As a result, I returned home and had to work again.
In the more than an hour since he went to the old house, Lin Xiuqing had already washed all the radishes dug in the morning and put them in baskets. He also took an extra large basin and put a wire pusher on it. On top, a little shredded radish has been pushed inside.
"You cleaned up so quickly, why can't you take a break?"
"Aren't you thinking that while the weather is good, you can finish drying it? Cut it into silk, dry it for half a day today, and then dry it for a day tomorrow and then put it away. It just so happens that the toads and fish are all dried and put away, and the bamboo flats are free, and so on After lunch, I’ll brush it and use it to dry the shredded radish.”
"Are you also thinking of doing more work while I haven't gone to sea for the past two days?"
"As long as you understand!"
Ye Yaodong waved to her helplessly, "Go, go, I'll do it. Go and cook, you're starving."
Lin Xiuqing stood up with a smile and gave him the work. The two children beside her also shouted excitedly, "Roast sweet potatoes, roast sweet potatoes, mom, go bake sweet potatoes..."
After squatting there for most of the day, I was finally ready to roast sweet potatoes.
"Then go and mix the mud yourself, stir it with a stick, pull up your sleeves, and don't get mud on your body."
"Okay~" Ye Chenghu rushed into the ground like a gust of wind, and Ye Chengyang followed closely behind.
Ye Yaodong only looked up and continued to push the shredded radish, ignoring them and just stirring the soil. Who can't do that?
After a while, the two children hurried over to the basket to get sweet potatoes.
"Don't be greedy and make it too big, otherwise it won't be cooked easily. Use an oval shape of medium size."
"I know dad!"
When Ye Yaodong saw the two of them holding one and running away, he shouted again, "There are more lakes."
After thinking about it, he seemed to think something was wrong? I don’t think I saw them entering the house to scoop out water?
"What are you getting with the mud?"
"Pee~"
Hearing this, his eyes widened, "Fuck...you guys are really good..."
As he said this, he ran over and picked up the two children who were stirring with sticks. "You're a kid, right? Naughty, go in and wash your hands, I'll do it for you."
He also wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes and use urine...
Who can withstand this...
After scooping out a ladle of water, mixing it with a pile of mud, and wrapping seven or eight sweet potatoes, he took it in and threw it into the stove.
"You're not doing your job properly, I asked you to push shredded carrots, and you brought two of you to play in the mud..."
Ye Yaodong said depressedly: "Do you know what your two good sons are mixing with mud?"
"Huh? What?"
"Urine, luckily I asked, otherwise we would all be doomed."
"Why are you so stubborn that you find out? Anyway, I don't want to eat."
Lin Xiuqing saw that he was deliberately squinting his eyes to look down on her, so she stretched out her hand to straighten his face in amusement, "Go wash your hands and start working, the whole team of donkeys don't dare to rest like this."
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the child's inattention and quickly kissed her cheek before going to wash her hands and continue working.
After a busy afternoon, he shredded all the radishes, sliced them into slices, and dried them on bamboo flats.
After twisting his sore waist and bending over to push the wire, he felt his waist was sore again.
At this time, a small hand touched his waist and gave him a few gentle squeezes.
"What, are you getting benefits?"
"If you want the cows to run away, of course you have to make sure they are well fed. Tomorrow, you have to dry the sweet potato shreds. While the weather is good, they will be dried in the sun. I don't know if there will be good weather next."
"Keep doing it."
"Didn't you also say that you want to dry sweet potatoes?"
Ye Yaodong put his arm on her shoulder and walked into the house, "You can do whatever you say. There is no damaged land, only exhausted cows... hiss~"
Lin Xiuqing pinched his lower back secretly.
…
I worked for two days in a row, harvesting the radishes and sweet potatoes in the field, and then re-sowing them. I finished all the work at home.
After it was almost done, Ye Yaodong went to the old house to take a look. Apart from the sweet potato noodles that were still settling, there was nothing to do at home.
After asking about his father's rheumatism condition, he said it was much better, and then he was about to go find Ah Cai, but he was intercepted just after he came out of the old house.
"I searched a lot for you, and you are here!"
Ye Yaodong was confused and looked at Secretary Chen who suddenly appeared inexplicably.
"What's up? What's the matter? Do you want to pay for the newspaper?"
Apart from this, he couldn't think of anything that could happen to him if Secretary Chen asked him.
He hasn't set a date yet, so he's in such a hurry?
