Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1080 What Are You Hiding From? Show It to Your Brother

"Then we'll go home first. We have to discuss with our family, and then we have to rest early at night. We've been tired all day today. We'll get up early tomorrow and come to Dongzi's place." Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

A Guang also stood up, "Let's go together. It's on the way."

"My place is on the way too. How about you go to my place first?"

Although A Zheng was still tough on the outside, he was still a little unsure in his heart.

The three of them turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and couldn't help laughing.

"Didn't you say it was tough just now? Your father is still waiting for you to carry on the family line anyway, and he can't beat you to death."

"Who's afraid of this? I'm just being polite and inviting you to my house?"

Xiaoxiao refused, "I won't go. I'm very tired."

A Zheng glared at him and turned to look at A Guang.

A Guang immediately shook his head, "I don't have time either. I want to go home to be with my daughter."

"You are so timid!"

"Who told you not to tell your family earlier a few days ago?"

"They went back to their room to sleep early that night, and I forgot to tell them the next day. Later I thought about it and just gave up. I'll talk about it when it's settled. Anyway, I don't want them to pay. Oh, why am I telling you all this? How could he hit me?"

The three of them looked at the ceiling at the same time.

A Zheng looked at their actions and snorted, "Go home!"

A Guang and Xiao Xiao stood on each side, and at the same time stretched out their hands to hook his neck and walked out together.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you home."

A Zheng was hooked by the two people, and he staggered a little. He looked left and right suspiciously as he walked.

"You guys are not going to eavesdrop on me, are you?"

"Good idea!"

"Get lost..."

"Hey~ Hehe, we can't get close~"

The three of them were fighting and arguing as they walked out, and the laughter spread from the yard to the house until it got farther and farther away.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but say at this time: "You are almost 30 years old, and you have several children, but why are you still like children, walking like Ah Hai and the others, fighting and making noises, and having no form."

"What formation do you want? Three people can't form a Bagua formation."

"You too, what am I talking about, and what are you talking about? You misinterpret my meaning every day, and you talk nonsense all the time."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever you say is what it is."

Ye Yaodong responded perfunctorily and walked out, Lin Xiuqing followed him and pulled his arm, "You are becoming more and more perfunctory."

"Oh, you are too unreasonable. I answered you seriously, and you said I was talking nonsense. I agreed with you, but you said I was perfunctory. What do you want me to say?"

"Hiss~ You can't argue with me, and you want to pinch me... It's really hard for me..."

Lin Xiuqing looked at his distorted facial features and grinning expression, and couldn't help but smile. She took his arm and followed him to the workshop.

"Ye Chenghu, Ye Chengyang, you two go back and look after the house. No one is home."

"There's a dog!"

"It's no use having a dog. Don't bargain with me. Go back and look after the house. Take a bath. Look at you. You look like you were fished out of the water."

Lin Xiuqing also said, "If I see you haven't finished taking a bath and you're not looking after the house, I'll take your box of cards and burn it in the stove."

"No!"

That was the lifeblood of the two brothers. They looked at those things like their eyeballs.

They had no choice but to say hello and goodbye to the other friends for the time being, and told them to go to his house to play later.

After getting everyone's response, they took their spoils, held their heavy pockets tightly, and walked home reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

After someone was watching the house, the couple went back to the workshop. There had been no one stopping in the workshop all day today. It should be said that there had been no one stopping in the workshop since the fishing boat came back last night.

Even last night, the lights were on brightly. Two groups of people were arranged to take turns, one during the day and one at night, without stopping for 24 hours. After all, the weather is hot now, and these fish can't be kept. They have to be processed in two days at most, otherwise they will become smelly.

Even so, only half of the fish have been slaughtered and processed. They can smell the strong fishy smell coming from there when they stand at the door of their house. It is estimated that they will have to work for another day and night tomorrow to dry all the fish.

Ye Yaodong has never been in charge of the workshop. He has always left it to Aqing and his mother.

But his mother was not at home recently, so Aqing arranged everything, so that today, except for lunch and dinner, he didn't see her at all.

Even when he went to bed that night, he didn't know what time she came back and lay down. He wanted to talk to her about buying land in the city, but he didn't find a chance to talk to her all day.

