Chapter 430 Reprimand

After finishing lunch, Ye Yaodong hurriedly carried the two children back to the house and told them not to tell others that he liked to drink milk.
"Why?" both children asked in unison.
He said angrily: "I'm embarrassed and sorry. You see, dad is such a big man. If people know that I like drinking milk, won't it make others laugh? What if others laugh at me?"
"It seems so! It's like wetting the bed to make others laugh."
"right!"
"Then we won't talk about it."
Ye Chengyang also covered his mouth cutely, indicating that he wouldn't say anything anymore.
"That's right."
"Dad, when will you buy malted milk for us?"
"Wait until four or five o'clock in the afternoon when the sun is not so strong."
No matter what, I have to get rid of this 'breast'...
"Okay! I'm going to tell them that we will have malted milk soon." Ye Chenghu's face was glowing with excitement and he said as he ran, "Brother Ahai...Brother Ajiang...my dad said
I want... malted milk..."
"Brother, wait for me~"
Listening to his excited voice, Ye Yaodong walked away and shook his head. When will this guy change his habit of showing off?
After cleaning the bowl, Lin Xiu pushed the door open and came in, "Want to buy malted milk for them to drink?"
"Well, shut their mouths, otherwise, they will yell everywhere. If you are shameless, I will be embarrassed."
"Who is thick-skinned? Only you are thick-skinned. The most shameless one is you..."
"Tch~ you don't want the same thing..."
Lin Xiuqing turned away in shame at him. If she stayed in the same room with him, she didn't know what else he could say.
"Hey~ don't leave... I haven't said a few words yet, come in and talk..."
Ye Yaodong originally wanted to follow him out, but when he heard a squeaking sound coming from the bed, he realized that the little one was already awake, and he was chewing his fist with relish, neither crying nor making a fuss, just lying down and playing by himself.
"My good boy, you should be good..."
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and they didn't go out. Little did they know that after lunch, the news would spread throughout the village.
Everyone was spreading rumors that what Ye's father told Ye Yaodong that morning was true, and even people from the newspaper office came to pay him to publish it in the newspaper.
Being in the newspaper these days is a very honorable thing, and all the villagers were extremely surprised.
When the sun was not so bright in the afternoon, when he was riding his bicycle past a small shop in the village, he was stopped and questioned, asking him whether what he wanted to publish in the newspaper was true or false...
Ye Yaodong said speechlessly: "I don't know, they just came to ask, how do I know if it was published in the newspaper? But give me the money, it's true, just wait and see!"
After saying that, he got on his bicycle and headed to town again. He no longer heard the various discussions behind him.
Anyway, he knew that the villagers were becoming more and more adept at praising him, and they all praised him for his achievements in various ways.
He said that he bought a boat, a bicycle, and a radio for the old lady in a short period of time. He said that the conditions at home were getting better and better, etc. He had heard it many times...
Now the reputation is really getting better and better...
In this era, malted milk appeared under the banner of "supplementing protein".
Although it has been opened now, the malted milk shelf is still a valuable item, a luxury item in the homes of ordinary people.
A can of malted milk costs 3 yuan and 50 cents. Most families are reluctant to drink it. They keep it tightly and give it as valuable gifts when they need to visit the elderly or children at the homes of relatives and friends.
Even if you have a bottle of malted milk at home, you still put very little of it when drinking. Sprinkle a few grains of malted milk into the cup, rinse it with boiled water, and then stir it with chopsticks. Although the taste is not strong, it can be drunk.
Very happy.
A piece of malted milk, an orange juice, and biscuits in an iron barrel. These are all good gifts, but they give more noodles and tea cakes than biscuits locally.
Ye Yaodong knows that for people in the future, malted milk is a product that was born and abandoned by the times. It is actually not nutritious, but for people who lack food and clothing now, this is a good nutritional product.
.
One can is 800 grams. There are two children at home who definitely don’t eat it, so he bought two cans directly.
Before leaving, Lin Xiuqing painfully paid him five yuan in order to shut up the child's mouth.
He had money on hand, so he was still willing to buy these, not to mention buying them for his two children. Although he usually said he disliked them, his own children hurt him, not to mention that they were all growing now.
After buying two cans of malted milk, he still had three yuan in his pocket. Looking at the canned oranges on the shelf, he wanted to buy it, but he felt that it was not cost-effective. The three yuan now is not the three yuan in the future.
Buying canned food is such a waste.
He started to scan the shelves again, and finally saw Hongfa instant noodles, which is the oldest brand in Fujian Province. It has yellow characters on a red background and a rooster wearing sportswear and holding a torch printed in the lower left corner, looking very energetic.
When I asked, I found out that it was 28 cents a pack.
After thinking about it, it seems that none of the children in the family have ever eaten instant noodles. Although it is junk food, childhood is definitely incomplete without instant noodles. It would be good to buy a few packs for them to try.
Locally, they are called instant noodles because they are soaked in hot water and become cooked in a short time.
This brand was still not easy to buy a few decades later. The market was covered by major brands, but the price was really affordable. It only cost one yuan per pack. Compared with the current price of 28 cents, the price has not increased much.
Ye Yaodong simply bought ten packs and had 2 cents left. Seeing that he still had 1 cent of private money in his pocket, he added it and bought another pack. Finally, he had 2 cents left and stuffed it back into his pocket when he couldn't buy it anymore.
The children at home have been squatting at the door and looking forward to it. They are reluctant to go anywhere, for fear that if they leave, they will not be able to see their father when he comes back to buy malted milk.
