Chapter 1083 The Unreasonable Old Lady

Ye Yaodong pulled out his hem and wiped the sweat off his face. "Let's go now. Let's talk first. They may not agree. They may have to consider it for a few days." "Such a large piece of land must be considered. This is a collective asset. It may not be sold to outsiders like us. It's hard to say." "Not necessarily. We have been renting in the village for more than a year. We haven't left it idle after buying it." He thought that he could also let Aqing and the children move their household registration here and settle in this village. This is a rural area now, and it is also a rural household registration, but it will also be developed and included in the urban area. It is now 40 years away from the future. With such a long span and such a long time, they will still be villagers in the future! It will be more convenient for children to go to school in the city in the future, and the educational resources will be better. Regardless of whether they can study or not, they must try their best to arrange it if they have the conditions. Of course, there is nothing to say if they don't have the conditions. "Then you decide for yourself. If you want to go, go early. You have to go back before dark."

"Well, let's go. I'll bring a basket of red eggs back so that I don't go empty-handed."

"Yes, it's just right to mention the reason for sending eggs."

"Let them know a little bit and let them think about it first. They will definitely hesitate for a few days."

"Then let's go."

Go ahead and tell them now. When you come to the city to visit Director Chen in a few days, you can ask about the result.

He thinks it will probably be approved. This will also generate income for the village. Anyway, the land is idle and they plan to settle down in the village after buying it.

He also dealt with the village chief when he first came to rent a house. Later, he handed it over to his father-in-law to deal with. But he was very impressed by him. After all, there were not many people who came to their village to rent a house.

His father-in-law is also used to making connections and currying favors with people. He is very familiar with the village chief and others. Nowadays, people are basically simple and kind-hearted. They have not become indifferent due to the rapid development of society. However, his purpose of coming also surprised people. He only said that he had to discuss it before making a decision. Although the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, the power of the village committee is very large now, but it is not a one-man show. Ye Yaodong also left two packs of good cigarettes, saying that he was in a hurry after receiving the news this morning and did not prepare much. He would eat a few red eggs today and visit them properly next time. He also said some high-sounding good words before leaving with A Guang. Although the two did not delay much, it was almost 4 o'clock when they came out of the village committee, but the sun was still hot. When they walked back to the rental house, they were sweating again. "It's so hot, it's not so hot at home." Ye Yaodong had stripped off all his clothes and held them in his hands to wipe his sweat. "We have been walking back and forth under the sun. There is no wind in the middle of the day. Isn't it hot? It's already 4 o'clock. Do you want to stay overnight? Anyway, it's hot and we can sleep on the mat on the ground."

"It's okay. I'll sleep on the tractor for one night."

He has to stay in confinement here. His mother and A Guang are here. How can he sleep?

It feels weird to sleep on the floor at his father-in-law's or brother-in-law's place. It's better to sleep on the tractor. It's cooler in the open air. At most, mosquitoes will feed. It should be better to light a mosquito coil.

Father Pei was reluctant to go back like this. He hadn't seen his two grandsons enough.

The group stayed overnight.

When the next morning, when it was just dawn, Ye Yaodong and Father Pei couldn't bear it anymore. They went to their rental house with a lot of bruises on their heads, only to find that everyone in the house was awake, including the two children.

"You two stayed up all night?"

A Guang's beard was puffy, and he had big dark circles under his eyes, looking helpless. "They cried in turns, one after the other, or they cried together. They ate and had diarrhea, and then ate and had diarrhea all night. They never stopped. They couldn't sleep at all."

Ye Yaodong suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable to have a lot of trouble. At least he could take a nap. It was not that the mosquito coils were not effective last night, but the open air had little effect.

Father Pei also slept on the tractor with him last night. His daughter-in-law was in confinement, so it was not convenient for him to sleep in that room.

"When are you going to find a car? Today or tomorrow? If today, I will wait a little longer. If tomorrow, I will go back early."

"I want to wait for two days. After all, I just gave birth yesterday. It doesn't feel good to move today. Giving birth to two is more damaging than giving birth to one. Let Huimei rest for two days."

"That's fine. I'll go back now and tell them the news."

