Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 320

  Chapter 320 Up the Mountain

   He didn't go back with his father until the goods were sold out.

  When they got home, the father and son went to the back door to wash their faces for fear of scaring the children, and then went back to the house for dinner.

  As soon as Ye Mu came back, she marinated the squid while it was fresh, and the whole room was filled with the smell of marinated squid. Before it was out of the pot, the two children surrounded there and asked questions.

   "Go, go, don't get in the way around the stove all day long. You've just eaten your fill, so why ask? Save the rice for tomorrow, soak it overnight for a little more flavor."

   "But it's very fragrant, when will it be ready?"

   "The stew is not good, it will be tomorrow."

  Lin Guangyuan sat at the table and asked Ye Yaodong, "Little Uncle, how is your harvest today? Have you returned with a full load?"

"almost."

   "What did you catch?"

   "Why do you ask so many questions? You don't know if you tell me, and it's too far to take you there!"

   "That's the same sentence again, my sister-in-law said the same thing today." Lin Guangyuan said curiously and flatteringly, "Is there any shortage of people on the boat, little uncle?"

   "You are still young, wait until you are older."

   "Oh~"

   "Did you go to the beach today?"

"I went, picked up some sandworms, and picked up a few cat's-eye snails. This snail is really fun. The meat on the head is so big, and it will shrink inward. When it shrinks, it becomes smaller. We shot it. Put it in a small bucket of seawater, and after a while, the meat on its head will slowly come out again, just like a sand clam.”

   "I'll take you to the mountains to play tomorrow!"

  Lin Guangyuan said uninterestedly: "What fun things are there on the mountain? We have a lot of them. I don't want to play any more. I have been running on the mountain since I was a child. I just want to go to the beach."

   "You are already at the beach."

   "Father, my cousin doesn't want to go to the mountains, so I'll go with you!" Ye Chenghu stopped huddling around the stove when he heard that he was going to play on the mountains, and ran over immediately.

   "I'm going too!" Ye Chengyang also followed.

   "Well, yes, you all go and let your cousin watch the house at home!"

   "Ah~" Lin Guangyuan wailed, "Forget it, I will reluctantly go with you, otherwise they will all go to school, and I will be the only one left. It's not fun, and I have no company to go to the beach."

  Ye Yaodong glanced at him, but didn't speak, just waiting for his words.

  Many people work hard, the two young ones can only make up for the head, but the work is still poor, so the labor to deliver it to the door must be used to the best of its ability.

   Otherwise, after a few days, you won't be able to use it!

  Mother Ye saw that there was not much firewood left in the firewood pile behind her, "It happens that there is no more firewood at home, so I will come back tomorrow after cutting more firewood."

"Um."

  Hearing this instruction, Lin Guangyuan always felt ominous in his heart.

   When he was dug up the mountain early the next morning, he regretted it.

  It rained the night before, and the mountain was covered with mud. The mud under his feet was thicker than the soles of his shoes, and it was slippery.

   Every time he lifts his feet, he feels strenuous, and he doesn't look like they have rain boots.

   "Little uncle, I'm going down the mountain now, is there still time?"

  Ye Yaodong shook the machete in his hand, "What do you think?"

  Lin Guangyuan looked at the knife in his hand and swallowed, "Why do I think we didn't come up to the mountain to play?"

   "I originally wanted to bring you guys to play on the mountain, but aren't you unhappy? It just so happens that my old mother asked me to cut down trees, so go ahead and do a good job for me."

"I knew it!"

   I was fooled, if I had known it yesterday, I would not have said that I would follow.

   Obviously it was right to refuse at the beginning!

   Alas, misstep!

   "Know what, you know, hurry up for me, dawdling like a bitch, you are the slowest walker."

  Lin Guangyuan glared at Ye Chenghu, who sat gloating on Father Ye's shoulder, and murmured in his heart: The ground was wet this morning, so I didn't take Ye Chengyang with me. He and Ye Chenghu followed. Isn't he the slowest walker?

  While walking, he wiped off the red mud under his feet in the grass next to him, then looked around and saw the yellow-orange loquat trees on both sides of the mountain, and he felt itchy to pick them.

   There is something at home, but it doesn't affect him picking outside, right? What's more, he hasn't eaten loquat for a year.

  He had long forgotten that he was still saying yesterday that the mountain was no longer fun.

  Seeing that there are many red bayberry trees not far away that are still red, and have not yet turned black, he already felt sour in his mouth and secreted saliva.

   There are still a few scattered peach trees, and the pointed parts of the ends are all reddish. I feel sorry for myself if I don't pick them...

  Ye Chenghu was also shouting excitedly, "The loquats are ripe, the peaches are also ripe, and there are red plums, Dad...Grandpa...We will pick them later..."

   "It's not ours. We don't have fruit trees in our house."

   "Little uncle, do you have a lot of fruit trees planted on this mountain?"

   "It's okay, they are all hardworking people. It is enough for the family to plant two or three trees to feed the children at home, unlike your people who specialize in planting fruit trees."

   "My father said that we rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on seas to eat seas. We are all mountains, so we can only plant trees."

