Chapter 1390 Picking up people
Looking at the mischievous expressions of a group of aunts and grandmas.
He had no choice but to say openly, "That's right. The whole family depends on Ah Qing to support us. Isn't she my dearest?"
Ye Xiaoxi also said happily: "The older baby gave birth to the younger baby, and there is still an older baby at home."
Ye Yaodong picked her up with a smile, and scratched her nose hard with his index finger.
"It hurts..."
"You're the only one who can talk. You keep on talking."
The young girls and wives around have long been envious.
Ye Yaodong also quickly carried her away to prevent her from saying anything nonsense.
Next time, don’t talk nonsense in front of the child, especially what you say under the covers, she can tell you everything.
Fortunately, he always waited until the children fell asleep before doing it secretly.
She should be sent away at night and sleep with the old lady.
In the past few months, she slept with the old lady because of the temptation of money. Only after he left did she go back to sleep with Lin Xiuqing.
Ye Yaodong carried her out and discussed things with her.
"You go sleep with A Tai these few days, and I'll give you 5 cents a day."
"make a deal!"
She stretched out her hand and waited for a long time before Ye Yaodong thought of high-fiving her.
"Dad, you are so stupid."
"How come you have so many?"
"My brother taught me."
"Okay, go home and find A Tai yourself."
Ye Yaodong came out but didn't feel like going back in. He couldn't stand the looks from so many women...
Having nothing to do, he strolled around the village before going home to watch TV.
He was only startled when Lin Xiuqing came in with a red face and pinched him.
"What are you doing?"
"What nonsense are you talking about in the workshop?"
"What? That's not what I said. That's what your daughter said. She said I called her little darling and you big darling in bed."
Lin Xiuqing wanted to strangle him again, so he quickly dodged and turned off the TV.
"The child is watching."
Ye Chenghu quickly withdrew his stealthy glance, lowered his head and pretended to do his homework.
"I talk nonsense all day long. My children have learned it and talk nonsense outside. It's so embarrassing for me to walk around there. Everyone laughs at me..."
"Believe me, they envy you. They envy you so much for having such a good husband and lovely children."
"He's just trying to flatter himself. I'm so embarrassed. Go away. Where's your daughter? She just gave me a beating this morning and I'm itching again."
"I have punished her by making her sleep with the old lady at night."
"You are clearly rewarding yourself."
"Ha ha……"
"Ye Chenghu!" Lin Xiuqing shouted.
Ye Chenghu shuddered all over, "Yes, I'm doing my homework."
"I see your ears are standing up like rabbit ears."
He quickly tore off a small piece of newspaper on the table, crumpled it into two balls and stuffed them into his ears.
"I didn't hear anything."
"This brat..."
Ye Yaodong also glared at Ye Chenghu, "Everyone else has finished their homework, but you are still writing. What are you reading all day? You cram every day, and it's already dark, and you haven't finished your homework yet?"
"I'm writing an essay, but Yangyang doesn't have to write an essay. It's 100 words. Oh my god, Dad, you definitely can't finish it in a day."
Ye Chenghu immediately gathered up the books, papers and pens on the table and said, "I'll go upstairs to write. Humph."
After the annoying person left, Ye Yaodong put his arm around Lin Xiuqing's shoulder and asked, "Tell me, what did they say?"
Lin Xiuqing shrugged her shoulders, shook off his hand, and rolled her eyes at him.
"She winked at me and said in an ambiguous way that we are an old married couple, and it's even more passionate than young people's love. She even called me baby and dear while we were lying in bed."
"Then everyone complained that their men would take off their pants when they got into bed."
"They said you are such a good husband. You can make money and you can comfort your wife. Are you satisfied? Are you happy? They are all compliments to you."
Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched when he heard this, "These old ladies are really good at talking."
"Where is your daughter? If I catch her, I'll beat her up. You better be more restrained and don't speak without restraint in front of the child."
