Directly giving out money has never happened before.
Who doesn’t honestly order mooncakes and tomb cakes
It wasn't until the money was in hand that the kids felt it was real.
It turned out that after the cakes were distributed, they actually gave out the money directly, without any deception.
The children held the coins in their hands, their faces flushed with excitement, and they were extremely happy. If they asked their mothers for a penny at home, they would be beaten or scolded. They didn't expect that they could get money by asking for grave cakes.
So happy~
Those who received money stood aside, jumping and dancing, and shared their food with others with excitement. However, those who did not receive any money and only received cakes beat their chests and stamped their feet. They were so jealous that the cakes in their hands no longer tasted good.
Father Ye's dark face was full of wrinkles as he smiled. "Dongzi, this idea of distributing money is good. It also saves us from wasting money if we order too much. These kids like money more."
"That's right. Who doesn't like money? I like money too." Ye's mother took over the conversation.
"Why are you everywhere?"
Mother Ye glanced at Father Ye sideways. Since they were outside, she decided not to bother with him for the time being.
Ye Yaodong was handing out coins one by one, with a large group of his own children surrounding him.
When he sent it to the last person, Ye Chenghai hurriedly lined up.
Ye Yaodong sent the last person to the queue, waved his hand, and asked him to leave. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you queuing up too?"
Now the others also reacted and quickly ran behind to line up.
Ye Chenghai spread out his palms and said flatteringly: "I am also a child, and I didn't say that I can't ask for tomb cakes from my own family, hehe, Third Uncle~"
As he spoke, he weighed his palms a few times and waited there, urging silently.
"What nonsense are you making? Why are you sending messages to your own family members?" Mrs. Ye quickly shouted.
"Of course we have to give it out. We are here to ask for grave cakes too. Mom, you can't discriminate against us just because we are a family."
“Send, send, send~” Ye Yaodong chuckled twice, “Of course I have to send it, I must send it, I can’t not send it!”
"That's right, if we all work together, we will definitely make a fortune."
Even Ye's father smiled and said, "It's going to be a success, it's going to be a success."
With support from others, they were even more excited after their little plan came true.
After Ye Yaodong distributed the gifts to them, he also distributed them to the children of Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye’s families.
We are all family members. If outsiders have received money, our family members have also received money. We cannot favor one over the other and exclude our family members. Everyone must get a share.
The atmosphere of the scene was pushed to its highest point. It can be said that everyone was happy and no one was unhappy.
After distributing the money, they packed up their things, carrying their brooms, hoes and sickles, and went back the way they came. However, the children on the mountain road were still in a happy mood and kept talking about them.
Praise them for being so nice, actually giving money directly, it would be even better if other families also gave money, etc...
Uncle Ye didn't say much for the whole morning. He just sat there silently as a background board. Everyone in their room was also silent. After all, there were two people in jail, and no one could stand up straight in front of others.
Second Uncle Ye, on the other hand, kept chatting with Father Ye with a smile on his face, trying to improve their relationship. He walked beside Father Ye all the way up and down the mountain, praising the three brothers Ye Yaodong from head to toe without feeling embarrassed at all.
Several brothers from the second branch have always been with Ye Yaodong and his two brothers. Although they are not as smooth and good at speaking as Ye Erbo, and they all look honest, they chat and laugh together, and it looks quite harmonious.
However, no matter how harmonious they are, after going down the mountain, they still have to go back to their own homes and have no food to eat.
Unlike later, after sweeping the tombs, we would book a few tables at the hotel and have a meal together with the whole family, clinking glasses, having fun and strengthening relationships and bragging.
Of course, the children did not go down the mountain with the adults. After sweeping the graves at home, they had to make use of the remaining time. There was still plenty of time left, and the tomb cakes they collected would definitely be theirs and would not be confiscated.
Tomb cakes are also a very good snack and can fill your stomach. Nowadays, children are greedy and want to eat everything.
Ye Yaodong also realized that his child had disappeared when he was halfway there. "Very good, I can save two more mouthfuls of food today."
"Haha, are you still short of food for the children?" Ye Yaosheng joked with a smile.
