Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1199 Fooling
A head stuck out of the window upstairs, and a head also stuck out of the window of the old lady's room downstairs.

Two pairs of envious eyes and the downturned corners of their mouths all revealed their feelings at the moment.

Ye Yaodong glanced upstairs, glanced downstairs, then got on his motorcycle and walked out slowly, ignoring the two guys at all.

The two heads remained there until the shadow of the motorcycle disappeared. Only when the sound of the motorcycle completely disappeared did the two little heads droop back.

I really don't let them follow.

Even if you give it to a dog, they won't follow it.

They walked through the village and out of the village. All the children they saw around were extremely envious. The whole village knew that Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang's father had a motorcycle, which was very cool.

He is really handsome, even wearing sunglasses.

How come this isn't their father!
All the children were a little disappointed with their children, and some of the ignorant ones went home and asked their father why he didn't buy them a motorcycle, and were pleasantly slapped in the face.

Ye Yaodong was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, his head and neck were wrapped tightly, he was wearing gloves on his hands, and he was wearing sunglasses on his face, so he was really not affected by the wind at all.

After Ye Xiaoxi shouted excitedly for a while, the wind blew in her face and her eyes hurt. The scarf could only cover half of her face, so she simply closed her eyes, bent down, grabbed a dog, and buried her head in it.

The dog she caught was almost suffocated by her hug. It barked twice, but she patted its head twice, so it had to stay in her arms obediently.

Not all the dogs were taken with them. There were three squeezed into the truck bed. When the truck just drove out of the yard, there were a bunch of dogs running after it.

These are the ones who lost the fight and couldn't get in, so they can't take the bus and can only run on all fours.

When we left the village, the dogs were still running around the motorcycle, as if they were guarding it.

Ye Yaodong suddenly stopped on the side of the road.

The dogs running beside the motorcycle were caught off guard and rushed out, then slammed on the brakes and turned their heads to shout at him.

"Woof woof woof woof..."

Lin Xiuqing was also puzzled, "Why?"

"A bunch of dogs are running around here, don't you see? It's bad enough that I can't get it on the truck bed, but there are a bunch of dogs following me around. What's going on?"

"There are indeed too many. When I came out earlier, I heard some kids excitedly calling you the Dog King..."

Ye Yaodong's face froze, "Fuck..."

He had a nasty face and yelled at the dogs, "Go back now. If you don't, you won't know who will be left behind. If you don't catch up, you will be caught on the road and stewed for dog meat."

All the dogs came together and barked wildly around the motorcycle.

Ye Yaodong kicked the dog that was close to him casually, "Go back, why are you following me?"

"Wow..."

The Dalmatian tilted its head, then growled and moved closer to bite his trouser leg.

"Go! Go! Go……"

The dog, who was originally held tightly in Ye Xiaoxi's arms, took the opportunity to break free from her and jumped down, preferring to walk rather than take the car, and almost lost its life.

The Dalmatian was biting Ye Yaodong's trouser leg and took the opportunity to jump into the car hood. Seeing this, the other dogs also rushed forward, and in an instant the group of dogs started fighting again.

"Ahhh...bad dog, stinky dog, go away..."

Ye Xiaoxi was about to be drowned by the dogs. Some dogs jumped on her and pulled her. She waved her hands angrily to throw the dogs away.

"Dad, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the restless group of dogs and rubbed his forehead with a headache, "I should have known not to keep so many dogs."

"You knew it too late. This is because your daughter gave six or seven to Xiaoyu, otherwise there would be more at home."

"This is too fertile. It has a litter in its entire life."

"Dad, let's go, let's go..."

Ye Xiaoxi didn't have time to pull this dog, nor to kick that dog. She was so busy that she could only keep urging Ye Yaodong to leave quickly.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to start the car again. With the sound of the engine, the motorcycle rushed out with a hum.

But the speed is not very fast, it's all dirt road and all gravel.

After the dogs at the back reacted, they also started running forward.

Ye Yaodong did not stop along the way, but he did not drive very fast, so the group of dogs could keep up with him even if they ran.

People along the way also saw a rare and bizarre scenery. A group of dogs were running around a motorcycle, with three of them staying in the bed. Before the envy had finished, surprise appeared on their faces.

Ye Yaodong didn't care what passers-by thought and headed straight for Anhe Township.

As soon as we entered the village, we were discovered by the children. They were like people with chicken blood, howling and running wildly behind the motorcycle with the dogs.

The dogs were running and barking, and they were shouting at the motorcycle.

