Chapter 202: Daily beating
Today's return time is considered early.
As soon as he arrived home, Lin Xiuqing helped him take off his coat and filled him a bowl of pond goose meat.
His wife used it as a tonic stew, sweet. In their local area, tonic stews are all about going to the pharmacy to grab some tonic medicine, and then putting rice wine to stew it sweet.
Lin Xiuqing scooped a spoonful and handed it to him, saying with a smile: "Drink more soup, we all ate at noon, I scooped half a pot to the old house, this pond goose still had 20 jin after killing, you eat more."
"Hmm, since there is so much, you go scoop another bowl to eat, supplement more, your foundation is weak, one person eats and two people supplement."
"I shouldn't be able to eat it after dinner now, I'll eat it later, you eat first, pad your stomach, after eating, go squint for a while, after waking up, we'll have dinner again."
Really too thoughtful~
Ye Yaodong finished this bowl of pond goose soup beautifully, feeling that his whole body had strength. Originally, besides shaking on the boat, he wasn't tired, and now he was even more full of spirit.
After eating, he didn't plan to sleep. If he slept now, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
He called his eldest son, who was playing with water at the back door under the pretext of watering vegetables, and asked him to help carry the fish catch in the bucket and go to the old house with him.
Two red paste crabs, a few fish, just four or five jin heavy, let him hang it on his elbow, he could almost carry it. Boys have to exercise, and Ye Yaodong didn't feel bad about using him.
The old lady sat at the door and saw them from afar, greeted them happily, took the bucket from Ye Chengyang's hand, then hugged the child, called him a heart-liver baby for a while, and praised him again.
After loving the great-grandson, the old lady touched Ye Yaodong's arm back and forth with concern, "How is it, does the arm still hurt? Your father can't even hold chopsticks, are you the same? Too miserable, why are you so desperate? Did you let your wife wipe oil for you? Your mother also said that you went to sea with your two brothers today to collect that longline, did you just come back? Why didn't you rest for a while before coming over?"
The old lady asked a long string in one breath, and didn't give him a chance to answer, Ye Yaodong was crying and laughing.
He endured the soreness of his arm, barely lifted it to hug the old lady's shoulder and went into the house, laughing while walking, "You asked so many in a row, how do you want me to answer? Tea oil has been wiped, the problem is not big, rest for a few days and it will be fine. Did you eat the pond goose meat sent by Aqing? Is it delicious?"
"Delicious, delicious."
"I specially left two big green crabs in the bucket just now, they are red paste crabs, specially picked hard ones to leave, let my mother stew wine tomorrow, you eat a little each, supplement."
"Ah? Oh my, both legs are good? I thought it was the missing-legged ones brought over, why not take them to sell for money, still leave them back to eat, we have that pot of pond goose meat is enough..."
The old lady felt bad, green crabs are not swimming crabs, this is still red paste crab, worth a lot of money.
"Doesn't conflict, eat pond goose meat today, these two are left to stew tomorrow, won't die, it's fine."
"Don't don't... you take it back to eat yourself, we all have..."
"Ahma, you can eat with peace of mind, I earned big money yesterday, earned a lot of money."
The old lady still shook her head like a rattle, "Don't don't, you suffered a big crime yesterday, take it back to eat and supplement yourself, don't worry about us."
"I kept some for myself."
Ye Yaodong smiled and leaned over to the old lady's ear and whispered that he had earned back the cost of the boat yesterday.
It might be a little bit short, but this didn't prevent him from saying a little more to make the old lady happy.
The old lady heard the words and whispered happily: "Really?"
She put the bucket by the stove and handed it to Ye's mother, then pulled him into the room.
Ye's mother muttered two sentences mysteriously behind, seeing the green crabs in the bucket and wanting to ask two questions, the grandmother and grandson disappeared.
As soon as the old lady entered the room, she asked happily: "Your father and mother only said yesterday that they could sell for a lot of money, how much they collected, I don't know yet."
It was he who told his father and mother not to shout everywhere. His mother originally liked to tell the neighbors when there was something good in the family. It was not certain how much it could be sold for, no need to pull hatred.
【Speaking of which, the most useful app for reading and listening to books at present is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version.】
Although one night passed, it must have spread in the village, but it was not only his family who hit the big luck, others caught more goods than him, his mother should not be so high-profile, people would not keep their eyes on their family.
Low-key is better, can save a lot of things, his wife's stomach still needs to be hidden.
In case someone is jealous, and is targeted, and after discovering it, reports them directly, then it's over.
"Almost can earn back, I only tell you, you know it yourself, let my father and mother not shout, so as not to make people jealous."
"I know this, your mother just can't hide things, I'll talk about her later, if people want to guess, let them guess, don't shake your own bottom to everyone."
"Ahma, you still have wisdom! How does that sentence go, oh... there is an old man in the family, like a treasure..."
The old lady was coaxed by him to smile.
Ye Yaodong sat for a while, and then said a few words to his mother before going out to find his son. This guy came over and played crazy with other people's boys, and his face was red from the noise.
