Chapter 941 Doing Good Deeds (7200 Words)

Ye Yaodong drank a large bowl of chicken soup until Lin Xiuqing came back with a washbasin.

"The stew is ready so quickly and you've already eaten it? I was still thinking that you were going to settle accounts and wouldn't come back soon, so I thought about washing the dirty clothes first. Your clothes are very dirty. I guess in the past two months, you They haven’t been cleaned yet.”

"How can I, an old man, know how to wash clothes? Just rinse it in water and give it a few taps with a stick."

"No wonder it's so dirty. Didn't dad come back? Then I'll bring him the chicken, and you guys went out in a hurry. I forgot to tell you that I was going to kill a chicken."

"Originally I wanted to stew them first in the afternoon, but the chickens were running around everywhere and it was difficult to catch them. I had to wait until they came back to the cage in the evening to catch them and stew them."

Lin Xiuqing came in with the clothes and took a look, then went to the door, planning to hang the clothes to dry first.

"Don't be busy yet. Leave those clothes for now. I just did the calculation. You can put the money away first."

She wiped it, touched her wet hands on her clothes, and asked with a smile, "How much money can I get from Uncle Pei?"

"More than five thousand one hundred. I just took a shower and changed into my trousers pockets. Go check them out."

"How could you just throw such a huge amount of money into your dirty clothes pocket? You didn't know how to take it out and put it in the room first. It's really too much money. It doesn't matter, just leave it like this..." Lin Xiuqing cursed a few words, Quickly look for the pants he threw on the ground.

"At home, I didn't throw it outside, and when I came back, grandma either filled me with hot water for a bath or chicken soup for me to eat. I didn't have time to take the money back to the room and wait for you to come back. It’s nothing.”

"You just have too much money, so you don't worry about it."

"If you say that, I can't help it. It's actually true."

"You just have to do it."

Ye Yaodong put one foot up on the stool and picked his teeth with a toothpick, feeling very proud, but he said, "Hey, don't empty your pockets. I'll give you the whole amount, and give me the change. I'll put it on the table in the room later."

"8 yuan?"

"Who gave you 8 yuan?" Ye Yaodong almost choked with anger, "It's 138. You take the whole amount of five thousand and give me the fraction 138."

"138 is still called a fraction?"

"Of course it's a fraction!"

"I think eight yuan is a lot."

"Don't go too far..." Ye Yaodong couldn't sit still, and hurried forward and squatted beside her, "I have worked so hard, is it not too much to leave me one hundred and thirty-eight pocket dollars?"

"Didn't you spend everything you should have spent before you came back? What other expenses do you need to keep in your pocket? There are so many."

"Then I, a grown man, can't have no money in my pocket, so you should treat me as a reward!"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at the shameless man and said, "I will reward you with 38 yuan. How can one hundred yuan be considered as fraction? Eight yuan is not considered as fraction."

"Okay, 38 is 38, let the three brothers make it together."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but pause while counting money, turned around and asked in a low voice: "Hey, tell me, the eldest brother and the second brother have made so much this trip, will he want to book a boat by himself? No Are you partnering with us?"

"That's great. The whole family is prospering, one boat after another. My father and mother should be laughing so hard."

"Are you serious?"

"Everyone does his or her own thing, and there is no need to go through the trouble of joining together. I can just give the boat to someone else, and I can get half of it. I don't have to share the expenses equally. It's not much different than sharing one-third of their two boats."

Lin Xiuqing originally only thought of this temporarily and asked casually. She didn't expect him to think like this, but thinking about it, it seemed that it would not cause any loss to their family.

After deducting the expenses, the net profit of the two ships is divided into one-third and half of the net profit from one ship. The expenses are borne by the boss of the ship. It is difficult to guarantee who will have more and who will have less.

"Then the eldest brother and the second brother need to discuss dividing dad's boat first. Our boat is easier, just return it to us. Anyway, there is nothing to settle, and today's account has been settled."

