Chapter 88: Pleasing the Wife

~8 min read 1,487 words

Seeing a large pot placed at the door of the shop in front, frying Minnan Lake, he stopped again. The old lady loved eating Minnan Lake.

"Boss, pack a bowl of Minnan Lake for me."

"Give me the lunch box!"

"Ah?"

He didn't bring a lunch box!

"Forget it, next time!"

After looking around the street, he didn't see any cloth for sale. He asked a passerby and found out that the cloth shop was in the alley.

According to what his wife said, he pulled a piece of dark blue and a piece of dark gray, 2 meters of thin cotton cloth each.

Men's clothing fabric didn't have any patterns, women's looked like there were many.

He scanned a circle, all kinds of colorful fabrics, which were very popular at this time.

Thinking that his wife also wore black, gray, and blue every day, and didn't seem to have any decent clothes, he risked being scolded and said, "Boss, give me 2 meters of this yellow floral one too."

"Comrade has a good eye. This is a new type of Dacron, good to wear and wear-resistant, and the color is bright..."

It's okay. At this time, the whole street is wearing gray, and this floral cloth is indeed good-looking.

He happily held the cut cloth in his arms and didn't plan to stroll anymore. Strolling would definitely cost money. Buying these back would already be scolded.

Finally, he didn't have to make it difficult for himself to walk back. In this hot weather, he was almost sunburned.

As soon as he got on the small bus, people kept carrying peanuts, melon seeds, all kinds of pastries, and oil cakes to sell on the bus. It was scattered, and quite a few people bought them.

The bus was also full of all kinds of baskets and shoulder poles. Many were selling goods early in the morning, and there were all kinds of food smells and sweat smells, as well as the fishy smell of seafood. It was so complicated. Fortunately, he sat by the window, and opening a small gap to blow the wind was better.

【To tell the truth, I have been using Wild Fruit Reading to catch up on books recently. The source switching is good, the reading tone is many, and. yeguoyuedu is available for both Android and Apple.】

After it was full, the bus moved.

Because it was a village-town small bus, people kept getting on and off along the way, stopping and going.

After swaying for about ten minutes, he arrived at the entrance of the village. Ye Yaodong shouted, and the bus stopped here.

He carried the bucket and went directly home. He happened to see his mother carrying food and disappearing at the intersection. He didn't have time to call her.

As soon as he entered the house, a pile of children were eating at the table. Only Ye Chengyang was sitting on his younger sister's lap, letting her feed him. The old lady was picking vegetables for the children.

"Third brother is back?"

"Third uncle is back~"

"Dad~"

"Finished eating? Just right to add a meal for you!"

Ye Yaodong tucked the cloth under his arm, dug into the bucket for oil cakes, a paper bag, and placed them on the table one by one. The children's eyes lit up instantly, and they climbed off the stools one by one and ran over, shouting.

"Oil cake~"

"Oil cake~"

"So fragrant~"

"Third uncle is amazing!"

Ye Huimei looked at them, each holding one and gnawing, and glared. "Third brother, did you get rich? Bought so many, aren't you afraid of Third Sister-in-law scolding you? If Mother sees it, she will definitely take a whip to whip you."

"No, I sold the goose barnacles for a good price this morning, so I thought of bringing one for each of you."

Ye Huimei took the conversation. "Really or fake? Isn't that Buddha's hands? And someone listened to your lie?"

This made Ye Yaodong unhappy. "What's called a lie? It's that you don't recognize the goods, and I met someone who knows the goods."

"Then how much did you sell it for? Such a big hand!"

"Don't tell you!"

"Cut~ at most ten yuan!"

He was a little proud. "The pattern is small!"

"More than that?" Ye Huimei looked at him unexpectedly.

"Hehe, eat your meal, is there any left in the pot?"

"No, Mother calculated it well. If you want to eat, you can only go to the house to see if there is any left?"

"Then forget it, I'll go over later."

He carried the bucket into the house. There were still a few oil cakes inside, lest they be stolen by a few smelly kids outside. By the way, he put away the noodle tea cake, and put the cloth directly into the cabinet.

After putting things away and hiding the money, he went out.

"You guys eat quickly, and I'll take you to sunbathe after eating!"

Ye Huimei laughed brightly. "It's like they haven't sunbathed before. Mother just told them not to run around, lest they get heatstroke."

"Then forget it, I'll go by myself."

"Then you can take that bucket of tea over by the way. Mother just wanted to take it over and said it couldn't fit, so she could only wait for a while to take it. You can take it over just right."

"Oh."

When he carried a bucket of tea over, everyone had just finished eating and was resting in a cool place.

He first greeted Ah Guang, who was shirtless. "Why are you so active? Still working until now, just go back, it's too hot, and you hired so many workers."

"It's fine."

"Come, eat an oil cake."

"Bought in town?"

"Hmm." Anyway, his father and eldest brother went to sea, just right, there were two left.

He took out another one for his wife, and then carried the bucket to his mother. "One for each."

"What is it?"

Sure enough, when Ye mother saw so many oil cakes, her brows frowned. Just when she wanted to scold, Ye Yaodong blocked her mouth directly.

"Don't scold! I sold the goose barnacles for a good price, so I thought of bringing one for each of you."

Ye mother's attention was diverted, and she looked at him in surprise. "Is it really a treasure?"

"Otherwise?"

"How much did you sell it for?"

"Don't tell you."

"Then let your wife collect it for you. You only have a little money in your pocket, and you spend it randomly, and buy so many oil cakes. Take them back and divide them among the children later."

"They have all eaten." After speaking, he slipped to Ah Guang, lest he had to listen to his mother's nagging again.

Lin Xiuqing also wanted to know how much it sold for, but she held back. It wouldn't be too late to ask when she went back at night.

Just didn't expect that when it was night, there was still a surprise waiting for her.

Watching him hand the yellow floral cloth to her like a treasure, she wanted to scold but couldn't scold. She was still holding the 90-plus yuan he just gave her.

She calculated in her heart, it was about this number. He couldn't hide a few cents, and she wouldn't be serious about asking him how much he spent.

"Forget it if you bought it. Don't spend money randomly next time. I work every day, and it's the same to wear anything. Just have something to wear. You bought this cloth back, I made the clothes, when will I wear it?"

Actually, she was still quite happy in her heart. This is the most popular Dacron now. Whoever has one, walking out will have a lot of face.

She just felt sorry for the money, and she didn't have a chance to wear it when she worked all day.

It's better to save the money to make winter clothes, so that she can wear them when visiting relatives during the New Year.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "You can wear it at any time. This fabric is wear-resistant and not afraid of damage."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him reproachfully. "Who wears so well when working?"

"Clothes are bought to be worn. If you leave them for a long time and are reluctant to wear them, won't they become old anyway?"

"Fine, don't buy it next time."

Making one to wear when returning to her mother's house during the Mid-Autumn Festival is fine, lest her father and mother always worry that she is not living well. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====

"Alright, you are not allowed to buy any more next time."

Making one to wear when she returns to her parents' home for the Mid-Autumn Festival is fine, so her parents won't always worry that she isn't living well.
