In the past two days, there was quite a lot of limelight because of the purchase of another boat, and it happened to be a typhoon day when everyone was idle. The day after their family bought the boat, they were almost visited by relatives and friends again.
That is to say, he was not at home since he left home early in the morning and did not see it. He came back with two pots in the afternoon and heard Ah Qing talk about it.
But he didn't care.
Knowing that he has become rich, it is normal for relatives and friends to come to his door, but it is abnormal for them not to come.
Lin Xiuqing watched him move two pots down and put them in the corner, and then saw him bring a cloth bag to her, feeling a little curious.
"What? Candy?"
It didn't feel very heavy when she picked it up, but it was hard when she pinched it. But when she opened it, she realized that it was a small coral again, just like the ones at home.
"Why did you bring this thing back again? No one wants it. The previous ones were all thrown into the drawer, and now you bring so many of them. My aunt gave them to you?"
"My aunt was going to take it and throw it away, so I asked her to give it to me. Keep it for now. If she has any more in the future, don't throw them away."
"Why do you take so much? We have enough at home."
"Red, white, pink and black, don't you think they look good? Keep them."
When I went to town in the morning, I also pushed some winter melon, pumpkin and shrimp to his aunt. Anyway, his aunt's village was not far from the town, just a small village on the roadside.
When he was going there, he happened to see her falling into the ditch, so he quickly stopped her.
It's such a pity to dump them. Although they are all small scraps, they can be ground into rings, bracelets, and earrings. With a little labor cost, they can be made into valuable and beautiful jewelry.
"Bring back some useless things."
Lin Xiuqing muttered, disgusted, but still took it back to the house and put it away.
"If you don't bring back useless things, then if I bring back useful things, you will be so angry. Useful things require money."
She turned and glared at him.
Ye Yaodong held several books in his hand and followed her as she walked. He raised his hands and put them to her ears to fan her while smiling in a flattering way.
"For example, this one costs money, but this one is cheap, so don't be angry."
Lin Xiuqing took the notebook out of his hand, looked at him angrily, and took it back to the house to put it away.
Ye Yaodong sat in front of the TV next to the old lady and watched Ye Xiaoxi squatting in front of her, eating like a mouse. He also took one and put it in his mouth to chew.
As a result, he saw the old lady reaching out to put the thing that had just been put into Ye Xiaoxi's mouth and then pulling it out again.
“I can’t bite it anymore, and I keep eating it secretly.”
Mother Ye was also watching TV. She also put a bamboo disc on her lap to pick out shrimps. She picked up one and put it in her mouth, chewed it until it was chewy, then took it out and put it in Ye Xiaoxi's mouth...
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened when he saw it, and he quickly dug it out of her mouth!
"What are you doing?" Mother Ye looked at his actions and asked in confusion.
"Why do I have to ask you? It's so disgusting that you put it in your mouth, chewed it up and stuffed it into her mouth."
"How can she eat it if she doesn't eat it like this? She only has a few front teeth. You ate peanuts when you were young, and I chewed them up and put them in your mouth. What's so disgusting about it?"
Ye Yaodong's face was full of disgust, "If it's not disgusting, why don't you let the old lady chew it up and feed it to my father's mouth to see if my father scolds you?"
"Crazy! Blindly picky."
However, Ye Xiaoxi looked up and looked at this and that for no apparent reason, and then quietly took the one the old lady had just pulled out and stuffed it back into his mouth.
Moreover, while the adults were not paying attention, his little eyes rolled around and stuffed several more secretly, his mouth was bulging, and his cheeks moved back and forth.
It was the old lady who saw it first when she lowered her head. She smiled so hard that her toothless gums were exposed. "Look at her, her mouth is full again. She ate something secretly when she didn't see it for a while."
Ye Yaodong also saw how bulging her cheeks were, like a little squirrel, and he was happy and quickly went to pick her mouth again.
But she also learned to be smart and wanted to run with her little feet.
As soon as he took a step with his long legs, he grabbed her and held her in his arms, "You still want to run away, kid! Spit it out, these dried shrimps are so hard that your teeth can't bite them. If you want to eat them, you have to wait until they are soaked and taken out."
cook."
She kept her mouth shut and wouldn't let go, and her body was still twisting and turning in an attempt to escape.
Ye Yaodong could only clamp her to prevent her from running away. At the same time, he forced his hand into her mouth, but she bit her tightly with her teeth. It took a lot of effort to pull out every bit of it.
