Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Ye Yaodong asked Ah Cai to write down a separate bill of goods, and the goods they fished in the water were recorded separately, so that they could settle the accounts and share the money.

On the second day, because there was time, firecrackers were going to be set off for good fortune, so Ye Yaodong didn't go to sea at night, and stayed at home, while his father and brother A Sheng drove a boat to trawling the net.

He had to wait until the firecrackers and fireworks were set off on the shore early in the morning, and then go to the town's border guard station to give gifts, and then he could take his eldest cousin out by boat in the afternoon, and his plan was to go directly to the sea to collect squid.

At the same time, his eldest brother also stayed at home, and his second brother, like his father, took the people out to sea first to trawl the net.

After the firecrackers were set off and it was a good day, his eldest brother immediately sailed out without wasting any time!
Lin Xiuqing also cut up the pre-ordered pastries early in the morning, wrapped them in all-purpose newspapers, put them in bamboo baskets, and asked Mother Ye to carry them to the pier with a pole, and distributed them to relatives and friends who watched the excitement .

As for the border guards, she packed them in a basket alone, and waited for Ah Dong to come back from the pier after setting off the firecrackers and fireworks.

The sound of crackling firecrackers outside the pier, as well as the popping fireworks in mid-air, attracted men, women and children in the village to run out. It was rare to be able to watch the excitement and get a piece of pastry. The villagers were very active in going out to cheer.

They also ordered enough pastries, and the two boats lived together, but it was a big happy event, and the money couldn't be saved.

After Lin Xiuqing was done with the pastries, she cheerfully hugged the child, stood at the door with the old lady and looked towards the pier, and she even talked to the child.

"Did you hear that? This is the sound of firecrackers and fireworks. It was your father who bought two more boats. Our family has three boats, and next year there will be four boats."

The old lady also said jokingly: "This child can walk sideways in the village next year."

Ye Xiaoxi took a small piece of hair cake in his hand and gnawed on it. Seeing the two of them talking, it felt like they were talking about her.

She looked at this and that, hesitated for a moment, looked at the cake in her hand, finally thought about it, and stuffed it into her mother's mouth.

"Ah? I don't eat it, I don't eat it, you eat it yourself."

"Aah~"

"Eat by yourself." Lin Xiuqing took her hand again and asked her to stuff it into her mouth, saving her from sending it around.

But Ye Xiaoxi took it out of his mouth again, drooling, and stuffed it into the old lady's side again, the old lady turned her head to hide for a while.

"You eat by yourself, eat by yourself, this kid is so generous!"

"Ah~" After Ye Xiaoxi yelled twice, Lin Xiuqing grabbed her hand again and asked her to stuff it into her mouth, and then she calmed down.

"Much more generous than her brothers!" Lin Xiuqing smiled and kissed her child's cheek again.

"The two elder brothers look okay, and they will let her go."

"After all, she is still young and doesn't know how to snatch things from them, hahaha~" She also laughed as she said that.

The old lady laughed too.

Most of their neighbors left and right have gone to sea, and the women have followed suit. Digging shellfish with their shells is now one of their important jobs.

Sister-in-law Ye and second-sister-in-law Ye followed Ye Yaohua's boat first and went there at night. At this time, there was really no one at the door, only Lin Xiuqing and the old lady stood at the door.

The two stood there talking and laughing until they could no longer hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, then they happily entered the house.

As soon as the old lady sat down, she muttered happily, "I will make a lot of money soon, Mazu bless me, bless Dongzi and the others to make a lot of money..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and didn't answer, but just watched the child, not letting her run around and make trouble.

Not long after, Ye Yaodong came back with his mother carrying a basket.

Mother Ye looked beaming, "Oh, this early in the morning, the wharf is full of people, they all come to see our boat, those people seem to be free of money, but they can really say good things."

"Have you finished dividing the cakes? Is it enough?"

"It's almost there. It's okay to send it home later. Dongzi hurriedly rode his bicycle and sent this basket to the border defense station. At least let people know that we understand the rules."

"Well, I'll wash my face first. It's so hot that my brow is covered with sweat."

"I'll twist a towel for you." Lin Xiuqing smiled and actively went to the washstand to get his towel and go to the back door.

Ye Yaodong hugged Ye Xiaoxi who was wandering around the house, "Is it delicious?"

She nodded and raised her little hand again, thinking about sharing.

Ye Yaodong opened his mouth, took her hand, and took a big bite, leaving only a little bit on her fingertips. Ye Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment.

She stared at her fingers for a while, and then saw that her father was chewing in his mouth, his mouth began to flatten, and it began to brew.

"Hey Yo Yo Yo... Yo Yo Yo... Don't cry, don't cry, there are more, our family still has..."

"Wooooow, whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Ye Xiaoxi pursed his lips for a while, pondered for a while, and then burst into tears.

She was so polite, why did she really eat it?
This is not in line with common sense! ! !
The adults in the room all laughed, Mother Ye smiled and patted Ye Yaodong twice, "I want you to tease her! One big bite left her with only a little fart on her fingertips, isn't she crying?"

