At night, Ye Yaodong had time to tell her what happened in the market today. He even said proudly that the store he bought was the second to last one, and two people behind him started fighting over the last store.
"And the number of stores released in the next batch will be very small. I heard that the price will increase by 500 to 1,000."
"Ah? 3,000 yuan is already expensive enough. Who wants to increase the price further?"
"You don't understand this, right? If people let the news out in advance, the price of the later products will increase. Wouldn't the people who bought it secretly be happy that it was worth buying? The prices of the later products have increased, but the quantity is small, and some people will also be afraid.
There wouldn’t be a shop like this in this village.”
"I don't understand these twists and turns. Anyway, the money has been spent. I hope it will become more and more valuable, and I can get some rent from renting it out in the future. It will also save us two trips."
"Well, I have been going back and forth this day and I don't know when I can go to sea. Fortunately, I made 28 yuan today after deducting travel expenses."
"You know how nervous you are now?"
Ye Yaodong took the cattail leaf fan she was using to fan the child and fanned it for the two of them. "This is called a sense of urgency. Only when you have pressure can you be motivated. Now you have to make money."
"You go to sleep. I'll fan her. You've been tired all day, so you just need to take a nap in the afternoon." Lin Xiuqing said and touched the child's neck. She felt relieved when there was no sweat.
"Um."
Maybe the previous typhoon had just left, and another typhoon passed behind it. It rained a little here for several days in a row, and then it cleared up again.
It was so erratic that even the tide rose again and did not recede for several days.
Ye Yaodong sat on the armchair at the door early in the morning, listening to the radio and reading the last issue of the newspaper, which was rare and leisurely.
Hearing the jingle of a bicycle bell at the door, he raised his head and looked over. It was the postman coming to deliver newspapers.
"Ye Yaodong, there is a letter from you and your newspaper."
Hmm? Still have a letter?
Ye Yaodong sat up straight in confusion, "Son, go bring me the newspaper and the letter."
"Oh." Ye Chenghu stood up in front of the kennel reluctantly, but did not move for a long time.
Last night, the big black dog gave birth to six puppies. In the morning, Lin Xiuqing found out when she was mixing the leftovers for the big black dog. After telling her two sons, they called their brothers and sisters over to watch.
Wet puppy.
A few of them were motionless, looking at the little puppy huddled up in a ball, which was strange.
"I'll do it, I'll do it~" Ye Chengyang actively stood up after hearing his father's words, ran outside, and rushed to do it.
"Dad~ give it to you~"
Ye Yaodong took it and patted his youngest son on the head with satisfaction, "You are still good."
Ye Chengyang happily tilted his head and leaned over, picking up the newspaper on his lap, "Dad, don't you want this?"
"Don't you want it? I've seen it all."
"Then can I get an origami plane?"
"Okay, but don't get it wet. Remember to save it to wipe your butt..."
After Ye Yaodong said casually, he held the envelope doubtfully. It wasn't until he saw the newspaper written by the sender on it that he suddenly realized it.
A few days before the typhoon, the people from the newspaper promised to send him photos. Unexpectedly, they kept their promise and actually sent them to him.
The current mailing is really slow. It took 12 or 3 days to send it from the county to their village. I don’t know if it was because the photos were developed slowly or because it was delayed by the typhoon.
He quickly opened the envelope and saw two five-inch photos inside.
When I took it out, I saw that it was in black and white, and the picture was not that clear. It was obvious that there was a huge thing on the sea, and there was a person on it. There were two boats docked next to it. It can be seen that the distance when shooting was still small.
Quite far.
Ye Yaodong complained with some disgust, "The photo was so rubbish. I didn't even capture my heroic demeanor. I can only barely recognize him as a human being."
The old lady sat next to her, stretched her head curiously and looked over, "Is this you?"
"Yeah, cool, isn't it? You see, I was untying the fishing net on the whale shark, and that's it... I'm the one on top..."
He was disgusted, but that didn't stop him from telling the old lady about his heroic deeds and heroic deeds at sea.
The old lady's eyes lit up as she looked at it, "Oh, it's true, you are really promising. This photo is really good..."
She couldn't put it down and looked back and forth between the two photos, and fell into memories.
"A fish of this size has been stranded in our village before, and I don't know if it's the one in the photo. There was a famine at that time, and everyone didn't have enough to eat. When they happened to die, they were killed by the brigade and shared among them."
Ye Yaodong just opened the newspaper and raised his head in surprise when he heard it, "Really? That's a death well worth it."
"It's been so many years, I can't remember it clearly, my eyes don't work well, and I feel blurry when I look at the photos."
"It's not bad. At least other people's old people are old and confused. It doesn't look like you can live for another few decades."
"Nonsense, I'm already 81."
"Look, you still remember your age, which means it's still early for you to become an old fool."
