Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

   After lunch, Ye Yaodong hurriedly carried the two children back to the house, and told them not to tell others that he loves...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 to drink milk, won't they make fun of them? What if others laugh at me?"

   "It seems to be! It's like wetting the bed to make a joke for others."

"right!"

   "Then let's not talk about it."

  Ye Chengyang also covered his mouth cutely, indicating that he would not say anything.

"now it's right."

   "Father, when will you buy malted milk for us?"

   "Wait until four or five o'clock in the afternoon when the sun is not so bright."

   No matter what, I have to round up this 'milk'...

"Okay~ I'm going to tell them that we will soon have malted milk." Ye Chenghu's face was glowing with excitement, and he said while running, "Brother Ahai...Brother Ajiang...my father said Want... malted milk..."

   "Brother, wait for me~"

  Ye Yaodong heard his excited voice going away, and shook his head, this guy, when will he change his habit of showing off?

  Lin Xiu washed the bowls and pushed the door in, "Want to buy malted milk for them?"

   "Well, block their mouths, otherwise, they will yell around, are you embarrassed, I am embarrassed."

   "Who is thick-skinned? You are thick-skinned, and you are the most shameless..."

   "Cut~ You don't want the same..."

  Lin Xiuqing turned her head away in embarrassment. If she stayed in the same room with him, she didn't know what else he could say.

   "Hey~ don't go... I haven't said a few words yet, come in and talk..."

  Ye Yaodong originally wanted to follow out, but when he heard the sound of babbling on the bed, he realized that the little one had already woken up, and he was gnawing his fist with relish, neither crying nor making noise, just lying down and playing by himself.

   "My dear, or you..."

  It was noon and the sun was shining brightly, so they didn't go out. They didn't know the time for a lunch, and word spread in the village.

   It was rumored that what Ye's father said to Ye Yaodong in the morning was true, and even the people from the newspaper office came to the door to give money and wanted to take the initiative to publish him in the newspaper.

  It is an honor to be published in the newspaper these days, and all the villagers are extremely surprised.

   When the sun was not so bright in the afternoon, when he passed the small shop in the village on his bicycle, he was stopped and questioned, asking him whether the news about going to the newspaper was true or not...

  Ye Yaodong said speechlessly: "I don't know, they just came to ask, I don't know if it's published in the newspaper? But give me money, it's true, just wait and see!"

   After finishing speaking, he rode his bicycle to the town again, and he didn't listen to the various discussions behind him.

  Anyway, he knows that the villagers are more and more able to praise him now, and they all praise him in a different way.

   Said that he bought a boat, a bicycle, and a radio for the old lady in a short period of time. The conditions at home are getting better and better. He has heard it many times...

   Now the reputation is getting better and better...

  In this era, malted milk appeared under the banner of "supplementing protein".

  Although it has been reopened now, the malted milk extract shelf is still a precious item, and it is like a luxury in the homes of ordinary people.

  A can of malted milk costs 3 yuan and 50 cents. The average family is usually reluctant to drink it, and it is carefully hidden. When you need to visit relatives and friends at home to visit the elderly or children, you will give it as an expensive gift.

Even if there is a bottle of malted milk extract at home, when drinking it is still very little. Sprinkle a few grains of malted milk extract in the cup, rinse it with plain water, and then stir it with chopsticks. Although the taste is not strong, it can be drunk. Very happy.

  A malted milk extract, an orange juice, and biscuits in an iron bucket, these are all good gifts, but they give more noodles, tea cakes than biscuits locally.

Ye Yaodong knows that for future generations, malted milk essence is a product born and abandoned by the times, and its nutrition is actually not sufficient. However, for people who are short of food and clothing, this is a very good nutrition product .

  One can of 800 grams. There are two children in the family who must not eat it, so he bought two cans directly.

  Before leaving, Lin Xiuqing also paid the child another five yuan in heartache in order to stop the child from talking.

  With money on hand, he is still very willing to pay for these things, not to mention that he bought them for his two children. Although he usually dislikes them, his own baby hurts him, not to mention that they are growing up now.

After buying two cans of malted milk, he still had three dollars left in his pocket. Looking at the canned oranges on the shelf, he wanted to buy them too, but he felt that it was not worth it. The three dollars now are not the three dollars in the future. Buying cans is such a waste.

  He began to scan the shelves again, only to see Hongfa Instant Noodles, the oldest brand in Fujian Province, with yellow characters on a red background, and a rooster in sportswear and holding a torch printed on the lower left corner, looking very energetic.

  I only found out after asking, it costs 20 cents and 8 cents a pack.

  Thinking about it, the children in my family seem to have never eaten instant noodles. Although it is junk food, childhood without instant noodles is definitely incomplete. It is okay to buy a few packets for them to try.

   Locally it is called instant noodles, because it is soaked in hot boiling water, and it will loosen and cook after a while.

   This brand is not easy to buy decades later, and it is covered by major brands on the market, but the price is really affordable, only one yuan per pack, which is not much higher than the current twenty-eight cents.

  Ye Yaodong simply bought ten packs, with 20 cents left over. Seeing that there was still 10 cents in his pocket, he added it and bought another pack. Finally, there was 2 cents left, so he stuffed it back into his pocket when he couldn’t buy it.

  The children in the family have long been squatting at the door, looking forward to it, reluctant to go anywhere, for fear that they will not be able to see his father come back from buying malted milk immediately after leaving.

   The children next door were drooling with envy, but they didn't dare to ask their parents for it, so they could only lean towards Ye Chenghu and listen to him bragging, even if they can't eat, it's good to listen to it!

