Chapter 1409: Cute and Lovely

Ye Huimei's eyes widened in surprise.

Both girls slumped their shoulders, lowered their heads, and then kept hiding behind Ye Yaodong, trying to hide and reduce their presence.

But could they hide?

"These two did it? Lawless, they dare to take scissors when they are so small. What if they poke somewhere?"

Ye Yaodong also echoed, "Right, what if they fall and poke themselves? If I moved around in my dream, it would have poked my head."

He thought about it and had lingering fear, becoming even angrier. He turned around, grabbed Ye Xiaoxi, and slapped her butt hard a few times.

"So bold, and you dare to take scissors. Next time I'll poke a few holes in your body first to see if you're afraid..."

"Afraid, afraid, afraid... don't hit... won't dare again..."

Ye Huimei also grabbed Pei Yu, hit her hard, and then scolded while dragging her home.

"Itchy skin, I don't have time to watch you and you rebel. Are scissors something you can take? Such dangerous things, don't you want your life?"

The brother and sister each carried one and hit them.

Ye Yaodong didn't have a handy weapon outside, so he casually picked up a tree branch on the side of the road, carried it and hit them. No matter how she jumped, she couldn't escape his palm.

The two girls cried and shouted, saying they wouldn't dare again.

And the crying and shouting of the two woke up Aguang, who was sleeping like a pig in the room.

Aguang woke up and screamed, then shouted for Huimei, and pushed open the window to watch the brother and sister hitting people.

"Huimei, who cut my hair?"

Ye Huimei scolded, "You're like a pig. You didn't even know when your hair was cut. I'm also convinced by you. You could actually sleep so soundly."

"Who did it?"

"Who else could have done it? Besides these two, who else could enter your room? These two girls took advantage of when I wasn't paying attention and did it together."

"Damn, the bed is full of hair, this dead girl..."

Ye Huimei scolded while hitting the child, "You're also dead. Two children climbed onto the bed to cut your hair, and you didn't know?"

"I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep much for a day and a night. After returning, in the middle of the night, this one cried, that one peed, so I ran to another room to sleep well."

Aguang stretched his head out of the window, and also reached out to shake his hair. Small broken hair also fell down with a 'clatter'.

"These two dead girls, they can play with anything, and they dare to take scissors. They must be beaten well. Don't just manage the twins, look at the big ones too. Mixing with Ye Xiaojiu, both are lawless."

"Can I spare my hand? These two are enough to keep me busy, and I have to arrange for the whole family to eat and drink."

"Let Dongqing give you a hand more."

"She is also busy non-stop."

Aguang waited until he finished shaking, looked up, and realized that Ye Yaodong was the same as him.

"Hahaha, so you were also cut!"

"You're the one who was cut. Like a dead pig, you didn't even know when you were cut. If you had discovered it earlier, I wouldn't have been harmed either."

"Damn, you're not much better than me. You were also cut like a dog's gnawing."

Ye Yaodong carried Ye Xiaoxi and scolded, "Do you dare again?"

Ye Xiaoxi cried and shouted, "Don't dare, don't dare, won't dare to help you cut your hair again."

"Is it a problem of helping me cut hair? It's a problem of taking scissors."

"Won't dare to take scissors again."

"Not just scissors, sharp things like knives, dangerous things cannot be touched, do you know?"

Ye Xiaoxi cried with a nose full of tears, and said with a sobbing voice, "Know."

Ye Huimei also shouted at Pei Yu from the side, "Do you know?"

Pei Yu responded with teary eyes, "Know."

Ye Yaodong finished teaching the children, then dragged Ye Xiaoxi home, and told her not to run around, just stay honestly at home.

He also went to find the old lady to watch the children.

"Dongzi, why is your hair cut like this? Who cut it? Did you cut it yourself? Messing around..."

The old lady looked up, curiously reached out to touch it, but it was too short, and she couldn't reach it even if she stretched her hand.

