The old lady quickly explained to him, "Dongzi has just been away from home for too long. He has just come back and is very friendly to the children. He wants to use his pocket money to buy them something to eat."

"If there is something that is difficult to control, just give it a good beating. There is nothing that cannot be solved by a beating. If you are not obedient after one beating, just give it a few more beatings. After the beating, you will always be able to be honest for a few days.

of."

"You said it's simple, how many times have you beaten me?"

"You can just take action. It is said that a loving mother often loses her child, which means that a mother should not be too kind to her children, so she has to take action."

"Just argue..."

Ye Chenghu ran back from outside quickly, "Dad, they are talking to someone, they will be here soon."

Ye Yaodong touched his pocket and gave him 5 cents, and then gave 5 cents to Yangyang who was last.

Ye Chengyang was so happy. He received 5 cents before, and now he has received another 5 cents. He has a dime. The most important thing is that he has 5 cents more than his brother.

"Did they never go back at all? Or were they dragged into talking to them on the way here?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Come over later and see if the clothes dad is wearing are the ones he came back with."

Ye Chenghu immediately said: "My father is still wearing rain boots."

"That means you haven't gone home yet and are bragging on the road."

Ye Chengyang interrupted, "Dad, they said that since you became an official, you will be called President Ye from now on!"

"Um."

He touched his pocket and found that there were only a few pennies left, so he gave Ye Chengyang a dime note, "Reward you!"

Ye Chengyang jumped three feet high with joy, "I have two... I am rich again..."

"Put it in a piggy bank and save it."

"I know." Ye Chengyang ran upstairs like a gust of wind, intending to put the money in the piggy bank.

Ye Chenghu looked at it eagerly, "I want it too."

Ye Yaodong was happy, so he touched his pocket and gave him another dime, "You are not allowed to buy marbles, you are not allowed to buy little heads, you are not allowed..."

Ye Chenghu didn't even finish listening, he took the money and immediately ran upstairs.

Ye Xiaoxi lowered her head and played with her new stuffed animals intently. She watched the two people running past her one after another. She raised her head blankly and looked left and right, and then quickly followed them up the stairs.

"Don't go upstairs anymore, let's eat right away..." Lin Xiuqing shouted towards the stairs, but no one listened to her and they all ran upstairs.

Father Ye came over again after a while, wearing the same clothes he wore when he came back earlier. He didn't even change into rain boots, and his face was red.

Ye Yaodong looked him up and down, "You've been back for a long time, and you're still halfway there? Is your home so far away?"

"When the villagers saw us coming back on the way, they pulled me and kept talking. Your mother also told the people next to her that she was happy, so we stood there for a while. Who knew that more and more people came around to talk."

"Mom hasn't come here yet?"

"Is it coming soon? She is promoting lighters to you and has already sold several."

"My mother is really good at sales."

"Don't worry about her. She will come over to eat naturally later. Let's eat ours first, and go back early to rest after eating. It's been a tiring day, and we can only relax when we get home."

Looking at the smile on his father's face, he was beaming with joy, and he knew that the second entry into the palace had not yet been exposed or spread.

He thought about it and simply told his father to fire two of the boatmen on the ship tomorrow and take advantage of this time to rest.

But Father Ye felt that talking about this matter would be too embarrassing and a loss of face.

"It's simple. It happens that those two are about the same age as you. Just tell them tactfully that they are older. They can't eat well, sleep well or work hard on the ship. They can easily overeat and hurt their health. You yourself also feel it obviously.

When they can no longer bear it, let them just go home and work the land so that they can take care of themselves and don’t have to go to sea."

"It's only over 50, they must say they can do it..."

"It's not up to them to decide what to do. Just take note of this and ask them to take care of themselves. Anyway, try not to take off this fig leaf to save some face for others."

After all, at this age, it wouldn't sound good if word spread that they wanted to steal things from other people's workshops. It would be even worse than being caught and questioned by the Public Security Bureau.

At least the police only called him over for questioning, and he was also implicated. The reputation of thieves is too bad.

"Okay, let's go over and talk about it tomorrow. It's not a good idea to go over and talk about it in such a hurry today."

"Um."

"Will you deliver the lighters to the city tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm back anyway. Hurry up and get these goods to the city and get them out as soon as possible. I can take care of the family matters after I get back."

Father Ye has no objection. He arranges his own affairs, but there is one thing...

He turned to Lin Xiuqing and asked, "Has Ye Yaohai from the province called me in the past month or so? Did he mention going back to worship his ancestors?"

