Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1198: Misleading

A head stuck out of the window upstairs, and a head also stuck out of the window of the old lady's room downstairs.

Two pairs of envious eyes and curved mouth corners all told their feelings at the moment.

Ye Yaodong glanced upstairs, glanced downstairs, then rode his motorcycle slowly out, ignoring the two boys.

Until the shadow of the motorcycle could no longer be seen, the two heads remained there, and when the sound of the motorcycle was completely gone, the two little heads drooped and shrank back.

Really don't let them follow.

Not even a dog would let them follow.

All the way through the village, and then out of the village, the children around were extremely envious. The whole village knew that Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang's father had a motorcycle, which was very cool.

It was really too handsome, and he was wearing sunglasses.

How could this not be their father!

All the children were a little disappointed, and some ignorant ones turned back home and asked their father why he didn't buy a motorcycle, and they were slapped in the face.

Ye Yaodong was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, his head and neck were wrapped tightly, he was wearing gloves on his hands, and sunglasses on his face, so there was really no wind at all.

After Ye Xiaoxi shouted excitedly for a while, the wind blew in her eyes and hurt her. The scarf could only cover half of her face, so she simply closed her eyes, bent down, grabbed a dog, and buried her head in the dog.

The dog she caught was almost suffocated by her hug. It barked twice, but she patted its head twice, so it could only hold it obediently.

Not all the dogs were brought along. There were three squeezed in the truck bed. When the car just drove out of the yard, there were still a bunch of dogs chasing after it.

These were the ones who lost the fight and couldn't squeeze in, so they couldn't take the car and could only run on four legs.

When they left the village, these dogs were still running around the motorcycle, like they were protecting the emperor.

Ye Yaodong suddenly stopped on the side of the road.

The dogs running beside the motorcycle were caught off guard and rushed out directly, then braked suddenly and turned their heads to shout at him.

"Woof woof woof woof woof..."

Lin Xiuqing was also puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"A bunch of dogs are running behind you, didn't you see? It's okay that you can't catch up with the truck bed, but there are a bunch of dogs following you around, what's going on?"

"There are indeed too many. When I came out in front, I heard children excitedly calling you the dog king..."

Ye Yaodong's face froze, "Fuck..."

He made a stinky face and shouted at the dogs, "Go back, if you don't go back, you won't know who will fall behind later. If you don't catch up, you will be caught on the road and stewed for dog meat."

The group of dogs all ran over and barked wildly around the motorcycle.

Ye Yaodong kicked the dog that was close to him casually, "Go back, why are you following me?"

"Woof woof..."

The spotted dog tilted its head, then whined, and moved forward to bite his trouser legs again.

"Go, go, go..."

The dog that Ye Xiaoxi had been holding tightly in her arms took the opportunity to break free from her and jumped down, preferring to walk rather than ride in the car, and almost lost his life.

The spotted dog was biting Ye Yaodong's trouser leg, and took the opportunity to jump into the car hood. Seeing this, other dogs also rushed forward, and the group of dogs started fighting again.

"Ahhh...bad dog, stinky dog, go away..."

Ye Xiaoxi was about to be drowned by the dogs, and some dogs jumped on her and pulled her. She waved her hands angrily to throw the dogs out.

"Dad, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the restless group of dogs and stroked his forehead with a headache, "I should have known not to raise so many dogs."

"You knew too late, it's because your daughter gave six or seven dogs to Xiaoyu, otherwise there would be more at home."

"This is too fertile, a litter in a lifetime."

"Dad, hurry up..."

Ye Xiaoxi didn't have time to pull this dog, and didn't have time to kick that dog, she was so busy that she could only urge Ye Yaodong to hurry up.

Ye Yaodong had to restart the car, and with the sound of the engine, the motorcycle rushed out.

But the speed was not very fast, it was all dirt road, all gravel.

After the dogs behind reacted, they also ran forward.

Ye Yaodong didn't stop along the way, but he didn't drive very fast, and the group of dogs could keep up with him.

People along the way also saw a rare and wonderful scenery. A group of dogs ran around the motorcycle. There were still three dogs in the truck bed. The expression on their faces was not enough to stop the envy, but they were already surprised.

Ye Yaodong didn't care what passers-by thought, and went straight to Anhe Township.

As soon as he entered the village, he was discovered by the children. The children were like chicken blood, running wildly with the dogs.

The dogs ran and barked, and they shouted at the motorcycle.

It was not until the motorcycle stopped at the door of Lin's father's house that the children behind him stopped panting.

