Chapter 193 Sewing Machine

When Lin Xiuqing heard this, she lowered her head and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The hand that grabbed her was already full of calluses. He had never done any heavy work. In the past few months, he had been building a house and going to sea. His hands had blisters, and he was just holding a needle alone. Sitting in front of the window and picking silently.

His hands were rougher than hers. Once upon a time, his hands were smoother than hers.

When Ye Yaodong saw her bowing her head and saying nothing, he also knew that she was used to being frugal and could not afford to spend money lavishly all of a sudden.

However, life must be improved. If you can't make money, your family will still be struggling. Although the family's current savings are not large, they can still meet their daily needs.

"I will work hard to make money to support my family. We don't have to eat well or dress decently, but we do have to be fed and clothed, right?"

Lin Xiuqing responded softly.

She will add things that need to be purchased. She just likes to take her time. It feels heartbreaking to spend a large sum of money all at once. It is not like getting rich overnight, and all his money is hard-earned.

Ye Yaodong held the back of her head, asked her to lean on his shoulder, and said emphatically again, "I'm not useless anymore, don't worry."

"Um."

"Make yourself two sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Make them looser so that you can cover up your belly when the time comes. Do it in advance so that others won't notice your lack of clothes. You don't want anything to happen to the baby in your belly, right?"

Yes, her belly needs to be covered.

She nodded heavily, "I can't do it all at once. I'll finish what I have on hand first, and then buy some fabric and cotton."

"Well, how many meters does a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers cost?"

"The old lady is short. Three meters is enough. If I make it a little looser, I would probably have to make it a little bigger, about 3.5-6 meters."

"Okay, I understand. Let's cook lunch first and get busy later."

"good."

Ye Yaodong watched her go to the back door to pick vegetables, hesitated for a moment, and then walked out.

Lin Xiuqing thought he didn't care when he went out for a walk, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, killing fish...

After nightfall, the whole family went to bed, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Ye Yaodong immediately sat up like a carp.

"I'll open the door."

"Who is it? Knocking on the door so late?"

Ye Yaodong said while putting on his clothes: "I'll go take a look first."

I only came to my door during the day, but I didn't expect it to be delivered at night. It was very efficient.

He opened the door and saw Lin Jishang smoking with his back to the door. There was a cart parked at the door with the things he wanted.

Lin Jishang heard the movement behind him, turned around, put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and threw it aside, "Going to bed so early?"

"Not yet, it's just that it's dark and there's nothing to do, so lie down early."

Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a clear face: "I understand, I understand!"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

He knows knitting well, he goes out to sea at night, and his wife is not even three months pregnant.

Lin Jishang then added: "Come here and lift it up together. I was afraid it would be too eye-catching during the day, so I brought it over after dark."

The two had a good exchange during the day, became more familiar with each other, and were able to talk harmlessly.

….

As soon as Lin Xiuqing came out of the house, she saw two people carrying something in. She asked curiously: "What is it?"

"The sewing machine your husband bought for you is a Yan brand."

"What?!"

Lin Xiuqing stared at Ye Yaodong, "When did you buy it? Why didn't you say anything?"

"We'll talk about it later. Let's pay the bill first." After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jishang, "How much does this one cost?"

"The supply and marketing cooperative is 150, the market price is 130, you can take 110. There are two pieces of red and yellow floral cloth and 5 pounds of cotton on the cart. You can give me 15 yuan."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

The cotton he bought during the day was 2.8 yuan a pound. He didn't hear the price of the floral cloth, but he heard that the navy blue cotton cost 3.6 yuan per foot. The floral cloth was even more expensive.

"It doesn't matter, just make a friend. They are shipping every day anyway, so I won't be short of yours."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Seeing this guy working at the dock for three days and nights, he definitely made a lot of money. But he knew that smuggling was extremely profitable these days, and he could make half or even 60% of the goods by trading silver dollars.

These smugglers smuggled ships to the sea, bays and Hong Kong islands to trade goods in silver dollars. 1 silver dollar is converted into RMB 22, and it costs 26 yuan plus fees.

Some of the smuggling ships carried silver coins of one or two thousand yuan, and some of them carried as much as seven or eight thousand yuan. The exchange value of the ships was less than thirty or forty thousand yuan, and some of them carried hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Lin Jishang can be considered a small boss, and he definitely makes a lot of money.

Just treat it as poverty alleviation, and he also accepts this sentiment. He will see what good things can be caught at sea later, and send some to him. There will be coming and going.

The things had been delivered to the door, and Lin Xiuqing couldn't slap him in the face and tell him to go back at this time, so she had to go back to the house to get the money in depression.

Two pieces of floral cloth and cotton were also brought in. Lin Jishang collected the money and left.

Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Yaodong, "When did you buy it? Why didn't you say anything? Why did you buy such a big thing just when you said you would?"

"Who makes you reluctant to buy a few pieces of cloth and a few kilograms of cotton? Then I have no choice but to do it myself and give you a powerful medicine to cure you. What's more, it's inconvenient not to have a sewing machine at home. I always go to other people's houses to borrow it shamelessly. It’s okay to do it once or twice, but you have to make so many cotton-padded clothes, how can you be so embarrassed and not afraid of annoying others?”

