Father Ye and Mother Ye have been staying at his house and have not left. They also want to wait for him and see if he can come back today.
I waited from dawn to dusk. I felt very disappointed, but I still wanted to sit there for a while, just in case I missed it and didn't see it when I came back.
Unexpectedly, they really waited for Dongzi to come back.
Everyone stood at the door and watched him being surrounded by the children, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"It'll be good when you come back, it'll be good when you come back..."
"It's okay."
Father Ye and Mother Ye said one after another.
The old lady prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless her because she had been chanting sutras in her room.
After hearing the noise, he came out a step slower, leaning on a cane, trembling slightly, and squeezed in front of them, wiping his tears and saying.
"Amitabha, I'm finally back. It's good to be back. Bodhisattva bless me. I'm scared to death."
"I'm fine. I told you that I'm fine when I left. I was just reported for opportunism. This doesn't fit in with me. It has nothing to do with me. Anyone who inquires will know that I was wrongly accused and reported indiscriminately.
, it will be a matter of time before I come back."
"That's what I say, but I'm also worried. If this charge of speculation is found out, I'll be jailed. No matter how serious it is, I might be jailed. How can I not worry about it?"
Lin Xiuqing had been worried for a long time. When she saw him coming back, her brows relaxed and there was a smile on her face.
After Ye Xiaoxi saw him, she kept twisting her body and rushed towards him to hug her. He also took the child and kissed her cheek.
She hugged his neck tightly and cried softly, "Rake..."
Brother Ye and Brother Ye were both relieved, and they both said repeatedly: "It will be good when we come back..."
Neighbors on the left and right also gathered around and said a few words of concern.
"Back..."
"Just say it's none of your business. I'll definitely put it back after you ask clearly."
"It's pretty quick. It's okay. It's okay. Your whole family is worried."
"Everyone said you must be fine... It will be good if you come back well..."
Ye Yaodong thanked his neighbors and said that nothing happened to him, so he followed his family into the house first.
Lin Xiuqing felt energetic all of a sudden, and also felt a little hungry. She asked, "Have you eaten yet? I'll cook some noodles. No one ate at night because they were all worried."
"Did you call Director Chen?" He asked the questions he had along the way.
What a coincidence. Not long after he was taken to the border station, Director Chen called immediately and said he believed him by name.
Someone must have informed him, thinking that Director Chen had given him a note with a series of numbers before, asking him to call if anything happened, and he asked Ah Qing to keep it.
I just thought that Ah Qing must have thought of it, so he called Director Chen and asked him to recruit people.
"Yes, I called Director Chen this afternoon..."
Seeing that they had something to say, Mother Ye quickly took over the task of cooking noodles, "I'll cook, I'll cook, you guys talk..."
Lin Xiuqing did not refuse, handed the fire tongs to Ye Mu, walked to the table, and asked curiously: "Did Director Chen call the border defense station and ask them to release the person?"
"almost……"
He told them about Director Zhang's visit when the confession was being taken, and told them in an understated way that if he didn't call Director Chen, the border guard would release him after questioning, so there was no big difference.
"The fight was in vain, and the trouble of calling the border guard station was in vain..."
Seeing that she was a little confused, Ye Yaodong comforted her and said, "Actually, the fight is not in vain. At least if you fight, you will have somewhere to put your hope, so you won't be so worried, and you will have more confidence, and you can feel more at ease."
"Besides, it's just a phone call away, so it's not too much trouble. Maybe this phone call can also increase the contact between us."
"I'll see when I go to the county next time. I'll pay them a visit and thank them properly. Wouldn't this give me another chance to interact with each other?"
"It's good. Only when you come and go can you last forever. Otherwise, I wouldn't have an excuse to come to visit you. It would be rude to come to your door for no reason."
Lin Xiuqing was relieved, "That's good, I thought the call was in vain."
Father Ye also nodded, "I have to thank them properly. Regardless of whether I helped or not, at least they took care of me."
"Tomorrow, you also go to the border post again, buy something to send to them, and maintain our relationship. Judging from the way you talked this afternoon, you are quite familiar with each other, so it's not surprising that there are so many people."
"Let me take a look. It's not A Guang who wants to sail the boat at night..."
The old lady grabbed his hand and said, "Just ask your father to go for you. Everyone has been frightened by what he has done today. You should either rest at home for a day tomorrow and don't go to sea."
"And Aguang's side said it would take two or three days, three or four days, which is too long. Just don't go now and go back next time."
This situation has just arisen, so it would be better to settle down at home for a few days. After all, going to sea is quite risky.
Father Ye also agreed, "Yes, I will go with A Guang's boat tomorrow. You can stay at home to rest for a day and pick up the goods at the dock. There are also goods from A Guang's family. Help him pick up the goods."
