Chapter 1053: Settlement (10,000 words, monthly ticket +26)
Although the flood season is coming to an end, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, not to mention that the ship has not been repaired yet. Ye Yaodong and his father still go out to sea to fish for squid as usual.
It was just that the weather was unpredictable. It had been sunny for more than half a month. At noon the next day, a dark cloud floated in the sky, covering the sky and darkening the sun. Everyone on the sea immediately hurried back.
At this glance, I knew it was going to rain heavily.
Lin Xiuqing at home also saw the suddenly darkening sky and immediately ran to the workshop
Thousands of kilograms of squid have been slaughtered every day for the past few days, and the open space is full of them. Even the dried ones she originally thought about drying for a long time today and then collecting them when the sun is good, but now she has to collect them quickly.
.
The boys in the workshop also quickly got busy, moving what should be moved to the squid. Most of these goods are hung to dry, and they are fast to be put on the rope. They are not afraid of overlapping and save space.
After the family moved all the goods under the nylon bag cover, they had time to take a breath, but their backs were covered in sweat.
Lin Xiuqing collected the dried squid in a sack with great efficiency, and cursed the weather forecast.
Last night, she heard the weather forecast, which said it was going to be sunny and cloudy, so she thought it would be good to dry it for half a day and put it away to avoid dew all night.
receive.
At this time, the air also contains thick water vapor. Fortunately, it is already half the morning. There was still sunshine in the morning, and the dew was wiped out. However, it started to hide behind the clouds. At this time, I felt the dryness
It’s not bad, it’s still acceptable.
Several people were busy working together quickly, and the dark clouds became thicker and thicker, and it was completely dark, but no raindrops fell.
They also raised their heads while closing, and looked at the sky from time to time. They saw dark clouds above them, but there were blue sky and white clouds on the other side of the sky.
The two extremes occupy the entire sky. Looking at it makes people want to curse, "God, you are moody."
After collecting them, they checked again and made sure that all the squid were hanging under the nylon bag and avoiding the edge. They felt relieved.
The quantity of this batch is much older. The three days' worth of goods from several ships combined has about 10,000 kilograms that have not yet been dried. However, the goods from the previous days were put away in time.
After completing all the inspections and work that needed to be done, Lin Xiuqing was wet with sweat as if she had been fished out of water. She stood panting. After telling her two younger brothers to watch the workshop, she went back to the workshop.
Walk home.
At this time, the wind also became stronger, and it was cool when blowing in the face. It felt like the temperature had dropped, although it was obviously quite high before.
Before I walked home, just after walking a short distance, huge raindrops began to fall from the sky. The nylon basins above the heads of the two workshops nearby were making a crackling sound from the rain, as if falling from the sky.
A pile of beans fell, and the rain became more and more rapid.
Lin Xiuqing didn't have time to run home before she was hit by huge raindrops on her forehead. Moreover, the sky became darker, as dark as if it was evening. The raindrops fell in front of her and formed a curtain of rain. She hurried back.
The old lady had already driven a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese back to the yard. When she ran home, there were already a bunch of poultry standing on the porch.
"Has Yangyang brought the sheep back?"
"I didn't see it. It's probably still on the way. It's not that fast."
Lin Xiuqing didn't pay much attention. It was raining anyway, so anyone who wasn't stupid would have known how to run back.
"It was still sunny in the morning, so I'm going to fall out. They all have to come back immediately from the sea. It's raining so hard all at once. It's already dark. It was half blue and half black just now."
"How about the squid drying there? Can it be moved to a better place?"
"Everything is done, and what needs to be collected has been collected."
"Then go inside and wait to take shelter from the rain. The rain is coming down hard and fast. It should only last for a while. It will probably clear up after the dark clouds have drifted away."
"Um."
It was raining and she couldn't do anything. She couldn't watch the TV or listen to the radio. She was just standing at the door. Lin Xiuqing simply went inside to make clothes.
