Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1433 Going on TV

"I think you'll be put in a sack sooner or later!"

"No way, I'm more like a sack for someone!" Ye Chenghu was so proud of himself with his empty fists.

"Behave yourself and don't bully your classmates."

"No way, everyone in the school is on good terms with me." Ye Chenghu was really happy. "Dad, you made us proud today."

Ye Yaodong slapped him on the back of the head, "How dare you talk like that?"

Ye Chenghu touched the back of his head and smiled foolishly, "When I grow up, I will make you proud."

"I think my dream is faster, so I went home."

"Then you dream first and wait until I grow up!"

Ye Xiaoxi was held in his arms, dancing with joy, "Let's go home~ Let's go home~"

"Don't move, you might fall down. You're already old, and you still need to hold me..."

Ye Xiaoxi hugged his neck tightly, very happy, drooling all over his face, "Then I am your little baby too."

"You are my ancestor."

"Yes yes yes..."

The two brothers following behind were so envious. Why weren’t they the youngest?

The children who followed around also had envious looks on their faces and all looked up at Ye Xiaoxi.

The villagers are now still discussing the videotaped interview with the visitor from the county. They are proud that the village is about to produce a celebrity.

When Ye Yaodong led the children past, everyone greeted him with a smile and asked when they could see him on TV.

"How could it be on TV? I wasn't told it would be on TV, but it would be in the newspapers. Please read the newspapers carefully when the time comes."

"Why not put it on TV? It must be on TV!"

"That's right. They carried so many cameras here and recorded it. It will definitely be on TV!"

"If it's on TV, you have to remind the villagers to watch it. I'll call all the relatives over to watch it together."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "Okay."

The television penetration rate in the village is now quite high. Basically 70% of the households are equipped with black and white TVs, not to mention other basic small appliances. Many households also have washing machines.

Bringing home appliances to the countryside and popularizing them throughout the village is the real prosperity.

The mess from lunch had long been cleaned up, with only some meat and bones still visible in the doghouse.

"Mom~Mom~We are back~"

"Mom~ Dad is back~"

The old lady smiled and said, "Your mother is busy in the workshop."

The three children immediately abandoned him.

The group of children who had followed them to the door also ran after them.

The area around Ye Yaodong suddenly became deserted.

“These three heartless people came up to me so enthusiastically just now, flattering me all the way, but as soon as we got home they wanted to be my empress and didn’t want me anymore.”

"Are you tired? Sit down and take a rest, drink some tea, and catch your breath. You've been with me all day, so your mouth must be dry, right?"

As she said this the old lady was about to pour him tea.

"No, I'll come by myself later."

"I'll pour it for you. You sit down and take a rest. I'm quite free, so I want to walk around and move around."

He was indeed thirsty, but seeing that the old lady walked so quickly, he just gave up and sat at the door to get some fresh air and rest for a while.

The old lady was also very happy. "I just lit a stick of incense for your grandfather and told him that you have made great progress. It will soon be in the newspapers and on TV. Please make him happy and ask him to bless you."

"Please bless us again. The villagers will not say that there is green smoke coming out of our ancestral grave, but that there is red light coming out of our ancestral grave."

He didn't say that the ancestral grave was on fire, he just said that there was a red light. The old lady didn't react and didn't understand what the red light meant.

"I'm going to sleep for a while. I got up early in the morning and tossed around. I haven't slept well for several days. I finally managed to deal with this matter."

Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief and have a good sleep. Otherwise, he would be worried and anxious all the time about this matter, which would make him feel uncomfortable and unable to eat or sleep well.

"Then go to sleep. I'll watch over the kids so they don't disturb you."

Ye Yaodong was thinking about going to bed, but when he lay down he kept thinking about today’s scene and kept wondering if he would be on TV!

He didn't think much of it at first, thinking it would just be reported in the newspaper, as it has been reported before. But who would have thought that they would bring cameras here and record it. Of course, he and the villagers also thought a little more about it and became excited.

