Chapter 1833

Everyone came back from watching the opera at 4:30. The women just started cooking, and the men were playing cards and bragging.

In the circles of two or three people around, Ye Fu had the most people around him.

When Ye Fu took out the mobile phone, those who were playing cards couldn't play anymore, and all curiously surrounded him to gain some knowledge.

Most people had never seen what a mobile phone looked like in their lives, at most they had seen it on TV.

"... So this is a mobile phone, I've gained knowledge, it's really domineering..."

"Still Dongzi has the ability, only he is worthy of using a mobile phone..."

"This mobile phone is really big, really imposing, you can tell at a glance that only big bosses can afford it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've gained knowledge, I didn't expect to be able to touch a mobile phone in this life..."

Ye Fu held up the mobile phone and slapped away the hands reaching out one by one, "Don't touch it randomly, if you break it, it's not easy for me to explain to Dongzi. It's embarrassing to ask you to pay, and I feel heartache if I don't ask you to pay."

"Haha, everyone just take a look, touch it, you hold it in your hand, we definitely won't break it."

"Can you make a phone call to try?"

Ye Fu pulled out the antenna and retracted it, wiped the mobile phone with his sleeve like a treasure, and answered by the way: "Can't call, it's across provinces. We can't open roaming in this poor place."

"What is roaming?"

Ye Fu hid the mobile phone behind his back, carried his hands behind his back, straightened his waist and said: "Roaming is bringing the phone to another province, needing to open phone calls in another province, this is called roaming. We can't open it in this small place, only in the provincial capital."

"That's too wasteful, this thing costs tens of thousands, and after buying it, it can't be used at home."

"That's not how you say it. Can't it be used in Zhoushan? It's much more convenient to be able to answer the phone anytime, anywhere. Dongzi is a big boss, and he has many phone calls."

"Yes, Dongzi is a big boss, he has a bunch of phone calls anytime, anywhere. It's very good to be able to answer anytime in Zhoushan and the Magic City. After all, we are a small village, it's normal that this kind of mobile phone can't be used."

"Can't blame the phone for not being able to call, after all, it's so expensive, can only blame our village for being too small, where birds don't poop."

"Yes, who told our village to be too small, fortunately our village also produced a golden phoenix."

"Hey, I heard these past few days that Lixiang can speak English, can communicate with foreigners, very powerful."

"I also heard from the women at home, saying she went to Yangcheng, drank foreign ink, and became much more foreign when she came back, and even bought a bunch of clothes from foreigners."

"Is Yangcheng nourishing people? She can speak foreign languages after going there once?"

Don't say men don't like gossip, men also like to talk, just not in front of women.

Ye Fu still wouldn't tear down Ye Mu's stage outside. He laughed, "I don't know if she can speak foreign languages, she didn't speak in front of me. Anyway, she just said how many orders she took for Dongzi. When Dongzi was exhibiting, she followed to help, and heard she also solicited quite a few foreign guests."

"Powerful, she can speak foreign languages, maybe she can go abroad for exchanges in the future."

"How can that be, she can only speak a few sentences, just playing, all learned from the salesmen in Dongzi's factory. It's not bad for an old lady like her to know a few words."

Ye Fu was afraid that Ye Mu wouldn't know anything and would lose face, so he quickly helped to be humble.

"It's not bad to know a few sentences, much better than us who don't know a single word."

"So-so, hehe, anyway, just learn a few sentences, play."

"Regardless of whether it's useful or not, it's already very powerful to know."

"That's..."

"Adong is back, why don't you come out for a walk? I feel like I haven't seen him much this year."

"It's strange that you can see him if you stay at sea every day. He just arrived home, tired and lying down waiting for dinner. I guess he will have a good sleep after eating."

"That's to have a good rest. We were also exhausted when we just came back, tired and slept for two days before recovering..."

A group of middle-aged and elderly people bragged and were lively, until the women at home shouted to eat, and then they scattered and went back to their homes.

