Chapter 1086 Solution (10,000 Words Updated, to Make up for the Leave)

Ye Yaodong then realized why the old lady didn't seem to be angry, had no emotional fluctuations, and had nothing to say.

It turned out that she didn't know what happened at all. She just stood at the door and listened to the hammer here and there. She was even more confused than him. At least she didn't know at all.

Lin Xiuqing continued, "There is still some fussing about this. They are really something. They patted their chests and promised before, but then they brought all the aunts and uncles into the matter."

"This is the wife's problem. They think they didn't tell outsiders and only their family knows about it, but their wives also think they didn't tell outsiders and only told their family members. Then their family members also think so, they didn't tell outsiders."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing, "Then the whole village is not an outsider."

"Don't laugh, most secrets are spread like this. For example, I only tell you and don't tell others, so don't tell others. When the second person spreads it, it becomes that I only told you and so-and-so, and didn't tell others, so don't tell others, otherwise I won't be able to live like a human being. The third person becomes, I only tell you, don't tell others..."

The old lady was also amused by him this time.

"You know a lot."

"That's how it turned out."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, and said, "I think if my cousins ​​insist on it, my elder and second brothers really have no choice but to take the people with them, but they have to follow the original agreement. They promised to take three boats, so they must take those three."

"That's about right. If both sides can't reach an agreement and refuse to accept it, then we can only follow what was agreed at the beginning."

The old lady couldn't help but say, "You're just messing around. You don't have the brains to take advantage of this. It's hard to say whether you got the advantage or not. You've already gotten yourself into trouble."

"Just make your own money honestly. Honest people are just Doing honest things, but honest people insist on doing dishonest things, and now they are making a fool of themselves again. "

"Really, the whole village is laughing to death. After all, they are not of the same surname. They are the grandchildren of the same grandfather, making a scene and making a fool of themselves for the whole village."

"None of them is worry-free. I originally thought that his two brothers were honest and worry-free, but now it seems that they are not as good as you."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "right?"

"Are you still proud of yourself? You are the most worry-free and the one who worries the whole family the most. How many times has your brother been? Dad is still working for us, and you still have the nerve to say that you are worry-free."

"Two different things, at least I can handle the things I have to deal with myself."

This is true, Lin Xiuqing did not refute it.

They fell behind, talking as they walked. The people in front of them had disappeared and had gone home.

The sun was high in the sky at noon, but the houses in the village were all low, and the sun was shining directly, so it was difficult to find a place with shade. After walking a short distance, they were already sweating and their cheeks were red. Only the old lady was still holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, carrying it wherever she went.

She saw that Dongzi was still wearing long sleeves and a hat, and was afraid that he would be hot, so she gave him the fan.

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "I don't have any extra hands to push the bike, you fan the child, her face is as red as her butt."

"You should ride back first, wear long sleeves and a hat to protect yourself from the sun, but the child doesn't have any, don't let her get sunburned."

"Okay, then I'll ride her back first."

Ye Xiaoxi didn't say a word the whole time, not because she had changed her personality and became quiet, but because it was her first time to ride a bike, and she was very curious. The adults were talking there, and she was studying it by herself, holding the cushion on it with both hands, constantly touching it, and looking at everything curiously.

Ye Yaodong carried the child to the front bar again and told her to hold the upper handrail tightly, sit on her buttocks and not move around, then he circled her with one hand, controlled the bike with the other hand, and pedaled.

Ye Xiaoxi watched the bike move so fast, her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide.

"Car...car...Dad...so fast..."

"Nonsense, I should say Dad is awesome!"

"Great...Dad...Great..."

"Yes, and you should also praise your dad for being awesome."

"Dad, awesome! Awesome!"

"Yeah." Ye Yaodong was very satisfied.

When he got home first, everyone except Aqing and the old lady had already arrived home, and his father and second brother were also at his eldest brother's house.

He left Ye Xiaoxi in the care of the two brothers Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, and only said that their mother was behind and would soon arrive home, and asked them to be honest and not run out to bask in the sun, and then he also went to his eldest brother's house.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua in the room were as listless as eggplants hit by frost, with regretful faces. They felt that they should not be greedy, nor should they be kind enough to help them. Now that the benefits have not fallen into their hands, they have caused trouble.

He walked into the door, looked at the silence in the room, and asked in confusion, "Have you come to a conclusion?"

