Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1129 All Accounts Received
Ye Xiaoxi dug it out and buried it again. After working for a while, he stood up and said to Pei Yu in a childish voice, "We need to water it..."

"You can't play in the water. Go, go play with the dog over there. You got beaten for playing in the water yesterday. Have you forgotten?"

Ye Xiaoxi pouted in grievance, then picked up the puppy at her feet with a hum.

But just after she picked the baby up, she immediately put it on the ground, took off her pants, squatted down where the baby was buried, and urinated a lot.

It’s fine if he peed himself, but he also had to pull Pei Yu, “Sister, pee to fertilize.”

Then Pei Yu obediently took off his pants and squatted beside her to pee.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing and shook his head, then sat back at the door, letting the two of them play as long as they didn't get into trouble.

Ah Guang was helpless, "I think my daughter will be led stupid by your daughter."

"Nonsense, she is just drawing inferences from one instance. Didn't you see that she has an exceptionally good memory?"

"He doesn't look very smart."

“Children are like that.”

"If you have nothing else, I'll leave her here with you. I'll go back first and come back to take her back for lunch at noon."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand and let him go.

Ye Xiaoxi was too much older than the other children in the family, and no one was willing to play with her. Her short legs could not keep up, so she could only run around the doorstep or go to other people's homes nearby. Pei Yu was her best playmate.

Pei Yu was taken back after Hui Mei gave birth. Ye Xiaoxi was not used to it for many days and looked for him every day when she opened her eyes. Although she is used to it now, she still has to go to Pei Yu's house from time to time.

The two are particularly excited to be together. When they meet, they either hug each other or hold hands.

After they finished peeing together, they pulled up their pants while twisting their buttocks, and rolled the pants up to their waists in a crooked manner. They also dug soil from the side to bury it to cover it up, and then ran out hand in hand, laughing.

Ye Yaodong calmly sat with the old lady at the door, enjoying the cool air and watching them. It was not until lunchtime when Ye's mother came back with an excited look on her face that he was fed another bite of melon.

Ye Yaosheng went to collect the debts around noon, but after a round, he couldn't collect any of them. Then his wife showed up.

"Oh my, you know what, Ah Sheng's wife is really good. Her husband died early and she looked unlucky, but now she seems to be able to live a good life."

"You just said that his wife came first. Ah Guo wanted it. Did she get it?"

"Did you get what you asked for? You stood at the door with a big belly and tears streaming down your face. Then you just sat on the ground and cried, saying your stomach hurt. If you didn't scare people to death, Aguo's wife would quickly pay to send you away like a plague god."

Ye Yaodong listened with a surprised look on his face, "It's really amazing, Brother Asheng is honest and he really needs to find a wife like this."

Mother Ye smiled and slapped the table, "Who said it wasn't?"

"Aguo is really something. He is like this even though he is his brother. He may not make a lot of money on this trip, but he should have made some small money. Why is he still short of this 300 yuan?" Father Ye was a little dissatisfied.

"I heard that he wanted to give money, but his wife stopped him."

Lin Xiuqing asked curiously, "And she came back like this, one family at a time?"

"Yes, I went to check later. She didn't even come in to collect the debt. She just sat at the door and called the neighbors over. She started to complain. She said that she had a hard life, that Ah Sheng was honest, that the whole family depended on him, that it was not easy to make money, and so on. She even took out the IOU and showed it to everyone. Then she sat on the ground holding her stomach and crying."

"Your second aunt is quite clear-headed when it comes to outsiders. She also came over to scold them, saying that if anything happens to the pregnant woman, they will be blamed."

"Then they took turns to visit each household with the villagers, going through the same process again and getting all the money back in half a morning."

The old lady said: "You won't cry until you see the coffin. You have to pay back the money you owe."

"Everyone was reluctant to leave. After several families came, even if they were pretending to cry, their eyes were red and swollen. I heard that just as Ah Sheng's wife took the money and left, everyone else ran to Ah Guo's place. I guess they will have some quarrels again."

Father Ye asked, "Then why did you come back so suddenly? Didn't you finish watching it?"

"I had to pee urgently, so I came back first. I saw you guys were already eating, so I thought since we were all back, let's eat first."

"You are such a good old woman that you hold your pee until you get home. You keep the wealth within your family."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing. His father was really great. He could use this sentence in this way.

"I can't stop your mouth even if I eat."

