When Ye Yaodong went to Xiaoxiao's home, the dishes had been set out on two tables, and most of the people were here, except for a few empty seats.
Anyway, it was a common meal, and there was no need to be so particular about having to wait for everyone to gather. He sat with a few friends and chatted while eating.
There were too many people at this time, so it was not suitable to talk about sensitive topics. Everyone just joked and joked.
The fat man was absent for dinner yesterday, but he came here specifically today. During the chat, he mentioned that he has made less money this year. He had lost weight and his belly has returned, and he has become more muscular and round. You can tell from a glance that he will have a lot of money this year.
.
Ye Yaodong happened to be sitting next to him, and the two brothers patted his belly nicely, "Look at how fat you are, you have to thank me."
"Yes, thank you for eight generations of ancestors for allowing me to make money."
"Be sincere."
Ye Yaodong held a cigarette between his fingers and gestured to him.
"no problem!"
The fat man cheerfully took out the lighter and lit the cigarette for him like a bitch, "I can light cigarettes for our Dong brother for the rest of his life."
"Oh, why bother? Next year it's my turn to light up the fat boss's cigarettes."
"Then where can we, Brother Dong, light up his cigarettes?"
"You two, stop blowing. It's my turn to light cigarettes for you two."
The fat man laughed and said, "Come on, you are all boarding the big ship. You will make more money next year. Don't talk about lighting cigarettes then. I will carry your bags instead."
"You're talking about Dongzi! Now we only ration Dongzi's bags."
"Stop bragging, wait until I earn back the 200,000 yuan loan from the bank."
"Isn't this a matter of minutes to you?"
The fat man said: "Dongzi, I really admire you more and more. You are really brave. I haven't earned 200,000 in a year, but you dare to borrow 200,000."
"Look, it's exposed! He opened his mouth and said that he didn't earn 200,000 yuan, instead of saying that he didn't earn 20,000 yuan. It seems that at least it is tens of thousands of yuan, or hundreds of thousands of yuan."
"No, no, no...haha, I have three brothers, divided between three."
"Oh, it seems that I was right. If the three brothers are divided, then you also have the lion's share. You are really fat now. Seeing that you were still chasing me back then, and you blamed me for losing weight for you. Now
You must have eaten a lot of meat."
"Ah, drink and drink..."
The fat man laughed and slapped him in the eyes, quickly poured him wine and blocked Ye Yaodong's mouth.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively.
Everyone has made money this year, the mood is high, everyone is carrying the sedan chair, and everyone is happy.
The meal lasted from dawn to midnight, but their house was still very lively.
However, most of them had finished eating and drinking, and then left one after another. Only a few of them stayed until the end.
Ye Yaodong restrained himself a little today. He drank too much yesterday and woke up the next day feeling extremely uncomfortable. It took him a long time to recover.
Originally, the rice wine they brewed at home has a high alcohol content. Yesterday, everyone worked hard into it like they were desperate, and they couldn't get back until they were drunk.
Everyone was taking it easy today, mainly chatting, and mainly talking about Fatty. After all, they all talked yesterday, Fatty was not here yesterday, and the topic of the evening was basically about Fatty.
When it was almost done, he told them about Hong Wenle's loan.
As for whether they were able to borrow money and how much they could borrow, he didn't know. He had to let them ask on their own.
"Only ten or twenty thousand?"
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is fine, it's enough to buy a boat."
"Yeah, it's not bad to be able to borrow ten thousand yuan for a household, it's better than nothing."
"Ten thousand or twenty thousand is a lot. You think everyone is a jackpot, and you are so calm about taking out a loan of 200,000. It makes me panic."
"That's right. Ten or twenty thousand is not bad. You don't have to advance money yourself. You can go to Zhou City and earn back in less than a year. It's a good deal."
Seeing how optimistic their discussion was, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but pour cold water on them.
"Don't think so well. Going overseas is risky. You don't know it. Just refer to when we were in Vancouver this year. Take your time and think more before making a decision. It's not that easy to make money."
A Guang said: "There are risks, we know this, but don't you want to book a big ship, and then several ships will come in and go out at the same time, at least there will be care, at least it will be safer than before?"
Ah Zheng also smiled and said: "We won't panic if it's ten thousand or twenty thousand."
Xiaoxiao said: "The main thing is that if you can afford it, if you can't afford it, you will panic and don't dare to do it."
"Then just think about it and ask yourself when the time comes. I won't say anything more."
Make your own decisions about your own affairs.
"If we had known about it one day earlier, we might have gone to the city earlier yesterday to ask, but now we have to make another trip."
