Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1305 Night Talk
What's there to be afraid of if you have money? There are many girls willing to pay for you. Are you still afraid of not being able to get a wife these days?

It's not the future, you still want houses, cars, dowries, and gold.

Some men may not be able to get married even if they have all these, and even if they do, it is easy for them to get divorced and have to divide the property.

People are more down-to-earth these days. As long as you are diligent and hardworking, you will have no trouble finding a wife.

It’s not easy to divorce once you’re married.

But asking him to arrange for Lin Guangyuan to get married? Where could he find one? He wasn't his son.

And if there is no father to find a wife for his son, it is the mother who has to arrange it.

Ye Yaodong did not continue the topic, but Lin's father was very worried and was troubled about how many years he would have to serve in the army.

He comforted her, "Men need to make great achievements. There is nothing to worry about. You might as well worry more about Dongxue. She is the same age as Yuan. She is already in her third year of high school. She will take the college entrance examination next year. She is the hope of your whole family."

Father Lin was originally sighing, but his gloomy face immediately brightened up with a smile.

"This child has great potential, but it's a pity that she's a girl."

"Ah, that can't be said. Boys and girls are the same. As long as they are successful, they can help the family. We don't discriminate. It's not like the family doesn't have the conditions, so we can't favor boys over girls. If the child is promising, we should encourage him a lot and try our best to meet his demands."

"Haha, that's for sure. The second brother and his wife also love their children."

"Nothing, go do your thing first. I'll take a look at the situation at the factory and get to know other people. I'll talk to Wang Jianxin after I've learned more."

"Okay, I'll get busy first. You're not leaving tonight, right? Let's have dinner at home?"

"We'll stay in the city tonight. My godfather will call for dinner, so you don't have to cook."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and felt that he had not done anything and it was almost four o'clock.

He went back to the factory and talked to his aunt who had been working there for most of the past six months, as well as the workers from Huangmei, about what had happened over the past six months.

It was past 5 o'clock before he went to Director Chen's house for dinner, and they talked in detail about the situation in the past six months.

He didn't have any troublesome tasks to ask of others at the moment, so he simply chatted about family matters and expressed a few words of comfort.

By the way, I also learned that the city has actually received project funds for fishery breeding provided by the government in the past six months, and the research institute has also provided strong technical support.

Director Chen was particularly happy chatting with him and drank a lot of wine.

Later on, he drank a little too much and it was not convenient for him to go back, so he stayed overnight and returned to the factory the next day.

In fact, he wanted to find someone in Linji, but due to the underdeveloped communication system, he could only wait for someone to come to him. It would be difficult for him to find the other party.

Looking at the workers in the factory filtering in an orderly manner, his aunt leading the fermentation, and the filling machines also working, everything was in order and there was no need to worry about it. There was already a set of processes. He felt very comforted and it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

He only stayed there for half the morning, and only after he had finished discussing the commission for his business with Wang Jianxin did he drive the boat back home.

Everything is ready in the city now, so he doesn't need to come here again. He just needs to come again before the New Year to settle the accounts and bring all the workers back.

It was night when he got home. When he went to the city, there was a group of people and a ship full of goods, but when he came back he was the only one left.

But when he saw the orange light outside his home in the distance, a smile appeared on his face. After getting ashore, he quickened his pace and hurried home.

Passing by the workshop, he saw the bustling crowd inside and called out, "Ah Qing!"

Lin Xiuqing was helping with the delivery. When she heard someone calling her, she ran out. "Why are you back so late? I thought you weren't coming back today. I'll go cook you something to eat."

"I'll be back when I'm done."

Ye Yaodong followed her home.

"It'll be good once you're done with the city. Now you don't have to run around. I'll see you stay grounded when you come back."

"I haven't been home for more than half a year. I have to learn about everything when I come back."

It's tomorrow, and he still has to walk around. He hasn't been to the village committee yet, and he hasn't been to his father's friend Lin Jingye either. He also has to go to the Party School tomorrow morning. He thought about it casually and felt that he would be busy for several days.

The expected scene of being able to lie down as soon as I get home does not exist at all.

A bunch of children were still playing and running around the door. It was such a cold day that their faces and noses were red and cracked from the cold, but it didn't affect their excitement at all.

The adults have just come back, and every child has received more or less gifts. It’s winter vacation again these two days, and every day you can see a lot of children running outside with various toys.

