Before Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing received the red envelopes, they saw Ye Xiaoxi kneeling down next to them.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Ye Yaodong and his wife were also stunned.
Ye Xiaoxi tilted her head and looked at this and that, wondering why everyone was looking at her.
Her parents knelt down and got red envelopes, so she thought, she should kneel down too.
After thinking about what they just said, she also said: "Godfather, godmother... uh..."
After checking that she didn't have a bowl in her hand, she said cleverly: "Happy New Year! Congratulations on getting rich!"
Everyone burst into laughter instantly.
Mother Ye originally reacted and wanted to pull her up, but when she heard this, she laughed and leaned forward and backward.
"Haha...this girl knelt down because she knew she would get a red envelope if she knelt down."
"So clever...hahahaha..."
"Too smart..."
Children's words are unbridled, not to mention that she is such a young child. She is innocent and doesn't understand anything. All her actions are honest and cute.
If it were another child, Ye Chenghu, it would be embarrassing. Everyone would think that the child is uneducated, not polite, and that the adults have not taught him well.
There were mistakes and mistakes. Ye Xiaoxi's behavior directly made the original atmosphere more relaxed and lively. All the adults present burst into laughter.
However, she looked confused and didn't know what everyone was laughing at.
But since everyone was smiling and not angry, it meant that she had done nothing wrong, so she also laughed happily.
Director Chen and his wife laughed particularly heartily, "Little girl, you called me wrong, you should call me grandpa, but the rest is correct. Come on, I can't let you kneel in vain, and I have your red envelope."
After saying that, he took out several red envelopes from his pocket, which were relatively small, and handed one to her.
Jin Yuzhi also took out several red envelopes from her pocket, smiled, took one and dangled it in front of her, "Call me grandma."
Her eyes lit up and she shouted loudly, "Fuck grandma."
"Good boy, it's just like what you said. I look like I'm blessed, smart and cute."
Ye Xiaoxi happily took the red envelope, thought for a moment and then added loudly to Director Chen, "Grandpa."
"Good boy, this girl is so smart, haha, get up quickly."
Ye Xiaoxi held the red envelope and smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, but she turned around and immediately presented the red envelope with both hands, "Mom, here it is, I will drop it, please help me put it away."
Director Chen smiled and said: "This girl is really sensible. She even knows how to give the red envelope to her mother to keep it. Like my little granddaughter, she even coaxed and deceived her tightly in the past two days, but she wouldn't give it to her.
, I can only put it away secretly for her when she is sleeping."
"Yes, this child is so good."
Lin Xiuqing was also smiling, "I lost a red envelope a few days ago. I was scared, so I'm so sensible now."
Ye Yaodong listened helplessly and shook his head. How could he not know what happened to the red envelope? He was just bullying a child who was young, and he could also cheat.
Director Chen smiled and searched among the surrounding crowd again, "Don't you have two sons? Come on, everyone has a share. If you are celebrating the New Year, give them a red envelope for good luck."
Ye Chenghu was so excited that he immediately knelt down and shouted loudly: "Happy New Year, grandpa and grandma, may everything go well."
Ye Chengyang also knelt down and shouted.
When they saw Ye Xiaoxi kneeling down to receive two red envelopes, they were already ready to make a move. If they hadn't been slapped and beaten, they would have knelt down too.
Fortunately, they are there!
The two of them were very excited after receiving two red envelopes each.
Mother Ye smiled and said polite words, "The leader is too polite. Why should I give so many red envelopes? These little ones are so drunk when they see the red envelopes..."
"I definitely want it. It's Chinese New Year. No matter whether the marriage can happen or not, if you come to your door, you won't be left with a small red envelope."
Father Ye also said: "You're too polite, we should be the ones who come..."
"It's not that particular. It's just that the children at home want to come over and have a look at Adong's family. They also want to get to know each other first. They are not at home at other times, so they can only take advantage of this time. During the Chinese New Year, every family also has to visit relatives.
I’m busy too, so I just took the opportunity to get things done together today.”
"Hey, okay, the food is already being prepared. You guys have a rest first and let Dongzi and the village chief accompany you to look around again."
"Okay, let's go to Thean Hou Temple. We didn't go in just now. Everyone went to burn incense together. They're all here. The Thean Hou Temple in your village is the largest one along the coast."
"Yes, thanks to the blessing of the leaders, the incense has been very popular every morning and evening recently. People come from everywhere to offer incense. You can also go to offer incense and pay your respects."
"Well, that's what I thought."
A large group of people cheering in the room went out again in a lively manner.
