Back to the small fishing village in 1982

"Brother Dong, let's ask him not to talk. Just pretend that he doesn't exist."

The others nodded fiercely.

Little Stutter also closed his mouth and stopped talking, and just nodded.

"It's okay, I don't mind. It's okay to stutter, so why don't you let others talk to you? Stuttering is natural, it's not his own will, and it's not his fault. Just speak slowly to him. "

He stopped talking. Where did he get the laugh?
He was stunned for a moment and didn't come back to his senses. Now he feels that it's quite interesting. He lies in bed at night and learns it for his wife!
The teenagers immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that they would be disliked and told them to leave quickly. As long as they didn't dislike it, they were a little nervous just now.

Little Stutter was also touched. He had been laughed at since he was a child, and his brothers and sisters disliked him and didn't like to play with him. His parents didn't like him either, so these few friends were the only ones willing to take him to play. Now he has a Dong brother.

Instantly I felt my heart was filled, it felt so good to not be disliked and to be treated as equals.

"Brother Dong, you are so kind!"

"Huh? Don't give out good people cards. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, say it quickly."

Wang Guangliang quickly moved the person next to him aside, revealing another load of firewood behind him.

"We are not sure this afternoon whether you have been arrested or not. Some people in the villages around us said that you were arrested and had to sit through the jail. Some people said that you were released by a big shot."

"We weren't sure, so we didn't dare to come over to inquire. We just wanted to come over and have a look at night. But, we didn't have the nerve to come empty-handed. We didn't have any money, so we chopped a pile of firewood."

"Hey, don't be offended, it's all useful anyway, etiquette is less important than affection!"

Ye Yaodong twitched the corner of his mouth. It was really a gift that was light on gifts but heavy on affection. He had never seen anyone give a gift like a load of firewood. It was special and unusual.

"Thank you very much. This is also a necessity. It saves me having to go up the mountain to chop it."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Anyway, I'm sure you're back okay. Just be at home."

"Brother Dong, were you really released by a big shot?" The other teenager looked at him curiously, with admiration on his face.

The others also pricked up their ears, waiting for his answer.

"Yes and no, don't be so curious. Anyway, whether there is a big shot or not, I don't speculate. I am a good citizen who abides by the law and only makes money with conscience."

"Oh, by the way, let me ask, was it you who threw the feces in Lao Wang's house last night?"

"Yeah, last night I heard someone said that you were taken to the border guard station by Big Cap. We were shocked, and then we held a meeting and thought it was this group of bastards who did it."

"Otherwise, no one would report it at this juncture. If they didn't report it earlier, they wouldn't report it later. It's such a coincidence. How could such a coincidence happen?" Wang Guangliang said indignantly.

Others also echoed, "Yes, they were beaten just after they made a feud. I must have guessed that it was Brother Dong who did it, and then they went to report it."

"It's unmistakable, it must be them..."

"So we didn't sleep last night and planned to punish them..."

"Yes, we can't kill people and set fires. We can also punish them. Last night, we used a truck to quietly push out all the toilets at home, filled them up and sent them to their homes..."

"Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop. You don't need to describe it in such detail. Just know that it was you who did it."

Still full...

Ye Yaodong quickly stopped them from continuing to describe, and if he continued to tell them, he didn't know what he could describe.

"Did it cause trouble for you?" Wang Guangliang was a little nervous.

"That's not true. It may have helped me find the person who wrote the anonymous report letter today."

"Who did it!"

"Who did it!"

"Tip, tinker, tinker with him, he, he..."

"Yes, mess with him... who did it!"

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Stuttering comes down to stammering, and it's quite belligerent...

"The daughter of Lao Wang's family, the wife of a friend of mine, there is no need to mess with her, she is a woman, anyway, almost the whole village knows that she did it, her reputation will be ruined in the future, no one dares to associate with her, that's all."

"Woman, okay..."

"She's a woman... Then how can I fix it..."

"Repaying a friend's wife, this is so unethical, and he even reported it, it's disgusting."

"If your wife fails to marry well, she will ruin three generations. You will keep your eyes open in the future..."

"Dongzi? Who are you talking to? Who are they?"