"Why are you crying?" Lin Xiuqing had just twisted a towel, and hurried in when she heard the cry.

Ye Xiaoxi's tears kept flowing down her face. She looked at Lin Xiuqing with tearful eyes, showed her the little hair cake on her fingertips, and then cried even louder.

She hugged the child and glanced at Ye Yaodong, who was still chewing the bar. She didn't understand why. She also slapped him twice and scolded him with a smile: "Why did you really eat it? Why are you so embarrassed to eat hers?"

"Why are you embarrassed? I'm just teasing her. Who knew I was so stingy."

"What child doesn't care about his food? It's weird if he doesn't cry when he only has a few bites left! He's not afraid that the cake in her hand has been fed to chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs!"

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened, his neck stretched, "Really?"

Lin Xiu gave him a innocent look, but didn't answer, let him think so, then hurriedly coaxed the child, and cut her a small piece again, so she stopped crying.

Ye's mother urged him, "Go to town quickly, don't delay too late, lest people miss get off work and rush to work. Aren't you going to sea at noon?"

"Go here."

Ye Yaodong picked up the kettle on the stove, held the spout to his mouth and took two sips. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then hung the basket on the table on the bicycle handlebar, and then pushed the bicycle out.

"Wait, I haven't paid you the money yet, and you haven't even bought the cigarettes and alcohol."

"Ah yes."

"So no memory," Lin Xiuqing took out the five cards of Great Unity that he had prepared in his pocket and handed them to him, "Should it be enough?"

"It's about the same. Maotai is 12 yuan. If you buy two bottles and buy some cigarettes, it should be about the same."

"Well, if it's not enough, you can make up for it with the dozen or so dollars under the pillow."

"Okay, huh?" Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, and quickly explained, "Oh, it's leftover from the camera I bought the day before yesterday, I forgot about it, I'm leaving first."

He quickly stuffed the money into his pocket, pushed the bicycle, took his sun hat and ran.

He paid half of the remaining money the day before yesterday, and kept half. He only said that the film was too expensive. When he took a shower, he deliberately took out the money in his pocket and hid it under the pillow. He just took it out this morning and put it in his pocket. up.

hateful!

All right, what are you doing under the pillow?There is nowhere to hide any money.

Ye Yaodong cursed, turned over and got on the car after leaving the door.

When he arrived in the town, he still had to buy cigarettes and alcohol, so he had to hurry up and not delay going to sea at noon.

Along the way, he rode his bicycle very fast, but fortunately he was wearing a hat to prevent sun and dust.

When he was waiting for director Tang in the bureau the day before yesterday, he saw their people coming in from time to time, and he probably knew it in his heart. There should be only a dozen or so people sitting in the office every day.

Ye Yaodong counted the number of people, he would rather buy more than less, spent all the money in his pocket, bought cigarettes and wine quickly, and by the way sorted out the hair cakes in the basket, stacked them up, and made room for them Wine, and then take the top cloth to cover it.

He also asked the boss to take a net bag to hold the cigarettes in his hand, otherwise he would not be able to put it down.

The two bottles of wine are relatively expensive, and it's not good to be too blatant, so it needs to be covered up a little bit.

The boat I just bought the day before yesterday, everyone still knows him, as soon as Ye Yaodong entered, someone asked him why he came again?It was the little police officer we chatted with the day before yesterday.

"Hi comrades, I'm here to give you cakes. Today is a good day. The boat that sailed back the day before yesterday specially set off two firecrackers this morning for auspiciousness. I sent cakes to relatives and friends. I thought it would be convenient for everyone. , I can’t drive the boat home, so I specially ride here to give it to everyone, try something new, and share the good luck.”

"It's not a good thing, but it has a good meaning. Send out cakes, send out cakes every year, and get higher every year. I wish you all can go to the next level."

Ye Yaodong said as he lifted half of the covering cloth, gave the little policeman a piece of hair cake wrapped in newspaper, and handed over two packs of cigarettes.

"A little care, a little thought."

The little police officer happily took it, "You are quite thoughtful, didn't you say it was Baisha Village the day before yesterday? I didn't expect to send it to the town specially. This hair cake is good. The town is full of noodle tea cakes, without you This hair cake has a good meaning."

"It means that this has a good meaning, you will get rich every year, and you will get better and better..."

Others also gathered around curiously. Ye Yaodong, one for each, received a piece of cake and two packs of cigarettes.

The police officers in the station were all happy and smiling, and they also said kind words such as thank you and "bon voyage". The atmosphere was warm and noisy, which actually alarmed the office inside.

The two directors came out curiously.

"What are you doing? Is there anything happy?"

"what?"

"Hello, two leaders!" Ye Yaodong quickly stepped forward and bowed, expressed his intention to come, and thanked him by the way.

"Thank you, two directors, for your hard work..."

Regardless of whether it is a matter of one sentence, or whether one person speaks or two people speak, there is nothing wrong with bringing them all.

"If you are interested, go to the office and talk."

"Hey, good."

Ye Yaodong followed with a basket, all he wanted was to go to the office and talk, otherwise it would be so easy to give a gift.

There's another one later, don't wait
