Is this son-in-law sensible?
They actually carried such heavy stuff this far! Did the sun rise in the west? No goods were sold today; they were all taken home.
Feng Jiafa's purchasing point hasn't opened yet; he's probably still fast asleep in bed.
Besides, he also wanted to save some seafood for his father-in-law and his family to try.
Feng Jiaqing looked at the shipment and was somewhat surprised: "You received so many goods today? And even baby jasmine?"
"I've always been very lucky."
Feng Ye chuckled.
He doesn't intend to tell his secret to anyone, not even his family.
“I’ll pick some to take to my father-in-law. Dad, you can help me deal with the rest. Sell what you can, and air out what you can.”
"Just pick out what you want to sell and put it aside. I'll take it to Ah Fa's shop when I go to work later."
Feng Ye found an empty bucket, poured some seawater into it, and put two large sea bass, two black sea bream, and five small green lobsters into the bucket. He also picked out some prawns, mantis shrimp, blue crabs, and mud crabs.
"Why did you pick out so many? Are these for my parents?"
Ye Qingling happened to come out at that moment and couldn't help but ask a question.
Feng Ye laughed and said, "It's rare for me to go back, so I'll take a little more. Anyway, I caught them myself, so I don't have to spend money to buy them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingling smiled slightly.
What woman doesn't want her husband to be filial to her parents?
"I'll choose the rest. You go take a shower, dinner will be ready soon."
"Okay, sure."
He got up to fetch water, quickly rinsed himself twice at the back of the house, and then went to eat.
The workers hadn't arrived yet, and the dishes weren't all ready, so the couple had no choice but to eat whatever they could find.
While they were eating, Xiao Chunxiu was still cooking and said, "A-Ling, when you go back, please say hello to my in-laws and tell them to come visit the island sometime."
"Yes, Mother."
After dinner, Feng Ye carried a bucket of seafood in one hand and a snakeskin bag in the other, while Ye Qingling carried Feng Xinan. The three of them walked towards the dock.
The burlap sack contained two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor, all bought the day before yesterday, as well as some dried fish that I had sun-dried myself.
Pork and other items should be bought in town to avoid carrying them so far.
Ye Qingling's family home is not near the sea, but in the neighboring Sanhe Town, which is quite troublesome to get there from Baishi Island.
The family of three first took a ferry to the town. Feng Ye bought a few pounds of pork and some pastries, and then went to the town's intersection to wait for a bus.
The bus to Sanhe Town is a county-run urban-rural bus that passes through here. The fare is 50 cents per person, regardless of age.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a dilapidated bus appeared at the end of the road.
Feng Ye waved.
With a screech of brakes, the bus came to a smooth stop in front of him.
Where to?
The door didn't open immediately; instead, a middle-aged woman's head popped out of the window near the door.
Sanhe Town.
"Five cents each."
Then the door was opened from the inside.
After paying 1.5 yuan for the bus fare, the couple casually found two seats and sat down, placing the bucket and snakeskin bag at their feet.
There weren't many people on the bus; it wasn't even full, let alone overcrowded.
These days, unless it's extremely far, people would rather walk than spend money to travel.
If Feng Ye hadn't insisted on taking the car, Ye Qingling would have planned to walk back from town, as she had always done so before.
Having lived through an era where people either rode electric scooters or took cars when going out, how could Feng Ye possibly choose to walk? Not only would it be a waste of time, but it would also be exhausting.
It's not like we're short of money.
The road is not easy to travel on. Although it was once paved, it has been worn down by traffic and is full of potholes of all sizes, so cars can't go fast.
After wandering around for more than half an hour, we finally arrived at Sanhe Town.
If you want to take a vehicle from here on out, you'll have to wait by the roadside for a passing tractor.
Even if you're lucky enough to run into someone, they might not be willing to give you a ride; if you're unlucky, you'll just waste your time waiting.
So, after getting off the bus, Feng Ye carried the things while Ye Qingling held the child, and they walked on foot for the time being.
As we walked, we kept looking to see if we could find a tractor.
Unfortunately, after a difficult journey of almost an hour, and reaching the fork in the road, not a single tractor came up to catch up.
The road ahead isn't wide enough, so we can't rely on tractors.
After walking for another twenty minutes, Feng Ye was so exhausted that he was out of breath, but finally he saw his destination.
Although Feng Ye didn't recognize all the people she met on the road, Ye Qingling recognized them all and greeted them one by one.
Before I even arrived at my father-in-law's house, I saw my father-in-law and his wife busy working in the fields by the roadside.
The couple were both in their early fifties, but they looked like they were over sixty.
Ye Haishan, the father-in-law, was thin but not short, about 1.7 meters tall. He had dark, rough skin with obvious wrinkles on his face, but his features were quite regular.
The mother-in-law, Gao Lianxiang, was also very good-looking, not much shorter than Ye Haishan.
Even though they are old and have worked hard for many years, you can still see their youthful appearance.
Only those with excellent genes could have given birth to such a beautiful daughter as Ye Qingling.
"Father, Mother."
Ye Qingling shouted something towards the field.
Feng Ye called out with some difficulty, "Father, Mother."
It's been so many years since I last called out, I'm actually a little out of sorts for a while.
Ever since he learned of his character, his father-in-law, Ye Haishan, had disliked him, but it wasn't yet the point where he would curse him every time he saw him decades later.
So he simply gave a faint "hmm".
Mother-in-law Gao Lianxiang, however, greeted him with a beaming smile, "Ah Ye is here? It's good that you're here, why did you bring so much stuff?"
As she spoke, she washed her hands and feet in the field and then went ashore, taking the sleeping Feng Xinan from Ye Qingling's arms.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've been here. It's only right."
"Come on, let's go home and rest. You must be exhausted after walking such a long way."
Turning her head, she called out to Ye Haishan in the field, "Your daughter and son-in-law are back. What are you dawdling in the field for? Hurry up and come help us get our things."
"No need, I can do it myself. We came by car, it wasn't far, we're not tired."
How can you complain about being tired in front of your mother-in-law?
After Ye Haishan came up, he expressionlessly took the bucket and snakeskin bag from Feng Ye's hands. Feng Ye politely said a few words that he didn't need them, and then let go of them.
Noticing the weight of the bucket and the snakeskin bag, he looked at Feng Ye in surprise.
Could it be that they're just putting on a show because they're almost home?
He led the way home, thinking to himself that he would have a good talk with his daughter when he got back.
Feng Ye followed silently behind his father-in-law, while Ye Qingling and her mother lagged behind, whispering to each other.
