Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1043: Being Beaten (1 words, monthly ticket +16)

"Have you put away all the guns?" Ye Yaodong suddenly remembered to ask.

"I've put them away and locked them up, don't worry. It's a pity that there are only two of them. The one on the other boat probably fell into the sea."

"That's fine. They're all homemade guns. I guess the ones on the other boat are also homemade guns. There's nothing to regret."

"Well, I'm glad you're safe."

"Now I don't know how long it will take to repair the boat. Fortunately, I made a lot of money, so it was worth it."

"Do you want to send it to the shipyard? We are in the county town anyway. It's not far away if we turn the corner."

Ye Yaodong touched his chin and hesitated for a moment, "Let the shipyard send a craftsman to our village to repair it?"

"It's not that convenient. We can drive to the shipyard. The shipyard has all kinds of equipment, so it should be easier to repair. It's not convenient to go to our village every day. What if we need some special tools that are difficult to carry? I don't know if they can arrange for people to repair it in the near future. It's better to drive to the shipyard to repair it. It's just right to put the boat behind us in the shipyard for repair."

"That's fine too. You can ask Uncle Pei. His boat shouldn't be damaged. We can take our boat and the two captured boats to the shipyard for repair. Then we can all take his boat back."

"Then I'll talk to him. We haven't driven far yet, so it's a good idea to go to the shipyard."

After Father Ye finished speaking, he also talked to Father Pei.

Father Pei certainly had no objection. His ship, the Harvest, was in good condition without any damage, but the boat it was towing behind definitely needed repairs, so it would be a good idea to take them to the shipyard together and pick them up, and they could discuss the distribution face to face on the same boat.

After the agreement was reached, the four ships turned together, two to two, and headed towards the shipyard again.

When Director Wu received a notification from the security guard, he was surprised to see so many ships docked at the shipyard all of a sudden.

After asking around, I finally understood and took the job.

We ordered all the boats from him, so of course he would be responsible for repairing any accidents or problems.

However, the repairs are not that fast. After all, there are three boats, and it will take at least half a month to repair all of them.

This is also the reason why most people choose to order a boat nearby. After all, no one can guarantee that the boat will never have problems. If there are problems, it is of course more convenient to repair it if it is close to home.

Ye Yaodong also asked the shipyard to check the engine that was bitten by the great white shark to see if there was any problem. Although no problems were found on the way back, there was still a safety hazard, but it had not yet malfunctioned.

He asked again, is there any machine with more powerful horsepower? By the way, he also wanted to see the horsepower of the machine on the fishing boat he seized?
After everything was explained, a group of them moved all the things on the ship to the Harvest, and they were waiting on board.

He went to his own boat and put a lot of money in the suitcase and locked it up, and also packed all his other belongings that he should take off the boat.

He would not take the beddings, which was a bother. He would wait until the boat was repaired and then sail back to dry them before going out to sea.

After thinking about it, he prepared the promised red envelope in advance.

I plan to give a little more this time. After all, he has earned a lot this time. Plus, he was involved in the robbery incident, which made everyone worried and scared. Sharing the spoils is extra and it is what we should do, but we also need to appease him.

Then the sailors on his own ship would be implicated and worried, and the same went for the Harvest. Originally he also owned shares in the Harvest, so after thinking about it, he simply prepared red envelopes for the sailors on the Harvest as well.

The two boats go in and out together, which means they are interdependent and rely on each other.

After finishing all this, he climbed onto the Harvest.

The first thing he did after getting on the boat was to hand the money he had just divided up to the boatmen above. Everyone got a share, and they were all grinning from ear to ear. Three dollars was more than a day's salary, so it was a lot.

When he took out the red envelopes he had prepared in advance, everyone was happier than during the Chinese New Year and kept refusing the gifts happily.

This is so unexpected.

"Alas, it's bad luck to have encountered this incident. All the people on your ship are implicated by me. Otherwise, how could we have been attacked by pirates together? This is what we should do. It helps to calm down."

