"You grown men, hurry up and find them when you are free. Let me give them a good beating and give them a long memory."

Lin Xiuqing quickly drove her chickens and ducks back to the yard and let them return to their cages.

Ye Yaodong hugged Ye Xiaoxi and looked around for a few times, then took the old lady to go home first.

I just sent A Guang and Uncle Pei back first, and picked up his daughter by the way.

Then his parents got off the car first, planning to walk a few steps back, take a shower and then come over for dinner.

However, when he entered the yard, he saw a row of buckets placed on the porch of his house, which were quite conspicuous.

"Huh? What did those kids catch? Such a big hairy crab and two buckets of it! What is this? Is this a river shrimp? There are also such a big bucket of river shrimp!"

The old lady pointed to the corner near the wall and said, "The three buckets inside are snails. How long will it take you to eat so many? The good ones don't have to do it. I have them do this all day long. I'm not just poking their hearts. Each one is more active than the other."

"Earlier, when I came back from school, my whole body was wet and my head was full of water. I asked them to take a shower and change clothes. They responded well, but as soon as I returned to the house, I didn't see anyone again."

Ye Yaodong grabbed a river shrimp by its long beard and gestured with it in the palm of his hand. It was not small. Some of them were quite capable. They caught so many in one catch.

"Aren't you going to the river to catch these again?"

"It's hard to say..." Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but have a headache. There were also two boys from his family inside.

"Put Xiaojiu down, go find them, and get him back quickly. It's getting dark, and he's still soaking in the water. It's cold in the morning and evening, and he'll be in trouble if he catches a cold."

"I'll ride a bike to the surrounding rivers to take a look."

As soon as Ye Xiaoxi was placed on the ground, she immediately put her hand into the bucket, and Lin Xiuqing slapped her hand twice.

"No water play allowed!"

Ye Xiaoxi shrank his hands, raised his head and looked at her with wide eyes, then raised his feet and dragged the baby home, shouting as he ran: "Dad, dad..."

Ye Yaodong had just entered the house and quickly turned around.

He saw her raising her wet hands high to show him, then her mouth was flat and her face was filled with grievances.

"You were beaten, right? You're not allowed to play in the water. If you're naughty, you'll be beaten."

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help shaking her head as she followed her, "You can complain at such a young age, but when you grow up, you can still do it?"

Ye Xiaoxi had no one to coax her, so she held back her tears again, pouted, hummed a few times, grabbed the baby's hair, and dragged her out.

"Drama queen, tears come when they come and disappear when they don't."

"Let me see if there are any dishes that haven't been cooked yet. You go find your two sons. Your daughter is being watched by the old lady."

"Um."

After Ye Xiaoxi dragged the baby out, he continued to squat in front of several buckets and watched eagerly.

Whenever he wanted to reach out, he would glance at the old lady with his little eyes.

The old lady was sitting on an armchair, holding a cattail leaf fan and looking at her cheerfully. When she saw a mosquito trying to bite her, she gently patted it twice with the cattail leaf fan.

She watched the old lady put her hand into the water without noticing, and then took it out immediately...

There was a crash, and the old lady heard it, and she smiled and patted her twice more.

"Go get a branch and poke it. Don't reach out, the crab will bite you."

She nodded happily immediately, didn't want the doll anymore, threw it aside, and immediately ran to the firewood pile in the house to find branches.

The old lady also went to the yard to grab a small handful of straw, twisted the two straws into slender twists in her hands, and then connected them into long strips.

I grabbed a hairy crab from the bucket, took a piece of straw, tied the two large pliers together, and then tied the crab slightly with a slender twist.

After Ye Xiaoxi brought out a branch, she tied the ready-made twist rope to the branch and hung it up for her to play with.

Her eyes were bright with excitement, and she shouted, "Crab... crab..."

The branch she was holding in her hand kept swaying, and the crab hanging on the rope also swayed with her, sometimes on the ground, sometimes hanging in the air.

After playing happily for a while, she ran into the house carrying the crab to find her mother as a treasure.

"Mother... mother... madam... crab..."

The old lady watched her run into the house and continued to catch hairy crabs. She planned to tie up the big feet of all the hairy crabs to prevent the naughty children from being bitten by their big feet.

When she came out, the old lady gave her a long rope, and a crab was tied to the other end and crawled on the ground. She was so happy that she couldn't help grinning and drooling.

"Crab~"

She was holding one in her left hand and one in her right hand, running around the yard as happily as a butterfly.

