Liao Miaomiao was very sure that she wanted to learn from Dabao: "Don't you want to teach me?"
Dabao shook his head: "But, I am a primary school student." The implication is that Liao Miaomiao is a junior high school student. How can a primary school student teach a junior high school student.
Ye Fan heard the voice and came out of the room: "Dabao, if we are three people together, there must be my teacher. Miaomiao doesn't know what you know, and you don't know what Miaomiao knows. It's normal."
Dabao immediately agreed: "Okay."
Dabao's brain is very fast when he is young, and Ye Fan is worried that he won't be able to teach it at the moment and becomes impatient: "Dabao, my sister has never learned it before, so you should teach it slowly. Don't be in a hurry."
Dabao became a teacher for middle school students for the first time, and he was very excited: "Don't worry. Erbao, just watch, if you don't learn again, I will beat you!"
Erbao Guru said something. Dabao didn't understand: "What did you say?"
"If you don't learn again, I'll beat you!" Erbao said loudly.
Dabao understood, and his sister spoke in Russian again: "I suspect you are scolding my brother. Just wait, I will learn it when dad comes back, and ask dad what he means."
The second treasure is not afraid, the elder brother cannot learn: "Ask."
Liao Miaomiao also recognized the Russian spoken by Erbao. Her father tried to teach her, but before she got the hang of it, her father couldn't stand it and thought she was stupid. He spoke as if he was not his biological child. She didn't say anything to make her so stupid, and her father had the nerve to slap her down.
The eldest brother and the younger sister came out to play, and it was very interesting to watch the elder sister's gestures. They also came over and asked Dabao to teach them.
Dabao took in three apprentices in the morning. He was so tired that his face was red, but he was still very patient.
Ye Fan made a meal and asked him to eat, but Dabao was not fully satisfied yet.
"Do you like being a teacher so much?" Ye Fan asked while wiping his sweat.
Dabao shook his head: "It's fun."
Ye Fan: "You can't go out and show off. People won't look after you, and you will easily attract people's hatred. You are still young, so you can't beat them. When you grow to Miao Miao's height, you can show off." I added in my heart, I won't want to be low-key when I get used to it. Show off.
Dabao knows that he is right to listen to his mother many times: "Mom, don't show off."
Ye Fan: "What if your classmates say you are bragging? Just say, brag is bragging. You are not my parents, nor are you my good friends. I don't want to show you. It's like playing monkey."
Dabao has never seen a monkey before: "What is a monkey?"
Ye Fan thought about it: "Tease the dog with a bone."
Dabao doesn’t want to be a dog, and his attitude is very determined: “Don’t even think about it!”
Ye Fan pulled him into the house and saw Erbao grabbing vegetables: "Geng Erbao, don't you have chopsticks?"
The chopsticks are not easy to use, and the second baby is about to be beaten. He grabs a steamed bun and stuffs it into his mother's hand: "Mom, eat."
Ye Fan grabbed her ear with his other hand. Erbao couldn't believe it, how could he still touch her.
Dabao laughed.
Erbao didn't dare to hit his mother, so he didn't dare to hit his brother. He slapped him on the arm, and Dabao's chopsticks were knocked off. Ye Fan put down the steamed bun and made a serious face. Erbao stood up in fright. Ye Fan didn't want to scold his children during meals: "Apologise to my brother."
As soon as Erbao said he was sorry, Dabao forgave her, asked her to sit down, and went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks. When he came back, he saw that his mother and sister were both silent, and he persuaded his mother not to be angry because his sister was playing with him.
Ye Fan: "Geng Erbao, don't make a move. Geng Dabao, don't laugh at your sister."
Dabaoxin said that when you were cooking, your sister scolded me in Russian. But he didn't want his sister to cry when her mother beat her: "Mom, eat. My sister eats vegetables."
Erbao is very discerning and imitates his elder brother in picking up vegetables for his mother.
Ye Fan laughed angrily.
Erbao didn't care why his mother was laughing, as long as she laughed, it meant that her anger had subsided, so he pushed the shrimp in front of his mother.
Considering that Erbao was three years old and didn't know how to dislike it, Ye Fan asked while peeling the shrimps: "Dabao, mom often makes shrimps. Do you think it's shrimps again? Dabao has enough?"
Dabao: "Can mom make braised pork?"
Ye Fan asked: "Is it because mom doesn't want to do it?"
Dabao understands and wants meat tickets.
Ye Fan: "Do you want to eat oysters?"
Dabao hurriedly said: "No. It's fishy, smelly and unpalatable."
Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "But your father likes it."
Dabao rolled his eyes speechlessly: "What does mom do that dad doesn't like?"
Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "How about eating shrimp?" He handed him a shrimp. Dabao took it and said while eating: "Can I not eat it tomorrow? I don't want to eat it every day."
"Of course. I'll buy clams and snails tomorrow, and then a fish." Ye Fan peeled another shrimp for his son, "Should you boil or steam eggs in the morning?"
Dabao likes the taste of egg yolks, but finds them choking: "Egg custard. Mom, can you make fried rice cakes with eggs and vegetables? The rice cakes made by Dadi's family yesterday are delicious."
Ye Fan nodded: "Eating fried rice cake tonight?"
Dabao was immediately satisfied.
Ye Fan asked: "Er Bao, where are you?"
Erbao wants to eat braised pork just like his brother. Since there is none, everything is the same. Erbao raised his head and smiled: "Mom is the best."
Dabao knocked her on the forehead: "Flattery!"
Ye Fan took a sip of the porridge and found it wasn't hot, so he asked the two children to drink the porridge. Dabao and Erbao each take a salted duck egg, peel it clean and mash it with a spoon to make porridge.
When it comes to salted duck eggs, we have to start from last year.
Ye Fan chatted with Su Yuanhang and mentioned raising ducks. At first, Su Yuanhang didn't tell anyone except his father. The food factory made its first business. Su Yuanhang thought Ye Fan was reliable, so he told the various teams about her proposal.
Then, every household in the duck-raising brigade has a dozen or dozens of ducks. After raising too many ducks, some duck pens needed to be disposed of. Su Yuanhang sold them directly to supply and marketing cooperatives in the name of a food factory. Naturally, live ducks cannot be sold. Get up early, kill and clean them up, and send them to the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning. Duck eggs are made into salted duck eggs, and the food factory makes them themselves.
Ye Fan also took the opportunity to learn how to pickle two jars of duck eggs from the locals. During the days when Tao Chunlan and Yu Wentao were here, the Ye family would cook a few salted duck eggs every time they cooked porridge.
This time when Ye Fan went back, he wanted to bring them a jar. Neither of them wanted it - they had eaten enough.
Ye Fan was worried that eating too much would be bad for the health of Dabao and Erbao, so he never reminded them to eat salted duck eggs. Dabao ate whatever he wanted without feeling bored. While drinking the porridge wrapped in salted duck eggs, he asked: "Mom, why don't grandma and grandma like salted duck eggs? The egg yolk is delicious."
Ye Fan: "Because I want to eat meat just like you."
Dabao shook his head: "No. You lied to me."
Ye Fan told the truth: "I didn't have money to buy meat or meat coupons before, so your grandma used to pickle salted duck eggs. One duck egg was shared between my uncle, grandma, and I. Although it's just that much for one person -" he gestured to the two children, " But eating this small amount every year is enough.”
Dabao didn’t understand very much: “Grandma and grandma have eaten enough, and you still cook?”
Ye Fan: "They have eaten enough pickles. If they don't cook salted duck eggs, they will have porridge or stir-fry. But oil needs tickets like meat. The meat tickets are gone and the oil is gone. Should we steam fish and cook vegetables every day this month?" br>
Dabao shook his head: "Let's eat salted duck eggs."
Ye Fan smiled and touched his head, saying to himself that my son is so easy to coax. It suddenly occurred to me that Dabao was in his second grade and it was time to understand that life is not easy. Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "Dabao, if you see a person doing something every day, such as eating mixed noodles and steamed buns, don't ask them why they don't eat meat or vegetables."
Dabao: "Why don't you eat?"
"I don't have money to buy it. Look at Miao Miao's family. Her mother doesn't have a job, so her family is not as rich as ours, right? There are many people whose parents have no salary, and their children can only eat the cheapest noodles. Knowing them Why don’t my parents have a salary?”
Dabao doesn’t know, please tell mom.
Ye Fan: "I'm illiterate. Their grandparents are very poor and have no money to send their parents to school. Their grandparents also want to make money and work hard to make money, but their money is lost to bullies like Huang Shiren, and who are better than him?" Worse people and foreigners took it away.”
Dabao: "Have they robbed grandpa and grandma of their money?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Your grandma fought them with a knife and escaped death by chance. Many of the fishermen's ancestors and brothers and sisters on this island are not as lucky as your grandma. Even after they were beaten to death, they didn't even get their money back."
Dabao looked down at the porridge in the bowl, as if thinking about something, and Ye Fan stopped.
