Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1524 Discussion (Monthly Ticket Plus)
Ye Yaodong didn't care what the two little girls discussed. He just went out with the basket. He spent the whole morning walking back and forth delivering gifts.

He went to town in the afternoon, but this time he was kept by Hong Wenle until midnight.

The next day he went to the city without stopping. After working non-stop for seven or eight days, he finally got all his things done and also made a trip to Vancouver.

All the accounts have been settled, all the wages have been paid, all the workers have been rehired, and even the workers' New Year gifts have been distributed.

He was almost exhausted. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for two days since he came back, and he had been on the road all the time.

When I close my eyes, all I see is the day’s accounts and money.

If he hadn't been determined to come back before the 30th day of the lunar calendar, he might still be outside.

After running around outside for so many days, he had never taken a shower and was in a hurry every day.

When I got home and slumped in the chair, surrounded by my wife and taking care of me, I felt relaxed. After I washed myself, I felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Alas, there is no place like home."

Lin Xiuqing poured out the bath water for him and came in to collect the dirty clothes. "There is no other way to make money, but fortunately I am done with my work."

"Yes, I am done. I have been busy from the 15th day of the first lunar month to the 30th day of the last lunar month."

Ye Yaodong picked up the watch he had just taken off the bedside table and took a look. "Oh, that's not rigorous enough. There's still half an hour until New Year's Eve."

"It will be fine once you are done with your work."

"When will these three kids grow up? Damn it, I'm so tired. I had kids too late. I should have gotten married when I was 17 or 18."

"Then the wife is probably not me, nor are there these three people at home. It may be a woman of the same age in the village."

"That's right. Don't bother yourself. You can pack up the things you brought back tomorrow. It's already late at night. We have to get up early tomorrow morning to kill chickens and ducks for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Well, I'll just take out your dirty clothes and shoes and wash them tomorrow."

"The old lady's birthday is scheduled for the fifth day of the first lunar month?"

He had been busy outside, and this is what A Qing told him on the phone when he called back. It was scheduled for the fifth day of the New Year.

"Yes, we have already arranged to rent tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks, and so on. We will move them here one day in advance. Dad and uncles have also contacted the chef to finalize the menu. We will reserve seafood and meat in advance and just drive the tractor to bring them back that morning."

"I'm going to the city in a couple of days, so I'll order a few big cakes in advance and have someone pick them up on the same day."

"You want more cake?"

"Of course. Anyway, children like to eat it, and you like to eat it too. The old lady hasn't eaten it yet. It's soft and sweet, and it's suitable for the elderly."

"Okay, you decide. Ask who's still in the city tomorrow and make an early reservation. Otherwise, they may not be open on the fifth day of the New Year."

"Well, have you posted anything yet?"

"They have all been distributed. The ones for relatives and friends have all been sent. I've also given them to Hong Wenle and my godfather in the city. Do you think there's anyone else you want to notify?"

Lin Xiuqing simply tidied herself up and lay down again.

The couple have been busy with their own things these days, and Ye Yaodong is not at home, so the two of them still have a lot to talk about.

The two of them chatted first and checked together the people they wanted to invite, only feeling relieved when they were sure that no one was missed.

Even with their conservative calculation, there would be dozens of tables, and if you include neighbors and friends, there would be hundreds of tables.

After all, the old lady is 88 years old and has many children and grandchildren.

Ye’s father’s generation included three brothers, a wife, and a sister, so there were a lot of relatives.

Ye Yaodong's generation has even more cousins, at least a dozen, and the number of cousins' next generation is even more astonishing.

The old lady has many great-great-grandchildren, but she doesn’t recognize them even if they are not around. At most, she knows a few great-grandchildren.

Most of them only know their grandchildren, and when someone tells them about it, they have to say which grandson's son or daughter, which grandson's grandson...

It is not an exaggeration at all. People used to get married early. The old lady was 88 years old and had five generations of children.

Father Ye is the youngest, and his eldest grandson, Ye Chenghai, is only 20 years old. But if he had married earlier, Father Ye would have had a great-grandson by now.

If the old lady celebrates her birthday, some of her friends with whom she has connections will definitely be there. At the very least, most of the village will come.

She was a little confused by Ye Yaodong's calculations.

"Then there must be at least fifty or sixty tables?"

"Of course, there must be more than 60 tables. This is the total number. Dad said that he would pay for the old lady's birthday celebration, and we don't have to pay. He and the eldest and second uncles will share the cost according to their respective relatives. The number of tables will be allocated according to the actual situation and the proportion will be shared. Favors will be collected by each of them. Common relatives will be brought into the public account, and an accountant will be hired to collect favors and keep accounts."

"Didn't I say I would do it? Are the eldest uncle and the second uncle willing to pay for it?"

"Yes, of course. After all, you can earn some money by doing favors. You may even make some money after deducting expenses. Besides, your cousins ​​and their husbands have made a lot of money by following you in the past few years. It's not stressful to just share a little. Besides, we all said we want to hold a birthday party for the old lady. How dare they say no?"

