Chapter 946: Taking the Wife Shopping

Ye Yaodong didn't care about his mother's nagging. It must be tried to be repaired.

Such a big guy, he shamelessly asked for it. How could it be sold as scrap iron? If it was repaired, his mother would be even more proud than him.

However, Aqing's words also reminded him that he had to make an appointment with Uncle Zhou after the meal.

While making an appointment for the car tomorrow morning, he also had to make an appointment for the car to the province after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's not convenient to go back and forth, and it's possible that he won't be able to come back in time and will have to stay overnight. It's better to go to the province after the Mid-Autumn Festival, make an appointment in advance, so that he won't take other jobs and have no time temporarily.

By the way, he can also let him promote it everywhere to see if anyone else wants to bring letters, bring goods, or send things, and he can also earn some extra money by the way.

Before the meal was finished, there were many children's play sounds at the door as usual, but not long after, they were gone.

They were probably driven away. For the next few days, the children in the family had to tighten their skin.

After the meal, Lin Xiuqing didn't let the two children in the family go out to play. She kept them at home to do homework and recite books, and didn't let them go anywhere.

The neighbor's house was the same. Except for a burst of crying and howling at the beginning, no movement could be heard later. They were probably honest at night.

When Ye Yaodong was strolling after the meal, he saw his older brother and sister-in-law bringing Ye Chenghe back. Ye Chenghe was miserable, his face was full of snot and tears, and he kept sniffing. He was also limping when walking.

However, why were his older brother and sister-in-law holding a pile of vegetables?

"How is it, older brother and sister-in-law?"

"Nothing, that family is easy to talk to. After a few polite words, it's fine. We sent a mooncake, and they stuffed us with a pile of vegetables."

"That's quite good."

"Yes, they are quite reasonable."

It wasn't until the next day that he knew that when his older brother and sister-in-law brought the child to apologize, Ye Chenghe was beaten again on the spot, and the female classmate also forgave him.

However, what was a bit funny was that from then on, Ye Chenghe was like a quail in front of that female classmate. Whatever she asked him to do, he did it, and he was extremely honest.

He had a little pocket money and took the initiative to buy snacks for the female classmate to eat, as if he felt guilty in his heart and was eager to make up for it.

This was something he heard from Ye Chenghai later.

But that's a story for later.

At night, after the couple coaxed the children to sleep, they lay on the bed, hugged each other, and chatted about the future.

"You say, if we buy two more shops now, is there any place to buy?"

Ye Yaodong was surprised for a moment, turned his head to look at the top of her head, and smiled again, "Tasted the sweetness? Now you feel how wise I was to buy the shop!"

Lin Xiuqing hugged his waist tighter and said with a smile, "When you bought it last year, wasn't the family a bit tight? Buying it at that time was equivalent to emptying the family's bottom. Wasn't it reluctant? Now that we have loose hands, it's cost-effective to buy shops and rent them out."

"Didn't you always say that money in hand won't change? Buy some that will make money, so that it can change more and more. We have seventy or eighty thousand now. At the end of the year, when you pay the final payment of eight thousand for that boat, the money in our hands is still very sufficient."

"And the dried fish in the shop is sold every day, and there is money coming in every day. At the very least, we can earn a thousand yuan a month."

Ye Yaodong kissed her forehead, "Still quite good at planning, not stupid."

"Hehe, we are both uneducated and ignorant, and don't know what to do. Holding such a large sum of money in our hands, our hearts are also panicked, and we can't be like the old soil rich men, buying a lot of land, but we can buy shops."

"Now it's clear that buying shops can make money, so naturally, it's still safe to buy shops."

"Anyway, we are going to the city tomorrow. Let's take a look together, see if anyone wants to sell, see what the price is, and if we can buy, we will buy a few more."

Originally, he also had this idea, thinking about taking a look when he went to the city. Aqing's idea coincided with his.

No business sense, don't know what to do, buying houses and shops can't be wrong.

However, it's a bit early to buy a house now, but the prospects of commercial shops have been placed there. He has already become the first beneficiary, so naturally, he wants more, the more the better.

As for buying a boat, the delivery time in the factory is too long, at least wait a year, and buying a new one to rent out feels a bit of a loss, while second-hand is a bit indifferent.

Furthermore, after his boat arrives at the end of the year, his father has to open a big boat for him, and then after the boat he partnered with his three brothers arrives, his father has to open that boat again.

At least for the next four or five years, his father has no time to collect goods at home. Although he can also ask Wang Guangliang and his group of little brothers to collect, the priority now is to look at the shop first.