"Maybe it's not just one trip, but many trips. Fortunately, I'm very free now, and there's still more than half a month left until the end of the year."
Ye Yaodong said: "Then you just take your time."
"We'll discuss it tomorrow and see when we can make a trip. It just so happens that the new ship is coming back and my hands are itchy. Just looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable. We can go directly to the city."
"If you drink wine at night, you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow. You can discuss it tomorrow."
"Come on... have a drink... bless us to make a fortune in the coming year."
"Peace and prosperity..."
We agreed to take it easy in the evening, but after the drinking, how could we still take it easy?
Ye Yaodong came home drunk and was scolded again.
He smiled and shamelessly hugged Lin Xiuqing and kissed her wildly, leaving her unable to argue with a drunkard.
You should take good care of him when you need to take care of him, clean him, put him to bed, and let him sleep peacefully.
When I woke up the next day, I started talking about it again.
Ye Yaodong's left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to hearing people talk about it, including an old lady and his mother.
Now there's just one more person to talk about. Anyway, his mother doesn't live with him anymore, so he talks about it less. It's not bad if it's his wife who talks about it.
"A Hai ran over to you at dawn and squatted at the door until just now when he went to work. Now A Jiang is squatting at the door."
"The two brats are so active."
"You promised to teach them how to drive a motorcycle, but they are not enthusiastic? If only they had this interest in studying, would they still be able to pass the college entrance examination?"
"Forget it, get up and get up, don't lie down anymore."
"You are too idle, looking for trouble for yourself and teaching them how to drive a motorcycle."
"Idle time is idle. It doesn't matter if you give me a lesson. Which boy is not interested in motorcycles? Once they learn how to do it, they will be the most handsome boys in the village!"
He is also experienced. What man doesn't like motorcycles, especially teenagers at this age, which is the age when they like to show off.
If he were sixteen or seventeen years old and someone took him to play like this, he would be so happy that his bohemian youth would be complete and would be the best memory of his life.
"Without learning, they are already the most famous kids in the village. What novelty toys and balls have they had in the past two years? All the children in the village are running around them, and their words are better than those of other children.
Everything my parents said works."
"Sure, if I had a football when I was a kid, the kids in several nearby villages would have to listen to my orders."
"If you had played football when you were a kid, all the girls from the nearby villages would have joined you, let alone knowing how to ride a motorcycle. You could have had 10 wives at home, so who would get me?"
"Aha!"
Ye Chenghe, that bastard, wait and see how he deals with it.
"Are you kidding? I have very high standards. Can anyone be my wife? I am so handsome, so I must choose a good one. Of course, I have to choose a wife from thousands of people. I can't make do with anything.
Just find one?"
"Hmph..." Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and walked out.
Ye Yaodong also hummed a song and walked out after getting dressed.
Ye Chengjiang was sitting on the threshold of his house. As soon as he saw him getting up, he actively went back and forth, squeezing toothpaste for him, bringing him hot water, and twisting the towel.
"Uncle Third, do you want me to spray some mousse on you and comb your hair?"
Ye Yaodong looked down at his big back, somewhat silent.
When I saw it for the first time, I really wanted to say, who made him such a bitch?
"You haven't learned how to ride a motorcycle, and you're such a coquettish person? When you learn how to ride a motorcycle, what's the point? Aren't you going to seduce all the girls from all over the country?"
"That's not possible. Leave a few for your brothers at home!"
"Damn! Why didn't I realize you were this kind of person? Ah Hai even knows how to blush, why are you so thick-skinned?"
"Hey, I'm about to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I must dress up handsomely. There will definitely be a lot of people watching me later."
Ye Yaodong was happy, "Okay, you have already released the news in advance, waiting for the whole village to watch you, right?"
"Chenghe said it, not me. He has already spread the news throughout the village and nearby villages, saying that you want to teach him to ride a motorcycle."
"Let him wait for me!"
"Hey, third uncle, let's eat..."
Ye Chengjiang poured the porridge for him and put it in front of him. He took out a pair of chopsticks for him and handed them to his hands. He served him extremely attentively and even had to feed him the rice into his mouth.
"Go and clean the motorcycle for me."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "You don't need to tell me, he and Ahai ran over at dawn and had already polished the motorcycle inside and out. Yesterday, it was still dusty when we came back from riding in town. Today, it has been replaced with new ones.
It’s the same.”
"Not bad! Quite discerning!"
"They even watered the vegetables at the front door and the back door, and fed the chickens and ducks. The old lady was so surprised that she kept asking them why they were so diligent this morning? Why didn't they even lift the broom when it fell down?
