Chapter 356: Full Month

What's the difference?

Ye Yaodong touched his face. Old like his daughter's grandfather? That won't do. Wouldn't that embarrass her in the future?

"Is there anything that can be wiped to be a little whiter? Otherwise, the more tanned, the darker, what if I embarrass my daughter when she grows up?"

"Thinking about seven or eight things, did your father embarrass you?"

"I don't go to school, and everyone's father is the same, relying on their own labor to eat, what's embarrassing? But my daughter is different. She will walk out of the fishing village and go to a big city to study in the future. I can't embarrass her. It doesn't matter if we are poor, it's glorious to be a poor peasant for eight generations, but if people look at me and ask if that's your grandfather, then my daughter won't be embarrassed to death? I can't embarrass her."

Lin Xiuqing was full of black lines listening to him. "She just finished her full month, and you've already thought about her going to university?"

"Isn't this taking precautions? It's been less than a year, and I've been tanned like this. Won't it be finished in another ten or twenty years? No, I have to tinker. Look at how white and handsome my face used to be... Didn't you take a fancy to my face before..."

Ye Yaodong said while searching on the table, only to find that there was only a clam oil in a shell and a box of vanishing cream on the table. He had bought these for her.

"Just these, nothing else?"

"What else do you want?" Lin Xiuqing was speechless, crying and laughing. A big man, afraid of being tanned and old?

"Sigh~"

Women nowadays are really too simple.

"There are gains and losses. I used to be whiter than you, but now only my buttocks are whiter than yours." As he said this, he pulled open his shorts to take a look, completely two colors from his waist.

"I want to take off my pants and block the front. If people don't know, they will think I'm wearing white shorts, and my body is directly divided into three sections, upper, middle, and lower."

"Otherwise, take off your pants and tan evenly?"

"It's not good to swing the big bird around."

"No one sees it at sea."

"What if a boat passes by and sees it? What if they feel inferior?"

Lin Xiuqing: "..."

What is in his brain?

As the weather got hot, the quilt they covered was also thin. Ye Yaodong saw Ye Xiaoxi kick the quilt in her sleep. He wanted to pull the corner of the quilt to cover her, but his eyes accidentally aimed at Lin Xiuqing's chest.

It was swollen with milk and wet in a circle, and the watermark was particularly obvious. He couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple.

Calculating, he seemed to have been holding back for a long time. It was also thanks to the high-intensity labor during this period that he had no time or energy to think about it.

Lin Xiuqing also noticed his gaze, staring at her chest all the time. She looked down and saw that her clothes were wet with milk, and she couldn't help but pull her clothes a bit unnaturally.

To facilitate breastfeeding, she didn't wear a small vest, only a long-sleeved autumn shirt. She didn't expect it to be wet and show through.

"What are you looking at?"

"What are you covering? It's not like I haven't seen it. It's already like a persimmon cake, and you're still covering it..."

Lin Xiuqing widened her eyes when she heard his description, grabbed a pillow from behind, and hit him, saying angrily: "You rotten mouth, what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Get out!"

"Hey, hey, hey~ I said it wrong, I said it wrong~ Shh, shh~ Don't hit, don't hit, don't wake the child."

Lin Xiuqing still glared at him, glaring angrily. "Shut your mouth, go out and sleep, don't sway in front of me, I get angry when I see you."

"I just said it casually. Those shameless old perverts in the village contaminated me."

"You weren't much better to begin with."

"That's not true, I'm a decent person..."

Ye Yaodong saw her chest rising and falling because of anger, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Hey~ Why don't you give me your milk."

"Ah?"

Lin Xiuqing crossed her hands over her chest, glaring at him angrily. "I'm still in confinement, what do you want to do?"

"Where did you think? What about the milk you squeezed out? Give it to me to wash my face and try it."

"Ah?"

Why does it feel a bit perverted?

"I heard that washing your face with milk can whiten and nourish the skin. Your milk should be able to, right?"

"Nervous, it's all taken to water the vegetables. What kind of strange and messy things are in your brain?"

"Isn't this because I don't want to be tanned too dark and too old? Look at my father's face full of wind and frost, wrinkled by wind and sun, like tree bark."

"Aren't all those who are old like this?"

"That's not necessarily true!"

People in the future are getting younger and younger, looking like forty at fifty, especially men, who don't look as old as women.

His father is only fifty-something now, but that face full of wind and frost, with gullies and ravines, looks older than someone in their sixties in the future.

"Wait until you are old to talk about it. Worrying blindly, won't you be white after not going to sea for a period of time?"

"That won't be as white as before, it's already sunburnt. Forget it, forget it... I'll wear a hat and mask, it should be a little better. I'll cut two holes in the mask where the nostrils are tomorrow, otherwise, I always feel that breathing is not smooth..."

Lin Xiuqing didn't bother to pay attention to him as she listened to him muttering. She looked at the child, who felt a bit woken up by their talking and was twisting around. She reached out and patted her chest to soothe her, and she instantly fell asleep obediently, not moving around anymore.

"Aren't you going back to the room to sleep?"

"Collected money, and now you're driving me away? I took a nap in the afternoon, I'm not sleepy now."

"Then go out and listen to the radio for a while, to avoid disturbing your daughter's sleep here."

"Alright."

Ye Yaodong looked at his daughter's pink face, looked at it a few more times, touched it twice, and then went out.

