After the old lady finished speaking, she immediately waved to Ye Chengyang, "Yangyang, go to your hometown and call your father over."

"Okay, right away."

Ye Chengyang's hands were covered with dirt and he didn't wash them. He crossed his hands and rubbed the mud before running away.

Ye Yaodong said to the old lady: "Just hoe off all these vegetables and turn the ground over so you can plant new seeds. Go get the seeds. I don't know what you want to plant."

"Hey, okay, I'll go get it and see what vegetables I can plant next.'

Lin Xiuqing came over to help organize the dishes, then dragged them to the corner on the other side of the luggage and said the same thing.

"I have checked the luggage again. After dinner, you can ask the workers to come over and carry the things onto the ship one after another. This way you can sleep a little longer in the early morning."

"good."

The old lady went into the house to get the seeds, but somehow she dragged out two more large sacks.

"I almost forgot. I couldn't bear to feed your two sisters-in-law the sweet potatoes last year, so I cut them into shreds and dried them. In addition to the two bags here, there are 4 big bags inside. I will bring them all to you and mix them in the rice.

Let the workers eat and save some food."

Ye Yaodong nodded obediently, "I understand."

The old lady walked to the side, pulled him and whispered, "Eat less and eat more rice."

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This old lady really had a lot on her mind.

"They're all cooked together in a big pot, why should I eat less?"

"Oh, the rice inside will float on the top. When it's cooked, won't it just be on the top layer? You can dig out the rice at the bottom and eat it."

"I know, you are the only one who has a lot of eyes."

"You have so many workers, and they have to eat dozens of kilograms of grain every day. How can you afford it? You have to save a little."

"I know, I know, don't be so nagging."

Seeing that he had listened, the old lady happily touched the seeds in her pocket again, bent down and sprinkled the seeds into the dug hole, and then buried it with soil.

It was only when she saw Ye Chengyang running back alone and Ye's father didn't come that she became angry again.

"My father said he knows, and you don't need to be nagging."

"It's so outrageous. I asked him to do some work, but he still thinks I'm verbose——"

There were many children at home, so the work was quick. It took less than two hours to dig out all the potatoes and taros in the house, and pick all kinds of melons and beans. They packed several sacks, and the yard could hardly keep them.

Ye Yaodong felt a little headache looking at the things in the yard. There was everything. Fortunately, there was a group of workers, so he didn't need to do it.

After the meal, he asked people to come over and carry these things onto the boat.

His father didn't wait for the old lady to tell him, and he consciously went to do what he should do first.

After finishing the work, I went to the dock to help Ye Yaodong.

But when he got to the dock, Ye Yaodong didn't need him anymore. With more people and strength, the goods had already been transported to the ship without much effort.

"Go back and have a good rest later. We will gather at 3:30 in the morning and set off on time at 4 o'clock. I have brought everything you need to prepare and bring. You only need to bring your own luggage, even in winter."

"I know-" everyone responded.

"After the show, everyone goes back to their homes."

Everyone clapped their hands and stood together in twos and threes, chatting about the departure and walking towards the village.

They set off on this trip with only a few large boats, but it was not that sensational. There was not much discussion in the village. After all, the number of people was reduced by half, and less than half of the women were working in their workshops.

Ye Yaodong has obviously felt that the village has become deserted during this period, and he can understand what A Qing said last year. The village was deserted and a puddle of stagnant water, without any disturbance at all.

Isn't there no trouble? The men are gone, leaving only women, the elderly and children at home. Besides studying and making money, there is no gossip.

So much so that before New Year's Day last year, the mouse brought a woman back, causing a sensation in the whole village. After months of silence, the village finally became lively.

At night, after Ye Yaodong finished his work in bed, he had a good talk with Ah Qing and explained everything.

"Now there is an accountant in the city, and there are telephones at home and there. All you need to do is call. Wait ten days and a half, then go to the fish sauce factory to check the account, and my father-in-law will collect the money.

.”