Ye Mu also stayed this time and prepared lunch together.
Lin Xiuqing caught her two sons who were about to run away, one with each hand, and grabbed their clothes.
"You two, stop here and show me the red envelope."
At the same time, they both took the red envelope and hid it behind their backs, looking at her warily, "No, this is for us."
"Show me how much it is so I can give you a gift later. Who wants yours?"
"Really? You won't confiscate it?"
Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything. She stepped forward and grabbed the red envelopes from their hands, opened them and took a look.
It's two dollars per person.
Sister-in-law Ye was surprised, "Oh, so many, so generous? Two yuan per red envelope for each child? That's twelve yuan for three children? Isn't that a lot?"
Sister-in-law Ye was envious and said, "This leader is so generous. He gives one to each of the couple. How much do you and A Dong have?"
"It should be at least 10 yuan, right?" Ye Mu also asked curiously.
"Our weddings, weddings, and favors cost five or ten yuan, so if the leader takes action, it must not be less than ten yuan, right?"
Lin Xiuqing saw that the people in front of her had left the yard, and she opened the red envelope and took a look. It was five new big unity cards.
"Fifty dollars?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's so generous. I'll give you more than 100 yuan if you recognize anyone as your godmother. If you recognize a few more, you'll get rich." Sister-in-law Ye was so sad.
"Each of us has one, Ah Qing has one, and Dongzi has one too. The two of them add up to 100 yuan."
Mother Ye said: "It's worth three months of my salary. He is indeed a leader, so generous. If I add a little more, I can get a wife back."
Ye Chenghu said cautiously: "Mom, you already have so many, can you return the red envelope to me?"
Lin Xiuqing looked at her two children and returned the red envelope to them both as promised.
"You're not allowed to take it out. Take it back to your room and put it back in your piggy bank. If it falls, you'll have to give it to me during the Chinese New Year."
The two of them happily agreed in unison, "I know, Mom."
She looked at Ye Xiaoxi who was looking up with envy, touched her pocket, and took out another 5 cents to comfort her.
"Both brothers don't have this money. Mom secretly gave it to you. Only you have it. Keep it and don't throw it away."
Ye Xiaoxi was very happy and felt that she was favored, "Yeah, I won't tell them."
Everyone was happy, both adults and children were satisfied.
After sending the children out to play, the adults gathered around to cook and discuss the matter of getting married.
Everyone envied Ye Yaodong for having an extra supporter and a relative. This was true under the witness of everyone.
"It looks like Dongzi will be very successful in the future. Even the village chief and others will have to come out to accompany the leader. The leader must be very powerful."
"Aqing, your family is getting more and more prosperous. The leaders have come to visit you. From now on, you are not allowed to walk around outside?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said to the two sisters-in-law: "How can it be possible? The leader just thinks that A Dong is in love with him. Over the past few years, he can also see that A Dong is good."
"Besides, haven't you asked someone to calculate your horoscopes? I think A Dong's horoscopes are prosperous and that means they are mutually beneficial. Otherwise, if we are such a grown-up person, why would we marry him?"
"Our family now has so many boats, and we don't lack these red envelopes. From now on, we will have to buy gifts and come to visit them frequently."
"That's true, this godmother is a real deal, and you have to be filial and have a good relationship in the future." Sister-in-law Ye nodded, not saying that they took advantage.
Fortunately, their family had prepared a lot of food years ago. The weather was cold and it was around freezing recently, so the food could be stored.
There is no shortage of chickens, ducks and geese at home, as well as some dried seafood, such as dried shrimps, dried razor clams, dried shrimps, etc.
There is also a bucket of clams that Ye Mu dug up from the beach a few years ago. She still keeps them and hasn’t finished eating them yet. With a few vegetables, she can cover a large table.
There are only four women in their family, half of them are the old lady, and some older children in the family can also help. Ye Huimei also got the letter and ran back to help. Several women killed chickens, ducks and geese, and rectified the three
The table is still very slippery.
There were three tables for the lunch meal, all placed in the courtyard. The atmosphere was so lively that even the neighbors stopped at the entrance of the courtyard from time to time, stretching their heads to take a look.
The meal lasted from 11:30 to 1:30, and the guests and hosts thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Even the dogs were very satisfied. There were more types of bones today.
If it weren't for Director Chen and the others who had to ride back in the afternoon and couldn't drink too much, they probably wouldn't have left so early.
However, after sending the people away, Father Ye and Ye Yaodong enthusiastically took the village cadres to sit down and continue drinking. After all, their home was in the village.
