Chapter 1224: Result
Ye Huimei felt that this was all taught by A Guang.
Taught hand-in-hand by her own father, otherwise how could this child be so brave?
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Teaching a girl to catch snakes properly, what does it look like? Making it so scary.
Have to scold him when he comes back in two days.
"Where is your father-in-law? Clearly a whole family, how come it looks like only you are bringing three children?"
"He went to the field. Recently the weather is warming up, the land has to be turned over. Taking advantage of the spring rain recently, have to hurry to sow, he is also very busy, goes to the field to work at dawn, and can only come back at mealtime."
"Oh, that's true, the land at home also has to be turned over in these two days."
"The little son and little daughter brought by Ma Shen have all gone to school, the older one follows A Guang out to sea, isn't Dongqing working at your place now? Count it, everyone has things to do, isn't it just me bringing three children at home to cook?"
"Oh."
Then it's no wonder the two nephews ate shit.
"When did you come back?"
"Yesterday, bought some small toys, came over today to give them to the three little ones to play with."
"There are plenty of toys at home, don't buy them next time, it's a waste of money. If you have this money, what's not good to buy? These are useless."
"How is this called useless? How can childhood toys be missing? Without these toys, your sons have to play with shit and urine every day."
Ye Huimei was about to refute, but heard him say: "Anyway, it doesn't cost your money."
"That's true."
"When is Ma Shen giving birth?"
"Still about three months, lunar June."
"Then Dongqing will wait until she gives birth to look at someone?"
"About the same, it's convenient for people to come to the door after giving birth, and only then can she have time to arrange it. Look at it for a few months, if it's okay, it's about the same to get married at the end of this year. Why do you ask this? Could it be that you are also here to talk about a match?"
Ye Yaodong helplessly said: "Yes, someone entrusted me to come over and ask two sentences, I think asking is nothing, so I came."
"Too many people have come to the door these few months, from the beginning of the New Year, a large batch of people want to come to the door to talk about marriage for Dongqing. She is now a sweet pastry, some introduced formal workers in the town's ice factory, some are postmen in the town, and some are workers in the slaughterhouse, almost dazzled."
Ye Yaodong smacked his lips, feeling even more unable to speak, Chen Shi really couldn't be taken out.
Fortunately, Pei Shu wasn't at home, otherwise, he wouldn't be beaten by A Guang, and he would have to be driven out by Pei Shu.
Ye Huimei saw that he suddenly had no sound, and asked: "Who are you talking about? Your friends seem to be married, right? Don't randomly point mandarin ducks."
He laughed awkwardly, even more embarrassed. Isn't it randomly pointing mandarin ducks?
However, fortunately, it was his own younger sister, asking casually wouldn't be anything.
Anyway, it wasn't his intention, just helping to ask a sentence.
"Someone entrusted me to come over and ask a sentence, but it's not my intention, don't scold me."
"Who?"
He looked left and right, and looked outside the door, and only then said: "Chen Shi?"
"Who?"
"Cough, the one on my boat who stutters a bit."
Ye Huimei was speechless when she heard it, "You really dare to say it, fortunately it's said to me, otherwise if my father and A Guang heard it, they wouldn't let you come to the door in the future."
"Hehe, stutterers also have the right to pursue happiness, doesn't this show that Dongqing is a ten-thousand-person fan? Everyone wants to marry her."
Ye Huimei finished cleaning up one child and stuffed him into his arms, letting him help hug, and said angrily: "Who doesn't know that most of them are coming for the dowry, and our family's family foundation is generous? At the same time, the younger sister's temperament is also good, and she can earn money. Good families that can't be found even with a lantern, isn't it a bunch of people who want to marry her home."
"So, it's very normal for anyone to like her."
"Then he is also a bit of a toad wanting to eat swan meat, no count in his heart, people who know themselves like this, who dares to entrust you to come to the door to talk?"
"Otherwise, you secretly ask Dongqing? Maybe she has a good impression of Chen Shi, feels honest and reliable? After all, in the workshop, a bunch of unmarried ones, one by one, are mostly oily-mouthed and slippery-tongued, which little girl would like oily-mouthed and slippery-tongued? Chen Shi also has advantages."
"Don't, his advantages are possessed by many people."
"Then he is also tall and big, taller than many people inside, and looks decent."
"That also can't get rid of the fact that he is a stutterer."
