Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1051 The End of the Flood Season (1 words, monthly ticket +24)

The three women on the ground were still lying there wailing, and they dared not say a word anymore. If they did, they would be beaten.

Secretary Chen was blocked by Ye's mother and had nothing to say. He could only pat his forehead and said, "Then wait here first."

"Drag them to my door and put them in a group with those two."

"Then everyone, please help drag these three over there..."

The crowd all stood in front of A Guang's house again, looking at the two people lying on the ground, pointing and whispering.

Some people just heard the villagers shouting loudly, "People from other villages are coming to attack us," so they ran out with their weapons. After all, there were many fights on the sea a few days before the squid season, and some of them even spread from the sea to the shore.

In fact, most of the people who ran out with weapons had no idea what was happening.

Now that it had calmed down, everyone was talking about it. Those who knew about it explained the cause, process and outcome of the incident to those who didn't know about it. Then they looked at the father and son lying half-dead on the ground and cursed them.

Ye Yaodong touched the cigarettes in his pocket and distributed them to the people waiting around him. After distributing them, he threw away the empty shells and ignored those who didn't get any.

"Can you all sit on the steps? I guess they'll bring a bunch of people over to ask for us soon."

"Just stand for a while."

"It's early in the morning now, no one is at home, everyone has gone to work, I don't think many people will come..."

"Who knows."

"Hey? Adong, why didn't you go out to sea this morning? Everyone went out to sea either at night or early in the morning, why are you and your father still here?"

Ah Guang also looked over when he heard someone asking questions, but he was in no mood to speak. He just pricked up his ears and listened.

"I was already at the dock, about to board the boat, but I heard someone who just came out say that there was a commotion here at Guang's place. I thought I'd come over to take a look. It wouldn't matter if I took an hour or two. There would be more squids at noon, but it's almost over now."

"That should be just in time. The Empress's harem will start performing operas every day for three days straight, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. In two days, everyone can watch the show."

"Yes, we will be able to watch the drama soon. I only watched it last year."

"I didn't expect there would be a big show to watch this year. I thought it was only last year due to special circumstances and there is no show this year. I don't know what happened this year. The mobile film troupe didn't come to our village. I don't know where they went."

"The two dollars this family spent was well spent. The whole family can go to see the opera for three days."

"Adong donated 500 yuan. Otherwise, you still want to watch the show? It's so beautiful. Do we have to organize a three-day Mazu parade? It all costs money."

"I heard that Adong has two more boats recently. This time he is making a lot of money again..."

Everyone was chatting with each other, and the topic kept changing.

From the cause of the riot to the birthday of Mazu, and now it is linked to Ye Yaodong.

After chatting for a while, a larger group of people came from the road not far away, still holding various weapons. Everyone immediately fell silent and looked over.

"More people are coming. Should we go and call a few more?"

"Just in case, call a few more..."

Aunt Ma's youngest son immediately ran quickly back to the village.

After a while, the aggressive crowd came to them again.

"They were the ones who beat us up. Just now we came over to ask for the people back, and they beat us up too..."

"Hand over the people from our village!"

"Hand over our family members..."

"You were the ones who started the trouble..."

The village chief and the secretary immediately stopped the villagers who wanted to rush up to argue, spread their hands to stop everyone behind them to prevent them from getting impulsive and starting a fight before a word was even spoken, and then walked up to them.

"It's no problem to return the person to you, but we need to sort this matter out."

"You haven't given us an explanation yet."

The village cadres over there also immediately stopped the villagers who were pointing weapons at each other and said, "You need to give us an explanation first. Why are you hitting people?"

They are all villages that are close to each other, from the same village, and are all relatives. Generally, the conflicts will not be too ugly. At most, the conflicts are between individuals, and they rarely escalate to the level of villages. After all, the sea resources are rich, and each production team controls several villages under its jurisdiction.

The village chief and the secretary instructed everyone to drag the five men and women at the door to the front first, and while everyone was dragging them away, he also explained to them the reason for the development of the situation.

"That's it. This father and son are too shameless. They have been threatening people for three consecutive days. They deserve to be beaten by their brother. Which girl doesn't want to maintain her reputation and get married? Moreover, their family is now well-known in our village. How can they be threatened by people like this? It's good enough that they were not beaten to death."

The other crowd also became agitated, looking at each other and starting to talk.

"Why is it different from what I heard?"

