Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1088 The glory comes back
Lin Xiuqing knew that Ye's mother would be back tomorrow, so while eating, she asked Ye's father if she wanted her to go to his place and help him clean the house.

Father Ye waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he would clean up a bit, and let Mother Ye clean the rest herself when she came back tomorrow.

Lin Xiuqing didn't force it. It would be easier for her if she didn't need her.

After dinner, everyone sat at the door to enjoy the cool air. In the hot summer, everyone had to go outside to cool off before going back to the house to sleep. Inevitably, everyone talked about what happened today.

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye were both cursing and saying that the cousins ​​were immoral.

Everyone kept silent, but the old lady interrupted their chatter.

"We've already discussed it, why bring it up again? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"What a joke! We originally thought that we were all family, and they came to us every day to ask us to help them and let them earn a little money. Who knew that they would just yell out and force all the money from their aunts and uncles on us..."

Several loud voices were shouting there, repeating what happened in the morning.

Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and rested, just enjoying the cool air. When sleepiness came, he went back to his room and went to sleep.

The next morning, I was still woken up by a group of chattering sounds.

Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised to find in the morning that one of the two pregnant dogs had already given birth. She immediately called for all the children in the family to come and see.

"The dog has given birth, come and see."

When they heard this, they all ran as fast as if they had Hot Wheels on their feet. They were extremely excited. Even the people next door heard it and ran over.

In the past, my ears were not so sharp. I had to shout for my life to get people to come back for dinner.

"Where? Where?"

"Where is it, is it born?"

"Is it born? Is it born? Let me see, let me see..."

They all crowded in front of the doghouse, stretched their heads out, and showed special concern, as if they were going to be fathers themselves.

"Wow... so many puppies..."

"They are so small, their eyes are not even open..."

"I saw them, they were feeding, they were so small..."

"Can I touch it? Can I grab it?"

Lin Xiuqing quickly slapped away the little hands that stretched forward, "No, they were just born last night, don't touch them, feed them first."

"I squeezed two more to feed on..."

"One, two, three, four, five, six... there are six of them, all of them are drinking milk. Puppies have so many puppies..."

"Is there another one that hasn't been born yet?"

"Not yet, but it will probably be soon."

"Chenghu, your house has become a doghouse. It's full of dogs."

"That's great! When I go out, all the dogs will surround me. Who dares to disobey me?"

Ye Yaodong heard this sentence when he came out after hearing the noise. He reached out and flicked his son's head, "Others are dogs relying on the power of others, but you are a man relying on the power of a dog. Look at what you have become."

"Dad, it's really awesome. When I go out and give an order, all the dogs will follow me. How awesome! They are my dog ​​army."

Ye Chenghe was extremely envious. "I also want so many dogs. It's so impressive just thinking about it, but I only have a large army of chickens and ducks at home."

"Not only that, you also have pigs at home."

"No, your dog is still the best."

"Let's send a few away tomorrow. There are too many." Lin Xiuqing said to Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong nodded and said, "Many people ask me for it. I will give it away after raising it for a month."

"No, these are all ours, we can't give them to others."

"Six puppies were born at once, and there is still one that has not been born yet, which makes a total of more than ten puppies. There are already seven puppies at home. Do you run a pet park? They are all dogs."

"No, just keep it."

"They will give birth to more cubs in the future. By then, there will be hundreds of them for you to raise?"

Ye Chenghu felt a little sad. He supported his chin with both hands, squatted there and stared at the newborn puppies without blinking.

Ye Chengyang didn't care. He already had three lambs, so it didn't matter if he didn't have a dog.

The children were reluctant to move all morning. Even if they ran out to play for a while, they would come back soon and continue to look after the puppies.

By the way, they also wanted to wait and see the other cub give birth, but they didn't get to see this one, so they felt particularly regretful.

The adults at home had no time to take care of them because A Guang and the others came back at noon.

The news spread throughout the village that a car had brought them back. It was so impressive. Everyone was running around telling each other. Some people even saw the car with their own eyes and were particularly excited.

Ye Yaodong and his friends only realized they had arrived home when they heard people talking about the car at the door.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the Pei family is very rich now and can even afford a car..."

"Of course they are rich. Look at how many boats they have now. What's the big deal about hiring a car? Maybe they can even afford one."

