Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1485 Warm Companionship
Ye Yaodong couldn't fall asleep. He kept his eyes open and watched the sky outside getting brighter and brighter. He estimated the passage of time and glanced at his watch from time to time.

It’s a bit difficult to wait for dawn. If only I had a mobile phone to play with, I wouldn’t feel the time passing and only one or two hours would pass.

When Lin Xiu woke up, she saw Ye Yaodong, who was staring at the bed board above his head with his eyes open in boredom.

"Awake? What time is it?"

"It's almost 7 o'clock, we have to get up."

"Did you just wake up too?"

"I was woken up by this guy at 5 o'clock." Ye Yaodong pointed at Ye Chengyang who was on the inside of his bed.

Lin Xiuqing raised her upper body slightly before she could see the child inside.

"Why did this kid get up so early? Is he so excited?"

"I don't know what time you went to bed last night. Get up. We'll wake them up after we wash up."

"Ah."

The couple got up quietly and let their children sleep a little longer. They are growing up and more sleep can help them grow taller.

After washing up, I woke up the three children one by one.

Everyone was sleepy and looked like they hadn't gotten enough sleep, but the first thing they asked when they were woken up was, "Are we going to the Magic City?"
After they gave affirmative answers, several of them suddenly came to their senses.

By the time we got on the boat, we were already jumping up and down with excitement.

Ye Xiaoxi also told them that the boat ride was not far at all and was much closer than coming from home.

Lin Xiuqing had a day's rest yesterday, and felt much better when she was on the boat again today. It was just that the wind was strong outside, so no one was outside to enjoy the wind, and everyone stayed in the cabin.

It was really huddled together, with people crowded together. Also, because it was a short trip, there was no place to lie down, so everyone was squatting or sitting on the ground.

They also brought some snacks for the children and a few small toys, otherwise the children would not be able to sit still.

Also because we were all company and we could chat with each other, it felt like time passed very quickly.

Ye Yaodong has been traveling back and forth to Shanghai for the past few months, at least 10 times if not 8 times, and he has become very familiar with the journey.

After getting off the boat, he rode a motorcycle, took his wife and daughter in front, and let a few other friends walk behind, and let their two sons also ride on the motorcycle.

The others didn't come here as often as he did, so naturally they weren't as familiar with the place as he was, and he also had a map in his hand.

But he thought he would have to change the map after the Chinese New Year, as he felt the streets were changing every time he came here.

Ye Xiaoxi sat in the middle like a hamburger, but he did not forget to wave and shout at the motorcycle next to him.

"Sister, brother, we are first..."

Ye Chengyang shouted: "Speed ​​up, speed up, uncle, speed up..."

"Dad, Dad, they've passed us, Dad, speed up... We want to be first..."

Ye Chenghu cheered excitedly, "Wow, haha, we are the first place..."

"father……"

Lin Xiuqing interrupted her directly, "Stop arguing, drive slower, what are you competing for? Safety first, there are people ahead."

At this time, Ye Yaodong made a turn, and the person in front went straight.

"Oh, wrong, wrong, uncle, we went the wrong way, my father went that way..."

Ye Xiaoxi gloated, "Ahaha, brother and the others took the wrong path, they are the last one now..."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the buildings that kept moving backwards, from low bungalows to high-rise buildings, from dirt roads to concrete roads, and she watched with great fascination. When she went out and arrived in different places, she was curious about everything she saw.

"How long will it take us to get to the villa?"

"More than twenty minutes."

"That's quite far. Is this Magic City quite big? It only takes us a dozen minutes to get to the town by motorcycle. This place is twice as big as the distance from our village to the town."

“There’s no comparison.”

While driving, he had to identify the road and pay attention to pedestrians, so he didn't say much.

They sped past on several motorcycles, and passers-by pointed and talked with envy.

The others had just taken the wrong turn, and now they all followed closely behind him, not daring to rush to the front.

When they arrived near the villa, Ye Yaodong slowed down.

"We're almost there. It's in this area of ​​houses."

"Mom, the house is so beautiful. My room is a princess' room, it's pink, and I'll share it with you tonight."

Ye Yaodong asked: "What about me?"

She hesitated for a moment, "Then...then I'll let you sleep too."

"You are such a heartless little thing. You are still hesitant and unwilling to sleep with me. Who decorated your room and bought your bed?"

"Hey, I want to sleep with mom. I haven't slept with mom in many days."

"So you slept with the dog yesterday and the day before yesterday?"

"Who are you comparing to?"

"Mistake, here we are, get off!"

"Wow, here we are, exactly the same as last time."

"Haha, it's the same house, of course they are exactly the same. If they are different, then we've gone to the wrong place."

