"She's a fat girl, lazy and greedy. She hasn't gotten up yet." Lin Xiuqing said with a smile.
He led them all into the house and asked the old lady to quickly wake up Ye Yaodong.
She poured them hot tea again, made some arrangements, and talked to them.
"It's enough for people to come. Why do you bring things with you? You're so polite..."
"It's the New Year's Eve, that's right. Who goes to other people's houses to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed during the New Year's Eve? There's nothing good, they're just things you can buy every day, just for the kids to sweeten."
"You're so polite. Have you had breakfast? Do you want some? There's nothing unusual about farm dishes..."
"No, no, no, we have eaten, and we are here to do serious business. A Dong hasn't gotten up yet, right? We did come a little early, it was only around seven o'clock..."
"He was lazy. He came back very late from playing cards last night. You guys should sit down and drink some tea and take a rest. It's time for him to get up."
Ye Yaodong was woken up by the old lady in his sleep. He was still confused at first, but when he heard the leader coming, he immediately woke up and quickly sat up and put on his clothes.
At this time, I don’t feel cold anymore, I don’t dawdle anymore, and I don’t have to rely on willpower to get up. I feel extra numb.
He scratched his hair, which he washed on the 29th of the year, and felt regretful. If he had known better, he would have cut it short, so as not to wake up with his hair sticking up everywhere. Director Chen came so early, and he didn't have time to take care of himself.
Fortunately, his overall appearance is already the best, so he doesn't look too bad.
Compared with the people in the village, he considers himself to be the best among worms now!
As soon as I opened the door and went out, I saw a group of seven or eight men and women sitting around. Except for Director Chen and his wife, everyone else was very young, probably his children or daughter-in-law.
He immediately said hello with a smile, "Good morning, sorry for getting up late..."
"We came early. We thought we would visit relatives in the afternoon, so we came here early."
Ye Yaodong was afraid that if he didn't brush his teeth when he got up, his breath would smell to others, so he was too embarrassed to get close.
"You guys sit down and rest for a while. I'll wash up first. Sorry."
"Take care of yourself first. Don't worry. We have been riding all the way and we just need to take a break and drink some water."
"good."
He hurriedly went to wash up, and at the same time called his two sons who suddenly ran home to watch the fun, and whispered: "Go and call your grandma over, tell the boss to come to the house."
Yangyang, the youngest one, was naturally the one who was ordered. He didn't refuse, he agreed and immediately ran out.
Several nieces and nephews came over curiously and stood in the yard to look around.
Ye Chenghai asked curiously: "Third uncle, why are the leaders here here during the Chinese New Year? I haven't seen them for a long time."
"We'll find out later. Go out first. Don't come over and get in the way if you have nothing to do."
Ye Yaodong touched his pocket, gave each of them 5 cents, and sent them to play.
"Ye Chenghu is staying. He can't go anywhere. Come with me to see the leader. The same goes for Yangyang. Let's talk to him when we get back."
"oh."
"I understand, Third Uncle."
After receiving the money, they all happily left first, but they were also curious about what was going on, so they didn't want to run out to play. They all stood in the corner with their ears pricked up, waiting to hear any movement.
Ye Chenghu was originally a little unhappy when he heard that he was going to stay and others could go out to play, but when he heard their voices talking in the corner, he felt a little proud. It would be better if he could listen directly.
I simply brushed my teeth, washed my face, dipped a little water in my hand, applied it to my hair, and then smoothed it down.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Director Chen has brought many new-faced comrades. Haha, they all look energetic and beautiful. They are worthy of being from the city."
"These are my sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law." Director Chen introduced the staff one by one and told him their positions.
Ye Yaodong looked down at Ye Chenghu and felt that he was too helpless!
Look at other people's children, then look at his...
It's better to lead Ye Xiaoxi.
No matter how bad Ye Chengyang is, he can at least look smarter, unlike him, who looks stupid and can't even bark.
But there is nothing he can do, who could let this be his stupid son.
He had no choice but to chuckle, put his arm around Ye Chenghu's shoulders, introduce his eldest son, and then ran to call his parents after talking about his younger son.
And his little daughter was still sleeping soundly and hadn't gotten up yet.
"Let the child sleep before he wakes up. There is no need to wake him. The child is growing, so he needs to sleep more."
"Two days ago, I told them that I wanted to find a godson, and I introduced you to them."
