Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1072 Father Ye’s Freedom

Ye's mother was very anxious. She was not anxious until she made up her mind, but once she made a decision, she couldn't wait to set off.

Ye Yaodong couldn't even eat with peace of mind. Although his mother didn't urge him, she kept staring at him, making him feel very depressed.

"You don't have to wait for me. Why don't you let my dad take you there? He's free anyway and has nothing to do today. You can ask him to take you there. He knows the location of Boss Zhou's warehouse anyway. He can just take it there and settle the bill. I won't go."

"I said this before. It doesn't matter whether you go or he goes. He said he would wait until you wake up. After all, it's you who want to collect the kelp. It's up to you to decide how to do it."

Father Ye also said: "Yes, who knows if you have any other plans."

"What other plans do you have? The goods have been collected. Although there are not 1 kilograms, there are at least or kilograms. At that time, it was said that any amount would be fine, and kilograms would be the best. The current quantity is about the same. You can just deliver it and pay me. Anyway, you can ask a younger brother to go with you, so you don't have to worry about the journey."

"I'm afraid you have other plans, like booking for next year, or something. Who knows what's in your mind?"

"I don't have any goods on hand, and I don't want to talk about next year? You're overthinking. At least we have to have goods on hand before we can talk. If we don't have any, there's nothing to talk about. The current truckload of scattered goods can be sold directly."

Father Ye looked troubled. "You are already having breakfast, so why wait any longer? I will send it over when you are done eating."

"What are you doing? You keep making excuses."

"You didn't do this yourself. It would be more familiar if you delivered it yourself."

"Boss Zhou doesn't count the goods himself, so you can just deliver them to his warehouse and collect the invoice and money. The price has been agreed upon, and this isn't the first time you've delivered goods."

"Why don't you go?"

"I have other things to do at home, why don't you go? You haven't seen Huimei for half a year, go and see her."

Is his father afraid that if he goes with his mother, he will have to stay there for several days?
Middle-aged men have very strange thoughts.

Father Ye hesitated for a moment, and felt that he should go and see his daughter, so he nodded.

"That's fine. I'll go with you to see Huimei, and when the tractor comes back, I'll come back with you. We won't stay the night there. The place isn't that big anyway, and it would be inconvenient if we all stayed there together."

Ye's mother didn't know about the middle-aged man's love of freedom, so she thought what he said made sense and agreed with it.

"Okay, then you eat your breakfast. Your father and I will take the tractor over there, and then your father can come back on the tractor. I will come back after she gives birth."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly dragged Ye's father out, complaining, "I told you to go with me a long time ago, but you refused and even wanted to wait for him to wake up. You are so troublesome..."

"It doesn't take a while..."

"There are only those who get up early, how can there be those who get up late?"

"Okay, okay, you are always right..."

Ye Yaodong watched the two people arguing as they walked out, and quickly stood up and chased after them, shouting, "When you come back, bring back a load of empty vats. They just take up space when they're left idle, and they'll be put to use soon."

"understood."

The couple walked out together, and Ye's mother kept urging Ye's father to hurry up, she was very anxious.

The old lady standing beside him also muttered, "You're waiting there so early in the morning. What's the hurry? There's no need for a while. It won't take any time to drive over with your own tractor... You're old, and you still think the wind is rain..."

"My mother is just impatient and has a bad temper. Don't worry about her. Sending her away for a few days will give me some peace and quiet."

The old lady laughed.

Ye Yaodong went to the workshop after finishing his meal. The tractor had already left and most of the stock had been moved out, so there wasn't much left.

He estimated in his mind that the city's inventory could probably last until the second half of the year. However, if he could, he would have to dry it out a little longer in case sales surged and he ran out of stock.

The problem with drying fish in the summer is that there are more mosquitoes and flies, and it looks dirty. Plus, there is heavy dew at night, so we have to collect them every night and hang them out to dry again the next day, which is a bit time-consuming.

It is much easier in winter because the weather is dry and there is no need to bring the clothes in. They can be hung outside overnight to dry a lot and there will be no mosquitoes or flies. There is also less rain in winter so there is no need to worry about sudden weather changes.

After checking the goods in stock, he stood at the door of the workshop and looked at the beach. It was low tide and he couldn't tell how big the waves were. He had to go outside the dock to see clearly. However, there were fishing boats floating on the sea, so he knew the waves were still big and it was not suitable to go out to sea.

With nothing to do, he went to sit outside his house to enjoy the cool air.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and he had just walked back and forth in the workshop when sweat broke out on his forehead. The collar of his clothes was shaking, fanning himself with the wind.

But at this moment, he felt something rubbing against his feet and crawling over them. The hard and cold touch scared him so much that he jumped up, took two steps to the side, and looked down.

"Fuck, Ye Chenghu's bastard escaped from prison again."

He was wearing flip-flops, and the turtle had just crawled right beside his toes, and was still crawling forward at a snail's pace.

The old lady had just finished cleaning up the dishes and came out immediately after hearing this. "Where?"

He squatted down and picked up the turtle, holding it in the air and looking at it from left to right. "It has survived for so long. This turtle is really good at keeping alive. No wonder it lives so long."

