Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong was woken up by Lin Xiuqing. It was only 6 o'clock.
If the boss is at home, you can't let him sleep as late as he wants. He has to get up early. If the boss wants to leave early, it will give a bad impression if he doesn't get up.
Ye Yaodong got up immediately after being shaken awake, "Are they up?"
"I must have gotten up and heard some noise, but before I came out of the house, the village chief and village secretary came over and sat in the yard chatting with dad."
"Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"They just arrived. As soon as they heard the noise, I came in and called you."
Ye Yaodong put on his trousers and a vest and went straight out, just as Director Chen opened the door and came out at the same time.
"Morning~"
"Good morning, Director Chen. Did you sleep well yesterday? Is it too crowded?"
"No, I slept well. It's still comfortable and cool at the beach. You don't need a fan. You can hear the sound of the waves on the beach at night when you lie down in the room, which is quite comfortable. You can also smell the faint smell of the sea, which feels good.
If I didn't have to go back to work, I would have stayed for two more days."
"Haha, if you have the chance next time, you can come and stay for a few more days. We can only stay casually in this small place to keep ourselves fresh. It's not as comfortable as you guys in the city."
"Everyone has his own merits."
"How is Comrade Jiang's injury?"
"It's okay, it's just that it's inconvenient to walk. I'll get him a stick later and let him walk on his own."
Lin Xiuqing brought two toothbrushes over and said with a smile: "I just bought them this morning. The village chief and secretary are already here. At the door, you can wash up and eat first, and then we can chat after eating."
"Thank you, your wife is so thoughtful."
"That's right. You guys will leave later and I'll ask my dad to buy a cane..."
"No need to bother, just grab a stick. We'll leave after breakfast anyway."
Ye Yaodong nodded, and the two of them squatted at the door to brush their teeth.
The village chief and village secretary greeted them, then waited by the side, watching them brush their teeth, and then followed them into the house after they were done.
The old lady also packed two bowls of porridge for the village chief and secretary. She greeted them with a smile, "You're welcome, eat together, it's a lot to cook."
"Okay, then we're welcome..."
Director Chen turned to Ye Yaodong and said: "What you said about the motorcycle yesterday, I will go back and report it and make a report. Anyway, it is broken like that. It will be troublesome to transport it back. I don't know if it can be repaired."
"
"If you want it, I'll keep it for you, and you can figure it out. If it can't be repaired, just sell it as scrap metal, and you don't have to pay me. You won't get much money if you sell it as scrap metal."
The village chief, secretary and Ye's father all opened their eyes in shock and even dropped their chopsticks on the table, "Motorcycle..."
Ye Yaodong was so happy that his mouth was split to the back of his head.
"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Chen! You are really my noble person. After meeting you, I have been blessed with good things and good luck! Tomorrow when I ask the old lady to pray to Buddha, I ask Bodhisattva to bless you with a long life.
With every passing year, your official career will be prosperous, your career will be getting higher and higher, and it will become more prosperous year by year..."
"Hahaha, don't flatter me, it's all broken like that. In fact, it's just some junk. Whether it can be repaired is another question."
"I'll study it later, so I won't bother Director Chen. Thank you very much."
"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat. Your dried fish tastes really good. I steam a few of them every morning and eat them with my meal. I haven't gotten tired of eating them for several months."
"When I go back, I'll take another bag with me."
"No, no, I'm just complimenting you..."
"What you want is what you want. These are the dried fish that we dried at home. They are all local specialties of our fishing village. They are not expensive things. You can take them back and share them with your relatives and friends to taste..."
The old lady also agreed, "Yes, they are all dried at home. The paddy fish on the table was just dried two days ago. It is very fragrant."
Father Ye also followed up and said: "Yes, we didn't send this kind of dried fish before. You can try it. Different dried fish have different flavors and the way to eat them is different."
They just got a good deal, so they need to show their appreciation properly, and they can't let anyone go back empty-handed.
Seeing how enthusiastic their family was, Director Chen smiled and did not object anymore. He turned to Jiang Zhicheng and said with a smile: "Take it back later that night, and let's share a little bit each of us to taste."
"Director Chen will take care of it, and I will benefit from it anyway."
"hehe……"
The breakfast was a pleasant one. The village chief and the secretary didn't say a few words throughout the whole process. Just listening to it made me envious. Although they were eating porridge, they felt like they were eating lemons in their mouths.
After Director Chen and the others were sent away, Secretary Chen couldn't help but said with envy: "What a good boy, if you keep the leader here for one night, you can get a broken motorcycle for free. It's really yours."