Come to work with us."
"Keep it up."
"I understand, Third Uncle, from now on all these tasks will be left to me and Ah Hai."
"Very good, go out and wait."
Ye Chengjiang ran out obediently, then jumped and punched. Looking at his back, you could tell he was very excited.
The old lady said: "It's good to have something to do, so you don't have to run out all day without seeing anyone."
Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "Are you talking about me or him?"
"Talk about you! Why is Ajiang squatting at home if he doesn't run out as a child?"
"I do all the business, so I have a little free time today. It happens that they want to learn to ride a motorcycle, so I will teach them."
Just as he finished eating, he stood up, washed the bowls and chopsticks for Lin Xiu, and walked out.
Good guy, as soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw a large group of children at the door, at least thirty or forty!
Ye Yaodong looked at the proud Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe speechlessly.
Ye Chenghe came up to him without a look and asked flatteringly: "Uncle Third, do you want to push the motorcycle now? I'll help you."
"Go away, I didn't say I wanted to teach you."
His eyes widened, "What! Huh?"
Ye Chengjiang pushed him aside and said, "Uncle Third, let me help you push the motorcycle out."
"No, there will be no teaching today. You can play by yourself."
"Ah? Why?"
Ye Chengjiang looked stunned.
Ye Chenghe, who was originally depressed, became gloating again.
"Why are there such a large group of children? Watching monkeys? Cars don't have eyes. What should we do if we encounter them later? Let's play by ourselves. There will be no one around. I'll teach you later."
Ye Chengjiang glared at Ye Chenghe angrily, "It's all your fault! You loudspeaker!"
He hooked Ye Chenghe's neck with one hand and dragged him to the side.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? If you dare to hit me, tell my brother..."
"Tell your brother and he will beat you with me."
"Third uncle, third uncle...save me, Ajiang is going to hit me..."
Ye Yaodong put his hands in his pockets and walked away, planning to visit the workshop first. What does it look like with such a large group of children gathered here?
Father Ye was watching people playing cards and asked him curiously, "What are you doing? Are you causing them to fight again?"
"No, don't worry about them. Did your workers call you yesterday?"
"We've all agreed, and we'll start working again after the new year when you notify us. I also stopped by your business uncle's house and asked about his friend who changed ships a few years ago, and asked him to spend a few days. If his friend has
When you come back, tell me and take us to sit at someone's house."
"Okay, I will definitely come back before the end of the year."
Just talk about this and we are all acquaintances. When the time comes to go to sea together, I will definitely be willing to have a companion.
"Third brother!"
Ye Yaodong turned around and saw that Ye Huimei and A Guang had brought three children over.
"Hey, the twins are here? Why do they look different?"
Ye Huimei smiled and said: "I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Isn't he different? Such a young child must have changed a lot after not seeing him for several months. You have been back for a few days, how can you become an uncle?"
He invited guests to dinner a few days ago, but Ye Huimei didn't bring the twins. They were too small to eat a few bites, and they were too annoying for her to take care of. They had to be looked after by several adults, so they only brought one Pei Yu.
So Ye Yaodong has been back for so many days and has not seen the twins yet.
The main reason is that he doesn't have time to visit Aguang's house. They haven't separated their families, and he doesn't really want to go. The family there is no longer as pure as before.
"Ah, my fault. I'm too busy. I run around all day long. Just be free today, otherwise you won't be able to see me."
He opened his hands to hug him, but he didn't know whether it was left or right, so he turned his head away and ignored him.
"Are you so disrespectful? Forget it, I'll hug my sister."
Pei Yu held Ye Huimei's clothes with one hand, ignored him, and hid behind him.
"Oh shit, you're all so disrespectful. Come here, I'm your brother-in-law. You've been living in my house for more than half a year, and you're still avoiding me?"
Pei Yu just ran away and ignored him.
"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu..."
When Ye Xiaoxi heard someone calling her, she ran out of the pile of children and ran towards her.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu..."
Ye Yaodong watched the two little kids running toward each other. He didn't know why, but suddenly a picture of White Snake meeting Xu Xian's broken bridge appeared in his mind, and they were running...
He felt a chill.
Ye Huimei was still explaining, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, have you forgotten a little bit? You'll be fine after you get used to it in a few days."
"Will these two little ones leave?"
"Yes, it's been a week and a half, and I can walk long ago. It's just that the gravel road outside is not very stable, and I keep falling."
The couple had already put their two children on the ground and left them to play by themselves.
Ye Yaodong looked at the twins who were so small. They were dressed exactly the same and walked waddlingly, which was a bit strange.
