Chapter 204 The Meaning of Returning Home
The consequence of Grandma Ye notifying relatives was that Ye Zhen received constant phone calls.
After much persuasion, Ye Zhen finally stopped and drank a large glass of water. Ye's father and his wife also returned from the town.
He bought a lot of food and came back saying that he wanted to invite Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye to have a meal together.
"No need for that, right? This is too exaggerated. Others will think that I have passed the imperial examination and returned home in glory." Ye Zhen resisted.
"There's really no need. The whole family will be together during the New Year anyway. Can't we just have a good meal together then?"
Ye's mother was unwilling to give up and wanted to call for help, "How is this the same?"
"It's the same. We're all eating anyway. What difference does it make if we come earlier or later? It's more lively then and everyone has time. If you call them back now, they'll be busy. Take my uncle for example. The small factory has a lot of orders during the New Year. It's not worth it to call him back just for a meal."
Ye Zhen held Ye Ma's shoulders and advised, "And my uncle, I heard that Dongzi Seafood is selling well, and my uncle has gone to help. How much trouble is it to have a meal here?"
Ye Zhen felt tired after taking a boat, a bus and then changing buses.
Grandma Ye recovered and made a decision, "Let's get together during the New Year."
The other two men in the family had no objection and just listened.
Grandma Ye thought that the meal could be postponed, but she still had to light some incense, so she hurriedly dragged Mother Ye to the village store and bought a dozen yellow straw papers and a handful of incense.
The two of them burned the paper very reverently, lit the incense, closed their eyes and muttered to themselves.
Ye Zhen was simply stunned.
For real!
"Mom, grandma, feudal superstition is not acceptable!" Ye Zhen advised earnestly. She didn't feel that there was anything supernatural in the house.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had complicated expressions and looked at each other: "To us, you are the greatest miracle in the family."
Before, burning paper and offering incense was just a procedure for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Whether it was pious or not was another matter. Anyway, incense and paper were cheap, and their ancestors had been doing this for generations. Who would have thought that Ye Zhen in their family would have such an adventure?
Now they are the most superstitious and pious people. They should contact their ancestors more often and bless their family with health.
Ye Zhen was speechless and could only remain silent!
…………
In the afternoon, I planted various saplings in the valley and brought down a talisman fruit.
Before entering the door, there was a car parked in the yard. There were several large water tanks on it. The outside was coated and it was difficult to see what was inside. Ye Zhen leaned in to take a look and saw that it was full of various seafood.
There are common clams, scallops and various conches, and in another tank there are various crabs, shrimps and some sea fish.
The seafood was obviously very fresh. Some of them were lying in the water tank, and the sea fish were swimming from time to time. The big black cat and orange cat at home were squatting on the roof with greedy eyes, but they didn't even move when they saw Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was confused and walked into the house, which was very lively.
Uncle Ye and his wife were chatting with Ye's mother and others with rosy faces, and from time to time they lifted up the trouser legs of the young man next to them to show them to everyone.
Grandma Ye was a person who always loved to laugh. With red eyes, she touched the other person's calf. Grandpa Ye, who rarely didn't smoke, stood beside them with his hands shaking with excitement.
A pair of twins were lying on a small square table eating fruit. Ye Yuan was looking at the children and talking to them from time to time.
Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Aunt Ye looked up first, her eyes shining: "Ye Zi, you're back!"
His tone was very enthusiastic. Before Ye Zhen came close, he stood up and pulled her, saying excitedly, "Ye Zi, your brother Dong Zi's leg is healed!"
She was so excited that her face turned red and her voice was incoherent: "Okay! I can walk now, and I will be like a normal person from now on!"
As she spoke, her voice choked up and tears flowed down. She tightly grasped Ye Zhen's hand and said, "I have finally fulfilled my wish. It's worth it even if I die now."
"Ye Zi, your medicine is really effective! Dongzi's calf muscles are no longer atrophied, and his legs are growing flesh and fat again. We took him to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that as long as he takes good care of himself, he can walk like a normal person!"
After she finished speaking, she cried, venting all her sorrow. Her son's legs have always been a concern for her uncle's family. Dongzi has a lame leg and has never been able to find a partner. Her daughter Ye Yuan is divorced and has two granddaughters, so her future is uncertain. Both of them are in poor health, and the pressure of the whole family is on the couple.
Now all the hard work has paid off. Their daughter works in the village collective company, and the two of them earn a lot from farming. Their son can still walk and raises shrimps and crabs with his mother's family. At least they have enough money and their future is bright.
Ye Zhen clapped his hands in understanding, and Grandma Ye wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Why are you crying? This is a great thing!"
"Yes, it's all good, Mom, don't cry." Ye Dong smiled and comforted. He was full of passion and didn't know how to vent it. He looked at Ye Zhen with bright eyes and thanked her gratefully:
"Ye Zi! You are amazing. This medicine is so effective. We are brothers and sisters, so let's not talk about it. From now on, I will take care of your seafood!"
"Yes, it's all covered. This time Dongzi brought back a truckload of seafood, enough for our family to eat. If it's not enough, we can call him and ask him to bring more."
Uncle Ye was in high spirits and started assigning work to his son right away.
Ye Zhen joked with a grin: "Then I will bankrupt Brother Dongzi. If he doesn't have it, I'll ask you for it."
Ye Donghun didn't care and waved his hand, "Eat! Just take whatever I have. If I don't have any, I'll try my best to find it for you."
"I know a lot of seafood farmers now, and I can definitely get you the freshest seafood!"
Ye Zhen smiled. Her family was having a great time. Perhaps this was the meaning of her starting over again.