"It's all broken and broken, and I don't know if it can be repaired well. If you leave it here for me to toss around, it will save him trouble and save him having to transport it back."
"You're getting an advantage and still acting nice."
The village chief walked to the broken motorcycles piled in the corner of the yard and looked at them, "You are so lucky. I never expected to meet someone as easy to talk to as Bureau Chen, and with such good fortune..."
Father Ye was also so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He was so happy, "Remember to ask Lao Zhou to come over later and see if you can fix it."
"Well, that's what I think too. Uncle Zhou has been driving a tractor for more than ten years and he knows a lot about repairing tractors. Let him take a look at this motorcycle and see if it can be repaired."
"The scratches on the body and the dented sidecar are all fine. It's easy to reset them by knocking them. I just don't know if the wiring inside is broken, and whether the tires can be reset properly..."
"We'll know when someone comes over to take a look."
Secretary Chen couldn't help but sigh again, "You guys are really lucky."
Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement. He also felt the same way. Although it was a broken motorcycle, it would be awesome if it could be repaired. The key is practicality.
Whether you are going to the town or the county seat, you will be there in a few minutes. If you have enough fuel, you can run to the city. This motorcycle is faster than a tractor.
Father Ye said cheerfully, "I'm going to call Lao Zhou. I don't know if he's at home. Anyway, I'm free today and have nothing to do. I'll call him over to take a look first, and we'll study together."
"Then go quickly."
Ye Yaodong can't wait to repair the motorcycle.
Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Secretary Chen whispered to Ye Yaodong: "The village chief agreed to the 56 and a half thing you mentioned a few days ago and said that he could sell you two handfuls, but he couldn't tell anyone else.
If you tell others, everyone will want it by then, and everyone he sells to will be a human being."
He was instantly pleasantly surprised.
"Damn it! I was just telling you why I kept dreaming about magpies chirping there last night. It turns out that all the good things happened today."
The village chief said seriously: "You can't tell others, otherwise everyone will come and ask me for it. Where can I get enough!"
"I understand, I understand, can you also give me two guns?"
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking aggressively, when they stared and were about to refuse, he immediately said: "There are many guns, and it is useless for you to leave them there anyway. How harmonious is our village? We have good neighborly relations with the surrounding villages.
Okay, just give me two more handfuls?"
"The main reason is that I have many ships. When I go out, I will have four ships. According to the equipment, I will need one from each ship, right? There are not many, so help people to the end, and send Buddha to the west?"
"
"You're willing to sell me two 56 and a half, so what's the point of two rustic guns? I don't want them for nothing, I paid for them, and I don't tell anyone."
The two of them looked at each other there, hesitating.
Ye Yaodong watched them and continued their efforts, "I am doing it for the safety of myself and a few ships. If this road goes smoothly, I can rush to Zhejiang Province every year when the time comes."
"Compared with what we earned during the cuttlefish season, the village chief should be able to imagine how much benefit this can bring to the village? Right? It's just two more guns."
Secretary Chen also helped and said: "Either approve it or leave it alone anyway. People are more important than things. That's what the leader said."
"Yes, things are dead but people are alive. We have to be flexible."
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the village committee to get it after get off work in the evening."
"Okay!" Ye Yaodong happily agreed, "How much is it?"
"56 and a half, one for 200, two for 400, plus a gun for 500, and I'll give you a few boxes of bullets."
The price is also reasonable, not expensive at all, and comes with a few boxes of ammunition.
"Okay, okay, thank you to the village chief and secretary for taking care of me. I won't tell anyone, but if someone thinks of it, it's none of my business."
"Well, that's all right. Let's go now."
"Okay, let's walk slowly."
After Ye Yaodong sent the person out, he rubbed his hands back and forth happily.
As soon as Father Ye brought Uncle Zhou over, he saw him looking like he had found a treasure. He thought he was happy about getting the motorcycle, so he also laughed.
"It's just this motorcycle with a shoulder strap. It's all deformed and has scratches everywhere. It's fine. As long as it can be driven, these are just minor problems. Please take a look at it..."
Ye Yaodong also came up to him, "One of the tires under the carriage also fell off. I picked up the tire. You can see if you can put it back on."
"Then I have to do some research. I haven't touched a motorcycle yet, and I don't know if it can be repaired. This is two different things from a tractor. I have to do some research."
Uncle Zhou's eyes were shining brightly, and he stared at the damaged motorcycle in the corner without blinking.
No man can resist the temptation of cold machinery, just like no child can resist the charm of a construction vehicle, and no woman can resist the beauty camera.
