In the past, everyone felt that they were not their own grandchildren, but now they feel that their father picked them up.

They are all grandsons, why is the difference so big.

Fortunately, I can still be a human being.

The children who can enliven the atmosphere the most are gone, and the older generation is silent, and now even the middle level of them is suddenly depressed, and they don't want to talk anymore, it's too annoying.

So much so that as soon as they entered the village, after a brief speech, everyone went back to their respective homes.

Only the old lady was helped by the three brothers, Aunt Ye and her uncle, to the Mazu Temple by the beach.

If you don't ask the gods, neither Father Ye nor Uncle Ye will back down, and if there is one thing that has finally made some progress, then it will have to be stranded, and I don't know what to delay.

Ye Yaodong didn't care about them, anyway, his father was fine.

When he came home with a bunch of light cakes, he also burped at the same time, and all kinds of scolding came from the three of them.

Ye Chenghu's voice was the loudest, "Isn't there a washing machine?" ”

"You can play so dirty with a washing machine, right? Is that also the reason? Hurry up and take it off for me. ”

"If you don't hit me, I'll take off my ......"

"Dare to bargain......"

"I don't want to take it off, it hurts to take it off, are you going to fight now......" Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang shrank in the corner, and the more they spoke, the quieter they became.

He first scraped the stones on the ground with the soles of his shoes at the door, and then rubbed off the mud under his feet before entering the house, and when he entered the house, he heard Ye Chenghu pulling with Ye Chengyang in a whisper, and the two disliked each other.

"Don't hide behind me, you're so dirty......"

"You're dirty too......"

"You're dirtier ......"

Lin Xiuqing angrily blocked the two in the corner of the wall, and the two children jumped up and down like monkeys, squeezing each other, trying to shrink behind each other, as funny as they wanted.

Ye Yaodong was familiar with looking in the house, Ye Xiaoxi was sitting on the chair and flicking his legs around, watching his two brothers being beaten, and eating the oranges that his aunt brought over in the morning, so uncomfortable.

He walked straight over and spread out his palms by the way, "Share it with me." ”

Ye Xiaoxi's face was wrinkled, and then he picked out a small half and put it in his hand.

Ye Yaodong put it in his mouth, but his sour eyes were narrowed into a line, and his facial features were distorted.

She couldn't stop giggling.

"So sour?"

"Hahaha~Stupid~"

Lin Xiuqing beat the children for a while, and when she saw that their clothes were so thick and not painful, she also felt bored and tired, so she glared at them and told them to go to the bath.

She was going to ask Ye Yaodong about going to the grave first.

When they finished taking a shower and cleaned up, they took off their pants and beat them, but now that they were so dirty, she didn't bother to do it.

"What do you say? What about Grandma? Why didn't they come back together? What about my aunt and father? ”

"I went to the Mazu Temple to drop the Holy Grail."

He told her what had happened on the mountain.

"When the quarrel went down the mountain, no one could convince anyone, so I decided to go to the Mazu Temple to drop the Holy Grail."

"Will this work? Usually the old lady can fall several times, until she is satisfied, she has no prestige at all, and when the result of the fall comes out, it is the same who is not convinced. ”

"Then at least you can fall first, see what Mazu says, and wait for them to come back."

"Is that going to cook more of my aunt and uncle's rice?"

"Cook more, you have to keep them to eat, and they have to eat, and they can cook more, if you don't stay, you can still fry rice at night."

"Egg fried rice!" Ye Chenghu brought a basin of water, and did not forget to say his request.

"Do you want to eat the whip?"

"Don't."

He quickly took the hot water he had mixed with it, and then spilled it back to the master bedroom room as he walked.

There was originally a room downstairs that was idle, but now it was filled with dried fish, although there was still a shelf bed, but there was nothing else except the bed, Lin Xiuqing was also worried that the water would spill everywhere when they took a bath, and the dried fish would get wet, and now they were not allowed to enter that room to wash, so they were asked to take the basin to the master bedroom to wash.

Glancing at the two mud monkeys, she turned her head to talk to Ye Yaodong again.

