"Nonsense, don't I want to celebrate the festival soon? Everyone is out of town, do I need to give out a red envelope?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "I think it's just what you want. In the past, it was like picking at Sosou. This one was reluctant to eat, and the other was reluctant to spend it. If I eat something good, you would scold me. Now you are so generous?

"

"They earn 4.5 or 6.5 yuan a day, and they are given a day off tomorrow for the holiday. This is equivalent to a day's salary for white-collar workers, and they need red envelopes?"

"You're crazy, dad. During this time, you've been thinking about giving them red envelopes. I think it's not me who wants to be the president, but you who want to be the president. Are you shaking?"

Father Ye told him that he was speechless.

"I...I didn't expect you to be so generous before, giving them red envelopes when you catch big fish, and giving them red envelopes after repelling pirates..."

"You also said that at that time, we caught 110,000 kilograms of plum fish in one net, and then we repelled the pirates. Isn't this a deserved reward? The fishing boat had a bumper harvest for the first time on the sea and also gave one

, and that’s right. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it’s enough to take a day off. Tomorrow, we’ll have some good wine, meat, and good food to say hello to you.”

"Don't hold your hands so loosely, otherwise people will think you are easy to get money here, and you are not stupid because you have too much money? It's enough to give you such a high salary. Pay the salary before going back, and give me a red envelope to thank you for your hard work during this time.

Okay. Don’t keep giving red envelopes, you’ll get spoiled.”

"According to what you said, the Red Tide caught so much stuff some time ago, you have to give one; when you become the president, you have to give one more; during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you have to give one more; when you go back, you have to give one more; they are

Are you here to work, or are you here to receive red envelopes?"

"You're just crazy! President, father, please be patient, it's not easy for your son to make money."

Father Ye looked a little unnatural when he told him. He coughed dryly and said, "I'm overthinking it. I was also thinking that I caught so many people some time ago that I didn't give out red envelopes. It just so happened that I became the president again and met someone again.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival and double happiness is coming, so I suggested again, if you don't want to give it, I won't give it."

"You don't have to give it to others. I'll give it to you. My mother took away all the private money you hid under your pillow some time ago, right?"

Ye Yaodong had an expression on his face that said, "I don't know you yet."

His father finally saved some private money, and after a quarrel with his mother, the money was confiscated and lost. During that time, the two elders did not speak to each other for several days.

"I have it, I don't need you to give it to me."

"I'll get it for you when I get back to the house. I'll get you some food money by the way. You can go buy food tomorrow. Buy whatever you want to eat. Make a few more meats and vegetables for a table. I'll also have a few pounds of wine."

Now Father Ye was happy, "Okay, I'll go shopping for groceries tomorrow and buy some good food. It's a rare holiday and everyone is in a different place, so I have to give everyone food and drink."

"Um."

Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong locked the courtyard door and took a group of people to call home to report that he was safe.

He asked everyone to take turns to finish the phone call first, and then they could go shopping as long as they didn't cause trouble. He and his father would make the last call and pay the bill.

Lin Xiuqing, who was on the phone, also waited until the last one before taking the phone from the last person.

"We all thought you would come back in the next two days, and we didn't call in advance to say you wouldn't come back. Everyone was waiting for you to come back."

"The weather has been good these past few days, and I have been fishing continuously, so I have forgotten the time. I earn hundreds of dollars a day and can't bear to go back. I just want to stay a few more days. Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival can be celebrated every year. If I go back this time

I won’t come here again this year. I might as well stay a few more days until the weather gets cooler and it’s not suitable to go into the water before going back.”

"Because you didn't tell me in advance, the younger ones in the family thought you would be back in the next two days, and they were already counting the days on their fingers."

"They are thinking about asking for gifts, right? It's a lie that they want me to go back, but they are really asking for gifts."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "As you know, the stationery I bought at the beginning of school gave them a good meal. When I came back from school in the past few days, they were all chirping there, saying how much their classmates envied them for having cartoon stationery."

"Chenghu's calligraphy is practiced every day, right?"

At this time, Ye Chenghu also shouted on the phone, "Dad, please don't buy any more. Buy something else. Don't buy me copybooks. I can't finish writing. It's so annoying."

"I know, bring more when you go back."

"don't want."

"I brought this home from Zhejiang Province. It's further away than the provincial capital."

Ye Chenghu was extremely troubled. He didn't want to write it, but he wanted it very much. If he wanted it, he could take it to school to show off to other students and get a lot of envious looks.

Lin Xiuqing laughed and said, "Stop teasing him. Recently, he has been asked to write a big letter every day, and his writing has become more and more neat. In the future, if he can't read, he can use his handwriting to bluff people, which is fine."

It’s okay, I have to keep practicing for him.”

