Ye Yaodong had just said it casually to tease him, but he immediately realized that this was the only way to go. If everyone said they were busy and wanted to watch the fun, who would take care of the village security
This big show will last for five days. If there are only twenty or thirty people patrolling, then he won't have anything to do during those days. He will just wander around from morning to night without any fun to watch. Who would be happy about that
It is necessary to force every household to send one male adult. The village belongs to everyone. Setting up a militia team to patrol for a few days can also ensure the security of the village. No one wants to suffer any losses to their family.
"Okay, okay, just hit your fly, I'll go talk to Ade."
"Okay, okay, tell him to remove me."
Ye Yaodong turned around and gave him a look, letting him experience it himself.
However, when he ran to the village committee, the committee was also discussing the militia, and they were all saying that every household should send one male adult, otherwise everyone would want to watch the fun and no one would want to stand guard and patrol the village.
Director Ade also said that he posted a few comments in the morning, but few people were interested. After all, this was just temporary and not like before. Who would be willing to miss such a good show
"Adong, what's the matter?" Secretary Chen asked when he saw Ye Yaodong leaning against the door.
"Oh, I came here to talk about the militia as well."
"Haha, who else do you want to sign up for?"
"We're signing up for all the villagers in our village. The opera will last for five days. It's going to be so exciting. Who wants to watch it? I want to watch it, too. The militia can recruit more people to work in shifts and share the work. Each person only needs one or two days, and they can still have other time to watch the fun. This way, we can avoid delaying either party."
"We are also talking about this. We are going to go door to door this afternoon to notify them. Then we will arrange shifts, patrol a few hours in the afternoon and a few hours in the evening. We can set up several teams, and one person can patrol for a day or half a day at most. This is better."
"Okay, as long as you have your own ideas. I just happened to be chatting with Ah Zheng about this, so I wanted to come over and give you a suggestion, to avoid chaos in the village and thieves in everyone's homes."
"This will definitely be arranged. We were still discussing it. I just mentioned it to you casually this morning. I didn't expect you to be so proactive." Ade said with a smile.
"Of course we have to be proactive. When the time comes, the whole village will go to the Tianhou Temple to watch the excitement, and every house will be empty. Isn't this just waiting for thieves to come?"
"Well, let's discuss it. We'll go door to door tomorrow to talk to them."
"Okay, it's none of my business. I'm leaving now." Ye Yaodong said hello and slipped away.
The village had never been so lively before, and he was really looking forward to it. In his previous life, it was ten years later that the Mazu Temple was built. Although it was also very lively, it was definitely not as lively as this life. After all, the leaders of the county would come to visit, and the whole village would be proud to hear about it.
Moreover, he remembered that in his previous life, the opera only lasted for three days, but the village was already more lively than ever before. In this life, he didn't know if it was because there was a lot of money left over from building the temple, and there were leaders coming, so he spent a lot of money and actually hired a troupe for five days.
The old lady didn’t live to that time in her previous life, but she can see it and enjoy it in advance in this life.
He walked back leisurely. There were not many people in the village at this time. They were probably all called home for dinner.
And there were children in groups of three or four coming back from school. They were running and jumping with their schoolbags on their backs. They would stop to pluck some dogtail grass on the roadside, and stop to catch dragonflies and butterflies for a while, and then run further and further away from home...
Ye Yaodong looked at the children chasing excitedly, smiled, and continued walking on his own.
However, when he saw his son squatting in front of him, letting Ye Chenghai kick him on the head twice, he could no longer laugh.
This idiot!
"Ye Chenghu, what are you doing?"
"Ah? Dad?"
When Ye Chenghu saw his father coming over, he immediately ran towards him with a smile, "Just now, Sister Xiuxiu jumped over my head while I was squatting there picking up marbles. This will bring bad luck, so I asked Brother Ahai to scratch my head twice, and then it won't happen again."
Ye Yaodong was very upset after hearing this, but he was like this when he was a child, so he couldn't be blamed for being stupid.
"Go home and eat!"
"Uncle San, when will the tide go out today?"
"I'll retreat in a moment."
"Then let's go pick up the octopus after we finish eating."