"That's true."

Ye Yaodong was satisfied.

"So when Dad said it, they agreed. It was a rare harmony, with no disagreements."

"Forget it then. I've been away from home for a while and don't have time to take care of it. I'll let Dad and the others do it. Since we've already discussed it, let's do it this way. When the next 100th birthday comes, we'll pay for the old lady's birthday ourselves."

"also."

As the saying goes, it's easier to get things done if you have money on hand. Lin Xiuqing responded without any hesitation. This is the confidence given by money.

"There are more than 60 tables, and the cakes..."

"It's enough to order three or four big ones. How can a restaurant with more than 60 of them do that? Just order some for the main tables."

"Okay then, let's ask who is still in the city tomorrow and see how many we can do."

"Acai seems to be in the city. I heard today that he will be back tomorrow."

"Then ask his wife tomorrow and give him a call to ask her to help run some errands."

"Ah."

"Is there anything else going on at home these days?"

"What happened? Dad hid a ring secretly and the twins found out, and then mom beat him up, right?" Lin Xiuqing found this funny and told him the story with a smile.

"Your daughter whispered to the wolfhound and Xiaoyu heard it. Then Xiaoyu waited for her father to come over and asked for it. He gave it to her. Then, during the meal, the twins also came over to ask for it. The whole family happened to be having a meal... Hehe..."

Ye Yaodong also laughed. He could imagine his father being speechless at the dinner table.

"Dad explained that you bought him one before the New Year as a reward for his hard work this year, but when he came back, he forgot where he put it on the boat and couldn't find it, so he didn't dare tell her and asked the children to keep it a secret."

"It happened the day after you left. Mom glared at Dad a few times right there. If we weren't there, we would have probably hit him."

"After Dad explained to Mom, he saw that the twins kept pulling at his clothes, so he had to pay to calm the twins down and let them go out to play."

"After dinner, Mom asked Dad to go look for it on the boat. If he couldn't find it, he was not allowed to come back."

Ye Yaodong complained, "My mother is too strict, isn't she?"

"Men become bad when they have money! What's more, people like you are out all year round, how can we not keep a close eye on them? With money in their pockets, they will go to those shady places. Don't think that we know nothing just because we are at home."

"It's unfair. Others are others. Dad and I are innocent."

"Mom is just in case! Old Pei was able to raise his son, so it's even harder for you guys who are out there every day, and you have money in your pockets. Mom said that men with money will think about having more children."

I can't refute one point, what should I do...

"Well... we can't generalize."

"It's just that I can't go with you, otherwise I would have to go with Huimei and watch over it. It just so happens that she can go with you next year and help a little."

"That's good. If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Old Pei is still not honest at his age, and Ah Guang is definitely not honest either. It's only because I'm watching him from above that he behaves well and doesn't do anything out of line. It's better to let Huimei go over and watch over him next year."

I would rather die than let my friend die. Pull him out to block it first.

"Bah, you're still looking at him, maybe you're in cahoots with him."

"How is that possible? I live with my father and I am busy all day long. You can see it if you stay there for a few days. I am busy until midnight every day and I can't even get a few hours of sleep."

"Yes, so I believe you. But what my mother said is also right, men with money just want to have more children..."

"Don't listen to her. She gossips with a bunch of gossipy women every day. They make up all the lies. Don't let them lead you astray. Go to bed quickly."

Not only did his mother not help him pacify the rear, but she also talked about all these nonsense and led his wife astray.

It's all his father's fault. He spoiled his mother. The husband has lost his authority and has listened to his mother in everything for decades.

"Why are you sleeping? You haven't even finished your sentence..."

"You want to have more children, right? Then have more..."

Ye Yaodong turned over and pressed on him. He was no longer dozing off and was ready to prove himself with his own actions.

"Why would I give birth to me..."

"You can still have children even after having a vasectomy. Just get a vasectomy and you'll have five, six, seven or eight more children. Your stomach won't be empty. You can rest assured when you reach menopause..."

Lin Xiuqing was amused by his nonsense. "If the baby is really born, he will be fined or even sentenced to death."

"That's fine. I just have the motivation to make money and contribute to the country. It would be best if I could have a football team and play football outside of Asia."

"Stop it……"

"Who is arguing with you? I'm serious. You've already said that men with money want to have more children. So I'll let you have more children until menopause. Then you'll know that my heart is with you."

"Haha, are you going to make me laugh to death?"

"What are you laughing at? I'm just fulfilling your wish."

"My mother said that, not me."

"I think you think so too. It's all my father's fault for being unreliable. How many other people can give birth..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't stop laughing.

In the end, the matter was forgotten and she didn't talk about it again and again. Otherwise, if she was really asked to have more children, how would she do it?

This is an extra chapter. There will be another chapter updated daily before 12 o'clock in the evening.
