Chapter 956: Following the Footsteps

~21 min read 4,199 words

After the meal, Ye Yaodong took the contract and the final payment for the shop he bought in the afternoon and gave it to her, and by the way, told her that each of the three children had one.

"We ordered boats and bought shops, and only spent 20,000 yuan in total. Although the boat only paid a deposit, the final payment is not much when calculated. It will be paid off one by one starting from the second half of next year, which is not much pressure for us."

Lin Xiuqing agreed. "Hmm, when a boat is built, we will pay for one boat and drive it back. Paying little by little will not make the heart ache so much."

"So we should still have 60,000 yuan in our hands, which is quite loose."

Lin Xiuqing was alert for a moment when she heard him say this. "What else do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just want to buy a tractor to deliver goods, hehe. We will only use more and more cars, and more and more frequently. It's very convenient and saves trouble to have one at home, so we don't have to always call others."

"The boys raised at home are still there. While watching the workshop, sometimes they can also be called to deliver goods. Tractors are learned very quickly anyway."

Ye Yaodong said while looking at her eagerly. "12 horsepower only costs about 4,000, and 25 horsepower costs 6,000, wife..."

"We are quite loose now, mainly because we can use it when we buy it, and there are many places to use it. I discussed it with Father today, and Father had no opinion."

"Whether you have money or not, buy a new car for the New Year!"

"Fart!" Lin Xiuqing glared at him. "People say whether you have money or not, marry a wife for the New Year. How did it become a new car in your mouth?"

"No problem, a car is a man's second wife."

Lin Xiuqing pinched him. "Tomorrow, see how much it costs to buy land. After the land is bought, it has to be enclosed. This fish sauce workshop is not like dried fish, which can be sun-dried in the open air. This fermentation also needs a place to store, and a large warehouse must be built for storage."

"First enclose the wall. If there is fermentation, buy nylon cloth to cover it simply. Anyway, the weather will be cool next, and there won't be any typhoons, so don't be afraid of being lifted. Then look at the sales situation next year. If it sells well, we will do it in a big way and build all the warehouses."

"Building the wall and buying the land should only cost three or four thousand yuan. Adding the tractor, it only costs 10,000 yuan. We can still have 50,000 in our hands, which is enough."

"Don't you also want to add a floor to the house?"

"Yes, adding a floor won't cost much, just one or two thousand. Because of the old lady's room, our house will be bigger, and the area added will also be bigger, but it will cost a few hundred more at most. The money left in our hands is enough."

Lin Xiuqing calculated for him and had nothing to say, and softened, just muttering a few words.

"You just don't feel comfortable if you don't spend the money. You were talking well a few days ago, and today another tractor popped up."

"Isn't this because I saw that only three shops were bought today, and the hands are still very loose?"

"So it's just feeling that there is too much money in hand, or wanting to spend it."

"If you think so, it's no problem. Anyway, I bought it in the place that should be bought, and didn't spend it randomly."

Lin Xiuqing asked helplessly: "How long does it take to buy a tractor?"

"I don't know. I just asked about the price from the guard, and didn't let me in. If you want to go in and visit, you need a certificate from the unit or village committee. Buying is the same."

"Then if you want to buy, buy one. When you go to drive a motorcycle, go to the factory to take a look by the way. Let Father go with you. This shouldn't be bought immediately and can be driven back immediately, right?"

"It shouldn't be so fast. Personal purchase was only opened at the beginning of this year. I estimate that many are queuing up there waiting. It must also be to fill in a subscription form or something, and then wait. If it can be driven back immediately, it's better."

"Okay, then buy it."

Ye Yaodong held her cheeks and kissed her hard.

"I knew you had no opinion."

"Go away..."

"Don't."

"I'm going out to clean the table."

"Don't, there's my mother."

Lin Xiuqing pinched him. Could she not know his crooked mind?

Full and warm, thinking about lust.