If he could appear on TV once in his life, even on a local station, he would laugh in his dreams and brag about himself until he was old.

The more Ye Yaodong thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. He became more and more excited, but he didn't know when it would be broadcast.

He will have to go to Zhou City soon. It is very far away and there is no TV there. Even if there is, it cannot receive the local TV stations here.

That's a pity, right?
It’s such a rare opportunity to go on TV, but I can’t even watch it?

The hundreds of people above them can’t see it?

My thighs are broken!

I can't sleep now.

He put his hands on the back of his head and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.

At this moment, the phone outside rang, and Ye Yaodong quickly got out of bed to answer it.

The calls at home are usually either from him, or from people looking for him, or are related to him.

He is at home now, so he must be calling him.

As soon as the old lady heard the phone ring, she came in quickly from outside, but when she saw that he was about to answer the phone, she was no longer in a hurry.

"Who called? Your dad?"

As soon as Ye Yaodong picked up the phone, the person on the other end said, "I'm not yet able to be your father."

"Go and die!"

Lin Jishang didn't mind his impolite tone, "It will take me about a week, maybe fourteen or fifteen, before I can leave. Can you wait?"

"I have to wait even if I can't. Otherwise, what boat should I take at this time? I didn't book it in advance."

"I'll finish the things on hand as soon as possible. There's an important cargo ship that won't arrive until Friday. I have to make all the arrangements before I can leave."

"Okay, then you have to hurry up, this Sunday at the latest. If you're later, I won't be able to make it. And I have some goods to ship up there by your ship by then."

"No problem. We'll pick you up at the village dock even if the boat is empty. I heard you made a big splash in the village today? People from the county came to interview you. Are they going to arrange for you to appear in the newspapers and on TV?"

"You're damn well-informed. You found out right after the person left?"

"I just called my wife before calling you. I want to ask if there are any major or minor events in the village."

"Wait for next week's newspaper to show you!"

"Then wait until next week?"

"No way! I'll ask my wife to send me the newspapers then."

"Okay, let's set off on Sunday. I'll let you know the exact time in two days. That's it for now. I'm hanging up."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the old lady asked hurriedly: "Who is it? Your friend? Why are you young people so rude? Damn, damn, talking like this..."

"We're used to talking about it, and everyone's used to hearing it."

"I'm used to talking like this..."

"If I don't talk like this, people might not be used to it."

After saying this, Ye Yaodong went back to his room and lay down again.

The old lady was left mumbling, saying why young people like to talk like that, as if they were asking for trouble...

Even if it is postponed for a week, he might still be able to see himself on TV. It might not be that fast to be in the newspaper, as typesetting and finalization takes a lot of time.

When the newspaper comes out, just ask A Qing to send him a copy.

After answering the phone, I can sleep well.

He woke up at dinner time and told everyone that he would go up on Sunday and stay at home for about a week.

Lin Xiuqing asked: "What about the kelp..."

"It's agreed that you will come to the village to pick me up and transport the goods up there."

The secular man came to pull two trucks of kelp before he came back, and then knew that he would be back before the end of the month, so he calculated the time and called his home at the end of the month.

We have also agreed that we will wait for him to go up and then prepare about 30 tons of cargo to be shipped up.

The original words were to prepare about 1 yuan worth of goods, and then he calculated that it would be around 30 tons.

The freight will naturally be settled by him with Lin Jishang when the time comes, and it will also be a good opportunity to introduce Lin Jishang to him.

After all, the layman is also a local boss, so there is no harm in the two of them getting to know each other. They are both capable people, and there may be cooperation in the future.

Many times, the paths are broadened in this way. People get to know each other through introductions from friends, and after a few interactions, they become friends, since they are all about the same age anyway.

He estimated that if the people in Linji were decent, they would definitely not charge shipping fees. What a good opportunity it was to make friends.

