Chapter 1319: Night Talk

If you have money, what are you afraid of? There are plenty of young girls willing to pay to be with you. In this day and age, are you still afraid of not being able to marry a wife?

It's not like in the future, where you need a house, a car, a bride price, and gold.

Some men have these and still can't necessarily marry, and it's easy to divorce after marrying, and then you have to divide the family property.

In this day and age, it's still more simple. As long as you are a little diligent and down-to-earth, you won't worry about marrying a wife.

It's not easy to divorce after marrying.

But let him arrange for Lin Guangyuan to get married? Where can he find one? That's not his son.

And there is no father finding a wife for his son, if there is, it's the mother who arranges it.

Ye Yaodong didn't continue this topic, but Lin's father was very worried, struggling with the fact that being a soldier would take several years.

He comforted: "A man wants to build a career, what is there to worry about. You'd better worry more about Dongxue. She is the same age as A'yuan, and she is already in the third year of high school. She will take the college entrance examination next year. This is the hope of your whole family."

Lin's father, who was originally sighing and frowning, immediately beamed with joy.

"This child is promising, it's a pity she's a girl."

"Ah, you can't say that. Boys and girls are the same. As long as they are promising, they can help the family. We don't discriminate, and it's not like the family doesn't have the conditions. You can't favor boys over girls. If the child is promising, you should encourage her more, and try to meet her requirements."

"Hehe, that's for sure, the second couple also loves the child."

"Nothing else, you go and get busy first. I'll take another look at the situation in the factory, and by the way, I'll understand it from others. After I understand it, I'll go talk to Wang Jianxin."

"Fine, I'll get busy first. You're not leaving tonight, right? Eat at home?"

"I'll stay in the city for one night, my godfather called for dinner, so you don't have to cook."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, feeling that he hadn't done anything, and it was almost four o'clock again.

He returned to the factory and found his aunt who had been working here for the past six months, as well as those workers like Huang Mei, to chat about the situation in the past six months.

It wasn't until after 5 o'clock that he went to Director Chen's place for dinner, and they chatted in detail about the situation in the past six months.

He didn't have any troublesome matters to entrust to others now, so he just chatted about family affairs and offered a few words of comfort.

By the way, he also learned that the city had actually received project funds for fishery breeding provided by the government in the past six months, and had also let the research institute provide strong technical support.

Director Chen chatted with him exceptionally happily, and he didn't drink less wine.

By the time he drank a bit too much, it was not convenient for him to go back, so he stayed for one night and returned to the factory the next day.

Actually, he had the heart to find Lin Jishang, but communication was not developed, so he could only wait for people to come to him. If he wanted to find the other party, it would be difficult.

Watching the workers in the factory filter in an orderly manner, and his aunt leading people to ferment, the canning machines were also working, and everything was in good order. He didn't need to worry about it, and there was already a set of processes in place. He felt very comforted in his heart, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

He stayed for half a morning, and after he finished talking to Wang Jianxin about the commission for running the business, he drove the boat home.

Everything in the city was settled, and he didn't need to run over again. He just needed to come again before the New Year to settle the accounts and pick up the workers.

It was night when he returned home. When he went to the city, there was a large group of people and a boatload of goods, but he came back alone.

But looking at the orange light at the entrance of the house in the distance, a smile appeared on his face. After going ashore, he quickened his pace and rushed home.

Passing by the workshop, he saw it was bustling with noise and excitement inside. He shouted, "Aqing!"

Lin Xiuqing was collecting goods and helping. Hearing him call her, she ran out hurriedly, "Why did you come back so late? I thought you wouldn't come back today. I'll go and cook something for you to eat."

"I came back after handling the affairs."

Ye Yaodong followed her and walked towards the house.

"It's good that things in the city are finished. You don't have to run outside anymore. When you come back, I see you don't even touch the ground."

"I haven't been home for more than half a year. I definitely have to understand everything when I come back."

Wait until tomorrow, he still has to walk around everywhere. He hasn't even been to the village committee, and he hasn't been to his father's friend Lin Jingye's place either. He still has to go to the Party School tomorrow morning. He thought about it casually, and felt that he still had to be busy for several days.

The scene he envisioned where he could lie flat when he got home simply didn't exist.

A bunch of children were still playing and jumping around near the entrance. In the cold weather, their cheeks and noses were red and cracked from the cold, but it didn't affect their excited mood at all.

