Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1310: Enjoyable Days

When Ye Yaodong arrived at Xiaoxiao's house, two tables had already been set with food and most people had arrived, except for a few empty seats.

It was just a common meal anyway, so there was no need to be so particular and wait for everyone to gather. He sat with a few friends and ate while chatting.

There were too many people at the time, so it was not appropriate to talk about sensitive topics, so everyone just joked and made fun of it.

The fat guy was not here yesterday because he had to have a sudden meal, but he came today on purpose. During the conversation, he mentioned that he made a lot of money this year. He had lost weight, but his belly has returned, and his shoulders and belly are even bigger. It is obvious that he has made a lot of money this year.

Ye Yaodong happened to be sitting next to him, and patted his belly like a good brother, "Look at how rich you are, you should thank me."

"Yes, thank you for your eight generations of ancestors, I was able to make money."

"Be sincere."

Ye Yaodong held a cigarette between his fingers and gestured to him.

"no problem!"

The fat man happily took out a lighter and lit his cigarette for him, "I can light cigarettes for our Dong brother for the rest of his life."

"Oh, that's embarrassing. Next year I'll be the one lighting cigarettes for the fat boss."

"Then where can we get Brother Dong to light a cigarette?"

"Stop blowing, it's my turn to light your cigarettes."

The fat man laughed, "Don't give me that. You all have big ships. You will make more money next year. By then, don't even think about lighting cigarettes. I will have to carry your bags."

"You are talking about Dongzi! We are only qualified to carry Dongzi's bag now."

"Stop bragging. Wait until I earn back the 20 yuan loan from the bank first."

"Isn't this a matter of minutes for you?"

The fat man said, "Dongzi, I really admire you more and more. You are really brave. I don't even make 20 yuan a year, but you dare to borrow 20 yuan."

"Look, he's exposed! He just said he didn't make 20 yuan, not 2 yuan. It seems that he must be a household with at least tens of thousands of yuan or even hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"No, no, no...Haha, I have three brothers, so we can share it among ourselves."

"Oh, it seems that what I said was right. If it's divided among three brothers, then you will get the biggest share. You are really fat now. You chased me at that time and blamed me for making you thin. Now you are eating the big meat."

"Ah, drink, drink..."

The fat man smiled and tried to cover up the truth, then quickly poured him some wine and shut Ye Yaodong's mouth.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was heated.

Everyone has made money this year, and the spirits are high. Everyone is carrying the sedan chair and everyone is happy.

The meal started at dusk and lasted until late at night, but their house was the only one that was still bustling with activity.

However, most people left after they had finished their meal and drank some wine, and only a few of them stayed until the end.

Ye Yaodong restrained himself today. He drank too much yesterday and felt terribly uncomfortable when he woke up the next day. It took him a long time to recover.

The alcohol content of the rice wine they brewed themselves was already high. Yesterday, everyone drank it as if they were risking their lives, and did not return until they were drunk.

Everyone was taking it easy today, mostly chatting, and mostly talking about Fatty. After all, they had already talked about Fatty yesterday, and Fatty wasn't there yesterday, so most of the topic for the evening was about Fatty.

After he had finished talking, he told them about Hong Wenle's loan.

As for whether they have the ability to borrow and how much they can borrow, he doesn't know, so he has to let them ask themselves.

"Only 10,000 or 20,000?"

"Ten or twenty thousand is fine. It's enough to buy a boat."

"Yes, at least I can get a loan of 10,000 yuan, which is not bad, it's better than nothing."

"Ten or twenty thousand is a lot. Do you think everyone is a rich man? They are so calm when they borrow 20 yuan. I am the one who is panicking."

"That's right. Ten or twenty thousand is good. I don't have to pay for it myself. I can earn it back in less than a year by going to Zhou City. It's worth it."

Seeing how optimistic their discussion was, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on them.

"Don't think too highly of yourself. Going out to sea is risky, as you all know. Just look at what happened when we were in Vancouver this year. Take it easy, think twice before making a decision, and money isn't easy to make."

Ah Guang said, "There are risks, we know that, but why don't we book a big ship so that several ships can go in and out together? At least there will be some support, which is safer than before, right?"

Ah Zheng also smiled and said, "We are not worried about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

Xiao Xiao said: "The main thing is whether you can afford it. If you can't afford it, then you will panic and dare not do it."

"Then just think it over and ask it yourself when the time comes. I won't say much."

Make your own decisions about your own affairs.

"If we had known it a day earlier, we might have gone to the city earlier to ask yesterday. Now we have to make another trip."

