Chapter 1456: Glory

Every time the three were together, as long as there was a rival scene, the one bullied was Ye Chenghu.

But he was only angry for a while, and after a while, the three were as good as one person, calling brother and sister.

The two little ones also loved to play behind Ye Chenghu.

Lin Xiuqing came over with a handful of melon seeds and sat down, "Almost started, right?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his wrist, "Two minutes."

Said two minutes, but it was just the beginning of the local station news, talking about local people's livelihood, also related to fishing and agriculture.

After talking about these, more than ten minutes passed, and then it started talking about relevant content for farming.

The city had also been vigorously developing farming these two years, mainly raising sea cucumbers and abalones. Although the results weren't very good, it was already a key pilot farming area.

It just so happened that their village had been farming kelp for 3 years, with significant results, just right to be taken as a typical promotion first.

Not to mention raising high-level things, at least the benefits were seen.

Their village also relied on kelp farming to achieve a surge in per capita income.

And the village cadres also promised that if various units needed it, they could come to their village to visit and participate in farming to learn technology.

This was also a reason why the county attached great importance to it and specially went to the countryside for interviews. After all, as long as technology was learned and knew how to farm, other villages might also achieve a surge in income.

"... In recent years, Bai Sha Village, Yuyang County, in this city, has achieved significant results in the field of kelp farming..."

"Here, here! Mentioned our village!" Lin Xiuqing excitedly tugged at his clothes.

Ye Yaodong also sat upright.

The old lady was also excited and pushed her reading glasses, and moved the stool closer to the TV.

"Is it Dongzi's turn? Then I have to sit closer."

The TV first played the scene of Chen Shuji leading everyone to watch kelp drying.

Chen Shuji also talked eloquently, how many mu farmed this year? How long is the farming cycle? How many tons harvested? Realized that the per capita income of those participating in farming reached more than 600, and there were still some not finished drying.

People in other places didn't know what reaction they had when seeing the TV, but their family was very excited.

Lin Xiuqing excitedly grabbed his hand, "Participating per capita reached more than 600? That's really not little, there are still 20 or 30 tons not weighed here."

"Naive! Chen Shuji definitely estimated this rough calculation, how could it not be counted, this is all his political performance."

"That's true."

After Chen Shuji finished talking about kelp, he simply talked about the development of the village these few years.

This content was originally recorded after Ye Yaodong's recording, but now it was put in front of him and played out.

"Oh, it's Dongzi's turn, it's Dongzi's turn to speak..."

"Your turn!"

"Oh, Dongzi is really good-looking on TV, filmed really well."

"Right, right, so handsome, not much worse than TV stars, spoke really well."

"Right, right, right, spoke really well, this must be seen by the whole province, right?"

Lin Xiuqing nodded excitedly, "Definitely!"

The two women were excited throughout, watching the TV with glowing eyes.

But the content was only a short two minutes, and the screen disappeared suddenly.

Both were disappointed.

"That's it?"

"Why did it disappear so fast? How come I remember it was recorded for quite a long time?"

The old lady didn't believe in evil and leaned to the TV to look carefully, and patted it twice, fearing it was broken, and jumped the screen away.

Ye Yaodong explained: "The recording time was long because it wasn't recorded well, and it was redone several times."

"That's a pity, it was recorded, it should all be played out."

"Hehe, think too much, the advertising in this time slot is very valuable, be content!"

Lin Xiuqing was happy again, "This is famous, I guess the whole village is sitting in front of the TV watching now, all discussing you!"

"Regrettable, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, can't hear it."

"Why don't you go out for a turn, go to the old house, you can hear it."

"Cough, I'll go pick up the three later."

Lin Xiuqing looked at his reaction and laughed, really honest.

"Mom is also smart, moved the TV out and put it at the door for everyone to watch, so even if neighbors have TV to watch, they will want to run out to her place to join the fun. After all, color TV is much better-looking than black and white, and it's lively with many people, and can chat."

