Chapter 227 Turtle

The tractor master took the tractor's starting handle, inserted it into the machine hole on the front of the vehicle, and turned it vigorously a few times. The tractor started to make noises, and gray-black exhaust gas came out.

The two children also shouted excitedly, "Oh oh oh ~ we are going to grandma's house, we are going to grandma's house..."

When the tractor passed by the village, Ye Chenghu saw his familiar friends and proudly shouted to them, "We are going to grandma's house on the tractor..."

Ye Yaodong looked at his actions speechlessly. Why didn't he know that his eldest son loved to show off so much when he was a child?

She patted his butt and said, "Sit still, or you will stay and look after the house."

The boy immediately covered his butt and smiled fawningly at his father, then hurriedly sat down.

The tractor swayed along the way and brought up a large amount of dust. He suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. He should have brought a piece of cloth to wrap his head and face. If he just rode a convertible to the destination like this, the whole family would be disgraced.

After thinking about it, he took off his coat and covered the heads of the mother and son to block the wind.

"It's so cold when the wind blows here. Please put on your clothes quickly."

"It's okay. We just need to sit closer together. We can also wrap ourselves up, otherwise the whole family will be disgraced when we get off the bus."

Lin Xiuqing had no choice but to put her eldest son in his arms and hold the younger son on her lap, so that he could wrap one more child up and the whole family could stay warm together.

Both of them think about each other, so their relationship can become increasingly refined.

The speed of the tractor is not much faster than that of the bus. The advantage is that after arriving in Jinjia Town, there is no need to stop and walk, and then continue to Anhe Township.

After entering the village, they took off the clothes covering their heads in order to facilitate Lin Xiuqing's guidance.

Ye Yaodong patted a layer of dust on it before putting his clothes back on.

After the tractor stopped in front of Lin's house, the surrounding neighbors gathered around curiously. They were all surprised when they saw that it was Lin Xiuqing who had returned.

"My dear, Ah Qing, is your man rich? You actually ordered a tractor to deliver it."

"Hey, you, what's this? The sacks and sacks of stuff in the car are packed with people of all ages!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ Are you moving so many things to your parents' house?"

…

The villagers gathered around the tractor curiously, pointing and saying envious words.

When Mother Lin heard the movement at the door, she quickly came out of the house.

They were also surprised when they saw the tractor in front of their house and the neighbors three floors inside and three floors outside. When they saw Ye Yaodong moving a bunch of things from the car, they were even more at a loss.

"Uh, Ah Qing, you came just as you came, why did you bring so many things?"

Mother Lin was afraid that her daughter would take it upon her own initiative to empty the house to fill her parents' house, so she quickly pulled her aside and whispered to her, don't let her bring so many things, so as not to make her son-in-law unhappy.

When she heard that it was Ye Yaodong's idea, Mother Lin felt relieved and smiled broadly. She hurried to greet her son-in-law and helped move the things with a happy face, while also joking with the neighbors.

"Oh, Ah Qing and Dongzi are so filial. I asked someone to deliver a message yesterday, and today they brought so many things to visit. How can we finish the meal..."

My daughter and son-in-law are so proud of her today...

Ye Yaodong smiled and followed him into the house. He was also happy to be able to make them happy.

Seeing Father Lin sitting in a chair with a plaster on, he moved a chair to sit next to him, asked a few concerned questions, and then started chatting again.

It turned out that his brothers-in-law had all gone up the mountain to pick oranges. No wonder only Father Lin and Mother Lin were seen at home, and no one else was seen.

"A Dong, what have you brought here? Why are there so many?" Mother Lin started cooking snacks for them as soon as she entered the house. After cooking, she invited them to eat, and then she had time to look through the things they brought.

"There are half a bag of dried fish and a sack of starfish. Starfish have flooded the pier recently, and they are not worth much. I just collected it in the morning and I will bring you a bag. You can use it to dry it. I also caught some some time ago. Sea snakes, just use a few to soak them in wine. I just soaked them last month. They didn’t last long. It would be better to soak them for a few more months. There are also sea bass and dragonhead fish..."

Father Lin and Mother Lin saw that he was sincere, and there was no displeasure on their faces, and they were very happy in their hearts.

"I just fell off my foot. It's not a big problem. Why do I have to go all the way? It's such a delay. You still have a lot of things at home..."

"There's nothing going on at home. It's getting cold. The wind comes up every three days and I can't go out to sea. I have a lot of free time these days. I originally planned to take the time to deliver the dried fish and sea snake wine, but I just made a quick trip today."

Father Lin said with a red face: "It's not someone else. Don't bring so many things here next time. You can sell what you should sell for money. You don't need to worry about us. We can grow whatever we want in the mountains and there is no shortage of food and drink... …”

"Oh, let's stop chatting now and eat first. Let them eat snacks first, and then talk slowly after eating."

"Yes, yes, you eat first, snacks first."

The son-in-law is a spoiled guest and always has snacks when he goes to his mother-in-law's house.

