It got dark late in the summer, and he was extremely familiar with the road from the city to the village. He didn't know how many times he had run there. He wanted to go back early before it got dark. Except for curves and mountain roads, he took all other major roads.
Speeded up.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, it happened to be dark, leaving only a little hazy light.
"When I get to my sister-in-law, the sound of this motorcycle sounds really majestic, eh~"
"You're driving too fast, it's too windy, the wind blows directly from your ears..."
"It's so bumpy. My butt bounced several times. Fortunately, I held on tightly, otherwise I would have been thrown out..."
"The wind is strong, there is a lot of sand, and I can't even open my mouth..."
"Sister-in-law, Ah Hai and the others will be shocked when they see me, right? Haha, if they knew that I could learn motorcycles from you, they would be extremely envious, haha..."
Lin Guangyuan was extremely excited along the way. After holding it back all the way, he now felt that he had a lot to say.
Ye Yaodong ignored him, turned in from the entrance of the village and drove towards his home. When he arrived at the entrance of his home, it was already dark. For such a short period of time, there was still a little light when he arrived at the entrance of the village.
Really, it only takes an instant for the sky to turn dark.
As soon as the motorcycle stopped, the family dog ​​ran out and circled around the motorcycle, barking and barking. Even the little puppy was rubbing against the motorcycle.
Before Lin Guangyuan could get out of the sidecar, the dogs jumped in one after another. He was surprised and quickly got out holding the tattered quilt.
"Sister-in-law, your dog's life is pretty good, isn't it? He can even ride a motorcycle."
"Not only that, they all sleep inside at night, and they have to fight and win before they can sleep."
"Humans are worse than dogs."
"Cousin Ayuan..."
The children behind me screamed in surprise one after another.
"Why are you here, Ayuanyou? Don't you need to help the family?"
"Cousin Ayuan, is the city fun?"
In the blink of an eye, everyone gathered around them, calling Lin Guangyuan affectionately, forgetting that he was such a living person. Only Ye Xiaoxi hugged his legs and called him daddy sweetly.
Ye Yaodong smiled and lifted the child up, "You still have a conscience, the others don't have a conscience, no one can see me standing here like a living person, call me."
As soon as he was reminded of this, others quickly turned their heads and called him.
"Go, go, don't worry, open the quilt and get an ice pack first."
Only then did Lin Guangyuan remember the pack of popsicles he was holding.
"Is this going to melt soon?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just melted a little, but it's still edible. You can lick it..."
"Ah... there are popsicles... great, dad, did you bring them back for us?"
"Popsicles...popsicles...there are so many..."
"One for each person."
"Great, what are these bags of? Is there water in them?"
"It's ice water. It's melted a little now, just in time to drink."
Ye Yaodong explained, then took an orange-flavored one, bit it open a small opening, and handed it to Ye Xiaoxi, who kept shouting "I want it, I want it" and was about to pounce to get it.
"What's the rush? Others don't have it, so you're still afraid of not having it."
Her eyes widened, she held it in both hands and sucked hard, took one sip and then took it away, "Ha~ It's so cold~"
"Does it taste good?"
She nodded heavily.
Lin Xiuqing came out of the room and said with a smile: "Why are you coming back so late? I thought you were just going to collect accounts and deliver something today, and you should be back soon. Why did Ayuan bring it back too?"
"Sister-in-law!" Lin Guangyuan shouted loudly.
"Something happened and we were delayed for a while. You guys will step aside."
Ye Yaodong put Ye Xiaoxi on the motorcycle and asked her to hold it in place. Don't just eat too much, and push the motorcycle into the yard first.
Lin Xiuqing was afraid that she would fall if she ate too much, so she stood by and supported her, "Just put it down for her."
"fine."
"Let's go in and eat first. You probably haven't eaten yet at this late hour, right? I don't know if A Yuan came back too and didn't leave any more food. I'll cook a bowl of noodles again."
"Cook instant noodles for him."
Lin Guangyuan responded excitedly, "Okay, I want to eat instant noodles. It's great. It's better to eat at my sister-in-law's house. It's so good."
"Mom, I want to eat too..."
Ye Yaodong said: "Then buy a few more bags and cook more."
"I've just finished eating, and now I'm craving for instant noodles again. Do you have a bottomless stomach? You're still eating popsicles in your mouth, and holding a pack in your hand, and you're thinking about instant noodles again. Can you eat them?"
"be able to eat!"
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang said in unison.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Go buy it, I'll eat first."
"Mom, it's better to eat instant noodles with soda!" Ye Chenghu said with a smile.
