~16 min read 3,066 words

When the old lady was burning the fire, she touched her glasses and chain from time to time, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Ye Chengyang saw it and went to get a mirror for her, "Grandma, I'll light the fire, you go to the door and look, the light at the door is good."

"It's too hot, don't sit there all the time, it's fine once the fire is lit."

"Hey."

The old lady took the mirror and obediently walked to the door to look, feeling beautiful.

Ye Xiaoxi had just received a bribe and happily continued to run to flatter her.

Ye Yaodong looked at his second son's well-behaved appearance, touched his pocket, secretly took out 100, and quietly handed it to Ye Chengyang.

Ye Chengyang's eyes widened, looking at the banknote in disbelief, but he didn't hesitate at all. If you give money for free and don't take it, you're a fool.

He quickly pulled it away and stuffed it into his pocket, then, just like Ye Xiaoxi, secretly glanced at her with a guilty conscience.

Seeing that she didn't notice, he smiled flatteringly at Ye Yaodong again.

He felt that he had received favoritism, his heart was incomparably joyful, and he was full of excitement.

"Dad, I definitely won't spend it randomly."

"Mm, keep it well, don't let your sister see."

"Got it."

He felt secretly happy again in his heart.

Ye Yaodong saw the water in the pot boiling, so he cracked the ten eggs on the stove into the pot one by one.

"Hey hey hey, I'll do it, I'll do it, Dongzi, you sit and rest for a while, I'll do it..."

The old lady saw it and hurriedly put down the mirror, stepped forward to grab the work, "I'll do it, they want to eat what I cook, I'll do it, and I have to add sugar."

Ye Yaodong didn't force it. If she loved to do it, let her do it. Anyway, she wouldn't be tired. He stood aside and watched, chatting along the way.

"It doesn't seem that hot at home. What have you been doing at home lately?"

"It's not hot at home, it's very cool. Every day I just help your mother feed the chickens and dogs, plant some vegetables, watch TV, and watch the house. You don't say, that TV show about the White Snake is quite good. Have you seen it? That TV show about a snake repaying kindness..."

The old lady was full of excitement when she talked about TV. In the past, what good TV was there? There were only a limited number of channels playing news.

"I've seen it, Grandma, I've seen it, I've seen it at home, it's called Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Xu Xian..."

Ye Xiaoxi also jumped up excitedly, wowing and calling. This TV series spoke to her heart.

When they were at school, they also discussed various TV series during breaks.

"Right, right, right... it just finished airing, we can watch a new episode tonight..."

"I haven't watched it for two days on the ship!"

Ye Chengyang also said, "I've already watched it once a few months ago, and now I'm watching it for the second time..."

"But I didn't watch every episode. I have to go to school and do homework every day. Mom doesn't let us watch too late, and I have to do homework before I can watch, so I missed a lot."

"... That old monk is too bad."

"Right, that bad monk is called Fahai, too bad. Bai Suzhen didn't do anything bad, but he insisted on capturing her, too hateful..."

"I saw the ending, Bai Suzhen's son became the top scholar and saved her..."

"Really?"

The three generations of the family actively discussed the TV series, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. The three of them had no generation gap at this time.

By the time they all ate the hot spring eggs, they were still actively discussing.

The old lady also sighed, "You don't say, there are more and more TV series now, and the channels we can receive are much better. Later, there will be channels starting to sing operas. In the past, there was nothing to watch."

Ye Yaodong said while eating, "There will be more and better ones in the future. You're just idle at home anyway, so it's good to watch TV, and you won't be bored."

Ye Xiaoxi echoed, "I also want to be like Grandma, watching TV at home every day, not having to go to school, not having to do homework."

"Hehehe, that won't do. Grandma is old, my legs and feet are not good, I can't go anywhere, I can only watch the house and watch TV at home. You are still young, read more books, you can go anywhere in the future."

"Grandma, when I grow up, I'll take you to see Tiananmen in Beijing, that's our capital!" Ye Chengyang had heard it many times and learned to draw a pie.

The old lady waved her hand with a smile, "Can't go, it's too far. You help Grandma go see it, and bring back photos for Grandma to see."

"Then you just watch more TV at home. The TV series and news streets filmed on TV are all our country's."

"Hey, good, good, good..."

Ye Xiaoxi curiously changed the subject, "Grandma, when did our village repair the cement road? It's really good, no mud on rainy days, and no potholes everywhere."

"It started repairing at the beginning of the New Year. Your dad donated a lot of money and repaired the roads in our village. I heard that only our village has cement roads in this area, other villages don't, and only the town has them further away."

"Dad, you're too amazing!"