"Mm, the newspaper hasn't come out yet, when the newspaper comes out, mail it to me."

"Okay, I'll remember."

Ye Yaodong continued to watch TV, also somewhat proud.

The content wasn't finished yet, the host was still talking about the relevant situation of local farming these two years.

After listening, he went to the old house, and Lin Xiuqing also followed enthusiastically, also wanting to follow and listen.

Originally thought there would be neighbors at the door of the old house, who knew, it turned out that more than half of the village had come. Separated by a long distance, they could hear the sound of a group of children running and jumping, and the noisy talking and laughing of adults.

They could even hear various Ah Dong Ah Dong... when they got closer.

"Ah Dong is really capable, even on TV, this time our village can save face..."

"This is winning glory for our village, making our village famous in the whole city and whole province."

"Just now on TV was my dad!"

"I just said Dongzi this child looked smart when he was small..."

"Can it not be, this man grows up and it's amazing..."

"Dongzi is really our village's representative this time."

"Long said he was a promising one..."

"My dad is on TV!"

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing just appeared, and a child shouted, "Chenghu, your dad is here..."

"Yangyang, your dad is here..."

"My dad is here..."

"Your dad is here..."

These children shouted one louder than the other, more excited than their own sons.

The people in the village were even more so. Hearing that he was here, they all turned their heads to look, and then surrounded him, talking a pile of compliments.

All were what he heard just now, and some had extra novel ideas.

Everyone was glowing, more excited than anything in the middle of the night, mostly women, and some were not from their village, but relatives of people in the village in other villages.

Ye Yaodong was surrounded by everyone excitedly, also somewhat happy, laughing and modest.

Lin Xiuqing was also full of smiles, very proud.

A large group of people were lively for more than

Ye Yaodong had originally intended to help his mother carry the color TV back and then take the three children home.

But his mother was reluctant to go inside so early; she waved her hand and just said to let everyone watch the color TV for a while longer.

Her face was glowing, "A color TV is much clearer than a black-and-white one. The colors are vivid, and the screen is wide and big. Let the big crowd watch it for a while longer. Now that the news is over, there's still a TV series on. Anyway, it's already been moved out, so wait until later when we've finished watching it before moving it back."

"You all go back to yours. You're leaving first thing tomorrow morning, so get some sleep early tonight. We'll watch TV for a while longer."

"With so many neighbors here, once we finish watching TV, everyone will naturally help move it inside. There's no need for you."

Ye Yaodong looked and saw it was true; not one person had moved their butt. They were all eagerly watching the color TV, just waiting to watch the TV series.

"Alright then, you all watch it. I'll take the kids back first."

"Adong hasn't been back long, has he? You're leaving already?"

Ye Mu smiled and replied, "Isn't that so? He has too many boats now; things won't work without him on them. During this period, only his father could help him out for a bit so he could come back to handle things. Now that the TV is set up, he has to go back up and get busy, otherwise, I'm afraid his father won't be able to handle the strain."

"It's only been a few years, and he's already this capable. What will it be like in a few more years?"

"Hehe, this child just has better luck than others, but Dongzi has been smarter than his big brother and second brother since he was small."

"He's also filial. He bought everything that should be bought for you with the money he earned. You're home alone, and he even bought you a big color TV."

"And that's not all; there's also a lot of gold."

These words touched Ye Mu's heart, making her feel ecstatic from the praise.

Praising her son made her even happier than praising her.

Her son was successful and filial, and he brought her honor; she could even wake up laughing from her dreams at night.

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing could still hear them even after they had walked far away.

"Dad, they are all praising you. They've been praising you all night."

"They also praised us for knowing how to be born into the right family."

"Dad, when are you coming back again?"

The three children were jumping and hopping around them, their faces flushed red and covered in sweat; they looked very excited.

"What's wrong, can't bear to part with me?"

"Whenever you come back, our family is very glorious." Ye Chengyang said very loudly.

"Hmm, I let you be born into a good family. When I get old, you'll have to be very filial to me."