Ye Yaodong frowned, a little unhappy. He felt that what happened in the afternoon had no impact on him, and he was not injured. His mood was just a little affected, but he was not the one driving the boat when going to sea.
Mother Ye also said: "Listen to your father, just rest at home for a day. They don't need any manpower anyway. We'll go back next time."
"If you show your face in the village tomorrow, you may make the person who reported it mad. He was taken away just in the afternoon and came back before dark, which will directly make people's hopes come to nothing."
Ah Qing and his eldest and second brothers also persuaded him to let him rest at home for a day. After all, he had suffered for no reason, and there was no rush to go to sea at this time.
"It just so happens that the ship comes back in the early morning. We can also use this to send the cakes to the border post. You really have to go there. By the way, you can buy some cigarettes, alcohol, or canned biscuits to add some toppings."
"No one else can do this job, and the time tomorrow is just right, so it won't be too abrupt when it comes to your door. It's justifiable and I'm very happy."
Ye Mu quickly agreed, "Yes, I will have some extra cakes left over from the cake tomorrow, and I will leave a basket back for you to send when you wake up."
He was right when he thought about it. It was only him who could send things to the border post. No one else could do it, so he had no choice but to deal with it.
Forget it, he might as well save his great luck for the big ship waiting for him, instead of joining in the fun on A Guang's ship.
Floating on the sea for a few days is quite boring. Anyway, he will know the harvest when they come back in a few days.
After the conversation came to an end, Ye Yaodong remembered the pack of maltose he had bought in his pocket, and quickly took it out and distributed it to several children.
From the moment they entered the house, they stood obediently in the corner and listened to the adults talking. They also knew that the third uncle's trip would make everyone in the family worried, and they all had something to say, so they couldn't make any noise.
Now there was maltose to eat, and everyone was very happy, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became lively again.
Ye Xiaoxi held her piece of maltose, her eyes widened with smiles, but she had six teeth in the front, so she could only keep licking it, and her hands were covered with saliva.
But the adults didn't have time to pay attention to her. At this moment, they all began to guess who reported it.
Ye Yaodong was also puzzled. He had offended many people, but if he was asked to guess, he could only guess at the person he had offended recently.
After all, the time card was just right, so he had to think more.
"Do you think it was Lao Wang's family who reported it?" Lin Xiuqing asked thoughtfully.
"That's my guess, but who knows, after all, we just... had a holiday."
He almost said that he had just beaten the whole family, but luckily he stopped it quickly.
"That could be a rat. If you don't care about his medical bills, he won't be able to make any money for the next few months."
"How can I report him if he has inconvenient legs and feet? His mother-in-law and I just had a fight. His wife is looking at their eyes, which are not eyes, and their nose, which is not a nose. He can't instruct his wife."
"It's possible that my wife secretly wrote a letter of report to report it."
"It's possible."
"Then it's probably the fault of Old Wang's family." Mother Ye slapped her thigh hard and said angrily, "It's because they have a bad heart and a rotten intestine. There is no good person in the family."
"He also reported it to his mother. I really thought it was just a few years ago that a random reporting letter could torture someone to death. It's so unethical. It's really unethical."
"The whole family should be beaten until they can't even get out of bed. They are a bunch of evil-hearted people who will act like ghosts if they don't behave..."
"It doesn't hurt, mother. I see you slapping your thigh from time to time every day."
The hard slap and snap from his mother just now made him feel pain, and he was so cruel to himself.
"I'm angry."
"Your mother is used to taking pictures. If it still hurts, she probably has calluses." Father Ye relaxed and had a rare moment of black humor.
However, Ye Mu rolled her eyes and said, "Eat more, talk less, come over quickly and help serve the noodles, why are you sitting there waiting for someone to serve you?"
Father Ye immediately stood up and went to help.
Lin Xiuqing thought for a while and said: "I think it is possible that Xu with a broken hand came to the rich family. After all, our family has had conflicts with others."
"Last year, real and fake ambergris were labeled as real and fake. Maybe they have been holding a grudge and want to find some excuse for us. I heard that you are going to sail again tomorrow, and I am even more jealous."
"It's possible. I've offended a lot of people. There are also other villages. Ah Qiu from the next village is just a bit crazy. I heard that he invited a dancing master to come over and he seems to have gotten better again."
"Or maybe there are pinkeyes in other villages..."
"Then there's no need to guess. If you continue to guess like this, people from all over the country will be able to guess."
"I don't know who I offended, being so wicked."
Mother Ye urged them, "Eat first. What's the use of just guessing? Eat quickly. I'll stop by A Guang's house later and tell them that you're back."
"Well, by the way, I'll go on Dongzi's behalf tonight."
"knew."
