Chapter 758 Blatant Gift Giving

Ye Yaodong asked Ah Cai to write down a separate bill of goods. The goods they fished out would be recorded separately so that they could settle accounts and divide the money.

The next day, because he had a free day and wanted to set off firecrackers for good luck, Ye Yaodong did not go to sea at night and stayed at home, while his father took Brother Asheng to drive a boat out to sea to trawl.

He had to wait until he had set off firecrackers and fireworks on the shore in the morning, then went to the border station in town to deliver gifts, and then he could take his eldest cousin out on a boat in the afternoon. He planned to go directly to the sea to collect squid.

At the same time, his eldest brother also stayed at home, and his second brother, like his father, took the people out to sea first to trawl the net.

After the firecrackers were set off and it was a good day, his eldest brother immediately sailed out without wasting any time!

Lin Xiuqing also cut the cakes she had ordered in advance early in the morning, wrapped them in all-purpose newspapers, and put them in bamboo baskets for Mother Ye to carry to the pier on a pole and distribute them to relatives and friends who were watching the fun. .

As for the ones that were given to the border guard station, she put them in separate baskets and waited for Adong to come back from the pier after setting off the firecrackers and fireworks.

The crackling sound of firecrackers outside the pier and the banging fireworks in the air attracted all the men, women and children in the village to run out. It was a rare opportunity to watch the excitement and get a piece of cake. The villagers went out to support the event actively.

They ordered enough pastries for the two boats to spend the day together, but it was such a big wedding that they couldn't save the money.

After Lin Xiuqing finished working on the pastries, she happily held her child in her arms. She and the old lady stood at the door and looked towards the dock. She also talked to the child.

"Did you hear that? This is the sound of firecrackers and fireworks. It was your father who bought two more boats. Our family now has three boats, and next year we will have four boats."

The old lady also said jokingly: "This child can walk sideways in the village next year."

Ye Xiaoxi took a small piece of steamed cake in her hand and gnawed it. Watching the two of them talking, it felt like they were talking about her.

She looked at this and that, hesitated for a moment, looked at the cake in her hand, and finally thought about it and stuffed it into her mother's mouth.

"Huh? I won't eat. I won't eat. You can eat it yourself."

"Ahh~"

"Eat it yourself." Lin Xiuqing took her hand again and asked her to stuff it into her mouth, so that she wouldn't have to carry it around.

Ye Xiaoxi took it out of his mouth again, drooling all over him, and stuffed it into the old lady's direction. The old lady turned her head and hid.

"Eat it yourself, eat it yourself, this kid is so generous!"

"Ahh~" After Ye Xiaoxi screamed twice, Lin Xiuqing grabbed her hand again and asked her to stuff it into her mouth, and she stopped.

"Much more generous than her brothers!" Lin Xiuqing smiled and kissed her child's cheek again.

"The two brothers seemed fine and would let her go."

"After all, she is still young and doesn't know how to snatch things from them, hahaha~" She also laughed as she said that.

The old lady also laughed.

Most of their neighbors have gone to sea, and the women have followed them. Digging shellfish meat is now one of their important jobs.

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also followed Ye Yaohua's boat and left first at night. At this time, there was really no one at the door, only Lin Xiuqing and the old lady stood at the door.

The two stood there talking and laughing until they could no longer hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, then they happily entered the house.

As soon as the old lady sat down, she muttered happily, "I will make a lot of money soon, Mazu bless me, bless Dongzi and the others to make a lot of money..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and didn't answer, just watching the child, otherwise she would run around and cause trouble.

Not long after, Ye Yaodong came back carrying a basket with his mother.

Mother Ye looked beaming with joy, "Oh, this early in the morning, the dock is full of people, all coming to see our boat. Those people are kind to us as if they were free of charge, but they are really nice to say."

"Have you finished dividing the cakes? Is it enough?"

"It's almost. It's okay to send it home later. Dongzi quickly rides his bike and sends this basket to the border guard station. At least it will let people know that we understand the rules."

"Well, let me wash my face first. It's so hot, and my forehead is sweating from all the work."

"I'll twist a towel for you." Lin Xiuqing smiled and actively went to the washstand to get his towel and go to the back door.

Ye Yaodong picked up Ye Xiaoxi who was wandering around the house, "Is it delicious?"

She nodded and raised her little hand again, thinking about sharing.

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth, took her hand, and took a big bite, leaving only a little bit on her fingertips. Ye Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment.

She stared at her fingers for a long time, and then looked at her father who was chewing the bar in his mouth. His mouth began to flatten, and he began to simmer.

"Oh yo yo...yo yo yo...don't cry, don't cry, there's more, we still have it at home..."

"Woo woo woo, wow wow wow~"

Ye Xiaoxi pursed his lips for a while, pondered for a while, and then burst into tears.

She was so polite, why did she really eat it?

This is not common sense! ! !

All the adults in the room laughed. Mother Ye smiled and patted Ye Yaodong twice, "Let you tease her! She took such a big bite and only left a tiny bit of fart on her fingertips. Didn't she cry?"

"Why are you crying?" Lin Xiuqing just twisted a towel and came in quickly when she heard the cry.

