Chapter 205 Literacy Class
After returning home, Lin Xiuqing said: "I think the younger sister's marriage should be coming soon, do we have to buy her something as a dowry?"
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said nothing.
Buying something for the little sister as a dowry, he has no objection, but this friend has become a brother-in-law, which makes him feel a little awkward, and always feels that his cabbage has been raped by a pig.
Being taken away so easily, I always feel a little unwilling.
She looked at his reaction amusedly, "You said that if you have a daughter in the future, you will do the same?"
Ye Yaodong frowned even tighter, feeling even more upset.
"Have a son?"
Lin Xiuqing laughed and rolled his eyes at him, "You say sons are sons, and daughters are daughters? Two sons are enough, and my hands hurt from being mischievous all day long."
"Then you don't have to fight!" Ye Chenghu interrupted depressedly.
Lin Xiuqing poked his forehead with her index finger, "If you are obedient, don't make trouble, and don't get dirty every day, will I beat you?"
"Dad said, the one who doesn't move is a fool? I'm not a fool!"
"You still talk back!"
Ye Chenghu took two steps back when he saw this, "Dad said it!"
Ye Chengyang also retreated cleverly...
Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose and said nothing...
Lin Xiuqing looked at one, two, and three worriedly, and felt that none of them was relieved.
"I'm going to fetch water, all three of you take off your clothes and pants, wash your feet and go to bed."
OK.
The father and son sat in a row by the bed, waiting!
Lin Xiuqing came in with a basin of water, seeing the three of them looking at her with exactly the same expressions, her heart was even more stuffy.
"Didn't I tell you to take off your clothes and pants?"
"A man as old as daddy can't move yet. If we have to wait for mother to take off, then we can't take off by ourselves." The brave and fearless Ye Chenghu said as a matter of course.
Lin Xiuqing suddenly felt a little pain in the head, "Where is the whip?"
He jumped up quickly, "Ah? Don't! I'll take it off right away!"
Ye Chengyang has always been on par with his brother, and he also stood up and pulled his clothes and trousers in a hurry, and then he didn't take off his clothes and trousers, but tore off a button instead.
His heart tightened, he held the button, looked at his mother innocently, shrank his neck, and hid himself beside his brother...
"Don't try to hide behind me." Ye Chenghu gloated and quickly avoided.
Lin Xiuqing sighed, put away the buttons in his hand, and helped him take off his clothes and trousers, "I asked my brother to take it off by himself and didn't tell you to take it off? I'll sew it up for you later."
It's only this young age, and she can't hit it yet, otherwise her hands will be itchy.
From left to right, after washing the faces of all three, she took off her clothes and trousers before she poured the water from the washbasin into the footbath. into the basin."
Three pairs of feet in a basin, you stepped on me, I stepped on you, water splashed all over the floor, Lin Xiuqing even splashed his face when he rubbed their feet, almost exploded with anger.
She slapped her hard twice without mercy, "Be honest with me."
Ye Yaodong looked at his legs that were slapped red by innocent people, he suspected that his wife did it on purpose, he obviously didn't move at all.
But, he didn’t dare to say anything, he just beat him.
Maybe it's because he doesn't move?
After wiping 3 feet clean, Lin Xiuqing straightened up, "Why do I feel like I have raised three sons?"
"Yes, that's right, just raise me as a son!"
Lin Xiu gave him an innocent look, and went to pour the footwashing water, too lazy to talk to him, "You three, sleep with me!"
"We can't sleep without you!"
"We can't sleep without you!"
"Can't sleep..."
The two sons also laughed and echoed.
Lin Xiuqing had a headache, so she just ignored them and didn't even want to talk to them...
Ye Yaodong looked at her helpless look cheerfully, then ordered his eldest son to turn off the lights, and then told the two to lie down, both of them chattered excitedly about watching a movie at night.
"Dad, will you continue to take us to the movies tomorrow?"
"Didn't see enough today?"
"Well, the movie is so good."
