Chapter 65 Second Update Perfect
In this era, the quality control management of homemade cannons was not strict, so there would be duds, and some would be very loud. There were also adults who used homemade cannons to fry fish in the river in the suburbs, which was not necessarily safe.
Therefore, not all children have the courage to set off firecrackers. From time to time, we hear about incidents of people being injured by homemade firecrackers, and many female elders even talk about them with details.
Things like fingers being blown off, an eye being blinded, noses being lost, and even people being blown away.
Their purpose was very clear, to scare their children so that they would not get close to the homemade cannons at will, and to stop these naughty kids who had no idea what fear was from causing trouble.
You know what, it really works.
At least these rumors, whether true or not, cast a deep shadow on Ye Zhongguo's heart, so that although he has grown into a teenager, in previous years it was his younger brother Ye Weiguo who ordered more, and he just squatted behind him, shouting, making noise and laughing.
But Ye Weiguo was not there at the time, and as a man, Khan could not say that he was incompetent.
Ye Zhongguo was very conflicted and hesitant.
But it didn't last long.
After all, Ye Yu didn't give him much time to hesitate. She had a string of 20-shot bangs in her hand. She unscrewed one of them, but she actually held it in her hand instead of putting it on the ground to light it. This was something that only a few people could do.
After the core of the cannon was ignited, it was thrown into the open space in the yard with a "whoosh".
"Bang"!
It's so loud.
Not to mention the children in the same courtyard, even the children in the alley heard the sound and gathered around eagerly, calling the sweet-mouthed "Sister San Ya, Sister San Ya".
As expected, Ye Yu said that she was the most popular child leader, but her mother didn't believe it.
“Bang!”, “Bang!”, “Bang!”
Ye Yu lit a few more homemade cannons, and the children watching clapped their hands, shouted and jumped, all with sunny and happy smiles on their faces.
Setting off firecrackers is as contagious as yawning, and the yard was soon filled with the sounds of bangs and bangs one after another.
The Spring Festival is quite fun.
Ye Weiguo heard the sound of firecrackers from a long distance away. His eyes lit up and his ears pricked up. He identified the direction and found that it was coming from the compound where he lived. He quickened his pace and almost rushed to the back. His voice was no less than the sound of the firecrackers: "Why don't you wait for me!"
Ye Yu looked over when he heard that.
Oh, her parents were still nagging her about growing too fast, but they didn't even look at Ye Weiguo. In just a few months, this kid has already grown half a head taller, and his body has become stronger. I can only say that the food in the national team is quite good.
Although he still looks silly, it may be because of the silly smile on his face.
Ye Yu teased him: "What are we waiting for you for? Are you going to bring us something delicious?"
"It's not that there aren't some delicious ones, but there's a prerequisite: you have to beat me. Let's have a cannon fight." Ye Weiguo raised his head like a proud rooster, and as in previous years, he spread his hands and asked Ye Zhongguo for a homemade cannon.
But Ye Baoguo happened to escape today.
This surprised Ye Weiguo. Aren’t the two brothers like a pair of brothers?
Ye Baoguo hummed:
...Who shares the same pants with you?! I only give him the ones he no longer wants!
Ye Yu looked at the two brothers with amusement as they started to have a conflict. She probably understood that Ye Baoguo was just being jealous.
The main reason is that Ye Weiguo is living such a good life.
The benefits of the sports training team are really good. The clothes worn by Ye Baoguo are of a classic style that can go down in history. They are Plum Blossom brand sportswear. The materials used for the clothes are also extraordinary. They are bright red with three white stripes on each arm and sleeve. They are fashionable and eye-catching among a pile of gray patched cotton coats.
As an older brother, Ye Baoguo is often compared with his elders or neighbors. Some people even ask him why he doesn't go for physical training.
After a long time, jealousy is inevitable.
And it's not just Ye Baoguo who is jealous here. Ye Weiguo's friends who usually get along well with him are also jealous.
But Ye Weiguo has a low emotional intelligence. He can't figure out the reason and is so anxious that he can't find a solution. He is also a little fool.
"Just you?" Ye Yu was in a good mood today and helped him out. "It won't be possible even after a few hundred years."
Ye Weiguo was unaware of Ye Yu's kindness and jumped up and down even more excitedly.
But the result is undeniable.
Whether it was firing a cannon, sprinting, jumping over the goat, cockfighting, or even various classic games such as Eagle Catches Chicken, Ye Weiguo, who claimed to be the king of children, was always defeated by the real king of children, Ye Yu.
Ye Weiguo might really be talented in table tennis. Everyone who trained with him was defeated by him. In addition, due to the times and the lack of senior players, he rarely suffered defeat.
So I really felt a little bit dizzy.
Now that he was so frustrated, he actually proposed to play table tennis with someone who had obviously never learned table tennis.
Ye Yu refused decisively. Firstly, she was afraid of revealing that she actually knew how to play table tennis. She also didn't want to go to the Olympics with her golden finger. Most importantly, no matter how good the centralized management life in the sports training team was, it was definitely not suitable for her.
"Okay, okay, you win."
Ye Weiguo:
“Not really!”
"How do you count? Why don't you compete with me to see whose hair is longer? Your hair is the shortest here, so you're last." Ye Yu looked at the confused Ye Weiguo, flicked his head, and asked, "Are you awake?"
