Chapter 319: Going up the mountain (Adding more for Alliance Leader Shei De Yi Long, part 3)
After selling the goods, he walked back with his father.
When returning home, fearing to scare the children, the father and son first went to the back door to wash their faces before returning to the room to eat.
As soon as Ye Mother came back, she took advantage of the freshness to braise the squids. The whole room was filled with the fragrance of braising. Before it was out of the pot, the two children were gathered there asking questions.
"Go, go, don't be in the way around the stove all day, the meal is just eaten full, what are you asking? Keep it for tomorrow to match with rice, soak for one night to be more flavorful."
"But it's very fragrant, when will it be braised?"
"Not braised yet, tomorrow."
Lin Guangyuan sat at the table, supporting his chin and asking Ye Yaodong, "Little Uncle-in-law, how was your harvest today, did you return with a full load?"
"Almost."
"What goods did you catch?"
"Why ask so much? Even if I tell you, you don't know, and taking you is too far!"
"It's this sentence again, Little Aunt said the same today," Lin Guangyuan said with curiosity in his eyes, and flatteringly, "Little Uncle-in-law, is your boat short of people to work?"
"You are still small, talk about it when you are older."
"Sigh~"
"Did you go to the beach to play today?"
"Went, picked some sand worms, picked a few cat-eye snails, this snail is really fun, the meat on the head is a big flower, and it will shrink inward, it becomes small when it shrinks, it slowly reveals the meat on the head after putting it in a small bucket of seawater, just like sand clams."
"I'll take you to the mountain to play tomorrow!"
Lin Guangyuan said uninterestedly: "What's fun on the mountain, we have plenty there, I'm tired of playing, I ran on the mountain since I was a child, I only want to go to the seaside."
"You are already at the seaside."
"Father, Cousin doesn't want to go to the mountain, I'll go with you!" Ye Chenghu heard that he was going to the mountain to play and stopped surrounding the stove, immediately running over pitter-patter.
"I want to go too!" Ye Chengyang also followed.
"Hmm, okay, you all go and let your cousin watch the house!"
"Ah~" Lin Guangyuan wailed, "Forget it, forget it, I'll reluctantly go with you, otherwise they all go to school one by one, and I'm the only one left, not fun, no companions to go to the beach."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him and didn't speak, just waiting for this sentence.
More people more strength, the two little ones can only make up a head count, but work is still short of people, delivered labor must be used to the full!
Otherwise, they can't be used after leaving in a few days!
Ye Mother looked at the firewood pile behind and there wasn't much firewood left. "Just right, there's no firewood at home to burn, cut more firewood tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Hearing this instruction, Lin Guangyuan always felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
When he was dug up early the next morning to go up the mountain, he regretted it.
It rained the night before, and the mountain was muddy everywhere. The mud under his feet was already thicker than his shoe soles, and it was slippery.
Every time he lifted his foot, he felt strenuous, and unlike them, he didn't have rain boots to wear.
"Little Uncle-in-law, is it too late for me to go down the mountain now?"
Ye Yaodong swung the machete in his hand. "What do you think?"
Lin Guangyuan looked at the knife in his hand and swallowed his saliva. "How come I feel like we aren't here to play on the mountain?"
"Originally I wanted to take you to the mountain to play, but aren't you unwilling? Just right, my old mother told me to come and cut trees, so let's cut trees, remember to work hard for me."
"I knew it!"
Was fooled, early knew he shouldn't have followed.
Clearly refusing at the beginning was right!
Sigh, miscalculation!
"Know what, know what, walk faster for me, dawdling like a woman, you are the slowest."
Lin Guangyuan glared at Ye Chenghu who was sitting on Ye Father's shoulder and gloating. He muttered in his heart: The ground was wet this morning, so he didn't bring Ye Chengyang, only he and Ye Chenghu followed, wasn't he the slowest?
He walked while rubbing off the red mud under his feet in the grass on the side, and looked around. Seeing the loquat trees full of yellow loquats on both sides of the mountain, his heart was also itchy and he wanted to pick them.
Even if there were some at home, it didn't affect him picking outside, right? What's more, he hadn't eaten loquats for a year.
He had long forgotten that he had said it wasn't fun on the mountain yesterday.
Seeing many bayberry trees not far away that were turning red, not yet turning black, his mouth already felt sour, and saliva was secreted.
And a few scattered peach trees, the sharp ends were turning red, not picking them felt sorry for himself...
Ye Chenghu also excitedly shouted there, "Loquats are ripe, peaches are also ripe, and red plums, Father... Grandfather... let's go pick them later..."
"Not ours, we didn't plant fruit trees at home."
"Little Uncle-in-law, you planted quite a lot of fruit trees on this mountain, right?"
"It's okay, all are diligent people, each family plants two or three trees, enough for the children at home to eat, unlike your side where people specialize in planting fruit trees."
"My father said rely on the mountain to eat from the mountain, rely on the sea to eat from the sea, we all have mountains, can only plant trees."
