Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1481 Coming
"Hey? When did a rabbit appear?"

"This shouldn't be braised and eaten with wine, right?"

“Stir-fry it a little more spicy…”

The two little girls were having fun playing with their rabbit when they suddenly heard some inappropriate noises and became instantly angry.

"Dad, you are not allowed to eat Xiaobai!"

"This is mine! You are not allowed to eat it!"

As the two girls spoke, their eyes almost turned red.

Ye Yaodong patted their heads and said, "I won't eat you. Take it back to the house and play. It's not sunny today and the wind is strong. Don't stay outside in the wind."

The two men picked up the rabbit cage and ran away, fearing that the rabbit would be eaten if they were a step late.

He looked at the fat man again, "If you want to buy more, why not buy a few more?"

"Yes, there are a few more behind the cafeteria, for drinking at night. This is the pure white one which is relatively small, so I picked it out specially."

Ah Guang asked, "Why does Dongzi's daughter have it, but my daughter doesn't?"

"That one is white and skinny, and it's so fat that it needs to be put into the pot..."

"I'll go catch one for my daughter. You guys should eat less."

Pei Yu saw that she also had a rabbit, although it was gray, but she was also very excited. She and Ye Xiaoxi chatted all day long, constantly feeding the rabbit and going in and out of the back of the kitchen to pick vegetable leaves.

So much so that Ye Yaodong didn't see her the whole day and looked for her everywhere.

He deliberately closed the door and warned the two children repeatedly not to run away on their own.

They were frightened by all kinds of tragic events that happened to them, such as being kidnapped by someone, and they were even taken to see the miserable appearance of beggars on the street. Their faces turned pale with fright.

They also told us that anyone else who wanted to go in or out had to secure the iron gate with the safety pin on. The children were small and short, so they couldn't go out by themselves and had no way of securing the iron gate.

And no one here would take the child away without his consent, unless they don't want to live anymore. They are all people from his hometown, and they all need to make a living here. No one is so mean.

In addition, he and his friends are basically here all day. If he needs to go out for something and can take the children with him, he will take the children with him, unless it is inconvenient for the fishing boat to come back to deliver the goods, but his friends will also be watching them.

So he didn't think the child would run away, he just thought she was hiding in some corner or some room playing.

It was not until the afternoon when I received a call from Lin Xiuqing that I started looking everywhere.

The result is both far away and right in front of you, right behind the cafeteria.

"Why are you hiding here? It's wet and dirty."

"Dad, why doesn't the little rabbit eat anymore?"

"If you feed it any more, its stomach will explode."

"what?"

"Have you been feeding since morning?"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

"Don't feed it. It's already full. You should make a straw nest for it. Otherwise, it will freeze to death when it sleeps at night."

The two girls' eyes lit up, they finally found something to do.

"Right away, Dad, I'll make a nest for the little rabbit right away. There's straw here..."

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to tell her that her mother would be coming up in a few days, but seeing how excited she was, he decided not to say it.

It would be better to avoid him being pestered with questions every day after I tell him. Today, he finally has a little rabbit to play with, and his ears are a lot quieter. It’s better not to ask for trouble.

Anyway, she will find out when she comes up, and it’s a good opportunity to have a rabbit to share her attention these days.

Lin Jishang also travels back and forth between the two places. When the wives went back some time ago, he took the boat with them, just to see them off and to take care of some things at the same time.

Ye Yaodong also told him to help bring his wife and children up when he returned, which would save him or his father from having to go back to pick them up.

When they went to Shanghai before and stayed in his villa, he treated the couple very well, so when he came up, it was also a matter of convenience to bring his wife and children up safely.

He felt more at ease knowing that someone he knew was accompanying him.

A Qing just called and said that she will leave tomorrow. She asked Ye's mother to live in their house after she leaves, so that she can look after the house and take care of the elderly.

It is also close to the workshop, so it is convenient to go home if anything happens.

The time they chose to depart was before the winter vacation, but there were not many classes. All the classes were completed, and it was basically review. They only had two or three days to prepare for the final exam.

