Chapter 271 Just give up when you’re ready
Li Changle thought about how many families suddenly had televisions in their previous life, "I think so."

I still vaguely remember that the village loudspeaker shouted for a long time, asking everyone to take the initiative to send the salvaged items to the border police station.

I kept shouting for several days and heard that some people sent back some worthless items, but most of them were left behind.

He is not very interested in the TV. His goal is a freezer. If he can get a few of them home, it will be much more convenient to stock up on supplies.

Suddenly I thought of the current electricity. In addition, most of the electrical wires in rural households these days are flexible wires, and the square footage is not enough. Even putting up a TV requires a voltage stabilizer.

If you use several freezers at the same time, the electrical wires in your home might start to smoke.

A TV is also good, and you can also get a tape recorder, a radio, some small appliances, a watch or an electronic watch or something.

He is not greedy and is satisfied with getting one free one for each family.

Li Changle looked at the fishing boat that was following behind them, and then looked at the objects that were getting closer and closer to them. At this time, he could clearly identify those objects. They were all cardboard boxes, wooden boxes, and snakeskin bags.

A cardboard box slowly approached the fishing boat. Chen Yongwei was quick-witted and quickly hooked the packaging tape on it with an iron hook and pulled it to the side of the hull.

Li Changle reached out and grabbed the packaging bag on top, and the two of them worked together to pull the carton onto the deck.

He rubbed his sore arm and looked at the wet cardboard. He saw that it was covered with English letters. He couldn't recognize any English letters except the pinyin letters, but the pattern on it should be a tape recorder.

Brother Li Er, who followed behind, also saw a cardboard box, so he simply turned off the engine, picked up the iron hook and started working. Since he couldn't pull up the big one, he pointed at the small one and tried to scoop it up.

The two fishing boats that followed were excited to see that they had salvaged something, and they sped up their speed towards the floating cardboard box.

A middle-aged man quickly hooked a cardboard box and pulled it onto the deck. When he saw the TV pattern on the box, he smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

"Haha, now I have something to watch on TV."

The people on the other fishing boat lost their composure at all. One of them jumped directly into the water, grabbed a box tied with packing tape and pulled it towards the fishing boat.

He turned around and saw the gloomy faces of Li Changle and the others. His eyes suddenly widened. He was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand what was going on. He couldn't help laughing, "Brother, how many cuttlefish did you get?"

"No cuttlefish, just some squid."

The two chatted briefly and then got back to work.

Catching this is much more exciting than catching squid.

Li Changle quickly hooked a large package with an iron hook. Chen Yongwei reached out and lifted it up. He pressed it and felt that it was either cloth or clothing.

At this time, more and more cardboard boxes floated towards this side. When a few people were busy, several fishing boats came and joined the salvage activities.

Some of them were familiar faces. After looking at each other, they didn't say hello and continued to do their own things.

At this moment, someone in front suddenly shouted, "Awu Luan, I saw it first."

The sturdy man who was holding the cardboard box glared at me and said, "So what if you saw it first? I grabbed it first. You bastard, you have so many things, why do you want to snatch them from me?"

The man who was shouting had a gloomy face. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that his fellow boatmen had hooked a wooden box, so he hurried forward to help.

Over there, two more people started fighting over a cardboard box. "Give it to me. I fished it out."

"Fuck, my iron hook has been hooked, and you're still trying to snatch it from me. Are you blind?"

"Pighead, you want to fight, right?"

The man on the same boat heard the noise and came over, grabbing the packing tape. The man holding the hook saw that the situation was not good and let go of the hook angrily.

Li Changle and the other two looked at each other, then looked at the dozen or so cardboard boxes and several packages on the deck. There was a TV, a tape recorder, and some treasures that they didn't know what they were.
In the distance, more and more fishing boats were heading towards this sea area. Thinking of the few people who almost got into a fight just now, he felt that this was not a place to stay for long, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

We have already made a lot of money, we should be content. Being too greedy will bring bad consequences. The owners of these goods, as well as the Zhao brothers and Wang Mazi's family, have ended up in their current situation because of their greed.

Li Changle was about to call for a stop, but Chen Yongwei grabbed a large wooden box and said, "Brother, this thing is quite heavy. Come and give me a hand."

When Li Changle saw the size of the wooden box, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly reached out to pull it. The two of them tried hard but failed to pull it up. Brother Li turned off the engine, put down the steering wheel and went forward to help, but failed to pull it up.

"I'll jump in and push it up." Chen Yongwei said and jumped into the water. He lifted the wooden box with his shoulders, and the three of them pulled the wooden box onto the deck at the same time.

"Awei, come up, stop fishing." Li Changle wiped his black face and reached out to pull him up.

"Brother, there are still so many, do you really have to leave?" Chen Yongwei said reluctantly.

"We have to go! Pack your things."

"Okay!" Chen Yongwei hurried to pack up.

Li Changle walked to the driver's seat and said to Big Brother Li who was looking at them in confusion, "Brother, let's go."

"You're leaving now?" Brother Li looked at him puzzledly, "There are still many!"

"That's enough." Li Changle said in a deep voice, "If we wait any longer, the anti-smuggling ship will arrive. It's better to leave now than to leave then."