After scolding Ye's father, Ye's mother turned around and glared at him, "What's so funny?"

He laughed and said no.

After he had laughed enough, he said, "The Harvest will go out to sea tonight. I plan to go to Zhejiang Province in a few days and continue to fish for sea urchins for another month. Then, just like the past two years, I will be back in time for the National Day. By then, it will probably be getting colder."

Mother Ye frowned. "How about we go again next year? Everyone has returned, so how unsafe is your boat? Anyway, didn't you say that the sea urchins are all in the trenches? No one can salvage them, so they won't be gone. It will be the same if we go again next year."

"It might be safer for me to go alone than for so many people to go together. Who knows what the situation will be like next year? Let's take a few days off now and give the locals a few more days to salvage. It's probably almost all gone by then."

"You are becoming more and more courageous."

"What does this have to do with it? We're all going out to sea anyway. Also, A Guang plans to go to the province on the Harvest at night, and I plan to go with him to ask Ye Yaohai in the province about our hometown ancestral hall. It's hard to explain over the phone, so while we're free these two days and have company, let's go together."

"That's fine. It's an ancestral temple after all. It's better to find out more about it. Otherwise, when you come back from Zhejiang Province, you will be busy with other things and I don't know if you will have time to inquire about it. You will have to rush to follow me to worship the ancestors."

Ye's father agreed with this. The ancestral temple is used for both ancestor worship and family tree entry, so this matter is quite important.

"After I finish my meal, I'll go to the other boats to settle the bills, and then go again at night. They just came back yesterday, and I don't feel like going to settle the bills so early this morning. It's just right to go after lunch."

"I don't know if they have kept the receipts. The purchasing point must have kept accounts. I'm afraid they deliberately didn't keep them and then underreported the bills."

"Look, they are not the only ones on the ship. They have hired people to do the work, and there are also people who are salvaging together. Even if they don't keep a manifest, the report won't be too outrageous."

He didn't keep anyone, which was a test for him. It was also possible that he didn't leave a purchase order or was in a hurry and didn't take it. It was no different, so he didn't care too much.

After all, it was only a few days, and splitting it in half would only amount to a few hundred yuan, which was a small amount of money for him now.

The people who rented his boat were all his cousins. As long as it wasn't too excessive, he could turn a blind eye and just give it a helping hand.

Father Ye responded, “I’m still counting on making money with your boat, with so many people watching.”

"Then when will your county boat come back? More than half a month has passed, and your second brother has already come back. In a few days, you will go to Zhejiang Province again. You must first bring back the city boat, and then rent it. You can only leave after you have arranged everything."

"Yes, we must get everything done before we leave. Tell Ah Hai tonight and ask him to urge the factory. It would be best if we can get the ship back directly today or tomorrow."

As long as the boat comes back, there is no need to worry about no one renting it. There are a lot of people queuing up and it can be done in less than half a day.

Seeing that he knew everything and had already made arrangements, Ye's mother did not say much. She ate her meal in a hurry and left immediately. She did not know the result of the other people's trouble in A's country.

And Ye Yaodong continued chatting with his father.

"Let's not rent the No. 2 boat parked outside the dock for now. When the time comes, take it with the Dongsheng. I'll fish for the sea urchins, and you can go fishing."

"Why go through so much trouble? There will be more than a dozen people there. We can just rent the boat and come back to settle the bill in a month. It would be better for the Dongsheng to go there to trawl the nets and go with the Fengshou."

"Never mind, that's fine."

The Dongsheng can also travel faster and no longer have to worry about the small boat.

While the father and son were discussing, Lin Xiuqing also took out the previous cargo list. The cargo lists of the three packages that had just been returned had been put separately because they had not been accounted for. Now she only needed to sort out the cargoes from each ship and give them to Ye Yaodong.

After Ye Yaodong finished chatting with his father and made arrangements, the two of them took the list of goods and went out to collect the debts.

It’s not convenient to collect debts early in the morning. I have nothing to do after lunch, so I can just heat it up a little. I can make money anyway.

The father and son went to three companies, and only Ye Yaosheng had a complete list of cargoes. The other two ships were more or less missing one or two. Three trips a day with three cargo lists was fixed, and it was possible that they would forget to take them in a hurry. They didn't hold on to them, and just took whatever the cousins ​​said.

After settling the bill, I got the money on the spot smoothly and immediately.