Ye Yaodong saw a little man holding a little baby and running towards him excitedly. He smiled and opened his arms, wanting to hug the baby.

Unexpectedly, the little girl's expression changed instantly when she rushed to him, and she no longer tried to get into his arms.

"big liar!"

She crossed her arms over her chest, leaned sideways, glared at him with sidelong eyes, her face full of anger.

"Are you still angry? Why did you remember it for so long?"

"Big liar! Humph!"

Ye Yaodong found it particularly funny when he saw her head full of colorful hairpins.

"Who put those hairpins on her? Why is her head full of hairpins?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Who else could it be? She pinned it herself. I put it away, but she found it and wanted to keep it herself. Then after I finished tying her hair today, she looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. Her head was full of hairpins."

Ye Yaodong flicked her forehead and said, "What do you look like? A crazy woman!"

"Beautiful! My sister said I am the most beautiful in the village!" She said while shaking her head, looking very proud.

"The most beautiful woman!"

"Xiaoyu is the same. She put a lot of hairpins on her head. The two of them even praised each other as the most beautiful in the village."

Ye Yaodong was so happy that he grabbed the two little dragonflies on her head with both hands and picked them up to play with them. His daughter was so fun, so cute, and so vain.

Ye Xiaoxi slapped his little dirty hands, "Don't move! Don't touch me."

After saying that, she ran away again and went to play with other children.

Ye Yaodong looked at her with a smile, "I feel like I haven't seen her for half a year. This child has grown up all of a sudden."

"Of course, it's been half a year. A child this young will grow up fast. If you come back in another half a year, she probably won't even remember you."

"That's impossible, I'm her biological father!"

"You haven't brought back any gifts yet. Do you think you are still their real father?"

"Needless to say, those two bastards saw me but didn't even come over to me and call out to me. It's like they didn't even know me."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

The two boys were playing volleyball and having fun with other kids at this time. Who would care about him?
"Go home, wash your face, soak your feet, I'll cook you something to eat, and you can go to bed early."

"Well, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"Let's talk after we go in."

Lin Xiuqing was a little curious, "Are you still hiding something?"

"No, I've told you everything I need to tell you. The biggest issue is the loan. I've told you everything. There's nothing I'm hiding from you. Hong Wenle came over and talked to me yesterday."

As soon as Ye Yaodong entered the room and sat down, the old lady came over and asked about his well-being, and the two of them stopped talking.

After he had comforted the old woman and asked her to recite some sutras, he spoke to Lin Xiuqing again.

"Hong Wenle asked me if I was interested in setting up a fish canning factory together."

"Ah? He's so rich, why would he ask you to come along? Why doesn't he ask someone else? Is he lying? Don't be impulsive and agree to it casually."

She was sitting in front of the stove, preparing to light a fire, and accidentally burned her hand with the lighter.

"I didn't agree to it. I just thought about it. They have money, but they also want to share the risk with more people. A fish canning factory is not like anything else. The investment is quite large. Even if you have money, one person can't afford it."

"Besides, it's not him who is rich, it's his old man who is rich. If he wants to run a fish canning business, he can't do it without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. He can't handle the risk alone, and he looks too young."

Lin Xiuqing thought it made sense, "That's true. Why didn't he find someone else instead of you? You two are just ordinary friends at best."

"Most of my friends and brothers have their own jobs. Those who don't have work are either helping their families or can't afford to pay."

"The investment cost is huge. He even wanted to take out a loan. Not everyone can easily come up with a large sum of money. He only came to me because he saw that I could afford a boat worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Hundreds of thousands of yuan is not just tens or thousands of yuan. It is not a small sum in the hands of rich people, and it is not so easy to take it.

"Is he reliable? He's not married..."

"Why do you care if someone is married or not? You can't get anything done if they are not married? Who says you have to be married to pursue a career?"

"If you're not married, people will think you're too immature. And you don't have the time to manage it. If you give out the money, it will all go to someone else. I don't know if it's reliable..."

"So I didn't agree to it. I just said I would think about it and discuss it with you. Then I would go find him when I was free to hear if he had any rules and understand them. We couldn't just do it blindly. We agreed to whatever he said and gave the money."

"Yes, what for? We have to understand each other clearly. We can't be so impulsive. You still have to understand it with him first, and then we can discuss this matter."

