"A-Guang!"
Hearing the familiar voice, A-Guang turned around happily. "When I saw my dad come back last night, I knew you were home. I've been busy at home all day and was thinking of heading over to your place tonight."
"I just came out to buy some seafood. I'm planning to have everyone over for drinks tonight. Make sure you come. We can all have a chat."
"Sure. Don't bother buying anything, then. Once my boat comes back, we can just keep a little of the catch. That'll be plenty."
"How's that boat you hired people to work in partnership with you doing?"
"Pretty well," A-Guang said happily. "I can make money without going out to sea myself. All I have to do is come collect the catch once the boat docks. It saves a lot of trouble."
Ye Yaodong rubbed his chin. "Feels like being a boss now, doesn't it?"
"Exactly, exactly... Mostly, it's just convenient. Huimei's due soon, and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her without an older family member at home to help. This way, I can stay home and keep an eye on her."
"When's she giving birth? Haven't you been saying she's due soon all this time? How come she still hasn't had the baby?"
"Who knows? How can anyone calculate childbirth that precisely? We can only estimate that it'll be sometime around the Mid-Autumn Festival. She even wanted to go over to your place today, but I wouldn't let her."
Ye Yaodong nodded. Seeing a boat approaching in the distance, he pointed at it. "That's the one, right?"
"Yeah. I wonder how much they caught today."
"You're guaranteed to make money either way. It's just a question of how much."
Ye Yaodong was in no hurry to head back. He stayed on the shore
