Chapter 528 Too Anxious (Two Chapters Combined Into One, 6,000 Words)

Ye Yaodong sat there and chatted with him for a while. He didn't get up and leave until the children came back from school at half past four.

After watching him leave, Ye Yaodong raised his feet and leaned on the back of his chair, "But I finally left. I sat there chatting for a long time, and I don't know why I came here?"

"Aren't you here to deliver pears?" Lin Xiuqing raised her head and said while killing the fish.

"We haven't interacted with each other for a long time. Where is the person who comes to deliver pears? We sat here chatting for a long time and didn't say anything else. Just chatting. I must have wanted to renew the relationship. I just don't know what will happen after the relationship is renewed. What do you want to do?"

"The time I chose was pretty good. I didn't say that I would come during the first few days after you came back, when the limelight was at its peak, but that I would come after a month."

The old lady smiled and said: "We are all friends who grew up together. What obstacles are there that we can't overcome? If people want to be good to you, just deal with them as you please. As long as they are not bad, that's fine. If there are any difficulties, If you can help, just help. If it's beyond your ability, then forget it."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

"Mom, can I eat pears? Can I eat pears?" Ye Chenghu spread his legs apart, taking turns to lift his feet and sway, and his body swayed with his head. He was very excited to see it.

As soon as he came back, he saw the basket of pears on the ground. He had been standing around with his eyes shining brightly, reluctant to leave, and he didn't say anything until now.

"Ask your father to cut one for you, and the two brothers will share it."

"Okay~ I ate some pears~"

"There are also apples. Mom came back in the afternoon and bought red apples. They are red and look good. They must be very sweet."

"Really!" Ye Chenghu's eyes shone, "What day is it today? Is the sun coming out in the west?"

Ye Yaodong patted the back of his head and said, "How do you talk? No big or small."

"Hehe~ Isn't this what you always say?" Ye Chenghu covered the back of his head and moved a step to the side, smiling apologetically.

"As an adult, study less and learn more about what the teacher taught you. Tell me, what did you learn in school today?"

"I'm learning Pinyin, learning s, s, and it feels like I'm learning a snake." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and put his fingers together to imitate the movements of a snake. He kept saying "Sisi" in his mouth and making gestures there.

Ye Yaodong glanced at him and slapped his snake-like hand away, "I highly doubt you will only remember this one s today."

Looking at it like this, he is still the same as in his previous life, a person who cannot read.

"Dad, peel the pears quickly. I want to eat apples after eating them!"

"Would you like to eat the Wugeng Hammer?" He said and went into the house. He had just finished taking a shower and was sitting there talking. He hadn't even had time to change his shorts.

Ye Chenghu followed him naughtily, clenching his little fists, and beating his butt as he walked. Ye Yaodong's head suddenly pounded, how could this son of a bitch be so annoying after just a few days of school?

Not afraid of him at all!

"Are you looking for a beating?"

"Hehe~"

Suddenly, Ye Yaodong had a feeling. He grabbed his eldest son's hands and put them around his waist, letting the boy press his whole body behind him. Suddenly, a loud sound bloomed in Ye Chenghu's chest ~ blooming ~

Ye Chenghu thought his father was playing with him and was laughing and joking. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound. He was stunned for a second before he realized what he was doing.

"Ahhhhhh~ Dad~ Oh~ I'm going to die~ Hurry up and let me go... You've gone too far, you fart, you fart on my chest!"

Ye Chenghu pinched his nose and shouted to the sky and the earth. He was angry and laughing. He almost sat on the ground. He looked crazy. After screaming in the room, he rushed to the door again, feeling hopeless. He hugged the door and shouted without tears.

"Ahhhhh, mother~ My dad farted on my chest on purpose, ahhhh... he went too far..."

Ye Chengyang laughed loudly from the side, "You spanked dad first!"

Ye Chenghu freed up one hand and clenched it into a fist, turned around and raised it threateningly towards Ye Chengyang, "Don't laugh, or I'll beat you if you laugh again."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and raised her head and rolled her eyes at him, "You deserve it. Your father didn't hold your head down and put it on your face."

"Ah~" Ye Chenghu hugged the door and sat directly on the ground, "You didn't even help me scold him."

"Do you still want to eat pears? I don't have time to help you peel them."

"I can call you Taichi."

The old lady smiled and said, "I won't peel it for you."

Ye Yaodong put on his vest and shorts and came out. He bent the fingers of his right hand and hit his head with a hammer. "Be honest, do you still want to eat?"

In the end, no matter what, Ye Chenghu still got the five-minute hammer rewarded by his father...

"Eat..." He hugged the door panel, pursed his lips, and said weakly.

Ye Yaodong sat at the door with a clean kitchen knife and took out a pear from the basket.

