"Did you fall somewhere or feel any pain?" Lin Xiuqing touched her up and down.

Ye Xiaoxi cried and shook his head, opened his mouth wide and cried, pointing at his mouth, "It hurts here."

"I lost one of my front teeth. Doesn't it hurt? Are you still naughty?"

"Stop being naughty, it hurts..."

Ye Yaodong wanted to find a tissue, but he could only touch his pocket, took out his handkerchief, wiped the blood from her mouth, put the camera aside, and picked her up.

"Rinse your mouth first. It won't hurt if you rinse your mouth. By the way, take a look at your teeth."

She kept shedding tears and rinsed her mouth several times until no more blood came out.

Lin Xiuqing opened her mouth and looked up and down at the gap, "Nothing else was damaged except for one front tooth."

"Okay, now I've opened up a hole and become a toothless guy."

"Wow wow wow..."

"Don't even think about growing it in three years." Ye Yaodong laughed at her.

Lin Xiuqing also added insult to injury, "Let's see if you dare to wear adults' shoes in the future. You even wore my shoes a few days ago. You won't be afraid even if you don't fall once."

Ye Yaodong also deliberately held her in his arms and showed her a mirror, "Don't just cry, open your eyes and see how ugly you are now, Toothless."

She opened her eyes with tears in her eyes, glanced at the mirror, cried louder, and even hit him angrily.

"Oh oh oh... you still hit me, so bad, I won't hug you anymore."

Ye Xiaoxi was still crying and chasing him after being put on the ground, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, I hate you, you are the ugliest... You are the ugliest..."

"Who just said you wanted to marry me?"

"No, a dog wants to marry you because he hates you."

"Aqing, your daughter called you a dog."

Lin Xiuqing glared at him, "Stop teasing her, missing a tooth is sad enough."

"He is going to be the ugliest child in the village..."

"Ah ah ah, wu wu wu, no, my teeth..."

Lin Xiuqing hit him again and said, "Go out quickly."

"It's so early in the morning, where should I go? I won't go to the county to receive the award in the afternoon."

"I saw you lingering there for a long time, and I thought you were going to go out now."

"Didn't I just want to prepare in advance?"

Since you are all going out, you must dress up in advance and have all your belongings ready, so you can just go out when the time comes.

"Then you go to the workshop to help with the work, or go to the town to see how the factory is progressing over there."

Ye Yaodong saw that he was well dressed. If he rode a motorcycle to the town, he would be disgraced from head to toe, and his efforts would be in vain.

"Forget it, I'll polish my shoes first, and then I'll go to the workshop to help."

Lin Xiuqing took the child aside and coaxed her, "Don't cry. If it falls, it will fall. It will grow back in a few years. Now I have to throw the tooth under the bed."

Ye Xiaoxi wiped away her tears and followed her into the house, "Why did you throw it under the bed? Can you let me play with it..."

"No, if the upper teeth fall out, they should be thrown under the bed, and if the lower teeth fall off, they should be thrown on the roof, so that the teeth that grow back in the future can be straight."

She followed behind him with some understanding, her eyes full of curiosity, and she stopped crying at the same time.

Ye Yaodong was sitting there polishing his shoes, and he didn't forget to add: "When you lose your teeth, you have to stand neatly and straight, otherwise the teeth that will grow out in the future will be crooked, unsightly, and become buck teeth and mouth.

Can't close."

She was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.

When it was time to lose my tooth, I stood up straight.

After Lin Xiuqing lost her teeth, she lay on the ground and looked under the bed out of curiosity.

"It's really gone."

"Okay, okay, don't lie on the floor, it's so dirty, let's go out and play."

"don't want."

She wrinkled her face, pursed her mouth, and sat down on the bed again. She didn't want to go out because she had lost one of her front teeth.

Dad said she was so ugly.

In an instant, tears fell down again. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, she opened her mouth wide and started crying again.

"Why are you crying again?"

