Chapter 1155: Guilty Father Ye

When he got off the boat, he was afraid that people would ask if there was an accident. Came back without any advance notice.

Fortunately, Dongzi came up and didn't say anything.

The other boatmen also laughed and worked first, with no time to chat. Moreover, because they came back temporarily, there was no one at the dock. At this time, the fishing boats had not returned, except for a few people receiving the goods.

At least, I saved my face for the time being.

"A Dong is so powerful. He can eat wherever he goes. Now he is even an official..."

Father Ye looked proud, but he pretended to be humble, "He is just a little luckier than others, and he can talk better than others, so he can be recognized by the leadership. This trip also made him acquainted with several powerful people." people……"

Ye Yaodong listened to his father's words getting more and more outrageous, and he didn't know if he was feeling guilty and trying to make up for it in advance, desperately trying to put a high hat on himself.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a social organization. It's only officially recognized. I'm just the vice president. That association has one president and five vice presidents..."

He interrupted, and if he didn't say anything else, maybe his father would be able to blow so hard that it would reach the sky. A moderate blow would be enough, but if he blew too much, he might become extremely happy and miserable.

Father Ye quickly answered, "Yes, yes, he still has a letter of appointment on hand. The government sent it to specifically appoint him as the president. Although he is a deputy, he has honored the ancestors and is called President Ye."

"There is only one president, and the others are equal, and Adong is so awesome. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the title of president Ye sounds loud."

Ah Cai laughed and said, "You can stop calling me Xianyudong and call you President Ye instead, hahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Give me back the lighter."

"Haha, there's no reason to go back to something you sent out. Isn't President Ye stingy? Tell me what else is worth bragging about, and let everyone promote it for you."

"Gone."

"You are so prosperous, how many tables will you have to set up when you go back?"

"Listen to my dad's nonsense. I don't care about anything, so I can come and go easily."

"That's awesome. You're from out of town, and there are all local snakes there. You can still fight your way out of the local snakes. If you become the president of something, you sound very powerful."

A boatman interjected: "Not only that, A Dong also knows big shots and the big boss. The lighter was bought from the big boss, and the big boss begged him to become a partner."

"The big boss is still begging you to partner up? Oops...you really can eat anywhere..."

Ye Yaodong saw that the goods were almost moved, and said with a smile: "No, I heard everyone bragging, it's just a promotion from the leader. I'll take these groceries home first. You can come to my house later to get a lighter, or give it to me after I'm done. Are you sending it out?”

"No, no, we'll go get it from you later. You've just come back and there's still a lot to do, so we can just go get it ourselves."

"OK."

Watching the last basket of things being loaded onto the tractor, he also climbed on, calling others to climb on as well.

"It's okay if you can take a few steps less. Get off at the intersection and go back."

Father Ye shook his head in disgust, "How can you be so precious? You've been on the boat all day, and you haven't walked on the road. You've just landed, and you haven't even moved a step and you're already in the car?"

"Haha, your father is right. It's so precious. Let's just walk back. After floating on the sea for so long, I just want to take a few steps down to earth."

That's okay, I'm starving to death and floating on the boat for a day, which is actually very tiring.

Although Lin Xiuqing thought that just walking a few steps would be enough, when she saw him getting on the tractor, she followed him because she still had something to say and she didn't even get to speak just now.

She just listened to Ye's father bragging and boasting to others, and A Dong selling lighters, but she didn't even find a chance to say a word.

When they were alone on the tractor, she found a chance to speak.

"What happened? That's why you came back early and didn't tell me?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail when I get home. Now I'll tell you briefly, my father and the boatmen were arrested again yesterday, but they didn't stay overnight. They were released again yesterday evening. Out."

Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, "Ah, did you go in again?"

Fortunately, the noise of the tractor was loud, so her exclamation was not heard by the younger brother who was driving in front, otherwise Ye's father would not be able to cover it up before he got home.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "So they came back in a hurry after being traumatized for the second time. They originally planned to come back in the next few days depending on the situation. Fortunately, it was not troublesome to collect their things, and there were so many people, so they set off overnight. ”

"I just saw my dad looking so happy and proud on the dock..."

"Ahem, don't ask when you go back. Don't ask in front of my mother. I'll tell you when I get back to my room at night."

