Chen Wei wanted to leave immediately.
Ye Yaodong didn't want to stop him at first. Anyway, the conversation at the door was heard by women near the door, and it should be spread tomorrow.
You really shot yourself in the foot.
If we want to regain face from him, it's the best we can do. If we can't, it can also be said that he refused and refused to cooperate. That's why the village couldn't set up a factory and the villagers couldn't take advantage of it. The blame was put on him.
Now it's better, everyone knows he can pay 50,000 yuan.
hehe……
However, the people who had just settled the accounts at Ye Yaodong's house also came out. Everyone heard their conversation and gathered around happily.
"Yes, there is nothing you can't do with money. It's rare that Chen Wei has such a heart. He can set up any factory with 50,000 yuan."
"Our small village doesn't have that much land. How about building a smaller one and taking your time?"
"It turns out that I didn't think about setting up a factory. Everyone is really spreading rumors. Those aunts and wives are talking nonsense all day long..."
Chen Wei felt like he couldn't speak clearly now.
"It's too late today. It's already dark. Let's talk tomorrow. Dongzi and I haven't discussed it yet."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "That's true. It's getting dark now. Let's go to the village committee tomorrow to have a chat and see what you can do with your 50,000 yuan investment."
He nodded casually and left quickly.
Sister-in-law Ye came over in surprise and asked: "Can he really spend 50,000 yuan to set up a factory in the village? Has it been rumored recently?"
Lin Xiuqing doubted: "Real or false? Why do I not believe it so much?"
Ye Yaodong smiled, "I'll know tomorrow morning."
"Yes, if I can go to the village committee to meet people tomorrow morning, it will really show that they can afford this money."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... If you have money, no wonder you can raise a child outside and find a mistress in the village..."
After receiving the first-hand news, people around him immediately became excited.
After Ye Yaodong sent everyone else away, he also went back to the house.
Lin Xiuqing didn't even have time to put away the bills in the house before she came out to take a look. Fortunately, there was a calculator on top of it, so it didn't fly everywhere.
He conveniently helped tidy it up.
Lin Xiuqing followed him in and asked: "This man is so shameless. He wants you to steal his skills and then join forces with him. Who cares about his 5,000 yuan? Let's just invest it with anyone else."
I invested 50,000 yuan.”
"Aren't you picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons? You invested 50,000 yuan in someone else's money, and then you partnered with him for 5,000 yuan just to steal his skills? Why are you so shameless?"
Ye Yaodong also sneered, "Don't worry about him, who do you think is a fool? I want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs. I just dug a hole for him. I guess he should run away at night."
"You think he doesn't have fifty thousand dollars?"
"I don't know. I think he didn't look that good-looking just now. Even if he did, how could he use all his wealth to set up a factory to benefit the village? It's not a guaranteed profit without loss? Let's take 50,000
It hurts so much."
"It's true, money is so easy to make. How long did it take us to earn 50,000 yuan in the beginning, and he can earn 50,000 yuan in just one year? Anyway, I don't believe he can make it."
He thought so too.
"You go to sea as usual at night, right?"
"Well, there's nothing important that warrants me rescheduling, so of course I'll go as usual."
"Then I'll let you know when you come back in a few days. It won't take more than one night. If he can come up with 50,000 yuan, the news will spread throughout the village, and the village committee will come to visit again tomorrow morning."
Ye Yaodong smiled, "Are you quite gossipy?"
No wonder they asked him if he was going to sea as usual.
"This idea has hit our home, shouldn't I pay more attention to it?"
"Okay, listen more and tell me when I come back."
"good."
Ye Yaodong originally planned to rest for two days and then go to sea immediately. However, just an hour after sailing out with his father at night, he felt that there was a strong wind and the waves in the outer sea were a bit strong.
The cold wind is already strong in winter, but it may only feel colder on land. The wind is still bearable, but the branches are swaying erratically, around level 4 or 5.
But the feeling at sea is completely different. As the saying goes, there is no wind but three feet of waves.
The sea is open and the wind at this level is enough to cause rough waves on the sea, and the fishing boats will be swaying in the waves.
Nowadays, the rules and regulations are incomplete. If you want to go to sea in windy and rainy weather, no one will control you, as long as you are not afraid of death.
But of course they were afraid of death. When they first drove out to sea, the wind and waves were acceptable, but when they drove farther, they felt that the wind and waves were too strong.
After discussion, with safety first, we headed home directly with the Harvest.
In the future, the rules and regulations have been improved, and the maritime department has clear regulations for fishing boats going out to sea on windy days.
