Chapter 1050: Wishful thinking (10,000 words, Monthly Ticket +18)

They call themselves obedient every day, but where can you see they are obedient in their behavior?

Every day they make trouble however they can. They respond well when told, but turn around and play however they want.

The main thing is that it goes in one ear and out the other, and they can't be obedient for more than three seconds.

Lin Xiuqing started cooking after tidying up the two children.

When eating at noon, Ye Fu and Ye Mu also heard that Ye Yaodong was going to donate 500 yuan to the Mazu Temple to hold Mazu's birthday activities and invite a theatrical troupe.

Ye Mu was the first to shout, "Why should you pay so much money? Did your money come from a strong wind? Why don't you ask anyone else to pay, but only ask you? Do you deserve to have money?"

"That's not how you say it. The whole village knows that my workshop is doing well, I have several ships, and I have a shop. The village committee wants to hold Mazu's birthday activities, which is also for the sake of our village's reputation, and also thinking about letting Mazu protect our sea area more."

"Didn't they say that after the Heavenly Empress Palace was built in the village last year, the accidents encountered by our village's fishing boats have decreased? At most, they fought with fishermen from other villages for territory during the squid fishing season, but I haven't heard of anyone falling into the sea and not coming back."

"Everyone also said that I was able to catch all the pirates so easily on this trip without any casualties, all thanks to Mazu's protection."

Ye Mu listened to what he said and felt it made sense. Indeed, the village was quite peaceful all last year.

"Then shouldn't the whole village pay together? Why ask you alone? It's not just our family watching the play. The whole village watches the play, and people from other villages also come to watch. I won't mention people from other villages, our own villagers benefit..."

"They do. Every household has to pay money. Each household pays two yuan. After all, singing big plays is something everyone watches together, and the Heavenly Empress Palace is also our village's. It's just that it will probably not be enough, so they found me. I think I should pay this money. Donate more money, do more, and pray for Mazu's protection more."

"What's more, our workshop still relies on the protection of the village. I heard that overseas Chinese came back to open a factory in the town a while ago, and then there was no then. The money was gone, and the people left."

Ye Mu opened her mouth silently and had nothing to say.

Ye Fu turned his head and glared at her, "Long hair and short knowledge. If we should pay, we should pay. If we should contribute, we should contribute. What's more, Dongzi's reputation is so big now, the whole village knows he made a lot of money. We should donate some to our Mazu Temple to pray for peace. Going out to sea is so dangerous."

"Then if we donate money, we should get some benefits. We can't just donate money with empty words."

Ye Fu looked at Ye Yaodong, "See if you want to ask the village committee for some benefits? Will you be the one to offer the first incense on that day?"

"This is possible. I'll think about it later. Eat first."

"Singing for a few days? Will you have to organize everyone to patrol again?"

"It should be. Singing for three days, you all go watch when the time comes. If you really want to patrol, it's also the men's business in the village. It should be the same as last year."

"It's just 20 days away from Mazu's birthday, it's really about time to start preparing. If the theatrical troupe isn't called in advance, they definitely won't be able to be called..."

"Then the village will be lively again..."

Ye Yaodong changed the subject and asked his mother, "When can the sheep be led back?"

"I'll go ask and see after I finish eating. It's about time to wean."

Ye Chengyang grabbed and said with bright eyes, "I'll go too, I'll help lead them back."

"I also want to go..."

He didn't manage the two children who were scrambling to go, and just told his mother that if she went, she should take the money directly, and if she could lead them back, she should lead them back directly.

Lin Xiuqing also said directly that she would take the money for her after the meal.

Ye Yaodong was still thinking about the child's birthday. After the meal, he also rode his bicycle to the town. He bought more than a dozen chicken cakes the size of an infant's fist. This thing is not cheap, one costs 5 cents.

By the way, he also bought some oil cakes, and other snacks that children love, such as maltose, rice sticks, oil cakes, milk candies, etc. He bought a pile of them, each wrapped in newspaper. Several packages filled the basket in front of the bicycle, and he was satisfied before riding back home.

