Chapter 939: Returning home in glory
Ye Fu stood on the side and was also very happy. It didn't matter if he was ignored. He just felt that it was harmonious. He said with a glowing face: "Go home first, talk when we get home, move the things back first. Others have returned one after another, let's not stand here. The sun hasn't completely set yet, it's still very sunny."
The old lady also hurriedly echoed, smiling with wrinkles on her face, pulling Ye Yaodong's hand, "Right, right, talk when we get home, all tired..."
Ye Yaodong turned and went to the basket first, and handed the cloth doll he fished from the sea to Ye Xiaoxi.
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly hugged it with agility, and called out excitedly twice.
Listening to other children around calling for cloth dolls, she followed and called for cloth dolls.
"Cloth doll... cloth doll..."
"Such a big cloth doll... so beautiful..."
"I want one too, I want one too..."
"I want one too, I want one too, father, did you buy one for me too? I want that big cloth doll..." Other people's children also pulled their own fathers and shouted.
Ye Xiaoxi was also flushed with excitement, and her teeth that hadn't grown fully were exposed, smiling until her eyes couldn't be seen.
"Do you like it?" Ye Yaodong asked her with full doting.
"Like."
After she said it in a low voice, she immediately shouted loudly again, "Like!"
"Father, what about ours, what about ours?"
"Yes, yes, all have them. I'll give them to you when we get home. They are all pressed at the bottom, not easy to find. This doll is relatively large, so I took it out."
"Third Uncle, are there any for us?"
"Go find your fathers, they also brought you gifts."
Several children instantly became like grass on the wall. They ran over as soon as they saw the cloth doll. When they heard that their fathers had bought more, they ran back and surrounded their own fathers to quarrel.
Instantly, the pier was full of various noises from children, and even the children who had already walked forward turned their heads to see the eye-catching big doll and began to quarrel.
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "This doll is not cheap, right? Such a big one, we can't buy it in this supply and marketing cooperative..."
"This doll is really beautiful, wearing red clothes, Adong is really willing..."
"They have all earned a lot of money, what are they not willing to do? If I could earn tens of thousands, I would be willing too, one for the whole family..."
Some villagers didn't have relatives who went out, just purely came out to watch the fun, all surrounded them and asked questions.
"Adong, Ye Laosan, how much money did you earn this trip?"
"Should have earned a lot, right? You all bought password boxes. Are they full of money inside?"
"Is this face worth a hundred yuan? I heard it's quite expensive, all leather. Oh my, buying this is not as good as buying a bicycle..."
"Are you stupid? Don't they have bicycles at home? They have televisions, they have everything. They earned a lot of money, so they have to buy a password box to hold it. If they use a sack to hold it and someone sees it, what if it gets stolen?"
"Right, right, right, you have to use a suitcase to hold money..."
"How much money can this box hold? They all have password boxes, tsk tsk tsk, they really made a big fortune this trip..."
"Next year we have to find a way to follow. If we can't afford a boat, it's good to follow to work. I heard that the wages for following are ninety yuan a month, much better than following a big boat, and better than at home..."
The villagers followed and asked, but didn't get a reply, because Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu only had one mouth each, and they were too busy dealing with the various questions of their wives and mothers, so they had no time to answer other people's questions.
Ye Mu was also full of smiles, feeling that she was glorious to the extreme today.
Three sons and a man steered four boats, and the son-in-law's family also had several boats, all earning a lot of money back, which made her feel proud.
Just now, while waiting, a group of women caught her and praised her for being lucky, knowing how to give birth, and having so many sons, and they were so promising.
She actually felt the same way, and felt quite honored in her heart.
"It's good to set off early today, and we can return before the sun sets..."
"Does mother also feel glorious? There is light on your face..."
Ye Mu wanted to restrain the smile on her face, but couldn't restrain it no matter what, and deliberately pursed her lips, but still smiled.
"I was thinking that you would come back early, and you would be able to catch up with dinner..."
"Are your words inconsistent with your heart? Did we bring you glory?" Ye Yaodong said with a playful face.