Father Ye dragged the hookah in his left hand like the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, sucking on it loudly, and ignored him.

Ye Yaopeng said: "They insisted that we take all the boats. Anyway, we can take two or ten."

"Are you thinking too much? How can your boat pull ten?"

Ye Yaohua said honestly: "Two boats pull five each, stack them on the deck and fix them with ropes..."

"Oh... have you thought about it and arranged it well?"

Ye Yaohua waved his hands in panic, "No, no... That's not what I meant. We don't want to take it..."

"If you don't want to take it, you can only pay compensation. After all, you broke the contract."

"What do you mean we broke the contract?"

Sister Ye was cooking on the side. She came over excitedly with a spatula and gestured: "They were the first to break their promises, spread rumors everywhere, and even included my mother's family. We didn't agree. They are the first to be at fault. Why should we pay compensation?"

"Besides, we didn't ask them to buy the boat. They were greedy and bought it at a high price. What does this have to do with us? ? We didn't promise them anything about the newly bought boats, and they didn't come to say that there were more boats. "

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, looking helpless, "If you are reluctant to give compensation, then you can only follow the agreement at the beginning, and you can take the three boats you promised before."

"But the promises made by the cousins ​​to others were not told to the eldest and second brothers in advance, and they promised others privately without discussion. Of course, they have to solve it themselves, which is none of your business. "

"And the boats they bought at a high price later must have nothing to do with the eldest and second brothers."

Ye Yaopeng nodded immediately, "Yes, that's it, we are reasonable, not unreasonable. We only admit that we did agree to take the three boats at the beginning, and it is indeed unkind of us to regret it now. They want to force the others on us, and we don't admit it. "

"Well, so you think of how to solve it, right?"

The two looked up at him, both a little confused, one shook his head and the other said no.

Father Ye said speechlessly: "Fools, didn't Dongzi tell you that since you don't want to bring so many boats and people, and if you can't reach an agreement, then just follow the original agreement."

"Then we still have to bring three boats, so wouldn't we have made a wasted trip and quarrel today?"

Without waiting for the two brothers to speak, Sister Ye spoke directly.

Father Ye glared at her. It was not easy to scold his daughter-in-law, so he turned to scold his eldest son, "Do you make the decisions at home or does your wife make the decisions?"

Ye Yaopeng also turned to glare at her, "Cook your meal, why are you talking so much? What does it have to do with you if a man says something?"

Ye Yaodong saw that his sister-in-law shut up and said, "If you don't quarrel today, you don't know how many boats you will be forced to take when you set off."

"Did you hear that? You are over 30 years old, where is your brain? Can you take on such things casually? When Dongzi took the villagers out last year, he didn't charge them a penny."

"It's all ugly words in advance. They can follow, but if they follow, they have to arrange and solve their own affairs. He doesn't care about anything. If there is any accident, he will not be responsible for anything. It's none of his business."

"You are so good, you take the responsibility of yourselves. You are soft-hearted and short-handed. You don't understand this."

The two brothers were scolded by Father Ye without saying a word.

Seeing that the two men couldn't do anything, Father Ye had to swallow his anger and said, "If you are worried about accidents, taking responsibility, or feeling that it's troublesome and you think that the money you earn is not worth it, then when we discuss it later, you can make a concession and take the three boats with you."

"But when we get there, it has nothing to do with you. Let them arrange and solve the rest by themselves. You don't care about anything. You don't want the agreed 20%. It's none of your business if anything goes wrong."

The two brothers raised their heads, looked at each other, and nodded.

"That's fine. You can take it to them on the way and bring it back to them at most. We don't care about anything that happens outside."

"We don't want their 20% either."

Ye Yaodong shook his head. They thought too simply.

"If nothing unexpected happens, everything is fine, and everyone is happy. If there is any accident, I will still find you first. Who asked you to take them there?"

"Just like last year, although I said that, I still have to lend a hand when I get there. I can't get away with it so cleanly. Also, there weren't many people last year. If you don't help within your ability, you will be criticized. After all, we are all from the same village. Everyone followed me out and I have to take care of them."

"The same goes for this trip. If you can spare your hands, you have to take care of all the things you need to do. However, I also said it in advance last night. I have a large team of my own, and my own people all have numbers 20 and 30. I must be Take care of yourself first, a person’s energy is limited, so let them make their own arrangements.”

