Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 122 Laozhang is full of fruit trees

  After Ye Yaodong returned from the sea the next day, he heard that the two families had already started the funeral.

  He shook his head, the world is impermanent, no one can say for sure.

  He deliberately kept two big bass and two big blue crabs, as well as some crabs, prawns, and sword prawns, and took them back. Today's harvest is pretty good.

  Lin Xiuqing smiled when she saw it, "Why do you keep so much?"

   "It's rare to go back and get more. Anyway, I got it online. I'll take a shower. After the shower, we'll go to the entrance of the village and wait for the passing bus. We'll deliver it early while it's fresh."

   "Well, I have bought mooncakes and pig's knuckles."

  Sister-in-law Ye smiled and said, "It's convenient to have a boat. You can keep whatever you want. You can keep everything, and you can send it back to your mother's house."

   "What do you say, as if we have lost you?" Mother Ye raised her eyelids unhappily, and gave Sister Ye a sideways look.

  Second Aunt Ye suddenly smiled awkwardly, "No, I didn't mean that either."

  Sister-in-law Ye smiled and said: "Two days ago when we sent the Mid-Autumn Festival, my mother also left two perch, but Ah Qing kept it herself."

  Lin Xiuqing smiled, "You are close to your mother's house, and you will be there in a few steps. I am far away from my mother's house, so it is rare to go back. The last time I went back was when tea was picked in March, so I prepared more."

  Mother Ye nodded, "Sure, say hello to my in-laws when I go back, and ask him to come over to have fun when he moves."

"OK."

  Ye Yaodong also heard their voices when he was taking a bath, and he just wanted to say that women are troublesome, so it's good to have a separate family, and there is no need to listen to gossip about the distribution problem, and it will be good for each family to live with each other.

After he took a quick battle bath, he carried a bucket of seafood, a basket of pig's feet, moon cakes and canned food, and the ten catties of rice wine that Ye's mother asked them to bring before leaving, while Lin Xiuqing held a Take one, and the family of four walks directly to the side of the road at the entrance of the village.

  If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't afford it, Mother Ye originally planned to let them bring a twenty-pound one.

  Lin Xiuqing's natal family is in Anhe Township, Jinjia Township. It takes about half an hour by car from their village, and another half hour after getting off the car.

   If you walk on two legs, it will be far away.

  Lin Xiuqing originally wanted to walk back, and she always walked back, but Ye Yaodong had to listen to him if he wanted to take the car.

   It’s not empty-handed, but you can barely walk. With a few kilograms of things and two children, you can walk on the mountain road for two or three hours without being exhausted? Children are uncomfortable, and it is not bad for the one or two cents of the fare.

  The family of four wandered around for half an hour before getting off the bus at their destination. This was only in Jinjia Town. If they went to Anhe Township, there is no special bus opened yet. If they want to take a car, they have to wait for the passing tractor on the side of the road.

   But whether they can get in the car is a matter of luck, and the two of them can't just wait there. If there is no tractor to go to their village today, isn't it a waste of time to wait?

  After getting out of the car, they carried their things and walked with their children on two legs.

  The two boys are usually mischievous, but they are also sensible at critical moments, and they don't lose their temper like crying or tired.

  Ye Yaodong was afraid that the elder son would not be able to take the long walk, so he stopped and walked, and carried him for a while from time to time.

   At this time, it is really too difficult to travel far. In many places, you can only walk on two legs.

   After walking hard for half an hour, they arrived at their village. People they met on the road greeted Lin Xiuqing one after another.

  Lin Xiuqing also responded with a smile.

  The news in the village circulated very quickly. Before they got home, someone they knew had already notified Lin's father and Lin's mother.

  Mother Lin hugged her grandson with a smile on her face, and Lin Xiuqing was relieved. It was too tiring to take the child out. Usually, she was alone on two legs, and she didn't feel so tired after walking back and forth that day.

   "Ah Dong is here too? Go home and sit down and have a rest. Are you exhausted after walking such a long distance? You came here when you said you came, why did you bring so many things?"

  Ye Yaodong smiled, "It should be, I haven't been here for a long time."

   "Your family is busy. Some time ago, I heard that you are going to sea and building a house. If you don't have time, you don't use it. It doesn't matter. It's not someone else, it's your own home."

   "I will definitely come back to send the Mid-Autumn Festival."

  Father Lin also smiled happily, and helped him carry things, "Go in and sit down and say, let's take a rest."

  The neighbors saw it at the door, and they all looked around. What did they bring? Some followed them to the door of their house.

   What's more impolite is that some people even reached out and lifted the cloth covering the basket and bucket to find out.

  The rural areas are so careless.

   I really answered that sentence, as long as you are not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else.

  Ye Yaodong really felt embarrassed at this moment!

   Fortunately, he prepared enough things to meet people, and he could also save some face for his father-in-law by the way.

  Father Lin and mother Lin heard the folks talking about how lucky they are, their daughter and son-in-law are so filial, the smile on their faces deepened, and they were beaming.

  As soon as they entered the house, Mother Lin immediately went to light the fire and cook snacks for them, while Father Lin and the two brothers-in-law chatted with Ye Yaodong.

