Ye Dongkui originally wanted to say, why wait until the afternoon, if you want to go, just go now.
But when he thought about leaving for the county town at this hour, he would probably arrive at Ye Dongming's house just in time for dinner, which would be inappropriate, so he swallowed his words of urging.
"Just be aware of it, and don't take it lightly." Ye Dongkui said, and as he turned to walk home, he scolded his eldest son Ye Qinghao who was following behind him, "Look at them, and then look at you. We're all about the same age, and you don't know where they've left you..."
Ye Qinghao was speechless and said, "Dad, you really know how to pick people to compete with me.
"Master Qin is about my age, why don't you ask me to become an official in the imperial court?"
"Bah!" Ye Dongkui rolled his eyes in anger at his son's words. "You can't even read a few words, and you want to compete with Master Qin? I think there's something wrong with your brain!"
"That's all! Although I'm not as capable as Qingchen, I'm still better than many people in the village.
"If you must compare me like that, then I'd like to compare you with Mr. Jiang!
"If you had gone out to sea and fought for your fortune when you were young, I would have been a rich young man by now. Why would I still be digging for food in the dirt?"
"You..." Ye Dongkui was speechless because of his son's words. He lowered his head and looked around at the ground. Then he bent down, picked up a branch and hit him. "I think you are itching for a beating, don't you?"
"Oh, Dad, slow down a bit, don't hurt your waist." Seeing this, Ye Qinghao ran home as fast as he could.
After all, his child is already grown up, and it is too embarrassing for him to be chased and beaten by his own father in the village.
The surrounding villagers were amused by the father and son.
Ye Dongkui slowed down his pace, threw away the wood in his hand, patted the dirt off his hands, and said, "I'm really sorry to have embarrassed everyone."
"Uncle Dongkui, Qinghao is right. We can't blindly demand that our children be ambitious. It's enough for them to live a life that is neither better than others nor worse than others."
The incident caused by Ye Dongkui and his son effectively diverted the villagers' attention, and everyone soon left the Ye family's doorstep, chatting and laughing.
The Ye family finally had time to take a closer look at the sign on the door.
Although most people except Ye Changrui could not understand the words on the sign, it did not stop them from smiling happily.
After nailing this sign, the whole gate looks different from before.
Old Madam Ye studied it for a long while, then reached out and touched it carefully, saying, "This sign can't be hung on the door in the wind and sun!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye immediately said, "Then shall I embroider a pie to cover it?"
"If you cover it up, no one else can see it!" Mrs. Ye shook her head and suddenly turned to look at her husband. "How about you make a cover for it?"
Old Madam Ye clapped her hands and said, "This is a good idea, Third Brother, you should do it right away.
"I'm going to keep this card as a family heirloom. I'd be heartbroken if it got broken."
"Okay, Mom, I'll make it as soon as possible." Ye Lao San nodded.
Old Mrs. Ye looked for a long time but still didn't want to go into the house. She stood at the door looking around.
As she watched, her expression became less happy than at the beginning, and she even sighed softly in the end.
Ye Lao Si asked in confusion: "Mom, such a good thing happened, why are you suddenly unhappy?"
"Look at your brother's tiger-fighting hero sign. Doesn't it look good?"
“It looks great!”
"Is it impressive?"
“How magnificent!”
"Then don't you think it looks a bit out of place?"
Ye Lao Si scratched the back of his head and asked in confusion: "Where?"
Old Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes at him. The fourth child really had no understanding of romance at all and was a blockhead.
You still miss Miss Zhou even though this is happening?
It's just a dream!
Ye Lao Si didn't know that his mother was criticizing him, so he turned and looked at Ye Lao Da for help.
It is said that it was the eldest son, Ye Lao Da, who understood his mother's thoughts the best. He smiled and said, "Mom, when we have time next year, we will renovate this old house, use the large yard at the back, and build a few more houses.
"There are so many people in our family, and we all live in a spacious place, right?
"This will be our main courtyard then, and you will live in the main house.
"I'll have someone renovate our front door to make it look grand, and then hang this sign. I'm sure you'll like it when it's ready!"
Ye Lao Er also expressed his opinion: "Yes, mother, this is our ancestral home. We just came back this year and the weather quickly turned cold and we didn't take care of it. We must renovate it thoroughly next year so that we can live comfortably!"
Ye Lao San also agreed, "Yes, mother, the children will grow up in the future, and the old house will not be able to accommodate them, right? We must build a few more rooms."
After hearing the opinions of her three sons, Mrs. Ye's expression suddenly brightened.
Ye Lao Si was speechless and said, "Mom, if you want to repair the house, just say it directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush like this?"
Old Mrs. Ye glanced at him, and without even bothering to say anything to this silly boy, she turned and went into the house.
Since entering the customs, the eldest, second and third companies have gradually started to make money based on their own abilities.
Although the family had not yet divided up, Old Lady Ye had never put any of the money earned by each small family into her own pocket.
But with her current savings, it is barely enough to renovate the house, let alone build a new one.
Boss Ye's statement is like giving Old Lady Ye a reassurance.
The only thing is that the fourth brother is like a blockhead. He has no ability to make money and can't figure anything out. It's really worrying.
