Chapter 321: Wild Peaches
After Ye Yaodong handed the two small boats to them like offering a treasure, telling them they could float on the water to play, they stopped working.
Ran away all at once!
Ye Mother gave him a white look. "Tossing about, people ran away, you come to peel."
"Not much left, I'll peel if I peel."
"20-something years old, still haven't grown up, still taking them to mess around..."
Ye Mother nagged a sentence, then went into the room to get a knife and cutting board, wanting to cut these bamboo shoots, then sprinkle a little salt and put them in the pot to boil.
After boiling, take them out and put them in a basket, press them with heavy objects, remove the moisture in the bamboo shoots, and then take them to dry.
There is no refrigerator in this era, they can only dry bamboo shoots to preserve them, otherwise after boiling, pack them one by one and put them in the refrigerator to freeze, take them out to thaw and stir-fry whenever you want to eat, which is better.
"Dig more when going up the mountain later, this won't go bad if dried."
"Got it, will send Ah Yuan and Chenghu to find them."
After peeling these bamboo shoots, Ye Yaodong handed the tree branches to his old mother to bundle, and then called Lin Guangyuan and Ye Chenghu to go up the mountain. They were his good helpers!
It's just that Ye Chengyang was abandoned again, crying heart-rendingly at home, fortunately there were loquats and plums, hadn't wailed twice before being blocked.
In the afternoon, Ye Yaodong cut the tree branches almost enough, then handed them to his old father, really couldn't stand the urging of the two little ones, could only take them to pick wild peaches first.
The two children went up the mountain, and after getting instructions, they looked for bamboo shoots everywhere. After filling the two sacks, the idle them thought about picking fruit again.
As a result, they didn't walk to the front before finding someone watching. After wandering around for a while, they could only return without success and go to torment him.
Ye Yaodong couldn't bear it anymore. "Almost done, what's the rush? Let's go..."
"Third Uncle~ Third Uncle~ where are you?"
"Eh?"
"It's Ah Hai and the others!"
Lin Guangyuan and Ye Chenghu were instantly surprised, running toward the main road, and responding loudly.
Not long after, the team of one dragging two directly expanded.
Ye Yaodong looked at the string of children behind him. "Going up the mountain as soon as school is over, you are really active, how did you know I was on this mountain? Why not go to your father's place?"
"No, not fun following my father."
"Ah Yuan said you were on this mountain at noon."
"Third Uncle, you aren't going back yet, right?"
Ye Chenghu said happily: "We are just preparing to go pick wild peaches, you came just in time."
"Go go go~ hurry, otherwise have to go back to eat in a while."
Two sheep are grazing, a group of sheep is also grazing, Ye Yaodong didn't care.
"Walk faster, keep up with the main force!"
People watching fruit trees on the mountain kept staring at them vigilantly, from the range of vision to walking out of the range of vision, never left.
"Hmph hmph... come to patronize next time!"
"Fruit is almost harvested recently, people are watching on the mountain every day, don't think about it."
Ye Yaodong took them to the two wild peach trees pointed out by Ye Father. Before he gave orders, the children behind him were already howling and climbing the trees.
He had to spread the sack under the tree to catch them. "Be careful, don't break the tree branches, have to come again next year."
"Third Uncle, I thought you would tell us to be careful, don't fall."
"Falling isn't better? Hands broken, feet lame, don't have to go to school."
"Hahaha~ makes sense!" Lin Guangyuan laughed loudly. "Ye Chenghai, do you want to try? If successful, you can play at home for many days."
"Roll!"
Wild peaches were all hard, one by one thrown into the sack like throwing balls, occasionally hitting Ye Yaodong.

"Ye Chenghai, I have reason to suspect you are using public office for private revenge, hitting my chest is understandable, hitting my forehead is too much!"
"Ah hahaha, sorry, Third Uncle, I didn't mean it!"
"Whoever hits me again, whoever comes down to hold the sack, change me to come, see if I don't hit you full of bags."
"Third Uncle, I really didn't mean it, you have to believe me."
Ye Yaodong looked at him threateningly.
The accuracy was much better next.
Because it was ownerless, everyone picked very happily, played to their heart's content, didn't have to be ready to run at any time.
"Don't pick them all, pick the red-bottomed ones, come again in a few days for the rest, otherwise can't finish eating, it will go bad."
"Come more..."
They hadn't played enough yet.
"That's about it, time to go back."
Under his repeated urging, one by one reluctantly came down from the tree. Not only the boys were naughty, the three girls in the family were also very naughty, all climbed the trees, and still had unfinished business.
Ye Yaodong shook the sack, feeling it was more than 20 jin. "Picked so many, can you finish eating?"
"We can take them to school to eat!"
"Be careful of diarrhea from eating too much!"
"Bring newspaper~"
"Your family has newspaper?"
"You have!" Ye Chenghai said as a matter of course.
"No!"
"Then I'll use leaves."
Ye Yaodong smiled wickedly. "Wiping leaves all over the butt, dirtier the more you wipe."
