Chapter 955: Three Days Without a Beating, They'll Tear Down the Roof
The two brothers looked at Ah Guang and his son again.
"Do you want to go together?"
Father Pei shook his head. "We just strolled through the department store in the provincial capital yesterday, and we've strolled through all the urban areas. We came today just to take a turn around the market. We won't go to the department store first; you guys go."
Ah Guang also said, "We'll chat with Dongzi and the in-laws here for a while."
The two brothers looked at each other. Ye Yaohua spoke first. "Then we won't go either. We'll just chat with everyone here. Let the women stroll their own way; we won't go join the fun."
Ye Yaopeng also said, "Then none of us will go. Father Pei and Ah Guang just strolled around, do you have any thoughts?"
Everyone's eyes looked at the father and son.
Ye Fu also asked with a smile, "You guys have loose hands now, do you want to buy two and put them there? Anyway, money is just money when put there. Dongzi bought so many, so it shouldn't be wrong. The shop that the in-laws are looking at now is the big head in his hands."
"Dongzi has someone to help, we can only throw it there if we buy it."
"We can only throw it there if we buy it, hehe. My shop is now rented to Dongzi's brother-in-law, and there is a rent of five or six hundred a year, which is also very good. If it can be rented continuously, it will pay for itself in a few years."
"Big Brother's shop has been rented, and whether the business is good or bad can mostly be seen. It will be easy to rent out in the future." Ye Yaodong said, "Anyway, I feel that holding money in your hands is not as good as buying a shop or a boat."
"We can't reach places that are too far, just like the provincial capital. Although it changes every day and is so lively, it's not convenient for us. The road conditions are too poor, and the back-and-forth bumping is too severe. The county city is still okay."
"If you don't want to buy in the city, feeling that it's not convenient to come here, you can also go to the county town to take a look. How is the county town not a county town?"
"The county town is not as lively as our town." Ah Guang's first reaction was to dislike the county town.
"That's only now. After all, it's a county town, and it will definitely get better in the future."
"If you really buy in the county town, you might as well buy in the city. You guys are all setting up shops here. It looks very large and new. Although the surroundings look a bit desolate, according to what you said, it's under support. Such a large market will always be lively slowly, which is better than here."
Ye Yaodong patted the table lightly. "Right, as long as there is popularity, it will be lively. Don't look at the surroundings being a bit desolate now. As long as there are many people coming and going, the surroundings will definitely be lively. People create labor, and labor is the primary productive force."
"That's why I asked you and Father Pei to come over and take a look today. No matter what others say, it's not as real as seeing it with your own eyes. It's all in vain if you haven't seen it yourself, no matter how much people say."
Father Lin said with a smile, "Before the festival, I asked around, and then many people sent messages in the past two days saying they wanted to sell. It's just that few people came today, only three. I estimate that more people who want to sell will ask later."
"If someone comes to the door, I will call Ah Dong to tell you. You can also go back and discuss it. If you have thoughts, you can come over again. Anyway, there is no need to decide immediately."
Ye Yaodong echoed, "Right, come over and take a turn today. If there is news later, I will give you a sound."
He had five, and if a few more No. 3 and No. 4 entrances came, he wasn't very interested. He still wanted to buy a tractor.
If they wanted it, he would buy it for them first. If no one wanted it, he would receive it again. He was more interested in the surroundings of the No. 2 entrance, but unfortunately, it was slowly becoming lively now, so he estimated no one would sell it unless they were in urgent need of money.
"Then wait until we go back and talk about it. Let's go out and take another turn."
"Okay, then you go out and take another turn. Big Brother and Ye Erge come less often, so you can go and take a look together. Anyway, since you're here, sitting in the shop is also a waste of time."
He wouldn't go out. He didn't even want to stroll through this market anymore.
He hadn't even stayed in his own shop for a long time. It just happened to be sitting in the shop, drinking two sips of tea, and waiting for them to come back.
After they all went out to stroll, Ye Yaodong also hooked his father's shoulder and walked to the door, talking to him about buying a tractor.
"I said you didn't stop the car for no reason yesterday, and even ran to the tractor factory to take a look."
"Didn't I just happen to see it? I didn't have this plan before, but since I saw it, I thought, why not buy a tractor too? It saves always calling Uncle Zhou. The road fee for one trip is not cheap either."
"He is counting on you to earn money. If you buy one, he will lose more than half."
"Then I can't not buy it myself just to let him earn money. What kind of logic is this? It must be considered based on one's own needs."
"I'm just saying."
After Ye Fu finished speaking, he pondered for a while, knowing that he had earned a lot this time and had loose hands.
