~21 min read 4,111 words

Ye Yaodong sat there and chatted with him for a while, and didn't get up to leave until four-thirty when the children came back from school.

After watching him go far away, Ye Yaodong raised his feet and leaned on the back of the chair, "Finally left, sat there and chatted for a long time, don't know what he came for?"

"Wasn't it to send pears to our house?" Lin Xiuqing said while killing fish, raising her head.

"Haven't been in contact for a long time, how can it be specifically to send pears? Sitting there and chatting for a long time, didn't say anything else, just chatting, it must be wanting to resume the relationship, just don't know what he wants to do after resuming the relationship?"

"The time chosen is quite good, didn't say it was in the first few days when you came back, when the trend was strong, but came to the door after a month."

The old lady smiled and said: "They are all friends who grew up together, what can't be passed? If people want to be good with you, you can see how to deal with it. As long as people are not bad, if there are any difficulties, help if you can, if it is beyond your ability, then forget it."

"Mm, that's what I think."

"Mother, can I eat pears? Can I eat pears?" Ye Chenghu spread his feet wide, swinging his feet in turn, his body and head shaking together, looking very excited.

He saw the basket of pears on the ground as soon as he came back, and had been staring at it with glowing eyes, reluctant to leave, enduring until now before speaking.

"Let your father peel one for you, the two brothers share it."

"Good, good~ have pears to eat~"

"There are also apples, mother bought red apples when she came back this afternoon, red and looking very good, must be very sweet."

"Really!" Ye Chenghu's eyes glowed, "What day is it today? Did the sun come out from the west?"

Ye Yaodong patted the back of his head, "What are you talking about? No big or small."

"Hehe~ isn't this what you often say?" Ye Chenghu covered the back of his head and moved a step to the side, apologizing with a smile.

"Adults' words, learn less, learn more knowledge taught by teachers, tell me, what did you learn at school today?"

"Learned pinyin, learned s, s, feel like learning a snake." He even reached out his five fingers together, imitating the snake's movements, and his mouth kept "si si" non-stop, playing there.

Ye Yaodong glanced at him and patted his hand that was imitating the snake, "I really doubt you only remember this one s today."

Looking like this, he is still the same as in his previous life, a material that will not study.

"Father, peel the pear quickly, I want to eat apples after eating!"

"Do you want to eat the five-shift hammer?" Saying that he went into the room. He had just finished taking a bath and was sitting there talking, and he hadn't had time to change his shorts.

Ye Chenghu followed behind mischievously and clenched his little fist, beating his butt while walking. Ye Yaodong's head suddenly throbbed. This dog son, how come he is so annoying after going to school for a few days?

Not afraid of him at all!

"Looking for a beating, right."

"Hehe~"

Suddenly, Ye Yaodong had a feeling, grabbed his eldest son's two hands around his waist, let the mixed kid stick to his back, and suddenly a loud sound bloomed on Ye Chenghu's chest~ bloomed~

Ye Chenghu thought his father was playing with him, giggling, and was stunned for a second when he heard the sound, and only reacted after a second.

"Ah ah ah ah~ father~ oh~ I'm going to die~ let me go quickly... you are too much, you fart, you fart on my chest!"

Ye Chenghu pinched his nose and called for heaven and earth, both angry and laughing, almost sitting on the ground, the whole person looked crazy, and after he yelled in the room, he rushed to the door again, holding the door frame with a loveless look, crying and shouting.

"Ah ah ah ah, mother~ father deliberately farted on my chest, ah ah ah... he is too much..."

Ye Chengyang laughed loudly on the side, "You hit father's butt first!"

Ye Chenghu clenched his fist with one hand, turned his head and raised it toward Ye Chengyang threateningly, "Don't laugh, I'll beat you if you laugh again."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "Deserve it, your father didn't press your head and put it on your face, it's already considered good."

"Ah~" Ye Chenghu held the door frame and sat on the ground, "You don't help me scold him."

"Do you still want to eat pears? I don't have time to peel them for you."

"I can call Atai to peel."

The old lady smiled and said: "I won't peel for you."

Ye Yaodong put on his vest and shorts and came out, using the five-shift hammer to knock on his head, "Be honest, do you still want to eat?"

In the end, no matter what, Ye Chenghu still received the five-shift hammer rewarded by his father...

"Eat..." He held the door panel, pouted, and said weakly.

Ye Yaodong took the washed kitchen knife and sat at the door, taking a firewood pear from the basket.

The skin of this kind of pear is brown and very thick. It must be peeled to eat. The moisture inside is also really a lot. He started to peel slowly from the position of the butt.

The two children squatted at his feet and watched seriously, and shouted in their mouths, "Don't break, don't break..."

