Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 - Chapter 528
Since he washed his father’s feet with everyone, he never wants to wash his feet again.
Who said that children have a poor memory, he can remember it well, not to mention that when his father comes back to take off his shoes every day, he is very familiar with the smell, and he is already very satisfied with the food at home during this time, eat less A little apple is fine.
The old lady smiled and shook her head, “Stop teasing him, go take a shower, and I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles later.”
“You don’t need to cook it. I ate it on the boat not long ago. Let’s save my stomach for dinner.”
Ye Yaodong took a basin of warm water and went to the back door to take a bath, but seeing his two sister-in-laws weaving a net there, he felt a little embarrassed, so he had to bring the water to the front door again.
Just for a short while, he heard his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law complaining there, saying that there have been a lot of people coming to borrow money recently, both from her natal family and her husband’s family, and friends, all of whom have various difficulties.
Walking towards the front door with water in hand, I still heard the sound of the tail behind me…
“…Usually I don’t think there is any difficulty, but when I see others making money, I feel that I am in difficulty…”
“That is to say, it seems that if we don’t lend them money, they will have trouble living, and it is our fault…”
“It’s so annoying, I have to smile and talk with you when I come to borrow money.”
“It’s not bad for Ah Qing to raise a few dogs around a yard like this, no one dares to go…”
Ye Yaodong knew that during this time, from time to time, relatives went to the next door to borrow money? But I really didn’t know there were so many.
When he brought the water to the door to wash, he asked Ah Qing who was killing fish, “Have you borrowed a lot from our house recently?”
“No, there is no one. Some time ago, I was watching the children in the house anyway, and I didn’t even listen. My daughter-in-law from outside doesn’t know my relatives well. If there is something to ask them to find the elder sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law just says it.”
“In the past, few relatives came to our house all year round. We always went to our parents to talk about things, or to our elder brother’s house. Except for your friends or those who borrowed money or held meetings, few relatives came to our house. So this paragraph I pretended not to hear anyone who came to our house to call the door at time, and if there was something really important, they would call right at the door.”
“Um.”
The old lady also said: “It’s good to pass the limelight. In those few days, I sat at the door and pretended to close my eyes and sleep every day. I also pretended that I didn’t hear or see anything. If you want to be particular, just let them talk about it. Who hasn’t been paid attention to behind their backs?”
“No wonder they all ran to the next door. I heard my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law complaining there just now.”
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, “It’s true that they all ran next door to them.”
“People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Fortunately, my reputation is not good.”
“You know it too!”
“I’m called self-aware, isn’t that good? It saves a lot of trouble to keep up with the door cover. However, I feel that my reputation is turning around now.”
He frowned, as if distressed.
“It’s because you made money, and everyone saw your hard work. There’s nothing wrong with it. You weren’t as bad as everyone said, and those people didn’t understand.” The old lady was a little proud road.
“Yes, it is gold that always shines.”
“Yes, that’s what the old saying goes.”
Lin Xiuqing looked at the grandson and grandson speechlessly, one dared to praise, and the other dared to respond; one had a thick skin and felt good about himself, and the other felt that his grandson was good in everything, and they complemented each other quite well.
Just as their family was enjoying themselves, an unexpected guest came to the door.
I’m really afraid of what will come, the person who said there just now is coming to borrow money, now someone really came to the door.
Ye Yaodong was rubbing his buttocks when he saw the mouse looking at the door, and was immediately surprised.
Since he was reborn and came back to earn his first pot of gold, Awei was jealous and took the mouse away from them together, and they have no more contact.
In a group of friends in the previous life, there was someone who was better with another, and he was better with little Ah Zheng. Ah Wei lived close to the mouse, and he also walked close.
He didn’t say that he was very close to them, just average, so after alienation, he also felt that if he agrees, he will come, and if he doesn’t agree, he will leave. There are few friends who can be friends for a lifetime.
I just didn’t expect him to come to the door so suddenly today?
bother you for something.
The courtyard door was not closed when Ye Yaodong came back. Just as the man walked to the door and poked his head, the **** dog jumped out alertly, barking wildly, scaring the man back a few steps, staying far away and not daring to approach.
He frowned, and suddenly came to the door temporarily and didn’t know what was going on. It would be fine if he didn’t see it.
Throwing the half-scrubbed towel in his hand directly into the washbasin, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard and snorted the **** dog that had been barking there.
“What’s the matter, come in and talk!”
The mouse is small in stature, less than 1.7 meters, with a dark face, eyes that match his nickname, a pair of mouse eyes, slightly thick lips, very broad shoulders, but a slightly curved back, he looks ordinary Can’t be more ordinary.
He carried a basket in his hand, and followed Ye Yaodong with a smile.
“I’ve always heard that your dog is fierce, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
“Don’t be fierce, how do you watch the door?”
“Yes, huh…”
Ye Yaodong looked puzzled at him carrying a basket of firewood pears. Could it be that they came here specially to deliver them to him? I was far away just now, and I didn’t see what was in the basket.