"They all said that as long as I have a good eye, a good rapport, and no problem with my ideological and moral character, it will be fine, but they have to come over first and have a look. If there are no problems, let's have lunch together and settle the matter."
Ye Yaodong smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I am loyal to the people and the party. I dare not say that I have a noble character, but it is okay to be filial to my parents, respect the elderly, and abide by the law."
They all smiled and nodded, saying a few polite words.
"It's probably your first time to come to our village. Maybe I'll take you for a walk around the village to get to know our village. By the way, we can also chat while walking and learn more about it. After all, you can't see anything while sitting here.
.After you go out, you can also bask in the sun, take a walk, and get to know the customs and people of the village."
Director Chen nodded appreciatively, "Okay, go out for a walk and feel the New Year atmosphere in your village."
Ye Yaodong suddenly didn't want to take them out for a walk...
There are gambling tables everywhere in the village...
During the Chinese New Year, the whole village turns into a gambling dog. The usual hard work and hard work have long since disappeared.
Lin Xiuqing also stood up and said with a smile: "You take the leaders and comrades out for a walk first. I will cook some snacks for everyone first. Remember to come back to eat later."
No matter when guests come to your home, you must prepare snacks to welcome them, especially during the Chinese New Year.
"No need to bother, we just had breakfast..."
"It's no trouble, that's right. If you don't cook a few bowls of snacks for the guests, just let my wife do the work. I'll take you out for a walk. When you get tired from walking later, you'll just come back to take a rest and have some snacks to cushion your stomach.
.”
As Ye Yaodong said that, he led them out and first introduced to them that his house was built by three brothers, each with one room.
Then he first introduced his two brothers to them.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua, who were having breakfast, also came out quickly and joined them to keep them company.
When distinguished guests come to the door, most of the brothers in the family have to help greet them, making the host appear more hospitable.
When they walked out of the house, Father Ye and Mother Ye happened to run over and say hello.
The neighbors were very curious when they saw such a large group of them gathered at the door, and they all asked about the Ye family children who were falling behind.
Ye Chengjiang and others hurriedly talked about everything they knew.
It's just that what we know is limited, and we don't know what this group of people are here for. Ye Yaodong and the others didn't explain it clearly in the room just now.
As Ye Yaodong walked, he introduced his parents to them and said that Ye's mother worked in the village committee and was a director of the Women's Federation.
Mother Ye smiled, her back straightened up, this was her pride.
Even though their village is not particularly big, it still has hundreds of households and is considered a large village nearby. There are several natural villages around it that are under the management of their village.
He also said that Father Ye is now helping the three brothers take turns sailing the ship. Before the production team was disbanded, he was also the old helmsman of the production team.
Speaking of this, he also pointed at the large number of fishing boats on the beach.
"Of the three largest boats in the middle of the sea, the one in the middle is mine, the one on the left is a partnership between me and my brother-in-law's family, and the one on the right is a partnership between the three of us brothers."
"In order to provide a pension security for my parents, the three brothers each only hold 30% of the shares, and specially allocate 10% of the dry shares to my parents for their retirement. Of course, the salary for sailing the ship is also provided separately."
After hearing this, they all nodded appreciatively and gave a thumbs up. They all praised the three brothers for their filial piety and that they did not forget to give the elderly a share when they made money.
On the other hand, he was involved in all three ships and was not that surprised. Director Chen probably also talked about his current achievements at home.
Father Ye's face was also glowing, knowing why the leader came here.
His three sons have given him a lot of pride, and their filial piety has given him more confidence, and he can proudly straighten his back when facing his leaders.
Since he had pointed out the fishing boat to them, of course he took them to the dock first.
After walking around outside the pier, it's not too late to walk into the village.
Behind them were a group of children and a few curious adults who wanted to hear what they were saying and talking about.
Ye Yaodong led a group of people through two workshops first. He took everyone in for a walk, took a look, introduced what they were doing, and adjusted his inventory for them.
The key point is that those goods were accumulated based on the catches of his own three boats and the scattered collection of some goods.
After visiting the workshop, he led people outside the pier. At this time, the fishing boats docked on the shore were lined up neatly.
Today is only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there are no fishing boats out to sea yet. We have worked hard all year, and everyone plans to have a good New Year.
As long as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is not celebrated, the New Year is not over for them. There are also some hard-working families who go to sea after the seventh day of the lunar month.
