At night, Ye Yaodong and Ye's father went to sea as usual. It was a coincidence that they met his eldest and second brothers when they went out.
Normally I don’t know why, most of the time I miss it one morning and one night, only occasionally I bump into it a few times.
As soon as they got up, no one had any desire to talk. They just said simply, "I just happened to get up..."
Then they pushed the cart together to the pier.
Some people saw branches piled up on their fishing boats and thought they had discovered something. They were worried about being beaten ahead. They had already arrived at the dock, so they pushed the carts back for fear of falling behind others.
When one person goes back, a bunch of people go back, and everyone has a sense of urgency.
Originally, the flood season had not come this year until now, and everyone was waiting impatiently. Someone just happened to start, and it was Ye Yaodong and the others, so everyone quickly followed suit.
Now everyone thinks that he is very capable, and they can't go wrong by following him and doing as they are told.
Ye Yaodong and the others looked at the villagers at the pier and greeted them several times. After asking, they pushed the cart back and ran back.
After just twisting their heads and looking around for a few times, they filled up the diesel engine with oil, bought another barrel and put it on the boat for backup, and then they set off.
The small mosquitoes hovering overhead disappeared as the fishing boat sailed away.
As soon as the weather warmed up, mosquitoes began to appear, especially in their rural areas, where there were grass everywhere and there were many mosquitoes.
Not long after the father and son sailed the boat to their destination, they also saw a boat approaching them. It was dark and they couldn't see where the fishing boat was. There was only an orange light on the boat, but there was something on the bow. Two flashlights, shining there.
They didn't bother each other and went about their homework.
It wasn't until after dawn when the two boats were working that they accidentally got a little closer and saw each other when they met. Ye Yaodong didn't realize it was Xiaoxiao and Azheng's boat.
The two of them were fishing elsewhere, and they watched everyone move the bundled branches to the boat at night, so they went home and moved them too, and then came here.
I want to say that the fishing will be done nearby, and Dongzi will be able to take care of it. If the number of squids increases, we can put in the egg attachment device.
Both boats were trawling and couldn't stop, so they just raised their hands and said hello to each other when they met.
When it was time for lunch, they docked the fishing boat to the island. Not long after, another boat also came over. Everyone cooked noodles and chatted for a while.
"Dongzi, I see that there have been a lot of Jiang Yao in Ah Cai's house in the past two days. Was it you who pulled them out?"
"We wanted to ask during the day, but there were so many people around us that it was hard to ask."
Ye Yaodong affirmed: "I got it from the water."
"We think it's you too, so you go into the water. We haven't seen this thing growing anywhere in the intertidal zone around it. Last year we saw it growing underwater. It's just a matter of depth."
"Hey, Dongzi, did the abalone on the reef below last year grow a little bit this year?" Azheng asked with bright eyes. They all tasted the benefits last year.
"How is it possible? Don't think about it. It's only been a year. It's not that long. If it's been a long time, abalone won't be so expensive."
Ye Yaodong drank all the soup in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said: "But since we have met, of course something good will come to you."
"Same as last year?"
"Let's fish for Jiang Yu together, like last year?"
They both said excitedly at the same time.
"Yes, the three of us will take turns going down."
They also quickly put the bowls and chopsticks aside, slapping their chests and promising happily, "No problem, we are also veterans, the three of us will get more together."
Ye Yaodong had already collected the water two days ago, but there were so many of them down there that he felt they were areas he hadn't discovered last year.
He couldn't stay in the water for long. A person could only bring a limited amount every day, and he didn't have time to spend all day in the water.
We just need to work together to bring up all the squid from the bottom of the sea. When the time comes, we will allocate time to catch squid together.
They each trawled the nets at night, and in the morning they took turns fishing for river squid. In the afternoon, the squid swam in to lay their eggs, and they were caught in the evening. The timing was just right.
After lunch, the two of them couldn't wait to get into the water and start drying. However, Ye Yaodong told them to drag another net and wait until two or three o'clock before entering the water. In order to save some time, they could drag another net and then take turns. After two trips, I just finished work and went home.
They all also accepted it.
But I didn’t expect that this net operation lasted more than an hour, but it actually caught seven or eight kilograms of squid, which was much more than the four nets hauled in at night and in the morning. There were only ten in total at night and in the morning.
"Dad, I guess the flood season is coming soon. There aren't many fish in the morning and night, but in the afternoon we caught seven or eight kilograms."
Squid come here in the afternoon to lay eggs until sunset in the evening.