"Father, be a little slower, don't break..."

Ye Yaodong's technique of peeling with a knife was quite skilled. He didn't want to break the skin either. At first, the speed of peeling was quite fast. After peeling more than half, he listened to them and slowed down.

Until the pear skin was peeled off completely without breaking, the two children cheered instantly.

"Wow, so amazing, didn't break!"

Ye Chenghu directly reached out to take the pear skin, pulled it long and played with it, and didn't rush to eat the pear, and he shouted toward the other side of the wall: "Brother Ahai, father just peeled a pear skin without breaking, so cow~ come and see quickly!"

Is this worth showing off?

Ye Yaodong looked at his excited appearance speechlessly. Children are children, happiness is so simple.

Suddenly, a group of children from the neighbor's house ran over.

"Third uncle is so amazing!"

"Ah, broken! It's all your fault! Why are you all reaching out to touch?"

"Let third uncle peel another one, peel another one to see, we didn't see it."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, "Treat me as a juggler?"

Saying so, he still cut the pear in his hand into four petals, first distributed it to his two children, and the old lady, and the remaining one was given to Ye Chenghai first, and he gnawed on the pear core himself.

Then he continued to perform it again in front of them, and it didn't break again. This time the cheers were even higher!

He didn't expect that he could still rely on this hand to brush the prestige of the children.

Lin Xiuqing smiled: "Just taste two bites each, keep the rest and eat tomorrow, don't eat it all at once, you have to eat dinner later."

The old lady stood up immediately, "I'll go cook dinner first, you busy with yours, Dongzi also don't play with them, go help Aqing do it together, otherwise you have to wait until dark to finish if you wait for your mother to come back to help."

"Understood, by the way, take this basket of pears in and put them away, otherwise it's not enough to eat if they see it."

A few nephews and nieces were already satisfied after tasting a bite. Seeing that the pears were gone, they continued to play with the pear skin, but it broke into several sections after two or three times.

They didn't waste it either, they all took it to feed the dogs, the dogs didn't eat, and they forced them to feed.

Typical people dislike dogs and dogs dislike...

Ye Yaodong originally thought that the mouse only came to their house, but didn't expect to see the mouse helping A-Guang pick cargo at the pier when he went out to sea the next day.

After A-Guang saw him, the two of them also exchanged glances involuntarily, and then avoided tacitly, just smiling and saying hello to talk about today's harvest situation.

Ye Yaodong said depressedly: "Don't mention it, haven't seen any good cargo recently. Today, I almost didn't earn back the fuel money. I clearly added lead weights, intending to drag the bottom cargo, but only scooped up some toadfish. The weather is getting cold, and the cargo is less."

"We are the same, so my father doesn't plan to go out to sea in the future, and plans to rest at home, wait until next spring to do it. Anyway, there is a boat released here, we just need to come over to collect the cargo when the boat goes out, and we can earn some money."

This made everyone around envious.

The mouse also found an opportunity to ask, "How do you divide the boat boss? Isn't this the same as collecting rent?"

Some villagers around had heard of it, and some were not very clear. Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how they divided this?

A-Guang looked at the mouse, and then looked at everyone, smiling and saying: "My father is relatively kind, saying that those who go out to sea are not easy, and our family is also doing sea, knowing the hardship inside, so it is split in half."

"The expenses on the boat, fuel money, worker wages, all belong to Chen boss, you just provide a boat, right? Then return to the dock and sell the cargo for money and split it in half?"

【Given the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanently operating source-changing app as soon as possible,】

"Yes."

Fellow villagers nodded there and said: "That's okay..."

"That's not bad, being a boat boss for others is stronger than going out to work..."

"Stronger than those who run boats as boat workers, this is split in half..."

But there were also discordant voices among them.

"Then isn't this the same as the landlord in the old society? At that time, farmers were tenant land to cultivate, you are tenant the boat."

"Yes, it's about the same as tenant land to cultivate..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes and said loudly: "What are you talking about? Can the landlord split with you five-five? It's considered conscientious for the landlord to give you six-four, seven-three is the norm, and it's not impossible for the ruthless eight-two. Actually compared A-Guang to a landlord, there are only two boats in total, and the landlord has ten thousand hectares of land, right? Can they compare?"

"That is to say, those who haven't eaten grapes, don't say grapes are sour. Don't say five-five, six-four, the boat boss and his father work together and earn, stronger than going out to work for others." Acai also helped to say on the side.

"Also right, split in half is already very good."

"Yes, the boat is provided by others, the boat is the big head, bought for several thousand yuan, five-five split is equivalent to only collecting half of your cargo as rent, more conscientious than the landlord."

Fellow villagers also nodded, feeling it was very reasonable.