After all, it's on the way, and when I get to Zhou City, I might need help from others.

Nowadays, anyone who drives a big truck and can carry so much cargo is definitely not an ordinary person.

"You've already contacted me, right?"

"Yes, I called this afternoon."

"That's perfect. The remaining kelp in the warehouse won't be shipped to the city. The next kelp will be stored at home and shipped to you by boat. You don't have to ship it to the city and arrange for it to be loaded on the boat. Anyway, you can pick it up at your door."

"Well, how many days will it take to collect them all?"

"It's almost done. We'll be able to collect all of it in three or four days. We can collect five or six tons every day now. Adding the stock in the warehouse, it's just enough."

"it is good."

"Luckily your friend wants a lot, otherwise the city's warehouses would be full and they would sell faster than they can be collected."

"Of course. The kelp is only harvested for about a month, but we can store it and sell it for a year or two. We sell it slowly anyway. We couldn't keep the stock in the first few years. It was consumed in a month, and there would be no stock left for those who wanted it later."

"Ah."

Mother Ye asked, "When will you come back next time after this trip?"

"After I go up, if there is a boat passing by, will my father come back instead?"

"Why would your father come back? He has nothing to do."

The old lady also said: "Ask your father to help you more. If you have something to do, you can come back more often. What can your father do?"

Well, there is no place for his father in this family anymore.

I hope that when his son grows up and takes over his job, his mother and Aqing will not treat him like this!

However, in another 10 years, Ye Chenghu will be 21 years old, and his father will only be around 60 years old, right?
"Look, it's not like you can come back just like that. You have to see if anything happens and if there's a suitable ship."

The old lady continued, "When you go up in a few days, why don't you catch 10 chicks from your home? I applied extra water in the past two months, and they all just happened to hatch last month. We've been raising them for more than half a month, so you can take them up in a few days."

"No, it's too much trouble."

"Why bother? There are only 10 of them. Didn't they say there's a public canteen? You don't have to worry about the workers' food and drink. After they've been raised for a few months, you can stew them for yourself."

"Are you afraid there won't be any problem if you buy it up there? It's so troublesome and I have to bring it up there to raise it." Ye Yaodong was a little impatient with these things.

"That's different. This one is local and hatched at home."

"If you put it up there, this chicken will be from outside the city."

"Then we can bring it with us."

"You also need to register them."

"Look at what you said, kid. I'll put it in a basket and you can take it up to your father to raise it, okay?"

"Okay, then let's catch 10 more ducklings. There are plenty of fish and shrimps here, so we can feed the ducks."

You can let his father raise him, it’s not difficult.

The old lady was happy, "Okay, okay, I'll bring one up to you in a couple of days."

After all the important things in his mind were settled, Ye Yaodong returned to his original life of drinking and eating.

He really had no friends at home and nowhere to hang out, so he could only go to the fish cannery more often. After all, he had to take care of the place when he was at home.

As a result, whenever Hong Wenle sees him, he would drag him out for drinks every day. Now he has become very familiar with Hong Wenle's group of friends.

A few years ago, when they went fishing on the boat, he still went to earn money, but now he drinks and chats with them and they are on good terms with each other.

His wealth has long surpassed these people.

Today, Hong Wenle found out that he was being interviewed and recorded by someone from the county, and they asked him to go out for a drink to celebrate. He also boasted a lot and called him Boss Ye all the time.

For such a big event, of course Boss Ye treated everyone. Boss Ye was also very happy today, but he didn't say anything promising. He didn't say he would be on TV, only that it would be in the newspapers.

They played until late at night, and people told him not to go back, but Ye Yaodong insisted.

No matter how much fun you have, you still have to go home. It’s not good to stay out all night. He can’t challenge his wife’s bottom line.

I'll be going on a long trip again soon, so of course I have to be careful.

Lin Xiuqing knew that he had gone out to drink again, but she didn't care about him. As long as he knew he would come back, it was enough.

