Ye Huimei now believed that he was serious.
She couldn't believe it. It was thousands of dollars, and her third brother just gave it to her like this?
And it’s not just a few thousand dollars, you can get a steady stream of money in the future without any effort.
"Third brother, I just want a small red envelope to make me happy. You gave me such a big one! I'm a bit flattered..."
"Then I'll give you two dollars?"
Her face fell instantly, "I knew you were teasing me."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. Since the harvest number has been allocated to you, I have made a little profit anyway, and I don't need you to redeem it. I will give it to you directly. If you are still with Lao Pei
If you have it in your hand, I won’t give it away.”
"Third brother, you don't just make a little money? You have made a lot of money this year. You bought the boat worth hundreds of thousands, and you even borrowed 200,000, and even set up more than 20 tables when you went home. So,
Scenery! I knew you were great. Sure enough, my brother is awesome and has the strength!"
"Stop bragging. When I'm down and out, just don't forget to give me a bite to eat."
"How is it possible? How can you be in poverty? We are in poverty, but you cannot be in poverty. Thank you to my brother for your support!" Ye Huimei was so happy.
But after she was happy, she still said hesitantly, "Otherwise, why don't you discuss it with the third sister-in-law again? Don't make her unhappy. Our family actually has some money. You don't need to give me such a generous gift. After all, it's really a lot of money.
"
"I told you, I've discussed it with her, just take it with peace of mind, she has no objection. I will give it to you when you officially separate."
"Haha, then I will have to keep my 30% shares by then. I have to calculate every penny from A Guang. I can't give him any advantage."
"Not all his money is yours, but you still plan to let him keep it yourself?"
"That won't work. What's his is mine, and what's mine is still mine. I have to keep it alone, and use his for flowers. He has to support his family."
Ye Yaodong said appreciatively: "That's right! This is for you, just keep it alone. What's yours is yours, and what's his is still yours."
"I didn't expect this surprise when I came here today. Did I ask the right question? Haha."
"Yeah, I asked you the right question. If you hadn't asked me for a red envelope, I wouldn't have said anything. Just use this as a red envelope and you can save dozens of dollars."
Ye Huimei couldn't help but smile happily, "Haha, my third brother is still the best."
"Didn't you say that? Your third brother is the most powerful and the most powerful. Please help me make a lot of money."
"It's necessary. All our ancestors are protecting you."
"There's no need to talk about this matter to others. It's better if you know it yourself. I saw you asking about it, so I thought it would be okay to tell you in advance. It would also make you more confident and don't have to suffer at their house. Stand up.
Come on, if you dare to tell me what to do, you can just say no."
"Originally, three children are enough for me to keep busy. She originally moved in to take care of my father-in-law, not to enjoy the blessings of the local housewife."
"Um."
"Then shall I tell Aguang later? Let him know?"
"Okay, then you two can just know it yourself."
Ye Huimei couldn't wait to tell A Guang about this big event. She saw the three children playing well here and playing with a group of older children. She had nothing to worry about. After saying a few words to Ye Yaodong, she immediately ran back
Home.
After a while, Aguang also ran over.
Ye Yaodong moved the bench under his butt to the side and moved it to the corner so that he could talk more easily.
As soon as Aguang ran over, he said: "Dongzi, is what Huimei said true?"
"Well, sit down and talk."
The couple sat on his left, one on his right.
"You are a bit generous, why don't you call the third sister-in-law over and ask? You can't deal with this first and then explain it later."
"My brother said he asked the third sister-in-law."
Ye Yaodong said: "Yes, I have asked her. There is no need to call her here to ask again. She is busy in the workshop at the moment. Can I not let her know about such a big matter?"
"It's hard to say which big thing you have done that you didn't decide first?"
"Ahem, I've really asked about this before."
"Then if you said you asked, then I would take it seriously?"
"Um."
"Let me think about it..."
