Chapter 1065 Matchmaking (ah, crash, my saved manuscript is gone)
The conversation was lively outside the house, and there was also chatter inside the house. Basically, Ye Xiaoxi was chirping and accusing Pei Yu.
"Bad sister~Bad sister~I won't play with you anymore, I won't sleep with you anymore~I hate you~"
Pei Yu opened her big clear eyes, sat on the edge of the bed and swung her legs, watching her curse with tears in her eyes, her face innocent.
Seeing her just looking at her like this, Ye Xiaoxi didn't say anything. She started to cry while cursing herself, "Wow~Bad sister~ah~I'm afraid~Snake~Snake~Bad sister~"
Lin Xiuqing got them clothes first, turned around and couldn't help laughing, and then looked at Sister Aguang with a smile.
"Xiaoyu's body is still clean, but her trousers are wet and dirty. You take off her trousers first, and I'll fill up the hot water. Xiaojiu's sleeves and trousers are all muddy, so I need to wipe her body."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll watch them here while you go get hot water." She also laughed while looking at Ye Xiaoxi who was crying and scolding at the same time. She was so happy.
"Bad sister~don't play with you~"
Pei Yu tilted his head and looked at her crying, and said in a sweet voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you can eat..."
"No, it's so scary..."
"It's delicious~"
"I hate you~"
The two of them were communicating in sweet voices, and the other voice was also crying, which sounds as cute as it sounds.
When Lin Xiuqing was changing clothes for them, she suddenly heard shouting outside, "Yingqiu~Yingqiu~"
After Sister Aguang responded, she said to Lin Xiuqing: "My father called me to go out and take a look."
"Go ahead."
After Lin Xiuqing changed the clothes of the two children, she asked them to stay on the bed and not get down. She took the water out first and poured it out. As soon as she took the water out, she saw Pei Yingqiu running back into the house with a red face, and almost bumped into her. Water spilled.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law..."
"what happened?"
Everyone at the dinner table was laughing.
Mother Ye stood aside and said with a smile: "Just now the village chief asked Captain Chen how old he was and whether he was married. His comrades all yelled and said no. Yingqiu happened to be here with us, so he thought of her. The in-laws heard everyone talking there , so I called her out."
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and looked at Captain Chen who had an embarrassed face. He looked dark and mature, but he didn't expect that he was not married yet.
"This is a good thing."
The village chief and others at the dinner table were also making noises and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite connected to our village. Why don't you marry a wife from our village and go back? Are you from this city too?"
"Our captain is from the provincial capital..."
"oh……"
As soon as they heard about the provincial capital, everyone suddenly became less enthusiastic. The provincial capital city was beyond the reach of the country people in their small area, not to mention that it was far away.
Father Pei didn't think so, "The provincial capital is great. It's a big place. It's prosperous and lively. I often dock in the provincial capital when I sail and trawl, and I can see the excitement in the city."
"I am also from the countryside, not from the city. Please stop joking. The girl is thin-skinned, not to mention that we have regulations not to get married in the station."
"This is not your station. You are not sent here to station. You are just here to support local construction. After building the lighthouse, you will return to the city. Aguang is her eldest brother, and he is still in the city. His family There are also two stores buying from the wholesale market in the city." Ye Yaodong retorted with a smile and added about the Pei family's situation.
Soldiers are very reliable these days. People's soldiers serve the people wholeheartedly and have a strong sense of responsibility. In addition, they have been working as soldiers for so many years. When the time comes to change careers, they will definitely be good. They are much better than those in the countryside. .
Think about how popular they will be. In the future, they will be engaged in politics. They are better than these country dirt-legged people, and they are all relatives.
When Lin Guangyuan graduates from junior high school next year, I will ask others for help to see if I can get it in.
How nice that we are all relatives and help each other.
Several other marines also followed suit.
"Yes, yes, captain, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried.
Yes, we are not stationed here. You can marry a wife here, and then take her to the city to settle down in advance. After two years, you can bring your family. "
"It's okay even if you're stationed there. Get married first. When the lighthouse project is completed, the higher-ups will order you to come down and station yourself there. That will happen after you get married. It doesn't count as getting married at the station."
"Yes, yes, it's not against the rules, and you're over 25, already 26..."
Each one of them was more active than Captain Chen himself, and they all excitedly wanted to help him, and they wished they could let him into the bridal chamber right now.
Captain Chen stared at the others in embarrassment, but no one was afraid of the threat at the dinner table.