"My hand hurts, I can't hug you, your mother can't hug you, I can't go, next time I will take you to the movie theater in the town, the movies there are better, and the movie theater is very big, not the open-air ones we watch at night .”
"Really?"
The attention of the two children was immediately diverted by him, and they kept asking how the director of the film was.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to patiently popularize the movie theater with them, which he still knows.
The two children seemed to be listening to a story, they actually fell asleep after listening to it, and Ye Yaodong was also drowsy.
Lin Xiuqing washed herself up and came in, only to find out that she was asleep, and she was relieved, of course she didn't need to be coaxed to sleep.
"A Dong?"
"Um."
"Wipe tea oil before going to sleep."
"Um."
He had to cheer up and sit up again.
After spending two days leisurely at home, Ye Yaodong thought that he should be able to get the payment for the goods today.
This amount of money is quite a lot. He and his wife have been thinking about it for several days. Of course, the money must be in their own pockets to be at ease.
He deliberately waited until after dinner in the evening, thinking that other people's families should have almost received the payment, and then went to Ah Guang's house to ask them if they had taken the money and how much they paid for it. After understanding, he brought the receipt to Ah Cai's house to get the money .
He is very kind, and he never asks for money early in the morning to cause trouble for others.
Not only businessmen are taboo, but ordinary people also hate it when someone asks for money early in the morning, which is obviously annoying.
It's just right to settle accounts after dinner, and take my wife for a walk.
After dealing with him for so long, Ah Cai didn't dare to cheat him. As soon as he passed, he made up the missing unit price on the receipt, which was the same as the selling price of Ah Guang's family.
According to what A Cai said, this is the purchase price of the day, and everyone else has the same price. He also said that if he is not at ease, he can inquire about it.
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was still tense, he rolled his eyes, shook the receipt, and only said, "Add more."
Ah Cai's liver hurts from depression, but there is nothing he can do about his rambunctiousness, you bastard! There is no time to talk.
"1836 yuan and 6 cents, I'll give you a total of 1850, and you are not allowed to talk to me anymore."
"Okay, don't have such a heartbroken expression. Based on our relationship, who is with whom? I know you have made a lot of money, so I won't tell it."
"Oh, it's not easy to earn some money from you."
"It's not easy, you can't be too picky about being a human being, hello, hello, hello everyone."
"Am I doing search? I'm a businessman..."
"So treacherous!"
A Cai was speechless, glared at him, said that he had no choice but to shut up, dabbed some saliva with his finger, and then began to count the Great Unity.
The more Lin Xiuqing listened to it, the happier she became. It turns out that the **** has this advantage, and the selling price can be a little higher than others.
After he ordered a stack of 100 cards, he put them on the table, and then took out the money to order.
After counting the second stack, he handed it to Ye Yaodong, and when he was about to take it with a smile, he deliberately threw money at his hand.
"Is this something you can reach for?"
Then he handed the money to Lin Xiuqing.
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, ignored him, reached out to get the money on the table, and counted it.
After checking with his wife twice that there was no problem, he smiled and pulled out two cigarettes for him, and hooked his shoulders for a while before going back.
Lin Xiuqing laughed so hard all the way.
Ye Yaodong held her little hand and said with a smile, "Are you so happy?"
"Of course, the cost of our new ship is almost back."
"Well, should it be enough to pay the fine?"
"Can't you make me happier?"
"It's very exciting! There are still several months, and we don't have to worry about paying it. Shall I buy you a watch to celebrate?"
Lin Xiuqing pinched him hard, "Thinking about how to spend money all day long? You just bought a sewing machine, and you want to buy a watch again? You still have one."
"That's for men, and you can't take it with you, or I'll give it to you. Let me tell you the truth, buy one? A hundred dollars is enough..."
"No, I don't want it, it's enough if I have a sewing machine?"
"Then buy a radio, let you listen to the radio at home?"
Lin Xiuqing twisted the flesh on his waist and rotated it 90 degrees...
"Hiss~ good, good, don't buy it, don't buy it, whatever you say..."
