Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1035: Command (6000 words, monthly ticket +8)

The more Ye Yaodong thought about it, the angrier he became.

Although he was a bit unruly in the past, he still knew how to be grateful and filial to his parents. It's just that he has no ability and is used to being lazy, so he is powerless and there is no way he can say such words.

"He's trying to get me to help his family, or to find a way to get Hong out. Does he really think I'm super powerful? How come I don't know how awesome I am?"

“Who knows what you’re thinking?”

"Damn it, I won't be threatened by him. I'll go to worship my ancestors during the Qingming Festival and tell them to the heavens, what the hell, I opened the prison?"

Lin Xiuqing didn't dare to say anything when she saw his angry look.

"Aren't you afraid that the villagers will beat you to death if you let them out early? Do you really think that everyone's money is so easy to plunder? Whose money isn't hard-earned money? How long will it take for everyone to earn five hundred or one thousand?"

"Didn't you see that when Afan came back, the villagers blocked his door and scolded him miserably, kicked his brazier, and had feces thrown on his door for several days. He got better only after he made all kinds of promises. If Ahong was released, he would be beaten to death at his doorstep."

"Fuck, they still owe my elder and second brothers money. The top beam is not straight, and the bottom beam is crooked. The whole family is worthless..."

Lin Xiuqing listened to him scolding for a while but didn't dare to interrupt or say more. She simply didn't stay with him and went to cook first.

Ye Yaodong cursed for a while, but when he saw that no one agreed with him and no one paid any attention to him, he quickly shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Cooking, what else can I do? You can scold me if you want, don't bother with me."

His anger was stuck in the middle, unable to swallow it or let it out, making him even more depressed.

"What about the child?"

"Yangyang got scolded by me this afternoon, so he's probably taking the two to the workshop to play football now."

"Why are you scolding him? Aren't you afraid that he will kick over the dried fish?"

"There were other people in the workshop helping to watch over him. He ran away as soon as he got up and saw the rain had stopped. He only came back after dinner. No one noticed him. He looked so sneaky, running around all day long. My sister didn't even bother to help keep an eye on him."

"After Qingming Festival, we should be able to bring the sheep back and show it to him, so that you won't be annoyed by the idle people in your house."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and said nothing.

Actually, it's true. Who wouldn't be angry if they are busy like a top all day long while others just sit there and swat mosquitoes?
Ye Yaodong was angry for a while, but after listening to her talk about the child, he also made up his mind to play a prank on her, and his anger subsided a lot.

"I'll go check the workshop. The ground should be dry, right?"

"The ground there is covered with yellow mud and gravel, so there is no mud. It dries quickly and is dry by noon. That's why I let them play there to save them from getting dirty."

After Ye Yaodong responded, he went to the workshop to have a look when he had nothing to do.

However, I didn't see them playing ball. Instead, I saw several half-grown boys and girls squatting in the corner. They were all familiar faces from nearby neighbors. His two little girls were also squatting there.

The twin brothers in the workshop were sitting at the door taking a nap with their backs to the sun. He didn't try to wake them up, but walked towards the group of children with some curiosity.

What I saw was a broken clay pot among a group of children, and inside the pot were a few shrimps and clams???
Looking closely, there were flames coming out from under the jar.

play house?
He also squatted down behind them and took a look underneath. There were three short candles as long as little fingers. Maybe they stole them from home?

“Is it almost done?”

"There are three candles. It should be cooked soon. Once it opens, we can eat it..."

"Really? Yes, in my family, everyone starts talking when they are mature..."

"Let's cook the sugar tomorrow. This takes so long. I'm getting hungry waiting..."

"Yeah, it's so quick to boil sugar in the morning..."

"Don't let me steal the sugar from home again. My mother will find out. Bring some sugar here tomorrow, or I won't cook it for you..."

Ye Yaodong: "???"

Good boy, it turns out you were the one who started it all.

