The next day, Ye Yaodong seldom slept until dawn, because he had to go out to put the sticky net today, and he didn’t have to go early in the morning to put the sticky net.
He plans to put 50 sticky nets and ground cages today, but Yanshen Fishing will not let them go, and the next day will be too late.
Brother A Sheng also told him that he will go to sea to work the day after tomorrow, so he can spare time.
After breakfast, Ye Yaodong followed his father to stack 50 pieces of sticky nets on the cart, stacked high, and after pulling them on the boat, he came back to pull bamboo baskets and buckets.
There are too many of these things, and the small cart cannot pull them all away at once.
After sending people away, Ah Qing began to sit by the door to bask in the sun and knit a sweater.
Today is the weekend, Ye Chenghu doesn't have to get up early to go to school, he flew up happily, and ran to the door of the neighbor next door to play marbles early in the morning. Lin Xiuqing called him several times, but he didn't have time to answer her, and he almost **** her off .
"Do you still want to wear new clothes? Come back to me!"
"Huh? Immediately, immediately."
This one immediately waited for another five minutes. When Lin Xiuqing couldn't bear it anymore and was about to take the whip, he ran back in a hurry and almost hit the door without stopping the car.
"What's the matter, mother, today is the weekend, homework can be done tomorrow... No, I just finished the exam yesterday, and there is no homework today..."
Lin Xiuqing saw that his knees and sleeves were covered with dirt, and she was so angry that she slapped him hard a few times, and slapped the mud off by the way.
"Who made you lie on the ground? Look at your knees and sleeves. If I wear a hole, I won't kill you. The padded jacket made last year has not been worn a few times..."
"Oops~ Light up~ Light up~ It hurts, mother... Aren't you always lying on your stomach when playing marbles..."
"It's a waste to wear new clothes for you, you should pick up your brother and sister's old clothes and wear them..."
"Then I'm going to play marbles!"
It doesn't matter if you leave as soon as you say, Lin Xiuqing was almost **** off by this brat.
"Come back to me! Did I let you go?"
Ye Chenghu was puzzled, "Didn't it mean that there are no new clothes? Can I only wear old clothes? Then what's the matter?"
Lin Xiuqing was heartbroken, and gave him a hard look, then pulled him to the front, took a similarly knitted sweater from the side, and gestured on his back.
"I really owe you in my previous life..."
"Hey, is this sweater knitted for me? It's so pretty, and it's blue."
"Go, go, go, it's none of your business."
"Let me see, when will it be finished? I saw that Dad has a scarf of this color, do I have it too?"
Ye Chenghu was reluctant to leave now, he didn't expect that the sweater his mother made these two days was for him.
"If you want to be beautiful, you have to see if the thread is enough."
"Mom, do you have Yangyang? He is relatively small, so he must have a lot of threads. Use his sweater thread to knit a scarf for me? Anyway, I will wear all the clothes I can't wear in the future."
"Are you showing mercy? Go, go, don't get in the way here, I will give you what is due."
"Oh", Ye Chenghu is reluctant to play marbles now, "Then when will the sweater in your hand be finished?"
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, "Chinese New Year!"
"Then when is the Chinese New Year?"
"There is still one and a half months, wait slowly!"
Ye Chenghu stretched out his fingers and counted the days there, but he couldn't count them. How many days is a month and a half? He turned his head and looked aside, looking at his old lady with a smile.
"Auntie, how long is one and a half months?"
"When you don't have to go to class, you have a holiday, and the village starts to kill pigs, it will be almost New Year's Eve."
He gave a half-understood oh, but still couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the little friend next door just called him to hurry over, and he immediately forgot about when to wear new clothes for the New Year.
Lin Xiuqing looked at his fast running back from behind, shook her head, "Like a monkey, running around all day long."
"Hehe, children are like this. If he sits quietly and doesn't move, you should wonder if there is something wrong with him, is he a fool? It's better to run and jump like this."
Lin Xiuqing also laughed.
"Help me into the room to see if the child is awake, and I will finish up the rest of the collar..."
"Ye Yaodong's call, Ye Yaodong's call..."
Before Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she heard a middle-aged man shouting and yelling on a bicycle outside, and the bell of the bicycle was also tinkling.
She was puzzled for a moment, and instantly thought of A Dong's explanation yesterday, and immediately stood up in surprise, accidentally poking her forehead with the knitting needle in her hand.
"Hey, be careful, don't be so excited, you almost poked your eyes..."
"it's okay no problem…"
She touched her forehead with a hand, then excitedly put down the sweater she was about to finish, and ran towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Uncle, does the village committee have A Dong's phone number?"
"Yes, there is a call from Ye Yaodong. He said he will call back in ten minutes. You should tell him to go over and wait."
"Hey, okay, he's gone to sea, he's not at home, I'll wait."
"It's okay, it's okay, the road is uneven, there are pits everywhere, it's not easy to guide people, I can just walk, young people have fast legs, and it's okay to walk a few steps."
