Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1522 Killing Two More with Tears
Father Ye responded to everyone's jokes with a smile, and moved the bag of dried fish in front of him into the car, and by the way, he flipped through the marks he had made.

There are just a few small black dots, which are indeed a little bigger than sesame seeds. Because they are bundled together, the marks are all in the folds. It is really hard to find them if you forget which bag they are from.

It was good to have it recovered. Father Ye wore it for most of the rest of the day without taking it off. He didn't have much work to do anyway.

As for moving the goods onto the boat, he just put his hands in his sleeves and gave orders from the side.

He was reluctant to take it off when he set out for home, and he kept wearing it during the voyage until he reached the shore and returned home, then he was reluctant to take it off.

This is his, he must hide it well, and wear the one from Ye's mother's hand when he gets home. Anyway, he doesn't have to do anything when he gets home, just stroll around and show off every day, and it's a good opportunity to wear the gold jewelry and show off in the village.

"Dongzi, we'll be home soon. I'll leave this with you first."

Ye Yaodong looked at the gold ring handed to him, hesitated for 0.1 seconds, and shook his head, "You keep it for yourself."

His father would never be able to hide his true colors, and he would have to hand them over sooner or later. He didn't want to take over, otherwise his mother would say that he and his father had colluded to deceive her, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

"I'll leave them with you for a few days. We'll be home soon, and I have no place to put my clothes. As soon as I get home, I'll have to wash your mother's torn clothes, and I'll have to change my clothes as well."

"Then put it anywhere you want, just not here."

"What are you doing? You look like you're afraid of the plague."

"If my mother knew, she would scold me for days. You should keep it for yourself. I am only responsible for buying it, not hiding it."

"No, what does it have to do with you? I'll leave it there for now."

"Why do you have to hide here with me?"

"That's fine, then put it on the bed behind your cab..."

"You have to take the bed home to wash it."

"I'll take care of it myself."

Father Ye didn't waste time talking to him and went to hide first.

Ye Yaodong was notifying his fishing boats to prepare to move the cargo and change ships. The large ships could not dock at the village pier, so they could only move the cargo out and put it on the deck of the small boat, and then enter the village pier.

A large number of fishing boats rushed to dock at the village before dusk, and the village was in an uproar. Two days earlier, the village had already become lively after receiving the phone call. After two days of discussion, the fishing boats finally returned.

Their group of fishing boats had attracted everyone's attention since they approached the town's port. Anyone who saw them knew that they were the fleet from Baisha Village.

Their village has long been famous, and this is a reputation that they have built through concerted efforts in recent years.

The village hasn't been this lively in a long time. The entire dock was filled with women and children who had come here after hearing the news. Before they even reached the shore, they were filled with joy just by looking at the heads of people on the shore.

Ye Yaodong was not so unkind as to ask everyone to move their things as soon as they docked. He asked everyone to go back home to reunite with their families, have a good rest at night, and come back early the next morning to unload the goods.

The old lady sat at the door of the workshop and stretched her neck. If Ye's mother hadn't been watching her, she would have gone out to join the crowd.

Seeing Ye Yaodong's family walking at the back carrying sacks of various sizes, her face broke into a smile.

"Oh, I see it, I see it... How did you get to the back..."

Ye Chengyang, Ye Chenghu and Ye Xiaoxi were the first to run over, jumping and skipping. Each of them had a school bag on their back and another in front of their chest.

They first shook their backpacks to show off their newly bought backpacks, and then opened their backpacks to show off the spoils of this trip. Each of them had two backpacks that were full.

The old lady looked at them with a smile on her face and showed off, "You bought so many things, are you having fun?"

"It's fun, it's so much fun, I'm going to go again next year, wait till I grow up, I'll take you there."

"Atai, my father won't take you there. I will take you there in a few years."

"Atai, my dad said he wants to celebrate your 90th birthday this New Year and buy lots and lots of cakes."

"I ate that cream cake in Shanghai and it was delicious, sweet and soft..."

"Atai, you can eat it too, it's delicious..."

The three children surrounded the old lady and chattered excitedly.

Originally, the first thing the three wanted to do after getting off the boat was to find their friends and show off their new backpacks. They carried two backpacks, one in front and one behind, both filled to the brim. They were eager to share.

