Ye Yaodong looked at her joyful expression and was worried about her. He didn't know what she would do when his eldest cousin came back...
The neighbors are all here, so he shouldn't be beaten too badly, right
I just don't know how long his cousin's "business empire" can last
This was her own fault, and it had nothing to do with him. He would never take the initiative to cut off other people's financial resources.
Crowds come and go quickly.
A group of people surrounded the leaders and village cadres, and happily followed Mrs. Ye to her home, talking a lot.
The front door of the house was suddenly empty again and became deserted again.
Both his elder brother and second brother's families were a little confused. They only listened to the general idea and seemed to understand it. As soon as the people left, they hurried to ask him.
"What's going on, Dongzi? How come you were said to be a millionaire, and suddenly you're not anymore? Are you really mistaken?"
"No wonder Secretary Chen kept coming to my house these days..."
"How could they get it wrong? How could they get the name wrong for such a big thing as a millionaire?"
"I'm totally confused, what's going on..."
Ye Chenghu also tilted his head to look at him, "Dad, what is a millionaire? Why do so many people come to our house?"
Ye Yaodong glanced down at his eldest son, then looked at the four curious people. "The county issued a directive to report the millionaires, but the village made a mistake in their names. They were going to report my eldest cousin, but a bunch of old fools wrote the wrong name and made a mistake. Alas, I also wanted to be a millionaire, look... how glorious it is... but I'm not that lucky... Alas..."
The more he spoke, the more regretful he felt, and he shook his head...
Mrs. Ye was obviously relieved, and her originally serious expression was also covered with a smile, "It turns out that I made a mistake. I was wondering how your family could accumulate wealth so quickly."
"Haha... With Adong's luck, it's only a matter of time. If it doesn't work this year, maybe it will work next year." Mrs. Ye also put on a smile.
Big Brother Ye also nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin's family is indeed rich. They have bought all kinds of home appliances. It turns out that they are all millionaires."
Brother Ye also smiled innocently: "In a few days, I can get the interest again."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's almost a month, and I can get this month's interest again," Ye Ersao said happily, "Eldest Sister-in-law is so lucky, she can enjoy it so soon, and it's even in the newspapers and on TV..."
Sister Ye also smiled and agreed, "Who said it wasn't true? My eldest cousin is really proud of himself..."
Ye Yaodong laughed, "Yes, my eldest cousin is really proud of himself..."
The two sisters-in-law happily talked about the ten thousand yuan households for a while, and were looking forward to going to collect the interest together in a few days. As they were talking, they wanted to go and see the fun now.
"Ah Qing, do you want to go with us?"
"No, I haven't wrung out my quilt yet, and I haven't dried it in the sun yet, so I won't join in the fun."
A group of people came to her door just now and scared her so much that she didn't want to join in the fun.
The two of them just made a casual invitation, and if they didn't want to go, they would just drag their men to watch the fun.
Ye Yaodong waited until their backs were far away before he said, "My eldest cousin is about to explode."
"Really, so soon?"
"There's a vain woman at home who's courting death. Otherwise, I might be able to hold on for a few more months."
"Alas, I wonder what will happen then? Maybe they really are doing business?"
"Just watch!"
"Ah, it's good that nothing happened to us. It's a pity that the eldest and second sisters-in-law didn't listen to my advice. I don't care about them anymore. Please help me wring out the quilt quickly. It's all wet and too heavy."
Ye Yaodong walked forward and grabbed one end of the quilt with her. They twisted it in opposite directions, and water flowed all over the floor. Their hands were also ice-cold.
"I'm freezing. Why should I wash the quilt in such a cold weather..."
"Your son has lice on his head, why don't you wash it? I don't know who infected him from? It's so disgusting. I give him a bath and wash his hair every other day, but he still has lice. After I dry the quilt in the sun, I will have to catch the lice and wash his hair and hair..."
"Isn't it normal to have head lice these days?"
"That's someone else... Except for the fact that they were naughty and their clothes got a little dirty, I washed them very diligently, okay... Come on, wring them out again..."
"That's because I got too close to others and got infected..."
After they had wrung out the quilt and hung it on a bamboo pole to dry in the sun, they moved on to wrung out the sheets, which were thin and easy to wrung out.
After Ye Yaodong finished twisting everything, he rubbed his hands. They were so damn cold. He also took his wife's hands to rub them. Her hands were even colder and redder.
He put her hands together, blew on them, and rubbed them several times before saying, "Go get your clam oil and apply it on yourself, so you don't get frostbite. You're still washing quilts in this cold weather. I'll grab them and beat them up later, you're so troublesome."
"What does it have to do with us?" Ye Chenghu had just brought his turtle out to bask in the sun when he heard this and immediately took two steps back in vigilance.
