Although all the fish in the boat were carried into the fish barn, everyone saw it and knew that he had collected so many trash fish, and they were all talking about it.

However, Ye Yaodong couldn't hear it in the cockpit.

Lin Xiuqing was surrounded by a group of people talking, smiling brightly.

It’s time to go back soon, and the children are still immersed in the bustling city, playing with the toys in their hands, looking forward to coming back next time.

However, as the fishing boat floated in the middle of the sea for a long time in the excitement, everyone gradually lost their desire to talk. They were shivering in the sea breeze and became mentally ill.

As the night gets longer, the children become drowsy. There are limited beds in their cabins, so most of them are concentrated on the deck, held by adults and sitting on the ground to sleep.

In winter, the sea breeze is colder and the temperature is lower at night. Not only children, but adults also become cold and sleepy, and most of them start to sniff their noses.

Lin Xiuqing was worried that her three children would catch a cold, so she sent them to the cockpit.

"It's too cold outside, and there are too many people to lie down in the cabin. I'm afraid they might catch a cold, so I'll just squeeze in here with you. At least there won't be any wind here."

"You didn't bring it up, so I wanted to go down and call you."

Dozens of people are on board, and I don't know where the cabin can accommodate them, even if they all sit on beds.

It's better when there's sunshine during the day, but it's cold and sleepy at night, and the sound of the machine is so loud that most people can't bear it.

After the three children were sent into the cockpit, they felt comfortable, sniffed a few times, and found their own seats.

The cockpit is actually very small. Once three children squeezed in, it was difficult to even turn around.

The smaller Ye Xiaoxi simply squatted on the ground, and the other two surrounded Ye Yaodong on one side.

"Dad, there's no wind here, and you don't have to squeeze into the cabin with so many people. It's really comfortable."

Ye Yaodong touched Ye Chenghu's head and said, "Lean on me and squint for a while."

"Dad, next time we take a car instead of a boat."

"The main reason is that there are too many people. If there are fewer people, you can stay in the cabin for a while, and it will not be so uncomfortable without the cold wind blowing all the time."

"Then don't take them with you next time. I don't know anyone except my cousins."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, who was still outside with her neck hunched in the cold wind, and patted Ye Chengyang.

"You also squat down and let your mother squeeze in."

After saying that, he went to knock on the window and open the door, "Come in, it's too cold outside, just squeeze in and let the two little ones squat on the ground."

Lin Xiuqing didn't show any pretense and squeezed in.

As time passed, the three children all fell asleep leaning against them with their heads tilted.

"It's probably eleven o'clock when we get home. What will happen to the people on the boat?"

"Let someone drive a tractor to send them back. There are so many people. How can we sleep at home? Anyway, it's only 12 o'clock when we get home. It won't be a big trouble. Just let others do it. Your sisters and their families can stay overnight.

.”

Sister-in-law Lin and the Lin family's children all stayed in the city. It was a rare trip and it was winter vacation. They planned to stay for two more days.

Ye Yaodong was not familiar with the remaining people, so of course he would not think of letting them stay and send them away directly. They would have to greet people and take care of the food the next day.

My own workshop is so busy that I have no time to spare.

"That's okay. When we get back to the village, I'll ask them if they want to go back directly in the evening or stay overnight."

The couple sat next to each other and chatted, so the journey was not difficult.

After arriving at the village, they woke up the three children.

The two were older, and the boat was rocking and difficult to carry. Lin Xiuqing led them down the stairs one by one, while Ye Yaodong held the sleepy Ye Xiaoxi.

Everyone also stood on the deck, waiting for the fishing boat to pick them up.

It was really hard to come back at night. When I went there, I was full of energy. When I came back, it felt like I had lost a battle. Everyone was huddled up with runny noses.

"It's not easy to take a boat trip. Fishing at sea would be even harder. It's too cold at sea, and the machine keeps making noise, and I can't sleep..."

"That's it, it's okay..."

"It's so tiring. It's not easy to travel far away."

Ye Yaodong held the child in his arms and said, "Let's go ashore first. After we get there, I'll have someone drive a tractor to take you back."

Lin Xiuqing talked to his two sisters and asked them if they wanted to stay all night. They all shook their heads and said that it was almost the Chinese New Year and there were a lot of things at home, so she gave up.