But their friends just responded casually and had no time to care about them. They all went to talk to their fathers and ask for gifts, which made them depressed and their joy was greatly reduced because no one shared it.

When they saw the old lady, they immediately shared their experiences with her. Only when someone praised them did they become happy again.

When Ye Yaodong approached, he also heard what the three children said.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but it turns out that these three can't keep any secrets at all. I told you as soon as I stepped ashore."

The old lady touched his arm happily and brushed the dust off his body.

"It's good to have this intention. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Besides, you'll only be 88 years old during the Spring Festival, not 90 yet. Let's talk about it in two years. You're so busy every day, don't let it delay your earning money."

"I remember my age pretty well. It seems I'm in good shape recently."

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

"It's great, but she still wanted to squeeze into the crowd. If I hadn't pulled her, she wouldn't know where she would be squeezed to, and it would be a problem whether she could get up or not." Ye's mother still had nothing good to say.

"Let's talk about it when we get home." Father Ye was carrying a sack on his shoulder, and then he walked towards Ye Yaodong's house.

"What's in that sack you're carrying on your shoulders?"

"Dongzi bought it. Who knows what it is? It's extremely heavy."

"Another gift?"

"Maybe."

"By the way, remember to go to the border post tomorrow to get your ID cards. Everyone in the village has already done so, except for those of you who are not at home."

"Didn't you say you would come to my house to do it?"

"I've been here once and have already done everything for you. Those of you who are not at home can only go to the border post to do it yourself. I won't come to your house anymore."

"understood."

It was announced at the end of last year that identity cards would be popularized, but it was only done village by village at a time. They set off before it was their village's turn.

So no one here has an ID card, including Ye Yaodong.

He went home in May, but he was busy with many things and he was alone, so he was too lazy to go to the border checkpoint as it was too much trouble.

"Let's do it tomorrow morning, otherwise I won't have that much free time later."

It just so happens that I have to go to the town tomorrow to give Hong Wenle a New Year gift, and go to the city the day after tomorrow.

He had already booked a full schedule for his return trip, and this year he would be busy until New Year's Eve as usual.

"Mom, you can also look for a date tomorrow. Which day in the first month of the lunar year would be the best? Then make a batch of invitations and send them out to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

It was a lively time right after the Chinese New Year, and everyone was doubly happy. Most people were at home. I would be 88 years old right after the Chinese New Year, so it was just right for me to celebrate my birthday in the first month of the lunar year.

Although there are times when people celebrate birthdays on their own day, the timings of family members are usually not so coincidental. The first month of the lunar year when everyone is at home is the best choice, and it is also the most lively time of the year.

Although Ye's mother thought that he was making a fuss, since he was so filial, she might as well make it lively and bring honor to their family.

"Okay, I got it. Let's check tomorrow to see which day of the first lunar month is better."

"Let's decide on it tomorrow, and then have someone write the invitations and send them out in advance, so people have time to prepare."

The old lady kept saying, "Don't bother yourself with that. Why celebrate your birthday? I've never celebrated a birthday in my life..."

"It's because we've never celebrated it before, so we're going to hold one for you to liven it up."

Father Ye said, "I want to celebrate your birthday, but you don't want to do it. I've thought about it but I haven't gotten it yet."

"Then you can pass it."

"You're dreaming. You're only in your 50s and you're celebrating your birthday. You don't have to worry about being laughed at."

"Can't I wait until I'm 60?"

"If you have money, you can live on your own."

"We'll live together. We're the same age."

Mother Ye rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I'm not going to live past 80, why would I celebrate my birthday at 60?"

Father Ye: "..."

Ye Yaodong almost couldn't hold it in.

Father Ye was so angry that he was still thinking about her. "Can you say something nice?"

"I am telling the truth."

"I'll sleep here at Dongzi tonight."

"It's up to you. I'm still alone."

Ye Yaodong tried to smooth things over, "What are you arguing about? You're arguing right after you got home. I haven't even put down my food yet. I'm starving. Let's hurry up and cook."

"You are my father. He does whatever he wants. He wants everything that others have."

Father Ye was too lazy to argue with her. He had been giving in all his life, so he could only continue to give in.