However, on the way back, he accidentally met Ma Lifang holding red floral cloth on the street. Thanks to his mother's gossip, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I don't know if it's really a good thing coming soon?

"Dongzi!"

Who is calling him?

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and suddenly widened his eyes.

"I fuck, you've lost so much weight?"

Fatty punched over, he hurriedly lowered his head, and then hurriedly pedaled his bicycle.

"What are you doing, murder?"

"I'm almost dead, so I have to pull you to cushion my back."

Ye Yaodong laughed out loud, "No, don't you look handsome now? If you were taller, you'd be a strong man."

"Get lost."

"Then I'm leaving?"

"Wait, wait, what are you doing in town?"

"It's my daughter's birthday today, so I came out to buy her something delicious, and buy a few chicken cakes."

"I want to rent a bigger shop. I've already turned around a big circle just now. Do you want to go take a look together?"

"Not selling buns anymore?"

Ye Yaodong patted his stomach, which had shrunk by a big circle but was still duan~duan~.

Fatty heavily patted his salty pig hand.

"Not selling anymore, it's too fucking tiring. Look, I'm tired and lost 30 jin. If this were sold as pork, it would be several dozen yuan."

"Then what you earned is more than several dozen. Is your wife also thinner? She must be very happy."

"Isn't that right? She's saying every day that I didn't come to open the shop earlier, and didn't care whether I lived or died."

"Then what are you going to do in the new shop?"

"I said stir-fry, she insisted not to, saying she wanted to continue making buns. I also came out to turn around by myself first. She doesn't know yet. I really don't want to do it anymore, it's too early to get up, too tiring."

"Indeed, people have to look forward. I think you can go to the county town to buy a shop, buy a bigger one, preferably buy a few street-front houses, and then open them up to make it bigger. Stir-fry still has to go to the county town. Of course, if you are willing to go out, it's better to go to the city. Buy a few more street-front shops or houses."

Fatty hesitated, "Can it work? Unfamiliar with the place, if you go to the city, the language is not clear, the outside is chaotic, the locals will definitely bully people. It's not like your market stalls, which have people to manage and protect. That stall costs several thousand, I can't afford it. What's more, the business around the market is in the early morning and morning. Who stir-fries in the early morning? If it's in the county, everyone says our county town is not as lively as our town."

"That's true. It's easier to stay locally. How can you be a local? You speak with a local accent, and you don't dare to go too far. If you are worried about the city, then wait two years before talking about it. If it's in the county, wait a few years until it's lively before buying. Buy a few in the town first, and then connect them, and the area will become big. Don't rent, renting is not cost-effective, and you have to pay rent to others. Buying it means it's your house, it definitely won't lose money."

"Brother, buying costs money."

"Renting also costs money."

"If you rent, the money can be less. If you buy, then it's powerful. What's more, you want a large area, that will cost my old life."

"I can't let your brother call be in vain, brother will lend it to you."

"Get lost, you don't have to."

"That won't work, you still have to pay it back. My money didn't come from a strong wind, it's just not urgent when to pay it back."

"Then I'll go back and ponder with my wife to see if I should buy or rent. If I buy, it definitely won't be that easy."

"Just find a piece of empty land, there are quite a lot of empty lands on both sides of the street in the town. Buy a large piece of empty land, ask someone to build it simply, or don't build it, just stir-fry in the open air."

Fatty frowned, "Open air won't work, wind and rain, don't know when people will eat a bully meal and run away. I'd better go back and ponder with my wife."

"You'd better discuss it with your wife. Let me tell you, buying houses, land, and shops is a steady profit, absolutely guaranteed to make money. Of course, not now, it will be after some years. The longer it is placed, the more valuable it is, especially in big places."

"Really?"

"Really, wait until I earn a lot of money, wait a few years and I will buy it too. Do you still want to see the shop? If so, while I still have time, I will accompany you around."