Ye Yaodong asked his mother again if there was anything she wanted him to take back first. His mother said no, so he went back with the haggard father Pei.

And Ye's father at home had been waiting anxiously. He had been sitting at home for a long time, blaming them for leaving too hastily and not calling him. It caused everyone to go and leave him at home. He waited for a whole day but no one came back.

When he got home in the middle of the morning, he was pulled by Ye's father for a long time and interrogated. He also asked when they would be back?

"In two days, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, just wait, anyway, you'll be able to see it soon."

"You're talking about too wide a range, from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow."

"Then I can't be sure, having two babies at once is more harmful to the body, so you must take a few days to recover before coming back, right?"

"When are you going to the city leader's house? It's been eight or nine days since you fished up the bomb. Why don't you go a few days in advance, the day after tomorrow? When you see your sister and the child, you can also visit them?"

"No? They said half a month, so wait half a month. Why rush? Nothing is ready. If you are in a hurry to go to the city to see Huimei, you can drive another tractor there."

"Forget it, I will be back in a few days. Wait at home."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, bypassed his father and went straight home. He drank a bowl of sweet potato porridge casually, dealt with various questions from the old lady and Lin Xiuqing, and then went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

He was fighting mosquitoes all night, and he really didn't sleep much. There is no place like home.

When he woke up again after a good sleep, it was already noon. He was still woken up by his wife and two sisters-in-law who took turns to yell at the children to go home for dinner.

It was summer vacation, and the children played more wildly, playing outside in the sun.

The report card hasn't come out yet, and everyone is still quite happy.

Ye Yaodong has been thinking about the newly hired kelp farmers in the village. When he came back the day before yesterday, he wanted to meet them at the village committee, but he couldn't find the time. Today, he finally made time to come.

He went straight to the village committee after dinner, and arranged the two newly hired people in the unused small house in the village committee to accompany the guard.

When he went there, he really saw two strange old men sitting under the shady tree, making ropes. They had white hair on their temples, and they looked a little vicissitudes. Their faces were full of ravines, just like the fishermen on the seaside, all of them looked overworked.

He was free anyway, and his original purpose was to meet them, so he went over to chat with them.

Although they didn't speak Mandarin very well, they could still understand what he said. If they wanted to communicate, they would use their local dialect mixed with Mandarin, and gesture by the way, and they could still chat.

It was not yet time for work, and there was no one in the village committee. Ye Yaodong started talking about the harvest of kelp in their village last year, and then slowly talked about the methods of kelp cultivation and some preliminary preparations. Anyway, they were all related, so he chatted with them in a casual way.

Later, when it was time for work, the village head and the secretary also sat under the big tree with them to discuss and chat together.

Originally, when people came a few days ago, they had already asked and talked about it, but there was no one who knew the business at that time, so none of them understood it.

In addition, the two people invited did not speak Mandarin very well, and there were communication barriers. Most of the words were not understood. Now Ye Yaodong was here, which was just right.

Ye Yaodong knew how to raise it in the future. He also put forward his own views during the communication and gave some small details to see if it could be improved appropriately.

The two really knew how to raise it. Although the methods were somewhat different, one was an old method and the other was a new method, most of them were interoperable. The two listened to Ye Yaodong's suggestions, and they also felt that some of them were feasible and could achieve twice the result with half the effort, so they could try to make some slight changes.

But they still didn't dare to try anything in the general direction. After all, it was their first time here. If they failed to grow crops, it would be hard to say what would happen in the second year.

If they could grow crops successfully the first time, they could slowly make changes later, and there would be more to do.

They talked for several hours. Ye Yaodong talked to them from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but sigh that Linji was reliable and the people he found were really capable.

However, the most important thing about breeding is to look at the weather, just like farmers farming. Whether there is a good harvest or a bad harvest depends on the weather, but they can definitely continue to do it.

Seeing that the sun was setting, he also stood up, his legs and feet were numb from sitting, and the village chief and his old arms and legs were still pounding their legs when they stood up.

"You are old and useless."

"Adong, you have been talking for so long, your mouth must be dry, go to the house to drink some tea, sit for a while, and go back after the sun sets. The sun is too strong now, and it is easy to get heatstroke if you walk."

"Okay."

