Back to the small fishing village in 1982

When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, she hurriedly greeted him.

"Why did you come back at this hour? The food is still hot in the pot, let's eat first."

Ye Yaodong inserted the handle of the rocker directly into the iron railing on the window next to the door, took off the hat on his head and gave it to her, "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands first."

He went back to his room and put the gun away before going to wash his hands.

He put all the guns at home on the top of the cabinet. No matter how much the children took them, they couldn't touch them. Ordinary people couldn't see them when they entered the house. When he took them, he would step on the stool without even exposing his feet. On the outside, it is well hidden.

The children at home are too naughty, so they can only be placed in a higher place.

Lin Xiuqing followed closely behind him, "Did it go well?"

"more or less."

"Do you want to continue delivering tomorrow? If you want to continue delivering tomorrow, then get up earlier and go earlier to avoid being delayed so late."

"No, it's the same time today. I was delayed by something today. Aguang went to rent a house and was delayed for a while. I went to the army to deliver fish sauce and dried fish. I ran back and forth twice. When I came back to the county, I visited Chen again. Director, and then we went to the shipyard."

"Ah, I asked you why you came back so late today. It turns out that you have traveled to so many places. No wonder. Fortunately, I am still worried. When it was time for dinner, dad kept saying that it was almost the end of the year and it was not peaceful. I was worried that you would encounter What's up."

"Crow's Mouth! Where is my daughter? Where is grandma?"

No matter what time he comes back at night, all the children in the family will be around him. Where are the old and the young today?

"Your daughter went next door to play with her sisters, and grandma was chanting sutras in the house."

"Oh, I forgot about my daughter's little doll. Anyway, I won't be running around tomorrow. Then I will go to the city and buy a little doll for her."

"Just get used to it."

"It's just a doll. What do you have? She wants to have something that others have. It's normal. Buy one for her to play with."

"It's a good idea to buy one, just to replace the big one in her hand. It's so dirty that she can't bear to wash it for me all day long, so I have to secretly wash it while she's asleep or awake. "

Ye Yaodong washed his hands and sat down to eat, only to feel hungry.

Director Chen's wife wanted to cook noodles for them in the evening, but he said he had already eaten and was too embarrassed to let others cook, and he has been hungry until now.

"This toad fish maw and fish liver needs to be fried with some chili pepper to taste delicious. Remember to add some chili pepper tomorrow. I told you many times but you didn't add it."

He commented while eating. He had been drying large quantities of toad fish there for the past two months, and the fried cod liver and maw at home was never broken.

Chewing the maw of the toad fish in my mouth, it feels very chewy, but lacks a bit of spiciness.

"Son, they can't eat spicy food..."

"Then tell them not to eat it, and to eat something else. This needs to be fried with some chili pepper to make it fragrant and delicious."

"Then you eat it alone and tell others not to eat it?"

"Then you will fry two portions tomorrow? Take out one portion first, then add the chili pepper and stir-fry the rest?"

"Eat what you have, some people are picky about what they eat."

"It really tastes better if you add chili pepper." Ye Yaodong shook his head, thinking that she didn't understand.

The food they ate at the beach was really too light. Everything on the table was steamed and boiled, and only a little chili was added to the braised fish and hot and sour soup. After a long time, he felt a little tasteless.

"Should you dry those fish maws? Don't let me give them away. Store them. When you want to eat them, soak them. Cut them into small pieces. They are chewy and the more you eat them, the more delicious they become."

"Whatever, if you like to eat it, tomorrow I will ask the aunts who kill the fish to pick it out separately, wash it and dry it, and let them distribute the liver among themselves and take it back for frying."

Ye Yaodong nodded, his mouth full of rice, and said nothing.

In the past, his mother would give away a large amount of fish maws and fish livers from neighbors, relatives and friends every day. He didn't care about the worthless things that no one wanted, and just dealt with them as she pleased.

He was hungry just now, and the food felt good. He felt that he could keep it dry and put it there. He could eat it as he wanted without waiting for the season.

It's a waste to give it away like this every day. I guess these people are tired of eating it every day. They must have taken it back to feed the pigs and chickens and ducks.

"Then for our boat, did you say when the final payment will be made and when it will be launched?"

"After half a month, we will check the specific date first, and then I will go over and tell the factory that they must get it done before this date."

"That happened to be the New Year's Eve. I just drove back to celebrate the New Year's Eve. I will wait until the New Year's Eve to go to sea."