Adults just came back, and every family's children had gifts more or less. It had been winter vacation for two days, and they could see a large group of children running outside with various toys every day.

Ye Yaodong saw a little person rushing towards him excitedly with a small doll, and he smiled and opened his arms, wanting to hug her.

Unexpectedly, the little girl's face changed the moment she rushed to him, and she didn't drill into his arms anymore.

"Big liar!"

She crossed her hands on her chest, turned her body to the side, glared at him with slanted eyes, and her face was full of anger.

"Still angry? Remember it for so long?"

"Big liar! Hmph!"

Ye Yaodong looked at her head full of colorful hairpins, which was exceptionally funny.

"Who clipped them for her? Why is her head full of hairpins?"

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Who else could it be? She clipped them herself. I put them away, but she found them and wanted to keep them herself. Then after I braided her hair today, she took a mirror and looked at it for a long time, and clipped her head full of hairpins."

Ye Yaodong flicked her forehead, "What does this look like? A crazy woman!"

"Beautiful! Sister said I am the most beautiful in the whole village!" She said while shaking her head, very proud.

"The most beautiful crazy woman!"

"Xiaoyu is the same, she was clipped with a head full of hairpins, and the two of them also praised each other for being the most beautiful in the whole village."

Ye Yaodong was amused to death. He pinched the two small dragonflies on her head with both hands, picked them up and played with them. Daughters are still fun, too cute, and so vain.

Ye Xiaoxi slapped his little cheap hand, "Don't move! Not allowed to touch."

After speaking, she ran away again and went to play with other children.

Ye Yaodong looked at her with a smile, "I feel like I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and this child has grown up again."

"Of course. It's been half a year. Such a small child grows fast. If you don't come back for another half a year, she probably won't remember you."

"That's impossible, I am her own father!"

"You didn't bring gifts back, look if you are still their own father."

"The two little rabbits don't need to be mentioned. They saw me, but they didn't say to come up and call, as if they didn't know me."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Those two boys were playing volleyball at this time, playing happily with other children, who would pay attention to him?

"Go home and wash your face, soak your feet, I'll cook something for you to eat, you rest early."

"Hmm, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"Let's talk inside."

Lin Xiuqing was a bit curious, "Are you still hiding something you didn't say?"

"No way, didn't I explain everything that should be explained? The biggest thing is the loan, I explained it all, what else could I be hiding from you? It's just that Hong Wenle came over to chat with me a few days ago."

Just as Ye Yaodong entered the house and sat down, the old lady came over to show concern, and their conversation was interrupted.

After he comforted the old man and let her go to the side to chant scriptures, he said to Lin Xiuqing again.

"Hong Wenle asked me if I had any intention to start a canned fish factory together."

"Ah? He is so rich, why does he still want to call you together? Why doesn't he call someone else? Will he be lying? You can't be impulsive and agree casually."

She was sitting in front of the stove, preparing to light the fire, and accidentally burned her hand with the lighter.

"I didn't agree, I'm just considering it. People are rich, but they will also think about having a few more people to share the risk. A canned fish factory is not something else, the investment is quite large, and if you are rich, one person can't handle it."

"What's more, it's not that he is rich, it's that his old man is rich. If you want to run a canned fish factory, you can't run it without spending hundreds of thousands. How can he resist the risk alone, and he looks too young himself."

Lin Xiuqing felt that it made some sense, "That's also true, then why doesn't he look for someone else and look for you? At most, you are ordinary friends."

"Said that most friends and brothers have their own work, those who have no work to do, or are helping their families, or can't take out money."

"This investment cost is large, he himself is thinking about taking out a loan, and it's not that everyone can easily take out a large sum of money. He also saw that I could afford that boat worth more than 100,000, so he thought about looking for me."

Hundreds of thousands is not tens, nor thousands. It's not a small amount in the hands of rich people, and it's not so easy to take it out just by saying so.

"Is it reliable? Looking at him, he is not married..."

"Why do you care if people are married or not? If you are not married, you can't do things? Who stipulated that you must be married to do business."

"Then not being married makes people feel too tender, and you don't have time to manage it. If this money is given out, it will all go to others, and I don't know if it's reliable..."

"So I didn't agree, just said I have to consider it, have to discuss it with you, and then when I'm free, I have to find him, listen to whether he has any plans, and understand it. I can't be confused. People say what they want, we all agree, and the money is given out."

