Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1473: The Wives' Group Inspection
"Pockets are cleaner than faces!"

Ye Yaodong added another sentence and snorted.

The two brothers were quite insightful!
This marriage seems even worse...

"Uncle San, are you serious?" Ye Chenghe looked shocked.

"Does your father listen to your mother?"

He nodded.

“Who manages the money in your family?”

"My mother..."

"If your father doesn't have money at home, does he ask your mother for it?"

They both nodded together.

"So when you get married it will probably be the same, you will just be farmhands working for your wife and children!"

"what……"

Ye Chenghe had a bitter face.

Ye Chengjiang frowned, then relaxed, "Fortunately I'm not getting married."

"That's not right, then why did you get married?"

"Because we need to carry on our family line. If we don't, where will we get sons and grandsons?"

"Uncle San, doesn't that mean she sleeps with me and I give her money?"

Ye Yaodong slapped him, "You're a whore!"

Ye Chenghe touched his head and got angry. His third uncle just relied on the fact that he was taller than him!
He said loudly: "Isn't that the same?"

"You go out and whore a whore for a few bucks, and she gives you a baby? She washes your clothes, cooks for you, and does housework for you? You're so lucky!"

"The lazy men in the village don't make any money, and they don't have money to give to their wives, but don't they also have children, do housework, wash clothes, cook, and serve like masters?"

"That's her luck. It also shows that a wife is married to live with, unlike a prostitute who you sleep with for money."

"Well, now that I'm married, I won't have any money anymore, so I have to give it all to my wife!"

Ye Chengjiang suddenly said, "No, Uncle San, why didn't you hand it in? How do you have money?"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. "I'm making money outside. It's strange that your Third Aunt can get the money from me, unless I go back. But then I have to give it to her willingly. If I don't give her the money willingly, how can she get my money?"

Ye Chenghe's eyes lit up, "I understand, so my father hides his private money every day and puts it in the bank!"

He understood!
You can hand it in, but you can keep it privately.

"You unlucky child, if your father hears you, he will give you another beating when you get home."

Ye Chenghe looked around and didn't see any trace of his father, so he felt relieved.

"Uncle San, it doesn't look like getting married is that good?"

"When you get married, you'll have someone to sleep with you every day, you won't have nosebleeds anymore, and someone will wash your clothes and cook for you..."

"My mother also washes clothes and cooks for me."

"Then do you dare to ask your mother to bring you water to wash your feet?"

"Then she can splash it in my face."

"Once you get married, someone will take care of your life..."

Ye Yaodong was thinking about how to tell him, but halfway through, he couldn't continue.

"Forget it, damn it, you'll know when you get married. You're not my child, why should I care about you so much?"

"After you get married, you have to take on the responsibility of supporting your family. It's only right that you spend the money you earn on your wife."

"If you can't manage money yourself, then let your wife manage it for you, but she has to be a reliable wife. If you give money to an unreliable wife, she will go to support her parents' family or squander it."

Ye Chengjiang whispered, "Then if I don't get married, I won't have any worries. I can make my own money and spend it myself. My parents' future will be mine!"

"Okay, you can go talk to your father now and ask him to make more money, otherwise you won't agree if he leaves you less money in the future."

"Uncle San, you take me for a fool."

"You two are big fools! In our entire family, there is no smart person except me." Ye Yaodong said unhappily.

Ye Chengjiang changed the subject, "Uncle San, when you go to drive a motorcycle, will you be back in two or three days?"

"what?"

"I'll go with you. Hasn't your house been tidied up? We'll go and sleep on the floor too. It was in tatters last time, and we haven't seen one that has been repaired yet."

Ye Chenghe also nodded, "It was agreed that we would stay in a western-style house for a while."

"Whatever, follow me if you want."

By then, some of the furniture will be able to be moved in, and I can go over and help move some of it.

"If it takes too long, we won't follow."

“It’s too late to make money…”

They went there twice in the first two months and it took up a month of their time. They didn't make any money for almost a month, and each of them had to put in 3000 yuan. They were even beaten. They were all scared.

He has to pay for his behavior in the first two months for the whole year. All the benefits went to his father, and they got nothing.

It's only because their father is out at sea that he can't take care of them. Otherwise, apart from driving a tractor to make money every day, they can't even think of running around with their uncle.

Now they have learned their lesson and ask in advance how many days they will be staying. They don’t dare to go if the stay is too long.

"I can't say for sure. Anyway, it will take two days to go back and forth, and there may be another two days in between. You can do whatever you want. If you are in a hurry, you can always take the boat back."

"That's fine."

Ye Yaodong has been traveling back and forth too frequently in the past few months. Now he needs to be more reserved and go out less often.

