Upon entering the room, Ye Qingling was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face still flushed.
Feng Ye closed the door, turned to look at her, his eyes full of smiles.
He walked over gently, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "You heard what Mother said. Should we consider giving Anan a companion?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingling's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple.
Logically speaking, she's been through it all, and has already had one child; she should be able to face it calmly.
However, when it comes to this kind of thing, she's like a young maiden, unable to relax at all, and blushes easily.
She gently nudged Feng Ye and said reproachfully, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Feng Ye smiled and hugged her even tighter, saying, "I only thought of this because I listened to my mother's words."
“Look at our family, we only have one child, Anan, he is indeed a bit lonely.”
"Having more children makes the house more lively, isn't that great?"
Ye Qingling lowered her head and pondered for a while, then looked up at Feng Ye, her eyes sparkling with gentle light.
She said softly, "Actually, I've thought about this before. But with the strict family planning policy now, I'm afraid..."
Feng Ye interrupted her, saying firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will protect you and won't let you get hurt."
"Then let's have another one, preferably a daughter, so we can have both a son and a daughter, making a perfect family."
"I want a little cotton-padded jacket too."
"Weren't we talking about having a baby? Why are we bringing up cotton-padded coats again? It's not that time of year yet!"
Ye Qingling was confused.
She didn't know that this cotton-padded jacket was not the same as the other cotton-padded jacket.
Feng Ye explained with a smile, "A daughter is a father's warm little cotton-padded jacket!"
"Where did you hear such strange talk? I've never heard of it before."
"Then you must not have heard the other two lines."
Which two sentences?
Ye Qingling asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation for the unknown.
Feng Ye chuckled and leaned close to her ear: "One of the lines is, 'A son is like his mother's leather jacket.'"
"What's the meaning?"
"It doesn't keep out the cold when it's cold, and it's too hot to wear when it's warm. It's expensive, and it's a pity to throw it away, but I can wear it to show off and brag to everyone that I have a leather jacket."
Ye Qingling burst out laughing, her body trembling with mirth: "Why do you always say such strange and bizarre things?"
"Want to know what the other line is?"
"think."
“Hehe, there’s another saying…” Feng Ye laughed, “A daughter is her father’s little sweetheart from a past life.”
"So, what you really want is a mistress?"
Ye Qingling rolled her eyes and lightly punched Feng Ye.
"Is it not allowed?"
"Dream on! I'm going to have another son so you won't have to see your sweetheart from your past life."
"Oh dear, my wife is so cruel, she actually wants to deprive me of the right to see my lover from my past life."
Feng Ye clutched his chest, his expression extremely exaggerated.
Ye Qingling was amused by him and playfully punched him: "Stop fooling around, be serious, do we really want to have another one?"
“We could definitely consider having another child.”
Feng Ye put away his joking expression and looked at her seriously. "Although there are some policy restrictions, as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Ye Qingling nodded gently, her eyes shining with maternal light: "Then let's try our best, and hopefully we can achieve our goal."
"Here I come."
As he spoke, Feng Ye leaned down and kissed Ye Qingling's cherry-like lips.
"No, let's do it after Mother and the others have gone to sleep."
Ye Qingling turned her head away to avoid him, while simultaneously pressing down on his flailing hands.
"Okay, then wait a moment."
Knowing she was shy, Feng Ye didn't press her.
Turning back to lie on the bed, he suddenly remembered the deposit and said, "I almost forgot, Ah Ling, give me a dollar."
"Is this the deposit for the boat?"
"Well, the deposit is a total of [amount], we'll split it in half, and Big Brother and Ah Can will each split it in half."
"I'll go get it for you. By the way, didn't you and Ah-Can go to the city? Did it not go well?"
As Ye Qingling spoke, she got up from the bed, found the key, and opened the drawer.
"There are two shipyards in the city, and we've been to both..."
Feng Ye explained the situation at the two shipyards in the city, especially emphasizing the price comparison with the shipyards in the county.
"A price difference of 30,000? That's a lot?"
"Yeah, so as soon as Ah-Can and I heard the price, we didn't even bother to talk about it and just turned around and left."
"It's so expensive, this boat really can't be bought in the city. We have to find a shipyard in the county, since the price-performance ratio is much better."
"That's what we thought too, so on our way back, we passed through the county and went to the shipyard there. We talked with Director Li for several hours before we got back so late."
"But I see that this price is almost three thousand yuan more expensive than what you told me yesterday."
“Some items were not included in yesterday’s estimate, and today the quote we received is 270,000.”
"So, after several hours, you only managed to cut 500 yuan off?"
"Director Li is too stubborn. He won't budge and will only lower the price by 500 yuan. Ah Can and I have no choice."
Feng Ye shook his head and continued, "I was planning to go back to the ship tomorrow to polish it a bit more, so I went back to the ship to prepare to come back. But when we were starting the diesel engine, Director Li ran out and stopped us again."
"But it's still not less!"
"Yes, it's not missing."
"Then why are you talking about it so enthusiastically?"
Ye Qingling rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"The price didn't come down, but we gained something else."
"What did you gain?"
"First, Director Li sent a trawl net, which is a trawl net suitable for large ships, not the small trawl net we have on our ship now."
"Like the one on the Harvest ship, right?"
"right."
"That's not bad, a net is worth quite a bit of money. Anything else?"
"Secondly, the warranty period has been extended by two years. Normally, the warranty period ranges from one to three years, depending on the different parts of the equipment."
"That's a good idea. The ship's machinery gets wet in the seawater, so it's very easy for it to break down, especially over time. It would cost a lot of money to get it repaired. This extra two-year warranty means we'll save a lot of money."
That's exactly the point.
Is there a third one?
Ye Qingling's curiosity was completely piqued.
"Of course there's a third one, you can guess first."
Feng Ye smiled smugly, "However, you probably wouldn't guess this. Even I didn't think of it at first."
