Ye Yaodong looked at his mother speechless.
She knows too much!
But his wife is now responsive to his every request, so how can she not give him money?
Anyone who doesn't give him money is an old man. It was all last year... uh... it was just last year...
It doesn’t seem like that long has passed?
He thought the history of waste was long gone.
Time flies so slowly, so hurry up and turn the page during the New Year, so that his parents will not always feel that his past is right in front of them, and it will not be long before it is always mentioned.
"Why do you have such a good memory? You always don't open or pick up a certain pot. I'm the head of the family. Why won't she give me money?"
"As the head of the family, you still have no money in your pocket."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Can you please stop telling the truth? I feel like I am being despised by my own mother.
He touched his pocket to refute, but found that he really had no money.
“Who goes to sea with a bunch of money in his pocket?”
That's right! Anyone who goes to sea with a lot of money should leave it at home for his wife to keep!
"My father doesn't have any money in his pocket."
"That's it, isn't it? If you suddenly say such nice things, there must be something going on. Can you coax me to work more for you? Just like you."
Ye's father came back ahead of Ye Yaodong. Just as he was going to the next door to borrow a knife and cutting board to help kill fish, he heard mother and son whispering bad things about him.
"What am I like? What's wrong with me?"
"My mother said that you always like to show off your hospitality when you have nothing to do, and you always like to say good things when your pockets are empty."
Father Ye: "???"
What's the matter with him?
"Okay, what are you talking about all day? When you have nothing to do, work more and talk less. You haven't killed a bunch of fish yet, and you still have time to mutter and talk non-stop..."
"Old thing..."
Ye Mu glanced at him sideways, cursed secretly, stopped talking to them, and continued killing fish.
Ye Yaodong stood up happily and let his father and his mother fall in love and kill each other.
In the room, the table that had been littered with cups and plates had been cleared away, and only Lin Xiuqing was still eating.
"Have you not finished eating yet? I see my mother is killing fish there."
Lin Xiuqing was peeling shrimps, "No, I just put away the table and the chopsticks and washed them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the chopsticks to eat. There are not enough bowls and chopsticks in the front, so I borrowed them from my second sister-in-law."
"My mother and the old lady have already eaten. I will peel the remaining shrimps and shrimps and keep the meat. I will cook seafood porridge tomorrow morning and add a handful of vegetables. The two children will definitely like it."
"Otherwise, no one will eat them tomorrow. Although they are all shells, it would be a pity to throw them away. The crabs will not be peeled. It is too laborious and there will not be much meat."
"Then just peel one shrimp and dump the rest. Anyway, we have to go to sea at night and tomorrow." As he said that, he also started to help peel them together.
I thought that there were many people, so I left quite a lot of food back, but I didn't expect that just after the meal was finished, and before I had two glasses of wine, I left in a hurry, leaving a lot of dishes left, which was really a waste.
"Keep them all for now. It's cold and it won't go bad if you keep them. You can eat them again tomorrow. Are all the leaders gone?"
"Let's go. As soon as the tractor comes, put the sea monster on the truck and leave."
"Remember to keep your number and don't lose it. If something happens to us, we can still call someone. Director Chen is pretty good at keeping an eye on people."
"Well, the number is in the pocket of my cotton-padded jacket. I'll take it back to the lock drawer of the house later."
"I thought we would have to go to the city to buy a few thousand kilograms to dry in the sun if we were to deliver it again. Unexpectedly, the weather has been nice these two days, so I saved some money and could earn a little more."
"Well, I'm thinking of telling dad to hire two more people to go out to sea with him at night to collect the goods. I'll go back to my parents' house with you tomorrow, so as not to delay it too late, and I don't know when I will be free next time."
"Okay, then I can order some pig's feet later and I'll go back tomorrow morning."
The couple sat together at the table, chatting about household chores while busy. After everyone had peeled off the shells, one went to wash the dishes and the other helped clean the table.
The men and women are not tired from working together. Ye Yaodong is very skilled in business and now he will do his best to help with some scattered housework.
The next day, Lin Xiuqing got up early and changed the two brothers into clean clothes and pants, and put on sleeves sewn with rags.
This saves you from being too "lazy" and your clothes will be so dirty that you can't see the color even after wearing them for a day.
Forget it at home, it doesn't matter, since I'm running around all day long, I still have to clean up a little when I'm visiting my grandma's house.
Ye Chenghu put on a clean cotton coat and trousers, and a newly hooked woolen hat. He felt so beautiful.
He couldn't wait to run out without buttoning his cotton-padded jacket.
"I'm going to tell Brother Ahai and the others that I'm going to visit my grandma's house on a tractor again."
"No tractor ride today..."
He didn't even stop calling and ran away.
"Brother, wait for me~"
Ye Chengyang was also very anxious. He immediately slipped off the bed and ran out wearing cotton slippers.
Lin Xiuqing quickly grabbed him and put on another pair of cotton shoes for him, "Why are you so anxious? You said you didn't want to take your brother there two days ago."
Ye Chengyang opened his eyes wide, "Ah, I won't take my brother with me. That's right. I'll tell him..."
As he said that, he ran out quickly, unable to catch him or stop him from shouting.
Lin Xiuqing didn't care about them anymore. They had to be brought with them anyway. Otherwise, if one was brought and the other was not, there would be a huge commotion.
She returned to the main room and arranged everything again. In fact, she didn't buy too much. She gave a lot of gifts during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time, it was just a gift for the New Year. She made a pig's trotter and bought some cigarettes, wine and meat for her family.
