The conversation outside the house was in full swing, and there was also chatter inside the house, basically Ye Xiaoxi was complaining about Pei Yu.

"Bad sister ~ bad sister ~ I don't play with you anymore, I don't sleep with you anymore ~ I hate you ~ "

Pei Yu opened her big clear eyes, sat on the edge of the bed and shook her legs, looking at her scolding with tears in her eyes, looking innocent.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't speak when she saw her just looking at her, scolding and scolding herself, she cried first, "Wow ~ bad sister ~ ah ~ I'm afraid ~ snake ~ snake ~ bad sister ~ "

Lin Xiuqing took the clothes for them first, turned her head to look at it and couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Sister Ah Guang with a smile.

"Xiaoyu's body is still clean, but the pants are wet and dirty, you take off her pants first, and I'll fill the hot water." Xiao Jiu's sleeves and pants are all mud, so I have to wipe her body."

"Okay sister-in-law, I'm watching them here, you go get hot water." She also looked at Ye Xiaoxi, who was crying and scolding, and laughed directly, she couldn't be happy.

"Bad sister~Don't play with you~"

Pei Yu tilted his head and looked at her crying, and said in a milky voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you can eat......

"Don't, it's scary......"

"It's delicious~"

"I hate you~"

The two of them were communicating with each other, and the other voice was still crying, and it sounded as cute as it was.

When Lin Xiuqing was changing their clothes, she suddenly heard shouts outside, "Yingqiu~Yingqiu~"

After Ah Guang's eldest sister answered, she said to Lin Xiuqing, "My father called me, go out and have a look."

"Go ahead."

Lin Xiuqing changed the clothes of the two children and let them on the bed, don't come down, she took the water out and poured it first, but as soon as she brought the water out, she watched Pei Yingqiu run into the house with a red face, and almost hit her and spilled the water.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law......

"What's wrong?"

Everyone at the dinner table was laughing.

Ye Mu stood aside and said with a smile: "Just now the village chief asked Captain Chen how old he is, if he is married, his comrades-in-arms all coaxed him and said no, it just so happened that Yingqiu was here with us, so I thought of her. When the in-laws heard that everyone was there, they called her out."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled at Captain Chen, who was full of embarrassment, looking dark, quite old, but he didn't expect to be married yet.

"That's a good thing."

The village chief at the dinner table was also there to coax, and said with a smile, "I see that you are also quite close to our village, why don't you marry a daughter-in-law from our village and go back?" Are you from this city too?"

"Our captain is a ...... of the provincial capital."

"Oh......"

As soon as they heard about the provincial capital, everyone was not so enthusiastic in an instant, the provincial capital, which can be climbed by the countrymen in their small place, not to mention far away.

Pei's father didn't think so, "The provincial city, the provincial city is a good place, it is prosperous and lively, I often dock in the provincial capital when I drive a boat and trawl, and I can see the excitement of the city."

"I'm also from the provincial city and countryside, not from the city, don't joke, the girl is thin-skinned, not to mention that we have rules that can't get married in the station."

"This is not your station, you are not sent to station, you are just here to support the local construction, and after building the lighthouse, you will go back to the city. Ah Guang is her eldest brother, and he is still in the city, and his family also has two shops to buy in the wholesale market in the city." Ye Yaodong retorted with a smile and added the situation of the Pei family by the way.

In these years, the soldiers are still very reliable, the people's soldiers serve the people wholeheartedly, and their sense of responsibility and responsibility are bursting, plus they have been in the army for so many years, and when the time comes to change jobs, they will definitely be no worse, much better than looking for the countryside.

Think about it, it's going to be a politician in the future, it's better than their country mud legs, and they are all relatives.

When Lin Guangyuan graduates from junior high school next year, ask someone to help him and see if he can get in.

How good, we are all relatives and help each other.

Several other navies followed suit.

"Yes, yes, Captain, the man is unmarried and the woman is not married

Yes, we are not here to stay, you can marry a daughter-in-law here, and then take it to the city to set up a home in advance, and after two years, you can bring your family."

"Even if you are stationed, it's okay, get married first, and when the lighthouse project is completed, the order from above will come down and be stationed, and it will be after marriage, not married at the station."

"yes, yes, you didn't break the rules, and you're over 25 years old, you're 26......

One by one, they were more active than Captain Chen himself, and they were all excited to coax him to pull the strings, and they couldn't wait to let him go into the cave now.

