Chapter 1063: Flying Solo (10,000 words, +30 monthly votes)
Ye Yaodong was immersed in the accounts he calculated and was foolishly happy, not caring about others chatting and talking. Only when they talked to him did he casually perfunctorily respond a few times.
After the meal, without him needing to call, the brothers and sisters-in-law next door came over excitedly to calculate the accounts.
The eldest brother's boat was in hand a week earlier, so his accounts were calculated up to the 23rd of last week, and the second brother's accounts were calculated up to today. Every cargo list had a date on it, so it wouldn't be mixed up at all.
And in Lin Xiuqing's hands were still a few cargo lists of cuttlefish, which were a little bit more tidied up sporadically after the weather cleared up in the following few days.
Everyone took out the lists to calculate together. It wasn't the first time calculating accounts.
The cargo lists were all here, and the accounts were clear and explicit. It was just that when Lin Xiuqing wanted to deduct the two days of wages they had calculated extra, the two sisters-in-law frowned, both a bit unhappy, and didn't make a sound.
However, she didn't care at all. She glanced at them and went on her own, and what should be deducted was deducted.
At that time, it was they who said they wanted to go for another three days, calculated to the middle of the month. Later, it rained the second day after calculating the accounts, and they came back at noon. They didn't go for the following two days of heavy rain, so it definitely had to be deducted.
Three yuan per person, 6 people was 18, two days was 36 yuan, definitely couldn't be given for nothing.
Put into the public, their family could still divide 12 yuan more.
Brothers calculate accounts clearly, let alone partnership accounts, of course, they had to be calculated clearly.
However, it was the last time calculating accounts. Although the two sisters-in-law were not very happy, this was also a fact, and there was no giving them a rebuttal.
After calculating the accounts, the two sisters-in-law also verified them once. After there was no problem, they went home to get the money.
And Lin Xiuqing also looked at Ye Yaodong. "The accounts of the eldest cousin and Brother Asheng's side, should they be calculated tonight or tomorrow?"
"Calculate tonight. The amount of cargo payment in this month's accounts is relatively large. Calculate their accounts one day in advance, and tomorrow the 31st, go calculate the accounts of the Fengshou boat, and the accounts of the two boats rented out in the middle of the month."
"That's fine too. Those two boats also have half a month before and after. Deducting rainy days, foggy days, and big waves, they can also have a few days, and can also be settled. At that time, they can all be calculated from tomorrow or the 1st to the end of the month."
Ye's father was also listening on the side and interjected, "Your second brother's boat was also collected today. Tomorrow, take it to rent again with my boat. That boat was just cleaned by your second brother last year, so it can be left until the end of the year to clean. At that time, calculate the accounts at the end of the month together."
"Hmm, rent to whom?"
"Your mother said both boats are rented to the cousins of your eldest uncle's family. His family are all strong laborers. If there are boats next time, we'll see, and then distribute them to others."
"Fine then. As long as you guys have discussed it, it's fine."
Renting to whom had no loss for him. Anyway, there were little brothers to check, and his parents wanted to pull relatives and wanted to arrange it, he didn't care.
"Also, they all want to follow you to catch jellyfish this year... probably a big pile of relatives have to follow."
"If they want to follow, let them follow. Anyway, they aren't boat workers I hired, I'm not responsible for safety, and I don't guarantee how much they earn; they look at it themselves. Also, our Dongsheng boat definitely can't stay for a few days. At most, after the goods in the sea trench are caught, we have to go to a further sea area to trawl. Staying there and catching that one or two jellyfish definitely isn't as cost-effective as a small boat."
Ye's father nodded. "I understand, understand. Chen Jianian will definitely bring a big group of people at that time. Originally, they could catch for more than a month, but last year they caught for less than a month. This year, at most half a month. Whether those who follow can earn big money depends on luck."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were also listening on the side, looking at each other.
"So Dongzi, can't we earn money if we follow to catch jellyfish this year?" Ye Yaopeng asked with a frown.
