Chapter 1048 A Guang’s Face Darkened (10,000 Words, Monthly Vote +22)
How is your eldest brother's business? The business of opening a breakfast shop there should be pretty good this year, right? People come and go, and it happens to be the busiest time in the early morning. "Second Sister-in-law Ye asked curiously.
"It's not bad. Didn't we also go to the city and see it? I didn't go there again later. If you ask me, I don't know very well. It should be better than farming. Otherwise, this year, They definitely won’t be able to continue working, let alone renewing the lease, they will definitely go back to continue farming.”
Lin Xiuqing didn't tell the truth. Anyway, the second sister-in-law just asked a few questions casually out of curiosity, and she also faltered a few words.
Originally, her eldest brother was hesitant about whether to continue renting this year or move to a store he bought. His sister-in-law was also worried about the rent and had been thinking about moving to her own store. That was what her father said two days ago. They rent for another year.
In the past two years, several nearby shops have opened one after another, including breakfast shops. The customer flow has been divided, but the flow of people has increased. If they move to another place, regular customers will not be able to find a place, and they may lose more money by then. big.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xianghui still plans to rent for another year. When the surrounding restaurants become more lively, new traffic will be filled, and he will not be afraid that regular customers will not be able to find a place and the traffic will be divided.
"That's true, it must be money-making... Oh, if I had known we wouldn't have bought that store, we would have just bought the boat. See if you rent the boat now, you can get 200 yuan a month. Obviously It’s the same money, but this one gets you money faster.”
Sister-in-law Ye patted her thigh with regret, and continued: "If you buy the boat earlier, you can make money faster. The shop is still idle there, who knows if it can be rented out? Oops... Ah Hua, otherwise I will sell the shop Right? It’s useless to keep this in hand, the income is not as much as the fishing boat, and the fishing boat is not afraid of no one to rent it. "
As soon as these words came out, Sister-in-law Ye also became a little bit confused. Her face, which was still a little happy, also wrinkled her brows.
"So, after all that, it's still a good deal to buy a fishing boat. You'll get your money back in one year..."
Ye Yaodong frowned and put down the tea in his hand. It's good, since it can also involve the issue of shop rental.
Ye Yaohua was a little hesitant after hearing this. Calculating it this way, it was indeed more cost-effective to buy a boat. At a similar price, the fishing boat would pay back faster, and the shops in the city were still idle.
"Dongzi, what did you say?"
"If it were me, I would definitely leave it alone. Fishing boats have risks and will suffer wear and tear, but shops in the city will not. The prospects are there, and they will only become more and more valuable. What's more, have you ever noticed that when we signed the contract? , the store has no time limit, it just has a management fee."
That's why I say that the current laws are very imperfect, and some of them don't have clear deadlines. It will be impossible in the future.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua thought about it for a moment, but they also looked confused and couldn't remember clearly. They didn't know a few words in the first place. What's more, in their understanding, how could there be a deadline?
If you buy it, doesn’t it belong to them?
In the past, how could the landlord’s shop have any time limit?
Isn't this just like land? Once divided or bought, it belongs to them. Where is the time limit?
"Is there a time limit for this?" Everyone said in unison without knowing why.
"It will be there in the future. You can decide for yourself whether you want to take care of the present or the future. If you have loose money and there is no other place to spend money, I suggest that it is better for you to leave it alone. After all, you may want to buy something in the future. It’s not easy to buy, and there may be an expiration date if you buy it.”
Today's trawlers will only be worth hundreds of thousands in the future, and they will have been damaged over the years. The penny collected every month will feel like a lot, but it will never keep up with the pace of inflation.
What's more, they don't know how to invest. If they do, it must be because the money comes quickly and they don't understand anything, so they might as well buy fixed assets and leave them alone.
After all, if you earn 2,000 yuan a year now, what if you get 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in cash in 10 years? According to the urine of his brothers and sisters-in-law, it is still there, and the store has been there for 10 years. By 1995, it will have multiplied many times, and it will not only cost 20,000 yuan.
