Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1056: 13 in savings (1 words, monthly ticket +29)

After the meal, Ye Chengyang couldn't help but come over, and spread his hands, and said slyly: "Dad, you haven't given me a dime yet, give me the money first, and I will pick flowers for you later."

"Chenghe always picks the flowers first and then pays. Why should I pay first?"

"He is always at home, and you are often not at home. You can give me money first. I can also pick flowers and give them to mom when you are not at home."

"You're worried that I'll be away from home and make you less money."

"Dad, Mom will definitely be very happy to receive flowers. Chenghe said that as long as they are women, from 80 to three years old, they all like flowers."

Ye Yaodong thought about it. Wasn't it him who said this? When he asked Chenghe to pursue his girlfriend, he also asked him to send flowers.

"When did you become so keen on making money?"

“I’m going to fill my piggy bank.”

Seeing his ambitious look, Ye Yaodong thought he might as well make a contribution.

He felt in his pocket and took out two nickels. "Don't let your brother see. Pick a lot of flowers and bring two straw ropes to tie them together for me."

"Okay okay."

Ye Chengyang took it excitedly, held it in his palm, then turned his head and looked left and right carefully. Only when he was relieved that no one was watching did he stuff the coins into his pockets one by one.

"Is this to prevent collisions and noises when running and jumping?"

"Yes, yes, otherwise my walking will make noise, I have to take it upstairs first." He ran home.

The other children had finished their meals long ago and were already calling each other and their friends at the door. They had to go to school at 1:30, but it was only 12 o'clock when they finished their meals and they had to rush to school. Who knew where they would go to play on the way to kill time.

Ye Chenghe held a bunch of flowers in his hand and waved to everyone happily, "I'm leaving first. I'll wait for you at school."

Everyone else rolled their eyes.

Ye Chengjiang said disdainfully: "You can't eat it or play with it. I don't know what you're doing with that broken flower every day."

Ye Chenghai also said: "Don't bother with him, he's stupid, following others around every day."

Ye Xiuxiu was a little curious, "Shouldn't we call him on the mountain later?"

"I think the flowers are beautiful. I want to pick some later." Ye Jingjing was still holding a fallen azalea in her hand.

"Where are you going to do later?" Ye Yaodong looked at them curiously and muttered.

"We are going to..."

Ye Jingjing was about to speak, but Ye Chenghai covered her mouth and said, "I won't tell you."

"Tsk, you guys are going up the mountain at this time, either to steal cherries, plums or loquats, do you think I don't know?"

How could he not know what was growing on the surrounding mountains?

How could he not know when and what fruit would ripen?
They can't go up the mountain to pick flowers like that silly boy Ye Chenghe, right?

When it comes to plums, his mouth starts to water.

"Nothing can be hidden from Uncle San. So, Uncle San, do you want to go with us?"

Everyone looked at him with bright eyes.

"No, would I be stupid enough to go with you guys and get chased? If you want to go, go by yourself."

Thinking of this, he felt a little greedy and wanted to eat loquats. Some families in the village also planted a few loquat trees. He would take a basket and buy a few pounds later.

When they heard that he was not going, several people felt a little regretful. They still missed the time two years ago when Ye Yaodong took them to the mountains to steal cherries.

They waited for a while, and when everyone arrived, they hurriedly ran away with their backpacks on their backs.

Ye Yaodong also took a basket to buy loquats.

But the loquats were picked freshly, and when he asked for them, they took him directly to the mountain to pick them. As luck would have it, they caught a few children who were picking them secretly.

I didn't know and thought he deliberately brought people up the mountain to catch them. In the end, he had no choice but to pay the money and let them each pick up a backpack and happily go down the mountain to school.

He also picked half a basket of loquats and half a basket of pink cherries, and also got a bunch of plums as a gift. However, they were so green that his mouth felt sour just by looking at them.

It's just that two stupid kids didn't know.

As soon as he brought it home, the two little girls in the family immediately came to greet him happily. Then each of them grabbed a handful of cherries and put them in their pockets, and then grabbed plums and loquats with one hand, taking everything.

