Chapter 966: Settling accounts

Ye Chenghai looked at one on the left, one on the right, two small ones under his feet, and several palms spread flat in front, so angry that his breathing became heavy, almost becoming a bull.

"Still not letting go of me? If you don't let go, how can I go get the money?"

"Wow! Money, everyone has money!"

Everyone immediately cheered and let go of Ye Chenghai, very happy. Today, not only can they eat a big meal, but they didn't expect to have money to receive.

Thanks to Ye Chenghe!

"Haha, one dime each, Ahai brother."

"So annoying."

"It's one dime each, not everyone shares one dime!"

"I know, are you annoying? Keep talking."

"Big brother, my pants are broken, you have to compensate me one yuan!"

Ye Chenghai's eyes were about to stare into bull eyes, and he rushed directly towards Ye Chenghe.

Ye Chenghe had long been prepared. Seeing him move, he immediately hid beside his mother, "Mom said it, not me. You broke my pants, so you have to compensate. Otherwise, Mom will beat you."

Watching Ye Chenghai rush over regardless, he circled around the table again. Now no one caught him.

"Before Mom beats me, I'll beat you to death first!"

"Mom, big brother is not convinced, doesn't want to compensate for the money, he just wants to save money to marry a wife."

"Ahai brother is called having a wife and forgetting his mother." Ye Chengjiang stood on the side watching the show, and didn't forget to fan the flames.

"Mom, big brother treats your words as wind in his ears!"

Ye Chenghai's lungs were about to explode. One by one, they were all going to rebel, and actually united to bully him, this big brother.

The adults at the table looked at their farce amusingly. Ye's eldest sister-in-law also said to Ye Chenghai: "The clothes and pants you are wearing were newly made last year. You broke his pants, don't you have to compensate? If you don't compensate, use your new New Year clothes to offset it. It just so happens that when the New Year comes, you don't have to buy clothes."

"I want, of course I want new clothes, that idiot Ye Chenghe has them, of course I want them too."

"Then compensate me for the money!" Ye Chenghe was triumphant. Being able to checkmate his big brother, so what if he scolded him as an idiot?

Anyway, he is scolded every day, it doesn't hurt or itch, and he won't lose a piece of meat, and he can get one yuan for nothing.

Third uncle's idea is too great. In this way, everyone has a dime. He contributed the most and was beaten, so it is right to have one yuan.

Ye Chenghai was furious, but he couldn't catch anyone, and other younger brothers and sisters were constantly urging him to get money, so he had to hum heavily in anger and go into the house.

It's not too late to take revenge later!

Ye Chengjiang and a group of people immediately followed him into the house. Everyone was very looking forward to it. A dime is a huge sum of money.

"All of you wait outside, don't come in, don't peek!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the children who stopped at the entrance again, waiting excitedly, and sighed, "Ahai is quite rich, he has saved quite a lot of private money?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and glanced at him, "Isn't it all saved by you for him?"

"That is also his labor."

Aguang was also gloating, "This time it's a big bleeding, the wife's money is about to be emptied."

Ye Chenghai's face was about to turn black like the bottom of a pot. In front of him were large and small palms spread out, and blinding smiles, as well as constant urging.

He felt heartache for a dime each, and distributed them one by one. Until the end, seeing the two little ones, Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, also spreading their hands, he felt a bit reluctant.

Ye Chenghe was also very good at stabbing people's hearts, and was very not afraid of death, "Big brother, they also grabbed me just now, they have a share too, you can't bully them for being small, third uncle and little uncle are both watching!"

"Shut up!"

"Except for them, you have to compensate me one yuan, hurry up, Mom said."

Ye Chenghai glared at him fiercely, "You come over, if you don't come over, how can I give you the money?"

"No, if I go over, I'll be throwing myself into the net, you throw it over."

"You come over and take it yourself."

"It's the same if you throw it over!"

Ye Chengyang's eyes rolled, and he smiled slyly, "Chenghe brother, I'll help you go ask Ahai brother for it, you share half with me!"

