Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

"Hehe, so Dad, you can do me a favor. You can plant the land at home and the fruit trees on the mountain and let them take care of them. Anyway, when you are old, you can go to the city to enjoy the blessings. You don’t have to worry about the work at home, I will still count your wages for you.”

  Father Lin was confused. He had been farming his whole life, but now that he was old, he asked him to visit the shop? Where will he look at what shop?

   "You should ask other people in your family, or who are your relatives?"

   "There is no suitable one. I don't know my relatives very well. I don't have you to make me feel at ease. And you are already at this age. You have enough experience and knowledge. You are more useful than anyone else."

   "I can't speak Mandarin...how is this..."

   "It doesn't matter. There are many people who can't speak Mandarin. They are everywhere. It's okay to make gestures and speak lamely. Anyway, it's good if you can understand the meaning."

Ye Yaodong continued his efforts, "I won't just put you there, I'll deliver the goods every few days, and if I have free time, I'll go over there for you for a few days. If you have anything to do and want to come back, it's convenient, just follow me. The cargo tractor will be back."

  Father Lin felt a bit of a headache. He never thought that he could sell goods in the city?

  Mother Lin didn't know what to say about this matter, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she could only look at this and that.

  Lin Xiuqing didn't know who to help, she also wanted her father to help, but she was also afraid that he would not be used to it.

   "Try it, Dad, just do me a favor..."

  Father Lin was a little bit hard to get off of what he said, so agree? He didn't know what to do in his mind; wouldn't he agree? He felt distressed and worried that his son-in-law's shop would be smashed into his hands, and 6,000 yuan was not a small sum.

   "I... Let me think about it... I don't know what to do, I haven't been to the county twice, let alone the city, how can I do this job well..."

   "Then you think about it slowly and think about it? Anyway, it will be a matter of the next year. At that time, I will try it for two days after the year. If it really doesn't work, I'm not used to it. I'll pick you up when the time comes?"

   "Uh... that... that's fine too. Then let's talk about it, at least wait until the New Year is over."

It's not good to go right away, Mother Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Our family will discuss it with ourselves first, and we will come back to you later. There is a lot of work in this family, and we have to explain everything if we really want to go to the city. Good. Although your father said that he eats more salt than you eat rice, but he has never traveled far, and he is very scared, so he has to think about it."

"Well, that's fine, don't worry about it. I'm just discussing with you. Dad can figure it out. If you really don't know what to do and don't want to go, I won't force it. Anyway, when the time comes, the notice will be posted there. Take your time." It’s fine to rent out.”

   "Okay, okay", Father Lin nodded with a smile, "Let's talk about it later, I have to talk to your elder brother and second brother."

  Ye Yaodong nodded, "Where are my two brothers-in-law? Why didn't you see them?"

  “They are still in the field. They need to turn over the field and replant some mustard greens. I will push the radish back first.”

"oh."

"You sit and bask in the sun first, and I'll go to the door to wash the radishes first, then cut them up and dry them in the sun. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I dried a bunch of shredded sweet potatoes, and today it's my turn to dry the radishes. If the weather is good, we have to dry some mustard greens to pickle the pickles.”

   "After finishing all the work in the field, I still have to wash the house and clean it up, invite people to butcher pigs, and prepare for the New Year. It's a day-to-day, and there is no free time. I am busy there for the whole month of the twelfth lunar month..."

  Father Lin babbled and walked towards the door, as if he was so busy that there were so many jobs at home waiting for him to do.

   Ye Yaodong followed him when he had nothing to do, planning to help out together.

   Lin Xiuqing was held back by Mother Lin, and continued to ask about the store. She was so distressed just now, and didn't dare to say anything in front of her son-in-law. Now she could only criticize her daughter severely.

  Lin Xiuqing just wanted to yell that she was wronged!

  Her man has made up his mind, what can she do?

   With a big boat of 13,000, she could only bite the bullet and follow him.