"Then turn around first."

Ye Yaodong is very familiar with the town, and he knows exactly what it will develop into in the future. However, although it will be more lively than it is now, it will still not be as fast as the county town.

After all, the county town has land and population, and the land can be expanded to surrounding villages and towns. The population of surrounding villages will slowly concentrate in the county town in the future. As for the town, there are only a few ports and piers, and it is surrounded by mountains, so the land is limited, and the area filled out from the port is not particularly large, so the development space is limited.

Coupled with the increased efforts to crack down on pornography and smuggling in the future, the number of ships docking will be greatly reduced, and the prosperity will naturally decrease sharply.

But this is a later story. It will still be very lively before the millennium. He is mostly familiar with the streets and alleys.

Following Fatty around, he talked about the surroundings, pointing out which piece of empty land or which piece of housing street will have more people and be lively in the future, giving him a reference.

As for himself not buying it, it's because he's not in a hurry. Buying it is equivalent to pressing the money there.

After he talked until his mouth was dry, Fatty was full of admiration, "Dongzi, you really know a lot and think really far."

"Where? I'm just a little smarter than you."

He took back what he just said.

"Take it as I didn't say it. My wife just asked me to go out to buy mushrooms and stuffing. I have to hurry up and buy it and go back. Otherwise, she will say it again."

"Almost two hours have passed, and you just said she asked you to buy mushrooms. She probably thought you went out to eat a fast food."

"What?"

"Nothing, you'd better go back and get scolded, confess leniently, resist strictly."

"I'm going back now."

The dead fatty hurried away again. Ye Yaodong saw that it was almost 4 o'clock, and hurriedly pedaled his bicycle to go back.

This delay went directly to the meal time. Originally, he planned to take it back as a snack for them in the afternoon, but now he has to hide it first, so that they don't stare at the snacks one by one.

He hummed a song and walked slowly home, but the house was empty, only A-Qing was sitting in the courtyard picking vegetables alone.

"Eh? Why are you picking vegetables in the courtyard alone? Where are the old and the young?"

"Why are you back until now? The old ones went to the workshop to listen to gossip, and the young ones all went to the empty land on the side to feed the sheep."

"Are the lambs led back?"

"They were led back early in the afternoon. Each of them was almost reluctant to go to school, and they were all clamoring to herd sheep at home. After a beating, they were willing to go. Dad also simply built a small nest at the back door with bamboo pieces."

"Put away the snacks in the basket, give them to them after the meal, I'll go take a look."

There is also empty land on the side, without houses built on it, because it rained a few days ago, the weather is warm, and small grass has grown on the ground. A large batch of sheep is not enough to eat, but three lambs are enough to eat for a few days.

The 9 or 10 children in the house were all surrounded there, and the neighbors' children were also there, each of them diligently pulling grass and feeding it into the lambs' mouths, there was no need for the lambs to eat it themselves.

Eating without working is nothing more than this.

"Have you finished your homework? All of you are surrounded here."

"Do it after eating, Third Uncle, the lambs are so cute."

"How do the lambs call?" Ye Yaodong smiled and touched Ye Xiaoxi's head, asking.

"Baa~"

"Baa~"

"Baa~"

He just asked Ye Xiaoxi, and the sound of lambs calling one after another was endless.

Each of them excitedly imitated the sheep's call, and also gestured with two hands on their heads as the sheep's two horns, and also spread two feet to learn how the sheep walked, learning a four-unlike.

"These three sheep will be taken care of by you in the future."

"Don't worry, Third Uncle, we will definitely raise them big."

Each of them surrounded the three sheep very rarely, feeding them vegetables, and couldn't be called back even if they were called. Ye Yaodong didn't care about them anymore.

When it was time to eat, each of them reluctantly led the lambs back to the new nest, washed their hands and ate.

