Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1190 Brother-in-law Moves to a New Home

Lin Xiuqing carried Ye Chenghu and had to follow him around in circles, panting from the fight. If she didn't check for a moment, he would run away.

“It’s like flying a kite.”

She immediately laughed out of anger, "You are still making sarcastic remarks."

"No, I'm telling the truth."

"Hurry up and take a shower, why are you still watching there?"

"Why does every family have one?"

"what?"

"Fool!"

The one from his eldest brother's family is Ye Chenghe, the one from his second brother's family is the second brother himself, and the one from his family is the fool Ye Chenghu.

Others would have run away when they saw their mother holding a stick, but he was still standing there, sticking his neck out and talking stubbornly.

Even if I am beaten to death, I can only say Amitabha.

"You're crazy. You don't know anything. I'll go cook something for you."

Ye Yaodong responded and went back to his room to take a shower.

Ye Xiaoxi looked at her father and then at her mother, hesitated for a moment and decided to follow her mother because her mother wanted to cook something to eat.

After the eldest brother received a beating, the remaining two behaved exceptionally well for most of the day, but the two brothers still did not get along.

Ye Chenghu was still upset that he had worked so hard to get 100 points in the exam to go to the city, but the two of them were able to go there so easily.

So he sulked alone for the whole afternoon, but Ye Chengyang didn't care about him and went to herd sheep happily.

It was not until the evening when the two brothers were about to go to bed that they started arguing again.

The two were originally sleeping together, but Ye Chenghu remembered that Ye Chengyang ran away at noon, leaving him to be beaten, so he locked the door and did not let Ye Chengyang come in to sleep.

The two brothers were swearing at each other through the door. If they couldn't see each other, they would probably have started fighting again, but Ye Chengyang kicked the door anyway.

Lin Xiuqing felt a headache after listening to this. She took the stick and went upstairs, cursing again. The old lady followed her upstairs and stopped her from hitting people, protecting Ye Chengyang behind her.

"Go to my room and sleep in my room at night, then your mother won't be able to beat you."

Ye Chengyang obediently ran downstairs and slipped into the old lady's room.

"I'm so angry with these two... You're old and still don't stop, why are you following me?"

The old lady laughed and said, "Come up and take a look. It's time to go to bed. Don't scare the child or he will have a nightmare at night."

"You are so stubborn, it would be strange if you had a nightmare." Lin Xiuqing helped her down slowly.

Ye Chengyang had already hidden in the old lady's bed.

The old lady was also at the door, with her hands spread out to block Lin Xiuqing from entering. "Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow. Yangyang can sleep with me."

"You're the one who spoiled me."

"Go to bed quickly..." He pushed her twice and then quickly closed the door after pushing her out.

Ye Chengyang also stuck his head out from under the quilt and coaxed the old lady, "Grandma, I will sleep with you every day from now on."

"Okay." The old lady smiled and closed the door and turned off the lights.

Ye Yaodong was having fun with Ye Xiaoxi in the room. When he saw her enter the room and lock the door, he asked, "Are you done?"

"How can we fight when the old one is protecting us?"

"Have you prepared the red envelope?"

"Get ready and go to bed early. Tomorrow I have to go to my mother's house to pick up my second sister-in-law's family, my two sisters' families, and my eldest sister-in-law's family. It's a big group."

"Yes, I have told the tractor driver in the workshop to pick him up early tomorrow morning."

They had discussed it in the afternoon and decided to pick up Ah Qing and her sister-in-law's family first, and then take a boat there to avoid having to take a car all the way and going to the wedding banquet in a dusty and dirty manner.

Moreover, taking them to the village first would give Ah Qing some face. Her husband is so capable, with a bunch of boats and a bustling workshop. Her family members could also take a look and see for themselves the good life she is leading now.

Anyway, Lin Xiangyang is driving a tractor in the city now, so it will be convenient for him to pick them up at the dock in advance.

Tomorrow we can bring Wang Guangliang and a few others with us, pull them all over on one boat, and let them receive the goods at the dock. It's worth it to carry so many people and do so many things in one trip with just the fuel cost.

"Then go to bed early, go to bed early and get up early. I have already polished your leather shoes for you."

