~24 min read 4,716 words

Lin Xiuqing saw him come back and hurriedly greeted him.

"Why did you come back at this point? The food is still hot in the pot, eat first."

Ye Yaodong inserted the rocker directly into the iron railing on the window by the door, took off the hat on his head and gave it to her. "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands first."

Before washing his hands, he went back to the room to put the gun away.

The guns at home were all put on the very top of the cabinet by him. No matter how the children took them, they couldn't touch them. Ordinary people couldn't see them when they entered the room. He even specially stepped on a stool when he took and put them, not even a foot was exposed, hiding them tightly.

The children at home are too naughty, so they can only be put in a higher place.

Lin Xiuqing followed him closely. "Is it smooth?"

"About the same."

"Do you still want to send it tomorrow? If you still want to send it tomorrow, then get up earlier and go earlier, so as not to delay until so late."

"No need, still the same time as today. There was something delayed today. A Guang went to rent a house and delayed for a while. I went to the army to send fish sauce and dried fish, ran back and forth twice, came back to the county seat and visited Director Chen, and then ran to the shipyard."

"Ah, I said why you came back so late today, it turns out you ran to so many places, no wonder. Fortunately, I was still worried. Dad kept saying that it's almost the end of the year, it's not peaceful, worried that you met something."

"Crow mouth! Where is my daughter? Where is grandma?"

No matter what time he came back at night, all the children in the family revolved around him. Where did the old and the young go today?

"Your daughter ran to the neighbor's to play with her sisters, grandma is chanting scriptures in the room."

"Oh, forgot my daughter's little doll. Anyway, I didn't run around tomorrow. When the time comes, go to the city for a stroll and buy her a little doll back."

"You just spoil her."

"Just a doll, what's the matter? Others have it, she also wants to have it, it's normal, buy one for her to play with."

"It's good to buy one, just to replace the big one in her hand, it's dirty to death, she is still reluctant to wash it for me all day, have to take it to wash secretly when she is asleep and hasn't woken up."

Ye Yaodong washed his hands clean and sat down to eat, only then did he feel hungry.

Director Chen's wife wanted to cook noodles for them at night, he said he had eaten, didn't feel embarrassed to let people cook, and then was hungry until now.

"This toadfish belly and fish liver have to be fried with some chili to be delicious. Remember to put some chili tomorrow. I told you many times and you didn't put it."

He commented while eating. For these two months, he has been drying toadfish in large quantities, and the fried fish liver and fish belly at home have not been broken.

Chewing the toadfish belly in his mouth, he felt it was very chewy, just missing a little spicy taste.

"The children can't eat spicy..."

"Then tell them not to eat, eat something else. This has to be fried with some chili to be fragrant and delicious."

"Then you fry two portions tomorrow? Take out one portion first, and then fry the rest with chili?"

"Eat your food, you are still picky when you have food."

"Putting chili is really better." Ye Yaodong shook his head, feeling that she didn't understand.

They eat too lightly by the sea. Everything on the table is steamed and blanched. Chili is only put a little in braised fish and hot and sour soup. After a long time, he also feels a bit tasteless.

"Dry those fish bellies too? Don't let mother send them to people everywhere, store them up, take them to soak when you want to eat, cut into small pieces, this thing is chewy, the more you eat, the more fragrant."

"Whatever, if you like to eat, then tell the aunts who kill fish tomorrow to pick them out separately, wash them and dry them. Let them distribute the fish liver themselves, take it back to fry."

Ye Yaodong nodded, his mouth full of rice, and didn't speak.

Before, every day there were a large number of fish bellies and fish livers, his mother sent them to neighbors and relatives and friends everywhere. Things that were not valuable and no one wanted, he didn't care, let her handle it.

It's just that he was hungry now, felt it was good to eat, felt that drying it and putting it there could also be kept, eat whenever you want, no need to wait for the season.

Sending it like this every day is also a waste. It is estimated that these people are tired of eating it every day, and they must have taken it back to feed pigs and chickens and ducks.

"Then that boat of ours, is there anything said about when to pay the final payment and when to launch?"

"After half a month, wait until we look at the date for the specific day, and then I will go to tell the factory, let them be sure to get it done before this date."