"We know!" The three said in unison.

"Then how will you be filial to me?"

The three looked at each other, and all of them were stuck for an answer.

Ye Chenghu said loudly: "When you get old, I'll wash your feet!"

"Not bad! You've made progress."

"Then I'll give you a massage!" Ye Chengyang also said.

Ye Yaodong was also satisfied, "You must keep your word."

Ye Xiaoxi was not to be outdone, "Dad, I'll buy you lots of delicious food, buy you lots of wine to drink, buy you a small car, buy you a big boat, and buy you a big airplane."

Ye Yaodong looked at her with appreciation, "That's right! Being filial requires piling up money!"

It didn't matter if they didn't wash his feet; he could just spend money to hire someone to wash them. It didn't matter if they didn't give him a massage; he could just spend money to hire someone to massage him.

It didn't matter if they didn't have money now; the important thing was the attitude!

"She's bragging!" Ye Chenghu shouted.

Ye Xiaoxi raised her chin and shouted proudly: "It's not bragging. When I have money, I will definitely buy everything for Dad!"

Ye Chenghu was unconvinced, "Then what if you don't have money?"

"Then I'll have Dad buy it for me!"

"Damn!"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Your abacus is certainly calculating quite well."

Ye Yaodong was also amused.

"Thinking is beautiful, and you shouted so loudly. Who gave you the confidence?"

"Hehe, Dad loves me the most."

"You're certainly good at painting cakes."

"Let's race and see who gets home first. Start, charge……"

"Ah ah ah, you're cheating, don't run……"

"Ye Erge, you're cheating! Congratulations on getting rich, charge~ take first place!"

The two of them ran while talking.

The couple behind them kept shouting for them to slow down, but no one listened to them.

The village was silent at this moment; everyone was either watching TV in their own homes or watching the color TV at his old home. Even the children were basically all near his old home.

"There aren't enough hands to move the goods tomorrow. I'll let those aunties and sisters in the workshop help move them together."

"That's fine too."

"Everyone is used to carrying loads anyway. Now that we are temporarily short of people, it's fine to let them do the moving once. Otherwise, when will the 30 tons of goods be moved? It will delay the departure, and we'll have to keep the people on the boat waiting. After all, it's not our own boat; we're hitching a ride on someone else's."

"Hmm, you arrange it as you see fit."

"I already talked to everyone in the evening, and there are no problems."

"Good."

"Moving the goods shouldn't be that fast either. You don't have to get up so early; I'll get up early to arrange it."

Ye Yaodong held her hand, "Are you treating yourself like a beast of burden? You're even fighting to do my work. Shouldn't you be the one sleeping more?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled, "Isn't it because I see you're going on a long journey again? You'll have to sit on a boat for a day or two again, so I want you to sleep more and get enough energy. Anyway, I know Lin Ji too."

"No need, just come less often at night and go to sleep early."

She gave him a coquettish glare, "What are you saying? You have no decency, and we're still outside……"

"No one is here."

"Walk faster. It's so late, and the two of them haven't finished their homework yet. If they go back now, they'll definitely still be watching TV. They'll have to be scolded a few times before they get serious."

"Before I left two months ago, I bought the color TV. It was very timely and came in handy. It was worth buying."

"Hehehe, that's true. This money wasn't spent in vain. Buying early really means enjoying early. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a clear color TV to watch right now."

Ye Yaodong was thinking that after he went up, he would encourage Fatty to buy a color TV and install it in the cafeteria!

As for why he didn't install it himself and told Fatty to install it……

Hasn't the cafeteria been contracted out? Besides the cafeteria, where else is there a larger public place?

Just install a TV, and the popularity will explode instantly. Everyone won't have to run outside, and it can reduce nightlife. After a day of work, they can come back, eat a meal, and watch TV for entertainment.

Set up a small shop in the cafeteria to sell cigarettes, alcohol, drinks, and snacks, and the sales will skyrocket.

For everyone, this life is even happier than being at home. They have money in their hands, freedom of cigarettes and alcohol, no one nagging or managing them, and TV to watch.

Buying a color TV is also a small matter for Fatty.

The couple walked slowly home. The three were indeed sitting in front of the TV with their eyes wide open, watching with great interest, not even blinking once.

Lin Xiuqing said faintly: "You don't need to do your homework, right?"

"Right away."

They said it simply, but the two of them moved their butts slowly, lifted themselves up slowly, and their bodies moved forward, but their eyes were slanted and didn't move at all.

"Your necks are going to twist."

Only then did the two turn their necks, dawdling to the table to sit down. The homework they had laid out before was still the same as it was now.

They picked up their pens, glanced at the TV, then glanced at Lin Xiuqing's tiger-like gaze, and immediately lowered their heads in a hurry.

Ye Yaodong said: "Turn it off, otherwise they won't finish even if they stay up until dawn. It just so happens I want to sleep early too."

"Good."

"Can't you let Big Brother go upstairs to write?" Ye Xiaoxi wanted to watch TV.

"They will be dishonest and secretly sit at the stair entrance. You go to the neighbor's house to find the sisters to play and watch TV with them."

"But they don't have a color TV at their house."

"Black and white is fine to watch too, otherwise you go to sleep now."

"No!"

She took off running outside.

How could she be willing to sleep so early?

The old lady said: "You go to sleep first. Let her sleep with me later, so she won't disturb your sleep when she returns to the room after playing enough."

"Good."

His luggage for departure had already been packed. When he came back, he carried a sack, and when he left, he carried the same sack, only the old lady had packed a bit too many vegetables, wishing she could bring everything in the house for him.

There were also various small chicks of different colors, and tender yellow ducklings, 20 of them packed together, right inside the bamboo basket.

A piece of fluffiness that made people want to grab it.

Ye Yaodong got up early and saw several children surrounding the basket, their heads squeezed into a pile, half of their bodies buried inside the basket.

"Wow, the chicks and ducklings are really so cute……"

"Don't touch, you can't touch!" Ye Xiaoxi shouted at them like a little adult, "My mother said if you touch them, they won't grow up and will become weaklings!"

"My mother scolds me as a weakling every day."

Ye Xiaoxi raised her voice, "I'm talking about the chicks and ducklings becoming weaklings……"

"What are you doing? Surrounding here early in the morning."

Pei Yu looked up, "Sister ran to our house and woke us all up."

Ye Yaodong looked at Ye Xiaoxi, "Why did you get up so early?"

"Great-Grandma got up, so I got up, and then no one was playing, it was so boring, so I went to find the younger sister."

"Eat break……"

He was just about to ask if they had eaten, when he saw the two younger twins secretly taking advantage of the fact that they weren't paying attention, grabbing the chicks and ducklings and hiding them inside their own clothes, and also in their pants pockets.

May Day had just passed, and the weather hadn't completely warmed up yet. Spring warmth and autumn freezing, the two brothers were wearing identical blue sweater vests in addition to the shirts inside.

At this moment, the vests were bulging, and he didn't know how many they had stuffed in.

Seeing him look over, the one who had just grabbed one into his pants pocket quickly took it out, thinking he hadn't seen the living creature moving around inside his bulging sweater, and then gave him a fawning smile.

"Jiu Jiu~"

He didn't know if this was the eldest or the second, but after fawningly shouting at him, he pulled the other one and said in a low voice, "Run fast……"

The other one was a bit silly, still lowering his head and stuffing chicks into his pants pocket, then raised his head and looked at him blankly, and then looked at the others who were staring at them at this moment.

The clever one stomped his foot and ran toward the door. Ye Yaodong stepped forward and caught him by the back of his collar.

"Where are you running to?"

He looked at Ye Yaodong dejectedly, "Jiu Jiu……"

"Are you the eldest or the second?"

"Dad, he is Dabao."

Ye Yaodong looked carefully, the second one had a tear mole under his eye.

The two didn't actually look exactly the same, just very similar, and could be distinguished, but he was home less often, and the children were small and growing fast, so he hadn't specifically tried to distinguish them.

Ye Yaodong poked Dabao's belly, "Explain."

Pei Zuo dejectedly reached his hand into his collar and grabbed one of the chicks from inside.

"So cute, Dabao wants to raise it."

Ye Yaodong continued to signal at his belly, so he had no choice but to continue digging.

After digging, he looked at Ye Yaodong's gaze again, and then could only continue digging.

Then he dug one out, looked, dug one out, looked, until he had dug 4 out, emptying what was stuffed inside his clothes.

He had a mournful face, tears almost coming down, "There are no more."

"Pants pocket."

"555, there's only one left……"

"Taking it without telling the adults, this is called stealing, do you know? Children cannot steal."

"Not stealing, Dabao, raise it big, return it to you." He said in a milky voice, tears hanging in his eyes, still thinking about holding them back.

"Doesn't your house have them?"

Xiaobao also shouted in a small milky voice, "Mother won't let us touch them."

"So you're harming mine?"

Ye Xiaoxi said: "Dad, they grabbed the chicks and ducklings into their quilt a few days ago, and they pooped a lot, so the little aunt hit them and wouldn't let them touch them."

"It's raining, it will be cold……" Xiaobao said in a low voice.

Ye Yaodong was speechless, "Take out the ones in your clothes too."

Xiaobao crossed his arms over his chest.

Ye Xiaoxi went straight for it, grabbed his clothes and went to grab, "I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Just after grabbing one out and putting it in the basket, she saw her hand stained with chicken poop.

"Ah ah ah, poop, it pooped, so disgusting, so disgusting……"

While talking, she wiped her hand on Xiaobao, "Wa wa, return it to you, return it to you……"

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but support his forehead and pull her away, "Go wash your hands yourself."

Xiaobao pulled open the collar of his vest and looked inside his clothes, then giggled.

"Brother, look, look, they are on Xiaobao's belly……"

Dabao instantly forgot to cry and leaned over, the two brothers' heads pressed against each other, looking inside the clothes.

Pei Yu was also curious, the three heads gathered together, and then wa wa shouted again.

Ye Yaodong moved all three heads away, grabbed the chickens and ducks out, and the shirt inside already had chicken and duck poop.

"Xiaoyu, take your two younger brothers back to get a beating first."

Pei Yu pulled one younger brother with each hand, with a straight face, "Not obedient, go home and get beaten!"

They immediately shook their heads like a rattle drum and then wanted to struggle.

Ye Xiaoxi also rushed out at this time and helped pull, "Take you home to get beaten!"

"No, scared scared……"

The twins were already crying in fear.

"Go…… give me go……"

The two iron-hearted sisters, one grabbing one, were about to drag them home to get beaten.

Ye Yaodong counted the chickens and ducks in the basket, exactly 10 of each, worried that they would be played to death if he didn't see them in the blink of an eye, so he lifted the basket and walked toward the workshop.

He didn't know how early Lin Xiuqing had gotten up, but at this moment, a mountain-like pile of kelp had already been piled up on the pier.

The boat on Lin Ji hadn't arrived yet, and he estimated she had already moved a third of it.

The women in the workshop were also working together to move the kelp out of the warehouse and lift it onto the tractor.

The tractor's rear carriage was facing the warehouse door, so it was just a few steps to move, lift it onto the car, and then the tractor would pull it to the pier.

This was actually better, no need to rely on manual labor to lift it to the pier.

Ye Yaodong looked at them all covered in sweat and said: "Thank you all for your hard work, the men are not at home……"

"Hehe, what hard work, the leaders have said, women can hold up half the sky!"

"Yes, just moving a little kelp, what does this count as."

"That's right, the wet kelp is soggy when it's collected, we've even moved that."

"Where is Aqing?"

"She is watching the unloading outside the pier, the tractor and the flatbed cart are taking turns transporting, it's faster."
