Ye Xiaoxi hummed a few times.

The old lady asked him the same question again, "Why didn't you call me in advance when you came back? I didn't know you were coming back today, so I thought you would have to wait a few more days."

At this time, Father Ye also walked from the pier to the workshop door chatting and laughing with everyone. Hearing this, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"The situation is not good, why don't we come back early? Why do we need to make a phone call? We have to stay one more day to make the call. Do you know how much it costs to stay one more day? You can save a little by coming back early."

"Why is the situation so bad?"

Father Ye turned his head and saw that the goods on the tractor were almost moved, and changed the subject, "It's all done, let's move the remaining goods home. You can wash those baskets and buckets when the sun goes down.

, otherwise if you put it in the sun tomorrow, it will still smell of fishy seafood.”

"I know, uncle."

He asked again when he saw the dried fish being dried in the workshop.

Ye Yaodong told them to drive the tractor to the door before unloading the remaining goods.

Then he held the child in his arms, took the lockbox on the tractor in his hand, and headed home first.

Those boxes of lighters are not light in weight, they are not made of plastic, they are all solid metal.

Ye Xiaoxi lowered her head and wanted to get his lockbox, so he simply put him down and gave her the handle on one side of the lockbox.

She grinned, raised her head, and said in a sweet voice, "I'll get it!"

"People are no bigger than a box, so they have to touch everything twice."

"I can."

Ye Yaodong and her each carried a handle. Fortunately, the box inside was not heavy. There were only two sets of thin clothes, about 2,000 yuan, and some gadgets he bought while shopping a few days ago. They were not heavy. He

If you pick up one side with one hand and hand the other side to her, nothing will happen and you won't be afraid of hitting her.

It just so happened that the old lady couldn't walk fast, and Ye Yaodong had to follow Ye Xiaoxi's footsteps. The grandfather and grandson walked home slowly and basking in the sun, their faces sweating profusely, but their hearts were sweet.

Before any of them could reach the door, the tractor had already stopped at the door and began to carry the remaining lighters on it.

"Brother Dong, where should I put these boxes of things? This box is quite heavy."

"Move it into the house and ask your sister-in-law where it's better to put it. It can't be placed outside anyway."

"OK."

"What are those boxes? Why did you bring so many things back? Did you catch them at sea on the way?" The old lady stretched her neck and looked curiously.

"There is so much shit to be harvested every day. I bought these and I will deliver them to the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"What?"

"lighter."

"What chicken? There are so many chickens at home, and they will stink if you put them in there..."

The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched and he didn't want to explain.

Father Ye glared at the old lady with disgust, "What do you know? If you don't know, don't talk. When you come back, you will ask this question and that question. Why are there so many questions that you can't finish them all? You can't let people rest for a while. Everything is still there.

After moving, I couldn’t stop talking."

"Then I won't ask...I won't ask..."

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also came out when they heard the movement at the door and greeted them with a smile.

Lin Xiuqing shouted to them outside, "Come in for some noodles."

"Coming, I'm coming..."

Ye Xiaoxi was so happy that she immediately ran into the house, screaming as she ran.

The really hungry father and son hadn't spoken yet, so they could only follow the little girl back into the house.

The two sisters-in-law also followed into the house.

Come back, they are still family members after all. The two brothers went to sea and haven't come back yet, so the two sisters-in-law have to come over and have a look, stop and ask some concerned questions.

When he walked into the room, Ye Xiaoxi had already climbed up on the stool and sat on his seat waiting, "Where are the chopsticks? Where are the spoons? Where are the bowls? Where are the noodles?"

As soon as Lin Xiuqing put a large bowl of noodles on the table, she smiled and poked her forehead, "I'm not asking you to eat, but you are running so aggressively."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Get her a small bowl too, and I'll give her some."

"Well, go quickly, go quickly,."

Ye Xiaoxi stood up from the stool again on his hands and knees, lying on the table with his hands, stretching his head to look at the noodles in Ye Yaodong's bowl.

"It smells so good."

The adults all smiled and shook their heads. The cute drooling look made everyone couldn't help but smile.

But when they heard the next sentence, everyone was a little bit dumbfounded.

"I was reincarnated as a starving ghost!"

