After filling his stomach, he actually felt a little sleepy.
How does that sentence go
Ah yes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex~
Pity…
It didn’t work in the first three months, and it didn’t work in the second three months. How is his wife supposed to live
Oh, that's not right... It's already November...
Ye Yaodong happily washed the dishes quickly, then went back to his room and lay down, continuing to think about what he had just been interrupted about.
Goggles, snorkel, flippers...
As a result, before my brain even started to work, I fell asleep...
When he woke up, the sun had already set. He looked at Lin Xiuqing, who was folding clothes, with sleepy eyes and asked in a daze, "What time is it?"
"Isn't your watch next to your pillow?"
He touched his watch and saw that it was already 4:30. He had slept for the entire afternoon. He closed his eyes again, intending to relax a little.
"Get up and give the old lady her cotton-padded jacket."
"it is done?"
"Well, take it over and let her try it out to see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
"good."
This time he didn't stay in bed anymore. He sat up, stretched, then got up and put on his clothes.
Lin Xiuqing handed him two sets of folded cotton coats and trousers and said, "Come back early. I'm going to cook."
"Got it." He went out with the clothes in his arms and shouted at the door, "You bastards, go back home."
Ye Chenghu jumped out from nowhere, yelling, "Dad, wait for me~"
Ye Chengyang also ran and fell and crawled over.
Ye Yaodong brushed the dirt off his body, then picked him up with one hand, held his clothes with the other, and took the two children away to prevent them from being naughty at home and making his wife angry.
But this guy didn't appreciate it. When he saw Ye Chenghu running in an S shape in front of him, he twisted his body in his arms and wanted to get off and walk by himself.
Ye Yaodong just felt so annoyed that he was not happy to be hugged, so he put him on the ground and slapped his butt hard, "I don't want to hug you anymore, get out of here..."
As soon as Ye Chengyang was put on the ground, he ran forward happily. As a result, he slipped on a small stone on the ground and fell flat on his face. He didn't cry, but got up, spat a few times, and continued running...
Ye Yaodong had already stretched out his hand, so he had to retract it. He is indeed tough! Falls make you grow faster!
The two of them led the way, and he followed slowly behind. Before they reached their hometown, the two children started shouting from a distance: "Grandma, Grandma, we are here to see you."
The old lady was sitting at the door helping to pick beans. Seeing them, she happily touched one’s head and another’s face and said, “Walk slowly, don’t run.”
Ye Yaodong handed the two flowery cotton jackets to the old lady and said with a smile, "Grandma, Aqing made these for you!"
"Ah?!" The old lady stood up in shock and widened her eyes, "For me? Hey you~ you loser child, why are you making clothes for me? You... you're going to piss me off to death..."
After being surprised, the old lady angrily slapped his arm repeatedly, scolding him for being a spendthrift...
"I'm already half buried in the ground, I'm about to eat rice cakes, why do you make me clothes? It's a waste of money, I'll burn it when the time comes. You're going to piss me off to death, spending some money like this..."
Ye Yaodong stood still while she beat him, laughing and yelling twice on purpose, "It hurts, it hurts so much, hit me more gently~"
The neighbor next door smiled and complimented the old lady, "You are so lucky. Even at your age, your grandson still makes new clothes for you."
"We are nothing. We can't even count on our children and grandchildren in our lifetime..."
"Yes, it's made of floral fabric, so pretty..."
The old lady complained angrily, her face glowing with ruthlessness: "This kid spends money recklessly as soon as he has some. He bought me dentures a few months ago and sends me food every other day. Now he wants to make clothes. Ah Qing is really something. He didn't even bother to stop me. I don't have many years left to live, and he's still wasting money..."
"Oh, you are lucky~"
"We haven't got this fate yet..."
"Hey, you, please don't do that. It's not easy for young people to earn some money. You're just wasting it on me, an old lady. What a waste." The old lady looked at the fluffy cotton jacket in his hand with distress. She knew that a lot of cotton must have been used. "Take it back and ask your wife to dismantle it and make it for you. I don't want it. I'll wear some old clothes. I won't feel bad if I burn it later..."
"Why are you talking about this?" Ye Yaodong was a little annoyed that the old lady kept talking about her funeral.
He put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the house. "Ah Qing has made two sets of clothes for herself. You can keep them. My younger sister is getting married next month, so you should wear something nicer."
"What's so good about it? Why would an old lady like me with wrinkles on my face wear something so good-looking? You can take it back and alter it for your younger sister..."
"Ah Qing is making it for her. This is a gift to you. Don't say anything more. Take it inside and try it."
Ye's mother was cooking in front of the stove. She heard the noise at the door. She looked at her grandson and grandmother and said with a frown, "You have some money, but you spend it all day long instead of saving it."
The old lady nodded in agreement and complained, "That's what I mean. What a waste of money. How many times can I wear these clothes..."
Ye Yaodong just felt a little overwhelmed. If he had known earlier, he would have asked his wife to send it over. Women are really difficult to deal with!
From childhood to old age, it’s always difficult!
If I send them some gifts and try to be nice to them, I will be blamed and scolded.
Father Ye sat in the corner, puffing away at the cigarette. After a while, he helped out by saying, "This is a gift from Dongzi. You should keep it. He's been lucky lately and made a lot of money. You can spend it if you want. It's not a waste of money. Huimei will get married in two months. It's just right to wear it. It will be festive and bring some good luck."
"Yes, yes, yes, my father has spoken." Ye Yaodong quickly stuffed the clothes into the old lady's hands, "Take it back to the house and put it on. If there is anything that doesn't fit, I'll ask Ah Qing to modify it."
