Chapter 783: Asked Mazu

Ye Yaodong had only left for a little while before returning.

In just this short while, there were many more fishing boats at the shore, especially the small boats around the coast, almost all of which had docked.

A leaf-like flat boat was neatly arranged and drifting at the shore, and there was almost no place to step on the open space on the shore.

He looked around to find his father's position and saw at a glance that his father was surrounded by a crowd of people, looking like he was chatting happily with the people beside him. He slowly squeezed over.

"Father!"

"Oh, you're here. How is it over at the small workshop?"

"It's fine. Lin Xiuqing went to borrow nylon bags at noon and asked the two brothers-in-law to set up a frame to cover it in advance. It didn't get rained on, and it only rained a little in the afternoon at home, so it didn't affect anything."

"That's good."

Uncle Lin Jingye on the side smiled and said, "I think this rain shouldn't last long. Maybe it will clear up tomorrow. When the sun comes out and dries for two days, your goods will be dry."

Ye Fu nodded in agreement, "It would be good if it clears up tomorrow. Otherwise, a day without going out to sea is a day of loss. Recently, it's exactly the fishing season."

"Mm, I hope so. How was the harvest today, Uncle Lin?"

"Just like that, only half of yesterday's. So-so."

"Everyone is about the same. The rain is heavy outside, and it's a bit hard to see. It's better to come back early; it's safer."

Uncle Lin Jingye smiled and said, "Everyone is about the same, but compared to you, it's a big difference. Who dares to compare with you? You are really getting more and more capable. Seeing that you are more promising than anyone else, your father talks about you every day, and his mouth can't close from laughing."

"Haha, really or fake? I thought my father only knew how to complain when he opened his mouth."

"That's true, but can't I hear how proud he is in his complaints?"

Ye Fu's face couldn't hold it, "What are you saying? He's still young and doesn't know much. How can he know everything? Still need people to watch over him. Otherwise, if everyone praises him a little, he'll be able to go to heaven, and he won't even know his own surname."

"How could that be? I think Dongzi is very good. If my son were half as good as him, I would laugh until I woke up in my dreams. Look at all the young people in the village, who is as capable as him? Your family now has four boats, three of which are his alone. If he were my son, I would definitely beat gongs and drums to let everyone know."

"Don't talk nicely. It's your turn. It's all weighed in front. If you're not in a hurry, I'll go first."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm coming, I'm coming..."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Ye Fu, "You have too much quantity, otherwise I would let you go first. I'll be very fast, just a few baskets, about 300 jin, and a few baskets of other seafood."

The father and son moved their goods forward again.

Ye Yaodong saw that his eldest cousin and Brother Asheng were still there, so he quickly told them to go home first, "Just me and my father are enough here. Anyway, there's nothing left to do. Just sell the goods. You're just standing here. Better go home and take a shower. You were rained on earlier, and you're all wet. Don't catch a cold."

"It doesn't matter, still have to move things..."

"Just a few baskets of goods, move them twice and it's done. Why do we need so many people? Go back, it's okay, just me and my father are here."

"Then... then okay, we'll go back first."

"Mm, go."

The father and son continued to queue, occasionally chatting with people they knew. Everyone's words were asking if the dried fish and squid were affected by the rainy day.

Not everyone was hoping for someone to be unlucky; some were really concerned, but most were still gloating, but they hid it well.

Watching others earn large amounts of money, who wouldn't be sour?

They didn't wait long. After the person in front finished weighing, it was his turn. He first carried the bag that Lin Guangyuan picked up to weigh and asked A-Cai to list it separately.

Then he gradually lifted his own goods, stacked two or three baskets to weigh, and then deducted the weight of the baskets after weighing.

The quantity today was really small, only half of yesterday's. The two boats together were less than 700 jin, and the price was only 0.26 yuan.

"Falling really fast!"

Ye Yaodong folded the list and wanted to put it in his pocket, but thought about how he was wet from top to bottom, without a dry spot, so he could only pinch it in his hand.

"Falling price is a bad thing for others, but a good thing for you! Is the profit of drying it even bigger?" A-Cai said while weighing goods for others.

"Damn it! You think everyone is a fool? If it's cheaper, it must be sold cheaper. I only earn a little hard-earned money. You really think I made a big fortune? I'm still taking risks."

"Look at this rainy day, if it rains for a few days in a row, I'll lose everything."

"Sigh~ nothing to do, nothing to do, going to drink the northwest wind, what the hell am I doing, going home, going home~"

Ye Yaodong said as he walked out.

Crying poor is always right.

Singing about one's own decline is better than listening to others sing about it.

He told his father to go home and take a shower first, and he would push the cart back by himself.

It's still better at home. As soon as he got home, the three women in the family greeted him. From eighty years old to two years old, they were all full of him in their hearts and eyes.

As soon as he stepped into the house, he felt comfortable, and there was a smile on his face.

