Ye Chenghai looked at the one on the left, the one on the right, two more small ones at his feet, and a few flat ones with their hands spread out in front. He was breathing heavily, almost like a bullfight.
"Why don't you let me go quickly? How are you going to get the money if you don't let me go?"
"Wow! Now that we have money, everyone has money!"
Everyone immediately let go of Ye Chenghai and cheered. They were so happy. Not only could they have a big meal today, they didn't expect that they would also get money.
Thank you Ye Chenghe!
"Haha, it's a dime per person, Brother Ahai."
"It's so annoying."
"It's 10 cents per person, not everyone sharing 10 cents!"
"I know, are you bothered? Keep talking."
"Brother, my pants are torn, you have to pay me a dollar!"
Ye Chenghai's eyes almost turned into bull's eyes and he rushed directly towards Ye Chenghe.
Ye Chenghe was on guard for a long time. When he saw him moving, he immediately hid next to his mother, "Mother said it, not me. If you ruined my pants, you have to pay for it. Otherwise, mother will punish you."
Seeing Ye Chenghai rushing over regardless, he circled around the table again, and now no one caught him.
"Before mother hits me, I'll beat you to death first!"
"Mom, eldest brother is not convinced and doesn't want to lose money. He just wants to keep the money to marry a wife."
"Brother Ahai, it's like having a wife and forgetting your mother." Ye Chengjiang stood aside to watch the show, not forgetting to fan the flames.
"Mom, brother, your words fell on deaf ears!"
Ye Chenghai was so angry that he was about to rebel one by one, and they even united to bully his eldest brother.
The adults at the table looked at their farce in amusement. Sister-in-law Ye also said to Ye Chenghai: "The clothes and pants you are wearing were all made last year. You ruined his pants. Can't you compensate? No compensation."
If so, just use your new Chinese New Year clothes as payment, just in time for the Chinese New Year, so you don’t have to buy or make clothes.”
"Yes, of course I want new clothes. That idiot Ye Chenghe has some, so of course I want them too."
"Then you pay me for it!" Ye Chenghe was so proud that he could defeat his eldest brother, so what if he called him a fool?
Anyway, he was scolded every day, it didn't hurt, he didn't lose a piece of meat, and he still got a dollar for free.
The third uncle's idea was great. In this way, everyone had a dime. He contributed the most and was beaten, so he deserved a dime.
Ye Chenghai was furious, but he couldn't catch anyone, and his other brothers and sisters kept urging him to get money, so he had no choice but to snort angrily and go back into the house.
It’s not too late to take revenge later!
Ye Chengjiang and a group of others immediately followed him into the house. Everyone was looking forward to it. One cent was a huge sum of money.
"You all go out and wait, no coming in, no peeking!"
Ye Yaodong looked at the children who were waiting excitedly at the door with a smile, and sighed, "Ah Hai is quite rich. He has saved a lot of money for his private life, right?"
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him with a smile, "Didn't you help him save it?"
"That's because he put in the hard work."
Aguang also gloated, "I'm bleeding heavily now, and my wife is almost empty."
Ye Chenghai's face turned black. His eyes were filled with open palms, big and small, dazzling smiles, and constant urging.
He felt heartbroken and divided the cents one by one until he got to the end. When he saw two little ones, Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, also spreading their hands, he felt a little reluctant to part with them.
Ye Chenghe is also very capable of touching people's hearts, and he is very unafraid of death, "Brother, they both caught me just now, and they also share in it. You can't bully them. My third uncle and my little uncle are watching!"
"Shut up!"
"In addition to them, you have to pay me a dollar. Hurry up, mother said."
Ye Chenghai glared at him fiercely, "Come over here. If you don't come over, how can I give you the money?"
"No, I went over and threw myself into a trap. You threw it over."
"Come and get it yourself."
"It's the same thing if you throw it over!"
Ye Chengyang rolled his eyes and smiled mischievously, "Brother Chenghe, I'll help you go over and ask Brother Ahai to get it, and you give me half!"
