Chapter 1596: Stay for two more days

After the good neighbors nearby shared a little, there wasn't much left of the various fish and shrimp, Ye Yaodong helped move them home and put them in the refrigerator.

How to handle the rest was up to them, whether to pickle, dry, or freeze.

And he also sat down to chat with Director Chen while waiting for dinner, talking about his experiences and the changes in policy development during this period.

1992 was also a spring.

Now 1990 was also more than half over.

The three children couldn't stay at home, so they played with other children in the courtyard, and didn't enter the house until they were sweating profusely when it was time to eat.

Ye Yaodong still had to drive the tractor back at night, so he didn't drink, just continued to drink tea and chat after the meal.

It wasn't until nearly nine o'clock that he took the three children who were having so much fun they forgot to go home.

Ye Xiaoxi climbed onto the tractor and was still reluctant to part. "Dad, when are we coming again? I made so many good friends..."

"Only played for a few hours, and you have a bunch of good friends?"

"Yeah, I said I would share my doll with them, and my toy car, brother also said he would bring his transformer over next time."

Ye Chengyang nodded repeatedly on the side. "Someone also has a transformer, I said I have one too, he didn't believe it, I'll bring it over for him to see next time."

"I thought you were missing Godfather and Godmother, missing those uncles who gave candy, beautiful aunts, and rich grandmas, your mouth is so good at talking, today you opened your dad's eyes."

Ye Xiaoxi grinned and laughed, triumphantly raising her chin. "That's because they like me, I am loved by everyone, super invincible and cute!"

"yue~"

"Stinky brother..."

The two children looked like they were about to fight, Ye Yaodong directly locked the horizontal board at the back door.

"Stop making noise, sit properly, I'm going to take the rocker to shake."

At this time, it was already 9 o'clock, except for some shops with nightlife, there were basically no people on the road, especially in this vicinity, basically all residential and factories, at this time every household's children were also taken back to sleep, the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet except for the sound of them.

It was also fortunate that the electricity was connected, although there was no sound, but looking up, one could see the lights of ten thousand homes.

After the tractor started, the sound immediately covered the children's voices.

Along the way, one couldn't see anyone, but with the noisy sound of the tractor, one felt full of security.

However, after leaving the urban area and walking towards the outskirts, there were many more people on the road, either carrying loads or pushing carts, everywhere were big and small cars, either empty or full.

After approaching the wholesale market, the flow of people was even greater, crowded with people, even with the sound of the tractor, Ye Yaodong could hear and feel the bustling noise in the distance, and even the entrance was as bright as day, all kinds of lights.

The three children originally felt bumpy and sleepy, but after getting off the tractor and seeing more people than rice in the distance, they were immediately not sleepy.

They opened their mouths wide, looking at the distance in surprise.

"Dad, why is it so lively there?"

"Why are there more people at night than during the day?"

"So many people, it's all seafood smell, are those baskets they are carrying all seafood? So many..."

"That side is also, that side is unloading goods, that side in front is loading goods."

Ye Yaodong parked the tractor and said, "This market is specifically opened at night, closed at noon, noon is all placed outside, so there are more people at night than during the day."

"Why open at night, not during the day?" Ye Chenghu asked curiously.

"Because it has to be sold in various places during the day, opening at night allows for night trading, and then immediate transportation, and it can start selling when arriving at the destination during the day, then if it's a far place, naturally there's no difference."

"Understood."

"Let's go, take you to sleep, it's so late, hurry up and sleep."

"We want to sleep with the cousins!"

Ye Xiaoxi also raised her hand. "Then I also want to sleep with the cousins."

"They must be asleep, don't make noise."

"How come, the lights are on over there! I'll go over and take a look."

After Ye Chenghu finished speaking, he ran, and Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi followed closely behind.

Ye Yaodong could only follow behind them.