"I haven't washed it yet..."

There was no time to say anything. The two little girls had already put the plums in their mouths and started biting them. They immediately became so sore that they could not see at all and their facial features were distorted.

Pei Yu swallowed it dryly, and then stuck out his tongue, "Puh, phuh, phuh..."

Ye Xiaoxi couldn't spit it out or swallow it. It was so sour in her mouth that she almost cried. She turned around and saw several dogs running to the basket and sniffing it madly.

She immediately threw the loquat in her hand back into the basket, put her free hand to her mouth and spit it out, put it in the palm of her hand, then hooked the dog's neck and stuffed the loquat into the dog's mouth.

"Eat, eat... don't waste it... eat quickly..."

Stuffing one hand with plums was not enough, so he took a bite of the remaining plum and stuffed that into its mouth as well.

"Eat, eat, be good~ Don't waste it~"

Pei Yu followed suit, hugged the nearest dog, and stuffed the remaining plums in his hand into the dog's mouth.

The two poor dogs' eyes were narrowed together, and their mouths were held down by two small hands, so they couldn't open them, and could only whimper.

Ye Xiaoxi was still feeling proud of his own cleverness, grinning. Seeing that the dog did not resist, he patted the dog's head, "Hehe, good boy~"

Ye Yaodong looked at her speechlessly. The dog at home was almost bullied to death by her, and now there was another one, Pei Yu, who kept following her and imitating her.

He didn't care about them anymore. Both of their pockets were full, so he just walked straight into the house.

After the dog was freed, it immediately ran to the vegetable field nearby, dug up the soil, spit out the plum in its mouth, and then buried it with soil.

The two little girls happily sat on the steps at the door and ate the cherries with relish.

Lin Xiuqing was also very happy to see him carrying a basket of loquat cherries back, "Peel the loquats for me, and I will cook a pot of canned loquats."

"It's a waste of time. You can just peel it and eat it. Why cook canned loquats?"

"It's a change of season now. Xiaoyu and your daughter have had a cough these past two days. Cook some for them. Add two loquat leaves and some rock sugar to help relieve their coughs."

"alright."

When he is idle at home, he will be ordered around, and he is somewhat used to it. He just does whatever he is told to do. If he doesn't do it, there will always be a bunch of reasons to call him and there will always be something for him to do.

Anyway, I just can't stand seeing him sitting there idly.

He took a basin filled with clean water and took it to the door, where he peeled and ate the loquats himself, and stuffed some into the mouths of the two girls. When he had peeled half a basket of loquats, there were only a few left in the basin. The two girls' stomachs were full, and they willingly followed him to take a nap.

He didn't wake up until the sun was setting. He covered the two girls, who were sleeping in a spread-eagle position with their bellies exposed, with their small quilts covering them because they had kicked off the quilts because they were too hot.

Both of their sleeping faces were rosy and pink, and their hair was still wet and stuck to their foreheads. Their chests kept rising and falling with their breathing, and their mouths were open, opening and closing, looking particularly cute.

He smiled knowingly and then got out of bed.

The weather is so cold and so cold, and it gets hot very quickly. Fortunately, we sleep with the window open, so it's not stuffy. It's just that the children are hot-tempered and sweat easily.

There was a bowl of loquat soup on the table outside the main room. It was still warm when I touched it and hadn't cooled down yet. I didn't know where Ah Qing had gone.

He asked the old lady to look after the two children and then went out for a walk.

After walking around, I heard new gossip.

Xu Lai Fu's mother, who had one hand broken, went to Wang Laowu's house to ask for Wang Lizhen's hand in marriage, but was scolded out by Wang Lizhen.

"I was called a toad wanting to eat a swan, and I made people laugh to death, so I said I was a swan..."

"Then Lai Fu's mother scolded her for being a pheasant and wanting to turn into a swan. If it weren't for her ability to lay eggs, who would want her? She's an old hen who doesn't know how to do things. The two of them started fighting at the door..."

