Chapter 21: Restless and Wanting to Sleep with His Wife

Azheng pinched Ye Yaodong's cheek, looked left and right. "Everyone is from the seaside, why can't you get tanned? If I were as fair as you, I wouldn't be a bachelor!"

"Are you sure it's just being fair? This is the real hard injury!" Ye Yaodong reached out his hand and placed it on his head, then slanted it to his shoulder!

Azheng was annoyed. "Damn, I'm 170!"

"169 rounded up to 170?"

"That's still 170!"

"Hahaha~~"

Everyone was laughing and joking, one sentence after another, the atmosphere couldn't be more lively.

Ye Yaodong hadn't laughed so easily with his friends for a long time. The second half of his life was basically busy for a living. "Young and not diligent, old and sad," that was exactly him!

After eating and drinking enough, the sky also darkened a bit, and the table was a mess.

Ye Yaodong burped. "You guys clean up, Fatty and I have been busy all afternoon!"

"It's fine, leave it for me to clean up."

"Fart, you'll definitely order your sisters to do it. Didn't drink today, and it's not completely dark yet, everyone just clean it up." Ye Yaodong's mentality now was much more mature than when he was young. It wasn't like eating at a restaurant, as a person in a civilized society, he definitely had to clean up what he ate himself.

"Fine, fine, fine, everyone do a little, cleaning up is fast."

Reminded by him, the others also moved. Just a few bowls and chopsticks, simple!

"There's still Dragon-Phoenix Soup in the pot, do you still want to eat? It's just a bit cold."

Ye Yaodong leaned over to take a look. There wasn't much meat left, but there was quite a lot of soup. "Pack a bowl for me to take back, let my wife and son drink a couple of mouthfuls too."

"Rare to have leftovers, pack a bowl of soup for me too," Hearing Xiao Xiao said.

The other few didn't say they wanted any. They either didn't have wives or children, or like Fatty, their family conditions were relaxed and they weren't worried about food or drink.

Everyone was a childhood friend, who ate a bit more, who ate a bit less, what did it matter?

Ye Yaodong packed a big bowl of soup and a few scattered pieces of meat and left first to take it home.

A-Guang's house was at the foot of the back mountain, not far from their house, a ten-minute walk. But he was carrying soup in his hand, afraid of spilling it, so he didn't dare walk too fast.

By the time he got home, the sky was already completely dark. The neighbors didn't have anything to do after dark, so to save on electricity bills, they all went to bed early, and the lights in their house were also off.

He pushed the big door. "Damn, locked? Who locked it?"

Cursing in a low voice, he walked to the side of the house, to the window of his own room, and saw the window was just open, but there was no sound inside.

He knocked lightly twice and called out in a low voice, "A-Qing, A-Qing? Asleep yet? Open the door for me, the door is locked and I can't get in."

"Father!"

"Father!"

The two children had their eyes closed but hadn't fallen asleep yet. Hearing the movement at the window, they both hurriedly climbed up.

Lin Xiuqing was so angry she was about to explode. She had almost coaxed the two children to sleep, and they were woken up again!

This troublemaker!

"You guys aren't asleep yet? Just right, I brought you something delicious, hurry and call your mother to open the door for me!"

The eldest son heard there was something delicious and was instantly full of spirit. "Mother, hurry and open the door, Father can't get in!"

"Got it, keep your voice down, don't disturb others' rest. I'll go open the door, you guys wait in the room."

Lin Xiuqing put on her slippers and opened the door to go out with light steps, trying to keep the movement as small as possible so as not to disturb others. Ye's father and Ye Yaopeng still had to go out to sea at night, so they must be asleep by now.

Ye Yaodong walked to the big door again and looked at his wife, who opened the bedroom door with a dark face. He coaxed patiently, "Don't be angry, I'll definitely come back earlier next time. I brought you Dragon-Phoenix Soup, heat it up and eat."

"What Dragon-Phoenix Soup?"

"Cobra stewed with chicken, added pork ribs, clears heat and detoxifies, and nourishes. I specifically scooped a bit more soup, it's already cold, need to heat it up. Who locked the door? Did it on purpose, right?"

Lin Xiuqing took the soup and gave him a look that said 'you know it,' letting him figure it out himself.

"Mother locked it?"

"Mm, told me not to open it, let you sleep at the big door tonight, wake up your brain!"

Ye Yaodong: Own mother!

"You heat up the soup, I'll go to the back door to take a shower."

On a hot day, he didn't need hot water. Going to the back door to draw a bucket of well water and pouring it over himself was more refreshing.

By the time he entered the room again, there was only a little firelight in the stove, illuminating the main room a bit. Light was also leaking from the crack in his bedroom door, which was especially obvious in the dark night.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Lin Xiuqing was sitting by the bed feeding their two sons, the two children opening their mouths and taking turns eating one bite each.

"Heated it up so fast?"

"Mm, on a hot day, don't need to eat it too hot, just heat it up a little so there's no oil."

"Father, what meat is this? All bones, not delicious!" The eldest son complained while eating.

"Not delicious, yet you're eating it bite after bite. After eating, go pee for me before sleeping. If you wet the bed tonight, I'll beat you!"

"I won't wet the bed!"

Ye Yaodong took a pair of shorts and walked to the side of the frame bed to change, threw the ones he changed out of into the stool in the corner, and then climbed onto the bed and lay down.

"How much money did the two green crabs sell for today?"

"One yuan and five mao, Mother gave it to me, I put it away."

He curled his lips, truly damn cheap!

"Leave a bit for your mother, don't eat it all."

Lin Xiuqing said gently, "It's fine, if they want to eat, let them eat it all."

Not much time had passed since they finished eating, and the two children weren't very hungry. After drinking a few mouthfuls of soup and eating two pieces of meat, they didn't eat anymore.

"They're not eating, you eat it all, I already ate outside."

"Oh!"

After the two children finished eating, they started jumping on the bed, playing and laughing. Not careful, they stepped on Ye Yaodong's foot and fell onto him together.

Ye Yaodong let out a muffled groan. It was a good thing his hand had been covering his important parts, otherwise, they would have pressed on them!

He slapped each of their bare little butts. "Not allowed to make noise, lie down and sleep for me."

"No, I can't sleep!"

"Played crazy all day, and still can't sleep? Even if you can't sleep, lie down properly for me, each to your own place."

Yielding to his lewd power, the two children obediently lay side by side inside.

Lin Xiuqing ate the remaining soup and meat, then turned off the light, lowered the mosquito net, lay down beside Ye Yaodong, and reached out to pat the two children's chests, coaxing them to sleep.

The two in front were still saying they weren't tired, but before she patted them a few times, they were both asleep.

Ye Yaodong borrowed the moonlight to look at his wife, who was lying beside him with her back to him, wearing only a vest and shorts, and felt a bit restless...

But he was also a bit cowardly, not daring to reach out...

Just as he turned over, preparing to reach out, she sat up again. He hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Xiuqing looked at him inexplicably. "Sleeping!"

She turned in a different direction and lay down at his feet.

Ye Yaodong also remembered. This frame bed wasn't easy to sleep on with four people lying side by side. Ever since the second child was born, his wife would climb to the other end to sleep staggered after coaxing the children to sleep.

Damn it, clearly just reaching out a hand could have made it happen!

Now he had no choice but to climb up and change to the other end too.