Ye Yaodong glanced at him and said nothing.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and pulled her hand out of his palm, "It's so luxurious to use it to wipe your hands..."
"What's so extravagant? It's just a few cents. Can't afford it? Go buy some better face cream in a few days, and use this clam oil on your hands."
She glanced at him in reproach, "You're the only one who talks like things don't cost money."
"How much money can I spend? This thing will last me a long time, right?" He said as he went straight into the house, planning to get it himself.
She did not refute, but just shouted at him: "Help me get the comb."
Then he sat down on the reclining chair and waved to his son, "Come here."
"what?"
"Kneel down and lie on my knees. I'll look at your head and pick out the lice for you."
Ye Yaodong took out the comb and clam oil and said, "Apply it first."
"Leave it there for now. I'll wash my hands after I catch the lice. If I apply it now, I'll have to wash my hands later. What a waste."
well!
Ye Yaodong simply stuck the comb into her head, scooped some clam oil and put it on his arm, then grabbed her hand without saying a word, rubbed the clam oil on the back of her hand, and spread it on her.
"If you want to wipe it, wipe it quickly. It doesn't matter where you go."
Lin Xiuqing didn't move at all, with a smile on her lips, and looked at his rough movements with curved eyebrows, "It's still not too late to wipe it off later."
"It looks red already, why wait? What are you waiting for? You are just waiting for shit."
"Can't you say something nice?" She rolled her eyes at him, feeling happy and warm for a moment, then suddenly feeling nothing.
She pulled her hands back and forth and rubbed them back and forth a few times. Then she took the comb off her head and bent down to look for lice for her eldest son.
She had just combed her hair when she saw two. She picked one out with the comb and pressed it with her two thumbs, killing it with two consecutive crackling sounds.
Then she continued to comb his hair. Ye Chengyang also curiously stretched his head over. Lin Xiuqing pretended to touch his mouth with the back of her hand, "Here you go! You're so close..."
He was so scared that he immediately took two steps back and sat down on the ground.
Ye Yaodong picked him up and said, "Why are you so stupid? I'll let you catch them after your brother has finished catching them."
"Go and boil some hot water for me. I'll give them a bath later."
"Oh, let's steam some straw cakes at the same time, so as not to waste firewood." The day before yesterday and yesterday, his eldest brother and second brother's family also made straw cakes, and they brought a few over.
"Then you steam it."
After boiling the water, he saw that there was nothing to worry about, so he wanted to go to the old house. The weather was clear today, and if there were no problems and the sea was not too windy, he would prepare to go out to sea at night. He had rested for many days. It was like this in winter, and it was especially easy for the wind to blow.
Ye Yaodong walked slowly alone, choosing paths where the sun was shining. Wherever he passed, there were some old people sitting on the roadside, basking in the sun with their sleeves rolled up. There were few young and middle-aged people, probably because they all went to watch the fun.
Thinking of this, he also walked towards the road next to his eldest cousin's house. It would be fine if he didn't come out, but he might as well join in the fun and see how things are developing.
As a result, before I even got close to the door, I saw from a distance that the house in front of me was surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside, and the door was full of people.
He looked at it in amazement. Why were there more people than when he went to his house
Could it be that the news was not yet well-informed at that time, and most people did not keep up, and after going around in circles for so long, all the able-bodied people in the village have come here
How can he squeeze in to watch the fun
He walked forward on tiptoe and jumped twice, only to see a sea of heads but nothing else. He could not help but pat the person in front of him.
"What's going on? Did you hear anything?"
"I heard that Ahong's family is going to become a millionaire, and the county leaders have come to the countryside to visit them..."
"I know that. Any progress?"
"I don't know. It hasn't come out yet. I heard there are a lot of rewards and I can be on TV..."
"The first millionaire in our village, so awesome..."
Isn't this all nonsense
Feeling that these onlookers didn't know as much as he did, it was pointless to ask, so Ye Yaodong simply stopped asking and stood at the door to listen to the flattery for a while.
There are actually people saying, "I wonder if Ye Yaohong still needs investment. It would be nice to follow him and earn some money to supplement the family expenses..."
The idiot next to him also agreed, "Yeah, he's already a millionaire, so if you follow him, you won't go wrong..."
"Wait until the leader leaves, then we'll go to his house and ask..."
Turns out there's more than one idiot.
"Together... But he's not at home, and I don't know if his wife can make the decision..."
"When it's about to be in the newspapers and on TV, he should come back, right?"
"We'll know in a few days. I heard that the last wave of investors will be able to receive interest in a few days. We can see if we can receive it on time and then decide whether to join..."
All of them have been blinded by money. He estimates that if there is another wave, it will be time to close the net.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't plan to say anything. It's hard to persuade a damned guy with kind words. It's okay to try it once.
It looks like it won’t be long and I won’t make it to the New Year.
This year, the whole village probably has a hard time...