"The stakes are also clearly laid out. Everyone can understand what the situation is. There are differences between the two."

The three of them were silent again.

Father Ye said with a headache: "Then what do you think we should do?"

"In my opinion, things that can be solved with small money should be solved with small money as much as possible. Well... we definitely can't do anything with big money."

"How to say?"

"Didn't they buy two old boats at the price of new boats and just wait to make a fortune? Originally, this has nothing to do with you. They made the arrangements themselves. They didn't inform you before or after. You don't need to Responsible."

"Now... just buy it at the original price they paid for it and let them reduce their losses."

"Part of the reason why they are unhappy is that they have already spent the money on it, and if you don't take them with you, then the money will be wasted."

"Now you make up for their losses and see if they are willing."

Father Ye's eyes lit up, "Then if we take over the boat, it will be a bit more expensive, but the boss and the second can hire two people to take them fishing, and the profit will be their own. This is more cost-effective than taking them with them, anyway. Everyone has to take responsibility.”

"Yes, they may not agree. You have to ask the village committee to come forward. And you have to argue. In the end, you have to resolutely not take them, and then discuss how to compensate before you can propose it."

"Otherwise, they just want to follow and make a fortune. Even if you take away their ship, it won't solve their original intention."

"It is only possible if they know that nothing can be done, and you are determined not to take them with you, and then buy their boat at the original price to reduce their losses."

"You still have to fight to death. It was them who broke the agreement by spreading the news to others. It was also them who made the promise. You don't know at all. Let them solve the problem on their own with their relatives. You can help him with the ship. Even if we charge the original price, we won’t let them lose money.”

Ye Yaopeng was a little hesitant, "Can they agree? This is like drawing water from a bamboo basket, and they wanted to follow in the first place, and now they just want to follow."

"So you have to discuss and argue. I'm just going to tell you a few possibilities now, and discuss all the options that can be discussed."

"If we can't reach an agreement, you still have to take the person there according to the original agreement. After all, it was agreed from the beginning, and you should fulfill the promise. Just follow what dad said before, you will not accept payment from others, and you will only be responsible for transporting them back and forth. During this period, you will Ignore their chores and bet they are safe.”

"Whether you make money or not, just bring it back safely. Anyway, you don't want to make this money now. You'd better solve it as soon as possible. If this matter is not solved, you won't feel at ease when you go out to sea to trawl at night."

Both of them looked gloomy.

"Let's think about it some more."

Father Ye asked: "If we go according to the original agreement, they will not be able to take away the two boats they bought at a high price, and they will definitely feel unhappy."

"That's not pleasant and it's none of our business. Two more boats means four more people. These four people have to be brought over by the eldest and second brothers. The eldest and second brothers have to be responsible for the extra people."

"And how long will it take for their boat to row to the trench? And then they have to drive their boat in and out every day? Do they have to send the goods to the shore for them to sell? It's Tiangang's fault, and the two brothers have to do it. I served them all the way, so the 20% was well spent, wasn't it?" Ye Yaodong chuckled sarcastically.

"That won't work." The two brothers said in unison.

"So, if you insist on not taking these two boats you bought at a high price, they will probably find Brother Aseng and ask him to take them with his boat. After all, Brother Aseng is a brother to them. Just look at Ah Sheng. Brother Sheng’s wife is no longer powerful, but she probably can’t refuse, they are all brothers.”

The two looked at each other, feeling that they had no solution and were back to the beginning.

"You guys think about it for yourselves. I'll analyze all the possibilities for you. I'm going back first. It's so hot and I'm covered in dirt. I need to take a shower first."

He said what needed to be said; he analyzed what needed to be analyzed; he also made suggestions that needed to be made; then it was up to them to decide what to do.

Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back from next door and thought everything had been discussed.

"Is it done? The meal is not ready yet, we have to wait for a while."

"There are still some nonsense, let them solve it themselves."

"Okay, it's really a mess. It wasn't that much to begin with."

Ye Yaodong didn't answer. He took the washbasin and went straight to scoop out cold water. Who could use hot water on a hot day?

But the old lady refused. She touched his basin, which was full of cold water, and asked him to wait. Rice was cooking in the pot, and the water in the two pot-sized holes on the side of the earthen stove was also hot. .

