Ye Yaodong finally realized that raising a daughter was more troublesome than raising a son.
She wants everything she sees, she cries when she is scolded, and reluctant to give up when she is beaten. In the end, she can only let her go home with a smile and a full load.
Then, he couldn't bear to do anything to her. When he got home, her mother would ask him what to do with him.
"Why did you buy so much? Did you move a whole stall back?"
Ye Yaodong was also very innocent. Ye Xiaoxi pointed at this request, pointed at that request, and asked for nothing less. If he objected, he would say loudly, "You promised, you promised," and there was nothing that could harm him.
This also gave him a memory and he could not promise his children haphazardly.
I really remember it so well.
If you backhand yourself, you will screw yourself up.
And since he was still young and ignorant, he was the only one who got scolded.
Even if he is a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, he still wants to struggle to the death.
Ye Yaodong pointed at Ye Xiaoxi and said indignantly: "You scold her. Whatever she wants, it's none of my business. It's all what she wants."
Ye Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at him with confusion, then turned to see her mother glaring at her fiercely. She quickly hid in the old lady's place, and softly called out in a low voice, "Auntie..."
"I bought it as soon as I bought it... I just happened to be knitting a sweater for A Dong. It's getting cold. I need a few more clothes to change when working on the boat. Otherwise, I'll get wet all the time and I'll catch a cold when the weather gets cold."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but hold her forehead. From old to young, she didn't worry about anything, she only thought about what she wanted to think about.
"You don't even care how much you buy. If she wants you to buy it, will you eat shit if she asks you to?"
"I'll give it to you, but I won't eat it."
She was so angry that she slapped him hard twice, which made her speechless.
Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders and carried it, "Okay, buy it all, buy it all."
"You weave."
"I can't, what would I need you to do if I could?"
"Then you still buy so much."
"I told you, she wants it."
"You can't buy so much. How many kilograms do you have? There are dozens of bundles here, in various colors, weighing at least more than ten kilograms. A normal adult can knit a piece of clothing at two kilograms, but a child can weigh it.
One more kilogram, I only weigh one and a half kilograms, and you can only weigh two kilograms at most."
"Then let's knit a few more pieces. Haha, we can arrange it for the whole family. It's cold in winter, so it's just the right time for the whole family to arrange it... If you have money, you can't treat yourself badly. There are two pieces for each adult in the family. If you add children, it's almost the same. It's not much.
"It's not much at all, maybe it's not enough. My daughter calculated it just right." Ye Yaodong said flatteringly.
Lin Xiuqing was furious, "Isn't it enough? Have I finished knitting? Can you still get a new sweater every year?"
"You have to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. There are many people in the family, so I will start knitting from now on. Everyone will have new sweaters to wear during the Chinese New Year, right? No problem, just do it this way. Let the old and the young do it for you later.
I’ll roll all these yarns into balls for you to make it easier for you to weave.”
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly shouted: "I don't want mother, I want the sweater knitted by father."
Ye Yaodong rarely glared at her, "Shut up, I'll beat you up if I keep nagging you."
"I'm going to make you mad to death. You are so careless when buying something. Rainbow sweaters, rainbow sweaters all day long..."
After Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she pointed at Ye Xiaoxi and said, "Come here and clean up the work yourself."
Ye Xiaoxi lingered but didn't move, looking at this and that, still hiding behind the old lady.
The old lady smiled and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. How can she do it? I have to wait until she is older."
Ye Yaodong quickly took the opportunity to sneak out.
When he ran to the yard, he still heard Lin Xiuqing nagging, "He ran away again in the blink of an eye. When he knew he had done something wrong, he ran away first. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked... The two little ones..."
He quickened his pace and what was said behind him could not be heard clearly.
I also felt relieved.
It wasn’t a matter of money, it seemed like I had bought too much. After weighing and loading the basket, Ye Xiaoxi grabbed a lot more, and then there were more after weighing.
It’s impossible not to do it, because after being carried around by her, some of them would become dirty when dropped on the floor, or they would be a little messy and uneven due to her little hands, so I could only recognize them by pinching my nose.
Fortunately, he was clever behind the scenes and stuck the person between his legs while paying, otherwise someone who didn't pay attention would have been harmed by her again.
I won’t take it out next time.
He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was only after 9 o'clock.
I got up early in the morning and went to the town to buy wool. It didn't take much effort to ride a bicycle back and forth. Now that I have some free time, I just happened to go to the village committee to have a look.
However, most people work from early to late, so it was too late when he went there at this time. They had already gone to work at sea and had not returned yet, so he had to wait until lunch time to follow them.
