I don't know if I slept too early the night before, and the next morning, Ye Yaodong woke up as soon as it was dawn.

Recently, my schedule has been a bit chaotic, sleeping as soon as it gets dark, and waking up at two or three or three or four in the morning, which are all reasons for running back and forth.

That's just the hard work of going to sea.

Seeing that the mother and daughter beside him were still sleeping, Ye Yaodong got up lightly, but the creaking sound of the bed board woke Lin Xiuqing.

"Didn't you say you didn't go so early today? Why do you wake up so early. ”

"I woke up early when I went to bed, you continue to sleep a little longer, and I'll wake up mine."

Let's see when to buy a Simmons and come back, don't talk about running errands on this bed board, it squeaks when you turn over at night, and it is enduring, Ye Xiaoxi doesn't collapse when she jumps on it.

However, you also have to ask the carpenter to make a wooden bed, the height of the bed board of this bed is fixed there, and it is troublesome to adjust it, and then move to the son's room, so that the two children can have a bed for each child, otherwise they will sleep half of their bodies on the ground every day.

Maybe you can wait until the end of the year to build a two-story building, and then book a bed to buy Simmons.

When Ye Yaodong got out of bed and put on his shoes, his thoughts only turned.

Lin Xiuqing looked at the sky outside the window, which was only a little bright, and lay back obediently.

People get old and sleep less, every morning anyway, the old lady is the first to get up to cook porridge, feed the chickens and ducks, it doesn't make a difference if she can't get up.

When Ye Yaodong went out, he didn't see the old lady in the hall for the first time, but the fire in the stove was still burning there, and people didn't know where to go.

However, he heard the sound of knocking on something, and walked towards the source of the sound, only to see the old lady sitting on the doorstep with a hammer and striking a snail.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? Why did you get up so early? It's just dawning, don't sleep for a while? ”

"Why are you knocking on snails?"

"Feed the ducks, yesterday those children touched a bunch of snails one by one and came back, there was nothing to load, and they took their schoolbags to load these snails, and they couldn't just throw them away, and they picked out the meat to feed the ducks."

Ye Yaodong looked at the bucket on the side, which was full of snails, and the tentacles stretched out on the top of his head were adsorbed on the wall of the bucket, all of them were huge, and he could really only feed the ducks.

"One by one, I was full of panic, playing in the water is real, I was afraid that I would be beaten and scolded when I came back, so I touched a schoolbag of snails and came back."

"Hehe, I'm still beaten, go and touch it, is the schoolbag hanging on the bamboo pole dry?"

He obediently walked towards the two bamboo pole shelves erected there in the courtyard, and the army-green canvas bag was embroidered with a five-pointed star on it, and there were several words written on it to serve the people, which was the most trendy schoolbag at the moment.

"It's not dry, this cloth is too thick, it can't be dried overnight, and it can only dry in the sun for a day."

"Then let Chenghu go to school with a book today."

"You go in and light the fire, and I'll knock it here."

Ye Yaodong squatted down and took the hammer in the old lady's hand, the old lady held the cane with one hand and the waist with the other, slowly stood up, and quietly beat her back with her empty fist.

"I've been sitting for a long time, and my feet are numb, so I have to stand for a while."

"Isn't there a little stool next to it? Don't sit on a small stool? ”

"You have to bend over to sit on that, people can't stand it when they're old."

"Okay, there's no hurry to do this, just keep it for Ah Qing to do, why do you have to knock here early in the morning."

"Isn't that sitting there idle? It's good to have something to do. ”

Ye Yaodong grabbed a handful of snails, scattered them on the ground, picked up the hammer and snapped it into a pile, the meat knocked out was quite large, remove the shell, pick out the meat and throw it into the empty jar of malt milk essence next to it.

There doesn't seem to be much of it inside, and the thin layer at the bottom is not covered, and the old lady shouldn't have been working for a while, or maybe the old man is slow.

The old lady stood and spoke for a while, and then went into the house on crutches.

The porridge boiling in the pot should also be stirred with a spatula from time to time to avoid sticking to the pan.

By the way, she also fished out several salted duck eggs that were boiled with porridge and put them in a ladle filled with water.

Then he used chopsticks to make a tic-tac-toe shape and put it in the pot, continued to put the dried fish that had been prepared long ago and steamed it, and then walked to the door, leaning against the door and watching Ye Yaodong work.

"You don't want to knock it all out, just knock a little, and keep the rest to knock tomorrow, those ducks go to the beach every day to find fish and shrimp to eat, and they don't need to feed them."