Aguang was woken up by the sound of the tractor, and at this time stood in the corridor and shouted at him, "Dongzi, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"They want to sleep with their cousins, I'll take them over to take a look."

"Oh."

Aguang still wanted to chat with him for a few words, so he had to wait first.

Ye Yaodong led them over and settled them down before coming over alone.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I was asleep, and was woken up by the sound of your tractor again."

"Was finding a house smooth today?"

"Renting is easy to say, you can rent a house on a lively street casually, it's just that no one is selling, have to look again."

"Then look again, if it really doesn't work, just rent a shop in the busy market first, and then see where there is one for sale nearby, buy one directly, that way you can also live there. It's best to be on the street with a wider road, maybe it can develop to the surrounding area in the future, look at when we strolled two years ago, only those two or three streets were lively, unlike now where there are shops everywhere."

It's still convenient to have an intermediary, if you look for it yourself, you might not be able to ask for it in a day, and maybe people will think you are a liar, and will be vigilant and not dare to sell casually.

"You're right, when you bought it here, it felt quite desolate and remote, now several factories have been built nearby, all people."

"Hmm, I'll take the ticket to move the electric refrigerator early tomorrow morning, and then go back, you aren't going back with me tomorrow, right?"

"I still have to look for two more days, if it really doesn't work, just do as you said."

"Alright, then I won't worry about you, when I'm about to set off for Zhoushi, I'll call the factory here again and let them tell you. If you can catch up, you go up with me, if you can't catch up, then take the shift boat yourself."

"Alright."

"Sleep early."

Ye Yaodong also returned to his room, in the summer, with a mat, a bed sheet, and a mosquito coil, he could sleep until dawn.

It was just that they were in the busy market, a bit noisy, and he could hear the sound of tractors and cars all night, which made him wake up early in the morning, originally thinking of sleeping until he woke up naturally.

The first thing he did after getting up was to call Lin Xiuqing, saying that he would go move the refrigerator as soon as the shopping mall opened, and then drive back, expected to arrive home at noon, let her cook rice and dishes, and also let her call the niece in the family to help ask for half a day off for the three children.

As for the three children, they slept well, he woke up at 6 o'clock, and the three slept until 7:30 before getting up, because the cousins were going to school, and the movement of getting up woke them up.

As soon as they got up, they also thought about the refrigerator, and immediately ran over to see if he was still there.

"Dad, when are we going to move the refrigerator?"

"Go move it after eating, just right when the shop opens."

"We'll just eat Uncle's steamed buns, eat while walking."

The three couldn't wait to move the refrigerator back to the village.

"You go eat steamed buns if you want to eat steamed buns, the factory cooked porridge, I'll eat porridge, the time hasn't arrived yet, no need to rush."

How could they not rush, each holding a steamed bun and already staring at the three adults with tiger eyes, wishing they could pour the hot porridge in, and then leave immediately, but the three didn't dare to urge, could only use their eyes to signal and stare.

As soon as Ye Yaodong finished eating, he raised a pair of scissors to their eye sockets. "Rebelling? Still staring like this."

"Hehe, who told you to still eat slowly there, I'm dying of anxiety."

"Finally finished eating, let's go, hurry..."

"It's too late, it's past 8 o'clock, the sun is already shining on your bottom..."

The three hurriedly ran out and climbed onto the tractor first.

Ye Yaodong followed slowly behind. "What's the rush, we've already paid, bought it, the goods will be left for us, it won't be gone. We also agreed before leaving yesterday, go move it this morning."

"Then we have to hurry, we still have to go to school in the afternoon, have to go home quickly!" Ye Chenghu urged.

"The sun came out from the west? I haven't seen you so active when going to school usually."

Ye Chengyang added, "Brother wants to arrive home at noon, just right his friends are all at home, I also want to arrive home at noon, that way everyone can see it, haha."

"Damn vanity." Ye Yaodong said with a smile, and then took the rocker to the front of the car.