"That happens to be before the small new year, just drive it back to spend the big new year, and then go out to sea after the new year."

"That's it, so you prepare the money."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes. "I thought you would say prepare for a happy and happy new year, didn't expect it to be preparing money."

"No problem, both are okay, prepare money first, and then happy and happy new year."

"Eat quickly, don't talk nonsense, wash up after eating, go to bed."

"Hmm, where are the two boys?"

"You only think of asking now?"

"No, I thought they were playing upstairs, so I didn't ask. I didn't see their shadows when I came back in the past, but I haven't heard any movement for so long, a bit puzzled, so I asked again."

"Ran to the neighbor's upstairs."

"When are they on winter vacation? Your eldest brother asked me to wait until the winter vacation, and send A Yuan and the others to his shop in the city to help."

"Then A Yuan must be lifeless."

"How is it the city, people who don't know don't know he hasn't been out of the city, how is it gilded, come back for the new year, must envy a large group of friends and childhood friends, can show off a wave."

Lin Xiuqing sat beside him and laughed happily. "Then this sacrifice is big, go to the city to work for a month and come back, just for a few days of pride."

"Enough, how many people want to follow to work but have no chance. When are they on vacation?"

"Said it is the final exam tomorrow, take the report card a week after the exam, and then it is vacation."

"Then A Yuan and the others should be about the same. I'll see, if I come back early tomorrow, I'll go to your old home first. If it's just these two days, I'll look at the time and pick them up."

"You look at it."

"When I went out today, I saw second aunt looking for mother, what is she doing?"

"What else can she do, let mother help her inquire, is there any suitable woman in the nearby village to be Brother Brother Asheng's wife, saying that mother is more familiar with nearby villages."

"I guess so."

Lin Xiuqing curled her lips. "Mother said, second aunt requires better family conditions, must not move things to the mother's family. If it is a widow or divorced, it is best not to bring children. Those with sons are absolutely not allowed. Also, there are many brothers in the family, meaning there are many brothers in the family, indicating that genetics can give birth to more sons."

Lin Xiuqing pouted, "Mother said, second aunt requires better family conditions, absolutely don't have things moved to the mother's family. If it's a widow or divorced, it's best not to bring children. Bringing sons is absolutely not allowed. Also, there are many brothers in the family, meaning that many brothers in the family means that genetics can give birth to more sons."

"There are quite a few requirements. No wonder he has been single for so many years. When she was looking for Wang Lizhen herself, why didn't she have these standards?"

"I heard people say. At that time, it was purely drinking together, second aunt was also a bit drunk, and was poured a lot of ecstasy soup, was coaxed by people not knowing east, west, south, north, and then agreed, gave the eight characters, the next day the matchmaker went to match the eight characters, and implemented this matter, so Brother Brother Asheng was pitted."

Ye Yaodong was full of disgust.

"Now it's good to have a woman willing to follow Brother Brother Asheng, still picking and choosing, as long as the personality is a little better, not too ugly, no physical defects, can live a life, that's it."

"Still care if people are widows, bring children or not? If not a widow, not divorced, can it be his turn? Still thinking about a virgin, don't think about how old Sheng is. In a few years, it is estimated that he will be powerless."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him. "What are you talking about."

"Everything is true."

"Mother also said the same thing as you, just said she would look for it herself, and she also told second aunt not to interfere. The one who lives the life is Brother Brother Asheng, when the time comes, look for it and let Brother Brother Asheng choose it himself."

"That is, it's not accompanying her for a lifetime, so many things."

"Mother said she would look for him these few days. If it goes well, let him marry a wife before the new year."

Ye Yaodong listened for so long, only then nodded. "This is quite good, with money or without money, marry a wife to spend the new year well. Anyway, it's a second marriage, no need for any ceremony, the family conditions are also there, if the woman is willing, look at a good day, wear red clothes, ride a bicycle to pick her up. No need to invite guests to eat, just eat a meal as a family."

Lin Xiuqing smiled. "Mother also said the same thing to you at dinner."

"So this is called mother and son, still my mother is reliable. The house at home has been built for three or four days, eldest brother and second brother didn't mention it, want to pick up father and mother?"

