Chapter 691

After lunch, Ye Yaodong went to call Zhou Shu to drive the tractor over, preparing to send Lin Fu, Lin Mu, and the two brothers-in-law back in one trip.

Lin Xiuqing took the red envelopes they had sent over and put them all into a basket to give them to take back. She also put a few new towels in the basket; this was their local gift for guests, not letting them return empty-handed.

She also took the opportunity to stuff Lin Fu and Lin Mu's wages into their hands. The tractor was waiting there, and the two elders were afraid of keeping people waiting, so they couldn't refuse and accepted it.

Lin's two sisters-in-law were also very happy to see this; the two elders hadn't worked for nothing.

Ye Yaodong also carried a sack of dried fish for them and packed a basket of various dried shellfish for them to take back.

Only after sending everyone off did they all breathe a sigh of relief. Even if it was just a simple meal for the two families, it wasn't easy.

Ye Fu had drunk some wine at noon and was slightly tipsy now, his face red. He let out a hiccup and said, "Now that they've been sent back, when do you plan to send them to the city again?"

"The day after tomorrow afternoon? It just so happens that the dried goods the sisters-in-law and the neighbors dried should be dry by tomorrow, so we'll send them all together."

"Then it's up to you."

"Wait until tomorrow when the wine wears off before talking about it. Everyone's face is red and they're drunk; hurry up and go back to sleep first. So much wine drunk, and they don't know how to take it easy, drink a little less..." Ye Mu supported Ye Fu while nagging, intending to send people back first and then come over to clean up.

Actually, there wasn't much left of the lunch dishes. In this day and age, how could there be leftovers when treating guests to a meal? If there was food, they ate it openly. It was only some shelled things that they felt had no meat and were too lazy to peel that were left over.

For them, these seaside families, no one cared about it; there was plenty left over and poured out every day.

Ye Dasao and Ye Ersao didn't feel it was a pity either; they poured the leftover dishes and soup together to feed the family's dogs. It wasn't a waste, and it let the dogs get a share and have a full meal.

Ye Yaodong was happy today and had drunk a bit too much at noon. His walk was slightly unsteady, and he fell asleep as soon as he entered the house, and he slept until dark.

He didn't even eat dinner, and he didn't even know when his wife and daughter lay down beside him. He just felt someone beside him when he woke up after sleeping enough, so he hugged them casually.

Lin Xiuqing also felt the movement beside her, turned to her side, faced him, hugged him, and spoke with slight morning grumpiness.

"Woke up?"

"Yeah."

Ye Yaodong buried his head in the crook of her neck, rubbed against it, and his hands and feet became restless. His two legs clamped her legs, and his hand reached into her hem.

Lin Xiuqing followed his movements, just hugging him.

"Are you hungry? Should I cook you some noodles? Or stew two eggs for you?"

"Not hungry yet."

Continued to grope...

"Let me see what time it is..."

"No need to look, look at what? It's pitch black and you can't see anything. You'll know when you get up later."

"Then you should get up?" Lin Xiuqing pushed his shoulder, but he remained as immovable as a mountain, continuing to fiddle with what was in his hand.

"Just woke up, I'm brewing, slowing down..."

He also took a deep sniff at her neck. Hmm... bathed, with a faint scent of soap mixed with body fragrance, fresh and pleasant.

"If you're restless, you're restless, yet you still say brewing, slowing down..."

"I was just thinking that today is our daughter's first birthday, we have to celebrate..."

Ye Yaodong held her earlobe in his mouth while pulling at her clothes...

Lin Xiuqing had tea stems stuffed in her ear holes, and there was still a bit of a foreign object sensation when he gnawed on them, leading him to play for a good while before he was willing to shift his position...

"Talking nonsense... we already celebrated at lunch..."

"That was everyone celebrating together, not just the two of us."

"In the middle of the night..."

"In broad daylight, you didn't have time, and I didn't have time. Didn't you also think it was too bright? Don't talk, focus..."

Lin Xiuqing bit her lower lip. Seeing that he had the mind for it, she just swayed with the wind...

After a long time, the two hugged each other for a good while before separating.

"So hot, I'm sweating..." Lin Xiuqing sat up and touched her back. It was wet, and she felt disgusted.

After Ye Yaodong was satisfied, he felt refreshed, and all his morning grumpiness was gone. "I'll go outside and get you some water."

"No need, I'll do it myself. Anyway, I have to get up and cook something for you to eat."

"I'll just boil two eggs and eat them, that'll do."

"I'll go, you're clumsy..." Lin Xiuqing casually put on a vest and shorts and went out. Anyway, there was no one in her own house, and everyone was asleep.

Ye Yaodong also casually put on some clothes and followed her out. Anyway, he was awake.

"I'll help with the fire."

Lin Xiuqing was holding a small handful of straw and was just about to light the fire. Hearing this, she turned her head and smiled. "What's there to help with? I told you to lie down, but you wouldn't."

"Men and women working together, the work isn't tiring. Anyway, I've slept enough."

She stuffed the lit straw into the stove, then took down the basket hanging on the wall and felt two eggs out of it.

"I'll fry two sunny-side-up eggs for you, and cook a bowl of longevity noodles? There are also mushrooms."

"Either is fine, you decide, I'm not picky. However, don't pour rice wine. I drank a bit too much at noon. Just scoop a spoonful of shallot oil, it'll be more fragrant..."

"There's also dried sea lettuce, you can grab a few and put them in, it'll be fresher..."