"Right, what are you doing? We have to understand everything clearly, we can't be so impulsive. You still have to understand it with him first, and then we will discuss this matter."

"Hmm, today is just to give you a hint, let you know. Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, this matter must be discussed after the New Year."

The old lady hit a basin of hot water, brought it to him to wash his face and feet.

"No need for you to do these things, you sit down, I have hands and feet, I will do it myself."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can't sit still without doing something. Dongzi, you won't be going on a long journey again, right?"

"No, at most heavy bleeding, can't go on a long journey."

"Ah! Heavy bleeding?"

"You don't understand, don't interrupt, chant your scriptures."

"Toss less, earning money is so hard, so not easy, don't be cheated by others, you have to hold your own money tightly."

"I know."

Lin Xiuqing said: "You said this, making me feel uneasy, feeling like I'm going to spend a large sum of money again."

"Relax, I will definitely ponder carefully, and I will definitely not empty the family fortune. Even if I invest in something, I have to leave myself some leeway, right?"

"Why don't you buy a boat? I feel like your buying a boat is more reliable."

"There are already so many boats, and 5 haven't arrived yet. If I buy again, any one will cost more than 100,000. Don't think too much, if you think about how many deposits you have in your hand, you can definitely hold it, and there is a continuous stream of income."

"Fine, let's wait until you discuss it. Be careful, let's be careful, don't spend money randomly. Anyway, even if we don't do anything, we won't worry about the rest of our lives."

"Hmm."

"Aqing is right..."

The old lady started muttering endlessly again.

Ye Yaodong shut his mouth, didn't answer her words, washed his face by himself, and then changed to a basin to soak his feet.

After eating and entering the house, he was finally quiet.

He didn't know if the old lady chanted too many scriptures, or if she was old, or if he just came back and hadn't seen him for more than half a year. Now that she saw him free, she had endless words to say to him.

He was eating noodles, and she was muttering endlessly in her mouth.

Lin Xiuqing went out to get busy after finishing cooking for him.

Ye Yaodong was woken up by Ye Xiaoxi.

He returned to the room and lay down, smelling the fragrance of the quilt, feeling comfortable and warm, and fell asleep in a while.

The stinky girl drilled into the quilt, arching back and forth, leaking wind everywhere, and woke him up.

Lin Xiuqing's lowered voice was speaking there, "Don't drill around, your father is sleeping, keep the movement small."

"Shh, got it! He is a big liar, and a big lazy pig!"

Ye Yaodong had already woken up. He tucked the corner of the quilt again, grabbed her into his arms, and spoke with the anger of getting up.

"You are the pig, you belong to the pig, do you know?"

"Not at all, I belong to the crab, I want to belong to the crab, I don't want to count the pig, Pig Bajie is so ugly, I don't want to count the duck either, I am a crab, I am a crab, deng deng deng, deng deng deng..."

She excitedly lifted the quilt, made a pincer shape with both hands, placed them by her ears, and then walked back and forth sideways on the bed.

Lin Xiuqing scolded, "Lie into the quilt, you'll have to get an injection if you catch a cold."

"I'm not cold." Ye Xiaoxi responded stubbornly and continued to walk sideways on the bed.

"Then how can she sleep without taking off the head full of hairpins."

"You think I don't want to? She won't take them off, and just now she hid in the quilt."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Xiaoxi with a smile, "Do you think you are very beautiful?"

"Yes!"

"Give me two?"

She hesitated, "You are a boy."

"Boys can also wear them."

"Then only two." She hesitated and bent her fingers on her left hand, comparing a 2.

"I'll return them to you tomorrow, you clip them on for me?"

"Good, good."

She pounced over happily, sitting across his body, and Ye Yaodong let out a miserable scream.

"My meal is going to be vomited out."

"Father, I'll clip them for you, I'll clip them beautifully for you, you are also the most beautiful in the village."

"Give me a few more, I want to be as beautiful as you. Lend me all the ones on your head, my head is bigger than yours, just two doesn't look good, it looks good only when there are as many as yours."

"Good, good..."

Ye Xiaoxi was extremely happy. She could only dress up dolls usually, but now she could dress up her father, too good.

She willingly took off the hairpins on her head one by one, and then clipped them on Ye Yaodong's head one by one.

Lin Xiuqing watched and laughed, "What are you doing again?"

Ye Yaodong gave a look, letting her understand it herself.