Half a month ago, Aguang not only bought fabrics for two little girls, but also bought an extra piece and asked her to make a set for each of her two sons. She took advantage of her free time to make clothes for the two little girls.
It's exactly the same. The two sons haven't done the same thing yet.
It happened to be raining now and I couldn't do anything, so I cut it out first and took the time to sew it with a sewing machine.
It has been so hot these two days that all they need to wear is autumn clothes and a cardigan. They only wear one pair of pants, and the new clothes are just right for them to wear.
After this rain passes, it will probably get a little warmer again.
The old lady had nothing to do and sat at the door, spinning Buddhist beads and looking at Ye Xiaoxi.
It was raining, and Ye Xiaoxi was in a panic. He took a stick in his hand and kept poking the chickens and ducks on the porch, causing them to either coo or quack, and then flutter into the rain and run back from time to time.
The three geese in the corner didn't dare to provoke them. They had a fight last time. She also knew that these geese were not easy to bully, so she picked them up easily.
"Where's my sister~ So boring~ Where's my brother~"
"I'll be back in a minute. Don't mess with those chickens and ducks."
She squatted there with her chin propped up, looking at the rain dripping outside, helpless and unable to go out.
Seeing the old lady closing her eyes after finishing speaking, rolling the beads in her hand, she squatted there and took a sneak glance, then moved forward two small steps, then stretched out her palm to catch the rain, and then immediately put it away.
When I came back, I held my wet palms and played with them, my face brightened with joy.
I was just afraid that my laughter would disturb the old lady's chanting, so I quickly covered my mouth with my other hand, glanced aside quietly, and then continued to stretch my hand.
It wasn't until Ye Chengyang ran in soaked and soaked that Ye Xiaoxi shouted happily, "Brother is back~"
The old lady also opened her eyes and stood up quickly, "You're all wet. Come in quickly and get some hot water to wash yourself. Don't catch a cold."
"Mom, you have to play with water, you have to play with water~play with mud~"
Brother Keng’s little girl ran excitedly into the house.
In the past, she was beaten for playing in the water, but now she was finally caught.
After Lin Xiuqing heard the child shouting, she also put down what she was doing and came out first.
Ye Chengyang also stared at the screaming little girl depressedly at this time, "Nonsense, I saw it raining, and then I came back with the lamb."
Lin Xiuqing also pinched Ye Xiaoxi's nose, "Is this a random complaint? Will it happen again in the future?"
"I play in the water every day, and you still talk about me."
Ye Xiaoxi laughed so hard that he hid behind Lin Xiuqing.
The adults in the house ignored her. The old lady took the basin to get hot water for Yangyang. Ah Qing also went into the house to get clothes for the child and asked him to take a bath and change into them quickly.
"Where's the lamb?"
"I tied him to the shed at the back door."
"Why is there mud all over you?"
"It was raining and the ground was too slippery. I fell down several times. Then the lambs were still running around. I was dragged by them and kept falling."
"Um."
Ye Xiaoxi failed to trick her brother, so when she had nothing to do, she ran to the back door to see the lamb, and even imitated the lamb's bleating. It was obvious that she was bored and panicking.
Fortunately, when Ye Chengyang finished taking a bath, she had company.
Ye Yaodong arrived home more than an hour later. There was no doubt that he was soaked in the rain and got home soaked all over.
The same goes for the two brothers next door. They were only a short distance away from home. It was raining so hard that all the fishing boats on the sea had to rush back.
Everyone is also thankful that the squid flood season is almost coming to an end.
The rain continued until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, then it stopped sparsely, and the sky slowly started to light up again.
Ye Yaodong was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of rain falling on the eaves outside. The light coming from the window became brighter, so he opened the window and took a look. Sure enough, the rain stopped and the air outside was also clear.
The fragrance of earth after rain.
He fastened the iron hook on the window and left it open to get some fresh air. Anyway, it wasn't raining anymore, so it couldn't get in.