"It should be that I scooped a ladle of water at night and didn't see any bright spots. I think I can see it tonight. You can drive the boat to a distance of 30 to 50 meters from the island and find two good locations. Let's just put it there Just put the branches down and save space on the boat."
"Well, I can watch it tomorrow depending on the situation."
"You can catch so many now, so you should be close. When you go into the water later, pay attention to the aquatic plants to see if there are squid eggs, or see if there are squid swimming under the water."
"Okay, I'm going to sail the boat. Leave these fish here for now. I'll sort them out slowly when I have some free time."
Not long after their fishing boat landed near the island, Ah Zheng and his small boat also came over.
"Ah, we were just about to tell you. We just dragged a net and netted four or five kilograms of squid. At night, Mao Ying only saw two or three. I wanted to come over and tell you. Either put down the branches first. Entering the water, I didn’t expect you were already doing it.”
"The net we just hauled in weighed several kilograms, so we also thought about putting down the branches, and we just happened to bring them out. They also take up space on the boat. It doesn't matter if we put them down a day or two in advance. We come here every day anyway. We are not afraid that the buoy will be destroyed by the waves."
"Then let's quickly turn around and go to the other side of the island to release it. After releasing it, we can go into the water."
"Okay, come here after you finish. I'll put more here than you."
"knew."
The two boats were busy in two directions of the island, one at eight o'clock and the other at 12 o'clock. After Ye Yaodong and Ye's father had about the same size around the eight o'clock position, they sailed around in a circle. , took a look at where they put it.
Then I made some calculations and found that they had already reserved a spot, so they went around to the four o'clock direction and continued to launch.
If everyone spreads out and keeps a little distance, they may attract more people and leave behind all the passing squid groups.
After everything was put in, the two boats sailed to the vicinity of the reef together.
Ye Yaodong also took out his equipment to check, and then took out the broken fishing net that his mother had modified for him.
Don't look too shabby or dirty, but it's quite easy to use and can be installed. It's no problem to install an adult, and it's not difficult to put it up. You can come up first, bring the rope up, and tie it to the machine. Pulling it up again saves trouble and effort.
"I'll go first!"
"Me first!"
"I said it first!"
"Get lost, rock, paper, scissors!"
As soon as the two boats docked and came together, the two injured friends began to fight to get off first.
"Okay, then just follow the old rules and win."
"What are you arguing about? You two idiots, I'll go down to explore the road first, see where it is, and confirm whether the buoy mark made the day before yesterday has drifted? After all, I didn't come out yesterday, and I don't know if the buoy has moved. You are here Wait first."
Azheng slapped Xiaoxiao hard, who was preparing Rock, Paper, Scissors with his fists, and then directly played Paper, "Just wait in line, I won, I'm second."
"Ah Selinmu, I didn't even start."
"That's because you react slowly!"
"Get out of here! Don't lie, can you save some face?"
"I was irritating myself and saw Dongzi going over there. Who's to blame?"
"No, hurry up, rock, paper, scissors..."
Ye Yaodong didn't care where the two teases were talking. After checking, he jumped into the water skillfully.
This was the time of day when the sun was at its strongest and hottest, and today it was a super bright sun. He felt particularly refreshed after getting into the water, and he felt that the pores all over his body had opened.
The light of the sun penetrated the water and hit the bottom of the sea, making it look hazy and dense. After he went down to the bottom of the water, he actually saw two or three scattered squid hiding in the water plants.
He suddenly felt at ease, thinking that there would suddenly be no flood season this year. After all, it was many days later than last year, and he couldn't remember when the squid fishing season stopped.
After taking a look at a bunch of grape-like squid eggs hanging on the nearby seaweed, Ye Yaodong swam away and wandered around the seabed for a while, only to find that he had not been out all day yesterday and that the buoy had indeed shifted a bit. Location.
Those rivers were about twenty meters further west from where he came down. After confirming his position under the water, he planned to float up, but he turned around again just after moving his feet twice.
He couldn't just go back empty-handed and go down for nothing. If he went up, he had a CD and had to wait for the cooling time.
This trip didn't take long, and there was still plenty of time left. He could wander around underwater and take a look.
Ye Yaodong swung his flippers and swam towards the grass nearby, wanting to see if he could find anything else?
If he couldn't meet the grouper, he might as well pick up two chubby sea cucumbers. With such a big net bag, he couldn't let him take it down for nothing?
As soon as his feet landed in the seaweed, a small piece of small fish and shrimp flew away, and he saw a few scallops running away. He bent down to pick them up, but found that they were running faster. .