"Don't think too much. What plans they have will be a few days away. They won't mention it now. They will definitely go to the factory first to see if there is any stock. If not, how long will it take to order a ship? This is also their decision. Should you consider it well?”

Lin Xiuqing nodded and didn't worry about other people's affairs. "I'll just talk casually. I'll collect the money first, and we'll calculate the general ledger later in the evening."

"Remember to put my 38 yuan on the table for me."

"knew."

Ye Yaodong turned to the old lady and said, "Put the chicken soup you want to send to dad, and I'll go in and get dressed."

"Hey, okay, don't worry, I'll go dry the clothes first, you take your time."

He directly followed Lin Xiuqing into the house. After watching her lock the money in the cabinet, she returned to the table and took notes with pen and paper. He followed her step by step.

He put his hands on the table, hugged her, kept his chest close to her back, and rested his head on her shoulders.

"How much is the total?"

"I haven't calculated it yet. Anyway, every time you send something back, I write it down in the book. I also write down the previous labor expenses in the book. I haven't summed it up yet. After I finish drying the clothes, I will go back to the house and do the calculation. If you If you are free, you can do the math first?"

Ye Yaodong hugged her waist tightly and licked the back of her fair neck, "Just settle the account. The old lady has already gone to dry your clothes. You don't need to go out. Just settle the account."

Lin Xiuqing felt her shoulders were a little itchy, so she dodged for a moment and said angrily: "Oh, do you want me to settle the score or do you want me to do something?"

"Everything! It's yours, I'll do mine."

"To be more serious, I'll do the math first and then come back after I go to bed at night."

"Think of it as yours, leave me alone, I can take care of myself."

"Nervous, what about taking care of yourself? Go and sit on the bed, and I will check your accounts for you."

Yes, yes, he was thirsty to death. At this moment, the beast was in his head, and he was not in the mood to reconcile. He was completely exhausted.

If you don't lower the fire, you won't be in the mood to care about anything else.

"If you can't settle the accounts, then you can do it later. Let's finish our work first."

Lin Xiuqing was helpless as he moved his hand up and down, and rubbed it back and forth.

"Are you so anxious?"

"Of course I'm anxious. Two months, what do you mean two months? I've been a virgin for two months, do you know? The raging fire needs to be extinguished right now, otherwise the house will burn down."

"Talking nonsense... just talking nonsense all day long..."

Lin Xiuqing also felt bad that he had been out for two months, so she just let him go and let him do whatever he wanted.

Now that Ye Yaodong was pregnant with Wenxiang Nephew, he couldn't care less about delivering chicken soup to his father.

Let his father wait. Anyway, he will give it to him when he is done with his work. Some food will be good.

The couple tried to keep their voices as low as possible. The old lady was still outside and the people next door were not asleep. If there was too much movement, it would be too embarrassing.

Although most people know it well, the couple can't help but be tender when they first come back.

The couple worked rustlingly for a long time before they separated. One went back to the bed and lay down in a big shape, and the other took care of himself.

"call……"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, cleaned herself up, put on her clothes, and sat down again to settle accounts.

"Your first remittance was six thousand, right..."

"Really, you can figure it out yourself. I've remitted it so many times that I've forgotten how much I remitted? You just have to remember it anyway, don't ask me."

"Don't I want to check with you? It's been a long time since I forgot about it, so I must have remembered it correctly."

"Yeah." Ye Yaodong responded perfunctorily.

Lin Xiuqing saw how lazy he was, so she stopped asking him and took care of herself.

Ye Yaodong lay there, originally wanting to take a breather and wait until the accounts were settled before he got up and put on his clothes and trousers to go out, but his father's chicken soup hadn't been delivered yet.

Who would have thought that while I was lying there, listening to the noise outside, I would actually fall asleep and even purr.

Lin Xiuqing just turned her head and glanced at him, and was about to settle her own score. After finishing the calculation, she went to help him put on his pants.

