"Then let's discuss it and see when we can take a day off and go take a look together. It's better to go earlier. If it's late, we'll be delayed again..."

Ye Yaodong listened to them talking about it and was thinking about it. He didn't know whether Aguang and his son had that plan. Did they discuss it there at night?

He raised his feet and planned to walk towards his home, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again.

Forget it, there is no one who keeps chasing people to spend money. Everything that should be said was broken into pieces by the father and son and fed to them. It was up to them to see if they could digest it. If they couldn't digest it, there was nothing he could do.

In the past two days, I have taken them to the province and then to the city. I have done enough.

It's a bit annoying to keep chasing people to buy this or that like him, and to impose his own ideas on others. Everyone has different ideas. Although he is right, others don't know.

Slowly, he walked back again. He might as well go home and lie down. Today was another day of running around, so he should recharge his batteries and go to bed early.

However, Ye Xiaoxi was still playing in the yard as usual, with the two hairy crabs in his hands already looking a little dying.

She doesn’t know who taught her the method or she came up with it herself.

At this time, she was throwing the two hairy crabs into the water, then lifting them up again, throwing them in and lifting them out again, repeating this, as if this would keep them alive, but she didn't know that they might die faster.

It's also possible that she just wants to play in the water, so she tosses two hairy crabs like this.

When Ye Yaodong passed by her, he stretched out his hand to save her, "Stop playing, if your clothes get wet later, your mother should beat you and let you and your brother get into the corner together. Give me these two

Take it in, put it in the pot, and cook it for you to eat."

Cook it while it's still alive, otherwise you'll have to throw it away if it dies, which is a waste.

And Ye Xiaoxi also followed behind him, shouting happily, "Eat crab, eat crab~"

Of the two people in the main room, one was still standing in the corner. He probably heard the sound of him coming back at the door, so he still stood upright, otherwise he wouldn't believe he could be so honest.

The other one was still doing his homework with a frown on his face. The pencil he held in his hand was so short that it almost reached his jaw. The other end of the pencil was full of teeth marks and a small piece of sawdust was bitten by him.

Ye Yaodong shook his head, "Didn't your mother give you money to buy a pen?"

"Ah? Can't I still write this?"

"All right."

Those who don’t know think he is very diligent, diligent and frugal.

Ye Yaodong untied the straw tied to the legs of the two crabs, then threw it into the pot, poured a ladle of water into it, put a small piece of Jiang in, and went to the door to catch a few shrimps.

If I really peeled the crabs for this girl to eat, I would have troubled him to death, and he wouldn't have to eat them. He could just cheat with a few shrimps.

In order to get a bite to eat, Ye Xiaoxi followed him out of curiosity and kept following him out, almost stepping on her by accident.

"Where's your mother?"

"Wash bang bang~"

"oh."

Then he can boil the water himself.

Ye Yaodong sat in front of the stove, grabbed a handful of straw from the pile of firewood behind him, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the still-warm stove. He stirred the remaining wood inside with tongs to see if there were any sparks.

Start a fire.

However, after such a long time, the sparks were gone, and only the soil embryos on both sides of the stove were still warm to the touch.

He took out the straw again, took out a box of matches from his pocket, pulled it to light a fire, and then put it in with the fire tongs.

I also broke off a few branches at the back and put them in.

Now that the fire was going on, he couldn't just boil crabs and shrimps and waste firewood, so he fumbled and grabbed a handful of dried fish, rinsed them casually, put them on top to steam, and drank two cups before going to sleep.

Pair seafood with wine, life is not in vain.

Ye Xiaoxi also squatted beside him and waited, never leaving, holding his chin with both hands, staring at the fire in the stove, and then tilted his head to look at him.

"Okay?"

Ye Yaodong: "??"

"Okay?"

"Did you say hello?"

She worked hard.

"Not yet. It's early. Let's go play by ourselves. I'll call you when I'm ready."

Ye Chengyang pretended to be pretentious for a while and couldn't stand still. He stretched his neck and looked at Ye Chenghu, "Are you ready? Have you finished writing?"