"Will you still be at your house tomorrow?"

"That won't work. My mother will find out. Let's go to another place tomorrow and pick some wild mulberries. They won't taste good if they're not ripe, but they'll taste good if they're coated with sugar..."

"You can also go and dig up some radishes. The little radishes underneath the grass are delicious..."

"How delicious is it?"

Ye Yaodong's voice sounded faintly behind them, which scared them so much that they all fell to the ground and ran away.

Only the two little girls in his family were confused and still squatting there, looking at him stupidly.

Ye Chengyang was also panicking, with his hands on the ground, "Dad..."

"Why are you running? You think I'm here to destroy you, but actually I'm here to join you."

Ye Chengyang looked at his father in doubt, but when he saw that he didn't seem angry and didn't scold him, he slowly put his heart at ease.

"Dad, why are you squatting behind us without making any noise?"

"Come and join you. Seeing you all squatting, I squatted too. It's a good opportunity to see what you are doing."

Ye Chengyang looked at his father in confusion.

“Can this be cooked?”

"It's almost done. Look, the shrimp has changed color."

"Where are the chopsticks? Do you have any chopsticks? Turn it over so it will cook faster."

Ye Chengyang quickly handed the two thick branches to his father, then looked at him carefully and asked, "Aren't you going to scold me?"

"Why would I scold you?"

He pointed with his index finger at the pile of earthenware jars in front of him.

"Isn't that smart? He knows how to cook at the age of 6. In two years, he will be able to cook on the stove. And he didn't run to the weeds or the mountain to do it, but just did it in the corner."

Ye Chengyang immediately grinned, "Hehe..."

“There are mulberries on the mountain so early now?”

"It's still green, and they're so greedy that they picked a bunch of them."

"So you just boil it in sugar and wrap it up to eat? You guys are pretty good at eating, huh?"

"Hey Hey……"

Ye Yaodong knocked him on the head and said, "Don't play with fire, especially in the bushes or on the mountains, do you understand?"

"understood."

"Gaga, it's cooked...";
He used chopsticks to turn the shrimp over and watched the clam open its mouth little by little.

Ye Chengyang also said excitedly: "Open your mouth and it will be cooked."

"This broken clay pot is hard to cook. It's too thick. I should use an empty fish can. That will be easier to cook."

"Dad, have you done this?"

"How is that possible? When I was a kid, I had nothing and ate everything raw. I was not as particular as you guys and even used candles to cook. If my mother knew about this, she would chop off my hands."

All the children ran away, which was a good bargain for his family's three children.

Ye Yaodong had been out for the whole afternoon and was actually quite hungry, but this little bit of food was not enough to fill his stomach, so he served his three ancestors and fed them mouthful by mouthful.

The unhappy mood I had just felt at home was instantly cured by the three little guys.

"I want more~I want more~"

After Ye Xiaoxi took a bite, he swallowed it without even watching her chew and asked for more.

"Take your turns, one bite each, chew it..."

The twins had slept enough and woke up when they heard the noise. Then they looked at the three children, one big and one small, in the corner in surprise.

They walked over curiously, and then squatted beside him, "Brother Dong..."

Ye Yaodong was shocked. "Are you a ghost? You walk without making any sound."

"Ah? Yes."

Ye Chengyang smiled and said, "Dad, you were the same just now."

"Brother Dong, are you playing house with them too?"

"Did you sleep well? You didn't even know a thief came in and put rat poison in there."

"Uh... hehe, I fell asleep while basking in the sun..."

Both of them were a little embarrassed.

"This won't happen again. Next time I catch you sleeping on the job, I'll deduct your salary."

"Okay, I won't do that next time."

"Watch out, there's another person who hates me this morning, don't let them do anything bad to you. If you don't watch out and let others do something bad to you, you won't have to do anything."

"Of course... We will definitely be optimistic about it..."

"Brother Dong, do you guys still want to cook? Let's go to the beach and dig some more."

