Chapter 1100

"It's like I come to the city to play every day. Am I here to play? I'm clearly here to do serious work. How many times have I been off the car and on the street?"

"Got off the car today, and stayed in the city's hostel. After going back, I can talk about it."

"You think I'm your mother?" Ye's father answered and changed the subject, "It's dark at this point, and there's no food to eat. Sleep early, and you won't be hungry when you sleep."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and looked at his father speechlessly, "How poor are we? Still not hungry when sleeping?"

Ah Guang reminded: "The hostel has food for sale. I'll go buy a few packs of instant noodles. This can be eaten after soaking in boiling water. It's very convenient, very fragrant, and quite delicious."

"I'll go, you go get boiling water, get two more bottles, we have to take a bath later."

"That works too."

Ye's father watched the two go out together, then touched his forehead, forgot.

He also muttered, "Used to being poor..."

It's hard to say whether instant noodles are nutritious or not, but the fragrance is really unique, and the noodles are deep-fried, which is extra fragrant. The boiling water just poured in, and there was a rich smell, filling the whole room.

Except for Ye Yaodong, the other two were a bit impatient, their noses twitching constantly.

"It's quite fragrant, no wonder those children think about instant noodles every day."

Ye's father occasionally lifted the inverted plate to check if it was ready, exactly the same as the children at home who couldn't wait, and then worried that the temperature was not enough, touched the plate covered on top, even if he was scalded, he couldn't help but touch the bowl wall again.

"That's because you eat little, everything will feel bad if you eat too much."

"This thing is so expensive, and you still want to eat a lot, thinking beautifully."

"Who knows, maybe you'll vomit after eating it."

"You just blow it, eat it as a meal for three meals a day, who can afford it, rich people can afford it."

Ye Yaodong laughed, everyone didn't know what he was laughing at, and he didn't care. He lifted the lid and stirred it himself, and started eating.

Ah Guang also immediately lifted the lid and started eating.

Ye's father saw that both of them were eating, so it should be cooked, and he also ate it with great fragrance. Finally, there was no soup left in the bowl. Even the soup left by Ye Yaodong, he muttered about waste, and drank it all up.

"It's delicious, it's just that the portion is too small, forget it, sleep soon."

The three of them took a simple shower and went to sleep directly.

Early the next morning, they drove the tractor and rode the motorcycle to the village committee, and then went to file together.

After settling things, they went home directly.

Lin Xiuqing had been waiting at home with her neck stretched for a long time. She brought 2000 when she went out yesterday morning, and later let Ah Guang bring 8000 over. She didn't know how big the land bought was.

Mainly because the phone call didn't make it clear, just talked about a rough idea. Spending such a large sum of money, she always had to know whether it was spent on the blade, whether it was worth it.

Although she always felt that the land outside was useless, after all, they didn't live there. It was fine to buy a small homestead to build a house, at most build a warehouse. He insisted on being as big as possible, and didn't know if there was any name in it.

After hearing the sound of the tractor and motorcycle, Lin Xiuqing brushed and immediately stood up, turned off the TV and went out. She had been waiting for a whole morning plus noon. She didn't look carefully at what was on TV, just waiting for them to come back.

As a result, the one who rode the motorcycle into the door first was Ah Guang. Ye Yaodong drove the tractor to the workshop and parked it, then walked over.

Lin Xiuqing asked Ah Guang curiously: "Did you buy it? How many mu of land did Adong buy? Is it reliable?"

"Reliable, the contract is signed, the village committee is stamped, stayed for one night specially last night, went to file early this morning, bought 13 mu of land, now Dongzi is also a landlord."

She smiled and said: "That can't be said, what landlord or not, we bought idle wasteland."

"Yeah, anyway, it's bought. After two months, arrange for someone to build the house, and the outer wall must be enclosed. The area is all divided."

"It's good that it wasn't cheated."

Then she was relieved.

After Ye Yaodong entered the door, she asked again. Ye Yaodong told her the whole story again.

"Huh? My brother also bought?"

"Yeah, also allocated a homestead, the area is quite big, it's also fine, it will be cost-effective. He said that buying a piece of land will have a place to land, and if possible, move the household registration to the village, let the children go to school in the nearby village by the way. Anyway, they go back less now, busy in the city all year round, children can't take care of them, pick them up together, can take care of them and have helpers."

"That's true, how much money did my brother spend?"

"300 yuan, the area is almost twice as big as ours, it's also cost-effective. A few days ago, I thought about letting your second brother move Dongxue to the city to study. Didn't expect your second brother didn't move, brother had ideas first."

