He pulled the quilt and covered them, then went downstairs and returned to the room to continue sleeping.

She always says that her son is not important, and she despises her son, always hurting them and punishing them, but in her heart she still loves her two children very much.

It felt even colder the next day. The cold wind blew into my neck, making me shiver.

Ye Yaodong put his hands into his sleeves and went back to the house to tie his scarf before going to the workshop.

The old ladies came over again early in the morning to kill fish and filter the fish sauce.

The workshop is open-air and does not block the wind, so recently the aunts have not asked the aunts to kill fish overnight to avoid freezing people. Anyway, fresh sea fish can be left overnight and killed early the next morning.

Even so, he looked at those people's frozen cheeks and red noses.

On a cold day, even if the sun comes out in the morning, the sunlight is still very weak, not as good as at noon, when the sea breeze is blowing, it is still quite cold without shelter.

Unfortunately, that small room was also filled with dried fish, and there was only enough room for a bed for the boys on shift to sleep. Otherwise, they could move the fish into the room and kill them.

He thought that if the fish sauce sales were okay in the past two months and the outer wall was completed, he would let the workers continue to build a row of warehouses and butchering workshops along the edge of the wall.

Since it needs to be renovated, let’s do it together, so as not to stop like last year after building the workshop. Not long after, we asked people to come over and build a hut for the old lady, and then a few months later, another hut was built.

After the building was completed, a workshop was built.

Always doing it bit by bit seems very piecemeal and troublesome.

If the workshop and warehouse are built together, it can be considered once and for all, and there will be no need to change it for several years.

Anyway, the money for the house has been shared. A few nights ago, we settled the accounts and shared about a thousand yuan per person, which is not expensive. The artificial materials in the workshop were calculated from scratch, including bricks and sand, the leftover materials for building the house here.

, they were all packaged and sold to him for a cheap price.

"Thank you for your hard work, auntie. Come over early in the morning to kill the fish."

"What's the hard work? What's so hard about making money? How many people want to find work but can't find it yet? What's the hard work for us?"

"Yes, if you want to make money, you have to do whatever it takes, no matter how hard it is. Doesn't it work the same way at home? You don't have much money when you work at home, but you have money when you work here, haha."

"Fortunately, the sun is out now and it's not that cold. It's much better than killing fish at night."

The old aunties laughed and answered while killing the fish.

"It's cold out here. Go back to the house quickly and we'll make things right for you."

"It's okay, I'll come over and take a look."

Yesterday Ah Cai sent over 3,000 jins, and he asked for 5,000 jins to be delivered this evening. He estimated that he would have to find two more people tomorrow, otherwise he might not be able to kill them all.

After all, you have to kill and pickle them, pickle them and dry them, all of which require manpower.

The women in the rows of wooden barrels in the corner against the wall were also very busy. His mother was also watching over there. As soon as a tank was filtered out, the twins sealed it and moved it to the corner.

They also just came over to take over. There were many people during the day, so they didn’t need to look at the venue. They just went to help wherever needed.

There are already eight or nine full bottles in the corner. The filtered fish sauce must be stored in a cool place. Fortunately, the weather is cold now and the sun is not strong.

"Dongzi, if you filter it again today, it will be enough for one car. You can send one car to the city tomorrow. This big tank will easily break if it is bumped and bumped on the road. You will need to get some straw to stuff it and cushion it tomorrow."

"That's what I think too. I'll ask Ah Qing to search for it later."

"Well, this kind of big tank just doesn't have the convenience of a wooden barrel. Without a cushion, the road will be bumpy and bumpy, and all the work will be in vain."

"It's time for you to go to work."

Mother Ye looked at the electronic watch on her wrist and said, "It's still early, I'm fine, I'm very free. The recent quarrel at your friend Mouse's house has almost ended, so I'm quite peaceful."

"Leaved?"

"No, it's so easy to leave. I still have two children at home, so I can just make do with it. Where can I find it so easy to leave?"

"With all the fuss these two months and three days, I thought we would divorce."

The woman next to him spoke up, "We just talked before. His wife was sent back by her parents' family not even a week after living in her parents' home. How dare she leave? If she divorces, will she be homeless?"

"Oh, they all encourage reconciliation but not divorce. How many divorces are there these days? It doesn't cost money to find another one? Just make do, one person takes a step back, and life will go on."

"I heard that Mouse had something in his wife's hands. He wanted to kick him out two days ago, but his wife threatened him, and then he stopped. It's rare that he has been peaceful these two days."

"What's the threat? Is this something shameful and shameful?"

"Who knows, if you have done something wrong and have a secret in your heart, how can you hide it from the person next to you? Anyway, neither of you were in a good relationship before getting married, so you can just make do with it. It's been so many years."