Everyone looked at the large and small fishing boats lined up in an orderly manner on the sea, and they all realized that Ye Yaodong really should not be underestimated.
Father Ye also tried his best to say good things to Ye Yaodong.
"More than half of the large fishing boats here, regardless of size, originally belonged to Dongzi. However, Dongzi felt that the small boats were not useful, so he only used them once after buying them, and then gave them back to the villagers at half the price."
"He also specially donated two small wooden boats to the village committee for kelp farming. Now the kelp in the village has grown, and everyone is looking forward to next year's harvest, which will bring hope to the whole village."
"Dongzi always said that we should follow the party's policy. Individual prosperity drives collective prosperity. He believed that dried kelp is easy to preserve and transport. If our village can successfully breed kelp, there will be a breeding industry and the village will become rich.
It’s not far.”
Director Chen looked at Ye Yaodong in surprise, "Why didn't you say that you still support kelp farming in the village? You are a smart person with a flexible mind. If everyone is as enlightened as you, can the collective economy continue to rise far?"
"Haha, I'm actually just talking. It's everyone's credit that kelp can be cultivated, and it's inseparable from the support of the village committee. The village cadres have vision and believe me, so they can do it. It's only the early stage now, what are the details?
We have to wait until next year's harvest, and it's a bit early to say this now..."
Ye Yaodong was modest, but he did not forget to praise the village cadres.
Director Chen's children also looked at Ye Yaodong with admiration. It was rare for him to make money on his own and think about the collective.
He is truly filial, has a sense of collective honor, and is humble.
Ye Mu also showed off again, "Look at those larger fishing boats, blue and white, with numbers on the hull. Those are Dongzi's boats. There are 16 of them here, and one is said to be delivered before the end of the year.
But I haven’t paid it yet, so I’ll probably be able to drive it back in two days.”
"17?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... there are too many boats. This is the first time I heard that someone has so many boats. There were not so many fishing teams in the past, and most of them were small boats." said Director Chen's eldest son Chen Guoping, who works at the Electricity Bureau.
.
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought that if I had money, I would buy a boat. We seasiders rely on the sea to eat, and boats are our lifeblood. We don't have to worry about starving to death if we have a boat. My wife
She is worried about me buying other things, but when it comes to buying a boat, she feels very confident."
Father Ye added: "The renting of Dongzi's boats has also improved the lives of many people in the village. My relatives have also increased their income a lot by renting his boats. My relatives at home and in the village have also improved their lives."
There is no one in the village who does not praise him."
"Didn't he get a piece of foreign JD equipment some time ago? Everyone on the boat benefited from it, and everyone in the village was envious. In those days, people came to ask questions every day, wanting to work for him, hahaha..."
The more Father Ye talked about it, the happier he became, "He has other ships, but they haven't been delivered yet by the factory. If he waits for next year, he can have a bigger fresh-harvesting ship. What do you call that one-stop ship?"
"Is there still a boat?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and nodded, "Ships can create profits, they also need to recruit workers, and they can also give the villagers more work."
Director Chen said in amazement: "It seems that most of the people in this village have to rely on you to support them."
"That's not the case. Everyone relies on their own efforts to support themselves."
Everyone was extremely satisfied after hearing this.
Ye Yaodong took them for a walk outside the pier and let them take a look at his ship. After knowing that it was not a poor settlement, he took them back.
While walking, I also introduced the Thean Hou Temple next to the pier.
Director Chen also had a lot of say in the Thean Hou Temple, and he worked hard. When the Thean Hou Temple was completed, he also came to have a drink.
He took the initiative to introduce it to his children and said that he would come over next year to have a peace feast.
When everyone walked to the intersection near the door of his house again, Ye Yaodong hurriedly invited them to go home to have snacks first, and then go for a walk in the village after eating the snacks.
There were so many people that they walked slowly, and they also chatted while walking and stayed outside the pier for a while. At this time, Lin Xiuqing had already prepared snacks. She was worried that the soup would get cold, so she covered it with a washbasin.
During the Chinese New Year, she prepared longevity noodles cooked with wine. The soup was filled with dried shrimps, mushrooms, meat, pork liver, rice wine, and a dozen poached eggs and set aside for later use.
She was afraid that if the noodles were cooked in advance and people didn't come back soon, they would be burnt.