After all, commercial shops will be more valuable in the future. If you don't buy them now, the later it gets, the more lively the market will be, and the harder it will be to buy.

No shops to buy or only one or two to buy, and the hands are still very loose, then you can also consider ordering boats, ordering a few more, anyway, the price is also cheap.

"Hmm, you thought the same as me. Let's take a look after going to the city. If we can buy a few, then we will calculate the money after coming back, and then consider ordering boats at the factory."

"Are we still buying boats?"

"Buy! A boat is well maintained, and there is no problem using it for decades. At most, the diesel engine is replaced. This is a fixed asset. Buying it is not a loss, and it can also make money."

With that bastard Lin Ji on it, he can't be the richest man in Bai Sha Village, but he can be the boat king of Bai Sha Village, occupying half of the village's fishing industry!

Lin Xiuqing felt that what he said made sense. Their family could also be considered to have started with a small wooden boat. Buying a boat couldn't be wrong. Like commercial shops, they could be rented out.

"Then let's talk about it after going to the city."

After the couple discussed the night talk in a low voice, they entered the dreamland one after another with expectations.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Uncle Zhou came over with a tractor. People in the countryside do things early.

The couple also went to bed early and got up early last night. After moving the goods, they simply ate some porridge and set off.

When the children at home wake up, anyway, there is also Ye Fu watching.

It's just right that they were beaten yesterday, and they will definitely be more honest today.

A filial son comes from under the stick, and a child will not be a tool if he is not beaten. When it is time to beat, you must beat. Otherwise, if you don't beat for three days, you will go to the roof and uncover the tiles.

Lin Xiuqing rarely went on a long trip. The farthest place she had been in her life was to the county town when she was ligated. Otherwise, she hadn't even been to the county town, and the farthest was just back and forth to her mother's house.

She actually wanted to go to the city to see it for a long time, but she always felt that she couldn't get away. In fact, if she really wanted to go, how could she not get away? She just couldn't let go of the children at home, and she bound herself to the family.

Rarely coming out, she was also happy and chirping, constantly asking what the city was like?

She wrapped her head and cheeks with a silk scarf, only revealing a pair of eyes, to avoid being gray-headed and face-dirty after arriving, and the whole person was still holding Ye Yaodong's arm, and the two were close together.

Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied on the surface.

"If you like going out, I will take you with me every time I deliver goods."

She smiled and patted him, "How can I follow every time? It delays things too much. Going for a whole day, the things at home don't need to be done, and the children don't need to be watched?"

"The two boys go to school, the daughter is left at home, and my father and the old lady can watch. If you are afraid she is bored, you can also send her to A Guang's house to keep his daughter company. If she has something to play with, she won't look for you."

"Talk about it later. At most, go once or twice to be fresh. Who has nothing to do and runs to the city all day, so far."

"Anyway, if you want to go, just go. Don't always feel that the family can't do without you, and you must watch at home."

"I just don't worry after leaving home. The workshop is still there, and the children are still at home. After going out, I always think about it."

"Then there is no way."

If you don't worry yourself, it doesn't matter what others say.

As the tractor kept moving and shaking, the couple gradually lost the desire to talk, and as time went by, Lin Xiuqing also felt a bit listless.

Sitting on a tractor for a long time is not a good experience.

It wasn't until arriving in the city that she became energetic again, and she stood up and lay on the heightened wooden board to look at the street, and her spirit also returned to excitement.

Ye Yaodong continued to close his eyes and rest, not caring about her.

"Adong, have we arrived in the city? Is it almost to the market?"

"There are many people on the street at this time, stopping and going, it may take twenty minutes to half an hour, not necessarily."

"Oh." Lin Xiuqing continued to lie down and look around.

Until the building of the aquatic product market was far away, and the words of the aquatic product wholesale market were revealed in her eyes, she called him again.

Ye Yaodong also stood up.

When the car stopped, the couple climbed over a bag of dried fish and jumped out of the car.

"Where is our shop? Where is my older brother's breakfast shop?"

"Your father is here, your older brother is over there, it's not far, you go take a look first."

"Am I going to send mooncakes to them?"

Lin Xiuqing happily carried the basket and ran away.

After coming out, she also didn't have the steadiness of a married woman. In fact, she was only 27 years old, and she was still a baby in her husband's mouth now.

Ye Yaodong didn't need her help to unload the goods anyway, and took turns with Uncle Zhou to carry them slowly.

