When the sun set in the evening, Ye Yaodong had just returned from Aguang's house pushing a cart of bananas and a few watermelons, and then went to the pier to wait for the boat without stopping.
Ah Cai was very generous and even asked him a few questions with concern.
"You are mediocre if you don't make people jealous. How you earn money is seen by the whole village. I thought yesterday that you must be fine."
Agui also said from the side: "That woman is so stupid. We are all from the same village, and she still engages in such a thing as reporting. It was so many years ago. Now you can't arrest people with just a reporting letter."
"
"But you have a great reputation, so I guess the border station must have inquired in advance whether you were doing business, so they came to take you back to ask."
"Nowadays, business people and individuals are closely watched, and if someone is not good, they can easily be labeled as a speculator."
Ah Cai also nodded, "I've also heard that several individuals in the town have been invited to inquire. It seems that many people have been arrested this year."
Agui then said: "These days are a little easier. Everyone has just seen spring and needs to be given a wake-up call."
"It's better to take it slowly. Isn't it just a few years after the opening up? In addition, there are smugglers everywhere, so we have to keep a close eye, otherwise, trouble will happen again within a few days of the good times. Anyway, in the future
It will definitely get better and better.”
Ye Yaodong didn't pay much attention to current affairs and politics in his previous life, but he has been there and knows that in the future, the country will become more and more prosperous and powerful, and the motherland will become more and more prosperous.
"Hopefully it will get better and better."
"Hey? So you didn't go to sea today, are you going to go to sea at night?"
"Watch the wind and waves. If the weather is good, go ahead."
"You've already made money, why are you working so hard? You can count the money at home now and leave the work to others."
"I think so too, but my father will beat me to death, my mother will scold me to death, and my wife will think that my eyes are not eyes and my nose is not my nose."
How dare he throw away the little cash he has at home?
If he just lays down at home and waits for others to make money for him, the rate may not be as fast as the inflation rate.
Those things buried under the ground were not visible to the light. He didn't know how to deal with them. He planned to save them for later and worry about them later. Anyway, he didn't dare to take them out now.
Lin Jishang was not worthy of his trust. He had only visited him a few times. He was not so strong, so he was still safe buried underground.
Who is more awesome than him? He can get in and out with tens of millions of real gold.
In his previous life, he had heard that some people thought they could live in retirement just because they had saved tens of thousands of yuan. Who knew that the times were developing rapidly, and even 10,000 yuan would not be enough to support them for a month, let alone retirement.
"How many days are you going to take the old Pei family's new boat?"
"I'm not sure. Let's see when we get to sea. If there is more cargo and the weather is good, we might stay a few more days. If there isn't much cargo, we might just stay for three or four days and then come back. It's hard to say. How can we predict what will happen at sea?
So accurate."
He estimated that the first time he went there wouldn't be too long. After all, the people on the ship were all his own people. After experiencing it, he would probably be able to send them back.
Aguang and his son originally planned to take turns boarding the boat, leaving one person to look after the house. Yesterday was only the first day before they went together.
"Too……"
The three of them were sitting on the shore chatting, and some villagers nearby also came out one after another, some to help pick up the goods, some to look at the tide, and some women came out to dig some sea blue on the stone walls.
Anyway, the sun is setting in the west and the sun is not that big anymore. Everyone who needs to come out for activities has come out.
Today, as usual, only Brother Aseng and his eldest cousin are going. If he plans to go out to sea at night, he will have to call for another person to work on the two boats together.
During dinner, ask his mother again to see which cousin is at home. If he is there, call him. If his father is not here these two days, he will call him first.
The goods had been sorted on the way back. There was nothing special about it. Ye Yaodong didn't go overboard to inspect the ship. He just helped lift it off the ship.
Then he weighed them, took the orders, gave them some words of condolences, said a few nice words, and asked them to go home quickly to take a shower and eat, and he also went home.
Lin Xiuqing had cut all the bananas he brought back into bunches, put them in a basket and wrapped them in newspapers, so that they could be eaten directly after two or three days.
While Ye Xiaoxi was watching her work, her mouth was drooling all over her chin, so she cut a watermelon for her to nibble on to stop the fuss.
She was also blessed with a good fortune, and her family conditions were also good when she was born. Her father loved her mother, and she had no worries about food and clothing. She often had snacks, and she kept talking all day long.
Lin Xiuqing saw that Ye Yaodong was back, handed him a piece of watermelon, and told him the same thing.
"You can eat whatever you want. How much money can you spend on it? No one can make the children suffer. It's summer vacation. They run around all day long. Even Xiaojiu and Xiao Jiu have to exercise a lot."
After taking a few big bites, he threw the melon rind to the back door for the geese to peck at. Then he washed his hands and called for dinner.