"Okay, okay, then we won't be polite. We are lucky today. We have so many people and we won."

"Hehehe, if we send them in this time, they will probably be seriously injured if not killed. We will feel relieved when we dock at the provincial capital next time."

"We are doing this to eliminate harm for the people..."

Everyone happily took the red envelopes and put them in their pockets, said a few polite words, and then started chatting on the deck.

Ye Yaodong also gave one to his father and Pei's father. His father took it and put it in his pocket without saying a word, and also persuaded Pei's father, who was politely declining, to accept it as well.

"It's as it should be. Everyone contributed in the wave this morning and was frightened."

"Haha, Adong is becoming more and more thoughtful."

"Only when you have money can you be thoughtful and generous. Without money, everything is bullshit."

Even the red envelope he gave was not big, just 5 yuan, while his own boatmen received 8 yuan. They were already paid high wages. Everyone knows the risks at sea, otherwise why would the wages of seafarers be higher than those of factory workers? It is because of the dangers, natural disasters and man-made disasters.

The workers work day and night, and it is good enough for a boatman to go out to sea half of the year.

It's good enough to have a chance to calm down.

This was because he had just sold 11 kilograms of goods and was being generous. Otherwise, if he had just sold goods normally, he would have gotten nothing and no one could say anything.

"That's true."

"The stolen money has been distributed, but there are still two boats that we haven't distributed yet? This is an accident, and it is also the proceeds of the attack on our two boats. It should not be counted as public property, but as personal property. The boatmen work for us, and they already have wages. We can just share some of the stolen money. The two of us in charge will each have one boat, which will save us some trouble."

Father Pei nodded and had no objection to this distribution.

It is reasonable to have one boat per person. After all, he was driving the boat and directing the boatmen, so he was also implicated.

"That's fine. Then the boat you towed before will belong to you, and the boat I towed will belong to me. We will each bear our own maintenance costs when the time comes."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and seemed to have nothing else to say.

"That's fine, right? Once the distribution is done, everyone will be happy."

"Your boats have been sent for repairs, and you won't be able to go out to sea for the next half month. I will dock today and go out to sea again tomorrow. I won't wait for you."

"Then you have to be more careful."

"Well, now that such a large wave has been caught, it should be peaceful."

"It's best this way."

After discussing the distribution, they all stood on the deck to enjoy the breeze, chat about other things, and listen to the other sailors on the ship bragging.

It was basically the boatmen on the Dongsheng who were bragging, and they described the process of catching 11 kilograms of plum fish vividly, with their hands and feet dancing and their faces full of excitement.

Now that everyone had calmed down, divided the stolen money and received red envelopes, all their emotions were calmed down and only excitement remained on their faces.

The boatmen on the Harvest did not know the specific fishing process, they only knew the result. They were amazed when they heard everyone talking about it, and they all felt regretful that they did not see it at the time.

Poor Chen Shi, stuck in the middle, couldn't even brag about himself no matter how hard he tried.

But no one wanted him to speak, so he insisted on speaking on the side, and his intermittent voice made everyone angry.

Obviously everyone has heard other people bragging and knows the process, but he is still talking about the beginning. He is talking even though he is not allowed to. He ignores everyone's dislike and just keeps talking.

Ye Yaodong was laughing to death.

The water route is not as fast as the land route. We arrived at the county dock at 4 o'clock. We was delayed for an hour to send the robbers back and forth. Then we went to the shipyard, which delayed us for almost another hour.

It was already dark when they set out for the village, and when they arrived there were no lights on.

It's just the beginning of spring and the weather isn't that hot. Not many people sit outside their doorsteps after dark. Most people do some handicrafts after dinner and go to bed early to save on electricity.

Fortunately, there are people in his workshop 24 hours a day. Even if he is not working and no fish is being slaughtered, there are still a lot of goods stored in the small room inside.