The main ship will still be damaged, but the store will not and will only become more and more valuable.
Sister-in-law Ye hesitated for a moment, "Is this what you said? Did the market store management say so?"
"Yes, it's all what I said. The official didn't say that. It doesn't matter if you want to hear it or not."
Second Sister-in-law Ye said: "You have so much money, it doesn't matter if you put some of it in the shop. We don't have much money to begin with..."
"But you don't have big expenses. You will have another boat soon, and you can make more money. When you get the big boat next year, you will earn more and more. What's the difference between the 3,000 yuan that the shop put there?"
"But after switching to a boat, I can make more money immediately."
"Then see for yourselves."
Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye both looked at their men.
Ye Yaohua struggled for a while. He looked at Dongzi and then at his wife, but he still felt a little cruel.
"We'd better listen to Dongzi. Anyway, we don't have anything to spend more money on. We will soon have another boat at home, and we can make more money. Let's put the shop there first. If you can rent it, you can rent it. If you can't, we can rent it. It’s okay, just keep the cash there, we can’t spend all the money to buy a boat.”
Second Sister-in-law Ye pinched him, and he bared his teeth and glared at her fiercely.
With so many people present, Sister-in-law Ye couldn't argue or quarrel with him in front of so many people, so she had to put it down first and talk about it after she got back.
When Ye Yaopeng heard that Ye Yaohua also planned to let it go, the balance in his heart slowly tilted towards them. Originally, his wife said he was inclined to sell it directly.
"Then you all plan to keep it, so let me keep it first. Anyway, uncle Dongzi has already said that he will rent it this year, so I should do it. How can I regret not renting it again?"
Ye Yaopeng was worried that these two were secretly making money. He would not regret it by patting his thighs. After all, he was not the only one who left the shop there. Ah Cai and his friends were also there.
It doesn't matter if they don't make money, he is afraid that if they make a lot of money in the future, he won't have a share.
Harvest is an example. There is no point regretting it now. He can only watch them share hundreds of dollars per share every month, which almost makes him depressed.
"You see for yourselves. I can't make decisions for you. I'm also afraid of blocking your way of making money. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law blame me."
"No, no, no... no way, it's up to us to decide."
"Yes, we decided it ourselves, and what you said makes sense."
Ye Yaosheng and his eldest cousin listened to them discussing the store and kept silent. They just listened from the side. They couldn't afford it anyway. They had never even been to the city, so they could only listen curiously.
Seeing that they had finished talking and it was dark outside, they left.
Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were also eager to whisper to their men, and hurriedly took their two brothers back to their respective homes.
Ye Yaodong's house suddenly became empty, leaving only a table full of tea bowls.
Lin Xiuqing also looked at him curiously, "Are you serious, the store still has a deadline? Then who wants it? Isn't it free if I buy it? It's not my own, so what's the difference between that and renting?"
"I don't know, I'll just tell you. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Anyway, we really don't need that little money, and there are a lot of ships. It has little to do with us. If they can listen, then just listen. If they can't, just listen. Just sell it and save yourself the trouble."
"Well, if they sell it, it will save my second sister-in-law from always asking me if there are any shops in the city that I want to rent. My eldest brother can simply buy the one from his place."
"Ignore them, just do the math. How much will the three ships earn in total this month?"
"One is 277.83, one is 248.14, and one is 245.8. The total is 771.77 yuan."
"That's quite a lot. We haven't settled the accounts for the Harvest this month yet, so we should be able to get more than a thousand yuan, which means we can earn more than 2,000 yuan this month."
"About that, my dad's account has not been collected for more than half a month. It's the end of the month. Let's see when we can find time to collect it. It's just the end of the month. I also have to settle the account. When the flood season comes, start I'll be busy drying squid, and you won't have time to go to the city."