The skin of this kind of pear is brown and very thick. It must be peeled before it can be eaten. There is really a lot of water in it. He started peeling it slowly from the buttocks.

The two children squatted at his feet and watched carefully, shouting, "Don't break, don't break..."

"Dad, please slow down, don't stop..."

Ye Yaodong was very skilled at peeling the skin with a knife. He didn't want to cut off the skin. He peeled it very fast at first. After it was halfway through, he really slowed down obediently.

After peeling off the skin of a pear without any breakage, the two children immediately cheered.

"Wow, that's amazing, it didn't break!"

Ye Chenghu directly reached out and took the pear skin, pulled it long and started to play with it. He was no longer in a hurry to eat the pear, and he shouted to the other side of the wall: "Brother Ahai, my dad just peeled a pear." The skin is not broken, it’s awesome~ Come and take a look!”

Is this worth showing off?

Ye Yaodong looked at his excited expression speechlessly. Children are children, and happiness is so simple.

Suddenly, a group of children next door all came running over, cheering.

"Uncle San is so awesome!"

"Ah, it's broken! It's all your fault! Why are you reaching out to touch it?"

"Let Third Uncle cut another one. Cut another one and have a look. We didn't see it."

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "Do you think I'm a juggler?"

Although he said this, he still cut the pear in his hand into four pieces and gave them to his two children and the old lady first. The remaining piece was given to Ye Chenghai first, while he gnawed the core of the pear.

Then he continued to perform it again in front of them, and there was no break. This time the cry was even louder!

He didn't expect that he could rely on this to improve his child's prestige.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Just take two bites per person. Save the rest and eat it tomorrow. Don't eat it all in one go. You'll have dinner later."

The old lady stood up immediately and said, "I'll cook dinner first, and you can do your work. Donzi, stop playing with them, and help Ah Qing with it, otherwise we'll have to wait until dark when your mother comes back to help."

"I know, take this basket of pears in and put them away by the way, otherwise it won't be enough for them to see."

The nephews and nieces were already satisfied with just one taste. When they saw that the pear was gone, they continued to play with the pear skin, but it broke into several pieces after a few times.

They didn't waste it either. They fed it all to the dogs. If the dogs wouldn't eat it, they force-fed it.

Typical people hate dogs...

Ye Yaodong originally thought that the rat only came to their house. Unexpectedly, when he came back from the sea the next day, he saw the rat helping A Guang pick goods at the dock.

After Aguang saw him, the two of them met their eyes for a moment, and then tacitly avoided him, only smiling and saying hello to talk about today's delivery status.

Ye Yaodong said with a depressed look: "Forget it, I haven't seen any good stuff recently. I almost couldn't even make my gas money back today. I obviously added more lead weights and planned to drag down the bottom stuff, but I only caught some toad fish." , the weather is getting colder and the goods are running out.”

"The same goes for us, so my dad doesn't plan to go out to sea anymore. He plans to rest at home and wait until next spring to start working again. Anyway, there is a boat out here. As long as we come over to collect the goods when the boat is out, it can be as much as we want. Some money comes in.”

Those around him were envious when he said this.

Mouse also found an opportunity and asked, "How did you ask the ship boss for your share? Isn't this just like collecting rent?"

Some of the other villagers around had heard of it, and some were not sure about it. Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to hear how they divided it.

Aguang glanced at Mouse, then looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "My father is quite kind, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy for those who go to sea. Our family is also a seafarer, and we know the hard work, so we are 50-50."

"Some of the expenses on the ship, including fuel and labor, will go to Boss Chen, so you just ship out the ship, right? Then the goods that come back to the shore will be sold for half the money?"

"yes."

The villagers all nodded and said, "That's okay..."

"That's not bad. It's better to hire someone to be the boss of a ship than to go out to work..."

"It's better than working as a boatman and running a boat for other people. It's a half-and-half thing..."

But there are also discordant voices.

"Then aren't you just like the landlords in the old society? At that time, farmers used the land for farming, but you are renting the boats."

"Yeah, it's almost like farming on a sharecropping field..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and said loudly: "What are you talking about? Can the landlord give you 50-50? If the landlord gives you *** points, it is considered a conscience. Seventy-three points is normal, and a more ruthless eighty-two is not. No. He even compared A Guang to a landlord. There are only two boats in total, but the landowner has thousands of hectares of land. Can it be compared?"

"That is to say, for those of you who haven't eaten the grapes, don't say the grapes are sour, don't say 50-50, 50-50, *** points. The father and son of the boat can make money together, which is much better than going out to work for others." Ah Cai He also helped from the side and said.

"That's right, half and half is already good."

