Chapter 1037 Father Pei’s gossip (8000 words)(2/3)
If it wasn't a matter of Feng Shui, what else could he say?
After arguing for a long time, this time everyone took a step back and reached an agreement for the time being, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
The old lady also waved her cane to chase them away, "Okay, I've been arguing about this all morning, and it's lunch time. You guys will go back to your houses to eat. I won't keep you here. I'm just eating.
Home."
Uncle Ye and Uncle Ye nodded and went out directly, preparing to go home for dinner.
Aunt Ye and her uncle also planned to go back, but Ye Yaodong stopped them and invited them to finish eating before leaving.
"Whose grain was blown by the strong wind? You don't have land. You buy grain from others. We won't add more food. We will have something to eat when we go home. As long as the matter is resolved, when will we start building the tomb?
Well, let me know when the time comes."
"Dongzi has invited you. It's rare for you to come here, so just stay and eat. I guess Ah Qing has already prepared the rice. Don't waste it. They're not outsiders, they're all members of your family..."
The old lady and Ye Yaodong strongly invited them, and Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua also invited them politely.
They couldn't shirk it, so they followed Ye Yaodong back to eat.
Among the three brothers, Ye Yaodong is the best, the richest, and the most promising. Of course, the first choice to stay for dinner is to go to his house.
Everyone originally thought that the matter of repairing the tomb would be settled like this for now. Uncle Ye himself asked a gentleman to read it before talking about it. Everyone did not go out to sea at night and waited first. We will see what to say the next day and settle this matter first.
, it’s not too late to go to sea.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Ye's face turned pale early the next morning, and he looked haggard as if he hadn't slept all night. His eyes were bloodshot. He ran over and said that there was no need to look at the cemetery. It was just the original mountainous area. Let's find someone to look at it today.
Work will begin on a day-to-day basis.
Everyone was very surprised. Father Ye didn't even bother to continue even though he was halfway through breakfast. He put down his chopsticks and asked first.
But Uncle Ye just gritted his teeth and said he had figured it out.
Or was it Ye Yaodong who saw that he was listless and had dark circles under his eyes, so he asked him if he had a nightmare?
Then he turned pale and said that he had been dreaming about it since he fell asleep at night. He dreamed that his father scolded him for being unfilial and wanted him to die without a burial place.
he……
Uncle Ye was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep all night. As soon as he fell asleep, it seemed as if someone was standing beside his bed, and in his mind, his own father climbed up to question him.
So early this morning, as soon as the genius came to light, he immediately ran over and said that he would repair the tomb immediately depending on the date, and then asked the old lady to help recite the sutra a few more times and talk to the old man.
Originally, he went directly to the old house, but who knew that Father Ye would get up so early and come over for breakfast not long after dawn, so he had to make another trip to his place.
Ye Yaodong watched the people leave with a mixture of laughter and laughter, then said: "My grandma is so good. She just said a few words, and my grandpa listened to it, and climbed up to my uncle to settle the score overnight?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Your uncle was just worried about what happened during the day. He thought about it every day and dreamed about it at night. He was frightened by his dreams."
But Mother Ye said sarcastically: "If you don't do bad things during the day and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, you have a guilty conscience. Otherwise, why would you be afraid that your own father will look for him at night?"
The old lady stopped them from continuing to say this, "As long as we have agreed, there is no need to talk about these things. He looks pitiful. Later, the third child will go to the next village to find a gentleman to check the start date of the construction. By the way,
Several masons will also let Afan go to the mountains to work with them, and they can subsidize the shared money to some extent and owe less."
"knew."
It would be great if it could be solved so easily.
Father Ye quickly finished the food in the bowl and immediately went to find someone to check the date. He also called the workers and quickly set a time to start work, so as to avoid going back on his word and making other noises. There were so many people.
If you have big opinions, it's easy to make a mess.
After everything was settled, he left the matter to Uncle Ye. After all, if the weather was good and the sea was calm, they would go to sea again. With Uncle Ye's condition, how could he dare to ask him to do anything? It happened that Uncle Ye was now
He didn't do anything, so he just asked him to supervise from time to time.
Regarding the important matter of repairing the tomb of his ancestors, he didn't dare to mess around, nor did he dare to ruin the feng shui.
What's more, Ye Yaofan also went to work on the tomb, and they could supervise each other. The workers were called by Ye's father. If there were any problems, he would come over and tell them first and let them make up their minds.
The day after he visited the grave, Father Pei had already gone to sea and sent A Guang to the city. He couldn't wait for the Dongsheng ship. There were so many things going on in their family, who knows how long they would have to keep talking, so he left first.
Indeed, it was already three days after Father Ye finished making arrangements, and they had just begun to work on matters related to going to sea at night.
It has already entered April, and there will be more fish in spring. A day without going to sea is a day lost.
But before they could go out to sea at night, it started to rain again in the evening. Worried about the bad weather outside, they had to postpone it for another day.
Unexpectedly, after a day of delay, the Harvest came back the next day and also said that the weather outside was bad and the waves were strong.
The father and son had no choice but to continue to rest. Fortunately, they were not as poor as other families, so they could rest as long as they could. It would not be a problem to rest for a year.