"It's better to wash with warm water, otherwise the cold in the summer will be uncomfortable. You young people are not sensible. Now you are doing whatever you want. When you get older, it is easy to leave the root of the disease. When it hurts here and there, you will know how uncomfortable it is."

He didn't answer. After the old lady tested the water temperature and felt it was ok, he went to the door to rinse and then went to the room to change into a vest and shorts.

Then he lay straight on the bed. He felt comfortable after taking a bath. If it weren't for the rumbling of hunger, he would have been pressed against his back. Now he closed his eyes and felt that he could sleep again.

Although he didn't fall asleep, he was drowsy when he was called to eat, and he was ready to stay for a while.

Little Ye Xiaoxi opened the door and called him, but he deliberately continued to lie down and didn't get up.

"It's time to eat... Dad... Get up..."

He didn't move.

Ye Xiaoxi called several times and pulled his hand, but couldn't pull it for a long time, so he had to climb onto the bed, patting and pinching his face, picking his nose, and pinching his nose wings.

There was no response, so she used her hands to open his eyelids again. After seeing the black eyeballs rolling around, she laughed and laughed. She didn't forget to collect her saliva when it dripped down, but she didn't collect it all. Half of it dripped on his face.

Ye Yaodong's eyelids were opened by her, and he couldn't help laughing. After being teased by her like this, he was awake and no longer sleepy.

Lin Xiuqing saw that she hadn't called anyone out for a long time, so she walked in and saw that the father and daughter were playing happily on the bed, so she had to knock on the door.

"Don't play, come out to eat first, it's already one o'clock, you must be starving."

Ye Yaodong hugged the person sitting on him, smiled and patted the fleshy little buttocks, and imitated her previous tone of speaking, "Let's eat~"

Ye Xiaoxi was also happy to raise her hands, twist her body, shake her head, and say, "Let's eat~"

When she sat at the table, she habitually looked for Pei Yu, but didn't see him, and her expression on her face was a little sad.

The two of them had been together for half a year, eating and sleeping together. Suddenly, they hadn't seen each other for several days, and they felt empty.

"Where's my sister?"

"My sister has gone home. Her mother will be back soon. She won't live in our house anymore." Lin Xiuqing filled her meal and took the spoon to explain.

"But I want my sister. Can I let her come?"

Ye Yaodong said, "Then after dinner, I'll go get my sister to play with you?"

She nodded happily.

A Guang hurriedly dragged him to the city the day before yesterday morning, leaving his daughter at home with her stepmother and two sisters, so they didn't go to get her. Anyway, Huimei would be back in two days.

"She asks her sister dozens of times a day. She started asking after A Guang brought her home two days ago. She wouldn't ask so many times when you were away from home for a few days."

Ye Yaodong felt jealous and turned to ask her, "Do you love dad?"

She nodded.

"You have an apple in your left hand and a banana in your right hand. Dad and sister fell into the sea. Which one would you eat first?"

She was at a loss.

The others at the table were also dumbfounded. What kind of question was this?

"One for dad and one for sister."

Ye Yaodong himself was also confused. Why did he answer like that?

"Why?"

"Because I want to eat watermelon! Big watermelon!"

"Aren't you going to save dad and sister?"

"You, save sister, I'll get you apples and bananas."

"Okay, that's right..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "I don't know what stupid question you're asking, who would ask a question like that, she's only 3 years old."

Ye Yaodong smiled and touched Ye Xiaoxi's head, "Wait for me to bring my sister back, and by the way, I'll bring back a few more watermelons like this for your sister, okay?"

"Okay!" She happily answered loudly.

The old lady asked with concern: "It's the third day since Huimei gave birth, right? She's coming back too, right?"

"Very likely. It's almost afternoon now. If she doesn't come back today, she'll probably come back tomorrow. It's not as comfortable as being at home."

"I'll go see her when she comes back. It's rare that she gave birth to twins. How rare." The old lady smiled and suddenly said to him, "They say nephews look like their uncles. Do you think they look like you?"

Ye Yaodong's face was immediately filled with an indescribable expression, "It's hard to say whether she looks like her uncle, but she definitely doesn't look like me. If she really looks like her uncle, Then it should be more appropriate to say that he looks like the eldest and second brothers. "

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Lin Xiuqing was also puzzled, "Look like the eldest and second brothers?"

