Chapter 1324: Days with flavor

When Ye Yaodong arrived at Xiao Xiao's house, two tables of dishes had already been set, and most people had arrived, except for a few empty seats.

Anyway, it was just a home-cooked meal, no need to be so particular about waiting for everyone to be present. He sat with a few friends, chatting and eating.

At this time, there were too many people, not suitable for talking about sensitive topics, so everyone just joked and laughed.

Fatty wasn't there for the temporary meal yesterday, but he came specially today. In the chat, he said he hadn't earned less money this year. His belly, which had originally slimmed down, had returned, and he was even more pot-bellied. One look and you knew he had plenty of oil and water this year.

Ye Yaodong happened to be sitting next to him, patted his belly like a brother, "Look at this belly full of oil and water, you have to thank me."

"Right, thank your ancestors for eight generations, for letting me earn money."

"Be more sincere."

Ye Yaodong had a cigarette between his fingers and gestured to him.

"No problem!"

Fatty, like a lackey, happily took out a lighter and lit his cigarette, "I can light cigarettes for our Brother Dong for a lifetime."

"Oh, how could I be embarrassed? Next year it should be my turn to light cigarettes for Boss Fatty."

"How could I let our Brother Dong light cigarettes."

"Stop bragging, both of you, it's my turn to light cigarettes for you two."

Fatty laughed, "Stop it, all of you have started big boats, you'll earn more next year. By then, don't talk about lighting cigarettes, I'll have to change to carrying bags for you."

"You're talking about Dongzi! We are only worthy of carrying bags for Dongzi now."

"Stop bragging, let me earn back the 200,000 loan from the bank first."

"Isn't this a matter of minutes for you?"

Fatty said, "Dongzi, I really admire you more and more, your courage is really big. I haven't earned 200,000 in a year, and you dare to loan 200,000."

"Look, you've exposed yourself! You said you haven't earned 200,000, not that you haven't earned 20,000. It seems you're at least a ten-thousand-yuan household, a ten-something-thousand-yuan household."

"No, no... haha, I have three brothers, the three of us split it."

"Oh, it seems I guessed right. Split by three brothers, then you're taking the big share. You're really fat and leaking oil now. Look at how you chased and killed me at the time, blaming me for making you thin, now you've eaten big meat."

"Ah, drink, drink..."

Fatty laughed and played dumb, hurriedly pouring him wine to block Ye Yaodong's mouth.

The atmosphere at the dining table was fiery.

Everyone earned money this year, emotions were high, everyone was lifting the sedan chair, and everyone was happy.

A meal was eaten from just after dark until the dead of night, and only their house remained extremely lively.

However, most people dispersed one after another after finishing the meal and drinking enough wine, and only the few of them held on to the end.

Ye Yaodong restrained himself today. He drank too much yesterday, and felt terrible when he woke up the next day, taking a long time to recover.

Originally, the rice wine they brewed themselves had a high alcohol content, and yesterday everyone drank it like they didn't want their lives, not returning until drunk.

Today everyone took it easy, basically chatting as the main thing, and also chatting about Fatty as the main thing. After all, they had already chatted yesterday, and Fatty wasn't there yesterday, so the topic of the evening was basically all about Fatty.

After talking, it was almost time, and he told them about Hong Wenle's loan.

As for whether they had the ability to loan, and how much they could loan, he didn't know, they had to ask themselves.

"Only one or two ten thousand?"

"One or two ten thousand is fine, enough to buy a boat."

"Right, at least you can loan a ten-thousand-yuan household out, not bad, better than nothing."

"One or two ten thousand is a lot. You think everyone is Dongzi, loaning 200,000 so calmly? I would be panicked."

"That's right, one or two ten thousand is not bad, and you don't have to pay out of your own pocket. Go to Zhoushan once, and you can earn it back in less than a year, it's worth it."

Ye Yaodong saw them discussing so optimistically, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water.

"Don't think so well. The risk of going to sea is high, you know that, refer to when we were in Wenzhou this year. Take everything easy, think more before deciding, money is not that easy to earn."

A-Guang said, "There is risk, we know that, but isn't it thinking about ordering a big boat, and then several boats will go in and out together, at least there will be support, at least safer than before?"

A-Zheng also smiled and said, "We are not panicked about one or two ten thousand."

Xiao Xiao said, "The main thing is that we can afford it. If we can't afford it, then we will panic, and we won't dare."

"Then as long as you have thought it through, go ask yourself when the time comes, I won't say much."

Do your own things and make your own decisions.