Ye Mu went for a tour of the village after dinner and wanted to ask someone for him. She boarded the boat with him at night. After saying hello, she wanted to come over and say something to him. She saw him standing at the gate of the courtyard talking to a few teenagers. Muttering.

Her eyes were like searchlights, looking up and down, left and right, back and forth, looking at several people inside and out. She also walked around them and saw that the boards on the side were piled with firewood.

"When did you meet? Where did you get the firewood?"

Ye's mother was full of doubts. She had never seen these boys in the village. When did Dongzi get to know such a young boy again?
"mother……"

Suddenly, Mother Ye felt blessed and said, "Ah!"

She pointed at the group of teenagers with her finger, "You told them to beat people and throw excrement at them?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Ye Yaodong saw children running and jumping in the distance. He quickly pulled his mother into the yard and called the teenagers to come in and talk.

In order not to wait outside and be seen by the neighbor's children, the adults were all in the house and did not come out. They probably took a shower and did the laundry.

After Ye Mu was pulled into the yard, she slapped him hard, lowered her voice and cursed through gritted teeth.

"You did it, and you still swear in the daytime? You brat, can you swear this Mazu's oath casually? I'll beat you to death for being a dishonest person, can you swear casually? Can you make fun of gods casually? ?You want to make me mad..."

"No, no, no... you listen to me..."

"Let's do it, let's just refuse to admit it. Do you want to swear? Can Mazu's oath be freely given to you..."

"What are you doing? Why are you beating him? Why did you hit him? You took the wrong medicine, or you took explosives. Okay, why did you catch him and beat him as soon as you came back? Stand still... stand still..."

Ye Yaodong hid to the side, and his mother chased him and beat him, not giving him a chance to explain. It was the old lady who came down from the steps and stopped in front of him, and his mother stopped talking and cursing.

Only then did he have a chance to speak.

"Can you listen to me? I'm so hot-tempered every day that I don't give anyone a chance to speak."

Lin Xiuqing didn't hear the sound at first, but she saw the mother and son jumping up and down in the yard, and hurriedly walked out. Then she heard it and hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"Mom, Adong swore that he was not the one who did it last night. He did not say that he was not the one who beat the person..."

"what?"

Ye Yaodong also glared at his mother angrily, biting his tongue and said, "Can I swear casually? It wasn't me who did it last night, so I swore like that."

"When I swore, I also said that it wasn't me who did it last night, and I didn't involve the beatings two days ago. That's all what the villagers and you made." He glanced at the corner and glared at me again. The young people with big eyes watching the excitement, it’s true that he couldn’t save some face for him in front of so many people.

The young people shook their heads politely.

"We didn't see anything!"

"I, I, I, we, we...no, no, no, no, no, no, no, uh, uh..."

"you shut up!"

Ye Mu also understood, "So you were the one who ordered the beating a few days ago, but you weren't the one who ordered it yesterday?"

"Correct."

"Then they did it themselves yesterday? It has nothing to do with you."

"Correct."

"Oh, these young men are very sensible and clever, sit down, you're welcome..." Mother Ye immediately put on a smiling face and invited the young men to sit under the eaves.

Ye Yaodong was also convinced by his mother. He had just beaten him, and he didn't feel awkward when he found out that he had misunderstood. He could still turn his head and greet others with a natural smile.

"No, no, no, we're just going to deliver some firewood and see if Brother Dong is back. It'll be good if he's back. If he's back, we have to leave too."

"I also gave you firewood. You are so polite. There are cut watermelons in the house. I will get you some pieces of watermelon to eat..." Ye Mu hurried into the house.

Ye Yaodong shook his head helplessly, and then saw them again, "You go and bring back the firewood first, and I will get you a few packs of cigarettes."

"no, I'm fine……"

Without listening to them, he went directly into the house to get it. The one he just bought a few days ago happened to be divided into 7 people per pack.

After all, they stayed up all night last night to torment the old Wang family for him. Although, well, it was not his instigation, but they had this intention, and he had to accept this sentiment.

I even chopped firewood and came over to take a look at it in the evening. If I don't pay, I have to give each other a pack of cigarettes. Thank you for your hard work.