With his mouth empty, Ye Xiaoxi burst into tears and quit.
"Wow~oooooo~"
Not even a bite was eaten! They even dug it out!
All the adults in the room laughed.
Lin Xiuqing heard the crying and came out to take a look. She knew it was because she was not given food, so she also laughed.
"The pumpkin is boiled in the pot and it's almost rotten. I'll put it in a bowl for her to cool down and eat."
Ye Yaodong looked a little dumbfounded, "This is too greedy."
"There are children who are not greedy."
Ye Xiaoxi twisted her body, sobbing and ran towards Lin Xiuqing, hugged her thigh, sat on her instep, and cried louder.
"Okay, don't cry. Let it cool down and you'll have something to eat in a while."
Ye Yaodong himself also filled a large bowl and ate it first, with brown sugar and ginger slices in it, which tasted gingery and sweet.
He picked up a chopstick and put it in front of Ye Xiaoxi to seduce her, but seeing that she was quite brave, he glanced away and snorted heavily with a nasal sound.
Quite a little tempered!
"It's so fragrant if you don't eat it. It's so simmered that it almost melts in your mouth. It's so sweet. Mmm~ It's so delicious~"
The alluring voice is quite attractive.
Ye Xiaoxi soon let go of Lin Xiuqing's legs and quickly climbed onto the table. However, he saw that the table in front of him was empty and there were no bowls.
Lin Xiuqing put the small bowl she had just put on the stove instead of the table because she was holding her feet and couldn't get away.
She was also very flexible and able to stretch. She immediately climbed off the table on her hands and knees, then ran to Ye Yaodong's legs, climbed up on his legs, and then sat upright on his lap, opening her mouth, "Ah~"
Ye Yaodong looked at her behavior in amusement, and even pinched her cheek, "Why are you so shameless? You were angry with me just now, and now you take it to your door?"
"Ah~ hurry up~"
"As you command, ancestor."
Ye Yaodong dug out a small piece with his chopsticks, blew it again and again, and then put it into her mouth. Seeing the satisfied expression on her face, he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against hers.
However, she pushed her away with her hands holding her face.
"Ah~"
He had no choice but to accept his fate and continue feeding.
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and put her small bowl on the stool for her, and took a small spoon.
"No need to feed it, just put it down and let her eat it by herself. Anyway, I took out the seeds and dried the pumpkin seeds. She will spit out the skin on her own."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong thought of the beginning, but not the ending.
He knew that after harvesting the winter melons and pumpkins, they would appear on the dinner table in the next few days.
But he didn't expect that winter melon, pumpkin, watermelon, and papaya would all appear on the dinner table at the same time...
Winter melon and shrimp skin soup, fried pumpkin, watermelon mixed with sugar, fried pumpkin with shrimp, stewed loach, steamed egg with minced meat...
Fortunately, there are no mung bean sprouts, which is a little better.
"Can I have meat tomorrow?"
Lin Xiuqing was puzzled and pointed at the minced meat and steamed egg, "Isn't this meat?"
It seems like...
"But I want to eat braised pork."
"Okay, got it."
Ye Mu murmured, "I'm still picky about what I eat. Didn't I just eat eel last night?"
“Is eel meat?”
“Isn’t eel meat?”
"no the same."
Ye Yaodong stretched out his chopsticks and pointed at the winter melon, pumpkin, watermelon, and pu melon, "Can these not appear together? Can the pu melon instead of the northern melon summon Hongzhong to make a fortune?"
Lin Xiuqing choked on her meal and coughed violently.
The old lady smiled and patted him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Winter melons and pumpkins are just picked, so you shouldn't eat them while they are fresh? Eating watermelon on a hot day makes your mouth feel good. The pumpkins are brought over by the neighbor next door who couldn't finish eating them."
"He has a lot of opinions, so hurry up and eat." Mother Ye urged, and then she went to eat by herself.
However, after taking two bites, she thought of something else and glared at Ye Yaodong, "After dinner later, put away all their balls and don't let them play with basketballs and footballs. Let's see how tanned they are.
?I don’t know how to help with the household chores.”
"After dinner, call all the kids next door to come over and help pick out the shrimps. There are still hundreds of kilograms of shrimps there. Don't just play around, finish the work first."
Ye Chenghu screamed, "Don't put it away..."
Ye Yaodong ignored him, "Well, I will confiscate their football and basketball later."
Recently, a few of them have really been playing too crazy. As long as they run out, they won't be able to come back even if they are called. After being beaten, they will still limp out and run out.