"Haha, they look like two pieces of black charcoal, like the child's grandfather, both of them look like old men."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him in a reproachful manner, "Then you still say that he looks like the eldest and second brothers."

"Aren't you asking if he looks like me? Does the nephew look like his uncle? Haha, he has several uncles, probably not like me, hahaha..."

Ye Yaodong laughed as he spoke, recalling the appearance of the two black charcoal in the cradle.

Although his two sons are now almost as black as two pieces of charcoal, their bodies are still white, without the bottoms exposed to the sun. When they take a bath, they are naked and almost glowing, just like him.

Ye Xiaoxi is the same. Although she was red and wrinkled when she was just born, she became white and tender after a few hours.

Not like the two I saw the day before yesterday.

It is said that twins look very similar. He didn't see it, but it is true that they are both black.

The old lady was also happy, "Then he probably looks like A Guang, both have black skin."

"Just because he is black when he is born doesn't mean he will be black later. He will be fine when he grows up. Maybe after a few days, he will be whiter now, white and tender."

Lin Xiuqing said it better.

"Anyway, when we get back, you all have to come and take a look. You'll know for yourself."

"These two should be fined 1,000 yuan, right?"

"Better than 500 yuan."

"Ah?"

Lin Xiuqing reacted and understood what he meant, and laughed.

"If he was only fined 500 yuan, would he still ask for a higher price? Hahaha..."

"That's right, hahaha..."

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, both of you, stop laughing, you've been laughing there, you haven't even eaten, it's already this late, you're starving."

Ye Yaodong laughed enough and stopped laughing, but Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing again after looking up at him.

There was laughter at the table.

Father Ye didn't say a word the whole time. He was originally in a bad mood, but looking at the atmosphere at their table, his face gradually put on a smile, and his expression became relaxed and happy.

It's just that the sound insulation of the house is not good, and the sound can be heard next door, and the atmosphere at the next table is even more silent. The children didn't dare to say anything, they lowered their heads and ate silently, and they were extremely honest for fear of being implicated.

After dinner, Ye Yaodong sat at the door to enjoy the cool air, watching his father hurriedly run to the next door.

He had a smile on his face, but when he ran out, he put it away and became more serious.

After a while, he saw five people wearing straw hats going out, probably thinking of resolving the matter as soon as possible, going to the village committee or something, and being a witness together to settle the matter.

If the matter is not resolved now, and it is dragged on until the departure, it will be a disaster.

He did not get involved in their matter. He was very tired after running back and forth for two days. Now it was sunny outside, and he was too lazy to go out. Anyway, there would be no fight.

"Dad~ Big Watermelon... No..." She immediately shook her head to correct, "It's sister..."

Ye Yaodong was happy, "You're running out to ask for a big watermelon with rice grains still in your mouth? Do you want a watermelon or a sister?"

Ye Xiaoxi smiled and showed two rows of small teeth, "Both!"

"Can I only have one?"

"Both! Go... Go..."

She held Ye Yaodong's hands with both hands, but her hands were too small, so she could only hold two of his fingers and tried to pull him up from the stool.

"Hurry up..."

The voice was so soft and the ending was so long, who could refuse it?

Ye Yaodong sat up straight, patted her little butt, and touched her round belly that stretched her clothes. "Your belly is already as big as a watermelon, can you still eat more?"

"Yes, go quickly."

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go. I just finished eating and the sun is so strong, I can't even take a break. I owed you in my last life, and I'm here to collect the debt in this life."

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang popped up from nowhere. When they heard that he was going to move the watermelons, they volunteered to run over and help pick them.

Before he nodded, a few more jumped out from the side.

"Uncle San, we will help you push the cart, and you just need to hold your cousin."

"You are so thoughtful? You treat it as your own vegetable garden? Do you know how expensive a watermelon is? A cart must weigh hundreds of pounds, and you still want to use a cart to push it. You are really not polite."

Ye Chengjiang scratched the back of his head, "Last year, didn't your uncle push a cart over and let us share it."

"But your uncle is not at home this year. Do you have the nerve to push a cart by yourself? Forget it, you four boys come with me, and each of you can bring one back. Girls don't have to run around to bask in the sun, just wait at home."

"Okay, let's go now."

The four boys rushed out like cannonballs and ran first.

