Chapter 1002: In Order to Make a Circle (7000 Words)

"Let me tell you, the masses are very sharp-eyed, and what they boast is based on facts. Otherwise, why don't they brag about others but me?"

"Don't stop me from washing the dishes. If you have anything to do, wait until I finish washing the dishes and tidying up the stove."

"I can wash it too."

Lin Xiuqing handed him the rag directly.

Ye Yaodong looked at the rag and blinked twice, then specifically added: "As long as you agree to my purchase of fresh boats..."

She raised her butt and pushed him to the side, "As you go, there will be one mouth coming out every day, and only one mouth will be powerful."

"If I don't have a good mouth, how can I make you happy?"

"Put it down, my son secretly told me this afternoon that you smiled happily and attentively to the female teacher, and the female teacher even gave him a handful of candies."

"Fuck, this damn kid, don't catch me later, beat him to death for spreading false news. The teacher gave him a book, why don't I take it with both hands and say thank you? I only gave him two pills. It's candy, but when it reaches you, it turns into a handful of candy. This is nonsense, nonsense!"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said nothing. She planned to finish the work at hand first and then talk to him about the ship.

Is she so idle that it hurts? No matter who he smiled at, the financial power was in her hands anyway, and he could only use a few of them to buy cigarettes.

"Honey, let's get back to business and talk about the boat. The kids will talk to you later... I think it's really feasible to order fresh boats..."

Ye Yaodong kept pouring all his previous thoughts into her, and he spoke clearly and logically.

"Let's order one now. If we're lucky, we can get it in a year or two. Otherwise, if we go to the shipyard in the city and ask, it might be faster than the boat of our three brothers. Or if we have the spare capacity, we can get it more It’s okay to order two, and then the fresh boat collector will exclusively serve our own boat, so we can make a profit without losing money, and we don’t have to look for a docking trawler.”

Lin Xiuqing listened quietly at first, and was somewhat convinced, but after hearing that, he kept talking more and more, and wanted to order two more?

"Are you going to take such a big step? Ordering one item is already a big deal, but you actually want to order two more? There are still seven items at home that haven't paid the balance yet, and you haven't even connected them yet, and you want something else. Forgetting one, you still want three? Do you really think our family is a landlord?"

"Isn't this just trying to strike while the iron is hot? If you build a fresh-harvest ship to dock with three ships, although you can keep all the groceries and you will definitely not lose money, you will definitely not make as much as if you docked with five ships..."

"Only one, not three. You can't just look at tens of thousands of dollars and just want to use them all. If you really order three, we won't even have enough money on hand to pay the final payment."

"We can't just think about paying a deposit all day long. Nothing is guaranteed to make a profit. We all have to reserve some space for ourselves. We can't just block one road. We have to eat one bite at a time, and we have to walk step by step. One step at a time." Lin Xiuqing put down the bowl and said seriously.

Ye Yaodong looked embarrassed, "Aren't you just trying to earn more? Time costs are also costs. If we decide now, we will be rich in two years. If we wait until we see the results, we don't know when we will get there. ”

"It's not like we won't make any money if it's too late. Let's make an order first. Let's go out on the sea a few more times ourselves and calculate it in our minds a few times. This way, if we think it's not feasible again, we can still make changes at the last minute. What are you doing? It’s just a trip to the sea, and I haven’t seen enough yet. If it works, I’ll order two more, or wait until we have more money.”

"Okay, let's wait until we have more time to rest in a few days. We will go to the factory to take a look and make an agreement first."

Lin Xiuqing relaxed, nodded, and then continued to put away the bowls and the stove.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around, Ye Yaodong smiled as if his plot had succeeded.

I heard that when you want to achieve a goal, try to be as high and ambitious as possible. If you are blocked in every possible way and strongly opposed, you can lower your goal. After the other party has compared it, they will easily accept it.

It really works.

"It's better to be my wife."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you have time, go to the door and look after the children. Don't let them roll around on the ground all day. I wash their clothes every day. I have to wash them out. They are so dirty. The water is freezing in the winter. .”

"I'll buy you a washing machine later, so you don't have to wash it yourself, and you don't have to worry about your hands getting cold in the winter and getting frostbite."

Lin Xiuqing looked down at her hands that were red and swollen from washing the quilt for a week in a row, "Forget it, just wash it yourself. The washing machine is so expensive, it costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars. What can't you do with that money? It’s just a matter of washing clothes, what’s the problem? TVs are not that expensive and are not practical at all.”

"Is something good? It's not about comparing it with other things. It's not the same thing. How do you compare it? What's more, the value of a thing is not about its value, but the use it can bring to people."

"The functions of this washing machine are no worse than those of a television. At least you will suffer less. You don't have to squat there all day long to wash clothes, and your hands will rot."