"Yes, so just prepare the money."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "I thought you were going to say you were preparing to have a happy New Year, but I didn't expect you were preparing money."

"Nothing wrong, both are fine. Prepare the money first, and then have a happy year."

"Eat quickly, stop talking nonsense, take a shower after eating, and go to bed."

"Well, where are the two boys?"

"You just thought of asking now?"

"No, I thought they were playing upstairs, so I didn't ask. I haven't seen them since I came back in the past, but I didn't hear anything for so long. I was a little confused, so I asked again."

"Run upstairs next door."

"When will they have their winter vacation? Your elder brother asked me to wait until the winter vacation and send Ayuan and the others to a store in the city to help him."

"Then A Yuan should be hopeless."

"Why is it that he is in the city? Uninformed people don't know that he has never been out in the city. Why is he going to get gold plating? When he comes back during the Chinese New Year, he will definitely be envious of his large group of friends and friends. He can pretend to be nice."

Lin Xiuqing, who was sitting next to him, was also smiling happily, "Then it's a big sacrifice. You go to the city to work for a month and come back just to be proud of yourself for a few days."

"That's enough. How many people want to work with us but don't have a chance. When will they have their holiday?"

"They said the final exam is tomorrow. I'll get my transcripts a week after the exam, and then I'll have a holiday."

"Then A Yuan and the others should be about the same. I'll take a look. If you come back early tomorrow, I'll go to your hometown to take a look. If it's only in the past two days, I'll pick them up at the right time."

"It's up to you."

"When I went out today, I saw my second aunt coming to see my mother. Why did she come?"

"What else can I do? Ask my mother to help her find out if there is a suitable woman in the nearby village to be Brother Asheng's wife. She said that my mother is familiar with the nearby villages."

"I guess so."

Lin Xiuqing pursed her lips, "My mother said that the second aunt asked those with better conditions at home not to move things to their parents' house. If the widow is divorced, it is best not to bring her children with her, but not to bring her son. And at home. Having many brothers means that there are many brothers in the family, which means the inheritance can lead to more sons.”

"Also, people should be good, obedient, and quick at work. It's best not to be a widow. It's hard to say that a widow can predict his fate, Croft. It's best to give him a young girl. It doesn't matter if she's a little older, but There must be no physical defects.”

"There are still a lot of demands. No wonder she didn't follow these standards when she was looking for Wang Lizhen after being naked for so many years."

"I heard someone say that we were just drinking together and drank too much. The second aunt was also a little drunk, and she was given a lot of ecstasy soup. She was coaxed to the point where she didn't know what to do, and then she came down and gave her the horoscope. The matchmaker went to make the horoscopes match the next day and finalize the matter, so Brother Asheng was tricked."

Ye Yaodong's face was full of disgust.

"Now it would be great if there is a woman who is willing to be with Brother Asheng. I am still picky. As long as she has a better personality, is not too ugly, has no physical defects, and can live a good life, that's all."

"Do you still care whether she is a widow and whether she has children? If she is not a widow and has not been divorced, who will be able to take his turn? I still think about the eldest daughter, and I don't think about how old my biological brother is. In a few years, he will probably be unable to do what he wants. ”

Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, "What did you say?"

"Everything is true."

"My mother also said the same thing as you. She just said that she would search for it and have a look. Then she also told the second aunt not to interfere. Brother A-Sheng is the one who is living the life. When the time comes, just come over and let Brother A-Sheng choose for himself. .”

"That's right, it's not like I'll spend the rest of my life with her, there are so many things to do."

"Mom said she would look for him in the past few days. If everything goes well, she would let him marry a wife before the New Year."

Ye Yaodong listened for so long and only nodded now, "This is good. If you have money or not, marry a wife and celebrate the New Year. Anyway, it's a second marriage, so there is no need for any ceremony. The family conditions are there, and the woman If you are willing, look for a better day, wear red clothes, and ride a bicycle to pick you up. Don’t treat guests to dinner, just have a meal together as a family."

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Mom, I told you the same thing during dinner."

"That's why it's called mother and son. My mother is more reliable. It's been three or four days since the house was built at home, but the eldest brother and the second brother haven't said anything about taking my parents over?"

"They all mentioned that if they didn't come over, they said they would stay there to look at the house and the pig pen. No one looked at them and they were worried. They have lived there for so many years and they think it is good to live there. Every household The houses are almost the same. Anyway, there is no rain in winter, and there are no typhoons. There is no wind, so it would be nice if we could get some sunshine."

