Chapter 234 Going Home

Not long after he came back, his two brothers-in-law also came back with a group of children, bringing with them a lot of harvest.

As soon as Lin Xianghui entered the house, he immediately took out the two pearls in his pocket and showed them to his family, which made everyone open their mouths in shock.

"I was lucky. Unexpectedly, when I picked out a river mussel, I actually pulled out two pearls. Later, Xiangyang and I picked out many more, but there were none."

He was all smiles and his excitement was palpable.

Father Lin, Mother Lin and Sister-in-law Lin were overjoyed. Isn't this a good thing like pie in the sky? They really found a treasure.

Sister-in-law Lin didn't feel disappointed either. She also had a smile on her face. She also looked at the harvest in the baskets and buckets surrounded by the children behind her.

"Young~ there are so many wild ducks? How did you catch them? These things are not easy to catch. Who caught them all? Your little uncle?"

Lin Guangyuan said excitedly: "My uncle taught us how to catch two at first, but we caught them all ourselves after that."

"It's so awesome. How many can we catch?"

"Eight."

"Mom, let's kill the duck and stew it tonight, right?"

"If you want fried food, I want to eat fried food!"

"I want to eat stew, I want to drink soup..."

"I want to eat duck fried with dried radish slices..."

A group of half-grown children, everyone has different opinions and is noisy.

Mother Lin had a headache and yelled quickly, "Don't make any noise. I'll stew one and fry one tonight."

Only then did they have nothing to say, and everyone was immediately satisfied.

"There are also river shrimps and more than a dozen fish. Mom, you can take care of them. Use the river clams to stew tofu soup, stir-fry a bowl of river clams, and let some children knock the snails."

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, half of the table was filled with seafood he brought, but today half of the table was filled with fresh food from the river.

River delicacies also have the flavor of river delicacies, which is different from seafood. Ye Yaodong is not picky. He thinks river delicacies are also delicious and delicious.

He only ate one bowl of the pot of wild duck soup to replenish energy. The old turtle soup the day before had enough energy to replenish his energy, and he was afraid that it would be full.

On the other hand, he thought the stir-fried bowl was more to his taste. A lot of old ginger was put in to remove the smell, and freshly dried radish slices were stir-fried together. It tasted particularly chewy.

After having enough wine and food, Ye Yaodong was helped back to the house by being half-drunk. In the past two days, because we had to pick oranges, we had to go up the mountain at dawn. The whole family did not dare to drink too much, and they only opened up to drink tonight during dinner.

Several men in the family were also half drunk, but the next morning, all of them got up in high spirits.

When Ye Yaodong got up, he happened to see them pushing the cart out and quickly asked them what they were doing.

"Go harvest the sweet potatoes. It's time to harvest the sweet potatoes in the fields."

Mother Lin said quickly: "You are just resting at home. You have been here for two or three days, and you have been helping with the work, and you have never sat down to rest."

"It's okay. I don't have anything to do at home. Dad's legs and feet are inconvenient. I can do whatever I can to help."

The smile on Mother Lin's face has not stopped in the past two days, "Don't be in a hurry. You can do the work slowly and harvest the sweet potatoes slowly. It doesn't matter. You can just play at home..."

Play? Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly, he was unfamiliar with the place, where could he go to play? There are dirt roads and mud-roofed houses everywhere, pure primitive countryside, and not even a scene. It is better to go to the fields to help with some work and build a good impression.

He didn't refute. After washing up and having a simple breakfast, he chatted for a few words and then went to the fields. The Lin family's land was also at the foot of the mountain. When he walked over, he saw two men wielding hoes. The brother-in-law and his wife knew they had found it.

They were hoeing sweet potatoes. After hoeing a ridge, the two sisters-in-law went to pick them up one by one into the basket. Then they collected all the sweet potato vines and put them on the cart. These were to be taken back to feed the pigs.

When everyone saw Ye Yaodong coming, they all smiled and said hello, "Why are you here too?"

"There's nothing to do after eating, just being idle is also idle."

This is indeed the truth. If you are not sitting around chatting awkwardly with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you might as well go out and do some work.

The two brothers and sisters-in-law of the Lin family also have a better and better impression of Ye Yaodong. They used to think that all kinds of bad things about him, including the fact that the little sister was blind, seemed to be their delusions.

After Ye Yaodong helped with the moving and lifting work for another half a day, when he went back to have lunch, he also went back to the house to discuss with Lin Xiuqing that it was time to go back the next day.

They also visited those who needed to visit, and picked all the oranges that needed to be picked. There was endless work in the fields, so they were not in a hurry anyway, so they just worked slowly.

A three or four-day stay would be enough, but it would not be enough for them to live in their own home for too many days without anyone watching.

Lin Xiuqing thought the same way, "I told my mother in the morning that we will go back tomorrow. Are you tired? You said you were coming back to visit my father, but you ended up having to work for several days."

"Then you will compensate me?"

It's okay to do some work, but for a son-in-law, it would be better if he could take the opportunity to ask for a reward and make people feel sorry for him.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily and patted the bed beside her, "Then sit down and I'll give you a shoulder squeeze."

"okay."

Ye Yaodong happily sat down next to her, feeling her weak and boneless hands kneading his shoulders, feeling that the pain from carrying the burden in the morning was gone.

"Comfortable ~ use a little harder ~ use a little harder ~"

"Is that so?"

