After a simple dinner, I went to apply for a tractor to be used at night, came back and took a shower, as soon as I lay down, Ye Yaodong slept directly with a pillow, originally Lin Xiuqing wanted to talk to him, so he could only give up.

The next day, before dawn, it was dark outside, and there was no light at all, and Ye Yaodong was woken up by the old lady on time.

When people get old, they sleep less, even when it's still dark.

The old lady usually gets up at about four or five o'clock in the morning to feed the chickens and ducks, help cook breakfast, and by the way, water the vegetable patch.

Ye Yaodong didn't object to her working, this can also exercise her body, and the vegetable field is in the yard, and the small piece on the side of the road has now been taken over by his sister-in-law to rectify.

Because the second sister-in-law occupies a room in her hometown to raise pigs, the three sisters-in-law score a little more evenly, otherwise they will always hear some broken thoughts, and Ye's father and Ye's mother are annoyed, so the small piece of land on the side of the road is planted by the sister-in-law.

Anyway, Mother Ye has no time to farm when she goes to work now, and a little self-reserved land and chickens behind her house are enough for her to be busy.

And Ah Qing didn't ask for anything, a child had already consumed her energy, and she would have to go to work after the meeting left.

Today, the old lady deliberately got up earlier, and called him up at two o'clock.

This time it was a big deal, he had to be sent to the army at six or seven o'clock, and it took more than three hours to get a tractor to the city, and he was about to get up at about two o'clock to set off, and it was better to arrive early than late.

He was afraid that he would oversleep, if he usually trawled, it didn't matter if he was late, and it would be fine to oversleep at three o'clock, but not today, he had to get up early.

Therefore, when he was having dinner, he also specially told his father not to oversleep, and by the way, he got up early to call him, and the old lady remembered it in her heart, so she said that she felt less, and she came to call.

Ye Yaodong woke up when he heard the movement, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his eyes were clear in an instant, and he did not have the confusion of just waking up.

In fact, he was holding things in his heart, his spirit was tense all the time, and he couldn't sleep well, just one more word to explain to his father.

Lin Xiuqing heard a knock on the door and woke up.

"It's cold in the morning and evening, and it's windy on the road, so remember to wear a hat and wrap your padded jacket tightly. I stopped knitting a sweater yesterday, knitted a scarf for you, and put it on the table, you remember to wrap it up later, and then take it off when it's hot during the day, a scarf can be worth a piece of clothing......"

"Well, got it, you go back to sleep."

Ye Yaodong stumbled and put on his clothes and jacket, took the scarf and hurried out, the cloth bag was still carried by him closely.

The tractor hadn't come yet, and the sweet potato porridge in the pot was already bubbling with bubbles, and the old lady was stirring in it with a spatula, and by the way, she fished out two freshly marinated salted duck eggs and put them in cold water to cool them down.

She turned her head to look at Ye Yaodong, who came out with her clothes dressed, and smiled kindly, "You have been talking about salted duck eggs, this has been pickled for a month, and it is almost ready to eat, just cook two porridges for you in the morning, so that you don't have to eat them when you go out early and return late at night." ”

"Marinated so quickly?"

"It's not fast, these duck eggs are all newborn eggs, small, pickled quickly, thinking about letting it get out of the oil and marinating it for a few more days, there should be oil juice, and I will cut it in half to take a look."

"Okay."

"I like to eat, I pickled a little more today, and I have saved more than 30 more, knowing that you want to eat salted duck eggs, the eggs that are deliberately used at home, the duck eggs are used less, and the savings are fast."

Some people are worried about it, it's good to get used to it.

Ye Yaodong smiled, "Okay, you just look at it, just eat enough, don't be busy there all day." ”

"Hey, I know, I didn't even work, I just fed the chickens and the ducks. You go wash your face and brush your teeth first, I'll put the food out for you first, cool it down, and you can eat it right away, and then you can leave. ”

"How expensive things are outside, you spend a lot of money as soon as you go out, although now that you have an interest, you can make a lot of money, but we can save, we have to save a little...... Money is not spent...... There are still more places to spend money in the future......"

Ye Yaodong casually answered two sentences and went to brush his teeth and wash his face, and the old lady behind him was still there to read her, regardless of whether he was there to listen or not, just talk about himself.

When he finished washing, the hot sweet potato porridge had been served on the table, and the two salted duck eggs had been cut into four petals, and the yolk in the middle was not yellow, but orange-red, and the whole one was shiny, and it was stained with white whites, which was delicious at first glance.

"You salted duck eggs are so good!"

The old lady smiled happily, "It's a duck egg, I usually go to the beach to swim and catch small fish and shrimp, and of course it's good to eat eggs." ”

Ye Yaodong sat down and stirred it with chopsticks, the porridge was very thick, probably because he was afraid that he would not be full, so it was thicker.

And there are only three bowls on the table to cool, one of which is a relatively small bowl, and it is relatively thin, and there are a lot of sweet potatoes in it, which are placed in the fixed position where the old lady used to eat.

