Ye Yaodong didn't even give him a look.
"Hey... little uncle... how could you go back on your word? I am a guest! A guest! Do you know what a guest is?" Lin Guangyuan trotted beside him and looked up at him.
"I know that guests do as they please, so be honest. You are living under someone else's roof now, do you understand?"
"Why live under someone else's roof? I'm here as a guest. You have to take good care of me."
Ye Yaodong gave him a slap in the face, "I've been thinking about it all day long. I'll take you to the dock tomorrow to carry goods, make good money and honor your sister-in-law and uncle-in-law."
"Ah... this is a bit too much... Let's discuss it, uncle. We'll go there in the evening. I will be honest from now on..."
"Don't walk so fast! Slow down...Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law...let's just go once..."
"Maybe there are a lot of goods. There are sandworms during the day, and there will definitely be more at night...it's the fifteenth today..."
Ye Yaodong stopped for a moment, "Today is fifteenth?"
"Yes, today is fifteen!"
He calculated in his mind that Ye Xiaoxi was born on the third day of March, so today is not the fifteenth day.
Lin Guangyuan felt that there was something interesting and smiled flatteringly, "I heard that there will be a big tide on the 15th, my uncle..."
Ye Yaodong glanced at him, "Children will grow taller if they sleep more. If you don't sleep in the middle of the night and sneak out, be careful that you grow into a dwarf in the future."
"It doesn't matter, it won't affect my future marriage."
"But it affects my ability to pick up girls and find rich women."
"Ah? Damn it, little uncle, it turns out you are this kind of person..."
"Are you trying to bribe me? If you bribe me, I won't tell my sister-in-law..."
Lin Guangyuan followed beside him and tried his best to persuade...
Ye Yaodong spread his big palm and directly covered his face, and pushed hard, "Shut your mouth, if you keep talking, I won't take you with me tonight!"
Lin Guangyuan instantly jumped three feet high in surprise, "Oh ho~ oh so good~"
"I won't call you. If you can get up, go there. If you can't get up, don't go."
"I can definitely get up!"
Lin Guangyuan rushed directly to the door of his house in excitement, and shouted loudly to tell others the good news.
Ye Yaodong was too late to stop him. He heard the children cheering happily from a distance, and then he was scolded in the face.
He stopped instantly and couldn't move forward now...
He will also be scolded when he goes back at this time...
For example, a person in his 20s is still like a child of a few years old, thinking about playing all day long. It is like he has not grown up and goes to the beach at night...
Why go to the beach? It’s late at night, it’s dark and you can’t see anything. Have you never been to the beach?
Day by day, I just like to mess around, and I also take a group of children to do it, and they are too full...
…
He immediately turned around and went out, planning to go for a walk around the village. Anyway, his parents were at home, and Ah Qing was not afraid that no one would take care of him.
A quaint and peaceful small fishing village, facing the sea and backed by green mountains.
The Grain Rain season has just passed, and it is the time when hundreds of fish come ashore. Fishermen and women are busy preparing nets for fishing at sea, or groups of small and large groups holding shuttles quickly intersperse among the fishing nets.
Mottled old fishing nets and floats are also drying in the open spaces on both sides of the road. It is a completely different scene from drying fish in winter, but it is still a busy and prosperous scene.
The laughter of various children can be heard everywhere on the surrounding trails.
Ye Yaodong was walking on a quiet street, smoking and wandering around, when he heard the sound of "dong dong dong dong" and the sound of selling.
"Maltose, maltose~the tatters are replaced by sugar~"
“Maltose, maltose~ I’m buying maltose~”
As soon as he walked out of the intersection of the path, he saw a group of children holding various old slippers in their hands, chasing a middle-aged man carrying a load with a large piece of candy in it. He was holding a rattle in his hand and mouthing
Screaming "rags are exchanged for sugar"...
Maltose comes in solid form and liquid form. The one that middle-aged people pick up and sell is the solid form.
When the middle-aged man heard a group of children shouting behind him, he put down his pole with a smile on his face.
There is a large sugar cake placed on the wooden board of the sugar stall. The light yellow sugar cake is sprinkled with flour. The middle-aged man is holding a thin piece of iron sheet in his left hand and a small hammer in his right hand. He gently knocks a corner of it.
The maltose was knocked down.
The children were extremely anxious, but the middle-aged man did all this in a leisurely manner, regardless of how anxious they were, and the children's saliva was almost drooling.
After knocking down a small pile of maltose, he exchanged the worn slippers with the children one by one.
You can also use money or rice, but most adults are reluctant to do so, and the children go home to collect old slippers or other rags.
When Ye Yaodong got closer, he also smelled a faint smell of maltose, which is one of the favorite delicacies of children nowadays.
He had enough time to watch the children change to maltose one by one and lick them there, with an extremely satisfied expression. Thinking that he also had a bunch of children at home, he also waited patiently.