On the other side, a lot of fish sauce is fermenting in the warehouse and open space. Of course, someone has to watch it day and night, otherwise someone might take advantage of the situation and destroy it. Then there would be no place to cry.

However, I don’t know if the guards were all inside and didn’t come out, so they didn’t notice that they had returned.

The fishing boat stayed in the middle of the sea for a long time and no one noticed it.

Ye Yaodong felt that he had to train them again after he got ashore later. Before the middle of the night, he had to go out occasionally and look around.

Just as they were thinking about whether to wait a while or drive the boat to the town and then walk back to avoid floating on the sea and waiting, the light of a flashlight was heard from the workshop.

They could see the small round circle of light from a distance, and everyone immediately waved their flashlights.

"It's good to know that it's coming out."

"Maybe he didn't expect that we would be back so soon today after setting out the day before yesterday morning, so he didn't sit at the door and stare at the sea around him."

"Wait a moment. Maybe he's going to get the crank."

"Fortunately, we don't have to drive the boat to town, otherwise we would have to walk an hour back."

"Stop talking and pack up the things you want to take off the boat."

"We have to go out to sea again tomorrow morning, and there's nothing to take except dirty clothes..."

Everyone was talking on the deck while waiting for the fishing boats to approach the dock. They had already seen several flashlights at the dock.

When the fishing boat approached, the younger brother was shocked, "Ah, why are they all on the Harvest? Brother Dong, where is your boat? I saw only one boat, and I thought it was the Harvest that came back first, and your boat would take two hours."

"The boat was a little damaged, so we took it to the shipyard for repairs. That's why we only have one boat back. Don't just talk, help move the things first."

"The quality is too bad, isn't it? Our boat is a new one, launched just after the Chinese New Year. How can it break down not long after it went out to sea? We should go talk to them and give them a good scolding..."

"No, there was an accident. We'll talk about it later. Let's move our things first."

The younger brother continued to ask questions, and Ye Yaodong gave a simple explanation, which caused him to exclaim in surprise again.

Lin Xiuqing and another younger brother were also standing on the shore, along with several dogs. They came out to help pick up the groceries brought back by the Harvest, but they didn't expect to see Ye Yaodong.

"Adong? Is it your ship that's back? That's not right... Uncle Pei is here too..."

Ye Yaodong drove away the dog, which was about to cling to him as soon as it saw him, and patiently explained it to her again.

Lin Xiuqing's face turned pale when she heard this. "Is everyone okay?"

"No one is injured, only the boat is a little damaged. We took it to the county shipyard for repair. They will call me when it is repaired. I will drive it back then. I will take this time to rest. Also, the factory said that we can probably deliver a boat in two days, so we should prepare the balance and pay it in two days and drive the boat back."

"Okay, I'm glad everyone is alright. If the boat is broken, we can send it to the shipyard for repair. That's just fine, we can sail it once it's delivered."

"Ah."

Several dogs took turns holding his thighs, making it impossible for him to move.

"Go, go, go and play."

"Just now, these dogs were barking at the door, so we went out to take a look and found that the boat had docked."

Ye Yaodong reached out and touched the chin of a nearby dog. "It turned out to be your effort. Otherwise, we might have to turn around and stop in the town later, and then walk back on foot."

"Everyone, it's only been nightfall for a short while. You should be more alert in the future and come out to check from time to time. Who knows if there will be any unexpected situations? I give you a raise so that you can work better. Be more serious."

Seeing them nodding their heads repeatedly to admit their mistakes, he stopped holding on to them.

After taking a look, he saw that everyone had loaded the things they brought back, as well as the few groceries that were left, onto the tractor, so he asked the boatmen to go home and rest early.

Originally, the tractor drove to the dock to pull some groceries, but now there was not much cargo, and the Harvest had no groceries at all, so they were all thrown back into the sea. It was also a temporary decision to return.

