Chapter 1054: Attacked by a swarm of sharks (10,000 words, monthly vote +27)

During dinner, Mother Ye happily told others about Pei's father's gossip. Anyway, she had heard it from beginning to end, but she spoke with gusto, her tone rose and fell, and it felt like she had seen it with her own eyes.

There is no difference.

Father Ye ate quietly. He only listened with his ears open and did not express an opinion during the whole process. After listening, he said: "It's better to make a decision earlier. There is also a woman at home to help with arrangements. In the future, you don't have to expect your children to take care of you when you get old."

People dislike it.”

Lin Xiuqing was surprised when she heard, "That family is so shameless. They even thought about carrying the person back. They must have been watching for a long time, waiting for Uncle Pei to leave alone."

The old lady also rarely expressed her opinion, "If you tell me, it will really make people laugh to death. If you can do this, you will lose your reputation."

"There is no reputation in the first place. As long as you can achieve your goal, you will earn it." Ye Yaodong also said.

"You go to their house after dinner and ask by the way if things are as everyone said."

"Who is like this? What kind of words are you talking about, and you come to your door to ask?"

Ye Yaodong saw his father getting angry and quickly explained, "I want to ask when Uncle Pei will go to sea? The ship can come back tomorrow evening, and we can go out tomorrow evening at the earliest. I originally planned to talk and discuss it after dinner.

.”

"That's more or less the same. By the way, I can ask a few questions. Anyway, you two have a good relationship. But why hasn't the boat been repaired yet? It still needs to be tomorrow evening."

"Didn't it rain in the past two days? It's been delayed. Anyway, we can go and drive back tomorrow. It won't be missed by a day or two."

"Then go call some boatmen tomorrow and let them prepare to go out to sea at night."

"Let me ask first. How is the tomb construction going? It was sunny for most of the previous flood season, so the progress should be pretty fast, right?"

Father Ye did not go to the shipyard today, but went to the mountain again to see the progress of the tomb repair.

"Well, it's half done. Originally, it would be a little slower to cut the stone, but if it's sunny for a few more days, it will be faster.

"As soon as possible."

Ye Yaodong went to A Guang's house after dinner. As soon as he finished eating, he stopped riding his bicycle and wandered slowly alone.

The weather is getting hotter, and after dinner, many people can be seen in the village. They are still talking about squid, but there are also discussions about going out to sea at night.

He also walked and chatted with people. By the time the chat reached A Guang's house, it was already dark an hour later.

This was also something he did intentionally to prevent A Guang from finishing his meal, and he also understood why his mother sometimes had to walk two hours back and forth just to have a meal.

When he arrived, Aguang was playing with his child at the door. Reflected by the lights in the room, he could see a middle-aged woman wearing a red flower dress busying around the stove.

When A Guang saw him, he immediately said hello, "There is a stool at the door. Bring it over and sit on it."

When Ye Yaodong went to move the stool to the door, he also took a look inside through the window. After confirming that it was Aunt Ma, he immediately moved the stool to sit next to A Guang, and then whispered and gossiped about him.

"Are we a family?"

"Um."

"It's quite straightforward this time. It seemed like it was dragging on before, and I couldn't decide for a long time."

"That's because I'm busy and I don't have a sense of crisis, so I'm not in such a hurry. The weather has been bad these past few days and I've been busy at home, so my dad just took care of things first."

"So your father was really almost carried home by them the day before yesterday?"

Aguang looked helpless, "Does the whole village know?"

"Absolutely, I guess. Isn't this quite honorable? Speaking of which, it's quite honorable to be your father."

He shook his head and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen my dad so popular. When we talked about it during dinner, he did feel quite glorious."

"Why did you suddenly show up to save your father?"

"Didn't I watch the rain stop for a while? I was already busy with things during the flood season, so I wanted to go to the city as early as possible before it rained. Otherwise, who knows how long it would rain intermittently, and I had already been at home for most of it.

It’s been a month, and I can’t sit still, so I thought I’d go find you and see if I could give him a ride.”

"So we just happened to meet him? Even God can't bear to see it. He is not willing to let your father become their family's son-in-law."

"Stop talking nonsense, this matter is over here. My father is married to Aunt Ma anyway, and the news was spread in the afternoon. Now they can only put away their crooked ideas and put them in the hands of others."

Ye Yaodong looked around again. Seeing that the lights in the next room were all on, he asked more, "Where are your new brothers and sisters?"

"After dinner, we went back to our respective homes. My father and aunt have already discussed it. My aunt will move in with my father, and her three unmarried children will stay at their own homes. Except for eating, we will come over to eat together.

, there is no difference in daily life, and it saves them from feeling uncomfortable. After all, they are already so old, they are no longer ignorant children, and they already have a house at home."

"Then it's just as imagined before."

"Well, this is the best."

"Do you want a bride price?"

"My aunt said no. She said that she was already old and not a young girl. We lived together and had each other's company. We didn't need to give any gifts to avoid making people laugh. But my father thought that she had three more

An unmarried child needs some money on hand, so she asked me and gave her 500 yuan."

