Chapter 758: Sending Gifts Openly

Ye Yaodong asked A Cai to make a separate list of goods, and the list of goods they fished in the water was recorded separately, so it would be easy to calculate and divide the money later.

Because there was a date the next day, and firecrackers had to be set off to get a good start, Ye Yaodong didn't go out to sea at night and stayed at home, while his father took Brother Asheng to drive a boat out to sea to drag nets.

He had to wait for the firecrackers and fireworks to be set off at the shore early in the morning, and then go to the border defense station in the town to send gifts. In the afternoon, he could take his eldest cousin to drive the boat out, planning to go directly out to sea to collect squid.

And his eldest brother also stayed at home at the same time, while the second brother took people out to sea to drag nets one step ahead with his father.

After setting off firecrackers and responding to the good day, his eldest brother immediately drove the boat out, not wasting a bit of time!

Lin Xiuqing also cut the pastries ordered in advance one by one early in the morning, wrapped them in universal newspapers, prepared them and put them in a bamboo basket, and asked Ye Mu to carry them to the pier with a shoulder pole, distributing them to relatives and friends watching the excitement.

As for the ones sent to the border defense station, she packed them separately in a basket, just waiting for Adong to return from the pier after setting off firecrackers and fireworks.

The sound of firecrackers outside the pier and the fireworks ringing in the sky attracted men, women, and children in the village to run out. It was rare to be able to watch the excitement and get a portion of pastries, so the fellow villagers were very active in going out to support.

The pastries they ordered were enough, and two boats set off on the day together, which was a great joy. This money could not be saved.

After Lin Xiuqing finished those pastries, she happily hugged the child and stood at the door with the old lady looking towards the pier, and she also talked to the child.

"Did you hear that? This is the sound of firecrackers and fireworks. It's your father who bought two more boats. Our family has three boats now, and there will be four boats next year."

The old lady also joked: "This child can walk sideways in the village next year."

Ye Xiaoxi held a small piece of rice cake and gnawed there, watching the two talking, feeling like they were talking about her.

She looked at this and that, hesitated for a while, looked at the rice cake in her hand, and finally thought about it, still stuffed it into her mother's mouth.

"Ah? I don't eat, I don't eat, you eat it yourself."

"Ah ah~"

"Eat it yourself." Lin Xiuqing pulled her hand again, letting her stuff it into her own mouth, saving her from sending it everywhere.

Ye Xiaoxi took it out of her mouth, the drool thread pulled very long, and stuffed it to the old lady's side. The old lady turned her head and dodged.

"You eat it yourself, eat it yourself, this child is quite generous!"

"Ah ah~" After Ye Xiaoxi called twice, Lin Xiuqing pulled her hand again, letting her stuff it into her own mouth, and she stopped.

"Much more generous than her brothers!" Lin Xiuqing smiled and kissed the child's face again.

"The two brothers also look okay, and will let her."

"After all, she is still young and won't snatch things from them, hehehe~" As she said, she also laughed.

The old lady also laughed.

Their neighbors basically went out to sea, and the women also followed. Digging those shellfish meat was now one of their important jobs.

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao also followed Ye Yaohua's boat and went out first at night. At this time, there was really no one at the door, only Lin Xiuqing and the old lady stood at the door.

The two stood there talking and laughing, until they couldn't hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, and then they happily entered the house.

As soon as the old lady sat down, she happily muttered again, "I'm going to make a lot of money soon, Mazu bless, bless Dongzi and the others to earn a lot..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and didn't pick up the words, just watching the child there, not letting her run around and make trouble.

Not long after, Ye Yaodong also carried the basket with his mother and returned.

Ye Mu had a face full of joy. "Ouch, early in the morning, the pier was full of people, all coming to see our family's boat. Those people's good words were like they didn't need money, they could really talk."

"Are the rice cakes all distributed? Is it enough?"

"Almost, it doesn't matter if you send it to the house later. Dongzi, hurry up and ride the bike, send this basket to the border defense station, at least let people know that we know the rules."

"Hmm, I'll wash my face first, it's hot, my forehead is full of sweat from being busy."

"I'll wring a towel for you." Lin Xiuqing smiled and actively went to the washbasin rack to take his towel to the back door.

Ye Yaodong picked up Ye Xiaoxi who was wandering in the house. "Is it delicious?"

She nodded and raised her small hand again, thinking of sharing.

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth and took a big bite with her hand, leaving only a little bit on her fingertips for her. Ye Xiaoxi was instantly dazed.

She stared at her fingers for a long time, then looked at the rice cake her father was chewing in his mouth, her mouth began to flatten, and she began to brew.

"Ouch... ouch... don't cry, don't cry, there is more, our family still has more..."

"Woo woo woo, wah wah wah~"

Ye Xiaoxi flattened her mouth for a while, brewed for a while, and instantly cried loudly.

She was just being polite, how did he really eat it?

This doesn't make sense!!!

The adults in the house all laughed. Ye Mu smiled and patted Ye Yaodong twice. "Let you tease her! You took such a big bite, only leaving her a little bit on her fingertips, isn't she crying?"

"Why is she crying?" Lin Xiuqing had just wrung a towel, and when she heard the crying, she hurriedly came in.

