After Ye Yaodong settled all the matters and accounts in the city, he immediately drove the tractor back without stopping.
I spent the whole day running around on the road, and it was completely dark when I got home.
It started to get a little cooler in the evening, and there were far fewer people sitting at the door to enjoy the coolness in the village. There were only some children running and jumping on the road. There was a big temperature difference between morning and evening, and some of them had already put on long sleeves and long trousers.
The younger ones in their family also wore long sleeves and long trousers, but only the older children wore short sleeves and were sweating profusely as they ran outside the door.
He carried a small half box of lighters to the door of his house, and everyone with sharp eyes gathered around him.
"Third uncle..."
"Dad...what are you moving..."
"Uncle Third, let's help you move..."
A large number of people surrounded him, and more than a dozen hands were stretched out, and he was carried away by them before he could say a word.
He had no choice but to follow behind, "You guys go ahead and have fun. I don't see you guys being so active at work."
The old lady followed happily, "I haven't been at home for a while. I just came back. Everyone is very close to me."
Ah Qing also said: "When you come back so late, there is old duck soup stewed in the pot. Let's eat it quickly. What is in this box? Why did you come back with something to buy?"
"Third Uncle, what are all these things in here?"
"lighter."
"Wow, lighter? I have one at home. My third aunt gave one to my dad last night..."
Ye Yaodong asked them to put down their things and sent them out. Each one of them reluctantly turned around every step of the way.
"Didn't you just bring lighters to the city? Why did you come back with another box?"
He handed the cloth bag containing money to Lin Xiuqing, "I'm afraid there won't be enough money to sell. I give it away here and there. I feel like I don't have enough left."
"Oh, it's indeed gone too."
"Sold out?"
"It's sold out and the gifts are almost the same. In the evening, A Guang and Xiao A Zheng also came to look for you, but you didn't come back, so I took one for each of them."
"That's just in time. I brought back half a box of goods."
"Let's eat first, let's talk while eating." The old lady had already filled a large bowl of duck soup for him, and the rice was also put on the table.
"I'm going to wash my face and hands first."
"It's become a lot darker. I was still fair and fair before..."
Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand and looked at it. Compared with his face, his hand was a bit darker, but compared with most people in the village, it was normal.
Not to mention the men in the village, most women have darker skin, which is the result of years of hard work.
Ah Qing's skin under the clothes is a little whiter, and now her hands are almost the same color as him.
"Why do I, a grown man, want to be so white? It doesn't matter, as long as it's not as black as the bark of an old tree."
Lin Xiuqing opened the cloth bag he handed over and looked at the pile of big and small coins inside. "There's a lot of money. Dad said that last month, he just paid a salary to the workers who tidied up the vacant land. From the turnover of the city's stores,
Distribute it."
"The salary is not that much, only a few hundred yuan. You count it and keep track of it."
Ye Yaodong silently calculated. Adding the money he brought back, the dividends from the fishing boats last month, and the city's turnover, their family should be able to have 240,000 to 50,000 yuan now.
"By the way, it's mid-to-late October now. Have the kelp seedlings started blooming in the village?"
"I haven't heard of it. I don't know. You can go to the village committee tomorrow and ask."
"Then I'll ask again tomorrow."
He estimated that given the current weather, he would have to wait until November.
After a simple meal, he went to take a shower.
In the room, Lin Xiuqing was calculating accounts silently. He was also thinking about going to the village committee first instead of going to the city tomorrow.
In addition to chatting about the kelp cultivation situation, he also had to call Ye Yaohai first to ask about the filling machine. It would be best to decide on the filling machine through a phone call. Then he could go directly to try it out and pay for it to be transported back, which would also save money.
He ran time and time again.
By the way, he also asked about the ancestor worship matter that his father has always been concerned about. It was a little over two months ago. At the time, I said it was about two months, so I guess it was about the same.
From this point of view, things are almost happening one after another, and then he has to be busy in circles.
