Chapter 1790: Arrangement

At the dining table, the two didn't stop, grabbing each other's dishes. When the dishes were pulled outside, Lin Xiuqing's face fell, and the two became honest.

After the meal, the adults continued to pick and choose from that pile of clothes, while the children went to pick the specialties they wanted to eat.

"Big brother, these chicken biscuits are delicious, bring some to school for sister Xiaoya tomorrow."

Ye Chenghu glanced at her sideways, didn't speak, and silently pulled a bit of the chicken biscuits she had eaten to his front.

"These egg rolls are also delicious, but a bit broken..."

He also pulled a bit to his front.

"What are you doing with a stinky face!" Ye Xiaoxi was angry. She took the initiative to speak, but her big brother still had a stinky dead face.

"Hmph."

Ye Chenghu pulled the portion he was going to bring to school tomorrow to his schoolbag, and then threw the schoolbag upstairs.

Ye Xiaoxi glared at his back, punched and kicked the air, and then sat down, picking and choosing to find what to eat.

Lin Xiuqing noticed their movement and shouted, "Just finished eating, you can still eat? Don't eat too much, put it away, eat when you are hungry at night, do homework first."

They responded, but they were also obedient and put it away.

They haven't lacked food and drink for these years, so there was nothing they hadn't eaten, and they weren't that greedy.

Ye Yaodong came over three days later.

He came over as soon as he was busy. After all, there were many things now, time was tight, and it was rare to find time, so he hurried to handle the things that should be handled first.

When he arrived at the Pudong small courtyard, the courtyard gate was locked, he had a key, and opened it directly. There was no one at home.

Those who go to work go to work, those who go to school go to school.

After turning around, he went out to find Ye Huimei again. At this time, it was estimated that only she was still idle at home.

He didn't have anything to do, just greeted and looked, said two words and then went out to get busy again.

He just brought over a dozen people, sent them to the rented house to settle down, and after settling down, he had to take them to the driving school to sign up. He just took advantage of the time when everyone was settling down to come over and take a look.

Now that he had looked, he had to take people to sign up for the driving school. This time past the driving school was just right, and he could handle the matter directly, saving time, and he could be busy with the freight yard tomorrow.

The dozen people brought over, when they are not practicing driving, can go to the freight yard to work and help, and supervise by the way. The labor was saved a bit.

Anyway, these people will also be arranged to work on the freight side later.

Ye Huimei saw him come over, and before his butt was hot, he left in a hurry. When it was almost mealtime, he came over again to call her to cook...

"Third brother, you might as well hire me as your nanny. At noon, I'll cook and send it to sister-in-law's unit, and at night I'll cook and wait for sister-in-law and children to come back to eat, and I can help you look after the house."

"Hey? This idea of yours is okay. Anyway, the children have gone to school, you are idle at home every day with nothing to do, you can just move over to have a companion, there are many rooms here, enough to live, and you can cook for them, I'll calculate your salary."

"Okay, anyway, taking care of three children at home, it's the same to cook, moving over is also by the way cooking one more meal."

"Wait for your sister-in-law to come back from work, I'll talk to her and see."

Lin Xiuqing came back from work in the evening. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the noisy sound in the house. Her three children weren't that noisy now, and she seemed to have heard the twins' voices, so she was puzzled.

When she entered the house, Ye Yaodong was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu were flattering him by pounding his legs.

Ye Chengyang was running with a truck toy to chase the twins, and the laughter was made by the two.

Ye Chenghu was sitting at the dining table stealing food.

"Your mother is back!"

Instantly, it was either the sound of calling mother or the sound of calling aunt.

Lin Xiuqing walked toward them with a full face of smiles. "Came over today without calling in advance?"

"If I called in advance, where would the surprise be?"

"When did you arrive? You even called Huimei over to cook?"

"In the afternoon, I saw she was idle at home, so I found some work for her." Ye Yaodong also mentioned by the way that he asked Ye Huimei to come over to cook for them.

Lin Xiuqing thought about it and felt it was okay. Anyway, the sister-in-law and sister got along quite well, and the children played well.

"It's okay, that is, if she cooks at noon and sends it, she has to cook a larger portion, there are nearly 10 people in the office. If you want to send meals, you need to cook 10 people's portions, no need for many dishes, 4 dishes and 1 soup, just a larger portion."