Fortunately, it is autumn now, and the recent typhoon has not passed yet. Although it has not been affected, the sun is not that strong, and it is quite cool.
While he was waiting for the afternoon, he followed the workers invited by the village committee and two people in the village who were responsible for learning to cultivate kelp, and they all rowed a small boat to visit the offshore base.
In the past few days, I didn’t dare to plant seedlings because of the typhoon. I just prepared in advance and waited for the typhoon to pass before planting seedlings. It only took two or three days for the sea to be ready.
Nowadays, there are no ready-made seedlings, so you have to take the seedlings and cultivate them by yourself first, grow them to a length of more than ten centimeters, then divide them and clip them on the rope.
It is best to clip the seedlings about 15 cm long. After dividing the seedlings into equal parts and clipping the seedlings, all you need to do is manage them.
For example, the seedling rope needs to float on the sea surface and cannot sink into the depths of the sea. Otherwise, without sunlight, the roots will rot and cannot grow.
There are no other special circumstances, and there is no need to do other tedious things. The most troublesome thing is the preliminary work.
Then we can start harvesting in April and May of next year. One acre of kelp can yield about 5,000 kilograms. In good times, the yield can be even higher.
Ye Yaodong took a look and found that in the first year of this year, there were not many tests, so the village committee took an offshore base of about ten acres for the first test.
Doing a little bit first can also reduce risks. After all, you don't expect to make money at the beginning, as long as you can successfully raise it.
He also helped with work at sea. It was two hours after he returned from the sea. He didn't have the strength to go home. He also discussed it with everyone at the village committee.
After going to the sea to take a look, he knew what he was doing and could plant seedlings immediately. After the seedlings were established, he divided them and clipped them very quickly.
In the next two days, he was idle at home, watching the sea surface was calm, and he also participated in planting seedlings.
Even his father became curious and went to take a look.
Father Ye lamented that if the breeding could be successful, the whole village would be able to gain an additional income, and they would not all have to go out to do odd jobs, or just rely on a small amount of money to make ends meet.
Everyone can participate in farming together, and they can also gain another skill to make a living, and the whole village can make money along the way.
After all, there are only a small number of people who have easy money now, and most of them are still living a difficult life, and they are still just on the line of food and clothing.
Moreover, many wealthy families who are now living a better life have benefited from Ye Yaodong.
In the past few years, he has rented out more than a dozen boats off and on, and also hired a lot of boatmen. For example, when traveling to Zhejiang Province, he hired dozens of people at every turn, and all the boats were resold.
Some women working in the workshops can also earn some money to support their families.
It also stimulated the enthusiasm of fishermen in some villages to buy boats.
Nowadays, most people would rather owe money than build a boat, hoping that like Ye Yaodong, they can gradually accumulate wealth and become rich.
After there are more ships, the amount of goods received by Ah Cai and the others at the dock also increases, and naturally they make more money.
Although there are not as many fishing boats in their village as there are in the town, they should not be underestimated. The sum of the nearby villages does not have as many boats as theirs.
When he stood in front of his house and looked at the pier, he could see the beautiful scenery. The fishing boats were parked on the pier and rippling in the wind. They used to be just a few scattered boats, but now they look much more spectacular.
"Whether it will be successful or not depends on next year. It is a bit early to say this now. If it is successful, of course the whole village will benefit."
"I hope it will work. When our village is engaged in large-scale breeding, the level of all villagers in the village will be improved, and it will become a wealthy village in eight villages. Then we will definitely be rated as a model, and that will be glorious."
"Stop talking about these things. It has nothing to do with you anyway. You don't need to do these things. You just need to help me sail the boat. I am too old to go to sea. You can still show me the workshop."
Father Ye nodded cheerfully, "That's good. Then I'll show you the workshop and sit at the door to bask in the sun."
"Go back and prepare, and tell your uncle and uncle that we will sail to the provincial capital tomorrow morning."
"What time is it?"
"Four o'clock, right? Go earlier, go earlier, arrive earlier."
"Alright."
He wanted to arrive early and talk to Lao Hai about the machine, but he didn't know if he would go back early.
It is very likely that they will miss out when they arrive tomorrow, and they will have to ask for directions along the way.
Thinking of this, he thought it would be best to go to the village committee and make a phone call first to make people wait.
"Let's tentatively decide on this time. I'll go to the village committee and make a call to ask. It's best to agree on a time to go with Lao Hai. This way we can have someone to guide us, and we don't have to waste time asking around."
"That's best, go quickly."
"I don't know if it will be too late. Maybe they will leave early."
"Let me ask first. After all, I am a junior. I have nothing to do and there is no need to go so early."
