Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1224 The Private Money Is Gone (10,000 Yen)

Father Ye was sitting at home, and life came from heaven.

As soon as I returned to my home after dinner, I sat in front of my house and played with my private seal, bragging to my neighbors that it would be of great use in the future, when I was dragged away by a bunch of grandchildren running over.

"What? Did your third uncle call you here? He can really give me jobs...I can't even take a breath..."

"I'm going to walk by myself. Don't pull me away. Don't rush me. I'll go and take a look. I'll surround you when I get back..."

"You still need a scarecrow, why are you working so hard? You will find something for me to do every day..."

He babbled as he walked, "Fortunately, there are no banana trees planted. Otherwise, you would have to ask me to climb trees and cut bananas? How long can I keep you busy with my old bones?"

"If I plant banana trees, I won't need you..."

"Yes, you are all monkeys."

After Ye Yaodong came in from the pier, he passed by the workshop and turned to his own workshop to watch everyone talking about killing fish in full swing.

They encountered a law enforcement ship arresting a smuggling fishing boat at sea. After one night, it had already spread to the public.

It was just this morning that he went directly to the sea and didn't hear anything. He only heard it now.

However, no one thought that people around their village would be arrested. They just gloated and talked about the misfortune, otherwise they would have been sad.

And it was reported that they fished some foreign smoke from the water.

Let’s just say there is no wall that is airtight.

But he doesn't care, he doesn't care, if it can be spread there, it will be spread to the relevant departments in the city.

If something is fished out of the sea, one would not send people to spit it out with great fanfare. It is not a cultural relic, and the law is not perfect.

And the few cigarettes he caught were nowhere compared to the three large shipments that were detained.

The most everyone can do is spread the word around. These days, there is a lack of information, the news does not circulate, and it cannot be spread to the city.

It’s exciting now, but a few days later there will be other news.

"So, I still have to work for A Dong, and I can take advantage of everything I get. I have never smoked foreign cigarettes in my life..."

"I don't think you've ever seen one in your life."

"Indeed... who would be willing to take it out and smoke it."

"I think they all took it to town to change money today."

"This can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money. It seems that A Dong has made a fortune again. I heard that A Guo and others are going to send their children to work abroad. All of them named Ye will be successful..."

"I heard that they are raising money in the past two days. One of them can cost several thousand. Isn't this going to break the bank? I met them yesterday and they said they were going to send two of them to work abroad."

"I heard that I asked Adong to borrow money. I should have borrowed it, right? With Adong's help, what do you have to worry about?"

"I heard that it's easy to find jobs abroad. Making money is easier than drinking water. As long as you go abroad, you won't have to worry about food and drink."

"They also have relatives who are overseas Chinese..."

Where there are a lot of people, there are a lot of words, and he listened to a lot while just walking around.

I don’t know what his father said to his second uncle yesterday?

He lifted his feet and walked home again.

The whole family had already eaten. They knew that he had gone to sea with Secretary Chen and didn't know when he would come back, so they didn't wait for him to eat. They only left the food for him to warm in the pot.

When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, she arranged food for him.

"How about kelp? Is it really ready to be harvested?"

"Almost, take care of it. Leave it for another three to five days. It can still gain a little more weight. Let's collect it in a few days."

"Then do you still plan to charge 6 cents?"

"When I finish my meal, I'll call and ask about the price. It's still the same price without much change."

"How much quantity can be collected from the sea test field?"

"We can harvest about 89 to 10 tons per acre. The output is not low. If we collect them all, we should be able to get 300 tons, which is enough for them to work for more than half a month."

"If you dry 10 jins per jin, can you make 30 tons of it? If 1 jin costs 6 cents, can you earn three to four thousand?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned when he heard how fast she calculated, and his mind went blank for a moment.

But for just a moment, he forgot about it. Anyway, his wife said that was how much she could sell, and it was almost the same amount.

By then, if a family works on more than a dozen acres, they can earn one to two thousand a year, which is quite a lot.

