Chapter 517 Mid-Autumn Festival
Early the next morning, the couple sent away their eldest son, who was pouting and reluctant to go to school, and then sent their younger son to Father Ye. Then they took Ye Xiaoxi, who was more than five months old, with him. A load of things went to the roadside to wait for the bus.
If he wasn't afraid that the old lady was slow and couldn't stand Ye Chengyang, he could just let him follow the old lady.
Fortunately, Ye Yaodong prepared a bunch of snacks for him to eat, and he ate them well without crying.
Just as they were going out, they met a few relatives on the road and said they wanted to stop by their house.
The couple simply laughed and refused, saying they were going back to their parents' home and turned it down.
Father Lin and Mother Lin originally thought that Ye Yaodong hadn't come back, Ah Qing couldn't get away with the children, and they didn't plan to come over during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Unexpectedly, it was almost noon, and they were notified by their neighbors that they had come over with their children packed in bags.
The two of them ran out happily and saw the couple walking over from a distance.
"When did A Dong come back? We all thought you hadn't come back for the holidays..."
"Why don't you come back for the holidays? I came back the night before yesterday."
Father Lin quickly said: "What does it matter if you can't make money to survive the holidays? Making money is important..."
"No, I just finished my work, so I came back quickly, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ye Yaodong explained quickly.
Mother Lin also said with a smile: "What are you talking about at the door on a hot day? There are so many people around to watch. Hurry up and have a drink of water and rest. You must be exhausted after walking such a long way. Look at Xiaojiu You’re all so hot that you’re sweating profusely and your face is red. Go in first and don’t stand outside talking.”
"Ah, yes, yes, come in quickly. We won't talk until we get in. The sun is strong outside..." Father Lin quickly came to his senses after being reminded by Mother Lin, and then hurriedly helped to get the things.
"Why did you bring so many things here in big and small bags? Didn't I tell you not to bring these things when you come here in the future? Every time you come back, you bring a lot of dry goods. We can't finish them all..."
"These are not dry goods. They are specialties I brought back from Zhejiang Province. I brought some here for you to try. It just happens to be in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival as a gift. There are still a few meters of fabric in the sack. You can make two pieces of clothing yourself. A few finished pieces of clothing…”
Ye Yaodong said as he walked into the house. When he heard this, his father and mother Lin's eyes widened and they were heartbroken.
"Why did you buy so many things? It costs a lot of money. Isn't this hundreds of dollars? Oh my god..."
"Why are you spending money so recklessly? How long will it take to earn... so much money... why are you willing to spend it like this? Ah Qing doesn't care..."
"Take it back quickly, or take it back later and return it later. We won't need it. We are either working in the mountains or in the fields. Buy us some fabrics and clothes..."
Ye Yaodong was too lazy to explain. It was enough to explain to the elders at home. He gave Lin Xiuqing a look and asked her to tell her parents.
Lin Xiuqing interrupted her parents' distressed words, "These are not bought with money..."
She explained the origin of the things to her parents, but the two elders were still distressed.
"Why don't you just sell it... can you sell it for a lot of money?"
"After selling, these are the ones left that no one wants." Ye Yaodong said simply.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him angrily, how could she say that, "These are specially reserved for you. Most of them have been sold. You don't have to feel bad. I haven't sent anything here all year round. You always send me rice." , send rapeseed oil, fruits and vegetables..."
Father Lin waved his hand, "The things produced in these fields are not worth much. Anyway, they are all grown by me..."
"He picked it up anyway..."
…
Ye Yaodong had a headache as he listened to their back-and-forth talk. He was always pushy and hesitant when sending something back. The same was true for his elders and Aqing's family. He still stood at the door to blow the air. Her parents asked her to do it by herself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stood at the door, I saw a group of children running back with backpacks on their backs.
"Oh? Is this the end of school?"
"Uncle-in-law, uncle-in-law..." Lin Guangyuan's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Yaodong, he ran faster and shouted louder.
"Sister-in-law..."
"School is over? Why are you so dirty?"
"My eldest brother just got into a fight with someone after school and beat them up." The eldest niece behind her quickly complained loudly.
Lin Guangyuan glared over, "Don't talk nonsense, I accidentally dropped it."
Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, "Is it true that you are now the oldest in the school, and then you naturally become the tyrant on campus?"
Lin Guangyuan smiled awkwardly, and then quickly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, when did you come back? My dad and the others said two days ago that you would definitely not be able to come back in time for the holidays."
"Well, I just came back."
After he finished speaking, he dug into his pocket and handed two electronic watches, one blue and one pink, prepared in advance to Lin Guangyuan and Lin Dongxue.
One is the eldest nephew, the other is the eldest niece, or a future college student. Of course, each of them has to share one, regardless of the smaller ones.