Ye Mu didn't hold back her smile, and glared at him with a smile, "Right, right, you brought me glory. Fortunately, you came back during the day, and had a good show. Otherwise, if you came back in the middle of the night, maybe people would think we were gray-faced and didn't earn any money."
"That wouldn't happen. Someone called back every three days, and some even reported how much they earned. How could they think we didn't earn any money? Coming back at night is just a bit low-key."
Ye Dasao also smiled and said: "The village has long spread, saying that after a trip to Zhejiang Province, our village has more than ten ten-thousand-yuan households. In the ten miles and eight villages, no village can compare with our village."
Ye Ersao also said with a full face of smiles: "Exactly, during the days you were away, the villagers all gathered around the matter of you going to catch jellyfish."
"Isn't it? Most of the strong laborers in the village have left, and the rest are old, weak, women, and children. A bunch of people gathered together to talk about the men in the family going to earn money."
"Adong has several boats, should earn more, right? Did you earn several ten thousand?"
"Right, they all earned a ten-thousand-yuan household back. You have several boats, so you must have several ten-thousand-yuan households?"
Pulling back and forth, everyone was still most concerned about how much money his family earned.
"Earned a lot of money, but spent a lot too. So many people, two months of eating and drinking, and fuel and wages cost several thousand yuan. I really don't know exactly how much I earned. I just remitted whatever I had every few days. I'll calculate it when I go back."
He really only knew roughly, and didn't know exactly how much he earned.
"Must have earned several ten thousand, your boats are so many, earned big..."
"How can you be so smart, buying so many boats all at once this year, and all earned back..."
"More than earned back, it's simply a big profit, and even those who followed him earned a lot, really too amazing..."
"All the money was earned by them..."
"Next year I have to grit my teeth and buy a boat to follow..."
"Right, right, following is good, at least you can drink soup. If you don't follow, you can only look at it at home."
Sour and envious words were one basket after another, and they couldn't be finished.
It was just so realistic.
If you bring a lot of money back to the villagers, that is returning home in glory, and everyone surrounds you and says good things to compliment you. Good words don't cost money, after all, you are the hero of the whole village and the god of wealth.
But if you didn't earn money, then the mocking words behind your back would be one after another. Fortunately, he earned money.
Even if there are more boats next year, you can drink some soup. You definitely can't earn as much as this year. The boats that followed this year are really lucky.
These two months were purely picking up money. There was no better year to earn money than this year.
Next year, there will be more monks and less porridge, but you can still be full. Anyway, it is the fishing season.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about everyone's sour words, hugged the child, accommodated the old lady's movement speed, and walked slowly at the end.
Everyone saw that their whole family was talking, and after asking a few questions, they found that they were walking too slowly. As the front team moved forward, they followed the front team and walked faster, and by the way, listened to the people in front talking about what happened during the jellyfish fishing process.
The team also gradually opened up the distance. Those who walked fast had already turned into the village, and they also opened up a little distance from the people in front.
Ye Yaodong said to Lin Xiuqing: "When we go back later, you count the money, count 6 copies of 180, and 4 copies of 202, and let mother send them to each family. We are already home, so let's send their wages over quickly, and let their whole family be happy."
"And father's share, give it to him together later, and he can take it back when he goes home."
"Mine is fine, don't worry, give it to others first, don't drag it overnight."
Ye Yaodong also looked at Chen Shi who was following him, "Don't rush to leave later, take your wages before going back."
Chen Shi smiled honestly and nodded.
During this time, he went out for two months, and he also instantly grew a lot. Boys grow late. Before, he looked like a half-grown boy of 1.6 meters, but he instantly grew to 1.76 meters, looking like he had grown up. In their village, he was also a rare tall person.
Although he went out early and returned late, and it was hard to stay at sea, the food Ye Yaodong arranged for them was very good, and he never skimped on food and drink, after all, he had to eat with them.
Fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables were indispensable every day, and the food was enough. For a half-grown boy who was growing his body, if the nutrition was enough, he would grow up all at once.
Ye Mu smiled and said: "Those boys sent firewood to our house every day before, which can be considered as picking up a job for themselves."
"They also sold labor, and our family also needs people to work, and needs people to watch. With these boys, you and A Qing can also save a lot of trouble?"