The workshop was no longer as bustling as it was during the day. It was now deserted and deserted, except for the two people on duty. They had to watch the workshop and couldn't leave, and not everyone knew how to drive a tractor.

Ye Yaodong asked Wang Guangliang to take someone with him, and they drove the tractor to send them back.

He thought to himself that he had to let them take advantage of their free time to teach a few more tractors, otherwise there would be no one who could use them at the critical moment.

After sending all the people in the car away, the couple was exhausted.

Ye Xiaoxi slept soundly on Ye Yaodong's shoulder, while the other two's eyelids were fighting and they both walked with their eyes closed.

After the children were settled, it was almost 12 o'clock as the couple lay in bed, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Xiuqing let out a long sigh of relief after lying down, "I'm so tired. I've never felt so tired when I went to the city before. I'm still comfortable at home."

"The main reason is that there are so many people, which makes it very troublesome for me. I feel tired physically and mentally."

"It's inevitable for relatives to come and go. Fortunately, it's just this one time. It doesn't happen often."

"Go to bed early and sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow." Ye Yaodong patted her comfortingly and covered the child with a quilt.

He also felt tired. Even though he didn't do much, he felt no worse than going out to sea to trawl.

He had just rested comfortably at home for two days. He happened to be sitting in front of the workshop basking in the sun when he bumped into the postman who had delivered the newspaper early in the morning.

Seeing the postman riding his bicycle towards his door, he quickly called to stop.

"Comrade postman, do you have my letter?"

"Yes, you are here. I have your letter and this week's newspaper."

When he woke up early in the morning and looked at the calendar, he thought that a newspaper should be delivered today, Monday, and he also wondered if photos would be delivered together, but he didn't expect that they would be delivered.

"Thank you, please eat melon seeds."

Ye Yaodong smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in the pocket of his green military uniform.

"Haha, thank you, let's go."

He squeezed the thick envelope in his hand, which was hard. The smile on his face deepened, and he opened it immediately.

There are actually photos of receiving awards, and there are also photos from the commendation ceremony.

Everyone had big red flowers tied on their chests, a certificate of commendation in one hand, and a red envelope in the other hand, with bright smiles on their faces, but it was a pity that they were in black and white.

"Brother Dong, is this the photo of you receiving the award a few days ago?"

"My opponent, isn't he handsome?"

"Handsome, it's such an honor. If I had known I would have gone to sea with you just like Chen Shi. This is so awesome and will bring glory to our ancestors."

Wang Guangliang and his cousin each stretched their heads, looking at the photo in his hand, and looked at Chen Shi in it with envy.

Ye Yaodong looked through the photos. There was a date under each photo. It had only been 11 days. He didn't expect it to be very efficient. He received it so quickly. He thought he would have to wait until a year ago.

"Show us?"

Ye Yaodong turned around and showed the photo to them, then picked up the newspaper and read it himself.

As soon as he opened it, he was attracted by the largest page at the top and was pleasantly surprised.

"Damn it, this is the headline."

There was a group photo of them on the page, the one I had just now, where they stood in a row, with big red flowers tied on their chests, and red envelopes and certificates in their hands.

There is also a photo of an unmanned underwater vehicle, with a large paragraph of text densely surrounding the photo.

The two younger brothers next to me were also attracted and turned their heads.

"Wow, Brother Dong, you are in the newspaper!"

"You're all in the newspapers."

"Everyone, come quickly, Adong is in the newspaper."

Someone shouted, and everyone in the workshop put down what they were doing and ran over to take a look out of curiosity.

After a while, Ye Yaodong was surrounded by a large number of people, all of whom stretched their heads to look at the newspaper in his hand. He was almost drowned before he could even read two lines of words.

"Oh, what are you doing? Go and work. I'll show it to you after I finish it."

"It's so amazing that a whole boatload of people were in the newspaper? Is the thing caught so amazing?"

"Everyone can understand this photo, but what is written on it so densely? The characters are so small..."

"Isn't A Dong literate? Read it to everyone so that everyone can listen and see?"

"Yes, think about it..."

"Okay, then I'll read it to you."
