Chapter 704

Ye Yaodong originally just said it casually to tease him, but he immediately realized that it had to be this way. If everyone said they were busy and wanted to watch the fun, who would manage the village's security?

This opera is going to be performed for five days. If there were only those twenty or thirty people patrolling, he wouldn't have to do anything for those few days. Wandering around early and late, he wouldn't be able to watch the fun. Who would be willing?

It must be mandatory for one male from each household to participate. The village belongs to everyone, and having a militia to patrol for a few days can also ensure the village's security. No one wants their own family to suffer any losses.

"Alright, alright, you go swat your flies, I'll go talk to Ade."

"Good, good, good, you talk to him and take me off."

Ye Yaodong turned his head and gave him a look, letting him figure it out himself.

However, when he ran to the village committee, the village committee was also discussing the militia issue, and they were all saying that one male from each household must be sent, otherwise everyone would want to watch the fun and no one would want to stand guard and patrol the whole village.

Director Ade was also saying that he had walked around handing out invitations in the morning and mentioned it, but few people were willing. Who made this only temporary, and not like before? Who is willing to give up such a good opera and not watch it?

"Adong, what's the matter?" Secretary Chen asked when he saw Ye Yaodong leaning against the door.

"Oh, I'm also here to talk about the militia."

"Hehe, who else do you want to sign up for?"

"Signing up for all the villagers in our village. The opera is going to be performed for five days, how lively it will be? Everyone wants to watch, right? I want to watch too. If the militia recruits more people to take shifts and share the work, each person only needs to spend one or two days, and they can have other time to watch the fun. It's better to not delay either."

"We are also talking about it there. We are preparing to notify every household in the afternoon. When the time comes, we will arrange a shift, patrol for a few hours in the afternoon, and a few hours at night. If we set up a few more teams, one person will patrol at most for a day or half a day. This is better."

"Okay, as long as you have an idea, it's fine. It just so happened that I was chatting with Azheng and thought of coming over to mention it, so as not to let the village get into chaos and everyone's home get robbed."

"This will definitely be arranged properly. We were originally still discussing it. I just mentioned it to you casually in the morning, I didn't expect you to be so active." Ade said with a smile.

"Of course I have to be active. When the time comes, the whole village will run to the Tianhou Temple to watch the fun, and every house will be empty. Isn't this waiting for thieves to come to the door?"

"Hmm, we'll discuss it and go to every household to tell them tomorrow."

"Okay, nothing to do with me, then I'm leaving." Ye Yaodong greeted them and strolled away again.

The village had never been so lively before, and he was really looking forward to it. In his past life, the Mazu Temple was rebuilt ten years later. Although it was also very lively, it definitely couldn't compare to this life. After all, the county leaders would grace them with their presence, and saying it out loud would make the whole village proud.

Moreover, he remembered that in his past life, the opera was only performed for three days, and the village was already unprecedentedly lively. He didn't know if it was because there was more money left from building the temple and leaders were coming, so they spent a lot of money and actually invited an opera troupe for five days.

The old lady didn't live to that time in her past life, but in this life, she could watch it in advance and enjoy it in advance.

He walked back slowly all the way. There was no one in the village at this time, and they were probably all called home to eat.

And the children in twos and threes on the road had also returned from school, running and jumping with small school bags on their backs. When they saw the dog-tail grass on the side of the road, they had to stop and pull a handful. When they saw dragonflies and butterflies, they also had to stop and catch them for a while, and then ran further and further away from the road home...

Ye Yaodong watched the children's excited chasing figures, smiled, and continued on his own way.

However, when he saw his son squatting in front, letting Ye Chenghai stretch his legs and draw two lines on his head, he couldn't smile anymore.

This idiot!

"Ye Chenghu, what are you doing?"

"Ah? Dad?"

Ye Chenghu saw his father walking over and hurriedly smiled and ran towards him, "Just now, Sister Xiuxiu jumped over my head while I was squatting there picking up marbles. This will make me unlucky, so I let Brother Ahai draw two lines on my head, so it won't happen."

Ye Yaodong's head was full of black lines, but he was like this when he was a child, so he couldn't blame him for being stupid.

"Go home and eat!"

