After everyone went out one after another, Mother Ye said with a look of disgust: "Everyone came to the door just because they smelled the smell, and they didn't think about whether the eggs were fragrant or smelly? Just spread a few words in the village for fear that they would give it to others for free.
Others have occupied it, but I have not. Why do such a large group of people think they are coming to the door at this time?"
"Haha, it's normal. Dongzi's workshop is getting bigger and bigger now, and the dried fish is dried more and more. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that he is making money. How can he dare to mess around like this if he doesn't make money? Then people's eyes will be on him.
"?" Father Ye smiled and reassured her.
"Only you can speak, but we are all mute."
"Looking at what you said, you can't make it so obvious if you don't like them. They're all relatives. You can just kick them out. Why don't you just have a nice chat and send them away?"
"Seriously, I don't see anyone coming to my door usually. Seeing that someone is about to get rich, I'm afraid that I won't take advantage of it."
"It's all like this. If a relative in our family gets rich and earns a lot of money, we will still look up to him and say a few more greetings and say a few nice words when we encounter something or nothing."
The old lady smiled and said: "If Dongzi makes a lot of money and is capable, then he must do more to support his family. It's not wrong for everyone to come and chat. Hurry up and eat. The food is almost cold. It's hot."
It’s already dark, and I haven’t eaten until this hour, so I’m starving.”
Ye Mu pursed her lips and said nothing, just minding her own meal.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "A Dong is also a bad person. He came to remind us that the rich water should not go to other people's fields. He had to let people buy dried fish."
"What I said is correct. Originally, when people weighed goods to us, they gave us money to make money. But in the end, they were all afraid that I would give the opportunity to make money to outsiders."
Suddenly he patted the table, "Oops, I forgot to mention, weren't everyone here just now? You should tell them directly about the tomb repair. It just so happened that everyone came, and grandma was also here, so you should directly tell them
I told them. If they dare not agree, I will let grandma beat them to death with her dragon-headed cane."
The smile on the old lady's face instantly disappeared.
"Everyone only cares about themselves and is unfilial. All their children and grandchildren have been born in vain, and they have not built a grave for their ancestors. When you go to the graves during the Qingming Festival in a few days, tell your grandfather and ask him to tell them dreams and scold them in the middle of the night.
Just scold them."
"You can eat and drink well at home, and you don't care that your grandpa has never enjoyed any blessings in his entire life, and he has never had a good bite. Even after he dies, he will still be out in the wind and sun."
"No wonder your father didn't bless them, but he also bless your family, so that your family can be safe and prosperous. One or two of them have lived in vain for fifty or sixty years. The ancestors don't know how to show filial piety..."
The old lady cursed a lot, became full of anger, stopped eating, put down her chopsticks and went back to the house.
The father and son looked at each other in confusion.
Father Ye also looked depressed, "After a few days of rest, we'll get this done. If you don't cooperate, I'll listen to your grandma. When you go to sweep the grave, cry to your grandpa and let him curse him to death in his dream."
them."
Mother Ye interjected, "The old lady should be allowed to cry at the grave. Dongzi's cry is not as powerful as hers."
"Yes, I understand. When the time comes, I will carry the old lady up the mountain directly and let grandma go to the grave."
"That's okay. Your grandma didn't go up the mountain to take a look last year because her legs were inconvenient."
Ye Mu continued to give advice, "When I go up the mountain or when I come back, I cry while walking... Yes, I cry while walking up the mountain. While crying, I scold them for being unfilial and not repairing the tomb on purpose, so that my father will be exposed on the mountain.
Exposed to the rain and sun."
"Yeah, that's right. Mom's idea is a good one. This way, we don't have to worry about them making excuses saying they don't have money. If they don't have money, they have to borrow money to repair it. There are so many grandchildren, and if one person only contributes a little, how can there be no money?"
Father Ye just watched the mother and son singing and harmonizing, and then arranged things, and the arrangements were very good.
It would take a few strong medicines to cure the problem, and I don't know how many years it will take. If this matter is done early, they will be able to fulfill their big wish, and there will be no need to spend a lot of money in the future.
"Then...then when you have free time, do you want to ask your cousins ​​to come over and talk?"
"Scream, of course I have to scream, but based on the urinary properties of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, I may not be able to convince you. It's easy to say that the second uncle has Brother Asheng on his side, but it's really hard to tell on the eldest uncle's side."
"Okay, let's talk about it first. If you agree, that's the best. If you don't agree, when we go to the grave on the Qingming Festival in a few days, I will carry your grandma to the grave and scold her."