Ye Yaodong also cooperated in a daze and pulled up his pants, and asked vaguely: "Is it settled?"

"Forget it."

"How much money have I earned in total?" After asking, he became more awake and sat up. "Hmm~ I'm so sleepy. I feel very relaxed and sleepy after I get home."

"You can go to sleep, there will be nothing to do next anyway." After saying that, she also picked up the account book and read it to him.

"The money you remitted includes the money for sea urchins and the money for Uncle Pei's delivery. After deducting the fuel and labor costs, the total for the two ships is 37,320. The eldest brother and the second brother shared 8,122, and Uncle Pei shared it. 5138…”

"Of the 5138 that Uncle Pei has, 618 are trawled by big ships."

"Oh, then I'm considered a fool, so I have to subtract 618, so we earned 49,962 in this period."

Ye Yaodong instantly became energetic and no longer sleepy.

"That's a lot, that's 50,000 yuan! The day before I came back, I gave dad 200 yuan, and I also bought some odds and ends of these things as gifts, which cost about a hundred yuan."

"Buy so much," Lin Xiuqing muttered and then changed the subject, "Originally I wanted to ask you if you should give dad a red envelope. Since you have already given him two hundred yuan, I don't need to give dad any more red envelopes. .”

"No need to give it, that is just another red envelope for dad to buy things for him."

Lin Xiuqing climbed onto the bed next to him with a smile on her face, "You really made a lot of money this time. Is there really so much stuff in the trench? What about next year?"

"Don't worry about it next year. It will definitely not be as good as this year. It's good to cut it in half. It may not even be half, or maybe only a quarter to ten thousand. You'd better go to the sea and look for it piecemeal. have."

"If it's more than 10,000, then most of it must have been earned by fishing for sea urchins."

"Is it so different?" Lin Xiuqing was surprised and unsure.

Ye Yaodong explained to her the reason why he could earn so much this year, and also based on this year's market conditions, at least twice as many people would follow him next year.

Not only from their village, but also from surrounding villages with relatives in their village, and some from the town. He estimated that it would be twice as many as he thought conservatively.

"It's definitely not going to work well next year."

"Fortunately, we made all the money this year. If we make less next year, we will make less. Plus, we can go into the water and catch sea urchins, so we can still make a lot of money. .”

"Well, that's what I'm saying. But for a small boat, staying there for a month or two is better than trawling at home. After all, it's the flood season, so it's better than the worst."

"We are also very lucky this year. Everything went smoothly. We were not delayed by a big typhoon. The passage of a small typhoon also affected us, and it passed in two or three days. This year is really a good year, with good things happening one after another."

Ye Yaodong also agreed very much. This year is a good year for their family.

The big things in the house are coming one after another, the money is getting more and more, everything goes smoothly, and even unexpected things are surprises.

He hugged Ah Qing and kissed her hard, "These days are becoming more and more beautiful as time goes by."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and hugged him, "Yeah, I couldn't even imagine the life I'm living now. I didn't expect that we could live so well. It feels like a dream. I have to wake up laughing in the dream."

"This is not a dream, this is really happening."

If this was a dream, he hoped he would never wake up.

"Of course, hehe, if you are tired, go back to sleep. I will go out and take a look, and call a few children back to drink chicken soup. They have been playing crazy every night, so noisy, and they are still making noise at night."

"I have to get up too. The old lady asked me to deliver a bowl of chicken soup to my hometown."

"It's troublesome to carry it around. Just go and ask your parents to come over and eat together."

"That's okay too."

"I'll just call you. I'm free anyway. You can go to sleep. You're exhausted too."

"I can't sleep due to this interruption."

The couple got out of bed together, Lin Xiuqing went out first, and Ye Yaodong still needed to get dressed, so he lagged behind.

The old lady saw the two people coming out one after another, and quickly stood up from the TV, ready to scoop a bowl of chicken soup.

