Chapter 625 If I Don’t Tell Anyone, How Will Others Know that I Eat Shark Fins?

Lin Xiuqing was speechless when she heard these words as soon as she stepped into the house. How could she not know what her eldest son was planning?

Every good thing should be taken outside and eaten for others to see! This love of showing off is something that is inherited very well. When can it be corrected?

Is it less satisfying to look at other people’s envious looks?

"You're not allowed to take it out, just eat it in the house. Put the bowl down for me. If you knock the bowl away, you'll have to beat me up on New Year's Day." As soon as Ye Chenghu picked up the rice bowl from the table, he Hearing his mother's voice, his hands trembled. He lost his hold on the bowl and shook it when it fell on the table, which almost scared him to death.

"Hey, you... it's okay, it's okay... it's not down..." Ye Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Lin Xiuqing flatteringly.

"Haha, Mom, I'm just saying, thinking that Brother Ahai and the others must have never seen what shark fins look like, and they definitely don't know that shark fins look exactly the same as sweet potato vermicelli, so I thought of taking it out to them to take a look. .”

"Otherwise, if I tell them that shark fins look exactly the same as sweet potato noodles, they will definitely not believe it and will definitely say that I am a liar." Ye Chengyang stirred the kuaizi in the bowl and looked at his brother innocently.

"But I think it's sweet potato vermicelli."

"You know nothing!" Ye Chenghu said rudely. The big one got angry at the little one, and the little one got angry at the smaller one. It pitied Ye Chengyang, the bottom of the food chain.

"Eat quickly, you are so verbose that I can't even stop your mouth." Ye Yaodong finished lighting the incense and burning the heavenly gold ingots before washing his hands. When he came in, he heard Ye Chenghu's long speech, which was rare. He can talk so much in a coherent and clear manner, but it sounds a bit convoluted and he talks a bit too much!

After Ye Chenghu glanced at the door with some regret, he picked up the kuaizi and pinched it slowly.

"Dad, this is really the shark fin you made. Why does it look like sweet potato vermicelli?"

"How do I know? How can I tell it not to look like this? It's not very similar. This one is shorter and a bit crispy. The sweet potato vermicelli is longer and softer. Eat it quickly and stop talking nonsense. It will cool down later. It’s not delicious, there’s only so much of it in total, I can’t bear to eat it, and you’re still there making a fuss.”

"It's not very delicious...it's almost the same as sweet potato vermicelli..." Ye Chenghu picked up a piece of rice noodles, tasted it, and murmured in his mouth.

Lin Xiuqing glanced at him and pursed her lips. She didn't bother to talk to him anymore. She didn't know when she had become a talkative person. She picked up Ye Xiaoxi and planned to feed her egg custard.

Shark's fin itself really doesn't have much flavor. If it does have any flavor, it must be a bland fishy smell. Anyway, it's just like stir-fried noodles.

Ye Yaodong also walked towards his seat and sat down. A bowl of seafood boiled rice cakes was already placed in front of him on the table. Kuaizi had already taken it. The bowl was still steaming with steam, and two prawns and clams were exposed on it, as well as A few dried vegetables looked very appetizing, and the old lady and Lin Xiuqing also placed a bowl each on their table.

People eat rice cakes on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means they are getting taller every year. This rice cake was also made by Ye Mu specially bought a hundred kilograms of glutinous rice years ago, and sent it to the workshop together with the rice at home to beat it out and distribute it among the three brothers.

While the whole family was eating rice cakes, Ye's father and Ye's mother came over after breakfast and had nothing to do.

"There are still a lot of leftover dishes from yesterday. Let's make porridge for lunch. You all go to the old house to eat and finish the dishes. Otherwise, you will all go to my father-in-law's house for dinner tomorrow. Your father and I can eat the leftover dishes at home. Not finished.”

"Um."

"Also, since you want to ask your father-in-law to check out your store in the city, I'll ask you about it when you go there tomorrow."

"I know, that was the original plan. It saves me from having to make another trip a few days later. I heard that the stalls will be moved to the new market after the new year. It cannot be later than the 15th."

"As long as you know what's going on."

"I'll ask tomorrow. If you are willing to go, you have to prepare a bed and pots and pans for him in advance. If there is another shop that can't be rented out for a while, it can be used as a room for him to sleep in. "

"You can take care of it yourself. You can save some travel expenses by doing it in one trip. By the way, take all the dried fish to the city. They have to be sold there anyway. You won't have room to stay in this house. , your eldest and second brother are almost the same."

"I know." By the way, he settled the money for them. Otherwise, his elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law had been thinking about it. Other families had weighed the money and settled the money, but her family was still piled there.

Although they didn't coo in front of him, occasionally they could still be heard cooing quietly through a wall.