Lin Xiuqing ignored her and walked out, "You must be sad, I stopped just now. I guess the more I thought about it, the sadder she became and I started crying again."

Ye Yaodong smiled and stretched his head to look at the door.

"Don't worry about her. She can't hold it in anymore. She'll run out to play later."

"Um."

Ye Xiaoxi cried for a long time, but she stopped when no one came to comfort her.

Then I ran out and saw that no one was at home except the dog, which made me feel sad again.

I hugged the dog and muttered a lot of grievances, then dragged the dog's head, shed tears, and turned on the TV, planning to watch TV at home.

Ye Yaodong waited for lunch and ate for a while before taking his camera and riding his motorcycle to the county to receive the award.

Secretary Chen had already told him the address, and he could find out just by asking people along the way.

When I went there, I had to verify my identity, and then I gave him the commendation book for the Advanced Youth Award and the prize, and asked about his daily work.

Ye Yaodong told them everything he knew, and told them a good story, and then waited until everyone else was in place before going to take pictures together.

But after they finished taking the photo, he took his camera and asked them to take another photo, and said that his photo was in color, so he had to take it again.

If it weren't for the background of the leader's photo and the banners and words on the wall, he would have just taken it home and took the photo himself.

After everything was settled, he was invited to participate in the advanced deeds report meeting on the May Fourth Youth Day. Then he shook hands with everyone warmly and said goodbye, and rode back on his motorcycle.

"Dad...my dad has come back gloriously..."

"My dad is back to receive the award..."

"Dad, what did you get?"

"Why are there washbasins and towels again..."

"Dad, can't you try to get something else? You've already received a lot of washbasins, towels, and hot water bottles."

"What do you want me to get? Can I get a car to show you the scenery?"

Ye Yaodong stopped the car in front of his home and was about to push it in, when he was surrounded by a group of children.

Ye Chenghu, this big speaker, really makes me look good.

"Really?" He looked expectantly.

"You won't even be worth the money if I sell you."

After saying that, he pushed the motorcycle directly in. He didn't care about their laughter, but he still saw Ye Xiaoxi's face with one tooth missing, and she was still smiling happily.

I didn't dare to go out all morning and stayed at home watching TV and taking care of my house. I didn't expect that I was willing to go out to play in the afternoon.

He kept the general's rewards casually, and he locked the important commendation books in a drawer. They were put together with the commendations he had received before. There were already three books.

Looking at it, he did feel quite glorious and proud. Ye Yaodong grinned, locked the drawer and went out.

In the workshop, Ah Qing was talking to Secretary Chen at this time. He went there at the right time.

"A Dong, you are back, Secretary Chen is looking for you." Lin Xiuqing waved to him.

Secretary Chen also said: "I thought you would be back soon, but I didn't expect you to come back until dinner time."

"It took a little longer to talk."

"Everyone went out to see the sea this morning. We discussed it at noon and said that we will collect the vegetables tomorrow. I will come over to inform you in advance to make arrangements."

"Okay, I understand, you can just accept it. It will take several days from the time it is received and dried. If there is no big problem, the price should be the same as last year."

"Okay, haha, it's not that I planted too much this year. I'm a little worried, so I'll ask you a few more questions."

Last year, Ye Yaodong would always go to the village committee to ask questions whenever he was at home. He would also give some suggestions and discuss them with the workers.

This year was gone, I didn’t ask much about him, and I rarely saw anyone, so now it was Secretary Chen’s turn to feel unsure, and I wanted to get close to him whenever I had free time.

Even if nothing happens, I still want to go to him and remind him, especially since the goods are about to be received recently, and I see people every day. After all, this is related to the livelihood of the whole village.

Ye Yaodong chatted with him for a while before sending him away.

Lin Xiuqing came up and asked, "Secretary Chen has been coming to our house too often recently."

"We're not going to collect the food soon."

"I just said it will be harvested tomorrow."