Just fish.
She can't just move to her parents' house. Although A Dong won't say anything, her parents will say that she doesn't know how to live.
The old lady is standing by the stove, throwing chopped green vegetables into the pot. The seafood porridge has been cooked. Put the green vegetables in and cook for a while. Add some salt and then you can eat it.
She also muttered a few words, "You should wear thicker clothes to avoid catching cold. Let Dongzi remember to wear gloves. Cyclists are very cold, so they should also wear scarves and hats. He is sitting in front of the bicycle, and the wind
They blew it directly into his face."
"Yangyang should also wear thicker clothes for him. When he arrives, he will sit on the front bumper. The wind will also blow on his face. Apply clam oil to him to prevent him from drying out and peeling from the cold."
"knew."
Elderly people like to talk casually, and Lin Xiuqing is used to it, so she just responds.
"Hasn't A Dong gotten up yet? He has been exhausted from going to sea for the past two days. It is still very frosty and cold outside. Let him sleep a little longer. The sun will come out later and it will be too late to set off again. There is no need to wait for riding a bicycle.
…”
"Um……"
She put everything into the basket, put the pig's feet and five pounds of pork belly into the bucket, and covered them with cloth. When she set off later, she only had to hang the two baskets and buckets on the handles on both sides.
Ye Yaodong actually woke up a long time ago, but he was too lazy to get up. He huddled under the quilt, intending to stay in bed for a while. On a cold day, there was no place more comfortable than the quilt.
Next to her, the little daughter, who looks like a ball of flesh, is lying on her side, her cheeks on both sides are like her buttocks, flushed from sleep, and there is still glistening saliva at the corner of her mouth. She can't get enough of it.
It wasn't until Lin Xiuqing came in to urge him to get up and eat that he looked back with lingering interest.
"What if a will-o'-the-wisp boy comes from now on and takes my daughter away? It makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it."
"What is a will-o'-the-wisp boy?"
"Alas~" Ye Yaodong was not in the mood to explain.
His daughter just caught up with the post-80s generation.
Lin Xiuqing looked at him in confusion as he sighed and looked unhappy early in the morning. She just thought he was weird.
"What are you complaining about? Get up quickly. She's not yet one year old, and you're worried about what kind of boy she'll find after she turns 20? It's a bit early for you to worry."
"It's too early to find a partner at the age of 20. It's better to wait until you are 30. It's better to have a son and not suffer the consequences of harming other people's girls."
Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "Come on, how old is 30 years old? If you are not married at 30 years old, you will be laughed at by others, and you won't be able to get married. My son is not doing well either. He is called his parents every three days, and he can't beat him.
Come."
"It doesn't matter, let the teacher help me. If you are not married at 30, how old is it? There are people who are not married at 40."
Ye Yaodong got up muttering and put on all the clothes and pants that A Qing had folded and put aside for him in advance.
"Leave your daughter in the care of the old lady today?"
"Give it to mother. She didn't go to work today. The old lady is old and Xiaojiu is too heavy. Don't drop one, but drop two."
"Oh, it's Sunday, that's just right."
The couple talked quietly and walked out, closing the door behind them.
At this time, Ye Chengyang ran in crying with runny nose and tears to complain.
"Mom, brother hit me~"
"What are you doing again? You haven't said anything about taking a break every day. You hit me and I hit you every day. I soiled my clothes. You two don't want to go out."
Lin Xiuqing lowered her face and patted the dirty spots on his clothes twice.
Ye Chenghu trotted over from behind and said angrily: "He said you would take him to grandma's house instead of me."
"I won't take you with me!"
"You still say that! If you say it again, I'll beat you up!"
The couple looked at the two brothers with cross-eyed eyes with black lines on their heads. Ye Yaodong suddenly didn't feel that his son was well again...
Both are debt collectors and both are guys who deserve a beating!
"Stop it. If we continue to quarrel and fight, neither of you should go. Your mother and I will ride our bicycles by ourselves. Go and come back quickly. Don't worry, it will save you trouble."
"No, I'm going."
"I'm going too!"
"Shut up and go wash your hands and eat."
"Hmph~"
"Hmph~"
The two brothers turned their heads away from each other.
The old lady packed bowls of seafood porridge and put them on the table to cool. Then she stood aside and watched happily, "If you quarrel and fight now, you will be the same person again later."
"Ignore them, let's all eat first." Ye Yaodong sat down first, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, "Seafood porridge is still delicious, better than sweet potato porridge."
"Of course, it took me a long time to skin it, and it took a lot of effort to get that small bowl of meat. It's not delicious to make porridge. Eat more, warm up your body, and you won't feel cold when you ride on the bike."
"Well, I think it's because of your good craftsmanship. It's very thick and delicious."
The two boys also felt that seafood porridge was more delicious than white porridge and sweet potato porridge, and they were very enthusiastic about it.
"The porridge cooked by my aunt is more delicious and more flavorful than that cooked by my mother."
"Well, what A Tai cooks is the most delicious."
The old lady was so happy that they coaxed her.
"If it tastes good, eat more. I'll ask your father to keep some fresh ones for peeling in the evening and cook them tomorrow. The fresh ones are better for making porridge."
Lin Xiuqing remained silent on the sidelines, which meant that the old lady responded to her requests and did not find it troublesome.
How could she have the spare time to peel off the shells and flesh to cook seafood porridge? If she had the time, she might as well kill the fish. Yesterday she was afraid of wasting it.