"Forget it. Anyway, the stone house is very strong and there is no damage at all. At most, the roof is leaking. Just ask the carpenters to replace the doors and windows first."

"The fish sauce in Mom's house has been filtered, and today Dad has pushed the barrels over there on a pallet truck."

"Well, it's okay to move them all over. Put them all over there for production together, and save a little bit here and a little bit there."

While he was eating and chatting, the old lady opened the door and came out with a string of Buddhist beads.

She said with a smile: "Come back so late? The food is already cold."

"Already eaten."

"I have just finished reciting sutras. Today I went to the temple to throw the Holy Grail. The Bodhisattva said that Huimei must be a boy and he can be born safely."

"Really? Then think about it if you have nothing to do. Since the Holy Grail has been dropped in the temple, don't go there again. It won't work if you drop it a few more times."

"Well, let's not throw it. It's enough if the hexagram says it's a boy. There's no need to throw it again."

"I also ask the Bodhisattva to bless you with safety and success whether on land or at sea."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Yeah, that's okay."

"It's the New Year, so you should be more careful when you go out. Come back as early as possible if you can, and don't stay outside."

"understood."

It was also because he came back late, so he thought to himself. Fortunately, he didn't tell anyone about the robbery he encountered when he went out today.

But just because he doesn't say it doesn't mean that others don't say it.

By the early morning of the next day, the whole family knew that they had been robbed when they went out yesterday, and because they had a gun on them, they were able to scare the people away and everything was safe along the way.

Then within a morning, the whole village knew that there had been another robbery on the road recently. Villagers had to be more vigilant when going out, whether going to neighboring villages or towns.

When he was about to go out in the morning, the old lady appeared out of nowhere and gave him a peace charm, asking him to put it in his pocket and not drop it.

He took it with a smile on his face and looked back and forth from left to right.

"Did you ask for it in the temple early in the morning?"

"Yes, you didn't say anything when you came back last night. I didn't know until I got up early in the morning and listened to the children in the workshop. Then I hurried to the temple to ask for one. You can take it with you to keep you safe on the road. .”

Okay, it's the old man's idea anyway, it doesn't take up much space in your pocket anyway.

When Ye Yaodong delivered the goods to the city yesterday, he still thought that it was inconvenient to transport large tanks and that the tanks were more expensive than fish sauce when buying and selling. He wanted to ask around when he had free time to see if there was such a bag sealing machine.

Unexpectedly, Father Lin brought him a surprise when he arrived in the city today.

The twenty cylinders shipped yesterday were all sold out this morning, so we are waiting for him to send another batch today.

"I originally thought that if you didn't deliver it today, I would call you and ask you to deliver it tomorrow."

He was surprised, "Who bought it? Are more than 20 tanks gone so quickly?"

"The restaurants in the city order two, and there are also hawkers. Anyone who comes to buy dried fish will take away a tank. For them, it is easier to sell if they have more varieties. Fish sauce is indispensable in our coastal areas. I It’s laborious to make at home, but if you can buy a pound or two of it somewhere, it’s convenient for most people.”

"That's not bad. Yesterday I was thinking that it might not be easy to sell these vats. Water vats are more expensive than liquids. I didn't expect that they would all be sold out today."

"It's better to put advertising paper on the door. Some people ask a few questions and shake their heads, and some people just take them away. Anyway, I agreed with them to put down a deposit of ten yuan and take out the empty tank when the time comes. All you need to exchange for a full tank is fish sauce. When you stop selling it, you can bring the empty tank and get your deposit refunded. Our store can’t run away here, and even if it does, they won’t lose the ten yuan per tank.” "Then I'll take a look. After I finish unloading the goods, I'll go around the market, look for some canteens and grocery stores, and sell our fish sauce to them. This whole tank can be sold easily in grocery stores. There will always be a demand, so bring your own bottles and go get them.”

Father Lin agreed with a smile on his face, "Hey, this is good. Go to some grocery stores in the city to promote it. Just like soy sauce and vinegar, put it in the grocery store and sell it in bits and pieces."

"Then I don't need to unload these. I can just drive the tractor around the city and sell them. Just tell the grocery stores that the store is here."

"Also, you can bring the leftovers back and put them in the warehouse when they are sold out or when it's time to go back."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong turned around and wanted to climb onto the tractor.

"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry. Eat first. After you finish eating, you can go out for a walk."

"That's okay too."

I just need to buy a doll for my child, so I went to the city to buy another doll at the same time.

