The village chief thought to himself: You may not be jealous, but I am. His son has already divorced his wife, yet he's still acting like a father-in-law!

The village chief ate his fruit resentfully. "What kind of work did you do today, Steward Yu?"

Aunt Guo watched her two cousins ​​bickering and ate fruit, laughing all the while. They'd been together for half their lives, and she was used to their constant rivalry whenever they got together.

After everyone had tea and fruit, they went into the kitchen together. The two brothers carried the fish to the yard, Aunt Guo began to clean them, and the village chief began to butcher and gut them.

Grandpa Yu went to the storeroom and found all the racks for drying fish, cleaned them, and set them up in the yard. When he saw that there wasn't enough space, he moved them to the roof and set up two more rows.

"Arrange the fish thinly and dry them as much as possible. The forecast says it will rain tomorrow, so don't let them spoil," the village chief instructed.

"I know, Chen Hong said to just dry it until it's almost done, and she'll use the dryer to finish drying it tomorrow. It won't get damaged. Chen Hong bought a dryer, you didn't know that!"

"Really? I didn't know that. I haven't been here for a long time. She's out at sea all day, and when I come, the door is locked and I haven't seen her. Is the machine working well?" the village chief asked.

"I don't know, but it should work well. Chen Hong said they're baking abalone inside right now! This machine cost almost 4,000 yuan, so it must be good since it's so expensive."

"Chen Hong has gone underwater again. When did she catch the abalone?"

"I don't know, and I didn't ask. We can't interfere in the affairs of young people; asking too much won't do any good. When you get old, all you can do is take care of the children and help dry the fish," Grandpa Yu Yang sighed.

"Why are you sighing? It's not just you who's getting old. Your sister-in-law and I are old too."

Aunt Guo said from the side, "You guys are really funny. Each of our two families has a son who has flown away and doesn't want to come back. Only the three of us old folks are left at home."

Chen Hong, originally from Fucheng, ended up coming to our Yujia Village to live with us three. It's actually quite funny when you think about it.

Yu Zhaohua glanced at Yu Yang, who was playing with the dog nearby, and said, "Luckily, I have my grandson. If it weren't for Yu Yang, Chen Hong wouldn't have been able to stay. Our little fishing village couldn't have accommodated her. I'm really benefiting from my precious grandson's good fortune."

Yu Yang, who was nearby, heard this and said to his grandfather with a smile, "It's okay, Grandpa, you get all the credit." The child was playing on the side but didn't forget to listen to the adults' conversation.

The three old men laughed, and the village chief said, "Every family is doing this for their children. To give their children a better future, young people all want to go out now."

Actually, things have developed quite well in recent years. A new central primary school was built in the town this year, and the county middle school has also been upgraded to a key middle school. For high school, you can go to Rongcheng. Educational infrastructure is very good now; I heard that even the primary school teachers are university graduates now.

“Our Yu Yang is lucky to be born in such a good time. I was worried that Chen Hong would have to go back to Jinan for the sake of her child’s schooling!”

“My mother said that instead of going back to Jinan, I should attend the best school at home, and she would hire someone to drive me to and from school.”

"Tell Grandpa in detail what your mother said," Grandpa Yu asked his grandson eagerly.

"My mom said she's really good at fishing, and she'll be able to buy a big house next year, and she'll buy one near a good school in Rongcheng."

My mom also said that next year I'll go to the central primary school in town first. Since she's busy earning money and won't have time to pick me up, she bought a car and hired villagers to take me to school. Once I'm in middle school, I'll be able to ride an electric scooter and won't need to hire anyone anymore.

He scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "If I want to go to high school in Jinan, my mom said she'll save up money next year to buy a house in Jinan. If I go to university in Beijing, she'll save up money to buy a house in Beijing."

Anyway, my mom says she'll definitely be able to earn enough for a house in three or four years, and she'll buy a house wherever I go.

Yu Yang puffed out his little chest, as proud as a little rooster, and spoke of his mother's plan with immense confidence. He knew that his mother could definitely do it.

"Your mom is amazing!" Grandpa Yu exclaimed.

"Of course, my mom is the best!"

The village chief looked at his speechless cousin and said, "Yu Yang, talk to your mother and ask your great-uncle to pick you up and drop you off at school. Your mother doesn't need to pay you; she just needs to provide him with food."

As he spoke, he glanced smugly at Yu Zhaohua.

"Grandpa, if you don't pick me up or drop me off, come to my house and my mom will feed you. Grandma, you can come and eat too." This made the village elders laugh heartily.

“I’d rather do it myself than use you, Xiaobao. Tell your mother that Grandpa will pick you up from school next year. He won’t have to pay you or provide meals.”

"Okay, all of you come, and meals will be provided for you."

The village chief smiled and said to the foreign grandfather, "I think your grandson has changed your family's style. He speaks clearly and logically, covering all aspects. Chen Hong really knows how to teach her child. This kid will definitely grow up to be a good person."

Grandpa Yu Yang said with a smile, "It's okay if I don't know how to teach the children. My grandson's mother knows how to teach them, so our family's life won't go downhill."