"I haven't seen Lai Fu for a year or two. I don't know what he looks like now. I heard that he offended someone and had one of his arms cut off. He's really pitiful. He's half disabled now."

"He wasn't a good person in the first place. He was always stealing things all day long... He's still so miserable now. It's strange that a woman would marry him..."

"Yes, if you marry a man, he will provide you with food and clothing. It's already difficult for you to feed yourself, and you want to marry another one. Who will support whom?"

"I heard that I wanted to spend a few hundred yuan to find someone to buy one, but the village committee came to my house and scolded me, saying that human trafficking is not allowed and I will go to jail..."

"That's definitely not possible. Those human traffickers are so cruel and they love to abduct and sell women and children. If their family buys one back, it would be a crime and they would go to jail."

"So, now I'm trying to find a virgin girl nearby for a few hundred dollars, but I can't find one, so I'm thinking of marrying a remarried woman. But it seems that no one is willing to marry an older woman."

"Of course, I'm not a fool. I can still make a living on my own. If I covet those few hundred dollars and push myself into the fire pit, my later life will be even more miserable."

……

Ye Yaodong found it weird after hearing this.

As for Wang Lizhen, his second aunt had been thinking of giving her to Brother Asheng.

A quick comparison will tell you who is better and who will marry the disabled Xu Lai Fu.

Sure enough, during dinner, he heard his mother say that Wang Lizhen went to A Sheng's house again to make a scene and demanded compensation from them.

Asheng's wife had been pregnant for more than three months and had gotten out of bed to walk. She was so angry that she hit someone with a broom, then sat on the ground, holding her stomach and crying in pain. She pulled Wang Lizhen's pants and refused to let her go, crying and screaming, and demanded compensation from her.

When Aunt Ye Er heard about it, she rushed over and scolded Wang Lizhen, and the two started fighting again.

"You don't know how badly the two of them fought. It's really rare for your second aunt to be able to stand up for Ah Sheng's wife."

"Are you worried that there might be something wrong with the baby in your belly?" Ye Yaodong said casually.

Lin Xiuqing also said: "She also makes all kinds of messy magic water every day, such as incense ash soaked in water and so on."

Mother Ye sneered, "She did all this just to get her to give birth to a boy. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with her behavior. She just thinks she's been very good to her daughter-in-law and is considerate of others. She did all these things to help her have a boy. But now someone is coming to her house to harm her future grandson, so she's definitely going to fight to the death."

Father Ye muttered, "It would be great if you could just stop making trouble."

"and then?"

“Then they were pulled away and persuaded to go back by the women.”

"Is sister-in-law okay?"

"It's okay, she was just pretending, but she did her best. She went back to lie down."

"There are so many things going on. There is Wang Lizhen here, and there is also Haozi's ex-wife in Wang Laohan's house. These two are cousins, and now they are both in trouble."

Mother Ye said disdainfully, "Are you afraid that no one will want you? There are many old bachelors who can't find a wife. You don't even need to take off all your clothes. Just lie down on the street. There will be many people who will drag you home."

Father Ye was almost choked by her fierce words, "What are you talking about? So many children are still here."

Ye Chenghu laughed, "Just pretend I'm not here."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him and said, "What does the master have to do with you? Eat your meal quickly."

Whenever it was time to eat, gossip was the most talked about topic at his table, which basically all came from his mother. What his mother knew meant that the whole family knew it when it was time to eat.

As long as it has nothing to do with their family, it sounds particularly appetizing.

He had just helped his father get the old boat ashore and was very hungry. He ate while listening, enjoying the conversation very much.

After his mother finished talking about the gossip in her own village, she went on to talk about the gossip in the neighboring village without stopping.

I didn't realize his mother was so talkative before, until his father urged her to eat quickly and stop talking, then his mother restrained herself.

His father also changed the subject and talked about his eldest brother driving the boat back tomorrow, and asked him to go to bed early at night and get up early tomorrow to help.

At the door, his sister-in-law was still opening oysters by the light of the lamp, which she had pried off from the bottom of the boat.