Ye Yaodong found the key and gave it to Lin Xiuqing to open the door. He continued to sit on the motorcycle and waited for her to open the iron gate. Then he rode the motorcycle in and parked it in the yard.

"So beautiful, so this is the house?"

"Dad, is this our new home?"

"Yes, that's right, this is our new home in Magic City."

Lin Xiuqing looked inside with joy in her eyes, "This house is really beautiful. You can't tell it's old at all. It's exactly the same as on TV."

Ah Guang interrupted, "That's because you haven't seen how tattered it is. I didn't know how tattered it was when I first bought it, but now it looks pretty good after cleaning it up."

But it is really expensive, but A Guang doesn't dare to say that.

Who knows whether Dongzi honestly confessed that he bought the house for 10 yuan. If it was exposed from him and caused a quarrel between the couple, he would be guilty of a capital crime.

"Mom, hurry up, can you open it?" Ye Chenghu held the railing and kept shaking the iron gate, unable to wait to go in.

The others followed suit and also stood on the railings of the iron gate and shook, they were extremely excited.

"Why is there no one around?" Lin Xiuqing asked curiously, and opened the lock on her hand. The children rushed in screaming.

"People around here are either from the company or the boss. At this time during work, of course there are not many people around. The nanny is usually at home or in the garden."

"That's true. Everyone is out making money at this time. The weather is not good today. There is no sun. People at home won't run out to feel the cold wind. They will just sit at home and watch TV."

Ye Yaodong led her inside, took the key from her hand, showed her which one was for the front door, and asked her to continue opening the door.

Lin Xiuqing was very happy, "Why don't you just take it and open it yourself?"

"Well, you are the hostess, so I must let you open the door. You must know how to open the door and how to enter our house."

"Wow, what a big sofa..."

"It's so beautiful, this is the house on TV."

"Do you need slippers on this floor?"

"You have to take it off, but it won't be clean anymore."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Of course I have to take it off. Wipe it for me later."

"You said I would change your bed and mop the floor for you. Did you come here to do this job on purpose?"

"It's my own house, so of course I have to keep it clean. If I don't clean it, who will?"

"Wow, this sofa is so soft. Wow, it can bounce me up to the sky."

Ye Chenghu fell onto the sofa, then got up and threw himself onto the sofa again.

"This is so interesting! This is so interesting, so this is the sofa!"

Ye Chengyang also climbed onto the sofa and kept jumping, extremely excited, "Dad, I like the new house, I like this house."

"This sofa costs thousands of dollars. If you break it by jumping on it, I will skin you alive."

"Then I won't jump anymore. I'm going upstairs!"

Ye Chenghu also quickly got down from the sofa, "I want to go upstairs too, I want to choose my own room..."

"Wait for me..." Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly followed, "Brother, my room is on the third floor..."

Ye Yaodong said to the others: "Your room is still the same as before, so there is no need to change it. You have already slept on the bed anyway."

"Row."

He then said to Lin Xiuqing, "You don't have to clean it up. These are the rooms they slept in anyway. After the New Year, when I come up again, I can ask someone to clean it up then."

"That's fine, then I'll mop the floor in the living room."

"You don't have to mop the floor anymore. It's not that dirty. My mother mopped the floor every day when she was alive."

"It's been a few days now, and there will be dust if no one lives here. When we go home for the New Year later, we will have to cover the sofas and furniture, otherwise dust will accumulate."

"Nothing to cover."

"Then go buy some cloth. I'll measure the furniture and make it for you when I get home for the New Year. It'll be just in time for you to cover it after you hire someone to clean it."

"it is good."

Seeing her walking around the room excitedly, Ye Yaodong followed her and introduced the layout of the room to her. He even wanted to hug her, but when he saw a few old men sitting on the sofa who were in the way, he had to give up.

"This room on the first floor was originally supposed to be the nanny's room. Anyway, I bought all the beds in the same place, so there's no difference. My parents stayed here a few days ago, and I let my two sons stay here at night. We sleep on the third floor with my daughter."

"Bullshit, they'll definitely sleep upstairs."

"Then clean up the room that Ah Shang slept in the past few days and give it to them."

"Which one can you show me first? I'll clean up first, otherwise it will be dark soon."

Ye Yaodong led her upstairs.

The four children upstairs were running around, making a lot of noise and fighting over which room to get.

After he went up, he told them there were only two rooms to choose from, so they each chose one and planned to sleep separately.

As long as they dare to sleep in a room by themselves, he doesn't care about them. It would be best if Ye Xiaoxi also had a room by herself.

Lin Xiuqing sincerely sighed, "This house is really nice."

"Of course, it's 10 yuan, but it's not because the house is expensive, it's mainly because the land here is expensive, the location is good, and there is a small garden. Any shop of to square meters costs to yuan."

