Chapter 555: Explaining to Ye Mu
After transferring to a car and going through another hour of bumps and shaking, the father and son finally saw the village in the distance.
There were scattered houses in the village that faintly lit up with some small lights, like fireflies in the night sky, weak.
Although because of waiting for the tractor, it was delayed for some time, but now it was only past 7 o'clock.
Just because it gets dark early in winter, it was already dark at 5:30, in autumn and winter, as soon as night falls, everyone basically goes to bed early, saving from blowing cold wind, ordinary people are also reluctant to keep the lights on to weave nets and work, preferring to get up early the next morning.
Ye Yaodong stood up holding the edge of the tractor, "My old mother, finally arrived home, too tossed, tired to death. It's still more trouble-free to hire a tractor directly to the destination before."
Ye Fu looked at the familiar village and relaxed, "It's good to be home, gold nest silver nest is not as good as your own dog nest."
After speaking, he stood up again and directed the driver where to go.
The women at home didn't sleep, all waiting for them to return, turning on the lights and weaving nets while keeping their ears pricked, listening to the movement outside the house.
Today, the tractor passed the beach entrance several times, and they all thought they were back, but when they went out to look, they weren't, either transporting sand, or transporting seafood to the wharf, empty joy.
Waiting from dawn until dark, the one who worried about the father and son the most was actually the old lady.
Because Lin Xiuqing had a little baby to take care of, she would definitely not be thinking about them all the time, while Ye Mu worked outside all day, only the old lady was idle, and there was nothing to divert her attention.
When the sound of the tractor was still faint in the distance, the old lady had already heard it with sensitive ears, stood up, and said happily: "I heard the sound of the tractor, they must be back."
"Seems like there really is the sound of a tractor." Lin Xiuqing also happily put down the sweater she was knitting halfway and stood up.
Ye Mu also heard it, and it was getting clearer, but she still stubbornly said: "Will it be heard wrong again? You said so during the day."
"Definitely won't, it's so late, where would there be a tractor coming to our village, they should be back, went for a whole day, went when it was dark, and it's already the second day when it's dark."
The old lady hurriedly opened the door to take a look.
The night wind was strong, the old man's resistance was poor, couldn't keep blowing wind at the door, she was also persuaded, could only wait in the room.
As soon as the door opened, the tractor sound was louder, and closer, even Ye Chenghu, who was temporarily holding Buddha's feet in the room, ran out.
Ye Chengyang also jumped and followed behind his brother, happily calling, "There's a tractor, Dad is back!"
This kid also shouted with the old lady several times today, all were hearing the sound of the tractor, calling Dad is back, and then hurriedly ran to the door.
At this moment, everyone stood at the door, pricking up their ears, looking towards the distance, while talking.
Lin Xiuqing smiled: "Why do you know it's your dad back whenever there's a tractor?"
"Because my dad is awesome, all sitting on a tractor!"
Everyone was amused instantly.
Ye Chengyang didn't know what the adults were laughing at, instantly felt shy, and pointed directly at Ye Chenghu.
"It's brother who said it, brother told Little Stone that Dad is awesome, all sitting on a tractor."
This made even Ye Mu couldn't help but laugh, "So proud? Still showing off your dad everywhere? Your dad gave you face? If your dad hears this, his tail should be curled to the sky."
Ye Chenghu was fearless, loudly said: "My dad is awesome, other people's dads are walking, he is all sitting in a car, and riding a bicycle."
"Look at how proud you are! Your dad is lazy, this broken road in the village, walking might be faster than a bicycle, lazy to death."
"But he also sits on a tractor! Very majestic."
Ye Mu smiled and patted his head, "You have to tell your dad this, and pat his horse's ass by the way."
"Coming over, turned over, it's really Dad back."
They stood at the door and kept watching, the tractor really came directly to their house.
The two children ran to meet them like flower butterflies.
Others also walked a few steps to the courtyard gate.
"Why back so late? Sold out?" Ye Mu ran to the back of the tractor and looked at the car, finding the car empty, immediately overjoyed.
"Really all sold? That 300 catties, really all sold? Just fish jerky dried by ourselves in the countryside, it turns out to be so easy to sell?"
Lin Xiuqing was also pleasantly surprised, "Really sold out, thought there would be leftovers, sold out is good, also saved from carrying it back. Tired, right? Hurry and go into the room to eat, the vegetables and radish soup are kept warm in the pot."
The old lady also looked at the father and son jumping off the car one after another, "Back is good, back is good, you come back at uncertain times every day, it's quite worrying."
"Go into the room and talk, I'll pay the car fee first."
"How much money? I have it here..."
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly went to dig out the coins in her pocket, Ye Yaodong took a step ahead of her, dug out a large handful of small change, and counted 8 yuan, which made the eyes of several women widen.
"Why so much?"
"Did you give the wrong amount? Just gave a few yuan, we didn't hear wrong, right, 8 yuan?"
