Chapter 1725: Mother's Family

Ye Xiaoxi jumped and jumped around Lin Father and Lin Mother while walking and talking, the candy and peanuts in her pocket fell all over the ground, and she quickly squatted down to pick them up, and the adults also helped to pick them up together.

"Jumping and jumping all day, not walking well, how big, still jumping and jumping." Lin Xiuqing scolded.

Ye Xiaoxi responded in her mouth, "I'm happy."

"If you fall later, you have to be beaten by me during the New Year, and then wear broken clothes to visit."

"Mom, are we going to Grandpa and Grandma's house later?"

"Mm."

"That's great, I'll go find brother."

She ran away flying.

Ye Fu sent the bride, didn't stay to eat the banquet, declined, received a big red envelope and came back.

Ye Yaodong and the others were already prepared, the things were moved onto the car, just waiting for him to come back to drive the car and set off.

His family of five had to have one car, Lin's family had seven or eight people, one car couldn't sit, and had to add a tractor.

Ye Fu couldn't help but complain before setting off, "This small car is good, beautiful, but it really can't hold a few people, and can't hold many things, it's really not practical."

"What do I want it to be practical for? I already have a tractor for practical use, and a big truck, and more than one. I just lack a small car to pretend, not lacking that practical one."

"It's suitable for you to buy, you don't lack anything, if your big brother and second brother buy it, I have to scold them, waste money, have that money, it's better to buy a boat and a big car, buy this small car that can only pretend, what's the use."

Ye Yaodong said: "It's useful for me, I just lack the one that pretends."

"It's just useful for you."

Ye Chenghu interrupted, "Grandpa, it's also useful for you, you are also glorious, hahaha, the villagers all praise you for driving a small car! This life is worth it!"

The car was full of laughter.

Ye Chengyang asked: "Dad, are we leaving at night?"

Ye Xiaoxi quickly asked: "Is there me? Is there me? Am I also going with Dad? Am I also going together? You all went with Dad, I also want to go with Dad!"

"All go, take you all, leave early tomorrow morning, prepare in the afternoon, the boat also has to go to fill up the oil first."

"That's great!"

"Dad, are we studying in Magic City with big brother?"

"Mm, after the New Year, I'll arrange it, your mother will also stay in Magic City with you, anyway, I'm running on both sides when I'm free."

Ye Yaodong pondered, find a few female bodyguards after the New Year, arrange retired soldiers by their side, he is not at ease, finding a few female bodyguards is fine.

The three siblings were all happy, and they were all together again.

Ye Chenghu was also excited, no longer alone all day.

Ye Fu asked: "Can your Vanguard No. 2 boat be driven back after the New Year?"

"Almost, after I go up, I'll take a look at Magic City, and by the way, drive the Ocean No. 8 and No. 9 boats back. These two boats were notified to be completed before the New Year. I'll also take a look at the progress of East Fishing No. 2."

His Ocean-Going ships are now scheduled up to number 11, and there are two more 40-meter ships that haven't been finished in the Magic City yet.

The East Fishing ships are of the 60-plus-meter specification, and they are scheduled up to number 3. Numbers 2 and 3 are being produced simultaneously, and they will also be received one after another this year.

The ones currently fishing in DYD are mainly the Ocean-Going ships up to number 7, and there is also one East Fishing ship that was originally used as a fresh-catch collection vessel, which also joined the fishing fleet before the New Year.

Now the Pioneer has been set as the fresh-catch collection vessel. Future orders will also follow the serial numbers; it's currently at number 2 and will be received soon.

With two such 1800-ton fresh-receiving boats, it's enough.

But after the boat is in hand, he still has to place an order for No. 3, and three large fresh-receiving boats are safe, employees can rest, and fresh-receiving boats carry production lines, which can also produce more fish meal.

Ye Fu told him, and he was also calculating in his mind how many boats there were, and he was a bit confused and couldn't say clearly.

"How many boats do you have?"

"Didn't I just calculate it for you? Anyway, I remember it, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not."

"It's good that you cleared the small boats, otherwise the boats alone would be unclear how many there are, these are still rented out, and they will become a pile of bad accounts when the time comes."

"Mm, those are already chicken ribs, packed and sent benefits to everyone last year, just happened to have energy to free up to engage in other big boats."

"You have to keep the numbers for every ship in order, otherwise you'll get confused yourself."

"Hmm, haven't I been using numbers to organize them? The 20-plus-meter East Rise ships are up to 11, the 40-plus-meter Ocean-Going ships are also up to 11—though I only have 9 in hand right now—and the 60-plus-meter East Fishing ships are up to 3."

"As long as you remember it yourself. If you asked me to remember these dozens of ships, my brain would be mush."

"After the New Year, I'll adjust it again. I'll arrange one person to receive goods for the small near-shore collection vessels, and one person to manage the receiving for the large deep-sea collection vessels."

"You just handle it as you see fit."

