Chapter 560 A Call Came

The next day, it was rare for Ye Yaodong to sleep until dawn because he had to go out to put out sticky nets today. There was no need to go early in the morning to put out sticky nets. He could just sleep until he woke up naturally. Anyway, he would collect them the next day.

He plans to put out 50 sticky nets and ground cages today, but Yanshen Fishing will not put them out yet. It will be too late to collect them the next day, and it will basically be dark every time the sticky nets are put out and put out.

Brother Ah Sheng also told him that he would go to sea to work the day after tomorrow, so that he could free up time.

After having breakfast, Ye Yaodong followed his father and piled 50 pieces of sticky netting on the cart, stacking them high. After one trip and carrying them onto the boat, he came back to pull the bamboo baskets and buckets.

There are so many of these things that the small truck simply cannot carry them all at once.

After sending the person away, Ah Qing began to sit at the door again, basking in the sun and knitting a sweater.

Today was the weekend. Ye Chenghu didn't have to get up early to go to school. He was so happy that he ran to his neighbor's door early in the morning to play marbles. Lin Xiuqing called him several times, but he didn't have time to answer her. He almost made her angry to death. .

"Do you want to wear new clothes? Come back here!"

"Ah? Right now, right now."

This one immediately waited for another five minutes. When Lin Xiuqing couldn't bear it anymore and was about to get the whip, he ran back in a hurry and almost didn't stop the car and hit the door panel.

"What's going on? Mom, it's the weekend. You can do your homework tomorrow... No, I just finished the exam yesterday and there is no homework today..."

Lin Xiuqing saw that his knees and sleeves were covered with dirt, and she became angry. She slapped him hard several times and shook off the mud.

"Who told you to lie down on the ground? Look at your knees and sleeves. If you give me a hole, I will kill you. The cotton-padded jacket I made last year has not even been worn a few times..."

"Ouch~ Be gentle~ Be gentle~ It hurts, mother... Don't you always lie down when playing marbles..."

"It's a waste to give you new clothes. You'd better pick up your brother and sister's tattered clothes and wear them..."

"Then I'm going to play marbles!"

It didn't matter if he just left. Lin Xiuqing was almost pissed to death by this brat.

"Come back! Did I let you go?"

Ye Chenghu was confused, "Didn't you say that there are no new clothes? Can I only wear tattered clothes? What else can I do?"

Lin Xiuqing was heartbroken and gave him a hard look. Then she pulled him forward, took a similarly knitted sweater on the side, and made some gestures on his back.

"I really owed you something in my previous life..."

"Hey, was this sweater knitted for me? It's so beautiful, and it's blue."

"Go, go, go away, nothing will happen to you."

"Let me see. When can it be knitted? I saw that dad has a scarf of this color. Do I have one too?"

Ye Chenghu was reluctant to leave now. He didn't expect that the sweater his mother had been wearing in the past two days was for him.

"If you want to be beautiful, you have to see if the thread is enough."

"Mom, do you have Yangyang? He is smaller and must have more threads. Can you use the threads from his sweater to knit a scarf for me? Anyway, I will give him all the clothes that I can't wear in the future."

"Are you showing mercy? Go, go, don't get in the way here, I'll give you what's due."

"Oh", Ye Chenghu was reluctant to play marbles now, "Then when will the sweater in your hand be knitted?"

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "New Year!"

"When will the New Year be celebrated?"

"There's still another month and a half, just wait!"

Ye Chenghu stretched out his fingers and counted half a day but couldn't count. How many days was in a month and a half? He turned his head and looked to the side, the old lady who was looking at him with a smile.

"Auntai, how long is one and a half months?"

"When you don't have to go to school and have a holiday, and the village starts killing pigs, it will be almost Chinese New Year."

He seemed to understand something, but he still couldn't figure it out.

At this time, the friend next door shouted to him to come over quickly, and he immediately forgot about when to wear new clothes for the New Year.

Lin Xiuqing looked at his fast running back from behind and shook her head, "He's like a monkey, running around all day long."

"Haha, children are like this. If they sit there quietly and don't move, you should wonder if there is something wrong with him or if he is a fool? It is better to run and jump like this."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled.

"You help me go into the house and see if the child is awake. I'll finish the remaining collar..."

"Ye Yaodong's phone number, Ye Yaodong's phone number..."

Before Lin Xiuqing finished speaking, she heard a middle-aged man shouting and shouting on a bicycle outside, and the bicycle's bell also jingled.

She was confused for a moment, and then suddenly thought of A Dong's explanation yesterday. She stood up immediately in surprise, and accidentally poked her forehead with the knitting needle in her hand.

"Hey, be careful, don't be so excited, you almost poked your eyes..."

"it's okay no problem……"

She touched her forehead casually and excitedly put down the sweater she was planning to finish and trotted towards the entrance of the courtyard.

"Uncle, does the village committee have Adong's phone number?"

"Yes, there is a phone call from Ye Yaodong. He said he will call back in ten minutes. You should ask him to go over and wait."

"Hey, okay, he went to sea and is not at home. I will wait."

"Then come up, I'll take you there, it will save you half a day of walking."

"It's okay, it's okay. The road is uneven and there are pits everywhere. It's hard to lead people. I can just walk. Young people have fast legs and feet. It's okay to walk a few steps."

