Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 13 Who Provides for the Elderly

  The noon meal is sweet potato porridge!

  There are a lot of people in the family, how can I afford to eat dry rice every day, and I have to add a lot of shredded sweet potatoes to eat porridge.

  As for why it is not sweet potato rice, it is because the shredded sweet potato is easier to preserve, and it can be eaten for more than half a year when shredded. It can be cooked with rice to save a little rice, and it tastes good and sweet.

  Of course, this sweet taste is Ye Yaodong's feeling. The whole family is already tired of eating sweet potato rice/sweet potato rice, so why would they think it is sweet, and it would be good if it can fill their stomachs.

  Because there is no separate family, there are many people in the family, and the portions of the dishes are very large. The vegetarian dishes are grown in their own backyard, and the seafood is left after trawling the net yesterday afternoon.

   A pile of small fish is worthless. I killed and dried the dried fish yesterday, leaving a few slightly larger braised fish.

Three-eyed crabs are also not accepted at the pier. If you eat too much, you will be allergic and itchy all over. No one will buy it, but it is impossible to throw it back into the sea. There are too many and they can’t finish it. It stinks, relatives, friends and neighbors gave away some when I came back yesterday.

  Adults eat two or three. It’s okay if you don’t eat more, so don’t eat it for the elderly and children.

   Another dozen swimming crabs were left, which the child could eat.

   There is also a bowl of small sword shrimp, a bowl of sea melon seeds dug in the morning, this is mixed, boiled in boiling water, picked up, seasoned and a little pepper, delicious and fuel-efficient...

   There is also fried sea oysters that the whole family loves!

  He also likes it. He spent a long time opening spats on the stone wall. The old saying is also called sea oyster hunting.

  As soon as he sat down, before he had a bite to eat, he first went to fry the sea oysters, and if he didn’t pick them up, they would be gone. How could I not eat them after digging so hard, this is a good thing for ammunition.

   "Aww~ Third Uncle, take a small piece and save a piece for me~"

   "Haven't you had enough? It depends on you sticking your chopsticks towards this bowl of fried sea oysters." Ye Yaodong picked up a chopstick himself, and he didn't forget to pick up a chopstick, and put it in his wife's bowl.

  She hasn't even sat down to eat yet. When she sits down, there will be decent dishes.

  Lin Xiuqing looked at his rare behavior, and her eyes became gentle, but she was not willing to eat, so she took the fried sea oyster to her eldest son and fed him.

   Sea oysters are not easy to fish, and it takes a long time to open a bowl. It is not available every day, one meal at noon and one meal at night, and there may not be tomorrow.

   "Third uncle didn't eat less!"

  Ye Yaodong gave his eldest nephew Ye Chenghai a look, "I can't eat the oysters I hit!"

   "What's the fuss about eating?" Mother Ye knocked on the plate, and they all shut up.

   Today's dishes are rare so rich, no one wants to talk, everyone is full of enthusiasm and eats hard.

  In the past, there were only one or two bowls of shellfish, or fish and a few vegetarian dishes, but today there are crabs, shrimps, fish, and shells!

  After all, the family also has a boat, and they earned a lot of money yesterday, so it is only right that they eat a lot today.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Father Ye said, "I just went to the commune to apply for land to build a house, and I have already discussed it inside, and I approved it at the intersection to the beach. Come build a house."

  Their village is near the sea, and there are not many fields that can be cultivated. The allocated fields are at the handover position with the neighboring Dongqiao Village.

  The two villages are also very close to each other, but the village of Dongqiao Village is smaller, with only about 100 households, and their village is not near the sea, but by the road, so every time the tide goes out, they go to Baisha Village to catch the sea.

  The villagers of Baisha Village are also very familiar with the villagers of Dongqiao Village. There are many intermarriages in the two villages. Ye Yaodong's grandmother is from Dongqiao Village.

  After listening to Ye's father, Ye Yaodong didn't respond, and still ate his food, because he also bought this land in his previous life, and the three brothers' houses were built next to each other.

  He lived there until his death.

  Just because he is indifferent doesn’t mean that other people are too. They are about to have a little family of their own, and everyone is quite excited.

   Second Aunt Ye said excitedly: "That piece of land is pretty good, it's close to the beach, just walk straight to the end!"

   "Is it building a third house, Dad?" Aunt Ye frowned, but was a little worried.

   It stands to reason that two houses are enough, and one son lives with his parents and takes care of the elderly.

  However, who doesn't want to live in a new house to live their own lives, and Mrs. Ye also has selfish intentions. If only two houses are built, then the eldest house must be the one who stays in the old house.

  Ye Yaopeng looked at his wife incomprehensibly, "Why do you want three suites, two are enough."

  Men's nerves are relatively rough, not to mention, Ye Yaopeng thinks that he is the boss, and it is normal for his parents to follow him for the elderly, so he can't follow the third child who is out of tune, right?

  Ye Yaodong looked at the reactions of his two sister-in-laws, curled his lips ironically, his two elder brothers were both nice people, but the two sister-in-laws had their own selfishness, and neither was as grand as his wife.

  In his previous life, he ran away after eating and didn’t come back at noon. He didn’t know the direction of the matter. When he came back at night, he heard that the family would build three houses, one for each of the three brothers.

   You can take a look at it now!

  Sister-in-law Ye didn’t dare to say how to divide the two sets after hearing what Ye Yaopeng said, who would stay for the elderly, if she said that, he would be in a hurry with her!

  Ye Yaohua is a fool, he smiled and said: "Father, whoever you plan to live with, we will stay with you to raise... Hiss~ why are you pinching me..."

   Second Aunt Ye glared at him, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb, and the house hasn't been built yet, so you're in a hurry to separate?"

  Although the words are beautiful, who is not like a mirror among the people present? Can't you understand that she doesn't want to live in the old house with her in-laws?

  Father Ye looked at the little thoughts of his daughters-in-law, and didn't intend to hide them. He asked straight to the point: "Which one of you plans to stay for the elderly?"

   "Father, it depends who you want to live with. I am the boss, so you and mother should live with us."

  Ye Laoer also nodded, "Yes, father, if you and mother want to follow us to take care of the elderly, it's fine."

  Second Sister Ye forced a smile with an unattractive complexion, "My parents are only in their early fifties, so where do they need to take care of themselves?"

  Sister-in-law Ye also hurriedly said: "Yes, my father and mother are still very strong, and they can work for at least ten or twenty years, so how can they retire..."

   "So you all don't want to?" Father Ye's face darkened.

   "Where, how..."

Without waiting for the two sister-in-laws to refute, Ye Yaodong put one foot on the chair, and said foolishly: "Father, the two sister-in-laws are not willing, my wife is willing, and I am willing too. Why don't we stay with you and mother? Grandma together?"

  Lin Xiuqing was also quite a man at this time, nodded sincerely and said: "Father and mother come with us!"

  The old lady agreed happily, "Okay, Dongzi will live with us."

   "Pull it down, live with him, is he raising me, or am I raising him?"