"Are there any daylilies? Put a few daylilies in too, don't use green vegetables, so I don't have to run to the doorway to pick them."

"Is there any shrimp left from the afternoon?" Ye Yaodong said he wasn't picky, but he was walking around rummaging.

Lin Xiuqing: This is called not picky?

"Got it, stop rummaging. You don't know where things are put. I'll just get it ready for you."

She responded and turned her head to prepare the side dishes for him according to his requirements.

The fire was already burning in the stove, and there was still firewood left over from dinner. It was just cooking a bowl of noodle soup, so there was no need to add more. Ye Yaodong had nothing to do, so he followed behind her, wandering around.

"Can you sit down? Don't follow me?"

In the way! Following back and forth!

Ye Yaodong reached out and hugged her from behind. "Where am I in the way?"

"Everywhere is in the way. If you have nothing to do, sit at the table and wait. I'll cook it in a second, and it'll be ready immediately." Lin Xiuqing turned around and pushed him. "We're an old married couple, yet you're still so clingy. Don't get so close to me, how can I work like this?"

"No sense of romance!"

Lin Xiuqing patted him, and only then did he let go. If he hugged and held her all day long, she wouldn't have to do anything.

Ye Yaodong was disliked, so he had no choice but to sit at the table, crossing his legs and waiting to eat. "Wife, I see you're quite busy every day, and you have to manage everything inside and out. Why don't we just give up that job at the village committee? Anyway, you can't get away."

Lin Xiuqing was shocked and turned her head to glare at him. "Are you stupid? What a good job, that's eating public food. How many people dream of wanting to do it but can't? This is a pie falling from the sky and hitting us, yet you still don't want it and are thinking of throwing it away? Is the money earned too much, is it hot to the touch? Are you stupid!"

"But you're too busy to handle it, and you don't have time to go. You're busy washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of children every day. Can you spare the time? Mom doesn't have time to help you either, and we're not short of that few dozen yuan salary a month."

"That's also public food, an iron rice bowl. What a pity to not want it. It was delivered to our doorstep. Other people can sell a job for a lot of money, how can you say you don't want it just because you don't want it?"

Although Aqing also felt that she was very busy and had to manage everything inside and out at home, and Ye Mu didn't have time to help, how could she leave for a moment?

However, how could she be willing to give up a good job just like that? In the past, she had dreamed of having a job to earn money.

"Then you don't have time to go, and there are no brothers or sisters here who can replace you. Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are also illiterate, otherwise give it to them."

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily. "You're quite generous. For one job, the two of them would fight, and they wouldn't talk to each other in the future. It's better to give it to Huimei; Huimei is at least literate."

"Doesn't she also have to take care of children and look after the family?"

"She still has two sisters-in-law who haven't married out. The family can let the sisters-in-law manage things. It's not impossible to go to work with a child on her back; it's right here in our village."

That works too, giving it to the younger sister is even better.

"Alright, then let's give it to Huimei. You go tell her tomorrow."

Lin Xiuqing was stunned for a moment. "Just talking about it casually, you're taking it seriously? You really don't want the job? And you're really giving it to Huimei?"

"Who's joking with you? I've always been serious. Isn't it because I feel sorry for you, being busy inside and out? If you really want to go to work, I'll tell Mom to stop working and ask her to come back to take care of the children and look after the house for us?"

"Then she'll scold you to death!" She said angrily.

Ye Mu is so glorious now. She walks with the wind in the village, head held high, not to mention how spirited she is, full of spring breeze all day long. If he dared to tell her not to go to work and stay at home to take care of the children for them, he would be scolded to a pulp.

Ye Yaodong rubbed his nose and thought about it. It was true. According to his mother's nature, as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be scolded from head to toe, saying his brain was full of shit.

"Then you just don't go to work. If you go to work, there will be no one to watch our house. How many treasures are there in our house? And when I'm not at home, you have to watch the dried fish being loaded onto the truck."

Lin Xiuqing still couldn't bear to give up such a good job.

"Then let's wait and see, let's talk about it later? Everything was fine, why are you talking about it now?"

"Isn't it because I'm thinking it's been dragged on for more than half a year? Before, I said wait until after the year, but we didn't go after the year either. We can't just occupy the quota while people give us a job and we drag it out. It's okay for a short time, but it's not good if it drags on for too long."

Lin Xiuqing thought that was true, but as soon as she thought it was an iron rice bowl, she couldn't bear to give it up no matter how she thought about it.

"Let me think about it for a few days, what a pity..."

"Huimei isn't an outsider, don't you two have a good relationship?"

"That's different."

"Think about the treasures in our house, think about how much money you have on hand, and you won't feel it's a pity."

"Who would think they have too much money?"

"You won't be able to spend it all in this lifetime, so why go to work? If I could, I wouldn't want to work either."

This is the truth!

It's a pity that in the previous life, he was too lazy. In this life, even if he doesn't earn money, he has to have something to do to show he's not useless.

Lin Xiuqing put the cooked noodles heavily on the table, and the soup spilled out. She said angrily, "You don't want to work every day. Even if there's money to be earned, you don't want to work. You don't want to work yourself, and you don't want others to work either."

After saying that, she turned and went back to the room.

Ye Yaodong looked at her back inexplicably. "Eh? What did I say? What are you losing your temper about?"

Just now when he told her not to go to work, he didn't see her get angry? Why is she angry now?

Strange!
