Chapter 773: Arrangement

He had heard too many such things in his previous life, and he was already a bit numb to them, unable to cause ripples in his heart.

But direct killing like this near the shore was relatively rare. Some were generally accidental killings, unless there was a grudge in the past, or they fought until they were angry. Generally, it was just a few curses, at most a fight, and then moving away the goods and valuable things.

Ordinary people are not that cruel. Everyone is a fisherman, everyone has a family, and they are not heinous people. How could they want someone's life as soon as they come up? Killing also requires courage.

Ye Fu shook his head after listening. "Still, the life is not hard enough."

"I don't know which village it is. I didn't hear any wind during the day. I guess the fishing boats just docked at noon or in the afternoon, so the rumors spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages."

"Such a big thing, it's just in the surrounding area, it spreads very quickly..."

"It's a pity, the money wasn't earned, and the life is gone..."

Ye Yaodong listened for a few sentences, then went into the house to the back door to take a bath, incidentally watching Ye Xiaoxi, not letting her make trouble, and also letting Aqing free her hands to help work. He didn't listen to their gossip all the time.

Listening to these things is not as happy as accompanying the children to play.

And Ye Xiaoxi was rarely obedient today, looking clean and white, and her clothes were also clean. This was simply rare. In the past, only the short while after getting up every morning was clean. The later the time, the dirtier she would get. Today, it looked like she had just taken a bath and was being watched very closely.

He took a bath at the back door, instructed her to be obedient, and she sat quietly on the threshold of the back door watching, making a kind father's smile ripple on his face.

It was just that there were always some inappropriate things that broke the harmony between father and daughter. From the room next door came the various pleas for mercy from Ye Chenghe, which were endless.

"Eldest brother, eldest brother, I was wrong, eldest brother..."

"Oh, brother~ it hurts~ don't hit me, ah ah ah, I'll fight you~"

"Ah ah ah~ oh oh~ mother~ mother~ father~ help, eldest brother is hitting me~"

"Ah, I'm going to beat you to death, oh oh oh~ I'm going to tell mother, let mother beat you to death..."

"Mother, eldest brother is going to beat me to death~ ah~"

Ye Yaodong listened speechlessly. These two brothers were almost beaten to death, and they had to stage such a scene every three days. Either they were being beaten, or they were fighting each other. The one boy and two girls next door in the second brother's house were still fine.

Sons are really here to collect debts!

Shaking his head, he took a bath by himself and let them fight slowly.

However, Ye Xiaoxi couldn't sit still out of curiosity. With wide eyes, she stumbled out.

"Where are you going? Two brothers fighting, what's there to see?"

"Ah brother~ brother~"

She said while stumbling toward the back door of the next door.

Ye Yaodong let her go. Anyway, she was right under his nose, as long as she wasn't being naughty and making trouble.

Ye Xiaoxi stood at the back door, holding onto the door frame, curiously watching the two brothers twisting and fighting together, calling out "ah ah ah" in her mouth.

The two brothers were fighting with great devotion, not caring whether anyone was watching outside. Anyway, as long as their mother didn't bring a whip to beat the pair, they wouldn't run away.

"Damn you, beat you to death, you snitch~ still dare to do it? Still dare to do it?"

"I just want to say it, I just want to say it, don't think that because you are my brother, you can hit me, ah ah ah, beat you to death, beat you to death~"

"Beat you to death, you snitch~"

"Ah~ ah~ ah~ ah ah ah~" Ye Xiaoxi was also calling out there, and she was getting more and more excited.

While calling, she suddenly clapped her hands, clapping higher and higher, and kept calling out in her mouth.

Ye Yaodong had originally thought that she was at most watching the excitement there, and calling "ah ah" was to persuade them to fight. Unexpectedly, she was cheering!

He thought, if this child could speak, she would probably be shouting "come on" there now?

Ye Xiaoxi clapped her hands harder and harder, her whole body swaying, her mouth kept shouting, and saliva was dripping down. Mainly, her eyes were still shining brightly.

Obviously, she was watching the excitement and not afraid of things being big.

"Come back, be good!"

"Ah ah~ brother~ brother~" She stopped clapping, but her hands were still clinging to the door crack, reluctant to leave.

"Let them beat each other to death."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he poured out the water in the basin, threw the towel in, and then went over to lift the child up and tuck her under his arm.

"Sister-in-law! Take such a long stick... hit lightly..."

Before his words fell, the two brothers who were fighting inextricably on the ground and rolling around separated instantly, and ran directly toward the back door, rolling and crawling.

Ye Chenghai ran in front, and didn't forget to pull Ye Chenghe's clothes. "Run quickly~"

The two stumbled past him, without even looking back. They didn't even think about why there was no scolding behind them?