"Brother is also doing good business these two years, made money, so he is willing, and also thinking about staying in that market to earn this money, didn't the shop buy it last year? Must also be thinking about settling down there by the way, convenient, this is also the confidence after having money."

"Yeah, own home is different from living in someone else's. Now a family of five is squeezed into a room of more than ten square meters, which is not so convenient. The children are all grown up, A Yuan is 17, and the following are all teenagers."

"If brother buys this land and builds a house, then he is really a city person in the future."

"Your second brother sees your brother buying land and building a house in the city, will he not want to farm anymore."

Lin Xiuqing hesitated, "Don't want to farm, he can't think of what to do. Second brother is relatively honest, not flexible."

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Don't care about them, you put this away first, this is equivalent to the land deed before, very important, don't lose it."

"I know, I will keep it well."

After Lin Xiuqing returned to the room, she pressed the calculator. 10,000 yuan bought 13 mu of land, equivalent to about 770 yuan per mu. Compared with the homestead for building a house, it is quite cost-effective.

They are also because there is too little land by the sea, building a house, homestead costs 300 yuan. The city area is larger, and it is only so much.

Ye Yaodong responded to a few words of concern from the old lady, let the old lady cook him a bowl of noodles, and followed her back to the room, and also saw it.

"It's very cheap. Originally, they only gave 10 mu of land. Talked about the price with them. They probably also felt that the wasteland in the village was empty, and it was a big bargain for them to be able to sell money. Otherwise, it was useless for them to throw it there, but several old men were reluctant to reduce the money, so they gave me a little more land."

"But such a large area is useless to us. We build houses and warehouses, where do we need such a large place."

"Useful in the future? You say useful in the future every day, how many things in the family are you saying useful in the future, and then keep them."

"That is really useful. In ancient times, for a little land, you had to fight, every inch of land must be fought for. How important land is. At worst, the market is not far away. I take a small part to build a row of houses to rent, which is cost-effective. It is impossible for the market not to have people who rent houses like us. It will be more in the future."

"Future again... listen to you say future every day, ears are calloused. Fortunately, we have a lot of deposits now, take 10,000 yuan to buy a piece of land and put it there first, betting on your future doesn't matter."

"Right, that's what I think. We have a lot of money, put it there, and don't worry about being bitten by mice..."

"Where do we have mice in our house."

"Then cockroaches."

Lin Xiuqing hit him, "Do you have to move everything home?"

"Hehe..."

"That's it, bought it. I'll call to see when brother wants to build a house later, we will build it with him, let him help us supervise by the way, after all, you can't run to the city every day, let him watch by the way, just right."

"Good, you discuss with him."

After settling the land, Ye Yaodong had no other goals for the time being, and could go far without distraction in a few days.

Ah Guang went home first when they entered the door.

He ate noodles and went back to the room to lie down and sleep.

For the next few days, he and his dad kept turning the land and collecting vegetables there. Winter melon, pumpkin, gourd, potato, which are resistant to storage, were collected in a full yard, piled up to the brim.

This is the happiest for the old lady, feeling that she didn't plant in vain, collected so much, all can be used, no need to send people to eat everywhere like previous years.

Ye Yaodong also felt that this year was the most useful year. This year, he had 24 other workers, plus 6 on the Dongsheng, 30 people consumed huge amounts every day, and they were all young and strong.

The old lady also offered treasures and moved a jar of pickles she pickled at the end of last year.

"Last year, I asked you to help me dry, and you insisted that I was tossing blindly. Planted so much, couldn't finish eating, had to pickle, pickled and couldn't finish eating, still had to send people. Now isn't it all useful? These pickles are just right for stewing potatoes, nothing needs to be bought outside."

"Right, right, right, you are all right."

"Then after these winter melons and pumpkins are collected, plant more other..." The old lady muttered there again, turning around that little self-reserved land, planning what to plant next...

Lin Xiuqing was also not idle. When they were cleaning up the land, she was also turning over the inventory at home. There were quite a few dried vegetables in the family, some sent by her mother's family, and some dried by herself that couldn't be finished. She turned them all out and took the opportunity to clear the inventory.

Even the sweet potato silk was turned out by her in a sack, making the old lady happy.

"Look... look, there are these... just mix them with rice and cook, save some rice, otherwise so many people, one day will eat a big bag."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and turned out a sack of mung beans, "Then there is a sack here, can also cook bean rice."

"This is good." The old lady's rough big hand reached into the mung beans and stirred and touched, her old face smiled like a flower, "Move them all out, give him a piece to take over in a few days."