"If this can be said to be settled, it will save trouble, and it will be necessary to rip off, has my aunt's family been relaxed in recent years? can also directly say the money from the uncle's side, she will pay it first, and just pay the IOU. ”

"Maybe, the sons are married, the daughters are married, the two old ones have no burden, there is no place to spend a lot of money, and they can still earn money, and it is normal to save some money on hand. What's more, the aunt used to be quite clean, and repairing the tomb is a big thing and a good thing. ”

"Then I'll go cook first, I guess no matter what the result will be later, I'll definitely have to make a lot of noise when I come back." Lin Xiuqing tied her apron and started to work on lunch.

Originally, when they went up the mountain in the morning, she had already prepared all the dishes to be cooked at noon at home, and now she only needs to add two more dishes while they are cooking.

Fortunately, she is not busy these days, and she can also arrange the meals of the guests, they have not been out to sea for 10 days, and the workshop has been idle for almost half a month, she is also idle at home, as long as she takes advantage of the sunny day, arrange the fish to expose the goods every three or five times, keep an account, and collect the money.

Ye Yaodong, an idler waiting for dinner, sat in a row with Ye Xiaoxi and watched TV, watching her stuff oranges into her mouth one by one, her eyes and nose were wrinkled together, but she was still eating.

"Is it delicious?"

She shook her head.

"Then you still eat!"

Ye Xiaoxi wrinkled his face, looked at him innocently, pouted and continued to suck the orange in his hand little by little, without speaking.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and answered for her, "She has an itchy mouth." ”

"So gluttonous."

Ye Yaodong smiled and rubbed her head, the two small chirps tied to the top of her head were already a little loose after half a day, and he rubbed it, and it was even more messy.

Ye Xiaoxi also shook his head, dodging his big hand.

"Mother, where are my clothes?" Ye Chenghu shrank behind the door and shouted Lin Xiuqing, his feet kept beating, "It's cold, it's cold~"

"I don't know where to put my clothes? Call me anything, how old are you? I have to wait for you until you ...... old."

"Dad is so old and asks you."

"Can it be the same? That's my wife. ”

"Shame shame ~ light slip ~ get bare slip ~ "

"Don't look at it!"

Lin Xiuqing stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove before going to the house to find clothes for their brother.

Ye Yaodong looked at the TV, and looked outside the house from time to time, feeling that more than half an hour had passed, and he hadn't come back for so long? I don't know if it was directly in the temple to quarrel.

He went to the door again and looked around, but there was no one walking by the beach, probably still in the temple.

The left can't wait, the right can't wait, and when the hour has passed, it's almost time to eat, and a bunch of people have come back to his eldest brother's house next door.

He also heard the voice next door in the house and knew that he was back, and then immediately got up and hurried over.

As soon as he passed, he heard his father's voice.

"Mazu has said it, what do you want to do with that piece of land? That's right, now it's going to change again. ”

The old lady also poked the crutches on the ground a few times, "Horizontally and vertically, you don't agree, the second and third are fine, as far as your opinions are big, you have a lot of things, when you throw it clearly, throw it once if you say it's good, listen to Mazu, and now you regret it again." ”

"Mother, you can't help the third child all day long, you have to think about the situation of my family, that piece of land feng shui is really not good for my family......"

"Then how do you guarantee that if you look at a piece of land again, Feng Shui will prosper your family? At that time, the land was also invited to be seen well, at the beginning, weren't all three good, it has been like this for several years, I think it has nothing to do with feng shui. ”

"Your family has become more and more prosperous in recent years, of course you said so......"

The two of them blushed and had thick necks, and they didn't fight for a reason, they heard and heard those words, and no one could convince anyone, Ye Yaodong listened for a while, and sighed and had a headache.

Ye Erbo has not said a word, waiting for the two of them to argue.

It wasn't until Ye Yaopeng hesitated that he interrupted them, "Or will I invite another gentleman tomorrow, count the eight characters of the uncle's family, and then take a look at the mountain to see if that piece of land is suitable for his family?" If the fortune teller also says that it will be good, then don't change it, and if it is really inappropriate, then find another piece to meet everyone? ”

Ye Erbo spoke up at this time, "That's okay, let's see if the feng shui is not in line with the eldest brother's family, and then let's say, first count the eight characters of the eldest brother's family." Otherwise, no one can convince anyone, and this matter is still hanging there. ”

Uncle Ye immediately agreed, "Okay, that's it, I'll go find someone to calculate the eight characters first, and then see if that feng shui will be suitable for our family." ”

Aunt Ye also said: "Then let's find someone to take a look, if Mr. Ren also says it's okay, then you can't object anymore." ”

"This must be, if it weren't for the feng shui problem, then I consider myself unlucky." Uncle Ye gritted his teeth and responded.