After dividing them, he watched them move firewood and asked his mother if the people who went to sea at night had called him.

"Your cousin and the others will be alive tomorrow, or they have something else to do and call you..."

"We! Brother Dong is looking for us! We are free, we have a lot of time, we have a lot of time, we will go with you, or if there are too many people, you can just pick one or two, or two or three..."

Others quickly stopped moving firewood and volunteered, "Yes, yes, we are all free. Come find us and we will go with you."

"Yes, Brother Dong, we will go with you. We will do whatever you tell us to do..."

"I don't want wages, I'll go with you to get to know each other..."

"I, I, I, I, no, no, no, no, I am not dizzy..."

"I don't get seasick, I'll go..."

"I'm not seasick either...Brother Dong, look at me, look at me..."

Everyone was squeezing around to get in front of him, and they almost started fighting.

Mother Ye's eyes widened as she looked at them, what's going on with these teenagers?

Ye Yaodong also looked at them funny, "What are you doing? Why don't you be so active? I'm very tired from going to sea and have to get up in the middle of the night..."

"We are not afraid, we can stay up all night..."

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't sleep, we are strong~"

"I-I-I-I-I--"

The little stutterer was pushed aside as soon as he said a word, "Don't you, Brother Dong, why don't you pick one or two at random? You don't have to call others, and you have to pay for calling others. We will do whatever you ask us to do, and we will do it well. Dry."

"Yeah, don't ask others. We can do anything. If we don't know how to do it, we will be able to do it soon if you teach us."

Ye's mother didn't wait for Ye Yaodong to speak, and immediately answered him happily, "You can do it too, just come and go to sea with him. Anyway, there is another boat working around us."

She immediately turned her head and winked at Dongzi, asking him to agree. Where can I find free labor for free?There are so many here all at once!

"Didn't you find it for me already?"

"I asked around before, but none of your cousins ​​are available. Your uncle said it's okay. I'll tell him later that you have already found someone in advance. It doesn't matter if you are a member of the family. You can just call one of them. Anyway, it's just for him. A few days, your father will be back in two days."

The young men nodded and looked at him.

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, that's okay. Let's call one of them first to see if the work is quick and diligent. Anyway, another boat is also in the surrounding waters.

These people can also protect Stutterer from being bullied and take him to play with him. Thinking about it, they won't be so unconscionable and have no bottom line.

And he's only a teenager, less than 20 years old, and he probably hasn't been beaten very much. If you can take him, then take him and have a look.

"That's alright, I'll just go with you for the rest of the night."

"I, I, I, I, I..." Little Stutterer's eyes widened in disbelief, and he pointed at himself, stammering for a long time, and still saying, "I..."

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly one word at a time. You just need to talk about me. Don't rush to say the rest. Stop first and start talking word by word. It should be better."

"Good good..."

Little Stutter rubbed his hands back and forth a little excitedly, "Well, then, then, then, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, how much... dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot..."

Mother Ye couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, and stared at Ye Yaodong speechlessly, as if to say, why are so many people shouting?

Ye Yaodong glanced at his mother and said, "Wait at the pier around 2 o'clock. The tide is not that early today, so you can be about half an hour later."

"I...one by one must be sure...on time..."

Wang Guangliang couldn't help but hold his forehead, pretending to be in pain, "Brother Dong, please change someone else. I've been listening to this for more than ten years, and I can't stand it..."

Others also felt the same way and nodded along.

"Yes, let's find someone else. It's too uncomfortable to listen to him. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"We usually tell him to talk less. You can call us whoever you want, but don't call him. Don't make yourself suffer."

"Yeah, it's too hard to hear him say a word..."

The little stutterer was also a little embarrassed, "Well then, then, then, then, then, forget it..."

Ye Yaodong also couldn't help but laugh and wanted to laugh.

"It's okay, I don't mind. You speak slowly and I listen slowly. Anyway, we are working on the boat. There is no need to say anything. You just need to have ears and be able to listen."

"Okay, okay, let me listen, listen, listen..."

The teenagers all pretended to be in pain and turned away, not wanting to listen to him.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, take a break and go get a watermelon to eat to quench your thirst..."

He couldn't help but hold his forehead, almost being affected...
