Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Wide and Narrow Alley

A visit requires a gift.

But the gifts that Wang Lai Di prepared for her elder sister were still in the space, and there was no time to take them out in a hurry, so Ye Yu first went to the state-owned store in the county town to buy some things, and then used the cover of the backpack behind him to make a simple exchange with the gifts in the space.

Then he entered the residential alley.

It is indeed easy to get lost in the alleys, big and small. If a stranger enters by mistake, he may not even know where the exit is. Fortunately, Ye Yu has a natural map brain. After quickly walking around twice, he has memorized the coordinates of this place.

Then, following the directions of people passing by, I turned left, right, straight, left, and straight, and finally found Wang Yidi's home.

At this time, except for those on night shift, everyone else has gone home, and every household is crowded.

The same thing happened at Wang Yidi's house. At the door, a teenage girl was using a rattle and a stuffed tiger to amuse a young child who was hardly able to tell the difference between a boy and a girl.

Seeing Ye Yu stop in front of her house, the girl stopped shaking the wave drum and looked puzzled.

Lost?

Facing Ye Yu, who was a little out of touch with the environment, the girl felt a little awkward and nervous, and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Cousin Qiao Xi? I'm Ye Yu, and I'm here to visit my aunt Wang Judi."

Wang Lai Di told Ye Yu about the situation of Wang Yu Di's family during the Chinese New Year. The girl in front of her should be Wang Yu Di's little daughter, who is about the same age as her. The child in her arms is Qiao Xi's nephew or niece, and also her cousin.

"Hey, hey, hey? Ye Yu? Cousin?" Qiao Xi's expression was still confused.

At that time, it was not that some relatives were not close enough, but it was really difficult to communicate with each other because of the distance between provinces and cities. After marriage, the Wang sisters basically relied on letters to keep in touch.

Therefore, it took Qiao Xi a while to react before she remembered that Ye Yu was her third aunt's daughter.

But isn’t Ye Yu her cousin who is two months younger than her?

But when comparing her cousin's height with her own, who was more than two heads shorter than her, Qiao Xi secretly swallowed her words and decided to just call her cousin.

It can be seen that she is a person who is not good at speaking and has a reserved personality.

Ye Yu followed Qiao Qian into the house.

Wang Yidi's house is not small. It has no yard, but it has seven or eight rooms front and back, and many people live there. Her three married sons all live here, as well as their daughters-in-law, their younger generations, and a little daughter who just came of age this year.

Quite noisy.

A big family lives together, but they didn't grow up together. Everyone has their own personality, so it's inevitable that there will be some noise. If there's no chaos, it's considered a good relationship.

As soon as she entered the house, Ye Yu heard the two sisters-in-law arguing about some trivial matters, while their men pretended not to hear and stood on the other side.

Qiao Xi blushed and called sister-in-law and third sister-in-law twice, and then briefly introduced Ye Yu.

Seeing the outsiders coming, the sisters-in-law stopped their quarrel immediately. They were more capable than Ye Qian. They served tea, carried stools and exchanged pleasantries.

Wang Yidi also came out of the house, looked at Ye Yu for a while, and said with red eyes: "It's San Ya, she has grown into a big girl, just like your mother."

In fact, among the three sisters, Ye Yu is the most different from Wang Lai Di when she was young.

It's just a time filter.

Ye Yu called out "Auntie".

Wang Xiudi was very enthusiastic, or rather, she transferred all her feelings for her sister to her sister's daughter. She gave Ye Yu a big red envelope when they met.

She had prepared this red envelope since she knew Ye Yu was going to the countryside. There must be a lot of money in it, which caused at least two of the three sisters-in-law next door to keep looking at the red envelope.

Wang Qiudi knew that Ye Yu had gone to the countryside, and asked him about his situation.

Even though Ye Yu said that she was living a good life and she did look very well, with a tender and beautiful face, especially her hands, which were as white and slender as green onions, she still felt distressed because going to the countryside was not an easy thing.

When he learned that she came to the county to work for the production team, he couldn't help but feel proud.

The three sisters-in-law also knew Wang Jiagou, and they were all trying to flatter Wang Jiagou, but it was okay for them to just say a few words, but if they talked too much, the atmosphere would become a bit awkward.

It seems like there is something else behind his words.

Ye Yu's eyes moved around and fell on Qiao Xi, who lowered her head and pursed her lips. He probably knew what was going on. Just like their family last year, Qiao Xi was also going to be sent to the countryside.

Qiao Xi seems to be an okay person at the moment. If she really goes to the countryside, she will have to do it even if she can't do it.

But Wang Guidi had her own plans. Perhaps because she was the eldest daughter in the family, she always had her own ideas and a strong personality. She did not care what her daughter-in-law thought and had decided to give her job in the glass factory to her youngest daughter.

In her eyes, even though one of her sons and two daughters-in-law were still temporary workers, they were already married and no longer young, and they did not have to face the hardship of going to the countryside.

With a mother who is always busy taking care of her, Qiao Xi is undoubtedly happy. But perhaps because of this happiness, she is too well protected and listens to her mother in all matters, big and small. Her own temperament is slow, just like her father.

Wang Qiudi continued to chat with Ye Yu, telling her many stories about her mother's childhood.

Some are funny, some are silly.

For example, when he was nine years old, he secretly drank too much sugar water and wet his bed. When it came to double-snap, he would pretend to be sick and slack off from time to time.

