After all, they are just children, and their emotions are somewhat inexplicable, as changeable as the weather in June, coming and going quickly. After Lin Qi said this, Ye Ansheng was already looking forward to catching bugs together.
"Of course I'm not afraid. My chickens eat the insects I catch." Feeling Ye Ansheng's bright and admiring eyes, Lin Qi was very pleased and it was as if his chatterbox was suddenly opened.
"I even encountered a snake! I picked it up by the tail and spun it around, but it was no match for me."
"And hedgehogs. I've encountered plenty of them out there. I've even had people compete with me in catching bugs, but they were no match for me."
After all, he was young, and as he enjoyed himself, he became less and less restrained in his words. It was not until his ears were pulled by Lin Moer that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Lin Qi, you are so brave! You even dare to provoke a snake?" Lin Moer, who was a little scared after hearing this, said with a stern face.
Children in the village are not that precious, so it is common for them to run around outside. However, there are some dangerous things that no one is allowed to do.
Lin Qicai, feeling the pain, finally came to his senses and truly understood the saying, "Trouble comes from the mouth." "Sister, I was wrong. It was just once. Don't tell my mother. I won't dare to do it again."
"Forget it this time, but next time you see those things, stay away from them." Lin Moer nodded slightly, but still said it with a slight warning.
Lin Qi, who had escaped a disaster, echoed the sentiment repeatedly. With a strong desire to survive, he quickly flattered her, "I promise there won't be a next time. Thank you, Sister Mo'er. Sister Mo'er, you are the best."
Using a pound of meat to make a meal made Ye Wanwan deeply understand the feeling of spending a penny in two. A mere pound of meat, divided into four ways, only then did the head of the household realize how expensive firewood and rice are.
There is the braised pork that Lin Qi likes, the steamed egg with minced meat that Lin Moer likes, and the fried pork with chili that Ye Ansheng likes. There is also a broth with two beaten eggs added in, which is also delicious.
"Mmm... It's so delicious." Although he was still craving for that bite, it was only when he saw the elders picking up their chopsticks that Lin Qi put the braised pork he had been longing for into his mouth. In that instant, there were only two words in his mind: satisfaction!
Although the others didn't say it directly, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces. Who wouldn't be happy when eating delicious food?
"Dad, Mom, there's no need to save it for us. We'll have plenty of time to eat meat in the future." Ye Wanwan scooped a spoonful of steamed egg with minced meat for each of them and said confidently.
After all, they are poor. Her parents are reluctant to stick their chopsticks into the meat. She must get out of poverty and eat meat every day!
Seeing this, Ye Ansheng also picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers for everyone and said, "Sister, you're right. Life will get better and better in the future!"
After hearing what their children said, the couple looked at each other and felt that the food they put into their mouths had a sweet taste, the kind that went straight to their hearts.
The dishes on the table were cleared out, and the dining atmosphere was warm and harmonious. However, after the meal, when the Lin family was about to go back, there was some controversy about where Ye Wanwan should go.
"Wanwan, you've been living at home for a while. Why don't you go back first?" Fang was a little reluctant, but it would be easy for people to gossip about a married woman who always lives in her parents' home.
After Ye Wanwan corrected them several times, the Ye family had already forgotten about Ye Cuihua's name, which was so rustic.
Ye Ansheng pulled Ye Wanwan's sleeve, tugged it gently, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I don't want you to leave."
"Okay." Ye Wanwan looked at the helplessness written on Fang's face and finally agreed, but she was secretly thinking about divorce in her heart.
The Ye family is her home, and this is not just talk. She really wants the Ye family to change, and she also wants to contribute to the change of the Ye family.
After hearing Ye Wanwan's reply, Ye Ansheng was so anxious that he almost cried, but the other three, big and small, were very happy.
"Brother Ansheng, come to my house and sleep with me." Noticing that Ye Ansheng was a little depressed, Lin Qi said like a good friend.
Hearing this, Ye Ansheng felt a surge of hope. He raised his head and looked at Ye Bufan and Fang, asking for their opinions with his eyes.
Ye Bufan rubbed his head innocently, but could only refuse, "Ansheng, sister will come back next time."
"Grandpa and grandma, it's okay. Let brother Ansheng go with us. I will take good care of him." Lin Qi patted his chest and assured. As an older brother, he could still take care of his younger brother!
The look in Ye Ansheng's eyes when he looked at Lin Qi at this moment was not just admiration, it was almost like he was looking at a savior, full of how great he is.
"Dad, Mom, it's okay, just let Ansheng go over and play." Before Ye Bufan could speak, Lin Xu'an interrupted.
As the old saying goes, a young boy will eat his father out of poverty. Seeing that both parties were willing, Ye Bufan had no choice but to pack some rice and flour, but was rejected by Lin Xu. "Dad, there's no need for that. What do you think of my family?"
"Yeah! I can still be with my sister." Walking on the way to the Lin family, Ye Ansheng shook his head and jumped around, and every cell in his body was happy.
Lin Qi rubbed Ye Ansheng's head, like a big brother, and said, "Ansheng, I'll take you to catch insects later. I can also take out bird eggs."
"Qi'er, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Lin Mo'er was a little stressed when she heard the words "stealing bird eggs". "Stinky carrot head, isn't it dangerous to climb a tree?"
Lin Qi covered her mouth, trying to hide something, "No, sister, you heard it wrong."
Ye Wanwan, sensing a story behind the scene, looked at the three little ones with interest, "Lin Qi, what did you do?"
"Aunt San, can I trust you?" Lin Qi said solemnly, as if he was at the negotiation table, ready to die.
Ye Wanwan suppressed her smile. Little Radish Head, you have a strong sense of ceremony. "Of course, we are good friends. Why don't you tell your Third Uncle?"
Lin Xu'an, who had done nothing but was inexplicably excluded, was a little confused and muttered, "Can't I just believe it?"
"That's not necessary. Let's make a pinky promise." Lin Qi glanced at Lin Xu'an and stretched out his hand.
Ye Wanwan cooperated with her childlike innocence, "Make a pinky promise, hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change."
"When I went to catch insects, I saw a snake. I caught it on impulse." Lin Qi said in a low voice, feeling a little proud and guilty.
Ye Wanwan looked at Lin Qi's small body, as if she hadn't expected such a brave soul to be hidden inside. However, this behavior was still not worth promoting. "Let it go this time, but if you do it again next time, we won't cover for you anymore."
"Catching snakes is too dangerous. What age and skills are required to do it? Don't you think so?" Ye Wanwan was afraid that Lin Qi would not be convinced, so she added patiently.
"Yeah, I won't dare to do it again next time. Not until I grow up." Lin Qi nodded. It was because he was too young that people were worried.
The face in his memory seemed a little blurry. When Lin Xu'an heard these words again, his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to that summer.