Lin Xiuqing happily followed the bicycle and trotted to the village committee. She didn't expect that what A Dong just explained yesterday would get a call so soon today?

She felt that calling at this time should be from the army!

Otherwise, the couple usually rarely called him, but this year there was an unprecedented call, and it was because his father fell down the mountain.

Many times, his parents would ask someone to take the message, because the phone bill was expensive, and they had to make two calls per dozen.

Because the first one is often not available in person and requires someone to convey it. Important calls are still charged in both directions, so I usually don’t call if there is nothing important.

Lin Xiuqing had hopes in her heart. It would be great if the army called and asked for dried fish, so that A Dong wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and just sell a little bit.

After running to the village committee, she checked the time and only three minutes had passed. If calculated as a round trip, it should be about three or four minutes before the call came in.

She took a breath, walked slowly towards the office, and then waited patiently for the call to come in again.

With the expectation, she felt that time passed very slowly. She kept looking down at her watch frequently. Fortunately, she only waited for three minutes before the phone rang.

Lin Xiuqing did not rush to answer the phone, but waited for her uncle to answer it first, confirming that it was Ye Yaodong, and then handed it to her.

"Hey, I'm Ye Yaodong's wife. A Dong has gone to sea. If you have anything to do, just tell me. I'll tell him when he comes back."

The person on the other side was silent for a while, and then said: "Is she Ye Yaodong's wife?"

Lin Xiuqing heard the other party speaking not very standard Mandarin, and realized at this time that he could not understand the local dialect she spoke. She quickly changed to Mandarin and spoke more politely.

The dialects in each place here are a little different, not to mention, who knows where the person opposite is from? Of course I can't understand her local dialect.

"My name is Zhao Weimin. It doesn't matter if he's not here. Tell him for me and ask him to deliver 1,000 kilograms of dried fish tomorrow morning to the same place as yesterday morning. It will still be the same time."

Zhao Weimin might also be worried that what he said about the troops would cause them trouble. After all, there might be others present when he answered the phone, so he didn't point it out directly.

Anyway, he said his name, and as long as Ye Yaodong's wife tells Ye Yaodong honestly, he will know.

The surprise came too suddenly, but it was within her expectation.

Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, and she nodded happily, but she reacted instantly. She nodded, and the other party couldn't see it at all.

She immediately called into the phone and said: "Okay, thank you very much. I will tell him when he comes back. He should be back in the afternoon, and we will definitely deliver it on time."

"Well, okay, thank you. Your dried fish is very good, not salty and very delicious. Everyone likes it."

"Thank you, I hope everyone likes it."

"goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

After Lin Xiuqing waited for the other party to hang up, she heard a beeping sound in her ears, and then hung up the phone excitedly.

The uncle opposite asked curiously: "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

"Nothing, haha, please calculate the phone bill."

"Is there some happy event? Take a dime!"

"OK."

After Lin Xiuqing paid the phone bill, she rushed home excitedly.

The old lady was looking after the children in the house. She heard the noise outside and went out to take a look. Ah Qing was standing by the stove, panting, pouring tea.

"Why are you running so fast? I just finished running. I can't drink water. I need to get out of breath first."

"Why!"

"You can't sit down either. You have to stand up first to get your breath straight."

Before Lin Xiuqing's butt touched the stool, she immediately stood up straight again.

"I see you are happy. Is there any happy event? Did your mother-in-law call?"

Lin Xiuqing slowed down and calmed down before saying: "It's not my mother's phone number, it's a call from a person named Zhao Weimin looking for A Dong. He asked A Dong to send another 1,000 kilograms of dried fish to the place where he was yesterday tomorrow morning. He said it would be better Same time."

The old lady immediately became happy, "Oh, it was sent to the army at the place yesterday, wasn't it? Adong also delivered dried fish to the army yesterday. Unexpectedly, he just delivered it yesterday, and he immediately asked us to deliver it again today. 1,000 pounds.”

"Yeah, I didn't expect that he called me so soon. It's only been a day, and the other person asked for 1,000 kilograms. Just when I heard that he wanted 1,000 kilograms, I thought it was the army."

"Hush, how can you whisper? Don't be heard."

"Why!"

Lin Xiuqing was overjoyed.

But after a while, her expression began to hesitate again. She looked at the old lady and said, "Tell me, should I help A Dong collect all the dried fish in advance? We only have more than 300 kilograms at home, and there is still a lot to go."

"Uh... let's leave it alone for now. They are going out to set up a net today. They will be back around the afternoon. Let him and his father figure it out then? Anyway, they only set out at two or three o'clock at night, so they can start collecting it in the middle of the afternoon. There's still time, during this period, the villagers have taken advantage of the good weather to get a lot of sunshine. If they heard that they can be sold for money, who wouldn't send it over quickly?"

"Right."

Lin Xiuqing was no longer anxious for a moment.

If she wanted to receive the goods, she would definitely have to pick them. She didn't know how he wanted to receive them, and she didn't know whether the price A Dong received the goods at was the same as what she told her eldest and second brothers yesterday.

She didn't know what his plan was, so she had better not make any decisions on her own. It would be too late to wait until he came back.

There is one more chapter, wait a moment
