Ye Yaodong counted on his fingers and it was only a few days.
"The wind has been blowing recently, and I don't know when the weather will be good."
"As long as it doesn't rain, it's fine. It's uncomfortable and humid when it rains. The roads are still muddy and you can't go out. The key is that you can't dry the fish. Otherwise, even if you can't go to the sea, you can go to the city and buy a few thousand kilograms and come back to dry it.
, we can still make this money.”
"Well, I know. Just keep an eye on the child. I'll go outside to see if Mom has finished killing the fish. I forgot to ask her to leave a basket."
I haven't been out to sea recently, and no one has fresh fish to eat. It's good to leave a basket to share with neighbors or relatives and friends to enhance relationships, but it's not worth much anyway.
The dragonhead fish is soft and soft, and it looks quite small, but when it is cut into a cross section and exposed to the sun, it looks quite big, and the small ones are particularly easy to kill.
He directly pulled out a basket of dragonhead fish piled in the corner, picked up a few at random, and pinched them. They were still very fresh, very elastic, and not soft at all.
"What are you doing? If you have time, bring out a kitchen knife to help kill them together. There are so many of them and they are so small. I don't know how long it will take to kill them."
"Isn't this little one easy to kill? It's much easier to kill than the slimy toad fish."
"But there are a lot of them."
"Wait a minute, I'll take some of these and give them away first."
"You bought it with money, and you gave it away to others? It's really a lot of money, and you didn't catch it yourself. The catcher said you would give some away, but you bought it specially and gave it away..."
Mother Ye couldn't bear to see his wasteful behavior and thought to herself.
Ye Yaodong's hand holding the small basin to catch the fish also stopped, and he said helplessly: "It's just a few cents, and I didn't give it away everywhere. A few friends gave me a little, so that's what I have to say."
"That was also bought with money."
Ye Yaodong shook his head and didn't care what he was talking about. What's the difference?
After returning from the delivery, Mother Ye asked him what his plans were for the store.
"My eldest brother and my second brother are planning to rent it, what about you?"
"I don't know, I have to see."
"If you don't rent it, do you still plan to go to the city to check out the store? Your family's boat is going to be left there and not go to sea?"
"Isn't that right? Dongzi, you don't want to fish anymore? Then if you leave the boat at home, why don't you just rent it to your eldest cousin and your second cousin? Or you can sell it to them." The aunt said impatiently while killing fish on the side.
.
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "If I don't fish, what can I do? I don't know anything. Who knows how many days the dried fish can be sold?"
"I didn't say that the store wouldn't be available for rent. It might not be possible to rent it out anytime soon. If it can't be rented out, I definitely can't just leave it empty there."
"Uh...that's right too."
"So I have to think about how to do it."
The aunt said again: "When I came here, I heard someone said that you bought two shops in the city. Is it true? I just asked your mother, and your mother still couldn't explain clearly."
Ye Yaodong glanced at his old mother, but it was rare that he didn't show off.
Mother Ye seemed to understand the meaning of his eyes and gave him a fierce look.
"How do I know how many he buys? I can't control him. I never listen to a word he says. I always do whatever I want."
"I'm not a three-year-old child, why should I ask you everything?"
Mother Ye glanced at him and didn't argue with him. Do whatever you want, as long as you don't lie at home all day doing nothing.
The aunt smiled again and interrupted the mother and son's stubborn words, "Do you really want to buy two of them? Dongzi is really prosperous now. I heard that two of them cost several thousand. Then you add the ones at home.
A boat can’t afford a ten-thousand-yuan household?”
"Haha~ How can it be so easy? I borrowed a lot of money from my parents to buy it. Now I owe a lot of debt. How can I have a household worth ten thousand yuan? How can money be so easy to earn?"
"Last year, people said that a pig farmer could earn 10,000 yuan a year..."
"Those are pig farmers. We, fishermen, depend on the weather for our livelihood. Can it be the same?"
Fortunately, he kept the matter of booking a big ship a secret and told his family and a few friends not to tell anyone about it, otherwise the village would be in a state of uproar.
It's okay to have a buffer time of two years. In another year or two, households worth ten thousand yuan will no longer be a big deal. Various self-employed businesses will emerge, and then the land will be filled with households worth ten thousand yuan.
"That's true. We don't even know how many days we can earn in a month..."
"Many people in our village are raising pigs this year..."
"I'm going to catch two more piglets and raise them next year..."
The topic just got sidetracked, and no one asked him how many he bought in the store.
Although he couldn't hide it, it would be fine if he didn't admit it directly and let others guess. Anyway, the couple didn't want to wander around in the cold weather. They stayed at home so that no one would ask questions about him.
But anyone who is not blind can see that his family's life is getting more and more prosperous.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the village was obviously more lively than before, and there were more vendors selling things.
From morning to night, there are all kinds of people carrying burdens and pushing carts to sell goods, especially the only road in the village. It has changed from the depression of winter in the past and makes people feel the lively atmosphere at the end of the year.
Even the children's pockets have a lot of snacks, because there are more people visiting relatives, and it is inevitable that they will grab a handful of melon seeds, peanuts, and candies in their pockets.
