Chapter 230: Stewed
After the meal, the sky was just getting dark. Ye Yaodong sat at the door to chat with the surrounding aunts, uncles, and neighbors. Anyway, if he didn't chat with them, they would chat about him behind his back.
Chatting face-to-face, he could still hear a few good words.
By the way, he pulled out two cigarettes for the old men on the side, but these old men waved their hands very politely, saying they would just smoke rolled cigarettes or water pipes.
That is, just take a piece of paper and roll the tobacco to smoke.
Most of the old men were like his father, with water pipes in their hands, smoking with a "gulu gulu" sound. They were used to smoking water pipes, and might not be used to cigarettes.
Ye Yaodong looked at the children playing with the turtles on the side and instructed them not to catch them, just play on the ground.
Then he chatted with these neighbors about this year's harvest in the fields, the harvest of fruit trees, and by the way, talked about life by the sea, and then followed the old people to praise the leaders, making everyone's life better and better.
Then he listened to everyone's praise for him, saying that a son-in-law is half a son. When his father-in-law had an accident, he immediately brought big and small bags of things to visit, praising Aqing for finding a good husband. They didn't know before when nothing happened, and only listened to gossip...
Ye Yaodong felt happy in his heart. This shows that his impression has been reversed very well during this period of time.
At this time, Lin Mu finished washing the pots and bowls and planned to take a soft-shelled turtle to kill and stew. But the children protected it like a treasure and refused to let Lin Mu kill it, and even hugged it and hid far away.
Lin Guangyuan didn't pay attention for a moment, and after walking a few steps, he was bitten hard by the soft-shelled turtle in his hand, instantly letting out a scream.
Ye Yaodong hurriedly ran forward, only to see that the soft-shelled turtle bit Lin Guangyuan's hand tightly and didn't let go. No matter how the children pulled, it wouldn't let go.
"Go away, go away, all go away, don't pull randomly, this soft-shelled turtle is cruel, it's not easy to let go once bitten," Ye Yaodong waved away the children who were in the way and touched his pocket. "Why are you so careless? I taught you how to catch it, and you still got bitten."
Lin Guangyuan was already a young teenager. Even if it hurt to death, he held back his tears and didn't let them fall.
Ye Yaodong touched the matches in his pocket and struck them. After the small flame came out, he vulgarly burned the soft-shelled turtle's butt. The effect was very fast!
It immediately let go and fell to the ground, and its whole head shrank in.
Lin Guangyuan's index finger was bitten, and it was bloody. Lin Mu and Lin's eldest sister-in-law felt distressed and hurriedly surrounded him into the house, giving him some pot bottom ash to stop the bleeding.
This scared the children, and they didn't dare to reach out to catch it anymore. Ye Chenghu hurriedly threw the soft-shelled turtle on the ground, fearing that he would also be bitten.
"Now you know how powerful it is? I told you to be careful when playing, and catch less with your hands. You all turned a deaf ear."
"It was Grandma who said she wanted to take it to stew, so we caught it."
"Don't catch it anymore, just put it on the ground."
"Got it, then Dad, don't stew them, okay?"
Ye Yaodong had already glanced at them, giving them a look to understand for themselves!
One by one, they were scared and honest, only daring to poke it with branches, not daring to move their hands to turn it over and play anymore.
He went into the house to take a look again. Lin Guangyuan's hand had been wrapped in gauze, and there was no tear stain on his face. He looked quite tough.
Ye Yaodong patted his shoulder. "It's okay, I'll stew it tonight to avenge you."
Lin Guangyuan instantly smiled. "Little Uncle, you want to eat it yourself, right?"
"Who said that? Eating is just incidental. Originally, I wanted to leave it for them to play with."
Lin Xiuqing smiled and rolled her eyes at him. "Believe you, a ghost. When they have played enough and are asleep, you will definitely catch it and stew it."
"Hehe~ If you don't eat it, keep it and raise it. What if it dies? If it dies, then it can't be eaten, wasting things."
Lin Mu said with a smile, "Now everyone is in high spirits. Wait until they are asleep before stewing."
"Then kill a pomelo to eat now? When going up the mountain in the afternoon, the eldest shook the branch, and one fell down."
Lin Mu went to the sack in the corner and took one out. "Just picked pomelo, it will be delicious after a few days. The one in the sack was picked a few days ago, just right to eat."
Ye Yaodong took the pomelo, cut off the top with a knife, drew a few more knives around his body, took out the whole pomelo meat, and the remaining pomelo skin was like a hat. He took it out directly and put it on Ye Chengyang's head.
"Give you a hat!"
"Ah, hat!" Ye Chengyang happily touched the pomelo hat on his head and shook his head happily.
This is simple happiness!
Divide the pomelo meat, give two petals to each person, and then he drove the children back to the room. The wind was strong at night, and it was completely dark now, and there was no one at the door.
After returning to the room, they were reluctant to return to their rooms, still forming a circle, continuing to poke the two turtles on the floor of the hall with branches.
Lin Mu randomly picked a pleasing back of the head and slapped it. "These two turtles will be played into straw bags by you sooner or later. Hurry up and go back to the room to wash your feet and sleep. You ran on the mountain for a day, and you are not tired, and you are still playing there. You must all get up and go to the mountain to help pick oranges before dawn tomorrow. Go to sleep early for me at night."
"Got it."
"Play for a while, the sky is just dark..."