  The questions are all about going to sea, is the harvest good? The typhoon is coming, will it have any impact on their home? Is the house built yet?

  Ye Yaodong simply told them, and by the way told them about the move on the 20th day of the lunar calendar, and invited them to have housewarming wine when they arrived.

Lin's father and his two brothers-in-law saw that he did not look like he used to be a fool, and he looked more calm, so they were completely relieved. It turned out that it was not their illusion some time ago, but he had really grown up. Still in the right place.

  Looking at how happy they were talking, Lin Xiuqing felt relieved.

  In the past, they didn't have much to say. They asked and answered, and then fell silent after answering, creating an awkward atmosphere.

  Mother Lin served the dim sum after cooking, and said with a smile: "Don't talk for now, let Ah Dong and Ah Qing have dim sum first, it's already past the meal time, they must be starving."

   "Yes, you guys eat first and talk later."

  Mother Lin cooks longevity noodles with a lot of dried shrimps, lean meat, pork liver, mushrooms, black fungus, two poached eggs, and rice wine. It looks very fragrant and appetizing.

   There are guests from their local family. The dim sum is longevity noodles boiled in rice wine, and two poached eggs are fried. Other ingredients are added according to the situation.

   "Feed Yangyang to me, Chenghu let him eat by himself, you eat yours, I just bought pork liver and lean meat today, you eat more, if not enough, there is still in the pot."

   "Enough, enough."

  The couple are really hungry. They arrived here after eating porridge in the morning, and it took a long time to wait for the bus.

  Father Lin said at the side: "Fortunately, I haven't gone out yet. I wanted to go to the mountain to pick persimmons. I wasted a little time by weaving two bamboo baskets. I just heard that you are here."

   "It's better to come early than coincidentally." Mother Lin also said with a smile.

  Ye Yaodong said while eating: "Are you going to pick persimmons on the mountain? I'll go with you later."

   "No, no, just those two persimmon trees, I can pick them by myself. You have walked a long way and are exhausted, so just lie down at home and have a rest."

  The son-in-law came to the house as a spoiled guest, so Father Lin had the nerve to order him to work.

   "It's okay, we came here by car, and we walked a short distance, anyway, we are idle."

   "It's really unnecessary..."

  Lin Xiuqing interrupted her father, "It doesn't matter, let him go, anyway, he can't be idle, and he likes to do this kind of thing if he goes up and down all day."

   "Ah...hehe...well, then after you finish eating, we will go to the mountain to pick persimmons, and I will bring them back for you to eat. You will stay at home for two days, right?"

  Father Lin didn’t dare to ask just now. Before, the daughter came back alone. She returned in the morning and didn’t stay for a few hours, and rushed back in the afternoon. This time it was rare for the couple to come back with their children and wanted to keep them for two days.

  Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "Yes, I just have free time during this time, so I can stay for two nights before going back, and I won't miss the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th."

  Father Lin and Mother Lin were satisfied.

   "I didn't prepare any dishes today. Tomorrow we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival early, and we will call your eldest sister back to have fun. Your younger sister's village on the east road of the town is far away, so I won't call her."

"OK."

After eating, Ye Yaodong took his eldest son, followed by his father-in-law, his two brothers-in-law who were idle, and two boys from his family who were not yet old enough to study, a large group of people headed up the mountain .

  Father Lin told everyone that his son-in-law was going to the mountains to help them pick persimmons...

  Ye Yaodong could only smile awkwardly from the sidelines.

  Father Lin worked diligently, planting fruit trees on half of the hill and tea trees on half of the hill, in very neat rows.

At this time, among the mature fruit trees, there are two persimmon trees, more than a dozen grapefruit trees are planted, but it is still a little while before they mature, and orange trees are planted with bitter mandarin, which is the most planted, but it will not be until November. Mature.

   There are also loquats, plantains, mulberries, watermelons, peach trees, red bayberries, etc. Some of them are in large quantities, and some only plant two or three trees to satisfy the children at home.

  Every time the fruit is harvested, Father Lin will also find time to send it to Baisha Village depending on the situation. Ye Yaodong has not eaten less in the past, but this is the first time he has come to their family's fruit mountain.

  Looking at the well-arranged rows of fruit trees, he couldn't help admiring the diligence of his father-in-law's family. In this era when everything depends on manpower, the entire mountain is actually full of trees.

  Many trees are still full of fruit, the bitter orange tree is full of fruits, and the grapefruit tree is also full of pomelo, but it is not yet time to pick.

  Father Lin stood at the foot of the mountain, smiling and showing him what kind of fruit was planted everywhere.

   "Father, you are so powerful, the whole mountain is full of fruit trees."

   "We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you rely on the sea to eat the sea. If you work harder, you won't starve to death."

   "Yes." He nodded with a smile.

   "They don't like to eat persimmons, and I don't have any varieties. There are only two trees, but they bear a lot of fruits. The whole big tree is covered with persimmons. When the time comes, I have to climb up to pick them."

   "It's okay, leave it to me and the two elder brothers and the second elder brother when the meeting is high."

   "We brought long hooks."

  Father Lin smiled and led them up the mountain.