Once the wind level exceeds level five, some small motorized fishing boats and wooden sail fishing boats are already prohibited from going to sea.
In case of strong winds above level 6, fishing boats with less than 60 horsepower are strictly prohibited from going to sea.
When the wind level exceeds level seven, fishing boats with less than 400 horsepower are not allowed to go to sea.
When the wind exceeds Level 8, all fishing boats are prohibited from fishing!
Although they can still withstand the current storm, who knows whether the storm outside will be even greater.
By the time they came back to the dock again, it was already broad daylight.
After everyone came ashore again, Ye Yaodong saw that the cherry tree his family planted next to Thean Hou Temple was almost falling over due to the wind.
After two years of planting, the trunk of the tree has become much thicker, but it is still tilted almost 90 degrees by strong winds, and the more than 20 trees are all tilted in one direction.
The tripod that originally supported it was gone long ago, and he didn't care about it, and he didn't know who removed it.
Seeing that there were all the boatmen around, and the available labor force was not wasted, he quickly asked them to help find some sticks to fix it, so that it would not be blown down by the wind.
He estimates that next year he should be able to eat the cherries grown by his children.
Father Ye was actually very surprised. He didn't expect that all the things that the children at home could play around with could actually be planted and grow into a piece.
"We should be able to bear fruit next year, so we can take out the fishing nets and surround them here in advance to avoid being picked by others."
"Well, let me go. There are names on the tree trunks?"
When Ye Yaodong fixed the tree with a stick, he happened to see traces of pen marks on the trunk.
"The tree of Ye Chenghai? Haha, a few bastards even carved names on their own trees?"
Father Ye also lowered his head to look for it and smiled.
"Also, you can mark it in advance, and whoever planted it will come and pick it when the time comes."
"I'll go, this one carved it early. Ye Chenghu's is not very good at studying, but these seven or eight learned quickly. Others were carving on the desk, but he was carving on the tree trunk."
Ye Yaodong seemed to have found a lot of fun. He groped around every tree, wanting to see what these bastards had secretly carved on the tree trunks, so that he could laugh at them when he got back.
"Haha, I am studying for the rise of China! I am laughing so hard..."
"You are ambitious. Whoever carved this must be a student." A boatman smiled and flattered him.
"Ye Chenghe, haha..."
Ye Yaodong was very happy. If someone else had done it, he wouldn't have smiled so exaggeratedly. He didn't expect it to be a silly boy like Ye Chenghe.
Father Ye couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "Hurry up and go back to catch up on your sleep. It's a waste of time today. Let's see if the wind will be lighter tomorrow."
"I'll go look for it again and see if there's anything clever..."
"What is this? Let me see...it's Ye Chenghe's tree again..."
"Chen Xiuni...haha...even drew a heart...haha..."
"Oh my god, it's so funny..."
Father Ye asked curiously: "Who is this?"
"Ye Chenghe's little girlfriend..." Ye Yaodong was already laughing so hard.
"You guys do it, I'll go back and laugh at him..."
He smiled and walked home first. Anyway, there were so many people and there were only a few trees. It would be quick to tie them casually.
Father Ye frowned, "What little girlfriend, how old is he..."
Ye Yaodong walked home with a smile on his face. He was so happy that he didn't even recover. He shouted as soon as he reached the door of the house.
"Ye Chenghe...Ye Chenghe..."
"He hasn't gotten up yet. It's only after 6 o'clock. Why are you back?" Lin Xiuqing was pulling radishes in the yard and came out quickly.
"The wind was too strong, so I came back. Then I'll wait for him to get up."
He was smiling all over his face. Fortunately, he came back early, otherwise he wouldn't have had to laugh at him when he went to school.
"Why did you call him as soon as you came back?"
"You don't even know what he carved on the tree trunk, haha..."
It was funny when he thought about it. He recounted what he had just discovered to Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing also laughed, "How old is he? He is so precocious."
"Are you 12 years old? It's almost time."
"Since it's windy and we're halfway back, let's have a meal and go back to catch up on some sleep. It's too early to get up at night."
"I'm not sleepy. I'm still very energetic. Let's go eat first."
When Ye Yaodong passed by the old lady, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "It feels like five generations will live together under one roof."
The old lady smiled so hard that her gums were exposed. She tapped his foot with a cane and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Cheng He is still young."
"It looks like he should be more promising than A Hai. He knows how to find a wife for himself in advance."
I had the same wife in my previous life. There's nothing wrong with her. I just don't know if she was this precocious in my previous life.
He has encountered a lot of fun in this life.
"That stupid kid doesn't know if others can think highly of him."
