Does this make any difference?
Ye Yaodong touched his face. He looks like his daughter's grandfather? That's not okay. He must not embarrass her in the future.
"Is there anything I can use to make it whiter? Otherwise, the sun will make it darker and darker. What should I do if my daughter grows up and embarrass her?"
"Imagine, has your father embarrassed you?"
"I don't go to school, and everyone's fathers are the same. What's the shame of relying on your own labor to make a living? But my daughter is different. She will leave the fishing village and go to a big city to study in the future. I can't let her lose face and end up poor.
It doesn't matter if you are poor, eight generations of poor farmers are glorious, but if people look at me and ask, "That's your grandpa," my daughter will die of embarrassment, and I can't embarrass her."
Lin Xiuqing was filled with doubts when she heard this, "She's only just one month old, and you've already thought about her going to college?"
"Aren't I planning for a rainy day? It's only been less than a year and I've already tanned like this. Will it last for more than ten or twenty years? No, I have to tinker with it. Look at how fair and handsome I used to be.
...Didn’t you just fall in love with my face before..."
Ye Yaodong was rummaging around on the table as he spoke, and found that there was only a clam oil in a shell and a box of cream on the table, which he had bought for her.
"That's it, nothing else?"
"What else do you want?" Lin Xiuqing was speechless. She couldn't laugh or cry. How could a grown man be afraid of getting tanned and getting old?
"Alas~"
Women nowadays are really too simple.
"This has its pros and cons. I used to be whiter than you, but now my butt is whiter than yours." As he said that, he unzipped his shorts and took a look. They were completely different colors than his waist.
"I need to take off my pants and cover the front. I don't know if people think I'm wearing white shorts. My body is divided into three sections, top, middle and bottom."
"Why don't you take off your pants and dry yourself evenly?"
"It's not good for a big bird to swing around too much."
"No one can see it at sea."
"What if a ship passes by and sees it, and they feel inferior?"
Lin Xiuqing: "..."
What's going on in your head?
When the weather got hot, the quilt they covered was also thin. Ye Yaodong saw Ye Xiaoxi kicking off the quilt in her sleep. He wanted to pull the corner of the quilt to cover her, but his eyes accidentally glanced at Lin Xiuqing's chest.
It was swollen and wet with milk, and the water mark was particularly obvious. He couldn't help but his Adam's apple rolled.
Doing the math, it seems that he has been holding it in for a long time. He has also been working hard during this period of time and has no time or energy to think about it.
Lin Xiuqing also noticed his eyes, which were staring at her chest. She looked down and saw that her clothes were soaked with milk, and she immediately pulled her clothes unnaturally.
In order to facilitate breastfeeding, she did not wear a small vest, but only wore a long-sleeved autumn coat. Unexpectedly, it got wet and showed through.
"What are you looking at?"
"What are you covering up? It's not like you haven't seen it before. You've become a persimmon cake and you're still covering up..."
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened when she heard his description. She grabbed a pillow from behind and hit it. She said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense about? If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute. Get out!"
"Hey, hey, I said it wrong, I said it wrong, hush hush, don't hit, don't hit, don't wake up the child."
Lin Xiuqing's eyes were still rounded and she glared at him, "Shut your mouth, go out and sleep, don't show it in front of my eyes, I will get angry when I see you."
"I just said it casually. The shameless old perverts in the village said it every day and polluted me."
"You weren't much better to begin with."
"No, I'm a serious person..."
Ye Yaodong saw her chest rising and falling because of anger, and suddenly an idea came to him, "Hey, why don't you give me your breasts?"
"ah?"
Lin Xiuqing crossed her hands on her chest and glared at him angrily, "I'm still in confinement, what do you want to do?"
"Where are you thinking? Where's the milk you squeezed out? Give it to me to wash my face and try."
"ah?"
Why do you feel a little perverted?
"I heard that washing your face with milk can whiten your skin and protect your skin. Your milk should be good too, right?"
"My nerves have been used to pour vegetables. What weird and messy things are in your mind?"
"Isn't it because I don't want to be too tanned or too old? Look at my father's weathered face, wrinkled by the wind and sun, like the bark of a tree."
"Aren't all elderly people like this?"
"That's not necessarily the case!"
People in the future are getting younger and younger, and those in their 50s look the same as those in their forties, especially men, who do not look as old as women.
His father is only in his 50s now, but his weather-beaten face with ravines will look older than his 60s in the future.
"Let's wait until you get older. If you worry too much, won't you come back in vain if you haven't gone to sea for a while?"
"It's not as white as before. I'm sunburned. Forget it... I'll put on a hat and a mask. It should be better. I'll cut two holes for the nostrils of the mask tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll always feel like I can't breathe smoothly.
…”
Lin Xiuqing listened to his muttering and was too lazy to answer him. She looked at the child who felt a little awakened by the two of them talking and squirmed around. She reached out and patted her chest to comfort her, and she fell asleep again in an instant.
No more movement.
"Why don't you go back to the house and sleep?"
"You've collected the money and now you're driving me away? I squinted for a while in the afternoon and I'm not sleepy now."
"Then go out and listen to the radio for a while, so as not to disturb your daughter's sleep here."
"All right."
Ye Yaodong looked at his daughter's pink face, glanced at it a few more times, and touched it twice before going out.