"Not necessarily. Earning is definitely earning money, and it will be stronger than trawling at home. It's just that it's definitely impossible to earn several tens of thousands like we did last year. After all, one passes to ten, ten passes to a hundred. Everyone knows we earned a lot of money last year. The number of boats going this year, not to mention how many more there will be around us, Chen Jianian's side should have double."
"Then we can only look at it at that time and depend on luck?"
Ye Yaodong nodded.
Next year is definitely harder, but no matter what, we still have to look at this year's situation first.
This year, we can probably still eat some meat dregs; next year, we probably won't even be able to drink soup.
"Anyway, look at it at that time. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally be straight. As long as we don't lose money, it's fine."
The two brothers were a bit worried. It was clearly still early, but they started to imagine in advance, so the room was also silent, and no one spoke. Everyone was thinking about how much money they could earn this year.
And the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law coming over with money also broke the silence.
Lin Xiuqing took the money and counted it. After there was no problem, they returned to their homes.
However, the topic of discussion should also have changed to catching jellyfish.
Ye's father knew Ye Yaodong's plan, but didn't say anything to the two brothers. After watching everyone leave, he also left.
It wasn't that he didn't want to tell the eldest and second brother about Dongzi's plan; it was that these two didn't have as much money as Dongzi, and the two brothers would definitely hesitate, which would only add trouble to them, and it was originally an idea Dongzi came up with.
Dongzi had already ordered ten. If they wanted to do it, they would also go to other places to inquire about specialized wooden boat masters. No one knew how much more they could earn. Dongzi's assumptions might not necessarily all succeed, so they didn't have to learn from Dongzi to toss and turn.
Just taking their current boat over, earning more or less, was still earning money. Plus, they earned a lot in the previous year and the year before last. This year, who knew how many more boats there would be? How long could they catch?
They two couldn't toss and turn as much as Dongzi, so it was better to toss and turn less.
If it weren't for the fact that Dongzi wouldn't listen to him, he would definitely tell him not to toss and turn, and to catch and fish steadily and steadily. Anyway, he could also earn money.
After everyone left, Lin Xiuqing was also talking to him about this matter.
"The first person to eat crab will earn money. Those who follow can also follow to eat meat. After starting to follow the trend in large numbers, they can probably only drink the northwest wind."
"So you don't have to worry, don't think blindly. We can earn another wave this year, and I can definitely earn more than everyone else. Next year's affairs can be looked at next year."
Lin Xiuqing listened to his confident and well-prepared appearance and didn't ask much more. "Fine, then you have to go see the progress of those wooden boats of yours when you are free."
"Tomorrow. After I finish calculating the accounts in the city tomorrow, I'll go see the progress in the neighboring village. Just right after seeing it, come back at night to calculate the accounts."
"Then go call the eldest cousin, Brother Asheng, and them over to calculate the accounts now."
"Good, you tidy up the lists first, and I'll go call them."
He called all the people who rented the four boats. Hearing that they were going to calculate the accounts one day in advance, everyone was very happy, which meant they could get money.
For the eldest cousin and Brother Asheng, what they did this month could be worth four or five months of earnings. This month was the most profitable of the whole year.
And for the other two, being able to get money immediately after working for half a month was also a good thing.
Lin Xiuqing sorted their respective lists in advance. There were names and dates written on them, so they couldn't be mixed up at all. Every time the little brother brought the cargo list to her, she also took them separately and clipped them with a clip, and each copy was very neat.
The cargo lists of the eldest cousin and Brother Asheng were between the 3rd and 18th. Deducting the three days of rain when they didn't go, the other dates had two copies of cargo lists. One was the cargo list of cuttlefish collected for them, and one was the cargo list of trawling fish goods collected by A-Cai's side.
Adding these amounts together, there were really quite a lot this month. However, the harvest of selling cuttlefish was also public, and they all had to be combined with the total number, and divide half with their family.
So, Ye Yaodong calculated an account in his heart casually at dinner time, thinking that the cost of cuttlefish collected from them was considered free, and what the shop earned was pure profit.