Ye Chenghai turned his head in surprise and glared at Ye Chengyang.

Ye Chengyang was not afraid of him, and looked at him happily with his neck stuck, "Help share half, give money!"

Ye Chenghe felt that this stalemate was not a way. Let Yangyang help take it, and share half, so he still has five dimes, which is more than everyone else, and he didn't get beaten for nothing.

"Yes, give money, Yangyang help me take it, I'll share half with him!"

The adults at the table watched and were happy.

"These children are like singing a play!" Ye's second sister-in-law said happily, anyway, it was not her family's children fighting.

"Having many children in the family is like this, noisy all day long, arguing non-stop. It's good that there is school. After half a month, when the winter vacation starts, it will be even worse. It will be noisy to the sky, and the roof will be lifted." Ye Mu said while shaking her head with disdain.

Ye Huimei also said: "This also seems lively, there is popularity. Like our family, there is only one child, Xiaoyu. If you want to argue, you can't argue, and if you want to play, you can't find a companion."

"If you are busy at work, just send her over, let Xiaoyu be a companion with Xiaojiu, it's just right that the two are about the same age and can play together. The others are too big, and they will run away in a blink of an eye."

Speaking of Ye Xiaoxi, she was also impatient. She didn't give money for a long time.

"De de~ money money~"

"Money money~" Pei Yu also followed her and shouted.

Ye Xiaoxi urged twice, impatient, and went to pull Ye Chenghai's pants, "Hurry up, money money, give money money~"

Ye Chenghai's pants were almost pulled by her.

Ye Chengyang also urged him, "Hurry up, dawdling, all have to be given."

"This is what Mom said you have to compensate, do you dare not give it to me? At night, she will take away all your private money!"

Ye Chenghai was so angry that his teeth itched, so he had to reluctantly hand over the only one-yuan banknote he had just taken out to Ye Chengyang.

Heartache to dripping blood.

This is one of his only three one-yuan banknotes, and he specifically exchanged it with third uncle, just for the convenience of hiding.

"You remember this, Ye Chengyang!"

"Remembered, remembered, I definitely remembered, hehe!" Ye Chengyang didn't take his threat to heart, happily quickly took the money to Ye Chenghe, and then divided the loot.

After Ye Chenghe got the money, he raised it happily, "Thank you big brother! Hahahaha, picked up one yuan for nothing."

"Ye Chenghe, if I don't beat you to death later, I'll take your surname!"

Ye Jingjing whispered: "Brother, we are all the same surname."

"Hahaha, you idiot!" Ye Chenghe slapped his thigh and laughed wildly.

"Your mother's Ye Chenghe..."

"Mom, big brother scolded you, big brother said your mother's!"

Ye Chenghe caught the handle, and was instantly happy and quickly ran to tell Ye's eldest sister-in-law, as if he could get the Shangfang sword and put his big brother to death.

However, the person who finally cried bitterly was still him.

Ye's eldest sister-in-law looked at his excited face, lightly pulled the money from his hand, and then put it into her pocket.

Ye Chenghe's eyes widened more and more.

"Ah? Mom? This is my money!"

"What is your money? These clothes were also made by me spending money to buy cloth and cotton. Is the compensation for you? If it is broken, of course it is compensated to me. What does it have to do with you?"

"No, the clothes you made for me are of course mine. Big brother broke my clothes, of course it is compensated to me. How can you take my money away?"

"You eat mine, live in mine, wear mine, spend mine, use mine, what is yours? You are all born by me."

"But this is what I asked big brother to compensate, I also promised Yangyang, share half with him."

"Then you take your private money and take out five dimes to share with him."

"How can you take my private money..."

Ye Chenghe's heart was cold, why did he have to pay money instead? Shouldn't he earn half?

"You promised it yourself, of course you have to make up for it yourself."

Ye Chenghai saw the money taken away by his mother, and Ye Chenghe got nothing, and laughed loudly, happy.

