Chapter 235 Going Home
Not long after he came back, his two brothers-in-law also came back with a group of children, bringing with them a lot of harvest.
As soon as Lin Xianghui entered the house, he immediately took out the two pearls in his pocket and showed them to his family, which made everyone open their mouths in shock.
"I was lucky. Unexpectedly, when I picked out a river mussel, I actually found two pearls. Later, Xiangyang and I picked out many more, but there were none."
He was smiling all over his face and his excitement was palpable.
Father Lin, Mother Lin and Sister-in-law Lin were overjoyed. Isn't this a good thing like pie in the sky? They really found a treasure.
Sister-in-law Lin didn't feel disappointed either. She also had a smile on her face. She also looked at the harvest in the baskets and buckets surrounded by the children behind her.
"Hey~ there are so many wild ducks? How did you catch them? These things are not easy to catch. Who caught them all? Your brother-in-law?"
Lin Guangyuan said excitedly: "My uncle taught us how to catch two at the beginning, and we caught them ourselves after that."
"It's so awesome. How many can we catch?"
"Eight."
"Mom, let's kill the duck and stew it tonight, shall we?"
"I want fried food, I want fried food!"
"I want to eat stew, I want to drink soup..."
"I want to eat duck fried with dried radish slices..."
A group of half-grown children, everyone has different opinions and is noisy.
Mother Lin had a headache and yelled quickly, "Don't make any noise. I'll stew one and fry one tonight."
Only then did they have nothing to say, and everyone was immediately satisfied.
"There are also river shrimps and more than a dozen fish. Mother, you can take care of them. Use the river clams to stew tofu soup, stir-fry a bowl of river clams, and let some children knock the snails."
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, half of the table was filled with seafood he brought, but today half of the table was filled with fresh food from the river.
River delicacies also have the flavor of river delicacies, which is different from seafood. Ye Yaodong is not picky. He thinks river delicacies are also very delicious and delicious.
He only ate one bowl of the pot of wild duck soup to replenish energy. The old turtle soup the day before had enough energy to replenish his energy. He was afraid that it would be full.
On the other hand, he thought the stir-fried bowl was more to his taste. It added a lot of old ginger to remove the smell and fried it with freshly dried radish slices. It tasted particularly chewy.
After drinking and eating, Ye Yaodong was half-drunk and helped him back to the house. In the past two days, because he had to pick oranges, he had to go up the mountain at dawn. The whole family did not dare to drink more, so they only opened it up during dinner tonight.
drink.
Several men in the family were also half drunk, but the next morning, all of them got up in high spirits.
When Ye Yaodong got up, he happened to see them pushing a cart out and quickly asked them what they were doing.
"Go harvest the sweet potatoes. It's time to harvest the sweet potatoes in the fields."
Mother Lin said quickly at the side: "You are just resting at home. It has been two or three days since you came here. You have been helping with the work there and you have never sat down to rest."
"It's okay. I don't have anything to do at home. Dad's legs and feet are inconvenient. I can do whatever I can to help."
The smile on Mother Lin's face has not stopped in the past two days, "Don't be in a hurry now, you can do the work slowly, it doesn't matter if you harvest the sweet potatoes slowly, you can just play at home..."
Playing? Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly. He was unfamiliar with the place. Where could he go to play? There were dirt roads and mud-roofed houses everywhere, pure primitive countryside, and not even a scene. He might as well go to the fields to help with some work and paint a field.
Get a good impression.
He didn't refute. After washing up and having a simple breakfast, he chatted for a few words and then went to the fields. The Lin family's land was also at the foot of the mountain. When he walked over, he saw two men wielding hoes.
The brother-in-law and his wife knew they had found it.
They were hoeing sweet potatoes. After hoeing a ridge, the two sisters-in-law went to pick them up one by one into the basket. Then they collected all the sweet potato vines and put them on the cart. These were to be taken back to feed the pigs.
When everyone saw Ye Yaodong coming, they all smiled and said hello, "Why are you here too?"
"There is nothing to do after eating, and it is also free to be idle."
This is indeed the truth. If you are just sitting around chatting awkwardly with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you might as well go out and do some work.
The two brothers and sisters-in-law of the Lin family also have a better and better impression of Ye Yaodong. They used to think that all kinds of bad things about him, including the fact that the little sister was blind, seemed to be their illusions.
After Ye Yaodong helped with the moving and lifting work for another half day, when he went back to have lunch, he also went back to the house to discuss with Lin Xiuqing that it was time to go back the next day.
They visited those who needed to be visited, and picked all the oranges that needed to be picked. There was endless work in the fields, so they were not in a hurry anyway, so they just had to work slowly.
A three or four-day stay would be enough, but it would not be good for them to live in their own home for too many days without anyone watching.
Lin Xiuqing thought the same way, "I told my mother in the morning that we would go back tomorrow. Are you tired? She said she was coming back to visit my father, but it turned out that you had to work for several days."
"Then you will compensate me?"
It's okay to do some work, but for a half-son-in-law, it would be better if he could take the opportunity to ask for a reward and make people feel sorry for him.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him angrily and patted the bed beside her, "Then sit down and I'll give you a shoulder squeeze."
"okay."
Ye Yaodong happily sat down next to her, feeling her weak and boneless hands kneading his shoulders, feeling that the pain from carrying the burden in the morning was gone.
"Comfortable ~ use a little harder ~ use a little harder ~"
"Is that so?"