Ye Mu also looked at the day for the ship to come back for him, and set it in three days. His mother said that this time, just set off a few strings of firecrackers, don't be so grand and distribute sugar cakes everywhere.

After all, he didn't know how many new ships he had opened back, and he had distributed sugar cakes many times. There was no need to continue. The sense of ritual could be relatively reduced.

Ye Yaodong of course had no opinion. He had several such ships, so there was no need to make it grand every time. There were many ships behind, and if there was so much money, it would be better to donate it to Mazu.

However, the children interjected that they wanted to eat sugar cakes, and regretted that they couldn't eat them.

"There is chicken cake!" Ye Xiaoxi interjected and shouted.

Ye Chenghu replied, "Where is the chicken cake, you are thinking beautifully."

"Sister eats the whip, I eat the chicken cake."

"Memory is quite good, I told her about the chicken cake in the afternoon and she remembered it until now."

"She can remember for many days, maybe she can remember for several months." Lin Xiuqing smiled and peeled shrimp for the two little ones.

"There really is chicken cake!"

"Is there, Dad?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you after eating. Today is your sister's birthday, so I bought chicken cake in the afternoon, and other food. You have to wish her a happy birthday before you can eat."

The two boys shouted happy birthday to Ye Xiaoxi one after another, and she was happy, she kept grinning.

After the meal, Ye Chenghu took the chicken cake and ran to the next door to show off, and then the brothers and sisters next door all ran over to shout happy birthday.

Ye Yaodong also kept them, let them sit at a table, sing birthday songs together, and eat snacks together. Although there was no big cake, at least there were snacks, and it looked like there was some sense of ritual.

After the envious group of children finished eating snacks, they ran home one after another to ask when their birthdays were, and whether they could celebrate their birthdays?

Almost got another beating.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also kept asking Lin Xiuqing when their birthdays were? Could they also celebrate their birthdays by calling everyone over like their sister?

"Then you have to take out your pocket money to buy snacks and invite everyone to celebrate your birthday."

"Don't want to!"

"I don't want to either."

"Sister also spends her own money. Her money is stored with us, so we celebrate for her. If you want to celebrate your birthday, take out the private money you hid."

"I don't want to celebrate my birthday."

"I don't want to either, I want to wait for Sister to celebrate her birthday next year."

"Two stingy ghosts."

After they ran out to play, Ye Yaodong chatted with Lin Xiuqing.

"Go to open the ship in three days, and then I will open this ship for the time being. When the big ship is repaired, I will change to the big ship."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the TV without turning her head and nodded, "You can handle it. It's just right to rest at home for a few days, continue to go to sea, go to sea on the same day and return on the same day, which is safer."

"Do you want to take you to sea for a turn?"

"Nerve, what am I going for? The whole family is waiting for me to manage, and the two little ones have to sleep with me at night, so I can't leave."

That's true.

"By the way, I heard in the afternoon that Rat and his wife are going to divorce."

"Divorced? So fast?"

Ye Yaodong was surprised. He thought the two would have to pull for a long time, and then maybe they could barely make do and live together.

"Almost divorced, they have been pulling and making trouble for more than half a month. In the afternoon, the women in the workshop said that they made a scene again in the afternoon, and it has been confirmed that they are going to divorce. They said they are going to get the divorce certificate early tomorrow morning."

"Then how to divide?"

"What how to divide? The family is poor, what can be divided? Just let his wife go back to her parents' home."

"What about the children?"

"The two sons are surnamed Chen, so they must stay in the husband's family. How can they be taken back to her parents' home? And their family doesn't want them either. How can they afford so many mouths? What's more, how can she remarry with children? Who wants to raise sons for others? If it were a daughter, maybe she could be taken away."

"So you've already thought about remarrying?"

"She's only 30, can still give birth, why can't she remarry? The reputation is bad in the village, but other villages don't know. It's simple to find an old bachelor to marry."

That's true. In this era, as long as a woman can give birth to children, is she afraid that no one will want her?

