Chapter 1728 Preparation
“If you want to go back, then go back. Why not just go back sooner and go with the cargo ship? Everyone can just go back on your cargo ship.”
Ye Yaodong nodded in agreement, saying that this was the most convenient and efficient way, and it wouldn't affect the operation of other ships.
"First, we'll unload a batch of goods at the town, then stay home for two days, bring our family along, and then head to the city to unload more goods. Finally, we'll plan our trip to the provincial capital for a wedding, and after returning home, we'll stay for another two or three days before heading to Zhoushan."
"You're going around in circles and confusing me. Let's talk about it later."
"It will be too late to talk about it later. The goods need to be arranged in advance, and the salesperson also needs to be arranged with the manufacturer in advance. In addition, they need to go home a few days in advance, and everything needs to be arranged. Anyway, you don't need to worry about it. I will arrange the return trip. You can just close your eyes and follow along."
"Alright, make sure you time it right, but don't be too tight on the deadline."
"Ah."
Mr. Ye chuckled again, "I wonder what name Ah Hai's child will be named? Have you thought of one yet?"
"How can it be so fast right after birth? We need to think of a name for a few days, and then have a fortune teller help us calculate it."
"You guys are so particular. When we're born, we can just be given any name, like Dazhu, Dashi, Ashan, or Ashui, as long as it comes from the family genealogy."
"Then why do you call yourself Ye Jianzhang, a name that sounds so nice?"
Mr. Ye said proudly, "When I was born, your grandfather happened to have caught a bucket of octopuses..."
Ye Yaodong spat out a mouthful of tea, almost spraying it onto the person opposite him.
Mr. Ye's eyes widened, and he quickly grabbed a cloth to wipe the table. "Look at the mess you've made of the table! Isn't it disgusting?"
"Hahaha...cough cough, hahaha..." Ye Yaodong laughed nonstop.
"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"
"Oh, it's the 'Zhang' in 'octopus'? I thought it was the 'Zhang' in 'stamp'... Oh my god, I was thinking everyone's names were something like Ah Shan, Ah Shui, Ah Shi, and Da Yu. Why did you choose such a good name? Hahaha..."
He thinks too much.
Oh, it's the "zhang" in octopus, wow...
"What's so funny? It sounds quite nice, doesn't it?"
"Yes, yes, it sounds nice. Why didn't I name you Ye Jianyu?"
"Isn't your aunt named Ye Ayu?"
"Oh right, I forgot."
LOL, then Ye Yaodong is a good name too.
Ye's father didn't have time to chat with him. He picked up the calendar and flipped through it. He was born on the second day of the sixth lunar month and had a full moon on the second day of the seventh lunar month, which was exactly August 29th.
They have to go back early, around the 20th.
"We'll have to go back around the 20th, right? We'll have to unload the goods, stay home for a few days, go to the city, and then go to the provincial capital."
"It should be pretty much the same."
Father Ye folded the date over and said, "There aren't many days left, only about ten days."
That's why I said we should prepare early.
"Since the kids are on summer vacation and haven't gone home, we can take them all back so they can play for a few days."
Ye Yaodong added, "Let's check in the next couple of days. If the cargo ship returns, have them go to sea and tell my brother that he's going to have a grandson again."
"Your second brother is going to be envious again, and that kid Ajiang is going to get scolded again."
Both grandsons are from the eldest son's family. The second son's son is indeed disappointing and deserves to be scolded.
Ye Chengjiang was lying in bed like a corpse in the dormitory. He woke up just in time for lunch and felt it was too hot. None of the four of them wanted to get up, so they all lay on the bed like corpses, seeing who couldn't take it anymore.
The person who can't hold on any longer will naturally have to help get the food.
The four of them are currently having a competition to see who is laziest, who can lie down the longest, and who can last the longest, all while verbally swearing at each other.
Ye Chengjiang shouted the loudest, "Damn it, get up and go get your food!"
"Why don't you go?"
"I'm not hungry."
"I'm not hungry either..."
"Sooner or later you will die in your beds."
"If I don't die in my bed, am I supposed to be left to rot in the wilderness?"
"Hahaha……"
"Same rules as always, rock-paper-scissors, the loser gets up and goes to get food!"
"No, we should take turns, that's fair, one person goes for one day!"
"Never mind, I'll wait for Yangyang to come back and have him get me food."
"I also want."
"Have him make me a copy too."
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi had just finished work and eaten at the cafeteria. They ran back, covered in sweat, and as soon as they entered, a task awaited them.
Seeing the four people lying there, acting as if they were entitled to be bossed around, the two pretended not to hear and went to get some fresh air under the electric fan.
"I'm calling you two, didn't you hear me? Go get food for your brothers."
“Go by yourself,” Ye Chengyang said.
"You can't be called anymore?"
"Yes."
"Go get me some food, I'll give you a dime."
Ye Chengyang rolled his eyes. "Brother Jiang, do I look like someone who's short of a penny? My monthly salary is 160!"
Ye Xiaoxi chimed in, "That's right! We don't need a penny from you."
Two cents?
