Father Ye was sitting at home, and life came from heaven.

As soon as I returned to my home after dinner, I sat in front of my house and played with my private seal, bragging to my neighbors that it would come in handy in the future, when I was dragged away by a bunch of grandchildren running over.

"What? Your third uncle called you here? He can really give me jobs...I can't even take a breath..."

"I'm going to walk by myself. Don't pull me away. Don't rush me. I'll go take a look. I'll surround you when I get back..."

"You still need a scarecrow, why are you working so hard? You will find something for me to do every day..."

He babbled as he walked, "Fortunately, there are no banana trees planted. Otherwise, you would have to ask me to climb trees and cut bananas? How long can I keep working for you with my old bones?"

"If I plant banana trees, I won't need you..."

"Yes, all of you are monkeys."

…

After Ye Yaodong came in from the pier, he passed by the workshop and turned to his own workshop to watch everyone talking about killing fish in full swing.

They encountered a law enforcement ship arresting a smuggling fishing boat at sea. After one night, it had already spread to the public.

That's why he went directly to the sea this morning and didn't hear anything. He only heard it now.

However, no one thought that people around their village would be arrested. Everyone just gloated and talked about the misfortune, otherwise they would be sad.

It was also reported that they fished some foreign smoke from the water.

Let’s just say there is no wall that is airtight.

But he doesn't care, he doesn't care, if it can be spread there, it will be spread to the relevant departments in the city.

If something is fished out of the sea, one would not send people to spit it out with great fanfare. It is not a cultural relic, and the law is not perfect.

Moreover, the few cartons of cigarettes he caught were nowhere compared to the three large cartons of cargo that were detained.

The most everyone can do is spread the word around. These days there is little information, the news doesn’t circulate, and it can’t reach the city.

It’s so exciting now, but there will be other news in a few days.

"So, I still have to work for A Dong, and I can take advantage of whatever I get. I have never smoked foreign cigarettes in my life..."

"I don't think I've ever seen you before in my life."

"Indeed...who would be willing to take it out and smoke it."

"I think they all went to town to change money today."

"This can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money. It seems that A Dong has made a fortune again. I heard that A Guo and others are going to send their children to work abroad. All of them named Ye will be successful..."

"I heard that they have been raising money in the past two days. One of them can cost several thousand, so it won't break the bank. I met them yesterday and they said they were going to send two of them to work abroad."

"I heard that I borrowed money from A Dong. I should have borrowed it, right? With A Dong's help, what do you have to worry about?"

"I heard that it's easy to find jobs abroad. Making money is easier than drinking water. As long as you go abroad, you won't have to worry about food and drink."

"They also have relatives who are overseas Chinese..."

Where there are a lot of people, there are a lot of words. He listened to a lot just by walking around.

I don’t know what his father said to his second uncle yesterday?

He lifted his feet and walked home again.

The whole family had already eaten. They knew that he had gone to sea with Secretary Chen and didn't know when he would come back, so they didn't wait for him to eat. They just left the food for him to warm in the pot.

When Lin Xiuqing saw him coming back, she arranged food for him.

"How about kelp? Is it really ready to be harvested?"

"It's almost the same. Take care of it and leave it for another three to five days. It can still gain a little more weight. Let's collect it in a few days."

"Then do you still plan to charge 6 cents?"

"When I finish my meal, I'll call and ask about the price. It's still the same price without much change."

"How much quantity can be harvested from the offshore test field?"

"We can harvest about 89 to 10 tons per acre. The output is not low. If we collect them all, we should be able to get 300 tons, which is probably enough for them to work for more than half a month."

"If you dry 10 jins per jin, can you make 30 tons of it? If 1 jin is 6 cents, can you earn three to four thousand?"

Ye Yaodong was stunned when he heard how fast she calculated. His mind went blank for a moment.

But for just a moment, he forgot about it again. Anyway, that's how much his wife said she could sell, and it was almost the same amount.

By then, if a family works on more than a dozen acres, they can earn one to two thousand a year, which is quite a lot.

Workers earn 40 to 50 yuan a month, but they only earn 500 to 600 yuan in a year.

You can earn one or two thousand by cultivating kelp. Although the whole family can work together, if the population is large, you can also cultivate more, which is better than doing other things.

