"Then you can eat it yourself. See if A Guang is leaving tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Give him 6 cans to take away. Your parents, elder brother and sister-in-law will each give you two cans. A Guang himself will also get two cans, and the others will not be divided.
Your second brother and the others are far away, so they won’t give it away. Let’s keep it for ourselves.”
"good."
Lin Xiuqing took out the canned fish and fiddled with it under the moonlight, looking at it, "You didn't notice anything different? Will this canned fish be delicious?"
"It will be delicious and fragrant. The fish inside has been fried even to the bones, so you can chew it in. There is also a lot of tempeh, which can be mixed with rice directly."
"Isn't there a lot of oil and water?"
"Yes, it's just that there's a lot of oil and water, so it's expensive."
"I'll try it tomorrow. What's the difference between this canned fish and caviar?"
"It's a big difference. It's dark now and it's too late. I'll tell you tomorrow. You may not be able to find it if you search now, and you can't even see it."
Ye Yaodong returned to the table and ate the remaining two hot spring eggs before climbing into bed.
Lin Xiuqing also put the canned fish back and then went to bed, only to see him throwing herself on the child and kissing her non-stop.
"Don't mess with her. I won't coax her if she wakes up later."
"I coax."
"You're so coaxing. I wake up the child every day and fall asleep on my own. Come back to your place and go to sleep."
Ye Yaodong was pulled, and the child frowned and twisted his body to resist, so he had to return to his position and let Ah Qing lie down in the middle.
"What happened in the village during my absence these days?"
"Yes, Wang Laoqi in the village has been saving dried fish for who knows how long. A few days ago, he pushed a cart of dried fish that was taller than a person and said that he would follow your example and send it to the market to sell. Slowly
Make a lot of money.”
"But I couldn't bear to spend money to buy a tractor, so I walked. I heard that I walked for a day and a night to get to the city. I was lucky and it was quite safe when I went there. Then I hawked it along the street and said it was selling well at the farmer's market.
It was sold out in three or four days."
"But before they could be happy, they were robbed while sleeping at the entrance of the station. We originally planned to wait at the entrance of the station to wait for the first train to come back at dawn."
Idiot!
"Idiot, the station is the most chaotic outside right now. How dare you sleep at the door of the station after making money? You don't know how to stay in a guest house for one night? You deserve to be robbed."
"It was said that the morning market had just sold out in the early morning, and the station had not opened yet. I thought it would be dawn in an hour or two, so I sat at the door and waited. I stayed in a guest house those few nights."
It doesn't matter. I might have been targeted when I was selling goods at the farmer's market for a few days. These places are the most chaotic before and after New Year's Eve. Usually, the station is already a mixed place.
He was willing to do so at the time, and he always rode a tractor. Occasionally, he would run out of goods and go directly to the station to get on the truck as soon as possible.
Even so, a few pieces of money were stolen from his pocket.
"Then what? Didn't they go there with a cart? If we came back by car, the cart couldn't get on the bus."
"He went to sell it with his two sons, and then wanted the two sons to come back by car with the money. He pushed the cart slowly. As a result, the three of them were robbed at the entrance of the station before dawn.
He was beaten up and had to push the trolley back slowly."
"It is said that after walking for a day and a night, the three people's faces were swollen like pig heads when they came back. They all collapsed in front of their homes before dawn. It was the manure pickers in the village who passed by early in the morning and saw them, so they woke them up and helped them.
go back."
"I heard that even the cotton-padded jackets were stripped off. The three of them were so cold that they almost died for a long time. The villagers all panicked and said that it was lucky that they didn't go that far. If you want to make money, you have to have money.
That’s the life that will do.”
"However, I heard that from other villages, last year there were people carrying loaders to other towns one after another, or selling their own dried fish in other counties, and they made a little profit."
"Everyone's family doesn't have a bigger boat, so they all rely on small wooden boats to catch fish. The quantity is not that big. They slowly save it for a long time before going out to sell it with a load."
Ye Yaodong responded softly, but also felt a little confused.
"Most people are not willing to spend money to buy these things that are easy for them. They only think about saving a little more and selling them all at once. Your husband and I are smart people, and I don't want to let my children catch the wolf."
"Yes, yes, go to sleep. I have been tired for a few days. I will tell you when I get up tomorrow."
After drifting on the boat for a week, I never had a good night's sleep. Even if I did fall asleep, it was only intermittently, and the roar of the machine in my ears never stopped.