Dongqiao Village, the largest village nearby, also has a market. Many people from the surrounding villages, large and small, go to Dongqiao Village early every morning to go to the market, or exchange their own agricultural and sideline foods for other things.
Lin Xiuqing also went shopping twice to buy some small items for her home, and also prepared everything she wanted to send to her parents' house for the New Year.
Without going out to sea or delivering goods, Ye Yaodong has been the biggest idler in the family these days. He just plays with his children and looks after the house every day.
These past few days have also been the happiest days for the children at home, because the winter vacation is finally here. They no longer have to get up early to go to school in the cold weather, and can play at home every day.
And since Ye Chenghu knew that they were going to his grandma's house to send off the New Year, he kept thinking about when to go there every day. He couldn't wait to go and play with his cousins.
This has grown into a daily question!
"Mom, when are we going to grandma's house? It's been a long time. I've been on vacation for many days. If I don't go, you can either take me to the market first? I heard that the market is very lively, and there are everything for sale...
…”
He had been walking next to Lin Xiuqing early in the morning, walking step by step, even going to wash a diaper, and he never stopped talking.
Lin Xiuqing almost wanted to be beaten with a whip when she heard this, "Shut up. Ever since I went out to wash a diaper, you have been reading it behind me. Until now, when you come back, aren't your mouths thirsty?"
I don’t know who his personality is like? He can talk so much at a young age.
Ye Yaodong: (Damn it!)
"I'm thirsty, but you didn't reply to me. You didn't say whether you wanted to take me to the market?"
"Do you think your life is too long? As the New Year approaches, there are more and more thieves and traffickers. If you lose us, you won't be able to see us. Then those traffickers will chop off your hands, feet, gouge out your eyes, and go begging for food. Are you afraid?
Not afraid?"
"But...but last year my father took us to town to go shopping and watch movies. It was fine."
"That's because your father took us together. I can't take you with me."
"Why can't you take me with you?"
"Because I get annoyed just looking at you!"
Ye Chenghu: "..."
"I'm still not biological anymore?"
Ye Chengyang interrupted: "You were picked up from a latrine!"
"You were picked up from a latrine!" Ye Chenghu shouted angrily.
"You are the one!"
"You are the one!"
"Who are you!"
Ye Chenghu had an angry face, and he rushed forward and wanted to hit someone.
Ye Chengyang reacted quickly and hurriedly ran to hide behind his mother. He even grabbed the hem of her clothes and dodged left and right to avoid it.
Lin Xiuqing pulled and twirled the clothes of the people behind her, which made people dizzy. Since the two of them are a little older, they are particularly good at quarreling.
"Stop it."
She looked at Ye Yaodong, who was sitting leisurely in front of the stove with his legs crossed, warming himself by the fire, and cutting his toenails with a pair of scissors, and couldn't help but get angry.
"You just don't care about them?"
"Ah?" Ye Yaodong raised his head in confusion, "What does it matter? If you want to fight, just fight. Just fight. It will save you having to do it yourself."
Lin Xiuqing has a head full of black marks, so we can't expect him to be able to teach children.
Ye Yaodong held the big scissors and didn't care about the quarrel and fight between the two children. He just felt that it was inconvenient to cut with the big scissors.
He still has big feet. If these are his daughter's small hands, how can he cut them?
If you're not careful, not to mention the meat, your fingers will be cut off.
Ye Chenghu took advantage of his parents to talk there, and Ye Chengyang's attention was diverted. He quickly went around, kicked Ye Chengyang hard on the butt, and then ran towards the door quickly.
.
Ye Chengyang burst into tears instantly, "Wow, brother kicked me~"
"Shut up, you deserve it! Why provoke him for no reason?"
He cried louder and sadder instantly.
Lin Xiuqing didn't bother to care about him. His father was watching here anyway, so she still wanted to go to the house to see if the other child was awake?
Ye Yaodong didn't want to care about him at first. He thought he would stop crying when he had enough. Why did the boy want to coax him?
Who knew that this child's tears were like those of a faucet, and he couldn't stop them, and his ears were buzzing.
"Okay, don't cry."
Ye Chengyang closed his eyes, raised his head high, and looked absorbed in crying. How could he listen to him?
Ye Yaodong saw his face covered with tears and snot, and he also had a headache. "Don't cry. I will take you to your grandma's house tomorrow, but not your brother."
It stopped instantly.
"Without brother?"
"Well, don't take him."
"Okay, don't take brother with you."
He lifted up his sleeves and wiped away his tears and runny nose. The rain suddenly stopped and the sky cleared up, but his sleeves were also wet, and there was still turbid and sticky mucus.
Ye Yaodong glanced at me with disgust, "Isn't it disgusting? You don't know how to wipe it with a handkerchief?"
As he said that, he put down the half-cut scissors, twisted it with a rag, and wiped the sleeves, otherwise the small piece of the sleeve would become hard after it dried for a while.
"Then when are we going?"
"tomorrow."
There is also an update from the leader, which will be released around two o'clock.
