Chapter 1095: Returning in Glory

Lin Xiuqing knew that Ye Mu was coming back tomorrow, and while eating, she asked Ye Fu if he wanted her to go over to his place to help him clean up the house later.

Ye Fu waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he would tidy up a bit, and leave the rest for Ye Mu to clean herself when she returned tomorrow.

Lin Xiuqing didn't force it. If she wasn't needed, it was even easier for her.

After the meal, everyone sat at the doorway to cool off. In the middle of summer, one had to go outside to cool down before returning to the room to sleep. Inevitably, everyone talked about what happened today.

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao were both cursing there, saying those cousins were immoral.

Everyone remained silent, but the old lady interrupted their endless chatter.

"It's all discussed, why bring it up again? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"What's there to laugh at? We originally thought we were all one family, and they ran over every day asking us to pull them along so they could earn a little. Who knew they would shout it out directly, and all the aunts and cousins wanted to be stuffed onto us..."

Several loud voices were shouting there, and the morning's events were turned over and talked about again.

Ye Yaodong closed his eyes to rest, only caring about cooling off himself. When sleepiness struck, he returned to the room to sleep first.

The next morning, he was still woken up by a group of chirping sounds.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiuqing was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the two pregnant dogs had given birth. She immediately shouted and called for the children in the house to come over and take a look.

"The dog gave birth, you all hurry over to see."

As soon as they heard this, their feet were like they had installed wind-fire wheels, running extremely fast, exceptionally excited, and even the few from next door heard it and ran over.

In the past, their ears weren't this sharp. Calling them for dinner was like calling for their lives before they could be called back.

"Where? Where is it?"

"Where, did it give birth?"

"Did it give birth? Did it give birth? Let me see, let me see..."

Everyone squeezed in front of the doghouse, stretching their necks, exceptionally concerned, as if they were about to become fathers themselves.

"Wow... so many puppies..."

"So small, their eyes aren't even open..."

"I see, they are nursing, so small..."

"Can I touch them? Can I grab them out..."

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly patted away the few little hands reaching forward, "No, they were just born last night. Don't touch them randomly, let them nurse first."

"Two more squeezed over to nurse..."

"One, two, three, four, five, six... there are six. They are all nursing there, the doggy has so many nipples..."

"Is there one that hasn't been born yet?"

"Not yet, I guess it will be soon."

"Chenghu, your house has become a doghouse, it's all dogs."

"How good, when I go out, I'll be surrounded by dogs. Let's see who dares not listen to me."

Ye Yaodong heard the commotion and came out, only to hear this sentence. He reached out and flicked his son's head, "Others are 'foxes borrowing the tiger's might,' you are 'people borrowing the dog's might.' Look at your ambition."

"Daddy, it's really majestic. When I go out and give an order, all the doggies will follow me. How powerful, they are my doggy army."

Ye Chenghe was extremely envious, "I also want so many dogs, just thinking about it is majestic. But my house only has a chicken and duck army."

"Not just that, your house also has pigs."

"Don't want them, your house's dogs are still powerful."

"Send a few away tomorrow, there are too many." Lin Xiuqing said to Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Many people are asking me for them. Wait until they are a month old before giving them away."

"Don't, these are all ours, can't give them to others."

"Giving birth to six at a time, and one hasn't been born yet. That counts as more than ten. There were already seven in the house. Are you opening a pet park? It's all dogs."

"Just don't, keep them."

"They will give birth again in the future. When the time comes, one litter after another, you want to raise hundreds of dogs?"

Ye Chenghu was a bit sad, supporting his chin with both hands, squatting there and staring at the few newborn puppies without blinking.

Ye Chengyang didn't care. He had three little lambs, so it didn't matter if he didn't have dogs.

The children didn't want to move for the whole morning. Even if they ran out to play for a while, they would return very quickly, continuing to watch the few little milk dogs.

By the way, they also wanted to squat and wait, wanting to see the other one give birth. They didn't get to see this one, and they felt exceptionally regretful.

The adults in the house didn't have time to manage them, because A-Guang and the others returned at noon.

It spread throughout the village that a small car had sent them back, very majestic. Everyone was running around telling each other. Some who saw the small car with their own eyes were exceptionally excited.

Ye Yaodong and the others also heard people talking about the small car at the doorway, only then did they know they had arrived home.

