Chapter 857: Fulfilling a wish

~15 min read 2,950 words

Because he was thinking of bringing a television set back for Ah Guang, he didn't intend to pedal a bicycle when he went, and didn't need to bother tying the basket to the back seat of the bicycle. He pushed the flatbed cart and set off directly.

Since he was already back, he had to call Chen Juzhang to thank him first, and also let people know that he had returned yesterday.

Although he was perfectly fine even without anyone's phone, people had the heart to help after all.

After making the call, he stepped onto the main road.

Ye Yaodong looked at a tractor rumbling past on the side, bringing up rolling exhaust and dust, and cursed in his mouth.

"Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have cared about it. If I had ridden a bicycle, I would have arrived at the town long ago. Now I have to eat a mouthful of dirt and exhaust."

"And have to walk for a long time back and forth!"

"When I come back, watch me blackmail you hard, go to your house and move watermelons hard..."

Looking at the town in the distance, he stopped, took a hot corn out of the basket, and gnawed on it.

This was just picked by the old lady in the morning. She boiled a big pot, intending to let the children eat it as a snack. It just happened that he came out, so she gave him two to eat on the road.

After walking for a while, he was already hungry, so he took it out to pad his stomach.

There were also a few tomatoes picked by hand in the basket. After eating the corn, he could eat a few more tomatoes to quench his thirst.

"Woof woof~"

"None for you, stay honestly, otherwise get down and walk yourself."

He also brought two of his dogs out.

Before, as soon as he pushed the flatbed cart, these two dogs immediately jumped up. The other dogs were a step slow and didn't catch up, so he scolded them away.

It was agreed yesterday that if there was a chance, he would take them out to play again, so he simply brought these two agile ones, and by the way, see if they could steal a seed. It just happened that both were female.

He was also raising dogs for the first time, and they were all free-range. He didn't manage them at all, and didn't know if they were in heat. It was said that they were in heat in spring and autumn, so he could only try his luck. Otherwise, it could be considered taking them out to play.

After Ye Yaodong went to the town, he wasn't stingy, bought canned goods according to the number of people, plus a ratio of two packs of cigarettes per person.

The big caps at the Border Defense Station were also very surprised to see him come to the door again.

In their hearts, they were also slandering that he really didn't treat himself as an outsider. Some people would even deliberately walk around their door, but he actually just went back yesterday and came over again today.

"Hello comrades, thank you for your hard work, I'm here again~" Ye Yaodong carried the pole and walked in directly.

"Why are you here again? You just went back yesterday, and you ran over again today. Didn't stay enough?"

Gao Jianshe could be considered an old acquaintance with him. When he came over for the first time, he was the one who opened the door, and he was also the one who went to bring people over yesterday. He took the lead to ask.

"It's like this, our new boat returned at dawn today, so I came over to send rice cakes again."

"Another new boat? Really? Don't you deliberately make up a name just to send gifts?"

"What are you saying? How can this deceive people? Comrade Gao Jianshe can just flip through the calendar and know that today is the Summer Solstice, a very good day. I saw people getting married on the way here."

"How many boats do you have? Didn't you just open a boat back a while ago? Now you have another boat. Got rich?"

"Hehe, the new boat that returned today is relatively large, 26 meters. It's a partnership with my brother-in-law and my second brother."

He wouldn't talk about other boats, to avoid too many, shocking their jaws. The persona of an ordinary poor fisherman who understands human feelings was his persona.

Gao Jianshe was surprised. "Good guy, such a big boat, just the equipped facilities, adding up seven or eight, should also be ten thousand yuan, right? Your family is so powerful?"

"Mainly because there are many partners, it's okay to share it. My brother-in-law has a larger share, I just joined in casually, not occupying much."

"No wonder when I went to your house yesterday, I also heard villagers in your village discussing there, saying whether someone was jealous that you would have a big boat again soon..."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Right, exactly. So today is really to send rice cakes, and also let everyone share in the good fortune, to prosper all the way, prosper every day, and rise step by step."

"Good, good, good, you have a heart."

"Should be."

Ye Yaodong first pushed a basket to their office desk, then distributed them one by one, chatted a few words, and after finishing the ones outside, he went to send the share for the two big bosses inside the office.

After getting it done, he originally wanted to find Gao Jianshe to inquire if he could buy another television set, but seeing people busy with things there, he hesitated again.

This was the Border Defense Station brigade after all, not a supply and marketing cooperative. Doing this every three days was also too unpleasant. It wasn't that he could buy it whenever he wanted to come.

