After coming back for more than a week, he managed to handle all the big and small things at home and outside, and then started to live a leisurely life.
Every day I sleep until I wake up naturally and then get up to eat. Then I move a stool and sit at the door to enjoy the sun and play cards, or look at my children before eating.
Life was very comfortable.
He felt that this was how he lived his life. Before, he was running around outside, which was not a life. He was just working like a cow and a horse, never stopping for a moment.
Even if I don't go to sea, my spirit is always tense. I can't be as relaxed as I am now.
And these days, the village is full of people, with a large number of children running around and shouting, and young people coming and going in twos and threes, looking full of vitality.
Unlike in the future, as everyone has gone to the city, only middle-aged and elderly people can be seen in rural areas, and young people can no longer be seen. They are lifeless.
There are even few children. They are either sent to the city for education, or they are very small left-behind children. They are not as wild and energetic as the children of this age.
Moreover, the weather has been good recently, so people are visiting everywhere to chat. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone goes to the market every now and then. There are more people and vendors in the village.
This is called the flavor of the year.
Ye Chengjiang squats in front of his house every day before dawn, waiting to learn how to ride a motorcycle. His father does the same, coming over before dawn to teach him.
Ye Chenghai also benefited from it. He didn't have to wait for a rest day to study. He got up before dawn and studied for a few hours before going to work.
One teaches seriously and the other studies diligently. In just two days, the area around them has become the liveliest place in the village, and both of them can drive around several times.
Even if he went on the road, he still didn't dare to let them drive out, so he let them ride it near the door of his house to practice.
Father Ye is immersed in it every day, full of energy, as if he has a second spring in his life. The smile on his face has never gone away. He wears his gold ring every day with a glowing face. The gold necklace is too thick, so he doesn’t dare to wear it.
.
Ye Yaodong felt that it was right to leave the job of teaching his children to drive motorcycles to his father.
His father has become the most prosperous old man among the middle-aged people in the village. A bunch of grandchildren surround him all day long, and he can't stop smiling.
No, he had just woken up when he heard several nieces pestering Father Ye to take them around on a motorcycle.
Father Ye happily responded and asked everyone to take turns sitting in the carriage.
He carried a large bowl of porridge with pickles piled on top and squatted at the door, eating while looking at his father's graceful appearance.
There were a lot of children around chasing the motorcycle and screaming, and those who fell immediately got up and continued chasing. The excitement was comparable to chasing stars.
Father Ye did not dare to drive too fast, so he rode slowly for two laps and took the children at home to have fun. There were too many children around, and they were all chasing each other. It would be easy to bump into them if they were not careful.
"How do you pair it with pickled mustard? At least it should be paired with some sea cucumber and abalone." Tuesday, who was watching the card game, said jokingly with a smile.
Ye Yaodong picked up a piece of mustard and chewed it loudly, "So you always eat porridge with sea cucumber and abalone? Then I can't bring it to your house to eat?"
"Haha, how can I afford it?"
"I can't even afford it anymore. I'm in debt. I owe the bank 200,000 yuan. Where can I eat sea cucumbers and abalone? It's good to eat with pickled mustard. It doesn't cost anything. It's my family's standard dish."
Zhou Da said jokingly: "Then my food is better, and it comes with shrimp skin."
Ye Yaodong also joked: "Oh, that won't work. I have to sell it for money. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat."
"When did you go to the city?" Ye Yaopeng asked.
"Me? I don't know, what are you doing?"
"I want to say that if you go to the city, we will take your car or your boat to go there. If you don't go, forget it. It's not necessary to go anyway."
"What do you want to do? You should go there once or twice before the year, right?"
He planned to take his children to the city to play, buy some New Year's goods, and then visit his godfather.
I'll go there again when the Chinese New Year holiday is about to come, check the workshop's general ledger, pick up all the workers and take them back for the New Year break, and by the way, I'll also pick up my godfather and stepmother and take them back to the county town.
At least I have to make two more trips, but today is only the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, so I’m not in a hurry. It would be better to wait until the early twenties when the twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the city will have a more festive feel.
"Well then, let's go with you. Let's go shopping together and buy some New Year's goods. It's rare that we can have a good year this year. We are not familiar with the city, otherwise we would go alone."
"Okay, by the way, if I go, it will be around the 20th of the twelfth lunar month."
"That doesn't matter."
Ye Yaohua also said: "If you are going, tell me, and your second sister-in-law and I will also go shopping."
"Okay, you can bring your children here to see the world, otherwise you will just be active in the village every day."
