Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, asking her to take care of those children?
But there are three of them in her family, and there is an old lady's. In addition, Ye Mu has to cook more meals. This big family is enough for her to work, and now there are six more children? ? ?

The children call her aunt, and it's okay to take care of her for a few days, just a little rice, but if it's sent to her every three days, her family can't bear it.

As the saying goes, if a half-grown child eats a poor old man, how can he afford so many mouths?
And it's not just a matter of having more mouths and spending more rice.

The point is, with more children, there will be more things that come with it, and she doesn't have time to see so many children.

Ye Xiaoxi alone is enough for her to be busy, and she can't ask the old lady to do all the work inside and outside the house. The more children, the older she is, the more work she has to do.

What is she doing for nothing?
What if the child bumped into something?I have to blame her if I didn't take care of it well, what a thankless task.

Aren't the parents of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law all from the same village?Wouldn't it be better to send them to their grandparents?
Seeing that Lin Xiuqing was silent, Mrs. Ye quickly said, "I can bring over their daily rations, and you can help cook more. They can eat whatever they have."

"Yes, you can't let them eat yours, we will bring the rations in advance..."

It's not just a matter of rations...

Although their family has always eaten dry food, only breakfast is thin, while the two neighbors eat porridge, and only when they go to sea, they will cook dry rice for dinner.

Lin Xiuqing had a headache.

She put down her chopsticks reluctantly with a smile on her face, "Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, you just said that I am the one who is busy with the whole family, and Xiaojiu is still young, so I can't be busy at all."

"If you send all six of you to me, it's okay for a day or two. I will bite the bullet and help you look at it for a day or two. It doesn't matter if you have rations or not. As uncles and aunts, don't we still have children? One bite? Even if you leave it to me for many days, I won't be able to handle it..."

Ye Yaodong also frowned, he didn't expect that he just made a suggestion, but he cheated his wife...

Mother Ye also frowned, "Your parents are also in the village, wouldn't it be good to entrust the children to their grandparents? You take the rations there, and let their grandma cook a few more meals for the children. They're all in the village anyway."

"That's right, the children's parents' homes are in the village. Wouldn't it be better to go to their grandparents' homes to eat separately? If I give them all, there will be nine children. How can I live there?"

"You don't need to look...they can play by themselves and go to school when the time comes..."

Ye Yaodong also put down his chopsticks and said: "How can it be as simple as you said? They are not wooden people, and they will disappear after eating all day long. It's better to let their grandparents watch, in case they sneak off to the beach to play Ah Qing can’t take care of her three children without water or skipping classes.”

The old lady also smiled and said, "If the child's grandparents live with your other brothers and eat with your brothers, you can invite them over and cook a meal for your children at noon at your respective homes, so that your in-laws can eat together." It would be nice to have dinner at your house by the way.”

Father Ye also agreed, "Yes, yes, please cook at home, and let your in-laws eat at your home. If you go out early and return late, you can also ask your in-laws to cook dinner for you, so that you When you come back from a tiring day, you don’t need to regenerate the fire to cook. What the children eat, you also eat, which saves you all the fuss. When the goods come back, you will still be busy in the future.”

Sister Ye and Second Sister Ye looked at each other, and they exchanged glances.

Before they could speak, the old lady smiled and said: "Don't think that everyone is partial to Ah Qing and speaks for her. She is indeed very busy, and everyone can see that she not only has to take care of the old, She also has to take care of the younger one, and also has to work for the two in the middle, how can she take care of it?"

"And you put 6 of them at a time for her to take care of them again. Anyone who hears this will frown. It's best to let the children's grandparents come and take care of them. They didn't do anything anyway, so they came over to cook a meal at noon. , Come over to cook a meal tonight."

"I'm just getting old. Everyone hates the old man's 'Pai Lai'. It's not clean. Otherwise, I can go over and cook two meals for you..."

"Forget it, poke around with a cane, don't fall yourself." Ye Yaodong was the first to object.

Aunt Ye laughed awkwardly, "It's because we didn't think carefully. We didn't think about it a little bit. We just thought that Ah Qing was next door and wanted to make it easier to go back and forth, so we came here to ask her for help."

