Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

Ye Fan suddenly remembered what Geng Zhiye had said: the people on the island are tough and you should not be fooled by their polite appearance. In the past, they dared to fight against the Japanese pirates with only fishing nets.

Ye Fan was afraid that someone might die, so he quickly said, "No, no, it's not that serious."

The captain of the Lotus Brigade couldn't help but say, "Right! Accountant Ye knew that he was sent by the city, so he didn't bother with him."

Ye Fan nodded: "Even if he has a problem with his character, if we get rid of him so quickly, the city will think that we are troublesome and difficult to deal with, and then it will be troublesome if they send another difficult person here."

If everyone thinks about it carefully, it may not be without disadvantages to look at it a little stupidly.

Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest." Ye Fan said, "By the way, how do we get back?"

The captain of the Lotus Brigade said: "I came here on a tractor. The car is in front of his house." Look at the captain of the Shanxi Brigade.

No wonder they didn't hear the car. Ye Fan walked them out the door and asked, "Do you have a flashlight?"

The leader of the Lotus Brigade raised his hand to indicate that he had. Ye Fan then closed the door and went back to his room.

Geng Zhiqin came out of Dabao and Erbao's room and asked, "Sister-in-law, shouldn't we ask the commune secretary about this?"

Ye Fan smiled bitterly: "The commune secretary will most likely support it."

Geng Zhiqin was shocked: "Do you support the nationalization of fishermen's boats?"

Ye Fan nodded: "The country is in trouble, we should support it. He is very likely to say so. He doesn't think about the fact that the islanders are so poor that they can only eat seafood."

Geng Zhiqin wanted to laugh immediately: "If I hadn't been on the island and knew the situation here, I would have thought this was like 'Why not eat meat'."

Ye Fan: "Many people only eat rice once a day, or rice soup. This is because there are many mountains and little land on the island. For example, we had enough sweet potatoes when we were young, but they didn't have enough because they only had two meals a day during the sweet potato harvest season. They didn't dare to eat too much."

"You mean they eat twice a day?"

Ye Fan nodded: "As far as I know, 80% of the members have two meals a day. They eat porridge. They make their own rice cakes and flour. They put several kilograms of seafood and vegetables in a handful of rice cakes. The children are very hungry at night, so the adults say, cook a few crabs or steam a fish. Crabs and fish are not oily, and they fill their stomachs, but they are greedy and anxious."

Geng Zhiqin: "The commune secretary can't see it?"

"How could he not know?" Ye Fan was speechless when he mentioned Su Yuanhang's father. "He would say that although the island is poor, no one has starved to death. There are still many people in our country who can't eat and can only dig wild vegetables and boil tree roots. He is simply generous to others. But he really thinks so, and you can't say he is selfish or seeking fame. Isn't it infuriating?"

Geng Zhiqin nodded: "What is sister-in-law going to do?"

"Just wait and see." Ye Fan told her to go read a book. "By the way, there are a few buns in the cupboard. Heat them up if you're hungry."

Geng Zhiqin: "We have biscuits. We can also make milk powder. You can go to sleep. Dabao and Erbao are asleep."

Ye Fan went to his children's room to check. Erbao was asleep. Dabao opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, but his eyelids were already triple. Ye Fan touched his little head and asked, "Is the quilt cold?"

There was a bottle of saline solution in the quilt, and Dabao shook his head slightly.

"Go to sleep." Ye Fan tucked the quilt for her son, then looked at Erbao at the bottom layer. The quilt was fine, so she went back to her room to rest.

The next day, Dabao and Erbao did not want Ye Fan to send them to school, and went to school with their elder brother and younger sister. Ye Fan washed the clothes and went to the food factory.

The market staff were very idle at this time, chatting at the door. When they saw Ye Fan, they couldn't help but ask, "Accountant Ye, why do you come here every day these days?"

Ye Fanxin said that a troublemaker had been sent by the higher-ups and she had to come.

