Chapter 193: The Sewing Machine

When Lin Xiuqing heard this, she lowered her head, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

The hand that grabbed her, the palm of his hand was already full of calluses, he had never done heavy work, he had been building a house and going to sea in the past few months, and he had blisters on his hands, and he was just sitting in front of the window with a needle and silently picking it up.

His hands were rougher than hers, and once upon a time his hands were smoother than hers.

Ye Yaodong saw her bow her head and was silent, and he knew that she was used to being thrifty, and she couldn't spend money lavishly all at once.

However, life must be improved, I can't make money, the family is still there to work hard, although the family's current savings are not much, but it is no problem to ensure daily needs.

"I'm going to work hard to earn money to support my family, we don't have to eat much or dress decently, but we need to be well fed and clothed, right?"

Lin Xiuqing replied softly.

She will add things that should be added, she just likes to take her time, it feels heartbreaking to spend a lot of money at once, and she doesn't get rich overnight, and his money is all hard-earned.

Ye Yaodong pressed the back of her head, asked her to lean on his shoulder, and said emphatically again, "I'm not a waste, don't worry."

"Hmm."

"Make yourself two sets of cotton clothes and pants, make them looser, and when the belly is bigger, you can also cover it, do it in advance, so as not to have no clothes to wear, and you don't want anything to happen to the child in your belly, right?"

Yes, her belly needs to be covered.

She nodded heavily, "I can't do it all at once, I'll finish what I have first, and then I'll go buy fabric cotton."

"Well, how many meters does a set of cotton clothes and pants cost?"

"The old lady is short, three meters is enough, if I make it looser, if I am bigger, it is estimated that it will be 3.5-6 meters."

"Well, I know, let's cook lunch first, and I'll get busy later."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong watched her go to the back door to pick vegetables, hesitated, and walked out.

Lin Xiuqing thought that he didn't care when he went out, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and killing fish......

After nightfall, the whole family went to bed, and suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Ye Yaodong immediately sat up with a carp.

"I'll open the door."

"Who? Knocking on the door so late?"

Ye Yaodong said as he got dressed, "I'll go and see first."

I didn't come to the door during the day, but I didn't expect it to be delivered at night, and the efficiency was quite fast.

When he opened the gate, he saw Lin Jishang smoking there with his back to the gate, and there was a cart parked at the door, and there were still things he wanted on it.

Lin Jishang heard the movement behind him, turned around, snuffed out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, and threw it aside, "Went to bed so early?"

"Not yet, it's just dark, nothing to do, lie down early."

Lin Ji hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a clear face: "I understand, I understand!"

Yip Yiu-tung: "......"

understands wool, he still goes to sea at night, and his wife's belly is not even three months old.

Lin Jishang then said, "Let's come and carry it together, I'm afraid that it will be too eye-catching during the day, so I sent it over when it was dark."

The two had a good exchange during the day, and they were also familiar with each other, and they could talk harmlessly.

….

As soon as Lin Xiuqing came out of the house, she saw the two of them carrying something in, and she asked curiously, "What is it?"

"The sewing machine your husband bought for you, Yan brand."

"What?!"

Lin Xiuqing stared at Ye Yaodong, "When did you buy it?" Why didn't you say a word?"

"I'll talk about it later, give the money to settle the bill first", Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Jishang again after speaking, "How much is this?"

"The supply and marketing cooperatives are 150, the market price is 130, you can take 110, there are two pieces of red and yellow cloth on the board car, 5 catties of cotton, you can give 15 yuan casually."

"What's so embarrassing?"

daytime

The cotton he bought was 2 yuan 8 a catty, and he didn't hear the price of the flower cloth, but he heard the navy green cotton cloth, and it cost 3 cents and 6 cents for a foot, and the flower cloth was more expensive.

"It doesn't matter, make a friend, anyway, it's shipping every day, so it's not bad for you."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Seeing that this guy has been busy working at the dock for three days and two nights, he has definitely made no less money, but he knows that this year he has smuggled huge profits, and he has traded silver dollars to buy goods, and individual profits can earn half or even 6%.

These smugglers traded silver dollars for goods to smuggling ships on Haiwan Bay and Hong Kong Island. 1 silver dollar is exchanged for 22 yuan, plus a fee of 26 yuan.

Those smuggling ships carried as little as one or two thousand silver yuan, and as many as seven or eight thousand, and the ships with a small value were thirty or forty thousand yuan, and the most were several hundred thousand yuan.

Lin Jishang is also a small leader, and he must have made a lot of money.

As a poverty alleviation, he also admits this feeling, and will see what good goods can be caught at sea later, and send him a little bit to him, there are comings and goings.

The things had already been delivered to the door, and Lin Xiuqing couldn't slap him in the face at this time and tell him to go back, so he had to go back to the house depressed to get the money.

The two pieces of flower cloth and cotton were also brought in, and Lin Jishang collected the money and left.

Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Yaodong, "When did you buy it?" Why didn't you say a word? How can you say you bought such a big thing?"

"Who made you reluctant to buy even a few pieces of cloth and a few catties of cotton? Then I have to go on my own, and give you a medicine to treat you, not to mention that it is not convenient to have a sewing machine at home, and I always have the cheekiness to go to other people's houses to borrow it, once or twice It's okay, I have to make so many cotton clothes, how embarrassing, not afraid of making people suspicious?"