At mealtime, she cooked a few in the shell, without the diesel smell, and continued working after the meal.

And after dinner, his mother, sister-in-law and A-Qing also moved a stool over to help open the door, otherwise she would not be able to open much in one night by herself.

After dinner, the children were happily running and jumping outside the door. As the weather got warmer, everyone wore less clothes, so they didn’t feel burdened when running and had more fun.

The younger ones kept falling down, and you could always hear one crying or the other. Lin Xiuqing was busy standing up to comfort the children.

Sometimes one hand got a bruise, sometimes the other knee got a bruise. It was because the weather was hot and people had to wear thin pants, so she kept going in and out, giving matcha oil to this person and that person.

Later, she became impatient and stuffed Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu into his hands. He stayed in the room, crossed his legs, watched TV, and ate melon seeds, feeling extremely happy.

However, the two children couldn't sit still. The old lady was afraid that they would be too noisy and disturb Ye Yaodong while watching TV, so she took the two of them to the chicken coop to look for eggs.

The old lady lit a candle and didn't turn on the lights in the room. There was only the light of the candle. The two girls opened their eyes wide with curiosity and watched quietly, being very well behaved.

I watched the old lady take an egg out of the hen's nest, and then use the light of a candle to shine it in the darkness, looking at the shadow inside to see if it had hatched successfully.

If you put a nest of eggs in to incubate, there will always be some that won't hatch. If you find them early and pick them out, the eggs can still be eaten.

The two girls were amazed at the old lady's actions. One of them stood on either side and imitated her by tilting their heads to look, with their mouths wide open the whole time.

I watched the old lady take a look at each egg, then put the eggs that failed to hatch at her feet, and put the eggs that could hatch back under the hen's butt.

Seeing that they were quiet and silent, Ye Yaodong went to take a look out of curiosity. He only saw three tilted heads, so he ignored them. He thought it would be better if they behaved themselves. He was afraid that they would act strangely and quietly.

When Lin Xiuqing hurried back to her room to sleep, she discovered that a bunch of rhododendrons had appeared in the room at some point, and they were placed in a broken vase that Ye Yaodong had picked up from the sea.

It is bright red and looks particularly beautiful. It also adds a different color to the room. It makes people happy and is pleasing to the eye.

She looked at the two children playing on the bed with a smile on her face, "When did you bring the flowers from the window into the vase?"

In the afternoon, he helped his elder brother get the boat ashore and was not at home. When Ye Chengyang came back from herding sheep and didn't see him, he just put the flowers on the window.

He waited until after dinner, when she wasn't paying attention, before taking the flowers back to the room and putting them in the vase.

This slightly damaged vase that was fished out of the sea had only been used to put flowers to good use a few times and had been lying idle for a while. Now it was time to put it to good use.

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good. The azaleas are all over the mountain. Even when I look at the mountain from home, I think it looks good. It's a big patch of red. But the flowering period should be over soon."

“I paid for this!”

"Ah?" She looked puzzled and surprised. "Aren't these flowers everywhere on the mountain? Why do you have to spend money to buy them? Your money is so hot. Who did you buy them from? You still have to buy a few flowers..."

"I bought it from your son. He's quite capable of earning money at such a young age. He told me it would cost one cent to pick a bunch, so I paid him ten cents directly. He picked the fruits for me for 10 days."

"Yangyang? Hasn't this kid been picking azaleas for more than ten days? I see him bringing back a bunch of azaleas every day. How come he thought of selling them to you?"

It turned out that it was her own son who earned the money. Lin Xiuqing was no longer anxious and started to smile too.

It’s good if the benefits are kept within the family.

Ye Yaodong told her the reason, and she couldn't help shaking her head.

"Chenghe is so smart too early, isn't he? He even knows how to use flowers to cheer up a little girl."

"I guess I can get married when I turn 18."

"Haha, then my elder brother and his wife will probably be able to have grandchildren before they are 40 years old..."

After Lin Xiuqing happily rubbed her flowers for a few times, she went out to make malted milk for the two little ones. After they finished drinking, she held them in her arms and helped them pee before coaxing them to sleep.

