Chapter 24: Picking Corn
Lin Xiuqing looked at his actions and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going to take your son?" ”
"I didn't go anywhere, I went to help Grandma pick corn."
"Pick them all back, or just a little? Shall I go and help? ”
Ye Yaodong looked at the old lady behind her, she was only carrying a basket in her hand, "Pick a little, didn't you say it yesterday, just keep it for your own food, and let Grandma not sell it." Pick a few and you'll be back, you're busy with yours. ”
Mother Ye saw that he was rare and diligent, and she also said with a pleasant face, "Pick a little more today, don't peel the skin, and cook it with the skin in the evening, so that your father can take them to the sea as a snack to eat." ”
"Then take the sack and put it in a sack, and come back with 20 or so."
"By the way, pick a few more vegetables and melons, and bring them to eat at sea, right?" Sister-in-law Ye also said.
"Got it."
After the old lady took the sack, Ye Yaodong took his son and walked with her to the entrance of the village, which is in two directions from the seaside.
The old lady walked slowly, and he accommodated her footsteps, slowly, and looked around by the way, and all he saw along the way were women sitting at the door weaving nets, and children running around.
The seven children of their family were also running down the dirt slope next to them, and the youngest son who was holding them in his hands saw that everyone was here, and shouted happily: "Brother ~ Sister ~"
"Ah, Dad, why are you here? Where are you going? ”
Ye Chenghu also saw his father and younger brother, and hurriedly called someone, but he didn't look at his feet, one accidentally slipped and slipped on the ground with his butt at his father's feet.
But he didn't cry, he just screamed a few words, then stood up and patted his buttocks, "Oh, it hurts, it's good to be the buttocks." ”
The corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched, the leather is solid!
The old lady also stepped forward and patted his buttocks, "Walk slowly, you have to look at the road, ahhh ”
"Ah, don't you? My mother will beat me, I want to ask Grandma to make it up for me, where are you and Grandma going? ”
"Go pick corn and melon!"
"Wow~ I'm going too!"
"I'm going too!"
"We're going too!" One by one, they excitedly expressed their desire to follow.
"The butt is all exposed, why don't you go home and mend your pants first?"
"No, I'm going to pick corn and vegetables and melons first, and I'll make up for it when I get home." After saying that, he ran to the entrance of the village, and it didn't matter if there was a hole in his buttocks, he didn't even think about covering it.
The others also roared and ran forward.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall......" the old lady called out uneasily.
One is a belt, and a group is also a belt, Ye Yaodong doesn't care, "Leave them alone, just be careful not to fall." ”
"Dad, hurry up, hurry up, brother, run away."
Ye Yaodong slapped his youngest son's buttocks, he couldn't say anything, and he wanted to play with them, "What's the hurry, I'll catch up in a while." ”
The three-point plot of land across the road at the entrance of the village was originally an overgrown slope, which was reclaimed little by little when his grandfather was there.
His grandfather is gone, and his father helps the old lady plant, and the old lady can't be idle, so she helps her plant, and she herself has to go back and forth twice a day, for fear that things will be stolen.
"Don't pick it, don't pick the unripe ones." Ye Yaodong saw that several children had already started breaking corn, and hurriedly stopped it.
"Oh, we know to pick, the whiskers behind the corn tail are black to pick, we know!" The one who replied was the eldest Ye Chenghai, who was already twelve years old.
Several children shuttled through the corn bushes and were directly submerged, and the youngest Ye Chengyang also struggled to get down, Ye Yaodong put him down, let him play by himself, and took the sack in the old lady's hand and let Ye Chenghai pretend.
"That's enough, pick 20 first, just pick 3 for each of you, don't pick too much, come back tomorrow morning."
"Ah, how many more?" Ye Chenghai looked at the two corns in his hand with some regret, and could only break one more.
"It's good to pick a few a day and eat them, take them all and sell them to your wife, and you won't have anything to eat."
"Forget it, let's break a few a day."
There were many people and high efficiency, and in a short time, they picked the corn, and the old lady also picked a basket full of vegetables and melons, some big and some small, the small ones were big fists, and the big ones were as big as mallets, and they were all cooked.
Ye Yaodong carried a small bag of corn on his shoulder and took the basket in the old lady's hand, "I'll take the things, you go slowly." ”
Looking at the group of children again, "Are they all out?" One, two, three, four, five, six...... And what about the other one? Who? What about Ye Chenghu? ”
"Ye Chenghu!" He raised his voice and shouted into the cornbushes.
"I'm here, daddy!" Ye Chenghu responded by holding the corn on the slope above, and then walked down with the corn in his arms.
Ye Yaodong looked at the corn cob he opened with his jacket, "Picked it up?" ”
"You kid, why did you go to someone else's house to pick it up?" The old lady looked down the road and whispered.
"Ah, isn't the corn all ours?"
"Only this is our house!"
Ye Chenghu scratched his head, "I thought all the corn here belonged to ours!" ”
Ye Yaodong put down the basket and happily threw all the corn in his arms into the sack, "It's okay, no one sees it, when you were a child, your father thought that the entire mountain belonged to our family, just pick it!" ”
The old lady whispered, "Next time, you can't pick someone else's, you will be scolded if you are seen." ”
"What's more, you'll be chased all over the mountain!"
"Dad, you were chased?"
"Mountains and seas, all you can play have played, gone, go home." Ye Yaodong carried the corn on his shoulders again!
"Wait, there's Yangyang!" The old lady grabbed Ye Yaodong, who was about to leave with his leg raised.
"Oh yes! Almost forgot about this guy! ”
He looked around, but he didn't see his youngest son, so he asked the children to look for it and put it down himself.
"These ones are only a little bit bigger, they can run so much, where are they hiding."
"Here, third uncle, sit on the ground and eat vegetables!"
Ye Yaodong walked in the direction of the sound, and saw his youngest son sitting on the ground, holding a vegetable melon bigger than his face with his head up, looking at everyone innocently.
The vegetable melon was still growing on the vine, and he had already gnawed the skin before he picked it, and it was difficult for him to find a long low.
"Why are you hiding here and stealing food?"
"Daddy!"
Ye Chengyang lifted the vegetable melon in his hand to hand it to his father, but he didn't have enough strength, and he fell down as soon as he lifted it, but the vegetable melon hanging on Teng shook it and hit his forehead......
"Hahaha~"
"Hahahaha~Stupid~"
A few children gloating mercilessly!
Ye Yaodong also looked at his little son who was not crying or making trouble on the ground, and turned over, using his hands and feet to get up.
"It's covered in dirt, it's dirty, and you're going to be scolded when you go back with your brother."