"Got it."

I'll explain a few of them later, touch the size of a small fingernail today, and stir-fry spicy snails at night.

After eating too much seafood, you should also change the taste and eat some fresh water.

A few of the boys were happy to receive the order when they got up, and this time they took the order and were ordered to work, so that they could go into the water openly after school without being beaten.

"Third uncle, do you want crabs in the river? I saw a lot of big ones yesterday, all in the cracks in the rocks, a lot of them. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's as big as a fist, I feel fat, I caught one and came back to play, but my mother threw it away, saying that I couldn't eat anything in the sea, and I also caught the river, saying that I was too full, and I was beaten two more times."

"Yes, that's called hairy crab, you guys are out of school in the afternoon, and if you see anything, you will catch it for me, remember to bring a bucket to school at noon, it's easy to catch after school."

"Okay, third uncle, we'll grab a barrel for you in the afternoon and come back for wine."

Several of the children were very excited.

"Don't forget to beat the pigweed, otherwise you will have to peel the skin for your mother when you come back."

"I know, I know, let my sisters go to hunt pigweed, and we will go to the river to touch the screws and catch crabs."

"Third uncle, my father doesn't eat anything in the river, saying that it smells earthy, and only for the chickens, ducks and livestock at home, why do you want to eat the river?"

Ye Yaodong's backhand was a slap on Ye Chenghe's head.

Even if this kid is stupid, he can't speak!

"Shut up if you can't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person!"

"Oh......"

"Why don't you go home for dinner?"

"Oh."

Ye Yaodong sat at the door, sitting or squatting around a bunch of dogs at his feet.

Today the sky is a little gray, there is no light on the horizon, probably cloudy, cool in the morning and evening, and there is a little autumn atmosphere.

It's already October, and there will probably be no typhoons, this year is a safe year, there are no major typhoons, at most only small typhoons sweep by.

In his mind, it seemed that there would be a big typhoon next year, and he couldn't remember the specific month.

I only remember that there was a strong typhoon in 85, which had a great impact on the surrounding area, and many fishing boats were lost in the village.

Just as he was thinking, the old lady also called him back to the house for dinner, and the whole family had already risen.

He had no choice but to put the thought behind him, it was next year anyway.

After dinner, there was still half an hour before the departure time, but he saw that the whole family was already waiting at the gate of his courtyard, thinking that there was nothing to do, so he left in advance, and sent Ye Chenghai over to call Uncle Zhou.

I went to the workshop to explain the twins in shifts, and helped watch the family more.

The neighbors on the left and right also made a lot of money because they followed them to catch jellyfish, and now they are extremely enthusiastic when they see their family, and the relationship is not bad, but now they are closer.

Feeding the chickens and ducks at the door early in the morning, they were also curious to see that their whole family was dressed so well, and they all stood at the door, and they all came over curiously to ask.

"Are you going to visit relatives somewhere? The whole family looks so good. ”

"When did Aqing buy this skirt, it's weird and beautiful, I haven't seen you wear it out......"

"You're going out early in the morning, huh? Is it a good day? ”

"When did you buy this brooch for Auntie, the big red flowers are shiny and so beautiful, you all have to go out together?"

Lin Xiuqing was also a little embarrassed to be named, she had not been embarrassed to wear the skirt that Ye Yaodong bought for her a few months ago, and she had just worn it at his strong request.

It is said that it will not be worn this year, and the color will fall off next year, and the new clothes have not been put on yet, and they will become old clothes all of a sudden.

has been praised by the concubine just now, and now she is being watched again.

Ye Mu was very happy when she was praised, "This is what Dongzi brought back to me from the provincial capital yesterday, and we can't buy it here, so it's only available in the province." ”

"We're going to go to the city for a walk, it's just idle and it's okay, the three brothers have been in the city for so long, and we haven't been to see it, so we'll take time to go there together today."

Sister-in-law Ye said with a smile: "Their men are going to run errands, and we women are idle at home anyway, so let's go and have a look, and take a stroll by the way to see what the city thinks, whether it is as lively as our market here." ”

Everyone couldn't help but show envy.

"To the city? I also went with my family, so cool, I thought there was something happy in your family, and I wanted the whole family to go out to visit relatives together. ”

"I haven't been to the county seat, so you're going to the city? Ouch, your family is still powerful and blessed, and the whole family has to go to the city to play together. ”

"Come back and tell us what the city looks like, if you can't go, you can listen to it......"