The old lady laughed and stood in front of him, "I guess they brought too much water from the river last night, so it escaped."

"Let's stew it."

"Stop it. Those two kids care more about this turtle than their ancestors. The first thing they do every day when they come home is to put down their schoolbags and look for the turtle. Yesterday they even put several pebbles in the basin. Put them back, or they will eat it and you will have to catch them another one."

"It doesn't look like it has grown at all. I've had it for two years."

"There's nothing to feed it. At most, I change its water every one or two days. It's good enough that it's still alive today."

"Buddha has mercy on you and will spare your life. Don't escape from prison again next time."

He didn't really want to eat it, he just had a bad mouth and wanted to say a few words. After he finished speaking, he put it back in the basin. However, the water in the two basins had spilled out because of its escape. The old lady scooped a little water from the water tank and put it in the basin.

"Where are Qing and the two children?"

"She went to the river to wash clothes. The two children were playing at the door just now. Now they must have gone to play at someone's house next door."

He responded and didn't take it seriously. As more residents came around, there were more children as well. Those who were not yet old enough ran around and visited other people's houses every day.

"It's so early in the morning, the sun is so bright, and you're still going outside to wash clothes. You don't know how to use the washing machine at home. Are you stupid?"

"This thing is not as clean as washing it by hand. Dirty clothes still need to be rubbed, brushed, and then hit with a mallet a few times before they are clean. Only when the weather is bad will they be thrown in here to dehydrate."

“It’ll be fine once you get used to it.”

"Today the sun is so bright and the weather is so good. I can hang the clothes outside for half a day to dry. I don't need to use a washing machine. This thing also uses electricity and costs money. Although you have some money now, you can't spend it recklessly. Don't do things that are not necessary. Electricity bills also cost money..."

The old lady started nagging again, telling him to be more frugal.

Ye Yaodong cleaned his ears and listened attentively, letting her talk without refutation. He also sat at the door to enjoy the cool air until the old lady said she was tired and stopped talking.

Ye's father didn't come back until the evening.

When he came back, his face was flushed and he looked excited from head to toe.

"My mother is not at home, why are you so happy?"

"It's a rare occasion that she's not at home. You're tied to your mother for the rest of your life."

"So you feel good?"

"It's comfortable now. I don't have to do things in secret anymore."

"Why are you doing something so sneaky?"

Father Ye looked around and saw no one noticed them, so he whispered, "Didn't you give me a gold ingot? Every day I took it out and looked at it like a thief and then quickly hid it, for fear that she would find out. She almost caught me several times, but luckily I reacted quickly."

"It's good now. She's not at home. I can take it out and play with it openly without worrying about how to explain myself after being discovered."

"You didn't hide it properly, and you dared to take it out every now and then to play with it. You are so brave. If she catches you red-handed, you will be in trouble."

"What's so miserable about it? At most she confiscated it. How dare she make a fuss? Such a big gold ingot is so rare. Now it's good. I'm free and can live a comfortable and quiet life for a few days."

The more Father Ye thought about it, the happier he became. He felt that the sea breeze blowing over was full of freedom.

Next he can sleep with the gold ingot in his arms. He doesn't have to act like a thief all day, sneaking around to take it out and look at it. If he doesn't dare to look at it any more, he has to put it back. The mouse probably has looked at it more than he has.

And there is no one to control me, and no one will nag me when I drink. Just thinking about it makes me feel that the next few days will be beautiful.

Ye Yaodong remembered hearing a passage at some point:

On the first day, my wife was not at home, and I was so happy; on the second day, my wife was not at home, I felt like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins; on the third day, my wife was not at home, I felt blind; on the fourth day, my wife was not at home, I felt like a child without a mother!
He felt that his father would not last more than four days and would not be able to eat or sleep well.

I'm used to being restricted in my daily life, so if no one scolds me for a few days, I'll think about it a lot.

But if you are out to sea, at sea, just pretend he didn't say anything.

"How's Emi?"

"She said she was fine, walking back and forth to the market every day, and she only felt a little heavier in the past few days. She was so happy to see your mother and I, and she talked to us for a long time, so it was almost dark when she got home."

"Well, as long as there's nothing wrong with it."

"Oh, I hope this one gives birth to a boy, otherwise there will be more trouble."

"Look, it's not her decision whether to have a boy or a girl. At worst, she can have a third child. Her family won't dare to give her a hard time."

When I think about it this way, I feel that marrying A Guang is not a bad idea.

At least they grew up together, and they know his character, so they can feel at ease. Besides, he has no biological mother, and his biological father cannot control his daughter-in-law, let alone his step-mother-in-law.

As long as you don't put pressure on yourself, you can just continue to have children.

Father Ye nodded and said nothing.

It is time to have a son. Look at the sons in their family now. They are the support for their daughters.

　My eyelids kept closing and opening while I was writing. It was so uncomfortable. My train of thought would be interrupted after a while and I wouldn’t know what I had written before.

　　I had to read a piece of text four or five times before I could understand what it was about and continue. My brain was a mess and I was very sleepy.

　　Good night, that’s all for today.

　　I have a flight tomorrow at noon, and after I get home, I will update as normal.

　　By the time I got home, I had already made up for the words I had missed in the past few days.