It’s Chinese New Year, drink more wine and have fun.
The village cadres themselves were very satisfied with Ye Yaodong, and now they had to maintain a good relationship and give him even more face.
The food was hot and hot, and a group of people ate from the afternoon until the sun went down. The weather was cold and it was not suitable to sit outside. All the food on the table was swept away, and they were sent home in vain.
The three brothers, Father Ye and Ye Yaodong, were all so drunk that they could no longer speak properly. After returning to their respective homes, they all fell asleep.
The news spread throughout the village all day long. Ye Yaodong had become a leader in the city, and even during the Chinese New Year, the leaders personally visited him and wanted to adopt him as their adopted son.
I'm so envious of a lot of people. They all say that he wants to achieve great success and become a master, and he doesn't have to be a fisherman anymore.
Some people retort that he is not an ordinary fisherman himself, but has been the boss for a long time. With a series of boats of the same color outside the pier, who still thinks he is a fisherman?
Ye Yaodong, the man in the topic circle, was fast asleep. He slept until midnight before he got up and took a drink of water. Then he continued to sleep in a daze. It was not until the morning of the next day that he woke up.
"woke up?"
"Well, I'm a little thirsty."
"You drank too much. I drank from noon to evening. I'll get you some warm water."
Lin Xiuqing opened the quilt, put on her coat and poured boiling water for him.
Ye Yaodong also put on his clothes and pants and touched his coat. There was also the red envelope he received yesterday.
Yesterday, he didn't have time to look at how much money was inside. Now he opened it and saw 50 yuan inside. After being surprised, he thought it was normal.
If it's too little, you can't give it out, after all, you're still a leader.
Seeing Lin Xiuqing coming in with a steaming bowl, he asked again: "How much are the red envelopes for these children?"
"A red envelope costs two yuan, and each of them got two red envelopes. And when the leader came to the door yesterday, he was carrying those things that were worth a lot of money. I thought, for the Chinese New Year, we also have to visit the door, and we can't just let them go.
When people come to visit me, they are now serious relatives."
"Well, yes, forget it today. They just came here yesterday. Let's go tomorrow and take them back to the city. Director Chen has said before that he will be on duty on the night of the fifth day of the lunar new year."
"That's fine. I'll prepare today and buy some things. I'll send them over tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. I'll probably stay for lunch and then send them back to the city."
"Um."
After the couple discussed it, they both put on their clothes.
Ye Yaodong has been thinking about it for so many days and has to go to the city to have a look. Just in time to send the leader back, he can also check out the shops, warehouses, and factories that have not yet been arranged.
During the past few days of the New Year, he felt that he had never had a relaxing day, and he was still rushing hard.
On the second day of the second day of the lunar month, I accompanied Ah Qing back to her parents' home. On the third day of the third lunar month, the leader came over and stayed with her all day. On the fourth day of the lunar month, I went shopping in the town. On the fifth day of the lunar month, I went to the leader's house to pay New Year greetings, and then sent her to the city.
The sun had gone down when they arrived, so they could only stay one more night.
On the sixth day of the sixth day, I checked the goods, shops, and empty factories. I thought it was time to come, so I took Ah Qing for a walk around the city before driving the tractor home.
It's evening again when we get home.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the shipyard notified him that the last trawler among the seven scheduled ships had been built and could sail back immediately.
He asked his mother to check the date. His mother had learned a lot from studying the almanac in the past six months and said that day was a good day. He hurriedly went to the county town to pay the final payment and brought the boat back to set off firecrackers.
The whole year went by like a spinning top. Except for the first day of the new year where he could have a great time playing cards, at other times he felt that his feet were not touching the ground and he was more tired than going to sea.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, he didn't want to move. He woke up early and was still in bed, unable to get up.
Lin Xiuqing got dressed and sat at the table, combing her hair and applying perfume to herself. He propped his head on his elbows and watched.
"There's nothing else to do today, right? You don't have to go out anymore, right? It's so tiring after a year, so it's better not to celebrate the New Year."
"No one asked you to go out."
"But there are always things that force me to go out."
"There should be nothing to do today. Just lie down and sleep for a while."
"It's so cold that I don't want to get up. There was sunshine two days ago, but today it feels like it's going to rain."
"No, it's just gloomy. Isn't the weather like this in winter? It's rare to have so many sunny days. Everyone has had a good year."
Ye Yaodong watched her wipe her face and go out, then lay back down again.
It was rare that he could stay in bed for a while today. It felt gloomy outside, so there was no need to get up. He hugged Ye Xiaoxi and continued to close his eyes.