Electrical appliances are sold on the top floor, but only small appliances that are easy to move are on it, and they can be taken away immediately after buying, large items only have displays on it, and stock has to be moved from nearby warehouses.

Ye Yaodong had already asked where to move yesterday, and today he directly drove the tractor to the door, let them wait there, and he went to the shopping mall to find the shopping guide first, he had to be led by the shopping guide, after all, it was a large item of nearly 3000 yuan.

When the refrigerator, which was about the same height as him, was moved out of the warehouse by them, the three children were all boiling.

"Wow~ such a big refrigerator~"

"Wow~ this is our refrigerator, hahaha~"

"Wow hahaha~ we have a refrigerator! So big! Taller than Dad!"

"All move aside, don't get in the way here, if it bumps later, if it breaks, you won't have a refrigerator." Ye Yaodong was sweating profusely after moving it out of the warehouse, the weather was too hot.

"Dad, be careful..."

"Dongge, how to put this? Put it vertically, afraid it will fall, do you want to put it horizontally?"

"The refrigerator cannot be put horizontally, it will break if put horizontally."

Ye Yaodong looked around and there was no rope to fix it, so he asked the shopping guide comrade to find a rope to fix it.

Several people were busy for more than half an hour, sweating profusely before fixing the refrigerator.

"Fortunately, thick straw was padded at the bottom, when you three are on the car later, also lean against the refrigerator, don't let it slide, bump everywhere."

"I know."

Ye Xiaoxi had already nimbly climbed up, and touched it with her hands. "Dad, does it have to be plugged in at home to be icy?"

"Definitely."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he took a few cigarettes from his pocket, distributed two to each of the people who helped move, thanked them, and then got on the car.

"Sit tight, going home."

As soon as the voice fell, the tractor moved.

The three children in the tractor trailer were all sitting with their backs against the refrigerator, their hands touching it all over. Even though they hadn't removed the packaging yet, they couldn't help but start picking at the corrugated cardboard on the outside.

After a few hours passed, the tractor "chug-chug-chugged" into the village entrance, puffing out black smoke. By the time they were almost home, they had already picked several holes in the outer packaging, and the snow-white refrigerator was covered in dusty fingerprints.

Lin Xiuqing heard the movement and hurriedly came out, looking at the father and children jumping off the car with a full face of smiles.

"Finally back, the rice is cooked, haven't heard any movement for half a day."

"Mom, we bought a refrigerator back..."

"Mom, such a big refrigerator, it's here, come and see..."

The three children shouted at her loudly, scrambling, extremely excited.

"Dad, can we unpack the packaging bag now?"

"Move it down first."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the big guy lying in the car bucket and her eyes were shining. "Such a big one, no wonder it's 2800."

Ye Chenghu was extremely excited. "Mom, the salesperson said, things can be iced on top, and fish, shrimp, and pork can be frozen below, it won't go bad no matter how you put it."

"Good good, wait until it's moved home and plugged in to try."

The neighbors around heard the movement and all ran out to look.

"Oh my, such a big guy, this is a refrigerator? Bought it back."

"Heard two days ago that your family was going to buy a refrigerator, good fellow, such a big refrigerator? This must be several thousand, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this one refrigerator is very expensive, heard that things put in this refrigerator, will never go bad..."

"Your family should have bought it long ago."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, "Isn't it because Adong wasn't home? I didn't have time either, and it wasn't necessary to buy it when it was winter. This time, Adong just happened to be back, said the weather was hot, bought a refrigerator for the family, the father and children went yesterday morning, and only moved it back today."

She pulled the people around again. "Let's move aside, don't touch it, move it down first."

Everyone looked curiously at the big guy on the car being moved down and stood at the door.

"So big, taller than me..."

"What words are written on this box? The picture is understood."

