Father Ye was sitting at home, and life came from heaven.

As soon as I returned to my home after dinner, I sat in front of my house and played with my private seal, bragging to my neighbors that it would come in handy in the future, when I was dragged away by a bunch of grandchildren running over.

"What? Your third uncle called you here? He can really give me jobs...I can't even take a breath..."

"I'm going to walk by myself. Don't pull me away. Don't rush me. I'll go take a look. I'll surround you when I get back..."

"You still need a scarecrow, why are you working so hard? You will find something for me to do every day..."

He babbled as he walked, "Fortunately, there are no banana trees planted. Otherwise, you would have to ask me to climb trees and cut bananas? How long can I keep working for you with my old bones?"

"If I plant banana trees, I won't need you..."

"Yes, all of you are monkeys."

…

After Ye Yaodong came in from the pier, he passed by the workshop and turned to his own workshop to watch everyone talking about killing fish in full swing.

They encountered a law enforcement ship arresting a smuggling fishing boat at sea. After one night, it had already spread to the public.

That's why he went directly to the sea this morning and didn't hear anything. He only heard it now.

However, no one thought that people around their village would be arrested. Everyone just gloated and talked about the misfortune, otherwise they would be sad.

It was also reported that they fished some foreign smoke from the water.

Let’s just say there is no wall that is airtight.

But he doesn't care, he doesn't care, if it can be spread there, it will be spread to the relevant departments in the city.

If something is fished out of the sea, one would not send people to spit it out with great fanfare. It is not a cultural relic, and the law is not perfect.

Moreover, the few cartons of cigarettes he caught were nowhere compared to the three large cartons of cargo that were detained.

The most everyone can do is spread the word around. These days there is little information, the news doesn’t circulate, and it can’t reach the city.

It’s so exciting now, but there will be other news in a few days.

"So, I still have to work for A Dong, and I can take advantage of whatever I get. I have never smoked foreign cigarettes in my life..."

"I don't think I've ever seen you before in my life."

"Indeed...who would be willing to take it out and smoke it."

"I think they all went to town to change money today."

"This can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money. It seems that A Dong has made a fortune again. I heard that A Guo and others are going to send their children to work abroad. All of them named Ye will be successful..."

"I heard that they have been raising money in the past two days. One of them can cost several thousand, so it won't break the bank. I met them yesterday and they said they were going to send two of them to work abroad."

"I heard that I borrowed money from A Dong. I should have borrowed it, right? With A Dong's help, what do you have to worry about?"

"I heard that it's easy to find jobs abroad. Making money is easier than drinking water. As long as you go abroad, you won't have to worry about food and drink."

"They also have relatives who are overseas Chinese..."

Where there are a lot of people, there are a lot of words. He listened to a lot just by walking around.

I don’t know what his father said to his second uncle yesterday?

He lifted his feet and walked home again.

The whole family had already eaten. They knew that he had gone to sea with Secretary Chen and didn't know when he would come back, so they didn't wait for him to eat. They just left the food for him to warm in the pot.

When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, she arranged food for him.

"How about kelp? Is it really ready to be harvested?"

"It's almost the same. Take care of it and leave it for another three to five days. It can still gain a little more weight. Let's collect it in a few days."

"Then do you still plan to charge 6 cents?"

"When I finish my meal, I'll call and ask about the price. It's still the same price without much change."

"How much quantity can be harvested from the offshore test field?"

"We can harvest about 89 to 10 tons per acre. The output is not low. If we collect them all, we should be able to get 300 tons, which is probably enough for them to work for more than half a month."

"If you dry 10 jins per jin, can you make 30 tons of it? If 1 jin is 6 cents, can you earn three to four thousand?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned when he heard how fast she calculated. His mind went blank for a moment.

But for just a moment, he forgot about it again. Anyway, that's how much his wife said she could sell, and it was almost the same amount.

By then, if a family works on more than a dozen acres, they can earn one to two thousand a year, which is quite a lot.

Workers earn 40 to 50 yuan a month, but they only earn 500 to 600 yuan in a year.