"How can you hide it? When each of them boatmen went home, they would always tell the people next to them. Didn't the news spread throughout the village and they were arrested, so they came back temporarily."

"At least you can hear some good things when you come back. The good things will be spread out, and the bad things will be talked about less."

Lin Xiuqing secretly rolled her eyes.

"Why did you get caught this time? Was it because you were snatching goods at sea? Did you get caught too?"

"I didn't have this time. It's not the fault of the sea or us. It's a bit long to talk about. I have to start from the first day when I went to the place. I'll tell you when I get back. Ah... I'm at the workshop..."

Ye Yaodong watched the tractor stop and saw it parked in the workshop. He jumped down quickly, "Aliang, take all the things on the boat down first and put them in the open space here. The remaining boxes will be moved to my house later."

"I know, brother Dong."

Ye Yaodong directed them on the side, not to let them take the wrong ones.

"Have you started drying fish again recently? Is the quantity sent back by the Harvest still okay?"

"It's okay, about the same as the number left before. Anyway, there is only one boat delivering goods now, so it only takes a day to dry them all. These were dried the day before yesterday, and I plan to put them away when the sun goes down."

"Oh."

"I'll go back and cook noodles for you. You can fill your stomach first. It's past 3 o'clock now, and you have to eat at 6 o'clock later."

"Okay."

The old lady also came over slowly with a cane.

Ye Xiaoxi was originally led by the old lady. When she saw Ye Yaodong, she had already let go of the old lady's hand and ran away, shouting as she ran, "Dad, you're back, Dad..."

"Run slower."

Ye Yaodong saw her staggering, feeling that she would fall face down on the ground in the next second, and hurried forward to catch the person who rushed over.

"Dad, you're back. Mom lied to me last night and said you would wait until I put on a sweater before coming back."

The old lady said happily, "I heard her clamoring to wear a sweater early this morning. She didn't know what the weather was like. If she put it on, she would get a lot of prickly heat. She refused to listen, so I beat her up before she stopped."

Ye Yaodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and patted her little butt.

"Are you stupid?"

"I secretly put on a sweater this morning, so you're back." Ye Xiaoxi happily hugged his neck and licked his face several times.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy, feeling very happy, and particularly enjoying it, "Did you miss me?"

"Yes!"

Ye Xiaoxi shouted loudly and stretched out her hand to pinch the flesh on his face, "Where is my gift?"

"Do you want me to come back? Or do you want my gift?"

Ye Xiaoxi frowned and thought tangledly, "There will be gifts only when Dad comes back. I want Dad to come back, and I also want to ride a horse."

Ye Yaodong dotingly pinched her chubby face, "The gift is in the password box, ask your mother to get it for you later, it has been bought in advance . I'll buy you some wool in a couple of days and ask your mother to make you a bunch of new sweaters so you'll have something to wear when it gets cold."

"I want rainbow colors! I want rainbow sweaters!"

"So picky? Then go ask for them yourself when you get home."

"No, go and ask for them."

"I don't want them, you wear them, go and ask for them."

"You go."

"You go."

"You go, you go, you go, you go..."

Ye Xiaoxi screamed louder and louder, twisting her body, and Ye Yaodong almost couldn't hold her anymore, so he surrendered quickly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go. Are you afraid of being beaten? Where did your mother beat you this morning?"

Ye Xiaoxi's mouth immediately flattened, and he pulled his pants with a look of grievance, "She beat my feet and my buttocks... I don't want her anymore, I want my dad, I don't want to sleep with her at night, I want to sleep with you."

"Okay, okay..."

"Help me beat her, beat her buttocks, beat it until it swells up!"

Ye Yaodong tried hard to hold back his smile and nodded frequently, "Okay, okay, I'll help you beat her at night and help you get revenge."

She nodded heavily, hugged his neck, and hugged him tighter.

The old lady looked at him with a smile, "She's getting better and better at complaining. No wonder her brother always says she's a complainer."

Ye Xiaoxi snorted a few times.

The old lady asked him the same question again, "Why didn't you call in advance when you came back? I didn't know you were coming back today, I thought I had to wait a few more days."

At this time, Ye's father also walked from the dock to the door of the workshop, chatting and laughing with everyone. Hearing this, the smile on his face could no longer be kept.