"It's okay for you to buy it now. Anyway, those boys you raised at home are still there. It's just right to call them to deliver goods when you buy it back."
"That's what I plan to do. This way, we have our own car, and it's convenient to go back and forth. Next year, we will have fish sauce to transport."
"When you go back, discuss it with Ah Qing. It's just right, the shop wasn't bought much today, only three were bought."
'Just'!
Fortunately, this was not heard by outsiders. Father Lin and Mother Lin were also talking and chatting in the shop.
Buying three shops at once was not considered much, which should be shocking. If this was called not much, how thick must the family foundation be?
"Hmm, discuss it with her after finishing work. Anyway, it's not urgent. It will be half a month before going to the provincial capital. There are still a lot of things at home that haven't been arranged, haven't been busy, and Big Brother and Ye Erge are thinking about building a high-rise building."
"The land in the village committee hasn't given a statement either. We've been outside these two days, coming and going in a hurry, and haven't had time to ask. The women at home are useless, this matter must be decided by men. Now your shop is also bought, this matter is temporarily coming to an end. It will probably be dark when we go back in the afternoon. Go to the village committee and ask tomorrow morning."
"I know, I've planned it. Things have to come one by one, and handled one by one."
"Building a high-rise building can be arranged by your Big Brother and Ye Erge. You have so many things to do, don't follow and do everything. Anyway, after building, the three brothers will share it equally."
"Father, do you want to move over and live with us? After building the high-rise building, I'll have plenty of room here. The upstairs can at least build three big rooms. When the children grow up, each of the three will have one room, and there will still be leftovers."
Ye Fu waved his hand. "I have to watch the old house with your mother. How can I let the house be left to rot? And there are old neighbors who have lived there for decades. We are used to it, and we don't want to move anywhere."
Ye Yaodong was not surprised. Anyway, his father and mother hadn't reached the point of being seventy or eighty and unable to walk, needing to support the old age. If they wanted to live alone in the old house, let them live alone.
"If you really don't plan to move, then when we build the high-rise building, let's repair your house by the way."
"This is okay. The wall is built with stones, which is very firm. This doesn't need to be troublesome. At most, the roof should be repaired better, and the doors and windows should be changed. Some wood is rotten, and the glass is cracked."
"Hmm, let's do it together then."
The father and son were calm and discussed things together, and chatted for a while by the way.
Ye Fu didn't urge him to go to sea, but let him wait until things were finished and rest for two days.
Ye Yaodong's heart was extremely happy and tearful. The old man finally knew how to ache for his son, and now he wouldn't open his mouth to oppose, and wouldn't scold without distinction.
They didn't wait long before everyone came back. Running back and forth to handle things was also quite time-consuming.
Those women shopping also calculated the time, and came back when it was time, so as not to be too late and have accidents when going home in the dark.
Each of them went with a basket, and when they came back, the baskets were also full, and their faces were full of joy. With loose hands, they were also more willing to buy.
Everyone was back, so they said to Father Lin, Mother Lin, Lin Xiang Hui, and Sister-in-law Lin, and then got on the tractor to go back.
On the tractor, each woman was also chattering non-stop, talking about what they saw and heard and their feelings, and what they bought, how cheap it was, and how expensive some were?
Looking at their happy and excited appearance, this trip could be considered not bringing them for nothing.
It was just that they didn't stay happy for long as usual, and then they drooped and wrapped themselves tightly, wilting and starting to be silent, until they were almost home before they had spirit.
"I don't know if those few at home behaved, or if they turned the house upside down?" Lin Xiuqing said worriedly.
"Your two are still small, not very naughty. My two sons, three days without a beating, will tear down the roof. The stick was broken, but the next day they still climbed walls and trees. I was almost angered to death. They were not at home all day today. Leaving them at home, I was worried they would dismantle the house."
"They have to go to school, how can they be at home all day? They shouldn't dismantle the house. At most, they are naughty and greedy for play."
"I'm just afraid they didn't go to school, and ran everywhere on the mountains and rivers." Sister-in-law Ye muttered.
Sister-in-law Ye's brows were already wrinkled enough to pinch a fly to death. "We're almost home, we'll know when we get home. See if they behaved. If they behaved, there will be rewards. If they didn't behave, let them eat the whip."
Ye Yaodong silently lit a candle for them in his heart. In the morning, he also told them to remember to go into the water to catch snails for him after school...
If their legs were really broken, he was the culprit.
After arriving home, it really lived up to their expectations. The house was turned over as if it had been robbed. The chairs were knocked over, the white sugar in the cupboard was turned out and eaten without being put away, and the red date pits and longan shells were spit all over the floor.