Originally, there were three boats, and each boat was supposed to get him more than 3000 yuan, but some were more and some were less. In addition, they fished a few more days than him, so each boat got an extra five or six hundred yuan.

After settling the bill at Ye Yaosheng's house, the cloth bag he brought was already full.

Ye Yaosheng's wife also had a smile on her face and kept asking them to sit for a while. She even cut a big watermelon for them.

"Is my sister-in-law going to give birth soon? I heard from my mother about her achievements at noon. It's good to get all the money back. After all, I worked hard to earn it. How can I let others enjoy it? I didn't spend the money I earned, but gave it to others. I'm so angry just thinking about it."

"Isn't it? I was so angry that I almost vomited blood when Ah Sheng didn't get the money. Our family was poor to begin with, and I finally earned some money, but it was gone before I could even warm it up in my hands. I almost got a stomachache from being so angry. Fortunately, I didn't get nothing in vain."

Ye Yaodong looked at her bulging belly. She wore few clothes in the summer, so her big belly was particularly conspicuous. She was thin and small, and her limbs were particularly thin. With just that bulging belly, he would feel embarrassed if he didn't ask a question.

But he was asking Ye Yaosheng, "Is sister-in-law going to give birth soon?"

Ye Yaosheng's face was beaming with joy, and he was in high spirits. These questions really touched his heart, and the smile on his face was almost splitting behind his ears.

"It's said it will take another month and a half."

His wife also said: "Everyone says that my belly is pointed, it should be a boy. I hope it is as everyone says. Tomorrow I will go to the fortune teller in the next village to feel my bones. Everyone says that the fortune teller is very powerful and can tell whether it is a boy or a girl just by touching it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yaodong's brows were furrowed as if he was about to pinch a fly to death.

"Sister-in-law, don't you believe in witches?"

"It's okay to just touch the bones, right? I definitely won't drink any of that messy magic water."

"It's useless to check it in advance, and it's a waste of money. Who knows if it's accurate? The baby is already formed in the belly. It's not like a fortune teller says it's a boy, then it's a boy, and if she says it's a girl, then it's a girl. Anyway, you'll know after the baby is born. Are you going to give up the baby just because she tells you it's a girl? She's already this big."

"Uh……"

She was speechless for a moment, and felt that what he said made sense.

"Well... forget it. I just earned a little money and I can't spend it recklessly. Anyway, we have to give birth to the baby, whether it's a boy or a girl, and we can't just decide based on what others say."

After she finished speaking, she slapped her head again, "I was confused and listened to your mother's lies. I shouldn't have listened to her promise this morning. I thought she would help me get all the money back, and then I thought she wouldn't always make things worse, so I listened to her this time."

"Go tell her later that I won't go with her to see the fortune teller tomorrow. She'll be angry if she keeps talking nonsense all day. Just let her ask the fortune teller herself when you'll get rich."

Ye Yaosheng looked embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I'll go back first."

Ye Yaodong stood up directly. He just said this casually while eating watermelon and chatting. It’s up to the couple to take care of their own business.

I find that it is better to avoid all those mysterious witches, shamans, and other things that can possess people. If you can avoid them, it is better to worship Mazu or Guanyin.

He held a heavy cloth bag in his hand, squeezed it, and threw it over his shoulder.

That is to say, in the village, he was not afraid of anything. He could just swing his money bag around without having to hide it. There were few people walking around in the village at noon, except the children.

Those wild kids didn’t care whether it was hot or not, or whether they got heatstroke. They were just running around and playing like crazy in the middle of the day.

"I have 13000 yuan more at once. It's so easy to make money. The money comes so quickly." Father Ye glanced at his cloth bag from time to time with envy on his face.

"The more money you make, the faster you earn it; the less money you make, the slower you earn it."

"Yes, that's the truth. The more money you invest, the more and faster you will earn."

Ye Yaodong calculated in his mind that if he received another sum of money today, he would have 21 on hand, which was indeed fast.

When I counted the accounts for the first two months, it was only 13. This month, due to the flood season, the output was particularly fast, almost doubling. If I hadn't come back early and was still there, there would be no doubt about it.

　I'm too sleepy and can't hold on any longer. I'll post 4000 words first, and then find time to add another one tomorrow at noon. It's too hard for me. I have to stay up late to write while going out to play.

　　I've been in Lin'an these two days, so the updates are a little irregular, probably around 1 or 2 in the morning, so I suggest you don't wait.
