Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1362: Cutting the Ribbon and Starting Construction

Ye Xiaoxi originally put her hands on her face and started to pose, but she instantly regretted that she shouldn't have helped her father hold the camera.

She stamped her feet heavily, angrily.

Ye Yaodong saw her angry face, which looked like a puffer fish, and pinched her with a smile. Seeing that she was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, he quickly tried to coax her.

"Okay, since you're so diligent, I'll take a picture of you reluctantly."

She immediately smiled again.

Children are so naive and easy to coax and deceive, and the expressions on their faces change from rainy to sunny.

"Be nicer!"

"Okay, you are the most beautiful little girl in the village."

"Yes, I am the most beautiful little village girl."

"Open your mouth. Come on, smile, eggplant."

"No, don't open your mouth."

"If you don't open your mouth, you're not beautiful. You're not the most beautiful little country girl."

Ye Xiaoxi pursed her lips tightly and smiled, but did not open her mouth.

Her father always talks about her gapping teeth, but she doesn't want to open her mouth.

Seeing that she was uncooperative for a long time, Ye Yaodong carried her onto the motorcycle.

Lin Xiuqing was dressed neatly, wearing the little skirt that Ye Yaodong bought for her two years ago. She also tied her long hair into a long braid, looking particularly fresh and clean.

When he came out and saw that the father and daughter were still dawdling there, he urged them, "Why are you still playing with her? Let's go. It's such a big thing, why didn't you say you'd leave in advance? You're still playing with her here."

"Aren't you okay too? I'll wait for you by the way."

"are you done?"

"Right away. Ye Xiaojiu, look here. Is your mother beautiful?"

Ye Xiaoxi was not amused, but Lin Xiuqing laughed instead.

"what are you doing?"

"Is Ye Xiaojiu beautiful?"

Ye Xiaoxi shouted happily: "Beautiful."

"Oh, that's fine."

"Let me see, let me see..." She held on to the bike tightly, swinging her feet.

"I'll show you when I grow up."

Ye Yaodong adjusted the camera, turned it off, hung it around his neck, and then pushed the cart out.

Lin Xiuqing followed behind, and when she was about to get on the car, she hesitated, holding up her skirt, "I'd better sit in the truck bed..."

"Mom, where are you going?"

"mother……"

The brothers Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were quite sharp-eyed. Noticing that their mother was dressed a little differently today, they felt something was not right, so they immediately rushed over and each held one of her hands.

"Mom, are you going on a long journey too? Don't go!"

"Mom, you are so beautiful. Where are you going with Dad?"

"I'll be back in a while..." Lin Xiuqing was held tightly by her two sons, feeling helpless.

"Can't I let Dad go by himself?"

"Mom, why are you going out?"

"I'll be back soon and will just go to town."

"Then why are you wearing a skirt? I want to go too."

"I also need to go."

Ye Yaodong looked at his two sons who were like bodyguards, only surrounding their biological mother and ignoring their biological father. He didn't know whether to be angry or relieved.

The two of them are like followers, staring at their mother every day and guarding her like bodyguards. It makes people feel at ease watching her, and he can rest assured that his wife will not get lost when he goes out.

Lin Xiuqing patiently explained to them, but the two refused to listen and insisted on following.

"If you don't go, we won't go. If you want to go, we will go too!"

Ye Chengyang agreed, "Brother is right!"

Ye Yaodong patted the back of Ye Chenghu's head and said, "Alright, let's all go."

"Okay~"

The two brothers were happy and climbed onto the motorcycle in a hurry.

Lin Xiuqing checked their clothes. They had just been put on in the morning. There was a little dust on the knees, which she just needed to pat them off. They had not yet become dirty, and there were no patches on them, so they could be worn out.

She asked the two brothers to sit behind Ye Yaodong and hug him tightly.

Both of them were very happy, as they usually could only enjoy themselves sitting in the sidecar.