"I want to wear leather shoes too." Ye Xiaoxi sat on him and played with a smile.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "There are no leather shoes for a child as young as you. You can wear them when you are older. I bought you new cotton shoes. You will wear new clothes and new shoes tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong smiled and laid her down on the bed, "Go to sleep quickly. I'll take you on your father's big boat tomorrow."

"Yeah."

Ye Xiaoxi was extremely happy. She cooperated very well and lay down in the corner. Then she pulled the quilt over and wrapped herself tightly. She also wrapped the baby beside her tightly and closed her eyes.

Lin Xiuqing also turned off the lights and went to bed.

The next morning, the whole family put on new clothes and new shoes.

The children couldn't help showing off. They ran around in their new clothes and shoes, showing off to their friends that they were going to the city to attend a wedding.

Without a doubt, he received a lot of envious looks and a group of followers.

Winter vacation has begun, and the village is full of children running and jumping, especially around the workshop. Children like to run to the beach in the first place, and the workshop has been so busy recently.

The children of the Ye family have been in the limelight in the past two years. Everything they have is the first of its kind, either bought from the provincial capital or the city. They bring all kinds of novel toys and stationery, which have greatly broadened the horizons of the children in the village.

So much so that all the children in the village like to run to their doorstep and play with their children, and these children have become the kings of the children in their circle of friends in their respective age groups.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing sat in front of the workshop to bask in the sun, chat with the villagers, and wait for the tractor to pick them up.

He also told Ye's father and mother to take care of the house and the workshop, and that they would be back in the evening and would not spend the night outside.

"Dad, when are we going?"

"Mom, why don't you leave?"

"When will my cousins ​​come?"

"Why haven't you come yet..."

While they were playing with other children, they did not forget to run over and urge them to come, as they really couldn't wait any longer.

The long-awaited tractor came back, pulling a load of people. Everyone shouted excitedly and ran after the tractor.

"I'm coming……"

"We are going to the city to attend a wedding banquet."

"We are going to the city by boat~"

All the children surrounded them enviously, watching the people on the tractor jump down one by one.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also walked towards the tractor and greeted the people who got off the vehicle.

Lin Xiuqing's second sister-in-law looked at the workshop in front of her, stood on tiptoe and looked around, and said in surprise.

"Oh, has Adong become so successful? Look at how big this workshop is, divided into two sides, and how many workers are hired, dozens of people. How much does it cost per day?"

Lin Xiuqing's third sister, Lin Xiumei, also said curiously, "I heard there are more than a dozen or twenty boats, and the whole town is famous for them."

Mrs. Lin: "Not only that, she's famous in other provinces, and has brought honor to our family..."

Lin Xiuqing's fourth sister, Lin Xiufang, said, "Ah Qing is still good at finding someone. It's a little far, but her husband is promising."

Lin Xiumei: "We have finally gotten through these hard times. You will enjoy life in the future. So many people have worked for you. You must have made a lot of money."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "No, the expenses are also high. These lands, boats and everything else all cost a lot of money to buy. It's a lot of money."

Lin Xiufang: "You must have made a lot of money. How can you buy these things without money? These alone are worth a lot of money. You can be said to have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hard work..."

The men were chatting in one circle, the women were talking in another circle, and the children were chattering in another circle. They were all very excited, as everyone had been looking forward to it for many days.

They should be so proud that they can travel so far, even to the city.

After Ye Yaodong exchanged pleasantries with them, he said, "Let's go. I'll wait for you. We'll talk slowly on the boat."

"Let's go, let's go to the city~"

The children screamed in surprise and all rushed to the pier, vying for the first one to arrive.

A bunch of dogs also sprinted beside them.

They ran in front and the adults gave instructions from behind.

"Slow down, don't fall. If your new clothes get damaged or dirty, I'll beat you up later..."

A large group of people were walking towards the pier in a lively manner, talking as they walked, and many people behind them looked at them enviously as they left.

Ye Yaodong first boarded the ship No. 006 that he had on hand. This new ship was now completely in their hands as a shuttle ship.

"First, get on this small boat and use it to take everyone to the Dongsheng in the middle of the sea. We will take the big ship to the city later. For now, let's just make do with this."

"How can you say this is just a compromise? I think this boat is pretty good."

"Yes, this boat looks quite new and not too small."

"Didn't you say you had more than a dozen ships? Why didn't you see the other ships?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "The other boats have all been rented out. We can't just buy one back. The weather has been good lately, so all the boats have gone out to sea. This boat is left at home to receive the cargo."

