The elder and second brothers-in-law also heard his cursing not far away and were laughing.
"You were planning to stew it anyway, so it's not unfair for you to be scolded."
"I've changed my mind. I want to let them play for a few more days."
"But you had a good meal last night."
“That’s right!”
…
Around eight o'clock, Lin's mother sent a group of children to the mountain, and then Ye Chenghu rushed over directly.
Ye Yaodong thought that he was so bold that he wanted to hit him, but this guy just lay on the ground in front of him and rolled around.
"My turtle, my turtle... Dad, you clearly said last night that you wouldn't eat it, you lied, you didn't keep your word, you ate my turtle..."
Ye Yaodong looked at his actions with a frown on his face. Where the hell did he learn this
He learned all the tricks of the old women in the village to act like a spoiled brat.
"Get up!"
"No, I don't want it. You have to compensate me with a turtle." As he spoke, he sat up and stamped his feet angrily.
"Get up, I'm not eating yours, I'm eating Yangyang's."
Why
When Ye Chenghu heard this, his eyes widened instantly, "Did you eat the one that Yangyang ate?"
"That's right! Your one is still alive. Stop throwing tantrums and get up and work."
So smart!
Ye Chenghu was stunned for a moment, "Then the remaining one is mine?"
He reacted instantly and was surprised again, "Dad, you said that the remaining one belongs to me, so you can't eat it anymore?"
"Wait until we get home in a few days to eat, and I'll give you two more days to play."
"Then you still have to eat it!" He looked at his father accusingly with a rich expression.
"You can help it choose whether to be eaten by me today or in two days!"
Seeing that he was still glaring angrily, Ye Yaodong lifted him up from the ground and said, "You are a boy, don't act like a spoiled child all day long. If you behave well, I can let you keep it for a few more days. If you don't behave well, I will eat it."
He said aggrievedly: "Then I'll be good!"
"Well, that's right, get to work!"
Ye Yaodong was extremely satisfied. Look, the problem was solved directly!
He had forgotten that there was another one at home.
When he returned home in the evening and saw his little son running out happily to greet him, he happily picked him up and held him high.
Unexpectedly, not long after he put it down, he was just washing his hands when he heard Ye Chenghu smugly saying, "Dad said this turtle is mine. Yours was eaten last night..."
broken!
This guy!
Ye Chengyang immediately refused, and burst into tears, "It's mine, it's mine... mother~"
The evil sound entered his ears, and Ye Yaodong looked at his crying little son with a headache. He felt overwhelmed, and only when he saw his wife coming forward to comfort him did he feel relieved.
This kid is so easy to fool. Just tell him that you will take him to catch another one tomorrow and he will stop crying. Then the whole family can eat in peace.
When it was time to go back to the house to sleep at night, the two children had psychological trauma, fearing that when they woke up, the only turtle would also be stewed. Every time they entered the house, they had to put the turtle in a basin and carry it in.
And then you even tried to put me on the bed and sleep with them
Finally, after being frightened by Lin Xiuqing with a whip, he obediently put the washbasin in the basin. Then Lin Xiuqing said that he would put the washbasin on the table so that he could see it when he turned his head, but he would not be able to see it if he put it on the ground.
Ye Yaodong was also impressed by these two.
After Lin Xiuqing exhausted herself and coaxed the two to sleep, she turned around and glared at the culprit angrily, cursing in a low voice: "Why don't you catch something else? You caught this thing and ate it when they were in high spirits. You made the two cry when they woke up in the morning and made them suffer like this when they went to bed at night. Do you think I have too much free time?"
"Hey, I didn't know they would cherish these two turtles so much."
"You won't catch me if you know that?"
"We still have to catch them. If they are edible, they might not eat them. Let them keep them. I didn't plan to eat them in the first place. Who would have thought that your mother would act so quickly."
"My mother must be thinking about you eating too!"
Ye Yaodong held her in his arms, letting her rest her head on his arm. "Okay, okay, I'll see if I can catch another one tomorrow to make up for it. Go to sleep."
Lin Xiuqing turned her back to him.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about the posture.
I helped my father-in-law pick oranges for two whole days. It was not until noon on the third day that they had picked all the oranges on the hill.
He even picked half a sack of bitter oranges, which he planned to take back to eat!
After picking the oranges, Ye Chenghu ran excitedly to pick grapefruits. Seeing a hanging grapefruit branch, he simply hugged the branch and swung on it.
Then the man, the branch, and the grapefruit fell down together and rolled out...
"Ahhh~ It hurts~ Hiss~ Hiss~"
After he steadied himself on the ground, he immediately climbed up using his hands and feet, and covered half of his shoulder.
Ye Yaodong didn't even have time to shout before he saw him fall out. "You guy, you promised me yesterday that you would be good and obedient, but this is how you behave? If you're thrown out like this, what if you hit your head on a rock?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up a branch from the ground and spanked him hard on the butt twice, causing him to jump up and down and scream.
