After Ye Yaodong arranged all these things, he lay at home for a few days with peace of mind.

Until dinner, Mother Ye talked about the bursary and asked Ah Qing to prepare, and it was only more than thirty yuan.

From the first grade to junior high school, there are only about a dozen people who are forced to drop out of school with good grades, and there are more dropouts with poor grades, but this is not within the scope of their help.

In recent days, under the repeated persuasion of teachers, village cadres, and the Women's Federation, parents have not been able to save face.

Of course, for students, they can't do less work at home, but with the opportunity to re-learn, they will definitely work harder.

The vast majority of them are girls, and only a few of them have two or three boys whose families are really difficult and too burdened, such as the father who was killed, only the mother, and a group of brothers and sisters who are still weak, so they have to drop out of school and carry the burden of the family.

Mother Ye was also embarrassed when she talked about the families of children who dropped out of school.

I haven't touched it before, but since I swept the snow in front of the door, now, my consciousness is high, I have seen more, and the soft place in my heart has also been touched.

Either they are extremely patriarchal, or they lack a family, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Their children are the happiest, and everything is worry-free.

Ye Yaodong also felt that his move was too wise, reading can change his fate, this is not talking, this is true, especially in this era.

For children, reading is the easiest and best shortcut.

Lin Xiuqing nodded directly after hearing what Mother Ye said, and gave her the money after the meal.

As a result, within two days, two parents inquired about it one after another, and came directly to the door, bringing some vegetables produced in the field, as well as their own pickled local products, to thank them.

After all, if this funding is confirmed, as long as there is no change, the tuition fees for these children until graduation will be given by Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong's family is also very relieved, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and they don't ask people to thank them, just remember it.

A lot of times it's nice to get a thank you after helping someone.

To their surprise, they also met a boy who came to the door with two crucian carp to thank him.

"Uncle, don't you remember me? The year before last, my father was gone to the typhoon, and I robbed you of the blue crab on the beach, and you gave me the blue crab later. ”

Saying this, Ye Yaodong also remembered, isn't this the one where Ah Guang's first boat came from?

"Ah, it's you?"

"Hehe, my brother finished the fifth grade in the first half of the year, and on the first day of the second half of the year, he didn't plan to go to school, no matter what we said, it was useless, he wanted to stay at home to help my mother farm, so that I could go out to work and make money with peace of mind."

"It's a pity that we all have good grades, and the teacher has called him, but he just said he didn't want to go to school, so we gave up, but I didn't expect my uncle to help give tuition."

"In the past few days, the teachers and village committees have come to the door to say that my mother has been persuading him, and he is also willing to go back to study because he doesn't have to pay tuition anymore."

Ye Yaodong also understood now, it turned out that he was sponsoring his younger brother.

He accompanied a few words of greeting, listened to the child's repeated thanks, and sighed in his heart.

After sending people away, he said to Aqing: "Hey, children without a father or a mother are quite pitiful." ”

"That's not it, without my father, the family is equivalent to no pillars, and the sky is going to fall. The child without a mother is also bitter, no one cares, if there is another stepmother, it will be even worse. ”

"Fortunately, Ah Guang doesn't have a stepmother, and when his mother is gone, he is also older, otherwise it must be as pitiful as the little cabbage in the field."

"Actually, Uncle Pei is the same age as his father, and he is not old."

"Isn't that not much different from the widow next door?"

Lin Xiuqing choked on her throat with a mouthful of water and coughed wildly.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly patted her on the back, "You can still choke on drinking water, how old is it?" ”

Lin Xiuqing's tears came out, and she couldn't speak, so she could only stare at him.

It wasn't until he eased up that he slapped him twice.

"How can you talk like that? I'm talking about my father-in-law, but you're talking about the widow next door. ”

"Hehe, isn't that kid just gone? Then you mentioned that Uncle Pei is not very old, as if he wants to be a matchmaker for him, so didn't I think of the widow next door for the first time? ”

"Where do I have? How can my junior have that face to be a matchmaker for him, let alone his in-laws! ”

Lin Xiuqing glared at him fiercely, it was too insignificant.

"Then I didn't say anything, I just talked about the widow next door, and your reaction is so big, it means that you want to be crooked."

"I just admitted it and said."

"You don't admit it, why should I admit it?"

Lin Xiuqing slapped the person with the hard mouth of the dead duck twice, "It's good that I didn't hear it, otherwise I don't know what it would be." ”

Ye Yaodong pouted.