"It may not be just a one-time trip, but many trips. Fortunately, I am free now, and there is still more than half a month before the New Year."

Ye Yaodong said: "Then you guys just do it slowly."

"Let's discuss it tomorrow and see when to make a trip. It just so happens that the new ship is back and we're itching to get started. It's painful to just look at it, so we can just sail to the city."

"If you drink too much tonight, you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow. You can discuss it tomorrow."

"Come... drink... pray for us to make a fortune in the coming year."

"Be prosperous and safe..."

We agreed to take it easy at night, but once we started drinking, it was no longer possible.

Ye Yaodong came home drunk and was scolded again.

He smiled and shamelessly hugged Lin Xiuqing and kissed her wildly, making it impossible for her to argue with the drunkard.

You should still take good care of him, help him wash, put him to bed, and let him sleep peacefully.

When I woke up the next day, I started muttering to myself again.

Ye Yaodong ignored it.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to hearing people nagging him, including an old lady and his mother.

Now there's just one more person nagging him. His mother doesn't live with him anymore, so she nags less. It doesn't matter if his wife nags him instead.

"Ah Hai came to look for you at dawn and squatted at the door until he went to work just now. Now it's Ah Jiang's turn to squat at the door."

"These two brats are so active."

"You promised to teach them how to ride a motorcycle, but they are not enthusiastic about it? If they were this interested in studying, how could they not be admitted to university?"

"Forget it, get up, get up, don't lie down anymore."

"You are just too idle to find anything to do, and you even teach them how to drive a motorcycle."

"I have nothing to do anyway, so it's no big deal to teach them. What teenager wouldn't be interested in motorcycles? Once they learn how to ride, they will be the coolest guys in the village!"

He is also an experienced person. What man doesn't like motorcycles, especially a teenager at this age who loves to show off.

If he was sixteen or seventeen years old and someone took him out to play like this, he would be so happy that his unruly youth would be complete and it would be the best memory of his life.

"They don't need to learn. They are already the most famous children in the village. In the past two years, they have all kinds of new toys and balls. All the children in the village run around them. What they say is more effective than what the parents of those children say."

"Of course. When I was a kid, if I had a football, all the kids from the nearby villages would obey my orders."

"If you had a football when you were a kid, all the girls from the nearby villages would flock to you, not to mention learning how to ride a motorcycle. You could have married 10 wives, so I wouldn't have had a chance."

"Aha!"

Let’s wait and see how he’s going to deal with that bastard Ye Chenghe.

"What a joke! I have very high standards. Can anyone be my wife? I am so handsome, I must choose the best one. Of course I have to be very selective in choosing a wife. How can I just settle for someone casually?"

"Hmph..." Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him and walked out.

Ye Yaodong and others put on their clothes and walked out humming a song.

Ye Chengjiang was sitting on the doorstep of his house. As soon as he got up, he began to serve him actively, squeezing toothpaste for him, bringing him hot water, and wringing out the towel.

"Uncle San, do you want me to spray some mousse on you and do your hair?"

Ye Yaodong looked down at his slicked-back hair, silent.

When I saw him for the first time, I wanted to say, who cares about him being such a lackey.

"You're already so showy even though you haven't learned how to ride a motorcycle yet? What will happen once you learn it? Won't all the girls in the surrounding area be picked up by you?"

"No, leave at least a few for my brothers at home!"

"Damn! How come I didn't realize you were that kind of person? Even Ah Hai knows how to blush, how come you are so shameless?"

"Hey, I'm going to learn how to ride a motorcycle, so I must dress up nicely. There will definitely be a lot of people watching me later."

Ye Yaodong was happy, "Of course you can. You have already released the news in advance, waiting for the whole village to watch, right?"

"It was Chenghe who said that, not me. He has spread the word throughout the village and the neighboring villages, saying that you need to teach him how to ride a motorcycle."

"Let him wait for me!"

"Hey, Uncle San, let's eat..."

Ye Chengjiang served him some porridge and placed it in front of him. He also pulled out a pair of chopsticks for him and handed them to him. He served him very attentively and almost fed him the rice.

"Go and clean my motorcycle for me."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me. He and Ah Hai came over at dawn and cleaned the motorcycle inside and out. It was still covered in dust when we rode it back from town yesterday, but today it looks like new."

"Not bad! You have good taste!"

"They even watered the vegetables at the front and back doors, and fed the chickens and ducks. The old lady was so surprised that she kept asking them why they were so diligent this morning. They didn't even bother to help with their own broom when it fell over, so why did they come to work for us?"

"Keep it up."