"Again? Did you get this for them?"

"Uh...Yangyang asked us to help watch these two. He took a group of kids to the beach to dig them up."

Ye Yaodong flicked Ye Chengyang's forehead again, "Your mother told you to watch over them, but you turned around and gave your two sisters to others, and ran off to play by yourself."

"Dad, I want more, I want more~"

Ye Xiaoxi was still staring at the few small shrimps lying on the earthenware jar.

"Are you that hungry? Why do I think you've gained weight again?"

He reached out and pinched the flesh on her face and felt that it was becoming more and more like a pancake. The flesh was almost sagging and was so soft that it could almost be counted as twice as Pei Yu's face.

I don’t know how Pei Yu eats, he’s so skinny.

Maybe it’s because his parents are not around and he didn’t drink breast milk for that long, so there is no difference compared to other children, but the comparison with Ye Xiaoxi is particularly obvious.

"Eat less and save a few bites for Xiaoyu."

"Then I'll eat candy!"

"Don't bargain. These are the last two. You can each have one. I don't want to eat any more. After you finish eating, go home."

"Uh-huh."

The two little girls were satisfied and nodded happily.

After Ye Yaodong blew out the candle, he continued to hold one in each arm.

Ye Chengyang still looked at the small stove he had built in front of him reluctantly, "Dad, twin brothers, please don't kick this away, we need it tomorrow."

"Stop playing with it. Play something else tomorrow. Throw this away later. Children shouldn't play with fire. It's over for today."

He looked back every few steps, looking at the scene with regret, and finally, at Ye Yaodong's urging, he ran home quickly.

The two little girls in my arms, you tickle me, I tickle you, playing with each other and giggling and twisting around.

"Don't move...I'm going to fall, I'm going to fall..."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and watched from the doorway, "I was just about to call you back for dinner. Since there's nothing else to do today, let's eat early."

"Where is Cheng Hu?"

"Send him back home to ask his parents to come over for dinner."

"Oh, then eat early. I'm hungry too."

The weather cleared up for several days and it got warmer day by day. The temperature rose sharply. It dropped by 20 degrees in the past two days and has been rising again in the past two days. The spring breeze blew across the earth and the waves did not stop.

Although they didn't go out to sea, the men in the village were not idle either. They were all tending to their own small private plots. The vegetables that were not eaten in the winter were pulled up by the roots and pickled or dried in the sun.

They turned over the soil in the yard a few days ago, but the area on the slope behind the door was too large, so they haven't started turning it yet. They have been working on it for the past two days.

Originally, there was a large field of mustard greens planted, and most of them were cut down in the past two days. Taking advantage of the good weather, all of them were spread out in the yard to dry according to the old lady's request. The old lady wanted to dry all the mustard greens and then pickle them.

Those mustard greens were so huge that one was taller than Ye Xiaoxi and weighed at least four or five kilograms. She couldn't even drag them.

At this moment, she and Pei Yu were dragging the vegetable covers there, and the little one had already started helping with the work.

Ye Yaodong had been working for two days in a row. After breakfast in the morning, he and his father went to the slope with hoes to chop vegetables and turn the soil.

Those mustard greens are difficult to chop with a kitchen knife. They take a lot of effort. The thick heads are bigger than an adult's fist, and you have to use a hoe to remove the roots one by one.

"The mustard greens rice we had last night was delicious. Let's continue to have it for lunch. Let Qing go buy some pork belly."

"You figure it out yourself."

"Today is the 28th. Should we wait until Qingming Festival to visit the graves? Some people have gone to visit the graves in advance in the past two days."

"It depends on the weather. There have been some storms these past two days. Everyone probably wants to go sweep the graves while they have some free time, so as to avoid being too busy later. I am too lazy to go to your eldest and second uncles' houses to ask them when they will visit the graves. Let them come to me on their own. If they don't come, we can wait until Qingming Festival to sweep the graves. Your eldest aunt should also go with us this year."