Then I put on my clothes again and went out to take a look at the workshop. When I came back in the afternoon, I saw the guard poking the nylon tent on the top with a stick to let the water pour down.
When I came out now, there were still people walking inside with sticks, and the water on the ceiling was almost empty.
After walking around for a while, everything seemed normal. He just had to wait for the weather to turn fine, so he said a few words and sat at the door again.
A group of children also came back from school. They were all running around with lotus leaves on their heads, and their trousers were the same color as mud.
The first time Ye Chenghu arrived at the door of his house, he shouted, "Dad, you are at home, so why didn't you give me an umbrella or pick me up on your bicycle?"
"Come on, why don't you wash my bike? It's such a muddy road in this weather, not to mention it's stopped raining. I don't need an umbrella. Why don't I just walk back?"
"It also rained just now. Look, I'm all wet, including my shoes."
"Go, go, go take a shower and change your clothes."
He immediately ran into the house and said, "Mom, can you use the washing machine to wash the clothes later? It's raining and it can't be dried. You have to use the washing machine. I can help you wash it. Hold it down and prevent it from running around."
"You take a shower first and change your clothes first..."
"Then you have to wait until I finish taking a shower before letting me wash my clothes. Don't put them in secretly and wash them first. You have to wait for me."
"I know, are you bothered..."
When it rained heavily at noon, the power went out for a while. When the rain almost stopped, the power came on again.
Their house does not use electricity during the day, and no house in the village turns on the lights during the day, so the voltage of the washing machine is stable when used to wash clothes, unlike the refrigerator that consumes electricity by running all the time.
After getting the washing machine, Ye Chenghu began to look forward to rain again, but he didn't dare to pray for rain any more, lest he would get wet again.
His mother is reluctant to use the washing machine. Only when it rains, there is no sun, the clothes cannot be dried, and it is inconvenient to wash them by the river, will she be willing to put them in the washing machine for washing and dehydration.
And his biggest hobby now is to help his mother wash clothes. Turning the mechanical button of the washing machine and watching the washing machine spin and wash clothes makes him extremely novel. Then when it is time to dehydrate, he stands on tiptoe to get the clothes into the drum.
Go ahead and spin the spin button.
Lin Xiuqing didn't need to do anything during the whole process, even adding and draining water was done by him. He could stand by the washing machine and watch for an hour, and when he saw the water was removed, he still asked his mother to dry the clothes.
After taking a shower, he was also actively busy helping with the laundry.
I didn't have the strength to lift the bucket of water, so I took a ladle and poured it into the washing machine one by one. Then I stood on tiptoes and looked inside to see the water level. After adding the water, I picked up a small bag of washing powder and shook it inside. I saw that there was something there.
The model is the same.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi both stood around the washing machine and stood on tiptoe to watch, trying to help, but they were driven away by him and could only watch.
"I've never seen you so active in studying and doing homework, son."
"Hey, this is fun."
"What about your homework?"
"Wait a minute, I'll do my homework after I finish washing my clothes."
"He's a housekeeper. I'll let your mother teach you how to cook tomorrow. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to eat your cooking."
"Have my grandpa eaten the food you cooked?"
"Definitely."
"Really, then why didn't I eat it?"
The expression on Ye Yaodong's face was stunned for a moment, and then he glared angrily, "Fuck, you brat, you took advantage of me!"
Ye Chenghu's face was blank and innocent, "Ah? What's so cheap?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing while cooking there, "Why are you teasing him when you have nothing to do?"
"It's not because he is so good at doing housework and so active in doing housework. I thought maybe we could train him a little. When you are busy, you can ask him to cook for us."
"It's a nice thought. He's not much taller than the stove, so I just want him to cook for you."
"Just get a stool and put your feet up."
Seeing that his father had changed the topic, Ye Chenghu continued to work with peace of mind without glaring at him. He stood on tiptoes and checked the water level. If there was no problem, he closed the lid.
