Ye Yaodong was very happy, this friend was not made in vain, and his brother-in-law was competent enough, too caring and reasonable, and he was very considerate in his heart.

A few boxes of goods were moved in three or two, and when it was over, he was ready to go back to the house to get the money.

"You wait for me, I'll get you a red envelope."

"You don't need to pack 200, just pack 88, 88 is better, this number is big enough."

"Then 188, you wait for me."

88 is indeed a large amount, but it is not bad for him, so let's look good on the face.

Ye Yaodong went home and replaced the money that had been prepared a long time ago, and while giving him the red envelope, he moved a box of goods at his feet.

"You also leave a box to take back to eat yourself, and if you want to send it to relatives and friends, you can watch it and send it, and you can't help but taste the things that have been salvaged."

"That's fine, then I'm not polite to you."

"Remind you, there are 5 caviar in this box, you remember to pick it out, the trademark of caviar is different from the trademark of canned fish, you will take it back and distinguish it later."

"Caviar?" Ah Guang's face was full of confusion, and he didn't understand what caviar was and what it had to do with canned fish?

Ye Yaodong also thought that the goods on the ship were salvaged and unpacked before, and the shipwrights on his ship knew that there were 5 caviars in a box of goods, which was not a secret, there was no need to hide it from him, and said that he would know about it, and let him pick it out separately, so as not to send it to the wrong person when he gave it away.

When he just came out of the house, he actually saw the box in the house that he had brought back and selected a few days ago, and he had a thought that he wanted to move out and take a few canned fish outside to make up for it.

Caviar won't give it to them, don't tell them.

But he hesitated for a moment and gave up, there was no need to do this, he was secretive, but he looked like a ghost.

Tell Ah Guang directly and let him pick out the caviar.

Anyway, no one in the countryside eats it, and no one thinks that this thing can really be sold for a sky-high price, and the boatmen on the ship only think that he brags, but everyone knows that there is a mixed thing in the box, so they still tell Ah Guang directly, let him pick it out, and be frank.

"I don't understand why there are five caviars mixed in a box, but when I unpacked the box before, I checked it and opened it to see it, so you should keep the caviar for yourself. It's not delicious, so if you don't get used to it, you can change it for canned fish. ”

"Such? Okay, then I got it, I'll go back and pick it out separately and take a look first. ”

Ah Guang didn't know what caviar was, but he responded first, anyway, the two families were not far away, and it didn't make a difference if he took it back and waited for a while to take it apart and eat it, and then give it back to him.

After the others left, Ye Yaodong moved a chair, sat in the yard, and with the help of the light from the house, he was ready to tidy up the goods on the wall, and secretly picked out the caviar and moved it to the house separately to store it.

As for the rest of the family, they had already gone to the workshop as soon as they finished eating, the children were in a hurry to make money, the old lady wanted to join in the fun, Ye's father and Ye's mother were not at ease to go to the workshop to help with the handle, and Aqing also had to go and see.

So he was the only one in the whole family, and he also closed the courtyard door and sorted it slowly.

It wasn't until the courtyard gate was opened and Ye Xiaoxi was brought back by Lin Xiuqing that the surrounding tranquility was broken.

"Help me get a basin of hot water and come into the house."

"What's wrong?"

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look, and saw that she stuck the child under her armpit, hurriedly lifted it into the house, and hurriedly stood up and followed.

When I followed up the house, I saw that the ground was wet all the way to the room, and Ye Xiaoxi's whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, wet, and even his hair was dripping.

"You're playing in the water again? Why is it that even my hair is wet? I'm going to be beaten to death, I just educated yesterday, and I played again. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi's feet landed, he slipped into his arms, wet to the touch, he didn't know where to touch her, none of them were dry, and her hair was dripping.

Lin Xiuqing was angry and helpless and said: "The brothers laughed at her for sleeping in the kennel yesterday, and then she chased after her brothers angrily, and a few of them were also bad, so they ran around the big basin where everyone washed the fish. ”

"Then your daughter circled around the fish washing basin, and when she was dizzy, she pounced, and the whole person fell into the washing basin, and drank several sips of the water to wash the fish before she was fished up."

"Huh? I'm going to beat them, these bastard boys, they don't do good things all day long, and they're embarrassed to laugh at others, I'll go and beat them with a whip later", Ye Yaodong scolded, "This is soaking wet, what should I do if I catch a cold, hurry up and give her a bath." ”

"You take off her clothes and pants first, take a blanket and pick it up, and I'll go get her a basin of hot water."

After Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she hurriedly ran out to fetch hot water.

Ye Yaodong also hurriedly undressed the child, "Is it cold?" Dad will help you beat your brothers later, okay? ”

Ye Xiaoxi's mouth opened wide, and he sneezed heavily before nodding, "Well, it's good, it's bad." ”

After stripping her of clothes, she hurriedly wrapped her in a blanket, and she didn't catch a cold when she slept in the kennel until midnight yesterday, so don't freeze and catch a cold today.

This child is also well raised, the body is great, half a head taller than children of the same age, I don't know that I think I am 4 years old, but I am only three years old after the actual year, and I am still more than a month away from the age of two.

Lin Xiuqing nagged to wash the child and get dressed, and then went back to work, but this time she told Ye Yaodong to take care of the child, so she didn't take it to the workshop, so as not to be optimistic about another one.

"You have to watch her and don't let her get into the kennel anymore."

"Got it, I'm awake this time."

After Ye Yaodong and the others left, he led Ye Xiaoxi to the yard again, he pointed to the kennel and asked her, "Do you remember drilling the kennel last night?" ”

Ye Xiaoxi retorted angrily and loudly, "No! ”

"We looked for you everywhere last night, only to find out that you slept in it."

"Nope!"

She had already been ridiculed just now, and she also knew that sleeping in a kennel was not good, but now she was mentioned again, and she was even more angry, and she also shook off Ye Yaodong's hand, and she retorted louder and more angrily.

"Not really! Not at all! ”

It's a pity that I didn't take pictures yesterday, but now I know that my mouth is hard, and when I grow up, it should be harder than the mouth of a dead duck.

"Okay, okay, no, no, you just stay in the yard and play with the dog, and Dad is still busy."

She nodded and was no longer angry.

Ye Yaodong was also worried that she would run out, so he locked the yard from the inside first, so that she could do whatever she wanted at home, as long as she didn't run out, he didn't have to keep staring at her.

The piles of boxes here, he didn't sort them so quickly, and after sorting, he had to continue to pile them back into the corner.

With so many goods, several boxes of caviar could be sorted out separately, and he also moved other goods and continued to fill the boxes.

When he was done, he stretched, slapped his back, and carried the caviar back to the house, and the box in the house, the unsatisfactory box of goods, was also moved out and put in the yard and piled together.

I don't know when Lin Ji will be able to return?

Shoot early, rest assured, but this guy has some dragons who can't see the end of the head, so he can only wait patiently to see if he will come back to sweep the tomb when he is clear?

The next morning, the sky was a little gloomy, the wind was a little cold, and the weather without the sun felt that the temperature was more than five degrees worse.

It has been decided to collect fresh boats in the county, Ye Yaodong asked Lin Xiuqing to take the money in the morning, and decisively went to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan.

The happy Director Wu couldn't close his mouth, and kept patting his chest to promise that he would not delay, and at least he would have a hand with the boat of the three brothers.

Moreover, he can also bring his eldest nephew to the factory to learn art on weekends, make an exception for his eldest nephew to come over as an apprentice in advance, and after graduation, he can officially enter the factory as a paid apprentice.

When Ye Yaodong came back at noon, he took advantage of the meal to go over and talk about it.

However, Ye Chenghai now has a lucrative job, and he doesn't want to go to the factory as an apprentice.

Father Ye had to force him to go.

"How rare is it for your third uncle to ask you for an apprenticeship in the factory, you don't cherish it, how many people want to go to the shipyard to learn a trade, they don't have the opportunity. Let me tell you, if you have a craft in your hands, you don't have to worry about it in your life, and you don't have to worry about running out of food one day. ”

"When you learn the craft of shipbuilding, everyone has to be polite to you, and everyone has to call you a master. Your father and mother and our whole family have a light on their faces, which is much more productive than your father, they have no way to go to sea to make a living, if there is a way, who will go to sea to adventure? ”

"You have to listen to what the adults say, it's all for your own good. If you can't read, you have to learn a craft, and if you are steady, you will be able to receive a salary in the future, which is better than going to sea to fight with your life, I don't know how many times. ”

Sister-in-law Ye also held the whip, crossed her hands on her waist and said to him: "If you dare not go, my legs will be broken for you, how can you use the three melons and two dates in the workshop?" Learning a craft is serious. ”

"What's more, you haven't finished your studies yet, as long as you go to the weekend for a day, you can still go to the workshop to work and earn money when you come back from school every day, and you won't be delayed."