"Ah."

"Don't cut them all down. Leave a few there and eat them slowly in the next few days. I don't have enough seeds. I'll go back to my hometown and transplant a few watermelon seedlings. The ones I planted some time ago have already sprouted. They have even grown quite tall after the rain."

Ye Yaodong responded and chopped down another large mustard plant, then shouted to Ye Xiaoxi down the hillside, "Come and help me."

"coming……"

She and Pei Yu were originally feeding the big white goose with vegetable leaves. Upon hearing this, they immediately ran over and waited.

After Ye Yaodong spotted the spot below, he threw the mustard greens down. The two sisters immediately bent down and each grabbed a handful of mustard leaves and dragged them around. However, a big goose saw the green leaves and ran over to peck at them.

"Go away, you bastard~"

"Again, go away~"

"Go away~"

The two sisters were annoyed by the geese that kept surrounding them and kept waving their hands to drive them away. However, after being waved aside, the geese would persevere and run up to them again, swaying and attacking the leaves.

Ye Xiaoxi tried to drive it away for a long time but to no avail. She stomped her feet in anger, put her hands on her hips and glared at the big white goose.

"Go away! You're angry!"

The big white goose remained unmoved and continued to steal food.

Only this one geese came over to steal food. The other two geese had already run away to eat grass elsewhere. The green grass after the rain has sprouted in the past two days and is particularly fresh and tender.

"If you don't behave, I'll beat you!"

She put her hands on her hips and shouted for a while, but it was of no use. She got angry and slapped the goose on the head, turning its head to the side.

The goose turned around and wanted to peck her, but she slapped it again, still screaming loudly.

"I'll beat you, I'll beat you, if you don't behave!"

Ye Yaodong had just finished chopping down another tree when he looked up to see a fight between a man and a goose. Ye Xiaoxi was slapping the goose non-stop. The goose didn't know if it was dazed by her slapping, as it would be slapped whenever it turned its head, but it kept stretching its neck.

Ye Xiaoxi was out of breath after a few hits, and then he called for help without any martial ethics, preparing to fight two against one.

"Sister, sister, hit it. If it doesn't behave, you have to hit it!"

Pei Yu was originally dragging a mustard leaf and watching her fight with the goose in a daze. When she heard someone calling her to join in, she immediately dropped the leaf, went up to pinch the goose's mouth, and joined in the fight...

Ye Xiaoxi was exhausted and sat down on the ground to catch her breath. But seeing the big goose twisting and turning and trying to break free from Pei Yu's hand, she quickly got up, hit the goose's head several times with her little fist, and then rode on the goose and spanked its butt continuously.

"Beat your ass, beat your ass..."

Ye Yaodong stared at them and laughed non-stop, "Fuck, are these two girls so powerful?"

"what?"

Father Ye turned around in confusion and smiled. "When adults see geese, they stay far away and dare not get close to them, lest they be chased by them. The big geese bite people and it hurts a lot. But such a young child is fearless."

"They are also our own geese, so they are familiar with them. They didn't treat them like strangers, so they were beaten by the two of them. They also had no fear of this goose, so they just started beating it with their fists."

Pei Yu grabbed the goose's mouth with his two little hands to prevent it from opening, but the goose soon shook it off. Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxi immediately gave up spanking the goose and pinched the goose's neck with both hands.

"Don't bite~ Damn~ You're not a good boy~"

The big goose kept twisting its neck and swaying back and forth in place, running around, scaring Ye Xiaoxi so much that she almost couldn't sit still and could only hold its neck.

"Mother, mother, help me, help me~"

Ye Yaodong was speechless and could only jump down the hillside, then picked her up from the goose, and picked up Pei Yu with one hand, and carried them both back to the back door of the house.

"You two are so bold that you even dare to hit a goose. You will be scolded and cry for your parents soon."