"Tsk tsk tsk, looks like the Pei family is very rich now, can afford a small car..."

"Of course they are rich. Look at how many boats they have now. What's affording a small car? Maybe they can even afford to buy one."

"Really? That one costs tens of thousands. If you said Adong could afford it, I'd believe it. The Pei family can afford it too?"

"That's hard to say. Didn't you see their boats sailing back one after another, like a competition? The Pei family looks just a little bit worse than Adong's family, but there aren't many in the whole village who can compare."

"More than just the whole village? There aren't many people in the ten miles and eight villages who can compare. Even if you compare it in the town, it's presentable."

"You've been talking for a long time, what does that small car look like? Oh, what a pity, we are far away and didn't see it. How long did it stop at the doorway?"

"Don't know. Heard that when the car stopped at the doorway, the surroundings were sensational. Everyone surrounded that small car, touching it and looking at it for a long time. All the children in the village surrounded it, almost not letting the car leave."

"Yeah, yeah, heard it surrounded it for half an hour, scaring the boss to death. It was the Pei family who drove away the people surrounding it, and then the car could leave."

"This is too much of a pity, didn't see it. It was surrounded on the side of the road for half an hour, and we didn't even know?"

"Heard it was red, very festive, very good-looking. It's better looking than tractors, motorcycles, and so on. And living inside, you don't get blown by the wind or rained on, it's so comfortable."

"Their family is really willing to spend a lot of money, even hiring a small car to bring people back..."

"That's not it. Twin sons, that's the great contributor to the Pei family. Two at once, they have to be worshipped like Bodhisattvas. What's hiring a small car to send them back? Just don't know how much money it takes."

Lin Xiuqing was called out by Ye Yaodong, who had been sitting idly at the doorway, only then did she hear what everyone was saying.

She hurriedly pulled someone and asked, "How long have they been back? I was cooking at home and didn't hear what you all were saying."

"Just came back, the small car just left too. I was also picking a few melons and fruits in the vegetable field on the side of the road and happened to see it. My drool almost didn't flow out. Such a good small car, too foreign-style. There's still a group of people surrounding their doorway discussing it. If you aren't afraid of the heat, you can go over. I just came back, and the rice at home hasn't been cooked..."

"Okay, okay..."

Lin Xiuqing turned to pull Ye Yaodong, "The rice is still cooking in the pot, I can't leave... oh... no, can leave it to the old lady to watch, let's go over first."

"People are back, go over and take a look first."

"If you want to go now, then go now. Otherwise, wait a while, wait until they are settled and tidied up, it won't be too late to go then. Just arrived home, I guess there's a pile of things to tidy up. After all, they lived outside for several months, and there must be quite a few things, big and small."

"Then going early can also help tidy up. After all, the one at home is a stepmother, not a biological mother. It's only right for us, the maiden family, to help more. What's more, Huimei hasn't seen her daughter for several months and must miss her. We have to send her over quickly."

"Alright, what you say makes sense."

After Pei Yu was brought over yesterday evening, the two little girls hugged each other and were reluctant to part. They didn't want to separate when sleeping last night, so they stayed at their place. So today, they were still playing at their house.

Now the couple definitely had to take both of them over together. The two held one each and specifically carried umbrellas.

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao also handed the rice and dishes in the pot to the children to watch, and they followed the two, planning to go over together to take a look first.

The two walked side by side and were also discussing endlessly.

"Saw a small car in the city before, didn't expect Huimei to be sitting in one."

"A-Guang still loves his wife, willing to spend this money. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, at most they would hire a tractor to pull them back. For those who aren't willing to spend money and don't have money, there are plenty who would just push them back with a cart."

"That is, Huimei has a good life..."

"Indeed a good life, coming back so gloriously..."

By the time they reached A-Guang's doorway, there were still a lot of people standing at the doorway discussing endlessly, all discussing the small car.

In recent years, tractors have become more common everywhere, and everyone isn't rare about them. Trucks and big Jiefangs are also occasionally seen, but small cars are really too rare in this rural place.

Everyone was seeing it for the first time and was extremely excited.

"Really good-looking. If I could sit in it once, I could brag for half a lifetime."

"I just touched it and knocked on it. That small car is really good, really beautiful. It's simply one heaven and one earth compared to that tractor. Although that big Jiefang looks big, it's not good-looking at all. That small car is still better looking, very foreign-style."