If it wasn't a matter of Feng Shui, what else could he say?

After arguing for a long time, this time it can be regarded as a step back, and an agreement is about to be reached for the time being, and everyone else is relieved.

The old lady also drove people away with her crutches, "Okay, after arguing all morning about this matter, and it's time for lunch, you will go back to your own house to eat, and I won't keep you, I also eat at Dongzi's house." ”

Uncle Ye and Second Uncle Ye nodded and went out directly, ready to go home for dinner.

Aunt Ye and her uncle also planned to go back, but Ye Yaodong stopped them and invited them to leave after eating.

"Whose grain is blowing in the wind? You don't have land, and the food is bought from others, so we won't add two mouths, and we will have something to eat anyway when we go home, and the matter will be solved anyway. ”

"Dongzi has been invited, and it's rare for you to come here, just stay and eat, it is estimated that Aqing's rice is ready, don't waste it, it's not an outsider, it's all your own family......"

The old lady and Ye Yaodong strongly invited, and Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also politely invited them.

They couldn't shirk it, so they followed Ye Yaodong back to eat.

The three brothers are now Ye Yaodong's best, richest, and most promising, so they stay for dinner, and of course they are the first choice to go to his house.

Everyone originally thought that the matter of repairing the tomb was done first, but Uncle Ye asked a gentleman to read it and then talk about it, and everyone didn't go to sea at night, so they all waited first, and the next day to see what to say, and solved the matter first, and then it was not too late to go to sea.

Who knew that the next morning, Uncle Ye's face turned pale, the whole person seemed to have not slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he ran over to say that the cemetery didn't need to be seen, just the original mountain, find someone to see it today, and start construction on a day.

Everyone was very surprised, Father Ye didn't care about continuing halfway through breakfast, so he put down his chopsticks and asked first.

But Uncle Ye just gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, only said that he had figured it out.

Or did Ye Yaodong see that he was in a state of mind and had dark circles under his eyes, so he asked him if he was having a nightmare?

Only then did he say with a pale face that he kept dreaming after falling asleep at night, dreaming that his father scolded him for being unfilial, and wanted to let him die without a place to bury him......

was so scared that Uncle Ye didn't dare to sleep all night, as soon as he slept, it was as if someone was standing next to his bed, and his father climbed up to question him in his mind.

So early this morning, as soon as the hall was brightened, he immediately ran over and said that he wanted to see the days and repair the tomb immediately, and then asked the old lady to help recite the scriptures a few more times and talk to the old man.

Originally, he went directly to the old mansion, who knew that Father Ye got up so early, and he had already come over for breakfast not long after dawn, so he had to go to his side again.

Ye Yaodong laughed and watched the people leave before he said: "Or my grandma is amazing, just say a few words, my grandfather listened to it, and climbed up overnight to settle accounts with my uncle?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, your uncle is just panicked by the events of the day, thinking about it every day, dreaming at night, and being frightened by dreams."

Ye Mu said sarcastically: "I don't do bad things during the day, I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, but my heart is weak, otherwise why am I afraid that my father will look for him at night?" ”

The old lady stopped them from continuing to talk about this, "It's good to say it, and you don't need to talk about it." Look at him pitiful, and after a while, the third child will go to the next village to find a gentleman to see the day of the start of construction, and find a few masons by the way, and let Ah Fan go to the mountains to work with him, so that he can subsidize the shared money and owe a little less. ”

"Got it."

Of course, it would be best to be able to solve it so easily.

After Father Ye quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl, he immediately went to find someone to watch the day, and by the way, he called the workers, and quickly set a time to start work, so as to avoid regretting it when the time comes.