Lin Xiuqing muttered a few words, then went to the door and called her two sons' names as if hanging for their lives, before calling them back and asking them to call Mother Ye.
It was summer vacation, and they all went crazy with their fun. There was no one around except for meals. It had only been four or five days, and Ye Xiaoxi had been led to a lot of fun by them.
During dinner, Ye Yaodong asked his mother which of his cousins ​​was at home recently. If he wanted to go to sea at night, he would have to call someone else.
"I'll walk around and ask around later. I don't know if they have any work. If not, I'll call one for you. Anyway, don't call you Brother Afan."
"What happened again?"
"I really expected you. When I came here just now, I saw your eldest aunt. When she was caught on the road, I asked if I could let you talk to the big shots you know. I could release your brother Hong or reduce the number for a few years.
.”
"I've obviously told you before that you don't have that ability. I guess I heard rumors today that you were released by a big shot just after making a phone call, so I decided to ask again without giving up."
"Fortunately, she met me on the way and asked her to go back halfway."
Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "What did you say?"
"What else can I say? Let's just say that what he did was illegal and criminal. He was already arrested, so how could he be released? How can other leaders be so smart and knowledgeable? You can only say this because you were wrongly accused."
"Where did we get such a big face and such great ability? Anyway, don't worry about them. I heard that the sentence can be reduced."
"Hmm..." Ye Yaodong responded nonchalantly.
At this moment, the dog outside the house kept barking, and a female voice sounded outside, calling, "A Dong, A Qing... are you at home..."
"Who is it?"
Mother Ye glanced at Lin Xiuqing, who was feeding Ye Xiaoxi in her arms, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, "I'll go take a look."
But as soon as she went out, she didn't come in for a long time. When Ye Yaodong stood up to load the food, he took a look outside and then retracted in.
The old lady asked in confusion: "Who is at the door? Why hasn't your mother come in for so long?"
"Cousin Meiying!"
"Ah, what is she here for?"
"I guess it's the same purpose as my aunt."
I don’t know what my brain is, but I still think about letting the gambling dogs out in advance, so I can live a peaceful life?
The old lady shook her head and said nothing.
Lin Xiuqing also pursed her lips in disgust.
It took a while for Ye's mother to come in again, "Everyone thought that your hands and eyes were all over the place, and you didn't know what shit you ate. Your brain was so muddled up that you were crying so hard that you wanted to ask for your help. You said that the life of orphans and widowed mothers was not easy."
, he said it as if he had lived a good life before."
"Hey, it's really hard to say. Betting on dogs can make you live a good life."
"Eat, eat, don't worry about them, you will teach them a lesson. If you are lazy, just be lazy, but don't learn bad things."
"I'm so lazy. I can't stop your mouth even if I eat. If you say what others say is good, why do you want to involve me again?"
"I'm just reminding you."
"Thank you!"
The mother and son bickered a few more times before they could eat the meal with peace of mind.
But when it got dark and Ye Yaodong was sitting at the door eating watermelon, he saw the heads on the wall of the courtyard again, and there was someone on the other side of the wall shouting in surprise that Brother Dong was shouting.
He had no choice but to throw the watermelon rind into the corner to feed the ducks, wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, and wipe it on the stool.
The old lady pulled his clothes in surprise, "Who is calling you? Who are those people, Dongzi?"
"A few friends, let me go and check it out."
The old lady stretched her neck and looked there, "Why are you jumping like this? Just come in, you make me think there is a thief so early..."
As soon as Ye Yaodong opened the courtyard door and appeared, he saw one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, no more, no less, the same few standing at the door.
"Brother Dong, are you back?"
"In the morning, there were rumors everywhere that you were going to jail, being sentenced, and selling your boat. In the afternoon, people were saying that you had been released."
"Yes, someone said in the afternoon that he was released by a big shot. It turned out to be true. You are really amazing..."
"Dong ... Dongdong Dongge ... you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, no, no, no, nothing!"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Where did the stutter come from???
"Shut up, don't talk!" A young man bumped the little stutterer with his elbow and glared at him.
The other person also glared at him, "I told you not to talk, not to talk, but you still talk..."
"It's over, exposed..."
Wang Guangliang also glared at the little stutterer, and then smiled sarcastically at Ye Yaodong, "My friend stutters a bit. We usually ask him to talk less. He probably cares about Brother Dong, so he couldn't help it... Haha...
"He has been stuttering since he was a child, but he is quick and capable. He hits wherever he points. It's because I was young. We can't let him be bullied. We have to take him to play..."
Ye Yaodong's affection for these young men instantly increased a lot, and it was rare to be able to play with a stutterer...
Such people, without anyone to protect them, will be bullied and ridiculed until they become autistic.
