"It's just not easy to get into bed."
"Fuck, how are you going to get on the bed? Do you think it's inconvenient for me to carry you to the bed?"
Ye Yaodong was so angry that he was about to jump up and down. He had been busy for so long, but she had a better idea. What's more, she didn't tell him earlier, but waited until he had finished what he had done before telling him.
Lin Xiuqing's face flushed with embarrassment after hearing his shouting. She also stamped her feet, "Speak a little quieter. You are shouting so loudly when talking about something like this. Are you afraid that others can't hear you? Isn't it embarrassing? The old ladies are all outside, and there are people next door. You are so careless all the time, saying whatever comes to your mind, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others."
"Fuck, you still feel embarrassed, then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I didn't expect that earlier."
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "Never mind, it's already been nailed, let's just leave it like that."
"There's still a gap here. If my daughter crawls around, she'll still crawl here..."
"Otherwise, nail them all up. Why don't you go up to sleep? You just said you didn't want to go to bed. Why are you so troublesome?"
"Isn't this giving you some advice? It's not convenient to get on the bed, and the child might roll over here..."
Ye Yaodong pushed her directly towards the opening, letting her fall onto the bed, then he pressed himself on top of her and sat astride her. "Why is it difficult to get on the bed? This is quite easy to get on the bed! It's also convenient for doing things."
Lin Xiuqing slapped him in anger and said, "Get off. It's embarrassing enough that you just shouted so loudly. If you press on me again, if someone sees us..."
"I was in my room, who saw me?"
Unable to push him away, Lin Xiuqing had to change the subject, "Go and take your baby daughter back to the house. The child is still young, don't take her out after dark. Go and take her back quickly."
"Hehe! I'll spare you first."
The old lady was originally sitting at the door holding the child and playing with him, but later she took the child back to her room. Ye Yaodong looked for the child but couldn't find him, so he went to knock on the old lady's door.
The old lady opened the door and said with a smile: "How about the child sleeping with me at night? I sleep alone, the bed is more spacious, the child can roll around without worrying, I am an old lady who doesn't sleep much, I don't feel sleepy when I get up to change diapers at night. You young people sleep a lot, you have to sleep well at night to be energetic during the day..."
"No, no, she needs to drink milk several times at night. It's fine for her to sleep with us. It's not convenient for you." Ye Yaodong said as he walked into the house.
"It's still early, let her play with me for a while..."
"No, I have already nailed the sticks."
Ye Xiaoxi can already sit up, but she still likes to play while lying down. Now she is lying on the bed, holding a half-rolled red ball of thread that the old lady had held at night, which is already covered with her wet saliva.
Ye Yaodong didn't despise her. He just reached out and wiped her chin, then picked her up and said with a smile, "You are so greedy. You lick everything."
"All children are like this. She wants to eat. I will make her some longevity noodles later. After eating, she won't need milk at night. Just come with me..."
"No, no, we just finished dinner, go to sleep."
Ye Yaodong walked out holding the child.
He was a little embarrassed. The old lady kept asking the child to sleep with her. He felt that she must have heard his previous roar in the house and wanted to give the couple some space to "fight"...
Awkward…
As soon as he entered the room, he said, "The old lady has always wanted to keep the child and has always wanted the child to sleep with her."
He can't be embarrassed alone, he has to share.
"Why do you want to sleep with her?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened, and she punched him on the back several times with her fists. "Look, she must have heard you talking nonsense just now. She has very sharp ears. I'm so angry. We are not the only ones at home. You keep talking nonsense all day long... It's so embarrassing..."
Ye Yaodong held the child and dodged, but the child thought he was playing and giggled.
"Why are you embarrassed? It's not normal for a couple to do things this way."
"You still say."
"Then let's not talk about it..."
Ye Yaodong put the child on the bed and moved her close to the edge of the bed. As a result, he saw her kick the wooden stick with her foot, and then her whole body tilted. She kicked again and bounced back a little bit.
She immediately started dancing and laughing happily like silver bells, kicking wildly but couldn't reach the wooden sticks that were surrounding her.
Seeing her kicking and waving her hands and feet with joy, Ye Yaodong felt very satisfied. His daughter was indeed very understanding and his hard work was not in vain.
"See? My daughter loves the fence I made."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, not wanting to look at his smug smile, "It's so ugly."
"It's ugly only to us, we didn't ask anyone to see it. It doesn't matter if you live there alone. In two years I'll get you a Simmons mattress. It's sure to be soft and comfortable to sleep on."
"Bah! You'd better stop talking nonsense, and keep talking about going to bed... Go out and call the two boys back. They have to go to school tomorrow, and they are still hanging out outside."
"It's just getting dark, let's go a little later. If you call him back, he'll still make a lot of noise. Let's just let the noise next door, and call him back when he's had enough noise."
"You are really good at calculating."