The existing groceries were all picked out from 11 kilograms of plum fish. He sent his younger brothers to put them in the workshop first. With such a small quantity, he could just call two people to slaughter them tomorrow and there would be no need to work at night.

After all the boatmen had left, the younger brother drove the tractor back to the workshop, and the only ones left were their family members.

Ye Yaodong was carrying the password box and talking to A Qing as he walked. He told her in detail what happened at sea in the past two days, which almost shocked her.

"So many things have happened in just two days at sea. This is too scary."

"Yes, this is a great joy followed by a great shock, and both are first-class prizes."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuqing didn't understand what first prize he was talking about. She just stared at the suitcase in his hand with burning eyes.

Ye Yaodong also handed her the suitcase in his hand, "Take it, everything I earn is yours."

She couldn't help but grin and glared at him in reproach.

"How can it be all mine? When we are a couple, it's not yours and mine."

Ye's father standing nearby couldn't help but roll his eyes at Ye Yaodong and whispered, "How can he be so honest?"

Ye Yaodong then said to her: "Although this trip was quite thrilling, I also made a lot of money. Fortunately, I am smart and resourceful."

"Be careful too."

"Don't tell the old lady when you go back, or she'll be scared and have to keep talking to me."

"Do you think she won't know if I don't tell her? By tomorrow morning, half the village will know."

"Well, there really are no secrets in the village."

They talked as they walked, and Father Ye also talked with Father Pei as they walked. When they reached the fork in the road, they each went their separate ways.

The couple also walked towards the door of their home.

It was pitch black all around, without even a light. Only their house had its light on, as everyone else had gone to bed early.

The old lady was standing at the door and looking around. When she saw him, she came towards him with a smile on her face.

"Is it your ship that's back? Just now the kid came over and said the Harvest is back. I thought you'd be a little late."

"Well, go in first." Ye Yaodong didn't explain much. Just let her think as she pleased. She would know tomorrow. There was no need to interrogate her late at night.

"Do you want to take a shower or wash your feet first? I'll get you some hot water."

Lin Xiuqing held the old lady and said, "I can do it. You are not needed."

The old lady smiled and said, "His fishing boat just came back, and he must have brought back a lot of goods. You still have to go to the workshop to take a look. I will take care of the house."

"I didn't bring back many groceries this time. You don't have to work so late at night. I can just call two more people when I wake up tomorrow."

"Ah? You came back suddenly and didn't stay in advance?"

Ye Yaodong explained, "Yeah."

"Is it because the weather outside is bad? It's sunny at home and the weather is pretty good. The weather at the seaside is really changeable."

"It's not because of the weather, it's because I caught 11 kilograms of plum fish in one net and sold it for too much money. I didn't dare to keep it with me all the time, so I thought of bringing it back first."

The old lady opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but she couldn't find her own voice for a long time.

At this time, Ye Xiaoxi, wearing long-sleeved shirt and long pants, opened the door and ran out barefoot. She called "Dad" again and again, which brought the old lady back to her senses.

Ye Yaodong smiled and caught the child who rushed towards him, picked her up, unzipped his cotton jacket, and wrapped her in it like a kangaroo.

"You've taken off your clothes, why are you still running out? You're not wearing shoes, you're barefoot, are you cold?"

Ye Xiaoxi hugged him excitedly, twisting her neck and shaking her head.

Pei Yu also ran out behind her, both barefoot.

Worried that the two girls didn't wear enough clothes and might catch a cold, as it was still quite cold in the mornings and evenings, Ye Yaodong quickly held the two little girls in one hand and led them back to the room, then put them in bed and hugged them.

The old lady also found her voice and followed him into the room. She pulled him aside and asked in disbelief, "11 kilograms caught in one net? Really? That much?"

"Really, it's absolutely true, that's why I came back early."

"Hongtian, may God bless you, may Mazu bless you, 11 jins, can the boat hold that much?"

