After a few years, he became a full-time worker and a master."

"Maybe in the future, I can be allocated a house, become a city dweller, eat commercial food, and be able to make a fortune without even knowing how much I can do, and be able to honor my ancestors, you know?"

Sister-in-law Ye's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was excited, "Yes, Ah Hai, as long as you work as an apprentice now, you will become a formal worker after you finish your studies. That will be an iron rice bowl, and from now on you will be a city dweller eating commercial grain."

Now, how can you go on a windy and sun-drenched adventure with your father on the sea again?"

Sister-in-law Ye was jealous, "Ah Dong, can you go and ask for one more spot? They are all nephews, the palms of their hands are flesh, and the backs of their hands are also flesh. You can't just love A Hai, A Jiang is also big, you can

Can’t you go and ask for one more spot?”

"They are both nephews. You have watched them grow up and played with them. You can't just think about Ahai. Ajiang is also grown. Can you let the two brothers go together?"

Ye Yaodong looked at them speechlessly.

"I run the factory, do I have the final say? If it's really me who runs the factory and I have the final say, then the whole family can go. It would be nice to be given a quota. It doesn't mean that I am partial to anyone, then it must be according to the rules.

In order of size, if I want my own son to be older, it won’t be Ah Hai’s turn.”

It's just an apprenticeship, and there's going to be internal strife. Isn't it fair?

His eldest and second brothers shouldn’t be so short of money now, right?

At least it is less than the previous one and more than the next one.

In the past two years, I have earned more than 10,000 yuan just from fishing for jellyfish, and there is also the flood season for squid. In addition, I go fishing intermittently throughout the year. After deducting the scheduled boats and the cost of building an additional house, I have 10,000 yuan in hand.

It should be worth a lot of money.

In the past two years, households worth 10,000 yuan have become less rare, but they are not a bad street either.

It can only be said that we are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.

For formal workers in the city, the temptation to eat commercial grain is a bit big.

Ye Chenghai listened to the adults beside him discussing. Sister-in-law Ye still wanted to fight for it, but she also thought it was a good thing and shouldn't be missed, so she reluctantly agreed.

Anyway, now I only need to go there for one day on the weekend. When I am studying, I can still work at my third uncle's place to earn money every night after school.

"Okay, then I'll go."

Sister-in-law Ye was happy and quickly put down the whip, "Okay, okay, you have to be obedient and serious in the future, and you have to thank your third uncle. When you become a city dweller, you have to be filial to him."

He nodded quickly, "Definitely, I like the third uncle the most."

Sister-in-law Ye continued unwillingly: "Well, Ah Dong, now Ah Hai has a job as an apprentice. If there is any other work or other good things in the future, you have to think about our family Ah Jiang..."

"knew."

Ye Yaodong responded perfunctorily and then went home.

Lin Xiuqing is also a little regretful that her children are too young. She also feels that it is a great thing to be able to work as a worker in a factory in the city. Although she is just an apprentice now, after she learns, she will definitely be treated like a formal worker.

How many people want to squeeze into the city to eat commercial food, but they don't have the chance, but they can still get one for Adong.

"I wonder if there will be another opportunity like this in the future?"

"Don't think too much, the people in the city are not that good. In a few years, the people in the city will not be able to eat commercial food. Originally, it was my father who kept whispering in my ears that the work in the shipyard was good. If possible, let Ah Hai also

Go in and learn a trade."

"If he's been talking too much into my ears, why don't I just take advantage of the situation and give it a try? It also depends on whether he is interested. If he's not interested, then he might as well come back and follow his father's footsteps."

He just mentioned it at that time, and it was indeed his father who mentioned it too many times. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with helping the family, and it is not necessary to go to the factory to drill screws.

Anyway, it depends on his personal interests and hobbies first.

Ye Mu retorted, "What's so good about working in the sea? It's hard and tiring, and you can easily die. How many people die at sea in a year? We, the older generation, can't help it. We rely on the mountains to eat, and the sea to eat. We have to learn crafts.

If you have the opportunity, of course you should learn the craft, otherwise you will have to force him to crawl away."

Father Ye also agreed, "Yes, you have to carry him even if you beat him to death."

It's scary, he has to be carried away after he dies.

"Let's have a meal. If Hai is willing to go, that's fine. If he doesn't know how to read, it's good if he can learn a craft." The old lady also happily greeted them to eat first.

After dinner, Father Ye continued to work on building a nylon awning. In the morning, he went to the town to buy materials and asked a few people to help build it. He had not finished the work all morning and had to continue working in the afternoon.

Ye Yaodong had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he also helped out. It wasn't until dusk that the nylon awning was set up.

There is a small area above the workshop, with several blocks built up. It looks very simple, but the current conditions are just like this.

After finishing his work, he went to the dock non-stop to help collect the goods. By the way, he also wanted to leave some goods home and prepare to invite his cousins ​​to drink in the evening.

He had asked his mother in advance that some of his cousins ​​might not be there during the day, some went out to work, but they were basically at home at night.