Ye Yaodong asked his father to help sort out the things he brought back, as they were all New Year gifts to be given away. He planned to arrange them one by one in the evening so that he could get up early the next day to send them to the places that needed to be sent.

He is really busy.

The old lady sat in the yard and watched the father and son busying around. She looked so happy and the smile on her face never faded.

It wasn't just their family. The whole village was filled with laughter and joy, fathers were loving, sons were filial, and couples were harmonious.

And the three siblings finally had a chance to show off.

The little friends followed their parents home and got their gifts as they wished. Then everyone gathered at the door to show their gifts.

The three men never took off the two backpacks in front and behind them. The ground in front of them was filled with their spoils. They gestured and told them about what they had seen and heard in the Magic City.

The storytellers didn't spit as much as they did when telling stories, and their tone was full of emotion. They couldn't be called home for dinner even if they were called back.

Even the dog became anxious and kept patting them with its front paws, wanting to drag them home for dinner.

Ye Xiaoxi was annoyed by the two wolfhounds biting her clothes and licking her face. "Stop making noise. Go and call the eldest and second brothers to eat first."

"Wang Wang..."

"Ye Xiaojiu...Ye Xiaojiu..."

"Ye Xiaoxi!"

She stood up instantly and said, "Here I come."

She quickly picked up the things on the ground and put them into her schoolbag, then ran home. When she got home, she found that her elder and second brothers were already at the table. No wonder her mother called her Ye Xiaoxi!
Her experience from childhood to adulthood taught her that as long as Ye Xiaoxi was called, she had to respond, and calling her by her full name meant that she was on the verge of being whipped.

"You didn't even come back for dinner. How many times did I have to call you? Are you deaf?"

"Why didn't you call me when you came back?"

Ye Xiaoxi came up to her two brothers and said something, then looked at Lin Xiuqing indignantly, "Mom, it's all my elder and second brothers' fault. They came home for dinner and deliberately didn't call me. I was standing far away and didn't hear it."

Lin Xiuqing poked her forehead fiercely and said, "I knew the bad guys would complain first."

"I'm going to wash my hands."

She crouched with her back bent and her head tucked in, slipped under Lin Xiuqing's hands, then put down her two schoolbags and washed her hands.

Ye Chengyang said while eating, "I called you twice but you didn't respond. I even asked Gong Xi Fa Cai to call you."

"They can't talk." Ye Xiaoxi washed her hands before sitting back in her seat.

The two wolfhounds stood up beside her, one on each side, and put their front paws on the table to protest, "Woof woof woof woof woof..."

Ye Xiaoxi pressed their heads with one hand each and pushed them off the table, "Stop making noises, stop shouting, your saliva is spraying on the food."

Ye Yaodong looked at the dogs wandering around the house and felt that he had walked into the wrong house.

"Why do I feel like there are more dogs at home?"

"There are more in the workshop."

"If you don't have a lot of money, you can't even afford to keep a dog."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "It doesn't take much to raise them. Anyone in the village who has leftover meat and bones will bring them to the workshop to feed them."

Mother Ye interrupted, "What's wrong with dogs? Only rabbits can give birth, and they stink to death. The two rabbits those two damn girls brought back last year have already given birth to so many litters. They also protected them every day and wouldn't let us kill them. I secretly killed some of them, otherwise they would have been too numerous to count."

Ye Xiaoxi was shocked: "My Xiaobai!!!"

"In your mouth."

The meat in her mouth immediately fell out, and tears started to flow.

"My little white... woooo, little white..."

Now that I’m older, I can’t eat with tears in my eyes like when I was little.

Mother Ye continued: "You just said it was delicious."

"Wow, no, no, I thought it was duck meat..."

Ye Yaodong also picked up a piece and tasted it. "It's delicious. Next time, add more spiciness. It will taste better."

Ye Chenghu hadn't picked up his chopsticks at first, but when he heard it was rabbit meat, he immediately picked it up and said with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, it's so delicious, the rabbit meat is so fragrant, I want more, I want more tomorrow."

Father Ye also said: "It is indeed fragrant."

Ye Chengyang picked up a piece and shook it in front of her, "Are you sure you don't want to eat it? You worked so hard to raise these rabbits, but now we eat them instead of you. Isn't that a pity?"

