Chapter 1139: Lin Guangyuan

210,000 yuan is an astronomical figure even now. Forty years later, it wouldn't be much, barely enough for a down payment in a small county town. However, he didn't have 210,000 yuan back then forty years later.

In this life, he earned the money of his previous life all at once.

"The sun is so big at noon, I won't go back with you. I'll go directly back to the old house, so I don't have to go back to my own house after a while at your place, saving an extra trip."

"Hmm, go back."

Originally, he could have gone to settle accounts and get money by himself, but his father loved to follow, wanting to see how much the Fengshou sold for. It just happened that they came out together after eating lunch.

Ye Yaodong didn't look back, braving the big sun, and headed straight for home with the cloth bag.

It was only a short distance, but it made him sweat profusely, his cheeks were tanned bright red, and when he arrived home, the sweat on his forehead was like rain.

He put the cloth bag in his hand on the table, immediately stripped off his clothes, and went to get cold water.

Lin Xiuqing also sat up from in front of the TV, walked over and said, "Are all the accounts collected?"

"In the bag, you take it to count and put it away."

"Okay."

The old lady looked at him taking a cold water shower, chattering on and on, repeating over and over that he shouldn't take a cold water shower, why didn't he listen, and so on...

Ye Yaodong treated it as wind in his ears anyway. She said her part, he listened to his. It just went into his left ear and came out of his right ear immediately, never staying for more than a second. He didn't refute, and even nodded with a good attitude.

After taking a shower, he went into the room shirtless and climbed directly to the inside to lie down, because Lin Xiuqing was counting money outside.

"After adding this money, our family has 210,000 yuan."

Lin Xiuqing's mouth kept moving, and her hands didn't stop either, just nodding in agreement. When he wanted to speak again, she paused for a moment, then said fiercely, "Don't make noise!"

"Damn! So fierce, not even letting people talk. Just gave you money, and you want me to shut up."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, seeing she didn't react, he didn't speak anymore, simply closing his eyes to take a nap. Anyway, she didn't have any movement, and he fell asleep shortly after lying down.

In a daze, there was another little person beside him. He reached out to pull her over, then patted her, and they fell asleep together again.

When he woke up, the little person beside him hadn't woken up yet, still lying there with her belly exposed, sleeping soundly. He covered her belly with a quilt before getting up lightly and going out.

Lin Xiuqing was still sitting there watching TV as usual, and even eating melon seeds, looking incomparably leisurely.

"You've been watching for an afternoon, don't you think the TV will be hot?"

Lin Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, put down the melon seeds in her hand, wanted to stand up, but sat back down, "Watch for another half hour, I'll get up to cook after watching, just right."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, glanced at the TV she was watching, it seemed to be some kind of stage play. He stretched, sat down at the doorway to enjoy the cool air without interest.

At this time, a bunch of children ran back from far to near, running and shouting.

"Slow down, don't spill it out..."

"Wait for me... cousin..."

"What are you running for?" Ye Yaodong watched Lin Guangyuan at the very front running back excitedly, carrying a bucket in his hand.

"Little Uncle-in-law, I caught a bucket of yellow eels. Let Little Aunt stew them directly later."

He stretched his head to take a look, it was a full half bucket, looking like about ten or more jin.

"Busy all afternoon?"

"Yeah, a few of us went to catch them together. I caught the most, they caught very few, basically only half of mine."

Ye Yaodong listened to the noise next door also offering treasures, and knew that they all took buckets, and everyone had a share, so there was no need to divide them.

"You've really let yourself go since you came over. Are you having fun here? Day after day, it's either going up the mountain and into the sea, shooting birds and stealing fruit, or catching fish and shrimp."

"Hehe, isn't our countryside fun? The city isn't fun at all."

"That's because you have to work. If you didn't have to work and just ran around all day, how could it not be fun?"

"That's right."

"Take it in, see when your Little Aunt wants to cook, whether to cook now or after dinner."

Lin Xiuqing also came out to take a look when she heard their movement, then took over the bucket of yellow eels, and just happened to reluctantly turn off the TV to let it rest.

"Having fun playing here?"

"Happy!"

"There are still eight or nine days until school starts on September 1st."

Lin Guangyuan's original full-faced smile instantly collapsed, "So fast, it feels like I haven't been here for many days."

"It's been over half a month, the typhoon has passed. I see you're having so much fun you've forgotten to go home. If I don't remind you, you won't know. Have you done your homework? Ye Chenghu is the same, about to sign up for school soon, have you finished your homework?"

Ye Chenghu didn't say a word, his shoulders drooping like a zombie, swaying as he walked into the house, then sat in front of the TV sighing.

Lin Xiuqing suddenly said again, "Not allowed to turn on the TV, the TV is already very hot, need to rest for a while."

Ye Chenghu looked at her accusingly, "I haven't watched it all day, you won't watch a little less either."