"This is my second time here, and I realized that you have changed so much in the past few years. Now you live like a rich lady, just collecting rent every day."

"That ship in the middle of the sea looks really big. It must have cost tens of thousands, right? Your family is really very powerful now, right?"

Lin Xiuqing's sisters and sisters-in-law all surrounded her and talked to her, feeling extremely envious.

In the past, because of the long distance and the fact that everyone had their own families, they had less contact with each other. At most, they would occasionally meet each other and say a few words during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, but visiting each other was impossible.

So this was their second time coming after Lin Xiuqing got married. The first time was when she gave birth to her child, which was one month old.

People were poor in those days. When giving birth to a child, at most the first one would be a bit of a commotion, but subsequent ones would just be simply ignored. So after so many years, her sister only had her second period.

The two brothers-in-law and the father-in-law would take turns coming over every few days to deliver gifts, and Ye Yaodong was only familiar with the men in her family.

When women get together, they always have endless topics to talk about. Even when the cold wind is howling, they can still chatter non-stop.

Ye Yaodong was even less familiar with his brothers-in-law and they didn't have much to talk about. They just chatted casually, talking about random things and smoking non-stop.

His eyes were always on the children, worried that they were too excited, too close to the edge of the boat, and worried that they might be too naughty and cause accidents.

"You guys be careful."

"Dad, this boat is so fun to rock around on..."

"We are in the middle of the sea..."

Ye Yaodong instructed the boatmen standing nearby, "You all should help keep an eye on the little ones. There are so many children, don't let them get close to the side of the boat."

“Everyone is watching.”

"Adong is now considered a big boss, with so many people working for him..."

"Haha, it's not bad, I can make a living."

"that's humble……"

When the small boat was transferred to the big ship, everyone became even more excited. They all felt it was extremely rare and excitedly walked around to look around as soon as they got on the ship.

Fortunately, there were many adults there, all watching over the children.

After he got on the ship, he immediately climbed up to the wheelhouse. A few daring children also wanted to climb up to have a look, but they were held back by the adults. They were not allowed to climb up or down and were only asked to stay on the deck or in the cabin.

Today's experience made them so excited. Going to the city and taking a boat ride gave them so much anticipation and novelty at once.

But this was only short-lived. Half an hour after the ship set sail, everyone's excitement had almost passed. They calmed down a little and were able to stay on the deck obediently.

After driving for an hour, most of them were exhausted, and some even developed fear of the vast ocean.

They would be excited for a short time, but facing the boundless sea for a long time, with no shore in sight, and the fishing boat drifting like a small boat in the middle of the sea, watching the waves hitting the bow, they began to feel panicked and they couldn't help but develop a sense of fear of the sea.

Ye Yaodong was driving the boat and had no idea that the people below were already getting scared and kept asking how long it would take to arrive.

He thought that after the excitement wore off, they would start to get scared, but there were so many people below that it was enough to calm them down and he didn't need to worry about it.

He drove the boat attentively, and the number of people on the deck gradually decreased. They all hid in the cabins. Not having to look directly at the sea also reduced their fear.

No one got seasick along the way. After we discussed the route yesterday, he called them to inform them to prepare seasickness patches or seasickness medicine. Everything was prepared in advance.

After the fishing boat stopped at the city shore, everyone felt a little dazed.

"arrive?"

"finally reached……"

When Ye Yaodong came down from the wheelhouse, he saw everyone coming out of the cabin listlessly with pale faces. They did not have the spirited look they had when they first boarded the ship.

"Are you guys okay?"

Ye Chenghu said weakly, "Not at all, Dad, let's take a car next time."

Lin Xiangyang ran down from the shore, waved at them and shouted, "I'm coming down."

"Go down. Once you get to the shore, you will be full of life again and you will be a dragon again."

Everyone lined up to get off the boat.

When they first got off the boat, some people lost their balance and swayed a bit, but luckily someone supported them.

After walking ashore step by step, standing on the dock, feeling down to earth, and watching the bustling scene of people coming and going, everyone's faces were filled with smiles again, and they felt energetic again.

"Wow, it's so lively..."

“So many people, so many big houses?”

"This land is also different from our countryside..."

Lin Xiangyang led them towards the tractor, "Get on board, it's already late, the banquet is ready."