For the past few days, he has been running around outside, and went to bed to rest as soon as he got home. He doesn't have to go out tomorrow, and this guy started to have crooked ideas again.

"Let me go first, I'm going to find two pieces of clothes for the two. Just finished eating and was pulled in by you, I don't know if the two are still standing there."

"Think too much, we are not around, there is the old lady, how can they still be standing there? They must have sat down to eat by now."

"I'll go out and see, find them a few pieces of clothes. The weather is cool, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. You are really something, still telling them to go into the water to catch snails, don't know the water is cool now? Still think it's July or August? It's already October."

"Isn't this thinking that the temperature during the day is still quite high? Who knew they would keep soaking in the water to play."

"Think and know, those children are so greedy for play, you let them go into the water, have a bright and upright opportunity, they must play hard."

Lin Xiuqing patted him twice more, letting him loosen. "I'll go out and see."

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to follow her out together.

The two children were indeed sitting at the dining table eating. It's just that the two had no clothes to wear, and each of them was wrapped in a bed sheet, one was their own, and one was the old lady's.

Lin Xiuqing pretended not to see, and went into their room to turn over and find clothes for them.

And Ye Yaodong walked to the table and looked at it. "The food is not bad, and two eggs were fried."

The two had been playing for a day, were hungry long ago, and were gobbling up the food there, only nodding without speaking.

"Happy playing today?"

Both continued to nod.

"If you catch a cold tomorrow, then you don't have to go to school, which is even better, right?"

Both continued to nod.

Then hurriedly shook their heads.

"Dad, you are talking nonsense, I didn't think so."

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead. "Skin is itchy. Don't go anywhere after eating, both of you continue to stand in the corner."

"I haven't finished my homework yet."

"Then you write your homework first, Yangyang stands on the side, wait until you finish writing, he will sleep, change you to continue standing, how long he stands, you will follow and stand for how long after you finish writing."

Ye Cheng-hu originally thought he found an excellent excuse to prevent standing, but didn't expect his father to come up with such a move. He bit his chopsticks and pondered what his father said, and then reacted.

Doesn't this mean how long he writes his homework, he has to stand for how long later? Write fast, then stand less; write slow, then stand long?

"Then Brother, you have to finish writing early. If you finish writing early, we can still have time to watch small picture books for a while."

Ye Cheng-hu sighed. "Know it."

"Children are not allowed to sigh, how many times have I told you."

"Know it."

Ye Yaodong saw the two eating with their heads down, so he didn't care about them, and went out to stroll around the village himself.

Unexpectedly, what he heard was discussing buying a boat. It just happened that he saw him coming, and someone immediately came to pull him.

"Ah Dong, do you know where the shipyard in the city is?"

"Ah? You guys want to go to the shipyard in the city to see?"

"Right, everyone discussed it, feeling that it's better to go to the city to take a look. It's just that I don't know where the shipyard in the city is. The farthest everyone has been in their lives is the county town, where would they know where the city is?"

"You are more knowledgeable, go to the most places, heard that you just came back from the provincial capital, and go to the city every three days. You should know where the shipyard in the city is, right?"

"I don't know which people are so desperate, ordered so many boats, and the delivery period is arranged until the year after next, harming us all wanting to order boats but not daring to order. Now can only think of ways, see if other places can be earlier."

"Everyone discussed for a few days, still not dead-hearted, thinking about pooling a road fee, ten or so people go to the city together to see, it just happens you came, so ask you to see."

Ye Yaodong silently answered a sentence in his heart, it was exactly his old man.

"I have been to the shipyard in the city once, but I don't have time to accompany you. I just came back from the city today. You can directly ask Uncle Zhou, let him take you there. Last time we asked for directions everywhere, the place we asked, he should still know the way."

"Ah, you have been there, then it's easy to handle, then we don't have to catch blind?"

"What does the shipyard in the city look like? Will it be bigger than our county town? Is it also by the sea?"

"Isn't what you asked nonsense? Which shipyard is not by the sea? If it's not built by the sea, where is it built?"