"Adong hates eating rice mixed with these miscellaneous things at home, must eat white rice, so these bean sweet potato silks are left so much, now it's good, go out and eat with everyone."

The old lady also sighed, "Sigh, away from home, not as comfortable as at home, eating and drinking must be the same as everyone else, but with so many people, no way, how to save some rations. People in the village now also eat mixed together, only he doesn't like rice mixed with seven or eight things, so our family has always been big rice since moving to a new house."

"Yeah, of course must eat mixed together, otherwise how much food is not enough to eat, wait for return to make up well."

This trip has so many people, the materials brought are not small, mainly saving where possible, moving from home as much as possible, not trying to buy outside, after all, 30 people, daily consumption is huge.

During the few days they were busy, people in the village also kept coming to the door to ask when to set off.

Every time this time, Ye Yaodong threw the pot, let them ask Ah Guang directly, saying he also listened to Ah Guang's command, when to go when to go.

However, the factory also started work at the time expected at the beginning, no change.

After discussion, they planned to set off three days earlier than the factory started work. After all, sailing takes more than ten hours. After arriving at the place, they have to arrange to live, which is quite troublesome. At least reserve two days, and then rest for a day or look at the situation.

People in the village who were determined to follow also didn't go to sea these two days, and were all preparing things to bring at home.

Ye Yaodong spent two or three days organizing the materials, then went to call a barber to the door, and then let his dad call the workers over, let everyone line up and shave their heads bald.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, they pushed and shoved when they were about to shave. No one wanted to be the first, and there were a lot of villagers around watching the fun.

Later, Ye's father sighed, sat up and shaved first, and then one after another, one after another.

Some people who were unwilling at the beginning, after watching one bald head after another, a large group of people accompanied, and they all followed and laughed.

People have a herd mentality. Everyone is the same, so it is not independent, but has some mentality of joining the fun.

"Ah, it's quite cool, cold..."

"I also feel that I am several pounds lighter..."

"It's quite comfortable, it's not hot all of a sudden..."

"Your head is quite round, let me touch it..."

"Get lost, shave one yourself, touch your own..."

One by one, they shaved their heads bald, as if they had discovered a new continent, and couldn't help but keep touching their smooth heads, not minding that there were small hairs just after shaving.

And they didn't go home to wash their hair immediately, but continued to stand in place and watch others shave, all wanting to see what others looked like after shaving their heads bald.

Those who were laughed at just now, now have to laugh back.

"I have one, no need to draw..."

"Mine looks good. Stretch out your hand, be good..."

"I really have one."

"This one doesn't look good. Mine looks good. Dad, be obedient."

Ye Xiaoxi held the pen and had already poked his palm and the back of his hand several times. It was all blue pen ink, and her own palm was also full of blue scratches.

"Where did you get the ballpoint pen?"

"Big brother's."

"Ahai's?"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded and finally pried her father's hand over, revealing the back of his hand.

She excitedly took the pen and drew circles back and forth on the back of his hand. Because she was too excited, her mouth kept grinning, and the saliva in her mouth couldn't be contained, dripping down. The speed of sucking couldn't keep up with the dripping.

Before a watch was even finished, the back of Ye Yaodong's hand was already covered in saliva. She also seriously used the back of her own hand to wipe it, smearing half of his forearm.

He resignedly stretched out his hand for his precious daughter to draw, and then watched Aqing counting money and calculating accounts.

"You take the fountain pen I was rewarded with to use. Anyway, there is ink at home."

"No need. Such a good fountain pen should be put away; it's a waste to use it for calculating accounts. The old fountain pen at home is enough to write with."

"Don't you always say the old fountain pen drips ink too fast and sometimes doesn't write clearly?"

"It's fine if it can be used. This is a reward; let's keep it as a souvenir."

"Then buy a ballpoint pen another day. This ballpoint pen is easy to write with, no need to keep adding ink, and it won't get stuck."

"I'll see later. This seems to be just emerging. I don't seem to have seen this kind of pen before, and I don't know where Ahai bought it."

"Snatched it from the factory?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled. "Nonsense."

"Not nonsense. Can he go buy a pen? There are ready-made ones in the factory. Isn't it convenient to snatch one?"

"Then this one is now in your daughter's hand, so it belongs to us?"

"Hey, right! No need to buy. Isn't it ready-made right here? Your brain is still useful. Even an educated person snatches things more naturally than others."

"Nonsense." Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him. "Don't bother me; I haven't finished calculating the accounts."

Ye Yaodong lowered his head again to look at Ye Xiaoxi. After a long time, she only drew a circle, and it wasn't just a circle, but a mess of lines. Yet, the pen kept scratching back and forth on the back of his hand, which was quite itchy.

