Chapter 1173: Go to Worship the Ancestors

Ye Yaodong finally realized that raising a daughter was more troublesome than raising a son.

She wants everything she sees, she cries when scolded, and reluctant to give up when beaten. In the end, she can only let her go home with a smile and a full load.

Then, he couldn't bear to do anything to her. When he got home, her mother would ask what he did to him.

"Why did you buy so much? Did you move a whole stall back?"

Ye Yaodong is also very innocent. Ye Xiaoxi points to this thing and that thing, asking for nothing less. If he objects, he will say loudly, "You promised, I promised," and there is nothing that can harm him.

This also gave him a memory, and he could not make promises to his children casually.

I really remember it so well.

If you backhand yourself, you will screw yourself up.

And since he was still young and ignorant, he was the only one who got scolded.

Even if he is a dead Taoist friend and not a poor Taoist, he still wants to struggle to the death.

Ye Yaodong pointed at Ye Xiaoxi and said indignantly: "You scold her. She wants everything she wants. It's none of my business."

Ye Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at him with confusion, then turned to see her mother glaring at her fiercely. She hurriedly hid in the old lady's place and called out in a low voice, "Auntai..."

"I bought it as soon as I bought it... I just happened to knit a sweater for A Dong. It's getting cold, so I need a few more clothes to change when working on the ship, otherwise I'll get wet all the time, and I'll catch a cold when the weather gets cold."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but hold her forehead. From old to young, she didn't worry about anything, she only thought about what she wanted to think about.

"You don't even look at how much you buy. If she wants you to buy it, will you eat shit if she asks you to?"

"I'll give it to you, but I won't eat it."

She was so angry that she slapped him hard twice, which made her speechless.

Ye Yaodong shrugged his shoulders and carried it, "Okay, buy it all, buy it all."

"You weave."

"I can't, what would I need you to do if I could?"

"Then you still buy so much."

"I told you, she wants it."

"You can't buy so much. How many kilograms do you have? There are dozens of bundles here, all in various colors, weighing at least ten kilograms. A normal adult can knit a piece of clothing with two kilograms, but a child can weigh it. One more kilogram, I’m only one and a half kilograms, and you can’t get more than two kilograms.”

"Then let's knit a few more pieces. Haha, the whole family can arrange it. It's cold in winter, so it just so happens that the whole family can arrange it... If you have money, you can't treat yourself badly. If you have two pieces for each adult in the family, it's almost the same if you add children. It's not much. ? It’s not much at all, maybe it’s not enough, my daughter calculated it just right,” Ye Yaodong said flatteringly.

Lin Xiuqing was furious, "Isn't it enough? Have I finished knitting? Can you still get a new sweater every year?"

"You have to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. There are a lot of people in the family. It's almost time to knit from now on. Everyone will have new sweaters to wear during the Chinese New Year, right? It's okay, just do it this way. Let the old and the young do it for you later. I’ll roll these yarns into balls for you to make it easier for you to weave.”

Ye Xiaoxi suddenly shouted: "I don't want mother, I want the sweater knitted by father."

Ye Yaodong rarely glared at her, "Shut up, I'll beat you up if I keep nagging you."

"I'm going to make you mad to death. You are so careless when buying something. Rainbow sweaters all the time, rainbow sweaters..."

After Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she pointed at Ye Xiaoxi and said, "Come here and clean up the work yourself."

Ye Xiaoxi lingered but didn't move, looking at this and that, still hiding behind the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. How can she do it? I have to wait until she is older."

Ye Yaodong quickly took the opportunity to sneak out.

When he ran to the yard, he still heard Lin Xiuqing nagging, "He ran away again in the blink of an eye. He knew he had done something wrong and ran away first. The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked...the two little ones..."

He quickened his pace, and what he said behind him was inaudible.

I also felt relieved.

It’s not a matter of money, it seems that I bought too much. After weighing and loading the basket, Ye Xiaoxi grabbed a lot more, and then there were more after weighing.

It’s impossible not to do it, because after she took it around, some of it fell on the floor and became dirty, or it was messed up by her little hands and became a little messy, so I could only pinch my nose to recognize it.

Fortunately, he was smart behind the scenes and stuck the person between his legs while paying, otherwise someone who didn't pay attention would have been harmed by her again.

I won’t take it out next time.

He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was only after 9 o'clock.

I got up early in the morning and went to the town to buy wool. It didn't take much effort to ride a bicycle back and forth. Now that I have some free time, I just happened to go to the village committee to have a look.