Ye Yaodong chuckled and didn't answer. He went to eat first. The youngest in the family hadn't gotten up yet.
Just when he sat down and took out his chopsticks, Ye Chenghe shouted and ran from the next door, "Uncle, I'm getting up, what did you call me for? I'm here..."
Sister-in-law Ye's voice came to me as if it were nothing, "I usually call you...your third uncle...runs faster than a rabbit..."
Ye Chenghe's eyes were still covered with eye droppings, and his cotton-padded jacket was still in his hands before he put it on, and he had already run up to him.
"Third uncle, why are you calling me so early in the morning? I was still dreaming when I heard you calling me. When I got up and asked my mother, she ran over immediately."
"Pick the shit out of your eyes first."
Ye Chenghe obediently obeyed the instructions. He picked out the gum on both sides of his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, and then said, "Third uncle, why are you looking for me?"
No matter how stupid you look, why did you find a good wife?
"Laughing at you."
"ah?"
"Read for the rise of China!"
Ye Chenghe was stunned for a moment.
"Ye Chenghe loves Chen Xiuni..."
Ye Chenghe's face turned red again, and then he looked left and right in fear as if he was guilty, and quickly stepped forward to cover Ye Yaodong's mouth.
"Who told you! Is it my brother?"
Ye Yaodong slapped his hand away, "Are you going to kill people and silence them?"
"Uncle Third, you can't tell anyone!"
It's okay to laugh at him for saying "study for the rise of China". It would be a bit embarrassing to say it at most, but the latter part is embarrassing.
"The mouth grows on me, Ye Chenghe loves Chen Xiuni..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Ye Chenghe clasped his hands together and bowed several times, with a pleading look on his face, "Don't tell me, third uncle, please..."
"You can do it without asking anyone to tell you."
"Who knew you had seen it? How did you know?"
"This is all fate, Ye Chenghe loves Chen Xiuni..."
Ye Chenghe hurried forward and covered his mouth again, "Third uncle..."
"Let go, I'll go to the village committee later and get a loudspeaker to shout."
Ye Chenghe wailed, "No, then my reputation will be ruined."
"Haha, you are only allowed to do it secretly, but you can't let others talk about it?"
"You also said it secretly, please don't tell anyone. Please, please, third uncle, if you don't tell anyone, we will still be good friends."
"Who is your good friend? I am your third uncle and your elder."
"Don't tell me. If you don't tell me, you will still be my third uncle."
"What are you doing! If I tell you, you will kill your relatives and disown me, right? Threaten me! If I tell you, I am also your third uncle, and you will have to kneel to me when you get married."
"Then can I kneel down to you now?"
Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing.
"At worst, if I get married, I don't want your red envelope!"
"Holy shit, hahahahaha... Are you trying to make me laugh to death? No, I have to tell your mother that you won't accept any red envelopes from me when you get married."
"No, no, no, let's discuss it secretly."
Ye Yaodong's stomach hurt from laughing, "Ganggun, don't affect my eating, you will make me laugh to death."
"What's so funny?" the old lady came in curiously and asked.
"He said he doesn't want me to... meet... when he gets married..."
Ye Chenghe quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, then apologized to the old lady and said, "It's nothing, third uncle is joking with me."
The old lady stepped forward and tapped his leg with a cane, "No matter how big or small, let go of your third uncle quickly and don't affect his eating. He hasn't even slept since he went out at night."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Third uncle, I'm leaving. Remember."
Ye Chenghe gave one last warning, and then ran away quickly.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing.
The old lady curiously asked again. Lin Xiuqing also came in with a carrot and asked the same question.
He wouldn't keep Ye Chenghe's secret secret.
"This fool told me not to tell anyone about his engraving with Chen Xiuni. He said that when he gets married, I don't need to give out red envelopes. Hahaha, I laughed to death."
"What a fool." The old lady also shook her head and laughed.
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "If you say this, people will laugh to death. It's so stupid."
"You came to me early in the morning to have fun, haha..."
"He was running so aggressively just now. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes before he ran over. I guess he thought you were doing something good by calling him. My sister-in-law said at the door that he wouldn't even say anything when called. When you called him, he ran faster than a rabbit."
"I'm probably regretting it now, haha. It's time to destroy the body and eliminate the traces later."
"Hurry up and eat your food. What's there to tease him about?"
"Don't you think it's interesting?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and shook her head, saying nothing.
Two of his own children also came down while he was eating. They also rubbed their eyes and asked him why he was so noisy just now.
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything, he just asked them to eat quickly and go to school to herd the sheep after eating.