The mouse also smiled and said: "If your boat boss doesn't want to do it, I still want to take it over."

The boat boss hurriedly said: "Want to do, want to do..."

Fellow villagers watched the excitement for a while, and after their cargo was collected, they all dispersed.

Ye Yaodong and A-Guang also walked together, chatting while walking, asking about his recent harvest.

"So-so! It's a bit worse than the previous months. After all, it's considered winter, and it's normal for cargo to be less. However, anyway, you don't have to do it yourself, it's equivalent to collecting rent, and it's fine if you earn enough for food and drink every month."

"Is your father also thinking about holding his granddaughter at home?"

"Hahaha, it should be. Anyway, it's getting colder day by day now, and it's windy every three days, and I can't go out for a few days a month. I'll just rest for a whole winter and raise fat."

"Your days are getting more and more comfortable, go if you want, don't go if you don't want, and plan to rest for a whole winter, cool to death."

"You can too, you have earned so much money, why are you still working so hard? You are not so diligent usually, but now you are getting more and more diligent? Changed your nature?"

The two chatted without taking care of the feelings of others nearby. The mouse followed on the side and became more and more envious.

Once upon a time, when they were mixed together, they were all similar bear-like, when did they start, they all mixed so well?

If it weren't for his mother asking him why he hadn't been in contact with them for a long time, saying how good these friends' days are now, why didn't he pull them? He hadn't noticed that the gap between everyone had actually widened so much?

"I want to too," Ye Yaodong pointed to his father who was pushing the cart behind him, "But the old man has to be willing! My old man wishes I would work until 80, don't stop."

Ye Fu glared at them, "Don't work more when you are young, do you wait until you are old to work hard? You young people just don't understand. If you are lazy now, you will have to pay it back double when you are old. If you work harder now, you will be comfortable when you are old."

A-Guang shrugged, "My father is lazy, he plans to rest for a whole winter to raise fat, not me, I am not still working hard to come out to collect cargo."

Ye Fu glanced at him and shook his head without saying anything.

Just occasionally come out to collect cargo, also called working hard?

However, A-Guang's family's days are indeed getting more and more prosperous and better.

Two boats were bought, and this relative earned a lot, which is a pity. The daughter gave birth to a daughter first. Don't know if the relative has any opinions?

Ye Yaodong also thought of this and couldn't help asking: "My sister gave birth to a daughter, is your father unhappy?"

A-Guang stared, "Who said that? The daughter is also the first child of our Pei family's generation. Although my father was disappointed that it was not a boy at first, he was also very happy afterward. After all, he was upgraded to be a grandfather, and he has been happy to want to hold the child in his hands every day recently."

He spoke the truth, "However, giving birth to a son is also certain. Our family only has me, and my father still wants me to give birth to a son, but this is not urgent, wait a few years."

"What if the second one is a girl?"

"Uh..." A-Guang looked at the eyes of the father and son falling on him, feeling difficult.

"Isn't it still early? You ask this question purely to make it difficult for me. My daughter just turned a month old, and you want to find an excuse to beat me up again?"

Ye Fu shook his head, "Wait a few years, anyway, they are all young, a son must be wanted."

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was difficult for people to ask this question now. It was all hypothetical, and it was not a woman, and he didn't love to make trouble.

"Strict now, wait 5 years, otherwise it won't be good if there is a mistake. When Aqing gave birth to Xiao Jiu, I was almost scared to death."

"Mm, that's what I think."

"Then you don't plan to go out to sea for a whole winter, do you plan to leave the other boat at home at the dock?"

As soon as this came out, the mouse's eyes also shone, looking at A-Guang with full expectation, "Don't you want to find a boat boss to partner with for that boat? Just a few months in winter is also fine."

"Ah?" A-Guang looked at him confusedly.

The mouse smiled and said: "If you plan to find someone to partner with for that boat for a few months, it's better to find me, I will definitely take good care of it."

A-Guang blinked his eyes, understood his meaning, and his mouth opened and closed wanting to say something, but didn't say it, just looked at Ye Yaodong and the two of them and looked at each other secretly.

If he said this before they broke contact, he would definitely agree without saying a word, now... always feel that the friendship has deteriorated a bit.

And the timing of his sticking up was when they all earned money and the trend was strong, which made him feel that the purpose was too strong.

However, it was not very good to refuse like this.

He hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't know how my father plans, the family matters are all decided by him. I also heard him say it yesterday, wait until I go back tonight and ask him to see."

"Okay, should be, have to ask your father to see."

"Mm."

Ye Yaodong looked at the mouse, "What work are you doing now?"

"Still unloading cargo at the pier. Although the wages are not high, it is stable, just tiring, so I want to see if I can change to something easier."

