Chapter 1204 Spring Festival

Before Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing received the red envelopes, they saw Ye Xiaoxi kneeling down beside them.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

Ye Yaodong and his wife were also stunned.

Ye Xiaoxi tilted her head to look at this and that, not understanding why everyone was looking at her.

Her parents knelt down and got red envelopes, so she thought, she should kneel down too.

After thinking about what they had just said, she also said: "Godfather, godmother... uh..."

Seeing that she had no bowl in her hand, she cleverly said: "Happy New Year! Wish you good fortune!"

Everyone burst into laughter instantly.

Originally, Ye's mother reacted and wanted to pull her up, but she laughed when she heard this.

"Haha... This girl saw that kneeling down would get a red envelope, so she knelt down too."

"Clever... Hahahaha..."

"So smart..."

Children speak without restraint, not to mention that she is such a young child, innocent, and knows nothing. All her actions are honest and cute.

If it was another child, such as Ye Chenghu, it would be embarrassing. Everyone would think that the child was uneducated and impolite, and that the adults did not teach him well.

There are wrong moves, and Ye Xiaoxi's behavior directly made the original atmosphere more relaxed and warm, and all the adults present laughed.

But she was confused and didn't know what everyone was laughing at.

But since everyone was laughing and not angry, it meant that she had done nothing wrong, so she also laughed happily.

Director Chen and his wife laughed particularly happily, "Little girl, you called me wrong, you should call me grandpa, but the other words were not wrong. Come on, I can't let you kneel in vain, there is also your red envelope."

After he said that, he took out several red envelopes from his pocket, which were relatively small, and handed one to her.

Jin Yuzhi also took out several red envelopes from her pocket, and smiled as she took one and hung it in front of her, "Call me grandma."

Her eyes lit up and she shouted loudly, "Grandma."

"Good girl, it's just like what you said, she looks blessed, smart and cute."

Ye Xiaoxi happily took the red envelope, thought about it and added loudly to Director Chen, "Grandpa."

"Good girl, this girl is smart, haha, get up quickly."

Ye Xiaoxi smiled with her teeth showing while holding the red envelope, but turned around and immediately presented the red envelope with both hands, "Mom, I'll give it to you, I'll drop it, you help me put it away. "

Director Chen smiled and said, "This girl is really sensible, she even knows to give the red envelope to her mother to put away. Like my little granddaughter, she held it tightly even after coaxing and deceiving her for the past two days, but she just didn't give it to me, so I could only secretly put it away for her when she went to bed."

"Yes, this child is so well-behaved."

Lin Xiuqing also smiled, "This is because she lost a red envelope a few days ago, and she was scared, so she is so sensible now."

Ye Yaodong listened and shook his head helplessly. How could he not know about the red envelope? He just bullied the child because he was young and could cheat him.

Director Chen smiled and looked around the crowd again, "Don't you have two sons? Come on, everyone has a share, give them a red envelope on New Year's Day, and ask for good luck."

Ye Chenghu immediately knelt down excitedly and shouted loudly: "Happy New Year to my godfather and godmother, and all the best."

Ye Chengyang also knelt down and shouted.

When they saw Ye Xiaoxi kneeling down to receive two red envelopes, they were already eager to do so. If they hadn't been beaten, they would have knelt down as well.

Fortunately, they got their share!

After receiving two red envelopes each, the two were very excited.

Ye's mother smiled and said politely, "The leader is too polite. Why should he give so many red envelopes? These little ones are so excited when they see the red envelopes..."

"Of course, it's the New Year. Regardless of whether the marriage can be successful, the little ones must not be left out when they come to the door."

Ye's father also said, "Too polite. Logically, we should come to the door..."

"It's not that particular. It's also the children in the family who want to come and see Adong's family first and want to learn about it first. They are not at home at other times, so they can only take advantage of this time. It's the New Year, and every family has to visit relatives and is busy. It's just right to take advantage of today to do things together "It's done."

"Okay, the food is already prepared. You can take a rest first. Let Dongzi and the village chief accompany you to look around."

"Okay, let's go to the Tianhou Temple. We didn't go in just now. Let's all go and burn incense together. Since we are here, the Tianhou Temple in your village is the largest in the coastal area."

"Yes, thanks to the leaders, the incense is very prosperous every morning and evening recently. People come to burn incense everywhere nearby. You can also go and burn incense and worship."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

A large group of people in the room walked out again.

This time, Ye's mother also stayed and prepared lunch together.