"We spoil them all day long. Whose child doesn't help with the work and just plays all day long? Even the children of the whole village have grown up in front of our house."
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang both wanted to cry. They had just bought it and they were still in high spirits. It would be confiscated so soon.
Ye Chengyang bit his chopsticks and looked at it eagerly, "Dad, can we play after we pick out the shrimps and finish our work?"
"Well, I'll let you play after I finish my work."
"Then I'll call all my friends over later to help pick them out. It will definitely be done soon." Ye Chenghu raised his neck and said proudly.
"Okay, I will go to the workshop later, move the bamboo bed to the door, and pour the crushed dried shrimps onto the bamboo bed. You can sit in two rows and pick slowly."
Mother Ye added, "Be careful and don't let anyone eat it secretly. This is all to be sold for money."
"Hmm, if anyone dares to steal it, we will beat him to death! He will never be allowed to play football in our house again."
Ye Chenghu clenched his fists and started to make gestures.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and give me something to eat."
Recently, the children in the village have formed the habit of running to the door of their families as soon as they finish eating, and then starting to call the names of the boys and girls of the Ye family at the door.
After hearing the shouts from the friends at the door, no one could calm down to eat, and they all started to eat quickly.
But what everyone expected today was that as soon as Ye Chenghai went out with the football, he was detained by Ye Yaodong.
Ye Chenghu also ran to the edge, put his hands on his hips and yelled: "My father said that you are not allowed to play ball at night. You have to help with the work. When the work is done, you can play ball again."
Not long after, there was a pile of crushed dried shrimps piled on the bamboo bed at the door, and several large bowls were placed on top. Children were sitting on both sides, and they were all picking carefully.
I worked hard at my own home and worked for other people's homes, but I got more energetic. I have never been so positive.
Ye Chenghu returned the pretentiousness by crossing his hands behind his back and walking around in circles, shouting in a decent manner: "No one is allowed to steal food. If you steal food, don't come to my house to play ball in the future."
If I come, I will drive you all out!"
Others who didn't get a job could only play and wait.
Ye Yaopeng did have a bamboo bed at home. After seeing the situation at the door, he moved it out and let them borrow it.
Now, both sides of the two beds were filled with children.
After Ye Yaodong poured a large amount of dried shrimps on top, he also moved a rocking chair and lay down beside it, leisurely.
Suddenly there was a large group of child laborers, and it was still voluntary, which was good.
The entrance is so lively, and of course there are adults who come over after dinner to watch the lively chat.
"Your family is really good. It has bought over all the children in the village."
"I have never seen them so diligent when working for my own family...but they are very serious when working for other people's families..."
Ye Chenghai said happily: "They all rushed to do it on their own. I didn't ask them to do it. I couldn't do it even if I wanted to, and I couldn't even squeeze in."
Ye Chenghu also echoed, "Because they want to help finish it early so that they can play ball."
"I'm also going to get a bamboo disc to help. I'll be free when I'm free..."
"Are there any discs left?"
After a while, the open space was filled with men and women chatting idlely. They all sat together in two or three, sharing a flat bamboo disk and picking it up together.
People in the countryside are indispensable for this kind of bamboo weaving tools, which are very convenient for drying things.
People who live in harmony with their neighbors usually do whatever work they can do if they can help.
"These are the first batch to be dried. They haven't been peeled yet. How many kilograms can be peeled off after peeling them all off?"
"A few hundred kilograms, right? It seemed like a thousand kilograms were sent back before. The second time, more were sent back. The ones being dried in the workshop over there looked full."
"You have to peel it out and weigh it to find out. There is still more than half of it left. It will probably take another day." Lin Xiuqing said, sitting next to Ye Yaodong's chair.
"I heard that your own eldest brother and sister-in-law rented the shop of the eldest brother and sister-in-law here. How is the business? I heard that the annual rent is more than 500. Can you make it back?"
"It's okay. There were a lot of people calling me on the first day to say business was going well. I've been so busy in the past few days that I haven't had time to call, and I don't know. The phone bill is always expensive."
"It's quite expensive. It doesn't matter who spends the whole day talking on the phone."
"It's good to rent it out. You can earn hundreds of dollars a year. In a few years, the rent alone will be enough to recoup the cost. It's quite a bargain for you to buy it."
This finally came to Sister-in-law Ye's mind, and she was very happy, "Yes, it's good if you can rent it out, and you can make money slowly, so it's considered the right purchase."
