Ye Yaodong stood at the door early in the morning. He felt that the temperature had dropped a bit today. He heard the whistling of the northwest wind and the rolling waves on the sea in the distance.
He sniffed and wiped it with a handkerchief. His second brother beside him also had a cold and sniffed as well. He then scraped his nose against the wall with his hand, rubbed his fingers back and forth, and finally scraped his nose again...
"The wind is blowing and the waves are so big. We can't go out to sea today. It's been two days."
Ye Yaodong glanced at his second brother's hand obscurely, then turned his eyes away and continued to look at the sea, "There's nothing we can do. The wind is blowing. We can't go there with the wind and waves."
"I heard it's going to rain again tomorrow, and I don't know if the waves will be big. It's been a break for several days, and I don't know if there will be good weather later."
"Who knows? Who can predict the weather?"
Ye Yaopeng was also standing in front of his house. As someone who works on the sea, how could he not care about the weather and the waves? Early in the morning, many villagers stood on the beach, all of whom came out to watch the tide and waves.
The wind and waves were so strong that it was another day of strike for the whole village.
At this time, Lin Xiuqing's voice came from the room, "Adong~"
"Ah?" He hurried into the house, "What?"
"Go to the village and see if anyone has chickens to sell. Buy a chicken. Today is the beginning of winter. Let's stew a chicken to nourish ourselves."
"Okay, I'll buy a pig's stomach and stew it with the chicken to warm my stomach."
"All right."
With money in his pocket, Ye Yaodong walked towards the only main road in the village. He saw someone selling freshly slaughtered mutton at a stall in the center of the village. After thinking about it, he chopped off a leg of mutton and sent it to the old house. By the way, he asked his mother if anyone had chickens for sale.
Unexpectedly, Ye's mother scolded him and said he was wasting money. Then she caught a big rooster from the backyard, tied its wings with straw and handed it to him, whispering, "Don't let your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law know."
"knew."
"Hey...wait..."
After thinking for a while, Ye's mother went to get a small basket, put 20 eggs in it and handed it to him, "Give it to your wife to eat, to nourish her."
"Aren't you going to keep it to hatch the chicks?"
"It's too early to hatch chicks. The hens won't start brooding until spring. Eggs will go bad if left for too long. Give them to her to eat. The eggs laid by your own chickens are better."
"okay."
Ye Yaodong was happily going home with a chicken in his left hand and a basket of eggs in his right hand. However, on the way, he ran into Ye Ersao who was strolling back and forth in the center of the village. He had seen her before and now he ran into her again. Is she so idle
Don’t you usually sit and weave webs whenever you have free time
He was puzzled for a moment, then put it out of his mind. After all, it wasn't his wife who was fooling around.
After taking the eggs back, he told his wife to eat one every day. Then he asked her to boil water. He took the kitchen knife to the back door and sharpened it for a while.
Then he took a small bowl, filled it with some water, sprinkled a little salt, mixed it evenly and set it aside.
The two children squatted on the ground, looking at the big rooster curiously, "Dad, are we going to have chicken tonight?"
"You two move away. I'm going to kill a chicken."
He plucked some of the hair on the chicken's neck, then cut it with a knife and grabbed its flapping wings and neck. The two children stared with their eyes wide open and screamed.
Ye Yaodong placed the chicken's neck into a bowl to drain the blood, and only threw it on the ground to let it twitch when the blood stopped dripping.
He also took over the job of plucking the chickens and didn't let his wife get involved. Since he was not at sea and was at home, he just helped with more work.
At this time, voices were heard from the next room.
"I saw you going in and out all morning. Today is the beginning of winter, and everyone in the village is killing chickens and ducks, but you didn't make any noise..."
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat, eat, eat all day long. What's wrong with the beginning of winter? Who says that you have to eat good food on the beginning of winter? Do you want to kill me for food? If you hadn't lent the money out, you could eat whatever you wanted..."
"Why...why are you bringing this up again..."
"You can do it but you can't let others tell you, right?"
Suddenly, the sound of banging and knocking rang out in the room again...
The bad thing about living too close is that if anyone makes any noise, the neighbors on both sides will know.
Lin Xiuqing and Ye Yaodong looked at each other and whispered, "Interest! It expired yesterday..."
Ye Yaodong understood instantly that it had already been a month. No wonder he saw his second sister-in-law wandering on the road in the morning.
It's only the second day, and I can't sit still early in the morning...
According to his experience, the first one or two months will definitely be stable, and there will definitely be interest. As for the rest, haha…
Sure enough, when the family woke up from their afternoon nap in the afternoon, they heard Second Sister-in-law Ye happily promoting to First Sister-in-law Ye at the door, telling her how reliable and punctual her eldest cousin was. When the time came yesterday, she went to the door this afternoon and got the money...
When Lin Xiuqing went to the door to collect the clothes, Ye Ersao also pulled her and said happily that it was a good thing that she didn't listen to them, otherwise she would have missed such a good opportunity to make money.