The doors of the house were wide open, and the chickens, ducks, and geese were running around in the house. The ground was full of chicken droppings, duck droppings, and goose droppings, making Sister-in-law Ye and Sister-in-law Ye's temples ache.
As a result, the shadows of the few children were not seen, and I don't know where they died, or if they hadn't come back yet.
They were so angry that they shouted a few times at the door, but there was no response.
The old lady listened to their scolding, and hurriedly walked into their room. She was also startled.
"Aiyo, before I went to cook, I specifically looked at the few children at the door. When did they run away without closing the door? These chickens and ducks ran into your house, hurry up and drive them out..."
"When they come back later, they will have to peel my skin. They are not at home, and they don't know how to close the door when they go out."
"I don't know where they died. It's going to be dark, and I haven't seen their shadows. The ground is full of chicken droppings, my god... there are chicken droppings on the stove. When they come back, I'll beat them to death..."
The two sisters-in-law stood on tiptoe while scolding and walked into the house, driving the chickens shrinking under the table, and the ones shrinking under the bed in the room. They had chickens and ducks from all three households.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the master bedroom was locked there, and the iron lock was still hanging, and they weren't bold enough to dare to split the lock and run in.
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but rejoice. With the old lady watching there, the house was still neat and tidy as usual.
She looked at her own chickens, ducks, and geese being driven out, and said embarrassedly, "Later, sprinkle a handful of plant ash, sweep it, and then brush it with water, and it will be fine."
"I'm going to be angered to death by them. If I don't watch them for a day, the house becomes a chicken nest and animal nest..."
"You big men, if you're idle, hurry up and find them back, let me beat them hard, and give them a long memory."
Lin Xiuqing hurriedly drove her own chickens and ducks back to the courtyard, letting them return to the cage.
Ye Yaodong held Ye Xiaoxi and looked around twice, then pulled the old lady to go home first.
Just now, he sent Ah Guang and Father Pei back first, and by the way, picked up his daughter.
Then his father and mother also followed and got off the car first, planning to walk a few steps back, take a bath, and then come over to eat.
However, when he entered the courtyard, he saw a row of water buckets placed on the corridor at his door, which was quite conspicuous.
"Eh? Caught by those children? Such big hairy crabs, and two buckets! What is this? This is river shrimp? There is such a big bucket of river shrimp too!"
The old lady pointed to the corner near the wall. "The three buckets inside are snails. How long will you have to eat so many? You don't use the good ones, but always order them to do this. Isn't this just poking their hearts? One is more active than the other."
"They came back from school earlier, all soaking wet, with water all over their heads. I told them to take a bath and change clothes, and they agreed well. As a result, I just went back to the room, and now I don't see their shadows again."
Ye Yaodong pinched the long whiskers of a river shrimp and gestured in his palm. It wasn't small either. The few were quite capable, catching so many at once.
"Could it be that they ran to the river to catch these again?"
"Hard to say..." Lin Xiuqing also couldn't help but have a headache. There were also her two sons inside.
"You put Xiao Jiu down, go find the few of them, and hurry up and find them back. It's going to be dark, and they are still soaking in the water. It's cool in the morning and evening now. If they catch a cold, it will be troublesome."
"I'll ride a bike to look around the river."
As soon as Ye Xiaoxi was put on the ground, she immediately reached her hand into the bucket, and Lin Xiuqing hurriedly slapped her hand twice.
"Not allowed to play with water!"
Ye Xiaoxi shrank her hand, looked up with wide eyes at her, then lifted her feet and dragged the doll to the house, shouting while running: "Dad, Dad..."
Ye Yaodong had just entered the house and hurriedly turned his head.
Only to see her holding her soaking wet hands high to show him, and then her mouth was flat, her face full of grievance.
"Got beaten, right? Not allowed to play with water, naughty means getting beaten."
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but shake her head behind her. "She knows how to complain when she's so small, what will it be like when she grows up?"
Ye Xiaoxi had no one to coax her, so she retracted her tears, pouted, hummed a few times, grabbed the doll's hair, and dragged it out.
"Drama queen, tears come when she says they come, and go when she says they go."
"I'll see what dishes haven't been cooked yet, you go find the two sons, your daughter has the old lady watching."
"Hmm."
After Ye Xiaoxi dragged the doll out, she continued to squat in front of the few water buckets, watching eagerly.
Whenever she wanted to reach out, she would aim at the old lady with her little eyes.
The old lady sat on the recliner, holding a cattail fan, happily fanning while watching her. Seeing a mosquito wanting to bite her, she gently took the cattail fan and patted it twice.