"Giving birth to twin sons is different. Willing to spend on everything. How much money does it take to hire a small car from the city to send them back?"

"Definitely not cheap. The fare from the county to the city is more than one yuan, let alone our rural corner."

"That boss also has guts, daring to drive a small car to our rural place alone, not afraid of not being able to return..."

"Forget it, those who block the road are just good-for-nothing young people. Seeing a small car, where would they dare to go up? They haven't seen one in their whole life."

"To talk about a good life, it's not just Huimei, this girl. Lifang has suffered for half a lifetime. Didn't expect that at her age, she could fall into a nest of fortune and be with Old Pei..."

"Who says not? Living close has this benefit. Now who doesn't know the Pei family has good conditions? Before, that Wang Laoer insisted on stuffing his daughter over. He really has a good eye. Look at how majestic they are now, they can even afford a small car..."

A pile of gossiping people at the doorway were discussing endlessly. No one was willing to return, and some even stood at the Pei family's doorway, chatting while looking inside.

Ye Yaodong and his wife had to let people make way before they could squeeze into the doorway. Good heavens, there were quite a few people sitting inside, all relatives who could be related to the two families, noisy, all chatting idly.

It turned out that outside were neighbors, and inside were relatives.

Oh, his father was also there.

When they entered the room, they happened to see A-Guang coming out of the room to drive people away. He also had a smile on his face, saying polite words, asking the pile of noisy people sitting in the hall to leave first, leaving only the Ye family.

Only then did he speak: "Messy, noisy to death. Just arrived home, busy tidying up things, where can I spare hands to deal with them? They are all still sitting there talking a pile."

As soon as Ye Mu saw them, she hurriedly greeted them, "You all came? No need for you to help here. The relatives' family can also help. You help me take my things back first."

"Let Father take them back."

Ye Fu was a bit unhappy, "I just came over too. Wait a while, what's the rush? Just put them in the corner. Are the things in the room settled?"

"Settled, just finished tidying up and lying down. Now I have to tidy up their things. I'll go see if the relatives' noodles are cooked. Huimei can't be hungry now." Although Ye Mu's face was tired, she smiled with joy.

Lin Xiuqing followed the two sisters-in-law and brought the two children into the room to see Huimei, while Ye Yaodong was talking to A-Guang in the hall.

"How much does it cost to hire a taxi back?"

A-Guang hooked his shoulder and walked to the back door to chat.

"Expensive as hell. Originally, he wouldn't agree no matter what, saying it was too far, unsafe, and there were regulations that it could only be in the urban area. I had to add money, adding up to 380 yuan. After talking nicely, and stuffing some money, I invited him to the village to take a look, and only after confirming it was to pull a woman in labor and children did he reluctantly agree."

"Afraid of having a life to go, but no life to return."

"Isn't it? After all, it's from the city to our rural place. Normally their taxis only drive in the city. How could they go to such a far rural area? It's also because I gave a lot of money, and he could secretly keep a portion. Plus, heard his family also just added a grandson, only then secretly sent it once."

"Then this 380 is too expensive, right?"

"One kilometer is one yuan. The extra money I gave, he could put into his pocket. Otherwise, how could he run this trip? These people with fixed wages run very comfortably in the urban area. Why take the risk to run to the rural area?"

Ye Yaodong was a bit curious, "How much is their monthly wage? Now these small cars are all imported, not cheap. Ordinary people can't drive them, right?"

"The taxi driver who sent us back said he was a retired veteran. Indeed, not ordinary people can drive. Taxi driver is the most popular profession, very glorious. There aren't a few in the whole city. It's also because the city is a coastal city that they can try to put in a few first. I heard people say their monthly wage is several thousand, which can top what ordinary workers do for decades. Almost scared me to death."

"About the same. Cargo trucks running transport also have a lot a month. People are now more glorious taxis. Those who can afford taxis aren't ordinary people."

"Isn't it? Anyway, just spend this sum. Don't tell anyone. My father doesn't know how much money it cost."

"There is output, then there is input. Men who love their wives will get rich."

"Also thinking about earning a big sum soon. Small money doesn't go, big money doesn't come. What's more, it's also spent on the wife and children. It's good to be back."

"Buy one yourself when you earn money."

A-Guang turned his head and glanced at him, "Are you talking about yourself?"

