Lin Xiuqing had already dug out the cloth bag when she was packing his luggage. Knowing that there was money inside, she didn't open it in front of everyone.

It’s better not to expose money, especially in front of outsiders.

Although this bag looks like a small amount of money, there are not many people who can easily take out thousands of dollars now.

She counted 300 yuan and gave it to Ye's mother, and asked Ye Yaodong, "Why is it so little? There seems to be only one or two thousand yuan left here."

"I paid two to three thousand as salary, and brought back a batch of lighters, so there is less. When I take the time tomorrow to transport this batch of lighters to the city and sell them, I can cash them in again."

"Are they easy to sell? How much did you pay for those lighters? It seems like a lot."

"Well, you should collect the rest of the money first."

Lin Xiuqing saw that he didn't mean to say anything, so she didn't ask any more questions. She planned to wait until she returned to her room and talk about it carefully then.

Mother Ye took 300 yuan in her hand and finished counting it.

"Although the salary is 4.5 yuan a day, it still doesn't cost 300 yuan in a month and a half. It's too much, so I'll give you 100 yuan and let Ah Qing keep it."

"No need, dad is not someone else. I originally planned to give more."

"No, it's not necessary. We are eating and drinking at your house now. There is no other place to spend money. I still have a salary, and he also has a salary. We can't spend all the money at all, and there is no need to give more. No matter how much you pay, it doesn't matter.

Just give him the math."

Ye Mu drew a large number of 10 cards and handed them directly to Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing pushed it over again, "Take it, mother, it all depends on father's help, otherwise how can A Dong do all the work on his own? How can outsiders be as reliable as their own father, so it's right to give him more."

"No, give us the extra. When we get old, we will share it with you. It's all from you, so keep it. No matter how much you give us, we have no place to spend it. The money we have now is enough

We are taking care of ourselves.”

Although Mother Ye usually likes to show off and save face, talks a lot, and has a bad temper, she has a clear mind and is not a fool.

The old lady also had a smile on her face. Mother Ye spoke from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, they are all eating from you and drinking from you. If you give them so much money, they have no place to spend it. You might as well keep it. Dongzi's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no place to spend money.

There is still a lot of money, what can the two old people spend?"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at Ye Yaodong who was silent, then smiled and put the money away.

"Okay, I'll put it away first. Anyway, my parents are eating and drinking with us now, and we will definitely support you in your old age in the future."

"It won't be a problem for the two of us to support ourselves in the future."

Father Ye interrupted, "Okay, I got my salary and luggage and went back. Let's go back and have a rest. I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep much on the boat."

"Remember to come over for dinner later. It's late today. I only have enough time to stew a chicken. Let's stew the duck with herbs tomorrow night. I'll also give you two a good tonic. You guys are so skinny and dark.

My eyes are blue, go back to the house and lie down to sleep..."

Father Ye glanced at the old lady who didn't even raise her eyes to look at him. Although she told him to come over for dinner in the evening and kill the chicken for nourishment, he kept smiling at Ye Yaodong and pushed him into the house.

He shook his head and followed Ye Mu back first.

Ye Yaodong stood motionless, saying only that he needed to take a shower first.

Lin Xiuqing saw that everyone had left, except for the old lady and Ye Xiaoxi, and then she asked him.

"You said before that it was because you were arrested again this time, so you came back immediately after being released..."

"What? What... what got caught?" The old lady looked at Lin Xiuqing in astonishment.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at the old lady, did not answer, and continued to ask: "What's the reason? There were so many people just now, and dad kept hiding him, but now there are no outsiders."

"Fang Jingfu's workshop workers exceeded the limit. They didn't know whether the limit was 5 or 8, but there were thirty or forty people in his workshop, which was seriously over the limit. People who were staring at him reported him for engaging in capitalism. The weather happened to be bad that day. Everyone

They didn’t even go to sea, so they just helped assemble them in the workshop to earn wages, and then they were all picked up together.”

The old lady quickly touched his arm and groped up and down, "Caught again? Oops, what happened this year? Why do you two always have this happen to you? Is that okay? Have you suffered any hardships in there? This is also true.

It’s so unlucky. I told you that there should be a brazier at home to collapse when you come in..."

"I'm fine. I didn't go in. Everyone was caught. I didn't go in..."

"Is it because of your status as President Ye?"

Ye Yaodong was very proud, "It's almost half of this reason, plus I really didn't participate. The workshop was rented to him, not my workshop."

When the old lady heard that he was fine and had not been arrested, she was relieved. At the same time, she stabbed the ground heavily with her crutch and said angrily.