When Ye Chengyang reached out to turn the mechanical button, he patted his hand several times and shouted, "Don't move, I'll do it, I'll do it, you won't..."
He was almost snatched alive by a sneak attack.
After pulling the person away, he actively ran forward and turned the mechanical button, and then saw sounds starting to come from the washing machine.
He immediately put his hands on it, and the other two children also touched the washing machine in the same way, feeling that the body of the washing machine was shaking slightly due to its operation.
The three of them kept staring at the washing machine, watching the buttons slowly move back. They didn't get tired of watching them for a month. It wasn't until after they were reset that they actively changed the bucket for wet clothes.
Ye Chengyang also actively ran to point the drain pipe outside the back door to let the water drain out of the pipe and out the back door.
Ye Chenghu didn't compete with him for the job because he still had to twist the button to dehydrate.
When it comes to dehydration, the washing machine shakes even more violently. Without anyone pressing it, it can shake out dozens of centimeters away from the original place.
Ye Xiaoxi felt it was fun, so he leaned there and pressed his back against the washing machine to feel its vibration.
Ye Chenghu also imitated her and supported the washing machine with his back, keeping the washing machine close to the wall to prevent it from running around. He followed the trembling frequency of the washing machine in his mouth, trembling and twitching, and chanted: "Shake, tremble, tremble, tremble."
Shake..."
"Hahaha..." Ye Xiaoxi laughed while watching his brother perform twitching.
Ye Chengyang held the drain pipe and played with it while draining the water. If no one pressed the pipe, it would slip into the house later and fill the house with water.
Although it was fun to watch them shake, they didn't dare to let go.
Ye Yaodong felt that it was indeed wise for him to buy a washing machine. It would reduce the burden on Lin Xiuqing, so that she no longer had to wash her own clothes, and it could also cultivate the enthusiasm of the children to work, and everyone would rush to do it.
I just don’t know how long this fresh energy will last.
I don’t know whether it will be sunny or rainy tomorrow, but the weather forecast for tonight says it will rain.
When his two brothers came over to discuss the weather, he wouldn't go anyway. Whether it would be accurate or not depends on whether they believe it or not. After all, this weather forecast has a long history.
The two of them were probably exhausted from going to sea continuously for more than half a month. As expected, they didn't go out at night. It was also cloudy all day the next day, and there was wet mud everywhere on the road. It was not easy to dry out without the sun.
The same goes for the people in the village. Many people did not go to sea at night. They shouted and chatted with their neighbors at their doorsteps early in the morning.
Ye Yaodong had just woken up when he heard various noises outside. After pondering for a while, he got up and went out to listen to their chat. They were all talking about their harvest in the past half month and asking each other how much money they earned.
After breakfast, he was going to go for a walk in the village. The whole village was talking about this topic. There was nothing new to hear, so he went back first.
It rained continuously for two days, so the villagers took the opportunity to rest for three days to recuperate. When the sun came out on the fourth day, everyone went out to sea to dry out their fishing nets.
However, when the weather clears, everyone goes out to sea not to fish, but to collect branches and squid eggs attached to them, and to see if the flood season is over.
Ye Yaodong and his son only drove one boat, and the other boat was left idle for now. After all, they also collected branches and cleaned up the tail, so one boat was enough.
Taking advantage of my free time in the past few days, people have been coming to ask if they want to rent their boats. After all, there are two boats docked outside the pier. They look very conspicuous. One is very new, and the other is a bit old, but it is still OK.
Can be used.
He had discussed it with his father and rented it out to his other cousins, just like raising relatives and allowing them to earn a living and have a stable income.
He actually has quite a lot of cousins. After all, his mother has 8 brothers and sisters. The eldest cousins ​​are actually only a few years younger than his mother. He doesn’t know them all. He said they rented them to his cousin.
Brothers, in fact, they rented it to their cousins ​​and let them arrange it themselves.
Anyway, he left the receiving of the goods to his younger brothers and let them take care of business. Don't just think that they are relatives and just turn a blind eye and just go by.