This refrigerator outer packaging is solid, the innermost is moisture-proof oil paper wrapped around the fuselage, the middle is embedded with two-finger thick foam plastic, the outside is covered with a corrugated paper box with red characters "Qingdao Electric Refrigerator General Factory", the straw rope tied was scattered by the children as soon as it landed, and now it is being grabbed by several half-grown boys to weave grasshopper cages.

The three of them had wanted to tear off the straw rope while on the tractor, but because the refrigerator hadn't been moved down yet, they didn't dare to move it at all for fear of being scolded, so they only dared to secretly pick at the corrugated box with their fingers.

"Dad, can it be unpacked? Hurry up and unpack..."

"You've picked holes in everything. You're asking if you can take it apart? Just hurry up and take it apart."

"I'll come, I'll come..."

"I'll come, I'll come unpack..."

They scrambled to tear the outer packaging.

Lin Xiuqing was worried they would ruin the refrigerator, so she slapped them away, "Stop messing around, or you'll knock it over later. I'm going to get the scissors, and none of you are allowed to touch it blindly."

The three stopped their hands.

The children around gathered around them chattering, saying all kinds of envious words, and the three stood up straight, raising their chins.

Lin Xiuqing used scissors to cut an opening in the outer packaging, and the three swarmed up, using this opening to tear off the paper box, revealing the snow-white foam protective corners inside, and the air was also filled with the unique smell of new plastic.

Their fingers were still stained with mud and dust from the car bucket and paper box, and as soon as they touched the refrigerator, they pressed several handprints on the refrigerator door, watching Lin Xiuqing glare at them, and slapped their hands away.

"Are your hands dirty? And touching randomly."

The women around also wanted to touch, but when they heard this, they all shrank back, only looking at the refrigerator with envy.

Ye Chenghu secretly couldn't help but reach out to touch the door handle again, this was still a bright handle, not a dark door opening, and was slapped away by Lin Xiuqing again: "Hands are full of sweat, black and dirty and still touching?"

Ye Yaodong was generous, uncovered the upper and lower two doors, and let everyone look at the snow-white plastic grid inside.

"Look, look, look enough, we'll move it in later."

"So big, can put a lot of things?"

"Worth it, this two or three thousand yuan can store a lot of things."

"Quite good-looking, it makes me itchy..."

"Let your man earn money this year, and buy one for the family..."

Ye's mother heard the news and arrived late, shouting exaggeratedly: "Oh my, such a big refrigerator? Finally moved back, said it was bought yesterday."

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a big one? It must be very easy to use, fish and shrimp can be put inside to eat slowly in the future, it won't go bad for a few years!"

The people around immediately complimented her.

A pile of women chattered endlessly.

Ye Yaodong let them look enough, talk enough, as long as they don't mind standing in the sun and being hot, he went into the house to get a pack of cigarettes for Chen Shi and Old Xiao.

"Eat before going back later."

"No need, we'll go home and eat, we'll leave after moving it in later."

Ye's mother immediately shouted to drive people away, "Touch again and it will melt, come back to see later, move it in first, plug it in and try it first."

The crowd then laughed and dispersed, making room for them to move.

Lin Xiuqing followed behind to direct the position they placed, she had already imagined the position it should be placed yesterday, it was just that the wire hadn't been pulled, she didn't know how to do it, had to wait for Ye Yaodong to come back and pull a wire.

This was considered a compulsory course for men in the village, basically everyone knew how to pull wires for the family, it was just that the young and strong were not at home.

"Do you want to eat first? Pulling a wire is not that fast, the food is already cooked, wait until after eating to do things?" She looked at them wiping sweat with their clothes, suggesting.

Old Xiao looked at Ye Yaodong, "Does Dongzi know how to pull wires? If not, I'll come over to help later."

"I know, wait until after eating to do it, you guys stay and eat together?"

"No, then you know, we'll go back first."

"A body of sweat can't sit down to eat, we'll go home and eat."

The two were polite and left first.

