Chapter 1034: Command (6000 Words, Monthly Vote +8)
Ye Yaodong became angrier as he thought about it.
Although he had been a bit generous in the past, he still knew how to be grateful and filial to his parents, but he was just incompetent, too lazy, and weak-minded. There was no way he could say such things.
"He is trying to trick me into helping their family, or asking me to find a way to get Hiro out. Does he really think that I have extraordinary abilities? Why didn't I know that I was so awesome?"
"Who knows what to think?"
"Ma Le Gobi, I will not be threatened by him. After a while, when the Qingming Festival comes, I will pay homage to my ancestors and tell my ancestors. I will go up to heaven and listen. I am a fool. Am I the one who opened the prison?"
Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to speak when she saw how angry he was.
"I'm not afraid of being beaten to death by the villagers if I release it early. Do you really think that everyone's money is so easy to collect? Whose money is not hard-earned money? How long will it take for everyone to earn five hundred thousand?"
"I didn't see that when Brother Afan came back, he was scolded miserably by the villagers who blocked the door of his house. The brazier was kicked, and feces was poured on the door of the house for several days. It was only after he made various guarantees that things got better. He was all If Hong is released like this, no one will shout and beat him, and he will be beaten to death directly in front of his home."
"You still owe money to my eldest and second brothers. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the whole family is nothing..."
Lin Xiuqing listened to him scolding for a while, but she didn't dare to interrupt or say more. She simply stopped accompanying him and went to cook first.
Ye Yaodong cursed a lot, but when he saw that no one agreed with him or ignored him, he quickly shouted, "What are you doing?"
"Cooking, what else can I do? You scold me, so don't worry about me."
His anger was instantly stuck in the middle, he couldn't swallow it and couldn't let it out, which made him even more depressed.
"Where's the child?"
"Yangyang was scolded by me in the afternoon, and now he is taking the two of them to the workshop to play football."
"Why are you scolding him? Aren't you afraid that he will kick the dried fish over?"
"There were other people in the workshop helping to watch. When he got up and saw the rain stopped, he ran away and disappeared. He didn't come back until after dinner. No one noticed him. He was like a thief and ran around all day long. Sister I don’t know how to help look at it.”
"After the Qingming Festival, I should be able to bring the sheep back and show it to him, so that you won't be displeased with the rest of the family."
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said nothing.
In fact, that's right. Who can be as busy as a spinning top all day long, and yet there are still people sitting around swatting mosquitoes without getting angry?
After Ye Yaodong was angry for a while, after listening to her talk about the child for a while, he also made up his mind to punish her, and most of his anger was gone.
"I'll go to the workshop and take a look. The ground should be dry, right?"
"The ground there is poured with yellow mud and gravel. There will be no mud. It dries quickly. It will be dry by noon. That's why I let them play there to avoid getting them all over again."
After Ye Yaodong responded, he went to the workshop to look around when he had nothing to do.
However, I didn't see them playing with a ball. Instead, I saw several half-grown boys and girls squatting in the corner. They were all familiar faces from nearby neighbors. His two female dolls were also squatting there.
The twin brothers in the workshop were sitting at the door and taking a nap with their backs to the sun. He did not shake them awake, but walked into the group of children out of curiosity.
As a result, I saw a broken earthenware jar among a bunch of children. There were actually a few small shrimps and clams in the earthenware jar? ? ?
If you look closely, you can see that there are flames coming out from under the jar.
play house?
He also knelt down behind them and took a look underneath. There were three short candles as long as little fingers, which they probably stole from home?
"Is it almost ripe?"
"There are three candles. They should be cooked quickly. You can eat them as soon as you open your mouth..."
"Really? Yes, my family always talks when they are familiar with each other..."
"Let's cook sugar tomorrow. This is so slow. I'm already hungry..."
"Yeah, it's so fast to cook sugar in the morning..."
"Don't let me steal the sugar from home again. My mother will find out. You bring the sugar over tomorrow, otherwise I won't cook it for you..."
