Chapter 204 Literacy Class

After returning home, Lin Xiuqing said: "I think my little sister's wedding is going to be soon. Do we have to buy her something as a dowry?"

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said nothing.

He had no objection to buying something for his little sister as a dowry, but it was a bit awkward for him to have his friend turn into a brother-in-law, and he always felt like his family's cabbage was being taken over by the pig.

Being taken away so easily makes me feel a little unwilling.

She looked at his reaction in amusement, "You said that if you have a daughter in the future, will you do the same?"

Ye Yaodong frowned even more tightly now, feeling even more unhappy.

"Have a son?"

Lin Xiuqing laughed and rolled her eyes at him, "You say a son is a son, and a daughter is a daughter? Two sons are enough. They are so naughty and mischievous all day long that my hands hurt."

"Then you don't have to fight!" Ye Chenghu interrupted depressedly.

Lin Xiuqing poked his forehead with her index finger, "If you are good, don't make trouble, and don't get dirty every day, will I beat you?"

"Father said, a person who is motionless is a fool? I'm not a fool!"

"You're still talking back!"

Ye Chenghu took two steps back when he saw this, "Dad said that!"

Ye Chengyang also cleverly retreated...

Ye Yaodong touched his nose and said nothing...

Lin Xiuqing looked at the two or three in distress, feeling that none of them were worried.

"I'm going to get water. You three should take off your clothes and pants for me, wash your feet and go to bed."

OK

The father and son sat in rows beside the bed, waiting!

Lin Xiuqing came in with a basin of water and felt even more heartbroken when she saw the three people looking at her with exactly the same expressions.

"Didn't I tell you to take off your clothes and pants?"

"A man as big as dad can't move. If mom has to wait for her to take off her clothes, we can't do it ourselves." The brave and fearless Ye Chenghu said matter-of-factly.

Lin Xiuqing suddenly felt a little pain in her head, "Where is the whip?"

He bounced up quickly, "Huh? No! I'll take it off right away!"

Ye Chengyang, who had always followed his brother's lead, also stood up and pulled on his clothes and trousers in a hurry. Then instead of taking off his clothes and trousers, he pulled off a button.

His heart tightened, he held the button, looked at his mother with an innocent face, shrank his neck, and hid next to his brother...

"Don't even try to hide behind me." Ye Chenghu gloated and hid quickly.

Lin Xiuqing sighed, put away the buttons in his hand, and helped him take off his clothes and pants, "I told my brother to take it off himself but I didn't ask you to take it off? I'll sew it up for you later."

She is too young to be spanked, otherwise her hands will be itchy.

From left to right, after washing the faces of the three of them and taking off their clothes and pants, she poured the water from the washbasin into the footbath, "The two of them sat on the small stools and stretched out their feet. Go into the basin."

There were three pairs of feet in a basin. You stepped on me and I stepped on you. Water splashed all over the floor. Lin Xiuqing rubbed their feet and splashed all over her face. She almost exploded with anger.

She slapped her hard twice without any mercy, "Be honest with me."

Ye Yaodong looked at his legs that were red from being slapped innocently. He suspected that his wife did it on purpose. He obviously didn't move at all.

But, he didn't dare to say anything, he was beaten even if he was beaten.

Maybe it's because he doesn't move?

After wiping all three pairs of feet clean, Lin Xiuqing straightened up and asked, "Why do I feel like I have raised three sons?"

"Yes, that's right, just raise me as your son!"

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and went to pour the water for washing her feet. She was too lazy to talk to him, "You three, get some sleep!"

"We can't sleep without you!"

"We can't sleep without you!"

"Can't sleep..."

The two sons also laughed and echoed.

Lin Xiuqing had a headache and ignored them. She didn't want to pay attention to them anymore...

Ye Yaodong looked at her helpless look happily, then instructed his eldest son to turn off the lights, and then asked the two of them to lie down. They both chattered excitedly about watching a movie at night.

"Dad, will you continue taking us to the movies tomorrow?"

"Didn't you see enough today?"

"Well, the movie is so good."

