"Yes, this boat looks new and not too small."

"Didn't you say you have more than a dozen ships? Why didn't you see the other ships?"

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "The other boats have been rented out, why can't we buy them back? Recently, the weather has been rare and the boats have gone out to sea. This boat is left at home to pick up the goods."

"The second time I came to your place, I realized that you have changed so much in the past few years. Now you are living the life of a rich wife. You just need to collect rent every day."

"That boat in the middle of the sea looks really big. Does that one cost tens of thousands? Is your family really big now?"

Lin Xiuqing's sisters and sisters-in-law were all talking around her, extremely envious.

In the past, because of the long distance and because they each had families, there were less contacts. At most, we would bump into each other occasionally when we went back to our parents' homes during the New Year and holidays. It was impossible to say a few words or visit each other.

So this was also the second time they came after Lin Xiuqing got married. The first time was when she gave birth to a baby and was one month old.

These are poor times. If you give birth to a child, at most the first one will be lively, and the subsequent ones will be simply skipped. So after so many years, it was only the second time for her sisters to come.

The two brothers-in-law and the father-in-law would take turns coming here every two days to deliver things, and Ye Yaodong was only familiar with the men in her family.

When women get together, they always have endless topics to talk about. Even with the cold wind blowing, they can still chatter non-stop.

Ye Yaodong was even less familiar with several of his brothers-in-law, and had nothing to say. They just chatted casually, and would just keep pulling out cigarettes if they had nothing to do with each other.

My eyes were always on the children, fearing that they would be too excited, get too close to the edge of the boat, or be too naughty and cause an accident.

"You guys, be careful."

"Dad, this boat is rocking so much fun..."

"We are in the middle of the sea..."

Ye Yaodong told the boatmen standing around, "You all should help keep an eye on the younger ones. With so many children, don't let them get close to the side of the boat."

"They're all watching."

"A Dong is considered the big boss now, with so many people working on his hands..."

"Haha, it's not bad. Let's make a living."

"Humble..."

When the small boat was transferred to the big boat, everyone was even more excited. They all felt that it was very strange. As soon as they got on the boat, they walked around excitedly to visit.

Fortunately, there were many adults, and they all watched the children.

After he got on the ship, he immediately climbed up to the wheelhouse. Several daring children also wanted to climb up to have a look, but they were all held back by the adults and were not allowed to climb up or down. They were only allowed to stay on the deck.

Or go and stay in the cabin.

Today's experience was so exciting for them. They were going to the city and taking a boat, which gave them so much expectations and novelty all at once.

However, this was only short-lived. After half an hour of sailing, everyone's excitement was almost gone, and they calmed down a bit, and they could stay on the deck honestly.

After waiting for an hour, most of them gave up and some even became afraid of the vast sea.

For a short period of time, they will be excited. For a long time, facing the boundless sea with no shore in sight, the fishing boat is floating in the middle of the sea like a small boat. Watching the waves rolling against the bow of the boat, this begins to make them feel panicked.

, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear towards the sea.

Ye Yaodong was sailing the boat, but he didn't know that the people below had begun to get scared, and kept asking how long it would take to arrive.

He thought that after the excitement wore off, they would start to get scared, but there were so many people down there, which would be enough to comfort them, so he didn't need to worry about them.

He concentrated on sailing the boat, and the number of people on the deck gradually decreased, and they all hid in the cabin. They did not look directly at the sea, which could reduce some of their fear.

There was no seasickness along the way. After discussing the route yesterday, he called them to inform them to prepare seasick patches or medicine, so they were already prepared.

After they docked in the city and the fishing boat stopped, everyone felt a little dazed.

"arrive?"

"It's finally here..."

When Ye Yaodong came down from the helm, he saw people coming out of the cabin in a hurry. Their faces were pale, and they were not as energetic as when they first boarded the ship.

"Are you okay?"

Ye Chenghu was weak, "It's not good at all, Dad, let's take a car next time."

Lin Xiangyang ran down from the shore, waved at them and shouted: "Coming down."

"Go down, and when you get to the shore, you will be full of life and a dragon again."

Everyone lined up to get off the boat one after another.

When they first got off the boat, some people's center of gravity was unstable and they shook a bit, but luckily there were people holding them.