She watched the old lady not paying attention, reached her hand into the water, and then immediately took it out...
With a splash, the old lady heard it, smiled, and patted her twice again.
"Go get a branch to poke and play, don't reach out, crabs will bite people."
She nodded happily and immediately, didn't want the doll anymore, threw it aside, and immediately ran to the firewood pile in the house to find a branch.
The old lady also went to the courtyard and plucked a small handful of rice straw, twisted two stalks into a thin and long twist in her hand, and then connected them into a long strip.
She grabbed a hairy crab from the water bucket, also took a piece of rice straw, tied the two big pincers first, and then used the thin and long twist to tie the crab slightly.
After Ye Xiaoxi brought out a branch, she tied the ready-made twist rope to the branch and hung it up for her to play.
Her eyes were bright with excitement, and she shouted, "Crab... crab..."
The branch in her hand didn't stop swinging, and the crab hanging on the rope also followed her shaking, sometimes on the ground, sometimes suspended in the air, *clanging*.
After playing happily for a while, she carried the crab and ran into the house to find her mother to offer treasure.
"Mom... Mom... Grandma... crab..."
After the old lady watched her run into the house, she continued to catch hairy crabs. She prepared to tie all the big legs of the hairy crabs, so as not to let the child be naughty and really be bitten by the big legs.
After she came out, the old lady gave her another long rope, and the other end was tied with a crab crawling on the ground. She couldn't stop grinning, and drool dripped down.
"Crab~"
She held one in her left hand and led one in her right, running around in the courtyard happily like a flower butterfly.
But she was small, and hadn't walked steadily yet. After running for a while, she fell down directly.
However, she didn't want anyone to help her, climbed up by herself, patted her hands, her mouth was flat with pain, tears hung on the corners of her eyes, but she wiped them off with the back of her hand, pouted, blew on her palms twice, and picked up her two crabs again.
The old lady saw her fall, hurriedly went over to check, and was relieved that there was no broken skin. It was just that her palms and two knees were a bit red, so she hurriedly went into the house to get tea oil and wiped it for her.
Seeing her a bit listless and unhappy, the old lady continued to tie a shrimp for her, tied it to the branch in her hand, and hung it together with the crab.
Ye Xiaoxi was happy again.
"Shrimp... big shrimp... so many~"
Lin Xiuqing stood by the stove, looked at the door, saw her crying and laughing, and didn't care about her. Children grow fast when they fall.
The old lady had already cooked the rice, and the steamed minced meat with egg and steamed fish were steamed at the same time as the rice. She only needed to stir-fry two green vegetables and cook a soup.
When a group of children came back, her rice and dishes were also out of the pot. At the same time, bursts of scolding and crying and shouting sounded at the door next door.
"Third Uncle told me to go into the water to catch snails..."
"It's Third Uncle..."
"Third Uncle shouted in the morning that we should catch snails for him..."
"Ah, don't hit, don't hit... we were just listening to Third Uncle..."
Ye Yaodong touched his nose, feeling quite embarrassed, and hurriedly carried his two soaking wet sons home, pretending he knew nothing.
But the movement next door couldn't stop. The two families were so close that every little disturbance reached their ears, not to mention that they were scolding loudly at this time.
"Your Third Uncle told you to eat shit, will you eat it?"
"Third Uncle told me to do it, so I did it."
"Then go eat shit for me."
"He didn't tell me to eat shit."
Sister-in-law Ye's lungs were about to explode. "Each one is a debt collector. What's the use of giving birth to you? You only know how to anger me... beat you two coffin sons to death..."
"Mom, I went to cut pig grass, we fed the pigs in the afternoon and evening... it has nothing to do with us..." Ye Jingjing also jumped up and down at the door.
"Still has nothing to do with you? You went out without closing the door, the house is like being robbed, the broom fell and you didn't help it up, the ground is full of chicken droppings and duck droppings..."
"Do you think you won't be beaten if you hold a handful of pig grass and pretend? Look at you, is there any dry place on your body? Still have the face to say it has nothing to do with you... not one is well-behaved..."
Sister-in-law Ye also scolded unyieldingly: "Each one's skin is itchy. How was it explained before leaving? Tell you to watch the house, watch the house, is this how you watch it? Look at your feet, they are all wrinkled. Did you not go to school today?"
"No, no, not, not, we went to school, we went to school..."
"Really? I think you didn't go..."
"Yes..."
The old lady's voice also sounded at the door. "Don't hit, don't hit first, let them take a bath and change clothes first. They are all wet, and they will catch a cold later."