"Um."
The family atmosphere instantly became harmonious again.
It was not the children's business to interrupt what the adults were saying. They didn't understand and didn't care, so they all quickly picked up their food and went to play in a hurry.
Lin Xiuqing had Ye Xiaoxi on her left hand and Pei Yu on her right hand. She was very busy feeding the two of them. After feeding them and getting down to the table, everyone at the table had already finished eating, and she was the only one left to slowly eat.
Eating leftovers.
Seeing that she was the last one to eat, Ye Mu was not in a hurry to clean up the table and left the table for her to clean up. She went out to the workshop to see if the fish sauce fermented last year could be filtered and packaged.
Everything that could be filtered and packaged years ago was filtered out.
The father and son will continue to go fishing steadily, and the groceries they will bring back will definitely be more, and the containers that can be freed must be released as soon as possible. The last batch of large tanks ordered before the year will start construction after the year, but they have not yet been delivered.
With this in mind, she told Ye Yaodong the same thing when she went back after the inspection, asking him to urge him to send it over as soon as possible when he was free.
"Do you still have an empty bucket? When you come back from the sea in a few days, you can go to the county to rush for it. It should be enough now. If you can filter it, filter it. We will go to sea at night, and we will be busy in the next few days.
Not available."
"I'll just mention it. Just remember it. Just take the time to remind me. Maybe I'll deliver it myself during the few days you guys are away."
"Um."
He had to stop in the city on his return trip to the sea and go to the city's shipyard to inquire about the cost and delivery time of building a 30-meter-long fresh-carrying ship.
It should be cheaper than a trawler of the same tonnage and length. After all, there is no need for some trawling equipment. As long as the capacity of the fish bin is larger and the capacity of the ice storage room is larger.
His fresh-harvest ship may not dock with many ships in the early stage, and may not receive many goods. It may be a round trip every other day, but when his number of ships increases, it will definitely be a day trip, and it can be simpler.
And when the time comes, their several ships will definitely enter and exit at the same time, and the distance between them will not be far apart. The efficiency of the fresh harvest ship will also be greatly improved, and there will be no need to sail around the sea like other fresh harvest ships.
.
After Ah Qing agreed yesterday, they didn't discuss it again. The woman probably thought that he had forgotten, or something, so she didn't remind him. She was probably just lucky.
When you come back, you can go ashore to sell some goods through the city, stop by the shipyard for consultation, and then compare the shipyards in the county before making a decision.
There's no rush for such a big thing. Anyway, we have to take the time to ask before we can do it.
He had to give in, so he wasn't afraid of her going back on her word.
After Ye Mu said that, she left. Lin Xiuqing was still eating there, mainly because she was afraid of waste and wanted to eat up all the leftovers and peel the ones with shells smoothly.
"Why are you still eating there?"
"I was the last one to eat. Isn't that what I've been eating till now? It would be a pity to just dump these. If you peel the meat out, you can still make seafood porridge tomorrow."
"What's such a pity..."
"It can't be wasted. It's free anyway. Peel some meat and cook seafood for them. Everyone likes it. You go to bed early and sleep in another room. Don't sleep with us at night, so as not to disturb you.
Can't sleep well."
"I can't sleep so early, why don't I go get my daughter and Xiaoyu back?"
"I don't have time to watch, so I asked you to come back and watch? How can you ask them to sleep so early?"
"I'm just watching. If I go out at night, I won't be able to see my daughter for several days. I'll call her back for a kiss."
Lin Xiuqing shook her head and muttered, "When you are in a good mood, she is 'my daughter' when you are in a bad mood, and when you are not good, she is 'your daughter'. Virtue..."
After a while, I saw him carrying two little girls into the house, one on his left hand and one on his right hand.
Moreover, the two little girls were very curious. They were laughing and joking, holding the dolls in their hands, patting each other and having fun.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I'm going to drop you, I'm going to drop you on the ground."
"No~"
"Yes, you are all blocking my view. I can't see the road ahead. If I don't fall down one of them later, I will have to fall down three!"
Lin Xiuqing turned her head and watched silently as Ye Xiaoxi deliberately took the doll and rubbed it on her father's face, causing him to scream in dissatisfaction and turn his head to dodge.
"Why don't you just squat down and put them on the ground? Why do you have to hold them one by one with your left hand and right hand?"
"Don't you want to hold me for a little longer?"
Ye Yaodong still listened to her and put the child down, originally planning to take it back to the house to play.
"Xiaoyu, uncle, is it fun here? Are you having fun with your sister?"
