Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1448: Put Yourself in Others’ Shoes
Ye Chenghe was more than just stunned with joy, he felt like he was floating in the clouds.

When Ye Yaodong got up early in the morning and walked to the door, he saw him squatting in the corner, grinning foolishly, touching his mouth from time to time, and then smacking his lips twice...

He walked over curiously and circled around the silly boy, but he didn't react.

When he squatted down and tilted his head to look, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Oh my god, Uncle San, what are you doing? You're so scary. You came over here all of a sudden without making a sound. You scared me."

"How could I not say anything? I've been circling you for several times and you didn't react at all, so I squatted down to see which stupid boy was thinking about sex!"

"No way!"

Ye Chenghe argued with a red face, still squatting there, but moved to the side, closer to the corner.

Make some room so that Uncle San can squat there too.

"Are you so happy? It's just a verbal agreement. We haven't even had the wedding banquet, the wedding, or entered the bridal chamber yet. And you're like this? Can you be a little more ambitious?"

"Why am I a loser? I can earn 300 yuan a month now, why am I a loser?"

"Is this a question of how much money you make? Look at you. You've been laughed at by your brothers and sisters these past few days, haven't you?"

"They know nothing."

Ye Yaodong squatted with him and nudged him with his elbow, "Did you kiss me on the mouth?"

Ye Chenghe bit his lower lip instinctively, then bit his upper lip shyly, pursing it back and forth, and then said unconvincingly: "No, don't talk nonsense."

"You can do it, a few days ago you just said you were following someone home, you didn't even hold their hand a few times, and now you're eating their mouth?"

Ye Chenghe quickly covered his mouth, "Shhh, Uncle San, keep your voice down. You can't talk about this."

"It's okay, you'll be legal soon."

"If someone hears it, I will say it was you who taught me."

"You unlucky child, how can you say such nonsense? How can I, as your uncle, teach you this? It's obvious that you can't help yourself!"

"It was you who reminded me to kiss!"

Ye Yaodong patted his head and said, "Nonsense, I'm just asking out of curiosity. How can it be a reminder? It's obviously you who is not serious and is being a hooligan."

Ye Chenghe rubbed his head and accepted his fate, "Keep your voice down, Third Uncle."

"You are about to get married. Once you get married, you will be an adult, not a child. You must take on family responsibilities and cannot just think about playing all day long."

Ye Chenghe raised his head proudly and patted his chest, "Of course, I will definitely work hard to make money and support my family."

"A family cannot be run by just one person. It takes both husband and wife working together to shoulder the responsibility of the family."

"I know I understand. She will come to work in a few days."

"Work is work. What I mean is sharing family responsibilities. This is not just about working to earn money, but also about sharing the trivial matters at home."

Ye Chenghe was confused, not quite understanding.

Seeing how silly he looked, Ye Yaodong didn't say anything. He thought he would understand later anyway.

"Did your mother buy a bicycle for your boyfriend?"

"How could it be my mother who bought it? It was obviously me who bought it. I earned the money! My mother took 300 yuan from me and spent it all on me!"

"Did you buy it?"

"I just bought it yesterday, and then I rode my bike to take her home, and she sat behind me and hugged my waist..."

Ye Chenghe said this with a very happy look on his face, with stars in his eyes.

"And then on the side of the path? In the bushes? Kissed?"

He nodded unexpectedly, then shook his head, eyes widening, "Third Uncle, stop talking nonsense, Third Uncle, you are always like this, right?"

"Today is the 27th. I have to go out on the 30th, you know?"

"Then I have to kiss her more...ask her a few times!"

"Have you got your diploma?"

"I'm going to get it today. Today is Monday. I went to school last Monday and finished my final exam. The teacher told me to get it at 9 o'clock today. It's still early now, so I'm squatting here."

"Why are you squatting here? You're going to get your diploma today. You can go there early and go to school with your girlfriend openly. You're already settled now, so you don't have to worry about people gossiping about you."

