The men were talking in the main room, while the women outside started working on dinner together.
The dinner in the fishing village naturally uses various seafood as the main ingredient.
Spring is the time when marine animals are the thinnest, similar to wild animals on land. They have just gone through the long winter and all the fat in their bodies has been consumed.
The seafood in this season is the least delicious.
Of course, this is the least delicious and is only for those who are picky foodies. Most ordinary people don't care about this.
If you eat some, you will be very happy.
Although Yujiawan, Yu Qingyang’s hometown, is poor, there is no way to compare.
Compared with the villages near Yuan City, it is very poor, but compared with the villages in southwestern Shandong, it is quite affordable.
The same goes for the road into the village, which is a gravel road that has been built for nearly 20 years.
It is maintained by dedicated personnel every day. Although it is not as easy to walk as the road and has some bumps, at least there are no big potholes.
The only bad thing is that because it is on the seaside, the land is eroded by sea water and is somewhat salinized.
The land is not so fertile and the crops are not producing well.
However, Yujiawan has made a living by fishing for generations, and their desire for land is not that strong.
This is also the fundamental reason why Yu Qingyang’s grandfathers were landlords but were eventually classified as rich peasants.
That's too far.
In addition to freshly caught seafood, there is also beef, mutton, and pork bought from the market.
Rural people are honest. When entertaining guests, they naturally need to use good things. In their opinion, beef and mutton are good things that they would never give up.
"Fusheng, have you retired?"
"Yes! I quit at the end of last year! How else would I have time to come back?
It’s been five or six years since I came back!”
"I'm retired. I'll come back often in the future. Can I stay longer this time?"
"I will definitely come back often. When I come back this time, I don't plan to leave in a hurry!
I’ve been away from home all these years and I miss home! Sometimes I think about it, it’s still comfortable to sleep on the kang!”
In rural areas of Yuandu, people also sleep on fire beds.
However, now young people are more particular and don't like the hard stove, so most of them have been converted into beds, which is still comfortable for Simmons to sleep on.
While the old man was talking, Yu Qingyang stood behind his father and looked around at the old house.
Because it is located along the coast, the environment is humid and the water vapor also contains a lot of salt.
The sea breeze and the water vapor brought by the sea breeze can greatly corrode buildings.
Therefore, in an old house like this, the frames, columns, beams and other structures are all made of large timber, and even the walls are made of a mixture of timber and green bricks.
Wood can very well prevent seawater corrosion. Especially after anti-corrosion treatment, it can not only resist sea breeze and seawater corrosion, but also be waterproof and keep the room dry.
The most valuable thing about this old house is probably these big timbers.
Don’t get me wrong, there are no high-end mahogany such as golden nan, small-leaf rosewood, and Hainan huanghuali.
In the past, golden nan, small-leaf rosewood, and Hainan huanghuali were used by royal families. If they were used by ordinary people, it would be a serious crime to behead.
Yu Qingyang's ancestors were not that rebellious, so the beams, columns, corridors, and walls of the old house were all made of cypress.
The furniture in the old house is made of elm wood.
So furniture is the most valuable.
Thanks to the fact that this is a remote rural area, the furniture in the old house is all made of heavy elm wood, so it can be preserved.
In the previous life, the furniture of this old house was sold by Yu Qingyang, and the part that only belonged to Yu Qingyang was exchanged for two buildings in Quanshui.
"Does Yangzi have a partner?" The old people were talking and brought the topic to Yu Qingyang.
"We're still talking about it, and we'll finalize it in a while!" Dad said with a smile.
"That's good. What does Yoko's partner do?"
"He's a doctor, working in the provincial hospital!"
"The doctor is great! Yoko is good-looking, and she is a college student, so she has found a good partner!"
In the eyes of Chinese people, being a doctor is a very honorable job.
Everyone agreed with envy, so much so that there was no jealousy or anything, they were just happy for Yu Qingyang.
When it comes to envy, what they envy is not that the person they are looking for is a doctor, but that Yu Qingyang is a college student.
A college student in the village was Yu Qingyang's uncle, and he brought Yu Qingyang's father to the city.
Now the second college student is Yu Qingyang, who has found a doctor as a partner.
In their view, only college students can find good candidates like doctors.
Some old people are thinking in their hearts that they should go home and chat with their grandchildren. See, only if they go to school well will they be able to attend and find doctors from big hospitals.
The old people gathered together and chatted, there was no fixed topic, they just talked about whatever came to mind.
"Wenying's life is better now! The Lou family is now building a large road, making it easier to enter the city!" Yu Fushan said with emotion and envy.
"My sister and others are repairing the road? When will it be repaired in our village? It's time for our road to be repaired too!" Dad said casually.
"Yes, the Lou family is really great now. They have a high-ranking official, who seems to be the director of some department!
The superiors allocated money to the Lou family to build a major road!
There can be a main road more than ten meters wide!
The Lou family is getting ready..." Yu Fuhai said enviously.
Yu Fuhai is Yu Qingyang's cousin.
Qiji is a term used in rural areas. It means that the village has agreed to build a market at a certain place.
Yu Qingyang once met Qiji, which was very lively.
It was similar to a temple fair. The village spent money to hire a troupe and circus to sing at the newly established market. They sang for a week.
The purpose of hiring theater troupes and circuses is to gather popularity. Only when the popularity increases can this market be built.
"If you don't go to school, Lou Laosan, I will fight with him next time!
People have been admitted to university and are now department directors!" The person who said this was an old man in his fifties.
His name is Yu Qingfeng, he is a cousin of Yu Qingyang who has not been in the fifth server.
When Yu Qingfeng mentioned college students, he glanced at Yu Qingyang's uncle subconsciously.
When Yu Qingfeng saw this, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.
In the eyes of the villagers, Yu Qingyang's uncle is also a high official.
Although no one said it out loud, Yu Qingfeng glanced at Yu Fusheng subconsciously, and many people in the room became silent.
It can be seen that everyone still has some opinions on Yu Qingyang's uncle.
They are all college students, and they are all high-ranking officials. They allocate funds to the village to build roads. What have you done for the village?
No one said this to his face, but he couldn't help but discuss it in private.
Of course, my relatives in my hometown are still very down-to-earth. Although they complain a little in their hearts, they are still enthusiastic about the uncle.
I still regard the uncle as the pride of the village.
Yu Fusheng could naturally feel the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the room.
I also know why.
I feel a little sad in my heart, yes!
Lou Chengliang of the Lou family built roads in the village. What did he do for the village?
"Alas! It's all because of my incompetence! I haven't done anything to help the village in these years!" Yu Fusheng sighed and said apologetically.
