Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1533 Enough

Outside, at the shipyard, where there were many people coming and going, Mrs. Ye did not dare to say anything more, as it would be too ugly if they started arguing.

So she just shut up with an unhappy look on her face, but she was already extremely dissatisfied in her heart. It was too embarrassing in front of her sisters-in-law. Then when she went to Ah Hai's dormitory, she also had a sour face and said nothing.

Ye Chenghai also saw his mother's expression and simply ignored it.

It's easy to imagine that among so many people, the only one who can show a bad look to his mother is his father. What's there to ask? It would be so embarrassing to ask.

The group walked towards the bus stop while talking and chatting. The shipyard is quite remote and on the seaside, so there is only one bus, and it is very difficult to wait.

This shuttle bus was added only last year. Before that, we could only rely on bicycles.

While Ye Yaodong was waiting for the bus, he put his arm around Ye Chenghai's shoulder and winked at him. Ye Chenghai also grinned and winked at him.

The uncle and nephew exchanged glances with each other in a silent but eloquent way, and felt that they had gained a lot from this trip.

Ye Chenghai also rubbed his thumb, index finger and middle finger towards him.

Ye Yaodong glared at him, then imitated him and rubbed his thumb, index finger and middle finger.

Lin Xiuqing looked at them as if they were watching a pantomime and couldn't help laughing, "What are you two doing? Pantomime? What can't you say? Why are you gesticulating and making faces like this?"

"Nothing, just a casual exchange between me and my uncle."

"What did you communicate?"

"Uncle San said he would give me a big red envelope when I get married!"

"Have some shame."

Ye Yaodong retorted that it was obviously Ah Hai who should give him the matchmaker red envelope, and it was good enough that he didn't ask him to reimburse the gas money, but he still had the nerve to ask him for a big red envelope.

Ye Yaopeng smiled and said, "You don't even have a partner yet, and you're already asking for a red envelope. Wait until you find a partner and want to get married before you do."

"Sooner or later."

The group waited for the last bus, then went to eat while chatting and laughing, and after dinner they went to find a guesthouse.

As for Ye Chenghai, he went back after dinner. After all, it was far away and it took a long time to walk there, and he had to work the night shift.

However, during dinner, Ye Yaopeng also said that he would buy him a bicycle when they went out shopping tomorrow, so that it would be more convenient for him to ride a bicycle when he occasionally went to the city.

He was very happy because he could have a pillow delivered to him whenever he felt sleepy. With a bicycle, he could conveniently date and go to the city to go shopping and watch movies.

When Ye Yaodong went out for a walk the next day, he was also thinking that since he was already in the provincial capital, he might as well go to a big hospital to ask about hearing aids.

After all, it is the provincial capital. Although it is not as good as Shanghai, it is still there.

He will go to Zhou City and then find time to go to Shanghai. It is unknown how many months it will take. If it is convenient in the provincial capital, he can buy one and ask the doctor to teach him how to use it. It will be faster and more convenient to take it back.

He talked to Lin Xiuqing about it, and Lin Xiuqing agreed with him.

Several people were shopping together that day, but one was waiting for another, and then everyone went shopping on their own.

He also went to the hospital with Lin Xiuqing early the next morning after the shopping trip. When they arrived at the hospital, in addition to getting hearing aids, he also decided on the spur of the moment that the couple should both have a physical examination.

This operation confused Lin Xiuqing.

"We're all fine, why did the doctor give us a checkup?"

"It's okay to have a physical examination. You're already in your thirties, so it's good to have a physical examination."

"Ah? We are only in our thirties, not sixties. Why do we need to check? I'm fine. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. There's no need to check. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, check it yourself."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him in confusion. What she thought was a lie! The two of them were so young and had no illness or pain, but they still needed a check-up?
What to check if you are not sick?
"Since we are here, let's check it out together."

"What is there to check? We are not sick and we are fine. It's a waste of money and time. It's so troublesome."

"It's okay to check in advance, just as a checkup. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, it may be too late."

"It's funny. When people are sick, they try to endure it and avoid going to the hospital if they can. But we go to the hospital for a checkup when we are not sick. Don't be crazy."

"If there is any potential disease, it is hard to tell if there are no symptoms in the early stage. Just get checked first. Since you are here, why are you afraid to spend the money?"

"I feel it's unfair. I have to spend this much money to get checked out when I'm fine. Others just want to stay away from the hospital."

"Go ahead and check it out. I've been working so hard outside all year long, and I feel sore here and there every day. Only after I check my physical condition can I feel at ease."

"Then you check yours, I won't check mine."

"Investigate together, I have a companion."

Ye Yaodong pulled her and asked the doctor to write them a check-up list directly, checking them from head to toe, and being more thorough, and arranging all the examinations that could be arranged for them, and not to worry about it being too expensive and they couldn't afford it.

