Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1509 Grievance
Ye Yaodong was not that anxious. Since they said it was not a big problem, then there must be no problem.

After finishing his shower, he happened to be downstairs, so he took the opportunity to make a phone call.

Ye Xiaoxi picked up the phone and asked in a clear, baby-like voice, "Hello, who are you? Who are you looking for?"

"guess who I am?"

"You're my damn father."

"How do you talk? Who taught you?"

Ye Xiaoxi blabbered, "Doudou's mother scolded him, saying that your damn father didn't send money back, and you just eat and eat every day..."

Ye Yaodong was speechless, "Don't learn what adults say."

"Oh, okay, Dad, when will you be back?"

"You've already called me a dead ghost dad, and you're still asking me when I'm coming back?"

"Dad, I miss you so much, mua~ I miss you, I want you to come back~ We all miss you~ Dad~ Dad~ Dad~ Dad~"

Ye Xiaoxi kept acting coquettishly over the phone, twisting her body this way and that, and her soft and tender voice became louder and louder.

The curve of Ye Yaodong's mouth corners became bigger and bigger, and the heat of July disappeared in an instant.

"heard it."

"Dad, Mom said she's sending me to first grade in September, and I want some pretty new stationery!"

"Buy it. I was wondering why you suddenly spoke so nicely and kept calling me."

"Dad, mua~mua~"

"Got it, got it, got it. I'll tell your mother later and ask her to take you to buy new stationery, make you a few new sets of clothes, and buy you new shoes. Everything will be new for you."

Even through the phone, he could feel her happiness and joy.

"You just understand."

"Just stick your butt out and I'll know what you want to fart."

"It tastes like garlic. Here you go."

"You idiot, you keep talking nonsense all the time. You won't be able to do that when you enter the first grade in two months, understand?"

"Know it."

"Go ask your mother to answer the phone."

"Okay... bang~ mother~"

As soon as he put down the phone, he heard her calling "mom" before she even stepped out of the house.

He shouted and ran away, and the sound gradually faded away.

Ye Yaodong thought that he made the call too late. When he returned to Shanghai, school would probably have started soon. By then, there should be a lot of new types of stationery. He could look for them and buy some to mail back to his three children.

In fact, they are not short of stationery and they buy them every year. When he sees something new, he will bring it back home for them. But children always get tired of the old and love the new. When school starts, they always want new things that they don’t have.

"Hey."

"Dad said you called me a few days ago and said Hong Wenle was taken away for questioning?"

"Yes, I was still in the factory at the time, and I saw two big hats coming over and politely asking him to go to the border defense station. But they came back in just over two hours. He said it was a routine matter and nothing serious. But I don't know the details, you have to ask him."

"Then I'll give him a call later to show my concern."

"Well, I heard that Lao Pei will also go up in a couple of days."

"Is everything alright at home?"

He thought that he would not come back until things were settled.

"That family took the initiative to cancel the engagement, saying they were afraid of delaying Dongqing. After all, they had been traveling back and forth for more than two months. As for the things they bought as part of the engagement, they don't have to return them. They said it was just compensation."

"That's quite conscientious."

"Who said it wasn't? If some wicked people said they were already engaged, then that meant they were still married to their daughter-in-law, and if they didn't agree to cancel the engagement, that would be very troublesome. Now at least they took the initiative to ask for help, saying they were afraid of delaying her, and even gave her compensation."

"This family is not bad, but it's also because A Guang and Lao Pei have done everything they can to avoid criticism. Otherwise, if they immediately canceled the engagement when something went wrong, they would be cursed to death."

"Well, Old Pei even called Yingqiu back and told her to give Dongqing to her and asked her to help find a suitable one. It would be best if she could get married as soon as possible."

"Now only Yingqiu has a different way."

"It's not easy for both sisters, that's why they say children without mothers are like weeds. It's hard to be without mothers. I'd rather be without a father than without a mother."

"What are you talking about? Then I'll just die? Can't I have both a father and a mother?"

Lin Xiuqing laughed, "I was just making a metaphor and a statement, you have to find fault with me, right?"

"It's okay. You'll be able to achieve it when you get older. Men tend to die earlier than women, and women live longer than men."

"That's true."

"That's why men have a hard life. When they are young, they listen to their mothers. When they get married, they listen to their wives. When they are old, they listen to their daughters. When they have earned enough money and can no longer work, they can die. Their wives can still enjoy themselves and their children can share the family property."

"You keep talking about a lot of nonsense all day long..."

"Just tell me if it's true!"

"Then it's normal for women to live longer than men. What can we do about it?"

"I won't talk to you about this..."

Ye Yaodong made a long story short and told her about what he had done in Shanghai a few days ago. He had to tell her about the increase in the family's property.

Lin Xiuqing is now indifferent to his purchase of houses and land, and doesn't say anything about it. He just bought it anyway.

There are already a pile of various contract and certification documents at home, and she has kept a separate drawer for them.

Now money is just a number to her. She hardly counts it. If she wants to know how much money there is at home, she just takes a calculator and adds it up in a notebook. She only counts it occasionally when she enters or exits the station to get money.

Looking back, when the couple sat on the bed and counted a pile of money, we were so excited at that time. Now, we don’t even have a partner to count the money with, and the happiness is halved.