It was just that after the father-in-law saw Aqing coming, he asked, and also ran out to help unload the goods.

After unloading, he also asked his father-in-law if anyone wanted to sell the shops around.

The father-in-law had been here for more than half a year and was the first batch to move in and open for business, and he was very familiar with the surroundings.

He was happy and patted Ye Yaodong on the shoulder, "Ah, I was also thinking about whether to let you buy a few more shops at the end of the year. The business has been very good this year, and the shops nearby have opened one after another. Look, the shops near our first exit are full, and several have opened around the second entrance."

"I was also thinking about discussing with you at the end of the year. If I don't have time to watch the shop, it's cost-effective to rent it out. Now it's much more lively than at the beginning of the year."

"I didn't expect you to come back on this trip and say you want to buy a shop. I'll find and ask for you later. I chatted with the shop owners nearby unintentionally before, and there are a few that want to sell."

"I heard it's at the third and fourth entrance. The location there is not very good. Now the fish sellers coming and going are all entering from the first and second entrance. That entrance is close to the farmland, and there is no one."

"It's just that you were lucky at that time and drew the first and second entrance. The best location was drawn by you, so the business is easy to do now."

Ye Yaodong silently endured the violent blow of his father-in-law. Don't look at the fact that he is old, the middle-aged and elderly who are used to farm work have great strength, and fortunately, his body is much stronger now.

"Hmm, that still has to rely on the roadside and the entrance close to the city village. If it's behind, it needs time cost. Who knows when the surroundings will be developed and lively."

"I'll ask later, it's best if someone sells near the second entrance."

"It's also fine if someone sells at the third entrance. Buy it in advance and put it in your hand for a year or two to see. Anyway, it won't be a loss."

It will be lively in a few years. Where there are people, there will be corresponding needs. A market can drive the economic development of the surroundings, and the surrounding industrial chain will also form slowly.

"Good, good, I'll ask for you first at this time."

Ye Yaodong watched him get busy and walked towards the shop.

Lin Mu was greeting customers, there were only two or three people in the shop, and Lin Xiuqing was weighing for the customers, collecting money after weighing, and helping to tie the dried fish with a rope for people to carry.

Mother and daughter cooperated.

This time point had already passed the time when the market had the most people, they were not busy, and sat down to rest after the customers left.

"Finished unloading?"

"Just finished, Father went to ask about the shop for us."

"Ask about what shop?"

Lin Xiuqing told her mother about their couple's plan, and Lin Mu also extremely approved.

"It's good to buy a few more shops. I also just wanted to tell you, let Adong ask if your older brother's shop is for sale? Xiang Hui has been running a breakfast shop for three months. He feels that the income is good now, better than farming at home, so he wants to buy the shop if possible."

Ye Yaodong was not surprised at all. The brother-in-law had already tasted the sweetness, and his ambition would naturally expand. Naturally, he would want to buy a shop and do it himself, saving the rent.

"My older brother probably won't sell it. We just came back from Zhejiang Province and earned a sum. He doesn't lack money at all."

The rent alone is five or six hundred, and his older brother is brain-damaged to sell it. Even if he wants to sell it, he will stop it.

Let his brother-in-law buy someone else's.

"Then we can only let Xiang Hui find one first. If there is a suitable one, buy it first, and then move after the shop expires. It's just a pity that the rent was paid for a whole year."

"That can't be helped. Who knew that the business would be so good that the brother-in-law wanted to buy a shop directly? Anyway, he earned money, and I guess there are more and more shops in the market now, and the shops near the second entrance are not easy to buy."

"Then it depends on his plan."

"It's not busy now, I'll go to older brother's place to turn around."

Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly said, "I'll go too."

The couple walked out again, and Lin Xiuqing felt that everything around was very curious.

Ye Yaodong watched his brother-in-law cleaning up the table, stood for a while to chat, and asked about the business during this period.

He also asked Lin Mu the same question, and Ye Yaodong refused directly, saying that his older brother would not sell, and let him make other plans.

Lin Xiang Hui also understood especially. The rent alone was five or six hundred, and it would take a few years to get back the capital. He didn't lack money, so who would be willing to sell? He originally just wanted to ask casually, holding a mentality of just in case.

However, it has been rented for a year now, and the rent has not expired. He is not in a hurry to buy, so he can do it first and save more capital.

The couple chatted with the brother-in-law and his wife for a while, and Ye Yaodong planned to take Lin Xiuqing to stroll around the market, and by the way, see how much change there was? How many shops were opened? The current price trend of fish goods in the market.