After all the children had received candies and were licking them while walking around with satisfaction, he also took out the coins in his pocket, which were all worth one, two and five cents.
"How much is a dollar?"
"penny."
So cheap.
"Give me ten yuan." He counted out a dime and handed it to the candy seller.
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face. It was rare to meet someone who was willing to spend money, and he bought so much at once. He knocked slowly and gave an extra piece to Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong took the maltose wrapped in an old newspaper, thanked him, opened it, picked up a small one and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it while walking.
It was very hard, and he rolled it in his mouth.
After warming my mouth for a while, it softened a bit. It was very chewy, sweet and delicious, and sticky to the teeth. The silky sweet feeling reached the bottom of my heart.
"I haven't eaten it for decades, but this maltose is still authentic." He thought to himself.
Slowly, he walked back the way he had come. The gradually tilting sunset stretched his shadow longer...
Before he reached the door of his house, he heard a lively noise in the distance. A group of children were yelling and throwing sandbags, shouting that they had a few lives left.
After Ye Yaodong approached, he raised a small bag in his hand and asked, "Would you like some maltose?"
"Ah? Maltose?"
"maltose?"
"Ah~ I have some maltose to eat~"
"I want~I want~"
"I want it too~"
"Wait for me~ I want to..."
A group of older children and younger children all gathered around excitedly. At this time, every household had limited family conditions and little food to eat, so no child could resist maltose.
"Wow, there are so many. Third uncle is so nice!"
Ye Yaodong smiled and spread his hands, letting them help themselves, "One piece per person, no more."
"Well, it's so delicious and sweet!"
Others also nodded in agreement and stuck out their tongues to lick it. When it became a little soft, they took a bite and pulled out long strands.
"I'll get the chopsticks!"
"I want to..."
Ye Yaodong watched each of them holding a chopstick, rolling it around the chopstick and sucking it slowly, eating until his mouth was covered with white flour, enjoying the sweetness and teasing each other.
They ate and played with a small piece of candy for a long time.
He still had one piece left in his hand, but unfortunately Ye Xiaoxi had just given birth and couldn't eat it yet, and Aqing was also in confinement, so it seemed that he couldn't eat it either.
One piece was not enough for them to share, otherwise they would start fighting, so he wrapped it up casually, put it back in his pocket, and went back into the house.
I haven't seen Ye Xiaoxi for a while. This little baby really looks the same every day, which is very rare.
As a result, as soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother and the old lady coming out of the house, "You're back? Where did you die? You were sent away and disappeared."
Ye Yaodong laughed and said, "I took a walk around with nothing to do."
He dug into his pocket again and handed the remaining piece of maltose to the old lady, "Maltose, I just bought it. You have a sweet mouth."
The old lady smiled and showed her gums, "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."
"I just ate a piece. The group of kids at the door are all here. There's still a piece left, so you can keep it sweet." He stuffed it into the old lady's pocket without any explanation.
The old lady put her hand in her pocket and touched it without taking it out. She just smiled more happily and said, "Spend less money. It's not easy for you to make some money. You haven't gone to sea recently. Otherwise, let your mother come over to fight you tonight."
Dibu, you and your father are going to sea, I heard that there are a lot of goods recently."
Mother Ye also nodded, "The two children are afraid of making noise, so they are sleeping in the same room now. You go and accompany them and spread out a straw mat on the floor. I will sleep in Ah Qing's room and take care of them."
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and decided that this was okay. Lin Guangyuan and the two boys slept on the same bed, and he made a bunk on the ground for a few days.
"Okay, then we can go to sea tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"How many kids are you going to take to the beach at night?" Mother Ye frowned.
He said with a smile: "Ayuan has been pestering me. Let's take him to the beach for a walk in the evening. The others will definitely not be able to get up. I didn't want to take so many people there. Who knew he was such a big mouth."
"Why go? You can't play during the day? You have to go at night. You're too full and you're not afraid of danger..."
"He stayed here specially to play. I couldn't satisfy him, so I took him out to play for a while. He is already so old, so he knows how powerful he is."
The old lady warned: "Be careful and keep an eye on other people's children. If anything happens, you won't be able to afford the compensation."
"Don't worry, we'll go when the tide goes out. You won't go into the water." It's not like we're going for a swim, we're just catching up on the sea. He can still bear it.
Mother Ye was too lazy to care, so she simply walked out without seeing anything. She had to start preparing dinner again, and she had to pull some spinach.
When night fell, the children reluctantly went back to the house to sleep. Before they left, they all told each other to remember to scream if anyone woke up at night.
As a result, it was no surprise that they all got scolded, but they were all rough-skinned and thick-skinned. It didn't matter whether they were scolded or not, they were fine even if they were beaten. They all went back to their homes with winks.
Ye Chenghai even specifically grabbed Lin Guangyuan and whispered, remember to call him...
In just one day, they have established a revolutionary friendship!
