Chapter 1090: Determine the Approximate Time

Ye Yaodong had a meal and sat at Director Chen's house, chatted for a few words and then left so as not to disturb others' lunch break. Anyway, the purpose of the trip was achieved and the reward was received.

Father Ye was also very happy. As soon as he went out, he couldn't help but said: "You have already hung two flags on the wall. Now you have a red book and a pen as a reward. It's so glorious. I didn't expect that I just caught a bomb." There will be rewards when you come up.”

"Of course, that is also a strategic material, and it belongs to the enemy. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it must be praised for handing it over. It cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the fishermen. I heard that the fishermen in the South China Sea are chasing after foreign fishing boats to fish for treasures. Hand in hand, that’s called honor, what do I think?”

"Is it true or false? It's what the newspaper said?"

"yes."

"I didn't expect that there is everything in the sea, there are so many different things."

"I don't even think about it. 70% of the world's ocean area is occupied by land. In ancient times, many ships sank into the sea. Aren't there many treasures in the sea?"

Aguang also agreed, "Isn't it? In the past two years, a lot of porcelain was salvaged from the sea near our village."

"Don't you still have that thing for diving? I got another set some time ago. I'll take a look at it when I go into the water. Maybe there are any good things."

Ye's father was very excited, and after tasting the sweetness, he no longer felt that it was dangerous to go underwater, and he even thought about letting him go into the water again.

"The sea area where we are trawling is too deep now. I don't even know how deep it is, a few hundred meters deep. I can only go down to ten or twenty meters at most."

"Then if you see any deserted islands or small islands, go into the water nearby and take a look. The sea around the islands shouldn't be very deep."

"Look, it's not just offshore. The open sea is endless, and it's not that easy to find an island in the middle of the sea."

The three of them were talking while walking. When they reached the tractor, Aguang said again: "Let's go to the market now? Pick up the things you left in the store, and then go to the village."

"Well, let's go, finish things early, and get home before dark."

When they went to the store to unload the goods in the morning, they left the gift they wanted to give to the village head of Xinghua Zhongcun in the store first, so that they would not have to carry the items with them while running around, which would be easily stolen on the tractor. .

It was still noon, the hottest time of the day when the sun was at its strongest, and the village committee had not yet gone to work. Ye Yaodong and the others carried their things straight to the village chief's house and called him up from the recliner.

When people saw that the things he was holding were in traditional Chinese and English, their faces burst into smiles, but they were still polite.

"Why are you so polite with your things..."

"It should, it should. Last time it was because my sister gave birth. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. I was rude. I came here today to make up for it."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but push the thing into his arms. After some polite exchanges, the village chief accepted it with a smile on his face.

Don’t be surprised if you give gifts to many people. After you have the greeting gift, you can say anything easily.

"Village Chief, what do you say about the land? Have you discussed it? Do you have any clues?"

"Our village even held a special meeting to talk about this matter. In daily life, there are no big things in our village. They are all trivial. It is a big deal for you to buy such a large area of ​​land. Everyone has said everything. But the most worrying thing is that you are using the land for such a large area. The villagers are most concerned about this matter because they are afraid of bringing bad things to the village. After all, you are foreigners and do not belong to us."

"Don't worry, I have such a large area. In addition to building a house and enclosing a yard for the elderly in the family to live in, I will also build a warehouse. The remaining open space may be used to build a workshop or something. I am not sure yet. .

He further promised, "But if I want to do something, I will definitely say hello to our village committee first, and I will definitely not do anything detrimental to the villagers. My old man has also lived in the village for a year, and he likes us very much." People in this village are said to be very humane, so I just thought of buying a piece of land, building a house, and then settling directly in our village.”

"Think about it, everyone who settled in our village is also a part of our village.

From now on, we are the villagers of this village. How can we do things that are detrimental to the people in the village? "

The village chief nodded after hearing this, "You want to settle down. It's easy to settle down. Then I have to tell everyone. Everyone is willing to sell the land to you. Anyway, the wasteland is empty and can't grow anything. Your family The old man has lived in the village for a year and everyone is familiar with it, but the area is too big, so they have to ask clearly what they will use it for."

Ye Yaodong looked happy, as long as he was willing to sell, he was doing it to make money, and he was definitely not doing anything illegal.

Sure enough, land is the best to buy and sell now, especially in rural areas.

"Don't worry, village chief. After we buy the land and build the houses, we will become the villagers of this village. Of course, we will put the interests of the villagers first."

"Then I'll talk to the others later, and you can come back in a few days to hear the message."

The expression on Ye Yaodong's face made me feel a little embarrassed, "I may not be free in a few days, and I may have to go out of town for a few months."

