The two brothers looked at Aguang and his son again.

"Do you want to go together?"

Father Pei shook his head, "I just visited the department store in the province yesterday, as well as all the urban areas. I came today just to walk around the market. We won't go to the department store now. You guys go

Bar."

Aguang also said: "Let's chat with Dongzi and his in-laws here for a while."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Ye Yaohua spoke first: "Then we won't go either. We'll just chat with you here. The women can just go shopping in their store, and we won't join in the fun."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Then don't go there. Uncle Pei and A Guang just went shopping with us. Do you have any ideas?"

Everyone looked at the father and son.

Father Ye also smiled and asked: "You have a lot of money now. Do you want to buy two and put them there? Anyway, the money is left there. Dongzi has bought so many, so it shouldn't be wrong. Now let's take a look at it."

This shop is the big one in his hands."

"Someone in Dongzi can help. We just bought it and left it there."

"We bought it and left it there. Haha, my shop is now rented to Dongzi's brother-in-law, and the rent is five to six hundred a year, which is pretty good. If we can rent it continuously, we can pay back the money in a few years."

"My eldest brother's shop has been rented. You can mostly see whether the business is good or bad, and it will be easy to rent out in the future." Ye Yaodong said, "Anyway, I think it is better to buy a shop or a boat when I have money in my hand."

"Places that are too far away are beyond our reach. It's like a provincial city. Although it's busy every day, it's inconvenient for us. The road conditions are too bad and the bumps back and forth are too severe. It's fine in county cities."

"If you don't want to buy in the city and find it inconvenient to come here, you can go to the county seat to have a look. The county seat is still a county seat after all."

"The county town is not as lively as our town." A Guang's first reaction was to dislike the county town.

"That's just for now. After all, it's a county town. It will definitely get better in the future."

"If you really want to buy a county town, you might as well buy a city. All of you are setting up shop here. It looks so big and new here. Although the surrounding area looks a bit desolate, but as you said, with support, so

Big markets will always become more lively, so it’s not as good as here.”

Ye Yaodong patted the table, "Yes, as long as there is a popular place, it will be lively. Even if the surrounding area is a little deserted now, as long as there are many people coming and going, the surrounding area will definitely be lively. People create labor, and labor is the primary productive force."

"That's why I asked you and Uncle Pei to come over today and take a look. No matter what others say, it's not as real as seeing it with your own eyes. If someone talks about a flower, it's all in vain if you don't see it yourself."

Father Lin said with a smile: "Before the festival, I asked around, and in the past two days, many people left messages saying they wanted to sell, but today there were only few people, only three. It is estimated that there will be more people who want to sell.

We will also ask questions at your door.”

"If someone comes to your door, I will call and tell A Dong then. You can also go back and discuss it. If you have any ideas, you can come back later. Anyway, if you want to make a decision immediately,"

Ye Yaodong echoed, "Yes, come here today and take a look around. If there is any news later, I will give you a shout."

He already has five, and he is not very interested in the ones at No. 3 and No. 4. He also wants to buy a tractor.

If they want it, buy it for them first. No one wants him to take it over. He is more interested in the ones around the No. 2 entrance. Unfortunately, it is slowly becoming more popular now, and no one will sell it, unless they are in urgent need of money.

"Then let's wait until we get back and let's go out for a walk."

"Okay, then you can go out for a walk. There are not many big brothers and two brothers here, so you can go and have a look together. Anyway, they are already here, and it is a waste of time to just sit in the shop."

He won't go out anymore. He doesn't even want to visit the market anymore.

He didn't stay in his shop for long. He just happened to sit in the shop for a while, drink a few sips of tea, and wait for them to come back.

After they all went out for a stroll, Ye Yaodong also walked to the door with his arm around his father's shoulders and told him about buying a tractor.

"I'm just telling you that you didn't stop the car for no reason yesterday and went to the tractor factory to have a look."

"Isn't this just what I saw? I had no plan to do so before, but when I saw it, I thought about buying a tractor. It saves me from having to call Uncle Zhou all the time. The toll is not cheap."

"He is counting on you to make money. If you buy one, he will lose most of it."

"Then I can't just make money for him and not buy it myself. What kind of logic is this? I must consider my own needs."

"That's what I said."

After speaking, Father Ye thought for a moment and realized that he had made a lot of money this time and had plenty of money.

"You can buy it now. The boys you raised at home are still there anyway. You can just ask them to deliver the goods after you buy them."

"This is what I plan to do. It will be convenient for me to have a car and go back and forth. We will also have an extra fish sauce to transport next year."

"When you get back, you can discuss it with Ah Qing. It just so happens that the store didn't buy too much today, so I just bought three."

'At once'!

Fortunately, these words were not heard by outsiders. Father Lin and Mother Lin were sitting in the shop talking and chatting.

Even buying three stores is not a lot. It should shock people. This is not a lot. How rich does the family have to be?

"Well, I'll discuss it with her after the busy work is over. There's no rush anyway. I won't go to the province in half a month. There are still a lot of things to do at home that I haven't been busy with. The eldest brother and the second brother are thinking about building a building."