"Haha, that's fine. It's the Chinese New Year. Let's go out to see the world and make them happy."
The group of children were still running wildly around the motorcycle, not knowing that another good thing was coming from the sky.
When they asked adults for money to buy snacks, they looked in disbelief and overjoyed when they found out.
"Really? Really? Are you taking us to the city to play in a few days? Really?"
"Can we go too? It's not just my brother, right? We also have a share, right?"
The two daughters of Ye Yaohua's family held each other's hands excitedly, some of them couldn't believe what they were hearing.
Originally, they thought they could embolden each other and came together to ask his father for money to buy food.
The more people there are, the better your chances of getting money!
For no money, one more person can share the risk of being scolded.
Sister-in-law Ye said: "It's fake, don't go."
"It must be true. Mom, you are lying, but dad will not lie to us."
"Then you are not allowed to buy firecrackers like your brother every day. Save your money and go to the city to buy things, otherwise you will not have money to buy them."
"knew!"
"Ah ah ah, great, we are going to the city. We are also going to the city to play."
"Brother...Dad said he would take us to the city to play..."
Ye Jingjing shouted excitedly. When the boys heard about it, they all jumped up and sprinted over 100 meters to confirm.
Some, even if they were not their own children, rushed over to join in the fun.
After Ye Chenghu rushed over, he pretended to be calm and said: "What's so exciting? I've been there several times and I don't even want to go."
Ye Yaodong said: "That's just right. If you don't want to go, just stay at home and look after the house. Otherwise, there will be no one to look after the house. You have to do something for the house at your age."
Ye Chenghu opened his mouth silently.
Ye Chengyang said happily: "Dad, if my brother doesn't go, I will go. He has gone too many times, and I only went once. You take my sister and I there. He stays at home with A Tai. He likes A Tai the most."
"
The old lady made him happy and said jokingly: "Okay, then let Chenghu stay at home with me."
Ye Chenghu looked sad and regretted that he had gone to Versailles. He said aggrievedly: "I...I want to go..."
"You've been there too many times. If there's anything to follow, don't go."
"Not many times. I only went once more than Yangyang did."
Ye Yaodong ignored him. Yangyang and the others were already so excited that they were surrounded by a bunch of children, who were extremely envious.
"Why are you so happy..."
"I can learn to ride a motorcycle and go to the city..."
"They also have delicious food, football, basketball, volleyball, badminton..."
"There are also cards..."
"There are also little books, they have many unseen little books..."
Ye Chenghu looked at the brothers and sisters who were surrounded by everyone and walked out with envy. He blamed him for his bad mouth. He regretted it in his heart. Why did he say what he meant?
He watched helplessly. He didn't get a confirmed reply from his father. How could he dare to leave now.
I'm afraid that after I leave, I will really leave him to look after the house.
And everyone has heard that his father doesn’t take him... it’s so shameful...
At this time, he didn't want to get into the crowd and see other people's proud faces!
"father……"
Ye Yaodong pretended not to hear, and Ye Chenghu also had to correct his mistakes.
His current net worth is really rich. Even if he does nothing and accumulates it for decades, it will be very impressive. He should be able to make his three children a little rich second generation.
If you ignore it and become arrogant and arrogant in the future, that's not okay. You still have to be humble and low-key as a person.
The reason why I didn't grow crookedly in my previous life was because I didn't have the conditions, but that may not be the case in this life. Now the three children have so much more than their peers, and naturally they have too much sense of superiority.
It is impossible for him to raise his children in poverty. Why should his own children have to endure hardships? It is not unconditional and they must endure hardships.
The reason he makes money is to make a good life for his family. At most, he can limit their spending and give what is due.
Moreover, the three children should not be too unfavorable to each other. When you love your daughter, you should also love your son.
It was impossible not to love his daughter. This child was something he owed in his previous life.
"father……"
Ye Chenghu stayed beside him and followed him step by step, calling him a few times from time to time to gain some sense of his presence, lest his father really forget about him and treat him as if he hadn't seen him.
"father……"
Ye Yaodong waited for Ye Chenghu to call him seven or eight times. The old lady couldn't stand it. She smiled and patted him, "Stop teasing him, take him with you. Everyone has gone, so just leave him at home."
Cry to death.”
Ye Chenghu looked like he wanted to cry or not, and nodded quickly.
Only then did Ye Yaodong glance at him, "How many points did you get in the final exam? I've been back for a week and I haven't seen you doing your homework."