Pei Yu nodded obediently, revealing her few teeth.
"Then you are not allowed to cry or wet the bed at night, do you understand?"
Lin Xiuqing slapped him hard and said, "You can't say such things to your children at night."
"oh…"
The saying in the countryside is that children are very naughty, and the more you say something in front of her late at night, the more likely she will do it.
"Take them into the house, give them some water, wash their faces and feet before putting them on the bed."
"oh……"
Lin Xiuqing also cleared the table, placed a small bowl of peeled shrimps and shrimps on a higher position on the stove, and knocked on the door of the old lady's room to explain to her.
After all the work was done, when he returned to the room, Ye Yaodong was grabbing the little feet of the two children, putting them back and forth to his mouth, pricking them with his beard, making them giggle and kick their feet. No wonder he heard the news outside just now
There was constant laughter and laughter in the house.
"No, it's so itchy~"
"Don't...itch..."
"You stinky feet, I don't want to smell them."
"You are the one who stinks for talking nonsense...you are the one who stinks..."
"The water has become cold and I don't know how to pour it. I'm still playing with them there." Lin Xiuqing said as she walked over and took out a basin of water next to the bed and poured it out.
"By the way, bring me a basin of hot water. I want to wash my feet too."
"I owed you something in my previous life, so I have to serve you like a cow or a horse."
"Bitterness first, then sweetness. When the child grows up, you will be happy."
"I'm talking about you!"
Ye Yaodong immediately stood up, took the washbasin she was holding, and coaxed in a low voice, "Bring me some water for washing your feet, and then treat it like a cow or a horse? Okay, okay, I'll do it myself."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and said, "Let go. I'll just say whatever you want. I'll go get you some water."
"I didn't ask you to be a cow or a horse, it was you who wanted to be a cow or a horse for me."
"You've got a bargain, so be good, let it go. Get some water for your feet, wash your feet, and go to bed early. We have to go to sea at night. If you go to bed early, you can sleep a little longer."
Ye Yaodong nodded quickly and coaxed, "Well, my wife will still feel sorry for you."
He felt uncomfortable when she mentioned that she owed him something in her previous life. It was he who owed her something.
Think about it, she has no time to spare all day long, she is so busy, she has to take care of her home and children, it is not any easier than him, and now she has one more child to take care of.
He still had to get a washing machine back to lighten her burden, and instantly he was full of motivation again.
Lin Xiuqing left and came back again, changing the basin of hot water again.
However, when he was soaking his feet, the two children did not spare him. They hung around his neck and hugged him, as if they wanted to avenge him for pricking their feet just now.
He casually hugged Pei Yu and shouted, "Don't make trouble, stop making trouble, I'm going to be strangled to death by you."
"I have to, I have to..."
Ye Xiaoxi stood behind him excitedly, hugging his neck and trying to pull him back, but she couldn't do it. He still sat motionless, so she used her hands and feet to climb on top of him.
It wasn't until someone pulled his hair and sat on his neck that he giggled happily.
"Haha, taller than you, taller than you, drive~ drive~"
Ye Yaodong saw her holding his hair and swinging it around, so he quickly used one hand to steady her leg.
"My ancestor, stop driving, he is about to fall..."
One on his head, one on his arms, but his two feet were soaked in the water and he couldn't move.
"Aqing, quickly... put them down quickly."
"Can't figure it out?" Lin Xiuqing was combing her long hair with a comb, a little too lazy to care about him.
"I can't handle it. I really can't handle it. She's so skinny. She actually climbed onto my head and pulled all my hair out. If I lose my hair and look like a Mediterranean girl in the future, it must be your daughter's fault."
"Drive~"
Compared to Ye Xiaoxi, Pei Yu was relatively well-behaved. She didn't move around while sitting in his arms, but looked at Ye Xiaoxi's kicking feet with a curious smile.
He didn't expect Lin Xiuqing anymore. He turned around and carefully moved the good boy in his arms to the bed with one hand. The other hand was still holding the thigh on his shoulder to steady Ye Xiaoxi's body.
After finishing one, he lifted the one on his shoulder, laid it on his lap and spanked it.
"I'll spank you if you're naughty!"
"Don't~ hit you, hit you~"
"Hit you!"
"Pfft~"
"Ah! Damn it, you farted!" Ye Yaodong quickly stopped, "It's over, it's over, my hands are going to rot."
"Hahahaha~ I'll give it to you! I'll give you my fart~"
Lin Xiuqing watched from the side and laughed, "Your daughter is just like you, she farts a lot."