"It's not a big problem. Just after she drops the kids off in the morning, she can go buy groceries, then cook, and deliver them to you guys at the right time. You won't have to go to the trouble of cooking when you get off work in the evening. She can also help look after the house. It wouldn't be reassuring to hire an outsider, so hiring her is the best, most effortless, and most convenient option."

"Okay, then talk to her later. If she sends meals, the expenses for lunch can be saved, greatly saved, eating out every day costs dozens."

"Talked to her in the afternoon, wait until dinner to confirm with her."

"Then I'll really be saving effort and getting to enjoy some comfort."

Ye Xiaoxi winked at Pei Yu. "You can move over and live with us, the two of us can sleep in one room."

Pei Yu nodded happily. "Too good."

Ye Yaodong patted the two heads with a smile. "This is happy now, but don't make trouble."

"We won't, if we want to make trouble, it's those two, annoying dogs. Big brother's turtle is turned over by them every day, four feet to the sky. Big brother was angry when he saw it at night, put it high, not allowed them to touch. Second brother's toys were all turned out, and my two dogs, grabbed by them to ride, dog hair fell a lot."

"Isn't this the same as you when you were young? You chased chickens and dogs when you were young, drove ducks, and fought with big geese! Tied braids for roosters, slept in dog kennels! You were more troublesome than them!"

Ye Xiaoxi's face was full of disbelief. "Where, you talk nonsense, when did I do this, I didn't!"

"I didn't talk nonsense, these are facts, compared to you, they are already obedient."

"How is it possible, I still remember them sticking cockleburs all over their heads."

Lin Xiuqing said, "That's just them harming themselves, you stuck them all over your clothes, a sweater was ruined, and I beat you until you cried for your father and mother."

Ye Xiaoxi argued stubbornly, "Absolutely not, you must be talking nonsense, how could I do this kind of thing, I don't believe it, obviously I was obediently lying on Great-grandmother's lap listening to the tape recorder when I was young!"

"There is no obviously, it just happened to be what I said just now."

"There is no just happened to be! I remember I was very obedient when I was young, Great-grandmother praised me every day, and put full pockets of candy in my pockets."

"I have evidence."

Ye Xiaoxi raised her head and turned away. "I don't believe it, I didn't see it, I don't remember, anyway, there is no such thing, eat."

After saying that, she ran away.

It happened that Ye Huimei also called for dinner.

The children, big and small, in the living room immediately flew toward the dining room, and then a piece of wow sound.

"I want to sit here, I want to eat this..."

"So fragrant, little aunt, you really know how to cook."

"Then is it better for your mother to cook or me to cook?"

"Both good, both good, hahaha..."

It's rare for a table to be full, and people eat happily when there are many people. Those children called this delicious while eating, and that delicious.

Ye Yaodong and his wife also told her about asking her to move over to cook. The children gathered together and it was lively.

Ye Huimei also wished for it, anyway, she was idle now.

Ye Xiaoxi suddenly spoke, "Father, didn't you say after you came, let big brother call sister Xiaoya home for dinner? Big brother, is it calling sister Xiaoya over for dinner tomorrow?"

Ye Chenghu felt bad all over.

Ye Yaodong glanced at Ye Chenghu. "I can, as long as he dares to bring her back."

Ye Chenghu shook his head like a rattle. "No, don't give bad ideas, will scare people, I'm going to be scared to death, it's not even a start."

Ye Chengyang gave an idea, "Can wait until the weekend, big brother call a few more classmates to play at home."

"Then you might as well wait until my birthday, call classmates to home to celebrate birthday, then a few more people together, this way it won't be awkward."

"This is good, but big brother your birthday is in the second half of the year, still a long time."

"I don't say, who knows when my birthday is? I can have two birthdays, this Saturday first pass the first birthday, I have never celebrated a birthday, this will call classmates to home to be lively."

Lin Xiuqing said unhappily, "Who is like you, want to celebrate birthday whenever you want?"

"You don't need to care about me, you just need to agree to let me bring classmates to home to play, I have money, I buy cake, buy snacks, soda myself."