Ye Yaodong: "???"
Good boy, it turns out you were the one who started this.
"Then will you still be here at your house tomorrow?"
"That won't work. My mother will find out. Let's change the location tomorrow and pick some wild mulberries. Although they are not delicious when they are not ripe, they are delicious when wrapped in sugar..."
"You can also dig up some radishes and grass.
"How delicious is it?"
Ye Yaodong's voice sounded faintly behind them, which frightened them all. They all fell to the ground and ran away quickly.
Only his two female dolls didn't understand why, and they still squatted there and looked at him cutely.
Ye Chengyang put his hands on the ground and panicked, "Dad..."
"Why are you running? You think I'm here to destroy you, but actually I'm here to join you."
Ye Chengyang looked at his father in surprise, and saw that he didn't seem angry or scolding, so he slowly calmed down.
"Dad, why did you squat behind us without making any sound?"
"Come and join you. Seeing that you are all squatting, I squatted too, just to see what you are doing?"
Ye Chengyang looked at his father with a confused face.
"Can this be cooked?"
"It's almost ripe. You can see the color of the shrimp has changed."
"Where are the chopsticks? Do you have any chopsticks? Turn them over so they cook faster."
Ye Chengyang quickly handed the two thick branches in his hands to his father, then looked at him carefully and asked, "Aren't you going to scold me?"
"Why should I scold you?"
He pointed with his index finger at the pile of earthen jars in front of him.
"Isn't this very smart? You know how to cook at the age of 6. You won't be able to cook on the stove in two years. And you didn't go to the weeds or the mountains to do it. Here. Corner."
Ye Chengyang immediately grinned, "Hehe..."
"There are mulberries on the mountain so early now?"
"They were so greedy that they picked a lot of the ones that were still green."
"So you just boil it and wrap it in sugar and eat it? You guys are pretty good at it?"
"Hey Hey……"
Ye Yaodong knocked him on the head and said, "You can't play with fire, especially in the grass or on the mountain, you know."
"knew."
"Gaga is ripe...";
He turned the shrimp over with chopsticks and watched as the clam opened its mouth bit by bit.
Ye Chengyang also said excitedly: "It's ready when you open your mouth."
"It's hard to cook this broken crock pot slice. It's too thick. You should use an empty fish can. It's easier to cook it."
"Dad, have you ever done this?"
"How is that possible? When I was a kid, I had nothing. I ate everything raw. How can I be so particular like you? You even cook it with candles. If my mother finds out, her hands will be cut off."
All the children ran away, which happened to be a bargain for three of his family.
Ye Yaodong had been out all afternoon and was actually hungry, but this little food was not enough to fill his teeth. He served the three ancestors on the side and fed them one bite at a time.
The unhappy mood at home just now was instantly cured by the three little cubs.
"More~More~"
After Ye Xiaoxi finished taking a bite, he swallowed it down and asked for more without even watching her chew.
"Take turns, one bite at a time, chew..."
The twins had had enough sleep and woke up listening to the soft sound. Then they looked at the corner, one big and three small, in surprise.
They walked over curiously, and then squatted next to them, "Brother Dong..."
Ye Yaodong was startled, "Are you ghosts? You don't make any sound when you walk."
"Ah? Yes."
Ye Chengyang said with a smile: "Dad, you were the same way just now."
"Brother Dong, are you also playing house with them?"
"Sleep well, did you? You didn't even know a thief came in and put rat poison."
"Uh...hehe, I fell asleep in the sun..."
Both of them were a little embarrassed.
"If I don't do this next time, I will deduct your money directly if I find you sleeping at work."
"Okay, I won't do it next time."
"Be optimistic. There is another one who hates me this morning. Don't let anyone mess with you. If one of you doesn't like me and lets others mess with you, you don't have to do it."
"We must be optimistic about it..."
"Brother Dong, do you still want to cook? Let's go dig some more on the beach?"