"It doesn't matter. You study slowly and you can cultivate whatever you can achieve."
"I'll try my best. I'll take a look first."
He put down the toolbox he had been carrying and got closer to the motorcycle to check for signs of damage first.
Ye Yaodong was also thinking that if Uncle Zhou couldn't repair it, he would see if he could take some time to go to the city in a few days.
Look for a major manufacturer that produces tractors and see if there are any masters who can hire one at a high price.
No matter what, you have to toss and toss first, what if you succeed?
Being successful means making a lot of money.
What does the loss of failure count in the face of success?
Since we didn’t go to sea today anyway, Ye Yaodong also accompanied us to help and study together. If you don’t understand anything, just ask.
After the children at home got up, they almost went crazy with joy when they saw an extra motorcycle in the yard and heard that it would belong to their family from now on.
"Dad, does this motorcycle really belong to our family?"
"Really? How come you become ours as soon as you wake up?"
"The wish I made really came true. I was making a wish last night. Dad earned so much money that he would also buy a motorcycle!" Ye Chengyang jumped up and down excitedly, not forgetting to take credit for himself.
"The ambition is not small! It turns out that it's all thanks to you, excellent!" Ye Yaodong smiled and patted his head.
"Hehe~"
"Dad, I also dreamed that you took us two and let us go for a ride in the sidecar. It was so majestic. I even played ball in the sidecar."
"You are quite good at dreaming too!"
Ye Chenghu felt that his father was complimenting him with these words, and he held his chin high, feeling extremely proud.
"Dad, why is this motorcycle broken?" Ye Chengyang squatted down curiously after getting over his excitement and stretched out his head to look.
"If this wasn't broken, it wouldn't be in our hands. It's because it's broken that I can ask for it."
Ye Chenghu instantly became worried again, and squatted down as well, "Can you fix it, dad?"
"I don't know, let's try it."
"It needs to be repaired, this is a motorcycle!"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him, "What do you want to say? If it can be repaired, will we deliberately not repair it and just use it as scrap metal? Go, go, go out and play for me, don't get in the way here."
"I'll just take a look..."
Lin Xiuqing came over, grabbed her two sons by the back collars, and moved them outside, "Go out and play. Don't delay your father and grandpa from repairing the car."
Ye Chengyang pounced on Ye Chenghu, snatched the basketball from his arms and ran away, "Brother, if you don't want to play, let me play..."
"Ah! Damn Ye Chengyang..."
Ye Chenghu was unprepared and he succeeded. He jumped up and down in anger and cursed without hesitation, forgetting that my mother was right next to him.
Lin Xiuqing grabbed his clothes and gave his butt two hard blows, "What the hell are you doing? Your mother is here. She will curse if she has a big butt, and her skin will be peeled off for you. Come here..."
Ye Chenghu was on the verge of crying but could only retreat as he was being dragged. He quickly explained while retreating, "Mom, I was wrong...it was Yangyang who stole my ball..."
"The good ones don't learn all day long, but the bad ones start saying "fuck you, f*ck you" at just a few years old. What does it look like?"
Lin Xiuqing dragged him to the door, picked up the whip placed on the window, and swung it at his calf twice. He could only jump like a monkey.
"Mom, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, don't hit me, it hurts, I won't curse anyone anymore...I won't curse anymore..."
"Dad scolds those who step on horses every day...fuck, f*ck..."
"You are still reasonable..."
Ye Yaodong suddenly said, "Won't you also scold those who step on horses? Damn it, damn it, won't your mother be angry?"
"Shut up!" Lin Xiuqing glared.
When teaching children, I am most afraid of pig teammates like this.
Ye Yaodong immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to say a word.
When Ye Chengyang saw that Ye Chenghu didn't chase him out, he hugged a ball and ran back in confusion. He stood at the door of the courtyard and stretched his head to take a peek, and then ran away again without sympathy.
The child next door ran away after eating with the ball in his arms. He didn't know that there was an extra motorcycle in Ye Yaodong's yard. He only found out after hearing Ye Chengyang's excited words.
Then, a large group of cheering children ran to the door of Ye Yaodong's house to look around, trying to make sure there was really a motorcycle.
"Wow! There really is a motorcycle!"
"It's true that there are motorcycles! Yangyang, is your father getting rich again?"
"Wow, Yangyang, your father is so capable. Does your family even have a motorcycle?"
"That's awesome, Yangyang, have you ever ridden a motorcycle?"
Ye Chengyang's face was flushed with joy and his eyes were bright, "Of course I have sat there, we took turns to sit there last night."
