Chapter 1170: Almost

After Ye Yaodong calculated the affairs and accounts in the city, he didn't stop and immediately drove the tractor back.

He spent the whole day running on the road, and it was completely dark when he reached home.

It started to get a bit cool in the evening, and there were fewer people sitting at the door to cool off in the village. Only some children were running and jumping on the road. The temperature difference between morning and evening was large, and some were already wearing long sleeves and long pants.

The small ones in their family were also wearing long sleeves and long pants. Only the big children were still in short sleeves, sweating profusely from running at the door.

He carried a small half-box of lighters and walked toward the door of his house. Everyone's eyes were sharp and they all surrounded him.

"Third Uncle..."

"Dad... what are you carrying..."

"Third Uncle, we'll help you move..."

A large pile of people surrounded him. More than a dozen hands reached out, and they had already been moved away before he could even speak.

He had to follow behind, "Go play, I don't see you being so active when you usually work."

The old lady happily followed on the side, "Haven't been home for a period of time, just back, everyone is so close."

Aqing also said, "Coming back so late, stewed old duck soup in the pot, hurry up and serve it to eat. What is this box? Why buy things back again?"

"Third Uncle, what's in here?"

"Lighter."

"Wow, lighter? I have one at home, Third Aunt took one for my father last night..."

Ye Yaodong let them put the things down and sent them away. Everyone was reluctant to leave, looking back at every step.

"Didn't you just pull the lighters to the city? Why did you hold a box back again?"

He handed the cloth bag containing money to Lin Xiuqing, "Afraid there won't be enough to sell, giving here and giving there, feeling the quantity left is not enough."

"Oh, indeed there's none left."

"Sold out?"

"Sold out, and also gave away almost all. In the evening, Aguang and Hearing Xiao Xiao Azheng and the others also came to look for you, but you didn't come back, so I gave them one each."

"That's just right, I moved a small half-box of goods back again."

"Eat first, talk while eating." The old lady had already filled a large bowl of old duck soup for him, and the rice was also filled and placed on the table.

"I'll go wash my face and wash my hands first."

"Tanned a lot, before it was still white and clean..."

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand to look at it, comparing it to his face, his hand was even darker, but compared to most people in the village, it was normal.

Men in the village don't talk about it, most women's skin is also relatively dark. This is all from constant labor.

Aqing's skin inside her clothes is slightly whiter. Now her hands are also about the same color as his.

"What do I, a big man, need to be so white for? It doesn't matter, as long as it's not as black as old tree bark."

Lin Xiuqing opened the cloth bag he handed over, looking at a pile of big money and small money, "The quantity is not small. Dad said that a batch of wages was just issued for the workers who organized the empty land last month, which was distributed from the turnover of the city shop."

"That wage is not much, only a few hundred yuan. You count it and record the accounts."

Ye Yaodong silently calculated. Adding the money he brought back, the dividends of the fishing boat last month, and the turnover in the city, their family should be able to have 240,000 or 250,000 now.

"By the way, it's mid-to-late October now, has the kelp in the village been planted?"

"Haven't heard, I don't know, you go to the Village Committee to ask tomorrow."

"Then I'll go ask tomorrow."

He estimated that according to the current weather, he had to wait until November.

He ate a simple meal and went to take a bath.

In the room, Lin Xiuqing was silently calculating the accounts. He was also thinking that he wouldn't go to the city tomorrow, but would go to the Village Committee first.

Besides chatting about the kelp planting situation, he also had to make a phone call to Ye Yaohai to ask about the filling machine. It would be best to decide through a phone call, and then go over to try it out, pay the money, and move it back, which would save him from running back and forth.

By the way, he also asked about the matter of ancestor worship that his father had always cared about. Calculating it, it had been two months and a bit. At that time, it was said to be about two months, so it should be about the same.

Looking at it this way, there were quite a lot of things one after another. He had to be busy turning around next.

Ye Yaodong waited for Aqing to finish counting the money, folded the money into portions, and put it away before asking her how much money the family had.

"Almost 250,000 plus, there's no time to count the coins of a few cents and one or two dimes, but several buckets are almost full."

"Accumulate it, wait until the few days of leisure during the New Year, and we'll move it to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to exchange the coins for new banknotes."

"Then there will be some to count."

"It really has to be exchanged this year. It has been said several times, and it hasn't been exchanged. The wardrobe is about to be unable to hold it."

"Mm."

Ye Yaodong didn't remember which year the hundred-yuan banknote came out. Anyway, his memory should be about the end of the 80s. In the case of his large amount of cash, it is still better to exchange it for hundred-yuan banknotes to save space.

The money in these years is too easy to spend. A few cents and a few dimes can buy things. The purchasing power is too strong, and the circulation is exceptionally large.

