Chapter 1201: Brother-in-law's Relocation
Lin Xiuqing was carrying Ye Chenghu and had to follow him in circles, panting from hitting him. Without checking, she was directly run away by him.
"Like flying a kite."
She was instantly amused. "You're still making cool remarks."
"No, I'm telling the truth."
"Hurry up and take your bath, you're still watching there."
"How come every family has one?"
"What?"
"A fool!"
The one in his eldest brother's family is Ye Chenghe, the one in the second brother's family is the second brother himself, and the one in his family is this fool Ye Chenghu.
Others would have known to run when they saw their own mother holding a stick, but he actually stood there, stiffening his neck and arguing.
If he gets beaten to death, he can only say Amitabha.
"Crazy, don't even know what you're talking about? I'm going to cook something for you to eat."
Ye Yaodong responded and continued to go back to the room to take a bath.
Ye Xiaoxi looked at her father and then at her mother, hesitated, but chose to follow her mother because her mother was going to cook something to eat.
After the eldest got a beating, the remaining two were exceptionally obedient and honest for the rest of the day, but the two brothers were still at odds as usual.
Ye Chenghu was still brooding over the fact that he had to try his best to score 100 points to go to the city, while the two of them could follow so easily.
So he sulked alone for the whole afternoon. Ye Chengyang didn't care about him and went to herd sheep happily.
By the evening, the two brothers started arguing again when they were about to sleep.
The two were supposed to sleep together, but Ye Chenghu remembered that Ye Chengyang ran away at noon and left him to be beaten, so he locked the door and wouldn't let Ye Chengyang in to sleep.
The two brothers scolded each other through the door panel. If they couldn't see each other, they would probably have twisted together again, but Ye Chengyang still kicked the door with a bang.
Lin Xiuqing had a headache listening to it and scolded while picking up the stick and going upstairs. The old lady followed her upstairs and stopped her from hitting people, protecting Ye Chengyang behind her.
"Go to my room, go to my room to sleep at night, and your mother won't be able to hit you."
Ye Chengyang obediently ran downstairs and slipped into the old lady's room.
"I'm going to be angered to death by these two... You're old, why aren't you resting? Why are you following up?"
The old lady laughed. "I came up to take a look. It's time to sleep, don't scare the children, they will have nightmares at night."
"So stubborn, it would be strange if they had nightmares." Lin Xiuqing helped her down slowly.
Ye Chengyang had long since burrowed into the old lady's quilt and hid.
The old lady was also at the door, spreading her hands to block Lin Xiuqing from entering. "You go to sleep quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow, Yangyang will just sleep with me."
"It's all because you spoil him."
"You go to sleep..." She pushed her twice while speaking, and after pushing her out, she hurriedly closed the door.
Ye Chengyang also poked his head out of the quilt and coaxed the old lady, "Great-grandma, I will sleep with you every day from now on."
"Good." The old lady laughed and closed the door and the lights.
Ye Yaodong in the room was playing happily with Ye Xiaoxi. Seeing her enter the room and lock the door, he asked, "Finished fighting?"
"How can I hit when the old one is protecting?"
"Is the red envelope ready?"
"Ready. Sleep early, we have to go to my parents' house tomorrow to pick up my second sister-in-law's family, my two sisters' families, and my eldest sister-in-law's family. Such a big group."
"Hmm, I've already told the boy who drives the tractor in the workshop to pick them up early tomorrow morning."
They discussed it in the afternoon to pick up Qing and her sister-in-law's family first, and then take a boat there, so as not to take the car all the way and look bad when going to the wedding banquet with dust on their faces.
And being able to lead them to the village first can also give Qing some face. Her husband is so capable, with a pile of boats and a bustling workshop, so her family can also take a look and see her good life now with their own eyes.
Anyway, Lin Xiangyang is driving a tractor in the city now, so it will be very convenient to pick them up at the pier in advance.
Tomorrow, we can also bring Wang Guangliang and the others, pull them all over in one boat, and let them receive goods at the pier. It's worth it to pull so many people and do so many things with one trip of fuel.
"Then sleep early, early to bed and early to rise, I've already polished your leather shoes for you."
"I also want to wear leather shoes." Ye Xiaoxi sat on him and laughed happily.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "There are no leather shoes for someone as small as you. Wait until you are a little older to wear them. I bought you new cotton shoes. Wear new clothes and new shoes tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong smiled and laid her down on the bed. "Sleep quickly, I'll take you to sit on your father's big boat tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
Ye Xiaoxi was extremely happy, very cooperatively lay in the corner, then pulled the quilt, wrapped herself tightly, and didn't forget to wrap the doll beside her tightly, and then closed her eyes.