After hearing this, Big Brother Li nodded decisively, "Okay, let's go." Li Changle shouted to Second Brother Li who was not far away, gestured to him to leave, and saw him going towards the driver's seat, then he felt relieved.

The two fishing boats slowly sailed away from the waters of Baisha Island. Several fishing boats that were salvaging saw them leaving and laughed at them, saying that they were more timid than mice.

Li Changle and his companions ignored what these people said and walked forward. They saw that there were many boats heading towards this side and heading towards Yantou Mountain.

Chen Yongwei looked at the fishing boats and asked, "Brother, if the anti-smuggling boats find out, will they let us return the goods?"

Li Changle nodded, "Of course we have to shout, it can only be voluntary, but if we are caught on the scene, it will be in vain."

Brother Li: "Don't worry, as long as they are not caught on the spot, they will not search every house, they will just shout on the loudspeaker in the village."

Li Changle looked in the direction of the dock and checked the time. It was only six o'clock and the craftsmen had not arrived yet. After thinking for a while, he went over and said to Brother Li, "Brother, let's go back to Nanshan and go to the place where those cargo ships docked last time."

"Okay!" Brother Li turned right and headed towards the South Mountain. Seeing this, Brother Li followed.

Ten minutes later, the two boats arrived at the place where the cargo ship was docked, and Brother Li drove the fishing boat slowly towards the shore.

Chen Yongwei set up the gangplank and said to Li Changle, "Brother, I'll go pull the cart."

"I'll go pull it, you help the eldest and second brothers carry the things off the boat."

Li Changle quickly walked ashore and jogged all the way to the path at the foot of the mountain. He saw Li Xiaoyang riding a tricycle with Li's father and Li Daxiao, taking Zhou Ruonan and her son to the village.

He paused for a moment, and when they reached the corner, he ran into the valley. Mrs. Li saw him coming back and was stunned for a moment when she saw him, "What have you been doing? Why do you look so gloomy?"

"The squid sprayed ink on me." Li Changle strode towards the room where the cart was placed.

Mrs. Li suddenly remembered something and ran after him and said, "Anan has only been gone for a while, you can still catch up if you chase him."

"I saw it." Li Changle put the cart on the axle, "Sister-in-law, find the tarpaulin."

"Oh!" Mrs. Li hurried into the house and came out holding the tarpaulin. "Where's your brother?"

"At the beach." Li Changle took the tarpaulin, put it on the cart, pulled it up and walked towards the beach.

Seeing how anxious he was, Mrs. Li felt a little worried. After thinking for a moment, she said hello to the kitchen and trotted after him.

"Ah Le, why didn't you guys go to the dock?"

"We got some stuff. Let's keep it safe here. Don't tell anyone when we go back later."

"Ah!" Mrs. Li thought of the watch and the maritime radio, nodded, and quickly followed him to the beach. She looked at the cardboard boxes on the shore in surprise for a while, her mouth opened almost as big as an egg, and then slowly closed it.

Brother Li picked up a package by himself, which consisted of two square cardboard boxes, and it was impossible to tell what was inside. There were also two long and flat boxes, and judging from the patterns on them, they should be cigarettes.

Li Changle and his team salvaged a lot of things, including a television, a tape recorder, clothes, and even a freezer before leaving.

Mrs. Li touched this and that happily, "That's good. Those brats don't have to guard Secretary Wang's house anymore."

Brother Li put the package on the cart and said, "We can't use it now. We'll take it out after the village loudspeaker has called for it to be used again."

Li Changle looked at the half-soaked cartons and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. You see, these cartons have been soaked in seawater. If the machines inside are not wrapped in plastic film, it will be useless to pull them back."

Brother Li nodded and said, "Yes, seawater contains salt. If water gets in, all our efforts will be in vain."

Mrs. Li was quite open-minded. "Who cares? It didn't cost a penny. Let's take it back and try it out. If it works, we'll use it. If it doesn't, we'll spend some money to find someone to fix it and use it again."

Brother Li: "Take it back and put it away first, don't let those brats at home know about it."

"Let's go to A-Le's room. My sister-in-law, Xiao Hai and Xiao Zhou are all gone." Mrs. Li said, and then asked, "Are you going out to sea again today?"

"After eating and resting for a while, I'll go collect the jars and traps."

"Take Xiaoyang with you when you go, and let him go fishing to earn money."

"It would be fun if we took him with us?" said Brother Li. "Let him go with Ah Yu, so that we can know whether the food from the sea is delicious or not?"

"Okay, I'll let him go when he comes back."

The four of them hurriedly lifted all the things onto the cart, covered it with a tarpaulin, and hurriedly drove it home. As soon as they reached the intersection, they met Wang Daobiao's wife coming out of the house.

"Wow! You bought so many things so early in the morning?"

Li Changle suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "I asked someone to help me buy some cement."

"Good morning, cousin." Sister Li walked up to her with a smile, "I used to hear them say that building a house is harder than autumn harvest. I only realized how hard it is when I started working on it myself!"

"Yes, when Dao Biao and I were building this house, I lost more than ten pounds. My mother said I looked unrecognizable."