"Have you finished settling the accounts? I'll serve the chicken soup."

"No, I'll just ride over and call my parents over to eat."

"oh."

Lin Xiuqing went to the door to see that her clothes had been dried, so she followed Ye Yaodong out and brought back the three monkeys who were playing in the open space next door.

However, those three people got excited and asked them to drink chicken soup and eat chicken, but they couldn't be moved, and all of them shouted that they wouldn't eat.

Once upon a time, when everyone ate chicken, they wanted to bite the bones into pieces and swallow them, but now it doesn't attract them at all. This shows how good the food is now and how happy the life is.

He didn’t even eat chicken!

What kind of wasteful thing?

Lin Xiuqing plucked Ye Chenghu's ears and said, "If you don't eat meat, go back and drink a bowl of chicken soup for me before you come out. It's been so noisy all day, so you need to eat something to gain strength."

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts. I'll go right away. Let go... let go..."

"I don't even like to eat chicken. It seems that my life has been too good recently. I'd better let you eat fast with your wife to cleanse your stomach."

"Mom, I love eating chicken and drinking chicken soup. I'm going to go now." Ye Chengyang knew how to adapt to the changing circumstances at a young age, and those who understand current affairs are heroes.

But Ye Chenghu was so angry that he stared at him, thinking that he was too good at being good.

Ye Xiaoxi held the baby in her arms, looked at his mother and the pitiful Ye Chenghu, and then looked at Ye Chengyang who was running home. She decisively followed Ye Chengyang with a very discerning eye.

Seeing them all running home, Lin Xiuqing let go of Ye Chenghu, "Hurry up and go home. Let's play after eating."

"I know, just wait for me. I'll go back and drink some chicken soup and I'll be out soon."

Being stared at by them eagerly, he didn't forget to turn around and tell his friends.

But when he turned around and saw his mother's eyes, he immediately ran home.

On the big day, his mother didn’t know how to give him any face.

When they finished eating as if they were fighting and ran out, Ye's father arrived belatedly, but Ye's mother could not be seen at all.

"I don't know whose house your mother went to. I didn't see her when I came home, and she didn't turn on the lights in the house. I guess she didn't go home after eating here and delivering moon cakes. I don't know now. Whose house is it at?"

"You haven't delivered the mooncakes and wages for so long?" Lin Xiuqing was speechless.

"Don't worry about her. She has nothing to do at home all day. Don't ask her to eat. She will come back naturally when she goes to bed."

However, after Ye's father had almost eaten, Ye's mother came over with a straight face. To their surprise, she didn't really wait until bedtime to come back.

"You old fool, next time you handle your brother's affairs yourself. You almost made me angry to death, so shameless."

Father Ye was confused, "What's wrong? I took explosives, okay, did I mess with you?"

Mother Ye glared at him fiercely, "You have offended me everywhere. What's your last name, Ye?"

"Ah, my surname is not Ye, what can I say? I am my biological child."

Ye Mu became even more angry and slapped him twice.

"Next time, don't ask your eldest nephew to work. Your sister-in-law is really nothing. She is a perfect match if she is not a member of the same family."

"What happened? What did they say again?"

"I kindly gave them moon cakes and 180 yuan of wages, but they still found it too little. After all, they are all nephews, how can they be the same as outsiders? I won't say too much, but it is appropriate to give double portions, right? ?”

"Who gave her face? I'm not asking for a favor, but I'm asking for double portions for her son? Does she have a big face? Or does her son have four hands?"

"Also, I said that I will build a boat for Afan next year and let him follow you, so that you can help him more. He also said that Dongzi has earned tens of thousands this year, so why not lend him some money and let him go with you next year? I’ll pay it back with interest, and if I earn more, I can pay some money back to Ah Peng and Ah Hua.”

"What do you mean by this, we need to lend him money to make money so that he can make money and pay it back to Ah Peng and Ah Hua?"