Then after coaxing the younger one, he was forced to coax the older one, who was more difficult to coax.

Ye Yaodong finally fell asleep feeling relaxed and at ease.

The next morning, when Ye Yaopeng's boat returned, the village was in an uproar again.

Originally, Ye's mother had already revealed that the boat Ye Yaopeng booked would be returning in the next few days, but unfortunately, there has been constant news updates in the village during this period of time, and there was another incident yesterday that grabbed all the headlines.

Fortunately, after the boat returned to the dock, Mrs. Ye wore new clothes and distributed sweets and cakes everywhere. She also advertised their boat everywhere, and regained the headlines of Baisha Village, enjoying a great deal of glory.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the boats that came back these days are all from your family, you're really amazing..."

"Yes, yes, how many boats do you have in your family? All the boats in the village combined are not as many as your family's, right?"

"No way, no way... hehe... everyone should just enjoy the good fortune..."

"You already have a boat, and now you're bringing it back, so you have so many boats now, is that enough to share among the people in your family?"

"Really? I've seen your family tremble in the past two years..."

"Another boat has arrived. How many boats have you guys not returned yet?"

"No wonder when I went to the shipyard to inquire last year, they said that the delivery date was scheduled for next year. Could it be that all the space was occupied by your family?"

"No, no, haha, we only have this one boat, and Ah Hua's boat will be back next week..."

"Oh, there really are more? Can they make it here? You have so many ships? You must have made a fortune in the past few years..."

"You're so good at making money... How come everyone in your family is so good at making money?"

"You guys have earned all the money. Have you invited the God of Wealth home in the past few years?"

There were all kinds of words of envy and jealousy, and Mrs. Ye was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Mrs. Ye was envious of her glorious appearance today, but fortunately, it would be her turn in a week. She was so happy that she had already prepared new clothes, waiting to wear them on that day.

After Ye Yaodong waited for the boat to come back, he went straight home. Since it was not his boat, the glory did not belong to him, so he just let his elder brother deal with the villagers.

But he had just got home and had a sip of tea, and before he could even sit down, his father came over and asked him to paint the boat. He had scraped the bottom of the boat clean yesterday and left it on the shore to dry for a day, so it was ready for painting today.

He hurried on to work without even touching the ground.

The two little ones had nothing to do so they followed him out.

Ye Yaodong thought that they were just painting on the shore anyway, so he didn't send them back and let them come out to play on the beach.

The two of them were so happy when they saw the sand. They started playing with the dogs without any adults watching over them.

The father and son spent a week painting the boat, and after it dried, they applied several coats of paint.

The promised rain never came. It was just cloudy all the time, and the wind and waves were a little stronger, but it had no effect on them.

Anyway, the Harvest boat was still being repaired, so the father and son were resting at home leisurely and calmly. The work of maintaining the fishing boat only took two or three hours a day, but it was not like they were just waiting there doing nothing.

After Ye Yaopeng got his boat, it would soon be Ye Yaohua's turn.

The father and son did not even wait for the Harvest to be repaired and put out to sea. They rested until Ye Yaohua's ship returned. The dock became lively again with the sound of firecrackers, and their home became prosperous again.

His father and mother also looked extremely beaming. They walked with a breeze and their smiles could not be suppressed wherever they went.

The thresholds of his elder and second elder brothers' houses next door were almost worn out, and many people came to their house as a result, trying to politely establish relationships with them, and even mentioning all the relatives they had come from far away.

He was too lazy to deal with it, so he just went to sit at the entrance of the workshop and watch the gate.

"Brother Dong, I heard that there are many navy soldiers in our town."

"It is said that a lighthouse is going to be built on an island outside the town. Is it true? I heard that there are more tractors and trucks on the road recently."

"It should be true. I heard the village committee mention it a week ago."

Ye Yaodong gave each of the twins a cigarette, then lit it for himself and moved over to let them take over.

"Really?"

"What's there to be surprised about? It has nothing to do with us."