"The new factory director will be here in a while." Ye Fan opened the office door first to prevent him from coming over and seeing the door closed and nagging endlessly, and then continued chatting with the employees.

About ten minutes later, Yan Yang arrived.

Ye Fan suspected that he came here on a fishing boat that was delivering goods to the purchasing station.

As expected, Yan Yang asked Ye Fan as soon as he came up to him, "Do we still deliver seafood to the purchasing station every day?"

Ye Fan nodded: "Although the purchasing station doesn't want much, after all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

Yan Yang: "I will go to Shencheng and Hangzhou to ask in a few days."

Ye Fan was not afraid of him going, although the food factory had business dealings with the supply and marketing cooperatives in these two places, they only sold fruits, lotus roots and lotus seeds. They really did not need seafood with high shipping costs.

Ye Fan: "Thank you for your hard work, Director Yan. By the way, where are your things?"

Yan Yang said, "On another boat. He said he was waiting for someone and would be late. He asked me and my car to come first."

Ye Fan: "There's a phone number in the market manager's office. I'll call the commune and ask them to notify the leader of the Lotus Brigade to drive the tractor over?"

The market worker couldn't help but ask, "Can't we just ask the fishing boats to go over there?"

Ye Fan: "The mountains over there are too steep for the Five Star Brigade, so the boat can't dock."

Yan Yang asked: "Can't we build a ferry?"

Ye Fan was good at scolding people, such as Chen Kuanren and Zhao Ruping, who would also support him: "Of course. But the cost is too high, and our food factory doesn't have that much money. It's unrealistic to ask the members to pay. They only have porridge twice a day, and they don't even want to eat rice."

Yan Yang was surprised: "There are fish and fruits on the island, and I heard there are also wild mushrooms. Is that enough for two meals a day?"

The market worker frowned, what ears? Are fruits, mushrooms and seafood considered rice?

Ye Fan: "There are too many mountains and too little land. There are purchase limits on food outside, and we have money but nowhere to buy it."

Yan Yang suddenly realized: "I forgot that I need food coupons to buy food in the city."

At this moment, Ye Fan really wanted to know whose relative he was and whether the person who arranged for him to come here knew that he was a fool.

Yan Yang added: "Can't we grow crops on the mountain? If we can't grow rice, we can grow sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes don't need a lot of water."

Ye Fan had a headache: "Director Yan, have you ever heard of landslides? That is, only trees can be planted on the mountains close to residential buildings. And the soil here is different from other places. There is a layer of mountain soil on the top and all rocks underneath. Just because fruit trees can take root doesn't mean wheat, sweet potatoes or taro can also take root."

Perhaps Ye Fan's expression was too speechless, Yan Yang smiled awkwardly and said he would go to the ferry to see if the boat had arrived.

Yan Yang turned around, and Ye Fan rolled his eyes in exasperation.

The market worker was about to ask why Director Yan didn't know anything, but when he saw Ye Fan's expression, he was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

Ye Fan went to the director's office accompanied by the laughter of the employees.

The director asked her if she wanted some water. Ye Fan shook her head and called the commune. The director waited until she hung up the phone and said, "That factory director Yan, I saw he was a hypocrite the first day I got here."

Ye Fanxin said, no wonder you never show up every time he comes. "What do you mean?"

Director: "You were not here that day, and he said he was the new factory director. I thought he was someone I would work with in the future, so I asked him to come in and have a chat. Guess what he did? He put his hands behind his back and said he would take a look around first. If you didn't know, you would think it was a supervisor from above. Although he was sent by the supervisor, who could he lead?"

Ye Fan pointed at himself.

The director sneered and said, "From today on, if you don't care about anything and just act as your accountant, he will have to leave within three months."

Ye Fanxin said, it won't take three months. If I hadn't held the fisherman down, he would have been able to swim over today.

"Give the city leaders some face." Ye Fan said with a smile, "I'll go to the ferry to take a look. It's not easy for them to get here for the first time."

The director thought to himself that Accountant Ye was worthy of being raised by a general, he was generous and particular!