But when he finished eating and stood at the door, he saw Ye Chenghe running back from a distance. The smile on his face deepened, and he probably went to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces.
Sister-in-law Ye caught him at the door and scolded him, "Where did he go? He disappeared early in the morning. Everyone has gone to school, and you haven't eaten yet."
"Third uncle asked me to run errands for him."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Sister-in-law Ye didn't say anything, she just urged him to go to eat and go to school.
Lin Xiuqing saw that he was still standing at the door and had not gone into the house to catch up on his sleep. She asked curiously: "Go to bed quickly. What are you standing at the door looking at?"
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, "I'm wondering if I should make a list of the things Ye Chenghe doesn't want me to do to give him a wedding red envelope, and let him sign it."
She smiled and patted him, "You still care about this with your child. When he gets married, can you still save this red envelope?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't save the red envelope, but you can give him this receipt and put it in the red envelope."
After saying that, he thought it was a good idea, so he immediately went back to the house to get pen and paper, so he could practice calligraphy.
Lin Xiuqing was speechless when she saw him writing with a notebook and a pen in a decent manner.
"Are you serious about it?"
"A manly man, he keeps his word. When he got back at noon, he asked him to sign and pledge it. He just let him escape. It was a mistake."
"I think you are more like a child than him."
"Don't worry about it. When he gets married, I will put this in a red envelope and give it to him."
She lowered her head and read what he had written.
"I promised my third uncle that as long as he doesn't tell me about the carving of leaves on the tree to express my love for Chen Xiuni, when I get married to Chen Xiuni, my third uncle won't have to give me any red envelopes."
After Ye Yaodong finished writing, he put down his pen and blew on the handwriting. He also specially drew a heart and copied it down intact on the tree trunk.
"How's it going? I've made some progress in my writing, right? I know every word, and I don't have any missing arms or legs. When he comes back at noon, let him write his signature and the date!"
"You are so free, and you still care about a child..."
"What's wrong with the child? Children have to keep their word. This is my handwriting. Maybe it will be valuable in the future?"
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes and said, "I consider myself a master of calligraphy."
"It's hard to say. Once I practice calligraphy, my calligraphy may become valuable in the future when I become famous."
"Go to bed quickly."
There is everything in the dream.
Ye Yaodong looked at the list he wrote with a smile and thought it was a good idea.
The red envelope is definitely not something you can save, but this order is also a souvenir.
Just enough for his wife to laugh at him for the rest of her life.
He smiled and tore the list off the book, took it into the house and put it in a drawer to keep alone. Then he lay down on the bed and hugged the child, intending to sleep for a while.
But he wasn't sleepy at all. The fun he had this morning made him a little funny, and he was very energetic now.
Bored, he had to squeeze the child's face, touch her hands, and smell her feet.
Ye Xiaoxi felt his feet were itchy and kicked them hard, causing half of Ye Yaodong's face to tilt to the side.
"father?"
"Stinky girl, are you awake?"
Ye Xiaoxi sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Dad, have you knitted the sweater?"
"Why is it a sweater again?"
"You said it's been two days, it's been many days."
"I won't."
"You learn."
"I learn from...your mother?"
"Yeah, right."
Ye Yaodong looked speechless, raised his neck and shouted at the door: "Lin Xiuqing, Lin Xiuqing..."
"What are you doing? You kept screaming so early in the morning that the children were woken up by you."
"Take your daughter away."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, but went in to get some clothes for Ye Xiaoxi to put on.
Ye Xiaoxi shouted to Lin Xiuqing with a smile: "Mom! Mom!"
Lin Xiuqing shouted to her in a soft and waxy voice with a deep smile on her face, "Why did you call me mom all of a sudden?"
"Dad said to learn from your mother!"
The smile on her face froze, and she turned to glare at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong was already happy again.
"I didn't say that, it's none of my business."
"You didn't say that, how can she learn like this? She spends all day teaching children nonsense." Lin Xiuqing took Ye Xiaoxi's clothes and hit his legs twice.
Ye Yaodong quickly shrank up, wrapped the quilt tightly around himself, and pressed his legs on the edge, and then said with a flattering smile: "It's good to call me mother. You don't have to call everyone else mother, we can just call you mother."
.”
Ye Xiaoxi also threw herself into Lin Xiuqing's arms with a smile, hugged her neck, kissed and shouted: "Mom, mom..."
Lin Xiuqing's heart was melted by her shouting, what else could she say.
"Stand down properly and put on your clothes quickly. Your father already dislikes you and wants to kick you out."
"don't want."
Ye Yaodong lay on his side on the bed, supporting his head with one hand, smiling as he watched the mother and daughter interact.
