Chapter 341: Coaxing the Baby

Good thing he didn't eat...

At that time, seeing that there were still wild peaches left on the table, he originally picked one up casually wanting to eat it, but hearing the child's crying in the room, he put it down again and ran into the room happily to hold the child.

"If you do this disgusting thing again, in case it gets into my mouth, I'll peel your skin off."

"Third Uncle, you wouldn't if you weren't greedy."

Ye Yaodong pointed at the dishes on the table with his chopsticks with annoyance, "Sweep all the leftovers on the table for me later. If you dare to waste it, I'll break your legs."

Ye Chengjiang picked up a chopstick of vegetables, wanting to put it into Ye Yaodong's bowl flatteringly, but was dodged by him holding the bowl with quick eyes and hands.

"Eat, Third Uncle, don't be polite, just treat it like your own home..."

Ye Yaodong gave him a chestnut, and the vegetables he was holding fell all over the table, "Skin itchy? This is my home, you are eating at my home. Give me all of it and sweep it up. If you can't eat it, I'll use chopsticks to poke it into you."

Ye Chengjiang touched his somewhat painful head and glanced at him resentfully.

"What are you looking at? Give me all the dishes on the table and eat them up."

Ye Chenghai gloated. It was finally his turn. Usually, he was the one charging into battle and getting beaten first.

"You guys are so noisy, even eating a meal has to be noisy. Be quiet, don't disturb us listening to the opera."

"Not scolding anymore? Not saying I spend money recklessly?"

Ye Mu gave him a look, letting him experience it for himself.

"Does it sound good? Can't move your butt, huh? Not cleaning the fish in the bucket?"

Ye Mu rolled her eyes at him, dawdled, took the fish to the back door, killed them at the fastest speed, and started a fire to cook them.

The weather was getting hot now. If they weren't killed and cooked immediately, they would stink by tomorrow. As long as they weren't stirred or poked with chopsticks after being cooked, they wouldn't spoil by the next day.

When it was time to eat, just put them in the pot and heat them up.

"The sound of frying fish is too loud, what did they just say?"

"Don't be noisy, don't be noisy..." Ye Fu sat there without even turning his head.

Ye Mu was depressed, holding a spatula in one hand and akimbo in the other, staring blankly. She wanted to go over and listen, but was afraid of burning the fish.

"Stop listening, you've been listening for a long time. Hurry up and turn it off to let it rest, don't burn it out."

"You woman, cook your fish, don't get in the way. How long have you been listening? You've been listening all day, let us who came back from work listen for a bit too."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Only Ye Mu felt heartbroken, fearing it would be broken.

"It wasn't bought by you, of course you don't feel heartbroken. This has to be passed down for generations. If you let it play for so long, it will burn out sooner or later."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but feel ashamed. Did his mother intend to pass it down for several generations?

Suddenly, a picture from decades later appeared in his mind: his great-grandchildren knocking on this radio, saying it was passed down from his ancestors.

The old lady also felt heartbroken, fearing that if she listened for too long, it would break. Just as a small segment ended, she hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, can't listen anymore, must put it away, listen again tomorrow. This was newly bought by Dongzi, don't break it for him."

"Ah~ but we all have to go to school tomorrow~ can't listen."

"Yeah, yeah, listen for a while longer."

"Have to go to school tomorrow, can't listen. Let us listen for a while longer tonight."

"Right, listen for a while longer, listen for a while longer..." A group of half-grown children were shouting there.

Ye Mu had a headache, hands akimbo, pointing at these children with the spatula, "Know you have to go to school tomorrow, have you done your homework these two days? You've been surrounding the opera box all day today and couldn't be driven away. Can't I control you anymore? If you can't get up tomorrow, I'll take the whip."

"And you few who went out to sea, aren't you tired? After eating, hurry up and take a bath, go back to the room, lie down and sleep. Have to get up to go out to sea at night."

The old lady also echoed, "Right, right, right, you hurry up and go to sleep. Listen when you're free, put it away first."

Ye Yaodong didn't care. It was just a radio. In a few years, televisions would be popularized.

He stood up first to take a bath, and others also stood up reluctantly, each going home.

Since his two sisters-in-law also started going out to sea, Ye Mu cooked their meals along the way, and everyone returned to eating at one table.

Of course, the rice must have been brought from their respective homes, the seafood was what they left behind themselves at night, and the vegetables were picked from the vegetable plot. None of these needed money. In this season, all kinds of vegetables were available.