Lin Xiuqing caught the two sons who were about to run away and grabbed their clothes with one hand each.

"Stop right there, both of you. Show me the red envelopes."

Both of them hid the red envelopes behind their backs at the same time, looking at her warily, "No, this is for us."

"Show me how much money it is, so I can give you a gift in the future. Who wants yours?"

"Really? You won't take it?"

Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything, stepped forward and snatched the red envelopes from their hands, opened them and took a look.

Each person had two yuan.

Sister Ye was surprised, "Oh, so much, so generous? Two yuan per child per red envelope? Three children, that's twelve yuan? That's a lot?"

Sister-in-law Ye was envious and said, "This leader is so generous. He gives one to each of the couple. How much do you and A Dong have?"

"It should be at least 10 yuan, right?" Ye Mu also asked curiously.

"Our weddings, weddings, and favors cost five or ten yuan, so if the leader takes action, it must not be less than ten yuan, right?"

Lin Xiuqing saw that the people in front of her had left the yard, and opened the red envelope and took a look. It was five new big unity cards.

"Fifty dollars?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's so generous. I'll give you more than 100 yuan if you recognize anyone as your godmother. If you recognize a few more, you'll get rich." Sister-in-law Ye was so sad.

"Each of us has one, Ah Qing has one, and Dongzi has one too. The two of them add up to 100 yuan."

Mother Ye said: "It's worth three months of my salary. He is indeed a leader, so generous. If you add a little more, you can get a wife back."

Ye Chenghu said cautiously: "Mom, you already have so many, can you return the red envelope to me?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at her two children and returned the red envelope to them both as promised.

"You are not allowed to take it out. Take it back to your room and put it back in your piggy bank. If it falls, you will have to hit me for the Chinese New Year."

The two of them happily agreed in unison, "I know, Mom."

She looked at Ye Xiaoxi who was looking up with envy, touched her pocket, and took out another 5 cents to comfort her.

"Both brothers don't have this money. Mom secretly gave it to you. Only you have it. Keep it and don't throw it away."

Ye Xiaoxi was very happy and felt that she was favored. "Yeah, I won't tell them."

Everyone was happy, both adults and children were satisfied.

After sending the children out to play, the adults gathered around to cook and discuss the matter of getting married.

Everyone envied Ye Yaodong for having an extra supporter and a relative. Under the witness of everyone, this was real.

"It looks like Dongzi will be very successful in the future. Even the village chief and others will have to come out to accompany the leader. The leader must be very powerful."

"Aqing, your family is getting more and more prosperous. The leaders have come to visit you. From now on, you are not allowed to walk around outside?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said to the two sisters-in-law: "How can it be possible? The leader just thinks that A Dong is in love with him. Over the past few years, he can also see that A Dong is good."

"Besides, haven't you asked someone to calculate your horoscopes? I think that A Dong's horoscope and his horoscope are prosperous, which means that they are mutually beneficial. Otherwise, if we are such a big person, why should we be married?"

"Our family now has so many boats, and there is no shortage of red envelopes. From now on, we will have to buy gifts and visit them frequently."

"That's true. This marriage is a real deal. You have to be filial and have good relations with each other in the future." Sister-in-law Ye nodded, not saying that they took advantage.

Fortunately, their family had prepared a lot of food before. The weather was cold and it was around freezing recently, so the food could be stored.

There is no shortage of chickens, ducks and geese at home, as well as some dried seafood, such as dried shrimps, dried razor clams, dried shrimps, etc.

There is also a bucket of clams that Ye Mu dug up from the beach years ago and is still raising them. She can even get a few vegetables to cover a large table.

There are only four women in their family, half of them are the old lady, and some older children in the family can also help. Ye Huimei also got the letter and ran back to help. Several women killed chickens, ducks and geese, and rectified the three The table is still very slippery.

There were three tables for the lunch meal, all placed in the yard. The atmosphere was lively, and even the neighbors stopped at the entrance of the yard from time to time, stretching their heads to take a look.

The meal lasted from 11:30 to 1:30, and the guests and hosts thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Even the dogs were very satisfied. There were more types of bones today.

If it weren't for Director Chen and the others who had to ride back in the afternoon and couldn't drink too much, they probably wouldn't have left so early.

However, after sending the people away, Father Ye and Ye Yaodong enthusiastically pulled the village cadres to sit down and continue drinking. After all, their home was in the village.

It’s Chinese New Year, drink more wine and have fun.

The village cadres themselves were very satisfied with Ye Yaodong, and now they had to maintain a good relationship and give him even more face.