"And it can also save time. For children who wet the bed, they pee every day. You wash the quilt every day. If there is a washing machine, you don't have to scrub and wash it all day long. You can just throw it into the washing machine and pour two buckets yourself. Once the water goes in, won't it be over? Don't keep doing it there and keep watching."

"What can you do if you save more time? You can go to the workshop and work for an extra hour, or just lie there and rest. Isn't it nice?"

Although washing machines are not cheap nowadays, they are of good quality and can be used for millenniums. It doesn’t matter if they are not fully automatic. Someone now picks the water at home. You only need to pour two buckets of water into it and you can machine wash it. It is quite convenient.

After her heart skipped a beat, she shook her head decisively, "I still don't want it. It's too expensive. It's just for washing clothes. Which woman doesn't wash clothes? This is how everyone comes here."

"Don't buy a washing machine. It's a waste of money. If you have this money, you can save it and wait for the final payment to deliver one more boat."

"You have to spend your money wisely and buy necessities. This is not necessary. Don't think about it. It's just a little troublesome to wash the quilt in winter, but it saves a lot of trouble at other times."

Ye Yaodong touched her cold hands. When he was clearly washing the dishes, he saw her scooping hot water out of the small round hole on the stove and washing them.

But when I finally cleaned up the stove, my hands were cold again, and probably because of frostbite, my fingers were almost as swollen as the king of kings, red and thick.

"For example, a washing machine costs 1,000 yuan. If you use it for ten years, it will cost you 100 yuan a year, or 8 yuan a month. If you use it for more than ten years, wouldn't the monthly cost be lower? How many yuan a month? We can’t afford the money?”

"That's not how it is calculated... Don't think blindly and mislead me. We still have plenty of places to spend money. We can't just buy this or that just because we have tens of thousands of dollars. Don't spend money randomly when it's not necessary."

She took her hand away and said, "I'll just go in and apply some clam oil on it."

Ye Yaodong quickly followed her and followed her into the house.

"You woman, why don't you listen? I want to spend money on you, but you are reluctant to part with this or that, then who can I spend the money I earn?"

"You earn money to make your family's life better and better. You don't have to spend it on me. I don't want that washing machine."

"You were like this when I bought the TV. When I bought the TV back, you watched it more fiercely than anyone else."

Lin Xiuqing turned around and glared at him, "Why don't you buy it and look at it?"

Do you need to buy it and use it?

Ye Yaodong was thinking that he should kill first and then play later?

If he had known that he had made so much money on this trip, he should have underreported it by a thousand yuan. He couldn't tell it anyway, and there were no other ships to join him. Whatever he made was his own, and it was all his word. He said he made money. How much you earn is how much you earn.

Next, it seems that I have to skimp a little, and then find Lin Jishang to buy a washing machine.

"Huh? It's said that Lin Ji hasn't seen anyone in the village since he came here last year. Have you seen him?"

"No, I haven't been wandering around the village all day long. Why do you ask? Are you going to kill me first and then tell me the story again?"

"No, when you mentioned the TV, I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen him for a while. He said before that he would think about it first, and then asked me to cover for him. He would sell me dried fish for a few days. , it’s been a month since you’ve seen anyone, right?”

"Why do you care about others? Without him, wouldn't our dried fish sales be quite good?"

"Well, I just remembered it, so I just wanted to ask."

It’s better to save some money first.

Alas, my daughter-in-law is too sensible and makes things difficult for me.

Lin Xiuqing ignored him. After closing the lid of the clam, she rubbed her hands back and forth and walked out of the house.

Ye Yaodong immediately opened his hands and stopped in front of her, "Why are you going?"

"Look where the child is, what else can I do? Can I still find my mistress?" Lin Xiuqing slapped him twice angrily, but he immediately hugged her.

"Okay, you have really learned bad things from those women, and now you are talking about being a concubine. Let me check if you have any concubines at home these days when I am not at home."

"Check your height, go away, don't make trouble, the three children will run back later."

She smiled, patted his arm, and tilted her head to avoid the delicate kisses he placed on her cheeks.

"Your son will not come in..."

"It's hard to tell. You just rushed in and pushed the door open, and the top was dusty. You don't want your son to see your naked butt, do you?"

"Fuck! I'm going to lock the door."

"Then they will definitely keep filming until we open the door. The noise will definitely be loud and can be heard next door. Are you embarrassed?"

Ye Yaodong thought that his two sons sometimes were very persistent in calling their mother, and they had to call until she responded. If she didn't, they would keep calling, and the calls would get louder and louder.

Thinking that if they shouted like this at the critical moment, he would definitely wither.

Lin Xiuqing could easily break free if she slapped him again.

Ye Yaodong also followed her out with a sigh on his face.

"My mind has been filled with that kind of stuff all day long..."

"If young people don't do that kind of thing, why don't they do it again when they get older and can't do it anymore?"

