Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Learning is valuable than anything else.

Reading can make sense and improve one's cultural quality and self-cultivation.

Books are also the spiritual food of human beings. A person's knowledge and knowledge are all learned through reading.

Ye's mother also followed the Women's Federation to various small villages and schools. She knew that many children dropped out of school after reading a few words in the second and third grades, and their parents took them home to do farm work. The teachers came to persuade them, and the parents were reluctant to pay the tuition to continue. Send your child to read.

Whoever takes care of the children, she can't take care of her grandson, but it would be good if she can help subsidize a little, and it will save their eyesight. In order to save some tuition fees, they won't let their children go to school.

Moreover, several sons have bought shops this year, and Dongzi also bought a boat. It is estimated that they are all tight.

They have already paid out the money that should be paid by the gang. They can only subsidize the children's tuition fees, and there is nothing more. The two of them have to save money for the elderly.

Maybe in the future they will toss around again, and the two old ones will have to dig out the coffin book to help. (Key name Ye Yaodong)
The three sisters-in-law were also happy when they heard that the extra New Year's money was reserved for their children's school registration. The second sister-in-law Ye smiled and said, "Mother is so generous, she will be different after she starts working."

Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye’s two families have three children who go to school, and they get five or six yuan when they sign up. This is half of the help, who is not happy?
Mother Ye glanced at her after finishing the red envelope, and said angrily: "When did I get too stingy and didn't go to work, I didn't lose anything to you, what year did I give less money for the new year, what month did I not give you service Okay? You have never been asked to pay for food and drink."

Second Aunt Ye was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said with a smile: "Yes, this is not to say that someone else's grandma didn't think about paying the tuition fee to help share a little. Whoever's child will be raised, no one is as generous as you."

Lin Xiuqing also helped and said, "It's not enough. My parents also paid for it when I bought the store. It's 300 yuan for each person, and it's 900 yuan in total. It's a lot of money."

Auntie Ye also smiled and said, "Yes, after going to work, my mother has more money, and she can help us with big things and small things. Now I even help my children with their studies..."

"Don't think about how much I can help. The two of us who are old don't die and don't earn much money. We both need to retire. You young ones have to work hard, but you can't expect us old ones to do it."

Although Mother Ye is very useful to listen to what they say, she still speaks unforgivingly, a typical knife mouth and bean curd heart.

"Yes, yes, what mother said makes sense, then you and my father will do more while we are still young." Ye Yaodong said happily, and helped her pour the wine by the way.

Mother Ye patted him, "Then you wait until I have sex with your father until half of my foot is in the coffin, and I will be the same age as your grandma before going to retire and enjoy the blessings."

"There's nothing wrong with it. If you really don't do anything, you feel uncomfortable just sitting there, don't you? I'm thinking of you."

Mother Ye gave him a blank look, while the old lady smiled and nodded non-stop.

"Yes, yes, live and work until you are old, move more and work hard, so your bones will not rust."

After she finished speaking, she waved to a few children who were excitedly opening their eyes and closing their eyes to look inside the red envelopes, "Come here, Madam has red envelopes for you too, one for each of you."

The children cheered again. Unexpectedly, the old lady prepared one for them, which was not available before.

"That's one year less. I'm at this age. Some eat and some drink. It's useless to keep the money. One person gives some New Year's money to buy something to eat."

Ye Chenghai was the first to say: "Thank you, Madam, I wish you good health and a long life."

The other children were also shouting behind them.

The room was full of childish chatter one after another, and it seemed extremely lively. Some people who had already had the New Year's Eve dinner even ran to the window to look around when they heard the commotion.

The old lady's wrinkled old face turned into a flower with a smile, she was so happy that she kept saying yes.

A group of children ran outside after receiving the lucky money. Before at home, all the red envelopes received in advance were confiscated by their respective mothers.

Although these two red envelopes will be confiscated if they return home later, at least they can stay in their pockets for a while longer, and they can secretly hide a dime or two, or use them to buy some firecrackers first.

Ye Xiaoxi also stuffed the new year's money given by Ye's mother and the old lady in Ye Xiaoxi's pocket, and the red corner was still exposed, which was extraordinarily eye-catching. Lin Xiuqing didn't stuff all the red envelopes into her pocket right away, anyway, it was for the child, no matter what. I have to go home and put it away for her.

After the children ran away, although the house was not so lively, it was still warm. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was more harmonious than in previous years.