It was not until the motorcycle stopped in front of Lin's father's house that the children behind him stopped, panting.

"Uncle, why are you riding so fast? I called you from behind, but you didn't respond."

"I told you that they were my aunt and uncle, but you still didn't believe me... Do you see it now?"

"I told you guys a long time ago, my aunt has a motorcycle, and I've ridden it before..."

"See? My uncle is so handsome, so cool, so majestic..."

"Where are the two cousins?"

"Aunt, why didn't Cheng Hu and Yang Yang come?"

Before the family of three got off the motorcycle, they were surrounded by excited children, asking questions one after another.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and got out of the car first, then picked up Ye Xiaoxi. The dog in Ye Xiaoxi's arms was almost rolling its eyes, but fortunately she let go in time.

As soon as she got out of the truck, a replacement dog jumped in.

"Those two were too naughty yesterday and today. They were beaten and couldn't get out of bed, so I won't take them with me."

"Oh, that's too miserable. I thought I could play with them. I caught another turtle this morning..." said Lin Guangwen, who is about the same age as Ye Chenghe.

Ye Yaodong also got off the motorcycle with a smile, "That's perfect, let's kill a chicken and stew it together."

"No! You can't eat it. Cheng Hu has raised that one for a long time and shows it off to me every day. I want to raise one too."

Father Lin looked at them being surrounded by a group of people. Some neighbors also came over to look at the motorcycles with envy. They said a lot of envious words and even touched them. He couldn't get a word in.

Lin Guangwen and the other kids were a little unhappy when they saw their neighbors touching the motorcycles without any hesitation. They quickly held hands and formed a circle to separate the motorcycles, shouting at them not to touch them or they would break them.

Father Lin then interrupted and scolded with a smile: "How rude! How can you do this?"

"You can't touch it without permission, it will break!"

The adults just said it out of consideration and didn't care about their behavior.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing took down the things that were fixed on the car, and said to Lin's father: "Today is the Little New Year. I originally planned to come here tomorrow, but I was afraid that I would not have time later and I had to go out of town, so I came here today."

"If you don't have time, forget it. It's not that particular. You can come back during the first month of the lunar year. It will save you the trouble of running back and forth."

"That's as it should be. There's no way to save the New Year gifts."

Mr. and Mrs. Lin were all very happy, which made them very proud.

The neighbors around are so envious.

"Your son-in-law is so good..."

"Your son-in-law took your whole family to the city to earn money, and he didn't even miss the New Year holidays."

"Ah Qing is really good at finding people. Do you have any good young men you can recommend?"

Ye Xiaoxi was short and nearly drowned by the enthusiastic neighbors. “Oh, I’m being squeezed to death…”

Mother Lin quickly picked her up and said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said to the group of children who were still holding hands around the motorcycle: "Keep an eye on my motorcycle, there will be red envelopes later."

They immediately perked up and shouted loudly, "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of it."

"Yes, no one can touch it."

The room was filled with joy and there were many people outside watching the fun.

Lin's family is now famous in the village. Everyone knows that their family has been taken to the city by their son-in-law to make money.

As a result, the Lin family's large group of children also enjoyed special status among the other children, and all the children in the village envied them.

No matter whether they came to the city to work or do something else, they went to places that no one has been to.

After Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing and his wife arrived, they were treated well. All the relatives of the Lin family, as long as they were related to the family, came to visit them.

There was so much space that there was no room to sit in the room, and a large group of people were standing. All of them had smiling faces and complimented Ye Yaodong in various ways.

She also praised Lin Xiuqing for her good fortune in marrying a good husband.

Ye Yaodong could hardly withstand their enthusiasm and his face froze with laughter.

I wanted to go out and bask in the sun, but I couldn't escape from everyone's encirclement. I could only bite the bullet and listen to everyone's praises.

I have never heard so many compliments so openly in my life as I did this time. A large group of people took turns to say it to me. In the past, I only heard a few words in passing.

However, when everyone was praising him, they also did not forget to promote themselves or their own children. They asked him to help with work and wanted to entrust their children to him so that he could take them out to make money.

Ye Yaodong stayed at the Lin family for most of the day and was surrounded by a group of people. He could only escape for a few minutes by going to the toilet.

Even his dog received a warm welcome from the Lin family and their neighbors, and had a much better lunch.

When it was time to leave, Ye Yaodong wanted to escape as much as possible, but the dogs lingered around, circling around him a few times before running after him.

Ye Yaodong deliberately slowed down his pace to let the dogs catch up, otherwise he would definitely be cooked for his stupid appearance.