The man's family only needs to be able to eat, and there are women willing to marry.

The requirements for each other are very low, anyway, they are just living together.

"It's too anxious to remarry as soon as you divorce."

"If you don't remarry early, who is willing to raise you at your parents' home? You are not a little girl in your teens, you are almost 30, your reputation is not good, and you are divorced. Your family must also want to send you away early."

Ye Yaodong disdainfully flattened his mouth and didn't say anything.

"I heard that Rat has been beaten so badly that he can't get out of bed during this time. Tomorrow, his brothers at home have to help him carry him to divorce."

"It's quite miserable."

"That's not all because of you. Now the village is spreading that he hired someone to beat his father-in-law's brother's family, so that family is not easy to mess with, and they have also kept him from getting out of bed for half a month."

"Miserable~ Our workshop is doing quite well. In the future, you will know everything big and small in the village, even whose hen laid eggs."

"It really is. Our family bought three lambs, and we are going to open a new ship in the past two days. And the fact that we donated 500 yuan for Mazu's birthday has also spread throughout the village."

"Did you say it, or did my mother say it?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "The first two were said by Mom, and the last one was said by the old lady. Neither of them is worse than the other. They have been saying in the workshop that you are protected by Mazu, so you are safe in everything, turn danger into safety, and make a lot of money safely. Saying Mazu's birthday, you also have a special intention to express a heart."

"Thank them for making my reputation spread far and wide. Have the fish in the workshop been killed today?"

"Not yet, I didn't let them kill overnight. There weren't many people called today. Just kill for another day tomorrow."

"Oh."

Originally, the couple thought that the divorce of Rat and his wife would end like this, and there would be no disgusting things related to it in the future.

It's just that I didn't expect the Wang family's ambition to be quite big.

The village is also quite small.

Turning around, they are all connected relatives, and there is no gossip that can be hidden.

On the second day after Ye Yaodong's new ship opened back, because it was windy and he couldn't go to sea, the Harvest also came back early in the morning.

What made the women even more energetic was that the ex-wife of the Rat who had just divorced, the Wang Laohan family, actually wanted to introduce her to Pei Fu!!!

The village is really small~

When Ye Yaodong went to the workshop to wander around after lunch that day, he heard this explosive news, and almost didn't drop his eyeballs.

He didn't care whether it was appropriate for a big man to join the women's pile to gossip, so he quickly pulled a stool and sat on the side to listen. For fear of missing it, he leaned very close, and by the way, picked fish for them to slaughter.

These were all brought back by the Harvest when it came back in the morning, with ten thousand jin of goods.

"Is it true or false? Pei Uncle is at this age, and still has this peach blossom luck."

The women laughed to death when they heard his description, and one by one they were happy.

"This Wang Laohan family is also really good at planning. Maybe they heard about Old Pei's affairs a while ago, thinking that he is preparing to find an old companion, so they want to stuff this divorced daughter over to live a good life."

"It's also quite powerful, and they don't even dislike people being old..."

"What's wrong with being old, as long as there is money, the family life is good, and there is only one son. Maybe after marrying over, she can give birth to one or two more sons, and in the future, the family property can be divided in half..."

High! This abacus is absolute!

Then his old sister must suffer a big loss!

And this Wang Laohan family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If it really happens, then they will have to deal with their family by turning corners, and his old mother won't be angry to death?

"Still giving birth at this age..."

"It's young, what can't be born? She's only 30, at the age of lacking a man..."

Aunties, is this something I can listen to?

Ye Yaodong looked left and right, pricked up his ears, for fear of missing anything because of the noise around him.

"Then what about Ma Lifang next door? Before, everyone spread it with nose and eyes, saying that one splits firewood and carries water, and the other delivers vegetables, having come and gone."

"Then I don't know. Who let the Wang Laohan family's divorced daughter be young? One is not even 30, and one is over 40. It's not easy to choose~"

"Then the reputation is so bad..."