Workers earn 40 to 50 yuan a month, and they only earn 500 to 600 yuan in a year.

You can earn one to two thousand by cultivating kelp. Although the whole family can work together, if the population is large, you can also cultivate more, which is better than doing other things.

And it's not like you work there all year round. It's equivalent to half a year on and half a year off. You can do other things at other times.

If it spreads, the whole village will start breeding, and it will be a day before it becomes a famous and wealthy village in the county.

"This is only the first year. I'll take better care of it with experience in the coming year, so I might charge a little more."

Lin Xiuqing's face beamed with joy when she heard this, "That's great. You can earn one or two thousand yuan a year, which is better than anything else. And you don't have to leave your hometown."

"Not everyone in our village has a boat, there is little land, and there are more people than work. Many people can only survive on grains. Most of them are a large family of more than a dozen people, all trying to save a living. Money is hard to come by.”

"Secretary Chen has been to our house several times in the past few days, always waiting to see when you will come back. When I go out to buy meat, I can hear the villagers discussing when to harvest the kelp, and they are all looking forward to it."

Ye Yaodong also said with a smile: "If this batch of kelp is collected and sold at a good price, it will also be a political achievement of the village cadres. They will be proud when they go to the county to report to the meeting."

"So are you going to stay at home and watch over the next few days?"

"No, tell them to harvest in three to five days, and they will be busy themselves. Harvesting and drying is a big project, and it will be good if they can finish it by May. I don't have time to wait at home. When they have harvested and dried, I will harvest if I am at home, and you can harvest for him if he is not at home."

"Okay."

"I went out early in the morning, and the second uncle didn't come again? Did Dad say anything?"

"No, Mom was there at noon, what could Dad say? How dare he say anything?"

"That's right, then just ignore him."

After lunch, Ye Yaodong went to the workshop for a walk, and was thinking about taking a nap, but who knew that Secretary Chen came again.

He thought he was going to talk about kelp again, or to urge him to ask about the price, but he didn't expect that he was here to talk to him.

"You are about to join the party. The candidate party members also need to pass the examination. Smuggling is illegal. You can't do something that violates the law and directly bear the cost of smuggling for him."

"Active party members should set a good example. Just let your second uncle's family jump."

"Oh..."

Ye Yaodong responded casually and poured him tea first. He was not very enthusiastic about joining the party. He was already feeling troublesome and had to go to the party school.

"Don't take it lightly. Joining the party is a great thing. The village has been talking about it for the past two days. I wanted to tell you this morning, but I forgot, so I went there again in the afternoon."

"I also talked to him yesterday and criticized him for making such a big fuss."

Is that so? Then he came to the door yesterday, which shows that he was not serious and knew that the village committee could not be too broad.

"I know. I'm not stupid. I'll just pay for all the smuggling expenses for him. He's not my father. Even my father and ancestors can't do that."

"It's good to know. Everyone knows you're rich now."

"How much is rich? More than 10,000 yuan for smuggling is enough for me to have a boatload of children. How about eating up the rich?"

Secretary Chen's mouth twitched, "Are you still going to have another child?"

"No, three is enough to give me a headache."

"Well, it's good to know."

Ye Yaodong only thought about how much others took, and he would take as much as he took. It would be good to give 500,000,000. How could he be so stupid as to pay more than 10,000 yuan?

His father didn't dare to open his mouth. If his second uncle dared to open his mouth, he would be kicked out and no one would say anything.

Only now that he is rich, famous, and has become the chairman, and is preparing to join the party, he must cherish his reputation.

What those relatives and friends do, they don't want to be criticized, just follow them, there is definitely no more.

If something goes wrong, he can't be blamed. If he succeeds, it's all because of the support of all his relatives and friends. That's enough.

Secretary Chen left after saying that.

Ye Yaodong didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he would talk to him when he came to visit him again. No one rushed to give money.

But he didn't see his second uncle come to visit for two days, which made him a little confused.