"But it's only 7:30."

"Wouldn't that be a good date for an hour and a half?"

Ye Chenghe thought about it and felt that it seemed to be right?

They have confirmed their relationship, their parents have agreed, and their horoscopes are compatible, so why does he have to wait until noon and then look for her secretly?

Now you can go there openly!
After Ye Chenghe figured it out, he ran away without even saying goodbye. He only remembered it after he ran out.

"Uncle San, I'm leaving."

Ye Yaodong shook the cigarette butt in his hand and was about to stand up, but unexpectedly another person squatted down on the side, and another one squatted down on the other side at the same time.

The two brothers appeared behind them without them knowing.

"Dad, has Brother Chenghe found someone to kiss?"

"!!!"

Ye Yaodong opened his eyes wide. How much had they heard?
"I heard it all, Dad. Brother Chenghe said you taught him how to kiss!"

"Listen to his nonsense!"

"Dad, do you kiss Mom too?"

The two brothers took turns asking questions like curious babies.

"Don't ask so many questions, kids. You'll understand when you grow up." Ye Yaodong tapped their heads before standing up. "Also, don't talk so much outside."

Ye Chengyang tilted his head and asked, "Dad, are you leaving on the 30th?"

"Well, you two have to be good and obedient at home and help with housework, okay? Don't run outside all day, it's very hot outside during the summer vacation."

"Dad, Chenghe has gone up with you, can we go up with you too?"

"Why are you following me up here?"

"Play. We are on summer vacation and don't have to go to school. Is that okay?"

Ye Yaodong thought about it seriously and refused. "If you guys go up there, I won't have time to take care of you. Sometimes I have to work until the middle of the night. Wait for two years, when you are older, I will take you up there to play."

They are still too young, and he is a little worried about having no one to look after them, but he can't just leave them in the camp and ignore them.

"We don't need to worry about it..."

“We will cook our own food…”

"We must not run around..."

"father……"

"Wait two years, until Yangyang is 10 years old, and then I'll take you two up there to play for a month or two."

There is nothing fun to do now. It’s just a change of place to stay. It’s shabby everywhere and it’s not as familiar as home. It’s fun and interesting to go up the mountains and down the sea with friends.

I guess after staying there for a few days, they won't want to stay anymore and will start clamoring to go home.

"Dad, either you take me with you, not Yangyang..."

"No, I can't go, and neither can you."

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Ye Yaodong just left.

It was only three or four days before he set out again on a long journey.

I always feel like when I go home, I'm busy with all sorts of things and time is gone, and I don't stay at home for long.

Ye Yaodong planned to go home, move a stool and sit under the osmanthus tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air and chat with the old lady.

The sun is very bright early in the morning. Apart from the porch at the door, the coolest place is under the tree.

There is an osmanthus tree and a jujube tree in the yard that have been planted for 5 years. They have grown from saplings into small trees, but they have not bloomed yet. They have just grown taller and stronger.

He estimated that it was too early to wait for it to bloom, as it was not a grafted seedling.

But when it blooms, the fragrance will fill the whole yard, and the house will no longer smell like fish every day...

Lin Xiuqing said every day that she had pickled herself into a salted fish.

"Jiujiu (Uncle) ~ Jiujiu ~ Go quickly..."

Pei Yu ran in with her hair disheveled and sticking everywhere, panting and her face flushed. Ye Yaodong spread his hands to receive her.

"Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning?"

Pei Yu grabbed his hand and was about to pull him out, "We had a quarrel. My father wanted to beat my aunt, but mother wouldn't let him..."

"Why do you want to beat your aunt so early in the morning?"

"Dad wants my aunt to get married, but she doesn't seem to want to."

"..."

Then he couldn't go there.

"Don't worry about adult matters, kid. Go play with Xiaojiu. She's sleeping in the room, go wake her up."

"Then I'll go find my sister?"

"Go."

Pei Yu immediately put his recent worries behind him and went happily to find Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Yaodong crossed his legs and thought. When Lin Xiuqing came back, he pulled her aside and talked to her.