"Why are you going? Aren't you a fisherman?"

"Yeah, I'm going to another place to fish for two months. There's a flood season there, so I'm rushing to make money."

"Then your boat is not small, can you still go out to catch the flood season?"

"Yes, I own more than a dozen boats, and my brother-in-law's family also has quite a few. We all have to go together when the time comes. I thought that my sister had just given birth and there was no one to take care of her. I didn't feel at ease, so I moved back to my hometown two days ago. "

The village chief's eyes bulged out, "A dozen boats?"

"Yes, so don't worry, we are just fishermen who do our duty. We make money entirely from fishing. We will not harm the village no matter what we do."

Small wooden boats are also boats, and there is nothing wrong with a dozen of them.

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and then took out the reward he received in the morning to show him, "We will only do things that are beneficial to individuals and the collective. This is the reward given to me by the superiors today. If I were from this village, it would also be given to our village. Disgraced."

"Also, I am familiar with the leader above. I talked to him about the land purchase in the morning. He said that my idea is very good. Anyway, there are shops in the city. I want to buy a piece of land and build a house nearby. It’s also convenient for fishing boats to go to the shore to sell goods.”

"What kind of leader? There is also a certificate of honor and a pen..."

The village chief touched it here and there in surprise. Ye Yaodong waited for him to finish reading and then put it away.

"Haha, leaders of this city. Village chief, help me talk to other village cadres. I'll see if I have time to come over in two days. If not, I will definitely come back during the National Day in October. , how about we come over and talk more about it then?”

"Okay, let me tell you more. This is not a big problem. It's just that your area is so big. It will definitely cost a lot to buy the land."

"I know this, let's follow the process, the procedures are complete, and it will be as it should be."

"Okay, then wait two days or around the National Day. I will also discuss it with other people in the next two days. If you are not a foreigner and the area is too large, I can finalize this directly."

"It's okay, I'll trouble you. I'll see if I have time to come back in two days..."

"OK."

Those who eat people are soft-mouthed and their hands are short-handed. Nowadays, people are relatively simple. Having said that, there is generally no problem.

The purpose of buying the land has been half achieved. I just have to wait two days to see if I have time to come back again. Then the area will be measured, the contract signed and the money paid, and it will be nailed down.

He doesn’t really want to wait until he has finished fishing for jellyfish and come back during the National Day. The time interval is too long, and it is easy to have long nights and dreams. You have to strike while the iron is hot. The longer the time goes, the more things will happen. Who knows if he will sit on the ground again by then? If the price is raised, will there be any nonsense?

When things are settled and there are no worries, he can better devote himself to other things.

Today is only the 2nd. Even if you receive the information and want to leave, you have to prepare a two-day notice before setting off. It is generally no problem and it will be in time.

After coming out of the village chief's house, he went to the shop again. In the middle of the afternoon, the market was already deserted and not many people were there. It specializes in night markets and morning markets. Basically, there are fewer people after noon, and the market also It's closed, just outside their market.

The facade is still open.

Their opening hours are basically from early morning to afternoon. After all, they sell dried food, not fresh food, and their audience is not the same, so they still have to stay open during the day.

Ye Yaodong settled the city's accounts during this period, and then took out the wages of Lin's father and Lin's mother and handed them over. He gave each of them an increase of 20 yuan. The salary was 120, so for two people, it was 240. That’s 3,000 yuan a year!

This salary is already a ceiling for workers. Generally, you have to work in a special type of work to earn this much, or even more.

He also sincerely thanked his father-in-law and mother-in-law for helping him share the burden, otherwise his production chain would have been stuck in this area.

Fortunately, the two of them are quite young, only in their 50s, and can still work hard.

Ye's father didn't say anything when he saw it, but Ye Yaodong also said to his father after he left the house: "When Ah Qing paid you your wages two days ago, I didn't tell her in advance. Anyway, I will pay you next time."

"It doesn't matter. Don't tell your mother. You should pay me the salary this month as you did last month. If you pay more, you can secretly give it to me."

The corner of his mouth twitched, "Why are you hiding so much private money? As a middle-aged man, besides drinking and smoking, what other expenses can you have?"

"You have money in your hands and don't panic. How can you give your mother everything? I must have some self-defense myself. It's not easy to get money from her. How can I look at her face? I have money in my hands. , I don’t have to ask her for money, and I don’t have to listen to her nagging.”

"Then you should give my mother 200?"

"Yes, speaking of it, I gave her a lot of money, and all I got was fractions."

Ye Yaodong was speechless, "Do you still want to take the big head and let her take the small change?"