At this time, lying on the soft bed at home, on the fragrant pillow, he was already drowsy, half asleep and listening to her story, forgetting that he had not paid the public food for several days.
Lin Xiuqing had just finished speaking when the next second she heard a snoring sound in her ears. She turned her head to look at him and pulled the quilt up to cover his neck.
He had no dreams all night until dawn. When he woke up, he continued to wrap his head in the quilt. It was so soft that there was no fishy smell, and it smelled full of sunshine. He couldn't bear to get up.
It was only at this moment that a little butt moved up and down inside the quilt, pulling the quilt, and he realized that there was someone else under the quilt.
With his eyes closed, he touched the quilt, but his hands were all wet.
"Fuck, did you wet the bed?"
Ye Xiaoxi laughed and made a big bulge in the quilt. Ye Yaodong opened the quilt and saw her sitting inside.
"You idiot, take off your pants quickly."
"Cold~ don't~"
She lay down again, and pulled the quilt back at the opening of the quilt he had opened, closing the opening.
Ye Yaodong had no choice but to reach under the quilt to grab her and take off her pants. "Did you get drunk last night, so you couldn't get up today, and then you wet the bed?"
Otherwise, she usually wakes up very early, and when he wakes up, there will be no one in the bed.
"Where did you pee? You just bought a new bed a few days ago and you peed on it... Ah Qing~ Ah Qing~ Your daughter wet the bed~"
Lin Xiuqing heard the shouting inside the room and quickly opened the door and came in.
"Why are you calling like that? How old are you? You can't get up by yourself when you wake up. Are you still waiting for me to come in and put on your clothes and pants? When your daughter wakes up, just put her clothes and pants on.
, I just don’t have time, I have to go to the workshop.”
"She wets the bed. Get her some clothes and pants. I don't know where you put them."
"Wetting the bed again? No wonder you yelled 'your daughter, your daughter', the one who wets the bed is my daughter, not your daughter." After Lin Xiuqing complained, she quickly went to get him some clothes.
"This stinky girl has eaten so well during the Chinese New Year that she wets the bed every three days."
"When did you wet the bed?"
"The past few days when you were away were just like the competition between Pei Yu and Pei Yu. Today you pee and I will pee tomorrow. The two of them took turns wetting the bed, and they never stopped for a day. I washed and dried their quilts all day long, and it was fine.
I'm looking for something to do."
"I just said why the quilt smells like sunshine."
"Then you don't smell urine?"
"Ahem, no, didn't you wash it? Of course it smells like sunshine."
"Fortunately, I had fabrics at home, so I made a temporary quilt cover. Fortunately, the plastic film on the bed was not removed, otherwise the new bed they just bought would have yellow stains everywhere."
"Let Aguang pay for my quilt tomorrow instead."
Lin Xiuqing turned around, threw her clothes and pants on the bed, and said angrily: "You're so sorry. The damn girl came over to change clothes for me, and she's still wrapped in it and can't come out..."
"Don't hit!"
"come out!"
"Don't hit!"
"Still stubborn there. If you don't come out again, I will get a whip."
Ye Xiaoxi opened the quilt, stretched out his head, then tightened the quilt, and stared at Lin Xiuqing, "You can't hit me!"
Lin Xiuqing angrily climbed up, pulled the person out from under the covers, and slapped her butt twice hard.
Ye Xiaoxi jumped up and down on the bed holding her bare buttocks, "It hurts~ It's cold~"
"It's too cold to come over and put on some clothes."
"Can't fight!"
She didn't want to hit her at first, but the more she talked, the more she wanted to hit her. After she was caught, she was hit twice.
Ye Yaodong felt a little distressed when he saw that his daughter's buttocks were all red and there were fingerprints on her buttocks.
"Why did you hit me so hard? Look at the red finger marks on your butt."
"Then you dress her."
As she spoke, she threw the clothes to him, and she hurried out to do some work.
Ye Yaodong watched her hurriedly go out again, so he had to take the small clothes on the bed and said, "Come here, the mother who beat you is gone. If your father doesn't beat you, come here and I will dress you."
Ye Xiaoxi jumped over to it, hugged his neck and took a sip, then shrank back into the bed, making it difficult to fish it out.
The father and daughter played catch under the quilt on the bed. They played for a long time, laughing and laughing, and then they put her clothes back on.
He himself shivered and got out of bed to put on his clothes and pants, and then squatted there to put on her socks and shoes.
"I serve you like an ancestor. I don't know if I will be able to enjoy this blessing when I am old."