You can earn one or two thousand by cultivating kelp. Although the whole family can work together, if the population is large, you can also cultivate more, which is better than doing other things.

And it’s not like you work there all year round. It’s equivalent to working half a year and taking half a year off. You can also do other things at other times.

If it spreads, the whole village will start breeding, and it will soon become a famous and wealthy village in the county.

"This is only the first year. I'll take better care of it with experience in the coming year, so I might charge a little more."

Lin Xiuqing's face beamed with joy when she heard this, "That's great. You can earn one or two thousand yuan a year, which is better than anything else, and you don't have to leave your hometown."

"Not everyone in our village has a boat, there is little land, and there are more people than work. Many people can only survive on grains. Most of them are a family of more than ten people, all just trying to save a living.

Money is hard to come by.”

"Secretary Chen has been to our house several times in the past few days to see when you will come back. When I go out to buy meat, I can hear the villagers discussing when to harvest the kelp. They are all looking forward to it."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "If this batch of kelp is collected and sold at a good price, it will also be a political achievement of the village cadres. They will be proud of their faces when they go to the county to report to meetings."

"Then are you going to watch at home these days?"

"No, tell them to harvest in three to five days. They will naturally be busy themselves. Harvesting is also a big project. It will be good if it can be completed by May. I don't have time to wait at home until they have all harvested.

If I'm at home, I'll collect it; if I'm not at home, you'll collect it for him."

"good."

"I went out early in the morning, but my second uncle didn't come back? Did dad say anything?"

"No, mother is here at noon, what can dad say? How dare he say anything?"

"That's right, then just ignore him."

After having lunch, Ye Yaodong went around the workshop and wanted to take a nap, but who knew that Secretary Chen came to visit again.

He thought he was talking about kelp again, or urging him to ask about the price, but he didn't expect that he was here to talk to him.

"You are about to join the party. Prospective party members also have to pass the review. Smuggling is illegal. You can't do anything illegal and directly bear the cost of smuggling for him."

"Activists who join the party must set an example. Just let your second uncle's family run around."

"oh……"

Ye Yaodong responded casually and poured him tea first. His enthusiasm for joining the party was average, but he was beginning to find it troublesome and he had to go to the party school.

"Don't ignore it. Joining the party is a great thing. There has been a lot of buzz in the village in the past two days. I originally wanted to tell you this morning, but I forgot about it, so I made a special trip this afternoon."

"I went to talk to him yesterday and criticized him. He shouldn't make such a big fuss and cause a fuss."

Well, since they came to my door yesterday, it shows that it is not painful at all, and I know that the village committee cannot control it too leniently.

"I know, I'm not stupid. I just bear all the smuggling expenses for him. He's not my father. He's not my father, nor my ancestors."

"It's good to know. Everyone knows you are rich now."

"How much money does it take to be rich? The smuggling fee of more than 10,000 yuan is enough for me to have a boatload of children. What about the wealthy family?"

Secretary Chen's mouth twitched, "Are you still alive?"

"If we don't give birth, three will be enough to give us a headache."

"Well, that's good to know."

Ye Yaodong just thought that he would take as much as others would take. It would be nice to give him 5,000 yuan. How could he be so stupid that he gave out more than 10,000 yuan?

His father didn't even dare to open his mouth. If his second uncle dared to open his mouth, he would be kicked out and no one would say anything.

In other words, now that he is rich and famous, he has become president, and he is ready to join the party, so he must cherish his reputation.

What relatives and friends do is not a problem for them. They just follow what they do. There are definitely not many.

If something happens, you can't blame him. If you succeed, all your relatives and friends will support you. That's fine.

After Secretary Chen finished speaking, he left.

Ye Yaodong didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he would just tell him when he would come to see him again, and he didn't rush to give him money.

It's just that for two days in a row, he didn't see his second uncle come to the door again, which made him a little confused.

His father has been busy making scarecrows for the past two days, going up the mountain to chop bamboo, and surrounding the cherry grove for the children. He only comes here during meal time.