"Anyway, there's so much excitement lately. It's almost more lively than the Chinese New Year. Your relative, the Asheng family, is also singing a big show every day. Madam Wang Lizhen comes to the house every day and wants to give her daughter to him. It annoys their family to death.

Already."

…

The women all have endless topics to talk about. If you pick up a topic at random, they will gossip and gossip until they get off work.

The same goes for the group that had just killed the fish. When he didn't say hello, they all kept their heads down and gossiped, not delaying their work at all.

Ye Yaodong was a little curious, what other leverage could the rat have? It was so easy to take advantage of it and captured it without any effort.

But, it’s normal. It’s hard to get divorced these days, and there are more widows than divorcees.

It's done, the days are over, just don't bother him anyway, do as you like.

He walked around for a while, watching the women on both sides working in an orderly manner, then went to the side where they were building walls, and chatted with the foreman about the construction period. It was almost Chinese New Year when the ground was leveled.

Ye Yaodong felt that this date was similar. They would finish building the wall and leveling the ground before the New Year, and then rest for the New Year. After the fifteenth day of the new year, they would consider asking them to start building workshops and warehouses.

After knowing it in his mind, he put his hands into each other's sleeves and prepared to go back to avoid the wind outside. When he turned around, he saw that the cherry seedlings were growing well on the small soil slope next to him.

After thinking about it, he went back and picked up two buckets of water to water it with.

After he moved here a few months ago, he stopped taking care of it and gave all the responsibility to his children.

They are also very diligent. They were very attentive to the planting in the first month. They watered it before going to school every day, and watered it again as soon as they came back from school.

It was after Ah Qing told them not to water every morning and evening that they stopped. However, several saplings still died. They were so distressed that they had to come here eight hundred times a day.

It wasn't until the next month that the novelty subsided, but I still thought about coming over to water it every three days.

It's quite good, there is one thing for them to do.

After waiting two or three years, if the results come out, they will feel even more accomplished.

A few months have passed until now, and several trees have died. Fortunately, the survival rate is greater than 50%. They are now about one meter tall. They will probably not grow rapidly until spring next year.

Three bamboo saplings were planted around each sapling, and they are still inserted there to help stabilize their bodies. Now that the cold wind is blowing, although they are swaying from side to side, the small tree trunks still do not bend.

Ye Yaodong inserted some loose bamboo pieces deeper and tied them up again, then clapped his hands and went back with the pole and the empty bucket.

"Why are you suddenly so diligent and watering the cherry seedlings?"

“I happened to go there for a walk and saw that the soil was dry, so I picked up two buckets of water and watered it. It looked like it was growing quite well, and I hope to be able to eat the cherries my children planted in the next two years.

"

"When I bought the land, I should have bought the land slope as well..."

"What to buy? It's wasteland that no one wants. If I plant something, it's mine. Why should I spend money? Isn't it all like this? Isn't the surrounding barren hills and slopes like this? Who opened up wasteland for planting?

If he has been cultivating these things for a long time, the small piece of land will naturally belong to him, not to mention that we don’t occupy a large piece of land, it’s just such a small piece of land, only about a hundred square meters.”

"Okay, today's big tank hasn't been delivered yet?"

"No, maybe it's not that early. Anyway, the ones delivered today and yesterday are enough. I will deliver it to the city tomorrow, and I will bring back a cart of straw later to cushion the collision..."

"Is Dongzi at home?"

The couple were talking in the house, but they heard shouting again from outside.

"Someone is looking for you again."

"I'll go take a look."

Generally, when people come to make connections and find jobs, they call Ah Qing. It is quite rare to call him, after all, he is not often at home.

"Brother A Sheng? Have you eaten?"

"After eating, is Third Aunt here with you?"

"You are looking for my mother. I thought you were looking for me. She is over there in the workshop watching the fish sauce filter."

Ye Yaosheng rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said hesitantly: "Can you help call her over?"

Lin Xiuqing said quickly: "I'll call you."

"Why are you looking for my mother?" Ye Yaodong asked.

"Uh... well... haha... I'll ask her to help me find out about a wife..." He said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Why do you want my mother to find a wife for you? Why don't you just ask your mother to find out for you?"

He frowned and said with confusion on his face, "My mother is so unreliable. She keeps messing around every time. The third aunt seems to be more reliable, and she is more familiar with the situation in the nearby villages. I just want her to do it."

I just need to find someone who can live with me, and there are no other requirements."

Indeed, his mother is more reliable than her two aunts.

At least his two sisters-in-law are both good at getting along. They live close together and there will inevitably be some friction. They need to be more careful, but in general they are not bad and they can live peacefully.

Unlike the second aunt, she either messes around or sees the sky.