"Don't make any noise, don't affect this girl's reputation, it's okay to make fun of me, just go back and bear the weight for 20 kilometers."
Father Pei had no idea at first, but the village chief and others started to take action. He now also had a strong interest, and then he kept asking about Captain Chen's family situation.
Now that he had asked the question, he was too embarrassed not to answer, so he just forced himself to ask and answer in embarrassment.
For those who didn't give perfect answers, his comrades actively helped him to add information. As long as they knew something, they told him everything they knew, making the atmosphere even more intense.
"Otherwise, if you repair the circuit a little slower, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight?"
"ah?"
"Ha ha ha ha………"
Everyone burst into laughter.
After Lin Xiuqing poured the water, she stood in the main room and listened for a while, with a smile on her face, and then returned to the room.
Pei Yingqiu's cheeks were still red with embarrassment, and she sat on the edge of the bed with her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
The two children on the bed had already reconciled and were doing somersaults there with smiles on their faces.
"What are you thinking about?"
Pei Yingqiu raised her head awkwardly, "It's nothing..."
"Haha, Captain Chen stayed in our hometown for a month before. My parents-in-law said that he was very nice. When he completed the mission two years ago and left, he even gave my nephew a set of sea soul shirts. My nephew is still here They all regard it as a treasure, and Captain Chen often writes letters."
"We also supply dried fish to the troops, and Captain Chen was the one who took the lead at that time. Apart from anything else, Captain Chen is a really good character, but I don't know if he has this fate."
Pei Yingqiu lowered his head and said nothing. Lin Xiuqing was embarrassed to say more and stopped after a few words.
After all, this is not her sister, but her sister-in-law's sister-in-law. It's not her turn to say anything or worry about her. Anyway, she has a stepmother now, and she doesn't need her mother-in-law to help worry about her.
Who knows if Captain Chen will leave. If he gets married and leaves again, it will be even worse.
So she guessed that this was probably the reason why troops couldn't get married on site, right? They were afraid that after soldiers were transferred from their bases, they would abandon their wives and children and become criminals if they left the country.
There was a lot of excitement outside, and Pei Yingqiu didn't dare to go out for a while to avoid being teased again, so he had to stay in the room with Lin Xiuqing to play with the two children.
Fortunately, there were still two children here, so it was not awkward. The two of them put aside the topic they just talked about, and they were quite happy talking. By the way, they also talked about Aunt Ma.
Pei Yingqiu said that Aunt Ma was very polite to them, but since they were all grown up, they didn't need to bother others with anything. They washed their own clothes. At most, when Aunt Ma was cooking, they could help with basic housework. Aunt Ma also took care of everything.
When Father Pei is not at home, Aunt Ma spends most of her time living next door with her children. She only lets him call if there is anything, and they all eat together.
Lin Xiuqing nodded. After all, the two girls of the Pei family were going to get married, so just be polite. The one who really got along for a long time was with Aguang Huimei, but they are both not at home now.
But when he is brought back after giving birth, he will probably have to ask Aunt Ma to help take care of the confinement child. Fortunately, they are from the same village. Mother Ye will definitely come to the house every day and help take care of him.
After the excitement outside the house came to an end and the sounds gradually faded away, the two of them came out of the house.
Pei Yingqiu did not leave immediately, but followed
A mess that filled the table.
But Mother Ye was extremely polite and refused to let her do it, and only asked her to accompany her child.
"Wherever I can let my sister-in-law do it, we can just clean up the table ourselves. You go and see these two little ones, and we'll clean up here."
The old lady also pulled her politely, not letting her get her hands on them, so she had to go back to the house and look at the two children.
Lin Xiuqing also followed Ye Mu in a low voice and asked, "What did you say after that?"
"Everyone started talking about it as a joke, and after a while of coaxing, they stopped talking about it. It all depends on what the person wants, and what the in-laws are going to do. After all, they are soldiers who are away from home all year round."
"oh oh."
"Don't worry blindly. My own father will worry about it. Let's just listen to the fun."
"Then mother, don't go out and say it. Once you go out and tell others, it's time to spread it randomly. This kind of tidbits will change after being spread around. It will probably be outrageous in the future."
"I know, I know, I don't say everything out loud."