Sister-in-law Ye was a little frustrated, "I don't know when our store can be rented out, it's not too far away..."
Brother Ye stopped her and continued, "Why worry? The market is so busy now. If you put it there, people will rent it."
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing remained silent. It was their eldest brother who liked it, not what they said.
The adults said it was lively, and the children's side was also lively. Several boys in their family were like patrols, always milling around the two bamboo beds, and the children on the side were running and jumping.
However, at this time, another uninvited guest came to the door.
Aunt Ye looked at so many people at the door and walked towards Ye Yaodong with a smile on her face.
Lin Xiuqing also frowned with a headache. She had already been here once during the day, but A Dong was not at home, so she came again now.
Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and was concentrating but didn't notice it. It wasn't until she called him that he opened his eyes and turned his head to look.
"what?"
"Didn't I hear that you booked another boat? Come and take a look. Come over in the morning, and A-Qing said you're not at home."
"oh."
"Will you be able to get another big ship by the end of the year?"
"Well, that's what I said."
The underlying meaning is that he doesn't know if there will be any changes.
"Then let's reserve a boatman's position for Brother Afan then? We don't want to worry about the boat. It's okay to reserve a boatman's position in advance, right?"
Ye Yaodong almost stopped entertaining his aunt.
Does she mean to say: I don't care about your boat anymore, so I'm just asking for a job as a boatman. That's nothing to say, right?
"I don't know if I can get my boat by the end of the year. The delivery date was originally written for the middle of next year. Isn't it too early for my aunt to come over and ask Brother Afan for work now?"
The workshop was successfully completed, and Brother Afang had been working conscientiously and received his salary normally. Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt couldn't wait and jumped out again.
"I'm not allowed to tell you in advance? What if you say you've found a good person by then? Then wouldn't we have no chance? It's okay to tell us half a year in advance, right?"
After saying that, Aunt Ye started to play the emotional card again, "Dongzi, you are brothers, but you have the same grandfather. You can't ignore him. You are also cousins. Broken bones are connected with tendons."
, you have to help when it’s time to help..."
Before Ye Yaodong could speak, Sister-in-law Ye was the first to choke.
"My eldest aunt said it well. We are all brothers. The eldest brother's bones are still connected to his tendons. Then why did the eldest cousin think of looking for relatives to attack? Why didn't he think of his brothers being merciful? What a pity, ours
I don’t know when I will be able to repay my hard-earned money.”
Sister-in-law Ye also said in a weird way: "Auntie is so good at planning that she can come over half a year in advance to tell me. Didn't auntie help the two cousins ​​arrange how to repay the money in advance? This needs to be planned in advance, right?"
Second Sister-in-law Ye also said: "We are all relatives, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. When paying back the money, shouldn't we pay it back to our brothers first?"
"Brother Afan has been released first, do we have to bear part of it first? We just happened to buy the boat, and our money is very tight..."
"Adong's wages for the work done in the workshop some time ago should be directly deducted and given to us, so that Brother Afan can pay back little by little in advance..."
This is absolutely amazing!
Aunt Ye suddenly lost her composure.
"This code is the same code, wages are wages, how can we deduct it directly? Ah Fan doesn't owe Ah Dong, and it's Ah Hong who deceived you, what does it have to do with Ah Fan? Besides, it's not of your own free will.
of?"
Sister-in-law Ye's face turned dark instantly, she stood up and walked to her.
"Let me go, auntie actually said this. What do you mean we did it voluntarily? We were deceived and deceived. Is it reasonable for him to start a rat club? Why do you blame us for being deceived voluntarily? He was obviously the one who deceived people first.
Now you still blame us for being deceived?”
"If you weren't greedy, could he deceive you? Why didn't he deceive others? You have your own problems, not to mention what else would happen if everyone else went in? Affan was also taken there in a daze. Rats can deceive money.
It’s none of his business, so why should I ask him to pay it back?”
Sister-in-law Ye was also very angry, "So we deserve to be cheated? I'm so angry. Is it reasonable to defraud people of money? No wonder they can come to our door to be justified. It's our stupidity that hurts your son."
Going to jail, right?”
"Ouch, why are you so shameless? I have to go to Brother Afan's house and ask to see if he thinks the same as auntie?"
"No wonder they come to my door again and again. It turns out that I feel that I am not wrong and deserve to be defrauded of our money."
The two sisters-in-law cheered on Aunt Ye, making her look unhappy, and she didn't dare to blatantly say that they deserved to be fooled because of their stupidity.