Lin Xiuqing nodded with a smile, "Yes, you men are not at home, everything has to rely on them to help. During the day, they carry water and cut firewood, and in the evening, they come to the workshop to take turns on duty."
"Are they not here now? Didn't see them."
If they were here, they would have surrounded them long ago.
"Not here yet, not yet time, just let them go home to eat, I guess they will come over in a while."
"Have you paid them their wages for these two months?"
"Paid for one month, and worked for a few days at the end of the month before last, so paid for a few days. Now it's the end of the month, and I'll pay them in two days."
"No need to wait two days. If they come over later, pay them their wages together, pay them in advance, and I brought a lot of mooncakes back, give them some to take back."
Lin Xiuqing was surprised, "Everyone has one?"
"Right."
Just in time for Mid-Autumn Festival, have to give them a mooncake as a benefit.
"Then how many are there? That mooncake is huge."
"Bought thirty back, give them one each, and we can still have a lot left. At that time, give a few to your mother's side, give some to Auntie and Fatty, give some to mother's relatives, and we should still have two or three left at home, enough to eat."
"Okay, then I'll calculate their wages for them later, and let them take them back with the mooncakes."
Chen Shi thanked him repeatedly.
It was really repeatedly, because he couldn't finish thanking him...
Ye Mu smiled and changed the subject with a headache, "Then when I send the wages later, I will send them the mooncakes by the way."
Everyone walked home chatting and laughing. Those who walked in front of them were the few families living by the beach, and their relatives and friends, who also curiously followed them home.
In the two months they were not at home, there were three or four more households nearby, all newly built houses, which moved in and lived in a while ago.
Ye Yaodong just asked a few questions casually, and didn't care. How many people live nearby has nothing to do with him.
A little more is also lively, and the door is not so dark at night, and some vendors can pass by their door.
Just as they walked near the door, the dogs all surrounded them affectionately, barking wildly, and wagging their tails, and some climbed onto his thighs, making him unable to move.
"Go, go, go, haven't seen each other for two months, still so shameless."
He kicked one away, and the dog's claws were about to climb onto Ye Xiaoxi's small feet, making him unable to move.
After being kicked away, those dogs rolled on the ground and followed them into the house closely.
As soon as the bamboo basket carried by Ye Fu and Ye Mu was put down, Ye Chenghu immediately pounced on it and rummaged through it.
Ye Chengyang also helped to rummage through the things his eldest brother turned out, and was filled with them.
"What are you in a hurry for? Don't rummage around, these are all gifts bought for your mother and the others. Your gifts are here."
Ye Yaodong took out a cloth bag from the basket, which was used to put clothes before, and after tidying it up, he simply used it to hold those toy cars.
The two boys watched their father lift the cloth bag, and with a clatter, a pile of toy cars poured onto the ground. Both of them stared straight!
Instantly, they screamed again.
"Car... toy car..."
"Tin car... ah ah ah... father, you are so great, you understand me so well, I want this, I want this, I like this car the most..."
"Ah! Father, you are so amazing, so many cars, like it so much, I like this car the most, good, mine, mine..."
"Mine, mine..."
"Mine..."
The two children were so excited that their saliva sprayed everywhere, and they didn't care that the ground was dirty and dusty, pouncing on the ground, scratching the toys on the ground into their arms, afraid that the other party would take advantage.
Even if it had been scratched into their arms by the other party, they still had to reach out and grab one more.
"Mine..."
"That's mine..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the two lying on the ground, wanting to step on them, "Don't fight, half each, put them in the middle and take turns picking, and give the rest to A Hai and the others one each. Don't give them to girls."
"Don't, why give them? Don't give anyone, this is mine."
"They also have fathers, let Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle buy them, why give them ours? Isn't this bought for us?" Ye Chengyang also refused.
Which boy can resist toy cars?
Moreover, in this era of scarce resources, all toys rely on their own handmade, or they find things to play with themselves.
Having a toy car is equivalent to an adult having a Rolls-Royce.
They were already in their hands, and wanting to cut meat from their hands, no way.
"I won't give anyone!"
"Me too, this is ours!"