"Do you want to eat the whip?"
"Hehe~"
As soon as Lin Guangyuan came over, it was as if he added a handful of firewood to the water in the pot. The children became more lively and chattered non-stop. Ye Yaodong could hear the noise outside while sitting in the room eating.
After not seeing each other for a while, our sudden arrival made us feel more familiar. Originally, a group of children were all about the same age.
When Lin Xiuqing went to the store to buy instant noodles and came back, the sound of yelling at the door became even louder.
Ye Chenghu was so excited that he did two somersaults on the ground, "It's great that dad is back..."
"You still have to count on me to cook for you!"
"Hey, it's okay, mother."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him sideways before entering the room.
Ye Xiaoxi, who was behind her, followed her into the house, then moved to the stove, squatted next to the old lady, supported her chin with both hands, and looked at the blazing fire in the stove.
The old lady has boiled the water in advance, so the instant noodles can be cooked as soon as they are brought into the house, and can be eaten immediately after being boiled.
She shrugged her nose and smacked her mouth a few times, "It smells so good~"
After saying that, he immediately stood up and moved to Lin Xiuqing's feet. He stood on tiptoes, but he couldn't see the stove. He scratched his head and felt uncomfortable. He kept circling around Lin Xiuqing's feet, and from time to time he tried to reach the stove with both hands.
Taiwan, busy all the time.
Ye Yaodong sat at the table and watched her spinning back and forth. He was so anxious that he walked over with a smile and picked her up, "I can see it now."
"Hmm, it smells so good, it smells so good~ The instant noodles smell so good~"
These were the words she kept turning over and over in her mouth, and as soon as she heard them, she knew she was also hungry.
Ye Yaodong touched her bulging belly and asked, "Can you still eat it?"
"I'm so hungry~I haven't eaten enough~"
Lin Xiuqing turned around and looked at her funny, "We have just finished eating. You have to speak with your conscience. How can you be so greedy?"
The old lady smiled and said: "How can a child not be greedy? Give her a small bowl to taste."
The smell of the instant noodles was fragrant and strong. As soon as I put it in the pot and added the seasonings, the aroma immediately spread for thousands of miles. All the children screamed and ran in.
"The instant noodles are ready..."
"Go and wash your hands. You have all eaten. Each of you only has a small bowl. Ayuan hasn't eaten yet."
Ye Chenghu stretched his neck happily and looked into the pot, "We can just drink the soup."
Ye Chengyang also said: "The soup tastes better."
The other children ran in to take a look, were envious, and then ran out to play, pushing and shoving.
Lin Guangyuan sat at the table happily, "I'm so smart. It's so wise to come to my sister-in-law's house. You still have TV at home to watch!"
Ye Chenghu eagerly ran to turn on the TV to show off, "You can watch it at our house as long as you like. We'll watch it while we eat."
Ye Yaodong ignored the noise among them. After eating, he took the cloth bag on the table and called Lin Xiuqing to come into the room and count the money.
"It's time to count money again..."
"Huh? Why do I think you sound unhappy when you say this? There are actually people who don't like counting money, and it's their own money."
Lin Xiuqing laughed, "No way, I just feel that we count money so frequently now, we have to count money every two days. This month I have been sitting in the room counting money every three to five days."
"Isn't this good? This means that our family has been making a lot of money. Only when we have enough money can we count the money every day."
"Well, it's a good thing. Let's count them together. I haven't gone to the city to collect the bill for a month. This trip will probably cost seven to eight thousand or even ten thousand."
Ye Yaodong thought about it, hesitated, and then told her about the filling machine.
Although there is no sign of it yet, it is still necessary to order more large fermentation barrels and prepare them. Now there are more fishing boats, including 17 trawlers alone. Let these boats deliver daily groceries to the workshop.
The number adds up to a lot.
When several large boats are gradually acquired next year, and the harvesting boats are available, the amount of catch sent back and forth will be even more amazing.
We must make preparations early and reserve containers early so that we can keep up with production. The introduction of filling and plastic sealing equipment is also inevitable.
Tell her in advance that it is necessary to prepare early.
Lin Xiuqing was sorting the money and was about to start counting when she heard him talk about this, so she had to stop and talk first.
"I asked you why you came back late today. What does the ice water bag look like? I didn't look carefully just now."
"I'll go out and pick one up for you."
He immediately went out, picked up an empty bag of water from the ground at the door, ate it one by one, and threw it away on the floor.