Ye Fan had seen many people like Yan Yang in his previous life.

No one likes him except for leaders who share the same moral character as him. However, leaders with the same moral character as him cannot reach high positions because they are incompetent and have low emotional intelligence. Those who can get to high positions all rely on their real abilities or high emotional intelligence.

Ye Fan didn't even ask anyone about Yan Yang's background, he just didn't believe how powerful the people who supported him were.

After more than half an hour at the ferry, the captain of the Lotus Brigade arrived, and Su Yuanhang's father also arrived. When Su's father saw Yan Yang, he stretched out his hand and greeted him with a smile, as if he didn't see Ye Fan. Ye Fan sneered and turned away.

Yan Yang subconsciously shouted: "Accountant Ye!"

"Go to the toilet!" Ye Fan said nonsense.

Su Yuanhang's father looked a little unhappy.

Perhaps Ye Fan performed too well, Yan Yang believed her words without a doubt and asked, "Why is Secretary Su here?"

Secretary Su was afraid that the willful Miss Ye would neglect the people sent by the higher-ups, but he didn't want others to know that Ye Fan looked down on him, so he said that he was free and came to help. Then he ordered the captain of the Lotus Brigade and two members to help Yan Yang move things.

The team leader wanted to throw Yan Yang's things into the sea, but he had to give Accountant Ye some face, so he and two members moved the things together.

When they arrived at the Five Star Brigade, Su Yuanhang's father helped Yan Yang decorate the room. When he found that there was no stove, he said there was no need to buy one, as he already had a stove, coal briquettes, and dishes.

Yan Yang said that he brought a lunch box and a pot, and Su Yuanhang's father asked the team leader to go back to his house to get coal briquettes for the stove, etc.

The team leader was not happy about it, and he went to the Su family to gossip about the old secretary, saying that he was kind-hearted. However, there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. When Su's mother heard that Yan Yang was sent by the higher-ups, she not only asked the team leader to move, but also gave him rice and a few kilograms of seafood picked by her daughter-in-law. Su Yuanhang's wife was very happy.

The captain suddenly didn't want to say anything.

But he was suffocating because he did nothing. He had to serve this "King of Hell" from above. The captain wrote a letter to Su Yuanhang, saying that his family was finished!

Su Yuanhang was shocked when he received the letter. After calming down, he realized that it must be his father who did something to make the captain complain to him. If something serious happened, he would come directly to him. If he left in the morning, he would be at his school in the afternoon, which is faster than a telegram. Why write a letter?

Even so, Su Yuanhang still checked the class schedule - there was no class next Saturday afternoon. He bought a ticket during the lunch break and sent another telegram to Ye Fan.

As soon as Ye Fan received the telegram, he asked the captain of the Shanxi Brigade to take a fishing boat to pick up Su Yuanhang.

After class on Saturday morning, Su Yuanhang went straight to the train station, arrived in Ningbo in the afternoon, caught the last bus to the suburbs, and walked a few miles before arriving at the pier at around seven o'clock.

At nine o'clock, Su Yuanhang landed on the island.

Su Yuanhang saw that the light was on in Ye Fan's house and told the captain to go home first. When Su Yuanhang called out "Accountant Ye", he realized that the light might not be in Ye Fan's bedroom, but in Geng Zhiqin's room.

Su Yuanhang was about to say "It's okay" when Geng Zhiqin opened the door. Su Yuanhang was about to say "I'll visit Accountant Ye tomorrow" when Geng Zhiye came out. Geng Zhiye waved his hand, and Su Yuanhang untied the rope on the fence and went in: "Captain Geng, I'm sorry, I forgot you were resting."

Geng Zhiye: "You haven't slept yet. Come in. Just got off the boat? Have you eaten?"

Su Yuanhang shook his head: "The captain's family has done it, I'll go to his house to stay for one night."

Geng Zhiye asked his sister to go back to the room to rest and poured him a glass of water.

