Chapter 404: Men are also gossipy

He shouted again to the two sisters-in-law from Lan Da and Lan Er's families living next door, as well as the Zhou family who were finishing up the house, letting them each bring a washbasin over to pick a little, and take whatever they wanted.

Anyway, they were all pried back from the island, and they didn't cost money, so share a little with the neighbors.

They were also very perceptive, each moved a small stool over, and after picking a little into their home washbasins, they also helped to sort together.

Several Liberation Army soldiers also lifted a bag and dumped another pile on the flat ground, and also followed to help sort.

Seeing this, Ye Yaodong hurriedly said, "No rush to sort, why don't you guys go back and take a shower first, and change your clothes? It's uncomfortable to wear wet clothes on your body, don't get a cold in the middle of summer."

He often went into the water, so he knew too well the feeling of wet clothes sticking to his body.

Originally, when they got off the boat, they weren't wearing any, only wearing pants, with their upper bodies bare, and their vests hung directly on their shoulders.

However, the women passing by on the pier kept stealing glances at them, so they put on their vests in some embarrassment.

Captain Chen nodded, "That's fine, then we'll go back and take a shower first, and change our clothes before coming back."

Once they left, the group of women sorting started gossiping again.

Originally, these soldiers were very conspicuous in the village, ready-made gossip material, if they didn't discuss them, who would they discuss? What's more, everyone was very curious about them.

"Dong, are they married?"

"These soldiers look spirited, tall and strong, with straight waists, looking comfortable."

"Hey... aren't Huimei's two sisters-in-law both going to get engaged? Just pick two casually?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "How could that be suitable? Don't even know where their home is, can you just pick casually? This isn't buying vegetables. If they can follow the army, that's fine, otherwise, wouldn't they have to live as widows? Who knows if they can return home once or twice a year, and still have to take care of the whole family for them. Taking care of the whole family is fine, just afraid of not being treated well. Being a military wife is not easy, it's hard."

"That's true, heard that following the army also requires a rank."

"Where is the home of these soldiers? Did Dong ask? If it's close, it's fine!"

"All are from this province, one is in Suian County of this city, the others are in other cities." After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he moved the stool to the pile next to it to pick.

One woman equals 500 ducks is the truth.

"Suian County isn't far, seems like it takes two hours by car?"

"This isn't far? If you get bullied in the future, it's not easy to return to your maiden home. Qing's home in the next town is already far enough."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and didn't speak. She was also blinded by lard at that time.

Ye Dasao also nodded, "Exactly, can't marry too far, otherwise people will say you to death, saying you find the two sisters-in-law an eyesore, sending them so far..."

"That's right... the women in the village love to gossip..."

He silently said a sentence in his heart: You guys aren't bad either.

"Dong, your mother has been recruited to the Women's Federation to work and eat public food, why didn't you find a job for Qing?"

Everything was fine, weren't they talking about those soldiers? Why did the fire burn to him?

He was just about to answer, but Qing had already smiled and said first, "Where do I have time? There's still a little one at home drinking milk, and the house next door is being built, where can I leave?"

Hearing his wife's clever answer, Ye Yaodong couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart, they were of one mind.

Although she was just an ordinary rural woman, she was quite smart, knowing when to be low-key.

When Chen Shuji came to find him yesterday, he didn't think much, but Qing mentioned it last night, saying to go to work later, and he felt it made sense.

Now seeing his mother promoting it everywhere so high-profile, it's really better for his wife to be a little low-key here, otherwise if two people in the family become village cadres at the same time, it's really easy to be talked about.

Rural places are just like this, public opinion is fearful, and everyone says it. Sometimes dead things can be said to be alive, especially women who have nothing to do can take anything to break apart.

Anyway, their family doesn't lack his wife's salary now, so going to work later and slowing down is also good.

"That's true..."

"This public food is fragrant, an iron rice bowl. It's just right that you don't have time, let your mother work for a few years and then step down, and you can take over, it won't delay either."

Once this was said, the smiles on the faces of Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao stiffened, and they smiled a bit reluctantly.

If it hadn't been said that Ye Mu would step down and let Qing take over, they wouldn't have thought about things so far in the future. Now that it was pointed out by someone, they couldn't help but think wildly.

Hearing this, Lin Xiuqing also glanced at the expressions of the two sisters-in-law, and she smiled indifferently.

"It's too far to talk about this matter now, who knows what the policy will be in a few years? What's the situation? A few years ago, they said reform and opening up, and they did; they said restore the college entrance examination, and they did; they said they could do business, and they did."

"Who knows, maybe when Mother retires, my father won't be able to work anymore, and I might have to go to sea with Dong. By then, if the eldest brother and second brother prosper and move to the city to live, becoming city people, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law definitely won't look down on this job in the village Women's Federation."

Hearing this, the smiles on their faces returned to normal.

Ye Dasao smiled and said, "Even if we have money, we can't go to the city. All our relatives and friends live in the village, how is it suitable to move to the city? In the future, there's no place to visit, wouldn't we be suffocated? Heard that in the city, even green vegetables have to be bought, how is it as convenient as our countryside, just pick two handfuls in the field."