"What a beautiful thought? You are really good at calculating, spinning around, all around you three brothers, do we deserve to have money? Why should I give him money to make money? Isn't it good for me to keep it for myself? ?The brain is so funny, a dog can’t change from eating shit.”

"What else are you talking about? If you can't write two leaves in one stroke, how can a family have an overnight feud? Those who should help their nephews and brothers must help them. They don't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue they have."

"After he sprayed me, he said, the richer we get, the stingier we become. After your grandfather is gone, we don't even have any personal touch."

"What a ghost of human kindness. I came back immediately with the basket and didn't talk nonsense to her. I didn't give her the mooncakes either. I took them back again to save the mooncakes."

"Fortunately, I went to their house last because I knew your sister-in-law would say some disgusting things about me."

"If I go to their house first, how can I be in the mood to go to other people's houses? I was in a good mood and happy, but now I feel disgusted. Why do I become more frustrated and courageous? I'm disgusted when I go to the house, but I can still think about it. She’s so beautiful, and even at that age, I don’t know where my brain will grow.”

Ye Yaodong said calmly: "What's there to be angry about? Auntie, isn't she always like this? She only listens to what she wants to hear and only keeps what she wants in her mind. Just don't take her words seriously."

Lin Xiuqing also put a bowl of chicken soup in front of Ye Mu, "Mom, eat the bowl of chicken soup while it's hot first, and then you'll have the energy to curse after eating."

"I'm too lazy to scold them. I won't go to their house next time."

"Mom, are you quite early today? In such a short time, you can almost give me gifts?" Ye Yaodong changed the subject.

He wasn't angry at all. Who didn't have a few top-notch relatives? Anyway, it was just not his own family, so it wouldn't affect his life.

Brother Affan is also quite active and hardworking in his work, and it does not affect his ability to make money.

"Just give me mooncakes and a salary. How long will it take? Some of us who are familiar with each other will chat for a while. If we are not familiar with each other, we will put down our mooncakes, say hello and leave first."

"In some of their homes, a bunch of people were sitting together, talking about what happened in Zhejiang Province? I was too embarrassed to stay long."

"When I got home and saw no one in the house, I thought I'd come over and see if your dad was still here, and bring back the extra mooncakes for you."

No wonder he came back so early.

Ye Yaodong looked at the remaining mooncakes in the basket, and his mother was quite petty.

I gave it away and took it back again without any loss.

If you disgust me, I won’t give you anything.

"Then leave it. When I go to the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can bring a few more cakes to my father-in-law and the others."

"Hey, it's good for my in-laws, I can't take advantage of you."

Ye Yaodong bought enough mooncakes, and he actually prepared them for some people in the village, who would have to send them over later, such as the village chief, Secretary Chen, and Lin Jishang. Fatty also bought them for him, and he didn't know he was there. Not at home, how is the breakfast business during this time?

He patted the table, and when he thought of the breakfast business, he thought of his brother-in-law.

"School isn't starting anymore. Have Ayuan and the others come back? Are they going to school? Can your shop in the market be open?"

"Sister-in-law originally thought that A Yuan didn't like studying anyway and his grades were not good, so she would let him stay in the city to help instead of studying. But A Yuanfei said that you kept asking him to study, and he agreed to it. , gotta do it.”

"Then my father also objected, so my sister-in-law had to let the three children go back to school. The store was too busy, so there was nothing we could do. Anyway, their craftsmanship was good and the customers were willing to wait."

"Then it's better to study. If you want to work, there will be more opportunities in the future, but are you worried about not having a job in the future?"

"Yes, there are many people who want to study but have not yet done so. Now that they have the opportunity to study, they must cherish it."

Mother Ye also interjected: "Isn't it? This month we went to several families in nearby villages to persuade them to read to their children."

Ye Yaodong was curious, "Is it because parents won't let their children go to school after school starts on September 1st?"