And even if people really let him hold one back, that was also looking at other people's face, not his face. His face wasn't that big. This was all consuming other people's face feelings.

Thinking about it this way, it was indeed a bit not very good.

What's more, things shouldn't happen three times. Instead of waiting for others to knock, it's better to be smarter yourself, and less trouble for others. Many feelings are slowly worn away little by little.

Ye Yaodong stood and thought for a while, and directly withdrew the idea of helping Ah Guang buy a television set.

Talk about it when there is a chance, when the time, place, and people are right. Originally, it was to visit and thank, and send some things in the name of a new boat. If he said he wanted to buy a television set after sending it, it would be too deliberate and the purpose would be too strong.

Seeing him standing in place, Gao Jianshe smiled and asked again, "Want to go sit over there for a while? Did you bring a cup?"

"No, I'm here to send things, what cup to bring? I'm not here to work and drink tea. Now that I've sent it, I'm leaving."

"What's the rush? Didn't you just come? Rest for a while, it should take an hour to walk from the village to the town, right?"

"Not resting. Take advantage of the fact that it's not noon yet and hurry back. Otherwise, the sun will be bigger and more exposed in a while. Going back now is just in time for lunch."

"That works, then you go back early."

He also greeted others, and then left with the dogs first.

Out of the 500 yuan brought out in his pocket, except for spending tens of yuan to buy cigarettes and canned goods, he also secretly smuggled private goods, bought ten bottles of soda, intending to go back to reward the children.

On a hot day, having a bottle of soda couldn't be more beautiful. It's a pity there was no refrigerator, otherwise it would be even more refreshing if it were iced, cool to the heart.

Ye Yaodong looked at the pushed flatbed cart, frowned, sighed, and resignedly pushed it back.

If he had known, he would have ridden a bicycle, faster and without walking. It was hot and exposed to the sun.

Just as he was pushing the flatbed cart on the road, looking around, wanting to find a place with shadows, there wasn't even half a tree on the road, and he could only be exposed to the sun. A middle-aged man around 40 years old walked towards him and called him with surprise.

It was Chen Jianian.

It was really quite surprising. He didn't know how many times he had come to the town, and had never met him, but met him unexpectedly today.

The two hadn't seen each other since returning from Zhejiang Province last year. They were quite enthusiastic now, and even invited Ye Yaodong to his house to sit for a while.

Ye Yaodong refused directly, only saying he was in a hurry to go back.

It wasn't convenient to talk while exposed to the big sun. They just chatted casually for two sentences, and then separated.

After returning home, Ye Yaodong gave the remaining money to Aqing, explained the matter of not buying the television set, and then told Aqing about meeting Chen Jianian on the road.

"You were wearing a sun hat, and he could still recognize you?"

"Then I wasn't wearing it all the time. There were so many people on the street. I got on the main road, and only wrapped my head when there was no one, otherwise I would have been pointed at."

"That's quite a coincidence."

"Yeah, talked for two sentences, asked me if I planned to go to Zhejiang Province to fish for jellyfish this year. If I go, remember to call him, and I agreed. Then chatted for a few sentences, the sun was too exposed, so I left."

"Anyway, there is a phone number, just contact in advance when the time comes."

"Hmm, why don't I see the few little rabbits?"

Not being surrounded and surrounded by them when he came back, he was really not used to it for a while. He even specially bought soda for them.

"Went out to play crazy for a while in the morning. Only at 8:30 did they each take a corn to school to get their report cards. They haven't come back yet. I don't know if they did too poorly and didn't dare to come back."

"Then it should be fast, it's almost meal time. Leave it for them to eat with rice."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the soda placed on the whole table and didn't say anything. Her hands were loose, so let him buy it if he wanted to.

Just finished paying the final payment for the big boat, they still had about 20,000 yuan in cash on hand. Next, except for settling the wages for the workshop side, and the delivery of their own boat, which needed a large amount of money, they really didn't have other places to spend big money.

Originally, eating and drinking in the countryside didn't cost much money. Places to spend money generally were satisfying personal desires, buying those big items. Their family could now be said to lack nothing.

Now the shops in the city, and the fishing boats at home, had money coming in continuously. Lin Xiuqing was not so anxious about money anymore, it's just...

"The children haven't even gotten their report cards yet, and I don't know if they did well or badly, but you bought soda back. People who don't know would think it's rewarding them in advance."

"It's not wrong either. Reward them. How well they performed a few days ago, even knowing to go smash glass, and yesterday they were reluctant to part, didn't love them in vain..."

"Daddy... Daddy... Mom... I scored 100 points! I scored 100 points..."

