Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 274 The Rat Club (Monthly Ticket Plus Ten)
The local winter solstice has the custom of offering sacrifices to stoves.

After rubbing the glutinous rice balls, Lin Xiuqing cooked the glutinous rice balls and put them in four bowls, put two bowls under the stickers of Zao Gong and Zao Po, and placed two bowls by the door.

There are also oranges and olives, Tianjin ingots, three cups of tea, three cups of rice wine, and two flowers in the incense burner.

There is a saying: "Oranges are round, olives are pointed, and Zaogong Zaopo will go to heaven after eating them."

In the past few years, the feudal superstition was broken, and the village did not dare to rectify anything. After the opening in the past few years, it has revived again, and some old customs have been slowly picked up.

After setting up all the things to be sacrificed, Lin Xiuqing lit 8 incense sticks, and after three prostrations, she put three sticks into the incense burner in front of Zao Gong Zao Po, still using her left hand to burn incense.

Then I went to the door, and there was already a small bamboo pole inserted next to the stool with two bowls of glutinous rice balls, and after praying three times, I inserted three more.

The remaining two are to be inserted by the door, one on the left and one on the right.

After finishing, she asked Ye Yaodong to set off firecrackers.

At this time, firecrackers sounded intermittently in the village.

Ye Chenghaixing next door hurriedly grabbed the job of setting off the firecrackers, but he didn't expect that when the firecrackers were set off, he didn't run too far, and the firecrackers directly exploded on his clothes, burning a hole.

This time it was over, and the noise of chickens flying and dogs jumping started again.

"It's a good thing I didn't say I'm going to set off firecrackers..." Ye Chenghu patted his chest and said happily.

Ye Yaodong patted the back of his head, "Come inside, let's eat."

After the meal, Lin Xiuqing took the Tianjin ingots that had been sacrificed for a long time to the door to burn, and put them in a small discarded iron pot. These days, the ashes left by the burning of gold ingots can be sold for money.

It will be burned on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve.

When it was dark and the incense was lit, Lin Xiuqing put away all the things and brought the pot of ashes into the house.

The two children were standing next to each other, waiting to eat, "Mother, are the olives ready to eat?"

They ate oranges every day some time ago, and they are no longer rare.

"Eat, eat."

"What about the glutinous rice balls?"

"Put some cabbage and shrimp in later, cook them in the pot again, and serve them as supper for you."

That's right... the glutinous rice balls are boiled and salty, and there is no filling inside, and the boiled salty ones are also delicious.

Both children nodded happily.

For two consecutive days, Ye Yaodong saw the two sister-in-laws looking worried all the time.

Are you worried now?
Fortunately, he stopped them from continuing, otherwise they would not be able to eat and fall asleep now.

In the past few days, there have been more gossips in the village. They are all guessing what kind of business Ye Yaohong is doing outside. Why did he beat someone when he heard that his wife had reported a ten thousand yuan household?Still beating so badly that you can't wait to leave the next day?
Although there were many people who speculated there before, there were few doubts in the words of the villagers, and most of them were envious. Now only some people who invested money took the initiative to speak for Ye Yaohong.

It won't work if you don't help talk, they all invested money, if something happens, it will really cry.

Helping to speak can also bring me some psychological comfort, although in fact I am quite uncertain.

What's more likely is that everyone regretted it in their hearts, and they still insisted on it.

Ye Yaodong wandered around the village as a morning exercise, and then went home for dinner, when the postman was delivering the newspaper, he just picked it up.

During this period of time, he has developed a good habit of reading the newspaper every morning. Even if he goes out to sea, he will read the newspaper of the day when he comes back at night.

As he walked into the house, he opened the newspaper, and the eye-catching headlines surprised him every time.

"The first case of corruption in reform and opening up!"

"XXX death penalty!"

Is this the start of a crackdown on the "smuggling tide"?

After the re-opening, the land that had been silent for a long time suddenly opened its doors. At that time, a lot of waste was waiting to be done, but people were full of expectations and expectations for the future. Therefore, in terms of living expenses, everyone no longer only considered food and clothing as before, but also began to pursue tricks and trendy.

But the embarrassing thing is that there was a shortage of various daily necessities at that time, such as black and white TV sets, VCRs, watches, motorcycles, etc. Many of which were not available for money, so many criminals saw "business opportunities".

Therefore, the southeast coast is crazy.

"Workers don't work, farmers don't farm, students don't go to class, and cadres don't engage in self-interest".Even pornographic video tapes are trafficked from overseas in some areas, and various (emotional) sensual venues are secretly growing rapidly.

He stopped in his tracks, and browsed roughly, until Lin Xiuqing called him several times in a row, calling him to have breakfast, and then he slowly walked to the table again.

"What are you looking at, you're still so fascinated."

"The first corruption case after the re-opening was publicly heard yesterday, and today it will be directly published in the People's Daily. You eat first, and I will read it first."

