Chapter 638 He Knows How to Calculate

Ye Yaodong on the table was still eating and talking.

"Those children are not young anymore. Ah Hai is already 13. The following ones are only one or two years apart from each other. They are all taller than the stove. Can they cook by themselves? They are such big people. How come you still need to be well cared for? Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family, so whose children...are carrying stools and standing on them to cook when they are less than ten years old..."

"Then how can it be the same? They are all going to school, and when they come back from school, they have to make a fire to cook. Let's not talk about whether it is decent or not. How long will it be when they finish cooking and finish eating? Don't burn the house down. ." Moreover, there is no adult, and she is an aunt, so shouldn't she have to go and take a look at her?

Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense. This left several children to do the work on their own, and she didn't need her help later. This kind of thankless job may very well be long-term, and she doesn't want to deal with it.

"It's good to give it to grandpa and grandma. It's so close, but it's not that far away." After Ye's father concluded, he immediately changed the subject.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, ride over to tell your Brother Asheng that we will go to sea around 5 o'clock in the morning." Ye Mu turned around and asked,

"So late?"

"It's just a collection of sticky nets. There are no trawl nets or long-line fishing. There are only more than 40 nets now. It's okay to go out later. It can be collected in one day. If you go out later, you can sleep a little longer."

"Then if you go early, you can come back early. You can leave more time for killing fish, so you don't have to kill fish in the dark every day." The old lady interjected,

"It doesn't matter if you kill the fish a little later. If you don't sleep and get up early every night, people will not be able to bear it after a long time."

"Lighting the lights up so late every day doesn't cost electricity, which costs a lot of money every month."

"Okay, what's there to say? I didn't ask you to pay the electricity bill. I worry so much every day that I quickly washed the two bowls and went next door to help kill the fish. I'm still talking here." Father Ye stood up and said so. After saying a few words, he put the bowl into the pot for Mother Ye to wash together, and urged her to work more and talk less.

"If you want to live, don't let me say anything..."

"What you said doesn't make sense. If it makes sense, who would think you're verbose? You must prick up your ears and listen carefully." Mother Ye glared at him, washed the bowl casually and put it on the stove, her hands were wet. I scratched my apron and went out with the cutting board and knife.

"I'm just a worker..."

"Who is not a worker?" Father Ye heard her whisper before she left, and followed her.

Ye Yaodong also answered,

"What are you doing?" Everyone on the table looked at him inexplicably.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Children, don't be so curious, just give me something to eat and do your homework. You're trying to get two 100-point exams, and you've been dawdling for a long time without eating a bite."

"Just one bite, so much food..." After he muttered, he proudly said, holding his neck.

"Besides, I've finished my homework a long time ago!"

"Have you memorized the book?"

"The teacher didn't say memorize it."

"Then if your mother doesn't ask you to eat, you don't have to eat? Don't you memorize more? Why do you show off in school? Think about it, if the teacher reads a random sentence during class, you can pick it up On, and you connected it correctly, all the classmates looked at you with admiration, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?" Ye Chenghu blinked at him, and after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense, but ,

"It's useless to memorize it. Everyone must think that I'm just reading the book and memorizing it, so they won't look at me with admiration. I don't want to memorize it." As he said this, he quickly put the bowl on the table and ran away immediately. .

Lin Xiuqing looked at Ye Yaodong funny,

"How can he be so easy to deceive? He is so old, and he is not a fool. He can just coax him a few words and believe him."

"You brat, with this kind of virtue, you can get 100 points in two exams. The sun is going to come out in the west." Ye Chengyang was so anxious when he saw Ye Chenghu running away, he held the spoon and pulled it quickly, and then he also quickly Throw it away and quickly chase after it.

The two brothers are inseparable from each other, and Meng is inseparable from each other. When they are good, they are like the same person. After dinner, Ye Yaodong also went next door to watch the two sisters-in-law killing fish, and then walked to a few neighboring houses. The women from the neighboring houses were also killing fish enthusiastically. He heard the voices here from a distance, and felt It sounds quite lively, and the passion is not diminished in the cold weather.

It was only when he got closer that he heard that they were talking about the sea monster they donated years ago as a reward, and the village committee belatedly sent it over today.

Not to mention what the reward is, everyone is dissatisfied with the efficiency alone, and everyone is complaining and condemning it.

Almost two months! The reason given was that it was the Chinese New Year and there were a lot of things to do, so I kept putting them aside without approval. After the Chinese New Year, I had to do important things first, and then it rained intermittently, which also affected the speed of mailing, so I waited until today to deliver it. Village It was delivered to your door in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, several sisters-in-law of the Zhou family had already complained a lot. Now several women gathered together to kill fish and chat. They started talking and scolding again.

"It's just 50 yuan and a piece of paper. I don't know what's written on it. I've been digging around so much that I can't bear to give it a flag. With just this little thing, I can still delay it for two months. I'm convinced."

"It's good that I can still give it. So much time has passed and I thought it was gone and the donation was in vain."

"After all, I still have 50 yuan. You can still share a cent, so be content, otherwise you won't even get those ugly things when you give them away, and your work will be in vain." Sister-in-law Zhou pursed her lips.

"I just waited too long and thought it was gone..."

"It's good to have something in hand..." Ye Yaodong stood aside and listened to their discussion before he touched his chin and thought, what he got at that time was quite a lot?

