This is the first time I don’t feel bored while sailing at night.

Ye Yaodong looked ahead, and from time to time turned his head to look at the woman sleeping next to him. He even reached out to touch her hair twice. Listening to the even breathing, he felt very peaceful.

The weather is getting cooler now, it's the end of October, and the sky doesn't get bright as early as in the summer. At around 5 o'clock in the morning, there is a little white light in the sky, dispelling the darkness of the night.

He had slept early before setting off, and when it got light, he was still full of energy.

He reached out and patted Lin Xiuqing beside him, "Don't sleep, get up and watch the sunrise."

Lin Xiuqing immediately opened her clear eyes, "I didn't sleep, so I just lay on my stomach with my eyes closed to relax. The space here is too small and stuffy, and it's not easy to sleep lying down."

"I thought you were asleep."

"I slept well in the first half of the night, and I wasn't actually sleepy. I just had nothing to do and it was pitch dark outside, so I just lay down."

She supported her chin with her hands and looked into the distance. When the first ray of dawn penetrated the sky, the entire sea surface seemed to be coated with a layer of gold and shimmered.

When I first opened my eyes, the genius had a little light, but by then the darkness had completely dissipated.

"The sun is coming out."

"Come out and take a look. You can see it more clearly from the top of the helm. You can also take out the camera in the lockbox and take some pictures of the sunrise on the sea."

Ye Yaodong stood up as he spoke, opened the cockpit door and walked out to make room for her so that she could come out more easily.

When Lin Xiuqing heard that she was asked to take pictures of the sunrise on the sea, she became very interested. She put the password box on the cushion, opened it, took out the camera and walked out.

He brought this specially because he wanted to take pictures of her. Everything these days is a memory worth cherishing.

"You can take any photos you want and save them."

"Well, I'm also picky. I have to take photos that are good-looking or meaningful. Otherwise, film would be so expensive. You can't waste money like this. What I take are all meaningful and worthwhile. These can be

They are all memories. I can’t remember things, but I can remember the scene when I see the photos. How nice.”

She smiled and said, "That means you have some money now, otherwise you can still save photos? Can you still carry a camera with you?"

"Stop talking and adjust it first. The sky is very red and the sun is about to jump out."

Lin Xiuqing immediately picked up the camera, took two pictures, and adjusted it.

At first, the sun peeked out quietly like a shy girl, revealing only a small part of the orange-red edge, dyeing the sky a gentle pink-purple.

She quickly raised the camera in surprise, clicked it a few times, and then took it down again. If the camera wanted to take a picture, she also wanted to look at it.

Gradually, the sun jumped out of the sea level, shining brightly. The golden brilliance filled the sea surface and intertwined with the blue water to form a picture.

She admired it and took pictures.

At this time, seagulls soared in the morning light, and their chirping echoed with the sound of the waves gently lapping the shore.

Ye Yaodong watched her looking at the distant horizon with a smile, and a camera hanging around her neck. If it weren't for the braid hanging on her chest, the white shirt on her upper body, and the blue pants on her lower body, it would be obvious

With the sense of age, he thought it had crossed the century.

Lin Xiuqing has become rich in the past two years, and has been exposed to more new things. She looks full of confidence, and even the clothes she wears give her a sense of foreignness.

At this time, she was still facing the sun, and the sunlight shone on her face, and the soft down on her face was clearly visible, making her whole person shine.

Ye Yaodong walked up behind her, put his hands on the railings on both sides of her, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Pretty, isn't she?"

"Well, it's exactly what you said. It looks like salted egg yolk. It feels red and slightly black when it pops out. It's so beautiful. I feel happy just by looking at it."

After speaking, she took a deep breath.

"Did you inhale spiritual energy?"

"What?"

"Ha ha."

"Go and take control of the fishing boat, don't just watch."

"It's okay. Do you want to go lie down for a while? My dad and the others probably haven't woken up yet. After the shift is over, I will go back to the cabin and relax for a while. You can continue to look at the scenery here?"

The sun jumped out of the sea level and rose for just a moment. It was very short-lived, but the two of them still stared at it.

"Well, I haven't seen enough yet. I'll stand here for a while while you go and sail your boat."

"Okay, then you can do it yourself."

As soon as Ye Yaodong entered the cockpit and wanted to take a look at the instrument controls, he felt as if someone was staring at him.