"What are you thinking about? You don't want the free money? What's more, it's not for you, it's for Huimei. When the time comes, the amount will be shared with her and used as private money."
"I'm not short of money now. Let me think about it first. I was working in the fields just now. When Huimei said it, she came over immediately without thinking about it in detail. Let me think about it first."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about him and let him think by himself. He turned to Ye Huimei and said, "I hesitate to give him money. I, the person giving it, don't feel bad, but he hesitates."
"Isn't this too surprising? I wasn't mentally prepared, and I felt a little hot. How about forgetting it? We also have money, and now we are on the same boat."
Aguang agreed, "Yes, you don't need to give it to us. Otherwise, I would just spend money to redeem it for you. That's okay."
"Did I give you the few thousand yuan? It was originally given to Huimei. If you redeem it, it won't be yours anymore?"
"Is there a difference? What's the difference between hers and mine?"
"Of course there is a difference. What's hers is hers, and what's yours is still hers. Her share can be kept separately. If you want to redeem it, you can discuss it with your second brother and give him his share as well.
We can redeem it together."
He didn't expect his second brother to give that share directly to Huimei. After all, his second sister-in-law wasn't that easy to talk to, and their family also spent money to buy the shares.
He can give it to himself, but he cannot ask others to do the same.
Originally, the financial conditions of the two brothers were not equal. The second brother's family had only made some money in the past two years. That share cost one or two thousand yuan, so how could he just give it away casually?
You won’t give so much money to your daughter when she marries.
If you want to be generous, you can't pretend to be fat. It would be nice if you could negotiate redemption.
Outsiders won't say anything, since everyone knows he is rich anyway, and outsiders won't demand the two brothers equally. After all, the whole village knows that the two brothers are not unequal economically.
Just like when he bought gold for his parents, and the whole village knew it, could others ask his eldest and second brothers to buy a similar share for his parents?
Impossible.
At most, you can praise him and praise him to the heavens, but you won't belittle his eldest and second brothers.
"If you get back 30% of it and only the second brother and Uncle Zheng are left, then I will definitely discuss it with them and see if I can buy it back. It's okay if it's a little more expensive."
"Well, you can think about it after the family separation. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it won't be short of a few months."
"Then let's wait until after the New Year. Let's sell your three shares first. You'll still have to pay some money."
Now it was just a few words, and Ye Yaodong stopped arguing and only said a few perfunctory words.
Ye Huimei held his arm and tugged on his clothes, "When are you going to the city? I'll go with you."
"What are you going for? Who can care about your three children? I won't help you carry them."
"I don't take care of the child. I'll leave the child at home for A Guang and Mom, and I'll go shopping with you by myself."
"Then that's pretty much it. Let's go tomorrow. It will probably be a nice day with no wind. Your question was very timely."
"I also heard some of the younger ones saying that they were going to the city tomorrow. When do you plan to go? In the early morning or at night?"
"It's five in the morning. There's no need to rush. You can go to bed early at night."
"That's okay."
When Ye Yaodong got up this morning and tore up the calendar, he planned his schedule for the next few days.
I'll go to the city tomorrow and rest for two days when I come back. I'll ask Fang Jingfu when the accounts will be settled. Then after the New Year, I'll go to Wenzhou City to get some dividends and give out a bunch of New Year gifts.
After returning, I can rest for two more days, then go to the city to bring back the workers, close the factory, put things away, arrange for people to work shifts during the Chinese New Year, and then take my godfather and stepmother back to the county town.
Then you can spend the New Year with peace of mind.
With this arrangement, the time will not be too tight or confusing.
They sat at the door and talked until lunch time before going home.
Ye Yaodong came into the house smelling the scent of leeks, and ate some secretly. Lin Xiuqing was serving scrambled eggs with leeks, and looked at Ye Chenghu who was so serious as never before. His words were flying and his pen kept moving.
"If you keep this motivation, will it still be a problem to enter college in the future?"