"Didn't you say you just came to rent a boat, but they held a grudge against you, so they beat you half to death and detained you?"

“Who is real and who is fake?”

"Hey? What's going on between your brother and your father..."

Perhaps the brothers in that family have not completely lost their consciences. They hesitated and could not explain clearly, but still wanted to quibble, "Don't listen to their nonsense, they said it themselves..."

Ah Guang spat, "Bah, last year we were getting engaged, and they were considered family. My father rented the boat to them and took them to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish, making a lot of money. But in the end, they were reluctant to pay half of the rent, and they even wanted to occupy my boat. It hasn't even been a year, and you've forgotten about it?"

"That's right. It just broke out last year. I don't believe that everyone in your village doesn't know about it? It was so ugly last year. The engagement was cancelled. How dare you come to my house and say you want to renew the engagement? How dare you do that? Besides, the girl has started to see you again. What kind of toad can get close to you?"

"You want to renew your engagement but you can't. You're still trying to rent a boat. Is it because you can't book a boat? Are you regretting your falling out last year? You're jealous of the big money that everyone can make from squid fishing these days, and you heard that Guang's family recently got a new boat, so you shamelessly come to threaten us."

"Where do you have the nerve to do that? If it were any of you, you would have just beaten them out, right? We didn't beat them up the first two days, we just kicked them out. This morning, they came to threaten us with our reputations and wanted to ruin the girl. Shouldn't we beat them to death?"

"That's right, they actually dared to come to our house to make trouble, and that old woman dared to talk nonsense. The whole family is not good people, they deserve to be beaten to death..." Ye's mother also yelled and cursed loudly. She was pulled by Ye's father, but she glared back and pulled back her sleeves.

After hearing everyone's statements, the people on the opposite side suddenly lost their arrogance and started whispering about what happened last year. They suddenly felt a little guilty and that they were losing their ground. Those who had just argued did not dare to say a word.

Even their own family members shrank back, not daring to step forward or say a word. The other villagers were even more speechless. Even their village cadres turned to look at their own people, some of them not knowing what to say.

Secretary Chen also said, "Did you hear that? These people asked for the beating this morning. You just came over and didn't ask a few questions, but this old woman started talking nonsense and tarnishing the reputation of other girls. She deserved to be beaten. We just wanted to talk things over nicely, and didn't intend to fight. It was because of her nonsense that it started."

The other side pondered for a moment and thought about it, and realized that it was indeed the case. At the beginning, they were asked to give an explanation, and they all wanted to say a few words first to understand the situation. It was beyond everyone's expectation that they would start fighting directly.

In addition, the grudge between the two families was known to the whole village last year. They had become enemies. At this critical juncture, they took the initiative to come to the door for three consecutive days. It was obvious that he must have some agenda, and he deserved to be beaten.

Ah Guang also spoke up at this time, "It's no problem for you to take the person back, just don't come to my house to disgust me next time. Also, don't spread rumors about me, otherwise, it won't be so easy to make peace."

As he said this, he kicked two men, one old and one young, lying on the ground hard. The two men curled up and let out slight cries of pain. Seeing this, the people on the opposite side hurried over and helped both of them up.

The village official opposite also looked unhappy and nodded reluctantly, "This is what the father and son did that was not right. When we go back, we will also tell them not to cause trouble again and live a peaceful life."

"Yes, they were living a good life, but you had to come and provoke and threaten them. It will not be so easy to resolve the issue next time. The rift between the two villages will widen, which is bad for everyone. You have to give this family a warning." said the village chief.

The other party nodded and waved his hand. Half of the people carried the injured people and left again.

Ye's mother was kept being pulled by Ye's father and only let go after the people left.

"What are you doing? You keep pulling me."

"I told you to talk less and cause less trouble. Didn't you see that woman got beaten up for talking nonsense just now? I'm afraid you'll get beaten up too."

"Who dares? Who dares to hit me?"

Mother Ye slapped Father Ye and glared at him before saying to Guang, "It's too easy to just let him go. We should ask them to pay compensation and come to our house to apologize."

"It's already like that..."

"Which side are you on? You're speaking for them." Mother Ye angrily slapped Father Ye several times.

"I want them? They don't need that little bit of money. I feel sick just looking at that family. I must be crazy to let them come to my house again to disgust me. If they come, I will just throw them out."

"That's true. I'll be angry when I come to your house."

