Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1298 Joy
Ye Yaodong looked at her and she tilted her head to glare at him, then laughed embarrassedly.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, haha, this is a good thing. Buying land is a good thing no matter where you go. It's a great bargain. Think about the land in our city, 13 acres, I only spent 1 yuan. It's so good now, I've started to make money from it."

Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "Can't you just finish what you want to say at once? You keep saying it all at once, and my heart is beating fast. Sooner or later, you'll give me a heart attack."

"No, no."

Ye Yaodong raised his hand, wanting to touch her chest, but seeing so many people around, he put his hand back into his pocket and almost forgot about it.

"That area is the port. If you buy a house near the port, it will definitely be the most prosperous area in the future. There are many people from other places there. At worst, you can just convert it into a rental house and make a lot of money."

"Why would the local government sell you such good land?"

"Because there is no plan yet. Didn't they start developing the economy in the past two years? They started developing individuals? There are shabby ruins everywhere. It will slowly develop in the future, just like the market in our city. Who is worried that there will be no people? The port above is full of ships."

"You said everything."

"Believe me, it's only been a few years, I'll take you guys to live a good life."

Lin Xiuqing knew that he had become a better person in recent years. He was much more reliable and had his own ideas. He would not do anything reckless. However, his actions were too big, and he did them with his back to her.

He didn't say anything when he came back, but it kept coming out little by little, making her feel very anxious and uncomfortable.

And the money she spent was not small. She was trembling with fear as she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

They are just ordinary, honest people. That's hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it was borrowed from the bank.

For an average family, let alone paying 20 yuan, they would hesitate even if they wanted to pay 20 yuan, and they would think twice before paying 200 yuan. Paying 2000 yuan would be like asking for the life of the entire family. 2 yuan is already a sky-high price.

20... most people wouldn't even dare to think about it in their lifetime, and this is still a loan...

Then, after talking about the important things, he said lightly, I bought a piece of land...

The light tone of his voice almost made her think that he had bought a cabbage.

"How much does it cost?"

"One million."

Lin Xiuqing took a breath and exhaled, "How big?"

"Three mu and two," he said, and immediately explained, "It's different from place to place. Our city is in the suburbs, and the one above is at the port, which is also cheaper."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's a good thing. Buying land is a good thing. In the future, he won't have to do anything. It's not bad to let his father farm the land. He can also support the whole family and they won't have to worry about food and drink."

Mother Ye said angrily: "You are right. Send his father to another province to farm and bring the vegetables back to feed the whole family."

Lin Xiuqing ignored their interruptions and asked, "What are you going to do with it?"

"I bought it before with a loan, but since I'm from another place, the procedures were complicated..." Ye Yaodong explained everything to her honestly.

Lin Xiuqing really couldn't help but hold his forehead and hit him twice.

"Have you explained everything? Is there anything else you haven't said?"

Ye Yaodong said honestly: "No more."

"Really no more?"

"Does it count if my father found a big gold ring in the garbage dump on that land?"

"What? Your father also found a gold ring?"

Ye's mother immediately looked at Ye's father, "Where's the gold ring? Where is it? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Are you trying to protect me?"

"I, I didn't have time to say..."

Lin Xiuqing heard the couple nearby starting to settle the accounts and glared at Ye Yaodong speechlessly.

The old lady quickly pulled Ye Yaodong to lecture her, "Look at you, you don't want to learn anything, but you have to learn from your father. I'll tell you half and keep the other half."

"If it's important, you have to tell me the first thing you do when you get home. Wouldn't it be fine if you told me earlier? Ah Qing will definitely understand. The money has been spent, and you've made a lot of money and come back..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. Was this meant for her?
Without even looking at the old lady, she asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing else, there are some small things that I need to tell you slowly. I've been away for more than half a year, and a lot of things have happened. Don't I have to tell you one by one slowly?"

Ye Yaodong had finished explaining the important matters and was no longer in a hurry. The remaining matters were just some small details that were not important.

He added, "I was planning to tell you slowly after I woke up this morning, and sort out what happened up there. If you listen from beginning to end, you'll know everything."

"But I haven't even gotten up yet, and you've been listening to my dad talking all morning, but he only tells half of the story and leaves the other half unsaid. Can you blame me for not telling you?"

"I know this cannot be concealed. I'm back now. How could I deliberately hide it? I can figure it out with my ass."