After taking a bath, Ye Yaodong went into the room to see his wife and child.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing saw him, she complained, "I was almost scolded to death by Mother last night. Good thing the daughter cried, it saved the scene."

"Why didn't you refute it? It didn't spend her money, bought it back and told her not to listen."

"That's your biological mother, not mine. Can I speak like that?"

"Are you bored during confinement? Do you want me to buy one for you too?"

Lin Xiuqing widened her eyes in disbelief, "Did you pick up money? I'll finish confinement in two days, buy what? Other people hesitate to buy one, yet you want to buy two, don't want to be scolded to death by your mother."

"I spend my money, what does it have to do with her?"

"She nagged all morning today, and only stopped nagging after she was fascinated by listening later. If you buy another one, see if she feels heartbroken."

"It's not spending hers, don't worry about her, let her nag for two days, it'll be fine. Just right, you're at home taking care of the child, buy another one for you to pass the time."

Lin Xiuqing shook her head like a rattle, "No, you are not allowed to spend money recklessly, otherwise I'm not finished with you."

Buying one was enough to make her feel heartbroken, she couldn't bear to buy another one.

Seeing her righteous refusal, Ye Yaodong had no choice but to give up for the time being. Maybe after a few days when she was fascinated by listening, she would miss wanting to buy one back to pass the time herself.

"What time did Lin Ji deliver it yesterday?"

"Eight or nine o'clock, it seems. Just when Mother was cooking a late-night snack for me, he knocked on the door. Mother said she didn't want it, told him to take it back. I took the money to the room door, and Mother then gave the money with a heartbroken and unwilling face. I heard her nag all night last night."

"Oh, what time did your parents leave this morning? They came for the child's full month, right?"

"After breakfast, left after seven o'clock. Said they'd come for the full month. Left half of the shellfish they dug, and only took a few seabird eggs back, left the rest, saying it was for me to eat during confinement."

"They have heart. In a few days for the full month, leave some goods back, cook a table more sumptuously, just mean it, just eat it as our own family."

Lin Xiuqing nodded with a smile.

At this time, Ye Yaodong saw the child twisting and turning unsteadily in her sleep. Originally thinking of patting her chest to let her continue sleeping, he didn't expect her to open her silly eyes, looking left and right without any focus.

He said pleasantly surprised, "Woke up? So rare, let me hold her."

"Don't, don't hold her randomly. Let her lie down if she's fine, otherwise if she gets used to being held, I won't have time to hold her every day in the future."

"Not allowed to hold when sleeping, not allowed to hold when awake, and have rations to block the mouth when crying, then when can I hold her?"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, "Didn't see you being so active when your two sons were born."

"That's different. Those two howled every night as soon as they were born, I never slept a good sleep, no wonder I would want to hold them."

Seeing her eyes looking at him while he was talking, Ye Yaodong felt itchy and reached out.

"Let me hold her for a while, just for a while, haven't held her for many days, I'm going to sleep again later."

Light, soft, and milky all over, he couldn't help but kiss her, but saw the child turn her head away, her mouth pouting.

He hurriedly coaxed her with oh oh oh~

"Your beard pricked her."

"Haven't shaved for two or three days, going out early and returning late every day, didn't think about shaving."

"How was the harvest today?"

"Not bad, sold for more than 200, just a bit expensive on oil, oil money went for six or seven yuan, the hand-thrown net is also broken, good thing A Zheng and the others have spares, I'll use them first, and ask someone to weave one to return to him in a few days."

"You're busy after this period, then rest for a few days."

Ye Yaodong walked around holding the child, saying, "After this period, it's the rainy season again, have to rest even if I don't want to."

"Rest well when you rest then, going every day, the body can't hold on."

"Hmm."

"Put the child down, don't walk around and rock her."

"What are you afraid of, if she gets used to it, just let me hold her."

"You can't hold and rock her every day at home."

"It's fine, call the carpenter in the village to make a wooden cradle later, let her lie in the cradle when I'm not there."

"Asking for a scolding, right?" She pulled his sleeve, not letting him walk anymore, and took the child by the way, letting her lie down, "Don't be so loose with your hands, don't spend money recklessly, it was hard to save a little family foundation, must save it."

"Saving it is useless, money will become less and less valuable."

"Nonsense, how important money is, how can it become less valuable?"

He couldn't think of how to explain it? Simply didn't say it, yawned, and went back to the room to sleep directly. ===== CHAPTER 342 =====