  As soon as Ye Yaodong came home, he saw a row of children squatting at the gate of the courtyard, from high to low, from big to small, all squatting there with their chins propped up.

  As soon as they saw him coming back by bicycle, their eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and their shouts of dad and third uncle sounded better 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 excitedly, and Ye Yaodong's face turned dark instantly.

   "Stop all of them!"

  He yelled at them in a harsh tone he had never had before.

   "Who allowed you to take it?"

The way he lowered his face was quite bluffing, the smiles on the faces of all the children froze, and they turned their heads to look at him inexplicably, and shrank their necks weakly. Weak shout.

   "Third Uncle..."

   "Dad..."

   "Little uncle..."

  Ye Yaodong kept a serious face, "Who told you to be so unruly? Disrespectful? Did I tell you to take it away?"

  Although he didn't think malted milk was so rare and valuable, the truth was that it was quite a luxury nowadays, and the children took it away without even saying hello, which made him a little unhappy.

   It's too unruly.

  Usually playing around with the children is a joke, and joking is a joke, but you can’t be so unruly, it’s not just a few candies, they just share it casually.

  The children also seemed to feel that they should just hug and leave, which was a bit inappropriate, and they all lowered their heads.

   "Give it back to me!"

   This time, one by one rushed to send it back, like a hot potato.

   "Did I say that you can share it among yourself? Is it because you are so used to you that you are so unruly? You rushed up to take it and ran away?"

  Ye Yaodong said as he got out of the car and put the brakes on, and continued to reprimand, "If someone comes to the door with something, you also rush up to grab the things and run away like this. Are you going to divide it among yourself?"

   Everyone has never seen him so serious before, no one dared to say anything, and everyone who was being trained looked at their toes.

   "Are there any more rules? Whose children are like this?"

  Ye Chenghu took a peek at his father and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say you bought it for us to drink?"

   "Then I told you that you can take it?"

   "We just help take it in..."

  Lin Guangyuan couldn't help but make a sound. He only joined in the fun after watching them scrambling to get it. He felt a little wronged.

   "Where do you get it?"

   Several nephews and nieces blushed in embarrassment for a moment, they forgot to take it for a while and walked towards their own door...

   "Did I ask you to take it?"

  Ye Chenghai said weakly: "I'm sorry third uncle, we were just too excited to see instant noodles and forgot for a while."

   "Don't rely on me to love you, just be so unruly..."

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua happened to come back from the sea. Before they reached the door, they saw a few children surrounding Dongzi, and then rushed away with their things. They thought Dongzi bought them something to eat, so they were so happy .

   As a result, when I got closer, it turned out that it was a few children looting without rules.

  Ye Yaopeng immediately scolded with a stern face, "Did you say it was for you? It's so unruly. I bought you something once or twice because it hurts you, and it shouldn't be deserved."

  Ye Yaohua also said: "Whose child is like this? Go back and stand for me, don't eat dinner."

  The children almost cried after being taught them a lesson, and they all went home honestly to stand in the corner.

  Ye Yaodong also looks soft-hearted, but children should not lose their rules just because they are young, they must be taught when it is time to teach, and they cannot take everything given for granted.

  Ye Yaopeng waited for the children to leave before saying to Ye Yaodong: "Dongzi, don't spoil them like this, children are easy to be spoiled."

  Ye Yaohua also echoed, "Yes, don't be so loose, 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 mischievous, and there is nothing wrong with them. It doesn't matter to our own people. I am afraid that they will develop a habit and do the same to outsiders. It will be a joke."

  Ye Yaodong smiled at them, and immediately changed the subject after speaking, "How was the harvest today?"

   "It's okay, but it feels like the wind is blowing up in the afternoon, and the waves are particularly big, but the last catch is quite a lot."

  Everyone chatted for a while, and then went home, Ye Yaodong also led the three of his own into the house.

  Lin Xiuqing was cooking, looking at the three Yan Baji who followed him, she was a little puzzled.

  A Dong bought malted milk for them, shouldn't they be happy?

  Why does the frost look like an eggplant?

  Looking at what he was holding in his hand, it was also full...huh?

   "Hey~ What else did you buy?"

  Ye Yaodong put the malted milk essence in his hand on the table, and then let go of the Hongfa instant noodles that were clamped under both armpits, letting them scatter on the table.

   "Instant noodles, I just saw it, and I had money left, so I bought a few packs and brought them back."

   "You just can't put any money in your hand, and you want to spend it as soon as you have some money. Did you spend all ten dollars?"

  Ye Yaodong touched his nose, and embarrassedly took out two coins from his pocket, "There are two left."

   "You don't have two left, you have two points left!"

  Lin Guangyuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

  Ye Yaodong turned his head and glared at him, dare to see his joke! Don't eat instant noodles later!

   "Isn't this thinking that several children have never eaten it? Buy a few packs and give them a taste."

  Lin Xiu gave him an innocent look, and bought everything, she didn't say anything, but just stuffed the instant noodles into the cabinet.

   "The rice is cooked, it's time to eat, put it away, and cook it tomorrow. I bought instant noodles here, so why do they still look like this?"

  Ye Yaodong talked about how he was robbed by them as soon as he arrived at the door.

  Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but said, "Usually you are too kind to them."

   "Hey, don't you think they are all your nephews?"

   "Let's eat first, it's better for children to behave themselves."

"Um."

   Mathematics is not very good... Thanks for pointing out, I modified it