"Deserve it, is there any dry place on their whole body? Still catching snails, can you catch snails like this?"
"Yes, we also caught hairy crabs, accidentally slipped, fell into the water and it became like this. Ajiang was very mean and splashed water on me, so we fought in the water... no... we just caught hairy crabs and caught snails..."
Sister-in-law Ye hit Ye Cheng-hai's calf with a whip, and a red mark appeared directly.
"Fought in the water, right? Really owe a beating..."
"Obviously he messed with me first..."
"What is everyone, everyone. If you don't go into the water, can others mess with you?"
"Third Uncle told me to catch snails for him."
"Your Third Uncle didn't tell you to catch several buckets for him either. It's just greedy for play, deserve a beating." After the old lady finished speaking, she also lifted her feet and returned to her courtyard, ignoring them, deserve to be beaten.
When Ye Fu and Mother Ye came over, they originally wanted to stop it, but after knowing the cause and effect, they also said "deserve it" and ignored them.
Ye Cheng-hu and Ye Cheng-yang didn't get beaten, but they were also honestly shrinking like quails. As soon as they came back, they didn't say a word, trying to minimize their presence.
Lin Xiuqing didn't punish them, and they were already standing against the wall actively.
She glanced at them sideways. "Get out and take a bath, then go stand there."
The two hurriedly took off their clothes, and the two naked little yellow chickens hurriedly ran to the back door to take a bath. After washing, they went to the corner to stand naked, extremely active and honest, just to avoid being beaten.
Ye Xiaoxi was extremely curious, holding two crabs, walking back and forth in front of the two brothers.
Watching them nervous to death, both hands tightly covered their crotches, fearing she would put the hairy crabs on them.
"Shameful face!"
"Brother... shameful face~"
"Go away!"
"Don't~"
Ye Xiaoxi was also very bad, carrying the crabs in front of them and walking back and forth, shouting "shameful face" non-stop.
The two little boys were also said to be red-faced by her, ashamed, and then angry from embarrassment.
"Go away, or I'll beat you later."
"Bite you!"
She lifted the crabs and carried them in front of them, and the two moved apart left and right instantly.
Ye Xiaoxi seemed to have discovered a new continent, happily taking the crabs to scare them. "Bite you, bite you~"
Instantly, the three of them were running around the house and screaming.
Ye Yaodong was sitting in his seat, stealing food first, and didn't care about them. Anyway, there was a mother there.
"All stand honestly."
Lin Xiuqing frowned and scolded, and then carried Ye Xiaoxi into his arms.
Ye Yaodong also fed Ye Xiaoxi two mouthfuls by the way.
Lin Xiuqing glared at him fiercely. The culprit was him, and he didn't care about anything.
"Did you go to school today?"
"Yes, we all honestly went to school." The two stood honestly in the corner again.
"Really?"
"Really, because Brother Ah Hai and the others were afraid that if they didn't go to school, there would be no small picture books and no dolls, so we were all very honest."
"Then why are you soaking wet from head to toe?"
"Because Brother Ah Hai and Brother Ajiang fought in the water, and then we followed and splashed water." Ye Cheng-hu told everything he knew.
"How many clothes did you change today?"
Ye Cheng-hu looked at Ye Cheng-yang. Ye Cheng-yang closed his mouth tightly and looked forward, covering his little penis in front with both hands, without saying a word.
He had no choice but to whisper: "Three... three pieces."
"So there are no clothes to wear, so you can only stand naked in the corner?"
Ye Cheng-hu also learned from Ye Cheng-yang, pursed his mouth tightly, looked forward, and didn't say a word.
If he had known, he wouldn't have answered just now.
Lin Xiuqing just said, the two usually wear at least a pair of boxer shorts after taking a bath, but today they stood there naked and let Ye Xiaoxi scare them.
The old lady hurriedly smoothed things over. "Eat first, eat first, let them stand. You haven't been at home all day, you must not have eaten well outside. Don't be hungry. Since everyone is here, hurry up and eat first."
Ye Xiaoxi's cheeks were bulging, and she didn't forget to turn her head to provoke, stretching her index finger and drawing twice on her face, saying vaguely "shameful".
"You eat your food, otherwise you will have to go to the corner to stand later."
She became honest instantly, and hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.
"You are both clever and bad, who are you like?"
"Like me, a daughter is like her father. Isn't this obvious? Looks like me, temper like me, that clever energy is also like me, everywhere is like me."
"Only know how to stick gold on your own face."
"What I said is the truth, the two standing in the corner are like you."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him. ===== CHAPTER 956 =====
