Back to the small fishing village in 1982Y

Chapter 24 Picking Corn

Lin Xiuqing looked at his actions and quickly asked, "Where are you taking your son?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I went to help grandma pick corn."

"Pick them all, or just a little? Shall I go and help?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady behind her, she was only holding a basket in her hand, "Pick some, didn't I say yesterday, just keep it for your own food, and tell grandma not to sell it. Pick a few and come back, you Go about your business."

Mother Ye saw that he was diligent once in a while, and she also said kindly, "Pick a little more today, don't peel the skin, and cook it with the skin in the evening, so that Dad and the others can take it to the sea as a snack."

"Then take the sack and pack it, and pack it into 20 or so and come back."

"By the way, pick a few more vegetables and melons, and bring them to eat at sea?" Mrs. Ye also said.

"understood."

After the old lady took the sack, Ye Yaodong carried his son and walked with her to the entrance of the village, which is two directions to the sea.

The old lady walked slowly, and he accommodated her footsteps. He walked slowly and looked around. All he saw along the way were women sitting at the door weaving nets, and children running around.

The seven children of their family were also running down the side slope. The youngest son in his arms saw that everyone was here, and shouted happily: "Brother ~ sister ~"

"Ah, dad, why are you here? Where are you going?"

Ye Chenghu also saw his father and younger brother, and hurriedly called for someone, but he didn't look at his feet. He accidentally slipped and fell, and his buttocks slipped to his father's feet while sitting on the ground.

But he didn't cry, he just yelled a few words, then stood up and patted his buttocks, "Oh, it hurts like hell, luckily it's his buttocks."

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, the real leather is real!

The old lady also stepped forward and patted his buttocks, "Walk slowly, depending on the road, yo~ I broke a hole, go back and ask your mother to mend it for you."

"Ah, don't you want it? My mother will beat me up. I want grandma to make it up for me. Where are you and grandma going?"

"Go pick corn and vegetables!"

"Aww~ I'm going too!"

"I also need to go!"

"We're going too!" Excited ones all expressed their willingness to follow.

"The buttocks are all exposed, why don't you mend your pants first when you go home?"

"No, I'm going to pick corn and vegetables and melons first, and I'll mend it later when I get home." After speaking, he ran to the entrance of the village. It didn't matter if there was a hole in his buttocks, and he didn't even think about covering it.

The others also rushed forward screaming happily.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall..." the old lady called out worriedly from behind.

One is the belt, the other is the belt, Ye Yaodong doesn't care, "Leave them alone, just be careful not to fall."

"Father, hurry up, hurry up, brother, run away."

Ye Yaodong patted his younger son's butt, he couldn't speak well, and wanted to play with them, "What's the hurry, I'll catch up in a while."

The three-point land across the road at the entrance of the village was originally a slope overgrown with weeds, but it was cultivated little by little when his grandfather was there.

His grandfather is gone, so his father will help the old lady plant, and the old lady can't stay idle, helping her plant, and she herself has to go back and forth twice a day, for fear of things being stolen.

"Don't pick the corn randomly, don't pick the unripe ones." Seeing that the children had started breaking the corn, Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped them.

"Oh, we know how to pick corn. Only when the whiskers behind the tail of the corn are black can we pick it. We know it!" Ye Chenghai, who is the oldest, is 12 years old.

Several children were immediately submerged in the corn bushes, and the youngest, Ye Chengyang, also struggled to get down, so Ye Yaodong put him down and let him play by himself, and took the sack from the old lady's hand for Ye Chenghai to pack.

"That's enough, first pick 20, and each of you can pick three. Don't pick too much, come back tomorrow morning."

"Ah, don't you want to break a few more?" Ye Chenghai looked at the two corns in his hand with some regret, and could only break one more.

"Pick a few a day and eat them. If you pick them all, you will sell them, and you will have nothing to eat."

"Forget it, let's break a few a day."

There are many people and the efficiency is high. In a short while, they picked the corn. The old lady also picked a basket full of vegetables and melons. There are big and small ones. The small ones are as big as fists, and the big ones are like mallets. .

Ye Yaodong carried a small bag of corn on his shoulder, and took the basket from the old lady's hand, "I'll get the things, you go slowly."

Looking at a group of children again, "Have they all come out? One, two, three, four, five, six... Is there another one? Who? Where's Ye Chenghu?"

"Ye Chenghu!" He raised his voice and shouted into the corn bushes.

"I'm here, dad!" Ye Chenghu answered from the upper slope holding up the corn, and then walked down with the corn in his arms.

Ye Yaodong looked at the corn cobs he had opened with his jacket, "Picked from above?"

"You child, why did you go to someone else's house to pick it?" The old lady looked down the road and said in a low voice.

"Ah, isn't the corn all from our family?"

"Only here belongs to our family!"

Ye Chenghu scratched his head, "I thought all the corn here belonged to our family!"

Ye Yaodong put down the basket, and cheerfully threw all the corn in his arms into the sack, "It's okay, as long as no one sees it, when you were young, your father thought that the whole mountain belonged to our family, pick whatever you want!"

The old lady warned in a low voice, "Next time, you can't pick other people's. If you see it, you will be scolded."

"Not only that, but also being chased all over the mountain!"

"Father, have you ever been chased by someone?"

"Mountains and seas, you have played everything you can play, let's go, go home." Ye Yaodong carried the corn on his shoulders again!

"Wait, there's still Yangyang!" The old lady held Ye Yaodong who was about to leave.

"Oh yes! I almost forgot about this guy!"

He looked around, but he didn't see his younger son, so he asked the children to look for it, and put down the things himself.

"These ones are only a little fart, but they can run so well, where are they hiding?"

"Here, Third Uncle, Yang Yang sits on the ground and eats vegetables and melons!"

Ye Yaodong walked towards the direction of the sound, and saw his youngest son sitting on the ground, holding a vegetable melon bigger than his face, looking at everyone innocently.

The vegetable melon was still growing on the vine, and the skin had already been eaten by him before it was picked off, so it was hard for him to find a long one.

"Why did you hide here and eat?"

"father!"

Ye Chengyang lifted up the vegetable melon in his hand and wanted to hand it to his father, but he didn't have enough strength, so he fell down as soon as he lifted it up. As a result, the vegetable melon hanging on the vine flicked and hit his forehead. He couldn't sit still and fell down. on all fours...

"Hahaha~"

"Hahahaha~ idiot~"

The children gloated mercilessly!
Ye Yaodong also couldn't laugh or cry looking at his youngest son who was not crying or fussing on the ground, and turned over, using his hands and feet to get up.

"You're covered in dirt, you're so dirty, you and your brother will be scolded together when you go back."