A widower, a widow, and two next-door neighbors, isn't that just right, quite a match?

Otherwise, who will take care of a big man when he gets old? In daily life, we must not always rely on our children, and if they are not around, they will not even have someone to talk to.

I don't know what Uncle Pei was like in my previous life, anyway, I haven't left in this life, so it's hard to say anything.

"Uncle Pei's family is shaking now, so rich, with a thick family background and such a big boat, there must be a lot of pretty widows who look down on him."

"Don't talk about it, where is it our turn to worry about this? Even that kid just now was quite caring, and he deliberately brought two crucian carp over. ”

"Let's cook crucian carp tofu soup at night and add some sauerkraut, I haven't eaten the crucian carp tofu soup you cooked for a long time."

"Don't you all hate the smell of the fish in this river? I used to cook it and no one ate it. ”

"You don't look at how you cooked it before, you are reluctant to put oil, you have to be willing to put more oil, fry it on both sides, and put more ginger and onion cooking wine, so that the earthy smell is a little lighter."

"You are so good at saying, why don't you do it?"

"Then I'll do it, don't cry when you do."

"Cut, you're used to opening your mouth, and you can also make crucian carp?"

Ye Yaodong passed the straw rope tied to the fish in her hand, "Wait for you to open your eyes, go and pick up some snails when you are idle, and Lao Tzu will fry you another fried snail in the evening." ”

"I'm very good at it."

Lin Xiuqing shook his head, but still took advantage of his free time to find a vice out, ready to clip the snail tail for him.

Those children are really, they make several buckets and come back, and they can't finish eating, they can't finish the ducks, and they run to the river every day to swim around, and where will they eat this when they come back.

"Tomorrow the house will start, don't run around, get up early."

"I know, I remember the days, and when I finish eating, I will go to my hometown to move the ladder over, and tie the nylon bag with my father and tie it to the beam."

Ye Yaodong doesn't want to move back to his hometown, it's too troublesome, not to mention that his babies are all here, he didn't look at it, where can he feel at ease? He wants to die on this realm.

So I thought about it again, and took a roll of nylon bag and tied it with a rope to the top of the head in the hall and every room, so that I was not afraid that I would not be able to live under my head because I was working on top of my head.

At least you can cook and sleep, and you don't have to worry about dust or debris falling off, anyway, there is a nylon bag stretched out there to cover it.

When they work during the day, they don't go into the house, they just watch from the yard, and when they don't work at night, they go into the house and sleep, it won't have much effect, and it will only be a month.

The nylon bag can also be opened to prevent rain there, saving a bunch of things at home and having to be moved, which is really the same as a big move.

In the past few days, he has also pulled all the dried fish at home to the city, and the workshop is still drying, which does not affect it at all, and it can still be temporarily stored in the small house in the workshop after drying.

Some of the wood, planks and other materials they ordered have also been sent over in the past few days, and they will be sent again in the future.

After the three families began to build a building together, most of the next days also left Ye's father at home, and the three brothers still went out to sea to fish separately, and every day they would deliberately leave some fish and shrimp back for the workers as vegetables.

In addition to the cost of rice grain, other basic self-production and self-sale are also quite economical.

The children at home were very happy to know that the family was going to build a building again, and they spontaneously helped move bricks every day without being told, and they didn't rush to school until it was almost time.

Ye Yaodong and the others also considered that it was inconvenient to build large stones up, and it was not safe to lift them up, so it was not so convenient, so they considered using red bricks directly on the second floor, and most of the buildings built in the village were also made of red bricks.

Ye Xiaoxi is a small person, she can't hold a big brick, she sits in the sand pile every day to play with the sand, and she usually goes to the beach to play, but now she can have fun.

Ye Yaodong also spoiled the child, secretly took the spatula to her to dig sand, and also took her an iron bowl, but the back was out of control, and she had a lot of fun every day, and the first time she opened her eyes was to find a spatula to find a bowl, and then rushed to the sand.

It's hard for Lin Xiuqing, she washes her head full of sand every day, and she can't be allowed to play in the back, so she just cries and lies on the ground and rolls into the sand.

Originally, I didn't have time to look at her all day long, so I could only scold Ye Yaodong, who was blindly teaching children, and then go with her.

Ye Yaodong kept sneezing at sea, he still thought that the reason for the cold weather was getting colder, now it was mid to late October, and the sea breeze was cold, and he didn't know until he was scolded when he got home.