He tilted his head and looked at the source of his sight. He saw the camera in Lin Xiuqing's hand, smiling at him. He also grinned and gestured cooperatively.

"Haha, be serious. I'll take a nice photo of you sailing as a souvenir."

"OK."

Ye Yaodong straightened his clothes and touched his hairstyle, then sat up straight. Hearing a click, he smiled and turned his head again, "Are you ready?"

"alright."

"My dad will come over later and ask him to take a picture of us standing on the helm together."

"Dad probably won't use it. It will waste the film later, so forget it."

"All right."

The sun is rising higher and higher in the sky, and the temperature is beginning to climb. The chilly feeling when I wake up in the morning gradually dissipates, leaving only the coolness of autumn.

After Ye's father got up to replace him, he returned to the cockpit and lay down with his eyes closed to relax.

The other boatmen were all lying on their own bunks. This group was not going fishing, but they had to bring all the people with them.

There is no guarantee that accidents will not happen at sea. There is always a guarantee when there are more people. What's more, when going to other provinces, manpower is needed to move goods back and forth.

Originally, these people were hired by him with his salary, and they were paid monthly even if they didn't work. Why should he go back and forth on the boat while the boatmen rested at home? He must have brought them all with him.

Moreover, he brought two more with him on this trip, and now there are still two people squeezed into some beds.

He also asked a few younger brothers during this trip. The twins thought about it for a while, then discussed it with their family members when they went back, and reported that they would follow them. After all, they could earn double wages by working there.

Ye Yaodong will give them one copy here, and they will definitely be paid for working in the factory over there.

It is equivalent to two people going to work in Zhejiang Province and earning four wages of one person. It is worth it no matter how you calculate it.

However, if there is no double salary, no one would be willing to go. After all, it is much more comfortable and safer at home than outside.

Who knows what might happen to me in a foreign country? To put it mildly, I am working for the boss, but to put it worst, it is a job assignment. I am unfamiliar with the place and the language is not fluent, so I am very likely to encounter anything.

Like last time, they were all arrested because the workshop did not meet the regulations. The risk of jail time is also very high.

If you don’t add more money, people around you will definitely not go.

In fact, it is okay to recruit outsiders. Everyone is very poor. If they can get paid every month, even if they go to other provinces, there are still many people willing to go. But there is no loyalty to people recruited temporarily, so he would rather spend more money, anyway.

Raising two more people is not a problem for him.

As for the twin brothers, because there are many brothers and sisters in the family, their parents are not so worried about them running away, and they also agree that they can earn so much money.

When there are more children, love is also divided.

In addition, Ye Yaodong gave too much, and they were very excited and found it difficult to refuse.

Others were actually very excited, but they were the first to do so. Some were not as bold as them and were still hesitant.

He was half asleep and kept squinting until he heard someone outside yelling that it was time to eat. People in other beds moved and he sat up too.

It's only 8:30, so I've only been squinting for about two hours.

He filled a bowl for himself and Ah Qing, which was covered with mustard pickles, cucumbers, and a salted duck egg in his pocket.

He also asked his father to come down to eat and made room for him and Ah Qing to sit in the cockpit and eat.

"Day by day, I have to make room for you... I don't know if I will be able to eat the food you serve me in this life."

Lin Xiuqing kept laughing.

"Yes, why not? I will serve it to you at night, and I can also feed it to your mouth. Do you want it?"

"When I get sick and can't get up from bed, if you can feed me, I will be able to laugh even when I die."

"That's good, you can still survive."

Father Ye stared at him and cursed a few words that he couldn't hear clearly before going down.

Lin Xiuqing said while eating: "Why don't you let me go down and eat by myself?"

"They are all a bunch of rough guys. You want to go out to eat and everyone is staring at you? Then I feel uncomfortable. It's different at home than on a boat."

"What's the difference?"

"You don't understand, just eat your porridge. If the wind goes smoothly, we can arrive at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. If the wind direction is wrong, we can arrive before dark that day."

"All right."

"When you get there, take a good rest and get some sleep. I'll take you for a walk the next day."

"good."

Lin Xiuqing felt so sweet in her heart that even eating white porridge felt sweet. She didn't feel tired, and she didn't really stay up late.

Ye Yaodong didn't let his father take over after eating, and planned to drive by himself, but his father was worried and ran over to follow him for the second half of the journey and watched.
