In total, she was away from home for four days and spent two days traveling at sea, but Lin Xiuqing felt like she had been away from home for a long time.
Looking at the seaside just around the corner, she stood on the helm and kept asking him happily, how long will it take?
Ye Yaodong became impatient even if she asked questions.
"Why don't you drive it? Keep asking."
"Where would I be? It's already dark. Why does this trip take so long?"
"Can the wind direction be the same when I went there as when I came back? It's normal that it takes a little time."
Moreover, coming back from the city is further away than coming back from the town before, and of course it takes a little longer.
"How long will it take?"
"It's long-winded, twenty minutes at most. Did you know that I broke my leg running at Wangshan? It looks close, and it takes a while to drive. If I'm long-winded, I'll drive straight into the city."
Lin Xiuqing shut up.
But when the fishing boat was approaching the dock, she shouted happily, "It's here, it's here..."
It was already completely dark, and there was no one on the pier. Only when they docked in the middle of the sea, the light of the flashlight came out from the workshop, and then the light of the flashlight continued to the pier.
"Did A Liang, who was on duty at the workshop, know that we were back and came out from the dock to pick us up?"
"Isn't this nonsense? The lights on the boat are still on. When such a big boat comes in, they will know we are back just by looking at the beach. If they don't know to come to pick us up, they will deduct their wages."
"Is it parked? It's parked, let's go down?"
"Let's go."
Ye Yaodong came out of the cockpit and picked up his password box. The couple went down together. The boatmen lowered the anchor into the sea when the boat stopped. At this time, everyone was holding their luggage on the deck and waiting for the fishing boat to pick them up.
"Do you want to move the lighter down?"
"No, just put it in the cabin and lock it. I'll take it to the city tomorrow morning, so there's no need to move it around."
"Well, that will save you the trouble and don't have to move it."
There was no need to work at all on this trip. They only had to follow the boat back and forth. Moreover, they worked as lighters there for two days and each of them earned several dollars.
Now I can rest again when I come back, and everyone has a smile on their face, especially the two people who have just been replaced. They didn't do much work, so they received double wages.
After waiting for the fishing boat from the other side to come and pick them up, Ye Yaodong told them, "Go back and rest for two days. If there is no accident, we will go out to sea the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
After saying that, he got on the bicycle, let Ah Qing sit on it, and let his father walk back alone.
Lin Xiuqing carried two baskets in both hands, filled with the things she bought.
As soon as we walked to the door of the house, the children all shouted excitedly.
"Dad is back?"
"Where is my mother? Dad, where is my mother?"
"Mom is behind..."
Ye Yaodong's bicycle was forced to stop at the door, and Lin Xiuqing also got off the bicycle.
"Mom, why did you come back by bicycle?"
"Yes, did you go riding a bicycle with dad?"
"Mom, what are the things in your basket?"
The two brothers chatted around Lin Xiuqing incessantly. After getting off the bicycle, Ye Yaodong could only stand aside. No one asked him a question, as if he had not just come back.
They just called him dad when they met face to face, and they called him dad because they were asking for their mother. Later, he didn't hear anyone calling him at all. Even his nephews all followed the two brothers and surrounded Lin Xiuqing.
So heartless!
It’s so chilling!
No one cares about him!
Everyone gathered around Lin Xiuqing and asked questions.
She didn't have time to answer, but no one came to him to ask him.
No, there were still people coming up to him to ask for help, but their legs and feet were a little slower, and they couldn't compete with those stinky kids.
"You're back? It's good that you're back. You're back pretty quickly this time, so you don't have to worry about it. You're back first. I'll make it for you if you want to eat." The old lady said cheerfully.
"Whatever, let's go in first."
He pushed his luggage and bicycle in together. No one at the door had come in yet, and Lin Xiuqing was still being pestered.
"Those stinky kids, haven't I come back too? No one comes to me. They usually shout so affectionately, but today it's like they're blind."
"Haha, they asked me 8 times a day, why haven't you come back yet?"
"Are you asking about their mother? I didn't see them asking that when I wasn't at home."
"They are used to you being away from home for three days and two."
"I knew you didn't ask me."
"Haha, let's take a shower first? You can probably eat it after you wash it off."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and felt that he should not be such a failure. He also had his daughter. If his daughter was here, she would definitely hold his lap.
"Where's Xiaojiu? Haven't you come back these days?"
"No, we're all at Emi's. We came over to play with her yesterday, but we didn't come over tonight. I'll take her with her after dinner later."
