Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 171

Second Aunt Ye stopped making nets after she finished speaking, and went directly to the house, then excitedly held a handful of money wrapped in a handkerchief, and trotted to hurry.

Ye Yaodong looked at her running back, looked away, and looked at Lin Xiuqing, who was working hard, and felt that his wife didn't need to be too smart or shrewd, as long as he was neither stupid nor greedy at critical moments.

"Are you tired? Is your back sore after sitting for a long time? Do you want to stand up and walk?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a smile, "How long have you been working, why are you tired? There are still so many."

"There are so many child laborers helping, you get up and walk around when you get tired, and drink water."

"Ah."

Aunt Ye joked beside her, "Ah Dong is getting more and more loving."

"Well, my own wife."

In fact, the best is his sister-in-law, who doesn't offend anyone, gets along well with everyone, can talk to everyone, never gets involved in bad things, and never leaves her behind in good things.

"Dongzi..."

Ye Yaodong turned his head to look, "Is there anything good? I'm so happy."

"You can see this?" Ah Zheng said beamingly.

"Blind people can see it. What's the good thing? Are you here to make your brother rich?"

"Tch~ It's almost as if you made me rich." Ah Zheng rolled his eyes, then squatted beside him, and said excitedly, "Didn't we dig out five pearls yesterday? I went to the town with Xiao Xiao this morning." The jewelry store sold it, guess how much we sold it for?"

Ye Yaodong raised eyebrows, "One or two hundred? Two or three hundred?"

"Fuck, as for guessing so accurately? It doesn't give me any sense of accomplishment."

"Seeing how happy you are, it must be more than a few dozen yuan. You all sold it for one or two hundred?"

"It's two or three hundred. I sold all five small ones for 280. I sold three for 300."

Everyone was surprised now, what a high price!

Ye Yaodong also became interested. Originally, he just asked them to go and ask casually, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable now?
Forgive his ignorance.

"You have three, he has five, the difference is so big?"

"That's what the store said, saying that the value of seawater pearls is determined by their size. Generally, the diameter is 3-5mm, and the gloss is average, and a pearl costs a few cents. If the gloss and color are more attractive, then It’s worth tens of dollars. If it’s bigger, it’s worth more.”

Ah Zheng continued to say happily: "The three I sold were all 8mm in diameter, and the store charged 100 yuan each! The other two smaller ones were worth more than 20 yuan. I thought about it. My wife seemed to like it very much, so I kept it first, Xiaoxiao sold all of them, and didn't keep a single one."

His wife just got married and came home, and she still keeps it in her heart, it's very fresh, she must be thinking about it.

Aunt Ye was dumbfounded when she heard that, "My dear, then Ah Qing, you guys are going to get rich? You have 13 of them, I think they are not small, you can't sell them for thousands of dollars?"

Her words of envy are almost numb, why doesn't their family have such a fortune?

Lin Xiuqing was also very surprised, is it so valuable?In an instant, her heart was very hot.

"The shop owner asked me if I had any? I heard that there are a lot of rich people on Hong Kong Island. If they don't need money, they want good things. Or do you want to sell those few beads of yours?"

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, "Forget it..."

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "It's so valuable and you really keep it for me to wear? Where can I wear it? I hang around the stove all day long, and I wear it for the Kitchen God to see." what?"

Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose, "It's not that we don't need money urgently, the price will definitely be higher in a few years, and there are no women who don't like jewelry..."

"Then just keep two worthless ones."

"Yeah, Dongzi, haven't you always wanted to change to a bigger boat? It just happened to be sold, and you can get a new boat so that you can go farther and earn more money."

"If you think so, don't you have to take it step by step?" You can't spend all your money, you must keep part of the money in your hands, and the child in his wife's belly doesn't know what will happen.

After selling the pearls, maybe all the belongings can barely be replaced by a second-hand iron boat, and if there is anything, I have to ask someone else.

"You can take it to the store first and ask how much it's worth before making a decision?" Mrs. Ye seemed more impatient than herself.

Lin Xiuqing nodded, and said with bright eyes, "Shall we ask the town tomorrow?"

"Are you sure you don't?"

She gave him an annoyed look, "When you get rich, if I have a chance to become a rich lady, how many jewels can't I buy? Now I wear them just to show Zao Gong Zao Po, don't be stupid."

"That's fine, then take it to the store tomorrow to see how much it's worth?"

Originally, I wanted to keep it for her, but since she insisted, I had no choice but to let her go, saving her pain and scolding.

She nodded happily.

Ye Yaodong looked at Ah Zheng again, "You hired someone to make row hooks, how are you doing? Have you made a few hundred more? When are you going to release them?"

"I'm going to make 300 more, and I'll make up 500 to release. It should be ready tomorrow."

"I also asked someone to do it. I don't know if I can do it well tomorrow."

Ah Zheng was surprised, "The ground cage is still there?"