Ye Chenghai turned his head and stared at Ye Chengyang in surprise.
Ye Chengyang was not afraid of him, and looked at him cheerfully, "Help share half of it, give me the money!"
Ye Chenghe felt that such a stalemate was not the answer, so he asked Yangyang to help get it, and he could share half of it. In this way, he would still have fifty cents, which was more than everyone else, and the beating would not be in vain.
"Yes, give me the money, Yangyang can help me get it, and I'll give him half of it!"
The adults at the table were enjoying themselves while watching.
"These kids are acting like they're in a big show!" Sister-in-law Ye said with a smile. Anyway, it wasn't her children who were fighting among themselves.
"It's just like this when there are many children in the house. They are noisy and noisy all day long. Fortunately, they go to school. But when we have winter vacation in half a month, it will be even worse. The noise will be so loud that the roof will be lifted off."
My mother shook her head as she spoke in disgust.
Ye Huimei also said: "This also makes it look lively and popular. For example, in our family we only have Xiaoyu, who can't make a quarrel even if he wants to, and can't find a playmate if he wants to play."
"If you don't have time at work, just send them over and let Xiaoyu and Xiaojiu keep them company. They are just about the same age and can play together. The others are too big and will disappear in the blink of an eye."
Speaking of Ye Xiaoxi, she became impatient and refused to pay him for a long time.
"Have got~money~"
"Qian Qian~" Pei Yu also shouted after her.
Ye Xiaoxi urged twice and got impatient, so she went to pull down Ye Chenghai's pants, "Hurry up, money, money, give me money~"
Ye Chenghai's pants were almost pulled down by her.
Ye Chengyang also urged him, "Hurry up, you have to pay for your delay."
"This is what my mother asked you to compensate for. How dare you not give it to me? She will take away all your private money in the evening!"
Ye Chenghai was so angry that he had to reluctantly hand the one-dollar note he just took out to Ye Chengyang.
Heartache to the point of bleeding.
This was the only dollar he had, and he exchanged it with his third uncle specifically for the convenience of hiding it.
"You remember it, Ye Chengyang!"
"Remember, remember, I will definitely remember, hehe!" Ye Chengyang didn't take his threat to heart, and happily gave the money to Ye Chenghe, and then divided the spoils.
After getting the money, Ye Chenghe was happy and said, "Thank you, brother! Hahahaha, I picked up a dollar for nothing."
"Ye Chenghe, if I don't beat you to death later, I will take your last name!"
Ye Jingjing whispered: "Brother, we all have the same surname."
"Hahaha, you idiot!" Ye Chenghe slapped his thigh and laughed wildly.
"Damn it, Ye Chenghe..."
"Mom, my eldest brother scolded you, my eldest brother said damn you!"
Ye Chenghe caught the clue and ran over happily to tell Sister-in-law Ye, as if he could get Shang Fang's sword and kill his elder brother.
However, he was the one who cried bitterly in the end.
Sister-in-law Ye looked at his excited face, took the money directly from his hand lightly, and put it into her pocket.
Ye Chenghe's eyes grew wider and wider.
"Ah? Mother? This is my money!"
"What's your money? I also spent money on cloth and cotton to make your clothes. Is the compensation for you? If it's damaged, of course it's for me. What does it have to do with you?"
"No, of course the clothes you made for me are mine. My brother ruined my clothes, so of course he compensated me. How could you take my money away?"
"You eat mine, live in mine, wear mine, spend mine, use mine, what is yours? Your whole being was born of me."
"But I asked my eldest brother for compensation, and I promised Yangyang to give him half."
"Then you take fifty cents of your private money and share it with him."
"How can you take my private money..."
Ye Chenghe was so depressed that he was asked to pay for it instead. Shouldn't he earn half of it?
"You promised yourself, of course you have to make up for it with your own money."
When Ye Chenghai saw that his mother had taken away the money, but Ye Chenghe didn't get anything, he laughed and felt happy.