"I was thinking about what I told A Dong after dinner. I have an idea about the filling machine he wants. The old man called me a month ago and said that he could get him two sets of semi-automatic machines and let him go there.

We need to talk in detail face to face. A Dong was not at home at the time, so I told him that it was around the National Day. I didn’t expect you to come back until now. He didn’t mention the matter of ancestor worship, and he didn’t call me recently. "

Ye Yaodong was excited and immediately said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It was more than a month ago. I remember it, but you didn't ask. I was just thinking about answering your question and didn't bother to talk about it for the moment."

"It's too late now. I'm going to make a call tomorrow and ask about my return to my hometown to worship my ancestors. It's been two months now. The person who called me at the time said it was only two months. It should be

It’s almost time.”

"We need to make a phone call so we can make preparations." Father Ye has always cared about ancestor worship.

Ye Yaodong thought about it carefully, and suddenly there were quite a lot of things going on. He would go to the market tomorrow and explain the shipment of lighters to his father-in-law.

I also need to go and take a look at the land disposal situation in the city. His brother-in-law's house has probably started to be built, but I don't know what the progress is on his land.

"Dad, please sort out the boatman's matter. I will definitely have to travel around a lot in the near future and won't have time to stay at home. It just so happens that my salary has been paid until today when I get back from this trip, so those two don't have to work with us anymore. I'm relieved.

There is no need to pay wages anymore.”

"knew."

"Let's eat first. Let's talk about anything while eating." The old lady didn't understand these things about them, so she could only greet them to eat first.

At this time, Ye Mu also came in like a storm from outside.

As soon as she came in, she stared at Father Ye.

"I asked you why you were acting weird when you came back. You looked like something was wrong. It turns out something was wrong again."

The expression on Father Ye's face immediately became uncomfortable, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and eat."

"Why were you arrested again? Tell me, why are you so secretive when you come back? If you have anything to hide, you have to tell me sooner or later. It's better to know from your mouth than to hear it from outsiders."

"When I heard about it just now, I was shocked. I asked you why you never asked me. When you asked me, you impatiently changed the subject. I thought I was being too worried."

"I was a bit confused when I heard what others said. I didn't understand. Please tell me. I won't laugh at you. I keep asking because I care about you."

Father Ye said angrily: "It's not a glorious thing. If you have anything to talk about, it would be nice if you talk about more good things."

Ye's mother originally said it in a nice tone, feeling that what she said was quite concerned, but after listening to Ye's father's attitude, she didn't feel so easy to say anymore.

"So, I've heard you tell President Ye's story over and over again, and I've blown your mind. It's a good thing it's not in the local area, otherwise the villagers would have asked you to arrange for me to be a minor official."

"That's why they pulled me and said..."

"Don't you also say that you are very happy and proud?"

"You're not happy or proud?"

Mother Ye snorted and admitted openly, "Of course I am happy, of course I am proud. My son is so promising. When I go out, everyone's face will be bright. Who doesn't envy me for giving birth to a good son who can earn me money?"

face."

Father Ye had nothing to say to refute, so he could only lower his head and eat his food in silence.

But I was thinking, why did it spread so quickly?

Why are those boatmen so talkative? They don't feel ashamed and they talk about it as soon as they get home.

He felt that he had never done anything wrong in his life. He was just plain and honest. Going to the police station twice was really a stain on his life, a shame and a great humiliation.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mother Ye softened her attitude and began to comfort him again.

"Actually, it's nothing. You're not the only one. There are so many people going in anyway, so they won't just laugh at you alone. What's more, who dares to laugh at you? It's too late for everyone to envy you."

"And I heard from everyone that the time I went in this time was very short, and it was because of others' involvement. Our family still has connections, and Dongzi just found someone and was released immediately."

"Doesn't this sound like it saves face? It also shows that our family is powerful, so what are we afraid of? We have nothing to say to others, and nothing to laugh at."

"Anyway, it's not the first time. What needs to be said has been said before. How can I still laugh at people now? It's not like I'm actually in jail. It's like a few years, just a few days."

"You said it last time, you just went in and walked around. I gained a lot of experience. If others want to have this experience, why don't they come? They don't even know where the public security bureau door opens..."

Father Ye looked at a loss for words. What he said before sounded good to me, but what was he talking about next?

"Okay, let's eat quickly. If you don't know what to say, don't say it. Why do you think it's an honorable thing? Does anyone else want to gain this knowledge?"

"Isn't that what you said? At least I haven't had this experience yet."

"Then do you want it? I'll take you there next time."