If it weren't for the fact that his shop is mostly wholesale, maybe the coins received would be more.

"Are you going out tomorrow?"

"Not going out tomorrow, make a phone call first, why?"

"Nothing, want to ask you who the newly acquired 003 boat is going to be rented to. It's only been back for two or three days, just right for you to rent it out, and we can also have the income of one more boat."

"Oh, look tomorrow, just let out the wind, there are plenty of people who want to rent."

"Doesn't this depend on your meaning? You are the head of the family, and you are back, of course listen to you, see who you want to rent to."

Ye Yaodong smiled and leaned over, hugging her and touching her up and down, "Listen to me?"

Lin Xiuqing slapped away his salty pig hand and said unhappily: "What I say you say, what are you thinking about in your head."

"I've been out for more than a month, if I don't think about these two on your chest, you should be suspicious."

"Then why did you sleep so early last night!"

"I rely... I knew you were always thinking about it, fortunately I grabbed it and didn't let go." Saying that, he even used two more points of strength.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glared at him twice, "I was thinking about you coming back safely."

"I know, I understand. Yesterday I didn't sleep well on the boat, almost didn't sleep all night, so I was too tired when I came back, so I slept early. I definitely won't sleep so early tonight."

"You also ran back and forth today."

"That doesn't matter, people are back, no matter what, I have to satisfy you first. I'll be tired if I'm tired, lest I fall asleep as soon as I lie down later."

"Getting cheap and still acting good..."

"Raise your hand, cooperate a bit..."

The couple moved step by step to the side of the bed, undressing, touching, rubbing, and kissing.

It was just that as soon as the two lay down, Aguang's voice sounded outside.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to pretend not to hear, but Ye Xiaoxi had already pushed the door in with a bang, and was still chattering.

"Little sister, it's on the bed, I'll get it for you... share one with you..."

"Dad? You're sleeping? Mother is also sleeping?"

Ye Yaodong was in a hurry to take the quilt and cover Lin Xiuqing, angrily glared at her, and cursed a debt-collector in a low voice.

Pants were taken off, almost scared to death by her.

Forgot to lock the door when I came in to get shorts to change after taking a bath.

He shouted at Aguang outside, "Wait for me, I just came back, just finished taking a bath, I'll go get clothes to put on."

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know anything, climbed onto the bed with hands and feet, looking for the small dolls Ye Yaodong brought back for her yesterday, and some small toys.

Pei Yu stood by the bed and watched curiously.

Lin Xiuqing was embarrassed to death, her cheeks were red, and she was holding the quilt tightly on her body. It just so happened that Ye Xiaoxi was still talking about her doll, and even pulled the quilt, wanting to find her doll.

She could only pull the quilt and press it under her body, lest it be lifted, and the child didn't know anything and would have to shout again.

"Take the ones in the corner of the bed to play, find the ones you can't find tomorrow, Mother has a cold, headache and wants to sleep, don't make trouble."

"Mother is sick?"

Ye Xiaoxi stopped looking for toys, hurriedly crawled over, lay on her, and even stretched out her little hand to touch her forehead, and touched her face again.

"Are you uncomfortable? Want to take medicine, get an injection?"

Ye Yaodong found his clothes and hurriedly returned to the bedside, holding Ye Xiaoxi who was lying on her down.

"Don't disturb your mother, she'll be fine tomorrow."

Ye Xiaoxi broke free from his embrace, lay back to the bedside, and then reached out and patted Lin Xiuqing's chest.

"Then I'm going out, then Mother you sleep, I won't disturb you."

"Go, go."

Ye Xiaoxi leaned over and kissed her cheek.

Pei Yu also followed suit and kissed her, and then the two sisters went out holding hands.

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing with a painful face, sighed silently, and followed them out.

Lin Xiuqing pulled the quilt directly to cover her head, determined in her heart that she wouldn't let him touch her until the middle of the night in the future.

One, two, three in the family, as long as they are at home, they keep calling Mother, Mother. If they don't see her for a while, they have to find her. The second and third are still young, a bit better. If Ye Chenghu bumps into it, it will be embarrassing.

Aguang was sitting at the table with his feet up playing with a lighter. Seeing Ye Yaodong come out, he asked: "Just back, Chairman Ye?"

"Isn't it, running back and forth, just arrived home, ate a meal, took a bath, hadn't even sat down in the room, and you came again."

"How was this trip? Why did I hear today that you were caught again?"

"Not me, I didn't, not including me."

"Then what's spreading is all true? Others were caught again? And redeemed out?"

"Don't know if it's redeemed out, just implicated, someone else is taking care of it."

Ye Yaodong briefly told him about it, because he rented his house to others as a workshop, and the workshop workers exceeded the number, so everyone was implicated and went in together.