It was hard for him to ask in front of his mother, so he simply ignored it.

It was after his father peeled the bamboo, called their brothers for help, and brought some broken nets to surround the small cherry grove that he had time to talk to his father.

"Second uncle, have you got the money for smuggling?"

"I don't know, it should be almost done, right? I heard that your two cousins-in-law have been looking for people to join us for the past two days."

"It's so rare. I thought he had set his sights on me and asked me to give him 81,000 yuan."

"What?" Ye Yaohua exclaimed, "What is he dreaming about? Why do you think you are the God of Wealth for 81 million? It's not so easy to pick up money dropped from the sky."

Ye Yaopeng was surprised, then smiled and said, "You didn't want to borrow so much, did you? Dongzi was kidding, right?"

"You're just kidding me. If you dare to open your mouth, I'll call him out."

Ye Yaohua softened, "I was shocked. I really thought he had such a big face and thick skin."

Father Ye said: "How dare you borrow so much? He is not stupid. He really dares to open his mouth so much. Don't even think about it."

"What do you think he is doing at such a young age? A Guo and his brothers don't know how to do it? Do you want him to run around like this?" Ye Yaodong complained.

"He must have learned his lesson and told me instead of you. The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law rejected her outright two days ago. You ignored me and were busy with things in the past two days. He

He just kept telling me."

"What did he say?"

The other two brothers also asked the same question.

"You two have just bought a boat and haven't started making money yet. He can understand it even if you don't lend it. Dongzi doesn't seem to be easy to talk to, so he asked me to help. He said you are filial, and you will definitely listen to what I say.

.”

"He also said that we are not outsiders. We are all originally a family. Even if our bones and muscles are broken, we can't just help."

"Speaking of my relationship with his brother, my family has seen several sons become prosperous. He also hopes that he will be able to enjoy prosperity through his sons and grandsons in the future, so he asked me to help him to some extent."

"Other relatives and friends have also helped to some extent. We are the most promising here, so we have to help. This is what I said."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay, I can't say anything."

"Isn't that because you didn't pay attention to me? Mind your own business."

"Then you haven't come to your door in the past two days and haven't told me? Shouldn't I still be rushing to come and ask?"

"If you hadn't told me earlier, I already collected 500 yuan and gave it to him."

"Ah?" The three brothers all looked over in surprise.

"Did you borrow it?"

"My mother knows? The money she took?"

"Didn't Mom always tell us not to borrow it?"

"Shit, can she get the money?" Father Ye said angrily, "This is all private money that I secretly saved. The day before yesterday, I took the foreign cigarettes Dongzi gave me to the town to exchange for it.

500 is enough."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Why haven't you come to my door in the past two days? So dad, you have already given it to me? Are you quite rich?"

"Don't let your mother know, otherwise there will be a huge quarrel and I will be kicked out of the house."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Dad, you have saved too much private money, right?"

"Where do you think my private money comes from? Isn't it all given here and there? I secretly saved it all. Last year, I put it under my pillow and my mother took it away once. Otherwise, I could have had a little more.

.”

The two brothers were immediately embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything. They didn't have much money to give to their father, and they didn't even have much private money hidden away.

"Some other families borrowed 100, 200, or 50. The two families also borrowed their own money, and the maternal family probably borrowed them all. What your second uncle borrowed belongs to him, even though it was also given to him.

When the time comes, I will also ask your second uncle for money from those two families."

"Don't think about it, unless both grandsons make a lot of money abroad and come back in glory, he can pay back the money."

Once you lend the money, don't think about getting it back. It sounds like a loan, but in fact it's a help.

"I know you are telling the truth, but you have to think better."

"I'll go back and talk to Ah Qing later. I'll give you the 500 yuan and treat it as mine."

Father Ye held the bamboo in one hand and waved his hand, "Whatever you want to make up for, you gave it to me in the first place. I saved it bit by bit. If I lend it out, what's the point of getting another sum? You don't have to give it to me."

