Chapter 938 Returning Home in Glory (7000 Words)

Father Ye stood aside and was very happy. It didn't matter that he was ignored. He just felt happy. He said with a glow on his face: "Go home first, then we will talk about it. Carry the things back first. Everyone else went back one after another." , let’s not stand here, the sun hasn’t completely set yet, and it’s still very hot.”

The old lady also hurriedly agreed, with a wrinkled smile on her face, and took Ye Yaodong's hand, "That's right, let's talk about it when we get back, I'm exhausted..."

Ye Yaodong turned around and went to the basket first, handing the rag doll he fished out of the sea to Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi's eyes widened in an instant, and he quickly hugged her with agility, and let out two excited screams.

Listening to the other children around her calling ragdoll, she followed suit.

"rag doll...rag doll..."

"What a big doll...so beautiful..."

"I want it too, I want it too..."

"I want it too, I want it too. Dad, did you buy it for me too? I want that big rag doll..." Children from other families also pulled their own father and shouted.

Ye Xiaoxi's face was also flushed with excitement, and his teeth that were not fully grown were exposed, and he smiled so hard that his teeth were almost invisible.

"Do you like it?" Ye Yaodong asked her with a doting look on his face.

"like."

After she said something softly, she shouted loudly, "I like it!"

"Dad, what about ours? Where's ours?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll get it for you when I get back. It's all buried underneath, so it's hard to look for it. I took it out because this doll is bigger."

"Third uncle, do you have any for us?"

"Go to your father, they have brought you gifts too."

Several children were like idlers in an instant. They had just seen the rag doll and ran over immediately. Now when they heard that their father had bought too much, they ran back and started arguing around their father.

In an instant, the pier was filled with all kinds of noises from a group of children. Even the children who had already moved forward turned around and saw the eye-catching big doll and started to make noises.

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "This doll is not cheap, isn't it? Even our supply and marketing cooperative can't buy such a big one..."

"This doll is so beautiful. A Dong is so willing to wear the bright red dress..."

"I've already made a lot of money, so why wouldn't I want to give it up? If I could earn tens of thousands of yuan, I would be willing to give it up, one for each person in the family..."

Some villagers didn't have any relatives to go out with them, they just came out to watch the fun, and everyone gathered around them, interrupting and asking questions.

"A Dong, Ye Laosan, how much money did you earn on this trip?"

"You should make a lot of money, right? I bought a lockbox. Isn't it full of money?"

"Doesn't this noodle cost over a hundred yuan? I heard it's quite expensive and it's made of leather. Oops, I might as well buy a bicycle for this..."

"Are you stupid? Don't they all have bicycles? They have TVs, they have everything. They have earned a lot of money, but they are not allowed to buy a lockbox to put it in. If they put it in a sack, others will see it and steal it. What should I do?"

"Yes, yes, you have to carry the money in your suitcase..."

"How much money can be put in this box? The ones they just had were all holding lock boxes. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they really made a fortune this time..."

"We have to think of a way to go with him next year. If we can't afford a boat, we might as well go work with him. I heard that the salary for going with him is 90 yuan a month. It's much better than going with a big boat, and it's better than working at home. too much……"

The villagers followed up and asked, but received no reply, because Ye Yaodong and Ye's father each had one mouth, and they were almost overwhelmed with all the questions and answers from his wife. They had no time to answer other people's questions.

Ye Mu also had a smile on her face, feeling that the scenery today was extremely beautiful.

The three sons drove four boats with the man, and the son-in-law's family also owned several boats. Together they made a lot of money and came back, which made her even more proud.

While she was waiting, a group of women caught her and praised her for her good fortune and her ability to give birth. Even though she had given birth to so many sons, she was still so promising.

She actually felt the same way, and she felt quite proud of it.

"Fortunately, I set off early today and can come back before the sun goes down..."

"Mom, don't you feel so beautiful too? Your face is glowing..."

Mother Ye wanted to hide the smile on her face, but she couldn't. She deliberately pursed her lips and still smiled.

"I was thinking that if you came back early, you could still be in time for dinner..."

"You didn't mean what you said, did we make you look good?" Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile.

Mother Ye didn't hold back her smile and glared at him with a smile, "Yes, you've made me look good. Fortunately, I came back during the day and had a good view. Otherwise, when we came back in the middle of the night, people might think we were all disgraced." Make money.”

