Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 137

  Chapter 137 Going to the field

On the second day, Ye Yaodong got up and went to burn incense as usual. When he came back, he happened to meet Ye's father carrying a hoe, holding a watering can, a bag of something like seeds, and a sack, which he didn't know what to put in it. what.

   "Father, where are you going?"

   "Go dig some potatoes and come back to cook pickled vegetable soup at noon. The younger ones like to eat potatoes, so that they don't have to talk about vegetables during meals. By the way, sprinkle some radish and cabbage seeds."

   "Let me go with you. If you want more seeds after planting, I will plant one of them. The field that was opened yesterday has not been planted yet."

   "There are many, let's go."

  He quickly followed.

  Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang got up early in the morning, and when they heard their father said that they were going to the field, they quickly hugged one of his legs to express their willingness to follow.

   "What are you guys doing? When you come back covered in dirt, your mother will scold you again."

   "I want to follow, I want to follow!"

  The other children were carrying their schoolbags and stood aside enviously. They also wanted to play in the fields instead of going to school...

"Still dawdling there, go to school quickly, every day you can't get up, or you are not willing to leave until someone reminds you, every day you have to wait until it is dark and you have enough fun before rushing to work, I paid you to go to school , not to let you..."

  As soon as the children heard the chanting, they quickly covered their ears and slipped away...

  Ye Yaodong seemed to have two weights hanging on his feet, and he couldn't even lift them up. Two pairs of eyes were still looking at him eagerly, and he was tugging at his pants.

  He could only tighten his belt, "Don't pull it, my pants are about to fall off, go, go, go, go, come back and beat your mother, I don't care."

   "Oh oh~ let's go~"

   The two of them were so happy that they ran away immediately, chasing Father Ye, not caring whether their mother would beat them or not.

  Ye Yaodong went back to the house and told his wife that he took the two children to the field so that she would not be able to find them after a while. She can also relax by taking the two children away.

In the past two days, the couple did not talk about the issue of whether the child will be born, because she herself is not very sure, she does not remember her menstrual period very clearly, even if she has symptoms of pregnancy, she dare not go for a checkup, for fear of finding out , didn't even give her a chance to think about it.

  Ye Yaodong didn't dare to ask. Seeing her tone of voice at the time, she was more inclined to give birth. Now the two of them can only pretend that there is no such thing for the time being, or can it be said that they are acquiescing? Let nature take its course? Anyway, let's do it first.

  When Lin Xiuqing heard the words, the two children had already run far away. She hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice: "Don't run around and make trouble, don't let me get dirty on you, be good..."

   None of the two responded, and ran away bouncing around.

  Their family's vegetable field was also planted by Ye's father when he ran to the mountains when he was free. Like a terraced field, this small plot is full of potatoes, which is less than 30 square meters.

  There are still a few plots of land above, where other vegetables were originally grown, but they were all picked and eaten when building the house, and only a little green seedlings grew out of the sprinkled seeds, which cannot be seen for the time being.

  Ye Chenghu looked east and west, but he couldn't find anything to pick. “Where is it?”

   "It's right next to you, get out of the way, and pick it up after I plan it out."

Ye Yaodong took the **** in Father Ye's hand and hoeed it under the soil, and immediately round potatoes popped out and hung on the roots. The big one was about the size of a woman's fist, the small one was only the size of a coin, and the two small ones Immediately squatted down and happily picked it up.

  In order to find something for them to do and not make trouble, he hoeed a whole row of potatoes, and Father Ye was also helping them pick potatoes.

Ye Yaodong immediately turned over the ground, then dug small pits with a hoe, sprinkled a handful of plant ash in each pit, and sprayed the watering can that Ye's father had just filled with water, and then the radish Put the seeds in the pit and cover with a thin layer of soil.

  As for the vegetable cover, he glanced around the vegetable field, as if there was no extra space to plant.

   "Father, there is no place to scatter the cabbage seeds?"

   "Plan this in your grandma's small piece of land. You go there and turn over the land first, and sprinkle all the seeds on it. After the seedlings emerge, you can move them to your new home separately."

"oh."

  Father Ye called him again, "Leave the **** to me, you go to dismantle the shelf first, the bean shelf below is not removed."

"oh."

  He put the two children here and continued to pick potatoes, first going to the old lady's small field, and there was a short distance between the two fields.

