Chapter 744

Ye Xiaoxi walked with her short legs, falling as she walked, but couldn't catch up with a single dog, which amused a group of adults.

Ye Yaodong's upturned mouth never came down, looking happy.

"Others walk dogs, our family is dogs walking a baby!"

Lin Xiuqing also found it very funny, "It's just right to find something for her to do. Otherwise, she'll only be naughty if she's idle. She looks like she's walking more smoothly these days, but she's also getting naughtier."

Ye Fu looked at his old face and smiled, "Boys and girls are the same, there's no one who isn't naughty. Chasing chickens and driving dogs is a common thing."

"It's a good thing the chickens and ducks that just hatched yesterday are still in the nest, otherwise she would be even busier." The old lady also sat up and said with a smile.

"Without a companion, staying in the yard, she can only find things for herself to do."

"The one in Huimei's family is still small and can't walk yet. If she could walk, she could bring her over to play for a while."

Lin Xiuqing said with a smile: "She is also very busy now. She has only been working at the village committee for a few days, and the child has been left to the sister-in-law to watch recently. How can she have time to visit?"

Ever since Ye Yaodong persuaded her, she went to find Ye Huimei two days later and gave the job at the village committee to her, which surprised her.

And she also expressed, "If Third Sister-in-law can free up her hands and have time to go to work, I will return the job to you."

This made her feel very comforted, and she was no longer unwilling. Now when she talks about it, she is also full of smiles.

"When she gets a bit bigger and is brought over to play together, she will have a companion."

"I guess they will be naughty together."

Ye Xiaoxi was sweating profusely from chasing, and seemed tired. After falling down accidentally, she didn't cry. After standing up with her butt sticking out, she ran to the steps next to Lin Xiuqing and sat down.

The beans that were still in her hand just now didn't know where they had been thrown. She seemed to have forgotten what she was going to do, and looked curiously at the adults around her who were laughing at her, not understanding what everyone was laughing at.

However, she was also quite good at finding fun for herself and finding work for herself.

Just after sitting for less than two minutes, she couldn't sit still and went into the house again.

Lin Xiuqing originally thought that she was short and couldn't find anything even if she wanted to, so she would just walk around and come out.

But didn't expect that just after she went in for a while, the old hen in the chicken coop clucked and ran out of the house, while she was driving it away with her arms spread out behind it.

Lin Xiuqing couldn't sit still now, and ran in to pick her up, "Oh, can't you be quiet for a while?"

Ye Xiaoxi hugged her neck and giggled, revealing four small teeth, and her two hands kept rubbing Lin Xiuqing's ponytail on the back of her head.

"Ah! Aqing..."

"Ah?"

The old lady sat up from the rocking chair, pointing at her hair angrily and amusedly: "This girl smeared chicken poop on your hair..."

"Ah!!!"

Lin Xiuqing quickly grabbed the girl's hand, looked at her palm, and a pile of unknown sticky things was messed up on her hand. She almost couldn't breathe...

"You wait for me, stand still! Don't move!"

She glared at Ye Xiaoxi, put her on the ground, turned her head, grabbed the ponytail on the back of her head, took a look, and was instantly furious.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know what she had done wrong yet, her two palms were still spread out there, rubbing back and forth, looking at her mother innocently.

Ye Yaodong reacted quickly, ran up to pick up the child, "Hehe, too naughty, I'll scold her, you go wash your hair first."

"Anything can be played with, and she smeared chicken poop on my hair. She has been making noise all afternoon and won't sleep. I'll beat her later..."

"Yes, yes, beat her. You go wash your hair first, and hold her to sleep after washing, so she won't be naughty." Ye Yaodong said while holding her to the back door.

Ye Xiaoxi didn't know what she had done wrong, still clapping her palms there, and wanted to touch Ye Yaodong's face while playing.

Scared, Ye Yaodong immediately tilted his head back and quickly put her on the ground.

"My ancestor, what's on your hand is chicken poop, hurry up and wash it, you can't grab and touch everything, is it dirty?"

"Ah Dad..."

"Wash, wash, Yangyang didn't seem to be like this when he was young..."

Ye Yaodong scooped a ladle of water from the big water vat at the back door, rinsed her hands clean, let her stand in place, and went into the house to get a towel, planning to wash her face by the way.

But didn't expect that just at the moment of turning his head, she took the water ladle herself, stood on tiptoe, wanted to reach into the water vat, but couldn't reach the mouth, and could only keep hitting the water vat with the water ladle...

"Oh, my god, you just learned to walk, what if you were bigger???"

Fortunately, she was short and couldn't reach it, otherwise if she climbed on the water vat, wouldn't she have fallen in?