If Lin Xiuqing hadn't had a sterilization, he would have wanted to have another baby.
The children at home are no longer cute as they are older, but they still look cute when they are young. The two small millet teeth at the bottom are exposed when the mouth is opened, and the speech is slurred. No matter how you look at it, you are attracted by it.
When he couldn't help but hug her, he started crying again.
This made Father Ye feel very distressed, "Don't scare him, he's not familiar with you."
"Okay, okay, don't move them."
A Guang smiled: "Put them here to play, I'll go find Azheng and the others."
"Talk about a loan?"
"Yes, do you want to go together?"
"I stopped going and kept running out. It's rare that I have free time today, so I'm going to bask in the sun at home. Anyway, I don't plan to make any more loans, so I won't get involved."
"Okay, even with that little money, you don't care."
"Xi Jiba said, I just took out the loan, so I won't repeat it."
"Um."
A Guang told Ye Huimei to take good care of the child before leaving.
As soon as he left, Ye's father pulled Ye Yaodong and asked about the loan.
Ye Yaodong explained it to his father.
Ye Huimei also whispered: "We want to divide the family. We can borrow some money to prepare it, or book a boat in advance. We don't know when we will divide the family, how much we can divide, and whether there will be a boat to divide. We don't know.
If you are worried about it, make your own plans in advance."
"Have I given you some money this year?" Ye Yaodong asked curiously.
"It's divided. The next day after we get home, we will calculate this year's accounts and give half of it to us. What Aguang earned himself, we will keep it alone and don't need to take it out to settle the accounts."
"That's pretty good."
"It's quite good. Anyway, since we got married, there will be an account calculated at the end of every year and we will be divided into half."
Ye Yaodong didn't tell her that he wanted to give her 30% of the shares of Harvest. Anyway, he would wait until the family was divided. It was too early to say this now.
He looked at the twins who were swaying on the ground and looking around, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
A child is still cute, white and tender, and the little cotton-padded jacket looks like a chubby one.
The adults around them also looked at the twins with curiosity. They were just like briquettes when they were born, but suddenly they turned white.
Some even squatted down and teased them, but the twins didn't show any respect and waved their little hands carelessly, as if to shoo away flies.
"Third uncle...Third uncle, I drove them all away."
Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengjiang who was running towards him, and then looked around again. Indeed, there were indeed many fewer children, at least half of them were gone.
"Let Ye Chenghe take those people away?"
"Yes, otherwise I will beat him."
"Go push the motorcycle."
"Okay!"
He excitedly rushed towards the entrance of the courtyard, followed by Ye Yaodong.
Father Ye knew that he was going to teach Ye Chengjiang how to drive a motorcycle, so he whispered, "I'm too full!"
"Dad, come and teach him, you know how to do it anyway."
Father Ye immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll teach you, since I'm idle anyway."
Ye Yaodong picked up Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, who were approaching curiously, one in each hand, and carried them to the side.
"Just watch and don't get close to me. I'll teach you when you get older."
"Okay, I want to drive a car too! Xiaoyu also drives a car!"
Ye Xiaoxi happily hugged his thigh, "Dad, buy me a car."
Pei Yu looked at her move of hugging her thigh, hesitated for a moment, and then imitated her move and hugged Ye Yaodong's other thigh.
"Buy a car!"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
It's a little early to hug my thighs now.
"How can I walk when you call me like this?"
"That's it, we have to hug our thighs!"
"Whoever taught you this, let me tell you why you like to hug my thigh so much."
"Brother said it."
"Which brother?"
Ye Xiaoxi pointed out the houses of the three brothers, "This brother, that brother, and the brother at home."
"These guys are really good at talking."
The child was holding his legs on one side and he couldn't move, so he had to stand there and watch Father Ye teach Ye Chengjiang how to drive a motorcycle.
There are no corners, so it's more than enough.
The children around him were soon attracted again. They were extremely envious and did not dare to get close. They could only stand there and marvel.
"Ah Jiang, that's so cool!"
"Your brother is so handsome..."
"That's awesome. Your motorcycle is really awesome. I want to learn it too..."
"No, it's so beautiful!"
"What's so great about it? I'll ask dad to buy it."
"Go, go, brag..."
"I also want to ask my father to buy one. If I ask him to buy a TV, he will buy a TV. If I ask him to buy a motorcycle, he will definitely buy a motorcycle..."
"Spank your ass until it blooms!"
Ye Yaodong smiled and listened to the children around him. It turns out that children are the purest ones. The home is comfortable and lively, which is why they are popular.