There was a thermos of water in Ye Fan's house that was never hot or cold. Su Yuanhang took it and drank it in one gulp before he had the mind to ask what his father was doing.

Ye Fan came out of the bedroom fully dressed and said that Director Yan wanted to gather the fishing boats together to set up a shipping factory. The members and the team leader disagreed, so he went to complain to Secretary Su.

Ye Fan: "Your father has been accompanying him to lobby the members every day these days. Su Qin was not as active as your father in lobbying the six countries. You are worthy of being a descendant of the Su family, and you are better than your father."

"Puff!" Geng Zhiye poured another glass of water for Su Yuanhang, who spit it out as soon as he took a sip. He wiped it with a handkerchief and asked, "Doesn't he know that once the shipping factory is established, he will be under the leadership of the higher-ups?"

Ye Fan: "Maybe you think the shipping factory on the island is collectively owned. If you want to talk about this, it's easy to understand. Your father has been a party member all his life. I don't believe that the higher-ups will fight with the islanders for the boats."

Su Yuanhang: "There are good people and bad people everywhere. How many people have taken revenge on each other in the past ten years of revolution? Does he have any brains? If the higher-ups said the neighboring island was poor and they sent half of the ship over, he - with his personality, might think that we should help others if we have the ability."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Any help is helpful."

Su Yuanhang nodded: "Like eight ounces helping half a pound?"

Geng Zhiye was amused by his sarcastic words.

Geng Zhiqin couldn't help but say, "You guys are really good at bullying people. Su Yuanhang, that's your father."

Ye Fan: "You didn't understand. In the past, half a catty was equal to eight ounces. Su Yuanhang meant that the hungry and full ones would help the hungry, and then the two islands would hold hands and not have enough to eat."

Geng Zhiqin was very embarrassed and didn't dare to eavesdrop on their conversation. Later, she was so focused on her homework that she didn't even know when Su Yuanhang left.

The next morning, Su Yuanhang ate something at the Shanxi Brigade Captain's house, then rode Ye Fan's bike home. He didn't eat until he got home. Seeing Su Yuanhang coming back, the family was shocked.

It was Su Yuanhang's two children who reacted first and asked where their father came from.

Su's father asked him if he had encountered any problems.

Su Yuanhang had to leave at noon, and with a ticket for the afternoon, he could get to the train station in the evening. There were no buses at night, but fortunately the train station was seven or eight miles away from the school, so he could walk to school before the lights went out and the school closed.

It was the first time that Su Yuanhang had been away from home for such a long time. He missed his wife and children and wanted to be alone with them for a while. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with his father, so he asked him, "What's going on with the shipping factory?"

Father Su asked without thinking: "Did Ye Fan tell you?"

Su Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, then realized that his father thought he was brought here by Ye Fan: "Accountant Ye's idea?"

Father Su realized that he had misunderstood, so he pretended that he had not asked and said naturally, "Director Yan, is this a bad idea?"

Su Yuanhang knew that he could not persuade her, so he said directly: "I object! No need to explain, I don't want to hear it." Su's father sneered: "Yes. You are a college student now, you have grown wings——"

Su Yuanhang stood up immediately, and his father was startled. Su Yuanhang ignored him and asked his children and wife, "Have you finished eating? If you're done, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

The two children were about the same age as Dabao and Erbao. Although they were afraid of their elders, they were more greedy and loved to play. They immediately dropped their chopsticks and ran out.

Su Yuanhang's wife did not dare to disobey her parents-in-law, but it was the first time she was separated from Su Yuanhang for such a long time, and she missed her husband, so she moved out carefully.

When Su Yuanhang went to school, the school gave him subsidies, and he used the subsidies to buy things for his wife and children. After walking around until about ten o'clock, Su Yuanhang returned home, rode his bike to Su Duofu's house, and asked Su Duofu to return the bike to Ye Fan. He then took the fishing boat of the Lotus Brigade to go out to sea.

On the boat, Su Yuanhang told the captain that his father was looking for more members and that Su Yuanhang objected.

