Chapter 477: A Qing who is wholehearted

At night, Ye Yaodong finally had time to tell her about what happened in the market today, and even proudly said that the shop he bought was the second to last one, and two people fought for the last one later.

"And the number of shops released in the next batch will be very small, heard that the price will rise by 500 to 1,000."

"Ah? 3,000 yuan is already expensive enough, who would want it if the price rises again?"

"You don't understand this, right? People release the news early that the price will rise later, won't those who bought it earlier secretly rejoice that it was worth it? The price rose later, but the quantity is small, and some people will also be afraid that once this opportunity is gone, there will be no such shop."

"Don't understand these twists and turns, anyway the money has already been spent, hope it becomes more and more valuable, and can get some rent after renting it out in the future, also saving us from running back and forth."

"Mm, this weather is repetitive, don't know when we can go to sea. Fortunately, we earned 28 yuan today after deducting travel expenses."

"Now you know how to be nervous?"

Ye Yaodong took the palm-leaf fan she was using to fan the children, and fanned them, mother and daughter. "This is called a sense of urgency. Only with pressure is there motivation. Now we have to earn money properly."

"You sleep, I'll fan her. You've been tired for a day, and you only slept for a while in the afternoon." Lin Xiuqing said, touching the child's neck, and only felt relieved when she didn't feel sweat.

"Mm."

Maybe the previous typhoon had just left, and another typhoon passed by later. For several days in a row, it rained a little from time to time, and then cleared up again.

Capricious, even the tide rose again, and didn't recede for several days in a row.

Ye Yaodong sat on the recliner at the door early in the morning, listening to the radio, looking at the newspaper from the previous issue, rarely leisurely.

Hearing the bicycle bell at the door, ding-a-ling, he looked up. It was the postman coming to deliver the newspaper.

"Ye Yaodong, there's a letter and your newspaper."

Mm? There's a letter too?

Ye Yaodong sat up puzzled. "Son, go get the newspaper and letter for me."

"Oh." Ye Chenghu stood up from the dog kennel somewhat reluctantly, but didn't move for a long time.

Last night, this big black dog gave birth to six puppies. Only when Lin Xiuqing mixed leftovers for the big black dog in the morning did she find out. After telling the two sons, they called their brothers and sisters over to surround and look at the wet puppies together.

Several of them didn't move, looking at the puppies huddled together, very rare.

"I'll come, I'll come~" Ye Chengyang heard his father's words and ran out actively, rushing to do it.

"Father~ for you~"

Ye Yaodong took it and patted his youngest son's head with satisfaction. "Still you are obedient."

Ye Chengyang also tilted his head and leaned over happily, picking up the newspaper on his knee. "Father, do you not want this anymore?"

"Don't want it? Already read it."

"Then can I take it to fold paper planes?"

"Can, but don't get it wet, remember to keep it to wipe your butt..."

Ye Yaodong said casually and then held the envelope suspiciously. Only when he saw the newspaper office written by the sender on it did he suddenly realize.

A few days before the typhoon, the person from the newspaper office promised to mail him photos. Didn't expect them to keep their word and really mail it to him.

It's just that the current mailing is really slow. It took twelve or thirteen days to mail from the county to their village. Don't know if the photos were washed slowly, or if it was delayed by the typhoon.

He quickly tore open the envelope, only to see two five-inch photos inside.

Taking it out to look, it was black and white, the picture wasn't that clear, that is, it was obvious that there was a behemoth on the sea surface, there was a person on it, and two boats were docked next to it. It could be seen that the distance of the shooting at that time was quite far.

Ye Yaodong complained somewhat disgustedly, "Shot so trashy, my heroic style wasn't shot at all, can only barely see it's a person."

The old lady sat on the side, curiously stretched her head to look. "Is this you?"

"Yeah, handsome, right? Look, I was untying the fishing net on the whale shark at that time, just this... the one on top is me..."

Disgust is disgust, but this didn't prevent him from telling the old lady about his heroic posture and heroic deeds on the sea.

The old lady also looked with glowing eyes. "Oh, really, you are really promising, this photo is shot well..."

She looked at the two photos back and forth, unable to put them down, and fell into memories.

"Our village also stranded such a big fish before, don't know if it's the one in the photo. At that time, there was a famine, everyone couldn't eat enough, and it happened that they all died, so they were killed by the brigade and divided and eaten."

Ye Yaodong just opened the newspaper and was surprised to raise his head. "Really? That can be considered worth dying for."

"Many years ago, people forget things, and eyes aren't good, looking at the photo also feels blurry."

"Still okay, at least other people's old people are already senile, you remember your age, showing that it's still early from being senile."

"Nonsense, I'm already 81."