"You didn't listen to me, but listened to my father's advice to keep half and half. This is the most infuriating thing..."

Ye's father was furious when he heard this. Could he blame him for saying to keep half and half?
He didn't know that the couple didn't say anything last night.

As for why he only told Ye's mother about the purchase of five boats but did not mention the loan, it was because he knew he could not afford it.

If he had talked directly to Ye's mother about the loan last night, he would not have been able to sleep the whole night.

I almost fell for Dongzi's trick last night. What was he trying to teach him... I had to ask his mother to say something nice and hand over my salary. I almost got kicked off the bed.

He was also stupid. How could he believe Dongzi's lies?

I've been with his mother for half my life, don't you know what kind of personality she has? And you still want to hear good words from her sharp mouth...

That's why he thought about not talking about the loan for the time being, and only talked about buying a boat and buying land.

When today comes, let Adong tell his mother, so that the old father won't have to bear the anger, since it's none of his business anyway.

Now, look what happened, the blame is still put on him, and he is even blamed for saying he should keep half and half, when it was none of his business in the first place.

Mother Ye said unhappily, "You two are the same. Neither of you is much better than the other."

"Right...oh no..."

Ye's mother slapped him and said, "You're right."

"Okay, I'll give it to you when we get back."

Mother Ye glanced at him and was satisfied.

After listening to Ye Yaodong's sophistry, Lin Xiuqing actually felt that it made sense, and it seemed that she really didn't blame him for not saying it?

I got home after 12 o'clock and was very tired. I simply gave her the important things and went to sleep. I didn't have time to say anything...

After thinking about it, she understood it, but she was still a little angry and worried.

"Is your bank loan of 20 really okay? Will someone come to your house and arrest you? Say you owe the bank money?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen. You need evidence to arrest someone. I still have the loan contract. I'll show it to you later. It has the date and time on it. Just pay it back within the deadline. Don't you know my ability to make money?"

"Earn more and spend more, earn less and spend less. This is absolutely true. Two years ago, I would never have believed that you could take out 20 yuan from the bank and spend it all."

"Two years ago, you wouldn't have believed that I could have saved so much and own more than twenty boats."

The old lady smiled and said, "This shows that when you move, it makes sense to sweep the door of the bank with a broom. You really sweep all the money in the bank home."

Lin Xiuqing didn't bother to care about the old lady's partiality. It wasn't the first day anyway, so she simply ignored it and just looked at Ye Yaodong.

"Otherwise, why don't you return the money you brought back yesterday to the bank?"

She was a little worried. How could the government's money be so easy to get? How could it be given for free? She was worried that something bad might happen, so she would rather not take advantage of it.

"Are you stupid? You don't want money that's offered to you? If I put this 20 yuan in the bank and earn interest, I can get several hundred yuan a year. Even if I do nothing and just deposit it in the bank, I can get several thousand yuan in three years. Why not take this money that's given to me for free?"

"I feel a little uneasy. After all, it's not my money and I have to pay it back anyway. Why not pay it back sooner rather than later? We can pay it back when we have the money, right?"

"If I pay it back, can it be called making money out of nothing? Isn't that the same as spending my own money? Then do I need to take out a loan?"

"Didn't you say that you also wanted to buy land, and then spread the word that the land was mortgaged to the bank, so that no one would occupy it when you were away?"

"That's just what I can use. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it. If I really have to pay it back, can't we just pay it back from our family? It's not like we can't pay it back. There's no need to pay it back in advance."

"We have never owed anyone money in our lives, but now we owe the country money..."

"This is not a debt, this is assistance. The state provides funding to support my personal development, buys me a big ship, develops the economy, and prospers the port. I then use the money I earn to return to the state. We each get what we need, and no one loses."

Seeing that Lin Xiuqing had stopped talking, Ye's mother acquiesced and said with a smile, "Okay, it's fine now that you've made it clear. Next time, don't listen to your father. If there's anything unclear, wait for Dongzi to speak."

"Dongzi has made so much money this year. He will definitely make more next year when he has more boats. 20 is 20. He will definitely make it back next year."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, "Mom, you sound a little too relaxed. It's not that easy to make money."

Ye's mother smiled and said, "It's hard for others to make money, so how can it be hard for him to make money?"

"You don't know. When I first came here, many people on the street envied me, saying that I was so good at giving birth and had three good sons. They all made a lot of money and came back with tens of thousands of yuan. Hahaha... Especially Dongzi..."

