Chapter 1018: Beaten Again (7000 Words)

After sending all the drunkards away, Ye Yaodong also burped loudly and returned to the house.

Father Ye held a large vat of wine in distress, "Isn't this one too drinkable? There are 7 people in total, and this vat will reach the bottom immediately. This is starfish wine that has been brewed for almost two years. If I had known Last year I asked your mother to make more rice wine."

I still feel bad, aren’t you the one who drinks the most?

Seeing that his mother was not around, no one cared about him, so he kept filling up the glasses for himself, for fear that others would drink more than him, and he would reach the bottom and not be able to scoop up any more, so he cried out that he was out of wine, and everyone also The talents are all gone.

"Just drink it. I brewed a lot at that time. There were two large jars of sea snake wine there. I couldn't bear to take it out and kept it for another two years."

No one is allowed to drink free wine? It costs several cents to buy a pound of soju at the store.

Usually the old men in the village just sit at the canteen, scoop up a tael of soju, and pair it with peanuts to brag all afternoon.

He invited him to drink, and everyone who refused to drink was free of charge.

"You can't give that to others to drink. You can only keep it for yourself."

"That's for sure."

Ye Yaodong looked at the mess all over the table and had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and start cleaning up.

As he was cleaning up, he said: "Wait for three or four days and go over and ask your eldest and second uncles. Then mention it to them and see what they say."

"Ok, I know."

"What are you looking at? Come here and help me. I've collected all the dishes and chopsticks. You can clean the table."

"Should I wash the dishes for you by the way?"

"Okay."

Father Ye glanced at him, put his hands behind his back and walked directly to the door without paying any attention to him.

Ye Yaodong also tilted his head and watched his father staggering out with eight-figure steps. He didn't know where he was, but he thought he was the master from somewhere.

After collecting the dishes and chopsticks, he cleared the table and poured out all the remaining seafood.

It is not a rare thing for the people at the beach, and no one moves it much, especially the shelled ones are thrown there, only the fish and shrimp are touched, and most of them are too lazy to peel the others. Now they all have big bowls of them. Pour into the trash can.

Then he took the trash can to the beach to empty it.

This is a natural garbage dump for recycling and reuse.

He was already slightly tipsy and his face was red. When he went out and was blown by the sea breeze, the temperature on his face suddenly dropped, and his eyes became clear again.

Although, it is impossible for him to wash the dishes. It would be good if he can help clear the table.

This is already a sign of a good man. Most men just drink and leave it there and go straight back to the house to sleep, waiting for their wives to clean up. Even if the wife comes back from work in the middle of the night, it is still her job.

He also checked his watch and saw that it was only 9 o'clock. He thought that he had to send a few children home to sleep, so as not to take advantage of money and be reluctant to go home to sleep and not get up to go to school the next day. .

You still have to go to school. If he hadn't reminded her, it is estimated that his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law can fuck the child until they go to bed at the same time, which will affect his health.

Ye Yaodong locked the courtyard door, told the dogs inside to look after the house, put his hands in his pockets, and went to the workshop, hunched over in the cold weather.

It has been two and a half days since he killed the fish. The workshop has not stopped 24 hours a day, and the fish stock in the workshop has also been decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. He estimates that he will be able to finish the work tomorrow until dark in the evening.

If you go to sea again at night, you won't be able to keep so much goods when you come back. You have to sell everything you can sell for money, and bring back what you can't sell.

It's the same in the summer. Everything that can be sold for money has to be sold. Bring back the goods that can't be sold, otherwise you won't be able to kill them all. Don't say it's been stored for three days without adding ice, and it won't be used until the next day. Must be fresh.

It's equivalent to keeping fish that can't be sold for money. Fortunately, the two boats should bring back enough every time. If you save them in advance, you don't need to collect them from Ah Cai.

Ye Yaodong was thinking as he walked past the aunts who were killing fish, and saw that some of the old aunts were shaking their hands so much that they were killing fish, and their speed was obviously several times slower than the previous two days. gear.

It's probably the difference between 4g network, 3g network and 2g network.

Also, after killing fish for two and a half days with high intensity, whose hands don’t shake? Although my mind is numb, the kitchen knife will feel heavy if I keep holding it in my hand.

"Hold on, I'll have to work for another day tomorrow at most and then I'll have a rest."

"But we can't take a break. We are eager to work all day long. If we take a break, where will we go to make money? Will A Dong go to sea again at night? Will the next trip take seven days to come back?"