"I'm so tired, I feel more tired than a day out at sea, my face is frozen from smiling."

Lin Xiuqing felt the same way. "Yes, it feels more tiring than working a day at home. They are so welcoming, and we have to smile too. We are all relatives."

"Fortunately, I came today. I can find an excuse to go home and worship the Kitchen God. Otherwise, I will have no reason to leave early tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing deeply agreed with this.

"Count the dogs and see if there are any missing. Don't put them in the pot."

"No, I just counted them. The children at home were all playing with the dogs and watching them. They didn't get taken away by anyone."

"That's fine. I'm just afraid they'll be tricked away by a little food."

The couple slowed down and talked for a few words, then after the dogs caught up and they were on the road, they sped up.

There is no need to worship the Kitchen God so early during the Little New Year. You can arrange the worship and light incense during dinner, and then burn the gold ingots after dinner.

When they arrived home, the old lady had already cooked the meal and washed and laid out the offerings for the Kitchen God that Lin Xiuqing had bought in the morning, and was waiting for them to come back.

They don't need to do anything when they come back, just burn incense and set off firecrackers.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were still lying on the bed, one upstairs and one downstairs, neither showing up.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi entered the door, she excitedly looked for her brother.

"Brother, I have red envelopes, lots of red envelopes..."

"Brother, where are the people?"

"What about brother?"

The old lady smiled and pointed to her room and upstairs, and she immediately ran to her room.

"Brother, look at my red envelope, my pocket is full..."

"There are lots of candies and peanuts here..."

"Brother, why don't you speak?"

"Brother, look! Look quickly!"

"Brother, why are you angry..."

"Brother, why don't you come with us today..."

"Brother, look, look, a red envelope with lots of money..."

Ye Chengyang was so depressed that he didn't want to care, but she had to bring it to him to show him.

"You're so annoying, go upstairs and find your big brother!"

"Okay, I don't like you anymore, and I don't want to share the food with you. I'll go find big brother and give him the food."

Ye Xiaoxi felt that Yangyang was so boring. She took the initiative to share, but he ignored her.

Pouting, she hummed as she put the red envelopes back into her pocket one by one, and also put all the candies and peanuts back into her pocket, not leaving any for him.

Then she happily went upstairs again and continued to share her joy and happiness with Ye Chenghu. Unexpectedly, her elder brother went even further and yelled at her directly.

"Are you annoying? I'm not."

"Then you give me yours, and I'll be happy..."

"roll roll roll……"

Ye Xiaoxi was so angry that she ran downstairs again and complained.

"Dad, my brother scolded me! He told me to get out and wanted my red envelope."

"Then I won't give him any food tonight. I'll give you all the fruits and candies on the table when we remove them later."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded heavily, satisfied.

"Go wash your hands and eat."

The whole family sat down to eat, except for Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang.

The old lady even took a bowl and plate to put the food on, intending to serve it to the two brothers, but Ye Yaodong snatched it away.

"They are spoiled. They don't want to eat or not. If they want to eat, they crawl out by themselves. If they don't want to eat, forget it. Why do they have to be sent to the bed? They are not missing any limbs. Why are they so delicate?"

"It hurts when I move, you can't hit me so hard..."

"It's good that they didn't hang me up and beat me. Just eat your meal and ignore them."

The old lady stood there for a while, but she felt uneasy about letting Ye Chengyang sit down to eat, so she went back to her room and brought Ye Chengyang out to eat.

Ye Chengyang looked aggrieved. His butt hurt but he didn't dare to sit down, so he could only eat standing there, tears falling into the bowl.

"Brother, why are you crying? Don't you want to eat?"

Ye Chengyang turned around and looked at the unfriendly eyes of his biological parents, and quickly held back his tears. He still had to eat.

Ye Xiaoxi just complained and caused Ye Chenghu to have no food to eat. He heard it and he didn't want to have no food to eat either.

Ye Yaodong patted Ye Xiaoxi's head and said, "Eat your meal."

"I know, my brother likes to eat with tears."

"That's all you can say."

Ye Xiaoxi shook his head and felt that he was very smart.

However, when she wasn't paying attention, Lin Xiuqing secretly took away all the red envelopes in her pocket.

When she was at the Lin family before, she wanted to put it away, but the little girl was not so easy to fool after she grew up a year older.

She held the red envelope tightly and refused to give it to the child. She couldn't let the child cry because of taking the red envelope outside, so she could only let her keep it first and keep a close eye on it.

Now is a good time to secretly bring it to her and put it away while eating.