"Is this true? That car costs tens of thousands. If you say A-Dong can afford it, I believe that the old Pei family can afford it, too?"

"That's hard to say. Didn't you see their two boats taking turns to come back one after another, as if they were competing? It seems that the old Pei family is only a little bit worse than the Adong family, but there are few people in the whole village who can compare with them."

"It's not just the whole village. There are not many people in the surrounding area who can compare to him. He can even be compared to others in the town."

"You've been talking for so long, what does that car look like? Oh, what a pity, we were far away and couldn't see it. How long had it been parked at the door?"

"I don't know. I heard that when the car stopped at the door, there was a commotion around. Everyone surrounded the car and looked at it for a long time. All the children in the village gathered there and almost didn't let the car go."

"Yes, yes. I heard that they surrounded the car for half an hour and scared the boss to death. It was only after Old Pei's family drove away all the people who were surrounding the car that the car was able to leave."

"What a pity! We didn't see it. We were standing by the road for half an hour, and we didn't even know about it?"

"I heard it's red, so festive and beautiful, prettier than tractors and motorcycles. Besides, it's not exposed to the wind or rain, so it's very comfortable to live in."

"Their family was really willing to spend a lot of money and even hired a car to bring the person back..."

"That's not right. Twin sons are great contributors to the Pei family. Two of them at once, they must be worshipped like Buddhas. What's the point of hiring a car to send them back? I just don't know how much it will cost."

Lin Xiuqing was called out by Ye Yaodong, who had been sitting idly at the door, and only then did she hear what everyone was saying.

She quickly pulled him aside and asked, "How long have you been back? I was cooking at home and didn't hear what you said."

"I just came back, and the car just left. I was also picking some fruits in the roadside vegetable garden when I saw it. I almost drooled. Such a nice car, so fashionable. There is a group of people gathered in front of their house and talking. If you don't mind the heat, you can go over. I just came back, and the meal at home is not cooked yet..."

"Okay, okay..."

Lin Xiuqing turned around and pulled Ye Yaodong, "The rice is still cooking in the pot, I can't leave... Oh... No, you can leave it to the old lady first, let's go over first."

"Everyone is back, let's go check on them first."

"If you want to go now, then go now. Otherwise, it won't be too late to go later, after they are settled and packed. We just got home, and I guess there are a lot of things to pack. After all, we have lived outside for several months, and there must be a lot of things, big and small."

"Then we can go there earlier to help clean up. After all, the one at home is the stepmother-in-law, not the biological mother-in-law. It's only right for our own family to go there and help more. Besides, Huimei hasn't seen her daughter for a few months, so she must miss her too. We have to send her there quickly."

"Okay, what you said makes sense."

After picking Pei Yu up yesterday evening, the two little girls hugged each other tightly and were reluctant to separate even when sleeping last night. I decided to stay with them, so I am still playing at their house today.

Now when the couple goes there, they must bring both of them together. They just hold one in each hand and even hold an umbrella.

Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye also handed the food in the pot to the children to look after. They followed the two of them and planned to go over together to take a look first.

Two people were walking beside him and talking non-stop.

"I saw a car in the city before, but I didn't expect Huimei to get in it right away."

"A Guang loves his wife so much that he is willing to spend the money. If it were an ordinary person, at most he would hire a tractor to bring it back. For those who are unwilling to spend money or have no money, they can just push it back on a cart."

"That's right, Huimei is still lucky..."

"I'm really lucky. I came back in such glory..."

When we arrived at A Guang's house, there were still a lot of people standing there, talking and discussing the car.

In recent years, there are a lot more tractors everywhere, and no one is interested in them anymore. Trucks and Jiefang vehicles can be seen occasionally, but cars are really rare in their rural area.

It was the first time for everyone to see it, and they were all very excited.

"It's really beautiful. If I could sit on it once, I would brag about it for the rest of my life."

"I just touched it and knocked on it. The car is really nice and beautiful. It is way better than the tractor. The big Jiefang looks big, but it is not pretty at all. The car is still the best looking and looks very fashionable."

"It's different when you have twin boys. You're willing to give up everything. How much will it cost to hire a car from the city to take them back?"

"It's definitely not cheap. The bus fare from the county to the city is more than one yuan, not to mention our remote countryside."