Sure enough, when Secretary Su took Director Yan to lobby everywhere, the answers they got were always that Yuanhang disagreed, and if Yuanhang agreed, they had no objection.

Su Yuanhang's father suddenly felt ashamed to see Yan Yang. Yan Yang went to the production team alone, and no one paid attention to him - he was not a city leader, nor a commune leader. A food factory director wanted to manage them, dreaming!

Director Yan complained to Ye Fan: "There is a reason why we are poor."

Ye Fan asked: "How about this, you ask the city to get us two boats. We can go out and make some money and then buy one. One is fine?"

Yan Yang immediately thought this was a good idea and said he would go ashore tomorrow.

Ye Fan almost lost his composure. She was just saying it to please him, why did he take it seriously?

"Why don't you think about it again? Boats are expensive. Even one costs a lot of money."

Yan Yang shook his head: "We earn money for the country, bring people in to buy things on the island, and generate income for the fishermen. It's good for the country and the people, so there's no way the higher-ups won't support it."

Ye Fan suddenly wanted to ask him if he knew the saying “A good cook cannot cook without rice”.

"That makes sense." Ye Fan complimented, "Director Yan still has a solution. I didn't think of this. Maybe I have too many chores to do and have to take care of my sister-in-law, so I don't have time to think about these things. Fortunately, I haven't had anything to do recently."

Yan Yang couldn't help but say, "I was just about to tell you about this. I've been idle for too long. The first month of the year is almost over."

Ye Fan: "Then please ask the supply and marketing cooperative if they want our stuff. I'll be watching over the factory, so just go ahead and do your work."

Yan Yang thought about how he hadn't been home for many days and asked, "Then I'll go there tomorrow?"

Ye Fan: "Let the fishermen take you there. There are also fishing boats in the production team to the north of the Five Star Brigade. You can also take a boat to the Lotus Brigade. The Lotus Brigade is close to the shore. If the wind is calm, it may take half an hour to get there."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yang decided to trouble Secretary Su.

Ye Fan had no shame in "shifting the blame to others". But before Su Yuanhang left, he told his wife that Yan Yang would write to him when he went to his house to see his father. His wife admired him because he was admitted to a key university, so she wrote down the conversation between Yan Yang and Secretary Su word for word.

Su Yuanhang's wife was his junior high school classmate, she never went to high school, but she had no problem writing letters. When Su Yuanhang saw the words "Accountant Ye said it was closer to shore from the Lotus Brigade" in the letter, his eyes went dark. Did Accountant Ye want to tire his father to death?

Su Yuanhang sent Ye Fan an express letter. Before Yan Yang came back from the shore, the letter reached Ye Fan.

When Ye Fan saw Su Yuanhang begging her to let his father go in the letter, she suppressed her laughter and replied, "You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of a fish?"

Su Yuanhang fell silent after receiving the letter.

The day he received the letter, Yan Yang came back from outside the island. Ye Fan calculated that it was time for him to come, so he went to the office to read the newspaper obediently.

Yan Yang's face was beaming with joy. Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, wondering if he could possibly have done it.

Ye Fan stood up and poured him a glass of water: "Done?"

Yan Yang nodded: "Done!"

"Have you signed the contract?"

Yan Yang shook his head: "I don't know how much we can ship at a time. So I came back to ask you. Accountant Ye, do you know?"

"I don't know. But I can ask the production team leader to calculate it." Ye Fan took out the account book: "How much is one pound?"

Yan Yang proudly stated the price of seafood first, then the price of dry goods, and then asked: "Not low, right?"

"The fishermen themselves can't sell it at such a high price." Ye Fan checked the account book, "But it's not very high either. Whether it's fresh or dried, it's just the cost price."

Yan Yang couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it that fishermen can't sell at such a high price? Why is it still the cost?"