"Isn't this just curiosity? Which island will it be built on? What will it look like? The town must be very busy these days. There should be ships transporting goods back and forth on the sea, so it should be very peaceful."

"Maybe."

He didn't really care, as it existed in his previous life, but he just couldn't remember when it was built.

It is good to have a lighthouse, which can provide guidance at sea. The light can be seen from several miles away, benefiting the surrounding fishermen and passing fishing boats.

"Brother Dong, when you sailed back this morning, didn't you see the lighthouse being built somewhere?"

"No, who knows which route the island is on? Moreover, it's not covered, so we can't see where it is. You have to go to the island with a purpose to find out, or you have to meet a fishing boat transporting it. We have to rush back, so there's no way we can go around."

"Oh, Dong brother, your second brother's boat has come back. Does he have to return your boat to you? Then you can sail out to see where the lighthouse is built?"

"I'm too full. Why should I go out on a special trip to look for it? When will the Harvest be repaired? I can take a look when I pass by it when I go out to sea, or I can see it naturally after it is built. Why should I rush? You can't see anything if it's not built yet. There is only one deserted island."

"You're not curious."

"Not curious."

I've seen it in my previous life.

Both twin brothers looked regretful.

"We actually want to see the navy. We heard it's very impressive and glorious. The sailor shirts are so cool..."

"That's true. The sailor shirt is really the dream of many people." He had actually fantasized about it, but he was not lucky enough to do so.

"But they are going to support the construction, so they may not wear the same clothes as us when we work."

"Oh."

"Then Brother Dong, now that you have your boat back, are you going to rent it out again?"

"Ah."

"Rent it now? Do you want to go out and set up the net for a few days?"

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "You really want to go out and take a look? Then just take a boat out and take a look yourself."

"We don't know how to do that. We can only pick up some goods. If we go out further, we won't be able to tell east from west. We can go out but we can't come back."

"No, Brother Dong, I mean, can I rent your boat for my dad?"

"How old is your father? Do you still plan to go out to sea and work hard?"

These twins are quite filial. Just like Wang Guangliang, they are always thinking about finding a job as doorkeepers for their father.

"I have too many brothers. I have three older brothers and two older sisters, and I have a younger brother and a younger sister behind me."

"Hiss, so many?"

He counted on his fingers, including the two brothers, there must be nine children in the family? They would even go bankrupt if they were fed.

"I don't have that many. Chen Shi's family has 11."

"Ah! You are so fertile? Don't your parents have anything to do at night?"

The two brothers also laughed.

"However, your family has a large population, and my family also has many relatives. My father's side is a little less, but my mother has 8 brothers and sisters. I have to take care of my own relatives first, so you guys should line up at the back."

"Okay, okay. I'm just asking casually. If they can do it, that's great. If not, that's fine too. Let them find something to do on their own. As long as we two brothers can support ourselves, we'll be blessed."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong had the rare opportunity to chat with them about their families, so he simply learned about each of their family backgrounds and population.

Originally, I just thought that everyone came here to work, so there was no need to check their household registration. If I really wanted to know something, I could just ask around. There were no secrets in the nearby villages.

I'm bored now, so it's nice to just ask.

He sat there until lunchtime, then went home to eat.

But as soon as he sat down at the dinner table, his mother said that A Guang's eldest sister had been broken off from engagement again.

"It's not that the Pei family has retired, but that they have retired Uncle Pei's family?" Ye Yaodong asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I heard that they came to our house this morning and asked to get married sooner. They said that the two children have been talking about it since the beginning of the year, and it has been four or five months now, so it's almost time to get married."

"Although the in-laws are uncomfortable, they also want their daughter to get married as soon as possible to avoid any gossip. The old woman is just an old woman and she won't live for many more years."

"But his daughter was very angry. She said she didn't want to get married yet and wanted to wait and see. She probably wanted to see the attitude of the other family. But the family didn't want to wait. They said their children were not young anymore and that other children of the same age were already fathers. Then they couldn't come to an agreement and finally decided to forget it and get married separately."