"I……"
"There are still five or six days left. If you can finish your winter vacation homework within five or six days, I will take you there again. If you haven't finished it, don't think about it. Also, every exam next year, if you don't get 85 points
If you get above 95 points, you won’t get any gifts. If you get 95 points or above, I will ask your mother to reward you with 5 yuan every time.”
"What about Yangyang, why do you want me to finish my homework..."
"What score did he get on the winter vacation?"
Ye Chenghu didn't dare to say anything anymore and shrank his head, "I'll go do my homework right away."
He turned around, reluctantly looked at the excited and noisy people in the distance, moved slowly, and walked back home three times a step.
When he entered his yard and couldn't see anyone outside, he slapped himself several times and regretted it to death.
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he also went to the workshop to find Lin Xiuqing. He talked about his trip to the city in the next few days and also asked about the results of his two children. He had forgotten to ask after he had been back for several days.
In the past, he really didn't care that much. He just thought of it occasionally and thought about it. If he didn't know how to read, he wouldn't read it. He wouldn't die of hunger anyway.
I could have lived a good life in my previous life, and even if I was extremely poor, I could still afford a wife. There is no reason why I can't get one in this life.
But it's really different now. I'm really afraid that if the two succeed and fail, the family fortune he saved will be ruined, and then he will have to jump up and scold him when he is lying in the coffin.
Now he does not expect them to become elites, but they should not be uneducated or incompetent, and they should at least be hardworking and have a correct outlook on life.
"Ye Chenghu got 80 points on the exam, and he was even better at math with 83 points. I think he is in the third grade, and he is just so-so. I only said a few words and asked him to remember to write in the copybook every day. It seems that he has not written at all recently.
"
"Yangyang is quite good. He got 95 and 98 in Chinese and Mathematics. I praised him a few times, but Chenghu protested that the first grade was easy and said that he had scored 100 points in the exam and now the third grade is very difficult."
"How difficult can it be? I can tell at a glance. In fact, he can do it. He is just careless and not focused on studying."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I happen to have a lot of free time, so I'll keep an eye on him!"
"You only have three minutes to warm up. You said you want to practice calligraphy, but I haven't seen you write a few words. You just sit outside and bask in the sun every day."
"Ahem, I'll go back and write with him now."
Ye Yaodong also found a job and planned to go back and write with Ye Chenghu.
But before going back, he also called Ye Chengyang back.
You can't favor one over the other, you have to treat everyone equally. If the eldest brother does his homework, the second child also has to do it, and he also has to practice copywriting.
Ye Chenghu had been sitting down for almost half an hour, and he only wrote two words. His ears were perked up, listening to what was going on outside, and his buttocks were swaying back and forth as if they were greased.
Still seeing Ye Yaodong coming in from the yard, he sat upright and immediately picked up his pen to write again, writing two more words in a flying voice.
Ye Yaodong originally looked at his serious look and thought he had written a lot, but when he saw it, he slapped him on the back of the head.
"I've been back for a long time, and you just wrote these four characters? What did you write in the last two? Where did the six months of calligraphy practice go?"
He quickly erased it with an eraser and re-wrote it neatly, stroke by stroke.
"If you don't look good, don't go anywhere. Just write at home and I'll keep an eye on you every day. Anyway, I have a lot of free time."
He didn't dare to say a word when he felt aggrieved, he lowered his head and wrote honestly. If he had a pair of rabbit ears, they would have drooped down by now.
However, when he saw his father and Yangyang writing next to him with pens and paper, he cheered up again, cheered up, and gained the motivation to write again.
Now that he has company, he doesn't just have to go to jail alone.
After Ye Chengyang saw what happened to his brother, he was extremely honest and did whatever he was asked to do.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
However, after he finished writing, the two boys became less honest and began to make little moves and wink.
Ye Yaodong only knocked on the table, and they became honest again.
"Remember, I will go to the city in just five or six days. If you finish your homework, you can follow me. If you haven't finished your homework, you won't be able to follow me. I can't guarantee whether it will be five or six days. Anyway, it will be before I leave.
If you almost don't finish writing, I won't be accommodating."
Ye Chengyang felt nervous, "Dad, I..."
"You are a good boy, so you can follow him if you haven't finished writing. But if your brother hasn't finished writing, you can only sit in the house with him and supervise him these days, and you can't go out to play."
Ye Chengyang's facial features wrinkled up and he glared at Ye Chenghu fiercely, "Hurry up and write!"
"Take chicken feathers as arrows..."
After Ye Yaodong assigned the task, he didn't care about the two brothers. He didn't want to go to jail here, he just wanted them to fall in love and kill each other.
