Ye Chenghang also rarely stood on the side, hands on hips and shouted loudly: "Why don't you go to school quickly?"

He still held a grudge against his brother for causing him to be beaten together the day before yesterday.

"None of your business."

"If you don't go to school, you'll eat the whip."

"Believe it or not, I'll let you eat my fist first."

Lin Xiuqing knocked on his head again, "Capable? Go to school quickly, look at you, still want to get 100 points, thinking about playing all day, didn't see you touch books or pens every day when you come back, counting on your younger brother and sister is about the same."

It was just at the beginning, doing homework as soon as he came back, and could rarely listen to a few recitations, later it was just like that.

"Cut~ I will definitely get 100 points, I must go to the city to play."

"Don't just open your mouth, go quickly."

"Brother Ahai and the others are not ready yet."

"Can't you go by yourself? Playing and fighting together all day, ten minutes of road takes half an hour."

At this time, someone next door shouted Ye Chenghu's name, Ye Chenghu quickly responded, "Here! Hehe, I'm leaving first!"

After speaking, he immediately rushed to the entrance.

A large group of children ran to the big road, playing and fighting, and the dogs around the small workshop also followed them barking, a group of people and a group of dogs playing and walking.

Ye Chenghang stretched his neck, couldn't help but feel a bit envious, but thinking of his brother doing homework bitterly every night, and the brothers and sisters next door being beaten by whips every three days because of poor grades, forget it.

He had turtles, puppies, and little friends at home, could go up the mountain and down the sea, nothing to envy.

"Mother, I'm going to play too."

"Don't play with water, don't step on puddles."

"Know it."

Children in this era are so easy to raise, don't need to manage much, anyway, when it's dinner time, they will naturally come back to eat. Ye Xiaoxi also has the old lady watching in the courtyard, Lin Xiuqing also went to help put away the nylon bags.

When Ye Mu came back at noon, she asked her to borrow a flatbed cart and pushed it to the village committee to return it.

However, on the way, she heard some gossip, nothing more than it's sunny, going to earn money again, and all the money was earned by your family, etc., sour words.

Ye Mu sometimes spoke very sharply, and when she heard something unpleasant, she returned it.

She smiled and stood in the middle of the road and said: "Yes, it's cleared up, isn't it going to earn a lot of money? Two days ago, everyone was laughing at my family for tossing around, saying the dried fish and squid would stink, would lose everything, would lose the bottom pants."

"Also said what tossing around, these people are really looking at others not well. Pity, the heavens are open-eyed, and will not let people with bad mouths and black hearts succeed. My family's dried fish and squid are very good. Today, the sun is so big, maybe it will be dry tomorrow, and can sell a lot of money again."

"Oh my, my son is going to be unable to count the money. I heard that rich people's money is deposited in the post office to earn interest. This has money coming in, and don't have to be worried about by thieves at home. I have to tell him, sell the money and deposit it in the post office quickly, saving the village from having people who don't want us well, and having crooked ideas."

"His two boats were bought really well, really right, just in time for the fishing season, earn a good sum, and the capital can be earned back. Sigh, he is tired, but who told us to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the sea to eat the sea."

"This son of mine is also getting more and more diligent. How to say that sentence, the prodigal son returns, the heavens are still open-eyed, knowing what kind of people can get rich, what kind of people can't get rich."

"His sea luck is also stronger than others, with Mazu's blessing, this is life-long wealth. Sometimes people compare with people, it's really annoying, can't compare, he is born, everything is stronger than others~"

Lin Xiuqing saw her mother-in-law getting more and more triumphant, dancing with joy, talking and laughing, and quickly pulled her clothes.

"Hurry up and send things back first, Mother?"

"Hey, good, thanks to Lin Xiuqing borrowing this plastic film a few days ago, my family's dried fish and squid, not a drop of rain, very good..."

"Ah haha, don't say it, don't say it, there are still a lot of things waiting for us to be busy after the rain clears, have to turn over those dried fish, dry them a bit more, so that they can sell for money tomorrow."

Ye Mu was full of smiles, quickly waved to the women on the side of the road, and by the way, grabbed the work of pushing the cart from Lin Xiuqing.

"I'll push, I'll push, you will be busy later, I'll do this little thing, you are busier than me every day..."

After walking a short distance, Ye Mu said with disdain: "These aunts and sisters-in-law usually talk the most, don't look at them smiling and praising people in front, behind their backs, they don't know how much they hope you are unlucky."

"Two days ago, when I passed by, I heard them talking there, saying that we deserved to dry so much, now it's good, it rained, the heavens want to take back the money approved for Dongzi, what bamboo basket draws water in vain, etc..."