"Again? Did you get this for them?"
"Uh... Yangyang asked us to help look after these two. He took a group of children to dig on the beach."
Ye Yaodong flicked Ye Chengyang's forehead again, "Your mother told you to watch, but you turned around and gave your two sisters to others, and ran off to play with yourself."
"Dad, I want more, I want more~"
Ye Xiaoxi looked longingly at the few shrimps lying on the pot.
"Are you so hungry? Why do I think you've gained weight again?"
He stretched out his hand and pinched the flesh on her face. It felt like her face was becoming more and more like a big pie. The flesh was almost hanging down and so soft that it could be compared to Pei Yu's slapped face.
I don’t know how Pei Yu’s child eats. He is so skinny.
Maybe it's because his parents are not around and he hasn't been drinking breast milk for that long. There is no difference between him and other children, but next to Ye Xiaoxi, the comparison is particularly obvious.
"Eat less and save two bites for Xiaoyu."
"Then I'll eat candy!"
"Don't bargain. You can take one bite each of the last two. Brother, don't eat. Just go home after eating."
"Uh-huh."
The two little girls were satisfied and nodded happily.
After Ye Yaodong blew out the candles, he still held one in each arm.
Ye Chengyang still looked at the small stove he made in front of him reluctantly, "Dad, twin brothers, don't kick this away, we will use it tomorrow."
"Stop playing. Play with something else tomorrow. I'll throw this away later. Children can't play with fire. Just play with it today."
He turned back three times with each step, watching with pity, and finally ran home quickly at Ye Yaodong's urging.
The two little girls in my arms, you scratched me, I scratched you, they giggled and twisted around while playing with each other.
"Don't move...it's going to fall, it's going to fall..."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the door with a smile, "I'm about to ask you to come back for dinner. I don't have anything to do today so I'll eat early."
"Where's Chenghu?"
"Send him to his hometown to ask his parents to come over for dinner."
"Oh, let's eat early. I happen to be hungry too."
After it cleared up, it continued to clear up for several days, and the weather got warmer day by day, with the temperature rising sharply. It dropped by 20 degrees in the first two days, and then rose again in the past two days. However, the spring breeze blew the earth and the waves did not stop.
Without going out to sea, the men in the village did not idle around. They were all taking care of their little private land. The vegetables that were not eaten in the winter were also uprooted, and those that should be marinated were marinated and those that should be dried in the sun.
Their family had plowed their yard a few days ago, but the area on the slope at the back door was too large, so they hadn't started plowing yet, and they had been working on it for the past two days.
I originally planted a large field of mustard greens, but most of them have been cut down in the past two days. Taking advantage of the good weather, I spread them out in the yard to dry according to the old lady's request. The old lady wanted to dry all the mustard greens and then pickle them. pickle.
Not to mention how big each mustard green was, each one was taller than Ye Xiaoxiren and weighed at least four or five kilograms. She couldn't even drag her.
At this time, she and Pei Yu were dragging the vegetables there, and the little ones had already started to help with the work.
Ye Yaodong has been working for two days in a row. After dinner in the morning, he and his father took the hoe to chop vegetables on the soil slope and turned over the soil.
The mustard greens are difficult to chop with a kitchen knife. It is extremely laborious to chop. The thick heads are bigger than an adult's fist. You have to use a hoe to remove the roots step by step.
"The mustard rice fried last night was quite delicious. How about continuing to eat mustard rice for lunch? Let Ah Qing buy some pork belly."
"You figure it out yourself."
"Today is the 28th. Do we have to wait until Qingming Festival to sweep the tomb? In the past two days, people have been going to sweep the tomb in advance."
"It depends on the weather. It's been a bit stormy these two days. You probably want to go visit the grave while you have free time, so as not to run out of time later. I'm too lazy to go to your eldest uncle's and second uncle's house to ask them when they will visit the grave. I'll wait for them to come to me on their own. , I didn’t come to the door, so let’s wait until the Qingming Festival to clean again. Your aunt should also go to the grave with us this year.”