"That's not possible. People call us back every three days, and some of them report exactly how much money they made. How could they think that we didn't make any money? We just keep a low profile when we come back at night."

Sister-in-law Ye also smiled and said: "It has been spread throughout the village for a long time. It has been said that after a trip to Zhejiang Province, our village has more than 100,000-yuan households. No village in the country can compare with our village."

Sister-in-law Ye also said with a smile on her face: "That's right. In the days since you left, everyone in the village has been talking about your fishing for jellyfish."

"Isn't that right? Most of the strong laborers in the village have left, and the rest are old, weak, women and children. When a bunch of people get together, they just talk about the men in the family going to make money."

"A Dong owns several boats, so he should earn more, right? Does he earn tens of thousands?"

"Yes, each of them has earned a household of ten thousand yuan. If you have several boats, how about several households worth ten thousand yuan?"

After all the talking, everyone is still most concerned about how much money his family earns.

"I've made a lot of money, but I've also spent a lot of money. With so many people, two months of food and drink, as well as gas money and wages cost thousands of dollars. I really don't know how much money I've made. I've sent as much as I can in a few days, I'll do the math when I get back."

He really only knew a rough idea, but he didn’t know exactly how much he earned.

"I must have made tens of thousands. You have so many ships, so you made a lot of money..."

"Why are you so smart? You bought so many boats at once this year and earned back all of them..."

"Not only did he make money back, he made a lot of money. Even the people who followed him made a lot of money. It's really amazing..."

"They've all made all the money..."

"Next year I will bite the bullet and buy a boat to follow..."

"Yes, yes. If you go with me, you can still have some soup. If you don't go with me, you'll just have to watch at home."

There were so many sour and envious words that I couldn't finish them all.

It's just so realistic.

You brought the villagers back with you and earned a lot of money, that is, you returned home in fine clothes. Everyone gathered around you and said good things and complimented you. Good words cost no money. After all, you are the hero of the whole village and the God of Wealth.

But if he didn't make any money, there would be a lot of ridicule behind his back. Fortunately, he made money.

Even if there are more ships next year, I can still drink some soup. I will definitely not make as much as I did this year. The ships that follow me this year are really lucky.

These two months have been purely about picking up money, and there is no better way to earn money than this year.

Next year there will be more monks and less porridge, but we will still be able to fill our stomachs. It will be the flood season after all.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about everyone's harsh words, held the child in his arms, accommodated the old lady's movement speed, and walked slowly at the back.

The big guys saw that the whole family was talking, and after asking a few questions, they found that they were walking too slowly. As the team in front moved forward, they moved with the team in front, walking faster, and listened to the people in front of them. What happened while they were fishing.

The team gradually distanced itself. Those who were walking fast had already turned into the village, and they also put some distance between themselves and the people in front of them.

Ye Yaodong said to Lin Xiuqing: "When you go back later, count the money. Count out 6 copies of the 180 yuan, and count 4 copies of the 202 yuan. Ask your mother to send it to each of them. They have already arrived home, so hurry up and get it. Their wages were sent to them, which also made their whole family happy.”

"There's also a share for dad. I'll give it to him later. I can take it back with me when I get home."

"I'm fine, don't be in a hurry, just send them and the others over early, don't delay it all night."

Ye Yaodong also looked at Chen Shi who was following him, "Don't leave in a hurry. You can go back after you get your wages."

Chen Shihan smiled and nodded.

During this time, he went out with them for two months, and he also grew a lot taller in an instant. The boy grew later. Before, he looked like a half-sized boy who was only over 1.6 meters tall. In an instant, he grew to 1.76 meters. He has grown up and is a rare tall person in their village.

Although they leave early and come back late, it is hard to stay at sea all the time, but the meals Ye Yaodong arranged for them are very good, and they are never fussy about food and drink. After all, he has to eat with them.

Fish, meat, eggs and vegetables are indispensable every day, and the meals are enough. The half-sized boy who is still growing his body will grow taller in no time if he has enough nutrition.

Mother Ye said with a smile: "Those boys used to deliver firewood to our house every day, which was regarded as giving themselves money. They just picked up a job for nothing."