"That's right. Since we live together, she has to take care of her children."

Even 500 yuan is really a lot of money. A normal first wedding costs less than 500 yuan.

The dowry given to Sister Aguang was worth almost five to six hundred yuan. At that time, people in the village publicized it, saying that his sister was a golden pimple and whoever married her would be lucky.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't I mean that I'm going to wait for the things at hand to be finished and get your eldest sister married as soon as possible to avoid any bad words coming out again? Aunt Ma should also be helping to arrange it now, right?"

?She has also married two daughters and has experience."

A Guang's face suddenly darkened, "I got angry when I talked about this. My father went to the house this morning to talk about it. He originally said everything was fine. He decided to get married soon. After all, my sister is not young anymore.

The old woman suddenly said that she wanted to find a stable woman to come and check it out. My father was so angry that they almost overturned the table, and then the matter was left undecided."

After saying that, he sighed and looked like he had a headache.

"What do you mean this is? I'm so angry that I've had so many twists and turns. My father is a grown man and he can't argue with an old woman, but I feel bad when I think about it."

"I don't know what to say now. Marry them. I feel aggrieved. If their family members are brought out in the future, their faces will be disgraceful. Don't marry. One of them is already a loser. The second one will lose their reputation."

It’s even worse, she’s already 23 after the Chinese New Year, and my little sister is already 20, so I can’t afford to delay it any longer.”

"It's not her fault in the first place. She obviously didn't do anything, but if she retreats one after another, then yes, she has to be singled out for her fault."

After hearing this, Ye Yaodong also felt that this matter was difficult to handle. The family did not sit down and raise the price, did not hesitate, and did not say anything. However, there was an old woman who couldn't stand it, and it was really embarrassing.

If you were married and were constantly being talked about, slandered, and teased about this matter, then your life would be miserable.

"Then let's leave it alone for now?"

"My father doesn't want to come and talk to me anymore. My eldest sister is also angry and said she won't get married, so I just stay there for now. I'll wait until their family comes to talk to me. Let's see, it's not a business deal.

, how can a woman come to my door again and again and rush to say that she wants to get married?"

"That's true. If it doesn't work out, then don't get married. Is it true that you can't get married? It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but why don't you worry about not finding a two-legged man? You can always find a good one, right?"

"This is so depressing. My father has been making a bad face today. If it hadn't been for the agreement that the two families would have dinner together today, even if it was confirmed, Aunt Ma would have moved everything in at the right time this morning, and she might have to follow Huang.

Fortunately, she knew the situation and didn't care about my dad's bad face all day long."

"It means that the person who spoke was an old woman, and it was your father who came to the door. If your mother came to the door and listened, she would not be able to slap her ears twice."

"Who said it wasn't?" Aguang cursed and cursed for a while before stopping.

Ye Yaodong also remembered what he wanted to say and told him.

"Then you have to ask my dad. Anyway, you can help me make arrangements. I will take your tractor to the city tomorrow morning. I don't have anything to do at home, so I will go call my dad for you."

Father Pei has no objection to going to sea tomorrow night, and he has indeed rested at home for many days. Getting married today will not affect his going to sea tomorrow night at all.

After he made an agreement with Pei's father, he went back first so as not to disturb other people's bridal chamber.

I just learned about the situation from Aguang, and I understand it pretty much. I can give my mother an explanation when I go back and ask.

He won't say much about Sister Aguang's matter. After all, it is not a glorious thing. If it is really spread, it will probably be spread in a different way, which will bring trouble to others' reputation.

Early the next morning, Ye's mother, at the urging of Sister-in-law Ye, went to show Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua the sailing date, but the date was not so coincidental.

Ye Yaopeng's will be eight days later, and Ye Yaohua's will be on the 30th of the end of the month. They are on the right track. They can only have the factory rush to meet this time. If they can't catch up, they can only watch it again. The two brothers are only one week behind.

Sister-in-law Ye complained a little about this day, "Isn't it two days early?"

"No, the time between you two is just right. Your father went to sea with Dongzi at night, and when he came back, he happened to see the boss's ship coming back."

"All right."

"Also, since you have a new ship, the old one is no longer needed. Just return it to your father when the time comes."

"Ah? Give it back to dad? Is dad free to open it?"

"Let's rent it. It just so happens that Dongzi has some people on hand to help us collect the goods. This ship was originally left by your father. It will be just right for us to provide for our old age in the future."

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye looked at each other.

"Shall we wait until A Peng and A Hua come back in the evening?"

"Your father said that the two brothers made an agreement with him last year. When the boat they ordered arrives, they will return the old boat to him and support him in his old age. Anyway, when I gave the boat to you last year, I didn't charge any more money from you.

I'll charge you rent again. Now you have a boat anyway. It doesn't matter to you whether you have an old boat or not, but it's different for us two. We will rely on this to support our retirement in the future."

Ye's mother spoke confidently, and she said everything in advance that Ye's father was embarrassed to say.
