Chapter 983: Going to sea on the tenth

"Promising, sleeping on the floor now, becoming a boss in the future, get on the car!" Ye Yaodong waved his big hand and got on the car first.

The children on the side were all screaming, jumping excitedly, and hurriedly walked to the back of the car.

"Wow wow wow~ ride a tractor~"

"Get on the car get on the car, I want to ride a tractor~"

"Go go, going to the seaside to play~ hurry up and get on the car..."

"Hurry up, you guys hurry up and get on the car..."

"Climb carefully, take it slow, don't get the clothes dirty..." The Lin family also all walked towards the car, shouting for a few children to be slow.

Father Lin even specially moved two long benches from home and put them into the tractor, making it convenient for the children in the family to sit.

The surrounding neighbors all gathered around, adults and children alike watching the excitement here and discussing.

"Your son-in-law is really promising, driving a tractor directly to pull the children in the family to live in a building."

"Tsk tsk tsk, really amazing, there is only one tractor in our township, it was just processed two years ago, others haven't been able to afford it yet..."

"So many children, eating every day has to be a separate table, your son-in-law is really generous..."

"Pulling so many over, fortunately there is a tractor, and there is a building at home, otherwise who dares to bring so many children home..."

"Ah Yuan, you are too happy, Mom, does our family have such an aunt, aunt's husband?"

"Thinking beautifully, our family are all poor relatives."

"Ah Yuan, when are you coming back?"

Lin Guangyuan stood on the tractor, happily waving to his little partners, "Not coming back."

Other Lin family children were also jumping on the tractor, shouting to the little partners below, "We are leaving, leaving, going to Little Aunt's house~"

Ye Yaodong went down to look at the car behind again, locked them up, and shouted at them, telling them to sit well, he was preparing to set off.

"We are all sitting well~"

Everyone was extra excited, wanting to go from the place they were tired of staying to the place others were tired of staying to play.

Some little partners hadn't even left the village, but they could run far to visit relatives, too proud.

Ye Chenghu and the others were also very happy, having so many cousins to play with.

Because people get married early and have children early, there are many children in the family. Although the age span from big to small is large, one after another, they are not different by one or two years, and they are very fun in twos and threes.

"My football, my football, my football also has to be brought!" Lin Guangyuan remembered his football when the tractor started.

The Lin family hurriedly found it for them, and after finding it, threw it into the car for them.

The children in the front of the car sat in three directions, and the ball brought by Lin Guangyuan was kicked back and forth by them while sitting in the car all the way.

If it weren't for the constant laughter in the car all the way, some villages passed by would definitely think this tractor was trafficking children, there were too many children inside, of all ages.

Ye Yaodong sat in front of the car driving, feeling okay, but Lin Xiuqing, who was sitting with the children, hadn't arrived home yet and already regretted it, feeling her head was big, the whole head was buzzing.

It wasn't just the motor sound of the tractor driving, the noisy sound of the children in her ears was even more deafening, some were kicked and fell by the bumps of the car, climbed up and continued to play, noisy and noisy.

Not dizzy by the tractor, but exhausted by these children.

This was still on the tractor, if they arrived home, it would be terrible, the roof would really be lifted by them.

After arriving home and jumping off the car, she let out a long sigh of relief.

The children on the car also jumped down one by one like dumplings.

"Really fatal, you guys quiet down, already noisy all the way, if you are noisy again later, I will directly take the whip, I don't care if I gave birth to you or not, all hit together."

"Not noisy, we are definitely not noisy..."

"We are obedient, Little Aunt, your house building is built as high as the building in our village, can we go up now?"

"Go go, hurry up and go, don't get in my way."

Because they had to rush back before dark, they ate dinner relatively early in the afternoon. Now after arriving home, the sky was still bright and not completely dark.

Ye Yaodong didn't park the tractor at the door, but parked it in the workshop, letting them run over by themselves, anyway, it was just a few steps, saving him from driving back and forth.

After a group of children got the power, they ran to the house hurriedly.

"See who runs first..."

"I want first place..."

"I also want first place..."

Even Ye Xiaoxi, the smallest one, was running and shouting first.

Lin Xiuqing shook her head looking at her back, then looked at Ye Yaodong, "I already regretted it."