"How can there be no shortage? The rice in my house wasn't blown in by the wind. We have to go out to buy it, so of course there is a shortage."
Ye Yaosheng smiled and didn't bring up the topic anymore. Instead, he talked about work. "Now that the weather is getting warmer, you're planning to haul the nets, right? You don't need to hire anyone, right?"
"should be."
"Okay, then I'll hire someone else to work on the ship for two or three months."
"If there's work for you, just go ahead and don't worry about me. If I'm going to hire someone next time, it should be in July or August when we go to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish. If it's trawling or longline fishing, my dad and I can do it."
Ye Yaosheng nodded. Because he owed Ye Yaodong money, he always thought that if there was any work, he would give it to him first.
The others beside him were very interested and interrupted, "Last year, you went to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish. Dongzi, you made a lot of money, right?"
"Everyone said you made thousands of dollars on that trip. Is that true?"
"Is it true?"
"If a few brothers build a power boat, can we go with you?"
He said that if he went to Zhejiang Province, many ships would definitely want to follow him. He didn't expect that they would get the chance to ask him so soon. They had already made their plans before there was even a ship.
Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "It's still more than half a year away. It's too early to know what the situation is. It's too early to talk about it now. July and August have the most typhoons. Who knows how strong or severe the typhoons will be? I heard that last year, due to the typhoon, fishing didn't start until August. We'll talk about it then."
"Then can you please take us with you and tell us for sure? We can talk about the weather and typhoon later."
"How can I give you a guarantee? Can I still promise you that I will take you to your destination safely and escort you throughout the journey?"
Ye Yaodong was a little unhappy. These people were not his responsibility. They were just relatives who were both familiar and unfamiliar to him. Although they were his brothers, he also had many cousins. There were more than 20 people. Did he have to take care of all of them
He hadn't even taken care of his own little piece of land, so why did he take on this for nothing? And if he had given his word and confirmed that he would bring them along, then it would be his responsibility. What if something happened? His second uncle would have to rely on their family to suck his blood.
"We didn't ask for an escort, we just want you to follow us when the time comes."
"If you want to follow me, I can't stop you. The sea is not my home. If you want to follow me, just follow me. But if you want me to give you a definite promise and take you to the place, I can't give it to you."
"There are always unexpected events in this world. How can I dare to give you a definite answer? If you want to follow me, then that is your own personal wish."
If he brings this person along, he will have no chance of getting any good things. If anything bad happens, he will be the first one his family will look for.
"Also, going to Zhejiang Province is not like what you imagine, where you can just fish and pick up money. Most of the villages there are very xenophobic."
"Going to their place to catch jellyfish is no less than robbing them of their money. If you are surrounded and beaten at sea, that would be terrible. Even if you haven't offended anyone, but you are an outsider, this is the biggest potential risk."
"I have to make it clear to you that this money is earned with your life, it's not as easy as you think. It's a good thing that you two are partnering up to buy a ship, but what are you going to do when the time comes? You have to think it over first."
His trip last year could be considered lucky. After all, there were only a few of their boats going that long. It was also the first time, and many villages had not yet reacted. Before they could think much about it, they had already moved their positions. Later, they simply lived on an isolated island to ensure their safety for the next few days.
We can’t stay in those villages this year.
Seeing that they were stunned and frowned after listening to what he said, Ye Yaodong stopped talking.
Anyway, I have said almost everything that needs to be said, so it is up to you to consider it yourself.
"That doesn't seem very safe."
Ye Yaosheng also helped to speak up, "It's not safe in the first place. It's not that easy to go to someone else's territory to make money. We were in danger at the time. We were almost caught red-handed once. We even had a fight at night. Fortunately, we reacted quickly and escaped in time, otherwise you might not have seen us."
"You can buy a boat first. It will only take a few months, so there's no rush." Ye Yaodong said sincerely.
"Let's talk about it later. It won't be that quick to buy a ship in such a short period of time. We need to discuss it again..."
"Yes, we need to discuss it..."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about them anymore. As they walked into the village, he took A Qing and quickly went home.
