Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 23 The Big-headed Green Fly

Early the next morning, when there was movement around him, Ye Yaodong also woke up, and couldn't open his eyes for a while, so he opened and closed one eye, and saw Lin Xiuqing dressing the two children.

"What time is it? You two got up so early?"

"Six o'clock!"

After getting dressed, Ye Chenghu crawled over and said curiously, "Father, why did you wake up so early today?"

"Can't you? Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy!"

"Then you usually sleep until the sun is drying your butt before getting up."

Ye Yaodong glanced at his eldest son, stopped talking, and continued to close his eyes. It was too early and he had nothing to do, so he squinted for a while.

"Hee hee~ Grandma said daddy is a big slob!"

The youngest son also shouted excitedly: "Big slob! Big slob!"

He opened his eyes and glared at the two sons again. These two are too unpleasant!Fortunately, after he died, he left them a sum of money for compensation!
"What's the noise in the morning, go out and play!"

"A little bit~"

The eldest son made a face at him, then slipped out of bed and ran out. The second son looked very anxious, "Brother, brother~"

"What's the rush?" Lin Xiuqing put his pants on and put him on the ground, "Be careful, don't run and fall."

While talking, she was holding the bowl and spoon from last night, followed by the wet sheet.

"The shorts I changed out of last night are on the stool in the corner, and the clothes are thrown in the backyard."

"understood."

After the door was closed, the room was quiet again, but Ye Yaodong didn't feel sleepy anymore, he put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to rest, he was afraid that if he woke up too early, he would surprise everyone.

As a result, before lying down for a while, he heard his second sister-in-law gossiping loudly in the main room, as if he was afraid that he would not hear.

"Mom, the house will start working in two days. Ah Hua and elder brother will take turns going out to sea with dad, and only one will be left at home. If Yaodong doesn't go out to sea, he has to help carry it. He is idle anyway. Otherwise, if you hire one more person, you will have to pay an extra salary."

"When he wakes up, I'll tell him!"

"The three brothers each share a room. If he doesn't go to sea, he has to help anyway. After the separation, he is also a family member, so he has to take some responsibility."

Aunt Ye also agreed, "Yeah, I don't expect him to do much work, at least he can help..."

……

Mrs. Ye's voice was not as loud as Mrs. Ye's. Ye Yaodong couldn't hear it very clearly, but he still heard a little.

He frowned, his elder sister-in-law was okay, she was kind, but this second sister-in-law was especially picky, talkative, narrow-minded, and very calculating, but luckily his wife was not like that.

In fact, with a husband like him, Lin Xiuqing was quite sympathetic, and his mother would love her a little bit. Every time she went back to her mother's house, his mother would secretly give her some money to buy some fish to take back.

His elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don't have this kind of treatment, after all, his elder brother and second brother are hardworking people.

Think about it, except for accompanying his wife back to her natal home on the second day of the first lunar month, he didn't seem to have accompanied his wife back in the past six months.

Although he is a bit ineffective, the old man treated him well in the early stage, maybe it is mainly because he loves his daughter?

There will be no more in the later stage, ignore him, maybe scold him every day behind his back...

Waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can accompany his wife back to her natal home to see the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Lying on the bed and thinking about it for a while, he felt that the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, and seeing that the time should be almost up, he got up.

As soon as he opened the door and went out, his grandma was surprised, "Why did you get up so early, Dongzi? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"It's getting late, dad and elder brother go to sea after one o'clock, Ah Hua got up at 6 o'clock and went to the foundation to weed the weeds, and even the children went to play after eating, who else in the family has him sleeping comfortably until now?" Second sister-in-law Ye Sitting at the door, hearing the old lady's words, I couldn't help but look up at the dazzling sunlight, and said straight into the room.

Ye Yaodong picked out his ears and pretended he didn't hear it. He listened to it a lot in his previous life, so he got used to it!
"I got up when I woke up, have you had breakfast?"

"Eat, eat, go to the back door to brush your teeth and wash your face."

"Ah."

After brushing his teeth, he felt a little urgent to urinate again, but he turned his head and took two steps when he saw a simple thatched hut built with bricks and straw in the corner of the backyard, and the door was still covered by a broken wooden board. He immediately remembered what was inside. A big toilet, uh...everything in the toilet...

And at this time, he also heard the buzzing of big-headed green flies flying by...

Ye Yaodong pulled back his legs abruptly, and walked to the vegetable field in front of him, he should pee in the vegetable field to fertilize.

I peed at the beach yesterday morning when I was washing the sea, and I peed in the weeds at Aguang’s house yesterday afternoon. I really didn’t think about the toilet at home.

Uh... can't think about it, he will have breakfast later!
It feels like he has the motivation to live a good life again. Not only does he have to buy a bed, but he also has to work hard for a decent toilet.

After urinating and shaking twice, he went straight back to the house.

There was porridge and two dried fish on the table, the porridge was still shredded sweet potato porridge, but it was rare that it was not mustard pickles but dried fish, his appetite instantly whetted.

"Grandma, was this dried fish dried yesterday?"

The old lady showed her toothless gums with a smile, "Yeah, it's too small and worthless. The day before yesterday your father took dozens of catties back to kill it. It dried up after a day of drying yesterday. I steamed a bowl specially for you this morning. There are two left, eat quickly!"

This is dried water grain fish, with the head removed, it is a little longer than his middle finger. It is too small to be braised in soy sauce, but it is suitable for drying. It is the best food for people on the beach.

"Well, it smells delicious!"

"I like to eat it. I will steam it at noon. There will be more when your father comes back in the evening. I will continue to dry it tomorrow."

"Do you want to break the corn today? I'll go to the field to break it for you later?"

The old lady waved her hands again and again, "No need, no need if you don't have time, I'll take a few small ones there later, just pick a basket."

"I'm free, I have a lot of free time, today's tide will be half an hour to an hour later than yesterday, and there is no need to go to the beach so early, I will pick it for you after eating."

"Aren't you going out to play today?"

"It's too hot, I don't want to go out, so I made an appointment with some friends to go to the sea together after the tide goes out."

"Okay, okay, then pick it for me."

Ye Yaodong pulled a small bowl of porridge in, and when the old lady reached out with a rag to put away the bowl, he took the rag from her hand first, swept the fishbone on the table into the bowl, and put it through the back door.

The old lady smiled brightly, "Just put it there and let your wife wash it for a while."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing his youngest son playing with conch shells by himself at the door, he picked him up and said, "Would you like to go and play?"

"Yes, yes!" Ye Chengyang hugged his neck excitedly.

He was the youngest in the family, and his brothers and sisters all ran away before he finished eating, leaving him alone at home with his mother.