"Okay, I should be back early tomorrow at noon. Then I will drive the tractor and deliver another batch of dried fish and fish sauce from home. The truck will not be empty."
"Please help me put away the bowls. I'll put away the money first."
Lin Xiu counted the money in her hand, going in and out, which was equivalent to paying out more than 200 yuan at night.
It's better to get their ship as soon as possible and separate directly, each doing his or her own thing. It's not like his family has no one.
"You can collect it later. First, give me Ah Caina's bill of goods. I'll go to him to ask for an account. It's just in time to clear all the accounts for the evening, and you can put away the bill completely. Otherwise, it won't be until today So far, some have been knotted and some have not, and it is easy to get mixed up with the cargo orders from tomorrow onwards."
"That's okay too."
She rummaged through the bills of goods that her eldest cousin and Brother Asheng had calculated just now. She took out the bills that had not been signed and gave them to him to check out and collect the money. Then this batch of bills could be clipped and locked in the drawer, and there was no need to take it out.
Although the money earned belongs to their family, no one needs to share the money, and the accounts are kept for themselves, but they still have to clearly understand the monthly income and expenditure, otherwise they will not even make money.
Ye Yaodong took the bill of goods to collect the bill. When he came back, he was surprised to see Ye Chenghe happily at the door, telling other friends that he would go to sea in two days and pick squid together.
That expression was as exciting as he wanted. He had already forgotten how hard A Hai looked last year.
"Mom, can I go with you at night? I don't need to sleep."
"Idiot!" Ye Chenghai glanced at Ye Chenghe with disgust, "Mom, can Chenghe go with you? I'll stay at home and feed the pigs. I also need to feed the pigs, chickens and ducks at home..."
"Here you go, don't think about being lazy. It's up to your sister to hunt down the hay and feed the pigs. You can go out to sea with me tomorrow night."
"But I want to go at night..." Ye Chenghe said eagerly.
Sister-in-law Ye also disliked him very much, "When it comes to you, don't cry, don't complain that you don't want to go, don't complain that you are tired."
He patted his chest and said, "Definitely not. I am better than my eldest brother. I am better than my eldest brother. My eldest brother is a rookie. No, the third uncle said he is a rookie!"
Ye Chenghai snorted disdainfully and didn't bother with him, "There are times when you cry."
"I won't be as useless as you."
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"
Ye Chenghe had already taken a few steps away from him, and then hurriedly ran into the house, "Mom, eldest brother is not satisfied with your arrangement."
"If you don't want to go, you have to go."
Ye Chengjiang also leaned next to Ye Chenghai at this time, "Brother Ahai, my mother just told us that she will go to sea with you tonight to have a look first, and she will also ask me to go to sea with Xiuxiu tomorrow. You were rich last year." Do you want it? Did your mother give you wages?"
"Shit, I don't even have a hair on my head. The wages my third uncle calculated for me all went into my mother's pocket, so I don't want to go. My mother is too stingy. Last year, my third uncle gave me a football to comfort me."
Ye Chengjiang saw Ye Yaodong walking to the door and looking at them, and looked into his eyes with hope.
"If you work hard, you will be paid. Whether you can get some out of your mother's hands depends on your ability."
The wages are quite a lot, dozens of dollars, not just a few cents in a workshop, and they can be said to be discounted as snacks.
"That's difficult."
"Just wait and work for nothing. Fortunately, everyone has no money, and Ayuan didn't come over. He was the one who made a lot of money last year, which made me mad."
"So, Brother Ahai, are you angry that you don't have any money, or are you angry that Brother Ayuan has made so much money?"
"Of course I have them all..."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about them. His mother had to find strategies by herself. If he was there to guide her every day, she would develop bad habits.
Early the next morning, he went to sea with his father as usual.
Today, they are not so anxious. The father and son went to collect the longline first. Anyway, the island can be seen on the sea. It is not very far away. They can clearly see that there are no fishing boats around, so they are not worried. not busy.
