Chapter 49: The money is divided
"These are not mine, I brought sacks, these two bags are mine, and a small pile here. The others didn't have sacks with them, so they piled up on the boat, and now they all ran back to get the bags. ”
After explaining, Ye Yaodong handed the bamboo basket and bucket to his mother, "This is what I caught, you take it to Ah Cai and ask, whether the sea centipede is collected or not, there are still seven blue crabs in this bamboo basket......"
Ye Mu was stunned by his harvest, "So many blue crabs! There are so many things to catch on the island, and there are sea centipedes? This bucket is not light! ”
Looking at the sea centipede that kept wriggling in the bucket, she didn't feel disgusted, but very happy, her eyes were shining, this sea centipede was a good thing, there was no one on the beach at their door.
"No one is involved in the isolated island, there is everything dense on the reef, you look at these mussels, the sea melon seeds are all big, and other people have also caught a few blue crabs, and there are quite something. If it weren't for the fear that there would be too many of these shells to eat, I would have been able to dig up a little more and come back. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's too wasteful if you can't finish eating it and it's bad, I'll sell these for you." What else is not? Mother Ye happily held a bucket in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other, it was rare for the third son to be so reliable, she was happier than making money herself.
Ye Yaodong kicked the small pile at his feet, "There are still some that need to be picked, some snails are quite big and can be sold, and there are Buddha's hands." Mussels, those are worthless, forget it, right? Keep it for the workers who built the house. ”
"Okay, then I'll sell these first, and I'll take those shells back later and pick them first."
When the others brought sacks to load the goods, Ye's father's fishing boat also came in.
I heard that Mother Ye said that the third child had a very good harvest today, and also caught half a bucket of sea centipedes, seven blue crabs, sold more than a dozen yuan, and picked up two sacks of shellfish back, Ye's father was also a lot more pleasant, and the goods on the net today were not as much as yesterday, and they only sold a total of about 20 yuan.
The third child goes in the morning and can have so many harvests in the afternoon, which is already very good.
After the family helped transport the shellfish home, Ye's mother first picked out some mussels, and just used them to cook a pot of noodle soup to send to the workers as a snack.
As soon as Ye Yaodong got home, he poured most of the pot of tea, and then sat in the hall to rest, waiting for a while to eat.
Father Ye was shirtless, took his baby hookah and smoked a few puffs before asking Ye Yaodong, "Do others gain more?" ”
"Not as much as I am."
After a tired day, he didn't really want to talk, so he wanted to hurry up and eat and rest for a while.
"There will be no tide tomorrow, and when there is a tide on the fifteenth, see if you can rent another boat."
"The old lady sits on the ground and starts the price, it's not easy to rent, it's too expensive, let's talk about it then."
If you can't get the money back, isn't it a day in vain?
Father Ye nodded, "Then let's see when the time comes, after eating in a while, I will go to Ah Cai's house with your daughter-in-law, and take back the more than 1,000 yuan that we sold yesterday, and we will share as much as we want." ”
"Hmm."
Lin Xiuqing also knew that Ye Yaodong was back after Ye's mother sent her a snack, and took the money from Ye's mother to secretly stuff her, and she didn't care about eating snacks first and rushed home.
When she ran home, Ye Yaodong just finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Have you eaten a snack?" There is still some left in the mother's pot. ”
"Okay."
After Ye's father and Ye Yaohua were full, they went to the homestead, leaving only the couple to talk at home.
Lin Xiuqing asked while eating: "There were a lot of people around me just now, and my mother didn't say anything, but secretly stuffed a bunch of gross tickets for me, and whispered that you just sold the goods." ”
"Hmm......" Ye Yaodong told her about today's harvest, and pointed to the back door, indicating that there was still a pile of shellfish at the back door.
"After you finish eating, pick and choose, see if there is anything else to sell, and send it to Ah Cai in a while, and settle yesterday's account by the way."
Lin Xiuqing nodded with a smile in her eyebrows, there is nothing that makes her happier than her husband can make money.
Looking at the obvious change in his wife's attitude in the past few days, Ye Yaodong felt that it was worth being tired.
"My mother seems to have sold three little white chapters, otherwise she can stew wine for you to eat."
"What to eat, if you can sell it for money, you must sell it for money, recently my father trawled, there are a bunch of small fish and shrimp left, there is no shortage of food at home now, and you have dug so many shellfish, you can't eat them all."
How can that be the same?
She had bowel cancer in her last life, it must have something to do with diet, and he has always felt guilty in his heart, and when he comes back, he wants to let her eat as much as possible.
"Well, let's talk about it after we split up."
A large family lives together, they don't eat alone, and he didn't produce waste before, if he opened a small stove, the two sisters-in-law should have something to say.
Lin Xiuqing quickly ate the meal, brushed the dishes and chopsticks, and went to the backyard to pick and choose all the things she thought were worth some money.
Like a big snail, a pen holder, wild abalone, etc., she picked out a bucket and put it alone, leaving only the small ones that could not be sold at a price to eat by herself.
To be honest, when he digs, he always picks the big one, and there is not much left for her to pick it like this.
Fortunately, she doesn't like mussels and sea melon seeds, and she can keep two bags.
"Do you want to sell oysters?"
"Forget it? Such a big bag, I must ask my mother to help open it, you will definitely not be able to finish it tonight, let's do it together and keep it at home. ”
"Alright then!" Lin Xiuqing was a little regretful, such a big bag of juvenile shells could open several catties of oysters.
Ye Yaodong looked at her appearance as a fan of wealth and smiled, "Okay, bring yesterday's receipt, I'll call Ah Guang and them, and we'll go to Ah Cai to count the money together." ”
"Okay."
Coming out of Ah Cai's house with a large sum of money in his arms, Ye Yaodong looked at the sea not far away, this is the treasure house of the whole village.
I heard that his grandfather was not originally from this village, but begged all the way from Zhejiang Province because of famine, and then settled in the village and relied on the sea to eat.
This sea has nurtured too many people.
After retracting his gaze, he said happily: "Let's go, go to Ah Guang's house to share the spoils!" ”
1601 yuan 8 cents and 8 cents is a lot of money for people now, a worker's salary for two years, four people, deducting the rent and diesel costs, one person also has 397.
"My wife has calculated, about 397 per person, everyone counts their own money, counts the whole number and then looks at how many fractions are left, check it!"
Ye Yaodong put a bunch of gross tickets on the table and asked everyone to count them by themselves.
Lin Xiuqing had already put away the money they had sold separately and was not mixed in.
Everyone happily counted the money, and after receiving it in their arms, there was still 1 yuan 8 cents and 8 cents left on the table, Ye Yaodong asked with a smile: "There is more than 1 yuan, do you want to divide it or ......?"
"Don't divide it, right? It doesn't make sense for one person to divide a few cents, so take it to buy wine. ”
"That's right, take it to buy a bar, tired all day, let's celebrate in the evening, just a few nets during the day, and shellfish, and snacks are ready-made."
"Okay, okay."
"Call everyone else!"
"They're going to be envious again......"