When he took a closer look, the writing was still called calligraphy?
He frowned, knocked on the table, "Erase and rewrite."
Ye Chenghu raised his head in shock, "Why."
"Is it all in vain that I gave you the copybook?"
Ye Yaodong looked through his homework book. The first few pages were all neatly written, while the last few pages were full of cursive writing.
This assignment probably requires them to copy the full text.
Not to mention missing arms and legs, he probably couldn't understand it himself.
"It would be nice if it was completed."
"You don't have a good attitude. I'll stay to look at the house tomorrow. I haven't finished writing it before the New Year, and it's still scrawled like this. Don't think about the New Year's money. Don't even think about keeping the New Year's money given by others and putting it in the piggy bank. All of it will be confiscated."
Ye Chenghu screamed and wailed, lying on the table in despair.
"No...Dad..."
It’s useless to call me ancestor.”
"Can you please not erase it? I will write it neatly later."
"no."
"The teacher won't find it, the teacher won't read it, just look at the first few pages."
"If you're cheating and cheating, don't even eat lunch. Go and stand for me."
"Ah... don't..."
Ye Xiaoxi didn't know when he climbed up on the stool. While eating, he also grabbed a piece of egg and stuffed it into Ye Chenghu's mouth.
"Eat quickly, you'll have to stand!"
Ye Chenghu chewed in his mouth and reached out to eat. Ye Yaodong quickly held down his paw and slapped it a few times.
"Ye Xiaojiu, please stand still for me."
"ah?"
Ye Xiaoxi quickly stole another piece of egg and stuffed it into his mouth, quickly got off the table and ran out, "Auntai, Auntai, it's time to eat, it's time to eat..."
Ye Chenghu's crying face.
Ye Yaodong said with a straight face, "If you don't erase it, I will throw your homework book into the stove and burn it, and I will ask you to start over."
"No, I'll rewrite it."
Lin Xiuqing said: "If you finish your homework early, you can play with anything, why do you have to be forced to do it?"
He lowered his head, stood in the corner with his homework book, and then wiped it bit by bit in his palms. Tears fell in large numbers, and he felt very distressed.
This is what he worked so hard to write...
Ye Xiaoxi brought in reinforcements and felt that he had a backer, so he walked in swaggering and wanted to serve the food again.
Ye Yaodong reached out and picked her up.
She clasped the table tightly, "Ata, Ata, I'm hungry..."
"I won't starve you to death, but why don't you stand here, turn a deaf ear to my words, turn around and run away, and still call for reinforcements? No one can save you."
He put Ye Xiaoxi and Ye Chenghu together and said, "Stand still for me."
Ye Chenghu's originally slumped shoulders immediately opened up and straightened his back. It looked like he was used to standing.
Ye Xiaoxi stood and didn't dare to run around anymore. She raised her head angrily and glared at Ye Chenghu, "It's all your fault!"
Ye Chenghu glanced down at her and said nothing.
Ye Xiaoxi continued to repeat, "It's all your fault!"
She kept repeating it, but Ye Chenghu didn't respond.
Long-term experience told him that as long as there was a response, if the two of them quarreled later, a beating would definitely be inevitable.
Now it's just a penalty for standing, and after he's done standing, the old lady will still have food for him to eat.
Ye Xiaoxi saw that everyone was at the table for dinner, but she had nothing to eat, so she got angry and stepped on Ye Chenghu's feet again.
Ye Chenghu couldn't hold back and stepped back politely, but not so hard.
Not to be outdone, Ye Xiaoxi jumped up again to step on it, jumping back and forth like a flea.
"Stand still."
The two of them were in their respective places in an instant.
Ye Xiaoxi even yelled angrily, "I'm going to sleep with my wife tonight, not you guys."
"That's great." Ye Yaodong said this sincerely.
It just so happens that I don't have to take her with me tomorrow, so I will leave her and Ye Chenghu to keep her company and look after the house at home.
