210,000 is an astronomical sum now, but 40 years later, it will be nothing. It is barely enough for the down payment of a small county town. However, 40 years later, he did not have 210,000 at the time.
In this life, he earned all the money he had in his previous life.
"The sun is so bright at noon, so I won't go back with you. I'll go directly back to my old house, so as not to have to go back to my house soon after I go to your place and make an extra trip."
"Well, you go back."
Originally, he could just settle the accounts and get the money by himself, but his father wanted to follow him and wanted to see how much the Harvest was sold for, so they happened to come out together after lunch.
Ye Yaodong didn't even look back, facing the bright sun, and went straight to his house with his cloth bag.
It was only a short walk, but he was sweating profusely and his cheeks were all red from the sun. When he got home, the sweat on his forehead was like rain.
He put the cloth bag in his hand on the table, immediately took off his clothes and went to get cold water.
Lin Xiuqing also sat up from in front of the TV, walked over and said, "Have all the debts been recovered?"
"In the bag, you take it to count and put it away."
"good."
The old lady watched him take a cold shower with long words, and kept repeating that he should not take a cold shower with cold water, why was he disobedient, and so on...
Ye Yaodong turned a deaf ear anyway. She said what she said, and he listened to his. He only listened with the left ear and immediately heard it with the right ear. He never stayed for a second longer, did not refute, and nodded with a good attitude.
After taking a shower, he went into the house shirtless and climbed directly inside to lie down because Lin Xiuqing was counting money outside.
"After adding in this money, our family will have 210,000."
Lin Xiuqing kept moving her mouth, her hands did not stop, she just nodded in agreement. When he wanted to speak again, she paused for a moment, and then said fiercely: "Don't make any noise!"
"Damn! You're so mean, you don't want anyone to say anything, so I gave you money and asked me to shut up."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking and saw that she didn't respond, he stopped talking and simply closed his eyes and took a nap. She didn't make any movement anyway, so he fell asleep soon after lying down.
In a daze, there was another little person next to him. He stretched out his arms to hug it, then patted it, and fell asleep together again.
When he woke up, the little person next to him hadn't woken up yet. She was still lying with her belly exposed, sleeping soundly. He put a quilt on her belly, and then he got up and went out gently.
Lin Xiuqing was still sitting there watching TV and eating melon seeds, looking very leisurely.
"You've been watching it all afternoon, don't you think the TV will get hot?"
Lin Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, put down the melon seeds on hand, and wanted to stand up, but sat back, "Let's watch it for another half hour. I'll get up and cook after watching it, just in time."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and glanced at the TV she was watching. It seemed to be some kind of stage play. He stretched and sat uninterestedly at the door to enjoy the cool air.
At this time, a group of children ran back from far and near, screaming.
"Slow down, don't pour it out..."
"Wait for me...cousin..."
"Why are you running?" Ye Yaodong saw Lin Guangyuan at the front running back with a bucket in his hand and his face full of excitement.
"Sister-in-law, I caught a bucket of eels and I will let my sister-in-law stew them directly."
He stretched out his head and saw that there was more than half a barrel, weighing about ten kilograms.
"Have been busy all afternoon?"
"Yes, several of us went to catch them together, and I caught the most. There were very few of them, and they basically only had half of what I did."
Ye Yaodong listened to the noisy treasure offerings next door, and knew that they all went with buckets, and everyone had a share, so there was no need to divide.
"You just let yourself go when you come here. Are you happy here? Day by day, you are either going to the mountains or going to the sea, hunting birds and stealing fruits, or catching fish and shrimps."
"Hey, is it more fun for us in the countryside? It's not fun at all in the city."
"That's because you have to work. If you don't have to work, how can it not be fun if you run around all day?"
"That's right."
"Take it in and see when your sister-in-law wants to cook it now or wait until after dinner."
Lin Xiuqing heard what they were doing and came out to take a look. Then she took over the bucket of eels and reluctantly turned off the TV to give it a rest.
"Are you having fun here?"
"happy!"
"School will start on September 1st in eight or nine days."
Lin Guangyuan's originally full smile suddenly collapsed, "It's so fast, it feels like it hasn't been here for a few days."
"It's been more than half a month, and the typhoon has passed. I see you are having fun and not thinking about it. If I don't remind you, you don't know if you have done your homework? Ye Chenghu is the same. He is about to register for school. Have you finished his homework?
?”
Ye Chenghu said nothing, staggered into the house with his shoulders slumped like a zombie, and then sat in front of the TV and sighed.
Lin Xiuqing suddenly said: "Don't turn on the TV. The TV is already very hot. You need to take a rest."
Ye Chenghu looked at her accusingly, "I haven't watched it all day, and you won't watch it any less."
"Who told you not to watch TV at home but to run around outside all day?"