Lin Xiuqing also took the opportunity to turn off the lights and go to bed.
The next morning, the whole family put on new clothes and new shoes.
The children couldn't help showing off, running out in new clothes and new shoes, showing off to their little friends that they were going to the city to be guests and attend a wedding banquet.
Undoubtedly, they harvested a lot of envious eyes and a group of followers.
Winter vacation started, and there were children running and jumping everywhere in the village, especially around the workshop. Children liked to run to the seaside, and the workshop had been so lively recently.
The group of children in their Ye family had been in the limelight for the past two years. Everything was the first of its kind, either bought from the provincial capital or bought from the city, with various novel toys and stationery, which made the children in the village gain a lot of knowledge.
So much so that all the children in the village liked to run to their door to play with their children, and these children in their family also became the children's kings in their respective age groups.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing sat at the entrance of the workshop basking in the sun, chatting with the villagers, and waiting for the tractor to pick people up.
He also took the opportunity to tell Ye Fu and Ye Mu to look after the house and the workshop. They would return in the evening and would not stay overnight outside.
"Dad, when are we going?"
"Mom, why haven't we left yet?"
"When are the cousins coming?"
"Why haven't they come yet..."
While playing with other children, they didn't forget to run over and urge, really couldn't wait.
When the tractor they were looking forward to came back, it pulled a car full of people. Everyone shouted excitedly and ran behind the tractor.
"Coming, coming..."
"We are going to the city to attend the wedding banquet."
"We are going to take a boat to the city~"
All the children surrounded them enviously, watching the people on the tractor jump down one by one.
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also walked towards the tractor and exchanged pleasantries with the people getting off the car.
Lin Xiuqing's second sister-in-law looked at the workshop in front of her, stood on tiptoe and looked around, and said in surprise.
"Oh my, is Dong so successful? Look at this workshop, it's so big, and it's divided into two sides. You've hired so many workers, dozens of people. How much does it cost a day?"
Lin Xiuqing's third sister Lin Xiumei also said curiously, "I heard there are more than a dozen or twenty boats, and the whole town is famous."
Lin Ye Ersao: "More than that, it's famous in other provinces too, bringing glory to the ancestors..."
Lin Xiuqing's fourth sister Lin Xiufang said: "Qing is still good at finding a husband. Far is a bit far, but the husband is capable."
Lin Xiumei: "This bitter life is finally over, and you will enjoy happiness in the future. So many people are working for you, you must have made a lot of money."
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Not really, the expenses are also high. These lands, boats, and everything have to be bought with a lot of money. A lot of money has been spent."
Lin Xiufang: "Then you must have made a lot of money. How could you afford these things without money? These alone are worth a lot of money. You can be considered to have come to the end of bitterness and the beginning of sweetness..."
Their men were chatting in one circle, the women were talking in one circle, and the children were chattering in one circle. Everyone was extremely excited, and everyone had been looking forward to it for many days.
Being able to go on a long journey, go so far, and go to the city, was too worthy of their pride.
After Ye Yaodong and the others finished exchanging pleasantries, he said: "Let's go, we've been waiting for you, talk slowly when we get on the boat."
"Let's go, charge, to the city~"
The children screamed and ran to the pier in a swarm, competing to be the first to arrive.
A pile of dogs also ran and sprinted beside them.
They ran in front, and the adults instructed from behind.
"Slow down, don't fall. If the new clothes you just put on are broken or dirty, I'll beat you later..."
A large group of people walked to the pier lively, talking while walking, and many people behind looked at them enviously as they left.
Ye Yaodong got on his boat number 006 first. This new boat is now completely in their hands as a shuttle boat.
"Get on this small boat first, use the small boat to send everyone to the Dongsheng on the middle of the sea. We will drive the big boat to the city later. Let's make do for now."
"How is this making do? I think this boat is quite good."
"Yeah, this boat looks new and not small."
"Didn't you say you have more than a dozen boats? Why didn't I see the other boats?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said: "The other boats have been rented out. Can't buy them back to look at? It's rare that the weather has been good recently, and the boats have all gone out to sea. This boat is left at home to receive goods."
"This is my second time coming to your place, and I only realized that you have changed so much in these few years. You are living the life of a rich lady now, just collecting rent every day, haha."