"They are all your nephews and nieces, you just hit."

"Head is big, just stay for two days and hurry up and send them back."

Ye Yaodong didn't care, anyway, he played cards every day and only went home to eat and sleep. These were her nephews and nieces, she had to bear it herself.

"I'm not going back, I'm going out for a stroll."

"Just came back, don't even enter the house, where are you going?"

"Just stroll around."

"You are not strolling around, you are going to play cards, feet just touched the ground, don't even enter the house, and you are going to slip away again."

"I accompanied you at mother's family for a whole day... New Year's, I can't just lie at home and sleep... " Speaking, he had already walked out of the workshop.

Lin Xiuqing glared at his back angrily, had to go back to face the nest of children in the house. If there was no adult watching, who knew what it would be turned into?

She shuddered, he could still have a place to hide, but she couldn't hide, had to go back and watch them.

Carrying two big baskets of dried vegetables in her hand, not yet at the door, she already heard the noise upstairs from thirty meters away, and she immediately accelerated her pace.

As soon as she returned home, just put down the two baskets in her hand, she started looking for the whip, and even the children next door were running upstairs now, she had seventeen or eighteen children upstairs.

Terrible!

In a little while, everyone was driven down from upstairs.

They were also very good at finding things to play with, holding footballs and basketballs and running to the workshop again. It happened to be New Year's, the open space was empty, no fish were dried, and the filtered fish sauce was moved to the house, that open space was also particularly suitable for them to play basketball and football.

Lin Xiuqing held the whip and let out a long sigh of relief.

The old lady sat in front of the television watching a large group of children coming and going, couldn't help saying: "Why so many?"

"When leaving, everyone wanted to follow, Adong promised them a few days ago to let them come to the house to play during the New Year, everyone remembered it, my ears can't take it anymore."

"Just shouted for them to sit down and watch television for a while, as a result, everyone rushed to run upstairs, wanting to see the building, and now they were driven by you to rush outside, such a large group..."

"Stay for two days and hurry up and send them back, how can this be noisy?"

"Rare to come to the house as a guest during the New Year, take care of them first..."

She casually put the whip on the television, "I'll go spread the bed for them first, spread them all on the floor upstairs, let them roll, boys in one room, girls in one room, won't have no place to sleep."

The old lady held Buddhist beads in her hand, rolling them while watching television.

Ye Yaodong didn't return until the middle of the night, full of alcohol. The house was already quiet, no movement.

As soon as he stepped into the bedroom, he leaned to the bedside to see if Lin Xiuqing was asleep?

Lin Xiuqing directly pinched his cheeks with both hands, "Only willing to come back now."

"Still okay? How do you feel?"

"Hiding far away, waiting until the middle of the night to come back."

"New Year's, who has time to accompany them to play, I didn't even have time to organize a game, won fifteen yuan at night, was not at home for a day during the day, don't know how much less I won."

"Guaranteed to win? Never say when losing, but know to take it out and talk when winning. You don't give it to me, what are you telling me, anyway it doesn't fall into my hands."

"Then I won't tell you next time I win."

"Noisy until my head is big at night, fortunately, Sun Wukong was playing on the television later, which excited them so much that no one let anyone be noisy, only then did they quiet down, everyone sat obediently in front of the television watching television."

Ye Yaodong took off his clothes and got on the bed before saying: "Then you should have turned on the television for them to watch earlier."

"Earlier it was news, Chenghu kept pulling them saying the news wasn't good, either taking them out to play, or running upstairs. Later, when the TV series came out, they all sat down quietly to watch."

"That's also okay."

"It kept making noise in the back, constantly scolding Tang Seng for being a blockhead... and reciting the Tight-Fillet Spell... it made them all so angry they were jumping..."

"Hoo hoo~ hoo hoo~"

Before Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, snoring sounds already sounded beside her. Angry, she patted him, and then followed to sleep.

Early on the third day, Ye Yaodong was awakened by the sound of running up and down upstairs. Ye Xiaoxi also sat up at the same time.

Then, before he could react, she hurriedly climbed to the bedside, lay there and slid down, running towards the door barefoot.

"What are you doing? You haven't even put on clothes..."

"Find brother, find sister..."