Ye Father aimed at a position with many trees and stopped. "Just here, I'll cut tree branches, Dongzi you pick them up, you two don't run around, picking fruit randomly and being caught will result in a beating. I'll take you to pick wild peaches after cutting firewood."
"Okay, okay, I like eating wild peaches."
Lin Guangyuan saw that he didn't seem to need his help, so he wandered around nearby, and by the way, picked up some dead branches. Since he was here, he couldn't really do nothing. Anyway, he was used to working at home.
Just didn't expect that after wandering around, he discovered good things. "Little Uncle-in-law, there are many bamboo shoots here, all just popping out a little tip."
"Where, where?" Ye Chenghu heard the sound and was the first to run over excitedly. "Really have bamboo shoots, hurry and pull, hurry and pull..."
He had already directly used his hands and pulled one down.
Ye Yaodong piled the firewood together, then ran over to take a look. "Yo, not bad, a whole piece, this work is handed to you two, pull them all back, don't let go if you see them."
"Alright, guarantee to complete the task." Lin Guangyuan also happily gave a military salute.
Ye Yaodong touched his pocket, took out a sack, shook it, and handed it to them.
This is his good habit!
He originally thought about taking it to hold wild peaches. Since he was on the mountain, how could he only cut firewood?
Have to get some food to take back, there are so many mouths at home.
"Father, why do you always have sacks in your pocket?"
"Be prepared, hurry and work, pull more back, eat stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat tonight."
"Ah?"
Both of them touched their butts involuntarily, and the passion instantly disappeared.
Lin Guangyuan muttered: "Why say stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat for no reason..."
Ye Chenghu also echoed, "That is..."
"Pull, pull, stir-fried with pickled vegetables is also delicious."
"Then I still like stir-fried with meat."
"Fine, tell Little Aunt tonight, you want to eat stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat."
"Hmph hmph~"
The two mixed and fought while pulling bamboo shoots, not bored.
Ye Yaodong also wanted to pull bamboo shoots, but unfortunately, the proper business wasn't finished. If he sneaked away, it would be his father's turn to treat him to stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.
He stacked the cut tree branches high, and then bundled them up.
Took out a straw rope, spread it on the ground, and continued to put tree branches on top.
The cart couldn't be pushed to the mountain, and he was afraid of being stolen if left at the foot of the mountain, so they didn't push it out, planning to carry the firewood down the mountain, and then go back to push the cart first.
Busy for three hours, only bundled six or seven piles, not enough, but it was almost mealtime, almost time to finish work.
Ye Yaodong clapped his hands, saw his father preparing to cut a small tree back, let him do it slowly, he went to find the two little ones first.
The bamboo shoots in that piece had already been pulled clean by the two little ones, the sack was full, but where did the people run to?
He wandered around nearby, didn't see anyone, only saw a sack of bamboo shoots, could only shout their names loudly.
"Lin Guangyuan! Ye Chenghu!"
"Lin Guangyuan! Ye Chenghu! Where the hell did you die?"
Seeing no one responding to him, he had to walk to the side of the road, shouting while walking.
Don't know if they went up or down, he went down first, try his luck, the voice also shouted louder and louder.
Just at this moment, two little ones suddenly drilled out from under the plum tree next to him, and they also shushed at him...
"Shh~ Father, don't shout, don't attract people."
"Running out without saying a word, how much did you pick?"
"The pocket is too small, I turned my coat inside out, look..."
Ye Yaodong patted his head, picked one up and wiped it on his body, saying while doing so: "Not bad, but don't do it next time, if caught, I have to destroy my relatives for righteousness!"
"I understand, this is called teaching children in front of people, teaching wives on the pillow! Actually, Little Uncle-in-law, you also want to steal, I know!"
Ye Yaodong took a bite of the red plum, the sour and crisp taste made his eyes narrow immediately. After recovering, he flicked Lin Guangyuan's forehead.
"Haven't read many years of books, but know quite a lot."
"Father, take off your clothes to hold them, I'll go pick some more."
"This plum is a bit sour, suggest you go pick loquats over there!"
"Hahaha~"
"Laugh your fart!" Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, these little ones were none of them cute.
"I knew it, Little Uncle-in-law, you are this kind of person!"
"Give me the plums, hurry and work, we have to go back to eat after your grandfather finishes cutting the trees."
"Got it."
That little one poured the plums to Ye Yaodong, immediately ran away, time is tight!
Ye Yaodong held a bag of plums and gnawed while walking back. On this mountain, they might be more familiar than him, couldn't be lost.
Ye Father saw him come back and asked: "Where are the two?"
"Went to pick loquats."
"Loquats after rain don't taste good."
"Better than nothing, for that group of children, everything is delicious, there is nothing that is not delicious."
"Pick less, don't be caught."
"It's fine, just get beaten."
Ye Father glanced at him and didn't say anything. Which child isn't greedy?
Who hasn't been chased?
"Go and bring them back, take them to pick wild peaches, I'll go back after cutting this tree."
"Fine, where is the wild peach tree?"
Ye Father pointed him in a direction casually. "There are two over there, have grown for quite a few years."
"Got it."