Originally, there were only a dozen or twenty children brought back. There were so many children at home, and one or two children would be divided into two, and three or two would be gone.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the plastic bag he had picked up, holding it in his hand and looking back and forth, "It looks like it won't leak. It's quite thick to the touch. The popsicles are still covered with paper. This is better than
Those bags of instant noodles are thick.”
"Yeah, this ice water can be filled, and it can definitely be filled with fish sauce. They are all liquids. If we can get this kind of machine to produce, then it will be easier for us to transport and distribute in the future. We don't need to rely on those big companies.
If the tank is transported back and forth, it is prone to damage."
"Furthermore, this kind of bagging is also convenient for transporting to distant places. Otherwise, our large-tank transportation can only be done in surrounding towns, and the amount of transportation at one time is limited."
"With this kind of small bag, just pick up a wooden box and it can hold a hundred kilograms. You can keep stacking it up for easy access. Even if there are a few broken ones, you are not afraid. Anyway, we will make a small bag of one kilogram by then.
If you install it, it will be much lower than if a large tank were to burst, resulting in a loss of more than 100 kilograms."
"And when people come to buy it, they don't have to use bottles. They can just take a small bag home, cut it with scissors, and then pour it into the bottle. It's a lot more convenient."
Lin Xiuqing nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and felt that what he said made sense, "It's really convenient to use these small bags to pack one pound per pound. You don't have to go out with bottles. You can just go to the store and bring 100 pounds."
It’s convenient for selling, and vendors can carry it with them on their shoulders. Before, we put a whole vat in a small shop and sold it.”
"That's right."
"How much does this machine cost? Does this kind of bag also cost money?"
"Definitely. I don't know how much it is. I asked today but I didn't find out. I was even kicked out."
"Ah, we don't sell ice water. We just asked where we bought the machine and didn't tell you?"
"Isn't that right? I went straight to the door and asked the machine and they kicked me out. I told them that I was not a fellow traveler and they ignored me. People probably wouldn't believe me if I just said something in vain. Anyway, it didn't happen for a while.
We’re not in such a hurry, let’s ask people first, and we’ll prepare more containers in advance. Anyway, when there are more ships next year, the amount of fermentation will definitely increase, so there’s nothing wrong with preparing in advance.”
"Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow and order more large wooden barrels. The capacity of the wooden barrels is larger. The large water tank only weighs a few hundred kilograms, which is not as good as the large wooden barrels. However, I have to order more large water tanks. Anyway, over there
The open space is also large. All the fishing boats have been fishing for jellyfish this month, and the remaining tanks are enough, so I didn’t place any more orders.”
"You can order more as you see fit. You can use them anyway. I'll let you know after I ask someone to find out. Anyway, the money we have on hand is more than enough for anything."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "You just feel like you have a lot of money on hand and you always want to spend it."
"I just want to spend it in useful places, so that it can be used rationally and become more and more."
Lin Xiuqing looked at him expectantly, "I think we are pretty good as we are now, and we have enough money. You don't have to worry too much. It's quite troublesome to deal with the old man and the stall is too big.
"
Ye Yaodong touched her head, with a warm expression on his face, "I only have less than 200,000 yuan on hand. You think it's a lot now, but you won't think it's a lot later. Although we can make money from other things, in our country
It is also developing at a rapid pace. It will really not matter in the future, and everything on hand will have to be eliminated."
"All right."
"Don't worry, I must be messing with something I know. In the past few years, have you seen when I have been unreliable and when have I made you lose money?"
"Okay, then you can figure it out. If you need anything, let me know in advance."
"Well, let's count the money and see if it adds up to 200,000."
"Maybe it's close. I don't count these fragmentary coins now. They are all picked up separately and thrown into the jar. I only count the ones above a few cents. There is no way to count each one so clearly. Anyway, in the ledger
You can probably just remember it."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong also sat beside her bed and counted silently, and there were constant laughter and laughter outside the house.
After they counted the money and went out, the old lady had already cleaned up the dishes and washed the dishes, leaving the main room in order.
There were sounds of children shouting and shouting at the door.
"Ayuan, let's go to the workshop to play basketball tomorrow. Uncle San said that playing basketball can help you grow taller. The workshop over there has been empty for the whole month. It's so cool..."
"Yes, yes, I will go to the workshop tomorrow to play. The ground there is flat and there are not so many sand and stones. It is very convenient to play with anything. You can also make beads."
"It would be nice if it was always empty..."
"No, we can't make any money if our house is empty."
"Then we can go to school to play and bring our skates..."
"Okay, okay..."
Lin Guangyuan's arrival was welcomed by all the children in the family, and even the neighboring children were especially welcomed. Because they knew that he was coming from the city, they all gathered in front of their homes and made noise.