Father Ye looked at a place with a lot of trees and stopped, "That's it, I'll cut the branches, Dongzi, you pick them up, you two don't run around, if you pick fruits indiscriminately, you will be beaten, and after the firewood is cut, I will take you there." Pick wild peaches."

   "Okay, okay, I like to eat wild peaches."

  Lin Guangyuan looked as if he didn't need his help, so he wandered around, picking up some dead branches by the way.

   He just didn't expect to turn around, but he found something good, “Little uncle, there are a lot of bamboo shoots here, all of which are just a little sharp.”

   "Where, where?" Ye Chenghu ran over excitedly when he heard the sound, "There are really bamboo shoots, pull them out quickly..."

  He has already started directly, and even pulled one out.

  After Ye Yaodong made a pile of firewood, he also ran over to have a look, "Oh, there are quite a few, the whole piece is full, I leave this job to you, pull them all back, if you have seen it, you will never let it go."

   "Okay, I promise to complete the task." Lin Guangyuan happily asked for a military salute.

  Ye Yaodong touched his pocket, took out a sack, shook it, and handed it to them.

   This is his good habit wow!

  He originally wanted to use it to hold wild peaches, but since he went up the mountain, how could he only chop firewood?

   I have to go back home to eat as much as possible, there are so many mouths in the house.

   "Dad, why do you always have a sack in your pocket?"

   "Be prepared, work quickly, pull out a little more, and eat fried pork with bamboo shoots at night."

"ah?"

  Both of them touched their buttocks at the same time, and the passion disappeared instantly.

  Lin Guangyuan muttered: "What are you talking about fried pork with bamboo shoots..."

  Ye Chenghu also echoed, "It's just..."

   "Pull it, pull it, fried pickles are also delicious."

   "Then I still like fried meat."

   "Okay, tell my sister-in-law tonight that you want to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots."

   "Humph~"

   The two of them were arguing and pulling out bamboo shoots, which was not boring.

  Ye Yaodong also wanted to pull bamboo shoots, but he didn't finish his work. If he sneaked away, it would be his father's turn to invite him to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots.

  He stacked the cut branches high and tied them up.

  Take out another straw rope and lay it on the ground, and continue to put the branches on it.

  The trolley could not be pushed up the mountain, and it was placed at the foot of the mountain for fear of being stolen, so they did not push it out. They planned to carry the firewood down the mountain, and put it on the side of the road before going back to push the cart.

  After three hours of busy work, I only tied six or seven piles, which was not enough, but it was almost lunch time, and it was almost time to call it a day.

  Ye Yaodong clapped his hands, seeing that his father was about to cut back a small tree, he let him do it slowly, he went to find two boys first.

  The two boys have pulled out all the bamboo shoots just now, and the sacks are full, but where are they going now?

  He wandered around, but saw no one, only a sack of bamboo shoots, and could only shout their names.

   "Lin Guangyuan! Ye Chenghu!"

   "Lin Guangyuan! Ye Chenghu! Where did you die?"

  Seeing that no one answered him, he had no choice but to walk to the side of the road, shouting as he walked.

  I don't know whether they are going up or down, he goes down first, trying his luck, and his voice is getting louder and louder.

   At this moment, two boys suddenly emerged from the nearby plum tree, and they booed at him...

   "Shh~ Dad, don't shout, don't attract anyone."

   "I ran out and didn't say a word, how much did I pick?"

   "The pockets are too small, so I wear the jacket inside out, look..."

  Ye Yaodong patted his head, picked up one and wiped it on his body, and said: "You did a good job, but don't do it next time, if you are caught, I will kill my relatives righteously!"

   "I understand, this is called teaching your son in front of others, and teaching your wife by your pillow! In fact, little uncle, you also want to steal it, I know!"

  Ye Yaodong took a bite of the red plum, and the sour and crunchy taste made his eyes narrow immediately. After recovering, he flicked Lin Guangyuan's forehead.

   "I haven't studied for a few years, but I know a lot."

   "Father, take off your clothes and put them on, and I'll pick some more."

   "This plum is a bit sour, I suggest you pick loquats over there!"

   "Hahaha~"

   "Smile!" Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, none of these boys are cute.

   "I knew little uncle, you are this kind of person!"

   "Give me the plums, go to work quickly, we will go back to eat after your grandfather finishes cutting the tree."

"knew."

   After pouring all the plums to Ye Yaodong, the kid ran away immediately, time is running out!

  Ye Yaodong was holding a bag of plums and walking back while chewing. Maybe they are more familiar with him than him on this mountain, so they can't lose it.

  Father Ye saw that he had returned, and asked, "Where are those two?"

   "I went to pick loquats."

   "The loquat after the rain is not tasty."

   "It's better than nothing. For those children, everything is delicious, and there is nothing bad."

   "Pick less, and don't get caught."

   "It's okay, just give me a good beating."

  Father Ye glanced at him, but didn't say anything, how can a child not be greedy.

  Who hasn't been kicked out?

   "Go and bring them back, take them to pick wild peaches, I will go back after cutting down this tree."

   "OK, where is the wild peach tree?"

  Father Ye pointed him in a direction, "There are two trees over there, and they have grown for many years."

"knew."
