Ye Yaodong has been resting at home for three days in a row, unable to go out to sea. After the New Year, it feels even colder and the wind is stronger. The spring breeze in February is like scissors. He feels that it is still winter and there is no spring breeze.
When I went to sea a few days ago, the sun was still shining, and I could clearly feel the temperature rising. The weather forecast for the past two days has been reporting frost, the temperature has dropped to zero degrees, and the wind has reached level 4.
When I get up early, I can see that the vegetable fields are covered with a thick layer of frost, and the windows are covered with white mist.
If you open the window even slightly, the cold wind will rush in and shiver you.
Ye Xiaoxi woke up early. Both the couple felt cold and were still lying in bed reluctant to get up, but she insisted on getting up and going out to play.
She even put on her own clothes, but the neckline of the sweater was too small and her head was too big. So she put it on by herself, but as a result, she was covered and couldn't breathe.
She screamed in fright, waving her hands wildly, "Help, it's stuck, it's stuck."
Lin Xiuqing quickly sat up and pulled down her sweater.
"Look at you, after a new year, the flesh on your face will droop again, and your head will become bigger."
"You have such a big head, how can you still use it like this?" Ye Yaodong muttered.
Ye Xiaoxi casually wiped the messy hair on his face, then smiled again and put on his clothes and pants.
But she still needed Lin Xiuqing to pull down her shrunken autumn clothes and trousers.
After finishing it, she climbed out of bed, stepped on the stool by the table, and played with the fog on the window.
She stretched out her index finger and drew a smiling face on the window, and then drew a crying face. She also drew a sun casually, and drew a bunch of kittens and puppies...
After I finished drawing, I reached out to erase these, put my head up, breathed out, and let the white mist condense on the window again, amusing myself, and having a lot of fun alone.
Ye Yaodong pulled the quilt up to his neck and tucked it tightly at the corners, "She should be allowed to sleep with the old lady. It's so cold and she got up so early."
After speaking, he also asked about it.
It would be better if he wanted to, so that he wouldn't have to dare to make any noise all day and night.
"No, you go and sleep with Mrs. I want to sleep with Mom."
"I slept with your wife when I was a child, so you can go too. Your second brother often sleeps with your wife. Do you want to..."
"No, no, no, no..."
Lin Xiuqing said: "Don't forget it. When I was beaten, I knew how to hide behind your wife. When you are older, you can sleep upstairs alone."
"OK."
"It's time to get up, it's past 7 o'clock."
"It's still early, the sky is gray."
"The weather has been like this for the past two days. I have to take a look at the workshop. Fortunately, with Holly's help, I don't have to get up so early to remember people."
"Then since I've hired someone to do it, I'll do it less. In this kind of weather, I can stay at home if I can."
The sky was gray and the wind was blowing cold. Even his parents were too lazy. They hadn't come over for dinner for two or three days. They just wanted to open a small stove at home and make whatever they wanted to eat. There were only two of them anyway.
It was a cold day and it was not worth the cold wind to come all the way just to have a meal. The two of them had nothing to do and didn't even want to step out.
Except for those who have to go out to work for a living, they usually stay at home in this kind of weather, sitting in front of the stove and warming themselves by the fire.
The cold wind is biting, winter is very cold now, and the four seasons will be distinct. Unlike the greenhouse effect in the future, winter will not look like winter at all.
The private seals he brought back have not yet been taken to his parents, and are still thrown away in the drawer.
There's no rush anyway, in this kind of weather, there's no place for them to show off.
Lin Xiuqing couldn't put it down because of the private seal engraved with her name. She even printed it and played with it for a long time before she was willing to put it away. But when she opened the drawer and saw it, she would take it out and take a look.
"Don't be lazy, get up and have breakfast, then go back to sleep after eating."
"Yeah." Ye Yaodong responded, but his body remained honest and motionless.
Lin Xiuqing didn't care about him. After getting dressed, she took her child out to wash up. She also had to go to the workshop to have a look. She wasn't as comfortable as he could lie down all the time.
There is also a student at home who can’t get up every day and doesn’t want to go every day. But on weekends, no matter it’s windy, rainy or hailing, he gets up earlier than chickens.
You have to go take a look at this. You have to drag people up and drive them out to school.
In the room, she had already heard the scolding coming from next door, as well as the sound of going up and down the stairs. No one was not scolded.
Ye Yaodong originally thought of waiting for two more days before going to the city to check on the delivery status of the barrels and vats. The delivery date was almost here, and he kept remembering it.
Once the containers have been delivered to the factory, he will arrange for people to take the goods there for fermentation, and his wife will also help him invite the people.
It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the change. It had been gloomy for a few days, and suddenly it started to rain lightly. Now they couldn't even get out, and they were all upset.
Fortunately, the weather forecast was accurate this time. They received it a day in advance and even covered it with nylon cloth overnight.
There was not enough sun in the workshop, so the ones that were exposed to the open space nearby were taken back and hung casually in the workshop, as long as they could keep out the rain.
And they also asked the women to handle all the goods one night in advance.
That is to say, they now have more people, and there are a lot of people helping when they open their mouths, so they don't seem so panicked.
It had been raining for two days and the temperature had just risen a little, and it had just cleared up for two days. Before they could relax, there was another thunder. Fortunately, they did not relax, and the nylon cloth was still hanging on the workshop.
Ye Yaodong felt in his heart that it was not a problem to rely on pure natural drying every day, but now there is no way. Even if he can get electrical appliances, the voltage is not good, so he can only make do with it now.