After another good harvest, in addition to several baskets full of fish, there was also a large bucket of squid, more than half the amount than yesterday. The father and son also knew that the number of squid coming to lay eggs today had increased again.
However, Ye Yaodong originally planned to go to the city to collect accounts in the afternoon, and he couldn't delay it too late, so he and his father stayed for two more hours. After harvesting another basket, they immediately headed back home.
The goods had just come out in the past two days, and the price was a bit high. He didn't want to keep them home to show off, so he sold them all directly to Ah Cai. Each pound cost more than 30 cents. Today, the squid alone sold for almost 30 yuan.
As soon as he got home, he asked someone to move the goods to the tractor. He only had a scribbled meal, and then he ran into the city without stopping, taking only one person with him.
Although it was quite late to go to the city at this time, there was nothing I could do, and I would probably not be able to get away tomorrow.
By the time they arrived in the city, it was already dark, and the aquatic products wholesale market was so deserted that there wasn't even a single person there.
Ye Yaodong asked his younger brother to wait aside. He ran to a nearby village and called his father-in-law to open the door to unload the goods. If he drove the tractor directly into the village, the noise would be too loud, it would easily disturb the people, and the movement would be too loud. .
Father Lin didn't know that he would come today. He also had a heavy heart at night. Even his brother-in-law and A Guang got up and followed him out.
"Why are you here at this time? Did you just return to the shore? Why don't you drag two nets and dock again at night? The market is still closed at the moment."
"No, the fishing boat is broken and is being repaired in the factory. I drove the tractor here. Let's talk as we go. There are quite a lot of things going on here."
The four of them walked out together, listening to him talk about recent events. A Guang's blood boiled and he became excited.
"Damn it, is it so exciting? Why did you just say it now?"
"It's only now that I have time to come over. It's almost the cuttlefish season. I want to take some time in the afternoon to come over and collect the bill and deliver the goods. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be available."
Father Lin also said: "I'm just telling you why you haven't come over to collect the bill for so long this time, and the weather seems to be okay recently. Logically, you shouldn't delay going to sea. Then you have to be more careful in the future, and don't worry about it in the province." It's docked..."
"There is no difference. We are not familiar with the city's docks. If so much goods are brought ashore, we can't finish them in one trip. We don't know how many times we have to haul them. Moreover, the way from the wholesale market to the dock is even more dangerous."
"It would be great if there was a savings bank around this market. It would be more convenient. Otherwise, whoever dares to wander around with a lot of money will be killed if others see it."
"It should happen in the future."
"Your ship has been sent for repairs, but the Harvest doesn't have one. My father didn't know how to come to the city and take me back. I haven't been back for more than half a month."
"Haha, your father probably didn't know what to tell you, so he didn't take you back."
Ye Yaodong knew as soon as he thought about it that Pei's father probably didn't know how to organize words, and he probably wasn't that anxious to find another companion. If Aguang heard the gossip in the village when he went back, he would probably explode.
But, you always have to say it sooner or later. If he comes to collect the bill this time, Aguang will definitely give him a ride back. Pei Yu has not seen his biological father for so long, and he has missed him for a long time. , I even cried a lot yesterday.
Once in the village, he would immediately know what had happened recently.
Mouse’s ex-wife wants to be his stepmother! ! !
No matter how you think about it, it’s enough to explode.
A Guang was confused and didn't understand what he meant. What did he mean that his father didn't know how to tell him?
These days, not only transportation is underdeveloped, but communication is even less developed. How can he know what is happening thousands of miles away?
The number of people who can call him is also extremely limited. These days, few people will call unless necessary. The call is just to report that he is safe.
"Is there something going on here? What happened? My dad didn't know what to tell me?"
"Haha, you may have a stepmother soon, you know?"
"Is it Aunt Ma next door? There's nothing hard to say about this. My dad wants to find a companion, so that's not bad. Anyway, we've been living next door to each other for decades. We all know each other very well. Aunt Ma He is also hard-working and capable, and can endure hardships, so he can live a life together with my father."