However, a small part still had to be spent, because he had to take away half of the payment for the cuttlefish, and he also had to divide half of the trawling goods. The value of the goods trawled this month wasn't much, definitely not enough to pay for the other half of the cuttlefish payment.
After Lin Xiuqing and the others arrived, they followed the process to let them see the lists first. After there was no problem, they started to press the calculator to add and subtract. The total price on each list was written very clearly, so adding and subtracting was also very simple.
After calculating the total accounts, then divide by half for each person, the expenses belonged to them, and she directly took half.
"The eldest cousin's goods sold this month plus trawling earnings is 1936.28, Brother Asheng's is 2002.52, and the second cousin's is 263.3. Because Cousin A-Wen used an old boat, maintenance delayed a few days, less than the second cousin, only 137.55. You guys look at it yourselves."
"Are the eldest cousin's and Brother Asheng's so little? I thought they could all be over two thousand. Wasn't the end of last month calculated three days in advance? Didn't the three days behind count into this month? Those three days were also the fishing season."
"It was only good weather before the 12th. Calculating before and after, it was about half a month. Later, it was either intermittent rain or big waves. The second half of the month went less. Just now, the eldest brother's and second brother's sides added together, didn't we also divide 100-something? This includes the three days of fishing season at the end of last month that earned more."
Because when calculating accounts in the first half of the month, oil money and labor expenses weren't calculated, so when calculating accounts on the eldest brother's and second brother's sides earlier, the oil money and wages for the month were concentrated, so what could be divided was even less.
If it weren't for deducting their wages of 18 per person to the public, they couldn't divide 12 yuan more. The total that could be divided might just be 100 yuan.
"Oh, that's true. This year is considered heaven's beauty, a bumper year. There was no rain during the fishing season, and it only rained at the end. At that time, it didn't matter. Let it rain if it wants; anyway, the bulk has been earned."
Several men were actually very happy after hearing the report. How many days they went out, how much money they earned each trip, they actually kept in mind, and they also kept accounts when they went back, so they had a number in their hearts early on.
So they didn't have any opinions, nor did they say much, all chuckling, full of smiles, looking exceptionally happy.
"Whatever Aqing calculated, that's how much it is. It can't be wrong if it's pressed out by a calculator."
"Yeah, it's already a lot, not little."
"I didn't go for two days, didn't expect to calculate accounts so quickly, it's not bad to have money to take."
Ye Yaodong said, "We all calculate accounts at the end of the month. As for whether it's the last day of the month or the day before, it depends on the situation. In case I happen to be out at sea at the end of the month, not at home, it's normal to push back a day or two. This month is also special with the 31st, calculating accounts on the 30th today is just right."
"Good, anyway we have no opinions, calculating accounts at any time is fine."
"Yeah, whatever is convenient for you guys is fine. We are at home anyway, calculating accounts at any time is fine. Dongzi now has a big family and a big business, with so many boats, it's normal to be a bit busy."
One by one, they were very sensible, didn't have any opinions, and no one wanted to verify it again.
Lin Xiuqing felt it was simple and easy, so she simply and neatly calculated the money each person had to divide, and then recorded it on the list for them to see.
"Then there are no opinions, so divide it in half. I'll go get the money for you."
After everyone got the money, they were even happier. Dividing more or less was income. Those who divided less also knew it was only because they went for a few days, and they all felt it was not bad.
Dividing less now, it will naturally be more next month. Anyway, it's better than doing odd jobs, or farming at home.
And after the couple Ye Yaodong waited for people to leave, they calculated. Just now, half was divided over, and they also divided more than 2100. Plus the 100-something divided from the two brothers, they also divided more than 2200.
"It's also quite good. This month, the fishing season divided more, plus the 800-something settled in advance on the eldest brother's and second brother's sides in the first half of the month. Added together, this month also divided 3000 yuan. Last month, these few boats seemed to divide 800-something, more than three times."