Second sister-in-law Ye said angrily on the side: "Ah Hai doesn't want to go, don't force him, give Ah Jiang a good go, he is 14 anyway, and the two brothers are just a few months away...... If there are good things, you can't just think about Ah Hai, Ah Jiang is also older, and he can do a lot of work, and he has to learn a craft......"

The three are all close together, and if there is any trouble, where can they hide from the next door?

After the second sister-in-law heard the noisy movement, she had already come out to see the excitement, and she happened to hear everything, and she also felt depressed to death, and good things never happened to her family, all for the eldest grandson.

"Come one by one, what's the hurry?"

Father Ye glanced at her and then continued to say to Ye Chenghai: "This job is a job that many people can break their heads, and there is no way to give gifts." As long as you become this apprentice, you will not have to worry about food and drink after graduating from junior high school, and you will be a regular worker after a few years of study, master. ”

"Maybe in the future, you can be assigned a house, become a city person, eat commercial food, I don't know how profitable I am, and I can glorify my ancestors, you know?"

Sister-in-law Ye also heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was excited, "Yes, Ah Hai, as long as you go to be an apprentice now, then you will be a full-time worker after you learn well, that is an iron rice bowl, and you will be a city person who eats commercial grain in the future, where do you want to go on an adventure with your father on the sea in the wind and sun?" ”

Second sister-in-law Ye was jealous, "Ah Dong, can you go and ask for one more place, they are all nephews, the palms of the hands are meat, and the backs of the hands are also meat." You can't just hurt Ah Hai, Ah Jiang is also older, can you go and ask for one more place? ”

"Both are nephews, and the two of them are also what you watched grow up and play, you can't just think about Ah Hai, Ah Jiang is also older, let the two brothers go together?"

Ye Yaodong looked at them speechlessly.

"I opened the factory, am I in charge? If I really drove it, I have the final say, then the whole family will go. It's good to be able to give a place, it's not that I favor anyone, it must be ranked down according to the size, if I want to grow up as a son, it won't be Ah Hai's turn. ”

It's just an apprentice, and it's going to be infighting, and it's not fair?

His eldest brother and second brother shouldn't be so short of money now, right?

At least it is less than the top, and more than the bottom.

In the past two years, I have earned more than 10,000 yuan just from fishing jellyfish, as well as the flood season of squid, plus the intermittent fishing at sea all year round, deducting the scheduled boat, and the cost of building a house, there should be more than 10,000 yuan in my hand.

In the past two years, 10,000 yuan households have not been so rare, but they are not rotten streets.

It can only be said that there is no shortage but unevenness.

For regular workers in the city, the temptation to eat commercial grain is a bit greater.

Ye Chenghai listened to the adults next to him talking there, and Ye Er's sister-in-law still wanted to fight, but she also felt that it should be a good thing, and she shouldn't miss it, so she reluctantly responded to it.

Anyway, now I only need to go for a day on weekends, and when I am studying, I can still go to my third uncle to work and earn money after school every night.

"Alright then, I'll go."

Sister-in-law Ye was happy, and quickly put down the whip, "Okay, okay, you have to be obedient and serious in the future, and thank you third uncle, and when you become a city person in the future, you must also be filial to him." ”

He nodded hurriedly, "Definitely, I like the third uncle the most." ”

Second sister-in-law Ye continued unwillingly: "Then Ah Dong, now Ah Hai has a job as an apprentice, what other jobs and other good things will happen in the future, you have to think about our family Ah Jiang......"

"Got it."

Ye Yaodong answered perfunctorily and went home.

Lin Xiuqing is also a little sorry that her children are too young, and she also thinks that it is a great thing to be able to go to the factory in the city as a worker, although it is only an apprentice now, but after learning it, it must be the treatment of a regular worker.

How many people want to squeeze into the city to eat commercial food, but they don't have that opportunity, but they can still ask for one for Adong.

"I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future?"

"Don't think about it, the people in the city are not so good, and after a few years, the people in the city will not be able to eat commercial grain in the future. Originally, my father had been whispering in my ear that the shipyard work was good, and if he could, let Ah Hai also go in and learn a trade. ”

"It's a lot of chattering in my ear, so why don't I just take advantage of the situation and take a look? It also depends on whether he is interested or not, if he is not interested, then he should come back and follow his father to make the sea. ”

He was purely mentioning it at the time, and it was true that his father was talking too many times over there, otherwise, there was nothing bad about helping the family, and he didn't have to go into the factory to make screws.