"Hmm, I have a plan in mind. I'm just telling you since you asked."

Ye Xiaoxi lay on the back seat and asked, "Dad, are you a Ship King now? Last time we went to the city, when we stopped at the town to refuel, some people said you were a Ship King."

Ye Yaodong grinned. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Chenghu's giggling voice came from the back row. "I'm a Dog King! We have so many dogs at home; my friends all call me the Dog King."

Ye Yaodong felt his arms were a bit short, otherwise he would have slapped him.

He always felt like they were talking about him.

Ye Chengyang said, "Dad's ships will only keep increasing. He'll definitely be a Ship King in the future!"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly. "I think so too!"

It's a good thing these two aren't blockheads.

The car's speed wasn't much faster than a tractor, mainly because the road along the way was broken. It was bumpy, and it still took forty or fifty minutes to drive.

But the advantage was that you wouldn't be covered in dust; only the car would be dirty. When you arrive, you can just rinse it with water and wash the car.

There had never been a car in Lin Fu's township before. Tractors had only become more common in the last few years.

When two cars and one tractor first appeared on the main road in the township, the local villagers' eyes went wide. The children discovered them first and came running, shouting and yelling toward the cars.

Worried that the children were ignorant and would run and jump around the front of the cars, they only dared to drive at a snail's pace.

Later, seeing too many children surrounding them, the people on the tractor jumped down to chase the children away, and then they switched to having the tractor lead the way so the cars could move forward normally.

But those children were so excited that they followed behind the cars. It was close to mealtime, so there were fewer adults outside, but there were still quite a few who saw them and gathered around.

Everyone recognized that the people on the tractor were from the Lin family, and they were all guessing which relative of the Lin family the cars belonged to. How could they be so wealthy as to drive cars?

They drove all the way to the Lin family's door, and the tail behind them grew longer and longer.

The cars had just stopped, and before they had even gotten out, some people already had their heads pressed against the glass looking inside.

To be honest, it was quite intrusive, but in the countryside now, people really aren't very particular, and cars are rare.

When they opened the car doors, the people outside finally moved back a bit, watching them get out.

"Ah! It really is you, Old Lin! You all came back in cars, my god..."

"This car isn't cheap, right? It looks brand new, and it still has red ribbons tied to it. Did you just buy it?"

"My goodness, you've only been in the city for a few years and you've already bought cars? And you bought two?"

Lin Fu hurriedly explained, "They aren't mine. My son-in-law bought them. We went to my son-in-law's house for a banquet yesterday, drank too much, and he's sending us back today."

"Aqing's husband? The one who drives the boat? My god, he's even driving a car now..."

Ye Yaodong and his family got out of the cars and were also surrounded by the villagers, who showered them with all sorts of compliments.

He actually felt a bit overwhelmed; the enthusiasm was too much, but he still smiled and took cigarettes out of his pocket to hand out to everyone.

Lin Mu was worried that the village children would be reckless and break the cars, so she told her own children, regardless of age, to come out quickly and watch the cars.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the enthusiastic crowd and actually regretted driving the cars over. What if they got damaged?

But since they were already here, she could only smile and greet the fellow villagers and say a few humble words.

It was just approaching lunchtime, and some families who ate early had already picked up their rice bowls.

Lin Xiang Hui and Lin Xiangyang's wives had already received the call and prepared the food in advance. They arrived just in time for the meal. Because the house couldn't seat everyone and they wanted to watch the cars, they specifically moved the tables to the doorway.

The big family set up two large tables, and there were many neighbors nearby who came over with their rice bowls, eating and chatting.

The children stood by the cars and shouted, "Don't touch! I told you not to touch, just look!"

"If you touch it again, I'll beat you..."

"You can only look, not touch. If you break it, you'll have to pay..."

The adults also restrained their own children, telling them to just look; they really couldn't afford to pay if they broke or damaged anything.

"A-Yuan didn't come back for the New Year this year either?"

Lin Dasao's face was full of smiles, but then she turned sorrowful. "No. He said he was busy with training and didn't have time to come back. He called before the New Year and said a few words. This child has been in the army for several years now. He only came back to visit twice in the last two years. He didn't come back last year, and he didn't come back this year. I don't know if he'll come back next year."

"Sigh, I regret letting him join the army. He goes away and we don't even see him once a year."

"Now he says he's studying something, which will take three years. This is the second year, and next year is the third. I guess we'll be able to see him next year."

Ye Yaodong comforted them, "A-Yuan has a bright future. When he finishes his studies, he'll be an officer no matter what. His future is limitless."

Lin Xiang Hui said, "I hope so. He's spent so many years in there, he has to make something of himself, otherwise he should have retired or transferred to civilian work earlier."

Lin Fu also said, "Eat, eat. The children are grown and have their own ideas. If you want to worry, worry about the ones around you. They're all grown up, they need to find partners..."

The war reached them again, and the older ones hurriedly lowered their heads to eat.

Eat quickly, leave quickly.
