. Eat something to go back to sleep. This trip is hard enough. It's been so long, and you can't sleep."

I don’t know how to persuade Dongzi, but I haven’t come back until now, and it’s almost the New Year..."

The old lady kept asking Father Ye to talk, so Father Ye had no choice but to put down his luggage first and follow her into the house.

Not only their home, but also the surrounding homes were all brightly lit at this time, surrounded by their wives, children, and parents.

Although it was night, the whole village seemed to come alive. It was more lively than ever in the middle of the night, and the atmosphere in every family was particularly harmonious.

They seemed to be returning heroes, surrounded by their families and asking about their welfare.

Ye Yaodong sat down with Ye Xiaoxi in his arms and wanted to put her on the ground, but she hugged his neck tightly and refused to go down. She also straddled him and almost strangled him to death.

He had a doting smile on his face, "Why don't you come down..."

"If I don't want it, I don't want it. I want a hug. I want you to hug me..."