Ye Fu held the mobile phone, exhaled a few times, wiped it with his sleeve again, wiped off the fingerprints everyone touched, and it was clean, only then did he take it home satisfied.

"Eat, what are these children doing? All surrounded together, didn't see them go out to play earlier."

Ye Mu said unhappily, "What else can they do, play games. As soon as they came back from watching the opera, they played games. They didn't move their butts when called to eat."

Ye Yaodong shouted at them, "All roll over to eat for me, if you play games again, the game console will be smashed for me."

"Coming, coming after this game." Ye Chengjiang said, kicking the others, urging the others to eat first.

Everyone also reluctantly looked back at the TV screen and walked towards the dining table.

Ye Chenghe leaned to Ye Yaodong's side and asked: "Third Uncle, when are you going to the city, can I ask you to buy a game console back? I'll pay for it myself."

"Buy it for you and your wife to play?"

"Yes, buy it and put it at my own home to play. After the New Year, I'll dismantle it and take it to the Zhoushan home to play. Or if my wife wants to play, put it at home for her to play. It's just right for her to play games when she's bored during confinement."

"Okay."

It's a matter of convenience, anyway, Ye Chenghe is an adult.

Ye Mu glared at him unhappily, "Who plays games during confinement? You have to lie down during confinement."

"Then can you play games while lying down?"

"Hit your head, you have to lie down peacefully during confinement, who is like you guys sitting there and scolding."

"That's because they played too poorly, always sending themselves to death."

Chen Xiuni said with a smile while holding her belly: "It's okay to buy one and leave it at home for me to pass the time. I'll play with Jingjing and the others, you can buy another one to take away."

"Okay, then Third Uncle, help me bring two, and the game cards are also these three types of games you have, buy one of each, two sets."

"Mm, okay."

"After eating, I'll give the money to Third Aunt first."

The smile on Ye Yaodong's face faded, "You asked me to help buy it, and you give the money to Third Aunt, what is this?"

"Ah? Shouldn't I?"

Everyone else in the family laughed.

"I help you buy it, I spend the money, shouldn't you give the money to me?"

"I give the money to you, won't you hand it over to Third Aunt anyway? I thought Third Aunt controls the family's economic power."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "You are absolutely right, just give the money to me."

Ye Chengjiang held the game controller and shouted at them, "Third Uncle, help me bring one too, I'll give the money to Third Aunt later."

"You two are really good at pleasing people, I spend money here, she collects money there."

Ye Chenghe: "Anyway, we gave it to you, and you will give it to Third Aunt anyway, we helped you save the intermediate process."

"Can't even block your mouth with eating, eat your meal."

"Eat, eat... ah no, Ye Chengjiang, why are you sitting at that table?"

Ye Chengjiang just crossed over from the sofa and leaned to the children's table, when he heard Ye Chenghe shouting.

He didn't change his face, and said with a thick face: "I'm not married, I'm still a child, of course I still sit at the children's table."

"Hahahaha..."

"You want some face, you're so old, and you still say you're a child."

"Isn't the rule of our village that those who are not married are children? Then naturally I am still a child, I can still get a share of New Year's money."

"Shameless."

Ye Chengjiang was complacent, "Don't envy, don't be jealous, you can't do it in this life."

Ye Mu changed the subject and asked Ye Eldest Sister-in-law, "When is Ahai coming back? It's the 28th tomorrow, Dongzi came back today, why hasn't he come back from the provincial capital?"

"He just called today, saying he'll be back tomorrow. It's the end of the year recently, and the factory is quite busy. As a boss, he has to be busy until the end. He just finished checking the accounts and rested today."

"Everyone is so tired, and they have to work until the last day of the New Year..."

Ye Fu said, "Why say this? This is a good thing, it means earning money. Others want to earn money but have nowhere to earn it. Ahai can be busy until this point, which means he can earn money."