She was wearing a skirt and sitting in the sidecar with Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi hugged her arms and said, "Mom, you are so beautiful."

"Well, I won't kick you out of the car then."

She kissed Lin Xiuqing's face happily.

Ye Yaodong rode his motorcycle to the workshop to call his parents. His parents wanted to go with him, but they went on bicycles.

Not only his parents, but also his older and younger brothers, his friends, and even two village cadres. After all, he now has a very good relationship with the village committee and has donated a large amount of money, so people are waiting there.

However, they all ride bicycles.

The whole family was very happy today. It was a good day in itself, and the children cheered along the way, which made the couple feel even better.

Ye Yaodong arrived at the destination after riding for about 10 minutes, and the two boys still felt a little reluctant to leave.

"arrive?"

"We're here already, how come it's so fast?"

"Mom, what are you doing here? What is this place for?!"

"There are so many bicycles at the entrance..."

"I was going to go back after talking to you for a while. Why did you insist on following me? I came here to see your father in all his glory."

Lin Xiuqing carried them down one by one.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "This is the factory your father opened with others. Half of it belongs to us, so I'll take you to have a look."

"Wow~ Half of this is ours? Really? Dad, are you so awesome?"

"Dad, you are so awesome! Dad, are you the boss too?"

"My dad is the best!" Ye Xiaoxi also clapped his hands happily.

Ye Yaodong felt very happy when he saw the three children's sparkling eyes and the exclamations and admiration in their words.

No white belt comes out!

"Come on, I'll take you inside to see it."

"Wow, Dad, this house is so big! There are so many couplets."

Ye Chengyang added: "It's bigger than the houses in our city."

"There are many higher ones..."

"Dad, why are there red cloths hanging everywhere? Why is there a red carpet there..."

As they were talking, the three of them rushed towards the red carpet one after the other, where several children were already running and jumping on the red carpet.

Ye Yaodong ignored them and let them have fun. At this time, the factory was already crowded with people. Some were newly hired workers, and some were villagers from nearby who came to watch the fun.

The guardhouse was also filled with all kinds of fireworks and firecrackers, all of which were sent by relatives and friends over the past two days. The guard made a special note of each person's friend's name, and the notebook was full of them.

Lin Xiuqing looked around curiously. It was not her first time here, but today everything was red and looked particularly festive.

“There are quite a lot of people here, eh?”

"All the workers and people from the neighborhood came here to watch the fun. There is a workers' dormitory in the back row, and people have already moved in. They are just waiting to start work as soon as the ribbon is cut today."

"It really cost a lot of money. These factories look quite impressive. Ours can't compare."

"Of course. How can the two small workshops at home compare? Otherwise, wouldn't the money be wasted?"

"Although the city is large, it's all vacant land. Everywhere is used to pile up large water tanks. The houses are just a row of low bungalows. They look empty and are not as grand as this large two-story building."

"Well, I'll take you to Zhou City someday when I have the chance. When the two-story building there is finished, it will be the same as this one."

"Don't be so quick, let's talk about it later."

"Draw the pie first, and then talk about it after you are full."

"Why don't you go find someone to chat with? It's not time yet."

"Yes, I'll let you look after those three kids. Dad and the others should be here soon."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong started walking around with his head held high. He first went to see the couplets hanging from the second floor, which was also the place with the most people.

Although it is not as long as the couplets that are dozens of meters long in the future, it is still three or four meters long, which is worth taking a photo.

After taking the photos, he looked around and actually found the ones donated by the Baisha Village Committee, as well as a few from his friends and relatives. Most of his relatives had rented his boat and were not there because they were out at sea, but the fireworks and couplets were still delivered.

Of course, his network of connections cannot be compared with that of the second generation, as they receive more gifts from relatives and friends.

It's booming and looks very popular.

After a while, he also found Hong Wenle. The two of them got together and chatted while walking, watching the excitement and waiting for time.

The ribbon-cutting was scheduled to take place at 9 o'clock, but it is only around 8: now.

