Father Ye rolled his eyes at her, "You calm down, what do you want to say to Huimei? She said it as a daughter-in-law, let others listen, just in case the widow gossips and says that the couple is thinking about the old man's money, and they are not dead yet.
Thinking about it, can the old man feel at ease?"
"Then you have to mention it, otherwise if you leave it at home, you will have to take advantage of the widow."
"What do you know? In a few days, call Lao Zheng and then call Lao Lin. Let's have a drink and chat. Let's talk about the date when we will go to sea. I will just mention it by the way. How can I go out of my way to say it?
, seems too deliberate.”
"That's okay, then you can do this too."
"Eat your food, worry about it blindly, you are too busy with your own affairs and worry about other people's affairs."
"Then it's someone else's house. I'm afraid that my daughter and son-in-law will suffer a loss. Then remember to remind me not to drink horse urine and forget about everything except bragging."
"I know, long-winded."
Ye Yaodong said: "Okay, let's eat."
Mother Ye changed the subject again, "Why did my mother-in-law bring so many things again? There are piles of everything in the yard. I have brought so much back every time..."
"I'll sort it out after dinner. They are all pickled or dried things. You can keep them and eat them slowly..." Lin Xiuqing responded.
Chatting or talking about things while eating is an old tradition in their family.
Father Ye and Mother Ye don't live with them. Every day when they come over for dinner, they have the habit of telling all the big and small things that happened in the village and repeating them at the dinner table, for fear that they won't know.
In other words, if you know it, your family will have to tell it again before eating.
By the way, Father Ye and Mother Ye were also concerned. What time will they go to the county town tomorrow and what will they bring? I gave them a few words to ask them to be more careful.
When it comes to going to the county town, the two brothers are of course the happiest. Ye Xiaoxi is still ignorant and doesn't know anything. Anyway, he can be taken anywhere.
The two boys were so happy the next day, especially Ye Chenghu, who woke up early in the morning and walked around the door, telling everyone he met that he was going to the county town to pay his god-grandfather a New Year's greeting.
I also asked people, do you have a godfather? Have you ever been to the county seat?
"Ye Chenghu, the third uncle and the third aunt are gone and I won't take you with them." Ye Chenghai yelled at him in a humble voice.
Ye Chenghu looked stunned, "No."
After he retorted loudly, he ran home in a panic, for fear that he would not be taken with him again.
He obviously didn't hear the sound of the tractor, and why would his father not take him? He didn't say he wouldn't take him.
But once, he was a little scared.
And why didn’t anyone come to tell him to go home or set out?
What about Yangyang?
Where did it go?
He was obviously there just now...
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he rushed home. When he saw that Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing were still there, he felt relieved and the color returned to his pale face.
"I was scared to death. I thought you were leaving without me." He spoke with a crying tone and almost cried.
Ye Yaodong was polishing his leather shoes. He raised his head and glanced at him, "That's what I was thinking just now. Forget it if I don't take you with me. You are so stupid every day."
"don't want……"
"I've been out here all day and night, and I don't even know when I'm back after setting off. Why do I take you with me?"
"I won't be embarrassed next time..."
He was really panicked just now and thought his parents had run away again.
"Where's Yangyang?"
"Going to shit."
"Lazy people poop and pee a lot. I thought you were taking him again instead of me."
No wonder she was with him just now and suddenly disappeared.
Lin Xiuqing was combing Ye Xiaoxi's hair and glanced at him, "If you are not good and obedient, I will only take Yangyang and not you next time."
"I'm obedient and I've finished my homework."
"I didn't force you to finish it. Isn't it right to have done your homework during the winter vacation? You still talk about it every day and the homework is done. This is something to be proud of."
"Of course, they didn't do it."
"If you don't compare yourself with the good ones, you will spend all your time comparing yourself with the bad ones."
"Brother Ahai didn't lead well at the beginning. I had to scold him because he didn't set a good example. I even saw him smoking secretly. I'll tell my aunt next time!"
Ye Yaodong looked at the shiny leather shoes and put down his feet with satisfaction.
"Isn't this a blackmail for him?"
When Ye Chenghu heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately ran out.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said, "If you don't teach the good ones, teach the bad ones. Ah Hai must have learned from you."
"Shit, my eldest brother also smokes, why did he learn from me?"
"My eldest brother is just like my father, he smokes hookah."
"It can't be said that I taught you. You must have learned it when you went to work, but you can't rely on me for everything."