"Bai Bai is not a good boy...stealing food..."

Pei Yu also nodded in agreement.

"Then why don't we kill them and fry them to eat in the evening?"

"No!" She immediately objected fiercely, and ran to the back door, blocking the door with her hands spread out, "You can't eat Baibai, it's wrong, I don't dare to do it again~"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Seeing that her father didn't respond, her mouth flattened and tears were about to fall, "Wow~ Wuuuuuu can't eat it~ Can't eat it~ It's wrong~ Wuuuuu~"

"Oh my god...you're crying so suddenly. You just fought so fiercely, and now you can't bear to let go?"

“It knows it’s wrong.”

Ye Yaodong looked at her and laughed. He also imitated her by pouting his mouth and speaking, "So it is still your good friend, right?"

Ye Xiaoxi nodded heavily.

He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her red tears, "Okay, then I won't eat anymore, I won't eat anymore, go into the room and play by yourself, I don't need your help."

"Cai Cai..." Tears were still hanging on her eyelids, and she was still thinking about the vegetables on the ground.

"I'll get the basket myself."

She pursed her lips and nodded with sobs.

Ye Yaodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he picked up the vegetable on the ground. He then put it in the basket in the corner and moved it to the hillside. He also put the one he had just cut down into the basket. He and his father would carry it downstairs later.

The two girls also stopped for a while and sat in a row on the threshold of the back door, watching them working on the slope not far away.

The old lady was tearing the leaves of the lettuce one by one at the door and hanging them flat on the wall to dry.

After the father and son finished all the work on the hillside, they carried a large basket full of Mao Lao Gao's vegetables to the door for her to wash and dry.

"Is there nothing for me to do now? If there is nothing for me to do now, I will go back to my hometown."

"What's the hurry? You have nothing to do anyway, so peel the vegetables for me, rinse them, and then hang them up to dry."

"Who said I'm idle? The bamboo I cut hasn't even been cut into slices yet..."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have to wait for the bamboo to dry out? I asked you to do a little bit of work, but you kept pushing it back and forth. You want to go back before you finish it. You just want to be lazy every day. Hurry up and help me."

"It's just a small matter. Why don't you just ask Dongzi to do it? He's free, so just let him do it. Why do you have to ask me to do it? I'm busy."

"There are so many dried fish in the workshop. He is much busier than you. You just do what he asks you to do. Why are you so talkative? Why are you too old and useless to ask him to do anything?"

The old lady took the crutch leaning against the corner and hit Ye's father's leg.

Father Ye glared at her angrily, then turned and glared at Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong had an innocent look on his face and touched his nose. "I'm busy in the workshop. It's been sunny these past few days. I'll see if there's anything that can be dried and collected today. If there is, collect it early."

Father Ye had no choice but to stay and peel vegetable leaves for the old lady, then rinse them and hang them on the wall to dry. After everything was done, he wanted to leave, but the old lady quickly stopped him with her walking stick.

"Wait, wait, wait, why are you in such a hurry... And these mustard greens, go get a knife and peel them. We'll make a stir-fry for lunch later. Don't waste them. There are so many. Peel four or five and make a stir-fry for lunch. Peel the rest tonight or tomorrow when you're ready to eat. That way they won't go bad."

Ye's father had no choice but to go into the house to get a knife to peel it for her.

The old lady followed him into the room, took out the radio, sat next to him and continued reading, "Wait until the evening, and go and empty the toilet. The weather is hot, so you have to empty it more often. You can help more..."

Father Ye frowned and glanced at the old lady with a depressed look on his face.

"Ah~"

"Why are you sighing? You have nothing to do anyway, so why not help out a little? They are both very busy."

"Ah~"

The old lady hit him again with her cane, "Stop sighing. You've ruined all my good luck."

"Aren't you free too? Can't you just sit there and get things done?"

"I can't order you around anymore? Then go away."