Anyway, the house renovation is almost finished. When the motorcycle is back in a few days, I won’t have to go there so often. I’ll cover the furniture and appliances with dust covers then.

Ah Guang asked, "When are you going to pick up your daughter? I don't even dare to call her now. If I do, I'll be hounded by questions."

His eyes were full of accusations, blaming Dongzi, and he said he would bring his daughter up.

Well, his daughter also wanted to come up, and she would ask questions every time she called. Even Huimei complained to him, saying that she asked the same question 800 times a day and her ears were covered with calluses.

"Let's watch it later. Otherwise, when will my dad go back and pick up my mom and Huimei? You have three children, plus Xiaojiu?"

Forget about Aqing, she is too busy. Of course she can't leave now unless it is the New Year. The weather has turned cold recently, which is a good time to dry fish.

"So many people? Aren't you just planning to pick up two children?"

"I thought since we have to bring them here, why not bring the adults here too? They haven't been here before, and Huimei doesn't have much to do anyway, so she can just take care of the children. I can also ask my mother to take some time off, otherwise Huimei won't be able to take care of so many children."

A Guang hesitated, "Let me think about it."

"You haven't been home for several months, so it's a good opportunity to bring the child here so that he can see her. You can stay here for a few days, and then take her to Shanghai to play for a few days and stay in a villa for a few days. When she's done playing, you can help send her back. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you want to go to sea or not. There are workers to do the work."

"Hey? Then can I let my wife come up too?" Xiaoxiao asked immediately.

Ah Zheng also said, "Then my wife can come up too."

"Sure, you have your own wife. If you want her to come up, then let her come up."

"That's fine. Let them go together and leave the children alone. Just leave the children to my mother when they go to school."

"I still have a few empty rooms here, so you don't have to move out when the time comes."

Normally everyone goes out to sea, and there are only about 10 people staying here during the day, including those working in the canteen.

It's not so bad for a group of women to bring their children up here. They'll just stay for a few days before heading back to Shanghai. If it's not just one or two of them, it'll be good for them to have some company.

"That's fine. We've been here for two years. Now that you've built so many houses here, you can bring your family over to have a look."

"Indeed, it is mainly because it is convenient to take a ship now. You can ask the cargo ship in advance. You don't have to go to the provincial capital or the city to take a ship. You can go directly to the dock in the town."

"It's a good opportunity to take my wives home to see the world, and let them brag about it when they go back."

"When the time comes, take him to the Magic City, and that will really broaden his horizons."

"By then, staying for 10 days or half a month won't be too long before returning."

Everyone was talking excitedly, and everyone was eager to bring their wives over to take a look.

Everyone has earned some money now, and they don’t have to work at sea every day. They can spare some time and want to let their wives see the world.

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was not a bad thing. Letting the wives come up and inspect it would make him feel more at ease.

When they return, they will have more face in the village.

"Then you can call your wife and discuss it with her. If the child goes to school, you can entrust him to the elderly at home to take care of him."

"Okay, I'll call back and ask later." Xiaoxiao replied, and the others nodded.

“Oh my,” Ah Zheng slapped his thigh, “My motorcycle will arrive in a few days, so I can take my wife for a ride on it!”

"Yes!"

"I see you guys are pretty free right now, so why don't you just go back and pick them up yourself?"

"That's fine."

Ever since they brought a worker from home to replace them on the boat a few months ago, they have been feeling quite comfortable. They can go out to sea whenever they want, and can come back on the seafood collecting boat whenever they want.

Both father and son can take turns to come back to rest, and they look very relaxed, unlike before when both father and son stayed at sea.

It’s different when you make money. You are willing to spend money to hire people.

They did what they said and then called home after they dispersed.

Then they immediately went to Lin Jishang to ask about the ship flight, and they were so excited and mobilised that Lin Jishang even wanted to bring his wife along.

When I was doing dangerous work in the past, I didn’t dare tell my wife anything. Even if I had money, I didn’t dare let my wife spend it at home, because the women outside spent much more than my wife.

Now that it has come out from the dark, I can talk about it in a decent manner and let her buy whatever she wants.

So, he immediately went to make arrangements.

Ye Yaodong called back in the evening. Ye Xiaoxi was so happy, but Ye Chenghu was crying.

Before he could say a few words to Lin Xiuqing on the phone, he heard Ye Chenghu's wailing on the other end of the line.

"I was just picked up. They both have everything, but I don't! I want to go too, I want to go too..."

When Lin Xiuqing shouted at him to shut up, he howled even louder.

"You are such a fool. You have to mobilize so many people. Can't you just bring the person up secretly? Now it's good. He started to get mad when he heard your daughter talking about it a few months ago. In the afternoon, he heard Xiaoyu come over and talk about it. He started crying during dinner and then waited by the phone."