This is a fun day to live.
I move a stool and sit in front of my house every day, and I feel relaxed.
Working at sea all day long, just thinking about making money. Although I feel happy when I see the goods received, it is not as comfortable and promising as the life at home.
"Uncle."
Ye Yaodong looked down and saw Pei Yu stretched out her hand, holding a peeled white rabbit toffee.
"For me?"
She nodded.
Ye Yaodong bent down and took her in, touched her head and said, "Good boy."
He touched his pocket again and gave each of the two children 5 cents, "I'll buy candies later."
"Buy firecrackers!" Ye Xiaoxi happily put the money in his pocket.
"You can't buy firecrackers, you have to buy candy."
"Buy firecrackers!"
"You're not good. Look how good Xiaoyu is."
Pei Yu said in a sweet voice: "Fried cow dung!"
"Walk!"
Ye Xiaoxi pulled Pei Yu, and the two little girls ran towards the village.
"Hey hey hey..."
Ye Yaodong looked at their backs and sighed, taking back what he just said.
No one is good.
Lin Xiuqing saw the two running away and asked, "Why are they going?"
"The guy who bought firecrackers said he was going to blow up cow dung."
"Ah? Don't stop me."
"If you can stop me for a while, can I still follow you and stop you?"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him, chased after the two children, caught them back, emptied her pockets first, and gave the money in Pei Yu's pocket to Ye Huimei.
But it was of no use. Ye Xiaoxi had a piggy bank and was still rich.
Both of them stood there and scolded Lin Xiuqing, and after they finished scolding, they sneaked home to get the money.
Then when the adults weren't paying attention, they went to buy firecrackers together happily.
Later, when it was time for dinner and they came back covered in cow dung, they were dragged home and beaten severely.
Ye Xiaoxi, covered in cow dung, stood in the yard crying and being beaten.
Lin Xiuqing told her not to move or hide, so she just stood there motionless, crying loudly and looking around for a savior.
Ye Yaodong was still making sarcastic remarks, "I'll just say it, I can't stop it."
"You also said that if you didn't give them money, would they think about buying firecrackers and frying cow dung?"
"Isn't this tradition?"
Ye Xiaoxi cried in a cry, his mouth still flattening as he echoed, "Tradition!"
"Hand out."
She hesitantly stretched out her hand, raised it, and then retracted it. She retracted it several times before spreading her palm.
But her eyes kept blinking, which betrayed how scared she was.
Lin Xiuqing fried meat with bamboo shoots and slapped it on the palm of her hand, which made her cry even louder.
Ye Chenghu dragged his cheeks and looked, "You're stupid, you don't know how to run. If I tell you to stand, just stand!"
She was instantly filled with happiness, and she quickly ran towards him aggrievedly, "Brother..."
"Ah, don't come over...don't come over..."
Ye Chenghu panicked and quickly stood up to run away from the cow dung she was covered in.
But he couldn't hide from Ye Xiaoxi, but he couldn't hide from Lin Xiuqing, so he got hit several times in vain.
"Ah, why did you hit me..."
"If you don't teach good people, if you teach bad ones, it means you have a bad start. If not, who will hit you?"
Ye Chenghu was running around the yard, not daring to stop. One was his sister, one was his mother, one was covered in cow dung, and the other was holding a whip in his hand.
He couldn't help but slap himself in the mouth to make him talk bad. Wouldn't it be better if he just squatted there and watched the fun?
The old lady said: "Okay, okay, don't hit me. Wash the child quickly. While the sun is strong at noon, give her a bath and eat. Don't starve her."
"You've already eaten cow dung, what are you hungry for?" Ye Chenghu shouted as he ran out.
"Then go eat cow dung at noon, stop eating, and don't come back."
"I'm going to my uncle's house to eat."
"You were born to be angry with me..."
Ye Chengyang shouted flatteringly: "Mom, I'll get you hot water."
"It's rare to have a decent baby." Ye Yaodong sighed with emotion.
Lin Xiuqing glared at him.
"Why are you staring at me? You gave birth to me, you raised me."
"As if it has nothing to do with you."
The old lady said: "If you have more children, there will always be a decent one."
"No wonder the poorer you get, the poorer you get, and the poorer you get, the poorer you get."
The old lady hit him and said, "Nonsense, that's because the population is booming."
"You said, when you get old, which one is better off, money or people?"
"Of course we need people. Only when people are prosperous can we be blessed. Why do we need so much money? Just plant something and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking."
"Then I want both."
The old lady chuckled, "Yes, I want both."
Chapter completed!