"If we had known a day earlier, we might have been able to go to the city to ask earlier. Now we have to run again."

"Maybe it's not a matter of running once, but running many times. It's a good thing we are very free now, there is still more than half a month before the New Year."

Ye Yaodong said, "Then you guys toss and turn slowly."

"We will discuss it again tomorrow, see when to run, it just so happens that the new boat is back and our hands are itchy. It's uncomfortable just looking at it, we can drive the boat directly to the city."

"Drink wine at night, you definitely won't be able to get up tomorrow, you guys discuss it tomorrow."

"Come, come... drink, drink... bless us to make a big fortune next year."

"Peace and fortune..."

It was agreed to take it easy at night, but when drinking to the end, where could they take it easy.

Ye Yaodong went home drunk and was scolded again.

He smiled and shamelessly hugged Lin Xiuqing and kissed her wildly, making her unable to argue with a drunkard.

She still took good care of him, helped him wash clean, put him on the bed, and let him sleep peacefully.

When he woke up the next day, he was nagged again.

Ye Yaodong let it go in one ear and out the other.

He had long been used to being nagged for so many years, an old lady, his mother, neither nagged less.

Now it's just one more person nagging, anyway his mother doesn't live together anymore, the nagging is less, changing to his wife nagging, no difference.

"Ahai ran over to find you at dawn, squatting at the doorway until just now when he went to work, now it's Ajiang squatting at the doorway."

"The two little brats are so active."

"You promised to teach them to ride a motorcycle, aren't they active? If they had this enthusiasm for reading, couldn't they get into college?"

"Forget it, get up, get up, don't lie down."

"You're also free and panicked, looking for things to do for yourself, and teaching them to ride a motorcycle."

"Just sitting around is just sitting around, teaching them is nothing, which teenager is not interested in motorcycles, once they learn, they will be the coolest guys in the village!"

He is also a person who has come over, no man doesn't like motorcycles, especially at the age of a teenager, it is the age of loving to show off.

If he was 16 or 17, and someone took him to play like this, he would be happy to go to heaven, and his uninhibited youth would be complete, which is also the most beautiful memory of a lifetime.

"No need to learn, they are already the most famous children's kings in the village. What new toys, what balls haven't they had in the past two years? All the children in the village run around them, and what they say is more useful than what those children's parents say."

"Definitely, if I had a soccer ball when I was a child, the children in the nearby villages would have to listen to my orders."

"If you had a soccer ball when you were a child, the girls in the nearby villages would have to flock to you, not to mention riding a motorcycle, you could have married 10 wives home, how could it be my turn."

"Aha!"

Ye Chenghe, that dog cub, wait and see how he cleans him up in a bit.

"Are you kidding, my vision is very high, is it anyone who can be my wife? I am so handsome, I must choose a good one, of course, the wife must be chosen from thousands, how can I make do, just find one casually?"

"Humph..." Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him and walked out.

Ye Yaodong waited until he was dressed and hummed a song as he walked out.

Ye Chengjiang was sitting on his doorstep, and as soon as he saw him get up, he was active in serving him, squeezing toothpaste for him, serving hot water, and wringing a towel.

"Third Uncle, do you want me to spray some mousse for you and comb a hairstyle?"

Ye Yaodong looked down at his big back head and was a bit silent.

He wanted to say it the first time he saw it, who let him be too much of a lackey.

"Haven't learned to ride a motorcycle yet, and you're so coquettish? Once you learn, is it still okay? Won't the girls in the ten miles and eight villages be picked up by you?"

"That can't be, leave a few for the brothers at home!"

"Damn! How come I didn't find out you were this kind of person? Ahai still knows how to blush, how come your skin is so thick?"

"Hehe, I'm going to learn to ride a motorcycle, I must dress handsomely, there will definitely be many people watching me in a bit."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "You can do it, you've already released the news in advance, waiting for the whole village to watch you, right?"

"Chenghe said it, not me, he has already spread it all over the village and nearby villages, saying you want to teach him to ride a motorcycle."

"Let him wait for me!"

"Hehe, Third Uncle, eat..."

Ye Chengjiang served him the porridge and placed it in front of him, and pulled a pair of chopsticks and handed them to him, serving him extremely thoughtfully, just short of feeding the rice into his mouth.

"Go and wipe the motorcycle for me."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "No need for you to say, he and Ahai ran over at dawn and have already wiped the motorcycle inside and out until it was shiny. It was all gray when it was ridden back from town yesterday, and today it's like new."