Ye Xiaoxi quickly got up from his knees, climbed onto the bed, then faced his back with her buttocks, and gave another big blow. After the break, she laughed even louder.
"Ah! Damn girl..."
When he heard the noise and wanted to turn around and catch someone, she had already escaped into the bed.
"Hahahaha~"
"Damn girl, get over here and see if I don't hit you, where did you learn..."
Lin Xiuqing was also happy, "Didn't I learn all this from you?"
Ye Yaodong's face was full of laughter and tears, and he looked at Ye Xiaoxi who was smiling a little exaggeratedly and proudly with both anger and amusement.
"Hahahaha~ You stink to death~"
He immediately took the rag beside him, wiped his feet casually twice, and climbed onto the bed to catch the person.
Ye Xiaoxi screamed in fright and jumped up all over the bed. Even Pei Yu yelled after her. The two girls' voices almost lifted the roof.
After Ye Yaodong caught the person, he spread his fingers to grab a handful of air, then put his palm against Ye Xiaoxi's mouth, "Here you eat! Eat what you put in!"
"Ahaha~lue~I'll give it to you~"
She also imitated Ye Yaodong's actions, spread out her little hands and grabbed a handful, and then stuffed her hands into his mouth.
Children learn from adults very quickly.
After a while, the three of them, one old and two young, rolled into a ball on the bed. Ye Yaodong started tickling their armpits, making them roll all over the bed with laughter.
"Okay, okay, don't play anymore. If we continue to make trouble, we won't have the energy. I will definitely not be able to hold back my urine at night. I have to wash the quilt again tomorrow."
"Okay, then I won't play anymore."
But he stopped, and the two children didn't know to stop. They got up right away and stretched out their hands to scratch him.
"Tickle you~tickle~tickle you~tickle you~"
"I won't play with you anymore, I'm going to bed."
"I still want to play~Dad~"
"Let your mother play with you. I'm tired and have to get up early at night."
He was really tired, and playing with two people was not an easy job. He stood up, leaned against the table and took a breath.
Lin Xiuqing also told him to go to bed quickly to avoid endless trouble.
"Then I'm leaving. I won't sleep with you tonight. Just give me a kiss and I'll go out."
He walked to the bed again and put his head in front of the two children, "Hurry up, one on each side, kiss me and then go to bed."
Ye Xiaoxi reluctantly hugged his neck, kissed him, and then patted his head, "Then be good~"
Ye Yaodong responded helplessly, "Okay, I'll be good!"
Pei Yu also imitated Ye Xiaoxi's actions and stepped forward to kiss his cheek.
He also rubbed their little heads and said, "Okay, you guys should sleep well and stop arguing."
After walking out of the house, he did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he first found the two children who were running around, and then went around the workshop to inspect them.
Back in the yard, he also checked around the things in the yard. His father had already organized everything that was going to be taken on the boat at night.
The rice, vegetables and other items to be brought on board have been stacked on the trolley, and the three half-human-high blue buckets are also filled with fresh water. It is very easy to prepare these things, and the vegetables are all homemade.
His father hoeed the fields.
The baskets brought from the ship two days ago were also piled up and placed on the corner. The carts were full of sundries. The baskets had to wait for the second trip to come back and be loaded onto the ship.
After checking, everything was fine, so he closed the doors, windows and lights and went into the house to sleep.
A moment before entering the house, he could still hear the laughter and children's talk from his room, as well as Ah Qing's hesitation.
A person's bed was deserted, and he even flinched as soon as he got in.
"It's so cold! It's so miserable when no one warms the bed!"
He curled up into a ball, pulled the quilt up to his neck, rolled in the edges and pressed it, wrapping himself into a silkworm chrysalis. After a while, he felt that the quilt was no longer so cold.
"It's miserable. It's such a winter. How can those singles sleep here? It's better to have a wife."
Although it is not that cold in March and there is a bit of warmth in the air, it is still quite cool at night, and you need to cover yourself with a thick quilt to keep warm.
We still have to wait until the end of the month before the Qingming Festival to truly take off our cotton-padded clothes.
As the saying goes, spring covers everything and autumn freezes.
When he got up to go to sea at night, he would put on the turtleneck sweater Lin Xiuqing knitted for him, wrap himself up in a large cotton-padded jacket, put on a scarf and a hat, and push the cart out with his father, fully armed.
Just in time, when his eldest and second brothers got up and were about to go to the pier, his father asked them to help carry the baskets from the yard to the pier. Anyway, the space on their carts was still very empty, so there was no need for them.
He had to make two trips to deliver the goods.