At night, he felt the bed beside him sink a little. He reached out and touched it, and then woke up in a daze.

"Just came back?"

"Well, it's almost 12 o'clock, so I came back to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow to help in the workshop."

"So many people have been hired, just let them do the work. You can just go over and take a look occasionally, you don't have to sit there and work all the time."

"You need someone to be there with you, to accompany you and watch you so that you can feel at ease."

"You really don't know how to enjoy life."

"Who is as lucky as you? I was born to work hard."

Ye Yaodong patted her twice and comforted her, "Go to bed early, don't get too tired."

Half asleep and half awake, his mind was not so clear, but Lin Xiuqing had just laid down and had not been able to sleep well. She twisted and turned there, and also disturbed him.

She could have fallen asleep by turning over, but he was naughty and kept holding her, which made him more and more awake.

"What are you doing? You're flipping around in bed, tossing and turning like a worm."

"You sleep, it's so hot, and you still want to cuddle, how uncomfortable."

"You're making me sleepless."

Lin Xiuqing turned over, her back facing him, "Then you can't sleep, I'm going to sleep."

"Are you doing this on purpose? If I can't sleep, you can sleep well?"

"Don't be so long-winded, you're the only one who talks too much."

Ye Yaodong got angry, and he pressed against her from behind, and started to touch her.

"I can't sleep, and you can't sleep either, and no one should sleep."

"In the middle of the night..."

"I know you're expecting me to do this, I overslept yesterday."

Lin Xiuqing denied it, slapped her, glared at her, and finally gave in as usual.

After being tired, Ye Yaodong became more awake, mainly because he took a nap at noon, and then slept again in the first half of the night. Now he was more energetic after being tired.

On the contrary, Lin Xiuqing was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes. She worked out during the day and at night, so how could she bear such high-intensity physical exertion?

"Wife, I have something else to tell you."

"Yeah." Lin Xiuqing was half asleep and half awake, and she answered casually in a daze.

"I met Director Chen in the city two days ago..."

"Yeah..."

She was so sleepy that she couldn't hear what he said, and she just instinctively agreed.

Ye Yaodong held her and talked about his encounter with Director Chen, and also talked about his plan to buy land in the city.

Lin Xiuqing's mind was already in a mess, and she only hummed after being patted twice, and then fell asleep unconscious.

He shook her twice again but didn't get any response from her.

"You agreed, so it's okay, right? 123... OK, it's settled then. I'll think about it later and tell you the rules."

After that, he closed his eyes contentedly and began to count sheep.

When he got up the next morning, she had also gotten up.

"What did you say to me last night?"

"Don't you remember?"

"I don't remember what you said, I just heard you talking there, buzzing, buzzing, like a little bee. Oh, I seemed to hear you talking about Director Chen? What happened to him?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at the child who was sleeping soundly against the wall, stretched out his finger and shushed his mouth, "Let's talk outside."

The two began to put on their clothes and pants one after another. After leaving the room, Ye Yaodong repeated what he said last night to her again.

"Aerial bombs!!! You can also fish this up?"

"Ah? Got promoted? That's great..."

"Ah? Buy land?"

"Yes, I've had this idea for a long time, but I thought that we are unfamiliar with the city. It's okay to buy a store in the wholesale market, but if we buy land, no one will support us. When it is swallowed up by others, it will be helpless."

Lin Xiuqing was puzzled, "Why buy land? To farm for my father?"

"Who the hell would go to the city to buy land to farm? Don't you have enough crops at home?"

"Then why do you suddenly want to buy land?"

The old lady was cooking porridge over the fire, and she interrupted, "It's good to buy land, so that we don't have to worry about not having land to grow food."

"I'm thinking of buying land to preserve its value. After all, we have so much money on hand, and it's better to just leave it there. , and worried about being eaten by rats. If it is replaced with land, wouldn't it be safe? You don't always feel that there is no place to put the money at home. "

The old lady listened to it and laughed, "Nonsense, who would complain about having too much money and worry about having no place to put it? You don't have a place to put it, give it to me, I will help you put it."

Lin Xiuqing said to him in a bad mood: "I was just joking, just talking casually, who complains about having too much money? Who complains about having a good life?"