"I'm here to clean up. It's not raining outside anymore. Mom also went out to help promote the kelp collection. After I finish working here, I can go to the workshop later. A Dong went out with them and waited for it to be delivered to the power supply box Over there, watching them busy, they will probably be back soon."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you to take care of it. I'll go out for a walk." Mother Ye wiped her hands and got down to business.
Lin Xiuqing had to collect kelp in the afternoon and had to do some serious work, so she couldn't take her two children with her. The ground outside was wet, so the two of them didn't pay close attention, so they probably just played all over again.
So after cleaning up, she followed Pei Yingqiu, each holding one child in his arms, and sent the children to Pei's house.
Ye's mother was also very efficient. When she was walking to the village after sending her children off, there were a bunch of women pulling her to ask questions.
"Ah Qing, does your family really collect kelp?"
"I heard from your mother that you are going to take away all the kelp that everyone dried out some time ago. Is that true?"
"I've heard about it too. When my sister-in-law next door told me about it just now, I thought it was just a rumor, but you've all heard about it? Is it true?"
After a person pulled her, a group of sharp-eyed people surrounded her soon.
It had just rained and it was wet outside, and no one wanted to go out for a walk. However, everyone spread the word that their family wanted to collect kelp, and enthusiastic relatives or neighbors went to other houses to inform them.
Therefore, now all the women in the village have cheered up and hurriedly ran out to inquire about their neighbors.
Now that I have met the rightful owner, how can I let him go?
"Is it true? I heard that it was her mother who came out and said how much was needed? I just finished packing the kelp at home, and they are all here, and I am about to send it over."
"I've picked them all up too. Fortunately, I picked up a lot, which weighs more than ten kilograms. I heard it costs 6 cents per kilogram. It can be sold here for eighty or ninety cents, which is enough for a month's seasoning expenses."
"Six cents? That's fine. They're all picked up anyway."
Lin Xiuqing watched a bunch of people talking around her, and some people were running towards her.
She quickly confirmed, "Yes, yes, A Dong thought that everyone picked up a lot of kelp some time ago, so he wanted to try to see if the kelp is easy to sell, and it can also add some income to everyone, so that if everyone encounters it next year, You can pick up more."
"Okay, okay, this is good..."
"This is good. There is no charge for the things in the sea. Everyone will pick up more next year. Today, the little ones didn't even think about picking them up. It was a waste."
"Then I'll go home and get it now..."
Lin Xiuqing said loudly again, "Don't worry, it will take two or three days to collect it. If you have relatives who have picked up a lot of kelp at home, you can send it over. Send it to my workshop, not to my house." door."
"Okay, let's get it to the workshop, right?"
The enthusiastic women shouted loudly at the people who had run away, asking them to be sent to the workshop.
The person who already had it in his hand walked beside her and followed her all the way to the workshop to be weighed.
There weren't many people around, so she asked them to wait while she went home to get the money. She weighed the money and paid them as much as they wanted. There was no need to keep accounts when the payment was made, so as to save trouble.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading. She happened to have a lot of jars of change at home, and it was just right to pour some of it out to settle the little bits and pieces.
Basically, every household brings more than five or six kilograms, more than ten kilograms, and no matter how much it is, it is gone. After all, everyone just picks up some appropriately and stores them there, and eats them occasionally. Anyway, there are them on the sea every year, just to watch. Will luck float to the beach.
If they had known that it would be sold for money, everyone would have gone crazy at that time.
After she collected a bunch of change and took it to the workshop, twenty or thirty women were already waiting there, and there were people coming in one after another holding kelp at the door.
Ye Yaodong is already in the workshop and is reassuring everyone, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Anyway, you need as much as you want. Take your time one by one. Once Ah Qing comes over with the money, we will weigh it."
"I'm here, let's start weighing. You weigh, and I'll pay you."
"Okay, let's start weighing."
After Ye Yaodong shouted, he looked at everyone squeezing forward and continued: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, line up, and if you are sold out, if you have relatives who still have some, please go back." You can bring it over."
After the nonsense was over, Ye Yaodong used the newly bought scale to weigh the weight. He also took a wooden scale and asked other boys to weigh the weight at the same time, doing both sides together.
After weighing Ah Qing immediately gave him money.
The first few people who got the money did not leave. They all stood around and chatted with smiles on their faces. The other newcomers were relieved after seeing that they could indeed sell money.
Everyone was talking a lot there, discussing how many kilograms they had picked up and how much they could sell for.
Some patted their thighs and regretted not picking up more, and some also regretted giving some of them to relatives and friends, and their intestines were full of regret.
