Ye Yaodong felt happy, it turned out that he had really become a celebrity in the village.
Seeing table No. 6 written on it, he felt that he was making a difference and could sit down and have dinner with the leading cadres. His parents walked out with bright faces again.
At this moment, he really felt that he had gained face for his family. It felt a little good, and it was more satisfying than catching a big fish. This effort again was not in vain.
His grandfather must be very happy down there, and he will definitely work harder to protect him.
"Why bother? It's our job in the first place. It can bring glory to our village. How many people want to rush to do it?"
"Haha, yes, yes, no, I also want to join the temporary militia so that I can contribute and be a bit presumptuous. Then I'll ask Director Ade to help me write down my names. If it's convenient, can you remember a few more?
What’s your name?”
"Well, who do you want to sign up for?"
"Just the four of them, Aguang, Xiaoxiao, Azheng, Fatty, my brother and the others, please wait and ask."
You definitely have to bring your friends with you, otherwise what will you do if you get too bored while patrolling?
The key is that he cannot be patrolling hard while they are watching the show with corruption!
Friends have to share blessings. Of course, they cannot be left behind on a glorious mission. They have never worn red armbands in their lives. He has to give them a chance.
No need to thank him!
Director Ade looked at him with a smile, "The little Azheng you are talking about, I know, which one is the fat one? The one whose father is the cook?"
"Yes, yes, besides their family, are there any fat people in the village?"
"Hahaha, that's right. Then I'll make a note of it. When the post is sent to their home, I'll tell them by the way that I helped them sign up."
"Okay, let them don't thank me."
"Okay, I'll leave first. I still have a bunch of posts to send."
"Hey, wait, wait, I'm sitting at this table, where should my old man, my wife and my children sit? I paid my family of five and my parents' money a few days ago."
There's no way he can take up half the table with his family, right? If everyone is like this, where will the six-seat table be enough to sit at? Who doesn't have a big family?
"The youngest of your family will line up with your parents and your brothers. There are ten seats at the table. The children do not occupy seats. However, the money you paid a few days ago includes the children. Your two children
You can occupy two more seats, which is exactly one table, and then just ask them to do it with your parents."
"Okay, that's okay."
Children do not occupy seats, and they avoid shameless people paying two cents to take the whole family to eat.
In this way, a family can only bring one at most, and it can only bring a small one. It is too big to look good when standing, and it is easy for others to gossip. The small one can also be sat on the lap.
After all, we still have a shortage of supplies and living standards are not high yet. Everyone is short of food, drink, oil and water, otherwise who would be willing to lose face and face.
However, ordinary people have too much dignity to do such a thing. At most, they can take a small child and sit on their laps to eat together.
"That's no problem, I'm leaving."
"Let's go slowly. I won't send you off. Come and sit here when you have time."
"well……"
Ye Yaodong stood at the door and waited for the people to go away before entering the yard with the red post and slapping his palms, humming a song.
Lin Xiuqing looked strange in the room, "Why are you in such a good mood? Who came just now, I saw you standing at the door for a long time."
"Thum, thump, thump, do you know what this is?" Ye Yaodong smiled and raised the post in his hand several times in front of her eyes.
"An invitation for Mazu's birthday?"
"The enemy!"
"Are you so happy? Isn't this something that happens naturally? Everyone in our village should have it."
"You don't know about this, right? I heard that six tables will be set up in the middle of the stage to entertain our county and town leaders and people from the newspaper office. Guess where I will sit?"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes lit up. He had made it so clear. How could she not guess?
She quickly threw the rag aside and stopped wiping the cabinet. She grabbed her apron twice and quickly took the post in his hand.
"Did we also arrange a seat for you?"
"Haha, yes."
Lin Xiuqing opened the post and saw that it was true. I heard that there were hundreds of tables, and six tables could be placed in the middle of the stage, which would be specially used to entertain leaders from outside.
I didn’t expect that the men in her family would have a share, but thinking about it, it seems quite normal. After all, it was A Dong’s credit that the Mazu Temple was built.
He fished out the bronze cauldron and dedicated it to Mazu, and the merit stele was engraved with the first place. It makes no sense, and he was not even given a place.
Although this is just a seat of honor, it will bring glory to the public. This is a seat of honor for entertaining leaders. Ordinary people should not even think about it.
Lin Xiuqing's face lit up with a smile, "It seems that being famous also has its benefits. Even when I'm walking in the village, people like to talk to me."
"Wait a minute, I'll definitely earn you more face."
"What's the use? Instead of just wandering around this village, you might as well earn more money and give it to me. I'd be happier. I can't afford anything without money."
"Okay, whatever I earn is yours, and whatever you earn is still yours."
"I know how to coax people, and I can coax them all into obedience, whether they are old or young."
