As a result, as soon as he went out and hadn't even finished stretching, he saw Secretary Chen and his family coming to visit.
"Ah? How come Secretary Chen has time to come to our house? Come on, come in and sit down." After Ye Yaodong asked them to sit down, he shouted, "Dad, Secretary Chen is here."
He didn't know whether his father was in the room or at the back door, but he just had to shout.
Ye's father also heard his shouting, and hurriedly came in from the backyard, pulling up his pants, without even tying his belt.
"Oh, Secretary Chen is here, come and sit down, we can have a drink together, and we have some snacks to go with the wine."
He didn't feel embarrassed and naturally and happily invited others to sit down and drink together. Ye Yaodong, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know if his father had washed his hands
I rushed into the house in such a hurry...
Secretary Chen said with a smile: "No, no, I have already cooked the meal at home. I just came here to thank Dongzi. If he hadn't reached out in time, my eldest grandson might have died."
As he said this, he took the basket from his wife's hand and lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing two packs of Huazi, two bottles of Moutai, two canned food, and two red paper packages of our local famous noodle cakes.
This was already the most expensive gift they had at the moment. A bottle of Moutai cost more than ten yuan. The Ye family members in the main room were stunned when they saw it.
Father Ye's eyes widened. "You...what are you doing? I'm just helping you out. Hurry up and take it back. These are worth a lot of money. Why are you spending so much money? Hurry up and return them."
Ye Yaodong was also surprised. He didn’t expect Secretary Chen to be so generous. He originally just wanted to try to see if he could save the life. After all, it’s a life, right
"It's my duty, Old Ye. Please don't push me. My son and his wife came back today, and I realized how dangerous my eldest grandson was. He almost died."
"Then there's no need for such a big gift. We are all from the same village. Isn't it normal for us to help each other? Dongzi didn't do anything wrong. It's just that your child is blessed with a good life and shouldn't die."
"No, the doctor said that it was fortunate that Dongzi gave him emergency treatment, otherwise Abin wouldn't have made it to the hospital and he would have died by then. You must accept these things, as this is also a small token of our appreciation."
"No, no, no, how can we accept such a big gift? Take it back quickly. It's only natural for us to help our fellow villagers when they see it. There's no need to give such a huge gift."
Mr. Ye said he would not accept anything, not because he was not tempted, but because he felt it was his duty to help, and how could he have the nerve to accept so many valuable things.
"Oh, these things are not worth a child's life, please take them."
"That's right, take it, take it, don't push it back..."
“This is a little token of our appreciation…”
"I really can't accept it..."
"Take it back quickly..."
The two families were pushing and shoving each other, and if they weren't all smiling, someone who didn't know the situation might have thought they were going to fight.
Ye Yaodong felt helpless seeing this, this was how Chinese people were when giving gifts, they liked to push the gift back and forth, or say some false words, as if they would lose face if they just accepted the gift.
He leaned against the wall in the corner and watched them interacting with each other. He didn't care anyway. It was just a convenient thing to do. It was up to his parents to decide whether to accept it or not.
In the end, Ye's father and mother couldn't refuse and accepted it with a smile on their faces...
"Is the child okay?" he asked when he had a chance.
"It's okay. I brought it back today. Just take care of it at home for a few days."
Ye's mother said, "The child must be frightened. Go to the drugstore and buy him some pearl powder to calm him down."
"Yes, I give it to him as soon as he comes back, and give him a little more before he goes to bed at night." The speaker was Secretary Chen's wife.
Mother Ye wiped her hands on her apron and said embarrassedly: "Well... let's all sit down and eat. The food is ready, but there's nothing good. I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't leave any good food for you..."
"No, no, we are here to express our gratitude, not to eat. No one has enough food, how can I bring my whole family here to eat? You eat, you eat..."
As soon as Secretary Chen entered the door, he saw a big pot of shredded sweet potato rice in the earthen stove. They were all building a house and were reluctant to eat white rice. How could he let his family sit down
"It's okay. We have enough rice at home. I'll just cook another pot later..."
"No, we'll go home and eat later. The food is already cooked at home. I wanted to come over in the morning, but I saw that you were either building a house or out to sea, and no one was home, so I waited until now, when it's time for dinner, to come over."
Otherwise, who would visit at mealtime? Isn't this just a way to get a free meal? Who doesn't value food? I don't even have enough food at home.
At this time, many visitors will not stay for dinner, or they will bring their own food.
Secretary Lin thought about it and felt that he needed to remind them, "Also, there is something I want to remind you of. This afternoon, Lin Ji from the village went to the commune and said that his relative wanted to buy your homestead, but I stopped him. You should pay attention."
"Ah? There are so many vacant lots in the village, why did you choose my house?" Ye's father was surprised.
Mother Ye also suddenly realized and said, "No wonder I saw Lin Ji bringing a few people around our homestead this morning."
"Everyone in the village has been saying that your new house has good feng shui these past two days, so your family has had big purchases one after another..."
"ah?"
Everyone was shocked, just because of this unfounded Feng Shui
Ye Yaodong was speechless. This was just a casual remark from him...
If the feng shui of that piece of land was good, why did he live in poverty all his life in his previous life? Is this all based on fate
"Isn't this possible? Just because there are some random rumors, someone wants to buy our land?"
The Ye family members were a little bit unbelievable.
Ye's mother immediately said, "I saw an old man among them mumbling something mysterious this morning. So he is a feng shui master?"
"Your family has certainly been in the spotlight lately."
"Which relative of Linji is he? Where is he from?" Ye Yaodong asked.
Lin Ji's family was very rich in their previous life. I heard that they had houses everywhere in the city and the provincial capital. They didn't say they wanted to buy their homestead. He flapped his butterfly wings...
"I'm not sure about that. He didn't tell me. He also wanted to ask me if I had the certificate. If not, he would transfer the land to him. I said I had already issued the foundation certificate to you, and the Qian Village Committee had received the registration and reported it, so he could change the land."
"That's good. We have laid the foundation stones and have started building the house. How can we sell it to him?" Ye's father frowned. The house has already started to be built, but a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared.
"I don't know if he has given up or not, and I don't know what relatives he has. It happened in our village just a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to spread so quickly. Anyway, you just need to pay attention to it. You have paid the money and obtained the certificates. The land is already yours, and no one else can seize it by force."
"Okay, thank you for letting me know."
Secretary Chen followed up by saying, "Then you guys can eat first, we won't disturb you."
"Stay and have a couple of drinks. We have some rice wine at home..."
"No, no, no, we have to go back to eat..."
