Chapter 1197 The tiger is not at home, the monkey is the king

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you make a lot of money? Without my advice, you can still walk humming and swaying. I think you are so proud that you are so proud that you have opened many restaurants.
"
Ye Yaodong patted his belly again and said, "I've gained weight again. Have you been having a good time lately? It's so miserable everywhere."
"What do you know, why do you have to do everything yourself when you have money? I hired two cooks I know so that I don't have to do the exhausting work myself."
"You're so smart, you look like a boss."
"That's right." The fat man looked proud.
"Are you still going to do the money-making job?"
The fat man was in a dilemma. He wanted to make money but didn't want to be too tired. Opening a breakfast shop really made him tired.
"What kind of money-making job? Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired, just pay."
"What?" The fat man looked at him in surprise, "Aren't you going to imitate others and cheat me out of money? If you don't do it, you won't join a partnership or invest, and I don't want to eat the interest."
"Crazy, what do I need from your three melons and two dates? I'm going to the city tomorrow, and I want to ask you if you want to go to the wholesale market with me. Not to mention how lively it is. There are two or three restaurants nearby, and business is booming.
It’s amazing, the market is always full when it opens.”
The fat man thought for a while and understood what he meant.
"You want me to open a shop there, but that's not possible. I just bought the land in the town, the house has just been built, and the shop has only been open for a few days. How can I leave it in the market?"
"You're stupid. You were so smart just now and knew how to hire someone, but now you can't change your mind."
"You don't feel at ease if you just hire someone and don't watch it yourself. What if you pay for it yourself and all the money you make ends up in someone else's pocket?"
"Hire your own people to keep accounts, or form a partnership. Not all of your brothers are chefs. Ask your own brothers to work for you, and you calculate their wages, or simply form a partnership, and you can just share the money when the time comes. Occasionally
Check it out."
The fat man hesitated and didn't know what to say. He knew that Dongzi was doing it for his own good and thinking about him. It was Dongzi who encouraged him to open a restaurant in the first place. Now the restaurant in the town is impressive and a lot of money comes in every day.
, although it is a bit hard work, but you can earn money.
I'm afraid of being poor, but I'm afraid of hard work when I have money. What's more, opening a restaurant and hiring people makes it much easier than making breakfast before.
Ye Yaodong added: "I also went to eat yesterday and felt that the business in the restaurant in the market was very hot, so I thought of you. It's up to you."
The fat man thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow. How about you go to the market tomorrow?"
"Um."
"Okay, ask my dad to help me in the store tomorrow, and I'll go to the market with you to take a look."
"That's right. Seeing is believing. No matter what others say, it's not as true as seeing it with your own eyes. Make your own decision after seeing it. Dogs don't eat shit... No, cows don't drink water. I can't drink from cows.
water."
The fat man glared at him fiercely, "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
"Haha... That's right, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit, so I changed it to a cow. Why are you in the village now, and why are you back?"
"There are so many reasons to go home. I came back with my wife before it was time for dinner. The Chinese New Year is approaching and the house has to be cleaned, so I can only come back with some free time. I just went to deliver things to my father-in-law.
Gone."
"Okay, then go ahead and find me at my house tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong said hello to Fatty and left first. Fatty was now the boss and was busier than him.
At least he can take a break after returning from the sea, or take a rest when the weather is bad. But now that he runs a restaurant all year round, he can only take a rest when it is not meal time, which is much busier than him.
However, a great opportunity to make money is in front of you, so you must work hard.
He has already driven a Bentley. There is no reason why his friend is still driving a Chery. If he can, just give him a few reminders. The rest is up to him. If he can't make a ruthless decision, forget it.
Ye Yaodong went home happily while humming a song.
As a result, as soon as he got home, his father said that his eldest and second brothers decided to go to sea again at night.
It's rare to have good weather all the time. It's only the 23rd day of the lunar calendar, and it's the New Year's Eve this year. There's still a week to go. Now that the New Year is over, seafood will be more expensive, so they can't bear to rest at home.
I think one day's rest is enough. If I go out for a trip and come back a day early to celebrate the New Year, I can make more money.
As Father Ye said this, he was holding a hookah in his hand and smoking continuously. The expression on his face could not be seen to be happy, but on the contrary, he could also see a depressed expression.
"Aqing said you plan to take a break early for the New Year?"
"Yes, I have been working for a year and I feel that I am very busy this year, so I plan to take a break early. Anyway, I won't miss these few days, so I can relax at home."