Ye Yaodong responded and went to the village committee again.
Fortunately, he called in time. Originally, they planned to go home at noon tomorrow, but now they made an appointment with him to leave together when they arrived. It would be about 2 p.m., which is not too late.
Ye Yaohai immediately responded and waited for them.
After he came out of the village committee, he ran to the old house to talk to his father before going home to prepare.
Lin Xiuqing listened to his instructions and knew that she was going to go for several days, so she took out all the clothes for him and put them in the suitcase.
When Ye Yaodong looked through it, he was extremely satisfied. They were all newly made. He didn't know when she had made so many pieces.
"That's so thoughtful. When did you make so many new clothes?"
"It would be strange to know when you are not at home."
"Then you didn't ask me to try it when I came back."
"You are not at home all day long, and you don't see anyone except eating and sleeping. I am also very busy. These clothes have been made a long time ago. I knew you were going to worship your ancestors two or three months ago, so I bought them for you.
I picked up the fabric and made new clothes. As time went by, I forgot about them. Anyway, I compared them with your old clothes and there is no difference, so I don’t need to ask you to try them on."
"Okay, take out one set to wear tomorrow and put the others away."
"I've already taken out what I need to wear and put it on the table."
He turned around and saw that there was a neatly stacked set on the table.
"You do so much?"
"No, this one looks newer than your old one. Anyway, we are only going to the provincial capital tomorrow. Half of the way is on the sea, and the other half of the way has to be taken by car. It must be dirty. You can just wear new clothes the day after tomorrow.
.”
"I just said how could you make me so many new clothes? It turns out there are only two sets."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "Don't you know anything about it? What's the difference between the clothes you wear every day and those you wear at work? You've been wearing these clothes to the sea, how can you wear any clothes to show off to others?"
"It's good to give you these two sets. If you don't wear them tomorrow, you'll go to the sea in them."
"If I weren't afraid that you would be embarrassed when you went out to meet people without decent clothes, I wouldn't do it for you."
"You can do whatever you want at home. Of course you have to be dignified when you go out, let alone such a big event as ancestor worship."
Ye Yaodong saw her crackling a lot and didn't care what she said, he just nodded anyway.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
"I've polished your leather shoes, wrapped them in cloth and put them in your suitcase. You can wear them the day after tomorrow. You'd better wear Jiefang shoes tomorrow instead of rain boots."
"I know, although I'm taking a boat, I'm not fishing, so I don't need to wear rain boots. Wearing rain boots is too smelly."
"Um."
After the matter was finished, he leaned his head towards me and praised shamelessly, "My wife is so considerate and virtuous."
"go……"
He chuckled.
When he went to the dock early the next morning, his father was already there, but half of the people hadn't arrived yet, so they had to wait for a while.
At this time, the fishing boats that were supposed to go out to sea had already gone out, so they were the only ones still waiting there.
Just when he was impatient with waiting and wanted to leave directly, someone in the distance flashed the light of a flashlight.
Father Ye quickly shouted loudly: "If you don't go faster, we will leave directly, slowly."
"Let's get on the boat first." Ye Yaodong took the lead and walked to the boat on the shore.
"hurry up……"
Finally, the people behind me trotted over. As soon as they got on the boat, the boat started to move before they could stand firm.
"Ouch, please slow down a little, my new clothes are going to be stained."
Ye Yaodong shined the flashlight on his second uncle, and then on several of his cousins. It turned out that several of them had already put on their new clothes.
Father Ye saw it and said, "What new clothes are you wearing in the middle of the night? Who are you showing them to?"
"Isn't it true that we don't have any decent clothes at home? It's just autumn. Apart from a newly made set, the house has been mended and mended in previous years. If we are worshiping our ancestors for the Chinese New Year, we will still have the cotton-padded jackets from last year's Chinese New Year.
, you can bring it and wear it first.”
"Yes, the old clothes at home are only for work, and they are all patched. It's not good to just wear them to the provincial capital. I might as well get new clothes and put them on first. After all, I have to meet people when I go somewhere.
"
"Yes, I don't have anything else at home except tattered clothes for work. I only made a new set some time ago just to wear when going to the provincial capital, so I put them on at night."
Having said this, Ye Yaodong had nothing to say.
It is indeed a fact.
They are all working people, so there is no such thing as good clothes. The clothes worn during daily work are easy to get damaged, and so does he.
Except for the lack of patches on his clothes, there is no difference between what he wears in the village and what he wears at sea. No one can laugh at anyone. Everyone is the same. The unpatched clothes on his body are considered good.
Everyone continued to talk about the clothes, and the conversation stopped after the boat reached the Dongsheng again and everyone changed to the Dongsheng.