He reached out to scratch it, but was slapped hard by Ye Xiaoxi, who shouted at him with a milky ferocity: "Don't move! I'll hit you!"

"Who are you acting so fierce like?"

"Grandma~"

"Hahaha, no mistake. Sure enough, a child's eyes are sharp."

Lin Xiuqing heard it and turned her head to laugh.

Ye Xiaoxi drew the watch with incomparable seriousness, occasionally comparing it with the one on his hand.

Ye Yaodong lay there bored. His wife and children were busy with their own things, and he was the only one idle. Watching Ye Xiaoxi pouting her butt, his hand itched and he couldn't help but pinch her little butt. It was soft and felt really good.

"I'll fart for you to eat."

"You fart." Ye Yaodong smiled and deliberately placed his hand on her buttock.

"Giggle~ Not now~"

"Hahaha..."

Although there was no fart, Ye Xiaoxi was not to be outdone. She sat directly on the bed, and her butt vigorously rubbed his hand.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts... Move your butt away..."

"No, no..." She shook her head, and her butt was also shaking there.

"The watch isn't finished yet."

"Oh, right~"

She immediately reacted that the work wasn't finished yet, so she moved her butt again and continued to pout there to draw the watch for him.

After a long time, Lin Xiuqing finished calculating the accounts and climbed onto the bed, but she was still pouting there drawing.

"It's drawn!"

Ye Yaodong raised his hand to look at the watch-like thing on his hand. If it weren't for the many messy lines on the side, it would really be almost the same as the one on her hand.

He hugged the child and kissed her. "It's drawn very well, exactly the same as the one on your hand. I'll change one for Mom tomorrow too."

"Okay, okay."

Having received affirmation, Ye Xiaoxi was extremely happy. She turned her head and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Mom, I'll draw one for you tomorrow, one for each..."

"Okay, time to sleep."

"Want to drink milk."

"Brew some malted milk?"

"Just want milk..."

"Okay..." She could only helplessly unbutton her clothes and coax her to sleep.

Ye Yaodong looked at the mother and daughter lying down and also stretched his head over. "I want milk too..."

Ye Xiaoxi bit her ration, stretched out her five fingers to push his head back, and said vaguely: "Go away..."

"Don't love me anymore? You just drew a watch for me."

"Go away." This time it was Lin Xiuqing who said it. "Turn off the light quickly."

"Fine, you two are in one camp, and I'm in another. Don't come over when I sleep in the middle of the night, don't touch me."

"Shameless, who wants to touch you."

"Whoever answers me is the one who is about to touch me."

Lin Xiuqing reached out and slapped him. "Shut up."

Ye Xiaoxi also followed vaguely and shouted: "Shut up."

"Hmph~"

The next day, Ye Yaodong slept until the sun was high before waking up. He heard from Lin Xiuqing that Aguang had come over once this morning.

He had to hurriedly eat breakfast and go to Aguang's house to find him. Of course, he also brought Ye Xiaoxi, the drag-along, with him.

"Looking for me in the morning?"

"Mm, there's no progress yet, but the factory said it's estimated to be about a week. It's not much different; it won't be much later. Anyway, it's basically that time every year, sometimes early, sometimes late. It's not wrong to prepare in advance."

"That's also fine. Prepare everything that should be prepared in advance. After a couple of days, make another phone call to confirm, and we can arrange to set off."

"Right, that's what I mean. When will you move the small boats to the big boat? You have so many things."

"When the tide recedes to the bottom after 12 o'clock later, we'll move them. My dad has already called over a dozen boatmen. After eating at noon, we'll go to the pier."

"Then I'll go out to help later at 12 o'clock."

Ye Yaodong nodded and then changed the subject. "Let me see the child, see if there's a big change."

"Aunt Ma said we are about to go out to make big money, so don't enter the confinement room; it's not good. I'll let her carry them out."

"Fine."

The two small meatballs had indeed grown quite a bit, but they were still as dark as ever. It looked like it would be difficult for them to become fair in the future, but their features were quite good-looking.

"It's good that it's a boy."

"It doesn't matter. Your son is also very dark; it's natural and no different from being tanned."

"Indeed, dark is healthy."

Ye Yaodong held the child and played for a while, then waved at Ye Xiaoxi. "Do you want to hold your brother?"

"No, so ugly."

"Why are you telling the truth? Xiaoyu, is your brother good-looking?"

Pei Yu also shook her head.

Aguang rolled his eyes. "Are you doing this on purpose? Jealous that I have twins."
