Chapter 1557: Worth It

Outside, and in the shipyard where people were coming and going, Ye's eldest sister-in-law didn't dare to say much, it would be too ugly if they quarreled.

So she just shut her mouth with an ugly face, but she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart. She had no face in front of her sister-in-law, and she also had a stinky face when she went to A-Hai's dormitory, not saying a word.

Ye Chenghai also saw his mother's face and ignored it directly.

He could guess it. The only one who could give his mother a face was his father. What was there to ask? It would be too awkward to ask.

The group of people walked to the bus stop while talking and chatting. The shipyard was quite remote, still by the sea, and there was only one bus, and it was very hard to wait for.

This was a bus added only last year, before that, they could only rely on riding bicycles.

When Ye Yaodong was waiting for the bus, he hooked his arm around Ye Chenghai's shoulder and winked at him. Ye Chenghai also grinned and winked back.

The uncle and nephew exchanged a silent but expressive look, feeling that this trip had been fruitful.

Ye Chenghai also rubbed his thumb, index finger, and middle finger at him.

Ye Yaodong glared at him, and then also learned to rub his thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

Lin Xiuqing looked at them like a pantomime and couldn't help laughing. "What are you two doing? Acting in a pantomime? What can't you say, still gesturing like this, winking?"

"Nothing, just chatting casually with Third Uncle."

"What did you chat about?"

"Third Uncle said he'd give me a big red envelope when I get married!"

"Have some shame."

Ye Yaodong retorted. It was clearly A-Hai who should give him a matchmaker's red envelope. It was good enough that he didn't ask him to reimburse the oil money, yet he still had the nerve to ask him for a big red envelope.

Ye Yaopeng smiled and said: "The partner isn't even in sight, and you're already asking for a red envelope. Talk about it when you find a partner and get married."

"It's a matter of time."

After the group waited for the last bus, they went to eat while chatting and laughing, and then went to find a guesthouse after eating.

As for Ye Chenghai, he went back first after dinner. After all, it was far, and it would take a long time to walk, and he still had to work the night shift.

However, when eating dinner, Ye Yaopeng also said that he would buy him a bicycle when they went out tomorrow, so that it would be convenient for him to go to the city occasionally, and it would be convenient to ride around to see movies.

He was extremely happy. He was sleepy and was sent a pillow. Only with a bicycle could he conveniently talk about love and go to the city to stroll around and watch movies.

When Ye Yaodong went out to stroll the next day, he also pondered that since they had already arrived in the provincial capital, maybe they could go to a big hospital to ask about hearing aids.

After all, it was the provincial capital. Although it couldn't compare to Shanghai, it still had them.

By the time he went up to Zhoushi, and then took time to go to Shanghai, he didn't know how many months would pass. It would be faster and more convenient to buy one in the provincial capital, let the doctor teach how to use it, and take it back.

He told Lin Xiuqing, and Lin Xiuqing followed him.

The group of people were still strolling together that day, but one waited for another, and later everyone strolled separately.

He also went to the hospital with Lin Xiuqing early the next day after strolling. When he went to the hospital, besides getting a hearing aid, he also decided on the spur of the moment that the couple should have a physical examination.

This operation stunned Lin Xiuqing.

"Everything is fine, why let the doctor open an examination sheet for both of us?"

"It's nothing to have a physical examination, we're both in our thirties, it's good to check our bodies."

"Ah? We're only in our thirties, not in our sixties. What are we checking? I'm fine, I don't have any discomfort, no need to check. If you have any discomfort, then check yourself."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him inexplicably, thinking of one thing after another. Both were young and had no illness or pain, yet they still wanted to check?

What's there to check if there's no illness?

"Since we're here, let's check together."

"What's there to check, we're not ill, everything is fine. Checking is a waste of money, and it's a waste of time, it's too troublesome."

"It's also okay to check in advance, just treat it as a screening. In case there's any discomfort, it might be too late."

"Funny, people with illnesses try to endure it as much as possible, and don't go to the hospital if they can avoid it. We're not ill and yet we specifically come to the hospital to check, don't be crazy."

"In case there's any potential illness, it's hard to say if there are no symptoms in the early stage. Check first, since we're here, are you still afraid of spending this money?"

"I just feel it's a waste, no illness and yet spend this money to check, others wish they could stay far away from the hospital."

"Check, check, I've been exhausted outside all year round, aching here and aching there every day. Checking my physical condition, I can be at ease myself."

"Then you check yours, I won't check."

"Check together, have a companion."

Ye Yaodong pulled her, letting the doctor open an examination sheet for them directly, checking from head to toe, a bit more detailed, arranging all the examinations that could be arranged, don't worry about it being too expensive, they couldn't afford it.

Lin Xiuqing looked at him with the eyes of a madman, still wanting to check from head to toe.