Ye Yaodong also said, "Those in public institutions have to work until New Year's Eve to have a holiday, and the money is less, and the work hasn't been less for a day. Ahai starting his own business is considered good, the money is more, and he can decide the holiday himself. At most, it's the early stage, and it's tiring to be a boss. Being tired also means being busy, and being busy means having money to earn. The most afraid is being idle and hitting flies."

"What Dongzi said is absolutely right, being busy is a good thing, it would be finished if you weren't busy during the New Year."

Ye Mu glared at Ye Fu, "Crow's mouth, saying unlucky things during the New Year, pui pui pui, good things are spiritual, bad things are not spiritual."

Ye Eldest Sister-in-law said with a smile: "When Ahai comes back, our family will be complete."

The old lady also said happily: "When the time comes, there will be another little baby running around in the family, which will be even more lively. Ahai's child should be able to walk, right?"

The smile on Ye Eldest Sister-in-law's face deepened, "Yes, he said he could walk quite steadily two months ago."

Ye Er Sister-in-law looked envious, "You are still lucky, you will have three grandsons soon, I don't even have a shadow."

When she said this, she took the opportunity to scrape Ye Chengjiang at another table fiercely with her eyes, hating that iron was not steel.

"Those younger than him have two children soon, and he is still eating, eating, eating, only knowing how to eat, and doesn't know how to go out and turn around, find a partner. Don't buy him a game console, he won't have to go out even more. This wife has to fall from the sky for him."

Ye Chengjiang was happily gnawing on chicken feet when he heard his mother's words, and the chicken feet were not fragrant anymore. He curled his lips, rolled his eyes to the sky, and continued gnawing.

"I spend my own money, you can't control it."

"Why can't I control it, you were squeezed out of my stomach, and I pulled you up with shit and urine."

"Don't nag, I'll change a daughter-in-law for you next year."

"You said this last year."

"The partner last year was just that I didn't want her, I'll find a better one this year."

The twins said with their backs to them: "Ah? Why don't you want her dad?"

"No, brother, it should be: why want her dad? Cousin A-Jiang, why do you look for a partner and still want her dad?"

"You two go dig your ears after eating, this ear-back is more powerful than the old lady."

The twin younger brother dug his own ears, and reached out to dig his brother's ears, and blew after digging.

"I don't have ear-back."

Ye Er Sister-in-law said unhappily: "Then you just wait for a wife to fall from the sky for you tomorrow."

Ye Xiaoxi smiled hehe, "The opera singer just said that Lin Meimei fell from the sky, Cousin A-Jiang, hurry up and pick her back to be your wife, just right."

"You guys talk so much, are you not eating? Then give all these chicken legs to me."

Twin younger brother: "No, mine..."

Twin older brother: "Mine..."

Twin younger brother: "I am the youngest, give it to me."

Ye Xiaoxi also joined the scramble, "I am also the youngest in our family!"

Ye Chengjiang: "You have such a big build, you have the nerve!"

Ye Xiaoxi was righteous, "I have the nerve, eating chicken legs is glorious! You are such a big one, except for my dad, you are the tallest in the family, you have the nerve to sit at the same table as us children."

"Okay, then gnawing chicken feet is fine, right? You guys divide the chicken legs."

"That's more like it, reward you with a chicken head!"

"Then I really thank you."

The children's table was exceptionally lively, and it had been this lively every day at home these past few days.

It's New Year, everyone is back, Ye Mu also let them not start a fire, and all come to the new house to eat.

Usually, it's cold and clear with only a few of them, but during the New Year, the whole family is back, it's rarely lively, and gathering together to eat is also quite popular, and the new house is also big.

They are old, so they like to see the family lively, popular, and with many children, and the family looks prosperous.

Several daughters-in-law took turns helping, and the whole two tables were not difficult.

Ye Mu looked at Chen Xiuni's big belly and asked with some worry: "After the New Year, you won't go up, right?"