I can hug my wife with peace of mind at night and have a good sleep.
Ye Chengyang was so honest that he had already been punished for standing for two days. He didn't dare to say a word. He only dared to eat in silence, pretending to be transparent, and then hurriedly slipped out after eating.
You can't stay in this home for a moment, as it can easily bring disaster to your family.
After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he and Lin Xiuqing went to the workshop to work and collect all the dried fish. They happened to be going to the city tomorrow, so they could empty out the small warehouse here and transport it to the city for storage.
Now that it's cold and dark early, Ah Cai delivers the goods one after another in the middle of the afternoon, just in time to finish weighing the goods and connect the old aunts who kill fish.
I'll get off work when it's time to eat, and come back to work the next day. The fish won't go bad even if it's cold.
It's just after lunch now. After they have collected these goods and sorted them out, they can almost continue to weigh what Ah Cai sent.
Pei Dongqing came over just after eating, and saw the two couples turning over the dried fish to receive the goods, so he also came over to help.
"Brother Dong, don't you want to bask in the sun anymore?"
"What are you talking about? Am I someone who waits for food instead of working?"
She was very happy when she heard it, "Hey, I see you sitting outside the door and basking in the sun every day. At most, you walk around here for a while and then leave again. Then you continue to sit outside and play cards in the sun. Occasionally, you lie on the lounge chair with a newspaper covering your face.
"
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Look, the people's eyes are sharp. Dongqing is not wrong at all."
"What's wrong? I'm obviously wrong. I'm also basking in the sun now, but I'm not losing it at all. You can do less work. The sun in winter is so comfortable."
Both women were amused by him.
"Stop talking so much."
"Then I'll do it for you, and I'll go bask in the sun."
"Do you want to move the goods inside to the ship first? After all, we are leaving early in the morning, and there are not many workers at that time. Moving the goods is also troublesome. Let's move it to the ship first while we have more people."
"That's fine. As long as it's not placed on the deck, it's not a big problem to move it to the cabin and lock it up. I'll arrange the arrangements. You guys are busy here."
Ye Yaodong threw away the dried fish. He put his hand to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was a strong smell of fish and a stinking smell.
Turning around, he put both hands on the tip of Lin Xiuqing's nose and let her smell it.
"Um~What are you doing?"
Ye Yaodong didn't let her hide, so he stood behind her, circling his hands on both sides of her head, "Let me smell it for you."
"It stinks so much, go away."
Lin Xiuqing hit him twice in disgust, and then he smiled and asked someone to move the goods.
Dongqing looked on with envy, "Sister-in-law, you two have such a good relationship."
"Haha, don't you have a bad relationship with your own brother and sister-in-law?"
"It's okay, even if I'm not at home all day long, I don't see much of them, and they don't do this at home either."
"That's because your family is very complicated. If we separate the families and live alone, the population will be simple. If you want to be envious, you should find one as soon as possible. In the whole village and even the surrounding villages, you can choose boys at will."
"Haha..." She smiled, lowered her head and did things without saying anything.
Lin Xiuqing stopped talking after seeing her appearance. She was not her own biological sister, so it was the girl who had to worry about her.
Ye Yaodong drove the tractor in and out, carrying a few strong laborers back and forth. In just two hours, the small warehouse was emptied by him, and all the goods were loaded into the fish warehouse of the Dongsheng.
Just go to the city, there is no need to open a fresh ship, the Dongsheng is enough.
Throughout the afternoon, the two couples had a lot of work, and each was busy there.
When it was almost time for dinner, Lin Xiuqing took the lead to cook, leaving some aftermath matters in the workshop and the weighing of Ah Caiyun's goods to him and Dongqing.
I was busy until dark, and then I got all the goods, washed the floor, and asked the aunts to get off work first and come back to work tomorrow.
He also told Pei Dongqing, "We are going to the city early tomorrow morning, and it will be late at night when we get back. Please pay more attention to what is going on in the workshop."