Ye Fan: "The boat needs to refuel to go back and forth, right? We need to rent a car from the shore to the train, right? We need to rent a car to transport goods by train, right? Do we need two people to follow the car? If one person falls asleep on the car and the money is stolen, whose responsibility will be? If two people arrive in Hangzhou in the afternoon and cannot come back at night, do they need to stay and eat? The selling price is fixed, and we want to make money, so we can only squeeze the fishermen. For example, we used to charge 80 cents for the fishermen's goods, but now it's 60 or 50 cents. Are the fishermen happy? If my husband wasn't here, and he had someone with a gun, the fishermen would not drive us off the island. I'll take your surname!"

Yan Yang was stunned.

Ye Fan added, "You can sell it to the purchasing station for 50 or 60 cents, and you can go whenever you want. Why bother looking for us? And why do you have to coordinate your schedule with us?"

Yan Yang was annoyed: "I forgot to ask you the purchase price. How about I go and talk about it again?"

"You're going to raise the price?" Ye Fan ran out of patience. "Have you ever bought anything? Do you want to go out and ask the market staff what they say?"

If you meet someone with a bad temper, you should slap him twice - what a fantasy!

Yan Yang couldn't help but curse: "They really don't know how to think about the poor people."

Ye Fan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense: "How is the shipping factory?"

Yan Yang was so anxious to get this done that he completely forgot about the shipping company. He said embarrassedly, "I'll go ask tomorrow."

"Take a break for two days. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Ye Fanxin said, you come today and leave tomorrow, you are not annoyed by the fishermen who pick you up and drop you off, "Don't be so careless this time. Remember to tell us how much supplies we have on the island. It will be a pity if we can't get out."

Yan Yang expressed his gratitude to Ye Fan very sincerely.

Since Yan Yang was not beaten out by the fierce fishermen, Ye Fan deserved it.

In March when spring is in full bloom, Yan Yang leaves the island again.

This time, as expected, he returned quickly, in disgrace. Ye Fan could imagine, even across the mountains and rivers, that the superiors would slam the table and glare at Yan Yang, and probably throw the map in his face, asking him to see clearly how many islands there were within the jurisdiction of Yongcheng City, and asking him if those islands didn't want to build shipping factories. Why didn't the city provide a few ships for each island?

The reason why Ye Fan felt so ashamed was because Yan Yang came to the food factory and said, "We'll have to wait a little longer for this matter," and then left and went back to the factory.

The market manager saw this through the window and came out curiously to ask, "Accountant Ye, what happened to Director Yan?"

"You got scolded." Ye Fan gloated.

The director said rudely, "You deserve it! He doesn't do his job every day, but jumps up and down, which makes him look bad! By the way, Accountant Ye, are you going to receive the goods soon?"

Ye Fan nodded, "We will receive the goods in the next few days. We will ship them over around the 20th. During the Qingming Festival next month, children will visit their elders' graves and people in the city will return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors. No one can go empty-handed."

Director: “Do you package it here or in the workshop?”

Ye Fan looked towards the north. "Go to the workshop. The packaging bags we ordered last year have not been used up. Individually packaged bags with good appearance can be sold at a high price."

The director couldn't help but say, "Director Yan might as well think about how to make seafood unaffordable for ordinary people."

"He would say flashy things and deceive consumers."

The director rolled his eyes and said, "How can eating at home be the same as eating when visiting relatives? What a brain." He waved his hand in annoyance and went back to the room to drink tea and read the newspaper.

To be honest, Ye Fan is also free.

Notify the leader of the Shanxi Brigade three days later, and if it doesn't rain two days later, go to the workshop of the Five Star Brigade to deliver the goods, and then ask him to notify the next door, and then ask the next door to notify the next production team, and pass it on in sequence.

The rain is probably waiting for Qingming Festival to appear, so the weather has been very good recently.

Five days later, Ye Fan rode his bike to the factory.

Ye Fan opened the warehouse door and took out the carton. He then divided the small boxes and bags inside the carton and asked the temporary workers to weigh and pack them.

Yan Yang saw the outline of Hengshan Island printed on the box, and there were fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs and other creatures on the island. He frowned and asked, "How can fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs grow on the mountain?"

