When the dragon, tiger and phoenix soup was about to be served, the fat wife also smelled the aroma and climbed up.
"You guys really know how to eat. You really know how to eat. You cook all the good things in one pot."
"If you don't make it in one pot, you can only drink the water from the pot."
She raised her eyebrows, and the fat man immediately admitted his mistake, and quickly filled a bowl for her with a smile, "Come on, you've lost weight from being busy lately, drink some to replenish yourself..."
Thin
The four men looked at the fat wife from head to toe. Her round figure was like a load-bearing beam, and she had lost weight
“Is this ocelot delicious?”
"You'll know if you try it, right?"
The fat man's wife scooped up a few bites with a spoon and said, "The two children were crying and begging us to stop eating cats."
"How can you listen to a child? This is a wild animal, not a cat. How can you keep it? If you keep it, the dogs, chickens and ducks in your house will all be mauled to death. We already have a dog that we caught from Dongzi."
Ye Yaodong interrupted, "What is your son doing? Can't bear to kill the leopard cat?"
"When I was killing the ocelots earlier, the two of them were still awake. They squatted there and watched with snot and tears, asking me not to kill them. They wanted me to keep them and raise them at home to catch mice."
Ah Guang smiled and said, "I don't know if it can catch mice, but it can catch children. This kind of beast is very wild and difficult to tame. It's better to stew it and eat it as a tonic!"
The era of lack of food and clothing has just passed, who would complain about having too much meat? Only a fool would release it, this is also delicious meat, and it can also be used as a tonic.
"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. After you finish eating, divide the rest among yourselves and take some back with you all. It's already late at night. You can go back and sleep and digest it."
"Eat, eat, eat more..."
The first time Ye Yaodong ate leopard cat, he felt that the meat was a bit dry and old, but otherwise it felt like there was not much difference between it and dog meat
While they were slurping their soup, a little yellow dog was crawling around at their feet and under the table, barking from time to time.
Because when it calls, it will be fed with bones, so it turns here and there.
When their bellies were bloated and they burped, it licked the corner of its mouth with its long tongue. It looked a little satisfied, so it must have eaten a lot as well and had a small tonic.
Right at Ye Yaodong's feet, he touched the little yellow dog's head and said, "You've made a lot of money today."
The little yellow dog raised its head and licked the palm of his hand with its long tongue. It was wet and slippery, so he rubbed it with his backhand.
"Eat well and go home!"
They each packed a bowl of soup, and fearing that the soup would spill while riding their bikes, they left their bikes at the fat man's house and slowly walked back under the moonlight.
Lin Xiuqing had gone to bed early, but she was not sleeping soundly. When the door of her house was opened, she woke up immediately.
When Ye Yaodong turned on the light, she also came out wearing her coat.
"Why did you come back so late? Fortunately, I left the light on to wait for you. There's still some warm rice in the pot. It must have gotten cold. I'll heat it up for you..."
"Don't bother, I'm already full. Come and drink some soup to replenish my energy."
Lin Xiuqing took a curious look and said, "It smells like herbs. Is this the tonic soup you used to eat?"
"Hehe, we're in luck. Today we have an extra ingredient in our tonic soup, including leopard cat. Eat it while it's hot. It's not too hot now, so it's just right for you to eat."
"Ocelot? What's that?"
"It's a wild game. Just eat it. Don't ask so many questions."
"How can I finish such a big bowl? Just fill it with a small bowl, and let the old lady heat up the rest tomorrow."
"Well, you can do whatever you want. I'm going to bed. I'm so sleepy. I haven't slept all day."
"You were out all afternoon and you're only back now. What were you busy with? You were catching snakes until past midnight?"
"Hehe..." Ye Yaodong smiled slyly and shared with her what he had done that night.
Lin Xiuqing was surprised when she heard this.
"So they have a snake in the house?"
“Right!”
"Then can you sleep at night?"
"Then I don't know. It's none of my business."
"200 yuan is gone, and I guess there will be more trouble tomorrow."
Ye Yaodong curled his lips in disdain, "Who knows if it's really gone or just a lie? The thief is crying thief. There are people who would curse themselves without any bottom line just for a little money."
Lin Xiuqing disagreed, "That shouldn't be the case. Who would curse and swear at themselves so harshly? If it's really a case of the thief crying thief, just put on a little show."
"Don't worry about them, just eat your food and listen to the fun tomorrow."
"Well, then you should go to bed first. You got up before 12 o'clock last night to catch a thief. You didn't sleep for several hours. You were busy all day. You just came back from the city and went to catch snakes again. You haven't slept for a whole day and night. Go to bed quickly."
"good."
Ye Yaodong also felt really tired. He hadn't slept for a whole day and night, and was completely supported by excitement. He was very sleepy after eating and drinking just now. Fortunately, he was young and could hold on.
As soon as I returned to the room, I covered the child with a quilt, kissed her pink face, lay down beside her, fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, and even started snoring.