His father was busy making scarecrows, cutting bamboo in the mountains, and surrounding the cherry forest for the children. He only came at mealtime.

He couldn't ask in front of his mother, so he just ignored it.

It was only after his father cut the bamboo, asked his brothers to help, and took a few broken nets to surround the small cherry forest that he had time to talk to his father.

"Has the money for uncle's smuggling been settled?"

"I don't know, but it should be almost done. I heard that your two cousins ​​are looking for people to join the meeting these days."

"It's rare. I thought he had set his sights on me and wanted me to give him 80,000 or 10,000 yuan."

"What?" Ye Yaohua exclaimed, "Is he dreaming? 80,000 or 10,000 yuan, does he think you are the God of Wealth? It's not so easy to pick up money from the sky."

Ye Yaopeng was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "He doesn't want to borrow so much, right? Dongzi, are you kidding?"

"You are kidding, you dare to ask, I will pay him back."

Ye Yaohua eased up, "You scared me, I really thought he was so shameless and thick-skinned."

Ye's father said, "How dare he borrow so much? He is not stupid. If he really dares to ask for so much, don't even think about it."

"What do you think he is doing at his age? Aguo and his brothers don't know how to do things? Why do they want him to run around like this?" Ye Yaodong complained.

"He probably got smarter. He talked to me, not you. The eldest and second sons' wives refused two days ago. You ignored him and were busy with things. He kept talking to me."

"What did he say?"

The other two brothers asked the same question.

"He said that you two had just bought a boat and hadn't started making money yet, so he could understand if you didn't lend it to him. Dongzi seemed difficult to talk to, so he asked me to help him. He said that you are filial and you will definitely listen to me."

"He also said that we are not strangers. We are all family members. We are connected by bones and tendons, so we can't just not help."

"He said that I am his brother, and my family has seen several sons become prosperous. He also hopes to rely on his sons and grandchildren to enjoy happiness in the future, so he asked me to help a little."

"Other relatives and friends also helped a little. We are the most promising here, so we can't not help. I said this."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay, I didn't say anything."

"Then you ignored him, right? Mind your own business."

"Then you haven't come to your door in the past two days and haven't told me? Am I still rushing to come and ask?"

"If you hadn't told me earlier, I had already collected 500 yuan and gave it to him."

"Ah?" The three brothers all looked over in surprise.

"Did you borrow it?"

"My mother knows? The money she took?"

"Didn't Mom always tell us not to borrow it?"

"Shit, can she get the money?" Father Ye said angrily, "This is all private money that I secretly saved. The day before yesterday, I took the foreign cigarettes Dongzi gave me to the town to exchange for it. 500 is enough.”

Ye Yaodong smiled, "I asked, why haven't you come to my door in the past two days? So dad, you have already given it to me? Are you quite rich?"

"Don't let your mother know, otherwise there will be a huge quarrel and I will be kicked out of the house."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Dad, you have saved too much private money, right?"

"Where do you think all my private money comes from? Isn't it all given here and there? I secretly saved it all. Last year, I put it under my pillow and my mother took it away once. Otherwise, there would be a little more. ”

The two brothers were immediately embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything. They didn't have much money to give to their father, and they didn't even have much private money hidden away.

"Some borrowed 100, 200, or 50 from other families. The two families also borrowed their own money, and my grandma probably borrowed them all. Whatever your second uncle borrowed belongs to him, even though it was also given to him. When the time comes, I will also ask your second uncle for money from those two families.”

"Don't think about it. Unless both grandsons make a lot of money abroad and come back in glory, he can pay back the money."

Once you lend this money, don't think about getting it back. It sounds like a loan, but in fact it's a help.

"I know you are telling the truth, but you have to think better."

"I'll go back and talk to Ah Qing later, and I'll give you the 500 yuan as if it was mine."