"You can too."

"I can't afford it. If you want to buy it, let me hitch a ride when the time comes, let me have a good time, and by the way, teach me how to drive."

"I can't afford it either."

"Forget it. You can afford it now, no need to wait until then. I bought it and have nowhere to drive. You bought it and it has great use, going to the city every three days."

"I have a motorcycle, it's enough. Life also has tractors, small cars are of no use."

"Who says? Small cars don't get blown by the wind or rained on, much better than your motorcycle. Your motorcycle still has to be blown by the wind and exposed to the sun."

"Riding a motorcycle is cool. If you sit in a small car, you still have to stick half your body out of the car for people to know who you are. I don't need to. I ride a motorcycle, and a group of people can follow behind and eat exhaust."

A-Guang laughed, "You really don't say. Those in the city who rarely sit in a taxi really can stick half their body out, wishing everyone could see."

"It's good now. My mother can have several months of talking points in the village again."

"Hahaha, don't talk about it. She was almost suffocated in the few days she went to the city. It's fine if Huimei gave birth, she still has things to be busy with. When Huimei didn't give birth, she sat at the doorway sighing every day. Wanted to go to the shop to help, but didn't know anything, couldn't speak Mandarin, felt ashamed in front of your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and didn't have anything to do when she didn't give birth, so she could only sit at the doorway every day."

Ye Yaodong was amused listening to his description.

"When you are settled here, she probably won't be able to sit still and will have to go back to find people to chat with immediately."

"It doesn't matter, the house is full of people. With Auntie Ma, and my two younger sisters also helping, they can take good care of Huimei and the three children. I'm also here. Anyway, my house doesn't plan to go to sea next. There's a happy event at home, rest for a few days, and by the way, wait to go to Zhejiang Province. If you want to go to sea, be careful, and control the time to come back early."

"I'm not going either. I also have other things to be busy with, no time. Just wait at home for your notification on when to set off."

"That's right, you seem to have to go to the city to visit leaders, and buy land, etc."

"Mm."

"Go eat snacks first. It's already cooked. Seems like everyone finished eating, only we are left."

Several empty bowls were already placed on the table, only two bowls of hot spring eggs were intact. They were the maiden family, so they had to cook a bowl of snacks when visiting, and there were several red dates and longans inside.

Ye Yaodong picked up the bowl and walked into the room, eating while walking, "Go in and see the children. Haven't seen them for days, see if they have become whiter."

A-Guang followed closely, "Cough, let you down."

"Hahahahaha... Do you know? The old lady said yesterday, nephews look like uncles, asking if they look like me?"

"What's good about looking like you? Little white face."

"Can have a chance to struggle 30 years less. By the way, have the two children's names been picked?"

"Thought about it, Pei Zuo, Pei You, meaning accompanying left and right."

"Good fellow, quite high level. This name is much better than yours."

A-Guang sighed, "I'm learning a lesson. My father is unreliable, I can't be unreliable. How important is this name? How can it be picked randomly? It harmed me for decades not wanting to eat light cakes."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh again.

"It's okay, now all three names sound very good. One (Pei Yu) cultivating, two accompanying left and right."

The two walked into the room while talking. There was also a pile of people sitting in the room. Either holding children or teasing children, a scene of laughter, harmony, and joy. Ye Huimei was also sitting on the bed eating noodles.

As soon as Ye Mu saw her finish eating, she immediately took the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Running around for a day, you can't sit after just giving birth, have to lie down. There was no way in the morning, already sat for half a day. Now hurry up and lie down to sleep for a while. We'll all go out and won't disturb you."

Auntie Ma also immediately took over, "Right, right, have to lie down after giving birth. You've been in the car for half a day and must be tired, so you have to rest. Relatives' mother also go home to rest first. You've worked hard for so many days. Now that you're back, leave it to me to take care of."

"What's hard about this? My own daughter definitely has to be served well. But now she has to rest well, that's true. While she's resting, I'll go home too. Haven't been home for many days, don't know if the house has become a doghouse. I have to go back to tidy up and see the chickens and ducks."

"You go ahead, I'll watch here."

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble the relatives' mother."

"No trouble, what trouble is this..."

The two old women were polite to each other, slowly being polite from the room to the doorway.

And they also followed to the doorway. Anyway, they had seen the people and the children. Their lunch hadn't been eaten yet, and the snacks they just ate weren't filling.

