Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Chapter 13 Who provides for the elderly?

The lunch meal is still sweet potato shreds and boiled porridge!

The family had a large population, so how could they afford to eat all day long? Even to eat porridge, I had to add a lot of shredded sweet potatoes.

As for why it is not sweet potato rice, it is because it is easier to store sweet potatoes when shredded and can be eaten for more than half a year when dried. When cooked with rice, you can use less rice, and it tastes good and sweet.

Of course, this sweetness is what Ye Yaodong feels. The whole family is already tired of eating sweet potato rice/sweet potato shredded rice, so they still find it sweet. It’s good to fill their stomachs.

Because there are no separate families, there are many people in the family, and the portions of the dishes are abundant. The vegetarian dishes are grown in my own backyard, and the seafood is left over from trawling yesterday afternoon.

A bunch of small fish were worthless. Yesterday, they were all killed and dried, leaving only a few slightly larger braised ones.

The three-eyed crabs are not accepted at the wharf. If you eat them, you will be allergic and your whole body will be itchy. No one will buy them, but it is impossible to throw them back into the sea. There are too many and they will not be able to finish them. They will stink if left for a long time. I gave some to relatives and friends when I came back yesterday.

It's okay for adults to eat two or three but not more, but don't eat it for the elderly and children.

There is also a plate of swimming crabs, which the child can eat.

There is also a bowl of small sword shrimps and a bowl of sea melon seeds I dug in the morning. I mixed these and cooked them in boiling water. Drain them and add seasonings and a little chili. They are delicious and economical...

There is also the oyster omelette that the whole family loves!

He also likes it. It took him a long time to open spat on the stone wall. It is also called oyster hunting in the old saying.

As soon as he sat down, before he even took a bite, he started to pick up the fried oysters. If he didn't pick them up, they would be gone. How could I not eat all the oysters I worked so hard to dig for? This is a good thing to replenish bullets.

"Ouch~ Third uncle, take some small pieces and leave one for me~"

"You haven't had enough? Just watch you keep stretching your chopsticks towards this bowl of fried oysters." Ye Yaodong picked up a chopstick himself, and he also didn't forget to pick up a chopstick and put it in his wife's bowl.

She hasn't even sat down to eat yet. When she sits down, there will be decent food somewhere.

Lin Xiuqing's eyes softened when she saw his rare move, but she was reluctant to eat it. She fried the piece of oyster and gave it to her eldest son and fed him.

Oysters are hard to beat, and it takes a long time to open a bowl. They are not available every day. One meal at noon and one meal at night may not be available tomorrow.

"Uncle San, you didn't eat less either!"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at his eldest nephew Ye Chenghai, "I can't eat the oysters I caught!"

"What are you talking about while eating." Mother Ye knocked on the plate and they all shut up.

The food was so rich today, no one wanted to talk, everyone was eating with enthusiasm.

In the past, there were only one or two bowls of shellfish, or fish, and a few vegetarian dishes, but today there are crabs, shrimps, fish, and shells all available!

After all, we have a boat at home, and we made a lot of money yesterday, so we should have a rich meal today.

Father Ye saw that everyone had arrived and then said: "I just went to the commune to apply for land to build a house. We have already discussed it inside and approved it at the intersection to the beach. There happens to be an open space there. If you can't grow crops, you can just take it." Come and build a house.”

Their village is close to the sea and there are not many fields that can be cultivated. The allocated fields are at the junction with the neighboring Dongqiao Village.

The two villages are also very close to each other, but the village of Dongqiao Village is smaller, with only more than 100 households. Moreover, their village is not close to the sea and is beside the road, so every time the tide goes out, they go to Baisha Village to catch the sea.

The villagers in Baisha Village are also very familiar with the villagers in Dongqiao Village. There are many intermarriages between the two villages. Ye Yaodong's grandma is from Dongqiao Village.

After hearing what Ye's father said, Ye Yaodong had no reaction and continued to eat from him, because he also bought this land in his previous life, and the three brothers' houses were built next to each other.

He still lived there until his death.

Just because he is indifferent doesn't mean that others are too. He soon belongs to his own little family, and everyone is quite excited.

Sister-in-law Ye said excitedly: "That piece of land is quite good. It's close to the beach. Just walk straight to the end!"

"Are we building three suites, dad?" Sister-in-law Ye frowned, but she was a little worried.

Logically speaking, two apartments are enough, and one son can live with his parents and be responsible for their old age.

However, who doesn’t want to live in a new house and live their own small life? Sister-in-law Ye also has selfish motives. If they only build two houses, the one that will stay in the old house will definitely be their big house.

Ye Yaopeng looked at his wife incomprehensively, "Why do you want three apartments? Two apartments are enough."

Men are relatively more nervous. What's more, Ye Yaopeng feels that he is the boss, and it is normal for his parents to take care of him in old age. He can't just follow the third child who is out of tune, right?

Ye Yaodong looked at the reactions of his two sisters-in-law and curled his lips sarcastically. Both of his brothers were nice people, but the two sisters-in-law each had their own selfish motives and were not as generous as his wife.

In his previous life, he ran away after eating and didn't come back at noon. He didn't know the direction of the development of the matter. Only when he came back in the evening did he hear that his family was going to build three apartments, one for each of the three brothers.

You can take a look now!

Sister-in-law Ye did not dare to say how to divide the two sets after what Ye Yaopeng said. Who would stay for the elderly? If she said so, he would have to worry about her!

Ye Yaohua was a fool, and said with a smile: "Mom and dad, whoever you plan to live with, we will keep and raise for you... Hey, why are you pinching your ass..."

Second Sister-in-law Ye glared at him, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute. The house hasn't been built yet, so you are in a hurry to separate the family?"

Although the words are beautiful, who among the people present is not like Ming Jing? Can you still not understand that she is not happy to live in the old house with her parents-in-law?

Father Ye saw the little thoughts of his daughters-in-law and didn't intend to hide them. He asked straight to the point: "Which one of you plans to stay for retirement?"

"Dad, it depends on who you want to live with. I'm the boss. Logically, you and mom have to live with us."

Ye Laoer also nodded, "Yes, dad, if you and mother want to stay with us for retirement, that's fine."

Second Sister-in-law Ye, with an unattractive look on her face, forced a smile and said, "My parents are only in their early fifties, so why do we need to provide for them in old age?"

Sister-in-law Ye also quickly said: "Yes, my parents are still very strong. They can still work for at least ten or twenty years, so how can they just support themselves in old age..."

"So you don't want to, right?" Father Ye's face also darkened.

"Where, how could..."

Without waiting for the two sisters-in-law to retort, Ye Yaodong raised one foot on the chair and said carelessly: "Dad, the two sisters-in-law are not willing, but my wife is willing, and so am I. Why don't we stay with you and mother?" Are you staying with grandma?"

Lin Xiuqing felt like a man at this time, nodded and said, "Father and mother, come live with us!"

The old lady happily agreed, "Okay, Dongzi will stay with us."

"Come on, let's live with him. Will he support me, or will I support him?"