"Too lazy to care about you."

Ye Chenghu was happy, still thinking that calling classmates to home would be awkward, now no need to be awkward, call a few more to be more lively, and can also pull in classmate relations.

This is really a good idea, he had

"You don't need to worry about it. You just need to agree to let me bring my classmates home. I have money; I'll buy the cake, snacks, and soda myself."

"I can't be bothered to manage you."

Ye Chenghu was happy. He had been worried that it would be awkward to call people over to the house, but now there was no need to be awkward. Calling a few more would make it even livelier, and it could also strengthen his relationships with his classmates.

This really was a good idea; he had never invited classmates over to play at home before.

Ye Xiaoxi listened and felt restless, "Big brother can have two birthdays, can I also have several birthdays?"

"Are you dreaming? Your big brother wants to invite his classmates to play at home himself, and he's using his own money to arrange it. I'm not going to worry about how many birthdays he wants to have."

"I also want to invite classmates to play at home..."

"You just stop making a fuss, you little thing."

Ye Chenghu interrupted their conversation and asked Ye Yaodong, "Dad, will you be home this Saturday?"

"If you want me home, I'll be home. If you don't want me home, I'll go out."

"Then you'd better not be home. If you're home, everyone will definitely be awkward."

"Fine, then your mom and I will go out. Your little aunt will be at home to help you."

"Little aunt doesn't have to be here either."

Ye Huimei smiled and agreed, "Fine, then do whatever you want."

Lin Xiuqing shot Ye Yaodong a glance, "You're still spoiling him?"

"What's wrong with this? It's normal for teenagers to love playing. Bringing classmates home is nothing. It's not easy for them to let loose when adults are around, so just let them play by themselves."

"They'll tear the roof off for you by then."

"Let them play. They've been going to school here for two years, and it's rare for them to invite classmates over to play once. It can also strengthen their relationships with their classmates."

Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything more. Anyway, she had to go to work as usual on Saturday, so she wouldn't worry about them.

Ye Yaodong asked Ye Chenghu out of curiosity about his female classmate.

Everyone in the family said one thing or another, answering for him, to the point where there was no need for him to add anything.

"Then do you know what her family does? How many siblings does she have?"

"She seems to have two older brothers, one older sister, and one younger sister. Her dad seems to work in a factory, her mom takes care of the house, and her grandparents seem to have a few mu of land they are farming."

"She has quite a lot of siblings."

"You guys don't ask so much. There's not even a shadow of a relationship yet. This one asks, that one asks, isn't it annoying? Before, you kept telling me not to have puppy love, and now, you keep asking about her. That's why I didn't want to tell you guys. It's all to blame..."

He just looked at Ye Xiaoxi, and Ye Xiaoxi glared back, her tone even fiercer than his.

"What are you looking at me for! It wasn't me who said it. I've been keeping it secret for you for several months. You don't thank me, and now you're looking at me! It was clearly you who exposed it when school let out. Blame yourself!"

Ye Chenghu felt that was right, and being in the wrong, he went silent. It was indeed he who exposed it himself.

"Fine, if I don't ask, I won't ask. You handle your final exams yourself."

"Handling it myself is handling it myself! Anyway, whether I do well or poorly, I'm going to the sea."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him and didn't speak again.

Ye Huimei smiled and said, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Chenghu is also grown up. Maybe he'll be in university next year. By then, he'll be the first university student in the whole village, and the whole family will have glory."

"Don't you go putting him on a pedestal. You're hanging it on your lips now, and if he doesn't get in by then, it'll be a huge loss of face."

Lin Xiuqing felt that they shouldn't be talking about university and such right now, lest the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. His grades weren't top-tier to begin with, and there was no guarantee he would get in.

If he can get in, it's a surprise, and the whole family will be happy. If he can't get in, the whole family won't be too disappointed. That's fine; let nature take its course.

"Right, we shouldn't talk about it. As long as he's worked hard, it's fine. Anyway, your dad has a big family business. If he doesn't get in, he can come back and help inherit the family business. If he gets in, everyone will be happy."

Ye Chenghu felt a bit restless after hearing this, lowered his head to eat, and remained silent.

Ye Yaodong said, "No need to put pressure on him. Just let nature take its course. Don't talk about this in front of him in the future."