"That boat in the middle of the sea looks really big. That one must be worth tens of thousands, right? Your family is really amazing now?"
Lin Xiuqing's sisters and sisters-in-law all surrounded her and talked, envious to death.
Because of the long distance and the fact that everyone had their own families, they didn't have much contact in the past. At most, they could meet occasionally when returning to their parents' home during the New Year and festivals, and say a few words. Visiting was impossible.
So this was the second time they came after Lin Xiuqing got married. The first time was when she gave birth, when the baby was a month old.
This era is poor. If you give birth, at most the first one will be lively, and the subsequent births will just be briefly skipped. So after so many years, her sisters only came for the second time.
The two brothers-in-law and the father-in-law came over in turns when they sent things every three days, and Ye Yaodong was only familiar with the men in her family.
Women always have endless topics when they get together. The cold wind was blowing, but they could still chatter endlessly.
Ye Yaodong was even less familiar with the few brothers-in-law and had nothing to say. He just chatted casually, one after another, and just kept smoking.
His eyes were always on the few children, afraid that they would be too excited, too close to the side of the boat, and worried that they would be too naughty and have an accident.
"You guys be careful."
"Dad, this boat is rocking and it's so fun..."
"We are in the middle of the sea..."
Ye Yaodong instructed the boatmen standing around: "You guys also help watch the little ones. There are so many children, don't let them get close to the ship's side."
"We are watching."
"A-Dong is considered a big boss now, with so many people working in his hands..."
"Hehe, it's alright, just making a living."
"Humble..."
When the small boat changed to the big boat, everyone was even more excited. They all felt it was extremely rare. As soon as they got on the boat, they excitedly turned around to visit.
Fortunately, there were many adults, all watching those children.
After he got on the big boat, he immediately climbed up to the steering tower. The few bold children also wanted to follow and climb up to see, but they were pulled by the adults and were not allowed to climb up and down. They were only allowed to stay honestly on the deck or stay in the cabin.
Today's experience made them too excited. It was going to the city and taking a boat, giving them too many expectations and novelties at once.
However, this was only short-lived. After half an hour of sailing, everyone's excitement had passed, and they were calm, able to stay honestly on the deck.
After sailing for an hour, most of them were listless, and some even developed a fear of the vast sea.
In a short time, they would be excited, but facing the boundless sea for a long time, unable to see the shore, the fishing boat floating like a leaf in the middle of the sea, watching the waves hitting the bow, this began to make them feel panicked in their hearts, and they couldn't help but develop a kind of fear of the sea.
Ye Yaodong was driving the boat and didn't know that the people below had started to be afraid and kept asking how long it would take to arrive.
He thought that after the excitement passed, they would start to be afraid, but there were so many people below, enough to soothe, so he didn't need to worry.
He drove the boat wholeheartedly, and the number of people on the deck gradually decreased. They all hid in the cabin. Without looking directly at the sea, they could also reduce some fearful emotions.
There was no seasickness along the way. After discussing how to go yesterday, he called to notify them to prepare seasickness patches or seasickness medicine, and they were all prepared.
After docking in the city, the fishing boat stopped, and everyone was a little dazed.
"Arrived?"
"Finally arrived..."
Ye Yaodong came down from the steering tower and saw them coming out of the cabin listlessly, their faces pale, not having the spirit they had when they first got on the boat.
"Are you guys okay?"
Ye Chenghu was weak, "Not good at all, Dad, let's take a car next time."
Lin Xiangyang ran down from the shore, waved at them and shouted: "Down."
"Go down, once you get on the shore, you will be full of energy again, and you will be a dragon again."
Everyone lined up to get off the boat one after another.
When they first got off the boat, some people were unstable and swayed, but fortunately, someone helped them.
After walking on the shore step by step, standing on the pier, feeling the feeling of feet on the ground, and looking at the lively scene of people coming and going, everyone's faces piled up with smiles again, and they were energetic again.
"Wow, so lively..."
"So many people, so many big houses?"
"This land is also different from our countryside..."
Lin Xiangyang led them towards the tractor, "Get on the car, it's already very late, the banquet is already set."
Everyone climbed onto the tractor one after another. Ye Yaodong gave 5 yuan to Wang Guangliang and the others, letting them find a place to eat first, and let them arrange the receiving time in the afternoon themselves.
After he finished lunch, he would definitely have to stay until the evening, and he could only leave after eating dinner. It just so happened that they could go back together at that time.
