Chapter 1441: Another Kind of Filial Piety
Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile, "Why not? It's just a matter of convenience. Chenghe can go home to see his girlfriend. Otherwise, if he is away from home for a long time, what will happen if his girlfriend runs away with someone else?"
Ye Chenghe's face changed, "Nonsense, how could he run away with someone else?"
"That's hard to say."
"Then I will go home once a month from now on!"
Ye Chengjiang: “!!!”
Ye Yaodong looked at the expressions of the two and laughed.
"No! That's not fair. If you go back every month, won't I have to do it all?" Ye Chengjiang is not stupid.
"You just said that we two brothers are brothers, we grew up wearing the same pants, so who does more and who does less, what does it matter?"
"Is this one o'clock?"
"you said!"
"I'm just saying one thing. Missing half a month every month is not okay!" Ye Chengjiang protested with his neck.
"Then I can do more work when you find someone."
"What if I can't find someone?"
"You deserve to be single and work so hard!"
"Fuck you Ye Chenghe, you are the one who has to work so hard to be single!"
"So you were just fooling me! It's what Uncle San often calls a pie in the sky..."
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
The two brothers stretched their necks and shouted at each other, arguing with each other and trying to see whose voice was louder.
Ye Yaodong just left, not caring who won or lost. It seemed that no one could convince anyone else, and it all depended on who had the bigger fist.
Everyone feels uncomfortable in heavy rain. Everything is wet and humid. No one will go to appreciate the misty Jiangnan. Only when the living standards are high and people have no worries about food and clothing will they have the leisure to appreciate the scenery.
Fortunately, the houses here are newly built, so there is no need to worry about leaks, especially on the first floor.
Everyone is used to living here now, and I guess they will feel uncomfortable when they go back home.
With nowhere to go and no entertainment, everyone inevitably gathered together to gamble and play cards.
Early in the morning, there would be a group of people gathered in every few rooms, and some people who were unlucky would change rooms to change their luck.
Ye Yaodong walked around and saw smoke everywhere. After playing a few games, he went back upstairs to lie down. This kind of weather was perfect for sleeping, it was neither hot nor cold, and it was raining.
After his father came back, he told his father that he would take the cargo ship from Linji back on the 16th of the month and asked his father to remember to take his shift then.
"Don't just focus on making extra money and ignore my work."
"No, definitely not. Didn't I behave very well last time?"
"When I first started, my focus was of course on getting my affairs in order. Now, aren't I reaping the benefits?"
"Of course not. I will finish your work first. When I have free time, I will drive the tractor out to earn money."
"You don't have to be so diligent. Mom knows how much money you make in a day anyway. Even if you make money, it's not yours. You have to hand it in. You can't keep much."
Father Ye frowned and said stubbornly, "I have the final say on how much to give. When we get back, I'll give you as much as I want."
"Okay, that's tough, but don't delay your work. If you delay my work, forget about hiding your private money. I'll give you all the money you have in the bank."
"You coffin boy, how can you threaten your father like this?"
"Who told me that your performance yesterday made me really distrust you? I always felt that you were similar to Ye Chenghe and unreliable."
"Bullshit."
Ye Yaodong said seriously: "Anyway, you must remember not to delay my goods."
"I see, you're so long-winded. If you're worried, don't go back."
"Then I still have to go back to see my wife and children, and I have to take care of the workshops and factories at home. I don't have to go back every month, but at least every two or three months."
Father Ye was already flipping through the calendar. When he saw that the 18th was the Dragon Boat Festival, he suddenly became eager to go home and celebrate the holiday.
Ye Yaodong also saw it, "When I come back, I'll ask my mother to make some more rice dumplings for you to eat."
"Okay, bring some more. They won't go bad in a few days anyway, and you can heat them up and eat them. You don't have to come back to eat when you're driving the tractor outside."
“You really work hard.”
“To make money…”
“I think you can work until you are 90.”
Father Ye immediately shut up.
He used to say he could work until he was 80, but now he says he can work until he is 90.
Scary. I was thinking that you should be proactive in making money.
"Take good care of yourself and try to work for a few more years. When A Jiang and Cheng He have finished their training, as well as the two brothers Cheng Hu and Yang Yang, we will hand them over to you as well."
"Ah? Then...how long do we have to wait?"
"It will be soon. Just wait for 10 years, work for 10 years, and it will be almost done. If you calculate it this way, it seems that you will not be 80 years old by then. You can enjoy your life."
Father Ye blew his beard and glared at him, cursing, "Is this what you call enjoying life? You can call it enjoying life if you don't work until you are 80 years old?"
"Stop talking so much, go and put the chickens and ducks in the cages. They are all crammed in a corner under the eaves. It's getting dark. Count the chickens and ducks before you eat. Now we're leaving."