"Then it's fine, this trip has a great harvest."

"So-so, at least didn't run in vain."

"How did you become Chairman Ye, prepare to set up a few tables?"

"Neurotic, if I set up a few tables, people would spread that I gave birth to a son outside."

"Hahaha..."

"I'll let Aqing make two dishes, drink some?"

"No need, didn't you just say Third Sister-in-law is sick? It's easy to get sick when changing seasons, don't toss. I just heard you were back, and today heard people spreading it with nose and eyes, so just came over to chat a few words. Didn't ask anything at Dad's last night, just didn't mention the matter of going in."

Ye Yaodong also smiled, "This isn't a glorious thing, Dad definitely doesn't want to say."

"Mm, I have nothing to do, just brought the children over to play, by the way see if you are back, going out tomorrow?"

"Should not go out tomorrow."

"Oh, then you go rest, anyway back, rest enough tomorrow and drink together."

"Good."

Sending people away, Ye Yaodong went back to the room.

Lin Xiuqing was already dressed neatly and sitting at the table tidying up the table.

He walked over and hugged her from behind, "Scared me, directly softened."

"See if you do this next time, don't lock the door, knowing that the children in the family are noisy."

"Isn't it because I saw them playing well outside, and I just finished taking a bath, coming in was originally to find clothes to change, and not really sperm to the brain, long ago had this idea."

"Then you went out for more than a month, really didn't think about this thing?"

"Two different things, how could I not think about it, no way outside, of course anxious when coming back, otherwise I don't know to wait until the children are asleep? Just finished taking a bath and came in, originally thinking about changing clothes, saw you and sperm to the brain."

"Humph... don't mess around, will run in again later, if you are tired go to sleep, I'll go out and take a look."

"Forget it, you lie down, you are sick, Aguang should still be watching the children outside."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Really."

"Forget it, lie down together, you are sick and I am tired, then lie down together."

"Lock the door."

"Forget it, locking it has a feeling of silver three hundred taels here, your daughter hasn't entered the room yet."

Ye Yaodong climbed onto the bed and pressed directly on her. This time, he was scared and didn't have that mind, but he could lie down and talk. He didn't have time to chat last night and fell asleep.

"Don't move your hands and feet."

"I'll just touch, don't do anything. Any fresh things in the village during this period?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't slap his hand away, so she let him be, and then told him about the things that happened in the village during this period. Only the matter mentioned at the meal last night was bigger, others were trivial things.

A village the size of a fart, where could there be big things happening continuously in a short time.

"Oh right, Aguang's sister Yingqiu has already agreed with Captain Chen. Captain Chen has already reported, just waiting for approval, should be soon, right?"

"So fast?"

"Both are old, Captain Chen has been in the army and hasn't had much contact with female comrades. Both have seen and chatted, feel it's okay, then definitely decided quickly. However, it hasn't been publicized yet. Her family has a memory, Yingqiu has already talked about marriage several times, every time it made a big scene, if it doesn't succeed this time, then it will really be talked to death."

"Mm, then there's no need to take it out to talk, and anyway, it's not the surrounding villages, wait until it's settled, then talk about it."

"Also, my second brother said he also learned to drive a tractor with the tractor driver in the village."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, but also felt it was quite good, "Quite good, learn it, buy a tractor by then, whether it's carrying guests to earn money, or driving to the foot of the mountain to pull fruits, it's convenient."

"Yes, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I also went home, and then my father and my second brother mentioned it. My brother went to find the one with a tractor in the village with two jin of pork the next day to learn to drive a tractor."

He thought for a while and said: "Wait until he asks someone to manage the mountains and land at home, or rent it out directly, buy a tractor to go to the city to pull goods. The opportunities in the city are always more than in the countryside. The demand for tractors in the city will also be greater. Just that piece of the market has a pile of tractors and trucks coming and going every day."

Drivers in these years are still very popular. Driving a tractor in the city is much better than farming at home.

Most of the family went to the city, leaving his second brother at home to watch the house. By then, the gap will be too big, and the heart will not be so comfortable.

"My father said so, although he also feels heartache for the land at home, but only said to let relatives manage it first."

"Mm, if you are afraid of being rusty and not driving well, you can also come over to our place to live for a few days to practice. The tractors on others' side are not casually given to practice, and oil money is a sum."

"Then I'll talk to him by then, don't know how he learned in this month or so, should know how to do it."

"This is simple, learn a few times, drive two trips and basically know how to do it, just a matter of proficiency."

Just as the couple was talking, the room door was knocked again.

Ye Yaodong was lying on the outside, Lin Xiuqing signaled him to get up and open the door, "I'm sick, you go."

"Fortunately didn't do anything, otherwise really would be scared to half-paralyzed."

She laughed hehe behind.

