Chapter 876: Wanting to Follow the Trend

After he finished selling, he was surrounded by the villagers again, and as he moved forward, several people followed behind and beside him, all asking about the boat.

When did you order the boat?

How long did it take to start building after ordering?

How was the money paid?

After paying the money, what if there is any problem after delivery?

Does the Pei family's boat have to go out at night and won't return for several days?

After the big boat is in hand, do you plan to let the two boats at home go out like the Pei family?

A series of questions, everyone took turns asking, and his father also answered happily while walking, knowing everything and saying everything.

Ye Yaodong was also a bit curious. He wasn't at home yesterday when he went to the city, and he didn't know if A Guang's family had also had their threshold trampled.

However, looking at the enthusiasm of the villagers today, he estimated that everyone was just envious yesterday, and there shouldn't be many who wanted to follow the trend, just some were tempted. Today, after it was revealed that he also ordered a boat, it probably deepened their idea of wanting to follow the trend.

People all have a herd mentality.

After he returned home, the villagers who followed all the way also regretfully returned to their own homes.

As soon as Ye Yaodong stepped into the house, he asked Aqing while taking off his clothes, "As soon as I went ashore, I heard a bunch of gossip about me. Is my legend spreading in the village today?"

Lin Xiuqing squatted down to pick up the dirty clothes and pants he threw on the ground, put them in the washbasin at the very bottom of the washstand, and took out the washbasin above to draw water for him to take a bath.

"Isn't it? The day before yesterday, it was spreading how much money A Guang's family earned, how much family property they had, and how much their boats at home were worth. They also said our family really knows how to marry off a daughter, marrying Huimei to A Guang, and tying the two families together to make a fortune."

"The whole village just watched our two families make a fortune in succession, all saying our two families have such good luck, and they don't know which god they worship. Everyone worships Mazu, but they haven't seen anyone make a fortune like us."

"They also said that the big boat goes out at night and returns in a few days. Can it also earn so much?"

"Then early this morning, I went to the river to wash clothes and heard them start spreading about our family, saying our family will soon have a boat that big, and it will be in hand soon. When the time comes, our family will definitely earn money faster than A Guang's family, and we don't have to share it with others."

"Saying our family has shops, workshops, and three boats, and is also about to have a big boat. Saying that in the future, our family earning money will be as simple as drinking water."

"There were several relatives who came to inquire one after another. They all inquired how much our boat was bought for? Can so many boats be operated? Does the workshop at home have to be guarded by fixed people? You must have earned a lot of money in the past two years, right? Asking back and forth, it was all these, and there were also those who borrowed money."

"There was no proper reason, so I uniformly said that our fishing boat's final payment of 8,000 hasn't been gathered yet, and we have to borrow everywhere when the time comes. Let those who have the ability help."

"However, the eldest cousin from the second aunt's family said that her eldest son is going to high school in September, two are going to junior high, and one is in elementary school. The tuition at home is a large sum, and they can't gather it. I said wait until school starts, and we'll talk about how much is missing then."

Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement.

For those who want to eat the big household, just find a reason to prevaricate. But for children's schooling, you have to help, you can't let them not go because of a little tuition.

However, it's only July now. Isn't it a bit too early to come over now? When it really is missing, it won't be too late for them to help.

"Then wait until next month. If she comes to the door again, you see how much is missing, help, and fill the gap for her."

"I know."

"Where are the children? Why didn't I see them when I came back, and I didn't hear any movement at the door?"

"They all ran to the beach to play soccer. Didn't you see them when you came back? Basically, all the children in the village were there, a big group, noisy all day, from morning to night outside."

"No, when I came back, I was surrounded by a group of people, and I only cared about talking, so I didn't pay attention."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "They played for a day today. They couldn't be called back for lunch. It was so sunny, and I told them to play ball in the courtyard, but they wouldn't listen. It just so happened that it was low tide all day today, and they insisted on running to the beach to play soccer. Each of them was tanned black after a day."

"Today, I saw them fight several times. A group of people twisted together. After fighting, some left crying, but they came back after a while, and there were still so many people."

Ye Yaodong laughed loudly when he heard it, "Aren't children all like this? After fighting, they turn their heads and make up, not to mention there is a ball attracting them there."

Lin Xiuqing also felt it was funny, "When I called them back for dinner just now, they all said they were waiting for you."

"That sounds good, I haven't seen them say they were waiting for me normally. Did my daughter go too? Then she must be like charcoal?"

"When the sun was big, I carried her back. She was crying and making a scene, always wanting to plant herself on the ground. I almost couldn't hold her. I told her I would take her to find her cousin to play, and she stopped. Then just now, seeing the sun was about to set, I let her go to the beach to play for a while."

"Oh right, did you call your sister-in-law? Today is the first day of opening, how is the business? Did you call to ask?"