Ye Yaodong urged: "Are you ready? Let's go."
"One of them hasn't finished pooping, and the other one is out to blackmail someone else."
"Then don't wait for them, there are so many things to do."
Ye Chengyang shouted at the back door, "No, I'll pull it up right away."
Ye Yaodong ignored him, "I'll drive the tractor first."
"I'll just cut it off..."
The two couples heard nothing but nonsense.
Ye Yaodong went to the workshop to drive a tractor. He was halfway there when he heard Ye Chenghai shouting, "Your father is gone and won't take you with him..."
He turned around and saw that Ye Chenghu was hesitating, and then quickly ran towards him in less than two seconds, "Dad, don't leave me behind."
Ye Yaodong ignored him and continued walking to the workshop.
He followed step by step, and kept saying: You can't leave me behind, you can't just take Yangyang without me...
Watching the tractor start, he climbed up quickly.
As long as he moves quickly, his father can't get rid of him.
Ye Yaodong drove the car to the door of his house to pick up his wife and daughter, and Ye Chengyang quickly climbed up.
"Why did I let you finish it? If you hadn't finished it, you wouldn't have gone, and I wouldn't have waited for you."
Ye Chengyang raised his butt towards him, "I pinched it off and retracted it, brother, I'll pull it out again when I come back."
"You are so disgusting, go away!"
"snort."
The two brothers were noisy and bickering all the way until they entered the county.
However, after seeing the bustling scene in the city and the dilapidated county seat, they couldn't get excited at all. At most, they could tell the story and make the children in the village envious, so they went to the county seat to pay New Year's greetings.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year this year, none of Director Chen's family came back, and only two of his five children came back.
On the way home afterwards, Ye Yaodong expressed his feelings to Lin Xiuqing again.
During the Chinese New Year, not all family members came back, so I just felt like something was missing. The atmosphere was not that lively, and it was far worse than their home.
"Fortunately, their family has a large population and is somewhat popular. With fewer children born in the future, the Chinese New Year will be even less interesting. Fortunately, your son doesn't seem to have much future, so he will definitely be around in the future."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "Looking at what you said, you just expect them to be by your side and provide for you in your old age because they have no future?"
"Then it's really not certain who will support whom in their old age. We may have to provide them with old age care."
She didn't say anything. It was really possible that they had so much money on hand now that she felt like she wouldn't be able to spend it all in her lifetime.
Then their money and things will definitely belong to the three children in the future, and it will be enough for the three children to eat and drink without worries.
"Anyway, we will definitely live in the village for retirement. They will come back if they like. If they don't come back, they will drag us down. We still have neighbors and we are not alone."
"You're going too far."
"It's not far at all, only 20 years."
As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, several decades passed.
Although I went to Director Chen’s house today to pay New Year greetings, I still had a lot of chats after the New Year greetings.
He also told Director Chen that when village cadres went to the county to report on their work, they would focus on the development of the village this year.
Then after the year, he will be reported to the "Active Youth" and "May 4th Youth Award". If he is selected, it will also be a glorious resume.
He also said that he is now actively attending party schools to study the party's central thought and prepare to join the party.
Since you want to participate in the selection, you must increase the high school prize rate.
Since Director Chen is a local, he must have something to do with it. If he mentions this casually, his probability of winning will be higher.
By the way, he also mentioned that he might start a fish canning processing factory in partnership with a friend later this year.
If you succeed in joining the party and have the honor, it will be smoother. It will also increase the local employment rate and promote economic development. It will also be a great achievement for government units.
Director Chen only said that his plan was very good and that he should move closer to the organization. He didn't say much else.
But they also chatted from morning to afternoon, and it wasn't until one or two o'clock that Ye Yaodong and the others left.
He also agreed that when their vacation is over in two days, he would come over and drive the tractor to take them to the city.
Everything that should be done will be done.
The happiest thing in the past two days is the three children. As soon as they go out, they receive red envelopes. I am so happy.
Growing so big, I received the most red envelopes this year, the biggest!
Yesterday, the red envelopes given by grandparents, uncles and aunts were larger than in previous years. Ye Chengyang's memory was not so clear, but Ye Chenghu remembered it clearly.
When I went home and counted the red envelopes, my mouth was watering.
In fact, when they received the red envelope, they hid in a corner and took a peek, but when they got home and opened it, they were still overjoyed.