Then there is no direct contact between him and his father. In the future, there will be less troublesome things that may require acknowledgment. He will tell the younger brother to handle business seriously. Of course, the younger brother will not be accommodating to relatives he is not familiar with.
We had already made a reservation two days ago, and agreed to hand over the two boats to them after it clears up and returns from the sea.
One of the boats was captured and needed to be re-maintained and repainted. How could those pirates take care of the fishing boats? He didn't have time to maintain them during this period, so he just used them.
So when I rented it to them, I also asked them to do their own maintenance and remove the barnacles, but the paint on it had to be according to his requirements, and it was painted Dongsheng 011.
Of course, he had to spend money to buy the paint, and he couldn't let others spend money before they started making money. After all, they were all his own people, and they had to do the labor themselves.
It's just that they don't know why they painted 011. If it wasn't 002, it's because the other new ship is 001.
Ye Yaodong smiled with an incomprehensible look on his face and said he would find out later. Anyway, he would just swipe 011 for this one.
Because the captured boat was the 11th one among his boats, but not all the boats had been obtained yet, so he certainly couldn't make a big fuss about it now.
The two boats, one new and one old, were given to two cousins ​​at the same time. For the sake of fairness, he asked them to use rock-paper-scissors, and the winner got the new one and the loser got the old one.
No one has any objections. I can only blame my bad luck for getting the old one.
After the two boats were rented out, Ye Yaodong got on his motorcycle and ran to the shipyard.
He had given them three days. According to him, it was almost repaired, right?
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the factory, there was no trace of him. He was almost so angry that one Buddha came out of his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
He had almost arranged everything at home, but something went wrong here.
When he arrived, he excitedly ran to see his boat, but it turned out that it was still being repaired there.
Director Wu saw his disgusted face and quickly explained, "Brother, I didn't mean not to repair it for you. I arranged to repair it for you the next morning, but it only started to rain all morning. It was so heavy."
There is no way for someone to repair it for you in the rain. So I can only let it go for a while."
"Look, if it clears up this morning, I will immediately arrange for someone to repair it for you. If everything goes well, you can come over and open it tomorrow afternoon, really."
"It's been raining intermittently these days, as you know, so I can only let the master do the indoor work first."
"Anyway, it's already today, so we don't have to wait another day. If you come over tomorrow afternoon, you will be able to drive back."
Director Wu quickly changed the topic after seeing that his face was not so bad.
Ye Yaodong is now a big customer of their factory, and there are still several ships waiting there.
Is it possible not to offend or not to offend? After all, he orders one ship after another. Who knows how many more ships he will order in the future?
Every time he takes a few unexpected glances, he will bring him greater surprises and differences.
Who knew there wouldn't be a bigger surprise, are you still waiting?
"Also, your eldest brother's boat is almost ready in the past two days. Just wait for it to be put into the water and debugged. Can you inform him when you get back? Let him wait and see? In the past half month, I have been urged by him several times.
With your second brother, I don’t know if the two of us have agreed to take turns to fight."
"Your two sisters-in-law still scolded me for being immoral. I handed over your ship first. What do you mean by this? Several groups have started work one after another. You are a big customer. You must prepare the materials first and keep them busy every day.
, I was so depressed that I could only work overtime and let the workers catch up on them first.”
Ye Yaodong also felt that he had indeed taken advantage of this matter, and it was appropriate to allocate manpower to them to build the ship first.
It was only one day late and he didn't say anything.
"Okay, if you want to take advantage of the rainy weather and build the boat for them, I won't say anything. I didn't know they even called you to scold you."
"Okay, let's make an agreement then. You can wait until tomorrow evening to sail the boat again."
"Oh no, my eldest brother can come and sail the boat just by looking at the weather in the next two days, but what about my second brother? Don't you think that whoever scolds the most harshly will be allowed to come and sail first?"
