"This one costs eight or nine yuan. There are dozens of them."

"Let's see if it's damaged by water? What a shame if it's damaged?"

The three of them didn't bother to untie the sack. After seeing it, they all squatted down excitedly and surrounded the box.

At this time, watches were becoming popular. Mechanical watches were too expensive and ordinary people couldn't afford them. Countryside people didn't have much money. This kind of electronic watch was also a watch.

In the 1980s, there was no complete coverage of network digital informatization, and every household needed a clock. It is a part of life and is extremely popular now.

When Father Ye heard that they had reached the watch, he stretched his neck and said, "Hurry up and show me one...has it been soaked in water? Can it be used? Or stop the boat for a while and unpack everything? Also drive out."

We're so far away, the two boats won't be able to catch up and ask for it back, right?"

Ye Yaodong shouted to his father, "Send your boat first, and wait until you can see it later. If it's not gone, run farther away."

Everyone was very excited and opened three items, all of which were good things. There were two boxes and two sacks next to them, and everyone was a little itchy.

"I will sort through these watches later. Some are soaked in water, some should be fine, and I will discard the broken ones."

These electronic products are most afraid of sea water.

"There are 4 more pieces left. Let's open them one by one."

Everyone excitedly chose one to open. Unexpectedly, the two boxes were filled with tapes.

The second cousin said happily: "This tape is good. People in the city like to use tapes to listen to tape recorders..."

Ye Yaodong casually checked it and found that a lot of water had entered it, making his hands wet when he touched it.

Fortunately, there is a layer of white plastic film and plastic shell, so there should be no water in it.

"Fortunately, there is plastic film, it should be able to be used."

"Go back and borrow a tape recorder to try one or two. This one is also popular."

Ye Yaosheng also happily flipped through the box of tapes in his hand, "It's definitely not wet inside. They should all be fine. There are dozens of them in this box. It's a huge profit."

The second cousin was overjoyed and said with regret: "It's a pity. A lot must have sunk in the sea. It would be great if it didn't sink. It's all gone to the Sea Dragon King."

"It's good to have these, but you still think there are too few for free?" Ye Yaodong said with a smile. Anyway, he was already very happy.

It feels like if he had to start over again, he would be hit with a lot of wealth, and I don’t know if this is the benefit of starting over again.

"Yes, just something like this is already worth a lot of money."

"There are two more bags, open them quickly and take a look..."

"Here are clothes!" Chen Jianian untied the rope on the sack and said excitedly.

Everyone looked over and found that they were all gaudy.

"It's women's clothes!"

"Women make good money!"

"These people are pretty smart."

"There's another bag..."

"Will you drive it for me?" Father Ye also stretched out his head and kept paying attention, wishing he could stop the boat directly. He just listened to their excited talks, and no one said to come over and take over and let him go and take a look.

"Then come." Ye Yaodong went over to take over the boat driving job from his father and asked him to unpack a bag as well. He guessed that the bag was also made of soft clothes or something.

Father Ye rubbed his hands and smiled broadly. He glanced at all the other opened boxes and sacks before untying the last sack.

"These people are really good at picking. What they got here are all hot-selling items. You don't have to worry about selling these things..."

"If those watches and tapes were good, how much could they have been sold for? It's a pity that they were dropped in the water, and I don't know how much they were damaged..."

While he was untying the sack, he was still mumbling something. Elderly people seem to have a common problem, they like to mutter.

"Huh? This bag I have is a nylon mosquito net. This is a good thing, too. I heard that when the weather is hot, many people line up to buy it, and some people have to ask people to buy it."

Chen Jianian couldn't put it down and touched it, "Yes, this nylon mosquito net is easy to wash and durable. A person in our village bought it, and everyone went to his house to see it."

"There should be several in this bag. I'm lucky."

Ye Yaodong was very happy when he watched his father take out a bag of nylon mosquito nets. Their family was in short supply. Mosquitoes in summer are very poisonous. When he left, his daughter had two mosquito bites on her face and on her hands and feet.

There was also a bag, which made him feel heartbroken.

Yesterday, he saw it in the alley and wanted to buy it, but he couldn't get it from an aunt.

He looked at the endless sea and couldn't see anything behind him, so he simply stopped the boat. He was already a long way away, so he probably wouldn't be able to catch up.

Moreover, the top priority for those people now is to leave one boat to watch, and the other boat to catch up with the team in front, and ask the master to repair the boat after it docks.

Thinking this way, people can't spare any time, and they won't focus on these soaked goods. They have all fallen into the sea anyway, and it's not worth wasting time to chase them.

"Hey? Why did the boat stop?"