Lin Xiuqing said indifferently: "What does it matter to us? We are just ordinary people, why do you care so much? You can't read all the words, and you can't leave the newspaper all day long."

"Hey...don't make a noise...let me take a look..."

He also deliberately turned his back to her.

But after a while he turned his head again, "What is this word?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "Don't you still think I'm nagging? Now you're asking me again."

"Oh, tell me, what word is this?"

"The violence of huge profits!"

"understood."

"Hey, wait..." Lin Xiuqing grabbed his sleeve again, "There is a saying along the coast of Guangdong Province: No matter what new car arrives in Hong Kong today, it will appear on our streets tomorrow..."

"I'll take a look first, you eat yours, and I'll show you later."

Ye Yaodong turned around and continued to watch.

Lin Xiuqing had to feed the baby first.

After he read it back and forth twice, he put down the newspaper and didn't bother to read the contents of other sections.

In his previous life, he only heard that smuggling along the coast was crazy in the past ten years after the opening, but he couldn't read and didn't pay much attention to current affairs, so he didn't know it was really so crazy.

No wonder Lin Jishang's family was so rich in their previous life, they were the richest man in the village.

It is estimated that it will be collected in the future, right?

I also want to ask him to build a net lifting machine, but I don't know if it will be a good idea. At present, heavy industry is mainly developed, and turbines are not yet popular, and small boat fishermen basically rely on manpower.

This can only be said later, anyway, he will not go out to sea a year ago, and at least wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the next year.

Seeing huge profits, it is false to be indifferent.But he didn't have any big ambitions in the first place, and he had no big ambitions in his two lifetimes. He only thought about his wife and children being hot on the bed, and he would be happy if he got rich.

Greedy thoughts are only temporary.

Thinking about it, I am not bad at earning money by working hard for the past few months. There is no need to take risks.

Why bother? Could it be that he was reborn just to get in and curl the wool?
It's good to be on the right track.

Although he is a person who sometimes acts foolishly and is a little less serious, his three views are still upright.

After Lin Xiuqing finished feeding the child, she picked up the newspaper next to him and read it. After reading it, she whispered, "Isn't it Linji?"

She poked at the newspaper...

"Shh... as long as you know, don't say it."

She was very confused when she delivered the watch to their family and talked a lot with her man like a fool.

Then she saw that he was always delivering sewing machines and bicycles in the middle of the night, and she was overwhelmed in her heart, but she didn't ask.

"No wonder it involves such a wide range of profits, and they are all traded in silver dollars. It can only be blamed for the lack of supplies now, and many people have money and have no place to spend it."

"Well, just take a look, it's none of our business. It should be Chinese New Year, so they were executed before the year, and they will definitely be severely cracked down."

Speaking of this, he thought of Ye Yaohong again.

I don't know what he has collected so much money for?Can't just hold it in your hand, spend it?
"Why did the man in the hall you mentioned spend so much money? Could he be smuggling too?"

"It's hard to say, let's see."

He took the newspaper back and planned to look at other sections, but saw a corner saying that a "rat club" had appeared in the Wanwan area, reminding the people to be more vigilant and not to be deceived.

What the "rat club" fears most is the break of the capital chain. As long as the capital chain continues, they can cheat new money to pay old debts.

What's the use of leaving only a small section in the newspaper?

Now there are many illiterates, and not everyone can subscribe to newspapers, and the money of uneducated rural people is best cheated.

Ye Yaohong's behavior is almost like a rat club. Fortunately, he has a "smart" wife, otherwise there may be more unlucky people in the village.

After knowing it in his heart, he didn't intend to report it either.

It is estimated that if the village committee sees the mouse club in this issue of the newspaper, they should know it in their hearts, and if they think about it, they can match the number and know that they have been cheated.

Normal loan, who gives such a high interest?
It was just a small-scale publicity by Mrs. Ye before, and no one in the village committee paid much attention to it. Everyone was not so busy, but the incident of the ten thousand yuan household a few days ago was undoubtedly another advertisement for Ye Yaohong.

He was in the limelight, more people gave him money, and of course there were more discussions in the village, and on the cusp of this crisis, it was difficult for the village committee to think about it.

Sure enough, someone from the village committee went to Ye Yaohong's house that afternoon to find out about this matter, but was stopped by Ye Yaohong's mother.

In the end, of course, they didn't stop her. As soon as the village committee entered the room, they were surprised by Mrs. Ye Datang who was lying in bed.

The bruised nose and swollen face could tell from the severe beating. I heard that the eldest daughter was taking care of her for the past two days, and one side of the eldest daughter's face was also swollen by the slap.

The younger ones, I heard that they were running wild outside at that time, but they didn't know anything, and they were not beaten.

The injury that was still covered by Ye Yaohong's mother was exposed all of a sudden.

Even the three words "rat society" spread throughout the village, and some people who invested money jumped up in anger, came to the door to insult them, and forced them to pay back the money...

Sitting at home, Ye Yaodong could hear the whole village erupting.