"That boss is really brave. He dares to drive a car to our countryside alone. He is not afraid of not being able to return..."

"Come on, those robbers on the road are just uneducated young men. How dare they get into a car? I've never seen anything like it in my life."

"If we talk about having a good life, it's not just Huimei. Lifang has suffered for half her life, but she didn't expect to fall into a lucky nest at her age, and to be a couple with Old Pei..."

"Who said it wasn't? Living close to each other has its advantages. Who doesn't know that the Pei family is well-off? Wang Laoer even insisted on pushing his daughter over here. He really has good taste. Look at how rich they are now and they can even afford a car..."

A bunch of gossipy people were at the door, talking non-stop. No one was willing to go back. Some of them even stood at the door of Pei's house, chatting and looking inside.

Ye Yaodong and his wife had to ask others to make way for them before they could squeeze in through the door. Wow, there were quite a few people sitting inside. They were all related relatives of the two families. They were all noisy and chatting.

It turns out that the people outside are neighbors and the people inside are relatives.

Oh, his dad is here too.

When they entered the house, they just happened to see Ah Guang coming out of the room to chase people away. He had a smile on his face and spoke politely. He asked the noisy people sitting in the hall to leave first, leaving only the Ye family.

Then he spoke: "It's a mess, so noisy. I just got home and was busy sorting things out. How could I spare any time to deal with them? They were still sitting there talking."

When Ye's mother saw them, she quickly called them over, "Are you all here? I don't need your help here. My in-laws can also help. Please help me take my things back first."

"Let Dad take it back."

Father Ye was a little unhappy. "I just got here too. Wait a minute. Why are you in such a hurry? Put it in a corner first. Have you arranged everything in the house?"

"Okay, I just finished cleaning up and lay down. Now I have to organize their things. I'll go see if my mother-in-law has cooked the noodles. Huimei can't go hungry now." Although Ye's mother looked tired, she was smiling happily.

Lin Xiuqing followed her two sisters-in-law and took the two children into the room to show Huimei, while Ye Yaodong was talking to A Guang in the main room.

"How much does it cost for a taxi back?"

A Guang hooked his shoulder and walked to the back door to chat.

"It's so expensive. He refused to do it at first, saying it was too far and unsafe, and that it can only be done in the urban area. I had to raise the price to 380 yuan. After much persuasion, I gave him some more money and invited him to the village to check. Only after I confirmed that it was for the mother and the baby did he reluctantly agree."

"I'm afraid I'll go there alive but not come back alive."

"Isn't it? After all, it's from the city to our country. Normally, their taxis only run in the city. How could they go to such a far country? It's also because I gave him a lot of money, so he could secretly keep a part of it. Plus, I heard that his family just had a grandson, so he secretly gave me a ride."

"Isn't this 380 too expensive?"

"It costs 1 yuan per kilometer. He can pocket the extra money I give him. Otherwise, why would he make this trip? For those of them who receive a fixed salary, it's so comfortable to drive in the city. Why would they risk running in the countryside?"

Ye Yaodong was a little curious, "How much do they earn a month? Nowadays, all cars are imported, which is not cheap. Most people can't drive them, right?"

"The taxi driver who sent us back said he was a retired soldier. It's true that not everyone can drive a taxi. Taxi driver is the most popular profession. It's very glorious. There are only a few taxis in the whole city. It's because the city is a coastal city that we can try to put a few taxis in. I heard that their monthly salary is several thousand yuan, which is equivalent to the work of ordinary workers for decades. I was almost shocked."

"Almost. There are quite a few trucks doing transportation every month. Now they are taxis which are more glamorous. It's not just ordinary people who can afford taxis."

"Isn't it? Anyway, it's just this amount of money. Don't tell anyone. My father doesn't know how much he spent."

"No matter how much you spend, you will get in. A man who loves his wife will get rich."

"I was thinking that I would make a lot of money soon. If I don't make small money, big money will not come. Besides, it's for my wife and children. It's good to be back."

"When I earn enough money I will buy one myself."

Ah Guang turned his head and glanced at him, "You are the one?"

"you can also."

"I can't afford it. If you want to buy it, give it to me so I can enjoy it. And teach me how to drive it."

"If you can't afford it, then I can't afford it either."