Father Ye held the bamboo in one hand and waved his hand, "Whatever you want to make up for, you gave it to me in the first place. I saved it bit by bit. I lent it out and got another sum. What does it count? You don't have to give it to me." , when their conditions get better, I will have to ask your second uncle to pay me back."

"I originally thought that when he came to my door, he would definitely open his mouth, but I didn't expect that I could spend 500 yuan."

It was completely beyond his expectation, and it was a bit out of line with his second uncle's temperament. He used to wish he could pluck his body and suck his blood.

"500 yuan is quite a lot, and you are the only one who thinks it is too little. Everyone took out the money without expecting him to pay it back, and there is no interest calculation, so how can you give more?"

"I also asked around specifically. Most of the money I asked was one to two hundred, and the ones that gave 200 were not much. Who could give away that much money?"

"In addition, many people don't believe what happened to Hiro before. Who knows whether the matter of going abroad is true or not? They are just talking about it."

"I heard what they said was like that, and the contact person was given by you. In addition, last year our family did go to the provincial capital to worship our ancestors. We all know that there are a lot of relatives of overseas Chinese, so we were more or less suspicious. "

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to even afford one or two hundred. After being cheated once, everyone is afraid. If they really go abroad, they will be willing to help a little, because they are afraid that it is a lie."

"So how dare he dare to open his mouth to us, a lion, and think that we are fools? If a real lion opens his mouth, he won't get a single point. The 500 I can give is already a lot."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that what his father said made sense. Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Relatives and friends are not fools. They will help when they should, but they are afraid of being cheated. Some of them have been cheated once, so who is willing to take so much?

If he hadn't known that the number was given from him and that the overseas Chinese relatives were genuine, they probably wouldn't have believed it.

After all, no one in their village has gone abroad to work, and there has never been a wave of migrant workers. They have only heard of it.

His father directly gave 500, which was almost equivalent to giving away all the shares of the three brothers, protecting them from behind. His second uncle could not come to the door again and take turns borrowing from the three brothers again.

It also avoided his mother's nagging dissatisfaction. He came out secretly and everyone was happy.

If one person suffers, the whole family will be at peace.

So it's no wonder that it's been quiet for the past two days and no one comes to the door anymore.

Ye Yaohua said: "They can borrow some from their relatives and friends, and my wife will go back to her parents' home to talk about it. They can borrow some."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Last year I went to Zhejiang Province to salvage jellyfish. Although I was fined a bit for going in, I didn't partner with other people later. I stayed for half a month longer and I must have made some money. Let's help chip in. , their family will definitely have no problem raising 6,000 yuan.”

Father Ye said: "It must be no problem. Your second uncle is a very good man. He must have saved some money over the years. How can your children go abroad without paying for it? You have to pay a lot of money, and everyone will do the rest. Give it to him."

"It's over. After all the talk, your coffin is empty in the end. But it's a good thing. You don't have to listen to your mother's nagging, and you don't have to worry about her finding out your private money and scolding her again." Ye Yaodong said with a smile.

"It's quiet now. In the past two days since I came back, your mother has been whispering in my ears, saying that they almost borrowed money from the whole village. The whole village knew that their children were going abroad. They were obviously borrowing money. What happened? The scenery is terrible.”

"Going abroad is indeed very beautiful."

"With all this trouble, I don't know if I can go abroad to work."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "After you gave the money, did you ask him when he would pay Lao Hai and when he would send the child away?"

"When I gave it, I probably hadn't collected enough, so I'm still having a meeting there now. He said that he would contact Lao Hai after he collected enough money, and then he would arrange a time so that they could send the child there and then meet in person. Pay the money.”

"oh."

"I don't know if it's worth it. The two families emptied their wealth and borrowed money from relatives before sending their two children to work abroad."

"Let's see, if we can successfully go abroad, with overseas Chinese taking care of us, it shouldn't be too bad. Let's see if we can make it happen."

"I hope it can happen, otherwise it will be in vain."

There were only four of them, father and son, talking and busy planting bamboos and hanging fishing nets.