"Well, I just want to give you a heads up today to let you know. Chinese New Year is coming soon anyway, so we'll definitely talk about this after the New Year."

The old lady filled a basin with hot water and brought it to him to wash his face and feet.

"You don't have to do these things. Just sit down. I have hands and feet. I can do it myself."

"It's okay, it's okay. I can't sit still without doing something. Dongzi, you're not going away again, are you?"

"No, at most I'll bleed a lot, but I won't be able to travel far."

"Ah! Heavy bleeding?"

"You don't understand, don't interrupt, just read your scriptures."

"Stop struggling a little. Earning money is hard and not easy. Don't let others cheat you out of it. You need to hold on to your own money."

"I know."

Lin Xiuqing said: "You make me feel very nervous. I feel like I have to spend a lot of money again."

"Don't worry, I will definitely think about it carefully and I will definitely not empty my family's savings. Even if I invest in something, I have to leave some room for myself, right?"

"Why don't you buy a boat? I think it's more reliable for you to buy a boat."

"I already have so many boats, and there are still five that I haven't bought yet. If I buy more, any one of them will cost hundreds of thousands. Don't think too much. You have so much savings on hand, you can definitely afford it, and there is also a steady stream of income."

"Okay, let's talk about it after you two have discussed it. You take it easy, and we should be careful and not spend money recklessly. Anyway, even if we don't do anything, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives."

"Ah."

"Ah Qing is right..."

The old lady started rambling again.

Ye Yaodong shut up and ignored her. He washed his face by himself, then changed the basin to soak his feet.

Only after he finished eating and went into the house did he feel at peace.

The old lady didn't know if it was because she had chanted too much, or because she was old, or because he had just returned. She hadn't seen him for half a year, and now that he was free, she had endless things to say to him.

He was eating noodles and she was mumbling to herself.

After Lin Xiuqing cooked something for him, she went out to do her work again.

Ye Yaodong was woken up by Ye Xiaoxi.

He went back to his room and lay down, smelling the fragrance of the quilt, feeling comfortable and warm, and fell asleep in a short while.

The little girl got into the bed and moved around, causing air to leak everywhere, waking him up.

Lin Xiuqing spoke in a low voice, "Don't mess around, your father is asleep, keep quiet."

"Shh, got it! He's a big liar and a big lazy pig!"

Ye Yaodong was already awake. He tucked the quilt in again, then grabbed her into his arms, his voice still filled with grumpiness.

"You are the pig. You are born in the year of the pig. Do you know that?"

"No, I am a crab. I want to be a crab. I don't want to count pigs, Zhu Bajie is so ugly. I don't want to count ducks either. I am a crab, I am a crab, thump thump, thump thump thump..."

She excitedly lifted the quilt, put her hands next to her ears in the shape of a pair of pliers, and then walked back and forth across the bed.

Lin Xiuqing scolded, "You lie down in bed. You have a cold and need an injection."

"I'm not cold." Ye Xiaoxi responded stubbornly and continued walking sideways on the bed.

"How can she sleep if she doesn't take off all those hairpins?"

"You think I didn't want to? She refused to take it off, and just now she hid under the covers."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Xiaoxi with a smile, "You think you are beautiful, right?"

"Yes!"

"Give me two?"

She hesitated, "You're a boy."

“Boys can wear it, too.”

"Then there can only be two." She stretched out her left hand, bent her fingers hesitantly, and made a number 2.

"I'll give it back to you tomorrow, so just put it on for me."

"Yeah."

She rushed over happily and sat on him, and Ye Yaodong screamed in pain.

"I'm going to throw up my food."

"Dad, I'll make it look beautiful for you. You'll be the most beautiful in the village."

"Give me more. I want to be as beautiful as you. Lend me all the ones on your head. My head is bigger than yours, so two of them won't look good. Only when I have as many as you do will I look good."

"Yeah……"

Ye Xiaoxi was very happy. Usually she could only dress up the baby, but now she could dress up her father. That was great.

She willingly took off all the hairpins on her head one by one, and then put them on Ye Yaodong's head one by one.

Lin Xiuqing looked at him and laughed, "What are you singing about?"

Ye Yaodong gave her a look and let her understand it herself.

Ye Xiaoxi kept giggling as she pinned his hairpin.

When all the hairpins were transferred to Ye Yaodong's head, she clapped her hands happily, "It's so beautiful, I'll show it to my sister tomorrow."