The tractor drove all the way to the wholesale market. Except for Ye Yaodong, everyone stood there looking around curiously.
Looking all the way, their mouths changed from being able to stuff an egg to being full of various exclamations and excited voices, especially the children's voices were the loudest.
Today's sights and sounds were an experience they had never had before.
Seeing more people than going to the market for the first time, seeing a place countless times larger than the village for the first time, seeing so many cars for the first time.
The listless mood caused by taking a boat along the way was gone, and it was replaced by excitement again.
When the tractor drove to the wholesale market, Ye Chenghu's voice was the loudest, "It's here, I've been here, it's right here."
"Eldest uncle moved to the city and became a city person. When can our family move to the city?" Lin Xiangyang's youngest son didn't have enough eyes, and muttered while asking his mother.
Lin Ye Ersao smiled and said: "That will have to wait until your father also makes a lot of money."
"Bless Dad to make a lot of money every day."
The tractor stopped at the door of a new house, and everyone knew they had arrived.
Lin Fu and Lin Xiang Hui had long been waiting at the door. At this moment, they greeted them directly with faces full of smiles.
"Starving, right? Just in time for dinner."
"Is it here? That's so close to the market, right across the street."
"The newly built building is so beautiful, and it also has a yard."
"The building is really beautiful, prettier than our small house."
"Go in, a few tables are set in the yard, there are no other people, just our own family and the cadres and neighbors in this village, just sit anywhere."
Everyone walked in lively while talking.
Lin Fu walked to Ye Yaodong's side and said: "This trip troubled you, bringing so many people over at once, picking up people early in the morning, and driving the boat to send them over..."
"Dad, you are being polite saying this. You and eldest brother have helped me with so many things. I'm just picking up our family's relatives. What trouble is there?"
"Hehe, did anything happen on the way? So many people, and so many children."
"Nothing happened, there are many adults, they can all watch."
"That's good, hurry up and sit down to eat first."
The atmosphere in the yard was intense. Two tables were already full. Lin Fu not only invited his own relatives but also invited the village cadres in the village, the landlord who rented the house before, and the neighbors on the left and right.
Ye Yaodong basically recognized them all, greeted everyone with a smile, and then took his seat. The children had long been running around the house.
Lin Xiuqing and the women took the opportunity to visit the house, gave the red envelopes to Lin's eldest sister-in-law, and then grabbed the children out to take their seats.
They were delayed for a long time, and it was already 12 o'clock when they arrived. After taking their seats, they immediately set off firecrackers and started the banquet.
"Xiang Hui is also successful. Didn't expect that after working hard in the city for a year, he built such a big house."
"Isn't it? Now he is taking Xiangyang to the city. One brings another, and a family has risen."
"It's still the son-in-law who is good. They say it's the son-in-law who started to bring them up..."
Everyone kept complimenting Lin Xiang Hui and Ye Yaodong, and the atmosphere was extremely intense.
Everyone was very happy. Some people hadn't gone far in their lives, at most to the town on their side. Now they could come to the city to attend the wedding banquet for free, and they were full of excitement, throwing out good words endlessly.
The children running and jumping during the banquet also set off a lot of atmosphere, looking at a scene of joy.
A meal was eaten with both the host and the guests enjoying themselves.
After eating the wedding banquet, both adults and children couldn't hold back. It was rare to come to the city, so they must visit and see everywhere.
Lin Xiang Hui also had arrangements. He took everyone to visit the market and let Lin Xiangyang drive the tractor to take everyone to the busiest street in the city.
Ye Yaodong was extremely familiar with the city and had no interest, but his three children must go to the city to stroll. Lin Xiuqing couldn't watch three alone, so he had to accompany them.
For the whole afternoon, their large group of people was strolling everywhere in the city. The adults were also rarely generous in buying, buying, buying, and the children didn't return empty-handed.
There were still 20 days until the New Year. The city was now busier than before, and the variety of goods was extremely large, making everyone dazzled.
Lin Xiuqing discussed with Ye Yaodong and simply bought more things. The New Year goods that could be prepared in advance were simply bought here in advance and brought back.
It's just that as they were strolling, Ye Yaodong suddenly saw a familiar figure.
He walked up in surprise and patted Lin Jishang on the shoulder. "Why are you here?"
Lin Jishang also looked at him in surprise. "Coincidence! Haven't been home for several months, preparing to buy something to bring home."
"I thought you went in, haven't seen anyone for several months."
