Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1214 Angry
"You went too?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at him suspiciously with a dark face.

"You're crazy! What does it have to do with me? Even a dog is not as loyal as me."

Lin Xiuqing: “…”

She paused and said unhappily, "It's hard to say. He often goes out for several months. Even Lin Ji has a mistress outside."

He said that this matter should not be brought up, as it would only bring trouble to himself.

Women are just unreasonable about this kind of thing.

I hadn't originally planned to tell her, but who knew she was still thinking about it and would wait until the evening to ask her specifically.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly coaxed him, "You take care of my elderly and children at home, look after the workshop, stabilize the rear, and run around. How could I be so heartless? You can't compare me with Lin Jishang."

"He is not a good person to begin with. He is a ruthless person who lives on the edge of a knife. He is under a lot of pressure. Who knows what he will be like in the future? I am not surprised by what he does. As long as he has money, I think it is normal for him to support eight or ten children."

"Wang Guangliang is only 20 years old. He is full of vigor and vitality, so it is normal for him to want women. Which 20-year-old guy is not impulsive? Even a 70-year-old is impulsive."

"It's normal for the man next to you to get excited. Don't worry about it. It will be fine after you get married."

Lin Xiuqing was not so easily fooled, "So you were like this before you got married?"

"How is it possible? In those years, this kind of place was hidden very deep... very deep..."

Ever since Ye Yaodong slapped his mouth, he knew that he shouldn’t drink alcohol at night.

"You know how deep the place is hidden. Have you looked for it?"

"How is that possible? I just heard it. I tell you, there are no secrets between men, especially such gossips. It's normal for them to know. Besides, I got married early, so why would I need to look for someone else? I didn't have any money in my pocket before. I was so poor that I couldn't even afford to eat."

Lin Xiuqing slapped him hard several times.

"Who knows if what you said is true or not? All men are bad, they are just like perverts."

"No way, don't generalize."

"So you weren't impulsive in your teens and twenties before you got married?"

"I was impulsive. I had endless energy to release every day. I had to secretly change my pants every day when I woke up. But I didn't do that anymore because I have this."

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand in front of her with a wicked smile and grabbed the air several times.

Lin Xiuqing spat at him, "Shameless, you are all old perverts."

"The true nature of a man!"

"I think you men won't behave yourself unless you hang on the wall."

"hey-hey……"

"No matter if they have money or not, they are not good people. As long as they go out, they are prone to doing bad things. He just earned a little salary, and as soon as he went out, he went to that kind of place. Who will marry him in the future?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't go out and say this. It's a bad reputation. Just keep it to yourself. If it spreads everywhere, you'll be doomed."

"I see. How could I not know that I can't bring this up?"

"Well, go to sleep. He's a bachelor, he doesn't have a wife, he hasn't done anything wrong to anyone, and he hasn't committed any crime. I warned them yesterday when I was in the city, they will behave themselves, and their families are talking about marriage, so you don't need to worry about it as a woman."

"It's disgusting just listening to it."

"I didn't ask you to listen, and I didn't want to tell you. You asked me, and you'll feel uncomfortable knowing it. Anyway, you just need to know that, except for your husband, all other men are bad."

The word "lust" is like a knife, but there is no man who is not lustful.

At the age of teens and twenties, their bodies are as hard as iron, they have sexual thoughts every day, and their minds are filled with a lot of pornographic garbage every day. How could he not understand?

Therefore, he also hopes that these people can get married, even earlier, so that they can do their work well and have family responsibilities after marriage.

I just thought of asking so that Chen Shi would give up and his family could just introduce someone for him to marry and settle down.

"fart."

"It's true. You may not even believe your son, but you have to believe me. You are the only woman in my life."

"Humph."

Ye Yaodong hugged her and persuaded her to let the matter go. It was obviously none of his business and he did nothing, but when it came to such obscene things, he always got into trouble.

It’s just that he’s too good!
From now on, keep your mouth shut. Don’t say anything and don’t let any wind leak out. Women are narrow-minded.

The next morning, Ye Yaodong drove a trawler that his family owned to take a look at the kelp breeding base.

Before getting close, I looked around and saw that the entire sea surface was filled with floating logs for growing kelp, and there were also a few floating small boats around.

After all, there is no bubble now, and the production tools are slightly backward. This is grown using a breeding raft.

The roots of the kelp seedlings are tied to ropes, with their roots at the top, fixed on the root rope of the floating raft, head down, growing towards the sea water.

