Ye Chenghu also quickly carried the bucket behind him and looked at his mother vigilantly.
Dad is still the best!
But when they were not paying attention, the red seal that had just been thrown into the bucket crawled out again. Its big and long tentacles crawled extremely fast, and before they knew it, it climbed onto the corner of the table and kept moving on the horizontal bar at the corner of the table.
Seeing that Lin Xiuqing had stopped, Ye Yaodong planned to sit down to eat. He stepped on the horizontal bar at the corner of the table, and the soft touch made him feel like he was stepping on shit...
"what?"
He was surprised and quickly lowered his head to look at the corner of the table.
"Ah! It crawled out again..."
Everyone looked towards the corner of the table and discovered that the big red seal had sneaked away again.
Lin Xiuqing said quickly, "I told you not to keep it here, didn't I? Look, we just caught it, and it ran away again not long after. If we leave it here overnight, it might even crawl into your bed at night."
She had originally planned to fry the big red seal in the evening, but the two children were crying loudly and threw themselves on the bucket. They were stacked together, pressing them tightly and refusing to let her catch them.
She had no choice but to give up for the time being and secretly cook it tomorrow when they went to school.
Now, I can catch it and cook it openly. Thinking this in my mind, Lin Xiuqing took action.
She caught the red seal that was crawling under the table and said, "Hurry up and cook it, or you won't be able to find it tomorrow. It's yours only when you eat it."
Ye Chenghu said unwillingly, "Can you tie it up?"
"Uh..." Ye Yaodong looked at him with amusement, "You can't tie it up. It's soft all over and can shrink all over. Even if you tie it up, it can still escape. You'd better cook it for your mother. There are still six little white seals in the bucket. They can't escape."
Just die.
However, it was no problem to keep it overnight. If it was left until tomorrow, A Qing would probably cook it or sell it. It would be impossible to keep it. He was just talking about it to satisfy the children verbally.
After all, he wants to be a good guy, and it is enough to have A-Qing as the bad guy.
Ye Chenghu's face was full of confusion and distress, but Ye Chengyang said, "Brother, cook it and eat it. It's so big, it will definitely bully the smaller ones."
He smacked his lips and said, "It's soft, so it should taste good."
Ye Chenghai and the others also said: "You can still eat it after killing it, but we can't even eat it."
“I didn’t see a single hair!”
"that is."
"All right."
In fact, whether he was willing or not, the red seal was destined to be put into the pot. Without waiting for him to say anything, Lin Xiuqing had already scooped a ladle of cold water into the pot, then put the red seal in and covered the pot.
However, just as she turned around to boil water, this guy stubbornly lifted the lid of the pot again, and two tentacles drilled out from the gap.
The children gathered around the stove were all screaming. Ye Chenghai, who was the tallest, quickly lifted the lid of the pot, threw it back, and then pressed the lid tightly.
"This octopus is really good at climbing."
When the adults saw that they had caught the octopus again, they sat back at the table, and Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly sat down and made a fire.
"See? If you don't cook tonight, you can climb up to the ceiling tomorrow."
"You can't eat what's in that bucket." Ye Chenghu bargained.
"Okay, I'll cook it if it dies."
Just agree to it first. Anyway, you can catch them again when they come back from school tomorrow. You won’t have time to make a fuss or cry.
Ye Chenghu was now satisfied and carried the bucket to his room. He had to be on guard against people's hearts! It would be more reassuring to leave it in his room with Xiao Ba as his companion.
The group of children all went to their rooms again.
There is nothing new about octopus to them, as they can see it every day. However, this is something they caught with their own hands in bottles and jars, so it has a different meaning.
Now that I have lost my own, I can only look at other people’s new things.
Lin Xiuqing quickly called them, "There is a bucket of shrimp on the cart. Go and fetch it and help peel the shrimp. Don't just play around. Get the job done before you go to sleep."
"knew."
They ran in with a thump, and ran out in a flash in an instant.
Lin Xiuqing quickly reminded them, "There is a little green dragon in there, remember to catch it and bring it to me later."
"Wow, there are lobsters~ hurry up~"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry~"
They are quite enthusiastic about doing these tasks. To them, peeling shrimp shells is just fun.