  However, she didn't dare to tell her parents about this for the time being, for fear that it would be too exciting all at once, and the ship would be delivered in two years, so it would be too late to talk about it then.

It is said that they are here to send off the new year, but the couple are also busy at the old man's house from morning to night, helping with the work. The old man is very diligent, and there are a lot of things planted in the field. In winter, as long as there is good weather, there will be Dry there all day long.

  Only two children are the most chic, some eat, some play, and some take.

  Ye Chenghu ran wildly all day and was so happy that he had already forgotten to remind his grandparents about secretly taking the New Year's money.

  Before he left, Mother Lin came out with three red envelopes from his pocket with a smile all over his face, and he felt a little bit in his heart. It was broken, and he forgot to explain.

  He reacted quickly and rushed forward to hold Mother Lin's hand, and walked into the house.

  Everyone was confused for a moment, what is he doing?

  Of course Lin Xiuqing also saw it, and hurriedly followed, "Ye Chenghu, what are you doing? You are not allowed to take red envelopes."

  Ye Chenghu's expression collapsed in an instant, even if he wanted to speak secretly!

   Alas, I lost my mind when I played, and made a mistake...

  He made a sullen face, and said depressedly: "I didn't take the red envelope, I just wanted to tell my grandma not to give it, and I will give it next year."

  Lin Xiuqing: Believe in him!

Lin's mother smiled all over her face, took one and stuffed it into the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, "Next year is next year, and this year is this year, children's new year's money is indispensable, so don't stop me. There are two more, one for Yangyang and one for Xiao Jiu."

"Need not…"

   "Take them all, and it's not for you, it's for the three children. It would be ugly if you go back empty-handed. Others should pay attention to our stinginess as grandparents. You can't ruin our reputation."

  Lin Xiuqing lowered her head and glanced at Ye Chenghu, who had been looking up at her.

  Ye Chenghu also took the red envelope out of his pocket and handed it to her very politely, "I don't want it."

   Anyway, it won't reach his pocket in the end!

  Give it back to his grandma, let her pay double next year even better! !

  Lin Xiuqing took it and stuffed it back into Mother Lin's hands.

  Mother and daughter pushed back and forth, from the house to the door, Ye Yaodong carried the child onto the bicycle and rode it himself, the two of them were still pushing...

  He has a headache.

   "Come on, come on, if you don't want it, then give it to me. It just so happens that I haven't received lucky money for many years."

  Mother Lin cheerfully put Lin Xiuqing aside, and handed the red envelope to Ye Yaodong, "Then you help the three children carry it, Ah Qing is too rude to push around."

   "Well, it's really too out of touch. I don't see out of the way. Give it to me in the future." Ye Yaodong accepted it happily.

   It doesn’t cost much, so what a waste of time pushing around?

  They found any opportunity to buy something, and they returned it. They were still pushing it for a long time, and it was enough to push it a few times. Then the sun was about to set.

  Lin Xiuqing was also amused by him.

   "Why are you so rude?"

   "How do you say that ancient saying? It's given by the elders, and you can't push it away. Yes, that's right, that's the sentence. Anyway, if you don't want it, just give it to me. It's okay if I feel embarrassed."

  Lin Xiuqing gave him a reproachful look.

   "Hurry up and get in the car, the sun is going down."

  Ye Chenghu looked at his father's behavior in a daze, so it's okay?

  The red envelopes they pushed back and forth, is it difficult for him to accept all of them?

  The door to the new world opened instantly, he wanted such embarrassment!

   That was originally his!

  Ye Chenghu looked at the red horn protruding from the pocket of his father's padded jacket, a little ready to move, but he didn't dare to reach out.

  He thought to himself, it seems better to give red envelopes to his father than to his mother? His father was willing to buy them delicious food, buy firecrackers to play with, and it was easier to get pocket money from his father, even though his father usually didn't have much money in his pocket...

   I don't know, after returning, can his father keep it?

  After bidding farewell to Lin's father and Lin's mother, the couple took the time to go on the road. Before it was dark, there were still people on the road, so it seemed safer.