This inversion facilitates the cultivation of kelp seedlings and the harvesting of finished kelp. It also enables the roots and shoots of the kelp to fully utilize photosynthesis, promoting the growth of kelp.

At this time, the water surface looked pitch black. It should be dark brown, but at first glance the color was particularly dark.

As he approached, a boat hailed him.

"Why are you here, Dong? Haven't you been out to sea recently? Do you still have time to come here?"

The person who spoke was Secretary Chen's son Chen Guoping, who was also arranged to learn breeding from the hired workers.

"It's a good time to take a break. I came here to check on the progress. Secretary Chen said that we should be able to harvest this month, and it won't be later than next month."

"Yes, they say we picked the seedlings early. If everything goes well, we can harvest them after a few more days of growth."

After Ye Yaodong parked the boat, he crawled down and jumped onto their small bamboo raft when it approached.

Dark brown kelp grew on ropes, hanging down into the water in patches, crowded together and swaying with the sea water.

He casually pulled the rope and brought up a large piece of kelp out of the water. It was so wide that it looked like it could be used as a blanket for a child. It was much larger and thicker than the wild ones.

Just touch the kelp with your palm and it will feel slippery. There is a layer of greasy saliva on the surface, which looks very fresh.

"This is still very different from the wild ones."

"Yes, the wild ones are smaller and thinner. The ones raised here are taken care of by professionals. They come here every day to hang them up and down. Even if they are raised from the same spores, they will definitely grow better. They are not very long yet, but the workers said they can grow longer."

"When the harvest is ready, it will be a great thing. We can plant more next year."

"Everyone is waiting. Every now and then, small boats from nearby come to check on the growth. They are more excited than we are."

Ye Yaodong chatted for a few words and then slid the bamboo raft to the side to take a look.

This was made by themselves and was tied to the back of the boat. When working, the rope was untied to make it easier to cross the kelp to do the work.

He paddled a small bamboo raft and went into a large patch of kelp to take a look around.

The seedlings are all harvested at the same time and their production conditions are similar, so they will definitely be harvested all at once in a batch.

After looking at it, he had an idea in mind, so he returned to his boat, said goodbye, and went back.

The workshop looked a little deserted today. During the day, there were only a few people walking around there because of their shifts, turning over and drying fish, filtering and packaging fish sauce.

We have to wait until the evening when Acai delivers a batch of goods before we can start working in full swing again. Recently, the fishing boats have not returned, so everyone is working at night.

This is also very friendly to the women in the village. They can do other things during the day, such as taking care of the house and repairing fishing nets. After having dinner early, they can come and kill fish until night.

The few regular workers in the workshop will not be idle either. They take shifts during the day and night, so everyone has time to rest. The lifting and moving during the day and night also requires a lot of manpower.

Now, only when a few of their ships come back and bring a large amount of goods, can a large group of people work busily for three or four days.

The workshop has just finished processing the goods these two days and has just finished its busy work, so it is just the right amount of free time.

Ye Yaodong passed by the workshop, just took a look and went home to eat.

In the afternoon, I went to the back door to turn the land and plant what needed to be planted. The old lady had already finished working on the small private plot in the yard.

He planned to stay at home for the next two days, turn the land that needed to be turned over, sow the seeds that needed to be sown, and wait for the other boats to return in two days, then go out to sea again, and he would go out with them.

There was always housework to be done, and when the workshop was not busy during the day, he could call two more people to help him turn the soil, and the work could be done faster.

In the evening, Ye Chenghu came back and was about to run out as soon as he dropped his schoolbag, but was stopped by Lin Xiuqing.

"Mom, I'll do my homework after dinner. I'll show them my cricket first..."

"Do your homework first."

"Wait a minute, I'll show it to the others and then come back to write... I finally caught two..."

Lin Xiuqing held on to his clothes and refused to let go. Ye Chenghu struggled and the bamboo tube in his hand fell over, and a cricket escaped.

"what……"

He just let out a scream and was about to throw himself to the ground, but Ye Xiaoxi had already gotten there, covering the cricket with her two little hands.

"I got it."

"Hurry up and put it in there."

Lin Xiuqing directly snatched the bamboo tube from his hand and handed it to Ye Xiaoxi, "Play later, and supervise your father writing calligraphy."

Ye Chenghu was about to protest, but when he heard this, he turned to look at her in disbelief.

"What do you mean by supervising my father's calligraphy?"

