Chapter 476: Sponsored 300
After the three brothers handled the matter, they carried their empty bamboo baskets and walked out.
Ye Yaodong incidentally told his two brothers about the fact that he had bought another shop, telling them not to tell anyone, not to tell their father and mother, and not to tell their sisters-in-law.
Otherwise, according to the nature of his mother and two sisters-in-law, once they knew, the whole village would almost know within a day, and there would be even more to talk about then.
Now at least many people were buying, and there were people helping him share the topic.
Both brothers nodded in cooperation, indicating that neither would say anything.
The rain that had just fallen seemed to be a shower; it rained for a while, then suddenly stopped, and there was even a red glow on the horizon, as if the sun was about to come out.
They stood at the entrance of the market and breathed a sigh of relief. If it rained, it would be one thing to affect their vision, but the mountain roads would be difficult to travel, and it would be hard for them to go back.
The people who were hiding from the rain at the entrance just now were setting up their stalls again, and everyone was complaining there.
"Is there another typhoon passing by? The weather is so abnormal."
"Exactly, the previous typhoon just left, it's been three or four days, and it hasn't cleared up."
"It feels like it's going to clear up after the rain just now, don't know if it's true or false. This God is just like a child, changing his face as soon as he says so."
"Sell it early and go home..."
The three brothers carried the baskets and climbed onto the tractor, chatting there. It was possible that another typhoon was really passing by, otherwise the weather wouldn't be so abnormal. In the past, it would clear up immediately after a typhoon.
"Forget it, anyway, there's no rain now, let's hurry back. Otherwise, if it's late, in case the weather repeats, maybe we'll really be left here."
Ye Yaodong was eager to return. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own dog nest. Having stayed up all night without sleep, he was really sleepy. Before buying the shop, he could still hold on, but after buying it and relaxing, he felt somewhat sleepy.
He yawned and stretched. The tractor still had to bump for more than three hours, maybe even more. Who made the road back bumpy after the rain, and the mountain road was not easy to drive.
But fortunately, it was smooth sailing on the way back, no rain, just an extra hour of driving. It was already mealtime when they arrived home.
Lin Xiuqing let others eat first, but she herself looked out the door from time to time, and only when she heard the sound of the tractor from afar did she show a smile and walk out.
The big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law next door were the same, and a series of children also followed out, stretching their necks and waiting at the door to watch the tractor come from far to near.
Ye Xiuxiu said longingly, "Mother~ when can we sit on a tractor?"
Ye Chengjiang nodded fiercely. "Yeah, I really want to sit on a tractor. Chenghu and Yangyang have sat on a tractor, we haven't."
Ye Chenghu was somewhat smug. "That's because our maternal grandmother's house is far away, so we have to sit on a tractor. Who made your maternal grandmother's house so close."
Ye Chengyang, listening to their questions on the side, pulled Lin Xiuqing's hem somewhat puzzled. "Mother, why don't their maternal grandmother's house live further away?"
Lin Xiuqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How was she supposed to answer this?
Ye Yaodong had just jumped off the car when he heard his youngest son ask such a cute question. He smiled and answered for A Qing, "If their maternal grandmother's house lived further away, your father wouldn't be able to marry your mother."
"But you married Third Aunt." Ye Chenghai covered his butt, really unable to help saying.
"That's because I'm handsome! Tall and handsome! If you grow up to be tall and handsome in the future, you can also eat soft rice."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him reproachfully. "You don't mind at all, and you have the face to tell the children like this, thinking it's something glorious?"
Ye Yaodong took the baskets handed over by his big brother and second brother on the tractor, and said with a smile, "I ate soft rice with my own ability, why can't I say it?"
The big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were speechless, fortunately they weren't that unlucky.
Lin Xiuqing gave him a white look, smiling and helping to take the baskets he moved down from the car, but saw two net bags of mangoes and two net bags of chestnuts inside, and immediately changed the topic in surprise.
"Why did you buy mangoes and chestnuts? This isn't cheap, right?"
"Thousands of yuan have been spent, is this little bit still missing? Anyway, money was earned."
"Money was earned, you know how to calculate. Money was spent, you don't know how to keep it in mind, and you're still extravagant..."
Other children, hearing that there were mangoes and chestnuts, all surrounded them with glowing eyes.
Even the three children of Ye Yaopeng's family who had just been beaten were twisting their butts, limping and preparing to move over, but were scolded by the big sister-in-law.
"What did I tell you before? Ears aren't brought, right?"
The three of them shrank after walking out just two steps. Ye Chenghai even turned his head and smiled awkwardly. "I'll just look."
The three of the second brother's family heard this and also turned their heads to look at their mother, finding that she was also glancing at them coldly, and immediately took a few steps back.
Ye Chengjiang quickly looked at his father cleverly and supported Ye Yaohua's arm. "Father, you've worked hard, Mother has already cooked the food, let's hurry home to eat."