Father Ye also glared back, "Just tell me, what's your business? You're worrying about nothing. Who needs their little melons and two dates? If you come again, I'll be even more angry and have to see their faces. They've already beaten the whole family like that. They won't be able to get out of bed for at least ten days or half a month. The two men's hands and feet are broken and they have to wear plaster casts for several months."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said, "Leave the money for them to buy their own medicine."

Ah Guang nodded, threw the stick in his hand to the corner of the door, and said to everyone: "Thank you for your help today."

"It's as it should be. We are all from the same hometown, and we certainly can't be bullied by outsiders."

"I just happened to be free, so I might as well watch the fun for a while."

"That family is such a jerk. They even had the nerve to come to our door. Don't let them come to our village again next time. If you see them, kick them out."

"There will be a big show in a few days. Let's surround the village and prevent people from coming in."

“Then don’t go to their village during the Mazu parade in the next few days!”

"No, that won't work. What does that have to do with the other people in the village? Mazu is blessing all the fishermen at sea. We can't do this."

"Okay, okay, now that we're done, let's go home and do what we need to do. Don't delay your own business. There are only a few days left. It's a good time to finish this period of work and then go to the opera."

After the village chief and the secretary spoke repeatedly, everyone stopped talking and dispersed in twos and threes. Before leaving, they were still discussing the big show that would be performed in a few days.

"Is it the same troupe from last year? They sing so well..."

"Yes, yes, it sounds really nice. It's been a long time since it was so lively..."

"I will be able to listen to opera again soon..."

"I don't know how much it would cost to hire a troupe to perform for a day..."

"Who wants to come for one day? It takes at least three days. It's hard enough to move all these props and costumes around. Who would sing for you for a day..."

The voices of discussion gradually faded away. The villagers had all left. When the secretary and the village chief and others had almost left, they just said a few simple words and then left too.

In the end, only Ye's father, Ye's mother, Ye Yaodong, and the surrounding neighbors were left.

"Dongzi, Dad and Mom, you guys should go and do your own things. I don't have much to do here. Everyone should go and do your own things. I also need to prepare to go out to sea. I have wasted half a morning here."

"Okay, okay, since we have to go out to sea together, let's go together."

"Okay, then just wait for me, I'll get things sorted."

Last year, Aunt Ma's eldest son came to Dongzi's house to give him fish to thank him for sponsoring his younger brother's studies. Now he rolled up his sleeves to help A Guang put the baskets and buckets on the cart.

Before leaving, A Guang also told his eldest sister to look after the house, and if anything happened, she could go next door to find Aunt Ma, or go to the village committee to find his mother-in-law.

After giving them the instructions, he pushed the cart and went to the dock with them.

Ye's mother and Aunt Ma also comforted his eldest sister and then went about their own business.

Ye Yaodong walked with A Guang and couldn't help but suggest, "How is the person your elder sister is dating now? If he has no problems with his character, then they should just get married. Otherwise, they can avoid any rumors, which will have a bad impact on the relationship."

"Well, let's talk to my dad when he comes back in a few days. The flood season will only take a few days to finish. Then we'll see whether he should do it first or my sister should do it first."

"Then it must be your father's job first. Your father's job is so simple. The whole family can have a meal together. When your eldest sister gets married, there will be an elder to help arrange it."

"Let's talk about it later, wait for others to come back first."

Ye Yaodong looked at the boy beside him, who was pushing the cart silently, and nodded at him, then asked in a low voice: "Is this boy diligent?"

"Not bad, very hardworking, able to endure hardships, will do whatever is asked of him at sea."

He walked around A Guang, put his arm on the boy's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Hey, boy, if your mother got together with Uncle Pei next door, would you mind?"

The boy was instantly embarrassed and stuttered for a while before finding his voice. "See what she means, I'm not going there anyway. I want to live in my own home, and I don't want to change my name or surname."

"No need to change it. At most, your mother can move in. We live next door to each other anyway. If we merge our two houses into one, we can live our own lives and it will be convenient for us to come and go."

"Ah."

Ye Yaodong turned to look at A Guang and raised his eyebrows, "OK, now we have two younger brothers."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's nothing serious, don't let others hear it, or they will spread gossip."

"Isn't there no one here?"

Because they pushed the cart slowly, the boatman had already walked ahead.

"Aren't we all human?" Ye's father squeaked.

"Dad, I finally understand why Mom hates you more and more. No one thinks you are dumb when you don't speak."

