Chapter 862

It was rare to return early today. When he got home, he just caught up with dinner. It was also Chen Shi who pushed the flatbed cart back first, letting Lin Xiuqing know that they had already returned, so she specifically waited for him.

This way, the whole family could eat together without having to leave extra food for him.

He wasn't in a hurry to take a shower. He took off his clothes and pants, and sat at the table to eat in just his shorts.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but say, "Why does that friend of yours stutter so badly? He has to recite a character more than a dozen times before he can say the second one. It almost stunned me."

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I even imitated it for you to hear, and you didn't have any reaction at the time."

"How could I have imagined that he would stutter so severely? And you were imitating others on purpose, while he is a real stutterer. It feels different when you hear it."

"How is it different?"

"Anyway, I was dumbfounded when I heard it. I didn't know what he was going to say next. I could only listen to him patiently for a long time, laughing and crying, before he finished a sentence."

The old lady smiled and said, "Don't laugh at others. This stutter is not a big problem. As long as the person is good, it's fine."

Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement, "That's what I thought, so I brought him out to sea to take a look. He is quite diligent, much better than those fox friends of mine."

"Then he wants to be your little brother, shouldn't he perform well?"

"Ah, he wants to be your little brother? I said so, why did he suddenly cling to you, and didn't even want wages, and insisted on helping you work with a thick skin."

"Oh, don't say that, Mother. People climb to higher places. Knowing that I can earn money and accidentally meeting me, it's normal to want to hug a big thigh."

Ye's mother rolled her eyes, "You can't even manage yourself, and you want to manage a group of little brothers?"

"Alright, stop talking and eat more."

Really annoying.

Ye's mother also pouted. If he said stop, she would stop. She wouldn't care about him.

The whole family was used to the mother and son being like this. The atmosphere of the meal didn't change, still harmonious. They could also discuss a few sentences about how the crabs today were very meaty, how the small tube squids today all had rice in their bellies, and were very fat. If there were any tomorrow, they would keep two jin back.

"Did you bring some seafood back for Chen Shi?"

"Yes, I saw that the goods you kept back were more than usual, so I knew you must have wanted him to take some back. Anyway, we definitely couldn't finish it. I took a bucket and poured half for him, let him take it back first, and return the bucket to us when he comes over next time."

Ye Yaodong nodded. His wife was still quite good at handling people.

Ye's mother couldn't help but speak again, "Then are you still calling him tonight?"

"Probably. Once is a stranger, twice is an acquaintance."

However, when it got dark, a large group of them came over again. This time, they didn't stand at the corner of the wall and keep jumping up, but openly knocked on the door at the courtyard gate.

It was just that they were chased by the dogs in the house and jumped up and down. Fortunately, Ye Yaodong heard the movement and came out to save them.

"My pants were almost pulled down by them."

"Why did you come over again?"

"Hehe, we came to deliver firewood..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the flatbed cart of firewood behind them and was speechless.

"Too idle, right? Or tomorrow, push a flatbed cart of water over for me."

They happily agreed, "Okay, okay, we'll go fetch water in a while."

"Brother Dong, lend us the bucket."

"Yes, lend us the bucket, we'll push it to fetch water, and then push it back."

Ye Yaodong was helpless, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have a fart, let it out."

Wang Guangliang rubbed his hands back and forth, "I want to say, can you let us take turns following you out to sea? Or just follow along to take a look."

"Do you think going to sea is for fun? It's all for work. Don't think about it."

"No, we want to come and help. Otherwise, shall we go to the workshop to move things? Or when Brother Dong you dry fish, if you need someone to keep watch at night, call us?"

Ye Yaodong touched his chin. This was possible. Anyway, young people have endless energy, and staying up late day and night is nothing.

"This is possible, but will you steal from the workshop?"

"Absolutely not! I swear, I swear to Mazu, I swear to Guanyin Bodhisattva. If my own father and mother ask me to take it, I have to scold them a few times."

"Yes."

"Whoever asks me to take things home, I will scold them to death."

"How can my father and mother make me listen?"

"Did Brother Dong accept us?"

"No! Don't think too much. I just thought of calling you when needed. Anyway, I won't let you work for nothing."

Accepting little brothers would be too troublesome. Just pay for the work, no need to worry too much.

"Oh..."

"The workshop will be finished tomorrow, and the ground will be leveled. The work will be over. You don't need to do anything. Just leave it there and let the sun dry it for two days."

"After it's completely dry, I will arrange to dry fish. Then I will call you to watch the field. You go back and rest for two days first. Don't be too active. Just let Chen Shi go to sea with me these few days. No need to change people."

It hasn't been dried for almost half a month. After the ground of the small workshop is dry, it's time to arrange it, otherwise the inventory is not enough and it's almost not enough to supply.

Recently, Boss Zhou hasn't asked for dried fish. I don't know if he wants to avoid the limelight, or if he was caught, or if he hasn't sold it, or if he changed to another family. Never mind him, anyway, he doesn't worry about selling.