The two kept running into acquaintances, introducing themselves to each other, and stopping to say hello and chat.

The people around them were all acquaintances from the same circle, standing together and chatting, basically everything about the two of them. Wherever they went, people would come over to congratulate them.

Ye Yaodong always has a smile on his face. Apart from anything else, his face and height are particularly impressive. When people see his personal image, they have to look at him with respect and praise him.

Hong Wenle is also 1 meters tall, looks fair and gentle with glasses, but he is completely outshined.

Ye Yaodong thought it was very normal for a little girl to like him.

The two chatted with their acquaintances for a while, and then someone came to them and said that the time was almost up and asked them to get ready.

The red carpet had been cleared and all the children and adults were asked to leave.

In fact, it is just a rectangular carpet, only about a dozen square meters, laid at the entrance of the factory, but it is too rare for both adults and children.

We usually walk on bumpy dirt roads, so we never have the chance to walk on carpets. Everything on your body combined is not as valuable as that small piece of carpet.

"Wait a minute, I'll give the camera to my wife."

"Haha, I asked someone to take the photo, why did you bring your own camera?"

"Aren't you worried that it's a black and white photo?"

"Don't worry, it must be a color photo."

"Okay, then I'll give the camera to my wife for safekeeping, and you can take a picture of our family of five later."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong looked for Lin Xiuqing, who had been watching the children at the edge of the red carpet and was also standing in the front row.

He hung the camera around her neck and said, "Open your eyes and see how your man looks today."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Got it. Go ahead and I'll take some handsome photos of you later."

When Ye Yaodong heard someone next to him shouting through a loudspeaker that the time had come, he raised his eyebrows at Lin Xiuqing, smiled a little proudly, then turned around and waved to his father, then walked onto the red carpet and shook hands with the people around him.

Father Ye straightened his back, followed him with a rosy face, stood beside him, and imitated him in shaking hands with people.

These are among the few highlights of his life at this age, and most of them were brought to him by Ye Yaodong in the past two years.

And Secretary Chen, who was already chatting with others on the red carpet, now took his place and stood next to Ye's father.

Ye Yaodong and Hong Wenle stood in the middle, with their respective more representative relatives and friends on both sides, and people from the town government also came.

Ten people stood in a row, and then someone handed them a red silk cloth and gave each person a pair of scissors.

There was a large circle of people standing around the red carpet, at least two hundred of them, all there to watch the fun. He estimated that at least half of them were workers waiting to start work.

Everyone on the red carpet held their heads high and smiled.

After the host finished saying the auspicious words, took the photos, and the fireworks and firecrackers sounded, someone shouted "Good luck in the new work" and their scissors cut the cloth strips with a click.

Everyone applauded, and they put the scissors on the tray, shook hands with each other, and walked away with smiles on their faces.

"Dad, you are so awesome..."

"Dad, you are so awesome, so awesome..."

"Dad, that's great! So awesome!"

Father Ye smiled and asked, "What about me?"

Mother Ye laughed and scolded: "You are old and shameless. You still want to be praised for your achievements. Without Dongzi, you can't even stand up."

The three children were very supportive. They surrounded Father Ye and praised him again, chattering and making Father Ye feel very happy.

Ye Yaodong didn't have time to stay here, he had to go into the factory and watch the workers start working.

"You guys play here for a while, I'm going to go into the factory."

Mother Ye said, "You go and do your work. We'll go shopping and then go back."

"I want to follow Dad!"

Lin Xiuqing tapped Ye Chenghu on the forehead, "Tiantian, you want a father now?"

"I still want to play here and go back with Dad later, is that okay?"

"I also want!"

Ye Yaodong said: "Then you guys just wait here and have fun by yourselves. When I'm done, I'll take you back."

"Okay~"

They happily rushed onto the red carpet again, running and jumping around.

At this time, more than half of the people had left. Many of them had gone into the factory building at the back, and the rest continued to wander around the factory.