"Your father has to practice calligraphy with you too. You two should practice together and you should supervise him."

"What? Did my dad take the wrong medicine? Or was he too full?"

Ye Yaodong stood at the door, knocked on it, and reminded him, "Be careful what you say."

"Dad, why are you still writing calligraphy when you are so depressed?"

"Your father will be attending the Party School in a few days. The quality of my writing will have to increase rapidly. Of course, I cannot be unable to write even a few words."

"That's great. We can share the hardship, but I have to go see my cricket first..."

Ye Chenghu struggled and threw himself forward, but Lin Xiuqing was still grabbing his clothes.

Ye Xiaoxi put the caught crickets back into the bamboo tube and looked at them curiously while holding the tube.

"First, supervise your father to finish writing, and then you have to complete your task before you can play. Sit down honestly."

Lin Xiuqing pushed him to the edge of the table, took out the calligraphy and gave it to the father and son, and placed it on the table.

Then he knocked on the table, motioning Ye Yaodong to come over and sit down.

"Write now. If you don't finish, don't even think about playing. You can't even eat."

Ye Yaodong felt like he was shooting himself in the foot. If he had known earlier, he would not have mentioned practicing calligraphy yesterday. He would have just written whenever he remembered.

Seeing that his own father was treated the same as himself, Ye Chenghu felt a little better. At least he had company and he was not the only one in jail.

"Dad, please write quickly, don't dawdle."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his daring son, then looked at the pencil on the table, picked it up and turned it around in his hand a few times. Ye Chenghu's eyes widened and he also became interested.

"Dad, how do you turn it? Teach me, teach me..."

Ye Yaodong put his pencil down again, ignored him, and looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Give me a pen. I want to practice my penmanship."

"Then you have to suck the ink."

"Take it out and I'll do it."

Lin Xiuqing just went into the room, got him a pen and some ink, and then left him alone because she also had to cook.

Ye Chenghu watched him sucking ink from the tube in the pen with great interest. Although it was not the first time he saw it, he would do anything as long as he was not asked to write.

Ye Yaodong has several pens, all of which were rewards given by the village committee or the county and city in the past two years. He has never used them. Now they come in handy.

When he goes to the Party School in two days, he will have to bring it with him, and then he will learn from others and pin the pen on his shirt pocket.

As he spoke, he absorbed the ink and wiped it clean, then put it on his pocket, tried it, looked down, and felt that he had a bit of an intellectual flavor.

"Do you feel that your father has suddenly become a cultured person?"

Ye Chenghu shook his head honestly, "No! All the educated intellectuals wear glasses, but you don't."

"That's called a four-eyed frog."

"what?"

Ye Yaodong tapped the table with his index finger and said, "Write yours."

"Then our teacher is also a four-eyed frog..."

Lin Xiuqing scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. Your father doesn't teach you these things all the time. Hurry up and write. Don't drag your feet. Ye Xiaojiu, supervise them. If anyone stops writing, urge them."

"Okay, okay, write quickly..."

Ye Yaodong looked down at the little girl beside him, who was standing with her hands on her hips and looking at him angrily, and said with a smile, "Dad will draw a watch for you, do you want it?"

"Yeah……"

Lin Xiuqing was helpless. They had just agreed on something, but now the other party went back on their word. It was so easy to cheat.

She could only tap the table twice with the whip, signaling them to write faster.

Originally, I only needed to supervise one son, so how come it seems like I gave birth to another son?
Watching Ye Chenghu quietly take the bamboo tube containing the crickets back to his side, she took it away and put it on the stove.

"I told you to supervise each other. Look at the two of you. Don't eat dinner tonight."

"Dad, write quickly, don't dawdle. Look at you, you haven't even made two strokes on just a few words in such a long time." Ye Chenghu shouted in a bully-like manner, and when he saw the glaring eyes, he quickly picked up the pen and started writing.

Ye Xiaoxi saw the whip Lin Xiuqing had placed on the table, and she stood on tiptoe to pick it up. Then she kept slapping Ye Yaodong on the back, scolding him in a childish voice, "Hurry up and write. Don't be lazy."

"See what you can do."

Ye Yaodong felt the tickling sensation on his back, and picked up the pen to start writing stroke by stroke. Since he had to practice, he might as well practice seriously, it would always be useful.

Ye Chenghu would lower his head and write two words, then stretch his neck to see how his father was doing, and then quickly turn around to write his own.

