Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady helplessly, "Grandma, I'm grown up now, not a child anymore. Don't steal eggs again next time. If my mother finds out, she will skin me alive!"
"It's okay. If you don't tell her, she won't know. Go out and play for a while, and come back after you eat."
Alas, in the old lady's eyes, he is still a child!
"Go, go, go play, don't stand at the door."
Under her urging, he had no choice but to go out. He had originally planned to go and see A Guang, and now he felt more anxious.
He was eager to make money and buy removable dentures for the old lady. He wanted to do it as soon as possible. Given her age, even if she didn't fall, she wouldn't have many years left to live.
He got up a little early today, and when he arrived at A Guang's house, he was still asleep.
"What time is it?" Ah Guang was still hugging the quilt, not yet awake, and spoke in a hazy voice.
"I left home at 6:30, so it should be around 6:40 now!"
"Ah?" Guang looked up in disbelief and opened one eye. "Are you crazy? It's only what time now and you don't have to work. Why are you here so early in the morning?"
"I told you to get up and pee!"
"Fuck, do you want something hot to drink? Get out!" He pulled the sheet over his head.
Ye Yaodong pulled the corner of the bed sheet and said, "Get up, the sun is already high in the sky. Can you get up tomorrow and go to work at Yujing Wharf?"
"Don't bother me, tomorrow is tomorrow's business! Did you take aphrodisiac today? Why are you up so early?"
"Early to bed and early to rise makes a healthy body. Hurry up and go borrow a boat!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only a few hours now. The tide won't recede until noon. Don't bother me. I won't borrow it if you continue to bother me." Ah Guang snatched the sheet from his hand, pressed it under him, and clamped his legs tightly around the sheet, continuing to close his eyes.
"Why are you holding the quilt? You're not a woman."
"What does clamping the quilt have to do with being a woman? Can't men clamp the quilt?"
"You don't understand this, do you? Hurry up, little brat, and I'll tell you when you get up."
Ah Guang was so annoyed by his noise that he scratched his messy hair and sat up. "Fuck it, I don't want to know. Are you annoying? Now that I have borrowed it, I can't go there right away. The tide hasn't receded yet."
"Then at least I can know sooner whether I can borrow it!"
"I'm impressed by you. Did you take the wrong medicine these past two days? You're so eager to go out to sea!"
"Well, I'm crazy about money. You're awake anyway, so don't sleep any more. Go get up and ask."
Ah Guang was also annoyed by him. He had no idea what to do with him, so he simply got up and put on his clothes, muttering, "That's enough. How can I be your brother? You keep me awake so early in the morning. Isn't it nicer to sleep at home with my wife in my arms?"
"My wife is up, my whole family is up!"
"And then I have to get up too?"
Ye Yaodong looked at his resentful eyes and put his arm around his shoulder with a smile, "We are good brothers, shouldn't you share my concerns?"
Ah Guang glanced at him sideways, and when he was not paying attention, he opened his mouth and blew a breath at him...
Ye Yaodong's eyes tightened, and his facial features wrinkled into a ball in an instant. He covered his mouth and nose with his hands and jumped to the side quickly, "Fuck... You are too much... Fuck..."
"This breath of immortal energy can extend your life by ten years. No need to thank me!"
"Fuck you, I must have shortened my life by twenty years because of you!"
Ah Guang was a little smug, he just 'casually' avenged his early wake-up call, this was a lucky coincidence for him~
"Who told you to come and disturb my sleep so early in the morning? I am also grumpy when I wake up!"
"Fuck, you're not just in a bad mood just because you woke up, you're filled with miasma and poison. You're suffocating me, fjjigerzn¥&;*％～" Ye Yaodong cursed a few times and went to wait at the door.
If we stay close to him, who knows what other unknown gases will be released!
As a result, he sat at the door and waited for a long time but didn't see A Guang come out, so he had to go in again, only to see him standing at the back door, holding up his pants and tying his belt.
"You just finished pooping, right? It's been so long, just come over and eat."
Ah Guang glared, "Please add the word 'food'! I'm just here to eat!"
With a smile in his eyes, he said, "It's the same. Come and eat it. It's still hot and just right for your mouth!"
"You $&d\\£%gu¥¥&*~ I'll eat when I come back!" Ah Guang cursed and walked out directly. How could he not know this guy? He just disliked his dawdling and urged him to borrow the boat in disguise. He even said such disgusting words.
Ye Yaodong sat at the table with his legs crossed and waited. A Guang's aunt's home was not far from his, and they were also marrying from the same village.
He was thinking that he was free anyway, and since he was already up, he might as well ask earlier so that he could feel at ease sooner. He really thought that there must be more goods on the isolated island than at the dock, and thinking of his recent good luck, he was a little excited.
After waiting patiently for less than half an hour, A Guang came back.
"My aunt and uncle agreed to lend it to me, but the old man in the family refused. I said we would rent it from her and pay her two dollars for half a day at noon, and we would pay for the gas ourselves. Only then did the old man agree to lend the boat to me."
The average worker earns less than 2 yuan a day, and he has to pay for the gas to rent a machine for half a day, so 2 yuan is not a small amount.
"Well, it's okay. Brothers, let's settle the accounts clearly. It's only right for the old man to calculate the money. This is mine. I happen to have two dollars here." It happened that he felt his pocket yesterday and found two dollars in it. He wanted to buy cigarettes but couldn't bear to do so.
Ah Guang pushed it back directly, "Hey, what are you giving me? It's just two dollars. I'll pay it, it doesn't matter. It just so happens that I won a few dollars playing cards yesterday."
"Let's be honest. I asked you to borrow the boat, so of course it's mine. Take it. It's only two dollars."
"I've already given it to you, so forget it. I'll just use the two dollars to buy diesel."
"All right then."
There really isn't much money, so there's no need to push it around. It's just right to use it to buy diesel.
Ah Guang put one foot on the stool and picked up the bowl, "Now I can eat breakfast in peace, right
"Go ahead and eat. I'm not stopping you. You're just impatient." Ye Yaodong sat in a recliner nearby, shaking his feet and grinning.
Ah Guang rolled his eyes at him.
"The tide should be low by 12 o'clock, so you should go to the dock early, around 10:30 to buy diesel. I will go with you to start the boat then."
"Okay, no problem. I have nothing to do right now. I'll go back first. If Zheng and the others come over later, tell them."
"It's something that can be done in a few minutes, but you have to come and wake me up so early." A Guang was very resentful. He rarely got up so early unless there was something important.
"I'm training you, otherwise what will you do if you can't get up when you go to work at the dock? If you're really bored, why don't you lie down again?"
"roll!"
"okay!"
