Chapter 13
Who provides for the elderly?
The lunch meal is still sweet potato shreds and boiled porridge!
The family has a large population, so how can they afford to eat all day long? Even to eat porridge, I have to add a lot of shredded sweet potatoes.
As for the reason why it is not sweet potato rice, it is because it is easier to store sweet potatoes when shredded and can be eaten for more than half a year when dried. When cooked with rice, you can use less rice, and it tastes good and sweet.
Of course, this sweetness is what Ye Yaodong feels. The whole family is already tired of eating sweet potato rice/sweet potato shredded rice. How can I still find it sweet? It’s good if it can fill the stomach.
Because there are no separate families, there are many people in the family, and the portions of the dishes are quite generous. The vegetarian dishes are grown in my own backyard, and the seafood is left over from the trawling net yesterday afternoon.
A bunch of small fish were worthless. Yesterday I killed them all and dried them, leaving only a few larger braised ones.
The three-eyed crabs are not accepted at the wharf. If you eat too much of these crabs, you will be allergic and your whole body will be itchy. No one will buy them, but you cannot waste them and throw them back into the sea. There are too many and they will not be able to finish them. If you leave them for a long time, they will
It stinks so much that my relatives, friends and neighbors gave some away when I came back yesterday.
For adults, if you eat two or three, it will be fine if you don't eat more. Don't eat it for the elderly and children.
There are also a dozen swimming crabs left for the child to eat.
There is also a bowl of small sword shrimps and a bowl of sea melon seeds that I dug in the morning. I mixed these and cooked them in boiling water. Add seasonings and a little chili. They are delicious and economical...
There is also the oyster omelette that the whole family loves!
He also likes it. It took him a long time to open spat on the stone wall. As the old saying goes, it is also called oyster hunting.
As soon as he sat down, before he even took a bite, he started to pick up the fried oysters. If he didn't pick them up, they would be gone. How could I not eat all the oysters I worked so hard to dig for? This is a good thing to replenish bullets.
"Ouch~ Third uncle, take some small pieces and leave one for me~"
"You haven't eaten enough yet? Just look at you and keep stretching your chopsticks towards this bowl of fried oysters." Ye Yaodong picked up a chopstick himself and did not forget to pick up another chopstick and put it in his wife's bowl.
She hasn't even sat down to eat yet. When she sits down, there will be decent food somewhere.
Lin Xiuqing looked at his rare move, and her eyes softened, but she was not willing to eat it. She fried the piece of oyster and gave it to her eldest son and fed it to him.
Oysters are hard to beat, so it took a long time to open a bowl. They are not available every day. One meal at noon and one meal at night may not be available tomorrow.
"Third uncle also eats less!"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at his eldest nephew Ye Chenghai, "I can't eat the oysters I caught!"
"What are you talking about while we're having dinner?" Mother Ye knocked on the plate and they all shut up.
The food was so rich today, no one wanted to talk, everyone was eating with enthusiasm.
In the past, there were only one or two bowls of shellfish, or fish, and a few vegetarian dishes, but today there are crabs, shrimps, fish, and shells all available!
After all, we have a boat at home, and we made a lot of money yesterday, so we should have a rich meal today.
Father Ye saw that everyone had arrived and then said: "I just went to the commune to apply for land to build a house. We have already discussed it inside and approved it at the intersection to the beach. There happens to be an open space there. If you can't grow crops, just take it."
Come and build a house.”
Their village is close to the sea and there are not many fields that can be cultivated. The allocated fields are at the junction with the neighboring Dongqiao Village.
The two villages are also very close to each other, but the village of Dongqiao Village is smaller, with only more than 100 households, and their village is not close to the sea, but is located next to the road, so every time the tide goes out, they go to Baisha Village to catch the sea.
The villagers in Baisha Village are also very familiar with the villagers in Dongqiao Village. There are many intermarriages between the two villages. Ye Yaodong's grandma is from Dongqiao Village.
After hearing what Ye's father said, Ye Yaodong had no reaction and continued to eat from him, because he also bought this land in his previous life, and the three brothers' houses were built next to each other.
He still lived there until his death.
Just because he is indifferent doesn't mean that others are too. They are all very excited to have their own little family soon.
Sister-in-law Ye said excitedly: "That piece of land is quite good. It's close to the beach. Just walk straight to the end!"
"Are we building three suites, dad?" Sister-in-law Ye frowned, but she was a little worried.
Logically speaking, two apartments are enough, and one son can live with his parents and be responsible for their old age.
However, who doesn’t want to live in a new house and live their own life? Sister-in-law Ye also has selfish motives. If they only build two houses, the one that will stay in the old house will definitely be their big house.
Ye Yaopeng looked at his wife incomprehensively, "Why do you want three apartments? Two apartments are enough."
Men are relatively more nervous. What's more, Ye Yaopeng feels that he is the boss, and it is normal for his parents to take care of him in old age. He can't just follow the third child who is out of control, right?
Ye Yaodong looked at the reactions of his two sisters-in-law and curled his lips sarcastically. Both of his brothers were nice people, but the two sisters-in-law each had their own selfish motives and they were not as generous as his wife.
In his previous life, he ran away after dinner and didn't come back at noon. He didn't know the direction of the development of the matter. When he came back in the evening, he heard that his family was going to build three apartments, one for each of the three brothers.
You can take a look now!
After hearing Ye Yaopeng's words, Sister-in-law Ye didn't dare to say how to divide the two houses and who would stay for the elderly. If she said so, he would have to worry about her!
Ye Yaohua was a fool, and said with a smile: "Mom and dad, whoever you plan to live with, we will keep and raise for you... Hey, why are you pinching me..."
Second Sister-in-law Ye glared at him, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute. The house hasn't been built yet, so you are in a hurry to separate the family?"
Although the words are beautiful, who among the people present is not like Ming Jing? Can you still not understand that she is not willing to live in the old house and live with her parents-in-law?
Father Ye looked at the little thoughts of his daughters-in-law and didn't intend to hide them. He asked straight to the point: "Which of you plans to stay for retirement?"
"Dad, it depends on who you want to live with. I am the boss. Logically, you and mother have to live with us."
Ye Laoer also nodded, "Yes, dad, if you and mother want to stay with us for retirement, that's fine."
Second Sister-in-law Ye, with an unattractive look on her face, forced a smile and said, "My parents are only in their early fifties, so why do we need to provide for them in old age?"
Sister-in-law Ye also quickly said: "Yes, my parents are still very strong. They can still work for at least ten or twenty years, and they will not be able to support themselves in old age..."
"So you don't want to, right?" Father Ye's face also darkened.
"Where, how could it be..."
Without waiting for the two sisters-in-law to retort, Ye Yaodong put one foot up on the chair and said nonchalantly: "Dad, the two sisters-in-law are not willing, but my wife is willing, and so am I. Why don't we stay with you and my mother?"
Are you staying with grandma?"
Lin Xiuqing also felt like a man at this time. She nodded and said sincerely: "Father and mother, please stay with us!"
The old lady happily agreed, "Okay, Dongzi will stay with us."
"Come on, let's live with him. Will he support me, or will I support him?"