"Who knows if she's asleep or not? Anyway, let her sleep with the old lady from now on. She won't be able to hear anything."
Lin Xiuqing slapped him twice in annoyance and then tried to leave again.
Ye Yaodong grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"To the workshop, where else can I go? All the goods collected today can't be stacked. Some are piled on the tractor. I have to go and take a look so that you can move them to the ship at night."
"alright."
"Have you taken a bath?"
Ye Yaodong was just about to sit back in the chair, but when he heard it, he immediately stood up straight and approached her with a lewd look on his face.
"I washed it before dinner, it's very clean. If you don't believe me, smell it, it still smells good. I can use it anytime..."
Lin Xiuqing spread her palms to cover his face and moved his handsome face away.
"After you shower, throw your dirty clothes in the washing machine and hang them up when I come back."
"That's it?"
Lin Xiuqing didn't respond to him, turned around and walked out.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to shout from upstairs, "Ye Chenghu, Ye Chenghu..."
"I'm here. What are you doing, Dad? Are you done talking? Can I come down now?"
"Get down here and help me put the clothes in the washing machine."
"Okay, I'm coming. I'll be right there."
Bang, bang, bang, the sound of footsteps going down the stairs.
"Dad, where are your dirty clothes?"
"In the room, get it yourself."
"I was wondering why I didn't see it. If I had, I would have put it in the washing machine a long time ago."
Ye Yaodong looked at his back suspiciously as he was busy coming in and out.
Ye Chenghu actively rolled up his sleeves, stuffed the clothes into the washing machine, poured in detergent, and then scooped water into the washing machine one scoop at a time.
Ye Yaodong turned on the TV again and saw that he looked very skilled in his job. He teased, "You washed a lot, didn't you?"
"That's right! I take care of all the clothes in the house. When mom is not around, I wash all the clothes."
"You're not good at studying, but you're good at housework."
"Since you're not at home, of course I have to help my mother with the work."
"Tsk, if only I could be this enthusiastic when studying seriously."
"The teacher said that everyone has their own specialty. People who are not good at studying may be good at other things. The aunties and grandmas in the workshop also said that people who are not good at studying can do great things."
"What the hell."
"They said you were not good at studying, but you could do great things."
"That does make sense!"
"Really? I can do great things in the future."
Ye Yaodong did not refute it this time with any confidence. There are people who become stupid because of reading too much.
"Hurry up and get to work. Stop talking nonsense. Once you're done, go back to writing your composition."
Ye Chenghu skillfully closed the lid of the washing machine, turned the mechanical button, put his hands on the washing machine to feel the vibration inside, and then went upstairs contentedly to continue writing his composition.
Ye Yaodong watched TV for a while, listened to the news broadcast and weather forecast, then turned off the TV and went into the house to sleep.
He had to get up at two o'clock in the morning to supervise the workers in loading the goods onto the ship. After loading, he had to transport the goods to the city immediately. It was already morning when he arrived in the city, and then he had to be busy unloading the goods.
In the evening, he had already called his father-in-law in advance and asked him to arrange people and tractors to go to the dock to wait for the goods at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
He also needs to rest early and get enough rest now.
Ye Xiaoxi gave it to the old lady to read at night, and no one disturbed him, so he fell asleep especially well.
When he woke up from a nap, he heard his wife coming back to the room. He felt refreshed and full of energy. He felt refreshed when he got up in the middle of the night.
When he went to the workshop, the workers were already moving the goods. They had moved them out and were waiting for him to come. They then pulled the tractor-loaded goods to the dock and loaded them onto the ship.
With so many people, it took more than an hour for everyone to load all the goods onto the ship.
Ye Yaodong only took half of the people on board and asked the others to go home and rest.
After we dock, there will be people to pick us up and there will be manpower, so taking a dozen people with us will be enough.