Ye Yaodong waited until Ah Qing finished counting the money and folded the money one by one and put it away, then he asked her how much money she had at home.
"It's almost more than 250,000. I don't have time to count the coins of one or two cents in change, but several buckets are almost full."
"Accumulate it, and when we have a few free days during the New Year, we will move to the post and telecommunications office to exchange the change for new banknotes."
"Then this must be quite a number."
"Just give those people with eyes on the top of their heads a little work to do, so they don't look down on people. A few pennies can give them a headache and take them a whole day."
"I really have to exchange it this year. I've said it several times, but I haven't exchanged it yet. I can't even fit it in the closet."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong couldn't remember which year the hundred-dollar bills were issued. Anyway, his memory should be around the late 1980s. When he had a lot of cash, it would be better to exchange for hundred-dollar bills to save space.
Money is so spent these days, you can buy things with just a few cents, your purchasing power is too strong, and your liquidity is extremely large.
If it weren't for the wholesale sales in his store, I might have received more change.
"Are you still going out tomorrow?"
"Don't go out tomorrow, let's make a phone call first, what's wrong?"
"No, I would like to ask who you want to rent the newly acquired boat No. 003 to. It has just been back for two or three days. If you rent it out, we can also earn more income from another boat."
"Oh, let's take a look tomorrow. Let's go out casually. There are many people wanting to rent."
"It doesn't depend on what you want. You are the head of the family and everyone is back. Of course I will listen to you. It depends on who you want to rent to."
Ye Yaodong chuckled and leaned over, hugged her and raised and lowered his hands, "Do you listen to me?"
Lin Xiuqing slapped his hands off and said angrily: "You say what I say, whatever is on your mind."
"I've been out for more than a month, and if I don't think about these two things on your chest, you should be suspicious."
"Then why did you go to bed early last night?"
"Damn... I knew you were always thinking about it. Fortunately, I grabbed it and didn't let go." He said and used two more points of strength.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and glared at him, "I am thinking about your safe return."
"I know, I understand. I couldn't sleep well on the boat yesterday. I almost didn't sleep all night, so I was too tired when I came back. I went to bed early. I won't go to bed that early tonight."
"You've been running back and forth today too."
"That's okay. Everyone is back. I have to satisfy you first. I'll be a little bit tired when I'm tired, so as not to fall asleep when I lie down later."
"You get the advantage but still behave..."
"Raise your hands and cooperate..."
The couple took off and kissed each other step by step, moving towards the bed little by little.
But as soon as the two of them lay down, A Guang's voice sounded outside.
Ye Yaodong originally wanted to pretend that he hadn't heard, but Ye Xiaoxi had already opened the door with a bang and came in, and was still chattering.
"Sister, it's on the bed. I'll get it for you... give you one..."
"Dad? Are you going to bed? Mom is going to bed too?"
Ye Yaodong was hurriedly covering Ah Qing with a quilt, glared at her angrily, and whispered something about debt collection.
She almost died of fright when her pants were taken off.
I had just finished taking a shower and when I went in to change into shorts, I forgot to lock the door.
He shouted to Ah Guang who was outside, "Wait for me. I just came back and took a shower. I'm going to get some clothes to put on."
Ye Xiaoxi didn't know anything, so she climbed onto the bed on her hands and knees, looking for some small dolls and some small toys that Ye Yaodong brought back to her yesterday.
Pei Yu stood beside the bed and watched curiously.
Lin Xiuqing was extremely embarrassed, her cheeks were red, and she was clutching the quilt tightly. However, Ye Xiaoxi was still talking about her doll, and even pulled the quilt, trying to find her doll.
She could only pull the quilt and press it under her body to prevent it from being opened, and the child would have to yell away because she was ignorant.
"Let's play with the ones in the corner of the bed. If you can't find them, we'll look for them tomorrow. Mom has a cold and has a headache and needs to sleep. Don't make trouble."
"Mom is sick?"