"Um."
"Don't cut them all down. Leave a few of them there and eat them slowly in the next few days. I don't have enough seeds on hand. I will go to my hometown later to transplant some watermelon seedlings. The ones sown some time ago have already sprouted. , after a rain, it jumped up quite high."
Ye Yaodong responded, then cut down another oversized mustard green, and then shouted to Ye Xiaoxi at the foot of the hillside: "Come and help."
"coming……"
She and Pei Yu were feeding the big white goose vegetables and leaves, but after hearing this, they immediately ran forward and waited.
After Ye Yaodong checked the position underneath, he threw the mustard leaves down. The two sisters immediately bent down and grabbed a handful of mustard leaves and dragged them around. However, a big goose saw the green leaves and ran over to peck at them.
"Go away, disgusting~"
"Come again, go away~"
"Go away~"
The two sisters were very annoyed with the goose that was surrounding them and kept waving their hands to drive it away. However, after the goose was waved aside, it persevered and swung up to attack and peck at the leaves.
Ye Xiaoxi drove her away for a long time to no avail. She stamped her foot angrily and glared at the big white goose with her hands on her hips.
"Go away! You're angry!"
The big white goose remained unmoved and continued to eat.
Only this one came over to eat. The remaining two geese had already gone elsewhere to graze. The green grass after the rain had appeared one after another in the past two days, and it was especially fresh and tender.
"If you don't behave, I'll beat you!"
She put her hands on her hips and shouted for a while, but it was of no use. Then she got angry and slapped the goose on the head, turning its head to the side.
The goose turned around and wanted to peck her, but she slapped it again and screamed loudly.
"Hit you, beat you, and if you don't behave, I'll beat you!"
Ye Yaodong had just finished cutting down another tree. When he looked up, he saw a fight between humans and geese. Ye Xiaoxi kept slapping the goose. The goose didn't know if it was stunned by her, and it just turned its head around. Even though he was being slapped, he kept stretching his neck.
Ye Xiaoxi was out of breath after a few hits, and then without any martial ethics, he directly called for help, preparing to fight two against one.
"Sister, sister, hit it, if it doesn't behave you'll get hit!"
Pei Yu was originally dragging a mustard green and watched dumbly as she fought with the goose. When she was told to join in, she immediately dropped the vegetable and went up to pinch its mouth, shouting and beating it...
Ye Xiaoxi was so exhausted that she sat down on the ground and took a few breaths. However, seeing the goose twisting and turning and almost breaking free from Pei Yu's hand, she quickly got up again, hit the goose's head several times with her little fist, and then continued to ride on it. Goose, keep spanking it.
"Spank your ass, spank your ass..."
Ye Yaodong stared at him and kept laughing, "Fuck, are these two girls so good at movies?"
"What?"
Father Ye turned around in confusion and smiled, "When adults see geese, they stay far away and don't dare to get close, lest they be chased by geese. Big geese are very painful, but for such a small child, Don’t be afraid of heaven or earth.”
"They are also raised by themselves, so they will be familiar with each other. They are not like strangers, so they pressed and beat them. They also had no idea of being afraid of this goose, so they held their little fists and started doing it."
Pei Yu grabbed the goose's mouth with her two small hands to prevent it from opening, but after a while, she was swung by the goose and broke away. Upon seeing this, Ye Xiaoxi immediately gave up spanking and pinched the goose's neck with both hands.
"Don't bite~hurt~not well-behaved~"
The big goose kept twisting its neck, swaying back and forth in place, and running around. Ye Xiaoxi was so frightened that he almost lost his seat and could only hug its neck.
"Mom~Mother~Help~Help~"
Ye Yaodong was speechless and could only jump down the hillside, then picked her up from the big goose, picked up Pei Yu with one hand and carried both of them back to the back door home.
"These two dogs are so courageous that they even dare to hunt geese. It will be time for you to cry for father and mother later."