Early the next morning, the sky was still gray, and the house was already busy. Ye Yaodong also got up early and rode his bicycle to the town to buy groceries.
Although there was no full-moon banquet, two tables still had to be arranged in a decent manner, one for his family and one for Ah Qing’s family.
The child is not counted as a head. He eats just two bites and then goes down to play. Not everyone from her mother's family will come. It is said that only her brother and sister-in-law and Lin Guangyuan are there. The other children have gone to school, and the sisters are far away and have no time.
It’s the third one anyway.
Father Lin and Mother Lin brought tiger-head clothes, tiger-head shoes, and tiger-head hats for their children early in the morning. They also gave them gold and silver necklaces and gold and silver bracelets.
In addition, while it didn't rain yesterday morning, they picked a large basket of bayberries and made a jar of bayberry wine, which they delivered together today.
Originally, I didn't plan to make gold, I only made silver necklaces and bracelets. After all, it was the third child, and she was still a girl.
But after staying at the Ye family for a few days, Father Lin and Mother Lin also realized that the Ye family did not favor sons over daughters. On the contrary, the son-in-law still cared about the granddaughter. Moreover, they also made a lot of money. The two elders discussed and decided to give up the gold necklace and bracelet.
Put it on.
They didn't prepare the cradle and standing cage, because they had been given away before, and they were made of bamboo that wouldn't break and could be washed and used again.
Ye's mother saw that her in-laws had even struck gold, and she couldn't close her mouth with laughter, "Why are my in-laws so polite? Ah Qing is already the third child, and she is still a girl. How can she be so well prepared, including tiger-head clothes, shoes, and socks?
That’s it, look at how much you spend, this is both silver and gold..."
Lin Xiuqing also said distressedly: "Yes, the boss just needs to pay a share. The second brother has not received a share. How can the third brother still pay for it? How much does it cost? You guys have planted trees and tea in the past few years and you still owe it."
A lot of money was spent..."
"Don't say it's irrelevant. The call I made to my granddaughter was not for you." Mother Lin was also dressed beaming today and said with a smile.
"It's too expensive. You don't have any money, so what are you doing with gold? We don't even have wine..."
"That's what it should be. What do you call spending money? I'm also a grandma again. It has nothing to do with whether you can drink or not."
Father Lin also said: "This is for the child, not for you. It will be a joy to dress her up after taking a bath later. This child is better looking than her brothers and is rare. It is also her blessing to be born."
.”
Father Ye answered with a smile, "I've beaten you, so forget it. Don't talk anymore. This is what my grandparents wanted."
"Yes, yes, you guys sit down and have a rest first. I'm going to cook some snacks for you. I just made the mugwort soup and it's cooling down. I'll make it for the child after I've finished taking a bath. You guys sit down and talk first."
"No need to work...we have had breakfast..."
"Breakfast is breakfast, snacks are snacks... It's different. You guys are waiting for me to cook it. Just in time to finish burning the wormwood, I'll pour out all the soup in the pot and cook the snacks." Ye Mu said as she walked out, and
I counted the heads silently.
This recipe requires one person to boil a pair of eggs and add a few longans. Fortunately, I picked up a lot of bird eggs some time ago and saved a lot of eggs.
Normally when guests come to the house, the cooked dim sum is longevity noodles with poached eggs. The dim sum for the full moon wedding is stewed double eggs. When the guests come, they eat the dim sum first and then wait until noon for the main meal.
When Ye Yaodong came back from shopping for groceries, he saw his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother and sister-in-law A Qing eating snacks. He smiled and said hello.
"Why are you here so early? There seems to be no car so early? It rained yesterday and the road is not easy to walk."
"No, no, we all wear rain boots specially, so we are not afraid of being thrown around, so we can walk easily. If we come here early, we can also give our children tiger-head clothes, shoes and socks early."
He nodded casually, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a large basket of big black bayberries in the corner of the main room, which made him salivate.
He took two of them and threw them into his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly. They were not sour at all, but very sweet.
"These bayberries are very sweet. They must have been picked yesterday morning, right? It rained yesterday afternoon, so the ones picked on a rainy day are not so sweet."
"Yeah, luckily I went up the mountain yesterday morning and picked some that were already black, otherwise they would have fallen off due to the rain yesterday."
"They were picked in time." He looked at his mother again, "Has the child finished taking a bath?"
"Not yet. Ah Qing is taking a bath. Go and call the barber in the village and ask him to give the child a haircut. When Ah Qing is finished, he can give her a bath from head to toe."
"Okay, I'll call you right away."
Ye Yaodong pedaled on the bicycle standing at the door again and rode faster. He didn't want to step off the rural dirt road after the rain.
There is mud everywhere on the road. Others feel sorry for their bicycles and are reluctant to ride them. Some people have been riding their bicycles for two or three years and they are still polished and shiny. They are as good as new and well cared for, but he doesn't care.
I went to town to buy groceries, and the bike looked like it had been fished out of the mud. There were yellow spots of mud everywhere. I didn't even think of wiping it off before riding out again.
When the people in the village saw him riding his bicycle and splashing muddy water, they were heartbroken. They kept saying that he would not cherish or take care of the car. If they rode a good car like this, they would definitely be like this if they had a car.