"Yeah, this month divided a bit more. Next month, there are two more boats now, it should be able to divide 1000-something, just right to pay wages."
"Oh, tomorrow all the wages have to be settled."
"I know, I remember."
"Then so to speak, the money earned by these 5 boats every month is only enough to pay the workers' wages?"
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him. "When calculating money, calculate desperately, calculating the money that hasn't been earned into the hands. When it's time to spend money seriously, you can't think of how much you earned in other places? Just thinking about how much wages to pay."
"These 1000-something wages include 4 boat workers plus Dad, plus 5 little brothers in the workshop, plus mother, and also plus my father and mother in the city, and also plus the workers hired sporadically. Deducting these labor costs, the money collected from the city shop, plus the money brought by the Dongsheng boat, can all be considered net profit."
"I'm just being simple, taking the money earned by these few boats to offset the expenses, so that I can simply calculate how much was earned, which is convenient."
"But the money earned by these few boats every month is also solid. Adding together, earning 1000-something a month is also steady, and there's no need for any extra expenses at all. Collecting rent for a few months, the capital will naturally come back."
Ye Yaodong chuckled. "I'm thinking the same as you, just asking like this, look at how anxious you are. Who doesn't know that how much these few boats divide is net profit, and the expenses were originally generated in other places."
Lin Xiuqing didn't dismantle him after hearing his sophistry, just rolled her eyes at him, and incidentally tidied up the cargo lists on the table, waiting to take them back to the room to collect them the same way.
Leave a bottom first, no matter whether it can be used or not, anyway, keep a hand first.
"The eldest cousin and Brother Asheng each divided 900-something, one divided 1000 yuan. Two people deduct oil money and labor expenses, this month can also earn 700-something yuan, bloody profit."
"Look at this month in the whole year. In other months, where can you earn so much? In the middle of winter or when encountering the rainy season, sometimes a month might only go for four or five days."
"It's also okay, at least it can support the family. When going to catch jellyfish in July, you can earn another sum."
"Is there any word on when our next boat will be delivered?"
"No word, probably have to wait until next month. Anyway, what's produced next is all ours, just wait for one by one to be delivered."
"Then don't buy boats anymore. There are already too many. Wait for them to save for two years, they will definitely buy boats themselves, and it's impossible to rent anymore. After calculating accounts so many times, they will all have a number in their hearts. It's definitely more cost-effective to have their own boats to earn more."
Ye Yaodong naturally understood this. He just grabbed a first-mover advantage.
It just happened that everything was waiting to be done in the first few years, and everyone was poor, and even couldn't eat enough. Those who could have small wooden boats were already considered to have very good living conditions.
Whose family could save money so easily, able to buy boats one after another like him?
He just stood at the vent, hugged several boats in his arms, and then let others help him earn money.
After they each accumulated a little wealth, they would definitely order a boat to work alone, just like his eldest brother and second brother.
It was just that everyone was relatively poor now, and few could afford to buy. Plus, the shipyard's orders had been filled by him for these two years, so even if someone had the heart to partner, they couldn't order.
However, after they accumulated wealth for two years and went to work alone, he wasn't afraid that no one would rent the boat. The rich would only be a small part, and the poor would only be more than the rich. There were plenty of people willing to scramble to rent his boat.
"I know. Placing so many orders in one breath is just to occupy the production volume during this period. Next year or the year after, they probably have money to fly solo themselves. It's almost enough for us to have so many quantities for rent."
His production chain wasn't on these small motorboats. After the fresh-collecting boat was in hand next year, the next step was to wait for two or three years to change to steel fishing boats. At that time, he could go to the deep sea to catch, and could do everything faster than others.
And the wealth in his hands now couldn't be exposed. Knowing he had money was one thing, but who could imagine he could earn more than 100,000 in just a few years?
The current stage wasn't the time for him to enjoy. It was only the 80s, and he still had to continue accumulating wealth.
More than 100,000 was an unimaginable huge sum for ordinary people, but for truly rich people, it wasn't much, especially for the overseas Chinese who had returned to invest in recent years, it was even more drizzle.
