We were eating in a house on the street. My uncle's family came over, plus grandparents, Mr. Xuan and his father-in-law. More than a dozen people gathered around this big table and it was very lively.
My little sister came back in the morning, and then went back in the afternoon with more gifts than when she came. Although there was no output from the reservoir, I still felt a little uneasy after investing so much money and not watching from the side.
So Yang's mother was the one cooking, and then my aunt and Zhou Ya were helping. Cui's mother was also next to her. Grandma wanted to help but didn't let her move. In the room, Xuanzang held his grandson in his arms and smiled in the wrinkles on his face.
Now Yang Dongxu's grandparents are living a very prosperous life in the village. Apart from playing with their two acres of land, they spend most of their time at the pig farm to see if they can be of any help.
Then there was a stroll on the street. There were so many villagers and foreign merchants on the street, and no one refused to show respect to the two elders. Wherever I go, there are people greeting me with smiling faces, and I can’t help but feel bad.
After the meal is ready, the whole family gathers around the table to eat, which is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
After dinner, Yang Dongxu hugged the child and went back to sleep in the old house with Yang's mother looking reluctant, although they were not separated. But it was quieter to sleep in the old house. After all, their family lived in such a big house, and it was very quiet once the gate at the intersection was closed.
"While eating, I saw that my uncle and aunt still looked wrong. The matter of whether to buy a house has not been resolved yet?" Yang Dongxu went into the house and turned on the lights, and then Zhou Ya quickly walked into the house and closed the door again.
When lights are turned on in rural areas at night, doors and windows must be closed tightly, or doors and windows must be opened with curtains or screens, otherwise all kinds of insects will fly into the house soon. The greening in the old house is particularly good. If you don’t close the doors and windows, you will definitely get bitten by mosquitoes at night.
"I was frozen when I left. It seems that the knot in my heart has not been resolved yet. But it doesn't seem to be as serious as before. I will ask my mother again in two days." Zhou Ya carefully put the sleeping The son who was sitting was put down.
Such a big boy is the time to make trouble. He has to be carried around all day long, and he can only relax for a while when he falls asleep.
But fortunately, I had formed a habit before, so I didn't have to hold him to sleep, otherwise it would be more annoying.
"I think I have some free time. Why don't you suggest that I have another child, so that the two of you won't have time to have trouble." Yang Dongxu said half-jokingly.
In fact, this suggestion was not made casually by Yang Dongxu. Both Yang's mother and grandma had mentioned this matter before. In particular, grandmothers and elders always hope to have more children and more happiness when it comes to family reception.
Yang Dongxu had just gotten married and had a son, so he didn't push him too hard, but his uncle's family only had one boy, and his grandparents felt that it was a bit lacking.
But I don’t know if it was because when I had the child that I had to take care of him a lot in order to temper my brother-in-law’s temper, but now my grandparents disagree when they ask me to help him with the child. My aunt didn't seem to have any intention of doing so. She felt that having a child was fine.
After all, with Yang Dongxu as her cousin, no one in the village dared to bully her. Although she didn't want to compromise on the surface, in her heart, her son would definitely take over the family's property in the future. If a son didn't suffer, he would be able to share more of the family property.
It would be fine if she gave birth to a girl, and when she gets married, she can prepare a generous dowry. If there is another son and the two guys quarrel and Yang Dongxu gets upset and gives up, it will really be more gain than loss.
So the aunt feels that it is good to raise a son, and now that the son is older, although he is not very good in studies, he is pretty good in terms of discipline. He is a little clever and has no bad intentions. With the Yang family's wealth, they can live a stable life even if they have nothing to do. Live a small life.
"In two years, when Xiao Wenchen grows up, let him go to kindergarten in Yanjing or Shanghai. Then he will go back to the village to live during the winter and summer vacations." Zhou Yakai glanced at Yang Dongxu.
After becoming a mother, she naturally wants the best for her children. Of course, there is another reason why she said this. As a queen who had fought against international financial groups, Zhou Ya obviously saw clearly her aunt's petty thoughts but didn't say anything about them.
And sometimes what scares the most about anything is comparison. Even if she tries to be impartial, as a mother, she must be better to her children.
To outsiders, this seems to be a matter of course, but at home there are some bumps and bruises. Especially since my family is much more capable than my uncle's family, sometimes an ordinary decision at home may make my aunt think too much.
It would be different after leaving the village. Out of sight, out of mind, without comparison or the grandparents pampering Xiao Wenchen more occasionally, I guess my aunt would be able to live more peacefully.
"Let's talk about it then. In fact, according to my idea, it is at home. Kindergarten is mainly for children to play. It is better to have a simpler relationship with friends since childhood.
If you are afraid that your son will not learn anything, we can just spend money to build a better kindergarten in the village. Anyway, there are still some wastelands in the east. For the sake of their own children, people in the village won't have any objections.
