Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Lin Xiuqing went home first with the huge amount of money in her arms. After making money, she felt it was right to celebrate with her friends. She was not a small-minded person.

When we got home, everyone in the Ye family had finished work and returned from the homestead.

"Ah Qing, I heard that Yaodong's harvest on the isolated island was very good today. How much did it cost?" Sister-in-law Ye asked curiously.

Second Sister-in-law Ye also looked at her with burning eyes.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Not much. Most of the shellfish are piled up in the backyard. I will need the help of my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to open oysters soon. I will add vegetables to the family tomorrow."

After saying that, she turned around and went into the house. Her wealth was not exposed. How could she say it so carelessly and make people jealous? Yesterday, Second Sister-in-law Ye was still shouting that it was unfair.

Sister-in-law Ye curled her lips and didn't say anything about knocking her down!

Lin Xiuqing put the money on the bed and counted it again. After making sure it was correct, she took out the money she had just spent selling shellfish and counted it. Except for the small abalone, which was worth some money, the snails and the pen holder were both cheap, but they were too large to hold. The shells are also quite heavy, and they sold for more than 8 yuan in total.

In addition to the money that Ye's mother gave her from the sale of Adong's goods, she also received more than 400 yuan today, which is a lot of money for their family, more than what she earned from weaving nets in a year.

In the past two days of shopping, the total sales amounted to six or seven yuan. Lin Xiuqing held on to the money in her hands, feeling that she had some hope for life again, and she couldn't help but have a little more hope for Ye Yaodong.

It feels like he has definitely gotten better in the past few days.

After collecting all the money, she went out to help open the oysters and sort other shellfish so that they could be cooked tomorrow.

The next day, Ye Yaodong got up late because he drank too much the night before. When he got up, there was no one at home except the old lady, who was watering the vegetable patch in the backyard.

"Grandma, have they all gone to the house to help?"

The old lady's face wrinkled up with laughter, "Yes, the porridge and dried fish are hot in the pot. Go and eat. Are you exhausted yesterday? You're all tanned."

"It's okay. You're in good health. Grandma, I've made some money in the past two days. Today is Saturday. I'll take you to the county hospital on Monday and give you a pair of removable dentures."

"Ah? No, no, no," the old lady waved her hand quickly, "How old am I? Why would I waste that money? I can just eat fish. I don't like meat! I won't go!"

"Didn't you say well two days ago? You listen to me."

"If you don't want to go, I won't go. It's rare for you to earn a few dollars and keep it for yourself. Don't buy it for me."

"That one I heard is pretty cheap, not expensive..."

"Then I won't go either! You go and eat quickly!" the old lady said as she pushed him away.

Ye Yaodong smiled and took the old lady directly to her on Monday.

After a simple breakfast, he went directly to the homestead.

Before he reached the place, he saw people carrying stones, carrying stones, and workers pushing loess coming and going on the road. His mother said that more than a dozen workers were hired.

After walking to the homestead, I saw his second brother and the workers carrying the stones and placing them flat in the large pit dug.

There is a master craftsman cutting stones on the side.

This big pit was probably dug yesterday. At this time, when building a house in the countryside, there was no piling. The ground was dug thirty to forty centimeters deep and filled with rocks, which was regarded as a foundation.

Mother Ye just happened to pick up a load of stones and came over. When she saw him, she quickly said to him: "I didn't go fishing today, and you are not allowed to run around. Just stay here to help, or wait until your father comes back to tell him."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his mother helplessly. He was here to help.

"knew."

"The gloves are at the stone."

"Oh, where are Ah Qing and how many children?"

"She helped shovel the loess on the mountain, which is a lighter job. Several children were by the stream, helping to pick up stones while playing."

He nodded and went to move rocks with his second brother under his mother's eager gaze.

Mother Ye watched for a while before she was satisfied and continued to pick stones with the pole and bamboo basket.

As for his group of friends, after he moved for a while, they came over one after another to help him carry it.

The workers who were doing the work were all villagers in the village, and they were all of a certain age. Seeing that they were so hard-working and actually came to help, they all praised them and said that they had grown...

It made them all feel a little embarrassed!

They are used to being praised by others, and suddenly one day they are praised by others. This feeling makes them a little uncomfortable...

Ah Zheng secretly said: "D, I have always been disliked by others. Listening to their praise, I suddenly feel like I have become successful..."

Xiaoxiao also nodded in agreement, "No, yesterday I packed a sack of shelled food and brought it home. My wife's face turned into a flower with a smile. After I got my share of the money back to her, she didn't even mention it. Enthusiastic."

"My mother did the same. She praised me so much and said she would catch one next time I want to eat chicken!"

"Okay, your treatment...it's pitiful that I'm alone and have no one to praise me, so I have to keep the money myself..."

What he said... everyone turned their eyes to A Guang, "How many games are there tonight?"

After they handed over the money one by one, their pockets were empty again. Fatty and Chen Wei still had no money to share. Aguang felt sorry for himself if he couldn't beat him for a few games!

A Guang stared and instinctively covered his pocket, "If you don't want to play, I will stop gambling!"

"I'm sorry to say this, but you usually scream harder than anyone else!"

"starting today!"

Everyone rolled their eyes together!

The originally boring work, with the participation of this group of friends, has made the moving process more fun.

When work ended in the evening, Ye's mother asked Ye Yaodong in a low voice, "Do you want to give half a day's wages to your friends?"

"No, just take care of the food. They can't work for a few days, and they won't come every day."

"Okay, then I won't remember it."

After working for two days, Ye Yaodong didn't go on Monday, and neither did his friends.

He had discussed with Lin Xiuqing the night before that he would take the old lady to the county hospital to get her teeth fixed on Monday, but would not go to work the next day and asked her to tell her mother.

Lin Xiuqing gritted her teeth, unlocked the drawer and counted 50 yuan to him, "Take it, is it enough?"

Anyway, it was what he had earned in the past few days, so the pain was only for a moment, and the old lady really loved him.

Ye Yaodong hugged her and kissed her cheek. He knew that his wife was sensible and would not be reluctant to take money and refuse him to be a filial old lady.

"You won't need so much. I'll give it to you if there's any left."

"Um."

On Monday morning, the old lady refused to go. She kept saying that she had not long to live and there was no need to waste money.

Ye Yaodong also insisted, "If you don't come with me, I will get one myself. If it doesn't fit, I will have to spend more money to adjust it!"

The old lady was so angry that her liver ached. She slapped him several times before reluctantly following him out.

She was also afraid of spending too much money.