Ye Xiaoxi at her feet was about to go berserk and couldn't get the money for a long time. She put her hands on her hips angrily and stamped her feet with a frown on her face.
"Ah Hai! Give me money! Money, money!"
"Ah! Give it, give it, give it, give it to you..."
Ye Chenghe didn't get much luck, and all he could get from the bamboo basket was empty. Ye Chenghai felt relieved, so he simply gave the two little ones a dime each.
The two little girls, each holding a dime note in their hands, were so happy that they ran towards their respective mothers.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and pinched Ye Xiaoxi's little nose, "You're quite brave. You actually called him Ah Hai. How dare you know that your brother's name is Ah Hai?"
Ye Xiaoxi excitedly crawled into her arms, "Hug!"
She held the child on her lap and said to Ye Chengyang: "Just have a joke, don't wait there, Chenghe's money has been confiscated, there is no money to share with you, go and have fun by yourself."
Ye Chengyang flattened his mouth in disappointment, and then walked towards Ye Cheng Lake, cursing in his heart: Brother Cheng He is so useless, so stupid, it was confiscated, so stupid, he still got in there by himself.
Sister-in-law Ye said with a smile: "He agreed to share half of the money, but of course he had to pay for it. Everyone is very good at hiding private money now. I don't know how much money I have, so I just want to get some out of their hands. Hurry up.
Go get the money."
Ye Chenghe wanted to cry but had no tears.
Stealing the chicken but losing the rice is probably the case with him.
Ye Chengyang was instantly happy again.
Ye Chenghai also gloated that he was not the only one bleeding badly.
See if Ye Chenghe dares to trick him in the future.
Kill a thousand people and injure yourself eight hundred.
Ye Yaodong also enjoyed their big show. The two souls of the opera each played a big game, and no one got the advantage. Everyone else took advantage, and they were the big winners.
Ye Chenghe was also very straightforward. Since he was asked to share the money, he happily went home and took out the money and gave it to Ye Chengyang.
However, he was afraid that Ye Chenghai would hit him, so he carefully went to the back door and did not dare to go through the front door, which was blocked by Ye Chenghai.
Ye Chenghai just looked at him pitifully, planning to watch him bleed heavily first, and then find a chance to beat him after that, so as not to beat him now and let him avoid the chance of heavy bleeding. How could this work?
A group of children all got free money. Just when they heard the sound of jingling, someone was selling maltose with a load, and everyone rushed over to buy maltose.
Ye Chenghe was bleeding, but he went to buy sweets happily as usual.
However, as soon as I bought it, when I opened my mouth to lick it, Ye Chenghai snatched it away and put it in his mouth.
He dared not speak out in anger, he could only stare at Ye Chenghai's back.
Not long after he had been beaten, he had lost a large sum of money, and he was so arrogant in front of him. Now he dared to provoke him again, and he wished he could keep his tail between his legs.
Aguang just felt envious when he saw the noisy children, and he also thought about having more children. Originally, his father only had one son, but now he is almost 30 and has no son, which is really sad.
In rural areas, people who don't have a son will be looked down upon. Even when Huimei goes out, there are a lot of people asking her when she will have another child.
She could only smile and say that the policy did not allow it and she would have to wait five years.
In fact, she was also very anxious. As the Aguang family's wealth became stronger and stronger, she also wanted to give birth to a son as soon as possible, otherwise she might not be able to keep the family business.
There are many people who eat extremely hard.
It was also because he got married too late. He didn't have much money in the first few years, his father wasn't at home much, he didn't have a mother, and no one helped him.
In the past two years, it has been like riding a rocket, following Dongzi and constantly rising.
After A Guang was envious, he asked Ye Yaodong, "What time will we go to the crock factory tomorrow morning?"
"Eight o'clock?"
"It's okay. In the winter, it gets late in the morning. It doesn't get up until six o'clock. I just sleep until I wake up naturally. It's not that cold when I get up at eight o'clock and go out."
