Chapter 166 The False Fame He Despises
"I am a man who is consistent in my words and deeds. I don't work in front of others or behind their backs!" Yu Yaoyang raised his head proudly, as if he had done something great.
"Hey...what are you so proud of?" Rutang was speechless. It was unlucky for the production team to have such a troublemaker.
This guy is the biggest troublemaker in Dali Village in decades.
"You said you only looked at the surface of the problem and didn't make a deep analysis. I don't work because I, your father, act as the brain, and the others are the hands and feet. The hands and feet are responsible for the work, and the brain gives orders and directs everyone."
This sounded quite boastful, but when Rutang thought about it, he suddenly had an idea.
"There have been a few years where the shrimp farm has made a lot of money. Was that because of you?!"
"It's just a small idea. Haha, these people just work blindly without thinking. When there is a water problem, they don't treat the water and just keep it there. How can it produce value?"
Rutang covered her mouth, it was really him!
She didn't even know this!
Yu Yaoyang never does physical work outside. In the village where diligence is a virtue, when others are working with their heads down, he can always be seen sitting there with his legs crossed like an old man, either smoking or sleeping, which is very conspicuous. Ru Tang once thought that this guy was very lazy, but after marrying him, she found that he was very hardworking at home, chopping wood, taking out the trash, cleaning the sewers, and doing all the dirty and tiring work.
It is definitely not what the old people often say, that he has no tact and no life in his eyes.
Later, Ru Tang summed it up himself and thought that this guy seemed to have a strange logic. He felt that people outside were not worth his physical effort. He made a very clear distinction between family members and outsiders in his mind.
But this theory of brain and hands and feet was the first time that Ru Tang heard of it.
"The shrimp farm in our village has been extremely profitable for several years. The production team leader at the time was even named a model worker and went to the city to receive an award. Was it all your idea?!" Ru Tang began to feel sorry for her man.
He was the one who came up with the idea and he was also the one who increased the output value, so why did someone else receive the award?
Some villagers secretly resented Yu Yaoyang for not doing physical work. He had given so much, but no one knew about it!
"It's just an empty title, it's meaningless. It doesn't matter if you eat or drink. You don't even get any bonus after taking such a long bus ride to the city. What's the point of wearing a big red flower and taking a photo with the leader like a silly roe deer?" Yu Yaoyang was too lazy to fight for such reputation.
He was gone for several days and missed the time to see her at the village entrance on weekends. He would not even accept the gift for free.
Rutang was still studying and living in the school dormitory. He only came back on weekends. He would smoke under the big tree at the entrance of the village, watching the girl with two big braids get off the carriage, and then watching her walk under the tree. Just this one glance could keep him in a good mood for the whole week.
Of course, a real man will never tell others about his miserable history of secret love. He will just keep it in his heart and recall it quietly.
"Then the output value decreased later. Is it because the production team leader was changed and he doesn't get along with you?" Ru Tang continued to ask.
The production team had a few years with extremely high output value from the shrimp farms, but it was just average in the following years. Although there was no loss, the output value was much lower than in those years.
"It's not that we don't get along, but that guy is stubborn and I don't want to talk to him."
Yu Yaoyang indirectly admitted it.
"Look, he's so amazing..." Ru Tang admired.
Although the previous production team leader was greedy for fame and glory, he was willing to listen to advice and adopted all of Yu Yaoyang's suggestions.
The current production team leader is stubborn and self-righteous. He thinks that he is the boss and knows everything. Yu Yaoyang knew what kind of person he is after meeting him twice and was too lazy to waste words with him. This kind of person will not listen to advice.
"Hehe, if I can't judge people well, can I marry you?" Yu Yaoyang muttered in a low voice.
There is nothing to be proud of when looking at those losers outside, but Yu Yaoyang is particularly proud of his own vision in choosing a wife.
In Yu Yaoyang's eyes, most of the other men in the village are idiots. They have no choice at their age and just pick any woman who can give birth to children. Yu Yaoyang prides himself on being different from those idiots.
He is not getting married just for the sake of getting married, nor is he having children just for the sake of having children. He wants to choose the woman he likes the most and the most outstanding woman in the world, so that their excellent genes can be passed on. He is clear-headed.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Rutang asked.
"Nothing, let's take a break." Yu Yaoyang stopped the car. Actually, he was not tired, but he felt that the weather was very hot and he was worried that she would be thirsty.
Rutang took out the kettle and handed it to him. Yu Yaoyang took it and took a sip. Just when he was about to hand the kettle back to her, he felt the water tasted wrong and spat it out.
"What is this?"
"Let me try it... uh." Rutang took a sip and almost spit it out.
The water was the sour plum juice prepared by my grandma. I don’t know how she made it, but it was very sour and there was no sugar added at all.
"This stuff can make my teeth break. Stop drinking it. I'm going to pick a melon." Yu Yaoyang looked around and saw a melon field in front of him, so he ran over.
This was already out of the territory of Dali Village. Yu Yaoyang had never paid for the melons he ate in Dali Village. He wanted to just grab one and leave, but when he thought of his wife chasing him and nagging him, he rolled his eyes and decided to buy two from the melon farmer so that he could have some peace and quiet.
The young couple sat under a tree and ate cantaloupe. The melons picked by the farmers were particularly sweet. Although they were a little warm from the sun, Ru Tang was still very satisfied after eating them.
"Our grandma is also confused. How can sour plum juice be made without a little sugar?" Yu Yaoyang complained. He thought his grandma was old and confused.
"Maybe they think I'm pregnant and like sour food. Today, the villagers kept asking me whether I like sour or spicy food."
Rutang knew clearly that everyone was trying to guess the gender of the baby in her belly by asking her what kind of food she liked.
People really believe in the saying "sour boy, spicy girl".
"A bunch of people, they have nothing better to do than to eat. It's none of their business whether my child is a boy or a girl!" Yu Yaoyang spat out melon seeds.
Rutang shrugged. She felt the same way.
Rutang's taste is more diverse now. One day she wants to eat spicy food, and another day she wants to eat sour food. Today she felt so happy eating melon. The changing taste is like the weather in June, which is sunny one second and cloudy the next.
"I told them you like daughters, but they didn't believe me." Rutang thought about the time when everyone asked her whether Yu Yaoyang liked sons or daughters, and she said daughters, and everyone's expressions were the same.
"It doesn't matter. I don't live with them, and I don't care what they think. You shouldn't care either. It doesn't matter if they are boys or girls. Everything is fate."
Yu Yaoyang actually really likes his daughter, but he doesn't dare to say it all the time for fear of putting pressure on Rutang.
"Yeah, I think so too." Rutang looked up and smiled at him.
"Don't move." He suddenly became serious. Rutang was so scared that she couldn't move, not even daring to blink. Was there a snake or some other dangerous animal behind her? !
