Chapter 1159 Almost

After Ye Yaodong settled all the matters and accounts in the city, he immediately drove the tractor back without stopping.

He had been running on the road all day, and it was dark when he got home.

It was getting a little cold in the evening, and there were fewer people sitting outside the door in the village to enjoy the cool air. Only some children were running and jumping on the road. The temperature difference between morning and evening was large, and some had already put on long sleeves and long pants.

The younger ones in their family also wore long sleeves and long pants, and only the older children were still wearing short sleeves, running at the door and sweating profusely.

He was carrying a small box of lighters to the door of his house, and all the sharp-eyed people surrounded him.

"Third uncle..."

"Dad... what are you carrying..."

"Third uncle, we will help you move it..."

A large group of people surrounded him, and more than a dozen hands were stretched out. He was carried away by them before he could say anything.

He had no choice but to follow behind, "Go play, you guys are not so active when you work normally."

The old lady followed happily, "I haven't been home for a while, I just came back, everyone is so sweet."

A Qing also said, "You came back so late, there is old duck soup in the pot, hurry up and eat it, what is this box? Why did you buy things again?"

"Uncle San, what are all these things in here?"

"Lighters."

"Wow, lighters? I have them at home, Aunt San gave one to my dad last night..."

Ye Yaodong asked them to put down the things and sent them out, each of them looked back reluctantly.

"Didn't you just bring lighters to the city? Why did you bring back another box?"

He handed the cloth bag with money to Lin Xiuqing, "I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough to sell, so I gave it away here and there. I feel that there aren't enough left."

"Oh, it's true."

"Sold out?"

"Sold out, and almost all given away. In the evening, A Guang and Xiao Xiao A Zheng came to find you, but you didn't come back, so I gave them one each."

"That's perfect, I brought back another half box of goods."

"Let's eat first, and talk while we eat." The old lady had already filled a big bowl of old duck soup for him, and the rice was also prepared and placed on the table.

"I'll go wash my face and hands first."

"It's much darker, it was white and clean before..."

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand and looked at it. Compared with his face, his hand was a little darker, but compared with most people in the village, it was still normal.

In the village, not to mention the men, most women also have darker skin, which is the result of years of hard work.

Ah Qing's skin is only slightly whiter under his clothes, and his hands are now almost the same color as his.

"Why should I, a grown man, be so white? It doesn't matter, as long as I'm not as black as old tree bark."

Lin Xiuqing opened the cloth bag he handed over and looked at the pile of big and small money inside. "There are quite a few. Dad said that he just paid a salary to the workers who cleaned up the vacant land last month, and distributed it from the sales of the city store."

"The salary is not much, just a few hundred yuan. You count and keep a record."

Ye Yaodong silently calculated. Adding the money he brought back, the dividends from the fishing boat last month, and the sales in the city, their family should have about 240,000 or 250,000 now.

"By the way, it's mid-to-late October now. Have the kelp seedlings in the village been planted?"

"I haven't heard about it. I don't know. Go to the village committee tomorrow to ask."

"Then I'll ask again tomorrow."

He estimated that according to the current weather, he would have to wait until November.

After a simple meal, he went to take a shower again.

Lin Xiuqing was quietly calculating the accounts in the room. He was also thinking that he would go to the village committee first instead of the city tomorrow.

In addition to talking about the kelp planting situation, he also had to call Ye Yaohai to ask about the filling machine. It would be best if he could decide on it over the phone. Then he could go directly to try it out and bring it back after paying the money, saving him the trouble of running back and forth.

By the way, he also asked about the ancestor worship that his father had always been concerned about. It had been more than two months before and after. At that time, he said it was about two months, so it was probably about the same.

From this point of view, things were almost one after another, and he had to be busy next.

Ye Yaodong waited for Ah Qing to count the money, folded the money up and put it away one by one, and then he asked her how much money there was at home.

"Almost 250,000 yuan, I don't have time to count the coins of a few cents, but several buckets are almost full."

"Accumulate them, and when we have free time during the New Year, we will move to the post office to exchange the change for new banknotes."

"Then we need to count them."

"It's just right to give those people with eyes on the top of their heads some work to do, so that they don't look down on others. A few cents of coins can make them headache and spend a whole day."

"I really have to exchange them this year. I have said it several times, but I haven't exchanged them. There is no room in the closet."

"Yeah."

Ye Yaodong didn't remember which year the 100-yuan bill was issued. Anyway, his memory should be around the late 1980s. With so much cash like him, he still had to exchange it for 100-yuan bills to save space.

Money these days is too easy to spend. You can buy things with a few cents. The purchasing power is too strong and the liquidity is also very large.

