In total, she was away from home for four days and spent two days traveling at sea, but Lin Xiuqing felt like she had been away from home for a long time.

Looking at the seaside just around the corner, she stood on the helm and kept asking him happily, how long will it take?

Ye Yaodong became impatient even if she asked questions.

"Why don't you drive it? Keep asking."

"Where would I be? It's already dark. Why does this trip take so long?"

"Can the wind direction be the same when I went there as when I came back? It's normal that it takes a little time."

Moreover, coming back from the city is further away than coming back from the town before, and of course it takes a little longer.

"How long will it take?"

"It's long-winded, twenty minutes at most. Did you know that I broke my leg running at Wangshan? It looks close, and it takes a while to drive. If I'm long-winded, I'll drive straight into the city."

Lin Xiuqing shut up.

But when the fishing boat was approaching the dock, she shouted happily, "It's here, it's here..."

It was already completely dark, and there was no one on the pier. Only when they docked in the middle of the sea, the light of the flashlight came out from the workshop, and then the light of the flashlight continued to the pier.

"Did A Liang, who was on duty at the workshop, know that we were back and came out from the dock to pick us up?"

"Isn't this nonsense? The lights on the boat are still on. When such a big boat comes in, they will know we are back just by looking at the beach. If they don't know to come to pick us up, they will deduct their wages."

"Is it parked? It's parked, let's go down?"

"Let's go."

Ye Yaodong came out of the cockpit and picked up his password box. The couple went down together. The boatmen lowered the anchor into the sea when the boat stopped. At this time, everyone was holding their luggage on the deck and waiting for the fishing boat to pick them up.

"Do you want to move the lighter down?"

"No, just put it in the cabin and lock it. I'll take it to the city tomorrow morning, so there's no need to move it around."

"Well, that will save you the trouble and don't have to move it."

There was no need to work at all on this trip. They only had to follow the boat back and forth. Moreover, they worked as lighters there for two days and each of them earned several dollars.

Now I can rest again when I come back, and everyone has a smile on their face, especially the two people who have just been replaced. They didn't do much work, so they received double wages.

After waiting for the fishing boat from the other side to come and pick them up, Ye Yaodong told them, "Go back and rest for two days. If there is no accident, we will go out to sea the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, okay."

After saying that, he got on the bicycle, let Ah Qing sit on it, and let his father walk back alone.

Lin Xiuqing carried two baskets in both hands, filled with the things she bought.

As soon as we walked to the door of the house, the children all shouted excitedly.

"Dad is back?"

"Where is my mother? Dad, where is my mother?"

"Mom is behind..."

Ye Yaodong's bicycle was forced to stop at the door, and Lin Xiuqing also got off the bicycle.

"Mom, why did you come back by bicycle?"

"Yes, did you go riding a bicycle with dad?"

"Mom, what are the things in your basket?"

The two brothers chatted around Lin Xiuqing incessantly. After getting off the bicycle, Ye Yaodong could only stand aside. No one asked him a question, as if he had not just come back.

They just called him dad when they met face to face, and they called him dad because they were asking for their mother. Later, he didn't hear anyone calling him at all. Even his nephews all followed the two brothers and surrounded Lin Xiuqing.

So heartless!

It’s so chilling!

No one cares about him!

Everyone gathered around Lin Xiuqing and asked questions.

She didn't have time to answer, but no one came to him to ask him.

No, there were still people coming up to him to ask for help, but their legs and feet were a little slower, and they couldn't compete with those stinky kids.

"You're back? It's good that you're back. You're back pretty quickly this time, so you don't have to worry about it. You're back first. I'll make it for you if you want to eat." The old lady said cheerfully.

"Whatever, let's go in first."

He pushed his luggage and bicycle in together. No one at the door had come in yet, and Lin Xiuqing was still being pestered.

"Those stinky kids, haven't I come back too? No one comes to me. They usually shout so affectionately, but today it's like they're blind."

"Haha, they asked me 8 times a day, why haven't you come back yet?"

"Are you asking about their mother? I didn't see them asking that when I wasn't at home."

"They are used to you being away from home for three days and two."

"I knew you didn't ask me."

"Haha, let's take a shower first? You can probably eat it after you wash it off."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and felt that he should not be such a failure. He also had his daughter. If his daughter was here, she would definitely hold his lap.

"Where's Xiaojiu? Haven't you come back these days?"

"No, we're all at Emi's. We came over to play with her yesterday, but we didn't come over tonight. I'll take her with her after dinner later."

He nodded and didn't say anything. He was just waiting to sort out his things, pick a few items to send to their home, and pick up the child by the way.

It wasn't until the water in the pot was bubbling that Lin Xiuqing walked in surrounded by the children.

"Okay, you all go and play, everything will be shared among you, so you don't have to follow me anymore."

Ye Chengyang held the cake in his hand and asked eagerly: "Mom, you won't go out again, will you?"

Ye Chenghu guarded her uneasily, "Mom, just let my dad go out next time. Don't go far away."

Ye Yaodong couldn't bear it anymore, "You bastard, my mother is my biological mother, and my father is no longer my biological father, right?"

"Hey, Dad, aren't you used to running out every day? Don't take my mother with you next time." Ye Chenghu said confidently.

Ye Yaodong raised his hand and pretended to hit him, but he cleverly hid from Lin Xiuqing's left to the right, stretched his head over and made a face, and then ran out.

Ye Chengyang saw him running away and immediately followed him, shouting as he ran: "Wait for me, brother, we will guard at the door, don't let my mother run away again."

"OK……"

"How old are these two? They are still clinging to you, and you are not allowed to go out?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "I have never left them. After a few days, they couldn't bear to leave."

"You tidy up the things you brought back and pack them out later. I'll take them to Huimei's house and pick up the little one by the way."

"good."

In order to gain some confidence as a father from his childhood, Ye Yaodong finished a large bowl of noodles in a few big mouthfuls, and then went to pick up Ye Xiaoxi with his things.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxi was originally playing happily and laughing, but when she saw him, her face immediately changed and she burst into tears.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...They all said that no one wants me anymore. You don't want me anymore..."

"Bad dad, you just came to pick me up... I want my mother... I want my mother..."

Ye Yaodong became helpless immediately after she cried. He quickly picked her up, wiped her tears, and coaxed her.

"Aren't you back now? It's only been a few days. I usually go longer than this."

"I want a mother, I want a mother..."

The adults in the room quickly ran out when they heard the crying outside, only to find out that Ye Yaodong was back.

A Guang asked with a smile: "Just came back?"

"Yes, I came over to pick up the child as soon as I got home."

"After living here for a few days, the neighbors nearby teased her, saying that no one wanted her, so they left her here. She took it seriously. She cried for a long time yesterday and asked for her third sister-in-law. We even took her there to play with her yesterday.

, I hugged her again after I went to bed."

Ye Yaodong coaxed and said: "Everyone is joking with you, there is nothing to cry about."

"You haven't thrown away all your gains, throw away me!"

"Dede was originally picked up. We didn't throw you away, but didn't you like playing with Xiaoyu? So we let you live with Xiaoyu. Aren't we going to pick you up right away?"

Ye Xiaoxi stopped crying with tears in his eyes, "Do you have to pick it up?"

"Well, brother picked it up. Don't cry. Your mother bought you a lot of delicious food. Let's go home and eat delicious food."

She nodded, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, hugged his neck, rested her little head on his shoulder, and stopped saying hello to Pei Yu, urging him to go home.

Ye Yaodong said hello to them, pointed to the things just put down on the stool, and went back first.

All the way back, he kept coaxing the child and asked him if he missed him.