Father Ye didn't say anything, he just knocked out the burned tobacco from the hookah, pinched a handful again and put it in, and continued to smoke the hookah.
Ye Yaodong could clearly see the irritability and resistance in his father's expression.
"Dad, don't you want to go and want to take a break early to celebrate the New Year?"
Father Ye glanced sideways at him and continued to tinker with his hookah.
Ye Yaodong also felt that what he asked was nonsense. Who wouldn't want to take a break early, play cards at home, brag, go to the market, feel the atmosphere of the New Year, and wait for the bustling New Year.
"Are you going on the Harvest?"
"They asked me to ask, but I said there was no rush and I would wait for you to come back."
"Oh, then go and ask Uncle Pei. If he doesn't plan to go, then you can ask the eldest brother and the second brother not to go. What's the difference in these few days? They have a new ship and they are still enthusiastic. I just want to
I hope I can go out more often, and I won’t miss these few days. After the New Year, there will be plenty of time for them to do.”
"Um."
Ye Yaodong stooped down to his father and said, "Dad, you want to stay at home and play cards, right? I just came back, and there are small tables set up on the roadside, and everyone is setting up a game, so why don't you just follow me?"
"
Father Ye rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "What's so cool about it? Do you think there are many benefits to following you? You are a lot of things for people to worry about. I am very worried about following you now."
"What for? Are you afraid of being caught again?"
Father Ye's eyes widened and he almost couldn't catch his breath. He held the hookah in his hand and wanted to throw it at his face. Fortunately, he stepped back in time and escaped quickly.
"Come back here and see if I don't break your legs."
Is he stupid?
After Ye Yaodong escaped, he wandered back to the workshop to find Ah Qing, and then he also helped with the work, collected dried fish, and chatted with her for a while.
When it was time for dinner, Father Ye happily said that Father Pei heard that he had taken a rest early to celebrate the New Year, so he took the opportunity to take a rest and not go to sea.
Even his eldest and second brothers had no choice but to give up and take an early break to celebrate the New Year.
Father Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and who doesn't want to take a few more days to relax.
During the Chinese New Year, there are the most entertainment activities. All you have to do is play every day. The whole village is filled with the flavor of the New Year. Who has the heart to go to the sea?
On the second day, he drove the tractor, took Lin Xiuqing and Fatty with him, and took a cart of dried fish to the city for storage.
As for why I drive a tractor instead of a motorcycle, it's because when I come back, I have to take my father-in-law and mother-in-law with me. I guess they also have a lot of luggage, so it would be more convenient to use a tractor.
Although his second brother-in-law also owns a tractor, he thought that because of the heavy traffic during the New Year, his second brother-in-law would be reluctant to give up the opportunity to make money.
After all, I just bought a tractor and spent a lot of money. I will definitely want to make as much money as possible to come back, so I won't follow Father Lin and Mother Lin directly home to celebrate the New Year so early.
Lin Xiuqing also informed Father Lin and Mother Lin one day in advance. The two elders were very happy and stayed in the city all year round, looking forward to returning during the New Year.
When they arrived on the tractor, Mrs. Lin was taking advantage of her lunch break to clean the door and wipe the signboard.
Ye Yaodong let Fatty wander around for a while while he went to settle accounts with Father Lin.
I'm going to have a rest after finishing today. They came over at noon today, and of course they closed at noon. The two elders also packed their luggage in advance.
After settling the accounts, Ye Yaodong first collected all the remaining sales in the store, and then took them to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and invited all his brother-in-law's family and his second-law-in-law's family as well.
Together with the children from both families, there was a large table full of people.
"Is Ayuan okay? Are you feeling better with your cold and fever?" Lin Xiuqing asked with concern as she watched Lin Guangyuan sniffle continuously.
"It's okay. I just have a cold. I'll be fine in two days."
"Are you not scared?"
"No, I've eaten well and slept well these two days, but the weather is too cold and I haven't caught a cold easily."
Ye Yaodong said: "We're going to go shopping in the city later. Do you want to come with us? I'll buy you some gifts to calm your nerves."
In the final analysis, it was because of following him that anything happened.
"Okay, my sister-in-law is so generous, I couldn't ask for more."
The other children looked on with envy, but did not dare to make a request. Everyone knew that Lin Guangyuan was greatly frightened this time and almost died.
Ye Yaodong didn't invite other children either. Those who were celebrating the New Year were crowded with people and there were many human traffickers. If something happened again, it would cause trouble for him.