In Ye Yu's eyes, Wang Lai Di seemed to be born to be a qualified mother, but from Wang Yi Di, Ye Yu saw her mother's childhood, adolescence and youth for the first time.

Of course, we stayed for dinner.

The dishes were rich in variety. Because of Wang Yudi's husband's work and the right timing, they bought a whole piece of pork and stir-fried some water chestnut and pork shreds. The staple food was still white flour steamed buns.

Precisely because Wang Xiudi was so enthusiastic, Ye Yu felt more comfortable than being at Grandma Wang's house. He was able to be reserved and did not eat to his heart's content.

Before leaving, Wang Yidi packed a lot of things for Ye Yu, including a hand-woven scarf and some melon seeds and peanuts for her fellow educated youth.

He also asked Qiao Qian to send Ye Yu off.

Unable to refuse, Ye Yu could only let Qiao Xi follow him silently all the way, and then return to send Qiao Xi back, which was equivalent to three trips back and forth by himself.

Ye Yu's thoughts were actually similar to Wang Yudi's. Although there were many people living in these alleys, they were full of all kinds of people and were pitch black, so they were not very safe.

It is not safe to be with strangers, and it is not safe to be with acquaintances either. Qiao Qian's pace of returning home has obviously quickened.

Perhaps because the situation was too tense, Ye Yu did not find any trace of the black market in these alleys, but he heard many big and small family conflicts.

Normally she doesn't interfere, really.

Unless he couldn't bear it any longer, it might also be because Ye Yu met too many fools after his rebirth and his heart became soft.

A man who domestically abused his wife and daughter was taught a lesson, and he was probably almost disabled, or the woman could be beaten back if she had any resistance in the future; there was also a GWH clerk who bullied families from the five black categories, and whatever he did was paid double in the form of an accident, and he "accidentally" broke both his legs.

When Ye Yu returned to the guesthouse, Hua Feifei and the other two were still awake and waiting for her.

Han Jing and Xu Fei were actually so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes, but they insisted on waiting until Ye Yu came back before returning to their rooms.

The same goes for Hua Feifei.

She and Ye Yu lived in the same room, but they did not share a single bed. Instead, they slept on the same kang. She spoke half a sentence to Ye Yu and immediately had a date with Zhou Gong.

The quality of sleep is enviable.

In the middle of the night, Hua Feifei woke up in a daze and was shocked to see Ye Yu sitting on the kang practicing martial arts.

The sleepyhead flew away all of a sudden.

Hua Feifei's eyes turned red again, and she apologized to Ye Yu like a little rabbit, for the misunderstanding she had made when they were assigned rooms in the countryside. It turned out that Ye Yu really couldn't sleep with someone else, and had to stay up all night, and he didn't tell them in advance that they could book an extra room.

Elm leaves:

“…”

That's not the reason.

I couldn't sleep because, firstly, the environment of the guesthouse was too bad, the room was small, and the sound insulation was worse than that of a residential building; secondly, the service was not good in that era, and there were too many strange smells in the room. For people with a keen sense of smell, it was like returning to the end of the world.

For people with special abilities, not sleeping for one night is really nothing. It is common for them to not sleep for a week when they are on a solo mission. In such an environment, it is better not to sleep.

Ye Yu knew that Hua Feifei had truly misunderstood this time, but he couldn't explain the reason, so he could only give up, patted her head, and sighed: "Go poop quickly!"

"What do you mean?" Hua Feifei was apologizing one moment and then she was so angry that she jumped up and down the next. It seemed that this way of getting along between them could not be changed.

The next morning, after breakfast, the four of them took a bus back to Pingquan Town. After going to the commune to report the situation, they returned to Wangjiagou.

When the captain learned that they had basically accomplished their task, he praised them.

A day later, Ye Yu and Han Jing set out for the county town again with the introduction letter.

Before leaving, Hua Feifei prepared dry food for them on the journey. In addition to mixed-grain cakes and mixed-grain steamed buns, she also brought two cans of spicy cabbage, sauerkraut, and pickled vegetables to go with rice, as well as dried meat, shredded pork, and bacon.

Ye Yu once mentioned a mouthful of meat floss, and Hua Feifei actually made it, but the process was time-consuming and laborious, especially tearing the meat into shreds, which was a test of patience and strength.

"It's quite a workout."

Ye Yu commented like this.

But Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei who were trained knew that Ye Yu was mainly greedy, but what could they do? Hua Feifeiyan had to obey her for the sake of martial arts.

"Really? Sweet and sour pork with pineapple, garlic spare ribs, three fresh vegetables, tiger skin chicken feet..." Ye Yu took the opportunity to list a series of dishes.

"Let's go!" Hua Feifei wanted to fire fireworks to see Ye Yu and Han Jing off.

Han Jing was implicated: "?"

Arriving at the county blower factory, Han Jing and Ye Yu saw the ride they were about to take, as well as its drivers, Master Zhao and Master Chen, who also worked as maintenance workers.

Drivers of this era basically have some simple car repair skills.

Han Jing also steadily demonstrated his enthusiasm and outgoingness, and quickly became familiar with the two masters.

The two masters were surprised to learn that Han Jing had a motor vehicle driver's license. You know, Master Chen had just been converted from a temporary worker to a regular employee and had not yet received the license he applied for.