"Not me, it's the two naughty dead girls. You go back and watch her, I'm going to get a haircut."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he went home to ride the motorcycle first. Aguang heard the movement of the motorcycle and hurriedly ran out.

"Dongzi... Dongzi... wait for me..."

The sound of the motorcycle was loud. Ye Yaodong had already ridden out, and only stopped after being reminded by children playing nearby.

Turning his head, Aguang was running behind.

"Told you to wait for me, don't I also have to go get a haircut?"

The children around pointed at the two people's hair and laughed loudly.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to wear a hat to cover it, but there was too much small hair, and if he wore a hat, it would all be hair. He had to give up.

"You were laughed at alone, now you've caused me to be laughed at too."

Aguang climbed onto the back seat of the motorcycle, looking at the children laughing at them, "Aren't you going to be laughed at anyway?"

"As long as I ride fast enough, no one will see my hair. Now that you called me to stop, I've been seen."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. Aguang leaned back due to inertia and hurriedly grabbed his clothes to sit firmly.

"Damn, do you want to die? You didn't even ask if I was sitting firmly before opening, almost thrown off by you."

"Good people don't live long, looking at you, you're not a good person."

"Damn, are you praising me or cursing me?"

Ye Yaodong didn't fight with him anymore and focused on riding.

As soon as he entered the village, he realized that the village was also decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the utility poles overhead were fluttering with colored flags, which was no less than the New Year.

After they finished their haircuts and returned, he found out that Ye Xiaoxi had been beaten by Lin Xiuqing again in her spare time.

When he entered the door, he saw her crying out of breath, sitting at the courtyard door hugging the dog, ignoring him and not moving aside to let him in.

He picked her up and put her to the side, only then did he make room to push the bike in.

After entering the room, the old lady said she had been beaten again, and only then did he know.

He turned his head and looked at her, but didn't care about this dead girl, and went to wash his hair first.

After coming out refreshed, he ignored her and walked straight to the workshop.

But after walking only a few steps, he thought about it and turned his head back, just in time to see her aggrieved look at him and her mouth already pouting downward.

Seeing him turn his head to look at her, she instantly burst into tears with a 'wa'.

Ye Yaodong was both angry and amused. He walked toward her again, wiped her tears while saying, "Aren't you quite stubborn? Didn't say a word, why are you crying now?"

"You're bad, you're bad, you hit me as soon as you came back, wuwuwu... After you hit, Mom hit me again... wuwuwu, hate you..."

"Who told you to take scissors and cut my hair secretly?"

"It's because your hair was messy, not good-looking, and you had a beard." She said while crying.

"Then I have to praise you for your filial piety? My hair is messy, I have a beard, when I wake up, I will naturally go to the barbershop to cut my hair and shave my beard. Do I need a little girl like you to worry about it?"

"Hate you!"

"Then I'm leaving, not caring about you?"

She didn't speak, kicking her two feet non-stop, throwing a tantrum.

Ye Yaodong wiped her tears dry with a handkerchief, and then picked her up.

"Alright, don't cry, take you to buy something to eat."

"Don't!"

"White Rabbit Creamy Candy..."

"Don't!"

"Lollipop?"

"Don't!"

"Soda drink?"

"Don't!"

"Watermelon bubble gum? Tang Seng meat?"

She hesitated for a moment, wiped her tears, and said with a sobbing voice, "Also want bubble gum for blowing bubbles."

Ye Yaodong imitated her tone, repeated it with a pouting mouth, but his face was pinched by her.

"Don't imitate!"

"Fine, fine, fine, take you to the small shop, buy whatever you want."

Ye Xiaoxi continued to pout, but she wasn't shedding tears anymore, acting spoiled and not speaking, only looking forward.

When she saw the small shop, she struggled to get off the ground herself, and then ran quickly toward the shop with her short legs.

Ye Yaodong filled her pockets, and only then did she smile. Her eyes and nose were still red, but she was already jumping and running home happily, not needing anyone to carry her.