Everyone climbed onto the tractor one after another. Ye Yaodong gave 5 yuan to Wang Guangliang and his friends, and told them to find a place to eat first and arrange the afternoon delivery time themselves.

After he finishes lunch, he will definitely have to stay until the evening and have dinner before he can leave, so we can go back together by then.

The tractor drove all the way to the wholesale market. Except for Ye Yaodong, everyone stood there looking around curiously.

As we watched, their mouths went from being wide enough to fit an egg to being filled with all kinds of exclamations and excited chatter, especially the children, whose voices were the loudest.

What they saw and heard today was an experience they had never had before.

It was the first time I saw more people than at a market, the first time I saw a place countless times larger than a village, and the first time I saw so many cars.

The melancholy feeling that I had during the boat ride was gone, replaced by excitement again.

When the tractor arrived at the wholesale market, Ye Chenghu spoke the loudest, "It's here. I've been here. It's right here."

"My uncle has moved to the city and has become a city dweller. When can our family move to the city too?" Lin Xiangyang's youngest son couldn't even close his eyes and asked his mother in a murmur.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "That's going to have to wait until your father makes a lot of money."

"May Dad make a lot of money every day."

The tractor stopped in front of a new house, and everyone knew they had arrived.

Father Lin and Lin Xianghui had been waiting at the door for a long time, and they came over with smiles on their faces.

"You must be starving. It's time to eat."

"Is it right here? It's very close to the market, just opposite."

"The new building is so beautiful, and it even has a yard."

"The building is really nice, much prettier than our little house."

"Come in. There are several tables in the yard. There's no one else here except our family, the village cadres, and our neighbors. You can sit anywhere you want."

Everyone walked in, talking excitedly.

Father Lin walked up to Ye Yaodong and said, "Thank you for bringing so many people here at once. You have to pick them up early in the morning and send them here by boat..."

"Dad, you are being polite. You and my elder brother have helped me with so many things. I am just meeting some relatives. How much trouble is this?"

"Haha, nothing happened on the road? There were so many people and so many children."

"It's nothing, there are many adults, they can all keep an eye on it."

"That's good, sit down and eat first."

The atmosphere in the yard was tense and two tables were already full. Father Lin had invited not only his own relatives, but also village cadres, the previous landlord, and neighbors.

Ye Yaodong recognized almost everyone and greeted them with a smile before taking his seat. The children had already run around the room.

While touring the house, Lin Xiuqing and several other women gave all the red envelopes to Mrs. Lin, and then took the child out and sat down.

They were delayed for a little while and it was already 12 o'clock when they arrived. After they sat down, they immediately set off firecrackers and started the feast.

"Xiang Hui has made great progress. I didn't expect that after working hard in the city for only one year, he could build such a big house."

"Isn't it? Now they bring Xiangyang to the city, and they can raise one by one and build a family."

"It's the son-in-law who's responsible. He's the one who started it all..."

Everyone was talking at once and complimenting Lin Xianghui and Ye Yaodong, and the atmosphere was particularly tense.

Everyone was very happy. Some of them had never traveled far in their lives, at most to their own town. Now they could come to the city for a free banquet, and they were very excited and kept saying good things.

The children running and jumping during the banquet added to the atmosphere, making it look very joyous.

Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.

After the banquet, both adults and children could not wait to go to the city to have a look around.

Lin Xianghui also had arrangements. He took everyone to visit the market and asked Lin Xiangyang to drive a tractor to take everyone to the busiest street in the city.

Ye Yaodong was very familiar with the city and had no interest in it. However, his three children must go for a stroll in the city. Lin Xiuqing could not take care of the three of them alone, so he had to accompany them.

For the entire afternoon, a large group of them were strolling around the city. The adults were unusually generous in their shopping, and the children also bought something.

There are still about 20 days until the Chinese New Year. The city is now more lively than ever, and there are an unusually large variety of goods, which dazzles everyone.

Lin Xiuqing discussed it with Ye Yaodong and decided to buy more things. They could prepare the New Year's goods in advance and just buy them here and take them back.

But as they were walking around, Ye Yaodong suddenly saw a familiar figure.

He stepped forward in surprise and patted Lin Jishang on the shoulder, "Why are you here?"

Lin Jishang also looked at him in surprise, "What a coincidence! I haven't been home for several months, so I planned to buy something to bring home."