"But she's young. Marrying a 30-year-old can give birth to two more, marrying a 40-year-old may not necessarily be able to give birth again. He only has one son, how much he lacks a son."

"A person who already has a grandson, still wants to give birth to a son?"

"Isn't this very normal? I'm already a mother, my mother was still giving birth there at that time."

"This Wang Laohan family is really good at planning. I just said, according to their family's past urine, why did they divorce so simply and neatly a few days ago, and didn't rely on the Rat family, and didn't ask for compensation, just asked to divorce immediately, so it was waiting here."

"That is, I was also puzzled, why did they say divorce so simply? A while ago, they were still entangled there, wanting their family to compensate, and two days ago they didn't want anything."

"The abacus is really loud, but the Old Pei family's life is indeed very good, except for being a bit old, there is nothing bad. There are several ships in the family, and every time they dock, they pull a pile of goods back, not to mention selling money, they definitely didn't earn less money."

"His family has a row of electrical appliances, I saw them all, they have everything."

"Then if it's really intercepted, Ma Lifang won't be angry to death? I heard that someone saw her go to town to buy red flower cloth today."

"This is hard to say. Anyway, I heard that Old Pei came back today, Wang Laohan went to Old Pei's house to mention this, and then their Old Wang family was not afraid of shame. They went to Old Pei's house in the front foot, and just after eating lunch in the back foot, they spread it everywhere. It's just that I didn't hear what Old Pei's family meant."

"Then there will be news to watch during this period of time. The Old Wang family is really anxious..."

"Isn't it necessary to be a bit anxious? One step late, in case it's preempted by the widow next door, then they won't be empty-handed? It's not easy to wait for Old Pei to come back, so they have to lift their feet and talk immediately."

"Also, he went out to sea for many days, who knows if he is at home today, and not at home tomorrow..."

Ye Yaodong looked at what these women said, with nose and eyes, feeling that it shouldn't be a rumor.

Reasonably speaking, you can't stop people from finding an old companion, but you have to find a peaceful one. The village probably knows how that family sucks blood.

Don't know if Pei Uncle refused.

Suddenly, his heart was like a cat scratching, extremely curious.

Even rabbits don't eat the grass in the nest. In the Old Wang family, they actually set their sights on a 50-year-old uncle. It's really too good to think about.

One wool has already been sheared clean, and now finding an even more powerful uncle to target is truly ruthless.

Probably no one expected that the Old Wang family had such a plan.

Don't know if his father and mother have heard it. Probably not yet, otherwise, when eating at noon, his mother would have scolded.

After he listened from beginning to end, watching these old aunties talk about other irrelevant chickens, ducks, and geese, he stood up and wandered home.

Prepare to tell this explosive news to his good wife who is washing dishes.

A-Qing was indeed like him, surprised that the bowl almost broke. After scrambling to stabilize it, she asked anxiously: "Ouch, fortunately it didn't break. Who did you hear it from? Is it true or false?"

"Heard it from our information bureau's women, it should be true, no wind, no waves. The Old Wang family is really good at thinking. This move is really high. Instead of marrying a poor man, it's better to marry a rich old man."

"What nonsense, everyone says that family is a locust."

"Pei Uncle is not a vegetarian either, he is also very refined, okay? Don't know if he refused."

"Should refuse, right? Just divorced, not a few days, so impatient? Even rabbits don't eat the grass in the nest, and actually set their sights on our village's rich household."

"So everyone said their family's wishful thinking is loud."

"30 years old looking for 50 years old, not afraid of being poked in the spine, they are a generation apart, can be her father. Pei Uncle shouldn't agree, right?"

"Who doesn't like young ones? At this age, they can't compare with young ones. Who knows, maybe they are obsessed and want young ones."

"Then they said it to death..."

"What did they say? The fresh things in the village are endless, everyone discusses it for a while at most, and when there are other fresh things, they discuss other things. One old and one young, each takes what they need, maybe it's quite harmonious."