It wasn't until the parents of each family had finished enjoying the cool weather and went home to go to bed that they called their children back to take a bath and go to bed.
Several members of their family were also called back to take a shower. However, since Lin Guangyuan had just arrived tonight, Lin Xiuqing did not urge them to go to bed early. Instead, she let them watch TV for a while, and then sent them upstairs after 10 o'clock.
sleep.
Ye Yaodong was playing with the fragrant Ye Xiaoxi in his room. After watching her lock the door and window and come in, he said: "Isn't the other room downstairs always empty? There is no dried fish or the smell of salted fish now. Why do we have to have three?
Sleeping together? There are no other beds upstairs, Ayuan is so tall."
"If they want to squeeze together, let them squeeze in. Anyway, there is a bunk on the ground. Whoever falls down at night will sleep on the bunk."
"oh."
Ye Yaodong patted Ye Xiaoxi's butt and said, "Get in."
Ye Xiaoxi laughed playfully and really rolled it twice. He put his feet up on the wall and said, "It's done."
Lin Xiuqing finished taking off her clothes and pants, turned off the light, and crawled to the middle with a smile. She immediately came over again, "I want to drink nei nei..."
"Didn't you just drink malted milk?"
"I still want to eat nei nei..."
She went to tease Lin Xiuqing's clothes herself.
Ye Yaodong raised his upper body and looked over, "It's time to stop breastfeeding. She's already so big, and it's not like there's nothing for her to eat."
"I thought about it too, but I haven't quit for two days. In the middle of the night, she asked me to pick up my clothes and eat her, several times."
"This way, I'll protect you so she can't bite you."
As he spoke, he also put his hand in and held the other one.
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes widened and he couldn't speak while eating food in his mouth, so he reached out to pat his hand.
It just didn't come off after a few pats, so she tried to break it off.
Ye Yaodong raised his head and looked over, meeting her round eyes, "One for each person, it's fair."
Ye Xiaoxi continued to slap his hand angrily.
Lin Xiuqing reluctantly pulled his hand down, "Why are you teasing her? Let her sleep."
"Just quit tomorrow."
"No." She bit out vaguely.
Lin Xiuqing patted Ye Yaodong behind her twice and said, "Stop arguing and let her sleep."
Ye Yaodong put his arm around her waist, moved down again, patted her butt twice and said nothing.
After a long time, Lin Xiuqing lay down straight and pulled down her clothes before asking him, "Is there nothing going on tomorrow?"
"There's nothing going on for the time being. There's no need to run out. I can rest at home for two days."
After coaxing the child, it’s time to coax him.
Yuanyuan also belongs to him.
"When will the six newly purchased boats be brought back?"
"I don't know. I've been busy with work in the past two days, so I don't have time to pay attention to this. I just came back and put it in the factory. It must not be that fast. I'll ask Ah Hai to ask me about it when he goes to the factory tomorrow.
Already."
"Today, a lot of people asked me when the new fishing boat I bought will be back, and they all want to rent it."
"Don't agree to it yet, wait until the boat comes back. Anyway, the fishing boats that followed this trip have made thousands, so there is no need to worry about no one wanting it."
Lin Xiuqing watched as her vest was pulled higher and higher, and she slapped his hand away, "Oh, I'm going to sleep."
"I've been out of work for a month, and you're like this just after I came back. I don't even know how distressed I am."
"Aren't you tired too?"
"A young man in his 20s, why should I be tired? I can be a groom every night."
Ye Yaodong continued to round and flatten it.
"I counted the money at night and it's over 10,000, and I gave it all to you. Why don't you show off and be worthy of me working so hard?"
"Fuck you, don't put too much money on yourself, this is the store's business."
"Okay, fuck your head!"
Lin Xiuqing bit her lower lip, her face turned red.
…
After finishing all the things, Ye Yaodong rarely had a leisurely time. When he woke up naturally, there were no other children in the house except Ye Xiaoxi.
He also sat leisurely at the door, listening to the radio and enjoying the cool air with the old lady.
The old lady was peeling corn husks in her hands. Some of the unpeeled corns were still crawling with a lot of ants. They all looked like black sesame seeds. Ye Xiaoxi squatted at her feet and fiddled with the ants with a branch.
Ants play.
"Where are the brothers?"
"You have to play with me!" Ye Xiaoxi complained aggrievedly.
The old lady smiled and said, "We were all playing over there in the workshop. We ran with them. I just fell down and were picked up by them."
"No wonder."
Ye Yaodong sat at the door for a while, and then went to the workshop to have a look. He was still dozens of meters away when he heard them shouting there.