But she was so young that she couldn't even walk steadily. She fell down just after running for a while.

However, she didn't ask for help. She got up and clapped her hands. Her mouth was flat in pain, and tears hung at the end of her eyes, but she wiped them away with the back of her hands. She pouted, breathed twice on her palms, and picked them up again.

Her two crabs.

The old lady saw that she had fallen, so she quickly went over to take a look, and was relieved that there was no broken skin, but her palms and knees were a little red, so she quickly went into the house and gave her some tea oil to rub it on.

Seeing that she looked a little languid and unhappy, the old lady tied a shrimp to her, tied it to the branch she was holding, and hung it with the crab.

Ye Xiaoxi was happy again.

"Shrimps... big prawns... so many~"

Lin Xiuqing stood by the stove and looked at the door. Seeing that she was crying and laughing, she left her alone. Children grow up quickly.

The old lady's rice has been cooked a long time ago. The steamed minced meat, steamed eggs, and steamed fish are all steamed together with the rice at the same time. She only needs to fry two vegetables and make a soup.

When a group of children came back, her food was ready, and at the same time, there were bursts of curses and cries of crying for father and mother at the door next door.

"Third uncle asked me to go into the water and touch snails..."

"It's Uncle San..."

"Third uncle called us this morning to touch snails for him..."

"Ah, don't fight, don't fight... We just listen to our third uncle..."

Ye Yaodong touched his nose, feeling embarrassed, and quickly carried his two wet sons home, pretending that he didn't know what to do.

But the commotion next door couldn't stop. The two families were so close to each other that the slightest noise could be heard in their ears, not to mention that they were yelling at each other at this time.

"Your third uncle asked you to eat shit, do you want to eat it?"

"I will do whatever my third uncle tells me to do."

"Then you go eat shit for me."

"He didn't tell me to eat shit."

Sister-in-law Ye's lungs were about to explode with anger, "Everyone is a debt collector. What's the use of giving birth? It will only make me angry...I'll beat you two to death..."

"Mom, I'm going to weed the pigs. We'll feed the pigs in the afternoon and evening... It's none of our business..." Ye Jingjing also jumped up and down at the door.

"Isn't it none of your business? You don't even know how to lock the door when you go out. It's like your house has been robbed. You don't hold the broom up if it falls over. There are chicken and duck feces all over the floor..."

"I thought I wouldn't hit you because I was holding a handful of pigweed in my hand and pretending to be pretentious? Look at the difference between you two. Is there any dry spot on your body? You have the nerve to say it's none of your business... none of you are good..."

Not to be outdone, Sister-in-law Ye scolded: "My skin is all itchy. What did I tell you before I left? I told you to take good care of your home. Is this how you look at it? Look at your feet, which are all wrinkled. Did you not go to school today?"

?”

"No, no, no, no, we went to school, we went to school..."

"Really? I think you just didn't go..."

"have……"

The old lady's voice also sounded at the door, "Don't fight. Don't fight yet. Let them take a bath and change clothes first. They are all wet. They will catch a cold later."

"You deserve it. Is there any dry place on your body? You still touch the snails. Can touching the snails make you feel like this?"

"Yes, we were catching crabs. I accidentally slipped on my feet and fell into the water. Ajiang was very mean and poured water on me, so we fought in the water... No... we just caught hairy crabs and touched them.

Snail..."

Sister-in-law Ye whipped Ye Chenghai's calf, and a red mark appeared directly.

"You got into a fight in the water, right? You really need to clean up..."

"Obviously he did it to me first..."

"Everything belongs to others. If you don't go into the water, can others do anything to you?"

"Third uncle asked me to catch snails for him."

"Your third uncle didn't ask you to grab several buckets for him. He was just playing for fun and deserved to be beaten." After the old lady finished speaking, she walked back to her yard and ignored them. She deserved to be beaten.

When Father Ye and Mother Ye came over, they originally wanted to stop them. After knowing the cause and effect, they said they deserved it and ignored them.

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang were not beaten, but they shrank down like quails and remained silent as soon as they came back, trying to minimize their presence.

Lin Xiuqing didn't even punish them, they already took the initiative to stand against the wall.

She glanced at them sideways and said, "Go and take a shower, then go and stand."

The two quickly took off their clothes, and the two naked little yellow chickens hurriedly ran to the back door to take a shower. After washing, they went to stand naked in the corner, being extremely proactive and honest, just to avoid being beaten.

Ye Xiaoxi looked very curious, holding two crabs in his hands, walking back and forth in front of his two brothers.