If his store didn't sell a lot of wholesale, he might have received more change.

"Are you going out tomorrow?"

"I'm not going out tomorrow. I'll call first. What's wrong?"

"No, I want to ask who you want to rent your newly acquired boat No. 003 to. It has just been back for two or three days. It's just right for you to rent it out. We can also have another boat income."

"Oh, let's see tomorrow. Just spread the word. There are many people who want to rent it."

"It depends on your opinion. You are the head of the family. Now that I am back, of course I will listen to you. It depends on who you want to rent it to."

Ye Yaodong smiled and moved over, hugged her and touched her all over, "Listen to me?"

Lin Xiuqing slapped his dirty pig hand away and said unhappily: "What do you say to me? What are you thinking about?"

"I have been away for more than a month. If I don't think about the two words on your chest, you will be suspicious."

"Then why did you go to bed early last night!"

"Damn... I knew you were always thinking about it. Fortunately, I held on to it and didn't let go." He said with a little more force.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glared at him, "I am thinking about your safe return."

"I know, I understand. I didn't sleep well on the boat yesterday. I almost didn't sleep all night. So I was too tired when I came back. I went to bed early. I must not go to bed so early at night."

"You also ran back and forth today."

"That doesn't matter. People are back. I have to satisfy you first. I'll be a little tired, otherwise I will fall asleep when I lie down later."

"You are taking advantage of me..."

"Raise your hands, cooperate..."

The couple took off their clothes step by step, touching and kissing, and moved to the bed little by little.

But just as the two lay down, Ah Guang's voice was heard outside.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but Ye Xiaoxi had already pushed the door in with a bang, and was still chattering.

"Sister, it's on the bed, I'll get it for you... give you one..."

"Dad? Are you asleep? Mom is going to sleep too?"

Ye Yaodong was busy covering Ah Qing with a blanket, glaring at her angrily, and whispering a debt collector.

Her pants were taken off, and she was almost scared to death.

When he came in to get his shorts after taking a shower, he forgot to lock the door.

He shouted to Ah Guang outside, "Wait for me, I just came back, just took a shower, I'll go get some clothes to put on."

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know anything, she climbed onto the bed with her hands and feet, looking for the few dolls and some small toys that Ye Yaodong brought back for her yesterday.

Pei Yu stood by the bed and watched curiously.

Lin Xiuqing was so embarrassed, her cheeks were red, and she was holding the blanket tightly, but Ye Xiaoxi was still talking about her doll and pulling the blanket to find her doll.

She could only pull the quilt under her body to prevent it from being lifted up, and the child would start to yell again.

"Take the ones in the corner of the bed and play with them. If you can't find them, look for them tomorrow. Mom has a cold and a headache and needs to go to bed. Don't make a fuss."

"Mom is sick?"

Ye Xiaoxi stopped looking for toys and quickly crawled over and lay on her. She also stretched out her little hand to touch her forehead and her face.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to take medicine or get an injection?"

After Ye Yaodong found his clothes, he quickly returned to the bed and took Ye Xiaoxi down from her.

"Just don't bother your mother. She will be fine tomorrow."

Ye Xiaoxi broke free from his arms and lay back on the bed, then reached out and patted Lin Xiuqing's chest.

"Then I'll go out. Mom, you go to bed. I won't bother you."

"Go, go."

Ye Xiaoxi leaned over and kissed her cheek.

Pei Yu followed suit and kissed her, and then the two sisters went out hand in hand.

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing with a painful expression, sighed silently, and followed them out.

Lin Xiuqing pulled the quilt over her head and made up her mind not to let him touch her before the middle of the night.

There were one, two, and three children at home. They kept calling her "mother" whenever they were at home. If they didn't see her for a while, they would look for her. The second and third children were still young, so they were better. If Ye Chenghu caught them, it would be embarrassing.

Ah Guang was sitting at the table with his legs crossed playing with a lighter. When he saw Ye Yaodong coming out, he asked, "Just got back, President Ye?"

"Isn't it? I've been running back and forth. I just got home, had dinner and took a shower, and before I even sat down in my room, you're here again."

"How was this trip? Why did I hear that you guys were in jail again today?"

"It wasn't me. I didn't. It didn't include me."

"Then are the rumors true? Others were in jail again? Were they redeemed again?"

"I don't know if they were redeemed. I was just implicated. Someone else arranged it."

Ye Yaodong briefly told him that it was because he rented his house to someone else as a workshop. The number of workers in the workshop exceeded the limit, so everyone was implicated and went in together.

"That's good, you've gained a lot from this trip."

"It's okay, at least it's not a wasted trip."

"You're President Ye now, how many tables are you going to set up?"