"Both mentioned a sentence, they didn't come over, just said they wanted to stay there to watch the house, watch the pigsty, no one watching is not at ease. Also lived for so many years, they think living there is quite good, every family's house is about the same, anyway, there is no rain in winter now, and there is no typhoon, can't blow wind, can bask in the sun."

"Then forget it, anyway, that stone house is very firm, and there is no place to damage, at most the problem of roof leaking, let the carpenter change the doors and windows first."

"The fish sauce in the room on mother's side has been filtered, today father pushed the wooden barrels over there with a flatbed cart."

"Hmm, it's good to move over, all put over there to produce together, and save a little here and a little there."

Just as he was eating and chatting, the old lady came out with a string of Buddhist beads.

She smiled and said: "Came back so late? The food is cold."

"Already finished eating."

"I also just finished chanting scriptures. Today I specially went to the temple to drop the holy cup. The Bodhisattva said, Huimei's one is definitely a boy, and can be born safely."

"Really? Then you chant more when you have nothing to do. Since the holy cup has been dropped in the temple, don't go again, it won't be spiritual if you drop it a few more times."

"Hmm, don't drop it, just say the hexagram is a boy, no need to drop it again."

"I also pray for the Bodhisattva to bless you, whether on land or at sea, to be safe and smooth."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Hmm, this is okay."

"It's the end of the year, be more careful when you go out, come back early if you can, don't stay outside."

"Know."

It was because he came back late, so he nagged. Fortunately, he didn't say that he met a robbery when he went out today.

However, he didn't say it, it doesn't mean others didn't say it.

Early the next morning, the whole family knew that they met a robbery when they went out yesterday, and then because they carried a gun, they deterred people, so they were safe all the way.

Then within the morning, the whole village knew that there was a robbery on the road recently, and people in the village had to be alert when going out, whether going to the neighboring village or the town.

When he was about to go out in the morning, the old lady didn't know where she popped out, took a peace charm and gave it to him, let him put it in his pocket, put it well and don't drop it.

He took it with a laugh and looked at it back and forth on both sides.

"Did you ask for it in the temple early in the morning?"

"Yeah, you didn't say a word when you came back last night. I heard it from the children in the workshop early in the morning, and then I hurriedly went to the temple to ask for one, you carry it on your body, safe on the road."

Fine, anyway, it's the old man's intention, putting it in the pocket doesn't take up space anyway.

Ye Yaodong thought about the inconvenience of big vat transportation when sending goods to the city yesterday. If trading, the vat is more expensive than fish sauce. He wanted to ponder and inquire when he was free to see if there is any bagging packaging machine now.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fu brought him a surprise today.

The twenty vats transported yesterday were all sold out this morning, just waiting for him to send another batch today.

He was surprised. "Who bought it? So fast, twenty-something vats are gone?"

"The restaurants in the city wanted two, and there are peddlers. Those who come to buy dried fish will take a vat away. For them, the more varieties, the easier it is to sell. Fish sauce by the sea is indispensable. It is laborious to make it yourself. It is convenient for most people to have a place to buy one or two jin."

"That's also good. I was still thinking yesterday that this vat by vat might not be easy to sell, the water vat is more expensive than the liquid, didn't expect it to be sold out today."

"It's still better to paste the advertisement paper on the door. Some people shake their heads after asking a few questions, and some take it away directly. Anyway, it is agreed with them, pay a deposit of ten yuan, and when the time comes, take the empty vat to exchange for a full vat, just need the money for fish sauce. When you don't sell it, take the empty vat to refund the deposit. Our shop is opened here and can't run away. Even if it runs, ten yuan a water vat, they don't lose."

"Then I'll see, go for a stroll in the city after unloading the goods later, find those small shops, grocery stores, and promote our fish sauce. Putting a whole vat in the grocery store is also easy to sell, there will always be needs, bring your own bottles to hit it."

Lin Fu nodded with a full face of smile. "Hey, this is good, go to some grocery stores in the city to promote, and sell it in pieces in the grocery store like soy sauce and vinegar."

"Then I don't need to unload the goods, just drive the tractor and sell it around the city, explain to those grocery stores, the shop is on this side."

"Also okay, wait until it is sold out, or when it is time to go back, then bring the rest back and put it in the warehouse."

"Good."

Ye Yaodong turned around and wanted to climb onto the tractor.