Ye's mother touched the refrigerator happily, "Such a big one, touching it is still icy cold, it hasn't been plugged in yet."

"This must be the reason for the metal, and it hasn't been in the sun, it's wrapped in packaging, so you feel icy cold as soon as you unpack it."

Ye Chengyang played with the drawer grid at the bottom, "Mom, when can it be plugged in?"

"Wait for your dad to finish eating, and then pull a wire, maybe you have to buy some auxiliary materials, go eat first, there are things to do, wait until after eating to let your dad do it slowly."

"Don't pull it back and forth, it will break," Ye Chenghu saw Ye Chengyang playing with the refrigerator drawer, slapped Ye Chengyang's hand away, "If it breaks, you will be beaten to death!"

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "Right, whoever breaks it will be beaten to death by me."

"Mom, can I not go to school at noon, I want to watch Dad pull wires, do the refrigerator."

As soon as Ye Chenghu finished speaking, the remaining two also looked at her with eyes full of expectation.

"No, go to school when it's time, didn't go in the morning, have to go at noon, review well, do well in the final exam."

"We are reviewing now, it doesn't matter, the text has been learned."

"That won't work either, go to school when it's time, you can naturally see it when you come back from school, maybe the refrigerator will be icy by then."

"But we can't see the process."

"What's there to see."

Ye Yaodong also said, "Maybe when you come back, your dad hasn't finished it yet."

"Sigh~"

Ye Chenghu sighed, pulled up his pants and squatted down, supported his chin with both hands, and stared at the refrigerator, not wanting to go to school at all.

Originally thought that going to school could also share with classmates, happiness doubled, but that also had to be refrigerator charging and icy, now the refrigerator hasn't been done yet, how can he bear to leave, happiness is halved.

Ye's mother slapped him just as he was squatting, very smoothly, "What's there to sigh about, which child sighs every day? Good luck is all sighed away by you, not allowed to sigh!"

Ye Chenghu touched the back of his head and stood up, glaring at Ye's mother.

If he had known, he wouldn't have squatted down, he was taller than his biological grandmother now, and she couldn't hit him at all.

"Look at what, hurry up and eat, still looking?"

Ye Chenghu still looked resentfully, the other two had already moved, hurriedly went to pack rice to eat first.

The old lady patted his arm, "Good, go eat first, after eating you can watch your dad do it, it's only 12 o'clock, it's still early for school."

Ye Chenghu nodded, and then leaned on the old lady's shoulder to eat.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi sat at the table, she chattered, "Dad, after the refrigerator is plugged in, buy me a lot of soda to put in and ice, and buy a lot of popsicles and ice water to freeze, I want to chew ice cubes, eat enough, eat enough."

"Be careful of diarrhea."

"Won't."

"Buy it with your own money, how much money did you spend yesterday?"

"But I'm going to school, the peddler came, I didn't hear it."

"Then I don't care about you."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at Lin Xiuqing with eyes full of expectation.

Lin Xiuqing glared at her, "What did you buy again? Only know how to spend money every day."

"No, I didn't spend it, it was all spent by Dad!"

Said very reasonably, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also nodded.

Ye Yaodong agreed, "That's right, I spent the money and bought the things, so give them all to me later, don't think about taking them away."

The three hurriedly lowered their heads and ate honestly.

Ye's mother sighed, "Only your dad can earn money, otherwise where would you be so happy? When your dad is old in the future, who will you rely on? Save where you should save, don't buy things randomly, and study well, only then can you earn money well, and buy whatever you want."

"I know."

"Now the refrigerator is bought back, when do you plan to leave? You told your dad you would arrive up there within a week, right? How many days is it now?"

"Not many days."

"It's the 4th day since you arrived home, right? Then you have to leave tomorrow?"

The whole family looked at Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong looked from left to right, looked around, "It's fine to let my dad work for two more days, right?"

Everyone at the table nodded. ===== CHAPTER 1597 =====
