Chapter 796: Appeasement

The other children, holding the money in their hands, also immediately rushed toward the small shop in the village first.

Having money to buy things to eat, how could they possibly let it stay overnight? They definitely had to spend it immediately and show it off into their mouths.

Ye Yaodong, with his arm around Ye Chenghai's shoulder, walked behind, smiling and saying, "Still depressed, unwilling to give up?"

Ye Chenghai's mouth was pouted enough to hang an oil bottle. He was sulking and didn't speak.

"I'm telling you, Ah Yuan intercepted quite a lot. In this half a month, he split over thirty yuan, just a little less than your wages..."

Knife X1

Touching the sore spot!

His face turned even darker, and he said angrily, "Ah~ stop talking, Third Uncle, I'm so angry! My mom didn't give me a single cent. I worked hard for half a month, she's stingy to death."

"Then your dad gave you one mao, and you didn't take it either!"

Knife X2

Ye Chenghai's heart felt cold. "Who exactly are you standing on the side of!"

"Of course I'm standing on your side. Your dad and mom are too immoral to only give one mao, but you could have taken his one mao first and then protested. Look, isn't this losing another one mao? They all have it, and you don't have it again! Blood loss of one mao!"

Knife X3

"Third Uncle, I feel like you think I'm not pitiful enough, and you deliberately brought me out, wanting me to cry a few times for you to hear."

"How can you think of me as so bad? I'm your Third Uncle, and a blood relative."

"Then you don't help me intercept!" Ye Chenghai complained with psychological imbalance.

"That won't do. The goods at your dad and mom's place are shared by us. If I were to intercept, if they knew, they would think I'm immoral and privately embezzled."

"Then you still helped Ah Yuan intercept!"

"Ah Yuan's side is different. He picked it up himself, or you can understand it as me taking care of their family and deliberately taking him along. Originally, the goods on my two boats were also my own private property, not combined with others, so I'm not afraid of misunderstandings."

Ye Yaodong explained to him seriously, fearing that this child would have a psychological imbalance, feeling that he deliberately favored Ah Yuan and didn't care about him.

Ye Chenghai also understood and realized, but was still angry. "Don't call me to do this work next year. Whoever loves to go, let them go. I don't want to do it. Going to school every day is so comfortable, no need to get up early and work outside all day, basking in the sun all day. I'm as black as charcoal."

"You still care about whether you're black or not? Running around outside all day in the middle of summer is fine, but asking you to work for a day is not?"

"Playing and working are definitely different. My mom didn't say to see that I'm hard-working and reward me, I'm so angry."

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. You have to think that you are the eldest in the family, the eldest brother. Helping the family do some work is also as it should be."

"But Ah Yuan has it, and I don't. He is also the eldest in the family."

Alright, it turns out the knot is here. Everything is afraid of comparison.

Seeing Ah Yuan intercept a sum of money every day, while he had nothing, it's no wonder he had a psychological imbalance. If Ah Yuan was also bitterly helping the family work and had nothing, Ahai probably wouldn't be so depressed.

"Alright, don't be sad anymore. Whatever you want, Third Uncle will buy it for you!"

Ye Chenghai was instantly happy. He stopped walking and looked at him with expectation. "Really? Third Uncle, you really will buy me anything?"

"That also requires me to be able to do it. Stars and moons won't do, and I can't buy a Liberation truck either."

"I don't want stars and moons, and I don't want to drive a Liberation truck. I want a soccer ball!"

"Ah? You want a soccer ball too!"

Ye Yaodong was surprised. The two of them actually wanted the same thing, both wanted a soccer ball!

Ye Chenghai also said excitedly, "Did Ah Yuan also tell you he wants a soccer ball?"

"Yes, in the afternoon, I wanted to give him the money he earned, and he told me to keep it with me and let me buy him a soccer ball."

"We heard it together listening to the radio, saying we are first-class in Asia. Then it was agreed, when we earn money, we'll each buy a soccer ball. I asked my mom for money when I ate dinner, I wanted to use my own wages to buy one, but I was scolded by her."

"Alright, what a big deal? Whenever I go to the city, I'll buy two by the way. You and Ah Yuan each have one, perfectly solved! Just consider it rewarding you for your hard work during this period. Calculated, you are also working for me."

He excitedly clenched his fists. "It still has to be Third Uncle, you are the best. Whatever you tell me to do in the future, I'll do it."

"I won't tell you to do anything, just study hard."

"Alright~ Wahahaha~ I'm going to have a soccer ball too, I'm going to have a soccer ball too~"

Ye Chenghai was shouting excitedly. It was also fortunate that they hadn't walked far, just by the beach, and there were no people nearby.

