Are we going to be poor too? There is nothing wrong with learning how to manage the money in our hands in advance."

"If money is tight and the family is poor, there is nothing we can do. The children have to help work to earn money to supplement the family income. That is right. If money is loose, the children have worked hard, so it is right to give them some sweet dates."

"I calculate wages for them, not to subsidize the eldest brother and the second brother's family, but to give them pocket money. The eldest brother and the second brother have also saved some money in the past two years, so how can I help them?"

Ye Yaodong originally didn't want to be nagging, and it wasn't his fault. How could he teach his elder brother and sister-in-law to do things? If they failed to protest, then let's just say the protest failed. At most, they wouldn't be paid openly next time, and they would be paid secretly.

He had planned this at the beginning, but a few idiots were so happy that they shouted out.

But when his mother glanced at him, didn't it mean that he had spoiled them and made those children learn to resist?

Then he had to say a few words.

It turned out that the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were too picky and had little money in their hands. How could a child not be greedy? Of course he had to give sweet dates.

What's more, he originally gave them pocket money under some pretext, which was regarded as a reward for helping them with work, so it would be inappropriate to collect them all like this.

The children's enthusiasm for work was dampened.

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye had already entered the house. Although they heard what he said, they were too embarrassed to run out to refute the argument. After all, they were making money from him now.

Brother Ye, Brother Ye, felt a little embarrassed when he said that to him. He smiled and didn't know what to say. In fact, he thought what he said was quite reasonable. They shouldn't take what was given to the children.

But my daughter-in-law makes sense, and a child shouldn’t have so much money in his hands.

Ye Mu was the same. She was blocked by his words and didn't know how to refute. She was at a loss for words.

After saying this, Ye Yaodong felt that it was boring, so he hugged Ye Xiaoxi, who had come with the old lady to watch the fun, and went home directly. Lin Xiuqing quickly followed behind.

The old lady was also angry and hit Father Ye's leg again, "It's still Dongzi who knows what happened. You all treat your children as different adults."

"What does it have to do with me? Why are you hitting me?"

"You are my son. If I don't hit you, I will hit you. If you are old and outdated, you were born to me too."

"Nervous, I took the wrong medicine." Ye's father glared at the old lady and turned to go home.

Mother Ye pursed her lips and murmured, "Is it true that a group of children are making trouble?"

Everyone dispersed instantly, those who went home went home, and the old lady slowly walked back to the next door on crutches.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang saw how stingy their eldest and second aunts were. Ye Chenghai and the others didn't get anything, so they were a little afraid to ask their mother for wages.

Originally, Lin Xiuqing had promised to give it to them when she went home, but now they were dejected. Their little eyes looked at their parents from time to time, but they didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would be beaten if they didn't get their wages.

It's really the uncle who owes money, and those who ask for money must be careful.

Children have no human rights.

Lin Xiuqing was not that fussy, watching the two of them slowly move to the TV, and then glance at her from time to time, but did not speak.

I could tell from my buttocks that the two wanted to beg for money but didn't dare to. They were frightened by the fight that just happened next door.

She touched her pocket, took out two brand new one-dollar papers, and handed them to them. The two brothers' eyes were instantly brighter than the stars in the sky and hotter than the sun in the sky.

"One for each person. Keep it for me and don't spend it. If I know that you have spent all the money, I will take off your pants and beat you into strips. I will beat you all out."

As if they had found a treasure, each of them drew a piece, and then held it tightly in the palm of his hand. They were so happy that they nodded in response.

"Hmm, if we don't spend it, we will definitely save it."

"That's right, I'll keep it, mom, don't worry."

Ye Chengyang helped with the work at home all day long, but he didn't care if his mother gave him less. It was good if he could give him more. He grinned and was very happy.

"It's new! Brother, this is new money!"

"Well, it's so new~"

After Ye Chenghu responded happily, he immediately turned around and ran upstairs, preparing to hide the money, which he had earned with his own hands.

Ye Yaodong's depressed expression also relaxed, and he smiled and said to Lin Xiuqing: "Next time you go to the market, buy a piggy bank for each of them to save money, so as not to hide it everywhere all day and not find it next time."

"How much money can you save and return to the piggy bank..."

"It's hard to say. There is a lot of work at home, and the children help with it. Just give them a little bit at a time, which will also increase their enthusiasm for work. Moreover, this is what they have earned through their own labor, and the meaning is different. Let them save it.

And if you give them more new money in the future, they will definitely not be willing to spend it."

Lin Xiuqing smiled, she thought so too, she would be reluctant to spend the new money.

She herself has an obsession with new money. As long as the money Ye Yaodong brings back is new, she will put it flat and neatly, reluctant to fold it a little and put it away separately.