"No, isn't it because I thought it was only the first day? How can I call to ask if it's that much every day after working for a few more days. Calling now is too anxious, right?"

"What's the rush? Own eldest brother and sister-in-law, it's normal for you to care about them, go! It's not late yet, the village committee shouldn't be closed. If it's closed, you can knock on the door and see."

Ye Yaodong saw that she was still standing there, and urged again: "Hurry up, it'll be troublesome if you knock on the door after it closes later. By the way, go and call Dad and Mom to come over for dinner."

"Alright." Lin Xiuqing saw that he insisted, so she had to touch her pocket, and then walked out, but suddenly turned her head back, "Remember to call the children back for dinner after taking a bath."

"Hmm."

He was really curious, a small breakfast shop, how much money can it earn by opening in the market? Should be quite a lot, right?

In his previous life, a small breakfast shop on the roadside earned a lot of money. Should this kind of shop by the market be easier to earn?

He went through it in his mind and didn't struggle with it. Anyway, he would know when Aqing came back later.

After taking a simple bath and soaking his feet for a while, he went to the beach to look for people.

It was really that all the children in the village had come over. Some looked seventeen or eighteen and also ran over to join the fun, and kicked a few times by the way.

Ye Chenghu was jumping with anger there. So many people were fighting to kick, and he wouldn't have any to play with.

"I'm not playing with you guys anymore. There's a basketball at home. I'm going to play basketball alone. I'm not playing soccer with you guys. There are so many people, my foot hasn't even stretched out, and the ball has already flown."

He turned around angrily and happened to run into his father, and hurriedly complained again.

Just right, the ball flew toward their direction. A group of children, regardless of gender, all ran toward this side to grab the ball. Ye Yaodong hurriedly used his chest to block it, buffered it, and then used his knee to top it, receiving it in his hand.

Ye Chenghu jumped up happily, "Give it to me, Dad, give it to me, Dad."

Ye Yaodong patted away the hand he reached out, "What are you reaching for? I'm your father, there's nothing wrong with giving it to me. Let's go, go home for dinner. Look at how tanned you are? You're almost the same as your grandfather."

"Then I'll take it..."

He switched from his left hand to his right hand, just not giving it to Ye Chenghu to take.

"You guys also hurry home for dinner. Xiuxiu, you girls can jump rope or something. I also bought you rubber bands. Didn't you pick them yesterday? Isn't it more comfortable to jump rubber bands under the sunshade net."

"Hehe, soccer is also fun, there are so many people. We'll play jump rope and rubber bands at the door at night."

Ye Chenghai also ran to the front panting, "Third Uncle, my ball..."

"Everyone go home for dinner."

He didn't give it to anyone, directly detained it in his hand, and then hugged it in his arms. With the other hand, he also picked up Ye Xiaoxi who was hugging his thigh.

After standing up straight, it became him carrying Ye Xiaoxi, while Ye Xiaoxi was hugging a soccer ball that she couldn't even hug with both hands. Her eyes were also smiling into crescent shapes, her mouth was split wide, revealing her 8 teeth, and drool dripped onto the soccer ball.

Ye Yaodong chuckled and carried the child toward the house. The long string of children behind could only follow helplessly. The children living in the village also started running wildly toward the village.

At this time, many families in the village had already started eating. These children who ran to the beach to play ball couldn't hear the calling in the village. Each of them was playing happily and had long thrown the matter of eating to the back of their minds.

Going back now, they couldn't escape a beating.

Ye Yaodong didn't deliberately detain Ye Chenghai's ball. After walking to the door, he threw the ball to him and let him take it home.

Ye Chenghu also walked home regretfully, "Dad, if I had known, you should have bought me a soccer ball, not a basketball. The ground is all gravel, not easy to dribble the basketball."

"Dribble? Basketball is for you to play, not for you to dribble. It's not a rubber ball."

"Then how to play? If I play in the house, Mom will scold me, afraid I'll smash the pots, pans, and hot water bottles."

"See if there's time these two days, and ask your grandfather to weld an iron basketball hoop on the outer wall of the small house in the workshop. I'll teach you how to play and how to shoot later."

Ye Chenghu was happy, "Good, good, that one soccer ball is not enough for us to play. I didn't kick it a few times all day today, I was just running. If I take it to the workshop, no one else will run in, and the ground there is flat."

But you won't be able to show off anymore!

"Hmm, everyone go wash your hands and eat."

The two brothers hurriedly went to wash their hands, hoping to play for a while after eating quickly. Ye Xiaoxi also actively followed behind them to wash her hands. This was a legitimate opportunity to play with water.

It was just that after washing, the three children's hands were wet, and they splashed water on each other's faces while running, with laughter everywhere.

The old lady had already filled their rice, and waved to them with a loving face, "Don't play anymore, hurry up and eat." ===== CHAPTER 877 =====