"None of your business~ I can also use bamboo chips to scrape! Use straw!"
"Don't care about you, using your fingers has nothing to do with me. Walk faster, dawdling, didn't walk a few steps, talked a basket..."
"Going back so soon..."
Just went up the mountain to play for a while and had to go down again, one by one reluctant to leave, pulling flowers and grass on the side of the road while walking, Ye Yaodong urged like driving ducks.
After returning home, he found that his eldest brother and second brother had also become smart in the afternoon, not only bringing back several bundles of tree branches, but also two sacks of bamboo shoots.
"Ah! Father, you also pulled bamboo shoots?"
Ye Eldest Sister-in-law casually hit his calf with the bamboo shoot in her hand, and the bamboo shoot in her hand broke into two pieces directly.
"Your father said he didn't see you on the mountain, I thought you were carried away by wolves."
"Hehe, we went to find Third Uncle! We picked a lot of wild peaches!"
"You might as well be your Third Uncle's son."
"That won't do!" Ye Yaodong and Ye Chenghai refused in unison.
"Third Uncle pits me all day!"
"You are too stupid, dislike you!"
Ye Chenghai rolled his eyes, saw Ye Mother taking a basin to dump wild peaches, he also hurriedly went back to the room to get a basin.
Dumped a basin for each family, all shared a bit, Ye Mother took the rest to wash, wiped clean and sprinkled a little salt before serving.
Pure natural wild peaches, no pesticides, no GMOs, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, nourished by heaven and earth, rich in nutrition, women eat it to look beautiful, men eat it to be strong and mighty.
Although the taste is slightly sour and astringent, there is salt on the surface to neutralize it, and you can feel the sweetness after chewing a few more times, especially when you bite into it, the heart inside is red, and the peach pit doesn't stick to the peach meat.
After eating, the peach pit is clean, not sticking to any meat, looking at people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the heart is especially comfortable!
The fruit meat near the peach pit is even sweeter.
"Delicious!"
"Just too small."
"Wild peaches are small to begin with."
There are many people in the family, each grabbing a few, and it hit the bottom not long after.
Lin Xiuqing also knew in the room that they were eating wild peaches, unfortunately she couldn't eat them.
Ye Yaodong carried a soup basin of fruit into the room, with wild peaches, loquats, plums, and placed them in front of her.
"Want to eat what?"
"I can't eat!"
"It's fine, I'll eat for you to see, by the way tell you what it tastes like."
Lin Xiuqing looked at him speechlessly. "Go out and eat."
"Just ate a lot of peaches, plums are also a bit sour, then start with loquats? Loquats are quite sweet, it's a pity that when you finish confinement, loquats will almost be out of season, the loquats then won't taste good..." He peeled them to himself.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him with a forced smile, kicked him. "Roll, knowing I can't eat, still deliberately brought it in front of me to eat."
Ye Yaodong grinned, smiled and brought the peeled loquat to her nose, let her smell it. "Can't eat, smelling the smell is also good, look, orange, skin peels to the bottom, definitely sweet!"
"Fart, rained yesterday, definitely not sweet!"
"That's not necessarily!"
She changed the subject: "Are your tree branches bundled? Still have time to eat here."
"Collected in the morning, Mother bundled almost all, wait until finish eating to work."
"Fortunately it rained
"The sky is going to rain, and a mother is going to remarry; I don't know if it will rain tonight, but it's fine as long as everything is settled before sleep. Let's see how the squid harvest is over the next few days; if there's a lot, we'll keep some to dry. It's better for you to eat some dried squid while you're in confinement, and you'll have to get a tubal ligation after you finish, so you need to build up your strength."
"No need, just take it all to sell for money. I eat and drink well every day—it's either fish or shrimp, or pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, pig liver, or pig kidneys; that's enough. Don't keep the sea cucumber either; it makes my heart ache to eat it, and the old lady hasn't even had a bite."
"Alright then."
Ye Yaodong ate a loquat and didn't move again; it was enough to tease her for a while. He set the fruit aside and started kissing his daughter again.
She smelled like milk and was all chubby.
But Ye Xiaoxi wasn't really cooperating; she frowned and turned to the other side.
"She just fell asleep, don't bother her. You haven't shaved your beard clean; it will prick her."
He touched his chin; it did seem a bit prickly.
"Fine, then I'll go do some work. The sooner I finish, the sooner I can sleep."
"Take that bowl of fruit away."
"It's fine, it's quite nice to leave it there and smell the fruit fragrance; the room is full of the smell of milk."
Speaking of which, he mischievously reached out a hand, "Is your milk engorged today? Do you need me to help you? Otherwise, since my mother is here tonight, I won't be able to help you."
Lin Xiuqing slapped his hand away and said crossly, "Your daughter just finished nursing and fell asleep; it's not engorged."
"But I feel like they're still quite big!"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him and ignored him.
"What a pity. If you need me, call me; I'm at your beck and call."
"Hurry up and go to work."
"Alright."
Ye Yaodong kissed her face and also kissed Ye Xiaoxi's forehead before heading out.