After he finished everything, he went to Director Chen's house to wait as it was almost time to get off work. When he arrived, no one had gotten off work yet, so he sat at the door and chatted with his neighbors.
Everyone said they hadn't seen him for a long time and shared some melon seeds with him. He smiled and said he had gone to Zhejiang Province to make money in the past few months and was not at home, so he didn't come over often.
He didn't have to wait long before Director Chen and his wife arrived home one after another, and he went into the house and sat down.
Director Chen has to wait until after work in the afternoon before he can leave. Tomorrow happens to be Saturday, so he has a day off and does not need to go to work.
So he had lunch, chatted for a while, and then went back to the workshop.
Taking advantage of the time at noon, he checked the accounts of the workshop and also took the turnover from his father-in-law.
When Director Chen and his wife got off work in the evening, he would take a younger brother, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law and drive a tractor to pick them up. After picking them up, they would go to the dock and then let his younger brother drive the tractor back.
He used a car for the entire journey, which saved him from having to walk.
The workers who originally came with him were also very happy. After unloading the goods at noon, they could go around the city and wait for him on the boat at the dock before 5 o'clock.
Although they did a little more work than those who stayed at home, they could go to the city to play for half a day, while others could not.
After Ye Yaodong picked up his father-in-law and his wife and Director Chen and his wife on board, he asked the workers to greet them, show them around, explain the machines on the boat to satisfy their curiosity, and then he went to drive the boat first.
It was already dark by then, and by the time we got home it was already night. The whole village was so quiet there was no sound except for the barking of dogs.
Lin Xiuqing had already cleaned up the room upstairs and laid out clean bedding.
It was the middle of the night and any noise would be magnified infinitely. As soon as she heard the noise, she quickly got up and went to the door to greet someone.
She knew that people would arrive at night, so she lay down with her clothes on and did not dare to sleep, for fear that she would fall asleep. It would be very impolite if she did not get up to greet the elders.
"You're back? You must be tired after sitting on the boat for such a long time. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll make you some midnight snacks. Eat and then go to sleep."
"I've also cleaned the room upstairs and made the bed. The quilts were just dried today. I'll go upstairs to sleep after eating, saving me the trouble of climbing up and down the stairs."
Director Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. It's the middle of the night and you've been tossing and turning and haven't gotten a good night's sleep."
Jin Yuzhi also said: "Yes, thank you for your help. You don't have to cook any snacks. We are not hungry. No need to bother."
"It's not a big deal. It's what I should do. It's ok for me not to be at home, but if I'm at home I have to stay by your side and take care of you if you need me."
"Yeah, let Adong chat with you. I'll go cook some midnight snacks. It'll be quick." Lin Xiuqing also agreed and hurried to make a fire.
She had already prepared the ingredients for the midnight snack in the evening, but the pot was cold and the stove was cold, so it took a long time to start the fire, so it cooked very quickly.
Ye Yaodong sat at the table and chatted with a few people, telling them what had happened in Zhoushan in the past few months and also mentioning that he had bought another piece of land.
I also discussed bank deposits with them. He was really impressed that the current interest rates are so high, so scary.
In the future, the annual interest rate will be only 1.5% for a three-year term. The state-owned banks will only have a little over 2%, and the rural credit cooperatives will only have 3%.
This interest rate is way off.
Jin Yuzhi was shocked to hear that he had developed so rapidly and had just renovated a piece of land and bought another piece of land.
Director Chen was better off. After all, expectations of him were high and they knew he was capable of doing something.
“Why do you buy land everywhere?”
"What else can I buy? Otherwise there is nothing good to buy, and no one is willing to sell their houses. I have dozens of ships, and the factories still have some that have not been delivered."
Director Chen was speechless.
Indeed, apart from buying land, he had nowhere else to spend his money...
"Then you should be careful. Don't show your money outside. You can buy land, but be careful not to let others occupy it. It's easy for outsiders to look bad when they buy land."
