A radio is a big item, and if he spent so much money to buy it, he would have to let his wife know. If he bought it without her knowing, she would definitely not be in a good mood when she finds out later, and would definitely be angry for a few days.
It would be better to inform her in advance and discuss it with her, it is better to convince her, she is not unreasonable.
It’s good like this now, which avoids family conflicts.
Besides, it is easier to convince her with the money she found, and she is more likely to accept it.
Ye Yaodong let her sleep a little longer and went out to continue his work.
Lin Guangyuan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling the whole afternoon, and kept talking about the interesting things that happened in the past few days.
"You have a loquat tree at home, but you don't go back to pick it. Instead, you steal other people's loquats here. If you are caught, no matter who comes to redeem you, your dog legs will be broken."
"It was my uncle who asked us to go!"
"If I tell you to go, you go. If I tell you to eat shit, will you go?"
He also diverted his firepower and turned him over. I just spoke well of this guy in vain.
"Keep it for yourself."
"You're itching for a beating."
Ye Yaodong took the branch in his hand and swung it twice. Seeing this, Lin Guangyuan dodged quickly with a smile, and saw a bucket of loquats next to him and picked up two that were connected together.
"Why don't you wait for a few sunny days before picking them? It rained a few days ago, and the loquats we picked today are not tasty."
"I thought I'd come pick you up as soon as the weather clears up, so as not to cause trouble to your uncle. Since I'm here, I picked a bucket of bayberries from the mountain. It will take some time before the bayberries are harvested, so I'll bring them over. I'll also make two jars of bayberry wine for you."
"No, no, you keep it for yourself and sell it. You only hope to make some money when the fruits ripen throughout the year. Don't give it to us."
"It's okay. We grow a lot, and my in-laws have a lot of children, so it can satisfy their cravings."
"Those children don't have enough to eat, never mind..."
At night, as soon as Ye Yaodong woke up and put on his clothes, Lin Guangyuan woke up immediately. As soon as he sat up, he realized his sleeping position, with his legs stretched out in the railing and touching the ground.
The other two actually stuck their butts out towards the wall like frogs. He couldn't help but mutter, "They sleep in a mess every day, but they were lying down well before going to bed..."
"Shh, stop talking and get up."
Fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, otherwise they would have frozen to death. He covered the two brothers with quilts before going out.
Lin Guangyuan followed happily, "Uncle, do I need to bring anything?"
"Just take you aboard. Don't cry if you get seasick. I won't send you back."
He patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I won't get seasick."
"You can't just say you won't feel dizzy. Let's go. Take the two buckets to the cart. Be careful. There are bowls inside."
"Okay~ Can I sit on it and push it for you?"
Ye Yaodong gave him a look of disdain and said, "Respect the old and love the young. I'll sit on it and push it for you."
Lin Guangyuan laughed and said, "You are not old, little uncle, you are young and strong."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hurry up, stop dawdling..."
"Wow, uncle, there are so many headlights outside the dock, flashing..."
"Are there a lot of people here? Why do you all go out to sea in the middle of the night? Can't you go in the morning?"
"Wouldn't it be less tiring if I went in the morning and came back in the evening? I could also get enough sleep..."
"Why are you so talkative? I didn't know you were so talkative before. You go in the morning and come back in the afternoon, and it takes three hours to go back and forth. If you delay any longer, you will only have enough time to haul two nets a day. How can you earn enough money for gas?"
"Is that so? Oh, we can go there at night and drag two more nets."
"Come here." Ye Yaodong put down the cart and waved to him.
"Ah?" Lin Guangyuan trotted over happily.
Ye Yaodong pulled him over to take his place, "You seem to be quite free, so I'll let you push the cart to help you gain some strength."
"ah?"
"What? Hurry up and work! Children should be more diligent."
"All right."
When they arrived at the dock, Ye's father and his friends were already waiting there, talking to someone they knew.
"Why did you come so late?"
"Lin Guangyuan is too slow."
Lin Guangyuan accepted the glares from his two elders and stared at Ye Yaodong in disbelief. How could he hesitate? He just did whatever he was told to do.
"Let's go."
The three mountain people were a little curious about taking a boat for the first time. After getting on the boat, they looked around and found everything a little new.
"Uncle, many boats come out at night. The dock is much busier at night than during the day. The village is not as busy as the dock."
"Everyone is working hard to make a living, otherwise who would stay up late at night?"
"Ah, there are fish, there are fish..."
Suddenly a fish jumped out of the water and leaped.
Lin Guangyuan looked at Ye Yaodong who was indifferent and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to catch him?"
"What are you catching? It's not a school of fish. What's more, that one is stupid. Why catch it? It will only delay things. I'll just catch the big and valuable fish."
"Oh, this isn't worth much?"
…
Lin Guangyuan kept talking all the way and didn't seem seasick or listless at all. Ye Yaodong felt relieved because he was worried that they would get seasick at first.