However, most people work from early to late, so it was too late when he went there at this time. They had already gone to work at sea and had not returned yet, so he had to wait until lunch time to follow.

Fortunately, it is autumn now, and the recent typhoon has not passed yet. Although it has not been affected, the sun is not that strong, and it is quite cool.

While he was waiting for the afternoon, he followed the workers invited by the village committee and two people in the village who were responsible for learning to cultivate kelp, and they all rowed a small boat to visit the offshore base.

In the past few days, I didn't dare to plant seedlings because of the typhoon. I just prepared in advance and waited for the typhoon to pass before planting seedlings. It only took two or three days for the sea to be ready.

Nowadays, there are no ready-made seedlings. You have to take the seedlings and cultivate them by yourself. After growing them to a length of more than ten centimeters, they can be cut out and clipped to the rope.

It is best to clamp the seedlings about 15 cm long. After dividing the seedlings into equal parts and clamping them, all you need to do is manage them.

For example, the seedling rope needs to float on the sea surface and cannot sink into the depths of the sea. Otherwise, without sunlight, the roots will rot and cannot grow.

There are no special circumstances, and no other tedious things need to be done. The most troublesome thing is these preliminary work.

Then we can harvest in April and May next year. One mu of kelp can yield about 5,000 kilograms, and the yield can reach higher when it is good.

Ye Yaodong took a look. This is the first year, and there are not many experiments. The village committee took about ten mu of offshore base for trial.

Doing a little bit first can also reduce the risk. After all, we don’t expect to make money at the beginning. As long as we can successfully raise it, it will be fine.

He also helped with the work on the sea. It took two hours to come back from the sea. He didn’t have the energy to go home, and he discussed it with everyone in the village committee.

After going to the sea to take a look, he also had a good idea in his mind. He could plant the seedlings immediately. After the seedlings are grown, it will be quick to divide and clip the seedlings.

In the next two days, he was idle at home. Seeing that the sea was calm, he also participated in planting the seedlings.

Even his father became curious and followed to take a look.

Ye's father sighed that if the breeding could be successful, the whole village would have an additional source of income, and they would not have to go out to do odd jobs or rely on that small piece of land to make a living.

Everyone can participate in breeding together, and they can also have an additional skill to make a living, and the whole village can make money.

After all, only a small number of people are now well-off, and most of them are still living a hard life, hovering on the poverty line.

Moreover, many wealthy families who are now living a good life have benefited from Ye Yaodong.

In the past few years, he has rented out more than a dozen boats on and off, and hired a lot of boatmen. For example, he often hired dozens of people when he went to Zhejiang Province, and he also sold the small boats.

Some women in the workshop can also earn some money to supplement their family expenses.

It also stimulated the passion of some fishermen in the village to buy boats.

Now most people would rather owe money than get a boat, hoping to slowly accumulate assets and get rich like Ye Yaodong.

With more boats, the amount of goods received by Acai at the dock also increased, and the money earned naturally increased.

Although their village now has fewer fishing boats than the town, it should not be underestimated. The number of boats in several nearby villages combined is not as many as their village.

When he stood at the door of his house and looked at the dock, he could see the beautiful scenery. The fishing boats stayed at the dock and swayed with the wind. In the past, there were only a few small boats scattered around, but now it looks much more spectacular.

"Whether it will succeed or not depends on next year. It's a bit early to say these things now. If it succeeds, of course the whole village will benefit."

"I hope it will succeed. By then, our village will have large-scale breeding, and the level of the villagers in the whole village will be improved. It will become a wealthy village in the surrounding area. At that time, it will definitely be rated as a model, which is also glorious."

"Don't talk about these things. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to do these things. Just help me drive the boat. You can't go out to sea when you are old, and you can still show me the workshop."

Father Ye nodded happily, "That's good. I will show you the workshop and sit at the door to bask in the sun."

"Go back and prepare, and tell your uncle and second uncle. We will sail to the provincial capital tomorrow morning."

"What time?"

"4 o'clock? A little earlier, go earlier and arrive earlier."

"That's fine."

He was thinking about arriving early and talking to Lao Hai about the machine at that time, but he didn't know if he went back early.

It is very likely that they will be empty-handed when they arrive tomorrow, and they can only ask for directions all the way.

Thinking of this, he thought about going to the village committee immediately to make a phone call first, and it would be best if he could ask them to wait for a while.

"Let's set this time for now. I'll go to the village committee to make a phone call and ask. It's best to discuss a time to go with Lao Hai, so that there will be someone to lead the way, and we don't have to ask around and waste time."

"That's the best, you go quickly."