"The village committee didn't give an explanation. We've been out for the past two days, and we didn't have time to ask questions in such a hurry. The women at home are useless. It's up to the men to make the decision. Now that you have bought the store, this

The matter has come to an end for the time being. It will probably be dark when we go back in the afternoon. You can go to the village committee and ask questions tomorrow morning."

"I know, I have planned it, and things have to be done one by one."

"When it comes to building a building, you can ask your eldest brother and second brother to help you. You have so many things to do, so don't do everything. After all, when the building is finished, the three brothers can just share it equally."

"Dad, do you want to move in with us? If we build a building, my place will be very wealthy. I can build at least three large rooms upstairs. When the children grow up, there will be room for three people each.

.”

Father Ye waved his hand, "Your mother and I want to keep an eye on the old house. How can we let it remain in ruins? Moreover, there are also old neighbors who have lived there for decades. We are used to it and we don't want to move anywhere."

Ye Yaodong is not surprised. Anyway, his father and mother are not old enough to walk around and need to provide for their retirement. If they want to live alone in the old house, then live alone.

"If you really don't plan to move, then when we build the building, we can repair it for you."

"That's okay. The walls are made of stone, which is very strong. There's no need to worry about it. At most, the roof should be repaired and the doors and windows should be replaced. Some of the wood is rotten and the glass is cracked."

"Well, let's do it together then."

The father and son were calm, discussed everything, and chatted for a while.

Father Ye did not urge him to go to sea. Instead, he asked him to rest for two days after all the things were done.

Ye Yaodong cried with joy in his heart. The old man finally felt sorry for his son, and now he would not open his mouth to object, instead opening his mouth to scold him indiscriminately.

They didn't wait long before everyone came back. Running back and forth to do errands was quite time-consuming.

Those women also count the time when they go shopping, and come back almost when the time comes, so as not to be too late and have an accident when it gets dark when they get home.

All of them went with baskets, and when they came back, the baskets were full, their faces were beaming with joy, and they were more willing to buy since they had more money.

Everyone came back, and they also said something to Father Lin, Mother Lin, Lin Xianghui, Sister Lin, and they got on the tractor and went back.

On the tractor, every woman chattered non-stop, talking about what they had seen, heard, and felt, what they had bought, how cheap it was, and how expensive some were.

Seeing how happy and excited they were, this trip was not in vain.

But he still didn't feel happy for long, so he lowered his head and wrapped himself tightly, then began to chirp in silence. He didn't feel energetic until he was almost home.

"I don't know if those people at home are good or if they have turned the house upside down?" Lin Xiuqing said worriedly.

"Your two sons are still young and not very naughty. My two sons were not beaten for three days and they went to the house to lift tiles. The sticks were broken. The next day they went to climb the wall and climb the tree without giving me any anger.

I’m so angry, I’ve been away from home all day today, and if I let them stay at home, I would be worried that they would demolish the house.”

"You have to go to school, so you can't be at home all day. It won't tear down the house. At most, you'll be naughty and playful."

"I'm afraid they won't go to school and will run around in the mountains and rivers." Mrs. Ye Er muttered.

Sister-in-law Ye's brows were so furrowed that she could kill a fly, "We're almost home. We'll know when we get home. Let's see if they behave well. If they behave well, they'll be rewarded. If they don't, they'll be whipped."

Ye Yaodong silently lit a candle for them in his heart. In the morning, he even asked them to remember to go into the water and touch the snails for him after school...

If his legs were really broken, he would be the culprit.

When they got home, they lived up to their expectations. The house was turned over as if it had been robbed. The chairs were knocked to the floor. The sugar in the cupboard was dug out and eaten. They confiscated it. Red date cores and longan shells were spat out all over the floor.

.

The door to the house was open, and chickens, ducks, and geese were running around in the house. There was a lot of chicken, duck, and goose droppings all over the floor. Looking at Sister-in-law Ye, Sister-in-law Ye’s temples felt bulging and painful.

As a result, none of the children were seen, and we don't know where they died or why they haven't come back yet.

Angry, they shouted several times at the door, but there was no response.

The old lady listened to their scoldings and hurriedly walked into their room. She was also startled.

"Hey, before I went to cook, I even looked at the children at the door. They ran away and didn't close the door. The chickens and ducks have all gone to your house. Get them out quickly..."

"When I come back later, I'll have to peel off my skin. No one is at home, and I don't know how to close the door when I go out."

"I don't know where he died. It's getting dark. I can't see anyone. There's chicken excrement all over the floor. Oh my god... there's chicken excrement on the stove. If you come back, I'll beat him to death..."

The two sisters-in-law walked into the house on tiptoes, cursing, and chased away the chickens huddled under the table and the chickens huddled under the bed in the room. There were chickens and ducks from each of the three households.

The only good thing is that the master bedroom is locked there, the iron lock is still hanging, and I am not brave enough to dare to break the lock and run in.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but feel lucky that there was an old lady watching over her house, which was still neat and tidy as before.

She watched her chickens, ducks and geese being driven out, and said awkwardly: "Scatter a handful of plant ash later, sweep it away, and then brush it with water."

"I'm going to be so angry with them that I haven't looked at them for a day, and my house has turned into a chicken coop..."
