"Haha, so dad, just do me a favor. You can plant the land at home and the fruit trees on the mountain for the eldest and second brothers and let them take care of it. Anyway, as soon as you are old, you should go to the city to enjoy your life.
Now, you don’t have to worry about the work at home, I will still calculate your wages.”
Father Lin was confused. He had been farming all his life, but now that he was old, he was asked to visit a store? How could he know what kind of store he would visit?
"You can either ask other people in your family or relatives?"
"There is no suitable one. I don't know my relatives very well. I don't have you to reassure me. And you have reached this age. You have enough experience and knowledge. You are more useful than anyone else."
"I can't speak Mandarin...what's going on..."
"It doesn't matter. There are so many people who don't speak Mandarin. They are everywhere, gesticulating, and it doesn't matter if they speak poorly. As long as they understand the meaning anyway."
Ye Yaodong kept up his efforts, "I won't just leave you there. I will go there to deliver the goods every few days. If I have time, I will go and take care of you for a few days. If you want to come back for anything, just follow the delivery."
It’ll be nice when the tractor carrying the goods comes back.”
Father Lin felt a little headache. He had never thought that he could still sell his goods in the city?
Mother Lin didn't know what to say about this matter, and she couldn't make up her mind. She could only look at this and that.
Lin Xiuqing didn't know who to help. She also wanted her father to help, but she was afraid that he wouldn't be used to it.
"Try it, dad, just do me a favor..."
Father Lin was a bit embarrassed by what he said. Should he agree to it? He was unsure about it. But he didn't agree to it? He felt distressed and worried that his son-in-law's shop would be lost. 6,000 yuan was not a small sum.
"I... let me think about it... I don't know what I am doing. I have never been to the county twice, let alone the city. How can I do this job well..."
"Then you think about it slowly and consider it? It will be after the New Year anyway. Then or you can try it for two days after the New Year. If it doesn't work and you are not used to it, then I can just pick you back up."
"Uh...then...that's okay. Let's talk about it later, at least after the New Year."
It’s not enough to go right away. Mother Lin also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “Our family will discuss it among ourselves first and come back to you later. There is a lot of work in this family. If we really want to go to the city, we have to explain everything.
Okay. Although your father said that he eats more salt than you eat rice, he has never traveled far and is very frightened. You need to think about it carefully."
"Well, okay, there's no rush. I'll just discuss it with you, and dad will figure it out. If you really don't know what to do and don't want to go, just forget it. I won't force you. Anyway, the notice will be posted there, and you can take your time.
It would be nice to rent it out.”
"Okay, okay," Father Lin nodded with a smile, "Let's talk about it later, I have to talk to your eldest and second brothers."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Where are my two brothers-in-law? Why didn't I see them?"
"They are still in the field. They want to dig it up and plant some more mustard greens. I'll push the radishes back first."
"oh."
"You sit down and bask in the sun first. I'll go to the door to wash those radishes first, cut them and dry them first. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I dried a bunch of sweet potato shreds. It just so happens that today is my turn to dry the radishes. If they are still dry in the next two days,
If the weather permits, we will need to dry some mustard greens to make pickles.”
"After finishing all the work in the fields, I still have to wash and clean the house, hire people to kill pigs, and prepare for the New Year. This happens every day, and there is no free time. I am busy there for the whole month of the twelfth lunar month..."
Father Lin talked nonchalantly as he walked to the door, as if he was very busy and there were many jobs waiting for him to do at home.
Ye Yaodong followed him when he had nothing to do, intending to help out together.
Lin Xiuqing, on the other hand, was pulled by Mother Lin and continued to ask about the store. She was so distressed just now that she didn't dare to say anything in front of her son-in-law. Now she could only criticize her daughter severely.
Lin Xiuqing just wanted to shout that she was wronged!
Her man has made up his mind, what can she do?
She had no choice but to go with him on a big ship with a price of 13,000 yuan.