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he looked through the contents of this issue to see if there was any text published?
Unexpectedly, I saw that there was actually a small panel on the back of the second page. There was a bunch of small words written on it, and the name of their village appeared, with an illustration that was the same as the photo.
The salvage of bronzes had appeared two or three times in the previous issues of the newspaper, and it was already in the newspaper before the salvage was completed.
In this issue, he rummaged around and found that the only one about the whale shark was about their village.
Although the section it occupies is relatively small, within a short period of time the name of their village appeared one after another in the newspaper, making it quite famous.
You know, the most common medium for the outside world to receive information now is newspapers, such as radios and televisions, which most people read less.
Ye Yaodong hurriedly went into the house to get scissors. He had to cut out this section of the newspaper and keep it as a souvenir. No one would read the newspaper in the future. These were all memories.
The old lady also saw his actions, and when she saw that the picture in the newspaper was exactly the same as the photo in her hand, she was also proud, and her old face burst into laughter.
"Dongzi is promising! It's been in the newspapers. Now many people know about you and see you."
"This face is not even showing. It looks so gray. Who knows who it is? But it's good if we know. When I get rich, we'll buy a camera and take better pictures ourselves."
"Okay, okay, take more pictures and show them to me later."
"How about I take you to the town to take some nice photos while I have free time these days."
The old lady smiled and waved her hand, "What's so good about an old lady with wrinkles on her face? And I can't walk that long distance anymore. You young people can just take a few more pictures, save them, and take them out later."
Look, show me too. Come on, take the photos in and put them away quickly, don’t lose them.”
"Um."
The ground has been wet recently, the road conditions are bad, and it’s not easy to walk, so let’s talk about it again.
When Ye Yaodong brought the photo and the cut newspaper into the room for Lin Xiuqing to put it away, she looked at it curiously for a while and said it was a pity. It was too far away and the photo was not clear. She couldn't even see the face.
arrive.
"When I can save more money in the future, I will buy a camera and take pictures wherever I go. It was a pity that I didn't take photos last time."
"You want to buy everything. I have never seen a man like you. He talks about wanting to buy a camera, a refrigerator and so on all day long. Even women don't want to buy this or that."
Lin Xiuqing muttered before putting his photo and the cut paper into the drawer. She took out the family photo they took during the New Year and looked at it for a few times. She couldn't help but smile and put it together.
Ye Yaodong sat on the bed, with his hands behind his back, leaning back, crossing his legs and shaking, and said matter-of-factly: "What's the point? Isn't it ideal? I have a few goals? I also want to buy a washing machine and a TV.
, I want to buy a motorcycle, and I also want to buy a car.”
"It's so early in the morning, do you really think that you haven't woken up yet?"
"Everything will come true eventually, the times are developing."
"Then it's up to you. Just let me see it before I close my eyes for the rest of my life."
Ye Yaodong sat up and patted her fleshy butt, duang~duang~.
"What do you mean by closing your eyes? You are too underestimated. Look at me, I will definitely be able to achieve anything in the future, so that you can live a good life and live in a good house."
"Stop talking big words and work more. If you have nothing to do, go out and help weave a net. Don't paint a big picture for me here."
Lin Xiuqing just learned the word "drawing a pie" from him a few days ago.
"Then I might as well go to the beach for a walk. Isn't there enough work for you at home? You can't even make a dollar by knitting there all day. Knit a yarn. Isn't it a long time since I weaved a fishing net? How can I get it again?
I got the thread and came back to knit."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "Don't we have to pay 5,000 yuan at the end of the year? Just thinking about such a large amount of money makes me feel sad. It took a lot of effort for us to save so much wealth. I won't do anything else, just take advantage of my free time.
Weave as much as you can, at least you can subsidize it a little, and the little you add up makes more."
"And don't you still want to send your eldest son to school when school starts? It just so happens that there are still about ten days left, so I can save him a tuition fee and two sets of clothes. When I go to school, I can't pick up the trash from my brothers and sisters.
The clothes are worn."
Ye Yaodong was a little moved when he heard her plain and somewhat natural words.
Although she is just an ordinary country woman, not as glamorous as a city woman, she has many shining points, and her whole heart and eyes are full of this home.
She interprets the qualities of women of this era such as being hard-working, hard-working and simple, frugal, loving family, and filial to their elders. She is a person who can share joys and sorrows.
"You are just messing around. Don't you still have a lot of money at home? How much can you charge for tuition and fabrics? Why don't I need you? I am the one who makes the money. Don't burn your eyes out. Just take care of the family and the children.
Already."
"I'll just knit randomly when I have free time. Anyway, I have free time. It's good to save a little more. I can buy some food for the children."
Ye Yaodong didn't talk about her anymore. Anyway, there were old and young children at home, and she couldn't sit there all day weaving webs.
The next one goes to sea
