When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, she hurriedly greeted him.

"Why did you come back at this hour? The food is still hot in the pot. Let's eat first."

Ye Yaodong inserted the handle of the rocker directly into the iron railing on the window next to the door, took off the hat on his head and gave it to her, "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands first."

Before going to wash his hands, he went back to his room and put the gun away.

He put all the guns at home on the top of the cabinet. No matter how much the children took them, they couldn't touch them. Ordinary people couldn't see them when they entered the house. When he took them, he would step on the stool without even exposing his feet.

On the outside, it is well hidden.

The children at home are too naughty, so they can only be placed in a higher place.

Lin Xiuqing followed closely behind him, "Did it go well?"

"Almost."

"Do you want to continue delivering tomorrow? If you want to continue delivering tomorrow, then get up earlier and go earlier to avoid being delayed so late."

"No, it's the same time today. I was delayed by something today. Aguang went to rent a house and was delayed for a while. I went to the army to deliver fish sauce and dried fish. I ran back and forth twice. When I came back to the county town, I visited Chen again.

Director, we also went to the shipyard."

"Ah, I asked you why you came back so late today. It turns out that you have traveled to so many places. No wonder, I am still worried. When the meal was ordered, dad kept saying that it was almost the end of the year and it was not peaceful. He was worried that you would encounter

What's up."

"Crow's Mouth! Where is my daughter? Where is grandma?"

No matter what time he comes back at night, all the children in the family will be around him. Where are the old and the young today?

"Your daughter ran next door to play with her sisters, while grandma was chanting sutras in the house."

"Oh, I forgot about my daughter's little doll. Anyway, I won't be running around tomorrow. Then I will go to the city and buy a little doll for her."

"Just get used to it."

"It's just a doll. What do you have? She wants to have something that others have. It's normal. Buy one for her to play with."

"It's a good idea to buy one to replace the big one in her hand. It's so dirty that she can't bear to wash it for me all day long, so I have to secretly wash it while she's asleep or awake.

"

Ye Yaodong washed his hands and sat down to eat, only to feel hungry.

Director Chen's wife wanted to cook noodles for them in the evening, but he said he had already eaten and was too embarrassed to let others cook, and he has been hungry until now.

"This toad fish maw and fish liver needs to be fried with some chili pepper to make it delicious. Remember to add some chili pepper tomorrow. I told you many times but you didn't add it."

He commented while eating. He had been drying large quantities of toad fish there for the past two months, and the fried cod liver and fish maw at home never failed.

Chewing the maw of the toad fish in my mouth, it feels very chewy, but lacks a bit of spiciness.

"Son, they can't eat spicy food..."

"Then tell them not to eat it and eat something else. You need to stir-fry it with some chili pepper to make it fragrant and delicious."

"Then you can eat it alone and tell others not to eat it?"

"Then you will fry two portions tomorrow? Take out one portion first, then add the chili pepper and stir-fry the rest?"

"Eat what you have, some people are picky about what they eat."

"Putting chili peppers really makes it taste better." Ye Yaodong shook his head, feeling that she didn't understand.

The food they ate at the beach was really too light. Everything on the table was steamed and boiled, and only a little bit of chili was added to the braised fish and hot and sour soup. After a long time, he felt a little tasteless.

"How about drying those fish maws? Don't let me give them away. Store them. When you want to eat them, soak them. Cut them into small pieces. They are chewy and the more you eat them, the more delicious they become."

"Whatever, if you like to eat it, tomorrow I will ask the aunts who kill the fish to pick it out separately, wash it and dry it, and let them distribute the liver among themselves and take it back for frying."

Ye Yaodong nodded, his mouth full of rice, and said nothing.

In the past, his mother would send a large amount of fish maws and fish livers to neighbors, relatives and friends every day. He didn't care about the worthless things that no one wanted, and just dealt with them as she pleased.

He was hungry just now, and he felt good about eating it. He felt that he could keep it dry and put it there, so he could eat whatever he wanted without having to wait for the season.

It's a waste to give it away to people like this every day. I guess these people are tired of eating it every day. They must have taken it back to feed the pigs and chickens and ducks.

"Then for our boat, did you say when the final payment will be made and when it will be launched?"

"After half a month, we will check the specific date first, and then I will go over and tell the factory so that they must get it done before this date."

"It happens to be the New Year's Eve. I'll just drive back to celebrate the New Year's Eve. I'll go to sea after the New Year."

"Yes, so just prepare the money."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "I thought you were going to say you were ready to have a happy New Year, but I didn't expect you were preparing money."

"Nothing wrong, both are fine. Prepare the money first, and then have a happy and prosperous year."