Lin Xiuqing looked at him as if he was crazy and investigated him from head to toe.

The doctor looked at him strangely, but since he had come to him specifically to ask for a checkup order and a full physical examination, he was naturally given his request.

It’s just that they had all eaten breakfast in the morning and some projects could not be done, but Ye Yaodong insisted on coming again the next day to draw blood on an empty stomach.

"You are really bored..."

"I've been here for decades, but I haven't been to the hospital once..."

"Ah, what a shame, you're just talking nonsense."

"I mean, since we're all here now, we might as well get a checkup to put our minds at ease."

After all, her health was not very good in her previous life and she died of colon cancer early.

You have to pay attention to your diet in this life and check what you need to do. It’s a coincidence that today is the day for you to do it, and I have a legitimate reason.

It was just the right time to arrange the examination package, otherwise it would be difficult to call her over for examination next time.

It was not easy to ask her to check just now, let alone ask her to come again just for the check.

If he wants to come for a physical check-up next time, he doesn’t know how to make up a story or lie. Who would go to the hospital every day for no reason?

Lin Xiuqing felt that if she had known earlier, she would not have come to the provincial capital. Her two sisters-in-law were happily strolling around the city, while she went to the hospital for two consecutive days for nothing.

Fortunately, the hearing aid has been fitted, and I only need to have my blood drawn on the morning of the fourth day in the provincial capital, so I still have a whole day left.

However, in the afternoon, they had to go to the shipyard to check on the maintenance situation.

These days, they also take an hour or so every afternoon to check on the progress.

Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and they have to sail back early in the morning. In the afternoon, they will confirm the conditions of each ship and pay the inspection fees, maintenance fees, spare parts fees, etc.

There were basically no major problems with the dozens of ships that came over. The large ships had only been in service for one or two years, and the other small boats only needed some spare parts replaced or the machines maintained, so there were no major problems.

However, the factory manager's words were well spoken. If small problems are not solved, they will easily become big problems in the future.

I’m afraid I’ll get stuck in the middle of working at sea. It would be ok if there are fishing boats operating around, but if I can’t see any boats, then I’ll be worried that no one will be able to help me.

Now that the minor problem has been solved, the service life can be extended.

After the brothers learned about the situations of their respective fishing boats, they were very satisfied, as they all had some problems to a greater or lesser extent.

That night, everyone slept on the boat and could sail away directly at night.

As for the medical examination reports of Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing, they directly asked Ye Chenghai to pick them up in a week and then send them registered mail.

It is also convenient as they don’t have to run around to get report forms.

When Ye Chenghai first heard that he had to help them go to the hospital to get a report, he thought they were sick or something had happened.

Lin Xiuqing was still muttering to himself when he arrived at the small rest cabin on the ship. People felt that he was just looking for trouble and had to trouble others to make a trip to get the report form and then send a registered letter.

"Good health is the most important thing. Get a checkup to put your mind at ease. It's best if you are healthy. If you are sick, it can be discovered early. Isn't that even better?"

"Then it's not too late to get checked when you're in your 50s or 60s."

"It may be too late, but just take it as peace of mind. Regular checkups are also a way to be responsible for your own health. It would be best if there is no problem this time. I can come back in a few years."

We can't say that he comes for a checkup every year, otherwise Ah Qing will think he is crazy.

"Okay, since we've already checked, we can talk about it later. We have to do it while we can."

"Ah."

Although it was already dark, it was not time to go to bed yet. After the couple made the bed, they stood on the deck and chatted out of boredom.

It was just that the wind was a little strong, and the temperature was even lower after dark, so they stood there for a while and then returned to the warm cabin.

"There are people working in this shipyard 24 hours a day, and it seems to be very profitable."

"Of course, I didn't expect that my elder and second brothers would be so quick this time. In just three days, they directly partnered to order a 40-meter boat."

"Yeah, I was surprised when I heard about it this afternoon. I thought they would procrastinate and hesitate, and then this year would pass and they would have to wait until next year."

"Maybe I thought of this. I'm going home tomorrow and will leave for Zhou City the day after tomorrow. If I don't make a reservation today, I won't be able to make a reservation this year. The shipyard in Zhou City is larger and has better facilities, so it's naturally more expensive. This one is still cost-effective."

When I was staying in the guesthouse a few nights ago, I heard the two couples suppressing their quarrel and thought they were going to fail.

After all, everyone was doing their own things these two days, and he and Aqing went to the hospital again, so he had no idea where they were going.

Unexpectedly, this time, the two brothers were so decisive in suppressing the two sisters-in-law and decided to take over the ship today.

When he and Lin Xiuqing came by bus in the afternoon, they watched them book a boat, and then agreed to transfer the deposit of 10 yuan to the shipyard's public account when they returned tomorrow, and the remittance slip would be sent directly by registered mail.