Lin Xiuqing thought that she had already promised the children, and the boat would not wait for anyone, so the set time could not be changed. So she simply asked for leave for them and they would not take the final exam.

Ye Chenghu was so happy that he didn't have to take the exam and could go to another city to visit his father. He was so excited that he was incoherent on the phone and couldn't wait to leave.

Ye Yaodong also told his father about this matter, and asked his father to take more rest recently and let him do all the work.

When A-Qing comes up, let his father do more work and he will accompany them out to have fun for a few days.

"There's still time to rest. I thought there was no time to rest."

"It's like I'm at a disadvantage to you."

"When you rest, I rest too, but when you work, I don't rest. I always go with you when you deliver goods and help you. But when I deliver goods, it's different for you. You sit at home with your feet up."

Ye Yaodong recalled and it seemed so.

"Then I didn't ask you to do it. I'll go deliver the goods, and you can take a rest."

"I'm the one driving the tractor. If you need to deliver something, I have to drive it over, right?"

"You can hand it over to someone else next time. There are plenty of people who can drive a tractor."

"I was the one driving the car, filling it with water and oil, so I couldn't bear to hand it over to someone else."

"That's your problem, not what I told you to do."

He doesn't take the blame for this. It was his father who volunteered to take on the job.

Father Ye also knew that he was destined to work hard. "Okay, if I don't watch over you, who will? Just do what you need to do. Just tell me in advance if you need anything done."

"Ah."

"Will you go out and sleep when the time comes, or should I vacate the room for you?"

"Then you should vacate the room. After all, first time makes second time familiar. If you move out, you won't have to move back in. You can have one room each and I can have one room each."

"That's such a waste. One person needs a room of his own? That's so hypocritical."

"The house is empty anyway, so we don't have to move around. When we get a few ships at the end of the year, we'll have to recruit workers, and then we can vacate the house and make arrangements."

Father Ye thought that there was no difference. It would be after the New Year to arrange for new staff to come in, and his daughter-in-law would stay with the children until the New Year.

"That's fine. Did the factory say when the boat will be delivered? It would be best if it can be delivered before the end of the year. We can drive them back together."

"It doesn't matter. We'll just leave it there anyway. It'll waste a lot of fuel. We won't need so many boats. We can just dock here. A new boat doesn't need maintenance anyway."

All existing boats have to be driven back, and during the New Year period, the fishing boats also need to be well maintained and the barnacles on the bottom of the boats cleaned.

The new boat bought last year does not need to be cleaned, but some old boats do.

They don't clean it every year, after all, fishing boats are large and it takes a lot of effort. Basically, they check the situation every two or three years. If there are too many barnacles and juveniles on the bottom of the boat, they will clean it when they are resting.

He has many boats now and is not so particular. When he buys a new boat, he must drive it home to set off firecrackers. Here, he just wants to show his appreciation by setting off a few.

It was a well-founded argument and Ye's father could not refute it. He also could not drive the boat back a long way just for the sake of face, as the fuel money would be a huge sum.

Anyway, he has a lot of face now, so he doesn't necessarily have to drive the new ship back.

"Then you decide for yourself. The Chinese New Year is only a month away, so we must go back early. Your wife is coming here during this period, so don't forget to go to the shipyard and take a look. I think all the ships that are supposed to be delivered will be delivered one after another."

"I know. I went to see it recently. How can I not pay attention to the boat?"

"I'm afraid that you've been running to Shanghai every other day, and your mind has been focused on the house and the land, and you've neglected the boat."

"will not."

"Then I'll move tomorrow and move all my stuff, clothes and luggage over there, so I don't have to come over every now and then to get them."

It was Ye's mother who came up some time ago, so he simply rolled up his bedding and went over. It was very convenient for her to come in and get anything, since it was just the two of them, father and son.

It’s different now that his daughter-in-law moves in. He can’t go in and out anymore.

"Well, don't tell Xiaojiu that her mother is coming up yet. She will know when she gets here."