"Understood, Uncle San, from now on these tasks will be handed over to me and Ah Hai."

"Very good, go out and wait."

Ye Chengjiang ran out obediently, jumping and punching. You could tell from his back that he was very excited.

The old lady said, "It's good to have something to do. This way, I don't have to run out all day and be nowhere to be seen."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "Are you talking about me or him?"

"I'm talking to you! Why is A Jiang, a kid, staying at home instead of running outside?"

"I'm busy with work, and I just have some free time today. They want to learn how to ride a motorcycle, so I'll teach them."

They had just finished eating, so he stood up, washed the dishes for Lin Xiu, and walked out.

My goodness! As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw a group of children at the door, at least thirty or forty of them!

Ye Yaodong looked speechlessly at the complacent Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe.

Ye Chenghe came up to him without any tact and asked in a flattering manner: "Uncle San, are you going to push the motorcycle now? I'll help you."

"Go away, I didn't say I was going to teach you."

His eyes widened, "What! Huh?"

Ye Chengjiang pushed him aside and said, "Uncle San, I'll help you push the motorcycle out."

"No, I won't teach you today. Just play by yourselves."

"Huh? Why?"

Ye Chengjiang looked stunned.

Ye Chenghe, who was originally depressed, became gloating.

"What are you doing with all these kids? Are you looking for monkeys? Cars don't have eyes, what if they hit you later? Go play by yourselves, there aren't many people around, I'll teach you."

Ye Chengjiang glared at Ye Chenghe angrily, "It's all your fault! You loudmouth!"

He hooked one hand around Ye Chenghe's neck and dragged him to the side.

"What are you doing? What? You dare to hit me? Tell my brother..."

"Tell your brother that he will join me in beating you up."

"Uncle San, Uncle San...save me, Jiang is going to hit me..."

Ye Yaodong put his hands in his pockets and walked away, planning to take a walk around the workshop first. What did it look like to have such a large group of children gathered here?
Ye's father was originally watching people playing cards, and asked him curiously, "What's this for? Did you cause them to fight again?"

"No, don't worry about them. Did your workers cheer yesterday?"

"We've already agreed to go back to work after the New Year when you notify us. I also went to your uncle's office and asked about his friend who changed boats a few years ago. I asked him to let me know if his friend comes back in a few days and take us to his home for a visit."

"Okay, I'll definitely be back before the New Year."

Just tell us about this. We are all acquaintances, so they will definitely be willing to go out to sea with you as a companion.

"Third Brother!"

Ye Yaodong turned around and saw Ye Huimei and A Guang bringing their three children over.

"Hey, the twins are here? Why do they look different?"

Ye Huimei smiled and said, "I haven't seen him for more than half a year, so he must be different. A child this young must have changed a lot if I haven't seen him for a few months. How can you be his uncle?"

A few days ago, he invited people to dinner, but Ye Huimei did not bring the twins. They were too small, could not eat much, and were annoying. She could not take care of them all, and several adults were needed to look after them, so she only brought Pei Yu.

So Ye Yaodong has been back for so many days, but he has not seen the twins yet.

The main reason is that he doesn't have time to visit A ​​Guang's house. Even though the family hasn't split up, he doesn't really want to go. The family over there is no longer as pure as before.

"Oh, it's my fault. I'm too busy. I'm running around all day long. I'm just a little free today, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me."

He opened his arms to hug her, but she didn't know which was the left or the right, so she turned her head away and ignored him.

"You're so disrespectful? Forget it, I'll hug my sister."

Pei Yu held Ye Huimei's clothes with one hand, ignored him, and hid behind him.

"Oh shit, you guys are so disrespectful. Come here, I'm your uncle. You've been living in my house for half a year, and you're still hiding from me?"

Pei Yu just ran to the side without paying any attention to him.

"Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu..."

When Ye Xiaoxi heard someone calling her, she ran out from the group of children and ran towards her.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu..."

Ye Yaodong watched the two little brats running towards each other. For some reason, a scene suddenly popped up in his mind of the White Snake and Xu Xian running against each other on the Broken Bridge...

He felt a chill.

Ye Huimei continued to explain, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. You must have forgotten about me a little, right? It will be fine after we get to know each other better in a few days."

"Will the two little ones leave?"

"Yes, I've been able to walk for a week and a half. It's just that the gravel road outside is not very stable and I keep falling."

The couple had already put their two children on the ground and let them play by themselves.

Ye Yaodong looked at the little twins, who were dressed exactly the same and walked unsteadily, and felt a little surprised.

