After he finished selling, he was surrounded by villagers again, and then they followed him forward, followed by several people, all asking him about the boat.
When did you book the boat?
How long did it take to order before production started?
How was the money paid?
What should I do if there are any problems after I pay and deliver the goods?
If Lao Pei's boat goes out at night, will it take several days to come back?
After getting the big boat, are the two boats in the family planning to be released like the old Pei family?
Everyone took turns asking a series of questions, and his father happily answered them as he walked, telling everything he knew.
Ye Yaodong was also a little curious. He went to the city yesterday and was not at home. He didn't know if someone had also broken through the threshold of Aguang's house.
But looking at the enthusiasm of the folks today, I guess everyone was just envious yesterday and not many wanted to follow the trend. They were just a little tempted. After it was revealed today that he had also ordered a boat, it is probably even more serious that they also want to follow the trend.
idea.
People all have a herd mentality.
When he returned home, the villagers who followed him regretfully went back to their homes.
As soon as Ye Yaodong stepped into the house, he took off his clothes and asked Ah Qing, "I heard a lot of gossip about me as soon as I landed. Are my legends circulating in the village today?"
Lin Xiuqing knelt down to pick up the dirty clothes and pants he threw on the ground, first put them in the footbath at the bottom of the washstand, and then took out the washbasin above to fetch water for him to take a bath.
"Isn't it? The day before yesterday, there were rumors about how much money A Guang's family earns, how much wealth they have, and how much their boats are worth. They also said that our family is really good at marrying their daughters, and they married Huimei to A Guang.
The families are tied together to make a fortune."
"The whole village is just watching our two families getting rich one after another. They are all saying that our two families are very lucky. We don't know which deity we worship. Everyone also worships Mazu, and no one has become as rich as us."
"They also said that if the big boat goes out at night and comes back in a few days, can it earn so much?"
"Then early this morning, I went to the river to wash clothes, and I heard rumors starting to spread to our family, saying that our family will soon have a boat as big as that, and it will be available soon. By then, our family will definitely make more money than Aguang's family.
Come on, you don’t need to share it with others.”
"He said that our family has a shop, a workshop, three boats, and a big boat soon. He said that in the future, making money will be as easy as drinking water."
"Several relatives came to inquire one after another. They all asked how much we bought the boat? Can't we sail with so many boats? Do we have to hire someone to guard the workshop at home? We must have made a lot of money in the past two years, right?
I kept asking around about these people, and there were also people who borrowed money."
"There is no valid reason. I just said that we haven't collected the final payment of 8,000 for the fishing boat yet, and we still want to borrow it from here and there, so I can help them if they can."
"However, the eldest cousin of the second aunt's family said that the eldest son will go to high school in September, the other two will go to junior high school, and there is an elementary school. The tuition fees at home are quite large, so I can't raise the money. I said wait a minute
We’ll talk about the difference when school starts.”
Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement.
If you want to take advantage of the big family, you can just find excuses to avoid it, but you need help with your children's schooling, and you can't stop them from going to school just because of a small amount of tuition.
However, it is only July, is it too early to come here now? If there is really a shortage, they will be able to help in time.
"Then wait until next month when she comes to visit again. See how much is missing and help her fill the gap."
"I know."
"Where are the children? Why didn't you see anyone when you came back and didn't hear any movement at the door?"
"They all went to play football on the beach. Didn't you see it when you came back? Basically all the children in the village were there. A large group of people, who were buzzing all day long, were outside from morning to night."
"No, there was a group of people around me when I came back. They were just talking and didn't pay attention."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "I've been playing all day today. I didn't even ask them to come back for lunch. I asked them to play ball in the yard and refused to listen. It happened that the tide was low during the day, so I had to go to the beach to play, one by one.
It’s all black after being exposed to the sun for a whole day.”
"I saw them fighting several times today. A group of people struggled together. After the fight, some of them left crying, but they came back after a while and there were so many people again."
Ye Yaodong laughed loudly when he heard this, "Aren't all children like this? After playing, they turned around and made up again, not to mention there was a ball there to attract them."
Lin Xiuqing also found it funny, "I just asked them to come back for dinner, and they all said they would wait for you."
"That's nice to say, but you don't usually say that you have to wait for me. My daughter also went with me? Doesn't that have to be the same as Carbon?"
"When the sun was shining brightly, I carried her back. She was crying and making a fuss, and kept trying to plant her on the ground. I almost couldn't hold her, but I told her to take her to play with her cousin, and she calmed down. Then I just looked at her.
The sun was about to set, so I let her go to the beach to play for a while."
"Oh, by the way, have you called your sister-in-law? It's the first day the store is open. How is the business? Have you called to ask?"