"Hehe... I didn't think much and asked it out."

Ye Yaodong simply described the shipyard in the city to them. In fact, it was no different. Except for a few sets of low bungalows built around a large open space, the venue in the middle, some open-air, some built with sheds, was also very simple, just the scale would be bigger.

"You will know when you go to see it, but it's best to bring someone who can speak Mandarin."

"Then everyone discuss, see when to rest for a day and go to see together, still have to go early, late, in case it's delayed again..."

Ye Yaodong listened to them discussing one word and one sentence there, and also thought in his heart, I don't know if Ah Guang and his son have that plan, did they discuss it when they went back at night?

He lifted his feet and planned to walk to his house, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again.

Forget it, how can there be always chasing and telling people to spend money? What should be said has been broken and fed into their father and son's mouths. It depends on whether they can digest it. If they can't digest it, he has no way.

Taking them to the provincial capital for two days, and taking them to the city, is enough.

Always chasing people to buy this and that like him, forcing his own ideas on others, is a bit annoying. Everyone's ideas are different. Although he is correct, others don't know.

Slowly, he walked back again, or go home and lie down. Today is another day of running around, rest and sleep early.

However, Ye Xiaoxi was still playing in the courtyard as usual, and the two hairy crabs in her hands looked a bit dying.

I don't know whose method taught her, or she thought of it herself.

The two hairy crabs were being thrown into the water by her non-stop at this time, and then picked up, thrown in and picked up, repeating non-stop, as if this could make it continue its life, not knowing that it might die faster.

It is also possible that she is just greedy for play and wants to play with water, so she tosses the two hairy crabs like this.

When Ye Yaodong passed by her, he reached out and rescued it. "Don't play, if the clothes are wet later, your mother will beat you, let you drill into the corner with your brother. Give these two to me to take in and cook, cook and share with you."

Take advantage of it still alive and cook it quickly, otherwise if it dies, it must be thrown away, which is a waste.

And Ye Xiaoxi also followed him happily, shouting happily, "Eat crab, eat crab~"

The two in the main room, one was still standing in the corner, probably heard the movement of him coming back at the door, so he still stood straight, otherwise he didn't believe he could be so honest.

The other was frowning and still doing homework. The pencil in his hand was so short that it was almost to his tiger's mouth, and the other end of the pencil was bitten with tooth marks, and the wood chips were bitten off a small piece.

Ye Yaodong shook his head. "Didn't your mother give you money to buy a pen?"

"Ah? Can't this still be written?"

"Okay."

I don't know, I thought he was very diligent and hardworking.

Ye Yaodong untied the rice straw tied on the two crab legs, then threw them into the pot, scooped a ladle of water and added it, patted a small piece of ginger and put it in, and went to the door to scoop a few shrimp.

If he really peeled the crab for this girl to eat, it would be troublesome to death, and he didn't have to eat it. Just take a few shrimp to cheat.

For a bite to eat, Ye Xiaoxi also curiously followed behind him, following in and out non-stop, and almost stepped on her by accident.

"Where is your mother?"

"Wash bang bang~"

"Oh."

Then he would cook water and boil it himself.

Ye Yaodong sat in front of the stove, grabbed a handful of rice straw from the firewood pile behind him, balled it into a ball, threw it into the stove with residual temperature, and stirred the remaining wood inside with fire tongs to see if there were any sparks to ignite the fire.

However, after so long, there were no sparks, only the soil embryos on both sides of the stove were still hot to the touch.

He took out the rice straw, touched a box of matches from his pocket, scratched it to ignite, and then used the fire tongs to clamp it and put it in.

A few branches behind were also touched and broken and put in.

This fire was started, and he couldn't just boil a crab and shrimp, wasting firewood. He searched and grabbed a handful of dried fish, rinsed it casually, and put it on top to steam. He simply drank two cups before sleeping.

Seafood with wine, the road of life has not been walked in vain.

