Chapter 25: Hand in hand

"Daddy, melon! Melon! Ye Chengyang hugged his father's thigh and shouted.

"What about you, frogs? If you still croak, you will know how to eat! Ye Yaodong looked at the mud marks on his leg rubbed by him with disgust, and picked off the gnawed vegetable melon for him by the way, "Take it back and wash it before you can eat it, otherwise there will be insects in it." ”

He counted the heads again, and when the number was right, he returned to walk back surrounded by the children.

As soon as he walked to the door, his neighbor Aunt Chen looked at him with novelty, "Dongzi didn't go out to play today?" Did you help your grandma pick corn? ”

"Hmm!"

Knowingly asked, didn't you see it when you went out? His eyes were still from the door of the house, following his back, and he didn't retract until he couldn't see it.

Don't ask him how he knows, his own experience has seen it, their country women are basically like this, and it is even more exaggerated when they see strangers entering the village, and their eyes are basically sticky to strangers.

"Why are you guys back? It's not time to eat yet, is this smelling and coming back? Mother Ye smiled at a group of children.

"Let's go picking corn with the third uncle!"

Lin Xiuqing also saw her dirty and gray-faced little son at this time, she quickly got up, "Why are you so dirty?" Is the dirt all over your body, all over your face and hands, rolling in the ground? ”

"Haha, mother, he stole the vegetable melon and was smashed by the vegetable melon, and then got up like this!"

"Don't laugh at him, turn your ass around and show it to your mother." Ye Yaodong put down the sack and basket, and turned around with his eldest son.

Ye Chenghu hurriedly covered his buttocks, "Don't, daddy......"

Lin Xiuqing tightened her brows, "What are you doing again?" How did you get a hole in your ass, what are you playing with, running around all day long, you look at your knees, your legs, where is there a good piece of meat. ”

As she spoke, she hit him hard a few times.

was carried by his father and couldn't break free, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten honestly standing up.

"It hurts, mother, I was careless! Daddy, let me go. ”

"Which one of your falls wasn't accidental? Bouncing all day long, there is a hole in your pants here, a hole there, you look at the hole above the knee of your pants, it has just been mended and grinded, and it is more useless than your father's work. ”

Seeing that the child was trained to lower his head, Ye Yaodong let go of his hand with satisfaction, the child is not naughty and has to be taught, and he can't teach the child, so he can only let the child teach.

Fortunately, after a few decades, both children are quite filial, well... Only filial piety to their mothers...... He didn't mention it......

The old lady played a round on the side, "Don't scold him, it's normal for children to run and jump and fall, fall and fall quickly, go into the house to change your pants and come out to eat melons." ”

After the old lady's amnesty order, Ye Chenghu ran into the house like a gust of wind, and Lin Xiuqing led his little son who was covered in dirt and walked inside, and the two sons had to change their clothes.

She muttered as she walked, "Day by day, I don't know how many I have to change, but fortunately, you have many brothers and sisters, and their short clothes can be worn for you." ”

Ye Mu also muttered a few words, "It's noisy all day long, and there is no time to be quiet." ”

"If you sit quietly all day long, don't run or jump, mother, you should worry about whether you are a fool!"

Ye Mu was choked by Ye Yaodong, glared at him, and had nothing to say.

"Come on, eat a piece of melon, and then do it later." The old lady cut a large pot of melons and took them out and divided them, even the neighbors around them.

Ye Yaodong took a piece of melon and said, "I'll go to the second brother to have a look." ”

You can't leave your house alone like in your previous life, you have to go and see the handle, so as not to fall into the mouth.

He had barely walked a few steps away when he heard the women behind him muttering to him.

"Dongzi has seen growth in the past two days? I will also go to Taohai, and I will help Ah Hua. ”

"Pull it down, I ran away yesterday afternoon, and I don't know when I came back last night, anyway, I locked the door, Ah Qing, what time did Dongzi come back yesterday?"

"It's pretty early, I'll be back at 7 o'clock."

"Such a big person, I don't have any sense of responsibility at all......"

Ye Yaodong quickened his pace, his ears could hear the cocoon, go farther, when he didn't hear it, anyway, he knew that he wouldn't be like before.

When he walked to the homestead, Ye Yaohua had already hoeed most of the weeds, and his whole body was sweating like rain, and his cheeks were red.

He couldn't help but sigh that for the countrymen, it is true that hard work and prosperity are true, and the hard-working people in their village have lived quite prosperous lives in the next few decades, and they have all demolished old houses and built small villas, not to mention how beautiful the days are.

He didn't dare to think about anything else, as long as he lived like everyone else, and his family was healthy and safe.

"Ah Hua!"

He is only two years old from his second brother, so he never calls him second brother, only by name, and the eldest brother can be called.

Ye Yaohua straightened up when he heard someone call him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked over, "Dongzi, why are you here?" ”

"It's okay to come and see, will the construction start the day after tomorrow? Are the materials and labor ordered? ”

"Okay, I ran away with my dad for a day yesterday, and I have booked it to be sent over tomorrow."

"It's a pity that the saltwater sand can't be used, otherwise the sand from the beach can be transported directly to build a house, which can save a lot of money."

"Hehe, if saltwater and sand can build a house, it won't be our turn to use it, and it will have been shoveled out a long time ago."

"How long are you going to hoe this grass?"

"It's about the same for a while, when the time comes, tidy up the weeds, take these weeds to the open space to burn, and after burning, transport the ashes back to the vegetable field."

Ye Yaodong: "......"

The use is so thorough, even the weeds are not spared, no wonder the weeds are put on the board car.

"Do you want to burn it on the beach? Shall I push you through? ”

Ye Yaohua looked at him in surprise, and even if he came to talk to him for the first time, he actually took the initiative to ask for help?

"What's the matter, I also want to divide this house, if I don't help with some work, what should I do if my father regrets it? Even if he doesn't regret it, I can't bear his scolding with my mother. ”

"Hehe, yes, this car is also full, then you can help me push it to the open space on the shore of the beach, and I will burn it later, and I will hoe all this grass first."

"Hmm."

Ye Yaodong pushed the cart against the sun and walked all the way to the shore of the beach, and some women sitting at the door weaving nets frequently cast surprised glances at him, but he didn't see them all.

When Ye Yaohua finished weeding and burning grass and wood ashes, he clapped his hands and left first, and it would be better for a while when the burning was finished, just let his second brother wait here, and he would not accompany him under the sun.

It was almost 10 o'clock now, and the tide had receded for the most part, and someone was already being seen on the beach in front of me.

Feeling that the sand on the other side of the dock should be about to be exposed, he had to go back and get the hook and the bucket.
