By the time Ye Yaodong came out of the village committee, it was already lunch time, and he went home again under the bright sun.

But when passing by the trail near Lin Jishang's house, he turned back to his house.

His wife was taking care of their two sons for dinner, and after asking a few questions, it turned out that he hadn't come back in the past two months, and he didn't even have time to come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He just made a phone call.

When asked when he would come back, he said he didn't know.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to give up and go home first.

The road to Lin Jishang seems to be dead. He looks busier than the president. Even his wife said she hasn't seen him a few times this year, and his son almost doesn't recognize what his biological father looks like.

After returning home, he told Lin Xiuqing about the matter again.

"Are you sure the machine you want can work? Will it be useful?"

"If it's the same kind as the ice water in summer, it will be useful. I'll call tomorrow and ask in detail. The bag is also the key. I'll see if he can arrange it for me. Give him the specifications of the entire 500 ml bag and let him match it.

Just do it for me."

"Then you should see for yourself. If you are sure it will work, then buy it. If you want to spend more money, then spend more money. The key is that it must be useful."

"Usage is definitely useful. New things will always be replaced when they come out. Things are created to make life more convenient. Just think about it. All our fish sauces come in bags and one pound. How convenient it is for people to sell it.

?You don’t have to hold bottles to punch, and transportation is much more convenient. You don’t need to carry one tank at a time, and it can also reduce the chance of damage. If a tank breaks, it will cost more than a hundred kilograms.”

"If the machine you bought doesn't work, tens of millions worth of it will be gone."

"Then don't worry. When we buy something, we must try it out on site. Only if it works can we pay for it and receive it."

"Um."

"Then I'll call and reply tomorrow. It happened to arrive before the end of the year. A large amount of fish sauce fermented in the first half of the year was filtered out and bagged during the Chinese New Year, and the volume in the second half of the year was also large."

"Those sold in the first half of the year have just paid back. Now we have to invest a lot of money, and we don't know when we will be able to pay back."

"The cost will be recovered. This is considered a technological innovation, and investment is necessary."

"Um."

Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything else, and only asked him to talk to her when he needed money.

There was nothing much to do in the afternoon, many things were waiting for the result.

When he got up from his nap, he simply called Ye Yaohai to make the decision directly. Anyway, it made no difference whether it was earlier or later, but he explained a lot of details, especially the plastic bag that needed to be packed in one pound. He tried his best to give it and find a way to arrange it for him.

It also saves him searching everywhere.

After I finished the phone call, I had a casual chat with two kelp farmers and asked about the current progress.

However, several suggestions he made were immediately rejected. He just said that he had never done it before and that they were doing it now, so he didn't say much. Anyway, he had to wait until next year to successfully breed it.

It is still in the exploratory stage, and it has not been successfully planted yet, and it is not that easy to make some changes, so it is better to follow their old method and successfully plant it first.

After returning home, he met a relative who came to rent a boat. He rented out a new boat by the way. Now he went to the dock again, identified it, and told his brother that he had to collect another boat's cargo.

A busy day passed just like that.

He had not been idle in the past two days, and had been busy with trivial matters at home. It was only on the third day that he finally relaxed and could take a breath without having to run back and forth under the bright sun.

Father Ye also asked him after breakfast, "When are you going to go to sea? I've been resting at home for two days."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him angrily, "You have been resting at home for two days. I have been busy running around for two days and running around for two days. I am exhausted and I haven't even taken a breath yet."

Father Ye was silent for a moment and then said: "Then take a day off today and go to sea tomorrow night?"

"It's okay if there are no accidents, but I feel that the sky outside is a little cloudy, and it seems like it's going to rain? When I woke up in the morning, it was still very bright, and I felt that the sun was about to come out, but now it feels cloudy. Did the Harvest say when it will come back?

?”

"Where can I know? The ship is at sea. Whether it comes back depends on the weather and the harvest."

"Well, let's tentatively decide for tomorrow night. We'll see more details tomorrow."

I don't know if he has a crow's mouth. Just after chatting with his father in the morning, the sky became gloomy in the afternoon and it started to rain. When he took a nap, he listened to the sound of rain outside, and even the air smelled of something.

Moist smell.

When he got up and opened the window, it was raining lightly, so he had to treat it as a vacation and take a breather for two more days.

Autumn has just entered, with autumn rain and coolness.

He rubbed his arms. He had been sleeping shirtless recently. When he got up, he did feel a little cold again, so he took out his long sleeves and put them on.

Originally, only the children wore long sleeves and long trousers, and the adults wore short sleeves as usual. It obviously felt a bit colder after the rain in the afternoon.

When he walked out, Ah Qing was also telling the old lady that the temperature had dropped, so he had to take out his autumn and winter clothes, and put away all his summer clothes...