"My daughter said she will be in the first grade in September. When are you free to take her to buy some new stationery?"

"I already have a lot at home, why buy more? I bought a lot when I went shopping in Shanghai during the Chinese New Year last year..."

Ye Xiaoxi protested, "That's what my brother wanted to buy. I don't have it."

"Why don't you just let him divide you? How many words can you write?"

"I don't want it. I don't like his. I don't want his. It's too ugly. I want to choose my own."

"Don't waste it. Use what you have at home."

"That's not mine, it's my brother's. I don't want his. I want to choose it myself. I want to choose it myself." Ye Xiaoxi stared at her stubbornly.

"You're just a little kid, but you have so many ideas. You still have to choose by yourself. There are so many things to do. You're so busy all day long, and yet you still have to take care of your trivial matters."

"Yes, yes, Dad promised. He just said that adults must keep their words!"

She was already stamping her feet angrily, twisting her body in all kinds of protests.

Ye Yaodong also said on the phone: "When you go to the factory in town, take her with you and take her to choose. Otherwise, she will keep thinking about it and ask me for it over the phone."

"You're the one who spoils her. Why didn't she ask me for it? Why did she ask you over the phone?"

"Didn't she pick up the phone?"

"Do you think she dares to come to me? You promised her that she would find things for me when I'm not at home. You just spoil her. Buy her whatever she wants. There are a lot of stationery in the house that she needs to buy. Do you buy them to eat?"

"Yes! Keep your word!"

"Just because I didn't answer the phone for a while, you took advantage of it. You're using chicken feathers as a token of authority. Go ask for the promise from whoever made it."

"I'll give it to you, then I'll go out and look around when I'm free in a few days. If I find anything new and different, I'll buy it and mail it back to you."

Lin Xiuqing glared at Ye Xiaoxi who was still protesting angrily, "You are the one who has too many things to do. Your father is busy as hell outside, and he still has to buy things for you."

When Ye Xiaoxi heard this, tears started to fall from her eyes. "But Dad has already agreed. Wow, wow, wow, I don't want that anymore..."

After saying that, she ran back to the old lady's room crying.

Lin Xiuqing was extremely helpless.

Ye Yaodong just heard the crying sound, "Why are you crying? You said you, I asked you to buy it for her, but you said all sorts of things. I said I would buy it for her when I had time, but you kept saying it. Now that I made her cry, are you satisfied?"

"If I don't tell her, she'll think we're all free. Why should we spoil her? She's already so old, she's going to be in the first grade."

"He's in the first grade, so he's a kid too. It's normal for him to be excited about going to school and want his own new stationery. It's me, so I don't want someone else's. Besides, can boys like the same things as girls?"

"It's all your fault that you promised her, so she dared to fight me."

"You can spare the time to buy her stationery instead of talking on the phone. You can also save the phone bill and have enough money for stationery."

"Just get used to it."

"I'll just indulge her. I'm happy with it. It's not a big deal. I'll just satisfy her with small things. Why make her cry? Go and comfort her and tell her that I bought it and sent it back to her. Then she can share it with Xiaoyu."

"I see. You are the only one who is a good person. I am the bad person."

"You are not a bad person, are you? Otherwise, how could she not dare to tell you?"

"Okay, hang up."

"Remember to tell her to comfort her."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes and said, "Your daughter is the most precious to me."

"Of course, it was hard to give birth to him."

"understood."

Seeing her crying, Lin Xiuqing felt distressed. The little girl knew everything, otherwise she wouldn't have cried and said she didn't want to do it after hearing that the whole family was busy.

After she hung up the phone, she went to the old lady's room.

Ye Xiaoxi was hiding in the quilt and crying silently, or maybe she was crying loudly with her head uncovered. The quilt was thin in the summer and could not cover up much of the sound.

"How can you feel so embarrassed to cry so loudly? Aren't you ashamed?"

Ye Xiaoxi ignored her and continued crying in ecstasy.

"Okay, stop crying. I'll take you to buy it tomorrow."

The crying decreased.

"No more..."

"I'll take you to town tomorrow and let you choose for yourself. You can pick whatever you want. Don't cry and throw tantrums like this all the time."

"Dad promised!"

"Then ask him for it. Didn't he say he would send it back to you?"

Ye Xiaoxi lifted the quilt, her eyes and nose were red, her face was full of tears, and she complained, "But you always said he was busy."

"He is just very busy. I am also busy, so you have to be more sensible."

She wanted to cry again, and tears flowed down her face.

"Stop it. I'll take you to buy it tomorrow. We have to go to the factory in town anyway, so I might as well take you with me."

"When you say by the way, it's by the way."

"Yes, by the way, wipe your tears and wash your face."

Ye Xiaoxi obediently got out of bed to wash her face, her shoulders still shaking as if she hadn't cried enough.

Then he walked out of the room with a pout on his face, and whispered, "I'll just buy a little bit, it will be quick."

"Ah."

She trotted a few steps, then stopped and reminded him, "You must keep your word."

"I promise."

Only then did she feel at ease to wash her face.

Lin Xiuqing shook her head helplessly and went back to her work.

Once they were all sent to school, she felt relieved.

I fell asleep while writing just now, slept for half an hour and then forced myself to wake up and continue writing. I was so sleepy.