"I know several of his children very well. I used to take them to the mountains to play. The two eldest daughters follow me around every day. If I hadn't had a mother, I would have almost married him... Bah... haha... I just said it casually, haha..."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him sideways, "So, there are two more first loves?"
"Wherever you go, just playmates, I'm just talking nonsense."
"snort."
Don't tell him that there is an additional competitor for his stepmother's position.
Let him go back to the village to listen to the gossip.
Aguang also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the topic, "My father is already 50. I need to find a companion. In the future, I will have someone to take care of me when I get old. I will not be lonely, and I will have someone to talk to."
"Aren't you afraid of having more little brothers and sisters?"
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "You can worry more than me, so just raise her as your own son or daughter. Aren't all the older generations like this? Don't talk about the older generation. There were many in the village in the past few years."
"hehe."
"What do you mean by laughing? Also, when did my father and Aunt Ma get married? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know. You can ask your father when you go back."
"Isn't that what you wanted to tell me just now?"
"I don't want to talk about it now. You'll know when you get back."
A Guang originally thought it was just a simple matter and his father was looking for a partner again, but now that he meant it, there seemed to be a story in it?
What do you mean you'll find out when he gets back and then you're still lying?
"Is there something I don't know?"
"You'll find out when you get back."
"Selinmu, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it now? You'll find out when I get back. If you have to say half of it, you'll be in trouble."
"Anyway, you'll find out when you get back."
"Say it."
"You'll know when you get back."
A Guang had a stone stuck in his chest. He was so depressed that he wanted to strangle him to death.
Ye Yaodong also felt relieved, and finally realized how capable he was of choking his son when he was clear.
Sure enough, when I see someone running rampant, I want to strangle myself to death, but I can't help myself, I feel really comfortable all over my body.
Lin Xianghui changed the subject when he saw that they were talking about the same thing, and said with a smile: "Then you have another boat, how many are there?"
"Including the ones we just handed over, we currently have five on hand. They will all be rented out after the flood season."
"Awesome, but you have to be more careful in the future."
"Um."
"It's getting dark now, why don't you stay in the village for the night? When it gets dark, there will be more cars on the road, so it will be safer to go back then." Lin's father suggested.
Ye Yaodong thought about it and thought it was okay. He was not worried about going back with money like this.
But there’s no need to wait for dawn tomorrow.
"Three o'clock, maybe. It's almost like setting off at two or three in the morning. There are a lot of goods in the market that need to be shipped out at this time, and there will be more cars on the road. By then, it will be dawn after two hours of walking. The second half of the journey Don’t worry.”
"Okay, I'll call you when we get up."
"good."
There was no place to call at such a late hour. When he came out, he didn't tell Ah Qing that he wouldn't go back. He didn't know if she would be worried.
It’s just one night anyway.
After Ye Yaodong finished unloading the goods, he drove the tractor into the village, parked it in front of the rented house, and then went to his brother-in-law's place to make a bunk.
The reason why they didn't lay a floor in Aguangna was because they were afraid that pregnant women wouldn't be able to rest well, and they didn't have many quilts for those who were away from home.
Fortunately, it's not that cold now. Because Lin Xianghui's children lived here before and helped with the work, there is an extra quilt at home that can be used to cover them.
However, it felt quite strange to sleep on the same bed as a man. The young man's body was too full of energy, and he was not sleeping well. He almost didn't cover himself with the quilt in the second half of the night.
Moreover, his ears couldn't help but perk up whenever there was any movement on the bed, so he didn't sleep at all that night.
When Lin Xianghui and Sister Lin got up, he immediately sat up. It was actually only around 2 o'clock, but he couldn't lie down anymore.
Then, without even eating breakfast, he and his younger brother called Aguang, drove off on the tractor, followed the tractors and trucks on the road to the city, and then followed several tractors onto the main road.