"I understand. Now everyone is traveling back and forth between the two places to make money. We have three to four hundred people alone, and there will be even more next year. With so many people, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Director Chen nodded, "It's good that I'm not fighting alone."
Ye Yaodong told him that he had set up a fish cannery in the town. After going to the county town to worship Mazu and attend the ceremony tomorrow, he would stay at his home for one night and would take him to see the fish cannery in the town the day after tomorrow.
My father-in-law was shocked by the number of Easter eggs he kept releasing.
"You also have a fish canning factory! How many factories do you have?"
"Haha, that's all. This was just done in the first half of this year. It took a whole year to complete, and it was not finalized until the middle of the year. It's too late today, and I'm busy tomorrow. I'll take you for a walk the day after tomorrow, and then send you to the city."
Director Chen also responded, "Great! This fish canning factory is great. If the canned food is good, we can provide it to the troops. This is very convenient. Sometimes when we are training for disaster relief or something, we need this kind of convenient food to carry with us."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "I thought so too. I'm thinking about asking the logistics department the next time I deliver dried fish to the troops."
"Yes, you have your own way and supply troops. I also said I would ask for you."
"It would be best if a godfather could help. It would definitely be better than what I expected."
"Then I'll go and see you the day after tomorrow, and then I'll go back and ask you when you're leaving."
"I should stay at home for a few more days, right? But we also have to see whether the wind direction is suitable for long-distance travel. The weather forecast says that there may be a cold front in the next two days, and the wind and waves will be relatively strong, so we will definitely not be able to leave. If you have any news, call me at home at any time, I should be there. Even if I'm not here, Ah Qing will be there, so you can tell her if you have anything to say."
Lin Xiuqing followed up, "Yes, I'm here. If you have anything, just call home. Dongzi is not here, so I take care of all the things at home for him."
"Okay, I'll find the phone number when I get back and ask as soon as possible."
"The snacks are ready. Eat them first and we can talk while we eat."
Ye Yaodong saw the dim sum coming out of the pot and hurried forward to help serve it.
Lin Xiuqing cooked an extra bowl and asked Ye Yaodong to eat too.
"Your wife is really capable. When you are not at home, she keeps the house in order. You have so many businesses, so she has to take care of everything at home for you."
"Isn't it? He must have been very lucky in his previous life, doing good deeds every day, so I was able to marry her."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him in reproach, "Stop talking, you're making a fool of yourself."
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, Ah Dong is indeed blessed, his family is prosperous, his family is flourishing, his career is flourishing, and his fortune is flourishing, it's all good."
Ye Yaodong said something from the heart, "In fact, these prosperity are secondary. The most important thing is good health and a happy family. Those are icing on the cake. Otherwise, if you have those, but your body is broken and there is no one to share your happiness, then what is the point?"
"Yes, it's best that you think so. Nothing is more important than the health and happiness of your whole family. Aren't we men working so hard just to give our family a good life? It doesn't matter how hard we work."
"Yes."
Seeing that they had almost finished their midnight snack, Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "We'll have plenty of time to talk tomorrow. Go to bed early after dinner because we have to get up early tomorrow."
"We have to walk to the county town at 9 o'clock. At 7 o'clock, they will set out from the Tianhou Temple with gongs and drums. Walking is not faster than taking a car, and we have to parade through the streets. If we walk slowly, it will take about two hours."
"I'll follow your instructions."
"We'll get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow, have breakfast first, and then go for a stroll in the Tianhou Temple."
Ye Yaodong did not carry the sedan chair this time. They came back late and the village committee didn't know whether they could make it, so they had made arrangements in advance.
He just needs to follow the team tomorrow, or he can go to the city first, after all, he is bringing Director Chen and his wife with him.
If they arrive earlier, they will also have time to greet the county leaders.
After finishing their midnight snack, Lin Xiuqing cleared the dishes and the table, and Ye Yaodong led them upstairs to rest.
The two couples then turned off the lights and went into the house.
