Chapter 311: Slippers for Sugar

Ye Yaodong didn't even give him a look.

"Hey...... Sister-in-law...... How can you go back on your word? I'm a guest! Guest! Do you know what a guest is?" Lin Guangyuan trotted beside him and looked up at him.

"I know it's up to you, be honest with me, you're under the fence now, you know?"

"I'm here as a guest, you have to take good care of me."

Ye Yaodong unceremoniously gave him a chestnut, "I'll be thinking about playing all day long, and I'll take you to the dock tomorrow to carry the goods, make good money, and honor your sister-in-law and uncle."

"Ah...... This is a bit excessive...... Let's have a discussion, little uncle, let's go in the evening, and then I will be honest......

"Don't go so fast! Slow down...... Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law... Let's go once......

"Maybe there are a lot of goods, there are sandworms during the day, and there must be ...... at night Today's fifteenth ah......"

Ye Yaodong's footsteps stopped, "Fifteen today?"

"yes, it's fifteen today!"

He silently calculated in his heart, Ye Xiaoxi was born on the fifth day of the third month, isn't it fifteen today.

Lin Guangyuan felt that there was a play, and smiled flatteringly, "I heard that there is a big tide in the fifteenth year, and my sister-in-law ......

Ye Yaodong glanced at him, "Children will grow taller if they sleep more, and if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, go out and be careful that you will grow into a dwarf in the future."

"It's okay, it won't affect my future wife."

"But it affects the pickled girl to find a rich woman."

"Huh? Damn, sister-in-law, you are this kind of person......

"You're bribing me, aren't you? If you buy me, I won't tell my sister-in-law......

Lin Guangyuan followed beside him and tried his best to persuade him......

Ye Yaodong's big palm spread out and directly covered his face, and he pushed hard, "Shut your mouth, and if you are verbose, I won't take you away at night!"

Lin Guangyuan jumped three feet high in surprise in an instant, "Oh roar~yes~"

"I don't call you, you can get up and go, if you can't get up, don't go."

"I'll be able to get up!"

Lin Guangyuan rushed directly to the door of the house excitedly, and shouted loudly to tell the others the good news.

Ye Yaodong couldn't stop it, and he heard the happy cheers of those children from a distance, and then he was scolded by someone with a head and a face.

He stopped in an instant, and he couldn't move forward now......

At this time, he will have to be scolded when he goes back......

For example, people in their 20s are still like children of several years old, thinking about playing all day long, and they go to the beach at night as if they haven't grown up......

What kind of beach to go, big night, black lights, blind fire, can't see anything, haven't you been to the beach......

Day by day, I love to toss blindly, and I take a group of children to toss, and I am too full......

……

He turned his head and went out directly, preparing to go to the village for a few laps, anyway, there was his father and mother at home, and Aqing was not afraid that no one would take care of him.

A quaint and quiet fishing village facing the sea and backed by green hills.

Just after the rainy season, it is the season when 100 fish come ashore, and fishermen and women are busy preparing nets to go out to sea to catch fish, or groups of three or five with shuttles quickly interspersed in the fishing nets.

The open space on both sides of the road is also mottled with old fishing nets and floats, which is completely different from drying fish in winter, but it is also a busy and thriving scene.

….

The surrounding paths can be heard with the laughter of children.

Ye Yaodong walked on the quiet Qianmo path, smoking and wandering blindly, but he heard the sound of Dongdong Dongdong and the sound of selling.

"Maltose, maltose ~ tattered for sugar ~ "

"Maltose, maltose ~ bought maltose ~ "

As soon as he walked out of the intersection of the path, he saw a group of children holding all kinds of old slippers in their hands, chasing a middle-aged man with a burden, and a large piece of candy in it, he held a rattle in his hand, and shouted "tattered for sugar"...

Maltose is solid and liquid, and middle-aged people pick it up and sell it solid.

When the middle-aged man heard a group of children screaming behind him, he put down his shoulder with a smile on his face.

There was a big sugar cake on the wooden board of the sugar exchange stall, the yellow sugar cake was sprinkled with flour, and the middle-aged man held a thin iron sheet in his left hand and a small hammer in his right hand.

The children were anxious, but the middle-aged man did all this unhurriedly, no matter how anxious they were, and the children's saliva was about to flow.

He knocked down a small pile of maltose before exchanging their broken slippers with the children one by one.

You can also use money or rice, but most adults are reluctant to do so, and the children go home to collect old slippers or other rags.

Ye Yaodong also smelled a faint smell of maltose after approaching, which is one of the favorite delicacies of children nowadays.

He spent a lot of time watching the children change to maltose one by one, licking there, looking extremely satisfied, thinking that he also had a bunch of children at home, he also waited patiently aside.

It wasn't until all the children had switched to candy and licked while walking and being satisfied, that he also took out the coins in his pocket, and they were all two and a half cents.