When we were almost home, the sun jumped out from the other side of the mountain, dyeing half of the sky red.
Lin Xiuqing also waited all night without much sleep. When she heard the noise coming from the main room, she got up immediately. In fact, it was the sound of the old lady getting up to feed chickens and ducks and cook rice.
"It's not bright yet, why are you up? Go back and sleep for a while. I'll cook breakfast."
"Dongzi didn't come back last night. I was a little worried. I didn't sleep all night. I thought he was back when I heard the noise."
"Ah? Dongzi didn't come back? Oh, why didn't he come back last night?"
"I don't know either. When I left, I didn't say I wouldn't be back in the evening. But it's already dark again and I didn't have to make a call."
"Will something happen?" The old lady was a little worried.
"It shouldn't be possible, right? He has two guns on the tractor, isn't it?"
"It's hard to say. These days are not peaceful. Who knows what might happen on the road? Alas, this kid didn't say anything when he went out. Why did he have to go to the city to collect the bill in the middle of the afternoon? Wait until the next day. Isn’t it too late to collect it? If you are really busy, let his father take others out to sea. The people invited are not just people who can only eat dry food..."
The old lady thought to herself and stood at the door, looking out. It was still a little short of dawn, but there was only a little morning light.
Lin Xiuqing watched the old lady sit at the door again, and she also sat in front of the stove and took over the cooking work.
The two women sat there, one mile away, waiting for dawn.
Until Ye's father arrived, he still hadn't seen Ye Yaodong.
Fortunately, the sun shone into the yard, and they also heard the sound of the tractor. The three of them walked outside the gate of the yard, and saw their tractor driving into the workshop, and their hearts suddenly returned to their stomachs.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back..."
"Why didn't you come back until now?"
When Ye Yaodong came out of the workshop, he saw three people standing in front of his house. He also knew that the two women were probably worried about him, and his father came over early in the morning to prepare him to go to sea.
"Why didn't you come back until now?"
When the others came up, the three of them asked questions one after another.
"It was already dark when we arrived last night. They were afraid that it would be unsafe on the way back, so they asked me to stay one night. In the early morning, when all the goods from the market are shipped out and there are more cars on the road, we can go on the road together."
"That's right, safety first."
The old lady also nodded, "It's better to stay one night. Even if it's so late next time, don't run into the city again. It's not safe."
"Are you going to sea later?" Father Ye asked.
The old lady hurriedly said: "What else are you going for? If you get home at this time, you must have set out at night. How can you sleep well outside? The porridge is ready. Eat a bowl and then lie down to sleep."
Ye Yaodong also agreed, "Go and ask any of our boatmen to go out to sea with you today. I haven't slept all night, so I have to go and lie down for a while."
"That's okay too."
He first handed the money he brought back to Ah Qing to collect, and then chatted with his father at the dinner table.
In the span of one meal, the village went from quiet to noisy.
After Aguang went back and took a nap, he finally understood what Ye Yaodong meant by selling off his words last night.
He cursed several times in his mind, and his face turned dark.
When I walked up to Ye Yaodong's house at noon, my face was very elongated. It was only when I saw my daughter that my face looked better.
Ye Yaodong also happened to wake up after a good night's sleep. He sat at the door waiting for lunch and looked at the two naughty little girls.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Aren't you afraid that the expression will be wrong? If you come back and listen to what the villagers say, it will be more intuitive and clear, and there will be no deviation in understanding."
"Dad~" When Pei Yu saw his father coming, he happily dropped the mud in his hand and quickly ran towards him and hugged his thigh.
"Hug~hug~Dad~hug~"
Aguang picked up the child, kissed his cheek, and then cursed: "I'm so stupid, he's disgusting. My father can be his father."
"That's right, if it really happens, you have to ask what the name of Mouse's ex-wife is?"
A Guang's face became even darker, and it felt like ink was dripping from his face.