"After seeing me, one by one they laughed and didn't dare to speak, immediately opened the topic to talk about other things, almost didn't make me angry. Some people just don't want others to be well, watching people earn money is more uncomfortable than their own loss, just have to sour them to death."

"You also pay attention in the future, don't be carried away when you hear people say a few good words, people just speak nicely in front, who knows if the heart is black or red, this is not your own family, what is said is also polite, just listen to it."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, she also knew that her mother-in-law was a straight-talking person, "Hey, good, I know, Mother. But Mother, we don't have to be so straightforward, saying too much will also attract jealousy..."

"I don't say it, people will also be jealous, how can I say a few words to attract red-eye disease. Our family has such a big workshop there, that large piece of dried fish is drying there every day, and three boats, everyone in the village now knows your family has money."

"We have to get an image that is not easy to mess with, saving everyone from treating you as a soft persimmon, scold back when you should, show off when you should, let them sour to death. Who is a fool? Humph, let them say sour words, then sour enough!"

"These people can't do anything to us, at most they just say sour words, the mouth is on people, can't not let people say, but we heard it, if the heart is not happy, then she shouldn't be happy either."

"It's okay, don't take it to heart, just a few words, making others unhappy is better than making yourself unhappy."

After Ye Mu finished speaking, she pushed the cart and walked, Lin Xiuqing had to follow.

She actually thought about being low-key, saving from attracting jealousy and being sabotaged, but thinking that their family couldn't be low-key, in the same village, fellow villagers, everyone sees what they do.

Still like her mother, happy, passed the mouth addiction first.

After returning the cart of nylon bags, and returning the cart, Lin Xiuqing patrolled the small workshop again.

One and a half acres of land is not big, but not small, their village is just a small village on the side of the road, and the land in the village is also limited.

There is no house built in the small workshop, all are open spaces, a large piece of dried fish and squid, these are all concentrated in one piece, looking quite spectacular.

She just turned around and looked at it randomly, walking and stopping, and spent an hour.

After half a day of drying, some moisture on the surface had also dried up, at least the surface layer felt a bit dry.

It was just that in this hot day, it was quite attracting mosquitoes and flies, squid was okay, but the dried fish was flying everywhere, looking a bit disgusting.

Fortunately, her two sisters-in-law saw the sun this morning and came over immediately. Now the four brothers and sisters-in-law have nothing to do and are holding palm tree leaves to drive away flies, which is a bit better. Drying these things in the summer is inevitable.

In the past, in the village, only in autumn and winter would every household dry in large quantities, they have no way to earn money.

When the outer wall is built, the fishing nets that were surrounded there will be dismantled, and they can be used to cover the dried fish, blocking flies, and looking more hygienic.

After greeting her brother and sister-in-law, let them look at the situation, help turn over the dried fish and squid, she went back first, and a batch was also dried at the entrance and in the courtyard.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally strong, making people feel a bit tired.

When she got home, she saw Ye Xiaoxi lying on the recliner that the old lady usually used, sleeping, under the eaves at the entrance, and the old lady sat beside her, holding a cattail fan and fanning her one by one.

And Ye Yaodong was sweating like rain in the scorching sun at sea. The sun has the benefits of the sun, and the bitterness of the sun. Being a fisherman is not so easy.

"Come, come, come, don't cast that net yet, I'm too heavy here, come and help, don't know how much this net has."

"Good, good..."

Ye Yaodong felt the heavy pulling force on his hand, and quickly called his eldest cousin to help, "Haven't pulled such a heavy one for so many days."

"It's heavy enough."

"Oh damn, it's a dolphin, this damn thing, how did it get into the fishing net, and two of them."

Just pulled the fishing net out of the water a little, and saw the dolphin skin exposed under the water, which made him depressed.

"Pull it up first, this should be a mother and child."

"There are quite a lot of dolphins, can see a few every three days."

No matter how many, it's not enough for the little days to kill.

The two of them spent nine bulls and two tigers to pull up the cargo of this net, and then immediately threw the big and small dolphins back into the sea.

"Damn it, occupied my net time."

"Hehe, there will always be accidents, I continue to cast the net." Let the cousin wipe the sweat on his face and continue to work.

Ye Yaodong also sorted out the fishing net, drank some water, and planned to continue working.

No one cared about the two dolphins released. Some people will catch, some people will release, he is not the first time to release, quite indifferent.

However, just as he cast a net and hadn't pulled it up, he saw many white floating objects suddenly appear on the sea not far away.
