Ye Yaodong on the table was still eating and talking.
"Those children are not young anymore. Ah Hai is already 13. The following ones are only one or two years apart from each other. They are all taller than the stove. Can they cook by themselves? They are such big people.
How come you still need to be well cared for? Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family, so whose children...are carrying stools and standing on them to cook when they are less than ten years old..."
"Then how can it be the same? They are all going to school, and when they come back from school, they have to make a fire to cook. Let's not talk about whether it tastes good or not. How long will it be when they finish cooking and finish eating? Don't burn the house down.
.”
Moreover, since there is no adult, she, as an aunt, shouldn't she have to go over and take a closer look? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. This leaves the children to fend for themselves, and she won't need her help later.
This kind of thankless job might be long-term, and she didn't want to accept it.
"Just give it to your grandparents. We are so close, but not too far away." Father Ye concluded and immediately changed the subject, "Eat quickly, and ride over to tell your Brother Asheng after eating.
Went out to sea around 5 a.m.”
Mother Ye turned around and asked, "Is it so late?"
"It's just a collection of sticky nets. There are no trawl nets or long lines. There are only more than 40 nets now. It's okay to go out later. It can be collected in one day. If you go out later, you can sleep a little longer."
"Then if you go early, you can come back early and leave more time for killing fish, so you don't have to kill fish in the dark every day."
The old lady interrupted, "It doesn't matter if you kill the fish a little later. If you don't sleep and get up early every night, people will not be able to bear it after a long time."
"Lighting the lights up so late every day doesn't cost electricity, which costs a lot of money every month."
"Okay, what's there to say? I didn't ask you to pay the electricity bill. I just worry about it every day. I quickly washed the two bowls and went next door to help kill the fish, and I'm still talking here."
Ye's father stood up and muttered something, put the bowl in the pot for Ye's mother to wash together, and urged her to work more and talk less.
"I'm asked to do the work, but I'm not allowed to say anything..."
"What you said doesn't make sense. If it did make sense, who would think it's verbose? You shouldn't prick up your ears and listen carefully."
Mother Ye glared at him, washed the bowl casually and put it on the stove. She scratched her apron with her wet hands and went out with the cutting board and knife.
"I'm just a worker..."
"Who is not a worker?" Father Ye heard her mutter before she left, and followed her.
Ye Yaodong also answered, "What are you doing?"
Everyone at the table looked at him inexplicably.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Children, don't be so curious, just give me something to eat and do your homework. You are trying to get two 100-percent exams, and you have been dawdling for a long time without eating a morsel of food."
"It's just one bite, so much food..." He muttered, then proudly said, "Also, I've finished my homework a long time ago!"
"Have you memorized the book?"
"The teacher didn't say memorize it."
"Then if your mother doesn't ask you to eat, then you don't have to eat? You don't recite more? Why do you show off in school? Think about it, if the teacher reads a random sentence during class, you can pick it up
You did it, and you connected it correctly, and all your classmates looked at you with admiration. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Ye Chenghu blinked and looked at him. After thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. However, "It's useless to memorize it. Everyone must think that I am just reading from the book and memorizing it, so they won't look at it with admiration."
I, I don’t want to carry it.”
After saying that, he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and ran away immediately.
Lin Xiuqing looked at Ye Yaodong amusedly, "How can he be so easy to deceive? He is so old, and he is not a fool. He can just coax him a few words and believe him."
"You brat, with this kind of virtue, you can get 100 points on two exams, and the sun will rise in the west."
Ye Chengyang was so anxious when he saw Ye Chenghu running away that he grabbed the spoon he was eating with and quickly pulled it away, then quickly threw it away and hurried after him.
The two brothers are inseparable from each other, and Meng is inseparable from each other. When they are good, they are like one person.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong also went next door to watch his two sisters-in-law killing fish, and then walked to a few neighboring houses. The women from the neighboring houses were also killing fish enthusiastically. He heard the voices here from a distance, and felt
It sounds quite lively, and the passion is not diminished even in the cold weather.
It was only when he got closer that he heard that they were talking about the sea monster they had donated years ago as a reward, and the village committee had belatedly delivered it to them today.
Not to mention what the reward is, everyone is dissatisfied with the efficiency alone, and everyone is complaining and condemning it.
Almost two months!
The reason I gave was that it was the Chinese New Year and there were a lot of things, so I kept putting them aside without approval. After the Chinese New Year, I was rushing to do important things first, and then it rained intermittently, which also affected the speed of mailing, so I waited until today to deliver it. Village
It was delivered to your door in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the sisters-in-law of the Zhou family had already complained a lot. Now several women gathered together to kill fish and chat. They started talking and scolding again.
"It's just 50 yuan and a piece of paper. I don't know what's written on it. I searched and searched for it and couldn't bear to give it a flag. With just this little thing, I can still delay it for two months. I'm convinced."
"It's great that I can still give it. So much time has passed and I thought it was gone and the donation was in vain."
"After all, I still have 50 yuan. You can still share a cent, so be content. Otherwise, you won't even get those ugly things if you give them away, and your work and trouble will be in vain."
Sister-in-law Zhou pursed her lips, "I just waited too long, I thought it was gone..."
"It's good to have something in hand..."
Ye Yaodong stood aside and listened to their discussion before he touched his chin and thought, what he got at that time was actually quite a lot?
There were glorious banners, subsidies from the county, subsidies from the village, and bits and pieces that left them several blocks away, although the things he handed over were extraordinary.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a lot more comfortable. Although the value of the thing was compared to that of the tripod, it was still not as valuable as the previous one but more than the lower one. Mazu also benefited.