Today's red envelopes are as big as those given by my grandparents, each one is worth several yuan, and I also received many of them.
They never thought that their parents might give more!
What they receive is given by their parents.
"Get rich..."
Ye Chengyang also turned around and asked Lin Xiuqing, "Mom, are we going somewhere to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow?"
"Ask your father if he has any other rich relatives."
"father……"
"How about you go find a few more parents?"
"Hey, daddy, let's go find him..."
Ye Yaodong gave him a slap in the face, "Can I still recognize my father everywhere? I have collected a lot of New Year's money this year, and school is about to start, so use it to sign up."
Ye Chenghu quickly squeezed his lucky money and said, "No."
The same goes for Ye Chengyang.
The two brothers grabbed their money tightly and ran upstairs to hide it.
Ye Xiaoxi was lying on Lin Xiuqing's lap, and Lin Xiuqing was holding her red envelope in her hand.
It was handed over as soon as I got it.
At this time, Lin Xiuqing was taking out all the money inside, then stuffing a few more pennies into it, and then returned it to Ye Xiaoxi.
"don't want……"
"Put it in your savings and it won't fall out."
She thought it was right, and immediately took it happily, then took it back to the house and put it in the piggy bank.
"It's still too tender..."
"Without the red envelopes we gave out, how could they have collected so much? After a few days, I asked them to sign up. At least they collected more than 20 yuan in the past few days."
"It doesn't cost much to sign up."
"I told them, keep it here with me, and you don't want to buy it for them any more. Ask them to take out the money from the piggy bank if they want it. Who has so much money in their hands?"
"It's weird that they can listen to your lies. You might as well buy them a piggy bank that can only save money but not take it out."
"Then when I go to the market in a few days, I will buy them bigger ones. They can only be deposited but not taken out. Otherwise, this small piggy bank may not be able to hold a few pieces of paper."
Lin Xiuqing thought about how to coax money from the two brothers, but neither of them liked her.
They are not fools like Ye Xiaoxi, who don't understand anything and are deceived every day. As long as they deposit it with my mother, it will be gone.
When I asked, didn’t I spend everything on you?
Do you know how much it cost to raise you so big?
Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to go to the market in a few days and give them a new piggy bank. This was guaranteed to work.
We are all people who like the new and dislike the old. When we see a new piggy bank, we must change it.
This is also true.
When Lin Xiuqing bought a piggy bank of different colors and asked them to write their own names, both of them were very happy.
Immediately, I took out all the money from my small piggy bank and stuffed it into the new piggy bank.
It looks like the amount is really quite a lot. After two or three years of saving, it’s dozens of dollars, ranging from a few cents to a few dollars.
That small piggy bank is indeed almost full.
Lin Xiuqing really wanted to collect all the money so that her two children would not have to put so much money in their hands. However, without their consent and willingness, she could not force it.
We can only let them store it hard and cannot get in or out.
She was only satisfied when she saw both of them transfer money to the new piggy bank.
When it comes to death, they won't be afraid of spending money randomly. Unless they smash the piggy bank, they won't be able to take it out.
I believe they will definitely be reluctant to part with it.
After the two brothers saved the money, they happily shook the piggy bank. When they shook it, they discovered that there was no hole under their buttocks.
They looked up and down, left and right, and only then they realized they had been deceived!
"Ah, I can't take it out..."
"I've been fooled! Mom, you are so insidious!"
"My money..."
"I really can't take it out..."
The two of them put the piggy bank against their eyes and stared at it for a long time with one eye open and the other closed. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Don't you want to keep it and save it for yourself? Only in this way can you save it. After more than ten years, you will have a large amount, enough to marry yourself a wife."
Ye Yaodong was listening with his eyes rolling up to the ceiling.
He testified that this statement was really a lie.
If you save for more than ten years, it will be at least after the year 2000. If you save for more than ten years, it will not be enough for the two brothers to go to the KTV to spend money.
Want to marry a wife, dream.
Call me a little sister, and being my wife for a few hours is barely enough.
"It's so annoying. I talk about marrying a wife every day... I don't want to marry someone who lies like you every day."
"You kid, don't give me back the piggy bank."
Ye Chenghu hugged her tightly, all his belongings were inside, so he didn't want to take advantage of his mother and not return it.
Ye Chengyang also held his own piggy bank and said happily: "Fortunately, I didn't put all my money in it. Brother Ahai and Brother Chenghe both owe me money, so I can ask them for it."
