"That's for sure, I don't know how many catties of fish Dad can bring back today?"
At this time, he couldn't help feeling sorry, if he could have two boats at home like A Guang, then he could earn even more!
No, if you can’t buy a boat, you have to order one next year, and you can’t just wait there. Some families needed money for the New Year. If you couldn’t buy a boat a year ago, you don’t have to wait a year later.
Lin Xiuqing didn't know what he was thinking, but said: "There shouldn't be less, right? I heard from Mrs. Zhou next door yesterday that the goods trawled in the past two days have also increased."
"Let's see in the afternoon, I'll go out and look around, and let them save as much of today's fish as possible."
"Hey, go ahead. I'll put the rice down to cook. I didn't know you came back early and didn't cook the rice earlier. I planned to cook some noodles casually."
"You can figure it out, just eat whatever you want."
Ye Yaodong walked out again as he spoke, and first made an agreement with the neighbors next to him, and then walked into the village.
Beside him lived Zhou Jialan's family and his brothers also had two boats.
Unexpectedly, during the short time he was out, his father-in-law would come and push a cart full of leftover oranges and a sack of grapefruit.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him happily and said, "Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to send some special products to Team Leader Zhao? The oranges and grapefruits my father sent over can just be sent to Team Leader Zhao. It's a little less, but my dad said he would carry another 100 catties tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong also looked at the corner full of baskets and a whole sack.
"Father is too polite, he will send you everything, and nothing will be left behind."
Father Lin smiled honestly, "It just happened to be harvested, so I sent it over while selling it. The oranges are so easy to sell, otherwise there will be a little more left over. If you want to give them away, I will bring another 100 catties of bitter oranges over tomorrow. It’s easier to hold than oranges, and you can eat it slowly, and if you eat it cold, you won’t get angry. I originally brought 100 catties each with me today, but I didn’t expect that all the bitter oranges were sold out.”
"Okay, you don't need to send it over here. I will ride a bicycle to pick it up, saving you a long way to go. I will pay you how much it will be, and treat it as if I bought it. There are too many, and I can't let you deliver."
"No need, no need, it's what the family buys? There's nothing else in the house, only fruit vegetables are the most."
"Well, if you don't have money, let's talk about it. This year's harvest is okay, right? Oranges cost a few cents a catty..."
Money must be given, but you don’t have to talk about it all the time, otherwise you will always shirk there, and bring the money to carry it tomorrow, just put the money down.
Ye Yaodong changed the topic and started chatting with the old man. When we had lunch together, he drank a lot of wine with him.
Originally, Father Lin planned to go back after dinner, but ended up getting drunk, so he could only rest here at noon, temporarily sleeping on the beds of the two children for an afternoon nap.
It was dusk when he got up, Ye Yaodong asked him to tell him that the fishing boat would come back in the evening, and he would take some fresh fish back when the time came.
Father Lin refused again and again, unwilling to ask for it again, and only asked him to sell it for money, so he hurried back first, for fear of costing them again.
The old lady watched Lin's father push the scooter quickly, and said with a smile: "When you go to pick up oranges tomorrow, bring a little more fish over there. My in-laws have always missed us. You will take other people's things in the future, and you can't buy them. You have to go back."
Of course he understands this.
"Well, I see, I'll go to the pier to see if the boat has come in? Three people will do it, it should be soon."
Ye Yaodong pushed the bicycle out, and rode on it with his long legs.
Ye Chengyang squatted on the ground but said stupidly: "Father's feet seem to be longer than mine?"
"His feet are bigger than your face!" Ye Chenghu echoed.
"Have it?"
"Yes, you can find out by putting your face against your father's feet at night."
Ye Chengyang nodded in confusion, "Oh."
"Ye Chenghu, did you finish your homework at night?"
Lin Xiuqing's voice rang faintly above his head, but Ye Chenghu raised his head calmly and said, "Huh? Haven't you had dinner yet?"
"Don't you have to do your homework if you don't eat?"
"After eating, I have the strength to do my homework!"
Lin Xiuqing almost laughed angrily at his righteous words, "Hurry up and do your homework, you are not allowed to eat before you finish it, you have to write with a lamp on every day, and you dare to ask me for New Year's money, your New Year's money has already paid the electricity bill."
Ye Chenghu murmured as he walked into the house, "I was deceived by you, I would not have gone to school if I knew it, I do my homework every day, I do my homework every day..."
Lin Xiuqing was so angry that she wanted to slap him on the back of the head, but for some reason, this guy seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, so he reacted quickly and ran up, escaping the disaster.
Then he stood at the door of the room and made faces at her, almost making her angry again.
She finally knew why the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were louder and louder all day long, scolding this or that, and it was too late to scold her, and her throat was so itchy.
"No one loves to read..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm still young, just teach me slowly..."
As soon as Ye Yaodong arrived at the pier, he happened to see Father Pei and the mouse carrying baskets of goods, so he went over to help.