"Sweater! My sweater! My rainbow sweater!"

Ye Xiaoxi was squatting and playing with dolls. When she heard this, she immediately shouted cleverly. She suddenly remembered the rainbow sweater she wanted two days ago.

She had forgotten about it at first, but when she heard that the temperature had dropped, she remembered the rainbow sweater that she had longed for.

"You look like a sweater to me!"

"Dad said..."

"Then let him knit it for you."

Ye Xiaoxi turned his head and searched everywhere. He happened to see Ye Yaodong getting up and standing at the door, and immediately ran over, hugging his feet and sitting on his insteps as a habit.

"Dad, Mom said I look like a sweater."

"Looking for a fight?"

"No, mother asked you to knit a sweater for me. You said it, you said it, you said it..." Ye Xiaoxi hugged his legs reluctantly, shaking her head and acting coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, buy, buy, buy."

He responded casually, since she would have forgotten it when she turned around later.

He changed the subject and asked Lin Xiuqing, "It's raining. Have you put away all the dried fish in the workshop?"

"It's harvested. The Harvest doesn't have much cargo before it docks. The ships at home bring back only groceries. The big ones are not dried much, but the small ones are fermented. They are all collected in a few times."

"This rain should only last for two or three days at most."

"Who knows, just listen to the weather forecast tonight and see."

"It's been two days and your father hasn't called. I don't know how the sales of those lighters are going?" Ye Yaodong sat at the table and propped up his chin and asked.

"If you're worried, why don't you call me and ask?"

"It's raining. Let's wait until it stops. If you don't call back when it stops, I'll make a call and ask."

This matter is also very important to him. He has no place to spend the money he has on hand. He can only hold more than 200,000 yuan in his hand, which makes him a little worried, fearing that it will depreciate.

If it sells well, he will make another trip to Zhejiang Province, bring back more goods, ask Fang Jingfu to buy some shares, and take two people over there to watch.

On a rainy day, the whole family was bored, and they didn't dare to turn on the TV, so they could only listen to the radio to pass the time.

But at dinner time, Ye Mu came over to eat and brought another piece of gossip.

It turned out that Ye Yaosheng's wife gave birth to a daughter in the afternoon. Aunt Ye was so angry that her face turned dark as soon as she held the baby in her hands.

"I'm telling you, I heard that if Asheng's mother-in-law hadn't been there at that time, his mother-in-law would have drowned that girl in the urine bucket. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, it's been said that the child was just born, and your second aunt

I just cursed in the room."

Ye Yaodong got angry when he heard this, "Damn, this is about human affairs? Why are they all biological? There are still two children at home who are not biological, there is no reason to drown the biological one."

I have always heard that some families drowned their children in urine buckets because they had too many daughters. But if it happens to one of your own, you shouldn't just listen to it as a rumor. It's too cruel.

Mother Ye sighed, "You don't understand. They are a reorganized family. They already have two daughters. That means Ah Sheng hasn't had his own child yet, so he can have another one, but he can only have one, regardless of gender.

.”

"Now the baby is born as a girl, so your second aunt's face is not good-looking. If she wants to give birth to the next baby, she will either have to hide it. If she is caught, she will be aborted, the house will be destroyed, and she will be fined if she gives birth."

.”

"But I think it's just rumors outside. Your second aunt can only say it verbally. It's impossible to drown the child. Ah Sheng doesn't have a child of his own yet. Although it's a girl, it's the only one he has.

At most, I am unhappy and my speech is a bit unpleasant."

"Maybe it was because of the harsh words in the delivery room that people spread the word about drowning the baby."

Everyone didn't know what to say now. Only the old lady recited Amitabha.

Lin Xiuqing also frowned, "Shengdu is born. It is also Ah Sheng's first biological child. Originally, he did not have a child of his own at this age. Now that he has one, his daughter is also a treasure to him."

"No, he said he was overjoyed when he heard the baby was born. But when he heard the scolding in the room later, he rushed in angrily, pulled his mother out, and drove him out of the door to let him

From now on, if you have nothing to do, please don’t come to his door."

"This is too lenient. If you don't have a son to support you until you die, that's Brother Asheng's business. What kind of care does she have?"

The old lady said: "If you raise a child for one hundred, you will worry about ninety-nine. Your second aunt is also worried that Asheng will not have a son in the future, and there will be no one to take care of him until his death, and there will be no one to break the basin after he dies."

"At that time, even after death, you will care about what happens after death. After all, you are dead. What happens after death is not something you can worry about. This is what future generations should worry about."

"Second aunt will also be at the forefront in the future. How can she care about Brother Asheng in his later years? Is anyone throwing a pot? They are all because they are full."

"Raising a son may not necessarily provide for old age, and there are many unfilial sons. If you work harder and save more money while you are young, why can't you provide for yourself in old age?"