"Oh, this child is really good at asking questions. He asks every day, several times a day. It's a rare day that he's quiet."

"Well, I'll go call her back to bed."

Not only did Ye Yaodong call her back, he also brought back two rabbits.

The fat man instigated them to raise two rabbits together, one male and one female, and let them live together, so that they could give birth to many baby rabbits next year.

The two children have been looking forward to it for a while now, and have also agreed that each rabbit will stay there for a day.

Before going to bed, Ye Yaodong was constantly pestered with questions like, "How do rabbits give birth to babies?"

"My father said that rabbits can give birth to a litter. How many rabbits are there in a litter?"

"Dad, when will the little rabbit give birth to a baby for me?"

Ye Yaodong was extremely helpless. Children of this age are extremely curious and will get to the bottom of things.

He thought he had to go look for it tomorrow to see if there was a copy of Hundred Thousand Whys in the bookstore and find it for her!
It just so happened that my two sons were coming up in a few days, so I let the three of them read by themselves to save them the trouble.

"Go to bed quickly. Who told you that rabbits give birth to babies? Go ask who tomorrow. Don't ask me how I know how rabbits give birth to babies. I'm not a rabbit."

"Then how did Dad know?"

"He bought it, so he must know. You can ask him tomorrow. He was the one who told you that in the first place."

"OK then."

Pei Yu came to pick up her rabbit at dawn, carrying an empty cage.

Ye Yaodong and his daughter were both asleep, and Ye's father woke up and opened the door for her.

In the end, she didn't leave. After picking up the rabbit, she saw Ye Xiaoxi was still sleeping soundly, so she went to bed too, thinking of waiting for her to wake up.

I didn't expect that I would wait until I fell asleep.

Ye Yaodong heard the noise early in the morning, but did not get up and continued to sleep. He did not get up until noon and found Pei Yu lying in his father's bed next door.

After tucking the child in, he got up and washed up.

When we got back, the two girls were up and playing with the little rabbits on the bed without any clothes on.

Ye Yaodong has now become very experienced in taking care of children. He helps them to put on clothes, tie their hair, wash their faces, and takes care of every detail.

After serving breakfast and sending them out to play, he felt relieved, but the fat guy was miserable.

The two girls followed him around the whole morning, asking all kinds of questions about the little rabbit. The fat man said he didn't know, but they refused to believe him and said that he would definitely know since he bought it, and they insisted on getting the details clearly.

The fat man was about to kneel down. He didn't have that much patience with his own son.

But the two little girls were very good at acting coquettishly. One of them pulled his clothes and called him "Dad" all the time, in a soft and tender voice.

They are not like those bad boys who only shout and yell, and each one of them is more stubborn and argumentative than the other.

His temper was worn out by the two girls, so he could only play with them rabbits for a whole day. He did not have so much patience for his own child.

He wanted to hide for a while, but the two of them thought he was playing hide-and-seek with them, which made them even more excited...

With the little rabbit diverting their attention, Ye Yaodong's life became better.

Lin Xiuqing arrived after New Year's Day, and it only took her four days to get here. This was probably because she made few stops along the way and there wasn't much cargo to get on and off the ship.

Two days after she left, Ye Yaodong began to arrange people to wait at the dock. The arrival time of this cargo ship is not accurate and it may arrive early or late.

As soon as she arrived, someone came back to inform him.

He also rode out on his motorcycle to pick people up as soon as possible.

Ye Xiaoxi was still in the dark and was still following Pei Yu to play with the rabbit, trying to see if there were any baby rabbits in the rabbit's belly.

After getting off the boat, Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to run around, not even a step. She stood obediently where Lin Ji asked her to wait, holding her sons tightly in each hand.

But her two sons were not as nervous as she was. They were extremely excited. They stood on tiptoe, looked around, chattered non-stop, and seemed to want to run around.

Lin Xiuqing could only hold them tightly and ask them to be good, or else let them go back now.

"Dad, my dad is here, my dad is there!"