"Don't?"

"I need to show it to my sister!"

"It's time to go to bed. Turn off the lights and lie down."

"Don't take it down..."

"understood."

After turning off the lights, Ye Yaodong wanted to take off the hairpins on his head, but Ye Xiaoxi was lying in the middle, her hand constantly touching his head. He could only wait until she fell asleep.

Lin Xiuqing also knew what he was planning and whispered, "You are the only one who can come up with this idea."

"You are so stupid. There is no need to force her. Make her cry. Just coax her and let her contribute happily, isn't that enough?"

"From now on, I'll give it to you. Tie it to your belt and take it with you wherever you go."

"When I'm done, I'll take you to the city to shop for some New Year goods. You can buy whatever you want."

"You just came back. You've already bought enough things. You don't need to buy anything else. When you go to the market, just buy some food and drinks for the New Year. The family has everything they need now."

"Is the village very busy these two days?"

He hasn't been in the village for the past two days. He has been busy since he came back, either receiving goods or sailing, or going to the city. He has not been walking around in the village.

"Of course it is lively. Every day people bring back televisions. There are dozens of more bicycles in the village. There are more people introducing marriages. It's like celebrating the New Year in advance."

“They all made money.”

"Yes, the village has been full of joy these past two days. I heard that more than a dozen couples got married before the New Year. Recently, more and more people from nearby villages have come to our village. I heard that they are all here to introduce potential partners. Huimei said that her door has been trampled down by people."

"You're here to propose to Dongqing, right?"

"Yes, the workers in our workshop have all set their sights on her."

"Don't even mention the workshops. All the bachelors in the village are waiting for the pie to fall from the sky."

"What you said is too unpleasant. You're the only bachelor in the village..."

“I wasn’t wrong either…”

After the child fell asleep, the couple kept talking and chatting.

It has been three nights since Ye Yaodong came back, and the two of them haven't had a good talk yet.

I did a lot of things that I should have done, but I didn't say much of what I should have said. I just put it into practice.

When he came back the first night, he hurriedly did some work and then went to sleep. On the second night, he drank too much again. After scoring twice, he went to the city again and slept in the city again last night.

I just slept enough tonight, so I'm awake and in the mood for a good chat.

Lin Xiuqing also had a lot to say. She hadn't had a good conversation in half a year, but she didn't know what to talk about, so she could only chat about the big and small things in the village.

"By the way, let me tell you, isn't your friend Haozi divorced? Later, he went out with Awei to make money, and his wife returned to his home to take care of the children."

"He came back a few months ago and tried to drive her away, but he failed. Then the couple continued to be husband and wife for a few days."

"However, he only stayed for a few days before leaving again. Everyone thought the couple had mended their relationship and were back to living together."

"Then you know, he brought a young woman back on New Year's Day. Oh, you have no idea how lively the village was during those days. Everyone was so busy that they had to carry their bowls to their doorstep to watch the fun while eating."

Ye Yaodong became excited when he heard this!
Such a big melon, such a big excitement, and he actually missed it?
"And then? One man vs. two women, sleeping on the same quilt, three people sleeping on one bed, sleeping together?"

Lin Xiuqing stretched out her hand and pinched him, "What are you talking about? You are still so excited, are you envious?"

"No, I just think he's being too lively! He's so awesome, his ex-wife is his nanny, and she sleeps with him for free, there are colorful flags flying outside, and he brought her home with great fanfare, he's really awesome! Keep going."

She added: "You were right. The three of them really slept together."

"Fuck!" Ye Yaodong was a little excited. "Are the three of them really sleeping together? Oh my god, is this called 3P or double F?"

"what does it mean?"

"Just keep going on with your story. This is a bit too much."

Seeing his excitement, Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "His ex-wife refused to leave, and the young woman he brought back also refused to leave. Haozi's mother also said that there was no extra room in the house, and there was no place to accommodate an extra woman, so they took the child back to the old man's room to sleep, and let the other three make their own arrangements. She didn't care about their troubles."

"Then neither of them gave in, and they slept together at night. Don't get the wrong idea, they didn't necessarily do anything."

"I heard from the neighbors that they were arguing and quarreling in the middle of the night. I don't know how nasty the curses were. Everyone opened the windows and cursed, and then the family calmed down a little."

"His house was like a drama during those days, with one man and two women. After several days, every day was in chaos."

