Chapter 101 Testing the Waters
Sun Ye looked at his second brother who seemed to be about to fly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He turned back to look at his father and mother who were looking at each other in confusion in the main hall.
He shook his hands, put them behind his back naturally, and silently said good night to his grandparents.
After taking a few steps forward, the moon in the sky seemed to be celebrating for her. The light in the sky fell on Sun Ye, and the shadows on the ground followed her and disappeared outside the room one after another.
The courtyard gate was extremely empty at this time, with only a bare peach tree with all its leaves fallen standing in the courtyard, facing the moon in the sky.
Winter is filled with indescribable desolation and loneliness.
However, Sun Lin's heart was burning. He curled up in the quilt like a tapeworm, rolling over and over, unable to vent the excitement and excitement in his heart.
I wish I could roar to the sky, which would be better than suppressing my voice and shouting silently.
Sun Ye was much simpler and more direct. She believed that she could convince her parents and did not have any strong feelings about it. At most, she was happy that she was getting closer to her goal.
Sun's father and mother couldn't sleep all night. After discussing it over and over again, they decided that it would be better not to sell things.
Could it be that times have changed and they are unable to keep up with the pace of their children, and they don’t know whether this step is right or wrong.
But when he thought about what Sun Ye said about Bao Shantou, he felt even more upset. Why did his family always have such things that they couldn't see any benefit from?
As for the "magic water", Sun's mom and dad kept it tightly closed and usually locked the door. It was a great thing.
Since Sun Ye mentioned this, he must have some idea.
In the end, I decided to let them give it a try. It was just a few bags of dry goods. Once they knew how powerful it was, they would give up without any explanation from their adults.
Although Sun's father and mother said this, they felt unhappy in their hearts and tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
Sun Ye was probably the only one in this small courtyard who was sleeping soundly. It would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone in the other rooms was awake all night.
But the mood is completely different.
The sky gradually brightened, and white mist and frost filled the air. There was no sun in winter, and it was mostly gray.
Today, every household in the brigade got up quite early and did not stay in the room to warm themselves by the fire as usual.
Dad Sun forced himself to cheer up and followed the team measuring the land. The cold wind made him feel much more awake.
We had breakfast and lunch together. There wasn't much to do in winter, so staying at home was the best choice.
Sun Ye slept until after ten o'clock. She was too tired. She started working non-stop as soon as she came back. After finishing the work, the burden in her heart was lifted and she felt much more relaxed.
"Mom, what are we having for dinner today?"
Sun Ye leaned against the doorstep, rubbing his eyes. His hair was fluffy, with a few naughty strands of hair twitching on his forehead.
"What else can I eat? Just pickled vegetables and some carrot soup."
"That's perfect. The water is still hot. Come wash your face."
"oh."
Sun Yeji was wearing the woolen slippers made by his mother, and he washed his face and brushed his teeth with each step.
She had actually wanted to ask how he was thinking about it, and whether she needed to continue persuading him. If he agreed, he should act quickly, as every minute and every second counted.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. At least I’ll wait until after dinner to ask.
Sun Lin got up early in the morning. The Sun Lin of today is a different person from the Sun Lin of yesterday. In the past, he would always be asked to do things.
Hey, today I got up and cleaned up the front and back of the house. There is not a single dead leaf to be seen.
Visible joy.
Dad Sun didn't come back until almost twelve o'clock, and he was cold all over. Now that Dad Sun had arrived, it was time to eat.
Sun Lin sat next to Sun Ye and kept winking at him, but Sun Ye pretended not to see anything.
After drinking a bowl of carrot soup, she felt warm all over. Sun Ye didn't eat much. She covered two sweet potatoes in the fire. When the sweet potatoes were cooked, they were yellow, soft, glutinous and fragrant.
"Mom, what have you thought about it?"
Sun Ye broke off a sweet potato. The fragrant aroma tempted his appetite. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath. It tasted even better when he put it in his mouth.
"The roasted sweet potatoes at home are still much more delicious."
After sighing, I continued to eat several bites one after another, only to find that no one was talking and everyone had their heads down.
"mom?"
"Ye Zi, can't we just stop selling things? Can't we live well without selling things? Isn't it good enough to have enough food and warm clothes?"
"mom,……"
Before Sun Ye could say anything, her mother stopped her and said, "Ye Zi, I know what you are going to say. I'll tell you this. I won't stop you. But if you fail this time, you should just be honest and not think about making money by selling things."
"As for you, study hard at your university and strive to make a name for yourself. That's more important than anything else. As for you, Linzi, just think about the colorful world outside. Your father and I don't ask anything of you. Just take care of yourself and don't do anything illegal..."
Sun's mother talked a lot, but Sun's father didn't say a word. Sun Ye realized belatedly that the decision she and Sun Lin made had had too much of an impact on her parents.
"Don't worry, Mom. I won't delay my studies. My second brother will be in charge of the business. If he does anything bad, you and Dad don't have to do anything. I can straighten him out on my own."
