Chapter 886: Coming to the door again (Two chapters combined into one, 7000 words)

~24 min read 4,764 words

Because of the matter of buying a boat again in the past two days, the limelight was quite big, and it just happened to be a typhoon day when everyone was free. The day after their family bought the boat, they were almost trampled on the threshold by relatives and friends again.

He didn't see it because he went out early in the morning and wasn't at home. He only heard Aqing mention it after pushing two pots back in the afternoon.

But he didn't care.

Knowing that he got rich, it is normal for relatives and friends to come to the door, and it is abnormal not to come.

Lin Xiuqing saw him move two pots down and put them in the corner, and saw him take a cloth bag to her, a little curious.

"What is it? Candy?"

It didn't feel very heavy when lifted, but it felt hard when pinched. However, after opening it, she knew it was small corals again, the same as the ones at home before.

"Why did you bring this thing back again? No one wants it. The previous ones were thrown in the drawer, and now you bring so many, given by the eldest aunt?"

"The eldest aunt was going to throw it away, so I let her give it to me. Keep it first, I told her if there is any in the future, don't throw it away, give it all to me."

"What do you want so many for? There are enough at home."

"Red, white, pink, black, don't you think it looks good? Keep it."

When he went to the town in the morning, he also took the opportunity to push some winter melons and pumpkins and shrimp meat to his eldest aunt. Anyway, the village where his eldest aunt lived was not far from the town, and it was a small village on the side of the main road.

When he went, he just saw her pouring it into the ditch, and he hurriedly intercepted it.

It's a pity to pour it away. Although they are all small scraps, they can also be ground into ring faces, strung into bracelets, and inlaid into earrings. If you pay a little labor fee, making them into jewelry will be valuable and good-looking.

"Just bring back some useless things."

Lin Xiuqing muttered, disgusted, but still took it back to the room to put it away.

"If I don't bring back useless things, then if I bring back useful things, you will be angry to death. Useful things all need money."

She turned her head and glared at him.

Ye Yaodong held a few notebooks, followed her while walking, raised his hands on both sides to fan her, and smiled flatteringly.

"Just like this, need money to buy, but this is cheap, don't be angry."

Lin Xiuqing took the notebook from his hand by the way, looked at him reproachfully, and took it back to the room to put it away.

Ye Yaodong sat next to the old lady in front of the TV, watching Ye Xiaoxi squatting in front of her, stealing food like a mouse, and he also took one and chewed it in his mouth.

But he saw the old lady reach out and dig out the one that Ye Xiaoxi had just stuffed into her mouth.

"Can't bite, and still keep stealing food."

Ye Mu was also watching TV on the side, with the same round bamboo tray on her lap picking shrimp meat. She picked up one and chewed it in her mouth, chewed it rotten, and then dug it out and put it into Ye Xiaoxi's mouth...

Ye Yaodong watched with wide eyes, and hurriedly went to dig out the one in her mouth!

"What are you doing?" Ye Mu looked at his actions and asked puzzled.

"I should be the one asking what you are doing? So disgusting, actually chewed it rotten in your mouth and stuffed it into her mouth."

"If you don't eat it like this, how can she eat it? There are only a few front teeth. When you were young, you ate peanuts, and I also chewed them rotten and put them in your mouth. What's so disgusting."

Ye Yaodong was full of disgust. "Still not disgusting, you let the old lady chew it rotten and feed it to my father's mouth, see if my father scolds you?"

"Psychopath! Blindly particular."

But Ye Xiaoxi looked up at this and that, and then secretly stuffed the one the old lady just dug out back into her mouth.

And taking advantage of the adults not paying attention, her little eyes turned around and she secretly stuffed a few more, her mouth full, her cheeks moving back and forth.

It was still the old lady who saw it first when she lowered her head. She laughed and exposed her toothless gums. "Look at her, her mouth is full again, stealing food as soon as I don't see it for a while."

Ye Yaodong also saw her cheeks full, like a little squirrel, and was amused, and hurriedly went to dig her mouth again.

But she also learned to be smart, stepped on her little feet and wanted to run.

He took a long step and caught her, holding her in his arms. "Still want to run, little thing! Spit it out, this dried shrimp meat is hard, your teeth can't bite it, wait until it's soaked and cooked to eat."

She closed her mouth tightly and wouldn't let go, and her body twisted and wanted to escape.

