"Then let's take advantage of the high tide now. Brother, let the boat go to the beach first, wait until it runs aground in the afternoon, and then use wooden sticks to roll it ashore."

Ye Yaopeng also agreed and went to the dock.

Ye Yaodong was thinking about replenishing ammunition, so he hurried to the village committee again. When Ye's father saw that nothing happened, he ran up the mountain again.

But when he went to the village committee, he heard a piece of news. Because their town is on the edge of the coastline, a lighthouse was said to be built on the island outside the town. He heard that the navy would be dispatched soon.

Come and support.

This was a good thing, indicating that it was developing, but it was none of his business. He just listened for a while, and then explained his purpose, then swept another 300 rounds of bullets from the inventory and left.

It was almost the end of May. Ye Yaodong looked at the peach blossoms on the top of the mountain. At this time, the peach blossoms had withered. Only the azalea was still standing there, fiery red, but it would not be long before it began to wither.

He shook his cloth bag and hummed a tune while walking on the country road, when he heard a rapid shouting in his ears.

"Slow down, slow down..."

"Slow down...wait for me..."

Turning around, he saw that it was his son walking downhill with three lambs tied to his hand, and a handful of azalea in his other hand.

Ye Chengyang was dragged by the sheep while running and sliding downhill with his buttocks. Finally, the lamb stopped to graze when he saw the green grass on the roadside. He also put the flowers on the roadside and wiped his sweat vigorously.

As a result, my head and face were covered with gray.

He hurriedly walked over and helped him untie the rope tied to his wrist. The lambs dragged him around, and his dark wrists had a full circle of marks, which were all red.

"Dad? Why are you here?" Ye Chengyang looked at his father happily.

"I just happened to be passing by on errands. Are you ready to go home after grazing the sheep?"

"Yes, I'm so hungry. I have to go home for dinner. There's nothing to eat on the mountain, and I can't catch pheasants."

"Did you see the pheasant?"

"I saw it, Dad. Let me tell you that the pheasants are very beautiful. They are colorful and beautiful, but they can fly. They fly up from this slope to that slope. I tied the lamb to the roadside and couldn't catch it even if I tried to catch it."

arrive."

"Wait until I catch one for you tonight."

He immediately became excited, "Really? Can we use chicken feathers to make fans?"

"I don't know how. Don't call me this kind of thing. Call you grandpa. Let's go. It's time for dinner."

Ye Yaodong held three ropes tightly in his hand and rubbed the child's straw-like hair. There were many weeds on it. He didn't know how long he had been burrowing in the grass just now. It was too wild.

"Wait for my dad, my flower..."

He turned around and saw that Ye Chengyang was holding the flowers on the ground in his arms like treasures. He also picked up the fallen flowers and continued to insert them on the branches.

"It's quite beautiful. Give it to me and let me go back and give it to your mother."

Ye Chengyang tilted his body and turned away, "No, I can't give it to you. Brother Chenghe wants this."

"Why give it to him? It's a waste. It's better to give it to your mother. Your mother will be happy and your life will be easier."

"I picked it again in the afternoon and gave it to my mother. Brother Chenghe asked me to pick this one. It cost a penny." After saying that, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "I didn't say anything."

Ye Yaodong was surprised and couldn't help but laugh, "He gave you a penny to pick a bouquet of flowers for him and then take it to school to give to his little girlfriend?"

"I don't know who he wanted to give it to, but he asked me to pick a handful of beautiful flowers for him, and he would give me a penny. Dad, don't tell anyone else."

"Good boy, now that you are rich, you are shaking."

"Hey, I've been picking them for several days and made a lot of money."

"Okay, it's easy to make money, then you can sell it to him secretly, don't let your aunt know, otherwise he will be beaten and you won't make any money."

"I know, Brother Chenghe also asked me not to say it."

"Awesome, he's quite attentive, and he even knew how to book his wife early."

He was amused as he thought about it, the silly boy realized it quite early.

"Dad, do you also want to give it to mother?"

"sure."

