Chapter 1497

The cargo ship is scheduled to depart on the 24th and is expected to arrive around the 1st.

In this day and age, the risk factor at sea is high. Going on a long trip isn't something you can just do on any day; you have to check the almanac in advance and then tentatively set a day.

When the date gets closer, you still have to look at the weather and wind direction before you can depart. There are often temporary changes, and the fluctuations are huge.

Before departing, you have to worship Mazu and burn incense.

Ye's mother and the others also worshipped before boarding the ship.

Except for the few men, the women were extremely curious, but after sitting on the boat for a few days, all the adults and children were wilted.

Ye Yaodong calculated the time and sent someone to wait at the pier in advance.

Seeing the cargo ship's logo of Lin Ji, the younger brother immediately came to notify him.

When he picked them up, the women all looked pale and had floating steps.

Ye Xiaoxi was also wilted and listless, her hair as messy as a chicken coop. When she was led off the boat, she hadn't even stood steady before sitting on the ground.

But when she saw Ye Yaodong, her eyes immediately burst with brilliance, and she shouted loudly and clearly.

"Dad!"

Ye Yaodong picked her up, "Are you tired?"

"So tired, the boat kept shaking and shaking, and it kept shaking even when I slept, the food wasn't good, and it was so cold on the boat, I never want to take a boat again."

"You have to take a boat to go to the Magic City to live in a villa, so don't go then."

"Ah..."

Ye Xiaoxi wailed, her shoulders slumping.

During those few days at home, she listened to Ye's mother talk about the villa every day. Now in her heart, living in a villa had long since ranked first.

"Hey, Dongzi, isn't it too lively here? There are so many boats and so many people, like rice." Ye's mother was in high spirits, looking at the environment around the pier with full wonder.

"It's not that many right now. After dark, that's when it's really many. Now during the day, the fishing boats have all gone out to sea, and the people are all at sea."

"Right, right, right, from evening to night, when the fishing boats all come back, that's when there are the most people."

"You've been on the boat for so long, you must be exhausted. Take the tractor back to rest first. Once you've rested enough, there's plenty of time to wander around."

Ye Yaodong led them to the tractor parking spot, where Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe were waiting there.

"Where is your dad?"

"He took the boat out to collect goods, and I'm here to pick you up."

"Then collecting goods is important."

Ye's mother let the others get in the car first, while she walked around the tractor.

"It seems your dad doesn't drive the tractor out to earn money every day?"

"How could that be? He has to take the boat out to help collect goods, and I have to drive the tractor to deliver goods at night. He can only earn extra money when he's free."

"Oh, so A-Jiang and Chenghe earn more?"

The two hurriedly shook their heads to deny it, "No, we two share one vehicle, how could we earn more than Grandpa?"

"Exactly, we often follow Third Uncle around, and Grandpa earns all the money."

"It just so happens I'm going back in a few days, so I'll bring it back for you, no need to wait until New Year."

The two looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound.

After Ye Xiaoxi recovered for a while, she was fully revived after getting on the tractor. She jumped and hopped on the vehicle, looking at the people around her with curiosity, chattering with Xiao Yu and the twins.

"What language are they speaking? Why is it different from what we say?"

"Why are there only men here... Is this a men's country?"

"There's a grandma over there..."

"So many cars, so many big cars..."

"Wow, big cars..."

Where there are children, it's lively. The whole vehicle was filled with the voices of 4 children.

When the tractor drove to Ye Yaodong's base, the wives' club's mouths were wide enough to swallow a ping-pong ball.

"Here? Is this too big? So many houses?"

"My god, how many rooms must this be?"

"There must be dozens. Building one back home costs two thousand yuan. How much money did A-Dong spend here?"

Ye's mother also slapped her thigh, "My goodness, are all the houses in this area yours?"

"Mm, come in. There are still a few empty rooms, just right for you to stay in. Just move your men's bedding over and spread the quilts."

"Oh my god, if this gets out, wouldn't it be seventy or eighty houses?"

Ye Yaodong: "!!!"

Ye's mother looked up with joy and wonder, looking from one end to the other, then from the other end back to the beginning, and then stood in front of the three-story building.

"90 rooms, actually a full 90 rooms!" Ye's mother shouted until her voice almost cracked.

Then she rushed over and slapped him, "You spendthrift child, you actually built 90 rooms without saying a word. How much money is this?"

"You living ancestor, since you quietly did so many houses, I wouldn't even know if I hadn't come over. That dead man, your father, didn't even tell me."

Ye's mother scolded and hit him, but her eyes were full of joy, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

Ye Yaodong thought to himself that building so many houses only cost a little more than that villa, but he didn't dare to say it. If he said it, his mother would be heartbroken, and then she would nag endlessly.

"Third Brother, you're too amazing, right? I didn't know until I saw it, and I was shocked when I saw it. You didn't waste your time coming out, did you?" Huimei was also overjoyed.

"Pfft, this is nothing. Your brother still has several plots of land. Once houses are built on all of them, I can collect rent."

"Yeah, you can collect a lot of money in rent a year. Third Brother, you really can earn."

The others also dispersed to look around, sighing in wonder, and their respective men accompanied them, introducing the rooms to them.

The 4 children had long since run wild happily. Although there were many houses built here, they were all stacked in two or three stories, and there was plenty of open space in the middle and behind the houses, enough for them to run wild.

Old Pei was also chasing after his grandson, calling out to slow down, looking extremely happy.

Ye Yaodong let them wander around first, asked the cafeteria to prepare some food, and by the way, called home to report safety.

The men took their luggage back to the rooms first.

After finishing, he went to find the children, but they had already climbed to the third floor to play, specifically choosing the high places to climb.

After eating, everyone took advantage of the fact that no one was using the bathhouse during the day to quickly go wash up and tidy themselves.

Ye's mother washed Ye Xiaoxi clean and put her in front of him, asking him to dry the child's hair, taking advantage of the good sun at noon so it would dry quickly.

Ye Xiaoxi lay obediently on his lap.

After sitting on the boat for several days and running around wildly just now, she was now full and clean, and Ye Xiaoxi was also a bit exhausted and sleepy, speaking weakly.

"Dad, when are Mom, Grandma, and Big Brother coming?"

"Soon, you play here first."

"I want to go home..."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"I want Mom, I want Grandma, I want Big Brother, I want the doggy..."

She muttered, her voice getting weaker and weaker until it was barely audible.

Ye Yaodong saw that she fell asleep after saying a few words, so he hurriedly held her on his lap and patted her, and carried her upstairs after she fell into a deep sleep.

When she wakes up, he must take her out to play immediately, lest she nag about going back. What would he do then?

Fortunately, he brought Pei Yu along, and there were other children to play with, so she wouldn't be lonely or bored, otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to trick her.

Worried that she would be afraid in a strange place, he also lay down to sleep with her, planning to hand over the night delivery work to his father to arrange.

He pondered wandering around here tomorrow as a rest, and the day after tomorrow he would go to the Magic City to get the motorcycles, letting the wives' club be excited.

?? Stuck on writing, and sleepy, that's it.