After everything was settled, he handed over this matter to Ye Erbo to watch, after all, the weather is good, if the wind is calm, they will go to sea again, in the state of Uncle Ye, where dare he be asked to do things, it just so happens that Ye Erbo is not doing anything now, so let him supervise it from time to time.

Regarding the major events of the ancestors' tomb repair, he didn't dare to mess around, nor did he dare to break the feng shui.

What's more, Ye Yaofan also went to repair the tomb to work, and he could also supervise each other, the workers were called by Ye's father, and if there was any problem, he would come over and tell them first, so that they could make up their minds.

Pei's father had already gone to sea the second day after going to the grave, and sent Ah Guang to the city by the way, he couldn't wait for the Dongsheng, there were so many things in their family, who knew when they had to grind their mouths, so they left first.

It is also true that after Father Ye finished these things, it was already three days later, and they began to work on the matter of going to sea at night.

It's already April, and there will be more fish in the spring, and a day without going to sea is a day's loss.

But they did not wait for the night to go out to sea, and in the evening, it began to rain again, and they were worried that the weather in the open sea would be bad, so they had to postpone it for another day.

Unexpectedly, after a day of delay, the harvest also came back the next day, and it was also saying that the weather in the open sea was bad and the waves were big.

The father and son had to continue to rest, fortunately they are not like other people's families, just rest, and it will not be in the way for a year.

Also because of his free time, after the cemetery started, he also ran up the mountain every day, watched the workers dig the mountain rocks and worked, and from time to time he could go down the mountain and pass by Ah Guang's house, drink two drinks with Pei's father and then go back.

So much so that as soon as Mother Ye arrived at the meal, she scolded Father Ye at the dinner table with a flushed face.

"If you start drinking horse urine in broad daylight, you shouldn't be idle, let you make a little more baskets, I don't know where to make it, if it weren't for your feet of mud every day, I should have wondered which widow's house you ran to."

"What nonsense, I'm old, talking like that."

"The in-laws are ready to start the second spring, what can't you talk about?"

Father Ye almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, and quickly swallowed it and coughed violently, "How do you know?" ”

"Hmph, what can you hide from me in the village?"

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also had stunned expressions on their faces.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly stretched his neck and swallowed the rice, "Then what do you mean?" What is Uncle Pei's second spring? With which widow? No way? Really? Ah Guang is going to have a stepmother? ......"

Father Ye hurriedly glared at the mother and son, "Don't talk nonsense, you haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, take care of your mouth, spread it out, and let people behave like people?" ”

Lin Xiuqing's face was full of curiosity, biting her chopsticks, and asked in disbelief: "Mother, what you said is true?" Uncle Pei is looking for another one again, hasn't he been single for more than ten years, and he hasn't looked for it again for so long, now looking for it? ”

"Yes, I didn't look for it when I was young, but now I look for it, and I have to find it... Interesting... Ahem, are you still looking for this handful when you're old? Ye Yaodong was not embarrassed to say it so bluntly, there were old and young people at the dinner table.

If it's just him and Ah Qing, then he has no taboos.

"What are you asking about the elders......" Father Ye stopped them from asking, and wanted to cover it up.

"What can't be said, sooner or later", Ye Yaodong's face was full of gossip, "What's the matter?" Mother, is there anything to say here? Which widow is Uncle Pei with? He's 50, right? It doesn't look much younger than my dad. ”

Father Ye glared at him fiercely, "Don't compare me, he is one year younger than me, you talk a lot, and when you eat all day, it's not the East and West families." ”

Mother Ye also glanced at Father Ye, "Don't you like to listen too?" Say it when you don't eat, when to say it? You don't have to know a little bit about everything in the village, otherwise, you won't know what people ask you. ”

"Why do you want to know so much......

"Oh, don't sell it, which widow is Uncle Pei with?" Lin Xiuqing felt like a cat scratching in her heart, if she wasn't so curious about others, it had something to do with her own family.

"Isn't there a widow next door to my in-laws? Two years ago, I witnessed the men in the family being caught in fishing nets and dragged into the sea, and the two eldest daughters in the family were married, leaving only the younger children, orphans and widows. The in-laws saw that they were pitiful, so they came to the door from time to time to help chop firewood, pick up water or something, and after a long time, people saw it, and there were rumors around. ”

"I know, I know, their family's first boat was sold to Uncle Pei by the widow." The fire of gossip in Ye Yaodong's eyes was blazing, and he immediately spoke up.

