With her face flushed, she stretched out her hand to grab it, and even let out a full wine burp.

Ye Yaodong quickly held her on his lap to prevent her from falling to the ground when she was drunk.

She also looked at the wine in the bowl and wondered how much she had drunk.

When Father Ye heard their movements, he turned around and laughed.

"You even stole some wine? Is it good?"

“Delicious~sweet~”

The adults present also laughed.

"Yes, rice wine is sweet."

"The rice wine is sweeter after it's heated..."

"Children can't drink randomly. Give her a few sips of water and put her in the room to sleep."

"This girl eats everything, even if she doesn't eat anything, and even steals wine..."

The old lady smiled and shook her head. She went to pick up the water bottle and poured her a small bowl of boiling water. She also took an extra bowl and poured the two bowls back and forth to cool them faster.

When Lin Xiuqing came out after hearing the commotion, she found out that Ye Xiaoxi had stolen some wine and didn't know how much she drank. Her face turned red and she couldn't help but glare at Ye Yaodong complainingly.

"It's not all you. Every time I drink, I dip my chopsticks in it and give it to her to lick. She thinks it's some good thing. You've taught me bad things."

Ye Yaodong held the child with an innocent look on his face, "I was just teasing her, but who knew she would drink secretly while the adults weren't paying attention."

"Seeing that you drink it every day and give her a taste from time to time, doesn't she just think it's something good? The color is beautiful and red, so she immediately remembers it in her heart."

"It's okay, it's okay. The rice wine is sweet and the alcohol content is not high. She probably didn't drink a lot. Seeing as she is still so energetic, come on, just drink a few more sips of boiled water." The old lady quickly handed over the boiled water.

Lin Xiuqing fed her some boiled water and took two sips. Unexpectedly, she spit it out and kept shaking her head, "It doesn't taste good!"

"Be good, you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it."

Ye Xiaoxi kept shaking his head, and stood up, hugged Ye Yaodong's neck, pointed to the bowl in front of him, "I want to introduce you to something sweet~"

"This is wine. Children can't drink it. If they drink it, they will become stupid." Ye Yaodong said with a helpless face, unable to laugh or cry.

"I want to introduce you~ I want to introduce you~"

Everyone in the room also watched her performance while standing on Ye Yaodong's lap and jumping up and down.

"Haha, this kid will definitely have a good drinking capacity in the future."

"It looks like I have to hide the wine at home better from now on."

"My son secretly ate bayberries in the bayberry wine made at home last summer and even swallowed the seeds. No one knew it, but they still found him sleeping on the floor with a red face in the middle of the day. They wanted to take him back to bed.

I just smelled a mouthful of alcohol."

"Haha, that's how children are. If they sleep at night, they'll be fine when they wake up tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing saw that she didn't drink water, so she stopped feeding her to avoid spreading it everywhere. After putting down the bowl, she took her away and carried her back to the house. There were a lot of adults talking there, so she didn't have to make a fuss in the main room.

Without the noisy Ye Xiaoxi, the adults in the room chatted more happily.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock that everyone dispersed one after another, thinking that they would have to go to sea at night or have to work tomorrow, so they had to go to bed early.

When Ye Yaodong was chatting with everyone, he asked him how much he had earned during this trip. He did not honestly tell them directly that he had earned four or five thousand, he just said that the accounts had not been settled yet.

My brothers can talk about it, but outsiders can forget about it.

After sending everyone away, he stretched himself greatly.

"Everyone is so enthusiastic. As soon as I came back from a trip to the sea, they all came to my door."

Ye Mu had just finished her work in the workshop, and after closing the door, she came over to join in, raising the corners of her mouth so high that she still can't suppress it now.

"It's not that you are different now. In the afternoon, your parents came back with a lot of goods. After pulling the cart more than a dozen times, they couldn't finish it. Most of the people in the village came to our workshop to watch the fun, and everyone returned the goods.

Help me enthusiastically and give me your name."

"Oh, yes. When I came back, I was surrounded by everyone before I finished my meal. I didn't ask how much the goods Uncle Pei brought back in the afternoon weighed."

"Those groceries were not weighed. The toad fish weighed 9,658 kilograms, the balang fish weighed 4,220 kilograms, and the dragonhead fish weighed 2,100 kilograms. It's so late today. You can go over and calculate the accounts tomorrow. There are other things.

The groceries weighed several hundred kilograms, and the weighing list was in Aqina, and she put it away."

"I know, let's go into the house and ask her later."

Mother Ye was still smiling as usual, "I invited ten people to come over to kill the fish in the afternoon, and the more than 10,000 kilograms of fish were not missing much. In the evening, you sent more than 10,000 kilograms back. I will probably call in another 20 people to kill them tomorrow.

.”

"Just now at the entrance of the workshop, a bunch of people came over to ask for work, telling me that if I need help, I must call them tomorrow. Some even brought me a basket of oranges, some brought a handful of plantains, and some

I hugged two grapefruits, it was really hilarious, I just left them at the door for you when I came here."