Lin Xiuqing happily followed the bicycle, and trotted to the village committee. She didn't expect that A Dong just explained yesterday that there would be a call so soon today?
She felt that the call at this time should be from the army!
Otherwise, the couple seldom have a phone call. This year, for the first time, there is a phone call because his father fell down the mountain.
Many times, his parents entrust someone to bring messages, because the phone bills are expensive, and he has to make two calls for every call.
Because of the first one, I often can’t get it myself, and I need someone to convey it. The key calls are still charged in both directions, so I usually don’t call if there is nothing important.
Lin Xiuqing harbored expectations in her heart. It would be great if the army called and asked for dried fish, so that Adong wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and sell it a little bit.
After running to the village committee, she checked the time and only three minutes had passed. Based on the round trip, there should be about three or four minutes before the call came in.
She took a breath, then walked slowly towards the office, and waited patiently for the call to come in again.
With anticipation, she felt that time passed very slowly. She kept looking down at her watch frequently, but fortunately, she waited for three minutes before the phone rang.
Lin Xiuqing didn't rush to answer the phone, but waited for the uncle to answer it first, confirmed that it was Ye Yaodong, and then handed it to her.
"Hey, I'm Ye Yaodong's daughter-in-law. Ah Dong has gone out to sea. It's the same if you have anything to say to me. When he comes back, I'll tell him."
The other side was silent for a while, and then asked: "Is it Ye Yaodong's wife?"
Lin Xiuqing heard that the other party was speaking not very standard Mandarin, and she also realized at this moment that he could not understand her local dialect, so she quickly changed to Mandarin again and said it more politely.
The dialects of each place on their side are a little different, not to mention, who knows where the person opposite is from? Of course I couldn't understand her native language.
"My name is Zhao Weimin, it doesn't matter if he's not here, tell him for me to send 1,000 catties of dried fish to this place yesterday morning, at the same time."
Zhao Weimin may also be worried that what he said to the troops will cause them trouble. After all, there may be other people present when answering the phone, so he didn't directly point it out.
Anyway, he said his name, as long as Ye Yaodong's wife told Ye Yaodong honestly, he would know.
The surprise came too suddenly, but it was within her expectation.
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, and she nodded happily, but she realized in an instant that she nodded, but the other party couldn't see it at all.
She immediately said into the phone: "Okay, thank you, I will tell him when he comes back, he should be back in the afternoon, and we will definitely deliver it on time."
"Well, yes, thank you, your dried fish is very good, not salty and very fragrant, everyone likes it very much."
"Thank you, everyone will like it."
"goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Lin Xiuqing waited for the other party to hang up the phone, and there was a beeping sound in his ear, and then hung up the phone excitedly.
The uncle on the opposite side asked curiously: "What are you talking about? So happy?"
"It's nothing, hehe, you can calculate the phone bill."
"Is there any happy event? Take a dime!"
"OK."
Lin Xiuqing ran home excitedly after paying the phone bill.
The old lady was looking after the child in the house, when she heard the commotion outside, she went out to have a look. Ah Qing was standing by the stove, panting, pouring tea.
"Why are you running in such a hurry? I just finished running and I can't drink water. Let me get my breath straight first."
"Why!"
"You can't sit down either, you have to stand up and get your breath straight."
Lin Xiuqing stood up straight again before her **** touched the stool.
"Look at you happy, is there any happy event? Did your natal family call?"
Lin Xiuqing slowed down, calmed down and said, "It's not my mother's phone number, it's a man named Zhao Weimin who called to find A Dong, and he asked A Dong to send another 1,000 catties of dried fish to the place yesterday morning, saying it's still okay. Same time."
The old lady was also happy immediately, "Oh, isn't it the army that sent it to the place yesterday? Adong also delivered dried fish to the army yesterday. I didn't expect to deliver it just yesterday, and I immediately asked us to deliver it again today." 1000 catties."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to call so soon. It's only been a day, and the other party asked for 1,000 catties. Just now, when I heard he asked for 1,000 catties, I thought it was the army."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) Don't be overheard."
"Why!"
Lin Xiuqing was overjoyed.
But after a while, she began to hesitate again, and she looked at the old lady, "Tell me, should I help A Dong collect all the dried fish in advance? Our family only has more than 300 catties, and there is still a lot of shortage."
"Uh... let's put it away first. They just went out to set up a net today, and they will be back in the afternoon. Let him and his father figure it out then? Anyway, they don't start until two or three o'clock at night, and it's too late to collect it in the middle of the afternoon. , During this period of time, the villagers took advantage of the good weather to sunbathe a lot, if they heard that they could be sold for money, who wouldn’t hurry up and send them here?”
"Right."
Lin Xiuqing was no longer in a hurry.
If you want to receive the goods, you must pick and choose. She doesn't know how he will receive them, and she doesn't know the price of the goods that Adong receives. Is it the same as what he said to his elder brother and second brother yesterday?
I don't know what his plan is, it's better for her not to make up her own mind, it's too late to talk about it when he comes back.
One more chapter, wait a minute