But she knew that this year, because her parents and her elder and second brothers all went to the city to make money, the red envelopes they all gave were very big.

Which kid has so many red envelopes?

Ye Xiaoxi didn't expect that her red envelope would disappear after just having a meal.

After finishing her meal, she ran out happily, wanting to run to the next door to show off her red envelope. She showed off at home but not outside.

But when I felt my pockets, there was nothing.

"What about my red envelope?"

"Where are my red envelopes? There are so many red envelopes..."

Her rosy face turned pale in an instant and she burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

"My red envelope is gone... waa ...

A bunch of brothers and sisters surrounded her, comforted her and said they would help her find the name. Only then did she stop crying.

But the door was so small, and she didn't dare tell Lin Xiuqing. She looked everywhere but couldn't find it. She was so panicked, sad, and scared that she ran home crying.

"Mom, the red envelope is gone, the red envelope fell..."

"Mom, please don't hit me... I'll give it to you next time..."

"Don't kill me... Don't kill me..."

Ye Xiaoxi's tears and snot were streaming down her face. She was crying so sadly that her legs were shaking as she hugged Lin Xiuqing, fearing that she would be beaten to death.

Ye Yaodong smiled in a somewhat unkind way.

When he was burning gold ingots at the door, he heard her crying loudly and knew that she found that her red envelope had fallen. He said nothing and watched a group of people looking for the red envelopes leisurely.

Admiring her shocked and frightened expression.

There was nothing he could do now, he couldn’t find it, so he ran back crying. It was really funny.

Lin Xiuqing was washing dishes, so she quickly wiped her hands, held back her laughter, touched her head and comforted her.

"Okay, stop crying. It's just a loss. Next time, remember to give the red envelope to me. Don't take it yourself. Got it? Look at you. You just took it yourself and lost a lot of money."

"I won't hit you today. I'll save it for now. If you don't behave next time, I'll beat you to death. You'll be unable to get out of bed like your brother."

Ye Xiaoxi was very sad. She nodded sadly, tears still falling down.

"Hmm, how come it didn't fall off? It was still there just now... wuwu..."

Ye Yaodong came in with a smile, felt his pocket, and took out a two-cent coin and gave it to her. "Okay, stop crying. If the red envelope is lost, it's lost. I'll give it to you. Anyway, there's so much food today, you don't have to go shopping."

She immediately took it, wiped her tears, and handed it to Lin Xiuqing obediently, "Mom, I'll keep it with you."

Lin Xiuqing almost couldn't help laughing, "Okay, keep it here with me."

Ye Yaodong laughed to death.

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, then grabbed a handful of candy and put it back into her empty pocket where she had put the red envelope. "Okay, it's full again, let's go out and play."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the two full pockets and was immediately satisfied. He ran out happily.

"Is it okay for you to lie to a child like this? My daughter is so innocent, and you fooled her into being dumbfounded. She was obviously very smart, but she became stupid in an instant."

Lin Xiuqing was so happy now, "It's only this small one that can be fooled, do you think you can fool those two big ones?"

"Save some New Year's money this year!"

"Three."

"No, what my daughter receives will have to go into your pocket."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't hide the smile on her face.

After the couple made fun of Ye Xiaoxi, they got down to business.

"Have you received all your wages?"

"When you came back the day before yesterday, it was exactly the 31st. I paid them all their wages, but they worked in the workshop all day yesterday and didn't work today. I will pay them another day's wages tomorrow."

"There are also a few regular employees like Wang Guangliang who will receive red envelopes on New Year's Eve. The same goes for the boatmen."

"I know. After a couple of days, when all the fishing boats stop going out to sea, we'll have to settle the accounts. How many days will you be in Zhejiang Province?"

"It will take two days to go back and forth. Let's stay one more day, or three days. I'll go there early tomorrow morning and arrive home on the evening of the twenty-seventh day of the lunar calendar. I'll also bring back some local New Year goods to give to others."

Lin Xiuqing counted on her fingers and realized that she would get home in the evening of the 27th, and would start her day off on the 28th. She would still have two days off before New Year's Eve.

"That's about right. We'll go to the bank on the 28th to exchange the money. It will probably take a day."

"Indeed, I'll exchange some new banknotes for red envelopes for everyone when the time comes."

"Yes, new banknotes. Everyone likes new banknotes."

"I'll go out and light some firecrackers and then notify the boatmen to set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong strolled towards the village. It was getting dark at this time. Every household had finished offering sacrifices to the kitchen god. The sound of firecrackers could be heard one after another, some far away and some near.