"My hands hurt and I can't hold you. Your mother can't hold you either. I can't go. Next time I'll take you to the cinema in town. The movies there are better. The cinema is very big. It's not the open-air one we watch at night." .”

"Really?"

The two children's attention was immediately diverted by his coaxing, and they kept asking what the cinema looked like.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to patiently tell them about the cinema. He still knew this.

The two children fell asleep while listening as if they were listening to a story, and Ye Yaodong also fell asleep.

After Lin Xiuqing cleaned herself up and came in, she found that everyone was asleep and breathed a sigh of relief. Of course it would be better if she didn't need to be coaxed to sleep.

"A Dong?"

"Um."

"Apply tea oil before going to sleep."

"Um."

He had no choice but to cheer up and sit up again.

After spending two days leisurely at home, Ye Yaodong looked like he would be able to get the payment today.

This was a lot of money. He and his wife had been thinking about it for several days. Of course, they had to put the money into their own pockets before they could rest assured.

He deliberately waited until after dinner in the evening, thinking that almost everyone else had received the payment, then he went to A Guang's house to ask if they had taken the money and how much they paid for it. After understanding it, he brought the receipt to A Cai's house to get the money. .

He is very kind and never bothers others by asking for money early in the morning.

Not only is it taboo for businessmen, but most people also hate it when someone comes to ask for money early in the morning. This is obviously annoying.

It's a good time to settle accounts after dinner, and take my wife for a walk.

After dealing with him for so long, Ah Cai didn't dare to trick him. As soon as he passed, he made up for the missing unit price on the receipt, which was the same as the selling price of A Guang's family.

According to Ah Cai, this was the purchase price that day, and everyone had the same price. He also said that if he was worried, he could ask around.

Ye Yaodong was happy in his heart, but his face was still tense. He rolled his eyes, shook the bill, and just said, "More more."

He doesn’t talk much, but he is very lively!

Ah Cai was so depressed that his liver ached, but there was nothing he could do about his scoundrel, this bastard! There is no time to talk.

"1836 yuan and 60 cents, I'll give you 1850 yuan, don't give me any more nagging."

"Okay, don't look so sad. Based on our relationship, who is following whom? I know you are making a lot of money, so I won't tell anyone."

"Oh, it's not easy to make some money from you."

"It's not easy anymore. You can't be too picky as a person. Hello, me, everyone."

"Am I being picky? I'm a businessman..."

"So women are cheating!"

Ah Cai was speechless and glared at him, but he had no choice but to shut up, dipped his fingers in some saliva, and then began to count the great unity.

Lin Xiuqing became happier as she listened. It turned out that the bastard had this advantage and could sell it for a little more than others.

After ordering a stack of 100 bills, he put it on the table, and then took out the money to order.

After the second stack was counted, he handed it to Ye Yaodong. When he was about to reach out and take it with a smile, he deliberately hit his hand with money.

"Is this something you can reach for?"

Then he handed the money to Lin Xiuqing.

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and ignored him. He reached for the money on the table and counted it.

After checking with his wife twice and seeing that everything was fine, he smiled and pulled out two cigarettes for her, put his arm around his shoulders for a while, and then went back.

Lin Xiuqing laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.

Ye Yaodong held her little hand and said with a smile: "Are you so happy?"

"Of course, the cost of our new ship is almost back."

"Well, it should be enough to pay the fine, right?"

"Can't you just make me happy?"

"It's worth being happy! There are still a few months left, and we won't have to worry about not being able to pay each other. Do you want to buy you a watch to celebrate?"

Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "Have you been thinking about how to spend money all day? You just bought a sewing machine, and you want to buy a watch again? You already have one and why don't you buy it."

"That one is for men, and you can't bring it with you, otherwise I'll give it to you. I'm telling you seriously, just buy one? More than a hundred dollars is enough..."

"No, I don't want it. Is it enough that I have a sewing machine?"

"Then buy a radio so you can listen to the radio at home?"

Lin Xiuqing twisted the flesh on his waist and rotated it 90 degrees...