If Lin Xiuqing hadn't been sterilized, he would have wanted to have another child.

The children at home are no longer cute when they grow up, but they still look cute when they are this small. Their two small teeth are exposed as soon as they open their mouths, and their speech is unclear. They are adorable no matter how you look at them.

When he couldn't help but hug her, she started crying again.

This made Ye's father very distressed, "Don't scare him, he is not familiar with you."

"Okay, okay, I won't touch them."

Ah Guang smiled and said, "Leave them here to play. I'll go find Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao and the others."

"Talking about a loan?"

"Yes, do you want to come with us?"

"I won't go. I've been running around all the time. Today is a rare day for me to be free, so I'll just stay at home and bask in the sun. Anyway, I don't plan to take out another loan, so I won't get involved."

"Okay, you don't even care about that little money."

"What a lie. I've already borrowed the money, so I won't borrow it again."

"Ah."

A Guang then told Ye Huimei to take good care of the child before leaving.

As soon as he left, Ye's father pulled Ye Yaodong aside and asked him what the loan was about.

Ye Yaodong explained it to his father.

Ye Huimei also whispered: "We want to split up, we can borrow some money to prepare, or book a boat in advance. We don't know when to split up, how much we can get, or whether there will be a boat, so we don't worry about it, we will make plans in advance."

"Have you been given any money this year?" Ye Yaodong asked curiously.

"We divided it up. The next day when we got home, we settled this year's bills and gave us half of it. We kept the money that Guang earned on his own and didn't need to settle the bill."

"That's good."

"It's good. Anyway, since we got married, we have settled the bill at the end of every year and divided it in half between us."

Ye Yaodong didn't tell her that he wanted to give her 30% of the shares of Fengshou. Anyway, he would talk about it after the family business was divided. It was too early to talk about it now.

He looked at the twins who were staggering on the ground and looking around, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Children are still cute, fair and tender, and their little cotton-padded jacket makes them look like a chubby kid.

The adults around were also looking at the twins in surprise. They were as white as coal balls when they were born, but suddenly they turned white.

Some even squatted down to tease them, but the twins didn't give them any face and waved their little hands indifferently, as if they were chasing away flies.

"Uncle San...Uncle San, I drove them all away."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Chengjiang who was running towards him, then looked around and saw that there were indeed fewer children, at least half of them.

"Let Ye Chenghe take those people away?"

"Yes, or I'll beat him up."

"Go push the motorcycle."

"okay!"

He rushed towards the gate of the courtyard excitedly, and Ye Yaodong followed behind him.

Father Ye knew that he was going to teach Ye Chengjiang how to drive a motorcycle, so he whispered, "You're too full!"

"Dad, you teach him. You know how to do it anyway."

Father Ye immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll teach you. I'm free anyway."

Ye Yaodong picked up Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu, who came over curiously, and carried them to the side.

"Just watch and don't get close. I'll teach you when you grow up."

"Okay, I want to drive too! Xiaoyu wants to drive too!"

Ye Xiaoxi happily hugged his thighs and said, "Dad, buy me a car."

Pei Yu looked at her hugging her thigh, hesitated for a moment, and then imitated her movements and hugged Ye Yaodong's other thigh.

"Buy a car!"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

It’s a bit early to hug your thighs now.

"How can I walk like this?"

"That's it, I have to cling to your thighs!"

"Who taught you that? I was wondering why you like hugging my thighs so much."

"My brother said it."

"Which brother?"

Ye Xiaoxi pointed out the doors of the three brothers' houses one by one, "This brother, that brother, and the brother at home."

"These guys are really good at talking."

The children held his legs on each side, and he could not move, so he had to stand there and watch Ye's father teach Ye Chengjiang how to ride a motorcycle.

There is no bend, so it’s more than enough for his father to go.

The children around were soon attracted and felt extremely envious, but they did not dare to get close and could only stand there and marvel.

"Ajiang, that's so cool!"

"Your brother is so handsome..."

"That's awesome! It's awesome that your family has a motorcycle. I want to learn how to do that, too..."

"No, that's wishful thinking!"

"What's so great about it? I'll ask Dad to buy it."

"Go ahead, go ahead, brag..."

"I want to ask my dad to buy something too. If I ask him to buy a TV, he will buy a TV. If I ask him to buy a motorcycle, he will definitely buy a motorcycle..."

"Beat your butt until it blooms!"

Ye Yaodong listened to the children around him talking with a smile. It was true that children were the purest. Home was still the most comfortable, lively and full of people.

Only then will life become more enjoyable.

Every day I move a stool and sit at the door of my house, and I feel relaxed.