Since childhood, I have been running around in the countryside, and even had some friction with my friends, or working in the fields, catching fish in the water, etc. There is nothing wrong with that. Yang Dongxu said.
Although he is very kind to his son now, in his heart he still feels that it would be better for his son to be raised poor. Being poor does not mean not having enough food and clothing, but being more simple in terms of environment and daily contact, so that he can be more grounded.
At least I know what grains are, how much cabbage costs per pound, and where pork and chicken come from. Rather than being like some children raised by so-called nobles, when it comes to shopping, they don't even know that there is such a thing as a vegetable market except in big shopping malls.
As for the so-called noble character, he really doesn't value this. There is nothing wrong with having a mud leg, and as Yang Dongxu's son, there seems to be no need to package himself up and let others look at him differently.
As long as there is no problem with your IQ, you will understand everything you need to know. In the future, if he wants to show off, whether he wants to learn more about red wine, play the piano, or play something stylish, Xiao Wenchen can choose by himself. There is no need to force it into his brain.
Of course, when he was a child, he was raised like a sheep so that his son could have a wonderful childhood. When he gets older and starts to be exposed to the world, he will definitely have to temper himself and be raised like a wolf.
If he is really allowed to take over the business in his hands, let him see the beautiful side of the world when he was a child, and then also see the other side when he grows up. Otherwise, he will definitely be tricked and unable to find his way. In fact, Yang Dongxu already has some ideas and plans in this regard, but it is still early to implement them and can be implemented slowly.
When it was dark early the next morning, Yang Dongxu was awakened by the sound of birds outside.
In fact, he wouldn't have fallen asleep unless he was woken up by the chirping of birds, because his son cried non-stop as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning. I don't know if it was because he felt that the surrounding environment was a little strange when he got home. Zhou Ya, Cui's mother, and his own mother couldn't coax her. Only in his arms did she feel safe and quiet for a while.
I must have run out of sleep since I was lazy, so I wore a sweatshirt, big pants and flip-flops, and the little guy put on a thin coat, and then started walking around the old house with the little guy in his arms.
Look at the birds on the trees, touch the flower buds that have not yet fully bloomed, and stand next to the house for a while and see fish floating up from time to time.
The little guy stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in front of him with his eyes wide open. He babbling and waving his little hands around, directing his father to go this way and that way.
After walking around all morning, I don’t know whether it’s because I remember that this is my home, or because I had a great time in the morning. In short, this young man no longer loses his temper and needs me to help him, and he can finally relax.
In the morning, there are still people who get up early to work in the fields, mainly weeding crops, loosening soil, etc. By eight or nine o'clock, almost no one goes to the fields.
There is no market today, so we find a place to sit under the shade of a tree in twos and threes. When the house was built on the old house, the few big trees were not cleared away. With other greenery, the whole old house was lush and green.
In addition, it is surrounded by bamboo forests and the pool is very cool, so it has become a place for many young and old men in the village to escape the summer heat. There are not only trees but also pavilions near the residence trench.
Someone who knew how to play chess laid out a board, and a group of people gathered around him. The women in the village sit under the shade of the trees, chatting and doing some needlework.
In fact, every family in Yangjiacun is not poor now. The poorest ones even have a shop on the street and can support their family by doing some business.
But that’s how rural people are. They can go out and enjoy the coolness in the shade of trees for free. Naturally, no one stays at home and blows the fan. The older generation plays chess and horses, while the younger generation naturally builds the Great Wall and plays poker.
Those who like to bring a little money can play mahjong, and those who don’t like playing with money can play poker to score points. Mahjong is not a big game, just to kill time during slack time. If you win or lose a few dozen yuan a day, if you are unlucky, it will be as high as a hundred yuan.
There is actually no big difference between winning and losing when we often play together. Sometimes when we win money, we feel good and treat guests to a meal on the street. I guess we have to invest some capital.
The gambling culture is well controlled in Yangjiacun, except for relaxing during the two days of Chinese New Year. Normally, unlike other markets or towns, a small casino is almost set up.
Occasionally, when the police station cracks down hard, the problem subsides, but after a while it reappears. Except for a few days during the New Year, Yangjiacun is very stable all year round.
With Yang Dongxu's previous attitude towards small casinos, no one dared to argue on the street. If you really want to play, you can go elsewhere. There is no need to offend the Yang family and ruin your job here in Yangjiaji.
"Would you like to find some people to touch them?" With his son away from him, Yang Dongxu left his old house and came to the street, where he happened to meet Xiao Wu and a few people wandering around.
Several people were dressed in T-shirts, large pants and slippers, and since it was almost nine o'clock and the temperature was rising, each of them rolled up their T-shirts to expose their bellies. If they were strangers, they would definitely think that these people were bastards.
After all, whether it was running in a big car before or running on both sides of the battlefield and construction sites now, it was not a place for gentle people. He doesn't say anything without swearing, but he definitely has a bit of a gangster temperament in him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get away with it.