Both were extremely protective of food.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the toy cars all over the floor, and had been stunned long ago. Listening to the dialogue between the father and son, she didn't have time to react. After reacting, her heart ached.
Although they earned tens of thousands, this money didn't come from a strong wind. If you love children, buy one or two for them to play with.
Now buy so many, and they are all similar toy cars, crazy?
"Why did you buy so many toy cars? This car is very expensive, one is ten or twenty yuan. If you want to buy, buy one or two, buy so many..."
Ye Mu was also heartbroken, "Why are you so wasteful? So many toy cars, this costs several hundred yuan. What can't you do with this money? Buy all these cars, are you opening a toy store? After a trip, you know how to spend money more..."
Ye Yaodong hurriedly interrupted the nagging of the two women, "This wasn't bought, I fished it up from the sea."
"Ah?" Both were surprised.
"Just when we set off, I was fishing at sea, and as a result, I fished up a big box. When I opened it, it contained two big dolls like the one in Xiao Jiu's hand, and a pile of these small car toys."
Lin Xiuqing blinked at Ye Mu, stunned for a moment. It shouldn't be a lie, Ye Fu was with him.
"Can fishing also fish up a box?"
"Yeah, I also think it's quite strange. Fishing can also fish up a box, and open a pile of toys, quite wonderful."
Ye Mu said in surprise: "Can what is fished be fish? It can even fish up a box..."
"Let me tell you, A Zheng also fished up a broken shoe, which made me laugh to death..."
"Fortunately it was one, if it was a pair, wouldn't you have to turn back on the spot?"
Ye Yaodong instantly shivered, "Mother, what ghost story are you telling? At such a happy time, you are telling such a terrifying thing."
Ye Fu also glared at her, "Can you talk?"
Ye Mu laughed dryly, "This is not fast mouth, thinking of whatever comes to mind..."
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile to smooth things over, "That luck is quite good, and can open a pile of toys, just saving the gifts for them, look at how happy they are rolling on the ground."
"These cars are not cheap. I saw them in the Taiwan goods store before, one is ten or twenty yuan, very expensive. Selling these can sell for two or three hundred yuan..."
"Don't sell!"
Ye Chenghu was anxious, shouted loudly, protective of the calf, hugged the toy cars tightly, hugged them tightly, and the whole person pounced on them, wanting to cover the cars so that they couldn't be seen at all.
Ye Chengyang immediately climbed up, took off his clothes, put the share he scratched into his arms into his clothes, wrapped them up, and quickly ran back to the room to hide them.
This made the stupid Ye Chenghu anxious, afraid that if he was a step slow, his share would be sold.
"You wait for me..."
"Are you stupid? Your grandmother just said it casually..."
Ye Chenghu couldn't listen to whether what he said was true or false, immediately followed suit, took off his clothes to wrap the toys, and then quickly ran back to the room.
"Two stupid boys." Ye Yaodong scolded with a smile, and didn't care about them anymore. If they didn't want to give, don't give.
Anyway, his eldest brother and second brother also bought gifts for their own children, so he didn't need to worry.
It's just that he felt there were a bit too many of these toy cars. Give them one each, and his own two boys could still have a lot left.
But he almost forgot that children are very stingy, and they are not willing to give the toys they just got to others, and they are such expensive toy cars. They haven't played with them themselves, and maybe they will be generous after playing with them.
Several children were really happy to death. They had what others didn't have, the first one in the whole village.
It was football and basketball, and toy cars. Later, A Guang would send ice skates over. Too! Stylish!
The children in their family had long been the most beautiful boys in the village, and they could be upgraded to child stars in the village tomorrow, simply too beautiful.
However, keep this as a surprise for them, see when A Guang is free to send it over. Now there are toy cars, enough for them to be happy for a long, long time.
"Hey? Didn't you just say there were two cloth dolls? Why is there only one?" Ye Mu pointed to the doll held in Ye Xiaoxi's arms and asked.
Ye Xiaoxi thought Ye Mu didn't have toy small cars to sell, and now she wanted to sell her doll, so she shouted in a milky voice, "Don't sell!"
Ye Yaodong was happy, "Not selling yours."
"Humph!" She twisted her head proudly.