However, she didn't dare to tell her parents about this yet, for fear that it would be too exciting all at once. The ship would be delivered in two years, and it would be too late to talk about it by then.
They said they were here to send New Year greetings, but the couple were also busy at their father-in-law's house from morning to night, helping with the work. The old man was very diligent and planted a lot of things in the ground. In the middle of winter, as long as there is good weather, everything
Sunbathe there all day and night.
There are only two children who are the most carefree. Some eat, some play, and some take.
Ye Chenghu ran around like crazy for a day and was so happy that he had already forgotten to remind his grandparents about secretly taking the lucky money.
Before leaving, Mother Lin took out three red envelopes from her pocket with a smile on her face, and he felt a little bit in his heart. It was broken and he had forgotten to explain.
He reacted quickly and rushed forward, took Mother Lin's hand, and walked into the house.
Everyone was confused for a moment, what is he doing?
Of course Lin Xiuqing saw it too and quickly followed, "Ye Chenghu, what are you doing? You are not allowed to take red envelopes."
Ye Chenghu's expression instantly fell, and he couldn't even speak secretly!
Alas, I acted foolishly and made a mistake...
He frowned and said depressedly: "I didn't take the red envelope. I wanted to ask grandma not to give it to me and give it to me next year."
Lin Xiuqing: Believe him!
Mother Lin was all smiles, she smiled and took one and stuffed it into his cotton-padded jacket pocket, "Next year is for next year, and this year is for this year. Children need their new year's money, so don't stop me. There are two more, one for Yang Yang and one for Yang Yang.
Xiaojiu."
"Need not……"
"Take it all, it's not for you, it's for the three children. It would be ugly if we go back empty-handed. Others should pay attention to our stingy grandparents. You can't ruin our reputation."
Lin Xiuqing lowered her head and glanced at Ye Chenghu, who had been looking up at her.
Ye Chenghu also took the red envelope out of his pocket and handed it to her, "I don't want it."
Anyway, it won’t reach his pocket in the end!
Even better, give it to his grandma and ask her to give double next year!!!
Lin Xiuqing took it and forced it back into Mother Lin's hands.
The mother and daughter pushed back and forth, from the house to the door. Ye Yaodong put the child on the bicycle and rode on it himself, while they were still pushing...
He had a headache.
"Come on, come on, if you don't want it, then give it to me. It just so happens that I haven't received lucky money for many years."
Mother Lin happily put Lin Xiuqing aside and handed the red envelope to Ye Yaodong, "Then you can hold it for the three children. Ah Qing is too unreasonable to push it around."
"Well, it's indeed too open to outsiders. If I don't see outsiders, I'll take care of everything from now on." Ye Yaodong accepted it happily.
We don’t have much money, how much time is wasted pushing it back and forth?
They just look for an opportunity to buy something, then return it all, and they still push it here for a long time, just push it twice if they want, and then the sun will go down.
Lin Xiuqing was also amused by him.
"Why are you so rude?"
"What's that saying in ancient times? You can't push back what your elders give you. Yes, that's right, that's the saying. Anyway, if you don't want it, just give it to me. It's okay if I'm embarrassed."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him angrily.
"Get in the car quickly, the sun is going down."
Ye Chenghu was dumbfounded when he saw his father's behavior. Is this still possible?
Is it difficult for him to accept all the red envelopes they push back and forth?
The door to the new world opened instantly. He wanted such an embarrassment!
That was originally his!
Ye Chenghu looked at the red corner protruding from the pocket of his father's cotton-padded jacket. He was a little ready to move, but he didn't dare to reach out.
He thought to himself that giving red envelopes to his father would be better than giving red envelopes to his mother. His father was willing to buy them delicious food and firecrackers to play with. It was also easier to get pocket money from his father's hand, even in his normal pocket.
No money...
I don’t know if his father can keep it after he returns.
After the couple said goodbye to Father Lin and Mother Lin, they took the time to hit the road, taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark and there were still people coming and going on the road, so it seemed a little safer.