The two of them turned their heads away, looking down on whoever they were?
"Sanmao, that's no more!"
Ye Chengyang resolutely refused, "I'm not going!"
"I'm not going either. I have plenty of money! I don't want your three cents. It's so hot. A trip like this would be enough to buy an ice pop."
Ye Chengjiang sat up abruptly, glaring at the two of them. It wasn't a good thing that his younger siblings were too rich; they were so docile that they couldn't be persuaded anymore, and money held no appeal for them.
"Want 5 cents?"
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly spoke up, "You still have the appetite to eat?"
Ye Chengjiang was puzzled. "Why wouldn't I be in the mood to eat? I'm in a great mood."
"Brother Hai has had a son too!"
"Oh! When was she born?"
Ye Chenghe sat up in surprise, "My sister-in-law gave birth too?"
"They said it was just dawn when the phone rang. My dad told my grandpa that when the fish harvesting boat returned, he should tell the uncle at sea."
"Damn it, I'm going to have a massive hemorrhage again."
Ye Chengyang said, "Is that all you care about? Our grandpa is already arguing with others over there, saying that you're useless."
Ye Chenghe laughed heartily, "Indeed, by the time my son can run, your son will probably still be out of sight. You want to have more children than me?"
Ye Chengjiang lay back down, pulled the blanket up to cover his head, and thought, "I might as well die; I'm not going out."
Ye Xiaoxi ran over and patted him, "Don't worry, Brother Jiang. My dad said the factory is going to have a social event with the textile factory. There will definitely be a lot of pretty young ladies there. You can just find the prettiest one to date, and then you'll have a son next year."
Ye Chengjiang pretended not to hear. What marriage? He hasn't had enough fun yet. He's still a child.
He's had enough of being managed by his mother; he's only had a few years of freedom, and he doesn't want to jump back into that mess.
"Brother Jiang, tell me which girl you like, and I'll talk to her for you. That way, you won't be shy, and neither will the girl."
Lin Guangming asked, "When are we going to have a get-together?"
"It seems they said it would be around the Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's Day, because the Qixi Festival is too rushed and they can't make it."
"That'll be soon. Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are close together, only two months apart."
"Cousin, you need to find someone soon. My aunt keeps calling my mom, asking her to introduce you to more potential partners and talk to you about it."
Lin Guangming lay back down straight. "Alright, enough already. The old folks are pressuring you to get married, and now even someone as tiny as you is doing it?"
“I’m just concerned about you. Grandpa is going to cut down the jujube tree in front of the door. That won’t do.”
Ye Xiaoxi continued babbling, "Wouldn't it be great if you found someone sooner? That way, someone would take care of you, do your laundry, cook for you, and have your babies."
"What do you know, you little brat? Having babies."
"Of course I know, you two can have a baby just by sleeping in the same bed and kissing and hugging."
"You know this as well?"
"Of course!"
Ye Chengyang quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from saying anything outrageous, "Come on, go find your cousin to play."
Lin Guangming said, "Your older cousin doesn't have a boyfriend yet, go and urge her to get married."
“Okay, then I’ll go tell her that I have a little nephew again.”
When Ye Xiaoxi went to Lin Dongxue's place, she kept talking and urging her to get married. She had learned all the ways adults do.
Looking at her mature-looking daughter, Lin Dongxue smiled and said, "Why would I get married so early? To find a husband to do my laundry, cook for me, have children, and take care of them? Aren't these all perks for men?"
"Whenever men are urged to get married, the common saying is that they should find a wife so that someone can take care of them and prevent them from living a miserable life. They also want someone to have children, help take care of the house and the elderly, and let the wife do all the work."
"Pushing women to get married is just to say that they'll have someone to rely on in the future. What a load of rubbish! All they'll get is endless work and constant complaints, and they might not even be reliable."
Ye Xiaoxi was stunned after hearing this; her mind went blank.
That seems to be the case?
When her mother was on the phone with her aunt, that's what she said, I think?
So that my cousins can get married so I can take care of them? And so that my older cousin can have someone to rely on after she gets married?
"You're just a little kid and you're worrying about so much. Just play by yourself."
"Oh, cousin, you're absolutely right. My two cousins and two other cousins are still lying around in their dorms like corpses. Nobody goes to get food and they want me to go get it for them. They offered me a penny or two, but I'm not going. Let them be lazy to death. No wonder people say you should find a wife to take care of them. Don't go looking for lazybones like that."
Lin Dongxue kept laughing, amused by this kind of sabotage.
"They're so stingy, they only raised it to three cents. I won't accept that. Let them find a wife and let her do the work."
Go do your thing.
Ye Chengjiang's life became increasingly miserable from then on, with every villager who encountered him asking him questions.
"I heard Ah Hai had a son? Cheng He also has a son, when will it be your turn?"
“You three brothers have all made something of yourself. The other two have already had sons. You're the only one who hasn’t.”
"Ah Hai already has a son, aren't you in a hurry? Do you have a girlfriend yet? When are you getting married? You need to hurry up!"
"My niece is also single, would you like me to introduce you to her..."
Ye Chengjiang has a big head.