It's still longevity noodles cooked in rice wine, garnished with fragrant fungus, day lily, shredded pork and the dried shrimp he sent last time. The wine is rich in aroma.

After eating the snacks, Ye Yaodong volunteered to take his eldest son up the mountain to help pick oranges. It was the harvest season for oranges recently. When he stood at the door, he saw yellow fruits all over the mountain.

After Ye Chengyang was left behind, he cried for a long time and took out a whip to scare him before he stopped.

Lin Xiuqing stayed at home to look after the children, chatting with her parents by the way, and told her parents that they had changed to a larger boat. This made them happy, but worried that they would owe money.

She simply explained that she didn't owe money, and they felt relieved...

Ye Yaodong took his bouncing eldest son up the mountain. He had been here last time, so he was familiar with the road.

The long and wide river at the foot of the mountain was also familiar to him. As he walked, he looked at the river. This river came from the water in the mountain. It looked very clear and unpolluted. From the bank, you could clearly see the water under the water. , there is a small group of palm-sized fish swimming.

"It's a bit small. My mother-in-law might not be able to part with the oil for frying." Ye Yaodong looked a little pity.

"Dad, do you want to catch fish?"

"That's what I thought, but I didn't see any big fish. Forget it, it's been a bit cold recently, so it's not suitable to go into the water."

"Dad, catch the turtles, over there, look over there, catch one and bring it back to me to play with."

turtle? Bastard? Turtle? turtle?

Ye Yaodong's eyes shone, "Where, why didn't I see it?"

"There, I saw it had just climbed out of the water and was hiding in the grass there."

Looking in the direction of his eldest son's finger, Ye Yaodong also saw the big tortoise hiding in the grass. Did it climb up to bask in the sun?

There are no lines on this back, and there is a hem on the edge. It is obviously a turtle!

He happily patted his eldest son on the head and praised: "Not bad, his eyes are very good. Wait here and watch me catch a turtle for you and stew it!"

"Ah? Do you want to eat it?"

"This is a big deal, son, wait."

He rolled up his trousers, took off his shoes and climbed down carefully, but when he walked into the grass, he seemed to be surprised. It stretched its neck and looked around warily, and then immediately tried to crawl into the water.

He had already seen it, how could he let it escape?

Ye Yaodong walked three steps at a time, stepped forward quickly, grabbed it when it was about to enter the water, and patted its head happily, "Little boy, you still want to run away!"

The turtle's head was slapped and it immediately shrank in, but its four other turtles couldn't shrink in.

"Wow~ I caught it, I caught it... Dad, give it to me quickly, let me play with it..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and handed the turtle to him and told him not to be bitten. At this moment, Ye Chenghu's eyes widened again and he said happily: "Dad, there is another one in the water."

He turned his head and looked, and there was indeed a round thing swimming in the water behind him, almost climbing to the surface.

"Damn it, good things come in pairs."

He rolled up his sleeves and approached cautiously, only to see that as soon as the turtle swam to the shallow water not far from him, it lay down and embedded itself in the mud, motionless.

Isn't this convenient for him?

Ye Yaodong happily approached slowly. This one was a little silly and didn't move. Fortunately, he watched it swim, otherwise it would be embedded in the mud and wouldn't be obvious.

He put his hand into the mud and repeatedly identified the turtle's head and tail.

The turtle lying in the mud is extremely honest. It probably shrinks its neck out of self-protection and does not bite.

He has experience in catching soft-shell turtles. There are two concavities at the junction of the two hind legs and the abdomen of the soft-shell turtles, which can be grasped with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, and then he lifts the soft-shell turtles out of the water.

The turtle came out of the water, knowing that it was being caught. Its limbs were flailing, its head was twisting, and it bent backwards desperately, trying to bite the hand that caught it.

But it is hindered by its own hard cover, and its rear part happens to be a blind spot. No matter how hard it tries, it is of no avail.

Ye Yaodong grinned and watched it struggling wildly in mid-air. Listening to his son's cheers in his ears, he happily said: "Stew one tonight and leave one for you to play with."

"Okay, okay." Ye Chenghu cheered excitedly.

This one is a little smaller than the one in front. It looks like it only weighs about two pounds. The one in front weighs three pounds. Either one is enough to eat.

I just wanted to go to the mountains to pick oranges, but I didn't expect to get two big bargains.

He conveniently put the mud-covered turtle into the water and washed it. After it was clean, he took it ashore and exchanged it with Ye Chenghu, teaching him to hold the joint between the turtle's two hind legs and the abdomen to prevent it from being caught. Bite.

That one was heavier and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold it well.

Ye Chenghu couldn't bear to leave his eyes, and his happy mouth never closed.

"Dad, these two turtles are so big!"

"It's not a turtle, it's a turtle, it's a turtle. Turtles can't eat it, but this is a great supplement!"

Ye Chenghu seemed to understand, but in his opinion, this was a turtle!