As soon as the words fell, the back of the head next to him was slapped again. This time it was the eldest sister-in-law who hit her own second child. "All go back to the room to sleep, and get up early tomorrow."
"Oh oh oh oh oh..."
A group of children were unwilling, and walked to the room step by step, looking back three times.
Only the two Ye Chenghu brothers were still surrounding there.
Ye Yaodong grabbed both turtles and put them in a washbasin, scaring the two brothers, who hugged his two legs on each side.
"Dad, don't eat them, okay?"
"Got it, not eating, go back to the room to sleep."
He took the two children, one on each side, tucked them under his armpits and walked to the room. It was rare to see them like them so much, so he wouldn't eat them for now, and let them play for two more days.
However, he thought so, but he forgot about Lin Mu.
After everyone entered the room, Lin Mu turned around and killed one and stewed it.
He was lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep when he smelled a rich fragrance and instantly woke up. Is this in the pot?
Alright, now there will be two crying when they get up tomorrow morning.
Thinking so, but it had already been stewed, so it didn't hinder him from getting up to eat.
Lin Xiuqing whispered, "Mom stewed the soft-shelled turtle?"
"Should be, I'll go out and take a look. You can't eat this stuff."
"I know."
Before he could put on his clothes and go out, Lin Mu came to knock on the door. He hurriedly put on his pants and went to open the door.
Bowls of soft-shelled turtle soup had already been served on the table.
"Mom, how many did you kill?"
"Just killed the big one."
"That's good, at least one was left, otherwise the two will cry miserably tomorrow."
"It's just thinking that they will cry, so I only killed one. Keep that one first, let them play for two days, and then you can take it back and stew it. Hurry over and eat while it's hot, eat two mouthfuls to replenish your body."
The eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law also came out of the room at this time, each holding a bowl to eat. Lin Mu also served a bowl to Lin Fu in the room.
The three men discussed while eating that they would take time to go to the river tomorrow.
"It's really annoying to be bothered by the children in the house. Seeing that their cousins have them, they all want one."
Lin Xiangyang also echoed, "Yes, I was also bothered by the ones in my house just now in the room, insisting that I catch one for them tomorrow, saying that the cousins have them, and they want them too..."
"This stewed one, my two will cry tomorrow, probably asking me to catch another one for them. It's hard to be a father."
"No way, who told you to catch two back today."
"Isn't it just a matter of hand when I saw it? I don't believe you wouldn't catch it if you saw it."
Lin Xiang Hui smiled. "Catching is definitely to be caught, and eating is definitely to be eaten. Let them cry if they want to cry."
Lin Xiangyang held the big bowl and took a big sip of soup, then said casually, "Just scare them with a whip. If they are really noisy, just beat them, and they will all be honest immediately."
Ye Yaodong:...
Fathers all over the world are the same!
Now he can eat without any burden. "Huala huala" first drink a big sip of soup, then pick up a piece of gelatinous meat, fragrant~
The three men ate to their heart's content, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and went back to the room to sleep.
Ye Yaodong lay back beside Lin Xiuqing and hugged her to sleep.
Very pure, he didn't think about doing anything this time.
At his mother-in-law's house, he was embarrassed to be so shameless, so he naturally had to restrain himself a bit, although he felt that he was full of strength now...
But it doesn't matter, energy can be saved, thick accumulation and thin hair!
Seeing that he was honest, Lin Xiuqing also fell asleep with peace of mind.
The next morning, just as the sky broke, the rooster started to crow, and the whole village instantly came alive in the silence. There were chicken crowing and dog barking sounds everywhere. Not long after, there were some talking sounds at the door.
Ye Yaodong woke up when he heard the rooster crowing. Seeing that the whole family was sleeping soundly, he got out of bed lightly, but still woke up the person beside the pillow.
"So early?"
"The sky is bright. Your brother said yesterday that they all go up the mountain to pick oranges as soon as the sky is bright. If you get up early to work, you can finish early. You continue to sleep."
Since he came to his father-in-law's house to help with work, he must follow their time. The work must be done beautifully.
"Mm." Lin Xiuqing smiled, satisfied, and continued to close her eyes.
The mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she looks, the more satisfied she is.
Lin Mu is now in such a state. Seeing her son-in-law get up early and prepare to go up the mountain to pick oranges with them, her face bloomed with a smile, and she was very happy.
"Why did you get up so early? No need to be so early, the sky is just bright. Go back to the room and make up for a sleep, sleep a little longer."
Ye Yaodong smiled. "The rooster crowed, and I woke up. Usually, when going to sea, I get up at two or three in the morning. Today is not early."
"That's so tired at home, and I didn't have a good sleep when I came over..."
"No, it's not that I go to sea every day..."
After he finished speaking, he simply washed up, ate breakfast with them, and then went up the mountain.
The children will be a little later. After all, they are growing, and it is impossible to call them up at four or five o'clock to go up the mountain.
Around seven o'clock, Lin Mu called them up. As a result, the two Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang brothers saw that one soft-shelled turtle was missing and cried directly.
And while crying, they scolded their father for not keeping his word and eating the soft-shelled turtle.
"I hate Dad! Woo woo woo... my turtle..."
"Hate Dad! Hate..."
"Woo woo woo... Dad didn't keep his word!"
The two's crying was higher than the other.
Ye Yaodong sneezed repeatedly on the mountain. He rubbed his nose. "Holy crap, it must be the two stinky kids scolding me!" ===== CHAPTER 231 =====