The new topic revolves around the Dongsheng No. again, and also around Ye Yaodong.
Let Ye Yaodong never forget his roots, and don’t forget that he can’t write two characters “ye” in one stroke. We are all a family and we must help each other...
Ye Yaodong was surrounded by them, and Ye's father ran to sail the boat because he was afraid of losing time.
After he dealt with them casually for a few words, he turned around and climbed up to the helm to change with his father and let his father deal with them.
Except for the first two years when his eldest aunt fell in love with her and asked them to have sex with her, later on, she found that he was not able to get enough of her, and every time she came over, she failed to please him. Either his mother would fight him back, or his two sisters-in-law would chase her for her.
The debt and face were all gone, so I didn’t want to come here anymore.
It was quite peaceful for a long time.
And his second cousin Ye Yaofan is also honest, and the family has calmed down a lot.
In the year after he was released, people in the village frequently came to ask for debts, and there was no way he could get it later. Seeing how diligently he worked, they could only come to remind him every now and then, but it didn't make the trouble particularly ugly.
As for his second uncle's family, the second aunt specially made trouble for Ye Yaosheng and kept worrying about him not having a wife.
Later, I got a wife, but because I didn’t have a son, I kept struggling.
Sung several big plays.
His second uncle was quite lively. After seeing that he had made a fortune, he would occasionally come to visit him, hoping to repair the relationship and please him.
However, knowing that he is not easy to talk to, he usually chats with his father to connect with his brother.
She is not much different from his eldest aunt, but his eldest aunt is more disgusting.
Overall, there wasn't much discord behind it. Although I was jealous and wanted a piece of the pie, I wouldn't harm my own family.
Knowing that there is no bargaining, and that he is the one who made the fortune, not his father, he can at most come and have a chat, repair the relationship, and show his face.
He doesn't like them too much. Everyone has their own thoughts. Who doesn't want to be friends with rich people, let alone his own family members. They are all relatives anyway, so just have normal interactions.
Moreover, he is not at home often, and Lin Xiuqing can handle everything.
The fragrance from far away and the smell from near have always maintained a distance of neither far nor close, but now they are quite harmonious.
As for his eldest brother, his second brother, and several cousins ​​from his second uncle's family, after discussing the jellyfish matter before, they talked it out and there was no conflict.
Nowadays, when we meet, we always greet each other politely and can chat for a few words. The source of discord is the uneven distribution between several cousins ​​and others.
In fact, it is better for relatives and friends to have fewer conflicts of interest, otherwise it will be easy for them to turn against each other no matter how good the relationship is.
But it’s easier said than done.
Chinese people value human touch the most.
Ye Yaodong drove the boat and paid attention to the time, and turned the power to the maximum. He was also worried about making people wait for a long time when they dragged him.
From dusk to dawn, and then when the sun rises, he switches to his father to drive the car and goes to the cabin to catch up on his sleep.
The others had been on the boat all night and were already exhausted and had nothing to say. They were all very silent, which was just enough for him to squint and get some sleep.
When he arrived, it was just after noon, and within the estimated time, he was also called up.
"arrive?"
"We're here, quickly grab your luggage and get ready to disembark."
Ye Yaodong walked to the deck carrying the password box. Everyone looked at the cloth bag in his hand and cast envious glances.
"Dongzi's suitcase is so beautiful. It's so stylish. It looks like a big boss."
"Dongzi was originally a big boss. He owned boats, shops and cars. Now he is called President Ye."
"Yeah, how much does this lockbox cost? We haven't seen anyone carrying it there..."
Ye Yaodong just wanted to say that he didn't put on the toad glasses, nor did he put on his leather shoes.
Even if you are pretending to be awesome, you are only half pretending.
"I don't have much money, only a few dozen yuan, so I can afford it."
"How can I afford it? If I can afford it, buying it for dozens of dollars would be like taking out my heart and soul."
"Haha, Dongzi is also a person with status now, so he has to get the password box when he goes out."
hehe……
Ye Yaodong casually placed the password box on the stool and prepared for the fishing boat to dock.
As soon as the fishing boat rocked, the lockbox fell to the deck. He just glanced at it and ignored it because he had to be busy with work.
Everyone else felt very distressed, even though it was obviously not theirs, they felt more distressed than him.
I quickly ran over to pick up his suitcase, blew out the dust, and wiped it clean with a cloth.
"Let me help you get it, it's not stable if you put it away."
He nodded.
The person who helped to pick it up was Uncle Ye. After he took it in his hand, everyone held their heads high and their chests high consciously. They felt confident.
