Verse 23: The Taste of Home
"So, your brother is a Taoist priest?" ”
"Go, your brother is a Taoist priest." Ye Zi took a bamboo pole and beat two dates down: "Ye Mo is following a 'fake Taoist', learning Chinese medicine and martial arts. Listen to him, he also learned qigong. ”
Zhao Yiyang took it and tasted it, it was a little bitter, so he threw it under the tree and asked, "Qigong?" You brag about it. ”
"Well, that's what he told me. But ah, my brother's fight is really good, and once I was robbed when I went shopping with my brother. My brother fought five by himself and threw all five gangs of robbers to the ground. He also won a good citizen award for this, and the medal is still hanging in my room, and I don't believe we can go up and see it. ”
There were new bedding in the wardrobe, all of which were prepared by Ye Mo's mother, Ye Mo took them out and spread them on the bed. Just as he was about to lie on the bed for a while, Father Ye shouted downstairs: "Mowa, come down." ”
Ye Mo went down and took out all the things in the car: "Dad, Mom, this is the clothes that Ye Zi and I bought for you." ”
"You two children...... Ye Mo's father was full of smiles, found the 'daughter-in-law tea', and said, "I'll go make a cup of daughter-in-law tea first and see if it tastes good." ”
Mother Ye picked up the clothes one by one, looked at the price on them, looked distressed, and said: "It's not easy for you to be in the United States, you can't spend a little money like this, save it, and ......get married in the future."
"Mom, your son is rich now." Ye Mo pretended to be cautious and said: "Your son bought a lottery ticket in the United States and won the jackpot. After reading the news half a month ago, the $230 million jackpot ...... Your son is among me. ”
"Really?"
"What are you lying to! Give me my bank card at home ......"
Ye Ma handed over the bank card to Ye Mo with a confused face.
Looking at the card number, Ye Mo took out his mobile phone and transferred 5.5 million into it. After a while, Ye's mother's mobile phone text message came, and at this look, Ye's mother was not lightly frightened.
5.5 million, which is money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.
"So much money?" Mother Ye took a deep breath and asked.
When Dad came out, Mother Ye showed him her mobile phone, and she was suddenly frightened: "Where did you get the money?" ”
"Your son bought the jackpot in the lottery ticket."
Ye Mo also wanted to take his parents to the United States when he came back this time: "Mom and Dad, come with me over there." I bought a winery, a villa in Napa. Napa Valley, you know, it's a great environment, the sky is blue, the air is good, and the wine is good. Come with me. ”
Father Ye and Mother Ye were still in the fog, and when they heard their son asking them to go to the United States, they immediately shook their heads, and Father Ye said, "What are you doing in the United States?" We can't speak foreign languages, and we can't get used to drinking foreign wine. There wasn't even anyone to talk to. ”
Ye Ma also said: "What are you doing in the United States?" And your dad and I have jobs here, go to and from work, and play cards and talk to neighbors when we have free time. Besides, the air in the United States is good and the sky is blue. We're not bad here......"
"Well, let's go play for a while. Maybe you'll like life over there? Ye Mo persuaded him vigorously, but the old couple couldn't go over.
Ye Zi came down from the upstairs at this time, glanced at Ye Mo, and said, "Brother, don't persuade me." Mom was airsick, it was a few years ago, and I was going to see you every summer, but my mother was airsick and went to Beijing where my mother was in the hospital for almost a week...... You don't know, my mother's airsickness is so scary, and the crew is scared with a white face, I thought it was ......"
"You kid, what nonsense." Mother Ye glared at the girl.
"How did I not know?"
"It's not that I'm afraid you're worried, so I didn't dare to sue you."