"It seemed like there was a quarrel between the brother and sister over there, Guang, early in the morning. Xiaoyu came over and told me about it."

"Why are you arguing?"

"Xiaoyu said that A Guang asked Dong Qing to get married, but she didn't want to. I thought, we should wait until next month and not let Dong Qing work in the workshop."

"Ah?" Lin Xiuqing was surprised. "How can I do that? We are all family members. She has been working for several years. Suddenly, I don't want her to work anymore..."

"I was thinking of arranging her to work in the fish canning factory. Our workshop is full of women, and the men are all from the village. There are not many of them, so it's hard to choose. The fish canning factory now has at least 200 workers, and maybe we can find a suitable one. Otherwise, she is already 25 years old, already an old maid, and it's not good for people to gossip about her every day."

"That's right. She definitely doesn't like the ones from our village, otherwise she wouldn't have waited until this age. It's okay to arrange for her to live in the town. If she finds someone she likes, she can get married earlier. Other girls of this age would have given birth to several children."

"Well, while I'm here these two days, go to the factory and tell them. It's almost the end of the month, so we can finish the work in these few days and get paid this month. Starting from the 1st of next month, let her go directly to the fish canning factory to work."

"Okay, I'll talk to her later. After all, our place is small, so it would be better for her to go to the factory in town."

"I will also talk to Hong Wenle and see if there are any relatives or friends who can introduce me to him if they have good conditions."

"I introduced several of them to her before, but she just shook her head without even looking at them. I was too lazy to care. It was a good opportunity for her to go to work in the factory so that she could find a job on her own."

"I'll talk to Guang later."

Sad people.

He never thought that one day he would have to worry about this matter and have to change his career to become a matchmaker.

"Then wait until you finish talking to Guang first. I'll talk to Dong Qing after he has no objection."

"it is good."

He didn't go to look for A Guang right away, but waited until A Guang was bored and came out of the house. When he passed by his house, he stopped him.

Then the two of them sat down and chatted.

He casually mentioned that Pei Yu came to him in the morning and asked him to separate the fight.

By the way, he also casually mentioned whether he should arrange Dongqing to work in the cannery to see if he could get to know some more promising young people.

"It's good this way. She's been working for you for a few years. She has a stable job and more money. You can raise her up and she won't look down on anyone."

"It's just that her family is well-off and doesn't need her to contribute money to the family expenses. She can keep all the money she earns. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so proud of it."

"It's really frustrating now. No one listens to my advice. There's nothing wrong with finding an honest man in our village. It's really infuriating. People in the city don't necessarily have better conditions than us. The poor in the city still have an annoying sense of superiority."

A Guang's face was filled with sorrow when he spoke of this, and he even regretted letting her save so much money.

"That's not necessarily true. People are different. There must be good people in the city too."

"Now we can only give it a try and get her a job in town. As long as we can marry her off, everything will be fine."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death, just like you."

"How can I not be anxious? I'm 25 years old now, and Chenghe and his girlfriend are getting engaged at the age of 16. At her age, she will be able to have grandchildren in a few years."

"That's a bit exaggerated..."

"What's so exaggerated? Married at 18, had a baby at 19, and the son also got married and had a baby at 18, so isn't it normal for someone in his thirties to have grandchildren?"

The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. A grandmother in her thirties who still had charm...

"If she doesn't get married, the villagers will spit at her and she will be drowned. I am too embarrassed to go out. When I go out, the first question people ask is when your sister is getting married."

"You can't just find someone just for the sake of marriage. She has to like her, too."

"She likes him? The person she likes has to be good. Let's get her out of here first, to town. Doesn't the factory have dormitories? Let her stay there directly. She doesn't want to live in her hometown anyway."

"That's no problem. After lunch, will you come with me to the factory?"

"Okay, I'll go with you to make the arrangements first, and I'll talk to her when I come back."

"it is good."