Father and daughter looked at each other with small eyes at the dinner table.

When he pretended to be sad and made a grimace, Ye Xiaoxi laughed unceremoniously, sprayed all the rice grains on the table, and pointed at him with his index finger and laughed.

At this moment, Ye Yaodong was scolded again.

"There's no serious one all day, and I have to tease her when I eat, what if I choke on it?"

"Who made her look at me?"

"You didn't look at her, you know she looked at you?"

was finally caught by Lin Xiuqing and pulled back a game, but in the past, she was blocked and had nothing to say.

"Crooked!"

"Hurry up and eat, go to bed early, and go to sea at night."

"What time is it today? It's the 14th, isn't it? It's close to the time I drove my motorcycle. ”

"Yes, call and ask in two days, or you can ask in advance, if there is a repair in advance, drive back in advance."

"Wait, tell me to call in half a month, then I'll call again in half a month, it's not bad for these two days, I've been busy at home recently, and there is no big difference between two days earlier and two days late."

"Then you can do it yourself, you don't have to worry."

It wasn't until two days later, half a month later, that Ye Yaodong had time to call the village committee and ask if the motorcycle had been repaired.

It also lived up to his expectations, did not delay the progress, completed the repair as scheduled, and directly notified him to open it the next day.

Originally, it was repaired, and the two of them were arranged to come out for a day and a half, and the repair could probably be completed, and the delay for half a month was also because the factory was increasing production capacity and had no time to do this work.

He felt that he could finish the repair as expected, and there was no delay, and there may be the reason for Director Chen's previous phone call, so he repaired it on time, after all, it still bears the name of the official.

Anyway, whatever, it's all repaired and notified him to open it.

However, he was afraid that he would not be able to buy a train ticket temporarily, so he only said that he could only go over after buying a train ticket in the past two days, and the other party did not say anything, only that he could come and drive away at any time.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yaodong immediately called his father-in-law, asking him to close the store in advance in the afternoon and take the time to help him go to the train station to buy two train tickets to the province, preferably for these two days.

This year, when going far away, train tickets are not so easy to buy, long-distance all rely on trains, especially sleepers, most of them have to have units to buy many days in advance, or scalpers, anyway, he only needs to go to the province, and there is no problem with standing at one station.

After explaining to his father-in-law, he went home with a relaxed pace, because he deliberately wanted to call during the day, so he asked his father to go to sea at night, and he stayed at home to supervise the work.

Lin Xiuqing knew that the motorcycle had been repaired, and he was also very happy, and the big items at home were one after another, and the happy events were one after another.

First, there were seven more boats, then three more shops, and then two acres of land were bought to build a fish sauce workshop, and now the houses are being built again, and the motorcycles can be driven back immediately in the next two days.

There are also tractors, which also have to be booked in the factory!

Lin Xiuqing thought about the recent events and happy events, and the smile on her face couldn't stop.

"Do you want Uncle Zhou to drive you by tractor, or do you want to take the train yourself?"

"Take the train, the province should be flowery, I haven't taken the train yet, just go and experience it."

"Then let my dad go buy a train ticket, anyway, he happens to be in the city, tell him to go, ask how to buy it, it should be no problem."

"As soon as I hung up the phone, I called my dad by the way and asked him to close early in the afternoon to help me buy a train ticket, and see when the train ticket was later, and then I would prepare to take a train from the county."

Lin Xiuqing was a little stunned when he heard him say that he was going to take a car from the county to the city.

"Suddenly, I'm a little unaccustomed to being so economical, did you take the wrong medicine, or did you do something wrong?"

"No, isn't that thinking that you've spent too much money lately? The province should spend money, walk, take a car, and it seems that we have spent almost all of our money. Otherwise, there were disgusting people who came to the door a few days ago, and asked us to help his children's tuition. ”

"If you walk to the city now, no one will think we are poor."

"It's okay, I just thought if I wasn't in such a hurry, I would take the car by myself. I always call Uncle Zhou, also because I have to deliver goods to the city by the way, and now there is no need for a person, and the fare is also very expensive, and it has indeed been spending money recently. After the house is built and the workshop is built, it will cost a large sum, and it will not be long before the final payment of the ship will be paid. ”

The main thing is that the butt of the tractor hurts, and people are always thrown off the stool for dozens of kilometers along the way.

"If only you could think so."