"If you ask me, it doesn't take seven days, it only takes four or five days to come back, and then go out immediately. If you fish like this, the goods can be sent back, there is no waste, and the workshop does not need to work for a few days and take a few days off."

"Yeah, this guy is so rich, what a pity he didn't come back and fell into the sea? We also did a lot less..."

The women started chattering to each other again and again. He walked directly past them and stopped listening to what they said.

Everyone only works from the perspective of their own interests. Who cares how much gas you get for your trip back.

"You little ones all have to go to school tomorrow. It's already past 9 o'clock. It's time to go back and wash up and go to bed. I see that you haven't showered in more than a week."

"Hey, why are you washing in such a cold weather? You'll catch a cold."

"Exactly a week!"

"My mother said we can do it for another day tomorrow, so we can wash it after we finish it."

Ye Yaodong shook his head when he heard it. The child didn't want to take a bath, and the mother didn't want to wash clothes. They hit it off immediately.

"Hurry back and catch up on your homework, and then go to bed."

"Just go to the classroom and copy it tomorrow morning."

"Skin is itchy? Just go back to sleep when I asked you to go back to sleep, so as not to rely on me for your future growth. Now go back, you won't go to bed until at least 10 o'clock. If you can't get up, you will be late, and you will be punished by standing at the door of the classroom to lose face. ?”

"I know, we'll go back after this basket is dried."

Ye Yaodong saw that they were still honest, hard-working and obedient today after being beaten yesterday, so he went to the other side to see the little girls who were washing the fish.

All the little girls were working with gloves on, chattering and beaming, looking extremely happy.

After a few boys received a beating at lunch yesterday, they probably got the same 50-50 benefits for them, but they were not so happy yesterday.

The joyful atmosphere also infected him as he walked in.

Ye Xiaoxi squatted next to them as usual, watching them wash the fish, and then when no one was paying attention, he stretched out his fingers to touch the water. After feeling the wetness, he waited contentedly beside them. After a while, no one paid attention, and then continued Look for opportunities to touch the water.

There is no child who doesn't like to play with water. Every day, she is told not to stay by the fish washing basin, but she has to squat there and watch her sisters wash the fish.

Lin Xiuqing carried her away several times, but after a while he sneaked over and refused to repent. She had no choice but to tell the girls to keep an eye on her and not let her touch the water.

Yesterday, I even fell into the basin, but I was still not afraid. I still squatted there and played secretly. The skin is really tough.

Ye Yaodong watched her eyes wandering around, and when no one was paying attention, he stretched his hand into the basin. After touching the cold water, she still grinned and snickered.

He was also a bit mean, he came up from behind her, looked at her sticking out her butt, put one hand into the basin, and wanted to use the instep of his foot to nudge her butt.

Who would have known that with this casual kick, she fell into the fish basin again.

"Ah~ help, help..."

As soon as she shouted for help with a milky voice, her father quickly lifted her up.

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened when he saw her falling in again, and his heart skipped a beat. He squatted down nervously and picked her up.

When the people around him heard the noise here and turned to look over, thinking about destroying the evidence of the foot bitch, he quickly carried the person and ran outside.

The little girls sitting next to him stared in surprise with their eyes widened and their mouths opened in an O shape.

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi fell into the water, they were all shocked, but before they could react, he was quickly picked up and taken away quickly.

If they hadn't also been splashed all over their faces, they would have doubted whether they had seen it wrong.

"Uncle San ran so fast..."

"How did Xiaojiu fall in?"

The three sisters looked at each other with confused faces.

"I do not know."

"I don't know either. I just heard a thump, and then my third uncle immediately picked her up and ran away without saying a word."

"Tell third aunt?"

"Want it?"

When Lin Xiuqing heard the commotion, she turned around and saw Ye Yaodong carrying Ye Xiaoxi away. She muttered in confusion, "Why are you carrying him around like a puppy every day? It's too easy, and you can't hold it properly..." …”

It wasn't until she heard Ye Xiuxiu come over and say that Ye Xiaoxi had just fallen into the basin again that she immediately stood up and understood why she had been carried out again just now.

"Why does it fall into the basin every day? How many times a day does it have to fall? How did it fall? Didn't I tell you to watch her and not let her play with water?"

Ye Xiuxiu looked innocent and confused, "I don't know. We lowered our heads to wash the fish and watched her fall in again."

"I'm going to beat you to death. You keep playing in the water secretly."

She took a piece of cloth, wiped her hands and stood up to go home and take a look.

Ye Yaodong felt extremely guilty. After taking the child back, he immediately took off her wet clothes and changed into another set. However, he couldn't find a cotton-padded jacket, so she could only wear the thinnest autumn clothes and long trousers wrapped in the quilt.

