Chapter 203 Daily nap
It’s early to come back today.
As soon as he got home, Lin Xiuqing helped him take off his coat and filled him with a bowl of gannet meat.
His wife used the stewed tonic, which was sweet. Their local stewed tonic would go to the pharmacy to grab some tonic, and then put rice wine to stew it sweet.
Lin Xiuqing took a spoonful and handed it to him, said with a smile: "Drink more soup, we have eaten at noon, I scooped up half a pot from the old house, this gannet still has 20 catties after killing it , you eat more."
"Well, since there are so many, you go to scoop up another bowl and eat more to make up for it. Your foundation is weak, so one person can eat and two people can make up for it."
"Now I can't eat dinner anymore. I'll eat it later. You eat first to fill your stomach. After eating, go and squat for a while. When you wake up, let's have dinner again."
It’s so sweet~
Ye Yaodong drank this bowl of gannet soup happily, feeling energetic all over his body. Apart from wandering around on the boat, he was not tired at first, and now he is full of energy.
He didn't plan to go to bed after eating. If he fell asleep, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Call over the eldest son who was using the excuse of pouring vegetables at the back door, but actually took the opportunity to play with the water, and asked him to help carry the fish in the bucket, and follow him to the old house.
Two red cream crabs and a few fishes weigh only four or five catties, and he can almost lift them by hanging on his elbows. Boys need to exercise a bit, and Ye Yaodong doesn't feel bad when he handles them.
The old lady saw them from a long way from the door, and greeted them happily, took the bucket in Ye Chengyang's hand, then hugged the child, shouted dearly, and praised him again.
After caring about her great-grandson, the old lady touched Ye Yaodong's arm back and forth in concern, "How is it, does the arm still hurt? Your father can't even hold chopsticks, is it the same for you? It's too painful, why are you working so hard?" What? Did you ask your daughter-in-law to rub the oil on you? Your mother also said that you went to sea with your two brothers today to collect the hook, did you just come back? Why didn’t you take a rest for a while and came here?”
The old lady asked a lot of questions without giving him a chance to answer, Ye Yaodong couldn't laugh or cry.
He resisted the soreness of his arms, and reluctantly raised his arms around the old lady's shoulders and went into the house, smiling as he walked, "You have asked me so many questions, how can I answer them? You have already wiped the tea oil, and the questions are not Big, just rest for a few days. Did you eat the gannet meat sent by Ah Qing? Is it delicious?"
"delicious."
"I just kept two big blue crabs in the bucket. They are red cream crabs. I kept the tough ones. I will let my mother stew wine tomorrow. Each of you can eat a little to make up for it."
"Huh? Oops, both feet are good? I thought they were missing feet and brought them here, so I didn't sell them for money, but kept them for food. That pot of gannet meat is enough for us..."
The old lady is so distressed. Blue crabs are not swimming crabs. This one is still red crab, which is worth a lot of money.
"No conflict, eat gannet today, save these two for stewing tomorrow, they won't die, it's okay."
"No, no... you take it back and eat it yourself, we all have..."
"Grandma, you can eat with confidence, I made a lot of money yesterday, a lot of money."
The old lady was still shaking her head like a rattle, "No, no, you suffered a serious crime yesterday, take it back and eat it yourself, don't worry about us."
"I have reserved for myself."
Ye Yaodong leaned over with a smile again and whispered in the old lady's ear that he earned back the cost of the boat yesterday.
It may be a little bit worse, but this does not prevent him from talking more to make the old lady happy.
The old lady whispered happily after hearing the words: "Really?"
She conveniently placed the bucket by the stove and handed it to Mother Ye, then pulled him into the room.
Mother Ye muttered a few mysterious words behind her, and wanted to ask a few more questions when she saw the blue crab in the bucket, but the grandmother and grandson disappeared.
As soon as the old lady entered the house, she happily asked: "Your parents only said that they could sell for a lot of money when they came back yesterday, but they don't know the price."
It was he who told his parents not to yell everywhere. His mother liked to tell the neighbors about some good things in the family. It is not yet sure how much it can sell, so there is no need to cause hatred.
Although the news must have spread in the village after one night, his family was not the only one who got lucky. Others pulled more goods than him. His mother, don't be so high-profile, and people won't keep their eyes on their family.
It's better to be low-key, it can save a lot of trouble, and his wife's stomach is still hidden.
In case someone is jealous and is targeted, and if you find out and report them directly, then it's over.
"I can almost earn it back, I just tell you, you just know it yourself, and let my parents stop shouting, so as not to make people jealous."
"I know this. Your mother just can't hide things. I'll talk about her later. If people want to guess, let others guess. Don't be shy, everyone will know."
"Grandma, you are wise! How to say that sentence, oh... There is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure..."
The old lady was coaxed by him to smile.