She feels happy when she talks about this.

Ye Yaodong listened to his mother's chatter and went to wash up and eat.

Anyway, everything has been made clear, the crisis has been resolved, and he has nothing to do with it anymore. He can do whatever he needs to do.

"...Now everyone in the village has to give a thumbs up when talking about Dongzi. They all say that Dongzi has brought wealth to the whole village, and he has ventured into many places and worked hard everywhere. Hahaha..."

"They all said that the young people were taken out by Dongzi to make a lot of money, the old people in the village also raised kelp to make money, and the women killed fish for him to make money. They all relied on him..."

"He is now the hope of the whole village, the hope to lead the whole village to prosperity. Oh my god, smoke is really coming out of this ancestral tomb."

"When I get back, I'll check the almanac and pick a day to worship. I'll have your father go up the mountain to worship. You can't just worship the gods, you have to worship your ancestors as well. It's all for the ancestors' blessings."

Father Ye was a little depressed at first, but after hearing this, a smile appeared on his face again, and he looked proud.

"I am the one helping him. Otherwise, would he be able to handle the work?"

"Then shouldn't you help him? If you don't help your own son, who else do you want?"

"Only the eldest and second oldest are honest and don't mind. Otherwise, other families with more brothers would have complaints."

The old lady said, "Didn't Dongzi pay you for your work? He didn't let you work for free. You got more than anyone else. He even bought you gold. He didn't have any himself, and he couldn't bear to buy it himself, but he bought it for all of you. Who can be more filial than him?"

Father Ye was surprised for a moment, and hope ignited in his heart, but then it died down again. He frowned and said, "It's filial piety."

I bought it for my mother, but not for him.

He couldn't say the words and remained silent.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Yes, Adong also bought some gold for you. I'll bring it back to you later. I'll go get it."

you!

Father Ye suddenly felt a little excited, because Ah Qing was talking about "you guys".

Ye's mother was also looking forward to it. She heard last night that Dongzi bought her some gold jewelry, and she was still complaining that the old man didn't give it back to her directly.

I woke up early this morning and wanted to come here after cleaning my house, but I was stopped by some enthusiastic villagers who wanted to talk to me on the way.

If she hadn't been thinking about the gold, she would probably still be talking to the women in the village.

She was also the first one to come to Dongzi's place. The eldest and second sons hadn't gone yet. You can't blame her for being partial. It was because the third son was so nice to the old couple and even bought them gold jewelry! !

Oh my god, I didn’t expect that I could still wear gold and silver when I get old?

She woke up laughing in her dream last night.

Seeing Ye Yaodong brush his teeth, wash his face and sit down, Ye's mother smiled and showed concern, "You must have worked hard outside. You have become much darker and thinner. Come back and take good care of yourself. I will ask your father to kill a chicken for you later."

Father Ye said depressedly: "I have worked hard too."

"I know, I know. You've all worked hard. Then you can pick a bigger one to kill later. Dongzi doesn't like to eat ducks, and ducks are bigger. So you can kill a chicken and pick a bigger one."

Mother Ye is in a particularly good mood now.

Just now was just now, now is now.

Father Ye was full of anticipation at the moment and didn't care what Mother Ye said.

Ye Yaodong was laughing the whole time. No matter whether his father was in his hometown or here with him; no matter whether he was in the mouth of the old lady or his mother, he was always the youngest brother in the family.

Lin Xiuqing went into the house and took out the gold that had been locked up last night. It was still in the same cloth bag, but it was lighter.

Now there are only two sets of gold in it, belonging to Ye's father and mother.

Father Ye rubbed his hands back and forth and asked Ye Yaodong with a smile, "Dongzi, did you buy it for me?"

Ye Yaodong said jokingly: "I can forget anyone but you. I've worked so hard, how can I forget you alone?"

"Anyone can be without it, but how can you? You must have it! And it has to be the biggest, thickest, heaviest, and most expensive one!"

The smile on Ye's father's face deepened and he became happier.

Lin Xiuqing asked curiously, "Dad, don't you know that you have it? I was wondering why you left so quickly last night, and I thought I should have brought it back to you directly."

"It's all because of this bastard. He teased me on purpose and bought it for me without telling me. He kept it a secret from me and only said he bought it for you all. I was thinking about how heartless he was. Everyone in the family had it, except me."

"How could that be? You've been helping him a lot. If he doesn't buy it for you, I won't agree."

