It is indeed a bit big, and the road is not good now, so it is not as safe as a bicycle.
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and then didn't persuade her. Riding a bicycle would be fine anyway.
"Would you like to buy you a smaller women's bicycle? The 28-inch bar is too high, and there is a horizontal bar in front. If you have to stop along the way and your feet haven't touched the ground, your little pen will hit it.
It hurts like hell."
Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "What did you say?"
"To be honest, it's just the two of us lying on the bed. What can't we say? No one will listen to us. Let's buy a women's bicycle tomorrow. There are no horizontal bars on it."
She responded softly.
Anyway, it doesn't cost much to buy a bicycle. The 28-inch bicycle with large bars is indeed too high for her. If she is asked to ride that bicycle, she would rather walk, because she will really get bumped.
When the couple came back on a ladies' bicycle the next day, the children at home were very happy again, but seeing Ye Yaodong there, they didn't dare to make a mistake.
She glanced at him secretly, then trotted to Lin Xiuqing's side.
"Mom, did you buy a new car?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Well, push it in first."
"Mom, let me help you..."
"I don't have to do it myself."
She just bought a new car, and she hasn't cared enough about it yet.
"Mom, can we use your new bicycle to learn how to ride? Dad's one is too big, so we can only ride it under the horizontal bar. It's too crooked to ride."
"Can't."
Lin Xiuqing refused immediately. How could she give them the precious bicycle she just got?
When they were studying, either someone fell or their bicycle fell, and she couldn't bear to let it go.
The two boys didn't dare to argue. After being rejected, they followed the house honestly, touched it here and there, played for a while, and then ran out again.
After completing their homework, they now feel better and have the qualification to look down on others.
After Lin Xiuqing bought a bicycle, Ye Yaodong did not take her to the factory on a motorcycle. Instead, the couple had a bicycle and rode side by side to the factory.
The guard was surprised when he saw it.
"Boss Dong, why are you and the boss lady riding bicycles today? Are you tired of riding motorcycles?"
"It's so close, so you don't have to drive a motorcycle every day. Bicycles are also convenient."
"That's right, where does the motorcycle need fuel? It obviously needs money, but you will definitely not be short of that."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, parked his bicycle, and went in with Lin Xiuqing.
On the road, when I encounter people transporting goods to the warehouse, or other people coming and going on errands, I will stop and shout, "Boss Boss Dong, Madam Boss."
The couple nodded, getting used to it.
They have been coming here every two days for the past two months. The workers have already become familiar with them and will say hello to them when they meet.
They also winked secretly when they first heard it, but now they are used to it and nod without changing their expressions.
"You are now familiar with the factory, and everyone in the factory knows you. If I were not here, everyone would greet you respectfully."
"Just be careful on your way back and forth. Fortunately, Ajiang works in the factory. Then you can go to and from get off work with him. It will be safer."
"Or simply let the workers in the workshop take you to and from get off work every day?"
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly stopped her, "What kind of business is this? Where can I have a tractor pick up and drop off every day? Others will say that I am so grand, and I will be embarrassed."
"I just follow Ah Jiang and ride a bicycle to and from work. There will be workers on the way to and from get off work. There are many people on the road during the day. It's not night, so it won't be unsafe."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Okay, anyway, you won't have to come here every day. Like now, you can come here every two or three days to take a look, inspect, and check on the shipment status."
"Well, I think it will be difficult to recoup the money this year. Although shipments are continuing, there are so many workers, and the upfront wages and materials are also a lot of money."
"Don't be in a hurry. I won't open until halfway through this year. Take your time. I'm sure I don't expect to get rich overnight."
"It's the end of July now, when do you plan to go to Zhoushi?"
"The house above is still under construction. Although I will call back in three to five days to report on the progress, I still don't feel reassured. I thought I could go up there as soon as possible. Anyway, I can still fish up there."
"Then we can't wait until September?"
"About mid-August. In another half a month, we can go up early."
He estimated that by then, even if it was not finished, it would not be much different.
It's a hot day now, and the sun is shining brightly every day, so the progress should be fast. After going up, you can just make a bed on the floor and sleep in the newly built house.
There are no typhoons this month, but there will be more typhoons in August, and they will continue to appear intermittently in September and October. Even if there is no direct attack, the ocean will be affected, and the Ocean 1 will definitely be affected for a long time by then.
Can't stay at sea.
You can't stay at sea for a long time, and you don't have enough gas money to come and go frequently.
It's better to wait for good weather next month and go up there in advance. Although we can't go out to sea in case of a typhoon, at least we can supervise the completion, and the boatmen can also work together to complete the project faster.