"Not bad! Very good eyesight!"

"Even the vegetables at the front and back doors, they have watered them, fed the chickens and ducks, the old lady was amazed, and kept asking them why they were so diligent this morning? They didn't even lift the broom at home when it fell, why did they run here to work."

"Keep it up."

"Understood, Third Uncle, these jobs will be handed over to me and Ahai in the future."

"Very good, go out and wait."

Ye Chengjiang ran out obediently, then jumped and punched, and you could tell he was very excited just by looking at his back.

The old lady said, "It's good to have things to do, so you don't have to run out all day and not see anyone."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously, "Are you talking about me or him?"

"Talking about you! A child like Ajiang doesn't run out, what is he squatting at home for?"

"I'm doing serious business, I'm just free today, it just so happens they want to learn to ride a motorcycle, so I'll teach them."

It just so happened that he finished eating, he stood up after saying it, let Lin Xiuqing wash the bowls and chopsticks, and walked out himself.

Good guy, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw a big bunch of children at the door, at least thirty or forty!

Ye Yaodong looked speechlessly at the proud Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe.

Ye Chenghe still came up without eyes, and asked flatteringly, "Third Uncle, shall we go push the motorcycle now? I'll help you."

"Get lost, I didn't say I would teach you."

He widened his eyes, "What! Ah?"

Ye Chengjiang pushed him aside, "Third Uncle, I'll help you push the motorcycle out."

"No, I won't teach today, you guys go play by yourselves."

"Ah? Why?"

Ye Chengjiang had a look of astonishment.

Ye Chenghe was originally depressed, but became gloating again.

"Such a big bunch of children, what are you doing? Watching monkeys? The car doesn't have eyes, what if you bump into it in a bit? Go play by yourselves, when there are no people, I will teach you."

Ye Chengjiang glared angrily at Ye Chenghe, "It's all your fault! You big loudspeaker!"

He hooked Ye Chenghe's neck with one hand and dragged him to the side.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? If you dare to hit me, I'll tell my brother..."

"Tell your brother, he will beat you with me."

"Third Uncle, Third Uncle... save me, Ajiang is going to hit me..."

Ye Yaodong put his hands in his pockets and walked away, planning to go to the workshop for a stroll first. Such a big bunch of children are concentrated here, what is it like?

Ye Father was originally watching people play cards, and asked him curiously, "What is this? Did you make them fight again?"

"No, don't worry about them, did you call the workers yesterday?"

"All said, wait for your notice after the New Year to go to work. I also went to your Uncle Jingye's place, and asked about the friend who changed boats a few years ago, let him tell me in a few days if his friend comes back, and lead us to someone's house to sit."

"Good, definitely back before the New Year."

Just say a word about this matter, they are all acquaintances, and it will be a companion when going to sea together, and they will definitely be willing.

"Third Brother!"

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look, Ye Huimei and A-Guang brought three children over.

"Eh, the twins are here? Why do they look, like they look different?"

Ye Huimei smiled and said, "Haven't seen them for more than half a year, aren't they different? Such small children, haven't seen them for a few months, definitely changed a lot, you've been back for a few days, how are you as an uncle."

A few days ago, he treated guests to dinner, Ye Huimei didn't bring the twins, they were too small, couldn't eat a few mouthfuls, and were annoying, she couldn't take care of them, and had to have several adults to look after them, so she only brought one Pei Yu.

So Ye Yaodong has been back for so many days, and hasn't seen the twins yet.

Mainly because he didn't have time to go to A-Guang's house to visit, they didn't separate the family, he didn't really want to go, that family is no longer as pure as before.

"Ah, my fault, too busy, running around all day, only free today, otherwise you wouldn't see me."

He opened his hands and wanted to hug, this one didn't know if it was left or right, turned its head away, and didn't pay attention to him at all.

"So not giving face? Then forget it, I'll hug the sister."

Pei Yu pulled Ye Huimei's hem with one hand, didn't pay attention to him either, and hid directly behind.

"Ah damn, one by one so not giving face, come over, I'm your little uncle, you've lived in my house for more than half a year, and still hide from me?"

Pei Yu ran away directly to the side, didn't pay attention to him at all.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu..."

Ye Xiaoxi heard someone calling her, and ran out from the pile of children, and ran towards her.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..."

Ye Yaodong watched the two little brats running towards each other, don't know why, suddenly a picture of White Snake and Xu Xian meeting on the Broken Bridge, running appeared in his mind...

He felt a chill.