"Why don't you buy a boat with some savings, it's better to do it yourself?" Ye Yaodong couldn't help but point him out.

"Sigh, mainly because there is no money. My wife's mother's family has brothers getting married every year for the past three years, and every year they have to spend a lot of money. She has three younger brothers below, and my head is big. She married early, and every time the red envelope has to be the biggest."

"Also, her grandfather is 80 and wants to spend money for his birthday, grandma is 80 and wants to spend money, father is 50 and wants to spend money, mother is 50 and wants to spend money, brother is 30 and wants to spend money, and sister-in-law, I feel endless, what I earn is not enough for red envelopes, and there are several things that need to spend big money every year."

"Oh, by the way, there are also relatives' human feelings, I can't figure out how many relatives she has."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. He still remembered that his wife seemed to have ten brothers and sisters?

It really is endless.

A-Guang also couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for him in his heart. Fortunately, his wife's mother's family is powerful. This is not enough to subsidize no matter how much money.

No wonder working day and night, there is no money left.

"This... every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, why don't you manage the money yourself?"

"Don't you still have to spend money if you manage the money yourself?"

Ye Yaodong also asked curiously: "Does your mother know that your wife's mother's family has so many things?"

The mouse thought about it, "Seems not clear? Just go back to her mother's house every three days, my mother knows and scolds, but she can't not go back if there is something at her mother's house. My wife let me not tell my mother everything, to save the family from having no peace, and I don't want to hear them quarreling all day."

This is really... makes people don't know what to say.

I knew before that the mouse went back to his wife's mother's house every three days, but I didn't know there was this thing.

With so many things in his wife's mother's family, it's strange that he can save money.

"You still have to be careful."

"Sigh, it's just that I earn too little, earn more and there will be money left."

Can actually say this?

They are also convinced, how much money do you have to earn to have money left?

Ye Yaodong and A-Guang both wanted to laugh twice after hearing it, even Ye Fu's brows were tightly clamped.

"Your wife's mother's family is not good. If you can't figure it out, talk to your old father and mother. The salt they have eaten is more than the rice you have eaten."

"Ah?"

Ye Yaodong said: "I just ask you, are you willing to have the money you earned hard and tired go into other people's pockets?"

"This... this human feeling should be paid!"

"Mm, okay, then you work hard to find a few more jobs, slowly do it."

A-Guang also couldn't help but remind him, "Isn't your wife's mother's family obviously sucking your blood? They are all stuck to your bottom line and eating full."

Although the friendship has deteriorated and they feel a bit awkward in their hearts, this does not prevent them from saying a few more words to wake him up.

The mouse listened to their words and frowned, and also felt that there were more human feelings. There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in their village, and there are not as many things as her family, and they are all kinds of things that need to spend money.

He mentioned a few words before, and his wife made a fuss and asked him why he didn't marry someone without father and mother? So there is no need for human feelings, no need to come and go, and there are not so many things.

Made him have a headache, he closed his mouth, comforted himself that there are many brothers and sisters, and it is normal to have many human feelings.

"I'll go back and ask."

"We are not provoking your husband and wife relationship, just reminding you, you also talk well when you go back."

"Mm, then you help me ask your father to see, does your boat want to find a boat boss, this is idle if it is placed there, it is also fine to release some money, a few months is also fine."

Still thinking about it very firmly, A-Guang responded casually. Rationally and emotionally, he didn't plan to partner with him. It's fine to say that his heart has a grudge, or to say others.

He just planned to find an excuse to send him away tomorrow. Anyway, just say it was his father's meaning and let his father carry the pot.

The mouse followed them halfway to the fork in the road before leaving, and Ye Yaodong stopped A-Guang and brought some eggs that had been saved at home for a while for him to take back.

"Suddenly coming up, always feel a bit awkward."

"People are not awkward, what are you awkward about, what is there to be awkward about? If you are not awkward, the awkward one is others. Anyway, just treat it as an ordinary friend. Originally, the relationship was not top-notch."

"Mm, that's the truth. Anyway, it's also seeing that we made a fortune, so I want to gather up."

"Yes, just sent me a basket of pears yesterday."

"Also sent me a basket of pears yesterday."

Ye Fu listened to their conversation and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong, you friends have conflicts?"

"Nothing, small problem."

"Just a small conflict, it doesn't matter to him."

"Then he is specifically asking for peace, but he came to the door yesterday to want to repair the relationship, and today he proposed to want to be a boat boss for A-Guang, a bit too anxious."

"Indeed too anxious." A-Guang nodded.

"Don't care, anyway, can't hand over the heart." ===== CHAPTER 529 =====