Ye's father was so delighted by Lin Xiuqing's coaxing that he was delighted. Seeing her pouring out the gold from the bag, he became even happier and couldn't stop smiling.

Ye's mother was the same, her eyes were shining and she was very happy.

Ye Yaodong said, "See? The thickest gold necklace can be used as three or four necklaces for my mother. Am I good to you?"

"Okay, okay, this is too thick. It must be very expensive. What a waste. Why didn't you wait for me to go with you and buy such a thick one..."

"It's only this thick that makes me look respectable! If it's not thicker, how can I show my filial piety to you? However, you can only wear it in the village at most, don't wear it outside..."

"I know that if I wear it outside, I will either be robbed or mugged, which is very dangerous. I don't wear it when walking around the village. I just show it to the neighbors and let them take a look. Then I put it away."

Father Ye couldn't let go of the gold necklace. Now his plan was complete and he no longer felt bad about handing over the gold ring.

This was bought by Dongzi for him, his mother can’t take it away!
In one hand, Ye's mother held a thin gold necklace with a flower pendant on it, and with the other hand she reached for a bracelet. She couldn't wait to pick up a ring and put it on. The ring was also in the shape of a flower.

"Are all these mine? There are too many, too beautiful... Oh... Why did you buy so many... This bracelet feels so heavy..."

"Ah Qing, are these all for me? Do you have any? I don't need so much, I'll give you some, it will look better on you young women..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and pushed it away, "No need, mother, this is what Adong bought for you as a gift. I have one too, but I put my share away last night. This is yours, you can keep it, you don't have to give it to me."

"Have you put yours away? Do you have all of these?"

"I have them all. Grandma has them too. The three of us have the same necklace, bracelet, two rings, and a pair of earrings."

The old lady smiled with wrinkles on her face, "Yes, I have one too. I am old and you still want to buy me one. What a waste of money. Dongzi is such a filial child. Whenever he goes out, he thinks about buying things for his family."

"I'm already this old, what else do I need? I don't have to worry about food and drink, but he only wants to buy things for us. He doesn't have anything himself, which makes me feel bad. This child is too naive."

"You only think about your family and never think about yourself. Once you make money, you want to buy everything for us. You have suffered a lot outside, but you haven't bought anything for yourself..."

"Yes, yes, I bought it for myself..." Ye Yaodong spoke quickly.

He himself couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. Is he really so selfless?
"I've bought myself a lot of things, and they're the most expensive ones. Didn't you see I bought a boat worth hundreds of thousands? I also took out 20 from the bank and spent it all. I spent so much, what didn't I buy? All the money I earned was spent on myself."

Lin Xiuqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "You also know that all the money you earn is spent by yourself? You won't know until you tell me. Once you tell me, I'll be shocked."

"When you said that earlier, I hadn't even realized it yet. Now that you've calculated, you've spent over three hundred thousand!?"

"Oh my God……"

Thinking of this, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Oh my god, more than three hundred thousand!
I didn't come to my senses at first and was fooled by him with all sorts of words, and then he even mentioned buying land.

My mind was distracted by him and I didn't have time to think too much.

Now that I have calculated it, isn't it more than 300,000 yuan that I have spent? I didn't even realize it just now.

Cunning enough?

When Ye's mother heard the number, she was also dumbfounded. "Three...three hundred thousand? Dongzi, Dongzi spent three hundred thousand?"

Ye Yaodong also felt that he had said the wrong thing, as they had already overlooked it.

"Don't get excited. Didn't we just talk about this? Why are you bringing this up again? This isn't my own money. This is the investment cost. The government paid for it. Don't think too much about it. Let's talk about something happy."

He quickly put the bracelet on his mother, "Wow, this is so beautiful, isn't it so luxurious? When you put it on, you will definitely be a rich lady, a landlady of a landlord's family!"

"Ahahaha, how come she's a landlord's wife? Does it look pretty? Oh, it really looks pretty. This ring is pretty too..."

Mother Ye happily turned her attention back to her big gold bracelet and ring.

"Ah Qing, put the necklace on my mother. I'll get her a mirror."

"You just know how to change the subject!"

"No, forget what I just said. Now I have to say I'm happy. You didn't wear it last night, and you didn't look in the mirror. I'll put it on for you later."

Father Ye kept playing with the gold ring on his middle finger and his mouth never closed. He also held up his gold necklace and said to Ye Yaodong.