Lin Xiuqing sighed, "Then I'll try looking for someone again. It'll probably be even harder to find one. I've called off my engagement twice, although both times I had reasons."

"It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but how can we be sure that there are no two-legged men? If that doesn't work, we can ask one of the brothers working there to take his place."

Ye Yaodong felt that this was not a big deal at all. He already had a generous dowry, so why would he be worried about not being able to find a man?

Isn't it possible to pick anyone in the whole town? What's wrong with breaking off an engagement? A widow can easily marry a first-timer, and there are people lining up to get married, not to mention a virgin girl, who can easily marry in a town, and there is no need to limit herself to the countryside.

Mother Ye smiled and said, "How can that be possible? There is a big age difference. The ones you have there are probably only 17 or 18 years old."

"What's the big deal? A girl who's one year old holds a golden rooster. A girl who's two years old holds a jar full of gold. A girl who's three years old holds a golden brick. A girl who's four years old holds a long life. A girl who's five years old holds a mother. A girl who's six years old holds not enough joy. A girl who's seven years old holds a smile. A girl who's eight years old holds a fortune. A girl who's nine years old holds everything. A girl who's ten years old holds everything."

What's more, he is a strong young man of seventeen or eighteen years old and has a lot of energy. What's wrong with that?
"That's true, but there's a big age difference. Generally, men are older than women, and women are older than men. It's rare for one to be older than three years. What's more, the ones who work for you were all idle before..."

"What's wrong with being idle? Can't you change your ways if you're idle? Being idle doesn't affect you in any way. Didn't I idle before? Look at me now, do you still think I'm idle? Many people slap their thighs and regret not marrying me."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "Then tell me, how many people regretted not marrying you?"

"There are so many of them that they can line up from our doorstep to the town. If I could be as successful as I am now, just for my face, the county leaders would be eager to snatch their daughters to marry me." Ye Yaodong was very proud.

"He's always good at bragging."

Ye Chenghu was very supportive and said, "Dad, you look good."

Ye Chengyang also nodded, "Dad is the most handsome, not the cricket."

Ye Yaodong became even more proud, and pinched Ye Xiaoxi's cheek, "What do you think?"

"I want to marry Dad!"

"Marry my uncle!"

Everyone at the table was happy.

"nonsense."

The two little girls didn't know what they had said wrong, nor did they know what the adults were laughing at. They looked at each other curiously.

"Dad already has a wife, your mother, and he can't marry again."

"Then you can marry her!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I don't want it." Ye Chenghu quickly objected.

Ye Yaodong smiled and asked, "Why not?"

"She eats too much... I don't have any money... I don't want it..."

The adults all laughed.

Ye Xiaoxi also hummed and made faces at him, then buried her head in her food and continued to eat.

After everyone laughed, they immediately chose to condemn Ye Yaodong for being careless with his words and corrupting the children.

Ye Yaodong stopped talking nonsense. The young men in his company were indeed a little young, only seventeen or eighteen years old. They could be paired with A Guang's younger sister, as they were only two or three years older, which was just right. However, the older sister was much younger than him.

It's not a big deal if the man is five or six years older, seven or eight years older, or even ten years older than the woman. But if it's the other way around, not to mention the current trend, it will also be gossip in the future.

But in his opinion, it is still easy to get married. He can pick any handsome young man in the surrounding area. What is there to be afraid of?
What's more, his father remarried, so the whole family became bigger and he had more brothers. The children brought by his stepmother were also brothers and could provide support.

He had also heard from Uncle Pei that he planned to take one more person with him after the Harvest was repaired, and bring his older stepson to train at sea as well.

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. If you have no ability to do anything else, you can only go out to sea to make a living.

Wait for a year and a half of training, and then you can stay at home and help with receiving the goods. But you can't just go and receive the goods without knowing anything, and you won't be able to recognize all the fish, and you will easily be fooled.

Carrying it with you more often can also broaden your horizons.

