In just a few days since he came, Lin's father and mother had already sold several hundred dollars. It was too much money, which made them restless all night and they had to hide it everywhere.
Father Lin found a sack from a pile of dried fish, and then rummaged in it for a long time before taking out a cloth bag.
"It's hidden pretty well."
"I have to hide it. With so much money, I'm afraid it will be stolen or beaten up. I can't sleep at night because of the worry. I have to go to the corners to feel around in the middle of the night. If you take it back, I can feel more at ease and sleep well tonight."
As he said that, he stuffed it into Ye Yaodong's arms.
When Ye Yaodong took it, he felt it was heavy and almost couldn't hold it properly.
"Hold it steady. There are coins and banknotes in it. I haven't taken it out in a few days. It's heavy."
"How many hundreds? Have you counted them?" He lifted the cloth bag in his hand and weighed it. It was quite heavy.
"I have a count. I earn more than 100 every day. The most is more than 130, and the least is more than 100. The amount gets bigger and bigger later, and it's too troublesome to calculate. I can't remember the exact amount. I only remember how much money I sold every day, and I didn't deliberately add up the total."
"Anyway, they're all put in. There's probably about 600 in these five days. Can you pour them out and count them yourself? The ones sold today were extra and not added in. I just gave them to you."
"Okay, there's no need to count. There are so many, I don't know how long I'll have to count them. I'll take them back and then I'll count them slowly with A-Qing."
Ye Yaodong put a large bag of coins on the small bed next to him, and continued to take off his cotton-padded jacket, revealing his cloth bag from inside his clothes, and then poured the bag of money into it.
Crash, crash!
Heavy, heavy!
He didn't know how many coins and banknotes there were, the cloth bag was almost full. Ye Yaodong stuffed the banknotes back into the bag. Fortunately, Ah Qing had sewed a button on it, so he could button it up and the money wouldn't fall out easily.
Fortunately, it is winter now, and I can wrap myself in clothes and a big cotton-padded jacket, so no one can see it. Otherwise, if it were summer, it would be exposed in a minute.
"Be careful and hide yourself. Don't let anyone see you. There are too many thieves around this market. You'd better go home right now and don't run around..."
"I know. I'm just going to go back. There's nothing else to do. I still have to weigh the goods when I get back. I'm still busy."
Father Lin nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let's go back directly. I'll watch over here. I'll call you if there's anything. If you go back now, it will probably be around noon when you get home, so the journey will be a little safer."
Ye Yaodong nodded, wrapped his cotton jacket tightly, tidied it up, and walked out only after he felt that it was no longer noticeable.
"Then I'll go back first. If the small village across the street agrees to rent a house tomorrow, give me a call. I can bring some more dried fish over to stockpile."
"Okay, be careful on your way back."
After Ye Yaodong went out, he searched for a long time before he found Lao Zhoutou at a stall outside. He was looking at a handful of dried shrimps, as if asking the price.
"What are you doing, Uncle Zhou? Want to buy dried shrimps?"
"I just saw it. It looks pretty big and tastes light and not salty. It's pretty good..."
"What are you buying? I'll give you a basket when I get back. Do you still need to buy this? I'll give you a basket when I get back. Let's go..."
Old Zhou was hooked on the shoulder by him, so he could only put down the dried shrimps and follow him. "I didn't see you selling dried shrimps, only dried fish."
"My friend has some. I'll go back and get some for you."
Uncle Pei's friend had brought back several bags before. He was going to buy some, but then forgot about it. When he remembered, he felt that he didn't have time to come over right away. If he bought them, they would just take up space at home. He thought that when he collected the dried fish, if he had any left, he would buy some more. Anyway, the quantity was not that much.
I'll go back and ask people to buy some for Uncle Zhou. No matter how much they sell, we'll always have some left for ourselves.
“Then I just saved this money…”
"Yes, you should spend when you should and save when you should, otherwise your wife will get angry. My brother's dried dancai and dried oysters seem to be almost dried today. I'll collect them and give you some when the time comes."
"Okay! Then I won't be polite with you..."
"Why are you being so polite? I'm counting on you..."
"It's okay. The Mazu Temple is almost finished and there's not much work to do. I've been sitting there doing nothing every day. I've been thinking whether I should be ruthless and buy this tractor from the team. I can then go out and pick up customers, take on some work, etc..."
“What? The brigade wants to sell this tractor…” Ye Yaodong was surprised.
"I did hear Secretary Chen say that the production team had been disbanded for several years, and the Mazu Temple was almost completed, so the tractors were not of much use to the government now..."
As the two walked further and further away, Ye Yaodong's heart began to liven up again.
This government tractor is for sale, so he must buy it!
It is better to rely on yourself than on others!
What others have is not as good as what you have.
It is not as convenient as having things delivered to one's home if one relies on others all day long. If one has a tractor, he won't have to ask others to deliver things to him all day long, and it will be more convenient for him to go back and forth by himself.