"It's already much better, not as stuttering as before, practice more, maybe it will be normal in two years, he is also talking non-stop now, practicing."
"Then wait until the practice is good before talking, I can't ask, so many good conditions, you have to ask for a stutterer, what kind of heart is this? Don't know, thought I, the sister-in-law, couldn't see people doing well."
Ye Yaodong had nothing to say, it was indeed not easy to say.
Perhaps Chen Shi might also realize that there were too many people asking for marriage, and if he didn't try, he would never have a chance again.
"Then, I'll wait for Pei Shu to come over, and ask myself, anyway, I promised, without asking personally, it's not easy to explain. By the way, also care about asking, what kind of son-in-law Pei Shu wants to find."
"Whatever you want, as long as you are embarrassed, anyway don't ask me to ask."
"Sigh, why was I so confused to agree? Still soft-hearted, just let him find someone else to ask, isn't it fine?"
"Then he isn't working for you? Asking for help to let you help, it's also normal."
"Hmm, where is Pei Shu? I'll go to the field head to find him?"
"Just the back mountain, you go yourself."
Ye Yaodong had to walk to the back mountain again.
Pei Fu was turning the land with a hoe, by the way throwing the weeds to the side to pile up, drying for a few days, and burning them later can also increase fertilizer.
Seeing Ye Yaodong coming, he put down the hoe, wiped his sweat, and asked with a smile, "Why did you come to the field? I don't dare to let you do work for me."
"Hehe, doing some work is nothing, as long as you have needs, there are a large group of men who want to come to your house to help you do work."
"What kind of words is this?"
"Isn't it? Heard that after Yingqiu married, old people came to the door to talk about marriage these few months, Dongqing is already the most popular girl in these ten miles and eight villages, isn't it a large group of young guys who want to come to your house to do work for you? As long as you speak, it won't take half a day, these lands will all be done."
Pei Fu laughed out loud, "That's true, you are also here to talk about a match for whom?"
"Nothing was said, you guessed it all, too smart, my father is not as smart as you, we three brothers wouldn't be so hard-working."
"Where is the words, you three brothers are now also ranked in the village, who in the whole village doesn't know how capable you are, your father has so much luck."
"I am also entrusted by others, if Uncle is not satisfied, just treat it as I didn't say."
"During this period, people who came to talk about marriage, what kind of people were said, there are formal workers with stable jobs, there are those whose wives died, there are those who are idle, anyway I have seen a lot, you say I listen to it? Whether it's suitable or not, I have to listen to it before saying."
"Cough, Chen Shi who works on my boat, what do you think?"
Pei Fu instantly frowned, "That stutterer?"
"Hehe..." Ye Yaodong laughed awkwardly and nodded.
"People are quite diligent and capable, and can endure hardship and work hard, and their character looks quite good, but their parents at home don't treat him well. Although he can earn money now, he is much better, but he is still a stutterer, this point is not good, not as good as Chen Qishui on my boat."
Chen Qishui he knew, was also in the same group as Chen Shi and Wang Guangliang, and was specially arranged by him to work on the Fengshou.
Thinking about it this way, it was indeed more suitable than Chen Shi, after all, it was under Pei Fu's nose, and he knew what kind of person he was better.
And if he became a son-in-law, it would be a family, and it would be more reliable to work for his family, which was a real change of a son.
"Then it won't work, then it won't work, I just asked casually, you treat it as I didn't say. However, Uncle, have you looked at Chen Qishui?"
"Hey, have this idea, after all, it's been watched under the nose for a year or two, more reliable than looking at outsiders, and know more."
"I heard from Huimei that there are also workers in town who come to talk about marriage, and some jobs are very decent."
Pei Fu waved his hand, disgusted, "Those are not reliable, just one job can be seen. I have inquired about it, one job has to support more than ten people in the whole family, all have to tighten their belts to live. Don't know where they heard it, our dowry is generous, and we give money."
"If it's really that good, why find us country people? If you have a good job, finding another worker with a job isn't it more decent? Even if you don't find a worker, finding a girl in town is very easy, why find it to the countryside?"
"Definitely have some problems themselves, can only find downwards. Otherwise, those with jobs, eyes are all on the top of the head, where can they look down on country people."
Ye Yaodong felt that Pei Fu was right, everything can't look at the surface, this kind of thing can only take out one job.
Pei Fu continued: "Either look crooked and ugly, we don't pick people, want to find someone who looks like you is also difficult. But at least it has to be decent, some young guys are not even as tall as Dongqing."
