Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 230

  Chapter 230 Picking Oranges

  Ye Chenghu sat on the ground and played for a while before he felt a little bored. Everyone was picking oranges there, and he was the only one sitting there to eat.

  Eating too much will make it sour, and the teeth can't bear it, and he can't sit still.

  Using oranges to increase the height of the two circles, and surrounded the two turtles, he climbed up the hillside again and approached his father.

   "Father, I want to pick it too."

   "Have you eaten enough? Your teeth have been eaten away, and the short one next to you is just right for you to pick. Go!"

  Ye Chenghu touched his cheeks, feeling a little sore and limp, so he didn't dare to eat any more.

  The kid was not sure about it, so he turned his head to look at his two turtles after a while, and after confirming that they were still inside the oranges, they ran back to continue picking with confidence.

   It didn't bother me to go back and forth several times, and I just stopped working honestly after being scolded a few times.

  Ye Yaodong and the others sent the tractor here directly today, and the speed was a little faster. It was only nine o'clock when they arrived. After eating snacks, plus a little delay in catching **** on the way, it was more than ten o'clock when they went up the mountain.

   Before picking it for two hours, he heard Mother Lin calling for dinner.

   Turning her head and looking over, she was carrying two bamboo baskets on a pole. Inside the baskets were two buckets and two soup pots. One bucket contained bowls and chopsticks, the other bucket contained rice, and the soup bowls contained vegetables.

  Hearing that it was time to eat, the children wailed and dropped their work, and rushed down immediately, but when Ye Chenghu found that his two **** were missing, he burst into tears instantly.

   "I surrounded it with oranges, why did they crawl away?"

  Ye Yaodong also saw that the orange castle he had piled upside down, looked around, but couldn't find it.

   "Why are you crying, it crawls so slowly, it must just look around here."

   Everyone searched together, and finally found one in the grass, and the other fell down a small slope, lying there on all fours, waving its limbs wildly, but couldn't turn over.

  Ye Yaodong carried both of them into the bamboo basket that Lin's mother delivered meals to, "Put them in there so they won't run away. I'll let your grandma take them back later."

   "Leave one here, I will definitely watch him and not let him run away."

   "It's up to you, anyway, if you run away and die, I will beat you."

  Ye Chenghu pursed his mouth, and he knew how to scare him all day long! Didn't he never get beaten?

   "Hurry up and eat, I've been busy all morning, I should be hungry."

Ye Yaodong thought it was alright, he had just eaten dim sum at around nine o'clock, and he only filled half a bowl of rice, and sat on the floor. There were three dishes for lunch, a bowl of potato and pickle soup, a bowl of dried fish he brought, and a bowl of It is leek scrambled eggs.

   A group of children reached out to the scrambled eggs with leeks, filled their bowls full, and started to eat after being scolded a few times.

   One by one, they quickly picked up the food. After eating, they excitedly ran to the corner to play with turtles.

  The adults ate and chatted, mostly around Ye Yaodong, asking him how he went to sea and how he got...

   Chatted a few words casually, and after the meal, everyone continued to work non-stop.

  All afternoon, everyone was picking oranges on the mountain, and people on the next mountain were also shaking their heads, all picking oranges.

  The weather today is fine during the day. The sun came out after nine o'clock, but it was a little windy. It was a bit comfortable to pick oranges while basking in the sun on the mountain.

   It's just that in the afternoon the sun has shrunk into the clouds early, and the wind is also strong, making it a bit chilly.

When it was around 4:00, the elder brother-in-law asked him and the younger brother-in-law to help, bundle up the oranges in bags, and carry them to the trolley down the mountain. He wanted to send the oranges to the commune. Go to the commune to collect.

  Others continue to pick, and the rest can be sold tomorrow.

  But the children were no longer in the mood to pick them. They all sneaked aside to play crap.

   It wasn't until it got dark that my brother-in-law called to call it a day.

  The children cheered and rushed directly down the mountain.

  Ye Yaodong saw that there was still a small half on the top of the mountain, and he estimated that it would take another day or two to pick it all up.

  The cart has been pushed away by the brother-in-law, and the remaining bags of oranges are just right for the four of them to carry one bag each.

  Several children jumped up and down in front, fell, rolled over and got up again and continued to run. No matter how the adults told them to be careful and walk slowly, they all fell on deaf ears.

   "Ye Chenghu, remember to bring the grapefruit you just picked." Ye Yaodong shouted at him.

  Ye Chenghu braked instantly, backed up, and took the grapefruit that he had just dropped into his arms again, but he couldn't hold it even after thinking about it, and he still held the turtle in one hand.

  He licked his face again, and asked his cousin Lin Guangyuan to help him get it, and then rushed forward again laughing and joking.

  The smallest one, but the loudest one, and yelled that he would take them to the river to see the big bastard...

  Ye Yaodong was carrying oranges in the back and had to trot to keep up, but before he had walked a few steps, he heard another cry in front of him.

   "555...my egg...my egg is gone, the egg is broken...555..."