Ye Xiaoxi by his feet was about to run away, she didn't get money for a long time, she angrily put her hands on her hips, frowned and stomped her feet.

"Ahai! Give money! Money money!"

"Ah! Give give give give give, give to you give to you..."

Ye Chenghe didn't get any good, and the bamboo basket drew water in vain. Ye Chenghai also felt cool in his heart, and it was crisp to give money to the two little ones, and distributed a dime to each of them.

The two little girls each held a dime banknote in their hands, and they were so happy that they quickly ran towards their respective mothers.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and pinched Ye Xiaoxi's little nose, "The courage is quite fat, actually directly calling Ahai, so small and actually know that the brother is called Ahai?"

Ye Xiaoxi drilled into her arms excitedly, "Hug hug!"

She held the child on her lap, and by the way, said to Ye Chengyang: "Just kidding, don't wait there, Chenghe's money has been confiscated, there is no money to share with you, go play by yourself."

Ye Chengyang flattened his mouth in disappointment, and then walked towards Ye Chenghu, muttering in his heart: Chenghe brother is too useless, too stupid, actually confiscated, so stupid, and actually leaned over himself.

Ye's eldest sister-in-law smiled and said: "He promised to share half with Yangyang, of course he has to be called to take out money. Everyone is quite good at hiding private money now, I don't know how much money there is, just dig a little out of their hands. Hurry up and take the money."

Ye Chenghe cried without tears.

Stealing a chicken without losing rice, that's probably what he is like.

Ye Chengyang was happy again instantly.

Ye Chenghai also gloated, it's not that he was the only one bleeding heavily.

See if Ye Chenghe dares to pit him again in the future.

Kill one thousand, self-damage eight hundred.

Ye Yaodong also watched their big play happily. The two soul figures of the play each played a big board, and no one got any good. Everyone else took advantage, and Yangyang was the big winner.

Ye Chenghe was also very crisp. Since he was asked to share the money, he happily went home to take the money and distributed it to Ye Chengyang.

However, he was afraid that Ye Chenghai would beat him, so he carefully went through the back door, not daring to walk through the front door, the front door was being blocked by Ye Chenghai.

Ye Chenghai just looked at him gloomily, preparing to watch him bleed heavily first, and then find an opportunity to beat him later, so as not to beat him now and let him escape the opportunity of bleeding heavily, how can this work?

A group of children all got money for nothing. Just as they heard the sound of ding-ding, someone was carrying a pole and selling maltose, so everyone swarmed and rushed over, preparing to buy maltose to eat.

Ye Chenghe bled, and as usual, went to buy sugar to eat happily.

However, just after buying it, he was snatched away by Ye Chenghai just as he opened his mouth and prepared to lick it, and he held it in his mouth.

He dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, and could only stare at Ye Chenghai's back.

Not long after being beaten, he lost a large sum of money again, and was so arrogant before, where would he dare to provoke him again now, wishing to tuck his tail and be a man.

Aguang looked at the noise of those children and only felt envious. In his heart, he also thought about having a few more. Originally, his father only had him as a son, which was already few enough. Now he is almost 30 and still doesn't have a son, which is really a bit sad.

In the countryside, not having a son will be looked down upon by others. Even Huimei, now that she goes out, has a bunch of people asking her when she will have another one.

She can only smile and say that the policy does not allow it, and she has to wait five years.

In fact, she is also very anxious in her heart. As Aguang's family's foundation gets thicker and thicker, she also thinks about having a son quickly, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to keep the family business.

There are many people who eat the household.

It is also because he married too late. Who told him that he had no money in the past few years, his father was not at home much, and he had no mother, so no one arranged it for him.

It has only been rising like a rocket in the past two years, following Dongzi.

After Aguang finished envying, he asked Ye Yaodong, "What time are we going to the pottery factory tomorrow morning?"

"Eight o'clock?"

"That's fine, it gets light late in winter, it gets light at six o'clock, just sleep until you wake up naturally, and it won't be so cold when you get up and go out at eight o'clock."