"And some, either the family is not reliable, not worry-free, or they are widowers, or divorced."
"That postman is divorced, brought a daughter. The job is good, but can I marry my daughter to someone who is divorced? Is it worth it? There are so many people in these ten miles and eight villages, I can't find a good young guy? Why be a stepmother for others?"
"One by one, they are all unreliable, I have inquired about them, didn't get myself angry to death, what kind of things dare to come to the door." Pei Fu complained to his heart's content.
Ye Yaodong touched his nose, feeling that these words also meant him.
This old fox, very refined, will calculate, and will also say.
"Uncle is right, the consideration is also right, this daughter-in-law selection is not buying pork, buying pork also has to pick fat and thin."
"I was also a flower pillow before, no one looked at me, just a face, whose family marrying a daughter doesn't have to inquire again and again, marry a man marry a man, wear clothes eat food."
"It's not easy to inquire about a person in this vicinity, those people are purely for luck."
"Diligent and capable, personality and temper are the first, but can't look too cold, after all, our little sister is not bad."
Pei Fu nodded in agreement.
"So have you already looked at Chen Qishui?"
He supported his hands on the hoe, and also opened the topic, talking to Ye Yaodong.
"Honestly tell you, still watching, this child doesn't look that honest, also a bit slippery, still have to look at the character. However, don't worry, have to look at Dongqing's willingness."
"I don't expect the son-in-law to have much ability, how good the family conditions are. As long as the family is honest, the young guy is diligent and capable, the character has no problems, and it's a good life."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "It's like this, we just want to live a good life, diligent and capable, the family is honest and honest. In the final analysis, marriage is also a matter of two families, not two people, also have to look at the character of the family."
"Yes, your father is diligent and honest, your mother is a well-known capable person in the village, the family brothers and sisters-in-law have no discord, and are all capable."
"Marrying into your family is really a good thing that can't be found even with a lantern, A Guang, this silly boy, picked up a big bargain, I didn't even dare to think about it before."
"The 3 children in the family are also bitter, no mother since childhood, I am a father, many things are not convenient, now life is better, just hope they can live well in the second half of their lives. Now I just want to pick carefully, hope to pick a good one."
Ye Yaodong echoed, listened for a long time, before ending the topic.
"I am also really, talking to you so much, dragging you to this field head, do you eat at home at noon?"
"No, the family must have cooked rice, I'll go back to help Huimei watch the children first, just didn't see it for a while, two children almost ate shit."
Pei Fu laughed and asked a few more questions, Ye Yaodong said it before walking home.
Ye Huimei saw him scraping the mud under his feet on the threshold stone, and asked: "What did my father say?"
"He has a candidate in his heart, is investigating, don't need me to do more things."
"Who? Why don't I know?"
"You go ask him yourself, the eight characters haven't been written yet, I'm not easy to take out and say, in case it spreads everywhere, it won't be good."
"Oh, I thought they didn't plan, have to wait until the child is born."
Ye Yaodong looked at the two sisters who were holding toys and teasing the twins in the standing cage, walked over and asked Ye Xiaoxi: "Do you want to go home?"
"No."
"Then take the sister home?"
"Okay, take the brothers too."
"Brothers will eat shit, do you want to take them?"
Ye Xiaoxi hesitated for a while, shook her head, "Forget it, don't want brothers."
Ye Huimei was annoyed, "Nonsense, Third Brother, you always teach children badly, they are just small, don't understand, but didn't eat."
"That's because I was in time, otherwise it would have been in the mouth."
He led the two little girls home with one hand, and also reduced the burden for Ye Huimei, watching one less.
These two little ones standing in the standing cage won't run around, Pei Yu and Ye Xiaoxi can also have a companion when they go back.
"Third Brother, you take that snake home by the way, A Guang isn't at home, you take it to eat."
"I don't dare to clean it, and I don't know how, I only know how to use a mouth, you'd better keep it."
"I see if there is no A Guang in your friends, you have to disperse."
"That can't be, he is not that important, without Fatty, it has to disperse."
Said it makes sense, she couldn't refute.
"Go."
Ye Yaodong led the two little girls home with one hand each.
The two little girls jumped and jumped on the road, seeing the wild flowers on the side of the road, they had to stop to smell them, pick them, and even insert them on each other's heads.
Seeing butterflies, dragonflies, they had to chase them.
