Lin Xiuqing greeted him with a smile on her face, "You are finally back. The guests have been waiting for a while."
The man also stood up and walked over and said with a smile: "Haha, you are the son of the friend that Lin Jingye mentioned, right?"
As soon as Ye Yaodong heard him say Uncle Lin, he understood. This person should be the one who wanted to sell the boat yesterday. He didn't expect him to come to him so soon.
He was pleasantly surprised, but his doubts disappeared and he smiled, saying, "Yes, it's me. Uncle, you are Uncle Lin's friend, right? You are the captain who is planning to buy a 30-meter-long ship, right?"
"Yes, it's me. My name is Zhao Chengzhou. I just came here to look for Lin Jingye, but he wasn't at home. His wife took me to your hometown, but there was only a little girl and an old lady at home. The little girl knew why I came, so she brought me here. I didn't expect that you were out to sea, so I came at a very coincidental time."
"I'm sorry to have kept Uncle Zhao waiting for so long. Let's sit down and talk."
"It didn't take long..."
"Ah! Adong, what did you bring back?" Lin Xiuqing screamed. She originally wanted to see what he brought back today, whether there were any small fish to kill and dry, but she didn't expect that there would be such disgusting and strange things in the bucket.
Ye Yaodong was also frightened by her. When he came back, he was only paying attention to the middle-aged man named Zhao Chengzhou and forgot to tell her not to look at him anymore.
He quickly went over and patted her on the back, "Are you not scared? I forgot to tell you not to look at it anymore. I'll take care of it later."
"Are these snakes? Why are there so many of them? They look so scary. Where did you come from?"
"I caught them at sea. These are blue-ringed sea snakes. Now should be their breeding season. Today I encountered them gathered together, forming a long snake formation of over a thousand meters. I was lucky enough to catch dozens of them. I removed their heads, they are already dead. Don't be afraid, don't just look at them, I'll take care of them later." He patted them soothingly and said.
"Oh... first take the receipt and the money from the snake sales. There were originally two large buckets, and after selling them, there will be more than a dozen left."
His wife loves counting money the most, and this is of course the best way to comfort her.
Zhao Chengzhou, who was standing by, also came over curiously. "It's rare to see one. It's pretty amazing that it can catch so many."
"We're lucky. Uncle Zhao will bring two back later. I'll ask my wife to steam some dried fish and stir-fry two dishes. We'll drink some rice wine and chat while we eat."
The smile on Zhao Chengzhou's face deepened a lot. This kid knows how to behave.
"How can that be so embarrassing?"
"It's okay. I caught them all myself. I'm afraid of death. I killed them all and they're worthless. If you don't mind, you can take two back to eat for fun."
"No, no, keep it for yourself..."
"Wow, Dad, what is this?" When the two naughty kids heard that their father was back, they hurried home. They were not afraid when they saw the sea snake in the bucket, and they poked it twice out of curiosity.
How audacious!
Ye Yaodong ignored them and asked Zhao Chengzhou to sit down with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, you are welcome. You are Uncle Lin's friend and my elder. You are not a good person anyway."
When Lin Xiuqing heard that Ye Yaodong wanted to invite the guests to drink, she didn't even bother to count the money and quickly took the money and the bill into the house.
Then she took out the steamed dried fish from the pot. She had originally planned to steam a bowl of it to go with rice in the evening, and it was time to serve it on the table. She also took out her homemade rice wine.
Then he stopped the two naughty kids and asked the eldest brother to wait at the door. If his uncle came back, he would ask him to go to his hometown and ask Ye's father to come over to drink with the guests.
As for Uncle Lin, she would have to wait until she finished preparing the meal before calling him. She could guess that they would definitely talk about buying and selling ships.
Sure enough, after Ye Yaodong filled Uncle Zhao's glass with wine, he asked directly: "I heard from Uncle Lin that Uncle Zhao wants to change to a larger boat of more than 30 meters. Has Uncle Zhao found a suitable one?"
"I have been searching for half a month and finally found a suitable one today. Now, Jingye told me that you wanted to buy a boat, so I came to my door today."
Ye Yaodong was delighted, it was really a good thing that happened to him.
"How long is Uncle Zhao's boat? How many tons does it carry? How old is it?"
…
The two chatted while drinking. Although there was a generation difference in age between them, they got along quite well. After all, Ye Yaodong had a lot of experience in his previous life, and he had a lot to say about things at sea. Zhao Chengzhou was also very happy chatting with him.
As soon as Ye's father came back, he heard what Ye Huimei said. He took a shower, didn't even eat, and hurried over. On the way, he met Ye Chenghu who was looking for him, and brought him over.
Lin Jingye heard from his wife at home that she had not eaten yet and came out just after him.
Lin Xiuqing moved out all the food in her home and prepared several bowls of snacks, letting them drink and chat slowly.
The two children only needed a bowl of fried eggs with shrimps. After eating, they went to play with the snake. She didn't dare to touch the thing and just threw it there.
The four of them became more and more excited as they talked, and they drank until it was completely dark. They had finished all eight kilograms of rice wine, but they had discussed most of the issues.
It's easy to talk about things over a drink.
Zhao Chengzhou needs a large sum of money to replace the big ship, and he is in urgent need of money now, so he came to me directly when he got the news today.