After offering sacrifices to the kitchen god and burning the golden ingots, a string of firecrackers should be set off.

He passed by every household in the village, and saw a broken iron pot or a broken washbasin at the door of each house.

Some of them were still emitting flames, some had already burned to ashes, some people were still burning incense sticks, and some were still worshipping in front of the door.

The roads were littered with red paper left over from firecrackers and the joyful figures of children picking up firecrackers. The whole village was filled with the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.

Ye Yaodong notified every household one by one, and ended up pocketing a lot of candy and snacks.

Everyone greeted him with great enthusiasm, stuffed candies and snacks into his pockets, and asked him to take them home for his children to eat. He couldn't be refused.

He had no choice but to fill his bowl and eat as he walked.

"Dongzi, Dongzi..."

"Hey, you fat guy."

"When are you going to the city again?"

"I don't usually see you, but now that something's happened, I can see you everywhere."

"Isn't this New Year's Eve? I'm back to worship the Kitchen God. I wanted to look for you right after I finished setting off firecrackers, and I just happened to run into you. Where are you from?"

"We are going to Vancouver tomorrow, so I will go and inform the boatman."

The fat man's eyes lit up, "Take me with you, take me with you, I'll go with you."

"No, this trip is too far, I won't take it."

"Take me with you. My wife scolded me yesterday, saying that I only know how to eat and drink, and didn't do anything I asked her to do. It just so happens that I have never been out of the province, so let me go with you."

"No, I'll call you when I go to the city in a few days."

Frightened by Lin Guangyuan, he no longer dared to bring inexperienced people on board for sightseeing.

"I'll rent your shop, okay?"

"Okay, sure, I finally got it."

"Okay, it's settled then. What time do we leave tomorrow morning?"

"What is that?" Ye Yaodong was a little unresponsive.

"I want to rent your shop, and you take me there. I asked you if it's okay, and you just said yes."

"Fuck, are you trying to trick me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. You promised me, what time is it tomorrow?"

"roll roll roll……"

The fat man shamelessly stuck to him and followed him all the way home, refusing to leave. Ye Yaodong had no choice but to let him follow him.

As a result, that big mouth of his went out for a walk, and in the early morning of the next day, there were several familiar figures on the beach.

Ye Yaodong glared at Fatty, Xiaoxiao, Zheng, and Guang, "Why are you all here?"

"Fatty called us all together. We thought that the New Year was coming soon, so we had to buy some gifts for people."

"Why are you so shameless?"

The fat man was not afraid of boiling water and smiled, "How can you be shameless? Isn't it more fun with more people? Besides, they have been there before."

The others held Ye Yaodong's arms one by one and dragged him onto the boat.

"Let's go. Stop talking so much nonsense. It's not that difficult for us to just give it a ride."

"that is!"

"Wait, wait, I have to make you sign a life and death agreement..."

"What are these life and death agreements?"

Everyone carried him onto the boat without saying a word. Ye Yaodong could only glare at one and then the other, unable to do anything about them.

But once on the ship, he asked others to drive the boat while he took out paper and pen and started fiddling with writing.

"What are you writing about?"

Ye Yaodong didn't even raise his head, "Press your fingerprints for me later."

"I voluntarily follow Ye Yaodong to Vancouver... I promise to take care of all consequences for myself and others during the journey... What..."

"What did you write?"

Everyone looked at the scribbles on his paper in confusion.

“The handwriting is so ugly.”

"Didn't you say you were practicing calligraphy?"

"Why do you care if my handwriting is ugly? At least I can write it. Can you write it?"

"Tsk, what's the big deal? I'm not going to college."

"Even if you give me eight hundred years, you still won't be able to write well."

"What are you doing?"

After Ye Yaodong finished writing the last few strokes, he blew on the paper and shook it.

"Let me read it to you. I voluntarily follow Ye Yaodong to Vancouver... I will bear all the consequences myself. I and my family shall not pursue any responsibility from the organizers and participants of the event..."

"What are the few..."

Ye Yaodong also wrote it as a joke to tease them.

He told the story of Lin Guangyuan falling into the sea.

"What the hell, this piece of paper is useless..."

"Will you sign it? If not, I'll turn around and send it back to you."

"Sign, sign, sign! You're the only one who has too many things to do."

"Wouldn't it be easy for you to just pay a few thousand dollars?"

"You have to pay the compensation! Then let my whole family come to your house for dinner."

"Can I jump into the sea now?"

I drove all morning and overslept in the afternoon. At least I managed to post it before 7 o'clock. I will write another one and try to post another one after 12 o'clock.