Father Ye followed behind him and scolded, "You are the one who is always bothering me. You brought so many chickens and ducks here to raise for no reason..."
"You didn't tell me while you were eating?"
“I haven’t eaten any meat either.”
Now it was Ye Yaodong's turn to be speechless.
It seems, indeed.
"Then when you grow up, I'll give you a big chicken drumstick."
"I don't care?"
"That's right. In fact, chicken feet, chicken heads, and chicken butts are the most delicious. Chicken feet taste good, chicken heads can help you wake up early, and chicken butts are good for your skin."
"It's so good, why don't you eat it?"
"Your mother loves you so much that she gave it all to you to eat."
If it wasn't raining, Ye's father would have wanted to take off his shoes and spank him. Wasn't it wrong to say that?
Father Ye went downstairs and saw the chicks and ducklings shivering in the corner. He quickly put them in cages and took the cages to the warehouse.
He took time out to cut bamboo and weave these two cages. It was really a waste of money just for a bite of food.
"You will be back in less than half a month, and the newspaper hasn't been sent yet. Could it be that the newspaper will be sent after you get home?"
"I thought so too. Isn't it such a coincidence?"
"It's okay, I'll open it when it arrives."
"How many words do you know?"
Father Ye was a little unnatural. "I've been too busy these past two days. I'll start making up for it tomorrow and continue learning to read."
"Look, he can't even read a newspaper, and he doesn't even know how glorious his son is. How unfortunate!"
"I will continue learning to read tomorrow."
At this time, Ye's father really wanted to become an educated person and be able to read and write newspapers.
"Dad, think about it. When you are old and retired, you can sit in a reclining chair at the door of your home, put on your reading glasses, shake a newspaper, read it while shaking it, and put a pot of hot tea at hand. Isn't it comfortable?"
Father Ye nodded with some longing after hearing what he said.
"Everyone who passes by will look at you twice and say hello to you."
"Hey, hurry up and eat, you're talking so much."
“This is also the old age life I yearn for.”
"Uncle San, I'm full, I've eaten too much, so stop drawing." Ye Chengjiang said with a giggle.
"You know nothing. Did you win the fight? Who won this afternoon?"
Ye Chenghe straightened his back and said, "Of course I won..."
"It's obviously a draw."
"We agreed that if one of us is not here, there will be no money to share. Only if we work together can we share the money together!"
Father Ye was curious, "What did you do? Did you fight?"
Ye Yaodong talked about what happened in the afternoon.
Ye Chenghe also said: "Uncle San, I will go back with you then. I have earned more than 100 yuan during this period. If I work for another half month, I can earn more than 100 yuan. I will not be here for the remaining half month, so A Jiang can do it alone and give it to him. It is fair."
"Just discuss it among yourselves, it's all fine. You guys are doing this as a partnership anyway."
Ye Chengjiang snorted, "If it's unfair, let's break up!"
Father Ye glared at the two of them and said, "You're thinking about breaking up right after we started. You're just like Zhu Bajie. What else can you accomplish?"
"Zhu Bajie has also reached the West."
"You are the only one who can argue."
After saying this, Father Ye's heart moved again, "Hey? Dongzi, your family now has a color TV, so why don't you move the black and white TV up here and install it in this room?"
"So we can watch TV series when we get home at night? We won't be bored. Anyway, the black and white TV is just there at home. If we don't turn it on, it will break down."
"That's possible. I originally told Fatty to install one in the cafeteria, but he said that after he worked for two months and earned enough money, he would install a color TV directly."
"That's even better. I can watch one in the cafeteria during the day, and one in my room. I can watch it while lying down in my room before going to bed. How comfortable."
Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe nodded, "That's good, that's good, we'll go to your room and take a look then."
Ye Yaodong glanced at them and ignored them.
Not long after he set the date for his return, everyone in the camp knew that the cargo ship route to Linji had been opened and could go directly to the town's dock on the 16th. Ye Yaodong was also going to go back on that day.
Everyone was eager to make something happen and started to communicate with each other.
By the middle of the month it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and they came out after the Lantern Festival, so it had been about three and a half months.
It would be a lie to say that I don't want to go back, but if I work for someone else, and I am hired on a regular basis throughout the year, I must follow their instructions.
They do whatever their boss tells them to do.
Ye Yaodong only planned to take two back as usual, and the others would go out to sea as usual. One day not going was a day's loss, and he certainly couldn't keep such a large group of people in vain.
But the workers have no freedom, but the ship boss does.
When Ye Yaodong's friends heard that he was going back in the middle of the month, they all came to him and said they wanted to go back with him.
"The number of people on your ship is just right, not one more. If you leave, what will happen if there is one less person on the ship? Guang is fine, because he has an extra father, and his father can take his place."
