Ye Chenghu ran home happily, faster than anyone else, and he was reluctant to go back.
However, he was disappointed when he got back. It turned out that they all ran to the beach after eating. The tide happened to be low and there were no adults at home, so they went to collect the octopus.
Ye Chenghu didn't have anything to share, so he ran to the beach in frustration.
After Ye Mu returned to Ye Yaodong's house, she took out the duck and half of the loquats. "Let's take the rest next door and give it to your eldest and second brothers, right? Give it to the other children to have a few bites."
Ye Yaodong doesn't care.
Lin Xiuqing didn't care. Both of her children had enough to eat in the afternoon. It didn't matter what they brought back to share with the other children.
"The duck should also be stewed at night. Otherwise it won't be fresh tomorrow. Just stew it at night and share it with a few children. It can clear away heat and detoxify."
When Mother Ye heard what Ye Yaodong said, she glanced at Lin Xiuqing and nodded when she saw that she didn't say anything or was not unhappy.
"Then I'll stew it tonight, and the family will share a little bit, and then we'll be done with it."
Lin Xiuqing, on the other hand, was thinking about the boat.
After the leaders finished talking in the morning, everyone went to Thean Hou Temple together, and then sat down separately. She didn't have time to ask about Adong Chuan.
When she came back now, she remembered it again.
"A Dong."
"Um?"
"The leader said this morning that he would leave a boat for us. Will he keep it? What's the minimum price he said?"
"Now that I have asked, I will definitely keep it. As for giving a minimum price, I don't know how much it will be, but it will definitely be cheap, and I will definitely not lose money if I buy it."
Lin Xiuqing looked helpless, "I knew it would not be a loss if I bought it, but this time there is another boat..."
"What are you talking about, another boat, and what's the lowest price? Did your father say that a few days ago?" Mother Ye also knew that she couldn't just yell after stealing someone else's boat, so she said vaguely.
She didn't believe what Ye's father made up. Their behavior that night was too suspicious. They all worked hard until dawn and didn't come back until dawn. The next day, the baskets of spat smelled of diesel, and they were obviously pried from the bottom of the boat.
Who stays up at night to pry the bottom of a boat? There was obviously something wrong between the two of them that night, and she was not a fool.
Under questioning, Father Ye couldn't make it up, so he had no choice but to tell it, and he had to give countless explanations not to let it out.
She still knows the importance of things. Although she usually has a big mouth and loves to show off, this matter is rotten in her heart.
"no."
Ye Yaodong told them what happened in the morning. His father had stood in the yard for a while in the morning, but he was too embarrassed to come in. He didn't know that Director Chen helped him get a boat at a low price.
After listening to what he said, Father Ye immediately patted his thigh, "I should have asked for one more if I had known! Give your eldest brother and two brothers the same one, so that's enough."
"You're thinking too well. I'm just trying to save Director Chen's face, so I don't have the nerve to ask for one more."
"That's true."
Mother Ye opened her mouth to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Ye Yaodong knew what his mother was thinking at a glance, "I don't want too many boats. I want as many boats as I want. Just a few more boats. If the eldest and second brothers have ideas, they can go to the town to try their luck."
"Ask them later."
Ye Mu asked, "Are you ready to drive back together then?"
"Isn't this just right? Just let the news out to the outside world and say that the boss gave me face and allowed me to buy two at the lowest price. Isn't this great? The origin has been explained clearly, and we can all drive back openly. Who can really run away? The border station asked how many boats were sold and to whom?"
"Ah, no!" Ye Yaodong slapped his forehead, "I already painted and marked it that night, and I almost forgot about this."
Lin Xiuqing thought for a while, "Then I'd better let my mother spread the word tomorrow and say that we bought a boat with someone and we only have to wait and see before we can drive it back."
"Then why don't I just go and see it tomorrow. By the way, tell people that it's because you bought a boat, and I'll take a look at it and then drive it back. This is more natural and not so deliberate."
"That's okay! Mom, you can help me check it out tomorrow. After that, I'll drive that boat back first. When the border defense station handles the fishing boats, I can go over there and drive the second one."
"But now you have two more boats. Can you be busy? What are you going to do?"
Mother Ye rarely spoke to him seriously, and she usually either disliked him or cursed him.
"I haven't thought about it yet. If this is going to be used as a partnership, my father will have to help pick up the goods at home, and he will be catching squid soon. I feel a bit at a loss. I don't earn this good money myself, but earn it for others. It's a bit... I’m not willing to give in.”
Father Ye nodded, "That's the truth, but even if I help you sail one boat, the other boat will not be taken care of. You still have to deal with it or use it."
"Well... let me think about it first. Don't rush. Let's bring the boat back first. We will also think about it in the past two days and discuss how to deal with the two new boats."
He didn't think about how to deal with it for the moment. This was too temporary. He never thought that good luck would suddenly come from the sky and there would be another boat.
He had been thinking about the boat he had snatched for the past few days. He and his father would open a boat in the future and ask the two of them to catch the squid first. Today, there was an extra boat, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, then you think about it first. If you are too busy and need an extra boat, you can rent it to your eldest brother or two brothers. The wealth will not go to other people's fields. Then ask a few of your cousins to help out. Let's figure it out. wages.”