This money of his wasn't enough to look at.
And now wasn't the time to buy houses and land. It wouldn't be late to buy in the 90s. At least the money was in his own hands. After buying houses and land, it would be pressed there.
Lin Xiuqing saw that he didn't oppose and didn't think about buying boats anymore, so she was relieved.
"Our family's boats are really too many. Just counting the boats that haven't been delivered in the factory, trawlers have 11. Plus there is a separate Dongsheng boat, the partnership has the Fengshou boat, and you have the three brothers'."
"Oh! There are also 10 small wooden boats!"
Heavens, thinking about it, she was very helpless. The boats of the whole village added together didn't have as many as her family's.
"You complain about the title of Salted Fish Dong every day. Now it's really almost time to change it to Boat King Dong for you."
Ye Yaodong laughed when he heard her say it. "You go out to help me promote it tomorrow, so as to save people from still calling me Salted Fish Dong, Salted Fish Dong there now. How ugly is that?"
"I won't care about you. Anyway, it's not calling me." Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, and then tidied up the documents and returned to the room.
"Don't, I can't go out to spread this, right? That's too embarrassing. My face is thin..."
Ye Yaodong was still sitting there stretching his neck and shouting, but who would care about him?
Not even giving him a look.
He had no choice but to sit there and finish the tea in the bowl, then go out to see the children.
The next morning, he was busy going to the city to calculate accounts, incidentally brought back a scale, and then incidentally went to the master who made wooden boats to see the progress of the small wooden boats.
Actually, at the beginning of the year, he wanted to buy after having the Dongsheng boat, but he never had so much free time, and it wasn't so coincidental to go to the city. Many times, calculating accounts was just passing by the city, and then incidentally brought them back.
Last month, he went to the city specifically to calculate accounts. When he arrived, it was already evening, and the next day was also early morning, so he hurriedly rushed back.
The family originally had a large wooden scale. That kind of thing would also be convenient to weigh dried fish. The hook in front could easily hook a few bags of dried fish.
It was just that after the New Year, there were more goods left by the Dongsheng boat and the Fengshou boat, and there were many places that needed to use scales. Wooden pole scales weren't suitable for weighing fresh fish goods.
These two months were also incidentally weighing at A-Cai's place. Fortunately, they only weighed twice a month. Only this month, they collected cuttlefish every day in the first half of the month, and the number of times they borrowed was more, so he also felt embarrassed and kept it in his heart.
So this trip to the city to collect money, he incidentally brought one back.
After returning home, the sun had also set, and a busy day passed like that.
When he wasn't at home, his father also rented out his boat and the old boat, which was equivalent to him having rented out 5 boats, and his father's boat now had to be entrusted to his little brothers to work.
After returning, his butt wasn't even warm, and he only drank a cup of tea before being called by his second brother to go to the Pei family to calculate accounts together, busy without his feet touching the ground.
At mealtime, the accounts were calculated.
Aunt Ma was quite enthusiastic, smiling and wanting to keep them for a meal. He refused. He wasn't at home all day, and there were things at home, so he had to take the money back first. His second brother also refused like him.
Only his father and Uncle Zheng had thick faces and stayed to drink.
At dinner, he was nagged by his mother for a while.
Ye Yaodong only caught his breath at dinner, and then sat there paralyzed after the meal with his legs propped up, not wanting to move at all, just watching Aqing busy going in and out.
"What are you doing?"
"Paying wages to your little brothers."
"Oh."
Watching her hurriedly go out again, he had no choice but to wait at home with his legs propped up.
When she returned to the room, he called her to find two more boys of similar age in the village to watch the workshop.
"I feel 5 people are not enough. Call another one, just right for two in a group, three shifts, and don't need to have two at night and one in the day like this."
The water and firewood their family used were all carried and sent over by these little boys when they were free during the day.
Two in a group and three shifts were indeed very necessary. In case someone had something temporarily, there could still be one person.
Lin Xiuqing thought about it and agreed in one breath.