After Lin Xiuqing gave the instructions, she pressed the lid of the pot and waited. After the octopus was boiled, she took it out again and cleaned it. Then she cut off its tentacles and cut them into small pieces. Then she went to the yard to pick some garlic leaves and a few chili peppers and stir-fried them together.
The fried red snapper is a little spicy and goes well with rice. Although the locals prefer light meals and like to add sugar to make the food a little sweet, they will occasionally eat something spicy.
It just so happened that Ye Yaodong and his father were still eating there, and each of them was poured a glass of sea snake wine. Her fried red seal was just the right dish for them to go with the wine.
However, after a long time, the group of children still didn’t bring Qinglong in.
She had just finished cooking and had some free time to go out and take a look.
"Where are the people?"
She stood at the door dumbfounded. The yard was empty, with only Ye's mother and the dog.
Ask them to peel the shrimps and bring in the small blue dragon. Where will they go
Without even raising her head, Ye's mother said, "These naughty monkeys tied up the lobster and took it out for a walk."
Lin Xiuqing: “…”
"These bastards."
Other people walk their cats and dogs, but they walk their lobsters
"Ye Chenghu~Ye Chenghu~Where did he go?"
"Ye Chenghu, come back here..."
She stood at the door with her hands on her hips and shouted in all directions.
"I'm coming… "
After a while, the group of people ran back.
"Where's the lobster? If I destroy it, I'll beat you to death."
"Yes, yes, it's still here. I just took it out to show other kids."
Ye Chenghu quickly ran over and handed the rope to Lin Xiuqing, "Take it out for a walk, I'll be back soon."
Lin Xiuqing hit him hard on the head with a five-hammer, "I told you to bring it in, where did you bring it? For a long time... you took it out for a walk with a rope, you're asking for a fight... Go and peel that bucket of shrimps, or I'll stew those little white seals later."
"Oh! That won't do! I'll peel it right away."
Ye Chenghu covered his forehead and immediately ran to peel the shrimps actively, and the others followed him.
Lin Xiuqing walked into the house with the rope, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and even held it up to show Ye Yaodong.
"That's a good thing Ye Chenghu did!"
"Being a little naughty is better than giving birth to a fool." Ye Yaodong picked up an octopus tentacle and ate it with satisfaction.
She shook her head helplessly, untied the rope first, picked up a bowl, and covered the little green dragon to prevent it from running away.
I hadn't even had time to clean the pot; I was just thinking about frying the octopus out of the pot so I could go out and see why they hadn't brought in the lobster for such a long time.
"It's just right to cook it and chop it up and cook noodles for Xiaojiu as a midnight snack."
“Ahh~”
Ye Xiaoxi was already very familiar with her nickname, and when she heard her mother calling her, she also shouted.
"I haven't changed her clothes yet."
"What's the problem if the child is a little dirty? After I feed her noodles later, she might get all dirty again. I can just change them together then."
Well, mothers have more say.
Father Ye said, "In a few days, when the child turns one, remember to go to the city to pick up her grandparents. It's okay to close the store for two days. The two old people haven't had a rest for so long. Bring them back to stay for a few days."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I know. Let's see if I'm free these two days. If I am, I'll pick them up myself. If not, I'll call them and ask Uncle Zhou to pick them up a day in advance. I'll take the opportunity to rest for a few days."
"Of course you should. By the way, while you're on break, pay them their wages in advance. That way, when they return home, you can talk about it and avoid people saying that they worked for you for nothing."
"knew."
"If they have any fruits and vegetables they want to sell, let them bring them to the store and sell them. They are all located there anyway."
"There shouldn't be many fruits and vegetables in this season, right?"
Father Ye rolled his eyes at him and said, "Whether they have any or not, you should speak more nicely. It doesn't matter if they have fruits and vegetables to sell. They don't mind the trouble. They can just pick up a few sacks of sweet potatoes and potatoes and sell them."
Ye Yaodong responded helplessly, "Okay."
Lin Xiuqing listened with a smile on her face. There was nothing more gratifying than having her family respected by her husband's family.
"Then I can let my parents stay here for one night, have a one-year-old dinner together the next day, and then send them back to stay for two days."
"Yeah, this one's easy."