"Eat quickly, stop talking nonsense, take a shower after eating, and go to bed."

"Well, where are the two boys?"

"You just thought of asking now?"

"No, I thought they were playing upstairs, so I didn't ask. I haven't seen them since I came back in the past, but I didn't hear anything for so long. I was a little confused, so I asked again."

"Run upstairs next door."

"When will they have their winter vacation? Your elder brother asked me to wait until the winter vacation and send Ayuan and the others to a store in the city to help him."

"Then A Yuan should be hopeless."

"Why is it that he is in the city? People who don't know about it don't know that he has never been out in the city. Why is he going to get gold plating? When he comes back during the Chinese New Year, he will definitely be jealous of his large group of friends and friends. He can pretend to be good."

Lin Xiuqing, who was sitting next to him, was also smiling happily, "Then it's a big sacrifice. You go to the city to work for a month and come back just to be proud of yourself for a few days."

"That's enough. How many people want to work with us but they don't have a chance. When will they have their holiday?"

"They said the final exam is tomorrow. I'll get the score report a week after the exam, and then I'll have a holiday."

"Then A Yuan and the others should be about the same. I'll take a look. If you come back early tomorrow, I'll go to your hometown to take a look. If it's only in the past two days, I'll pick them up at the right time."

"It's up to you."

"When I went out today, I saw my second aunt coming to see my mother. Why did she come?"

"What else can I do? Ask my mother to help her find out if there is a suitable woman in the nearby village to be Brother Asheng's wife. She said that my mother is familiar with the nearby villages."

"I guess so."

Lin Xiuqing pursed her lips, "My mother said that the second aunt asked those with better conditions at home not to move things to their parents' house. If the widows are divorced, it is best not to bring children with them, and those with sons must not be allowed. And at home.

Having many brothers means that there are many brothers in the family, which means that the inheritance can lead to more sons."

"Also, people should be good, obedient, and quick at work. It's best not to be a widow. It's hard to say that a widow can predict his fate, Croft. It's best to give him a young girl. It doesn't matter if she's a little older, but

There must be no physical defects.”

"There are a lot of requirements. No wonder she didn't follow these standards when she was looking for Wang Lizhen after being naked for so many years."

"I heard someone say that they were just drinking together and drinking too much. The second aunt was also a little drunk, and she was given a lot of ecstasy soup. She was coaxed to the point where she didn't know what to do, and then she came down and gave her the horoscope.

The matchmaker went to make the horoscopes match the next day and finalize the matter, so Brother Asheng was tricked."

Ye Yaodong's face was full of disgust.

"It would be great if there is a woman who is willing to be with Brother Asheng now. I am still picky. As long as she has a better personality, is not too ugly, has no physical defects, and can live a good life, that's all."

"Do you still care about whether she is a widow and whether she has children? If she is not a widow and has not been divorced, can she get her turn? I still think about the eldest daughter, and I don't think about how old my biological brother is. In a few years, I will probably be unable to do what he wants.

Already."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, "What did you say?"

"Everything you say is true."

"My mother also said the same thing as you, she just said that she would search and see for herself, and then she also told the second aunt not to interfere. Brother A-Sheng is the one who is living the life. When the time comes, just come over and let Brother A-Sheng choose for himself.

.”

"That's right, it's not like I'll spend the rest of my life with her. There are so many things to do."

"My mother said she would look for him in the past few days. If everything goes well, she would let him marry a wife before the New Year."

Ye Yaodong listened for so long, and only nodded now, "This is good. If you have money or not, marry a wife to celebrate the New Year. Anyway, we are married for the second time, and there is no need for any ceremony. The family conditions are there, and the woman

If you are willing, just look for a better day, wear red clothes, and ride a bicycle to pick you up. Don’t invite guests to dinner, just have a meal together as a family."

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Mom, I told you the same thing during dinner."

"That's why we call it mother and son. My mother is more reliable. It's been three or four days since the house was built at home, but the eldest brother and the second brother haven't said anything about taking my parents over?"

"They all mentioned that if they didn't come over, they said they would stay there to look at the house and the pig pen. No one looked at them and they were worried. They have lived there for so many years and they think it is good to live there. Every household

The houses are almost the same. Anyway, there is no rain in winter, and there are no typhoons, so there is no wind. It would be nice if we could get some sunshine."

"Forget it, anyway, the stone house is very strong and there is no damage at all. The roof leakage is the most problem. Just ask the carpenters to replace the doors and windows first."

"The fish sauce in Mom's house has been filtered, and today Dad has pushed the wooden barrels over there on a pallet truck."

"Well, it's okay to move them all over. Put them all over there and produce them together, which saves a little bit here and a little bit there."
