Chapter 418: Lin Guangyuan's Bitter Days

~11 min read 2,156 words

The big black dog tied to the door was lying lazily in front of its doghouse, sticking out its tongue. Two broken bowls were placed in front of it, and one bowl was filled with clean water.

After building the house, there were some leftover materials, so Ye Yaodong asked someone to build a doghouse for it, and it lived in it with peace of mind.

After so many days, it had already recognized the people in the Ye family, and it wasn't like the first few days, barking at everyone, not so restless anymore.

Seeing Ye Yaodong walk out, it just lifted its eyelids and looked, then lay down lazily again. After being raised for a few days, its fur was obviously a bit brighter.

Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied seeing its obedient appearance, but it still had to be tied up, lest it really bite someone. After all, it wasn't raised from a puppy.

Even if it was raised from a puppy, it would still bite people if it was provoked.

Just as he walked to the door, he saw a half-grown boy rushing over, and then widened his eyes, braking at high speed.

"Little Uncle-in-law!"

"What are you running like this for? Hairy and restless, why did you suddenly run over? Who did you come with?"

"With Grandpa, we brought watermelons..."

Lin Guangyuan stared at the surrounding courtyard walls, "Did you enclose the door? I said why it looked different, I thought I went to the wrong place."

He said while walking toward the courtyard door, but suddenly a burst of dog barking came from inside, which gave him a big jump. Just as his foot was about to step in, he retracted it.

"Woof woof woof~ woof woof woof~"

He turned his head and looked at Ye Yaodong in surprise, "Little Uncle-in-law, you have a dog?"

"Hmm, I was visited by a thief once before, so I picked up a dog and just raised it to watch the house."

Ye Yaodong walked in and shouted to stop it, and the big black dog didn't bark anymore, whimpered a few times in a low voice, and continued to shrink back to the door of the doghouse and lie down.

At this time, he also saw Lin's father pushing a handcart of sacks over at the intersection, with a small one sitting on the handcart.

The round things in the sack were rolling, and for fear of rolling off the handcart, Lin's father even used a rope to tie the sack to the handcart to fix it.

In the past two years, no matter what fruit was harvested, Lin's father would send some over. Ye Yaodong also felt the full heart of a loving father.

At the same time, he also looked at the courtyard wall that Ye Yaodong had just built in surprise, and asked a question.

Ye Yaodong could only explain it again, and then greeted him to go inside.

A big black dog was lying at the courtyard door, staring covetously, and whimpering in a low voice in its throat.

As soon as the handcart stopped, Lin Guangwen, who was sitting on it, jumped down. He was Lin Xiangyang's youngest son, only two months older than Ye Chenghu.

This kid was also very tough. Seeing that the big black dog was so fierce, he still wanted to lean up and bark a few times, which made it stand up and bark wildly twice more.

"Little Uncle-in-law, your dog is so fierce."

"This is just a wild dog, I've only raised it for half a month, don't get close."

"Where are the two cousins?"

"Ran out to play, it's almost mealtime, they'll be back soon."

Ye's father and mother were originally arguing in the house, but seeing Lin's father coming over again, they quickly came out to greet him.

Lin's father smiled and responded twice, then dragged the few large sacks tied to the handcart down first.

"It just so happens that the weather has been good these few days, the watermelon will be sweet. I picked it early this morning and rushed to send it over, so as not to be unable to come over when a typhoon comes in a few days. I heard people in your village talking about building the Mazu Temple as soon as I entered the village? Has it been built?"

"Construction started today."

"Good thing... No wonder I said why your village is so lively today, why didn't the young and strong go out to sea to work."

Lin's father sat down and greeted them for a few words, praised the old lady for her good spirit, and held Ye Xiaoxi for a while.

Just here, a wailing sound that broke the sky came from the door, which immediately interrupted the conversation in the house.

"Ah~ Cousin, you finally came back, my turtle is gone, my turtle is gone..."

"Ah? Was it eaten by Uncle?"

"Hmm, it died so miserably, it was all my dad, that dead ghost..."

"Cousin A-Wen, please mourn..."

The children hugged together, and Ye Chenghu comforted him while putting his arm around his shoulder.

Ye Yaodong just heard the wailing sound and thought something happened. When he walked to the door and saw the two people crying and whispering, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. The bear children say everything.

And Lin Guangyuan took out the turtle raised in the corner, and the two stopped and played with the turtle.

Ye Yaodong also immediately thought of the fact that Lin Guangyuan was still idle at home doing farm work. It was already summer vacation, and there was only a month and a half left before school started. He had to say what needed to be said early. It was a waste for him to do farm work at home at such a young age.

Who knows, Lin's father is also worried.

"Just sent him to learn carpentry with a carpenter, and he fought with people. He was returned before he had been there for a month."

Ye Yaodong was surprised. Can't tell this kid is so bad? I thought he was just greedy for play.

"Let him go back to school to study in the second half of the year. It's useless to graduate from elementary school. What can he do if he doesn't study? He's young, and it's not easy to find work. After reading junior high school for three years, he'll be 18, which is not late. He can be sent to Dongguan... ah... pfft, it's just right to go to the factory to work."