At this point, the words came to an end for the time being, but Ye Yaopeng spoke again hesitantly.

"You said that if my second uncle can go abroad and work successfully, can we also send our children to work abroad?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest brother in surprise, "I want to take a chance. What are you trying to do? Your family's life is pretty easy. You have a big boat. Why take that risk?"

"Haha, let me tell you, don't they all take one by one, and even half the village is taken abroad?"

"Hai will have a stable job as long as he graduates. When Chenghe is older, he can work with you at sea and take over your class. When my daughter is older, she can also help with housework. Isn't this all a blessing? Sending the child away, who knows how many years it will take to make a living? I have to rely on the child to work abroad to earn money to support the family."

Ye Yaodong didn't quite understand his elder brother's brain circuit.

"You're right. During this period, I listened to the discussions among the villagers. Everyone thinks that it is good to go abroad. As long as you go abroad, you will have a great future. I also thought that if my second uncle's children can work well abroad, we can also do it. Send the kids out."

"You are advocating for foreigners. Although it is good to be an overseas Chinese and there are various loose policies, life at home is quite easy. There is nothing wrong with living a comfortable life. A person is still a child in a foreign country. How can I It’s good to have family around.”

"Well, what Dongzi said is true. You must have a hard time being alone outside. It's hard to make phone calls and it's inconvenient to contact you. Think about it, you're still a child. There's no need for our family."

"Okay dad, my wife at home is a little envious and has her thoughts on it, and I was also affected."

"Don't listen to my wife, she has long hair and short knowledge. I borrow money everywhere and still think it's glamorous and good. Just say a few words and I'll give you 1,000 yuan. If I'm cheated, I'll have to count the money." He also said he was a nice person.”

Ye Yaopeng immediately shut up.

Ye Yaohua didn't dare to speak.

Otherwise, he might have to be scolded by his father when the time comes. If his relatives go abroad and have no money to help, the scammer can give him 1,000 yuan with just a few words.

After they had nothing to say, their work efficiency also skyrocketed.

Ye Yaodong looked at the cherries he planted casually, but he didn't expect that they could grow into a small forest and bear fruit, and he felt a sense of accomplishment.

It was all just a little fuss, and he didn't care much about it. The child remained enthusiastic, and now he can still eat it.

"Their names are all engraved on these tree trunks, so they will be easy to identify when the time comes."

"Just let them pick it themselves."

"When I was a child, I planted a banana tree on the mountain, but it was trampled to pieces by wild boars. But they planted it in a decent way..."

Everyone changed the topic and talked about their childhood events. They all laughed easily and were full of memories.

The four father and son worked for half an afternoon and built a circle around the slope. Now they were not afraid that the village children would run in and steal the harvest.

Although there are still ways to pick it off, the addition of an additional fence can make 80% of people retreat.

Spring is here, and there are fruit trees everywhere in the mountains and plains. It doesn’t have to be here, any big movement on the beach can be seen by others.

After Ye Yaodong returned home, he also told Lin Xiuqing that Ye's father secretly took out 500 yuan.

Lin Xiuqing was making dinner, and she was also surprised, "Dad is so rich? How can he save so much money under mother's nose if he is capable?"

"He's really got good skills. Every now and then, the three of us brothers show him a little bit, and he keeps it secretly. This time I salvaged the cigarettes from the sea. I broke one and gave each of the boatmen a pack, and gave the rest to dad. He took it to the town to exchange for money to get enough."

He didn't dare to say that his father's private money was exposed from between his fingers.

Avoid unnecessary trouble!

Women are petty and can compare, so they have to be on guard. It's really a lot to save 500 yuan from him.

If the three brothers leaked together, there would be nothing to say.

"That's fine, let dad go out and don't let mom know, and she won't have any objections."

"We also said the same thing in the afternoon. I also said that I would pay for it and give 500 yuan to dad. But dad said no, it was saved from us anyway, and he will ask his second uncle to pay it back."