Second sister-in-law Ye also smiled, "Hehe, when we come back, I'll tell you, why hasn't this tractor come here for a long time?" ”

"This tractor is almost your family's, and the whole village is your family's work, so it's better to buy one yourself."

"Yes, if you want to ask a tractor to pull goods to the city in the past three days, it is better to buy one yourself, which can be used for decades and save a lot of money."

"That's it, like this one in the village, it's only three or four thousand yuan now, right?"

"Look at the horsepower, the one in the village is 12 yards, and the 25 horsepower one costs 6,000." Ye Yaodong couldn't help but say something.

Lin Xiuqing said in surprise: "How do you know? ”

Belch... I forgot to tell her last night, just thinking about keeping my private money.

But it doesn't matter, I'll talk to her when I come back in the evening.

"When I went to the province, I passed by the tractor factory, and when I got off the bus, I asked about it, so I knew a little, but I didn't have a chance to go in."

"Oh."

"The child is also being brought?" The neighbor's sister-in-law looked at a group of children on the side and asked.

"What are you bringing with you? They also have to go to school, and they don't have to take them and watch them, and if they get lost, they have nowhere to look for them. ”

"Wait for them to go to school by themselves, people who are so big, where do they need people to watch."

"Hey, here, here, I heard the voice......"

Everyone was instantly shocked.

The children also craned their necks, and when all the adults got into the car and left, they immediately jumped three feet high and cheered excitedly.

Without adults watching, they are equivalent to liberation, no one cares, and they can do whatever they want all day today.

The old lady held a cane in her hand and struck Ye Chenghai, who screamed the loudest.

"Be good, your father and mother are not at home, you have to go to school honestly, and come back to eat obediently at noon, otherwise I will have no place to find you." If you don't behave, come back and tell your mother, and then you will be beaten again. ”

"Hehe, we must be honest and well-behaved."

"Let's go home and find a toy ......"

"And ice skates, I don't know where my mother is hiding......"

"They can't get into that house......"

"Look for ...... first"

A few people ran away as they talked, and they dispersed in a hurry.

Lin Xiuqing took Ye Xiaoxi with him to the car, and waited until Ah Guang's door to carry her down, and then accompanied Ah Guang's daughter.

Fortunately, Ah Guang and the others also knew that they were going to the city today, and they were all tired last night and rested early, and they were ready to get up early this morning, and they could walk with their feet up.

Ye Xiaoxi had playmates of the same age to play with, and he was also attracted to attention, and the two little dolls were also tricked into the house, coaxed to eat things, and didn't look for adults.

Father Lin in the city received the news two days ago, so he made an appointment with someone in advance.

As soon as they arrived at the store, Lin Mu led a large group of people to Lin Xianghui's breakfast shop.

At this time, it was close to noon, and there was no one at the breakfast shop, and the couple were packing up their things and preparing to cook lunch, when a large group of people came, and they all ate together.

The two couples opened a breakfast shop, which was also convenient for Lin's father and Lin's mother, and the problem of eating was solved, and there was no need for the two of them to cook, which saved a lot of trouble.

Sister-in-law Ye saw her own shop for the first time, and looked left and right curiously.

"Is your breakfast shop doing well? Why don't you look at anyone? It seems that there are not so many people around? ”

Sister-in-law Lin said with a smile while busy working: "It's noon, we do breakfast business, where are the people from at noon, and this market is a morning market, there are the most people in the early morning, of course there is no one at noon, we have to close the stall." ”

Lin Xianghui also said: "Recently, I seem to have heard that the market is going to be changed, and it will open at 9:10 o'clock at night and close at 12 o'clock at noon. ”

"Anyway, what time the door opens doesn't matter to you, and you also make breakfast."

"yes, so we didn't bother to ask."

Mother Lin greeted everyone with a smile, "Come on, come on, come in and sit, the rice has been cooked in advance, and two big pots have been cooked, and I don't know if it's enough to eat, and there will be enough steamed buns to eat." ”

"It's too polite, we have to trouble you when we come here with a large group of people......" Ye Mu was also polite.

"If there is any trouble or not, they are all your own people, and it is rare for your whole family to come to the city to take a look, and you will see outside if you don't eat here. After eating, I'll take a good look around here, I haven't been here yet......"

"Okay, okay, we can eat anything, don't bother too much......"

The two families came and went politely, walked inside, sat down separately, and chatted about the situation of a nearby market.

Sister-in-law Lin came out with a basin of sea bass soup, a bowl of braised pork, a pot of potatoes, and a pot of eggplant.

