After being scolded, the three children were extremely quiet and obedient while eating.
Even after eating, he would take the initiative to put the bowl in the washbasin. Under normal circumstances, he would throw the bowl away and not know where to go.
They are still reluctant to leave and are lingering in the room, going back and forth. Even a blind man can tell what they want to do.
The couple pretended not to see anything and the old lady did not say anything. She never interfered with the couple's teaching of the children. She always took the child in her arms and comforted him afterwards, unless the person being taught was Ye Yaodong, then it would be different.
She smiled at the three cousins who kept looking into the cabinet, and said cheerfully: "Go next door and see if Ah Hai and the others are being punished to stand and have no food to eat?"
The three of them ran out out of curiosity.
Ye Chengyang had short legs, and before he could even run out of the yard, others had already run back and forth, so he could only turn around and walk back into the house.
"They were standing against the corner."
Ye Yaodong glanced at them and said, "Then you still have food to eat, shouldn't you be content?"
"Well… "
Lin Guangyuan pulled the two of them and said, "Let's go out and play."
The couple still loved their child, and when it was time to go to bed at night, as soon as they returned to the room after taking a shower, Ye Yaodong drove Ye Chengyang to the next room and did not allow him to sleep with them. Then he asked A Qing to make malted milk for them.
I bought it for them to eat anyway, there's no need to hide it.
Just as the three of them lay down and prepared to go to sleep, they heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and then a strong milky aroma filled the whole room, and the lights in the room lit up.
Everyone shuddered instantly, sat up quickly, turned their heads excitedly to look at the door, and said in unison: "Maltese..."
Lin Xiuqing walked towards them with the bowl in her hand. "Ayuan's is on the table. Go get it yourself."
"I have one too!" Lin Guangyuan excitedly ran out to get it himself.
How could she favor one over the other
The rich aroma of milk hit their noses. They blew it gently and drank it in small sips, with expressions of great satisfaction on their faces.
Lin Xiuqing asked them to drink by themselves, told them to take the bowls out and put them on the table after they were done, and then went back to the house.
"I made an extra bowl. Bring it to the old lady."
Ye Yaodong put his hands behind his head, not wanting to move at all, "Just bring it in."
"I'm afraid the old lady won't drink and I can't persuade her. You have to do this."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and it was true. The old lady had long been accustomed to saving up the delicious food and drinks for them.
"All right."
He got up and went outside to bring the malted milk to the old lady. Passing by the doors of several children's rooms, he saw them licking the bowls, finishing them completely without a drop left.
Suddenly I sighed in my heart and realized that I ate too little.
Thinking that the old lady is already old, if possible, I would buy them some food for a long time to supplement their nutrition.
The old lady was still awake at this time. She had just returned to the house after enjoying the cool air and was still chanting sutras.
Her room was filled with a strong smell of mosquito repellent, without any rotten old man smell. This was quite rare. Generally, when old people get old, they have a rotten old man smell on them, which is not very pleasant and easily makes people stay away.
Ye Yaodong took some malted milk and used it to dispel the mosquito smell in her room. He said with a smile, "Don't recite the sutras. Drink this and go to bed early."
The old lady looked at him in reproach, "Just give it to the little ones, why did you make it for me?"
"Ah Qing made it for you. She was afraid you wouldn't want to drink it, so she asked me to bring it to you. It's a gift from your granddaughter-in-law, so you can't refuse to drink it, right?"
The old lady was so happy that her gums were showing. "It's good that other people's daughters-in-law don't dislike the elderly. She is much better than other daughters-in-law, and better than your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Don't buy me this and that, it makes your daughter-in-law unhappy."
"She's not unhappy. She's not a petty person. She just asked me to buy you some drinks later."
He added the last sentence. Anyway, when the time comes, he just needs to convince his wife shamelessly. This won't be a problem.
"Don't buy it, don't buy it, it's too expensive..."
"You drink it first, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
"You drink it, I don't. You work all day and need to replenish yourself. I sit at home every day and do nothing. I feel very comfortable and don't need to drink these things." The old lady waved her hand and was not ready to take it. She turned around and went into the house, "Close the door for me."
Ye Yaodong put the bowl on the small table and said, "I've drunk it, and so have the three children. If you give it to them and I find out, I'll beat them up."
"Ah?" The old lady looked at him helplessly, "Then give it to your wife..."
"She already has enough milk... She's had enough soup and water. You drink yours. If you don't drink it, I'll take it out and give it to the big black dog at the door."
The old lady slapped him angrily and said angrily: "You give such a precious thing to a dog, I will beat you to death!"
Ye Yaodong shrugged, "Who told you not to drink?"
"Go, go, go... If you go out, you will make me angry."
"Then remember to drink it. Next time, eat whatever you are given. If you don't eat it, I will give it to the big black dog."
The old lady was heartbroken when she heard him say that. "You loser!"
"That's your fault! I'm going to bed, remember to drink it."
After saying that, he went out directly.
Every time I send her something to eat, I have to nag her a lot, which will make him annoyed. So I just give her a shot of prevention in advance. It would be best to solve the problem once and for all. In the future, it would be best to let her eat whatever I give her.