Everyone had a lively lunch, and Ye Yaodong repeatedly thanked Father Lin, Mother Lin, and his two brothers-in-law at the dinner table.
In the past two years, they have been taking care of the market. Although my second brother-in-law is at home, he will send them fruits, vegetables and food from time to time.
In the final analysis, his in-laws have never had anything to say to him. In his previous life, it was just that he did not treat Lin Xiuqing well, causing her to die young and asking his father-in-law and mother-in-law to give away her white-haired daughter to her black-haired daughter, so they stopped interacting with him.
Moreover, I also felt that he was a helpless man who hated iron and could not become steel, so he saw that his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose.
This lunch meal can be regarded as the New Year's Eve wine that was invited in advance. Everyone came to eat happily.
Father Lin drank too much, his face was glowing and he kept saying that the past two years have been a good year. Only when he walked out did he realize that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
And at the dinner table, he kept praising Ye Yaodong for his greatness and promise. This son-in-law was not in vain, and even his whole family followed suit and moved to the city.
"When I go back tomorrow, the people in the village will be extremely envious of me. When I went back intermittently in the past, they kept saying that I had a good life and found a good son-in-law..."
"Now the eldest family has moved to the city and built a building. I am so envious of the dead when I return to the village during the New Year..."
"The second brother has also bought a tractor now and works in the city to pull goods. Business is good every day. Now that the New Year is approaching, he can earn dozens of dollars a day. It is really much better than farming at home..."
"If I save some money, I can build a house in the city next year and move to the city. I will become a city resident in the future... hiccup... I have to thank A Dong for this. Without him leading me here, how would I have been able to live there?"
You have a lot of money to make now..."
"Hiccup... I've found a good son-in-law. Ah Qing, you have to live a good life and be content. It's not easy for Ah Dong to make money outside. Don't give him any trouble at home. Be considerate and considerate of him in everything..."
Lin Xiuqing was dumbfounded by what his father said.
Ye Yaodong was smiling and happy, and kept pouring wine for his father-in-law. Mother Lin quickly stopped him.
"Don't pour it, don't let him drink it. Once you drink it, you'll talk so much. Talk over it over and over again. Drink less..."
"If you are happy today, let Dad drink more. If you get drunk, you can go back to bed later. When he wakes up, I will drive you home."
Ye Yaodong kept pouring wine for his father-in-law, but he didn't take a few sips himself.
Although there are no arrests for drunk driving now, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, there will definitely be several times more people on the street than before. He will drive to the city later, so he still has to stay awake.
So the fat man could only drink a few more drinks with his father-in-law and brothers-in-law.
Originally, the fat man wanted to go shopping with him in the city and buy some novel things, but he ended up getting drunk along with Father Lin and was helped back staggeringly.
It wasn't until I woke up and found that Ye Yaodong and the others had come back from shopping that they were annoyed that they had missed something while drinking.
It was a rare trip to the city. Before leaving, his wife told him a bunch of things he must buy, but he didn't buy anything. He had to scold his wife to death when he got back.
The fat man looked a little unhappy when he thought about it. His wife was not as easy to talk to as other wives, and she could hold a knife when she was angry.
"Hey...when will you come to the city again?"
"What? You've fallen in love with the shop here, do you want to open another one?"
"No, I just drank and made trouble. I didn't buy the things my wife asked me to buy. If you come over tomorrow, I will follow you again and buy what she asked for."
Ye Yaodong was just happy for him, and his mind turned around, knowing that he could make money here, but when he heard these words, he was speechless for a moment.
"Look at your prospects. If you don't buy anything, you won't buy it. Are you here to buy something? I obviously asked you to come here to feel the excitement of the market and feel the business opportunities."
"I know, but I have to buy the things my wife told me."
"Fat ladies are really good at training you to be obedient."
"You tmd to find a sting, I hurt my wife."
"Okay, okay, your wife is lucky to find a man like you. Let's see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. They may ask for delivery. If they come over, I'll call you."
"Well, I also saw the market today, and I thought it was pretty good. There were quite a few people there during lunch time."
"Noon is nothing, you haven't seen the night. When the market opens at night, there will be so many people coming in and out like a tide."
"Oh, don't you have to go back now? I won't be able to wait until night, and I won't be able to see it."
"I'll take you to see the market at night next time. The number of people is ten times that during the day."
"Um."
Their luggage has been loaded onto the tractor, and they can go back directly after waking up the two drunk people. While the sun has not set yet, they can also follow the big cars on the road.