"If the situation is not good, shouldn't we come back earlier? Why call? If you call, you have to stay one more day. Do you know how much money it costs to stay one more day? You can save some money if you come back earlier."

"Why is the situation not good?"

Father Ye turned his head and saw that the goods on the tractor had been moved almost, and changed the subject, "Everything is moved, so move the remaining goods home. Wait until the sun goes down to wash those baskets and buckets, otherwise they will smell like seafood when they are exposed to the sun tomorrow."

"Uncle, I know."

He asked again when he saw the dried fish drying in the workshop.

Ye Yaodong explained to them and asked them to drive the tractor to the door later and unload the remaining goods.

Then he held the child, took the password box on the tractor in his hand, and went home first.

The boxes of lighters are not light, they are not plastic, but solid metal.

Ye Xiaoxi lowered her head and wanted to take his password box, so he simply put her down and let her take one side of the password box.

She grinned, tilted her head, and said in a baby voice: "I'll take it!"

"You are not even as big as the box, you have to touch everything."

"I can do it."

Ye Yaodong and she each carried a handle. Fortunately, there was nothing heavy in the box. There were only two sets of thin clothes for changing and about 2,000 yuan, and some small things he bought when he was shopping a few days ago. It was not heavy. He carried one side with one hand and handed the other side to her. Nothing would happen, and he was not afraid of hitting her.

It happened that the old lady couldn't walk fast, and Ye Yaodong had to make do with Ye Xiaoxi's footsteps. The grandfather and grandson walked home slowly and basking in the sun, their faces sweating profusely, but their hearts were sweet.

Before any of them could reach the door, the tractor had already stopped at the door and began to carry the remaining lighters on it.

"Brother Dong, where should I put these boxes of things? This box is quite heavy."

"Move it inside the house and ask your sister-in-law where it's better to put it. It can't be placed outside anyway."

"OK."

"What are those boxes? Why did you bring so many things back? Did you catch them at sea on the way?" The old lady stretched her neck and looked curiously.

"There is so much shit to be harvested every day. I bought these and I will deliver them to the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"what?"

"lighter."

"What chicken? There are so many chickens at home, and they will stink if you put them in there..."

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to explain.

Father Ye glared at the old lady with disgust, "What do you know? If you don't know, don't talk. When you come back, you will ask this question and that question. Why are there so many questions that you can't finish them all? You can't let people rest for a while. Everything is still there. After moving, I couldn’t stop talking.”

"Then I won't ask...I won't ask..."

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also came out when they heard the movement at the door and greeted them with a smile.

Lin Xiuqing shouted to them outside, "Come in and eat noodles."

"Coming, I'm coming..."

Ye Xiaoxi was so happy that he immediately ran into the house, screaming as he ran.

The really hungry father and son hadn't spoken yet, so they could only follow the little girl into the house.

The two sisters-in-law also followed into the house.

Back, they are family members after all. The two brothers went to sea and haven't come back yet. The two sisters-in-law have to come over and have a look, stop and ask a few words of concern.

When he walked into the room, Ye Xiaoxi had already climbed up on the stool and sat on his seat waiting, "Where are the chopsticks? Where are the spoons? Where are the bowls? Where are the noodles?"

As soon as Lin Xiuqing put a large bowl of noodles on the table, she smiled and poked her forehead, "I'm not asking you to eat, you're running so aggressively."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Get her a small bowl too, and I'll give her some."

"Well, go quickly, go quickly."

Ye Xiaoxi stood up from the stool again on his hands and knees, lying on the table with his hands, stretching his head to look at the noodles in Ye Yaodong's bowl.

"It smells so good."

The adults all smiled and shook their heads. The cute drooling look made everyone couldn't help but smile.

But when they heard the next sentence, everyone couldn't laugh or cry again.

"I was reincarnated as a starving ghost!"

Ye Yaodong paused as he prepared to sandwich noodles for her, and glared at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that about you?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at his eyes and stared back, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Tiantian eats black beans, and grandma said that a starving ghost would be reincarnated."

Everyone now understood that it was a little boy from the neighbor who picked up sheep dung eggs and ate them, but his mother scolded him for being reincarnated as a starving ghost.

Children are like this. They learn extremely quickly. They learn whatever adults tell them, especially when adults often curse and curse. Children as young as several years old can learn it 100%.