Anyway, these two, one is from the elder brother-in-law's family, and the other is from the second brother-in-law's family, which is fair.
When the two saw the electronic watch, they shouted out in surprise, "Watch!"
"Is this for us?"
"if not?"
"Wow! Brother-in-law, you are great!" After receiving the confirmation, Lin Guangyuan almost jumped to the sky with joy.
Lin Dongxue also excitedly held the pink watch tightly, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind, you actually gave us a watch?"
The two of them were so excited. The surprise came so suddenly, and they felt like fireworks were automatically starting to set off in their heads.
The other children were extremely envious when they saw it, and they also surrounded Ye Yaodong and kept calling him uncle.
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "You are still young and don't need it yet. We will talk about it later."
The smiles on the children's faces suddenly fell, and they looked disappointed.
"However, there is no watch. There are other delicious foods in the house. You can go in and get them."
In an instant, everyone was no longer disappointed and ran faster than a rabbit. Lin Guangyuan and Lin Dongxue were still standing in front of him, holding their watches fondly.
"Uncle-in-law, this watch seems to be very expensive..." Lin Dongxue hesitated while holding the watch. She wanted to give it back, but was reluctant to give it back. In the end, she gritted her teeth and stuffed it into his arms.
"You can either give it to my sister-in-law, or take it and return it. I'm still young and can't use it."
Ye Yaodong looked at her in surprise, and then looked at the watch in front of him. He knew that his eldest niece was smart, but he didn't expect that he was quite sensible and willing to give up. No wonder he was admitted to university and became the first college student in the village.
Lin Guangyuan felt distressed when Lin Dongxue returned it, but he also handed the watch he was holding on to gesture to him, "Sister-in-law..."
"Take them all. This is to encourage you to study hard. If your final exam results are not good, I will ask your parents to take it back and not give it to you."
"Ah! I will study hard! I will graduate from the third grade of junior high school." Lin Guangyuan took it back in a panic and was so happy that he immediately took it with him.
Lin Dongxue also nodded fiercely, "I will definitely study hard, thank you, uncle!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
"Why did school end so early? It's only after ten o'clock!"
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The teacher has given us a holiday in advance."
Now during the holidays, the teacher has the final say on how to use them. You can leave it for as long as you want, whenever you want, it's very free.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to stay for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"No, I'll go back in the afternoon. Both of your cousins are still at home."
"oh……"
Both of them were a little disappointed. They were very fond of their sister-in-law now.
The adults in the room heard from the children who had just ran in that Ye Yaodong gave Lin Guangyuan and Lin Dongxue each a watch, and they felt heartbroken again. They felt that he was too able to spend money and his hands were too loose.
They immediately wanted to go out and ask the two children to return them, but it was Lin Xiuqing who stopped them and gave them a good talk, so the two elders did not ask them to return them.
But after meeting Ye Yaodong, I couldn't help but talk to him again, telling him to save more money, save more money, and not give away things that can be sold for money.
Good elders are like this, they will feel sorry for you. Ye Yaodong was also very cooperative and humbly accepted the teachings, nodding his head all the time and saying okay, okay.
No matter what you think in your heart, you must be polite with your words and listen to your attitude.
Father Lin and Mother Lin were actually happy that their son-in-law valued them. Unlike before, they would not necessarily visit their home once a year.
Now even the children in the family like to hang around him and have been following him for most of the day. The younger ones are older than the younger ones. Even when they left, the younger ones were still reluctant to leave.
They kept chasing him to ask when he would come next, and when they could go to his place to play.
Ye Yaodong is also very happy. He feels that as an elder, he is becoming more and more competent and decent.
After comforting the children, he walked back and forth on the carrying pole, taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not set yet and there was still a car to go back.
When he arrived, his shoulders hurt from the load of goods inside, and now when he returned, the basket was also heavy.
This basket was filled with dried lettuce, dried cauliflower, dried radish, shredded sweet potatoes and other dried vegetables. The second elder killed two more chickens and ducks, and also took two jars of wild honey which he heard were wild honey, and gave them to them. Bring a big bucket of canola oil.
Why did he carry the load here in the morning? Now the second elder still filled the bamboo basket with him and asked him to carry it back full.
"What your parents have given us is really a truly heavy amount of love. You have to give us everything to take home."
"That's not good. I'm afraid you won't have food to eat. Anyway, I like vegetables, not fish."
"Tch, if you eat too many fish, you will be smart. No wonder you are so stupid."
"Yes, you are so stupid. I came all the way to marry into your family and kill more fish every day than others in their lifetime."
"Humph, the seaside is so nice, better than your mountains and valleys."
"Look down on Shangougou? You are still Haigougou."
"What a mess..."
One of the couple was holding the child, the other was carrying a burden, bickering and laughing all the way, while the setting sun stretched their backs longer and longer.