Early the next morning, the sky was still gray, and the room was already busy. Ye Yaodong also got up early to ride his bicycle to town to buy vegetables.

Although they didn't hold a full-month banquet, they still had to arrange two tables decently. One table for his own family, and one table for Aqing's family.

Children don't count as heads, they eat two bites and get off the table to play. Her family won't all come, saying that only the brother and sister-in-law and Lin Guangyuan will come, other children are going to school, and the sisters are far away and have no time. Anyway, it's the third one.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu brought tiger-head clothes, tiger-head shoes, and tiger-head hats prepared for the child early in the morning, and also gave gold and silver necklaces and gold and silver bracelets.

In addition, taking advantage of the fact that it didn't rain yesterday morning, they also picked a large basket of bayberries, soaked a jar of bayberry wine, and sent it over together today.

Originally, they didn't prepare to hit gold, only silver necklaces and bracelets, after all, it was the third one, and a girl.

But after staying at the Ye family for a few days, Lin Fu and Lin Mu also saw that the Ye family didn't value boys over girls. On the contrary, the son-in-law was very fond of his granddaughter, and they also earned a sum of money, so the two old people discussed and simply hit the gold necklace and bracelet.

They didn't prepare the cradle and the standing cage because they had sent them before, and the bamboo ones wouldn't break, so they could be taken out and washed to continue using.

Ye Mu saw that the in-laws even hit gold, and her mouth couldn't close with a smile. "In-laws, why are you so polite? Aqing is already the third one, and still a little girl, why are you so well-prepared? Preparing tiger-head clothes, shoes, and socks is enough. Look, this is so expensive, it's silver and gold..."

Lin Xiuqing also said with heartache: "Yes, hitting one for the eldest is enough. The second one didn't hit, why hit gold for the third one? How much money is this? You have owed a lot of money for opening mountains, planting trees, and planting tea in the past few years..."

"Don't talk about irrelevant things. I hit it for my granddaughter, not for you." Lin Mu was also dressed joyfully today, saying with a smile.

"Too expensive. You have no money, why hit gold? We didn't hold a banquet..."

"This is as it should be. Why is it expensive? I'm also a grandmother again. What does it have to do with whether you hold a banquet or not?"

Lin Fu also said: "This is for the child, not for you. After washing, put it on her, it's festive. This child grows better than her brothers, and is lovable. Being able to be born is also her blessing."

Ye Fu said with a smile: "Since it's already hit, then forget it, don't talk about it. This is also the intention of the grandfather and grandmother."

"Right, right, right~ You sit down and rest for a while, I'll go cook snacks for you. I just burned mugwort soup and it's cooling. After Aqing finishes washing, I'll fix it for the child. You sit down and talk first."

"No need to be busy... we have eaten breakfast..."

"Breakfast is breakfast, snacks are snacks... different. You wait, I'll go cook. Just after burning the mugwort, I'll pour out all the soup in the pot and cook snacks." Ye Mu said while walking out, and silently counted the heads.

This snack needs to be cooked with a pair of eggs and a few longans for each person. Fortunately, they picked up a lot of bird eggs some time ago, saving a lot of chicken eggs.

Usually, when guests come to the house to cook snacks, it's longevity noodles plus poached eggs. This wedding full-month snack is stewed double eggs. When guests come, eat snacks first, and only eat the main meal at noon.

When Ye Yaodong came back from buying vegetables, he saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Aqing's brother and sister-in-law eating snacks, and he greeted them with a smile.

"Why did you come so early? There seems to be no car so early? It rained yesterday, and the road is not easy to walk."

"No, no, we all specifically wore rain boots, not afraid of splashing everywhere, it's very easy to walk. Come over early, and we can send the tiger-head clothes, shoes, and socks to the child early."

He nodded casually, but his peripheral vision suddenly saw a large basket of black, shiny bayberries in the corner of the main room, and his saliva secreted.

He casually took two and threw them into his mouth, and his eyes instantly lit up. They were not sour at all, very sweet.

"These bayberries are very sweet. They should have been picked yesterday morning, right? Those picked in the rain yesterday are not this sweet."

"Yes, fortunately, I went up the mountain yesterday morning to pick some that were already black, otherwise, if it rained yesterday, they would have fallen."

"Picked very timely." He looked at his mother again. "Has the child finished washing?"

"Not yet. Aqing is taking a bath. You go and call the barber in the village to come over and give the child a full-month haircut. After Aqing finishes washing, it's just right to give the child a bath, wash from head to toe."

"Good, I'll go call him."

Ye Yaodong stepped on the bicycle standing at the door again. Riding a bike is faster, and he doesn't want to step on the muddy rural dirt road after the rain.

The road was muddy everywhere. Other people cherish their bicycles and are reluctant to ride them out. Some people's bicycles have been ridden for two or three years, and they are still wiped clean and shiny, like new, and cherished well, but he doesn't care at all.

After going to town to buy vegetables, the bicycle looked like it was fished out of the mud, with yellow muddy spots splashing everywhere. He didn't think about wiping it at all and rode it out again.

Seeing him riding the bicycle past, splashing a piece of muddy water, the people in the village felt distressed and kept nagging that he didn't know how to cherish and protect the car. If they had a car, they would definitely... ===== CHAPTER 357 =====