He went out to the door again and crossed his feet to bask in the sun.
But Aguang suddenly came over with his three children. He hadn't seen him for two days and didn't know how their loans were going. He immediately waved to Aguang.
A Guang first took out the two sons in the stroller and let them play by themselves, then sat down next to Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong looked at the brand new rattan chair and said with a smile: "Okay, this chair is good. I can push two of them at once."
"My dad worked on it for several days. It was convenient to have this chair. He also made a single chair for my brother."
"Hahaha... I'm younger than your son."
"Don't laugh. It's so embarrassing. When people ask me, I'm embarrassed to tell you. My dad still carries me out to show off every day."
"This proves that he is getting stronger with age. It's a man's face."
"Hey, that's great. I have an extra brother. It feels weird when I think about it."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about his younger brother, he just told him that he had a younger brother who was younger than his son, which sounded a bit funny.
He changed the subject and asked: "I haven't seen you in the past two days. Did you go to the city?"
"Yes, we discussed it with them the day before yesterday. We sailed to the city early yesterday morning and asked if the loan was available. If we have a certificate from the village and a certificate from the shipyard, they said it can be given to us.
A loan of 20,000 yuan, otherwise the loan would be 5,000 yuan at most, it really depends on what the person chooses."
"5000???" Ye Yaodong couldn't believe it, "A loan of 5000 is nothing."
"That is to say, some people can bring 100,000 or 200,000 casually, but we only have 5,000, which makes people angry. Fortunately, I asked more questions later, and they said that they have proof of assets, so
We can give you a bigger loan, but for our ship, the maximum is 20,000."
"If it's 20,000, that's fine."
"Yes, it's not a wasted trip, and we can get accurate information. And we happened to be in the city, so we immediately went to the shipyard to get a certificate, and then walked around a bit, and we came as soon as we came. Anyway,
It was still early, so I bought New Year’s goods in advance and didn’t come back until late last night.”
"Did the village prove the fight?"
"I'm going to get it done in the morning. I think it's almost noon. If I sail to the city at this time, I guess they won't be able to do it, which will delay my get off work. I might as well wait until the early morning before going to the city, and I'll be there tomorrow morning to submit the documents.
, go through the formalities.”
"That's fine. We'll review it before the year ends. You may be able to get a loan when you start working after the new year. As soon as the loan is released, you can go to the city to book a boat."
"That's what we think."
"The Chinese New Year is almost here, so it's not a good time to separate the family."
A Guang responded, "I know we can't separate the family in the first month of the year. We'll wait until February next year. Dongqing should also get married by then."
"Have you finished the blind date?"
"Ahem, my father wants her to marry Jianshe."
Ye Yaodong's eyes widened in surprise. He was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.
Is this the construction he had in mind?
The eldest son Aunt Ma brought here is called Jianshe.
"Who to marry? Which construction?"
Their village and the nearby villages all have people called Jianshe, three or five of them can be counted. Guang Jianqiang has two or three, including Jianguo, Jianjun, Jiangong, Jianye, and Jianxun.
He wondered whether he had heard wrongly or whether he was referring to the construction of other villages.
"It's the construction you're thinking of, the one Aunt Ma brought over, the one in my house."
Ye Yaodong patted his thigh and said, "Damn! It's true that the wealth does not go to outsiders. This... this idea... also... how can I put it? Two families merge into one? They are not outsiders? Absolutely."
He was still thinking about whose family the holly flowers would fall. After all, the young people in the whole village were drooling over them and showing their attentiveness every day.
With such a generous dowry and a strong natal family, it would be easy to marry any man, not to mention he is handsome, well-behaved, and quite capable.
Didn’t you expect that your own family would marry your own family?
This... this is a great idea. I don't know if it was Lao Pei who came up with it or Aunt Ma.
"Keep your voice down."
A Guang looked at the people around him looking at them curiously, and pulled Ye Yaodong to tell him not to be so excited.
"This is a really great idea. It's really no longer taking advantage of outsiders, it's all taking advantage of our own people? Who came up with this idea?"
"I don't know who came up with the idea. Anyway, my dad mentioned it, and Aunt Ma was laughing. Dongqing and Jianshe were both shocked. Let alone them, Huimei and I were shocked. There was no sign of it before."
"Who wouldn't be shocked? I originally thought they were siblings, but now they may be brought together as husband and wife. Fortunately, they don't live together. Aunt Ma's three children are still living in their own home before they get married, and they have not moved to your home.
