The women weaving nets around could not help but shake their heads. These guys were idle all day long, like children who had not grown up and only knew how to play. Now they even wanted to kill the chickens at home
What a prodigal son! If he were in their family, they would have been beaten to death. However, they have seen them misbehaving many times over the years, so they are used to it!
At least it doesn't cause any harm to other people, and this can be considered its only advantage.
Ye Yaodong touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. Looking at her angry expression, he felt a little sorry.
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Dongzi, you feel sorry for your wife? It's okay, just come back and coax her well in the evening."
"Yes, I'll just come back to coax her at night. Let's go quickly, we still need to kill the chicken. It's already past two o'clock, and we'll have to stew it for half a day. If we stay up too late, we'll starve to death."
Ye Yaodong was dragged away by the two of them. He thought it was too late to turn back now. He should wait until he came back in the evening to coax her. He would go fishing with them tomorrow and behave well in order to win back her heart.
After thinking it over, he put aside his worries and went with them happily.
Their Baisha Village is not big, but not small either. A Zheng's home is closer to Dongqiao Village, and there are fields behind his house.
Although he spoke with confidence about catching chickens, he felt a little guilty when it came to really catching them. He was afraid that his mother would see them while weaving a net at the doorstep, so he took them on a detour, intending to pass through the field at the back door and then climb over the fence.
Who knew that his mother was sitting at the back door weaving a web today!
And when I looked up, I saw the three of them on the side of the road...
"What are you guys going to do now?"
Ah Zheng smiled awkwardly, poked his hand and walked forward, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you, do you think it's okay..."
"no!"
Three people: “…”
Before I could even finish my words, I was blocked!
Ah Zheng's mother raised her eyelids, scratched her hair with the shuttle net needle, and then started weaving the net again. Then she said, "If you guys get together, it will definitely be bad news. Don't discuss it with me. I won't agree if you ask!"
"Mom, my dad has been complaining about weakness in his hands and feet recently..."
"Why, do you want to buy a blue crab to nourish your father?"
People living by the sea have weak hands and feet and need to replenish their body, so they usually choose to eat blue crabs.
"No..."
Ye Yaodong standing aside found it a bit funny. He was speaking with confidence just now at the door of his house, but now he became cowardly when he met his mother. How many years has it been since he last saw Ah Zheng like this
Ah Zheng thought that if he stuck his head out, he would be cut by a knife, and if he ducked his head, he would also be cut by a knife, so he simply said, "Ah Guang caught a cobra this morning, and I thought of killing a chicken and stewing it together, and then filling a bowl to feed you and dad. Hasn't my dad been complaining about weakness in his hands and feet recently?"
His mother raised her eyebrows and was about to scold him, but swallowed her words after hearing the second half of the sentence. She thought that he was still somewhat filial and cared about his father.
Ah Zheng knew something was up when his mother didn't scold him right away, so he continued, "Mom, I paid for this chicken and hatched its eggs. I usually feed it more. You see, giving me one doesn't seem to be a big loss to you, right?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? You eat my food, wear my clothes, and live in my house. How dare you say that you raise the chickens?"
“Hey, you raised it, you raised it, so you don’t object to me arresting it?”
A Zheng's mother glared and was about to curse him when he excitedly called Ye Yaodong and Xiaoxiao to catch chickens.
Not opposing or criticizing, isn't that the same as agreeing
"Get out, get out, get out of here if you catch me. You can only catch roosters." How could she not love this son after giving birth to four daughters
"Which one?"
"That one! That big fat rooster! Xiaoxiao, go first!" Ye Yaodong pointed at the big rooster with colorful feathers that was leisurely strolling in the corner, and ordered them to go first.
There was chicken shit all over the ground and he didn't want to step on it.
After a short clucking sound of a rooster, "Shit, I didn't catch it!"
"Over there, over there... Dongzi..."
"I'll do it... I'll do it..."
The three of them ran around the yard and the chickens were flying around. After a lot of commotion, they still didn't catch the chicken.
"How the hell can it fly so fast? You guys, I'll be here, let's surround it!"
Ye Yaodong hurriedly stopped them, "Wait, wait, Ah Zheng, go grab a handful of rice bran. We'll stand in the corner. It will be easier to catch them when they are eating."
"Okay~"
Ah Zheng's mother was so upset when she saw these naughty boys! Fortunately, she reacted quickly and moved the fishing net into the house, otherwise it would have been a mess.
Even after sprinkling a handful of rice bran, the chickens were still very alert, hovering around tentatively and not daring to get close.
After a while, when it felt there was no danger, it went forward and pecked.
"Go ahead, Dongzi, you go ahead."
He went for it, Ye Yaodong tiptoed forward, aimed at the target, and pounced on him.
“Got it!”
His face was filled with joy, and he grasped the two wings tightly. "Bring the rope over here, I'll tie it up, or it will fly away again soon."
"Here, tie them up as you go, and take them to Guang's house to kill them."
This big rooster is full of energy. It keeps struggling even after being tied up, and crows with its neck tilted back.
Ye Yaodong tied up the chicken before handing it to them. Seeing that the edges of his shoes were covered with chicken shit, he pulled out a handful of straw to wipe them, and then rubbed his feet hard on the ground a few times to clean the soles of his shoes before happily following them to A Guang's house.
A Guang's mother is gone, and his father went out to sea on a big ship. He would be gone for several months before coming back. There was no one to take care of things at home, and there were no girls to marry so he hadn't gotten married yet. There were only him and his two younger sisters at home, so for daily gatherings, they would choose A Guang's house.
Everyone gathered at his house to play cards, waiting for the three of them to arrive and start fighting.
"Damn it, A Guang, don't you know your name? How dare you come out to play cards in the afternoon?"
"Hahaha, Pei Guang, lose it all!" Ye Yaodong also thought of the bad luck that A Guang's name brought him, and he slapped his thigh and laughed. He hadn't seen A Guang for many years.
In his previous life, his father saved enough money to buy a boat and moved his whole family to Zhoushan to sell shrimp, and he rarely came back.
Ah Guang looked at them with disdain, "I rarely lost today, okay?"
"So who lost? Who won? The one who won the most can go to the pier and buy two bowls of seafood. Ah Zheng brought a chicken from home and cooked dragon and phoenix soup tonight to make it more sumptuous!"
Ah Guang swung the banknotes in his hand and said proudly, "I won three games. This is the first time ever. I'm going to the dock to see what's available. You guys kill the chicken first!"
They play cards and gamble a little every day. They are all friends, so they use the winnings to buy food, and they eat, drink and brag together.
Although they were all quite weak, they all had a good relationship. Ye Yaodong was also very excited and volunteered, "You guys play your own games, I'll kill the chicken and I'll clean up."
"Okay, then I'll give it to you. I'll play cards for a while. Call me when you're done and I'll cook!" Xiaoxiao felt as if she had been pardoned. She handed the chicken to him and went to the table.
