"The squid season can last for another ten days or half a month, right?"
"That's about right. After a few days of high flooding, it will decrease. If you go there at night, let Dad keep an eye on it. He knows all these twists and turns and can make judgments."
Ye Yaodong closed the drawer and sat down beside the bed, saying, "Why does my daughter sleep every day? When I see her, she is rarely awake."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him in reproach, "Children need to sleep to grow fast. How much time do you spend at home all day? She is still young, so of course she eats and sleeps, then eats and sleeps."
He felt a little regretful and wanted to be hugged and comforted. If he didn't cry, there would be no one to hug or comfort him. What a pity.
"You said you would buy a movie box for the old lady. Have you bought it yet?"
"I told you that the person wasn't home yesterday, so I left a message. I don't know if it will be delivered today."
"Then go to sleep first. If it's delivered after dark, I'll give the money to mom and let her pay."
"Well, if it's delivered, remember to tell her not to talk too much."
"I know."
Ye Yaodong looked at the child for a while and saw that she was sleeping soundly. She smacked her lips from time to time and he couldn't help but smile.
"Then I'm going to bed."
He came back early in the afternoon and was busy fighting and selling machines. He didn't even have time to take a nap. It wasn't even dark yet and he felt a little exhausted.
At the door, Ye's mother was still plucking feathers from seabirds, while Lin's father and mother and several children were sorting shells. He went over and said, "I'm going to sleep now. I won't have dinner. Don't wake me up. When I wake up, I can just get up and have a bowl of soup."
"Then I'll warm it in the pot later. You and your father can eat it when you get up." Ye's mother looked up and responded.
Lin's father and mother will go back early tomorrow morning. They don't have to go out to sea at night. They can still carry some loads and sort the goods. Only when they finish their work can they sleep peacefully.
They have already made so much money from their in-laws, how can they just throw the work to others and go to sleep
Ye Yaodong yawned and went back to the house to sleep on the floor. Lin Guangyuan felt tired after the excitement, so they went back to the house one after the other.
As soon as he lay down, Ye Yaodong said a few words to Lin Guangyuan and then fell asleep.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were repeatedly told not to disturb their father's sleep.
Ye Yaodong got up at night and looked around. When there was no wind or waves, he went out to sea again. Now they were racing against time to make money. No matter how tired they were, as long as there was no wind or waves and it was suitable for going out to sea, they had to go. They didn't have such a high income every day, so they had to be proactive in making money.
After getting on the boat, Ye's father started burning talismans again. Yesterday, someone came to his house and had a fight with him. He was a little worried and afraid that there would be another accident at sea. Many times, man-made disasters are more deadly than natural disasters.
He burned one for himself and Ye Yaodong respectively, and recited a few words of assurance of safety in the local dialect before setting sail with peace of mind.
That day went smoothly without any accidents.
When he got home in the evening, he was scolded again.
"Why are you two so generous? Ah Qing never looked like a generous person. You must have drugged her with some kind of drug. As soon as you have some money, you spend it recklessly and can't save it. It really makes me so angry."
"If you can't save money, just give it to me. I'll save it for you so you don't spend it recklessly. You bought a sewing machine secretly, which is very useful, but you also bought a bicycle. I don't know when you got a watch, and now you even bought a music box. You have everything now with three turns and one ring..."
"Everyone in the village who has some money is holding on tightly, not willing to spend this or buy that, but you are the ones who are spending lavishly. You are not even going to get married, yet you have bought everything..."
When Ye's mother saw Ye Yaodong coming back, she started complaining non-stop and felt very distressed that such a large amount of money had been spent like that.
She had taken a day off and was listening with great interest, but when she saw him coming back, she couldn't help but want to scold him. A prodigal son is still a prodigal son even when he grows up, and he wants to buy everything when he has some money.
Oh my god, it hurts just thinking about it.
Ye Yaodong had just put down the cart when he heard his mother chattering. He was completely confused and had no idea what had happened. He only understood after she spoke.
It turned out that the radio was delivered last night. His mother's old illness came back and she was feeling stingy with money again.
"Mom, I'm so tired. As soon as I got back, you scolded me. Don't you feel sorry for your son?"
"I just feel sorry for you. It's not easy to save money. You have to spend it wisely. I see that you have one more mouth to feed at home, but you don't know how to save money. There will be many more places to spend money in the future..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop reading. Just tell me, have you been sitting at home listening to the radio all day today?"
Ye's mother immediately glanced at him unhappily and stopped talking.
Ye Yaodong grinned and stretched out his hand to pinch his mother's shoulders, "Does it sound good?"
Mother Ye slapped his hand away and glared at him, "You don't feel bad at all, you buy everything."
"Just tell me if it sounds good or not?"
The old lady also came out of the house at this time, her face was happy and complaining, "Why did you spend this money again? Your mother said that this was bought for 90 yuan, so much money, how could you bear to spend it? Ah Qing also said that you bought it specially for me to listen to opera to kill time, I am an old man, why did you spend this money on me."
"Sounds good, right? It's only 90 bucks. I make a lot more every day now."
"Yes, you can earn so much every day!" Ye's mother asked back unhappily.
“I can earn more later!”
"Boast!"
The old lady said happily: "Yes, you will definitely earn more in the future."
Ye Yaodong put his arm around the old lady's shoulders and walked into the house. "You understand me, so don't feel bad. Anyway, I can make more money in the future. Last year you were 80 years old, and I didn't have money to celebrate your birthday. This radio is your 80th birthday gift. When you are 90 years old, I will hold a big birthday party for you."
The old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Okay, okay, our Dongzi is a big moneymaker, so I have to work hard to live well and live to 90 so that you can celebrate my birthday and enjoy my life."
Ye's mother followed behind them carrying the goods they brought back. When she heard the conversation between the grandmother and grandson, she pursed her lips and was fooled by this guy again.
She even suspected that the old lady came out to help him on purpose.
Ye's father was confused and couldn't get a word in. He finally understood what was going on. He frowned and asked Ye's mother, "What radio are you talking about? Did Dongzi buy it? When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"
"I asked Lin Ji to help me buy it. He said he sent it to me just after he came back last night. I don't know when their relationship became so good that I could ask him to help me buy this big thing and even pay for it. I have no choice but to accept it."
Father Ye took a look at the old lady, whose face was wrinkled and gums were exposed due to her smile, and sighed, "Just buy it, okay? The old lady can eat it for a few years, so just treat it as a way to kill time. You can listen to it when you have nothing to do."
"You want to hear it, too?"
"How can you talk like that? How long can I stay at home all day long?"
"Hehe, no one feels sorry for me, only I do."
“It doesn’t cost you any money.”
"Then I feel bad too!"
A woman is a woman.
Father Ye was also very curious about the music box, so he stopped chatting with Mother Ye and quickly followed her into the house.