He nodded and didn't say anything. He was just waiting to sort out his things, pick a few items to send to their home, and pick up the child by the way.
It wasn't until the water in the pot was bubbling that Lin Xiuqing walked in surrounded by the children.
"Okay, you all go and play, everything will be shared among you, so you don't have to follow me anymore."
Ye Chengyang held the cake in his hand and asked eagerly: "Mom, you won't go out again, will you?"
Ye Chenghu guarded her uneasily, "Mom, just let my dad go out next time. Don't go far away."
Ye Yaodong couldn't bear it anymore, "You bastard, my mother is my biological mother, and my father is no longer my biological father, right?"
"Hey, Dad, aren't you used to running out every day? Don't take my mother with you next time." Ye Chenghu said confidently.
Ye Yaodong raised his hand and pretended to hit him, but he cleverly hid from Lin Xiuqing's left to the right, stretched his head over and made a face, and then ran out.
Ye Chengyang saw him running away and immediately followed him, shouting as he ran: "Wait for me, brother, we will guard at the door, don't let my mother run away again."
"OK……"
"How old are these two? They are still clinging to you, and you are not allowed to go out?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "I have never left them. After a few days, they couldn't bear to leave."
"You tidy up the things you brought back and pack them out later. I'll take them to Huimei's house and pick up the little one by the way."
"good."
In order to gain some confidence as a father from his childhood, Ye Yaodong finished a large bowl of noodles in a few big mouthfuls, and then went to pick up Ye Xiaoxi with his things.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxi was originally playing happily and laughing, but when she saw him, her face immediately changed and she burst into tears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...They all said that no one wants me anymore. You don't want me anymore..."
"Bad dad, you just came to pick me up... I want my mother... I want my mother..."
Ye Yaodong became helpless immediately after she cried. He quickly picked her up, wiped her tears, and coaxed her.
"Aren't you back now? It's only been a few days. I usually go longer than this."
"I want a mother, I want a mother..."
The adults in the room quickly ran out when they heard the crying outside, only to find out that Ye Yaodong was back.
A Guang asked with a smile: "Just came back?"
"Yes, I came over to pick up the child as soon as I got home."
"After living here for a few days, the neighbors nearby teased her, saying that no one wanted her, so they left her here. She took it seriously. She cried for a long time yesterday and asked for her third sister-in-law. We even took her there to play with her yesterday.
, I hugged her again after I went to bed."
Ye Yaodong coaxed and said: "Everyone is joking with you, there is nothing to cry about."
"You haven't thrown away all your gains, throw away me!"
"Dede was originally picked up. We didn't throw you away, but didn't you like playing with Xiaoyu? So we let you live with Xiaoyu. Aren't we going to pick you up right away?"
Ye Xiaoxi stopped crying with tears in his eyes, "Do you have to pick it up?"
"Well, brother picked it up. Don't cry. Your mother bought you a lot of delicious food. Let's go home and eat delicious food."
She nodded, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, hugged his neck, rested her little head on his shoulder, and stopped saying hello to Pei Yu, urging him to go home.
Ye Yaodong said hello to them, pointed to the things just put down on the stool, and went back first.
All the way back, he kept coaxing the child and asked him if he missed him.
Ye Xiaoxi said directly: "I want my mother!"
"Don't want dad?"
She hesitated for a moment, "I want my father, but I want my mother to accompany me every day."
Ye Yaodong patted her little buttocks to stop the abuse.
Everyone is Oedipus.
As soon as she stepped into the door, she tried to fall to the ground, so he had to put her down.
But she didn't rush to Lin Xiuqing immediately. Instead, she raised her head and cried loudly, and secretly peeked at Lin Xiuqing who was sitting at the table talking to her two sisters-in-law.
He shook his head speechlessly. He was crying for Ah Qing on purpose, hoping to make her feel distressed and take the initiative to run over and give him a hug.
Children are also very thoughtful.
Ye Yaodong ignored her and took the basin to fetch water for a bath. Anyway, Ah Qing was asking distressed questions and came over to coax her.
"A Dong's business has grown so much now that he has to travel across provinces every three days. It's hard for us to see each other now..."
"Haha, you made a lot of money on this trip, right? Let me tell you, you don't have to go out to sea to trawl, what a hard work it is."
"Sister-in-law, you mean to let me collect the money at home and let my father earn money for me?"
"Haha... Where are the words..."
Ye Yaodong didn't say much to them. After asking his two brothers about their recent harvest at sea, he took the water to take a bath.