"It's not so convenient if you're not at home, and the dishes aren't so diverse, so you will eat it, and you'll be entertained when you go back to your hometown next time."

"It's already very good, there are fish, meat and vegetables, and they are all the size of a big pot, it's good enough, you are all so busy, and I have to trouble you ......"

Everyone politely said a lot of politely, and then moved the chopsticks.

During the meal, they began to chat again, Ye Yaodong and Father Ye were anxious to see the store, the two finished eating early, waited for Ah Guang and his son, and went out with Father Lin, leaving only the others to eat slowly.

After everyone had eaten and helped clean up, they first walked around the periphery, and then went to the market to take a leisurely stroll.

Ye Yaodong is also fast, although there are seven or eight people who have released the word to sell the store, but there are not many people coming over today.

Some people disappear when they talk and talk, and some people have temporary things and can't come because they are too far away, all for a reason.

There were only three people here, although I was very disappointed in my heart, and I couldn't buy much, but I thought about it later, and it was not bad to buy in batches, so as not to buy too much at one time, which was too conspicuous.

Father Lin just told people that his relatives wanted to buy it.

The coming day is long, and the first year of this year is not over yet.

Three stores, two at No. 3 and one at No. 4, Ye Yaodong wants it, there are only three in total, and he is not easy to choose, the location is a little worse, it is better to use it as a warehouse to release the goods first.

When the fish sauce arrives after the year, it will also need a warehouse to store it, and the original warehouse will be full of dried fish alone.

The No. 4 mouth just wanted to get rid of it quickly, saying that it was bought for 3,000 yuan, and it was still 3,000 yuan, and the two people at the No. 3 mouth felt that their position was stronger than that of the No. 4 mouth, and they wanted to add two hundred.

Ye Yaodong refused to add, only said that the original price was as much as it was, and the location was not much better, half a catty and eight taels, and the surrounding area was all deserted, it would be good to let them get rid of it at the original price, and it was impossible to increase the price.

Originally, it was the same amount of money, but it was all up to luck.

The surroundings were deserted, and he wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, but he didn't bargain for it.

I didn't want to bargain, but I also thought that people who could buy a store should have loose money, and if the price is really lowered, it is estimated that people will put it in their hands first and then wait and see.

It's only been half a year, and it's lost one or two hundred when it changes hands, who wants to? Unless you are in a hurry to use money.

The two of them couldn't help it, so they agreed after thinking about it, thinking that anyway, how much money to buy, how much money to buy, how much money can be out, and they can recover the capital, and they don't have to worry about the problems of this store, no loss or profit.

In this way, Ye Yaodong won three more stores very smoothly.

However, he only said that he bought it for his relatives, and everyone didn't feel suspicious, after all, they were indeed a large group of people.

I found the marketing department to help draw up a contract, make a witness, and then went to the industrial and commercial bureau for the record, and then paid them the money for the store after the fact.

He deliberately brought 20,000 yuan over this trip, but he didn't think that there would be more than 10,000 left.

The original hope was only achieved by a third of the way, but he can continue to pay attention in the future, and things will not always develop as he wants.

Of the three shops, he hung one under the name of one of his two sons.

As for the daughter... The three of them are all surnamed Ye, and he feels that something is not appropriate, so the other No. 4 is hung under Ah Qing's name, and he will give it to Xiao Jiu in the future.

He has the common problem of all men, although he likes his daughters more than his sons, but his daughters always have to marry off, and can give her enough dowry, but not more than two sons.

The son will have to wait until he dies to have all his things, but the daughter can have what he gives in advance.

With him, he is all the confidence of Ye Xiaoxi.

After Ye Yaodong and the others left, they put away the contract and the filing form, and then talked to Father Lin with confidence.

"If the eldest brother wants to buy the store, you can buy it early, according to the current development of the wholesale market, the prospect will definitely not be bad, if you don't buy it now, the price will definitely rise in a few years, and it will rise more and more outrageously, and it is not easy to buy if you want to buy."

"If the eldest brother thinks that the location of the purchase is not good, he can put it there first, anyway, his store has been rented for a year, so he will do it in the original location first."

"When the surroundings slowly develop and become more and more lively, you can move it."

Father Lin frowned and thought, "Do you really think that even the price of a store with a bad location will increase in the future?" ”

"Definitely, the time around here is getting more and more lively, and the rent will definitely rise, and it is better to rent someone else's than to buy one yourself, so as to save the opportunity for others to sit on the ground and raise the price, I don't mean my eldest brother, I'm talking about the market situation. This shop will definitely not worry about renting in the future. ”

"I'll tell him later, I've mentioned it once before, but he wants to earn the money first...... first."

