"Are we going back now? I was thinking of going to help out at the new house. The more people there are, the more we can manage. Otherwise, how long would it take to kill all those fish?"
"this……"
Feng Ye hesitated for a moment, "It's already past eight o'clock. Ah Can and I have to get up early to go out to sea tomorrow, so we won't go."
Ah-Can nodded in agreement, saying, "Yeah, it's time to go back to sleep."
"How about we divide it up when you get back tomorrow?"
"Let's just split it up. Let's stop calculating and just split it directly."
Feng Xuan and A-Can didn't say anything more, and they were only half-baked when it came to mental arithmetic.
"I'll take two hundred first, and you each take one hundred..."
As Feng Ye spoke, he took out two hundred-yuan bills for himself and gave one to each of them.
He counted again: "There's 345.5 yuan left. I'll take 100 yuan, you each take 50 yuan, and there's 145.5 yuan left..."
"Damn, how do we divide this?"
Feng Ye was dumbfounded when he saw the few banknotes in his hand.
One 100-yuan note, four 10-yuan notes, and one 5-yuan note and one 5-mao note.
I can't take it apart!
I'm speechless.
Feng Xuan shook his head: "I already said we'd split it tomorrow, but you insisted on splitting it now. Now look what happened, we can't split it anymore, can we?"
"Ha ha……"
Ah-Can couldn't help but laugh out loud, "We couldn't separate them just now, and Brother Xuan still owes me 50."
Feng Ye scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed: "I just didn't want the hassle, and I was afraid I'd forget."
Feng Xuan waved his hand: "Alright, keep this 100-plus yuan for now, we'll talk about it when you come back tomorrow."
"That's all we can do."
Feng Ye nodded, "You guys remember this, and... no, let's split these 40 first."
As he spoke, he showed each person a 10-yuan note and collected 20 yuan notes for himself.
"There's still 105.5 yuan left, I've noted it all down."
He waved the three banknotes in his hand.
"Okay. I'm going to help clean the fish. You guys should go back to sleep too."
Feng Xuan said impatiently, turned around and left with his flashlight.
Feng Ye and A-Can exchanged a glance, then followed after them, flashlights in hand.
After walking together for a while, they reached a fork in the road and the three of them went in different directions.
"See you tomorrow, Ye-ge. Remember to get some rest."
As he walked away, Ah-Can turned back and waved.
As Feng Ye watched their departing figures, he suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Ah Can, go to Ou the bamboo craftsman's house and order another batch of bamboo curtains."
Ah-chan's return trip was on the way, so he didn't have to make a special trip himself.
How much do you want to order?
Ah-chan stopped and turned around to ask.
"Let him do it first, and we'll let him know when he has enough."
Before Feng Ye could answer, Feng Xuan's voice came from the night, sounding somewhat distant.
“Alright, I’ll tell Ou the bamboo craftsman that.”
"Can."
Feng Ye watched Ah Can's figure disappear into the night before turning around and walking alone along the path towards his home.
As night deepened, the lights in the village gradually thinned out.
Most people had already turned off the lights and gone to bed; only a few households with televisions still had lights on.
But the lights weren't on; there was only the faint glow of the television flickering.
That's how people in the countryside are; they're all very frugal. Electricity is so expensive, so they try to save as much as they can.
Walking along the quiet village road, the occasional distant barking of dogs seemed exceptionally clear.
With his father and Uncle Ling helping with deliveries, he was able to free up his hands and focus on fishing.
Instead of having to spend time making a trip to the county every day.
On the contrary, he will have more time to drift in the sea, and more fish will surely gather there.
Whether or not you can catch them depends on luck.
However, no matter what, the gains will be better than during this period.
At the same time, he was also ready to let go and didn't want to concern himself with the dried fish business anymore, so he planned to leave it all to Ye Qingling and the others.
Anyway, everything is on the right track and sales channels have been opened up, so it can operate without much of his involvement.
It seems he wasn't really involved much; he just made decisions.
At most, I'd help out for an hour or two after returning from fishing each afternoon.
In fact, they've always been the ones doing the actual work.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like it doesn't matter whether he's there or not.
Thinking of this, Feng Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
At the same time, a sense of relief welled up in my heart, and my steps became much lighter.
I believe Ye Qingling and her team can manage this dried fish business very well.
When I got home, the house was locked and empty; everyone had gone to the new house to kill fish.
They even brought the three younger children along.
Feng Ye was not surprised by this; it had been like this for some time now.
After a quick wash, he went inside and lay down on the bed.
Tomorrow is another day. I have to get up at three in the morning to go out to sea to fish, so I need to hurry up and get some sleep.
If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
That's the melody that people by the sea are most familiar with and find most comforting.
As night deepened, he gradually began to snore softly and drifted off to sleep.
In his dream, he and Ah-Can were incredibly lucky. As soon as one side of the trawl net was lowered, they encountered a super huge school of yellow croakers.
They drove the Rising Sun trawler, chasing the schools of fish and hauling in their nets. They worked all day and hauled up nearly 10,000 kilograms of large yellow croaker.
Looking at the full granary of large yellow croakers, he and Ah-Can were overjoyed.
Even as Feng Ye slept soundly, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