"You're crazy, if I set up a few tables, people will spread the rumor that I gave birth to another son."

"Hahaha..."

"Shall I ask Aqing to prepare two dishes and have some drinks?"

"No need, didn't you just say that the third sister-in-law is sick? It's really easy to get sick during the change of seasons, don't bother, I just heard that you're back, and today I heard someone spread the rumor with details, so I just came over to chat. I went to my father's place last night, and he told me everything except the fact that he was in prison."

Ye Yaodong also laughed, "This is not a glorious thing, my father definitely doesn't want to talk about it."

"Well, I don't have much to do. I just brought the kids here to play and check if you're back. Are you going out tomorrow?"

"I shouldn't go out tomorrow."

"Oh, then go and rest. Anyway, you're back. Let's drink together tomorrow after you've rested enough."

"Okay."

After sending him away, Ye Yaodong went back to the house.

Lin Xiuqing was already dressed and sitting at the table, tidying it up.

He walked over and hugged her from behind, "I was scared to death. I just went soft."

"See if you will do this again next time. You don't even lock the door. You know the kids are making a fuss at home."

"I saw them playing well outside. I just took a shower. I came in to find clothes to change. It's not like I was horny. I had this idea long ago."

"Then you've been out for more than a month, and you really didn't think about this?"

"It's two different things. How could I not think about it? I couldn't do anything outside. Of course I was in a hurry when I came back. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to wait until the kids fell asleep? I just came in after taking a shower. I was thinking about changing clothes. I was horny when I saw you. . "

"Hmph... stop making trouble, or he'll come in again later. If you're tired, go to sleep. I'll go out and take a look."

"Forget it, you should just lie down. You're sick, and A Guang should still be outside watching the child."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Really."

"Forget it, let's lie down together. You're sick and I'm tired, so let's lie down together."

"Lock the door."

"Forget it, locking it feels like you're trying to cover up something. Your daughter hasn't even entered the house yet."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his limp body. He was just shocked, and now he didn't have the heart to do it, but he could lie down and talk. He fell asleep last night because they didn't have time to talk.

"Then don't touch me."

"I'll just touch it, nothing else. Is there anything new in the village during this period of time?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't slap his hand away, so she let him go, and then told him what happened in the village during this period of time. The one he talked about at dinner time last night was a big deal, and the others were all trivial matters.

It's a tiny village, so there won't be any big things happening in a short time.

"Oh, by the way, A Guang's sister Yingqiu has already talked to Captain Chen, and Captain Chen has already submitted a report. It's just waiting for approval. It should be soon, right?"

"So fast?"

"Both of them are old, and Captain Chen has been in the army and doesn't have so many female comrades to contact. The two have met and talked, and they think it's okay, so they must be settled quickly. But it hasn't been publicized yet. Her parents have remembered that Yingqiu has promised to kiss several times, and each time it has caused a lot of uproar. If it doesn't work out this time, it will really be criticized to death."

"Well, there is really no need to talk about it, and it's not about the surrounding villages anyway. Wait until it's set in stone, and then talk about it."

"Also, my second brother said that he also learned to drive a tractor from the tractor driver in the village."

Ye Yaodongyi He was a little surprised, but he also felt that it was good. "Very good. When you learn how to drive, you can buy a tractor. It will be convenient for you to drive passengers to make money or to drive fruits from the foot of the mountain."

"Yes, I went home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then my father mentioned it to my second brother. The next day, my brother took two kilograms of pork to find someone with a tractor in the village and learned how to drive a tractor."

He thought about it and said, "When the time comes, let him hire someone to take care of the mountain and land at home, or rent it out directly and buy a tractor to drive goods in the city. There are always more opportunities in the city than in the countryside, and the demand for tractors in the city will be greater. There are a lot of tractors and trucks coming and going in the market every day."

These days, drivers are still very popular. Driving a tractor in the city is much better than farming at home.

Most of the family went to the city, leaving his second brother at home to look after the house. When the gap is too big, he will always feel uncomfortable.

"That's what my father said. Although he also loves the family land, he just asked relatives to take care of it first."

"Well, if you are worried that you can't drive well, you can come to our place to live for a few days to practice. Other people's tractors are not easy to practice with, and the gas money is a lot."

"Then I will talk to him when the time comes. I don't know how well he has learned in the past month, but he should be able to do it."

"This is simple. You can basically learn it after a few times and drive it twice. It's just a matter of proficiency."

Just as the couple was talking, the door was knocked again.

Ye Yaodong was lying outside, and Lin Xiuqing asked him to get up and open the door, "I'm sick, you go."

"Fortunately, he didn't do anything, otherwise he would be scared to half paralysis."