As he was talking, he even took out the money from his pocket to show them, trying to prove that he really made money...
Lin Xiuqing laughed twice, "Then the second sister-in-law can finally rest assured. She doesn't have to sit or stand in the morning. She can also make some tonic soup and the whole family can celebrate."
Ye Yaodong leaned against the door and just wanted to laugh. He said jokingly, "You'd better not eat it. Second brother lent out the money, and Second sister-in-law needs to earn two months of interest to get back the principal."
A look of pain flashed across Ye Ersao's happy face. She suddenly became unhappy and put the money directly into her pocket.
Mrs. Ye hesitated and said, "I don't know if my eldest cousin can still join? Did you ask when you received the interest?"
When Ye Ersao saw that Ye Dasao was also interested, she immediately felt proud again, thinking that she was so wise at that time. She joined early and started earning money early. It was obvious that she earned 25 yuan more per month than others.
It's so exciting to make money without doing anything.
"I asked, and my cousin's wife said yes. Look, 25 yuan a month, 300 yuan a year. If I invest 1,000 yuan, 50 yuan a month, 600 yuan a year... Oh my God... This is more than what I earned from weaving webs for two years..."
"Yeah... God... I can make a lot of money with this calculation, and I will get my money back in two years, and the rest is profit..."
"If we pay the money earlier, we can get the interest one day earlier..."
"You want to add more money? How much..."
The two sisters were whispering excitedly, their eyes becoming brighter the more they talked.
Ye Yaopeng was chopping firewood at the door. He was a little hesitant at first, but was persuaded by the two women in a few words.
Seeing that his wife was still listening attentively after collecting the clothes, Ye Yaodong quickly called her back, "Ah Qing, the chicken should be cooked, right? Give a bowl to the two children first!"
“Oh, here it comes.”
It's hard to persuade a damned person with kind words.
Don't lead his wife astray!
As a result, Ye Yaodong heard about it while having dinner before the evening. His two good sisters-in-law hurriedly took another 500 yuan each and sent it over in the afternoon!
The reason is that if I wait until tomorrow, the interest will be paid one day later...
There is so much money, it’s hot!
After the house was built and the family was divided, I had all the money in my hands. I felt that the man in the family made money too easily, right
He actually gave money to others, and gave it so impatiently, fearing that they would go back on their word.
He couldn't help but look at his wife, feeling that he had to remind her again. The three sisters-in-law lived close to each other, and she might talk to them more than he did in a day. All his belongings were in her hands.
He said earnestly, "Ah Qing, don't be influenced by them. It's not easy for me, your husband, to make money. It's better for us to spend the money ourselves than to let others spend it. For a few dozen dollars of interest, giving hundreds or thousands of dollars to others without seeing what they do with their own eyes? There's really no need to take that risk."
"I know. If I plan to take out any money, I will discuss it with you first. I also feel that they are a little bit obsessed. The money comes too easily, and the interest is so high. I feel uneasy no matter how I think about it."
now it's right!
"Yes, yes, let's not think about these good things, just work hard to earn our own money."
"You know it's hard-earned money, so don't just spend your earnings thinking about buying this and that. Look at the bicycle. It was delivered last night and has been sitting at home. I haven't had a chance to ride it out..."
"Who said that? I have to go to literacy class after dinner, so I can ride my bike there."
When Ye Chenghu heard his father say he wanted to go out on a bicycle, he immediately interrupted with shining eyes and shouted: "Dad, I want to sit on the back of your bicycle!"
The other one was not to be outdone, "I want one too!"
"I want your heads, I want your heads... Why do you, as a kid, butt in on a conversation between adults? Hurry up and eat your food. Pick up all the food that has fallen from the table and eat it."
After scolding the child, Lin Xiuqing scolded the child's father rudely, "What about your three-piece diving suit? You bought it secretly without telling me. The weather is getting colder day by day. Do you still want to go into the sea? Don't you want to risk your life..."
Ye Yaodong quickly explained, "Didn't I tell you last night? I prepared it in advance, just in case. It's nothing serious. I definitely can't dive in the middle of winter..."
"If you do this again, you'll have to find a way to pay yourself."
He quickly apologized with a smile, "Hehe, just this once, next time I will definitely discuss it with you first, I didn't spend money recklessly, the money I earned at sea is also spent at sea."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, listened to him speak with a slight nasal tone, and felt a little distressed. She didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she scooped him another bowl of chicken soup.
"Drink more chicken soup, you are too weak..."
"I'm not weak. I caught a cold. It was because I went into the water and came out of the cold wind. I'm fine now."
"You're still tired? Going out to sea is so tiring. Going out at night means a whole day..."
"Then I am not weak either!"
He would never admit that he was weak!
Lin Xiuqing did not argue with him, "Remember to bring a kettle of water with you when you go out to class later. You still have a nasal tone when you speak."
"A little bit, nothing, it will be fine tomorrow."