This is the old lady left for herself to eat, the two bowls are relatively large and thick, I didn't see the sweet potato for him and his father.

This is not the first time she has pretended to be like this, he doesn't want to say it, it's useless to say it, she should say it well, next time she will pretend to be like this.

Fortunately, sweet potatoes are coarse grains, so it's good to eat a little bit every day.

The old lady saw him stirring there and said, "I got up late today, the porridge didn't come out cold earlier, it's a little hot, you eat slowly, eat salted duck eggs first......

At this moment, Ye's father came over, and as soon as he walked in, the sound of a tractor sounded outside, and the three of them all looked back at the same time, and Ye Yaodong also put down his chopsticks at the same time.

The old lady craned her neck and looked at the door, "The tractor is here, then you can move the dried fish first, and then come to eat after moving, it won't be so hot." ”

"Well, let's get to work first."

Father and son both walked towards the stacked dried fish in the corner, and one walked out with a bag on his shoulder.

Ye Yaodong also invited the tractor master to come into the house for breakfast by the way, these people are sophisticated, and he still knows how to do it.

However, people are also very measured, and directly refused, saying that they had eaten it.

After carrying the dried fish into the car, the father and son quickly dried up the porridge and got into the car with ten boiled eggs, and they had not taken eggs out many times, but they didn't expect the old lady to prepare again today, and it was estimated that they came back too late last night.

The troops were stationed near a relatively remote village in the city, and it was said that it was near the village, but in fact it was quite far from the village.

Fortunately, it was already early in the morning when they arrived in the surrounding villages, and although it was not yet fully dawn, there were already several houses in the village where smoke was rising from the chimneys, and when they entered the village, they could still see scattered people who were working early with hoes, and they could still ask people about their location, otherwise they would be blind.

They asked all the way, fortunately they got up early today, and it took a long time to ask for directions and find a place, but it didn't exceed the agreed time.

Looking at the rows of green military uniforms that were exercising in the morning in the railing, Ye Yaodong also showed a yearning look, if he had been reborn a few years earlier, maybe he would have signed up to be a soldier.

Thinking so, he also muttered, "In these years, it's good to be a soldier, and I should have a good relationship with the brigade in the early years, maybe I can go to ......."

Father Ye laughed at him very facelessly, "Come on, you, are you still going to be a soldier?" People get up before dawn to train, and your lazy bones will have to be returned in two days. If you go to the battlefield, you will have to be buried on the same day, or stay at home and fish, you will be old, and you still want to think about it......"

Ye Yaodong pouted, "Don't look down on people, the army can make people transform and grow, if I had gone a few years earlier, you might have been able to walk sideways in the village." ”

"Don't brag, I'm not a crab, hurry up and find out where the gate is? It's six o'clock, the sky is bright, don't delay the big thing of making money. ”

"I just imagined it, it's good now, it's hard to go home all year round when I'm a soldier."

"It's good to know."

The father and son climbed on the tractor as they spoke, and it was just after passing by here that they saw a large number of soldiers training in the railing, so they stopped the tractor and jumped down to watch it for a while.

The tractor circled around the fence before finding the main entrance.

Before they could jump out of the car, soldiers stepped forward to ask them, and after Ye Yaodong explained his intentions, some soldiers went in to report.

The father and son stood at the door and looked around, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Team Leader Zhao, who had met yesterday, came out.

Team Leader Zhao is an efficient person, as soon as they met, they shook hands, and after a few simple greetings, they inspected the goods.

Ye Yaodong is still confident in the dried fish he dries, after all, the women in the family have killed fish for many years, which is much more than the average person kills in a lifetime, and the appearance is still very good-looking.

Team Leader Zhao casually opened a few bags and randomly checked more than 20 catties, the appearance and smell were very good, very fresh, and he asked for 300 catties first.

"Try cooking a meal or two first, you can leave a phone number where you can find someone, and I'll ask you to deliver it if it's okay."

"Hey, good."

Although he only had 300 catties and didn't want them all, he was a little disappointed, but he was still happy to be able to sell 300 catties at once, and he also had the opportunity to do business next time.

The price didn't need to be said by Team Leader Zhao, he also took the initiative to give in, selling 4 cents 5, and he only counted 4 cents 2, and after weighing and taking the money, he made an excuse to say that he had something to say to Team Leader Zhao, went to the corner and secretly stuffed him with the odd 26 yuan, and said some good things.

Team Leader Zhao frowned and hesitated, and instantly resolutely refused, "No need to do this, this is what you deserve, if the fish is good, I will still ask you to send it." ”

Ye Yaodong blinked his eyes, did he really meet an upright person? Don't want any benefits? Or is it in the wrong place?

Maybe it's unfamiliar reasons, I don't know the details and don't dare to accept it, maybe I can find a chance to try it again next time? However, he would rather believe that Team Leader Zhao is upright!

After putting the money away, Ye Yaodong said a good word to praise him, and asked his father to weigh another 20 catties and give it to the troops.

At this time, Team Leader Zhao did not refuse, everyone likes people who are good and know how to speak.