Maybe it's because they don't live together, there's no friction, the fragrance is far away, and the smell is smelly near, it's rare for the whole family to eat together, and everyone's relatives are also fragrant, and the living standard of each family has improved a lot this year.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is generally eaten early in the local area. Basically every household starts to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner after three o’clock in the afternoon.

Ye Yaodong was the same as all the men in the village. After eating, he patted his ass and left to find his friends to play cards.

This time, I waited until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. After offering incense at the old small Mazu Temple, I went to the old house for a midnight snack before returning home.

At this point, the village is still brightly lit. It is rare for the electric lights to be lit until dawn tonight, and so is their house.

He had just locked the door and was about to enter the house when he saw the old lady come out of her room with a pack of red paper in her hand, looking at him a little puzzled.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Come here." The old lady waved to him with a smile, and then sat down at the table.

Ye Yaodong was confused, walked to the table and sat down with a confused face, looked at her, "What are you doing? What's in the red paper? Money?"

It looks similar in shape, and when they celebrate the Chinese New Year, as long as there is any money left at home, they have to wrap it in red paper for storage, which means that it is prosperous and festive, and they hope that the money will roll in in the future.

What is she doing with the money in the middle of the night?
He looked at the boxy red paper bags stacked on the table, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

The old lady touched his arm and smiled kindly, "This is for you, you are doing well now, the money I saved is too little for you, but it can help you a little anyway , although you always say that you have enough money, but with such a big stall spread out, how can you not be short of money."

"Originally, I wanted to give you all my money. You didn't grow up a few years ago, and you were like a child. I can only save more, save a little more, and think about giving it to you when it doesn't work. , at least it can make your life easier for a few days."

"Over the years, I have not been willing to give those children New Year's money. I just want to save more money and leave it to you in the future. I am also happy from the bottom of my heart to see you doing so well this year. I will give you this money sooner. Maybe it will come in handy more.”

"I don't have any skills. I've only saved this much for half my life, but it can relieve your burden anyway. The burden of this family is all on your shoulders..."

The old lady babbled, Ye Yaodong's nose was sour, and he was on the verge of tears.

I also thought of the old lady in her previous life, before she died, she spent all the money and secretly handed him a thick wad of money before closing her eyes.

At the same time, he also understood that the old lady didn't give the junior the New Year's money for all the search in the past few years, so she wanted to save some money for him.

And this year, he generously gave the new year's money to the young ones, because he saw that he made a lot of money this year, and his life was easier, and he didn't need the money from her very much.

No wonder I didn't see her from noon until before dinner, and I found out that she went to the uncle's house after asking, probably to give lucky money to the great-grandchildren over there.

He felt sore and uncomfortable in his heart, adjusted his mood silently, and said slowly: "Don't give it to me, as you said, I earned a lot of money this year, not bad for you, just keep it , Buy something to eat for yourself, or give it to the junior if you like it, buy something for them, if they are happy, you will be happy too."

The old lady pushed the red paper bag towards him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I left a little, and all the coins, otherwise, if the little ones want to eat, they have no money. "

"No, I have money. I earned a lot this year, and I didn't borrow money from outsiders. I don't need your money. I'll tell you when I'm really short of money."

"Hold it, don't care if you are short of money or not, it will be given to you anyway. You bought me this and that this year, and you spent a lot of money. I am already old, and I keep the money in my hand." It's useless here, I can't make money at my age, and I can't save much. I give it sooner or later, it's all for you, and now I can help you anyway, take it!"

The old lady stuffed the bundle of red paper into his hand, and still held his hand to prevent him from pushing it away.

"You just hold it. If you don't take it, I don't feel at ease. Only if you take it, can I feel at ease, so as not to worry about being gnawed by mice when you put it there."

Ye Yaodong smiled, "This new house has only been built for a year, so where are the mice?"

"I said there is one, you keep it. Also, you can take half of it out and hide it, and then give the other half to Ah Qing?" She said in a low voice for the last half of the sentence, for fear of being caught by Ah Qing in the room. Qing heard it.

Ye Yaodong couldn't hold back anymore, he almost laughed out loud.

Is the old lady teaching him to hide his private money?
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, what I said is true, you collect some of it yourself, and give the rest to Ah Qing, it's okay to keep a little less... In this way, you don't have to keep asking her for money..."

"You saw more than two yuan left over from buying pork that I kept privately a few days ago, so you did it on a whim?"

"Hehe, you are a big man without money in your pocket. You can hide it and put a little less in your pocket so as not to lose it. When you come back, I didn't give it to Ah Qing directly. I just wanted you to keep some for yourself."