After taking a shower, he sat at the door and chatted with his two brothers and neighbors.
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, he felt that driving a boat was not as convenient as driving a tractor.
When the ship docks at the dock, he has to ask people to move the goods and hire a tractor to deliver them to the destination. So he might as well drive his own tractor into the city and deliver it directly to the destination.
It also saves you having to carry around a bag of money and take someone else's car to the pier. It's more convenient to drive your own car.
Father Lin was just waiting for his goods. When he first arrived, someone in the store happened to ask about it.
Ye Yaodong kept an eye on it and said that the wholesale price of this newly arrived batch of goods will also increase due to the increase in raw materials. A batch of 20 will cost 10 yuan each, and he will sell it at retail for 13 yuan.
He even opened his mouth to coax, saying that it would be easy to resell for just 15 yuan.
The hawker haggled for a long time, but in the end he had no choice but to take away 20 pieces in a batch for 10 yuan.
"I've been telling people the same thing in the past two days. I said this product is so popular that it's hard to order. The materials have gone up again. I said it will be available in about three or four days, but I don't know if I can order it. I have to order it.
It’s definitely not cheap when it arrives.”
"When the time comes these two days, vendors have come over to ask questions one after another, and some even come over twice a day to ask questions."
"The one they bought casually before must have been sold, and they must have made several dollars by reselling it. That's why they come here every day to ask."
Ye Yaodong gave him a thumbs up, "Dad is good at business."
"Haha, it's just that I have been here for a long time and gained a little experience in selling things. Let's do some calculations while I'm free now. I'll give you the money for the goods I sold last time. By the way, I'll do some calculations on the store's accounts.
Take it back with you."
"good."
The more than 1,900 pieces sold last time were less than 20,000 yuan, but with the store's turnover for more than a week, it totaled more than 22,000 yuan.
His cloth bag was overstuffed and not suitable for running around.
He just went to the construction site to check on the progress, said hello to his brother-in-law, and immediately drove the tractor again, following a few trucks back.
This investment cost him back 15,000. If all 5,000 items are sold, his capital will be back.
Later, if we can ship over and batch a lot of them and sell them back, we will make a net profit.
Calculating this amount of money, it is easy to make money. No wonder the future bosses will start to make their fortunes and lay the foundation in this year.
Earning quick money has its benefits, but you still have to make it steadily to feel at ease and not worry about it.
By the time he drove the tractor home, it was evening again.
Another day has passed.
As soon as Ye Yaodong got home, he threw his money bag to Lin Xiuqing and slumped down on the recliner.
"It's hard to make money, life is hard, and I haven't stopped at all."
Ye Yaohua, who was next door, was at the door when he heard him saying with a smile: "Is it difficult for you to make money? Is your life still hard? Who in the village doesn't envy you for making money quickly and living an easy life? You are the first in eight villages in ten miles to have a job, and there are still people there.
Go to our village and ask if you want to hire anyone here."
"I'm tired. I'm running around every day, either on the way to make money or on the way to make money."
"Others who want to make money have no way to make money, and they can't even do it. Everyone's eyes are red with envy."
Ye Yaodong sighed and sat up, "I haven't eaten dinner yet. I'm going to have dinner first."
Lin Xiuqing also coaxed him after he entered the house, "You can rest tomorrow and don't have to run around."
"Then we can't go to sea tomorrow night? We can just take a day off and have to work non-stop."
"Then there is no way the boat is there, and we have to sail it out to make money. No matter how many people want to make this money, there is no way."
"Oh, I finally understand why the big boss still has to go to work every day."
Lin Xiuqing placed the cooked noodles in front of him, then stood behind him and squeezed his shoulders.
"You have to think about it. You will go to sea for a few days tomorrow night, and you will be able to rest immediately when you come back. Moreover, you will go to the provincial capital to worship your ancestors. Going there for a few days is equivalent to a few days of rest."
"That can be called a rest, but being on the road is even more tiring. Oh, by the way, I haven't been home all day today, and I didn't see my mother when I came back yesterday. Did you ask her if she received the invitation?"
"No, today is Saturday again. I'll probably have to wait until Monday the day after tomorrow to see if it's available?"
"The mail delivery is really slow."
"It's not that fast to send it from the provincial capital. It only took two days."
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything, lowered his head and ate the noodles first.
Lin Xiuqing specially fried two poached eggs for him, and also tore some dried Balang fish meat into it, which whetted his appetite.