"Come on, you can afford it now, no need to wait. If I buy it, I have no place to drive it, but if you buy it, it will be very useful, you can go to the city every few days."

"I have a motorcycle, which is enough for me. I also have a tractor for life, so the car is useless."

"Who said that? A car is protected from wind and rain. It's much better than your motorcycle, which is exposed to the wind and sun."

"Riding a motorcycle is cool, but if you're in a car you have to lean half of your body out so people know who you are. I don't have to do that. When I ride a motorcycle, I can have a bunch of people chasing after me and eating my exhaust."

Ah Guang said jokingly, "You know what, those people in the city who rarely take a taxi would actually lean half of their bodies out, wishing to let everyone see them."

"That's good. My mother will have something to talk about in the village for several months."

"Hahaha, don't say that. She must have been suffocated during these few days in the city. It was okay after Huimei gave birth, she still had things to do. Before Huimei gave birth, she sat at the door every day and sighed. She wanted to help in the store, but she didn't know how to do anything, and she couldn't speak Mandarin. She felt embarrassed in front of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Plus, she had nothing to do before she gave birth, so she could only sit at the door every day."

Ye Yaodong also laughed when listening to his description.

"Once you guys are settled, she probably won't be able to sit still anymore and will have to go back and chat with someone right away."

"It's okay. We are all home. Aunt Ma and my two sisters are here. They can take good care of Huimei and the three children. I am here too. Anyway, my family is not planning to go out to sea. There is a happy event at home. We will take a few days off and wait to go to Zhejiang Province. If you want to go out to sea, be careful and control your time to come back early."

"I won't go either. I have other things to do and don't have time. I'll just stay at home and wait for you to tell me when to leave."

"That's right. It seems you have to go to the city to visit the leaders and buy land or something."

"Ah."

"Let's go get some snacks first. They're already cooked. It looks like everyone else has finished eating. We're the only ones left."

There were already several empty bowls on the table, with only two bowls of hot spring eggs left intact. They were from my mother's family, and they came to visit, so I had to cook a bowl of snack for them, which contained several red dates and longans.

Ye Yaodong picked up the bowl and walked into the house, eating as he walked, "Go in and check on the child. I haven't seen him for a few days. Check to see if he has any white spots."

A Guang followed closely behind, "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

“Hahahahaha… You know, the old lady said yesterday that the nephew looks like his uncle, and asked if he looks like me?”

"What's so good about you, pretty boy?"

"It will give me a chance to work 30 years less. By the way, have you named the two children?"

"I've thought about it. Pei Zuo, Pei You, means to be with you."

"Good boy, you have some talent. This name is much better than yours."

Ah Guang sighed, "I have learned my lesson. My father is unreliable, so I cannot be unreliable. This name is so important, how can I just pick it casually? It has made me not want to eat Guangbing for decades."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing again.

"It's okay. All three names sound good now. One (Pei Yu) means nurturing, and the other two mean accompanying you."

The two of them walked into the house while talking. There were a lot of people sitting in the room. Some were holding children or teasing them. There was laughter and a lot of fun. Ye Huimei was also sitting on the bed eating noodles.

As soon as Ye's mother finished eating, she took over the bowl and chopsticks and said, "You've been running around all day. You just gave birth and can't sit. You have to lie down. There's no other way this morning. You've been sitting for most of the day. Now lie down and take a nap. We'll all leave and won't disturb you."

Aunt Ma immediately responded, "Yes, you have to lie down after giving birth. You are all tired after sitting in the car for half a day and need to rest. You should go home and rest first. You have been taking care of me for so many days and it has been hard. Now that you are back, let me take care of you."

"What's so hard about this? I have to take good care of my daughter, but now she really needs to have a good rest. While she's resting, I'll go home. I haven't been home for many days. I don't know if my house has become a doghouse. I have to go back to clean it up and take care of the chickens and ducks."

"Go ahead, I'll be watching here."

"Okay, okay. I'll trouble you, mother-in-law."

"No trouble, what's the trouble..."

The two old women were polite to each other, slowly moving from the house to the door.

And they followed him to the door. Anyway, they had already seen the people and the children. They had not eaten lunch yet, and the snacks they had just had were not enough to satisfy their hunger.