"How much is a piece?"

"A penny."

It's cheap.

"Knock me ten pieces." He counted a dime and handed it to the candy seller.

The middle-aged man had a smile on his face, it was rare to meet someone who was willing to spend money, and he bought so much at one time, he knocked slowly, and knocked an extra piece for Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong took the maltose wrapped in old newspapers, thanked him, opened it and stuffed a small one into his mouth, eating it as he walked.

It was hard, and he rolled it in his mouth.

After warming my mouth for a while, it became softer, and it was very chewy to bite, sweet and delicious, and it was also very sticky to my teeth, and the silky sweet feeling reached the bottom of my heart.

"I haven't eaten it for decades, and it's still authentic maltose at this time." He thought to himself.

Slowly, he walked back the way he had come and gone, and the gradually slanting sunset stretched his shadow for a long ......

Before he could reach the door, he heard a lively noise in the distance, where a group of children were screaming and throwing sandbags to play, shouting that they had several lives.

After Ye Yaodong approached, he raised the small bag in his hand, "Do you want to eat maltose?"

"Huh? Maltose?"

"Maltose?"

"Ahhh~There's malt candy to eat~"

"I want ~ I want ~ "

"I want it too~"

"Wait for me~ I'm going to ...... too."

….

A group of big children and small children all gathered around excitedly, at this time, every family had limited conditions and little food, and no child could resist maltose.

"Wow, it's a lot, the third uncle is so good!"

Ye Yaodong spread his hands with a smile and asked them to take it for themselves, "One piece per person, you can't take more."

"Well, it's delicious, it's so sweet!"

The others nodded in agreement, and they all stuck out their tongues and licked them, and when they were a little soft, they took a bite and pulled out a long thread.

"I'm going to get a quick child!"

"I'm going to ...... too"

Ye Yaodong watched one of them hold a fast seed, rolled it on the fast child and sucked it slowly, eating until his mouth was covered with white flour, enjoying the sweetness while teasing each other.

A small piece of candy was eaten and played with by them, and they ate it for a long time.

He still has a piece left in his hand, but unfortunately Ye Xiaoxi has just been born and can't eat it yet, and Ah Qing is also in confinement, so he can't seem to eat it.

One piece was not enough for them to divide, otherwise it would have been time for a fight, so he wrapped it up casually, put it back in his pocket, and went into the house.

I haven't seen Ye Xiaoxi for a while, this little doll is really the same every day, and it is rare.

As a result, I saw him as soon as I entered the house

The mother and the old lady came out of the house, "Back? Where did he die? It's gone."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "I've been idle for a while."

He dug into his pocket again and handed the remaining piece of maltose to the old lady, "Maltose, I just bought it, you sweet mouth."

The old lady smiled and showed her gums, "I don't eat it, you eat it yourself."

"I just ate a piece, and the group of children at the door also have it, and there is still a piece left, you have a sweet mouth." He couldn't help but stuff it into the old lady's pocket.

The old lady put her hand in her pocket, touched it and didn't take it out, but smiled more happily, "Spend less money, it's not easy for you to make some money, and you haven't been to sea recently, otherwise let your mother come over to work on the floor at night, you go to sea with your father, I heard that there are a lot of goods recently."

Mother Ye also nodded, "The two children are afraid of noise, now they sleep in the same room, you go to accompany them, spread out straw mats and make a bunk, I will sleep in Ah Qing's house, and take care of it by the way."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and felt that this was okay, Lin Guangyuan slept in the same bed with the two boys, and he made a bunk on the ground, so he insisted on it for a few days.

"Okay, then wait until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to go to sea."

"How many boys do you want to take to the beach at night?" Ye Mu frowned.

He sneered: "Ah Yuan has been pestering, take him to the beach at night, others will definitely not be able to get up, I didn't think about taking so many with me, who knew he had such a big mouth."

"To what? Can't play during the day? I have to go at night, I am too full to eat, and I am not afraid of danger......

"He deliberately stayed to play, I couldn't satisfy him, so I took him out to play for a while, he was so old, he knew it was amazing."

The old lady advised, "Be careful, other people's children watch more, don't do anything, you can't afford to pay for it."

"Don't worry, if the tide goes out, you won't go into the water." It's not just going to swim or catch the sea, he can still see it.

Ye Mu didn't bother to care, she simply walked out of sight, and she had to start preparing dinner again, she had to pluck some spinach.

When night fell, the children reluctantly went back to the house to sleep, and before they separated, they all told each other that if anyone woke up at night, remember to scream.

As a result, they were all scolded without any surprise, but they were all rough and thick-skinned, and it didn't matter if they were scolded or not, they were all okay when they were beaten, and they all went back to their respective homes.

Ye Chenghai also deliberately grabbed Lin Guangyuan's whispered instructions, remember to call him......

In just one day, they have already established a revolutionary friendship!