"Go to literacy class tomorrow, so as not to be an eyesore at home all day long."
"I didn't know who said this before? I hoped that I would be at home every day, and it was best not to go anywhere, but now I feel that I am an eyesore? Women are really fickle..."
"You still say?"
"Ah, stop talking, stop talking, your hand hurts carefully..."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't hold back immediately, and he laughed...
This guy…
irritating…
The literacy class in Dongqiao Village is in the village primary school, and it is held at night to take care of the workers, farmers, fishermen and women who have to work during the day, and it is also free.
Ye Yaodong walked towards Dongqiao Village after dinner the next evening. The houses on the side of the road were printed with various slogans everywhere, such as "Good birth and good birth, boys and girls are the same."
“You can’t earn money for ten years, but you can’t stop reading for a day.”
"Don't marry an illiterate wife, don't marry an illiterate man."
…
After walking to the village primary school, there were quite a lot of people in the class. Looking at the men, women and children of different ages inside, because his hands were not convenient, he didn't bring a pen and paper. He looked around with his hands empty and cheeky before walking to the corner. sit down.
After a while, a young man also sat down next to him, looked at his empty desk, and asked him curiously.
Ye Yaodong only said that his hands were inconvenient, so the other party didn't ask any more questions.
After having a beginning, Ye Yaodong also chatted with him about opening some literacy classes. He knew that the teacher of this literacy class was an unmarried lesbian, who was also a part-time primary school teacher, not a teacher who knew a few words in the village before.
So there are especially many men in this class...
After a while, the teacher from the literacy class also came. This teacher was also a bit interesting. She wrote a bunch of words on the blackboard, and Ye Yaodong was dumbfounded when he heard her teaching.
"Crab, these two complicated characters are called crabs. You copy them down on the paper with a pen and a pen, and read them a few more times when you go back."
"Squid...octopus...white shrimp...squid...today's task is to learn these words."
Ye Yaodong listened to her finish reading every word on the blackboard, and couldn't help poking his brother beside him who was seriously copying.
"Comrade, does this female teacher teach such complicated things?"
"No, it's because you came late. We started by learning one, two, three, four, five...ninety, population hand, upper, middle and lower, size, two catties, horse and cow wool..."
The tablemate kindly showed him the words he had recorded before.
"Last week I recognized cabbage, potatoes, radishes, cucumbers..."
"Last week I recognized hoes, sickles, kitchen knives..."
"It's getting harder a little bit. This week I said that I need to know how to write some common seafood. After all, we are here by the sea..."
Ye Yaodong nodded straightly, it makes sense, he was late.
He read it several times with great interest, then listened to the female teacher analyze the strokes, and then asked them to practice on paper a few more times.
He actually has a good impression of these words. After all, he has dealt with seafood for most of his life, and some words are also impressive, even if they are not so clearly imprinted in his mind now, he can't write them.
One class is not long, only an hour. After all, they are all illiterate. If you read too many words to them at once, they can’t remember them. If you can recognize five words and ten words a day, it is already very good.
After class, all the **** men in the class took the opportunity to talk to and tease the female teacher surnamed Zhou. Ye Yaodong was not interested in exchanging names with his deskmate and left.
After returning home, Lin Xiuqing saw his happy face and asked curiously, "Did you find the money?"
"No." Ye Yaodong told her a bit, and Lin Xiuqing also enjoyed what the teacher taught in the evening.
"Then are you hungry? Are you hungry?"
"Hahaha~ During the day, the eldest brother and the second brother put away the ground cage and came back. Didn't they have two blue crabs? Did you stew them at night? You guys eat meat, just let me drink some soup."
Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "There's only soup, and the two children eat about the same amount of meat."
"I'm just talking, you can drink the soup."
After several days of literacy classes, Ye Yaodong really knew the basic characters of seafood, but he couldn't write them. After all, he hadn't picked up a pen yet, and those characters were too complicated.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, he only wants to be able to recognize, and whether he can write is not very important.
After his hands got better, he laboriously copied all the characters he had learned during this time on the paper.
