Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 134

During dinner, everyone at the dinner table looked at Lin Xiuqing from time to time, which made her a little embarrassed.

Mother Ye thought for a while and said, "Don't go out and talk nonsense about Ah Qing this afternoon, I don't know if it is, but it is very strict now."

Many children are blessings, if she is pregnant, Mother Ye of course wants her to have another one safely.

"We know."

"Mother, what's wrong with Third Aunt?" Ye Chenghai asked his mother curiously.

"It's nothing, children, don't be so curious, adults have to ask everything, eat your meal quickly."

"Hum..."

"When picking up dishes, don't move the chopsticks back and forth in the dishes..."

"Hurry up and eat too, dawdling, the food is so good, isn't it? Before, when there were no dishes to accompany, you rushed to eat, how fast you ate..."

"Is your chin leaking? The table is full of rice, pick it up for me and eat..."

The voices scolding the children kept ringing out on the table, and Lin Xiuqing's matter was tacitly revealed for the time being.

After it got dark and everyone went back to their houses, Ye Yaodong took out the guava he had hidden and cut it, and handed it to the two children with excited expressions.

"Madam gave you something to eat, don't go out and say it, or Madam won't give it to you next time."

"Got it, Dad."

The younger son also nodded and echoed.

Ye Yaodong handed the other to Lin Xiuqing, but Lin Xiuqing didn't eat it, but took it out and cut it in half, and gave him half.

"eat together."

He took it with a smile, and started to eat in big gulps, and Lin Xiuqing ate too.

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, those who have the conditions and are more willing to kill chickens and ducks start early in the morning, and there are more hawkers in the village hawking meat dishes.

Usually, no one is willing to spend money on food and drink, so they are more willing to do so during the Chinese New Year.

Even Ye's mother heard someone selling fish balls, so she rushed out and asked them to pick them up.

The fish balls are round and in line with the meaning of reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are still very popular in their village.

As soon as the peddler put down his burden at the door of their house, a group of women who heard the sound surrounded them and wanted to buy.

Mother Ye bought a catty of mackerel fish balls and a catty of cuttlefish balls, and planned to cook them together to cater for everyone's taste.

These two kinds of fish balls are under the tongue of the women, and the hawker agreed to sell them at the same price, 2 cents a catty, otherwise the cuttlefish balls would be [-] cents more expensive.

Rural women are very budget-conscious.

Ye Yaodong had nothing to do, so he moved a stool and sat at the door with his feet up early in the morning. The family is full of people who can work, so he has nothing to do, but he is used to being busy during this period, and suddenly he has nothing to do. He is a little uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, he yelled to his wife in the room, "I'll go out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while."

"Come back early for lunch."

After he responded, he went out and started strolling casually.

Usually, the women in the village sit at the front or back door to weave their nets, making the village seem quiet and peaceful. Today, every household is moving, and the whole village is alive. The children know that they will have a big meal for the festival, and they all shout excitedly at the door. Jump again.

Ye Yaodong strolled leisurely on the small road in the village, but accidentally saw Xiaoxiao holding a machete in front of him, he quickly stopped.

"Xiao Xiao, where are you going?"

"There is not enough firewood at home, my father sent me to chop some firewood, so as not to burn it at night, where are you going?"

"I have nothing to do, just walk around."

"That's right, go chop wood with me..."

Ye Yaodong immediately turned around and left when he heard the words, but he couldn't get away in time, he jumped up from behind and grabbed his neck, "It's already here, why are you going? Let's go together!"

"Oh~ let go, I wouldn't have stopped you if I knew it." Ye Yaodong slapped his hand off, it was too short, and it hurt his neck.

"It's late, there is a companion when we go together."

"Why don't you ask your brother to go with you? There are three brothers above you, why is it your turn?"

"My eldest brother is killing ducks, my second brother is weaving bamboo flats, my third brother has been sailing with the big boat for a few days, my father has gone to the field to hoe taro, and the women are busy washing vegetables. I am the only one idle at home now. Is it? My father couldn't see that I was idle, so he sent me to chop wood."

I understand, he is also idle at his house.

"Forget it, if you are idle, you are also idle. Let me take a walk with you."

"now it's right."

The two chatted while walking on the road, walked to the opposite side of the road, found a small path and went up the mountain.

Xiaoxiao was looking for dead branches to pick them up, but Ye Yaodong had his eyes on a few banana trees that occasionally grew on the mountain, and a bunch of bunches of bananas hung all over the trees.

He twirled around this tree, and ran around that one, but they were hung too high, without long hooks, and couldn't bend the big handful of plantains.

"What are you doing? Want to pick soil bananas?"

They call plantains soil bananas.

"Yeah, don't you think it's very eye-catching hanging on the top, it's clearly seducing me!" Ye Yaodong has been looking up at the banana tree, looking for any ones that grow lower and can be obtained.

"I'll come back later with a bamboo pole and a hook. How do I pick it now? Help me pick up the branches."

"You pick it up first, I'll go elsewhere."

"Grass, you are so unreliable! You agreed to help me chop firewood, and went to pick bananas."