"too expensive……"

"This is Shanghai. Anyway, we have a lot of money now, so it's okay to buy a house and put it there. It may be more valuable in the future."

"Well, I've already bought it. I can live in it anyway. It's a good house."

"It's late today. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. There are many department stores and shops here. There are many places to visit and many shops to visit."

Lin Xiuqing nodded and went into Ye Xiaoxi's pink house to rest.

The two girls rolled around in the quilt.

"Dad, my sister said she wants to sleep with me tonight."

"Are you two afraid of sleeping in the same room?"

"No!" they said in unison.

"Okay, then you guys go to sleep, your mom and I will sleep on the first floor."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him in reproach, "How can two of them sleep alone when they are so young? I will sleep with them, and you can sleep on the first floor, or in my son's room."

"Ye Xiaojiu!"

"Dad, I can sleep alone. I'm grown up."

"Did you hear that?"

"Then you can sleep on the floor in the room and bring the bed up from the first floor."

"That's fine, we can sleep on the floor together. I'll go down and move the bed now."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes. She was dragged into this. She had no choice but to sleep with him. She had to sleep with him no matter what.

While he was going downstairs to move the bed, she also went to the balcony. It felt so good to look down from that high place. She could see the small garden and the neighbor's garden and balcony.

However, it looked like no one lived there. The yard was overgrown with weeds and no one took care of it. The outer walls were also mottled and dilapidated.

After Ye Yaodong came up, he saw her standing on the balcony, so he walked out and hugged her from behind.

"do you like it?"

"I like it. This house is so well built, with big, bright windows and plenty of space. The bed you bought is also good. It's the kind that foreigners sleep on, not like the bunk beds we have in the countryside. The windows in our hometown are small and the light is not good. Although the land is not small, our first floor is all houses, and there are three rooms..."

Lin Xiuqing talked about the differences between her hometown and the Western-style house in detail, and basically talked about the advantages of this house.

"But this yard is just full of grass. We should plant some vegetables."

"Why are you like my parents? As soon as you get here, you say that such a big yard is wasted and we should grow vegetables instead."

"Haha, originally, everything in the city is expensive, and you have to buy everything. There is no land to grow anything. It's rare that we have a yard here, and we can grow some vegetables for ourselves. It's so convenient, and we don't have to go out to buy them."

"Then when you move in, you can take your time to clean up the house. You can grow vegetables or flowers, whatever you want."

"How can I move here? I have so much work to do at home that I can't even handle it."

“I’ll move here someday.”

Wait until you can register a company. Then register one, no, register several, and hire a dedicated person to manage them.

The wave of layoffs came in the 90s, and it would be easier to hire some professionals so that you wouldn't have to do everything yourself.

In fact, everyone has become familiar with the job in recent years and does not need anyone to tell them what to do. Everyone knows what to do.

The job of killing fish is not certain, but as long as you tell us one day in advance, after a few years, our country's industry will be more developed and it will be easier to buy machines. Then it will be more convenient and the boss will not need to keep an eye on people working all the time.

“Maybe we can move here to retire.”

"You are wrong. You must retire in your own village. It is more comfortable to retire in your own village. People move here for the convenience of life and to enjoy a high quality of life. Or they move here for their children to study and receive a better education."

When you are young, you work like a slave in a big city and enjoy the convenient services of the city. When you are old or have earned enough, of course you return to the village to lie down and return to your roots.

“Studying here?”

"Yes, the teaching and teaching staff in this big city are definitely not comparable to those in our small rural area. People go to high places, and water flows to low places."

Lin Xiuqing lowered his head and thought.

"Let's talk about it in a few years. I can't leave my family right now. How can I let go of everything?"

"I also said to wait a few years. Anyway, the three of us are not that old now. After a few years, we can move here together after Hushang Middle School is completed, or we can move here after we finish middle school."

"Besides, you're thinking too far ahead. You just bought the house and you're thinking about sending your children to study here."

"I'm taking one step at a time and looking three steps ahead. The education in big cities is really different. With Ye Chenghu's character, I would have been thankful that he didn't repeat a grade in the countryside. If he is sent here for reform, he might be able to do better in the exam and get a high school diploma."

"Then why don't you ask the old lady to pray more to the Buddha and ask for more blessings from the ancestors?"

"How can you pray to God for something like studying? It's not about luck or anything like that. It mainly depends on your ability. The knowledge you learn is yours. If you study well, you will benefit from it throughout your life."

"Then you should explain it to your son more, not in front of me." Lin Xiuqing slapped his hand away and walked inside. "Now you are talking in a set way. Why didn't you read more books in the past?"

"Who knows what went wrong with me at that time? I didn't like reading so much. It was only when I grew up that I realized the benefits of reading."