You have to feed her every day. If she gets used to it, she will get used to it and won't be nagging. They all came from a time when supplies were expensive and scarce, so they ate too little.
The wind was strong and the waves were high at night, so we couldn't go out to sea. Ye Yaodong slept soundly until dawn, when he was awakened by the smell of instant noodles.
He got up following the smell and saw a group of children standing by the stove, all attracted by the aroma.
"You are born in the Year of the Dog, right? You have such a keen nose. I just smelled something and you are already standing there waiting."
"Uncle San, how much is a pack of this instant noodles?" Ye Chenghai sucked the saliva in his mouth.
"28 cents a pack. What? You want to buy some? How much private money have you saved?"
"I won't tell you."
Lin Xiuqing said to Ye Yaodong: "The noodles are ready, go wash your face and brush your teeth."
She looked at the children lying on the stove and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't cook more just now, I'll make two more packets for you to share and taste..."
"No need, Third Aunt. My mother has cooked porridge and we should go back to eat it." After saying this, Ye Chenghai quickly pulled his younger brother and sister, urging them to go home.
Ye Chengjiang licked his saliva, turned around and took his younger brother and sister home.
The two of them were taught a lesson yesterday, and today they were extremely obedient and honest, and no one stayed to eat and drink for free without understanding the meaning.
Seeing this, Ye Yaodong did not keep them. He decided to teach them a lesson when it was time to do so, so that yesterday's education would not have been in vain.
Lin Xiuqing filled a bowl of instant noodles for each person. As soon as it was placed on the table, the three children rushed to grab the bowls, not caring about the heat, and scooped up a full bowl, but only took small bites.
"tasty… "
"It tastes so good and smells so good..."
“The instant noodles are so delicious~”
They took small bites, reluctant to eat too fast.
The old lady was the same. Everyone sat down to eat, but the instant noodles in front of her had not been touched.
Ye Yaodong was speechless and simply carried her noodles out of the house. This made the old lady anxious. Thinking of what he said yesterday, that he would serve the noodles to the big black dog, she quickly followed him.
She is so nimble that you don't think she is an old lady.
"Hey, hey, hey... where are you taking it?"
"Hey, dog! Don't you want to eat?"
"I want to eat it, I want to eat it! Isn't it too hot? Let me cool it down..."
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward and took the bowl from his hand, cursing: "I bought this with money, how can you bear to give it to a dog? I really made too much money, it's too hot, I didn't say I didn't want to eat it, I just wanted to soak it for a while, so that it can swell more later..."
Ye Yaodong was very upset when he heard this. It was just instant noodles, but he had to wait until the noodles expanded a little before eating them
However, these days, there are still only a few people who can easily spend two or three cents to buy instant noodles. After all, based on the value, they can buy a family bucket.
Moreover, nowadays, most people can just order a family bucket, but people of this era would not just buy a pack of instant noodles.
The three children also thought it made sense.
"Yes, yes, yes, wait a while until it's a little more bloated before eating..."
One by one, they put down their snacks and prepared to wait until they were a little swelled before eating again.
He couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"If it swells, it will become bulgy and not tasty. Who would wait until it bulges before eating noodles? Don't you know what bulgy noodles taste like?"
A few of them looked at each other, feeling that the noodles were too chewy and not very tasty.
"Fast food!"
At the command, everyone started eating with big mouthfuls without any hesitation.
The old lady also sat down again. She stretched her neck to look into the bowls of her two great-grandsons. She wanted to transfer the noodles from her bowl to their bowls to share, but seeing that Dongzi was staring at her, she had to glare at him and eat obediently.
Ye Yaodong shook his head. The rarer they were now, the less he would like to eat them in the future.
If Ah Qing hadn't cooked porridge this morning, he really wouldn't have wanted to eat instant noodles and would have had enough of them long ago.
"Adong, I think the waves are a bit big this morning, and there's a bit of wind, which makes it quite cool. Is there another typhoon coming?"
He put down the fast piece, frowned, and looked outside. "It's really possible."
When I got up and went out at night, I saw that the waves were obviously bigger than during the day, and there was wind.
The old lady quickly continued, "Then you must not go out to sea these days. Last year, we went out to sea during a typhoon, and the whole family was almost scared to death."
"I know."
It's okay to do this once. He wouldn't have the courage to do it again because the wind and waves on the sea are very cruel.
After finishing his noodles, Ye Yaodong ran to the door to see if the waves were big.
The children had just finished drinking up all the soup in their bowls and licked the bowls clean. Seeing that there was still some soup left in his bowl, Lin Guangyuan happily brought it over and the three of them shared the soup.
Lin Xiuqing also shared the unfinished noodle soup in her bowl with them.
The old lady also had this intention, but she had eaten and bitten all the noodles in the bowl, and she felt that she was not as clean as the young people.
Most people would dislike the elderly for being too picky and would not dare to eat what they have eaten. She didn’t want to give the food she had bitten to the children, so after hesitating for a while, she still ate it all.