The second sister-in-law Ye also smiled reluctantly, "I forgot that you are also very busy. Nine children are really too many, so let's go back to my mother's house and ask my parents to come over and see if it can be done."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "Okay, your parents' house is so close, it would be best if you could come and see it anytime, I just wanted to ask my parents for help, but it's hard to call, since it's so far away, let alone help, It’s hard to say anything.”

"Yes, there are advantages to being close."

"It's not good, it's just a short walk..." Ye Chenghu suddenly murmured.

Lin Xiuqing glared at him directly, "The grown-ups are talking, why do children interrupt?"

"Then let's go first, and we have to go there early to talk, so as not to fall asleep in a while."

Lin Xiuqing nodded.

But Mother Ye suddenly said: "Go and ask first, if my mother-in-law is not free, I will come back early and cook for you for two days. Anyway, I don't always have work every day. Sitting there with legs chatting, sticking matchboxes."

Mother Ye was also worried that the two daughters-in-law had ideas in their hearts, thinking that they were partial to Ah Qing and Dong Zi's family, and they would help if they could.

The mother-in-law is in trouble, the three sons are really too difficult to balance, the palm of the hand is fleshy, and the back of the hand is also fleshy, but there will always be emphasis.

Dongzi and his wife are indeed more filial than the eldest and second couple, and they do a good job.

With her words, sister-in-law Ye and second-sister-in-law Ye were immediately happy, and now there was no need to worry about the future.

Who knows if their wives are free?Of course it would be best if you have time, everyone is happy, if you don't have time, you can only hope that Mother Ye will come back early to cook for them.

Aunt Ye happily responded, "Okay, okay, I'll go back to my mother's house first and ask. If my mother is not free, I can only ask my mother to help."

"Well, let's go."

After the matter was settled and the people left, the happy atmosphere of the family returned.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help complaining, "I don't know what I'm thinking. The money is earned for them, and the children have to watch it for them? Why don't you just give them the money."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and didn't take it seriously, "Doesn't this mean that I'm reliable? They trust me, hehe, they do live next door, and it's normal to think of me the first time. If we go out for a day and a half, it must be the first time For a while, I thought of entrusting the children to them to look after..."

"No, it's me. I'll definitely send it to my mother. If she has to go to work, then let her take the child to work."

Mother Ye rolled his eyes at him, "You really know how to plan for me! You really know how to assign work for me."

"It is necessary. Is it appropriate to call someone else instead of my own mother?"

"You deserve to be treated like a cow or a horse."

"Where, don't you say so exaggeratedly, how can you be like a cow? You are still at work, and I have already started to take care of you and my father. Why do you want to be like a cow? Don't go out ruin my reputation."

"You can say that with just one mouth, I'll give you shit and piss, pay money when it's time to pay, and work hard when it's time to contribute. Isn't it what I'm doing for you? I What you earn at work now will be yours when you get old..."

"Don't say that when you get old, it will be ours. There are still many decades. If you can save enough money for your own pension, I will be Amitabha. Thank God."

Ye Yaodong's talking back has become an instinctive reaction. Opening his mouth feels like he has developed a superb ability, and he can say anything immediately.

"It's been decades, what money can we spend when we are old? Why don't we just save it up and share it with you later?" Mother Ye knocked on his bowl angrily, and then put away her own bowls and chopsticks .

"Hurry up and eat it for me. After eating, make room for me to wash the bowl. After eating for a long time, if you break your mouth, you will talk back. Sooner or later, you will be mad at you."

"I learned from you, things like lip service should be hereditary, right?"

"You are the best!"

he was great
Let his mother give her a hand and stop talking back.

Everyone at the table has long been accustomed to bickering between the mother and son, and if they don't say a few words to each other, the sun will definitely come out from the west.

Mother Ye put the bowls and chopsticks by the stove first, and there was still a pot of hot water in the pot, so she had to scoop the water into a thermos to keep warm first.

Seeing the funnel on the top of the stove, she tiptoed to take it, then put it into the opening of the thermos bottle, and then poured water into it with a ladle.

After the two thermos bottles were filled, there was still a little hot water in the pot, so she added a scoop of cold water to it, and it was just warm enough to wash the dishes.