"Hurry up and knit the rainbow sweater for her. Otherwise, if you ask me for it every day, how can I know how to knit it? If you insist on asking me to learn from you, how can I, a grown man, learn to knit a sweater?"
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily, "I know, just give me nothing to do, I have to be busy, my hands are not idle all day long, won't I knit there whenever I have free time? It's almost over.
.”
"Ask my mother to knit for you. Anyway, she is very free and can knit while chatting with others."
"Well, I've asked her to take the thread back and thread it together."
Lin Xiuqing put on the child's clothes, pants and shoes and took her out. Ye Yaodong still shouted from behind: "Let's see if Chen Wei goes to the village committee later."
"knew."
He rolled around twice in his arms and then closed his eyes comfortably, "It still smells like milk..."
He slept happily until his children finished school at noon. He was also woken up by the children's noise.
As soon as he went out, he saw people running around having fun at the door.
"Ye Chenghe, come here, come here."
Ye Chenghe learned a lesson this time. He didn't run over immediately. Instead, he stood there, not daring to come over. He whispered, "What are you doing, uncle?"
"Come here, do you hear me?"
This time Ye Chenghe understood the threatening look in his eyes and slowly moved to him.
"Third uncle..."
"You keep your word. I agreed to what you said this morning. Go in and sign and draw for me."
Ye Chenghe couldn't believe it, he actually wanted to sign and pledge it?
"Are you still my third uncle? As for that?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Ye Yaodong pushed him into the house, then took out the list and asked him to sign his name and the date, November 29, 1985.
"It's written in black and white, that's it, let's go out."
"Huh, I'll never play with you again."
Ye Yaodong flicked his head hard and said, "Get out."
After Ye Chenghe signed, he seemed to have gained confidence. The shameful matter was solved. He was no longer afraid and walked out with his head held high.
Ye Yaodong also casually put the list in the drawer and locked it.
Lin Xiuqing was speechless as she watched them come out one after another. She also knew why Ye Yaodong called Ye Chenghe over.
"So serious..."
"that is."
Ye Chenghe didn't forget to agree before going out, but when he turned around and saw Ye Yaodong's glare, he immediately ran away.
Ye Yaodong sat on his seat, "It's time to eat, where are we?"
"I asked them to go to their hometown and ask their parents to come over for dinner, but they both ran away."
"Um."
"I heard that Chen Wei left at dawn. Not even the mouse was there. The two of them left together."
He had a clear look on his face, no surprise at all.
"I knew it."
"The village cadres came to his house in the morning and found out that he had left early in the morning. Even his wife didn't know what time he left. She only found out when he woke up. She said that he got up before dawn and said he had to pee.
Who knew and left. Someone who picked up dung early in the morning saw it and said he saw two people walking towards the entrance of the village at around 4 o'clock."
"If you don't run faster, the village will soon arrange for him to build a factory and let him pay for it."
“I just know that I don’t have much money, so I’m trying to make a fool of myself by pretending to be fat.”
"Originally I didn't want to care about them. They wanted to return to the village in glory. That would be great. But I didn't expect that they would come to my side and ask me to borrow chickens to lay eggs. Then I would set them up for them and watch them.
What to do.”
Lin Xiuqing packed the rice for him, brought it to him, and said with a smile: "The people in the village were also scolding him in the morning, saying that he was pretending. If you don't have money, you should tell him earlier. He makes it look like he is rich. Who knows what's going on inside?"
It's empty."
"I heard that his wife came to his senses later and was still defending him, scolding everyone for spreading rumors, saying that he just had something to do temporarily and was in a hurry to go out and make a lot of money. He had no time to stay in the village and build a factory."
"You don't care what she said. You only believe what you see and know. Why did you run away before dawn if you didn't feel guilty?"
Ye Yaodong made a judgment and said, "It was a joke. I guess I regret coming back."
"I haven't made much money right now, so I'm probably too embarrassed to come back. I don't know what kind of money I can make outside, but just 5,000 yuan is a lot."
"There are many opportunities outside and it's easy to make money. He has been out for more than two years, so it's normal for him to make money."
These days, if you can go out and try your best to make money, there's no way you can't make money.
Many of them earn small amounts of money and gradually accumulate it into making big money.
Don't underestimate people either.
After Ye's father and Ye's mother came over for dinner, they talked about this matter at the dinner table.
The traditional virtue of their family is that they have to say something to accompany the meal at the dinner table, otherwise the meal will not be delicious.
I saw the comments on the backstage and wanted to ask: What kind of joke is Uncle Hui... (looks confused)
Chapter completed!