"Yeah~ Yes~ That's it~ Yeah~ It's great~ Comfortable~"

Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and enjoyed her rare gentle service.

"A little further down..."

Lin Xiuqing pressed down obediently, and kneaded and pressed her entire back for him. He was so happy that he closed his eyes.

As a result, one hand stopped after a while, and he wasn't even happy enough.

"Wife?"

"My hands are sore."

"Then let me rub it for you instead?"

Ye Yaodong had just started, and as soon as the two of them got close to each other, they heard Mother Lin calling Lin Xiuqing outside the house. She suddenly looked a little guilty and immediately stood up and walked out.

His arms were suddenly empty. He sighed regretfully and lay down directly. He put his hands on his head, raised his feet and looked at the top of the bed. This pregnancy lasted ten months, which was really difficult.

He counted it on his fingers. It seemed like only four months had passed? Or the fifth month? Mad, I don’t know how to calculate it either.

Alas, there are no VCDs or short movies...

He had a lot of wild thoughts in his mind, but he didn't expect to fall asleep. He didn't know when there was a little person beside him.

It wasn't until he woke up at three in the afternoon that he realized that he had used his youngest son as a pillow and slept with it behind his head. No wonder he felt quite comfortable.

My son still has some use.

He got up gently, covered him with a quilt, and then walked outside.

At this time, Mother Lin was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Ye Yaodong stood at the door and stretched, watching his mother-in-law take out bags and jars of things and put them on the stove. He was muttering about what was in his hand, and then said that he would take it back to them.

He saw that there were a lot of bottles and cans, and said quickly: "Mom, why are you rummaging through boxes and cabinets again? Bring us back everything you don't need. There is no shortage of food at home. Just carry a bag of grapefruit and a bag of bitter oranges. Half a bag is enough..."

"Oh, it's a rare trip. Why don't you use it? These are all dried radish that my family can't finish eating. Look at the dried radish. I have a sack of dried radish at home. I won't be able to finish it until next year. And the sour bamboo shoots, The day lilies and dried lettuce were pickled in the past few months... I have so many at home that I can’t finish them all..."

Father Lin also smiled and said: "We only have vegetables in the countryside, not much good stuff. In the past two days, we will slowly harvest sweet potatoes again. When the harvest is completed, they will be cut into shreds and dried in the sun, and they will be used for cooking. I’ll bring some sweet potato starch back to you when you celebrate Chinese New Year..."

Mother Lin also echoed, "Yes, yes, they are all grown at home. They dried a lot and couldn't finish them all. Can you pack a sack of sweet potatoes and take them home tomorrow?"

In the past, the families were not divided and they got less. Now that the families are divided, everyone lives their own lives. Mother Lin wants them to take a share of everything back.

"Ah, no, no, no, we have already planted them at home and can harvest them. You don't need to bring them with you. You can keep them for yourself..."

Ye Yaodong waved his hands repeatedly and even brought sweet potatoes. He couldn't bear it to death?

"Bring a few more of those pumpkins. Have you finished the ones you brought back last time? There are still a bunch of them at home..."

Mother Lin said that she was going to move pumpkins to the woodshed nearby.

Pumpkin is heavier...

Lin Xiuqing also said: "There are still pumpkins at home, mother, you don't have to pretend..."

"Bring a few more and eat slowly..."

The couple couldn't resist their hospitality and could only watch Mother Lin busy rummaging through things.

Early the next morning, a tractor was parked in front of Lin's house. It made a clicking sound, attracting a group of neighbors. Everyone came out to watch the fun and say hello.

"Your son-in-law is going home? Why don't you call him a tractor?"

"Young...are you asking for a tractor to be sent back again? It's a tractor when you come here, and it's a tractor when you leave. Your son-in-law's condition is so good? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much does this trip cost?"

"I'm so willing to give it up..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Isn't it because my father-in-law and mother-in-law are too enthusiastic? You see, there are so many big and small bags prepared. They insist on asking us to take them back. We don't even think about it. The two adults brought them again." How can I get it with two children? There was no push cart when we came here. The children’s legs can’t walk this long way, so why don’t we just ask for a tractor to save trouble?”

This was because he persuaded Ah Qing last night to ask her to ask for a tractor, otherwise how would they have gotten it? There were several sacks there, and each sack of pumpkin weighed hundreds of kilograms.

The province is the province, the flowers are the flowers.

After saying this, he went to carry the things, regardless of what the people next to him said.

They were all full and idle, and they liked to join in on any noise from the neighbors.

The two brothers-in-law also helped him put the sacks of things that Mother Lin had packed up in advance onto the tractor. Even the wild ducks he caught the day before yesterday were put in two sacks for them to take back.

Looking back, my father-in-law and his family were so enthusiastic, and Ye Yaodong felt embarrassed when he insisted on letting them take away all the big and small things. Fortunately, he brought a lot of overseas goods when he came, otherwise he would really be in trouble.

Ye Chenghu looked at his old cousins ​​and was a little reluctant to leave. Grandma's house was so fun, with people eating and playing, and he kept talking all day long.

"Next time you go to my house to play. I will take you to the beach to dig for clams."

"Okay, you can come over and play again next time."

"Well, I will definitely come back. You have to protect your bastard from being eaten, and I will also protect mine from being eaten by my father."

Ye Yaodong heard him babbling non-stop and directly carried him onto the tractor.

After saying a brief farewell to the Lin family, he let the tractor set off.