"Who told you not to watch TV at home, and run around outside all day?"

"You watch TV all day long, it's so hot, it's going to break."

"I'm watching Sun Wukong."

Ye Chengyang's eyes lit up, "Is it on during the day? When was it on? Why didn't I know? Mom, what time did you watch it today? I'll watch it at home tomorrow, I won't go out."

He rattled off a series of words, and was overjoyed to hear that the Monkey King was playing during the day.

"Aren't you going to herd your sheep?"

"Bring them back early."

Ye Chenghu asked, "Mom, is it gone now? Can't it be turned on?"

"It's gone, hurry up and 'clasp the Buddha's feet temporarily', finish your homework. Each of you, for two months, only cared about playing, staring at that monkey all day. When you can't sign up, see what you do."

"Mom, tell me first what the Monkey King played today?"

"Don't you see I've been watching for an afternoon now?"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, ignored him, but instead looked at Lin Guangyuan, "I'll send you to the city in these two days."

"So fast?"

"Don't you need time to do your homework? And it's only a week left, don't tell me you've finished your homework?"

Lin Guangyuan was also very depressed, "No."

It was too fun here, going up the mountain and into the sea during the day, watching TV at night, no work to do, sleeping until the sun hit his butt every day, no one scolded him, having food and drink was really too cool, he didn't want to go back to the city at all.

He was originally a wild child from the countryside, but after going to the city, he stayed in the shop helping to work all day long, not having a day of rest. For him, this bitter life was too hard to endure. He would rather go back to school to attend class now than stay in the shop to work.

Ye Yaodong: "Let Mom filter all the fish sauce that can be filtered in these two days, then pack it up, and send it down with Lin Guangyuan in one trip."

"That's what I thought too. There's no dried fish in the warehouse now, and we can't just send him in an empty car, it's too much of a waste of time. Filter the fish sauce in these two days, pack a car, and send him away together."

The couple had already decided, and Lin Guangyuan had nothing to say. It was true that time passed super fast when playing.

Lin Xiuqing carried the bucket of yellow eels into the house, preparing to stew them first.

Lin Guangyuan was still sitting at the doorway sighing, "Sigh, have to study for another year, going to be laughed at for another year."

Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder soothingly, "Nothing to be laughed at. We are studying to learn knowledge. Knowledge is power. As long as you want to learn, it's never too late, no matter how old you are. Later, who knows who will laugh at whom? By then, everyone will have to envy you."

"You just comfort me. Captain Chen said it's not that easy to be a soldier now."

"Not necessarily. You first endure until graduation, then see about going through the normal application procedure."

"Oh, Little Uncle-in-law, everyone says you are very powerful now, knowing many big leaders, from everywhere. Do you have a way to send me to be a soldier?"

"You first endure until graduation, then I'll ask and see."

At that time, it was also him who kept urging Lin Guangyuan to go back to school to study, first to get a junior high school diploma, and then to be a soldier. He had dropped out of school for two years at that time, and it wasn't easy to listen to him and go back to school.

Being two years older than children of the same grade for no reason, and having dropped out of school for two years before going back, he must have suffered a lot of gossip.

Now wait for him to finish reading next year. If the normal application procedure doesn't work, then he must help think of a way to satisfy the child's long-cherished ideal.

"Alright, I'm relieved with your words. After I go back, I'll write my homework immediately." Lin Guangyuan was immediately full of passion again.

He was already 17, and would be 18 next year. He wasn't a child anymore. Normally, in the countryside, he could already get married. Ye Yaodong just said he understood, and he would definitely help.

As long as he endured for another year, it was very likely that his dream would come true next year. His sea soul shirt, which he took everywhere, was still neatly placed in Ye Chenghu's room cabinet.

"As long as you don't feel that being a soldier is bitter when the time comes."

"I won't."

"Go, no need to take a shower, go to the back door first to help me clean the sheep pen, and then clean up the goose droppings and whatever at the back door for me."

Lin Guangyuan was also petrified, "Ah?"

"Happy for so many days, did you think you didn't have to work anymore? Go quickly, the time to pay back the debt has come."

"Why..."

"Because if you don't do it, I have to do it."

Going to the province at night, and then going to Zhejiang to make money, how could he have time to do this dirty and tiring work.

Usually, those boys in the workshop did it every few days. Now seeing Lin Guangyuan so cool every day, how could this be?

Those boys in the workshop who were about the same age as him had already started making money, and two of them even followed out to sea. He also had to do more.

"I do it alone?"

"Do you want me to accompany you? It's also fine if you can call Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang."

"Fart!"

"Go quickly, clean it up a bit."

Lin Guangyuan sighed, resigned to take the broom and dustpan.

"Sprinkle a little more plant ash."

"Oh." ===== CHAPTER 1140 =====