Chen Xiuni also touched her belly, "If I don't go up, I'll stay at home. During the day, I'll let the child be hugged to your place to play, and pick him up at night. People in our village won't say anything, and outsiders won't know."

"Then people in our village are absolutely at ease."

In the past few years, the village has become more united. Those who go out huddle together, and those at home huddle even more, for fear of being bullied. The collective sense of honor and cohesion are not at the same level as before. After all, everyone is huddling to earn money and helping each other.

"So bring the child over to play here during the day, let you take care of him, and pick him up at night to sleep with me."

"When is this one in the belly going to be born? Let your mother hurry up and raise more chickens."

"Three more months, it's coming soon."

"Then everything that needs to be prepared must be prepared."

Talking about this topic again, Ye Er Sister-in-law couldn't help but stare at Ye Chengjiang with her eyes, this useless dead child, how many years has he been looking for a wife and hasn't found one.

Others have children soon, and grandchildren have been hugged three times, she can only look at it and be greedy, helping others take care of children.

Ye Chengjiang was used to it. These days at home, which day did his mother not nag a few words, stare at him a few times, and urge him to find a wife, he wouldn't be used to it.

Indirectly angered by the useless son again, Ye Er Sister-in-law just wanted to change the subject quickly and calm her mood.

She asked Ye Chenghu with a smile, "Chenghu will take the college entrance examination next year, right? It won't be a few months after school starts, are you sure?"

Ye Chenghu suddenly felt that the rice and dishes in the bowl were not fragrant, he smiled hehe, "Isn't there still half a year, let's talk about it then."

"Didn't expect that you didn't look like you could study before, but now you study the most."

Ashamed...

Ye Chenghu had black lines all over his head, and could only smile awkwardly.

"Do you have confidence in getting in?"

"He... he..."

"Don't just smile foolishly, have confidence, right? Smiling so happily, you should be able to get in. When you get in, let your father host a few tables."

"Ah, no, Second Aunt, I didn't say I could get in, isn't there still more than half a year? I can only know after the exam."

"Don't talk about filling in the volunteers first, and then taking the exam, what school do you plan to fill in? Where do you fill in?"

"Fill in the Magic City, choose a few junior colleges to fill in."

"Junior college is also good, junior college is also a university, also powerful, our family hasn't produced a college student yet, you will be the first one, and you have played a leading role."

The expression on Ye Chenghu's face was even more awkward, and he could only smile.

New Year trilogy, students ask about learning, work asks about work salary, old people ask about partners, no one can hide.

Fortunately, no one has eaten the trilogy now.

Lin Xiuqing took the conversation: "Whether you can get in or not is up to heaven, anyway, the family is not short of his food."

She asked Ye Chenghu again, "What did you say about the partner you introduced to A-Jiang? Don't affect people's studies."

Ye Er Sister-in-law's eyes shone as she looked at Ye Chenghu, "Ah, Chenghu introduced a partner to A-Jiang, introduced your classmate? Your classmate is in the third year of high school, right? Can she look at Second Brother?"

Ye Chenghu explained, "It's not introducing a partner, it's introducing a pen pal, making friends. We are in the third year of high school, but we are not allowed to fall in love, the studies are very heavy, and we have to go to evening self-study every day until very late."

"And besides, A-Jiang brother is quite good, tall, handsome, and rich, and the age difference between us is not big, just right for common communication."

"In the third year of high school, everyone is under great pressure, I can only rely on playing basketball to relieve pressure, I don't know about girls, writing letters and making pen pals is quite good."

Ye Chengjiang was extremely happy. He had been nagged for a few days since he came back, and finally someone spoke for him.

Tears in his eyes, this is a real brother.

"A-Jiang brother, after we finish the college entrance examination, you can meet, I will invite a few classmates, everyone come out to play together, make friends."

"Okay, okay, good brother."

