Lin Xiuqing looked at his actions and asked quickly: "Where are you taking your son?"
"I didn't go anywhere, I went to help grandma pick corn."
"Pick them all back, or just a little? Can I go and help?"
Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady behind him. She was only holding a basket in her hand, "Pick a few. Didn't I tell you yesterday that you can just keep it for yourself and ask grandma not to sell it. Pick a few and come back. You
Just go about your business."
Seeing his rare industriousness, Mother Ye said in a friendly voice, "Pick more today and don't peel them off. In the evening, take the skins and boil them so that Dad and the others can take them to sea as snacks."
"Then take the sack and put it in, and bring it back with 20."
"By the way, pick some more vegetables and melons and bring them to the sea for dad and the others to eat?" Sister-in-law Ye also said.
"knew."
After the old lady took the sack, Ye Yaodong held his son and walked with her to the entrance of the village, which was in two directions from heading to the seaside.
The old lady walked slowly, so he followed her pace, slowly, and looked around. All he saw along the way were women sitting at the door weaving nets, and children running and jumping around.
Their seven children were also running down the slope next to them. The youngest son in his arms saw everyone here and shouted happily: "Brother~Sister~"
"Ah, Dad, why are you here? Where are you going?"
Ye Chenghu also saw his father and younger brother. He quickly called for someone, but without looking at his feet, he accidentally slipped and his buttocks sat on the ground and slid to his father's feet.
But he didn't cry, he just yelled a few words, then stood up and patted his butt, "Oh, it hurts so much, but luckily it's my butt."
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, it was so tough!
The old lady also stepped forward and patted his butt, "Walk slower and watch the road. Oh, there's a hole. Go back and ask your mother to patch it up for you."
"Ah, don't you want it? My mother will beat me. I want to ask grandma to patch it up for me. Dad, where are you and grandma going?"
"Go pick corn and melons!"
"Ouch~ I want to go too!"
"I also need to go!"
"We're going too!" Everyone excitedly expressed their intention to follow.
"Your buttocks are exposed. Why don't you go home and mend your pants first?"
"No, I have to pick corn and vegetables first, and I'll patch it up later when I get home." After saying that, he ran towards the entrance of the village. It didn't matter that he had a hole in his butt, and he didn't even think about covering it.
The others also screamed happily and ran forward.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall..." The old lady called from behind worriedly.
It doesn't matter whether one person is leading or a group of people are leading. Ye Yaodong said, "Don't worry about them. Just be careful not to fall."
"Dad, hurry up, hurry up, brother, run away."
Ye Yaodong patted his youngest son's butt. His words were awkward and he wanted to play with them. "Why are you so anxious? I'll catch up in a moment."
The three-thirds of land opposite the road at the entrance of the village was originally a slope overgrown with weeds, which was cultivated bit by bit when his grandfather was still there.
His grandfather was gone, so his father helped the old lady to plant the seeds. The old lady couldn't sit still. To help her plant, she herself had to go back and forth twice a day for fear of being stolen.
"Don't pick indiscriminately, don't pick the unripe ones." Ye Yaodong saw that several children were already breaking the corn and stopped them quickly.
"Oh, we know how to pick corn. Can we pick it only when the whiskers behind the tail are black? We know!" The oldest person who replied was Ye Chenghai, who is already twelve years old.
Several children walked through the corn bushes and were immediately submerged. The youngest Ye Chengyang also struggled to get down. Ye Yaodong put him down and let him play by himself. He took the sack from the old lady's hand and asked Ye Chenghai to load it.
"That's enough. Let's pick 20 roots first. Just pick 3 for each of you. Don't pick too many. Come back tomorrow morning."
"Ah, why don't you break off a few more?" Ye Chenghai looked at the two corns in his hand with some regret, and could only break off one more.
"Just pick a few a day and eat them. If you pick them all and sell them, you won't have to eat them."
"Forget it, just break a few a day."
There are many people and efficiency is high. In just a short time, they picked the corn. The old lady also picked a basket full of vegetables and melons. Some were big and some were small. The small ones were as big as fists and the big ones were as big as mallets. They were all ripe.
.
Ye Yaodong put a small bag of corn on his shoulder and took the basket from the old lady's hand. "I'll get the stuff. Please walk slowly."
Then he looked at the group of children, "Have they all come out? One, two, three, four, five, six... there is another one? Who? Where is Ye Chenghu?"
"Ye Chenghu!" he shouted into the corn bushes in a loud voice.
"I'm here, dad!" Ye Chenghu responded, holding up corn on the slope above, and then walked down with the corn in his arms.
Ye Yaodong looked at the corn cobs he had unzipped his shirt and asked, "Picked from above?"
"You kid, why did you go to someone else's house to pick it?" The old lady looked down the road and said in a low voice.
"Ah, doesn't the corn belong to our family?"
"This is the only place that belongs to our family!"
Ye Chenghu scratched his head, "I thought all the corn here belonged to our family!"
Ye Yaodong put down the basket and happily threw all the corn in his arms into the sack. "It's okay, as long as no one sees it. When you were young, your father thought that the entire mountain belonged to our family, so you could pick whatever you wanted!"
The old lady whispered, "Don't pick off other people's clothes next time. If you see them, you will be scolded."
"Not only that, but I will be chased all over the mountain!"
"Dad, have you ever been chased by someone?"
"From the mountains to the sea, I have played everything there is to play. Let's go and go home." Ye Yaodong carried the corn on his shoulders again!
"Wait a minute, there's still Yangyang!" The old lady grabbed Ye Yaodong who was about to leave.
"Oh yes! I almost forgot about this guy!"
He looked around and didn't see his youngest son, so he asked the children to look for him while he put down his things.
"Each one of these is only a little bigger than a butt, but they can actually run away like this. Where are they hiding?"
"Here you are, Third Uncle, Yangyang is sitting on the ground eating vegetables and melons!"
Ye Yaodong walked towards the direction of the sound and saw his youngest son sitting on the ground, raising his head and holding a vegetable that was bigger than his face, looking at everyone innocently.
The vegetable melon was still growing on the vine, and the skin had been chewed by him before it was picked off. It was hard for him to find a long lower part.
"Why are you hiding here and eating secretly?"
"father!"
Ye Chengyang raised the vegetable melon in his hand to hand it to his father, but he didn't have enough strength and fell down as soon as he lifted it up. As a result, the vegetable melon hanging on the tent shook and hit his forehead. He couldn't sit still and fell.
On all fours...
"Hahaha~"
"Hahahaha~ Idiot~"
Several children gloated mercilessly!
Ye Yaodong was also dumbfounded as he looked at his little son who was neither crying nor fussing, but turned over and climbed up using his hands and feet.
"You are covered in dirt and you are so dirty. If you and your brother go back, you will be scolded together."