When Lin Xiuqing entered the house, she watched him rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

"Why did she fall into the water again?"

She was so angry that she took the spare whip that was on the table and pointed at the bed, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling, leaving only a little person with his head outside.

"Everything I told you fell on deaf ears. I told you not to go over there, but you insisted on going over there. You play in the water secretly behind my back every day. How many times a day do you have to fall in?"

"The skin is really getting thicker and thicker. I'm not afraid of being beaten. How many times have I told you, but you still squat there every day. Tell me, how many times have you fallen into it in the past two days?"

"If I don't break your legs, you won't be afraid. The busier the adults are, the less time they have to take care of you. The more you act like a monster. If you don't see me for a while, you will do it all over me again..."

She swung the whip hard on the bed, making Ye Xiaoxi blink his eyes fiercely, and then quickly shrank himself up, shouting in a trembling voice, "I didn't, it wasn't me..."

Ye Yaodong quickly apologized and said, "She didn't mean it. I just scolded her. I will send her directly to Xiaoyu's aunt tomorrow. If you are busy in the future, leave it there during the day. Don't take it to the workshop." , this child is too naughty."

"It's all because of your spoiling. Why did you fall in just now?"

"As soon as I came over, I saw her secretly playing in the water. I wanted to tell her not to play and just carry her back, but I saw her throwing herself into the fish basin."

Girl, you have to take the blame.

It's hard for me to carry a heavy load on the road. You have to help share the burden and be considerate.

Anyway, you are young, so it doesn’t matter if you get beaten. This is how everyone is here.

When Lin Xiuqing heard this, she grabbed the quilt, pulled the person out and beat him.

Ye Xiaoxi's arm was grabbed and he couldn't hide. He could only cry and jump on the bed like an ant on a hot pot.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore... I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore..."

"Help, help, dad~ help, dad~"

"Woooo~ I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore~"

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to look, so he quickly stretched out his fingers to cover his eyes, and said silently in his heart: "Be good, daddy will buy you candy tomorrow."

"Yesterday you said you didn't dare anymore and stopped playing. Today you are playing in the water again. Do you want to cut off your hand? Which hand can play with water?"

Lin Xiuqing pointed the whip at her hands, which scared her so much that she cried and kept hiding her hands behind her back.

"Don't cut it off...can't cut it off...my hand...wuwuwu...can't cut it off..."

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

"I don't dare anymore~ I don't dare anymore~"

"Stretch out and hit me twice, and I won't cut you anymore."

Ye Xiaoxi looked at Ye Yaodong with tears in her eyes, reluctant to stretch out her hand.

Ye Yaodong apologized with a guilty smile on his face, "Be good, give your mother a couple of slaps, and this matter will be over."

"Hurry up, do you want to give me a couple of blows, or just cut off your hands?"

Ye Xiaoxi pursed her lips and cried loudly, then reluctantly moved her hands to her chest, but still couldn't bear to open them, out of fear.

"Why don't you stop fighting?" His conscience felt distressed and he asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxi immediately stopped crying and looked at Lin Xiuqing with tearful eyes.

"Then I'm going to get a knife to chop him. Anyway, he is disobedient every day. He loves to play in water, chases cats and dogs, chases chickens and ducks, and wants me to feed him rice. It's no use to his little bitch."

She immediately burst into tears again, "It's useful, it's useful~can't cut it~"

Ye Yaodong also admired her, and the tears stopped and flowed whenever she wanted.

"Then reach over and give me a couple of slaps."

Only then did she have no way to seek help, she looked left and right, reluctantly spread her palms to her chest, spread them out, and then closed them again in an instant.

Then he spread it out tentatively and quickly put it away again.

After repeating it several times, she closed her eyes, spread her hands on her chest and stopped moving, crying loudly.

Lin Xiuqing also waited patiently for her to reach out, then grabbed her hand and hit her palm twice hard.

"Do you still dare?"

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore~"

Ye Yaodong quickly answered for her, wrapped the quilt around her, and hugged her with the quilt to coax her.

"We know we were wrong and we will definitely not play in the water again next time."

Ye Xiaoxi cried so miserably.

He then said to Lin Xiuqing: "I can't find her thick clothes or her cotton-padded jacket. Please look for her."

"Where can I get thick clothes and a thick cotton-padded jacket? She has fallen into the basin twice in the past two days. She just changed into a new set the day before yesterday. The clothes are hung outside to dry. Where can I go to give them to her? Get some clothes?"