There were glorious banners, subsidies from the county, subsidies from the village, and bits and pieces that left them several blocks away, although the things he handed over were extraordinary.

Thinking about it this way, he felt a lot more comfortable. Although the value of the thing was compared to that of the tripod, it was still not as good as the previous one but more than the lower value. Mazu also benefited.

The Mazu Temple next to it would probably have been completed by now if it hadn't been due to the Chinese New Year and the rain, which stopped work for almost a month.

I heard that the day after the new year is already optimistic about the day of the Liang Dynasty. It is the day of my birthday.

The village is already making preparations. I heard that the theater troupe has been invited in advance, saying that they will sing for seven days and seven nights to celebrate.

Ye Yaodong listened for a while and felt that he had not heard any useful information, so he went to his second uncle's house to find Brother A Sheng.

Their whole family lives together, but they are separated in name only. They don't have money to build their own houses, so they are still crowded together.

Except for his own family, he is quite indifferent to other relatives. He has never been close to him in his previous life, and he can't be affectionate. Moreover, his second uncle is not very cold. Apart from normal human exchanges, he meets them on the road. , and he didn’t even say hello.

Unexpectedly, when he visited their home for the first time after his rebirth, he was warmly welcomed by his second uncle. As soon as he sat down at Brother Asheng's house, his second uncle came out in a hurry without even putting on his clothes. When he came to him, he was still wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

"You are a busy person now. How come you still have time to come here so late? It's a cold day and it's even colder at night. It's okay if you have nothing to do. It won't be good if you catch a cold while walking back and forth at night. That will delay you. Make money." The enthusiastic tone with a smile on his face almost made him think that he had a good relationship with his second uncle's family.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy!

"No, I just came back from going to sea. I came here after having a meal. I want to invite Brother Asheng to go to sea together at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay, he will definitely be free and will definitely go with you." Ye Yaosheng looked at Uncle Ye helplessly,

"I knew I was going to the Wang family to help build the pig pen..." Uncle Ye turned around and glared at him.

"The Wang family has no men? Are you still asked to work? How many people do you need to build a pigsty? Can't they do it themselves? What's your relationship? You're not married. If you have this time, you might as well work more and save some money. , let Dongzi pull you out, do you still need to wait to marry that woman from the Wang family?"

"That family had a lot of troubles, so they shouldn't have agreed at that time. Wasn't it guaranteed that they would have a son? They were coaxed by the matchmaker at that time. Why would they definitely be able to have a son in the future...

"Tomorrow I will ask the person I introduced before to come to their door and tell them clearly. Don't try to get involved in any conspiracy. We don't believe this. Marrying a widow is better than marrying that woman. This person hasn't married yet, and all your money has been spent. I've made a bunch of people, I'm trying to suck your blood, I can't be taken advantage of..."

"I promised and then went back on my word..."

"What's wrong with going back on your word? We're not engaged or married, so we can divorce even if we're married..." Ye Yaodong sat there, frowning and being forced to listen to the father and son talking. He was here to invite someone, I'm not here to hear them talk about their family's shortcomings.

"Hey, wait a minute, Brother Asheng is not free tomorrow, right? If not, then I will call someone else."

"Whenever I have time, I must follow you. It's rare that you think about him as a brother, and if you want to win over him, he must hold on to you first." After saying that, he turned around and glared at Ye Yaosheng again.

Ye Yaosheng thought about it and agreed.

"I will definitely go there on time tomorrow." Uncle Ye was satisfied.

"That's right. Dongzi is now a man who earns a lot of money. He has a lot to do and a lot of work. Brothers at home can't help. Your cousins ​​are also brothers and relatives. We are broken bones and connected with tendons. We should help. It’s time to help more.” Ye Yaosheng nodded.

Ye Yaodong also couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. His second uncle was really good at making small calculations, but it was a pity that he was old and illiterate, so he was limited in his talents, otherwise he might still be able to make some achievements.

Erbo Ye continued to smile at him and said: "Your brother A Sheng is too honest, and his life has not been smooth in recent years. With you thinking about him, his life will be easier in the future, and he will not let us age. Yes, you still have to worry about it..."

"If I can earn more money in the future, marry a wife with peace of mind, and give birth to a big fat boy, I can rest in peace even after I die. Now I am worried about him. This person's life is not easy. After so long, he There is no woman in the family who can help..." Uncle Ye caught him chattering, and Ye Yaodong felt his head grow bigger when he heard it.

Why does this person have no sense of boundaries at all? He is quite forgetful, and the unpleasant things may have been cached in his mind.

Ye Yaodong stood up directly and did not listen to his nagging. He was not here to make love to his wife. He was here to hire someone to do work. Let him do as he should.

Looking at his appearance, Ye Yaosheng knew that he was a little impatient at being verbose, so he quickly pulled his own father away who still wanted to talk.

"Now that it's been decided, I'll go back first. I still have things to do at home. Brother Asheng, just remember to come on time tomorrow." Ye Yaosheng nodded,

"Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow morning. It's quite dark outside, so you should go back early. Did you bring a flashlight? I'll get one here..."

"I've brought it. I'm leaving first." Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand from his sleeve and turned on the flashlight in his hand.

It was cold, and his hands were tucked into his sleeves. Only the light of the flashlight came out through the cuffs, illuminating the road one or two meters ahead.
