Lin Xiuqing was also very suspicious. Looking at the mysterious appearance of the father and son, it seemed that it was not as simple as cleaning up the bottom of the boat. Otherwise, what couldn't be said?
And how could anyone stay up late at night and clean up all night? How could he be so anxious?
However, seeing that neither of them was going to talk about it, they looked like they were looking after him, so it was useless to ask at this time. Ye Mu was kicked back with a ball the moment she asked.
After thinking about it, she swallowed her words and asked again when she returned to the house later.
Between adults, you can talk back and forth, which is much easier for Ye Chenghu.
He took advantage of the adults' enthusiasm for talking and quietly sat back down in his seat. He took his chopsticks and carefully picked at the rice in the bowl, trying not to make any noise and picking up as few dishes as possible to avoid attracting attention.
While the adults were talking, he took the lead and took a few more bites. It would be best to wait until he finished the meal before they finished talking.
The old lady looked at him with a smile, and he kept putting his index finger to his mouth, reminding the old lady not to make any sound, and to let him eat the food safely first.
Otherwise, I don’t know what will be waiting for him later?
Everyone actually saw it, they just pretended not to know and ignored him.
After Ye Chenghu finished his meal quickly, he quietly got down from the table and returned to the house. It wasn't until Ye Chenghai next door came over and called him to go to school that he quickly put on his schoolbag and ran out directly.
He was afraid that his mother would remember again that he just wanted to ask for leave under the pretext of stomachache.
In fact, they didn't go to school right away. Not long after they finished eating, it was still early for school, so they went to Mazu Temple to join in the fun.
Lin Xiuqing didn't bother to care about him, just turned a blind eye and pretended not to see him.
Anyway, just go to school honestly when the time comes. I usually go out early, and I don’t know what time Mo Ji will go to school.
Let Adong go to Thean Hou Temple later. If he doesn't go by the time, he will really be beaten.
There is no difference between Mazu Temple and Thean Hou Temple. The new temple is larger, so the name of Thean Hou Temple is engraved on the plaque. However, they habitually call it Mazu Temple. Occasionally, they will call each other back and forth.
.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong went to the door for a walk, and took a look at the bustling Thean Hou Temple in the distance. Some distance away from Lao Chang, he could also see the bustle of people over there, people coming and going, and heads shaking.
We have just finished our meal, and there are so many people there. When the opera is about to start, it will probably be even more crowded. By then, people from villages all over the country will probably fill up the Mazu temple. He will wait a moment
We have to send the old lady off early.
"A Dong, come in for a moment!"
"Coming!"
Here he is, his wife's cross-examination is finally coming.
As soon as Ye Yaodong entered the room, he saw her taking off her apron and immediately started to help.
"Go back to the house, I have something to ask you."
"good."
The couple went into the house one after another, leaving Ye Xiaoxi at the door listening to the radio with the old lady, waiting for them to finish talking before going to Thean Hou Temple.
Lin Xiuqing walked behind and closed the door.
"What did you and dad do last night? We didn't come back all night and didn't come back until early in the morning."
"Hey, can you guess and see?"
She looked him over from top to toe and said, "Have you done something bad with your father? You don't dare to say it yet. Say it quickly, don't be so pretentious, let's go to Thean Hou Temple to watch a show together."
"I'm afraid that if I tell you, you won't be in the mood to watch the show. Otherwise, I'll tell you when you go to bed at night? Let's go to the show at noon, and there will be another show in the evening. After watching it, I'll tell you in detail when I come back?"
"It's okay if you don't say this. Once you say this, I really don't have the heart to watch the show. I just want to know first."
Ye Yaodong touched his nose, thought for a while, and thought it would be better to tell her honestly. She was not his mother, and she would be tight-lipped. He had to tell her about the addition of a boat at home, otherwise he would not be able to explain where the boat came from.
.
"I picked up a boat from Luzhou Island last night!"
"Ah? What!"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened and her mouth opened wide, looking at him in disbelief.
"What were you just saying? Wait a minute, are you serious? You also picked up a boat? This boat can still be picked up? No, no, how did you pick up the boat? You can still pick up the boat on Luzhou Island
?”