"Asshole."

Father Ye didn't have any suitable tools, so he habitually took off his shoes. However, when he lifted his feet, he realized that he was wearing rain boots, so he put his feet down reluctantly.

When his father raised his foot, Ye Yaodong had already run away.

Then he reached the shore and took the boatman with him and went out to sea first.

"He's getting more and more out of tune. He's almost 30 years old, but he still thinks he's 13. He just talks back and runs away after he's done talking."

Ye's father was cursing behind them, and then he also took a boatman out to sea.

The flood season continued, and before it was over, it was time for the village to put on a big show.

On the evening of the 8th, a large Jiefang truck drove into the village and then drove along the shore to the entrance of Tianhou Temple.

The great liberation was followed by a large group of excited men and women of all ages. Everyone was extremely active and excited, and they were all clamoring to watch a big show tomorrow.

During the day, every household had already brought their chairs and benches to the foot of the high platform of the Tianhou Temple and placed them there. The entrance to the Tianhou Temple was also fenced off and no one was allowed in to avoid disturbing the manipulation of the props.

Some children are extremely naughty, and everyone is afraid that things will be damaged if they are not watched.

Only after the stage is set up will people be allowed to enter, and only then can children run onto the stage and play with the curtain for a while.

Although they were not allowed to enter, the enthusiasm of the villagers was still high. Since they were not allowed to enter, they still poked their heads in at the door and watched them move various machines and equipment.

Only after all the things had been moved, the train had left, and the gates of the Tianhou Temple had been closed, did everyone reluctantly return to the village.

The excitement continued until the show opened the next day, and everyone's faces were still beaming.

There were too few entertainment activities in those days, so when a mobile film troupe came to the countryside, the villagers were extremely excited. What’s more, it was a troupe invited by their own village, which made them feel extremely honored.

When the show started at 1:30 p.m. the next day, the Tianhou Temple was packed with people. The villagers were so proud that people from all over the surrounding area flocked to them.

The entrance of the Tianhou Temple is filled with various snacks and toys, like a small market. Not to mention the children, even the adults linger there.

Most villagers are reluctant to leave the ongoing flood season and go out to sea to fish. Making money is of course the most important thing. Anyway, there will be another big show in the evening. They can go out to sea during the day and watch the show at night.

The village militia could not be organized, and everyone wanted to make more money during the flood season. The village chief simply asked each household to send someone to watch over their own home to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation.

But when the Mazu birthday parade begins, no matter if the flood season is still going on or not, everyone must put down their work and parade first.

The three days passed extremely quickly. Every day, the Tianhou Temple was packed with people inside and outside, just like a market. Of course, all the people were concentrated in the Tianhou Temple, and the village was empty. It was better during the day, when the housekeepers would sit and chat at the door and help keep an eye on the neighbors, but there were still inevitable thefts at night.

They caught several cases in succession, but the problem could not be stopped. They could only beat the people, tie them up and hand them over to the village committee. The village committee would lock them up for a night and let them starve for a day before handing them over to the various villages.

Fortunately, after the three-day opera was over, the Mazu parade began and the village didn’t seem so chaotic anymore.

Everyone was reluctant to see the troupe leave. After listening to the opera for three days, when the troupe left, everyone accompanied them all the way to the village entrance, muttering to themselves that they didn't know where the next stop was and they really wanted to continue watching with them.

When the show is over and the parade begins, the flood season is almost over. It is not necessary for all the men in the family to go out for the parade. Only one person is needed, and the rest of the family can still go out to sea to fish as usual.

This year's parade route is all based on last year's route. We will follow last year's route and spend the last half day parading around the village, followed by a peace dinner.

Ye Yaodong asked his father to go out to sea as usual, while he himself participated in the parade from morning to night. Only on the last day of the parade in the village did he let his father stop working for a day and have lunch there.

Of course, he was the one who got up at night to light the first incense stick on Mazu’s birthday, and he was also the one who lit the first incense stick when she was invited out for the parade.

On the day of her birthday, the village was still crowded with people. During the past two days, Mazu was touring the surrounding villages and towns.

The parade only took place on the last day of the village. Also, because it was the last day and the village was close, people from nearby villages came to the village to follow the guard of honor to watch the fun. They followed the guard wherever it went until the parade on the beach was over. The half-morning ceremony was finally over and Mazu was escorted to the main hall.