"Keep your voice down."

He snorted softly from his nose, his face full of desire and dissatisfaction.

Lin Xiuqing ignored him and went out directly to find out what the children were doing. After watching them play honestly, she gave a few instructions and went to the workshop for a walk.

After the sun went down, the workshop stopped working, leaving only the two boys on shift and two or three dogs watching.

It would be time to go to sleep again later, so she worriedly wanted to come out and take a look. Ye Yaodong had been following her, too.

Wherever she goes, he follows.

She looked through the remaining goods, and he followed her; she looked at the dried fish, and he touched them; she went to the next door, and he followed her.

After going around in a circle and returning home, he followed him home and took his two sons who were having fun home together.

"I'm going to study tomorrow, you know? Are you still playing here? Come home early and go to bed."

"It's still early, dad. It hasn't been long since we just finished eating."

"It's getting dark, you know? When we get home, you two will have to roll around on the bed for a while, so come back quickly. And Ye Chenghu, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, what are you doing with your false accusation?"

Ye Chenghu immediately pulled Ye Chengyang and ran home in despair.

Only then did he happily pick up Ye Xiaoxi and go home.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing entered the door, she saw everyone behind her going home. When she saw Ye Yaodong, who was left behind, she knew it well and did not expose him.

"Tomorrow is the first day of school. Go to bed early at night and get up early tomorrow. Then ask my wife to boil two eggs for you. I also bought a piece of cake for you to eat tomorrow morning."

Ye Chenghu immediately agreed happily, and then pulled Ye Chengyang and ran upstairs quickly.

"I'll go to bed right away."

Although my family's conditions are better now, I don't want to eat pastries. I will have pastries to eat immediately.

Ye Yaodong also handed the child in his hand to Lin Xiuqing, "You soak her in malted milk and put her to sleep. I'll close the doors and windows and check if the dogs are back."

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look before taking the child and placing her on a stool to sit on.

After he finished checking inside and outside, locked the door and turned off the lights and returned to the house, the house was also dark.

He quietly locked the door and took off his clothes, then crept onto the bed, trying to see if the child was asleep, but she also stared at him with her big round eyes.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

She blinked twice without saying a word, and then raised a red doll lying side by side next to her to show him.

When the red doll was lifted up, its dark eyes opened instantly, almost frightening him out of his wits and causing him to recoil in shock.

This doll originally looked a bit weird, with its two red faces, it looked weird to him, but it turned out to be the most fashionable and expensive doll nowadays.

He thought it was quite scary when he looked at it during the day. It was even scarier when it was suddenly in front of him at night and his eyes suddenly opened.

Seeing that he was frightened, Ye Xiaoxi thought it was funny. She giggled loudly and sat up happily. She deliberately raised the doll in front of him to scare him.

"Look...look...cluck...look...look..."

Lin Xiuqing quickly hugged her back to the bed, "Wrap her up, otherwise she will get cold. If you catch a cold, you will need an injection. Are you afraid? Stop playing."

"Fun~coward~bite you~bite you~"

Lin Xiuqing took the doll from her and stuffed it into the bed. Then she lay down again and hugged the doll, "Hurry up and sleep."

"I'm getting more and more naughty, I'm going to beat him..." Ye Yaodong returned to his position and lay down depressedly.

"Hit you~"

"Beat you!"

"Hit you~"

"Okay, don't you want her to sleep? Are you going to argue with her and make trouble with her?"

Ye Yaodong immediately shut up, leaned forward, and grabbed a handful hard, letting his dirty hands feel good first.

"Hiss~ What are you doing~ It's so cold~"

After feeling disgusted for a moment, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it through his clothes to warm it first.

"Hurry up and put your daughter to sleep."

"Don't talk."

He closed his eyes and waited for the child to fall asleep while playing, while he also pondered for a while.

I just waited and waited for a long time, but no one responded, but there were constant tapping sounds.

"Is the child asleep?"

"not yet."

It doesn't matter, anyway, he plays with his, raising and lowering his hands without any influence.

When he couldn't hold it any longer, he asked again: "Is the child asleep?"

"No."

He himself raised his head and took a look, and his black eyes were almost as big as a copper bell.

"Close your eyes and go to sleep."

She immediately wanted to take out the doll from the bed again, but Lin Xiuqing stopped her in time, "Don't move around, close your eyes and sleep."

In an instant, she obediently closed her eyes again.

Ye Yaodong could only helplessly rub and rub, while Lin Xiuqing passively acquiesced and cooperated secretly under the quilt.

After he succeeded, he was not satisfied with the small range and continued to ask in a low voice.

"Is the child asleep?"

This time it was Ye Xiaoxi's soft childish voice that came out, "No!"

"Why don't you go to sleep!" Ye Yaodong was a little angry.

"don't want!"

