I couldn't help but admire his grand scheme, but in their hearts they definitely didn't want to. The money they earned was not enough for them to spend, so how could they donate it to others.

However, they had no position to speak, so they remained silent throughout the process and listened to their own discussions.

"You two brothers are going to the shipyard now? Are you going to buy another boat? You already have so many boats, why are you still buying another boat?" the village chief asked in surprise?

"Haha, isn't the boat my dad drove us quite old? We two brothers plan to order two first, and wait until the big boat is available in two years. Anyway, we can rent it and make money."

Ye Yaohua also echoed, "Yes, Dongzi always said that it is useless to keep money in your hands, you have to use it to make money. We brothers don't know how to make money, so we just thought it would not be wrong to buy a boat."

"Yes, that's the truth. Money won't grow if you leave it alone. You have to use it to make money."

"It's okay to add a few more clubs, just think of it as saving money."

When the two brothers heard what the village chief said, they both laughed. Once they were bitten by a snake, they had been afraid of well ropes for ten years. How could they dare to do it now? They might as well learn from Dongzi and buy a boat.

"Adong plans to donate 600 yuan to Thean Hou Temple to fulfill his wish. Do you brothers want to donate some as well?" the village chief asked enthusiastically.

"Well……"

The two brothers looked at each other.

"In the end, we have to go back and discuss it. Besides, we are planning to buy a boat. If we really want to donate money, we won't be able to donate much."

"It doesn't matter. It's not compulsory. Donating more or less is your intention. Donating even a dime is a merit."

The two nodded.

Seeing that the two of them were in trouble, Ye Yaodong quickly changed the topic, "It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. I came back yesterday and today is just the right time to fulfill my wish. I will donate it now. Ah Qing will go to the house and count six hundred yuan and give it to me."

"I just came back from burning incense, so go over and pay your respects, donate some money, and you can take care of the rest. I won't care about it."

"Okay, okay, let's take care of the rest."

Lin Xiuqing took out a wad of money and very thoughtfully wrapped it in a piece of red paper.

If you want to donate it to the Mazu Temple, you should first place it in front of the Mazu statue and worship it. It is better to wrap it in red paper.

Ye Yaodong took the money and went to Mazu Temple with the village chief and Secretary Chen, and his father and mother followed behind.

The two brothers had nothing to do anyway, so they went to take a look.

The donation was also very simple. He placed the money in front of the Mazu statue as an offering, and the temple attendant lit three more incense sticks and handed them to him.

Ye Yaodong whispered to Mazu about the donation, told Mazu how to deal with it, and then put the incense into the incense burner in front of him.

"Okay, I'm done. You can watch it yourself. After the offering is done, keep the money and discuss it with the school."

"Okay, then you go about your business and leave the rest to us."

What Ye Yaodong didn't expect was that he also went to the shipyard. When he came back in the afternoon, he realized that the radio in the village had been playing on a loop all day.

And I heard that in the afternoon, the village committee also brought a loudspeaker and asked people to ride bicycles to shout back and forth in the village.

This would embarrass him, but luckily no one else was there.

However, during the whole day when he was not at home, quite a few people came to visit, all of them were relatives who could barely hold their own.

I don't borrow money without asking, I just come over to congratulate, say good things, or just stand for a while to chat and feel present.

Lin Xiuqing was very tired after a day of dealing with it. When he got home, he saw her scattering melon seed shells all over the yard.

"Has the boat of the eldest brother and the second brother been decided?"

"Well, it was agreed that delivery would not be until the middle of next year at the earliest."

"Shall we deliver both boats together?"

"Yes, otherwise, if one ship is early and the other is late, they won't have to fight or fight? There are several groups in the factory, producing at the same time. If the problem is not big, they should be able to deliver at the same time. Even if it is a difference, it should be

Not much different.”

"The main reason is that the demand is getting bigger year by year. Their factory is hiring more people every year, and other factories are laying off people. Their factory is quite popular." Ye Yaodong said as he pushed the bicycle into the house.

Lin Xiuqing followed closely behind him, "It's settled then. When the big ship arrives, we can rent it out."

"Um."

"Then will you go to the city tomorrow?"

"Well, I'll go to the market tomorrow, transport a batch of dried fish from home, and calculate the accounts for the past two months with my father. This should accumulate a lot of money."

"My dad sent a gift last month. This month's gift should be worth seven to eight thousand yuan. In the past two months, Boss Zhou has not asked for goods from the army. My dad said there are only a few here and there.

A piece of one or two hundred pounds."

"That's fine. I sell for two to three hundred a day and make at least one-third of the net profit from selling it. When I get the money back tomorrow, how much money do we have?"

