Ye Yaodong on the table was still eating and talking.
"Those children are not young anymore. Ah Hai is 13, and there are only one or two years behind each other in a series. They are all taller than the stove. Is it okay to cook by yourself? Such a big person Well, do you still need someone to take care of you? Poor people’s children are already in charge of the family, so whose children...before ten years old, they will move a stool and stand on it to cook..."
"How can it be the same? They are all in school in a row, and they have to cook by themselves when they come back from school. Let alone whether they look good or not, will it be, when will the cooking be finished? Don't burn the house down. .”
Besides, there is no adult, and she is an aunt, so she has to go and look after her more? Otherwise, I can't justify it. This made the children struggle on their own, and they still needed her help in the end.
This kind of thankless thing is likely to be long-term, and she doesn't want to accept it.
"Give it to grandpa and grandma. It's so close, but not too far away." Father Ye summed up and immediately changed the subject, "Hurry up and eat, and go to your brother Asheng by bike after eating, Out to sea around 5am."
Mother Ye turned her head and asked, "It's so late?"
“It’s just collecting sticky nets, and I don’t have trawl nets. I put longlines. Now there are only more than 40 nets. It’s okay to go out later. I can collect them all in one day, and I can sleep more if I go out later.”
"Then you can come back early if you go early, so you can spend more time killing fish, so you don't have to kill fish in the dark every day."
The old lady interrupted, "It doesn't matter if you kill the fish a little later. If you don't go to bed and get up early every night, people will not be able to stand it after a long time."
"The lights are turned on so late every day, so don't you have to pay for electricity. This is a lot of money for electricity every month."
"Okay, there's nothing to say here. I didn't ask you to pay the electricity bill. I was worrying about it every day. I quickly washed the two dishes and went to the next door to help kill the fish. I'm still talking here."
Father Ye stood up and muttered, put the bowl in the pot for Mother Ye to wash together, and urged her to work more and talk less.
"If you want me to do the work, don't let me talk..."
"What you said doesn't make sense. If it makes sense, who would think you are long-winded? Don't **** up your ears and listen carefully."
Mother Ye glared at him, washed the bowl casually and put it on the stove, grabbed the apron with her wet hands, and went out with the cutting board and the kitchen knife.
"I'm just a worker..."
"Who isn't a worker?" Father Ye muttered something before hearing her leave, and followed her to answer.
Ye Yaodong also answered, "What are you doing?"
Everyone on the table looked at him inexplicably.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"Kids, don't be so curious. Hurry up and feed me to do my homework. You have to take two 100-point exams, and you dawdled for a long time without eating a bite."
"It's just one mouthful, so much rice..." He muttered, then poked his neck and said proudly, "Also, I've already finished my homework!"
"Have you memorized that book?"
"The teacher didn't say memorize."
"Then your mother doesn't tell you to eat, so you don't have to eat? You don't memorize too much? Why are you pretending to be aggressive in school? Think about it, if the teacher reads a sentence casually during class, you can pick it up underneath." And you got it right, all the classmates look at you with admiration, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
Ye Chenghu blinked and looked at him, thinking about it, it seemed quite reasonable, but, "It's useless to memorize it, everyone must think that I read it from the book, so they won't look at it with admiration." Me, I don't want to carry it on my back."
As soon as he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, he ran away immediately.
Lin Xiuqing looked at Ye Yaodong amusedly, "How can it be so easy to lie? They are so big, and they are not idiots. If you just say a few words casually, you will believe it."
"Stinky boy, with this kind of virtue, if you can score 100 points in two exams, the sun will come out from the west."
Ye Chengyang watched Ye Chenghu run away, and he was so anxious that he grabbed the eating spoon and pulled it quickly, then threw it quickly, and hurried after him.
The two brothers are inseparable from Meng, and Meng is not separated from Jiao. When they are in good times, they are like one person.
After dinner, Ye Yaodong also went to the next door to watch the two sister-in-laws killing fish, and then walked to a few neighboring houses, where the women of the next houses were also enthusiastically killing fish. It sounds quite lively, even in the cold weather, the enthusiasm is not diminished.
It was only when he got closer that he heard it. It turned out that they were talking about the sea monster donated years ago as a reward for the village committee to send it over belatedly today.
Let’s not talk about what the rewards are, the efficiency alone has made everyone dissatisfied, and everyone complained and condemned there.
Almost two months!
The reason given is that it hits the Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of things, so I have been under pressure without approval. It was delivered to the door in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, the sisters-in-law of the Zhou family had already complained, and now the women gathered together to kill fish and chat, and they started talking again, cursing again.
"It's only 50 yuan and a piece of paper. I don't know what's written on it. I don't even want to give it a flag. I'm convinced that it can take two months for this little thing."
"It would be nice if I could give it back. After so long, I thought it was gone, and I donated it for nothing."
"Anyway, there is still 50 yuan, you can still share a share, be content, otherwise you don't even want to give away that ugly thing, and it will be a waste of work and fuss."
"It's good to have something in hand..."
Ye Yaodong stood aside, listened to their discussion, and then touched his chin, thinking, what he got back then was actually a lot?