"You've made a profit, and they still ask you to borrow money?"
Ye Chengyang smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "If you borrow 5 cents, you will get 6 cents. If you borrow one yuan, you will get 1 yuan or 2. I will only lend it to them for one week, and they will have to pay it back when the time is up."
"Damn it, loan shark! Your interest rate is quite high? 20% in 7 days?" Ye Yaodong was extremely surprised.
Ye Chenghu's eyes widened, "Aren't you afraid that they won't return it? You can't beat them. If they ask me to borrow it, I won't. Don't even think about it."
"If they dare not pay it back, I will tell my eldest aunt that Brother Ahai will definitely pay it back if he has a salary."
Ye Yaodong gave his youngest son a thumbs up, "Awesome! You have a good way of making money, and you make money and make money on your brothers. Well done."
"Hey, I won't borrow it from others. They don't dare not return it to me."
"Awesome, how much do they owe you?"
"Brother Ahai borrowed 5 yuan. He said he would repay me 8 yuan after half a month's salary and asked me not to chase him for money every day." After saying that, he ran upstairs and took down his account book.
turn.
It is also clearly written on it, which month and day are circled and crossed? What number must be paid back, circled and crossed with pinyin letters...
Ye Yaodong stretched his head curiously and looked over. There were only five or six loan information, which started just a year ago. Some of them were still being borrowed and repaid.
"This is a trip to the city. They spent all their personal money, so they asked you to borrow it?"
Ye Chengyang nodded, "Yes, they paid me back the New Year's money after they gave it to me, but a few days ago they spent all the New Year's money, so they asked me to borrow it again. Their New Year's money is very small, not as much as my brother and I."
"You are so good, hahaha, you can still make money from them."
"Hehe~ I will ask Brother Chenghe for payment later. He owes me 8 cents and said he would pay me back 1 yuan. I asked him to pay me back some first."
"Your interest rates are getting higher and higher."
"They agreed!"
Ye Chenghu suddenly said: "I can take some of my Zhuzhu cards and sell them to them. Then I will have money again, and I can win it back again!"
After saying that, he ran upstairs and took down his two jars of precious glass beads and a box of cards.
He grinned, these treasures were his wealth.
Lin Xiuqing said with disgust: "I hold these rags all day long and eat them as food."
Ye Yaodong helped Ye Chenghu speak, "Don't underestimate his rags. Those kids just do this and spend all their pocket money to buy these."
"Then I have to praise him for making money? I lie on the ground all day long, and the knees of my pants are torn and mended, and my pants and sleeves are not clean all day long."
"Anyway, it's for him to wear, not for you. He doesn't mind being shabby himself, so you don't care about him."
Ye Chenghu responded loudly, "Yes, I don't mind my pants being torn."
"Sooner or later I'll throw these things away from you. You know how to play all day long. No wonder you did so poorly in the exam all day long."
"no!"
Ye Yaodong said helpfully: "Don't throw it away, this is his lifeblood."
"Just get used to it."
"This is not a habit, this is childhood fun, but you can't lose your mind by playing with things. I heard that there is no Ye Chenghu?"
"I heard it, Dad, you can't throw it away. I won these with all my hard work."
"Hurry up and sell it for money. You have no money. Sell it and win it back."
Ye Chenghu agreed excitedly, then took the piggy bank upstairs and hid it, and ran out happily with his babies.
Ye Chengyang also said: "I have it too, and I want to sell it for money."
Lin Xiuqing watched the two disappear and glared at Ye Yaodong, "If you don't stop them, even if you encourage them to play with these things, then they don't need to study."
"If they've all been converted into money, won't they stop?"
"fart."
"Anyway, you can't stop them from playing with these things. It's really a shame. I have to fight with you. It's okay to play appropriately. Which child doesn't play with these things? It doesn't mean that if you don't play with these things, your academic performance will be better."
"You make sense no matter what."
"As long as they don't miss their homework every day and don't do badly in exams, they can just try their best. You still don't know what your son's moral character is and whether he is the material for studying? You can't be too oppressive and you can't force your children to follow everything.
Parents’ wishes.”
"I tell you everything, I will teach you and control everything."
"School starts in a few days. I have no time to let the teacher teach. When school starts, you can talk to the head teacher and ask him to pay more attention to the two boys. Just call their names more often in class to ensure that they are tight-lipped.