, when their conditions get better, I will have to ask your second uncle to pay me back."

"I originally thought that when he came to my door, he would definitely open his mouth, but I didn't expect that I could spend 500 yuan."

It was completely beyond his expectation, and it was a bit out of line with his second uncle's temperament. He used to wish he could pluck his body and suck his blood.

"500 yuan is quite a lot, but you are the only one who thinks it is too little. No one expects him to repay what he has given out, and there is no interest calculation, so how can he give more?"

"I also inquired specifically about it. Most of the money I asked was one or two hundred, and those who gave 200 were not much. Who can give away that much money?"

"In addition, many people don't believe what happened to Hiro before. Who knows whether the matter of going abroad is true or not? They are just talking about it."

"That's what I heard from them, and the contact person was given by you. In addition, our family did go to the provincial capital last year to worship our ancestors. We all know that there are a lot of relatives of overseas Chinese, so we gave the information with some suspicion.

"

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to even afford one or two hundred. After being cheated once, everyone is afraid. If they really go abroad, they will be willing to help a little, because they are afraid that it is a lie."

"So how dare he dare to open his mouth to us, a lion, and think that we are fools? If a real lion opens his mouth, he won't get even a cent. The 500 I can give is already a lot."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that what his father said made sense. Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Relatives and friends are not fools. They will help when they should, but they are afraid of being deceived. Some of them have been deceived once, so who is willing to take so much?

If I didn't know that the number was given from him and that the overseas Chinese relatives were genuine, they probably wouldn't believe it.

After all, no one in their village has gone abroad to work, and there has never been a wave of migrant workers. They have only heard of it.

His father's direct payment of 500 was almost equivalent to giving away all the three brothers' shares and protecting them from behind. His second uncle could not come to the house to borrow money from the three brothers in turn.

What's more, he avoided his mother's nagging dissatisfaction, and he came out secretly, and everyone was happy.

If one person suffers, the whole family will be at peace.

So no wonder it's been quiet for the past two days and no one comes to the door anymore.

Ye Yaohua said: "They can borrow some from their relatives and friends, and my wife will go back to her parents' house to talk about it, and they can borrow some."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Last year I went to Zhejiang Province to salvage jellyfish. Although I was fined a bit for going in, I didn't partner with other people later. I stayed for half a month longer, and I must have made a little money. Let's help chip in.

, it will definitely be no problem for their family to pool together 6,000 yuan.”

Father Ye said: "It must be no problem. Your second uncle is a very smart man. He must have saved some money over the years. How can your children go abroad without paying for it? You have to pay a lot of money, and everyone will do the rest.

Give it to him."

"That's it. After all the talking, I ended up emptying your coffin. But it's a good thing. You don't have to listen to your mother's nagging, and you don't have to worry about her finding out your private money and scolding her again." Ye Yaodong said with a smile.

"It's quiet. In the past two days since I came back, your mother has been whispering in my ears, saying that they almost borrowed money from the whole village. The whole village knew that their children were going abroad. They were obviously borrowing money. What happened?

It’s terrible to get the scenery.”

"Going abroad is indeed very beautiful."

“With all this trouble, I don’t know if I can go abroad to work.”

Ye Yaodong curiously asked: "After you gave the money, did you ask him when he would pay Lao Hai and when he would send the child away?"

"When I gave it, I probably hadn't collected enough, so I'm still having a meeting there now. He said that he would contact Lao Hai after he collected enough money, and then he would arrange a time so that they could send the child there and then meet in person.

Pay the money."

"oh."

"I don't know if it's worth it. The two families spent all their money and borrowed money from relatives before sending their two children to work abroad."

"Let's see, if we can successfully go abroad, with overseas Chinese taking care of us, it shouldn't be too bad. Let's see if we can make it happen."

"I hope it can happen, otherwise it will be in vain."

There were only four of them, father and son, talking and busy planting bamboos and hanging fishing nets.

At this point, the words came to an end for the time being, but Ye Yaopeng hesitated and spoke again.