Ye Yaodong calculated, "Hmm...... It's been three months, he should also know how much he can earn every day, and the daily fluctuation should not be big, but now he is stable, and he is making money every day, so he can persuade him. ”

"It's just that he bought it and hollowed it out again, he will feel that he has worked in vain in the past few months, and he has to compensate his family, so he should think about it again."

"Then let him see for himself, or save up for a few more months, and talk about it when the year is over. I'm really in a hurry, and I'm not in a hurry for three months, and it won't be just two or three months before the world is turned upside down. ”

He also understands this feeling, he finally made a lot of money, and it didn't take long for him to be happy, but once he returned to the pre-liberation period, although he said that he had bought a house, he would feel distressed to death if he had empty money, and he would really feel that he had worked in vain for a few months.

If it was him, he would also think about waiting for a little more to save before thinking about it, so that even if he spent it, he would have the rest in his hand, and he wouldn't feel so distressed to look at it.

And I feel that I have money left in hand, and if I accumulate it again, it will be faster, and if it is empty, I will feel that the accumulation will be slow.

"Yes, talk to him later, if he has any concerns, he will wait until the next year or the year."

After Ye Yaodong took a big incident, his mind was also relaxed.

His eldest brother and second brother also came up after eating, accompanied and watched the whole process, but they didn't make a sound, just watched them come and go, and then set the store.

At this time, I heard him persuade his father-in-law to let his eldest brother buy one too, and Ye Yaohua was also very moved.

Dongzi bought three more at once, it shouldn't be wrong, right?

After Ye Yaodong finished talking to his father-in-law, he also looked at the two brothers, "If you have a loose hand, you can also buy another one and put it in your hand, after all, the two sons have to have enough points to not fight." ”

"The second brother has only one son, but who would think that there is less money to make a living? There won't be more money in your hands, anyway, if you don't have a small part, you can earn more actively. ”

"Earn more, spend more, earn less, spend less."

"Let's go back and think about it, think about it, after all, we just bought a boat." Ye Yaopeng said tangledly.

"How much is the deposit for the ship? I will only deliver next year, and I will only give money next year, so what are you worried about now, I have a lot of money in my hand, and I won't feel distressed to take a few thousand dollars out and use it. ”

"It's going to be distressing, how can it not be distressing? It's just that you won't feel distressed if you make too much. ”

Ye Yaodong shrugged, of course he was also distressed, and he directly spent almost 10,000 yuan today, but thinking that there was still a lot of leftovers, his heart didn't hurt so much.

"Then you go home and think about it slowly."

"We still want to build the house later, which will cost a lot of money. In a few days, I will have to prepare to order planks and pillars, and I will talk about it later, and see how much money is left after building the house, and I can't spend it all. ”

"We've decided that we're going to build more buildings, right?"

"Yes, you haven't been at home for the past two days, I discussed it with Ah Hua, and he said that you can say it before, and we think that when you are done, we will talk about it again and then decide."

Ye Yaohua also nodded, "Yes, I see that you have been very busy lately, and you are not at home, so I want to wait until you are done." ”

"Okay, I don't have an opinion, if you want to build it, of course you will cover it together, and the three of us will be side by side, so we must build it neatly together."

"Then let's go back to the wood, and the planks on the second floor must be made by the carpenter in advance, otherwise the three families may not want to finish the construction before the year."

"Big brother just look at the arrangement."

Father Lin said with emotion: "Your three brothers are getting better and better, and they have all built buildings, not to mention the only household in the village, but they can also be ranked in the village." ”

"My father-in-law laughed, Dongzi is really ranked in the village, we can't, there are quite a few buildings in the village, and this trip is not just for our family to make money."

"That's also very good, leave our country farming, when can we afford to build a building."

"Huh...... Don't you all come to the city now? It's always going to get better and better. ”

"Hehe, I think so."

Ye Yaodong pulled a bench and asked them to sit down and said.

"Those women don't know how long they've been shopping, and I don't have time to take care of them just now, and I don't know when they're going, do you want to go to them?"

"I don't know where they've gone, how can I find them?"

"Department stores, where else could they go? Definitely go to the department store first. ”

"Shall we go and see it too?"

"You guys, there's a rickshaw at the door, just a few cents, I'm going to stay here and watch."

With 10,000 dollars on him, where does he dare to wander around.