She was so frightened that she was a little incoherent, and a series of questions came out all at once.
Can he still pick up this fishing boat? And it’s from Luzhou Island?
Are you kidding? Are you teasing her on purpose?
"Nonsense, why are you lying to me?"
She covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from making a sound in surprise. After a while, she whispered in disbelief: "Are you serious? You really picked up a boat from Luzhou Island."
Huh? No, you can still pick this up?"
"Is the fishing boat floating on the sea and no one wants it? Or did they have an accident? So the boat was abandoned there and then picked up by you?"
Ye Yaodong listened to her guessing and asked a series of questions, then told her what happened yesterday afternoon and explained to her what they did last night.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him speechlessly, "You call this picking up?"
Ye Yaodong bared his teeth and grinned, "It must have been picked up. There is no one on this boat and it is wandering on a desert island. Isn't it a waste to leave it there? We can use it when we drive it back."
"It's too risky. What if someone suddenly shows up? Besides, can you rest assured if the boat docks at the port in the town? What if you are recognized?"
"It won't be recognized. We all repainted it and removed all the signs. I even painted the cabin."
"What kind of paint did you use to get it into the water so quickly?"
"I specially bought Taiwanese products, and chose the ones that are easiest to dry. Although the time is a little short, the color may fade when put in the water, but it shouldn't all fall off. And it's painted black, which is a deep color, and it shouldn't fall off at all.
It will be very obvious. And it doesn’t matter if it comes off, the color will be so messy that people won’t even recognize it.”
Lin Xiuqing also admired his boldness, even daring to steal fishing boats on Luzhou Island.
"Then the crank handles of their machines are still on the ship and haven't been taken away?"
"Not only did they not take it away, they just put it aside. They probably thought that their Luzhou Island was famous and the signs on the fishing boats were so obvious that no one would dare to make any plans."
But I didn't expect to meet someone like him who doesn't play by the rules.
"It's too dangerous for you to do this. What if they leave someone on board? Or if they come down from the mountain in time, we happen to meet them?"
"I've gotten close before, so I was sure there was no one on board, so I had the courage to get closer. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. As long as you know it, don't tell anyone, not even my mother."
"You have colluded with your father and you won't tell your mother, right?"
"Absolutely. How can I tell my mother about this? You don't know what her temper is like? I discussed it with my father and told my mother that I heard from my friends that someone wanted to sell the boat cheaply, and I wanted to buy it.
I'm afraid you won't agree. After all, I just bought a big boat, and now that I haven't received the boat yet, I still owe a large amount of balance payment, so I want to buy another boat?"
"However, this boat is also difficult to come across. Some people who want to buy it can't even buy it. The opportunity is rare, so I borrowed some money first, paid a deposit, and bought it with others."
"When I came back yesterday, I secretly drove the boat back, but I didn't know how to tell you when I drove it back. It was too conspicuous to dock in the village, so I temporarily drove it to the dock in the town."
"See if it's a perfect reason and a reasonable explanation! Just after I told my mother, I can still use her mouth to let the news out in a few days, and then drive back in an open and honest manner, and I will say that I have convinced you."
Lin Xiuqing also really admired his brain, it worked so fast, he suddenly thought of "picking up the boat", and after "picking up", he even arranged the rest of the things in an instant.
"Since you've made all the arrangements, that's fine. You can't do this kind of thing next time. It's too dangerous. We'd rather not take advantage of this..."
"How do I take advantage of this? I am strangling the danger. Didn't I tell you before? Where there is gold nugget, there is probably a gold mine. Although they don't have gold nugget on hand, I don't know this, but there may be gold mines.
Where are the other treasures? What if they discover a gold mine by mistake?"
"If there are no other treasures, why are they going to the island so frequently? They can make enough money just by sailing out on that boat to pick up the goods a few times, so why waste time going to the isolated island."
"Besides, we have to start catching squid in a few days. It just so happens that after Mazu's birthday, we have to go to the mountains to cut branches and get ready."
"Tell me, if I don't solve this matter, how will we catch squid? Then all our work will be in vain."
I'm so sleepy. Go to sleep and try my best to update tomorrow.