The other two girls also quickly stepped forward to surround their father, but the disappointment between their brows was obvious.
At this time, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also couldn't help but feel some regret. They were frugal themselves, but why didn't they bring something for the children when they went out to make them happy? Looking at their disappointment.
Ye Yaohua patted the heads of the three children soothingly. "It rained in the city, so Father didn't stroll much. It just so happens that there's no work in the afternoon, don't you want to watch a movie? I'll take you there in the afternoon. Don't always pester your Third Uncle, he can't take care of so many children."
The three of them suddenly showed bright smiles on their faces, extremely excited, and kept asking, "Really?"
"Really, our family bought a shop, just celebrate it." This was said to the second sister-in-law.
The second sister-in-law glanced at him and didn't refute. So much money had been spent, so spend a few more mao. It just so happened that Father Ye brought the sponsorship money in the morning, which was equivalent to saving them a large sum.
Some are happy and some are sad. Now Ye Chenghai and his three siblings also had crying faces, and the expressions on their faces could no longer be described as envy; they were almost crying.
Ye Yaopeng looked at the big sister-in-law, and the big sister-in-law also understood his meaning. Looking at the expressions of the three children, she said helplessly, "If you don't feel your butt hurt, tell your father to take you too."
Living close to brothers is like this, it's easy to have comparisons. Brothers will be compared by people, and children will also compare, especially those with small age gaps.
Ye Chenghai and his three siblings were also instantly excited, immediately saying it didn't hurt, they had to crawl there.
Without children blocking the way, Ye Yaodong and his wife carried the baskets into the courtyard, and Ye Chenghu also chased after them and asked, "Father, are we going to watch a movie in the afternoon too?"
"You've already watched it, why watch it again?"
"Cousin A Yuan hasn't watched it."
"You really care about him, then if you go to watch a movie, there will be no share of mangoes and chestnuts for you."
"No share is no share."
"Alright, quite loyal," Ye Yaodong said to Lin Xiuqing, "Take two mangoes later, and take a net bag of chestnuts to send to Huimei."
Lin Xiuqing responded while packing rice for him, "Mm, eat first, and incidentally take a mango to Father and Mother later. Father sent us money in the morning, 300 yuan each."
"Oh? So much?"
Ye Yaodong thought his father and mother could give at most 200 each, didn't expect they gave 300?
Too surprising.
This was equivalent to his father taking out the rent given by his big brother and second brother for these ten months, or taking out most of the share he gave.
Lin Xiuqing nodded with a smile. She and the big sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were also extremely surprised after knowing it in the morning.
"Yes, 300 yuan each, we all said Father took out half of his coffin money."
"Still the old lady's words are useful."
The old lady also said with a smile on the side, "This money, can't be earned, can't be taken when dying. It's useless for your father and mother to hold so much money in their hands. Anyway, it will all be yours in the future. When they should pay, they must pay. When they are old in the future, they will still have to rely on you."
"Father said Mother went back late yesterday, and by the time they discussed it well, we probably were already asleep, so they didn't come over."
"Alright, this is called wool coming from the sheep, anyway, it's all obtained from us." Ye Yaodong also picked up the rice bowl to eat with peace of mind.
After eating, he went back to the room to sleep slowly.
Several children looked at his back eagerly, and looked at Lin Xiuqing taking the mangoes and chestnuts out with heartache and reluctance.
They simply guarded at the door, not daring to go anywhere, for fear that if they ran out to play, they would miss it, looking into the house from time to time.
Even the radio the old lady played for them couldn't attract their attention. Listening every day, they were no longer rare.
Fortunately, after Lin Xiuqing came back, she started to boil chestnuts, which could be considered as diverting their attention, and they didn't keep asking when their father would wake up.
The two families next door were the first to take the children to watch the movie, but with chestnuts to eat, they weren't in a hurry. In fact, only Ye Chenghu was in a hurry.
Lin Guangyuan still had the consciousness of being a guest (living under someone else's roof), not fighting or grabbing, and he was the one who needed a ticket. Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang didn't need tickets, so he certainly didn't dare to make a sound.
Ye Chengyang was still ignorant, doing whatever his brother did.
When Ye Yaodong woke up in the afternoon and took them there, Ye Chenghai and the others had already shaved their heads and returned.
And in the evening, Ye Yaodong's house also had three more bald heads. Originally, Ye Chenghu had shaved his head once during the New Year, and now the after-effects of watching the movie had relapsed.
It just happened to be midsummer, and shaving a bald head was cool. After watching the movie, he sat one in front of the handlebars and two in the back seat to take them to shave their heads.
The funny thing was that the barbershop was also full of a group of boys waiting, all wanting to shave their heads.
The old lady looked at the group of bald heads running around with sticks in the courtyard, but she laughed very happily, beckoned to Ye Chenghai, called him over, and touched his head several times.
"Just short of taking incense to burn a few ring scars."
"Ah! Really? Will it hurt?"
"You silly boy!"