After walking ashore step by step, standing on the pier, feeling the down-to-earth feeling, watching the lively scene of people coming and going, smiles appeared on everyone's faces again, and they felt energetic again.

"Wow, so lively..."

"So many people, so many big houses?"

"This place is also different from our countryside..."

Lin Xiangyang led them towards the tractor, "Get in the car, it's already very late, the banquet has been set up."

Everyone climbed onto the tractor one after another. Ye Yaodong gave Wang Guangliang and others 5 yuan and asked them to find a place to eat first, and let them arrange the delivery time in the afternoon.

After he finished lunch, he would definitely have to stay until evening and then leave after dinner, which would be a good time to go back together.

The tractor drove all the way to the wholesale market. Everyone except Ye Yaodong stood there and looked around curiously.

Looking at them all the way, their mouths opened so wide that they could stuff eggs, to their mouths filled with all kinds of exclamations and excited voices, especially the children who were the loudest.

What they saw and heard today was an experience they had never had before.

It was the first time I saw more people than at the market, the first time I saw a place countless times larger than a village, and the first time I saw so many cars.

The nervous emotions generated by the boat ride were gone and replaced by excitement again.

When the tractor arrived at the wholesale market, Ye Chenghu's voice was the loudest, "It's right here. I've been here before. It's right here."

"My uncle has moved to the city. He has become a city dweller. When can our family move to the city?" Lin Xiangyang's youngest son couldn't see enough and murmured to his mother.

Sister-in-law Lin smiled and said, "We'll have to wait until your father makes a lot of money."

"Bless dad to make a lot of money every day."

The tractor stopped at the door of a new house, and everyone knew where it was.

Father Lin and Lin Xianghui had been waiting at the door for a long time, and now they came directly to greet them with smiles on their faces.

"You're so hungry, it's time for dinner."

"Is this right here? It's so close to the market, right across the street."

“The newly built building is so beautiful and has a yard.”

"The building is really nice. It's prettier than our little house."

"Let's go in. There are a few tables set up in the yard, and there's no one else there. It's just our family, the cadres of the village, and our neighbors. You can sit wherever you want."

Everyone walked in while chatting lively.

Father Lin walked up to Ye Yaodong and said, "This trip is troublesome for you. You have to bring so many people here at once. You have to pick them up early in the morning and send them over by boat..."

"Dad, you are out of touch when you say this. You and eldest brother have helped me with many things. I am just picking up a relative of ours. Is this any trouble?"

"Haha, nothing happened on the road? There are so many people and there are so many children."

"It's nothing. There are many adults, so we can all watch."

"That's good, let's sit down and eat first."

The atmosphere in the courtyard was intense, and two tables were already filled. Father Lin not only invited his relatives, but also the village cadres, the landlord who rented the house before, and his neighbors.

Ye Yaodong basically recognized everyone and greeted everyone with a smile before he took his seat. The children were already running around the room.

Lin Xiuqing and the other women took advantage of the opportunity to visit the house and gave all the red envelopes to Mrs. Lin, before taking the child out and sitting down.

They delayed for a long time. It was already 12 o'clock when they arrived. As soon as they took their seats, they set off firecrackers to start the party.

"Xiang Hui is also promising. I didn't expect that after coming to the city to work hard for a year, he built such a big house."

"Isn't that right? Now they bring Xiangyang to the city again. They take them one by one, and they get up as a family."

"It has to be the son-in-law. It's said that the son-in-law started to take care of him..."

Everyone was complimenting Lin Xianghui and Ye Yaodong non-stop, and the atmosphere was particularly intense.

Everyone is very happy. Some people have never gone far in their lives. At most they have gone to their own town. Now they can come to the city for free to have a banquet. They are very excited and keep saying good things.

come out.

The children running and jumping during the banquet also added to the atmosphere a lot, making everyone look very happy.

The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly.

After the banquet, adults and children were a little overwhelmed. It was a rare visit to the city and they definitely had to visit everywhere.

Lin Xianghui also made arrangements. He took everyone to visit the market and asked Lin Xiangyang to drive a tractor and pull everyone to the busiest street in the city.

Ye Yaodong was very familiar with the city and had no interest in it. However, his three children definitely had to go shopping in the city. Lin Xiuqing couldn't bear to see three of them by herself, so he could only accompany them.
