Lin Xiuqing watched him take a shower at the back door and stood by the door muttering, "I told you to walk around to digest your food and then take a shower and go to bed, but you went out and didn't come back..."
"I knew I had to leave for the city at night, but I just came back drunk. It's already 9 o'clock. There's no need to sleep now..."
"Why don't you drink at any time? Why do you have to go out to drink at night? You can drink when you come back tomorrow. You haven't slept all night. Let's see if you can handle it tomorrow?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at her without saying a word. He followed her muttering, wrung out a towel, grabbed both ends, put them on his back, and rubbed it back and forth.
"Let me rub it for you."
"Well, how many children are asleep?"
"He fell asleep. Each of them chewed a spoonful of malted milk and then fell asleep contentedly." Lin Xiuqing wrung out a towel, spread it on his back, and rubbed it up and down on his back, responding.
"Well, that's good."
Lin Xiuqing looked at his back in confusion and continued to rub it for him. After he finished rubbing, she put the towel in the basin and let him continue washing himself.
Ye Yaodong suddenly hugged her from behind.
The hot naked chest pressed against her back, and the strong arms were wrapped around her waist, holding her in his arms, which scared her.
"What are you doing?"
"Hug you!" Ye Yaodong whispered in her ear.
"Nerd, let go quickly, don't let anyone see it."
"It's late at night, in the dark, who could see us?"
"Don't mess around..."
"You wish! I just want a hug... ah..."
Lin Xiuqing stepped on him, broke free from his arms, glared at him fiercely in the dark, then turned and went into the house without paying any attention to him.
Mad!
Just tease her!
Ye Yaodong laughed from behind. The dim orange light in the room set off her back and she walked faster.
He quickly put the towel into his crotch and rubbed it, then picked up the basin, rinsed his thighs, and wiped them casually, and that was it.
I have to go into the house and comfort her quickly, there is still something I haven’t said.
After locking the front and back doors and pulling the electrical cord, he quickly went into the house and went to bed with his wife.
"Are you angry? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
"Shut up! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb." Lin Xiuqing turned around angrily and glared at him.
A nasty man will misinterpret her meaning.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I have something to tell you." Ye Yaodong held her in his arms and said seriously.
"Don't get so close to me. You're not hot, but I am. Why are you hugging me in the middle of summer? It's so hot. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't think of any crooked ideas."
"I didn't have any bad thoughts. I just wanted to talk to you properly. I've never done this. This way..."
Lin Xiuqing slapped his hand away and said, "Speak properly."
Ye Yaodong honestly let go of his hand, and this time he really corrected his attitude and said seriously: "I'm serious, wife, let's buy another shop."
Lin Xiuqing was startled and was about to speak when her mouth was covered by his big hand.
"Don't talk, just listen to me."
"We bought a shop, but there's not enough for our two sons to share. What if they start fighting? Don't you agree?"
"Look, we still have about 5,000 yuan on hand. If we buy another one, we will have more than 2,000 yuan left, which is enough for expenses. And this money is not due until the end of the year. We just need to pay another 500 yuan deposit. I still have more than half a year to earn more, so I can have a little more left at the end of the year..."
He then talked about how everyone was rushing to buy it, and then continued to paint a rosy picture and talk about the prospects...
After she couldn't help but slap his hand away, he quickly said, "No matter how bad it is, we still have so much gold and treasures. Spending another 3,000 yuan to buy a shop is nothing, right?"
Lin Xiuqing originally wanted to say something, but after hearing this, she felt that it made some sense.
Seeing that she did not refute immediately, Ye Yaodong was also happy, and continued, "Our gold cakes are worth a lot of money, and we also have Melo pearls, one large and two small pearls, dog-head gold, and ambergris..."
She said unhappily, "Except for the gold cakes, which are real and can be exchanged for money, oh... and the pearls, aren't the other things just what you said, they will be valuable in the future? Who knows if they will be valuable in the future?"
"Believe me! Look, it hasn't been long since I got so many good things and made so much money. I will continue to make more money in the future. Anyway, we have enough money to spend, so it's fine as long as we can use it in an emergency. So why don't we buy another shop?"
"It's up to you. You earn the money anyway!"