"Wait, don't worry, eat first, and it's not too late to go for a stroll after eating."

"That's also okay."

It just happens that I have to buy a little doll for the child, and buy a doll while strolling in the city.

After eating, Ye Yaodong started to stroll around the city, seeing shops selling groceries, he went in to sell eloquence.

He was a bit unprofessional as a fisherman, part-time tractor driver for a while, part-time boss for a while, now part-time sales, occasionally part-time nanny, so that his main job as a fisherman has been a bit abandoned recently.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, it's the new year, who is still bitter about going out to sea?

Wait until his big boat is in hand.

The boat at home, he originally wanted to tell his father this morning, let him rent it out directly, his father was reluctant, saying put it aside first, the big boat hasn't arrived yet, if these are all rented out, then he doesn't have one in his hand.

What if there is something that can't deliver goods on time, then wouldn't he have to be idle at home?

It's not that bad, wait until the big boat is in hand, and rent the boat after the new year, just right.

Who goes out to sea during the new year, it's approaching the end of the year, just put it aside first.

Ye Yaodong strolled around to sell goods, which was also very impressive. The two layers originally stacked on the car were also sold out.

People who open shops now can also calculate. Buy it with the vat, and the cost will come back when the vat is sold out. If you buy it again, you don't need to pay for the water vat. What is sold can also start to make a profit. The shop is opened there, and selling anything is by the way.

If the person runs away, and can't find secondary sales, at least they didn't lose, and they also have a vat, which is very practical for their own family to hold burning wine, rice wine, etc.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. The problem that troubled him yesterday was gone today. That bagging packaging machine can be put aside first, and talk about it after he recovers the cost.

Anyway, there is really no bagged vinegar or bagged soy sauce on the market now. Wait until when it pops up, then he will follow the trend and consider it.

His water vats are all written with the word "Ye" with a red brush, which is also very convenient to recycle.

Ye Yaodong touched his pocket full of money, hid it well before coming out of an inconspicuous grocery store, and looked at the sun that had already slanted west.

"Go back, don't sell, come again tomorrow."

"Dongge, you are really smart, just earned two hundred yuan after a stroll."

"Where is it earning two hundred yuan, only earn half, my water vat still costs one hundred yuan, but at least sold a lot, when the time comes these are continuous guests, fixed to help us sell goods, accumulate little by little."

"Right right right."

"Send a cart over tomorrow, if the day after tomorrow, you can stroll around nearby villages and towns, it is estimated that one or two carts can be sold."

"Dongge you are too smart, too awesome, then it won't take a few days, the workshop will be sold out."

Ye Yaodong glared at Wang Guangliang's cousin. "Where? Several tens of tons can be sold out in a few days? It's not bad to be sold out in half a year, flattering, let's go, hurry back, sit well."

"I didn't think of it, just saying Dongge you are too smart."

"Isn't it because you are too stupid?"

"Hehe, you can sell so much of fish sauce, which is laborious and not valuable, of course you are smart."

A flatterer who only knows how to flatter, although the flattery is not very good, it still makes people happy. Mainly he found that selling like this today is also feasible.

Ye Yaodong drove the tractor back to the wholesale market, unloaded the remaining row of fish sauce on the car, and then hurried back home.

Strolling around the city in the afternoon also took a few hours, it is estimated that the sky will be dark again after arriving home, the whole family will nag again.

Sure enough.

After arriving home, the sky was also dark, the moon had risen, actually he arrived home an hour earlier than yesterday.

Listening to A Qing's nagging, he argued with reason. "Clearly the day is too short, the sky is dark fast, not that I came back late."

"You just argue hard, said yesterday, told you to get up early today to send goods, you just don't, also said you have nothing to do today and will definitely come back early."

"I didn't expect that my brain was so active in the afternoon, I directly thought of driving a tractor to promote door-to-door along the street, and it really didn't say, this immediately opened the sales, and those shops will continuously sell our fish sauce in the future."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him. "Then do you want to get up early tomorrow?"

"Hmm... then get up half an hour early is about the same, went to many streets today, just stroll a little tomorrow, definitely won't be as long as today."

"You just have a hard mouth, when the time comes tomorrow, you will come home when it is dark again."