"Hmm, anyway, riding a motorcycle will be there in a swoosh."

Ye Fu turned his head and suggested: "Why don't you just drive the tractor? Go to the factory to urge them, and by the way, see how much stock is available, and pull a trip back first? Anyway, it's on the way, isn't the motorcycle gasoline not easy to buy? Use it sparingly."

Ye Mu also echoed, "That's right, anyway, you have to go there, so drive the tractor, and by the way, pull a trip back with whatever quantity is available. I will filter it first, otherwise, wait for them to deliver the goods, who knows when? Filter it out one day early, and you can send it to the city one day early."

"That's fine."

The motorcycle plan was strangled again, and Aguang was happy for nothing just now.

However, the next day, before he drove the tractor there, the factory took the lead and sent a batch of large vats by truck, which saved him a trip.

As soon as the truck entered the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers. When they asked about Ye Yaodong's house, everyone pointed to the direction of the beach, and the truck drove over smoothly.

Ye Yaodong happened to be at the entrance of the workshop. Hearing the movement of the car, he ran out to take a look, quickly guided the truck to the workshop, and then called his younger brothers to unload the goods.

A truck is transported high, and it can only carry twenty or thirty large and small large vats.

The driver explained that a batch will be delivered today, and another batch will be delivered tomorrow, and the subsequent ones will also be delivered one after another.

He ordered two hundred in total in the first half of the month, first filter out a batch that is about to ferment, take it to the city to sell, and after selling, if the large vats are vacated, they can be taken back and reused.

After unloading the large vats, Ye Yaodong ordered the few boys to wash them clean first, just in time to take advantage of the sun today to dry them naturally.

After his mother got off work at night, let her find a few aunts to help filter in their spare time. This must be done in the presence of his mother.

Mainly, his mother knows best which large barrels were fermented when, so she must supervise and watch which barrel the few aunts filter.

Actually doing the work doesn't need her, there are a few boys to move and lift, she just needs to command and supervise.

The next day, the work was handed over to a few aunts in advance, and she didn't need her, Aqing would also watch and help.

The workshop also started to be busy, originally killing fish and drying dried fish all day without stopping, and now two or three people have been added to specifically filter fish sauce.

And the workers building the wall next door were also working hard. One side was all men, and one side, except for a few younger brothers, was all women.

Even Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law ran over to help with work and earn wages when they were free.

In the first half of the year, because he wanted to collect those dried mussels and dried sea melon seeds, the women in the village had been going out to sea intermittently for a long time to pry those shellfish and seafood on the stone walls.

The shellfish on the nearby islands were almost looted in those few months, and the harvest was not very good later, so fewer people went out, and he hadn't had these dried goods for a long time.

After half a year of recuperation, it is estimated that they will grow a little on the islands again, but now it is cold, and these women have work to do in the workshop now, so they won't think about going out to sea to dig shellfish again.

Ye Yaodong doesn't have those things like dried mussels. Although there are fewer patterns, the workshop has increased productivity recently, and many dried fish of various varieties have been dried.

The ones he often sells this year include dried dragon head fish, dried balang fish, dried peeled fish, dried eel, dried water valley fish, dried sardine, shrimp meat, etc., which are relatively common, and basically available all year round.

Like the seasonal toad fish, it is also being dried crazily recently. Those in the village who have power boats and can go to set sticky nets are all drying and selling them to him.

Acai is also collecting toad fish crazily for him recently. In the workshop now, besides drying large pieces of shrimp meat, it is dried toad fish, and other fragmented fish will account for less.

Middle-aged women haven't stopped their knives from November, killing from morning to night.

The scale of Ye Yaodong's workshop also began to emerge.

In the first half of the year, it was still cold and clear, just occasionally killing a batch of fish, and only a few younger brothers took turns watching.

Now in the second half of the year, since the weather turned cold, it has been busy and lively. The fresh fish collected by Ye Yaodong every day is more than the day before, plus filtering and transporting fish sauce, it is even more lively, full of vitality.