"Almost."
"Ah?"
Lin Jishang didn't say much and changed the subject. "Why are you here?"
Ye Yaodong pointed to his wife and children looking around on the side. "Brother-in-law moved, the whole family came over to attend the wedding banquet, so I took them out to stroll by the way and bought them something to bring back."
"When are you going back?"
"Go back by car after dinner, what about you?"
"Go back tomorrow."
At this time, a woman walked over from the side and looked at him curiously beside Lin Jishang.
"A-Shang, who is this?"
Ye Yaodong looked over with a strange expression.
Lin Jishang was a little uncomfortable, took out some money from his pocket and handed it to the woman, letting her buy something herself first and not disturb their conversation.
The woman smiled and consciously went to stroll on the side.
"Good guy, no wonder I haven't seen anyone for several months, it turns out you are living a carefree life outside, you can do it."
"No, it's just that I've been busier these few months, so I didn't go back. Cough, don't tell anyone."
"I understand, I'll explain to my wife and children later, but you should still be careful."
"Hmm, I'll take the person away first."
Ye Yaodong nodded and walked towards Lin Xiuqing, who was looking at them from time to time.
Lin Xiuqing was still looking curiously. "Who is that woman on the side?"
"Don't talk too much, don't tell anyone when you go back."
"I knew that you men change when you have money. You can't go home for several months, keep a woman outside, none of you are good things. The wife is at home taking care of the children and managing the housework, while he is carefree outside..."
"Shh, the children are here, don't talk nonsense."
Lin Xiuqing glared at him fiercely. "Do you have one?"
"Crazy, I go out with my father, can I still mess around?"
"Does that mean if you don't take your father, you can mess around?"
"Don't misinterpret my meaning. He messes around, but you can't overturn a boatload of people with one pole, thinking I will too. I'm an honest person."
"When have you ever been honest? You're sloppy. I think you're even less honest than him."
"Great injustice, I'm more wronged than Dou E. I'm a decent person. I go out to make money. When have I ever been carefree? I've been living a bitter life every day."
"Hmph." Lin Xiuqing turned her head to look at the children and didn't talk to him.
Ye Yaodong also felt that it wasn't the time to talk about this outside, although others couldn't understand what they were saying.
In fact, he could understand Lin Jishang quite well. Men, at a vigorous age, with money in their hands, and their wives not by their side, and doing dangerous things.
Carrying pressure on his body, he always has to find a way to relieve it.
And sometimes, even if he doesn't take the initiative, women will throw themselves at him. Most of them will uphold the principle of "don't waste it if it's delivered to the door."
"Those aunts and uncles were right, telling me to keep a close eye on you."
Ye Yaodong begged for mercy. "Yes, yes, yes, keep a close eye on me, let's talk when we go back."
"Has he been outside like this all the time? Not going back?"
"No, he said he's going back tomorrow."
"Don't associate with him in the future."
"Definitely, I'm also afraid he'll lead me astray."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and didn't speak.
The three children were attracted by a pile of small toys in front of them. Where would they care about what the adults were saying? They liked this, liked that, and were reluctant to leave.
Ye Yaodong generously bought everything they wanted, and then took them out.
The place where they gathered was where they got off the car. They waited there first if they arrived first, and then went back together by car when everyone was there.
There were fewer tables set in the evening, and no village cadres and neighbors were invited. There were only relatives who came on this boat.
After eating, before it got dark, everyone left contentedly on the tractor again.
After arriving at the pier, Ye Yaodong let the few people who were still receiving goods finish work and took a group of people to the boat to wait first.
Everyone was chattering and reluctant to go back like this, but it was pitch black now.
However, this trip was particularly worth it for everyone. They saw the bustle and prosperity of the city without spending much money, ate the wedding banquet, and bought a lot of things. They could show off for a few days when they went back.
They were all looking forward to coming again next time.
Ye Yaodong was pondering in his heart that Qing would nag him again when he went back.
Why did he let her see Lin Jishang bringing a woman?
Collateral damage. He was clearly very honest and had no crooked thoughts.
He had never thought about the red flag at home not falling, and the colorful flags fluttering outside.
But he was too handsome. That jerk Lin Jishang brought a woman, and his wallet wasn't flatter than his.
Damn it, it's so cool. No wonder I couldn't find anyone for these few months.
After everyone got on the boat, he counted them once, and let them count their own family members one by one. There was no one missing, and then he started the boat to go home. ===== CHAPTER 1202 =====
