Chapter 319 Going up the Mountain
After the goods were sold out, he walked back with his father.
When they got home, for fear of scaring their children, the father and son went to the back door to wash their faces before going back to the house to eat.
As soon as Ye's mother came back, she marinated the squid while it was fresh. The whole room was filled with the aroma of marinated squid. Before it was even out of the pot, the two children gathered around asking questions.
"Go, go, don't stand around the stove all day and get in the way. You've just finished eating, so why do you ask? Save it for tomorrow to prepare with rice and let it soak overnight to taste better."
"But it's very fragrant. When can it be marinated?"
"It's not good anymore, I have to wait for tomorrow."
…
Lin Guangyuan sat at the table, holding his chin and asked Ye Yaodong, "Sister-in-law, how was your harvest today? Did you come back with a full harvest?"
"almost."
"What did you catch?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? You don't know even if I tell you, and it's too far to take you there!"
"That's the same thing again. My sister-in-law said the same thing today." Lin Guangyuan said with curiosity and flattery, "Sister-in-law, do you still have a shortage of people to work on the ship?"
"You're still young, let's wait until you're older."
"Alas~"
"Did you go to the beach today?"
"I went and picked up some sandworms and a few cat's-eye snails. This snail is really interesting. The flesh on the head is so big that it shrinks inward and becomes smaller when it shrinks. We shot it Put it in a small bucket of sea water, and soon the meat on its head will slowly come out, just like a sand clam."
"I'll take you to the mountains tomorrow!"
Lin Guangyuan said without interest: "What fun is there in the mountains? There are so many of us that I don't want to play anymore. I have been running in the mountains since I was a child. I just want to go to the beach."
"You're already at the beach."
"Dad, my cousin doesn't want to go to the mountains, I'll go with you!" When Ye Chenghu heard that he was going to the mountains to play, he stopped hanging around the stove and ran over immediately.
"I'm going too!" Ye Chengyang also followed.
"Well, sure, you all go and let your cousin look after the house!"
"Ah~" Lin Guangyuan wailed, "Forget it, I will reluctantly go with you, otherwise they will all go to school and I will be the only one left. It will not be fun and I will have no company to go to the beach."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him and said nothing, just waiting for his words.
There are many people doing more work, and the two young ones can only contribute to the job, but there are still many people to do the work, so the labor sent to the door must be fully utilized.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to use it anymore after you leave in a few days!
Mother Ye looked at the pile of firewood behind her and there wasn't much firewood left. "It just so happens that we don't have any more firewood at home. Let's chop some more firewood and come back tomorrow."
"Um."
After hearing this instruction, Lin Guangyuan always felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He regretted it when he was dug up and headed up the mountain early the next morning.
It had rained the night before, and there was mud everywhere on the mountain. The mud under his feet was thicker than the soles of his shoes and was still slippery.
Every time he lifted his feet, he felt it was difficult, and he didn't even have rain boots like them.
"Sister-in-law, is it still too late for me to go down the mountain now?"
Ye Yaodong shook the machete in his hand, "What do you think?"
Lin Guangyuan looked at the knife in his hand and swallowed, "Why do I think we didn't come up the mountain to have fun?"
….
"I originally wanted to take you to the mountains to play, but aren't you happy? My mother just happened to ask me to chop down trees, so let's chop down trees. Remember to work hard for me."
"I knew it!"
I was fooled. If I had known it yesterday, I wouldn't have said that I would follow.
It was obviously the right thing to refuse at first!
Alas, what a mistake!
"You know what? You know. Walk faster. You are dragging your feet like a bitch. You are the slowest."
Lin Guangyuan glared at Ye Chenghu, who was sitting on Father Ye's shoulders and was gloating about his misfortune, and cursed in his heart: The ground was wet this morning, so he didn't take Ye Chengyang with him. He and Ye Chenghu were the only ones to follow. Wasn't he the slowest?
As he walked, he wiped the red mud off the soles of his feet in the grass nearby, then looked around and saw the fruitful yellow-orange loquat trees on both sides of the mountain, and he felt itchy to pick them.
He has a home at home, but that doesn't stop him from picking things outside, right? What's more, he hasn't eaten loquat in a year.
He had long forgotten that yesterday he was still saying that the mountains were no longer fun.
He saw that there were many bayberry trees not far away that were glowing red. Before they turned dark, he already felt sour in his mouth and salivated.
There are also a few scattered peach trees, and the pointed ends are all red. I feel sorry for myself if I don’t pick them...
Ye Chenghu also shouted excitedly, "The loquats are ripe, the peaches are ripe, and there are also red plums. Dad... Grandpa... we will pick them later..."
"It's not ours. We don't have any fruit trees at home."
"Sister-in-law, you have a lot of fruit trees planted on your mountain, right?"
"It's not bad. They are all hard-working people. A family can just plant two or three trees to feed their children. It's not like you people over there who specialize in planting fruit trees."

"My father said that if you rely on the mountains, you need the mountains, and if you rely on the sea, you need the sea. We have mountains, so we can only plant trees."