But she was also afraid of being taken by Ye Mu to sell, so she learned from her brothers, hugged the doll, and ran to her room with a bump.
She ran and shouted, "Hide... hide..."
Ye Mu had been regarded as a bad person by them, and she also looked at it speechlessly.
"These few..."
"And one was given to the granddaughter, just right A Guang saw it on the boat and asked for it." Ye Fu said while tidying up.
The old lady sat on the stool and said with a smile: "That's just right, two little girls each have a doll."
"I see the doll is taller than them, small, everything has. That doll, I guess it takes a worker's monthly salary." Ye Mu complained.
"Don't talk about it, anyway, they were all taken back for free, all small things for children to play with, don't care about them."
"Anyway, it's nothing, all are things to eat and use, brought back for you, you divide them later, A Qing, go calculate the wages first, Chen Shi is still waiting in the yard."
"Good, good, I'll go get the money immediately, I was interrupted by several children as soon as I entered the room, and forgot."
Ye Mu also went to turn out the mooncakes in the basket, and while taking them, she muttered, "You bought too many..." Half a basket is mooncakes..."
"Isn't it almost Mid-Autumn Festival? The streets are full of mooncakes. Just right, the whole boat followed us for so long, helped us earn so much money, and we have to send some benefits for the festival."
"Others don't have it, you buy so many to send..."
"Others are others, I didn't hide it when I bought it. They are not willing to spend this money, we have to be willing, after all, I earn much more than them, and later I called them to dive to catch sea urchins."
"Since half of them have it, then the remaining half can't have none, just buy it together, and by the way, relatives and friends bring one more, anyway, it is a specialty, just in time for Mid-Autumn Festival."
"You are the most willing..."
Ye Mu muttered a word, and didn't say much.
Indeed, earned a lot of money, and most of those who followed were relatives, and several were her own nephews.
Lin Xiuqing took the money out, and by the way, took a mooncake, "Do you want to take them to that group of people? Send them back together?"
"No need, when they come to work later, give them wages, and by the way, let them take the mooncakes back. Chen Shi is also tired on this road, no need to call him to send everywhere, they will come over, let them collect it themselves."
"That works too."
After letting Chen Shi go back first, Lin Xiuqing asked Ye Mu to help tidy up the things, and she had to go back to the room to count the money.
One share of wages was counted out, and she tied it with a rubber band. She counted all large bills, which was convenient and easy.
Ye Mu also counted the mooncakes she wanted to send out one by one.
The old lady saw that they had divided the things almost, so she gave Ye Yaodong a large bowl of rice first, and served the dishes, and then remembered that there was a Ye Fu, turned back and gave him a bowl.
"You father and son are hungry after returning, eat first, let your mother tidy up these things."
"Let's eat together later."
"It's almost the same, call several children out to eat together, and A Qing will come out after counting the money. Your mother, she doesn't matter, this trip to send money and mooncakes, she won't be back until the sun sets."
Ye Mu glanced at the old lady, didn't speak, just moved the mooncake shares she calculated to the innermost part of the table, put them against the wall, and vacated the space on the table for her to put dishes.
"Won't I go after eating? What's the rush? I'm sending money, not collecting money."
"You said earlier that you would send it to people early."
"That doesn't mean it's so urgent. People just arrived home, I guess the whole family and neighbors are surrounded there talking. I went, don't say that the sun sets and I can't come back, even if it's dark, I can't come back, everyone has to pull me to talk."
Quite self-aware.
Ye Yaodong just looked at his watch, and turned to look at the sunlight outside, which had already shone on the window, and he also slandered in his heart, the old lady said it too conservatively.
His mother also said it conservatively.
Today gave her such a big face, he felt she had to sleep to enter the door, or it would be better to go out after eating.
"Then eat first, talk while eating, spent the whole day on the boat just happy, didn't eat anything, just gnawed two salted vegetable cakes."
Ye Fu had long been hungry. After the rice was served in front of him, he couldn't wait to pick up chopsticks and eat first.
The old lady also went to call several children out to eat, and served them rice well.
Ye Mu also went to call Lin Xiuqing, sit down and eat first, chat while eating. ===== CHAPTER 940 =====