"I just said that when I asked you a question at the door, your father just replied in so many words. It turned out that he had something secret in his heart, so he didn't dare to let me ask, and he kept talking back."

"I'm so promising. I really thought it was because I talked too much. I was afraid that it would be too hard for him to come back and annoy him. I didn't dare to ask more questions or nag in front of you."

"The old guy was afraid of being embarrassed, so he didn't mention a word when he came back. He got angry when others mentioned it, and even yelled at me."

He coughed dryly and said, "This is the second time that my father is so proud. Of course I don't want to say it. It's not an honorable thing at my age. This matter is nothing anyway. I have been implicated and I am not here."

He spent the night inside. He caught it in the morning and released it in the evening, so don’t mention it and just uncover it.”

"So many people have been arrested. Why don't you tell your family when you come back? The whole village will know about it tomorrow."

"Then at least if they talk about it behind the scenes, he can pretend that he doesn't know. After all, he is Chairman Ye's father when he goes out, so he doesn't have to expose his fig leaf like this."

The old lady shook her head, "It's up to you to give him a good face, otherwise he wouldn't be as good as he is now. It's windy when the couple goes out and they probably won't be able to reach home for a long time, and they have to turn back for dinner halfway."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh, "Although it was mostly Adong who earned face for my parents, my father also suffered because of Adong. Otherwise, how could he have been in the police if he had lived to this age in his life?

Bureau."

"Fortunately, Dongzi earned another official position this time and came back to give him face. Otherwise, he would have lost face when he walked out."

"There's nothing embarrassing about this. It's just asking for questioning. It's normal. It's the second time. It's familiar once and it's familiar again. It's nothing."

If you wait too many times, won’t it be like your own vegetable patch?

When I come back, I can brag about how many times I have been in and out of the public security bureau...

He didn't dare to say these two sentences. No matter how much the old lady loved him, she would give him a stick.

But as long as he didn't break the law, it doesn't matter if he's caught. At most, if he asks a question, if it matters, he can be released casually.

"What happens once is born twice, and it can be applied here? That's nonsense." The old lady glared at him angrily, and then said with a smile, "You two talk first, I will go to the room to light up the incense.

I burn three sticks of incense in the morning and evening. The evening incense has not yet been put on, so I can tell the Bodhisattva something. After I have finished speaking to the Bodhisattva, I have to go to the Mazu Temple and speak to Mazu."

"You believe so much."

"There is no conflict. The more you believe, the more gods and Buddhas will bless you. You will have to kill the chicken later, so burn the incense first, otherwise it will be stained with blood later." The old lady said as she went into the house.

.

Ye Yaodong also went to fetch water and took a bath first. He would talk slowly after taking a bath later. He had not yet found out about the family affairs.

Ye Xiaoxi also ran into the house holding her toys, planning to hide them.

Lin Xiuqing first threw his dirty clothes into the basin, put away the password box, and then came out to clean up the dishes and continue preparing dinner.

The lively commotion in the family just ended, but it became quiet for a while. After the two children, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, ran back, the house became lively again.

As soon as the two children entered the village, they knew that their father was back and they were immediately excited. However, Ye Chengyang had to chase sheep and had no way to run. They could only watch Ye Chenghu disappear.

Before Ye Chenghu came home, he was already running and shouting at the door, "Dad, dad..."

As soon as he ran into the house, the military green hat he was wearing fell to the ground.

"Dad, you are finally back!"

"Where did the hat come from? It fell to the ground. Pick it up quickly."

"Dad, when did you come back?" he said as his eyes wandered around, looking for him all over the house.

"Just got back."

"Dad, have you bought me a gift?"

Ye Xiaoxi immediately poked his head out of the room and shouted loudly: "No!"

"How is it possible? Did you take everything?" Ye Chenghu didn't even have time to put down his satchel, so he immediately ran to the master bedroom?

"Sister, what did dad buy? Tell me, let's not tell Yangyang..."

Poor Ye Chengyang was still driving the sheep on the way, feeling very anxious.

After finally running back, I started crying even before I wiped off the sweat.

"Woo woo woo, I don't want to herd sheep, I don't want to herd sheep..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him standing at the door and cried loudly. He hadn't seen him for a long time, and was overflowing with rare fatherly love. He went over to hold his hand and walked into the house.

"Why are you crying?"

"I drove the sheep to school to wait for my brother to finish school, but when he heard you came back, he immediately left me and ran away. I don't want to herd the sheep anymore."

As he cried, he wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

Ye Yaodong cried so pitifully that he felt distressed again and took 5 cents out of his pocket and handed it to him.

"Stop crying, go buy some sweets later and don't share them with your brother."

Ye Chengyang took the coin and stopped crying.