And it’s not like you work there all year round. It’s equivalent to working half a year and taking half a year off. You can also do other things at other times.

If it spreads, the whole village will start breeding, and it will soon become a famous and wealthy village in the county.

"This is only the first year. I'll take better care of it with experience in the coming year, so I might charge a little more."

Lin Xiuqing's face beamed with joy when she heard this, "That's great. You can earn one or two thousand yuan a year, which is better than anything else, and you don't have to leave your hometown."

"Not everyone in our village has a boat, there is little land, and there are more people than work. Many people can only survive on grains. Most of them are a family of more than ten people, all just trying to save a living.

Money is hard to come by.”

"Secretary Chen has been to our house several times in the past few days to see when you will come back. When I go out to buy meat, I can hear the villagers discussing when to harvest the kelp. They are all looking forward to it."

Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "If this batch of kelp is collected and sold at a good price, it will also be a political achievement of the village cadres. They will be proud of their faces when they go to the county to report to meetings."

"Then are you going to watch at home these days?"

"No, tell them to harvest in three to five days. They will naturally be busy themselves. Harvesting is also a big project. It will be good if it can be completed by May. I don't have time to wait at home until they have all harvested.

If I'm at home, I'll collect it; if I'm not at home, you'll collect it for him."

"good."

"I went out early in the morning, but my second uncle didn't come back? Did dad say anything?"

"No, mother is here at noon, what can dad say? How dare he say anything?"

"That's right, then just ignore him."

After having lunch, Ye Yaodong went around the workshop and wanted to take a nap, but who knew that Secretary Chen came to visit again.

He thought he was talking about kelp again, or urging him to ask about the price, but he didn't expect that he was here to talk to him.

"You are about to join the party. Prospective party members also have to pass the review. Smuggling is illegal. You can't do anything illegal and directly bear the cost of smuggling for him."

"Activists who join the party must set an example. Just let your second uncle's family run around."

"oh……"

Ye Yaodong responded casually and poured him tea first. His enthusiasm for joining the party was average, but he was beginning to find it troublesome and he had to go to the party school.

"Don't ignore it. Joining the party is a great thing. There has been a lot of buzz in the village in the past two days. I originally wanted to tell you this morning, but I forgot about it, so I made a special trip this afternoon."

"I went to talk to him yesterday and criticized him. He shouldn't make such a big fuss and cause a fuss."

Well, since they came to my door yesterday, it shows that it is not painful at all, and I know that the village committee cannot control it too leniently.

"I know, I'm not stupid. I just bear all the smuggling expenses for him. He's not my father. He's not my father, nor my ancestors."

"It's good to know. Everyone knows you are rich now."

"How much money does it take to be rich? The smuggling fee of more than 10,000 yuan is enough for me to have a boatload of children. What about the wealthy family?"

Secretary Chen's mouth twitched, "Are you still alive?"

"If we don't give birth, three will be enough to give us a headache."

"Well, that's good to know."

Ye Yaodong just thought that he would take as much as others would take. It would be nice to give him 5,000 yuan. How could he be so stupid that he gave out more than 10,000 yuan?

His father didn't even dare to open his mouth. If his second uncle dared to open his mouth, he would be kicked out and no one would say anything.

In other words, now that he is rich and famous, he has become president, and he is ready to join the party, so he must cherish his reputation.

What relatives and friends do is not a problem for them. They just follow what they do. There are definitely not many.

If something happens, you can't blame him. If you succeed, all your relatives and friends will support you. That's fine.

After Secretary Chen finished speaking, he left.

Ye Yaodong didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he would just tell him when he would come to see him again, and he didn't rush to give him money.

It's just that for two days in a row, he didn't see his second uncle come to the door again, which made him a little confused.

His father has been busy making scarecrows for the past two days, going up the mountain to chop bamboo, and surrounding the cherry grove for the children. He only comes here during meal time.

It was hard for him to ask in front of his mother, so he simply ignored it.

It was after his father peeled the bamboo, called their brothers for help, and brought some broken nets to surround the small cherry grove that he had time to talk to his father.

"Second uncle, have you got the money for smuggling?"