The children next door were so envious that they were drooling with envy, but they didn't dare to ask for it from their parents, so they could only go to Ye Chenghu and listen to him bragging, even if they couldn't eat, it was good to just listen!
As soon as Ye Yaodong returned home, he saw a row of children squatting at the entrance of the courtyard. From high to low, from big to small, no one was missing. They were all squatting there with their chins propped up.
As soon as they saw him riding back, their eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and their shouts of father and uncle were louder than anything else, and they all rushed in, almost drowning him.
Even the malted milk and instant noodles in the basket in front of the bicycle were taken away by them in excitement. Ye Yaodong's face turned dark instantly.
"Everyone, stop!"
He shouted at them with a harsh tone that he had never heard before.
"Who allowed you to take it?"
The way he lowered his face was quite intimidating, and all the children froze with smiles still on their faces. They turned their heads and looked at him inexplicably, and even shrank their necks, feeling weak.
Shout weakly.
"Third uncle..."
"father……"
"Sister-in-law..."
Ye Yaodong had a straight face and a very serious expression, "Who told you to be so unruly? Impolite? Did I say you can take it away?"
Although he didn't think that malted milk was rare and valuable, the fact was that it was quite a luxury nowadays. Several children took it away without even saying hello, which made him a little unhappy.
It's so unruly.
I usually play around with the children and joke around, but I can't be so unruly. It's not just a few candies, they can share them casually.
Several children seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for them to just hug him and leave, so they all lowered their heads.
"Give it back!"
Now everyone was rushing to send it back, like a hot potato.
"Did I say you can take it and share it among yourself? Are you usually so spoiled that you are so unruly? You rushed up to take it and ran away?"
Ye Yaodong said as he got out of the car, put his feet on the brakes, and continued to scold, "If someone else comes to the door with something, do you also rush up to grab the thing and run away, and divide it among yourself?"
No one had ever seen him so serious before, no one dared to say a word, and everyone who was being scolded looked at their toes.
"Are there any rules anymore? Whose kid is like this?"
Ye Chenghu glanced at his father and whispered, "Didn't you say you bought us something to drink?"
"Then did I say you could take it?"
"We are just helping to get it in..."
Lin Guangyuan couldn't help but make a sound. He only joined in the fun after seeing them rushing to get it. He felt a little unjust.
"Where to take it in?"
Several nephews and nieces instantly blushed with embarrassment. They forgot to take it and walked to the door of their own homes...
"Did I ask you to get it?"
Ye Chenghai said weakly: "I'm sorry, uncle, we were just too excited to see the instant noodles and forgot about it for a moment."
"Don't rely on me to love you, just so unruly..."
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua happened to be back from sea. Before they reached the door, they saw several children surrounding Dongzi, and then they dispersed in a hurry with their things. They thought Dongzi had bought them something to eat, so they were so happy.
.
As a result, when I got closer, I found out that it was a few children who were robbing the house without any rules.
Ye Yaopeng immediately scolded with a straight face, "Did I say it was for you? It's so unruly that I buy you something once or twice, just to hurt you, and it's not something you deserve."
Ye Yaohua also said: "Whose child is like this? Go back and stand, and don't eat dinner."
Several children almost burst into tears after being lectured to them, and they all went home obediently and stood in the corner.
Ye Yaodong looked a little soft-hearted, but children should not take it for granted because they have no rules since they were young. They should be taught when they should be taught.
Ye Yaopeng waited for several children to leave before saying to Ye Yaodong: "Dongzi, don't spoil them like this. Children are easily spoiled."
Ye Yaohua also agreed, "Yes, don't be so loose and buy whatever you want. It's easy to get spoiled. You have to fight when it's time to fight."
"Well, don't be too strict. Our children are not bad, they are just naughty, and that's fine. It doesn't matter if you are with yourself, but I'm afraid that you will form a habit, and if you do it to outsiders, you will make others laugh."
Ye Yaodong smiled at them and immediately changed the subject after speaking, "How was the harvest today?"
“It’s not bad, I just felt that the wind picked up in the afternoon and the waves were very big, but I still got a lot from the last net.”
After everyone chatted for a while, they went home. Ye Yaodong also led his three children into the house.
Lin Xiuqing was cooking, and she was a little confused when she saw the three fussy faces following him.
A Dong bought them malted milk, shouldn't they be happy?
Why does the eggplant look so frost-beaten?
I looked at what he was holding, and it was also full... Huh?
"Hey~ What else did you buy?"
Ye Yaodong put the malted milk in his hand on the table, and then released the Hongfa instant noodles under his armpits, letting them scatter on the table.
"I happened to see instant noodles. I had some money left over, so I bought a few packs and brought them back."
"You just can't put any money in your hands. As soon as you have some money, you want to spend it all. Have you spent all the ten yuan?"
Ye Yaodong touched his nose and sheepishly took out the two coins in his pocket, "There are two left."
"You're not left with two, you're left with two points!"
Lin Guangyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ye Yaodong turned around and glared at him, daring to see his joke! Don't eat instant noodles later!
"Aren't you thinking that a few children have never eaten it? Buy a few packs and give them a taste."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look and bought everything. She didn't say anything anymore and just stuffed the instant noodles into the cabinet.
"The rice is cooked. It's time to eat. Put it away and cook it tomorrow. They bought instant noodles, so why are they still acting like this?"
Ye Yaodong told what happened when he was robbed by them as soon as he arrived at the door.
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but say, "Usually you are too nice to them."
"Hey, aren't you thinking that they are all your nephews?"
"Let's eat first. It's better for children to behave themselves."
"Um."
I'm not very good at math... Thanks for pointing it out, I revised it
Chapter completed!
