Chapter 25 Uninvited guests come to the door
Jiang Yu wiped An An, and Ye Fei fooled him for a while before saying.
"I'll go dig some bamboo shoots later and come back to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots and celebrate An An's birthday well."
Seeing that he had just rested for a while and was going to work again, Jiang Yu couldn't help but persuade him.
"It's okay, the food at home is enough."
After hesitating, Jiang Yu said again.
"It's not impossible if you want to go digging. I was thinking how about asking our dad and brother and sister-in-law to come over for a meal?"
Since the separation of the family, my brother, sister-in-law and father have said that they don't care about Ye Fei's life or death.
But every time, when Ye Fei was not at home, he would bring some food to her and An An, so that the two of them did not starve to death.
Help when you are down can always be remembered for a long time.
Jiang Yu has always felt bad about Ye Fei stealing his brother's and sister-in-law's money to buy livestock.
Now that Ye Fei is on the right track, she also wants her elders to see that the man she married, Jiang Yu, is not a coward.
After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Ye Fei was also stunned for a moment.
Recalling the stupid things I did in the past, I felt full of guilt for my brother and sister-in-law.
Every long talk was in the hope that he would wake up, but in the past he only felt nagging and didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Then I'll dig more and we'll have a good meal."
Ye Fei agreed with Jiang Yu's suggestion and took this opportunity to repair the relationship with his brother and sister-in-law.
After saying that, he strode away.
Jiang Yu quickly shouted: "Pay attention to safety and don't go to the back mountain again."
Ye Fei turned around and grinned.
"good!"
Having said that, as soon as Ye Fei went out, he went straight to the foot of the back mountain with a clear goal.
When passing by the fields, every household was busy plowing and weeding.
After all, the seedlings will be planted soon, and it involves a year's rations of food and livelihood. We don't dare to be careless. We have brought everything we can at home.
But Ye Fei, a laborer, appeared in front of everyone, which immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some people.
The child wanted to play, but his parents grabbed his ears and dragged him into the field.
He was so angry that he didn't want to work, so he started to imitate a hero with a piece of grass in his mouth.
Seeing Ye Fei's leisurely appearance, he couldn't help but complain.
"I really don't know why you are so anxious. Look at Brother Ye Fei. He hasn't done much work all year round. He's not living a good life."
After the child's words were heard by the adults on the side, he raised his hand and slapped him, and immediately cursed.
"If you don't study well all day long, you will learn to eat well and be lazy to do this."
"Why, do you still want to compete with him?"
"If you have the ability, try being his son!"
Other people working in the fields were amused by these remarks.
"Zhuzi, you really have to believe your father's words. If you become Ye Fei's son, you will starve to death."
"Well, don't you believe it? When I passed by his house a few days ago, I heard his daughter crying from hunger. It was so miserable."
"It's just that, that girl in his family is so hungry that she doesn't even have a few ounces of meat in her body. She doesn't even know if she can survive."
"..."
A group of people were busy in the fields and had nothing to do to kill time. They could only talk about some gossip to refresh themselves.
The children were frightened by the adults' words. Of course they had seen An An's appearance before, but they didn't expect that he was hungry.
Due to the pressure from adults, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and reluctantly joined the busy ranks.
As for everyone's unabashed discussion, Ye Fei, who was passing by, naturally listened to it.
If it were him in the past, he would definitely rush up and have a good "argument" with the person in the lead.
But now, his mentality is completely different, and he can deal with such things calmly.
Because these people have nothing to do with him, their mouths are on people, and he can't stop them.
What’s more, there’s nothing wrong with what these people said.
After all, he was as miserable as they said in the past.
Ye Fei walked slowly to the foot of the back mountain, where there was lush vegetation next to the river, and there were many pheasants and wild ducks.
He just tied up his sleeves and went inside, feeling no less than a dozen pheasant and duck eggs.
Eggs are very valuable these days.
Every household raises chickens. They only eat chickens when they are too old and can no longer lay eggs. The eggs they usually collect are sold for money.
Even women in confinement can only eat one or two.
But as for the wild ducks and wild eggs in the reed swamp, everyone only dared to think about it and did not dare to go in.
An An likes to eat eggs, so I’ll take care of them today.
There are many toon trees on the side, which are lush and green, and the small buds that were there before have spread out in just two days.
Ye Fei gave up the idea of picking chun buds. They were not delicious when they were old, so he might as well eat crispy bamboo shoots.
There are a lot of mushrooms in the woods, and the stew is not to mention delicious.
Ye Fei worked hard and managed to find most of the bag.
Don't think it's much now, but when it dries, two-thirds of it won't even weigh as much.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yu was still waiting for him at home to ask his brother to have dinner.
When Ye Fei saw that he had enough to eat tonight, he stopped looking and walked back home.
Along the way, everyone was still busy, but it seemed that Ye Fei was an idle person.
Ye Fei didn't say hello to anyone else and hurried home briskly.
Before I even reached the door of my house, I saw someone standing in front of my house from a distance, showing off.
Looking carefully, Ye Fei's face sank.
That's Ye Gui, his good uncle.
Jiang Yu used gravel to build a small plot of land at the door, where he usually grows vegetables.
Watching Ye Fei go out, Jiang Yu originally thought about sorting out the land so that he could plant something.
An An is very sensible, sitting quietly aside, not crying or making trouble, and even helping Jiang Yu weed.
The two of them were working hard when they were spotted by Ye Gui, who was coming back from the fields.
"I heard that you went to the county seat today?"
I don't know who said it, but Jiang Yu thought it was nothing and nodded.
An An didn't like her grandfather at all, who hadn't liked her much since she was a child. She just hid behind Jiang Yu and poked her little head out to look at him timidly.
Unexpectedly, Ye Gui seemed to have found something to talk about. He held a hoe and lectured Jiang Yu non-stop.
"Daughter-in-law Ye Fei, I'm not telling you that you dare to use the money you got from that bastard boy. If you are caught breaking the law, it will be embarrassing for our whole village. You said you don't know how to take care of it."
Ye Gui stood in front of him, looking confident and confident. The more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and his words became more and more unpleasant.
"Our old Ye family will be completely disgraced by you!"
"There is nothing wrong with a person with sound limbs. He insists on doing some sneaky things. You are his wife, so why don't you know how to advise him?"
"Seeing him go astray will affect my child's future. Don't blame me for turning against me. What's the use of being a female child? Let's see how we develop."
The more Ye Gui talked, the more excited he became, and the more he put on his airs.
It was as if he was Ye Fei's biological father, his voice made him want the whole village to come and take a look.
His son had always been very successful in school, but he looked down upon Ye Fei's daughter.