The family does need to buy more, and he doesn't want his wife to look at other people's faces.

"Then...then you have to discuss it with me."

"I went out today and already spent nearly 70 yuan, right? Are you willing to buy a sewing machine again?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't refute. If he told her, she would definitely say "take it easy first".

Seeing that she was silent again, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to step forward and hug her, "I'm only over 100 years old. It's much cheaper than outside. I can offset it with the money I earned yesterday. There is a sewing machine at home, which will be convenient for you to use. When the time comes, When the baby is about to be born, don’t you have to make clothes in advance? How can you go to someone else’s house to make them with your belly full? "

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him sideways and pinched his waist hard, "Don't do this next time! You must tell me about spending a lot of money."

"Hey~ Oh~ OK, OK~ Be gentle, your waist is very important."

Her face couldn't remain tense, she rolled her eyes at him, pushed away his arms and went to unpack the sewing machine.

….

Ye Yaodong felt a little proud when he saw her cheerful look, so he knew she would like it and his complaints were just lip service.

Women are women, what they say doesn’t mean what they say!

You say you don’t want it, but you actually want it!

Sometimes, you have to listen the other way around...

Ye Yaodong happily joined in helping her dismantle it. Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up when she saw a brand-new sewing machine completely exposed to their sight, and she stroked it back and forth with her hands.

In fact, she has always wanted a sewing machine, but she didn't have the conditions before. She finally saved some money in the past few months, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Then she bought a boat, spending a huge amount of money, and she couldn't bear to part with it. .

Ye Yaodong decided for her by accident.

"Do you like it?"

Lin Xiuqing glared at him with a smile on her face. How could she know that he was offering a treasure?

"Try it?"

"Um."

She happily went back to the house to take out the fabrics she had cut in the afternoon to test, but she didn't want to wake up the two children who had just slept by going in and out, so Ye Yaodong had to go in first to comfort the children.

After putting the child to sleep, he felt a little drowsy. Thinking of going to sea at night, he didn't get up.

When he was half asleep and half awake, he felt someone close to him. He took it into his arms and rubbed her round, and said in a dazed way: "Are you ready to play?"

"Sewed a piece of sleeve."

"Should I be rewarded?"

He was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiuqing actually took the initiative to kiss his lips. Now he felt energetic and woke up instantly. He turned around and pressed down. As soon as he touched his lips, he was stopped. .

"Don't make trouble, you have to go to sea at night."

Alas, he is still a young man in his 20s...

"Go to sleep, don't think too much!"

"All right."

After a hard peck, he turned over and lay back in his position, holding Wenxiang Nephrite in his arms, but his hand was grabbed to prevent him from moving.

He fell asleep just like that.

He got up on time at 2:30 in the morning. Lin Xiuqing got up early before him to prepare a meal and packed a lunch box for him.

He put on a headlamp and pushed the trolley to the dock. Ye's father was already waiting there, chatting with Aguang's father.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave some seafood when I come back tomorrow, and I'll go to your place and have a nice drink, and let's talk..."

Ye Yaodong heard these words as soon as he got closer. When did his father and A Guang's father get so close that they could sit and drink together?

"Dad, Uncle Pei."

"Dongzi is here. I heard that your longline fishing is very effective. Let's give it a try another day."

"Okay, you can make a few hundred to try, but it will cost more bait."

"It doesn't matter. There are a lot of small fish and shrimps in the trawl net. Save some for use in advance."

At this time, Aguang also bought diesel and came over, "Oh? It's rare to meet you."

"You may run into me more often in the future."

After saying hello to each other, they took the first step. Ye Yaodong also took the time to get the bait from Ah Cai and add oil.

After he got on the boat, he asked his father, "Dad, when did you get on such good terms with Uncle Pei? You want to have a drink together."

….

"Aguang carries your banner every day, sending bananas, wine, or some fish and dry goods that we don't have here. He comes here in different ways to show his face every day. Your mother and I know it well."

"So you agree now?"

"Let's have two glasses of wine with his father tonight and talk about it. There is no woman in their family who can help, so his father has to come to talk to me."

"Then you have to ask my little sister what she means."

"You still want to say this?"

"Then what did she say?"

"Ask your mother. I am a father, not a mother. How can I ask? Anyway, your mother was very unhappy before, saying that there was no woman in her family who could take care of the housework. If your little sister gets married, she will Very tired, saying that no one will help take care of the children in the future, and we have to marry two sisters-in-law and so on... Women are troublesome, thinking so much..."

"Mom seems to be right."

"Isn't it good that you can be the master of the house right away after you get married? Why do you need a mother-in-law? Why don't you ask your mother to come and help you if you need anything? In the future, if there is no one to help take care of the children, why don't you ask your little sister to take care of her? We have to worry about walking matters, as long as our character and temperament are acceptable, there are so many things to think about..."

"You have arranged everything for my mother, so what can I say?"

"So let's see what his father says tomorrow, bring out the charter, and then we'll ask your little sister for her opinion."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips. His father seemed to have no objection and was taking advantage of that brat A Guang.