"Well, anyway, we'll be there just by riding a motorcycle."
Father Ye turned around and suggested: "Why don't you just drive the tractor? Go to the factory to hurry up and see how many stocks are in stock. Can you drive back first? It's just a matter of convenience anyway. Isn't it hard to buy gasoline for motorcycles?
?Spare it."
Ye Mu also agreed, "Yes, you have to go there anyway, so just drive the tractor and bring back as many quantities as you want. I'll filter it first, otherwise I'll wait for them to deliver the goods. Who knows when? Filter it a day earlier."
Come out and you can be sent to the city earlier."
"That's okay too."
The plan to ride a motorcycle was blocked again, and Aguang was just happy in vain.
However, before he could drive the tractor the next day, the factory took the lead in sending a batch of large tanks by truck, which saved him a trip.
As soon as the truck entered the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers. When asked about Ye Yaodong's family, everyone pointed in the direction of the beach, and the truck drove over smoothly.
Ye Yaodong happened to be at the door of the workshop. When he heard the movement of the truck, he ran out to take a look, quickly guided the truck to the workshop, and then called his younger brother to unload the goods.
A truck stacked high for transportation can only carry twenty or thirty large and small tanks.
The driver explained that he would deliver one batch today and another batch tomorrow, and the following batches would be delivered one after another.
He ordered a total of two hundred in the first half of the month. He would first filter out a batch that was almost fermented and sell it in the market. When it was sold out, if the big tank was empty, he could take it back and reuse it.
.
After unloading the large vat, Ye Yaodong ordered the boys to clean it first, taking advantage of the sun to dry it naturally for a day.
After his mother gets off work in the evening, ask her to find a few aunts to help her take the time to filter it first. This can only be done if her mother is present.
The main thing is that her mother knows best which barrels were fermented at what time, so she has to supervise and watch which barrels are filtered by several aunts.
She is not really needed to do the work, there are a few boys doing the work, she only needs to direct and supervise them.
The next day, I handed over the work to several aunts in advance, and she was not needed. Ah Qing would also watch and help.
The workshop has also begun to be busy with work. It was killing fish and drying fish all day long, but now two or three more people have been added to filter the fish sauce.
The workers building the wall next door were also working enthusiastically. One side was all men, and the other side, except for a few younger men, were all women.
Even Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye came over to help earn wages when they had nothing to do.
In the first half of the year, because he had to collect dried mussels and dried sea melon seeds, the women in the village went out to sea with him intermittently for a long time to pry the shells and seafood from the stone walls.
In those few months, all the shellfish on the nearby islands were almost plundered. The harvest was not very good later, and fewer people went out. He also didn't have these dry goods for a long time.
After half a year of recuperation, it is estimated that the island will grow a little more, but now that the weather is cold, these women now have work in the workshops and will not think of going out to the sea to dig shellfish again.
Ye Yaodong doesn't have anything like dried mussels. Although it lacks some varieties, the workshop has recently increased its productivity and produced many varieties of dried fish.
The items he often sells this year include dried dragon head fish, dried balang fish, dried skinned fish, dried eel, dried squid, dried sardines, shrimps, etc. They are all relatively common and are basically available all year round.
For example, the seasonal toad fish are being dried like crazy recently. There are power boats in the village that can go out to put sticky nets, and all of them are being dried and sold to him.
A Cai's side has been harvesting clam fish for him recently. In addition to large pieces of dried shrimps and dried clam fish, the workshop now has a smaller proportion of other bits and pieces of fish.
Since November, the middle-aged women have been killing people from morning till night with the knife.
The scale of Ye Yaodong's workshop is also beginning to take shape.
It was deserted in the first half of the year, except for the occasional killing of a batch of fish, and a few boys taking turns watching there.
Now in the second half of the year, since the weather has turned cold, work has started in full swing. Ye Yaodong collects more and more fresh fish every day. In addition, he filters and carries fish sauce there, which makes it even more lively and full of life.