"Third Uncle, when is the tide going out today?"

"It will go out in a while."

"Then we'll go pick up octopuses after we finish eating."

"Third Uncle, when will you buy us instant noodles and soda? Is there enough money?" Ye Chengjiang asked impatiently.

Ye Chenghu shouted eagerly, "How is it enough? There are so many of you... There are many more bottles and cans left by others on the beach now, and the ones caught have become fewer. How can my dad have so much money?"

This is a food-guarding one. He doesn't have any, and it's best if others don't have any either!

"But we've been catching them for many days, it must be enough to buy food." Ye Chenghe said unwillingly.

"Don't listen to him, Third Uncle has the final say. He only wants money and not food. He doesn't have anything to eat, so of course he doesn't want Third Uncle to buy it for us." Ye Chenghai said reasonably.

Several children glared at each other, almost like fighting cocks.

Ye Yaodong shook his head helplessly. He was still waiting for when they would be discovered, and then buy food to comfort them after a beating?

He didn't expect them to be able to persist for so many days without being discovered.

In the past few days, he went out to sea, and these few collected them and secretly put them in his house. Anyway, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law followed them out to sea, and they didn't know anything when they came back. Occasionally, when they were busy and forgot, they didn't ask, and they really escaped a disaster.

"Alright, I'll buy it for you at the small shop after eating later, just in time for you to take it to school in the afternoon, so you won't be discovered."

"Thank you, Third Uncle!"

Hearing the affirmative answer, their recent efforts were not in vain, and several of them shouted in unison excitedly.

Only Ye Chenghu was depressed.

However, when eating lunch, he was no longer depressed, and even became excited.

Because bursts of unclear cries for help and scolding came from the neighbor's neighbor, and not long after, scolding and beating sounds also came from the neighbor's house. This time it was exceptionally clear, making his eyes shine.

Brother Ahai and the others were beaten!

Hehe, they must have been discovered.

Hmph, who told you to ask my dad to buy things to eat every day?

The old lady heard the scolding and beating next door and hurriedly put down her chopsticks, "What's going on? Why beat the children while eating? They haven't been home for a few days, and they've only been home for one day, and there's no peace... I'll go take a look..."

"No need to look, what's there to look at? They must have gone back with empty buckets again and were discovered."

Ye Yaodong knew from the movement that they were finally exposed.

The old lady stays at home all day and knows that these children are clever and sent the octopuses they received to Dongzi's house, and then carried empty buckets back all day, clearly favoring outsiders.

"Then you go save them..."

"Not going. If I go, I'll hear them sell me out. If I don't go, I can pretend I don't know. In a while, I can buy them instant noodles and soda to comfort them."

Without knowing the truth, they can still be good uncle and nephews.

"They are so big, and they are still messing around with them all day."

"You eat yours."

After speaking, Ye Yaodong glared at Ye Chenghu again, "Don't gloat anymore, eat your meal. Now you know how important it is to have a good dad, right?"

"Then will you buy me instant noodles and soda too?"

"Dreaming? Buy it yourself."

Ye Chenghu was depressed again. He caught octopuses and sold them to his dad, but his dad had to share half with Yangyang. Clearly, he caught more than the others, but after splitting it in half, he became the least, and he didn't have enough to buy after saving for several days.

Lin Xiuqing was feeding Ye Xiaoxi porridge on the side, just watching and listening silently. Clearly, it was the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law who beat the children, but he said the importance of a good dad, just to gild his own face.

After lunch, looking at the 6 boys and girls standing at his door covering their butts with sad faces, Ye Yaodong didn't wait for them to speak and went to fulfill his promise with a full face of smiles.

He took the initiative to push the bicycle out, bought six packs of Hongfa instant noodles and six bottles of orange-flavored soda, and came back to comfort their injured souls and bodies.

Ye Chenghai tearfully distributed a portion to his brothers and sisters. He still held the last portion in his hand, not wanting to share it with Ye Chenghe, and pointed at his nose and scolded.

"You idiot, fool! I'm so pissed off! You caused all of us to be beaten, and we don't have food to eat. I should have told Third Uncle not to buy it for you, you pig brain."