Captain Chen glared at the others with an embarrassed expression, but where did the threat come from at the dinner table, everyone was not afraid at all.

"Don't make noise, don't affect the reputation of other girls, it's okay to joke with me, just go back and carry 20 kilometers."

Father Pei originally had no idea, but when the village chief started with them, he now has a strong interest, and then he keeps asking about Captain Chen's family situation.

Since he asked, he was not embarrassed not to answer, and directly asked and answered in embarrassment.

didn't answer perfectly, his comrades-in-arms actively helped him to supplement, as long as they knew, they knew everything, and said everything, which made the atmosphere even stronger.

"Otherwise, you guys repair the circuit more slowly and go to my house for dinner in the evening?"

"Huh?"

"Hahahaha........."

Everyone burst into laughter.

After Lin Xiuqing poured the water, she also stood in the hall and listened for a while, with a smile on her face that she couldn't stop laughing, and then returned to the room.

Pei Yingqiu's cheeks were red as usual with embarrassment, and she didn't know what she was thinking when she sat on the edge of the bed with her head down.

The two children on the bed had reconciled, smiling and churning and flipping around.

"What are you thinking?"

Pei Yingqiu raised her head in embarrassment, "It's nothing ......."

"Hehe, Captain Chen used to eat and live in our hometown for a month, my in-laws said that people are very good, and when the task was completed and left in the first two years, I also gave my nephew a set of sea soul shirts, and my nephew is still regarded as a treasure, and Captain Chen often writes letters."

"Our dried fish also supplies the troops, and it was Captain Chen who helped lead the way at that time, not to mention anything else, Captain Chen's character is really good, but I don't know if there is such a fate."

Pei Yingqiu lowered her head and didn't speak, and Lin Xiuqing was embarrassed to say more, so she stopped after saying a few words.

After all, this is not her sister, it's just her sister-in-law's sister-in-law, it's not her turn to say anything more and worry more, anyway, people now have stepmothers, and they don't need her mother-in-law to help worry about it.

Who knows, whether Captain Chen will leave, if he gets married and leaves, it will be even more doomed.

So she guessed that this was probably the reason why the troops couldn't get married at the station, right? I am afraid that after the soldiers are transferred out of the station, they will abandon their wives and children, and they will become sinners when they go out.

Outside kept talking lively, Pei Yingqiu didn't dare to go out for a while, so as not to be ridiculed again, so she had to stay in the room with Lin Xiuqing to play with the two children.

Fortunately, there are still two children here, and it is not embarrassing, the two put aside the topic just now, but they were very happy to chat, and by the way, they also chatted with Aunt Ma.

Pei Yingqiu said that Aunt Ma was polite to them, but they were all older, and they didn't need to trouble others to do anything, they washed their own clothes, at most, when Aunt Ma cooked, they started to do the basic housework.

When Pei's father was not at home, Aunt Ma lived next door to accompany her children most of the time, and only let her go over to call her if there was anything, and eat all together.

Lin Xiuqing nodded, after all, the two girls of the Pei family are going to get married, so it would be good to be polite, and the one who really got along for a long time was with Ah Guang Huimei, but they were not at home now.

However, when I come back after giving birth, I will probably have to ask Aunt Ma to help take care of the confinement child, fortunately, it is all from the same village, and Mother Ye will definitely come to the door every day and will help take care of it.

When the bustle outside the house had subsided, and the sound had faded away, the two of them came out of the house.

Pei Yingqiu didn't leave immediately, but followed

A mess that fills the table.

Mother Ye was very polite and didn't let her do it, and only let her accompany the child.

"Where can I let my sister-in-law do it, let's just come by ourselves, just clean up a table, you go to see these two little ones, we'll clean up here."

The old lady also politely pulled her and didn't let her touch her hands, so she had to go back to the house and look at the two children.

Lin Xiuqing also whispered to Ye Mu to inquire, and by the way, she asked Nunu in the house, "What did you say about that just now?"

"Everyone talked about it as a joke, and after a while, they didn't keep talking about it, it also depends on what people mean, and it also depends on how the in-laws are going to get it, after all, people who are soldiers are not at home all year round."

"Oooh."

"Don't worry about it, other people's own fathers will worry about it, let's just listen to the fun."

"That mother don't go out to talk about it, go out and say that people will know, it's time to spread it again, this kind of lace news is spread and spread, and it will change when it is passed on, and it is estimated that it will be outrageous in the future."

"Yes, yes, I don't say everything."

