Chapter 235 Home
Not long after he came back, the two brothers-in-law also came back with a group of children, and brought them a lot of harvest.
As soon as Lin Xianghui entered the room, he immediately took out the two pearls in his pocket and showed them to his family. Everyone opened their mouths in shock.
"Good luck, I didn't expect to dig out a river mussel at random, and actually pulled out two pearls. Later, Xiangyang and I pulled out many more, but there were none."
He was all smiles, his excitement palpable.
Father Lin, mother Lin, and sister-in-law Lin were overjoyed. Isn't this a good thing like a pie in the sky? They really picked up a treasure.
The second sister-in-law Lin didn't feel disappointed at all, she also had a smile on her face, and she also looked at the harvest in the baskets and buckets surrounded by the children behind her.
"Yo~ there are so many wild ducks? How did you catch them? This thing is not easy to catch. Who caught them? Your little uncle?"
Lin Guangyuan said excitedly: "My little uncle taught us to catch two at the beginning, and we caught the rest by ourselves."
"It's so powerful, how many are you catching?"
"Eight."
"Mother, shall we kill the duck and stew it tonight?"
"I want to fry, I want to eat fried!"
"I want stew, I want soup..."
"I want to eat fried radish slices with duck..."
A group of half-grown children, everyone has different opinions, and they are noisy.
Mother Lin yelled at her with a headache, "Don't fight anymore, stew one at night, fry one."
In this way, there is nothing to say, and everyone is immediately satisfied.
"There are also river prawns and a dozen fish, mother, you can take care of them. Use river mussels to stew tofu soup, fry a bowl of river clams, and let a few children take them to knock."
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, half of the table was seafood brought by him, but today, half of the table was seafood from the river.
Hexian also has the flavor of river seafood, which is different from seafood. Ye Yaodong is not picky, he thinks river seafood is also very delicious, very delicious.
He only ate one bowl of the pot of wild duck soup stewed tonic. The energy from the old turtle soup from the previous day was still sufficient, and he was afraid it would be full.
But the fried bowl, he thinks it suits his taste better, put a lot of old **** to remove the smell, and fried with freshly dried radish slices, it tastes particularly chewy.
After drinking and eating, Ye Yaodong was also half drunk and helped back to the house. In the past two days, because we had to pick oranges, we had to go up the mountain at dawn, and the whole family didn't dare to drink too much, so we only opened up to drink at dinner tonight.
The men in the family were also half-drunk, but the next morning, all of them got up refreshed.
When Ye Yaodong got up, he happened to see them pushing the cart out, and asked them what they were doing?
"Go harvest the sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes in the field should also be harvested."
Mother Lin hurriedly said from the side: "You just rested at home. You have been here for two or three days, and you have been helping with work there, and you have never sat down to rest."
"It's okay, I have nothing to do at home, my father's legs are inconvenient, I can help a little."
Mother Lin’s smile hasn’t stopped for the past two days, “Don’t be in a hurry, you can do the work slowly, it doesn’t matter if you collect the sweet potatoes slowly, you can just play at home…”
Play? Ye Yaodong laughed awkwardly, he was unfamiliar with the place, where could he go to play? There are dirt roads and mud tile houses everywhere, the pure primitive countryside, without even a scene, so why not go to the fields to help with some work and get a good impression.
He didn't refute. After washing up and having a simple breakfast, he also went to the field after chatting a few words. The Lin family's land was also at the foot of the mountain. When he walked over, he saw two people wielding hoes. The living brother-in-law and his wife knew they had found it.
They were hoeing sweet potatoes. After hoeing a ridge, the two sister-in-laws went to pick up one by one into the basket, and then put all the sweet potato vines away and put them on the cart. These were to be taken back to feed the pigs.
When everyone saw Ye Yaodong coming, they all smiled and said hello, "Why are you here?"
"There is nothing to do after dinner, and idleness is idleness."
This is indeed the truth, sitting idle in the house chatting awkwardly with the father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is better to come out and do some work.
The two brothers and sisters-in-law of the Lin family have a better and better impression of Ye Yaodong. They used to think that he was bad in all kinds of ways, and the little sister was blind, as if it was their illusion.
After Ye Yaodong helped with the moving work for a long time, when he went back to eat lunch, he also went back to the house to discuss with Lin Xiuqing that he should go back the next day.
Those who should be visited have also been visited, and all the oranges that should be picked have been picked. The work in the field is endless, anyway, they are not in a hurry, they just work slowly.
It’s almost enough to stay for three or four days, and they can’t do without anyone watching for too many days at home.
Lin Xiuqing thought the same way, "I told my mother in the morning that we will go back tomorrow. Are you tired? You said you came back to visit my father, but you were asked to work for several days."
"Then you will give me compensation?"
It’s okay to do some work, a half son-in-law, if you can take the opportunity to ask for a reward, it would be even better to make people feel distressed.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him reproachfully, then patted the bed beside her, "Then sit down, and I'll give you a shoulder squeeze."
"okay."
Ye Yaodong happily sat down beside her, feeling her delicate and boneless little hands kneading his shoulders, and felt that the soreness from carrying the burden in the morning was gone.
"Comfortable ~ a little harder ~ a little strength ~"
"Is that so?"
Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and enjoyed her rare gentle service.
"Down a bit..."
Lin Xiuqing pressed down obediently, kneading and pressing the whole back for him, and he closed his eyes so happy.
As a result, he stopped one hand after a while, and he hasn't had enough fun yet.
"Wife?"
"My hands are sore."
"Then let me rub it for you?"
Ye Yaodong just got started, and the two of you and I just got together, when I heard Mother Lin calling Lin Xiuqing outside the house, she suddenly looked a little guilty, and immediately stood up to go out.
There was nothing in his arms, he sighed regretfully, and lay down directly, with his hands resting on his head, his feet up, and looking towards the top of the bed, this pregnancy will take ten months at a time, it is really hard.
He counted with his fingers, it seems that it has only been four months? Or fifth month? Matt, I don't know how to count.
Alas, there are no VCDs, and no small movies...
Thinking a lot in his mind, he fell asleep without thinking, and he didn't know when there was a villain beside him.
It wasn't until he woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon that he realized that he had used his youngest son as a pillow and slept with the pillow behind his head. No wonder it was quite comfortable.
My son is still useful.
Get up lightly, cover him with a quilt, and then go outside.
At this time, Mother Lin was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Ye Yaodong stood at the door and stretched, watching his mother-in-law take out bags and jars of things and put them on the stove, talking about what was in her hand, and then said that she would take them back.
He saw that there were too many bottles and cans, and quickly said: "Mother, why are you rummaging through boxes and cabinets again? You don't need to take everything back to us. There is no shortage of food at home. Just carry a bag of grapefruit and a bag of bitter tangerines." Half a bag is enough…”
"Oh, it's rare to come here. Why don't you use it? I can't finish eating it at home. Look at the dried radish. There is a sack in the house. I can't finish eating it until next year. And the sour bamboo shoots, Pickled in the past few months...the day lily and dried lettuce were also dried in the past few months...there are too many at home, and I can't finish it..."
Father Lin also smiled and said: "We only have vegetables in the countryside, and there are no good things. In the past two days, we will slowly harvest sweet potatoes. When we are done, we will shred them into shreds and dry them in the sun, and then use them for cooking. Sweet potato starch, I'll bring you some back when you celebrate the Chinese New Year..."
Mother Lin also echoed, "That's right, they are all grown by themselves. They are dried in the sun, and you can't finish them all. Tomorrow, you can pack sweet potatoes into a sack and take them home, right?"
In the past, there was no family separation, so they took less, but now they are separated, and they live their own lives. Mother Lin wants them to take a copy of everything.
"Ah, no need, we have all grown at home, and we can harvest them, don't take them with you, keep them for yourself..."
Ye Yaodong waved his hands again and again, he even wanted to bring sweet potatoes, so he couldn't bear it to death?
"Bring a few more of those pumpkins, have you finished eating the ones you brought back last time? There are still a bunch of them at home..."
Mother Lin said that she was going to move pumpkins to the woodshed next to her.
Pumpkins are heavier...
Lin Xiuqing also said: "There are still pumpkins at home, mother, you don't need to pretend..."
"Bring a few more and eat slowly..."
The husband and wife were a little bit too warm, and could only watch Lin's mother busy looking through things there.
Early the next morning, a tractor parked in front of Lin’s house, rattling there, attracting a group of neighbors around, and everyone came out to watch the fun and say hello.
"Your son-in-law is going home? Is it still called a tractor?"
"Yo...you asked the tractor to send it back? This is a tractor when you come here, and a tractor when you leave. Your son-in-law is in such a good condition? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, how much does it cost for a delivery?"
"It's really worth it..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "It's not that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are too enthusiastic. You see, there are so many big bags and small bags prepared. If you insist on asking us to take them back, we can't even think about it. The two of us brought them together again." With two children, how do I get it? There was no push cart when I came here, and the child’s legs can’t walk on such a long road, isn’t it just trying to use a tractor to save trouble?”
This is because he persuaded Ah Qing last night to ask her for a tractor, otherwise how would they get it? Several sacks were there, and a bag of pumpkins weighed hundreds of catties.
The province, the flower.
After he said something, he went to carry things, regardless of what the people next to him said.
They are all full and full, and they are in a panic when they are idle. They love to join in if there is any movement in the neighbors.
The two brothers-in-law also helped to pack Lin's mother in advance, one sack after another, and put them on the tractor. They even put two of the wild ducks caught the day before yesterday into sacks for them to take back.
Looking back, the old man and his family are so enthusiastic, and Ye Yaodong would feel ashamed if he insisted on letting them take away the big and small bags. Fortunately, he also brought a lot of seafood when he came, otherwise it would really be an autumn wind.
Ye Chenghu looked at his old cousins and was a little bit reluctant to leave. Grandma's house was so much fun, there were some eating and some playing, he never stopped talking all day long.
"You guys go to my house to play next time, I will take you to the beach to dig sand clams."
"Okay, you can also come and play next time."
"Well, I will definitely come back. You must protect your **** from being eaten, and I will also protect mine from being eaten by my father."
Ye Yaodong heard that he was still chattering there, and directly carried him onto the tractor.
After a brief farewell to the Lin family, he let the tractor set off.