Ye Yaodong paused as he prepared to sandwich noodles with her, and glared at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that to you?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at his eyes and stared back, "Why are you looking at me?"

"Tiantian eats black beans, and my mother says that a starving ghost will be reincarnated."

Everyone now understood that it was a little boy from the neighbor who picked up sheep dung eggs and ate them, but his mother scolded him for being reincarnated as a starving ghost.

Children are like this. They learn extremely quickly. They learn whatever adults tell them, especially when adults often curse and curse. Children of several years old can learn it 100%.

"Don't learn everything. This is bad, you know? You can't talk about yourself like that."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded in understanding, but his attention was immediately transferred to the noodles being clamped.

Lin Xiuqing also turned around to open his suitcase, saying that he would let them eat noodles first and pack the things they brought back before it was too late.

The sisters-in-law also gathered around her to talk, and took a look at what good things Ye Yaodong had brought back.

When Ye Mu heard that they were coming back, she hurried back in a hurry. Even before they finished eating the noodles, Ye Mu's voice could be heard outside.

The question is still the same, and everyone who sees them has to ask it again.

Ye Yaodong and Ye's father still lowered their heads to eat noodles. No one looked up, and no one paid attention to her.

"Are you talking? Are you asking me a question? No one answered, what are you doing? You didn't say anything when you came back? What happened?" Mother Ye looked at this and that, curious.

Father Ye gurgled and picked up the bowl, drank all the soup in the bowl, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "If anything happens, we have to finish the meal before we can talk."

Mother Ye sat down with a smile, "I rushed back immediately when I heard they said you were back. Why is it so sudden this time? In the past, I would have called in advance."

"Well, I came back early because I had nothing to do. If you stay one more day, you will have to pay more for the day's expenses and wages."

"Are you running out of money?"

"Almost, the weather is getting a bit cold, and it can be rainy from time to time."

Mother Ye was suspicious, "It's not very cold yet. Is it colder over there than here? We are still very hot during the day, so we still have to wear short sleeves. At most, we can add a coat to the child in the morning and evening."

Father Ye said seriously: "It will be colder than ours. With such a long journey, the weather must be different. It has rained several times over there, one autumn rain and another cold. If it is cold, the difference is not big.

, it’s just that the weather is bad, so there’s no need to stay there longer.”

Ye Yaodong didn't say a word. He just said whatever his father wanted, regardless of whether his words didn't match his words or what he said later.

"Oh, it's good to come back safely anyway. No other boats are going on this trip. It's just your boat. The whole family is worried. The more you earn, the less you earn. As long as you're safe."

Father Ye nodded.

"Nothing happened this time, right? Did it go well?"

"Well, it went well."

"Then take a rest at home for a few days. Tomorrow, I will kill the chickens and ducks at home and give you a patch. They are both black and thin."

Listening to Mother Ye's rare tender words, Father Ye was almost moved to tears and nodded.

Ye Yaodong's little eyes looked here and there, already thinking about his mother's reaction after knowing that his father entered the palace for the second time.

Lin Xiuqing said on the ground, "Didn't you say you decided to come back temporarily? Why are there so many small toys in the box?"

"When I couldn't go out to sea, I went out to do some shopping and bought it. Fortunately, I bought it in advance, otherwise I would have come back empty-handed."

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi heard that there was a small toy, he quickly climbed off the stool and said, "My toy."

She opened the hem of her clothes, put all the toys Lin Xiuqing picked out into the hem of her clothes, rolled them up, and held them in her arms.

"Don't tell Dede..."

"Shit, those two have been looking forward to it too."

At this time, A Cai and A Gui also came to get the lighter, and there were two or three people who didn't come, so they asked them to help them get it.

After Ah Caiyu gave one to Ye Yaodong as a gift, he bought another one. He felt in his heart that there would be no store like this after passing this village. If the guarantee was not enough, there would be no stores tomorrow, and he would not be able to buy such a cheap one.

Anyway, his family's conditions are good, and they are not short of these few dollars.

"What lighter?" Except for Lin Xiuqing, none of the women in the room knew about lighters.

Ye Yaodong immediately got up and went to the room where the goods were stored to unpack them and get them.