Anyway, it depends on his personal interests first.

Ye Mu retorted, "What's so good about being at sea, it's bitter and tiring, and it's easy to die, how many people die at sea in a year?" Our older generation has no choice, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea. There is an opportunity to learn a craft, of course, to learn a craft, if you don't go, you have to fight him to climb. ”

Father Ye also agreed, "Yes, you have to carry him to death." ”

It's terrifying, and you have to carry it away when you're dead.

"Eat and eat, it's good that Ah Hai is willing to go, he can't read, and it's good if he can learn a craft." The old lady also happily beckoned them to eat first.

After dinner, Father Ye continued to be busy building the nylon canopy, in the morning he went to the town to buy materials, and called a few people to help build it, and he was not busy in the morning, and he had to continue to work in the afternoon.

Ye Yaodong didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so he also helped together, and it wasn't until dusk that the nylon canopy was erected.

There are small patches above the workshop, several squares are built, and they look very simple, but the current level of conditions is like this.

When he was done, he went to the dock to help collect the goods, and by the way, he also had to leave some goods home, ready to call his cousins to drink at night.

He had already asked his mother in advance, and several cousins in the family were not necessarily there during the day, some went out to work, but they were basically at home at night.

After leaving some seafood back, he asked Brother Ah Sheng to call his three brothers by the way, so that they could remember to go to his house to drink after dinner in the evening.

Ye Yaosheng was surprised, why did Dongzi suddenly want to call their brothers over to drink?

The others were also surprised, feeling that the sun was coming out in the west, and they actually called them to drink for no reason.

Except for meeting and saying hello on the road, Ye Yaodong has basically never been to their house, although they are cousins, but when they grow up, they have their own circle of friends, and everyone basically has no contacts, so they will invite them to drink?

Ye Yaofanna, he asked Ah Hai to shout, and he never walked over by himself.

Anyway, if he can make others call, he will let others call, so as not to walk over, his uncle and second uncle, aunt and aunt all pull him, chattering and talking, and let him help the family or something.

Ye Yaohong will have to stay in prison for more than 7 years before he can come out, and he now has 4 cousins left.

After dinner in the evening, the four of them came over together, and they were all speculating on the way if there was something good to call them, and they all asked Ye Yaosheng.

After all, Ye Yaosheng was relatively close to him, and he also rented his family's boat to work for him, seeing that under his pull, the original chaotic life was now getting more and more prosperous, and he married his daughter-in-law, and he had money in his hand, and other people were actually a little envious.

So much so that when they came over in the evening, everyone was very positive and excited, and maybe at dinner, in their respective families, the couple discussed and guessed whether there was anything good.

I guess I've thought about it for a while.

It's just that no one thought that it would be a matter of repairing tombs.

When Ye Yaodong beckoned them to sit down and drink and said the purpose, they all looked surprised.

"It's a tomb repair, not a charter boat?"

"What boat to rent? I don't have any extra boats to rent again. Ye Yaodong also looked at them with some amusement.

They looked back and forth at each other, one by one.

"So you called us over to talk about repairing grandpa's tomb?"

"That's right, your father is stubborn, he doesn't agree to repair the tomb, let his grandfather be exposed to the wind and rain on the mountain, how unfilial, it's not good to say it, you have to poke the backbone of others, whose family doesn't respond positively to repair the tomb?"

"We are still counting on the blessing of our ancestors, if we don't build a cemetery and give a place to shelter from the wind and rain, how can we ask our ancestors for their blessing? You have to scold us to death. ”

"When you are alive, you have never enjoyed a single day of happiness, and when you die, you don't have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, how miserable is it?"

"What I think is, is it because the eldest uncle and the second uncle have always disagreed with the construction of the tomb, so my lord is angry and didn't bless you, just bless our family?"

"It looks like it's been another year of Qingming, and in half a month, we have to go up the mountain to sweep the tomb and worship. I just want you to go home and do ideological work for the eldest and second uncles, persuade them, and let them agree to repair the tomb, so that when you go to the grave this year, you can still talk to your grandfather and pray for blessings. ”

"Otherwise, how can you have that face, please bless me?"

Everyone couldn't stop nodding their heads at what they said to him, and they felt that it made sense.