I was also thinking that I would be going on a long trip again soon, so it wouldn't be a big deal to have some more drinks with friends.

Ye Yaodong happily went out early and came back late for several days. He didn't go out to play until Saturday because he had to leave at 6 o'clock the next morning.

The children at home were a little uncomfortable with his sudden absence from the house.

But of course they were happy that they could do their homework while watching TV.

After Lin Xiu washed the dishes and cleaned up the house, she looked at her two sons' homework. They had only written two strokes of a character and not even a complete word, while their eyes were staring at the TV.

She tapped the table with her fingertips a few times and said, "Put your eyes back and write quickly."

The two of them then quickly retracted their eyes and lowered their heads.

She also walked to Ye Yaodong's side and said, "Don't watch it. Let them finish their homework first. It's only 6 o'clock now. The local TV station will broadcast it at 6:."

"I'm going to wait and let them write after they've seen his father's heroic demeanor."

Secretary Chen came over yesterday and said that the county would come down to record a video of their village over the weekend and it would be broadcast on the local TV station at 6: this Saturday evening.

Starting from yesterday, the village loudspeakers have been playing the same broadcast all day long, reminding villagers to watch local TV stations at night.

This is the honor of the whole village.

After all, it was not Ye Yaodong alone who was on TV, but their village. As long as their village was on the local TV station, it would become famous throughout the city and the province.

It can also become a representative of wealthy villages in the province, a representative of breeding, and a key breeding village in the province.

This is beneficial to both the county and the city. The county and the city are also carrying out breeding pilot activities. The publicity in their village is a typical success case.

The county also wants to set an example and give the people confidence. Otherwise, why would they bother going to the countryside? This is also what the country advocates.

After hearing Ye Yaodong's advice, the two brothers immediately put down their pens and ran over to sit next to him.

"Dad, let's watch you on TV first before we write. What if we miss it?"

"Yeah, you being on TV is the biggest thing in our family."

"Dad, you are so awesome."

"Dad, hurry up and get the camera. If we're on TV later, take some pictures!"

Ye Yaodong slapped his thigh fiercely, "I didn't bring my camera back."

"Ah? That's such a pity..."

Lin Xiuqing laughed and said, "Even if we bring it back, we can't take pictures. It's dark here, and we're filming people on TV, so it's bound to be blurry."

"It's okay! I'll go to the county later and ask them for the videotape. I can keep it as a souvenir and buy a videotape player so I can watch it anytime in the future."

"This is good!"

"Dad, if you're on TV, does that mean you're a star?"

"No, those who sing, act in TV dramas, and entertain the public are called stars. Your father is called a celebrity!"

"Yes, yes, my dad is a celebrity!"

Ye Chenghu chuckled, "Dad, then you're a celebrity, and they still call you Salty Fish Dong."

The smile on Ye Yaodong’s face froze, and he stared at Ye Chenghu with the eyes of death.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Go do your homework."

Ye Chenghu sensed the murderous intent, his neck shrank, and he immediately moved the stool farther away and sat down again.

How can you possibly do your homework before you finish watching TV?
Yangyang can watch TV, so he doesn’t want to do his homework alone.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "I guess everyone in the village is sitting in front of the TV now? Even watching the Spring Festival Gala is not so enthusiastic."

"The Spring Festival Gala is nothing good. It's not as good as the gambling table. But tonight is different. This is related to the glory of our entire village and the collective honor. Everyone must want to sit in front of the TV and watch this. After all, the Spring Festival Gala has nothing to do with everyone, but this is related to everyone."

Ye Xiaoxi squatted between Ye Yaodong's legs and swayed. She didn't understand what the adults said and was getting a little impatient waiting.

"Dad, what time is it? Why hasn't it started yet..."

"almost."

"What time is that?"

"6:10."

"How long will it take?"

"One more minute?"

"It's been 20 minutes, and you still say it's almost over."