It's summer vacation now. Ye Chenghai has to go to the shipyard to work and punch in every day. He no longer hangs out with these guys. He has not been seen for many days. He goes out early and comes back late.

Ye Yaodong looked for a straw hat, thought about it, and took an umbrella before going out slowly.

He would bring the child over later. He couldn't have a hat to block the sun. He would let the child come all the way under the scorching sun. He could hold an umbrella to block the sun.

But when he went, Pei Yu happened to be taking a nap, so he didn't disturb him. He just said that he would come to pick him up when he woke up in the evening.

Several boys rushed over first, each holding a watermelon in their hands and waiting, and they all picked the big ones without being shy.

Ye Yaodong didn't hold the child with empty hands, so he also took one. Anyway, A Guang's house was full of watermelons. Pei's father had two grandchildren in the past two days. He was very happy and enthusiastic. He said that he would push a cart over in the evening for them to share.

"Are A Guang and the others coming back tomorrow?"

Father Pei's face was beaming with laughter. "I called this morning and asked, and they said they have already asked for a car and will pick them up tomorrow morning, but it will probably be noon when they get home. The house has been cleaned for them, inside and out, and they can move in when they come back."

"Yes, two grandchildren have been added at once, and I think uncle has become ten years younger all of a sudden, haha."

Father Pei also laughed happily, "I am so happy, other people may not have two in three years, but I have three in two years."

"Really, I am so lucky."

It was only the second half of the year that they got married for three years, and now it really is three in two years.

"People are in high spirits when they are happy, and I see uncle is beaming with joy, and he is still strong in his old age. Who knows if there will be more blessings in the future, hahaha..."

Father Pei also laughed at what he said, and did not think he was disrespectful, and he knew what kind of personality he had.

"Go now, stop talking nonsense, they are already looking out the door and urging you to come."

Ye Yaodong also looked at the people who were sticking their heads out the door and holding watermelons, "Then I'll go back first and come back to pick up Xiaoyu later."

"I'll take it over later when the sun is not too high."

"Okay."

As soon as he walked out of the door, the boys who had been waiting impatiently at the door immediately ran away with their watermelons.

Just now, I felt embarrassed to run away with the watermelon as soon as I arrived, so I waited at the door and waited for Uncle San to come out before leaving together.

Ye Xiaoxi was also very happy playing with several sisters at home. When she saw them coming back with watermelons, she didn't see Pei Yu and didn't look for him.

After eating the watermelon, she asked Ye Yaodong belatedly.

"Where is my sister?"

"You still know my sister? I thought you had forgotten that you were looking for my sister because you had watermelon to eat?"

Ye Xiaoxi blinked her eyes, "Share the watermelon with my sister."

"You don't have to share it. What you eat is hers. She is sleeping. She will come to find you when she wakes up."

She nodded obediently, and then continued to eat her watermelon, looking very satisfied, with a red face and watermelon pulp all over her face.

Ye Yaodong also enjoyed it very much. Watermelon is the best in the summer.

"Don't throw watermelon rinds around after eating them, or you'll slip and fall, and I'll beat you to death."

"Put it in a bucket and feed it to the pigs, I know."

"Well, you can also throw it in the corner and feed the chickens."

"Feed the dogs..."

"The dogs won't eat it, so don't bother them all the time."

Ye Xiaoxi blinked, "Huahua wants to eat..."

When the spotted dog heard its name being called, it immediately stood up, then turned its head and hid in the doghouse.

"Finally I know what the word 'people hate dogs' means."

"Hahaha……"

The other children were laughing while eating. Ye Xiaoxi held the watermelon and looked at this and that with round black eyes, then lowered his head to take a bite, and then looked up to see everyone laughing. He didn't understand what everyone was laughing at.

But after she gnawed all the red bits off the watermelon, leaving only the white bits, she walked back to the kennel as usual.

You can't hide from it.

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile on the side: "She likes that Dalmatian dog very much. She catches it every day and torments with it."

"The two were pregnant before, and the little white one and the little yellow one haven't given birth yet?"

"Not yet, it should be soon."

"Um."

There was a commotion in the morning, and their whole family followed to see it all morning. In the afternoon, they didn't move, not even the children from several families followed.

Anyway, the adult's affairs have nothing to do with them. If they followed, they would just crowd in and watch. It would be better to follow Uncle San and have watermelon to eat.