It’s just that he is so outstanding!
Growing up with A Guang, I have been familiar with him since childhood. He filled my entire adolescence. What girl doesn't have spring in her heart?

He is so outstanding and dazzling, can make a lot of money, and is handsome. It is difficult to find someone who can match him!

"Why does Chenghe want to get engaged so soon? It should be too late in two years, right? He just graduated from middle school."

"He was worried that his girlfriend would run away with someone else when he was not at home, so he insisted on getting married the next day after he came back."

"He's really good. He doesn't study hard, but he's actively looking for a partner early in love."

"That's good. At least the study and tuition fees were not in vain. I gained something."

"You can still do this, pay money to go to school to find a wife."

"You're a winner in life. Our ship will leave on the 30th, probably before noon if not in the morning. You know that, so get ready early. I'll confirm the departure time in two days and let you know."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong didn't have much contact with Pei Dongqing. Anyway, A Guang and Lin Xiuqing conveyed his thoughts to him. Although he was the one who did the job, he didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

They had made their decision and agreed to it, so he didn't care anymore.

Anyway, he will be going on a long trip again on the 30th of the month.

Being home for half a month was really short for him, but also fulfilling, as he had few days of idle time.

When he was about to leave, the three children had tears in their eyes, which meant that his love for them was not in vain.

Lin Xiuqing said, "My father called me this morning and found out that Chenghe was going to get engaged. He was so anxious that he asked you to tell Ayuan when you meet him and ask him to find time to come home and get married."

"Oh my god, what do you mean by taking time off to go home and get married? You don't even need to see what your future wife looks like, you can just come back and get married?"

"My dad just asked you to convey this message and make him pay more attention to it. He is already 20 years old."

"Let your father write to him himself. I won't pass the message on. Just write the letter and send it to me directly. If Ayuan ever sends someone to send a letter, I will give him the information as well."

"Ok."

How come all the young ones have reached the age to get married?

This makes him look like he is getting old.

As he was talking, Ye Chenghe's eyes were also filled with tears.

The two young lovers were crying, which made people laugh.

Young people’s love looks sweet, but a kiss between middle-aged couples can give you nightmares all night.

Anyway, the boat hadn't arrived yet, so everyone was standing on the shore chatting.

The children were reluctant to leave at first, but seeing that the people didn’t seem to be leaving, they ran around and played happily on the pier in groups of three or four.

Ye Yaodong was bored and looking around while waiting for the boat, when he saw Ye Chenghe and his girlfriend sneaking towards the side of the dock purchasing point.

He nudged Lin Xiuqing with his elbow and raised his chin to signal her to look over.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing, "Go to the corner and whisper..."

Ye Yaodong leaned over and whispered in her ear, "He's going to be a hooligan."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him. "We are a legitimate engaged couple, how can you be called a hooligan? We are going to separate right after we got married, so of course I can't bear to let them go."

"Ah, how come everyone has grown up in the blink of an eye? How come everyone wants to get married?"

"In a few years, it will be your son's and daughter's turn."

"Bullshit, how old is my daughter?"

"It happened so fast. In the blink of an eye, Chenghe was chased around the village by his sister-in-law with a whip a few years ago, but now he has a girlfriend right away, right?"

"No, any bastard who dares to kidnap my daughter like Chenghe must be beaten to death. He is only 16 years old, a beast, a shameless bastard."

Ye Yaodong put himself in the other person's shoes and immediately became furious.

How could she have squatted with Ye Chenghe a few days ago, making faces and asking him if he had kissed her, looking so gossipy?

Now I wish I could beat him to death.

Ye Yaodong stared at Ye Chenghe's disappearing back, almost staring a hole in the wall.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Other people's daughters can be betrothed to your nephew at the age of 16, but your daughter can't be betrothed to you?"

"Fuck, of course not. He's only 16. Ye Chenghe is so shameless. Wait for me to teach him a lesson. He's such a beast."

I can't write it in time, I'll add another chapter later