"No."

"Hurry up, I'm tired."

"Don't bother."

Ye Chengyang stared at the back of his head, "You have to stand too!"

"Shut up, don't make any noise."

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and said, "Has your mother set the time for you?"

"Yes, mother just said it's exactly 7 o'clock."

"Okay, then stand."

When Lin Xiuqing came out of the house with a basin of water, she smelled a fragrance.

"We just finished eating, what are you cooking?"

"She was playing with the two hairy crabs to the point where they were almost to death. I thought not to waste them, so I cooked them in advance for her to eat."

"Throw the two crabs away after playing to death, and use firewood to cook them. It's a waste."

“It’s not like you go up the mountain to cut firewood yourself anyway.”

Lin Xiuqing didn't care about him. She didn't ask her to cook it anyway. He cooked it himself.

After pouring the bath water, she went back to the house to work on the trophies she bought during today's shopping trip. He was watching the children anyway.

Ye Yaodong waited until the pot was almost cooked before taking it out. The fragrant river fresh food looked no worse than seafood. The two boys were also attracted to it, and Ye Chenghu was even less interested in doing his homework.

“It smells so good~”

Ye Xiaoxi quickly climbed onto the stool using her hands and feet. After realizing that she was too short, she continued to climb and stand on top, with her hands on the table.

"This, this...ah..."

She opened her mouth wide and pointed at her mouth with her finger.

"It's too hot. Wait a minute. What's the hurry?"

Just when he was about to peel the shells and feed them, Aguang suddenly came to the door.

"Huh? You haven't finished eating yet?"

"Ah, you came just in time. I was thinking of drinking two glasses before going to bed. Fortunately, I steamed an extra bowl of dried fish to go with the wine. I took my own chopsticks. The bowl is in the cabinet next to the stove."

"Then I came at the right time."

Ye Yaodong was afraid that Ye Xiaoxi would fall, so he quickly held her in his arms and handed her the peeled shrimp to eat slowly.

"I wanted to go to your place just now, but after thinking about it I came back."

"Why should you hesitate to go to my place? Why don't you think about it and come back..."

"Aren't you afraid that you and your son will discuss things there? I just want to come back to see you first and wait until you have finished discussing. So you have finished discussing now?"

"Yes, I came over just after the discussion." Aguang took a bowl and poured wine for himself, "Where did the hairy crab come from? Is it a river shrimp? It looks a little different. Your little brothers gave it to you again.

Can you grab these things and bring them over?"

"No, these were caught by the little bastards at home. They were all in a row of buckets on the porch at my door. I just caught them in the afternoon. Those snails need to be raised for a day or two before they can be fried. Otherwise, they will be fried in the evening.

Drink in the bowl."

After saying that, he shouted again into the room.

"Ah Qing, come out and help cook some more hairy crabs and shrimps."

"No, no, don't you still have a bowl of dried fish? There's no need to trouble Third Sister-in-law."

When Lin Xiuqing came out and saw A Guang coming, she immediately got busy.

"How are you discussing with your father? What are your plans? When I just went out for a walk, I heard a lot of people in the village gathering around the shop door, chatting, and discussing whether to go to the city in the next two days to see if it would be better to book a boat.

.”

"They grabbed me just now and asked me if I knew the way. I just said that I had been there before. If they wanted to go, they could just ask Uncle Zhou's tractor and let him lead the way."

"ah!"

Aguang's movement of picking up dried fish stopped for a moment and then retracted, "Those people in the village still want to go to the shipyard in the city to have a look?"

"Yeah, that's why I just thought of going to your house to see if you have any plans to buy a boat."

"My father and I discussed it at night and thought about ordering a few more ships. We can't lose money anyway. If we can deliver the goods early next year, we will make money. Even if we can't deliver them, we are not in a hurry to use them. Anyway,

As you said, if you keep the money, you can keep it, you can just exchange it for a boat first, then you can sell it when you no longer want so many boats."