"It's a penny. I'll go to the mountains to graze sheep in the afternoon and I'll pick a handful for you."

Ye Yaodong turned to glare at him, "You also want to earn my money?"

"It's all a penny. He already gave me a penny. Of course you have to give me money too."

"Shouldn't you pick one and give it to your mother?"

"But this is what you said you were going to give. It's just one cent. Dad, Mom is happy, aren't you happy?"

He knocked his son on the head and said, "Can you earn money from me? Okay, I'll earn it for you."

"Dad, let me help you pick it for 10 days. In 10 days, you will get a dime. You can just give me a dime when you go back."

"Who taught you how to do calculations like this?"

"Because I have been picking for Brother Chenghe for 10 days. I counted and there were 10 one-cent coins. I asked my mother how much 10 one-cent coins were. She said ten cents."

Ye Chengyang jumped up and down happily.

Ye Yaodong was amazed. He had already made a dime. He saw that he had more money and could earn more, so he was ready to make another dime at once.

"Okay, since you can make so much money, I'll let you earn a little."

"Hahaha, then I have a lot of money in my piggy bank~" he shouted happily while running, "it must be more than my brother~"

It was lunch time, smoke was rising in the village, students were returning from school one after another, and there were children running and jumping on the road.

As soon as Ye Chengyang got home, he put the flowers on the window of Aunt Ye's house. There were flowers all over the mountain, but they were taller and adults were not used to them, so no one touched them there.

Ye Yaodong took the lamb to the back door and tied it up. When he came out, he saw that Ye Chengyang had moved a small bench and was sitting at the door of his courtyard waiting for them to come back from school.

"You still have to collect money right away? Why don't you go home and wash your hands and face first?"

"If my aunt finds out, I won't have any money to take. I have to watch."

He flicked the child's forehead and ignored him. He went into the room to put away the ammunition, and then washed his hands.

Lin Xiuqing was cooking at the stove. She turned around and asked, "What took you so long?"

"The village committee was talking about something, so I sat and listened for a while. Where is my daughter, and where is Xiaoyu?"

"I don't know where I went to play. Go look for me at the next door. I guess I went to someone's house to play. If you go, I'll call you back for dinner."

"oh."

Anyway, he was idle, so he went out to search again. Ye Chengyang was still sitting at the door of the courtyard, writing and drawing on the ground with a branch.

"Xiaojiu Xiaoyu~"

"Xiaojiu Xiaoyu~ Go home for dinner~"

He shouted as he walked, and the two little boys emerged from the grass on the side. There were two little boys beside him, who were also squatting there together and didn't know what they were doing.

"Dad~ It's time to eat, my sister is~"

The four little ones also ran up to him, and they all walked home together.

"Why are you hiding in the grass?"

"Pick up black beans."

Ye Yaodong: "??"

"What black beans?"

Ye Xiaoxi pinched a round black bean-like one, shook it in front of him, and then put it back in the pocket in front of her, "Cook some vegetables for mother."

"ah?"

The boy next to him also took one out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.

"ah?"

He was a little unsure of what the black beans they picked up were.

Ye Xiaoxi saw his father looking at the boy next to him in surprise, with a look of pain on his face, and then waved to his father, telling him to squat down.

Ye Yaodong squatted down in confusion, and then looked curiously at the "black beans" in their pockets.

Ye Xiaoxi frowned, took out one from his pocket distressedly, and was about to stuff it into his mouth, "I can only eat one."

At this time, Pei Yu also took one out of his pocket obediently, "Uncle, ah~"

He looked at the black beans in their hands in confusion, tilted his head back, and watched the boy next to him grab two more and stuff them into his mouth, feeling a little unsure again.

"Dad, ah, you can't eat too much, you have to cook~"

Seeing that his father didn't open his mouth for a long time, Ye Xiaoxi quickly stepped forward to stuff the black beans in his hand into his mouth.

Pei Yu followed suit and took two steps forward.

Each of his two small hands held a black bean, which was almost brought to his mouth. He grabbed one in each hand, then squeezed it under his eyelids and took a look.

"Where did you get this?"