Father Ye also said at this time: "The Harvest has been under repair for so long, but it is still not repaired. We don't know when it will be repaired. Your second brother's boat has been returned to you. Why don't you go out to sea and fish with longlines for a few days?"

"What did the shipyard say this morning?"

"They said the spare parts haven't arrived yet. They can only be replaced after they get them. I don't know when they will arrive. Their boat is big, and they have to pre-order all the parts for the propeller. It's not like other trawlers, where there's plenty of stock."

"Okay then, let's settle the bill first in the evening."

"Well, today happens to be the 30th. Let's settle the accounts. You three can each start your own boats. You don't have to get together every month to settle the accounts for half a day."

"Hurry up and go. After the accounts of the eldest and second brothers are settled, we still have to settle the accounts of Asheng and the eldest cousin. They also have a large amount of money this month. I estimate that they can get more than 1000 yuan. It's a lot of money."

"How much money can you make this month by drying squids into jerky?" Ye's mother asked curiously.

"I don't know. When Guang left, he sent a batch to the city, but it was sold out. I want to send another batch tomorrow and settle the bill. I guess there must be quite a lot. I haven't settled the bill this month. The last time I came back, the Harvest broke down, so I didn't go to the city to dock."

He estimated that the sales of squid jerky this month alone might be more than 2 yuan.

After all, the newly-produced goods are quite rare. Even Boss Zhou asked for 3000 kilograms at one time. Add in the 1000 kilograms for the troops, and this is already a big deal.

The store also sold more than 1000 kilograms of miscellaneous goods. As for how much money can be earned, that will have to be decided by Ah Qing.

After all, when the accounts were settled in the middle of the month, the squids collected by the two boats of the eldest and second brothers alone cost more than 2000 yuan, and that was only for goods from sizes 3 to 12.

Later, the weather improved and some goods began to arrive, but we haven’t calculated the bill yet. We estimate that there are about 3000 yuan worth of goods.

The quantity collected by my cousin and Brother Asheng is definitely not less than theirs. The total cost of collecting squids by four boats is 4 yuan, not even including their own ship’s cargo.

But if you make money, it is definitely a huge profit. You can make more than one dollar per kilogram, and half of the goods have been sold this month alone.

I will ship another truckload over tomorrow and put it in the warehouse so you can sell it later. Most things are fresher and easier to sell when they are first released, but they will sell more slowly afterwards.

Adding on the other operating income from the other stores, he estimated that his father-in-law would have about 3 in sales this month.

The expenses for fish had long been calculated into the net income of each trip of his Dongsheng. The labor cost of the workshop was very low, and the total labor cost for a month was only about 1000 yuan, plus the tractor fuel cost, which was only a few hundred yuan more.

Therefore, the store’s turnover can be said to be how much profit it makes based on how much it sells.

As for the cost of receiving the goods that should be calculated for Brother Asheng and my cousin, in fact, we only need to use half of the rent to offset it.

After all, half of the money they earned from selling goods had to be handed over to him as rent.

Therefore, whatever money the stores in the city collect this month can all be accumulated into the savings he has.

This is equivalent to his direct income of about 3 yuan this month, plus the 2000 yuan he brought back from selling goods a few days ago.

There is also the profit from selling squid at the end of last month and the beginning of this month, which can be used to pay this month's wages, offsetting each other.

Therefore, his savings can now be directly increased to 13!
13 million!
The current 13 can be said to be a very large number. The total collective assets of the entire village are probably less than 13.

No, Lin Ji needs to be removed from this.

This man is the invisible richest man, and he is the obvious richest man.

The two of them have to be separated.

The more industries he has now, the faster he can make money, and his assets will increase rapidly.

The speed at which rich people make money is not the same as the speed at which poor people make money.

Ye Yaodong just lowered his head and thought casually, and was surprised by the number he estimated casually.

Besides, the account of the Harvest has not been settled yet, and I will probably have to settle it again tomorrow.

If you think about it, there really is money everywhere.

Besides, all the money is coming in, and there is really no expenditure except for wages and gas.

　4am! I won't be so late tomorrow. I'll write and update earlier.
