Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 66 Teasing His Wife

As soon as Ye Yaodong returned home, he quickly took a shower and then went to his room to educate his two children.

"Oldest, you don't know how to swim, right? Do you want to learn?"

"I want to, Dad! Ah Hai can swim, so I want to learn too!"

The other child, Ye Chengyang, was jumping on the bed and shouting, "Me too, me too!"

"Do you want a beating? You better stop jumping on the bed or else I'll teach you a lesson," Ye Yaodong glared at the little guy, then turned to his eldest son and asked, "Did you get scared when you saw that child drowning earlier?"

Ye Chenghu shrank his neck and recalled the scene on the beach just now. He hesitated and said, "Dad, if I learn how to swim, does that mean I won't drown?"

"Unless you fall into the deep sea where nobody can find you, and you're too exhausted with no floating object to support you, under normal circumstances, you won't drown." 

"I'm scared..."

"What are you afraid of? You're a boy. With me teaching you, nothing will happen to you.”

He was also afraid that his children would be mischievous and learn by themselves at the beach. Although in his previous life, both children knew how to swim without anyone teaching them, who knows if things would change this time? After all, today he saved that child. 

With him teaching, he would feel more at ease.

"Yes, let your dad teach you how to swim. You are not allowed to go to the beach and learn by yourself like your older siblings."

Lin Xiuqing nodded vigorously beside them. Just now, on the beach, she was extremely worried, afraid that it would be her own child drowning. People living by the sea should know how to swim.

"Until you learn how to swim, none of you are allowed to go into the waters without an adult present. If I find out, I'll break your legs.”

Ye Chenghu shrank back and weakly replied, "I understand, Dad."

"If there's no fishing trip tomorrow, I'll take you to learn how to swim. Okay, go play now.”

Feeling liberated, Ye Chenghu excitedly jumped off the bed, and Ye Chengyang followed suit, startling Lin Xiuqing. She quickly caught him.

"You silly boy! What's your brother doing? Why are you doing the same? Can you even jump like that? Ye Chenghu, come here. As an older brother, you should set a good example..."

Knowing that his mother was scolding, the fool still went on. Ye Chenghu slipped away without looking back, leaving Ye Chengyang behind, crying and shouting to wait for him.

Lin Xiuqing was furious and gave her younger son a couple of hard spanks before letting him go.

Boys are tough and don't cry or make a fuss. Despite being so young, he quickly ran off.

Only then did she turn to Ye Yaodong and said, "Teach me the moves you did at the beach just now!"

"You want to learn?"

"Just in case. Living by the beach all the time, you never know when it might come in handy."

"Alright then, lie down and I'll demonstrate it for you."

"Um!"

At first, Ye Yaodong was earnestly explaining to her how to perform first aid, where to place the hands for compression, and she was listening attentively. But it didn't take long for things to go astray.

"Where are you placing your hands?"

"Aren't I teaching you?"

"Step aside, is this how you teach? Is this the right position? You're clearly just rubbing..." Lin Xiuqing lowered her voice, afraid of being overheard.

"Don't move! CPR should be performed for at least half an hour. Don't give up until there are no signs of life..."

"Forget it, get out of the way. I need to help Mother cook..." She was practically being crushed underneath him, yet he had the audacity to speak nonsense with a serious face.

"There is Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law!"

"They went to the pier to sell goods..."

"I helped you earn another 40 yuan today. Don't you think you should show some appreciation?"

With both hands pressing against his shoulders, Lin Xiuqing gave him a fierce glare. "Wasn't it me who discovered it?"

"But I also put in effort! I caught the blue crabs, and I caught the sea bass too!"

So annoying!

Ye Yaodong looked at her with a mischievous smile as she widened her eyes. Then he turned his head slightly, bringing his face closer, urging her, "Come on, show some appreciation quickly, and I'll let you go cook. Otherwise, if our two sons come in and see, they'll start making a fuss again!"

His own wife, wouldn't it be fun to tease her a little? Watching her lively and expressive face, he was also quite delighted.

But how could Lin Xiuqing let him have his way?

She pressed her palm directly against his face, forcefully pushing him towards the side of the pillow, then straddled him.

He groaned and held onto her slender waist, not allowing her to escape, and whispered, "So you like it this way, huh?"

Lin Xiuqing's cheeks flushed immediately. She tsked at him, quickly rolled off the bed, casually ran her fingers through her hair a few times, and then rushed out.

Meanwhile, Ye Yaodong leisurely raised his feet, rested his hand behind his head, and hummed a tune. If he hadn't intentionally let go, would she have been able to escape?

His father went to the sheltered harbor to sail, and he wasn't sure if they would go out to sea tonight. He planned to take a nap and rest.

But just as he fell asleep, he was awakened by his wife. "Your friends are here to see you."

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he grumbled, "How could you bear to come and wake me up? Weren't you just hoping to say that I'm not home?"

Lin Xiuqing said angrily, "Then I'll just tell them straight up that you're not home."

If it wasn't for the fact that his friends had been doing some useful work during this time and occasionally went to the homestead to help, she wouldn't have come to call him. She would have definitely told them directly that he wasn't home!

Ye Yaodong pulled her and said, "Don’t, I'm up. Let me see if they have some money-making opportunity for me."

"Forget it, when you guys get together, it's either playing cards or eating and drinking. How can there be any money-making opportunity?"

"Who said there isn't? Didn't I give you nearly 400 yuan the other day? Maybe there's something good again."

"That was luck, you just happened to catch something while fishing."

"Well, it still made some money, didn't it?"

Lin Xiuqing didn't argue with him. After all, it wasn't long until mealtime, and he didn't have any money in his pocket. "Come back early for dinner."

"Um."

He quickly fastened his belt and hurriedly ran out. Behind him, his mother was nagging, "It's already 4 o'clock, and you're still restless, running around when it's almost dinner time..."

At the entrance, Ah Guang and the others were standing or sitting awkwardly, waiting there.

"What's the matter? I was sleeping.”

Ah Guang stroked his chin and circled around him, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

"What are you doing?"

"We heard that you showed great powers this afternoon by saving Secretary Chen's grandson, so we came to pay our respects."

"It's gonna cost you, two cents for a glance!"

"Pfft, thinking you're a celebrity or something!"

Little Xiao laughed and said, "Let's go, it's already 4 o'clock, don't waste any more time."

Yao Dong was pulled along, feeling puzzled. "You still haven't told me where we're going."

"To catch some yellow eel, wanna come?"

"Crazy! It rained heavily during the typhoon a few days ago, and the water levels in the fields and ditches have risen. Fishing with a thread? You can't even see the holes!"

Isn't it a waste of time to go there? It's better to stay at home and sleep. This bunch of idiots!