"I don't know if it will be too late, and they may leave early."

"Ask first, after all, they are young, there is nothing to do, and there is no need to go so early."

Ye Yaodong responded and went to the village committee again.

Fortunately, he called in time. Originally, they were planning to go home at noon tomorrow. Now they made an appointment with him to wait for them to go together, about 2 pm, which is not too late.

Ye Yaohai also responded immediately and waited for them.

After he came out of the village committee, he ran to the old house to talk to his father, and then went home to prepare.

Lin Xiuqing listened to his instructions and knew that he would be gone for several days, so she turned out all his clothes and put them in the suitcase.

When Ye Yaodong looked through them, he was extremely satisfied. They were all newly made. He didn't know when she made so many.

"How thoughtful! When did you make so many new clothes?"

"It would be strange if I knew when you were not at home."

"Then you didn't ask me to try them when I came back."

"You are not at home all day long. I don't see you except when you eat and sleep. I am also very busy. These clothes have been made a long time ago. I bought fabrics and made new clothes for you two or three months ago when I knew you were going to worship your ancestors. I forgot about it after a long time. Anyway, I have compared them with your old clothes and there is no difference. There is no need to ask you to try them."

"Okay, take out one set to wear tomorrow and put the others away."

"I have taken out the ones I want to wear and put them on the table."

He turned around and saw that there was another set neatly folded on the table.

"You made so many?"

"No, this one looks newer than your old one. Anyway, we are only going to the provincial capital tomorrow. Half of the way is on the sea, and the other half of the way has to be taken by car. It must be dirty. You can just wear new clothes the day after tomorrow. ”

"I just said how could you make me so many new clothes? It turns out there are only two sets."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "Don't you know anything about it? What's the difference between the clothes you wear every day and those you wear at work? You've just worn them to the sea, how can you wear any clothes to show off to others."

"It's good to give you these two sets. If you don't wear them tomorrow, you'll go to the sea in them."

"If I weren't afraid that you would be embarrassed when you went out to meet people without decent clothes, I wouldn't do it for you."

"It doesn't matter what you do at home. Of course you have to be dignified when you go out, let alone a big event like ancestor worship."

Ye Yaodong saw her crackling a lot and didn't care what she said. He just nodded anyway.

"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

"I've polished your leather shoes, wrapped them in cloth and put them in your suitcase. You can wear them the day after tomorrow. You'd better wear Jiefang shoes tomorrow instead of rain boots."

"I know, although I'm taking a boat, I'm not fishing, so I don't need to wear rain boots. Wearing rain boots is too smelly."

"Um."

After the matter was finished, he leaned his head over and praised shamelessly, "My wife is so considerate and virtuous."

"go……"

He laughed.

When he went to the dock early the next morning, his father was already there, but half of the people hadn't arrived yet, so they had to wait a while.

At this time, the fishing boats that were supposed to go out to sea had already gone out, and they were the only ones still waiting there.

Just when he was impatient to wait and wanted to leave directly, the light of someone's flashlight came flickering in the distance.

Father Ye quickly shouted loudly: "If you don't go faster, we will leave directly, slowly."

"Let's get on the boat first." Ye Yaodong took the lead and walked to the boat on the shore.

"hurry up……"

Finally, the people behind me trotted over. As soon as they got on the boat, the boat started to move before they could stand firm.

"Ouch, please slow down, my new clothes are going to be stained."

Ye Yaodong shined the flashlight on his second uncle, and then on several of his cousins. It turned out that several of them had already put on their new clothes.

Father Ye saw it and said, "What new clothes are you wearing in the middle of the night? Who are you showing them to?"

"Isn't it true that we don't have any decent clothes at home? It's just autumn. Apart from a newly made set, the house has been mended and mended in previous years. If we are worshiping our ancestors during the New Year, we can still get the cotton-padded jackets from last year's New Year. , you can wear it first.”

"Yes, the old clothes at home are only for work, and they are all patched. It's not good to just wear them to the provincial capital. I might as well get new clothes and put them on first. After all, I have to meet people when I go somewhere. "

"Yes, I don't have anything else at home except tattered clothes for work. I only made a new set some time ago just to wear when going to the provincial capital, so I put them on at night."

Having said this, Ye Yaodong had nothing to say.

It is indeed true.

They are all working people, so there is no such thing as good clothes. The clothes worn during daily work are easy to get damaged, and so does he.

Except for the lack of patches on his clothes, there is no difference between what he wears in the village and what he wears at sea. No one can laugh at anyone. Everyone is the same. The unpatched clothes on his body are considered good.