"Okay, okay."

Everyone was instantly satisfied. As long as they were arranged, waiting for a few days is fine. Anyway, after working for a long time, everyone knows they are Brother Dong's people!

In the future, they can walk out with their heads held high!

Chen Shi was also satisfied. He could continue to go to sea tomorrow.

Last night, he told his father and mother that he was going to sea with Salty Fish Dong from Bai Sha Village at night. His father and mother's originally impatient faces showed surprised expressions, thinking he was talking nonsense and lying to them.

Salty Fish Dong is now very famous in the surrounding villages.

Later, after explaining with great effort that Wang Guangliang introduced him, they believed it a little, but they also held the idea that he would definitely be sent back after one day of work.

After all, who would like a stutterer?

As parents, they are impatient when they hear him speak, wishing they could pretend he doesn't exist. When they call him to work, it takes a long time to finish a sentence when he replies.

They all felt that after contact, Chen Shi would definitely be sent back the next day, so they told him not to go.

Now that Brother Dong said he would call him for the next few days, Chen Shi giggled foolishly.

This is also the reason why he followed over without stopping after eating. He wanted to hear a definite word.

Now everyone is at ease.

Ye Yaodong let them unload the firewood, and took all the water buckets in the house to them, and put them on the flatbed cart.

Since they are here, let's fetch some more water, make the best use of everything.

But he won't distribute cigarettes today, so as not to let them get used to it, thinking that as long as they come to the door, there will be cigarettes. Anyway, he has already promised them that he will call them to watch the workshop in two days and calculate their wages.

Fortunately, a small room was built inside the workshop, which can shelter from wind and rain. In winter, you can sleep if you put a bed.

Lin Xiuqing saw that he really ordered these teenagers to fetch water and fill the water tank again, and she was convinced. She just nagged casually two days ago, and today he put it into actual action.

When she went back to the room and lay on the bed, she still nagged at him.

"If it's delivered to the door, don't use it for nothing. I'm so tired after returning from sea, and fetching water would be too inhumane and too much of a waste of talent. I can earn big money. If you want to be my little brother, then help me with the work at home first."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him and didn't answer his words, just said, "It's okay to hand over the workshop to them to watch. Before, I called those aunts to watch in turns, and I still saw them secretly taking squid dried fish home, and they were embarrassed to say it. I could only open one eye and close one eye."

"That can't be helped. Let's see if these people are honest. Anyway, the dried fish dried are not worth anything. They were just swearing and swearing just now. Let's believe it first. We must give a chance."

"You can handle it yourself. If it's reliable, at the end of next month or in August, you can take them to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish. Last year we only had one boat, this year our family has three boats. Although one boat is controlled by the eldest brother and the second brother, we still have to hire a few more people."

"At that time, there will definitely be boats in the village going with us, and Ah Guang's family also needs a lot of people. Everyone is calling for boat workers at that time. The people needed are too many, and crossing provinces is dangerous. It may not be so easy to call."

"These teenagers look like they can fight. In case of conflict with outsiders, teenagers can fight better than old people, and they may suffer less losses. Their legs and feet are also nimble, and they run faster."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "What you said makes sense. At that time, many people will definitely need manpower, and it will definitely not be easy to call. Let's observe first."

Last year, it was like guerrilla warfare. This year, who knows if people are vigilant. Catching them outsiders is more profitable than catching jellyfish.

"Then go to sleep early. You've been tired for a day, and you have to go out at night."

"Is the work at your eldest brother's house finished? When are you going to the city?"

"I don't know. A few days ago, he said these two days. I don't know which two days he said. He didn't call to say it. Fortunately, the eldest sister-in-law doesn't know. Otherwise, she would probably chase me and ask every day."

"Alright, if he comes over and talks about it, and confirms when to go to the city, tell me. I will also take time to go with him, and by the way, take Chenghu to play for half a day."

And by the way, collect a debt from the father-in-law. It's been more than half a month since I went to collect the debt, and a huge sum of money has accumulated.

Lin Xiuqing nodded, answered, turned off the light for him, and went out first.

For the next two days, Ye Yaodong took Chen Shi to fish calmly and peacefully, without any accidents.

On the third day, they were lucky enough to catch a whole net of large croaker. This made them both very happy. Chen Shi's stutter became even more severe. He could stop after a minute of saying the three words "large croaker".

The icing on the cake was that when their fishing boat docked, he also saw the large boat of Ah Guang's family with the three words "Harvest Number" engraved on it, which almost made him happy.

They went to sea for five days, and finally returned. I don't know how the harvest is.

Because the hull of the Harvest Number was too large and the draft was relatively deep, it couldn't dock and was still parked in the middle of the sea. He wasn't in a hurry to dock and steered the boat directly to meet it.

In a while, he might have to use his boat to help transport goods and dock.