Ye Xiaoxi also squatted beside him waiting, not leaving a step, supporting her chin with both hands, staring at the fire in the stove with burning eyes, and then tilted her head to look at him.

"Good?"

Ye Yaodong: "??"

"Good?"

"Are you asking if it's ready?"

She nodded hard.

"Not yet, it's early. Go play by yourself, I'll call you when it's ready."

Ye Cheng-yang pretended for a while and couldn't stand it. He also stretched his neck and looked at Ye Cheng-hu. "Ready? Finished writing?"

"No."

"Hurry up, I'm tired."

"Don't bother."

Ye Cheng-yang stared at the back of his head. "You have to stand too!"

"Shut up, don't be noisy."

Ye Yaodong looked at the time. "Did your mother time you?"

"Yes, Mom just said it's exactly 7 o'clock."

"Okay, then stand."

When Lin Xiuqing came out of the room with a basin of water, she smelled a fragrance.

"Just finished eating, what are you cooking again?"

"Two hairy crabs were almost played to death by her. I thought don't waste it, so I cooked it for her in advance."

"Two crabs, if they are played to death, throw them away. Still wasting firewood to cook, waste."

"Anyway, don't go up the mountain to cut firewood yourself."

Lin Xiuqing didn't care about him. Anyway, she didn't ask her to cook, he tossed himself.

After pouring the bath water, she went back to the room to busy herself with the spoils she bought when shopping today. Anyway, the children had him watching.

When a group of children came back, her rice and dishes were also out of the pot. At the same time, bursts of scolding and crying and shouting sounded at the door next door.

"Third Uncle told me to go into the water to catch snails..."

"It's Third Uncle..."

"Third Uncle shouted in the morning that we should catch snails for him..."

"Ah, don't hit, don't hit... we were just listening to Third Uncle..."

Ye Yaodong touched his nose, feeling quite embarrassed, and hurriedly carried his two soaking wet sons home, pretending he knew nothing.

But the movement next door couldn't stop. The two families were so close that every little disturbance reached their ears, not to mention that they were scolding loudly at this time.

"Your Third Uncle told you to eat shit, will you eat it?"

"Third Uncle told me to do it, so I did it."

"Then go eat shit for me."

"He didn't tell me to eat shit."

Sister-in-law Ye's lungs were about to explode. "Each one is a debt collector. What's the use of giving birth to you? You only know how to anger me... beat you two coffin sons to death..."

"Mom, I went to cut pig grass, we fed the pigs in the afternoon and evening... it has nothing to do with us..." Ye Jingjing also jumped up and down at the door.

"Still has nothing to do with you? You went out without closing the door, the house is like being robbed, the broom fell and you didn't help it up, the ground is full of chicken droppings and duck droppings..."

"Do you think you won't be beaten if you hold a handful of pig grass and pretend? Look at you, is there any dry place on your body? Still have the face to say it has nothing to do with you... not one is well-behaved..."

Sister-in-law Ye also scolded unyieldingly: "Each one's skin is itchy. How was it explained before leaving? Tell you to watch the house, watch the house, is this how you watch it? Look at your feet, they are all wrinkled. Did you not go to school today?"

"No, no, not, not, we went to school, we went to school..."

"Really? I think you didn't go..."

"Yes..."

The old lady's voice also sounded at the door. "Don't hit, don't hit first, let them take a bath and change clothes first. They are all wet, and they will catch a cold later."

"Deserve it, is there any dry place on their whole body? Still catching snails, can you catch snails like this?"

"Yes, we also caught hairy crabs, accidentally slipped, fell into the water and it became like this. Ah Jiang was very mean and splashed water on me, so we fought in the water... no... we just caught hairy crabs and caught snails..."

Sister-in-law Ye hit Ye Cheng-hai's calf with a whip, and a red mark appeared directly.

"Fought in the water, right? Really owe a beating..."

"Obviously he messed with me first..."

"What is everyone, everyone. If you don't go into the water, can others mess with you?"

"Third Uncle told me to catch snails for him."