"It's just barely enough. Anything that can't fit in the fish hold will be piled on the deck. Together with the original cargo, it will barely reach the maximum load-bearing capacity. If there are more, it may not be able to fit in, and it will have to be loaded onto the Harvest."

"What about the relative? Is he a good catcher as well?"

"It's OK. I caught more fish. I ate the meat and he drank the soup. We caught a little bit, but he still got a good harvest this time."

"That's good……"

Lin Xiuqing also came in with a basin of water, "Take a bath first, or soak your feet first. I'll go make you a bowl of noodles. It's so late, you probably haven't eaten yet?"

"No, I'm very hungry. Cook more."

Ye Yaodong took off his dirty clothes and pants, and looked at the old lady who was still sitting in the house, mumbling "Amitabha, Mazu bless you, Grandpa bless you..."

"Go back to your room and read. I'm going to take a shower."

The old lady stood up immediately and said, "Okay, okay, then you take a shower first. I'll go back to my room to chant. Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you, may Mazu bless you... may you make a lot of money and live in peace..."

After hearing the door close, Ye Yaodong took off all his clothes, bare-chested, and prepared to wring out a towel to wash his face first.

As a result, when he bent down, there was a little guy on his body, using his hands and feet to climb onto his back.

"Hey, ride a horse ...

He reached out and patted the little butt behind him, then stood up and pulled the person off him.

"Go away. You just came back. Don't you smell that you stink? I'll play with you after I wash myself."

"Okay, okay~"

She was easy to talk to and crawled to the side to play with Pei Yu.

The two sisters were laughing and rolling on the bed, from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, and then from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed, and then they started doing somersaults.

Ye Yaodong was taking a shower peacefully, but after a while he was bumped or kicked.

When he stood up to wash his butt, the person behind him somehow rolled behind him, but he stood up, so the person fell directly into the gap between his thighs and the edge of the bed.

Fortunately, after his legs were hit and he felt the person falling down, he quickly straightened his legs and pushed hard towards the bed, trying to clamp the person tightly between the bed and his calves.

It happened in a flash, just a few seconds.

The person was not stuck by him. A person of that size could have been stuck by his calf, but there was a buffer, so he didn't fall to the ground all at once.

It just fell to the ground with a slow thud. He reacted quickly and turned around to rescue her, but he saw that Ye Xiaoxi didn't even cry. She just stared at him with wide eyes and a confused look on her face.

The father and daughter stared at each other.

"How did you play? You didn't even look carefully when you were rolling, and you fell to the ground. Luckily I caught you, otherwise you would have a bump on your head."

As he said this, he picked her up, put her back on the bed, and patted her butt.

"Behave yourself and stop rolling around. This new bed is different from the old one. It's covered on all four sides, so you can roll around wherever you want. If you fall to the ground again, I won't save you and you'll get a bump on your head."

She pursed her lips and said nothing. She lifted the quilt and wrapped herself in it. After a while, loud crying sounds came from under the quilt.

Ye Yaodong turned around in surprise and took a look, "Damn!"

Pei Yu also sat there with a confused look on his face, looking here and there, and then also pulled the quilt.

He was speechless and said, "Why are you crying? You didn't cry when you fell just now, but now that I've put you on the bed, why are you still crying?"

Thinking that I only washed half of the shower, I quickly washed the remaining half first.

When Lin Xiuqing finished cooking the noodles and brought them in, she heard crying from under the quilt and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I don't know. She was rolling around happily just now, but she was about to fall to the ground. I gave her a push to cushion her fall. When I picked her up and put her on the bed, she crawled into the quilt and started crying."

"Have you finished washing? Eat it while it's hot."

She sat down beside the bed, lifted the quilt, pulled out the person whose face was covered with tears and snot, and held him in her arms to comfort him.

"Why are you crying? Huh? Did you fall down?"

She nodded, hugged Lin Xiuqing's neck and continued to cry loudly.

