Chapter 357: Milky Fragrance
Children need to have their hair shaved at full month, collecting the fetal hair to make brushes. Some people who are not particular don't want it either.
Ye Xiaoxi was originally sleeping soundly, but she was tossed back and forth when her hair was being shaved, and there was constant noise around her, which ended up waking her up.
She looked left and right with a confused face, then her mouth flattened, and she cried. Everyone laughed even more happily when they heard the crying sound of "ying ying ying".
Ye Yaodong also laughed and coaxed her, saying it would be fine in a while.
After shaving her hair, Ye Mu also used a red egg to roll back and forth on her head three times, and muttered a few auspicious words. This has the meaning of a red top, symbolizing future success and promotion.
Although they didn't hold a banquet, the sense of ritual that should be there couldn't be less.
"Oh~ Alright, alright, don't cry, go take a bath."
After the sense of ritual was completed, Ye Mu held the child to take a bath.
At noon, the two tables of food were prepared with the help of Ye's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Ye Huimei also came over to help. She was more than four months pregnant, and the month was not big, so it didn't affect her work.
The few of them were busy preparing two tables of dishes, which was more than enough. Seafood and fish basically only needed to be steamed or blanched, and only some meat dishes needed to be cooked, which was very simple.
After a simple lunch, Lin Fu and Lin Mu held the child for a while, and the whole family prepared to leave.
When Ye Yaodong received 500 yuan yesterday, he had already settled the recent earnings of his two brothers-in-law first, so that they could leave today without worries.
To avoid A Cai settling slowly, and then having to send it to them, anyway, he didn't need to pay for it himself. Distribute it to them first, and he would take their cargo list to settle accounts when the time came.
They also earned over 200 in these few days, which was not bad. Plus the two days Lin Fu and Lin Mu earned a few days ago, their whole family also earned nearly 300 yuan during this period, which could be worth half a year's income for an ordinary family.
Even Lin's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were happy and each prepared two sets of small clothes for Ye Xiaoxi as a thank you.
Lin Guangyuan said goodbye to the group of children in the Ye family reluctantly. "When are you going to my house to play? I'll take you up the mountain to pick fruits. You don't have to steal and pick other people's. My house has a lot, I went to pick bayberries yesterday, a lot of bayberries, very delicious..."
"We have to go to school, otherwise we would go back with you to pick bayberries."
"You can ask for leave for two days, and then come back to class after picking bayberries..."
Ye Yaodong patted Lin Guangyuan on the back of the head. "Trying to trick them into being free labor, right? Picking bayberries is not fun. There are a lot of small mosquitoes around bayberry trees. I guarantee you'll be covered in bags after going up the mountain to pick them once."
"Oh, wear a hat and long sleeves and you won't."
"A-Yuan, hurry up, let's go. Take advantage of the fact that there is no rain now and hurry back, otherwise, you will become a drowned chicken if it rains later." Lin's eldest sister-in-law saw that he was still dawdling and hurriedly shouted.
He looked at his mother and then turned back. "I'm leaving, I can only come back to find you to play next time."
Finally, under everyone's urging, he left, looking back at every step.
Ye Chenghai and Ye Chenghu didn't feel reluctant. After Lin Guangyuan left, they happily went into the room to eat bayberries and play marbles.
The ground outside was wet, which was not convenient for playing. If they went out, they would step on mud, and their trouser legs would splash. Most of the time, their shoes were in place, but their feet had already stepped out.
Going out on such a day, they would be beaten when they came back. Playing in the room was safer.
Ye Yaodong waited until everyone was far away before taking the basket of bayberries to distribute. Each family got a little. Ye Huimei was pregnant and liked to eat bayberries, so he gave her more.
He also brought the jar of bayberry wine back to his father. His own house still had starfish wine and sea snake wine, but his father's was almost at the bottom. He was an old alcoholic.
After distributing, there was some left, so he took it to soak bayberry wine. It was a pity to use these big and black ones to soak wine. If they were sold, they could be sold for a good price.
He casually took two and stuffed them into his mouth, then poured out the remaining bayberries in the basket.
"Dad, I saw white little bugs."
"Where? Normal, bayberries have bugs. Soak them in salt water later, and they will all come out." Ye Yaodong said indifferently.
"In your mouth."
"Ah?" Ye Yaodong's mouth stopped for a moment. After the half-bitten bayberry rolled twice in his mouth, he chewed it a few times indifferently, and then swallowed the seeds too.
"It doesn't matter, bayberry bugs can be eaten, they are all protein."
Since he had already eaten them and they were in his mouth, what else could he do? Swallow them! Anyway, he had already eaten a lot from morning until now. It's not clean, but eating it won't make you sick. Anyway, he didn't see it.
"Next time you see such a thing, don't say it out, you know?"
Ye Chenghu looked at his father with disgust.
"Go and get me the salt."
"Oh."
"They all went to play marbles, why didn't you go?"
"I lost everything, no money to buy."
Hearing this, Ye Yaodong wiped his wet, red hands and took out two one-cent coins from his pocket and gave them to him.
"Go buy it. See who has more, ask him to buy. A-Hai sells seven for one cent, right? You ask him for eight, otherwise, you ask someone else to buy."