He could still jump and dodge like that, so it looked like nothing was wrong, and he felt relieved.
"Where did you fall and hurt? Let me see."
"arm… "
Ye Yaodong rolled up his arm and took a look. There was a little bruise on his arm from the fall. "Go back and let your mother beat you up first, then apply tea oil and it will heal."
"Can't you get better without a beating?"
Ye Chenghu felt a little aggrieved. He fell down and was beaten by his father. When he returned home, he was beaten by his mother.
"Beating me and then applying tea oil will have a quick effect and can also prevent recurrence. Be honest and stand aside. If you act naughty again, I'll take off your pants and beat you."
A group of children watched him being scolded with glee, and then climbed up the tree to pick grapefruits with laughter, looking at Ye Chenghu with envy.
He stole a glance at his father, and when he wasn't paying attention, he slipped away to play with his cousins and climbed trees together. It seemed that he had forgotten the pain in his arm.
When Ye Yaodong saw this, he felt pain not only in his head but also on the top of his head. After the scar healed, he forgot the pain. After taking care of the baby for two days, he was almost mad at him and felt like he couldn't let go of the whip.
"Ye Chenghu, get down here right now. If you don't obey me, I'll stew that turtle of yours when I get home tonight."
The man's assurances are useless, even from a 5-year-old child!
Just yesterday you said that you would be good and obedient!
shit!
With his lifeline held, Ye Chenghu immediately and obediently came down from the tree. He did not dare to act rashly now and only dared to pick fruits under the tree.
After picking enough oranges to fill a sack, Ye Yaodong stopped, tied up the sack, moved it to the cart together with the oranges, and then the group went down the mountain.
Today, because we finished picking oranges, we finished work early, at noon, so we still had time to go back for lunch, so we had a leisurely time going down the mountain.
When they rushed down the mountain and saw the river beside them, the children were eager to try again.
"Dad, it's still early. Let's go look for wild duck eggs in the bushes nearby."
Lin Xianghui smiled at his youngest son and said, "It's getting cold, and the wild ducks don't like to lay eggs anymore, what are you looking for..."
"My cousin found three the day before yesterday, maybe there are more?"
"Dad, the weather is good these two days, and the sun comes out for a while during the day. Maybe the wild ducks will sneak out to lay eggs?" Lin Guangyuan said excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at the river.
"Your hand is injured, and you still want to play?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Dad, let's go down."
"Be careful, keep an eye on your brothers and sisters, just look for them by the river."
"Why."
A group of children jumped up excitedly as if they had received amnesty, and then walked towards the river together.
Ye Chenghu also ran along excitedly, but suddenly he remembered something, turned around and looked at his father eagerly.
Ye Yaodong waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Instantly, his facial features brightened up again, and the cloudy sky turned sunny! He also followed them to the shore with a cry.
Ye Yaodong also followed behind. He planned to keep an eye on them. There were so many children, and they were tough, but they still had to be watched when they played by the river. It would not be fun to fall into the water in such a cold weather.
"Ahh~ Dad, ducks, ducks, ducks are coming..."
"Ahh~ They are flying so high..."
"Duck, duck, daddy, daddy, duck..."
I saw a group of wild ducks flying from a distance and landing directly in the upper reaches of the river. A group of children stood on the river bank, dancing and shouting with joy.
The adults on the shore also watched with shining eyes, but they also felt a little regretful, because wild ducks are not easy to catch...
"Dad, hurry up and catch him, hurry up and catch him..."
"Catch the duck~Catch the duck~"
A group of children shouted at their father to hurry up.
Ye Chenghu was also shouting.
Ye Yaodong spread his hands. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without any tools, he was asked to rush into the water like an idiot
"You can't catch them. They fly. I don't have a fishing net. If I had a fishing net, I might be able to give you a snack tonight."
"Ah? Can't you catch him now?"
“You can’t catch it.”
"All right."
The children instantly wilted like eggplants hit by frost.
"Don't look for it anymore. Go back and eat first. Then come out and see if there are any wild duck eggs. They just flew over. Maybe there will be some wild duck eggs to pick up later."
"Yes, let's go back and eat first. After dinner, I'll take you out to look for wild duck eggs and see if I can catch two turtles for you."
They were happy again in an instant. Thinking about the wild duck eggs and the turtles, they climbed ashore willingly. But when they walked back, they couldn't bear to take their eyes off the wild ducks.
Ye Chenghu said reluctantly: "Dad, is it really impossible to catch wild ducks?"
"It's not easy to catch them. I'll come out later to see if they're still there. I don't have any tools right now, and they're all in the water, so I can't catch them. It'll be easier to catch them when we get to shore."
He actually felt itchy and wanted to scratch it.
A man remains a boy until he dies!
