Mother Ye's eyes went straight as she saw each one of them counting out 8 yuan to buy such a small iron lump.

"What is this? 8 yuan?"

Father Ye explained to her with a smile, "This is called a lighter. It was just developed by local researchers. Only Adong knows the boss so he can bring some back. I heard that the orders are fully booked and the delivery date is three months away."

Yes, it was because we helped to do it together at that time that the extra goods were evenly distributed and brought back to Dongzi."

"Are you guys helping? Don't you want to go to sea?"

"On rainy or cloudy days, when the weather is bad and the light is poor, and we can't go out to sea, we help out at home and earn extra money at the same time."

"What do you mean? Doing this at home? Your own home? You did this at your own home? Doesn't it belong to someone else's boss?"

Father Ye hesitated for a moment, frowned, and thought about it again and again in his mind, and then briefly explained the matter to her, but did not mention the matter of being caught at all.

Before Ye Mu heard even half of the story, she slapped her thigh fiercely, "What? Dongzi bought a house over there? And became the president? What kind of president, what kind of high official is this?"

No one left, they all looked at Ye Yaodong curiously, wanting to hear more about their experiences on this trip. After all, not everyone could travel far away, and it was his kind who traveled far away every three days.

And made a lot of money.

"I asked you earlier if things were going well and if anything happened? You actually shook your head at me? You didn't even mention such a big thing. I didn't ask, and you didn't mention it either?"

"It went smoothly. He became the president. Now people over there call him President Ye. He made money smoothly and became an official. His glory has returned."

"It's so beautiful. Why didn't you tell me when I asked? Fortunately, it's about the scenery, otherwise I would have suspected you of being evil."

No matter how angry she was, she couldn't hide Ye Mu's beaming expression and suppress her voice.

"nerve."

Ye Yaodong: The truth is here, mother.

As soon as Ye's mother finished speaking, various compliments kept ringing in the room, and they kept asking what the president did.

Father Ye was so arrogant and proud that he taught them science again.

Ah Cai and the others had already listened to it once at the pier, but that didn't stop them from listening to it a second time and once again lamented Ye Yao's good fortune.

After complimenting him, he asked again: "I heard you say at the dock that you came back because of a temporary situation. What happened? I have just been attracted by Chairman Ye and the lighter, so I forgot to care.

.”

Father Ye's heart skipped a beat.

"Who said that?"

Wasn't he always on guard? I didn't hear Dongzi say, at most, when they docked, they handed over on the sea and said something to Wang Guangliang.

"Who said that? Anyway, the group of people who came back said it. It seems they heard it."

Agui added, "Didn't that guy A Liang ask the workers a few words when he was moving the goods?"

Ye Yaodong: Oh, it’s about to be exposed.

Mother Ye frowned and asked quickly: "What happened temporarily? I just said why you came back suddenly and didn't call in advance."

"What are you two doing? You don't say this, you don't say that, you don't say anything. You don't want to talk about the beautiful things? What exactly did you do?"

"You told me seriously that you had nothing to do, so you came back early, and you even mentioned the difference in weather. You were so arrogant. I was deceived by you. What happened to you?"

Father Ye glared at her, "It's just a small situation. What I told you is also true. The weather is cold and there is no money to make, so I came back."

Mother Ye looked at Ye Yaodong and said, "Tell me, what happened, so I decided to come back overnight. You are the only ones outside, and the family is worried every day, worried that you will have a conflict with the locals and be arrested like last time.

Even if we are caught or unable to come back, we will burn three sticks of incense there every morning and night to pray for Mazu’s blessing.”

Ye Yaodong coughed dryly, "It's just a small matter, and it's not our business, didn't we say that? I rented the house to President Fang, and his lighter workshop had some problems, so we thought we should come back early."

"Then what's so great about this?"

"There are still some stakes here, so we can't talk about it."

Ye's mother was doubtful.

If Acai and Agui hadn't been there, Ye Yaodong would have said it directly. His father had just shown his good face and didn't want to embarrass himself in front of outsiders. He didn't want to talk about it.

He had no choice but to help hide it a little more.

But in his heart, he felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, if he hid it now, the whole village would know about it tomorrow. Most of the village would know about it by the evening.

Ye Yaodong smiled again and looked at Acai and Agui, "I came back in a hurry today and didn't bring any local specialties. Otherwise, I would have to bring some specialties back for each of you."

"It's okay. Just sell us a lighter at a cheap price. The most important thing is to come back safely."

"Yes, no matter how much you make, coming back safely is the most important thing. At this time, we have to go to the dock quickly. There are probably fishing boats coming back to the shore, so we will leave first so as not to disturb your family reunion."

"Okay, okay, walk slowly."

After sending the person away, Ye Yaodong raised his feet again and sat down against the wall.

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye also said that half of the food at home was cooked and they should go home and cook first, otherwise the two brothers would have nothing to eat when they came back later.

Ye Yaodong looked at his mother with suspicious eyes, and his father looked uncomfortable and did not dare to look at his mother.

He helplessly said to Ah Qing: "Take out the cloth bag in the lockbox and give it to my mother, counting 300 yuan. This is my father's salary for the past month and a half. Take it back to her."

Ye's mother's attention was immediately diverted, no longer staring at the guilty Ye's father.