"He has to go to school and can't come. Doesn't Yangyang also not come?"

"But you promised to buy a Transformer for Yangyang, and he showed it off to Chenghu the next day. He cried at that time and complained that I didn't wake him up at night to answer the phone."

Ye Chengyang also shouted into the phone at this time, "Dad, don't forget the Transformers you promised me. Ask your uncle to bring them back to me. This is my reward for getting 100 points in the exam!"

"I know, I'm so verbose."

"You're so nagging? These three have to ask 800 times a day. One asks when you'll be back to take her upstairs to play, one asks when you'll buy the Transformers, and one asks when you'll call back. They have to take turns asking every day. My head is going to explode."

Lin Xiuqing complained a lot and glared at the three people in front of her, wishing she could whip them.

"They are all here to collect debts. I owed them money in my previous life."

"Isn't it all your fault? The promises you made were all different, and you told them so early. Aren't you worried about them?"

Ye Chenghu continued to howl, "Dad, I want to go with you, I want to go with you too..."

Ye Yaodong heard it and said from the other end of the phone, "Bring him here after the winter vacation. Now let him study hard. If he doesn't do well in the exam, I'll break his legs. Don't even mention coming to Zhou City or Modu. I won't let him leave the house."

"Didn't you say last time that you were only bringing your daughter? Why did Huimei say this afternoon that she wanted to bring her three children up there too, and her mother too, as well as the wives of your friends? Why are there so many of them all of a sudden?"

"It just so happened that they were chatting and they excitedly said they would bring their wives here to see the world, so that they could brag about it when they go back and feel relieved."

"Will it be too much trouble with so many people?"

"What's the trouble? Let them take their own wives and go back to pick them up. They have nothing to do anyway. I'm not like a busy man. I just tidied up the house these few days. I can just add some furniture later."

"With so many people going up there and making it so lively, I want to go up there too."

Ye Chenghu howled again, "I want to go too, I want to go too..."

Ye Xiaoxi also shouted, "I want to go too. Dad promised me."

Lin Xiuqing frowned and glared at the two of them.

Ye Chengyang is very honest. He only wants Transformers. As long as they can bring them back to him, he will be satisfied. It doesn't matter if he doesn't go.

"There are so many things going on at home, can you leave?"

"Yeah, I can't leave at all."

"Wait a few months, when the winter vacation comes, you can make all the arrangements in advance and leave the work to me. I will go back and pick you three up, and you can come back with me during the vacation."

Lin Xiuqing immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there later."

After saying that, she immediately comforted Ye Chenghu, "Your father said that when you have winter vacation and your grades are good, then I will take you all there. If your grades are not good, you can stay at home and I will take your younger brothers and sisters there."

"Winter vacation is so long..."

"Then don't go."

"Go."

"If you want to go, be good and behave yourself. If you keep crying, I'll whip you to death when I have my hands free."

If she hadn't been on the phone and had no time to hit the child, she wouldn't have chosen to comfort him and keep him quiet.

Ye Chenghu quickly wiped away his tears.

Ye Chengyang was also happy, because then he would have Transformers and could go there again during holidays!
Ye Xiaoxi ran out happily, "Dad said he would take me there..."

She didn't hear the point of the words and was just happy, but she was not wrong to be happy.

Ye Yaodong could hear everything going on over the phone clearly.

"Okay, let's do this. When the time comes, let A Guang and the others go back to pick her up. My daughter can just follow them up. Mother will take care of her on the way. You can tell her about it later."

"Well, she found out this afternoon, and most of the village knows about it too. You have to take her to Zhou City and the Magic City to see the world."

Ye Yaodong laughed out loud, and he could imagine how delighted his mother was.

"I'll tell you when we decide on a time to go back. Prepare some thicker clothes for the child. It's colder here than at home."

"it is good."

After finishing the call, he hung up. There were other people waiting in line to make calls.

If nothing goes wrong, the cargo ship's flight will probably be around the middle of the month, and the motorcycle can be driven back before they leave.

Or they can choose to drive later, pick up the people first, and then take them to Shanghai to pick up the car.

Thinking of this, Ye Yaodong went to discuss it with other people.

This also saves the trouble of pushing the motorcycle back and forth on board. The wives will definitely want to be taken to Shanghai when they get on board, and it is more convenient to ride a motorcycle in Shanghai.

The place is so big, waiting for the bus is slow and crowded, but riding a motorcycle is also very beautiful and fast.

Anyway, the car will be left there when they drive it back in a few days, and they will have to go back to pick up people immediately, so it would be better to pick up the people first and then drive the car.