"Go, is it that urgent?" He also hurriedly got out of bed to hold the person back to the bed, "Clothes haven't been put on, what are you running for? You'll catch a cold later."

The small tuft on her head was still frizzy, and she ran hurriedly without putting on clothes.

Ye Yaodong teased her while putting on her clothes and pants, "How about sending brother and sister home tomorrow?"

"Don't want."

"How about giving your doll to them?"

"Don't want."

"How about sharing your rice with them?"

"Don't want."

"How about giving your lucky money to them to buy firecrackers?"

"Don't want."

"Then how about sending them home tomorrow?"

"Good."

Ye Yaodong was happy, after putting on her clothes, he squatted down and put on her cotton shoes, "Alright, go."

She immediately ran away.

He also followed to put on clothes and went out. The table was already full of people, just a full big table, all children, no adults. Adults could only stand on the side watching, waiting for them to finish eating before going to the table.

When he went out to squat at the door to brush his teeth, a long string ran into the courtyard door, all calling the names of various children.

Ye Yaodong felt fortunate, fortunately he went out to play after eating.

It lasted until the night of the fifth day, when Lin Xiuqing couldn't take it anymore, and asked him to hurry up and send people back.

"Sending away just like this?"

"Otherwise? You still want to raise them for a lifetime? Can you stand it? It's already not bad to let them stay for three days. One by one, clothes worn for several days, the body is so dirty that the color can't be seen, hurry up and let them go home to change, don't know how many days didn't take a bath, five or six days already."

"Then send them away after lunch tomorrow."

"Mm, stayed for so many days and played enough."

"How is it possible? Do you believe that if you say you want to send them back tomorrow, one by one will howl."

"Then have to send away, eldest brother and sister-in-law plan to open the market after the seventh day, maybe even bring Ah Yuan and the others, sending them back on the sixth day tomorrow is just right."

"Mm, I don't care, when you want to send them away, listen to you."

"You of course don't care, seeing the head but not the tail all day long, except for eating and sleeping, you can't see anyone at all. Whether they are noisy at home or not, you don't know at all, it doesn't concern you at all."

Ye Yaodong let her read, directly turned his back.

"If you want to do things, you will be shameless and keep leaning over, now you say a few words and turn back, don't even want to listen."

Yes.

He responded in his heart, closed his eyes and hurried to sleep.

She reads hers, he sleeps his, not interfering with each other, isn't it quite good, anyway he didn't refute.

However, on the morning of the sixth day, saying he wanted to send them back, one by one was indeed full of sadness, all begging to play for two more days.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiuqing had a heart of stone, already decided to send them away, no matter how they said it, it was useless.

"We haven't seen Aunt's husband's big boat, can we go on Aunt's husband's big boat to play?" Lin Guangyuan looked at Ye Yaodong eagerly, "Good weather with sun today, take us to sea for a stroll, is it okay?"

Ye Yaodong was also a bit itchy. It had been parked at the pier since it was sailed back. Only one net was cast during the water test, and then it hadn't been out since.

Just not waiting for him to agree, Lin Xiuqing refused directly.

"No, that boat needs several yuan of oil money just to move. You are all too small. When you are big, if you want to follow to sea to work, then take you."

"They can not go, I am already big, already seventeen, taller than you, I can go, Little Aunt's husband, when are you preparing to go to sea?" Lin Guangyuan looked forward to it diligently.

"Thinking after the fifteenth..."

"Ah? So late?"

"Even you are urging me to work, right? Send you away in the afternoon, don't be wordy, played for several days is enough, you tell me how many days you haven't taken a bath."

One by one, only then did they look down at the gray and black on their bodies. Some younger ones had sleeves that were already stiff from wiping snot.

"Seems quite dirty."

"Send you back to take a bath first, change clothes, otherwise scare people."

Only then did one by one stop talking, and when they were sent away, they didn't be wordy again, just asking reluctantly if they could come again after the holiday.

Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to promise again. Just these few days were enough, where would she dare to entertain such a large group again.

In the evening, Ye Yaodong also discussed with his father, "Have you called all the boat workers for the big boat?"

"Called, all are old fishermen in our village, including the stutterer you want to bring on the boat, a total of four people, plus the two of us, 6 in total."