Ye Yaopeng's dark face was also piled with smiles, "Chenghu looks like he has grown up and matured a lot."

"Hehe, overpraised, people will grow up."

Lin Xiuqing said: "Don't praise him, his tail will be up to the sky if you praise him again."

"Hurry up and eat, don't just talk, the dishes are cold."

After Ye Mu finished speaking, she said to Ye Huimei: "New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, don't cook either, the whole family come over to my place to eat, let everyone be lively."

Ye Huimei looked at A-Guang, A-Guang echoed, "Okay, just right, we save the trouble of being busy, if there is anything to help, Mom just say it."

"Where is there anything to help, your father is here, whatever happens he is here, and your few sisters-in-law will help, you play yours, just wait to eat."

Ye Huimei said happily: "Okay, it's cool to come back, the whole family comes over to eat every day, I haven't started a fire at home."

Ye Fu drank a few glasses of wine, his face was red, looking at the house full of children and grandchildren, the smile on his face couldn't be closed.

"The family is not short of your food, just eat here, be a little lively, otherwise it would be cold and clear for your family to spend the New Year, come here to be lively, it's all our own people, it's convenient to be close."

"Hey, yes Dad."

"How is your younger brother's schooling? Heard he squeezed into the first grade this year."

Ye Huimei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that it was A-Guang's little younger brother.

"I don't know very well, haven't I been staying in the Magic City? And haven't been in contact with them."

Pei Yu interrupted, "I know, little uncle's Chinese test was 66, math test was 99, his mother took a whip to hit him, saying why didn't he turn the Chinese test upside down. He let his mother look at it upside down, and then ate the whip again."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help laughing, this is also a genius.

People at other tables also laughed hehe.

Ye Mu said with a smile: "His math grades are quite good, why is his Chinese test so bad?"

Pei Yu shook her head, "I don't know."

Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Outside the house, a little boy was constantly looking around, and then whispered: "Twins, twins, hurry out to play..."

The twins immediately put down their chopsticks and ran towards the door, shouting as they ran: "Little uncle..."

"Little uncle, have you eaten?"

Pei Feng pretended to be mature and patted their shoulders, "Ate, have you finished eating? I came to see you."

"Not yet, almost finished, little uncle, do you want to come in?"

"You hurry in, while we are eating, no one is playing the game console, you hurry up and play, otherwise when they finish eating, none of us will have anything to play."

"Okay."

Pei Feng quickly took off his shoes and ran in, sat on the sofa with the twins, and the twins actively took the controller for him to play.

He also touched his pocket, grabbed a handful of candy for them, and took out an orange can from his arms.

"I stole it from home, give it to you to eat."

"We have it too."

The two also ran to the kitchen to get a can each and put it on the living room table.

Pei Feng saw this and stuffed what he took back into his pocket, "Then I'll keep it for myself to eat."

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten for stealing it?"

"It doesn't matter, eat it first!"

After returning from the holiday, Pei Feng would occasionally be brought back by the twins to play. They were all used to it and didn't care, glanced at it and continued to eat and chat.

Ye Huimei also called the twins back to continue eating.

"Play after eating, not allowed to eat canned food if you haven't finished eating."

"Oh."

"Little uncle, you hurry up and play first, when we finish eating, we will go out to play, can't grab it from them here."

"Okay."

After the meal, the women cleaned up the table, the men organized a game of cards, and the lively atmosphere in the house continued until before going to sleep.

The group of children, big and small, playing games downstairs, were jumping around grabbing game controllers, grabbing until they were almost fighting. Big and small were all squeezed on the sofa, one on top of another, grabbing like Arhats, and it was useless no matter what the adults said.

It was not fair to allocate by time, and they would shout even if it was a minute over.

Until they were called to sleep, the game console was confiscated by Ye Mu, and only then did it stop.

Ye Yaodong went upstairs directly after eating, he was already tired, and finally insisted until after the meal, he just wanted to take a bath and sleep.