"Of course bananas are more important than you!" His voice came from afar.

"I have it too."

Ye Yaodong turned around, and finally found a tree with a string that he could get, and there happened to be a soil slope next to this tree.

He stood on the soil slope, tiptoed and reached out to grab its stem, and bent it down, but a lot of it was not easy to break off.

"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, bring your machete here."

"You don't help chop firewood, but you still use my guy..." Xiao Xiao came over while cursing, "Why do you need a machete?"

"Huh? Have you found someone you can get? I'll chop it up, I'll chop it up..."

"Is there anything else I can get? Look again, it seems that there are three more..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him contemptuously, "Didn't you dislike me just now for not helping you chop firewood, and asking you to come here with a machete? Now you're going to pick bananas again?"

"Hey, didn't Zhuge Liang say that now and then, you go and look for it again."

Ye Yaodong looked at him in bewilderment, what did Zhuge Liang say?
"What are you looking at, look for it quickly? Either leave the machete for you, you are taller, I'll go to Ah Guang's house to get a hook."

After speaking, he threw down the machete and ran away. Just now he disliked him for not helping and delaying things, but now he is more active than him!
Dog day!
Ye Yaodong didn't bother about whether Zhuge Liang was Zhuge Liang, he put a bunch of plantains in the corner first, picked up the machete and went up to find it.

Unexpectedly, he found another short one, that is, Basho is not as big as before, but it doesn't matter, he doesn't mind, as long as there is something to gain.

This banana tree was relatively short, so he cut off another bunch by tearing off the stem. Then he stood on the slope and saw that there were two or three banana trees growing on one stem, but it was a bit difficult to reach.

He glanced around, trying to see if there were any simple tools, until he looked at the surrounding trees, pondered for a while, then his eyes lit up, turned around and cut a thicker branch, and cut off the extra branches , leaving only one bottom branch.

Cut the branch into a shape like a compass, Ye Yaodong took the branch and hooked it directly to the series of plantain stems, then swiped down and pulled it forward, and the whole plantain stem leaned in front of him.

After he caught it, he took a machete and cut off a section of the stem, and then got several bunches of plantains!

"Dongzi, Dongzi, where are you?"

"Over here!"

Xiao Xiao held a long bamboo pole with a hook tied to it, and ran over excitedly, followed by Ah Guang.

"How much did you cut?"

"There are a lot of strings. If you want, you can score a few more points."

"Use this, use this", holding up the hook like a small offering of treasure, "I just tied one temporarily, and I will use it first, I will hook the bananas and you can chop them."

"You don't chop firewood anymore? If you don't chop firewood, how can you go back later? You are such a big man, don't be beaten by your father taking off his pants." Ye Yaodong teased him.

"Nervous, I won't run away? I'm already a father... Forget it, chop it up now, and help me pick up some branches when you're free. Bring some bananas back and just plug their mouths."

Ah Guang wandered around and glanced around, "There are not many trees here, why not cut them next to my house? My dad planted a few trees randomly a few years ago, and now I can pick them. Someone planted them casually here, too. It’s okay to cut one or two strings, but if there are too many, people will jump.”

Ye Yaodong looked at the soiled bananas at his feet, and then chopped down three trees, one or two bunches of each tree, it should be okay, right?There are still many hanging on it.

"Okay, let's go to your place, I have enough of these, go to your place to chop some, and bring it back to Xiaoxiao."

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't run around, just walk around and go to the back mountain." Xiaoxiao carried the bamboo pole and went down again.

Ah Guang helped Ye Yaodong get those bananas together, "I have quite a lot at my place, you have so many people in your family, and you have so many children, just chop some back."

"Why chop so much? You can't finish eating all at once, let it go bad, and then go to your place to chop after eating."

"That's whatever you want."

The three of them walked excitedly to the back mountain. The local people commonly called it the back mountain, but it was actually called Lingang Mountain, which was just beside A Guang's house.

The three of them had cheap hands, they pulled out leaves and weeds along the road while walking, Ye Yaodong looked at the reeds on the roadside, grabbed two of them, felt them, and then stretched out to scratch his little neck.

"Fuck, what are you doing?"

"Try to see if it will shed the hair. It's okay to pull it out a little and tie it back to the broom."

"You can?"

"I won't, my grandma will, forget it, she's already old."

"What's the matter? She seems to be in good health. She can move freely. She is not deaf or blind. Find something to do for her! The old man can't be too idle. If he is free, he can't sit still and wants to pick up a hoe. .”

It is!

"I'll pull it out later, and it happens that the things in the new house haven't been bought yet."

A Guang reminded: "If you want to pull it out, you should pull it out as soon as possible. I think it will be pulled out later. In the past few days, I have seen several people run away from Shanpu. They all made a selection and sold it. It can be sold."

Some things that grow randomly on the mountain can be turned into treasures in the hands of the villagers.

"understood."

　I changed my pseudonym, don't be surprised.

　　It used to be called "a glass of iced lemonade" and now it's called "rice with rice"