Lin Xiuqing patted him, "Which side are you on? You really hope Pei Uncle finds a young one? Then A Guang and Huimei won't be angry to death?"

"Of course I don't hope so, otherwise Huimei's good life will be a mess. Didn't she just look at A Guang having no mother, and she could be the master as soon as she married over. Now I'm just chatting and analyzing, then of course I'm telling the truth."

"No, wait a while and make a phone call to tell them..."

Ye Yaodong immediately pulled her, "What's the rush? Don't know how Pei Uncle expresses his attitude. If he doesn't have that intention and refuses directly, telling them won't make them worry in vain? Wait a while, in the afternoon or evening, there will definitely be other winds in the village."

"It's really funny, there can be such a reversal. I thought that after the couple divorced, the village should be quiet, and everyone should look forward to the theatrical troupe coming to sing, but I didn't expect there to be a more exaggerated big play waiting here."

Ye Yaodong agreed very much, this village's affairs are really more exciting than singing big plays.

It's really something that people can't imagine.

"Then what is the reaction of the Rat family?"

"I heard that his mother scolded at the door for a whole afternoon, what shameless, slut, etc., anyway, whatever is ugly, she scolded. The meaning is that she couldn't wait to find someone who could be her father as soon as she divorced."

Ye Yaodong shook his shoulders in disgust.

"It's really anxious..."

"Wash your dishes, I'll go out and turn around again, anyway, I have nothing to do."

"Then tell me when you hear anything."

"Gossip!"

"Aren't you the same."

Ye Yaodong went out to the village to turn around again, didn't go to the workshop, the information in the workshop had been dug out, and if he wanted new information, he had to wait for these women to go back to eat, maybe they would have it when they came back.

Now let him go to the village to turn around and listen to see.

Sure enough, the village was talking about the Wang Laohan family's affair everywhere, but he didn't hear that Pei Uncle refused.

He turned to the small shop in the village, listening to men and women talking vividly there.

The men were basically laughing at Pei Uncle's peach blossom luck, saying that at this age he could find someone about the same age as his daughter. The women were disdainful of the Old Wang family's wishful thinking.

"You men are really not hanging on the wall, you won't be honest, you are old, and you are still lustful."

"This is what you said, we just envy Old Pei, can't we just say two words?"

"You also think so in your heart, right? Wish the good things fell on your own head."

"Then don't talk nonsense, my wife at home is still fine, aren't you cursing her?"

"You think beautifully, if there is no money, who can look at you old men, all over half a hundred, and still thinking about finding a young and beautiful one..."

"You said this backwards, it's not Old Pei who went to find it, it's clearly the Old Wang family who took the initiative to find it, making it seem like it's his fault. People took the initiative to stick to it, what does it have to do with him."

"I think you are more moved than him..."

"Hahaha, we don't have this life."

"Don't know how he will choose? He should be sleeping now, but you are talking so lively."

"If you ask me, I've suffered for half my life, it's better to find a young and beautiful one. However, the Old Wang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, his old bones definitely can't stand the beating."

"Afraid of what? Doesn't he have a son? His son can't let the Old Wang family ride on his head and go wild."

"That's already over half a hundred, the life of the second half of his life must be quiet. At his age, finding another one must be for retirement, having a companion, how can he live with fighting? Isn't this just looking for trouble for himself?"

"If you ask me, one family is not quiet, and the other is too old. According to Old Pei's family background now, it's simple to find a widow in her 30s in another village."

"You old shameless, you just like young ones, wait a while and tell your wife..."

"Where and where, I'm not analyzing for him?"

Ye Yaodong listened to a pile of nutritionless things, and planned to turn around and leave, but someone pulled him and asked.

"How do I know, you ask me, who do I ask? What I know, I heard from your mouths."

"Aren't you relatives?"

"That's relatives, I can't manage people's marriage, right? Pei Uncle finds an 18-year-old, I have nothing to say."

"Then if he can find an 18-year-old, that would be powerful..."