"Yes, the boat was provided by someone else. It's a big deal. It cost thousands of dollars to buy. Five to five is equivalent to only charging half of your goods as rent. It's more conscientious than a landlord."

The villagers also nodded, thinking it was reasonable.

Mouse also smiled and said: "If the boss of your ship doesn't want to do this, I still want to take over and do it."

The boss of the ship said quickly: "What needs to be done, what needs to be done..."

…

The villagers watched the excitement for a while, and then dispersed after all their goods were collected.

Ye Yaodong and A Guang also walked together, chatting while walking, asking him about his recent gains.

"It's just so-so! It's a bit worse than the previous few months. After all, it's winter. It's normal to have less goods. But anyway, you don't have to do it yourself. It's just like collecting rent. You can earn enough to eat and drink every month. "

"Your father also wants to hold his granddaughter at home, right?"

"Hahaha, it should be. Anyway, it's getting colder every day, and the wind blows every three days. We can't go there for more than a few days a month, so we might as well just take a winter break to recuperate."

"You guys are getting more and more comfortable these days. You can go if you want to, but if you don't want to go, don't go. You also plan to rest for the whole winter. It's so fun."

"You can do it too. You've made so much money, why are you still working so hard? You're not usually so diligent, but now you're getting more diligent, right? Have you changed your gender?"

The two of them were chatting without caring about the feelings of other people around them. The rat who followed them became more and more envious as he listened.

Once upon a time, everyone was pretty much the same when they were hanging out together. When did it start that they were all doing so well?

What if my mother hadn't asked him why he hadn't been in contact with them for a long time, why his friends were doing so well now, and why she hadn't even bothered him? He hasn't noticed yet that the gap between everyone has become so wide?

"I want to do it too." Ye Yaodong pointed behind him at his father who was pushing the cart. "The old man must be willing to do it! My old man can't wait to fuck until he is 80 years old and don't stop."

Father Ye glared at them, "If you didn't work more when you were young, why don't you wait until you are old to work harder? You young people are just ignorant. If you are lazy now, you will have to pay back double when you are old. If you work harder now , I will feel comfortable when I grow old.”

Aguang shrugged, "My dad is lazy. It's him who plans to take a winter break to gain weight. It's not me. I'm still working hard to come out and collect the goods."

Father Ye glanced at him, shook his head and said nothing.

Just coming out to collect goods occasionally is also called hard work?

However, the life of Aguang's family is indeed becoming more and more prosperous and getting better and better.

I bought two boats, and my in-laws made a lot of money on this trip. It's a pity. My daughter gave birth to a daughter for the first time. I wonder if my in-laws have any objections?

Ye Yaodong also thought of this and couldn't help but ask: "My old sister gave birth to a daughter. Is your father unhappy?"

A Guang glared, "Who said that? My daughter is also the first child of our generation in the Pei family. Although my father was a little disappointed at first that he was not a boy, he was also very happy after all. After all, he was upgraded to become a grandfather. He is happy every day recently. I want to hold the baby in my arms.”

He told the truth, "But it is certain that I will have a son. I am the only one in my family. My father also wants me to have another son, but there is no rush. We will wait for a few years."

"What if it's the middle child or a girl?"

"Uh..." Aguang felt embarrassed when he saw the father and son's eyes falling on him.

"Isn't it still early? You just ask this to embarrass me. My daughter is just one month old, and you want to find a reason to beat me up again?"

Father Ye shook his head, "Let's talk about it in a few years. We are still young anyway, and we have to have a son."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that it was embarrassing to ask this question now. He just assumed it before it happened. He was not a woman and liked to mess around.

"It's strict now. We'll wait five years before we talk. Otherwise, something bad happens. When Ah Qing gave birth to Xiao Jiu, I was almost scared to death."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

"Then you don't plan to go to sea this whole winter, and your other boat is just going to be parked at the dock?"

As soon as he said this, Mouse's eyes also shone, and he looked at Aguang with hope, "How about we find a ship boss to partner with us on that ship? Just a few months and one winter is fine."

"Ah?" A Guang looked at him confused.

Mouse chuckled and said, "If you are planning to find someone to partner with you for a few months on that boat, why not find me? I'm sure it will be fine."

A Guang blinked his eyes, and after understanding what he meant, he opened and closed his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it. He and Ye Yaodong just looked at each other quietly.

If he had said this before they stopped contacting each other, he would have responded directly without saying a word. Now...it feels like the friendship has deteriorated a bit.

Moreover, the timing of his posting was when they were both making money and were in the limelight, which made him feel that the purpose was too strong.

However, it would not be good to reject it outright.

He hesitated and said, "I don't know what my father is planning. He has the final say in everything at home. I only heard what he said yesterday. I will ask him when I go back tonight."

"Okay, you should. You have to ask your father."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong looked at Mouse, "What are you doing now?"