"Of course, I've been thinking about this family for a long time."

"It's better to go to the province and call Uncle Zhou less, after all, we are going to buy a tractor, and there should be no money for him to earn in the future."

"It's not necessary to think so, we have been taking care of his business in the past, after buying a tractor, he is a pity at most, there are tractors, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make money?"

"Well, that's what I said."

Ye Yaodong didn't talk to her again, just looked up, the roof had been almost demolished, the middle was hollow, and the nylon bag pulled above also contained a lot of fallen broken tiles and mud and sand powder.

At this time, the workers were carrying a beam with a diameter of about 15 or 6 centimeters, tied with ropes, and they would have to lift both ends at the same time.

When hitting the floor, there must be a row of beams in the middle, which is all technical work, and he can't do it, so he can only watch from the bottom to help carry and lift.

The neighbors have not paid any attention to it since the beginning, except for the people who work, and they also stay in the yard with their own families to watch, oh, and there is a stream playing with sand leaves.

Ye Yaodong saw her digging a big hole in the sand, and then casually grabbed a dalmatian from among the dogs who were squatting there to watch her play, and kept patting its buttocks with a shovel, and kept barking in his mouth, "Sit and sit ......"

The other dogs who were squatting there to watch immediately dispersed, took a few steps back, and then walked to the side to avoid it.

The Dalmatian didn't move, and she picked up its two front feet, trying to drag it to the bunker, but she couldn't drag it again, and there were words in her mouth.

"Stupid...... Flower...... Walk... Walk ......"

The Dalmatian's head twisted from side to side and looked around, and when he saw that no one cared about it, he had to get up and look around obediently, and was forced to walk into the pit.

Ye Xiaoxi was extremely satisfied with its knowledge, and patted its dog head, "Good, good~ Sit... Sit ......"

The Dalmatian had no choice but to sit honestly in the pit.

She was so happy that she immediately took the spatula and kept digging and sprinkling it with sand, shovel after shovel, until she was so tired that she sat down on the ground and panting, and then she threw the shovel away.

However, when the Dalmatian is about to come out, she will stop and not let it come out.

Obviously it had already raised a dog's paw, but it could only continue to retract and squat, whimpering twice in its mouth.

Ye Yaodong shook his head when he looked at it, now that he said that he was not good, he was already tired of dogs, what should he do in the future?

He walked over, squatted down to the side and said to her, "How are you going to bury a dog that is so big?" You bury yourself, maybe it's a little simpler. ”

"Don't."

She looked around the yard for a moment, and then her eyes lit up, "Coo-coo......"

Cooing in his mouth, the man also walked on his short legs, ready to run towards the chicken in the corner.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly grabbed her collar, "Don't be mischievous, a dog and a chicken, the chicken is not scared, and it is not so obedient, I will chase you twice, there should be no eggs in the past two days, and you will have no eggs to eat." ”

"To play, to play~" She writhed and struggled from side to side.

He lifted her up and held her in his arms, "Let's go, I'll take you to catch crabs and dig shells, you can put crabs and shells in the sand and bury them to play, and the crabs will keep moving." ”

"Yes, yes."

Just continue to play in the sand in another place, and there are all kinds of different sea creatures on the beach, of course she thinks it's good.

Of course, Lin Xiuqing is out of sight, so it's better to take it away.

Anyway, I've already got a body, and I'm not afraid of getting dirty again, and she doesn't care if someone is watching, as long as she doesn't dangle in front of her eyes, otherwise she will want to be killed.

This little girl is naughty more than the two boys when they were children.

Ye Yaodong took her to the beach to play in the sand and catch small crabs, and at the same time, he also dug up a small half bucket of clams, and luckily caught two or three catties of sand silkworms for dinner at night, and by the way, he caught a small stone crab and broke off the big feet for her to play.

When others were young, their toys were all kinds of gadgets made by themselves, and her toys were shrimp and crabs except for dolls.

Ye Yaodong took her to play on the beach until she yawned, and then hugged her back and asked Aqing to take a bath for her, ready to take her back to her hometown for a nap.

Who knows, when she picked up and walked to the door of the house, she was already asleep on her shoulder, bathing her the whole time, and her eyes were not opened, and she was staggering softly.

It's too energetic to play, and it's too physically demanding.

Lin Xiuqing saw that the child was asleep, and she was also relieved, "Falling asleep, finally stopped, and the appearance of falling asleep is the cutest." ”

"Angels when you're asleep, and demons when you're awake?"