If you really say that, tomorrow the villagers who have been defrauded of money will have to knock on their door again.
Some time ago, Afan had already made a fuss when he came back. Now that it had finally calmed down, she didn't want the villagers to think about him anymore.
Fortunately, several families here had no money to invest in the Rat Club because they were building houses. No one sitting here was deceived, except for these two sisters-in-law.
However, the squeeze from the two sisters-in-law was enough for her to drink a pot.
"Let's go together. We didn't ask for an explanation when he came back. Since the eldest aunt said it's none of Brother Afan's business, let's go over and talk about it. Whose money is not hard-earned money? It's easy for everyone to earn some money.
Is it? They are all earning their lives."
"It's just that, after working hard to save some money, we were deceived and they said we deserved it."
Aunt Ye panicked instantly and quickly stopped them, "I didn't say that. When did I say you deserved it? Don't talk nonsense."
"Isn't that what you just meant?"
"No, no, I mean these are all started by Ah Hong. He has also been sentenced. Ah Fan doesn't know anything and was coaxed by his elder brother. He has just come out now and has to re-do everything.
First of all, you have to give him a chance and help him get through the difficulties."
Ye Yaodong watched them making trouble with a headache. Why can't the eldest aunt learn well? Or is she really a mother?
Second Sister-in-law Ye was reluctant, "I think my eldest aunt is quite good at planning for Brother Afan, so I'll help you make some plans. When will we be able to pay back the 1,000 yuan our family has? My sister-in-law's family also has 1,000 yuan."
"
"This is Hiro's fault. Where there is a blame, there is a debtor. You have to go to him and tell me what to say."
"How can I find him? Should I go to the prison to find him? I've brought all the bad luck to you!"
Sister-in-law Ye also smiled and said: "I saw that the eldest aunt is so good at planning, and I thought that the eldest aunt had already planned it for them. How much will you earn from working this year, and how much will you earn next year? How much will you pay back this year, and how much will you pay back next year!
I thought you had already figured it out."
"Where...where...Afan's life is very rare. Otherwise, why would I come to your door every three days asking for help? I just thought that Adong is so promising, and it is appropriate to help recruit brothers. I owe you money, you can wait.
Let’s talk after Hiro comes out.”
"Auntie's calculations are really loud. It will take 8 years until Brother Ahong comes out. So can we count all the interest in the past few years? Let him pay back the principal with interest by then?"
"How do I know this? You have to ask him. One thing should be treated as one. Don't talk about it. I'm asking A Dong about his work right now. Don't talk nonsense."
"Okay, one code equals another, then let's ask Brother Afan to see what he says. It is only natural to pay back debts, and he is also involved. If Brother Hong is not here, then he has to pay back the money."
Second Sister-in-law Ye took over the conversation, and after speaking, she pulled Sister-in-law Ye directly to go out again.
Aunt Ye held him back again, and the three women pulled and pulled him, and then continued to pull him.
Everyone didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing something important again.
There is nothing wrong with three women and one drama.
His mother is not here today, and it would be even worse if she were.
The neighbors' comments didn't stop. Only the children were unaffected. The older children would turn their heads and look at it curiously, but the younger ones didn't care at all and were minding their own business.
The shrimp pickers were still concentrating on picking the shrimps. There was a football hanging in front of them. Everyone was very motivated and just wanted to help finish picking the shrimps and then play.
After listening to it for a long time, Ye Yaodong felt that his aunt was really good at pulling things apart. She could even turn black into white, and she could really pull someone out by force.
Originally, people came to see him, but now it was no longer his turn to talk, he just had to watch the show.
I don’t know why, but his eldest aunt came to their house several times to ask him to win over his brother. She obviously didn’t get it right every time. Is he really that awesome?
"A Dong, do you want to tell Auntie to leave?" Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but said.
"What are you talking about? They don't have time to listen to me right now." He raised his chin, "They haven't explained it clearly yet."
He turned to look at the old lady again. The old lady had her head drooped and did not watch them quarreling. She lowered her head and was minding her own choice of shrimps, indifferently.
The old lady doesn't care, and of course he doesn't care either. What does the fight between three women have to do with him? He hasn't been defrauded of money either.
His eldest and second brothers were standing nearby, so it was his turn to worry.
However, the three of them kept going further and further away.
After a while, Aunt Ye started to curse angrily. She turned around and cursed a few words unwillingly, walking further and further away.
Today, I wanted to help Brother Affan find a job as a crew member, but I had no choice but to give up.