.
Some good-hearted villagers would come to the door of his workshop to look around when they had nothing to do.
After all, I am really curious. People never stop working every day. Dried fish are dried in the workshop all day long. Now even the open space next to where the wall is still being built has been arranged to dry.
Ye Yaodong has not gone to sea since December. He has asked his father to take Chen Jiarong out to collect the nets. He has to guard the workshop to help receive the goods, supervise the workers to dry, and supervise the filtration. There is an open space on the other side.
Also building a wall.
The day after the building was completed, their whole family became crazy busy. Ah Qing was busy wandering around the house alone.
Even Ye Xiaoxi ran around alone during the day, wandering around and playing by herself. Only the old lady occasionally looked at her when she didn't run far.
After dinner in the evening, Lin Xiuqing also started to press the computer with her account book. Recently, she has been pressing the computer after dinner every day.
"Wei Ling...Wei Ling..."
"Wei Ling...Wei Ling..."
"Can't you turn the sound off?"
"If it is turned off, I won't know what the number is. When the sound is turned on, it can also report the number, which prevents me from pressing and calculating incorrectly. If you feel noisy, just go and lie down in the room by yourself."
"What are you thinking about now?"
"Calculating Ah Cai's fish expenses in the past few days, I have to pay him a sum tomorrow."
"Oh, he can earn enough just by collecting goods for us now. He can't make much money from the fragmentary goods at the dock anyway."
"No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. Fortunately, we gave him the job of collecting fresh fish. Otherwise, all the villagers with boats would be drying dried toad fish for us now. He would have to drink from the northwest.
The wind has gone."
"It's only one winter. People don't go out to sea much in winter. Even if we don't collect dry goods, they just sit there and bask in the sun. When the weather gets warmer and there are fewer toad fish, everyone will trawl as usual."
At this time, there were various sounds of running around upstairs, not only upstairs in his house, but also in the upstairs next door.
Every day after dinner, they all run upstairs. Even though the upstairs is still empty, they still enjoy it.
"Mom, when will you put a mattress on the floor for us? We want to sleep on the floor at night. I told you yesterday."
"Don't bother, I'm not free now."
"Then can we move it up ourselves?"
"Whatever you want, don't make any noise." Lin Xiuqing was settling accounts and had no time to care about them. She did whatever she liked.
After the two brothers got the order, they immediately ran down again and jumped down when there were only two or three steps left.
"Then let's move it ourselves, hey?"
"Mom, did we really move upstairs by ourselves?"
"Mom? Let's sleep upstairs at night, okay? Mom..."
Ye Chenghu didn't get a response after saying that, so he walked closer and closer and kept asking, becoming more and more cautious as he asked.
Without an accurate answer, he felt uneasy. He was afraid that after he made his own decisions, when his mother freed up her hand, he would be reckoned with by his wife. He would be scolded for a small thing and beaten for a big one.
He wouldn't dare to ask questions clearly.
Lin Xiu was making a lot of noises about this or that when she was settling her accounts, which made them start to get irritated.
There happened to be a whip on the table. Recently, I had been using it to scare Ye Xiaoxi and make her eat well. Now it happened to come in handy again.
She frowned, took the whip and hit her calf skillfully, "I told you not to make a noise, not to make a noise, are you deaf? You keep asking, keep asking..."
Ye Chenghu didn't have time to defend himself and was hit twice. He quickly dodged behind and ran towards the back door.
"It's so fierce, I'll just ask, but I won't let anyone ask...oh..."
The back door was dark, so he didn't look carefully, so he fell down and got a lot of goose poop on his buttocks, and his hands were stained everywhere.
He wiped the stone on the side twice in disgust, quickly took a ladle of water, washed his hands, and quietly went into the house to take off his pants.
Ye Chengyang hurried back to the house when his painting style was wrong, not daring to touch his mother's brow.
"Brother, why are you naked? Where are your pants?"
