Chapter 290 Gift Giving

Ye Huimei returned home on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Sister-in-law Ye and Second-sister-in-law Ye are also from the same village anyway. They only need to walk a few steps to go back to their mother's house, and they don't need to leave food. , it doesn't matter.

  The new son-in-law came to pay New Year's greetings in the first year, and the old house had to treat him well. The three of them went to the old house early in the morning to help with the cooking.

  The three Ye Yaodong brothers also went to chat and play cards with Ah Guang early in the morning, and the four of them happened to join a table, but it was a pity that Father Ye also had itchy hands, so he couldn't get in.

   Later, Ye Yaohua withdrew and let his father play. Father Ye could only draw a few cards, but it didn't take long for work to be over for dinner, and Father Ye was a little bit reluctant.

   Fortunately, it continued in the afternoon, but Father Ye was addicted to his hands.

  The happiest thing in the whole day is to count the children, all of them are around Ye Huimei.

  Ye Huimei not only gave canned cigarettes, alcohol and pastries to the old mother, but each of the three elder brothers also had a copy of the same. She also prepared an extra candy and red envelopes for the children, which made them very happy.

  The ones who opened their mouths and shut their mouths are, my sister-in-law is so kind, my sister-in-law is awesome, my sister-in-law Gong Xi Fa Cai, my sister-in-law...

  Ye Huimei was so yelled at by them that she had a headache, and couldn't help crying and laughing. She could only follow behind and watch them, saving them from spending money to buy firecrackers to fry cow dung.

  Just after coming here today, she heard about their great achievements, and they can really play.

   "Brother Ah Hai is all to blame. There are cow dung all over the new clothes. I was scolded badly by my mother yesterday."

   "It's fine if you don't take off your skins."

   "You talk nonsense. Yesterday, on the first day of the new year, Mother didn't hit or curse anyone!"

  Ye Chenghai rolled his eyes, "It's you, I was forced to stand for most of the day yesterday and my shoulders were sore and my back hurt. You guys are so relieved, it's useless."

"you deserve it!"

   "Again, I'll beat you."

   "Beat me, I'll tell my aunt to beat you. She said she'll keep the account for you first, save it up, and fight together in a few days."

   After saying a few words, a group of children would start arguing, but no one cares about them anyway, as long as they don’t fight.

   Eating and drinking in the old house for a whole day, before leaving, one of them brought a gift home.

  Early in the morning of the third day of junior high school, Ye Yaodong had a simple breakfast, and then went to Secretary Chen's house with cans of cigarettes and alcohol, and even picked a small path.

There is still no sun today, and most of the villagers have gone to visit their relatives, or play cards inside the house, or gather around the small shop. No one saw it.

  When Ye Yaodong arrived at Secretary Chen's house, he happened to have just left. His wife directly asked the eldest grandson to go out to find someone, and called Ye Yaodong to sit down.

   "Happy Chinese New Year, why are you so polite, you come here right away, why are you still taking things? I'll cook some snacks for you..."

  It is their local custom that those who come to pay New Year's greetings with gifts in the first month must cook dim sum to greet them.

  Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped him, "No, no, I just came out after eating breakfast, and it would be a waste to cook it. I don't need to work, and I'm not someone else. I'll just come and sit for a while and then leave..."

   At this time, Secretary Chen was also called back by the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. Why do you remember that my family is celebrating the New Year?"

   "Happy New Year, see what you said, I don't need to rely on you much in the village, of course I have to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to come to my house to curry favor."

   "Hahaha, so honest."

   "Of course", Ye Yaodong looked at the little boy beside him, took out his pocket, took out two dollars, and handed it to him.

   "New Year's money, use it to buy firecrackers."

  The little boy didn't dare to take it and looked at Secretary Chen.

  Secretary Chen patted his head and said with a smile, "Take it away and buy firecrackers. Your third uncle Ye just made a fortune yesterday."

   "Thank you, Uncle Ye."

  Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Look at his ruddy complexion and he is healthy, drowning should not affect him at all."

   "I just dare not go to the beach, other things are fine."

   "It's fine when you grow up and overcome it."

   Secretary Chen nodded, "I heard that the king squid you caught yesterday weighed about 400 catties?"

   "Yes, it's sold for 1200, and each of the three brothers will share a little."

  I already know the weight, not to mention that he must also know the price. Uncle Zhou must have mentioned it when he came back.

"It can also make up for the loss of your elder brother and second brother some time ago. Also, next time you catch some rare goods, don't rush to send them away. Let me know in advance, and people in the village can also find someone to take pictures and deliver them to Maybe the newspaper office can also be published in the newspaper and become famous.”

   "Why do you always want to be famous?"

   "The village is famous, and everyone's life is easier, and it's our village's honor to catch big goods, isn't it?"

  Ye Yaodong nodded, "Well, it also depends on luck, not everyone can meet."

   Secretary Chen patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Your luck is not bad after the prodigal son turns back, or is the new house better in Fengshui? There will be more neighbors in the next year."

  As soon as Ye Yaodong mentioned this, he became depressed, "Is there really someone who wants to be our neighbor?"

  His wife has been there for more than 6 months, and her belly is showing a little bit. At first, she thought that there were not many people going to the new house, so she should be able to hide it, but she was caught off guard.

   "Well, it will be approved after the measurement in the next year."

  Then only the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil.

   "Oh, you really have a vision."

"There is little land in the village. In the past, people thought it was too close to the beach, and they would rather squeeze in the village to find a piece of land. Now everyone sees that you are thriving, but many people have their eyes on that piece. Just right, build more houses. , your place can also be a little more lively."

  He nodded casually, he really didn't want that kind of excitement, since there are so many children in the family, it should be lively enough.

   "By the way, the village committee didn't write me down about the 10,000-yuan household last time, did it?"

   "It doesn't matter, it's over, it was Ye Yaohong's wife who ran into her, and the county also got a performance by the way, so I didn't embarrass everyone."

"That's good."

   I don't know if Secretary Chen Zhouxuan helped to speak, anyway, this thigh is hugged well, there will be no harm, and there are people in the DPRK who are good at handling things.

  Ye Yaodong continued to chat with Secretary Chen for a few more words before leaving.

   On the way back, he ran into his aunt's family by accident.

   At the time of the move, his aunt didn't have time to come. It had been half a year, and this was the first time he saw his aunt, and they still called him. He was taken aback for a moment before realizing who it was.

   "Auntie, Uncle, Happy Chinese New Year, have you just entered the village?"

   "Just entered the village, where are you from, Dongzi?"

   "After wandering around, it's rare for my eldest uncle not to go on a big boat this year, and he can still celebrate the New Year at home."

  The eldest uncle is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a typical seaside face. His dark face is covered with weather, his temples are gray and his hair looks a little old, his lips look bruised and a little dry and peeled.

  The smile on his face looked very amiable.

   "I just came back on the night of the twenty-ninth night, and I can still spend a year at home. I heard that you have bought a big boat, and you are better than your two brothers. You are amazing. I heard that it has only been less than half a year..."

   "Hehe~ luck, don't boast, I will be proud."

   "It's really amazing. Who can buy a boat of more than ten meters in half a year, and it doesn't depend on the family..."

   "Who is bragging, my parents also helped, otherwise I would still be at home eating and dying."

   "Hahaha~"

   Aunt Ye smiled and said, "Old lady, who else could it be? Last time I came back, I praised you so much."
