Chapter 527: The mouse came to the door

~12 min read 2,329 words

Ever since he followed everyone to help his father wash his feet once, he never wanted to wash them a second time.

Who said children have poor memories? He remembered it very firmly. What's more, he was very familiar with the smell when his father took off his shoes every day, and he had eaten a lot of things at home during this period, so he was already very satisfied, and it didn't matter if he ate a little less apple.

The old lady smiled and shook her head, "Don't tease him, hurry up and take a bath, I will cook a bowl of noodles for you later."

"No need to cook, I didn't eat long ago on the boat, save your stomach for dinner."

Ye Yaodong carried a basin of warm water to the back door to take a bath, but seeing his two sisters-in-law knitting nets there, he felt a bit embarrassed, so he had to carry the water to the front door.

In just this short while, he heard his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law complaining there, saying that many people came to borrow money recently, both from the mother's family and the husband's family, and there were many friends, all with various difficulties.

Carrying the water toward the front door, he even heard the tail end of it...

"... I didn't feel that there were any difficulties before. Once I saw others earning money, I felt that I was in difficulty..."

"That is to say, it seems that if we don't lend them money, they won't be able to live, as if it's our fault..."

"Annoying to death, coming to borrow money, I still have to pay a smile, and I have to accompany them to talk."

"It's not bad for Aqing to raise a few dogs in such a courtyard, no one dares to go..."

Ye Yaodong knew that relatives came to borrow money from the two neighbors from time to time during this period? But he really didn't know there were so many.

When he carried the water to the door to wash, he asked Aqing who was killing fish by the way, "Are there many people coming to borrow money from our house recently?"

"No, not many people. There were some a while ago. Anyway, I was looking after the child in the room, and I pretended not to hear. I am a daughter-in-law from outside and I am not familiar with relatives. If there is anything, let them find the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law can just say it."

"Before, there were not many relatives coming to our house all year round. If there was anything, they would go to the parents' place to talk, or go to the eldest brother's place to talk. Except for your friends borrowing money or doing meetings, few relatives come to our house. So, for the people who came to call the door during this period, I pretended not to hear them all. If there is really any important big event, people will shout directly at the door."

"Mm."

The old lady also said: "It will be fine after that trend. For those few days, I sat at the door and pretended to close my eyes and sleep every day. I also pretended not to hear or see anything. If they want to talk, let them talk. Who hasn't been talked about behind their back?"

"No wonder they all ran to the neighbors, just heard the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law complaining there."

Lin Xiuqing smiled: "They really all ran to their neighbors."

"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong. Fortunately, my reputation is not good."

"You know that too!"

"I have self-knowledge, isn't this quite good? Saved a lot of trouble and people coming to get close. However, I feel that my reputation has a trend of reversal now."

He frowned, as if a bit troubled.

"This is because you earned money, and everyone saw your efforts again. It's not bad. You were not as bad as everyone rumored before. Those people don't understand." The old lady said with a sense of honor.

"Also, gold will always shine."

"Yes, the old saying is just like that."

Lin Xiuqing looked at the grandmother and grandson speechlessly. One dared to praise, one dared to respond; one had a thick skin and felt good about himself, one felt that the grandson was good everywhere, and they were quite complementary.

Just when their family was harmonious, an uninvited guest came to the door.

It was really afraid of what would come. Just now they were talking about people coming to borrow money, and someone really came to the door this time.

Ye Yaodong was rubbing his butt when he saw the mouse looking around at the door, and was suddenly surprised.

Ever since he was reborn and earned his first pot of gold, Awei brought the mouse to stay away from them, and they didn't have any contact.

In his previous life, among a group of friends, there were those who were closer to whom. He was closer to Hearing Xiao Xiao and Azheng, and Awei and the mouse lived close to each other and were close.

He was not particularly close to them, just ordinary. So after drifting apart, he felt that those who fit together would come, and those who didn't would go. There were few friends who could be friends for a lifetime. After experiencing a lifetime, there was nothing he couldn't let go of.

It was just that he didn't expect that he would come to the door so suddenly today?

Nothing happens without a reason.

Ye Yaodong's courtyard door was not closed when he came back. When this person just walked to the door and poked his head, the big black dog jumped out alertly, barking wildly, scaring people to retreat a few steps, staying far away, not daring to approach.

He frowned. He didn't know what was going on when he came to the door suddenly. It would be fine if he didn't see it. Since he saw it, he couldn't pretend not to see it and deliberately not let people in.

He threw the towel he had been rubbing into the basin, walked toward the courtyard gate, and scolded the big black dog that had been barking wildly.

"What's the matter, come in and talk!"

The mouse was small, probably less than 1.7 meters, his face was dark, his eyes matched his nickname very well, a pair of mouse eyes, his lips were slightly thick, his shoulders were particularly wide, but his spine was slightly bent, and he looked as ordinary as ordinary could be.

He carried a basket in his hand and smiled and followed Ye Yaodong.

"I've always heard that your dog is quite fierce, I didn't expect it to be true."