Ye Xiaoxi's tears kept flowing down her face. She looked at Lin Xiuqing with tearful eyes, showed her the little cake on her fingertips, and then cried even louder.

She hugged the child and glanced at Ye Yaodong, who was still chewing the bar. She didn't understand why. She also slapped him twice and scolded him with a smile: "Why did you really eat it? Why are you so embarrassed to eat hers?"

"Why are you so embarrassed? I was just teasing her, who knew she could be so stingy?"

"What child doesn't care about his food? It's weird if he doesn't cry when he only has a few bites left! He's not afraid that the cake in her hand has been fed to chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs!"

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened and his neck stretched, "Really?"

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and didn't answer, just let him think so. Then she quickly coaxed the child and cut her a small piece again before she stopped crying.

Ye's mother urged him, "Go to town quickly, don't delay too late, lest people miss get off work and rush to work. Aren't you going to sea at noon?"

"Go right now."

Ye Yaodong picked up the kettle on the stove, held the spout to his mouth and took two sips. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then hung the basket on the table on the bicycle handlebar, and then pushed the bicycle out.

"Wait a minute, I haven't given you the money yet, and you haven't bought the cigarettes or alcohol yet."

"Ah, yes, yes."

"You don't have such a memory." Lin Xiuqing took out the five cards she had prepared in her pocket and handed them to him, "Should that be enough?"

"It's about the same. Moutai costs 12 yuan. If you buy two bottles and some cigarettes, it should be about the same."

"Well, if it's not enough, you can make up for it with the ten dollars under the pillow."

"Okay, ah?" Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted instantly and quickly explained, "Oh, it's leftover from the camera I bought the day before yesterday. I forgot about it. I'm leaving first."

He quickly stuffed the money into his pocket, pushed his bicycle, picked up his sunhat and ran away.

The day before yesterday, he paid half of the remaining money and kept the other half. He only said that the film was too expensive. When he took a shower, he took the money out of his pocket and hid it under the pillow. He took it out and put it in his pocket this morning. He didn't expect that the secret would be revealed so quickly. .

hateful!

Okay, why are you digging under the pillow when you have nothing to do? There is no place to hide any money.

Ye Yaodong cursed, turned over and got on the car after leaving the door.

After arriving in the town, he still had to buy cigarettes and alcohol, so he had to hurry up and don't delay going to sea at noon.

Along the way, he rode his bicycle very fast. Fortunately, he wore a hat to protect him from the sun and dust.

When he was waiting for Director Tang in the bureau the day before yesterday, he saw their people coming in from time to time. He probably had an idea in his mind. There should only be a dozen or so people sitting in the office on a daily basis.

Ye Yaodong calculated the number of people and would rather buy more than less. He spent all the money in his pocket and quickly bought cigarettes and wine. At the same time, he sorted out the cakes in the basket and stacked them to make room for them. Drink wine, and then cover it with the cloth above.

He also asked the boss to get a net bag to put the cigarettes in and carry it in his hand, otherwise he would not be able to put it down.

The two bottles of wine are relatively expensive. It's not good to be too blatant. You still have to cover it up a little.

He bought the boat just the day before yesterday, and everyone still knew him. As soon as Ye Yaodong entered, someone asked him what he was doing here again. It was the young police officer we chatted with the day before yesterday.

"Hello comrade, I'm here to deliver cakes to everyone. It's a good day today. The boat sailed back the day before yesterday. I set off two firecrackers this morning for good luck and sent cakes to all my relatives and friends. I thought it would be inconvenient without everyone. , I couldn’t drive the boat home, so I specially rode over here to give it to everyone, so they could have a taste and share the good luck.”

"It's not a good thing, it just means a good thing. It's good every year, and it gets better every year. I hope you can reach a higher level."

As Ye Yaodong spoke, he lifted up the half-covered cloth, gave the young police officer a piece of cake wrapped in newspaper, and handed him two packs of cigarettes.

"A little care, a little thought."

The little police officer happily took it, "You are quite thoughtful. Didn't you say it was Baisha Village the day before yesterday? I didn't expect it to be sent to the town. This cake is good. The town only sends noodles and tea cakes. Without you This cake has a good meaning."

"It means that this has a good meaning, you will get rich every year, and you will get better and better..."

Others also gathered around curiously. Ye Yaodong, one for each, received a piece of cake and two packs of cigarettes.

The police officers in the station were all happy and smiling, and they also said kind words such as thank you and "bon voyage". The atmosphere was warm and noisy, which actually alarmed the office inside.

The two directors came out curiously.

"What are you doing? Are you happy?"

"Huh?"

"Hello, two leaders!" Ye Yaodong quickly stepped forward and bowed, expressed his intention to come, and thanked him by the way.

"Thank you, two directors, for your hard work..."

Regardless of whether it is a matter of one sentence, or whether one person speaks or two people speak, there is nothing wrong with bringing them all.

"If you're interested, let's go into the office and talk."

"Hey, good."

Ye Yaodong followed with a basket. What he wanted was to go to the office and tell him, otherwise he would not be able to give gifts easily.

There is another one that is late, don’t wait any longer