"Dad doesn't have any place to spend money anyway. We have to eat and drink at our expense. At most he can smoke a hookah or get some pocket money for the child. Give him 500, and mom will make a fuss if she finds out, so you don't need to give it to me, right?"

"Well, if he says no, then don't use it."

"It looks gloomy and windy today. I feel like it's going to rain soon. Go to the workshop and take a look. Put away the dried fish that need to be collected quickly, just in case. By the way, check the nylon on the top. Cloth, I don’t know if the wind will get stronger. If it gets stronger, I have to put the nylon cloth away to prevent it from being blown away. "

"good."

Ye Yaodong picked up the teapot and took a big sip of tea from the spout before going back to the workshop.

Heavy rain usually has signs.

Fortunately, it was a thunderstorm. It rained all night and the weather cleared up the next day.

However, many cherries were knocked to the ground by the heavy rain at night, which made the children feel distressed. They picked them up and went to school slowly.

Based on the principle of not wasting, Ye Xiaoxi washed the cherries to feed the chickens, ducks and dogs.

However, they were all very green, so how could there be poultry to eat? They were sour, except for the greedy human cubs.

The ducks had already rushed into the sea with their webbed feet early in the morning, so how could they pay attention to her.

She could only catch chickens and chase dogs in the yard, causing chaos, chicken feathers falling everywhere, and dogs barking non-stop.

The yard was already a mess after the rain, and it was even more messy now.

But Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing went to the workshop early in the morning to check the situation of yesterday's rain and see if the dried fish was affected. No one could control her.

The old lady could only yell at the ancestors, and then quickly opened the gate and let the chickens and dogs run out.

"The hens are still hatching chicks inside, don't make a fuss here, otherwise the hens will be scared and can't hatch chicks."

"Ah? Then I'll hatch the chicks..."

"Don't be naughty, go out and play by yourself."

Ye Xiaoxi had a sad face, "I fell down in the morning and fell into a puddle, and my mother wouldn't let me go out."

"Then you can't mess with the chickens and dogs, right?" The old lady was so worried that she quickly grabbed her and took away the broken bowl in her hand.

"Feed them, they eat the leftover vegetables and bones at home."

"Hey, let's go, I'll take you to buy something to eat."

"Then I'll give it to Doudou."

As she said this, she stood on tiptoe, grabbed the bowl in the old lady's hand, reached out and grabbed a handful and put it in her pocket.

The old lady couldn't stop him in time and watched helplessly.

"Feed the chickens and dogs one moment, and give it to the kids next door the next moment."

"Don't waste it!"

"Why don't you eat it yourself?"

"No, no, it's sour." She shook her head like a rattle and pulled the old lady's hand again, "Let's go, buy some candy~"

The old lady had no choice but to wait a while and throw away the cherries in her pocket while she wasn't paying attention.

This wasn't the first time the kid had done this.

Before, he had specially gone to the back door to pick up sheep dung and filled two bags with it for a little boy named Doudou nearby.

Later, the boy's mother came to ask about it, and she said that Doudou knew it, but loved to eat it, which almost pissed off the boy's mother to death.

Because of this, she was beaten and educated by Lin Xiuqing, and then she cried and said that she was sharing and taking care of her friends.

The old lady taught her as she walked, "You can't give others things you don't want, you know?"

"Why?"

"You must give others good things. If you don't want something yourself, others won't be happy if you give it to them."

"Doudou is happy. I share the biscuits I don't want with him. He is so happy."

The old lady was speechless for a moment. Whose children are happier than theirs? They have snacks and candies almost every day.

It's good enough for other children to have a bite to eat. Ye Xiaoxi can still share food with other children when they see her eating and drooling. You can't say she's wrong.

After thinking about it, she didn't say anything.

At least this time it was unripe cherries, not sheep dung.

The unripe green fruits are sour, but greedy children also want to eat them.

But after the couple finished their work, she couldn't help but complain.

