When Wang Guoxin woke up early in the morning to look for his son in Ye Family, he was told by Ye Wenbo that his eldest son went to Phoenix-tail Mountain with Ye Zi to train their bodies. They even said that they had been training since the winter vacation, and not even a day had passed.
Wang Guoxin silently wiped his face. This was completely different from what he remembered about his son. His eldest son could still get up so early to exercise after a vacation? Before yesterday, he would have thought others were joking. Wasn't his son usually lazy to sleep?
"Who did you look for this morning? Your sister and brother-in-law are coming over later. " Grandpa Wang saw his son just came back and asked.
"I went to find Jie, but I couldn't find him. How come Sis and Brother-in-law are here so early this year?" Weren't they only here in the first two years of the new year? " Wang Guoxin asked curiously.
"Jie will definitely go to the mountain with Zi to exercise early in the morning. Your sister and brother-in-law came early this year because Jie recommended a job to Xiaoqi. Your brother-in-law remembers this good job of Jie." Look at how capable he, eldest grandson, is, and who cares about him.
"Jie recommended work for Xiaoqi?" Wang Guoxin almost doubted his own ears. Luo Fengjuan, who had just walked out of the room, was also stunned for a moment. She looked over in surprise. Wang Shujie was still a kid who had yet to reach adulthood, what kind of job could he introduce to others?
"Of course, it's the county's shopping mall's sales clerk. He's been working there for over half a month and already earned 1500 yuan by the end of the year. Alright, Jie will be back in a while. If you have anything to do, go take care of it." Grandpa Wang waved and walked out with his hands behind his back, humming a tune.
Luo Fengjuan, who was standing behind him, gasped in surprise. How could he earn so much money just by selling clothes? If selling clothes could earn her so much money, she would have gone to the market a long time ago to sell clothes. She would have earned 1,500 yuan a month, but not 3,000 yuan a month! How could he, Wang Shujie, an adult, have such a relationship?
"Daddy couldn't have gotten it wrong, right?"
Wang Guoxin was also suspicious, but after what happened yesterday, he wouldn't bite his eldest son to death: "Whether our dad is mistaken or not, we'll know when sister and brother-in-law come over. Maybe Jie's friends outside have connections and know how to take care of their relatives, that means Jie is still a good person."
Luo Fengjuan nearly bit her teeth into pieces. She was afraid of the rebound, so after so many years of being ignored by men, could all these years of effort have gone to waste? How could he, a village boy, compare with his well-bred son?
Regardless if the couple believed it or not, after the training on the mountain, Wang Shujie still stayed at Ye Family and ate breakfast with them. Only then did he reluctantly return home.
Seeing eldest grandson come back, Grandma Wang smiled to the point that she couldn't even see his teeth. She went to his side and asked him how he slept last night and if he wanted to eat anything.
Wang Guoxin wanted to say something to his son, but it was obvious that his son was unwilling to pay attention to him, which made Wang Guoxin a bit embarrassed. In the past, he would have taught his son a lesson regardless of what his son was thinking about.
It was snowing all night, and by the time the sun rose, it had gradually stopped. The sound of firecrackers was unceasing in the village, and from time to time, the sounds of villagers greeting each other could be heard. Every household opened their doors wide and prepared melon seeds for the morning. The moment a child arrived, he would grab a handful of candies and stuff them into their prepared pockets. Those who were close to him even prepared red packets.
Ye Zi had stopped participating in this seemingly childish New Year event long ago, and was waiting for the kids at home instead. After they got their hands on each other, they would distribute dried fruits and food, and naturally, he had prepared a lot of red packets as well. When he was young, he got a lot of red packets from other people, so now it was his turn to give out money.
As soon as he saw the kids off, he came to the door and saw that it was Yan Qi's family.
Wang Aizhen liked Ye Zi as soon as she saw him, so she took out a red packet and handed it over. Ye Zi quickly refused, but was rebuked by Wang Aizhen: "This is for you, you don't even have a family. When you become a family one day, you won't give it to me."
Ye Zi could only embarrassedly accept the red packet. The Yan family of four followed Ye Wenbo, who came out from the back, for a whole year before finally walking towards Wang Family. Liu Tie shook the red packet in his hands towards his grandfather, and Ye Wenbo was beaming merrily. In the morning, he and Wang Shujie still found a red packet under the pillow. They didn't know when their grandpa put it in.
On the first day of the new year, he had to go to the store to set off firecrackers, which meant that business would flourish throughout the year. On the fifth day of the new year, he had to do even more, because only after welcoming the God of Fortune into the restaurant would he be able to make a fortune.
The two discussed for a while before coming together to form a lucky number: 188. The tone was about to be released.
"Ye-zi, just stay at home with Grandpa Ye. It's not easy to walk on the road outside after the snow. Elder Sister Sun said that she has nothing to do for today, so she was very free during the Spring Festival."