After Ye Yaodong finished eating, he started walking around the city. When he saw a store selling groceries, he went in to sell eloquence.

His job as a fisherman is a bit unprofessional. Sometimes he works part-time as a tractor driver, sometimes as a part-time boss, and now as a part-time salesperson, and occasionally as a part-time nanny, so that his main business as a fisherman has been a bit neglected recently.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s the Chinese New Year anyway, who would go to sea in such a miserable way?

Wait until he gets the big ship.

This morning, he wanted to tell his father to rent the boat directly at home, but his father was reluctant and said to leave it alone for now. The big boats haven't been obtained yet. If he rented all these boats, he would have none of them. there is none left.

If there is something that cannot be delivered on time, wouldn't you just have to stay at home?

As for the small time difference, it would be just right to rent this boat after the new year after the big boat is obtained.

Anyone who wants to go to sea during the Chinese New Year is approaching the end of the year, so they should leave it alone first.

Ye Yaodong went around selling goods, which was very impressive. There were originally two layers on the car, but one layer was sold.

Nowadays, people who open shops can also do calculations. If you buy the fish sauce in the tank, when the tank is sold out, the capital will be returned. If you buy again, you don’t need to pay for the tank, and you can start to make a profit by selling it. Earn half of the money, it depends on where the store is and what it sells.

If someone runs away and cannot find a second sale, then at least there is no loss, and there is an extra vat, which is also very practical for storing soju, rice wine, etc. at home.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. The problem that troubled him yesterday was gone today. So the bag sealing machine can be put away for a while until he can get his money back.

Anyway, I really don’t see any packaged vinegar or packaged soy sauce on the market now. When they come out, he can just follow the trend and consider it.

His water tanks have the word "leaf" written on them with a red brush, and they are easy to recycle.

Ye Yaodong touched his pockets full of money and hid it before he came out of an inconspicuous grocery store and looked at the setting sun.

"I'm going back. I won't sell it anymore. Come back tomorrow."

"Brother Dong, you are so smart. You can earn another two hundred yuan just by going around."

"I only made half of the two hundred yuan I earned. My water tank still costs a hundred yuan, but at least I sold a lot. By then, these will be a steady stream of customers, and they will help us sell goods, and we will make a lot of money." many."

"Yeah."

"I'll send another car over tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I can go around the nearby villages and towns. I think I can sell one or two cars."

"Brother Dong, you are so smart and awesome. In a few days, the workshop will be sold out."

Ye Yaodong glared at Wang Guangliang's cousin, "Where? Can dozens of tons be sold out in a few days? It's good to be sold out in half a year. I'm flattering you. Let's go. Go back quickly and sit down."

"I didn't even expect it, which means you are too smart, Brother Dong."

"Isn't it because you are too stupid?"

"Haha, you can sell so much of something that is so labor-intensive and worthless like fish sauce. Of course you are smart."

A flatterer who only knows how to flatter people. Although the pictures are not very good, they are still satisfying. The main reason is that he found that it is feasible to sell like this today.

Ye Yaodong drove the tractor back to the wholesale market, unloaded the remaining row of fish sauce from the truck, and then drove home slowly.

It took a few hours to wander around the city in the afternoon. It will probably be dark the day after tomorrow when we get home, and the whole family will be talking about it again.

as predicted.

After arriving home, it was completely dark and the moon had risen. In fact, he arrived home an hour earlier than yesterday.

While listening to Ah Qing's words, he argued, "It's obviously because the day is too short and it gets dark so fast. It's not because I came back late."

"You just argued vigorously. I told you yesterday to get up early and deliver the goods early today, but you just didn't. You also said that you would be back early if you had nothing to do today."

"I didn't expect that my mind would be so active in the afternoon, so I immediately thought of driving a tractor along the street to sell door-to-door. Don't worry, the sales will be opened up right now. From now on, those shops will continue to sell our fish sauce."

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "Then do you want to get up early tomorrow?"

"Well... then it's about half an hour early. I went to a lot of streets today. I'll just do a little shopping tomorrow. It won't take as long as it did today."

"Just keep your mouth shut, and we won't go home until dark tomorrow."

"I'm not afraid when it gets dark. I have a gun anyway. Who dares not to be afraid of death?"

"It's always good to avoid it. It's always better to watch it at night than during the day."

"Okay, then get up an hour earlier tomorrow. I'll get up at six o'clock."

"If I call you at half-past five, you will definitely be late for half an hour."

