Ye Yaodong did the math with his fingers and it took only a few days.
"The wind has been blowing recently, I don't know when the weather will be."
"As long as it doesn't rain, it's fine. When it rains, it's uncomfortable and damp. The roads are still muddy, and the doors can't go out. The key is that the dried fish can't be dried. Otherwise, even if you can't go to sea, you can go to the city and buy a few thousand catties to dry it. , we can still earn this money.”
"Well, I know, you watch the child, I'll go outside to see if mother has finished killing the fish? I forgot to ask her to keep a basket."
I haven’t gone to sea recently, and everyone has no fresh fish to eat. I leave a basket to share with neighbors or relatives and friends.
The faucet fish is soft and looks quite small, but it is not small when cut cross-sectioned and dried, and the small ones are especially easy to kill.
He directly pulled out a basket of dragon head fish piled up in the corner, picked up a few at random, squeezed them, and found that they were still very fresh, very elastic, and not soft at all.
"What are you doing? If you have free time, take out a kitchen knife and help kill them together. There are so many and small ones, and I don't know how long they will be killed."
"This little one is not easy to kill? It is much easier to kill than a slimy frogfish."
"But there are a lot of them."
"Wait a minute, I'll take some of these and give them away."
"I bought it with money, and gave it away? It's really hot money, and I didn't catch it myself. I caught it myself and said I would give it away, so I bought it back and gave it away..."
Mother Ye couldn't bear to see his prodigal behavior, and thought about it.
Ye Yaodong's hand holding the small washbasin to catch the fish also froze, and he said helplessly: "I didn't send it around for a few cents, but a few friends sent a little, that's what I have to say."
"That was bought with money."
Ye Yaodong shook his head, and he didn't care what his mother said, what's the difference?
After delivering it, Mother Ye asked him what plans he had for the shop?
"Your elder brother and second brother plan to rent it, how about you?"
"I don't know, I'll have to see."
"If you don't take it for rent, do you still plan to go to the city to look at the shop by yourself? The family boat is going to be thrown there and not go out to sea?"
"Isn't it? Dongzi, you don't fish anymore? Then you put the boat at home, why don't you just rent it to your eldest cousin and second cousin? Or sell it to them." The aunt who killed the fish couldn't wait to say. .
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "I don't fish, what can I do? I don't know anything, who knows how many days dried fish can be sold?"
"I didn't say that the store would not be rented out, and it might not be possible to rent it out in a while now. If it can't be rented out, I certainly can't just leave it empty."
"Uh...that too."
"So I have to think about how to do it."
Auntie said again: "When I came here, I heard that you bought two shops in the city. Is it true? I just asked your mother, and your mother still can't explain clearly."
Ye Yaodong glanced at his old mother, it was so rare that he didn't show off.
Mother Ye seemed to understand the meaning of his eyes, and gave him a hard look.
"How did I know how many he bought, and I couldn't control him. I never heard a word of what he said, and I always did what I wanted."
"I'm not a three-year-old, so I have to ask you everything?"
Mother Ye glanced at him, but didn't argue with him, what's the matter, anyway, it's better not to lie at home all day and do nothing.
The aunt smiled again and interrupted the stubborn mouth of the mother and son, "Is it true that I bought two? Dongzi is really promising now. I heard that two of them cost several thousand. Then you add the one at home. A boat, can’t be a proper ten-thousand-dollar household?”
"Oh~ how easy is it? I bought it by borrowing a lot of money from my parents, and I owe a lot of debt. How can I have a ten thousand household? Money is not so easy to earn."
"Last year people said that raising pigs could earn a million yuan a year..."
"That's a pig farmer, we fishers, we depend on the sky for our food, can it be the same?"
Fortunately, the matter of his ordering a big boat was sealed up, so that his family and friends were not allowed to tell the outside world, otherwise there would be an uproar in the village again.
It’s okay to have a two-year buffer period. After another one or two years, ten thousand yuan households will not be eye-catching. Various self-employed businesses will rise, and by then there will be ten thousand yuan households all over the place.
"That's right, we earn every day, and we don't know how many days we can do in a month..."
"Many people in our village have raised pigs this year..."
"I will catch two more piglets next year and raise them..."
The topic changed just like that, and no one asked him how many he bought in the store.
Although he can't hide it, it's fine if he doesn't admit it directly. People can guess freely. Anyway, it's cold, and the couple don't like to hang around.
But anyone who is not blind can see that his family's life is getting more and more prosperous.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the village was obviously more lively than before, and there were more vendors selling things.
From morning to night, there are all kinds of people who carry loads and push carts to sell, especially the only road in the village, which has changed from the depression in winter in the past, and makes people feel the lively atmosphere at the end of the year.
Even the children’s pockets have more snacks, because there are so many relatives coming and going, it is inevitable that they will grab a handful of melon seeds, peanuts, and candies in the children’s pockets.