But he was entangled by the villagers on the road to greet and talk, so he could only fall behind, shouting for her to slow down.

By the time he got rid of the villagers in the village and caught up, she had already disappeared. Only when she returned home did he see her sitting on the threshold comforting Pei Yu, sharing the things she bought with Pei Yu.

The two little girls happily started blowing bubble gum again, attracting the envy of the children around.

He took a look and turned to walk toward the workshop.

At this time, there were still people on the pier pushing sacks with flatbed carts to his workshop. Looking at their unhurried appearance, they probably slept until they woke up naturally.

Lin Xiuqing stood on the side watching. Dongqing and another little girl were busy recording the weight, and the workers were moving and weighing back and forth, and after weighing, they moved back to the warehouse.

Seeing him come, Lin Xiuqing immediately walked toward him.

"Finished haircut?"

Ye Yaodong touched his crew cut, feeling a bit chilly.

"Hmm, finished haircut and by the way let him shave my beard."

"Fortunately your daughter only thought about cutting your hair, and didn't take a kitchen knife to shave your beard."

"Lawless, dare to take a kitchen knife, I'll chop her hand off."

"Giving me trouble for no reason, still have to wash the quilt."

"Can't you put it in the washing machine?"

"The pillow and bed sheet are full of hair, how to wash it in the washing machine? Washing back and forth, isn't it still on the quilt? Originally, the washing machine doesn't wash clothes clean. I have to wash it once every day. Even the clothes worn inside in winter are thrown in to wash. They are all like monkeys, wearing them for a day, and the outer clothes are too dirty to be seen."

Lin Xiuqing hadn't seen him for too long, and the couple hadn't chatted face-to-face for a long time. She started to complain constantly, chattering about how naughty and dirty the children were.

Ye Yaodong also listened silently, watching the workers moving back and forth.

These sacks were marked. Whose sack would be marked with whose surname, and some would even add their own sorting.

So when they were moved onto the boat, they didn't need to be stacked separately and wouldn't be mixed up. When unloading, everyone could distinguish their own sacks.

"Do you want to go to the factory in town to take a look?"

"Want to, isn't this listening to your complaints? After listening, I'll go."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, "I'm just muttering that they are naughty. You do whatever you need to do. I'll watch here. After weighing, calculate the price, and I'll settle the account for them."

"Hmm, then I'll leave it to you to watch here, I'll go to town to see."

"Go, be careful."

Ye Yaodong saw that everything in the workshop was in good order and was well managed by her, so he was very relieved.

Standing for a while and looking around, he went back to push the motorcycle again.

The factory in town was the closest and most convenient, so naturally, he had to go see it first. Tomorrow, he would go to the city to check the accounts, collect the money, and then see his godfather, preferably bringing him back to watch the excitement.

Today is the seventh day. After strolling around the factory, he knew that the county had started singing big operas since the fifth day, and the whole town was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and he didn't know how many invitations had been sent out.

Moreover, the Taiwan compatriots in their town also received invitations. Both sides of the strait are one family, and the world's Mazu is one family.

Even Hong Wenle received an invitation from the county, and even asked him if he had received it. He was completely confused.

He directly borrowed the excuse that he returned in the early morning, just woke up early and came over, hadn't talked properly with his wife, and hadn't asked either.

As soon as he returned home, he immediately asked Lin Xiuqing.

Lin Xiuqing hurriedly said yes, and went to the drawer to flip through his invitation.

"How could you not have it? Who doesn't have it, you definitely must have it. We donated 2,000 yuan this year, and we are also big households."

"Even if we didn't donate this 2,000 yuan, we would definitely have it. You were rated as an advanced youth this year, and you are also a member of the Party School. How could you not have your share?"

"Received it a long time ago, received it at the beginning of the month. I've been putting it in the drawer, and it's not time yet, so I forgot to tell you."

"You returned only last night, and this morning you had that scene with your daughter, so I forgot to tell you. Quite a lot of people in the village received invitations. It seems that those who donated money have them."