After Ye Yaodong got close to the boat and wanted to take it, Uncle Ye took his hand back and said with a smile, "I'll help you get it. You can get busy at any time, so it won't be good if you leave it anywhere. It's a valuable thing anyway.
What a pity it is to be corroded by sea water?”
Ye Yaodong was a little bit dumbfounded.
His second uncle is also a talented person. He is actually quite flexible and can carry a bag for his nephew.
"That's not appropriate. You are my second uncle, and you are helping me carry my suitcase. What is this..."
"It's okay, what do you have? The whole family can help you get what you have?"
Father Ye also chuckled, "I'll do it, what do you want me to do?"
"All right."
Ye Yaodong followed everyone ashore.
Except for him and his father, no one here has ever been to the provincial capital. Everyone’s neck is stretched out. It’s like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It’s extraordinarily novel. Their eyes are looking around, as if it’s not enough.
They all kept talking excitedly.
He didn't care about these people. He just asked them to wait at the dock and not run around. He went to find Lao Hai first.
Ye Yaohai also kept his promise and waited on the pier. When he saw him coming ashore, he also walked towards him. After the two met, they both smiled and said hello.
"How was the boat ride all the way? Can you bear the need to take a bus later?"
"It's not a big deal, I've been tossing like this for three days and two, no one on the sea can bear it, it's a common occurrence."
"Okay, so your uncles and brothers over there are all here, right? Are they all here together?"
"Yes, everyone is waiting over there."
"Well, let's go early. We can still make it in time for dinner when we arrive. I've prepared the car, so I'll just take the tractor."
Ye Yaodong led him towards the group of people at his house, "Okay, it's too late. If I had known, I would have come a day earlier, and I could have talked to you about the machine and plastic bags."
"The same goes for chatting on the road, or taking time to chat when you get to the village. Anyway, you can stay a few more days. The running water table is set up for three days. If you don't eat enough and go back, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Haha."
"Hahaha, eating is secondary. I have to worship my ancestors properly. I haven't worshiped my ancestors for how many years. I have to worship my ancestors all at once so that my ancestors can bless me in the future. Otherwise, our family will have been forgotten long ago."
"Okay, then when the time comes, you can spend all the time you have eating to pay homage."
As the two of them talked, they walked up to everyone. Father Ye smiled and said, "What do you mean by paying homage to the ancestors?"
"A Dong said that he would pay homage to his ancestors more and ask for their blessings. He said that he would not eat from the flowing water mat, and he would be unable to kneel for a long time."
Ye Yaodong was happy.
"Nonsense, that's what he said. You have to pay homage to your ancestors more, and of course you have to eat. If you eat more, your ancestors will bless you more. This is a rare good day."
"Let me introduce to you..."
"It's too late, let's talk as we walk, introduce as we go."
"That's okay, let's talk while we walk over there."
The tractor was parked right next to it, and except for a driver sitting in front of it, there was no one else around.
Ye Yaohai also sat in the carriage with them. Everyone naturally put their baggage on the ground and sat on the cushion with their buttocks on it.
This was very painful for Ye Yaodong, who could only squat.
However, Ye Yaohai packed his luggage and gave him half of it to sit on, and the two of them happened to be whispering.
Ye Yaodong first introduced everyone in the car to him, and then asked him about the machine.
"It's all arranged, and we're just waiting for it to be shipped. Later I went to ask you about the packaging bag, and I found out that the equipment was also sold in the provincial capital, but there was only one store, and it was relatively expensive. I heard it cost 10,000 yuan.
.”
"But if you have a plan in mind and know what you want to use it for, you can still make money. Like those ice bags, you don't know how many tens of thousands of bags you have to sell a day, and they come to wholesale in all towns and cities."
"I only found out after asking around that the ice pack only lasts for two months. It is available everywhere. It is not hard and has a slightly cold feeling. People buy it and no one dislikes it."
"You may not think it's cheap, but it only takes two months to get your money back."
He nodded, "I don't do this. It's cheaper anyway. It doesn't matter if you wait slowly. I'm not that anxious. I just want to wait until the ancestor worship is over and return to the city. Please take me to the plastic bag."
Let’s take a look at the factory and I’ll have to order the bags too.”
"No problem, I'm familiar with the provincial capital anyway."
"How long does it take to get to the village by tractor?"
"It depends on the situation, maybe three hours, I can almost make it in time for dinner."
"Is there anyone in charge of dinner in the ancestral hall?"
"Man, I just happened to start taking care of dinner today. Because I have to do things tomorrow and prepare for work today, so I started taking care of the meal today and started running the table tomorrow."
"OK."