The doctor also looked at him strangely, but since he specifically ran over to ask for an examination sheet for a full-body physical examination, naturally he satisfied him.

It's just that they had both eaten breakfast in the morning, so some items couldn't be done. Ye Yaodong insisted on continuing to come over the next day to fast and draw blood.

"You're really full and have nothing to do..."

"Since we're here, it's been decades and we haven't been to the hospital once..."

"Ah, phew, making it sound like it's a pity, talking nonsense."

"I mean, anyway, since we're here, just do a check to be at ease."

After all, her physical condition was not very good in her previous life, and she died of intestinal cancer early.

In this life, she must pay attention to her diet, and she must check what should be checked. Today is also a coincidence, and there is a legitimate reason.

Coming here just happened to arrange the examination package, otherwise, it would be difficult to call her over for an examination next time.

It was not easy to ask her to check just now, let alone specifically coming over for an examination.

If he wanted to come for a physical examination next time, he didn't know how to make up and lie, who would go to the hospital for no reason every day.

Lin Xiuqing just felt that she shouldn't have come to the provincial capital. The two sisters-in-law were strolling around the city happily, while she had nothing to do and ran to the hospital for two consecutive days.

Fortunately, the hearing aid was matched, and she only needed to draw blood again on the morning of the 4th day in the provincial capital, and there was still a whole day left.

However, in the afternoon, they had to go to the shipyard to see the inspection situation.

These few days, they would also take an hour or so every afternoon to see the progress.

Tomorrow is the 15th lunar day, they have to sail back early in the morning, determine the situation of each ship in the afternoon, and pay the inspection fees, maintenance fees, parts fees, etc. that should be paid.

The dozens of ships sent over basically had no big problems. The big ships had only been sailing for a year or two, and other small ships only had some parts replaced, or the machines maintained, and there were no big problems.

However, the factory director also spoke beautifully, if small problems are not solved, it will be very easy to drag into big problems later.

It's just afraid that it won't move halfway through the work at sea. It's fine if there are fishing boats working around, but if you can't see half a ship, you have to worry about calling heaven and heaven not responding, calling earth and earth not responding.

Now that the small problems have been solved, the service life can also be longer.

After the brothers understood the situation of their respective fishing boats, they were also very satisfied, and all of them had more or less problems.

That night, everyone slept on the ships, and they could sail directly at night.

As for Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing's examination reports, they directly entrusted Ye Chenghai to go to the hospital to get them in a week, and then send them by registered mail.

It was also convenient, no need for them to run around to get the report.

When Ye Chenghai heard that he had to help them go to the hospital to get the report, he thought they had some illness and something happened.

Lin Xiuqing was still muttering in the small rest cabin on the ship, feeling that he was looking for trouble, and had to trouble others to run to get the report, and then had to send it by registered mail.

"Physical health is the foundation, check it to be at ease, no illness is best, if there is an illness, it can be discovered early, isn't that better?"

"Then it's not too late to check when you're fifty or sixty."

"Then it might be too late, anyway, just treat it as being at ease. Regular physical examination is also responsible for one's own body. It's best if there's no problem this time, and come back in a few years."

Can't say come for an examination every year, otherwise A-Qing would think he's crazy.

"Fine, anyway, it's checked, talk about the future later, how can it be convenient."

"Hmm."

Although it was dark, it wasn't time to sleep yet. After the couple made the bed, they were bored and stood on the deck chatting.

It's just that the wind was a bit strong, and the temperature was even lower after dark. They stood for a while and returned to the warm cabin.

"This shipyard has people working 24 hours a day, it looks like the efficiency is quite high."

"Of course, I didn't expect the eldest and second brothers to be so fast this time, only three days, and they directly ordered a 40-meter ship together."

"Yes, I was surprised when I heard it in the afternoon. I thought they would drag it out, hesitate, and then a year would pass, how could they say it next year."

"Maybe they thought of this point. We're going home tomorrow, and we're setting off for Zhoushi the day after tomorrow. If we didn't decide today, we wouldn't have time to come and order it all year. The shipyard in Zhoushi is larger, the facilities are better, and naturally it's more expensive. This place is still cost-effective."

When they were staying at the guesthouse for the first few nights, they heard their suppressed quarrels, and thought it would be yellow.

After all, everyone was active these two days, and he and A-Qing ran to the hospital, not knowing their activity tracks at all.

Didn't expect that this time, the two brothers were so decisive and directly suppressed the two sisters-in-law, and decided on the ship today.

When he and Lin Xiuqing took the bus over in the afternoon, they watched them order the ship, and then said that they would remit the deposit of 100,000 yuan to the public account of the shipyard tomorrow when they go back, and the remittance slip would be sent directly by registered mail.