Ye Huimei was still explaining, "Haven't seen you for more than half a year, forgot a bit? It will be fine after a few days of familiarity."

"Can these two little ones walk?"

"Yes, a week and a half, could walk long ago, just this gravel road outside is not very steady, always falling."

The couple had already put the two children on the ground and let them play by themselves.

Ye Yaodong looked at the twins who were so small, dressed exactly the same, walking swaying, and still a bit rare.

If it weren't for Lin Xiuqing's ligation, he would want to have another one.

The children in the family are big, not cute anymore, still so small looking cute, two small millet teeth below, open mouth and reveal, speaking vaguely, how to look how to rare.

When he couldn't help but hug, he cried loudly again.

This made Ye Father feel distressed, "Don't scare him, he is not familiar with you."

"Good, good, good, don't move them."

A-Guang smiled: "Put them here to play, I'll go find A-Zheng and Xiao Xiao."

"Talk about the loan?"

"Yes, do you want to go together?"

"I won't go, running out all the time, it's rare to be free today, I'll just sunbathe at home, anyway I don't intend to do loans again, so I won't mix in."

"Okay, you don't look at that little money."

"Nonsense, just already loaned, so don't repeat."

"Hmm."

A-Guang told Ye Huimei to look after the children, and then left.

As soon as he left, Ye Father pulled Ye Yaodong and asked about the loan.

Ye Yaodong explained to his father.

Ye Huimei also whispered: "We want to separate the family, can loan a little money to prepare, ordering a boat in advance is also good. Don't know when to separate, how much to separate, will there be a boat to separate, we don't care, prepare ourselves in advance."

"Did you separate money this year?" Ye Yaodong asked curiously.

"Yes, the second day home calculated this year's account, separated half to us. A-Guang earned it himself, we collect it separately, don't need to take it out to calculate the account."

"That's very good."

"It's very good, anyway, after marriage, every end of the year will calculate an account, separate half to us."

Ye Yaodong didn't tell her that he wanted to give the three shares of the Harvest to her, anyway, wait until the family is separated, now saying this is too early.

He looked at the twins who were swaying on the ground, looking everywhere, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Still children are cute, white and tender, wearing small cotton-padded jackets like fat mounds.

The adults around also looked at the twins rarely, just born like coal balls, suddenly white.

Some also squatted down to tease, the twins didn't give face, didn't rare to wave small hands, like driving flies.

"Third Uncle... Third Uncle, I drove them all away."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengjiang who ran over, and looked around, indeed there were many fewer children, at least missing half.

"Let Ye Chenghe take those people away?"

"Yes, otherwise I would beat him."

"Go push the motorcycle."

"Okay!"

He rushed to the courtyard gate excitedly, and Ye Yaodong followed behind.

Ye Father knew he wanted to teach Ye Chengjiang to ride a motorcycle, and whispered, "Too full!"

"Dad, you come to teach him, anyway you can."

Ye Father's face was immediately filled with smiles, "Okay, I'll teach, anyway just sitting around."

Ye Yaodong took the curious Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu one by one, and took them to the side.

"You watch, don't come up, I'll teach you when you're big."

"Okay, I want to drive the car too! Xiao Yu also drive the car!"

Ye Xiaoxi happily hugged his thigh, "Dad, buy me a car."

Pei Yu looked at her action of hugging the thigh, hesitated for a moment, and learned her action, hugging Ye Yaodong's other thigh.

"Buy a car!"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Now hugging the thigh is a bit early.

"How do you want me to walk like this?"

"Want like this, want to hug the thigh!"

"Who taught you, I said why do you like to hug my thigh so much."

"Brother said."

"Which brother?"

Ye Xiaoxi pointed to the family gates of the three brothers, "This brother, that brother, and the brother at home."

"These few brats can really talk."

The children hugged his legs one by one, he couldn't move, so he had to stand in place, watching Ye Father teach Ye Chengjiang to ride a motorcycle.

No curve, his father is more than enough.

The surrounding children were attracted again in a while, envious, but didn't dare to approach, could only stand in place and marvel.

"Ajiang, too cool!"

"Your brother is too handsome..."

"Too powerful, your family has a motorcycle really too powerful, I also want to learn..."

"No, think beautifully!"

"What's so great, I'll ask Dad to buy."

"You go, you go, bragging..."

"I also want to ask Dad to buy, I ask him to buy a TV, he buys a TV, I ask him to buy a motorcycle, he definitely buys a motorcycle..."

"Beat your butt to bloom!"