As soon as Ye's mother came out, she was particularly excited. "They say that a home is worse than any other place. This is so true. The village is still the best. No matter how you stay in the city, you will feel uncomfortable. It's hard to even find someone to talk to. Everyone is talking nonsense."

"I thought you were very happy to be able to go to the city to play. People in the village don't know how much they envy you for being able to go to the city to play and see the world."

"What is there to be envious of? The city is really not good at all. It is not as good as our village. Although the houses in the city are very tall, the roads are very clean, there are people everywhere, there are all kinds of things, and the streets are full of all kinds of cars..."

Mother Ye talked a lot and everyone couldn't help laughing.

He complained about the language barrier and the fact that he had no one to talk to and joke with, but he was still very excited and happy to talk about it.

"The villages in the city are no different from ours, they are all dirty and tattered. Only the city is beautiful, and everyone wears nice clothes in all kinds of colors. The women in the city even show their arms and legs, and the slits of their cheongsams are almost open to the neck. It's nothing like our countryside, which is all gray..."

Everyone started laughing as they listened to what Ye's mother said and gestured.

After entering the village, some villagers sat at the doorstep to enjoy the cool air after dinner, or weaved nets. When they saw Ye's mother coming back, they all took the initiative to greet her.

"Lixiang is back? Is the city fun?"

"I heard you came back in a car. It's so fancy. Is the car good to ride in? Is it comfortable?"

"I just didn't have time to see it, and it had already left. I heard that red is very fashionable, and the car is said to be imported, so it's very expensive..."

"Is the city full of cars?"

"Haha, I just came back. I just finished arranging things at my daughter's house and packed her things... The city is not fun at all... There are just a few more things, a few more people, and a few more cars..."

Ye's mother finally had a place to say what she had been holding back for months, and she also stopped to say hello.

This pause was quite a big deal, as it opened up new topics.

They looked at each other and went back home. By the time his mother finished chatting and walked home, they didn't know what time it was.

Ye's father was also very tactful and took Ye's mother's luggage back first, leaving the stage to her alone, allowing her to reminisce with others here first.

He also knew that she had been feeling suffocated because she hadn't found anyone to talk to for so many days, so now that she had returned in such a grand manner, she would definitely hang out in the village more.

Lin Xiuqing walked away and said, "I am sorry for what I have done. After so many days, I finally return home in glory."

Ye Yaodong held the child and pursed his lips without saying anything.

Sister Ye smiled and said, "Isn't it a return home in glory? Mother is the only one in the village who has ridden in a car, and she is the only one who has stayed in the city for so long. Our mother is now a person who has seen the world."

Mrs. Ye also said, "That's right. If it were me, I would also walk around the village more often and tell the villagers more about what's happening in the city."

"I'm so hungry. Let's go home first. We haven't even eaten yet."

"If you are in a hurry, just take the child back first."

Ye Yaodong was tall and had long legs. He walked with big strides while holding the child in his arms, and soon left them behind.

They also quickened their pace, although they continued talking.

The old lady had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to come back.

Seeing him come back with the child in his arms, I immediately went to meet him and asked him the first thing: "Have you seen the car? Is it fashionable?"

"No, we didn't see it. How could we see it when we went there? There's nothing good to see. If you like it, wait two years. I'll earn more money and buy one for you to ride."

"Haha, nonsense. Why should I ride in a car at my age? You have money to spend on yourself."

"It's okay. You will be able to sit on it. If you live a few more years, you will at least live to be a hundred years old. It will definitely happen. Maybe you can even live in a small villa."

"Okay, okay, I'll live a few more years and wait. You say such nice things to me every day, I must live a few more years to see. How is Huimei? How is the child? Has he grown up? Is he good-looking?"

"She's not pretty, but luckily she's not a girl, and luckily she's wealthy. Let's get ready for dinner. Ah Qing is coming home soon. Where are Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang?"

"I was afraid they were hungry and couldn't wait, so I let them eat earlier. Now they have gone back to play."

"You're having a good time, aren't you? They're like a dragon that's hard to find. Have the report cards been sent out yet? It's hard to meet them."

"Don't mind them, they're all monkeys."

　I wrote 17,000 words today. I'm so tired. I posted both chapters at the same time. I'll keep working hard tomorrow and write 10,000 words a day.