"Uncle San, when will you buy us instant noodles and soda? Do you have enough money?" Ye Chengjiang asked impatiently.
Ye Chenghu shouted anxiously, "How can it be enough? There are so many of you, 123456... There are many more bottles and cans left by others on the beach now, and the ones we catch have become less. How can my father have so much money?"
This is a food protection. If you don’t have it, it’s best if others don’t have it either!
"We've been catching them for many days, so there must be enough to buy food." Ye Chenghe said unwillingly.
"Don't pay attention to him. Third Uncle has the final say. He wants money but not food. He has nothing to eat himself, so of course he doesn't want Third Uncle to buy it for us." Ye Chenghai said clearly.
The kids stared at each other, almost like cross-eyed cocks.
Ye Yaodong shook his head helplessly. Was he still waiting for them to be discovered so that he could beat them up and then buy them food to comfort them
I didn’t expect that I could hold out for so many days without being discovered.
He went out to sea in recent days, and he collected these people and secretly put them in his house. Anyway, his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law went out to sea with him, and they didn't know anything when they came back. Sometimes they were busy and forgot about it, so no one asked about it, and they really escaped a disaster.
"Okay, I'll go to the store and buy some for you after dinner. You can take them to school this afternoon and they won't be discovered."
"Thank you, Uncle San!"
Hearing the affirmative answer, several people shouted excitedly in unison that their recent efforts were not in vain.
Only Ye Chenghu was depressed.
However, by the time he had lunch, he was no longer depressed and became excited.
Because he heard unclear cries for help and insults from the next door, and soon, he also heard sounds of beating and scolding from the next door, this time they were particularly clear, and his eyes sparkled.
Brother Hai and the others were beaten!
Hehe, it must have been discovered.
Humph, who told you to ask my dad to buy food for you every day
When the old lady heard the scolding and beating from next door, she quickly put down her chopper and said, "What's going on? Why do you beat your child before eating? You haven't been home for a few days, and you're not quiet after just one day at home... I'll go check..."
"No need to look. What are you looking at? He must have just returned with the empty bucket and was discovered."
Ye Yaodong knew from the noise that he was finally exposed.
The old lady stayed at home all day because she knew that these children were very smart and sent all the octopuses they received to Dongzi's house, and then carried empty buckets back home every day, clearly showing that they were ungrateful.
"Then go and save them..."
"No, if I go I will have to hear that they sold me out. If I don't go I can still pretend I don't know and later I can buy them instant noodles and soda to comfort them."
Without knowing the truth, they could still be good uncle and nephew.
"You're already this old, and you're still messing around with them all day long."
"You eat yours."
After saying that, Ye Yaodong glared at Ye Chenghu again, "Don't gloat over other people's misfortunes. Eat your meal. Now you know how important it is to have a good father, right?"
"Then will you buy me instant noodles and soda too?"
"What the hell do you want? Buy it yourself."
Ye Chenghu was depressed again. He caught some octopuses and sold them to his father, but his father always took half of it. It was obvious that he caught more than the others, but after splitting it in half, he got the least. Even if he saved up for several days, it was not enough to buy the octopus.
Lin Xiuqing was feeding Ye Xiaoxi porridge and just watching and listening silently. It was obvious that it was the eldest and second sisters-in-law who beat the children, but he praised the importance of being a good father and was trying to flatter himself.
After lunch, looking at the six boys and girls standing at the door of his house with their hands covering their buttocks and crying, Ye Yaodong didn't wait for them to say anything and went to fulfill his promise with a smile on his face.
He took the initiative to push his bicycle out and bought six packs of Hongfa instant noodles and six bottles of orange-flavored soda to comfort their wounded hearts and bodies.
Ye Chenghai tearfully distributed a portion to each of his brothers and sisters. He still held the last portion in his hand and did not want to give it to Ye Chenghe, and even pointed at his nose and cursed him.
"You idiot, you fool! You pissed me off! You got all of us beaten up and left us without food. You should have asked your uncle not to buy you food, you pig-brained idiot."
Ye Chenghe was also about to cry, "Who knew my mother was so smart? I just said I didn't want to eat lunch, I just wanted to save some space for instant noodles and soda..."