"I'm thinking that we should buy a piece of land in the village around the market first. Anyway, there are empty lands around there, and then use the land to build a house first, and enclose a bigger yard in front and back for your parents to live in, so that the two old people will be more comfortable, and they don't have to rent other people's broken houses, which is inconvenient to do anything."

When it comes to her own parents, she is of course willing to do it.

It's a pity that the two old people have been in a city where they are unfamiliar with the place, and it's inconvenient to eat and live. Although it sounds very glamorous, the elderly must prefer to stay in the village they are familiar with.

Of course, it would be more comfortable if we could build a house for them to live in.

"That's fine. Our parents have been helping us earn so much money..."

"Is that right? I am the son-in-law who thinks things through."

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Yes, you think things through."

"In fact, it should have been done a long time ago, but I thought that we are outsiders. If there are any major changes in the village in the future, if the land is taken back, we may not be able to explain it clearly, and it will be more troublesome."

"It was also during this trip that I met Director Chen. He was promoted, and the reason was related to me. I thought that we could be considered to have a big tree to lean on for shade, so buying a few plots of land would not be a big deal."

"When I visit him in the city in half a month, I will mention the purchase of land to him by the way, which can be regarded as a heads-up."

However, he has just taken office, so he must not make too big a move. First, buy a small piece of land around the market, build a house, and enclose a larger yard, saying that it is for his father-in-law and mother-in-law to live in. It is reasonable.

There was no need for anyone to help him do anything. He just had to tell the village about his plan, and then buy land himself. He also told the village chief that he had a background of acquaintances in the government, and that was it.

Then he would buy another piece of land to build a warehouse. He didn't need to tell the village chief about that.

After a year or so, he would gradually buy land in other places. That would be a natural thing.

After buying land in other places, he could also give some of it to his filial piety.

By the 1990s, there would probably be land in every corner of the city...hahahaha...

Buying a house is not as safe as buying land! Every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

Just thinking about it, the corners of his mouth were already cracked, and he laughed louder and louder, regardless of the different looks from Ah Qing and the old lady.

"What's wrong with Dad?" Ye Chenghu asked, sitting at the stairs, sticking his head out, rubbing his eyes.

Ye Yaodong ignored the child's question and smiled happily, "Let's do it, just as I said."

"Then why are you laughing? Buy a piece of land in the village and build a house for my parents to stay temporarily. Are you so happy?"

"Of course I am happy. This is just the first step. Later, we can buy another piece of land nearby and build a bigger warehouse to save those goods from occupying the store in the city. It's so wasteful to use the store as a warehouse?"

"It hasn't developed yet, and there are many empty stores around. But when it develops, it will definitely not be used as a warehouse. There must be a warehouse nearby. It is convenient to store land."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "That's right."

"People live in groups, so buy land in the village first. In this way, you won't be alone. You will be under the protection of the village. You don't have to worry about those petty thieves or jealous people doing things that harm others and benefit themselves."

"Then later, we can buy land in other places in the city. The money will be there anyway. If we buy land, we can't go wrong."

"Why buy so much land? We are not in the city, and we can't grow crops?" Lin Xiuqing didn't understand why he had to buy land in other places, and they were out of reach.

"Who said that land can only be used for planting? It doesn't matter. You can rent it out to others to grow vegetables and fruits. Anyway, people in the city have to spend money on everything, including buying vegetables."

The city has not been developed yet. Many future commercial centers, high-rise buildings, and residential areas have not expanded outward. Many of them are still farmland and wasteland.

Buy it cheaply, rent it cheaply to some nearby farmers and residents to cultivate it, and let the farmers earn more income. In the future, he will have a lot of land in his hands, and he will have to look for him for development. It's a win without effort.

It's better to buy land than to buy a house!

He still has to hold on to Director Chen's thigh, otherwise, he won't win without effort, and he may be ruined directly.

Seeing that she didn't particularly understand the importance of land in the city, and thought it was no different from the land in the village, Ye Yaodong didn't intend to explain it too much. Anyway, he couldn't buy more at the moment.

"You don't understand if I tell you, anyway, you can't go wrong if you listen to me, and I didn't make a wrong decision."

"So now I buy a piece of land for my parents to live in, and then build a warehouse around it?"