"I'm here to clean up, there's no rain outside, my mother also went out to help spread the word about collecting kelp, I'm done here, and I'll be able to go to the workshop later." Ah Dong went out with them, and when they were sent to the power supply box, watching them busy, it is estimated that they will come back in a while."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you to clean up, and I'll go out for a walk." Ye Mu wiped her hands, and it was important to do business.

Lin Xiuqing had to collect kelp in the afternoon, and she had to do business, and she couldn't take the two children with her, and the ground outside was wet, so the two of them didn't pay attention to it, and it was estimated that they were playing again.

So after cleaning up, she followed Pei Yingqiu again, hugged one by one, and sent the child to Pei's house.

Ye's mother is also very efficient, and when she finished sending the child to the village, a bunch of women pulled her to ask questions.

"Ah Qing, do you really collect kelp?"

"I heard from your mother that you are going to take away all the kelp that everyone scattered and dried some time ago, is it true?"

"I've heard about it too, when my sister-in-law next door told me about it just now, I thought it was a lie, but you all heard about it? Is it true?"

After a person pulled her, a group of sharp-eyed people surrounded her after a while.

Originally, it had just rained and it was wet outside, and there was no one to walk around, but everyone was spreading the word that their family was going to collect kelp, and enthusiastic relatives or neighbors went to other homes to inform them.

Therefore, now the women of the village are all in good spirits, and they are busy running out to inquire about their neighbors.

Now that I have met the main master, where can I let it go.

"It's true, I heard that her mother came out and said how much she wanted? I've just finished packing up the kelp at home, and I'm here to send it."

"I also packed it out, fortunately I picked up a lot, and there are more than a dozen catties, I heard that it is 1 catty and 6 cents, and it can be sold here for eight or nine cents, which is enough for a month's seasoning fee."

"Six cents? That's fine, they're all picked up anyway."

Lin Xiuqing watched a bunch of people talk around her, and some people ran over to this side.

She hurriedly confirmed, "That's right, that's right, Ah Dong thought that everyone picked up a lot of kelp some time ago, so he wanted to try whether the kelp was good to sell, and it could also increase everyone's income, so that if everyone met it in the coming year, they could pick up more."

"Okay, good, this is good......

"That's good, the things in the sea don't need money, everyone will pick up a little more next year, and the little ones didn't even think about picking them up today, it's a waste."

"Then I'll go to the house and get ...... now."

Lin Xiuqing said loudly again, "You don't have to worry, you will receive it for two or three days, if you have relatives who have picked up a lot of kelp at home, you can send it over and send it to my workshop, don't send it to my door."

"Okay, get the workshop, right?"

The zealous women shouted loudly at the people who had run away, telling them to be taken to the workshop.

And the person who was already holding it in his hand walked beside her and followed her all the way to the workshop to weigh him.

There were not many people, so she asked them to wait first, and she went home first to get the money, weighed as much as she wanted, and did not need to keep accounts for cash settlements, saving trouble.

This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading. She happened to have a lot of cans of change at home, which was just right to pour out some of it to settle these small pieces of money.

Basically, a family has more than five or six catties, more than a dozen catties, no matter how much, there is no more, after all, everyone is just a proper pick up a little bit there, occasionally eat, anyway, there will be at sea every year, just to see if luck will float to the beach.

If I had known that it would be sold for money, I guess everyone would have gone crazy at that time.

By the time she had sorted out a pile of change and brought it to the workshop, there were already twenty or thirty women waiting there, and there were people coming in one after another with kelp at the door.

Ye Yaodong is also already in the workshop, and is reassuring everyone, "Don't worry, everyone has to do as many as you want, take your time one by one, and when Ah Qing comes over with the money, he will pass the scales."

"I'm here, start weighing, you weigh, I'll give the money."

"Okay, let's start weighing."

After Ye Yaodong shouted, he watched everyone squeeze forward, and continued: "Don't worry, take your time, line up, and if you sell out, if you go back, if you have relatives or more, you can bring it."

After the nonsense was over, Ye Yaodong used the scale he bought back to be too heavy, and also took a wooden scale, so that the other little brother could also weigh it on the side at the same time, and one on both sides.

After weighing, Aqing immediately gave the money.

The first few people who got the money didn't leave, they all stood on the side with smiles on their faces and chatted, and the other people who just came were relieved to see that they could indeed sell for money.

Everyone was talking about it there, discussing with each other how many catties they had picked up and how much they could sell for?

Some patted their thighs and regretted not picking them up at that time, and some also regretted sending some of them to relatives and friends there, and their intestines were all remorseful.