Ye Xiaoxi laughed non-stop while clipping hairpins for him.

After all the hairpins were transferred to Ye Yaodong's head, she clapped her hands happily, "So beautiful, show sister tomorrow."

"Don't, right?"

"Want to show sister!"

"Sleep, turn off the light, lie down."

"Not allowed to take them off..."

"Got it."

After turning off the light, Ye Yaodong wanted to take off the hairpins on his head, but Ye Xiaoxi was lying in the middle, and one hand kept touching his head, so he could only wait for her to sleep.

Lin Xiuqing also knew his plan and said in a low voice: "Only you have a way."

"You are too stupid, there is no need to force her, make her cry, coax her well, let her contribute happily, isn't that fine?"

"I'll let you wear them in the future, you tie her to your belt, take her wherever you go."

"Wait until I'm busy, I'll take you to the city to stroll, buy some New Year's goods, buy whatever you want."

"Just came back, you've already bought enough things, no need to buy things anymore. When going to the market, just buy some food and drink for the New Year. The family lacks nothing now."

"Is the village very lively these two days?"

He hadn't been in the village for these two days either. He had been busy since he came back, either collecting goods or driving a boat, or going to the city, and hadn't walked around in the village.

"Of course it's lively. Every day someone brings back a TV, there are dozens more bicycles in the village, and there are more people introducing marriages. It's like Chinese New Year in advance."

"Everyone earned money."

"Yes, the village is full of joy these two days. I heard that there are more than a dozen pairs getting married before the New Year. Recently, more people from nearby villages have come to our village. I heard that they are all here to introduce partners. Huimei said that her threshold has been trampled."

"Introducing partners to Dongqing, right?"

"Right, those workers in our workshop are all eyeing her."

"Don't talk about the workshop, all the bachelors in the village are waiting for pie to fall from the sky."

"What you said is too ugly, and all the bachelors in the village..."

"I didn't say it wrong..."

After the children fell asleep, the couple kept chatting endlessly.

Ye Yaodong had been back for three nights, and the two hadn't had a good talk yet.

They didn't do less of what they should do, but they didn't say much of what they should say, all relying on physical action.

The first night he came back, he hurriedly did something and slept. The second night he drank too much again, and after doing it twice, he went to the city, and slept in the city last night.

It was only tonight that he slept enough in advance, and he was just sober, and his desire to chat was strong.

Lin Xiuqing also had a belly full of words to say, hadn't had a good talk for half a year, but didn't know what to say, so she could only pull family affairs from the big and small things in the village.

"Right, let me tell you, your friend Haozi, didn't he divorce? Later he went out to earn money with Awei, and his wife returned to his house to take care of the children."

"He came back a few months ago and wanted to drive people away, but couldn't drive them away. Later, the couple really lived as husband and wife for a few days."

"However, he only stayed for a few days and left again. Everyone thought the relationship between the couple had been repaired, and they continued to live their lives."

"And do you know what? On New Year's Day, he brought back a young woman. Oh my, you don't know how lively the village was for those few days. Everyone couldn't run fast enough, and even carried their rice bowls to their door to watch the fun while eating."

Ye Yaodong was energized when he heard it!

Such a big melon, such a big excitement, and he actually missed it?

"Then what? One man fighting two women, sleeping in the same bed, the three of them sleeping in one bed, sleeping together?"

Lin Xiuqing stretched out her hand and pinched him, "What are you saying? Still so excited, are you envious?"

"No, I just think he is too lively! Awesome, the ex-wife acts as a nanny for him, and he can sleep with her for free, and there are colorful flags fluttering outside, and he even brought them home with great fanfare. Really capable! Continue."

She added: "It really was like you said, the three of them slept together. Don't think crookedly, it's not necessarily that they did anything."

"I heard from neighbors that they were pinching each other in the middle of the night, and they were all arguing. They scolded so ugly in the middle of the night that everyone opened the windows to scold, and that family finally stopped."

"For those few days, his house was like singing a big play, one man and two women, lived for a few days, and it was jumping around every day."

"Everyone is guessing who the young woman he brought back is. She didn't get married and went to a man's house to stay overnight. They said she must not be a decent person either."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "Didn't the Wang family come to make trouble?"

"Yes, but there is no reason. They are divorced. Men marry and women marry, and it has nothing to do with each other. It's none of their business if he wants to bring which woman home. If she wants to leave, she should leave. There is no reason for her to stay at her ex-husband's house after divorce?"

