In the past few days, the air has been filled with a strong fishy smell. Women nearby were mending their nets, and the strong smell was emitted by those fishing nets.

Fortunately it's not summer, but the smell is a bit stronger. People at the beach are used to smelling it. If it were summer, it would be a stench.

Some people have already started cleaning, cleaning their houses, drying dry goods, and preparing for the New Year.

There is a busy and prosperous scene everywhere.

"A Dong is here? Can I call you..."

"No, no, no, I'll just take a look."

"Dongzi, do you want to play? I'll stand up and beat you..."

"You play with yourself, and I'll watch."

"A Dong is not busy today? Do you want to play cards? Set up another table?"

"There's still something else to do, you guys have fun..."

No matter where he goes, as long as someone sees him, they will say hello and then take the initiative to stand up and play with him.

Ye Yaodong waved his hand and refused. He just got up and just wanted to walk around. He had no interest in playing cards early in the morning.

When he walked to the workshop, Lin Xiuqing was directing several young adults to carry fishing nets.

He walked up and asked, "Has everything been dried?"

"Are you awake? It's almost done. Let's put it away. We need to call five or six people to come over tomorrow to repair it. We have many boats and many fishing nets. The workers will take advantage of their free time to wash and dry them. That's it for today. We'll wait for repairs.

It lasts for two or three days, and when the repair is completed, it is put away and it will be just right for use later in the year.”

"After I finish mending it, I'll ask the women to knit another bigger one for the Ocean No. 1 ship."

"You don't need to tell me. I asked my father to buy the thread for the fishing net two days ago and asked someone to make it. It will take a month to weave such a big net. I will pick it up after the new year."

"That's good."

"You also have to call the workers in advance."

"It doesn't matter. Didn't we hire more than 20 people last year? Just pick a few of them who are hard-working and honest."

"Brother Afan came over this morning and wanted to ask you if your big ship has returned and if there is still a shortage of workers on the ship. He wanted to work on our ship. I said I didn't know what your plans were and I had to ask you.

.”

"What is he doing now?"

"He didn't do much. He just went to work wherever there was work. Because of what happened a few years ago, no one in the village was willing to ask him to work. He went to other villages to work and couldn't make much money.

"

"Then let him work on the ship, and go aboard the Dongsheng. I will hand over the Dongsheng to Chen Laoqi to drive it, so he can go to that ship."

He briefly explained his arrangements for several ships to Ah Qing.

"That's fine. I'm not going to invite anyone. Brother Afan seems to be honest, so just let him work on other ships."

"Well, since you're here to ask, let's count him out. I haven't been at home for more than half a year, and my uncle and aunt haven't come to chat with me anymore, right?"

"No, you and dad have gone out. What do they say when they come again? It's useless to tell me. Mom said that when they see her now, they all smile to please her and are not as tough as they were at the beginning. This is because they know that they can't please her.

I want to change the way to build a good relationship."

"Finally, my brain changed and I knew how to please, instead of just opening my mouth and making demands."

"It's not stupid. I haven't asked for favors several times, and I know that I can't do this. And seeing that our three brothers are living a prosperous life, there is no benefit in offending us, so I must want to repair the relationship."

"Then you reply to his wife later, or if he comes over, I will tell him."

"Well, then your other workers must also be settled, so as not to have people come to ask every day, and the workers you hired before also come to ask every day when the workers for the big ship will be settled."

"I'll calculate how many people are needed, and I'll discuss it with dad during dinner."

The Ocean No. 1 ship is 44 meters long. If it goes farther, he will have to hire fourteen or five people. Later, he will have to take a piece of paper and write down the names of the people and add up the total.

"Then you go to dad and tell him not to get in the way here. I'm still busy."

"There are so many people working, what are you busy with?"

"I don't want to look here? And if there's anything, they have to ask me. I have to look everywhere to see if there's anything missing or anything that's not done well. Do you think I'm just idle? Wait a minute.

I have to cook for you again and serve your family."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong thought that it was better to be idle. He would go to his father first and decide on the workers he wanted to hire.

All the things that could be solved a year ago have been solved, and then you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

In the afternoon, he thought that he could go to the town to see Hong Wenle and ask about the progress of the loan.

He who rides on a horse, then he has no leisure today. Doesn’t he have to run around?

As soon as others come back, they can leisurely bask in the sun and play cards. They don't have to do anything. He still has to run around.

He deserves to make money.