  Ye Yaodong heard a sudden pain in his head, and ran up to see Ye Chenghu squatting on the ground, tears streaming down his face, with one hand still picking up his broken egg liquid from the broken eggshell.

   "Who am I to blame for my carelessness? It's all broken, get up quickly, there is still one in your pocket, don't break it again, if it is broken, you won't have anything to eat at night."

   He wiped away his tears aggrieved, "I was not careful, it fell out of the pocket by itself."

   "If you don't run, can it fall? Walk for me, if you throw the turtle into the water, go back and take off your pants and beat it."

   "Father, let's go to the river to look for wild duck eggs later, shall we?"

   "Where are you free? Didn't you see that we are carrying oranges, go home first, it's getting dark, hurry home and eat."

   I don't know where all the energy comes from. After picking oranges all day, they are still alive and kicking, and they still want to play.

  Sister-in-law Lin and Second-sister-in-law Lin also cursed and told the children not to make trouble, so they hurried home for dinner, and then they walked back reluctantly looking at the river.

   Then a few whispered there, saying that they would come back to look for wild duck eggs tomorrow, and happily shared the process of their previous trip to the river to look for wild duck eggs...

  Passing the section of the river where Dawangba was, Ye Chenghu still had a good memory. He stopped and pointed it out to them, saying that it was at the bottom of the river.

  Just when they were excited to climb down, they were scolded by the adults again, and they gave up regretfully, and then they could only trot and continue to walk back.

  Lin Xiangyang also took a curious look when he approached the river, and then asked Ye Yaodong, "Did you really see that big bastard?"

   "Well, when I passed by in the afternoon, I saw two small turtles. When I came down to catch them, I happened to see that there was another one the size of a washbasin underneath."

"There have always been rumors in the village that there is a big buffalo in this river to protect us. It has been spread for many years, and I heard that someone caught it before and released it back. I haven't heard of it in the past few years. "

   "That should be it! It's so big, it should be a hundred years old."

  Ye Yaodong is convinced that it is just a turtle from Zhenhe. It is rare to find a wild one that grows so big. Old people who are not mature will believe it more.

   "Maybe. The small one can be grasped, but the big one cannot be moved."

"I know."

   Didn't you see that his hands are empty?

   A group of people trotted to the house one after another. Mother Lin had already cooked a large table of delicious meals, and she was waiting for them to come back for dinner.

  Ye Chenghu took out the wild duck eggs in his pocket with an aggrieved expression and handed them to Mother Lin, "Grandma, can you stew the duck eggs for me?"

   "Is there another one?"

  When I was on the mountain at noon, I was still offering treasures. She took out two Xuan, and she wanted to bring them back to him, but she refused, saying that she would put them in her pocket.

   "It fell out of my pocket while going downhill and smashed into pieces."

   "If you're so careless, then I'll save the hard-boiled eggs for you tomorrow morning. There's dinner for tonight, let's eat first."

"All right."

  The Lin family had no fewer children than their Ye family. The two brothers had three children each, and four children each. The table was full of children.

  They separated a long time ago, and they would eat together when they were busy working and farming.

  Eating together is lively when there are many people. The noise at the dining table is all the children's shouts. This one's hands are not long enough to pick up the dishes, so they shouted there, and the other said that others picked up too much, and he also wanted to…

  The roof of a meal will be lifted, and the adults in the house can eat in peace and peace of mind until the children are full and sit down at the table.

  Ye Yaodong had been quiet for a few days after the separation, and now he had dinner with his family again, and felt that his head was about to collapse, and he was in sudden pain all the time. After they all got off the table, he heaved a sigh of relief.

  So many children, it's really scary!

  Some of the older generation still have seven or eight children, more than a dozen. For example, there are many brothers and sisters of their mothers. In addition, there are cousins, and they are all together during the Chinese New Year...It's terrible...

  He shook his head quickly, fortunately he only had three at most!

   Quickly took a sip of the soup, suppressing the shock.

  His mother-in-law stewed sea bass with rice wine. Everyone knows that sea bass is good for wounds, so no one touched the bowl of sea bass soup on the table, only the children ate a little.

  Everyone only eats the hot and sour soup cooked with dragon head fish. It's cold, and eating it is sour and spicy, which is especially appetizing and warm.

   Except for the vegetables, everything else on the table was brought by him. Mother Lin also steamed a large plate of starfish.

  He had eaten enough at home in the past few days, and he didn't want to eat it for a long time, but he still took one and gave it to his wife. Just now, she saw that she was only feeding the youngest son.

   I came to my mother-in-law's house, so I have to behave well.

He split the starfish from the middle, divided it into petals, took a petal and split it from the middle, and saw the starfish's meat, then put it in her bowl, let her eat it directly with soy sauce .

   This starfish would have diarrhea if he ate too much. He only peeled one and didn't do it again.

  Mother Lin started talking again when she saw it, saying why did he send so many?

  How to finish eating...

  Be sure not to bring anything over next time...