"Yes, after this arrangement is made, I will look for more land to buy."

"Okay."

The old lady kept nodding, "It's good to buy land. Land is the lifeblood of us farmers."

"Aren't we fishermen?" Ye Chenghu asked curiously.

"Farmers and fishermen are all the same. We are all rural people. Land is particularly important to rural people. It is best to buy it and rent it to others to grow rice. When the time comes, the rent you collect will be enough for the whole family to eat, and you don't have to buy rice every few days."

"That makes sense, so smart, it is true that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure."

"Hehe, it's not me who is smart, or you who are smart. Thinking of buying land in the city, others have never left this village in their lives."

Lin Xiuqing said: "Then when we go to visit them in the city in a few days, we have to prepare gifts well. It just so happens that they have moved to a new house, and you have to ask them if there are any rewards."

"Well, you can prepare it as you see fit. This time you have to be more decent. You can't fool around with those dried fish and fish goods at home. It's normal to bring these things to visit on a daily basis, but now it's a formal gift visit, so bringing those things is not good. But it doesn't need to be too expensive. After all, we are country people. Don't give people the feeling of nouveau riche or pretending to be rich."

"I know, I'll think about what to prepare these days."

The old lady smiled and said: "Buy some decent things outside, and give some of these things at home. Mix them together to show that you value them and are not shy."

"That's fine. It looks decent and sincere."

They discussed an important matter early in the morning, and it went smoothly. Ye Yaodong looked refreshed and thought his two sons were cute and pleasing to the eye.

"Hurry up and wash up. Didn't you agree to leave at 6 o'clock? Don't dawdle while the sun is not too strong in the early morning."

"Yeah."

Suddenly, Ye Yaodong thought of another thing, "Have there been two more strangers in our village recently?"

"Are you talking about the people who came to the village committee to cultivate kelp?"

"Come?"

Lin Ji did what he said. He arranged to find someone and actually found him and sent him to the village committee.

"I came here two days ago. In recent days, the village has been buzzing with discussions about kelp farming. Everyone is wondering whether they can make money and how much money they can make. Can they raise it successfully?"

"Efficiency. When I come back from the city, I will go to the village committee to take a look and ask."

"I don't know where the village committee found these two people. Can they do it?"

"Since they have called them here, they must have asked around and invited them back because they know they can do it."

"Just wait and see. Anyway, they have been talking about this for the past two days."

"Why didn't I hear about it when I went to the workshop last night? Why didn't I hear them talk about it?"

"They talked too much. There is probably nothing to talk about. Besides, the villagers The men were more concerned about this matter. The women talked about other things. After all, who knows whether they can grow it? If they can't grow it, there's not much to argue about. And you didn't stay for a while. You came back with the children after a walk. I didn't see you go out all day. "

"Aren't I here to watch the house? The big one goes to school, the small one runs away after dinner, and the old one is also in a hurry to join the fun at the workshop. You are busy, so I have to stay at home to watch it? Dogs are not reliable. "

"That's right, you are worse than dogs... cough cough, hurry up and eat breakfast."

Looking at Ye Yaodong's depressed face and the dangerous eyes, Lin Xiuqing quickly shut up.

"Your mouth is much worse now."

"Haha, I hear you insulting people every day. I will learn it after listening to you too much."

"Is it my fault?"

"I didn't say that. Hurry up and eat."

"Humph..."

Ye Yaodong stared at her, scolded her, and didn't bother with her.

It was already 6 o'clock after breakfast, but he didn't see anyone coming to the door, and he began to curse in his heart, each one was more unreliable than the other.

"They are so lazy, I must have lost my mind to think they can get up at 6 o'clock."

"Maybe they think that we have our own tractor, we don't need to call others, we don't need to wait for the bus outside, and we don't need to worry about missing the bus, so they are a little casual."

"This is too casual, damn, I am stupid enough to get up early and wait here, no, I will ride my bike to call them, otherwise they may sleep until 8 o'clock."

Ye Yaodong pushed his bike out depressed.

Fortunately, he met A Guang halfway, and then met Xiao Xiao, so they were not too late.

"Can you have a sense of time? You said 6 o'clock, but it's already 6:10 now."