"My darling, your father is very dirty and wet, don't hug my legs."

"Fly, fly~"

Lin Xiuqing also picked up Ye Xiaoxi from his legs and smiled, "Wait for your father to finish his shower before he hugs you to fly."

Recently, Ye Xiaoxi was most enthusiastic about Ye Yaodong hugging her because he would fly her very high, which was so much fun.

The old lady also smiled on the side, "Hot water has been boiled early. You go take a shower and wash your hair first. You're all wet from the rain, don't catch a cold. Put Xiao Jiu down for me to watch. Lin Xiuqing, cook a bowl of noodles for Dongzi first. When he finishes his shower, he can just eat it to pad his stomach. It's this late and dinner hasn't been cooked yet."

"It's okay, keep the list, I'll go take a shower first." He said as he took off his clothes and pants.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the 690 jin and didn't say anything. On a rainy day, coming back early, a small quantity was normal.

She went into the room to get him clothes to change into, and by the way, put away the cargo list.

"A-Guang, did he come over this afternoon?"

"Not yet, maybe because it's raining, he'll be here soon."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Then it's dinner time later, he should come over to say something."

The old lady scooped hot water and said, "I went to ask Mazu this morning and did a divination. Mazu also said that you can buy this boat. Don't listen to your eldest brother, and don't believe your father."

He was pleasantly surprised, "Hey, good, believing in Mazu is right. Why didn't I think I should go ask Mazu? You are still smart."

"Hehe, how would you know, a young man? I was also worried. After hearing it yesterday, I couldn't sleep all night, and I didn't dare to say anything, afraid of delaying you from earning money. So I went to offer the first incense early this morning and asked Mazu by the way. Fortunately, Mazu said it could be bought."

"Mm, believing in Mazu can't be wrong. When I buy the boat and can earn a lot of money, I'll buy you... buy... buy what? Do you like watching TV? Or should I buy a black and white TV for you to watch?" Ye Yaodong said happily.

The old lady is still reliable!

Although he wasn't interested in TV and didn't like watching TV, and color TVs would come out in a few years, but there weren't any now. If he bought one, it would be rare for two years.

Being able to make the whole family happy, thinking about it, it was worth it. Whether he liked it or not wasn't important.

"Ah, don't!"

The old lady was so shocked that the small spoon fell into the circular boiling water hole in the earthen stove. Fortunately, she placed the basin on the stove, otherwise it would have been overturned.

She quickly grabbed his arm, "You must not spend money indiscriminately. That TV is very expensive. I don't like watching it. I just want to listen to operas and storytelling. I haven't even played enough with this radio. You must not buy other big lumps back, wasting money. Your money has great uses, can't buy indiscriminately."

"It's only 400 yuan, it's okay, not expensive."

"400 yuan, how is it not expensive? So expensive, you are not allowed to buy it? Not allowed to think blindly, otherwise Lin Xiuqing won't be angry, I will be angry, I will hit you."

Ye Yaodong smiled and didn't care, wanting to say wait until the big boat is bought and see. A-Guang hasn't even appeared yet, and he doesn't know if he has negotiated it down.

"Did you hear that? Don't joke with me, I'm telling you seriously. If you buy it back, I will... I will... I will move it and sell it to someone else."

The old lady grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go, insisting that he promise.

He had to smile and nod, "Okay, then I won't buy it first, buy the big boat first, and earn the money first."

"Right, this is right, money must be earned first, can't spend it first."

The old lady was satisfied, let go, and continued to scoop hot water again.

That circular hole was too small, and she could only use a small long spoon, scooping it slowly, one small spoon at a time.

After scooping it up, she let Dongzi carry the basin himself to mix in cold water. She took a large water ladle and scooped a large ladle of water to add in, making up for it.

When cooking dinner later, it would just happen to be boiled, and there would be hot water to use after dinner.

Ye Xiaoxi saw a basin of mixed water, quickly leaned over, stuck her butt out, and wanted to reach into it, but was directly lifted away by Ye Yaodong.

"You're everywhere, go, go, go, don't play with water."

She was lifted into mid-air, dancing and screaming.

Ye Yaodong put her into the playpen, and just as he turned around and sat down, ready to take a shower, he saw her nimbly climb out in two or three moves.

"Ah! How are you so capable?"

"She doesn't know how many times she climbs out in a day. This playpen is useless. I was planning to wash it when it's sunny and give it to Ye Huimei to use." Lin Xiuqing came out and happened to see it, saying.

"Okay."

"You take your shower, don't worry about her, I'll take her away."

The old lady quickly stepped forward, "I'll take her to the entrance to watch the chickens and ducks, you cook noodles for Dongzi first."

"Okay."

One old and one young, holding hands, both walking slowly and swaying toward the outside, not knowing who was holding whom. ===== CHAPTER 784 =====
