He always wanted to go back home as soon as possible, but he was always unable to do so. However, he felt that he could go back earlier this year, with the fishing boat workers, while his father stayed behind.
Then, the accountant who stayed until the end, the truck driver, and a few scattered workers will all be taken back together.
He's always the one who stays until the very end every year; this year, let his dad shine a little.
He'll be setting sail in a few days, so he should come back as soon as possible. He's worked hard for most of the year, and it's been years since he's worked this hard. It's only right that he goes back early for the feast.
For the next few days, he was extremely busy. After sleeping until he naturally woke up, he would inspect the properties, check the boats, and see the progress of the house renovations.
When I get home in the evening, I still have to chat with the kids and spend a little time with them. It's okay, though, because I don't have to help them with their homework.
But he couldn't stay for long. He stayed there for a week, supposedly to rest, but he was still running around every day and didn't stay at home to rest. However, he did feel more relaxed mentally.
It's been over a month since we got back. If we don't go out to sea soon, it will be delayed until December. By then, we won't be able to fish for more than a few days before having to come back again. It's such a waste of fuel money.
Ye Yaodong planned to go back after seven days, but the day before he was to leave, he hesitated about whether to tell his children. He didn't care about his son, but his daughter was too clingy.
If you don't tell her when you leave, she'll definitely call and nag you endlessly afterwards.
After thinking about it, I decided to talk to her about it the night before.
"I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning. You need to be a good girl at home, listen to your mother, and study hard, okay?"
"Oh? You're leaving? You've only been here a few days, and you're already leaving?"
"I've been here for a week, it's time to go back to sea."
"Aren't there workers? Aren't there workers on the ship? You didn't go before, why are you going out to sea again now?"
“This time it’s different. We’re going to a more distant sea. You’re just a kid, you don’t understand, so don’t ask so many questions.”
"You only ask if you don't understand. If I understand, of course I won't ask."
"How am I supposed to answer that? You wouldn't know if I told you, and it's too far to take you there."
Ye Xiaoxi looked unhappy. "When are you coming back?"
"Come back earlier this year, and we can go home together, okay?"
"Really? Are you kidding me? You've never come back with us for Chinese New Year. You always come back several days late, right before the New Year is almost here."
"Not this year. I'll go back with you earlier this year."
"You keep your word?"
"Ah."
"If you don't keep your word, you'll get double the New Year's money!"
"Hehehe, okay."
Ye Xiaoxi tilted her head. "Oh no, now I don't know whether to hope you come back early or late."
"You haven't saved enough money yet? You're just thinking about your New Year's money. When are you going to lend it to me?"
"You're so rich, why do you still want to borrow money from me? No way! You can take my head or my life, but I have no money."
"What nonsense are you studying all day? Go do your homework and memorize your English."
"It's a word."
Ye Yaodong teased her on purpose, "If I come back late, I'll give you double the New Year's money. If I come back early, do you have to give me New Year's money? I don't want double, just give me a little something."
Ye Xiaoxi's eyes darted around, "Alright then."
"What wicked idea are you hatching now?"
"No, I didn't."
After saying that, she ran off to do her homework.
Ye Yaodong always felt that she was going to cause trouble. He knew what she was up to the moment she showed her backside, but right now she seemed perfectly normal.
Ye Chengyang was easy to talk to. Ye Yaodong went to his room and saw him engrossed in doing his homework. He then knocked on the door and told him that he would be going back early the next morning.
He nodded and said sensibly, "Okay, Dad, you're so busy, you should go back soon. You've been here for many days already. The sooner you finish your work, the sooner you can go back to your hometown for the New Year. When I have my winter vacation, I'll go to the factory again to help you."
"We're going to sea."
"Couldn't you have been a little more vague? Why did you have to be so specific and tell me to go to sea?"
"That's how it is. This was decided a long time ago. If I don't explain it to you clearly, you'll just stay at the factory. I'm out at sea every day and I can't control you, and nobody else can control you either."
"I know, but my older brother is still here, isn't he? He'll definitely keep an eye on me, supervise me every day, and make sure I go to sea. If I don't go for even a day, he'll definitely tell you."
"Going to sea shouldn't interfere with your homework. Also, when you're doing your homework or reading, make sure the lights are on in your room and don't droop your head too low. You're already nearsighted; if you study for a few more years, you'll go blind."
"I know, I've been paying attention. My temperature is only a little over 100 degrees."
After Ye Yaodong saw that he had corrected his posture, he went back to his room without lingering, so as not to delay him from doing his homework.
I'm already a junior in high school this semester. I'll have another semester of junior high next semester, and then I'll be a senior in the second half of the year. Time flies by.
After more than a year of high school study and after-school tutoring, Ye Chengyang has excellent grades in all subjects, including English. His overall grades have consistently ranked among the top in his class, and he has a good chance of getting into a good university.
Nowadays, college graduates are in high demand and can be hired anywhere.
After he finishes his college entrance exam the year after next, it will be Ye Xiaoxi's turn to take over and continue teaching him to the first year of high school.
Inside the house, Lin Xiuqing was packing his clothes and luggage, bringing him here to change and then taking them back.
He already had everything at home, so he only brought a backpack.
"Did you tell the two children?"
"It's settled."
"Then you can decide what to do then. Come back early, we'll be waiting for you."
"I'll go back and check the return date first, and then I'll call you to let you know when it's confirmed."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at the mobile phone placed beside her and felt that it was a bit useless since she hadn't made any calls in the past few days. She regretted keeping the mobile phone and spending several thousand yuan to register it.
"If we were at sea, it would be so much easier to make calls using a mobile phone."
"There's no signal, and the coverage isn't that wide. You can't always connect to BBS even if you want to. Let's wait until later. It will definitely be possible later."
The great phone will soon have an upgraded version, and it will also have 2G network.
"Who knows if it will work in the future? When I'm seventy or eighty, how will I still be able to use it? My hearing will be gone, and I won't be able to use it even if I want to."
"How could that be?"
"Why not? Who can know what will happen in the future? I've packed all your things away, and I've put the things you brought back into your backpack."
"Are you done with your work? If you are, go take a shower, get all clean, and wait for me in bed."
Lin Xiuqing was bending over, putting her backpack on the ground, when he slapped her buttocks several times, both slapping and pinching them.
P.S.: We've been talking about the recent issues at Qidian all day. I felt a bit down after writing until midnight. I overdid it by staying up all night. I'll add another chapter during the day.