"Did Uncle Pei say when to go to sea?"

"They might go out in the last two days if there is weather. Should we also go to sea at the same time as them? Some diligent people in the village are also saying to look at it these two days, and plan to go to sea if there are no wind and waves."

He touched his chin, "Then let's set off with Uncle Pei. It's the 26th today, and it will be March 1st in two days."

"Look at whether there is a good day first."

Local people like to look at a day for everything they do, let alone the first time going to sea after the New Year, even more so to look at a day, to ask for a good omen.

"Okay, then prepare the rice and grain to be brought on the boat in advance, to avoid having to supplement separately."

"Almost have to prepare in advance."

The next day, Ye Yaodong also ran to Ah Guang's house to ask him when he was preparing to go to the city?

After a New Year, Ye Huimei's belly was over 4 months, now wrapped in cotton-padded jacket couldn't be seen, after a while in spring when clothes were worn thin, it couldn't be covered.

He thought, before he went to sea, he would send them and his father-in-law to the city in advance.

"Our luggage is all packed, I also told Acai, my two boats, anyway the goods are collected for him, just let him pick them up when the goods arrive."

Anyway, it's only half a year. As for the two boats in partnership, whether they will take advantage of his absence to swallow some, he can't take care of it, can only come back every month to check the accounts for a few days.

Children are more important than that bit of money.

"That's also fine, anyway your father also told my mother before the New Year, let her help your eldest sister to say a marriage again, if there is a suitable one, when it is decided, you can also directly tell your future brother-in-law to pick up the goods, and be more at ease."

"Right, now this is only temporary, anyway talk about it, how is the child in the belly important. Look at when to send your father-in-law and mother-in-law to the city, we will follow, you decide the time."

"You are already prepared, I came over to ask when your father goes to sea, plan to set off with your father, and then run a trip before going to sea, send you to the city, or if it's too late and have no time, just tell the younger brother at home to send you."

"All fine, my father already looked at the day, go to sea on the tenth."

"Then it's the seventh today, three more days, then I will go back and prepare, no need to ask my mother to look at the day."

"Mm, everyone is saying the tenth is a good day, many people also plan to start working on the tenth, just right, this New Year is almost over."

"Good, your father is not at home, went out?"

"Went to play cards."

"Then we also play for a while."

"Okay, I'll call two neighbors to make up the feet..."

Clearly came out to do serious business, but ended up on the table again. Lin Xiuqing waited there and didn't see anyone, waited again and didn't see anyone, only appeared at meal time.

"Don't know how to come back after going out all day, said go to Ah Guang's house and come back, but you appeared at meal time again, Mom came over earlier saying the tenth is a good day, many people plan to go to sea on the tenth."

"I know, just went to Ah Guang's house to ask, his father also goes to sea on the tenth, set off together then."

"Then are the two boats preparing to work in one place?"

"Look? See the situation and talk."

"Working in one place, then there is a care, also safer, the sea area is so wide, keeping distance won't have influence."

"Mm."

"Then remember to push a few bags of grain to the rice milling workshop to shell tomorrow, remember to bring the rice bran back to feed the chickens."

"Understood."

Ye Yaodong also couldn't take care of playing cards in the next two days, prepared all the rice, grain, oil, and vegetables that should be prepared, and transported a pile of baskets, water buckets, coal stoves, quilts, mattresses, and miscellaneous things that should be moved to the boat, trip after trip.

Strictly speaking, this is his Dongsheng's first time going to sea, the whole family is extra important, all followed to be busy, preparing things.

Parked outside the pier for so long, people who saw it were wave after wave, but didn't actually go out in a real sense.

Lin Xiuqing was also packing his clothes and luggage, all packed into the password box he bought, and brought it to the boat for him.

"I will prepare two more sets of clothes for you, in case it gets wet, there are clothes to change. Fortunately, the family conditions have improved in the last two years, and the clothes made for you are also many. Old clothes can be used to work, it's just that cotton-padded jackets are all newly made in these two years, only one old one, the old ones are not warm, two combined into one for me, it's too wasteful to use new ones to work, a bit heartache."

She held the cotton-padded jacket, looking left and right, a bit reluctant to let him take it to work.