"Uncle, why are you riding so fast? I called you from behind, but you didn't respond."

"I told you, that's my aunt and uncle, you didn't believe it... now you see it?"

"I told you a long time ago, my aunt has a motorcycle, I've ridden it..."

"Did you see, my uncle is so handsome, so cool, so majestic..."

"Where are the two cousins?"

"Aunt, why didn't Chenghu and Yangyang come?"

The family of three was surrounded by excited children before they got off the motorcycle, asking questions one after another.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and got off the car first, then picked up Ye Xiaoxi. The dog in Ye Xiaoxi's arms was about to roll his eyes, but fortunately he let go in time.

As soon as she got off the car, a replacement dog jumped in again.

"Those two were too naughty yesterday and today. They were beaten and couldn't get out of bed, so I didn't take them with me."

"Ah, that's too miserable. I thought I could play with them. I caught another turtle this morning..." said Lin Guangwen, who was about the same age as Ye Chenghe.

Ye Yaodong also got off the motorcycle with a smile, "That's perfect, kill a chicken and stew it together."

"No! You can't eat it. Chenghu has raised the one for a long time and shows off to me every day. I want to raise one too."

Father Lin watched them being surrounded by a group of people, and some neighbors all surrounded them and looked at the motorcycle with envy. They said a lot of envy and even touched it with their hands. He couldn't get a word in.

Lin Guangwen and his friends were a little unhappy when they saw these neighbors touching the motorcycle without any hesitation. They quickly held hands and formed a circle to separate the motorcycles, saying "Don't touch it, it will break."

Only then did Lin's father interrupt and scolded with a smile: "You are so rude, how can you do this?"

"It will break, don't touch it randomly!"

The adults just said it for the sake of meaning, and didn't care about their behavior.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing took down the things fixed on the car and said to Lin's father: "Today is the Little New Year. I originally planned to come tomorrow, but I was afraid that I would not have time later and I had to go out of town, so I came today."

"Forget it if you don't have time. It's not that important. You can come in the first month of the year to save you from running back and forth."

"That's right. How can you save the New Year's greetings?"

Lin's father and mother were very happy, which made them proud.

The neighbors around were so envious.

"Your son-in-law is so good..."

"Your son-in-law takes your whole family to the city to make money, and he doesn't miss the New Year."

"Aqing is so good at finding people. Do you have any good young men to introduce to you?"

Ye Xiaoxi is short and almost drowned by the enthusiastic neighbors. "Oh, I'm being squeezed to death..."

Mother Lin quickly picked her up and said, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said to the group of children who were still holding hands around the motorcycle: "Watch my motorcycle carefully, there will be red envelopes later."

They immediately became energetic and shouted loudly: "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely watch it carefully."

"Yes, no one can touch it."

The house was full of joy, and there were many people outside to watch the fun.

Father Lin's family is now famous in the village. Everyone knows that their family was taken to the city by their son-in-law to make money.

As a result, the large group of children in the Lin family are also particularly face-saving among the children, and all the children in the village envy them.

No matter whether they came to the city to work or what, they went to a place that no one had been to.

After Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing and his wife arrived, they were treated well. All the relatives of the Lin family who were related to them came to hear the news.

So much so that there was no room to sit in the house, and a large group of people stood, all with smiling faces, complimenting Ye Yaodong in various ways.

And praised Lin Xiuqing for her good fortune and marrying a good husband.

Ye Yaodong almost couldn't resist their enthusiasm, and his face was stiff with laughter.

He wanted to go out to bask in the sun, but he couldn't escape from everyone's encirclement, so he could only bite the bullet and listen to everyone's praise.

I have never heard so many compliments so openly in my life, as this time, a large group of people took turns to say it, and I only heard a few words in passing.

But when everyone was praising him, they didn't forget to promote themselves or their own children, asking him to help with work, and they all wanted to hand over their own children to him and let him take them out to make money.

Ye Yaodong stayed at the Lin family for most of the day, and was surrounded by a bunch of people for most of the day. He could only escape for a few minutes by going to the toilet.

Even his dog received the warm hospitality of the Lin family and neighbors, and had a better lunch.

When it was time to leave, Ye Yaodong wanted to escape, but the dogs lingered and wandered around the people for a few circles before running to catch up.

Ye Yaodong deliberately slowed down to let the dogs catch up, otherwise he would definitely be cooked for being so stupid.

"I'm so tired, I feel more tired than a day at sea, my face is stiff from smiling."

Lin Xiuqing also felt so, "Yes, it feels more tired than working at home for a day. They are so enthusiastic, we have to smile too, we are all relatives."

