"I won't let you graze my sheep!"

"What's so great!"

"I just won't let you go!"

"Then you look after the lamb alone, and we go pick wild strawberries."

Several people looked at each other disgustedly. After dividing the food equally, they each sat at the door and ate with a bowl in their hands, ignoring each other.

But after the meal, they reconciled again and happily took the lamb out again.

The envious Ye Xiaoxi wanted to follow them, but she couldn't keep up with them and was left behind by them. In the end, she could only run home angrily and shed tears. She complained that her brothers didn't take her and insisted on asking Ye Yaodong to take her up the mountain too.

How could he have such free time? In the morning, he asked his brothers to cut down a bunch of branches and tied them there all morning, but they hadn't finished tying them yet.

After coaxing and deceiving her, he asked her to sit aside and asked Father Ye to weave a small basket for her. Only when she had the basket could she go up the mountain to pick it, and she calmed down.

Father Ye just had another job to do, but he enjoyed it seeing his granddaughter sitting on either side of him, lying on his knees and watching him weave baskets.

When I got excited, I made a lifelike little grasshopper for them, which made them scream happily. After getting it, they happily ran around the workshop.

Ye Yaodong also admires his father's craftsmanship. The older generation are really versatile and rely on their own handicrafts for everything. They are so old and powerful, unlike him.

"Who is like you? You can carry two bags of millet into the ditch."

Ye Yaodong turned his head and looked at his younger brother who was also tying branches next to him. Both of them looked at him curiously.

He felt a little embarrassed and glanced at his father angrily.

If I mention this again, I should have known better than to praise him.

No wonder his mother hates his father more and more now.

"Your grandpa can also weave dragonflies, let him make another one for you."

"Just one is enough. If you weave anything else, it will take a lot of effort. The basket is not even finished yet."

But the two girls ran back happily and shouted, "More~More~"

"I still want~father-in-law~I want~I want~"

The two of them were tugging at Father Ye's sleeves, and kept shouting sweetly. Father Ye had no choice but to smile helplessly and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I will make two more dragonflies for you, just right."

I'll carry it in the basket for you to play with."

"Okay, okay, grandpa is so awesome~"

"Father-in-law~amazing~"

Father Ye's face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with laughter. He did nothing all afternoon. He only wove baskets, dragonflies and grasshoppers for the two girls. They were coquettishly coquettish and wanted to win, weaving one after another.

one.

After the other children in the family came back and saw them all clamoring for them, Father Ye drove them away impatiently.

"What else do you want? Do you want farts? How old are you? You're not old yet, are you? You still want to play this? Didn't I make it up for you when you were young? Go, go, don't get in the way here, go and play your own game."

"lue~"

"You have to wait~"

"Wait for me~"

The older one and the younger ones all disappeared in a hurry. Now they were quiet, but it was also quiet. It was better to have two girls around.

Ye's father also took time out to talk to him about the fishing boat.

"Your eldest and second brother's boats will be delivered within a month, which is about the time after Mazu was born, right? Then by then, you will definitely have to end your cooperation on the two boats that are currently open."

Ye Yaodong had already thought of this, "If I know that I have a boat, I will definitely drive my own. I don't care. I can just take back the boat my second brother is driving now and sublease it to others. It won't make any difference."

"

"It's easy to talk about the boat you took out to join them. Just bring it back when the time comes. It's the old boat I gave to your eldest and second brother. I don't know what their plan is."

"Just ask them to return it to you directly. Anyway, they have their own new ship and they don't have time to sail the old ship. Originally, you gave it to them directly later without asking them to pay for it, although at the beginning

We charge some rent, but that’s what we should do.”

Father Ye frowned and was a little confused, "There are so many ships, it's really troublesome. I don't know what their plan is. Give it to me. I don't have time to drive it, and I can't pick up the goods. I have to help you sail the ship."

.”

"Why are you booking so many ships? What can I learn from you? They don't have that many manpower. Now they don't know who to entrust the ship to."

He didn't care what his eldest brother and his second brother wanted to do with the old ship. After all, after they got their ship, he just had to take his own ship back.

"Don't be afraid that no one will rent it. In the future, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law will just keep an eye on the delivery. If the elder brother returns the old boat and you are not free, I will have someone take over your boat too. Then the goods will be shipped."

Just give it to my mother alone, it's just a boat, it can't be messed up."