"Look, you still remember your age, explaining that it's still early from being senile."

Ye Yaodong said while flipping through the content of this issue, seeing if anything was published?

Didn't expect to see it on the small section on the back of the second page, it really was, densely written with a bunch of small words, and their village's name appeared, with an illustration the same as the photo on it.

Salvaging bronze ware had appeared on the newspaper two or three times in the previous issues. At that time, it was already in the newspaper before it was salvaged.

This issue, he looked for it, only this whale shark was related to their village.

Although the section occupied was relatively small, their village's name appeared on the newspaper one after another in a short period of time, which was quite famous.

You know, the most common medium for receiving information from the outside world is newspapers. Like radios and televisions, ordinary people watch less.

Ye Yaodong quickly went into the house to get scissors. He had to cut this section of the newspaper and keep it as a souvenir. No one will read newspapers in the future. These are all memories.

The old lady also saw his move, seeing that the picture on the newspaper was exactly the same as the photo in her hand, she also felt honored, and her old face smiled like a flower.

"Dongzi is promising! All on the newspaper, this must be known by many people, seeing you."

"This face didn't even show, gray, who knows who it is? But we know it's fine. When I have money, let's buy a camera and shoot it better ourselves."

"Good, good, good, shoot more for me to see in the future."

"How about I take you to town to take a photo when I have time these few days, shoot it better."

The old lady waved her hand with a smile. "What's good to look at for an old woman with a face full of wrinkles? And I can't walk that far road. You young people shoot a few more, save it, take it out to see in the future, and let me see too. Come, hurry up and take the photo in and put it away, don't lose it."

"Mm."

Recently the ground is wet, road conditions are poor, and it's not easy to walk, so let's talk about it later.

When Ye Yaodong took the photo and the cut newspaper into the room for Lin Xiuqing to put away, she also looked at it curiously for a while, directly saying it was a pity, too far away, not clear at all, didn't even see the human face.

"Wait until I can save more money in the future, buy another camera, shoot wherever I go, it's a pity I didn't take a photo last time."

"You want to buy everything, never seen any man like you, talking about wanting to buy a camera all day, and wanting to buy a refrigerator, etc., even women don't think about buying this and that."

Lin Xiuqing muttered, and then put his photo and the cut paper into the drawer, incidentally taking out the family photo they took during the New Year to look at for a few eyes, she smiled involuntarily, and then put it together.

Ye Yaodong sat on the bed, hands supporting behind, body leaning back, shaking his legs, and said as a matter of course: "What's this? Can't have some ideals, have a few struggle goals? I also want to buy a washing machine, television, want to buy a motorcycle, and want to buy a car."

"Early in the morning, you really know how to think, this is not awake yet?"

"Pfft~ will always be realized, the era is developing."

"Then rely on you, just let me see it before I close my eyes in this life."

Ye Yaodong sat up and patted her fleshy butt, duang~ duang~.

"What is closing eyes? You look down on people too much, look at me, it will definitely be realized in the future, let you live a good life, live in a good house."

"Talk less big words, work more, if you have nothing to do, go out and help weave a net, don't paint big cakes for me here."

The word painting big cakes was just learned by Lin Xiuqing from him a few days ago.

"Then I might as well go to the beach to stroll, isn't it enough for you to be busy at home? You can't earn a yuan after weaving for a whole day there, weave a wool, isn't there a long time without weaving fishing nets? Why did you take the thread back to weave again."

Lin Xiuqing gave him a white look. "Isn't there 5,000 yuan to be handed in at the end of the year? I feel heartache just thinking about such a large sum of money. It's not easy for us to save so much family fortune. I can't do anything else, weave as much as I can while I'm free, at least it can subsidize a little, accumulate little by little."

"And don't you still think about sending the eldest to school when school starts? It just so happens that there are ten days left, I'll save a tuition fee for him, and save two sets of clothes. Going to school, can't wear the broken clothes of brother and sister anymore."

Ye Yaodong listened to her plain and somewhat natural words, somewhat moved.

Although she is just an ordinary rural woman, without the glamour of city women, she has many shining points, full of eyes are this family.

She interpreted the qualities of women in this era of enduring hardship, diligence, simplicity, thrift, love for family, filial piety to elders, etc., is a person who can share weal and woe.

"Blind tossing, isn't there still a lot of money at home? How much money can tuition and cloth need? I don't need you to do anything, earning money is on me, don't ruin your eyes, just take good care of the old and young at home."

"I'll just weave casually when I'm free, anyway, it's free, it's good to save a little more, at least I can buy some food for several children."

Ye Yaodong didn't say her anymore, anyway, there are old and young at home, she can't sit there weaving nets all day.