"You said that if my second uncle can go abroad and work successfully, can we also send our children to work abroad?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest brother in surprise, "I want to take a chance. What are you trying to do? Your family's life is pretty easy. You have a big boat. Why take that risk?"

"Haha, let me tell you, don't they all take one by one, and even half the village has been taken abroad?"

"As long as Ah Hai graduates, he will have a stable job. When Cheng Ha is older, he can go out to work with you and take over your class. When his daughter is older, she can also help with housework. Isn't this all a blessing?

Is that so? Sending the child away, who knows how many years they will see each other again? It’s not like life is unbearable, we have to count on the child to work abroad to earn money to support the family."

Ye Yaodong didn't quite understand his elder brother's brain circuit.

"You're right. During this time, I heard the villagers talking about it. They all think that it is good to go abroad. As long as you go abroad, you will have a great future. I also thought that if my second uncle's children can work well abroad, we can also do it.

Send the kids out."

"You are advocating for foreigners. Although it is good to be an overseas Chinese and there are various loose policies, life at home is quite easy. There is nothing wrong with living a comfortable life. A person is still a child in a foreign country. How can I

It’s good to have family around.”

"Well, what Dongzi said is true. You must have a hard time being alone outside. It's hard to make phone calls and it's inconvenient to contact you. Think about it, you're still a child. There's no need for our family."

"Okay dad, my wife at home is a little envious and has her thoughts on it, and I was also affected."

"Don't listen to your wife, she has long hair and short knowledge. She still feels glamorous and good even if she borrows money everywhere. Just say a few words and she will be given 1,000 yuan. If she is cheated, she will have to count the money."

He also said he was a nice person."

Ye Yaopeng immediately shut up.

Ye Yaohua didn't dare to speak either.

Otherwise, he might have to be scolded by his father when the time comes. If his relatives go abroad and have no money to help, the scammer can give him 1,000 yuan with just a few words.

After they had nothing to say, their work efficiency also skyrocketed.

Ye Yaodong looked at the cherries he planted casually, but he didn't expect that they could grow into a small forest and bear fruit, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

It was all just a little fuss, and he didn't care much about it. The child remained enthusiastic, and now he can still eat it.

"Their names are all engraved on these tree trunks, so they will be easy to identify when the time comes."

"Just let them pick it themselves."

"When I was a child, I planted a banana tree on the mountain, but it was trampled to pieces by wild boars. But they planted it in a decent way..."

Everyone changed the topic and talked about the events of their childhood. They all laughed easily and were full of memories.

The four father and son had been working for half an afternoon and built a circle around the slope. Now they were not afraid that the village children would run in and steal the harvest.

Although there are still ways to do it, adding an extra fence can make 80% of people retreat.

Spring is here, and there are fruit trees everywhere in the mountains and plains. It doesn’t have to be here, any big movement can be seen by the beach.

After Ye Yaodong returned home, he also told Lin Xiuqing that Ye's father secretly took out 500 yuan.

Lin Xiuqing was making dinner and was surprised, "Dad is so rich? How can he save so much money under my mother's nose if he is capable?"

"We are really good at it. We three brothers occasionally show it to him, and he keeps it secretly. This time I salvaged cigarettes from the sea. I broke one and gave each of the boatmen a pack. The rest was given to dad.

He took it to the town to exchange for money, and then he got enough."

He didn't dare to say that his father's private money was exposed from between his fingers.

Avoid unnecessary trouble!

Women are petty and can compare, so they have to be careful. It is really a lot to save 500 yuan from him.

If the three brothers leaked together, there would be nothing to say.

"That's fine, let dad go out and don't let mom know, and she won't have any objections."

"We also said the same thing in the afternoon. I also said that I would pay for it and give 500 yuan to dad. But dad said no, it was saved from us anyway, and he will ask his second uncle to pay it back when the time comes."

"Dad, there's no place to spend money anyway. We have to eat and drink at our expense. At most, we can smoke a hookah or get some pocket money for the child. Give him 500. Mom will make a fuss if she finds out, so you don't need to give it to me, right?"