"Hey~ ok, ok, don't buy it, don't buy it, whatever you say will happen..."

"I'll go to literacy class tomorrow so I don't have to look at my eyesore at home all day long."

"I didn't know who was saying this before? You look forward to me at home every day, preferably not going anywhere, and now you think I'm an eyesore? Women are really fickle..."

"You still say?"

"Ah, stop talking, stop talking, please look carefully and your hand hurts..."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't hold back any longer and was laughed at by him...

This guy……

irritating……

The literacy class in Dongqiao Village is held in the village primary school and is held in the evening to take care of the workers, farmers, fishermen and women who have to work during the day. It is also free.

Ye Yaodong walked to Dongqiao Village after dinner the next evening as if he were taking a walk. Various slogans were printed on the houses on the roadside, such as "Good health and good education, boys and girls alike."

"You can't make money for ten years, but you can't go without reading books for a day."

"Don't marry an illiterate wife, don't marry an illiterate man."

…

After walking to the village primary school, there were quite a lot of people in the class. Looking at the men, women, and children of different ages inside, he didn’t bring a pen or paper because his hands were inconvenient. His hands were empty, and he looked around shamelessly before walking to the corner. sit down.

After a while, a young man came and sat down next to him. He looked at his empty table and asked him curiously.

Ye Yaodong only said that his hands were inconvenient, and the other party didn't ask any more questions.

After getting started, Ye Yaodong also chatted with him about opening some literacy classes. He found out that the teacher of this literacy class was an unmarried lesbian and a part-time primary school teacher. He was not a teacher who knew a few words in the village before.

So there are especially many males in this class...

After a while, the teacher from the literacy class also came. This teacher was also interesting. She wrote a bunch of words on the blackboard. Then Ye Yaodong was dumbfounded when he heard her teaching.

"Crab, these two complicated words are called crab. You take a pen and paper and write them down one by one on the paper. Then read them several times when you go back."

"Squid...octopus...white shrimp...squid...Today's task is to learn these words."

Ye Yaodong listened to her read every word on the blackboard, and couldn't help but poke his brother beside him who was copying carefully.

"Comrade, does this female teacher teach such complicated things?"

"No, it's because you came late. We first learned 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... ninety, population, upper, middle and lower, size, weight, horse, cow and sheepskin..."

His deskmate was kind enough to show him the words he had recorded earlier.

"Last week I recognized cabbage, potatoes, radishes, cucumbers..."

"Last week I recognized a hoe, a sickle, a kitchen knife..."

"It's getting harder little by little. This week I asked how to write about some common seafood. After all, we are close to the sea..."

Ye Yaodong nodded. It made sense. He was late.

He read it several times with great interest, then listened to the female teacher analyze the strokes, and then asked them to practice several more times on paper.

In fact, these words are quite impressive to him. After all, he has been dealing with seafood for most of his life, and some words are also impressive, but they are not as clearly printed in his mind as now, and he can't write them.

A class lasts only an hour. After all, they are all illiterate. If they learn too many words at once, they will not be able to remember them. It is already very good to be able to recognize five words and ten characters in one day.

After class, the gay men in the class took the opportunity to talk to the female teacher named Zhou and tease her. After Ye Yaodong was not interested and exchanged names with his classmates, he left.

After returning home, Lin Xiuqing saw his happy face and asked curiously, "Did you find the money?"

"No." Ye Yaodong told her what the teacher taught in the evening, and Lin Xiuqing was also happy.

"Are you hungry? Are you greedy?"

"Hahaha~ During the day, the eldest brother and the second brother came back from collecting the cages. There were two blue crabs. Did you stew them at night? You eat meat, just let me drink the soup."

Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "There is only soup. The two children have almost eaten all the meat."

"I'm just saying it. Just drink the soup."

After attending literacy classes for several days, Ye Yaodong really knew all the words for seafood, but he couldn't write. After all, he hadn't picked up a pen yet, and those words were too complicated.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he just wants to be able to recognize it. Whether he can write or not is not very important.

After his hand got much better, he struggled to copy all the words he had recognized during this period on paper.