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but doubt at this time, who told him in his previous life that girls are more obedient than boys? She just learned to walk not long ago!

Lin Xiuqing also brought a basin of hot water to the back door at this time, saw it, and was very helpless.

"Give me the water ladle to mix with cold water, you take her to the front door first, don't let her be naughty."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Yaodong quickly took the water ladle from her hand, put it into the basin Aqing was holding, and quickly picked her up and held her to the front door.

He had to continue bundling firewood, so when he sat down, he put her in front of him and clamped her with his legs to prevent her from running around and making trouble.

However, she was really restless. When she was clamped and couldn't move, she called out ah ah ah, twisting her body to get out. Ye Yaodong could only let her out to play for a while.

"Can't be naughty, otherwise you'll really be beaten in a while."

"Just put her in the standing cage."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong also felt that it was safer to put her in the standing cage, otherwise if he didn't see her for a while, she might make trouble again.

But she was indeed very restless. As soon as she was put in, she wanted to climb out with her hands and feet. He didn't know where such vigorous energy came from?

Ye Yaodong thought for a while, so he had to pick a tomato from the vegetable field, wash it, and cut half for her to gnaw. Only then did she quiet down for a while.

It was just that Lin Xiuqing came out after washing her hair and looked at her collar and chest, which were all covered in tomato juice, and felt depressed again.

"It's really dirty, I don't know how many clothes she has to change in a day."

"Just make a few more."

"It's easy to say, don't you need fabric?"

"Didn't you bring back a lot last year? There should be some left, I saw there are still some in your cabinet."

"Is it a waste? Such a small child, how many clothes do you want to make? Just take the ones her brothers and sisters can't wear and modify them. No need to make new ones, it's too wasteful. And when the weather gets hot, it will be time to change seasons soon. In hot weather, just wear vests and pants."

"Make a few small skirts! Girls have to wear small skirts, otherwise they wear their brothers' clothes every day, gray and dusty, how ugly."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, "Like this, she plays in the mud or plays with chicken poop every day, or chases chickens and drives dogs. What small skirt to wear? Just fall down, and her knees will be broken."

"That's true, then wear pants."

Sigh, children in the city can wear beautiful skirts, but girls in the countryside still wear pants for convenience, otherwise, with this uneven gravel road, their knees would be pitted.

The two boys in the family are also the same, there is no good meat on their legs, all are small scars from falling.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him, picked up the child from the standing cage, and snatched the tomato she was still gnawing on with relish from her hand, throwing it towards the pile of dogs, letting them fight for it.

She kept muttering, full of disdain, and then carried her back to the house, wiped her hands and feet again, changed her clothes, and pressed her on the bed to sleep.

Only when she fell asleep was the world quiet, and she could busy herself with her own things.

Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu were busy until dark before they finished bundling the firewood piled up like a small mountain.

And the two brothers next door also came back at dusk. Seeing that their father and younger brother had even prepared the firewood, they were suddenly anxious.

When others didn't prepare, they weren't anxious, but once they saw that others were prepared, they were suddenly anxious.

"Dad, Dongzi, you prepared the firewood so quickly?"

"Prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard. It just so happens that we took a day off today to clean up the boat, and had free time in the afternoon to go up the mountain to cut firewood."

The two brothers looked at each other, reluctant to rest.

"Tell your two wives not to go to sea tomorrow, let them go up the mountain to cut firewood. It just so happens that the pile of shells brought back today also needs to be cleaned up tomorrow, otherwise it will easily go bad." Ye Fu said.

The brothers nodded. They really have to prepare in advance, otherwise they will be caught off guard if the fishing season comes suddenly.

"Then Dad, that... when will the boat from the border defense station be sold?"

Ye Fu looked at Ye Yaodong, "Don't know, who knows when? If there is news, I will tell you, but it shouldn't be that easy to buy."

He heard Dongzi mention it the day before yesterday, but didn't think much about it, just thinking of telling the eldest and second eldest to let them prepare money. If they knew the wind in advance, they would go directly.

Later, after returning home, he thought about it, this kind of boat definitely wouldn't be easy to buy.

Which family doesn't have a few relatives and friends?

How could it be their turn to buy? Dongzi was also lucky, someone spoke up, so he definitely had a boat, others shouldn't think about it.

The facts were indeed so.

Only three days later, when Ye Yaodong came back from sea and just arrived home with a tired body.

Lin Xiuqing greeted him excitedly, "Adong, the border defense station called this afternoon, asking you to go over early tomorrow morning to handle the procedures and sail the boat back."

"Really?"

Ye Yaodong was suddenly energetic, and his exhaustion was swept away.

"Really, the phone call just came this afternoon."

"Good, good, good..." Ye Fu was also happy.