"Yes, it's their home. There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, although both of them are old, but it is difficult to ensure that the neighbors have a few words, and some people listen to them, and they don't talk like words. However, last year, I didn't talk about it much, because my in-laws often weren't at home when they went to sea, and there were a few big dramas in the village from time to time. ”

"Then why do you say Uncle Pei's second spring now?"

"That Ma Lifang, oh, it's the widow, someone saw her going in and out of her in-laws' house during the meal and bringing them cooked food."

"That's it?"

"Or else? One often comes to the door to pick up water and chop firewood to deliver fish and shrimp, and the other comes to deliver cooked dishes. ”

Ye Yaodong's face was full of regret, and he thought that he could hear something exciting, such as Lao Beng's Huaizhu or something.

Lin Xiuqing's face was full of deep understanding, and she also felt that there must be something greasy in it.

"Did you see it again in the past two days, so it started to spread again?"

"Yes, the neighbors on the left and right saw Ma Lifang serving food in the past two days, and they all joked if they were about to do a good thing, and then Ma Lifang didn't refute it, just smiled and asked everyone not to guess."

"Tut-tut, it looks like Ah Guang is really going to have a stepmother."

Ye Mu slapped him twice, "What are you happy about, what are you gloating, do you really want your sister to have a stepmother-in-law?" ”

"No, I have nothing to be happy about, it's not that I have one more......"

Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's fierce eyes, and only then did he realize that he instinctively reacted and almost answered the wrong call, so he hurriedly took a sip, and then continued.

"I just think it's strange, Uncle Pei didn't say that he would find one when he was young, and then have two more sons, and now he will look for it when he is old?"

"Yes, why didn't Uncle Pei look for it when he was young, and now he is looking for it when he is old?" Lin Xiuqing also repeated his question.

"Isn't that old? When there is always a sickness, if you don't find a wife to live with and serve, what should you do when you get old in the future? Do you still expect your daughter-in-law to serve? It's not convenient, and the son is not always around, where will the son take care of people. ”

This was said by Father Ye.

"So Dad, you also know, Uncle Pei is really looking for it, how old is the widow? More than 40? ”

He looks like he's in his 50s, but it's not surprising that women work so hard these days, and at 40 he looks like he's in his 50s.

"It's over 40, where can I care about how old other people's widows are, anyway, I used to get married early, and I got married in my teens."

"That's okay, a widow and a widower, just matched, the two families are still next to each other, and they don't need to move."

"You haven't even scratched the eight characters yet, so you have to worry about it first?"

"I'm not guessing, let's talk about it, Ah Guang is not here, I can't help him listen to a little more news, lest he suffer."

"What's the loss, both of them are old, and Ah Guang is married and has children." Father Ye's face was full of disapproval.

Ye's mother didn't think so, "That's hard to say, it's not that there are more than 40 children who have children." ”

"What can you do when that family gives birth to an old man? Ah Guang just doesn't have brothers, so it's okay to have a few more. ”

"What do you know as a big man, the widow's family has several small ones, and they take over, and they can't raise her family, and then a small one, whose blood will they gnaw?"

"The woman's family is just long hair and short knowledge, and the current conditions of the in-laws are no worse than ours, and they can't afford to raise a few children? Is there anything you can eat in one bite? Now you can give people a bite to eat, and when you get old, you can have a few more children to support the elderly. ”

"You think so well, do you want to find a widow too? How many more cheap children will give you the old age? ”

"What nonsense? Don't mess around, talk about others well, why do you have to pull it on me, where do you look at me unpleasantly? ”

Seeing that the two old ones were about to quarrel again, Lin Xiuqing hurriedly changed the topic.

"No, mother, why didn't Uncle Pei find one when he was young?"

"Afraid that your stepmother will abuse your child, right?" Ye Yaodong guessed.

Ye Mu glanced at him and said pertinently: "It's nonsense, it's because no one wants to follow him, a big man drags three oil bottles, which woman wants to marry?" Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, there was not enough food and clothing in those years, the family was all small, and a big man supported the family, which good woman would marry and suffer? Also be a cheap stepmother? The remarriage of a widow depends on whether your family has enough to eat. ”

"Then Dad, how do you know that Uncle Pei hasn't written yet?"