Ye Yaodong chuckled twice, still like this...

"See for yourself. You can't let the fish stink. Please hire a few more people to kill it and dry it in the next two or three days."

"I know this. You brought back those small shrimps and asked the two boys guarding the door to cook them over the fire at night. What you brought back this time is almost the same, they are all fish. Tomorrow, you can dump all those small miscellaneous fishes.

Fermentation occurs in large vats. Killing the fish is a little more laborious and requires more people. Those toad fish are not as slippery and slimy as other fish, so they are not that easy to kill."

"Well, call a few more people. It will take a lot of manpower to clean and dry it."

"There are several of your sisters-in-law and cousins ​​who are cleaning and drying. Those who are close to me don't need to call me, they all come to find work on their own. I asked Ah Qing to count all the time and pay them the same salary when the time comes. What do you think?

There is really a lot of goods brought back in one trip. It is more cost-effective to bring it back by trawling the net yourself, and you don’t have to spend money to buy it..."

The old lady interrupted Ye Mu's chatter, "Don't worry about it for now. Let him take a bath and go to bed early. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. I have been tired for several days. When I came back, there were still a lot of people around me."

I kept talking all night without checking what time it was, and kept talking..."

"Ah, okay, okay, then you take a shower first and go to bed early. Your father also needs to go back to bed early. If you have anything to say, wait until you wake up tomorrow to talk about it, or I can ask your father when you get back."

After Father Ye drank the remaining wine in the bowl on the table, he stood up unsteadily, "The folks are so enthusiastic. There were so many people running over."

"It's not just that we brought back so many goods from this trip. After everyone heard that the fish in our workshop were piled up like a mountain, they all came over to take a look. In the evening, Dongzi brought another boatload.

When we come back, not all of them are here to watch the fun and inquire, they all want to ask how much we caught on this trip."

"The main reason is that the two workshops are so big and conspicuous. Dongzi is now a famous celebrity from all over the country... he has a long face..."

"Yes, yes, you have a long face. If you drink too much horse urine, go back quickly. Just keep talking, and drink the wine one by one. I can't help you. You can crawl back by yourself later..."

"Then I'll sleep here..."

"Sleep where you want. Now that there is a building here, you don't want to go back to sleep in a shabby house, right?"

"Wait... wait for me... I... I'll just say this... flashlight... flashlight... shine it, shine it..."

After the two old men's voices became farther and farther away, the old lady shook her head and said, "Look at how happy they are. They can't even stand upright when they walk. Tomorrow they will be like crabs, walking sideways."

"Isn't this making money? You should be happy. Are you not happy that I have made money?"

The old lady smiled and said: "I'm happy, of course I'm happy. It's the Chinese New Year, and my house is even more lively than the Chinese New Year. There will definitely be more people coming and going in the future."

"Of course, I will be successful in a few years and earn more and more money. Then I will give you a glorious ninetieth birthday, and more people will come and go."

The old lady smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "Hey, okay, okay, then I'll wait."

"You go to bed, I'll take a shower, and I'll turn off the lights and the door later."

"Are you hungry? I'll stew some eggs for you to replenish your appetite. After you take a shower, you can eat them and go to bed."

The old lady was still worried that the eggs hadn't been stewed for him yet. There were a lot of people in the room just now, and even people were sitting in front of the stove, so she couldn't go back and forth to work.

"Didn't we just finish our meal? No, we agreed to kill the chicken tomorrow and eat the chicken tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow is tomorrow. It's been several hours since I finished eating. Let's eat eggs first in the evening. You can take a shower and eat afterward."

The old lady didn't care what he said, and went to take down a basket hanging on the wall, and then took out five eggs from it.

"You don't need five, just two. Eat whatever you want."

"Two? What can we eat for two? You are so tall, you must eat more to feel full."

"Then let's have three. Just leave two to hatch the chicks. I love eating chickens."

"I haven't had a nest yet. I won't worry if I save up for a few days. If it's not enough, I can go to the next door to get some."

The old man becomes stubborn when he gets old and only does what he believes in. Ye Yaodong didn't say much, just let her get a basin, pour hot water and prepare to take a bath first.

At this time, two figures ran in from outside the door.

"When did you run out? Ye Chenghu, didn't you go back to your room to do your homework at night?"

"How can I do my homework if you are so noisy? I will do it tomorrow. Let's go to bed."

Ye Yaodong looked at the two figures and suddenly walked over. Then the stairs were stepped on and the door was slammed shut.

"These two brats, if I had known earlier, I would have closed the courtyard door and locked them out. They are busier than me day by day."

"If you don't want to study, I'll work for you when you learn a few words. Ah Hai is already old enough to work for you."

"We'll wait until he finishes junior high school."

There was no telling in the room whether Ye Xiaoxi had slept or not. Ye Yaodong took the bath water and simply went to the room downstairs where the two children used to wash. It was too cold to wash in the main room, and the front and back doors were open to let out air.