"You don't even know this? It was said during the New Year that Dad took the lead in donating a large sum of money, and then every household in the village also donated." Ye Chengyang recalled a little.

Ye Yaodong said, "It's good that the road is repaired. The road is much wider, and it will be convenient for cars to enter and exit in the future. It's also convenient for Grandma to go in and out, and it's easy to walk."

"It's much easier to walk. In the past, it took a long time to walk to the beach. Now the road is flat, and walking doesn't take much effort. It's just that when the road was opened, you weren't there, and it let your dad be in the limelight. The stone tablet and red cloth for the road repair should have been unveiled by you, and you should have taken photos for memory."

The old lady felt a bit regretful when she talked about it. The limelight that should have belonged to the grandson was taken by his father.

"It's okay, I let him unveil it for me. Dad called me at that time and asked if I wanted to go back. How could I have time? I was busy with the Canton Fair at that time."

Ye Chengyang answered first, "I seem to have seen a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, but I didn't look carefully, just curious about the whole cement road, and couldn't wait to run back."

Ye Xiaoxi was full of confusion, "How come I have no impression?"

"You were just wowing and calling, and told me to run home quickly to see if the door of the house had also become a cement road."

"It was too hot, and I was also excited that our village had a cement road."

Ye Yaodong didn't care about the children's interruption and said to the old lady, "I have plenty of limelight moments, I have a stack of photos, and I really didn't have time to come back at that time, so let my dad have the limelight."

"That was too much limelight. The stone tablet was erected at the entrance of the village. When the red cloth was unveiled, a lot of people from surrounding villages came to watch, blocking the intersection tightly, which made him lose face."

"Then he lost face, but everyone also said he was Ye Yaodong's father!"

The old lady nodded like a pounding garlic, "Right, right, everyone said he was your father, that's what made him lose face."

"That's it, I didn't come back, but my legend is everywhere, no difference."

The old lady nodded and echoed with a full face of smiles, "Yes, yes, yes, everyone is praising you everywhere."

"Is my mother still busy at the workshop?"

"Yes, it's hot and the sun is big now, there's no rain, everyone is rushing to dry more. The first half of the year was not very good, so I'm counting on these two months and the second half of the year to do more."

"Mm."

"You don't go over there either, it's too sunny. When it's time for dinner, she will naturally come back. You just watch TV at home and rest for a while, sleep, sitting on the ship for so long is also tiring."

"I didn't say I was going over, it's too hot, not going, wait until the sun sets and then go take a look, and by the way, go home and take a look."

"The room has been tidied up for you, the quilt has been taken out and dried until it's fragrant. After eating, go take a bath and hurry up and sleep. Look at the blue under your eyes."

He nodded and responded. He was indeed a bit sleepy. He couldn't rest well on the ship, not to mention bringing two children.

When resting in the cockpit, the two slept on the bed, and he slept on the floor with a mat, worrying from time to time that they would fall off.

This wasn't because they slept too badly, but because the fishing boat swayed and bumped, which easily shook them off. After all, children slept more deeply and had no precautions, but it was quite difficult to sleep deeply on the ship.

He basically hadn't closed his eyes for these two days, at most he had only dozed off for a while.

Now that he was full, and relaxed after arriving home, his eyelids also started to fight.

Even the soup was drunk without a drop left, so he carried his backpack to go upstairs to take a shower first, and then sleep.

The two children were the same, saying they weren't sleepy and wanted to watch TV, but as soon as they lay on the sofa, they fell asleep in less than five minutes.

The old lady couldn't hold them, so she had to move slowly upstairs and call Ye Yaodong down to hold them to the room to sleep.

It was fortunate that he had just finished taking a bath and had just finished drying his hair, and hadn't gone to bed yet.

Ye Xiaoxi slept exceptionally deeply, and didn't wake up even when she was carried back to the room and put on the bed.

Ye Chengyang woke up when he was put down, opened his eyes and looked, then shouted "Dad" after, turned over, hugged the thin quilt and slept again.

The father and the two children slept until dark.

When Ye Yaodong woke up, neither of them woke up. He was woken up by the women chattering downstairs. The gossiping voices with ups and downs entered his ears even in his sleep.

Mainly because his mother's voice was too familiar, he heard it in his sleep and woke up.

He didn't want to get up after waking up, closing his eyes and listening to the laughter mixed with the chirping of insects and birds.

It was hot, the natural wind in the countryside was cool, the windows weren't closed, so various sounds were clearly transmitted into his ears.

But there were also many mosquitoes. He only realized that he was itchy everywhere after waking up, wiped it with a little saliva, and then was willing to get up.