"You watch TV all day long. It's so hot that it's going to go bad."
"I watch Sun Wukong."
Ye Chengyang's eyes lit up, "Did it happen during the day? When did it happen? Why didn't I know? Mom, what time did you watch it today? I will watch it at home tomorrow, so I won't go out."
He crackled a lot, and the monkey was so happy when he heard it was played during the day.
"Your sheep are no longer grazing?"
"Bring it back as soon as possible."
Ye Chenghu asked: "Mom, is it gone now? Can't it be opened?"
"No, hurry up and finish your homework. One by one, you have only been playing for two months, staring at the monkey all day long. When the time comes, you won't be able to sign up. Let's see what you do.
"
"Mom, please tell me first what content Sunhouhou showed today?"
"You don't want me to watch it all afternoon now?"
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, she looked at Lin Guangyuan and said, "I will send you to the city in the next two days."
"So fast?"
"Don't you want to leave time to do your homework? And it's only a week. Don't tell me you've finished your homework?"
Lin Guangyuan was also very frustrated, "No."
It’s so fun here. You can go to the mountains and sea during the day, and you can watch TV at night. You don’t have to do any work. You can sleep in the sun every day, no one scolds you, and you can eat and drink. It’s so great that he doesn’t want to go back to the city.
He was originally a wild child in the countryside, but after he went to the city, he stayed in the store all day and night to help with the work, and never had a day off. For him, this hard life was too difficult. Now he would rather go back to school than go to school.
Stay and work in the shop.
Ye Yaodong: "In the past two days, I asked my mother to filter out all the fish sauce that can be filtered, then pack it up and send it down with Lin Guangyuan."
"I think so too. There is no dried fish in the warehouse now, and we can't just send him there with an empty truck. It will waste time. I will filter out the fish sauce in the next two days, load a truck and send him away with him."
The couple had already decided, and Lin Guangyuan had nothing to say. Time indeed flew by while they were playing.
Lin Xiuqing carried a bucket of eel into the house, ready to stew it first.
Lin Guangyuan was still sitting at the door and sighed, "Oh, I have to study for another year, and make people laugh for another year."
Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder reassuringly, "There is nothing to laugh at. We are here to learn knowledge. Knowledge is power. As long as you want to learn, it is never too late. In the future, who is laughing will not know who is laughing. By then, everyone will
I have to envy you."
"Just comfort me, Captain Chen said it's not that easy to be a soldier now."
"That's not necessarily the case. Just wait until you graduate and then go through the normal application process."
"Oh, little uncle, everyone says you are so powerful now. You know many big leaders from all over the world. Is there any way you can send me to join the army?"
"You should wait until graduation first, and then I'll ask."
At that time, he had been encouraging Lin Guangyuan to go back to school and graduate from junior high school before joining the army. He had dropped out of school for two years at that time, and it was not easy to go back to school following his advice.
He is two years older than the kids in the same class, but he still dropped out of school for two years and then went back. He will definitely be subject to a lot of gossip.
Now, waiting for him to study next year, if the normal application process doesn't work, then he has to help find a way to satisfy the child's cherished ideal.
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words. I will finish my homework as soon as I get back." Lin Guangyuan was immediately full of enthusiasm.
He is already 17, and he will be 18 next year. He is no longer a child. He can already marry a wife in the countryside. He also understands what Ye Yaodong just said and will definitely help.
As long as he lasts for one more year, his dream will most likely come true next year. His Haihun shirt is still neatly displayed in the cabinet in Ye Chenghu's room wherever he goes.
"As long as you don't feel like being a soldier is hard when the time comes."
"No."
"Go ahead, there's no need to take a shower. First go to the back door and help me clean the sheepfold, and then clean up all the goose poop and other things at the back door."
Lin Guangyuan was also petrified, "Huh?"
"Having been happy for so many days, do you think you don't have to work anymore? Go quickly, it's time to pay off your debts."
"Why……"
"Because if you don't do it, I will."
He had to go to the province at night and then go to Zhejiang Province to make money. How could he have time to do such dirty work?
Usually the boys in the workshop work every now and then, but now I see Lin Guangyuan is so happy every day, how is this allowed?
The few boys in the workshop who are about the same age as him have already started to make money, and two of them are still going to sea, so he has to work harder.
"Should I do it alone?"
"Do you still want me to accompany you? If you can move Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang, that's fine."
"fart!"
"Go quickly and clean it up."
Lin Guangyuan sighed and resignedly went to get the broom and dustpan.
"Sprinkle a little more plant ash."
"oh."
It’s gone at night, I’m too sleepy, so I’m going to catch up on today’s update and write tomorrow’s one, so I won’t be able to stay up late at night.
I was so sleepy that I kept dozing off. I read a paragraph several times before I could continue writing it. I tried not to close my eyelids. Good night.
Chapter completed!
