Because of a fight in the morning, several children were all locked up at home and not allowed to go out.

Although he was not beaten after being dragged home, he was still scolded. The reason why he was not beaten was entirely because today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and adults were still a little taboo, so they had to wait until after the New Year to settle accounts after the autumn.

"It's a great New Year", this four-character motto is a gold medal to avoid death, and it can be applied anywhere.

By the time it was almost noon, most of the relatives gathered in front of the house had dispersed. Only the children were still running and jumping outside without any worries.

All the members of the Ye family were locked up at home and forced to stand still, and were not allowed to go anywhere.

I don’t know how it became popular. Originally, only Ye Chenghu was punished by standing still every day, and now even the two families next door also like to make their children stand for punishment.

We couldn't fight today, so we let them stand all morning.

It's just boring to stand for a long time.

After Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang stood there next to each other for a long time, they swayed their hips side to side, as if they were twisting their buttocks.

Lin Xiuqing was cooking, and it was a bit irritating to her eyes, "You two stand separately."

The two brothers took a step to the side in unison.

However, after a while, the two of them moved together again with a wink.

This time they no longer swayed next to each other, but instead pressed their butts against the wall, squirming up and down and rubbing together, not knowing what they looked like.

Fortunately, the walls are not white and gray, but made of yellow mud, so they are not completely white.

Ye Yaodong was a little hot in the sun outside. He came in to take a sip of tea and watched the two of them leaning against the wall, rubbing their butts up and down.

"What are you doing? Are you covered in fleas?"

The two quickly stood up straight, motionless, but Lin Xiuqing also saw it.

"Standing still, you are swaying your buttocks next to each other, and then against the wall. What are you doing?"

"My feet are sore..."

"After running outside for a day, you don't feel your feet are sore, but your feet are sore after standing for a while?"

"no the same……"

"What's different?"

Ye Chenghu couldn't tell. It seemed that he didn't feel tired even after running around all day. But standing still like this made him feel so tired. It felt so uncomfortable to not move even once...

"Yangyang, stand opposite your brother." Lin Xiuqing said.

"Ah? Do you want to stand opposite my brother?"

Ye Chengyang looked at everyone in confusion, then moved his steps, changed his position, and stood in front of Ye Chenghu.

The two brothers were separated by one head. Now one raised his head and the other lowered his head, looking at each other.

"That's it, mutual supervision."

But the two of them, you look at me and I look at you, keep looking at each other. I don’t know why, but I can’t help but want to laugh...

I haven't stood there for two minutes, but my shoulders are shaking and I'm suppressing laughter.

"Hahahaha...you are so stupid..."

"You are stupid..."

Lin Xiuqing looked at these two annoying boys with a headache. She wished she could pick up the fire tongs and give them to each of them.

Ye Yaodong walked over, held Ye Chengyang and stood facing the wall.

In this way, one looks forward and the other looks at the wall, which is harmonious.

"That's it, we will stand like this from now on, without affecting each other."

She shook her head helplessly, "I really want to start school as soon as possible. If I can't see them, I'll have a headache just looking at them."

"It's almost time. School will start on the 15th day of the first lunar month. I'll have to wait for a few more days."

"Mother...mother...want to drink tea..." Ye Xiaoxi came running in happily from outside before anyone arrived.

Ye Yaodong stood up and took a bowl and poured it for her.

She held a bowl that was bigger than her face and scanned the room with her eyes while drinking. When she saw the strange posture of her two brothers, she stopped drinking immediately.

After putting down the bowl, he immediately ran to have a look at his two brothers.

She looked left and right, running back and forth around the two of them.

"Brother...what are you doing?"

Ye Chengyang looked down at her and said nothing.

But after a while, he whispered to her: "Go and get a ball. Any ball will do."

"What to do?"

"Go get it."

Ye Xiaoxi fumbled and brought him a volleyball.

Ye Chengyang placed the volleyball in front of him, right against the wall and stuck in the middle.

He was satisfied and now he was not bored anymore.

Ye Chenghu kept peeking at them with his eyes. When he saw this, he asked Ye Xiaoxi to get a ball. He directly held the ball with his back.

Now both brothers feel comfortable.

But Lin Xiuqing was not feeling well, so she could make them come up with tricks no matter what.

"Are you thinking that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year and I won't beat you? Are you thinking that if you save up some money, you can give me a good beating all at once?"

She said as she took the ball away.

"I was thinking that today would be the first day of junior high school and I wouldn't let you write a copybook. Now write it for me. Write ten pages."

The two brothers were relieved. They could sit down and write ten pages. They were not allowed to go out anyway.

Now at least there is hope, and I can go out and play after finishing writing.

So when it was time for dinner, the whole family was eating there, and the two brothers were drooling with pens in hand looking at the food on the table, but they couldn't write a word.

This feeling is more painful than standing still.

At least I just stood there and smelled the aroma of the food. I could choose not to look at it, but now I had to look at it.

The pain is doubled.

Both of them had teeth marks on their pens, but Ye Xiaoxi always commented on how delicious every dish he ate.

"Hmm...the shrimps are delicious..."

“The fish is delicious…”

“The eggs are delicious too…”

This kind of thing didn't stop from the time it was served until she was full.

Both brothers looked at her with hatred, but when she spoke, they couldn't help but look over.

The nib of the pen in my hand was broken, and the copybook was full of holes.

The adults at the table just watched without stopping.

After finally staying up until the whole family got down from the table, the two of them thought that they would be able to eat. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiuqing had nothing to do to supervise their work and watch them write.

If I haven't finished writing, I won't be able to be a guest tomorrow.

They can only shed tears into their stomachs and seize the time to write.

If you are late, please ask Ye Chenghe to compensate!

Who is the reason why they are so miserable...

Ye Chenghe was even worse than them. He had to be beaten during the Chinese New Year because his new clothes and pants were torn during the fight, but he remained silent and carried it on.

But there was a house in the middle, so no one heard anything.

The adults were not affected at all and continued to play cards together in the afternoon with the same group of relatives.

I don’t know if I agreed to stay with them all day, men and women, old and young.

Ye Yaodong also told Lin Xiuqing that they probably wanted to follow him to make a lot of money in the coming year and come over early to get close.

There are more people making money this year than last year, and they are making more money. It is popular in the whole village.

Some of these relatives also had boats with them, some rented other boats, and some went to work. Most of them probably planned to buy a boat of their own in the coming year and follow them to make a fortune.

Once this person becomes rich, all kinds of people will automatically gather around him, and all the stars will support him.

As soon as it loses momentum, the birds and beasts disperse.

After the two brothers Ye Chenghu worked hard all day, they were even more prosperous the next day.

They got up early in the morning and advertised everywhere that they were going to grandma's house by car to pay New Year's greetings.

Grandma's house is far away, which makes them proud. They can travel far away to pay New Year's greetings without having to walk in the village. There is no novelty at all.