Everyone continued to discuss the matter of clothes, and they stopped talking until the boat reached the Dongsheng again and everyone changed to the Dongsheng.

The new topic revolves around the Dongsheng No. and Ye Yaodong.

Let Ye Yaodong not forget his roots and not forget that he cannot write two characters "ye" in one stroke. We are all a family and we must help each other...

Ye Yaodong was surrounded by them, and Ye's father ran to sail the boat because he was afraid of losing time.

After he dealt with them casually for a few words, he turned around and climbed up to the helm to change with his father and let his father deal with them.

Except for the first two years when his eldest aunt fell in love with her and asked them to fuck her more often, later she found that he was not able to get enough of her, and every time she came over, she did not ask for favors. Either his mother would fight him back, or his two sisters-in-law would chase her for her. The debt and face were all gone, so I didn’t want to come here anymore.

It was quite peaceful for a long time.

And his second cousin Ye Yaofan is also honest, and the family has calmed down a lot.

In the year after he was released, people from the village frequently came to ask for debts, and there was no way he could get it later. Seeing how diligently he worked, they could only come to remind him every now and then, but it didn't make the trouble particularly ugly.

As for his second uncle's family, the second aunt specially made trouble for Ye Yaosheng and kept worrying about him not having a wife.

Later, I got a wife, but because I didn’t have a son, I kept struggling.

Sung several big plays.

His second uncle was quite lively. After seeing him make a fortune, he would occasionally come to visit him, trying to repair the relationship and please him.

However, knowing that he is not easy to talk to, he usually chats with his father to connect with his brother.

She is not much different from his eldest aunt, but his eldest aunt is more disgusting.

In general, there wasn't much discord in the future. Although he was jealous and wanted a piece of the pie, he wouldn't harm his own family.

Knowing that there is no bargaining, and it is he who is getting rich, not his father, he can at most come and chat, repair the relationship and show his face.

He doesn't like them too much. Everyone has their own thoughts. Who doesn't want to be friends with rich people, let alone his own family members. They are all relatives anyway, so normal interactions are fine.

Moreover, he is not at home often, so Lin Xiuqing can handle everything.

The fragrance is far away and the smell is close. They have always maintained a distance of neither far nor close, but now they are quite harmonious.

As for his eldest brother, his second brother, and several cousins ​​from his second uncle's family, after discussing the jellyfish matter before, they talked it out and there was no conflict.

Nowadays, when we meet, we always say hello politely and can chat for a few words. The dirty thing is that the cousins ​​are not distributed evenly with others.

In fact, it is best for there to be less entanglements of interests between relatives and friends, otherwise it is easy to turn against each other no matter how good the relationship is.

But that’s easier said than done.

Chinese people value human touch the most.

Ye Yaodong drove the boat and paid attention to the time, and turned the power to the maximum. He was also worried about making people wait for a long time when they dragged him.

From dusk to dawn, and then to sunrise, he switched to his father to drive and went to the cabin to catch up on his sleep.

The others had been on the boat all night and were already exhausted and had nothing to say. They were all very silent, which was just enough for him to squint and fall asleep.

When he arrived, it was just after noon, and within the estimated time, he was also called up.

"arrive?"

"We're here, quickly grab your luggage and get ready to disembark."

Ye Yaodong walked to the deck carrying the password box. Everyone looked at the cloth bag in his hand and cast envious glances.

"Dongzi's suitcase is so beautiful. It's so stylish. It looks like a big boss."

"Dongzi was originally a big boss. He owned boats, shops and cars. Now he is called President Ye."

"Yeah, how much does this lockbox cost? We haven't seen anyone carrying it there..."

Ye Yaodong just wanted to say that he didn't put on the toad glasses, nor did he put on his leather shoes.

Even if you are pretending, you are only half pretending.

"I don't have much money, only a few dozen yuan, so I can afford it."

"Then you can't afford it. If you can afford it, you can afford it. Buying this thing for a few dozen yuan is not the same as taking out my heart and soul."

"Haha, Dongzi is also a person with status now. He needs to get the lockbox when going out."

hehe……

Ye Yaodong casually put the password box on the stool and prepared for the fishing boat to dock.

As soon as the fishing boat shook, the lockbox fell to the deck. He just glanced at it and ignored it because he had to be busy with work.

The others felt extremely distressed, even though it was obviously not theirs, they felt more distressed than him.

I quickly ran over to pick up his suitcase, blew the dust out, and wiped it clean with a cloth.

"Let me help you get it, it's not stable if you put it away."

He nodded.