I haven't eaten much seafood in Wenzhou these days. All I've eaten are dry goods brought from home. Except for buying meat, no one has the habit of going out to buy seafood.
After all, they have their own boat. Although their boat is not used for fishing, they always feel that it is a waste of money to buy seafood outside. Seafood is too easy for them, so they have to spend money to buy it. It will be natural when they get home.
There is an endless supply of seafood to eat.
Ye Yaodong not only thought about the invitation, he also thought about his filling machine and fish sauce bags, but there was no rush for this. Anyway, if he went to the provincial capital in a few days, he could just ask Ye Yaohai in person.
.
There is no need to call now. Asking is useless. The goods will definitely not arrive that soon. It is better to ask in person. Next time I go to the provincial capital, in addition to worshiping ancestors, I can also solve the problem of packaging bags. Save
The city must produce such packaging bags.
"Don't just pinch your shoulders. Give me a good thump on your back and rub your waist. After sitting on a tractor for a day, your back will fall apart and your buttocks will hurt."
I don't know how many years it will take to build the road.
"Use some strength..."
"My hands are sore from pinching. You might as well take a shower later, lie down on the bed, and let your daughter step on you."
"Okay, by the way, call these two boys back and give me a squeeze on the shoulders and legs."
"Just wait and see if you can scream."
"You brat, the bigger you get, the harder it is to scream."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and saw that he was almost finished eating, so she picked up the money bag on the table and went back to the house to count it.
After eating, Ye Yaodong quickly went to take a shower. After taking a shower, he went outside to call back the three children who were running wild.
But it was really difficult to scream. Ye Xiaoxi had a little easier time yelling. Once he screamed, he immediately ran to him and hugged his legs, but those two didn't have ears at all.
He called out names there, and the two mouths responded without turning his head to take a look.
"I'll earn you a dime, do you want to earn it?"
When it comes to money, his ears are more alert than anything else, and he immediately runs out of the crowd.
"Dad, what's a dime? Tell us what you want us to do!"
"You can write 10 pages of large text for just one cent, will you write it?"
"Don't write!" Ye Chenghu turned around decisively and ran away.
"Come back!"
Ye Chenghu was shouted at and stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at it reluctantly, not wanting to go in and earn that ten pages of large characters.
Might as well kill him, writing one page every day is painful enough.
Now I have to ask him to write 10 pages and give him one yuan to think about it.
Ye Chengyang said flatteringly: "Dad, can you write for me?"
Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead and said, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to write next year. Now go in and give me a pat on the back. I'll give you a dime. If your brother doesn't make any, forget about it."
"Earn, earn."
Ye Chenghu's eyes lit up. He could earn a dime from massage. This was much easier than writing. There was no reason why he shouldn't do it.
If he didn't earn this money, he would be so beat up that he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night and wouldn't be able to eat tomorrow.
He quickly ran back and said, "Dad, I'll give you a massage too. I'm bigger and stronger, so I'm sure it will be more comfortable than Yangyang's."
While talking, he couldn't help but take Ye Yaodong's hand and drag him into the house.
"Dad, I will make sure you press it comfortably. I guarantee that after I press it once, you will want me to press it again."
Ye Yaodong smiled and cursed, "I like to rely on physical strength to make money so much. If I don't get cured, I will have no hope in this life. Even if I pay you to do your homework, you won't do it."
"I do my homework every day, and I still have to write another page of large characters. It's enough. I don't want to write. I'll give you a massage and wash your feet."
"Look at your potential..."
Ye Chenghu flatteringly walked him to the bedside, squatted down and took off his shoes, picked up his feet and put them on the bed.
"Dad, lie down quickly."
Lin Xiuqing looked at this kid in surprise, "The sun is out in the west? So active? Usually when the broom falls over, it won't move even if I ask you to hold it up, and it turns around and runs away."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "There is nothing that money cannot solve."
"Sooner or later you will be spoiled. You have to pay them to do it at such a young age. If you don't obey, just give me a beating."
"Mom, everyone said you shouldn't hit other people's children."
Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment.
"Yangyang and I were both picked up. They are other people's children. You can't beat them randomly."
Lin Xiuqing's face was speechless. She looked at him like a fool, turned around, and continued to count her money, but she didn't see anything wrong.
"It's really impossible for me to be this stupid."
Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chenghu with disgust, "It's impossible for him to be born to me if he is so stupid. He was indeed picked up."
Ye Chengyang went to pick up his clothes, "Dad, let me help you take off your clothes."