"Well, if he says no, then don't use it."

"It looks gloomy and windy today. I feel like it's going to rain soon. Go to the workshop and take a look. Put away the dried fish that need to be collected quickly, just in case. By the way, check the nylon on the top.

Cloth, I don’t know if the wind will get stronger. If it gets stronger, I have to put the nylon cloth away to prevent it from being blown away."

"good."

Ye Yaodong picked up the teapot and poured a large sip of tea into the spout before going back to the workshop.

There are usually signs of heavy rain.

Fortunately, it was a thunderstorm. It rained all night and cleared up the next day.

It's just that a lot of cherries were knocked to the ground by the heavy rain at night, which made all the children feel bad, so they picked them up and then went to school slowly.

In line with the principle of not wasting, Ye Xiaoxi specially washed the cherries and fed them to chickens, ducks and dogs.

It's just that they are all very green, so there are no poultry to eat. They are all sour, except for the greedy human cubs.

The duck had already rushed into the sea with its flippers on early in the morning, so how could it possibly pay attention to her?

She could only catch chickens and chase dogs in the yard, causing chickens to fly, chicken feathers falling everywhere, and dogs barking.

It had rained before, and the yard was in a mess everywhere, but now it was even more messy.

However, Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing ran to the workshop early in the morning to check whether the rain yesterday had affected any dried fish, and no one could control her.

The old lady could only scream at the side, and then hurriedly opened the courtyard door and let the chickens and dogs run out.

"The hen is still hatching chicks inside. Don't make trouble here, otherwise the hen will be frightened and won't be able to hatch the chicks."

"Ah? Then I'll hatch the chicks..."

"Don't be naughty, go out and play by yourself."

Ye Xiaoxi said with a mournful face, "I fell down this morning and fell into a puddle. My mother didn't let me go out."

"Then you can't mess with chickens and dogs?" The old lady was so worried that she quickly grabbed her and took away the broken bowl in her hand.

"Give it to them. They will eat the leftover vegetables and bones at home."

"Hey, let's go. I'll take you to buy something to eat."

"Then I'll feed Doudou."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoes, grabbed the bowl in the old lady's hand, reached out and grabbed a handful and put it in her pocket.

The old lady couldn't stop it in time and just watched helplessly.

"One moment I feed the chickens and dogs, and the next I feed the children next door."

“Can’t waste it!”

"Why don't you eat it yourself?"

"No, no, it's so sour." She shook her head like a rattle and took the old lady's hand, "Let's go and buy some candies~"

The old lady had no choice but to wait and throw away the cherry in her pocket while she was not paying attention.

This is not the first time this kid has done this.

Before, I went to the back door to pick up sheep excrement and filled two full pockets for a little boy named Doudou nearby.

Later, my mother came to ask about it. She also said that Doudou knew about it, but she loved to eat it, which almost made her mother angry to death.

Because of this, Lin Xiuqing gave her a beating and a lesson, and then she burst into tears and said that she was sharing and taking care of her friends.

The old lady educated her as she walked, "You know you can't give things you don't want to others?"

"Why?"

"You must take good things when giving them to others. If you don't want them yourself, if you give them to others, they won't be happy if they get them."

"Doudou is so happy. I gave him the cakes that I didn't want to eat. He is so happy."

The old lady had nothing to say for a moment. Whose child is as happy as theirs? Snacks and candies are available almost every day.

Other people's children are fine if they have food to eat. Ye Xiaoxi can still give other children a bite of food when they watch her eat and drool, and she can't say that she is wrong.

Come to think of it, she didn't say anything either.

At least this time it was unripe cherries, not sheep shit.

The unripe green fruit is sour, but even greedy children will eat it.

But after the couple was done with their work, she would inevitably have to file a complaint.

But before she could complain, at lunchtime, Lin Xiuqing watched the hens come out of the chicken coop where they were hatching eggs, and started feeding the chickens.