"Why do you ask so much?"

"It's all said and done, what's not to say?"

"I have also drunk a few meals at Lao Pei's house in the past few days, and I have watched the wine and food next door a few times, and then I have come back to taste, why am I embarrassed to ask."

"Uncle Pei can be described as a golden single king now, he is rich, he is not very old, and he is still single, there should be many widows and widows in the nearby villages who have taken a fancy to him, right?"

The old lady looked at Father Ye and glared again, and answered with a smile, "Hehe, he is old, he is a big man, and it is really inconvenient for his daughter and daughter-in-law to serve him, so it is good to find a companion." ”

"What's the matter, other people's housework, whether you find it or not is also someone else's business."

"Huh? Does the in-laws mean that they are looking for it? In the afternoon, our women's director was there and said that if her in-laws were looking for her, she could also introduce a few widows, younger ones......"

"You are still in your 40s at the suspect's house, in case a few more children come out......"

"Ah, yes!"

Ye Mu patted her head by herself, "I'm dizzy, just thinking about pulling strings for others, I was disgusted just now." ”

Father Ye glanced at her, "Other people's housework, don't mutter there, it's none of our business, people have their own considerations, can you still meddle in other people's wife?" This is still in-laws, are you embarrassed? ”

Ye Mu muttered, "Isn't this a rush to talk about this?" It's not for me to introduce you. ”

"It's really a good partner, it's also a matter of two old people, it has nothing to do with their young people, it's really okay, and it's time to be happy to have a companion for others."

Ye Mu pouted, and wanted to reply, but she still stopped thinking about it.

After eating, after the two old ones left, the couple sat there watching TV and eating melon seeds, and chatted about this topic again, which was really exciting for the two of them.

"I don't know if Ah Guang knows, if there are signs of this, I should have known it a long time ago."

"I must know, my son, and I live under the same roof, and the widow is still the neighbor next door, I must know, even I shouldn't be embarrassed to meddle in my father's business, so I let it go." Lin Xiuqing peeled melon seeds for the two children on the side, and said.

"It's good to find a partner, otherwise I'll be lonely when I'm old, and I've never heard Emi talk about it."

"What did she say? That's her father-in-law, what else can she tell us? At most, she said a few words to her mother, and she must have followed their old ideas. ”

After speaking, she said: "It's also convenient to live next door, there is no need to move, as long as the widow moves in, the widow's children don't need to move, and they can live in the same house as in their own home, and they don't need to live in someone else's house." ”

"You haven't even skimmed the eight characters, and you already think so well of others?"

Lin Xiuqing laughed and slapped him, "Isn't this no one else?" As far as we gossiped, we didn't go out to talk. ”

"You're talking about this little girl's grandfather!"

Pei Yu looked left and right blankly, and when he saw that the melon seeds were in his mouth, he opened his mouth crookedly with smiling eyes.

"How many teeth does this girl have? Can you still eat melon seeds? ”

"Don't look at her shorter than your daughter, thinner than your daughter, her teeth grow very fast, one and a half years old, she has grown 12, although the big teeth have not grown, but you can still bite this small melon seed."

"Emi will be born in about two months, so if you have anything to give, prepare in advance."

"Well, I know, your daughter's little clothes at that time have already been given to her for Xiaoyu to wear, I'll go to the town to buy two pieces of cotton fabric later, and make two new sets for me."

"The little wife seems to be about to give birth at about the same time, haven't you seen anyone come to check recently?"

"I have heard my mother say that as soon as people come, they will smile and greet them to eat first, and there is a pot in the compound of the village committee......"

"Then you have to come every day?"

"Ahem, I often come here, but I don't go around the village much, I only walk around occasionally, and when they come out with enough food and drink, everyone hears the wind in advance, and those who have ghosts hide in advance, but no one is arrested."

"It's good, if I had been so witty before, I wouldn't have to hide out."

"Then it's better to hide out and be safe, who knows when you won't play the cards according to the rules."

The couple chatted while watching TV.
