"Dongzi, where did you get that diesel engine on your ship?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, why is there an extra diesel engine? Are you going to be a pirate too?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Please help me carry it later."
"Where are you from then?"
“I found it.”
Huh? Everyone stared.
"Tell me where you found it, and I'll pick up ten or eight of them, too."
"I'm telling you, you can't pick it up either."
"Could it be the machinery from the ship that sank when the people from Luzhou Island sank some time ago?" An idea flashed in Xiaoxiao's mind.
Ye Yaodong chuckled twice, "From ancient times to the present, there are so many sunken ships on the seabed. Who knows which ship it is? Don't talk nonsense. I dragged it up with great effort, so it must be mine."
"It doesn't look rusty at all, so it must not have been submerged for long."
"There are so many accidental shipwrecks. It's Dongzi's ability that we were able to salvage it. Why do you care which ship it is on?" A Guang spoke up to help.
"Seawater can corrode, and I don't know if it can still be used."
"We'll know after we fix it. If it's not usable, we can still sell it as scrap metal for some money."
Everyone started talking and the matter of retrieving the machine was exposed.
But when they finished selling the goods and helped to carry the machines onto the ship, they found that there was not only one more diesel engine, but also an extra net lifting machine at the stern!
"Fuck, don't tell me this net-lifting machine was also fished out of the sea? It's so new."
"What do you care about? Come on and help lift it." Ye Yaodong urged.
The others also ran to the stern, but were blocked by the small cabin in the middle and did not see the machine at the stern.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's you again. This saves me some effort. Are there any other good things on the ship?"
"It's gone. Hurry up and help lift it onto the cart." He kept urging the curious people.
"Hey, get to work, finish moving quickly and go home early."
With everyone's help, the machine was moved onto the cart.
People on the shore asked curiously, but they just evaded the question by saying that the machine was broken and was being taken back for repair.
It was already late today, so Ye Yaodong asked his father to ask the village master to come and dismantle and clean the car tomorrow on his way back.
When Lin Xiuqing saw him pushing a large machine back, she was also very curious. She sat by the window in the room and looked out, and asked, "Where did you get the machine?"
"I found it. I'll try to fix it tomorrow to see if it can be used. If it can be used, I can sell it for more money."
“Can the machine still pick it up?”
“Why can’t I pick it up?”
"Dongzi... Dongzi... Run! Someone is here to check. They are at the entrance of the village..."
Just as the couple was talking through the window, A Guang ran over panting.
Ye Yaodong was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
Lin Xiuqing, who was in the room, was so shocked when she heard this that she stood up so suddenly that the stool fell over.
Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye, who were sitting at the door weaving a net, also came over in surprise.
Ah Guang barely took a breath before continuing, "I just went back and saw them at the entrance of the village. They were checking every household."
"Ah...my belly...Adong...I'm about to give birth..."
“Ah? She’s going to give birth? Shit…” Ye Yaodong panicked instantly.
After all, Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao had given birth to children before and were experienced. They reacted immediately and said, "A Guang, go to the old house and ask our mother to come over. Let's go in and take a look first."
Ye Yaodong also quickly followed behind him into the house.
"Hey? Did your water break?" As soon as Sister Ye came in, she saw water marks on Lin Xiuqing's pants. "Adong, hurry up and carry her into the house."
"The amniotic fluid broke and the baby came quickly. This is Qing's third baby, and the birth is going well... There's still time, there's still time, don't panic..." Mrs. Ye was quite reliable at the critical moment and could even say a few words of comfort.
"Carry him in first, put him on the bed, then go and boil some water..."
Ye Yaodong didn't know anything about having children, so he could only do whatever his two sisters-in-law told him to do. What did he do
There was still food in the pot that Ah Qing had just cooked. He was so panicked that he didn't care about the heat. He just took it all out and almost scooped out the rice with his hands.
Just as he had just boiled the water with trembling hands, bursts of screams of pain began to be heard from the house. His hands were scalded by the fire snake while he was putting in the firewood, and a small part of his sleeve was burned. How could he still remember to use the fire tongs at this time
When he had his first and second child, he was hanging around outside and not at home. But when he returned home he would be a father anyway, so there was no tension.
Under the double attack, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
After boiling the water, he hurried outside to watch, and at this time Ye's mother also came running over quickly.
"Ah, she's going to give birth, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, they said her water broke, but I don't know what part of the water broke. You should go in and take a look."
"Hey you, it's good that the water broke, it's good that the water broke, the baby will be born soon..." Ye's mother said as she ran into the house.
Ye's father arrived soon after and stood at the door. "It's better to give birth quickly, so you don't have to worry."
A Guang also came late, supporting the old lady.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, I just went in." Ye Yaodong looked at A Guang nervously, "Go and see where the people are. Is Secretary Chen here? Is he accompanied? Ask him to help find a way to delay it for a while. It's okay to spend some money, it's on me."