After she finished feeding the chickens and was about to go inside to cook, out of the corner of her eye she saw Ye Xiaoxi entering the utility room on the first floor and already stepping into the chicken coop where the eggs were hatched.

"What are you doing?" As she spoke, she had already gone in and grabbed her clothes.

"Help hatch the chicks?"

"Oh, my ancestor, what kind of chicks can you hatch? Get out quickly, Ye Yaodong, Ye Yaodong..."

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you calling me by your first name?"

Ye Yaodong had been busy in the workshop all morning. As soon as he got home, he wanted to go into the house and lie down for a while, when he heard his name was Ye Yaodong.

He was shocked. He thought he had done something outrageous, but he even called him by his first name. He panicked and ran out immediately.

"Look at your daughter, my God, she is going to help the hens hatch chicks. Just take care of her. As soon as I see her or hear what she is doing, I get a headache."

Ye Yaodong lowered his head to look at her, and she also raised her head, looking at him innocently with her black grape-like eyes. The father and daughter stared at each other with big eyes.

How do you teach him this?

A pair of innocent eyes looked at him, but he could not criticize her. He could only think about how to explain this common sense to her.

"Let's go, let's go find your old lady..."

"I asked you to teach her and take care of her."

"knew."

The old lady was sitting at the door picking vegetables. When she heard the noise, she stood up immediately.

"Hey, let me go outside to take a look. Several children ran to see the cherry tree. Why haven't they come back yet? The vegetables that have been here for a long time are in the basket. You can pick them..."

"Ah... there is another one here..."

"Alas, year by year, as I get older, my ears are getting a little hard to use. Alas, I am getting older..."

Ye Yaodong looked down at Ye Xiaoxi again, "No one wants you anymore."

Ye Xiaoxi quickly hugged his thigh tightly, "Dad... don't leave me..."

"Don't be naughty, you know?"

"Know."

"In a few months, I'll let you herd sheep in the mountains, do you want me?"

"Okay, okay."

Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief and thought he could just go to the mountains to herd sheep.

Look at Yangyang, you have been herding sheep in the mountains for two years. How sensible are you now?

It happens that in the second half of the year, he will be 7 years old and will have to be sent to first grade, and the family's few sheep will take over for her.

It would be great if there was a kindergarten, and there would be a place to put Ye Xiaoxi, who is already three years old.

Sometimes she's cute and tight, sometimes she's disgusting. Children can't sit there quietly. They're not fools, they're all naughty and mischievous. However, they adults are busy and often can't watch her.

Ye Yaodong sat where the old lady had just been sitting, and invited Ye Xiaoxi to help pick vegetables. He also taught her what to do and what not to do, and then told her common sense about chickens and ducks, as well as the precautions for herding sheep.

.

Thinking about it, I might as well let Yangyang take her to the mountains to herd the sheep tomorrow, so that she can get acquainted with her in advance and avoid being disgusted by the dog at home.

At lunch, Ye's father came over to eat and talked about the night sailing. By the way, Uncle Ye also said that Uncle Ye wanted to ask them if they had docked in the provincial capital in the past two days and wanted to take a free boat.

"He's so beautiful. He doesn't want to go out to sea to fish, and why should he send them on a special trip?"

Father Ye glared at Mother Ye, "I just asked them, and I said they would not dock until the warehouse is full. If they can wait, they can get on the boat and wait for two days. If they can't wait, there is nothing they can do."

Mother Ye pursed her lips in disgust, but didn't say anything.

Ye Yaodong asked: "Have they raised enough money?"

"I have raised enough, so I asked if we could take a ride on a car or boat. I told Lao Hai that I had made an agreement with Lao Hai to go to the provincial capital in advance in three days. I thought we would go to sea in the next two days, so I came over to ask.

.”

"When the tractor at home is pulling goods, we can give them a ride, take them to the city, and let them take the car to the provincial capital. If we take a boat, we will have to fill up the warehouse before we can dock. We go fishing at night, and we don't know where we will arrive.

The harvest was good at that time, and there were also wind and waves, so it was not that coincidental."