Ye Yaodong sat for a while, and then said a few more words to his mother before going out to find his son. As soon as this guy came over, he played wildly with other people's boys, his face was red from arguing.
After going back, he continued to order the boy to carry the bucket for him, and sent Tiger Banner and a dozen big conchs to Lin Jishang's house.
When I went there, his mother was cooking, and he wanted to let him drink two glasses of wine.
Ye Yaodong shook his head hastily, explaining that he exerted too much force yesterday, and he might not even be able to lift his hands in the past few days, so drinking is avoided, and he will wait until next time.
While talking, he paid attention to his house. This was the first time he visited their house. He didn't expect that the smuggling business would flourish, but his house was so simple, no different from other people's houses.
But now there is no need to pay attention to bicycles. People with better conditions in the village have them. Maybe other big things are hidden in the house.
This can only show that their family is cautious, and under the eyes of the villagers, they can still hide so tightly that no one will find it for the time being.
You know, the smuggling along the coast is being cracked down on now, and if you catch them, you won’t be able to get out after a few years.
It has been many years since there were rumors in the previous life, and their family is still very careful.
Ye Yaodong chatted casually with him for a few polite words, and then said that he wanted to rush home for dinner.
At first, he thought that he was not on the same side as him, and there was no need for the two to have a deep friendship, but now he thinks that many friends have multiple paths, anyway, it would be good if he didn't get involved in their messing things up.
In case you want to buy something, it is more convenient to find him to buy! Purchasing!
As soon as Ye Yaodong came out of his house, he couldn't find his son again...
Little bunny is so good at running!
He stood at the door and yelled in four directions in turn: "Ye Chenghu~Ye Chenghu~~"
I don't know where I went, I only heard his vague response from a distance, so I had to wait for him at the same place.
After the man came out of nowhere, panting, Ye Yaodong saw that his nose was running out, his sleeves and trousers were covered with mud, and he grabbed his sleeves to wipe his nose and wanted to beat him, but he never got clean.
Mud and snot smeared his face, and he couldn't see it.
"Go, go home and let your mother beat you up."
"Why?" Ye Chenghu stared angrily, "I obediently ran errands with you, why beat me!"
"No reason, you go back and show your mother what you look like, and see if she will beat you."
Ye Chenghu lowered his head to check himself, and suddenly felt a little guilty, and pursed his mouth, "I didn't mean it..."
"Go back and explain to her, it's useless to explain to me, hurry up."
"Can't you help me?"
"cannot."
"Why, I helped you carry things and run errands?"
"You just helped me carry things, and I still have to rely on her in my daily life. I can't play against her, I have to follow her. If she beats you, I will definitely hand her a whip and praise her for a good fight."
He can still distinguish which is more important, and he can't lose the big because of small things, welfare is important!
Ye Chenghu glanced up obliquely, looking at him with contempt.
Ye Yaodong's hand itched so much that he wanted to slap him on the head, but his arm was really sore.
"What to look at, show me the way, if you break your pants again, see if your mother won't beat you hard."
"Humph~"
Ye Chenghu made a face at him, ran and jumped ahead, planning to go back first to intercede.
Ye Yaodong followed closely behind, but he didn't expect to see a pile of things on the table when he went back. The two children screamed and excitedly took things out, and each of them held a can, which was a little surprised.
Lin Xiuqing put it away while cursing, and when she saw him come back, she quickly asked, "You're back, did you save people at sea yesterday? Why didn't you mention it, I don't know."
She was cooking before when she saw two strangers coming to the door, and she was taken aback. It is not a good thing for strangers to come to the door these days, and she was relieved after asking.
"I forgot for a moment. I was so tired last night that I fell asleep with my pillow on. Is this what they sent?" He didn't think about the thank you, so he didn't say it specifically, so as not to worry her.
"Yeah, they said they went shopping early this morning, and then went door-to-door. Our house is far away, and it took a while to get here. That's why we arrived at this point. When we go out with you, it's time to eat. It's too late, and it's not suitable to stay longer, after a while, I said a few words of thanks and left."
Ye Yaodong nodded casually, not caring.
"Dad, we want to eat canned food~"
"Canned food～canned food～"
Lin Xiuqing scolded: "It's time to eat, and you are not allowed to eat any canned food."
Ye Yaodong also said: "Will you eat the whip? Can you show your mother how dirty you are?"
"Oh~ Dad, why did you remind me, mother didn't see it!!"
Ye Chenghu stared at him angrily, then he scrambled off the table to run away, but was caught by the back collar without any surprise.
"Ah~oh~ mother, tap~don't hit~don't hit~"
Lin Xiuqing scolded while beating, "I still want to get away with it, I changed a few clothes today, and there was a hole in my trousers at noon..."
Everyone is not used to the plot of face slapping. I listened to people's persuasion and had a full meal. I changed it, and I will not write about face slapping in the future.