I am a half-grown man who lives in poverty and has nothing left to eat. For 3 adults and 9 children, one big watermelon is more than enough, and everyone is satisfied.

When the adults went out, they waited until dinner time in the evening to get sweaty.

As soon as Father Ye came back, he took off his wet vest, sat at the door and told Ye Yaodong the outcome of the afternoon's conversation.

"They were determined to follow and refused to accept anything else. They were also reluctant to sell the two boats they bought, even at the original price. They originally wanted to make a lot of money in the past."

"So your eldest and second brothers still have to follow the original agreement, but they also agreed that they are only responsible for taking people there and bringing them back. They don't care about what happened there during the period. They can do whatever they want there, of course. No more money.”

"Then by the way, I also testified in front of the village committee that if anything happens, I can't rely on your brother and the others."

"The other two I bought are exactly what you said. They called Ah Sheng on the spot and asked him to help send the boat and people there."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "On the spot? Brother Asheng's wife is not here?"

"Yes, he objected on the spot. Then they tried to persuade him, saying that he only needed to send the people and the boat over and bring them back. There were only two boats anyway, so he could take care of the things over there. He didn't need them."

"They said they were brothers, but they refused to help. Then the couple couldn't stand the crowd and had to agree."

"The rest of your cousins' families can only deal with them. If they want to go, let them find someone else."

He nodded. This result was expected and there was no suspense.

So he didn't go to listen in the afternoon. The result was nothing more than the possibilities analyzed in the afternoon.

"It's easy to say now, but I'm afraid that when we get there, we will find that we have no boat to pull us, and we can't reach the trench. We can only salvage on the sea like the local fishermen. I'm afraid they will cause trouble again, but we'll see when the time comes."

"Well, it can only be like this anyway. It doesn't make sense. Those who haven't been there don't believe it's dangerous. They all think it's an excuse. They only believe what they think, that they can get rich by going there. Only those who have been there will know the situation, but they will probably think about trying their luck, going there first, and coming back if things don't go well."

"I'm afraid that the money I've earned will fly away, so no matter what I do, I'll I have to go and have a look anyway, after all, the attraction of a millionaire is too great. "

"Well, anyway, that's it for now."

"Uncle Pei sent a truck of watermelons over for us to share. You can take a few back after dinner. Also, they will all be back tomorrow."

"So soon?"

"Is it too happy to be alone?"

Father Ye laughed, "It's quite comfortable. No one is nagging in my ears. It's quite quiet. But sometimes I feel it's too quiet. I'm used to your mother nagging and fighting in my ears every night."

This time he didn't say it stubbornly.

"You feel empty when you're alone, right?"

"I'm just not used to it for a while. I'll definitely get used to it after a long time. It's not uncommon for me to stay outside for a month or two. How can I feel empty because your mother is not at home? I'll leave in a few days, thinking that there will be someone to look after the house when she comes back."

Okay, only he can say it, and others can't say it, so tell him.

"When are you going to the city?"

"The 2nd, it's exactly half a month, just go at the agreed time, no need to go in advance, today is the 26th."

"Okay, I'll go with you then. Oh, by the way, I was interrupted by their business this morning and forgot to ask you, how was your boat-watching this morning?"

"Almost all of them will be back on the 30th, and the shipyard's boat is also said to be on the 30th. Wait for a good day, and drive them all back together to set off firecrackers. It's just right that we can all get together, which saves us a lot of trouble."

"It's also a coincidence that we got them all. If you are free these two days, help me buy more rice and shell it. We are all strong men, and we will need a lot of food at that time. Buy it in advance and bring it over, so as not to worry about it being difficult to buy it when we get there."

The old lady was immediately refreshed when she heard this, and finally she had something to say.

She said excitedly: "I said those pumpkins and winter melons I planted are useful, right? You complain every day that there are too many and they are too big, saying that I have nothing to do and can't eat them all, and I have to give them away all day. Now they are useful, aren't they?"

"So many people need such big pumpkins and winter melons. One is enough for dozens of you to eat, and the key is that it won't go bad, and you don't have to spend money to buy it."

"Ah, yes, yes, you are still far-sighted, and you can bring them all when the time comes."

The old lady was satisfied.

"I will plant more for you next year."

The value was reflected, making the old man extremely happy, and finally there was a place where she could be useful.