The food was hot and hot, and a group of people ate from the afternoon until the sun went down. The weather was cold and it was not suitable to sit outside. The food on the table was also swept away, and they were sent home in vain.

The three brothers, Father Ye and Ye Yaodong, were all so drunk that they could no longer speak properly. After returning to their respective homes, they all fell asleep.

Word spread throughout the village throughout the day that Ye Yaodong had become a leader in the city, and the leaders personally visited him during the Chinese New Year to accept him as their adopted son.

He is so envious of a lot of people. They all say that he wants to achieve great success and become a master, instead of being a fisherman.

Some people retorted that he was not an ordinary fisherman himself, but had already been the boss. With a series of boats of the same color outside the pier, who would still think he was a fisherman?

Ye Yaodong, the man in the topic circle, was fast asleep. He slept until midnight before he got up and took a drink of water. Then he continued to sleep in a daze. It was not until the morning of the second day that he woke up.

"woke up?"

"Well, I'm a little thirsty."

"You drank too much. I drank from noon to night. I'll get you some warm water."

Lin Xiuqing opened the quilt, put on her coat and poured boiling water for him.

Ye Yaodong also put on his clothes and pants and touched the clothes of his coat. There was also the red envelope he received yesterday.

Yesterday, he didn't have time to look at how much money was inside. Now he opened it and saw 50 yuan inside. After being surprised, he felt normal.

If it’s too little, you can’t give it out. After all, you’re still a leader.

Seeing Lin Xiuqing come in with a steaming bowl, he asked again: "How much are the red envelopes for these children?"

"A red envelope costs two yuan, and each of them got two red envelopes. And when the leader came to the door yesterday, he was carrying those things that were worth a lot of money. I thought, for the Chinese New Year, we also have to visit the door, and we can't just let them go. When people come to visit us, they are now serious relatives.”

"Well, yes, forget it today. They just came here yesterday. Let's go tomorrow and take them back to the city. Director Chen has said before that he will be on duty on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

"That's okay. I'll prepare today and buy some things. I'll send them over tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. I'll probably stay for lunch and then send them back to the city."

"Um."

After the couple discussed it, they both put on their clothes.

Ye Yaodong has been thinking about it for so many days, and he has to go to the city to have a look. Just in time to send the leader back, he can also check out the shops, warehouses, and factories that have not yet been arranged.

During the past few days of the New Year, he felt that he had never had an easy day, and he was still rushing hard.

On the second day of the second day of the lunar month, I accompanied Ah Qing back to her parents' home. On the third day of the third lunar month, the leader came over and stayed with her all day. On the fourth day of the lunar month, I went shopping in the town. On the fifth day of the lunar month, I went to the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then sent him off to the city.

The sun had gone down when they arrived, so they could only stay one more night.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, he checked the goods, shops, and empty factories. Thinking that he had come here, he took Ah Qing for a walk around the city before driving the tractor home.

It's night again when we get home.

On the seventh day of the lunar month, the shipyard notified him that the last trawler among the seven scheduled ships had been built and could sail back immediately.

He asked his mother to check the date. His mother had learned a lot from studying the almanac in the past six months and said that day was a good day. He hurriedly went to the county town to pay the final payment and brought the boat back to set off firecrackers.

The whole year went by like a spinning top. Except for the first day of the new year where he could have fun playing cards, at other times, he felt that his feet were not touching the ground and he was more tired than going to sea.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, he didn't want to move anymore. When he woke up early, he was still in bed, unable to get up.

Lin Xiuqing got dressed and sat at the table, combing her hair and applying perfume to herself. He propped his head on his elbows and watched.

"There's nothing else to do today, right? You don't have to go out anymore, right? It's so tiring to live a new year, it's better not to celebrate the New Year."

"No one asked you to go out."

"But there are always things that force me to go out."

"There should be nothing to do today. Just lie down and sleep for a while."

"It's so cold that I don't want to get up. There was sunshine two days ago, but today it feels like it's going to rain."

"No, it's just gloomy. Isn't the weather like this in winter? It's rare to have so many sunny days. Everyone has had a good year."

Ye Yaodong watched her wipe her face and go out, then lay back down again.

It was rare that he could stay in bed for a while today. It felt gloomy outside, so there was no need to get up. He hugged Ye Xiaoxi and continued to close his eyes.

It wasn't until the little one woke up and clamored to get up and go out to play that he dressed her and got up himself.