“Sit down, what’s the matter, I haven’t seen it for a long time.”
Speaking of which, he also sat back in the armchair, and stretched his feet into the washbasin, picked up the wet towel in the washbasin, rubbed his thighs and calves casually, then wrung and dried his thighs and calves, and hung them behind his back on the armchair.
And he ordered Ye Chengyang, who had just finished rolling the wool, “Son, help me get the foot cloth hanging under the table in the house.”
Men are so rough, they don’t care about details, not to mention washing their thighs and calves, twisting the towel, and then sticking their feet in.
This towel is soaked with Hong Kong’s feet, and I will use it to wash my face tomorrow.
But anyway, I still know how to wipe my feet with a foot cloth, not to mention a towel from head to toe.
Lin Xiuqing watched curiously as his friend whom he hadn’t seen for a long time suddenly came to the door, caught a glimpse of his movement unexpectedly, and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Mouse came to the door cheekily carrying things, and felt a little awkward. He hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and he felt quite awkward when he came here today.
Looking at the old lady and Lin Xiuqing looking at him, he sat down and smiled awkwardly.
After watching his son go in, he said: “I haven’t seen you for a while, your little son seems to have grown a lot, and he is quite obedient. He looks very obedient and not mischievous.”
“It’s okay, the main reason is that all the brothers and sisters have gone to school, and he is the only one at home, no one is arguing with him, so he looks good.”
“It’s like this, children can’t quarrel without a company.”
“Um.”
The mouse pushed the basket at his feet towards him, “I planted two pears at home, and I picked a lot today, so I’ll bring you some for the children at home to taste, to moisten the lungs.”
Did he really bring pears to him?
Although he had already guessed it, he was still surprised. Did he plan to get back with them again?
Or seeing that he made a lot of money, came to please him specially?
Or is there a need for others?
Ye Yaodong thought for a while, but his face remained unchanged, and said with a smile: “Thank you very much.”
After all, there is no enmity or grievance. At that time, it was Ah Wei who was unbalanced and became a little more radical. He took him along to alienate everyone.
It’s just a few pears, he will accept it first, let’s see what he is going to do?
“Why are you being polite, anyway, it’s grown by my own family, so it’s not worth much money.”
Ye Yaodong nodded, not intending to take advantage of him, and while wiping his feet, he pouted towards Ah Qing, “The few baskets of balang fish I just brought back will be packed in a basket later, and I can add another dish at night.” .”
“Okay, I heard it when I came here just now. The village said you were amazing! It was said that the dolphins in front of the fish were almost swimming away, but you lured them back and surrounded your fishing boat. The fast ones followed suit and caught two nets.”
“It’s just a little trick. I also met a dead mouse when I was a blind cat. It’s not as exaggerated as everyone said.”
Mice seemed to have opened up the conversation, and the conversation became natural.
“A lot of people say that, and everyone is praising you. You have quite a lot of fishing experience now, and you know a lot.”
“Isn’t this because of doing too much? Naturally, if you do too much, you will have enough experience.”
“That’s different. There are many old fishermen in the village. Everyone says that you know more than them. They say that you are very powerful. You know what everyone doesn’t know.”
“Hehe, it just happened to happen.”
“Luck is also part of strength.”
Ye Yaodong listened to his compliment, smiled, didn’t say anything, just turned the washbasin over and poured the water directly on the ground.
“Son, take the washbasin in for me.”
Ye Chengyang rushed over to work again.
It’s so big, it’s best to handle it. When it gets bigger, it’s as big as Ye Chenghu, it’s probably not easy to call it.
The mouse changed the subject again, “The old lady seems to be in good health. I heard that you built an extra house a few months ago and took her over to take care of her.”
“Yeah, people like to be lively when they are old, and their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are here. She is also bored in the old house, and she can help take care of the children when she comes here.”
“Isn’t your father and mother the only two living in the old house? Why don’t you take them over together?”
“After taking over, the old house will be empty. This house is easy to run down if no one lives in it. We have a lot of money, and we don’t have the ability to build a building for them to live in.”
“Are you kidding me when you say this? Didn’t you just come back from making a lot of money?”
Ye Yaodong looked at him with a half-smile, “Do I have to spend it all at once when I come back from earning a lot of money? This money has to be used wisely. I plan to squeeze the money tightly, save more money, and retire early. It’s good that you don’t have to do it until you’re 40.”
“Uh… old age at 40?” Mouse was stunned.
Lin Xiuqing almost laughed out loud.
If this is a door-to-door borrower, the conversation will be blocked immediately.
“Yes, I think so, but I don’t know if I can make enough money to spend until I am 80 years old. But it doesn’t matter, if I don’t spend it until I am 80 years old, just let my son raise me. Raising a son is to prevent old age. “
Mice laughed twice, “It’s really you, and you can think about it until you’re 40.”
“Well, you can’t work until you’re 80, right?”
“Right.”
…
It’s a little stuck today, I will update it temporarily in the evening, and tomorrow’s update, let’s put it tomorrow, it’s gone at night