These years, his eldest and second brothers have been following him closely. Although there are few ships, they haven't earned less, mainly because they have accumulated a lot.

Before A-Guang separated the family, it could be said that their Pei family was the one who earned the most besides him, but now after separating the family, he earns money at the same speed as his eldest and second brothers.

His eldest and second brothers gritted their teeth and ordered a 40-meter one. Once the ship is in hand, it's only a matter of time before they catch up with him.

This time it was really decisive.

Maybe it was also because they personally experienced the terrifying speed of fishing boat price increases, so they were no longer influenced by women at all.

That is to say, they love their wives and let their wives, otherwise, where would they have the right to interrupt and speak, let alone listen to them.

He also said nice things in the afternoon, telling his eldest and second brothers that if the final payment is not enough, if there is a difference, they can find him, he can move it here.

The two brothers made such a big decision, and they were actually a bit nervous in their hearts.

However, seeing him and hearing his words, their emotions eased a bit.

After all, he has more ships, has so many 40+ fishing boats, earns no less every day, and can provide them with help. The pressure instantly became smaller.

At that time, his two brothers became visibly relaxed, originally serious and distressed and terrified, and could also talk and laugh.

Lin Xiuqing took the conversation. "There is A-Hai in the shipyard here. With A-Hai helping to watch, it's definitely more reassuring than handing it to an outside factory. After all, it's a ship of hundreds of thousands, related to the family foundation of the two families, and it's definitely nervous after paying the money."

"It's good, it's settled. If there's anything, you can call A-Hai to ask about the progress. With A-Hai watching, you don't have to worry about the materials not being solid. Your own ship will definitely be attentive."

"Yes, he is also free anyway, all earning money at sea, it's also easy to have a son watching."

"And can also give A-Hai a long face, these two days have made A-Hai very glorious, hehe."

Lin Xiuqing thought of secretly holding the girl's hand in the afternoon, and hurriedly mentioned it to him. It was not easy to talk when there were many people, and she almost forgot.

Ye Yaodong raised an eyebrow and smiled. "This is holding hands? Very fast, didn't waste watching him support a scene."

"I said, why did you send these big ships that have only been sailing for a year or two over? It turns out it's to support him?"

He definitely couldn't admit this, otherwise A-Qing would nag him for wasting so much oil money.

"Inspection is also really needed. Now that it's inspected in advance, it can go to sea to earn money directly when it opens to Zhoushi, and there's no need to open it to the shipyard to wait for the list, I don't know how many days it will delay. There is A-Hai going through the back door here, directly arranging masters, which is even more convenient."

"It seems I was the only one who saw it. He shouldn't have told the eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law. At that time, you were talking about ordering a new ship, and I was walking around the factory, and I saw it when I turned to the dormitory building."

"I heard him mention it before, that girl is the factory director's daughter, which can be considered a good marriage."

Just looking at this family background, I know that the girl's family education won't be bad, and the girl's shy look also shows that she is young and pure.

Most girls in this era are very pure, no need to worry too much about lifestyle.

"Still the factory director's daughter? Such good conditions?"

"But it seems she has 4 older brothers, 2 older sisters, and 1 younger brother above her. Although the family background is good, the family has many children, and it is estimated that life was not so good in the past few years."

"So many brothers and sisters... that's 8?" Lin Xiuqing was surprised, but also felt it was normal. "Then it is estimated that life has been better in the past few years, otherwise so many mouths, eating and drinking in the city all need money, life might not be as good as our countryside."

"Definitely, don't envy city people eating public grain, that little ration is not enough for so many people in the family, and it's not as good as our rural eating and drinking without spending money."

"A few days ago, I heard people say that you can get a city household registration to eat public grain through relationships, that is, you have to spend a few thousand yuan..."

"Listen to the excitement, they will regret it later. Also, I don't know if A-Hai has talked about the partner, if he hasn't, don't talk about it, otherwise the eldest sister-in-law will be angry, we know everything, but she, the mother, doesn't know anything."

"Fine, then I won't say it first, wait until the eldest sister-in-law starts showing off that A-Hai found a city partner, then I'll listen to the excitement and join in."

"If you find a city partner, and it's still the shipyard factory director's daughter, she should be excited, wishing she could stand at the entrance of the village with a loudspeaker and shout."

Lin Xiuqing laughed happily. "Definitely, finding a city partner is already very face-saving, not to mention the family is also good, how much glory it is to say it out."

"Hmm, if it's fast, we should be able to drink A-Hai's wedding wine by the end of the year."

His eldest brother's ship was ordered just right, just enough to let the factory director see their family's strength!

Hundreds of thousands of ships were bought as soon as they were bought, and they were so decisive, and they were decided in just a few days.

When the factory director knows that his daughter has been taken away, he probably won't be too opposed. Although they are from the countryside, they also have some strength.