"Dad, how many days do you plan to go on this trip?"
"I don't know, let's see the wind and waves. If there is no wind and waves, we will stay for an extra day or two. If there are waves, we will come back two days earlier. Who can say for sure about the sea? Once the food is eaten, I will probably come back."
"Oh, the weather has been pretty good recently. There has been a lot of rain in spring. Taking advantage of the recent good weather, I can stay at sea as long as I can and earn more money."
"Look, it all depends on God's reward."
The four father and son pushed two carts and chatted while walking outside the pier. They also met a few people from the same village on the way, and they greeted each other and walked together.
If someone is traveling with you, you can turn off both flashlights to save battery.
While Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were both there, they also used their ship to transport the goods to the Dongsheng in the middle of the sea.
The crew of the Harvest were also waiting on the shore, and Father Pei was a step behind them.
After they had loaded all the supplies onto the boat and everything was ready, he took the boat and arrived belatedly.
"Oops, I lingered at the door for a long time today. I'm late. You must have been waiting for a long time."
"Don't be in a hurry, Lao Pei. Take your time. We have just boarded the boat and put everything in order."
"Hey, okay, okay, let's set off immediately after we load all the supplies onto the ship."
The lights of the fishing boats flickered on the sea, and they all sailed slowly and quickly from the shore to the middle of the sea, until only a row of small wooden boats were left on the shore, swaying with the waves.
The village was dark, without any light, only some flashlights flickering on the pier.
After the Harvest had finished moving the goods, they immediately started moving.
The Dongsheng slowly moved forward, and the Harvest followed closely behind.
The already cold sea breeze roared in their ears even more arrogantly.
The last time we went to sea, the Harvest was leading the way. They followed steadily without having to identify the direction. This time they just set off in front.
Ye Yaodong moved forward along the familiar route. He was familiar with the first section of the route, and his father was relieved to let him take the lead.
"Slow down a little later and let the Harvest go to the front. It will be safer and easier for you to follow behind."
"I got it, I'll let the Harvest take the lead after the fuel and ice are refueled. You and the boatmen should go back to the cabin to sleep first."
He must have known that it would be easier to follow behind, but the front part didn't matter.
Father Ye was quite relieved about him now and believed in him. After giving him some advice, he went back to the cabin to sleep with everyone.
When the sky clears up later, they only need to get up and help two people get off the net. They have just set out to sea for half a day, which is relatively free. They have also gained some experience, so they have to hurry up when they can rest.
Time to catch up on sleep.
It was the first time we went to sea a few days ago, and everyone was very excited. They all stood on the deck, and no one went back to the cabin to sleep. This time there was nothing new.
In the dark night, on the sea at this time, you can still see the fishing boats moving forward, with the lights above swaying as they move forward.
However, with their full exertion, the distance gradually narrowed until they exceeded it.
The journey on the boat is boring, which is wrong. It should be fishing at sea. For these old fishermen, it is boring. Day after day, year after year, they repeat the same work, repeat the wind, sun and rain.
Rain.
Only young people in cities who have never been to the sea find it new and fun to fish. For old fishermen like them, life at sea is very hard.
There is excitement, but what they seek is peace, not excitement, but also the joy of a harvest.
However, people in the city are willing to pay a sufficient remuneration, and the old fishermen are also happy to take guests out to sea to experience it. That is definitely not the case now. Everyone has just made ends meet, and there is no way to pursue this kind of excitement.
At this time, everyone had gone to rest. Ye Yaodong was the only one in the cockpit, and he was used to it.
After driving into the town, after adding ice and gas, he told Uncle Pei that he could drive in front and the Dongsheng could follow behind.
Then he waited for the Harvest to sail first, and the Dongsheng to follow. This would save him trouble, and Uncle Pei would be more at ease leading the way.
The two boats moved forward unhurriedly, one behind the other, until dawn broke, and Pei's father said through the line that he was going to slow down and get off the net. He immediately agreed, slowing down and changing directions at the same time.
Then he went to the cabin to call his father and the two boatmen who had been working together with his father.
He left the boat to his father to drive, and asked the two of them to help him lower the net together. After lowering the net, he went to bed.
Anyway, before the first network is picked up, they are all idle. After the first network is picked up, they have to work continuously and change shifts. If they want to rest, they have no free time, so they can only work in shifts.
It’s not that he is a capitalist, but that’s how fishing boats operate at sea. Every minute and second they are running, they are eating gas and money. How can they give you a good sleep before working? Otherwise, why are the wages at sea so high?
Chapter completed!