"No, it's just the first day, isn't it? I have to work for a few more days and call again to find out if it is the same every day. Isn't it too anxious to call now?"
"Why are you anxious? Dear brother and sister-in-law, it's normal for you to care about them. Go ahead. It's not too late. The village committee shouldn't be closed yet. If it is closed, you can call the door and have a look."
Seeing that she was still standing there, Ye Yaodong urged: "Go quickly, it will be troublesome to call the door after it closes later. By the way, I will call my parents over for dinner."
"Okay." Seeing his persistence, Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to touch her pockets and then walked out. But she suddenly turned around and said, "After taking a bath, remember to call the children back for dinner."
"Um."
He was really curious, how much money could a small breakfast shop make if it opened in the market? It should be quite a lot, right?
In my last life, a small breakfast shop on the roadside made less money, so the one next to a market like this should make more money, right?
He thought about it in his mind and didn't bother about it. He would know it when Ah Qing came back later.
After taking a simple bath and soaking his feet for a while, he went to the beach to look for someone.
Literally all the children from the village came over, some of them looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and they came over to watch the fun and kick around.
Ye Chenghu was so angry that he was jumping with his feet. So many people were rushing to kick him, and he almost had no time to play.
"I won't play with you anymore. I still have basketball at home. I want to play basketball alone. I won't play football with you. There are so many people and the ball has already flown before I even put my feet out."
He turned around angrily and happened to meet his father, who quickly complained again.
Just in time, the ball also flew in their direction. A group of children, regardless of gender, were all running here to grab the ball. Ye Yaodong quickly pushed it with his chest to provide a buffer, then pushed it with his knees and caught it in his hand.
.
Ye Chenghu jumped up happily and said, "Give it to me, dad. Give it to me, dad."
Ye Yaodong swatted away the hand he extended, "Why are you extending your hand? I'm your father. There's nothing wrong with me. Let's go home for dinner. See what kind of tan you have? He's almost like your grandfather.
"
"Then I'll get it..."
He switched from his left hand to his right hand, but refused to let Ye Chenghu take it.
"You guys should go home for dinner quickly. Xiu Xiu, you guys are girls. You can do anything like jumping rope. I also bought you rubber bands. Didn't you pick them out yesterday? You are jumping rubber bands under the sunshade net.
It’s not more comfortable.”
"Hey, football is fun, there are so many people. Let's wait until night and then play skipping rope and rubber bands at the door."
Ye Chenghai also ran up to him panting, "Uncle Third, my ball..."
"Everyone has gone home for dinner."
He didn't give it to anyone, he just held it in his hand and held it in his arms. The other hand also picked up Ye Xiaoxi who was holding his thigh.
After he stood up straight, he was holding Ye Xiaoxi, and Ye Xiaoxi was holding a football that she couldn't hold with both hands. Her eyes were smiling like crescents, and her mouth was wide open, revealing
She had 8 teeth and saliva dripped onto the football.
Ye Yaodong smiled and walked towards the door of his house with his child in his arms. A large number of children behind him had no choice but to follow. The children living in the village also began to run towards the village.
At this time, many families in the village have already started eating. The children who came to the beach to play ball could not hear the calls from the village. They were all enjoying themselves so much that they had long forgotten about eating.
.
Now I can't escape a beating even if I go back.
Ye Yaodong did not deliberately withhold Ye Chenghai's ball. When he reached the door of his house, he threw the ball to him and asked him to take it home.
Ye Chenghu also walked home regretfully, "Dad, if I had known you would have bought me a football instead of a basketball. The ground here is full of stones, making it difficult to shoot basketball."
"Shoot? Basketball is for you to play, not for you to shoot. It's not a ball."
"Then how to beat me? If I hit her twice in the house, I will scold her. She is afraid that I will break the pots, pans, hot water kettles."
"Let's see if you are free in the next two days. I'll ask your grandpa to weld an iron basket for you on the outer wall of the small house in the workshop. Then I will teach you how to play and how to shoot."
Ye Chenghu was happy, "Okay, okay, that football is not enough for us to play with. I didn't kick it a few times today and kept running. If we get it to the workshop, no one else will run in."
, the land there is also flat.”
But you don’t have to show off anymore!
"Well, let's go wash our hands and eat."
The two brothers hurriedly washed their hands so that they could play some more after eating. Ye Xiaoxi also took the initiative to wash his hands after them. This was an honest opportunity to play in the water.
After washing, the three children's hands were wet, and they were running around throwing water drops on each other's faces, making a lot of noise.
The old lady had already packed the food for them and waved to them lovingly, "Stop playing and eat quickly."