Lao Pei came up here to collect the rent for his boats, so he would occasionally take over for A Guang, and the father and son could take turns to rest.
Even if the others brought their brothers with them, the number of people was just right and there was no one to call for extra.
Ah Zheng said, "I've discussed this with my father. Let's just make do with it for half a month. We may not have to stay at sea for half a month. Who can predict the weather?"
"Let the others work harder for now. I plan to go home and call another worker up so that we can take turns. I don't have to work so hard on the sea every day. You are so lucky. You don't even have to go out to sea. There are people to help you with so many boats."
This is what A Guang said.
They all want to go back so much. It seems that they have worked enough and want to learn from him, find more people to take over their shifts so that they can have more free time.
Now that they have made money and his leisurely life is in contrast, they don't really want to stay at sea and suffer.
"I'm so jealous. You make so much money and yet you can be so leisurely. You can go home whenever you want and you don't have to work. Damn, how can you have such a good life?" Xiaoxiao cursed.
"When I worked so hard, you didn't see it. You only saw me making money and lying at home. What do you mean by suffering first and then happiness? It's what I am like."
"It's not raining anymore, please treat us to a massage tonight, damn, you'll be so happy."
"Are you going to die? You dare to ask your brother-in-law to treat you to a massage?"
"If you don't invite me, I'll go home and tell my sister-in-law."
"You fucking..."
Xiao Xiao said: "You can take your father there, why can't you take us there?"
Father Ye quickly retorted, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Ah Zheng leaned over to Ye's father and sniffed him, then said with a chuckle, "Uncle, every night when I come back home, you are the one who smells the best."
"Hey, we didn't smell it from Dongzi, but we smelled it from you. It seems that you go there more frequently than Dongzi!"
Father Ye’s face turned red as liver color. Luckily he was dark-skinned, so it couldn’t be seen unless you looked closely. However, one could tell from his expression that he was extremely embarrassed at the moment.
"How could I have been there recently? I was busy taking my grandson to drive the tractor. I only went there a few times last month when he was not at home. Wasn't it just for him to entertain?"
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right!"
Xiao Xiao said: "Dongzi, don't ask your father to go to the social event, let him take a break, I will go for him..."
Ah Zheng put his arm around Ye's father's shoulder and said, "Uncle, Dongzi has earned so much money, so it's only right for him to treat his brothers to a massage, right?"
Father Ye's embarrassment was relieved by their jokes, and he laughed and scolded, "If you want to ask him to treat you, go find him. Why do you have to bring me up? Go, go find him, don't find me."
After saying this, Father Ye shrugged his shoulders, shook off his hand, and quickly slipped away.
He couldn't bear any more teasing.
The key point is, if someone hears it, your reputation will be ruined.
Ye Yaodong still had his feet crossed.
It’s all his dad’s fault, the truth is out!
Look how cautious he is. Normally, he takes a bath by himself when he comes back.
"You two are the only ones who know how to enjoy life. If you go together as a gang, why don't you take your brothers with you?"
"What do you mean by being in cahoots with each other? Can you speak?" Ye Yaodong glared at him.
"That's what good brothers do. They enjoy themselves together, and father and son become comrades-in-arms."
"We work so hard and suffer so much, can you bear it?"
"It's because we stay at sea every day. Either we don't have time or you're not here. Otherwise, we would have asked you to invite us."
A few of them were talking to each other.
Ye Yaodong waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go tonight, don't waste time!"
"Call the fat guy along. We can't leave him out of this great opportunity."
"I don't know where this fat guy is. He's even busier than you. You can still see his figure every day, but he hasn't even seen a ghost."
Ye Yaodong agreed, "Isn't it? The fat guy is busier than me. I can't see him all day. Damn, he should be so happy. I still have to work, but he doesn't. He really has become the boss."
"Why is he going?"
"He wouldn't go there secretly every day, would he? Fatty..."
"Who knows? Never mind. One less person means I can spend less money."
The four of them hit it off immediately and decided to leave right away since they had just finished dinner.
Only after they started to enjoy themselves did they realize how hard life they had been living before.
"Damn it, such a good thing, but you never invited us, are you still brothers?"
"No wonder those people in the camp go out arm in arm every night. It turns out there are vegetarian dishes to eat. I thought they were just eating meat."
"I thought so too. During my breaks, my father kept an eye on me and told me not to learn from those people."
"Dongzi! You are really smart. Just take your father there! No one will take care of you this way, right?"
"You are still taller!"
"Next time I'll bring my dad here too, and see if he still nags at me every day and controls me!"
"Your father has good food, there's no reason for me not to be filial to him."
"This way, when you go out, he won't nag you, and he'll even go with you, right? Hahahaha..."