"Good!" Ye Chenghu ran away excitedly with the money.
Lin Xiuqing also came out after breastfeeding. "So many bayberries, they will go bad if they are washed and can't be finished."
"Leave a small basin to eat later, and use the others to soak wine, otherwise, they will attract mosquitoes if they are left, and they have been left for a night."
"Mm."
Lin Xiuqing watched him busy for a while, and then rode his bike to buy wine.
After Ye Mu finished tidying up the table and bowls, she moved her things back to the old house. She had finished her confinement, so she didn't need her to serve.
When Ye Yaodong bought wine, he also called a few friends by the way, asking them to come to his house to drink in the evening. A lot of dishes were left at noon. Now that the weather is hot, overnight dishes are easy to spoil.
Everyone drinks and chats together, and the dishes will be eliminated. And they haven't gathered together for a while.
During this period, everyone was busy with their own work. Since they had the motivation to improve, they had less time to gather together. It just happened that they were free today, so he called them all to drink two cups and chat.
Everyone didn't dislike the leftovers. They were all their own people, and in this era, everyone was not so particular. It was not bad to have something to eat and drink.
"Dongzi, I see your life is getting more and more prosperous, more and more flavorful." Fatty took a crab and peeled it, saying.
Xiao Xiao also echoed, "Right, with sons and daughters, a house, a boat, and three turns and one sound (bicycle, sewing machine, watch, radio). It hasn't been long, it's incredible."
"Three turns and one sound is only a few hundred yuan. Everyone can afford to buy it, it just depends on whether you are willing to?" He looked at Xiao Xiao again. "Hurry up and let your wife get pregnant, maybe you will have a son."
"Can't, the family foundation is thin and can't afford the fine. The first child is a daughter, and the second child can only be born after five years. I have to wait a few more years, just take advantage of these few years to save some money. The money I owe you still has to wait a few days for A Cai to settle it before I can pay it back."
"I told you not to rush, why do you keep hanging it on your lips? Drink, drink..."
"We have been drifting at sea recently, busy earning money, and everyone is tanned like black charcoal. Fatty, what are you doing? Why do I find you fat again? You can go to the market." A-Guang looked at the white and fat Fatty sitting opposite him and asked.
His white and fat appearance formed a sharp contrast with their black and thin appearance. One look and you knew how beautiful and moist his life was.
He was so envious that he wanted to be a cook. This was much cooler than going to sea. That fat, pigs couldn't even raise it.
Fatty ate and said: "I went to work to learn from a master."
"What kind of work?"
"At Hongsheng. When I was a temporary worker before, I got familiar with the face, and the relationship with the cook inside was also good. They were short of people a while ago, so they called me. I've been working there recently."
"How much a month?"
"Forty or fifty. Money is not important, the main thing is that the food is good, haha, all dishes are tasted by us first. Look at my stomach, I've grown fat again."
Fatty turned sideways while talking, pulled up his clothes, and patted his stomach. The meat on it shook three times.
That fat, don't know how many good things he ate.
"You're good, mix well, and open one yourself to be the boss in the future."
"Oh, think too much. I don't have this ability. It's enough to mix a meal. You work hard, I'll wait for you to take care of me."
"You dead fatty, just thinking about being lazy..."
"Come, come, drink, drink. Dongzi, it's your daughter's full month today, don't you have to hit a pass first?"
"Good, good, good, hit a pass, hit a pass..."
"Any dice? Play some dice, haven't played for a long time."
Ye Yaodong got up to find some dice, five for each person. "Five ones, leopard counts as six, straight is zero. The loser drinks half a cup of rice wine, don't renege."
"Cut, who reneges~"
"You fuck, you owed four cups last time, I still remember, hurry up and pay back first..."
A group of people shouted, playing more and more vigorously, drinking more and more happily. Don't know how many jin of rice wine were drunk. These were left over from the confinement wine, very easy to drink.
Until one by one they couldn't see the dice numbers clearly and couldn't call out the numbers, Ye Yaodong called his eldest brother and second brother to help send them back.
Ye Yaodong himself also staggered back to the room.
Today, he finally didn't have to sleep on the floor. That room was given to the two sons, and he returned to the big bed to sleep.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong milky fragrance.
Lin Xiuqing got up to help him, but was hugged by him.
"Wife, I'm so happy today, so happy~"
"I know, if you drink too much, just lie at the foot of the bed and sleep." Lin Xiuqing said impatiently, smelling the alcohol on him.
"Daughter was born safely, nothing happened~"
"We have sons and daughters now, a house, a boat, and three turns and one sound, everything is complete~"
"No, the radio was given to the old woman, it doesn't count as ours. Shall we buy another one?"
"Right, have to buy another one to be complete~ Buy it tomorrow~ Buy it tomorrow~"
Ye Yaodong hugged her and shouted endlessly, and kissed her several times.
Lin Xiuqing covered his stinky mouth. "Buy your head, buy it. Once you drink, you'll be rambling endlessly. Don't touch it randomly..."
"Wife, you are so fragrant~ Mm~ Milky fragrance~ Soft~" ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