Now it was Ye Yaodong's turn to be surprised. He originally wanted to keep trying to persuade her, and even planned to do it himself if it didn't work. However, this was also a last resort, and he couldn't use this trick every day.
If you use the beauty trap every day, it will no longer be effective after doing it too many times.
After all, there is a long way to go, sustainable development is the way to go, and my wife is not yet at the age of being as aggressive as a wolf or a tiger.
"What? No reaction, so you don't want to buy it anymore? Then forget it."
"Buy it! Of course I'll buy it! I didn't expect you to be so understanding tonight. It really surprises me. I have no way to repay you, so I can only give you my body..."
Ye Yaodong happily pressed forward, but she kicked him away.
"What are you doing? Save some energy and take a nap. Rest for a while and sleep for a while. You will have to get up again soon."
"Why take a nap during this time? I'm young and strong, so I'm not afraid."
"If you don't listen, don't buy it."
"All right."
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to lie back down, mumbling a few words, "I ate a lot of pork kidneys tonight. I wanted to come back and show off."
Lin Xiuqing felt angry and amused at the same time, "Shut up."
"Well, I'll take a nap for half an hour. Call me when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll go boil two eggs for you first."
Ye Yaodong was indeed sleepy. As soon as Lin Xiuqing sat up, he started snoring softly.
It felt like he had just fallen asleep, but then he heard the sound of a tractor outside his house and woke him up instantly.
He opened and closed his eyes. After several minutes, Lin Xiuqing pushed the door open and he opened his eyes and sat up.
"Is the tractor coming?"
"Here they are. The elder and second brothers next door have both gotten up and come over to help carry the goods."
"Yes, I will come."
"It's windy tonight. It feels like it's going to rain. You should bring your raincoat and hat. It won't be hard to carry them if you put them on the tractor."
Lin Xiuqing packed the eggs for him, counted the money again and put it in the secret pocket of his shorts, and asked him to change.
"Then take one."
After Ye Yaodong got dressed, he went in. His elder and second brothers had already loaded all his goods onto the tractor, leaving only the crabs still being kept outside the dock.
"Go get the crabs outside the pier first. You'll have to come back later. I have the key to Ah Cai's hut. After I get the crabs, I'll give the key back to Ah Qing and ask her to return it to Ah Cai's wife tomorrow morning."
"OK."
This time on the trip to the city, Ye Yaodong no longer felt anything new. He just felt drowsy due to the bumpy ride. He closed his eyes and dozed off in a half-asleep state.
Only Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were excited and thrilled, just like when Zhou Jialan's brothers went there the day before, they were both nervous and expectant.
When we got to the city and outside the wholesale market, they had the same reaction.
Ye Yaodong met the old man again that day. He took out the eggs from the cloth bag and walked over.
"Uncle, you're here to sell razor clams again. Where are you from? Why do you come to the wholesale market every day?"
The old man waved his hand and didn't want his eggs. He smiled and said, "Eat them yourself. I've eaten them. Why are you selling scallops again?"
"No, today I'm selling some miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crabs. Do you raise clams? Why do you have such a large basket of clams?"
"I dug these in front of my house. The typhoon just passed these few days, and there were a lot of clams on our beach. My wife and I dug them and came here to sell them together."
“Why don’t you let young people come and sell it?”
"They all have other things to do during the day. We old people don't sleep much at our age, so we can just come. It's not far away anyway. It only takes more than an hour to walk there."
Ye Yaodong, who had nothing better to do, started chatting with him and waited for the market to open, while his two brothers looked around curiously.
After entering, they became even more curious.
Moreover, the temperature in the market has gradually dropped. This is because the seafood is displayed, and the ice inside has affected the temperature of the space.
"Where should we buy a shop?"
"Wait till daybreak to find the person at that transaction point. The supervisor is not here now."
The two waited patiently in the market and learned about the market conditions.
Ye Yaopeng was pleasantly surprised after he came back from a walk, "Adong, our red-tailed bird fish is sold at 78 cents per pound in the market, which is 15 cents more expensive than what you bought yesterday."
"Wouldn't a 28-jin fish be worth 4 yuan more?" Ye Yaohua was shocked. "What a huge difference."
"Shh~"
