Ye Huimei returns home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye are from the same village anyway. They only need to walk a few steps back to their parents' home without leaving food. They can go back anytime. Moreover, they are not newlyweds. They have been married for more than ten years. , it doesn’t matter.
It is the first year that the new son-in-law comes to visit the house to pay New Year greetings, and the old house must treat him well. The three of his wife went to the old house early in the morning to help cook.
The three brothers Ye Yaodong also went over to chat and play cards with A Guang early in the morning. The four of them happened to sit at the same table, but it was a pity that Ye's father had itchy hands and couldn't get in.
Later, Ye Yaohua quit and let his father take over, so that Ye's father could play a few cards. However, it was not long before he called it a day and had dinner, and Ye's father was a little reluctant to give up.
Fortunately, they continued in the afternoon, and Father Ye was satisfied with his hand addiction.
The happiest thing about the whole day was the children, all of whom were surrounding Ye Huimei.
Ye Huimei not only gave her parents cigarettes, wine, canned cakes, but also her three brothers' families. She also prepared an extra set of candies and red envelopes for the children, which made them all very happy.
The ones who opened and closed their mouths one by one were: My sister-in-law is so nice, my sister-in-law is great, my sister-in-law congratulations on getting rich, my sister-in-law...
Ye Huimei had a headache from their shouting, and she couldn't help but follow them and watch them, so as to save them money to buy firecrackers and fry cow dung.
Just after she came here today, she heard about their great achievements, and they were really good at playing.
"It's all Brother Ahai's fault. There are cow dung all over the new clothes. I was scolded by my mother yesterday."
"It's okay if I haven't peeled off your skin."
"You are talking nonsense. Yesterday, on the first day of the new year, my mother neither hit nor cursed anyone!"
Ye Chenghai rolled his eyes and said, "That's you. I had to stand for most of the day yesterday and my shoulders and back were sore. You guys are so happy and nothing happened."
"you deserve it!"
"I'll beat you up again."
"If you beat me, I'll tell my eldest aunt and ask her to beat you. She said she would keep the account for you first and save it up so that we can beat you together in a few days."
After saying a few words, a group of children started to quarrel, and no one cared about them anyway, as long as they didn't start fighting.
We spent the whole day eating and drinking lively in the old house. Before leaving, one person even brought a gift home.
On the morning of the third day of the lunar new year, after Ye Yaodong had a simple breakfast, he went to Secretary Chen's house with cans of cigarettes and alcohol, walking on a small road.
There is still no sun today. Most of the villagers have gone to visit relatives, or are playing cards and gambling in the house, or gathering around the small shops. No one is blowing the wind at the door. Apart from the children running wildly and playing and setting off firecrackers, there is really no one on the road. Who saw it.
When Ye Yaodong arrived at Secretary Chen's house, just as he was leaving, his wife asked her eldest grandson to go out to find someone and asked Ye Yaodong to sit down.
"Happy Chinese New Year. Why are you so polite? You came as soon as you came. Why did you get something? I'll cook you some snacks..."
It is their local custom that in the first month of the first month, those who come to visit with gifts and New Year greetings have to cook snacks to greet them.
Ye Yaodong stopped him quickly, "No, no, no, I just came out from breakfast. It's a waste to cook it. You don't have to work, and it's not anyone else. I'll just come and sit for a while and then leave..."
At this time, Secretary Chen was also called back by his eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, why do you remember that my family is celebrating the New Year?"
"Happy New Year. As you said, I don't have to rely on you much in the village. Of course I have to take advantage of the New Year to come and curry favor with you."
"Hahaha, so honest."
"Of course." Ye Yaodong looked at the little boy aside, dug into his pocket, took out two dollars, and handed it to him.
"Use the New Year's money to buy firecrackers."
The little boy didn't dare to take it and looked at Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen patted his head and said with a smile: "Keep it and use it to buy firecrackers. Uncle Ye made another fortune yesterday."
"Thank you, Uncle Ye."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Looking at his rosy face and looking healthy, drowning should have no effect on him."
"I just don't dare to go to the beach. Everything else is fine."
"It'll be fine when you grow up and get over it."
Secretary Chen points
Nodding, "I heard that the king squid you caught yesterday weighed about 400 pounds?"
"Yes, I sold it for 1,200, and each of the three brothers will share a little."
Everyone knows the weight, and he must know the price even if he doesn't tell me. Uncle Zhou must have mentioned it when he came back. There is no need to hide it. If it is divided between three people, it is not a lot.
"It just makes up for the losses of your eldest and second brother some time ago. Also, if you catch something rare next time, don't rush to send it away. Please inform me in advance. You can also find someone in the village to take pictures and deliver them to Maybe the newspaper company can get it into the newspaper and become famous.”
"Why do you always want to be famous?"
"When the village becomes famous, everyone's life becomes easier, and catching a big fish is also the honor of our village, isn't it?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, it also depends on luck. Not everyone can meet you."
Secretary Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Your prodigal son has good luck after his return, but the feng shui of your new house is better? You should have more neighbors in the next year."
Ye Yaodong became depressed when he talked about this, "Does anyone really want to be our neighbor?"
His wife was more than 6 months old, and her belly was already showing a little. She originally thought that since no one was going to the new house, she would be able to hide it, but this time she was caught off guard.
"Well, I'll approve it after the measurement is done after the year."
We can only use soldiers to cover up the water and earth.
"Oh, you are really discerning."
"There is little land in the village. In the past, people thought it was too close to the beach. They would rather squeeze in every opportunity in the village to find a piece of land. Now that you are prospering, many people have taken a fancy to that area. It's good to build more houses. , your place can be more lively."
He nodded casually. He really didn't want the excitement. With so many children at home, it was already lively enough.
"By the way, the village committee didn't make a note of me about the ten thousand-yuan household thing last time, right?"
"It doesn't matter, it's been exposed. It was Ye Yaohong's wife who ran into it herself, and the county also got some results by the way, so it didn't embarrass everyone."
"That's good."
I don’t know if Secretary Chen Zhouxuan helped me with the conversation. Anyway, it won’t hurt if I hold my thigh tightly. There are people in the court who can do things easily.
Ye Yaodong continued to chat with Secretary Chen for a few more words before leaving.
On the way back, he accidentally met his aunt's family.
His aunt was not available when they moved. This was the first time he saw his aunt in half a year, and she was called him. He was stunned for a moment before he realized who it was.
"Auntie, uncle, happy New Year. Have you just entered the village?"
"Just entered the village, where are you from, Dongzi?"
"After shopping around for a while, it's rare that my uncle didn't go on a big boat trip this year, and he was able to celebrate the New Year at home."
The eldest uncle is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a typical seaside face. His dark face is full of wind and frost, his white hair on his temples looks a bit old, and his lips look bruised and dry.
The smile on his face looked quite amiable.
"I just happened to be back on the evening of the 29th. I can still celebrate the Chinese New Year at home. I heard that you have already bought a big boat and are more successful than your two brothers. You are amazing. I heard that it has only been less than half a year..."
"Haha~ It's your luck, don't brag, I'll be proud."
"It's really amazing. Who can buy a boat of more than ten meters in half a year without relying on family members..."
"Who are you bragging about? My father and mother also helped me, otherwise I would still be eating at home and waiting to die."
"Hahaha~"
Aunt Ye smiled and said, "Old lady, who else could it be? I praised you so much last time."