There are glorious pennants, as well as county subsidies, village subsidies, and bits and pieces that beat them by several blocks, although the things he handed in are unusual.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a lot more at ease. Although the value of the things compared with the tripod was one sky high, it was not enough to compare with the top, and it was more than the bottom. Mazu also benefited.
If the Mazu Temple next to it hadn’t been closed for almost a month due to the rain during the Chinese New Year, it would probably have been completed by now.
I heard that after the new year, I have been optimistic about the day of the beam-up. It is the day of the birthday, and that day is also a good day for the beam-up. When the time comes, I will open a hundred tables.
The village is already making preparations. I heard that the theater troupe has been invited in advance, and it is said that they will sing for seven days and seven nights to celebrate.
Ye Yaodong listened for a while, and felt that he hadn't heard any useful information, so he turned to the second uncle's house to find Brother Asheng.
The whole family lives together, but they are separated in name, and they have no money to build their own houses, so they are still crowded together.
Except for his own family, he is very indifferent to other relatives. He has never been close in his previous life, and he can't be affectionate. Moreover, the second uncle is not very cold, except for normal human exchanges. He didn't even say hello.
Unexpectedly, the first time he went to their house after rebirth, he was warmly welcomed by his second uncle.
He had just sat down at brother A Sheng's house, but his second uncle hurried out with his clothes still on, and was still wearing a padded jacket when he came to him.
"You're a busy person right now, why do you still have time to come here so late? It's cold, and it's even colder at night. If you have something to say during the day, it's not good if you walk back and forth at night and catch a cold, so you have to delay it." You make money."
The smiling and enthusiastic tone almost made him think that he had a good relationship with his second uncle's family.
Sure enough, the **** is still old and spicy!
"No, I just came back from going out to sea, and I came over after a meal. I want to ask Brother Asheng to go to sea together at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay, he must be free, and he will definitely go with you."
Ye Yaosheng looked at Uncle Ye helplessly, "I have already agreed to go to the Wang family to help build the pigsty tomorrow..."
Uncle Ye turned his head and glared at him, "The Wang family has no man left? You still need to go to work? How many people are needed to build a pigsty? Can't they do it by themselves? What's your relationship? It’s better to work harder and save some money, let Dongzi pull you out, do you still need to wait to marry that woman from the Wang family?”
"That family has a lot of troubles. They shouldn't have agreed at the time, and they couldn't have a son? At that time, they were coaxed by the matchmaker. Why would they be able to have a son in the future...
"Tomorrow, I will ask the person I introduced before to come to the door and explain clearly to them, and don't use any tricks. We don't believe this. Marrying a widow is better than marrying that woman. This person hasn't married yet, and you spend all your money. A bunch of them, this is to **** your blood, you can't be taken advantage of by this..."
"It's good and I regret it..."
"What's the matter with repenting? We're not engaged or married, and we can still divorce after we get married..."
Ye Yaodong sat there, frowning and forced to listen to the father and son talking there. He came to invite people, not to listen to them talk about his parents.
"Hey, wait a minute, isn't brother Asheng free tomorrow? If not, then I'll call someone else."
"If you are free, I must go with you. It's rare that you think about his brother and want to pull him away. He must first pay close attention to you." He turned his head and gave Ye Yaosheng another look.
Ye Yaosheng thought about it and finally agreed, "I will definitely go there on time tomorrow."
Uncle Ye is satisfied, "That's right, Dongzi is a big money earner now, he has a lot of work and a lot of work, and his brothers in the family can't help him. Your cousins are also brothers and relatives. We are still connected to each other." Muscles, help more when it’s time to help.”
Ye Yaosheng nodded.
Ye Yaodong also couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. His second uncle was really good at making small calculations, but it's a pity that he was too old and illiterate.
Uncle Ye continued to smile at him and said, "Your Brother Asheng is too honest, and his life has not been going well in recent years. With you thinking about him, he will have a better life in the future, so we won't let us get old I'm still worrying about it..."
"In the future, if I can earn more money, marry a daughter-in-law and come back with peace of mind, and give birth to a big fat boy, I can rest in peace when I die, and now I worry about him. This person's life is not easy. After so long, he There is no woman in the family who can be recruited..."
Er Bo Ye caught him chattering away, hearing Ye Yaodong's head getting dizzy.
Why does this person have no sense of boundaries? He was quite forgetful, and the unpleasant things had probably already been deleted from his mind.
Ye Yaodong stood up straight away, and didn't listen to his ramblings. He didn't come to find his wife, he came to hire someone to work, so he did what he should.
Ye Yaosheng saw him and knew that he was a little impatient with the nagging, so he quickly pulled away his father who still wanted to talk.
"Since it's been decided, I'll go back first. I still have something to do at home. Brother Asheng, just remember to come here on time tomorrow."
Ye Yaosheng nodded, "Okay, I will go there on time tomorrow morning. It's getting dark outside, so you should go back early. Do you have a flashlight? I'll take one here..."
"I have a belt, I'll go first."
Ye Yaodong stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and turned on the flashlight in his hand.
It was cold, and he shrank his hands into his sleeves. Only the light of the flashlight was exposed through the sleeves, illuminating the road one or two meters ahead.
I really don’t want to code words, but I have to do it for my life. There is a chapter that I don’t know how long it takes
