Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye both had work to do, and they both readily agreed. Although the family shared nearly 3,000 yuan from jellyfish fishing, it was barely enough to fund the shop. They could not afford to miss out on the daily work they should do and the money they should earn.
There are so many mouths in the family, and they don’t have much land. Vegetables are free, but food does cost money. They have nothing to do in daily life. They can just sit there and move their fingers, and do Internet work to supplement the family income.
"Ah Dong, when will the stores in that city pay? Do we need to see how the buildings are doing?"
"That's right. You can't see or touch this. So much money has been spent on it. Should someone take a look at it?"
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and said, "You can go and see it. Ask your eldest and second brothers to take you there some time. You must take a look at your own store as well. As for when to pay? It's written in the contract. Please read it carefully.
, after New Year’s Day, it happened to be the Chinese New Year not long ago, and now there is still one month before New Year’s Day.”
The two looked at each other and frowned again.
Sister-in-law Ye was full of reluctance, "I haven't even used the money yet, but I have to give it away. It's such a big sum... I can't even see the shop. If I had known better, I wouldn't have bought it... At least I can still see the money..."
…”
"You don't have to buy it. We calculated and calculated and thought again and again. Ah Hua was determined to buy it, so we gritted our teeth..."
"Oh~ I don't think you all want to buy it, right?"
…
You’ve already bought it, why are you talking about it? It will only affect the people around you and bring negative emotions.
Ye Yaodong heard her murmur a few words and left without saying anything. Anyway, the matter was over. If they had any complaints, they should tell each other among themselves. He didn't want to hear it at all.
"Hey, Adong, bring the thread of the fishing net over now and weave yours first."
"good."
He walked into the yard without looking back, then carried it to them on a pole and put it at the door for self-collection. Anyway, he was paid according to his work. A net cost 3 cents. Those who were fast could weave 5 cents from morning to night.
-6 pictures.
Last year, because he didn't let go of the sticky net, he only put two pieces in. He just tried it casually. This year, he planned to put in more. Anyway, he put out one or two pieces, and he put out more, so he worked hard.
The trawl nets have been very poor recently. I wonder if the fish have not passed through their area and have swam to the deep sea. Several big boats in the village are planning to only use longlines, and even small boats have begun to follow suit.
They are all doing longline fishing there, after all they have to make a living.
Longline fishing is relatively easy and saves fuel money. You can put it out today and collect it tomorrow.
It's not like trawling, which is spinning on the sea from morning to night. Recently, there aren't many cargoes, so the cost is not proportional to the income.
He also planned to set out the Yanshen fishing and sticky nets next, and then retract the ground cages every two or three days. This would be easier, as there would be no need to go out to sea in the middle of the night, and he would just go out to sea every day when the tide arrives.
The old lady was sitting by the door. She took an old sweater that Ah Qing had just given her. She was wearing reading glasses and was cutting open the joints with scissors, intending to dismantle the old sweater.
Ye Yaodong sat over and helped her find the end of the thread at one end, and helped her untie the knot at the beginning before rolling the thread for her.
"I'm wearing glasses now, so I can see clearly. You can go about your business."
"I'm fine. I'm just idle when I'm free."
As he said that, he took the sweater over and helped to pull out the thread, making it long so that the old lady could easily roll it up.
When the old lady saw him helping her work, she smiled kindly. What the old lady needed most was not money, but companionship.
Lin Xiuqing was halfway through cooking the fish when she saw her grandfather and grandson sitting at the door, one taking out the thread and the other winding it up, chatting and talking in a very harmonious manner. She originally wanted to ask Ye Yaodong to see if the child was awake?
Swallowed it back.
I plan to put the seabass soup out of the pot first, and then go into the house to take a look.
But at this moment, there was a sudden thumping sound in the room, and then a loud cry that broke through the roof suddenly shocked the three people who were busy working on their own.
"Ouch..."
"Why??"
The couple both stood up and ran to the door of the room, where a little meatball was lying on the ground crying heartbrokenly. This made them both feel sad.
Lin Xiuqing stepped forward first and picked up the child. She looked at her crying with runny nose and tears, her mouth flat and her eyes closed. She quickly coaxed her and patted her back.
Ye Yaodong also hurriedly stepped forward to touch the child, and said distressedly: "Look at the ones that fell. Her forehead seems to be blue? Oops... the cement floor is too hard, it must be very painful. Put her on the bed and see if there is any damage on her body."
Fell? I’ll get the tea oil.”
The old lady also walked to the door and said quickly: "I'll get it, I'll get it."
The couple circled around the child in distress. Ye Yaodong couldn't help complaining to Lin Xiuqing, "The child is sleeping, and you don't know how many times to look at the child..."
Lin Xiuqing immediately glared angrily, "Why didn't I go into the house and take a few more looks? I always come in every once in a while to take a look. After you finished what you were doing, did you come in and take a look? Are you embarrassed to tell me?"
"Aren't I busy too? I just came back from town..."
"I was just cooking there..."
The old lady quickly interrupted the couple's argument, "Okay, okay, don't argue. I've already fallen. Why are you talking about this? Just pay more attention next time. Quickly apply some tea oil on your body and take a look at it.