Originally, those 5 were all from nearby villages. Calling another one from the village would also be better, supervising each other.
"Did you give the boat workers' wages?"
"Just sent them over."
"Did you add 5 yuan to the wages?"
"Yes, I remember. Don't worry, I added it at the end of last month. I also calculated a round number for father and mother, and I gave them 100 yuan each, the same as I calculated for father and mother."
"That's good. Did you count the money I brought back?"
"Not yet. You returned at mealtime, where would I have that time? I have to organize the eating and drinking of the whole family, finish tidying up, pay wages to everyone, and send them to the boat workers. I can only hide the money you gave me first, and count it slowly tonight after I'm busy."
"Then are you busy now?"
"Do you think I'm busy?"
Ye Yaodong touched his nose. "Busy, right? It's dark."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him. "I haven't even bathed the two girls yet. You go bathe them, then I'll be busy, and I can go count the money."
"Fine, then I'll bathe them."
Ye Yaodong was a bit eager to try. He hadn't bathed the children yet.
"Then you go catch them back first. They are all running wild with a few big children at the door."
He immediately walked out.
When he caught the two girls one on each side under his armpits, Lin Xiuqing had already prepared two large basins of hot water and put them in the room for him.
"Come, Dad will bathe you today, wash you white, wash you fragrant..."
"Good, good..."
As soon as the two girls' feet touched the ground, they happily kicked off their shoes, and then each stepped into a basin to play, splashing water all over the floor.
"Wait, wait, clothes aren't off yet, pants aren't off yet, what's the rush..."
Ye Yaodong was in a flurry before he took off the clothes and pants of the two.
Lin Xiuqing sat at the table counting money, just turned her head to look once and didn't care about him, but the laughter and noise in her ears didn't stop.
"Wash face first, then wipe the neck, and also the armpits..."
"So itchy, so itchy..."
"Watch... watch..."
"Sister, sister..."
"Sister, sister..."
Laughter and noise were continuous. Lin Xiuqing turned her head to urge him, telling him to hurry up and lift the children up.
"Don't splash, you two are not allowed to splash back and forth, the basin is about to have no water..."
"Hair is all wet, did you hear..."
"Alright, alright, no water, get up..."
"Don't, don't, still want to play..."
"Still want to play..."
Ye Yaodong was half-wet from being splashed by them. He squatted there looking helpless and exhausted, simply sitting on the ground with a plop.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaoxi shouted, "Peeing..."
He stood up immediately upon hearing this, but it was too late; she had peed in the bath basin.
"Aqing..."
Lin Xiuqing was also full of helplessness. "Who told you to bathe them for so long? You should have just lifted them out and wrapped them in the quilt just now."
"I thought I'd sit down and catch my breath first. Bathing these two is too tiring, always moving around, twisting and not cooperating, and splashing me all over."
"You take your basin and get another basin of warm water in, then use a toothbrush cup to splash her body."
"Fine."
Just as he went out, before the water was ready, he heard Ye Xiaoxi's shout from the room again, "Pooping, sister is pooping..."
The ladle in his hand didn't hold steady and fell into the water vat. Fortunately, the basin had been on the stove, so he hurriedly ran into the room to take a look.
Pei Yu's basin originally only had a shallow layer of water left at the bottom, but now egg flowers were floating on top. She was looking around innocently, a bit at a loss.
Lin Xiuqing also looked at the two children still sitting in the basin with helplessness.
The couple looked at each other without words.
"One peeing, one pooping!"
"Then what to do..."
He had no experience.
"Where is your hot water?"
"Oh, I'll go get it right now."
Lin Xiuqing could only take over these two hot potatoes, let the two children stand up first, and after Ye Yaodong brought the hot water in, she picked up the cup to scoop hot water, but she felt this cup looked familiar.
"Son's toothbrush cup?"
"Yes, can't use mine."
She glanced at him, shook her head speechlessly, took Ye Chenghu's toothbrush cup to scoop a cup of water and poured it on Ye Xiaoxi, and after confirming that they were all washed clean, she let Ye Yaodong lift them up and put them on the bed to wipe dry.