"Yes, it's enough to just know a few words. We don't let them go to school. We have to keep them working at home, especially the little girls."

"Some students who have good grades have teachers go to their homes to persuade them, but some parents say that they don't have money, or that a girl will get married in a few years, so there is no need to study too much and they should be left to work at home. , or looking at younger siblings.”

"It looked quite pitiful. Those little girls burst into tears, but their parents were so cruel that they wouldn't let them go."

"The teacher has no choice but to persuade us to contact our Women's Federation. There are several small villages nearby that are under the jurisdiction of our village, and we have also visited them."

"You should study. If you can support yourself, you still have to study."

After Ye's mother knew a few words, and under the influence of the public, she also particularly supported her children's study, and would not think that it was useless for girls to study.

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and asked Lin Xiuqing, "My second aunt's cousin said that her child had no money to go to school, so she came to borrow money a month in advance. Did you lend her money before school started?"

"I borrowed it. I said my child has no money to study. How can I not borrow it? What's more, the tuition fee is only one and a half yuan, and the three children are only four and a half yuan. In fact, it is not that difficult for her. She just thinks that our family has money now, so she just wants to Come and borrow it."

"It's really difficult for some families who live in the mountains. They can only rely on farming a little land to earn what the land produces all year round. In the past few years, some had many babies, and the family was full of food."

Ye Yaodong understood, and said to his mother: "Mom, you are familiar with all the villages in the world. Go to the homes of the families you mediated before and tell them that if their children want to study and their families are in trouble, I will pay for their tuition. Just treat it as a good deed. , sponsor these children, and don’t lose the opportunity to study just because your family is poor. Children who love studying these days have good grades, and they may have great prospects in the future.”

"Huh? You give them money? Are you kidding me? I have a lot of children at home."

Others also looked at Ye Yaodong in surprise.

"It doesn't cost much. Isn't the tuition only one and a half yuan? If I sponsor ten children, it only costs fifteen yuan a semester or thirty yuan a year. I don't want to support them. I only need to pay their tuition fees. Their family doesn’t need to pay for it, and I believe their parents would be happy to do it.”

Ye's mother thought about it and felt that the money was not much, and they didn't need to support them anyway, so she sponsored the tuition so that these children could study.

Dongzi earned tens of thousands during this trip, and he used dozens of dollars a year to pay for his children's tuition to earn merit and buy reputation.

"That's fine. It's good to have a good reputation by doing good deeds."

The old lady grabbed Ye Yaodong's hand directly, "You still have a good heart. It's a good thing to help those children go to school, and it doesn't cost much. It should be, it should be."

Father Ye also nodded, "That's okay too. When the time comes, everyone who talks about you will give a thumbs up."

Lin Xiuqing was a little worried, "If this happens, will every parent imitate this example and deliberately prevent their children from going to school and ask us to pay for it?"

"Don't worry about this. We can find teachers after school starts to see which students are less likely to come this semester and ask about their grades. Those with good grades and those who love to study. If their parents don't let them go, we can sponsor and support them. Those with poor grades will If they don’t like studying in the first place, then why should we sponsor them? They can get what they want, and they can farm and herd sheep at home.”

Mother Ye nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's what it has to be, otherwise everyone will think that our money was brought by the strong wind, and they deliberately refused to send their children to school and begged us."

"So Mom, let me ask. Maybe there were people who had good grades in the past years and were forced to drop out of school. We can also support them and let them go back to school. If their parents are not willing, they can come more often to do ideological work. Anyway, just do it. , just pass the school certificate.”

"OK."

Ye Yaodong is worried about such a large amount of money, how to spend it?

Just give me a pillow when you feel sleepy. Spend a little money to do some good deeds and buy a good reputation first.

I almost fell asleep while writing several times, my eyelids kept fighting, and I insisted on finishing it. I was afraid that many readers were still waiting, and I was afraid that you would be disappointed. Now I have finished it. Go to bed, good night.