"Alright, be careful on your way." Ye Zi had originally planned to bring Grandfather to the county city for a stroll. However, because it was snowing at night, he had no choice but to give up. Wang Shujie's arrangements happened to suit his wishes, so he wasn't polite.
After saying that to his grandfather, Ye Wenbo smiled and said, "Grandpa's arms are old and his legs are old. What are you strolling around for? Why are you staying at home with me? Oh right, didn't I hear you talk about computers before?" Or go and bring one back. " He was old and didn't understand these things, but from what Zi said, this computer was quite important.
"Grandfather, there's no need to worry. The computer can't get back to the internet, so there's no use for it. Let's talk about it later." Ye Zi smiled as he saw the two little guys, Qiuqiu and wolf cub, stomp on the snow and leave footprints on the ground. Then, they curled up next to the brazier, unwilling to move at all.
The Wu couple had no choice but to believe that Wang Shujie was the one who introduced their niece's work, and he also worked there himself, of course this was already decided beforehand. Besides the two elders, only Yan Qi and her mother knew the truth, and Wang Aizhen secretly lamented that she didn't love this nephew of hers for nothing, and in the end, it was the nephew who helped her daughter.
Wang Aizhen had a very good relationship with her sister-in-law. She had a lot of things to say to her sister-in-law, but the relationship between her and Guoxin was very ordinary. Wang Aizhen was from the countryside, and had not seen much of the world, but she was not stupid.
"Mom, everyone in our village has heard that there is a big boss with a mountain wrapped in our Taoyuan Village, isn't it the same as the one in Eastbay Town? "Why is Uncle Ye in charge of everything?"
Grandma Wang narrowed her eyes and said, "It's not that big boss. The big boss came to Uncle Ye's house before and is friends with Zi. Jie also met with Jie. Your big boss only believes in you and Zi." Actually, she also knew that whatever Big Boss was just an excuse, he was actually just Ye Family's grandfather and grandson duo. However, the origin of the money was not good for others to mutter about, lest some people get jealous and come knocking on their door. Grandma Wang still knew the seriousness of the matter, so she did not even mention this matter to her daughter.
"What big boss?" Wang Guoxin and Luo Fengjuan perked up their ears.
"I heard that he's quite a spirited young man. He drove a car to our Taoyuan Village last year. Oh yeah, he even invested in the county. We, Jie, can just bask in Zi's glory." Grandma Wang said happily.
Yan Qi believed that after doing this in the mall for so many days, how could she not know how hard it was to stay behind the counter? Even Manager Yu took care of their store, otherwise, how could Zi and Jie, the two students, be in such a good position?
Ye Wenbo and Ye Zi also walked out of their home in the village and chatted with their old neighbors. Ye Wenbo was wearing his new clothes and received a burst of admiration and praise. He also said that Ye Zi was sensible and filial, making Ye Zi's face turn red.
During this period of time, there were also people asking about the contracting and hiring of people by Ye Wenbo. A few years ago, he spread the news that some young workers outside the city would be hired for a long time after they came back and heard the old man's suggestion. They all wanted to stay, not just a few people could take care of that in a short period of time.
"When we can start work in the first month of the new year, we have to ask someone to tidy up for us. At that time, we will need the help of the villagers, and I am an old man who can do as much as he wants. Zi also needs to go to school, and I told Old Lin a few years ago that if he wants to help, we can't get help from him for nothing."
"Yes, Old Ye told me a year ago that it would definitely be hard to complete work for 30 yuan a day. However, the salary offered is not low either. "Old Ye can't come by himself at home, so I'll leave the food." Village Chief Lin agreed, "That's why I want to speak the truth with my countrymen. Seeing that Old Ye gave me such a high salary, I can't take someone who is lazy and unwilling to work hard."
"It's just a small matter. Aren't we all close to the door? There's no need to waste time on such small matters."
"Who would be willing to work with someone like him just for money? Even if others were to see it, they would not be able to do so."
"Are we such unrealistic people? Village Head, do you think that I should register my name now? "
"Hey, aren't you too cunning? No, Old Lin, even though I'm not young, I can't even compare to those youngsters in the field. Can I tell you my name?" A man in his fifties looked eagerly at Village Chief Lin.
"Can you go up the mountain with your body? "Don't fall when the time comes, let me do it instead. Village Head, I am young and strong too."
"..."
Village Chief Lin stared at Ye Wenbo and could only turn his head to call out his son, Lin Haiming. He wanted him to take out a notebook and write it down for anyone who wanted to work.
Someone registered and went back to call for help. Regardless of whether or not they could choose a candidate, they would have to report their name first. If they could take turns with two people in their family, they could earn more money in two months than they could in a year. There were also quite a few people who stayed behind to discuss things, read about the situation outside from the television and newspapers, and especially the people who went out to work and heard more about the channels.
