Chapter 825: Planting a Seed

~12 min read 2,374 words

Good things come after much difficulty; he didn't know who invented this idiom.

Ye Yaodong looked at the pattering rain outside, and the four characters "good things come after much difficulty" also popped up in his heart. It was best if good things came after much difficulty; otherwise, he would be even more depressed.

At night, he was woken up by the sound of rain that suddenly started outside, pattering, and then he had to lie back down to sleep a nap.

When he got up early in the morning, the rain hadn't stopped and was still ticking away.

Now he had to wait again. Damn it!

Can't it be smooth, with the right time, place, and people, letting him quickly fish them up directly and open them to take a look at what they are?

He felt that the pointer of luck had turned to A-Guang. This kid was now becoming more and more smooth in everything he did, and getting rich was so simple. He could pick up a 30-plus-jin large yellow croaker just by picking it up, while he was still going through twists and turns.

However, when waiting to eat, he turned his head and thought, maybe it was holding back a big move. The harder it was to get, the more heavyweight it might be.

Thinking this way, he was happy again. Anyway, sooner or later they would be his. Being a few days late, what did it matter?

Ye Mu saw him with a stinky face for a while and then beaming with joy for a while. The expressions on his face changed back and forth during a meal, and she couldn't help but complain.

"What are you thinking about? Just like a child's face, cloudy for a while and sunny for a while."

"Ah? Nothing?" Ye Yaodong looked at his mother's eyes that were glancing back and forth, and said again, "You eat your food, why are you looking at me?"

"Looking at you growing well."

"Did you just discover that you are so good at giving birth now?"

Ye Mu pursed her lips, scanned him up and down with a contemptuous look, then withdrew her eyes, too lazy to answer his words, and ate her own meal.

Always used to climbing up the nose after being given an inch.

Ye Yaodong didn't care either. Anyway, he was long used to his mother's dislike.

On a rainy day, it was only suitable to lie at home and sleep. It would be even better if it wasn't the weekend. Early in the morning, just after breakfast, a group of children all ran over to wait to watch TV, more punctual than an alarm clock.

However, it was raining outside, and they had nowhere to go. Being locked at home watching TV, not going out to play with water and be naughty, and getting dirty all over, was also not bad.

"The cherries on the mountain are ripe recently. This rain will probably make them all fall to the ground..."

Ye Chenghai's eyes lit up. The cherries his mother bought to offer to Goddess Mazu a few days ago were pink, tender, sour, and sweet, and tasted very good.

"Third Uncle, are you going to take us up the mountain to pick cherries?"

"Will it get you beaten?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid!"

"Then will it delay you from watching TV?"

This time, he hesitated?

Ye Chenghe said innocently, "Third Uncle, can you pick them back and share them with us?"

"Can you pick them back and share them with me?"

Dreaming of eating, huh?

Ye Chenghai patted Ye Chenghe's head. "Are you dreaming?"

He dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, afraid that the two of them would fight and be kicked out together.

Ye Yaodong also felt that the cherries bought back a few days ago were quite delicious. Thinking that they would all fall to the ground after the heavy rain at night, he didn't know if there would be any left after it cleared up.

Now there are still people planting this kind of pink, small one, only the size of a fingernail. Later, everyone will advocate cherries.

He actually felt that cherries didn't taste very good either, just more meat, but the taste was not as good as this local pink small cherry, sour, sweet, and with a cherry flavor.

However, the ones just after the rain shouldn't taste good. When it's sunny, he can ask Lin Xiuqing to buy some for him to take on the boat to eat.

Who wants to pick them? He's not a child.

With nothing to do, he can take them to pick for fun when it's sunny.

However, he didn't go to pick them. After lunch, when the rain stopped, A-Guang sent a basket over.

"Eh? Where did you get this? And you sent such a big basket! That's right, you just made a windfall a few days ago. It's only right to be filial to your brother-in-law."

"Last year, Huimei was pregnant and said she wanted to eat cherries. That was just after the New Year. Where could I find them for her? If I planted small saplings, how could they grow so fast? I had to move two half-grown saplings from someone else's place."

"I didn't expect them to bear fruit last year, but they bore fruit this year. The rain at night made them all fall to the ground. I went to pick a basket early in the morning. You decide what to do, and share some with Big Brother and Second Brother's side."

Ye Yaodong weighed it. "No need to share. The mouths of both families are almost all at my house. This basket is probably only enough for them to make in one day."

"Mm, you decide."

"By the way, when are you going to the border defense station again?"

"It's a bit embarrassing to always go over. People aren't setting up stalls to sell things. You can only go over to send gifts or when you have something to do, and incidentally ask. Going directly to the door to buy things is not very good. Why? Do you want to buy something?"

"Hehe, I also want to buy a TV... It's too expensive in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it's not certain you can buy it. I heard you have to queue up."

He almost said let him find Lin Laoliu.

"That's what I said. It's expensive in the supply and marketing cooperative. Lin Laoliu bought one for 450. I heard you only bought it for 300. He was so angry that he stomped his feet and kept scolding people for being black-hearted."

"Next time, let's see. If I really go, I'll call you guys together."

"Alright."

A-Guang's trip here also reminded him that he had to go to the County Maritime Bureau to send something to Director Chen; otherwise, it would be too ignorant if it dragged on for too long.

,

It just so happened that he could also incidentally go to the shipyard to see if his boat had started to be built.