Ye Yaodong was sitting at the table eating noodles while saying, "Then why didn't he cry when he fell to the ground? He only started crying when he was carried to the bed. Isn't his reaction time too long?"

"Did you fall anywhere? Is it hurting anywhere?"

She shook her head and continued crying.

Ye Yaodong came to the bedside with a bowl of noodles, picked up an egg, blew on it, and then touched her mouth.

"Come on, come on, eat an egg to calm your nerves~"

The person who had been crying loudly stopped, her mouth still flat. After he stuffed the egg in, she started chewing it with tears in her eyes.

"Well, don't cry anymore. Come on~ wipe your tears and I'll give you another piece~"

Ye Xiaoxi stretched out the back of her hand, wiped her left eye with her left hand, wiped her right eye with her right hand, and then opened her mouth to take the egg that was handed to her.

Lin Xiuqing, with a smile on her face, used a handkerchief to wipe her nose, and then wiped the remaining tear marks on her face.

Ye Yaodong saw that she was eating with great satisfaction and held back his laughter. He then saw Pei Yu watching her eagerly and fed her a bite as well.

Ye Xiaoxi stretched her head forward again, "More~"

Lin Xiuqing stopped him from feeding them, "You eat yours, don't worry about these two, the noodles will get mushy if left out for too long, they want to eat, I'll go fry two more eggs for them now."

"Then go and fry yours. I'll feed them a couple more bites first."

"You eat first. Didn't you just say you were hungry?"

"understood."

After Ye Yaodong took a big sip himself, he fed the two of them one by one.

After the two little girls ate, they sat quietly side by side waiting to be fed.

"You two are lucky. You can even have a midnight snack. Your two brothers have nothing to eat. But you two are so heartless. Your own father has come back, but they didn't even bother to go downstairs to take a look."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded while eating, not knowing whether she understood or not.

After feeding both of them, Ye Yaodong ate the remaining noodles and also ate the two eggs that Lin Xiuqing had added.

After eating and drinking, the couple opened the suitcase.

Looking at the piles of money, both of them's eyes lit up.

Even though it was only 2 yuan, it was scattered all over the suitcase. It was still shocking when I first opened it. I saw it with my own eyes, but it felt more real just by hearing the number.

"So many..."

"That's it! Damn, I really made a lot of money on this trip. I made 2 yuan in one go. I never thought of that in my dreams."

"My dear, if Dad hadn't gone with you and knew you were going to trawl, I would have suspected what you were doing. You can earn so much in just two days. It's not that easy to pick up money."

Lin Xiuqing grabbed a handful here and there, her eyes full of surprise.

Anyway, the money in the box was in a mess and scattered everywhere, so it didn't matter if she just grabbed it.

"I think so too. Picking up money is not as fast as making money for me."

"Have you counted them?"

"I counted them at the beginning, but I forgot how many were left after taking them out again and again."

"Where are you going to take it? Didn't you say you can get it directly on the ship after you sell the goods?"

"Give all the farmhands red envelopes to calm their nerves."

"Oh."

"You count, and when you count 1000, take out one and fold it, so that the quantities won't be mixed up."

She nodded happily, and when she saw a chubby little hand reaching out to her, she patted it without hesitation.

"Children, don't move!"

Ye Xiaoxi touched the back of her hand that was slapped red, and went straight into Ye Yaodong's arms. Then she stretched her arms in front of him, pursed her lips, and silently complained.

Ye Yaodong smiled and touched her twice, then blew on her. "It doesn't hurt anymore. This money belongs to your mother, you can't touch it."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glared at him, then continued to sort them out one by one while counting silently.

"Do you know what your mother likes most?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at him in confusion.

"Money, your mother loves money the most, hahahaha~"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and touched a handful of money, and couldn't help but pat him twice, "You don't like money?"

"I like it! I like money the most too, hahahaha~"

"It's all your fault. You forgot how many you counted."