The person who helped to take it was Uncle Ye. After he took it in his hand, everyone held their heads high and their chests high consciously. They felt confident.

After Ye Yaodong got close to the boat and wanted to take it, Erbo Ye took his hand back and said with a smile, "I'll help you get it. You're busy at any time, so it won't be good if you leave it anywhere. It's a valuable thing anyway. What a pity it is to be corroded by sea water?”

Ye Yaodong was a bit dumbfounded.

His second uncle is also a talented person. He is actually quite flexible and can carry a bag for his nephew.

"That's not appropriate. You are my second uncle. Why are you helping me carry my suitcase..."

"It's okay, what do you have? The whole family can help you get what you have?"

Father Ye also chuckled, "I'll do it, what do you want me to do?"

"All right."

Ye Yaodong followed everyone ashore.

Except for him and his father, no one here has been to the provincial capital before. Everyone’s neck is stretched out. It’s like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It’s extraordinarily novel. Their eyes are looking around, as if it’s not enough. They all kept talking excitedly.

He didn't care about these people. He just asked them to wait at the dock and not run around. He went to find Lao Hai first.

Ye Yaohai also kept his promise and waited on the pier. When he saw him coming ashore, he also walked towards him. After the two met, they both smiled and said hello.

"How was the boat ride all the way? You have to take a car later, can you bear it?"

"It's not a big deal, I've been tossing like this for three days and two, no one on the sea can bear it, it's a common occurrence."

"Okay, so your uncles and brothers over there are all here, right? Are they all here together?"

"Yes, everyone is waiting over there."

"Okay, let's go early. We can still make it in time for dinner when we arrive. I've already prepared the car. Let's just take the tractor."

Ye Yaodong led him towards the group of people at his house, "Okay, it's too late. If I had known, I would have come a day earlier, and I could have talked to you about the machine and plastic bags."

"The same goes for chatting on the road, or you can take time to chat when you get to the village. Anyway, you can stay a few more days. The running water mat is set up for three days. If you don't eat enough and go back, wouldn't it be a waste of time, haha."

"Hahaha, eating is secondary. I have to worship my ancestors properly. I haven't worshiped my ancestors for many years. I have to worship my ancestors all at once, so that my ancestors can bless me in the future. Otherwise, our family has long been forgotten."

"Okay, then you can spend all the time you have eating to pay homage."

The two of them walked up to everyone while talking. Father Ye smiled and said, "What do you mean, do you want to pay homage to your ancestors?"

"A Dong said that he wanted to pay homage to his ancestors more and ask for their blessings. He said he would not eat the flowing water mat, and he would be unable to kneel down until then."

Ye Yaodong was happy.

"Nonsense, that's what he said. You have to pay homage to your ancestors more, and of course you have to eat. If you eat more, your ancestors will bless you more. This is a rare good day."

"Let me introduce to you..."

"It's too late, let's talk while we walk."

"That's fine, let's talk while we walk."

The tractor was parked on the side, and there was no one else except the driver sitting in the front.

Ye Yaohai also sat in the truck bed with them. Everyone naturally put their bags on the ground and sat on the cushions.

This made Ye Yaodong suffer, as he could only squat.

However, Ye Yaohai pressed down his luggage and gave him half of it, so that the two of them could talk in private.

Ye Yaodong first introduced everyone in the car to him, and then asked him about the machine.

"Everything has been arranged, just waiting to be shipped. Later, I went to ask you about the packaging bags, and found out that the equipment is also sold in the provincial capital, but there is only one store, and it is quite expensive, I heard it costs tens of thousands of yuan."

"But if you have a plan in mind and know what to use it for, you can make money. For example, those ice bags, you don't know how many tens of thousands of bags are sold a day, and people come to wholesale from towns and cities."

"I also found out after asking around. The ice bags only last for two months. They are everywhere. They are not hard. People buy them even if they are a little cool. No one dislikes them."

"Don't look at the cheapness of the things, but you can get your money back in less than two months."

He nodded, "I don't do this, Anyway, it's cheaper, so it doesn't matter if I wait slowly. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just wait until the ancestor worship is over and I return to the city. I'll trouble you to take me to the plastic bag factory to have a look. I also need to order bags. "

"No problem. I'm familiar with the provincial capital anyway."

"How long does it take to get to the village by tractor?"

"It depends. About three hours. It's about time for dinner."

"Does the ancestral hall provide dinner?"

"Yes, it's just right that we start providing dinner today. Because I have to work tomorrow and prepare for work today, I'll start providing dinner today and start the buffet tomorrow."

"Okay."