The largest nearby village, Dongqiao Village, also has a market. Many people from the surrounding villages, large and small, go to the market in Dongqiao Village every morning, or exchange their agricultural and sideline food for other things.
Lin Xiuqing also went shopping twice to buy some small items for the family, and by the way, prepare all the things to send to her mother's house for the new year.
Didn't go to sea, and it wasn't time to deliver the goods. Ye Yaodong is the biggest idler in the family these days, he only needs to play with the children and watch the house every day.
These days are also the happiest days for the children at home, because the winter vacation is finally here, they don’t have to get up early to go to school in the cold weather, and they can play at home every day.
This has grown into a daily question!
"Mom, when are we going to grandma's house? It's been a long time. I've been on vacation for many days. If I didn't go, you should take me to the market first? I heard that the market is very lively, and there are all kinds of things... "
Early in the morning, he followed Lin Xiuqing's side, walking step by step, and even went to wash a diaper, and he would follow him, and he never stopped talking.
Lin Xiuqing wanted to beat her up with a whip when she heard it, "Shut up, ever since I went out to wash a diaper, you've been reading after me. Don't you feel thirsty when you come back from reading now?"
I don’t know who my personality looks like? I can talk so much at a young age.
Ye Yaodong: (Damn!)
"Thirsty, but you didn't answer me, and you didn't say whether you want to take me to the market?"
"Is life too long? It's approaching the end of the year, and there are more and more thieves and human traffickers. If you lose them, you won't be able to see us. At that time, those human traffickers will chop your hands, feet, eyes, and go beg for food. Are you afraid?" Not afraid?"
"But... But last year, Dad took us to the town to go shopping and watch movies, and it was fine."
"That's your father taking us together, I can't take you with me."
"Why can't you take me?"
"Because I get annoyed just looking at you!"
Ye Chenghu: "..."
"Am I still not my own?"
Ye Chengyang interjected: "You were picked up in a latrine!"
"You were the one who picked it up in the latrine!" Ye Chenghu shouted angrily.
"You are!"
"You are!"
"Who are you!"
Ye Chenghu had a swollen face, wanting to hit someone when he rushed up.
Ye Chengyang reacted quickly and quickly ran behind his mother to hide, grabbing the hem of her clothes, dodging from left to right.
Lin Xiuqing twirled the clothes of the people behind her, making them dizzy. Since both of them got a little older, they especially quarreled.
"Stop it for me."
She looked at Ye Yaodong, who was leisurely crossing his legs, sitting in front of the stove warming up the fire while cutting toenails with large scissors, and couldn't help but get angry.
"Do you just leave them alone?"
"Huh?" Ye Yaodong raised his head suspiciously, "What do you care? If you want to fight, just fight, just fight, and save yourself from having to do it yourself."
Lin Xiuqing has black lines all over his head, so he can't be expected to teach children.
Ye Yaodong was holding the big scissors, and he didn't care about the quarrel between the two children. He just thought it was inconvenient how to cut with the big scissors.
He still has big feet, if these are his daughter's small hands, how can he cut them off?
If you are not careful, let alone the meat, you have to cut off your fingers.
Ye Chenghu's chicken thief took advantage of his parents talking there, and Ye Chengyang was also distracted, so he quickly went around, kicked Ye Chengyang's **** fiercely, and then quickly ran to the door up.
Ye Chengyang burst into tears instantly, "Wow, brother kicked me~"
"Shut up, you deserve it too! Why provoke him for no reason?"
He cried louder and sadder in an instant.
Lin Xiuqing didn't bother to care about him, anyway, with his father watching over here, she still had to go into the house to see if the little one was awake?
Ye Yaodong didn't want to bother him at first, he stopped crying after thinking about it, why would a boy coax him?
Who knew that the child's tears were like a faucet, and he couldn't stop it, and his ears were buzzing.
"Okay, don't cry."
Ye Chengyang closed his eyes, tilted his head high, and was so devoted to crying, how could he listen to him?
Ye Yaodong saw his face covered with tears and snot, and also had a headache, "Don't cry, I will take you to your grandma's house tomorrow, not your brother."
It stopped instantly.
"Without brother?"
"Well, don't take him."
"Okay, don't take my brother."
He lifted up his sleeves and wiped his tears and nose. The rain was over in an instant, but the sleeves were also wet, and there was still muddy and sticky mucus.
Ye Yaodong glanced at it with disgust, "Is it disgusting? Can't wipe it with a handkerchief?"
As he said that, he put down the half-cut scissors, twisted it with a rag, and wiped his sleeves, otherwise the small piece of the sleeves would become hard after it dries in a while.
"Then when shall we go?"
"tomorrow."
There is also a new one from the leader, which will come out around two o'clock.
