Chapter 430: Luxurious instant noodles

~12 min read 2,280 words

After being reprimanded, the three children were extremely honest and quiet when eating.

Even after eating, they took the initiative to put the bowls and chopsticks into the basin. If it were usual, they would throw the bowls and chopsticks and run off somewhere.

Now they were reluctant to leave, lingering in the room, back and forth. Even a blind person would know what they wanted to do?

The couple pretended not to see anything, and the old lady didn't say anything either. She never intervened in the couple's teaching of the children, and would only hug and comfort them afterward, unless the person being taught was Ye Yaodong, then it would be different.

She smiled and watched the three cousins aiming their eyes at the cabinet, and happily said, "You go to the next room and see if A-Hai and the others are being punished to stand, and have no food to eat?"

The three of them were curious and ran out.

Ye Chengyang, with his short legs, hadn't even run out of the courtyard when the others had already run a round trip. He could only turn back and walk into the house.

"They are standing against the corner of the wall."

Ye Yaodong glanced at them, "Then you still have food to eat, shouldn't you be content?"

"Uh..."

Lin Guangyuan pulled the two of them, "Let's go, let's go out and play."

The couple still loved their children. When it was time to sleep at night, they had just finished bathing and returned to the room. Ye Yaodong drove Ye Chengyang to the next room, not allowing him to sleep with them, and then asked A-Qing to make malted milk powder for them.

It was bought for them to drink anyway, so there was no need to hide it.

The three of them had just lain down to sleep when they heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and then a rich milky fragrance permeated the whole room, and the light in the room also turned on.

One by one, they were instantly startled, sat up quickly, turned their heads excitedly to look at the door, and said in unison, "Malted milk powder..."

Lin Xiuqing walked toward them with a bowl, "A-Yuan's is on the table, go get it yourself."

"I have it too!" Lin Guangyuan ran out excitedly to get it himself.

How could she be biased?

The rich milky fragrance rushed to the tip of their noses. They blew gently and drank it in small sips, their expressions extremely satisfied.

Lin Xiuqing let them drink it themselves, told them to take the bowl to the table after drinking, and then returned to the room.

"I made an extra bowl, you take it to the old lady."

Ye Yaodong lay with his hands behind his head, not wanting to move at all, "You just take it in."

"I'm afraid the old lady will be reluctant to drink it and I won't be able to persuade her. You have to do this."

Ye Yaodong thought it was true. The old lady had long been used to saving good food and drink for them.

"Alright."

He got up and took the malted milk powder to the old lady outside. Passing by the children's room, he saw them licking the bowls, not a drop left, clean and dry.

He sighed in his heart again, they were still eating too little.

Thinking that the old lady was also old, if there were conditions, he would buy it for them to drink for a long time to supplement extra nutrition.

The old lady hadn't slept yet at this time, and had just returned to the room after cooling off. She was still chanting scriptures.

Her room was filled with the thick scent of mosquito coils, without any decaying smell of old people. It was quite rare. Generally, when old people get old, they have a decaying old smell, which is not very pleasant and makes people want to stay away.

Ye Yaodong took the malted milk powder and dispersed some of the mosquito coil scent in her room, and said happily, "Stop chanting scriptures, drink this and go to sleep early."

The old lady looked at him reproachfully, "It's enough for the little ones to drink, why did you make it for me and bring it over?"

"A-Qing made it for you. She was afraid you would be reluctant to drink it, so she asked me to bring it over. It's filial piety from your granddaughter-in-law, you can't not drink it, right?"

The old lady was so happy that her gums were exposed, "It's good enough that other people's daughters-in-law don't dislike the elderly. She is much stronger than other people's daughters-in-law, better than your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Don't buy me this and that, making your wife unhappy."

"She is not unhappy, she is not a narrow-minded person. She just asked me to buy it for you to drink in a while."

The last sentence was added by him. Anyway, he would just shamelessly persuade his wife when the time came, this was not a problem.

"Don't buy, don't buy, this is expensive..."

"Drink it first, it won't be good if it gets cold later."

"You drink, I won't drink. You work all day and need to replenish well. I sit at home all day and don't do anything, very comfortable, no need to drink these things," the old lady waved her hand, not intending to take it, and turned directly into the room, "Close the door for me."

Ye Yaodong put the bowl on the small table, "I've drunk it, and the three children have also drunk it. If you give it to them to drink, and I find out, I will beat them up."

"Ah?" The old lady looked at him helplessly, "Then you give it to your wife to drink..."

"She has enough milk... she has enough soup and water, you drink yours. If you don't drink it, I'll take it out and give it to the big black dog at the door."

The old lady angrily patted him and said angrily, "Such a precious thing, you give it to the dog, I'll beat you to death!"

Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Who told you not to drink it?"

"Go go go... you go out, you go out, you only know how to make me angry."

"Then remember to drink it. Next time, eat whatever I give you. If you don't eat it, I'll give it to the big black dog."

Hearing him say this, the old lady felt heartbroken, "You prodigal son!"

"That's also what you spoiled! I'm going to sleep, remember to drink it."

After saying that, he went out directly.

Bringing things for her to eat, he has to nag every time, and he will also be annoyed. He just gave her a preventive shot in advance, it's best to do it once and for all, and it's best to eat whatever he gives in the future.