The guard of honor also returned all the flag props and locked them in the warehouse of the hall.

This year's event was not as grand as last year's, and no leaders were invited. The village organized the parade, but there were still sixty or seventy tables. In addition to the villagers, most people from other villages who knew it was Mazu's birthday would come and pay money to have a peace meal.

After the parade, everyone went home to rest. The Tianhou Temple also had to be tidied up, with tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks set out, waiting for everyone to come over for dinner later.

Ye Yaodong also twisted his neck and shoulders and walked with a few friends. They discussed going to his house to play cards for a while and then coming over for dinner. Anyway, there was nothing to do at home so they might as well sit there.

Dongzi's house is right on the beach and is the closest to the Tianhou Temple.

The fat guy took a rare break today and ran back to watch the fun.

It was a rare occasion for five people to get together to play cards, but normally only four people were needed to play cards, and one person had to stand up, so they decided to play crab fishing, which could be played by any number of people, not necessarily four.

They took out the wooden stools at home and put them together. There was no need to sit on them, they could just stand and shout with more momentum!

And because they were shouting and yelling while fishing for crabs, even the Ye family's father and son, as well as the surrounding neighbors, were all attracted. They all came to watch them fishing for crabs and were reluctant to leave.

Ye's mother stood by and called them to go to Tianhou Temple for dinner, but no one moved and they only talked about the last round.

She had no choice but to pull Ye's father away, but Ye's father also found her annoying.

"If you're in a hurry, go by yourself. I've already said it's the last chance, the last chance. Check it out first before you go."

Mother Ye looked at the children again, "Are you going to leave or not?"

"No, we want to follow Dad."

These little kids stretched their necks as long as giraffes and were reluctant to leave.

"You are all gamblers. I can't bear to leave after watching you. I won't care about you anymore."

Ye's mother was extremely helpless, but no one paid any attention to her.

Ye Yaodong grabbed two cards in his hand, pressed a small corner on the upper left corner with his thumb, and then pulled them out for a long time, shouting louder and louder, "No edge... no edge... no edge..."

"What cards are you holding? Let me see. What are you covering..." Father Ye stretched his neck and stood on tiptoe, but no one could see clearly what cards he was covering.

The person next to him shouted even louder than him. After knowing the cards in his hand, his face flushed with excitement, "Eat it..."

"I'll come over..."

"I'll continue..."

"Fuck, are you guys so good at playing cards?"

Ye Yaodong hadn't even pulled out the cards in his hand yet, but he had already seen that there was no limit to the amount of cards he could win. He was so excited that he paused for a moment. Looking at other people's reactions, he found that they were even more excited than him. He was a little confused and doubtful. Shouldn't someone give up?
Did you all get good cards?
Everyone was very confident in the cards in their hands, holding them tightly with a smug look on their faces.

The cards in my hand had been bent into unknown shapes by them. They were obviously new, but compared to the ones on the stool, they were already like arches.

"Hurry up and wait for you. Do you want it? If not, then open the cards. I'll kill them all today."

"Tsk, I'll just kill you all and show you my good cards."

He continued to grab the upper left corner of the card in his hand, and then pulled it down little by little, muttering to himself, and then after a while he shouted excitedly.

"All of them come over!!!"

After shouting, he threw the cards in his hand onto the stool, and they fell to the ground, so everyone could see the cards in his hand clearly.

"Fuck, the emperor will give it to you!!!"

"Oh my god, my God, Nine Dragons..."

"I go to mine at 9 o'clock..."

"I'm still a pair. Oh my god... I can even bump into this..."

The children around him also shouted excitedly, "Uncle San is so awesome, he caught Zhizunbao and killed him all!"

"Of course, who am I? Do I need to tell you about my luck? I've made back my money so I can have a meal." Ye Yaodong smiled happily, "Give me the money, give me the money. You can calculate it yourself. It's doubled several times."

"Mother Gan Lin... so many..."

“Give me money, give me money…”

He happily spread his hands and asked them for money, "I have the money for lunch, and I can earn enough for the whole family!"

Everyone could only pay with a depressed look on their face.

Everyone can make money now. As conditions have improved, they can invest larger amounts in crab fishing. He won more than 20 yuan in just one round, making up for all the losses in the previous rounds.

Ye Yaodong collected the money and happily gave ten cents to each of the children around him. He also gave ten cents to each of the children who came over to call their dad for dinner.

"I'll buy you some candy."