The family really needs to be added, and he doesn't want his wife to look at people's faces.

"That's... Then you'll have to discuss it with me."

"I went out today, and it cost almost 70 yuan, right? Tell you to buy a sewing machine, are you willing to do it?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't refute it, if she told her, she would definitely say slowly.

Ye Yaodong saw that she was silent again, so he had to step forward and hug and coax, "It's only in his early 100s, which is much cheaper than outside, and the money earned yesterday just happened to be offset." There is a sewing machine at home, which is convenient for you to use, and when the child in your belly is about to be born, don't you also have to make small clothes in advance? Can you still go to someone else's house with your stomach up?"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and pinched him fiercely, "Don't do this next time!" You have to tell me about spending a lot of money."

"Hiss~Oh~OK~Light, waist is very important."

Her face froze, she gave him a blank look, pushed away his arms and went to unpack the sewing machine.

….

Ye Yaodong was also a little proud when he saw her energetic appearance, he knew that she would like it, and complaining was just lip service.

A woman is a woman, and her heart is different!

Say no, but you want it!

Sometimes, you have to listen the other way around......

Ye Yaodong also joined in to help her dismantle, looking at the brand-new sewing machine in front of her completely exposed to the vision of the two, Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up, and her hands stroked back and forth.

In fact, she has always wanted a sewing machine, but she had no conditions before, and she finally saved some money in the past few months, and she couldn't make up her mind, and then bought a boat, spending a lot of money, and she was even more reluctant.

Ye Yaodong can be regarded as a mistake and decided for her.

"Do you like it?"

Lin Xiuqing glared at him with a smile in her eyebrows, could she still not know that he was offering treasures?

"Give it a try?"

"Hmm."

She happily went back to the house to take the fabric that had been cut in the afternoon and came out for testing, but she didn't want to go in and out to wake up the two children who had just slept, Ye Yaodong had to go in first to coax the children.

When the child was put to sleep, he was also a little drowsy, and he did not get up at the thought of going to sea at night.

Half-asleep and half-awake, he felt that there was a person next to him, so he took it into his arms and rubbed it roundly, and said in a daze, "Have you played?"

"Sewn a sleeve."

"Isn't it an award?

Inspire me?"

He originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect Lin Xiuqing to really take the initiative to kiss his lips, and now he was energetic, and he was awake in an instant, reversed his body and pressed down, and was stopped as soon as he touched his lips.

"Don't make a fuss, you're going to sea at night."

Alas, he's still in his 20s......

"Sleep, don't think about it!"

"Okay."

After pecking hard, he turned over and lay back in his position, holding the warm nephrite in his arms, but his hand was grabbed to prevent him from moving.

He also fell asleep like this.

He got up on time at half past two in the morning, and Lin Xiu got up one step ahead of him in the morning to cook the meal, and packed the lunch box for him.

He put on his headlamp and pushed the cart to the dock, where Father Ye was already waiting, and chatting with Ah Guang's father.

"That's good, that's good, I'll leave some seafood back tomorrow, go to your place for a good drink or two, and let's talk......

Ye Yaodong heard this sentence as soon as he approached, when did his father get so good with Ah Guang's father, and he could still sit and drink together?

"Dad, Uncle Pei."

"Dongzi is here, I heard that you are very good at longlining, so let's try it another day."

"Okay, you can try a few hundred of them, but it's more bait."

"This doesn't matter, in the trawl, there are many small fish and shrimp, so keep a little in advance."

At this time, Ah Guang also bought diesel and walked over, "Oh? It's rare to run into you."

"You'll probably run into me more often in the future."

After saying hello to each other, they took the first step, and Ye Yaodong also hurried to take the bait stored in Ah Cai's place first, and then added oil.

After getting on the boat, he asked his father, "Dad, when did you have such a good relationship with Uncle Pei?" We're going to have a drink together."

….

"Ah Guang carried your banner at both ends for three days, either sending plantains or wine, or sending some fish and dry goods that we don't have, and came to show his face every day with different tricks, and your mother and I also know it."

"So you agree?"

"Let's have two glasses of wine with his father in the evening and have a chat, they don't have a woman in their family to talk to, so my father can only come to talk to me."

"Then you have to ask the little sister what she means."

"Do you want to say this?"

"And what did she say?"

"You ask your mother, I'm a father, not a mother, how can I ask? Anyway, your mother was very unhappy before, saying that there is no woman in his family who can take care of the housework, and your little sister will be very tired if she marries in the past, and she will have no one to help take care of the children in the future, and she will marry 2 sisters-in-law or something...... Women are troublesome, think so much......"

"Mother doesn't seem to be wrong."

"Isn't it good to be able to be the master of the house right away after marrying? What do you want your mother-in-law to do? Wouldn't it be nice to let your mother come to the door to help? In the future, if there is no one to help bring the child, let your little sister send it back and let her take it? A few steps away, this also has to worry about, the character can be fine, think so much.........

"You've arranged a job for my mother, so what can I say?"

"So tomorrow let's see what his father says, take a charter out, and then we'll ask your little sister's opinion."

Ye Yaodong pouted, his father looked at it and had no opinion, cheap Ah Guang's stinky boy.