Ye Yaodong looked him up and down suspiciously, feeling that he was this kind of person. Whoever urged him the most would be given priority. If there was no one to urge him, of course he, the big customer, would be given priority.
"Haha, that's not the case. We all deliver goods according to the completion level of the group. The eldest brother's order comes first, that is, his is the first. Originally, the two brothers also had the eldest brother write the order first, and then the second brother's. This time
They definitely have nothing to say."
A cunning old man and a thief.
But there is no problem in this arrangement. If he really skips his eldest brother and gives it to his second brother first, then his eldest sister-in-law will go crazy and come directly to kill him.
"How long will it take for my second brother?"
"Probably half a month at most."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell you that it will be around the end of the month. Let my mother check the dates in advance. Then you can finish it before the date you like."
"That's okay, but don't do it earlier than the end of the month, otherwise you'll have to push me hard again. I'm very embarrassed. It's already ahead of schedule, and I still have to push it."
"knew."
After finalizing the matter again, he looked at the shore for a while and found that he was indeed repairing it seriously, and then he went back with peace of mind.
On a sunny day, two of his elder brother's and second brother's nets were drying up in front of their door, and they reached the beach.
Both of them were sitting at the door. After seeing him come back, they both got up and walked to his house.
When he went out, both of them asked him to help check on the progress of their fishing boat. After all, when he finalized the boat charter in the afternoon, they were also listening and looking forward to it.
After parking the motorcycle, he also immediately informed them of the progress of the two boats. By the way, the two of them had no objections to the issue of order.
Ye Yaopeng was extremely happy. An old boat that had been driven for so long broke down every once in a while. The efficiency was much worse than others, and a lot of money was spent on repairs. Fortunately, the three brothers shared it and borne it together.
It is of course better to have your own boat as early as possible.
Ye Yaohua knew it would be after the end of the month and didn't care so much. If it was half a month late, it would be half a month late. He was also happy.
“I’ve been ordering for a year, and finally I can get it right away.”
"At dinner time, Mom will come over and ask her to look at it for you for two days, and then arrange to go into the water and drive back."
"Hey, okay..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the two happy people and pondered for a moment: "Now that the new boat has arrived, how will the elder brother arrange the old boat? I can just take back the second brother's boat when the time comes. It will save trouble, but dad
Where is the boat for you?"
Ye Yaopeng's first reaction was to rent it like him.
He thought so and said so.
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything. Last year, his father said that after his eldest brother and his second brother got the boat, he would return the old boat to him. I don't know if they forgot about it in the past year.
Anyway, let them solve it on their own, he won't care about it and won't interfere.
When they said this last year, he wasn't around either. It would be a few days later and it would be too late to wait until the ship was in hand.
After receiving the message, the two brothers happily went home to share it. However, since he was close to his second brother's house, he did hear a few words of dissatisfaction from his second sister-in-law.
The sound insulation effect is really poor.
"It will be easier if we each have our own boats. We can take back the second brother's boat after we make a final calculation at the end of the month. If the second brother's boat is delivered first, we can also do it while you are at home these two days.
Take it back immediately and arrange to rent it out."
"Then my sister-in-law scolded me again. Half a month's delay is equivalent to half a month's less money for my family."
"We have been making less money. We have always suffered the loss, okay?"
Lin Xiuqing snorted and said: "When we were settling accounts a few days ago, because they said they would go to sea for three more days, they were given three extra days of wages. But because it rained, they only went out for one day, and there were still two days left.
I will deduct the day’s wages when the accounts are settled at the end of the month.”
Ye Yaodong smiled, feeling that she was cute and petty at this time, generous when she was generous, and making others unhappy when she was unhappy.
"That's right. Brothers should settle their accounts clearly. One code should be the same. The accounts that should be settled must be settled clearly. Anyway, there is only one more calculation at the end of the month, and it will be irrelevant. There will be no accounting transactions in the future."
"Well, it's easy to settle accounts with outsiders, but it's annoying to have one's own people settle accounts."