Ye Yaodong is now very familiar with the road to and from the market. He needs to pay special attention to which section of the road, not to mention there are so many people in the car and he also has weapons, so he is not afraid of being robbed along the way.
He drove Father Lin and Mother Lin back that night, and then drove back to his home.
Lin Xiuqing left the work in the workshop to Pei Dongqing before going out, but nothing happened when she got home.
On the other hand, the house is in chaos and a mess.
The three children at home were extremely happy because they were not at home. They invited friends and invited a bunch of children to come and play at home.
Before the couple even reached the door, they heard a commotion at home, and there were banging, banging, banging, and various running noises upstairs.
The couple looked at each other at the door and said at the same time.
"It's such a big fuss..."
"Rebellion?"
The two of them hurriedly walked into the house. The old lady was standing by the stairs and shouting: "Slow down, don't fall, come down and play..."
"Oh, running and jumping is so dangerous... pay attention to your safety..."
Ye Yaodong frowned and shouted: "Are you itchy? How many children have you invited to play at home?"
Lin Xiuqing also took out the stick on the broom and said, "It's really a big deal. They made such a fuss while I'm not at home. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it's time for them to tighten their skin."
After she finished cursing, she walked to the stairs and shouted loudly upstairs: "Everyone, come down here!"
There was a moment of silence upstairs, and then there was the sound of thumping footsteps again, and a bunch of children came downstairs.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the string of children, and the veins on her forehead were beating. There were more than a dozen of them, the oldest was eleven or twelve years old, the youngest was five or six years old, both men and women.
These children also knew that the adults were back, and none of them dared to say anything. After coming downstairs, they quickly put on their shoes and ran home.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang sat on the stairs with their necks hunched, neither of them dared to go down.
Ye Xiaoxi stood behind them and shouted happily: "Mom, you are back~"
"Everyone, get down here!"
"I'm here~" Ye Xiaoxi responded happily, and then went to pull Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and quickly got out of the way to let her go down first.
Who knew that what was waiting for her was a stick.
Her eyes widened in horror, and she quickly tried to climb up using her hands and feet, but she was already caught.
"No, no, please help me, daddy, please help me, I don't have one, I'm good, daddy,"
Ye Yaodong spread his hands and said, "Who told you not to call me just now? When I came back, I heard you calling me mother instead of father. Only now did you know to call me, it's too late."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Dad, I love you the most. Dad, I love you the most. I want to sleep with you at night. Help me, help me..."
"He's so old, he's already 4 years old after New Year's Eve, and he can still fight."
"No, no, I'm still young, I'm a baby..."
Lin Xiuqing was worried that she would be broken with a stick, so he replaced her with a cane, took off her pants, and beat her with his hand.
The cane is painful and won't break the bones, so the child can remember it more firmly.
Ye Xiaoxi screamed in pain, tears streaming down his face, and kept shouting no, no, no...
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang watched Ye Xiaoxi being held in his hands like a little chicken, taking off his pants and spanking him, leaving red marks on his white buttocks. They were so frightened that they quickly got up and hid in the room.
"Fortunately we didn't go down..."
"As long as we don't open the door, my mother won't be able to fight..."
"What to do tomorrow..."
"I won't go out."
"Where's the pee?"
"Pee outside the window."
Ye Chengyang felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't pee on the floor. He might be beaten even more severely, so he could only nod.
After Lin Xiuqing finished beating the baby, she handed the baby to Ye Yaodong and climbed up the stairs aggressively and knocked on the door.
But now this old-fashioned door could not be opened with a key as long as it was locked from the inside. She angrily cursed at the door.
"Don't come out for me tomorrow. If you catch me, your butts will be swollen. The tiger is not at home, and the monkey is the king."
Ye Chenghu felt that there was nothing his mother could do to them, so he could only curse a few words, and shouted with some pride: "I won't go out!"
"Just be stubborn and I'll look good on you tomorrow."
"I won't go out."
"It's Chinese New Year, so don't come out to me. If I catch him, I'll peel off his skin for you."
"If you don't go out, you won't go out."
Lin Xiuqing almost exploded with anger at them.
"I was born to collect debts."
Ye Yaodong heard the stalemate upstairs and had already taken Ye Xiaoxi back to the room for questioning.
"Why are there so many children upstairs?"
Ye Xiaoxi was still crying with his mouth open, tears falling down.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to wipe her tears and coax her, "Next time, be smarter. Why don't you see that both brothers don't move? Look at you. I'll beat you when I run down."
Ye Xiaoxi cried even more sadly, feeling that she had paid wrongly.