He talked to the others about it. Although they were eager to drive the car back, they felt that this arrangement was more convenient and saved them from making an extra trip to the Magic City.

As for their arrangements, when some small boats returned in the evening, the news spread throughout the camp.

Everyone was surprised, but no one thought much about it.

These people have made enough money and have plenty of free time, so they would think of bringing their wives here to hang out. However, they are so busy making money that they don't have time to bring their wives and children here to hang out.

At most, there was a few discussions about it in the evening, but no one mentioned it the next day, and at most, they would occasionally ask when it would come up.

But it was different in the village. The situation was in an uproar and the calm lake was boiling.

Those women all said that the wives in the group were lucky because their husbands made money and took them out to see the world.

Mother Ye was even more proud and beaming. Her three daughters-in-law did not go, but she did. She was so happy.

Whenever she mentioned it to others, she would pretend to be humble and say that her son had bought a big house up there and wanted to take her up there to have a look and stay for a few days.

This made her very proud. She was already showing off before she even left the house.

The originally quiet village suddenly became lively.

When the men came back one by one, it was so lively, as if heroes had returned.

The women in other villages were envious and jealous, and secretly complained about their men not taking them with them.

Ye Yaodong was not among the men who returned. Ye Xiaoxi looked for her father for a long time but couldn’t find him. She pulled A Guang to ask in confusion.

"Uncle, where is my father?"

"Your father is not coming back. He said he won't take you with him."

“Ah wow, no, no, he promised me, bad dad, stinky dad… woo woo, liar, big liar… I want to go, I want to go…”

She was stunned for a moment and then immediately burst into tears, crying very sadly, with big tears falling down her face.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, I'm just kidding."

Ye Xiaoxi beat him while crying, "Dad hasn't come back yet, he lied, he lied, a big liar, I hate him, wuwuwu, I don't want him anymore..."

"He didn't come back, but he asked me to come back to pick you up. Don't cry."

"You lied, he didn't come back."

"He's busy, so he just asked me to pick you and your grandma up. Then Xiaoyu and the twins will go with you, okay? Stop crying."

Ye Xiaoxi pursed her lips and paused for a moment, with big tears still rolling in her eye sockets. She wiped her red eyes with the back of her hand and said aggrievedly.

"Really? Did Dad ask you to pick me up?"

"Of course, let Xiaoyu go with you then."

She nodded, her pursed mouth still there.

Pei Yu happily pulled her and said, "Sister, let's go together. Don't cry. I'll ask Dad to take you instead of your brother."

"Uh-huh."

The twins were so anxious that they could not speak fluently. They just hugged Guang's legs and shook their heads, shouting, "No, no, sister is bad!"

"Bad sister!"

Ah Guang picked them up one by one and coaxed them with a smile, "Take them all, take them all."

Ye Xiaoxi and Pei Yu walked in front hand in hand, whispering to each other.

"You must take me with you."

"Sister, I will definitely ask my father to take you there."

"Sister, I love you the most. Here is some candy for you."

The two of them shared happily and went back skipping and jumping.

After returning home, Ye Xiaoxi did not forget to complain to Lin Xiuqing.

"Mom, Dad is a big liar. Dad didn't come back. Dad doesn't keep his word..."

"Your father didn't say he was coming back."

"He said he would take me there. Call him. Call him now!"

"Just let your uncle take you there."

"Then call him and ask him to tell his uncle..."

Lin Xiuqing was cooking, and if she ignored him, she would keep pestering him, repeating herself, and talking.

She didn't stop until she took out the whip, but then she turned around and went back to look for the old lady.

She shook the old lady's hand, "Atai, do you miss your father? Let's call him, shall we?"

"Atai, uncle is back, but dad is not. Why don't you give him a call..."

"Atai, please teach me how to call my dad..."

"Atai..."

"Okay, okay, let's call your dad right now. Stop shaking. It's making my old bones fall apart."

The old lady smiled and held her hand, while leaning on a cane with the other hand, she walked into the house.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at the two men, one old and one young.

Ye Xiaoxi saw it and immediately hid to the other side of the old lady.

The old lady smiled and changed her crutch to one hand, and patted her with the other hand to comfort her.

"We'll call your dad right now, and tell him to take you up there to play."

"Yeah, A Tai is the best. I like A Tai the most."

The old lady was happy.

She had memorized the phone number by heart and had asked them to teach her how to make a phone call.

Now I feel no stranger to dialing the phone...

Ye Xiaoxi stood on a chair, supported herself on the table with both hands, and stared at the phone.

Lin Xiuqing said: "Your father might be working, don't think about calling him every day and disturb him."

The old lady hesitated, "Then I won't fight..."

"Yes, just for a moment..."