"It's not afraid when it's dark, anyway, I have a gun in my hand, who dares not to fear death."

"Then it's good to be able to avoid it. Night is never as reassuring as day."

"Fine, then get up an hour early tomorrow, I will get up at six o'clock."

"I will call you at five-thirty, you will definitely lie in bed for half an hour."

"Sigh~"

"Doll~ doll~ little doll~"

Ye Xiaoxi heard the sound of the tractor, and was reminded by her sisters, so she ran over from next door, calling as she ran.

She didn't bring it to her last night, she returned home, jumped up and down on the bed, he promised again and again, definitely brought it today, she stopped, willing to drink milk and sleep.

At this moment, she ran back stumbling from outside, threw away the big doll in her hand, directly hugged his thigh, and started calling for the little doll.

"Don't call daddy, won't give it to you."

"Daddy, daddy, daddy~" she called louder and louder.

Ye Yaodong was satisfied, took two out of his pocket, handed them to her, and when her eyes lit up and she reached out to take them, he lifted them up again, not letting her take them.

"Daddy?! Harm! Daddy, harm!"

He laughed out loud, pulled up his pants, and squatted down.

"Kiss me and I'll give it to you."

Ye Xiaoxi immediately leaned over and kissed.

"Kiss with a big mouth, you have no movement at all."

She leaned over again and kissed loudly.

Ye Yaodong laughed like a fool, his mouth split wide. "Kiss a few more times!"

Lin Xiuqing shook her head and smiled on the side. "You have too many requirements, right? Don't give it to her, want her to kiss, kissed and want her to kiss with a big mouth, kissed with a big mouth and want her to kiss a few more, be careful she gets angry and scratches your face."

Ye Xiaoxi also looked at him angrily.

He smiled and shook the two dolls in her eyes again. "Want it? Want it? Beautiful little doll, kiss a few more times and you will have it."

"Want." she responded in a milky voice.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly turned his head and handed his cheek to her. "Then kiss, kiss a few more times."

Ye Xiaoxi pursed her mouth, glared at him, had to admit defeat helplessly, hugged his head and kissed a few times fiercely, fearing that he would make requests again, and gnawed a few more times, smearing half of his face with saliva, before letting go, wanting to take the doll.

He felt the wetness on half of his cheek, and also smiled and handed one of the dolls in his hand to her. After freeing his hand, he hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the saliva on his cheek.

"This..."

"This is for your cousin, you each have one, or you choose which one you want?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the one in her hand, and looked at the one in his hand, frowned and tangled for a long time, later thought about the one in her hand, she directly hugged it in her arms.

"This!"

"Fine, then go play by yourself."

She immediately turned around with a bright smile, ran out like a flower butterfly, calling as she ran, "Sister, sister..."

"Slow down, don't fall."

Before Lin Xiuqing's voice fell, she fell to the ground with a thud.

However, she quickly climbed up immediately, and continued to run, not giving adults a chance to react.

"Fortunately, winter clothes are thick, it doesn't hurt to fall."

"Like a little meat pier, did you make new clothes for the new year?"

"Doing it."

"The bright red set on the sewing machine is it?"

"Right, the two sons' have been done, just her cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers, do it in these two days."

"Bright red is good, festive, her face is full of meat, must be like a new year picture doll."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Don't keep saying she is meaty, can't say."

Ye Yaodong compared the clothes with a gesture, saw her run away and immediately threw the clothes on the bed, and hugged Lin Xiuqing.

"The door is not closed!"

"You go close the door, this stinky girl, not cute at all."

"Who kissed and touched her face in the middle of the night, muttering that she is really cute."

"Cute when asleep."

Ye Yaodong saw that she didn't go to close the door, but went to the bed to hold water. "What are you doing?"

"By the way, take the water out to pour."

"Then remember to come in quickly."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, and said secretly in her heart: Then you wait.

Ye Yaodong was a bit cold naked, so he climbed onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt, put his hands behind his head and looked at the ceiling, waiting on the bed.

But she didn't come for a long time, and didn't come for a long time.

It made him wait until he was soft.

He rubbed twice before lifting the quilt, opened the bedroom door, and poked his head out to look.

Where is his wife's shadow?

"Grass, was I stood up?"