The Mazu Temple next to it would probably have been completed by now, if it hadn't been due to the Chinese New Year and rain, which had to stop work for almost a month.
I heard that the day after the new year has been set for the Liang Liang ceremony. It is the day of my birthday. It is also a good day for the Liang Liang Festival. I will prepare hundreds of tables by then.
The village is already making preparations. I heard that the theater troupe has been invited in advance, saying that they will sing for seven days and seven nights to celebrate.
Ye Yaodong listened for a while and felt that he had not heard any useful information, so he went to his second uncle's house to find Brother A Sheng.
Their whole family lives together, but they are separated in name only. They don't have money to build their own houses, so they are still crowded together.
Except for his own family, he is quite indifferent to other relatives. He has never been close to him in his previous life, and he can't be affectionate. Moreover, he doesn't like his second uncle very much. Apart from normal human exchanges, he meets him on the road.
He didn't even say hello.
Unexpectedly, when he visited their home for the first time after his rebirth, he was warmly welcomed by his second uncle.
As soon as he sat down at Brother Asheng's house, his second uncle came out in a hurry without even putting on his clothes. When he came to him, he was still wearing a cotton-padded jacket.
"You are a busy person now, how come you still have time to come here so late? It's a cold day, and it's even colder at night. You can just talk about it during the day if you have anything to do. It won't be good if you catch a cold while walking back and forth at night. That would have to be delayed.
You make money."
The smile on his face and his warm tone almost made him think that he had a good relationship with his second uncle's family.
Sure enough, ginger is still spicier!
"No, I just came back from going to sea. I came over after having a meal. I would like to invite Brother Asheng to go to sea together at five o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay, he will definitely be free and will definitely go with you."
Ye Yaosheng looked at Uncle Ye helplessly, "I have already agreed to go to the Wang family tomorrow to help build the pig pen..."
Uncle Ye turned to glare at him, "The Wang family has no men? Are you still asked to work? How many people do you need to build a pigsty? Can't they do it themselves? What's your relationship? You're not married. What's the point?
Why don't you work more, save some money, and let Dongzi pull you out? Do you still have to wait to marry that woman from the Wang family?"
"That family had a lot of troubles, so they shouldn't have agreed at that time, because they could guarantee a son? They were coaxed by the matchmaker at that time, so they would definitely have a son in the future...
"Tomorrow I will ask the person I introduced earlier to come to their door and tell them clearly. Don't try to get involved in any conspiracy. We don't believe this. Marrying a widow is better than marrying that woman. This person hasn't married yet, and all your money has been spent.
I've made a bunch of people, I'm trying to suck your blood, I can't be taken advantage of..."
"I promised and then went back on my word..."
"What's wrong with going back on my word? We're not engaged or married, so even if we're married, we can still get divorced..."
Ye Yaodong sat there, frowning and being forced to listen to the father and son talking there. He came to invite people, not to listen to them talk about his family's shortcomings.
"Hey, wait a minute, Brother Asheng is not free tomorrow, right? If not, then I will call someone else."
"Whenever I have time, I will definitely follow you. It's rare that you think about him as a brother and if you want to win over him, he must first pay attention to you." After saying that, he turned around and glared at Ye Yaosheng again.
Ye Yaosheng thought for a while and agreed, "I will definitely go there on time tomorrow."
Uncle Ye was satisfied, "That's right. Dongzi is now a man who earns a lot of money. He has a lot to do and a lot of work to do. My brothers at home can't help. Your cousins ​​are also brothers and relatives. We are still connected through our bones."
As for Jin, you should help more when you need to help."
Ye Yaosheng nodded.
Ye Yaodong also couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. His second uncle was really good at making small calculations, but it was a pity that he was old and illiterate, and his talent was limited. Otherwise, he might still be able to make some achievements.
Uncle Ye continued to smile at him and said: "Your brother Asheng is too honest, and his life has not been smooth in recent years. With you thinking about him, his life will be easier in the future, and he will not let us age.
Now, I still have to worry about it..."
"If I can earn more money in the future, marry a wife with peace of mind, and give birth to a big fat boy, I can rest in peace even after I die. Now I am worried about him. This person's life is not easy. After so long, he
There is no woman at home who can help..."
Second Uncle Ye caught him chattering, and Ye Yaodong felt his head grow bigger when he heard it.
Why does this person have no sense of boundaries at all? He is quite forgetful. The unpleasant events have probably been deleted from the cache in his mind.
Ye Yaodong stood up directly and did not listen to his nagging. He was not here to make love to his wife. He was here to hire someone to do work. Let him do as he should.
Looking at his appearance, Ye Yaosheng knew that he was impatient with being verbose, so he quickly pulled his own father away who still wanted to talk.
"Now that it's been agreed, I'll go back first. I have something to do at home. Brother Asheng, just remember to come on time tomorrow."
Ye Yaosheng nodded, "Okay, I will go there on time tomorrow morning. It's quite dark outside, so you should go back early. Did you bring a flashlight? I'll get one here..."
"I've got it, I'll leave first."
Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand from his sleeve and turned on the flashlight in his hand.
It was cold, and his hands were tucked into his sleeves. Only the light of the flashlight came out through the cuffs, illuminating the road one or two meters ahead.
I really don’t want to code, but I have to do it for life. I don’t know how long I’m stuck on one chapter.
Chapter completed!