"father!"

"father……"

The two children jumped and waved excitedly.

There were workers unloading and moving goods all around, so it was not suitable for cars to drive over. So Ye Yaodong stopped about ten meters ahead and waved at them.

Lin Ji said, "Let's go, Ah Dong is here, I'll take you there and I'll take the luggage."

"Well, thank you for your help."

"No trouble."

The two children couldn't wait any longer, so they pulled her hand and went straight into the crowd, trotting to Ye Yaodong, calling him "Dad" one after another.

I've never been so enthusiastic!

When Ye Yaodong returned home, the two children would not necessarily come close to him, and if they did, they would stare at the gifts instead of him.

It's really rare now, looking at him is brighter than looking at gold.

"You seem to be in good spirits. You didn't suffer much from the boat ride."

"There's food to eat, things to lie down on, things to play with, and things to look forward to. How can I suffer?" After seeing him, Lin Xiuqing felt relieved and the tension in her heart eased.

She looked much more dishevelled than the two children, with her hair loose and messy, and her clothes stained everywhere, though they looked like new clothes.

"Dad, it's so much fun to take a boat ride. We actually took a boat ride for several days. This is the first time we took a boat ride for such a long time. It's so much fun."

"Dad, we stopped at several docks, but none of them were as lively as this. There are so many people here."

"Well, get in the car first. We'll talk about anything when we get back."

He moved his buttocks and made the seat space behind him a little more empty to make it more convenient for the mother and her two children to sit.

Then he looked at Lin Jishang and said, "Thank you very much. You took the trouble to bring my wife and children up here."

"It's just a matter of convenience. It's what I should do." Lin Ji said as he helped him tie a sack of luggage to the car.

"Wait until I settle them down, and then I'll treat you to dinner in the evening."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter whether you invite me or not. I still have some goods to unload, but I don't know when I'll finish unloading them. I'll talk to you when I'm free."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. It won't delay your unloading. I'll send them back first."

Ye Yaodong waved at him and also rode his motorcycle slowly through the crowd.

"Dad, is that your new motorcycle? It's so beautiful!"

"Dad, why did you buy a motorcycle? My grandma will tell everyone about it and they will all scold you for being a spendthrift."

The two children sitting behind him couldn't stop talking.

"Does it look good? Which one looks better, red or green?"

Ye Chenghu said loudly: "The red one looks good, but I like the one with the truck bed at home! I think that one is more majestic!"

Ye Chengyang shouted, not wanting to be outdone: "Yes, I also think three-wheeled ones are more impressive, just like in war movies, which also have three wheels."

"Haha, stop talking, or you'll end up blowing wind into your mouth."

He was blown by the cold wind and felt his whole body was extremely cold. The cold wind kept drilling into his neck, cuffs, and trouser legs. His teeth were chattering and his facial features were distorted by the wind.

"Dad, why is it so cold up here?"

"That's why I told you to put on more clothes and stop talking now."

"Dad...where's my sister..."

"Dad, I brought the Transformers up here too, they're so cool..."

Ye Yaodong told them to shut up to avoid the cold wind blowing in, but they didn't listen and just kept talking about what they wanted to say and venting their excited emotions.

He didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't respond to them and let them chatter.

His base was not far from the pier, but because there were so many people the car drove slowly. However, it only took him a dozen minutes to get home.

"Wow! Is this the place?" Ye Chenghu exclaimed before he even came down.

Ye Chengyang also asked happily, "Dad, is this our home? Oh my god, there are so many houses. Are all of them ours?"

Lin Xiuqing was surprised and happy. She got out of the car first and then helped them down one by one.

"Is this it?"

"Yes, we started building it last year and continued at the beginning of this year. It took us little by little to get to where we are now. Originally this place was a garbage dump."

While explaining to her, Ye Yaodong got out of the car and went to open the iron gate.

This iron door has a layer of security from the inside. It can be opened by reaching your hand into the iron railing. When sleeping at night, he will put on an extra lock.