Recently, things have been one after another. As soon as the boat was in hand, he immediately rushed to the fishing season. As soon as the fishing season ended, there was the Mazu patrol, and then his shoulders hurt for a few days. As soon as he rested well and went out to sea, he discovered boxes on the seabed again.

Busy non-stop, and it's not easy to go out on rainy days. After it clears up, after fishing up those boxes, he will rest for a day and go to the county first.

He can also take advantage of the sunny day to go into the water to see if he can find some abalone, sea cucumber, lobster, etc., and send them over together, which is also decent.

Just after sending A-Guang away, he originally wanted to call A-Qing to take the cherries to wash, but looking at the pile in front of the TV who were obsessed, eyes not blinking at all, he had to go himself.

After washing them, they all scrambled to grab a big handful, and asked where they came from?

It turns out A-Guang came over just now, and not a single person saw him?

"Third Uncle, did you go to the mountain to pick them just now?"

"Are you dreaming?"

"Then where did they come from?"

"Your brother-in-law is really pitiful. Such a big living person, and not a single person saw him."

Lin Xiuqing was also stunned. "He came over just now? Oh... the TV series just now was too good to watch, and everyone was fascinated."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. Which day was she not fascinated?

Ever since it was bought back, she was the one who watched it the most fiercely.

As long as it was time for her to cook and do things, she would turn off the TV and not allow others to watch, calling it too hot and needing to rest for a while. And when she was busy, it just happened that the TV had rested enough, and she would turn it on again!

Properly double-standard!

How loud she opposed it at that time, how hard she slapped her face now!

"Eat. It's not someone else. He came over to send cherries and left after saying two words."

"Then should we take some to the neighbors? This basket is so many..."

Ye Yaodong pointed to the pile of radishes in front of him. "The neighbors' mouths are all here. What are you sending?"

Ye Chenghe also shouted, "No need to send. We'll eat here."

"Don't your father and mother need to eat?"

"No need, we'll eat for them."

Lin Xiuqing smiled and shook her head, letting them be.

Ye Yaodong also grabbed a big handful, stuffed it into his mouth, and then like a pea shooter, spat out a seed after a while.

Although it fell because of the rain, it had been sunny for the past few days, and it was still quite delicious.

"Father, let's plant cherries too? Just plant these seeds?"

Ye Chengyang held a handful of seeds and couldn't bear to throw them away. They had all spat them all over the floor.

"Plant them yourself if you want. I don't know how."

"Then alright, I'll take them to the back door to plant later!"

"I want to too, I want to plant too!"

"I'll plant too!"

One by one, they suddenly became energetic and shouted that they wanted to plant too. They had just spat seeds all over the floor, and now they were picking them up one by one again.

Ye Xiaoxi suddenly walked to Ye Yaodong's side, then pulled his hand and turned his palm over.

"What are you doing? Want to give cherries to Father to eat?"

Just as he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxi spat a mouthful of water into his palm...

The bitten cherry mixed with cherry seeds, and also mixed with saliva, was lying in his palm...

"Plant, plant~"

He was happy too early...

"Do you know what everyone is saying?"

She tilted her head and looked blankly.

Ye Yaodong patted her head, not disgusted, picked out the seeds, threw the pulp directly to the ground, wiped his palm with a rag, and walked toward the back door.

But after a while, he came into the house again, dug a shovel of plant ash from the small ditch under the stove, and went out again. He mixed the plant ash with the moist soil, and then buried the cherry seed.

At least it was given by his daughter, and she asked him to plant it. Whether it can sprout next depends on heaven's will!

If this can be planted, it will be something to be proud of when the child grows up.

The other children were watching TV and eating cherries, and didn't know what he was doing going in and out, and didn't count. Where would they have time? They were busy. However, they were all holding a handful of seeds intact in their palms.

I don't know how busy they will be in a while, and whether they will be beaten again.

After comfortably spending two days at home, Ye Yaodong saw the sunset glow that suddenly appeared on the horizon in the evening, and the little stars that appeared in the night sky.

"It's going to clear up~"

He sat alone on the rocking chair at the door, looking at the sky and saying this. After the news broadcast started at 7 o'clock, he moved into the house.

It was also fortunate that there was no cargo for these two days, and no fish were dried. They were all taken to his mother's fermentation jar to make fish sauce, so there was no need to toss.

Ye Fu sat in the house, his eyes fixed on the TV screen, listening to the weather forecast.

He didn't say it, but in fact, he was also thinking about the boxes in the sea, and wished he could get them up quickly to see what was inside. But heaven didn't fulfill his wishes, so he could only wait.

Fortunately, he only waited for two days. When the weather forecast was on at night, it directly said that tomorrow would be cloudy to sunny. The sky outside was also full of stars, and it looked like it would indeed clear up tomorrow.

"Don't oversleep at night. We have to go out to sea."

"Got it. When you go back later, incidentally go and tell Brother Asheng and the eldest cousin."

"Mm."

"I'll go tidy up the things and prepare them to put on the flatbed cart first, so I don't have to be busy when I get up at night."

Anyway, the weather forecast was finished, and the next was the serial drama, which he wasn't interested in.

Later, he would tidy up the things and go back to the room to sleep early.

"Bring a bundle of longer ropes. Don't forget."

"Yes, both boats have them." Ye Yaodong understood his father's meaning. ===== CHAPTER 826 =====