"I thought you went in. I haven't seen you for months."

"Almost."

"what?"

Lin Jishang didn't say much and changed the subject, "Why are you here?"

Ye Yao pointed at his wife and children who were looking around and said, "My brother-in-law is moving, and the whole family is coming to attend the wedding. I'll take them out for a walk and buy them some things to take back."

"When to go back?"

"Let's drive back after dinner, what about you?"

"Go back tomorrow."

At this time, a woman came over and stood beside Lin Ji Shang, looking at him curiously.

"Ah Shang, who is this?"

Ye Yaodong looked over with a strange expression.

Lin Ji felt a little uncomfortable. He took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the woman, asking her to go buy something first and not disturb them while they were talking.

The woman smiled and walked to the side consciously.

"Good fellow, no wonder I haven't seen you for months, it turns out you're living a carefree life outside, you're great."

"No, I just was busy these few months, so I didn't go back. Well, don't tell anyone."

"I understand. I'll tell my wife and kids about this later, but you better take it easy."

"Well, I'll take the person away first."

Ye Yaodong nodded and walked towards Lin Xiuqing, who was looking at them from time to time.

Lin Xiuqing was still looking there curiously, "Who is that woman over there?"

"Don't say too much, and don't tell anyone when you get back."

"I knew that you men would turn bad once you got rich. You guys wouldn't go home for months and keep mistresses outside. You're not good people. Your wife is at home taking care of the kids and doing the housework for you, while he's out there having a good time..."

"Shh, the kids are here, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him fiercely, "Do you have it?"

"You're crazy. I always bring my dad with me when I go out. How could I do such a thing?"

"Does that mean you can do whatever you want without your dad?"

"Don't misinterpret my meaning. He can do what he wants. You can't generalize and think that I will do the same. I am an honest man."

"When have you ever been honest? You are so lazy and careless. I think you are even more dishonest than him."

"It's a huge injustice, I am more wronged than Dou E. I am a decent person, I went out to make money, I never had a carefree life, every day I live a hard life."

"Hmph." Lin Xiuqing turned her head to look at the child and didn't speak to him.

Ye Yaodong also felt that this was not the right time to say this outside, even though others couldn't understand what they were saying.

In fact, he could understand Lin Jishang. As a man, at his prime age, with money on hand and his wife not around, he would do dangerous things.

If you are carrying pressure, you have to find a way to relieve it.

And sometimes, even if you don't take the initiative, there will be women who come to you. Most of them will believe that if someone comes to you, you have to take it.

"Those aunties were right. They all told me to keep a closer eye on you."

Ye Yaodong begged for mercy, "Yes, yes, please keep a close eye on it and we'll talk about it when we get back."

"He's just staying out like this? Not coming back?"

"No, he said he would go back tomorrow."

"Don't associate with him anymore."

"Of course. I'm also afraid that he will lead me astray."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said nothing.

The three children were so attracted by the pile of gadgets in front of them that they didn't care what the adults said. They liked this and that and were reluctant to leave.

Ye Yaodong generously bought everything they wanted and then took them out.

The place where they gather is where they get off the bus. Those who arrive first will wait there first, and then they will take the bus back together when everyone is together.

There were fewer tables set up in the evening, and no village cadres or neighbors were invited. There was only the boatload of relatives that came over.

After finishing the meal, before it got dark, everyone got on the tractor and left contentedly.

After arriving at the dock, Ye Yaodong asked the few people who were still receiving goods to finish their work, and took a group of people on board to wait.

Everyone was chattering, and some were reluctant to go back, but it was already dark.

However, this trip was worthwhile for everyone. We saw the hustle and bustle of the city without spending much money, had a banquet, and bought a lot of things. We can talk about it proudly for days after returning.

They all looked forward to coming back next time.

Ye Yaodong was thinking that when he got home Ah Qing would pester him again.

How could she be seen with a woman in Linji?

He was the innocent one affected, even though he was obviously a very honest person and had no evil intentions.

I never thought that there would be a red flag flying at home and colorful flags fluttering outside.

But what can he do is that he is too handsome. All the guys in Linji have women, and his wallet is no less empty than his.

Damn, it feels so good. No wonder I couldn’t find anyone for the past few months.

After everyone was on board, he took inventory and asked them to count their own family members. Only when everyone was found to be missing could they set sail for home.
