Chapter 824 Planting a Seed
Good things come in vain. I don’t know who invented this idiom.
Ye Yaodong looked at the patter of rain outside, and the words "good things come to an end" came to his mind. It's better to have good things come to him, otherwise he would be even more depressed.
At night, he was awakened by the sudden patter of rain outside the house, and then he had to lie back down to sleep.
It didn't stop raining when I woke up early in the morning, it was still dripping.
Now we have to wait again, damn it!
Why can't it just go smoothly? If the right time and place are right, let him quickly pick it up and open it to see what it is?
It feels like the needle of luck has turned to Ah Guang. Everything this kid does now is getting smoother and smoother. Making a fortune is so easy. He can pick up a large yellow croaker weighing more than 30 kilograms casually, and he is still making twists and turns.
But while waiting to eat, he turned around and thought, maybe he was holding back his ultimate move. The harder it was to get, the more important it might be.
Thinking like this, he was happy again. Sooner or later, it would all be his, and if it was a few days later, it would be a few days later, so what did it matter.
Mother Ye could not help but complain when she saw that he had a stinky face for a while, and then smiled happily for a while. The expression on his face changed during the meal.
"What do you think of? It's like a child's face, sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny."
"Ah? Nothing?" Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's sideways eyes and said, "You eat your own food, what do you think?"
"Look at how good you look."
"You just realized now that you are so good at giving birth?"
Mother Ye pursed her lips and glanced at him up and down with disdain, then withdrew her eyes, too lazy to answer his words, and ate her own food.
He is used to kicking his nose and face.
Ye Yaodong didn't care either, he was used to his mother's disgust anyway.
On a rainy day, it’s just suitable to lie down and sleep at home. It’s better not to be on the weekend. Early in the morning, just after breakfast, a group of children cheering came over to watch TV. It was more punctual than the alarm clock. .
But it was raining outside, and they had nowhere to go. They stayed at home and watched TV. They didn't go out to play in the water and be naughty. It was okay to come back dirty.
"The cherries on the mountain have been ripe recently. If it rains, they will probably fall to the ground..."
Ye Chenghai's eyes lit up. The cherries his mother bought for Mazu a few days ago were pink and tender, sour and sweet and delicious.
"Uncle Third, are you going to take us up the mountain to pick cherries?"
"Will it cause you to be beaten?"
"It's okay, I'm not afraid!"
"Would that delay your TV viewing?"
He hesitated this time?
Ye Chenghe said innocently: "Uncle Third, can you pick it up and share it with us?"
"Can you pick it up and share it with me?"
Want to eat shit?
Ye Chenghai patted Ye Chenghe on the head, "Are you dreaming?"
He dared not speak out in anger, for fear that the two of them would fight and be kicked out together later.
Ye Yaodong also thought that the cherries he bought a few days ago were quite delicious. Thinking of the heavy rain at night, they probably fell to the ground. When it clears up, he doesn't know if there will be any left.
Nowadays, there are still people who grow these little pink ones, only the size of a fingernail. In the future, everyone will respect cherries.
In fact, he felt that cherries were not very delicious, they were just fleshy and thick, and the taste was not as good as the local pink cherries, which were sour, sweet and cherry-flavored.
But the ones that have just rained probably won’t taste good. When it’s sunny, you can ask Lin Xiuqing to buy some for him to take on board.
Whoever wants to pick it up is not a child.
If you have nothing to do, you can take it to pick and play on a sunny day.
However, he didn't pick it. When the rain stopped after lunch, Aguang brought a basket over.
"Eh? Where did you come from, and you gave such a big basket generously! That's right, I just made a fortune a few days ago, so you should be filial to your uncle."
"Last year, Huimei was pregnant and said she wanted to eat cherries. It was just after the Chinese New Year. Where should I go to find them for her? Small saplings can't be planted so quickly, so I had to go to someone else and move two and a half saplings back. "
"I didn't expect that there were no results last year, but this year they did. It rained at night and they fell on the ground. I went to pick up a basket early in the morning. You can decide what to do and give one point to the eldest brother and the second brother."
Ye Yaodong picked it up and weighed it, "There's no need to divide it. The mouths of both families are almost grown in my house. This basket is probably enough for them to make in one day."
"Well, it's up to you. By the way, when will you go to the border guard station again?"
"I'm a little embarrassed to always go there. People don't set up stalls to sell things. I can only go there to give gifts or when I have something to do. By the way, it's not a good idea to go straight to the door to buy things. What are you doing? What do you want to buy?"
"Hehe, I also want to buy a TV... There is no work here. Sitting at home all day long is too idle. Just listening to the radio is not enough."
"Then you go to...oh...the supply and marketing cooperative is too expensive, and you may not be able to buy it. I heard you have to queue up."
I almost asked him to find Lin Ji.
"That's it, the supply and marketing cooperative is very expensive. Lin Laoliu bought one for 450 yuan. I heard that you only bought it for 300 yuan. I was so angry that I stamped my feet and scolded him for his black heart."
"Let's see next time. If we really go, I'll call you to join us."
"All right."
Aguang's visit also reminded him that he had to go to the county maritime safety bureau to deliver something to Director Chen, otherwise he would be too ignorant to delay for too long.