Pei Yu looked a little scared and rubbed his face. As a result, his face was covered with mud. A Guang continued to scold him without paying attention.
"Shut up, it's impossible. Why are you still making assumptions? The Marler Gobi family is really like a den of snakes and rats with Old Man Wang's family. My father is not stupid. If he can find that woman, he can live a good life. Really? That's obviously a troublemaker."
"Hehe, so your father is embarrassed to tell you what happened at home."
"The rat really wrote a letter of report. Did he report you?"
"Well, his wife reported it. At that time, two people were making a fuss at my door. The dog bit the dog and exposed each other."
"It's really disgusting. There are people like this. They have been losing money since childhood. They are really dark-hearted. They are really like rats in the gutter. They hide behind their backs and come up with bad ideas. No wonder they are full of bad ideas. After Awei alienated us unhappily before, he also stood with him without saying a word."
"Yes, a person's character has a foreshadowing of what he can do. Both of them tend to hold grudges and envy others, and their minds are probably smaller than the tip of a needle."
"Fortunately, it was exposed. Otherwise, I might have suffered a lot of losses waiting for you in the future."
"How do you know they're not waiting for you? That move of Lao Wang's family is indeed very clever, and they also know how to target golden singles like your father!"
"Bah, stop talking. I'll ask someone to beat them up anytime. It really ruined my good mood when I went home. She can be my father's daughter. I don't think it's embarrassing to tell them. I It’s all embarrassing.”
"Haha~"
"I won't be leaving for the next few days. I'll call Huimei in the city later and talk to Huimei. I'll just wait for my father to come back at home. I have to settle this matter no matter what, so I don't have to hang around and make people laugh."
"Can the boats in your city be delivered as well? Last year, it was said to be in the middle of this year, right?"
"No, it will take another month. It is scheduled according to the delivery date. During this period, I ran to the factory every two days to rush. I was also thinking that the flood season of squid was coming soon. In the end, I was told that it could not be done quickly, and others I’m also waiting, and others want to hurry up.”
Fortunately, he made an order in the county. I feel like it's harder to talk to people in the city, but easier to talk to in the county. The delivery date is all in advance. Maybe the order volume in the city is larger.
"When we came back to fight pirates, we seized two boats. I told the factory yesterday to repair them quickly within the next three to five days. The other fishing boats are not in a hurry. I asked him to push back my other orders first to free up manpower. , decorate those two items first.”
A Guang's eyes lit up, "Yes, we also captured two boats. After these two boats are repaired, they will be put to use immediately."
"Yes."
"I don't know what it looks like yet. Anyway, I have a lot of free time. After dinner in the afternoon, I will go to the shipyard to have a look. I will also supervise them and ask them to repair it quickly."
"That's fine. If you have free time, you'd better supervise them every day and urge them to repair quickly. Otherwise, you might be afraid that they'll be doing their job well and end up doing nothing."
"Um."
"Let's eat here at noon. Dinner will be served soon, so we don't have to go back again."
"OK."
After Aguang put down the child, he wanted her to play with Ye Xiaoxi, but she hung on his arm, with her feet curled up, and refused to get off the ground.
After Aguang repeatedly promised that she would not leave and was in the yard, she was willing to put her feet down and not pester him, otherwise she would curl up in his arms and not get down.
But when Ye Xiaoxi ran over and pulled her to play, she still looked back at him every step of the way, for fear that he would run away.
A Guang walked to Ye Yaodong and sat down, keeping his eyes on the child. "Isn't my little wife pregnant? I haven't seen him for several months. His wife is still in the village?"
"No, I heard that he will be sent to his grandma's house after the New Year. His grandma's house is in the mountains, and the road is not easy to walk. It is inconvenient to get in and out. It should be better."
"Well, his two daughters are older, which is better. Xiaoyu is too young, and it is too troublesome for the third sister-in-law."
"When she grows up, it will be nice if she can be more filial to us..."