Right now, the road outside was being repaired, and Taoyuan Village was no longer a closed off situation in the past. It was a good time to take care of the mountain, and there was no lack of people who were interested, even if they couldn't take out an entire mountain, but if a few families with a good relationship contracted together, then there was still a way out.
"Don't we need to plant flowers in Dongwan Town? I heard that there's a wholesale market that specializes in selling flowers in the county. Our village can also plant flowers, but we don't need to find our own way out of it."
"I can grow any kind of food or vegetables, but who would plant a flower?" That thing is very expensive. "
"Can we go to Eastbay and ask around? Village Chief Lin, what do you think of this idea of ours? We can learn from other villages. "
old village head said calmly: "It's not urgent, the boss has already exposed himself. Who wants to grow flowers and herbs in the spring, they will send people over to teach technology, but if they want to grow herbs, they have to sign a contract with the company, so they can't do it themselves. Otherwise, the boss won't accept them, so you have to find a way to sell it yourself and might even get into a lawsuit."
"Really?!" But what a pleasant surprise for the big guy.
"How can this be fake? "If you don't believe me, ask Old Ye and Zi. The big boss of that company is from Bao Shan, who lives in our village."
Ye Wenbo and Ye Zi were immediately surrounded by the villagers. After dealing with them, their foreheads started to sweat from the cold weather.
old village head's grandson ran back with a head full of sweat: "Grandpa, quickly go see Goddess, Goddess is jumping on a God to chase a ghost." This little kid called Little Light's big name, Lin Guang, saw Ye Zi with his sharp eyes and came up to grab his hand to pull him out, "Big brother Zi, let's go quickly. We won't be able to squeeze in if we're late."
Ye Wenbo frowned and said to his grandson, "Zi, you go take a look. If you have anything to say, come back and tell grandpa."
"Alright, Little Light, slow down. Don't fall." Ye Zi turned his head and said as he walked along with Little Light's strength.
He and Bao Lili didn't manage to protect their first child. When he was pregnant with his second child, Lin Haiming got infected with the habit of gambling and it was useless even if his family beat him up. He was angry that Bao Lili's second child was born prematurely, so he gave his son a simple name and ignored her man for a long time.
Seeing that his second son almost disappeared again, Lin Haiming calmed down. Granny Lin felt that her little grandson's name was unlucky and wanted to change, but old village head decided that there was no need to change it. He could keep it so that his father could wake him up, so that he wouldn't forget the mistakes he made a few days later and let his son remind him for the rest of his life.
Ye Zi knew that Little Light's parents had a very good relationship with each other. If it wasn't because Little Light's relationship was too good, then Little Light's mom wouldn't be that angry.
Gambling was something that was common in the countryside. When people were busy with other things, they would often touch two cards, and just touching the cards wasn't very fun. Thus, the younger ones would have a few more cards to play, and the longer the time passed, the more addicted they would become. They would always want to make a fortune at the card table, and in the end, even the land in their homes would not grow anymore.
In the past, Bao Lili played chess at the entrance of the canteen, so she would bet on it, and it didn't have anything to do with other villages. But ever since Lin Haiming's situation, Bao Lili no longer allowed those who played cards to bring money home to play, and she had to play with money. She couldn't see clearly, and in any case, she couldn't see it, so this made Taoyuan Village's atmosphere much better than other villages.
Arriving at his uncle's house, he saw that the door had not been shoveled in by the snow and had been trampled into a mess by the people coming and going. He had heard others mention it before, on New Year's Eve and in the early morning, both families were still fighting. If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Dong and Su Ergou were really bad, the affected neighbors would have already knocked on his door.
"Make way! Everyone, make way! Carry him in!"
"Who's the one being carried?"
Ye Zi held onto Little Light to prevent him from being stepped on by others. Then, he tiptoed to look in the middle and pricked up his ears to listen to what others were saying.
"Isn't it Su Ergou? Didn't we carry him back before? Now that the Goddess is here, we have to bring him back." "Aunt Su wanted to bring the Goddess back to the Su Family, but the Goddess said that Ye Family is the place where the incident occurred, so the method must be done at the place where the incident occurred, or else the results wouldn't be too good. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare disobey the Goddess's words and would have to carry the person over again, and it's Wang Guilann who is the laughing stock."
The people carried in, and the people who came to watch the commotion also rushed in. Ye Zi carried Little Light and brought him in. Little Light was so happy that he clapped.
When they squeezed into the crowd and saw the scene inside, Ye Zi almost laughed out loud. At the place where Ye Dong and Su Ergou fell down, a incense table was set up, a brazier was set ablaze in front of them, a middle-aged woman in her forties sat cross-legged on a cushion in front, her eyes were closed, and her lips kept moving as if she was reciting something.
"Big brother Zi, that's the Goddess." Little Light stuck to Ye Zi's ear and pointed at the woman in the middle with his little fat finger.
(There are really a lot of gambling in the countryside. I can't understand why all the hard work I spend all year round on gambling tables has gone to waste.)
