Chapter 17: Who doesn’t have a few bad friends?

When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of the door opening. The wooden door creaked as it was pushed open.

Besides his grandma and his mother, the only person who would enter his room was his wife. Ye Yaodong closed his eyes and did not open them. He planned to continue to take a nap. He felt sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, weak in winter, and had a good sleep in summer.

A light sound of footsteps approached, and then climbed onto the bed from his feet. The bunk bed creaked immediately. He opened his eyes and saw that his youngest son was asleep in his wife’s arms.

“Are you asleep?”

“Yes.”

Lin Xiuqing carefully and gently put the child next to him, then slowly pulled her arm out from behind his head, looked at him, and said hesitantly: “You didn’t go out anyway, can you take care of the child? Don’t let him fall off the bed.”

“Yes, okay.”

It’s rare that he is so easy to talk to, and he didn’t say no, Lin Xiuqing was relieved, “If he wakes up, call me, I’ll come and hold him.”

“Don’t you want to sleep together for a while?”

“No, I’m not sleepy.”

Watching her take a green sheet with red peony flowers printed on it for her little son, and then quietly crawl down from the end of the bed, Ye Yaodong didn’t care about her.

If she wants to work to make money, he can’t stop her from doing it.

“Where’s Ye Chenghu?”

I haven’t seen his eldest son since dinner. It’s so sunny, and I don’t know where he went to play.

Lin Xiuqing put down the mosquito net and said, “I don’t know. I don’t know where the seven of them are running around. They will come back naturally after dinner. I’m going out first.”

The door was gently closed, and the son beside him kicked the quilt with his legs. Ye Yaodong covered him again. Less than ten minutes later, he kicked again and covered again!
After a while, he kicked again!
He kicked his feet and leaned to one side!
Ignore him, this kid has never given him a good face when he grows up!

He closed his eyes again with peace of mind, ready to take a nap for a while, but just when he was about to fall asleep, a pig’s foot kicked him in the face, instantly driving away his sleepiness.

Ye Yaodong glared at his son who was still sleeping soundly. Was he not going to let him sleep?
Just when he glared, the kid changed his posture again, turned over, and slept with his butt sticking out!
How could he sleep? What if he farts again in his sleep?
Ye Yaodong lost his sleepiness and sat up, planning to go out to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard his wife talking to someone in a bad attitude, and his two sisters-in-law also talked to him.

“He is sleeping, go find someone else to play with, don’t call him all day long.”

Lin Xiuqing was annoyed by these people calling her husband out all day long, making him stay away from home every day. It was rare that he didn’t go out today, but this group of bad friends actually came to the door, which really made her angry.

“Yes, you all have wives and children, but you don’t even take care of the house or help with the housework. You just play around all day.”

“Why don’t you guys just get along? Why do you still want to marry a wife?”

A male voice said with a chuckle, “I want to, but they can’t cook or have children. They’re useless. If we live together, my parents will beat me to death.”

Is it A Zheng?
“You know you’re useless?” Ye Ersao said bluntly.

“Aha, sister-in-law, don’t say that. When something really happens, we’re also very hardworking and courageous!”

Ye Ersao rolled her eyes. Being courageous or not is not as important as being able to make money. Fortunately, she married the second son.

“You guys go back. A Dong won’t go out today.” Lin Xiuqing said impatiently.

“I’m here, I’m here.” Ye Yaodong spoke up quickly. If he didn’t come out, his wife would chase him away.

How can one live without a few friends to talk to? Although he failed as a son, a husband, and a father, he was still very successful as a friend. This group of friends are also very loyal, but they are all unsuccessful.

Birds of a feather flock together!

Although he intends to be a good person, there is no need to cut off contact with friends.

“Dongzi, why didn’t you come out today? Where did you go this morning? I didn’t see you when I came to your house. I asked your father and was almost kicked out!”

“I went to the beach to pick oysters and snails. Why are there only two of you?”

“What’s so fun about this? I was coaxed to work when I was a kid, but I’m tired of it. Let’s go. A Guang caught a cobra this morning. We’ve already prepared it and are waiting for you to come. We’ll put it in the pot.”

The one who is speaking now is Lin Jianyao. They all call him Xiaoxiao, which often makes him protest. He shamelessly says that he is big and asks him to pee together, but he says that only his wife can see it!
The one who spoke before was A Zheng and Li Xiaozheng. The two came to him together.

Ye Yaodong was a little excited, and the memories of his youth appeared in front of him, “Where did you catch it? How many pounds? We have to kill a chicken and stew a dragon and phoenix soup!”

“Where else can it be? We caught it in the back mountain. We couldn’t find you this morning, so we didn’t go to town. We thought we would go to the hillside to see if the watermelons were ripe. Unexpectedly, we saw a cobra. Look, there’s another big dish tonight!”

“It’s just not big enough. It’s only one pound and three ounces after cutting off the head.”

“It’s big enough, more than one pound, just right to kill a chicken, a pot of dragon and phoenix soup is enough for us!” He was a little greedy as he said that, he hadn’t eaten a cobra for many years.

“Come on, come on, hurry up, if you want to cook dragon and phoenix soup, you have to kill another chicken, I’ll go home and catch one!” Ah Zheng excitedly hooked Ye Yaodong’s shoulder and walked home.

“Aren’t you afraid of your mother beating you!”

“I used my private money to buy eggs last year and asked her to help me with the egg yolk paste. It was agreed that the eggs would belong to me after they hatched. I usually feed them. What’s wrong with catching one?”

“I also dug a basket of clams this morning, and there are several pots of sand clams. I’ll go get some and stir-fry two bowls.”

“Then hurry up!”

The three of them were talking excitedly as if no one was around. When Ye Yaodong came out of the house, they were about to leave with their arms around each other.

Ye Yaodong pulled them and said to Lin Xiuqing, who was looking cold: “Uh… that… Ah Qing, I’m going out with my friends. You don’t have to wait for me to have dinner. I’ll be back early in the evening. Also, the child is still sleeping, remember to check on him!”

As he said this, he felt a little guilty. He had just promised to help look after the child, but now he left when his friend called him. He felt that he had broken his promise.

But they are all his old friends for decades. For example, Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao went to work in other places within two years and have not come back for several years. There are others.

Just after being reborn, he also wanted to take a good look at these friends.

Lin Xiuqing was a little angry. Without even looking at him, she turned her head and went to the house to see how the child was sleeping.

In the morning, he seemed a little more reliable and knew how to shop seriously. As a result, his true colors were revealed as soon as his friends came to the door. She told herself that there was nothing to be angry about. Over the years, she had been worn out by him and had no temper.