In case there is a series of typhoons and the weather is not good enough to travel far, you don’t have to worry so much if you leave early.
He thought so and explained it to Ah Qing.
Lin Xiuqing also understands that there are indeed many typhoons in this season.
"Then you should call A Guang in advance in the next two days and let them prepare in advance so that you have an expectation in mind."
"I know, I'm just chatting with you right now. When it comes to it, he will call back later and I will tell him when we chat."
The two couples walked around the workshop and chatted about the follow-up matters. When workers greeted them, they smiled and nodded.
Within two days, Aguang called to report that he was safe, and Ye Yaodong told him to prepare in advance.
Now that his home has a phone, Aguang always calls his home number and asks Huimei to pick it up. After all, the two families are close to each other, so it is much more convenient than going to the village committee to answer the phone.
Moreover, Aguang and Ye Yaodong also chatted very much, both talking about the receiving situation of jellyfish. They didn't have to share it with anyone else. Only Dongzi had the most common language.
After setting the departure time, Ye Yaodong waited for his brother and his friends' boat to come back, and also informed them in advance.
These boats of theirs now go out for at least a week, or about 10 days. You have to tell them in advance so that they can grasp the time.
The family became busier, so Lin Xiuqing prepared all the thick quilts and clothes for him in advance.
Who knows what day it will be in the middle of the month, it also depends on the time when other ships come back, it may be earlier than that.

The old lady went even further and started to worship Mazu every day. She went to Thean Hou Temple in the morning and evening to offer incense.
Ye Yaodong even teased her, trying to make ends meet.
The old lady laughed and hit him twice with a cattail leaf fan.
"I'm not just cramming. My faith has always been in my heart. Now I just want to remind Mazu that you must remember to burn incense in the morning and evening."
"knew."
"The village has been talking about the Double Ninth Festival in September and Mazu's Millennium Festival. You will come back, right?"
"It's necessary."
"Okay, okay, I'll be back soon."
The old lady was happy now. She would be back soon after her trip, so she didn't have to wait impatiently for the Chinese New Year.
"I just took the time to come back and rest for a few days to recuperate."
"Well, let's talk about it then. Before anyone leaves, you are already thinking about me coming back."
"Well, when I get older, I just want my grandson to be around and look after me every day."
Ye Mu said in a loud voice: "Dongzi is a person who wants to do great things. How can I sit at home like a Bodhisattva and watch you every day?"
"No matter how big a job you do, you still have to go home."
"Then things have to be done no matter what. As you get older, stop holding him back. Just help look after the children at home and cook a meal."
"It's not as good as home outside. I already make so much money and I'm still out there every day..."
"How can you make money if you don't go outside? Just sit at home and the sky will drop money for you?"
…
Ye Yaodong ignored his mother's argument with the old lady and walked towards the Tianhou Palace on his own.
What the old lady said is right. You have to hold the Buddha even if it is temporary. Before setting off, you have to pay homage to Mazu in the morning and evening.
While he was waiting for the incense to be laid, he also talked to Mazu about his donation.
He said that he sincerely wants to reshape Mazu into a golden body, but now that the Millennium Festival is held by the county, all the money he donated has gone to the county government, and it is not up to the village to have the final say on how to arrange it.
.
But it doesn’t necessarily fall on Mazu. The more you donate, the more likely it is that it won’t fall, and it’s not certain whether it will be used to gild the body.
So he thought that he should do his part by donating part of it to the county, and donating part of it to Thean Hou Temple for maintenance and repair.
If he has accumulated enough wealth in a few years, he will find a special day and donate it directly to the Thien Hau Temple in the village, saying that it will be used specifically to rebuild his golden body.
I don’t know if it will be gold-plated this time. Even if it is gold-plated now, it can be plated thicker by then.
This is considered a better plan.
Ye Yaodong prepared the sacrifice sincerely and burned the incense for several days.
The old lady looked very relieved.
He also gave him the beads he had been chanting.
"I have recited many sutras and inserted this string of beads. It will definitely keep me safe. Please wear it on your hand."
Ye Yaodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The scriptures you have recited for decades are all in this string of beads. Now that they are given to me, you can no longer recite them."
"When you come back, give it to me and I will continue to read it."
"Then what should you do if you don't have Buddhist beads for chanting?"
"Yes, I also have a long string of 108 beads hanging around my neck, all of which are recited."
He thought for a moment, and it seemed like there was.
Usually when worshiping the Bodhisattva, the old lady hangs it around her neck and chants it. She usually wears a bracelet and sits at the door to chant the sutra.
"Okay, I'll take it with me then."