"Fortunately, I came today, and I can find an excuse to go home to worship the kitchen god, otherwise I would have no reason to leave early tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing agreed deeply.

"Count the dogs to see if there are any missing. Don't put them in the pot."

"No, I just counted them. The children at home are all playing around the dogs. They are watching them. They haven't been taken away."

"That's fine. I'm just afraid that they will be lured away by a little food."

The couple slowed down and said a few words. After the dogs caught up and got on the main road, they sped up.

It's not necessary to worship the Kitchen God so early on the Little New Year. You can arrange to worship the Kitchen God and burn incense during dinner, and burn the Tianjin Yuanbao after dinner.

When they got home, the old lady had already cooked the food and cleaned the offerings for the Kitchen God that Lin Xiuqing bought in the morning and put them on the table. She was waiting for them to come back.

They didn't need to do anything when they came back. They could just burn incense and set off firecrackers.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were still lying on the bed, one upstairs and the other downstairs, without showing up.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi entered the room, she excitedly looked for her brother.

"Brother, I have red envelopes, a lot of red envelopes..."

"Brother, where are you?"

"Where is your brother?"

The old lady smiled and pointed to her room and upstairs, and she immediately ran to the room.

"Brother, look at my red envelopes, my pockets are full..."

"There are also a lot of candies and peanuts here..."

"Brother, why don't you say anything?"

"Brother, look! Look quickly!"

"Brother, why are you angry..."

"Brother, why don't you go with us today..."

"Brother, look, look, red red envelopes, a lot of money..."

Ye Chengyang was so depressed that he didn't want to care, but she had to take it to him to show him.

"You're so annoying, go upstairs and find your big brother!"

"Okay, I don't like you anymore, and I don't want to share with you. I'll go find big brother and give him some."

Ye Xiaoxi felt that Yangyang was so boring. She took the initiative to share, but he ignored her.

Pouting her lips, she hummed and put the red envelopes back into her pockets one by one, and also grabbed all the candies and peanuts back into her pockets, leaving none for him.

Then she went upstairs again and continued to share her joy and happiness with Ye Chenghu. Unexpectedly, her big brother went even further and yelled at her directly.

"Are you annoying? I don't have any."

"Then give me yours, and I'll be happy..."

"Get out..."

Ye Xiaoxi was so angry that she ran downstairs again and complained.

"Dad, big brother scolded me! He told me to get out, and he still wanted my red envelope."

"Then I won't give him food tonight. I'll give you all the fruit and candy tributes on the table when I take them down later."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded heavily and was satisfied.

"Go wash your hands and eat."

The whole family sat down to eat, except Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang.

The old lady even took a bowl to put the dishes on, intending to serve them to the two brothers, but Ye Yaodong snatched it away.

"They are spoiled. They can eat or not. If they want to eat, they can crawl out by themselves. If they don't want to eat, forget it. Why do you have to send them to the bed? They are not missing arms or legs, so why are they so delicate?"

"It hurts when I move them. You can't beat them so hard..."

"It's good that they didn't hang them up and beat them. Eat your meal and don't worry about them."

The old lady stood for a while, but she was worried about sitting down to eat like this, so she had to go back to her room and bring Ye Chengyang out to eat.

Ye Chengyang looked aggrieved. His butt hurt, but he didn't dare to sit down. He could only stand there to eat, and his tears fell into the bowl.

"Brother, why are you crying? Don't you want to eat?"

Ye Chengyang turned his head and looked at the unfriendly eyes of his parents, and quickly held back his tears. He still had to eat.

Ye Xiaoxi had just complained, causing Ye Chenghu to have no food to eat. He heard it, and he didn't want to have no food to eat either.

Ye Yaodong patted Ye Xiaoxi's head, "Eat your meal."

"I know, brother likes tears with rice."

"You are the only one who can say it."

Ye Xiaoxi shook her head, thinking that she was very smart.

But when she wasn't paying attention, Lin Xiuqing secretly took all the red envelopes in her pocket.

When she was at the Lin family before, she wanted to put them away, but the little girl was not so easy to deceive after she grew up a year older.

She held the red envelope tightly and refused to give it to her. She couldn't make the child cry because of taking the red envelope outside, so she could only let her take it first and then keep an eye on her.

Now it was just right to take it secretly for her to put it away while eating.

She knew that this year, because her parents, as well as her eldest and second brothers went to the city to make money, everyone gave a big red envelope.

Whose child has so many red envelopes in his hand?