I want the blessing of my ancestors, but I don't even repair a tomb, who will bless you?

Ye Yaosheng was the first to respond, "Dongzi is right, I have to go back and persuade him, I have to repair the cemetery early and late to repair the tomb, and if I repair it early, I can also make a big deal earlier." ”

"But our father is old, he can't make money, he can't do any work, and he needs a lot of money to repair the tomb......" Someone looked at Ye Yaodong with his eyes.

Everyone understands the meaning of the words, this is to ask Ye Yaodong to pay.

Ye Yaosheng's family is a little more honest and has a better character, so he usually doesn't care much about the other two, look at what he said, he wants to take advantage of it.

"Everyone's grandfather, if you want me to pay alone, I can do it, but you first ask your father if he agrees."

Of course, he can pay for it, and his advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.

When the time comes, where to repair and how to repair, of course he has the final say, and it is the tomb he repairs, and there will be no one else's share in the future, and his grandfather will belong to him in the future.

When Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye are old, they have to wait for their son to repair their tombs, and the treatment after death should be similar to that of his grandfather.

It's up to them to be willing or not.

Ye Yaosheng immediately retorted, "That's not good, of course everyone's grandfather paid for the three rooms together and shared it evenly, but this is the tomb of our Ye family, not the third uncle's own family." ”

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Yes, so we repeatedly asked the eldest and second uncles to discuss the repair of the tomb, but they couldn't listen to anything. That's why I called you over today to discuss with you and ask you to do the ideological work of your fathers. ”

Father Ye didn't go to the workshop to help, but sat in front of the stove, smoking a hookah while listening, wanting to hear how their next generation discussed, the women were all going to work again, and this matter was not something that their women could mix.

He also said out loud: "When you go back later, tell them what Dongzi just said, do you want your ancestors to bless them?" If you really don't have any money, it's enough for you grandchildren to just make it up for them, otherwise what will your son do when he is born? Isn't it just the top thing at the critical time? ”

"Then we'll go back and talk about it later, persuade it, and see if they can listen to it."

"It's been delayed for several years, the ancestor's affairs are no trivial matter, you also persuade them to pay more attention, don't just talk about no money and no money, and the tomb has to be repaired if there is no money, otherwise it will be ugly to spread out." Father Ye said again.

"Okay, third uncle, let's try to persuade when we go back, if we don't have money, we will be grandchildren, and we have to make up what we should make."

"Well, that's right, if you Lao Tzu listened like you, this tomb would have been repaired two years earlier."

Ye Yaopeng saw that everyone listened to it and accepted it easily, so he also smiled and raised his glass to everyone, "Come on, come on, it's rare that our brothers all get together to drink today, and we will drink a few more drinks in the evening." ”

"Hehe, your three brothers have become more and more prosperous in the past two years, and they are getting more and more powerful, we also have to hug your thighs and stammer, hehe......"

"What are you talking about stammering and hugging your thighs, seeing outside, everyone is our own brothers, and we are no better than everyone, don't we all go to sea to work?" Ye Yaodong also smiled politely.

"It's the same to go to sea to work, this difference is big, you all have several boats, especially Dongzi, how can we compare, we can't catch up with the horses, and we have to count on you to pull it......"

"Yes, everyone is our own brothers, not outsiders, if there is anything that needs help, just call us more, we have no other ability, we have all the strength......"

"Dongzi is now a celebrity in our village, and everyone is counting on you to take care of your brother more......"

The matter of repairing the tomb was agreed, and everyone couldn't turn around and leave immediately, so they just sat down and talked for a while, so the painting style in the back immediately changed to compliment the three brothers Ye Yaodong.

The three of them were also drunk by everyone, and the atmosphere was lively.

Ye Yaofan has been sitting silently, occasionally laughing in agreement, saying very little, only acting as a foil with peace of mind.

Ye Yaodong saw it in his eyes, and he also smiled and greeted a piece of the piece after drinking two glasses, and then didn't care much.

He thinks that the problem on the second uncle's side should not be so big, Brother Ah Sheng and the others can help now, and they can contribute money and efforts, and the uncle's side is really hanging.

There is no money and no labor, a total of two sons, one is in prison, it is considered a waste, and the other is useless now, everyone is so lively, he is still silent.

In a few days, I have to ask his father to come to the door to ask, if I really don't agree, then I really have to carry the old lady up the mountain and cry.