Sun Ye quickly assured him, raising his fist threateningly. After all, everyone knew the terrifying power contained in Sun Ye's small fist.
"Yes, yes, yes, I promise I won't fight back. I'll just stand there and let Ye Zi hit me." Sun Lin also expressed his opinion.
"I won't say much more. Just know it among yourselves." Sun's mother's expression looked much better and no longer so pessimistic.
"Mom, we have a small matter that we need your help with." Sun Ye and Sun Lin looked at each other, and these words were spoken by Sun Lin.
You can't really let Ye Zi say everything. If that's the case, what's the point of him being an older brother? He might as well just be a younger brother.
"Anything else? Go ahead."
Mother Sun was calm and even a little excited. She didn't know what she was looking forward to. Perhaps she wanted to hear what other unexpected and outrageous requests would come out of her child's mouth.
She had been frightened so much in the past two days that she was already numb. No matter how old she was, could she be big enough to sell melon seeds?
"Mom, I just need a small favor from you, really, just a little..."
Sun Lin specifically gestured with his fingers, just a little bit.
"You know, Ye Zi's cooking skills are not very good. I am afraid that the melon seeds will be burnt and wasted, so I want to ask my clever mother to take the lead and fry some melon seeds."
When Sun's mother thought about it, it was true. It wouldn't work without her. With Ye Zi's cooking skills, even dogs wouldn't eat her.
“It’s not impossible.”
"That's a deal, Mom."
What did we agree on? What did I promise? Two big question marks popped up in Sun's mind.
"Mom, let's start now."
"Are you in such a hurry?"
“Every second counts!”
"Lin Zi Ye Zi, we agreed that if the firewood at home is gone, you have to go and fetch it back. We roast melon seeds all day long, and the firewood can't withstand it."
"Okay, if you don't have any, go and carry it back."
Sun Ye and Sun Lin pushed their mother into the kitchen, while their father followed quietly behind them. He wanted to see what they could come up with.
Mother Sun has a skillful technique and her fried melon seeds are usually among the best in the brigade. This time, she was even more attentive, being careful about the heat and the strength, for fear that something would go wrong and the melon seeds would not be sold.
"Okay, Ye Zi, you have a good tongue, how about trying it?"
Sun Ye picked up one and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his mother, "Mom, you fried it so deliciously. It's the best I've ever eaten."
Flattery never wears out, Sun Ye is right, it is indeed delicious.
"So I'll cook according to this standard?"
"Um."
Dad Sun also ate a few and felt that there was no difference from the usual ones. Besides, it was something that every household had, so who would be willing to spend the money to buy it?
Since the two children were still in high spirits, he didn't say anything discouraging.
"Mom, fry six pounds first, and I'll sell it this afternoon!"
Sun Lin acted immediately. In order to get to the city quickly and conveniently, he even went to the team leader's house to borrow a bicycle. He planned to buy one when he made a lot of money in the future.
In fact, the whole family wanted to go, but Mr. and Mrs. Sun had work to do in the fields in the afternoon, so only Sun Ye and Sun Lin could go.
Sun Lin rode a bike with Sun Ye. They wore thick clothes in winter, so their buttocks didn't feel uncomfortable even when they sat on the back of the bike. The only difference was that the cold wind made their faces a little cold.
Sun Ye grabbed Sun Lin's clothes around his waist with both hands. The road was a little bumpy, up and down, forward and backward. It was not like the capital where there were cement roads everywhere, so it didn't feel bumpy at all.
"Brother, when we make a lot of money, we'll pave this road with cement."
"Okay! Let's spread it all the way to the city!"
It seemed that Sun Lin would readily agree to anything he said. Along the way, the brother and sister imagined the good life after making a lot of money.
Sun's father and mother were neither sitting nor standing at home. They were worried that they would not be able to stop Sun Ye and the others if they really made money, and they were also worried that they would be sad and devastated when they came back if they didn't make any money.
The two emotions pulling back and forth make people feel uneasy.
No matter what, they have to go to work. When Sun's mother and father went to the fields, they were both absent-minded in their work. In fact, everyone in the fields was in the same situation and there was no noticeable difference.
The difference is that the people on the land are not concerned about the land they have been allocated. Everyone is silent, looking at this piece of land and then that piece of land from time to time.
It was completely dark, and Sun Ma and the others had finished work long ago. The two of them were in no mood to cook, so they just waited for Sun Ye and the others to come back.
"Do you think something has happened to them since they haven't come back yet so late?"
"If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. You just say discouraging words!" Sun's mother pushed Sun's father and wished she could sew his mouth shut. She was already extremely worried, and he still said such things.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything..." Dad Sun scratched his head, feeling a little annoyed.
"Dad! Mom! We're back!"
"It's the sound of leaves. They are back."
Mother Sun took a few big strides out of the yard, and saw two vague figures slowly walking towards her on the road.