After they strolled around and came back, Lin Fu had already returned to the shop.

Seeing them stroll back, Lin Fu hurriedly greeted them.

"I asked, there are a few that want to sell, but they are all at the third and fourth entrance. However, people are not there."

"I also leaked the wind to the shop owners nearby, saying that we want to buy a shop. If they have relatives and friends who have shops to sell, they can come to me at any time, and I will call you then."

"Their shops are all closed, and there is no one guarding them, so no one came to the door. It shouldn't be that fast, it will take a few days to take a look."

This is a bit of a pity.

Ye Yaodong said, "That's fine, it's normal that no one is guarding. It's abnormal that someone is guarding. Anyway, our wind has leaked out, so wait and see. I guess it's not easy to ask for a phone number, right?"

"Not easy to ask. I heard that some are fishing at sea, and some villages don't have phones. Where to ask? Can only see if people who are familiar with nearby shops go back and help entrust a message, asking people to come to us."

"Then let's wait for news. It's not busy now, I'll take Aqing to stroll around the city."

"Don't be in a hurry, let's calculate the accounts for this period first. After calculating, you can stroll around, and when you want to leave, take the money and bring it home."

"Also good."

Lin Fu turned out a broken old notebook from the drawer. I don't know how many years it had been used, and it was still being used.

Before, I wanted to buy him a new one to record accounts, but he insisted that he had enough, and buying it was a waste.

Lin Fu pointed out the accounts after he left, how much he sold every day, one by one, and read them to him.

"When you weren't home last month, I accumulated too much money in my hand, and I couldn't sleep at night, so I found a gap when Aqing sent goods over, and followed the car back, and brought the money to her."

"This month, it basically sells two or three hundred a day. Together, I have more than 8200 now. Today's sales haven't been calculated yet, still in the drawer."

Ye Yaodong closed the account book and nodded, "Today's doesn't need to be calculated, so as not to be troublesome. We will go back in the afternoon, you go back with us? Rest for two days, and come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's been so long, and you haven't rested properly. The Mid-Autumn Festival still has to be rested."

Lin Fu hurriedly waved his hand, "This market hasn't rested, what are we resting? Not opening the door for one day is a loss for one day, that's losing dozens, a hundred yuan."

"Father, you haven't rested properly all year round. How about going home to take a look? It doesn't matter if you don't look at your grandson, but you don't look at the land at home? The pomelo is almost ripe, and the persimmon is already red."

"That... that's quite good, right? Is it all a bumper harvest?"

"Who knows if it's a bumper harvest? I haven't gone home to take a look either. You have to go back and take a look yourself. What if the second brother didn't serve the land well? Can you be at ease in your heart?"

Why say that the daughter is the father's little cotton-padded jacket? Lin Xiuqing knew her father's soft spot very well.

Farming for a lifetime, although entering the city, the old man will still miss the land at home, fearing that the land will be abandoned and not served well.

"But if we go back, no one will watch here..."

"We also earn a lot, where is it short of these two days? The festival still has to be celebrated. Before we leave in the afternoon, we will stick a red paper on the gate, saying that we are going home to celebrate the festival and leave a number. After the festival, we will come back. It's not bad for this day or two." Ye Yaodong also helped to say.

"That... also fine, then rest for two days, go back together in the afternoon, and come back the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Lin Mu asked, "What about your older brother? He probably won't be willing to go back."

"Yes, older brother and sister-in-law are not willing to go back, saying they won't go back, so I didn't persuade them. That is their own business. The rent money has been spent, so they must want to earn more back."

"Then we will go back. It's better to stay here and earn more money. You go out first, and we will go together after coming back."

"Good." Lin Xiuqing responded happily.

"Or close the shop early and go to the city to stroll around? After coming here for so long, you probably only turn around the market, and haven't been to the city, right?" Ye Yaodong invited the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The two shook their heads together.

"We won't go, take a look here, and can sell a little more."

"Are you going to rest for two days? Where is it short of this point? Coming out for more than half a year, going back once, and it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you have to bring something back for the children and relatives at home?"

Lin Xiuqing also followed to persuade, "Yes, going back to celebrate the festival, just go out and take a look. Otherwise, people ask you what is in the city, what people in the city eat and wear, and what the supply and marketing cooperative sells, you can't tell, how awkward."

Lin Mu looked at Lin Fu and agreed first.

"That's also true. Last time I went back, the villagers surrounded us and asked this and that, but we couldn't tell, and could only say we stayed in the market and didn't go anywhere."