"How can you be so rigid about time? It's not like you are in a hurry to get rich." Xiao Xiao said while rubbing his eye boogers and flicked them away.

"It makes no difference. We are just in a hurry to get rich. Where is Zheng? Is he still alive?"

"He hasn't come to your place yet? Then let's go to his house and see if we can see the sun today." A Guang said gloatingly.

The other two were also looking forward to it and went to his house together.

Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle a little faster and arrived at his door first. His father was already sitting at the door, basking in the early morning sun and smoking a hookah.

"Good morning, uncle. Have you eaten?"

Zheng's father said with a smile: "Dong is here. He has eaten. Have you eaten? Do you want to have a bite at my place? There is still some porridge left."

"I have eaten too. Is Zheng up? We agreed to leave for the city at 6 o'clock today, but everyone is here, except him."

"Just got dragged up, dying, eating inside now, almost 30 years old, but still acting like a 3-year-old all day, so unreliable, if you have something to say, why don't you say it earlier, and still want to act first and report later, your brain was kicked by a donkey, you are not sensible at all."

When A Zheng's father said this, his face was relieved and he kept scolding.

"Fortunately, you met a few loyal friends. If it was someone else, you would have been cheated out of your underwear? You don't know what's going on, you should have discussed it with your family earlier, you didn't know to poop until the shit hit your ass, you don't have to worry about pooping in your pants, and your family has to cover it for you..."

A Zheng heard the voices outside in the house, stretched his neck to look outside, and then immediately shouted: "Dongzi, I'll be ready soon, wait..."

"Eat quickly, I'll break your legs when I come back, you kept saying you would get up at 6 o'clock yesterday, and you didn't know to get up until the child peed on your face..."

The two who came later happened to hear this and were surprised.

"Woke up by urine?"

"Nonsense, don't listen to my father's nonsense." Ah Zheng limped out, holding the food he hadn't swallowed yet, and said vaguely.

The three people immediately looked at his limping leg.

"I fell. It was too dark last night. When I came back, I missed a step and fell. I sprained my foot."

"Oh~"

The three people stretched out their voices in a sarcastic tone.

Ah Zheng's father shook his head in disdain.

"Let's go, let's go. There's nothing to see. Ah, it's just right for you to come here on your bike. I'll sit behind you and take you directly to your home, so I don't have to walk."

"You're still afraid of being embarrassed?"

Ah Zheng glared at his father who was gossiping.

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and it was almost 6:30. If it was any later, it would be noon. It was too hot, so he didn't talk nonsense with him. Anyway, there would be plenty of time to embarrass people in the car later.

"Please, come up quickly."

"Push the bike over here."

"You... fucking... too busy..."

Ye Yaodong pushed the bike to him with disdain, so that he could get on the bike.

"Take me to the tractor later, or the tractor will drive next to me, and there are so many people in your workshop..."

"Oh my god, you are the only one who has too much trouble. Didn't you say you fell? Why are you afraid of being embarrassed?"

"I did fall, but if I limped and others saw me, they would not know what happened to me."

"You are so stubborn."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about him, and rode the bike to the door of his house, and then asked him to get off.

"Drive your tractor over here..."

Ye Yaodong looked at his feet, and quickly pulled up his pants.

Nowadays, people's pants are particularly large, and the fabric is thin in the summer, which is indeed cold. With a slight pull, the whole pants will reach the knees.

"Ouch, oh, oh... There are streaks everywhere, blood everywhere, and it's as wide as a belt. This stone is too sharp, let me see... let me see... is there any bend..."

"Damn... you sneak attacked..."

"Let me see, you are fine, and you are wearing long sleeves today, are you hot, yeah~ Look... look... let me see... what are you doing, you are not a young wife..."

Ah Zheng's cheeks turned red because of his sarcastic words, he dodged left and right, and also cursed.

"Don't go too far... you fucking... just look at it, don't, don't... give me some face... that's enough, that's enough, don't lift my clothes..."

"Look, we are all family, we should care about you, oh my, you fell hard, how could you be so careless?"

"Do you want me to rub it with tea oil?"

"Is there any other place, let me see, why are you hiding? I have never seen such a big injury, as wide as a belt in my life..."

"Let me see it, open my eyes... you shouldn't hide like this..."