"By the way, I have something to tell you. A fishery association has been established in the city here, and I was hired as the vice president of the fishery association..."

"Ah? What?"

"Yes, that's what you heard, vice president of the Fisheries Association."

Lin Xiuqing was confused for a moment, "What is this for?"

"I don't know what others do. Anyway, I have a sinecure job." Ye Yaodong told him the story from beginning to end.

"So, just because you proposed this association, they thought it was feasible and could be established after discussion, and then they got your name?"

Lin Xiuqing was a little surprised. He just went fishing, why did he catch an official?

It seemed to her that the president of this association was just like the leaders of some government agencies and departments, how could he be so casually parachuted in and arranged?

"With the help of the leader, a big fish was brought into the institute during that time, and maybe it also attracted votes? I'm not sure. Anyway, it happened to be decided yesterday, and I also received the letter of appointment. It's a holiday today, so I can go there tomorrow.

Submit the photo to keep the record, and pay the membership fee."

"Oh, will you come back then..."

"Nonsense, if I don't come back, will I really be able to settle down here, get a wife, and have a few more children?"

Lin Xiuqing said dullly: "It's not impossible. The aunts and uncles in the village are saying that if the bosses outside make a lot of money, they will buy a house in the place where they make money, and then marry a wife..."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of those nuns. I will go back in about half a month. By then the weather will be cold, and the matter here should be almost over. It's just a name. It's definitely not my turn to do things, and it won't be my turn.

You will definitely not ask me to do anything."

"oh."

"I'll go and remit 10,000 yuan to you after I hang up the phone. Please pay attention in the next few days, remember to check the telegram, and then get the money back."

"real!"

Lin Xiuqing's spirits were lifted. She changed her mood from just now. There was a smile on her face, her mood improved, and her tone of voice became more relaxed.

"I'll keep an eye on it these days."

"Are you happy now? In reality, I can only talk to you about money."

"Then go and remit the money quickly. It's unsafe to carry so much money around with you. You should remit the money before making the call."

"I came out too early. The bank was not open, so I called first."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at his father beside him, "Do you want to talk to my mother?"

Father Ye waved his hand, "If you have anything to say, you have said everything that needs to be said. I have nothing to say."

"If dad says he has nothing to say to mom, then I'll give up."

Mother Ye's loud voice rang out at this time, "Why are there nothing to say? You have nothing to say after you go out? You have nothing to say to me, so who can you talk to? If you go out and don't know when you come back, forget it, even a word

It’s all gone. I’ve only been out for a month and that’s it. If I stay a few more months, I won’t have to come back.”

Ye Yaodong felt the vibration while holding the phone in his hand. He quickly put the phone further away from his ears, fearing that his father might not hear clearly, and quickly put it into his father's ear to avoid damaging his eardrums.

Father Ye was so shocked when he put his ear to the phone that he quickly tried to take it farther away, but he couldn't hold it firmly and fell to the table, which made the counter sister stare, while Mother Ye on the other end of the phone started to curse again.

"I have such a bad temper that I can't even talk about it anymore. I even threw the phone and broke it. Can I afford to pay for it? I act recklessly. The older I get, the more angry I become..."

Father Ye was angry, "Have you said enough? You talk all day long, and your voice is so loud that my ears are going to go deaf. Why don't you hold it farther away? It makes me lose my grip on the phone."

"What should be said, Dongzi has just said it, what else do you want me to say? What is there to say? I will go back in half a month. Whatever you want to hear, you can just talk slowly then. The phone bill

Don’t you want money? There are so many people taking turns on the phone. The call has lasted for almost an hour. Okay, I’ve finished talking and hung up.”

"Dududu..."

Ye's father hung up immediately after saying this, not giving Ye's mother a chance to react.

Then quickly pick out your ears.

"My ears were deafened by her shouting. She was so loud. Even though she is old, she is still arrogant every day."

"Hang up so quickly, my mother is probably yelling at the phone right now."

"Anyway, I can't hear it, so I scolded her. Hurry up and pay the bill. You still have to go and remit the money."

"Um."

Father Ye went to the post office with Ye Yaodong and watched him finish the money transfer before going to buy groceries.

It was just a matter of buying groceries, and there was no need for two people. Ye Yaodong went out to wander around alone.

I bought some small things that I had never seen before, or small toys that I didn’t have at home. It was rare that I had time to go shopping, so I just bought some first, and then went out to buy some specialties before going home.

.

But after he took his personal ID photo and was walking around, he saw an acquaintance, Fang Jingfu, whom he also just met.

He arranged the cloth bag he was carrying, which was already full of small gadgets. He stepped forward and said hello, "Comrade Fang Jingfu."

"Huh? What a coincidence."