"If she doesn't eat, give it to me. I'll eat a few more bites for her." Ye Chenghu quickly put a few chopsticks into the bowl.

Ye Xiaoxi was so angry when she saw this that she quickly grabbed the food from his bowl with her chopsticks out, "Don't eat this! It's mine!"

"Don't you want to eat? I'll eat it for you!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "I worked so hard to raise it, so of course I have to eat more. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Right?"

Lin Xiuqing also smiled and picked up a piece of leg meat for her. "Just now she said that the meat fried tonight was delicious. Anyway, you have already eaten it. It won't be a loss to eat a few more pieces. Otherwise, the rabbits you raised will all end up in your brothers' stomachs."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the rabbit meat in the bowl with tears in her eyes, "My Xiaobai..."

"This is not Xiaobai, this is Xiaobai's grandson and great-grandson. Xiaobai didn't kill him."

Her tears stopped instantly, "Didn't Xiaobai kill him?"

"No, he's still alive and well. You'll know when you go check him out after dinner."

"That's good."

She wiped away her tears and put a piece of rabbit meat into her mouth. The more she ate, the more delicious it became. Later, she started to fight with the two brothers for it.

"Mine, this is mine, I raised it..."

"Don't steal my rabbits. I won't let you eat them. They are all mine..."

Ye Chenghu laughed at her: "Woo woo woo... my Xiaobai, you can't eat my little rabbit... my little rabbit, my Xiaobai..."

"Humph, I eat what I raise, you can't eat it!"

Ye Yaodong smiled and asked her, "It smells good, right?"

She nodded.

"Then kill two more tomorrow?"

Ye Xiaoxi reluctantly said, "One?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll kill another one tomorrow. Do you want to stew it or stir-fry it?"

"If you want it fried, add chili!"

Lin Xiuqing suppressed her laughter and nodded, "Okay, let's kill another one and stir-fry it tomorrow."

Mother Ye muttered quietly, "There are several little white ones, who knows which one it is."

"I recognize it!"

"Eat quickly, eat quickly."

The person who said she recognized it went to a tent on the hillside behind the house after dinner to look for it. She found that there were indeed several white eagles, and she didn't know which one it was.

After being away for a week, she could no longer recognize which was her Xiaobai. After trying for a long time, she decided to go find Pei Yu.

Pei Yu pointed out the rabbit that was locked in a cage with a gray rabbit, and she felt relieved.

"Sister, I had rabbit meat tonight. It was super delicious..."

"Ah? You ate the rabbit? Didn't you say we can't eat it? Then I want to eat it too!"

"I'll kill them and send you a bowl tomorrow!"

Pei Yu nodded.

After a while, Ye Xiaoxi ran back home and told Ye Yaodong, "Dad, let's kill two little rabbits tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong: "?"

"It's not enough, my sister wants to eat too!"

"alright."

After achieving her goal, Ye Xiaoxi happily took Pei Yu away, describing to her how delicious rabbit meat was as they walked.

Ye Yaodong looked at the two people's backs and laughed.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "She doesn't know how much she has eaten. She has to kill one every few days. I just don't know that Pei Yu has eaten a lot too."

"Where do you get so many emotions from, little girl? You can't kill this, and you don't want to eat that. But don't you think it tastes really good when you eat it?"

"Yes."

"I'll give you these accounts. I've checked them anyway. Just record the amount of money that came in, and then calculate how much money you made in total this year. I'll go take a look around the workshop."

"Go."

There was a bustling scene at the doorstep, and he was entangled before he could even reach the workshop.

The women and men around were chatting and laughing at the door, talking about various things they had seen and heard above and on the sea, and they were in high spirits.

"How's business going at Adong's new processing plant?"

"When will we open one here?"

Ye Yaodong smiled and responded, "We have just started, and we haven't even made back our investment yet. Don't we have a workshop here? Isn't this enough for you to make money?"

“Haha, I heard you bought two more boats this year?”

"Yes, we will pick a good day and drive back to Tianhou Temple to worship Mazu."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are two more every year, what will happen in the future..."

"I heard that we're going to hold a birthday party for the old lady after the New Year?"

"Yes, we'll set up a few tables and invite everyone to come."

"It's a good thing..."