Children are not afraid of the cold either. They lift off the quilt as soon as they wake up. Adults have to wait a little while to get up. Even if there is no emergency, they still need perseverance to get up.

No, they can get up and run out to play as soon as they hear the slightest sound and do somersaults.

The outside world is so attractive.

As soon as Ye Yaodong got up, he saw his father sitting at his door.

"Many people started going to sea yesterday. When do you plan to start work? We can't really wait until the 15th, right? Thank you for taking so many days off and still paying them wages?"

"Are you okay? The other ships have been rented out and they are in a hurry to start work. Don't I also have an income? I just need to support a few people on the Dongsheng..."

"Your eldest and second brothers are eager to go to sea. They don't want to waste time at home playing all the time and paying wages to others."

"Oh, ask Uncle Pei? When do they plan to go to sea?"

He just had a day off today...

Alas... I was born to work hard.

Those who did less in the previous life will have to work twice as hard in this life. God is indeed fair.

"After asking, Aguang said that he has been playing at home for so long. If he wants to go, we can go together in the evening."

Ye Yaodong sighed silently in his heart again.

"Tomorrow, give me one more day to rest. You guys have some free time. You play cards every day, and it's so relaxing and relaxing. I'm running around everywhere and I'm terribly tired. I just had a day's rest today."

Mother Ye interjected, "I've seen it. I missed yesterday. There will be no day to go to sea until November. So many people went to sea yesterday. You guys will wait until November before going to sea. It's the first time to go to sea after the new year. Don’t be careless, it depends on your shipping for the whole year.”

"Are you okay? Why don't you just pretend that you can and ask others? There are some ships that haven't moved yet."

"Can I do it? How could I not do it? I have been studying it for more than half a year, and I have also asked others for advice for more than half a year. I can recognize a lot of traditional Chinese characters. Don't underestimate people. Many people have asked me to help me check the days."

Father Ye didn't say anything anymore. It's not the time to quarrel during the Chinese New Year.

When people ask her to look at the day, they just ask her normally, which day is a good day for going out to visit relatives, and which day is bad and not suitable for going out.

Who would ask her to fool around with such a big day and such a big event?

Anyway, there are other boats that haven't gone out to sea yet. He will ask others later whether it is appropriate to go out to sea at night.

Pei's father has not planned to go out to sea since the New Year. He has handed over all the boats to A Guang and is living at home. He is the only elder and he has to take care of all three boats.

With three sons and one son-in-law, all the pressure is on him. Of course, he has to pay more attention.

Ye Yaodong was satisfied when he heard that there was a day on the 11th. "Then wait until the 11th to go out to sea. Going out to sea on the first day of the new year, you have to choose a more auspicious day."

"Yeah."

He rested leisurely at home for a day.

There was no sun all day today. It felt much colder than the previous few days. When I went out, the wind blew and I couldn't wear my hat.

The children at home went out to play for most of the day. When they came back, they had runny noses and red and chapped faces.

There was another strong wind in the evening. The villagers said that the eleventh day of the first lunar month was a good day, so they postponed going out to sea until the eleventh day of the first lunar month.

The cold wind whistled at night, and the room was warm. The orange light set off the family watching TV seriously, making the room warm.

It was too cold. After dark, they kept the children away from going out and only let them watch TV at home.

The old lady peeled peanuts and melon seeds while watching TV.

Lin Xiuqing was knitting a sweater with her hands and staring at the TV, but it did not affect her hand speed at all.

Ye Xiaoxi squatted in front of Ye Yaodong, with her hands spread out on his legs on both sides, her feet kept moving, and from time to time she curled up to hang herself up, her body swaying, and she was not quiet even when squatting.

But the old lady was still spoiled, and she would put the peanuts into her mouth after peeling them.

Ye Yaodong was also peeling melon seeds in his hands and putting them into her mouth, and she just had to open her mouth to catch them.

The other two boys could only do it themselves and have enough food and clothing, but their minds were all on the TV, so they didn't feel indignant.

Ye Yaodong had been busy running back and forth for several days, and only today could the family sit together leisurely to watch TV and kill time.

The child in front of him kept leaning on his arms. He told her to be quiet and not to move around, but the smile on his face was always doting.

Ye Xiaoxi also twisted and turned, crying coquettishly, "No, no, just move, just move."

"Don't make noise!" Ye Chenghu shouted angrily.

His two boys were obsessed with watching monkeys. As long as there was Sun Wukong, their eyes could be glued to the TV.

They didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala, but they must watch the monkeys.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, Journey to the West was officially broadcast on CCTV. It has been broadcast for several consecutive days. In the past few nights, they have been watching in front of the TV every day.