Ye Fan took two mouthfuls of porridge, and Dabao looked up: "Mom, if I don't show off to my classmates, what delicious food will you make?"
Ye Fan was very pleased: "You can show off. Show off to the classmates who say bad things about you and bully you."
Dabao nodded: "I didn't say their clothes had patches either."
"No one wants to wear patched clothes, just like no one doesn't like eating meat."
Dabao said very seriously: "Mom, I remember."
"Let's eat. You're still young, so I don't blame you for not understanding. Mom didn't understand until she was in high school."
Dabao was surprised: "I'm only five and a half years old!"
"Dabao is very powerful."
Dabao shook his head: "My mother is amazing."
Erbao couldn't help but say: "Flattery!"
Dabao: "Do you know what we said?"
Erbao knows: "Don't bully good classmates."
Ye Fan was surprised: "Er Bao really understands this?"
Second treasure: "The first treasure is stupid, the second treasure is smart."
Dabao raised his hand, and Ye Fan quickly grabbed his arm: "Eat. You'll be late again."
The brother and sister hurriedly looked at their mother's watch. When they saw it was almost eight o'clock, they finished eating and left in a hurry. Ye Fan quickly wiped their mouths with a towel, then closed the door and chased them out.
Zhuang Qiuyue was tidying up the vegetable patch in the courtyard: "Why are you so anxious?"
Ye Fan held back his laughter and said, "We're almost late."
Zhuang Qiuyue was surprised: "Do you like school so much?"
Ye Fan wanted to explain that they were not tired of studying and there were still people playing at school. When he looked up, the two children turned a corner. Ye Fan hurriedly caught up with Er Bao and picked up Er Bao, carrying Dabao's schoolbag. When he arrived at the school gate, Dabao saw many classmates fighting on campus and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, you are not allowed to talk to me during meals in the future."
Ye Fan gave her the schoolbag: "Mom, remember. I will send my sister to kindergarten."
Dabao waved his hand with his schoolbag and turned into a steady primary school student.
The primary school students got off school early, and Dabao arrived home in the afternoon before the sun went down. Dabao went out with Erbao after finishing his homework. Ye Fan was currently in the food factory watching the workers packing and receiving the goods, while Geng Zhiye sat at the door with a bench and watched the children.
Zhuang Qiuyue was still tidying up her vegetable patch in the courtyard. When she saw Geng Zhiye, she said that no one dared to bully them when Dabao and Erbao were playing at the door.
Geng Zhiye thought to himself, Ye Fan and I used to watch our children play, and in everyone's eyes, were we afraid that the first and second eldest children would be bullied? We can't let them misunderstand like this. Geng Zhiye closed the door and walked over and said, "I'm afraid that Dabao and Erbao will be curious and go to the mountains and seas, or jump into wells."
Zhuang Qiuyue was stunned for a moment.
Geng Zhiye guessed it correctly and was speechless and wanted to laugh.
Zhuang Qiuyue came back to her senses: "Don't you dare, Dabao and Erbao?"
"Children don't know the heights of the world, so they don't dare to do anything. They can't help but touch the fire." Geng Zhiye remembered that when he was a child, the country had not yet been established, and gunshots could occasionally be heard where he lived with his parents. Not only was he not afraid, I also wanted to follow the sound of gunshots and watch the excitement. Thinking about it now, Geng Zhiye couldn't help but say that he could only survive because of the blessings of his ancestors.
Zhuang Qiuyue probably thought that her three children had been naughty before, so she nodded in agreement, and then asked if his family grew radishes.
Geng Zhiye even wanted to ask her if there were only five people in her family and she could finish all the food in the courtyard.
"I don't know. I'll ask her when I get back." Geng Zhiye saw Dabao and Erbao running east, so he followed them slowly.
Dabao saw that his father did not ask him and his sister to go back, so he went exploring to the mountainside with a group of children.
Someone was collecting firewood on the mountainside. They saw Geng Zhiye and said hello, and then asked if they were looking for their children to go home.
Geng Zhiye said with a half-serious smile: "I'm afraid they will get into the wild boar's nest."
The member collecting firewood smiled and said: "These children are very naughty. They are not afraid of anything at this age. No matter how young they are, they dare not run around, but no matter how old they are, they are easy to take care of."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "I am also afraid of poisonous snakes."
The commune member nodded while tying firewood: "Yes, the snake has not hibernated yet. By the way, Captain Geng, is your firewood finished?"
Geng Zhiye: "The two old men picked up so much before they left that they couldn't even fit in the kitchen, and some of them were placed under the eaves."