Ye Yaodong also wanted to get the boat as soon as possible. After learning about the condition of the boat, the two hit it off. As long as Zhao Chengzhou brought the boat over tomorrow, they would inspect the boat, and if there were no problems, they would pay the money and take the boat.
Before leaving, Ye Yaodong, who was very kind, gave two blue-ringed sea snakes as a gift.
"I told you not to be polite, don't be polite! You are not outsiders. You are all my father's friends. Do you think it's worth being so polite to two snakes? Who knows what else I will need to trouble Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhao for in the future."
Father Ye also said with a stammer, "Yes, take them all. I caught them myself, not bought them. Dongzi also caught quite a few. Don't be polite."
Uncle Lin burped, his face flushed, and he smiled, "Okay, okay, then we won't be polite to you, and each of us will catch two and take them back."
"I'll go get some straw rope to tie it up."
Ye Yaodong went to the door to find some straw, rolled it into a straw rope, then each of them tied up two snakes and asked them to take them back, and also asked his father to take two back.
After sending everyone away, he leaned against the door, took a long breath and burped.
Lin Xiuqing hugged his waist and patted his chest, "Why did you drink so much? Your neck is red."
"I'm so happy! We're getting a new boat."
Ye Yaodong's mouth was wide open, his face was full of smiles, he hugged his wife, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard.
"Hey, you're still at the door, why are you doing this?" Lin Xiuqing gently pushed his chest and dodged awkwardly.
He was also a little drunk, and the alcohol was taking effect. He happily picked her up and carried her into the house.
"Ah~ Have you drunk too much? Put me down quickly. The two kids are still playing next door. Don't let them see me..."
"What are you afraid of!"
His arm strength has increased from working hard over the past few months. Although it is a bit difficult for him to carry his wife, it is still no problem for him to just go into the house.
Lin Xiuqing didn't struggle, knowing that he was happy.
He gently put her on the bed and kissed and groped her wildly again.
Good things have been happening a lot recently. Ye Yaodong has become more and more reliable and considerate. The relationship between the couple is heating up faster and faster, and they feel like they are in love.
The couple rolled around passionately on the bed for a while. Lin Xiuqing was kissed so hard that she was a little confused and her clothes were almost taken off. Then the two little guys pushed the door open with a bang, shouting as they walked.
"Mom and Dad, Brother Hai said he wants to take a flashlight to the beach to look at the small fish. Can we... go? Mom and Dad, what are you doing? Are you guys stacking people?"
Looking at the innocent eyes of the two children, Lin Xiuqing's face flushed red, not knowing whether it was because of the excitement just now or because of embarrassment. She kicked the man off and hurriedly explained to the children with a wry smile.
"Your father was drunk, and mother helped him back to the room. She was too heavy and was crushed by him."
Ye Yaodong pulled the quilt over a certain part of his body and heard a muffled laugh from there. How come he didn’t notice that his wife was quite cute
Well...she is only 25 years old now...
Lin Xiuqing heard the noise nearby and glared at him, but she didn't know that the charm flowing between her eyebrows at this moment had no deterrent effect at all, and made people want to pounce on her and do whatever they wanted to her, and eat her up.
"Ah? Oh..."
Ye Chenghu blinked his eyes in confusion, still thinking about going to the beach. He didn't bother to think about it and asked quickly, "Can I go to the beach with Brother Hai? They want to go to the beach with flashlights to catch small fish."
Lin Xiuqing said sternly, "You are not allowed to go. It is more dangerous at night. If you fall into the sea, who will save you?"
"No, we will be careful."
"No, it's time to go to bed. You are not allowed to go anywhere. If your brother Ahai dares to go, your aunt will peel off the skin."
The eldest son is only 5 years old, and the youngest is not even two weeks old. How dare they go to the beach at night without an adult watching? Do they think their lives are too long
"We'll go take a look and be back."
Lin Xiuqing was so relieved that she stood up and took a bundle of bamboo sticks, which she brought from her hometown. This thing was more effective than her talking.
"Your skin is itchy, isn't it? Stay in your room and don't go anywhere. I'll get you some water to wash your feet. Wash up and go to bed."
"Dad..."
Ye Yaodong lay flat on his back, his hands behind his head, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled in a good mood. "It's no use calling me! It's really dangerous at night, you are not allowed to go."
"But it's more fun at night? Brother Hai said that uncle said that if you shine a flashlight at night, you will catch a lot of fish."
"Forget about it. Without an adult, none of you can go. If you go, I'll pull you back and break your legs!"
The two children's protest was in vain, so they could only wash their faces, hands and feet reluctantly and jump on the bed. After being scolded, they stood on Lin Xiuqing's left and right and quarreled with her.
"Mother is mine!"
"be mine!"
"mine!"
…
Stuck in a dead end...
Ye Yaodong's head was throbbing with pain from their noise. He was not sober after drinking, so he shouted, "Shut up, she's my wife!"
"mine!"
"mine!"
"The two little brats will sleep in their own little beds tomorrow!"
"I don't want to, you are shameless, you are so old, and you still want to sleep with your mother!"
“This is my wife!”
Now it was Lin Xiuqing's turn to have a headache, "Are you childish? Shut up and go to sleep!"
It’s quiet now!