Since they invited him sincerely, he accepted it reluctantly.

After entering the house, he was not polite and drank several bowls to quench his thirst.

The village chief couldn't wait to ask as soon as he entered the house, "I heard you guys talked for so long just now, so those two people are definitely reliable?"

"Reliable, he knows a lot of people in Linji, and the two people he helped to call are really knowledgeable. Have the people who raise them in the village called them? Let's learn from them for two years and try to raise them first."

"We have already hired two people here, which is quite expensive. For the rest, we will ask our son to take over first and learn from him first. If he can really raise them, we will expand the breeding range next year, and then select a few villagers to follow him. We have to try anyway Raise it for two or three years, and then plant it widely if there are no problems. "

"That's fine, it hasn't happened yet, so keep a low profile for now, let's try it ourselves first, and then promote it if it succeeds."

Secretary Chen also said: "Now that you have talked to them, we are much more relieved, otherwise we would have no idea. I knew you came back the day before yesterday, and I wanted to find you yesterday, but you were not at home. I heard that Huimei gave birth to twins, and you all went to the city to see them."

"Yes, yes, she gave birth to twins. I will come back in two days and treat you to a happy egg dinner then."

"That's amazing. I was wondering why she asked for half a year's leave. A few old ladies in the Women's Federation said something, but no one dared to say it, for fear of damaging her virtue."

The village head also said: "Now she is hiding and giving birth, JSB can't do anything about it. When she comes back, she can just pay a fine. But she can't do the work of the village committee. After all, although we are a village, we are also public officials. We can't go against the policy. Most people don't care."

The secretary also echoed, "Yes, anyone who works in the city can't go to work as soon as they find out that they have exceeded the limit of birth. The village can't do anything either. The eyes of the masses are watching."

Ye Yaodong nodded. He had thought of it a long time ago. At that time, Huimei was unwilling to give up and thought of using the excuse of taking leave. Anyway, she was very idle and had nothing to do. Since they said so, of course they couldn't make things difficult for them.

"Then keep the quota for us, and we can find a family member to inherit it?"

The two cadres looked at each other and nodded.

Job inheritance, this has always been there, it is normal, and the requirements are reasonable.

Originally, a quota reward was specially made to compensate Ye Yaodong, so let him arrange another one himself.

"He must be literate."

"Of course, how can you work if you can't read? I'll go back later to ask and discuss it."

"Okay."

"Also, the donation of two boats you mentioned before must be arranged as soon as possible. If we need boats in the near future, we will rent them from villagers first, and we must also conduct field investigations first. They said that we need to go out to sea more often to check the location in the early stage."

"I know, wait for me for two months, and I will arrange it for you after I come back from catching jellyfish."

This year, I may have to come back earlier, and I don't have to wait until the end of September.

"Are you going to go in the near future?"

"Not sure, I'm still waiting for news, I'll talk about it later, and see. Nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay."

On the way back, Ye Yaodong was thinking about who should be given the job in the village committee. A Guang's two sisters didn't know many words, because they didn't have a mother, life was hard, and they didn't really go to school for a few days.

Ah Hai went to the shipyard. Ah Jiang was one year younger than Ah Hai, only 14. His nieces were even younger. Maybe they could wait a little longer. Anyway, it had been delayed for more than half a year, so it didn’t matter if they waited another half a year.

The village committee was very idle anyway. Seeing the old men chatting and drinking tea together every day, or reading newspapers, they would occasionally go out for meetings and receive instructions and reports from their superiors.

He turned his head and put it behind him. Ah Qing couldn’t spare the time anyway.

On the way back, he unexpectedly ran into Haozi’s ex-wife, but when she saw him, she rolled her eyes to the sky.

Who was she? This made him look forward to Haozi’s return.

As the sun was setting, there were more people walking around in the village than during the day. Everyone was standing or sitting in the shade at the door of their house, chatting with neighbors, and picking leafy vegetables in their hands, chatting and working at the same time.

However, when people saw him, they immediately called him back.

"Adong, I heard that you are going to catch jellyfish in a few days, and you want to bring all the small wooden boats. Is that true? Is it possible? Is it reliable?"