The Shanxi brigade is behind the family area. You can usually see Yu Wentao and Tao Chunlan when they go out to eat and fetch water. Naturally, they cannot avoid the people from the Shanxi brigade when they go out to collect firewood. As soon as Geng Zhiye said this, the members remembered it and still want to ask: "You and Accountant Ye are both from the city, and city people also burn firewood?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "My mother-in-law lived in a cave dwelling in the countryside for several years. She made her own clothes, grew her own food, and chopped her own firewood. My mother lives in a rural area outside the city."
The members said to themselves that no wonder the two of them looked like city dwellers, knew how to grow vegetables and collect firewood, and looked like rural folks: "Will you come back in the future?"
Geng Zhiye: "Come on. They like it here."
The members did not expect that city people would like their deserted island, and they were very happy when they heard this.
Probably because Geng Zhiye was watching from the roadside, a group of ignorant and fearless children did not dare to go into the woods. After playing at the foot of the mountain for a while, they felt bored and ran to the roadside, holding small sticks or small flowers and grass while muttering. What side to go to the village.
There were wild cats, geese, and old cows in the village. Geng Zhiye was afraid that a group of children would hurt the animals and that their itchy hands would attract cats and dogs, so he continued to follow them.
A fisherman's child asked: "Geng Yanyan, why is your dad following us? Are you afraid that we will beat you? We don't fight."
Dabao shook his head: "Dad doesn't want Erbao and I to go to the mountains and play in the water. I don't even believe it when I say we won't go." He sighed helplessly, "No matter how old I am, I am still a child in my father's eyes."
A group of children felt the same way and immediately couldn't help complaining that their parents were like this too. They were told not to run around or fight with others before they even left the house. I was scolded as soon as I got home and I knew how to play every day.
A group of children talked endlessly about their parents and discovered that they all had the same parents. They felt like they were brothers and sisters in the trenches, and their relationship suddenly became closer.
Passing by Dabao's house before, the fishermen's children were very curious about Ye Fan's house and dared not go in. Now I know that Accountant Ye is also a layman. The next afternoon after school, he threw his schoolbag at home and went out to play. When he saw the door of Dabao's hall open, he shouted: "Geng Dabao."
Geng Dabao looked up at his father, can he go out?
Geng Zhiye: "Do you do your homework after dinner?"
Dabao nodded obediently.
Geng Zhiye stood up: "Let's go."
Dabao exclaimed: "Are you going too?"
"I won't come close!" Geng Zhiye put on Erbao's shoes, "Will Erbao go?"
Erbao nodded obediently and got off the bench.
Several children waiting outside the door rolled their eyes helplessly when they saw the person behind Geng Dabao, as if "I have obeyed Captain Geng."
Geng Zhiye kept his word and watched the children playing by the door.
The kids were not used to it for the first few days. Later I heard that Dabao's father was on vacation and a group of children couldn't keep him away, so he had to get used to it. This period also coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and telegrams came in from the capital every day asking for goods.
Ye Fan and Su Yuanhang initially only prepared three trucks, one and a half trucks for Haidian Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and two trucks for Xicheng and Dongcheng. Because there is no intermediary to sell the goods, things are cheap, and it is just in time for the holidays. I have to buy some to go to relatives even if I don’t eat, so I have to buy two wagons at a time and take goods three times.
At first, Su Yuncheng and Su Duofu were worried that Haidian Supply and Marketing Cooperative would not be able to sell out all the goods and asked them to bring them back. Later, when he saw not only adults and aunts, but also young people, Su Duofu pretended to be curious and asked them why they all came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things and why they didn't go to department stores. The young worker first said that things here are cheap, and then said that he didn't know about it last year. He looked like he had missed tens of thousands of dollars.
On August 14th, Ye Fan distributed the money and paid wages to the temporary workers. Su Duofu said that he could prepare more goods next year.
Ye Fan nodded: "Then smash his hand?"
Su Duofu suddenly felt difficulty breathing.
Ye Fan: "Although I have said it before, it seems I have to say it again now. We can make money not because our products are good, but because no one dares to do it. Do you know what will happen next year? Secondly, this is not our own business. Don’t look at us as members now, as if we are relatives. If you can’t sell, you will be stabbed in the back.”
Su Yuncheng couldn't help but said: "It won't happen. Everyone is mentally prepared."
Ye Fan stood up: "Why don't you give it a try? Just tell me that the capital will not sell goods in the next two months. If he doesn't worry about you, I will take your surname!" He picked up his bag and said, "Tomorrow is the holiday. Let's go home. I will too. It’s time to buy groceries and cook.”