He also thought that if he couldn't fit it in his house, it would all be piled up at their two homes. There was no need to move the scales around, just pile them there. When he had to take them away, he would move them out and weigh them and carry them into the car. , can he still break his promise?

When Ye Chenghu saw that the adult's speech had come to an end, he raised his head and said to Ye's father and mother: "Grandpa, grandma, I ate shark's fin this morning! It looks exactly like sweet potato powder..."

"It's dried, is it ready to eat?"

"I took it in last night when I saw it was almost done. I just cooked a bowl for them for breakfast this morning. Let's see if we can eat smarter? Come back with 100 points on the test."

"Ah?" Ye Chenghu opened his mouth in surprise, then quickly lowered his head and pulled in the little bit left in the bowl. He didn't dare to speak anymore, and took the opportunity to slide off the stool and take a seat.

Which pot is not to be opened and which pot is mentioned, and it actually tells a 100-point story? When I came back with my transcripts years ago, I was almost beaten by his mother, but I managed to hide in the old lady's room.

"If you can get 100 points on the exam by eating shark fins, sharks will be caught and extinct." Ye Mu complained.

"You have to have the ability and the skills to catch them. Do you think sharks are all that small? Maybe it's not certain who will eat who." Ye Yaodong drank all the soup in the bowl before eating it. Put the bowl down quickly.

"I'll go out for a walk."

"Let's just play cards. What's wrong with Lida..." Ye Yaodong glanced at his mother and walked out without caring about her. He never said anything about how he was doing better, but he didn't say anything about others either. good.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone has money in their pockets, so they can go out and play cards and win a few dollars for living expenses.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when I went to my father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, I asked him about visiting the store. My father-in-law agreed immediately, but my mother-in-law had to go with me, otherwise no one would provide him with food and clothing.

This is better! The two of them also have company and someone to talk to, so they won't be bored and lonely. Anyway, the two sons at home have separated early, so they just work together and earn money, which is divided into three parts.

The two elders are old and old. They earn so much money. In the future, they will be given their share of youth. Why not just give all the work to the two elder brothers-in-law and let them do it now? He can go to the city to look at shops and earn another Pension money.

I don’t know if there was a family meeting, but they didn’t seem to be reluctant at all, and the whole family was very happy.

Ye Yaodong was also very happy. This way he no longer had to go to the market every two days to sell dried fish. It was not good to occupy the tractor every day. It also hurt his wallet. There was no one to share the car with him and the traveling expenses were huge.

If my father-in-law is willing, he only needs ten days and a half to take the time to go there, deliver goods or take a look.

All the goods for the new year in the army have been delivered, and we haven’t talked about whether we still need them after the new year. We can’t let the soldiers eat dried fish every day.

He thought that if it happened again in the future, it would probably not be so frequent. After spring, there would be more ships going out to sea.

You can't completely count on the orders from the army. Wherever the store is opened, you can sell a little bit.

It was Lin Xiuqing who was a little worried about her parents. She felt that the two elders were getting older and they were going to a strange place again. She was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to it or could not stay there, so she kept talking about it on the way back.

Ye Yaodong comforted her helplessly,

"Didn't I tell you everything? Let's buy them a radio these days so they can pass the time in the store. Don't the old people love listening to stories and plays? They won't be bored."

"And don't they love farming? There is some open space on the roadside nearby. When the time comes, let him bring a hoe and open it up, so that he can grow some vegetables for his own consumption."

"Everything I tell you is very simple."

"It's a very simple matter in the first place. You just worry and think a lot. How can I trick your parents? If it's not suitable, just take it back if you can't stay. What's the point of losing? Oh, You may lose a radio, so just treat your parents as filial piety, as it should be." Lin Xiuqing smiled,

"Only you can speak and plan." Think about it and no longer struggle. Anyway, they have made a decision and agreed to go to the city after the fifteenth.

Ye Chenghu raised his head and asked, "Dad, when will you take us to the city?"

"Why are we taking you there? To sell or sell?"

"No, didn't you say before that you would take us there if you had the chance."

"You also said that there is a chance, just wait. Most children have never even been to the town, but you are so ambitious that you want to go to the city. It's quite conceivable to be successful."

"It's necessary!" Ye Chenghu still raised his head proudly.

"Are you planning to show off to school after school starts?" Lin Xiuqing saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

"How do you know?" Ye Chenghu blurted out.

"I gave birth to you!" Yesterday, the bowl of shark fin was not successfully brought to the door, but it did not stop him from showing off at all. As soon as he finished eating, he ran to the next door and told him that he had eaten shark fin this morning. , and also described the smell and how expensive the things were to the brothers and sisters, making everyone drool and envy them.

She heard it even as she stood in the doorway through a wall. Ye Chenghe said without thinking at the time,

"I wish I had been born by my third uncle..." As a result, he was scolded by his mother on the first day of the new year.