Ye Xiaoxi had big tears falling down, looking at Lin Xiuqing with teary eyes, and showed her the little bit of rice cake on her fingertips, and then cried even louder.

She hugged the child, looked at Ye Yaodong, whose mouth was still chewing, and couldn't understand it. She also patted him twice and scolded with a smile: "Why did you really eat it? How are you embarrassed to eat hers?"

"Why am I not embarrassed? I'm just teasing her, who knew she was so stingy."

"Which child doesn't protect food? You bit it until there was only that little bit left for her, it's strange if she doesn't cry! Aren't you afraid that the rice cake on her hand has been fed to chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs!"

Ye Yaodong widened his eyes, his neck stretched out. "Really or fake?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him and didn't pick up the words, just let him think so, and then hurriedly coaxed the child, cut a small piece for her again, and she stopped crying.

Ye Mu urged him, "Go to the town quickly, don't delay too late, lest you go to empty space when people get off work. Aren't you going out to sea at noon?"

"Going right now."

Ye Yaodong picked up the kettle on the stove, aimed the spout at his mouth and poured two mouthfuls, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, carried the basket placed on the table and hung it on the bicycle handlebar, and then pushed the bicycle and walked out.

"Wait, I haven't given you money yet, you haven't bought the cigarettes and wine yet."

"Ah, yes, yes."

"So forgetful," Lin Xiuqing took out the five large group notes she had prepared in her pocket and handed them to him. "Should be enough, right?"

"Almost, Moutai is twelve yuan, buy two bottles and buy some cigarettes, should be almost enough."

"Hmm, if it's not enough, take the ten or so yuan under the pillow to make up for it."

"Good, ah?" Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, instantly reacted, and hurriedly explained, "Oh, it's the change from buying the camera the day before yesterday, I forgot to take it out, I'll go first."

He hurriedly stuffed the money into his pocket, pushed the bicycle, took his sun hat, and ran away.

The day before yesterday, when waiting for Director Tang at the bureau, looking at their people coming in from time to time, he probably had a count in his heart. There should be more than a dozen people sitting in the office daily.

Ye Yaodong calculated the number of people, preferring to buy more rather than less, spent all the money in his pocket, quickly bought cigarettes and wine, and sorted out the rice cakes in the basket, piled them up, and made a space to put the wine, and then covered it with the cloth on top.

He asked the boss to take another net pocket to hold the cigarettes, holding it in his hand, otherwise it wouldn't fit.

Two bottles of wine were relatively more precious, and it was not good to be too blatant, so it had to be covered slightly.

He bought the boat the day before yesterday, and everyone still knew him. As soon as Ye Yaodong entered, someone asked him what he was doing again? It was the young policeman he chatted with the day before yesterday.

"Hello comrade, I'm here to distribute rice cakes to everyone. Today is a good day. The boat was driven back the day before yesterday. I set off two strings of firecrackers early this morning to get good luck, and sent rice cakes to relatives and friends. Thinking that without everyone making it convenient, I couldn't drive the boat home, so I specially rode a bike to send it to everyone, taste it, and share some good luck."

"It's not anything good, it's just a good meaning. Rice cake, rice cake, make a fortune every year, higher every year, and also wish you can go up to a higher level."

Ye Yaodong said while lifting half of the covered cloth, took a rice cake wrapped in newspaper for this young policeman, and handed over two packs of cigarettes.

"A little bit of heart, just mean it."

The young policeman took it happily. "You are quite intentional. Didn't you say it was Bai Sha Village the day before yesterday? Didn't expect to send it to the town specially. This rice cake is good. The town sends noodle tea cakes, not as good as your rice cake meaning."

"Just saying this meaning is good, make a fortune every year, section by section higher..."

Others also curiously surrounded him. Ye Yaodong had one for each, one rice cake per person, plus two packs of cigarettes.

The policemen in the office were all happy, eyebrows and eyes smiling, and their mouths also said good words like thanks and smooth sailing. The atmosphere was warm and noisy, which disturbed the office inside.

Both directors came out curiously.

"What are you doing? Is there anything happy?"

"Eh?"

"Hello, two leaders!" Ye Yaodong hurriedly stepped forward to bow, and expressed his intention, and thanked them by the way.

"Trouble the two directors, worked hard..."

Regardless of whether it was a matter of one sentence, or whether it was one person speaking or two people speaking, anyway, bring it along, it's definitely not wrong.

"Intentional, come into the office and talk."

"Hey, good, good."

Ye Yaodong carried the basket and followed. What he wanted was to go to the office to talk, otherwise how could he send gifts.

"Greetings, leaders!" Ye Yaodong hurriedly stepped forward to bow, stated his purpose, and took the opportunity to express his gratitude.

"Sorry to trouble you two directors, thank you for your hard work..."

Regardless of whether it was a matter of a single sentence, or whether it was one person speaking or two, he included both of them anyway; that way, he couldn't go wrong.

"You're very thoughtful. Let's go into the office to talk."

"Right, sounds good."

Ye Yaodong followed along, carrying the basket. Going into the office to talk was exactly what he wanted; otherwise, how could he give the gifts?