As soon as Ye Mu walked out, she was exceptionally excited, "They all say 'golden nest, silver nest is not as good as one's own doghouse.' This sentence is really true. The village is still good. How to stay in the city, how uncomfortable. Even finding someone to talk to is hard. Everyone is talking nonsense, chicken talking to duck."

"I thought you were very happy, could go to the city to play. People in the village don't know how envious they are of you, being able to go to the city to play and see the world."

"What's there to envy? The city is really not good at all. It's not as good as our village. Although the houses in the city are very high, the roads are very clean, there are people everywhere, and there are all kinds of things, the streets are full of various cars..."

Ye Mu chattered on, and everyone listening couldn't help but laugh.

Although she was complaining about the language barrier and not having anyone to talk to and tease, she was still very excited and happy when talking about it.

"The village in the city is no different from our village, also dirty and broken. Only the inside of the city is beautiful. Everyone's clothes look good, and there are all kinds of colors. Those women in the city even expose their arms and legs. The slits of those cheongsams are almost open to the neck. Unlike our rural area, everything is gray..."

Everyone listening to Ye Mu gesturing while talking also followed and laughed.

After entering the village, some villagers finished eating and sat at the doorway to cool off, or wove nets. Seeing Ye Mu return, everyone took the initiative to greet her.

"Lixiang is back? Is the city fun?"

"Heard you came back by small car, too foreign-style. Is that small car good to sit in? Is it comfortable?"

"Just didn't have time to see it, and it already left. Heard it was red, very foreign-style. That car is said to be imported, very expensive..."

"Are there small cars everywhere in the city?"

"Haha, just came back, just finished arranging at the daughter's house, tidied up things for her... The city is not fun at all... just a bit more things, a bit more people, a bit more cars..."

Ye Mu had been holding back words for several months, and finally had a place to talk, so she stopped to greet people.

This stop was also extraordinary, and the topic was opened.

They looked at each other and each returned first. By the time she finished chatting and walked home, they didn't know what time it was.

Ye Fu was also very sensible, taking Ye Mu's luggage back first, leaving the stage to her alone, letting her stay here to catch up with people first.

He also knew that she had been suffocated for so many days without anyone to talk to. Now that she was back gloriously, she definitely had to wander around the village more.

Lin Xiuqing said while walking, "Wronged Mother. After so many days, finally returned home in glory."

Ye Yaodong held the child and pouted without speaking.

Ye Dasao said with a smile, "Isn't it returning home in glory? The whole village is the only one who has sat in a small car. And she has stayed in the city for so long. Our mother is now also someone who has seen the world."

Ye Ersao also said, "Isn't it? If it were me, I would also have to walk around the village more and tell the villagers more about the city."

"Starving to death, hurry home and eat. The rice hasn't been eaten yet."

"If you're in a hurry, you go back holding the child first."

Ye Yaodong was tall and had long legs. Holding the child, he walked in big strides, leaving them behind in two or three steps.

They also quickened their pace, although their mouths still didn't stop talking.

The old lady had already cooked the rice and dishes, just waiting for them to return.

Seeing him return first holding the child, she immediately greeted him. The first sentence was, "Did you see the small car? Is it foreign-style?"

"Didn't see it. When we went over, how could we still see it? And there's nothing good to see. If you like it, wait two years. When I earn a bit more, I'll buy one back for you to sit in."

"Hehe, nonsense. I'm old, what small car to sit in? Keep the money for yourself to spend."

"It's okay, I'll let you sit in it. You live a few more years, at least live to a hundred, it will definitely be realized. Maybe you can even live in a small villa."

"Good, good, good. I'll live a few more years, wait a bit. Saying such nice things to me every day, I definitely have to live a few more years to take a look. How is Huimei? How are the children? Have they grown out of it? Are they good-looking?"

"Not good-looking. Fortunately, they aren't girls, and fortunately, the family is wealthy. Prepare to eat. Aqing is also almost home behind. Where are Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang?"

"I was afraid they would be hungry and couldn't wait, so I let them eat early. They have already gone to play again."

"Life is a bit happy? Seeing the head but not the tail, the report card hasn't been issued yet? It's quite hard to meet them."

"Don't worry about them, they are all monkeys." ===== CHAPTER 1096 =====