"Let me think about my plans first? We'll talk about it later."
Originally, he was thinking that after catching squid, he might be able to rent it to Brother Asheng. Since his mother said it would be rented to his eldest and second brothers, if he really wanted to rent it, he would ask the eldest and second brothers. If his own brothers wanted it, he would definitely give priority.
"Okay, let's think about how to arrange it first, and we'll talk about it when the boat comes back. Burp~ I drank too much, go back to sleep." Father Ye burped, feeling a little drunker after speaking.
Mother Ye slapped him hard twice, "If you don't want money, just drink to death. I'll drink you to death. Life has been easy these past two years. I drink secretly every day."
Father Ye quickly hunched his shoulders and jumped to the side, "It's free. If you don't drink, it's free. You must drink more to make up for it."
Ye's mother wanted to hit him twice, but Ye's father had already cleverly walked out first. He didn't wait for her, so she had to follow him out and talk to him.
"Immortal... I've never seen you drink like this before..."
Lin Xiuqing didn't feel surprised when she saw the two old men going out cursing one after another.
Since last year, they brewed several jars of starfish wine and sea snake wine, the alcohol bug in Father Ye’s stomach seems to have awakened. He used to be restrained, maybe because he didn’t have enough money to drink, but now he drinks two glasses every night. Just before going to bed, Mother Ye didn’t know how many times she had chanted.
"It's mid-afternoon, you should go and take a nap first. Your face is red, and it looks like you drank a lot."
"You all go and take a nap. Take a nap at noon and be energetic in the afternoon. Just let me watch Xiaojiu."
"Okay, let's discuss the boat."
Lin Xiuqing didn't want to sleep at first, but after hearing him talk about discussing the boat, she followed him into the house.
Ye Yaodong did drink some wine at noon, but it was broad daylight and there were people around him. He was afraid of looking ugly, so he didn't drink much.
As soon as he entered the room, he started to take off his clothes. Lin Xiuqing saw that he couldn't unbutton his buttons for a long time, so she stepped forward to help.
"Why are you so anxious? I'll have to sew it up later when the button is torn. People usually unbutton it from top to bottom, but you unbutton it from bottom to top."
"Who is that person? Have you ever seen anyone unbuttoned?" Ye Yaodong frowned.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, "Who else have I seen unbuttoned? Except for my family and your family, or I saw people taking off their coats on the road. In the summer in the village, everyone is carrying a washbasin. Can’t we watch the men sitting at the gate or taking a shower at the back door?”
"snort."
"When we lived together in the past, my father and my eldest and second brothers would go shirtless every evening in the summer and walk around the house in only shorts. What's wrong with us all of a sudden? Why do we still say this?"
Ye Yaodong didn't make a sound and just snorted again.
Lin Xiuqing unbuttoned all the buttons for him and patted his chest, "Go to sleep."
Ye Yaodong hugged her and fell on the bed, "Sleep together."
"You lie down on your bed first, and I'll take off my coat."
"I'll just take it off for you. It's such a simple matter."
"Don't be serious. It's time for the two kids to run in after collecting the octopuses."
"No, there is an old lady watching over there, and she won't let them come in and disturb our sleep."
Lin Xiuqing half-pushed him to take off his clothes and asked, "What are you going to do if we really have three boats?"
"Let's first see when the low-price boat can come back. It may take ten days and a half. By then, if you want to catch squid, you will have to trawl, and you may only be able to touch the tail."
"The one parked at Hairun Pier, I'll let my mother know about it tomorrow. No matter whether there are days or not in the past two days, I will drive it back and paint it first. When a good day comes, I will set off firecrackers to suit the scene. Enough."
"It is estimated that in a few days, I will have to go up the mountain to cut firewood and prepare more branches. This year, I will prepare at least double the amount. I will earn double the amount. I will become rich again, my wife."
Ye Yaodong became happy as he spoke. He hugged Lin Xiuqing and kissed her fiercely, smiling broadly.
Lin Xiuqing was also very happy. She picked up a boat and got another boat at a low price. She saved thousands of money, not to mention that two boats could bring even greater profits.
In fact, some of his answers were incorrect.
"The plan can be this: Who do you plan to sail the ship to?"
He put his hands behind his head, stopped flirting with her, and said seriously: "For the time being, I'm thinking that dad will drive one boat, and I'll drive one, and we'll hire two people. If both boats work at the same time, we can earn more. After all, If we don’t have much money left on hand after delivering the big ship, we need to earn more money to put on hand.”
"I have food at home, so I don't panic. As for the other boat, as my mother said, the fat water will not flow to other people's fields. When I get it, I will ask the eldest and second brothers. I will build a boat, they will build a boat, and then they will provide labor. Thinking of dividing it into three parts and seeing if they all agree?"
"Three portions?"
"Yes, although the two of them built a boat, they still paid for the labor. Let's build a boat. The profits from the two boats will be divided into three parts, and the three people will share it equally. Can we see if we can do it then?"
When his mother asked just now, he also thought about it and thought of this idea.
I just thought it was still early and I wasn’t in a hurry to bring it up.