"Exactly, heard that in the city, everything costs money, even taking a breath costs money. Our countryside is still better." Ye Ersao also exaggeratedly echoed.

"But city people can eat commodity grain, how good."

"Yeah, they can get commodity grain with a grain book every month, how happy..."

"If only we could buy a commodity grain household registration..."

Ye Yaodong turned his back to them and chuckled twice in his heart.

He really knew about this buying commodity grain household registration.

In the 60s and 70s, rural households ate coarse grain, while city people had commodity grain household registration. As long as there weren't too many children, it was enough to eat fine grain, and there was a salary. By comparison, it was very happy.

Moreover, commodity grain household registration could be inherited. People born after 60 and before 70, if you were the son of commodity grain, could basically inherit a job.

Compared to the countryside, working hard for a year and earning work points for a year, it was fine if there were many laborers in the family, and there would be some money left at the end of the year.

If there were many people and few laborers, it would be miserable, and they would still owe the brigade grain at the end of the year.

Commodity grain household registration didn't work at the beginning, but by the 90s, some local officials really sold it to engage in construction.

His eldest cousin who was caught and put inside, in his previous life, just bought a commodity grain household registration in the 90s when it could be bought and sold, and the whole family moved into the city, and then his eldest uncle showed off everywhere.

Heard that in the 90s, when it first came out, it cost several thousand to buy one, and later it dropped to 2000, and his eldest uncle cursed.

If it was bought expensively, that was one thing, but later he was stupid, because by around 2000, there was no difference between commodity grain household registration and rural household registration. The only difference was that commodity grain household registration couldn't even get land.

But in his previous life, they didn't lack money, and they lived very comfortably. Now in this life, it's really a trick of fate and reality to end up like this.

If Ye Yaohong didn't play tricks on relatives and fellow villagers, and just used his own money to do small-scale smuggling, it shouldn't have ended up like this.

It was also his fault, how did he earn money in this life, letting people smell the scent and come to the door?

Listening to the group of women discussing there, chatting about everything, after chatting about city commodity grain, they started talking about some erotic gossip in the village, pulling everything out to say.

He also listened with relish behind him. No wonder so many people like to eat melons. Listening when idle also feels quite interesting.

Without leaving home, one can know the affairs of the whole village.

Several soldiers came over after taking a shower and changing clothes, and also sat there sorting, listening with relish. Who wasn't raised on five grains and miscellaneous grains?

Men also love to listen to gossip.

"That Wang Chuyun, do you know? Originally, she had an affair with several men in the village."

"What's this, I heard she is raising money for her lover to do business now."

"My god... isn't this a broken shoe..."

"Really or fake? How dare she? So bold?"

"What's there not to dare, heard she even had an affair with her father-in-law..."

"Ah!

!... How dare she?"

"Maybe it was forced? And then she just broke the jar and broke it? I heard it when I was in my hometown, thought you all knew, turns out you didn't know?"

"Put this kind of thing on the table to talk about all day?"

"Uh... Auntie Lixiang, hehe... just pretend you didn't hear it... hehe..."

Everyone was quick-mouthed, and while talking, they forgot that Ye Mu was already a cadre of the Women's Federation. This Women's Federation also manages this matter. If this is reported, Wang Chuyun will be in trouble, and they, the messengers, won't end up well either.

Now it's not the chaotic years of a few years ago. As long as fellow villagers don't have big grudges, everyone turns a blind eye, at most discussing a few words in private, rarely will they poke it out.

If others are unlucky, you won't necessarily be well.

The village committee is also like this, no one reports, so they ignore it, better to have one less thing than one more.

Ye Mu waved her hand, "How could I go and say it? Just listen and let it pass through my ears, what does it have to do with me? We can't do immoral things, we have no grudges or complaints with others, her style problem is her business, what does it have to do with me?"

"That's right, better to have one less thing than one more, her own family didn't say anything..."

Speaking of these, Asan suddenly winked at Captain Chen, and then asked Ye Yaodong in a low voice, "Is that woman quite good-looking, with white skin?"

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Hooking up with you guys? Quite an eye for it!"

"Didn't look down on us, looked down on our captain."

"Cough cough... do more work, talk less!" Captain Chen glared at him.

"Don't provoke a body of trouble, if you have needs, go to the red-light district in the town to solve it, a two-yuan matter."

"Oh ho~ Sounds like you are very familiar? Even know two yuan?" Xiao Gaozi teased with a bad smile.

Mixed together from morning to night for a whole day, the few people were now very familiar, and didn't see anything outside when chatting.

Men's friendship can be established on smoking together, or on peeing together.

"Nonsense, don't ruin my reputation, I'm also a serious person."

Xiao Gaozi looked at the group of women behind him, and said pointedly, "Understand! We understand! No need to explain."

Damn!

Kindly pointed out a clear path for them, but they actually thought he was also familiar with the road.

Is he that kind of person?