"Then it is estimated that the old life will be put in, right? Hahahaha~"

He didn't hear anything useful, so he went home directly. Anyway, if there is anything, he will naturally know later.

Lin Xiuqing is also the same. She couldn't wait to go out to listen to gossip after washing the dishes. After digging out everything the old aunties in the workshop knew, she didn't hear any results.

When eating dinner, I heard that the Old Wang family went to Pei's house again in the afternoon. I heard that Pei Fu had just woken up, and then directly refused, saying that he was too old to match, but the Old Wang family asked him to consider it again.

Ye Mu scolded the Old Wang family for being shameless at the dinner table, insisting on stuffing a 30-year-old daughter to a 50-year-old old man.

"Also said don't want a dowry, don't want anything, if willing, just move over, the whole family eats a meal together. Also said it so nicely, just want the daughter to have a reliance in the second half of her life. Who doesn't know the faces of their family? Thinking that the Old Pei family lives on the big road outside the village, and people are drifting on the sea every day, so they don't know the wind and gossip in the village? Too shameless."

"Then Pei Uncle didn't refuse directly in the morning, is he also moved?"

Ye Fu glared at Ye Yaodong, "Don't talk nonsense, that's because he just came back in the morning, and he was exhausted, no time to talk about these, just let people go back first, sleep first, who knows the village is crazy."

"Is that so?"

"What is he looking for at this age? It's fine to live together and have a companion."

The old lady also couldn't help but say: "The village has been spreading with nose and eyes all afternoon, thinking that the relatives really agreed."

"That's all spread by the old guys in the village, one by one they must be envious, right? At this age, old and shameless, really not hanging on the wall will not be honest."

"Why are you glaring at me! What does it have to do with me!"

Ye Fu looked at Ye Mu glaring at him, and glared back.

"You woman is getting more and more unreasonable, making trouble for nothing every day, is menopause coming?"

"Are you envious too? Thinking that my menopause is coming and I'm useless."

"Unreasonable, too lazy to ignore you, eating can't block your mouth, talking about others all day can be pulled to me, where did I provoke you? Can I hide further?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at the two old ones, and was about to quarrel again, so she hurriedly interrupted, "Then if Pei Uncle doesn't have this meaning, it's better to marry the widow next door early."

"Who knows what people think, we are not embarrassed to go to the door to say, anyway, look."

A table of children listened to the adults arguing, no one said anything, they were used to it, they had to get used to arguing a few sentences when eating every three days.

It was just that when everyone calmed down and ate quietly, Ye Xiaoxi suddenly said a shocking sentence.

"Old shameless!"

"Cough cough cough..." Ye Fu coughed several times, staring straight.

Others at the table couldn't help it, some laughed out loud.

"Is it shameful?"

Lin Xiuqing also gently patted her mouth twice, "Eat your meal, why do you have so much to say?"

Ye Xiaoxi opened her eyes, looked at this and that, and it didn't affect her taking a spoon to dig the rice in the bowl.

Ye Fu also glared at Ye Mu with some shame and anger, "No door on your mouth all day, talking nonsense, teaching children bad."

"What did I teach bad?"

"Eat, what are you arguing about? Going to sea to put longlines at night, remember to get up early."

"Hmm, have the longlines been organized?"

"I already took them to someone to organize yesterday, and I'll take them back after the meal."

Their family now only has idle longlines to use, other fishing nets are on the ship when the ship is rented out.

The new ship just opened back for two days, no new fishing nets can be used, it happens that last year's idle longlines only need to be organized, and then supplement the damaged ones, which is very convenient.

Anyway, just use it for ten days and a half months first, wait until the Dongsheng is repaired, and then open it back, it will still have to open the Dongsheng.

The captured fishing boat has nothing but a diesel engine. Originally, that boat was not used for fishing.

When the time comes to rent it out, of course, others must be prepared, whether it is trawling, longlining, or sticky nets, or anything else.