We will definitely not chase people away on the first day today, but starting from this afternoon, outsiders will definitely not be allowed to come in.

When Ye Yaodong entered the factory, Ye's father and Secretary Chen followed him in and watched the production curiously.

The few people who had just cut the ribbon were all in the factory at this time, looking around. They were not allowed to enter before work started, and only now could they come in after the ribbon was cut, but not everyone could come in.

Everyone was amazed at the automated production and kept praising it.

When Mr. Ye followed everyone to visit the factory, he was a little nervous and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Before long, he had followed the others, putting his hands behind his back, listening to everyone's idle chatter with his ears perked up, and nodding from time to time.

When it comes to fish and fishing conditions, he can talk about it attentively.

It was already noon when they came out of the factory. Hong Wenle invited everyone to have lunch. Everyone else agreed with a smile, so they agreed as well.

But no one had a family with them, except for his wife and children, so he asked everyone to go first while he sent his wife and children home.

There were not many idle people in the factory at that moment, and the children had played enough and were sensible enough not to ask to go to dinner with him.

However, before sending them back, Ye Yaodong took the whole family to take a family photo on the red carpet.

Then the children felt fulfilled and got into the car obediently to go home.

Ye Yaodong and his father didn't return home until almost evening. They were both drunk and took a rickshaw back home.

I couldn't even drive the motorcycle, so I just left it at Hongsheng's place.

Lin Xiuqing was surprised to see them coming back in a rickshaw. Then, when she saw them getting off the rickshaw with unsteady steps and dazed eyes, she was instantly furious.

"Why are you so drunk? Where's the car? You don't even want the car anymore?"

Ye Yaodong said drunkenly, "Just go and open it tomorrow, it won't get lost."

The old lady also criticized you from the side, "Why are you just like your father? You don't learn good things, but learn bad things. You got so drunk that you didn't even drive the car back. Is it safe to leave it outside? Your father is really something. He loves to drink, and he even makes you drink..."

Father Ye staggered behind him and muttered, "You can blame me for everything. It was obviously me who went drinking with him, not him who went drinking with me..."

Lin Xiuqing had already asked Ye Chenghu to call Ye's mother over. One person was enough for her to handle, so it would be better to let Ye's mother criticize Ye's father.

Moreover, she was supporting Ye Yaodong, and the old lady also followed suit to support Ye Yaodong. She looked back and it seemed that no one was supporting Ye's father?

She was too embarrassed to go up and help.

A drunk man is irrational. If he leans directly on her, it would be somewhat embarrassing for her as his daughter-in-law.

She shouted at her older and younger brothers next door, asking them to come out and help carry her father back home. Only then did Ye's father stop collapsing.

Ye Yaodong was drunk and unconscious, so he went straight to sleep when he got home.

When I got up and had breakfast the next day, I heard the scolding from everyone in the family, from the oldest to the youngest.

The old lady said: "It's not good to be so drunk. Next time, don't take your father out for a drink. One or two people get drunk like that..."

Ye's mother cursed the most fiercely: "Old man, you get drunk as soon as you see alcohol. You can't even walk. You drink all day at home. You can't drink enough in the village. Now you drink in the town. In the future, you will drink in the city and in BJ..."

Father Ye could still retort a few words, "If I can drink BJ, then I'm awesome. You'll wake up laughing in your dreams."

"Look at what you can do. Next time you get drunk, I'll slap the soles of my shoes on your face."

Lin Xiuqing also said: "After going out to drink, he didn't even want the car anymore. He didn't even know how to drive it back? He just left it outside. Don't let it get lost. He doesn't know how to control himself..."

Ye Yaodong also retorted: "I'm glad I knew you were coming back."

"What? You're still reluctant to come back, right?"

Father Ye added: "Everyone told him not to leave, and told him to play in the second half... Ouch...hiss~"

Ye Yaodong quickly kicked his father to prevent him from saying things that he shouldn’t say, which would cause unrest in the family.