"Almost, when I'm awake, I don't stop, I'm very energetic, I don't stop moving all day long, I don't let her go out, I can play in the yard."

"You take her to your hometown to take a nap, I'll watch here, and wait for Dad's call in the afternoon to see if he will call early."

"That's fine, I'll come back when I'm going to cook some snacks later."

"It's okay, it's not that there are sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law, knowing that you have to watch the children, they will also take care of them more."

"Then we have to help."

"Isn't there me? Go ahead. ”

He is a big living person and strong laborer here, where does he need her to work.

Ye Yaodong looked at the pillar at his feet that was thicker than his thighs, and then took off his coat and carried it together only in a vest.

Now building a house really depends on manpower to move and lift, there is no shadow of machinery at all, and it is more comfortable to work at sea than to help build a house at home.

He waited for the phone as he worked, and it wasn't until dusk that the village committee came to call him to answer the phone.

The old man waited in line for an afternoon, and then bought him a ticket for 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow.

He nodded happily, but after hanging up the phone, he thought that if the ticket was for 8 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, then he would not be able to take the car to the city, and he still had to call Uncle Zhou, otherwise he could only go over the night in advance.

Where is there a comfortable home outside, after thinking about it, he can only raise his feet to Uncle Zhou and make an appointment with him to use the car in the early morning of the next morning.

Lin Xiuqing first heard that he was going to take a car to the county seat by himself, and then take a car to the city, he felt that he was a little abnormal and had taken the wrong medicine, but now he heard that he had made an appointment with a tractor, and then he felt that he was normal again.

He doesn't look like a money-saver.

At night, the couple lay in the open house, covered with a thick quilt, looking at the sky full of starlight, although they have slept like this for several nights, but every night looking at the starry sky, still feel strange.

Fortunately, the two boys have recently been sent to sleep in the old house, otherwise they would probably have to scream excitedly every night before they fall asleep.

For example, this time, there was constant scolding from the next door, and the children's excited talking was quieter.

A few nights ago, except for Ye Xiaoxi, the children of several of their families also slept in their hometown.

It's just that it's rare for so many people to be gathered together, and everyone is strangely noisy and doesn't sleep at night, Ye Mu thinks it's too noisy to stay together, so she rushed 3 back today and let them separate.

Ye Yaodong felt that after they watched the stars and slept all night at night, they would all go home tomorrow to watch the stars and sleep.

"Ah Qing, we don't seem to have seen the stars together."

"Who is so busy all day long, who has the leisure to look at the stars and the moon, and can't eat it as a meal."

"Now we can look at the stars together, and we can sleep while watching the stars." He hugged his daughter-in-law in his arms.

"It's still a little cold in the open air, so you have to cover the quilt and don't patronize and look at the stars. I also untied the nylon cloth, and there was a nylon cloth on the top of my head, which could also block the wind. ”

"If there is wind at night, if you don't untie it, when the wind blows, there will be mud and dust scattered everywhere in the house, so it is better to untie it. Anyway, it won't be difficult to tie it again tomorrow, it's nothing if it doesn't rain under the quilt, and it's not particularly cold in October now, so it's time to build the house for the winter before it cools down. ”

Ye Yaodong was talking, and his hands were a little nervous.

After building a house for a few days, they didn't do anything for a few days.

He is a strong young man in his twenties, he is strong in blood and energy, and his wife is not on the side, even if he is not on the side, he is lying on the side now, within reach, where can he bear it.

Lin Xiuqing also felt his gradually rising body temperature, and she moved in to keep her voice to a minimum.

"Don't make a fuss, there is no roof in the open air now, and the slightest movement can be heard next door. Listen, the next door is still muttering. ”

"How well do you think we usually have sound insulation? Isn't the sound of the big bed next door shaking all the time? Maybe they're just like us right now, debating whether to do it or not. ”

"Shhhh You keep your voice down..."

"You should tell me to be lighter."

"No, it's dead of night now, there's no roof, and everyone can hear it when you turn over."

"Isn't that more exciting... Hiss... Don't pinch...... If you are afraid of any movement, let's go to the earth, so that it will not be. ”

"Don't make a fuss, wait for the house to be built......"

"It will take a month for the house to be built, do you want me to hold it for a month? It's going to explode, what if it's suffocated?"

"But you will hear ......"

"It's good if you don't scream......"