"good."

Ye Yaodong actually knew that before he left, his family still had nearly 20,000 yuan.

During that time, I paid the final payment for Uncle Pei's big ship, and paid the deposit for his eldest and second brother's big ship partnership. I also collected a few additional accounts to make up for some expenses.

I earned another 50,000 yuan in the past two months. My father-in-law received a month's payment, which is equivalent to almost covering the expenses of letting Ah Cai collect fresh fish in the past two months.

Last night, Lin Xiu settled all her earnings in the past two months. He almost knew the family's financial situation, so he didn't ask her to take out the money separately.

It won't be too late to wait until the payment for the goods from the city is collected tomorrow.

This year is indeed a good year and a prosperous year.

Ye Yaodong happily went to take a shower and wash his hair first. He had been out all day and was covered in dust. It would take several years before the road would be built.

The old lady was sitting in front of the stove watching the fire. When she saw the couple talking, she didn't come over. The unique aroma of rice was already coming out of the pot. After he finished taking a bath and took a rest, he would probably be able to eat right away.

He said he had come back and had a good rest for a few days, but in fact he didn't take any rest either. Today he went to the shipyard, and tomorrow he was going to the city. The day after tomorrow he was thinking of sending his motorcycle to the province for repairs, and the day after tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

You can't just be a cow and a horse, you have to take more breaks.

When Lin Xiu finished cleaning and entered the house, she remembered that there was something she had forgotten to tell Ye Yaodong.

"Ah Guang came to our house to look for you, but when you weren't there, he asked me about the donation."

"Did you hear it through the speakers?"

"Yeah, I just told him about it, and he said that he would go back and ask his father to see, and I guess he would also donate, right?"

"He has also earned a lot in the past two months. He earns more than a boat by himself. He should also consider adding some sesame oil money to Mazu Temple. The village committee is planning to set up a merit box. This batch of earnings

Those who have money should be willing to donate more or less to Thean Hou Temple to fulfill their wishes."

"Yes, when I played the trumpet there in the afternoon, I also said that you were doing it to fulfill your wishes, add merit, and ask Mazu to bless you for a smoother next year."

"It's a good thing. If more people donate, there will be more funds. In the coming year, if we make more money and donate more money, and if we make less money and donate less money, there will be no pressure. Otherwise, there will be no such scholarships and bursaries year after year, which is not good."

"If there are more people donating, we don't have to pay for the scholarship ourselves. After they pass the review, it will be given directly to the Mazu Temple."

"It's okay, the scholarship won't cost much, and the tuition won't cost much."

Lin Xiuqing now has a large amount of money in her hands and doesn't care about the scholarship. She just wants to talk about it casually.

"It's already five o'clock. Why hasn't your son come back yet? He has to eat. Yangyang, too, hasn't seen anyone all afternoon. Where is he dead?"

"Does school usually finish at 3:30?"

"Yes, I was just having fun along the way. I got home at 4:30 at most. I don't know if I was left behind by the teacher."

"Did they bring toys to school to play with and were reluctant to come back? Oh! Skates, did they bring skates to school?"

Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the skates, "I went to look for them in the house. When I went out in the morning, I checked that they didn't bring them with me. They didn't even let them bring their toy cars. In the afternoon, I was busy with the door-to-door visits.

The relatives I chatted with didn’t know when they would leave.”

As he spoke, he went into the house, wandered around and came out again.

"It's really gone. These two bastards took the skates to school secretly when I wasn't paying attention. I guess they haven't come back yet and are going to beat them up."

"I haven't seen Ah Hai and the others come back either. I'll ride my bike to the school to take a look."

These playful people probably brought their skates to school to show off and skated there by the way, so they haven't come back yet.

If they don't show off the new equipment they just got, and slide it on for a while, they won't be happy with it.

Just as he was going out on his bicycle, his second brother also came out on his bicycle.

"Chenghu didn't come back either?"

"No, I was planning to go to the school to have a look."

"Me too, let's go with that one."

Ye Yaopeng was also shouting at the door, asking them to bring the three of his family back.

There is no need to send all the children out to send them home.

However, other children were indeed playing and falling on their skates at school, but Ye Chenghe was left behind by the teacher, who called his brother Ye Chenghai to go home and call his parents.

Ye Chenghai turned around and forgot about it, focusing on skating on his own.

When the two brothers first walked into the school, they saw a small flat open space above the playground. There were especially many children. All of them were carrying schoolbags and reluctant to go home. They gathered around to watch a group of his children skating.

"These little brats really secretly brought their skates to school to skate."

"Haha, I'll beat you if you take it home. I don't know how to go home so late."