It's so tight that I don't dare to let go for a moment."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "That's how you are. On the surface, you do all kinds of good things, and you do all kinds of maintenance. You buy this and that, and then you let me do all the bad things."
"A loving father and a strict mother. But how do I remember when I saw nine-year compulsory education in the newspaper?"
"What is nine-year compulsory education?"
"There is no tuition fee from first grade to junior high school. It is free and you only need to pay a textbook fee."
"How is it possible? Did you see it wrong?"
"I seem to have seen it somewhere? I'll ask the village cadres later."
"It doesn't matter, the tuition is not much, just a few yuan. By the way, have you, that advanced young man of yours, reported it?"
"Um."
There is nothing to ask about this. Once you apply, you will be notified automatically if you are selected. There is no need to keep asking, and it is just the Chinese New Year.
He was recalling that his two sons had never been exempted from tuition fees at all, and they had to pay for their education until they graduated from junior high school.
But he was in Zhou City last year and actually saw it in the local newspaper, but he was not at home at the time, so he only remembered it. If the children hadn't started school soon, he would have forgotten about it.
I don’t know if each province has issued a different order, and it is promoted step by step, and there is no one-time promotion across the country.
He didn't have a deep impression of his previous life. He didn't know when they started nine-year compulsory education, but he remembered that Lin Xiuqing would sigh every year when he paid tuition for his children.
He didn't want to think about what happened in his previous life, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was so useless and useless.
"I'm just going to ask. I'm going to sea in a few days. It's my first time. I won't stay too long. I'll stay for a month and a half and then come back."
Lin Xiuqing hesitated and said: "How about letting dad drive your Ocean No. 1? You still have a lot of things to do at home. Aren't you going to open a factory in partnership with Hong Wenle?"
"Don't worry about that. It definitely won't be a matter of a day or two. His loan has not been approved yet. Anyway, I will go there for half a month to try the harvest. I must be familiar with my own boat first. I will definitely come back by the end of the month.
"
"Dad said that once their ship goes out, it will take several months and a half..."
"Then I have a lot of things to deal with, and I can't stay for that long. It would be the same if I let dad or the workers take over halfway. I will go to open and collect the fresh boats instead, so that I can handle things at home."
He was also thinking about when a layman would come over to their place and follow him to the boat market.
If he really can't find it or doesn't have time, he can only wait until the second half of the year when he goes up to plan the land.
"Then you have a plan."
"The pile of dried vegetables and pickles your family brought during the Chinese New Year has come in handy. They can be taken to the sea and they won't go bad for months."
She smiled and said, "There are so many, but they are not worth much. If you want to go back and just spend some money, you can get a car back. There are so many."
"That's enough, I can't even finish what I gave you."
"If you go to Zhejiang Province in the second half of the year, bring more with you. It won't cost you anything to bring with you. Otherwise, there will be just dozens of us workers, and we will have to spend a lot of money on food and drink every day. We will definitely buy it outside.
It’s expensive. We in rural areas don’t need to spend money on these things.”
"Let's talk about it later."
Ye Yaodong waited until the village committee went to work in the afternoon and someone was there before going over.
I asked casually and found out that they really don’t have nine-year compulsory education here, and I had never heard of it.
He had no choice but to expose it and talk about the kelp situation instead.
At this time, a large black area has been seen on the sea surface. It will take two months before it can be truly collected.
But the villagers were already laughing. After the new year, they often sailed over to see it, and they were all looking forward to the harvest.
Its most suitable growth temperature range is 0 degrees to 13 degrees, especially 1 to 7 degrees is the most suitable.
Moreover, the sunshine this year is particularly abundant. Everyone has long expected that this year will be another bumper harvest year.
The village cadres also thought so, so when he asked about it, they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
"Ah Dong, thanks to you, if there is a bumper harvest this year, every household can choose an area on the sea to grow plants next year."
"Then our village has really become a truly wealthy village. It has its own industry, and it is also a breeding industry. It is not available in other places, and it is not yet popular."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Then this is a real political achievement."
"Yes, when I reported it a year ago, I told the county that it took it seriously and was waiting for us to have a good harvest. Then we would publicize it and vigorously develop it."
Secretary Chen said: "Besides, when we receive the goods in April, it happens to be the time when the May 4th Youth Award will be selected. You will definitely have a share of the credit then, and the superiors will give you a good commendation."
"Thank you very much. I'm also looking forward to a good harvest in the village, so that everyone in the village can live a good life."
Chapter completed!
