Chapter 1045: Wishful Thinking (10,000 words, 18 monthly votes)(2/4)
When he said that his mouth was dry, the fat man's face was full of admiration, "Dongzi, you know so much, and you think so far."
"Where? I'm just a little smarter than you."
He takes back what he just said.
"I didn't say anything, but my wife just asked me to come out to buy mushrooms and stuffing. I had to go buy them back quickly, otherwise, she would have to tell me again."
"Almost two hours have passed, and you just came to tell me that she asked you to buy mushrooms. She probably thought you went out for a fast food meal."
"What?"
"No, you'd better go back and be scolded. If you confess, you'll be lenient, if you resist, you'll be lenient."
"I'll go back right away."
The fat man left in a hurry. Ye Yaodong saw that it was almost 4 o'clock, so he hurriedly pedaled his bicycle back.
This time, I was delayed and went straight to the meal time. I originally planned to take it back and give it to them as snacks in the middle of the afternoon, but now I have to hide it first to avoid everyone staring at the snacks.
He slowly arrived home humming a song, but the house was empty except for Ah Qing, who was sitting alone in the yard choosing vegetables.
"Huh? Why are you sitting alone in the yard picking vegetables? Where are the old and the young?"
"Why didn't you come back until now? The old ones went to the workshop to listen to gossip, and the younger ones went to the open space to feed the sheep."
"Did you bring the lamb back?"
"I brought it home early in the afternoon. Everyone was almost reluctant to go to school. They all clamored to herd the sheep at home. They were beaten after a while before they were willing to leave. Dad even used bamboo pieces to simply build a small nest at the back door."
"Put away the snacks in the basket and give them to them after the meal. I'll take a look."
There is also open space on the side, which has not been covered with houses. Because it rained a few days ago and the weather is warm, grass has grown on the ground. There is not enough food for a large number of sheep, but only three lambs are enough to eat.
God's.
There were 9 or 10 children in the family, all gathered around there, as well as the surrounding neighbors. They all worked hard to pull grass and feed it to the lamb's mouth, so that the lamb didn't need to eat it by itself.
It's nothing more than opening your mouth to eat.
"Have you finished your homework? Everyone is gathered around here."
"Let's do it after dinner, Third Uncle, the lamb is so cute."
"What does the lamb call?" Ye Yaodong smiled and touched Ye Xiaoxi's head and asked.
"Mea~"
"Mea~"
"Mea~"
He asked Ye Xiaoxi, and the sounds of lambs kept coming.
Each one of them excitedly imitated the cry of the sheep, and put their hands on their heads to act as the horns of the lamb. They also spread their legs to imitate the lamb's walk, imitating the four different characteristics.
"These three sheep will be taken care of by you from now on."
"Don't worry, Uncle San, we will definitely raise them big."
All of them surrounded the three sheep with great interest and kept feeding them vegetables. They couldn't even call them back, so Ye Yaodong just ignored them.
When it was time to eat, each one reluctantly took the lamb back to its new nest, washed its hands and ate.
Ye's mother also kept an eye on the day for him to sail back, and set it for three days. His mother said that this time she would only need to set off a few firecrackers, instead of giving out candy cakes everywhere in such a grand way.
After all, he has sailed a new ship so many times, and has sent cakes so many times, there is no need to continue, and the sense of ritual can be reduced relatively.
Of course Ye Yaodong has no objection. He already has several boats like this. There is no need to make it grand every time. There are many more boats behind him. With so much money, he might as well donate it to Mazu.
However, a few children interrupted and shouted that they wanted to eat candy cakes, but unfortunately they didn't get to eat them.
"There's chicken cake!" Ye Xiaoxi interrupted and shouted.
Ye Chenghu replied, "Where did you get the chicken cake? You think so."
"Sister eats the whip, I eat the chicken cake."
"My memory is pretty good. I told her about chicken cakes in the afternoon and I remember it till now."
"She can remember for many days, maybe even for several months." Lin Xiuqing peeled the shrimps for the two little ones with a smile.
"There really is chicken cake!"
"Yes, Dad?"
"Yes, I'll bring it to you after dinner. Today is your sister's birthday, so I bought chicken cakes and other snacks this afternoon. You have to wish her a happy birthday before you can eat them."