Ye Yaodong could only clamp her, not let her run, and forced his hand into her mouth, but was bitten tightly by her teeth, and it took a lot of effort to dig them out one by one.

With her mouth empty, Ye Xiaoxi burst into tears instantly, and didn't do it.

"Wa~ woo woo woo~"

Actually didn't let anyone eat! And dug it out!

The adults in the room all laughed.

Lin Xiuqing heard the crying and came out to see, knowing it was because she wasn't allowed to eat, and also laughed.

"Pumpkin is stewed in the pot, almost rotten, I'll go fill a bowl and cool it for her to eat."

Ye Yaodong looked a little dumbfounded. "This is too greedy."

"Which child is not greedy."

Ye Xiaoxi twisted her body, sobbed and ran towards Lin Xiuqing, and hugged her thigh, sat on her instep, and cried even louder.

"Alright, don't cry, cool it down, you'll have it to eat in a while."

Ye Yaodong also filled a large bowl and ate it first, with brown sugar and ginger slices inside, it tasted like ginger and sweet.

He dug a pair of chopsticks and stretched it in front of Ye Xiaoxi to tempt her, but saw that she was quite spirited, directly turned her head away and didn't look, and let out a heavy hum with a nasal sound.

Still quite a little temper!

"Don't eat then, it's too fragrant, stewed rotten, it will melt in the mouth, and it's sweet, hmm~ too delicious~"

The seductive voice was still quite attractive.

After a while, Ye Xiaoxi let go of Lin Xiuqing's feet, climbed onto the table with her hands and feet, but saw the table in front of her empty, no bowl.

Lin Xiuqing just filled a small bowl and put it on the stove, not on the table, because she was hugged by her feet and couldn't get away.

She was also particularly able to bend and stretch, immediately climbed down the table with her hands and feet, then ran to Ye Yaodong's leg, climbed onto his leg, and then sat upright, opening her mouth, "Ah~"

Ye Yaodong looked at her actions amusedly, and even pinched her cheeks. "Why are you so thick-skinned, you were just angry with me, and now you take the initiative to send it to the door?"

"Ah~ hurry up~"

"Obey, ancestor."

Ye Yaodong dug a small piece with chopsticks, blew and blew, and then sent it to her mouth. Seeing her satisfied expression, he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against her forehead.

But he was pushed away by her holding his cheeks.

"Ah~"

He had no choice but to continue feeding.

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and put her small bowl on the stool for her, and took a small spoon.

"No need to feed, put it down for her to eat by herself, anyway, I dug out the seeds and dried pumpkin seeds, she will spit out the skin herself."

"Mm."

Ye Yaodong thought of the beginning, but didn't think of the ending.

He knew that after the winter melon and pumpkin were harvested, they would not appear less on the dining table in the next few days.

But he didn't expect that on the dinner table in the evening, winter melon, pumpkin, watermelon, and bottle gourd appeared at the same time...

Winter melon and shrimp skin soup, stir-fried pumpkin, watermelon mixed with white sugar, bottle gourd stir-fried shrimp meat, stewed loach, minced meat steamed egg...

Fortunately, there were no mung bean sprouts, which was slightly better.

"Tomorrow... can there be meat?"

Lin Xiuqing was puzzled, pointed to the minced meat steamed egg, "Isn't this meat?"

Seems like it...

"But I want to eat braised pork."

"Alright, got it."

Ye Mu muttered, "Picking and choosing when there is food, didn't you just eat yellow eel last night?"

"Is yellow eel meat?"

"Isn't yellow eel meat?"

"Different."

Ye Yaodong stretched his chopsticks and pointed to winter melon, pumpkin, watermelon, and bottle gourd. "Can these not appear together? Bottle gourd replaces northern melon, can they summon red, middle, and fortune?"

Lin Xiuqing choked while eating and coughed violently.

The old lady smiled and patted him. "What are you talking about? Winter melon and pumpkin are just harvested, you have to eat them fresh? Eating watermelon in the hot summer, the mouth is also comfortable, bottle gourd is sent by the neighbor next door who can't finish it."

"Just he has many opinions, eat quickly." Ye Mu urged, and then ate by herself.

However, she thought of something after eating two bites, glared at Ye Yaodong, "After eating, put away all their balls, don't give them basketballs and soccer balls to play, look at what they have been tanned into? Don't know how to help at home."

"After eating, call all the little ones next door, come and help pick shrimp meat, there are still several hundred jin there, don't just play, finish the work first."