Did you fall somewhere? Children grow up quickly after falling, and there is no child who doesn’t fall. It’s better if it doesn’t fall badly.”
Lin Xiuqing also ignored him angrily. She took the tea oil and wiped it on the child's forehead. Then she untied her clothes and checked her. She found that only her hands were a little red, and she was relieved.
Ye Xiaoxi also had a flat mouth, tears hanging in the corners of his eyes, and continued to cry with twitching, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Daddy hugs, dad hugs, don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore, it's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore..."
Ye Yaodong quickly picked up the child and coaxed him, but the child didn't want him and kept rushing towards Lin Xiuqing, so he had to let go.
Lin Xiuqing took the child and glared at him, "Go get the fish soup out of the pot and fry two eggs for dinner."
"oh."
"I'll go, I'll go scramble the eggs." The old lady quickly took the work and walked out.
Ye Yaodong's child was sobbing and touched her head distressedly, "I'll go find some sticks or bamboo slices and nail them to the side of the bed. It happens that only this side of the canopy bed is not fenced. If you fence it, I won't be afraid next time.
She fell while sleeping."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said nothing. She just held the child and walked around to coax him.
Seeing that the child's tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, Ye Yaodong lay on her shoulder and quickly wiped her tears. Then he really went outside to find a stick and did what he said.
After finding it, he chopped it with an ax and borrowed a wood-cutting tool. He instantly transformed into a carpenter. This is the power of his father's love.
After finishing dinner, he continued to hammer and hammer. Listening to the curiosity of the two children, no adults answered their questions, so they had to finish eating and run out.
Ye Chengyang squatted in front of him, propped up his chin, and kept looking curiously, "Dad, why are you sharpening the stick?"
Before Ye Yaodong could speak, Ye Chenghu suddenly jumped up, covered his butt with his hands and took several steps back, "Ah! Dad, are you cutting a stick to beat us?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Chengyang panicked and immediately took a few steps back, "Ah, do you want to fight again?"
"It's been several hours. Dad is so vindictive...and he even went out of his way to sharpen the stick! It's so scary..."
Ye Yaodong turned around and glanced at the two idiots. He would never admit that these two stupid babies were his. They must have been fooling around with the guys next door.
"What you said reminds me, I'll cut off an extra stick later and keep it for later use, so that I won't have trouble hitting him with a whip. Next time I disobey or misbehave, I'll hit him with such a thick stick, and I'm sure I can break his legs in one go.
"
The two brothers trembled when they heard this and hurriedly moved to the entrance of the courtyard.
Ye Yaodong was too lazy to pay attention to them and continued to work on his own, but he heard two idiots talking bad things about him on the other side of the courtyard wall.
"My father is so terrible. He actually whittled several pieces of wood that thick and broke the legs of anyone he said was misbehaving. It was so terrible."
"Really? How thick is it?"
"It's very thick and very long." Ye Chengyang was also there to help talk, "The legs will definitely be broken."
"Did you pick it up?"
"You just picked it up."
"You were picked up from the toilet!"
"You were picked up from the toilet..."
…
Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines. He couldn't see it through a wall, so he thought he couldn't hear it either?
"Have you finished your homework?"
Suddenly, there was no sound from next door.
He saw that the work in his hand was almost done, so he continued to work harder. It was getting dark soon. Anyway, it was just about right. He was not a professional carpenter, and his requirements were not high. He would not be scratched by the wood thorns when he stretched his hand above it.
Just fine.
After whittling five wooden sticks and feeling that they were all smooth to the touch, he took them into the house with confidence and banged on the canopy bed.
After all, it was a broken bed that he had slept on for several years, so he didn't care.
He was afraid that the fence would be too high for people to step in, so he simply left an opening at the end of the bed to make it easier to get in and out of bed.
Although it was a bit ugly, it was surrounded at least, and he was not afraid that the child would fall off if he fell asleep again. He felt a little satisfied with himself, and quickly ran out and called Lin Xiuqing to come in and take a look.
Lin Xiuqing frowned as soon as she entered the room. What was nailed in such a mess?
"Is this the result of your busy afternoon?"
"Ang! That's right. Although it's a bit ugly, it doesn't matter. If you surround it this way, it won't fall."
Lin Xiuqing looked at his confident expression and couldn't bear to hurt him, but she really didn't want to complain.
"You look like a mess, why don't I take a thicker fishing net thread and weave a new one around the bed, and remove it when not in use. If she is sleeping during the day and I am not in the house, I will
Wouldn't it be better to hang it up, tie it tightly, and tie a bell on it to alert you to any movement?"
Ye Yaodong suddenly turned to stone after hearing this.
He worked passionately for several hours, but he was told that his hard work was in vain?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been busy all afternoon, and now you just tell me to weave a web?"
In an instant, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all hurt...
His hard work has been wasted and he has been working for so long in vain.
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and said angrily: "I didn't expect it at the time. Who knew you wanted to surround it with wood? It's like this. It's so ugly that it's hard to even go to bed."
"Why isn't it difficult to go to bed if there's a hole left?"
