Return to the small fishing village of 1982

After confirming that he had borrowed the boat, Ye Yaodong felt relieved and walked home leisurely. But halfway through, he remembered that the house would start construction tomorrow, so he changed direction and walked towards the homestead.

Today it was his second brother's turn to go to sea with his father. His eldest brother stayed at home. After dinner early in the morning, he said he was going to pick up loess from the mountains. He didn't know how many loads he had picked up. It was really a bit embarrassing to say that...

There is a reason why people's lives are getting better and better. Hard work leads to wealth. However, there was a rare tide today on the first day of the new year, and he had already borrowed a boat. He could only make his elder brother work harder.

Thinking of this, he couldn't stand up leisurely and quickened his pace.

When we arrived at the homestead, there were half a person's height of loess piled around, but there was no sign of his eldest brother. There was only a large pot of tea placed under a shady tree nearby. He was probably picking up soil again, so he leaned against the tree. , I thought I would help him after a while.

When he came back from rebirth, his mentality had already been set in a straight line.

After only waiting for a few minutes, he saw his elder brother pushing a two-wheeled gray truck over.

"Brother!"

Ye Yaopeng looked up and smiled, "Why are you here?"

"Come and take a look. Work won't start until tomorrow. Why are you doing the loess so early?"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and took another sip of tea before saying: "I didn't go to sea today, and there's nothing to do at home. I just want to go get some more loess and bring it back. I'll need it anyway." Yes, if we start construction on this homestead tomorrow, it won’t be considered as starting construction in advance.”

"You have to hire someone to do the work anyway, so just do something easier yourself."

"This is an easy job. When the work starts tomorrow, the workers who do the rough work will have to dig holes, go to the mountain to chisel stones, and then carry the stones down the mountain for the masters to chip them flat. Carrying out the loess is already easy."

Ye Yaodong frowned and nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the mountain with you and help you."

Ye Yaopeng looked at him unexpectedly, "You want to help?"

"You don't want my help?"

I was depressed and wanted to do something to help, but everyone was so surprised.

"Haha, okay, then follow me up the mountain to help swing the hoe. Today we can push a few more carts." It was rare for the third child to take the initiative to ask for help with work, how could he push out.

"I'll just work for a while and go back at ten o'clock. I have something else to do in the afternoon."

Ye Yaopeng smiled awkwardly. It turned out that he was overthinking it. The third child just came here to take a look. It was already 8 o'clock. He didn't want to work seriously, so he just said, why did he change his gender?

But being able to come over and help a little means that he is relieved about building a house. It is better than not seeing anyone all day long. At night, I heard from his wife that the third child has been helping out these days. We have been fishing together, and we have made some progress.

"Okay, then you come and help me. When the house construction starts tomorrow, don't run around anymore. Tomorrow it's my turn to go to sea with dad. Only the second one is an adult man at home, and mom and the others have to help the workers." I’m sure I’ll be too busy cooking.”

"I know."

Ye Yaodong didn't know what his elder brother was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't rest assured, because this was the effect he wanted, and a person's change should not be too big or too sudden.

After Ye Yaopeng poured out all the dirt from the gray bucket, he took the initiative to take over the handlebar, "I'll push it, and you will lead the way."

"good."

Although the gravel dirt road is not easy to push, the ash bucket is empty, so it is quite easy to push. In the past few years, when everyone built houses, they used their shoulders to carry loess and stones from the mountains one by one.

There is no need to spend money on these materials, as long as the manpower is needed to pick them up from the mountain.

At this time, no cement was used to build houses. The loess from the mountains was mixed with sand, and then spread on the stones and piled up to dry. Not many bricks were used. After all, everyone thought that stones did not cost money, and the houses built were not expensive. firm.

In the case of a building, bricks are only used on the second floor, because the stones are too heavy and too high to stack, so it would be easier if there were no bricks.

In fact, comparing the two, there is no difference in price. Although bricks cost money to buy, stones also need to be moved by people, and the labor of the master who excavated them is more expensive.

Although it was the morning sun, it was still fierce. After just walking for a short distance, Ye Yaodong was already sweating profusely.

Ye Yaopeng picked up the hoe as soon as he reached his destination, "I happened to bring two dustpans with me. I'll hoe them, and when they're full, you can dump them into the ash bucket."

"good!"

When one of the two dustpans was full, Ye Yaodong lifted it up and poured it out. The other Ye Yaopeng continued to fill it. The two of them worked together, and the speed was indeed faster than that of one person before.

After a while, a ash bucket truck was filled.

"I'll push it back. Can you hoe a little more loess and prepare it? You won't waste time walking around. Just push it by yourself."

Ye Yaopeng nodded, "Okay, let's take turns. I'll push the next one."

"Um."

He actually didn't mind if he was asked to push. Anyway, he went back after working for an hour or two and couldn't push a few times. But what he didn't expect was that he actually overturned...

After pushing out for a short distance, a stone tripped the tire at the corner. As a result, he lost control of his balance and rolled over...

Ye Yaopeng saw it and came over. He looked at him with a frown and patted his shoulder, "It's okay. Just put it back on. This road is not good to begin with. If you push it a few more times, it won't tip over."

Ye Yaodong was really a little depressed. He had never pushed this car before, so he could only comfort himself in this way.

"Fortunately, you saw it. If dad saw it, he would probably scold me again."

"If you help with the work more diligently, dad won't scold you. Just put the soil back first."

He curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, how diligent are his eldest and second brothers?" Even if you don't do your job well, you will still be scolded!

After loading it, Ye Yaopeng didn't let him push it anymore, so as not to dump it again, "I'll push it, and you go hoe more loess."

"Fine."

If he fails more than succeeds, he is better at chasing the sea!

After helping out on the mountain for a while, it seemed that the time was about the same, so he took a step back.

After wielding the hoe for so long, he was already hungry. He hurried back to eat something to fill his stomach and prepare some tools for fishing.

Seeing him sweating profusely and coming back with a red face, Lin Xiuqing asked curiously, "Didn't you go borrow a boat? Why did you look like you were going to work? You looked like you were fished out of the water."

"I just went to work. It was still early when I came out of Aguang's house, so I went to help my elder brother."

Everyone looked at him in surprise. He actually took the initiative to help transport loess?

real or fake?

Seeing everyone's doubtful looks, Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Don't I own the house? If I don't help with some work, dad won't break my legs?"

That's true!

Father Ye has been out at sea these days, otherwise the sound of Father Ye scolding Ye Yaodong would be heard at home every day.