Ye Chenghu screamed, "Don't put it away..."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about him. "Mm, I will confiscate their soccer balls and basketballs later."

Recently, several of them have been playing too crazy. As long as they run out, they can't be called back. After being beaten, they still run out limping.

"Indulging them all day long, whose child doesn't help with work, just playing all day? Even bringing all the children in the village to grow at our door."

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were both crying without tears. They had just bought it, and they were in the middle of it, and they were going to be confiscated so soon.

Ye Chengyang bit his chopsticks and looked eagerly. "Dad, can we play after we pick the shrimp meat and finish the work?"

"Mm, you can play after finishing the work."

"Then I will call all my friends to help pick later, and it will definitely be finished soon." Ye Chenghu raised his neck and said proudly.

"Can, I will go to the workshop later, move the bamboo bed to the door, pour the dried shrimp that has been crushed onto the bamboo bed, you can sit in two rows and pick slowly."

Ye Mu added, "Watch out, don't let people steal food, these are all to be sold for money."

"Mm mm, whoever dares to steal food, we will beat him to death! Don't let them come to our house to play ball in the future!"

Ye Chenghu clenched his little fist and began to gesture.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him. "Eat quickly."

Recently, the children in the village have formed a habit. As soon as they finish eating, they run to the doors of their families, and then begin to call the names of the boys and girls in the Ye family at the door.

After hearing the shouts of little friends at the door, no one could calm down to eat, and they all scrambled quickly.

However, it was unexpected by everyone today. Ye Chenghai was just about to take the soccer ball out when he was detained by Ye Yaodong.

Ye Chenghu also ran to the side, put his hands on his hips and shouted: "My dad said, no playing ball at night, have to help with work, when the work is finished, then you can play ball."

Then not long after, a pile of crushed dried shrimp was piled on the bamboo bed placed at the door, and several large bowls were placed on it. Both sides and the head and tail were full of children, each picking carefully.

Working slowly at home, but when working for others, they were full of energy, and they had never been so active before.

Ye Chenghu also crossed his hands behind his back and turned around the side again and again, shouting with a model: "No one is allowed to steal food, if you steal food, don't come to our house to play ball in the future, and if you come, I will drive you all out!"

Other people who didn't grab the work could only play on the side while waiting.

Ye Yaopeng's family still had a bamboo bed. After seeing the situation at the door, they also moved it out for them to borrow.

Now, both sides of the two beds were full of children.

After Ye Yaodong poured a large batch of dried shrimp on it, he also moved a rocking chair, lying on the side, leisurely.

Suddenly there was a large group of child laborers, and they were voluntary, which was quite good.

The door was so lively, of course, there was no lack of adults who came to join the fun and chat after dinner.

"Your family is good, you bought all the children in the village."

"Didn't see them so diligent when working for their own family... but they were very serious when working for others..."

Ye Chenghai said happily: "They all grabbed it themselves, I didn't call them, I wanted to do it but didn't have a chance, couldn't squeeze in."

Ye Chenghu also echoed, "Because they want to help finish it early, so they can play ball."

"I will also go and take a round bamboo tray to help, it's free anyway..."

"Are there any more round trays?"

Not long after, the open space was also full of men and women chatting in their spare time. They were all sitting in twos and threes, sharing a round bamboo tray, and picking together.

Their country families are indispensable for this kind of bamboo weaving tools, which is convenient for drying things.

Neighbors are harmonious. Generally, if there is work on hand, if they can help, they will help together.

"These are the first batch dried, not finished peeling yet, how many jin can be peeled out in total?"

"Hundreds of jin? Before, I saw that there were thousands of jin sent back, and the second batch sent back was more. The ones drying in the workshop over there look full."

"Have to peel it out to weigh it to know, more than half of it is not finished yet, it is estimated that it will take another day." Lin Xiuqing said sitting beside Ye Yaodong's recliner.

"I heard that your own eldest brother and sister-in-law rented the shop of the eldest brother and sister-in-law here. How is the business? I heard that the annual rent is more than 500, can it be earned back?"

"It's okay, the first day I called and said the business was good and there were many people. I have been busy these days and didn't have time to call, so I don't know."

"It's quite expensive, no one is free to call all day if there is nothing important."

"It's good to be able to rent it out, and it can be placed to slowly generate money. It can be considered a good buy."

This finally hit the heart of Ye the eldest sister-in-law. She was also very happy. "Yes, being able to rent it out is good, and it can be placed to slowly generate money. It can be considered a good buy."