"There seems to be a lot of goods trawled today."
"The goods are okay, but lately there are only faucet fish and toad fish, which are not worth much, and today I just caught a few catties of nine-section shrimp, which is worth more." Father Pei said as he walked, "Do you want faucet fish too? "
"Yes, I want it, I want it for miscellaneous fish."
Miaozi couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he asked quickly: "What are you talking about, do you want it? Uncle, don't you want to accept the goods today? Dongzi has changed his business to receive the goods, and is not going to sea?"
A Cai also stared straight at his eyes, "I said I was going to drag this product in for weighing just now, why did you say you would wait a while, so you won't accept it for me?"
"No, these are worthless. I want to take them back to dry the dried fish, and Ah Dong will collect these dried fish. I have to borrow your scale later, weigh them, and calculate the weight. Then we will have to share with the big bowl The son splits half and half."
Ye Yaodong almost didn’t laugh when he heard his father say that he was a big bowl son.
"So much to dry?" Ah Cai looked at Ye Yaodong, "Your elder brother and second brother's boats have all been kept back for the past two days and said to be dried. Could it be you who collected them there?"
"yes."
"Fuck, you're a monopoly! You're still robbing business!"
Ah Cai probably regretted his intestines now, if he knew it earlier, he wouldn’t have told him how much he could sell it for after drying it?
This is lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot, cutting off half of your fortune.
Didn’t expect this guy to do anything else, what does he look like, he has made a lot of money in the dried fish before selling it for a few days, and the whole village collects it!
"How can I call this a monopoly to grab business? You take fresh ones, and I take dry ones." Ye Yaodong said with a playful smile.
"Dried ones are more expensive than fresh ones. You collect the dried ones there, so everyone should keep them for drying. Sell them for more money."
After finishing speaking, Ah Cai patted his mouth twice, "Look at this broken mouth, it's okay, why talk too much?"
Ye Yaodong hooked his shoulders with a smile, and pulled out two cigarettes. One was thoughtful and stuck behind his ears, and the other was brought to his mouth, and he even lit it for him.
"These fish are so cheap that they are dead. If you collect them, how much can you earn? Just don't waste them. Collect them for me and let me earn more. I will also catch more fish and sell them to you." , let you earn, come and go!"
A Cai raised his head and stared at him, took a sip before taking it out, and said, "Three melons and two dates are also money, and mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are."
Ye Yaodong was about to have a good chat with Ah Cai, but when he saw something happened on the boat, and seeing the three of them face to face, the atmosphere was not quite right.
He quickly put down the arm that was on Ah Cai's shoulder, "I'll go and see, something seems to have happened over there."
As soon as he walked over, he saw that Father Pei was holding a small basket in his hand, and there was a swallow pomfret the size of a small washbasin inside, while he was holding a rag in his other hand.
Mice on the side looked a little embarrassed, but his wife bit her lower lip and looked at Lanzi unwillingly.
He figured it out with his ass, it must be that they caught the big swallow pomfret, and they were reluctant to hand it over, so they hid it secretly.
"I'm sorry Uncle, this... I couldn't stand my wife's begging, so I got confused, and I will definitely not next time."
"I picked this one up..."
The mouse glared at his wife.
"Uncle, she doesn't pick it up. Don't worry about it like her. She did pick up the fish. It was dark at night, and I didn't pay attention when I was sailing. When I landed, my wife just saw the fish stuck in the crevice of the reef."
Father Pei frowned so much that he could kill a fly, "Okay, it can't be like this next time, if it happens again, I'll change people."
"Good good good."
"Did the boat bump somewhere? Did you check?"
"Yes, yes, yes, no, no, no... I didn't bump into it, and I stopped in time, even my eyelids were beating, and my heart was beating too, so I stopped to rest," he smiled, "It turned out to be a money jump! It's not a disaster."
"Well, it's good that there is no bump on the ground, otherwise you will be responsible for any losses. When I hand it over to you, it's good. If you return it to me, of course it must be good."
"definitely."
Ye Yaodong just watched from the side, not speaking.
Father Pei saw that the mouse was sincere in admitting his mistakes, so it was not easy to hold on to it, so he raised his hand and let it go.
When they went to weigh the goods together, Ah Cai was depressed and sat there without moving a bit, until he saw the big swallow pomfret, his eyes lit up and he stood up quickly.
"Big Swallow Pomfret! Oh, it's so big? It's as big as a washbasin, and it directly covers the bottom of the basket. It's the best!"
Ye Yaodong also said with a smile on the sidelines: "This is so delicious that it can stick your mouth."
"It's as if you've eaten it." Ah Cai rolled his eyes at him, and happily took the fish in his hand, "Oh, it's really heavy. It's much bigger than the big catfish."
I wrote a manuscript of more than 2,000 words at night, but I deleted it when I was not satisfied with it. This chapter was rewritten.
It’s too late, the second chapter is postponed, don’t wait, I don’t know if I can write it before going to bed.
