Chapter 29
On the day before New Year's Eve, many things were placed in the Ye family's living room.

Father Ye asked: "An'an, have you counted everything? If it's done lightly, we'll go out."

Mother Ye was arranging her clothes, and she said indifferently, "Okay, how many times have you asked me, are you still worried about what I do?"

Looking at Mother Ye who was concentrating on arranging clothes, Father Ye really didn't understand what is the use of arranging a piece of clothing after putting it on?It seems that nothing has changed!And won't she still have to change it when she goes out later?
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Father Ye directly greeted them to go out.

Ye Mingzhi, Ye Minggao, and Ye Minghui picked up their things consciously.

Seeing that his elder brother and younger brother's hands were full and even their father was carrying a lot of things, Ye Huan wanted to help them share a little, but everyone refused.

Father Ye said: "Boys should do more things. If you are girls, you should rest first!"

Ye Huan said: "Dad, have you forgotten how strong I am? It's no different for me to carry this little thing than to not carry it!"

Speaking of his daughter's strength, Father Ye felt a little headache, after all, none of the relatives he knew had such strength!

But at least Father Ye is very thankful that his daughter is strong, at least she is not afraid of accidents, and has the ability to protect herself when encountering things, so that she will not be in a passive position.

Seeing her support, Ye's father shared some with her, and Ye's mother cared a few words, but she didn't say anything when she was determined to do so. As for Ye Jingwen, it is even more impossible to talk to Ye Huan now.

After tidying up, Father Ye took a group of people to drive the car.

My hometown is in the Red Star production team located in Qishilidi, the capital. It used to be called Dashan Village, and later it was renamed the Red Star Production Team.

The Red Star production team is backed by a continuous mountain with lush vegetation and rich animal species. The bad location is that it is not close to the water source, resulting in low planting yield.

But fortunately, the back mountain is rich in resources, and people have never starved to death.

Ye Dagen is Ye Dagen, who used to be a soldier. He was injured and had no choice but to go back to his hometown. Later, he married a wife. His spouse, Grandma Li, is not a simple person. Because of her husband’s position, she sent food to the Red Army and helped They have mended clothes, and both husband and wife have been commended, so they have a lot of prestige in the Red Star production team.

In addition, the eldest son is the captain of the Red Star production team, the second son is a soldier, and the fourth son works in a supply and marketing cooperative. It may be that two of the family are from the city, and the other is directly in charge of them. There is a lot of respect in the village.

The two old people usually live in the old house, not because they don't want to live with the eldest son's family, and they firmly believe that the smell is far away, and sometimes the atmosphere is more harmonious if they are farther apart.

The eldest son visits the old man almost every day, and the eldest daughter-in-law also brings some food to visit the old man from time to time, and sometimes instigates her son to clean up, collect water, and chop firewood for their grandparents.

Because the other two sons are not around, they are given regular money, three yuan a month, plus some good things are sent back to the village from time to time. It can be said that the lives of the two old people are envied by many villagers.

I am in good health, my children are filial, and I don't have any troubles. It can be said that I am very obedient.

Because life is better than that of the eldest son's family, and the eldest son's family is filial, the old couple will subsidize the eldest son's family from time to time in private. After all, the eldest son's family is basically busy with things, and the other two sons I didn't say anything when I knew it. Anyway, it's their own if it's given to the elderly, and how to spend it depends on their own ideas.

Besides, I'm not at home, and I depend on my elder brother and sister-in-law for many things. What's the matter with some money? Every time the two of them return to the village, they will bring gifts to the elder brother's family.It can be said that even if they separated, their feelings for each other have not diminished.

It hadn't been long before he knew that his second son was coming back for the New Year. Ye Dagen, who was already in his 70s but still in good health, went out slowly to pick up someone at the entrance of the village.

The villagers I met on the road saw his wrinkled face and joked, "What kind of happy event did Grandpa Ye meet?"

Ye Dagen showed all his teeth in a smile, and said, "My second child is going back to the village today for the New Year. No, I haven't seen him for a long time. I think I'll wait for them at the entrance of the village."

"Oh, Uncle Wei Guo and his family are coming back!"

"Yes!"

"No wonder you are so anxious, Grandpa Ye. I have to say that there is no one in the Red Star production team who is better off than you, Grandpa Ye. As the old saying goes, you rely on yourself for the first half of your life and your children for the rest of your life. Grandpa Ye will have a lot of blessings in the future." Enjoy!"

Facing the compliments from the villagers, although Grandpa Ye said something, the smile on his face was getting bigger and bigger.

As soon as people get old, they expect their children to be filial. If nothing else, Grandpa Ye is very proud of his children's filial piety. Not only are his three sons filial, but even his married daughter brings her children back to visit them from time to time.

I also met many villagers on the road, and when they heard that Ye Weiguo and his family were coming back for the New Year, they all expressed their envy to Grandpa Ye.

From the perspective of the villagers, if they can live a life like Grandpa Ye's when they are old, then they really have nothing to worry about.

Grandpa Ye's status in the village is relatively respected, and his eldest son is the captain of the production team. Usually, when there are quarrels or major events in the village, he and several other old people are usually invited to preside over the overall situation.

Grandpa Ye has always done things fairly and justly, never biased because of friendship, so the village is very convinced of his handling.

Grandpa Ye saw that it was getting late and the meat would be divided later, so he told them to go early.

The custom on the first day of the new year is to kill pigs and divide the meat. After all, everyone wants to have a good year. In addition, they can get very few bills every year, and even fewer meat bills. during the New Year.

Of course, their production team is backed by mountains. If you have the ability to catch prey, even one or two, the people in the village will not say anything.

After all, this situation really can’t be eliminated. Of course, you can’t go too far on the bright side. It’s okay to steal one or two to eat.

Fortunately, there are no dangerous animals like big worms in their back mountain, so it's okay for you to catch a rabbit and a pheasant. (Reject wild game, the setting of the novel, don't take it seriously!)
The villagers are naturally eager to divide the meat. After all, a pig is so big, and there are naturally good and bad parts. Although the pork is divided according to work points, go early and choose the parts.

After bidding farewell to Grandpa Ye, he hurried to the place where the pigs were slaughtered.

The butcher had slaughtered the pig long ago. The pig's blood and internal organs were not thrown away. They put them in a basin and put them aside. The pork was also divided according to different parts and placed separately.

Team leader Ye Baoguo and the scorekeeper are announcing the work points of each company.

Grandma Ye also appeared with a smile on her face, holding a basin.

Grandma Ye didn't jump in the line just because her son was the team leader. She naturally stood behind the line and talked about what happened nearby with other old women in the village.

Needless to say, there are many things going on!Now that the weather is cold and there is no work, everyone is staying at home, and this person is prone to troubles when he is idle. Isn't there a few more interesting things around here?
Captain Ye Baoguo saw his mother coming, so he quickly asked the scorekeeper to help manage the situation, while he went to find his mother.