"Actually, it's nothing. Just business matters."
"Humph, you carry those children for them every day. The money they give to the children is probably not as much as what you spend on them."
Lin Xiuqing was a little dissatisfied after doing so many times.
"Those are also my nieces and nephews. It's okay to give them some occasional pocket money and buy food."
"So they know you will carry them around, it doesn't matter, and they won't want to comfort the children in the future."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Anyway, I will do whatever you say from now on, okay? I'll listen to you."
"Well, I'm just reminding you to save them from getting used to it."
"knew."
"What about our ship? When will it come back?"
Just listening to the grumbling next door made her forget to ask about the real thing.
"I'll drive back tomorrow evening. I'll refuel and add ice when passing through the town. It just so happens that I'll have an extra day of rest tomorrow. I'll check the weather forecast tomorrow night. If there's nothing unusual, I'll go out to sea at night." He evaded the issue and didn't say it hadn't been repaired.
"Then I'll prepare some food for you tomorrow, as well as things to take on board."
"It's up to you."
After saying that, he also remembered that he had forgotten something.
"Has Ah Guang come here today? From morning to now, I have been busy running around without stopping for a rest. Is he still at home? A few days ago, he told me that he was going to the city after the flood season. I wanted to take a ride.
Our tractor."
"He didn't come over. It probably just cleared up and he must be busy."
"I'll go take a look. If you plan to go to the city tomorrow, I'll arrange to pick up a cart of goods and send them there tomorrow. By the way, I'll tell his father that we will go to sea tomorrow night."
"Why don't you take a break and wait until you finish dinner? Didn't you say that you were so busy that you never sat down to rest?"
Ye Yaodong had already walked out and immediately stopped to look at his watch.
"It's 5 o'clock? The sun is so bright."
"That's why I asked you to go after dinner. Otherwise, if you go, you will be in time for someone else's meal. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"It's okay to eat a meal from him, right? He doesn't miss eating here."
"The key is that I definitely didn't overcook you."
"That's true. Let's go after dinner. Give me a squeeze on your shoulders. Your shoulders are sore after running around all day."
"That's a great idea, I'm going to cook."
"Where's my daughter? Let her beat my legs and show her filial piety."
"I and Yangyang are herding sheep in the open space next to us." Lin Xiuqing put on her apron and said casually.
"Forget it, I'm going to wash the motorcycle."
"The road surface is not dry, and there are mud puddles everywhere. You are willing to drive this car out. It is so dirty, mud and water splash everywhere, and you don't take good care of it. Even the bicycle chain is rusted by you. Others
The ones I bought earlier than you are all brand new, but you don’t know how to take care of things at all.”
"Who said I don't know how to take care of it? I'm just going to clean it. What's more, machinery must be used more and more. If it's not used, it will break. It's necessary to ride it every now and then. I'm going to sea soon, so
I must be pampered."
There was no ambiguity in his original words, and he didn't refer to anything. He was talking about motorcycles, but when it fell into Ah Qing's ears, the last sentence had a different meaning.
When he turned around and walked out, he glared at his back angrily.
However, Ye Yaodong didn't see her affectionate eyes, so he took a bucket of water and a rag and went out to wash the car in his spare time.
When Mother Ye came over, she was a little surprised to see how hardworking he was, "The sun is coming out in the west?"
"It's not like we came out from the west. It just set down from the west. There's nothing to make a fuss about."
"You didn't ask your wife to do it, you did it yourself."
"My car, of course I own it."
"Then why haven't I seen you brush against the bicycle?"
"What's the point of cleaning a bicycle? Do I have to ride a bicycle for the rest of my life?"
What he said made sense, and Ye Mu paused for a moment unable to refute.
"Other people's homes are like treasures. Every time they go out for a ride and come back, they have to wipe all the dust off them. But you just left them there. Ah Qing took the time to wipe them off for you."