The two of them entered the house one after the other. The two children in the house had already run out, leaving the door open. Downstairs there was the sound of children laughing and making noises.

"Lie down and rest for a while, and then go down to eat when it's time?"

"That's fine. It's closer here, but taking a cargo ship is slow. My back and waist are sore from sitting here. When I got on board, at least there was a bed to lie on. In the Magic City, I can only squat or sit on the ground."

"Then lie down and I'll give you a massage."

"Okay."

Lin Xiuqing took off her coat and lay on the bed, enjoying his service for a rare time.

After Ye Yaodong massaged her politely for a while, he became dishonest and rubbed her hard, almost causing an accidental discharge of the penis, but he didn't plan to do anything else.

The doors were all open, and the children were running up and down the stairs, in and out, which was not very convenient. Everyone else was sitting in the living room downstairs watching TV and chatting, so they couldn't hide in their rooms all the time.

Lin Xiuqing blushed as she sat up and straightened her clothes and pants. "Look at you, you are never honest."

"You are my wife. If I always treat you well, that would be really inappropriate. You should cry now."

Ye Yaodong raised his hands again, "They just returned to where they were supposed to be."

After saying that, he stretched out both hands and rubbed it hard, and one hand even reached inside the clothes to pinch it.

Lin Xiuqing patted him and said, "Come downstairs, otherwise we haven't been downstairs for so long, people will think we are doing something upstairs."

"Okay, let's go and eat."

He pinched her one last time, hard, before getting out of bed.

At this time, Ye Xiaoxi shouted downstairs, "Dad..."

"Why are you shouting? Am I not here?" He just happened to come out and go down the stairs.

"Your uncle wants you to eat..."

"I'm here. I just went to clean up the room. It's really nice to look at the garden from the balcony on the third floor."

Ah Guang said, "I wondered what you were doing upstairs? You didn't come down for a long time."

"What else can we do? The two kids were quarreling upstairs just now, so we went to see the view from the balcony and visited the other rooms."

"Go eat early, then come back and take your time to visit. Otherwise, it will be dark and it will be cold for the children to stay outside."

"Going right now."

The room was comfortable and warm. There was enough space for people to run and jump around as they pleased. There were many of them, so the party was lively and not boring.

This time when they went out, they saw someone walking nearby.

However, they just looked at them curiously, then shrank their necks and hurried home.

This kind of independent household is good, but the human touch is always a little weaker, and it is not as humane as the houses in the countryside where everyone lives next to each other.

It may also be because it was very cold and everyone didn’t want to stay outside for long, so no one talked to them and everyone walked away in a hurry.

"Eh? It's snowing?"

"It's snowing. Wow, it's snowing?"

“Ahhh, it’s snowing? It’s really snowing…”

"Wow, it's snowing..."

Everyone was walking on the road, and suddenly snowflakes started floating from the sky. Everyone widened their eyes in excitement.

The children were jumping and stretching out their hands to catch the snowflakes in the air.

"So this is snow..."

"What beautiful white snowflakes...Mom, it's snowing..."

"Ahhh, I finally see snow. Mom, shall we go home and get buckets of water? I want to take it back." Ye Chenghu was very excited.

"Nerves, they melted when you took them home."

"How could that be? Put on more. I want to show the snow to others."

Ye Yaodong also smiled as he watched the snowflakes suddenly fall from the sky. "We are quite lucky. It snowed as soon as we arrived in the Magic City today."

Xiao Xiao: "We are lucky. It is getting dark. When it is completely dark, the snow will be more obvious."

Ah Zheng: "No wonder it's so cold today. My neck was almost frozen from riding the motorcycle."

A Guang was worried that his daughter would fall because of the snow, so he picked up Pei Yu and said, "Hui Mei and the others went back at a really bad time. If we could see snow a few days later, she would be mad if I called her later."

"Let's walk faster, otherwise it will be difficult to go back if the snow gets heavy. No one has brought any spare clothes."

Ye Chengyang spread his hands and turned around to catch the snow. "Dad, why does the snow disappear when it reaches my palms?"

"Because the snow wasn't heavy enough, it melted before it could accumulate in the palm of my hand."

"Dad, I want to stay here for a few more days and watch the snow for a few more days."

Lin Xiuqing also stretched out her hands to catch the snow. "Maybe it will be gone tomorrow. I'm lucky today. This trip is not in vain. I can actually see snow."

"You came at the right time. We saw snow as soon as we went out. Are you happy?" Ye Yaodong turned around and asked the children.

"Happy, very happy, I must tell others when I go back."

"Okay, go back and write a 300-word composition! Yangyang should also write a diary."

The two stopped shouting at this time and nodded excitedly.

"Okay, the teacher also said to write a diary."