"Your Third Uncle didn't tell you to catch several buckets for him either. It's just greedy for play, deserve a beating." After the old lady finished speaking, she also lifted her feet and returned to her courtyard, ignoring them, deserve to be beaten.

When Father Ye and Mother Ye came over, they originally wanted to stop it, but after knowing the cause and effect, they also said "deserve it" and ignored them.

Ye Cheng-hu and Ye Cheng-yang didn't get beaten, but they were also honestly shrinking like quails. As soon as they came back, they didn't say a word, trying to minimize their presence.

Lin Xiuqing didn't punish them, and they were already standing against the wall actively.

She glanced at them sideways. "Get out and take a bath, then go stand there."

The two hurriedly took off their clothes, and the two naked little yellow chickens hurriedly ran to the back door to take a bath. After washing, they went to the corner to stand naked, extremely active and honest, just to avoid being beaten.

Ye Xiaoxi was extremely curious, holding two crabs, walking back and forth in front of the two brothers.

Watching them nervous to death, both hands tightly covered their crotches, fearing she would put the hairy crabs on them.

"Shameful face!"

"Brother... shameful face~"

"Go away!"

"Don't~"

Ye Xiaoxi was also very bad, carrying the crabs in front of them and walking back and forth, shouting "shameful face" non-stop.

The two little boys were also said to be red-faced by her, ashamed, and then angry from embarrassment.

"Go away, or I'll beat you later."

"Bite you!"

She lifted the crabs and carried them in front of them, and the two moved apart left and right instantly.

Ye Xiaoxi seemed to have discovered a new continent, happily taking the crabs to scare them. "Bite you, bite you~"

Instantly, the three of them were running around the house and screaming.

Ye Yaodong was sitting in his seat, stealing food first, and didn't care about them. Anyway, there was a mother there.

"All stand honestly."

Lin Xiuqing frowned and scolded, and then carried Ye Xiaoxi into his arms.

Ye Yaodong also fed Ye Xiaoxi two mouthfuls by the way.

Lin Xiuqing glared at him fiercely. The culprit was him, and he didn't care about anything.

"Did you go to school today?"

"Yes, we all honestly went to school." The two stood honestly in the corner again.

"Really?"

"Really, because Brother Ah Hai and the others were afraid that if they didn't go to school, there would be no small picture books and no dolls, so we were all very honest."

"Then why are you soaking wet from head to toe?"

"Because Brother Ah Hai and Brother Ah Jiang fought in the water, and then we followed and splashed water." Ye Cheng-hu told everything he knew.

"How many clothes did you change today?"

Ye Cheng-hu looked at Ye Cheng-yang. Ye Cheng-yang closed his mouth tightly and looked forward, covering his little penis in front with both hands, without saying a word.

He had no choice but to whisper: "Three... three pieces."

"So there are no clothes to wear, so you can only stand naked in the corner?"

Ye Cheng-hu also learned from Ye Cheng-yang, pursed his mouth tightly, looked forward, and didn't say a word.

If he had known, he wouldn't have answered just now.

Lin Xiuqing just said, the two usually wear at least a pair of boxer shorts after taking a bath, but today they stood there naked and let Ye Xiaoxi scare them.

The old lady hurriedly smoothed things over. "Eat first, eat first, let them stand. You haven't been at home all day, you must not have eaten well outside. Don't be hungry. Since everyone is here, hurry up and eat first."

Ye Xiaoxi's cheeks were bulging, and she didn't forget to turn her head to provoke, stretching her index finger and drawing twice on her face, saying vaguely "shameful".

"You eat your food, otherwise you will have to go to the corner to stand later."

She became honest instantly, and hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.

"You are both clever and bad, who are you like?"

"Like me, a daughter is like her father. Isn't this obvious? Looks like me, temper like me, that clever energy is also like me, everywhere is like me."

"Only know how to stick gold on your own face."

"What I said is the truth, the two standing in the corner are like you."