Ye Chenghe was also tearful, "Who knew Mom was so smart? I just said I didn't want to eat lunch, I just wanted to save my stomach to eat instant noodles and soda..."

"You pig brain!"

Ye Chenghai was so angry that if his butt didn't hurt from being beaten, he would have wanted to press this idiot on the ground and beat him up.

"How can I have a brother as stupid as you? I'm so pissed off."

Ye Yaodong finally understood the reason for their exposure, and almost laughed to death at Ye Chenghe. He really was a pig brain.

Indeed not smart!

Half-grown boys eat their father poor. After going to school for most of the day and making noise all morning, how can there be children who are not hungry and don't want to eat when they come back? Usually, there is only a time when they are not full enough.

Isn't this obviously problematic?

Is it okay to ask for a beating?

It also implicated a group of brothers and sisters to be punished together, beaten together, and hungry together.

Ye Chenghe is not a smart child.

Lin Xiuqing was also listening on the side with a full face of smiles. This child is a bit cute in his stupidity.

"It's all your Third Uncle's fault. If he told you to buy it when you came back from school at night, you wouldn't have been discovered."

"Haha, is this my fault again?"

Ye Chenghe actually nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, if Third Uncle said he would buy it for us when we came back from school at night, I wouldn't have said I wouldn't eat, so Mom wouldn't have discovered it, and everyone wouldn't have to be beaten and hungry."

Sure enough, not smart.

Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead hard, turning his forehead red, and threatened, "So, you don't want to eat instant noodles and soda anymore?"

"Want, want, want, it's me who is too stupid, it has nothing to do with Third Uncle." After speaking, he grabbed the instant noodles and soda that Ye Chenghai was holding in his arms.

The beating was over, if the food was gone, he would cry to death under the bed.

Several of them were punished standing after being beaten, and they didn't even have food to eat, so they were counting on this as a meal.

Ye Chenghu gloated and watched them holding rice crust in his hand. This time he didn't envy them for having food to eat.

He also had rice crust, which was also very fragrant. The key is that his stomach was full, and it seemed he wasn't that greedy anymore.

"So fragrant, the rice crust is so crispy~"

Ye Chenghe glared at him, took the instant noodles and shook them in front of him a few times, and pressed them hard, crushing them into small pieces, "Instant noodles are more fragrant and crispy."

Ye Chenghu was unmoved and deliberately sat on the stool next to them, but he bounced up like his butt was on fire, and said strangely.

"Ouch~ so painful~ so painful~ my butt~ my butt~"

The six boys and girls all frowned in unison, wanting to rush up and press him on the ground and beat him up.

Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest son's cheeky appearance and felt it was somewhat familiar...

Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted the eldest son's back of the head, "Don't mess around, otherwise after your brothers and sisters' butts are better, your days won't be easy?"

"Hehe~"

"Brother, I think instant noodles are still delicious!" Ye Chengyang also held a small piece of rice crust in his hand.

"You are also an idiot."

Ye Yaodong smiled and looked at the group of children, "Alright, hurry up and finish eating and go to school, otherwise you will be beaten again when your mother sees you later."

Several children nodded like garlic pounding, and started crushing the instant noodles in their hands.

In an instant, the room was full of plastic bag sounds, followed by crispy sounds, and the gurgling sound of drinking beverages.

Ye Chenghu suddenly felt that the rice crust in his hand was not fragrant, dry and thin, clearly it was very fragrant and crispy just now.

He glanced at Ye Chengyang, who was still gnawing with relish. If he didn't know, he would think he was also eating instant noodles.

Idiot!

He ran to the door and squatted unhappily.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the old lady also walked out slowly, and hit his butt twice with a cane, "Get up, get up."

"Grandma?"

The old lady felt her pocket, took out a handkerchief, opened it tremblingly, took out two five-cent coins and handed them to him, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Is it enough?"

Ye Chenghu was so excited that he was about to jump up, hurriedly nodded, and said in a low voice: "Enough, enough."

"Don't tell anyone else."

"Hmm hmm."

Ye Chenghu happily took it and put the two coins in two separate pockets, so there would be no sound~

He was flushed with excitement, and would buy it at the school gate later, and secretly take it to school to eat, so Yangyang and the others wouldn't know, but the classmates would know.

He is too smart.