Ye the second sister-in-law was a bit uncomfortable. "I don't know when our shop can be rented out, it's not far away..."

Ye the second brother stopped her from continuing to speak, "What's the rush, the market is so lively now, it will naturally be rented out if it is placed there."

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing didn't say a word. It was their eldest brother who took a fancy to it himself, and it wasn't that they said anything.

The adults were talking lively, and the children were also lively. Several boys in their family were like patrols, always circling around the two bamboo beds, and other children were running and jumping on the side.

However, at this time, there were uninvited guests coming to the door.

Ye the eldest aunt looked at the many people at the door and walked towards Ye Yaodong with a smile.

Lin Xiuqing also frowned with a headache. She had been here once during the day, but Adong was not at home, and she actually came again at this time.

Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and rested, not noticing, until she shouted at him, he opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

"What?"

"Isn't it heard that you ordered another boat? Come and see, I came in the morning, Aqing said you were not at home."

"Oh."

"Will you have another large boat in hand at the end of the year?"

"Mm, it is said so."

The underlying meaning is, whether there will be any changes, he doesn't know.

"Then leave a position for a boat worker for Brother Afan at that time? As for the boat, we don't think about it, but it's okay to leave a position for a boat worker to work in advance, right?"

Ye Yaodong was almost amused by his eldest aunt.

Her meaning is: I am not thinking about your boat anymore, just aggrieved to seek a job as a boat worker, this is always okay, right?

"I don't know if my boat can be in hand at the end of the year. The delivery date is written as the middle of next year. The eldest aunt is running over to ask for work for Brother Afan now, is it too early?"

The workshop was perfectly completed, and Brother Afan had always been honestly working there, and also received his salary normally and ended. Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt was so impatient and jumped out again.

"I have to say it in advance, right? In case you say you have already found someone, then we have no play, right? It's okay to say it half a year in advance, right?"

After speaking, the eldest aunt began to play the emotional card again. "Dongzi, you are brothers, but you are the same grandfather. You can't ignore him. You are also close cousins. Breaking bones and connecting tendons, you have to help if you should help..."

This time, before Ye Yaodong could speak, Ye the second sister-in-law took the lead.

"The eldest aunt said it well. Everyone is brothers, and the bones are connected. Then why did the eldest cousin think of finding relatives to start? Why didn't he think of the brothers showing mercy? It's a pity, our hard-earned money, I don't know when it can be paid back."

Ye the eldest sister-in-law also said sarcastically: "The eldest aunt is so good at planning, she can come over half a year in advance, then did the eldest aunt help the two cousins arrange how to pay back the money in advance? This also has to be planned in advance!"

Ye the second sister-in-law also said: "We are all relatives, breaking bones and connecting tendons. When paying back the money, should we also pay back our brothers first?"

"This Brother Afan has been released first, so should he bear a part? It happens that we are tight after buying the boat..."

"The wages of the workshop completed by Adong some time ago should be deducted for us, so that Brother Afan can also pay back a little in advance..."

This is absolute!

The eldest aunt was not calm instantly.

"This is one yard, one yard, wages are wages, how can it be deducted directly? Afan doesn't owe Adong, and, the one who cheated you is Ah Hong, what does it have to do with Afan? Besides, isn't that your own willingness?"

Ye the second sister-in-law's face turned black instantly, and she walked directly to her.

"Go, the eldest aunt actually said this, what is called our own willingness? We were deceived, cheated, he is a rat club and has reason? Still blame us for being willing to be deceived? Clearly he cheated people first, and now blame us for being deceived?"

"If you are not greedy, can he deceive you? Why doesn't he deceive others? You also have problems yourself, and he is already in prison, what else do you want? Afan was also confused and taken by his eldest brother. The matter of the rat club cheating money has nothing to do with him, why should he pay it back?"

Ye the eldest sister-in-law was also extremely angry. "So we deserve to be deceived? Angry to death, the one who cheated people's money still has reason? No wonder he can run to our door and be righteous, feeling that we are stupid, so your son went to jail, right?"

"Oh, why are you so shameless? I have to go to Brother Afan's house to ask, to see if he thinks the same as the eldest aunt?"

"No wonder he can come to the door one after another, it turns out he feels he is not wrong, we deserve to have money and be deceived."

The two sisters-in-law squeezed the eldest aunt one by one, making her face look bad, and she didn't dare to really say that they deserved to be stupid to be deceived.