"Then count it again and experience the joy of counting money more."

Lin Xiuqing grinned, "Why don't you help count them."

"I have already counted the money when I collected it. Now it is your turn. This box of money will be your exclusive happiness tonight."

She laughed out loud with joy.

Ye Yaodong rolled over with the children in his arms and played with them, and the room was filled with laughter.

Half an hour later, Lin Xiuqing counted the money twice before placing the money neatly in stacks on the table.

"Did you finish counting?"

"After counting, with these added in, our family now has 6 yuan in whole bills, and there are more than 2 yuan in change. The dark box is almost full."

"You think the money is too much?"

"No, I was just wondering when we can go to the bank to get some change?"

"Or, deposit some in the bank?"

"That won't work. Who knows if people will recognize it after it's been deposited for a long time? Of course, you should keep your own money in your own hands."

"Well, then keep all the change for paying wages. After all, the temporary workers are paid a few dollars each time they finish their work. Don't you use the malted milk jar to classify the 1 cent, 2 cent, and 5 cent coins? The malted milk jar is so big, it can hold a lot of things. When it can't hold any more, we can go and change it."

"Well, I'll put these away first."

"A ship can be delivered in the next two days. Remember to count the balance first."

"I see. Anyway, there is nothing to do these two days. If you want to go sailing, tell me and I will prepare the money for you."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and asked again, "Have you seen Lin Ji in the past two days?"

"No, I don't have time to wander around the village all day, so why are you looking for him?"

"The caviar is still in my hand. I wanted to ask him if he wanted some. Last time he just said he wanted to ask and then he disappeared."

"Is it because they just got the batch of canned fish and shipped it away first, so they haven't come back yet?" Lin Xiuqing asked in a low voice.

"Maybe. I wanted to ask him to buy a telescope, but he just said it's unpopular and hard to get, so I have to wait."

"What telescope? What's it for?"

"You can see more clearly at sea. For example, if you encounter pirates this time, you can't see how many people are far away with your eyes alone on the boat. In addition, the sun is glaring, so you can see more clearly with a telescope."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "Then we should buy this one."

"I don't feel bad about it. This is very expensive. I might get a few hundred or even a thousand dollars."

"It's so expensive!" She felt distressed for a moment, but still said, "As long as it's useful, money is not as important as your safety. Then when you get up tomorrow, go to his house and ask his wife."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong hugged his daughter and kissed her contentedly.

Ye Xiaoxi happily kissed him back several times, her saliva covering his face.

"Ah, you're so disgusting, it's all your saliva... rub it on yourself, rub it on yourself..."

Ye Yaodong rubbed his head against her chest, which made her giggle and run around the bed to avoid it.

"It's so itchy, no~no~"

Lin Xiuqing put away all the money and then locked the cabinets. The people on the bed were still laughing and rolling around.

"Okay, stop playing. It's late. It's almost 10 o'clock. Hurry up and get them to sleep. The noise you make will disturb the neighbors."

Ye Yaodong immediately held down the two children in his arms, patted their heads with a smile, and said, "Okay, it's time to go to sleep, stop playing."

"I still want to play~"

"Let's play tomorrow. Now it's time to go to bed. If you don't sleep you won't grow taller."

"Ok."

Ye Xiaoxi climbed directly to her seat and pulled the quilt over herself.

Pei Yu also crawled inside her, and when the two of them were pressed together, they giggled for a while.

"You guys go to sleep first. I'll go out and take a look around and check before coming back." After Lin Xiuqing said this, she pulled the power cord of the light.

Ye Yaodong also lay down, patted Ye Xiaoxi's chest, and coaxed her to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the little girl also turned around and stretched out her little hands to pat his chest.

So thoughtful.

The two brats didn't even come downstairs to take a look.

The next morning, I saw him sitting there eating and asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you back?"

"I can't come back?"

