Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1288: Childish Talk
Ye Yaodong thought that his two brothers already knew about it, so he decided to go and tell the others after dinner and ask for their opinions, to prevent some of them who knew about it from thinking they were being ignored.

Everyone lived not far from each other, so he just took a walk after dinner.

Knowing that they would be able to go back in about 10 days, the workers all cheered. After dinner, when they had nothing to do, they spontaneously followed him to the next house.

After all the notifications were in place, I still chatted with him as usual and went home with him. The atmosphere was as lively as the New Year's Day.

The neighbors thought something was wrong with them, but they found out that these outsiders were planning to go home early.

The old landlady even came to ask Ye Yaodong if he wanted to rent the house again next year. If he did, she would keep the house for him.

Ye Yaodong thought about it and realized that the two rooms he lived in now plus a main room only cost 10 yuan a month.

Besides, the old landlady was a very nice person. She would bring him vegetables grown by them every few days. He would need a place to stay if he came back next year.

He is not sure when he will come next year, so after thinking it over, he gave the landlady 100 yuan and asked her to keep the house for him for 10 months.

He is not sure when he will come, so reserve it in advance and don't rent it out.

Maybe he will come here earlier next year, or maybe he will be free in a couple of months and come to take a look.

After all, the land issue must be sorted out in advance, and we can't wait until all the people come in the second half of the year before starting construction temporarily.

The layman drives a truck and passes by their place every now and then. If possible, he can make contact in advance and take the layman's truck to travel back and forth to do business.

This way you don’t have to worry about inconvenience in taking the bus, and you can get there directly.

The old lady took the 100 yuan, smiled with her toothless gums exposed, and her dark face, like old tree bark, was wrinkled into a ball. She nodded happily and promised that no matter when he came, she would reserve a room for him.

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "I may not come that early. You two old people can move in first. When I come, you can vacate the room."

The house he lives in was originally used by the landlord couple as a retirement home. They are almost 80 years old, and their sons live nearby.

After renting the house, the old landlord couple cleaned out the pigpen at the door where they raised pigs, built a wall, set up a small stove at the door, and moved in.

There is still a thatched house above their heads. When it snowed before, he asked the workers to climb onto the roof and clear the snow for them.

Although he has rented a house now, he will definitely not be here for most of the past six months, so it would be better to let the two old people move in.

The old lady murmured, "How can that be possible? You have all rented them..."

She spoke in the local dialect, and Ye Yaodong guessed what she meant by looking at her waving hands.

"It doesn't matter. If I'm not here, the house will be empty anyway. It will become dilapidated if no one lives in it. Why don't you move in first and move out when I come?"

"Then let me take a look and ask the old man..."

Ye Yaodong looked around and ignored the workers who were rushing into the room and planning to set up the gambling table.

It was icy and snowy and there was nowhere to go, so of course we could only play cards and gamble when we got together. Anyway, we had just finished lunch and it was still early for dinner in the evening.

He looked at his watch, said hello to his father, and walked out again.

The film had to be developed, and he also had to make a phone call home.

I didn't have time to call yesterday, so I asked his father to call first. Now it's time for work, so I can go to the post office to call.

Lin Xiuqing was extremely disappointed that she didn't receive his call yesterday, and Ye Xiaoxi also had his head down for the whole day.

When Ye Xiaoxi heard someone coming to the door and shouting that there was a call for her, she rushed out faster than her, shouting as she ran.

"My dad called me back... My dad called me back..."

She shouted louder and louder, wishing the whole village knew.

He didn't cry even though he fell down halfway. He stood up, patted his knees and clapped his hands, then continued to rush to the village committee.

"Grandpa, my dad called back... Where's my dad's phone number?"

Secretary Chen sat at the door in the sun and said with a smile, "Wait two more minutes, and answer the phone when it rings."

"That's great, Grandpa, my dad is coming back, did you know?"

"My dad said he would buy me a lot of toys, a lot of hairpins, beautiful rubber bands, and a lot of cards..."

"My dad also said he would buy me a lot of delicious food. Grandpa, do you have your dad? Did your dad buy anything for you?"

Secretary Chen's question made her laugh and cry, "My father is old, so I have to buy it for him..."

"When I get old, my father will buy it for me again. He will buy it for me until I am 100 years old..."

"Then you answer the phone later and ask your father if he can buy you a 100-year-old."

"Yeah."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't run as fast as her, so when she arrived, all he could hear was her saying these ridiculous words.

"Your father would have to live to be over 120 years old before he could buy you 100 years old."

"Then I will ask him to live to 120 years old, and buy you lots of delicious food."

"I won't live that long."

"Then let my father give you some, so he can live less."

Everyone around burst into laughter, and Lin Xiuqing couldn't hold back her laughter either.

The women around her smiled and said to her, "Then remember to ask your father if he is willing to live less so that your mother can live longer."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at this and that, not knowing what they were laughing at, and just nodded.

Everyone laughed even more happily.

At this time, the phone in the room rang again, and Ye Xiaoxi was the first to rush in and pick up the phone.

"Hey, is that my dad?"

Ye Yaodong listened to the babyish voice and asked with a smile: "Who is your father?"

"My father is a salted fish..."

The smile on Ye Yaodong's face froze.

“That’s not right.”

“That’s fish sauce dong.”

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ye Yaodong was even more speechless, "No!"

Ye Xiaoxi held the phone in her hand and looked up at Lin Xiuqing, "Mom, he said that what I said was wrong, then what about my father?"

"Why don't you call him President Ye and see if he agrees?"

Ye Xiaoxi quickly asked, "Are you President Ye?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "Yes, you guessed it right."

"Mom, he said he is Chairman Ye, so he is not my father." After saying that, she raised the phone and handed it to Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing took it with a smile, "Your daughter said you are not his father."

Ye Yaodong said depressedly: "I'm not her father, so she was just picked up."

"Why are you teasing her like this when she's fine? She's been mad at you all day because she didn't get your call yesterday."

"What are you reading?"

"He was mumbling like a little adult: You didn't even call me, you didn't even call me every day, you said you were going to buy me a gift, but I didn't see it..."

Lin Xiuqing imitated her tone and spoke.

There is another chapter in the evening, around 1:
