Chapter 1516: Year

Ye Chenghe was confused and watched them leave. It was time for dinner, and they were still walking out?

"Forget about them, let's go, say hello to Third Uncle and go home for dinner."

Chen Xiuni nodded with a smile.

Ye Yaodong looked at the fresh and tender niece-in-law and just smiled and nodded, then gave Ye Chenghe a few words, telling him to treat his wife better in the future.

Ye Chenghe patted his chest and promised, "Of course, in the future, if she tells me to go east, I will never go west. Whatever she says is what it is. This is what I chased back after following her butt every day with great difficulty."

Chen Xiuni's face was red, and she kept pulling his clothes.

"It's okay, my Third Uncle is the easiest to talk to. He took us to play every day when we were young and even gave me cigarettes to smoke."

Ye Mu glared at Ye Yaodong, "I said how they had cigarettes secretly every day when they were twelve or thirteen. You taught them all to be bad."

Ye Yaodong touched his nose, "Isn't it that they sponged my cigarettes? And I didn't care about them?"

Ye Chenghe laughed, "When I was young, seeing Third Uncle with a cigarette in his mouth and two more behind his ears, I felt it was too cool."

"Isn't it because I'm handsome?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Third Uncle is the most handsome in the whole village."

Ye Mu muttered, "The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked."

Ye Yaodong asked, "Why are you the only one back? Didn't you say Ahai and Ajiang were running out early in the morning with you?"

"Yes, they came back too, but they suddenly turned around when they walked to the door. I don't know what they were doing. They just told me to say hello to you, and then they slipped away, saying they wouldn't eat, and I don't know what they were doing."

"These two little rabbits, did they hear what I just said and are hiding from me?" Ye Mu said angrily.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Why are you worrying so much? Aren't they still young? They are only 19 or 20 after the New Year. Why must you make them get married so early? The world outside is colorful."

"Colorful your head, colorful. Establish a family before establishing a career. Marry a wife early, and someone will manage the family for them and take care of them. Only then can they do their own things well. Who doesn't get married at that age?"

"That also requires them to like it. How can you force it? Besides, they are all childish. If they get married, don't they have to take on family responsibilities? Can they..."

"Why can't they? It's precisely because they get married that they have to take on family responsibilities to become mature and steady. Otherwise, they are like children all day long. When will they grow up?"

"That also requires them to be willing, right? If they are not willing, can you force them to marry and enter the bridal chamber for them?"

Ye Mu patted him, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"They are also grown up, they are all adults, and they have seen the world, so they must have their own ideas. If they are not willing now, don't force them. When they figure it out, they will naturally bring a granddaughter-in-law back for you."

"When will they figure it out? They are outside all year round, in a pile of men. Don't talk about girls, they don't even know a few females. If we don't take advantage of the New Year to help them arrange it, when will they be able to marry a wife?"

"That's true..."

"Get married early, otherwise good girls will be picked by others."

"That still requires respecting their ideas. After all, they are not big, so there is no need to be so anxious. They have slipped away again now. Let's talk to them properly tomorrow and ask what they think. You can't force them."

Lin Xiuqing interrupted them with a smile, "Don't talk about them here, Chenghe and Xiaoni are still here."

"Oh, let's talk tomorrow, people have run away."

Ye Mu enthusiastically pulled Chen Xiuni to talk. Lin Xiuqing had already taken out the melon and fruit cans at home to entertain people, and enthusiastically kept people to sit down and eat.

However, Ye's eldest sister-in-law had already kept food there, so they just sat for a while, and Ye Chenghe took people back.

The next day, New Year's Eve, Ye Chenghai and Ye Chengjiang couldn't run anywhere. They were pulled to work early in the morning, helping the family paste couplets, paste window flowers, and helping their respective fathers kill chickens and ducks.

Ye Mu naturally seized the opportunity to brainwash them constantly, and even Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law hoped they could get married quickly.

Their family conditions are not bad now, and their family foundation is thick, so naturally, they hope for a prosperous family.

In rural areas, people originally got married at eighteen, nineteen, or twenty. In the eyes of the older generation, when you reach the age, you should get married, for no reason.

"... Look at you, you are several years older than Chenghe, and you still haven't figured it out. He is about to get engaged..."

Ye Chenghai turned his head and glared at Ye Chenghe, "Blame you?"

"Why? What does it have to do with me?"

"If you don't get married, nothing will happen? You don't learn well at a young age, and you are all about women all day long, following behind women's butts..."

Ye's eldest sister-in-law slapped him, but could only reach his shoulder, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You can't find a partner yourself and you still have reason?"

Ye Chenghe echoed gloatingly, "That is, you deserve to be a bachelor."

"Can't I find a partner? I just don't want to find one. Women are troublesome to death."

Ye Chenghai hadn't been at home for a year, and his height had shot up. He was already nearly two heads taller than Ye's eldest sister-in-law. If he didn't want to be beaten, his mother couldn't hit him at all.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and smoothed things over, "Ahai and Ajiang are just not destined yet. When the fate comes, they will naturally get married. When the time comes, each of them will bring you a daughter-in-law from the city."

"It would be great if it were really like that. I could laugh awake in my dreams."

Ye Chenghai rolled his eyes and ignored his mother.

After finishing the work at hand, he leaned over to Ye Yaodong's side.

"Third Uncle, when are you going to the provincial capital? Your big truck hasn't been driven back yet, right?"

"Wait until after the New Year, after drinking Chenghe's engagement wine, I will go to the provincial capital."

"Then I will go with you when the time comes, leave early, otherwise I won't be able to stand it."

"Do you not want to find a partner in the village, or do you not want to find a partner?"

"Of course I don't want to find a partner in the village. I've seen it from small to big, who doesn't know who? If we have a fight, it won't take two hours, and it can spread from the head of the village to the end of the village."

Ye Yaodong was speechless for a while, "You haven't even gotten married, and you've already thought about hitting your wife?"

"How can that be? I'm just making an analogy. Which couple in the village doesn't quarrel? There are quite a few who move and hit the door. I don't want to find someone in the village."

"That's good. I found someone from another village, not in the village." Ye Chenghe didn't know when he came over and followed, "Is there a difference? At most one hour, it spreads from the head of the village to the end of the village, and it becomes two hours from this village to another village."

Ye Chengjiang also said, "I still remember when I was young, my father hit my mother, and then my uncle, my aunt, and a large group of them all came to the door, and my father didn't dare to make a sound."

"You guys are thinking quite... detailed."

He didn't expect that they didn't go on blind dates because they were afraid of finding someone in the village, or because they were too close and had no freshness.

"Hehe, this is the experience gained from childhood!"

"Then bring one back from the city next year, and your mother will shut up immediately."

"I'll try my best. If I have a motorcycle, I can take my partner to fly."

"That's not simple. Just tell your mother directly that you can bring a partner from the city back for her, provided she buys you a motorcycle!"

"That's New Year's Eve, she will shave me."

"Then you buy it with your own ability."

"Sigh..."

Ye Chenghe was triumphant, "A motorcycle is not simple, I can buy it if I want to."

"Have you finished paying off the debt to your father?"

"Finished, working day and night, finally finished. I also finished paying off the money for buying the tractor. From tomorrow on, what I earn will all be mine."

Ye Chenghai looked envious, "Why is all the money earned by fools? Smart people are really miserable."

"Those who can't earn money are fools!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the two brothers bickering happily, "This is called a fool having a fool's blessing."

"Then Third Uncle, I will go to the provincial capital with you when the time comes."

"Good."

"Big brother, I think you might as well let Father buy you a tractor and follow us to drive the tractor. This earns more. You only earn a few dozen yuan a month at work, it's too little, we earn several hundred a month."

Ye Chenghe was rarely brotherly. It was fine to fight and play usually, but when he really earned money, he also thought about his brother earning money together.

"Then you earn well, earn more. When I can't mix anymore, I will go to you, so I don't have to work hard."

"Get out."

Ye Chengjiang also persuaded, "Really, Ahai, you might as well just go drive the tractor with us."

"What can you learn by driving a tractor? If I really want to earn money, I might as well go learn to drive a big Liberation truck. Doesn't Third Uncle have a ready-made one soon?"

"Then why don't you go learn? If you didn't enter the factory last year, you could have learned well this year."

"Let's see."

Ye Chenghai prevaricated, and both of them heard it, so they didn't say anything more.

However, after they left, Ye Yaodong asked again if he really had any ideas or just wanted to mix it up. Ye Chenghai told the truth this time.

"I want to do it first, accumulate more experience, and then set up a maintenance point myself? Or do some spare parts? Let's see, do it well first, learn the technology first, so that I won't be cheated. You don't know how busy the shipyard is. It's produced in 3 shifts every day, and it can't be produced. Orders can't be ordered, and imports are not so easy to buy. It would be good if we can produce comprehensively ourselves."

"Quite an idea, then you continue to do it, suffer first and then sweet, this industry should also be in the budding stage now."

"I'll do it first, explore and see. If I really can't mix, can't eat this meal, then I'll go to Third Uncle, Third Uncle, don't dislike me when the time comes."

"That won't happen, a ship repairman picked up for nothing, why wouldn't I want it."

"Good, as long as there is a meal to eat."

Ye Yaodong felt that Ye Chenghai having this idea was quite good. Although he couldn't earn much money now, as long as he understood, had technology, was familiar with the industry's way, and had his own ideas, he would definitely not be bad.

So, you have to go out and see to broaden your horizons. Otherwise, you will stay in the village for a lifetime. What ideas can you have? You can only muddle along, follow the public, and eat a meal.

When eating New Year's Eve dinner, Ye Yaodong also told Ye Mu, saying that Ye Chenghai wanted to find a wife in the city and didn't want to find one in the village, so she didn't need to toss anymore.

"In the city? Can someone in the city find someone in our countryside? And where in the city? He is in the provincial capital, and he still wants to find someone in the provincial capital? Is he dreaming?"

"You are looking down on people. How can he be your eldest grandson? You are looking down on people like this?"

"Where, of course it's good to find someone in the provincial capital, I'm not afraid he can't find it? Who would find a country boy well? If he can really find it, wouldn't he have to worship people like ancestors?"

"Then manage him, it's not like asking you to worship people? Don't worry about it. Ahai has ideas, just follow him. When he is twenty-five or twenty-six and still not married, it's not too late for you to urge him."

Ye Mu muttered, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be too high and not low..."

Ye Fu said, "That's also something his parents should worry about. Why are you worrying so much? Manage yourself well. Otherwise, if you keep interfering, it won't go well, and you will have to blame you when the time comes."

"I'm just eating radishes and worrying about light, okay?"

"Eat, eat, why say these things, Happy New Year's Eve, everyone have a drink, year after year, year after year, year after year, year after year better."

Ye Fu raised his glass happily, "Come, come, Happy New Year."

After New Year's Eve, it is 1989.

Time flies, year after year, Ye Yaodong didn't feel much change, but skipping the middle few years, looking back at 1982 and now 1989, the change is a sky and a ground.

It is really year after year better, year after year.

Not counting fixed assets, just the circulating cash in hand, he has more than three million, and it is growing several times every year.

If he didn't buy those fixed assets, the circulating cash in his hand would be even more incredible.

Ye Yaodong calculated silently and wanted to lie flat.

But people are always greedy. When they have no money, they think about being well-off, but when they are well-off, they think about the middle class, and when they are middle class, they think about going up.

Human desire is endless.

Once you have it, you want something better. Once you have money, you will still want to earn more money.

And he couldn't stop at all. Now it's not that he can stop if he says he doesn't do it.

When the couple lay together in the middle of the night, they talked about it.

However, Ye Yaodong also told her that after a few years, when they recruit more talents, they can all be more relaxed and have extra time.

Now the two are only thirty-two years old, and in a few years, they will still be in their prime.

When the motherland is prosperous and strong, they will naturally have money and leisure, and they can also look at the great mountains and rivers of the motherland everywhere and start enjoying life.

Lin Xiuqing lay in his arms, listening to him talk about the future, also full of smiles, full of happiness.

The second day of the New Year is to return to the maiden home as usual. In recent years, the village of Xiuqing's maiden home has long known that their family has risen to heaven. Every time Ye Yaodong goes, the surrounding neighbors gather to watch.

Ye Yaodong brought a pile of cigarettes as usual, distributed two to everyone, and everyone praised him.

And he also found an opportunity to chat with Xiuqing's two eldest nephews about the situation this year. Although both were novices and young, they talked about big cars in a reasonable way.

He thought to himself, wait a few days to drive the big car back first, take a look along the way, if there is no problem, then let them drive the big car and set off for Zhoushan.

When the time comes, he will also arrange for twenty or thirty people to sit directly on the big car to prevent insecurity on the road.

Once they arrive in Zhoushan, they won't be afraid of anything.

Anyway, his delivery is also in that small place and the surrounding area, and there are many people on hand. If anything happens, he can respond to everything.

In case they really can't repair the car, there are many masters who drive big cars locally. It is not difficult to ask someone to take a look. Anyway, they are not running long distances, so they don't have to worry too much about being afraid of not having a village in front and not having a shop behind when walking on mountain roads.

And delivering goods in one place is also simple, and it can also let the two boys accumulate experience.

Over the past year, the two have also run long distances with the master, and can hold on to some extent.

After leaving Xiuqing's maiden home, he also set the date for driving on the seventh day of the New Year to the provincial capital.

The sixth day of the New Year is Chenghe's engagement. After drinking the wedding wine, he will leave. Arrange things early, and when the fifteenth day is over, he can leave.

Before leaving, he still has a lot of preparatory work to do, many things have to be scheduled, go to the provincial capital, he estimates that it will be delayed for several days, naturally the faster the better.

Ye Chenghe is the earliest engaged among the grandchildren, naturally, he has received the attention of the whole family.

Just after the New Year, the family has already started to arrange. The big items to be bought and the layout have already been prepared before the New Year. After the New Year, they started to arrange.

These three households are all decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the tables, bowls, and chopsticks have been rented and piled up in the corners of the wall, waiting for the day to be set up.

They prepared 18 tables for an engagement. Half of the whole village are relatives. This does not count the woman's family. Engagement does not invite the woman's relatives, only the woman's family.

Ye Yaodong took out the guarantee letter written by Chenghe before. At that time, it was said that he was married to Chen Xiuni, and he didn't need him to pack a red envelope. He pondered whether to frame it and send it to him now, or wait until he gets married...

It hasn't been a few years, and the handwriting is still clearly identifiable.

Lin Xiuqing saw him take out the well-preserved note and couldn't help laughing.

"You pressed this note quite flat?"

"Of course, this is a wedding gift to be sent to him. I specially clipped it in the notebook and pressed it tightly, just like new. Forget it, I won't send it this time, let him get engaged happily, and I will frame it and send it to him when he gets married."

"Are you really planning not to pack human feelings?"

"Of course, I sent a gift, what else do I pack? Can't you pack it?"

"Okay, people pack human feelings and write the name of the head of the family. You are good, let me pack it."

"Aren't you the head of our family?"

"Less come."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and changed the subject, "Chenghe is also a fool with a fool's blessing. He didn't study well, just pestered the female classmate, didn't expect he really married her home."

"Very good, it shows that this book was not read in vain. At least he read a wife back, very powerful."

"Today, the eldest sister-in-law also came to me and said, let you help arrange it, and get Jingjing to work in the canned fish factory in the second half of the year. I just said that her book hasn't been finished yet, no need to be anxious..."

She frowned when she said this, and she was very disapproving in her heart.

"Isn't this still in the second year of junior high? It will be the third year of junior high in the second half of the year, and it will graduate next year, right?"

"Yes, she just saw that Xiuxiu can go to the factory to work in the second half of the year, and Dongqing was arranged to the factory last year. She couldn't sit still, so she thought that anyway, she couldn't study, so it would be good to earn money early."

?? Wait for another chapter, I was extremely awake after drinking coffee at night.