"Don't learn everything. This is bad, you know? You can't talk about yourself like that."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded in understanding, but his attention was immediately transferred to the sandwiched noodles.

Lin Xiuqing also turned around to open his suitcase, saying that he would let them eat noodles first and pack the things they brought back before it was too late.

The sisters-in-law also gathered around her to talk, and took a look at what good things Ye Yaodong had brought back.

When Ye Mu heard that they were coming back, she hurried back in a hurry. Even before they finished eating the noodles, Ye Mu's voice could be heard outside.

The question is still the same, and everyone who sees them has to ask it again.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father still lowered their heads to eat noodles. No one looked up, and no one paid attention to her.

"Are you talking? What are you asking? No one answered, what are you doing? You didn't say anything when you came back? What happened?" Mother Ye looked at this and that, curious.

Father Ye gurgled and picked up the bowl, drank all the soup in the bowl before wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "If anything happens, we have to finish the meal before we can talk."

Mother Ye sat down with a smile, "I rushed back immediately when I heard they said you were back. Why is it so sudden this time? In the past, I would have called in advance."

"Well, I came back early because I had nothing to do. If you stay one more day, you will have to pay more for the day's expenses and wages."

"Are you running out of money?"

"Almost, the weather is getting a bit cold, and it's rainy from time to time."

Mother Ye was suspicious, "It's not very cold yet. Is it colder over there than here? It's still very hot during the day, so we still have to wear short sleeves. At most, we can give our children a coat sooner or later."

Father Ye said seriously: "It will be colder than ours. With such a long journey, the weather must be different. It has rained several times over there, one autumn rain and one cold. If it is cold, the difference is not big. , It’s just that the weather is bad, so there’s no need to stay there longer.”

Ye Yaodong didn't say a word. He just said whatever his father wanted, regardless of whether his words didn't match his words or what he said later.

"Oh, it's good to come back safely anyway. No other boats are going on this trip. It's just your boat. The whole family is worried. If you make more or less, you'll be safe."

Father Ye nodded.

"Nothing happened this time, right? Did it go well?"

"Well, it went well."

"Then take a rest at home for a few days. Tomorrow, I will kill the chickens and ducks at home and give you a patch. They are both black and thin."

Listening to Mother Ye's rare tender words, Father Ye was almost moved to tears and nodded.

Ye Yaodong's little eyes looked here and there, already thinking about his mother's reaction after knowing that his father entered the palace for the second time.

Lin Xiuqing said on the ground, "Didn't you say you decided to come back temporarily? Why are there so many toys in the box?"

"When I couldn't go out to the sea, I went out to do some shopping and bought it. Fortunately, I bought it in advance, otherwise I would have come back empty-handed."

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi heard that there was a small toy, he quickly climbed off the stool and said, "My toy."

She opened the hem of her clothes, put all the toys Lin Xiuqing picked out into the hem of her clothes, rolled them up, and held them in her arms.

"Don't tell Dede..."

"Shit, those two have been looking forward to it too."

At this time, A Cai and A Gui also came to get a lighter, and there were two or three people who didn't come and asked them to help them get it.

Ah Caiyou bought another one after Ye Yaodong gave it to him. He felt that there would be no more shops like this one after passing through this village. If the guarantee was not enough, there would be none tomorrow, and he would not be able to buy such a cheap one.

Anyway, his family's conditions are good, and they are not short of these few dollars.

"What lighter?" Except for Lin Xiuqing, none of the women in the room knew about lighters.

Ye Yaodong immediately got up and went to the room where the goods were stored to unpack them and get them.

Mother Ye's eyes went straight as she saw each one of them counting out 8 yuan to buy such a small piece of iron.

"What is this? 8 yuan?"

Father Ye explained to her with a smile, "This is called a lighter. It was just developed by a local researcher. Only A Dong knew the boss so he could bring some back. I heard that the orders are fully booked and the delivery date is three months away." Yes, it was only through our help that we were able to spread out some of the extra goods and bring them back to Dongzi.”

"Are you helping? Don't you want to go to sea?"

"On rainy or rainy days, when the weather is bad and the light is poor, and we can't go out to sea, we help out at home and earn extra money by the way."

"What do you mean? Doing this at home? Your own home? Did you do this at your own home? Doesn't it belong to someone else's boss?"