"My family also has a small wooden boat. Can you bring mine too?"

"Yes, let the villagers help. It's just on the way anyway."

"Yes, yes, it's just on the way. Everyone will definitely thank you."

Ye Yaodong's face turned black. He knew that he couldn't say anything before the departure. If one person knew, then the whole family would know; if the whole family knew, then the relatives of that family would all know, which means the whole village would know.

Now it's a week later, which is really late.

Damn, he finally came up with a wishful thinking, but it was ruined. What a stupid teammate.

What's the point of him asking for their thanks? He is the one who loses.

"Where did you hear that?"

"It's been rumored in the village these days that you brothers should take all your relatives' boats and pull them over to make a fortune..."

"We are all from the same village, and everyone is a relative. Please take my boat with you..."

"My brothers from my mother's side also have boats, so take them with you..."

"What if my boat is an aircraft carrier? Can I take everyone in the village with me?" He said this and strode straight home.

I was so angry.

Damn it.

Lin Xiuqing saw that he went out in a good mood, but when he came back, his face was so long, which was also a bit surprising.

"Are the two people the village committee found scammers?"

"No."

"Then why do you look so ugly? What happened?"

"It's true that if there are too many people, there will be too many mouths. If one person knows, it means 10 people know. If 10 people know, it means the whole village knows. I was just seen on the road by a woman in the village. She pulled me and asked me to take all the boats in the village to make a fortune."

"Oh my god, do you really think my boat is an aircraft carrier? Or do you think I am the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva? You even thanked me. It's really hilarious. If I had known that day, I wouldn't have said too much when I was drinking at home. It's really because I drank too much horse urine and got carried away."

Lin Xiuqing frowned, "I heard about it yesterday, but I didn't hear anyone talking about it when a bunch of women were chatting in the workshop the day before yesterday. I don't know who spread it."

"Who else spread it? Isn't it just a bunch of relatives in your family? A person can control his own mouth, but he can't control the mouths of his family, especially those women, who talk a lot."

"What should we do now? I guess the news just spread yesterday or today. I guess someone has to find someone in the village who has a boat."

"It's a blessing that those broken boats can run by themselves, and you still want to take others with you? Don't get stuck halfway. There's no one to help you. There are only a few new boats."

The only ones who have new boats in the village are him, A Guang, and A Zheng. The small one is also an old boat. After the two of them separated from the partnership, they ordered a new one, which belongs to A Zheng. He withdrew his shares and spent more money to get a new one.

"What should we do? Some people may be jealous of the benefits offered by others, and they may not think whether their broken boats can pull the boats."

"Wait until the evening, I will call the few people who went with me last year together and talk to them to clear their heads. For a little bit of profit, if they get stuck halfway, no one will care about them."

"That really needs to be talked about, but don't really pull a lot of them over with one boat, then the ten boats you ordered will probably be in trouble."

Ye Yaodong slammed the table angrily, "I'm so angry with them, they talk so much."

"It's also the fault of the eldest and second brothers. Seeing that you want to make this money with so many small boats, you can't order a boat yourself, so you go to find a boat in the village, and the news spreads."

"Obviously, everyone made a million yuan last year. How much can you make with two small boats and a 20% commission? The gas money is not small, and you have to add a lot of trouble to yourself. There will definitely be a lot of things to do at that time."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help complaining. If the two of them didn't have crooked ideas, there would be no such thing, and they wouldn't need to worry.

"Call them over after the sun goes down. They should be back from the sea soon. There were a lot of things to do last year, which was very troublesome."

"Do you want to bring your own boats back in the next two days? You should bring your own boats. It's understandable that you can't bring theirs. It will save people from criticizing you and saying you are stingy behind your back. The Dongsheng is so big, it can obviously help more villagers make money, but you deliberately don't bring it..."

"Bring them, who cares..."

"Then let them know that you have already bought so many here, and it's impossible for everyone to follow you. Just like last year, it is unknown how much a small boat can earn. There are already many boats this year, and everyone wants to go and make a fortune like everyone else did last year..."

"Let's wait and see later. Anyway, I have to take some time to check the progress these days. I don't know if it's done yet. Call them over for a meeting in the evening to talk about it, so that everyone won't get too excited."

