Chapter 526: Rolling wool

Lin Xiuqing is ordering her youngest son to work, letting him stretch his hands forward straight. She twists a wool thread that has been twisted into a long twist in the opposite direction and puts it on his arm.

And she grabs his two arms, letting him continue to spread his arms again, stretching the wool to the tightest.

"Alright, just keep it like this, be good and help work, there will be rewards later."

Ye Chengyang said happily: "Mother, is it a reward of apples? I saw it all."

Lin Xiuqing smiled: "Your eyes are sharp, I put it in the basket and covered it with a cloth and you still saw it. Be good and help work, and I will distribute apples to you after eating."

"Good, good, and distribute to brothers and sisters!"

"You are quite generous, and you know how to share, better than your eldest brother who is stingy and protects food."

The old lady also smiled and said: "Yangyang is the best, he knows how to love his brothers and sisters."

Ye Chengyang was coaxed into submission, smiling happily, standing there obediently as a pile.

Lin Xiuqing found one end of the thread in the ball of wool on his hand, and then put her left four fingers together, constantly winding the wool on the four fingers. After winding a small ball, she took it off her fingers and wound it horizontally.

Then she slowly wound a ball of thread into a small ball, and continued to wind and roll.

Ye Chengyang watched the wool spread out in his hand, rolling up quickly in his mother's hand. He also cooperated with the pulling force of the thread, turning a circle to the left and a circle to the right, cooperating with the thread being rolled out, feeling a bit fun.

"Mother, what are you doing with the ball?"

"Knitting sweaters for you three brothers and sisters."

His eyes instantly lit up again, "Really? We are going to have new clothes again."

Lin Xiuqing smiled: "Yes, the conditions at home are good this year, so I plan to knit a new sweater for each of you, so you can wear it warmly in winter, to save you from hanging two Yellow Rivers under your nose all day, and then wiping it with your sleeves, it's dirty to death, and the sleeves are hard every day."

The old lady hurriedly said: "The sweaters of previous years, the eldest's is short and can't be worn, and can continue to be worn by the second, at most the sleeves are folded. The second can't wear it, so the thread is dismantled, and some thread is added to knit for the eldest, so that a new one and an old one can have two to change and wash, and the extra thread can be used to knit a vest for the little nine."

"Yes, that's what I thought, so I took the time to go to the town this afternoon to buy some wool, and plan to knit it while the weather is just turning cool, so that there will be something to wear when it cools down next month."

"It's a pity that my eyes are not good now, otherwise I could help knit two pieces of clothing."

"That's not simple, just take you to match a pair of reading glasses, isn't it?" Ye Yaodong just pushed the cart to the door and heard their conversation, and hurriedly spoke.

"Dongzi is back?"

"Why are you back so early today?" Lin Xiuqing flipped her left wrist and checked the watch on her hand. It was only three-thirty. She said, she also just arrived home for a while, and thought she came back late.

"There is no cargo today, so I came back early. I brought back three baskets of Balang fish, which should be about 200 jin. I will call mother to come over and help kill it later."

"Another 200 jin," Lin Xiuqing endured the words she was about to complain, and changed the subject, "Mother is still far from getting off work, I will kill it first."

She took the ball of wool that was half-rolled from the room and handed it to the old lady. It was the size of her fist, "It just happens that you are idle, you roll this."

"Good, good, good, I will do this."

Ye Yaodong then noticed what they were doing. No wonder he heard the old lady say that her eyesight was not good just now, otherwise she could help knit.

"When did you buy the wool? Didn't you leave a lot of cloth at home?"

"Cloth can only be used to make autumn clothes and trousers or to wear outside. For warmth, you still have to knit two sweaters."

"Oh."

He looked at the old lady again, "You really have to match a pair of reading glasses for you, otherwise you can't see things clearly, right? I will take you to the town to match a pair when I am free in two days."

"No, no, I can see. Who said I can't see? I'm not blind. Do you see me looking like I can't see usually?"

"Is it two or three yuan? It's normal to have presbyopia when you are old. Matching a pair of glasses costs at most two or three yuan, don't worry about spending money."

"Is it two or three yuan?" The old lady hesitated for a moment, "Then I have it, then... then match one..."

Ye Yaodong shook his head amusedly. Could he still let her take out her coffin money?

However, he could take her to take a photo by the way.

"When it's windy and you can't go out to sea, I will take you, so you can do more work, and you can help knit two sweaters."

"Hey hey, yes yes, wearing glasses, I can also knit sweaters."

The old lady found her value again and was happy again, and didn't feel distressed about the money for matching glasses.