When Ye's mother came back after dinner, she was pleasantly surprised to see A Guang. She quickly asked him about Huimei's situation. She only said that the day of delivery was coming soon, so she would stay with her for a few days to accompany the birth. Now she was leaving. Production only takes about two months.
"Also, have you heard about your father?"
"Well, I heard it from my two sisters as soon as I came back."
"Then what do you think?"
"I'll come back later and ask my dad what he wants. If he really wants to find a companion, Aunt Ma next door would be great. The two families have lived together for decades, and everyone knows their character. It's just right for the house. They are all next to each other, so it’s convenient to live together.”
"If her son and daughter don't want to move here, they can just live next door. They can live their own lives, or they can live together. It's convenient for her to run in both directions, and she won't be delayed in doing things. He and my father can also take care of two families." .”
Aguang had sensed the signs as early as when his father had gone to help him frequently in the past two years. He never objected, but he also didn't go out of his way to persuade him to support it. Who knows whether his father had good intentions or had other ideas? Anyway, it depends on what his father wants.
But it's different now. Now that a rat's ex-wife suddenly appears, it's really a shame. He quickly asked his father to get together with Aunt Ma next door to give up the old Wang family's idea.
"Yes, yes, at least you two are familiar with each other, and Ma Lifang has a better reputation. At most, she has three children to raise, and it's not too hard. Just give her a bite to eat. Her older son and daughter are also sixteen. Even when he is seven, he can still work in the fields. My youngest son is probably only eleven or twelve years old, so he is not young at all."
"Um."
"Let's eat first and chat while we eat."
After Aguang served the table, he asked the old lady a few more questions about her health. The happy old lady moved two dishes of the delicious dishes in front of Ye Yaodong to him, asking him to eat more.
"For those of you who are away from home, it is inconvenient to eat, and nothing is as good as at home. It is rare to come back, eat more, and when you leave, bring more food..."
Ye Yaodong took back the chopsticks he had just stretched out and said angrily: "Where can it be inconvenient? He is in the market. It is much more convenient to eat. It is more convenient than us. There are all kinds of seafood in the market. I eat every day. It's hard to be floating on the sea, and you don't have three meals, and you eat one meal but not the next."
"Hehe, hehe, it's all hard work, you should eat more..."
"Why don't you tell me how much money you make in a day? I'm just resting on my laurels."
"Then I really can't eat well or sleep well at sea. If you don't notice, you've grown white and I've turned black."
A Guang felt that he was really good at telling lies.
He is still the most handsome boy in the village, and even the girls are not fairer than him.
I don’t know how the sea breeze didn’t tan him, nor did the sun tan him. He wore that weird hat and mask every day, but it was quite useful.
"Dad, rice rice~"
At this time, Pei Yu was very sensible and scooped up a spoonful of rice and handed it to Aguang's mouth. She was originally held in his arms and sat on his lap to eat, and the rice grains were scattered all over her lap.
Aguang smiled happily and opened her mouth to eat the food she brought to her mouth. He rubbed her head again and again, "Be good, eat it by yourself."
She nodded, then lowered her head to pick up the food on her lap and put it in her mouth. Then she obediently continued to scoop out the rice with a spoon.
Looking at Ye Yaodong, he felt a little sour. His daughter hadn't fed him yet, and she only immersed herself in cooking.
Being compared! ! !
She didn't just immerse herself in the rice. After the bowl of rice was almost eaten, she still held the rice bowl and shouted to Lin Xiuqing, "More, more, begging for rice."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but look at her, "You have a round belly and your clothes are sticking out. Do you want more?"
He also touched it casually and found that his stomach was protruding and his sweater was stretched there.
The old lady smiled and slapped his hand away, "The clothes are too small, and the weather is getting hotter. I'll make two larger ones when the time comes."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said: "The clothes are too small. Last autumn, they were only made slightly larger. I will change them tomorrow just for Xiaoyu to wear."