"Everyone is guessing who the young woman brought back is. She stayed overnight at the man's house before getting married. It's definitely not a decent person."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously, "Didn't the Wang family come to make trouble?"

"Yes, but it doesn't make sense. They're divorced, and it's none of their business whether a man gets married or not. It's none of their business which woman someone wants to take home. If anyone wants to leave, it should be his ex-wife. How can someone stay at her ex-husband's house after a divorce?"

"They have been making a fuss for several days, and the village committee is too lazy to deal with their mess. They let them solve it themselves, or let the Wang family take their divorced daughter back."

"The Wang family didn't care anymore and just let the three of them sleep together for several days. After that, they didn't quarrel that badly, hehe..."

He wanted to give a thumbs up. He didn't expect that they could still have so much fun after the divorce.

"Awesome, you admit it? A threesome was a success."

"Anyway, after staying for a few days, Haozi took the young woman away again, and his ex-wife continued to stay in his house."

"It seems like he makes a lot of money, otherwise how could a young woman go to his house to sleep with him before they even get married, and the three of them sleep together."

"I heard his mother bragging everywhere that he had made a lot of money. Then his mother was very proud of him, saying that he was very capable and that women outside were devoted to him."

"That's awesome! It's really exciting, but it's a pity that I wasn't at home and missed it."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Just wait, maybe they will bring it back after a while. The New Year is coming soon, and they have made a lot of money, so why wouldn't they return to the village in glory?"

"Yes, it seems that the village will be very lively from now on, with weddings and operas."

"sleep early."

"Why are you sleeping? It's still early. Tell me about A Guang's stepmother. You don't know how disgusting Old Pei is."

Ye Yaodong didn't tell A Qing about Lao Pei at noon the day before yesterday. He only talked about some important things and then went to be busy. It's a good time to talk about it now.

He no longer called him Uncle Pei, but just called him Old Pei.

Lin Xiuqing was also angry after hearing this, "How can this be? This is too greedy."

"So I thought maybe he had a son, and he wanted to leave more for his youngest son since he's getting old."

She added, "I heard from Huimei that Aunt Ma has been hiding at home since she became pregnant. She hasn't even stepped out of the door. If she does go back home, it's in the middle of the night. Huimei is the one who takes care of everything else."

"Emi was already very busy with her three children. Later, when she returned to her own home, no one cared about her. At most, I cooked a little more and asked her daughter to take care of her. Aunt Ma's daughter also took care of her during her confinement."

"Emi said she wanted to separate and live alone. Now the family is too complicated. But except for Guang, most of the people in the family are not married."

Ye Yaodong said, "We probably have to wait until Dong Qing gets married, then they can separate and live on their own, and then let Old Pei live with Aunt Ma's family."

"That's what mom said, so mom has been actively helping to find out recently. After all, Dong Qing is also working for us, and mom likes her very much."

"I said, yesterday... No, it was the day before yesterday. The day before yesterday, when I was on the boat, I saw Hong Wenle and wanted to pair him up."

"How can I marry him? He is from a wealthy family and well-educated."

"Well, if we really split up, let's see if Harvest will be given to Guang. If it is given to Guang, I will give 30% of Harvest to Huimei. Do you have any objection?"

"Why?"

"Because I have earned all the money I deserve, the remaining 30% of the shares can be regarded as the starting capital given by me as a brother to my sister."

Lin Xiuqing thought about it and said, "That's fine, then you can look at it yourself, and it will save you some trouble."

"Well, my wife is still very considerate and generous."

"Don't be ridiculous. We are rich now, otherwise how could we be so generous? When we bought the shares, it was reasonable and fair. We didn't take advantage of the situation. We were invited by others. The 30% of the shares should be ours. How can we give it to them just because Old Pei is unhappy now?"

"But giving it to the couple as a starting point for their family business is another matter. And it's also for Huimei, so it gives her the confidence to back her up."

"After all, their family is in a mess now, so it would be good to separate them."

Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand and touched her hair. "I still have to praise my wife. If it were someone else's wife, they would have to hold on to every penny they earned. They wouldn't be so generous as to not give it away. It's also a constant source of income."

"If you say that again I'm going to regret it."

"Don't regret it. Our family is rich. I will make more money for you. It will all be yours."

"Don't give me that. It's ours! You worked hard to earn it. It belongs to me wherever I am. It belongs to our family."

"good."