After going back, he continued to use this kid to carry the bucket for him, and sent the tiger grouper and more than ten big conchs to Lin Jishang's house again.
When he went, he just caught up with his mother cooking, and he had to keep him for two drinks.
Ye Yaodong hurriedly shook his head, explaining that he had used too much force yesterday, and his hands would probably not be able to lift in the past few days, so drinking was avoided, wait for next time.
While talking, he paid attention to his house. This was the first time he came to their house. Didn't expect that the smuggling work was booming, but his family was so simple, no different from other people's houses.
It was the same old furniture and wardrobes with broken arms and legs, and there was nothing strange or valuable in the hall, all common in ordinary families, even a radio was not seen, only a bicycle at the door was considered a big item.
But now having a bicycle is not eye-catching, families with better conditions in the village have it, maybe other big items are hidden in the room, who knows.
This can only show that their family is cautious, under the eyes of the villagers, they can still hide so tightly that no one has found it yet.
You know, now is the strict crackdown on smuggling in coastal areas, and if you are caught and go in, you definitely won't be able to come out for a few years.
The rumors in the previous life were already many years later, and their family was still quite careful.
Ye Yaodong chatted with him casually and said he had to rush home for dinner.
Originally, he thought that he was not the same person as him, and there was no need for deep friendship between the two, but now he felt that more friends mean more paths, anyway, he just didn't get involved in the things they were tinkering with.
In case he wants to buy something, it's more convenient to find him to buy! Purchasing agent!
As soon as Ye Yaodong came out of his house, he couldn't find his son again...
The little rabbit cub can run too much!
He stood at the door and shouted in the four directions of southeast, northwest in turn: "Ye Chenghu~ Ye Chenghu~~"
Don't know where he ran to, only heard his distant and vague response, so he had to wait for him on the spot.
After the person ran out of some corner panting, Ye Yaodong looked at his runny nose, mud everywhere on his sleeves and trouser legs, and even grabbed his sleeve to wipe his nose, he wanted to beat him. He never saw him have a clean time.
Mud and snot were mixed and stuck on his face, he couldn't bear to look.
"Go, go home and let your mother beat you."
"Why?" Ye Chenghu stared angrily, "I obediently ran errands for you, why should you beat me!"
"No reason, you go back and let your mother see your appearance, see if she beats you."
Ye Chenghu lowered his head and checked himself, suddenly feeling a bit guilty, pursed his mouth, "I didn't do it on purpose..."
"You go back and explain to her, it's useless to explain to me, walk faster."
"Can't you help me?"
"No."
"Why, I helped you carry things and run errands?"
"You only helped me carry things, and I still have to rely on her for my daily life, I can't go against her, I have to follow her, if she beats you, I definitely have to hand her the whip and praise her for beating well."
Which is lighter and which is heavier, he still distinguishes clearly, can't lose big because of small, welfare is important!
Ye Chenghu's eyes slanted upward, looking at him with great contempt.
Ye Yaodong's hands itched to smack him on the head, but his arms were truly aching terribly.
"What are you looking at? Watch the road! If you tear a hole in your pants again, just wait and see if your mother doesn't beat you soundly."
"Hmph hmph~"
Ye Chenghu made a face at him and skipped ahead, intending to go back first and plead for mercy.
Ye Yaodong followed closely behind, but he didn't expect to see a pile of things laid out on the table upon returning. The two children were squealing with excitement as they took things out, each holding a can, which caught him by surprise.
Lin Xiuqing was scolding them while putting things away. Seeing him return, she hurriedly asked, "You're back. Did you save someone at sea yesterday? Why didn't you mention it? I didn't even know."
She had been cooking when she saw two strangers come to the door, which gave her a fright. In this day and age, strangers showing up at the door rarely meant anything good, but she felt relieved after asking for clarification.
"I forgot for a moment. I was too tired last night and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Did they send these?" He hadn't been dwelling on their gratitude, so he hadn't specifically mentioned it to avoid worrying her.
"Yes, they said they went to buy things early this morning and then went door-to-door. Our house is far away, so it took them some time to walk over, which is why they only arrived at this hour. They arrived just after you left. Seeing that it was already mealtime, it wasn't appropriate to keep them long. They stayed for a while, said a few words of thanks, and left."
Ye Yaodong nodded casually, not paying it any mind.
"Dad, we want to eat the canned food~"
"Canned food~ canned food~"
Lin Xiuqing scolded, "It's time to eat dinner, what canned food? You're not allowed to eat anything."
Ye Yaodong also said, "Do you want to eat the whip? Why don't you show your mother how dirty you've gotten?"
"Ow~ Dad, why did you have to remind her? Mom didn't even see it!
!"
Ye Chenghu glared in anger, then nimbly climbed off the table intending to slip away, but was caught by the back of his collar, as expected.
"Ah~ Ow~ Mom, be gentle~ Don't hit me~ Don't hit me~"
Lin Xiuqing beat him while scolding, "Still trying to get away with it? You've already changed your clothes several times today, and your pants had a hole in them at noon..."
