Chapter 391 Visiting Relatives on the Icefield
As distinguished guests, Su Tai and Shen Yi were naturally treated as honored guests.
Yu Xinghai accompanied me throughout the entire process.
As soon as they entered the village, the couple saw Yu Mengzi coming back from the beach and said hello to him.
After Yu Mengzi saw the visitor clearly, he smiled like a chrysanthemum and said, "Your Excellency, are you coming to the village as a guest?"
"No, no." Yu Xinghai hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Yu Mengzi was obviously very excited when he knew the whole story, and even knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Yi and Su Tai.
Shen Yi quickly helped him up.
Because I couldn’t understand Yu Mengzi’s words, I could only let Yu Xinghai translate.
Yu Xinghai sighed: "Yu Mengzi's son and daughter-in-law went fishing and disappeared, leaving three children behind. The oldest granddaughter is only eight years old, and the two grandsons are five and three years old, waiting for food. They are all waiting for him to feed.
He felt uncomfortable for a long time every time he mentioned this matter. After knowing that the villagers could use big boats to fish, he was happy and sad at the same time. Hey! Many people in the village are buried in the sea every year, and many old people die of pain due to incurable illnesses. I once suspected that Qiongzi was a cursed place, but no matter what, I was born here and I will die here
What are you talking about? Don't mind, adults. Come and sit at our house. ”
When passing by Yu Mengzi’s house, Su Tai happened to see Yu Mengzi’s eight-year-old granddaughter working in the yard with her younger brother on her back. There was also a little boy sitting next to her. The clothes on both of them were very old. , so patched that you can’t tell what it originally looked like, but it’s clean. This shows that Yu Mengzi’s grandfather is real. Carefully take care of your grandchildren.
There are many families like Yu Mengzi in the village. Most of them are young people who have accidents and leave their children to the elderly.
If there are no elderly people. The children can only be left to the family members to help take care of them and grow up eating hundreds of meals.
Everyone seemed to be used to it and didn't feel sorry for themselves.
Su Tai looked a little worried, but she didn't pretend to be a holy mother to give them something.
She understands the truth of love and hatred.
The couple spent the night at Yu Xinghai’s house.
The next day, several strange faces came to Yu Xinghai’s house.
Yu Xinghai explained: "They are all fishermen from nearby villages. After hearing about our cooperation with adults, they also wanted to join and promised to give adults 10% of their income and will never cheat."
This is serious. Yi is not worried, "Village Chief Yu, we are confident if we dare to cooperate with you. We can handle this fishing boat. If there is a problem, you can only find us to solve it. If it is fraudulent, it will be big." If cooperation is not interrupted, you will have to figure out a solution for the fishing boat problem later on."
Yu Xinghai turned pale and immediately swore to the sky, "Don't worry, sir, we believe in Poseidon, we will never do this. Such a heartless thing!”
Once people do something bad, they tend to become suspicious, and it’s very easy to get into trouble at sea. He will definitely not take his own life for granted.
"Of course I believe you. Since they all want to join, let's sign the cooperation contract first. I will bring the remaining fishing boats over in the next two days."
After receiving Yu Xinghai's guarantee, Shen Yi naturally didn't want to delay further.
But when drafting the contract, Su Tai made a request, "Village Chief, I only learned about the situation of the villagers in the fishing village today. I hope that the income earned by the villagers from using the fishing boats can be collected by then. How about one part is used to help the orphans and children in the village, and the remaining 80% is distributed among ourselves?"
After hearing this, Yu Xinghai said, He breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became a little more grateful, "To be honest with you, madam, I have wanted to do this kind of thing for a long time, but I was unable to do so before. If I mentioned this matter, some villagers would definitely have objections, but if you open your mouth, , the situation is different.”
Then he called the villagers over to convey Su Tai’s message, and sure enough, many villagers gathered together and whispered. Even if Su Tai couldn't understand their words, she could guess what they meant from their expressions, and her face darkened immediately.
Seeing that she was unhappy, the discussion volume suddenly dropped by half.
Su Tai said: "Village Chief, if those people don't agree, you can just use my fishing boat and exclude them."
This tone sounded like an angry and willful lady.
Yu Xinghai quickly apologized and conveyed Su Tai’s meaning again.
Now, everyone shut up. Not only did they have no objections, they even urged Yu Xinghai to stamp his fingerprints quickly to avoid losing the meat in his mouth.
Yu Xinghai pressed this handprint very happily, and the other village chiefs stepped forward to finish the contract.
Shen Yi took the contracts and took Su Tai away.
The fishing boats will stay in the harbor, and the people in Yu Xinghai will make arrangements by themselves.
Until dark, Su Tai brought three other fishing boats to the sea. The three fishing boats were connected end to end. After entering the harbor, the couple waited until dawn for someone to take over before leaving.
When Yu Mengzi learned that Su Tai and Shen Yi fought for benefits for them, the elderly and children who could not get on the fishing boat, he was moved to tears and often talked about it in front of his granddaughter and grandson.
At this time, Shen Yi and Su Tai had already taken a carriage to another fishing village, and followed the same pattern and signed contracts with five other fishing villages.
The two places, one to the east and one to the west, are far apart and do not operate in the same sea area, so the possibility of encountering them is extremely small.
After the matter was done, the couple could finally breathe a sigh of relief. If nothing else, at least the two places they chose were among the poorest fishing villages in Qiongzi. Let’s see what the effect is. If the effect is good, go to It is not impossible to cooperate with other fishing villages in the future.
After finishing their work, it was time for the couple to return. When they came, the ice field was still desolate, but when they returned, they saw green grassland.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the grassland is as far as the eye can see. Herds of cattle, horses and sheep are grazing on the grass, drinking the clear melted water from the Tianshan Mountains. The air is fresh, and even the wind blowing is freer than other places.
In such an environment, Su Tai's depressed mood improved significantly.
The carriage passed by the only town on the ice sheet. Su Tai thought that she had not been to Ke Dasong's family yet, so she immediately entered the gate of time and space to get a lot of things and asked Shen Yi to take her there.
When Ke Dasong went to Dongmen Village in the early years, he said that the towns on the ice field were similar to their villages there, except that the population was a little denser.
The couple did not have too many expectations for the town, but they did not expect that it was completely different from what Ke Dasong said.
There is a very spacious main street in the town, probably to facilitate the passage of sheep and cattle. On both sides of the main street are shops and courtyards for people to live.
Perhaps due to the strong wind on the ice sheet, these buildings look a bit low, but they are all made of stone, so they are not strong enough to withstand the cold.
The carriage seemed a bit rare in the town, and many people stuck their heads out to look at it curiously.
Su Tai originally wanted to ask where Ke Dasong's home was, but not long after entering the town, she saw a familiar face, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Cousin!"
Ye Xiahua, who was about to enter the room, suddenly turned around and looked at Su Tai for a few seconds. Her eyes widened suddenly and she was so excited that she shouted loudly, "Mom! My cousin and cousin's husband are here!"