The person hadn't arrived, but the sound arrived first. The couple heard the excited sound from outside in the room, and didn't know how far away they started calling, and hadn't even reached the courtyard door.

Ye Yaodong looked outside, walked to the door, and only then saw them running in from the courtyard.

"Third Uncle, I also scored 100 points..." Ye Chenghai also ran to him with his test paper in a hurry.

Other children were the same, everyone holding their papers high, all in high spirits.

Ye Chenghu turned his head unhappily and shouted: "This is my daddy, you guys go back to your own homes."

"Ah, my daddy isn't home, show Third Uncle first."

Ye Yaodong: "Then your mom will be pissed off, hurry up and go home first, come over later, otherwise you'll be beaten again."

"Then I'll come later!"

Others also hurriedly turned around and went home first. Staying at Third Uncle's house every day, it was too smooth. As soon as they got their report cards, they ran over to share them first, forgetting to go home first.

After others left, Ye Chenghu excitedly took the test paper to show his daddy. "I scored 100 points in math!"

Ye Yaodong happily took the test paper and flipped through it. All were checkmarks, no crosses, and the 100 points written on top were genuine, all solid, without adding anything extra himself.

"Not bad! How about Chinese?"

His shoulders slumped. "Missed one, I took off the two dots on top of the u, only 98. Daddy, can you count both of mine as 100 points? Just missed a little bit, I just filled it in."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows. "This can still be filled in? It was agreed that two 100 points could take you to the city to play. You are not up to standard."

Ye Chenghu said pitifully: "Just missed a little bit, a tiny bit. Better than last time, already have one 100, Daddy, you accommodate a little..."

"Ah! There is soda!" Ye Chengyang ran into the room and found a pile of soda placed on the table, shouting excitedly.

Ye Xiaoxi ran around with them for half a day, her cheeks were also red from the sun, and she followed and climbed up with hands and feet.

Ye Chenghu immediately stretched his neck, really wanted to rush in, but still felt that going to the city was more important, so he tightly stuck his feet to the ground and didn't move.

"Daddy..."

"Daddy~ Brother~"

Ye Xiaoxi raised her two hands high, intimately took a bottle of soda for each of them, and her two little grape-like eyes looked at this one, then looked at that one.

Ye Yaodong patted her head and said gratified: "I won't drink, you drink, your brother won't drink either."

"I want to drink..."

"Then do you still want to go to the city!"

"Want!" Super loud!

"Can, then you can't drink soda, just treat it as a punishment for you missing two points, check more carefully next time."

Ye Chenghu looked at the soda in his hand reluctantly, and then decisively returned it to Ye Xiaoxi.

"Brother won't drink, you drink!"

Ye Xiaoxi hugged both bottles in her arms, nodded happily, and then ran in excitedly to find Lin Xiuqing to open them.

Ye Chenghu looked at her back, licked the corner of his mouth, and asked expectantly: "Daddy, then when will you take me? I'm already on vacation, I have time every day."

"You have to wait until I have time. Look at these two days, your eldest uncle should also go to the city in these two days, let's go together then."

"Then can we buy the soccer ball together when we go to the city."

"Can, I'll take you to pick it then."

Just happened to handle everything promised to the children for them, to avoid them always shaking in front of him, reminding him in various ways.

"Great! Daddy, you are the best daddy!"

Ye Chenghu jumped three feet high with joy. He knew it, just missed two points, his daddy would definitely agree.

On the way back, he had already thought about it, and had discussed it with Ah Hai and the others.

If he didn't agree, he would lie, lie on the floor in various ways, pester his daddy to death every day, his daddy would definitely agree.

Now it's great, his daddy is the best daddy in the world!

Thinking about it for a whole year, finally can go to the city, happy to death, he immediately ran out to share next door.

Who knew it would lead the wolf into the room, everyone ran to his house, and then the soda that was originally on the table was divided up instantly.

Instantly made him want to cry without tears. Originally, he thought about agreeing first. With so much soda, Yangyang and his sister definitely couldn't finish drinking it. Mom definitely wouldn't give them so much to drink at once, at most one bottle a day.

When he bought the soccer ball from the city, he would have more to drink, having both fish and bear's paw.

"This was bought by my daddy..."

He tried to struggle to the death, but unfortunately, the father's heart was like iron.

"It's okay, divide it up, anyway, there's no share for you..."

Heart-piercing!

Ye Chenghu stared at the group of brothers and sisters who were eating his family's things again, and the boat of friendship capsized instantly. ===== CHAPTER 858 =====