Because of his free time, after the construction of the cemetery started, he ran up the mountain every day and watched the workers digging rocks at work. From time to time when he went down the mountain, he would pass Aguang's house and have a drink with Pei's father before going back.
As soon as it was time for dinner, Ye's mother looked at Ye's father with a red face and started scolding him.
"You started drinking horse urine in broad daylight, so I shouldn't have left you idle. I asked you to weave more baskets, but you didn't even know where to go. If I hadn't seen you kicking in mud every day, I would have doubted which widow's house you were running to.
Already."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are old enough to talk like this."
"The in-laws are getting ready to start their second spring. Is there anything we can't talk about?"
Father Ye almost spat out the soup, swallowed it quickly and coughed, "How did you know?"
"Hmph, what can the village hide from me?"
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also had shocked expressions on their faces.
Ye Yaodong quickly stretched his neck and swallowed the rice, "Then what do you mean? Uncle Pei's second love? With some widow? No, right? Real or fake? A Guang is going to have a stepmother? Damn...
…”
Father Ye quickly glared at the mother and son, "Don't talk nonsense. You haven't even written your horoscope yet. Keep your mouth shut and spread the word. How will people behave?"
Lin Xiuqing's face was filled with curiosity. She bit her chopsticks and asked in disbelief: "Mom, are you telling the truth? Uncle Pei is looking for another one. Hasn't he been single for more than ten years?
I haven’t looked for it for a long time, are you looking for it now?”
"Yeah, I didn't look for it when I was young, but now I look for it. Is it interesting to look for it... Ahem, why do I still look for it at this age?" Ye Yaodong didn't have the nerve to say it so bluntly. There were old and young at the dinner table.
If it were just him and Ah Qing, then he would have no inhibitions.
"What are you asking about the elders..." Father Ye stopped them from asking further, still trying to cover up.
"What can't be said? It will happen sooner or later." Ye Yaodong's face was full of gossip, "What's going on? Mom, is there anything to say here? Which widow is Uncle Pei with? Is he already 50? He doesn't even look at it.
How much younger than my father?"
Father Ye glared at him fiercely, "Don't compare me. He is one year younger than me, and you talk more. When eating all day long, you are not the one with the richest family."
Ye's mother also gave Ye's father a look, "Don't you also like to hear it? When are you going to say it when you are not eating? You have to know a little bit about everything in the village, otherwise, you won't know anything about what people ask you."
"Why do you want to know so much..."
"Oh, don't be so pretentious. Which widow is Uncle Pei dating?" Lin Xiuqing was worried. If she wasn't so curious about others, it was related to her own family.
"Isn't there a widow next door to my in-laws? In the past two years, I witnessed the man in the family being caught in a fishing net and dragged into the sea. The two eldest daughters in the family have already married, leaving only the younger children, orphans and widowers. The in-laws saw that they were pitiful.
From time to time, he would come to help chop wood, fetch water, etc., and he would come and go. As time went by, people would see him, and word would spread around him."
"I know, I know, their first boat was sold to Uncle Pei by the widow." Ye Yaodong spoke immediately as the fire of gossip burned in his eyes.
"Yes, that's their house. There's a lot of disputes in front of the widow's house. Although both of them are old, there's no guarantee that after a few words with the neighbors, some people will hear it, and then the gossip will be spread. But last year, there were less people talking.
, because my parents are often away from home when they go to sea, and there are big dramas in the village from time to time."
"Then why are you talking about Uncle Pei's second spring now?"
"That Ma Lifang, oh, that's the widow. She was seen going in and out of her in-laws' house during meal time, delivering cooked food to their family."
"That's it?"
"Otherwise? One often comes to your door to fetch water, chop firewood, and deliver fish and shrimp, and the other comes to deliver cooked dishes. The two of them go back and forth. Who would believe me if I don't order anything?"
Ye Yaodong's face was full of regrets. He thought he could hear something exciting, such as Lao Ben Hua Zhu or something like that.
Lin Xiuqing's face was full of approval, and she also felt that there must be something fishy inside.
"Did people see it again in the past two days, so it started spreading again?"
"Yes, the neighbors saw Ma Lifang serving food in the past two days, and they all joked about whether something good was coming for them. Then Ma Lifang did not refute, she just smiled and asked everyone not to guess."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like A Guang is really going to have a stepmother."
Mother Ye slapped him twice, "Why are you so happy and gloating about misfortune? Do you really want your sister to have a step-mother-in-law?"
"No, what should I be happy about? It's not like I have one more person..."
Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's eager eyes and realized that he had almost answered the question wrongly in his instinctive reaction. He took a quick sip and then continued.
"I just find it strange. Uncle Pei didn't say that he would find one when he was young, and then he would have two more sons. Why not find him now when he is older?"
"Yes, why didn't Uncle Pei look for him when he was young, and why did he look for him now that he is old?" Lin Xiuqing also repeated his question.
"Isn't this getting old? If you don't find a wife to live with and take care of you when you are always sick, what will you do when you get old? Do you still expect your daughter-in-law to take care of you? It's not convenient, and your son may not always be there.
How can my son take care of people around me?"
This was said by Father Ye.