"Then let's talk about it. It has to be after the flood season and Mazu Temple's birthday. Let's see what they plan. If they can't bear it, let them keep it. I won't have to worry about it. Anyway, I'll give it a try.

At my age, I can’t work for a few years.”

"If you can't work for a few more years, you can come to my place to check the door, bask in the sun and brag about your skills."

"Blowing the sea breeze is enough. Why do you want to brag about your awesomeness? If I have anything awesome to brag about, treat me as your mother..."

"You old guy, what did you say about me again? I know you are very evil-minded. You must have said bad things about me behind my back. I caught you now."

As soon as Ye's mother's voice came out, Father Ye jumped up in fright and panicked.

I really can't say bad things about people behind their backs. I was caught before I even started talking, but I couldn't defend myself.

"Where did I say bad things about you? Where did my ears go? I am deaf even before I am 70 or 80 years old. My mother's ears are better than yours."

"I obviously heard you mention me, but it wasn't a good thing..."

"Don't be so messy. Dongzi said that when I can't do anything anymore, come over and show him the door. There will still be someone to talk to..."

"So you mean to say that I'm a fit person to come here because I'm so talkative."

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

Ye Mu glared at her.

Ye Yaodong immediately changed the subject, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"I'm calling you to eat, otherwise what else could I do?"

He checked his watch before putting down what he was doing, "It's going to be dinner time soon, let's go for a walk and eat."

Father Ye also quickly put down the work at hand, "I feel like I haven't done anything. I just worked for two girls all afternoon. If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone to my hometown to make bamboo baskets..."

"Anyway, they are watching here at night. Let them continue tying them up when they have nothing to do. We will wake up tomorrow morning and go fishing with long lines, and throw these branches into the sea. Put them down early and see if they can be harvested early.

One thing, I just saw some people who came back from the pier early, and they all said that they saw squid in the trawl."

"Your eldest and second brothers haven't come back yet. When they come back, I'll ask them and you won't go there tonight?"

"I won't go. Anyway, I know there are one or two noctilucent bugs. It's only been in the past two days. This year it's a little later than in previous years."

"The dates on the Gregorian calendar are inherently inaccurate. Last year Mazu's birthday was in mid-to-late April on the Gregorian calendar. This year's birthday is in mid-May, which is almost a month late. Even the weather is warming up a bit slowly. The squid is

Depending on the temperature, it might be a little late to lay eggs."

Ye Yaodong thought about it, and it seemed that it was true that last year Mazu's birthday was before May Day, but this year it was in mid-May.

"Then this year, on Mazu's birthday, the flood season is almost coming to an end, and the young adults in the village will probably have some free time to carry the sedan chair."

"If you don't have time, you have to find time..."

Seeing that both father and son were walking and talking about business, Ye's mother stopped making trouble.

But after sitting at the dinner table, she didn't change her gossipy nature.

"I heard that Old Man Wang went to Pei's house again today, but it was in vain. The in-laws went to sea at night, and then his mother-in-law happened to meet Ma Lifang who was coming back from doing laundry. The two cursed each other, and Ma Lifang was very angry.

I cried home."

"Didn't everyone reject it?"

"I heard that I was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to enjoy happiness, so I thought about it for two days and ran away."

"Don't be reconciled to trying to get water out of a bamboo basket. They were originally determined to get divorced because they wanted to get richer. Now that Uncle Pei is not happy, they must feel that their divorce was in vain and they didn't get any benefits."

Lin Xiuqing also intervened, "If Uncle Pei doesn't decide who to look for, I guess they won't give up so easily and will definitely come again."

"Definitely, we are the only ones in the village who have a better life than my in-laws. Others can't keep up. It just so happens that my in-laws have been alone for many years. Recently, there has been news that they want to find a partner again, but they are being targeted.

.”

"Uncle Pei will definitely not be able to shout out loud, calling Old Man Wang daddy!"

Father Ye spurted out a mouthful of soup.

"Oh, are you so disgusting? How can you eat this?" Mother Ye slapped him angrily, "I'm getting older, and the older I get, the more 'sent' I am, and I'll give you a whole table of food to eat by yourself.

.”

The others were also disgusted and looked at Father Ye with speechless words.

"This is not nonsense. I couldn't hold it back for a moment. That old man Wang is not a few years older than his in-laws. That's embarrassing enough."
