"Ah Ye, get up."
In a daze, Feng Ye seemed to hear someone calling him to get up. Without even opening his eyes, he subconsciously replied, "Okay."
Then, I went back to sleep.
But to my surprise, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what I did.
I feel very sleepy and tired and want to sleep, but I just can't fall asleep. Instead, my mind becomes more and more awake.
But he didn't want to move, much less get up, so he just lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
"Dad has already finished breakfast and is going to the dock to catch the ferry, why aren't you up yet?"
After a while, seeing that Feng Ye had not yet come out to eat breakfast, Ye Qingling went into the room and saw that Feng Ye was still lying on the bed like a corpse, and she was immediately furious.
“What does Dad going to town have to do with me? We’re not even on the same ferry.”
After saying that, he opened his eyes, said one sentence, and then closed them again.
"Just go to sleep. If you miss your father's ferry, how are you going to get to Lu Family Village?"
Ye Qingling said irritably, then turned and left.
"Why would I go to Lujia Village? That's ridiculous."
Feng Ye glanced at Ye Qingling and muttered something.
As soon as I closed my eyes, a memory flashed through my mind like lightning.
The ferry to the county comes from elsewhere, but it only passes by Baishi Island.
In later generations, the ferry docked at Dongtou Village because a tourist pier was built there.
But at this time, there is no sign of a tourist wharf yet, and the ferries to the county dock at Lujia Village.
People from other villages on the island who want to go to the county have to go to Lujia Village first.
There are two ways to get to Lujia Village: either take the ferry to town in the morning, which will circle around Baishi Island, or walk.
Most people would choose to spend some money to take the ferry; only those who miss the ferry or are stingy would walk.
"Holy crap... How could I have forgotten about that?"
Feng Ye sprang to his feet with a quick movement, grabbed the neatly folded clothes, and put them on rapidly.
When he finished washing up and went to the table to eat, his father had already finished eating and gone to the dock, leaving only his mother and wife at the table.
"Why are you up? Aren't you going back to sleep?"
Ye Qingling scoffed.
Feng Ye rolled his eyes at her, then said, "Give me some money. I don't know which scoundrel stole all the nets. I might as well buy some more while I'm in the county. I'm just afraid that no one will recognize their value."
"What? The net was stolen? How did you catch the fish yesterday morning?"
Ye Qingling's eyes widened.
"Which despicable bastard does such a vile thing as giving birth to sons without an anus..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chunxiu, not knowing exactly who stole it, began to curse.
“Mom, if you want to scold, go outside. Who can hear you here?”
Feng Ye was speechless.
Xiao Chunxiu stopped cursing aloud, but her lips kept moving, and it was unclear what she was cursing.
"My brother brought a hand net; he caught them by casting it. By the way, is my brother home? Did he go to work at the docks?"
"I didn't go, I'm busy in the kitchen."
"oh."
...
After finishing his meal and receiving the money his wife gave him, Feng Ye went to his older brother's kitchen.
Feng Xuan was cooking mussels over a fire; this was the second batch.
I dug up too many yesterday, and couldn't finish them all at once, so I had to dry them into dried mussels to preserve them.
"Brother, are you going to the county?"
"I won't go. I'll ask around after I'm done with this and see if anyone has a boat for sale."
Feng Ye turned his head and glanced at Du Guilan, who was peeling mussels outside the door, and smiled, "Sister-in-law agreed to pay?"
Feng Xuan nodded and smiled, "When I saw Qian yesterday, before I even said anything, she offered to buy a boat and work with you. I told her we couldn't ask Dad for money, and if she wanted to buy one, she should buy it herself. She only hesitated for a moment before agreeing."
"It's good that my sister-in-law is willing to pay, the family is harmonious."
Feng Ye nodded.
"Hehe, she also said that once she buys a boat, she'll go to a remote island to fish."
Aside from being a little shrewd and stingy, Du Guilan is good at managing her finances, hardworking, and not afraid of hardship.
After chatting for a couple more minutes with a smile, Feng Ye quickly said, "Then you go ahead with your work, brother. I'll go to the dock to wait for the boat."
"Wait a moment."
After Feng Xuan finished speaking, he got up and brought over a bucket: "After I came back yesterday, I took a special look and picked out a little bit. It weighed and it was 1.3 jin. Can you help me sell it?"
"Okay, pour them all into my bucket." Feng Ye nodded. "If I can sell them, I will; if not, I'll bring them back."
“I don’t know if what you’re saying about these two things is true or not. If you really can’t get a good price for them, just sell them as Buddha’s Hand Snails. That way you won’t have to carry them around.”
Feng Ye smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later."
He really had no idea whether anyone recognized this thing.
...
Under the rising sun, carrying a bucket of goose barnacles, I arrived at the village's dock.
The ferry to town has arrived and is picking up passengers.
"Thankfully, the timing was just right."
Feng Ye quickened his pace, stepped onto the plank connecting the dock and the boat, and boarded the ship.
The ferry was small, converted from a fishing boat, only about ten meters long, and very simple, with just a few fixed benches and no sunshade.
"father."
The boat was small, so there was no need to look for it. Feng Ye spotted Feng Jiaqing at a glance, who was standing and talking to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man had messy hair and was dressed almost exactly like his father.
The clothes were washed until they were almost white, but there were still many stains that couldn't be washed off, and they were patched up in many places. The canvas shoes on his feet were so worn that his toes were showing.
On this ferry, there were quite a few people dressed like this.