Lin Xiuqing also resisted answering: "She took a nap in the afternoon. How could you let her sleep so early?"

"then what do I do?"

"That's it."

Ye Xiaoxi stared at the two heads beside him and asked softly: "What are you doing?"

"Nothing to do, you go to sleep and close your eyes."

Since the couple returned to the house, the most common thing they said was to close their eyes.

Ye Xiaoxi also closed her eyes obediently. She couldn't fall asleep at all. She lay there obediently for a while and then got into the bed to play.

Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to distract her first.

Fortunately, the child is still young and doesn't understand anything, so the couple can be so unscrupulous.

Ye Yaodong was busy for a while before he finished, but Ye Xiaoxi didn't sleep at all. He was still tossing and kicking his legs and playing without any sense of cooperation.

The two of them didn't dare to move at all and could only continue to be stuck there helplessly.

"Is the child asleep?"

Lin Xiuqing moved her head closer to take a look. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxi suddenly lifted the quilt and screamed, then giggled and shouted: "No!"

"I'll choke you!"

"You've been lying down for a long time, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

"Don't sleep."

"Your ancestor!"

"Um!"

"You are really good at torturing people. Your father is leaving tomorrow night, do you know?"

Ye Yaodong cursed a few more words in a low voice in the local dialect, and then he could only turn sideways and search for a handkerchief in the dark.

Lin Xiuqing pushed the child back into bed again and could only continue to coax her.

The couple couldn't wait any longer and secretly did bad things. Now that they've done it, they can only hold it in for now.

Another hour passed, and the couple kept repeating the same content while asking and answering questions, sometimes mixed with Ye Xiaoxi's voice, and finally managed to get her to fall asleep.

"Damn! I finally slept!"

"You're not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? You have to do it all night long when the child is awake."

"I can't hold it in any longer. It's almost full. What can I do?"

"Hurry up and let me get up first..."

"Did it flow out?"

Lin Xiuqing slapped him hard twice.

"It hurts..."

"Shut up, you'll wake the kid up again later."

"Wring out a towel for me, I've been searching for a long time and couldn't find the handkerchief."

"Can your handkerchief be used to wipe your mouth and sniff your nose?"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"You don't have to remind me."

He has used it many times. At most, he throws it to her to wash. After washing, he continues to use it. He wipes his hands when it is time to wipe his hands, wipes his mouth when it is time to wipe his mouth, and wipes his nose when it is time to wipe his nose.

Who knows, there is no handkerchief paper available yet. His family has only used very rough toilet paper in the past two years. Before that, his father used to cut wood chips.

If he had a handy handkerchief, wouldn't he just use it to wipe a few times?

"You can buy me a new handkerchief tomorrow. The original handkerchief will be placed on the bedside for use... You can also buy a few more..."

"Do you think you could use more than one a night?"

"of course."

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and didn't want to talk about him.

It's been a while since the two of them packed up and lay down at the same time.

Ye Yaodong was also worried all the time, so it was rare that he didn't fall asleep immediately. Now he was full of energy.

"Dad also told me about the tomb construction in the afternoon and said that the Qingming Festival is less than a month away."

"Didn't you mention it the year before last? My eldest uncle and my second uncle said they had no money."

"What dad means is that I should talk to my cousins ​​and persuade them to go to their dad to do some ideological work."

"That's okay. If we get this done early, we can also let go of the big stone in our hearts. Repairing tombs is a top priority for us country people."

"Well, we'll see what happens then. I think our family's feng shui is really good. When the time comes to build a tomb, I'll ask a gentleman to go to the mountain and take a look. If there's no problem with the current feng shui, we can just build the tomb on the spot. Yes, the current position is pretty good for us."

"But it's not friendly to the eldest uncle's family. Both cousins ​​were sent in. Now only one has come out, and there is another one inside. The eldest uncle and aunt are quite difficult to deal with originally. Even if they are really persuaded, they will definitely I have another opinion about the address.”

"That's why I asked a Feng Shui expert to check out the location. You have to believe what the Feng Shui expert says, right?"

"I'll believe it if I say it, but it's still the current position. I definitely don't agree with it at all. He will probably think of moving to a different position, changing Feng Shui or something."

"It's so annoying. The more people you have, the more opinions you have. It's still so difficult to deal with each of them. Mad, let's talk about it when the time comes."

I had just relaxed and was in a good mood, but now I was in a bad mood again.

It's better not to think about this matter. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. We can talk about it after we have some free time and make an appointment with someone.

"Go to bed early. It's almost ten o'clock. This kid is so noisy that he doesn't want to sleep until now."

"Don't let her sleep during the day, so she can go to bed early at night."

"If you don't let her sleep, she will cry and fuss during her sleep."

"That doll is so permeable, and she hugs it to sleep all day long..."

"I think it looks pretty good, quite festive, and quite cute. I don't know what you think of it."

"sleep."