So cook the ingredients and noodles separately. Boil the ingredient soup first and put it in a large basin.
And she kept looking at the door. After watching people walking towards the door of her house, she immediately got off the pot and boiled the noodles.
Just put the longevity noodles in boiling water and blanch them, then pick them out, put them in bowls, pour the soup and ingredients on them, and they will be ready to eat as soon as people enter the house without burning their mouths.
Ye Yaodong woke up early in the morning and went out with them for a walk without eating. He was also very hungry, so he could fill his stomach first before taking them out to the village.
While they were eating snacks, the village chief and several other cadres also got the news and quickly called one by one and came to his house together.
Lin Xiuqing quickly prepared to light a fire and continue working, cooking snacks for the village cadres.
"There's no need to worry about us. We've just had breakfast and we're not guests. We heard that the leader was coming, so we came here specifically to accompany him."
"Yes, don't worry about us, just take care of the leader."
Director Chen smiled and shook hands with them one by one, introduced his children, and then chatted while eating.
After they finished their snacks and walked towards the village, the team seemed even larger.
Ye Yaodong, Ye's father and Ye's mother also reduced their opportunities to talk, and asked the village cadres to introduce them to the village's customs, the appearance of the fishing village, and by the way, they also praised Ye Yaodong in various ways.
None of them are human beings anymore.
When I knew that the leader had brought a large family to Ye Yaodong's house, I knew that their relationship was very close. They had to flatter and praise them as much as they needed to.
Ye Yaodong was also happy and relaxed.
What you hear from a third party is more credible than what you hear from his own mouth.
These old fritters are also better at talking.
After Ye Yaodong entered the village, he looked at the red paper from firecrackers everywhere on the ground in the village. He felt relieved when he saw that there were no tables.
That's right, who gambles money as soon as they open their eyes in the morning?
You have to wait until eight or nine o'clock, when the sun is high, to have a few tables for playing cards, and the big tables for gambling basically have to wait until after lunch.
Although there are few entertainment activities now, and during the Chinese New Year, people are playing cards and gambling everywhere, but gambling tables are opened everywhere in the village, and it is not good if it is too blatant for the leaders to see.
As he walked, he thought about it. He was accompanied by village cadres and walked around the whole village. Everyone knew that there was an unusual person coming.
Today the dogs will probably wink a little more and won't be so blatant. They will probably cover up a bit and move home to play.
Ye Yaodong easily put his hand on Ye Chenghu's shoulder, followed him and listened, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
"Dad, why am I following you here? Can I leave?"
"Why are you walking? If others want to follow you, they won't have the chance to follow you. They can only stay far behind. Cherish it. You are my eldest son. Look at how I have trained you since childhood."
Staying with people with status and seeing more is also a kind of experience, and you will be able to make some progress in the future.
Ye Chenghu didn't want to follow him. Is there anything in the whole village that he hadn't visited? It was too boring to follow him slowly like this. He might as well chase and play with his friends.
However, when Ye Yaodong pointed out to him the villagers surrounding them, he immediately relaxed his brows, straightened his back, and felt that he had gained more face.
The village cadres led a group of them to visit the entire village from beginning to end, and then led everyone to the village committee to sit, talk, and take a rest.
Director Chen smiled and said: "I came here today actually because I wanted to meet my godson. I have known A Dong for several years, and we have always been very close to each other and have frequent contacts. I checked with my husband and he said that his horoscope will make me prosperous, so
I just took the children at home for a trip and let them get to know each other."
"It just so happens that you are all here, so you can bear witness together, haha..."
After walking all the way, he knew that his children must have no objections, so he went straight to the point and talked about it in front of everyone.
"Are we married? The leader wants to accept A Dong as his adopted son?"
"Good guy, are you attracted by the leader?"
Everyone was surprised.
When they heard that the leader brought many people to Ye Yaodong's house, they were very surprised. If Ye Yaodong was visiting during the Chinese New Year, no leader would be so condescending as to come and see him.
It is even more impossible to go to someone else's house to ask for a crime. Who would go to someone else's house during the Chinese New Year to cause trouble?
"New Year's Day", these four words are not just words.
This is a famous four-character motto, and it is not against the law to say that it is the Chinese people's gold medal to avoid death.
Director Chen said: "Haha, what do you mean by liking or not liking us? Even if we are in love, the children at home don't see each other a few times throughout the year. A Dong is very caring and often comes to see us. Our character
Well, I can trust him and have been with him for three years."