"Thank you, Uncle San~"

"Thank you, Uncle Dong~"

"Let's go eat~"

The whole family was waiting there, waiting for him to finish his round before going to eat.

Lin Xiuqing was also waiting there holding the child. Ye Yaodong took Ye Xiaoxi over. The child was too heavy and she definitely couldn't hold it. He asked her to walk with the old lady at the back while he and the others went first.

"Fatty, did you buy the land you mentioned before?"

"I didn't say I wanted to buy land. I said I wanted to rent a bigger store."

"Fuck you, I pointed out all the good places to you that day and asked you to buy it, but you kept renting. What the hell are you renting? Just buy it if you can."

"Not to mention buying it, my wife wouldn't even agree to rent it. She scolded me when I got home that day, asking me what I was doing outside and why I spent hours buying mushrooms. Luckily I told you that I met you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain myself even if I had a mouth full of mouths."

"So you just let it go?"

"She said that after finishing this year, she would lose 20 pounds. The lease of the house she rented last year has not expired yet, and she is reluctant to leave. Besides, her business is pretty good now. She sells buns in the morning and marinated food at noon."

"It smells really good. I tell you, everyone in this town knows my restaurant now. Some people may not have tasted my buns, but everyone has tasted my marinade."

"The pig organs and bones of my father-in-law are not enough for me to sell. I have to rush to the market early every day to buy a lot. I can't even sell them now. They are sold out in the afternoon. I don't know how easy it is to sell." The fat man talked proudly, drooling.

Seeing how confident and happy he is, he is probably very satisfied with his current income, so we can't blame his wife for being reluctant to let him go. He is probably reluctant to let him go too, because it's just too hard, so he always wants to do other things so that he doesn't have to get up so early.

really.

"So she couldn't bear to leave. Alas, she was just too tired. She got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs every day."

"Then it doesn't matter if you continue to work until the end of the year. You can buy the land first and leave it there and build on it later. Or you can just buy an old house on the street. This will be useful soon, right?"

The reason why he hasn't bought a house or land now is because he has nowhere to use them. If he buys land, it will just sit there idle, waiting for appreciation in value or renting it out in the future. Mainly because it's difficult to rent a house now, so he hasn't made any plans. If he buys land, he'll just be wasting his money.

Moreover, the property was bought out of town, and as a foreigner, if he wasn't paying attention, he was afraid it would be taken away by unscrupulous people and hooligans. Although he could get it back through lawsuits, it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, he planned to wait for a few years until the laws were perfected before making any decision. It would not be too late. The shops in the city would disappear if this one was missed. He might as well stock up in advance. He had plenty of money to spare.

The fat man was bought in his own town, so the locals have nothing to fear. Besides, he can be put to good use and can be used directly. He can use it right after buying it, so it is of course a good deal.

"My wife said to wait, so let's wait. It won't take more than a few months. I'll consider it after the rent expires this year."

"Okay, then you decide for yourself. And you guys, let me tell you, if you have money, buying a house and land is a great way to make money. Forget about our small place, buy in a big place, such as a city, a provincial capital, or even the capital city!"

"You can. Are we just dreaming? A big BJ in the Magic City? It would be a blessing if we can leave this village in this lifetime."

"Why do you underestimate yourself? Save money for a few years, and when the outside world is not so chaotic, go buy land, houses, and shops, understand? The first choice for making money, if you don't know how to do anything else, then just buy houses, land, and shops."

"We'll talk about it later. When we have accumulated a lot of wealth like you, we'll listen to you."

"If you listen to me, after a few years when you buy a house, land and a shop, you won't have to work for the rest of your life and can just lie back and collect rent at home."

"Is this true? We will only be in our 30s in a few years. Can we just lie down at home before we turn 40? My dad will break my legs."

"It's okay. When the time comes, your father will be old, so how can he beat you? He will have to live his life according to your mood. If you look at him, he will not dare to say anything."

Ah Zheng laughed out loud, as if he had already imagined that scene, "Really? Then I can wait and see. He glares at me every day, and then I'll glare at him back."

"Run, run, run..."

"what?"

"Your father is here, run, run..."

"Ah? Why are you here?" He turned around and saw his father taking off his shoes, and quickly ran out.

Today is Mazu’s birthday, which only comes once a year. The Harvest also returned last night.

As they passed the workshop, a salty and fragrant smell filled their noses.