"It's none of your business. You asked me to ask my mother, so I got beaten."
"Yes, I asked you to ask, and my mother said it's okay, then can't we just move in? Why do you have to keep asking, don't you deserve to be beaten? You know that she has a score to settle.
Not available."
"Don't I want to hear her say it for sure?"
"You're stupid! Come on, let's just put the mattress underneath the bed on the floor upstairs."
"Mom won't be angry, right? Then if she is angry, I will say it was you who said it."
"Why are you becoming more and more stupid, like Brother Chenghe?"
"Nonsense, I'm much smarter than him. Move it quickly, move it quickly, let's lift it up together, while mother is not paying attention when she is settling the accounts."
Lin Xiuqing kept pressing the computer, while Ye Yaodong sat aside and watched the little movements of his two sons, turning a blind eye.
“How much money are we spending every month now?”
"That's a lot. The fish-killing aunt originally called 4 last month. In the past two days, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law have freed up after building the house and have gone to kill the fish together. There are 6 of them.
, Fish Sauce Filtration hired four more people today, and these ten people will probably have to work continuously."
"There are 6 Chen Shi and the others, and my parents also need to calculate their wages. In the light workshop, we estimate that it will cost 700 yuan a month in the future. Then in the city, my parents' wages will also be paid. This
It’s going to be eight hundred.”
"I won't talk about the workers who are still building the house for now. We will have to wait until the construction is completed to calculate how many days they have worked."
"Also, the tractors are transporting stones back and forth every day. Although we don't need to hire anyone else, our own tractors will do, but diesel is also an expense."
Ye Yaodong was feeling heartbroken for her. When he heard that the tractor saved money, he was immediately reassured, "Oh, then this province saves a lot more money than asking Uncle Zhou to do it."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, "You've spent a lot of money, don't you think you can save money by just paying for diesel?"
"A dozen workers in the workshop are there to fence the wall, which is equivalent to 30 yuan a day, which is 900 yuan a month. Rice and meat also cost a lot of money. It is estimated that the cost here is 1,000 yuan a month."
"Fortunately, in the city, every ten days and a half, we can collect a sum of money and come back. It seems like we haven't spent much out, but we have taken it in and spent it out."
It was right to think so. Ye Yaodong relaxed again and crossed his legs carelessly, leaning against the wall.
"It's good if we don't make enough to earn enough. I still hope that the money in our hands will keep growing."
"It's coming soon. The money will be paid soon. Ah Cai's place sends two to three thousand catties every day. Today you told him to send more tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter. If you post more, just post more. Anyway, if you put it in the sun and keep it as inventory, it won't disappear. If you put it there, it will naturally repay the capital in a steady stream next year. Now it's just paying the cost in advance, and next year's profits will be all
of."
"Fortunately, I still have tens of thousands of yuan on hand, so I didn't spend half of it as I originally planned. Otherwise, if you had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of kilograms of inventory, we would have to spend tens of thousands of yuan to put it in."
As soon as Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she felt bad. "Ten thousand yuan is too much. We can't put all the goods in the house. At most, we can only stock up to 100,000 kilograms. If we only spend 20,000 yuan in stock, we can
Well, I have to keep some money on hand for turnover."
"The fish sauce workshop is still being built there, and all of this still costs money, and at the end of the year, the ship still needs 8,000 yuan as the final payment."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that her calculation was correct, "Then we can just stock up on about 100,000 jins, and we should be able to sell it for more than half a year. Then we will replenish it in bits and pieces in the summer, and dry some squid by the way."
"
Lin Xiuqing nodded desperately and felt relieved.
This account really needs to be remembered every day, especially for Ah Cai, who has to go through it every day because there are too many goods and money coming in and out.
"I think the fish sauce filtered out last night and today is quite beautiful and fragrant. It also tastes good after being cooked today. In two or three days, I can take a cart to the city to test the water."
Lin Xiuqing nodded desperately, now waiting for the results.
Chapter completed!