If she really said that, the villagers who were deceived tomorrow would have to beat them to the door again.

Some time ago, when Afan came back, he had already made trouble once. Now that it was finally quiet, she didn't want the villagers to think of him again.

Fortunately, the few households here didn't have money to invest in the rat club because of building houses. None of the people sitting here were deceived, except for these two sisters-in-law.

But the squeezing of the two sisters-in-law was enough for her to drink a pot.

"Go go go, go together, people are back and we didn't ask for an explanation. Since the eldest aunt said it has nothing to do with Brother Afan, then we will go over and talk about it. Whose money is not hard-earned money? Is it easy for everyone to earn some money? They are all earning with their lives."

"That is, hard-earned money saved a little, was deceived and actually said we deserve it."

The eldest aunt panicked instantly, hurriedly grabbed them, "I didn't say that, when did I say you deserve it, don't talk nonsense."

"Didn't you just mean that?"

"No, no, I mean these are all started by Ah Hong, and he has already been sentenced. Afan knows nothing, and was also cheated by his eldest brother. He just came out now, everything has to start over, you have to give him a chance, helping him overcome difficulties is the right thing."

Ye Yaodong looked at them making trouble with a headache. Why didn't the eldest aunt learn to be obedient? Or is it really mother is strong?

Ye the second sister-in-law was unrelenting. "I think the eldest aunt is also quite good at planning for Brother Afan, then the eldest aunt also help plan to see, when can our 1,000 yuan be paid back? And the eldest sister-in-law's family also has 1,000 yuan."

"This is caused by Ah Hong, grievances have heads and debts have owners, you have to find him, what are you telling me."

"How to find him, do I have to run to prison to ask him? The mold was all given to you!"

Ye the eldest sister-in-law also said with a fake smile: "I think the eldest aunt is so good at planning, I thought the eldest aunt had already planned for them. How much to earn this year, how much to earn next year! I thought you had already calculated it."

"Where... where... Afan's life is also very difficult, otherwise how could I ask for it three times a day, just thinking that Adong is so promising, it is right to help pull the brothers." "As for the matter of owing you money, wait until Ah Hong comes out and then talk about it."

"The eldest aunt's abacus is really loud. Wait until Ah Hong comes out, he still has 8 years to go. Can we calculate the interest for these few years? Let him pay back with interest?"

"How do I know this, you have to ask him, one yard is one yard, don't pull it together. I am asking about Adong's work, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, one yard is one yard, then we will go and ask Brother Afan, see how he says it. Debt repayment is justified, he also participated, Ah Hong is not here, then he has to pay back the money."

Ye the second sister-in-law took the conversation and walked out directly after speaking, pulling Ye the eldest sister-in-law.

The eldest aunt grabbed people again, and the three women pulled and pulled there, and continued to break up.

Making everyone not dare to blink, for fear of missing any major content.

Three women are a play, it is really not wrong at all.

Today his mother is not here, if she is here, it will be even more terrible.

The discussions of the neighbors also didn't stop, only that group of children were not affected. The older children would turn their heads and look curiously, and the younger ones didn't care at all, playing by themselves.

Those who picked shrimp meat were still picking carefully. With soccer balls in front of them, everyone was full of energy, just wanting to finish picking early so they could play.

Ye Yaodong listened for a long time and felt that his eldest aunt could really break up, and she could actually turn black into white, and really almost pulled people out.

Originally, people came to him, but now it's good, it's not his turn to speak, he just needs to watch the show on the side.

I don't know what happened, his eldest aunt came to their house several times to ask him to pull the brothers, clearly didn't get any good every time, is he really so awesome?

"Adong, do you want to say something and let the eldest aunt go?" Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but say.

"Say what? People don't have time to listen to me now," he raised his chin, "They haven't broken up clearly yet."

He turned his head and looked at the old lady again. The old lady hung her head, didn't look at them arguing, lowered her head to pick shrimp meat by herself, and was indifferent.

The old lady didn't care, and of course he didn't care. What does the battle of the three women have to do with him? He was not deceived.

His eldest and second brothers were standing on the side, where could it be his turn to worry.

However, the three people pulled and pulled, and went further and further out.

Then not long after, the eldest aunt scolded angrily, unwilling to look back and scold two sentences, walking further and further away.

Today, wanting to help Brother Afan ask for a job as a boat worker, it was shelved again. ===== CHAPTER 887 =====