Fortunately, the weather was nice and the weather was sunny during this period. We had been drying squids for ten consecutive days. Now all the open spaces were filled with squids. The fish that the Harvest brought back yesterday were also hung out to dry today.

There was only one boatload of fish, and they were all picked out from the groceries. Less than half of them could be dried in the sun, but it was always a special sight every time I passed by here.

"You know, the family in the village who followed your example of drying fish for sale has also started drying squids. It seems that they spent money to buy fish a while ago, and the dried fish they dried sold very well. This time they made money."

"Oh, that means the beating I received at the city station was not in vain. At least I have figured out how to make money and can continue to make a living."

"I heard that some people in the village are following suit. They all say that we don't lack these things on the seashore, so we sell them to places that do."

"Never mind them. I am not the only one who can sell this. Whoever can make money can make it."

He made a lot of money from the shop in the city and also accumulated a group of customers.

For example, although Boss Zhou doesn’t order a lot at one time, he always orders a batch at regular intervals, and the quantity tends to increase.

The same goes for the troops. Now they have agreed to deliver 1000 kilograms of different things every month. It is impossible to deliver more, but it is a fixed and stable item.

There are many hawkers who come here specifically to buy small quantities of goods, and there are also many hawkers walking around the streets.

The first batch of squids that were recently dried in the sun was delivered to the store a few days ago, and feedback has also come in. They sell very well. After all, they are rare. This is also seasonal, and they cannot be dried out if it is not in season.

Moreover, the cost is high. Most people would not be willing to dry the products for fear of losing money. But he has a shop there and a lot of money, so he has the confidence to sell them slowly. The few quantities he dried last year have already been sold out.

Although they are competitors, they do not interfere with each other. He can be considered a big customer now.

He changed the subject and asked A Guang, "Your father is back. Are you going to leave again at night?"

"Maybe he needs to rest for a day or two. He can't stand being out at sea all the time. He needs to rest at home for two days. I've been catching squid at home and haven't been to the city. I'm worried about Huimei being alone in the city. I also plan to go to the city early in the next two days as the flood season is coming to an end. Otherwise, I can still go out to sea for him for a few days."

Ye Yaodong calculated that the baby would be born at the end of June or the beginning of July, which means it would be just over a month away. That really made him worried, as the baby's big belly would be particularly noticeable when the weather was hot.

"Then when your father's business is done, you will go to the city?"

"I don't know what he said. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep immediately. I have been wandering since I got up today and I don't have time to chat with him. I will talk to him after dinner."

The fat man asked curiously, "What? Is your father really planning to marry you a stepmother? Is he really not just talking? I don't stay here every day, and I thought the rumors in the village were just nonsense. So who are you going to marry? The widow or Haozi's ex-wife?"

Ah Guang glared at him coldly, "Who do you think it is?"

"Hey, shouldn't I go find your friend's wife for you? This is a bit shocking."

"roll."

He kicked him, but the fat man was no longer the same fat man. He was now a flexible fat man and he jumped to the side.

"Hey, I didn't kick it."

"We're at the Tianhou Temple. There are so many people here. Stop making noise and stop talking nonsense."

"Hehe, he didn't say anything. I saw Old Man Wang talking to your father. It seemed that he wanted to sit at the same table with your father..."

"This dog-skin plaster is so disgusting, I can't get rid of it even if I shake it off."

"It shows that he has good vision." Ye Yaodong also joked with a smile.

Ah Guang glared at him unhappily, "How's the repair of your boat going?"

"I don't know. I've been so busy lately that I haven't called the factory to ask. I don't know how the repair is going. I'll call them in the afternoon after dinner to ask. If it's repaired, it will be ready for me to go out to sea."

"Then you ask, if it's repaired, I can just take your boat to the city, or if you have a delivery to the city in the near future, I can take your tractor."

"Then you should take a tractor. Tractors are faster. It seems that they are delivering goods in the county these two days. After the county is finished, they will probably take a truckload of squid to the city. Wait for me to go back after dinner and ask about the delivery status."

"it is good."

"Look... you're really sitting next to your dad. Where are you going to sit?"

"What do you care about me? Just sit down and stop paying attention to my dad."

"Let's sit together. Dongzi's family is already full."

　I was really diligent today. I started writing as soon as I opened my eyes. I wrote 1 words. Normally, I would still be watching Douyin at this time and haven't opened it yet. I will update another chapter at night. I will try my best.