"They have sold their labor, and our family also needs people to work and watch over it. With these boys here, doesn't it save you and Ah Qing a lot of trouble?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, you men are not at home, so you have to rely on them to help with everything. During the day, you carry water and chop firewood, and in the evening, you come to the workshop to take turns on duty."

"They're not here right now. I didn't see them."

If they were there, they would have gathered around them long ago.

"They haven't come here yet. It's not yet time. I just asked them to go home for dinner. They will probably come here soon."

"Have you paid them the salary for the past two months?"

"It was distributed for a month. Last month, I worked for a few days at the end of the month. It was distributed for a few days. Now it is also the end of the month. I will distribute it to them in two days."

"It won't take more than two days. When we come over later, we can pay them their wages together. Let's pay them in advance. I also brought back a lot of mooncakes for them."

Lin Xiuqing was surprised, "Everyone has one?"

"yes."

It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no one person is allowed to receive a mooncake as a welfare.

"How many are there? The mooncake boss is the boss."

"I bought thirty of them and gave them one to each of them. I still have a lot left. When the time comes, your parents' family will give some to you, your aunt and the fat man will also give some, and your relatives on your mother's side will give some. I should have two or three left at home, which is enough to eat."

"Okay, then I will calculate the wages for them later and let them take them back with the mooncakes."

Chen Shi happily thanked him again and again.

It’s true, because I thank you endlessly...

Mother Ye smiled with a headache and changed the subject, "Then when I send the wages over later, I will also send them mooncakes."

Everyone walked home talking and laughing all the way. Those who walked in front of them were the families living by the beach, and their relatives and friends, who also followed them home curiously.

During the two months they were away from home, there were three or four more families nearby. They were all newly built houses and they had moved in some time ago.

Ye Yaodong just asked a few questions casually and didn't care. There were many people living nearby but it didn't have much to do with him.

It's more lively and lively, and the door isn't so dark at night, so some vendors can walk past their door.

As soon as he reached the door of his house, the dogs all gathered around him affectionately, barking wildly and wagging their tails. Some of them climbed onto his lap, making him unable to move.

"Go, go, go, I haven't seen you for two months, and you're still so shameless."

He kicked one of them away, and the dog's paws almost climbed onto Ye Xiaoxi's feet.

After being kicked away by him, the dogs rolled around on the ground and followed them into the house.

As soon as the bamboo basket carried by Ye's father and Ye's mother was put down, Ye Chenghu immediately pounced on it and pulled it up.

Ye Chengyang also helped to pick up the things his elder brother had picked up, and his arms were full.

"Why are you anxious? Don't look around. They are all gifts bought for your mother and the others. Your gifts are here."

Ye Yaodong took out a cloth bag from the basket. It was used to store clothes before, but he tidied it up later and simply used it to store the toy cars.

The two boys watched their father pick up the cloth bag. There was a crash and a pile of toy cars fell all over the ground. They both stared straight in the eyes!

It roared immediately again.

"Car... toy car..."

"Iron car...ahhh...Dad, you are great, you understand me so well, I want this, I just want this, I like this car the most..."

"Ah! Dad, you are so awesome. There are so many cars. I like them so much. I like this car the most. Okay, mine, mine..."

"My, my..."

"mine……"

The two children talked excitedly and slobbered wildly. They didn't care about the dust on the ground. They threw themselves directly on the ground and pulled the toys on the ground into their arms, for fear of being taken advantage of by the other party.

Even if the opponent has already pulled him into his arms, he still has to reach out and grab one more.

"mine……"

"That'smine……"

Ye Yaodong looked at the two lying on the ground and really wanted to step on them, "Stop fighting, each person will take half, put them in the middle and take turns to pick, and give one to each of Ahai and the others after picking the rest. Don't give it to the girls."

"No, why should I give it to them? No one will give it to me. This is mine."

"They also have fathers. Let the eldest uncle and the second uncle buy it for them. Why should we give it to them? Isn't it bought for us?" Ye Chengyang refused.

What boy can resist a toy car?

What's more, in this era of scarce resources, all toys are made by themselves, or they find things to play with by themselves.

Having a toy car is almost like having a Rolls-Royce as an adult.

It's already in their hands, and if you want to cut the flesh out of their hands, there's no way.

"I won't give it to anyone!"

"Me too, this is ours!"