"I'm getting angry as I say this. Thousands of reminders and ten thousand instructions. I don't know where those ears are going to grow. I don't even have any clothes to change. It's good now. I don't have to go out. Just wrap me up in bed. I'll wrap it up tomorrow too. Under the covers, you don’t have to go out, just stay in bed, it’s easier.”

Ye Yaodong saw how pitiful she was still crying, and he felt guilty again. It was over, he couldn't even go out tomorrow, he had no clothes to wear, so he could only stay in bed.

"Then just wrap her up in bed. You go and do your work. I'll watch her."

"Um."

After the footsteps went away, Ye Yaodong took out his handkerchief and coaxed him gently, "It's dad's fault. It's dad's fault. I wronged you and caused you to be beaten. I won't cheat you again. Who knew I would give you another gentle blow?" Lift your feet and you’ll fall in.”

"It's all because I drank too much at night and wasn't so sober. Okay, stop crying. Stop crying. I'll buy you some candy tomorrow."

"You can't play in the water anymore, you know? If you hadn't played in the water, I wouldn't have teased you, and of course you wouldn't have fallen in..."

Ye Xiaoxi closed her eyes and still cried loudly. She was so focused on crying that she didn't even hear what was being said buzzing in her ears.

He coaxed her for a long time, but the crying was still there. He was almost at his wits end. Thinking that he still had a handful of melon seeds left over from drinking in his pocket, he quickly peeled two melon seeds and put them in her mouth.

receive!

Stop the crying immediately!

She stopped, chewed it twice in confusion, and then started to cry softly. She just chewed it twice while crying, and after swallowing it, she started to howl loudly again.

He immediately continued to peel melon seeds and put them under her tongue.

Collect again!

The crying stopped again!

But after I swallowed it, it started again.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to keep feeding melon seeds.

The results are remarkable.

Every time the crying stops, it becomes weaker.

After repeated feeding several times, even the howling sound was gone. Ye Xiaoxi still looked at him with tears on her face, waiting for him to feed.

"Is it delicious?"

She nodded.

"Smile."

Her eyelashes were still wet, but her eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh too. He was crying loudly and aggrieved just now, and even before wiping away his tears, he was able to laugh again.

"Very well, be good and obedient, otherwise I won't be able to save you if you're not at home next time you get beaten."

She nodded obediently and watched as he peeled off another fingertip. She lowered her head and put her mouth to his fingertips and sucked it in.

"You are so greedy, what will you do in the future? Someone cheated you out of just a handful of melon seeds. What should you do? Be more careful, honey."

He picked up a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her eyelashes, but he couldn't wipe away the tear stains on his face, so he could only wipe it with a handful of hot water.

The tears on his face had not been wiped off, and there were dry marks on them. If he pulled his cheeks, they would feel tight and uncomfortable. He had experienced this when he was a child.

"Wait here for a moment, wrap yourself up in quilt, I'll go twist a towel for you and wipe your face, and I'll continue peeling melon seeds for you when I come back."

She continued to nod obediently.

By the time she finished peeling all the seeds in her pocket, she was already jumping on the bed. She didn't look like she had just been beaten severely and was crying.

He was as happy as a butterfly, shaking his head and shouting not to sleep.

"If you don't sleep, your mother will whip you when she comes back. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"If you speak harshly, are you afraid of cutting off your hand?"

She immediately retracted her hands, then hurriedly lay on the bed, pulled the quilt over her head, and crawled under the quilt.

"I can't even sleep without a scare."

After Ye Yaodong muttered for a while, he also turned off the light, and then yelled, "Wrap it up, and I'll fart for you."

"Hahaha, the king of stinky farts~"

"You are the one~"

"You are the one, you are~ you are~" Ye Xiaoxi crawled around in the bed excitedly, shouting and screaming.

Then he got in front of him again, with his butt facing him, and shouted, "Puff, puff, puff~"

Ye Yaodong smiled and slapped her little buttocks, then pushed her to the bed and told her to sleep well.

How could she be so good and fall asleep right away?

The father and daughter continued to play around for a while, until he was tired from playing, but she was not tired yet, she was still giggling there, and then she fell asleep instantly after he ignored her.

Ye Yaodong was exhausted and fell asleep directly. Even when Lin Xiuqing came back, he just woke up in a daze and went back to sleep.

But she told him in her ears that it was foggy at night and there was no need to go to sea tonight. He actually remembered it and slept straight into the next day with peace of mind.

When he woke up the next day, he found that it was still foggy.