Ye Xiaoxi seemed to think her father was a little noisy. She frowned and twisted her face, kicked off the quilt that had just covered her, and swung her little fist to the side.
Ye Yaodong was sleeping soundly and felt nothing.
The next day, the sun was high in the sky, and the dazzling light shone through the window outside. He turned over uncomfortably, pulled the quilt over his head and wrapped it up, and continued to sleep.
He didn't know how long he slept, until the voices outside the house became louder and louder. He dazedly pulled the quilt off his head and looked out the window.
What's the noise outside
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and the more he listened, the clearer he became.
It turned out that Wang Lizhen's husband's family and her parents' family had a fight over 200 yuan. After being tortured by Lao She for a whole night without sleeping, Lao Wang was so angry that he pushed his in-laws' waist to the edge of the dining table. After he dodged, he took the opportunity to beat him up...
Wang Lizhen's man, who was lying on the bed, heard the news and went over too. Then he slipped on the dirt road and rolled down the hill. His back of the head hit a rock and blood covered the ground. No one knew about it and he died.
Ye Yaodong sat up as he heard the conversation outside getting louder and louder.
In his previous life, this man didn’t know what year he died, but he remembered that it wasn’t that soon, because his second aunt kept scolding him every other day, but he still didn’t die…
Unexpectedly, the 200 yuan became his death warrant!
Fortunately, Brother Asheng made compensation early and broke up with that woman first. Now that the man is dead, he doesn’t have to marry this woman, and his family can live in peace!
It's worth spending 200 yuan to buy a peaceful life for the rest of his life, especially since the woman didn't give him a son.
Most importantly, none of them got the 200 yuan, but they were so upset.
Hahahaha, that little thief did a great job yesterday.
Ye Yaodong had a good sleep, and when he woke up he listened to a story, which swept away his tiredness, and he got out of bed and got dressed refreshed.
I picked up the watch that I had taken off the table and put it on, then checked the time. It was almost ten o'clock. No wonder the neighbors were gathered together to gossip.
When he went out to take a look, he saw that these women were indeed sitting in front of his elder and second brothers' houses, carrying their vegetable baskets, picking vegetables and talking. Ah Qing was also helping his two sisters-in-law dig up fresh Chinese cabbage.
The old lady stood beside him, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, rolling them non-stop. "It's almost time for lunch. I don't know why you slept for so long. The porridge in the pot has gotten cold. I'll heat it up for you, or I can heat up the soup you brought back yesterday and eat it..."
"Is there any soup left?"
"Yes, I'll heat it up for you."
The old lady wrapped the Buddhist beads around her wrist twice before walking to the table, lifting the bamboo table cover, and bringing a small bowl of soup to the stove.
"You didn't eat?"
"No, I'm already old, what else do I need to supplement? Your father drank a small bowl of food this morning, and there are still two pieces of meat and a little soup left. I'll heat them up for you, just eat them."
Ye Yaodong frowned as he looked at the two lonely pieces of meat at the bottom of the bowl. Should he be so humble even for such a small thing
"I don't want to eat anymore. I ate a lot last night. If I eat more, I'll have a nosebleed. You can heat it up and eat it yourself. I'll just eat porridge."
"Just a little bit..."
"Just a little bit, just eat it."
"Then save it and give it to your mother to eat in the evening."
Ye Yaodong looked at her with a helpless smile as she brought the food back to the table. He said nothing more and let her eat it or not.
When he finished his porridge, the people at the next door were still talking enthusiastically.
He pushed the bicycle that Fatty had brought back that morning and walked out, shouting to Ah Qing, "Don't cook for me at noon, I just ate."
"Where are you going? It's almost time for dinner..."
"I'm going to the county town for a while. I won't be back for lunch."
Lin Xiuqing originally wanted to ask him why he was going to the county town, but the words circled around her tongue and she swallowed them back. She thought he must be going to the shipyard.
A few days ago, he told his father that he would find time to visit the shipyard, but he has been unable to do so. Now that he says he wants to go to the county town, he must be going to the shipyard.
Ye Yaodong didn't care about other people's reactions, he just got on his bike and rode away.
"Hey, why is Adong going to the county town?" Mrs. Ye asked curiously.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "I don't know either. I didn't have time to ask him because he rode away on his bicycle. He was busier than anyone else all day long. I barely saw his shadow. I couldn't even see him eating or sleeping."
"What does it matter if he can make money? Who cares where he goes? As long as he can make money, that's enough. If he doesn't make money and just hangs around at home every day, it makes me upset."
"Yeah, as long as we get the money back, it doesn't matter where it goes."
"That won't do. Men become bad when they have money. You need to keep a closer eye on them, but you can't just ignore them."
Lin Xiuqing nodded and laughed, "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense."
Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle through the village and could still hear the hot gossip that had just come out today. Many people were saying that Ye Yaosheng had withdrawn from the marriage in time.