Everyone looked over.

"I think with this small amount of cargo, and it's soaked in water, they shouldn't be chasing after them. They have the cargo on the ship, and we can't see them anymore. Stopping the ship now shouldn't be a big problem."

"Then stop for a while..."

Other boats that passed by also turned around and came back. After asking, they also stopped. Everyone exchanged ideas about what was in the sacks and boxes caught on their boats.

The harvests are pretty good, some are the same and some are different.

They had leather shoes on both boats, but only he had electronic watches and nylon mosquito nets.

Ye Yaodong looked at the people on the boat, "Take a look and pick out whatever you want."

Chen Jianian rubbed his palms back and forth, his eyes lingering on those things, and he said sheepishly: "This is your boat. The salvaged things are yours, and I'm just on the boat..."

The second cousin and Ye Yaosheng also laughed and said: "Yes, we are just working part-time. We follow you to earn wages. The boat is yours, and of course the things we catch are also yours."

"We just work for you. If you don't need us to help you fish it out, you can fish it out yourself."

Ye Yaodong chuckled. These cousins ​​of his are so honest. It's no wonder that his relatives on his father's side and his mother's side are not particularly promising. They have been fishermen all their lives, and they inherited their father's business.

Ye Yaohong, who was the most promising in his previous life, had already started working on the sewing machine early in this life, so much so that his uncle felt so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to leave the house and did not dare to visit.

"It's okay. Let's pick a few things each. It's an unexpected windfall anyway. I picked it up for free. Of course, the person who saw it has a share, so you're welcome. Just take whatever you want, pick whatever you want."

"How embarrassing..."

"You can keep the selling money for yourself..."

"We are all our own people and we are not outsiders. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. It would be nice to pick a few items to give as gifts to your family."

"Then...then we won't be polite?"

"Take your pick, pick your pick..."

Father Ye was hesitant to speak, but he still restrained himself and did not speak. He just watched with distress as they were picking over and over again, already scolding the prodigal son in his heart.

And you can choose at will... Where can you choose at will?

Isn’t it enough to give one or two things to each person?

This damn kid is so poor and generous, I feel so sorry for him.

But fortunately, the three of them were very sensible and didn't take too much. Each of them just took a good electronic watch. They picked two pieces of women's clothes. No one took the large piece of cloth or the large nylon mosquito net.

.

Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it, and he was satisfied in his heart. He could also say a few words with a polite smile, "How about two more items? Is there a sack here? How many tapes can I get as well?"

"No, that's enough. This electronic watch is already worth eight or nine yuan, and these two women's shirts and pants are already worth more than ten or twenty yuan. I've got enough."

"Okay, okay...then you can put it away and put it back in your own basket. My wife will be very grateful when you get back."

Ye Yaodong also squatted down and counted the electronic watches in the small box. He checked them carefully and threw them on the deck if the screen did not light up.

This move made Ye's father feel distressed again. He quickly picked up the watch on the deck, put it to his mouth, blew on it, and wiped it with his sleeve.

"Why are you just throwing it away? Take it back and repair it. Maybe it can still be used?"

"Repair? Who will do it? Is there anyone in the village who can repair watches?"

"Then you can put it away first. Why are you throwing things around so casually and ruining things?"

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips. This was an electronic watch, not a mechanical watch. Whether he could find someone to repair the watch was still a problem.

He put the watches away and sorted out the good ones and the bad ones. Then he might be able to exchange two of them for a pair of small leather shoes with his eldest and second brother.

Let them pile up the other clothes and fabrics in the corner. There is no need to dump this out to read. There are also two boxes of tapes. I have to go back and borrow a tape recorder to try them out. I can pick out the good ones and sell them for money.

They have finished picking things here, but the two boats next door are not ready yet. They are still taking out their things with great interest, looking at and touching them, and talking excitedly.

Ye Yaodong simply waited and took a random shirt out of the sack to look at it. It was getting colder and it was a good time to wear a shirt. This red plaid shirt looked quite fashionable.

The goods smuggled from outside just look better than their local counterparts, but they were too outdated a few years ago and cannot keep up with the development of the times.

After the other two boats were happy and finished picking the goods, they also imitated Ye Yaodong and gave two things to each person, and distributed them to the people on the boat, so that everyone who saw them would have a share.

Then he looked at Ye Yaodong with unsatisfied thoughts.

"Dongzi, let's wait until we get home and exchange the things we don't have with each other? Now is not the time to get these things on the ship."

"Well, let's wait until we get home. We're on our way now, and we'll be delayed for a long time. It's probably going to be dark when we get home."
To be continued...