"Okay, I'll go check it out."
A Guang ran quickly again.
Ye Yaodong anxiously looked inside the house, then at the roadside, and then looked at his watch. He heard that women take a long time to give birth.
"How long will it take?"
The old lady comforted him, "This is the third one. Births are very fast. When your mother gave birth to you, it took less than an hour. You almost died. You were born on the beach."
He nodded randomly. He knew from what he had heard since he was a child that he was almost born on the beach.
Some women in the village almost gave birth in the fields or in the mountains, and they hoped that Aqing could give birth soon.
Hearing the cries of pain in the room getting louder and louder, his heart began to lift.
Seeing his mother coming out to get some hot water, he quickly went over to her and asked, "What's going on? Is the baby born?"
"No, go wait at the door, and stop anyone who comes."
He had no choice but to run to the door and guard it again.
Just as he was pacing back and forth nervously, A Guang came running back quickly.
"Here? So soon?" Ye Yaodong's heart skipped a beat.
"No, no, I quietly told Secretary Chen, and Secretary Chen is leading people to another road."
He instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Time passed by minute by minute, the sun set behind the mountain, and the workers who were building the house next door were ready to finish their work. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain in the spring, which meant they couldn't work every other day, the house next door would have been completed long ago.
Ye Yaodong kept looking down at his wrist. It had been more than an hour, why hadn't she given birth yet? Didn't they say it would be soon
So nervous!
At this time, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also returned from the sea. Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also came back from playing outside at dinner time. When they heard that Lin Xiuqing was giving birth, they all waited at the door together.
"Dad, is mom going to give birth to a sister?"
"Um."
Ye Yaodong had been looking at the roadside. When he saw a group of people appear at the intersection, his heart jumped up, but at this moment, a loud cry was heard in the house.
He almost jumped for joy.
"It's born, it's born..."
The people guarding outside the house also breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady was also very happy. "It's good that the baby is born. It's good that the baby is born. I thought I was too old to lie on the ground."
"It's all right now."
"Fortunately, the birth was quick."
As the visitor got closer, he heard the crying of a baby in the house. Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but the others all looked grim.
Only to return empty-handed.
Secretary Chen followed with a smile, "The sun has set, the leaders are tired after a day, let's go eat first, this work can't be completed in a day or two..."
After Secretary Chen sent the people away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yaodong also hurried into the room excitedly, "How's Ah Qing? Is it a boy or a girl? Let me see..."
"Wait, wait, what's the hurry?"
As soon as Ye Yaodong entered his room, he was driven out by Ye's mother again.
"Let me see! Everyone is gone, everything is fine, let me in!"
"Wait a minute, I haven't packed it yet."
The door was slammed shut again without mercy.
"Can you at least tell me if it's a boy or a girl?" He stood outside the house with his neck stretched out, feeling very excited.
It's a thrill accompanied by excitement, mixed with the joy of being a father.
The old lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will know soon."
"Why!"
Anyway, the baby was born safely. Ye Yaodong rubbed his hands with a smile on his face.
"Dad, it must be my sister!"
Ye Chengyang also nodded.
He smiled and rubbed Ye Chengyang's cheek, "Not your brother anymore?"
"I want a brother."
"Why?"
"Because my sister will be given away."
Huh? Ye Yaodong was surprised for a moment, then smiled and rubbed his head, "No, don't worry, it won't be given away."
Many baby girls in the village were given away in order to have a boy.
I didn’t expect the child knew it at such a young age. No wonder he always said he was his younger brother.
At this time, the door was opened and Ye's mother came out with a little baby in her arms, smiling.
Ye Yaodong immediately came forward with joy, "Ah, a man or a woman? So much hair..."
The red, wrinkled face was so ugly that he couldn't praise her for being pretty, so he could only praise her for having more hair...
"Girl, it just so happens that you don't have a daughter either, so you'll have pig's feet to eat in the future."
He was overjoyed when he heard that, it was indeed a daughter!
"Give me a hug..."
Although he is not a competent father, he has at least held a child before. Even though he is not very skilled, he knows how to do it.
"It's really small, how many pounds?"
"7.2 jin, not small. All the children in the family were not as big as her when they were born. All those good things you brought back were not in vain."
Big fat girl!
Ye Yaodong was very proud. No wonder his wife's belly was so big. It was because he fed her well.
"Dad, let me see..."
"I want to see too… "
His trouser legs were grabbed by two men, so he had to squat down and let his two sons take a look.
"Oh, so ugly!"
“So ugly!”
"What do you know? You were uglier when you were little, skinny, and your face wasn't even as big as my fist. Your sister is much prettier than you."
"I don't believe it. Her face is so red, it's so ugly."
The old lady said with a smile: "It will be clear tomorrow. This child is blessed. He was born at the right time."
Mrs. Ye also smiled and said, "You are indeed blessed, your earlobes are quite big."
"Yes, big earlobes are a blessing..."