When they walked home, they had picked a large handful of flowers, very happy.
Ye Yaodong also looked at them with a smile all the way, who said daughters are not good? Isn't this cuter than stinky boys?
Two stinky boys together will only fight, two little girls together will catch butterflies, catch dragonflies, pick wild flowers, giggling non-stop on the road, looking so cute.
Two will also please people, and send the picked wild flowers to Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing was also full of smiles, "Picked so many wild flowers, how about knitting a flower wreath for you?"
Both were very excited, "Okay, okay!"
"Knit flower wreath, wear flower wreath."
Lin Xiuqing took the basket on her knees and gave it to the old lady, who was originally picking vegetables, planning to stir-fry them for lunch.
"Adong, you go and pick a few willow branches, it's not easy to break if you insert flowers in them."
"Okay."
After the two little girls wore the flower wreaths, they were crazy with joy, and ran out to show off to other children.
When Lin Xiuqing was knitting the flower wreath, she also asked for the result.
Sure enough, as expected, didn't enter people's eyes.
However, their friends entered Pei Fu's eyes, which made her not expect.
"Actually, if Wang Guangliang asked you to talk about a match, I wouldn't be surprised, after all, this kid is more active, his brain is more lively, and he used to lean towards Dongqing often before."
"He can't, he is too active, and also a bit oily-mouthed, not an honest one."
"Aren't you too?"
"You say this is meaningless, who can be as loyal as me? This kid doesn't look like a stable one, heard that he is also... in the city, looks unreliable."
Lin Xiuqing looked at him suspiciously, "What is he also... in the city?"
"Nothing, exposing his true nature more thoroughly outside, a large group of men, who doesn't know who? He also has self-knowledge."
Lin Xiuqing knew he didn't tell the truth, but didn't hold on to it.
Think also know, should be some bad shortcomings, can ask again later.
"Dongqing also doesn't give him a good face, he is also a smart one, otherwise he should have asked someone to come to the door long ago, after all, Dongqing has such good conditions, those people lean towards her like wolves."
"Indeed a smart one."
Whether the butt is stained with shit, those who know know.
In the evening, when Chen Shi came to ask, Ye Yaodong also told him the truth, saying that Pei Fu already had a candidate in his heart, let him change to a big tree.
"There are aromatic grasses everywhere in the world, why be obsessed with one flower, there should be no less people introducing you, find a girl who is honest and honest."
Chen Shi was not very disappointed, just smiled bitterly, "I... know, result, just... want to try, try... try and... it's fine, I'll... save money first."
"Hmm, save money well, only 20 years old, no need to rush to get married, save a bit more, marry a wife in two years, life is also good."
"Good."
"She... is a... good girl, happiness... is fine."
"Hmm."
After Chen Shi went out, he didn't go home, but went to the workshop to continue working and helping, a person with eyes. 【122
Ye Yaodong also went to the workshop for a look, not expecting to run into Chen Shuji, who had come looking for him.
It turned out to be a notification for him to participate in a political study activity at the town's Party School next Monday at 8:00 AM.
He had been so busy lately that he had almost forgotten about the Party membership application he had submitted a while back.
"It's good you're home. I was worried you wouldn't be, and that you'd miss the political study. You can't just ask for leave from this."
"Oh, it's been so long without any news, I'd forgotten all about it."
"It doesn't happen that fast on its own. From submitting the application to receiving it, and then to approval, there's a process. It's not that quick. For yours to be approved in less than a month and for you to be notified to study, that's already considered fast."
"Oh, today is Friday, so I'll keep that in mind and go in two days."
"Remember now, you can't just skip class."
"Got it. I only just got back yesterday anyway, and I need to turn over the soil at home these next two days since I'm not going out to sea."
"Next week."
"Yeah. Oh, by the way, next week is Qingming. The kelp should be growing quite well, right? I've been so busy lately that I haven't been home and haven't asked about it. Just yesterday when I came back, I passed by the offshore base and took a glance; it was a dark, lush patch."
Mentioning Qingming reminded him that the kelp was also reaching its season.
Before returning yesterday, he had passed by the offshore base and taken a look. He had intended to find time today to go to the village committee to ask about it, but he had been delayed by the matter with Chen Shi.
Chen Shuji coming to his door was quite timely, saving him a trip.
As soon as kelp was mentioned, Chen Shuji was all smiles. "That's right. Those two workers said it could be harvested before May Day. It depends on the recent growth and weather conditions. They said the water flow in our sea area is also suitable for planting."