Then she rinsed the egg flowers on Pei Yu, muttering in her mouth.
"Then you just wash them casually and lift them up. You let them play for so long. In this weather, it's easy to catch a cold."
"Who knew one would pee and one would poop, making it so disgusting."
"Children are all like this. Being so small, there's always a time when they can't hold their poop and pee, that's why I told you to wash quickly."
"Next time, you do it. I'll count money."
"Just now you looked eager and active."
"Don't want to anymore, once is enough."
It really was enough once, didn't want to bathe them a second time.
"Put clothes on your daughter, why let her wrap in the quilt? What are you dazing about?"
"Tell A-Guang later, let him compensate for my mental loss."
"You have the nerve, you uncle."
"An uncle can't be responsible for poop and pee. This is his job. I'm both a father and an uncle, doing an extra job, so I have to ask him to compensate me."
Lin Xiuqing didn't bother with him. After washing Pei Yu, she also put her on the bed and gave her to him, then carried the two basins of water out to pour, and cleaned the basin.
Ye Yaodong was still muttering to the two girls there, "Your father, your uncle is very hard, having to earn money to support the family, and having to bathe you, handle poop and pee. You were raised by me with poop and pee. Remember to be filial to me when you grow up..."
"Be good next time, be obedient, can't be so naughty. Bathing is so noisy, peeing and pooping have to be said. How old are you? If your two brothers know, they will laugh at you..."
"It's just that the camera is not good to take at night. When the weather gets hot, I'll let you bathe in the courtyard during the day and take two pictures, and show you when you grow up..."
"See if you still dare to pee and poop in the basin..."
Lin Xiuqing returned and heard him muttering endlessly, and patted him.
"Why are you like an old man of seventy or eighty muttering endlessly to them? How old are the two? It's strange if they know what you're saying."
"You don't understand, this is my fatherly heart for my daughter..."
She glanced at him disdainfully and continued calculating accounts, not caring about him going crazy. From time to time, he liked to mutter in front of the children, clearly they were only a little bit big.
He didn't mutter to the two sons, but had so much to say to the daughters.
"Adong... Adong..."
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly turned her head to call him. "Someone outside is calling you."
"Ah?" Ye Yaodong paused and pricked up his ears to listen. Someone was really calling him.
"You two be good and play on the bed, don't get off the ground again. You're all washed clean, you know the ground is dirty?"
The two girls didn't care about him, already rolling into a ball on the bed, pulling the sheet and rolling to play.
Ye Yaodong hurriedly went out to see who was calling him.
"Oh, rare guest. Boss Lin has made a fortune and returned?"
"Let your dog move aside. Now it doesn't bark at me, but it doesn't let me in, blocking the door."
He pushed the dogs aside and invited the person in.
"Looking at this group of dogs in your house, it feels quite good. I also brought back two wolfhound cubs."
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up. "Wolfhound! Wolfhound is good. Share one with me?"
"You have a nest here, and you still want one?"
"Want. I don't think it's too many. Wolfhound, this isn't an ordinary local dog. Share one with me?"
"Too late. My two sons have already distributed one each."
"Where did you bring them back from? Are there any more?"
"No, they're all distributed."
"Fine then. Send me the kind that breeds, or take my dog to your place to breed."
"Then wait until next year."
"No problem, next year is next year..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Jishang throw the cloth bag in his hand to him.
"The telescope you've always wanted. This thing is very expensive and not easy to get."
Ye Yaodong happily hurriedly unpacked it. He knew that the bag he was swinging in his hand should contain the telescope. It had been almost two months, so it should have been in hand.
"You've been away for quite a long time this trip, it's been a month, right?"
"This trip wasn't in the vicinity, ran a bit further. The things were delivered, two clear, I'm leaving."
"Sigh, wait..." He hurriedly pulled the person. "Still have to trouble you to help me get something else?"
"What do you want again?"