Walking to the balcony and looking out, good guy, they were all sitting at his door, no wonder he felt the sound was right in his ears.

Ye Yaodong put on his clothes and pants before going downstairs to find food, not expecting it was already past 7 o'clock.

The rich chicken soup smell filled the whole house. He smelled it as soon as he went downstairs. The pot lid was covered tightly, but the fragrance was still constantly overflowing.

He didn't disturb his mother and the old lady sitting at the door enjoying the cool, but filled himself a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of rice, which were still hot.

The old lady originally wanted to go into the house to see if her TV show was on time, but she discovered that Ye Yaodong had woken up.

"Oh, Dongzi has already woken up, eating? Did you fill the rice in the pot?"

Ye Yaodong responded and turned the bowl in his hand to show her the rice.

"When did you wake up and didn't say a word? Oh, why are there two big bumps on your face, bitten by mosquitoes? There are also two on your hand, I'll get you some cooling oil to rub."

The old lady turned and walked toward the cabinet on the side.

The cooling oil in the red iron box was the size of a coin. She twisted it while walking, and couldn't get it out after digging for a long time.

"You take it and open it, rub it yourself."

Ye Yaodong had been annoyed by opening this thing since his previous life, so he thought about wiping it with saliva to save trouble, so as not to twist the lid for a long time.

"Leave it, wait until I finish eating and then twist it."

"The two little ones haven't woken up yet, do you want to wake them up, eat and then sleep?"

"No need, just let them sleep. They didn't sleep well on the ship, I guess they can sleep until tomorrow morning, which is also good, saving them from being woken up now, not wanting to sleep at night, and having no energy tomorrow."

"But they are hungry..."

"Where are they hungry? Worrying about them being hungry all day, didn't they just eat eggs before sleeping? They ate until full and went to sleep, without exercise or digestion, isn't it still in their stomachs? Hungry for what?"

The old lady had nothing to say.

"Go watch your TV, it's 7:45, the White Snake is about to play."

The old lady stood up excitedly, "Hey good, I'll call your mother for you, she is also guarding this TV."

The old lady hurriedly went to call Ye's mother to come back to watch TV, and by the way, Ye's mother hadn't seen Ye Yaodong yet.

Seeing him sitting there eating, she was also very happy.

"You slept for the whole afternoon, when I came back, you were already asleep, I wanted to talk to you but couldn't."

"It's okay, I've already heard your voice for a few hours in my sleep."

"What did you hear me say?"

"Heard you scolding me, this coffin child, for being busy all day, finally remembering to come back and take a look."

Ye's mother couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it just me pulling a sentence when people ask why you came back? Why are you back now? Why didn't you come back when you were free during the fishing ban before?"

"When was I free during the fishing ban? I just sent the near-sea boats back to catch fish, and I was busy as usual. Now the fishing boats have all gone to sea, and everything is arranged, so I thought about coming back to take a look and stay for a few days."

"Your dad said it was the two little ones who were clamoring to come back, so you brought them back. Why do you care about the two children, just coax and deceive them, you are so busy yourself."

"They are so big, where are they so easy to deceive? Anyway, I have something to do, so I just came back to handle it."

"Huimei called two days ago, saying she took the children to see old Pei. When you left, did she leave? Has she returned to Magic City now?"

"Left on the same day as me."

"That's good, it's enough to bring the children back to see, don't keep shaking in front of them, going to Magic City is just right. By the way, tell her not to take over that brother-in-law, she's still thinking about studying with the twins, it's going to die, so good at calculating."

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Didn't hear about it."

"I guessed it, everyone says so."

He was a bit speechless. His mother was spreading gossip about her own daughter?

"Huimei is not a fool, don't talk nonsense, she said the children are studying in Zhoushi."

"That's good, distance makes the heart grow fonder, the distance is just right. How many days do you plan to stay?"

"About a week, leave on the 18th or 19th, or the 20th. I'll see the situation then, when the things are done, I'll see what to do."

"If you are not in a hurry, stay for a few more days. It's rare for the two little ones to come back once, let them play more, so as not to toss back and forth from a long distance and not play enough."

"Mm, see the situation then, anyway before the 20th."

"Haven't woken up yet?" Ye's mother stretched her neck and looked above the stairs, "Really good at sleeping, tired from the ship, have to let them play at home for a few more days to be worth it."

The mother and son chatted for a few sentences, and Ye's mother hurriedly sat on the sofa when she heard the sound of the TV series playing.

But she didn't forget to greet him to sit over after eating, chatting while watching TV.

Ps: Stomach hurt for two days, wrote less, will make up a chapter tomorrow during the day.