"That's what I think, but I can't do it. She is responsible for all the expenses and favors at home. There are many relatives in the family, and there are many things to do, and the favors are also the bulk of them. She has to spend money, but fortunately she can save money, so I just need to take less."

"Then my mother, I have to thank you for your consideration and just take less?"

Father Ye couldn't help but laugh, "How can you think so? She needs to be beaten."

"I thought you were still dreaming and haven't woken up yet. I really thought so."

Aguang smiled, "Dad, you said that private money is too fair. I'm still here, do you have to pay me some hush money?"

"Why don't you have a private house and not own money? Let's talk about wages. They are all hard-earned and distributed according to work. I still suffered a loss and gave them all to her. I have been working for your mother all my life."

"That's not what I mean. To support the family, of course the man in the family has to bear most of the responsibilities. Let's do this, dad, the salary will still be given to my mother. I will give you an extra 30 yuan, which is considered as a sea-going subsidy. I will secretly give this to you. You, don’t let mother know, so you don’t have to explain anything.”

"Originally, you have to pay more salary. At that time, you said no. The boat is given to the eldest brother and the second brother. I don't need to give you a separate share. I just pay you the salary of a boatman. Although I also pay more, but now the eldest brother The second brother has returned the boat to you, so of course I have to add more."

Father Ye smiled broadly. There was no need to deduct it from the original salary, and the additional payment was regarded as a subsidy. Of course, that was fine, and there was no need to worry about not being able to explain it.

"Okay, okay, let's do this. Anyway, if you have money, I won't be polite to you. What your mother and I saved will be yours when we get old. I won't be able to spend much of what you gave me. When the time comes, If you can save it, I can give it back to you when you get old.”

"Forget it, just keep the flowers for yourself. When you are old, it will be several decades. How can I still miss you for several decades? With that extra thought gap, I can still It’s better to think more about it, earn more, and get it faster.”

"Okay, okay, if you earn more, everyone's life will be easier."

"Sit tight, I'm going to start, don't be nagging."

Ye Yaodong took the crank and slowly rotated it from slow to fast, and the tractor's sound frequency also started to move.

After starting, he lifted up the seat cushion, threw the swing in, closed it again, sat on it himself, and was ready to drive home.

We made a quick decision today, everything went smoothly, and we were almost able to get home before dark.

As soon as he got home, he urged Aguang to call the next day and ask when the jellyfish factory would start construction. If it didn't start soon, he would have enough time to go to the city the day after tomorrow to get the land. The matter is settled.

Aguang knew he was anxious, so he said he would keep an eye on it.

Ye Yaodong swung the money bag in his hand and walked home with loud footsteps. But as soon as he reached the door, a meat dumpling rushed over and hugged his leg to offer treasure.

"Dad, look at my watch..."

"What watch? Where did you get your watch?" Ye Yaodong stopped and asked curiously.

"It's worth it..."

"Did my brother draw it?"

Ye Xiaoxi happily raised her hand to show him. There was a dial and strap drawn with ballpoint pen on her wrist, and even the digital scale of 12345 was marked.

He smiled and nodded very cooperatively, and touched her head, "Yeah, it looks good."

Ye Xiaoxi smiled, showing a row of millet teeth, and raised his hands high. He was so happy no matter how he looked at it, and he jumped up and down to play with a group of children nearby.

Lin Xiuqing came out and saw it and said, "It won't be easy to wash off later and won't be rubbed off."

"Draw one to make her happy. There is no need to wash it. After washing it, she will have to draw it tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong watched the child jumping and jumping happily, and he was also happy.

Unexpectedly, when I went to bed at night, I would also be able to carry a watch.

Ye Xiaoxi took a ballpoint pen from nowhere and insisted on giving him flowers after taking a shower.

"I have it, no need to draw..."

"I'm pretty, hold out your hands, be good..."

"I really do."

"This doesn't look good. I painted it good-looking. Dad is obedient."

Ye Xiaoxi took the pen and poked the back of his palm several times. There was blue pen juice, and there were also blue scratches on her own palm.

"Where did you get the ballpoint pen?"

"Big brother's."

"Ahai's?"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded and finally took his father's hand away, exposing the back of it.

She excitedly drew circles back and forth with the pen on the back of his hand. She was so excited that she kept grinning, and she couldn't hold back the saliva in her mouth. It kept dripping down, and the speed of sucking couldn't keep up with the dripping.

Before she finished drawing a watch, the back of Ye Yaodong's hand was already covered with saliva. She wiped it carefully with the back of her hand, covering half of her forearm.

He stretched out his hand to draw a picture for his precious girl resignedly, and then watched Ah Qing count the money and settle the accounts.