Lin Xiuqing informed the old lady in advance that guests would come at night, and told the old lady not to come out if there was nothing to do, so as to avoid being too nagging.
There were no elders to greet the younger ones, so when she heard the noise, she could just stay in the house and wait until they met again the next day.
If you don't tell me, the old lady will hear the noise and will be alert and get up to take a look, which is more useful than radar.
As soon as Ye Yaodong lay down, he said, "You have to call me before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"I know. Go to bed early. It's almost 12 o'clock."
"Well, are you sure you don't want to go?"
"I won't go. I have to look after my home. Tomorrow, people from the neighborhood will probably run to the county town. I'm worried. I have to stay at home and look after it."
"Well, A Yuan called this afternoon. He called your father in the city. He said that all veterans from Putian in their army were given three days off today, so that they could return home to visit their families during the Mazu Millennium Festival. The new recruits also had less training tasks today, so they could call home."
"Ah? There is such a good thing? Can I go back to my hometown to visit my relatives?"
"I don't know. I heard from your father that it's probably because the Mazu of Meizhou Island is too famous. Moreover, Zhou City is close to the sea, and there are too many fishermen from the coastal areas. In addition to Bodhisattvas, they also believe in Mazu, so they will pay attention and show some humanity."
"That's good. Our county has done something like this this year. I guess it will be even more lively over on Meizhou Island."
"Of course, that's where it all started, it's the dojo."
He had heard in his previous life that even Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan sent fishing boats to Meizhou Island for pilgrimage.
There are also many fishing boats from Southeast Asia that travel to the Mazu Temple in Meizhou, but he has only heard about it.
But even Taiwan has sent ships to Meizhou Island, which shows that Mazu culture has a long history and the belief is not limited by region.
I heard that this also broke the 38-year ice between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and opened the prelude to the renewed exchange of Mazu culture between the two sides.
Later, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan actively participated in various Mazu activities on Meizhou Island, including sacrificial ceremonies, "returning to the mother's home" three-offering ceremony held in ancestral halls and temples, and other folk cultural exchange activities, and each one was more grand than the last.
There was an event going on in their county, so he definitely couldn't go to Meizhou Island. He could only wait and see.
"Schools throughout the county are on holiday. You can bring your two sons with you tomorrow and let them go and see what's going on. They'll be with you anyway, so if you don't have time, let them take care of it."
"That's fine. Let them go with their parents tomorrow and have our tractor take them there. A motorcycle can't hold so many people anyway."
"My eldest and second sisters-in-law also told me last night that we will take our tractor tomorrow."
"Well, give them a truckload and send them all to the county. They can all fit anyway."
"Remember to bring your camera with you when you go to the county tomorrow. Take a few pictures and we can all see them when they are developed."
"Are you sure you don't want to go?"
"I'm worried. How much money and treasures do we have?"
"This still ties you up at home."
It's really inconvenient these days. When there is so much money and treasures, there is no place to put them, especially in rural areas like theirs.
It’s difficult to get a safe, but I don’t feel safe keeping all the things in the bank.
When you go out, your family has to let you go, otherwise they won’t feel at ease.
"I'm fine. It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not. Just come back and tell me. It will be the same."
"It's the same if I leave a few workers to help look after the house..."
"Forget it. We already said we have a holiday tomorrow. It's not easy to ask others to look after the house for us. I'll just stay and look after the house."
"alright."
She has been wronged.
But there is really nothing I can do. Everyone has left and I am really worried.
Ye Yaodong reached out and hugged her, holding her tighter in his arms.
"Hehe, I can't breathe. How can I sleep while being held like this..."
"You can sleep..."
I talked to my father on the phone for more than half an hour, persuading him to go to the hospital for a check-up. I felt so overwhelmed. The old man was too stubborn and said he was fine every day.
I kept persuading and scolding him for more than half an hour, and my mouth was dry from talking.
