Chapter 394 Invitation
After contributing all the ideas in his mind, Ye Yaodong felt relieved.
It depends on how they talk about the turmoil caused by the Bronze Cauldron. It would be better if they can deal with it early, so as to avoid making trouble and the villagers can calm down.
He put his hands in his pockets and put on the sun hat. Not afraid of the curious looks from the villagers on the road, he deliberately walked under the shade of a tree along the way. It was almost July, and the sun was scorching hot and getting hotter day by day. If If he stood in the sun for several days without sunscreen, his mother wouldn't recognize him.
It was already dinner time. Along the way, smoke was rising from the chimneys of every house in the village. Birds were rising. Passing by some houses, the fragrance was wafting from the windows.
Especially the delicious smell of fried crabs made by some people makes your stomach growl when you smell it.
Fortunately, those people's conscience found out today that he could go home and have a meal in peace without going to sea for a whole day.
Ah Qing was still puzzled when he saw him coming back, "I thought you didn't have time to come back for lunch. You only left a few dishes, and the rest were taken out to the workers. Then I'll make another shrimp skin omelette, otherwise it won't be enough." have eaten."
"If I don't come back to eat, where will I go to eat? It's not at sea. There's no need to work hard, just take a bite."
"It's not too much trouble to just fry an egg. The two boys like it too. I heard from dad that you went to the village committee with those people. I thought you had to work with them for another day."
"I'm not needed, I'm just going to watch the fun and hear the news. A few people from the museum came today. It seems that they also applied for the salvage team yesterday, so there is no need to ask those *** into the water today. , after all, they are not professional salvage, they are just exploring the path first to confirm if there is anything on the seabed, and the salvage team will come in a few days."
"If we don't go out to sea to salvage, why are they here today? It's not too hot even on a hot day. I just want to hide in the house and not go out."
As Lin Xiuqing spoke, she cracked two eggs into a bowl, chopped a small handful of green onions, grabbed a handful of dried shrimps and put them in, then sprinkled a little salt and stirred.
Ye Yaodong sat at the table with his feet up, watching her work, and casually took a few bites of food to eat.
"Isn't there still an unresolved issue about the bronze tripod? Just because we didn't mention it yesterday doesn't mean those people have given up. Maybe they just waited for people from the museum to come today to talk about it. We were just talking about the bronze tripod at the village committee. I heard After a while, I saw that it was almost time for dinner, so I came back first, and I didn’t have anything to do anyway.”
"It doesn't matter if we come back for dinner, we can't get involved in the affairs of those big shots. I heard from my second sister-in-law earlier that the villagers ran to the village committee to make trouble in a rage. What's going on? Nothing happened, right?"
"It's okay, so they all got angry. The villagers became interested in making money one by one, and ran to the sea to see if they could salvage anything. How could these officials let things fall into the hands of others? The villagers were dissatisfied one by one. , went to the village committee to make a fuss, and now she has been comforted and persuaded to leave." Ye Yaodong told her about the temple construction by the way.
The egg liquid was poured into the pot and made a sizzling sound. Lin Xiuqing scraped off the egg liquid at the bottom of the bowl, put the bowl aside and said: "Build a temple, that's good. Anyway, the cauldron should be left there. The temple There was an incense burner in there originally. Use it to negotiate terms with the officials and get some money to build the temple. The Mazu temples are all in tatters.”….
"That's what I said, so the villagers were very happy. They were trying to drive them out aggressively, but after hearing this, they all smiled in surprise."
“I don’t know how much money the government can reward for building temples.”
While she was talking, she poured a little bit of rice wine into the bowl that had just been filled with egg liquid, stirred it, and melted as much of the remaining egg liquid in the bowl into the rice wine as possible, trying not to waste it, and then poured the wine in the bowl along the pot. Pour the walls evenly into the pan to add flavor to the omelette.
Even though she now has some money on hand, she is still diligent and frugal, and there are some personal habits that cannot be changed.
Except for stir-fried vegetarian dishes without adding wine, there is a local custom of adding a little rice wine to other dishes to enhance the aroma.
"It's hard to say how much the reward will be. It depends on what the village cadres say. They don't dare to accept it casually. They have to satisfy the villagers. Whether to donate or not is up to the villagers."
"Well, you go and ask your two sons to come back for dinner. I'll turn the eggs over and cook them."
"With such a big sun, where did the two bastards die?"
"You go to the door and call. If you hear it, you will naturally come out from the corner."
Ye Yaodong walked to the door and shouted at the top of his lungs. For a long time, he didn't see anyone or hear a reply.
He was cursing and was about to search around the village when he saw two people running back, one behind the other, holding a big watermelon in their hands.
"Where did he die? Where did the watermelon come from? They are running around in the hot weather. Summer has not yet come, and both of them are already darker than me."
After the two laughed and called dad, they ran directly into the house holding the watermelon.
Lin Xiuqing also asked there: "Where did you get the watermelon?"
