Chapter 74: Coming to the Door

No matter how Ye Fu and Ye Mu tried to persuade them, Chen Shuji's family insisted on going home to eat, so they didn't force it. After all, the grain consumption for building a house recently was very large, so saving a bit was also good.

After Chen Shuji's family left, the room was noisy. A bunch of ignorant children didn't care about the adults' affairs, all stretched their necks, looking at the noodle tea cakes and orange canned food in the basket.

They had eaten noodle tea cakes, sweet, one bite and the whole mouth was full. They had no chance to eat orange canned food. The family was poor, how could their father and mother bear to buy canned food for them to eat.

Ye Yaodong patted the heads of the two biggest nephews, "Put away your drool, time to eat."

Ye Chenghai tilted his head and asked him: "Third Uncle, can we eat noodle tea cakes and canned food after eating?"

"Stomach is full of rice, can you still eat?"

A group of children nodded frantically, in unison, "Of course we can eat."

"Then eat!"

He didn't think there was anything rare. Since they wanted to eat, then divide it and eat it together after eating. Ye Mu disagreed, glared at him, "Canned food is so expensive, don't let the children waste it, put it away first, wait for two months until August 15th, when we have to send festival gifts, add it in to make the gift look better."

If it weren't for the fear that it would expire by the New Year, Ye Mu would have wanted to keep it until the New Year to send it, which would look better and have more face.

Ye Chenghu looked eagerly, weakly saying: "Dad... I want to eat canned food..."

"Your Grandma won't let you!"

He spread his hands, the things were in his mother's hands, he couldn't help it either. He actually quite wanted to give it to the children to eat.

Ye Mu poked Ye Chenghu's forehead with her index finger, "Eat, eat, eat, want to eat everything, about to eat, no one is allowed to eat, this is to be kept for sending gifts."

She locked the canned food, cigarettes, and wine into the cabinet, only leaving the noodle tea cakes on the table, "After eating, I'll divide the noodle tea cakes for you. I'll ask about the cigarettes and wine later, see if I can exchange them for money. Such valuable cigarettes and wine, we can't afford to eat them."

Everyone had no opinion. Ye Eldest Sister-in-law and Ye Second Sister-in-law were relieved when they heard this. They thought Ye Mu would directly give all these gifts to the Third Room, after all, it was Ye Yaodong who saved the person.

It was just that they didn't expect that Ye Mu took the goods to the big shop in town to exchange for money as soon as she took them, and then secretly went to Ye Yaodong's room after dark when everyone had returned to their rooms.

She was afraid that there would be no time during the day, so she took it to town to exchange for money as soon as she finished eating, walked for two hours back and forth, and it was pitch black when she returned.

Lin Xiuqing was surprised when she saw the money in Ye Mu's hand, "Why did Mom give it to me?"

Ye Mu whispered: "Shh, originally people came to thank Dongzi, and the things should also be handed over to you to keep. I just thought that the whole family was there, if I gave it all to you, someone would feel uncomfortable."

"But, the family hasn't been divided yet, these things..."

"It hasn't been divided yet, but isn't the money of each room kept by themselves? People came to thank Dongzi, not to thank us two old ones, and the things were all given to him. You keep it. Your father and I have worked hard for a lifetime, isn't it all for you few? What do I take your money for? It should be whose it is."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and watched from the side, only feeling that his mother was quite smart. Rural women are not lacking in wisdom, knowing how to balance the family.

"Keep it, after building the house, you will have many places to spend money," after stuffing the money into Lin Xiuqing's hand, she looked at Ye Yaodong again and couldn't help but say, "Be diligent in the future, don't be sloppy all day, don't hang out with those friends of yours..."

"Eh? Why is it hanging out? Who doesn't have a few friends? Mom, you have a group of friends, calling you to scour the sea every day."

"Scolding you, you still talk back, my friends all call me to do serious things, your friends call you to play and drink every day."

"Not really, didn't we go catch swamp eels yesterday afternoon? You even ate it. Didn't we go scour the sea a while ago? Just divided hundreds of yuan, did you forget? Also, didn't they go to help with work at our house? We didn't play and drink every day."

Ye Mu was speechless...

A rascal becoming serious, how could she talk back.

Glared at him, "Get up early tomorrow to work!"

"I know."

After Ye Mu left, Lin Xiuqing counted the money in her hand, "Mom said Moutai was sold for 12 yuan a bottle, Zhonghua was 1 yuan a pack, she said the recycling price was a little bit cheaper than the selling price."

"Normal, one in one out, don't they also need to earn money, otherwise why would they recycle."

"Mm, then I'll put it away." Getting a sum of income for nothing, she was still very happy, the frequency of her collecting money had been a bit high recently!

"Sleep, have to get up early tomorrow to work."

"You are quite attentive?"

"Otherwise? Isn't that my house?"

Building a house in midsummer, sweat dripped like water, clothes were so wet they could almost wring out water. Besides being a bit lonely, running the big boat was really not as hard as moving stones and picking stones.

Ye Yaodong had just finished picking this load of stones and sat down to drink tea to rest, touched his sore shoulders, and simply took off his wet top, but saw a red patch pressed by the shoulder pole on his shoulder.

He couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for himself. Did the heavens throw him back to 25 years old to make him make up for all the suffering he missed when he was young?

Lin Xiuqing happened to push the ash cart over and saw it, whispering: "I'll take some tea oil to rub it for you tonight and it will be fine."

He raised his eyebrows and was about to say something, but saw Lin Jishang from his memory bringing two middle-aged men he didn't know, walking swaggeringly toward the house they were working on.

"Is Third Uncle Ye there? Is this Third Uncle Ye's house?"

Chen Shuji had reminded him yesterday, didn't expect them to come so quickly.

Ye Yaodong frowned and stood up, threw the top in his hand onto his shoulder, walked to them, looked down at them and said: "Lin Jishang? What are you doing?"

The three retreated a step in unison, couldn't help but curse in their hearts, doing it on purpose, right? Being tall is amazing?

"Hehe, want to find Third Uncle Ye to talk about something."

"What's the matter, you can tell me the same!"

Ye Yaohua saw the movement here and walked over, "What's wrong, A-Dong?"

Lin Jishang?

He instantly thought of the reminder from Chen Shuji yesterday evening. They wanted to buy their homestead?

"They are looking for our dad," after speaking, Ye Yaodong turned to look at the three, "The house being built here is for the three of us brothers, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't delay our work."

"It's like this, my cousin wants to buy your land, want to discuss it with you."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Didn't you see our foundation is already laid? We hired so many workers, transported so many stones and yellow soil, you say sell it to you and you sell it to you? Then isn't our work for this period of time in vain?"

He picked stone by stone, how much sweat did he shed?

Without adding more money, or giving some benefits, just saying they want to buy it with empty words, thinking of farting?