"I also want him to finish junior high school, but this kid refuses to go back to school no matter what."

"It's okay, this is simple. Stay here for a few days, I guarantee he will change his mind."

Lin's father was a little skeptical, "Are you sure? If he stays for a few more days, he probably won't want to go home."

Lin Xiuqing interjected: "Do you also want A-Yuan to go to the pier to carry sandbags? He is very tough, maybe not as useful as A-Hai."

"It's okay, one day is not enough, carry it for two days, two days is not enough, carry it for a week. Fatty just happens to be working in town, let Fatty take him, it just happens that he is idle during the day, he can watch him."

Lin's father thought about it and felt that he should try it.

In this day and age, everyone feels that reading is good, and reading has a future.

After playing for a day, just when they were reluctant to leave, Lin Guangyuan heard that he could stay for a few more days, and he was so happy that he jumped three feet high, excitedly turning several somersaults.

Lin Guangwen refused, and also clamored to stay, sitting on the ground and making a fuss, refusing to leave no matter what. No matter how Lin's father dragged him, he couldn't drag him away.

Ye Yaodong crossed his arms and looked at Lin Guangyuan, "Half-grown boys eat the poor, my family doesn't have enough food, you two can only stay one, you look at it yourself, or both go back."

A mouthful of food, Ye Yaodong didn't care. In fact, his family is old and young, he and his father have to go out to sea, his mother has to go to the Women's Federation to work, A-Qing has to take care of the whole family, there is no need to add a child to add burden to her.

Lin Guangyuan, Ye Yaodong also sincerely wants to be good for him.

Once this was said, Lin Guangyuan of course couldn't just watch, he rolled up his sleeves directly and pulled Lin Guangwen to the corner of the wall to threaten.

After a while, Lin Guangwen walked back dejectedly and honestly followed Lin's father back.

Lin Guangyuan looked proudly.

Ye Yaodong was also satisfied. He patted Lin Guangyuan on the shoulder, "Comrade Lin Guangyuan, it's okay to let you stay here for a few days, you have to pay me for food."

Lin Guangyuan was instantly dumbfounded!

Still have to pay for food?

"Little Uncle-in-law, you go to my house to eat, I didn't ask you to pay for food!"

"I'm not eating yours, I'm eating my father-in-law's, not yours. You are eating mine now, and you have to eat for many days, you have to earn money for me."

"Ah?" Lin Guangyuan had a flash of inspiration, "Then I'll go out to sea with you!"

"Keep dreaming! Go to the pier to carry sandbags for me tomorrow, let's go, take you to find a fat uncle, let him take you tomorrow, it just happens that I heard he is very idle during the day, he can watch you."

"Ah?"

Lin Guangyuan was dragged away by his clothes, feeling depressed, "Little Uncle-in-law, don't sell me..."

"Who wants you? Half-grown boys eat the poor, whose family has a lot of food? No one wants it even if you give it away."

"Nonsense, I am the eldest grandson of the Lin family..."

"And not my ancestor?"

After handing Lin Guangyuan over to Fatty, Ye Yaodong went out to sea as usual to do his own things.

He originally thought that when he returned from sea the next day, he would be able to see Lin Guangyuan's bitter and half-waste appearance, but he didn't expect him to be full of energy.

As soon as he returned to the door, he heard Lin Guangyuan excitedly talking to Ye Chenghai in the courtyard about what he saw at the pier, and how prosperous and beautiful the hotel was, and how delicious the things inside were, even across the courtyard wall.

Ye Chenghai said enviously: "So good, I could only sit at the pier with my dad and gnaw on steamed buns with water, and I was exhausted and had to walk back. You can still eat big meals and ride a bicycle back, cool to death."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, how did the dead Fatty bring him?

"Little Uncle-in-law!" Lin Guangyuan sat at the door, his eyes sharp, watching him push the handcart in, and immediately ran up to offer treasures excitedly.

"Little Uncle-in-law, I earned one yuan and two cents today,"

Ye Yaodong glanced at him and confiscated his one yuan and two cents directly, "Are you very happy? Starting to work and earn money so early, taking fewer detours for a few years, does it feel very good?"

"I should have gone last year when I didn't study, damn it, I was a year late! I earned hundreds less!"

Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched.

"Then you continue tomorrow, don't stop until you earn ten yuan."

"Hiss~ need so much for food? Even a black shop is not as black as you!"

He glanced at the talkative Ye Chenghai, "Do you want to go too?"

"Ah no no no, I love reading!"

Lin Guangyuan patted his chest proudly, "Leave it to me, I will definitely complete the task."

Ye Yaodong felt that he had to go and talk to Fatty later, let this kid know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth.

Experiencing life and real working to earn money are different.

The next day, Lin Guangyuan knew he had been pitted. The day before, there were braised pork, big shrimp, chicken leg rice, and even cream cake for snacks, not to mention how beautiful it was.

Today, there was only light cake with water. He looked at the cake in his hand and looked at Fatty aggrievedly.

Fatty smiled awkwardly, "Don't look at me! Your uncle-in-law ordered it, saying that what you earned yesterday is not enough to eat."

"Sigh~ I said why is he so kind to let me stay?" ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