In the past few years, his elder brother and second brother have been following him closely. Although they have fewer boats, they still earn a lot, mainly because the money accumulates.

Before A Guang split up the family, it could be said that he was the one who earned the most in the Pei family except for him, but now after the split, he was earning money at about the same rate as his elder and second brothers.

His elder and second brothers have now made up their minds and ordered a 40-meter boat. Once they get the boats, it will only be a matter of time before they surpass him.

This time I was really decisive.

Maybe it was because he had personally experienced the terrifying speed at which the prices of fishing boats increased, so he was no longer affected by women.

In other words, you should love your wife and give in to her. Otherwise, you won't let them interrupt you in important matters, let alone listen to them.

He also said nice things in the afternoon, telling his elder and second brothers that if they didn't have enough money to pay the balance, they could come to him and he could move the money around.

The two brothers were actually a little nervous about making such a big decision.

However, after seeing him and hearing his words, my mood calmed down a little.

After all, he has more boats, including so many 40+ fishing boats, and he makes a lot of money every day. Moreover, he can provide them with help, so the pressure is instantly reduced.

At that time, I saw that his two brothers became visibly relaxed. They used to look serious, distressed and frightened, but now they were able to talk and laugh.

Lin Xiuqing continued, "We have Ah Hai at the shipyard here. With Ah Hai helping to keep an eye on it, it's definitely safer than handing it over to an outside factory. After all, a ship worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is related to the family assets of both families, and they must be nervous after paying the money."

"It's all good. Once it's settled, you can call Ah Hai to inquire about the progress if you have any questions. With Ah Hai watching over you, you don't have to worry about the materials being poor. We will definitely pay attention to our own boats."

"Yes, he is busy anyway, earning money at sea, and it would be much easier if his son looked after him."

"It can also give Ah Hai some face. Ah Hai has been very proud these past two days, haha."

Lin Xiuqing thought about the afternoon when she saw Ah Hai secretly holding a girl's hand, so she quickly mentioned it to him. However, there were so many people around at the time that it was difficult to talk about it, and she almost forgot about it.

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Holding hands already? It was very quick. It was worth it for me to support him for once."

"I was wondering why you brought these big ships that have only been in service for a year or two here. So you are here to support him?"

He certainly couldn't admit this, otherwise Ah Qing would nag him for wasting so much gas money.

"It really needs to be overhauled. Now that it's overhauled in advance, we can go out to sea and earn money when we get to Zhou City. We don't have to wait in line at the shipyard, which will delay us for who knows how many days. Here, Ah Hai can go through the back door and arrange for a master directly, which is more convenient."

"I think I was the only one who saw it this afternoon. He probably didn't tell my brother and his wife. At that time, you were talking about ordering a new ship. I was walking around the factory and only saw it when I got to the dormitory building."

"I heard him mention it before. That girl is the daughter of the factory director. It's a good match. If it works out, it's like finding a treasure."

Based on her family background, we know that her upbringing is not bad. And from the shy look of the girl, we know that she is young and innocent.

Most girls these days are very pure, so you don’t have to worry too much about their lifestyle.

"She's the factory director's daughter? Her conditions are so good?"

"But it seems that he has four older brothers, two older sisters, and a younger brother. Although his family background is good, there are many children in the family. I guess his life was not so easy in the past few years."

"So many brothers and sisters... eight?" Lin Xiuqing was surprised for a moment, but thought it was normal. "Then life has probably only been better in recent years. Otherwise, with so many mouths to feed, food and drink in the city would cost money. Life in the past might not have been as good as it is in our countryside."

"Of course. Don't envy the city folks who eat the public rations. That little ration is not enough to feed so many people in the family. It's not as good as the free food and drink we have in the countryside."

"I heard someone say a few days ago that you can use your connections to get a city hukou and eat public food, but it will cost you a few thousand yuan..."

"Just listen for fun, they will regret it later. Also, I don't know if Ah Hai has mentioned his girlfriend. If he hasn't, don't tell her, or else the sister-in-law will be angry. We know everything, but she, as a mother, knows nothing."

"Okay, I won't say anything for now. When my sister-in-law starts bragging about how Hai found a date in the city, I'll listen and say a few words to join in the fun."

"If she found a date from the city, and she was the daughter of the director of a shipyard, she would be so excited that she would want to stand at the entrance of the village with a loudspeaker and shout."

Lin Xiuqing laughed cheerfully, "Of course, it's already very prestigious to find a date in the city, not to mention that the person's family is also very good. It will be very proud if you tell others about it. My mother will have to join in the fun and spread the word."

"Well, if things go well, we should be able to drink at Ah Hai's wedding by the end of the year."

The order for the boat ordered by his elder brother was just right, just enough to let the factory manager see their family's strength!