There were all kinds of compliments from everyone at the entrance of the courtyard, which made Ye Chenghu feel so uncomfortable when he was being beaten that he wanted to rush over and show off too.
Lin Xiuqing looked at his struggle and struck harder.
"Mom, there are so many people here, everyone is looking at our motorcycle, please let me go."
"Be honest, don't be so high-profile, don't show off everywhere. Everything in our family is earned by your father. It's your father who is capable, not you. You can feel proud, but you can't be complacent or look down on others.
Do you know?"
"I'm not looking down on anyone, mother."
"Then you should stop being so complacent and bossing others around. Two days ago, I saw you making a child squat down, jumping over his head yourself, and letting a group of people jump over his head."
"We were playing a game!"
"Whether you're playing games or not, I'm warning you. Just play, don't be complacent and think you're superior to others. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it."
Lin Xiuqing also saw that there were more and more big things in the house. Her children had everything they wanted, and they had everything others didn't have.
They have everything that the children in the city don't have, and now they have become the leader of the children in the village.
She was afraid that they would swell too much and they would not know what was going on from east to west or what their surname was. Children had poor quality and would easily grow crooked.
At this moment, there are so many children gathered around to watch the fun, and it is expected that they will be praised again later. Who is not vain, so he should be beaten more, so as to give this son a long memory.
Although they get more than other children, they cannot get less even if they are spanked.
It seems that there is not much material shortage, so we can only give them more and let them know about the suffering of the people.
Although adults are also vain, their character has been determined for a long time. Although they will be affected, they will not be as easy to grow crooked as children.
"Mom, I don't show off, I just play with them, and I won't instruct others... I will be obedient... I just play, I don't curse or order others..."
After Ye Chenghu made various promises and burst into tears, Lin Xiuqing let him go.
The old lady held Ye Xiaoxi's eyes wide by the side and just looked at her without saying a word. After Lin Xiuqing finished beating her, she said to Ye Xiaoxi with a smile: "Brother will be beaten if he doesn't behave. You must be good and obedient."
"
She covered her butt with one hand and nodded heavily.
Ye Yaodong was annoyed by the nephews and nieces around him. They were all asking about when the motorcycle would be repaired.
He quickly drove everyone out and locked the yard.
"They are in the way, but fortunately there is a yard that can keep them out."
"Is it easy to repair?" Lin Xiuqing asked.
"Uncle Zhou said that we need to study it. After all, he has never repaired a motorcycle. Let's repair the simple dents first, and then study the other difficult ones later."
"That's fine. Do the easy things first, and the hard things later."
Ye Yaodong turned around and continued working, helping to pass tools and knocking together.
"Aren't you going to develop the photos?"
"Ah, yes, I went, but I almost forgot. I have to send the photos to be developed first."
"You should go by bike early in the morning, while the sun is not so strong in the morning, otherwise it will be too hot later. Anyway, just send the film there and come back, and pick it up in two days."
"Well, I'll go right away. Does Uncle Zhou need any tools or accessories? I'll buy them from the town by the way."
Uncle Zhou said without raising his head: "Not yet. I have all the tools here. I will tell you when I need them."
"Dad, please help here. I'll be back in a while."
Father Ye nodded, "You are busy with your business, I am here."
Ye Yaodong ran back to the house and took the camera with him, hanging it around his neck. He was afraid that if he took out the film directly, there would be fingerprints or other things touching the film, which would not be good if it would not be clear when it was washed out, so he had better take it with him in one piece.
Pick it up when the place is available.
He pushed his bicycle out, planning to go back quickly.
However, what surprised him was that he met Hong Wenle while developing photos.
I feel like I haven’t seen this young master for a long time. Thinking about the last time I saw him, it seems that when I saw him, I went to the market to buy Angong Niuhuang Pills.
When I greeted him, he was stunned for a moment.
"Ah? Ah! You were a fish seller before!" Hong Wenle was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I am a fish seller and a fisherman."
"Are you still fishing now?"
"Let's fight, I just rely on this to make ends meet."
"Oh, I see you're doing well. You even have a camera."
"So-so, this is actually not expensive, it's just that most people can't bear to part with it."
He nodded and said nothing.
But Ye Yaodong's heart moved, "Ah, Mr. Hong, let me ask, where did you buy that motorcycle?"
"What? You want to buy it?"
"I'm joking. Even if I sell it, I can't even buy a tire. I just think your motorcycle is so majestic and handsome. Why haven't you ridden it today?"