She was so happy when her parents came back that she immediately wanted to run to them. However, after running towards them, she was beaten, but her two brothers were fine.
"Okay, you've been beaten. It's okay. My brothers haven't been beaten yet, so they will be beaten twice as much tomorrow. In two days, the new year's money will not be confiscated, so why don't you give it to them? How about giving them both their share of the new year's money?
Give it to you, okay?"
Ye Xiaoxi still didn't understand what the new year's money was, and his mouth was still flat, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Ye Yaodong thought of the small things he bought in the market today, and quickly took them all to the bed, laying them on the bed for her to play with.
In an instant, she was attracted by the colorful facial makeup, a bunch of hairpins, and small toys. She shed her tears in a second and stared straight at the new toys.
With tears still hanging on her eyelashes, she was already smiling.
"So beautiful, so many new toys..."
"I'll give these to you, don't give them to my brother, okay?"
Ye Xiaoxi happily moved her left hand and right hand, "Not to my brother, but to my sister. I will give it to my sister tomorrow."
"OK."
Seeing that he had calmed down, Ye Yaodong let her sit on the bed and play alone while he went out to take a look.
The old lady was sitting in front of the stove, already lighting a fire, preparing to cook something for them to eat. When she saw him coming out, she stood up and walked towards him.
"You are finally back. You have been noisy all day long. No matter what you say, it doesn't work. You are just like a monkey, bringing a bunch of children back to make noise."
"Where are my parents? I asked them to help look after the house. I can't even look after the children."
"Your mother has to go to work, so she will only be there during meal time. Your father can't even play cards, so he has no time to come over and take care of these children."
Ye Yaodong cursed, "None of them are reliable. I'll catch them tomorrow, take off their pants and beat them. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and every one of them is itchy, so beat them early to celebrate the New Year."
"Haha, have all the in-laws been sent home?"
"Um."
"After working hard all year, we have to let people go home early to celebrate the New Year. This year's New Year's gifts must also be thicker. Tomorrow is the Little New Year, so it is not suitable to come to the door. We have to go the day after tomorrow. Such a good son-in-law must be in their hometown
Show your face more in front of us..."
The old lady was chattering away with a smile on her face.
Ye Yaodong also followed her and sat next to the stove, listening to her talk.
Lin Xiuqing had nothing to do with the two boys, so she had to go downstairs first in frustration.
She was not at home all day, and there was a quarrel at home. She was also a little worried about the workshop, so she told Ye Yaodong, who also followed her out.
After a round of inspection, the couple came back feeling relieved.
Lin Xiuqing said: "I'm thinking of collecting goods for one more day tomorrow, and not the day after tomorrow. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Those who don't have a big New Year's Day are still working there."
"Well, don't collect it tomorrow. I'll tell Ah Cai tomorrow. Until today, I can collect all the goods to be dried before the New Year, so as not to have to work there during the Chinese New Year and smell like salted fish all over my body."
"It's okay, I just didn't tell you in advance because I was worried that Ah Cai wouldn't give enough notice."
"Go over and talk about it tomorrow morning."
"good."
After the two of them finished eating the noodles cooked by the old lady, they closed the courtyard door and the home door, and went back to the room to count the money.
The money I brought back this time was quite a bit, so I settled the accounts with Father Lin in the city.
This sum amounted to more than 32,000 yuan, which included the money from the sale of lighters.
The construction expenses for the 13 acres of land bought in the city were also paid for from the store one after another. Father Lin kept a record of every account, and he also checked the account books and brought them back.
However, the accounts settled in the store some time ago were not reduced because of this expenditure, because there was a sales volume of lighters to support it.
Now that the construction site in the city has been completed, the accounts from a year ago have been settled in particularly large amounts.
This is because the last batch of 10,000 units he brought back was not all sold out, but only a small part. Otherwise, the settlement money would only be more.
The couple looked at the money on the bed and smiled crookedly.
"This is too much. In the past, each settlement was only a few thousand yuan, but this time it is much more."
Ye Yaodong was proud of himself, "Thank you for my foresight."
"really."
"I won't go out tomorrow to celebrate New Year. I will go to your house to send New Year's greetings the day after tomorrow. I have to go to Wenzhou the day after tomorrow to settle the accounts for the past two or three months and summarize them at the end of the year. I don't know how much I earned. That Fang Jingfu is pretty cool.
If you can do it, if you have some money on hand, you want to produce it yourself."
"You still have to bring the twins back. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so you can't leave them there."
Chapter completed!
