The whole family was eating, and the two brothers-in-law were sitting aside in a reserved manner. Seeing that they were both a little embarrassed and at a loss, Ye Yaodong took out the radio and turned it on for them to listen, so that it would not be so awkward.
The two of them looked at the big box with some surprise. Brother-in-law Lin Xianghui said in surprise: "When did you buy it?"
Lin Xiangrong also said with envy: "You have all the three turns and one ring. You can't find many in the village, right? These big items are not cheap. In our village, only the village chief and the village secretary have them."
Lin Xianghui nodded in agreement. These are not cheap. It's not that they can't afford them. There are many people who can afford them. Even ordinary people are not willing to buy them. It's so hard to make money, so you have to save it and spend it wisely.
"I asked someone to help me buy it a few days ago. I just delivered it the night before yesterday. You guys can listen to it for a while to pass the time."
"How much does this cost? No wonder my parents didn't mention it when they went back."
"A hundred bucks or so. You guys are tired of walking all the way here. Let's rest for a while. I'll take you to my old house after I finish eating."
"Okay, okay, you eat first and don't worry about us."
At the dinner table, Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were eating as if they were fighting. When they heard the sound of the radio, the two of them, who were still dawdling, instantly felt as if they had been given blood. They pricked their ears and quickly picked at the food in the bowl.
I wish I could just pour it in.
Earlier, it was because they were listening to the radio and not eating seriously, so they turned it off. Now they just want to finish eating quickly to avoid delaying their listening to books.
The nieces and nephews from the next door family also ran over as soon as they finished eating and gathered around the radio. They went to school, so they only came back from school to listen for a while.
Ye Yaodong also ate the remaining few mouthfuls of food, and then went to chat with his two brothers-in-law. When the child woke up, he also took the child out and gave them a look.
"This is the first time we've seen it. Hey, he looks quite like Ah Qing. She's fair and tender, and has double eyelids. Her eyes are also big and her mouth is small."
Lin Xiangrong echoed, "Yes, she looks very delicate."
The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, obviously he looked like him, okay?
Everyone in the family says he looks like him. Apart from his double eyelids, everything else looks like him. What do they think? It must be that they are biased towards others and have their own filters.
The daughter looks like the father, you can’t go wrong with this!
"The hair is also very thick, unlike several children in our family who were born with sparse hair."
Yes, yes! This one looks like him too!
With a head full of jet black hair, you won’t need to use a bully when you grow up.
Ye Yaodong nodded, "She clings to her mother every day during pregnancy and during the confinement period. Didn't she look good after birth? Her two brothers used to be like skinny monkeys."
"He is a blessed one."
Seeing her unfocused eyes, turning her head in any direction wherever there was a sound, the three men would all smile.
Everyone else's attention was focused on the radio, and my sister could no longer attract them.
Ye Yaodong touched her hand and she held it tightly. Her palm was warm and a little wet.
After playing with her for a while, he saw her head rubbing against his chest, so he sent her into the house again. He thought she must be hungry and wanted to drink milk.
After coming out, he and his father prepared to send the two brothers-in-law and the old lady back to the old house, and went to bed early and got up early.
When the weather gets hotter, everyone often sets up a table at the door to eat. The village seems to be more popular than in autumn and winter, and everyone likes to hang out at the door after meals.
Along the way, he met familiar villagers, and Ye's father greeted each other. The villagers took advantage of the time after dinner to discuss the booming squid season, and occasionally heard them mention their home.
It was vaguely said that their family was very smart, and they caught fish two days earlier than everyone else, and they made a lot of money again...
Father Ye kept his ears pricked up all the way, and the smile on his face never stopped.
When passing the drug store, Ye Yaodong stopped and turned in, buying two seasickness patches to prevent them from getting seasick too. This patch had to be applied two hours in advance to be effective. The longer it was on, the better the effect.
Lin Xianghui rubbed his hands back and forth awkwardly, "I'm really causing trouble for you."
"It's no trouble. Don't think so. There has been a lot of chaos on the sea recently. If you follow us, we can have more protection."
Father Ye also said: "Dongzi is right, and as I said before, we are also going to catch other products. It's just right for you to follow us to pick up squid."
Lin Guanghui and Lin Xiangrong also heard Father and Mother Lin talking about their fight at sea at home, and they nodded and did not say this again.
"Actually, there's no need to buy seasickness medicine. My parents said they'd just vomit and it'll be fine. It's not far."
The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. When he wanted to buy it for his father and mother Lin, they said that he never got carsick and would definitely not get seasick.
Well, he ended up vomiting like crazy. When he wanted to buy them seasickness patches the next day, they said they were used to it after vomiting and there was no need to buy it. They went back the next day.
"I don't know if vomiting will make you get used to it, but it will make you feel uncomfortable, and your legs and feet will feel weak, which will affect your performance. You'd better put it on. You can buy it. It can be used for two days."
"Oh then...that's good..."
After arranging the arrangements for the two brothers-in-law, he handed them over to his father. Ye Yaodong walked back again, but when he reached the center of the village, he was stopped again by the meddling villagers.
"Ah Dong, I heard that you have made a lot of money recently."
"I heard that you sold the machines for more than 200 yuan, and you have made a lot of money recently!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, their family has been very lucky this year. It seems that they started building a new house?"
"No, it started when Ye Laosan caught a net of large yellow croakers."
Ye Yaodong stopped, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "We are all the same, we are all making money."
"That's different, we don't make as much as you." A middle-aged man said while holding a soup bowl and slurping noodles.
"You didn't even see it when I spent money."
"It's all in the village, what can I spend?"
"Well, the offshore debt I bought last year has not been paid off yet. This year, there is another mouth in the family. I was fined 1,000 some time ago. I haven't earned enough to cover the fine during this period." Ye Yaodong said with a frown.
When you cry about poverty, of course you have to cry about poverty. It’s okay to say a little more about the fine. If it’s false, it’s also true, and when it’s true, it’s also false.
"Isn't it 500? Why did it change to 1,000?"
"I guess the village thought their family was rich, so they fined them a little more. Alas, it's not the village that has the final say on the fine."
"That's a severe punishment. A daughter is fined 1,000, but she's not a son."
"That's true..."
"I heard that a wealthy family in the town was fined several times for giving birth to a son, and each time they were fined more. They were fined several thousand and they were still trying to have a baby..."
"Rich families are not short of money. As long as their sons inherit the family business, families like ours still need sons, otherwise they will lose their relationship..."
"Indeed, what can you do without a son? You can't speak loudly. Then whose family has given birth to four daughters and now they can't even lift their heads..."
After bringing up a new topic for everyone to discuss, Ye Yaodong disappeared.
It is impossible to stop someone from gossiping about other people, and it is not just women who gossip, men also gossip.
The best way to divert people from talking about you is to drop a new topic that interests everyone, and then just run away.