"You can use the pen I gave you as a reward. There is ink at home anyway."

"No, put away such a good pen and use it to settle accounts. Just use the old pen at home to write."

"Don't you always say that the ink drips too fast in old fountain pens, and you don't know it from time to time?"

"As long as it works, this is a reward. Let's keep it as a souvenir."

"Then you can buy a ballpoint pen some other time. This ballpoint pen is easy to write with, and you don't have to refill the ink all the time, and it won't get stuck."

"Let's take a look later. This one seems to have just emerged. I haven't seen this kind of pen before, and I don't know where Ah Hai bought it."

"Is everything going well with the factory?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Is he the only one who can buy a pen? There are ready-made pens in the factory. How convenient would it be to just buy one?"

"Then this one is in your daughter's hands now, so it belongs to us?"

"Hey, that's right! You don't have to buy it. It's already here. It's better that you have a good brain. Cultural people follow things more naturally than other people."

"Nonsense." Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "Don't bother me, I haven't settled the account yet."

Ye Yaodong looked down at Ye Xiaoxi again. He had only drawn one circle after a long time, and there was more than one circle. There were a bunch of messy lines, but that pen was in

He scratched the back of his hand and it felt strangely itchy.

He stretched out his hand to scratch, but was slapped hard by Ye Xiaoxi, who yelled at him fiercely: "Don't move! I'm going to hit you!"

"Who does he look like so fiercely?"

"Grandma"

"Hahaha, that's right. The child's eyes are indeed sharp."

Lin Xiuqing turned her head and laughed after hearing this.

Ye Xiaoxi drew the watch extremely seriously and compared it with the one on his hand from time to time.

Ye Yaodong was lying there bored. His wife and children were all busy with their own affairs. He was the only one sitting idle. Looking at Ye Xiaoxi sticking out her butt, he couldn't help but pinch her little butt with his hands. It was so soft and easy to touch.

"I'll fart for you to eat."

"Let go." Ye Yaodong smiled and deliberately put his hand on her buttocks.

"There's no such thing now."

"Hahaha……"

Although there was no fart, Ye Xiaoxi was not to be outdone and sat directly on the bed, pushing her butt against his hand hard.

"It hurts...move your butt away..."

"No, no, no..." She shook her head and shook her butt.

"The watch is not finished yet."

"Yes"

She immediately realized that the work was not done yet, so she moved her buttocks again and continued to draw his watch while lying there.

It had been a long time since Lin Xiu had finished settling her accounts and climbed into bed, but she was still painting with her pout in her arms.

"The painting is done!"

Ye Yaodong raised his hand and looked at the similar technique on his hand. If it weren't for the many messy lines on the side, it would really be similar to the one on her hand.

He hugged the child and kissed it, "It's a very good painting. It's exactly the same as the one you have. I'll give your mother another one tomorrow."

"Yeah."

After receiving the affirmation, Ye Xiaoxi was very happy. She turned around and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Mom, I will draw for you tomorrow, one for each person..."

"Okay, sleep now."

"Want to drink neeei."

"Soak in malted milk?"

"Just neei..."

"Okay..." She could only helplessly untie her clothes and coax her to sleep.

Ye Yaodong looked at the mother and daughter lying down and stretched his head over, "I want neeei too..."

Ye Xiaoxi bit her ration, stretched out her fingers to push his head back, and said vaguely: "Go away..."

"You don't love me anymore? You just painted a watch for me."

"Go away," this time it was Lin Xiuqing who said, "Quickly turn off the lights."

"Okay, you two are on one side, and I'm on the other side. Don't come over to me or touch me when I sleep until midnight."

"Shameless, who wants to touch you?"

"Whoever responds to me is ready to touch me."

Lin Xiuqing reached out and patted him, "Shut up."

Ye Xiaoxi also shouted vaguely: "Shut up."

"snort"

The next day, Ye Yaodong slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up. He heard from Lin Xiuqing that A Guang had visited this morning.

He had no choice but to have a hurried breakfast and go to A Guang's house to find him. Of course, he also took the troublemaker Ye Xiaoxi with him.

"Looking for me in the morning?"

"Well, we don't have any idea there yet, but the factory said it's estimated to take about a week. It's about right, and it won't be too late. Anyway, it's basically the same time every year, sometimes earlier and sometimes later, so it's good to prepare in advance."

"That's okay. I've prepared everything that needs to be prepared in advance. I'll call you in two days to confirm, and we can make arrangements for departure."

"Yes, that's what I mean. When you move the small boat to the big ship, you will have more trouble."

"We will move it later when the tide recedes at around 12 o'clock. My father has already called a dozen boatmen and we will go to the dock after lunch."