Su Yuncheng looked at Ye Fan's back and asked Su Duofu: "What do you think?"
Su Duofu sighed: "After a few good days, I forgot about the fierce look when they asked me to hand over the fishing boat."
Su Yuncheng couldn't help but remember that when the food factory was first established, Ye Fan wanted to use Su Duofu. The team leader was the first to object. Many members in the team also complained. No one dared to openly object because they were afraid that Ye Fan would give up his choice.
I am very polite to Su Duofu this year because I have money.
Su Yuncheng couldn't help but say: "They are too realistic."
Su Yuanhang: "We are all ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot do anything without money. It is normal to have no money and no good looks. Let's go, it's getting dark, and we should go back."
Ye Fan arrived home with a bag of crabs and a yellow croaker left for her at the vegetable market, while Geng Zhiye was washing vegetables in the yard. Ye Fan knelt down next to him: "Didn't you agree to wait until I come back to do it?"
Geng Zhiye glanced up at her and then lowered his head to pick vegetables.
Ye Fan was surprised: "There are insects in this vegetable?"
Geng Zhiye stopped breathing. Did her eyes fall on the vegetable market?
"No."
The tone was particularly harsh, and Ye Fan was curious: "Who made you angry?"
"Accountant Ye, do you know what time it is?"
Ye Fan knew: "Isn't tomorrow the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
The original plan was to distribute the money on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, Su Duofu and Su Yuncheng did not stay overnight in the capital this time and came back that night. The bus was very slow and the two of them stayed on the bus for two nights. Today I will arrive in Yongcheng at noon and on the island at two or three in the afternoon. Ye Fan will go to the food factory to settle the accounts and divide the money.
Ye Fan tilted his head and looked at him: "No one really messed with you? Your tone is wrong."
"How dare you. I'm just a husband of a family, and I still expect Accountant Ye to make money to support me."
Ye Fan was speechless: "Are you really angry?"
Geng Zhiye threw the vegetables into the basin: "Ye Fan, how many days have you been at home since I took leave? On the last day today, you didn't come back until the sun had set, and you said my tone was wrong. Aren't you angry if it's you?"
Ye Fan is not angry. When she gave birth to her second child, her due date was brought forward a few days, and Geng Zhiye was delayed for a few days because of something else. When he came back, Ye Fan didn't look pregnant anymore. Yu Wentao and Geng Zhiqin were worried that she would be unhappy, so they helped Geng Zhiye put in a good word. Ye Fan said many times that he was not angry, but neither of them believed it.
Tao Chunlan asked Ye Fan to tell the truth, and Ye Fan said she could understand. Li Mingyue said Ye Fan was too calm.
Ye Fan also didn't understand that it was beyond her and Geng Zhiye's control when the baby would be born. Geng Zhiye was a soldier, and the army was not a department store. Isn't it normal for him to come and go as he wanted, and not be able to come back for a while?
What was she so angry about?
Ye Fan: "If I say——"
"Wash the vegetables!" Geng Zhiye stood up,
Ye Fan subconsciously asked: "Why go?"
Geng Zhiye: "Hang yourself with a noodle."
Ye Fan wanted to laugh again and followed helplessly: "I don't have to go to the food factory for the next half month."
Geng Zhiye turned around and sighed: "Tomorrow, August 15th, I will go to the army! I will be on duty for the next week!"
Ye Fan held his hand, and Geng Zhiye shook it off and went into the house. Ye Fan hurriedly followed him. It was so pretentious for a big man to keep going day by day.
Little did they know that this scene happened to fall in the eyes of a few people carrying water heading north from the west alley.
When Ye Fan saw Geng Zhiye going to the kitchen, he immediately stopped and waited for him to come out.
Geng Zhiye turned around and saw Ye Fan taking a deep breath and walking out. He was surprised to see Ye Fan in the living room. He thought Ye Fan had really gone to wash vegetables: "What are you doing here?"
Ye Fan: "Waiting for you to use scissors and brushes to brush crabs and kill fish."
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but clenched the brush and scissors tightly: "You - what if I don't come out?"
Ye Fan went over and hugged his arm: "I'll go in to find you." Weiwei stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face: "Captain Geng, you've been working hard on housework these days."
Geng Zhiye felt relieved: "It's gone?"
Ye Fanxin said there was anything else. I looked up and saw Geng Zhiye's expectant face, and I wanted to laugh for no reason: "I'll listen to you tonight."