"Bai Bai is not good... he eats secretly..."
Pei Yu nodded in agreement.
"Then let's kill him and have him stir-fry at night?"
"No!" She immediately objected fiercely and ran to the back door, spreading her hands to block the door. "You can't eat in vain. It's wrong. Don't dare~"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Seeing that her father didn't respond, her mouth flattened and tears almost fell, "Wow~ Wuwuwuwu, you can't eat it~ You can't eat it~ It's wrong~ Wuwuwu~"
"I'll go... Are you crying just now? You beat me so fiercely just now, and now you can't bear to let go?"
"It knew it was wrong."
Ye Yaodong looked at her with joy and imitated her flat mouth when speaking, "So it is still your good partner, right?"
Ye Xiaoxi nodded heavily.
He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the red tears in her eyes, "Okay, then I won't eat. If I don't eat, you can go in and play by yourself. I don't need your help."
"Cai Cai..." Tears were still hanging on her eyelids, and she was still thinking about the vegetables on the ground.
"I'll carry the basket myself."
She pursed her lips and nodded with sobs.
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but picked up the cabbage on the ground, put it in the basket in the corner, and moved it to the hillside. He also put the one he just cut down into the basket, and he and his father would carry it later. Just go down.
The two girls also stopped watching the film temporarily, sitting in rows on the threshold of the back door, watching them working on the dirt slope not far in front of them.
The old lady was tearing off the leaves of the cabbage one by one at the door, and hanging them flat on the wall to dry.
After the father and son finished all the work on the hillside, they carried a large basket full of Lao Gao's vegetables to the door for her to wash and dry.
"It's nothing to do with me, right? It's nothing to do with me. I'll go back to my hometown."
"Why are you in a hurry? You have nothing to do anyway. Peel the vegetables and let me dry them in the water before hanging them up to dry."
"Who said I'm idle? I haven't cut the bamboo into pieces yet..."
"Why are you so anxious? Don't you have to wait for the bamboo to dry? I ask you to do a little thing, and I push it back and forth. You want to go back before you finish it. You think about being lazy every day, so hurry up and help."
"Why don't you just ask Dongzi to do such a thing? He has a lot of free time, so just let him do it. Why do you have to do it for me? I'm busy."
"There are so many dried fish drying in the workshop. He is much busier than you. He just does it when he asks you to do it. He talks so much. Why, he is old and useless, so he can no longer ask you to do it."
The old lady took the crutch leaning against the corner and hit Father Ye's leg.
Father Ye glared at her angrily, then turned to glare at Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong looked innocent and touched his nose, "I went to work in the workshop. It's been sunny these days. I'll see if there's anything that can be dried and harvested today. If so, I'll harvest it early."
Father Ye had no choice but to stay and peel the vegetable leaves for the old lady, and then put them in the water and hang them on the wall to dry. After everything was done, he wanted to pat his butt and left, but the old lady quickly stopped him again with a cane. Down.
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry... There are also these mustard cores. Go get a knife and peel off the outer skin. I'll fry up a bowl for lunch later. Don't waste it. There are so many. Peel them into quarters. Fry five of them into a bowl at noon, and peel the rest in the evening or when you want to eat them tomorrow, so they won’t go bad.”
Father Ye had no choice but to go into the house to get a knife and cut it for her.
The old lady also followed the house and took out the radio. She sat next to him and read again, "In the evening, I will also empty the toilet. The weather is getting hot, so I have to empty it more frequently. Please help me more..."
Father Ye frowned and glanced at the old lady with a depressed expression.
"Alas~"
"Why are you sighing? Anyway, you have nothing to do, so you can help a little bit. They are both very busy."
"Alas~"
The old lady hit him again with a cane and said, "Don't sigh, otherwise all your good luck will be lost."
"Aren't you also free? Aren't you able to get things done just by sitting there?"
"I can't help you anymore? Then you can leave."
Alas~