Ye Yaodong collected the remaining small change, and said: "Didn't give the wrong amount, there is no hitchhiking at night. Without so much money, people aren't happy to run so far, and it's all dark, and Dad and I don't want to toss anymore, saw the money couldn't be cut down, and then forget it."
Ye Fu: Don't bring me!
The tractor driver counted the money and ran away hurriedly, fearing the two would go back on their word and leave him behind.
"This is also too much..." Lin Xiuqing also felt it was too much.
"Hey hey hey, he's going to run, hurry and stop him, where is so much money needed? Hurry and chase back a little..." Ye Mu shouted and wanted to chase.
"Hey, already agreed, what are you stopping? Hurry and go into the room to eat."
Ye Mu slapped her thigh in annoyance, glaring at Ye Yaodong, "Why are your hands so loose?"
"Don't nag, tired to death. People don't give discounts, what can you do? If you don't accept, you can only walk back yourself, how long will this take in the middle of the night? We still have to send goods to the city early tomorrow morning."
Ye Fu walked into the courtyard first, and glared at Ye Mu.
Ye Mu's attention was immediately diverted, following behind, "Still have to send goods tomorrow, send what goods? What's going on?"
"What else can send? Besides fish jerky, what else does our family have? Wait until we go in and sit down and talk slowly..."
And Ye Yaodong was entangled by the two children before entering the courtyard gate, the two went from being happy to see him at first, to disappointment immediately.
"Dad, you really didn't bring us anything?"
"No, I'm busy to death, where do I have time to bring you, wait until I'm not busy next time, then take you to see."
The corners of the brothers' mouths immediately bent down.
The old lady followed behind and didn't express an opinion, although she also felt distressed about the travel expenses, as long as the father and son were safe, not to mention they were all tired.

She spoke to appease the two children at this moment, "You guys don't entangle your dad first, he came back from so far away and is tired, wait until he finishes eating first."
Lin Xiuqing also opened her mouth and scolded Ye Chenghu, "You don't give me a mouth, your homework today hasn't been finished, if it's not finished by eight o'clock, I'll turn off the lights, and you'll go to school to stand and be punished with a hand board tomorrow."
Ye Chenghu heard that he was going to be punished with a hand board, and inexplicably felt a burning pain in his palm, and immediately let go of Ye Yaodong's hem, and hurriedly ran into the room.
"Holding Buddha's feet every day..."
The old lady helped speak, "He is still small, only been to school for a few months, it's normal not to want to do homework, it will be fine when he is older."
"What is fine when older..."
There was a Ye Chengyang by his feet, Ye Yaodong directly picked him up and held him in his arms.
"He is so big, let him walk by himself, you have been tired for a day."
"Doesn't matter, he doesn't have many catties, light."
Ye Chengyang hugged Ye Yaodong's neck, and immediately twisted, "I walk myself."
Ye Yaodong felt comforted instantly, then walk yourself.
Lin Xiuqing asked him again, "Just now Dad said still have to send goods tomorrow morning, send goods where? What's going on?"
"Ran into Captain Chen who came to our village before in the city this afternoon..."
Ye Yaodong told her simply in a long story short.
Ye Mu also knew what happened today from Ye Fu's mouth, and was pleasantly surprised.
She walked around the room happily, "This is too good, if sold directly to the army, it's so trouble-free, don't have to go out to set up a stall at night, the army has many people, definitely need more later. If this is done well, it will be a continuous business later, ouch~ my God, you really met a noble person when going out."
"Indeed met a noble person, so send all the ones at home to take a look tomorrow, if they still want it, we will come back to collect from the village."
The old lady also smiled and showed her gums, "Then you can't count people as noble, Liberation Army comrades helped speak, you have to count cheaper."
"Of course."
Ye Yaodong looked at his mother while eating, "Is there a scale in the village? Mother, help me buy one, there was no scale today, almost finished."
"Have, have, the grocery store has it for sale, I'll go buy one for you."
Ye Fu shouted another sentence to supplement, "By the way, tell eldest brother and second brother, let them dry more fish jerky tomorrow, not worried about selling. In case the army doesn't want it, can also take it to set up a stall, easy to sell."
"Good, good, good."
Ye Yaodong saw his mother's excited and happy appearance, fearing she would shout everywhere again, hurriedly reminded her, "Mother, you can't tell others, where I take the goods to sell, how much I sell? And how much I earned and so on."
"The matter of sending to the army is even more not to be said. We have to be low-key, don't tell anyone, otherwise the whole village knows how much I sell the things for, and it won't be easy to collect at a low price later."
Ye Mu heard this, and knew she was disliked for having a big mouth again, and immediately said unhappily: "So don't trust me, why still tell me?"
After speaking, she walked out hurriedly with nimble legs.
Ye Yaodong thought in his heart: He didn't want to tell his mother, but who told her to ask about everything, his father was also too excited and fast-mouthed. Anyway, after explaining, just tell his mother not to pass it on, his mother can still keep secrets. ===== CHAPTER 556 =====