"Anyway, you're already done. We've collected everything that needs to be collected today. There shouldn't be much else to do tomorrow except weighing. If you need help, just ask for help."
Pei Dongqing nodded with a smile, "I know, I will keep an eye on the workshop and guard the rear for you."
Ye Yaodong also smiled and said as he walked: "Well, work hard. I'll give you a big red envelope when it's time to celebrate the New Year in a few days."
"OK."
"It's getting dark soon. Let's go home and have dinner."
"OK."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he didn't even look at her. He teased the dog at his feet and walked home.
Pei Dongqing also walked quickly towards the village.
At this time, every household in the village is filled with smoke, and the aroma of various seafood is wafting everywhere.
Ye Yaodong smelled the fragrant food as soon as he entered the house. He took a deep sniff and said, "It smells so good. I'm starving to death."
"Wash your hands and eat."
"Um."
When he passed by Ye Xiaoxi, he put his hands on her face and rubbed it, and asked her to protest strongly before going to wash it.
"Hate!"
"Don't sleep with me at night, remember! Keep your word."
"snort!"
Ye Yaodong's hands were wet, and he flicked water drops on her face several times. She dodged left and right, screaming angrily.
"Stop teasing her."
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
She shouted, "I don't want it!"
Ye Yaodong was satisfied and sat down to take the chopsticks without teasing her.
Ye Chenghu asked cautiously: "Dad, when will you go tomorrow?"
"none of your business."
"I won't sleep at night."
"Okay, just sit and wait."
"I will definitely not sleep."
Ye Chengyang ate in silence, looking extremely honest, but was betrayed by his rolling eyes. He looked here and there.
As long as he keeps quiet and doesn't do anything wrong, his father will definitely take care of him.
Ye Chenghu was thinking about it. As long as he was awake and not asleep, everyone would go there without him.
So when he went to bed at night, he actually sat directly against the wall, hugging the quilt and sitting on the bed without taking off his clothes.
Seeing that he hadn't taken off his clothes, Ye Chengyang thought about it and just took off his cotton-padded jacket.
"Yangyang..."
"ah?"
"You're leaving, remember to call me, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."
"But I will fall asleep."
"I'll give you a dime, but don't sleep anymore. If dad leaves, he won't take you with him."
Ye Chengyang thought about it and it made sense, so he wouldn't go to bed because his brother had paid him back anyway.
"good."
The two brothers sat side by side against the wall. They could chat for a few words after turning off the lights. But when their eyelids became heavy, they could only resist with all their strength and stopped talking.
Both of them held on, rubbing their eyes from time to time, pushing each other, and calling each other's names.
After someone was pushed down behind me, I was lying on the soft quilt and couldn't get up. My will told me not to sleep, but my eyes were already closed. I just squinted for a while as I thought...
When Ye Yaodong came up to call Yangyang, he saw the two brothers sleeping on the quilt without taking off their clothes.
Yangyang finally took off his coat, and Ye Chenghu was completely intact.
He covered Ye Chenghu with the quilt, picked up a large cotton-padded jacket and put it on him, then picked him up and walked downstairs.
"Still sleeping? Then let him sleep, don't take him with you."
"You have to do what you promised, otherwise you will be disappointed? These two children didn't even take off their clothes and lay on the quilt."
Moreover, Yangyang has been very well-behaved and honest these days. There is no reason not to take him with us, and forget about the other two.
He took the child back to his room and woke him up.
"Dad? Are you leaving?"
"Well, put on your clothes, tie your scarf, and wear gloves. It's cold early in the morning and the sea breeze is strong on the boat."
"Brother asked me to call him..."
"Then you stay at home with him?"
He shook his head and quickly put on his clothes. When he was picked up by Ye Yaodong, he jumped for joy and hugged his neck tightly.
His father hasn't hugged him for a long time...