Father Ye spotted a spot with many trees and stopped, "That's it. I'll cut the branches and you pick them up. You two, don't run around. If you are caught randomly picking fruits, you will be beaten. I will take you there after cutting the firewood." Picking wild peaches.”
"Okay, okay, I like to eat wild peaches."
Lin Guangyuan looked like he didn't need his help, so he wandered around, picking up some dead branches. He couldn't really do nothing after all, since he was used to doing it at home anyway.
But he didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he discovered something good, "Sister-in-law, there are a lot of bamboo shoots here, and they are just a little bit sharp."
"Where, where?" Ye Chenghu heard the sound and ran over excitedly, "There are really bamboo shoots, pull them out quickly..."
He had already started directly and even pulled one out.
After Ye Yaodong made a pile of firewood, he also ran over and took a look, "Young man, there are quite a few of them. They are all over the place. I leave this job to you. Pull them all back. Don't let go if you see them."
"Okay, I promise to complete the mission." Lin Guangyuan happily asked for a military salute.
Ye Yaodong touched his pocket, took out a sack, shook it, and handed it to them.
This is a good habit of his!
He had originally planned to use it to store wild peaches. Now that he had gone up the mountain, how could he just chop wood?
….
You have to go home with something to eat on time, there are so many mouths at home.
"Dad, why do you always have sacks in your pocket?"
"Be prepared, work quickly, pull out more, and eat fried meat with bamboo shoots at night."
"ah?"
Both of them touched their buttocks in unison, and they were gone in an instant.
Lin Guangyuan muttered: "What's the point of fried pork with bamboo shoots..."
Ye Chenghu also echoed, "That's right..."
"Pull it out, stir-fried pickles are also delicious."
"Then I still like fried meat."
"Okay, follow me tonight. You want to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots."
"Hmph~"
The two of them were bickering and pulling bamboo shoots, which was not boring.
Ye Yaodong also wanted to pull out bamboo shoots, but he didn't finish the business. If he ran away, it would be his father's turn to treat him to fried meat with bamboo shoots.
He piled the cut branches high and tied them up.
He took out another straw rope and laid it on the ground, and continued to put the branches on it.
The cart couldn't be pushed up the mountain, and they were worried about being stolen at the foot of the mountain, so they didn't push it out. They planned to carry the firewood down the mountain and put it on the roadside before going back to push the cart.
After working for three hours, I only tied up six or seven piles. It was not enough, but it was almost dinner time and it was almost time to call it a day.
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands. Seeing that his father was going to chop down a small tree, he asked him to do it slowly. He went to find the two boys first.
The two boys had already plucked all the bamboo shoots in that patch, and the sacks were full. But where were the people going now?
He walked around and saw no one. He only saw a sack of bamboo shoots and could only shout their names.
"Lin Guangyuan! Ye Chenghu!"
"Lin Guangyuan! Ye Chenghu! Where did you die?"
Seeing that no one answered him, he had no choice but to walk to the roadside, shouting as he walked.
He didn't know whether they were going up or down, so he went down first to try his luck, and his voice became louder and louder.
At this moment, two boys suddenly emerged from under the plum tree nearby, and they booed at him...
"Shh~ Dad, stop shouting, don't attract people."
"You ran out without saying a word. How many did you pick?"
"The pockets are too small, so I wear the jacket inside out. You see..."
Ye Yaodong patted his head, picked up one and wiped it on his body, while saying: "You did a good job, but don't do it next time. If someone gets caught, I will kill my relatives out of justice!"
"I understand, this is called teaching your son in front of others and teaching your wife by your pillow! In fact, brother-in-law, you also want to pick it secretly, I know!"
Ye Yaodong took a bite of the red plum. The sour and crisp taste made him immediately narrow his eyes. After he recovered, he flicked Lin Guangyuan's forehead.
"I haven't studied for a few years, but I know a lot."
"Dad, take off your clothes and put them on, and I'll take off some more."
"These plums are a bit sour. I suggest you go over there and pick loquats!"
"Hahaha~"
"You're laughing!" Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. None of these boys were cute.
"I knew you were this kind of person, brother-in-law!"
"Give me the plums and go to work quickly. When your grandfather finishes cutting down the trees, we will go back to eat."
"knew."
After the boy poured all the plums into Ye Yaodong's place, he immediately ran away. Time was running out!
Ye Yaodong walked back while holding a bag of plums and chewing them. Maybe they were more familiar with them than him on this mountain and couldn't throw them away.
When Father Ye saw him coming back, he asked, "Where are those two?"
"I went to pick loquats."
"Loquats don't taste good after the rain."
"It's better than nothing, right? For those kids, everything tastes delicious, and there's nothing that doesn't taste good."
"Pick less and don't get caught."
"It's okay, just give him a beating and he'll be fine."
Father Ye glanced at him but didn't say anything. How can a child not be greedy?
Who has not been kicked out?
"Go and bring them back. Take them to pick wild peaches. I will go back after cutting down this tree."
"Okay, where is the wild peach tree?"
Father Ye pointed him in a direction and said, "There are two trees over there. They have been growing for many years."
"knew."