"
"Yes, fortunately they didn't move into our house, and they didn't register with my family. They should stay at their own home, otherwise it would be hard to tell."
"When did you mention this? I didn't hear Huimei mention it two days ago. Jianshe is three or four years younger than Dongqing?"
Ye Yaodong was amazed, how awesome!
A few days ago, he was watching his mother messing around with the mandarin duck chart, and he was still thinking about who he would take advantage of, whether it was one of the people working in his workshop.
After all, we face each other day and night, and everyone is very attentive.
He didn't expect it, it shocked him, it was unexpected.
Aguang sighed, "Construction has turned 20, Dongqing is 23. Aunt Ma said that female juniors hold gold bricks. We have grown up together since we were young. We know the basics. There is nothing special about being three years older."
"It's time for Jianshe to get a wife, and Dongqing is getting a little too old..."
"Twenty-three years old is too old, and why did she delay it to this age? Didn't your father know it? It's not that you three have no one to help, so you all got married at a very young age, and isn't Aunt Ma pregnant this year?
?It took another whole year.”
"This is a small problem. My sister doesn't have to worry about getting married. There are many men begging her to marry her."
"What you said yesterday?"
"I said it during dinner the night before yesterday. Everyone was shocked. My father just asked them to think about it first and not to rush. After all, we all grew up together and are very familiar with each other. There is no need to cultivate relationships."
"It's true that it sounds like this. There is no one in your family's household registration. Even if Aunt Ma is married alone, and Dongqing is married again, it doesn't matter. It's just that this idea is really great!"
Ye Yaodong gave him a thumbs up again, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. Shouldn't this be taken seriously?
A Guang patted it down at once, "Stop talking, I'm extremely complicated myself. I think it's quite strange and my mood is a bit complicated."
"My sister is marrying you, and I feel quite complicated."
"Ahem, there's no need to make things complicated, and the good news won't go to outsiders."
"When a flower is stuck on cow dung, there are ten thousand draft horses in my heart."
Aguang punched him in the chest, "Don't mention it, we are probably in the same mood. I won't have complicated feelings about who I want to marry, but why did I mention Lin Jianshe! Mader?"
"Speaking of which, there is nothing wrong with him. He is very diligent and has a good eye. He has been helping our family with work for the past two years. If there is nothing extra, he does whatever he is told. My father only pays him wages and follows
Same as other workers."
"But I never thought that my father would eat shit. Didn't he say that he was the younger brother? This horse-riding person...is a dog..."
Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "Huimei didn't even come back to say a word about what happened the day before yesterday, and my mother didn't even know about it?"
"Huimei probably feels that it's not easy to talk about the fact that there are no characters in the eight characters. Otherwise, if it doesn't work out, people will have to pay attention to it. It will ruin Dongqing's reputation and think it has anything to do with Jianshe. After all, the status of Jianshe is very important to our family.
It's really complicated for me. It's obviously my younger brother's, but I have to..."
"Why don't we say goodbye? Although we know that it's not a problem for a female college student to hold gold bricks, and they are not in the same household registration book, but the stepson is also a son, so he has to be criticized to death."
"I feel the same way. After talking to Huimei, I think it's not okay. It's a bit chaotic. The two of them were fine originally and there was nothing. This is such a mess..."
"My father felt that he had grown up watching Jianshe. He also felt that it would be better to marry an outsider than to marry Jianshe to save trouble. Moreover, the two families are so close to each other that marrying him would be the same as not being married at all. It would be right under his nose.
.”
"Then now your sister's dowry is even richer. Your daughter is marrying her stepson. This is a really great idea for your father. Why didn't you think of it before?"
He felt that it was probably Aunt Ma's idea, and it was a great idea.
Now that the stepdaughter has become a daughter-in-law, isn't this mother-in-law more established? The family status is more stable.
Aguang explained: "Yingqiu's marriage has not been resolved in the past two years, and I am worried. How can I think about Dongqing? Moreover, Jianshe and Yingqiu are 5 years apart, how can they be related to each other?"
"Then in the second half of last year, Aunt Ma became pregnant again. I was afraid of being exposed, so I had to push the matter of seeing her to the back and didn't think much about it. I originally wanted to wait until this year to talk about it, but didn't I go to Zhou City again this year?
I just came back a few days ago.”
"Jianshe has always been on our boat, following us everywhere, working all the time, not staying at home. I just don't know how we came up with it."
Ye Yaodong asked back, "Then let me ask you, what should your younger brother call his elder brother and sister?"
Chapter completed!