Ye Xiaoxi didn't expect that her red envelope would disappear after just a meal.

She ran out after dinner, wanting to run to the next door to show off her red envelope. She showed off at home, but not outside.

But she touched her pockets and found nothing.

"Where is my red envelope?"

"Where did my red envelope go? So many red envelopes..."

Her rosy face turned pale in an instant, and she burst into tears immediately, tears falling down.

"My red envelope is gone... Wow... My red envelope is gone, my mother is going to beat me to death..."

A lot of brothers and sisters surrounded her, comforted her, and said they would help her find it, and she stopped crying.

But the door was so small, and she didn't dare to tell Lin Xiuqing. She searched everywhere but couldn't find it. She was panicked, sad, upset, and scared and ran home crying.

"Mom, the red envelope is gone, it fell..."

"Mom, don't hit me... I'll give it to you next time..."

"Don't hit me to death... Don't hit me to death..."

Ye Xiaoxi's tears and snot fell, she cried so sadly, her legs were shaking as she hugged Lin Xiuqing, she was afraid that she would be beaten to death.

Ye Yaodong smiled a little unkindly.

When he was burning the Tianjin Yuanbao at the door, he heard her crying, and knew that she found that the red envelope had fallen. He didn't say a word, and watched a group of people looking for the red envelope leisurely.

Appreciating her shocked and scared expression.

Now there is no way, she can't find it, and she ran back crying, it's really funny.

Lin Xiuqing was washing the dishes, and she quickly wiped her hands, holding back her laughter, touched her head, and comforted her.

"Okay, don't cry. If you drop it, just drop it. Next time, remember to give the red envelope to me, you can't take it yourself, you know? Look at you, you just dropped it after you took it. It's a lot of money."

"I won't beat you today. I'll save it now. If you don't behave, I will beat you to death. You will be unable to get out of bed just like my brother."

Ye Xiaoxi was extremely sad, nodded aggrievedly, and shed tears.

"Well, how come it didn't fall off? It was still there just now... wuwu..."

Ye Yaodong came in with a smile, touched his pocket, and gave her a two-cent coin, "Okay, don't cry. If you drop the red envelope, just drop it. I'll give it to you here. Anyway, you don't need to eat so much today." Go shopping."

She took it immediately, wiped away her tears, and handed it to Lin Xiuqing obediently, "Mom, keep it with you."

Lin Xiuqing almost couldn't help laughing, "Okay, keep it with me."

Ye Yaodong died laughing.

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, then grabbed a handful of candies and put them in the empty pocket where she originally put the red envelope. "Okay, it's full again, let's go out and play."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at the two full pockets, and immediately felt satisfied again, and ran out happily.

"Is it okay for you to lie to your children like this? My daughter is so innocent. She was stunned for a while when you deceived her. She was obviously very smart, but she suddenly became stupid."

Lin Xiuqing was very happy now, "You can still deceive someone at such a young age. Do you think the two older ones can still deceive me?"

“Save some lucky money this year!”

"Three strokes."

"No, what my daughter receives will have to go into your pocket."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't keep the smile off her face.

After the couple laughed at Ye Xiaoxi, they got down to business.

"Have all your wages been paid?"

"It happened to be the 31st when you came back the day before yesterday. I paid them all their wages. However, they worked in the workshop for a whole day yesterday and they are not working today. I will pay them one day's wages tomorrow."

"There are also a few Wang Guangliang who are hired regularly for a few wages. If they wait for New Year's Eve, they will give out red envelopes. The same goes for the boatmen."

"I know. In two days the fishing boats will not go out to sea, and then a general settlement will be made. How many days will you go to Zhejiang Province?"

"It takes two days to go back and forth. I'll stay another day or three. I'll go early tomorrow morning and arrive home on the night of the 27th of the lunar calendar. By the way, I'll bring back some local New Year's goods to give away."

Lin Xiuqing counted on her fingers. She arrived home on the evening of the 27th and started resting on the 28th. She could only rest for two days before New Year's Eve.

"That's about right. Let's go to the bank to exchange money on the twenty-eighth. It will probably take a day."

"Indeed, I will come back with some new banknotes and give out red envelopes to everyone."

"Yes, new banknotes, everyone likes new banknotes."

"I'll go out and set off firecrackers and inform the boatmen that we will set off at four o'clock tomorrow morning."

"good."

Ye Yaodong strolled toward the village. At this time, the sky was getting a little dark. Every household had finished offering sacrifices to the stove, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard one after another, some far away and some close.

After offering sacrifices to the stove and burning the heavenly gold ingots, a bunch of firecrackers are set off.