"Dad, let me take off your pants." Ye Chenghu also hurriedly pulled off his pants, trying to show off.
Ye Yaodong's clothes were pulled up over his head by Ye Chengyang, and his hands were also pulled up.
He couldn't care about what was going on above him, so he could only shout, "I'll do it myself, and you won't be needed."
Isn't the service provided by these two children too attentive?
Also help him take off his clothes and pants.
"Dad, you have hair on your belly..." Ye Xiaoxi lay on his belly and said in a milky voice.
His stomach was attacked, and his whole body immediately bowed like a prawn, "What are you doing!"
Fortunately, she suddenly lay on his belly, and Ye Chenghu couldn't take off his pants immediately, otherwise his underwear would have to be taken off by the unfilial man.
Lin Xiuqing turned to look at the father and son, and couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Xiaoxi pulled a piece of hair in his hand and showed it to Ye Yaodong, "There is hair. Dad has a lot of hair on his belly."
Ye Yaodong looked at the curly hair in her hand, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said abruptly, "Throw it away."
"Dad, why is there hair on your belly?"
"I have them on my feet too."
He quickly changed the topic. The children had too many questions, and they were too embarrassing.
"It's on your nei nei too.",
Ye Xiaoxi also stretched out her fingers to poke his chest. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly covered his chest with both hands, then quickly moved up twice and lay down.
He heaved a sigh of relief and kept his old face.
Lin Xiuqing sat at the table and laughed wildly.
But none of the three children knew why she was laughing.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also lifted up their clothes and pants. They looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Why don't we have long hair?"
Ye Yaodong suddenly regretted calling them over to give him a massage.
"It will happen when you grow up. Hurry up and give me a massage. Ye Xiaojiu will step on my back. One of you will tap my back and the other will tap my legs."
After saying that, he also took off his pants, wearing only shorts, and lay there shirtless.
I still feel safe lying down.
"OK."
"Dad, is this comfortable?"
"Dad, is that true?"
"Dad, can I step on your back..."
The three children chatted in turn, making the room feel warm and lively.
Ye Yaodong lay there comfortably, with the three children stepping on and knocking on him, with a comfortable look on his face.
“This is what having a baby is all about!”
Lin Xiuqing broke his complacency and said, "It's money."
"Don't tell me? This is also their filial piety."
"If you don't give them money, do you think they can still provide you with such considerate service?"
"Oh, it's worth spending a little money to make your children and grandchildren filial."
Ye Yaodong was very open-minded about this, having seen too many in his previous life.
Most people think that the elderly are useless and they don’t want to take care of the elderly after having several sons kicking around. This son is also a failure in raising them.
Anyway, he doesn't expect his son to support him in old age. He relies on himself to earn more money and help them if he can. If not, they will find a way on their own.
Just like his parents, they now have a lot of money saved. Anyway, if the three brothers are in need, his parents will definitely come out with some money to help, but they will definitely have to keep most of it for retirement.
In the future, no matter what happens, he will not be so impoverished that he has to rely on his son for help.
In his previous life, he continued to work on his own to earn money and did not expect his son.
If he died at that time, he might have left a fortune to them.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "Then you have to make more money. If you have a lot of money in your hands, you won't be afraid of them being unfilial."
"It makes sense, you still have to work hard, you can't test people's hearts."
"Dad, when you get old, you give me massages and I'll give you money too!"
Ye Yaodong turned his head and stared at Ye Chenghu in disbelief.
"Tell me again and see if I don't beat you to death!"
Ye Chenghu looked confused and didn't know what he said wrong.
He now gives his father massages to earn a dime. When he gets old, his father gives him massages and he also gives his father money. Is there anything wrong?
Lin Xiuqing laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears.
"I...did I say something wrong?"
He is spending money to make himself unhappy.
"Why did I give birth to a stupid son!"
"You are a boy and can't have children. I was born from a mother... No, I picked it up."
"I'm going to make you angry to death, so I'd better beat you to death first."
Ye Chenghu quickly backed away and slipped out of bed, "No, I don't want to massage you anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
Ye Yaodong stared at his back, then looked at Lin Xiuqing who was laughing so hard.
"Look at the good son you gave birth to, you don't even know who he looks like when he's so stupid."
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened with laughter, "Who do you think he looks like? He's just like Cheng He next door."
"Like my dad!"
Lin Xiuqing laughed even louder.
"You are also your father's good son."
Chapter completed!