"I'm quite free tomorrow, so I'll find some time to go out and take a look to see how long and big the blades are."
"Sure. Anyway, you have your own boat, so you can go check anytime. Many villagers have been going to look every day lately, and they're all very expectant. They all want to see how much that 20-mu base can harvest and how much money it can sell for."
"If this can make money, we can mobilize the villagers to follow suit in the second half of the year. Last year, my son followed the planting lessons and said it's actually quite leisurely. You could say you work for half a year and rest for half a year; you're only busy with the preparatory work in the beginning. Once the seedlings are in, you just need to go out and manage it occasionally. It's not troublesome at all, and the costs aren't high."
That's only because they haven't encountered water pollution, or a major typhoon and severe weather; otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy.
There are risks in doing anything, especially in aquaculture; money isn't that easy to earn.
"A bumper harvest would be best. Everyone can earn money together. I'll also inquire about the purchase price of kelp in a few days and follow the market."
Chen Shuji nodded with a smile, "As long as it can be developed, our village will finally have an industry."
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and added, "I think our village committee could also apply to the county to go to some aquaculture research bases to learn and see, and apply for some species we have here to see if they can be cultivated."
He pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'll think it over with the village chief later."
"Kelp can be considered to have already shown some results. Next year we can plant a bit more. Villagers who are willing can follow along, and those who aren't can continue to wait and see. After all, no one can guarantee how next year will go; just trying it once, one year of harvest doesn't mean the second year will be the same."
"Right. Anyway, the village committee will definitely have to expand the planting area next year. By then, we can collect a bit more spores and produce our own seedlings in the future, so we won't have to buy them from outside anymore."
Ye Yaodong nodded without saying anything. This wasn't for him to consider; anyway, being able to grow it and succeed was enough to prove his contribution.
When he was lying in bed at night, he also spoke to Lin Xiuqing about the Party membership study and the kelp.
"Being able to grow it is a good thing, otherwise it would be a year of work for nothing, and the village committee would have complaints, feeling you were pretending to understand when you didn't and messing around. It's fortunate that it was grown."
"I only said it because I was confident, otherwise would I be bored and have nothing to do? Intentionally letting people mess around? I even sponsored two small boats."
"Hmm, then you can't go out to sea these next few days. You still have to go to the county on Monday. I didn't expect this Party membership study to require going to the county. How long do you have to study?"
"They said there's a one-year observation period. During this time, there will be many political study activities, policy studies, Party spirit education, and so on. I heard I also have to write ideological education reports. If I don't pass, I continue to study; if I pass, then I'm officially a Party member."
"You have to write ideological education reports too?"
"Yeah, just thinking about it gives me a headache. I'll have to find those old guys to help teach me how to write them."
"That really isn't easy. Then you'll have to go practice your chicken-scratch handwriting, so it's not an embarrassment."
"Oh right, damn, then I really have to practice writing like Ye Chenghu."
Ye Yaodong felt troubled just thinking about it. He always talked about practicing calligraphy, but it was just talk; when would he have time to practice every day? If he could write his own name well, that would be a blessing.
He wasn't taking a college entrance exam, so why write such good characters? Better to leave the suffering to his son.
Lin Xiuqing gloated a little, "There are plenty of copybooks at home now. Tell your son tomorrow and let him supervise you. Let him write with you; he'll probably be very happy."
"Hey, let's sleep."
"Sleep for what? I haven't finished asking yet. During the day you said Wang Guangliang was unreliable; what is he doing in the city?"
"You still remember that?"
Ye Yaodong thought it had already passed. He didn't expect her to keep remembering it and save it for the night to talk about; she was quite good at holding it in.
Sure enough, women are very good at settling scores later; they don't make trouble on the spot, but they will settle it all together afterwards.
"Of course I remember. He's also working for us. If there's anything bad, you have to tell me so I have an idea and avoid mistakes."
"It's nothing, he just has the common ailment of men."
"What?"
"Thinking about women, and not being able to hold it in anymore. Others brought him along, and he just went a few times."
Lin Xiuqing's brow furrowed so tightly she could crush a fly.
"How do you know?"
"How could I not know?"
Among men, can this even be called a secret?
When they get together, the dirty jokes never stop, and they're all winking and nudging; who doesn't know?
Besides, men at this age are exactly at the time when they think about women the most.