Secretary Chen echoed and praised: "Yes, A Dong's character is beyond praise. He is loyal to his friends, generous to his employees, he has the collective in mind, and he also respects us old guys. He is a good young man."
The village chief also smiled and said: "Yes, the villagers have made a lot of money and benefited from working with him in the past few years."
"So later everyone will also serve as witnesses, oh yes, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law have no objections, right?"
How can Father Ye and Mother Ye have any disagreement?
The leader even called me "Big Brother" and "Sister-in-law", which made them laugh so hard.
If Ye Yaodong is adopted by the leaders as their godson, they will all be proud.
There are many gods in Fujian Province, and it is popular to worship various gods and spirits as adopted sons.
It doesn’t matter if the children of other families worship gods and Buddhas as their adopted sons, some worship big trees as their adopted sons, some even worship stones as their adopted sons, and some even worship a river.
Dongzi is now the adoptive son of the leader, and he is said to be very prosperous, but in the future, he will actually have someone to protect him, so that everything he does will go more smoothly.
Originally, everyone in the village had to give him some respect and greet him warmly when they met him, but it didn't matter if he walked out. After they got married, they really had someone's support worthy of the name.
The shops in the city and the completed construction sites, especially the construction sites, can also start to be used. Otherwise, little Karami, who has no background in anything, can't do anything.
As long as you do it, then just wait and get the card, any sesame mung bean official can torment him to death.
It's different now. If anyone wants to mess with him, he has to give Director Chen a bit of a thumbs-down.
"We don't have any objections. Dongzi mentioned it to us years ago. His mother and I both think it's good. In the past, Dongzi relied on the help and promotion of his leaders to be able to go smoothly..."
"That's not the case. He relied entirely on himself. I didn't do anything to help him. I just reported his achievements realistically. On the contrary, he helped me a lot. Your son is very promising."
Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Now I'll share half of it with you."
Ye Yaodong also said happily: "The good tea I got from my father-in-law has finally come in handy. I will serve you tea when I get home later."
"Okay, let's go, go to your house, and drink the tea first."
"Okay."
A group of people just got their butts warmed up and chatted for a while before standing up again and heading to Ye Yaodong's house.
Ye Chenghu asked in a low voice: "Dad, are you a grown-up godson? Am I a grown-up godson?"
"That's what it sounds like, but if you are too hopeless and useless, then you are nothing."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I just want to ask, will there be a red envelope later? Do I have to say no? Let you adults push it around?"
The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. What is this?
He turned his palm upward and tapped his head with his five curved fingers.
"You idiot, you can't accept the red envelope even if it's available. You have to be sensible and polite. You can only accept it when the adults say you can accept it."
"I know, you have always been like this in the past. You have to push, push, and pull for a long time before you can accept it. I just want to know if there is a red envelope."
"Do I usually need you to eat? Or do I need you to drink? Shut your mouth and give me a red envelope. I will give you a red envelope during the Chinese New Year. I will also confiscate your piggy bank."
"no."
"Shut up."
Ye Yaodong glared at his silly son, then turned around and put on a smile again.
A large group of people chatted and laughed and returned to Ye Yaodong's house.
Lin Xiuqing had already started to arrange lunch. There were more than a dozen people, plus her own family and village cadres, there were twenty or thirty people, so there were three tables.
There wasn't enough pot, so she went to borrow a big pot from next door and set it up in the yard to cook.
Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye also came over to help her organize things.
As soon as Ye Yaodong entered the yard, he called Lin Xiuqing, "Qing, please stop working and come into the house with me."
"Ah, what's the matter? I have to prepare lunch, there are so many people."
"In this moment, take off the apron first."
"oh."
Lin Xiuqing didn't know, so she took off her apron first, put it on the stool, and then followed him into the house.
Ye Yaodong walked beside and whispered: "It's settled, let's make tea and serve tea to our godfather and godmother."
"Oh well."
She wasn't too surprised, nor was she too happy. Anyway, it was whatever he said, and all she had to do was smile.
Ye Mu took the lead to make tea.
Everyone in the room stood and watched the excitement. The small space was full of people, with smiles on everyone's faces. Only Director Chen and Jin Yuzhi were sitting there.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing knelt down after receiving a bowl of tea.
"Daddy, godmother, please have tea!"
Chapter completed!