During the Chinese New Year, she got a lot of new money he brought back.

"Well, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are really reluctant to give me a piece, so just give me a few cents. Next time, none of them will do it. Give me a piece. In fact, they won't spend it randomly. After all,

It’s been years since I’ve been eating, at most, one or two cents worth of snacks every day. If you give a big one yuan, they probably won’t be able to take it out to get change, so they must have saved it.”

That's why she simply took a brand new one-dollar note instead of giving change. If she was given change, she would probably spend it in two-cent pieces, but if it was a whole one-dollar note, she would definitely not be willing to take it out to find change.

.

What’s more, it’s brand new!

"Ignore them, the children will definitely not help with the work next time. If they do, your wages will be given directly to the children and put in their hands. As for the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, can they get it from them again?

, then it depends on their abilities.”

"Okay, then do you want to go to sea at night?"

"The weather forecast says there will be heavy fog tomorrow, but I don't know if it's true or not. It's obviously foggy in the morning, so I don't know if it's because of the wind. I'll take a rest at night and take a look."

"Let me prepare your clothes first. They are all washed and dried anyway."

Ye Yaodong suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "The quilt hasn't been dried yet. My dad is so stupid. I asked him to remember to take down the quilt from the boat and dry it. I don't know where to go."

"Didn't you forget it yourself? It's also my fault. I've been busy with the work in the workshop these days and forgot to remind you. I'll just cover it this time. Remember next time. It's been too long. When the time comes,

If you cover it with moisture, you will easily get sick."

"Forget it's dark now. I won't go to sea tomorrow. I'll go to the boat to get the quilt tomorrow morning. If there's sun, it'll be enough to dry it for half a day. If there's no sun, I'll take it out to dry to avoid the fishy smell.

After I finished my work, I got into bed, and the bed was very fishy. All I dreamed about in the middle of the night was fish."

After Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang climbed upstairs, they couldn't bear to come down. Even Ye Xiaoxi sneaked up the stairs to play with them.

Even the sound of the TV turning on downstairs can't attract them. The charm of money is infinite.

Lin Xiuqing also took out her account book and wrote down records there, pressing the calculator constantly.

Ye Yaodong never paid attention to the family's accounts. He sat watching TV and kept his hands busy.

The last batch of dried shrimps weighed several hundred kilograms. After drying and shelling, the goods came back again.

In the past few days, I have been busy killing and drying fish there, and there are still some dried shrimps that have not yet been shelled.

He didn't know it at first, but in the afternoon Aqing saw him sitting there eating melon seeds and gnawing sugar cane. The food was all over the floor. He was annoyed, so he brought a bag of shrimps back from the workshop and found something for him to do.

Lest he have nothing to do, find something for her to do.

He wrapped a bunch of shrimps in a nylon bag, then crushed them several times with a beer bottle, then poured them into a round bamboo plate, and let the old lady pick and remove the shells.

While shelling, the old lady kept talking about what had just happened, feeling sorry for her great-grandson.

"I don't know if anyone will come to buy candy tomorrow. If so, I'll buy a few more pieces to give them sweet treats... I didn't even get a bite..."

"Work for the landlord, and the landlord will give you a share of the grain..."

"The poor ones have no feet touching the ground and have been busy for several days..."

Ye Yaodong ignored her and recited as she pleased. Elderly people love to recite. No matter whether they want to hear it or not, whether they like it or not, they just want to recite a few words.

He originally thought that a group of children had failed to please and would see them going to school dejectedly the next day.

Unexpectedly, when he got up early and stood at the door to stretch, he saw them laughing and chatting as happily as sparrows early in the morning.

"Hurry up, it's time to go to school~"

"Let's go~ hurry up~"

"I go to school and I'm not late every day~"

"No, no, that's not what you sang. I went to blow up the school. The teacher didn't know. As soon as I pulled the string, I ran away and the school disappeared~"

"Hahaha~ I want to tell the teacher~"

"You accuser!"

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, and the bird is saying, early, early, early, early, why are you carrying a bag of explosives~"

Everyone started laughing and singing at the door, which was a bit beyond his expectation. Shouldn't they have slumped shoulders, depressed faces, and yelled curses?

"What good thing is there to be so happy about, you guys? Did you pick up money in your dream last night?"

"Hey, Third Uncle~" Ye Chenghe ran excitedly and actively from the next door to him, and then whispered, "Third Uncle, let me tell you, yesterday my father secretly came to our room to give us money."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Is there such a good thing?"

He nodded and said, "Yes, you must not tell it. Don't let my mother know. My father asked us not to tell our mother. Otherwise, he will not give us money in the future, and the money will be stolen by my mother."

Take it away."

"How much did you pay?"