"Old ones don't go, new ones don't come. You have to think, the value of a piece of clothing is reflected in the number of times you wear it. A ten-yuan piece of clothing you wear a hundred times, isn't that also enough? Isn't that enough compared to a five-yuan piece of clothing worn ten times?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Where do you calculate like this?"

"Originally it is calculated like this, if you make a hundred-yuan piece of clothing, I wear it a thousand times, isn't that about the same value as ten yuan worn a hundred times? Daily I am at sea, wearing it to work, isn't that more worth it than putting it at home and wearing it once or twice occasionally?"

"It sounds quite like a thing, don't know why, a pile of crooked reasons coming out of your mouth also sounds reasonable."

"So, you have to wear the skirt I bought for you more to be enough, otherwise, dozens of yuan you only wear once or twice, isn't that a loss?"

"So still have to buy cheap cloth to make clothes, this is cost-effective and enough."

Fall!

White instilled concept.

"You still prepare my cotton-padded jackets, there is not much difference between wearing at sea and wearing daily, every old piece of clothing comes from new clothing, I also don't go out every day, anyway, people who work wear whatever is normal."

"Understood. Your password box also has to be put well, then the list, money, etc. can all be locked inside..."

"No need, I asked the shipyard to hit an iron box under my bed, fixed under the bed board, very hidden, then the money will be hidden inside, anyway, the key is carried on the body."

"Like this, then the luggage box doesn't need to be brought, it's damp when brought to the sea, if it peels off, it won't look good."

"Bring it, things bought are for use, piling at home is not waste? Remember to put my sunglasses into the luggage box together."

"This is going to sea, not going to play, what are you bringing sunglasses for? At sea, who looks at you, what are you acting cool for?"

Ye Yaodong knocked on her forehead, "I am bringing it to prevent reflection on the sea surface, and also to block the wind, so that I won't be able to open my eyes when the wind is big."

"Oh oh, I thought I was going to bring your flower shirt together."

"Where did you think of?"

"Set off the day after tomorrow, there is still one day tomorrow, are you preparing to send Huimei and my father and others to the city yourself, or tell Wang Guangliang?"

"Tell Wang Guangliang, anyway, your father and Ah Guang are familiar in the city, I don't have anything to do if I follow, they drive the tractor quite 6 now, just let them drive slowly. I still have to go to the boat tomorrow to check if anything is missing."

"That's also fine."

"Those fish sauce, remember to tell those boys to send a trip to the city, county seat, and town every half a month. How many vats are sent out every day are recorded, empty vats and full vats also have to be recorded, so it's easy to calculate money, right. Anyway, the price is fixed there, you just calculate the goods and collect the money."

"I know this, the accounts are all calculated by me, I know better than you."

"Mm. Call them to work on the tenth, the workshop also starts to dry fish, remember to give them a start-work red envelope, don't need too much, just give one or two yuan to mean it."

"The fish sauce workshop only has the flat ground left, call the masters to pour the ground on the tenth, then look at a day to let the carpenter install the big door, I will calculate the total account and tell you then."

"How much money does our family have?"

"A little less than forty thousand, those dried fish before the New Year saved more than ten thousand yuan, and now we have to start saving again, and we have to start spending money next."

Ye Yaodong nodded, feeling okay in his heart, still have forty thousand, save another ten or twenty thousand goods after the New Year, wait for the whole year to break even, there won't be any big expenditure.

Except for the delivery of those seven boats, that is also continuous, not settled in one breath.

"Wait for the big boat to go to sea, then there will be one more income, the payment should be able to break even, this money shouldn't decrease again, the money earned by the shop in the city can also slowly increase our deposits."

"Hope so, anyway, there is money coming in, heart is not so anxious, otherwise always spending money, and every time the goods sent by Acai cost several hundred, every few days have to settle one or two thousand yuan."

"Rest assured, I will bring back a sum of money every few days to supplement your small treasury."

Lin Xiuqing smiled, tidied his clothes, zipped the password box and put it on the stool.

"Hope so, just count on you to earn big money, let me count money at home until my hands cramp."

"Mm, marry me, just wait to enjoy happiness."

"How to enjoy happiness?"

"First fetch me foot-washing water?"

"Go to yours!"