Ye Xiaoxi stopped looking for toys and quickly crawled over, lying on her body, and stretched out his little hand to touch her forehead and face.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you need to take medicine or get an injection?"
After Ye Yaodong found his clothes, he quickly returned to the bed and took down Ye Xiaoxi who was lying on her body.
"Just don't bother your mother, she will be fine tomorrow."
Ye Xiaoxi broke away from his embrace, lay back on the bed, and then reached out and patted Lin Xiuqing's chest.
"Then I'm going out. Mom, you can go to sleep and I won't disturb you anymore."
"Go, go."
Ye Xiaoxi leaned over and kissed her cheek.
Pei Yu followed suit and kissed her, and then the two sisters went out hand in hand.
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing with a painful look on his face, sighed silently, and followed them out.
Lin Xiuqing pulled the quilt directly over her head and made up her mind not to let him touch her until midnight.
There are two or three people in the family. Whenever they are at home, they will keep calling her. If they don’t see her for a while, they have to look for her. The second and third children are still young and better. If Ye Chenghu breaks it, then
Embarrassed.
A Guang was sitting at the table with his feet up and playing with a lighter. When he saw Ye Yaodong coming out, he asked, "You just came back, President Ye?"
"Isn't it? I've been running back and forth. I just got home, finished eating and took a shower. I haven't even sat down yet when I got back to the room, and here you are again."
"How was this trip? Why did I hear that you went in again today?"
"It's not me, I don't have it, it doesn't include me."
"Then what was said is still true? Others went in again? Were they redeemed again?"
"I don't know if he was redeemed or not. He was just implicated and someone else was involved."
Ye Yaodong briefly told him that it was because he rented his house to others as a workshop, and the workers in their workshop exceeded the standard, so everyone was affected and went in together.
"That's fine. You've gained a lot from this trip."
"It's just so-so. At least it's not a wasted trip."
"Why is it that you are also President Ye? How many tables are you planning to set up?"
"Crazy, if I want to set up a few tables, people should tell me that I gave birth to another son outside."
"Hahaha……"
"I'll ask Ah Qing to prepare two dishes. Can I have some drinks?"
"No need. Didn't I just say that Sister-in-law is sick? It is indeed easier to get sick now that the season has changed. Don't worry about it. I just heard that you are back. I heard someone said that you have a nose and eyes again today. I just came over to chat. Last night.
Go up to dad and tell him everything you ask him, but don't mention the matter of going in."
Ye Yaodong also smiled, "This is not a glorious thing. My father definitely doesn't want to talk about it."
"Well, I have nothing to do. I just brought the kids here to play and see if you are back. Are you still going out tomorrow?"
"You shouldn't go out tomorrow."
"Oh, then you go and have a rest. You're back anyway. If you have enough rest tomorrow, we can have a drink together."
"good."
After sending the people away, Ye Yaodong went back to the house.
Lin Xiuqing was already neatly dressed and sitting at the table tidying up the table.
He walked over and hugged the person from behind, "I was scared to death, and I immediately became weak."
"Let's see if you do this next time. You don't even lock the door. You know how many children in the house are snoring."
"It's not just to see them having a good time outside. I just finished taking a shower and I was looking for clothes to change when I came in. It's not like my sperm is really in my head. I had already made up my mind to do this."
"Then you've been out for more than a month and haven't you really thought about this?"
"It's two different things. How could I not think about it? There is nothing I can do outside. Of course I will be in a hurry when I come back. Otherwise, I don't know how to wait until the child falls asleep? I just came in after taking a bath. I originally wanted to change clothes, but I was so confused when I saw you.
On the brain.”
"Hmph... don't make trouble. He will run in again later. If you are tired, go to sleep. I will go out and take a look."
"Forget it, you should lie down. You are already sick. Aguang should still be outside looking after the child."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Really."
"Forget it, let's lie down together. You're sick and I'm tired, so let's lie down together."
"Lock the door."