"Let's release it, isn't this a waste of time? The ground cage goods will be collected the next day, and the quantity I release is not large, so longline fishing can be arranged every day."

"Yeah, so let's go together tomorrow afternoon?"

"Okay, let's see how much there is and put how much."

"Then I'm going back."

He stood up and wanted to go out, but Ye Yaodong grabbed his pants, "Don't go, everyone is here, help us do it together."

"No, I don't even want to do my own homework. My parents and my wife are still doing it. You still want me to help you. It's a beautiful idea." He pulled the waistband of his trousers and wanted to pull them back from his hands.

But Ye Yaodong held on tightly, "Leave after finishing."

"No."

"Then I rip your pants off?"

Ah Zheng gripped his trousers tightly in a panic, "Can you show some face when you step on the horse?"

"Then do you want to do it?"

"Fuck, fuck, fuck you to death!"

Ye Yaodong withdrew his hand in satisfaction, "Which one of you can make room? Give this uncle a seat."

"Here, here." Ye Chenghai actively stood up and made way for him, "Third Uncle, I will take good care of Uncle Ah Zheng for you and prevent him from running away. Can you reward me with a double share?"

"Yes! Very clever!"

Ye Chengyang is proud~
"Uncle Ah Zheng, you don't want me to chase you home, do you?"

Ah Zheng looked at the pair of uncles and nephews with black lines all over his head, so he had no choice but to lift his pants and resign himself to work.

Ye Yaodong glanced at Ye Chenghai appreciatively, Ye Chenghai was so happy that his tail was going up to the sky.

There are many people and strength, there is maltose hanging in front, a group of children did not even move their buttocks, they worked hard from start to finish, five or six baskets of shelled meat, within two hours, all the meat was picked out.

Ye Yaodong went to his hometown and brought a few more long bamboo flats, and stood at the door, spreading all kinds of shell meat to dry. During this period of time, the weather is cool and the northwest wind is easy to dry.

His father knows how to weave bamboo flats. There are many such things in their house, and they don't need to buy them. He has nothing to worry about.

After he finished drying, the second sister-in-law Ye came back beaming at night, and she didn't know why it took so long to send the money.

"It's done?" Aunt Ye came back after seeing her, and couldn't help asking.

After being stimulated by Ye Yaodong just now, Mrs. Ye suddenly felt a little eager to make money. She was worried about being unreliable at first, but now she is more concerned.

The second sister-in-law Ye smiled and said: "The elder sister-in-law said that the elder brother left early in the morning and wanted to buy a train ticket in advance, and the second cousin will also meet him in the afternoon, so it's the same for me to hand over the money directly to the second cousin. At that time, the date of interest will be counted directly from today."

"That's good, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, and I don't know when the big hall brother will come back next time."

"Yeah, I was worried about not being able to catch up when I passed by. I didn't expect my second cousin to follow. So I sat for a while and chatted with them."

……

He has said everything that should be said, and if he doesn't listen, he can't help it.

After drying and cleaning up, the children were sent out to play, and the couple returned to the house.

Excitedly, Lin Xiuqing took the key to open the drawer and took out the few pearls wrapped in a handkerchief.

"Our dozens of pearls don't seem to be small, but these two seem to be a little smaller."

"Well, the diameter should be 8mm. These two are probably around 6mm. The color is quite good. It feels a pity to sell them."

Lin Xiu gave him a clean look, "It's a pity, the color should be good, so that it can be sold at a high price."

As soon as she finished speaking, her heart moved, "Should we also take that Melo bead to the jewelry store for appraisal?"

Ye Yaodong stared, "No, this can't be sold, and you can't show your face! With the level of small shops in our town, it can't be authenticated, and it will only be punched if you take it out."

Although he doesn't know the current value of this bead, it is definitely not bad, and in the future, it will be priced in tens of thousands of dollars, and this one in his hand is even worse. Units of ten thousand US dollars.

At this time, you have to cover everything first.

This era is very chaotic, he has no power or power, and if he shows up, he has nothing to say if he is forced to buy and sell.

If she really wanted to sell those few pearls for money, she would sell them as well, not Mele beads.

Seeing that his attitude was so determined, Lin Xiuqing couldn't even take it out for an appraisal, so she had to give up.

"Then let's keep it as a lucky bead. Maybe our family's good luck during this period of time is brought by it."

"That's right."

Seaside people are very superstitious.

"Then the thirteen pearls are all sold?"

Ye Yaodong looked at her as a money fan, he didn't want to stay at all, and he couldn't help being a little depressed. Is it all his wishful thinking?

He picked out the largest one and the two smallest ones, "Don't sell these three? In the future, the biggest one will be used as a necklace, and the two small ones will be used as earrings. If you want to sell the ten, you can sell them." Sell ​​it!"

Seeing that she was frowning and looking unhappy, he hurriedly said again: "Keep it for now, I'm really short of money, and it's not too late to sell, those ten can be sold for a lot of money."

She nodded reluctantly, "Okay then."