Some nosy people in the village, when they have nothing to do, will run to the entrance of his workshop to look.

After all, they are really curious. People have never stopped working every day. Dried fish are being dried in the workshop all day long. Now even the open space where the wall is being built on the side is also arranged for drying.

Since entering December, Ye Yaodong has not gone out to sea anymore. He let his father take Chen Jiarong out to collect nets. He wants to guard the workshop to help receive goods, supervise the workers to dry, and supervise the filtering. On the other side, the open space is also building a wall.

Since the day after the building was finished, his whole family has been frantically busy. How can Aqing be busy alone at home?

Even Ye Xiaoxi runs around alone during the day, turning around and playing by herself everywhere. Only the old lady occasionally looks at her when she hasn't run far.

In the evening after dinner, Lin Xiuqing also started to take the account book and press the calculator. Recently, she has been pressing the calculator every day after dinner.

"Wei ling... wei ling..."

"Wei ling... wei ling..."

"Can't you turn off the sound and press it?"

"If I turn it off, I won't know what the number I pressed is. Turning on the sound can also report the number, avoiding me pressing it wrong and calculating it wrong. If you think it's noisy, go to the room and lie down yourself."

"What are you calculating again at this time?"

"Calculating the expenditure of fish goods at Acai's place these few days, I have to settle a sum with him tomorrow."

"Oh, he is enough to earn just by collecting goods for us now. The fragmented goods at the pier, anyway, can't earn much money."

"Even if the mosquito legs are small, they are meat. Fortunately, we handed over the work of collecting fresh fish goods to him. Otherwise, the villagers who have boats are all drying dried toad fish for us now, and he would have to drink the northwest wind."

"It's just a winter. Originally, people don't go out to sea many times in winter. Even if we don't collect dried goods, they are also sitting there drying in the sun. When the weather warms up, there will be fewer toad fish, and everyone will drag nets as usual."

At this time, various sounds of running around came from upstairs. Not only upstairs in his house, but also upstairs next door, they were jumping there.

Every day after dinner, they all ran upstairs. Even though the upstairs was still empty, they were still tireless.

"Mom, when will you lay a mattress on the floor for us? We want to sleep on the floor at night, I told you yesterday."

"Don't bother me, I don't have time now."

"Can we move it up ourselves?"

"Whatever you want, don't make noise." Lin Xiuqing was calculating accounts, how could she have time to manage them, whatever they want.

After the two brothers got the order, they ran down thumping again, and when there were two or three steps left, they jumped down directly.

"Then we will move it ourselves, hey?"

"Mom, are we really moving it upstairs to sleep?"

"Mom? We will move upstairs to sleep tonight, hey? Is it okay? Mom..."

Ye Chenghu asked without getting a response, so he walked closer and closer, constantly asking, asking more and more cautiously.

Without an accurate answer, he was not at ease, for fear that after he acted on his own, when his mother had time, he would be settled accounts after autumn. Scolding was small, and beating was big.

If he didn't ask clearly, he wouldn't dare.

Lin Xiuqing was calculating accounts, and this noise, or that call, made them start to feel irritable.

It just so happened that there was a whip on the table, which was used to scare Ye Xiaoxi recently, let her eat well, and now it just came in handy again.

She frowned, picked up the whip, and skillfully hit her lower leg directly, "Told you not to make noise, don't make noise, are your ears deaf? Still keep asking, keep asking..."

Ye Chenghu didn't have time to defend, was hit twice, and quickly hid behind and ran to the back door.

"So fierce, I just asked... not even allowed to ask... oh..."

The back door was pitch black, he didn't look carefully, fell down, and sat on a butt of goose shit, and his hands were stained everywhere.

He wiped it twice on the stone on the side with disgust, quickly scooped a ladle of water to wash his hands, and sneaked into the house to take off his pants.

Ye Chengyang had already slipped back to the room when the style was wrong, not daring to touch his mother's brow.

"Big brother, why are you bare-assed? Where are your pants?"

