"After dinner, call all the kids next door to come over and help pick out the shrimps. There are still hundreds of kilograms of shrimps there. Don't just play around, finish the work first."

Ye Chenghu screamed, "Don't put it away..."

Ye Yaodong ignored him, "Well, I will confiscate their football and basketball later."

Recently, a few of them have really been playing too crazy. As long as they run out, they won't be able to come back even if they are called. After being beaten, they will still limp out and run out.

"We spoil them all day long. Whose child doesn't help with the work and just plays all day long? Even the children of the whole village have grown up in front of our house."

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang both wanted to cry. They had just bought it and they were still in high spirits. It would be confiscated so soon.

Ye Chengyang bit his chopsticks and looked at it eagerly, "Dad, can we play after we pick out the shrimps and finish our work?"

"Well, I'll let you play after I finish my work."

"Then I'll call all my friends over later to help pick them out. It will definitely be done soon." Ye Chenghu raised his neck and said proudly.

"Okay, I will go to the workshop later, move the bamboo bed to the door, and pour the crushed dried shrimps onto the bamboo bed. You can sit in two rows and pick slowly."

Mother Ye added, "Be careful and don't let anyone eat it secretly. This is all to be sold for money."

"Hmm, if anyone dares to steal it, we will beat him to death! He will never be allowed to play football in our house again."

Ye Chenghu clenched his fists and started to make gestures.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and give me something to eat."

Recently, the children in the village have formed the habit of running to the door of their families as soon as they finish eating, and then starting to call the names of the boys and girls of the Ye family at the door.

After hearing the shouts from the friends at the door, no one could calm down to eat, and they all started to eat quickly.

But what everyone expected today was that as soon as Ye Chenghai went out with the football, he was detained by Ye Yaodong.

Ye Chenghu also ran to the edge, put his hands on his hips and yelled: "My father said that you are not allowed to play ball at night. You have to help with the work. When the work is done, you can play ball again."

Not long after, there was a pile of crushed dried shrimps piled on the bamboo bed at the door, and several large bowls were placed on top. Children were sitting on both sides, and they were all picking carefully.

I worked hard at my own home and worked for other people's homes, but I got more energetic. I have never been so positive.

Ye Chenghu returned the pretentiousness by crossing his hands behind his back and walking around in circles, shouting in a decent manner: "No one is allowed to steal food. If you steal food, don't come to my house to play ball in the future."

If I come, I will drive you all out!"

Others who didn't get a job could only play and wait.

Ye Yaopeng did have a bamboo bed at home. After seeing the situation at the door, he moved it out and let them borrow it.

Now, both sides of the two beds were filled with children.

After Ye Yaodong poured a large amount of dried shrimps on top, he also moved a rocking chair and lay down beside it, leisurely.

Suddenly there was a large group of child laborers, and it was still voluntary, which was good.

The entrance is so lively, and of course there are adults who come over after dinner to watch the lively chat.

"Your family is really good. It has bought over all the children in the village."

"I have never seen them so diligent when working for my own family...but they are very serious when working for other people's families..."

Ye Chenghai said happily: "They all rushed to do it on their own. I didn't ask them to do it. I couldn't do it even if I wanted to, and I couldn't even squeeze in."

Ye Chenghu also echoed, "Because they want to help finish it early so that they can play ball."

"I'm also going to get a bamboo disc to help. I'll be free when I'm free..."

"Are there any discs left?"

After a while, the open space was filled with men and women chatting idlely. They all sat together in two or three, sharing a flat bamboo disk and picking it up together.

People in the countryside are indispensable for this kind of bamboo weaving tools, which are very convenient for drying things.

People who live in harmony with their neighbors usually do whatever work they can do if they can help.

"These are the first batch to be dried. They haven't been peeled yet. How many kilograms can be peeled off after peeling them all off?"

"A few hundred kilograms, right? It seemed like a thousand kilograms were sent back before. The second time, more were sent back. The ones being dried in the workshop over there looked full."

"You have to peel it out and weigh it to find out. There is still more than half of it left. It will probably take another day." Lin Xiuqing said, sitting next to Ye Yaodong's chair.

"I heard that your own eldest brother and sister-in-law rented the shop of the eldest brother and sister-in-law here. How is the business? I heard that the annual rent is more than 500. Can you make it back?"

"It's okay. There were a lot of people calling me on the first day to say business was going well. I've been so busy in the past few days that I haven't had time to call, and I don't know. The phone bill is always expensive."

"It's quite expensive. It doesn't matter who spends the whole day talking on the phone."

"It's good to rent it out. You can earn hundreds of dollars a year. In a few years, the rent alone will be enough to recoup the cost. It's quite a bargain for you to buy it."