In the homes of villagers who don’t have much income or stable jobs, a little bit of money is just money, and mosquito legs, no matter how small they are, are just meat.
The work of collecting kelp is going on in an orderly manner, and there are more and more people in the workshop. People keep coming in, and those who have sold out do not leave. There are also some who come to see the excitement. It seems to be densely packed with people, and there is noise everywhere. , not to mention the vegetable market.
After Ye Yaodong weighed for a while, he handed over the work to another younger brother and stood by himself.
Azheng Xiaoxiao had already run over to watch the fun, but he didn't get close to him because he was busy there. He saw it and walked towards them.
"Why are you here?"
"Come here to watch you struggle and see how much money you are going to make. Is it useful to charge so much?"
"Let's give it a try and make a living."
"Would you like to go to the shipyard this afternoon? The rain has stopped."
"now?"
Ye Yaodong saw that everyone was queuing up there, so there would be no problem, not to mention that it was only one or two hundred, two or three hundred yuan, and in their village, there would be no more.
By the time word spread to other villages, if anyone came again, it would be after mid-afternoon, and the number of people would probably be even smaller. It would be the same with or without him.
"Okay, leave the goods here to others, and I'll go to the shipyard with you to have a look, and I'll explain it to my wife."
Lin Xiuqing was too busy to pay attention to him, so she just nodded, as long as someone helped weigh her.
Ye Yaodong asked them all to go back and ride their bicycles. He also went home to ride his bicycle, put on his hat, and met at the entrance of the village later.
When he passed the power supply box, there were not many people around there.
After a meal, everyone had other gossips and gathered in his workshop. Only his father, Pei's father, and a few village cadres were watching.
Thinking that someone still had to be there to watch, he went over and told his father
Next, he asked his father to go to the workshop to watch. He also said that he would go to the shipyard with his friends.
They stayed there all afternoon, and it was not until dusk that the three of them rode their bicycles back to the village.
The work of collecting kelp in the workshop has come to an end for the time being. When he came back, his father, mother and Ah Qing were sorting out sacks of kelp and loading them onto the cart.
"Aren't you going to put it in the small warehouse here? Where are you going to take it? Put it at home?"
Some time ago, Lin Jishang asked for another 5,000 kilograms, but he was not at home a few days ago, so Aqing weighed all the goods for him. The unused room at home was suddenly vacated. In the past few days, even the fishy smell in the house was The smell has also faded a bit.
"It just rained. I'm afraid it will get damp if the door here is left open. It will be better at home. After all, the door to the empty room can be closed and the windows can't be opened."
"Oh, how many pounds did you get?"
"As you expected, I collected more than 3,000 kilograms in bits and pieces. Later, people from other villages brought them to sell, but it wasn't much. Let's see if we can collect a little more tomorrow. 10,000 kilograms is not enough. It’s possible, I didn’t tell you in advance, we didn’t stock much, we just dried some and kept them for our own food.”
"It doesn't matter. The rain has stopped. Let's see if anyone goes out to sea tomorrow. If there are people going out to sea, I will probably go to the nearby islands to search. If it clears up, I can still find some goods in two or three days."
"Let's see then."
Father Ye interrupted and asked, "How did you go to the shipyard to ask?"
"The price has increased. I was told that something like the Dongsheng number costs 16,000, while something like the Harvest number costs 18,000, which is 3,000 yuan more expensive. The key is that it can't be made yet, and it won't be made by the end of next year. After two days, If Tianyou goes to the province, he should also inquire about it. I called the city in the morning and asked Aguang to take the time to ask. Anyway, his family has several boats booked in the city, so it is just right for him to ask. "
"Is it so expensive?"
"Yeah, I don't know why, but it's so much more expensive. He just told me that the materials have increased and the workers' wages have increased. The key is that he directly told me that he couldn't make it, and he stopped taking orders after two years. That's it. I don’t know if I took advantage of him and didn’t want to book it for me so early until the year after next.”
"Then you can only ask elsewhere."
"Um."
Mother Ye said from the side: "Then you can worry about it later. This is both kelp and fishing boat. There are so many boats at home."
"Don't worry about it when it's settled, worry about it when it's not settled."
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's push this car home first."
Ye Yaodong waved directly to the two younger brothers and asked them to push them back to unload the goods, while he continued to stand with Ye's father and talk.
"Has the circuit been repaired? When I came back just now, I didn't see anyone at the power supply box."