After leaving some seafood and going back, he asked Brother Aseng to call his three brothers and ask them to remember to come to his house for a drink after dinner.

Ye Yaosheng was surprised, why did Dongzi suddenly ask his brothers to come over for a drink?

Others were also surprised, feeling that the sun was rising in the west, and they were being asked to drink for no reason.

Except for meeting and saying hello on the road, Ye Yaodong has basically never been to their house. Although they are cousins, when they grow up, they each have their own circle of friends, and they have basically no contact with each other. Why would they invite them to drink?

Ye Yaofanna, he asked Ah Hai to call him, but he never walked past it himself.

Anyway, he would let others call him whenever he could, so as not to walk over. His eldest uncle, second uncle, eldest aunt and second aunt all pulled him and kept chattering, asking him to help the family and so on.

Ye Yaohong will have to wait for more than 7 years before he can be released from prison. He only has 4 cousins ​​left.

After dinner in the evening, the four of us came over together. On the way, everyone was wondering if there was something good they wanted to call them, and they all asked Ye Yaosheng.

After all, Ye Yaosheng was relatively close to him. He even rented his family's boat and worked for him. Under his guidance, his life, which was originally a mess, became more and more prosperous, and he even got a wife.

, I also have extra money in my hand, and other people are actually a little envious.

So much so that when we came over in the evening, everyone was extremely positive and excited. Maybe during dinner, in their respective families, the couple discussed and speculated on whether there was anything good going on.

I probably thought about it for a while.

However, no one thought that it would be a matter of repairing the tomb.

When Ye Yaodong invited them to sit down and drink and told them their purpose, everyone looked surprised.

"Is it to build a tomb, not to rent a boat?"

"What kind of boat should I rent? I don't have any extra boats to rent." Ye Yaodong also looked at them with some humor.

They looked at each other back and forth one by one.

"So you called us here just to talk about building grandpa's tomb?"

"That's right, your father is stubborn and refuses to agree to the construction of the tomb. He lets grandpa live in the wind, sun and rain on the mountain. How unfilial. It doesn't sound good if you say it out loud. You have to poke someone else's back. Who can build the tomb?

Not a positive response?”

"We are still counting on the blessings of our ancestors. If we don't build a cemetery and provide a shelter from the wind and rain, how can we ask for the blessings of our ancestors? We will be scolded to death."

"When you were alive, you never enjoyed a single day of happiness, and when you die, you don't have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. How miserable is that?"

"What I'm thinking is, is it because my eldest uncle and my second uncle have always disagreed with the construction of the tomb, that's why I was so angry that I didn't even bless you, but only our family?"

"Now it's another year of Qingming Festival. In half a month we will have to go up the mountain to sweep tombs and worship. I just want you to go home and do some ideological work for your eldest and second uncles and persuade them to agree to practice.

Tomb, so that when I visit the grave this year, I can tell my grandfather about it and pray for blessings."

"Otherwise, how would you have that face? Please bless me?"

Everyone couldn't stop nodding when he told him, they thought it made sense.

You want the blessings of your ancestors, but if you don’t even build a tomb, who will bless you?

Ye Yaosheng was the first to respond, "Dongzi is right, you need to go back and persuade me. If you repair the tomb early, you will have to repair the tomb later. If you repair it earlier, you can solve a big problem earlier."

"But now that my father is old, he can't make any money and can't do much work. It will cost a lot of money to repair the tomb..." Someone looked at Ye Yaodong with a stern look.

Everyone knew the meaning behind his words, he was trying to get Ye Yaodong to pay.

The only one in Uncle Ye's family, Ye Yaosheng, seems to be more honest and has a better character, so he usually doesn't pay much attention to the other two. Look at what he said, it's another one who wants to take advantage.

"Our grandpa, if you want to ask me to pay for it alone, I can, but you need to ask your dad first if he agrees."

Of course he can pay for it, but his advantage is not that easy to take advantage of.

Of course he has the final say on where to build it and how to build it. Moreover, he built the tomb, and no one else will have a share in it from now on. His grandfather will belong to him from now on.

When Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye grow old, they will have to wait for their son to build their tomb, and their treatment after death will probably be similar to that of his grandfather.

It depends on whether they are willing to do it or not.

Ye Yaosheng immediately retorted, "That won't work. Of course, everyone's grandfather paid for it together and shared it equally. This is the tomb of our Ye family, not the third uncle's alone."

Ye Yaopeng also said: "Yes, that's why we repeatedly asked the eldest uncle and the second uncle to discuss the matter of repairing the tomb, but they couldn't listen. That's why we called you here today to discuss with you and let you do the work of your fathers.

Ideological work.”

Father Ye did not go to the workshop to help, but sat in front of the stove, smoking a hookah while listening, and wanted to hear how they discussed the next generation. The women all went to work again, and it was not their women's fault in the first place.

Can be blended.

He also said aloud: "When you go back later, tell them what Dongzi just said. Do you still want your ancestors to bless them? If you really don't have money, you grandchildren can just give them what they have.

Otherwise, why would a son be born? Isn’t it just for the critical moment?"