It must be given to her every day. If she gets used to it, she will take it for granted and won't nag. Everyone has come from a period of material scarcity, and they have eaten too little.

At night, the wind and waves were big, and he couldn't go out to sea. Ye Yaodong had a beautiful and stable sleep, and slept until dawn, only to be awakened by the fragrance of instant noodles.

He smelled the scent and climbed up, seeing a row of children standing by the stove, all attracted by the fragrance.

"Are you dogs? Your noses are so sensitive. I just smelled the scent, and you are already standing there waiting."

"Third Uncle, how much is this instant noodle per pack?" Ye Chenghai swallowed the saliva in his mouth.

"28 cents a pack, why? You want to buy it? How much private money have you saved?"

"I won't tell you."

Lin Xiuqing said to Ye Yaodong, "The noodles are ready, go wash your face and brush your teeth."

She looked at the row of children by the stove and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't cook much just now, I'll cook two more packs for you to share and taste the flavor in the next pot..."

"No need, Third Aunt, my mother cooked porridge, we have to go back to eat porridge." After Ye Chenghai finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled his younger brother and sister, urging them to go home.

Ye Chengjiang licked his saliva, turned his head and brought his younger brother and sister home.

Both of them had been lectured yesterday, so today they were incredibly obedient and honest, and they didn't have the lack of awareness to stay behind and sponge off a meal.

Ye Yaodong didn't keep them when he saw this. When they should learn a lesson, they must learn a lesson, so as not to waste yesterday's education.

Lin Xiuqing served a bowl of instant noodles to everyone. As soon as they were served on the table, the three children hurriedly picked up the chopsticks. They didn't mind the heat, scooped up a full chopstick, but only took a small bite.

"Delicious..."

"So delicious, so fragrant..."

"Instant noodles are so delicious~"

They took small bites, reluctant to eat too fast.

The old lady was the same. Everyone sat down to eat, but the instant noodles in front of her hadn't been moved yet.

Ye Yaodong speechlessly just carried her noodles and walked out of the house. This made the old lady anxious. Thinking of what he said yesterday, that he would give it to the big black dog, she hurriedly followed him quickly.

Those legs and feet were so agile that you couldn't tell she was an old lady.

"Hey hey hey... where are you taking it?"

"Feeding the dog! Didn't you say you wouldn't eat?"

"I eat, I eat! Isn't it too hot? I'm letting it cool down..."

The old lady hurriedly stepped forward and took the bowl from his hand, scolding, "This is bought with money, how can you bear to give it to the dog? You really have too much money, it's hot, and I didn't say I wouldn't eat it. I was just thinking of soaking it for a while longer, so it can swell a bit more later..."

Hearing this, Ye Yaodong had black lines all over his head. It's just instant noodles, and you have to wait for it to swell before eating?

However, there are few people in this era who can spend 20 or 30 cents to buy instant noodles to eat. After all, according to the value, you can buy a family bucket.

And now, ordinary families can't just order a family bucket, people in this era won't just buy a pack of instant noodles.

The 3 children also felt it made sense after hearing this.

"Right right right, let it sit for a while, wait until it swells a bit more before eating..."

One by one, they put down their chopsticks, preparing to wait for it to swell a bit more before eating.

He couldn't help but support his forehead.

"If it swells, it will be mushy, and it won't taste good. Who eats noodles after they get mushy? Don't you know what mushy noodles look like?"

Several people looked at each other, feeling that mushy noodles didn't seem to taste good.

"Eat quickly!"

At the command, everyone ate big mouthfuls without hesitation.

The old lady also sat down again. She stretched her neck and looked at the bowls of the two great-grandsons, wanting to put the noodles in her bowl into their bowls to share, but seeing Dongzi looking at her all the time, she had to glare at him and eat obediently.

Ye Yaodong shook his head. Now everyone loves it so much, but they won't love to eat it in the future.

If A-Qing hadn't cooked porridge this morning, he really wouldn't want to eat instant noodles. He had already eaten enough.

"A-Dong, I see the waves seem a bit big this morning, and there is a bit of wind, and it's quite cool when it blows over. Is a typhoon coming again?"

He put down his chopsticks, frowned, and looked out, "It's really possible."

When he got up at night and went out, the waves were obviously bigger than during the day, and there was wind.

The old lady hurriedly continued, "Then you must not go out to sea these few days. Last year, I went out to sea during the typhoon, and it almost scared the whole family to death."

"I know."

It's enough to do this kind of thing once. If it happens again, he doesn't have the guts. The wind and waves at sea are ruthless.

After eating the noodles, Ye Yaodong ran to the door to see if the waves were big.

The children had just drunk the soup in their bowls, and the bowls were licked clean. Seeing the soup left in his bowl, Lin Guangyuan happily took it over, and the three of them shared the soup.

Lin Xiuqing also shared the soup noodles she hadn't finished in her bowl with them.

The old lady also had this intention, but she had already eaten and bitten the noodles in the bowl, and she felt that she, an old person, was not as clean as young people.

Ordinary people would also dislike old people for being "dirty" and wouldn't dare to eat what old people had eaten. She was embarrassed to give what she had bitten to the children. After struggling for a while, she ate it all.