Secretary Chen chuckled lightly, "Am I going to chase you for the money for the newspaper order? Besides, if I need to ask for it, the postman who delivers the newspaper will ask you for it."
"Then why are you looking for me? You're looking for me all over the place, what good can you do?"
He just said it casually and as a joke. Unexpectedly, Secretary Chen actually smiled and nodded, "I'm just thinking of you because I have good things going on. Let's go and talk to your house first."
"What a good thing. There is a shortage of village cadres. Do you need someone like me to take over?"
"It's a beautiful thought. You've only been in literacy class for a few days and you dare to think about it?"
"Aren't you thinking that Secretary Chen has a backdoor like you? Haha~ It's not this, it's not that, so what do you want from me?"
"Let's talk about it at your house!"
"Still mysterious?" Ye Yaodong suddenly became suspicious and felt that it was not a good thing.
"Anyway, good things are coming to you."
As they walked, the two casually chatted about the latest happenings in the village.
After racking his brains along the way, Ye Yaodong couldn't figure out what good thing could come from Secretary Chen's sudden visit to him?
It wasn't until he returned home and heard Secretary Chen's question that he understood the reason and was shocked.
"How far are you from being a householder worth 10,000 yuan?"
"Scared..." Ye Yaodong's eyes widened, "Do you believe the rumors spread in the village?"
"Is it really a lie?"
"What nonsense? Where did I get 10,000 yuan? You are a householder with 10,000 yuan, which is still enough."
Secretary Chen glared, "Nonsense, I'm just going to farm, where can I earn a household worth ten thousand yuan? You want me to go in directly."
"Then you don't have it, and I don't have it either."
"But you have sold a lot of goods in the past few months! I heard that you caught up with the sardine storm some time ago and made a lot of money. These days, there are oarfish and abalone. There is definitely no shortage. Earn. Even if it’s not a household worth ten thousand yuan, it should be close to it.”
Ye Yaodong quickly begged for mercy, "Secretary Chen, you think highly of me. This ship full of goods does not belong to me alone. My father also has a share. Wherever I go to earn ten thousand yuan, my ship has just been replaced not long ago."
"But you definitely made a lot of money."
"Who knows I owe money?"
"Don't fight with me, haha, I'm telling you seriously," Secretary Chen felt that he couldn't follow this guy's words and would easily be led by the nose, leading him to do Tai Chi.
"Now that the New Year is approaching, the county has issued a document asking us to report whether there are households worth ten thousand yuan in each village? We need to use this to motivate the people. We will also hold a commendation meeting to award honors, and it can also be published in newspapers. What a rare opportunity Chance, are you sure you are not a millionaire?"
It’s none of his business, he is really still more than half away from being a household worth ten thousand yuan, ***, I don’t know who spread the news first.
"Of course I'm sure. People outside are talking nonsense about how much money I earn, but I still don't know how much I earn. I'm still far away from being a household worth ten thousand yuan."
Secretary Chen was doubtful, but said with some regret: "Isn't that true? I thought you were close, so I thought I could lend you some money and do some operations. First, we can implement the reputation of a household worth ten thousand yuan, and our village can also do it." Be famous by the way.”
Ye Yaodong laughed and said, "Secretary Chen wants to lend me a little more money, that's no problem, but just forget it for a household worth ten thousand yuan, right?"
"speak nicely!"
Well, he put down his legs that had been crossed and said: "I also want such a glorious ten thousand yuan household, but it's not that good.
If there are too many, I can’t fool people, right? I still know how much I weigh. "
"Hey, why don't we just borrow some money? We thought our village was going to become famous. What a pity."
"Hmm, just wait. I'll let you know when I've saved up enough money."
"If you miss this rare opportunity, who knows if there will be another time? When you save enough money, maybe it won't be a surprise anymore."
"Forget it then. You can also search around the village to see whose family is richer? If you are close, you can join together and send him to heaven... oh no, send newspapers to him..."
They are all in black and white, almost a slip of the tongue.
Secretary Chen frowned, "You are the most famous in the village right now, and you are still far behind. Who can get there?"
He shrugged, "I can't do it anyway!"
"A man can't say no!"
"But I really can't do it, I am Yangao."
Secretary Chen almost spit out his tea with a sip of tea, this guy!
"Okay, I know you can't do it. I'm leaving. I have to intercept it. I don't know if it has been reported yet."
"Damn it... you didn't ask the parties involved, you made lies, and you weren't afraid of getting into trouble..."
"Who knows you, Yangao?"