But before she had time to complain, at lunchtime, Lin Xiuqing saw the hens coming out of the chicken coop where they were hatching eggs and fed the chickens first.

After she finished feeding the chickens and was about to go into the house to cook, she saw Ye Xiaoxi enter the utility room on the first floor and one foot had already stepped into the chicken coop for hatching eggs.

"What are you doing?" As she spoke, she had already entered and grabbed her clothes.

"Helping to hatch the chicks?"

"Oh, my ancestor, what kind of chicks can you hatch? Get out quickly, Ye Yaodong, Ye Yaodong..."

"What? What? Why are you calling me by my full name?"

Ye Yaodong had been busy in the workshop all morning. He had just returned home and wanted to go into the house to lie down for a while, when he heard someone calling Ye Yaodong.

He was shocked and thought he had done something that would anger the heavens and the people. He was so panicked that he ran out immediately.

"Look at your daughter, my God, she's going to help the hen hatch chicks, you take care of her, I get a headache when I see her now, when I hear what she's doing."

Ye Yaodong looked down at her, she also looked up, her black grape-like eyes looked at him innocently, the father and daughter stared at each other.

How can he teach this?

A pair of innocent eyes looked at him, and he couldn't criticize him, he could only think about how to explain this common sense to her.

"Let's go, let's go find your old lady..."

"I asked you to teach her and take care of her."

"Got it."

The old lady was sitting at the door picking vegetables, and she stood up immediately when she heard the noise.

"Oh, I'll go outside and take a look, a few children went to see the cherry tree, why haven't they come back yet, it's been so long... The vegetables are in the basket, you pick them..."

"Ah... there's another one here..."

"Alas, year after year, I'm getting older, my ears are a little bit bad, alas, I'm getting old..."

Ye Yaodong looked down at Ye Xiaoxi again, "No one wants you."

Ye Xiaoxi quickly hugged his thigh tightly, "Dad... don't leave me..."

"Don't be naughty, you know that?"

"Know."

"In a few months, I'll let you herd sheep in the mountains, do you want me?"

"Okay, okay."

Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief and thought he could just go to the mountains to herd sheep.

Look at Yangyang, you have been herding sheep in the mountains for two years. How sensible are you now?

It just so happened that in the second half of the year, he turned 7 and had to be sent to first grade, and the family's few goats were just in time for her to take over.

It would be great if there was a kindergarten, and there would be a place for Ye Xiaoxi, who is already three years old.

Sometimes she's cute and tight, sometimes she's disgusting. Children can't sit there quietly. They're not fools, they're all naughty and mischievous. However, they adults are busy and often can't watch her.

Ye Yaodong sat where the old lady had just been sitting, and invited Ye Xiaoxi to help pick vegetables. He also taught her what to do and what not to do. He also told her common sense about chickens and ducks, and also told her the precautions for herding sheep. .

Thinking about it, she might as well ask Yangyang to take her to the mountains to herd sheep tomorrow, so that she can get familiar with her in advance and avoid being annoyed by people at home.

During lunch, Ye's father came over to eat and talked about the night sailing. By the way, he also said that Uncle Ye wanted to ask them if they had docked in the provincial capital in the past two days and wanted to take a free boat.

"He's so beautiful. He doesn't want to go out to sea to fish, and why should he send them on a special trip?"

Father Ye glared at Mother Ye, "I just asked them, and I said they would not dock until the warehouse is full. If they can wait, they can get on the boat and wait for two days. If they can't wait, there is nothing they can do."

Mother Ye pursed her lips in disgust, but didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong asked: "Have they raised enough money?"

"We have raised enough, so we asked if we could take a ride on a car or boat. He said that he had made an agreement with Lao Hai to go to the provincial capital in three days. He thought that we would go to sea in the next two days, so he came over to ask. ”

"When the tractor at home is pulling goods, we can give them a ride, take them to the city, and let them take the car to the provincial capital. If we take a boat, we have to have a full warehouse before we can dock. We go fishing at night, and we don't know where we will arrive. How the harvest was at that time, and the wind and waves, it’s not that coincidental.”