But he didn't feel reassured for long, as he realized that he had overestimated them.
Just half an hour after leaving the shore, Lin's father and mother both looked unhappy. Only Lin Guangyuan was still jumping around excitedly.
He handed the boat to his father and asked with concern: "Are you okay? There is no island nearby to dock..."
Father Lin quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We'll just have to bear with it. Don't let us delay anything."
"It's okay. If you can't bear it, just tell me."
Mother Lin also tried hard to hold on and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay."
Since they all said so, Ye Yaodong went to the island as usual.
Lin Guangyuan came over and said, "You guys are so useless, aren't you? I don't even feel dizzy. Just hold on, we'll be there in a while."
Ye Yaodong patted his head and said, "Not bad, you are qualified to go to sea. You have met the basic requirements."
He had this stupid grin on his face!
As everyone was looking forward to it, the fishing boat finally docked at the island. Father and mother Lin vomited a lot, looked pale, and were helped off the boat with unsteady steps. They felt like they had lost half their life...
"After getting off the boat, I feel like my legs and feet are still shaking..."
Ye Yaodong laughed insincerely, "Some people get seasick like this. Sit by the reef and rest for a while."
"Wow, haha~ There are so many squids!" Lin Guangyuan jumped off the boat and excitedly shone the flashlight around.
"Here's the bucket for you. When it's full, pour it into the sack."
"Okay, right away."
He rushed out like a cannonball.
Seeing the half-exposed beach full of squids, Lin's father and mother could no longer sit still and immediately stood up to pick them up.
"Hey? Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
"No, no, we are fine..."
The two men each took a sack from the bucket and ran to pick up the trash with great energy.
Seeing how nimble they were, Ye Yaodong didn't care and asked Ye's father to go into the water to fish as well. He wanted to continue throwing in the branches that had just been made on the boat.
While he was launching the boat, A Zheng and Xiao Xiao also came over in their boat. They greeted each other and then went about their own business.
After Ye Yaodong had dropped all the branches, he returned to the island.
Father and Mother Lin were picking up the pieces while sighing that there were so many...
"If we pick up this much in a day, how much will we get?"
"I don't have to do anything all day, I can just pick up things on the island, I can even live here..."
"It's still better to be by the sea, there's no need to worry about food..."
"No wonder 20 or 30 years ago, people with nothing to eat ran to the beach..."
The weather was getting hotter, and the days were getting brighter earlier every day. Before five o'clock, the sky was already turning pale, and the birds in the woods began to move around.
Not far away, Lin's father and mother were still squatting there picking up the squids, but there were not many squids washed up on the sea, and most of them had been caught by them.
Lin Guangyuan became a little impatient. He was hanging around with the bucket in his hand, not picking up the snails seriously. He even ran to the reef to pick up snails.
At this time, A Zheng and Xiao Xiao also threw branches to the other side of the island and moved the boat over.
"Huh? Dongzi, you brought your father-in-law and mother-in-law out today?"
Ye Yaodong also shouted: "Aren't you thinking of letting them pick up some and take them back?"
"Just leave half a bag for them to take back. Why do you have to let them pick it up themselves?"
"What's the big deal? Only by working hard can you live longer. Have you already put down the branches?"
"Well, I thought I'd come over for breakfast and then go trawling, and then come back to catch squid in the afternoon."
"Damn, I'm so thoughtful. I even have to take care of your food and drink."
"It's a matter of having two more pairs of fast ones..."
Ye Yaodong cursed as he dragged the small bag of squid he had caught to the beach, scaring away a flock of seabirds along the way.
"Uncle, there are so many seabirds here..."
"What did you find on the rock wall? Go to the boat and get a bowl. Pry some oysters and cook some noodles for me."
"Okay, I have some clams I picked up here, as well as a lot of snails and water spinach."
Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead and said, "You're not doing your job."
He followed behind, grinning.
"You brought your eldest nephew here as a laborer as well? You really know how to make the best use of things."
"He begged to come to work, so I took him with me out of mercy."
"There's another fishing boat coming over there." Ah Zheng looked into the distance and said with a vigilant look.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the distant sea and saw the ship getting closer and closer, and then circling around the island.
"The people who are trying to grab the territory are here. Let's drive the boat over to take a look." Ye Yaodong said with a frown, and called his father who was fishing for squid to come along.
Sometimes you just have to rely on numbers.
They are weak and easily bullied. The reason why big ships can bully small ships is that there are more people on the big ships.
The two boats started, one on the left and one on the right, encircling the boat on the sea not far away.
Lin Guangyuan was so excited, "Uncle, are we going to fight? How many people are there on the other side?"
"Why are you so excited? What are you thinking about? I am a peace-loving person."
“But they’re here to grab territory.”
"Begin with courtesy before force, understand? If a fight really breaks out, you'll just be the scapegoat, why are you getting so excited?"
Right.
Hey, that's not right!
"We may have more people than him!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at him sideways. Where did this violent boy come from