"I'm still unloading goods at the dock. Although the wages are not high, the job is more stable, but it's a bit more tiring, so I was thinking about changing to something a little easier."

"Why don't you use some savings to buy a boat? Wouldn't it be better to do it yourself?" Ye Yaodong couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, it's mainly because I don't have money. My wife's parents have had brothers get married every year for the past three years, and they have to pay a lot of money every year. She also has three younger brothers. My head is getting big, and she got married too early. , I always give out the biggest red envelope every time.”

"Moreover, her grandfather has to pay for his birthday when he is 80, my grandma has to pay for it when she is 80, her father has to pay for her 50s, my mother has to pay for her 50s, her brother has to pay for her 30s, and her sister-in-law, I feel endless. Come on, if you don’t earn enough to give out red envelopes, there are several things that require a lot of money every year.”

"Oh, by the way, there are also favors from her relatives. I don't even know how many relatives her family has."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, and he still remembered that his wife seemed to have ten brothers and sisters?

It’s really endless.

After hearing this, Aguang couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for him in his heart. Fortunately, his wife's mother-in-law was very supportive, and no amount of money was enough to subsidize him.

No wonder I worked day and night and had no money left.

"This...every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. How about you take care of the money yourself?"

"Don't you still have to pay for your own money?"

Ye Yaodong also asked curiously: "Does your mother know so much about your wife's family?"

Mouse thought for a moment, "Isn't it clear? My mother always scolds her for going back to her parents' house every three days, but she has to go back if something happens to her family. My wife asked me to tell my mother everything, so as not to be at home all day long. I don’t want to hear them arguing all day long.”

This is really... people don't know what to say.

I had known before that Mouzi would go back to his parents' house with his wife every three days, but I didn't know about this.

With so many things going on in his wife's family, it's no wonder he can save money.

"You'd better be more thoughtful."

"Oh, I just earn too little. If I earn more, I will have money left over."

How can you still say this?

They are also convinced. How much money do you need to earn to have enough money left?

Ye Yaodong and A Guang both wanted to chuckle after hearing this, and even Ye's father frowned after hearing this.

"Your wife's family is not good at it. If you can't figure it out, just tell your parents. They have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice."

"ah?"

Ye Yaodong spoke up: "Let me ask you, are you willing to have all the money you earned from your hard work go into other people's pockets?"

"This...this favor should be given and deserved!"

"Okay, then you try to find a few more jobs and work slowly."

Aguang couldn't help but remind him, "Isn't your wife's mother-in-law obviously trying to suck your blood? It's all against your bottom line. You're full."

Although their friendship has deteriorated and they are somewhat estranged from each other, this does not prevent them from saying a few words to wake him up.

After hearing what they said, Mouse also frowned, and felt that they were more humane. There were more than a dozen brothers and sisters in their village, and they didn't have as many things as her family, and they all had to pay for all kinds of things.

He had mentioned it a few times before, but his wife kept asking him why he didn't marry someone without a father or mother? In this way, there is no need for favors, no need for communication, and there are not so many things to worry about.

He just shut up when the trouble caused him a headache, and comforted himself that it was normal to have many brothers and sisters, and to have many favors.

"I'll go back and ask."

"We are not trying to sow discord between you and your husband. We are just reminding you that you should talk properly when you go back."

"Well, then you can help me ask your father if you want to find a captain for your ship. If you leave it idle there, it will be idle. You can let it out to make some money. It only takes a few months."

Still thinking about it, Aguang responded casually. Intellectually and emotionally, he didn't intend to get along with him. It didn't matter whether he had a grudge or something else.

He just planned to find an excuse to kill it tomorrow. Anyway, he just said it was his father's intention and let his father take the blame.

The mouse followed them halfway until the road forked, and then he left. Ye Yaodong stopped Aguang. The family had saved some eggs during this period, and asked him to take some back with him.

"I always feel a little embarrassed when this comes up all of a sudden."

"If they are not embarrassed, why are you embarrassed? What is there to be embarrassed about? If you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed. Anyway, we can just be ordinary friends. The relationship is not very good to begin with."

"Well, that's the truth. Anyway, it's just because we saw that we had made some money, so we just wanted to join in."

"Yes, you just gave me a basket of pears yesterday."

"I also gave me a basket of pears yesterday."

Father Ye listened to their conversation and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are some of your friends having a conflict?"

"Nothing, just a small problem."

"It's just a minor conflict and it's none of his business."

"Then he specifically asked for it, but he just came to the door yesterday to repair the relationship. Today he proposed that he be the boss of Aguang's ship. He was a little too anxious."

"I'm really too anxious." A Guang nodded.

"Don't worry about it, you won't care anyway."