The filming of "Journey to the West" started on July 3, 1982, and the pilot episode "Exorcising the Black Chicken Kingdom" was broadcast on October 1 of the same year.

During the Spring Festival of 1986, CCTV broadcast the first 11 episodes continuously.

The classic 1986 version of Journey to the West that everyone knows is actually the 1982 version.

At that time, from 1982 to 1986, it was said to be the trial broadcast period, so the children at home also watched a few episodes intermittently during these two years.

When it initially became a story series, it was successfully edited and organized into 11 episodes of TV series in 1986, and it was broadcast on CCTV on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 1986.

Then the remaining 12 to 25 episodes were continued to be filmed.

So 1986 was the real version of "Journey to the West", and this is also the main reason why there is no 1982 version of Journey to the West.

In fact, the 1982 version of Journey to the West was not banned after it was broadcast, but it was rectified and the length of the film was adjusted, and then it was re-integrated into the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".

Journey to the West has 25 episodes in total, and the last 5 episodes were not filmed until 1988.

Ye Yaodong used to think that Journey to the West should have 70 or 80 episodes, after all, each episode was particularly exciting, rich in content, and compact in plot.

But later, he found out that Journey to the West only had 25 episodes in total.

The content is really pure, and there are not many advertisements...

"Why are you so loud? You are just monkeying around every day. I think you are like a monkey."

"She is too noisy, so annoying."

"Does she talk more, or do you talk more? Aren't you the one talking now?"

Ye Chenghu was so angry that he didn't say anything. He hadn't seen a monkey for a long time. It was broadcast every day these days, and he finally got to watch it happily.

"You are blind. You only know how to look at monkeys every day, and you don't know how to look at monsters."

"The monsters must be beaten to death!"

"Don't you think the monsters in the movie are very beautiful?"

"Ah, the monsters are so bad. Sun Wukong is so powerful. His golden hoop can change size. He can also change 72 times. It's so powerful."

Ye Chenghu expressed his opinions excitedly, and even pulled out a broom stick and swung it around like Sun Wukong.

Ye Chengyang also added, "There is also the somersault cloud. A somersault can travel 108,000 miles. It's so awesome. It can defeat a group of heavenly soldiers and generals."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and hit him with the iron hairpin she was knitting a sweater with. "Everyone is looking at the monkey, but you are looking at the monster. How powerful this monkey is."

"When you grow up, you will know how to look at the monster."

"Bah!" Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "Don't teach bad children, watch your TV."

"Ye Chenghu, sit down too, don't swing the stick around, if you hit someone, I will peel your skin off."

Ye Chenghu sat down obediently, still holding the broom stick in his arms, and continued to watch TV attentively.

It wasn't until the episode was finished that Lin Xiuqing turned off the TV and told them to go back to the house to sleep. Then the three children went upstairs and others to their rooms.

Ye Xiaoxi took off her clothes and was still doing somersaults on the bed, still thinking about a thousand miles.

"I will also... I will also..."

Ye Yaodong saw that she was sticking her butt out and didn't turn over, so he used his hands to help her, "You can't even turn over, and you're still a thousand miles away. Go to sleep."

"I still want nei nei..."

"You're already 4 years old, and you still need to be nei nei."

"Doudou is 5 years old. Even after playing for a while, he still has to go home and drink some nei nei. I don't even have my mother's nei nei."

Lin Xiuqing lifted up her clothes, smiled and leaned over to tease her, "I'll give you my mother's nei nei, do you want it?"

Ye Xiaoxi dodged around and shook his head vigorously, "No, no, I want the nei nei in the bowl."

She has stopped breastfeeding for half a year, and if I try to give her a drink, she no longer wants to drink it.

Ye Yaodong took a deep look at Lin Xiuqing's chest, and stood up actively to make some malted milk for Ye Xiaoxi.

Lin Xiuqing looked at him in surprise, "You are so active today. Normally you wouldn't even move when I tell you to go."

"We'll be going to sea in a few days, so of course we have to be proactive."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said meaningful words. As soon as she finished drinking, he immediately turned off the lights and urged Lin Xiuqing to put the child to sleep.

Only then did Lin Xiuqing understand what he was planning.

She said why she was working so hard today, she couldn't even scream normally, she just lay there like a corpse pretending to sleep.

When Ye Xiaoxi fell asleep, he leaned over and said flirtatious words, "She wants the nei in the bowl, and I want to play with your nei nei."