Two idiots!

Neither is intelligent, the IQ of the brothers is about the same as fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps.

"Ah? Ah... ah..." Seeing the two brothers run away, Ye Xiaoxi also turned her body and pounced in that direction, calling out at the same time.

Ye Yaodong almost didn't hold her well and let her pounce on the ground. Don't look at this little fatty who is only a year old, her weight is not light, and she is fleshy all over.

"Stop calling, they've run far away, you have to join in every excitement, go home and eat."

She still stretched her neck and looked out unwillingly, until she was carried back to the room, and then she didn't look anymore.

The whole family, just him and his father had just returned, and hadn't eaten yet.

He put Ye Xiaoxi into the standing cage and went to serve rice for himself, but unexpectedly, with a turn, one of her feet was already out, propped on the standing cage.

Ye Yaodong was scared and hurriedly put down his rice bowl, lifted her out, and put her on the ground.

This ground was a gravel and yellow mud ground. Although it wasn't like the dirt road outside, it was also a bit pitted. If her head hit the ground, with her delicate skin and tender flesh, her head would definitely break and bleed.

"Why are you so naughty? You can't stand for a moment, and you want to climb out."

"Ah? Ah? Pa... pa..."

Ye Yaodong looked at her innocent eyes and felt helpless. He could only let her play on the ground by herself.

It's really a sweet burden.

Although he is very tired every day, seeing such a little guy being naughty and making trouble when he comes back is also very healing.

It's fortunate that she was born.

Ye Yaodong held his rice bowl and looked at Ye Xiaoxi walking here and there with a smile on his face. Seeing the fire tongs standing in front of the stove, she pulled them out and dragged them on the ground to play.

"Da, da, da~"

Four small teeth were exposed, shouting fierce words, looking at Ye Yaodong's mouth splitting wide, and he smiled knowingly.

Ye Fu also came over after taking a bath at this time. As soon as he entered the house, he broke the warm atmosphere.

"Dongzi, are you going to let Boss Zhou come to pick up the goods tomorrow? I see these squid dried fish are already 70-80% dry. Tomorrow, dry them for another half day, and it will be enough. This is only 300-something jin dried on the first day. Will it be too little? Do you want to save it for two more days?"

"Can't save it. After drying tomorrow, call him to come and take it away directly. Taking it away early can also get market feedback early, and taking it away early can also sell for a high price."

"You have to know, this squid drops in price day by day, and the later it gets, the cheaper it becomes. I can't save a thousand jin and then call someone to take it away, right? Then how cheap will the price be later? Then how much should I sell it for?"

"This price also has to change with the market. In the market, it drops day by day, so the price of our dried ones can't be the same as the original one."

Ye Fu nodded, also feeling that what he said made sense. The expensive price and the cheap price, the dried ones definitely can't be sold at the same price.

When it's expensive, it must be sold early and sold for a high price. Otherwise, if it's left until the price becomes cheap later, selling it for a high price won't be appropriate. The boss definitely pays attention to the market's fresh price. If it's sold cheaply, he will lose money himself.

"That works too. Anyway, we don't need to pay for the car fee. Just notify him to come and collect it. Just in time, the dried fish can also be collected tomorrow. Although it's only 500 or 600 jin, you can also ask if they want it?"

"Our car fee and their direct pickup have nothing to do with each other. We send it to the city, and when we come back, we can also bring a cart of fish goods back to slaughter, so we won't run for nothing and spend an extra car fee."

"Then will you call after you finish eating?"

"Yes."

"Then eat quickly. While the sky isn't dark yet, although the village committee is off work, the old uncle who guards the door is still there. Go early, and you can still make it in time to call and make an appointment for a time to collect the goods. We have to tell people in advance and let them arrange it early."

"Last time I saw such a big Liberation truck drive to our village to collect goods, this definitely isn't on call. It should be on the way, you have to say it in advance."

"Also, we won't be at home tomorrow, you also have to instruct your wife well, treat the visitors well, and remind her of the agreed price, don't sell it wrong."

"It's fortunate that your wife is literate, has read books, and can use an abacus. If you are not at home, your wife can arrange it for you." Ye Fu sighed.

Ye Yaodong also felt the same. There are very few literate women in the village. Most of them have only attended a literacy class for a few days and can probably recognize a few characters, which is not as good as him. At least he insists on reading the newspaper every day.

If he goes out by boat every three days, the small workshop at home will definitely have to be handed over to Aqing to manage. This is inevitable.

Tomorrow, it can be used for her to practice, let her hand over the goods once, and learn to be a boss lady!

"I'll go right away," he quickly shoveled the bottom of the bowl a few times and put down the bowl and chopsticks. "Xiao Jiu, watch for me." ===== CHAPTER 774 =====