"Don't shout anymore, hide it a bit, otherwise the other few will all be clamoring for me to buy it for them. One is enough for you, one soccer ball is enough for all of you to play together. When the time comes, take it to the beach to kick."

"Okay, I won't say it, I won't tell anyone."

"Mm, happy now? Not making a scene, not having a stinky face anymore?"

"Mm."

He smiled happily, but suddenly he slapped his thigh again. "Damn! If I had known, I would have taken that one mao from my dad. I could still go buy things to eat. Lost another one mao, and let my dad and mom save another one mao. No, I have to go get it back."

"Your dad was about to hit you just now."

"I'm going to find Great-Grandma to complain!"

Ye Yaodong smiled unexpectedly and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "This works, cry a bit more miserably, let your Great-Grandma go scold your dad."

Ye Chenghai beamed with joy and ran back to complain triumphantly.

He also followed slowly behind.

When he walked to the door of his house, the old lady was leaning on a cane, standing at the door of the eldest room, shouting with full breath: "Ahai, this child, has worked so hard for half a month, and you don't give him some pocket money to buy things to eat. The other children all have it, only he doesn't. Is this reasonable?"

"Not only do I not have pocket money, my dad was about to hit me just now. I must have been picked up, otherwise why do they all have it, and I don't? I've worked and still have to get beaten."

"Where did he hit you? Too unreasonable. Let me see, let me see. Oh my, you've been sunburned and peeled. Look at your neck. Your dad's heart is too cruel, and he even wanted to hit you..."

"That's right, I must have been picked up from the latrine..."

"Nonsense, go, go, go, go to your Third Uncle's house, I'll get you some tea oil to rub it. Where did he hit you? My eyes are not good either, and I can't see clearly. Tell your Third Aunt to see, rub it..."

Ye Yaopeng was helpless. "I didn't hit him, rub what?"

"You didn't hit him, how could this child run over to me and cry? Usually, his skin is thick, and he's grinning even when he gets beaten. You must have hit him hard..."

"I really didn't hit..."

Ye Yaodong listened at the door for a while, couldn't help but shake his head and return to the room. Anyway, his Big Brother probably couldn't explain it clearly.

Just as he entered the room, Lin Xiuqing followed him in, holding Ye Xiaoxi.

"Look at this child for me, lest she keep being naughty, riding the dog like a horse at the door, giddy-up, giddy-up, it gives me a headache."

Ye Yaodong laughed, took the child, and put her on the bed. "Did you wash your hands?"

"Washed, wiped her hands and feet, otherwise it's dirty to death. Tonight I'll let the two aunts guard the small workshop, let my Big Brother go home to sleep. He's been tired for a day, let him have a good sleep tonight, he still has to go home to collect bayberries tomorrow."

"Mm, you just look after it yourself. Anyway, you're the boss's wife, just listen to your arrangements."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of boss's wife am I?"

"My family's boss's wife!" Ye Yaodong also took off his clothes and pants, and got on the bed shirtless.

"When will our workshop start building walls? It's not a thing to have people watching there every day. Hiring two people to watch is also a waste of money."

"Tomorrow, let Mom look for an auspicious day, then hire people. Just make a mud-brick wall, save some money. Anyway, it's not for living in. When the time comes, the house built inside will be sturdier."

"That's what I thought too. Just muddle through, make a wall, and enclose it. This way the speed can be faster. 10-plus people, if the weather is good, at most half a month it can be done, and can save some wages."

"Mm, just as the squid is almost finished drying. When the time comes, dry less dried fish, just dry it at our own door, hiss~ what are you doing!?"

Ye Yaodong was talking, but felt a pain in his chest, and then Ye Xiaoxi giggled.

He quickly covered his left chest. "Damn, my wealth hair..."

Lin Xiuqing stood on the side, wondering what he was doing. Hearing him say wealth hair, she also saw a long hair pulled by Ye Xiaoxi in her hand...

Suddenly, she didn't know what expression to make.

"There were 6 wealth hairs in total, and you pulled one out. My 'six-six-six' luck is gone."

Hearing this, the expression on Lin Xiuqing's face cracked a bit again.

Ye Xiaoxi laughed until drool flowed down. After a silly laugh, she threw away the hair in her hand and intended to reach out to pull the hair on the other side of his chest.

Ye Yaodong quickly covered his chest with both hands to protect it. "Quick, help me get the little vest, this guy will sneak attack."

Lin Xiuqing looked at him with disdain, shook her head, got the vest for him, and let him put it on.

"It's over, my 'six-six-six' luck, don't know how long it will take to grow back."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and coax her to sleep."

"Do you want to get my pants too?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the dense leg hair on his legs and felt a bit dangerous.

"Whatever."