The old lady looked at the flowery cotton-padded jacket in her hands with a look of heartache. She didn't even dare to touch it, for fear that the thick calluses on her hands would scratch the clothes.
When she lowered her head, no one noticed that her eyes were actually a little red.
She had suffered for half her life and had never worn such beautiful clothes. She didn't expect that she would be able to enjoy this blessing when she was old.
She lowered her head and walked into the house, not wanting anyone to see her expression.
After returning to the house, she quietly wiped away her tears, then carefully unfolded and put on her new cotton-padded jacket.
Ye Yaodong sat in the room, shaking his feet, and looked around, "Where's my little sister?"
I've been here for a long time, but I haven't seen her come out of the house.
"I went out with Guang. He said he went to town to buy something. He should be back soon."
Damn, everything will be legal once we get engaged.
Mother Ye pointed to a pile of sweet potatoes in the corner and said, "Your aunt brought these. Take a few back to cook sweet potato rice later. These ones with red core are very sweet."
"oh."
He also planted a small patch in his backyard, but he planted it a little late and it was not yet time to harvest.
The old lady came out of the house with an uncomfortable look on her face. She looked at her clothes and felt uncomfortable all over. She didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.
"This... this seems too flowery, too young, and I'm too old..."
"No, it's so pretty and looks so young. If you go out wearing this dress, you will definitely be the best-looking old lady in the village."
The old lady was so amused by him that she laughed and scolded him, "Nonsense, my face is full of wrinkles, what's so good about it..."
"Really? When you go out, all the old men in the village will look at you twice!"
"Nonsense..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, your grandfather will get worried and jump up from the ground at night to beat you." Ye's mother said unhappily.
"To be honest, who doesn't like to look good? This outfit is so pretty. Wearing gray all day long should change the color occasionally..."
With Ye Yaodong around, the house was always lively. He even took a mirror to look at the old lady, who was so coaxed that she smiled from ear to ear.
"What are you so happy about? We heard the noise from the house from far away." At this time, A Guang also came back with Ye Huimei. They both came back on bicycles.
When Ye's mother saw the bicycle at the door, she wiped her hands on her apron in surprise, then stood up and walked out.
"You bought a bicycle? Why didn't you tell me when you left?"
"I bought it if it looked suitable. I have to buy it anyway. I will be going to town many times in the future, and it will be convenient to have a bicycle." A Guang said with a beaming face.
Father Ye also looked at the bicycles at the door with a happy face. After three turns, there was no bicycle at their house. He was very proud. "Come in and sit down. We will have dinner at home tonight. I have cooked more food."
"Huh? This old lady looks really good. She looks energetic and younger. People would believe you if you said you were over 60..."
He is indeed a good brother, and he has a lot of words to coax people.
The old lady had just been coaxed, and then she was given some love potion, and she couldn't stop smiling.
Ye Yaodong glanced at this guy sideways, feeling that his position was about to be lost, he didn't dare to say such a hypocritical word!
"It was given by Dongzi. Dongzi just brought two sets over. They are both very nice."
Ye Huimei also smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good-looking, youthful, festive, and very energetic!"
The old lady tugged at the corner of her clothes cheerfully, "Both sets fit me well, no need to alter them. I'll go into the house and change the clothes. Put them away, don't get them dirty."
After A Guang and Hui Mei came in, Ye's father and mother kept talking to them, asking what they had bought. After all, A Guang had no mother, and he asked his aunt to help with some things. Ye's mother felt worried and wanted to keep a closer eye on them.
After Ye Yaodong had nothing to do, he accompanied the old lady at the door to pick beans and chatted with her. Then he told the old lady about the small yellow croaker he had picked up for free at sea this morning.
The old lady smiled and said, "We also had them at our dock decades ago, and the number was much larger than what you encountered. There were not only small yellow croakers, but also all kinds of fish."
She looked into the distance with a nostalgic look on her face, and then started talking.
"It seems that it was more than 40 years ago, not long after the Chinese New Year, someone found a lot of fish floating outside the dock. Someone curiously caught them and found that they were still very fresh. Then the news spread quickly, and the whole village went to the dock. More and more fish gathered on the sea. With the washing of the waves, a bunch of fish were stranded on the beach, some big and some small, but mostly small fish..."
"The whole village was in an uproar. Even people from other villages ran to our beach. The whole family brought all the containers in their homes and picked up the waste in basins and baskets. The whole beach was full of people. It lasted for about two hours..."
Ye Yaodong listened with great interest, "And no one said what happened? This happened suddenly."
"Later, I heard people say it might be related to the water currents. It was said that the cold water from the Yellow Sea and the warm water from the Taiwan Strait met in our sea area, forming a 'water barrier' that made the fish feel uncomfortable. They floated to the surface and were washed in by the waves. I heard that other villages also had this problem, but not as many as ours."
“It’s amazing, I haven’t even heard of it.”
The old lady smiled and said, "Your father was not even as old as your son at that time, so it's strange that you knew. So many years have passed, and many people have long forgotten about it. Besides, many things happen at sea, and all kinds of things happen every year."
He instantly became interested again, "Anything else new? Tell me about it."
"Then I'll have to think about it carefully."
"Think slowly and say whatever comes to mind. It can help activate your brain and prevent Alzheimer's disease."
The old lady smiled and patted him, "I'm 80 years old, and I don't have Alzheimer's. I'll be buried in a few years, so I definitely won't have it either."