She laughed behind him.

He opened the door and saw that it was the old lady. "What are you doing?"

"I heard that Aqing is sick. It should be because of the wind at night. It's cooler in the morning and evening now. It's autumn and the wind is bad. It's easy to catch a cold. I made her a bowl of ginger tea. Drink it and sweat. She will be fine tomorrow."

He took it with a guilty conscience. "It's nothing. She just said she had a headache. She will be fine tomorrow after lying down all night. Why bother?"

"Minor problems can be delayed into major problems. Drink a bowl of ginger tea now, and you will be fine tomorrow. Otherwise, it may be more serious tomorrow. It will be more troublesome to infect you and the children. The wind is not good recently. Don't sleep with your bare chest. What if you catch a cold at night?"

As she said that, the old lady reached out and touched his arm. "Look, it's all cold. I'll make you a bowl too. Drink more. Don't take it lightly."

Ye Yaodong could only sigh in his heart and watched her run to get ginger tea again.

"I put brown sugar in it, it's sweet and delicious, don't be reluctant, or I'll peel some longan meat for you to put in?" The old lady brought another bowl and coaxed him with a smile.

"No, don't bother."

He held a bowl in one hand and went into the house and put it on the table.

"Get up, drink a bowl and you won't be sick tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing was also speechless, "You acted so quickly, let you lie, you see."

"Didn't you say that? Just treat it as a prevention of colds, she was idle, she just heard about it, and immediately ran to boil ginger soup, one bowl each, don't waste it, and put brown sugar in it, by the way, it can replenish your blood."

The couple resigned themselves to their fate and drank a bowl each, and Ye Yaodong took the bowl out again.

The old lady had already run out to call a few children, and asked them to drink ginger soup too.

An old voice that coaxed and deceived came from outside into the house, but the children were shouting no, and then continued to play, no one cared about her.

Ye Yaodong frowned and walked out, watching the big and small children running in the open space in front of the house, and there was a boy jumping on one foot to catch people.

He shouted, "Come back here, you didn't listen to me."

"What are you doing? Dad."

Ye Yaodong gently patted Ye Chengyang on the back of his head, "Go in and drink a bowl of ginger soup each, you didn't listen to me, you turned a deaf ear to me?"

"Right away."

The three children were called by him and ran into the house, and the old lady also walked back to the house happily.

Ye Yaodong shook his head and complained in his heart, he was really idle.

He left the three little ancestors to the idle old ancestor and went back into the house.

"You feel good, you can lie down directly, no need to get up again, I have to go in and out again."

"Who knows, I just said it casually, and it really came true. It's your fault, you are so anxious. You can call them back to sleep when it's almost 9 o'clock, and check the doors and windows by the way."

Ye Yaodong climbed onto the bed and pressed on her directly, "Now everyone knows that you are sick, and no one will come in to disturb you."

Lin Xiuqing laughed.

He had just drunk a bowl of thick ginger soup, and he felt a little hot. He had recovered from the shock just now, but now he was a little distracted again when he was pressed on her.

"Is it hot? I feel a little hot, take off your clothes, anyway, you don't have to go out if you are sick, I will call them back to sleep later."

She smiled and patted him, "Is the door locked?"

"Locked."

The couple recovered and started to do their long-lost daily exercise.

But the battle was over in a few moves, and Lin Xiuqing believed that he had not cheated during this period.

"Don't laugh."

"I'm not laughing."

"Your eyes and eyebrows are moving, and you still say you're not laughing."

"My mouth isn't laughing."

"Wait for me, wait for me to recover, I just haven't done it for too long."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can say whatever you want, get up first, stop pressing me when you're done, take it out."

Ye Yaodong was also depressed by her laughter, and he couldn't help laughing himself, "Fuck."

"Lie down to the side, I know you're just afraid that someone will come and knock on the door again, so hurry up and make it a quick decision." Lin Xiuqing teased him with a smile.

Ye Yaodong opened his palm, covered her face, and rubbed it back and forth.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and dodged, kicked him hard before getting up.

"Go get me a basin of water, I'm sick."

"Damn! You really ordered me."

"Go quickly, I'm sick."

"Fuck!"

Ye Yaodong glared at her, had to resign himself to getting up, pulled up his pants and went to get her some water.

Lin Xiuqing also reminded him from behind, "If the old lady sees you, tell her that I have a headache and can't get up, and fetch me some water to wash my feet."

"Then she will have to grab it and say that this is not something a grown man like me can do, and she will do it."

"Uh...then tell her that I drank ginger tea, sweated a lot, and felt uncomfortable, and fetched me some water to wipe my feet."

"Too much to do!"

I will definitely update it tomorrow during the day