The two of them were extremely protective of their food.

Lin Xiuqing was dumbfounded when she looked at the toy cars all over the floor. Listening to the back-and-forth conversation between the father and son, she didn't even have time to react. When she did, her heart ached.

Although I have earned tens of thousands, the money does not come from the strong wind. If you love your children, just buy one or two for them to play with.

Is it crazy to buy so many now, and they are all similar toy cars?

"Why did you buy so many toy cars? These cars are very expensive. Each one costs more than ten or twenty yuan. If you want to buy one, just buy one or two. If you buy so many..."

Mother Ye was also heartbroken, "Why are you so prodigal? There are so many toy cars, which cost hundreds of dollars. What can't you do with all this money? Buy all these cars, and you open a toy store? Go out and get more It will cost money..."

Ye Yaodong quickly interrupted the two women's chatter, "I didn't buy this, I fished it out of the sea."

"Ah?" Both of them were surprised.

"When I first set out, I was fishing on the sea, and I caught a big box. When I opened it, there were two big dolls like Xiaojiu's hand, and a bunch of these small car toys."

Lin Xiuqing blinked at Ye's mother and was stunned. It must not be a lie, Ye's father followed him.

"Can you catch a box while fishing?"

"Ang, I also think it's quite strange. You can catch a box while fishing, and you can also get a bunch of toys. It's quite amazing."

Ye Mu said in surprise: "Can what I catch be a fish? I can actually catch a box..."

"Let me tell you, Azheng also caught a broken shoe, which made me laugh to death..."

"Fortunately, it's only one. If there were two, wouldn't you be able to turn around and go back on the spot?"

Ye Yaodong instantly shuddered, "Mom, what ghost story are you telling? When you are so happy, you tell such horrible things."

Father Ye also glared at her, "Can you speak?"

Mother Ye smiled sarcastically, "Aren't you quick-tongued and saying whatever comes to mind..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and smoothed things over, "That's pretty good luck. I was able to get a bunch of toys out, so I didn't have to buy them gifts. Look, they were rolling on the ground with so much joy."

"These cars are not cheap. I have seen them in Taiwanese stores before. Each one costs more than ten or twenty yuan. They are very expensive. If you sell these cars, they can be sold for two to three hundred yuan..."

"Not for sale!"

Ye Chenghu became anxious and shouted loudly. He hugged the toy car tightly in his arms like a protective calf, and threw himself on it, trying to cover up the car so that no trace of it could be seen.

Ye Chengyang immediately got up, took off his clothes, put the portion that he had just pulled into his arms, wrapped it up in his clothes, and then quickly ran back to the house to hide it.

This made the stupid Ye Chenghu anxious, fearing that if he was a step too late, his share would be sold.

"Wait for me..."

"Are you stupid? Your grandma is just talking casually..."

Ye Chenghu couldn't hear whether what he said was true or false, so he immediately imitated his example, took off his clothes and packed his toys, and then ran back to the house quickly.

"Two silly boys." After Ye Yaodong laughed and cursed, he ignored them. If you don't want to give, then don't give.

Anyway, his eldest and second brothers have bought gifts for their own children, so he doesn't need to worry about them.

It's just that he thinks these toy cars are a bit too much, so if he gives one to each of them, his two boys will still have a lot left over.

But he almost forgot that children are very stingy, and they are not willing to give away the toy they just got. Moreover, it is such an expensive toy car. They have not played with it themselves. They may still play with it when they get tired of it. Be generous.

These children are really happy. They have everything that others don't have, and they are the first among the children in the village.

There are footballs, basketballs, and toy cars. Aguang will also bring the skates over later, too! pull! wind! Got it!

This group of children in their family are already the most handsome in the village, and tomorrow they can be upgraded to the child stars in the village, which is simply too beautiful.

However, I will keep this as a surprise for them, and I will send it to them when Aguang is free. Now they have a toy car, which will make them happy for a long, long time.

"Hey? Didn't you just say there were two dolls? Why is there only one?" Mother Ye asked, pointing to the doll in Ye Xiaoxi's arms.

Ye Xiaoxi thought that Ye's mother had no business selling toy cars, and now she was selling her dolls. She shouted in a sweet voice, "No!"

Ye Yaodong was happy, "I'm not selling you."