"What second half?" Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother asked in unison.

"He said it wasn't dark yet, so he told me to continue drinking in the second half."

Ye Yaodong glared at his father.

His father glared back at him.

Lin Xiuqing said unhappily, "Drink your head. You're already drunk like that, and you're still going to play in the second half? You really don't need to come back for the second half."

"No, I definitely knew to go home. Look how much I drank yesterday, and I knew I had to come back."

"So I have to praise you?"

"Actually, it's already impressive that you knew to go home after being so drunk. The car is parked over there, so it can't be lost. What's there to be afraid of if someone is watching? I'll drive it back later."

"I don't even want the car anymore..."

"Don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking! I'm just following the rules. If something happens on the way, it will ruin the happiness of one family, or even several families. I can't atone for that even if I die a thousand times."

Ye Xiaoxi was also shouting, "Dad, don't drink. Your snoring is so noisy."

"Can I still disturb the neighbors?"

"Yeah, I can't sleep..."

Ye Chenghu said: "Dad, I heard everything upstairs."

“The soundproofing is really poor.”

Lin Xiuqing urged him, "Hurry up and eat, then drive the car back. You should know that you shouldn't drive out after drinking."

"If I knew I was drinking, I definitely wouldn't drive out. I would just ask the workers to take me there."

"It's so grand, with a dedicated person and car..."

"Oh, it's an open top!"

Ye Yaodong quickly finished his meal and got off the car to avoid having to listen to their nagging.

"Dad, come with me and drive."

"Why do you need me? Can't you just go and drive it back by yourself?"

"I don't want to walk. Let's ride our bikes together. Then you can ride your bike back and I'll drive back."

"Is it so strenuous to just walk a few steps? And we need two people to go..."

"Then don't go. You can just stay here and get scolded."

Father Ye quickly put down his chopsticks and followed him out.

Ye's mother was still chattering behind him, "He should have stayed at sea. Once he got home, he was restless, either looking for someone to drink with or someone else, with all kinds of excuses..."

"It's not possible not to make wine. Wine is needed for cooking. If we only make a little, it won't be enough to put in enough effort..."

After Ye's father followed Ye Yaodong out, Ye Yaodong said to his father, "Dad, you are really stupid."

"You are the one who is so stupid. How dare you say that to me?"

"You dare to talk about the second half in front of them?"

“I didn’t go.”

“Is this a matter of going or not going?”

Father Ye remained silent.

Ye Yaodong added: "Luckily I'm here, otherwise you would have been taken away."

"Really? I can't remember."

"If you dare to drink, I will break your legs when you come back."

"What does she know? No... They were obviously trying to take you there, what does it have to do with me? And you're still blaming them for what they did."

"Hurry up and go out to sea tomorrow. We've already caught up with you by coming back early this time, and you've had a great time. If you stay at home for a few more days and drink a few more days, my mother will start nagging me again."

Father Ye cursed several times, "There is no place for me in this family."

Father Ye knew that the ribbon-cutting ceremony would be held on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and as the father, he could definitely go, so in order to catch the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he returned early from this trip to the sea.

In order to return early, we only rested for one day and then hurried out to sea.

Ye Yaodong said silently in his heart: I am the younger brother in the family.

Suddenly, he became curious, "Dad, do you still collect the gold yourself?"

"What are you asking? What's there to ask?"

Understood.

A little advance notice: starting from the 29th of the month, there will be double monthly tickets.

Many comrades in the background have reported that they did not have tickets at the beginning of the month, but only got tickets at the end of the month, and they also wanted to participate in the lottery. So this month, we will hold lotteries at the end and beginning of the month to allow comrades who only got tickets at the end of the month to participate.

This year, every item in the lottery has received unanimous praise from everyone!
Except for the fruits submitted by readers, I have tasted and reviewed the others, and the fruits all received positive reviews!