Working at sea all day long, I only think about making money. Although I feel happy when I see the harvest, it is not as comfortable and hopeful as life at home.

"Uncle."

Ye Yaodong looked down and saw Pei Yu stretched out his hand, holding a peeled White Rabbit candy.

"For me?"

She nodded.

Ye Yaodong bent down and took it in his mouth, then patted her head and said, "Good girl."

He felt in his pocket again and gave each of the two children five cents. "Buy candy later."

"Buy firecrackers!" Ye Xiaoxi happily put the money in his pocket.

"You can't buy firecrackers, you have to buy candy."

“Buy firecrackers!”

"Not good anymore, look how good Xiaoyu is."

Pei Yu said in a baby voice: "Fried cow dung!"

"go!"

Ye Xiaoxi pulled Pei Yu, and the two little girls ran towards the village.

"Hey hey..."

Ye Yaodong looked at their backs, sighed, and took back what he had just said.

None of them are obedient.

Lin Xiuqing saw the two running away and asked, "Where are they going?"

"He bought some firecrackers and said he wanted to blow up some cow dung."

"Ah? Why don't you stop me?"

"I can stop him for a while, but can I keep following him around and stopping him?"

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, chased the two children, brought them back, emptied her pockets first, and gave the money in Pei Yu's pocket to Ye Huimei.

But it’s of no use, Ye Xiaoxi has a piggy bank and is still rich.

Both of them stood there obediently and let Lin Xiuqing scold them. After he was done, they secretly slipped back home to get the money.

Then, while the adults weren't paying attention, they happily went to buy firecrackers together.

When it was almost time for dinner, they came back covered in cow dung and were dragged home and beaten severely.

Ye Xiaoxi, covered in cow dung, stood in the yard, crying and getting beaten.

Lin Xiuqing told her not to move or hide, so she just stood there quietly, crying and wailing, her eyes darting around, trying to find a savior.

Ye Yaodong was still making sarcastic remarks, "I'll tell you what I am saying, you can't stop me."

"You also said, if you don't give them money, will they think of buying firecrackers to blow up cow dung?"

“Isn’t this a tradition?”

Ye Xiaoxi agreed with a crying voice, her lips still pouting, "Tradition!"

"Hand out."

She stretched out her hand hesitantly, raised it up, then retracted it, and did this several times before she opened her palm.

But her constant blinking eyes betrayed how scared she was.

Lin Xiuqing was hit on the palm of her hand while eating stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots. She cried even louder.

Ye Chenghu looked at him with his cheeks drooping. "Stupid, you don't know how to run. I told you to stand still, so you stood still!"

She suddenly had an idea and ran towards him aggrievedly, "Brother..."

"Ah, don't come over here... don't come over here..."

Ye Chenghu panicked and quickly stood up and ran to avoid the cow dung all over her body.

But he could avoid Ye Xiaoxi but not Lin Xiuqing, and was hit several times for no reason.

"Ah, why are you hitting me..."

"If you don't teach good things, you will teach bad things. You started a bad example. If I don't punish you, who else should I punish?"

Ye Chenghu ran around the yard, not daring to stop. One was his sister, the other was his mother, one was covered in cow dung, and the other was holding a whip.

He couldn't help but slap himself on the mouth to let him talk too much. Wouldn't it be better for him to just squat there and watch the fun?

The old lady said, "Okay, okay, stop beating her. Hurry up and wash the child. While the sun is strong at noon, give her a bath. It's time to eat. Don't let her get hungry."

"I'm full of cow dung, why are you hungry?" Ye Cheng ran out to the lake and shouted.

"Then go eat cow dung at noon, don't eat, and don't come back."

"I'm going to eat at my uncle's house."

"I was born to piss me off..."

Ye Chengyang shouted flatteringly: "Mom, I'll get you some hot water."

"It's rare to give birth to a decent child." Ye Yaodong sighed.

Lin Xiuqing glared at him.

"Why are you glaring at me? You gave birth to me, and you raised me."

"It's like it has nothing to do with you."

The old lady said: "Give birth to a few more, there will always be a decent one."

“No wonder the poorer they are, the more they have children, and the more they have children, the poorer they become.”

The old lady hit him and said, "Nonsense, that means a prosperous family."

"Tell me, when you get old, is it better to have money or good people?"

"Of course it takes people. A large population is a blessing. Why do you need so much money? Just grow some crops and you won't have to worry about food and drink."

"Then I want both."

The old lady laughed and said, "Yes, I want both."

The evening update will be around 2:, don't wait