"Everyone donated money quite actively a few months ago. The rich donated more, and those without money also meant a little. As long as the villagers have boats, the minority are tens of yuan."

Ye Yaodong just looked at the invitation, and his heart fell to the ground. Fortunately, he had his share, otherwise, wouldn't he have lost face?

The fish cannery in town was still under the name of his advanced youth, combined with Hong Wenle's overseas Chinese name, to ask the government for support and preferential policies, and even the land was given for free.

Generally, overseas Chinese are fat sheep. If you involve him, at least there is a local share, so he won't be slaughtered as a fat sheep. He also has a protective umbrella.

As long as there is one, this is said to be divided into inner and outer fields. With an invitation, there is also a set of clothes for kneeling and worshipping.

"Hmm, as long as there is one. I also heard it from A Le, and then I was confused. You keep it, I'll call my godfather. He is a cadre from the local area, he should have received an invitation."

"Then you call, I'll put it away."

Ye Yaodong went out to the hall to make a phone call again. It is convenient to have a phone at home.

He told Chen Juzhang that he had just returned in the early morning and planned to go to the city tomorrow, and would go to see him then.

By the way, he asked if he had received the invitation for the Mazu Millennium Festival. If so, he would pick him up tomorrow.

He talked on the phone for several minutes before hanging up.

Lin Xiuqing asked, "What did he say? Do you want to pick him up tomorrow?"

"Want to, he also received the invitation. Originally, he thought I wasn't at home, so he planned to take a bus back tomorrow. Didn't expect I had also returned."

"Then let him live in our house directly. Anyway, we have empty rooms, and the day after tomorrow is also the day we invite Mazu to the county with gongs and drums from here."

"Hmm, that's also possible. When the time comes, ask his opinion. The house in town hasn't been cleaned, and no one can live in it. It's convenient to live here. When the time comes to go to the county, I'll directly ride a motorcycle and follow behind with him."

"Then ask face-to-face tomorrow."

"How much dried fish was collected in the morning? Have the accounts been settled?"

"Settled, it's really not small, there are thirty-plus tons. You have to move it onto the boat again tomorrow, one boat to the city, otherwise a tractor can't fit it."

"Damn, unloaded and then loaded again."

"No way, you have to weigh it to calculate the money for people. Naturally, you have to unload it to weigh it. Originally, the goods weren't all on one boat."

"Early tomorrow, call people to load the cargo at 3 a. m., and leave after loading."

"Then you go and greet the workers in advance now."

"Hmm."

Even if they return, those workers are also paid wages, so naturally, they have to do the work that should be done.

Lin Xiuqing said again, "Then I'll go and tidy up a room upstairs and lay out the quilt."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong didn't stop his feet as soon as he returned. After greeting the workers, he was called by the village cadres to talk.

They talked about the kelp seedlings being hit by the tsunami. Although they knew that the most urgent thing now was to continue to replenish the seedlings, there was still time, and they were already doing it.

But when the village cadres saw him return, naturally they had to call him over to say a few words.

Ye Yaodong only felt that he should have returned a few days earlier. If he had returned a few days earlier and handled the internal and external affairs, he could have been more leisurely, and wouldn't have been so busy, feeling like he hadn't done anything, and the day had passed.

His father was quite idle, wandering around the village or the workshop all day, with his hands behind his back, like a landlord in the old society.

Even after dinner, he secretly leaned toward him, looking like a thief.

"Dongzi, I'll put 2,000 yuan with you first."

"What for?"

"Nowhere to hide. Today, my coat was almost washed by your mother. I said it was just worn, so she didn't wash it."

"Didn't you say you wanted to take it to the bank in town to deposit?"

"I thought so, but Old Pei's money hasn't been taken out. Isn't this not at ease? I thought I'd put it with you, and wait until the New Year to settle a sum for me. By then, I'll see if he has taken it out, and then I'll go deposit it."

Ye Yaodong was speechless, "Is it necessary to guard against my mother like guarding against a thief?"