Ye Weiguo:
"……not yet."
But he seemed to understand something. He should not compare his strengths with others' weaknesses, or use his weaknesses to compete with others' strengths.
Combining what the coach said in recent times, I can think of more.
Since the World Table Tennis Championships were held in Great Britain in 1992, it was basically the world of Europeans before the 1950s. After the 1950s, the Japanese team emerged and won four championships in women's team, men's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles, which shocked the world table tennis world. Ye Country originally had a feud with Neon Country, and the current goal is of course to defeat Neon Country. His opponent, Ye Weiguo, should not be his third sister or his teammates, but those little devils!
Ye Yu didn't know that Ye Weiguo's rusty brain could actually spread out of the universe and come out in a circle, but he could still notice that he suddenly seemed to have overcome his inner demons and his eyes became clear.
Although he was still full of fighting spirit and had a strong desire to win, he was not as extreme and crazy as before. He even asked her for better ways to exercise.
Ye Yu:
...Yes, there is, but the main problem is that there is not enough time.
The maximum number of days off during the Spring Festival is ten. If it's more, the Youth League Office will come to the house and kick you out. Hua Feifei and the others' cultivation methods are obviously not suitable for Ye Weiguo. There are shortcuts, but they require a lot of Chinese medicine, which is impossible to get together. He can only reluctantly teach them some hand exercises that are in line with the meridians.
"That's all right."
Physical training in China is still in its infancy, and a lot of training is based on trial and error and is not necessarily scientific. Ye Weiguo still feels that the method his third sister knows is most suitable for him.
On the other hand, Ye Baoguo had stopped being jealous when Ye Weiguo was defeated repeatedly, and was only worried.
In fact, he also understood that Ye Weiguo's excellence was not only due to his talent, but also due to his diligence and persistence every day for 365 days, and he himself failed here.
Ye Baoguo really backed out after seeing the daily life of the physical trainees.
There is something that Ye Baoguo has never said. In terms of academic performance, he is the worst in the family in many aspects. He may not be the dumbest in the family, but he is definitely the least ambitious and the most lazy one. He probably left his desire to win and the baggage of being conspicuous to his younger brother, and it is indeed very comfortable to slack off.
Indeed, although some people compared him with Ye Weiguo, he also often showed off his awesome younger brother Ye Weiguo to others.
The two brothers reconciled immediately.
The defeated Ye Weiguo had to give most of the snacks he brought back to Ye Yu, and could only share the three dragon beard cakes he brought back with Ye Baoguo.
The last one is the kind where each person gets half, isn’t that as good as wearing a pair of pants?
Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo sympathized with each other: "Big Devil!"
Today's work is not over yet.
Wang Lai Di was busy in the kitchen. She wanted to find someone to help her, but found that no one was there.
Ye Hongjun hid behind the window and peeked in. Ye Yu, Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo were having fun outside the yard.
Wang Lai Di hit Ye Hongjun's arm with her elbow. She hit a man with much more force than she hit a child. Ye Hongjun's face turned pale on the spot and he muttered: "Aoshi——"
Including Ye Hongjun, the four of them went back in shame to continue their work, and Ye Yu was forbidden to enter the kitchen. Even Ye Weiguo was allowed. The big devil could not escape the punishment of Tathagata Buddha after all, and the two brothers finally felt relieved.
Ye Yu ate a lot of dried mango slices feeling aggrieved.
New Year's Eve is definitely the most sumptuous meal on the table this year, which is incomparable to previous New Year's Eves. There are braised pork, braised fish, bacon, sweet and sour spare ribs, seafood stew, chicken stewed with carrots, duck soup stewed with white radish, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, tofu and bok choy, and stir-fried fresh vegetables, a total of ten dishes.
The main goal is perfection.
The staple food is mainly white flour buns, or brown sugar buns mixed with a little bit of corn flour. If that is not enough, there is also steaming white rice.
Too luxurious!
Last year, Ye Hongjun and his wife could not imagine that they would have such a sumptuous dinner. In the past, Wang Laidie was still worried about how to make a variety of delicious dishes with limited ingredients, but this year she needs to think about how to get to ten dishes.
Generally speaking, before the meal begins, one should say something auspicious.
But after Ye Hongjun finished saying “every year is better than the last”, Wang Lai Di told Ye Yu not to eat all the fish, so that there would be surplus (fish) every year.
Ye Yu:
...No puns allowed!
After Ye Hongjun and Wang Laidie picked up a piece of food with their chopsticks and ate it, it meant that the meal was about to begin. The three brothers Ye Yu, Ye Baoguo and Ye Weiguo could not wait to start chopping with their chopsticks and knives.
Everyone ate to their heart's content, and everyone had a full stomach and mouth full of oil.
Wang Lai Di's instructions were very useful. Her mother's braised pork was definitely not as delicious as the one made by the cafeteria chef, but the braised fish was surprisingly good. Ye Yu fell in love with this dish again. Not to mention the fish head, she even wanted to swallow the fish bones and fish leaves.
Wang Lai Di spared his life by offering him a knife.
Okay, then pouring a little fish soup and serving it with steaming white rice will be fine, right?
Others: “…”