Moreover, the fog was quite heavy. Standing at the door of his house, he could only see the entrance of the courtyard, which meant that the visibility was only a few meters.

"Bullshit! How can we dry fish in the sun? Damn it, don't let it rain... Bah... it's just foggy. That bullshit weather forecast didn't even warn you yesterday."

Fortunately, when he was drinking yesterday, he deliberately turned on the TV and took a break to listen to the weather forecast, which only said it would be cloudy.

So inaccurate.

The old lady knew that after Ye Xiaoxi fell into the fish washing basin last night, she didn't go out to the workshop today. She sat at the door all morning waiting for them to wake up.

"If it fogs, let it fog. Just stay at home for two more days."

"Um."

"The child has no clothes to wear and can't go out. She can only wrap her up on the bed and leave it to me to look after her. It's my fault. She has only been joining in the fun these past two days. The floor of the workshop is wet. I can't leave as fast as her."

"It's okay. Just wrap her up in bed. This will prevent her from acting like a monster. Fortunately, she didn't catch a cold or get sick."

The old lady smiled and said: "This child is well-raised and strong. You go to eat first. I don't know when this foggy day will clear up."

"Never mind it, just stay at home for a few more days. I haven't had any rest in the past two days since I came back. I'm still so busy that I can't even touch the ground. It's just right to stay at home with my child for a day and have a good rest."

"Hey, you go eat first."

Ye Yaodong said that he stayed at home for a whole day and didn't go anywhere. He and Ye Xiaoxi sat on the armchairs, wrapped in a quilt and sat watching TV all day long, eating melon seed shells and sugar cane peels. All over the floor.

The days were extremely pleasant and comfortable.

As soon as the eldest son came back from school, he actively worked hard for him.

Seeing his son hurried to the workshop as soon as he put down his schoolbag, he suddenly felt a little relieved. It would be great if he could be so active in working for him when he grows up.

Then he will always have something to rely on in the future.

The fog lasted all morning and did not dissipate until noon, but the evening news reported that it would be foggy again.

He and his father didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Father Ye thought for a while and went to Pei's house. He discussed with Pei's father that he would take an extra day to take a look at it, so as not to have to come back after the boat left without homework.

The workshop ran continuously for 24 hours for three and a half days before all the goods were killed, fermented and dried.

After the evening work was done and the floor was cleaned, Lin Xiuqing paid everyone three and a half days' wages.

Even though she was considered a temporary worker, she was also very good at being a person. She would settle the bill immediately after she finished her work. Everyone went home happily with their own knives and cutting boards, and kept saying good things to her, asking her to come back with goods in a few days. Call them again.

Lin Xiuqing also agreed with a smile.

After everyone else settled and left, she settled for her own family.

Give Sister-in-law Ye's share to Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law to them as well, not even leaving out the children's share.

But of course they were all handed over to their wives, and they all stretched out their necks to surround their wives.

"Mom, we have been working for three and a half days. The third aunt said that each of us has two yuan and 50 cents, and you give us 1 yuan, 25 cents..."

"Yes, you have to give each of us 1 yuan and 25 cents..."

"Mom... give me money..."

Sister-in-law Ye put all the money back into her pocket and patted their palms.

"What money, money, money? What's the hurry? Let's talk about it when we go home, it's already dark."

After that, he lifted his legs and went home.

Sister-in-law Ye also did the same thing. As soon as she received the money, she put it back in her pocket and walked home first, causing a group of children to follow and yell behind them.

"Mom...you can't keep your words..."

"that is……"

"We agreed to give us half...you can't keep your word..."

"If you don't give it to me, I won't do it next time! You lie to us every day, and adults must keep their words."

"That's it, 1 yuan 2.5 cents, no less, give me the money..."

Ye Yaodong and his father checked the workshop and found that there were no problems with all the fish being dried. Then they handed it over to Wang Guangliang and the others and told them to go to the open space next to them to take a look at it at night, and then the whole family went home together.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the house, she heard Mrs. Ye scolding her.

"Everyone eats from me, wears from me, spends from me, goes to school with my tuition fees, and now earns a few dollars in wages. Are you still asking me if I want to go back? I'm just a little older and my wings are already stiff?"

"But we've agreed, we'll share half of it, and you can't keep your word." Ye Chengjiang glared at his mother angrily, and then turned around to see Ye Yaodong, Lin Xiuqing, and Ye's father and mother just walking back.

He shouted, "Grandma, grandma, uncle and aunt, my mother lied to us and promised us half, but now she won't give us any."