"You also have a bicycle at home...it's my turn..."
"Stingy guy..."
"Push yours out..."
As soon as he walked in, he saw Ye Chenghu, who was hiding under the front bumper, riding his bicycle diagonally, crookedly, and the pedals were only moving back and forth at a 90-degree angle.
However, he did not fall down.
"If I break your bike, I'll beat you to death."
"No dad, you see I can ride it."
Lin Guangyuan ran over immediately, "Sister-in-law, are you awake? Can you teach me how to ride a motorcycle?"
"Dad, I want it too, I also want to learn..."
"Third uncle, can you teach us a lesson?"
No one was staring at the bicycle anymore, they all ran over to look at him eagerly.
"You are too young, too short, and your legs are not long enough to learn. I will teach you when your feet are long enough in a few years."
The reasons are sufficient and sufficient, and everyone can only regret that they are too young.
Lin Guangyuan happily pulled him back home immediately. Ye Yaodong let him play by himself first, "I got up late today. It's too hot. I'll teach you when the sun goes down in the evening."
"Okay, then when will my brother-in-law take me to the town to find Captain Chen?"
"Let's go later. It's working time now. Going there will only disturb other people's work."
Neither goal was achieved, so he could only regretfully continue to play with others.
When Ye Yaodong had nothing to do, he sat at the gate, chatted with Wang Guangliang and others, and watched these people play by the way.
By the way, I also asked them if anyone at home wants to rent a boat. If so, give them priority. There are quite a lot of boats coming back from this trip. Including boat No. 002, there are 7 boats for rent. It seems that the factory can’t rent any boats.
How long will it take to submit another 003?
If we really get together, we can rent out eight boats together, and renting them all out will be another income at the end of the month.
No one else was here either. Anyway, they were all mixed together and knew what each of them had in mind. It would be fine for him to ask Wang Guangliang directly.
Wang Guangliang directly said that the twins wanted to rent one to their brothers at home, but the others did not have this need. The family farmed and could not go to sea. If they had other jobs, that would be the best.
Apart from those who go to sea, he doesn't need any manpower here, so he can only tell them to pay attention when the time comes and ask them first if there is any work.
"Ye Yaodong...Ye Yaodong...I have your phone number..."
Ye Yaodong was chatting with them when he heard someone running over and saying they had his phone number, and he immediately stood up.
"Where did you call?"
"The call came from the city. He left his number and asked you to come back. He said he would wait for you for five minutes."
"immediately!"
He hurriedly ran to the workshop to chase away the children, then rode his bicycle to the village committee.
Called from the city, his first reaction was to ask the vendor yesterday to inquire about the filling equipment, without thinking about other possibilities.
When he went over and looked at the unfamiliar phone number, he didn't expect it to be Ye Yaohai when he called it.
When he heard the voice, he was confused for a moment, and then the other party announced his home address, which immediately surprised him.
"Ah? Big brother? What's the matter?"
"Some overseas Chinese in my family returned to their hometown some time ago. I also went back. Then I mentioned you to my father and found out that your grandfather is my grandfather's cousin. Then when I paid homage to my ancestors, I checked the genealogy and confirmed it.
Already."
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment with his head full of confusion, and after a while he realized that these were relatives who had not been on the fifth server. They had the same great-grandfather, so were they relatives on the fourth server?
"Ah? Like this? What a coincidence?"
"Yes, and then a few overseas Chinese donated money to repair the ancestral hall. There may be an ancestor worship event for the completion of the ancestral hall in two months. My father knows about it and wants to invite you back. Then you have to remember those who don't have names on your family tree.
Go up. Other branch relatives from other places will also come back."
"Oh, okay, I will convey it to my father later."
Clan ancestral hall activities are a big deal, and names must be recorded in the family tree. This is also a big deal. Although his branch is considered to be separated from his grandfather, his father is probably very happy to be able to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong came out of the village committee still looking confused.
This matter was beyond his cognitive scope. How could such things have happened in his previous life? He didn't know Ye Yaohai in his previous life either.
They just stayed in this fishing village and didn't go anywhere, let alone enter the family tree.
Everything has changed in this life, and they still have an extra ancestral hall?
After he came out of the village committee, he walked all the way to his hometown, digesting the matter as he walked. When he told his father about it, his father still looked confused.
"Ah? Does that mean we have to recognize our ancestors and return to our clan?"
"That's what it seems like."
"Then I need to go talk to your eldest and second uncle... It's amazing... there are actually a bunch of relatives from the provincial capital showing up?"
Chapter completed!