The two boys got out of the car and rushed to the door impatiently, grabbing the iron railings to look inside.

"Wow, this place is so big, there are so many houses!"

"Dad, is this the empire you built?" Ye Chengyang looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Hahaha, you'd still say, let's go in, your sister is also in there, probably behind the cafeteria in front, but she doesn't know you're here, you can go give her a surprise."

Ye Yaodong opened the safety handle and the two immediately rushed in screaming. But after screaming, they ran quietly in the direction he pointed, probably wanting to scare their sister.

Lin Xiuqing was untying the luggage tied to the back of the car, so he went over to help.

"No need to untie it. I'll just drive in and park downstairs. Then I can carry it upstairs. It won't be necessary to carry it all the way."

She smiled and said, "Okay, then drive in."

"Ah."

Lin Xiuqing followed him in. His car had already parked downstairs, so she trotted over.

"Why didn't anyone see it?"

"Most of them have gone out to sea. There are only about a dozen people here at most. There's no sun today and it's windy. If they're not lying in the house, they're probably playing cards in the cafeteria."

At this time, several heads popped out from upstairs, all of them heard the noise of the motorcycle.

"Dongzi, have you picked up your wife?"

"Got it."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and looked upstairs, waving at them, "They live upstairs, which floor do you live on?"

"Third floor, come on, I'll take you up first."

Ye Yaodong only planned to let her stay here for one or two nights and then take her to a guesthouse.

There are few people here during the day, so it's okay to stay here. But at night, most of the people come back, hundreds of men, and they won't let her sleep here, so he accompanies her to sleep outside.

"The third floor, it's so high!"

"Building it higher will save space and give us more space."

"This place is really nice. It's worth the money."

Lin Xiuqing followed him up the stairs, chatting as they walked, her face full of excitement and joy. All the worries she had along the way were gone, and now she was left with only happiness.

When she entered the house, she was even more shocked.

After Ye Yaodong put her luggage down, the first thing he did was to drag out the bag of pots and pans hidden under the bed. The clanging sound was so loud that she covered her ears.

"What are you doing? What are you holding? Why are you making so much noise?"

"nice one!"

Ye Yaodong untied the hemp rope and took out several iron pots, soup pots, spatulas, etc.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing when she saw it, "Why? Are you taking it out so I can cook for you?"

"come over."

She walked over with a smile on her face and looked into the bag. At one glance, her eyes widened and her mouth opened into an O shape.

Ye Yaodong winked at her, "How is it!"

"Awesome! How come my man is so awesome!"

"Of course! Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, so satisfied."

Lin Xiuqing leaned over with a look of joy, took out a bundle, played with it in her hands for a while, and then, as if guilty of a thief, looked out the window fearfully.

"It's okay. Normally no one would come up here. There aren't many people here right now. People won't come back until night."

"Then you still have to be careful and don't take it out."

She put the money back, then picked up the sack in her hand and weighed it for a while, then she whispered excitedly again.

"I think it's more than 20 kilograms, almost 30 kilograms!"

"Almost. There are about 120 here! I have 30 more in the bank. No, including last year's, there are 50."

Lin Xiuqing put her hand over her mouth and then made a hushing gesture, "Stop talking and pretend."

"Ah."

"You're really smart. The pots and pans are placed in there. Who else but you would dare to take them out with such a loud noise?"

Ye Yaodong was beaming with joy, "Of course, only my brain can come up with that."

The couple quickly packed their things back and stuffed them under the bed.

"No one lives on either side of you, right? Otherwise, if there's such a loud noise, it would be heard."

"Don't worry, the three rooms on my left and the three rooms on my right are all empty, and there's no one downstairs either. I left them empty on purpose. Anyway, there are empty rooms now."

"That's good."

Ye Yaodong hugged her tightly and touched her all over, "So don't worry, no one will hear you even if you scream your throat out!"

Lin Xiuqing looked towards the window with a blushing face, "Are you so impatient..."

"Damn it, I'm so frustrated..."
