Chapter 269 The invitation of the old village chief
After eating fried rice with eggs, Ye Rongyao went back to the front yard to bask in the sun. As for cleaning up the dishes, Ye Rongyao would not do it. Ye Shuting and his girls were eating such delicious fried rice with eggs for free at their home. It was also worth asking them to help wash the dishes.▲∴▲∴,
"Glory, where did you buy the Spring Festival couplet in front of your house? This word is really good!" Ye Rongyao didn't lie on the chair for long, but the old village chief Ye Xianghai walked into the yard and asked.
“I wrote that pair.”
Ye Rongyao said lazily to the old village chief. Although the sun shining on his body in the middle of winter is comfortable, it is also very sleepy.
"What you wrote, when will you write such good calligraphy?" the old village chief looked at Ye Rongyao in surprise and said.
You should know that the brush calligraphy outside is really not very good. From the perspective of a professional like the old village chief, this brush calligraphy must be written by people with decades of experience. It is definitely the brush calligraphy of masters.
Now Ye Rongyao said that he wrote the calligraphy of the brush, how could the old village chief believe that they are all from the same village. Ye Rongyao grew up since he was a child. He didn't know how much he had, but he had never heard anyone say what calligraphy he would write, let alone how well he wrote it.
"I know a lot of things, but you don't know." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
"I really don't understand where you learned so much skills? Why don't I know at all?"
The old village chief felt that he was really unable to see through the boy Ye Rongyao. In the past six months, the boy Ye Rongyao has changed so much that the old village chief felt that Ye Rongyao had a twin brother.
Ye Rongyao is pretending to be a fake, but is this possible? In a village, whoever has given birth to a few children will still make mistakes.
Even if you remember it wrongly, Ye Rongyao's parents would never remember it wrongly that they had a son missing. The old village chief himself denied this possibility.
"I said I learned from an old beggar when I was a child. Do you believe it?"
Ye Rongyao said with a smile. Anyway, he can't explain this matter himself, so he can just let others guess randomly.
"I believe, you tell me now. You are the reincarnation of a god, and I believe it too. It seems that I, the name of the number one calligrapher in the village, is going to be given to you." The old village chief said with a smile.
"No, don't, you should always keep this name yourself. I am a person who is indifferent to the name of nothing, and I don't want this name, I'm so tired."
Ye Rongyao quickly shook his head and said. After all, this title is still undesirable, otherwise people in and outside the village would ask you to write Spring Festival couplets, so you won’t have to worry about leisure during the Chinese New Year in the future.
"What do you say, it's just one word, lazy." The old village chief shook his head helplessly and said.
"Isn't there a saying that lazy people are lucky enough to be lazy, I am that one." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
"That's the case, otherwise how could you get such a beautiful wife?"
Not to mention it. The old village chief Ye Xianghai still agrees with this point. Ye Rongyao is really a lazy person who is lucky to be lazy.
"Old Village Chief, you are not here to come to see me bask in the sun in your busy schedule, right? That would be too bad for me." During the Chinese New Year, Ye Rongyao also joked about the old village chief.
"You kid is getting poorer and poorer, and you dare to make fun of your elders." The old village chief glared at Ye Rongyao and said.
If it were the past, the old village chief said this. Ye Rongyao was really a little scared, but now he is simply undestructive.
"Old village chief, you are the top leader of the village. How dare I make fun of you? Don't be wronged." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
"Okay. I won't talk nonsense to you boy. You and Qingqing will come to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight." said the old village chief.
"Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Village chief, why do you have the New Year's Eve dinner in advance this year?" Ye Rongyao said in confusion.
Most people eat New Year’s Eve dinner on the last day of the old year, and the last day of this year is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, not the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Tomorrow Rongfei will go to his wife's house for the New Year's Eve dinner, so our house will be in advance." said the old village chief Ye Xianghai.
Rong Fei in Ye Xianghai's mouth is his eldest grandson Ye Rongfei, who is Ye Fugui's son. He got married two years ago. His wife's family is from the county town. During the Chinese New Year, she will go home to have New Year's Eve dinner, so during the Chinese New Year, she has to take turns to eat.
In the past, it was the same family for lunch and the same family for dinner. But today, Ye Rongfei, his brother-in-law, was on New Year's Eve, and he wanted to bring a girlfriend home. Ye Rongfei, his wife, as his sister, must go home to help check it out.
So the old village chief’s New Year’s Eve dinner was early to 29. In fact, this is nothing. Many people are like this now. After the Chinese New Year, several families can’t eat it, so they have to queue up for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Some families hold New Year’s Eve dinner from noon on the 28th day of the 12th lunar month and take turns to the evening on New Year’s Eve.
In fact, during the Chinese New Year, it is mainly about reunion. The family has a reunion dinner together, which is more important than anything else. As for the 29th or 30th of the New Year, it is nothing. All we want is the atmosphere.
"It's not appropriate for your family to have the New Year's Eve dinner."
Ye Rongyao shook his head and said. In the countryside, at noon or evening on New Year's Eve, few people visit each other when they have New Year's Eve dinner. They only visit each other when they have almost the same New Year's Eve dinner.
After all, if someone is having a New Year’s Eve dinner, you are an outsider and you will come over. Will someone invite you to sit down for dinner or not? This is very embarrassing to others.
"Whatever you say, please go, just go. Don't say these words to the old village chief, otherwise I will get angry." The old village chief said.
"Okay, the old village chief said so. If I don't go, wouldn't it be too pretentious?" Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
No matter what, the old village chief invited himself to his house for the New Year’s Eve dinner, which is very good to him. Generally, the relationship is not very good, and he will not invite others to his house for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Since the old village chief said so, Ye Rongyao will not be pretentious.
"Okay, don't forget to come early in the evening."
After saying that, the old village chief left. After all, there were still many things to do.
"Brother Rong Yao, I heard my grandfather's voice just now. What is he here?" Ye Shuting walked from the backyard to the front yard and asked Ye Rong Yao.
"Why are the dishes washed?" Ye Rongyao asked.
"Just a few bowls, we can do it in less than a minute. You haven't told me what my grandfather is here to do." Ye Shuting said.
"Your grandfather invited Qingqing and I to your house for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight." Ye Rongyao said with a smile.