,
It just so happened that I could stop by the shipyard to see if his ship had started being built.
Things have been happening one after another recently. As soon as I got the boat, I immediately went out to catch the flood season. As soon as the flood season ended, I went on a Mazu cruise. Then I had shoulder pain for a few days. As soon as I took a rest and went out to sea, I found a box on the bottom of the sea again.
I was busy non-stop, and it was hard to go out on rainy days. After it cleared up, I picked up the box and took a day off to go to the county town.
You can also go into the water on a sunny day and see if you can find some abalone, sea cucumber, lobster, etc., and send them to others, which would be more respectable.
As soon as he sent A Guang away, he originally wanted to ask A Qing to take the cherries to be washed, but he looked at a bunch of obsessed people in front of the TV, all of them without blinking, so he had to go alone.
When it came out, everyone rushed to grab a handful and asked where it came from.
I'm sorry Aguang came here in such a big way just now, but no one saw it?
"Uncle Third, did you just go to the mountain to pick it up?"
"Are you dreaming?"
"Where did that come from?"
"Your uncle is so pitiful. He is such a big living person and no one can see him."
Lin Xiuqing was also confused, "He just came here? Oh... the TV series just now was so good, I was fascinated by it."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. How could she not be fascinated by this?
Since buying it, she has seen it the most fiercely.
As soon as it was time for her to cook and do some work, she would turn off the TV and not allow others to watch it, saying it was too hot and she needed to take a rest. And when she is done with her work, she will turn on the TV again after she has had enough rest!
A perfect double standard!
How loud the opposition was back then, how slapped in the face now!
"Eat it, it's no one else, come here and give me a cherry, say a few words and leave."
"Then do you want to get some for them next door? There are so many in this basket..."
Ye Yaodong nodded at the pile of carrots in front of him, "The mouths next door are all here, what should I give you?"
Ye Chenghe also shouted, "No need to send it away, we will eat it here."
"Don't your parents need to eat?"
"No, we'll eat for them."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and shook her head, letting them go.
Ye Yaodong also grabbed a large handful, stuffed it into his mouth, and then spit out a seed like a pea shooter.
Although it fell due to rain, the sun has been shining for the past few days, so it was quite delicious.
"Dad, let's grow cherries too, right? Just use these seeds?"
Ye Chengyang held a handful of seeds and was reluctant to throw them away. They all vomited all over the floor.
"I don't know how to grow your own kind."
"Okay, then I'll take it to the back door and plant it later!"
"I want it too, I want to plant it too!"
"I plant it too!"
All of them suddenly became excited and clamored to plant them. They just spit out the seeds all over the ground and picked them up one by one again.
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly walked up to Ye Yaodong, then took his hand and turned his palm over.
"What are you doing? Do you want to give dad some cherries?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxi spat into his palm...
The bitten cherries mixed with cherry seeds and saliva were lying in the palm of his hand...
"Plant, plant~"
He was happy too early...
"Do you know what everyone is talking about?"
She tilted her head and stared blankly.
Ye Yaodong patted her head and didn't dislike it. He picked out the seeds and threw the pulp directly to the ground. He took a rag and wiped his palms casually, and then walked towards the back door.
But after a while he went into the house again, mixed the moist soil from the stove, and then buried the cherry seed.
After all, it was given to him by his daughter, and he was asked to plant it. Whether it will sprout next depends on God's will!
If this can be planted, when the children grow up, they will be proud to tell it.
The other children were watching TV and eating cherries. They didn't know what he was doing in and out, and they didn't think about it. They had no time. They were busy, but they all held a handful of seeds intact in their hands.
I don’t know how busy each of them will be later, or whether they will be beaten again.
After spending two days comfortably at home, Ye Yaodong saw the sunset suddenly appearing on the horizon in the evening, and the stars that appeared in the night sky.
"It's going to be sunny~"
He was sitting alone on the rocking chair at the door, looking at the sky and saying this. After the news broadcast started at 7 o'clock, he moved into the house.
Fortunately, there was nothing available in the past two days, and I didn't dry the fish. I gave it to my mother to ferment the fish sauce, so I didn't have to worry about it.
Father Ye sat in the room, staring at the TV screen, listening to the weather forecast.
He didn't say anything, but in fact he was always thinking about the box in the sea, and he wanted to get it up quickly to see what was inside, but God was not kind to him, so he could only wait.
Fortunately, we only had to wait for two days. The weather forecast in the evening directly stated that the sky would turn cloudy and clear, and the sky outside was also full of stars. It seemed that it would indeed clear up tomorrow.
"Don't oversleep at night, we're going to sea."
"I understand. When you go back later, you can stop by and talk to Brother A Sheng and my eldest cousin."
"Um."
"I'm going to sort things out and put them on the cart first, so I don't have to get up at night and have to work."
Anyway, he had finished watching the weather forecast, and next came the TV series, which he was not interested in either.
I'll tidy up my things later and go back to the house early to go to sleep.
"Take a bundle with a longer rope, don't forget it."
"Yes, there are them on both boats." Ye Yaodong understood what his father meant.
