It was rare to come back early today, and I was just in time for dinner when I got home. It was Chen Shi who pushed the cart back first, letting Lin Xiuqing know that they were back, so she waited for him.
In this way, the whole family can eat together without having to leave separate meals for him.
He was not in a hurry to take a shower, so he took off his clothes and pants, only wearing shorts, and went to the table to eat first.
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but said: "Why does your friend stutter like that? He has to pronounce one word more than ten times before he can pronounce the second word. I was almost stunned."
"Didn't I just tell you yesterday? I also taught it to you, and you didn't have any reaction at the time."
"I never thought that you would stutter so badly, and you are deliberately imitating others. If they really stutter, it will sound different to you."
"What's the difference?"
"Anyway, I was dumbfounded when I heard it. I didn't know what he was going to say next. I could only listen to him patiently, dumbfounded, for a long time before he finished his sentence."
The old lady smiled and said: "Don't laugh at people, stuttering is not a big problem, just be nice."
Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement, "I thought so too, that's why I took him out to sea to see. He's quite diligent, much better than my few cuckold friends."
"Then if someone wants to be your little brother, why don't they behave well?"
"Ah, I want to be your little brother? I'm just telling you, why are you suddenly brought up here, and you don't want to be paid, and you are so shameless that you have to work for you."
"Oh, don't say that, mother. When people go to higher places, they know that I can make money, and they meet me unexpectedly, it's normal for them to want to hug me."
Mother Ye rolled her eyes, "You can't take care of yourself, so you still want to take care of a group of younger brothers?"
"Okay, stop talking and eat more."
It's really annoying.
Mother Ye also kept her mouth shut and refused to speak if she didn't want to, and didn't care about him.
The whole family is accustomed to the mother and son being like this. The atmosphere during the meal has not changed much and is still harmonious. They can also discuss a few words. Today's crabs are very meaty. Today, all the little tubes have rice in their stomachs and are very fat. If there is any tomorrow,
Keep two more pounds and come back.
"Did you bring some seafood back to Chen Shi?"
"Yes, I saw that you brought back more food than before, so I knew that you definitely wanted him to take some back. We definitely couldn't finish it anyway, so I took a bucket and poured half of it into him, asking him to pick it up first.
Go back and return the bucket to us when you come over."
Ye Yaodong nodded, his wife was quite good at being a good person.
Mother Ye couldn't help but said, "Then you still call him at night?"
"Probably, once it's new, it'll be familiar again."
However, when it got dark, a large group of them came over again. This time, they did not stand at the corner of the wall and kept jumping up. Instead, they went to the courtyard door and knocked on the door openly.
They were just being chased and barked by the family dog, jumping up and down. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong heard the noise and came out to rescue them.
"My pants were almost pulled down by them."
"Why are you here again?"
"Haha, let's deliver firewood..."
Ye Yaodong was speechless when he saw another cart of firewood behind him.
"You're too busy, aren't you? Or bring me a cart of water tomorrow."
They happily agreed, "Okay, okay, we'll go get water later."
"Brother Dong, lend us the bucket."
"Yes, lend us the bucket. We can push it to get water and then push it back."
Ye Yaodong was helpless, "You talk about things when you have something to say, and fart when you have something to do."
Wang Guangliang rubbed his hands back and forth, "I want to say, can we take turns following you out to sea? Or we can just go and have a look."
"Think you're going out to sea for fun? They're all going out to work, so don't worry about it."
"No, we are here to help with the work. How about we go to the workshop to move things around? Or when Brother Dong is drying fish and you need someone to keep watch, call us?"
Ye Yaodong touched his chin, which was fine. Young people have endless energy anyway, so it doesn't matter if they stay up late day and night.
"That's fine, but will you keep it to yourself?"
"Absolutely not! I swear, I swear to Mazu, I swear to Guanyin Bodhisattva, even if my parents let me take it, I would have to scold them."
"right."
"Whoever asks me to take things from home, I will scold him to death."
"How can my father and mother make me obey?"
"Did Brother Dong recognize us?"
"No! Don't think too much. I just want to call you when I need it. Anyway, I won't let you work in vain."
It would be too much trouble to recognize my younger brother. Just work and get paid, so you don't have to worry too much.
"oh……"
"It will be a day's work tomorrow in the workshop, and the ground will be leveled, and the work will be over. You don't need to do anything. Just leave it there in the sun for two days and it will be fine."
"After everything is completely dry, I will arrange to dry the fish. Then I will call you to see the scene. You go back and rest for two days. Don't be too active. Just let Chen Shi go to sea with me in the next few days. That's fine."
No substitutions are needed.”
It has been almost half a month since we last dried. After the floor of the small workshop is completely dry, it is time to make arrangements. Otherwise, there will not be much inventory and supply will soon be insufficient.