"Looking at the appearance of these two chicken thieves, they probably stole it from some mountain or field."
"Mom, cut the watermelon quickly, we are almost dying of thirst..."
She took the watermelon and put it in the corner. "This watermelon has been too hot to eat under the sun. It will cause stomachache if you eat it. Wait for a while until the watermelon is no longer hot before you can eat it. Let's go eat first."
"Then you soak it in water and it will cool down immediately."
Ye Yaodong patted the back of his eldest son's head and asked, "Where did you steal it?"
"Back Mountain!"
"You're not afraid of being caught and having your legs broken. When your grandparents bring you watermelon in a few days, you're still afraid that you won't be able to eat it."
"Then we want to eat now."
"Eat your head. Come to the table and eat quickly. Don't go and steal it again."
While they were eating, Ye's father and Ye's mother came over to help with the work. Ye's father helped move and lift with the workers next to the house, while Ye's mother went to clean up the bowls that the washers had just finished.
While she was working, she kept talking, saying that Ye Yaodong was messing around and wasting money.
Just in time, Ye Yaodong had just finished eating and was about to put down the bowl to serve his mother when he heard these words.
"The old house is also very dilapidated. It has been repaired for decades. It needs to be repaired every day. Or I can build another room and you and dad can move here too. We all live here. You two The old ones are bored over there.”
"Why is it boring? There are neighbors on both sides. It's boring to move here. We have to work as cows and horses for you. We two old people live there. We don't have to worry about it. I don't know how comfortable it is."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Looking at you running here so frequently every day, I thought you wanted to move here too."….
"I have been worrying about you for more than 20 years. I am worried that I will come here from time to time. I am afraid that no one will watch and you will become bad again..."
"Then I didn't do well under your nose for the past 20 years."
Mother Ye wanted to beat him when she heard him talk back, "You will make me angry every day. If you move here, you will be so angry that your life will be shortened by ten years."
"How could it be? It's hard for you two to cook in the old house. Move here. I'll tell the workers later to pick out more materials and build another room."
He really sincerely wanted to take his father and mother together. They were alone in the old house, so they could see their grandson every day if they moved here.
"No, you have too much money, right? You can't live in the house if it's left there. It'll be ruined if there's no one to take care of it and it's not popular. It's such a pity that a good house is ruined by it. If I don't move, I'll live in the old house. Don't mess around. , if the money is too hot to touch, just give it to me and I will save it for you."
"That's up to you."
Regardless of whether he wanted to move here or not, he was thinking about building another room? I prepared it there in advance, but it seems that there is no room left to build an extra room?
[In view of the general environment, he walked to the side of the house uncertainly and took a look. There was indeed not enough space. After building the house for the old lady, the vegetable plot next to it was almost touching the corner of the wall. Even the vegetable plot was not enough to cover.
There is a small room in the back that is their family's toilet. He does not share it with his eldest and second brother's family. He is tired of the disgust of sharing the toilet in the old house.
If we still need to cover it, we can only cover it upwards and add a layer of red bricks. Two layers of stone will not work and are difficult to transport. Red bricks are more convenient.
Then you have to go to the brick factory to buy bricks, which is troublesome, and building a building is also a bit awkward.
Thinking about it, he could only give up the idea. Since his mother didn't want to move, let's talk about it later. She and his father were still young anyway.
"Dad, my uncle brought watermelon."
Ye Yaodong raised his feet and walked towards the door, "Why didn't you go to sea today? There aren't many waves on the sea."
"I came back yesterday afternoon and heard about what happened to you. You were not here when I came here. Today my second sister came to see you, and my father said to take a day off and just sent him away for a while. But I saw a few children standing at the back door. He stole watermelons and yelled at me a few times to scare him away, so he went to pick watermelons and I sent some over."
"Young man, my family has stolen from my family."
"What?"
Ye Yaodong pointed to the watermelon soaking in water in the basin in the corner, "The two bastards picked it secretly."
"Damn, I told you earlier. It turns out it's you. I'll leave the mountain behind to you. Come back with me later to pick all you can."
"Really?" Ye Chenghu thought he was going to be scolded, but he didn't expect such a good thing, so he ran out of the house happily.
"Sister-in-law, don't regret it!"
Aguang smiled evilly, "Just don't regret it!"
"Certainly not!"
The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. This little guy was busy working despite the strong sun. No one else had time to hide.
Lin Xiuqing was speechless, "You are not allowed to go now. You can only go when the sun is about to set."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the sun. Brother-in-law, let's go for a walk, let's go quickly..." Ye Chenghu hurriedly dragged Ah Guang away before his buttocks got hot, for fear that his mother would leave him behind if it was too late.
Ye Chengyang shouted from behind and wanted to follow, but Ye Yaodong held him back, "Don't go, just eat watermelon at home and have a good time, your brother ***!"
"elder brother***?"
"Well, your brother ***, let's go and cut the watermelon and eat it.".