He passed every house in the village, and every house had a broken iron pot or washbasin at the door.

Some are still burning inside, some have been burned to ashes, some are still burning there, and some are still worshiping at the door with incense sticks.

The red paper remnants of firecrackers are everywhere on the road, and there are also the happy figures of children picking up firecrackers. The whole village is permeated with the joyful atmosphere of the New Year.

Ye Yaodong notified each household one by one, but he also got a lot of candies and roasted seeds in his pocket.

Everyone greeted him with extra enthusiasm, stuffed candies and roasted seeds and nuts into his pockets, and asked him to take them back to the children at home. They couldn't even push them away.

He had no choice but to fill it up and eat it by himself as he walked.

"Dongzi, Dongzi..."

"Hey, you damn fat man."

"When are you going to the city again?"

"Normally I can't see you, but now if something happens, I can see you everywhere."

"Isn't this New Year's Eve? I came back to worship the stove. I just wanted to find you after setting off the firecrackers, and I happened to meet you. Where did you come from?"

"I'm going to Vancouver tomorrow, so I'll inform the boatman."

The fat man's eyes lit up, "Take me, take me, I'll go with you."

"No, this trip is too far, so I won't take it with me."

"Take me with you. I scolded my wife yesterday, saying that I only knew how to eat and drink, but didn't do any of the things I was told. It just so happens that I haven't been out of the province, so please follow me."

"No, I'll call you when I go to the city in a few days."

Lin Guangyuan was so frightened that he did not dare to take inexperienced people on the boat for sightseeing.

"I'll rent your shop, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I finally figured it out."

"Okay, then it's settled, what time will we set off tomorrow morning?"

"What?" Ye Yaodong didn't respond.

"I rented your shop, you took me there, I asked you if it was okay, and you just said yes."

"Damn it, where's the trick on me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you promised me, what time will it be tomorrow?"

"Roll, roll, roll..."

The fat man clung to him shamelessly and followed him home, still refusing to leave. Ye Yaodong had no choice but to follow him.

As a result, he went out for a walk with his big mouth, and there were several familiar figures on the beach early the next morning.

Ye Yaodong glared at Fatty, Xiaoxiao, Ah Zheng, and Ah Guang, "Why are you all here?"

"The fat man called us all. We thought the Chinese New Year was coming soon and we had to buy something to give away."

"Why are you so shameless?"

The fat man was not afraid of boiling water, and he smiled and said, "How shameless? Isn't it crowded and lively? Besides, it's not like they haven't been there before."

The others held Ye Yaodong's arm on one side and dragged him to the boat.

"Let's go, there's so much nonsense, just tell us what's wrong with us."

"that is!"

"Wait, wait, I have to sign a life and death agreement for you..."

"What kind of life and death agreement?"

Everyone put him on the boat without any explanation. Ye Yaodong could only stare at this person and that person. There was nothing they could do.

But after he got on the big ship, he asked others to sail the ship, and he took out his pen and paper and fiddled with it, writing.

"What are you writing about?"

Ye Yaodong didn't even raise his head, "Please give me your fingerprints later."

"I voluntarily follow Ye Yaodong out to sea to Wenzhou...I promise that there will be any consequences for myself and others on the way...what..."

"What did you write?"

Everyone looked at his stupidity on paper with confusion.

"The handwriting is so ugly."

"Didn't you mean practicing calligraphy?"

"You don't care if my handwriting is ugly or not, at least I can write it, can you?"

"Tch, what's the big deal? I don't want to go to college."

"I'll give you eight hundred years and you won't be able to write well."

"What are you doing?"

After Ye Yaodong finished writing the last few strokes, he blew on the paper and shook it.

"Let me read it to you. I voluntarily follow Ye Yaodong to go to Wenzhou... All the consequences will be borne by myself. I and my family shall not hold the event organizers and participants responsible for any responsibility..."

"How many..."

Ye Yaodong also wrote it as a joke to amuse them.

He told the story about Lin Guangyuan falling into the sea.

"A few handfuls, this piece of paper is useless..."

"Sign it or not? If not, I'll turn around and send it back to you."

"Sign, sign, sign! You are the only one who has many things to do."

"Isn't it easy for you to just pay ten thousand or eight thousand yuan?"

"You have to pay what you deserve! When the time comes, let my whole family come to your house for dinner."

"Can I jump into the ocean right now?"

I drove all morning and overslept in the afternoon. I finally sent it out before 7 o'clock. I will write another one and try to update it after 12 o'clock.