"If it's not fierce, how can it watch the door?"

"Also, hehe..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him carrying a basket of firewood pears puzzledly. Could it be that he came to the door specifically to send it to him? He didn't see what was in the basket just now because he was far away.

"Sit down, what's the matter, haven't seen you for a long time."

He said that he sat back in the reclining chair, and stretched his feet into the basin, picked up the wet towel in the basin and rubbed his thighs and calves casually, then wrung it dry and wiped his thighs and calves, then hung it on the reclining chair behind him.

And he ordered Ye Chengyang who had just finished rolling the wool, "Son, help me get the foot-wiping cloth hanging under the table in the room."

Men are just so rough, not sticking to small details, and don't say wash the thighs and calves, wring the towel, and then put the feet in.

This towel is soaked with athlete's foot, and it will be used to wash the face tomorrow.

But at least he knew to take a foot-wiping cloth to wipe his feet, and didn't say one towel from head to toe.

Lin Xiuqing looked at her friend who hadn't been in contact for a long time and suddenly came to the door curiously, accidentally glimpsed his movements, and couldn't help but twitch her mouth.

The mouse was thick-skinned and carried things to the door, and also felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't been in contact for a long time, and running over today, he felt very abrupt himself.

Looking at the old lady and Lin Xiuqing looking at him, he sat down and laughed awkwardly.

After waiting for his son to come in, he said: "Haven't seen you for a while, your little son seems to have grown a lot, and he is quite obedient, looking quite good and not naughty."

"It's okay, mainly because the brothers and sisters have all gone to school, and he is the only one at home. No one accompanies him to quarrel, so he looks obedient."

"It's like this, children don't quarrel if they don't have companions."

"Mm."

The mouse pushed the basket he had placed at his feet toward him, "I planted two firewood pears at home, and I picked a lot today, so I sent some over for the children at home to taste, to moisten the lungs."

Was it really to send him pears?

Although he had already guessed it, he still felt surprised. Is this planning to resume contact with them?

Or is it to curry favor with him after seeing him earn big money?

Or is it asking for help?

Ye Yaodong thought about it, but there was no change on his face, and he said with a smile: "Then thank you very much."

After all, there was no hatred or resentment. At that time, Awei was also unbalanced, a bit radical, and took him to stay away from everyone.

Just a few pears, he accepted it first, and see what he is going to do?

"What's the politeness, anyway, it's planted by myself, it's not worth much money."

Ye Yaodong nodded, and didn't plan to take advantage of him. While wiping his feet, he pouted toward Aqing, "Just brought back a few baskets of Balang fish, pack a basket and take it back later, and you can add a dish at night."

"Okay, I also heard when I came over just now that you are described as very magical in the village! Said that the dolphin was driving the fish pod and was about to swim away, but was attracted back by you, surrounding your fishing boat, and those who were fast followed and caught two nets."

"Small trick, I just happened to meet a dead mouse, not as exaggerated as everyone said."

The mouse seemed to have opened the conversation, and the conversation was natural.

"Many people say so, everyone is praising you. You are quite experienced in fishing now, and you know quite a lot."

"Isn't this because I have done more? If you do more, your experience will naturally be enough."

"That's not the same, there are many old fishermen in the village, everyone says you know more than them, and they say you are very powerful. You know everything that everyone doesn't know."

"Hehe, just happened to meet it."

"Luck is also part of strength."

Ye Yaodong listened to his flattery, smiled, didn't say anything, just turned the basin over and poured the water directly on the ground.

"Son, take the basin in for me."

Ye Chengyang ran over to work again.

So small, best to order. When he is bigger, when he is as big as Ye Chenghu, it is estimated that he will not be easy to call.

The mouse changed the subject again, "The old lady looks like her health is quite good. I heard that you built another room a few months ago and picked her up to support her old age."

"Yes, people are old and like to be lively. Grandsons and great-grandsons are all here. She is bored in the old house. She can help look after the child when she comes over."

"Then the old house is only lived in by your parents? Why don't you pick them up together?"

"Pick them up, then the old house will be empty. If this house is not lived in, it will easily fall into disrepair. My parents are reluctant to let the good house fall into disrepair, and there is no extra room for them to live here. Building a house requires big money, and I, have no ability to build a building for them to live in."

"Saying this, joking, right? Didn't you just earn big money back."

Ye Yaodong looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Does earning big money mean you have to spend it all at once? This money must be used on the blade. I plan to hold the money tightly, save more money, support old age in advance, and it is best to work until 40 and not have to do it."

"Uh... 40 and support old age?" The mouse was stunned.

Lin Xiuqing almost laughed out loud when she heard it.

If this is coming to borrow money, this directly blocked the words.

"Yes, that's what I think, just don't know if the money earned is enough for me to spend until 80. However, it doesn't matter, if I can't spend it until 80, let my son support me, raising a son is to prevent old age."

The mouse laughed twice, "Sure enough, it's you, working until 40 to support old age, only you can think of it."

"Mm, can't work until 80, right?"

"Also right."