She put her arms on his legs, curled up her legs and swung on them, or swayed and bumped into his legs.

He is never honest and keeps asking all kinds of questions.

How many times can you ask what time it is in 5 minutes?

Ye Yaodong was getting annoyed with her questions and took out a dime for her. "You are so annoying. Go buy some candy yourself. Don't rush me."

Ye Xiaoxi quickly put the money into her pocket and then continued to squat in front of him.

"do not want!"

Ye Chenghu was envious and jealous. Why should he be asked to do his homework without saying a word?

Ye Xiaojiu can still get money by nagging all the time!
Comparing people to each other is really infuriating.

"Mom, why didn't you make me the last one to be born? Why didn't you make me your younger sister?"

"What a stupid question! Do you think I love giving birth to you?"

Ye Chenghu became even angrier.

"Brother, you can call me sister!"

"Get lost."

"Brother, you can also call me brother!"

"roll."

The two little wolfhounds looked at Ye Chenghu and then ran around and circled around them.

Although it is called a little wolfdog, it is actually not small. It has grown to be very big after just a few months of age and is only slightly smaller than an adult native dog.

But compared to wolfdogs that can grow very large, they are still cubs now.

Ye Chengyang laughed, "Brother, I don't even want to talk to you about your prosperity."

Ye Chenghu hummed and shouted, "Come here to wish you good fortune and prosperity."

Ye Xiaoxi took the candy out of her mouth and put it in her palm, "Wish you good fortune and prosperity."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him with disgust, "Aren't you disgusting? You put your sticky palms on them for them to lick."

Ye Xiaoxi's palms were itchy from being licked, and she giggled, "I don't want to eat it anymore, you said it would cause tooth decay. I put it in my mouth and then I remembered that it was for Gong Xi Fa Cai. They are so well behaved."

Ye Chenghu was asking for trouble and was so angry that his teeth were itching.

The old lady smiled and said, "You two should stop teaming up to bully your brother all the time."

Ye Chengyang laughed, "I didn't, it was her."

Ye Xiaoxi looked innocent, "I don't have any either, I just don't want to eat candy anymore."

Ye Chenghu stood up and said, "Humph, I'm going to visit my hometown. I won't go with you guys."

Lin Xiuqing said, "Mom just finished her meal and hurried back. She seemed to say that she wanted to move the TV out and put it at the door for everyone to see. To watch Ah Dong on TV, there should be a lot of people at the door of my hometown right now, right?"

Ye Chenghu's eyes lit up, "Mom, I'm going back to my hometown."

After saying that, he immediately ran out.

It’s good to have more people, it’s more lively.

He is bullied every day at home, but when he goes out, everyone listens to him.

Seeing him run away, Ye Chengyang also became eager to join in. Hearing that there would be a lot of people watching TV in his hometown, he also wanted to join in the fun. It wouldn't be lively enough with just a few people at home.

"Mom, I'm going too. I'll call my eldest brother back to do his homework later."

When he told me to run, I ran away.

Both of them ran away, and Ye Xiaoxi also stood up eagerly.

Ye Yaodong pushed her back.

"You better not go. You just bullied someone and now you're chasing after him. Isn't that embarrassing?"

"It's not shameful! He's my brother!"

She ran out while shouting, "Brother, wait for me..."

Lin Xiuqing grabbed her again and said, "Wash your sticky palms first."

“No, no, brother, wait for me…” She was so anxious that she broke free and rushed out.

The two little wolfhounds saw them running away and ran after them.

The other local dogs also ran away.

It was quiet all of a sudden, with only the sound of commercials from TV dramas.

"I don't even have time to wash my hands..." Lin Xiuqing grabbed her and felt her palms were sticky, so she went to wash her hands too.

"It's better for everyone to leave, so we don't have to quarrel at home."

I don’t know if it’s because Ye Chenghu is the eldest, and the two younger ones can’t beat him, so they always want to unite to bully him.

But they cooperated very well.