Lin Xiuqing happily held her mother's arm, "Right, so you still have to go out and take a look."

Lin Fu couldn't refuse, "Then let's tidy up the things in the shop first, then lock the gate, Aqing take a red paper to write, and stick it on the gate together."

"Good."

Several people were busy in the shop for a while before finishing tidying up and closing the door.

Ye Yaodong went to tell Lin Xiang Hui while they were tidying up, and then they sat on Uncle Zhou's tractor to go to the city center.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu were also the first time to go out for a stroll, and like Lin Xiuqing, they were surprised at everything, but better than her, after all, they had stayed for more than half a year, and the market entrance was also very lively.

Ye Yaodong carried the basket behind them and carried things for them.

Those they were reluctant to buy, Lin Xiuqing bought for them.

As long as she felt they could be used, she also bought them for her father and mother, and some cheap little toys that children could play with on the street stall, she also bought some for her nephews and nieces.

Ye Yaodong only took a fancy to leather shoes, and he also bought a pair for his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife. They worked hard.

By the way, he also asked Lin Xiuqing for the shoe sizes of her father, mother, and the old lady, and bought a pair for each of them.

Coming to the city today is also to take his wife shopping. Earning money and celebrating the festival, of course, have to consume well.

I don't know if it's because the festival is coming, but there are exceptionally many people in the department store today, many bicycles, and even more street vendors.

When they were strolling, they had to squeeze back and forth.

The basket Ye Yaodong was carrying had been filled with miscellaneous things, and he was still holding many shoe boxes in his hands.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu were worried about spending more money if they continued to stroll. After buying leather shoes, they said directly that they didn't want to stroll anymore and had to go back to the village around the market to pack their luggage.

They then returned the same way to find the tractor.

The two old people watched the couple buy this and that for them, and they were very satisfied in their hearts. They complained about them spending money indiscriminately, but the smiles on their faces never stopped.

After Ye Yaodong went back, he got the business turnover calculated by Lin Fu, and gave the monthly wages to the two old people on the spot, and also packed two hundred yuan in red envelopes as festival red envelopes.

Saying it was a festival red envelope, this made them unable to refuse.

The two old people helped him a lot, relying entirely on them to help sell goods, so he could rest assured to catch fish at home and provide sources of goods.

He wouldn't think of people too darkly. After all, he was also a beneficiary, and there were not many people he could trust. When he should be generous, he had to be generous.

"This... you bought this and that for us, and now you give red envelopes, this is too much..."

"Not much, compared to what you helped me earn, how much is this? At the end of the year, I have to pack a big red envelope for you."

"We are old, and watching the shop is already more than what workers earn..."

"You are also hard-working watching the shop in the market. You get up before dawn every day and have never slept well. Take it, pack things up and go back early."

Lin Xiuqing also pushed her father and mother's hands back, "Don't delay, just take what is given to you. It's rare to celebrate the festival, let's go back early happily. If we delay too late, it will be dark when we get home."

"That's good, that's good, then we will take it." Lin Mu didn't pretend much.

She also had a count in her heart. In the past half a year, relying on the shop in the city, the son-in-law earned more than one ten-thousand-yuan household.

Since it was given to them, they just took it.

After the whole family packed up everything, they locked the door and stepped on the road home.

Ye Fu and Ye Mu didn't expect that they went to the city and brought back gifts when they came back.

In this era, having a pair of leather shoes is a very glorious thing. In their countryside, because they have to work or go to sea, most of them wear liberation shoes and rain boots, and very, very few wear leather shoes.

Both were extremely happy.

Ye Mu joyfully changed into them immediately and walked back and forth in the room.

"I lack a pair of leather shoes for work. I have been thinking about buying a pair for a long time. You bought it to my heart's content."

Ye Fu held it in his hand and was reluctant to wear it, "I work all day, when can I wear the leather shoes you bought?"

"You can wear it now."

The old lady also touched the leather shoes and smiled, "These shoes are good, they look shiny, I have to wear them out to show others..."

"Good, good, good, remember to tell other old men and old ladies when you go out that I bought them, that I filialized you, and let them envy you to death." Ye Yaodong said happily.

"Hey, that's for sure. Of course, I have to let people know that you bought me leather shoes. I'm at this age, and I'm wearing what others haven't worn. One by one, they should envy me for having a good grandson."

No need for others to envy, the two boys in the family were already envious to death. They hadn't worn leather shoes either. This time, finally, there was no share for them, sigh... ===== CHAPTER 947 =====