In the homes of villagers who do not have much income and do not have stable jobs, a little money is money, and no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

The work of collecting kelp is carried out in an orderly manner, and there are more and more people in the workshop, people are constantly coming in, and those who are sold out have not left, and some people have come to see the excitement, it seems that it is densely packed with people, and there is a noise everywhere, and the vegetable market is not far behind.

After Ye Yaodong weighed for a while, he handed over the work to another younger brother and stood on the side.

And Ah Zheng ran over to see the excitement a little earlier, but he didn't come up when he saw that he was busy there, or he saw it, so he walked towards them.

"Why are you here?"

"Come and see you toss, see what money you're going to make again, is it useful to collect so much?"

"Try it, so-so and eat it."

"Do you want to go to the shipyard in the afternoon, the rain has stopped."

"Now?"

Ye Yaodong saw that everyone was lining up there, and there would be no problem, not to mention that there would be no more than one or two hundred, two or three hundred yuan of things, just in their village.

When it reaches other villages, if there are people again, it will be half an afternoon later, and there will probably be fewer people and fewer people, and it will be the same with him or not.

"Okay, give the goods here to the others, I'll go to the shipyard with you to have a look, and I'll go and explain to my wife."

Lin Xiuqing was too busy to pay attention to him, just nodded, anyway, someone would help weigh him.

Ye Yaodong asked them all to go back and ride their bicycles, and he also went home to ride his bicycle, put on his hat, and go to the village entrance to meet later.

By the time he passed the power box, there weren't many people gathered there.

After eating a meal, everyone had other gossip, all concentrated in his workshop, only his father and Pei's father, and a few village cadres watched with him.

Thinking that someone had to be watching over there, he went over and talked to his father

Next, he asked his father to go to the workshop to watch, and also said that he was going to the shipyard with his friends.

They went all afternoon, and it was not until dusk that the three of them pedaled back to the village on their bicycles.

And the kelp collection work in the workshop has also come to an end for the time being, and when he came back, his father and mother and Ah Qing were sorting out sacks of kelp and resisting on the cart.

"Don't you put it in a small warehouse here? Where are you going to pull it? Put it at home?"

Some time ago, Lin Jishang asked for another 5,000 catties, but he was not at home a few days ago, Aqing weighed all the goods for him, and the idle house at home was vacated all of a sudden, and even the fishy smell at home has dispersed a little in the past few days.

"It's just rained, I'm afraid that the door here will be damp if it's always open, and the house will be better, after all, the door of the empty room can be closed, and the window won't be opened."

"Oh, how many pounds did you collect?"

"As you expected, I collected more than 3,000 catties in bits and pieces, and there were other villages to sell them later, but there were not many of them. Let's see if we can collect a little more tomorrow, 10,000 catties is impossible, I didn't say it in advance, everyone didn't have much inventory, just dried a little and kept it for their own food."

"It's okay, the rain stops, see if anyone goes to sea tomorrow, if there is a sea, it is estimated that I will also go to the nearby islands to search, if it is sunny, it is estimated that there will be some goods in two or three days."

"We'll see."

Father Ye interjected and asked, "How did you go to the shipyard and ask?"

"The price has risen, the Dongsheng number, told me that it will cost 16,000, and the harvest number will cost 18,000, which is 3,000 yuan more expensive, the key is that it can't be done yet, and it won't be able to be done by the end of next year. If I have to go to the province in two days, I will also inquire about it, and I will call in the city in the morning and tell Ah Guang to take the time to ask, anyway, his family has ordered several boats in the city, and it is just right for him to ask."

"How much more expensive?"

"Yes, I don't know why, it's so expensive directly, just tell me that the materials are rising, and the workers are raising wages, the key is that he directly told me that he can't do it, and he won't take the order after two years. I don't know if I took advantage of me and didn't want to give me a plan to go so early until the year after that."

"Then I'll have to ask somewhere else."

"Hmm."

Ye Mu said on the side: "Then you will toss later, this is kelp and fishing boats, and there are so many boats at home."

"Don't worry about it until it's settled, and worry about it if it's not settled."

"Let's not talk about it yet, let's push this cart home first."

Ye Yaodong directly beckoned to the two younger brothers and asked them to push back to unload, while he continued to stand with Father Ye and talk.

"Is the circuit fixed?" When I first came back, I didn't see anyone in the power supply box."

"I don't know, I've been watching here all afternoon, I have to ask your mother......