Ye Yaodong also seeks truth from facts.

He is indeed going to the provincial capital in the near future to take the new trademark to a plastic bag factory and order a new batch of fish sauce packaging bags with the trademark.

But he must have put his own needs first. After filling his warehouse with fish, he would go to the provincial capital to sell the goods and get things done on the way.

"Okay, if people are delayed due to wind and waves or something, we will have to blame them and let them go by themselves."

"Um."

"In the morning they had already killed chickens and ducks and bought pig heads and tails to worship Mazu."

"As long as Mazu agrees and parents agree, it has nothing to do with the visa center."

"What?"

"Bless your journey to Mazu."

Father Ye understood this.

"Well, after worshiping Mazu, I will go to worship the Earth God and the Earth Goddess. I will also worship the Kitchen God and Goddess of Heaven in the evening. Tomorrow I will go to worship Guanyin again."

The old lady hurriedly said: "Yes, I want you to pay homage to all the gods and goddesses. Please give me more blessings. I have to spend all my money to send my two children out and pray to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. I will also chant sutras for them later."

Stay safe."

Mother Ye interjected: "It's strange that this time I didn't shamelessly come to ask you for help. Before, I had already brought out all my ancestors."

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father looked at each other.

Father Ye said angrily: "You look like you're afraid of death. You're already worried about borrowing money before someone comes to your door. It's okay now. It's a slap in the face."

"Tch, I'm too late to be happy. I just feel like the sun is coming out in the west. It's so rare. In the past, whenever we had the opportunity, we would come to our door and ask us to help them. This time, we want to send our children abroad. It's a perfect opportunity.

I’ve borrowed it all over the village, but no one has come to my door, which is so strange.”

"This is not good. You were worried about people coming to your door before, but now you feel that they are not coming, and you are disappointed?"

Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile: "Mom, I thought that if I had already prepared a lot, there would be no use for it. What a pity."

Mother Ye was amused by him, "Nonsense, it's better not to come, it saves trouble. In order to avoid being said that the richer we are, the stingier we are. All our relatives and friends have contributed a little bit. Just so we don't pay a penny..."

"You know it too!"

Mother Ye glared at him, "Didn't they come to the door now? Even better, no wonder we didn't pay. I also thought, if they come to the door and say something more polite, I can't explain it, and they will be more or less the same as everyone else.

a little……"

Father Ye: "..."

His 500 yuan!

500 yuan!

My heart was bleeding instantly.

The meat in my mouth suddenly lost its flavor...

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but look at Father Ye.

I saw that Ye's father was extremely heartbroken, but he still pretended that nothing was wrong, and his heart ached for a moment.

His father is a bit pitiful...

I have been saving my personal money for a long time.

I could have held it in my hand...

It’s all filled in, and I can’t say it yet. I can only shed tears into my stomach...

Ye's father was heartbroken, but he could only hold back. He said angrily: "You know everything, and you are like Ming Jing in your heart. You know that it is not good for us not to pay, but you still act like this."

"Did you already think that you have to pay for everything? You just vented your dissatisfaction in advance, nagging this, nagging that..."

Ye's mother didn't care about his anger at all and said: "I'm not happy, why don't I lose my temper? I can't lose my temper at home? How can I still be happy when someone borrows money from me?"

Borrow it?"

"It must be done to save face, and then after everyone else has borrowed it, we will borrow a little more based on others."

"I originally thought that the two elders of us would lend them some money, and they would be too embarrassed to ask the three brothers to borrow money. Otherwise, the two families would borrow money from all three brothers. In total, we would not be able to borrow a total of 6

Second-rate?"

Mother Ye slapped the table, "What a beautiful idea!"

"As far as Dongzi is concerned, he is a big eater! Let's follow the example of others and give a little bit as a help, so we don't have to give so much."

Father Ye: His 500 yuan!

My heart hurts even more.

He obviously wanted to go together, so why did he have to pay for it with his own money?

He wasn't heartbroken at first, but hearing these words made him feel very uncomfortable.