Ye Yaodong laughed and listened to the surrounding children talking, sure enough, children are the purest, still home is comfortable, lively, all popularity.

These days have flavor.

Every day move a stool and sit at the door, heart feels relaxed.

Going to sea to work all day, just thinking about earning money, although looking at the harvest, will feel happy, but how can home days be comfortable and hopeful.

"Little Uncle."

Ye Yaodong looked down, Pei Yu stretched out her hand, holding a peeled White Rabbit milk candy in her hand.

"For me?"

She nodded.

Ye Yaodong bent down and contained it, touched her head "Good."

He touched his pocket again, took out 5 cents for each of the two children, "Wait a while to buy candy to eat."

"Buy firecrackers!" Ye Xiaoxi happily put the money in her pocket.

"Can't buy firecrackers, want to buy candy."

"Buy firecrackers!"

"Not good, look at Xiao Yu how good."

Pei Yu said in a milky voice: "Bomb cow dung!"

"Go!"

Ye Xiaoxi pulled Pei Yu, the two little girls ran into the village.

"Hey hey hey..."

Ye Yaodong looked at their backs, sighed, he took back what he just said.

None is good.

Lin Xiuqing saw the two run, asked, "What are they doing?"

"Buying firecrackers, said they want to bomb cow dung."

"Ah? You don't stop it."

"Can stop for a while, can I always follow behind to stop?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, went to chase the two children, caught them back, emptied the pockets first, the money in Pei Yu's pocket was given to Ye Huimei.

But no use, Ye Xiaoxi has a piggy bank, still has money.

Both stood honestly in place to let Lin Xiuqing scold, after scolding, they secretly slipped home to get money.

Then took advantage of the adults not paying attention, and happily went to buy firecrackers together again.

Later, when it was almost mealtime, they came back covered in cow dung, and were dragged home to be beaten severely.

Ye Xiaoxi stood in the courtyard covered in cow dung, crying loudly and being beaten.

Lin Xiuqing told her not to move, not to hide, she stood there honestly without moving, only crying loudly, eyes turning everywhere, wanting to find a savior.

Ye Yaodong was still saying sarcastic remarks, "I said, can't stop it."

"You still say, if you didn't give them money, could they think of going to buy firecrackers to bomb cow dung?"

"Isn't this a tradition?"

Ye Xiaoxi with a crying voice, mouth still flattened and echoed, "Tradition!"

"Stretch out your hand."

She stretched out her hand hesitantly, raised it high, and shrunk it back, shrunk back several times, before spreading her palm.

But eyes kept blinking, already betrayed how scared she was.

Lin Xiuqing bamboo shoot fried meat, hit on the palm, she cried even louder.

Ye Chenghu dragged his cheek and watched, "Stupid, don't know how to run, told you to stand, you stand!"

She instantly had a flash of inspiration, hurriedly ran to him with grievances, "Brother..."

"Ah, don't come over... don't come over..."

Ye Chenghu panicked, hurriedly stood up to run, avoiding her cow dung all over.

But he could hide from Ye Xiaoxi, couldn't hide from Lin Xiuqing, and was beaten several times for nothing.

"Ah, why hit me..."

"Don't teach good things, teach bad things, it was you who started it, don't hit you hit who?"

Ye Chenghu ran around the courtyard, simply didn't dare to stop, one is his sister, one is his mother, one is full of cow dung, one is holding a whip in his hand.

He couldn't help but hit his own mouth, let him be cheap, just squatting there watching the fun, isn't it good?

The old lady said, "Okay, okay, don't hit, hurry up and wash for the child, take advantage of the big sun at noon, give her a bath, eat, don't starve."

"Cow dung is full, starve what?" Ye Chenghu ran out. Shouted.

"Then you go eat cow dung at noon, don't eat rice, don't come back."

"I'll go to Eldest Uncle's house to eat."

"Born just to anger me..."

Ye Chengyang called flatteringly: "Mom, I'll hit hot water for you."

"Rarely gave birth to a decent one." Ye Yaodong sighed.

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him.

"Why roll eyes at me? You gave birth, you raised."

"Make it like it has nothing to do with you."

The old lady said, "Give birth to a few more, there is always a decent one."

"No wonder the poorer the more birth, the more birth the poorer."

The old lady hit him, "Nonsense, that is prosperous."

"You say, when you are old, is money good, or people good?"

"That of course is people, prosperous, have blessings, want so much money to do? Plant a little, eating and drinking is not worried."

"Then I want both."

The old lady laughed, "Right, want both." ===== CHAPTER 1325 =====