"I took the boat away, and there will be no debt to collect from Ah Cai. It will save you trouble. You don't have to worry about the boat. You only need to take care of your family's workshop and the fish cannery in the town."

Lin Xiuqing said curiously: "A few ships have just returned. He still has goods to sell these days. But after a while, there will be no goods. Your ship is no longer here. Does he have to go back to the village?"

"No, I've talked to him. He plans to rent a house on the dock to collect goods and work in his old business. He doesn't expect to be able to eat as much goods as I do. He can collect a little bit in scattered pieces. That's enough. I

There’s also a lot of pressure on him here.”

"That's okay."

"You don't have to worry about him. Even though he talks about me making money every day, he is still working for me.

The money he earned was converted into goods and accumulated there. In fact, he made a lot of money. When all the goods were sold out, it would naturally turn into money. It just so happened that during this period, he didn’t need to use money to buy my goods. He could cash them out.

There will be money.”

Lin Xiuqing laughed and said, "He really cries about poverty every day."

"It's all just an act. Otherwise, why would I be reluctant to come back? I plan to rent a stall at the pier and continue working."

"Well, if you arrive in Wen City tomorrow evening, remember to call back. If you arrive in Zhou City the day after tomorrow, you have to call back to report that you are safe."

"Know."

Lin Xiuqing warned with some worry, "If you have anything to do while you are away, remember to call me to discuss it. We have a phone number at home. Someone will answer the call at any time. It is easy to find and there is no need to wait. If I

If you’re not at home, the old lady must be here, and it’s the same thing if you leave her a message.”

"knew."

"No more killing first and then showing off."

"Um."

"There are two dogs at home who seem to be pregnant. Do you want to take some of them up to see the nursing home? The house over there is so empty—"

Ye Yaodong was already a little drowsy due to overwork, but he felt a little more energetic after hearing this.

"Okay, bring a few more dogs, otherwise the two pregnant female dogs will definitely not adapt to the new environment. Having familiar dogs around will make you feel more at ease."

"Well, you can figure it out. There are too many dogs at home. Occasionally, we have a litter of puppies and give them away everywhere, but there are still more than a dozen left at home."

"Okay, when I leave in the early morning, those dogs will definitely get up and follow me. By then, besides the pregnant bitch, I can just pick up two more dogs on board."

"It's up to you. Go to bed early. It's already very late. We have to get up early tomorrow."

"Um.

He is indeed very sleepy.

It was still dark in the early morning, so Lin Xiuqing shook him awake.

"Get up, it's 3 o'clock."

Ye Yaodong was sleepy and confused, "It's three o'clock, so soon?"

At this time, there were also sounds of talking from the next door, indicating that his eldest and second brothers were also up.

In the dead of night, every sound can be heard very clearly.

"The noodles and noodles have been cooked for you, and the old lady has caught the chicken and duck for you."

"Chickens and ducks? What chickens and ducks are you catching?"

"She said I would catch some chickens and ducks for you to raise. I said she was too full. She wanted chickens and ducks but was afraid she wouldn't be able to buy them? She refused to listen."

"I'm really so full that I have to bring chickens and ducks up here alive? This is to let me live my life up there and not come back."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "She said it was local and she raised it well."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his temples, somewhat dumbfounded, "If you take this to Zhou City, you will become a foreign chicken.

Only the chicken bought locally in Zhoushi is called local chicken.”

"What does she care about you? She just thinks that the chickens she raises are good and they don't cost money."

"Lie down."

"Get up, don't worry about her. I caught her anyway, so hurry up and wash up. Separate the soup and noodles now. I'll pour the soup on top after you finish washing."

"Um.

Ye Yaodong sat and talked for a while before he woke up and quickly got dressed.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"You haven't slept all night, isn't it early?"

"You can't bear to leave me?"

"That's nonsense."

"There is still time, do you want to..."

"Stop being ridiculous and get up quickly. I'll go out and pick up the boiled eggs from the pot and bring them to you to eat on the road."