Ye Yaodong ignored his mother and kept wiping it. This car was so handsome, so of course he had to take good care of it.
You don't expect to ride a bicycle for twenty or thirty years, but this car can do well if it is well maintained.
It's so cool, it's an old antique that won't be easy to buy in the future.
"I'm telling you, the in-laws and the widow next door took advantage of the sunny weather today and heard that they took care of things."
"Ah? Really? The widow has become A Guang's stepmother?"
This time he stopped.
"Well, I heard that the in-laws were almost dragged to their home by Mr. Wang and his son two days ago, and they were all picked up. Fortunately, Aguang was passing by and saw his father and stopped him. Otherwise, who is his stepmother now?
It’s hard to say.”
Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines, "This is all right, but why are you rushing to buy and sell, and want to make cooked rice from raw rice? If this is carried into their house, then they will probably have the final say on what happens."
Mother Ye said disdainfully: "They just have no choice. The in-laws have refused many times. This is too soft. They are trying to trick me. For the sake of a good life, they don't want to lose their face. They are shameless anyway."
"How come it didn't come out earlier and I didn't hear about it?"
"Didn't it rain intermittently the past two days? No one was out and about, so the news didn't spread. Today it has spread all over the place. Their whole family is about to be laughed to death. Now everyone in the village says that the in-laws are 50 years old.
It’s so popular that my father and brother are blocking the way to take it home.”
Ye Yaodong was instantly happy, "Then Uncle Pei is so proud? Hahaha, at such an age, there is still someone vying for him to be his husband, and the other woman is still a woman in her 20s, so she is indeed very popular."
Mother Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Who says it's not the case? Some old men in the village are so envious of her that she could probably blow it into the coffin."
"It's a coincidence that Aguang is lucky, otherwise his stepmother would be the ex-wife of a friend who was in her twenties."
"I don't know what A Guang was doing when he came out. Everything was wet. His father said he came out to make soy sauce and was stopped with an empty bottle. Everyone said he had been targeted for a long time. Old Wang and his family were waiting
Take him out, and if you catch him, you will bring him into the Wang family."
"The word "carry" is used very well! It's just like carrying a wife home in ancient times. If she is really carried back to the Wang family, it will be miserable, and the family will not be able to get rid of the leech."
"Who said it wasn't? When were you going to ask Aguang what he was doing when he came out? It was quite a coincidence when he rushed there." The fire of gossip was burning in Ye Mu's heart.
"I wanted to go to his house just now, but Ah Qing asked me to go after dinner, but luckily I didn't go. I guess the two families are sitting together for a wedding banquet right now."
"Well, let's go after dinner, so as not to disturb others."
"So, just because he almost became Old Man Wang's son-in-law a few days ago, Uncle Pei hurriedly got married today?"
Mother Ye felt funny again when she heard what he said, "That's right. If I met anyone that day, I wouldn't mind my own business. It was only because I met my own son that I stopped him. He was probably afraid too.
, and I’m afraid that if it happens again and no one saves him, then I really can’t explain it. I either have to pay a large sum of money, or I have to hold my nose and admit it.”
"Well, did you give the red envelope?"
"No, they are both in their forties or fifties. They just eat together and live together. How can they be so particular? They didn't notify anyone. I just heard about it, but now that I have heard about it,
You can't pretend you don't know. If you come across something later, just bring a red envelope for me, just to show your appreciation, no matter if I accept it or not."
"Okay, it might as well be settled as early as possible. I said I would settle it on Mazu's birthday, but I was too busy. Fortunately, I didn't get carried back. I just have two free days and it's sunny today, so I might as well do it.
When I originally wanted to go there, I told Uncle Pei that I would go to sea tomorrow night. I just got married now, so I might not go tomorrow."
"Is the boat repaired?"
"That's about right. We'll drive back tomorrow."
"He's not a young man. He's already old. He doesn't have to rest at home for a few days, right?"
"That's hard to say. I'll go over and ask after dinner."