"None of your business, it's all because you told me to ask Mom, and I was beaten."

"Yes, I told you to ask, Mom said whatever, then shouldn't we just move it directly? Why do you have to lean over and keep asking? Aren't you asking for a beating? Knowing that she has no time to calculate accounts."

"I just want to hear her say it for sure?"

"You are stupid! Hurry up, we will move this mattress under the bed to the floor upstairs."

"Will Mom be angry? If she is angry, I will say you said it."

"Why are you getting stupider and stupider, like Chenghe brother?"

"Nonsense, I am much smarter than him. Hurry up and move, we will lift it up together, while Mom is not paying attention to calculating accounts."

Lin Xiuqing kept pressing the calculator, Ye Yaodong sat on the side watching the little movements of the two sons, opening one eye and closing one eye.

"How much money do we spend every month now?"

"That's a lot. The aunts who kill fish were called 4 last month. After the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law finished building the house in these two days, they also vacated their hands and went to kill fish together. There are 6 of them. Fish sauce filtering invited 4 more today. These ten people are estimated to have to work continuously."

"And Chen Shi and the other 6, and father and mother also have to count wages, which is equivalent to the workshop here, we are estimated to have seven hundred yuan every month. Then in the city, the wages of my father and mother also have to be a sum, which is eight hundred."

"The workers who are still building the house are not counted for the time being, that has to wait until after it is finished to count how many days they worked."

"And also, the tractor is transporting gravel back and forth every day. Although it is said that there is no need to invite others, the tractor at home can do it, but diesel is also an expenditure."

Ye Yaodong was calculating for her with heartache. When he heard that the tractor saved money, he was immediately comforted, "Oh, then this saves money, it is cheaper than calling Zhou Shu to do it."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, "The big money has been spent, isn't it just feeling that as long as the diesel money is very cheap?"

"More than a dozen workers in the workshop are building walls there, which is equivalent to spending thirty yuan a day, which is nine hundred yuan a month. Rice and meat also cost a lot of money. It is estimated that it will take one thousand yuan a month here."

"It's also okay in the city, every ten days or half a month, we can go and collect a sum of money back, looking at it, not much has been spent, all are collected and taken out to spend."

Thinking so is also right, Ye Yaodong relaxed his whole body and crossed his legs again, leaning against the wall.

"It's good that what we earn is not enough to stick, I am still counting on our money rolling more and more."

"Soon, it will be sticking money soon. Acai sends two or three thousand jin every day, and you told him to send more tomorrow today."

"This doesn't matter, then stick a little more, anyway, drying it as inventory won't be gone. It will naturally return to the capital continuously next year. It is just paying the cost in advance now, and next year's will all be earned."

"Fortunately, there are still tens of thousands of yuan on hand, not as planned at the beginning, spending half of it. Otherwise, if you get tens of thousands of jin, tens of thousands of jin of inventory, we will also have to press tens of thousands of yuan into it."

As soon as Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she felt bad. "Tens of thousands of yuan is too much, you can't press all the family into the goods, at most you can only hoard one hundred thousand jin, press twenty thousand yuan of inventory, and you have to keep money on hand for turnover."

"The fish sauce workshop is still being built there, these all need costs, and there is an eight thousand yuan balance for the large boat at the end of the year."

Ye Yaodong thought it was right for her to calculate, "Then we can hoard about one hundred thousand jin, which should be able to sell for more than half a year. At that time, supplement a little bit when it is zero and scattered in summer, and by the way, dry a little more cuttlefish."

Lin Xiuqing nodded desperately, and her heart was relieved.

This account really must be recorded every day, especially Acai's side, it must be passed through every day, there are too many goods and money coming in and out.

"I think the fish sauce filtered out last night and today is quite beautiful, quite fragrant, and the taste is not bad when cooked today. After two or three days, it will be almost time to pull a car to the city to test the water."

Lin Xiuqing nodded desperately, now waiting for this to produce results. ===== CHAPTER 967 =====