Father Ye hesitated for a moment, frowned, and thought about it again and again in his mind, and then he briefly explained the matter to her, but did not mention the matter of being caught at all.

Mother Ye slapped her thigh hard before she heard half of it, "What? Dongzi bought a house over there? And became the president? What kind of president, what kind of high official is this?"

No one left, they all looked at Ye Yaodong curiously, wanting to hear more about their experiences on this trip. After all, not everyone could travel far away, and it was his kind of travel that only happened every three days. And made a lot of money.

"I asked you earlier if everything went well and if anything happened? You shook your head at me? You didn't even mention such a big thing. I didn't ask, and you didn't mention it either?"

"It went smoothly. He became the president. Now people over there call him President Ye. He made money smoothly and became an official. His glory has returned."

"It's so beautiful. Why didn't you tell me when I asked? Fortunately, it's about the scenery, otherwise I'd suspect you of being evil."

No matter how angry she is, she can't cover up Ye Mu's beaming expression and suppress her voice.

"nerve."

Ye Yaodong: The truth is here, mother.

As soon as Ye's mother finished speaking, various compliments kept ringing in the room, and they kept asking what the president did.

Father Ye was so arrogant and proud that he taught them science again.

Ah Cai and the others had already heard it once at the dock, but that didn't stop them from hearing it a second time, and once again lamented Ye Yao's good fortune.

After complimenting him, he asked again: "I heard you said at the dock that you came back because of a temporary situation. What happened? I have just been attracted by President Ye and the lighter, so I forgot to say a few words of care. ”

Father Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"Who said that?"

Wasn't he always on guard? I didn't hear Dongzi say. At most, when they docked, they handed over on the sea and said something to Wang Guangliang.

"Who said that? Anyway, the group of people you came back said, it seems they heard it."

Agui added, "Didn't that boy A Liang ask the workers a few words when he was moving the goods?"

Ye Yaodong: Oh, it’s about to be exposed.

Mother Ye frowned and asked quickly: "What happened temporarily? I just said why you came back suddenly and didn't call in advance."

"What did you two do? You didn't say this, you didn't say that, you didn't say anything. You didn't want to talk about the beautiful things? What did you do?"

"You told me seriously that you had nothing to do, so you came back early, and you even mentioned the difference in weather. You were so arrogant. I was deceived by you. What happened to you?"

Father Ye glared at her, "It's just a small situation. What I told you is also true. The weather is cold and there is no money to make, so I came back."

Mother Ye looked at Ye Yaodong, "Tell me, what happened? Why did you decide to come back overnight? You are the only ones outside. The family is worried every day, worried that you will clash with the locals and be arrested or not come back. We burn three incense sticks every morning and evening to pray for Mazu's blessing."

Ye Yaodong coughed dryly, "It's just a small matter, and it's not our business. Didn't I say it? I rented the house to Chairman Fang. His lighter workshop had some problems, so we thought we would come back early."

"Then what's there to not mention?"

"There are some interests involved here, so we can't talk about it."

Mother Ye was skeptical.

If Ah Cai and Ah Gui were not still there, Ye Yaodong would have said it directly. His father just showed that he was saving face and didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, so he didn't want to say it.

He had to help hide it again.

But he felt that there was nothing to hide. If he hid it now, everyone in the village would know it tomorrow. It should be known by most of the village in the evening.

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at Acai and Agui again, "I came back in a hurry today and didn't bring any local specialties. Otherwise, I would have to bring some specialties back to each of you."

"It's okay. Just sell us lighters at a low price. The most important thing is to come back safely."

"Yes, no matter how much you earn, it's not as important as coming back safely. We have to go to the dock at this time. It is estimated that all fishing boats have come back to the shore. We will leave first and don't disturb your family reunion."

"Okay, okay, take care."

After sending the people away, Ye Yaodong raised his feet again and sat down against the wall.

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao also said that they had cooked half of the meals at home and went home to cook first, otherwise the two brothers would have nothing to eat when they came back later.

Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's suspicious eyes, and his father looked uncomfortable again, not daring to look at his mother.

He said helplessly to A Qing: "Take out the cloth bag in the password box and count out 300 yuan for my mother. This is my father's wages for the past month and a half. Take it back to her."

Mother Ye's attention was immediately diverted and she no longer stared at the guilty father Ye.