It wasn't until the little one woke up and clamored to get up and go out to play that he dressed her and got up himself.
Children are not afraid of the cold either. They lift off the quilt as soon as they wake up. Adults have to wait a little while to get up. Even if there is no emergency, they still need perseverance to get up.
No, if they hear the slightest sound, they will immediately get up and run out to play.
The outside world is so attractive.
As soon as Ye Yaodong got up, he saw his father sitting at his door.
"Many people started going to sea yesterday. When do you plan to start work? We can't really wait until the 15th, right? Thank you for taking so many days off and still paying them wages?"
"Are you okay? The other ships have been rented out and they are in a hurry to start work. Don't I also have an income? I just need to support a few people on the Dongsheng..."
"Your eldest and second brothers are eager to go to sea. They don't want to waste time playing at home and have to pay wages to others."
"Oh, go and ask Uncle Pei? When do they plan to go to sea?"
He just had a day off today...
Alas... I was born to work hard.
What you did less in your previous life, you have to work twice as hard in this life. God is indeed fair.
"After asking, Aguang said that he has been playing at home for so long. If he wants to go, we can go together in the evening."
Ye Yaodong sighed silently in his heart again.
"Tomorrow, give me one more day to rest. You guys have some free time. You play cards every day and are so leisurely and happy. I am running around everywhere and am very tired. I just had a day of rest today."
Mother Ye interjected, "I have seen it. I missed yesterday. There is no day to go to sea again until November. So many people went to sea yesterday. You guys will wait until November before going to sea. It will be the first time to go to sea after the New Year.
Don't be careless, it affects your shipping for the whole year."
"Are you okay? Don't pretend that you can. Ask others to see. Some boats haven't moved yet."
"Can I do it? How could I not do it? I have been studying it for more than half a year, and I have also asked others for advice. I can recognize a lot of traditional Chinese characters. Don't underestimate people. Many people have asked me to help me check the days."
Father Ye didn't say anything anymore. It's not the time to quarrel during the Chinese New Year.
When people ask her to look at the day, they just ask her normally, which day is a good day for going out to visit relatives, and which day is bad and not suitable for going out.
Who would fool her on big days and big things?
Anyway, there are other ships that have not gone out to sea. He will ask other people later if it is appropriate to go out to sea at night.
Pei's father no longer plans to go to sea from now on. He has left all the boats to A Guang and will take care of himself at home. He is the only elder and he has to keep an eye on all three boats.
With three sons and one son-in-law, the pressure was on him, so of course he had to be more attentive.
Ye Yaodong was satisfied when he heard that the day would only be available on the National Day, "Then we will wait until the National Day before going to sea. We will go to sea on the first day of the new year. No matter what, we have to choose a more auspicious day."
"Um."
He took a good rest at home for a leisurely day.
There was no sun all day today, and it felt much colder than the previous few days. When the wind blew out, I couldn't even wear my hat because of the wind.
My child went out to play for a long time, and when he came back he had runny noses and his face was red and chapped.
There was a strong wind again in the evening. It just so happened that the people in the village said that the eleventh day of the first lunar month would be a good day, so they took advantage of the situation and postponed their trip to sea until the eleventh day of the first lunar month.
The cold wind was howling at night, and the room was warm. The orange lights reflected the family watching TV seriously, making the room feel warm.
It was so cold that after dark, they locked up the children and did not let them go out. They only let them watch TV at home.
The old lady was watching TV and peeling peanuts and melon seeds.
Lin Xiuqing was knitting a sweater with her hands and staring at the TV, but it did not affect her hand speed at all.
Ye Xiaoxi squatted in front of Ye Yaodong, with his hands spread out on both sides of his legs. His feet kept moving, and he curled up to hang himself up from time to time. His body swayed, and he didn't stop squatting.
But the old lady was still used to it, peeling the peanuts and putting them in her mouth.
Ye Yaodong also peeled melon seeds in his hand and put them in her mouth. All she had to do was open her mouth and catch them.
The other two boys had no choice but to work on their own to provide enough food and clothing, but their minds were focused on the TV and they were not aggrieved.
Ye Yaodong has been busy running back and forth for several days, and today he can sit down and watch TV together as a family to kill time.
The child in front of him kept leaning into his arms, and he told her to calm down, be quiet, and stop moving around, but the smile on his face was always doting on her.
Ye Xiaoxi also twisted around, shouting coquettishly, "No, no, just move, just move."
"Don't make any noise!" Ye Chenghu shouted angrily.