"It's repaired, and at two or three o'clock, the village chief and the secretary will go back to the village committee, and those navies will probably return to the town." After Ye Mu finished speaking, she walked towards the bicycle in the corner.

"That's pretty fast, it'll be fine for most of the day."

"How did you ride this bike?" It's all mud, it's scared to death, I don't know if I think I've fished it out of the mud."

"It's just rained, and the roads aren't all muddy, so isn't it normal to ride like this? Look at my trouser legs all over the place."

"Your bike will be scrapped if you ride it for another two years at most, everyone can ride it for 30 years, and you can ride it for three years at most."

"No, it's still usable, you push it back and wash it."

Mother Ye really felt sorry for him for his bad things, and after scolding for a few words, she really pushed him back to help him wash it.

In the workshop, only Father Ye and him were left.

"Why didn't you just say donate two boats at lunchtime?"

"Don't worry, they still have to have a meeting to discuss it anyway, I don't need to rush to the top in such a hurry, when they are confirmed, they will naturally come back to me again."

I know that I can sell it for money, and I can bring an income to the villagers and improve the whole village

The standard of living, no matter how it is, they will try it.

After all, the labor effort at the beginning is not very large, and it is not necessary to raise the strength of the whole village, but it is possible that the whole village will benefit.

Grow big with a small amount.

He estimated that in three days at most, the village committee would come to him to talk about the matter.

When the time comes, when they are in trouble for the investment of funds, he will push the boat down the river and donate two boats, which can show that he is more conscious, sincere, and cares about the whole village.

At first, it is logical to have his input, and when there is a harvest in the future, it is logical to harvest it for him.

"It's good that you know what to do. Did you ask about your remaining 6 boats when you went to the shipyard in the afternoon?"

"Asked, there will be another one in half a month, and then the rest will have to wait until the end of the year, or early next year, maybe two more at one time at that time, and the last two will wait for the middle of next year."

"That's just right, when the time comes, I'll park it at the pier for the time being, don't rent it. When we go to Zhejiang Province next month, the Dongsheng will pull ten small wooden boats, and the newly returned ships will be specially used to carry more than 20 people."

"Yes."

"When you call Ah Guang two days later, you have to talk to him, remind him, ask him to call the jellyfish factory to ask, and then keep in touch more, and wait for the end of the month to be more diligent, and call every once in a while to ask."

"Hmm."

"It's not going to be a good year."

"It's okay, it's going to be even worse next year."

Father Ye had nothing to say, so he could only ask when he would go to sea after the rain stopped.

"Listen to the weather forecast at night, check the weather, and then discuss it with Uncle Pei."

It's just that the reality is beyond expectations, and before the weather forecast of 730 in the evening, it will start to rain heavily again after dark.

The light bulbs above their heads flickered on and off, like fireflies.

The whole family was sitting there watching the news broadcast, and all of them opened their mouths, either looking at the flickering lights above their heads, or watching the sound of sizzling from the TV.

"Wow~"

The old lady shouted eagerly, "Ouch, yo yo, quickly unplug the TV, there is no signal, and the power will go out again, don't burn it......

As soon as she stood up, the lights went dark.

"There's a power outage again!"

Lin Xiuqing also said at the same time: "You all sit still and don't move, I'll go and light the candles."

Ye Yaodong also said depressedly: "There is another power outage."

Ye Chenghu said happily, "It's raining heavily."

"What are you happy about?"

"My brother said that if it rains heavily, you don't have to go to school."

"If you think about it, the rain will stop tomorrow morning, just like today."

Ye Chenghu didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being beaten.

Lin Xiu counted the candles and asked, "Captain Chen, are they going to come in again tomorrow to repair the circuit?"

"Who knows, I guess I might have been scared away by everyone's proposal during the day, and I didn't dare to take the initiative to ask to come in again."

"And what if it comes again?"

"I can't say anything if I come again, I can only say that I am born once and I am ripe twice."

The old lady smiled and said, "The few soldiers during the day are all very good, one is unwilling, can you ask the others if they are willing?"

"Then you can't be so hasty, you have to inquire about people's family backgrounds."

"I think Uncle Pei is also quite excited in the afternoon."

"Don't say he's excited, I'm also excited, it's a pity, the cabbage at home has been arched by pigs, Made, if it's two years late, then what's the matter with Ah Guang?"

"What are you talking about, Emi is already married, you can't talk nonsense."

"I'll just talk about it, complain, and don't say anything."
