Chapter 73: Door-to-Door Thanks

~8 min read 1,443 words

As a result, as soon as he went out, before he even finished stretching, he saw Chen Shuji's family visiting.

"Ah? How come Chen Shuji has time to visit? Come, come, come, come in and sit," Ye Yaodong greeted them to sit down, then shouted, "Dad, Chen Shuji is here."

He didn't know if his father was in the room or at the back door, anyway, shouting was right.

Ye Fu also heard his shouting, hurriedly pulled up his pants, and came in from the backyard, his belt hadn't even been fastened yet.

"Oh, Chen Shuji is here, sit, sit, just right to have two drinks together, there are a few side dishes today."

He didn't feel embarrassed, and naturally invited people to sit down and drink happily. Ye Yaodong, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed, and didn't know if his father had washed his hands?

In such a hurry, he entered the room...

Chen Shuji said happily: "No need, no need, the food is cooked at home. I just came to thank Dongzi specially. If he hadn't reached out in time, my eldest grandson might have been gone."

As he spoke, he took the basket from his wife's hand, and also lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, two bottles of Moutai, two bottles of canned food, and two red paper packets, which were the famous local noodle tea cakes.

This was already the highest-grade heavy gift they could have at this time. A bottle of Moutai was already over ten yuan. The Ye family in the main hall was stunned.

Ye Fu widened his eyes, "You... what are you doing? It was just a casual help, hurry and take it back, these must cost a lot of money, why be so extravagant, hurry and return them."

Ye Yaodong was also surprised. He didn't expect Chen Shuji to be so generous. He originally just wanted to try to see if he could save him. How was it a life anyway?

"It should be, Old Ye, don't push. Today my son and daughter-in-law came back, and I only then knew how dangerous my eldest grandson was, almost gone."

"Then there's no need for such a heavy gift, everyone is from the same village, isn't it only right to lend a hand? Dongzi didn't do anything, it's your child's good fortune, life shouldn't be cut off."

"No, the doctor said, fortunately Dongzi performed first aid measures, otherwise A-Bin wouldn't have lasted until the hospital, he had no breath at that time. You must accept these things, this is also a little bit of our heart."

"No, no, such a heavy gift, how can we be embarrassed to accept it, you hurry and take it back, take it back, it's only right to help when fellow villagers see it, no need to send such a heavy gift."

Ye Fu said he wouldn't accept it no matter what. It wasn't that he wasn't tempted, but he felt that helping was only right, how could he be embarrassed to accept so many valuable things.

"Aiya, how can these things compare to a child's life, you hurry and accept it."

"Exactly, accept it, accept it, don't push back and forth..."

"This is a little bit of our heart..."

"Really can't accept..."

"You hurry and take it back..."

The two families pushed back and forth. If it weren't for the fact that they were all full of smiles, outsiders might have thought they were going to fight.

Seeing this, Ye Yaodong was also a bit helpless. Their country's gift-giving is like this, they all like to push back and forth, or say some false words, as if accepting it directly and neatly would make the face look bad.

He leaned against the corner wall and watched them go back and forth. Anyway, he didn't care, it was a casual thing anyway, his father and mother could decide whether to accept it or not.

Finally, Ye Fu and Ye Mu couldn't refuse, and accepted it with smiles...

"Is the child alright?" He asked during the gap.

"Fine, brought back today, just raise him at home for a few days."

Ye Mu spoke up: "The child must have been scared, go to the pharmacy and buy some pearl powder for him to eat, to calm his shock."

"There is, gave it to him as soon as we came back, give him a little more at night before sleeping." The one speaking was Chen Shuji's wife.

Ye Mu wiped her hands on her apron and said embarrassedly: "That... let's sit down and eat something together, the food is ready, just no good dishes, didn't know you were coming, didn't keep any good goods..."

"No need, no need, we are here to thank you, not to eat. Everyone's grain is not abundant, how can I bring a whole family to eat? You eat, you eat..."

As soon as Chen Shuji entered the door, he saw a big pot of sweet potato porridge in the earthen stove. They were building a house, yet they were still reluctant to eat white rice. How could he let his whole family sit down.

"It's fine, the white rice at home is enough, I'll cook another pot in a while..."

"No, we'll go home to eat, the food is already cooked at home. Originally wanted to come in the morning, but saw you were either building a house or going out to sea, and no one was at home, so we waited until now at mealtime to come."

Otherwise, who would visit at mealtime? Isn't this clearly wanting to sponge a meal? Whose grain isn't precious? Their own family isn't enough to eat.

At this time, many people wouldn't stay to eat when visiting, or would bring their own rations.

Chen Shuji thought for a while and felt it necessary to remind them: "Also, there is one thing to remind you, Lin Jishang from the village went to the commune this afternoon and said his relative wanted to buy your homestead, I blocked it back, you guys pay attention."

"Ah? There are so many empty lands in the village, why did they take a fancy to ours." Ye Fu was surprised.

Ye Mu also suddenly realized and said: "No wonder I saw Lin Jishang bring a few people around our homestead this morning."

"The whole village has been saying for the past two days that your new house has good feng shui, that's why your family has big goods one after another..."

"Ah?"

Everyone was surprised, just because of this groundless feng shui?

Ye Yaodong was also speechless. This was originally just something he said casually...

If that piece of land had good feng shui, why was he poor for a lifetime in his previous life? This is all about fate, okay?

"This can't be, just because of a few blind words, someone wants to buy our land?"

The Ye family couldn't believe it.

Ye Mu followed up and said: "I also saw an old man there acting mysteriously this morning, it turns out he was calculating feng shui?"

"Your family is indeed very much in the limelight recently."

"Which relative of Lin Jishang's family is it, where from?" Ye Yaodong asked.

Lin Jishang's family was very rich in his previous life, heard they had houses everywhere in the city and provincial capital, and didn't say they wanted to buy their homestead. His butterfly wings flapped...

"This is unclear, he didn't say. He also wanted to ask me if the certificate was hit, if not, transfer the land to him. I said the foundation certificate had already been hit for you, and the money had been registered and reported by the village committee, let him change to another piece of land."

"That's good, our foundation stones are all laid, the house has already started to be built, how can we sell it to him." Ye Fu's brows were tightly locked, the house had already started to be built, yet an unexpected obstacle appeared.

"Don't know if he gave up, don't know what kind of relative, it's only been a few days since it happened in our village, didn't expect it to spread so fast. Anyway, you guys pay attention. Your money is paid, the certificate is hit, that piece of land is already yours, others can't forcibly occupy it."

"Good, good, thank you for informing."

Chen Shuji followed up and said: "Then you guys eat, we won't disturb you."

"Stay and have two drinks, there is still some rice wine at home..."

"No, no, we have to go home to eat..."