Ye Xiaoxi giggled and kicked her feet, but she didn't cooperate.
Ye Yaodong slapped his little foot twice, which kicked him in the face, and then grabbed her foot and stabbed it on Beard Raza's face. She laughed even louder and kept curling up her foot.
"Hahaha, it's itchy~ It's hurting daddy~"
"Be good and don't move around. Once you put on your socks and shoes, you can run on the ground."
"Where's my sister?"
"I took her home, and I'll be back with you in the evening."
"oh."
"Okay, let's go, wash your face and eat."
The older one and the younger one held hands and walked outside.
The old lady sat in front of the stove, holding the tongs to pull the ashes in the stove. She looked at them and said with a smile: "Get up, I have been listening to you guys playing around in the house. Eat quickly, the porridge is warm in the pot."
.”
"good."
Ye Yaodong washed the child's face, then pulled a few hairs on her head, "How do I tie it up?"
Ye Xiaoxi shook her head to avoid his grasp, "Don't tie her up."
"Forget it, just wear it like this and act like a fool."
After saying that, he turned to look at the old lady and asked, "The workshop started working early in the morning?"
"We have started working early in the morning. As soon as the sun shines, everyone comes to work. Now that the sun has come out, it has become a little warmer. After dinner, we will go out to see."
"Um."
Ye Yaodong looked at the dishes on the table and saw that there was no canned fish, so he went to the house to get another can and opened it.
"What is this? It's black." The old lady stretched her head, and her index finger almost poked into the can.
"Canned fish." He explained again patiently.
"If you don't want to eat fresh food, why don't you eat this?"
"If you don't want to eat it fresh, do you want to eat it pickled? Do you want it to be salty? Do you want it to be dried? Don't be verbose. Each has its own flavor. It's perfect for rice."
"Okay, okay, then you eat, then you eat." The old lady didn't hesitate.
While the two of them were talking, Ye Xiaoxi had already scooped up a bowl of porridge to the end. There was no need for anyone to feed him or mix it with him, he could just eat it and swallow it. His good appetite was admirable.
When Ye Yaodong lowered his head to eat, he saw that she had finished eating. He leaned down on the stool, slid down, and ran away.
"Eating so fast?"
"I'm in a hurry to go out and play. It's so noisy outside."
Ye Yaodong pricked up his ears and listened. There was indeed a lot of noise outside.
"Have you done the major homework? Have you signed up? Can you still have so much fun? I'll make them cry in a while."
He also finished eating quickly, and when he went out, he saw a lot of little girls playing and singing at the door.
"Malan blooms twenty-one, two-five-six, two-five-seven, two-eight-two-nine-thirty-one...three-five-six, three-five-seven, three-eight-three-nine-forty-one..."
A group of little girls stood on one foot and circled the other foot in a circle, jumping while turning. Ye Xiaoxi climbed in at some point and stood in the middle circle, clapping and singing along.
No wonder he eats so fast and runs so smoothly.
Several boys were playing cockfighting with one foot on the side, squealing wildly.
"Have you finished your homework?"
"Dad, don't make any noise!"
"Uncle Third, go away!"
"Uncle Third, you are so annoying!"
Ye Yaodong was pushed once by one person and patted twice by another one. He could only stare. Yesterday, everyone was very happy to surround him and call him uncle. Today, things have changed.
"Let's see how long you can stay happy."
He shook his head and went directly to the workshop.
Playing noisily like this is better than gathering together to set off firecrackers. It is probably the end of the New Year, all the red envelopes that should be collected have been taken away, and all the pocket money that should be spent has been spent.
Unlike those days after the New Year, the crackling at the door never stopped, and a group of country children played in many different ways.
It's just that Ye Yaodong couldn't see them being so happy, so he went to the workshop and complained.
After a while, Sister-in-law Ye and Second Sister-in-law Ye ran home in a hurry, and the roar of a lion from the east of the river could be heard in the distance.
"Do you want to sign up this afternoon? You are still playing..."
"I don't have time to worry about you all going to heaven... I have turned a deaf ear to what I said, and you are still playing here, holding your shit up to your buttocks, and don't even know how to take off your pants."
"He will go to heaven after the Chinese New Year. I haven't tightened my skin for you, so you don't know how to be afraid."
"Run, run!!!"
"It must be Uncle San!"
"It was Uncle San who did it..."
I was having dinner with friends in the evening, and they were drinking, and I was sitting typing. It was so miserable!!!!