"I'm going to go fishing tomorrow and get some shellfish to dry in the sun. Do you want to come with me?"
Lin Xiuqing was somewhat tempted, but when she thought of her children at home, she felt she could not get away. Her eldest son was in school, and her two younger ones also needed her care.
Ye Yaodong also knew what she was hesitating about, and quickly said, "Old Two can play with the spinning top at home or take it to my dad. Little Nine can lie on the bed with the old lady watching over it. If it's hungry, stew an egg or make some longevity noodles, and it will be enough to feed it. It won't take most of the day."
"Then tomorrow morning?"
"It will still be high tide around 6am tomorrow, so we can go out for a walk."
Lin Xiuqing was still a little hesitant. She felt that it was not a good idea to just leave the child alone to play, and it would be a psychological burden.
To her, going fishing is not much different from going out for fun.
"Forget it. You can go alone, or ask your friend named A Guang to go with you. A Guang is free at home anyway, and I'm worried about leaving the child at home."
"Why worry? There are so many adults, and they can't take care of two children? There are adults at home, not without adults, and they haven't been gone for a long time."
"Then let's talk about it tomorrow... tomorrow!"
"I wanted to take you there during these two days of free time, but you were still hesitant. Huimei wanted to go so much before, but I didn't want to take her with me. She had to ask me for a long time before I relented. Now it's your turn, do you still have to coax you to go?"
"How can it be the same? She was a girl then, couldn't she have fun as much as she wanted? I am already a woman."
"Haha, a 26-year-old woman."
She always felt that what he said was strange. Lin Xiuqing found it a little odd, but she didn't ask. She thought that married women were all like that, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Seeing her looking at him suspiciously, Ye Yaodong smiled and reached out to pinch her soft buttocks, "Wash your feet and go to bed."
"What time is it?"
"It's dark and cold outside. Why don't you go to bed? Should you sit in a chair and wait for the time to come?"
Lin Xiuqing glared at him and said, "Go call the kids back first, lock the gate and windows, and I'll knit for a while."
"Why are you knitting? It's hurting your eyes at night."
"The weather is getting cold quickly. I need to knit several pieces. I need to finish them soon."
"Why are you in such a hurry? In previous years, you couldn't survive the winter without a new sweater. You can just wear any ragged clothes. What's so special about a child? He rolls around on the ground with snot running down his nose every day."
"It would be better to wait until the Chinese New Year to give them new clothes. Otherwise, if you knit them now, they will have to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year. Wouldn't you feel bad?"
His clothes were all worn out, so the two children could wear them casually too.
Lin Xiuqing felt that what he said made sense. She had made a cotton-padded jacket for him last year, and now he was knitting a new sweater. Would she have to buy another one for the New Year
Thinking of this, she was no longer anxious.
Putting down the sweater in her hand, she began to take off her clothes, including her pants, leaving only a small vest and shorts.
At this time, women did not wear bras or underwear, but only a small vest and very loose shorts.
After she took off her clothes, she lay down on the opening on the bed, her feet still hanging on the ground, and said, "Come on, hurry up."
"ah?"
Ye Yaodong looked at her lying flat on the bed with her hands spread out, and was stunned for a moment.
"Hurry up, aren't you coming?"
Ye Yaodong: “…”
Did she take his pinching of her butt as a hint? She took the initiative to take off her clothes and lie down...
"I didn't say I was going to do it. I just felt like touching and pinching you. Since you want it, here I come."
Lin Xiuqing sat up instantly, her eyes wide open, as she watched him quickly strip off all his clothes, even his shorts.
"Etc., etc… "
"What are you waiting for? Aren't you anxious? I'm ready and will satisfy you right away..."
Lin Xiuqing just realized she had made a mistake and her face instantly turned red to her ears. Seeing that he was coming closer, she pushed him in the abdomen with her hand.
"I didn't want it, I thought you wanted..."
She sat there with that majestic thing facing her face and touching her cheek, making her face even redder.
"Move away..."
"Don't be embarrassed. We are an old married couple. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I won't laugh at you. We know each other well." Ye Yaodong continued to tease her with a wicked smile.
"No..." She felt like she had no way to defend herself. Seeing the guy so close to her, she couldn't even speak clearly. She quickly moved her butt backwards and pulled her feet back onto the bed.
Ye Yaodong grabbed her feet and approached her, "Don't hide, why are you hiding? It's not like you haven't seen it before, come on..."
Lin Xiuqing was both amused and angry. Now that the time had come, she couldn't say no. She had been planning to do it for him in the first place.
"The lights are still on and the children are still awake."
"You were the one who took off your clothes and lay down first, and then asked me to get on top of you, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiuqing kicked him angrily, "Turn off the lights first..."
"Why turn off the lights? It's not like I haven't seen it before. I've tried it many times in broad daylight..."
"Go turn off the lights!"
"Excuse me, when I lay down on my own initiative just now, you didn't even tell me to turn off..."