The temporary worker pretended to be deaf.

The fishermen who came to sell seafood annoyed him and pretended not to hear him, so he asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said perfunctorily: "Abstract art can make people's eyes light up."

The leader of the Lotus Brigade deliberately said, "Accountant Ye designed it casually. The paper box is too plain and clean and doesn't look good. The small paper bag also has Hengshan Island, fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs, and kelp on it. If Director Yan has a better one, use Director Yan's."

Yan Yang couldn't draw, not even abstract paintings, so he just kept quiet. But everyone was busy, and he was the only one idle. He probably felt that it was not important for him, so he asked Ye Fan again: "Are these all shipped to the capital?"

Ye Fan nodded: "From the end of last year to now, all the things that the fishermen have saved for such a long time have been transported over."

Yan Yang realized belatedly: "Actually, there is no need to ship it to Hangzhou and Shencheng?"

Ye Fan shook his head. "Now we almost always go out to sea in the morning or afternoon. Sometimes the weather requires it, like when fish are migrating, so we will choose a specific time to cast the nets, such as at night, go home to sleep for a night, and collect the nets in the morning. If there is a need in these two cities, the fishermen can have lunch on the boat, or stay overnight on the boat and get up in the middle of the night to pull the nets."

Yan Yang nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Fan asked: "Director Yan plans to go to Shencheng to take a look?"

Director Yan didn't plan to go out recently, and he was almost wasting his salary of several dozen yuan. This time, he went home to stay for one night before landing on the island, and he had a quarrel with his wife because of this.

Seeing that he finally calmed down, Ye Fan said, "Director Yan, you come to do the accounting? No need to pay. I'll pay after the things are sold. I have something to do at home."

Yan Yang looked at his watch. It was not yet eleven o'clock.

Ye Fan immediately wanted to kick him up the mountain. How could a grown man be so petty?

The fishermen who came to sell things couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "Master Ye, are you going back to give Erbao a vaccination?"

Ye Fan nodded.

Yan Yang hurriedly put his hands behind his back: "Then go quickly."

Ye Fan went home to rest and then washed vegetables and cooked. In the afternoon, Dabao and Erbao came back from school, and Ye Fan took Erbao to the Shanxi Brigade - in recent days, the health center came here to give vaccinations, so it was easier for the fishermen to find them, so they chose to wait in the production team office.

Dabao looked at Erbao running back and was very surprised: "Erbao, doesn't the vaccination hurt?"

Erbao shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, I'm giving it to Tiandou."

Dabao and Erbao are a few years apart in age, so they have different vaccinations. The next afternoon, Dabao came back, and Ye Fan asked, "Did you get the vaccinations?"

"Mom, are you coming with me?"

Ye Fan held his hand and told Erbao to play in the room and not to disturb his aunt who was reading.

"Mom, let's go." Dabao pulled Ye Fan and ran.

When Dabao arrived at the production team office and saw the long and thin needle, he turned around and left.

Ye Fan grabbed him: "Erbao is not afraid."

"Er Bao is stupid and bold!"

Ye Fan grabbed his ears and said, "Come here. Don't force me to find your dad."

Dabao went over and covered his eyes with his mother's hand. Ye Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that Geng Dabao would burst into tears as soon as the needle touched his arm, just like last year. The young nurse was so scared that she almost lost her grip on the needle.

He still cried after being beaten.

The doctors and nurses were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Ye Fan thought he was embarrassing himself, so he picked up Dabao and left.

When they got outside and saw a lot of people, Dabao started crying again: "Who allowed you to hug me? Don't I have any dignity?"

Ye Fan let go: "Is this reasonable? Who is crying in there and won't leave?"

Dabao wiped away his tears: "Can't you pull me out?"

Ye Fan asked curiously: "Does your arm hurt?"

If I hadn't told Dabao, he would have forgotten about it. When Dabao was touched, it hurt so much that he pouted and started crying.

Ye Fan: "Your classmate is here!"

Dabao hurriedly held back his tears.