Ye Chengyang changed the subject, "Big brother, it's already Thursday today. You have to invite your classmates tomorrow. How many are you going to invite?"

"I don't know. I'll calculate it tomorrow."

"Wait for my birthday, I also want to invite classmates to play at home, to have my birthday at home."

Ye Xiaoxi said, "Then big brother, you also have to go order a cake in advance tomorrow, oh. It has to be a bit bigger; there are already 6 people in our family."

"It's a good thing I have money, otherwise I'd be eaten into bankruptcy by you guys."

The atmosphere at the table was harmonious again, filled with laughter.

After the meal, Ye Yaodong took a walk with Lin Xiuqing and also talked about the upcoming arrangements, mentioning in passing what he had been busy with today.

Since they got back tonight, they hadn't talked about serious matters yet.

"I've already had someone look for a mason. Tomorrow, we'll deal with that idle piece of land and fence it off. When you have time, go over and check the progress, and tell me about it occasionally."

"For the dozen or so retired soldiers, I've arranged for one to be the leader. They'll also be asked to keep an eye on things over there. When they aren't practicing driving, they'll have to go over there to help with work."

"I also have to go to the shipyard and the machinery factory. I'll probably stay for five days. Have the exhibition goods shipped back from the Canton Fair arrived yet?"

Lin Xiuqing said, "I just had someone go to the train station to ask today, and they said they haven't arrived yet. It's too slow. We've already been back for three days. I'll have someone go ask again tomorrow."

"Then I'll take people to check tomorrow. They should have arrived by now. If we can pick up the goods, we'll pick them up directly, then transport them back for storage. Those display items are all good and can be reused. We can use them again in the second half of the year."

"It wasn't easy to get so many orders, so we can't make any mistakes in production from here on out."

"We won't. There are dedicated people in charge of production scheduling. At the meeting yesterday, I gave strict instructions that they must do it well for me. This is our first batch of export products, so quality inspection must pass."

"A small half of the orders we received are for fish meal. I never thought that something that could only be used as feed would be quite valuable and popular. I originally just thought about waste utilization, but I didn't expect it to sell quite well."

Ye Yaodong pondered as he walked. Mentioning fish meal, he thought about how the aquaculture industry would become more and more developed in the future, and the domestic demand for fish meal would also increase greatly.

His production volume is quite large now, but it would be best to arrange a dedicated processing plant on land. In the future, he could establish a company specializing in the production of fish meal, doing import and export or domestic sales separately.

When he returns to Zhoushan later, he'll have someone look for a more remote place suitable for building a factory that won't affect people's lives.

"The prospects for fish meal are quite good. Anyway, production lines have been arranged in the bottom holds of several ships now, so as long as there is a fixed output, it's fine."

"Isn't the fishing ban period coming up? I'm just afraid that policy changes will delay production. After all, we received so many orders at the Canton Fair, and we have to arrange shipments one after another."

"I've calculated the production volume. Anyway, it's just a near-shore fishing ban, so it won't have much impact."

"Has this year's policy been released? Is it the same as last year, just a two-month near-shore fishing ban?"

"Yes, it was just announced two days ago."

"That's good. Then we have to arrange for those dozen or so Dongsheng ships to go home in a few days?"

"Hmm, I'll arrange it right after I finish my business here and go back. I'll have Dad go back together with them."

"Your friend has been thinking about catching coral. Now that deep-sea fishing is still possible, there's no chance for them to go catch it during the fishing ban."

"They've been thinking about it for a year. Ah Guang has been keeping in touch with the uncle-in-law, but I have to be the middleman to answer the phone, otherwise, it's not certain both are on shore at the same time. However, it seems their boss made a big profit last year and is resting for now, fishing normally."

"Better not mess with those things. If you can fish, just fish honestly. Anyway, there's money to be made."

"Never mind them..."

Ps: My mom got into a collision with someone's tricycle while riding an electric scooter. Her arm was dislocated, fractured, and a piece of bone was shattered. She needs surgery to remove it. After setting the bone in the evening and finishing the check-up, she went home first to pack her things and will go to the hospital tomorrow. I could have updated on time, but it dragged on until now.