The two boys shouted happy birthday to Ye Xiaoxi one after another. They were so happy that she kept grinning with her teeth bared.
After the meal, Ye Chenghu took the chicken cake and ran next door to show off, and even the brothers and sisters next door came over to shout happy birthday.
Ye Yaodong also stayed with them and asked them to sit at the same table, sing happy birthday together, and eat snacks together. Although there was no big cake, there were snacks at least, and it seemed to have a sense of ceremony.
After eating the snacks, the envious children ran home and asked when was their birthday and if they could celebrate it?
I almost got beaten again.
Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang also kept asking Lin Xiuqing, when is their birthday? Can they also invite everyone to come over to celebrate their birthday like their sisters?
"Then you should use your pocket money to buy snacks and treat everyone to a birthday."
"don't want!"
"I don't want it either."
"My sister also spends her own money. Her money is all stored with us, so we celebrate it for her. If you want to celebrate your birthday, take out the private money you have hidden."
"I don't want a birthday."
"I don't want it either. I want to wait for my sister's birthday next year."
"Two cheapskates."
After they also ran out to play, Ye Yaodong started chatting with Lin Xiuqing.
"We will sail the ship in three days. Then we will sail this ship in the near future. When the big ship is repaired, we will switch to a bigger ship."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the TV and nodded without turning her head, "You just have to figure it out. It's just a good time to rest at home for a few days and continue to go to sea. It's safer to go back the same day."
"Would you like to take you out to sea?"
"Nervous, what am I going to do? The whole family is still waiting for me to organize, and the two little ones have to sleep with me at night, so there is nowhere to go."
That's true.
"By the way, I heard this afternoon that Mouse and his wife are divorcing."
"Leaving? So soon?"
Ye Yaodong was surprised. He thought that the two of them would be separated for a long time, and then they might be able to live together reluctantly later.
"We are about to divorce, and we have been arguing about it for more than half a month. In the afternoon, I heard from the women in the workshop that there was another quarrel in the afternoon, and they have decided to divorce. They said they would apply for a divorce certificate early tomorrow morning."
"Then how to divide it?"
"How to divide what? The family is so poor, what can be divided? Just let his wife go back to her parents' home."
"Where's the child?"
"The two sons, whose surname is Chen, must stay in her husband's family. How can they bring her back to her parents' family? Moreover, their family doesn't want them. How can they afford to raise so many mouths? What's more, how can they remarry with children? Who wants to raise them for others?
If the son is a daughter, maybe he can be taken away."
"Have you already thought about remarrying?"
"You're only 30 years old and you can still have children. Why can't you remarry? A bad reputation is only bad in the village. Other villages don't know about it. It's easy to find an old bachelor to marry."
That's right. As long as a woman can have children these days, are she afraid that no one will want her?
As long as the man's family has enough food to eat, there will be women willing to marry.
They have very low requirements for each other, and they all live together together.
"It's too anxious to remarry right after getting divorced."
"If we don't remarry as soon as possible, who will be willing to take care of her when she returns to her parents' family? She's not a teenage girl. She's almost 30, has a bad reputation, and is divorced. My family must want to get rid of her as soon as possible."
Ye Yaodong's disgusted flat mouth stopped saying anything.
"I heard that Mouse was beaten to the point where he couldn't get out of bed during this period. The brothers at home will have to help him carry him to get a divorce tomorrow."
"It's pretty miserable."
"That's not all because of you. Rumors in the village now say that it was his father-in-law and brother-in-law's family that he asked someone to beat, so that family is not someone to be trifled with. It also made him unable to get out of bed for almost half a month."
"What a misfortune~ Our workshop is pretty good. From now on, you will know all the big and small things in the village, including which hen lays eggs."
"It's true. Our family bought three lambs, and we're going to bring a new boat back in the next two days. We also donated 500 yuan for Mazu's birthday, and the news has spread throughout the village."
"Did you say that, or did my mother say it?"
Lin Xiuqing smiled, "My mother said the first two words, and the old lady said the last two. There is no difference between the two of them. They have always said in the workshop that you are blessed by Mazu, so everything is safe, and dangers are turned into safety.
Make a lot of money. Talk about Mazu’s birthday. You are also very thoughtful and want to express your feelings."