Dad Ye patted Ye Mo on the shoulder and said, "Otherwise, let's see if we can cure my mother's motion sickness." If it is cured, find a time to visit your winery again. ”
"Brother, you are not allowed to force your father and mother to stay abroad. I'm still muttering at home. Besides, what are parents doing abroad? The relatives at home are all there, the relationship between the neighbors is also good, and when you have free time, you play cards together and go abroad? Who are parents looking to play with, even if someone plays with them, will they fight the landlord? Do you know mahjong? Moreover, my parents can't even speak Mandarin well, let alone go abroad. ”
Ye Mo thought about it, and it was true: "Mom, I'll give you a pulse." ”
"What's the pulse, my body is so good."
"Show me." Ye Mo gave his mother a pulse, maybe he was not good at learning, his mother had a little slight anemia, which has always been the case, and all other indicators were normal.
Ye Mo didn't know much about motion sickness, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Okay, don't stand still. Take Yangyang out for a walk and see the scenery of our small mountain village. Mother Ye couldn't stand Ye Mo's frowning expression, pushed him, and said.
The small mountain village has mountains and rivers, and is surrounded by mountains. From a feng shui point of view, the village should be a place of treasure and prosperity. In fact, the small mountain village had thought about construction, cutting down the trees on the hill to plant fruit trees, and the government came. It is said that it is a metasequoia tree, and the state protects the tree species and does not allow it to be cut. In recent years, as people in the village have gone out to work, every family has money, and the village has become much better. The thatched huts and thatched houses are basically gone, and the worst ones are blue bricks and tiles.
"The small river in front of you, don't look at it small, but the name is very atmospheric, called Xinjiang. I heard from the older generation in the village that this river was dug by my master. ”
"This mountain, don't look at it as not high, but it is part of the Qiongzhou Mountain Range. When I was a child, I lived in the mountains, and it took me two or three hours to walk. In the mountains, there are often people who can catch hares, pheasants, and the like, and those game ......."
Ye Mo explained to Zhao Yiyang, Ye Zi interjected from time to time, and said, "Well, my brother is a master of catching hares. When I was a child, I liked my brother the most, because every time he went down the mountain, he would catch two or three hares and come back. Also, don't look at the shallow water in this Xinjiang, there are a lot of fish in it, as well as crabs and yellow eels. But in recent years, many people use electricity to fish, and the fish, shrimp and crabs in Xinjiang are almost extinct. ”
After walking around outside for a while, I heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance.
Ye Mo: They knew that the night banquet had begun.
In the countryside, it is still very popular to hold a wedding banquet in your own home, inviting neighbors and relatives and friends to your own yard, and dozens or hundreds of people get together to be lively and lively, sending blessings to the newlyweds.
"Brother Ye Mo, Sister Ye Zi, sister-in-law, come and sit." Ye Xiaofu of the fourth uncle's family saw Ye Mo coming, and hurriedly stood up, beckoning and shouting.
"Hey, Xiaofuzi, where did you go in the afternoon?"
"Sister Mingxi and I went to the city." Ye Xiaofu walked over.
Ye Mo patted his head, the brothers and sisters in the family, except for Ye Zi's own sister, the best one with himself is Ye Xiaofu. This guy likes to run into the mountains and often steals money from his family to buy snacks for himself. At that time, Ye Mo was seventeen or eighteen years old, but his craving for snacks was like that of a child, so he did not fool Ye Xiaofu less, causing him to be whipped by four uncles.
The people who sat down were all from the younger generation of the Ye family: "Little fourth brother, change seats with the eldest brother." The third brother finally came back, and I accompanied him to drink. ”
Ye Xiaofu was about to stand up, but Ye Mo pulled him and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't drink." ”
"Let's have some beer."
"I haven't eaten lunch yet, and my belly is growling." Ye Mo really didn't want to drink with Ye Shuchun, he was also a brother of the Ye family, and Ye Mo couldn't help but complain, his character was not good, and the wine was not much better. As soon as this man drinks, he is open-mouthed, likes to play drunk, and it is better to stay away from him.
"Come on, let's go." Ye Zi is not as sophisticated as Ye Mo, he enlivens the atmosphere, and says, "Yangyang, don't be polite here." Don't look at the dishes as good as those made in big city hotels, but the things here have a taste that can't be eaten outside. ”