Ye Yaodong is also pragmatic.

He is indeed going to the provincial capital in the near future to take the new trademark to a plastic bag factory and order a new batch of fish sauce packaging bags with the trademark.

But he must have put his own needs first. After filling his warehouse with fish, he would go to the provincial capital to sell the goods and get things done by the way.

"Okay, if they are delayed due to wind and waves or something, we will have to blame them and let them go by themselves."

"Um."

"They had already killed chickens and ducks in the morning and bought pig heads and tails to worship Mazu."

"As long as Mazu agrees and parents agree, it has nothing to do with the visa center."

"What?"

"Wish you Mazu, have a safe journey."

Father Ye understood this.

"Well, after worshiping Mazu, I will go to worship the Earth Goddess, the Goddess of the Earth, the Goddess of the Kitchen in the evening, and I will go to Guanyin tomorrow."

The old lady hurriedly said: "Yes, I want to pray to all the gods and gods for more blessings. I have to spend all my money to send two children out, and it is right to pray to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. I will also chant more sutras for them later. Stay safe."

Mother Ye interjected: "It's also strange that this time I didn't shamelessly come to ask for your help. Before that, I had already brought out my ancestors."

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father looked at each other.

Father Ye said angrily: "You look like you're afraid of death. You're already worried about borrowing money before someone comes to your door. It's okay now. It's a slap in the face."

"Tch, I'm too late to be happy. I just feel like the sun is coming out in the west. It's so rare. In the past, when we got the chance, we would come to our door to help them. This time, we want to send our children abroad. It's a perfect opportunity. I borrowed it all over the village, but no one came to my door, which is so strange. "

"This is not good. You were worried about people coming to your door before, but now you feel that they are not coming, and you are disappointed?"

Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile: "Mom, I thought that if I had already prepared a lot, there would be no use for it. What a pity."

Mother Ye was amused by him, "Nonsense, it's better not to come, it saves trouble. In order to avoid being said that the richer we are, the stingier we become. All our relatives and friends have chipped in a little bit. Just so you know, we won't pay a penny..."

"You know it too!"

Mother Ye glared at him, "Didn't they come to the door now? Even better, no wonder we didn't pay. I also thought, if they come to the door and say something more polite, I can't explain it, and they will be the same as everyone else. a little……"

Father Ye: "..."

His 500 yuan!

500 yuan!

My heart was bleeding instantly.

The meat in my mouth suddenly lost its flavor...

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but look at Father Ye.

I saw that Ye's father was extremely heartbroken, but he still pretended to be fine, and his heart ached for a moment.

His father is a bit pitiful...

I have saved up my personal money for a long time.

I could have held it in my hand...

It’s all filled in, and I can’t say it yet. I can only shed tears into my stomach...

Ye's father was heartbroken, but he could only hold back. He said angrily: "You know everything. In your heart, you are like Ming Jing. You know that it is not good for us not to pay, but you still act like this."

"Did you already think that you have to pay for everything? You just vented your dissatisfaction in advance, nagging this, nagging that..."

Ye's mother didn't care about his anger at all, and said, "I'm not happy, and you can't let me lose my temper? I can't lose my temper in my own home? If someone asks me to borrow money, should I lend it to him happily?"

"Of course, we can't save face, and then wait until others have borrowed money, and then we will borrow some from others."

"I originally thought that if the two of us old people gave them some money, they would be embarrassed to borrow from the three brothers again. Otherwise, the two families would borrow from the three brothers once. In total, we would have to borrow six times?"

Ye's mother slammed the table, "You wish!"

"As Dongzi said, he is eating the rich! We can give a little from others and treat it as a help, so we don't have to give so much."

Ye's father: His 500 yuan!

My heart hurts even more.

We obviously thought of the same thing, why should he pay out of his own pocket?

I didn't feel sad at first, but after hearing these words, he felt so uncomfortable.