Ye Yaodong was a little amused when listening to their words. "Who the hell would bring their dad to a place like this? I was brought here because I was accompanying my boss for a social event. My dad also followed me around last year and was dragged here by those bosses. He didn't go there willingly."
"Reluctantly? I saw your father humming a song when he came home once. It was pretty cool. I thought he was still pretty amazing at his age."
"I was thinking about how filial you were to your father."
“It turns out he’s a vegetarian.”
"You should be happy now, right? Hahaha..."
"Stop talking nonsense and go back to bed. We have to go out to sea tomorrow."
"Who said we're going out to sea tomorrow?"
"The wind and waves died down during the day, and even the rain stopped at night. Shouldn't you go out to sea quickly? You've been resting for several days, so why don't you make money?"
During these days when we were not going out to sea, everyone was busy. We went to the dock every day to check the wind and waves.
You can’t just listen to the weather forecast on the radio; it may not be accurate; you still have to go and experience it yourself.
They were paying close attention. From the afternoon onwards, more people started going out to sea, so of course they had to keep up.
"Then we'll go out to sea tomorrow and come back a day early on your seafood boat?"
"That's no problem. You can make the rest your own arrangements."
"Please talk to Ah Shang for us and ask him to pay for the boat tickets. We are not familiar with him, but you are more familiar with him. Besides, we have never met each other all day long."
"it is good."
It's all just a matter of convenience, a piece of cake.
Ye Yaodong thought that they were planning to go back and hire one more person to take over their work, so that they would have more free time.
I was thinking that when I get home I will tell them about our trip to Shanghai next month. It will be more lively there and there will be someone to look after me.
Everyone is positive now and making progress together, which is great. It’s time to go out and broaden your horizons and see more.
Anyway, they seem to be free for the time being. If they knew he was going to Shanghai, they would definitely clamor to follow him. It would be better for him to take the initiative.
I also have to call him the eldest brother and the second brother. Both of them are too honest. They just work hard and feel that they have earned a lot every day. That's enough and they are very content.
Have to take them to see it.
What's more, if they can buy land, we should persuade them to buy one so that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
His steps are a bit too fast now, and no one can keep up with him, but if he meets someone who can give him a lift, he will give them a lift.
It’s up to them whether they listen or not.
However, even if you don’t buy anything, just visiting the Jiangnan Shipyard is enough to broaden your horizons.
It's still early now, so there's no need to talk about it so early. He can talk about it after he comes back from home and the route to the Magic City is opened from Linji.
Otherwise, everyone would keep asking him questions, and the news would spread everywhere.
As soon as Ye Yaodong arrived home, his father came over with some concern.
"Dongzi, even your friends know that we go for massage every few days. The whole camp, don't tell everyone, right?"
"So what if you know? It's normal to know. What's the big deal? Don't other people go there too? There are people going there every day, both vegetarians and nonvegetarians. What are you afraid of?"
Are you a meat eater? Are you a vegetarian?
Father Ye was confused and thought for a while before he realized what it meant.
"Aren't I worried that it would be transmitted back?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. "You didn't cheat, so why are you worried? What are you afraid of? Those who cheat should be worried and afraid. They are all unclean, so who would say anything? Don't worry, everyone will keep their mouths shut and help each other."
"That's true. Those who cheat on their partners should be afraid. No one is cleaner than anyone else."
"I really envy you. Your son is so filial that he takes you there."
"Nonsense, people will laugh at you."
"How is that possible? Ah Zheng said that he wanted to take his father with him to enjoy the trip. He said that his father had suffered for half his life just for him. Now that he is old, he should be filial to his father and let his father enjoy the trip. He can't enjoy it alone."
Father Ye couldn't hide the surprised expression on his face, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
This filial piety... is too different...
"You guys... your brains are all different from normal people."
"Cut~"
"If his mother knew, she would skin him alive."
"It doesn't matter. He is my only son. I won't beat him to death."
After Ye Yaodong took off his clothes, he looked at his father curiously again, "You didn't stay in the house worrying all night, did you?"
"No, I just asked since I saw you were back."
"You have the desire but not the courage. Don't worry, I'll cover for you. I'll just say you're helping me with the socializing and I'll just go there to chat."
Father Ye quickly changed the subject, "There is only one week left before you go back, you should collect everything you need in advance, so that you don't forget anything."
"Also, we've accumulated a batch of goods in the warehouse since the Chinese New Year, so you can take some back with you. It's hot now and it's not convenient to dry them at home, so it's better to have ready-made stock to take back with you."
"We will pay them the fare they deserve. You can't always take advantage of them. You will have to continue riding their boat in the future."
Ye Yaodong said unhappily: "Do you need to tell me this?"
I'm in Singapore today. A lot of authors asked for leave! I didn't! (Hands on hips!)
The next chapter will be updated at around one o'clock.