Boss Zhou hasn't asked for dried fish recently, and he doesn't know whether he wants to avoid the limelight, has been caught, has not sold out, or has moved to another store. Who cares, he doesn't have to worry about selling anyway.
"Okay, okay."
Everyone was instantly satisfied. As long as there were arrangements for them, just wait a few days. Anyway, after working for a long time, everyone will know that they are Dong Ge's people!
From now on I can hold my head high when I go out!
Chen Shi is also satisfied and can continue to go out to sea tomorrow.
Last night he told his parents that he would go out to sea with the salted fish from Baisha Village at night. His parents' originally impatient faces showed surprise, thinking that he was talking nonsense and lying to them.
Xianyudong is now famous all over the country.
I struggled to explain later that I was introduced to him by Wang Guangliang, so I believed him a little, but I also had the idea that I would definitely be sent back after working for just one day.
After all, who likes a stammer?
They, as parents, were impatient to hear what he said, wishing they could forget him. When they asked him to go to work, it took him a long time to finish a sentence.
They all felt that if they contacted Chen Shi, they would definitely be sent back the next day so that he would not have to go.
Now Brother Dong said that he would still call him in the next few days, and Chen Shi giggled happily.
This was also the reason why he followed him non-stop after finishing his meal, wanting to hear the exact words.
Now I feel relieved.
Ye Yaodong asked them to unload the firewood, and gave them all the buckets at home and put them on the cart.
Now that it’s here, let’s pick up some more water and make the most of it.
But he won't give out cigarettes today, lest they get used to it and think that they can get cigarettes whenever they come to the door. Anyway, he has promised them that he will call them to see the workshop in two days and calculate their wages.
Fortunately, a small cabin was built inside the workshop to provide shelter from the wind and rain, and a bed for sleeping in during the winter.
Lin Xiuqing saw that he had indeed asked these young men to carry water and fill the water tank again, and she was convinced. She just talked about it casually the past two days, but today she put it into practical action.
When he went back to the house and lay on the bed, he still chatted with her.
"Don't waste what you bring to your door. I'm so tired when I come back from the sea. It's too inhumane to carry water again, and it's overkill. I can make a lot of money. If you want to be my little brother, then you can first take care of my family.
Helped with the work."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and didn't answer his words. She just said: "It's okay to let them see the workshop. I asked the aunts to take turns to see it before. I even saw them secretly taking cuttlefish home. I was embarrassed.
You can only turn a blind eye."
"There's nothing you can do about it. Let's see how honest these people are. Anyway, the dried fish is not worth much. They were swearing just now. Believe it first, and give it a chance."
"It's up to you. If it's reliable, we can take them to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish at the end of next month or in August. Last year we only had one boat, but this year our family has three boats, although one boat is for the eldest brother and the second brother.
Control, but you also need to hire a few more people.”
"There will definitely be a boat in the village to go with us by then, and Aguang's family will also need a lot of people. Everyone will be calling for boatmen by then. There are too many people needed, and there is danger in crossing provinces. Maybe not yet
It sounds so good."
"These teenagers seem to be quite good at fighting. If there is a conflict with someone outside, young people can fight better than the old people. They may suffer less losses, their legs and feet are also nimble, and they can run faster."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "What you said makes sense. Many people will definitely need manpower by then, and it will definitely be difficult to call them. Let's observe first."
Last year it was like a guerrilla attack, but this year maybe people are more vigilant. Catching them as outsiders will make more money than fishing for jellyfish.
"Then you should go to bed early. You have been tired for a long day and you have to go out at night."
"Have you finished your eldest brother's work at home? When are you planning to go to the city?"
"I don't know. He mentioned these two days a few days ago. I don't know which two days he mentioned, and he didn't call to tell me. Fortunately, my sister-in-law didn't know, otherwise she would have chased me to ask questions every day.
"
"Okay, if he comes over and talks about it, if you decide when to go to the city, you tell me and I will make time to go with him and take Chenghu to play for half a day."
Then I collected a bill from my father-in-law, but I haven't collected the bill for more than half a month, and I also accumulated a lot of money from my father-in-law.
Lin Xiuqing nodded, responded, turned off the light for him, and went out first.
In the next two days, Ye Yaodong and Chen Shi fished peacefully without any problems.
On the third day, they were lucky enough to catch a whole net of giant crocodiles, which made them extremely happy. Chen Shi's stuttering became even worse. He could say the word "big crocodile" for a minute before he stopped.
What made him even happier was that when their fishing boat docked, he saw the Aguang family's big boat with the words "Harvest" engraved on it, and he was almost overjoyed.
I went to sea for five days, but I finally came back, and I don’t know what the harvest was like.
Since the Harvest Queen's boat was too big and had a relatively deep draft, it could not reach the shore and was still parked in the middle of the sea. He was not in a hurry to reach the shore and directly drove the boat to meet it.
Soon he might have to use his boat to help transport cargo to the shore.