Lin Xiuqing took the kitchen knife and cutting board out of the room and saw Ye Yaodong coaxing the old lady to be happy again. Obviously, the old lady was most distressed about him spending money.

She smiled and complained, "You are coaxing you to work, and you are still so happy."

"This shows that I, an old immortal, still have some use. I... am not afraid of work, I am just afraid of not being able to work. Doing some work is at least a bit of activity, exercising the body. So, you guys also don't always not let me go to the ground, I plant some vegetables, you guys also have something to eat."

"The family is busier than one, going to work, going to sea, going to school, and taking care of children. I am the only old idle person, of course I have to help do something."

"The seeds of the cover vegetables can also be sown tomorrow. Wait until the end of the year or early spring to take them to pickle some pickles, or wait until March 3 to cook cover vegetable rice, which is also delicious..."

"In a few days, the sweet potato can also be turned out. Tomorrow, the sweet potato vines must be cut, and it is just right to take them to your second sister-in-law to feed the pigs..."

The old lady muttered while rolling the wool.

Ye Yaodong moved the three baskets of fish off the board and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Cut the sweet potato vines later. You can pick a handful to stir-fry a bowl at night."

"What are you eating that for? That's for pigs. There is spinach in the ground. Just pull a few spinach to stir-fry."

"Then I think stir-fried sweet potato vines are quite delicious."

There will be people selling this in the market in the future! How can I bear to feed this to pigs.

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "There is nothing delicious. Since you want to eat sweet potato vines, then I will stir-fry a bowl for you at night."

"I am called easy to raise. I can eat things that pigs eat."

Lin Xiuqing almost blurted out: Do you eat things that dogs eat?

She swallowed it back, changed the subject and said: "How much money did you sell today?"

"42 yuan."

"That's okay, right?"

As far as she knows, villagers can only sell for about 40 or 50 yuan when trawling is good, and most of them are 30 or 40.

"Okay?" Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "Trawling dragged two baskets of miscellaneous goods, probably worth five or six yuan, almost didn't earn back the fuel money."

"Is it because you caught big fish, so you sold so much money?"

"It's because longline fishing encountered a small wave of mackerel pods, so there were few empty hooks, and I collected a lot of cargo. Later, I encountered dolphins driving fish pods, and scooped three more nets to fill it, so I could sell so much."

"Quite good."

"Mm, it's okay, mainly because the fish cargo scooped is not worth much money, so I left three baskets of Balang fish back."

"Anyway, it's cold, if you encounter fish that are not worth money, bring them back, dry more."

"Don't you always complain that you have a fishy smell on your body, and you kill the fish that others have to kill in a lifetime every day, and now you have to dry more?"

"Complaining is complaining, who let the married chicken follow the chicken, the married dog follow the dog, the married shoulder pole, carry it and go? Married to a fisherman, then you can only recognize your life and kill fish for a lifetime."

"Well said, you have to recognize your life and kill fish for a lifetime, otherwise if you marry into the big mountains, you still have to carry manure and farm, which is not as easy as it is now."

Ye Yaodong squatted there to help work, took out the fish gills from the position of the fish gills, together with the fish belly and fish internal organs, and then threw the fish to Aqing to chop the head.

Aqing rolled her eyes at him, and then chopped the fish head hard with a knife.

This force felt a bit big to him, making him couldn't help but look at her more, don't imagine him as a fish head chopped.

"Is carrying manure a man's job?"

"Women can also do it. Isn't it advocated that men and women are equal now?"

"Crooked reason! You hurry up and go take a bath, I get angry when I hear you talk."

"Cut~ can't talk to others and get angry, women are women~"

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, gestured with a kitchen knife, Ye Yaodong hurriedly moved two steps to the side, then stepped back and stood up.

"Zamu!"

Ye Chengyang kept turning his head to look at them, and also learned to shout, "Zamu!"

The old lady stopped the wool she was rolling, smiled and poked his forehead, "Don't learn the bad, learn your father, you will be scolded."

Ye Chengyang giggled, "Mother is Zamu."

Ye Yaodong patted his little head, "Yes, your mother is Zamu! That's right."

The old lady smiled and patted Ye Yaodong's arm, "Go take a bath, don't be glib here, teach the son bad."

"Mm."

"Father, mother also bought apples, red and looking delicious."

"Good, I will reward you with half later."

Ye Chengyang smiled proudly, "Mother just said to reward me, father rewards half again, then I should have one."

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead, "Smart ghost."

"Hehe~"

"Help me take off my shoes and wash my feet, I will reward you with half again..."

Ye Chengyang's facial features instantly wrinkled into a ball, and he hurriedly refused, "Don't want it, enough..." ===== CHAPTER 527 =====