"They made trouble for several days, and the village committee was too lazy to pay attention to their broken things, letting them solve it themselves, or letting the Wang family take their divorced daughter back."

"Later, the Wang family didn't care either, just let the three of them sleep together, and they slept for several days, and then they didn't argue so fiercely later, hehe..."

He wanted to give a thumbs up. He didn't expect that after divorce, he could still play so cool.

"Awesome, is this recognized? Double fly success."

"Anyway, stayed for a few days, Haozi led that young woman away again, and his ex-wife continued to stay at his house."

"It seems that he earned a lot of money, otherwise why would a young woman be with him? They didn't even get married, and she followed him home to sleep, and the three of them slept together."

"I heard his mother bragging everywhere, it seems he earned a lot of money, and his mother was very proud, saying he was capable, and the woman outside was determined to be with him."

"Really awesome! Really wonderful, it's a pity I wasn't at home and missed it."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "Wait, maybe she will be brought back in a while. It's almost Chinese New Year, and they have earned a lot of money, how can they not return to the village gloriously?"

"That's true, it seems that the village will be very lively next, marriages, and big plays."

"Sleep early."

"Sleep what, it's still early. Tell me about A'guang's stepmother, you don't know how disgusting old Pei is."

Ye Yaodong didn't tell Aqing about old Pei the day before yesterday, just said some important things, and went to get busy. It just so happened to talk about it now.

He didn't call him Uncle Pei anymore, but directly called him old Pei.

Lin Xiuqing was also angry when she heard it, "How can this be, this is too greedy."

"So I think he gave birth to a son, thinking that he is old recently, and wants to leave more for his youngest son."

She added: "I heard Huimei say that Aunt Ma has been hiding at home since she was pregnant, and hasn't even stepped out of the door. If she did, she returned to her own home in the middle of the night. Anything else was arranged by Huimei."

"Huimei herself was busy with three children, and later she went back to her own home to stay, so she didn't care about her. She just cooked a little more food, let her daughter serve her, and her daughter also served her during the confinement."

"Huimei said she wanted to separate the family and live alone. Now the whole family is too complicated, but except for A'guang, a large group of people in the family are unmarried."

Ye Yaodong said: "Then that probably has to wait until Dongqing gets married, then they can talk about separating the family and living alone, and then let old Pei and Aunt Ma live together."

"Mother also said so, so mother has also been actively helping to inquire recently. After all, Dongqing is also working for us, and mother also likes her very much."

"I just said, yesterday... no, it was the day before yesterday, when I was on the boat, I wanted to match them when I saw Hong Wenle."

"That can't be climbed, people are from a big family and have culture."

"Hmm, if the family is really separated, let's see if the Harvest will be divided to A'guang. If it is divided to A'guang, I will give the 30% share of the Harvest to Huimei. You have no opinion, right?"

"Why?"

"Because everything that should be earned has been earned back, so that 30% share will be the starting capital I give to my sister as a brother."

Lin Xiuqing thought about it, "That's fine, you can see for yourself, it can also save some trouble."

"Hmm, my wife is still sensible and generous."

"Stop it, it's also because our family is rich now, otherwise how can we be so generous? Originally, when we bought shares, it was also reasonable, not taking advantage of the situation, and we were invited by others. That 30% share is also ours, how can we give it to them just because old Pei is unhappy now?"

"But giving it to them as a starting capital is another matter, and it is also giving it to Huimei, which is also the confidence to support her."

"After all, their family is chaotic now, it's good to separate."

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand and touched her hair, "That still has to praise my wife. If it were someone else's wife, she would have to hold every cent in her hand. How can she be so generous to give it away? That is also a continuous stream of income."

"If you say that again, I'll regret it."

"No need to regret, our family has money. When I earn more for you, it will all be yours."

"Stop it, it's ours! That's what you earned hard, how can it all be mine? It's our family's."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong reached out and stroked her hair. "Then I still have to praise my wife. If it were any other man's wife, she would hold every cent tightly in her hand. How could she be so generous as to give it away? That is also a source of continuous income."

"If you say that again, I'm going to regret it."

"No need to regret. Our family has money. Wait until I earn more for you; it will all be yours."

"Don't start with that. It's ours! That's what you earned through hard work; how could it all be mine? It's our family's."

"Good girl."