The old lady listened from beginning to end, listening to the couple's anxious talk, but it was difficult to interrupt. Her brows were so furrowed that she could pinch a fly to death. She waited until they fell silent before interrupting.

"Then Dongzi, what should we do? You have ordered so many boats, so it must be at least 3,000 yuan, right? What if we can't make money?"

"If we can make money, you don't have to worry about it. I know it."

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let anyone know, and don't tell your father."

Ye Yaodong didn't say anything else. He sat down at the door to think.

Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to continue cooking dinner.

The old lady also followed him to the door, but she only turned her head to look at him from time to time, but she didn't dare to nag him and offend him. After sitting for a while, she went back to the house to nag Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing was also very annoyed, and she was even more annoyed by the old lady's nagging.

However, when the old lady saw Ye's father coming, she stopped nagging Lin Xiuqing and got angry at Ye's father. None of the two people in the family could be angry with her, and she could only scold her own children without any conditions.

As soon as Ye's father entered the door, he was greeted by the old lady's scolding.

"Look at what you have done. Now the whole village knows about it. You have caused so much trouble to Dongzi. Is it easy for him to work so hard to earn money? You get his salary every day, but you cause him so much trouble every day, and you don't know how to help him more..."

"You are going to kill me. You are useless. You don't know how to help share the burden. You just eat, eat, eat, eat all day long... Come here at mealtime. People are not as punctual as you when they go to work. You are usually not seen at all. Are you a glutton?"

"You only know how to eat. You are old and still eat too much. You are not good at anything. The older you get, the more ignorant you are. The whole family is worried to death, and you are still waiting for food. What's the use... What's the use..."

Ye's father was stunned by the old lady's scolding. As soon as he entered the door, he was beaten and scolded. How could you tell that she was an old lady in her 80s?

She usually had to use a cane to walk, but now she can chase him around the house when she beats people.

He was very depressed. His daughter-in-law and granddaughter were in the house. Didn't he have face?

"What are you doing? Why are you so crazy? You are old, you should eat more vegetarian food and chant more Buddhist scriptures. Why do you want to learn to beat people? What's wrong with me? I came here to eat at a certain time. Is there anything wrong with me? There is no one to cook at home. Don't I eat here all the time?"

"It's 5:30, the sun has set, I came here to eat, is there anything wrong with me? The meal is eaten by others, do you want to starve me to death? Why are you angry again? Who has offended you again?"

"You are old and still like this, you can live a long life if you lose your temper less. The old ladies in other people's families are like clay Buddhas, who is like you?"

Father Ye was also depressed by the old lady, and angrily snatched the crutches from her hand to stop her from continuing to commit crimes.

After losing the weapon, the old lady still cursed.

"What's wrong with me? Others are deaf and blind, do you want me to be deaf and blind too? You can't stand seeing me doing well, can't stand seeing me being able to eat and sleep, and being full of energy, right? You want me to be the same as others? You are an unfilial son."

"Oh my god, don't be so unreasonable, I don't mean that."

"I think that's what you mean, you don't care about the family at all, you didn't even go to see Huimei when she gave birth to twins, you just stayed at home."

Father Ye was enlightened again, women are unreasonable, really don't distinguish between old and young.

It was obvious that they left in a hurry yesterday morning and didn't wait for him. He was at home and no one notified him, how could they know that she suddenly gave birth?

Is it his fault for not going to see?

"You are really looking for trouble, you are old and confused."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the farce in the house, afraid that they would step on Ye Xiaoxi, so she only had time to hold the child in her arms and then watched them fight.

She was also confused, and she didn't expect the old lady to vent her anger on Father Ye.

He was just nagging on her side just now, but she followed Ye Yaodong's usual style and ignored him. She let him nag, and stopped when he got bored.

She just didn't expect Ye's father to come over for dinner, and she got angry.

Ye Yaodong was also dumbfounded. He was sitting at the door enjoying the cool air, feeling depressed, and thinking about what to say in the evening. When he saw his father coming, he didn't want to say hello.

His father came over for dinner at the appointed time anyway, but he didn't expect that he would make the old lady displeased...

Women really don't distinguish between young and old when they are unreasonable...