"Yeah~ Yes~ That's it~ Yeah~ It's great~ Comfortable~"
Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and enjoyed her rare gentle service.
"A little further down..."
Lin Xiuqing pressed down obediently, kneading and pressing the entire back for him, which made him so happy that he closed his eyes.
As a result, one hand stopped after a while, and he wasn't even satisfied yet.
"Wife?"
"My hands are sore."
"Then let me rub it for you instead?"
Ye Yaodong had just started, and as soon as the two of them got close to each other, they heard Mother Lin calling Lin Xiuqing outside the house. She suddenly looked a little guilty and immediately stood up and walked out.
His arms were suddenly empty. He sighed regretfully and lay down directly. He put his hands on his head, raised his feet and looked at the top of the bed. This pregnancy lasted ten months, which was really difficult.
He counted it on his fingers. It seemed like only four months had passed? Or was it the fifth month? Mader didn't know how to calculate it.
Alas, there are no VCDs or short movies...
He had a lot of wild thoughts in his mind, but he didn't expect to fall asleep immediately. He didn't know when there was a little person beside him.
It wasn't until he woke up at three o'clock in the afternoon that he realized that he had used his youngest son as a pillow and slept with it behind his head. No wonder he felt quite comfortable.
My son still has some use for it.
He got up gently, covered him with a quilt, and then walked outside.
At this time, Mother Lin was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Ye Yaodong stood at the door and stretched, watching his mother-in-law take out bags and jars of things and put them on the stove, mumbling about what was in her hands, and then said that she would take it back to them.
He saw that there were a lot of bottles and cans, and said quickly: "Mom, why are you rummaging through boxes and cabinets again? You don't need to bring anything back to us. There is no shortage of food at home. Just carry a bag of grapefruit and a bag of bitter oranges."
Half a bag is enough..."
"Oh, it's a rare trip. Why don't you use it? These are all dried radish that my family can't finish. Look at the dried radish. I have a sack of dried radish at home. I won't be able to finish it until next year. And the sour bamboo shoots,
The day lily and dried lettuce were pickled in the past few months... I have so many at home that I can’t finish them all..."
Father Lin also smiled and said: "We only have vegetables in the countryside, not much good stuff. In the past two days, we will slowly harvest sweet potatoes again. When the harvest is completed, they will be cut into shreds and dried in the sun, and they will be used for cooking.
I’ll bring some sweet potato starch back to you when you celebrate Chinese New Year..."
Mother Lin also echoed, "Yes, yes, they are all grown at home. I dried them in piles and couldn't finish them all. Can you pack a sack of sweet potatoes and take them home tomorrow?"
In the past, the families were not divided and they got less. But now that the families are divided, everyone lives their own lives. Mother Lin wants them to take a share of everything back.
"Ah, no, no, no, we have already planted them at home and can harvest them. You don't need to bring them with you. You can keep them for yourself..."
Ye Yaodong waved his hands repeatedly and even wanted to bring sweet potatoes. He couldn't bear it to death?
"Bring a few more of those pumpkins. Have you finished the ones you brought back last time? There are still a bunch of them at home..."
Mother Lin said as she went to move pumpkins to the woodshed nearby.
Pumpkin is heavier...
Lin Xiuqing also said: "There are still pumpkins at home, mother, you don't have to pretend..."
"Bring a few more and eat slowly..."
The couple couldn't resist their hospitality and could only watch Mother Lin busy rummaging through things.
Early the next morning, a tractor parked in front of Lin's house. It made a clicking sound, attracting a group of neighbors. Everyone came out to watch the fun and say hello.
"Your son-in-law is going home? Why don't you call him a tractor?"
"Hey...are you asking for a tractor to be sent back again? It's a tractor when you come here, and it's a tractor when you leave. Your son-in-law's condition is so good? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how much does it cost for a trip?"
"I'm so willing to give it up..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Isn't it because my father-in-law and mother-in-law are too enthusiastic? You see, there are so many big and small bags prepared. They insist on asking us to take them back. We don't even think about it. The two of us brought them again."
How can I get it with two children? There was no push cart when we came here. The children’s legs can’t walk this long way, so why don’t we just ask for a tractor to save trouble?”
This was because he persuaded Ah Qing last night to ask her to ask for a tractor. Otherwise, how would they have gotten it? There were several sacks there, and one sack of pumpkin weighed hundreds of kilograms.
The province is the province and the flowers are the flower.
After saying this, he went to carry the things, regardless of what the people next to him said.
They are all full and full, and they like to join in whenever there is any movement from the neighbors.
The two brothers-in-law also helped to load the sacks of things that Mother Lin had packed up in advance onto the tractor. Even the wild ducks he caught the day before yesterday were put in two sacks for them to take back.
Looking back, my father-in-law's family were so enthusiastic, and Ye Yaodong felt embarrassed when he insisted on letting them take away all the big and small things. Fortunately, he brought a lot of overseas goods when he came, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
Ye Chenghu looked at his old cousins ​​and was a little reluctant to leave. Grandma's house was so fun, with people eating and playing, and he kept talking all day long.
"Next time you go to my house to play, I will take you to the beach to dig for clams."
"Okay, you can come over and play again next time."
"Well, I will definitely come back. You have to protect your bastard from being eaten, and I will also protect my bastard from being eaten by my father."
Ye Yaodong heard him nagging non-stop and directly carried him onto the tractor.
After saying a brief farewell to the Lin family, he let the tractor set off.
Chapter completed!