The two boys in his family are obsessed with watching monkeys. As long as Sun Wukong is around, their eyes will be glued to the TV.
I won’t watch the Spring Festival Gala, but monkeys must watch it.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, Journey to the West was officially broadcast on CCTV. It has been broadcast for several days. In the past few nights, they have been in front of the TV every day.
"Journey to the West" was launched on July 3, 1982, and the pilot episode "The Demon-Slayer" was aired on October 1 of the same year.
During the Spring Festival in 1986, CCTV continuously broadcast the first 11 episodes.
The classic 1986 version of Journey to the West that everyone is familiar with is actually the 1982 version.
It was said to be the pilot period from 1982 to 1986, so the children at home watched several episodes intermittently in the past two years.
When it initially became a story series, it was successfully edited into an 11-episode TV series in 1986, and was broadcast on CCTV on New Year's Day in 1986.
Then we continued filming the remaining 12~25 episodes.
Therefore, 1986 is the true version of "Journey to the West", and this is also the main reason why there is no 82 version of "Journey to the West".
In fact, the 1982 version of "Journey to the West" was not closed after it was aired. It was only rectified and the length of the film was adjusted, and then it was reintegrated into the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".
There are a total of 25 episodes of Journey to the West, and the last 5 episodes were only filmed in 1988.
Ye Yaodong always believed that Journey to the West should have seventy or eighty episodes. After all, each episode is exceptionally exciting, rich in content, and compact in plot.
But later, he learned that Journey to the West only had 25 episodes in total.
The content is truly devoid of any water, and there are not many advertisements...
"Why are you so loud? You act like a monkey every day. I think you look like a monkey."
"She is so noisy and annoying."
"She talks more, or do you talk more? Aren't you the one doing the talking now?"
Ye Chenghu was so angry that he stopped talking. He hadn't seen a monkey in a long time. It has been broadcast every day for the past few days, and he was finally able to enjoy it.
"It's like I'm blind. I only know how to see monkeys every day, but I don't know how to see goblins."
"The goblin is going to be beaten to death!"
"Don't you think the fairies in it are all beautiful?"
"Ah, the goblin is dead. Sun Wukong is so powerful. His golden cudgel can be enlarged or reduced. He can also change 72 times. It's so amazing."
Ye Chenghu expressed his opinions excitedly, and even took out the broomstick and swung it around like Sun Wukong.
Ye Chengyang also added, "There is also a somersault cloud, which can fly thousands of miles away. It is so awesome that it can defeat a group of heavenly soldiers and generals."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and hit him with the iron hairpin she was knitting on, "Everyone looks at monkeys, but you look at fairies. How powerful this monkey is."
"When you grow up, you will know how to watch fairies."
"Bah!" Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "Don't teach bad children, just watch your TV."
"Ye Chenghu, please sit down and don't swing around with a stick. If you hit someone later, your skin will be peeled off."
Ye Chenghu sat down obediently, still holding the broom stick in his arms, and continued to watch TV attentively.
It wasn't until the episode was finished that Lin Xiuqing turned off the TV and told them to go back to the house to sleep. Then the three children went upstairs, and some went back to their rooms.
Ye Xiaoxi took off her clothes and was still doing somersaults on the bed, still chanting "One Hundred and Eight Thousand Miles".
"I will also... I will also..."
Ye Yaodong saw that she was sticking out her butt but not turning over, so he gave her a hand to help, "You can't even turn over, and you're still a thousand miles away, so go to sleep."
"I still want nei nei..."
"You're already 4 years old, and you still need to be nei nei."
"Doudou is 5 years old. Even after playing for a while, he still has to go home and drink some nei nei. I don't even drink my mother's nei nei."
Lin Xiuqing lifted up her clothes, smiled and leaned over to tease her, "I'll give you my mother's nei nei, do you want it?"
Ye Xiaoxi dodged around and shook his head vigorously, "No, no, I want the nei nei in the bowl."
She has stopped breastfeeding for half a year, and if I try to give her a drink, she no longer wants to drink it.
Ye Yaodong took a deep look at Lin Xiuqing's chest and actively stood up to make some malted milk for Ye Xiaoxi.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him in surprise, "You are so active today. Normally you wouldn't even move when I call you."
"We'll be going to sea in a few days, so of course we have to be proactive."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said meaningful words. As soon as she finished drinking, he immediately turned off the lights and urged Lin Xiuqing to put the child to sleep.
Only then did Lin Xiuqing understand what he was planning.
She said why she was working so hard today, she couldn't even scream normally, she just lay there like a corpse pretending to sleep.
Chapter completed!