"I don't know. I've been watching here all afternoon. I have to ask your mother..."
"It's fixed. I'll see the village chief and secretary return to the village committee at two or three o'clock. Those navy guys are probably back in town." After Ye Mu finished speaking, she walked towards the bicycle in the corner.
"That's pretty quick. It only takes half a day."
"How do you ride this car? It's covered in mud. It's so scary. I don't know, I thought it was fished out of the mud."
"It has just rained and the roads are all mud. Isn't it normal to ride like this? Look at my trousers flying everywhere."
"Your bicycle will be useless after you ride it for two years at most. Others can ride it for 30 years, but you can ride it for three years at most."
"No, it can still be used after washing. You can push it back and wash it."
Mother Ye felt really sorry for him for ruining things, so after scolding him for a few words, she really pushed him back to wash him.
Father Ye and him were the only ones left in the workshop.
"During lunch, why didn't you just say donate two boats?"
"Don't be in a hurry. They still have to have a meeting to discuss it anyway. There is no need for me to rush up in such a hurry. When they are sure, they will naturally come back to me."
Knowing that it can be sold for money can bring an income to the whole village and improve the quality of the whole village.
No matter what the standard of living is, they will give it a try.
After all, the initial effort is not very large and does not require the efforts of the whole village, but it may benefit the whole village.
Use small things to make big things happen.
He estimated that within three days at most, the village committee would come to him to discuss this matter.
When the time comes, when they are in trouble for funding, he will go along with the trend and donate two boats, which will make him more aware, sincere, and caring about the whole village.
With his investment in the beginning, it would be logical for him to receive the harvest later.
"As long as you have an idea. When you went to the shipyard in the afternoon, did you ask about your remaining six boats?"
"Asked, I will pay one more in half a month, and then the rest will have to wait until the end of the year, or early next year. Maybe I will pay two more at once, and the last two will have to wait until the middle of next year."
"That's good. When you get back, park it at the pier temporarily instead of renting it. If we go to Zhejiang Province next month, the Dongsheng will be specially used to haul ten small wooden boats, and the new boat will be used to carry two More than a dozen people."
"right."
"When you call A Guang two days later, you have to talk to him, remind him, and ask him to call the jellyfish factory and ask, and keep in touch more, and be more diligent when the end of the month, every three to five Call and ask."
"Um."
"It's not going to be easy this year."
"It doesn't matter, next year it will be even more difficult."
Father Ye had nothing to say and could only ask when he would go to sea after the rain stopped.
"Listen to the weather forecast tonight, check the weather, and then discuss it with Uncle Pei."
However, the reality was beyond expectation. Without waiting for the weather forecast at 7:30 p.m., it started to rain heavily after dark.
The lightbulb above the head flickers brightly and dimly, like fireflies.
The whole family was sitting there watching the news broadcast, with their mouths wide open, either watching the flickering lights above their heads, or watching the crackling sound coming from the TV.
"Wow~"
The old lady shouted anxiously, "Ouch, oh, oh, oh, oh, please turn off the TV and unplug it. There is no signal, and there is another power outage. Don't burn it..."
As soon as she stood up, the light dimmed with a bang.
"There's another power outage!"
Lin Xiuqing also said at the same time: "You all sit where you are and don't move. I'll light the candles."
Ye Yaodong also said depressedly: "There's another power outage."
Ye Chenghu said happily: "It's raining heavily."
"Why are you so happy?"
"Brother said there is no need to go to school if it rains heavily."
"It's a nice thought. The rain will stop tomorrow morning, just like today."
Ye Chenghu did not dare to say anything for fear of being beaten.
Lin Xiuqing lit the candles and asked, "Will Captain Chen and the others come in to repair the circuit again tomorrow?"
"Who knows, maybe I was scared away by everyone's suggestions during the day and didn't dare to ask to come in again."
"What if it comes again?"
"I can't explain anything again. I can only say that it's familiar again."
The old lady smiled and said, "Those who served as soldiers during the day were all very good. If one of them doesn't want to, can we ask the others if they are willing?"
"You can't be so hasty. You have to inquire about people's family background."
"I think Uncle Pei is also very excited this afternoon."
"Don't say that he is moved, I am also moved. It's a pity that the cabbage at home has been taken over by pigs. Mad, if it were two years later, what would happen to Aguang?"
"Whatever you say, Emi is already married, so you can't talk nonsense."
"I'm just going to talk casually and complain, no more."