Besides, this tractor was bought not long ago, so it should be no problem to drive it for another 10 or 20 years.
Tractors are very practical these days, so it is definitely cost-effective to buy one. Moreover, if you buy it from the village, there will definitely be a discount, so it cannot be considered expensive.
When he got on the tractor, he was still thinking that he would definitely talk to Secretary Chen more and ask more questions when he got back. If such a good thing happened, he must be given priority and could not be taken advantage of by others.
As soon as he got home, he immediately pulled A Qing into the house. A Qing thought he had something urgent to do.
"Did he get robbed again? Was he robbed?"
"What are you thinking about? Can't you think of something positive?" Ye Yaodong speechlessly stretched out his index finger and poked her forehead hard.
Lin Xiuqing's forehead instantly turned red. She reached out and touched it, wondering, "I saw you hurriedly pulling me into the house as soon as you jumped out of the car. Of course I thought something happened to you, and I panicked."
"Don't panic, your man has made a fortune again, and I asked you to come in and count the money."
"It's not like I haven't counted the times I've seen you so anxious. You suddenly got out of the car and hurriedly pulled me into the house. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about it."
"Is it my fault?"
"Of course!"
"Don't be so impatient and want to satisfy your body's needs."
Lin Xiuqing almost laughed out of his rage and punched him several times, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you just do that last night?"
"What is that?"
"Get lost! Shame on you."
"We have to eat the food we had yesterday! The best time for a man to do things is before 30. After 30, he needs to eat more. You have to take advantage of me..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Xiuqing was both angry and amused, but she was also afraid that he would get more excited as he continued talking. She was a shameless person to begin with, so she deliberately put on a stern face.
"Don't move!"
After shouting again, she took the initiative to move forward, hugged his waist, and reached her hand into his clothes.
"What are you doing? Where are you touching in broad daylight? Are you ashamed? You were mean to me just now, and now you're touching me again..."
Ye Yaodong pretended to dodge twice, but he honestly held her hand, not letting her let go, and asked her to touch as much as possible inside her clothes...
"Hate it, what are you talking about? Let go..."
"You don't admit to touching me."
"I touched the money..."
"Touching is 88 cents, kissing is 8.8 yuan, sex is 88..." He said while holding her waist and pressing her against his lower body.
"Get out of here, do you still want to make money from me?" Lin Xiuqing glared at him and hit him twice.
Ye Yaodong held her little hand and said with a smug smile, "Where? I'm the one making money for you. I'm paying for it. I'm paying you. I'm saving this big bag of money for you to make money for you."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh and glared at him in reproach, "You wish..."
"If someone wants to make money from me, I won't let them make money, I'll just make money for you."
Her brows furrowed instantly, she glared at him angrily, stretched out her hands and twisted the flesh on his lower back, "Tell me, who is she? Who wants to earn your money?"
"Hiss~ No, no, I just said that, no one wants to make money from me, isn't everything I earn yours? Hey, let go~"
woman!
He just said it casually.
It's really a mouthful of trouble, it's really asking for trouble. I just wanted to give her money, but I still have such thoughts.
Hey, you are quite powerful...
"All for you, all for you, all yours, 88 cents, 8.8 yuan, 88 yuan, aren't they all yours? Who can snatch it from you?"
"Hmph, why don't you take off your clothes?"
"Right now, right now. Isn't it easy for me to take off my clothes? Just say a word and I can take them off right now."
Even after they surrendered, he still didn't forget to say a few more words.
"Do you want to take it off too?"
“Ahh~”
Ye Yaodong was hit several times again and hid in a corner...
"Stop, stop, stop. I'll take it off. Is it okay if I take it off?"
At this time, a little man was looking out the door, and curiously stretched his head through the crack of the door, "What are you taking off, Dad?"
"Shh, go play."
Instantly the door was closed by the old lady again...
Do you really need to be so socially dead
!
Lin Xiuqing's face turned red and she immediately ran to the door, but it was already closed tightly.
Ye Yaodong, however, laughed so hard that he threw his cotton jacket onto the railing, slapped his thighs, and laughed so hard that he almost couldn't straighten his back.
Originally, the couple were just playing, flirting and joking behind closed doors, and they were enjoying it. However, it became awkward when the children and the old lady heard it.
Lin Xiuqing was so embarrassed that her scalp went numb and she wished she could get a three-bedroom apartment.
What A-Dong said just now was so ambiguous, it made it seem like she couldn't wait, ahhh...
She walked up to him and hit him hard twice, laughing and scolding, "It's all your fault. You just talk nonsense every day. Look, I heard it all..."
Ye Yaodong hugged her and kissed her hard, then laughed twice, "What's the matter? The child is young and naive, and the old lady is old, it's okay."
"Of course you're okay..."
"Haha, I'm definitely fine. I'm being naughty to my own wife, what's the big deal?"
"You still say that!"
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up..."