He bought a ship worth hundreds of thousands of dollars without hesitation, and he was so decisive that the deal was made in just a few days.

When the factory director finds out that his daughter has been taken away by someone, he probably won't object too much. Although the man is from the countryside, he has some strength.

By that time, while the two are discussing marriage, his elder brother can also buy a house in the provincial capital.

Then you can't have one for the eldest son and not for the younger son. You can't favor one over the other, so the premise is that you have to buy two sets.

Buy now and you will make a profit.

In the future, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams. By then, I will be able to take care of this family business and won’t have to worry about the rest of my life.

Besides, Ah Hai will have the support of his father-in-law in the future, which is not a big deal. He also has his own ideas, which can be regarded as overtaking others.

"Last year people were saying that Chenghe would get married earlier than Ah Hai, but now it seems hard to say who will get married earlier between the two brothers."

"If Jiang knew about this, he would complain and scold Hai."

"Why are you scolding him?" Lin Xiuqing asked curiously.

The couple was lying in the cabin. It was not yet time to go to bed, but they had nothing to do so they chatted about anything.

"The two of them agreed to be single together and fight against me together. Now, Ah Hai has found a partner, and he has to support me alone."

"Haha, there's no rush anyway. We're still young, maybe it'll be better to find someone in a few years."

"Who cares? It's not our turn to worry about it. The three of us are still young."

"I don't know if your daughter still remembers that her sister is leaving since we haven't been home these few days."

"So many days have passed and there has been no movement. He must have forgotten about it. Anyway, when the time comes, we can leave early in the morning and secretly take Xiaoyu out of bed and take her away."

Lin Xiuqing could already imagine how miserably Ye Xiaoxi would cry by then, and how she would hold the phone and complain to Pei Yu with tears and snot.

"Well, you guys just walked away and left me to clean up the mess."

"Just coax her a little, draw some cakes for her, and take her over to play for two months during the summer vacation."

"talk later……"

The couple fell asleep while chatting.

Hearing the roar of the engine in the middle of the night, Lin Xiu woke up and found that the bed next to her was empty and the fishing boat started moving. She slowly closed her eyes again.

When I got home, the sun had just set.

"Wow~ The cake is back~"

"It's so big. Now I can eat it to my heart's content..."

"Haha, my uncle and aunt also have cakes, so we can eat our cakes ourselves..."

"That's great! I can eat lots of cake today and have it as a meal in the evening..."

The couple was holding a big cake in their hands. As soon as they got off the boat, they were surrounded by their three children excitedly. The cake was also taken by Ye Chenghu.

The other two also reached out to grab it. Ye Chenghu still had some authority as a big brother. He scolded them and told them not to knock the cake over. Only then did they reluctantly stop.

The eldest brother, the second brother and A Guang also bought one each, and were excitedly surrounded by their own children.

There were also workers who were willing to spend money, and many of them bought small sizes.

It's a rare trip to the provincial capital, so of course the kids have been thinking about cakes lately.

After having the birthday banquet once, not long after, I was still looking forward to having it again. Before my father left, he had already told me to bring one back.

All the kids around me are talking about is cake...

As for those who didn't buy a cake, the children would naturally be disappointed and frustrated, which made the father feel guilty...

Some are happy and some are sad.

Ye Yaodong also brought back a box of hearing aid. When he got home and saw the old lady, he handed it to her.

The old lady smiled and said, "What did you buy for me again? Why did you buy it for me again? Just bring back the cake."

"This is a hearing aid. I went to the provincial hospital to get one for you. I didn't go there, so the effect might not be as good, but I was taught how to adjust it. I'll just use it for now. At your age, you're not suitable for long journeys."

The old lady listened to him with her ears tilted, and then said, "Why waste this money? This is too troublesome. Can't you just speak louder? Can you return this thing? Why don't you take it and return it."

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. "The gas money for my round trip is more expensive than this hearing aid. You want me to take a special trip and bring it back?"

"Ah, then...never mind. Don't waste money next time. How can I use this? Put it on me quickly. Don't waste it. After all, I spent money."

"Well, I'll put it on you. It's very valuable. The longer you wear it, the more you'll get out of it. If you only wear it for a day or two, you'll be wasting your money."

The old lady nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll wear it every day, except when I sleep, and I'll make sure it's enough for you."

"Ah."

Lin Xiuqing muttered quietly, "When I go to the provincial capital, I spend half of my time in the hospital. The old people are not examined, but the young are examined..."

"Mom, can we just cut the cake?"

"It's almost time for dinner. If we cut it up now and eat it, will we still be able to eat dinner?" Lin Xiuqing hurried into the house.

"No need for dinner, the cake is our dinner!"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the cake with sparkling eyes, and lay flat on the table. She couldn't wait to scoop up the cream with her index finger to taste it.

"too delicious……"