"You pig-brain!"
Ye Chenghai was so furious that if his butt wasn't in pain from being spanked, he would have wanted to pin this idiot to the ground and give him a good beating.
"Why do I have such a stupid brother like you? It makes me so angry."
Ye Yaodong now understood why they were exposed, and Ye Chenghe almost laughed to death, what a pig-brained guy he was.
Not smart indeed!
The little boy, who eats up his father, goes to school for most of the day, makes a lot of noise all morning, and comes home hungry. How can a child not want to eat? Normally, there are times when they are not full.
Isn't it obvious that there is a problem
Is it okay to ask for a fight
It also implicated a group of brothers and sisters, who were beaten and starved together.
Ye Chenghe is not a smart kid.
Lin Xiuqing was also listening with a smile on her face. This kid is a little silly but cute.
"It's all your uncle's fault. If I had told you that I would buy it after school, you wouldn't have been discovered."
"Haha, is this still my fault?"
Ye Chenghe actually nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, if Third Uncle said he would buy us food after school, I wouldn't say I didn't want to eat. This way, Mom wouldn't find out, and we wouldn't have to get beaten or go hungry."
Not smart indeed.
Ye Yaodong flicked his forehead hard, turning it red, and threatened: "So, you don't want to eat instant noodles and soda anymore, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault. It has nothing to do with Third Uncle." After saying that, he snatched the instant noodles and soda from Ye Chenghai's arms.
The beatings were over, and if there was no food left, he would cry himself to death under the bed.
They had just been beaten and were standing in the corner as punishment. They didn't even have anything to eat, so they were counting on this for a meal.
Ye Chenghu looked at them with a gloating look on his face, holding the rice crust in his hand. Now he was no longer envious of them for having something to eat.
He also had some rice crust, which was also very fragrant. The key is that his stomach was full, so he didn’t seem to be so greedy anymore.
"It smells so good, and the rice crust is so crispy~"
Ye Chenghe glared at him, waved the instant noodles in front of his eyes a few times, and pressed them hard to break them into small pieces, "Instant noodles are more fragrant and crispy."
Ye Chenghu was unmoved and deliberately sat on the stool next to them, but he seemed to have his butt on fire and sat up again, saying in a funny way.
"Oh my goodness~ It hurts~ It hurts~ My butt~ My butt~"
The six boys and girls all frowned at the same time, wanting to rush up and pin him to the ground and beat him up.
Ye Yaodong looked at his eldest son's rude appearance and felt that he was somewhat familiar with it...
Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted her eldest son on the back of his head, "Don't make a fuss, or else when your brothers and sisters get well, your life will be hard."
“Hehe~”
"Guoguo, I think instant noodles are more delicious!" Ye Chengyang also held a small piece of rice crust in his hand.
"You're an idiot too."
Ye Yaodong smiled at the group of children and said, "Alright, hurry up and finish eating and go to school, otherwise you will be beaten again if your mother sees you later."
Several children nodded rapidly and started to make the instant noodles in their hands.
In an instant, the room was filled with the sound of plastic bags, followed by a crunching sound and the gurgling sound of drinking drinks.
Ye Chenghu suddenly felt that the rice crust in his hand was no longer fragrant, but dry, even though it was very fragrant and crispy just now.
I glanced at Ye Chengyang, and saw that he was still eating with relish. If you didn't know, you would think he was also eating instant noodles.
Fool!
He ran to the door unhappily and squatted there.
Unexpectedly, the old lady came out slowly and hit him on the buttocks twice with her cane, "Get up, get up."
"Atai?"
The old lady felt in her pocket, took out a handkerchief, opened it with a slight tremor, took out two five-cent coins and handed them to him, smiling and whispering, "Is that enough?"
Ye Chenghu was so excited that he almost jumped up. He nodded quickly and whispered, "Enough, enough."
"Don't tell anyone."
"Uh-huh."
Ye Chenghu happily took it and put the two coins into two pockets separately, so that there would be no sound~
His face flushed with excitement. He planned to buy some at the school gate later and secretly bring them to school to eat. This way, Yangyang and the others wouldn't know about it, but his classmates would know.
He is so smart.