  After the corn was planted in the old lady's field, beans were planted immediately after that, and they were all picked a few days ago, but the shelf that was built has not been removed.

  Thinking about the work in the field, it is not easy to live a good life, so he slowly dismantled it by himself.

  After all the plants were planted, the sun was high, and the two children sat on the ground and had fun. You threw it over, and I threw it over. Ye Chengyang's body was covered with soil by his brother, even on his head.

  Ye Yaodong's head grew big when he saw it, and he strode forward to pick up the two, "Your skin is itchy, aren't you?"

   After speaking, he looked at Father Ye again, "I'll take these two home first."

   "Dad, are you going home for potato soup?"

   "Eat the whip!"

   "I don't want to eat the whip..."

   "It's up to you!"

  Ye Chenghu was slipped into his hand by him, and he suddenly froze, but Ye Chengyang still smiled happily, "Feifei~Dad, Feifei~"

  Ye Yaodong glanced at him helplessly, and quickly carried the two back. The son is really too naughty. If the child in his stomach is born, it seems that it would be good to be a daughter.

  When he grows up, he won't be as angry with him as the two sons, will he? She should... be filial... right?

   Don't let his wife go up to the mountains to pick tea in March next year. She should be able to escape and give birth safely... right?

  Thinking about things in his heart, and thinking about the beautiful imagination after having a daughter, he walked all the way back.

  When Lin Xiuqing saw the appearance of the two children, her face turned dark immediately, "How many sets of clothes do you need to change a day? Your skin is itchy, do you want to eat whips?"

   "Don't..." Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ye Chenghu was about to hide behind his wife, but Lin Xiuqing grabbed the back collar, "My brother's head is full of dirt, did you do it?"

"not me…"

   "Ang~ I'll give you the whip..." Ye Yaodong timely handed over a handful of thin bamboo strips tied with red rope.

   "Ah~ Dad~ You are so cruel~ Auntie, save me~ Save me~"

   "I haven't fought yet, why are you howling?"

"I'm going to hit it soon... oh~ it hurts~" He grabbed his hands in mid-air indiscriminately, leaning forward desperately, trying to escape, but his collar was tightly grasped, and he couldn't escape. Walking around and jumping in place, he yelled wildly.

  The old lady smiled and watched from the sidelines. She was almost able to beat him, so she rescued him. Boys can't do without beating!

  Ye Chenghu felt the burning pain in his calf, and looked at the old lady with tears in his eyes, "Auntie, how did you save me?"

"Boys with thick skin need to be beaten. Let's go. I'll take you to wash your hands and eat persimmons. It won't hurt if you eat them sweet. Come quickly, Dongzi. The persimmons you brought back the day before yesterday are more than half ripe and ready to eat. "

  Ye Chenghu pouted and followed.

  Ye Yaodong responded but looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Are you tired?"

  She glared at him, "Didn't you say anything about you yet? The two of you took them out to play like this, so I don't think it's a little bit better."

   "Then do you want to beat me up too?"

  Hearing this, Lin Xiuqing really hit him on the thigh with a whip.

   "Fuck, I'm just talking, but you really hit me?"

   "You've said that, I'm still being polite to you?"

   "Hurry up and give the child a bath and shampoo."

   After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he quickly followed the old lady.

The persimmons brought back the day before yesterday were still green. Mother Ye wiped their stalks with white vinegar and wrapped them in old newspapers. After two days of storage, they were half ripe this morning. This is their local method. It cooks so fast.

  Have the children in the family been familiar with it all day long? If you don't ripen it, adults can't resist it.

  The half bag of persimmons that I brought back were all harvested, and I didn't scrape the skin to dry the persimmon cakes, which was too laborious.

  He took one casually, picked it off gently, and the stem fell off, broke into two halves, and handed half to the old lady.

  The old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes and took it.

   After eating some, Ye Chenghu immediately put away his tears and ate several in a row before stopping.

   "Are you done? Go to your mother when you're done and ask her to wipe you and change your clothes."

  Ye Chenghu tilted his head, turned his head away, and snorted through his nose. He still remembers his grudge, but his father handed his mother a whip just now!

   "Brat!"

  Ye Yaodong ignored him, looked at the plantains he picked yesterday, they were all still green and unripe, so he picked two prettier persimmons and went into the house to give to his wife.