"Then I'll go out and help at 12 o'clock."

Ye Yaodong nodded, then changed the topic, "The child is

I'll take a look and see if there's any big change. "

"Aunt Ma said we are going out to make a lot of money, so don't go into the confinement room. It's not good. I asked her to take her out."

"All right."

The two little meat dumplings have indeed grown a lot, but they are still dark and dark. It seems that it will be difficult to turn white in the future, but their facial features are still pretty good-looking.

"Fortunately, it's a man."

"It doesn't matter, your son is also very dark. There is no difference between being born and having a tan."

"Indeed, black people are healthy."

Ye Yaodong played with the child for a while, then waved to Ye Xiaoxi, "Brother, let me give you a hug, do you want it?"

"No, it's so ugly."

"What are you talking about? Xiaoyu, is your brother good-looking?"

Pei Yu also shook his head.

Aguang rolled his eyes, "Did you do it on purpose? You're jealous that I have twins."

"Give it back to you, I'm going home."

Ye Xiaoxi immediately shouted: "No...no..."

"Then you stay here and I go home."

"Uh-huh."

Not willing to go back, Ye Yaodong didn't force himself, so he left first. A Guang would go to his place later to help move the boat, and he would naturally take the child over.

When Ye Yaodong went back for lunch, he also told his father that he would have to leave in about a week.

Father Ye nodded and said that it would be just right to move the boat to the Dongsheng today. He had prepared everything that needed to be done in advance so that he would not be in a hurry when the time came.

Then when the boatmen came to move the boat in the afternoon, they also told everyone that it would set off in about a week.

"When I have time in two days, I will call the barber over. Come to my house, and I will have your heads shaved. This will save you the trouble of taking care of your personal hygiene when you go out."

"Huh? You also want to shave your head. What does this look like?"

"Yes, this... I shaved my head after being released from prison..."

"It's not good for us to shave our heads..."

Ye Yaodong saw that everyone was very resistant and unhappy, and quickly explained, "This is for everyone's benefit. If everyone shaves their heads, it won't be very special. Anyway, it's not just one person, everyone is the same. Have company."

"In this hot weather, you are sweating profusely every day, and your hair is sour and smelly after a long day of work. You are also uncomfortable. After shaving your head, you will no longer have these worries. Anyway, after you come back from fishing for jellyfish, your hair will grow again. Out."

"The most important thing is that if dozens or hundreds of us all go there together with bald heads, it will scare the locals to death. The locals will have to think twice when they see us. As you said, they will all think that we are in prison. If you let it go, you will naturally avoid us in your heart, and you will find less trouble, and probably less unnecessary trouble."

"We are not from their local area, and it doesn't matter what they think of us. Anyway, it would be nice if our villagers knew that everyone in our village is a good citizen. We didn't stay too long, we just stayed outside for two months, and then we will come back, come back Then the hair grows.”

"One stone kills two birds with one stone. You don't have to pay for shaving your hair. I'll pay for it for you. How cool and hassle-free will it be to have a bald head?"

"Look at my bald head, do you think I was released from prison? We are all from the countryside, who doesn't know each other? When we do serious work, we all wear hats. Even if I shave my head, It will be comfortable, and it is easy to wash your hair. It is inconvenient to do anything when you are out, so it would be nice to save some trouble."

Everyone heard what he said and felt it made sense.

And instead of shaving alone, everyone shaves together, with a companion, no one has to laugh at anyone, and it is really easy. After walking around in the sun, they were all sweating profusely, and their hair was almost dripping. It was really a shave. save trouble.

"That's fine. Let's wait until the day before departure to shave our heads. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. Only old men and children shave their heads. It's quite strange for us to shave our heads."

"Yeah, it's embarrassing to see someone you know."

"Okay, I'm afraid of embarrassment.

After shaving, put on a hat. "

"It would be good if we all shaved together. We are not locals anyway. Hahaha, we will scare them to death and they will have to stay away when they see us."

"Yes, I usually wear a hat when doing things. If something happens, let's take off the hat together and scare people..."

"Hahaha……"

"Stop laughing, go move the boat quickly, the tide is about to recede..."

"Let's go, let's get down to business. We'll wait until later to shave our heads. We have to ask other people to shave our heads together, so we can't just shave our heads. It's better to have more people so it won't be embarrassing."

"When the time comes, ask everyone to shave together. If anyone dares not to shave, give him a good beating..."

It was just a few words, and everyone accepted it so easily. Ye Yaodong was relieved. Even if he didn't accept it, it didn't matter. He still had to fight, but the whole group of bald guys looked really bluffing.
