Chapter 1301
Ye Yaodong thought that since his two brothers knew, he might as well go to the others' place after eating to tell them and ask for their opinions, so as to avoid some knowing and some not, thinking they were being ignored.
Everyone lived not far away, so he took it as a post-meal walk and strolled around.
Knowing that they could go back in just 10 days or so, the workers all cheered. They were idle after eating, so they spontaneously followed him to the next house.
After everyone was notified, they still followed behind him chatting as usual and went home with him. The atmosphere was as lively as the New Year.
The neighbors wondered what happened to them. Once they heard, it turned out that these outsiders planned to go home early.
The landlady, an old woman, even came over to ask Ye Yaodong if he wanted to rent again next year. If he wanted to rent, she would keep the house for him.
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment. The two rooms he was living in now plus a main room only cost 10 yuan a month.
Moreover, this landlady was quite nice, bringing him the vegetables they grew every few days. He would need a place to stay when he came back next year.
He wasn't sure when he would come next year, so after thinking about it, he gave the landlady 100 yuan directly, asking her to reserve the house for him for 10 months.
He wasn't sure when he would come, so he would reserve it in advance and not rent it out.
Perhaps he would come over early by himself next year, or come over to take a look when he had some free time in a couple of months; that was also possible.
After all, the land matter definitely had to be organized in advance; he couldn't wait until everyone came in the second half of the year to start construction temporarily.
Anyway, Suren drove a large vehicle and would pass by their place every few days. If possible, he could contact him in advance, and he could also ride Suren's large vehicle back and forth to handle business.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the inconvenience of taking a car, and it could go directly there.
The old woman took the 100 yuan and smiled, revealing her toothless gums. Her dark, leathery face wrinkled into a ball, and she nodded happily and agreed, guaranteeing that no matter when he came, she would keep the room for him.
Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and added, "I might not come that early. You two old folks can move in and live there first. When I come, you can move out."
The room he lived in was originally for the old couple to retire in. They were also nearly 80 years old, and their sons lived nearby.
After renting out this house, the old couple cleaned out the pigsty where they raised pigs at the entrance, built a wall, set up a small stove at the entrance, and moved in.
The roof was still thatched. Before it snowed, it was he who asked the workers to climb onto the roof to clear the snow for them.
Now, although he had rented the house, he definitely wouldn't be here for most of the year, so it would be better to let the two old folks move in.
The old woman muttered, "How can that be? You rented it..."
She spoke in the local dialect. Ye Yaodong guessed and looked at her waving hands, knowing what she meant.
"It doesn't matter. If I'm not here, it's empty anyway. A house will fall into disrepair if no one lives in it. You guys just move in and live there first, and move out when I come?"
"Then I'll see, I'll ask the old man..."
Ye Yaodong looked at the workers who were swarming into the room and planning to set up a gambling table, and didn't bother with them.
In this icy and snowy weather, there was nowhere to go. Gathering together, they could only play cards and open a gambling table. Anyway, it wasn't long after lunch, and it was still early before dinner.
He looked at his watch, greeted his father, and walked out again.
He still had to take the film to be developed, and by the way, he also had to make a phone call back.
He didn't have time to make a call yesterday, so he let his father make one first. It just so happened that it was office hours now, so he could go to the post and telecommunications bureau to make it.
Lin Xiuqing was extremely disappointed that she didn't receive his call yesterday, and Ye Xiaoxi had also been drooping her head for a whole day.
At this moment, upon hearing someone shouting at the door that there was a call for her, Ye Xiaoxi rushed out faster than her, and shouted while running.
"My father called back... My father called back..."
She shouted louder and louder, wishing the whole village knew.
She didn't cry even when she fell halfway. She stood up, patted her knees, patted her hands, and continued to rush toward the village committee.
"Grandpa, my father called back... Where is my father's call?"
Chen Shuji sat at the door sunning himself and said with a smile, "Wait two more minutes, answer it when the phone rings."
"Great, Grandpa, my father is coming back, do you know?"
"My father said he would buy me lots of toys, lots of hair clips, and beautiful hair bands, lots of cards..."
"My father also said he would buy me lots of delicious food to eat as a meal. Grandpa, do you have a father? Did your father buy you any?"
Chen Shuji was left speechless by her question, "My father is old, it's my turn to buy for him..."
"Then when I'm old, my father will still buy for me. My father is going to buy for me until I'm 100..."
"Then when you answer the phone later, ask your father if he can buy for you until you're 100."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Xiuqing didn't run as fast as her, and when she arrived, she just heard her say these words that left people speechless.
"That also requires your father to live to be over 120 years old to buy for you until you're 100."
"Then I'll tell my father to live to 120 later, and buy lots of delicious food for you too, Mother."
"I can't live that long."
"Then let my father share some with you, he can live a little less."
The people around laughed out loud, and Lin Xiuqing couldn't hold it together either.
The women around said to her with a smile, "Then remember to ask your father later if he's willing to live a little less, so your mother can live a little longer."
Ye Xiaoxi looked at this one and that one, not knowing what they were laughing at, and just nodded.
Everyone laughed even more happily.
At this moment, the phone in the room rang again, and Ye Xiaoxi was the first to rush in and pick up the phone.
"Hello, is it my father?"
Ye Yaodong listened to the milky voice and asked with a smile, "Who is your father?"
"My father is Salty Fish Dong..."
The smile on Ye Yaodong's face froze.
"That's not right."
"Then it's Fish Sauce Dong."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh out loud on the side.
Ye Yaodong was even more speechless, "Wrong!"
Ye Xiaoxi held the phone in her hand and looked up at Lin Xiuqing, "Mother, he said I was wrong. Then who is my father?"
"Call him President Ye and see if he answers."
Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly said, "Are you President Ye?"
Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Yes, you guessed it."
"Mother, he said he is President Ye, so he is not my father." After saying that, she held the phone up to Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiuqing took it with a smile, "Your daughter said you are not her father."
Ye Yaodong said gloomily, "If I'm not her father, then she was picked up."
"Why are you still teasing her like this? She was already angry and nagging for a day because she didn't receive your call yesterday."
"What was she nagging about?"
"Like a little adult, she was nagging there: 'Don't know how to call back, don't know how to call back every day, said he would buy me gifts, didn't see any...'"
Lin Xiuqing imitated her tone and said a bunch.