"I said I heard my sister calling me dad last night, but my brother said no."

"I went to the stairs and saw my mother secretly cooking something to eat."

"You won't ask one more question?"

"Then she'll know I'm not asleep."

"Then why are you not sleeping so late?"

Ye Chenghu shrank his neck and said nothing.

"My brother is playing with a piggy bank. Mom bought two piggy banks yesterday."

"Oh? What does he look like?"

Ye Chengyang actively ran upstairs to get it for him.

It was a little boy's ceramic piggy bank. There was a hole on it for coins, and banknotes could also be stuffed in by folding them. But when he looked behind it, he found there was no opening.

I was suddenly happy because I could only go in but not out.

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and said, "This one is for the little boy, and the other one is a small plastic TV-shaped piggy bank. You can only put things in, but not take them out. This also prevents them from spending money recklessly. Whose children have more money than them?"

“And one in the shape of a small TV?”

"Yes, I didn't see any suitable piggy banks when I went to the market some time ago, so I took advantage of the good weather yesterday to go to town to buy cloth to make two small clothes for... and I happened to see it at the supply and marketing cooperative. The piggy bank in the shape of a TV comes with a key, but I put the key away."

"That's good. It helps them develop a good habit of saving money since they are young. By the time they turn 18, they will have enough to get married."

"No, wife. This is my money. I can't give it to my wife." Ye Chengyang held the piggy bank in his hand like a miser and protested.

"You don't want a wife, you want money? Then what about you, Ye Chenghu? Do you want a wife?"

"do not want!"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "How would they know what a wife is? Don't tease them."

"I know my wife wants to sleep with me, but I don't want to."

"What?"

"Didn't I tell you? It's so crowded when sleeping. Yangyang always kicks me when he sleeps and even grabs my blanket. It's so annoying."

"Ok."

Lin Xiuqing knocked on the table and said, "Hurry up and eat. Stop talking nonsense."

"Dad, now that you're back, can we go out and earn money again today?"

"Probably not today. We brought back little goods, so it probably won't be your turn to do it."

"Why don't you bring some more?"

"Why, are you addicted to making money?"

The two brothers nodded desperately.

Ye Chengyang also shook the piggy bank and said happily: "It's much better now. Mom said that when it's full, I will be grown up."

"Almost. Then we can smash it open with a hammer."

"No, you can't break it open."

"That's even better. When you have saved enough, ask your mother to buy you one and continue saving."

Ye Chengyang nodded, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.

After eating for a while, Ye Yaodong noticed that there were two large bowls of porridge on the table, but no one came to eat yet.

"Where are my parents? So late today? I'm already up, but they haven't come over for dinner yet?"

"I don't know? Maybe I got up late."

How could his parents get up late?

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Ye's mother entered the room, she asked, "Dongzi, did you get any money on the boat?"

Ye's father followed him into the house and winked at him, but was caught red-handed by Ye's mother who turned around.

"Do you have an eye cramp or something's wrong with your eyes?"

"No, I walked too fast and some sand got into my eyes, so I blinked a few more times."

"You're old enough to tell others about this and they'll all laugh at you. Who do you keep your secret money for? Are you attracted to some young widow?"

"What nonsense! The child is still here. If you say this to others, they will laugh at you to death."

"I heard from others that you got several pieces from the pirates yesterday?"

"What? What pirates?"

The old lady immediately sat up from the armchair excitedly, and quickly pulled Ye's father to ask: "What pirates? Why are we fighting pirates?"

"Ah?" Father Ye looked here and there.

The old lady hit him on the calf with her cane again, "What's wrong with you? Are you mute? I'm asking you a question, look around, who are you looking at? You're still trying to cheat at this age... After cheating on your wife, you're now cheating on me..."

"No, I lied to you, why did you hit me? It was early in the morning, and the whole village was informed of it. You didn't know and you blame me?"

"Who told you not to say it? I'm old, can I still run around all day?"