"Forget it, locking it will make you feel like there is no silver in this place. Your daughter hasn't even entered the house yet."
Ye Yaodong rubbed his weak body. He was shocked just now. He didn't have that thought now, but he could lie down and talk. There was no time to talk last night, so he fell asleep.
"Then don't move your hands or feet."
"I'm just touching, why not do anything else. Is there anything new happening in the village during this time?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't slap his hand away, so she let him go, and then told him about what happened in the village during this period. Only the incident she talked about at dinner last night was the big one, and the rest were trivial.
.
In such a big village, nothing major happened continuously in a short period of time.
"Oh, by the way, Aguang's sister Yingqiu has already made an agreement with Captain Chen. Captain Chen has already submitted a report and is just waiting for approval. It will be soon, right?"
"You move so fast?"
"Both of them are older, and Captain Chen has been in the army and there haven't been that many lesbians to contact. I've met and talked with both of them, and if they think it's okay, they will definitely make a decision quickly. But it hasn't been publicized yet.
Her parents have forgotten it. Yingqiu has already talked about kissing her several times, and every time she made a fuss, if she doesn't succeed this time, she will really have to die."
"Well, there's really no need to talk about it, and it's not about the surrounding villages anyway. Let's wait until it's finalized and we'll talk about it then."
"Also, my second brother said he also learned to drive a tractor from the tractor driver in the village."
Ye Yaodong was surprised, but he also thought it was pretty good, "It's good. I've learned how to buy a tractor when the time comes. It will be convenient for carrying customers to make money, or driving down the mountain to pull fruits."
"Yes, I went home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then my father mentioned it to my second brother. The next day, my brother carried two kilograms of pork to find a tractor in the village and learned to drive a tractor."
He thought for a while and said: "When the time comes, let him hire someone to take care of the hills and land at home, or rent it out directly and buy a tractor to haul goods in the city. There are always more opportunities in the city than in the countryside. There are always more opportunities in the city than in the countryside.
The demand for tractors will also be greater, and there are a lot of tractors and trucks coming and going in the market alone every day."
Drivers are still very popular these days. Driving a tractor in the city is much better than farming at home.
Most of the family has gone to the city, leaving his second brother to look after the house. By then the gap will be too big, and he will never feel so comfortable.
"That's what my father said. Although he also felt sorry for the land at home, he just said that he would ask relatives to take care of it first."
"Well, if you're worried that your skills won't be good, you can come and stay with us for a few days to practice. Other people's tractors are not just for practice, and the gas costs are a fortune."
"Then I'll talk to him then. I don't know how he's been studying in the past month. He should be able to do it."
"This is a simple thing. After learning it a few times, you can basically master it after driving two times. It's just a matter of whether you are familiar with it or not."
While the two couples were talking, the door was knocked again.
Ye Yaodong was lying outside, and Lin Xiuqing asked him to get up and open the door, "I'm sick, you go."
"Fortunately, I didn't do anything, otherwise I would have been so frightened that I became paralyzed."
She chuckled from behind.
He opened the door and saw that it was the old lady, "What are you doing?"
"I heard that Ah Qing is sick. It must be due to the wind blowing in the evening. It's cooler in the morning and evening. It's autumn. It's easy to catch a cold if the weather is not good. I made a bowl of ginger tea and drank it and made me sweat. I'll be fine tomorrow."
He took it with a guilty conscience, "It's nothing. She just said she had a headache. She could just lie down for the night and it would be fine tomorrow. Why bother?"
"Small problems can turn into big problems. If you drink a bowl of ginger tea now, you will be fine tomorrow. Otherwise, it may be more serious tomorrow, and it will be more troublesome to infect you and several children by then. The trend is not good recently, and you also
Don’t sleep shirtless. What should you do if you catch a cold at night?”
As she spoke, the old lady reached out and touched his arm, "Look, it's all cold. I'll give you a bowl too. You guys can drink an extra bowl, so don't take it seriously."