By the time they talk about marriage, his eldest brother can also buy a house in the provincial capital.

And it's impossible for the eldest son to have it, but the younger son doesn't. The premise of not being partial is that two sets must be bought.

Buying it now is earning it.

Later, you can laugh when you dream. By then, guarding this family business, you won't have to worry about the second half of your life.

And A-Hai can also have his father-in-law's help in the future, it won't be bad, he also has his own ideas, which can be considered overtaking in a corner.

"Last year, they were still saying that Chenghe would get married earlier than A-Hai. Now it seems that it's hard to say who will get married earlier between the two brothers."

"If A-Jiang knows, he will definitely nag and scold A-Hai."

"Why scold him?" Lin Xiuqing was curious.

The couple was lying in the cabin, and it wasn't time to sleep yet. They were bored, and they could chat about anything.

"The two agreed to be bachelors together and fight against the old mother together. Now it's good, A-Hai found a partner, and he has to support it alone."

"Hehe, anyway, don't worry, they are all young, it might be better to find one in a few years."

"Forget them, anyway, it's not our turn to worry, the three of us are still small."

"I don't know if your daughter still remembers that Sister is leaving when we are not at home these few days."

"So many days have passed and there is no movement, it must have been forgotten. Anyway, when we set off early in the morning, just secretly hug Xiaoyu out of the quilt and take her away."

Lin Xiuqing could already imagine how miserably Ye Xiaoxi would cry when the time came, holding the phone with snot and tears, complaining to Pei Yu.

"Then you guys are good, pat your butts and leave, leaving me to clean up the mess."

"Coax her, paint a big pie, you can pick her up to play for two months in the summer vacation."

"We'll see..."

The couple chatted and fell into a dream.

Waking up in the middle of the night hearing the roar of the engine, Lin Xiuqing found that the bed next to her was empty, and the fishing boat was moving. She slowly closed her eyes again.

When they arrived home, it was just sunset.

"Wow~ the cake is back~"

"So big, this time I can eat to my heart's content..."

"Haha, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and Aunt's husband also have cakes, our cakes can be eaten by ourselves..."

"So cool, I can eat a lot of cake today, I want to eat it as dinner tonight..."

The couple carried a big cake in their hands, and as soon as they got off the ship, they were surrounded by their three excited children. The cake was also taken over by Ye Chenghai.

The other two also reached out and scrambled to take it. Ye Chenghai still had the prestige of an eldest brother, scolded a sentence, and let them not knock the cake over, so they reluctantly stopped.

Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and A-Guang also bought one each, and at this time they were also excitedly surrounded by their own children.

Among the workers, there were also those who were willing to spend money, and quite a few also bought small sizes.

It was rare to go to the provincial capital, and the children were thinking about cake in their mouths recently.

The birthday banquet had just been eaten not long ago, and they were all hoping to eat it again. Their own father had already told them to bring one back before leaving the house.

The children around were all chanting cake...

And those who didn't buy cake back, the children were naturally full of disappointment and depression, which made the fathers feel guilty...

Some families were happy and some were sad.

Ye Yaodong also brought back a boxed hearing aid. When he returned home and saw the old lady, he handed it to the old lady.

The old lady was full of smiles. "What did you buy for me again? Why did you buy it for me again? It would be fine if you brought cake back."

"This is a hearing aid, specifically matched for you at a provincial hospital. You weren't there yourself, so the wearing effect might be a bit worse, but they taught me how to adjust it, just make do with it. Who told you to be at this age, and it's not suitable for long-distance travel."

The old lady tilted her ear to listen to him, and then said: "Why waste this money? This is also too troublesome, wouldn't it be fine if you speak louder? Can this thing be returned? If not, take it to return."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. "The oil money for my ship trip is more expensive than this hearing aid, you want me to specifically sail a trip to return it?"

"Ah, then... then forget it, don't waste money next time, how to use this, hurry up and put it on me, can't waste it, anyway, it cost money."

"Hmm, then I'll put it on for you, this is expensive, the longer you wear it, the more worth it it is. If you only wear it for one or two days, that's wasting this money."

The old lady nodded repeatedly. "Oh, good, I'll wear it every day, I'll wear it except when sleeping, I'll definitely wear it enough for you."

"Hmm."

Lin Xiuqing muttered in a low voice: "Going to the provincial capital, half the time is in the hospital, the old one doesn't check, the young one checks..."

"Mother, shall we cut the cake directly?"

"We're about to eat dinner, cut it and eat it now, can you still eat dinner?" Lin Xiuqing hurriedly entered the house first.

"Don't eat dinner, cake is our dinner!"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the cake with bright eyes, her whole body lying on the table, already unable to wait to dig up cream with her index finger first to taste.

"Too delicious..."