"Put it on for me to see. How much did you spend on such a thick necklace?"

"I forgot. I bought too much. Anyway, yours is the most expensive."

Father Ye was very satisfied when he heard this.

Mother Ye looked at herself in the mirror and was very happy. "Does it look good?"

The whole family said in unison: "It looks good."

"Haha, it's so beautiful. If I wear it outside, all the women in the village will be so jealous. Should I wear it?"

Ye's father objected, "Why wear it? If someone snatches it away, you won't even have a place to cry. Your necklace is so thin, it will break if it is pulled."

"Ah, that's true. But this big gold bracelet is too big, and I'm even more worried. And this gold ring...it's not easy for me to work with it on..."

In order not to make others envious, her happiness could only be rated 88 points.

The envy of others is a bonus.

"Wear it. I bought it for you. If you think the bracelet is too big and the ring is inconvenient to wear while working, you can wear a necklace. It's winter and the clothes are gray and plain. How nice it would be to wear a gold necklace? Wear earrings too. They will be conspicuous. When you go out for a walk later, I guarantee that all the women in the village will envy you for giving birth to a good son."

"If this gets robbed..."

"You didn't go anywhere. You were just moving around in the village. You can walk around freely in this village. Who would dare to rob you? Who is so blind as to seek death?"

Mother Ye thought about it and agreed. In this village, who would dare to touch her?
Whoever sees her should say hello?

She was happy again.

"If you go out, hide the necklace inside your clothes so no one can see it."

"Yes, yes, you are right. I will wear it and not take it off."

Ye's mother took a mirror and looked left and right. She couldn't see enough and was very happy.

"Look at it for me too. Don't just look at yourself. Look at it for me. Look at it in the mirror..."

"Here... let me show you. This one is too thick. You can't wear it. If it's gone, you won't even have a place to cry. Wear it for now to satisfy your craving, and then take it off and I'll put it away for you."

"What? It's not enough to give you the ring I found. This is what Dongzi bought for me. I want to keep it for myself."

"Where can you take it? Aren't all the things in the house under my control? You can't even find a sock, how can you take care of the gold?"

"You take yours, and I take mine. Dongzi gave me this out of filial piety, so I want to keep it for myself."

Ye's mother scolded him twice, snatched the mirror from his hand, stopped him from looking in the mirror, and said.

"If you lose it, you have to work like a slave and buy me another one as compensation. This was bought by Dongzi, and we have to give it to him when we are old and before we die."

"We'll give it to whoever bought it when we die. We'll just wear it now."

Father Ye touched his neck and looked at the ring on his hand. He felt that the new one was still better looking and much better than the one he picked up.

"You're still thinking so far ahead. There are still many decades to go..."

The old lady agreed and said, "Yes, this was bought by Dongzi. When you are old, you should leave it to him before you die. You should leave it to whoever bought it for you. This is fair."

"That's a bit far and a bit difficult to wait." Ye Yaodong joked with a smile.

"I will give you my things when the time comes. They were originally given by you. I won't give them to anyone else, and no one should want them."

"It's a bit early for you to talk about this. Let's talk about it later."

Ye Yaodong looked at a few dogs that had run in at some point and were crawling around under the table at his feet. He also picked one out at random.

"Now that you know about the gift distribution, you guys are coming over too? Wait."

He patted the dog's head and asked Lin Xiuqing, "Have you seen the bunch of bells I bought?"

"Yes, I was sorting out the luggage this morning and saw a lot of bells in the basket. Why did you take those bells? Why did you buy so many?"

"It's for the dogs at home. There's no reason for everyone in the family to have either gold or silver necklaces. Our dogs should have one too. It would be nice to give them a copper one."

Lin Xiuqing was speechless, "You even remembered to bring gifts for the dogs."

"Yes, they are good at guarding the house. I can't rely on them to help me guard the house when I'm not at home."

Ye Yaodong touched the dog's chin as he spoke, and the dog licked his hand back with its tongue.

"I don't know why you brought it here. I thought it was for children to play with. Your daughter saw it early in the morning and liked the jingling sound. She strung it together with a rope and asked me to help her put it on her neck."

"Oh shit, I brought it to the dog."

"She ran out to find the kids around to give her treasures. When she comes back, I don't know if she's willing to take it down."

"Then leave one for her? The same style as the dogs?"

Lin Xiuqing patted him and said, "That's outrageous."