He kept repeating this and that, stretching his neck this and that, and was having a lot of fun.

Ye Xiaoxi took the whip and patted one person on the back, then that person's back, until both of them finished writing and put down their pens.

She was so frightened that she quickly threw away the whip and ran away, fearing that the two of them would take revenge.

Ye Yaodong watched her run away with a smile, and said mockingly, "I thought you were so capable, what a coward."

Ye Chenghu also quickly threw down his pen and said, "I've finished writing too, my cricket..."

"You still have homework assigned by the teacher, keep doing it."

"I don't have school tomorrow, Sunday. I will..."

"Don't give me tomorrow, write it now."

Ye Chenghu was angry but dared not say anything. He glanced at Lin Xiuqing with his little eyes and held a pencil in his hand, writing word by word on the copybook.

Ye Yaodong sat next to him, deliberately turning a pencil to attract his attention.

"Mom, my dad is always spinning his pen beside me, affecting me!"

Ye Yaodong received Lin Xiuqing's gaze and immediately stood up, "I'm going to see the child."

Lin Xiuqing felt that her daily workload had increased for nothing, and she had to raise an extra son who was almost 30 years old.

Ye Yaodong recruited young men from his home to cultivate the land for two days before he turned over all the soil behind the house and started sowing seeds.

On Monday morning, he dressed up like a gentleman, wearing a Zhongshan suit, and deliberately put a pen in his chest pocket. He also found a briefcase in his hand, which came from nowhere.

Lin Xiuqing watched him fiddling with himself all morning, and then he took out a flat briefcase and put some letter paper, private seal, and calligraphy book into it.

"What are you doing?"

“The equipment must be matched and complete.”

He zipped up his pants, tucked his briefcase under his armpit, straightened his body, raised his head and chest, and raised his chin.

"How about it?"

Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "That's quite plausible, Officer Ye."

"Please call me President Ye."

"Okay, Officer Ye."

Ye Yaodong took the briefcase and tapped her head lightly, "I'll deal with you when I get back from get off work."

"Remember to go there on a motorcycle, otherwise you won't be able to pack it properly."

"That's not good, it's too high profile, just ride a bike."

Ye Yaodong opened the door happily.

The old lady said in surprise in the main room: "Hey, Dongzi, you are dressed the same as the cadres who came here before."

"Haha."

“Prettier than them.”

"Haha, I'm going to work."

"The Party School is held at night, why are you attending during the day?"

"I don't know. Maybe they want me to report today?"

"Then go and come back quickly."

Ye Yaodong happily put the briefcase into the basket in front of the bicycle, then rode out.

His hair was already combed back, and the wind along the way made it even stronger.

Today, we notified him to report to the Party School and submit a one-inch personal photo. We also sent him the class schedule for the next class and asked him to attend classes according to the schedule.

So it didn't take long for him to come back and go to the unified class in the evening.

The party school here does have classes at night. This is to facilitate working party members and cadres who usually have to work during the day.

The villagers saw Ye Yaodong's sudden different outfit today and had wanted to ask him something, but he was in a hurry this morning and didn't even stop to say hello.

When he came back, he was not in a hurry to go home. Everyone greeted him and he was able to stop and talk to the villagers.

"It's an honor to join the party. What's in your bag? I see many leaders carrying bags like this."

Ye Yaodong didn't mind and opened it for them to have a look.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so these are what the cadres' bags are filled with?"

"I thought it was all money..."

"Haha, who's walking around with a bag of money?"

"That's hard to say. The boss's bag must be full of money..."

"There are also private seals? I only see leaders have these things..."

"Adong is already a leader, it's normal for him to have these things."

"Oh, yeah. I see him in his grey work clothes every day and almost forgot..."

"A few days ago, I saw your father carrying a private seal in his pocket. He said you carved one for him."

"I carved it by the way. I can keep it as a souvenir even if I don't need it."

Ye Yaodong chuckled, zipped up his bike again, and put the briefcase into the bicycle basket.

"Go back first."

You've finished pretending, now you can leave.

When he just arrived at the beach on his bicycle, he saw several large ships approaching from afar on the sea. He turned around and went to the workshop door to notify others to pick up the goods.

Then he went home to inform Lin Xiuqing that it was time to work.

Lin Xiuqing didn't even bother to ask him why he came back so soon, and hurried to inform the women in the village to get ready to come out and kill the fish.

Three boats came in one after another, docked side by side and floated in the middle of the sea.

The shore started to get lively as more and more people came. The women were all holding knives and chopping boards. If it weren't for the smiles on their faces, one would have thought they were going to fight with other villages.

As soon as Ye's father came back, he was surprised to see Ye Yaodong dressed like a cadre.

"Why do you dress yourself like this?"

"I'm going to the Party School to study today."

"Oh, no wonder you look so good in this outfit, dressed so formally."

"Ah."

Father Ye watched everyone weighing goods and looking at the scales. He pulled Ye Yaodong to a corner and said, "I'll go straight back to your boat the next time we go out to sea."

"Big brother and second brother are ready to go out as apprentices?"

"That's about right. I've been with him for two months now. Today is the 31st, and tomorrow is the 1st, so it's exactly one month. I told them tonight that I could just go back to your ship."

"That's fine with me. Just talk to them and then transfer the temporary boatman you swapped with back to them."

"Well, anyway, we can take care of several boats going in and out at the same time. Just let the two brothers take turns driving the boats. There is nothing else to do."

"Ok."

"How many days have you been resting at home? When did you come back?"

"Four days."

Father Ye envied him and said, "Then after Qingming Festival, you will have ten days to rest, right?"

"You don't think you've worked too hard following my elder and second brothers, so you want to return to my ship? So you can take a break?"

"What are you talking about? Did I do less work following you? It's even more dangerous following you! Aren't we basically in and out together? How can we take more breaks? I still do the same thing."

Father Ye added unhappily, "I just worry about you going to Vancouver from time to time. Your brothers are both honest and well-behaved. Even if I'm not around, there are other boats to look after them."

He still felt that his father was worried that he would miss out on something good again!
After all, following him around would allow you to gain more knowledge and experience, giving you more opportunities to brag.

"Okay, you have already agreed to go out to sea after Qingming, right?"

"Here's the plan. The Qingming Festival is on the 5th. I'm worried that there will be a lot of rain in the next few days. So I told them not to leave any goods for you. Just leave a little more fermented fish sauce for the groceries."

Fish sauce is produced every day and then filtered out, and the miscellaneous goods occasionally brought back are just enough for the workshop to digest.

The goods collected in the city are put in the city, and the goods brought back by their fishing boats are put into the workshops for replenishment.

"Well, it's true that it's not suitable for sunbathing these days."

Lin Xiuqing also saw that what was left today were groceries and not many animals needed to be slaughtered, so she apologized to the other women for making their trip in vain and told them to go back and eat, rest for a few days, and then continue working when it got hotter after Qingming Festival.

"Take a few days off. It's a good time for everyone to turn over the land at home and plant what needs to be planted."

"I have turned over the land at home."

"So diligent?"

"Aren't all the people in the workshop capable of working?"

"Then fertilize next time..."

"How can you be so embarrassed? He came to work in the workshop, not to be a slave for our family. He just turned the soil, but you still have the nerve to ask him to carry manure? Dad, you are really getting lazier and lazier. You don't even want to work anymore."

Father Ye blew his beard and glared, "Who are you calling lazy? Have you ever done it? Isn't it me who does all the dirty and tiring work?"

"Your mother told you to do it."

Father Ye took a deep breath, otherwise he would beat him to death in front of so many people.

"I'm going to be busy now. You can talk to the eldest and second brothers yourself, otherwise they will think I am stealing someone."

"You get paid as much as your elder and second brothers, but you still have to carry manure for you."

"No, the wages you paid to your elder and second brothers for their work were also paid by the government, so you also took a share of my salary."

Father Ye was choked and became even angrier, "So I have to work for you until I die."

He is also a masochist. He gets along well with his eldest and second sons. Both of them obey him and do whatever he tells them to do. But he likes to go to the third son to bully him.

Ye Yaodong put his arm around his father's shoulder and grinned, "Hey, don't say that. You are being filial. Do you think your uncles are as filial as you?"

Father Ye slapped his hand away and said, "Is it filial piety to her or to you if I help you carry manure?"

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing.

Father Ye’s face turned even darker.

"I carry it, I carry it. Next time I carry it. If the old lady asks you to carry the manure, you will call me?"

Ye's father gave him an angry look and went to move the goods angrily.

It will make people angry.

Lin Xiuqing looked at Ye's father's smiling face, which changed as soon as he turned around, while Ye Yaodong was smiling all the time.

"What did Dad tell you? Why are you still angry?"

"Nothing, he was just sulking."