Ye Yaodong could only sigh in his heart and watched her run to make ginger tea again.
"I put brown sugar in it. It's sweet. It will taste delicious. Don't be reluctant. How about I peel some longan meat for you?" The old lady brought another bowl and coaxed him with a smile.
"No, don't bother."
Holding a bowl in one hand, he entered the room and placed it on the table.
"Get up, drink a bowl and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Lin Xiuqing was also speechless, "You move so fast, you lie, just watch."
"Isn't that what you said? Just treat it as a precaution against colds. When she heard about it, she immediately ran to make ginger soup, one bowl for each person. Don't waste it. She also added brown sugar to replenish your blood."
The couple resigned to their fate and each drank a bowl before Ye Yaodong took the bowl out again.
The old lady had already run out and called some children, asking them to drink ginger soup.
The old voice of coaxing and coaxing came into the house from outside, but every child was there shouting no, and then continued to play, no one cared about her.
Ye Yaodong frowned and walked out, watching people of all sizes running in the open space in front of his house. In the middle, there was a kid jumping on one foot to catch people.
He shouted, "You didn't listen to what you told me when you came back."
"What are you doing? Dad."
Ye Yaodong lightly patted the back of Ye Chengyang's head and said, "Come in and drink a bowl of ginger soup each. You didn't even listen to what you said. Are you ignoring me?"
"immediately."
When he called the three children, they all ran into the house, and the old lady also walked back slowly and happily.
Ye Yaodong shook his head and cursed in his heart. He was really idle.
Leaving the three little ancestors to the panicked old ancestor, he went into the house again.
"You feel so good. You can just lie down. You don't have to get up anymore. I still have to go back and forth in and out."
"Who knows, I just casually said it, and it was actually implemented. I blame you, too, for being so anxious. You will call them all back to sleep at almost 9 o'clock later, and by the way, open the doors and windows.
Check them all.”
Ye Yaodong climbed onto the bed and pressed directly on top of her, "Now everyone knows that you are sick, and no one will come in and disturb you."
Lin Xiuqing laughed.
He had just drank a bowl of thick ginger soup, and was feeling a little hot all over his body. He had recovered from his fright, but now he felt a little distracted when he pressed it.
"Is it hot? I think it's a bit hot. Take off your clothes. You don't have to go out if you're sick anyway. I'll go get some of you back to sleep later."
She smiled and patted him, "Is the door locked?"
"Locked."
The couple regained their composure and began to engage in their long-lost daily activities.
However, the battle was over in a few moments, and Lin Xiuqing believed that he had not eaten anything secretly during this period.
"Don't laugh."
"I didn't laugh."
"Your eyes and eyebrows are moving, but you're not smiling."
"I'm not smiling."
"Just wait for me until I calm down. I just haven't done it for too long."
"Yes, yes, you can say whatever you want. Get up first. Don't hold me down when you're done. Take it out."
Ye Yaodong was also depressed when she laughed at him, and he couldn't help but laugh, "It's like riding a horse."
"Lie down on the side and go up. I know you are just afraid that someone will come and knock on the door again. Let's make a quick decision." Lin Xiuqing teased him with a smile.
Ye Yaodong opened his palm, covered her face, and rubbed it back and forth.
Lin Xiuqing laughed and hid, then kicked him hard before getting up.
"Go and get me a basin of water. I'm sick."
"Damn! You really got the job done."
"Go quickly, I'm sick."
"Grass!"
Ye Yaodong glared at her and had no choice but to get up and lift his pants to get her water.
Lin Xiuqing did not forget to remind him later, "If the old lady sees this, tell me that I have a headache and can't get up, and fetch water for me to wash my feet."
"Then she has to grab it and say that I, a grown man, didn't do this. She'll do it."
"Uh... Then you just say that I drank ginger tea and I'm sweating. I feel uncomfortable. Give me some water to wipe it off."
"Too many things!"
Will definitely update during the day tomorrow
Chapter completed!