"Huh!" She turned her head proudly.

But she was also afraid of being sold by Mother Ye, so she imitated her brothers and ran to her room with her doll in her arms.

She ran and shouted, "Hide...hide..."

Ye Mu was already regarded as a bad person by them, and she looked on speechlessly.

"Each one of these..."

"There is another one for my granddaughter. Aguang happened to see it on the boat and asked for it." Father Ye said while sorting it out.

The old lady sat on the stool and said with a smile: "That's just right, two female dolls and one doll each."

"I think the dolls are all taller than them, they have little butts and everything. I estimate that that doll costs a month's salary of a worker." Ye Mu complained.

"Don't talk nonsense. Anyway, you get it back for free. They are just little things for children to play with. Don't worry about them. There is no need to worry about sorting out these things in the basket later.

"It's nothing anyway. It's just some food. I brought it back to you. You can just divide it up later. Ah Qing will go and calculate the wages first. Chen Shi is still waiting in the yard."

"Okay, I went to get the money right away. As soon as I entered the house, I was interrupted by a few children and I completely forgot about it."

Mother Ye also went to take out all the mooncakes in the basket, muttering as she took them, "You bought too many...most of the basket is filled with mooncakes..."

"Isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival? The streets are full of mooncakes. It just so happens that a boatload of people have worked hard with us for so long and helped us earn so much money. We need some benefits during the festival."

"No one else has it, so you buy so much and send it back..."

"They are other people. I didn't go behind anyone's back when I bought it. They were not willing to spend the money, but we have to be willing. After all, I earn much more than them. Later, I asked them to go into the water to fish for sea urchins."

"Well, since half of us have it, we can't live without the remaining half, so we might as well buy it together, and bring one more to our relatives and friends. It's a specialty anyway, and it coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"As long as you are willing to give up..."

After Ye Mu muttered, she didn't say much.

She had indeed made a lot of money, and most of the people who came with her were relatives, many of whom were her nephews.

Lin Xiuqing came out with the money and a moon cake by the way, "Do you want to take them back with him?"

"No, when I come to work later, I will give them their wages and let them take the mooncakes back. Chen Shi is also tired along the way. There is no need to ask him to deliver them everywhere. They have to come here and let them get them themselves."

"That's okay too."

After letting Chen Shi go back first, Lin Xiuqing asked Ye's mother to help organize things first, and she wanted to continue going back to the house to count the money.

After counting out the wages one by one, she tied them with a rubber band. Everything she counted was in unity, which was more convenient and trouble-free.

Ye Mu also counted the mooncakes she was going to send out one by one.

After the old lady saw that they had almost divided everything, she first packed a large bowl of rice for Ye Yaodong and brought out all the food. After finishing it, she remembered that there was still a father Ye, so she turned around and packed another bowl for him. .

"You two, father and son, have just come back and are starving. Eat first, and your mother can pack these things."

"Let's eat together later."

"It's almost done. We called the children out to eat together. Ah Qing came out after counting the money. It doesn't matter to your mother. She went out to give money and mooncakes this time. She can't come back until the sun goes down."

Mother Ye glanced at the old lady and said nothing. She just moved the number of mooncakes she had calculated to the end of the table and placed them against the wall, freeing up space on the table for her to place food.

"I won't go after dinner? What's there to be anxious about? I'm giving money, not receiving money."

"You said earlier that you would deliver it to others as soon as possible."

"It's not like I'm in such a hurry. I just got home, and the whole family and neighbors are probably gathered around talking. I went over, and I couldn't come back even after the sun went down or even after dark. Everyone had to hold me. say."

Quite self-aware.

Ye Yaodong just looked at his watch, then turned to look at the sunlight outside, which was already shining on the window. He also cursed in his heart, what the old lady said was too conservative.

His mother also said it conservatively.

After earning her so much face today, he felt that she had to sleep before she could step into the house, so it would be better to go out after eating.

"Then let's eat first. Talk about what you want while eating. I've been enjoying myself all day long on the boat. I didn't eat anything. I just ate two pickle cakes."

Father Ye had been hungry for a long time. As soon as the rice arrived, he couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and eat it first.

The old lady also called the children out to eat and packed the food for them.

Ye Mu also called Lin Xiuqing, sat down to eat first, and chatted while eating.