The old lady had already steamed a pot of sweet potatoes, wrapped them in newspapers one by one, and put them in the basket with the eggs for them to take with them on the road.
Driving a boat is not like driving a tractor. They can also pass through the city and buy food. The hot sweet potatoes are warm in the hand and taste sweet.
The two families next to the door and Ye Huimei were already waiting there. Seeing that they only hugged Ye Chengyang, Ye Huimei asked with concern.
Ye Yaodong explained, "There are two left, one is dishonest, and the other is too young and is causing trouble. It's not even bright yet, so let them sleep. There will be more opportunities to take them there in the future."
"Then let's go."
Ye Huimei also wanted to say: "So many people have gone, leaving Cheng Hu alone at home... When he wakes up, he will be so angry..."
"You can't let a child be spoiled. He's been too shy lately. He's ahead of other kids in everything. He's a little out of control. You have to suppress his arrogance."
"Oh," Ye Huimei smiled, "then Yangyang still looks good."
Ye Chengyang was wrapped in a scarf and only his eyes were exposed. He smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law."
Ye Chengjiang said: "When we come back, I will lay out all the things I bought for Cheng Hu to see."
"Hey, he's going to be so angry." Ye Chenghe was extremely excited.
"Ah!" Ye Chengyang exclaimed, "I didn't take my piggy bank..."
He struggled to get off the ground and ran home to get the piggy bank.
"No, dad will buy it for you. If your grades are better next time, I will buy you whatever you want."
"Okay, next time I will take the 100 test." Ye Chengyang happily hugged Ye Yaodong's neck and stayed on him obediently.
Ye Huimei added: "You stole it in the middle of the night and bought a bunch of things. Chenghu is really going to cry with anger, so why don't you take him with you?"
"I have to cry for him and make him be more honest. He is already 10 years old after the New Year, so he has to be more sensible."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. Have you thought about what you want to buy?"
"I've thought about it. I've written down everything I have to buy so I won't forget it. I'll buy everything else when I see it..."
"Oh, if I had known I would have taken some paper and taken notes..."
The three sisters-in-law and Ye Huimei got together to talk and laugh, and there was endless talk.
The children were also jumping up and down, very excited. They had never been to the city, so Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were not as lucky.
Every pocket clinked, and it seemed that he had brought all his belongings with him.
Ye Yaodong saw so many children and couldn't help but give a few more instructions.
"Now that the New Year is approaching, there will definitely be a lot of people everywhere, especially in markets or department stores. It will definitely be crowded. So many of us will definitely get separated by then. You have to watch your children."
"Yes, I'm not young anymore, I can handle it well."
Ye Huimei said: "I will also help you look after it. Third brother will bring one. It's good to have it hanging on your body."
Ye Yaodong rubbed Ye Chengyang's head, "Yeah."
Ye Chengyang felt that he was really happy today. His father was so kind to him. He was so big and he even hugged him and rubbed his head.
His eyes were filled with bubbles, and he lay obediently on his shoulder.
I thought to myself that he must be better than his brother, and he must have done better than his brother in the exam.
After Ye Yaodong took them on board, he asked them to rest in the cabin.
Ye Chengyang... He hesitated for a moment, but still took him into the cab. The cabin was a bit crowded, so he could learn more.
After all, he is a boy, so there is nothing wrong with having more exposure to him since he was a child. The exposure he had when he was young can also leave a deep impression on him when he grows up.
"Be good and don't touch it. Dad wants you to sail the boat."
Ye Chengyang's eyes were so bright that they caught up with the morning star in the sky, "Okay, Dad, you are so good..."
"Um."
"Dad, I will definitely come back to you with 100 points next time."
Ye Yaodong turned to look at him with admiration in his eyes, smiled, and touched his head again.
"The 100 points you scored in the test are not for me, but for yourself. It is a reward for your hard work. When you get 100 points on the next Chinese and math test, I will reward you with a Transformer."
He said loudly: "I will definitely do it!"
Chapter completed!