"If I don't guard against her, wouldn't your money all have to go into her pocket, and then everyone will divide it together."

Makes sense.

The women in their village really can hold up half the sky. Men go out to sea to earn money dangerously, and naturally, the money earned is taken home for the wife to keep.

And women also earn a lot at home, and they are also laborers, so generally, women are the masters of the house, and there are many families where the ones who work hard are women.

Unless it's someone married from outside, then surely money can't be kept in the woman's hands, to avoid running away with the money.

"Bring it here," Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "I'll keep it for you first, settle it at the end of the year."

"I'll bring it to you when it gets dark."

"Damn, I won't care about you. You take it to the bank to deposit tomorrow yourself. What are you afraid of? Just that 2,000 yuan, it won't be gone."

Ye Yaodong left directly. He was also convinced by his father. He was not at ease with this, not at ease with that. He deserved not to have money in his hand, and shouldn't have money. Anyway, he didn't worry about food and drink.

Busy all day, he didn't stop at night, and still had to watch the workshop. Where did he have time to help his father with that 2,000 yuan?

"Hey... didn't we agree? You..."

The old lady leaned on a cane, standing at the door, looking at him with disgust, "What did we agree? Sneakily, like a thief, every day Dongzi Dongzi..."

"What does it have to do with you? You are everywhere, everything has to be said, everything has to be managed. At your age, what are you worrying about?"

Ye Fu was angry. What does it have to do with her? Everything has to be involved.

His degree of hatred for his mother is now second only to Ye Mu!

The two take turns in order.

After returning to his own home, Ye Mu can probably be promoted to the first most hated.

"Can't even let people speak? I say mine, and I didn't eat your rice. Fortunately, I didn't eat your rice."

Ye Fu glared at her and left directly.

The old lady poked her cane and scolded two 'coffin sons'.

Ye Xiaoxi heard a scene and ran back to the room to ask Ye Chenghu, who was doing homework, "Brother, what is a coffin son?"

"When you get old, lying in a coffin is also my son."

Seeing Ye Xiaoxi's confused look, he directly simplified it: "It's scolding people, meaning unfilial son."

Ye Xiaoxi shivered, "Grandpa is so pitiful..."

"Yes, and he has to carry manure every day, and then be scolded."

"Then you are also a coffin son."

"How can you scold people!"

"It's not me, Mom also scolds you like that every day, then will you carry manure when you grow up?"

"You dead girl."

Ye Chenghu was anxious. He was called a coffin son, but he didn't drop the pen in his hand.

"Then no, Dad calls me little baby." Ye Xiaoxi tilted her head, triumphant.

"Ugh... shameless."

Ye Chengyang laughed and added a knife, "But you were beaten by Dad this morning. You are no longer a baby, but a dead girl, stinky girl."

"Then it's better than you carrying manure, hum, I'll go find Grandpa and tell him to let you carry it later."

"Damn Ye Xiaojiu..."

"All for you, all for you..."

Ye Xiaoxi ran while pouting her butt and shaking it, and then ran out again.

Ye Chenghu was so angry that his face turned black behind her.

Ye Chengyang laughed loudly.

"Laugh at a fart, she said you will carry manure when you grow up."

"She said you, didn't say me."

"She also said you..."

"No, I didn't hear it, you heard it, so you carry it."

Ye Chenghu was so angry that his nose puffed, glaring at him fiercely.

Ye Chengyang hurriedly lowered his head to do homework, not caring about him. After finishing, he could go out to play.

Ye Chenghu was also angry, and the homework wasn't done, so he could only watch everyone run away.

Ye Xiaoxi jumped and ran to find Ye Yaodong, asking if she was his little baby.

The aunts and aunts around were amused.

"You are a little baby, then is your mother a big baby?"

"Right, Dad calls me little baby in the quilt every day, and calls Mom big baby!"

Ye Yaodong wanted to cover her mouth, but it was too late. ===== CHAPTER 1410 =====