This finally came to Sister-in-law Ye's mind, and she was very happy, "Yes, it's good if you can rent it out, and you can make money slowly, so it's considered the right purchase."

Sister-in-law Ye was a little frustrated, "I don't know when our store can be rented out, it's not too far away..."

Brother Ye stopped her and continued, "Why worry? The market is so busy now. If you put it there, people will rent it."

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing remained silent. It was their eldest brother who liked it, not what they said.

The adults said it was lively, and the children's side was also lively. Several boys in their family were like patrols, always milling around the two bamboo beds, and the children on the side were running and jumping.

However, at this time, another uninvited guest came to the door.

Aunt Ye looked at so many people at the door and walked towards Ye Yaodong with a smile on her face.

Lin Xiuqing also frowned with a headache. She had already been here once during the day, but A Dong was not at home, so she came again now.

Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and was concentrating but didn't notice it. It wasn't until she called him that he opened his eyes and turned his head to look.

"what?"

"Didn't I hear that you booked another boat? Come and take a look. Come over in the morning, and A-Qing said you're not at home."

"oh."

"Will you be able to get another big ship by the end of the year?"

"Well, that's what I said."

The underlying meaning is that he doesn't know if there will be any changes.

"Then let's reserve a boatman's position for Brother Afan then? We don't want to worry about the boat. It's okay to reserve a boatman's position in advance, right?"

Ye Yaodong almost stopped entertaining his aunt.

Does she mean to say: I don't care about your boat anymore, so I'm just asking for a job as a boatman. That's nothing to say, right?

"I don't know if I can get my boat by the end of the year. The delivery date was originally written for the middle of next year. Isn't it too early for my aunt to come over and ask Brother Afan for work now?"

The workshop was successfully completed, and Brother Afang had been working conscientiously and received his salary normally. Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt couldn't wait and jumped out again.

"I'm not allowed to tell you in advance? What if you say you've found a good person by then? Then wouldn't we have no chance? It's okay to tell us half a year in advance, right?"

After saying that, Aunt Ye started to play the emotional card again, "Dongzi, you are brothers, but you have the same grandfather. You can't ignore him. You are also cousins. Broken bones are connected with tendons."

, you have to help when it’s time to help..."

Before Ye Yaodong could speak, Sister-in-law Ye was the first to choke.

"My eldest aunt said it well. We are all brothers. The eldest brother's bones are still connected to his tendons. Then why did the eldest cousin think of looking for relatives to attack? Why didn't he think of his brothers being merciful? What a pity, ours

I don’t know when I will be able to repay my hard-earned money.”

Sister-in-law Ye also said in a weird way: "Auntie is so good at planning that she can come over half a year in advance to tell me. Didn't auntie help the two cousins ​​arrange how to repay the money in advance? This needs to be planned in advance, right?"

Second Sister-in-law Ye also said: "We are all relatives, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. When paying back the money, shouldn't we pay it back to our brothers first?"

"Brother Afan has been released first, do we have to bear part of it first? We just happened to buy the boat, and our money is very tight..."

"Adong's wages for the work done in the workshop some time ago should be directly deducted and given to us, so that Brother Afan can pay back little by little in advance..."

This is absolutely amazing!

Aunt Ye suddenly lost her composure.

"This code is the same code, wages are wages, how can we deduct it directly? Ah Fan doesn't owe Ah Dong, and it's Ah Hong who deceived you, what does it have to do with Ah Fan? Besides, it's not of your own free will.

of?"

Sister-in-law Ye's face turned dark instantly, she stood up and walked to her.

"Let me go, auntie actually said this. What do you mean we did it voluntarily? We were deceived and deceived. Is it reasonable for him to start a rat club? Why do you blame us for being deceived voluntarily? He was obviously the one who deceived people first.

Now you still blame us for being deceived?”

"If you weren't greedy, could he deceive you? Why didn't he deceive others? You have your own problems, not to mention what else would happen if everyone else went in? Affan was also taken there in a daze. Rats can deceive money.

It’s none of his business, so why should I ask him to pay it back?”

Sister-in-law Ye was also very angry, "So we deserve to be cheated? I'm so angry. Is it reasonable to defraud people of money? No wonder they can come to our door to be justified. It's our stupidity that hurts your son."

Going to jail, right?”

"Ouch, why are you so shameless? I have to go to Brother Afan's house and ask to see if he thinks the same as auntie?"

"No wonder they come to my door again and again. It turns out that I feel that I am not wrong and deserve to be defrauded of our money."

The two sisters-in-law cheered on Aunt Ye, making her look unhappy, and she didn't dare to blatantly say that they deserved to be fooled because of their stupidity.