"How do you ride on this street? It's so early in the morning, there are more people than ants, so the car can only drive on a deserted road."
"Where did you buy your car? It looks so domineering."
"Haha, they are sold in the province, but not in our city."
"oh oh."
Hong Wenle was no longer planning to speak, but something suddenly occurred to him and he turned around and asked: "Hey, by the way, I heard someone said that a basking shark was stranded in a village near you yesterday. Is it true or not? It was for
The big shot took him away, is it true?"
"Did it spread so quickly? Early in the morning, everyone in the town knew about it?"
"I heard from the shopkeeper that if I could buy shark fins made from the fins of that old shark, it would be so classy to put in the shop."
"Maybe not. It was taken away by the Maritime Safety Administration and said to be sent to the provincial research institute. When the research is completed, it will be sent to the museum."
"Oh! It's such a waste of money. You still use such a good thing for research. Do they know the stuff? How do you know?"
Ye Yaodong touched his nose, "Because it was stranded in our village."
Hong Wenle glared, "stranded in your village, why don't you come and notify me?"
"I didn't discover this first..."
"There's no need to donate it. Damn it, it's such a waste."
"You can't say that. Being able to provide research value to scientific research is also a collective honor."
He sneered and looked Ye Yaodong up and down, "You are quite enlightened."
"It's not me. Shouldn't the village committee make decisions on collective assets? It's the village committee's high consciousness, not me. I'd rather sell them for money. I'd cut off all the fins and send them to you. Next time I
If I find such a big fish again, I will definitely ask you to sell it at a good price."
This is also what he thinks in his heart. If you can sell it for money, who is stupid enough to donate it?
"It's a pity. It's probably that a group of basking sharks passed by during the day before yesterday, and then one accidentally stranded that night. At that time, we were still guessing what kind of shark the large group of big fish that passed by were."
"One of them was stranded in that wave, because two boats appeared at that time, one of which was mine, and those basking sharks were right next to me..."
Ye Yaodong started bragging again and talked about what happened that day, which made Hong Wenle's eyes pop out in shock, and the owner of the photo studio opened his mouth.
None of them saw with their own eyes the scene of a group of basking sharks passing by the town's pier that day, and they only heard about it through hearsay. Now that someone involved is retelling it, it seems a bit fantasy.
"If you don't believe it, you will know after developing these photos. Fortunately, I brought a camera with me and took several pictures on the boat..."
"real?"
"Of course, why are you lying to me?"
"Then wash, wash a few more pictures. How many copies did you just wash? Two copies, right? Wash 5 more copies for me, and wash 5 more pictures for each photo. I will pay for all the money to develop the photos, including
Your 2 portions.”
Huh? And this unexpected surprise?
Tell a story and get free!
Ye Yaodong was happy. The free money could be used as a private house. There were several yuan, enough for him to smoke and buy snacks for his children.
Moreover, some of the five photos developed were portraits he had taken before, as well as scenes of Mazu. These useless ones could probably be given to him again and he could get a few more white photos.
When the time comes, the many photos and related ones may be donated to Mazu Temple and preserved, which will also serve as the glorious history of their Thean Hou Temple in the future.
Hong Wenle was very curious about what happened that day, so he asked him a lot more questions, including how he was taken away yesterday, and asked him in detail.
After Ye Yaodong thought happily, he also said everything he knew.
There was nothing he couldn't say about this. He retold a story about what he saw and heard in the past two days, told them about it, and asked them to listen to the original version.
"This is too exciting for you..." Hong Wenle sounded a little yearning.
"Who says it's not?"
"When will I go fishing with you? Give it a try and see if you can encounter such a big fish. You have encountered big fish several times, so the probability is quite high."
"Don't be kidding...you are the eldest young master...you can't do the work of a fisherman, and it's not suitable to experience it. Going to sea is risky, it's not a joke."
"It's quite exciting to hear what you said. It's not like I've never been to the sea. When I was overseas, I occasionally went fishing on a yacht with my friends."
"No, fishing is actually very boring and tiring."
"Then, let me go fishing with you sometime, or you can fish and I can fish. I'll come back in a few hours and I'll give you a fishing rod!"
Now it was Ye Yaodong's turn to glare.
"Are you kidding me? I've seen your fishing rods before. They're all made in Taiwan. They're so expensive."
"What does it matter? Just tell me whether you want to go or not?"
"I can go with you, but you can't go with me."
"Why?"
"Because if you go with me, you will be my responsibility. If I go with you, you have to be responsible for my safety. There is a big difference here. I cannot be responsible for you."
Chapter completed!