"I still want another set of diving equipment, just like the one you got for me the year before last."
"You have one set and it's not enough?"
"Still want another set, otherwise one person going into the water is too panicked. Two people going into the water together can also have a care."
"Fine, you are really rich now."
"So-so, how can I compare to you."
"Don't tease, it's true that I can't compare to you, leaving..."
Ye Yaodong hurriedly pulled the person again. "What's the rush? Didn't say two words, rushing home to give birth to a child."
"Hey, it really is, you guessed it."
"Is it that monkey-urgent? Say two more words, can it delay you from giving birth to one less?"
"What other fart business do you have? Can you finish it all at once?"
"I just said how come you have one at the beginning of the year and one at the end of the year, it turns out they were all rushed out like this..."
Lin Jishang was full of black lines from his nonsense. What could be pulled together, what kind of mouth is this?
"Finish your fart business all at once."
Ye Yaodong immediately laughed. "I've accumulated a lot of goods, do you want to prepare some more? Earn more money, another 5000, 8000, 10,000 jin?"
"You can't sell it, right?"
"That's not it. I'm just caring about your shipping situation, afraid you have no goods to sell. Come a bit more, the villagers can also know you've earned a lot following me."
"I thank you!"
"No thanks. Then I'll weigh 20,000 jin for you tomorrow? I bought a scale today, weighing goods is very fast, don't need to take wood..."
"Are you crazy poor? Still want to force 20,000 jin to me?" Lin Jishang couldn't believe he doubled it again.
"Poor to the point of not being able to open the pot. It's settled, then 20,000 jin. Good, good, good, Boss Lin is a straightforward person, walk slowly and don't send, thank you Boss Lin..." Ye Yaodong said while laughing and pushing the person out.
"Nonsense, I'll come over in two days to pull 5000 jin."
"Not enough, right? How can 5000 jin be enough for you to sell..."
"5000 jin is enough for me to eat until the next life."
Lin Jishang threw down a sentence and hurriedly shook him off, walking quickly, for fear of being pulled by his shameless self again, and being added to 30,000 jin while talking.
This skin of the mouth, he also learned.
"Ah, you left? So urgent..."
"Adong... Ashang came over to buy dried fish from you again?" Eldest sister-in-law walked out curiously, looking around.
Second sister-in-law also ran out to see after hearing the movement. "Want to buy dried fish? Did he earn a lot of money? Want 5000 jin all at once?"
"Heard he earned quite a lot, hooked up with some rich boss, said he wanted more next time."
"No wonder he's always not seen. He's really lucky. He became a boss all at once?"
"Didn't you hear a while ago that your friend A-Wei also made a fortune? Heard he wore a suit and leather shoes, looking very foreign!"
"Yes, I also heard that. He even took the rat to make a fortune together. Envy the people in the village to death. A while ago, everyone was laughing at the rat, saying his wife wanted to marry an old man to enjoy happiness..."
Eldest sister-in-law immediately interrupted with a smile, "That can't be said randomly. Uncle Pei has already found a partner, it has nothing to do with him."
"Now it's good. Heard that she ran to the rat's house for two days, and was beaten out by his ex-mother-in-law every day, and still went every day. Hahaha, this is probably regretting the intestines are green, wanting to continue to rely on it, right?"
"It's really funny. Just divorced, didn't hook up with the old man, and the ex-husband is going to make a fortune."
"Just taking advantage of before making a fortune, hurry up and restore the relationship. After all, she is also the mother of two children..."
The two sisters-in-law sang and echoed the gossip that happened in these two days, the more they talked, the more energetic they became.
Ye Yaodong also opened his eyes.
He wanted to know, if the rat's ex-wife won over the children and moved into his house again, and the rat didn't make a fortune and returned in a mess, what would happen?
If he really made a fortune and returned home in glory, and found his wife moved into the house, what would happen?
Fuck, thinking about it feels like another big play.
And the accounts of the Fengshou boat hadn't been calculated yet; he probably had to calculate them again tomorrow.