"Ah~"

"Doll~doll~little doll~"

Ye Xiaoxi heard the sound of the tractor and was reminded by her sisters, so she ran over from next door, screaming as she ran.

He didn't bring it to her last night. When she got home, she jumped up and down on the bed and made a fuss. He repeatedly promised that he would bring it to her today, and she calmed down and was willing to drink milk and sleep.

At this moment, he stumbled back from outside, threw away the big doll in his hand, hugged his thigh directly, and started calling the little doll.

"I won't even call you daddy, I won't give it to you."

"Daddy, daddy, daddy~" she screamed louder and louder.

Satisfied, Ye Yaodong took two out of his pocket and handed them to her. When her eyes lit up and she reached for them, he picked them up again to prevent her from taking them.

"Dad?! Harm! Dad, harm!"

He laughed out loud, lifted his pants, and squatted down.

"Kiss me and give it to you."

Ye Xiaoxi immediately leaned forward and kissed her.

"I want a big kiss, but your kiss doesn't make any noise at all."

She leaned forward again and kissed her loudly.

Ye Yaodong smiled like a fool, with big cracks at the corners of his mouth, "Kiss me a few more times!"

Lin Xiuqing laughed and shook her head, "Isn't your request too much? If you don't give it to her, ask her to kiss her. After kissing her, ask her to kiss her a lot. After kissing her a lot, ask her to kiss her a few more times. Be careful if she gets angry and scratches you. Spend your face."

Ye Xiaoxi also looked at him angrily.

He smiled and waved the two dolls in his hands in front of her eyes twice more, "Do you want it? Do you want it? Beautiful little dolls, just kiss them a few more times."

"Yes." She responded with a sweet voice.

Ye Yaodong quickly turned his head to the side and handed his cheek to her, "Kiss then, kiss more."

Ye Xiaoxi pouted and glared at him. She had no choice but to admit defeat. After hugging his head and kissing him hard for a few times, she was afraid that he would make another request. She nibbled on him a few more times, covering half of his face with saliva. Then he let go and went to get the doll.

He felt the moisture on half of his cheeks, and smiled and handed the doll in his hand to her. After freeing his hand, he quickly wiped the saliva on his cheeks with a handkerchief.

"Introduce..."

"This is for your cousin, one for each of you, how about you choose which one you want?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at what was in her own hand, and then looked at what was in his hand. She frowned and hesitated for a long time. After thinking about it later, it was probably the one in her own hand, so she hugged it directly.

"Introduce me!"

"Okay, then go and play by yourself."

She immediately turned around with a bright smile and ran out like a butterfly, shouting as she ran, "Sister, sister..."

"Slow down, don't fall."

As soon as Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she threw herself on the ground.

However, she quickly got up and continued running without giving the adults a chance to react.

"Fortunately, I wore thick clothes in winter, so it doesn't hurt if I fall."

"Just like the little meat dumpling, did you make her new clothes for the Chinese New Year?"

"doing."

"Is that the bright red one on the sewing machine?"

"Yes, the two sons' clothes are already ready, just her cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Just make them in the next two days."

"The bright red color is great, it's festive, and her face is so chubby that she must look like a New Year doll."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Don't keep talking about her sex, you can't talk about it."

Ye Yaodong handed another rubber doll to Lin Xiuqing, "You can send it to Huimei's daughter tomorrow."

"Have they settled on renting a house?"

"Your father told me this afternoon that someone wanted to rent it. He has already helped rent it. I will tell Aguang after dinner later and ask him to come with us tomorrow to take a look."

"That's good! Then just take this doll to him yourself."

"Oh, yes, I really have to get up early tomorrow and leave early to save him from wasting time. Come back early. If it's still daylight, I'll go to your house to see if Lin Guangyuan and the others are on vacation?"

"Then I'll call you at four o'clock."

"Huh? Four o'clock?" Ye Yaodong glared upon hearing this.

"It'll be ready at five o'clock. It can't be any earlier. I'll get up as soon as you call me and stay in bed. It's not even dawn at five o'clock. Anyway, Lin Guangyuan and the others are not in a hurry. They don't want to go to the city. They have to go to work."

"Then you can go to my parents' house the day after tomorrow."

"Then it will be the day after tomorrow. Maybe they haven't had a holiday yet. If they have a holiday, I can give them an extra day or two to relax. Don't be so miserable and haven't even enjoyed the holiday."

"Then hurry up and eat."

"If they drag a carload of child laborers away in two days, they will probably cry and say they hate me."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Where?"