Building a simple drying room is only a drop in the bucket for him. The amount of dried fish he produces is too large, so he has to make do with drying it and wait two years. Anyway, he can still make money now.
At worst, you have to compete with God for food.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief until the rain stopped. Of course, it was inevitable that some fish would not be dried because they were wet and smelly.
After the rain stopped, they really started to get busy. Lin Xiuqing asked the 10 or so workers regularly hired in the workshop to help pick out all the smelly dried fish.
Fortunately, their family now has a large business and can afford such losses.
The dried fish that was picked out was not thrown away directly. It could be mixed with pig grass and fed to the two sisters-in-law's pigs, or chopped into pieces and fed to the geese and dogs at home.
Also because their workshop is constantly drying fish every day, the area around their workshop has also attracted stray cats from villages all over the country. They all surround their workshop and meow every day.
Preliminary estimates suggest that there are about a dozen of them, and there are usually people watching them all day long, but no stray cats have harmed those goods.
Lin Xiuqing would often throw in some stale fish to feed, but it looked a bit like the signs of a domestic cat getting closer.
Now there is a lot of smelly dried fish, and the cats' recent food rations have also been secured.
Ye Xiaoxi has always been Lin Xiuqing's follower, not to mention that after being locked up at home for several days without going out, how could he stay after the rain stopped and the sun cleared.
Looking at a bunch of stray cats that looked like drowned rats, she asked Lin Xiuqing, and after getting permission, she picked up a handful of stinky dried fish and threw them into a basket, squatting in a corner to feed them.
In just an instant, she was surrounded by more than a dozen stray cats of various colors, and it was too late to feed her.
Each one of them made a soft meowing sound eagerly, and she stroked one and comforted the other.
Ye Yaodong also planned to go to the city when the rain stopped, but he happened to be blocked by the fat man at home, so he had to take him with him.
As soon as he entered the workshop and was about to drive the tractor, he saw his daughter's pockets were full of dried fish, she was holding a lot in her arms, and she was surrounded by stray cats.
"What are you doing?"
"Dad, can we take the cat home and raise it?"
"Do you think your home is a zoo? You don't have to look at how many dogs you have at home, and you have to raise cats, so what's the point? You have to give them all the dried fish."
"But mom said you can feed her."
"If it's broken, you can feed it as you like. Stay away from these cats. It's unhygienic and too dirty."
Ye Xiaoxi looked down at his muddy rain boots, the mud on his knees, the mud on his sleeves, and the mud on his buttocks.
The cotton-padded jacket on my body has been scratched here and there by the cats around me, and it doesn't look any cleaner than these cats.
"I'm dirty too. I'm just like a cat, so we can hug and get dirty together."
As she said this, she hugged her and kept pushing the dirty cat that was eating dried fish into her arms.
With this hug, the clothes on her body were even worse, and even touched her face.
Ye Yaodong immediately stopped looking, "Aqing...Aqing...look at your daughter..."
The fat man looked at it happily, "Your daughter looks no different from these cats. She is also a small tabby cat. You want your daughter to be my daughter-in-law from now on? I don't even have a daughter."
"Stay where you want to cool off, it's just what your two fat guys want."
"Isn't your family also a little fat guy? My son won't dislike it."
"I'll kill you with one blow, and your whole family will be fat."
When Lin Xiuqing saw that she hadn't seen her for a while, Ye Xiaoxi could feed a cat all over her body, and she was furious.
"Ye Xiaojiu!"
The busier the adult is, the more trouble she can cause.
Ye Xiaoxi looked at her sullen face, picked up a kitten, and hid behind the fat man in fear.
She felt that her biological father could not save her at this time. After all, it was her biological father who called her to beat her.
"Abba, help me, Mom said I can feed you..."
Ye Xiaoxi looked at her trotting over and almost cried, "You said it could be fed... you said it, you said it..."
The fat man hurriedly protected him and said with a smile: "Oh, what's the big deal? If it's dirty, it's dirty. Who's child is not dirty? Since I told her that she can feed stray cats, then let her play with them. They're all done anyway."
If it’s dirty, take it back and wash it when you’re done, and you’ll have a clean fat baby again.”
Ye Xiaoxi quickly put back the tears that were about to fall down and nodded.
Because she was naughty, she was beaten frequently after the Chinese New Year, so much so that she was beaten too frequently, and now she also knows what it means to be afraid.
Seeing how pitiful she was, Ye Yaodong also regretted filing a complaint.
"How about letting her play with it? It's dirty anyway, and it doesn't look any cleaner than those cats. When you're done, you can take it back and wash it."
Ye Xiaoxi nodded like he was pounding garlic, "Yes, I can still ask for it, and the cat will also wash it."
"It's good that I didn't hit you. You're not allowed to hug me anymore. I'll take care of you when I have my hands free."
"I'll go to the city with Fatty and take Wang Guangliang with me. I'm not sure if I'll be back today."
"knew."
I feel so tired today, I didn’t sleep enough, and I feel groggy. Last night, my classmates from college came and took them to go shopping and eat. I came back to code and went to sleep until about 2 o’clock, but I woke up at about 7 o’clock, and took them with me again after 9 o’clock.
People go out.
Yesterday, my aunt came again. She had a sore back and waist all day today. I took a nap after seeing her off in the afternoon. I slept for a while again at night, but now I feel that it is too late to write.
I'll make up for it tomorrow. I'll make up a chapter during the day and another 7,000 at night.
Chapter completed!