Lin Xiuqing was so elated by him that she happily took the post back to her room and put it away after saying a few words.
The old lady looked on happily and said, "I will burn incense sticks for your grandpa later and tell him so that he can bless you more in the future."
"Okay, there will be an opera performance in a few days. It is said to be five days. I will move a stool over there in advance and give you a good seat in the front row."
"Okay, okay, the singing is great."
The old lady smiled so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes. Except for the projection team who occasionally went to the countryside to show movies, theater troupes were rare in their countryside. When she was young, she went to the town to see them twice.
When Ye Yaodong saw Lin Xiuqing come back and come out again, he said to her again: "When the time comes for the banquet, you can sit with my parents. I paid for our family of five. Xiaojiu is not counted as a head, and the two of them are
Yes, I’ve paid for it, and when the time comes, you can each sit in a seat. You don’t have to think that it doesn’t look good if you bring them all together, and you don’t dare to sit. You can boldly occupy a seat, let them eat more, and keep them safe.”
The whole family is going, there is no need to leave the two children at home, and there is no shortage of money. Bring the two children to the banquet so that they can all have a big meal. The whole family will be happy.
"When did you pay for two extra portions? What a waste... How much can they eat when they are so small?"
Lin Xiuqing looked at Ye Chengyang, who was not even up to her waist. He was so small that he couldn't sit still and ran away after just a few bites. It was such a waste of money.
"We can eat as much as we want, and we can't finish it all. The whole table is filled with our own family members, so it's not a loss. It's okay. For two extra bucks, we can also take the two children with us. We can keep safe even if we eat a little.
Otherwise, it would be too ugly to bring both of them and have to eat standing up."
"All right."
The money has been paid, what else can be said? He can’t have money in his pocket!
Anyone who is accustomed to killing first and then showing off is a habitual offender.
"Where are the beans? I asked you to pick the beans earlier. Where are the beans?"
Ye Yaodong slapped his forehead fiercely, "Ah! I forgot it and left it in the vegetable field nearby. I'll go get it."
When he turned around and walked towards the door, his big black dog had already run to the door with the rickety basket in his mouth, delivering the courier to his home.
He was pleasantly surprised, "You're pretty smart, right? You know how to carry the basket back for me?"
This big black dog had always been tied there, fearing that it would become wild and untamed, so he thought of untying it at home after a thief encountered it last time.
I've had it tied up for almost a year and I haven't seen it bite anyone. I think it's trustworthy and I might give it a chance.
"Woof woof!"
Da Heizi was also excited and the dog barked twice and wagged its tail.
"But I haven't picked enough yet. It's not even enough for a bowl. Why are you so smart?"
The smile on Ye Yaodong's face immediately dropped and he patted the dog's head twice.
Da Heizi instantly sobbed twice, stopped, squatted on the ground, and lowered his head.
"In the future, work harder and be more observant. Now step aside and don't block my way at the intersection."
"whimper……"
Ye Yaodong waited for it to move to the side, then took the basket and went out again.
Lin Xiuqing looked at his actions and shook her head with laughter behind her, even a dog would bully him.
The small vegetable garden in the yard was well taken care of by the old lady and Ah Qing. It was well-proportioned and planted in a small area with leeks, onions, garlic and coriander all year round.
A little further inside, there were a few small bamboo stands built with long beans, and a little further back there were green cauliflower melons that he loved to eat, and a few peppers and tomatoes were planted here and there.
Then there is a small ridge of potatoes stretching to the bottom, and two ridges of corn stalks.
They only plant a little bit of everything, and what stands out is the diversity of varieties. Anyway, as long as it is enough for their family to eat.
After one season, the land is plowed again, and new vegetables are planted again, so that there is a steady supply and self-sufficiency.
Ye Yaodong didn't have many interactions anyway. At most, he could help, set up a show, and pick the shit...
Ah Qing was sometimes responsible for hoeing and fertilizing the fields. After all, he was not at home most of the time. When he was home, it was either windy or raining.
However, Ah Qing was very happy with it. After all, he was not just playing around. He was going out to sea to fish and do serious work. Whose women didn’t catch them from the land and sea at home?
Ye Yaodong picked off the long beans and put them in the basket. He also felt very satisfied. He could grow whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to worry about eating or drinking anything from the sea or the ground.
When he felt that he had almost picked it, he reached into the basket, gathered it all in his hand, tried it, and muttered, "It should be enough for a bowl."
Looking at the dog that had been surrounding him at his feet, he lightly kicked it twice and said, "Go away, go away, I'll fry it later, and there will still be soup left for you. I even bought it specially today."
The fried beans with fatty meat are very fragrant... Huh? No, Yangyang wants to mix rice with it, it seems..."
"Woooo...woof..."
"Go, go, watch the door. Eat whatever you can later, don't be picky about food."