He opened the room door and saw it was the old lady, "What are you doing?"

"Heard Aqing is sick, should be blowing wind in the evening, now it's relatively cool in the morning and evening, entering autumn, the wind is not good, easy to catch a cold, I boiled a bowl of ginger tea, drink it and sweat, it will be fine tomorrow."

He felt guilty and took it, "It's nothing, she just said she had a headache, lie down for a night and reckon she will be fine tomorrow, what are you tossing about?"

"Small ailments can be dragged into big ailments. Drink a bowl of ginger tea now, and there will be nothing tomorrow. Otherwise, it might be more serious tomorrow, and it will be more troublesome to infect you and the children. The wind is not good recently, you also don't sleep with your bare shoulders, what if you catch a cold in the evening?"

Saying that, the old lady even reached out and touched his arm, "Look, it's all cold, I'll fill a bowl for you too, you two drink a bowl, don't take it as nothing."

Ye Yaodong could only sigh in his heart, watching her run to fill the ginger tea again.

"I put brown sugar, it's sweet, it will be delicious, don't be unwilling, or should I peel a few longan meat for you?" The old lady brought another bowl and smiled and coaxed him.

"No need, don't toss."

He held a bowl in each hand, went into the room and put them on the table.

"Get up, drink a bowl and you won't be sick tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing was also speechless, "Action is so fast, let you lie, look."

"Isn't it what you said? Just treat it as preventing a cold, idle her, just heard, immediately ran to boil ginger soup, drink a bowl each, don't waste it, also put brown sugar, by the way nourish blood for you."

The couple resignedly drank a bowl each, and Ye Yaodong put the bowl out again.

The old lady had already run out to call the children, and also wanted to call them to drink ginger soup.

The old voice of coaxing and deceiving came from outside into the room, but everyone was shouting no, and continued to play, no one cared about her.

Ye Yaodong frowned, and also walked out, watching the big and small ones running on the empty land at the door, in the middle was a kid jumping on one foot to catch people.

He shouted, "All give me back, didn't hear what was said."

"What's wrong? Dad."

Ye Yaodong patted Ye Chengyang's back of the head lightly, "Go in and drink a bowl of ginger soup each, didn't hear what was said, treated it as wind in the ear?"

"Immediately."

The three children were called by him, and they all ran into the house, and the old lady also happily walked back to the house slowly.

Ye Yaodong shook his head, and slandered in his heart, really idle.

Throwing the three little ancestors to the idle old ancestor, he went into the room again.

"You are happy, can lie down directly, no need to get up again, I still have to come back and forth."

"Who knows, I just said it casually, and it was really implemented. If you want to blame, blame you, so anxious. You look at it later, call everyone back to sleep when it's almost 9 o'clock, and check the doors and windows by the way."

Ye Yaodong climbed onto the bed and pressed directly on her, "This way everyone knows you are sick, no one will run in to disturb you."

Lin Xiuqing laughed directly.

He just drank a bowl of thick ginger soup, and felt a bit hot on his body. Just now the fright was also relieved, and at this moment, pressing on it, he was a bit restless again.

"Hot or not? I feel a bit hot, take off your clothes, anyway you are sick and don't need to go out, I'll call everyone back to sleep later."

She smiled and patted him, "Is the room door locked?"

"Locked."

The couple followed the routine and started the long-lost daily exercise.

However, the battle ended in two or three strokes, and Lin Xiuqing also believed that he didn't steal food during this period.

"Don't laugh."

"I didn't laugh."

"Your eyes and eyebrows are moving, and you say you didn't laugh."

"My mouth didn't laugh."

"Wait for me, wait until I recover, I just haven't done it for too long."

"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say, get up first, get off me if you are done, take it out."

Ye Yaodong was also depressed by her laughter, and couldn't help but laugh, "Damn it."

"Lie on the side, I know you are just afraid that someone will run over to knock on the door, quick battle quick decision." Lin Xiuqing smiled and teased him.

Ye Yaodong opened his palm, covered her face, and rubbed it back and forth.

Lin Xiuqing dodged while laughing, and kicked him hard before getting up.

"Go fetch a basin of water for me, I'm sick."

"Damn! You really ordered me."

"Hurry up, I'm sick."

"Grass!"

Ye Yaodong glared at her, and had to resign himself to climbing up, pulling up his pants to fetch water for her.

Lin Xiuqing didn't forget to remind him behind, "If the old lady sees it, you just say I have a headache and can't get up, fetch water for me to wash my feet."

"Then she will snatch it over, saying this is not something a big man like me should do, she will come."

"Uh... then you just say I drank ginger soup, sweated, uncomfortable, fetch water for me to wipe."

"Too many things!" ===== CHAPTER 1171 =====

"So much trouble!"
