Return to the small fishing village of 1982

Everyone in the family has seen the farce just now. From beginning to end, Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were lying when they said they were not envious. Even their little sister Ye Huimei was very envious.

Although the old lady was very kind to the younger ones, she couldn't be compared to Ye Yaodong. She only cared about him in her heart.

They have four brothers and sisters, and more than a dozen cousins. I heard that he was the only one who was delivered by grandma herself, and he was almost born on the beach before he could make it.

Then as soon as he was born, he smiled at her while holding him in his hands, which immediately affected her eyes and caused pain from childhood to adulthood.

As soon as he entered the room, Father Ye was still angry, smoking a hookah and staring at him!

To be honest, he still didn't understand until now. Which sentence was wrong? Let his parents explode together!

manner?

Or do you hate iron over time?

He thought to himself, just these two, otherwise why would his parents be so angry?

"Where is Caigua? I asked you to leave one for Dongzi. Did you leave one?"

As soon as the old lady sat down, she saw a group of children each holding a piece of melon and gnawing there, and asked quickly, fearing that Ye Yaodong had not eaten it.

Ye Yaodong's younger sister Ye Huimei said while eating: "Keep it, put it on the stove, third brother can take it by himself."

Everyone cut it up and ate it, but he was alone!

Moreover, everyone is not surprised, even the children have no objections, the third uncle is special!

Ye Yaodong looked at the green cauliflower melons on the stove. They were oval in shape and only a little longer than an adult's hand. He just saw a few that were very long and big, like sticks. They must have been cut into pieces and eaten. The youngest was left to him.

This was his favorite melon. Many people grew it at this time and it was very cheap. In later generations, few people grew this variety. They were all white-skinned and round melons. He had not eaten it for many years.

He walked towards the earthen stove and saw that the melons had been washed clean and there were still water drops on them.

Looking at the cutting board and knife on the stove, there were still juices and seeds. He also put the melon on it and cut it into large pieces. He picked up a vegetable plate and walked towards his grandma.

"Grandma, you eat one too!"

The old lady waved her hand with a smile, "I have no teeth, I can't bite. You eat, you eat. Why did you cut it..."

Although he really wanted to eat, he wouldn't have it all to himself. There were only a few of them, and his family had a large population.

Seeing that the old lady really had no teeth to chew, he handed another piece to each of his two children, and took another piece to his wife.

This behavior made Lin Xiuqing look sideways again.

Judging from the past, shouldn't he just pick it up and chew it? Why did he cut it up and share it with everyone?

After Lin Xiuqing took it, he took a piece for himself, and put the rest on the table for everyone to help themselves.

"Third brother, have you changed your gender?"

"Isn't it enough to stop your mouth?"

Ye Huimei pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything anymore.

Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady again and said with a smile: "Now there is a kind of dentures that you wear when eating. You can bite meat and other things. You can wash them after eating and they can be used again next time. I will go there tomorrow Ask around in the city where you can buy one, and buy one for grandma, so that you can eat meat and anything!"

"Oh, don't waste that money. Half of my body is about to be buried. I can just mix it with rice porridge, fermented bean curd, and I have to fast for half of the month..."

"You can eat meat on days when you are not fasting, that's it!"

"I'm already at this age, why should I eat meat? Fish is not as delicious as meat. We seasiders can just eat fish." The old lady's face was full of smiles, and she was actually very happy and benefited from it!

"Fish is as good as fish, meat is as good as meat, we all eat it."

Everyone in the room watched their interaction, thinking that the third child still had some conscience towards the old lady, and it was not in vain that the old lady loved him so much.

At this time, Ye Mu came in after peeling the corn husks, and the eldest daughter-in-law greeted her, "Mom, let me cook it."

"If it's okay, I'll come. You can go look after the child."

The old lady looked at Father Ye and said, "I see that the corn silk has turned black and is almost ripe. In two days, you can break the corn cobs with me to avoid leaving it in the ground for too long. It will become too old and not delicious."

Father Ye held the hookah and glared, "I don't have time. The boat has just been repaired. Taking advantage of the new manpower, I have to take the boss and the second child out to sea a few more times to see if I can catch more big things! The third child is ready You have nothing to do during the day, so you ask him to take a few little ones with him, and he will just pick them up and bring them back."

"It's strange that he can move. He doesn't see anyone all day long. I'll take the children and accompany my mother to break it." Mother Ye grabbed a handful of straw, took a match to light the fire, and threw it into the stove. Go over the top.

As soon as he said that the third child couldn't carry the grain, Father Ye thought of how he had been asked to carry grain a few years ago and ended up carrying it into a ditch. He was so angry that he was almost dead!

"What's the use? Such a big man can't even pick up millet and corn..."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

It’s all about sesame seeds and rotten millet. His father can remember it so well, although... although he was indeed a bit useless when he was young...

However, when he was reborn, he already planned to change his mind and become a good person...

Lin Xiuqing felt that it was not good for her man to be disliked by her father in front of so many people, so she quickly changed the subject and saved Ye Yaodong.

"Mom, it's the first day of junior high school in two days. The tide has receded very low recently. Don't we have to go fishing in the sea?"

"It's okay, no delay, there is such a large group of children here, let the third child take them to break the corn cobs, tell me when they are done, and I will pick them."

Ye Yaodong didn't say a word, everything was already arranged for him. In fact, he wanted to say that he could do it...

But he swallowed it back, and couldn't rush to show off, lest it be too abnormal, he would just pick it back when the time comes.

Because their family was poor and could not afford to build a house, they never separated. They always ate and drank together as a family.

It's just that each house keeps the money they earn from doing casual labor and making fishing nets. Because they rely on the sea to eat, and the seaside products are rich, they eat and drink by relying on the land and fishing, and they don't need to spend money, so their family doesn't have to. What a contradiction.

All the money his father earned was used to repair the boat. After all, it was left behind by his father. Repairing a boat was more cost-effective than building or buying one.

As a seaside person, who doesn’t long for a boat so that they can go out to sea to fish and improve their lives at home?

Father Ye also wanted it, so he has been making money in the past two years to repair the boat.

Now that the boat is repaired and can go to sea, of course he must be more diligent and take the two boys at home to go fishing. Anyway, the third child is incurable. When the conditions at home improve, he can be rescued.

Seeing that the whole family was busy, and even the third child was assigned to work, the old lady was afraid that he would not be happy, so she quickly said: "There is no rush to break the corn. It doesn't matter if it is a few days late. I just bring a basket back every day to satisfy everyone's appetite. It will be all right at once." Breaking it back is nothing new."

Mother Ye didn't even turn her head, just stared at the fire in the stove, "Just don't worry, it's not worth much anyway, so don't set up a stall to sell it, just break off a little bit and eat it every day. If you're too old, just keep it." Make seeds, and when it’s empty, we’ll dig up the ground for you.”
