"Okay, then I'll make the call now."

He said this, but his buttocks did not move. He was still lying on the outside of the stool, his legs were swinging, and his buttocks were also shaking the stool, back and forth.

"Go ahead, it's almost dinner time. I should be at home and won't be running around. I'll call now and I should be able to find him."

Just as he was about to stand up, there was a bang, and a football was kicked in from the outside, hit the earthen stove, and bounced under his buttocks.

With a bang, the solid wood stool under his butt fell over. He put his hands firmly on the table and tried to stabilize his falling body, but he still fell to the ground.

He didn't sit on it at all. The stool had four legs, and he was sitting on two of them hanging in the air. If he didn't fall, who would?

"Fuck! Who did it? Who did it?"

A group of children who had just ran into the house were screaming, and they were squeezing to run out again, shouting, "It's not me, it's not me..."

Ye Yaodong was furious and chased him out with a whip, "No one can escape."

Father Ye also frowned from behind, "They deserve it. Buy them some kind of ball to play with. Play here and there all day long, and all the children in the village will follow."

"I haven't been able to sit or stand all day long. If I were to sit there seriously, even ten balls wouldn't knock the stool down... I deserve it..."

Ye Yaodong was really angry this time. These children were so unruly and kicked the ball home. They really needed to be beaten.

"Close the door and stop the dogs."

Those dogs didn't know what the adults were doing, but they still understood the instructions. They all blocked the door and didn't let the children go out.

There were a few dogs that intercepted me, but only a few big kids with fast legs got away.

He stood at the door and scolded seriously, "Stand still!"

The group of children, including those from their own family, those from next door, and those from the village, all stood together and looked at each other in fear. Those who ran out in time also stood at the door with their heads stretched out.

"It's not my children who are going out."

He pointed at the door. The group of children ran away as if they had been granted amnesty, and Ye Chenghai and the others also wanted to run away.

Ye Yaodong whipped them directly on their legs. In the summer, all of them were wearing thin pants, and some were wearing shorts. If he hit them hard, they would get a red mark, which instantly made them grin.

"Third uncle..."

"Third uncle...don't hit, don't hit..."

"I told others to get out, did I ask you to get out?" After saying that, he locked the courtyard door and no one could escape.

"Didn't you say that your child will stay?" Ye Chenghe shouted without fear of death.

Ye Yaodong ran over and slapped him twice, "You're not from my family? You don't have the same surname as mine, so you're not my nephew, right? I'll beat you to death, you idiot."

"Ah, Third Uncle, I was wrong, Third Uncle..."

Ye Chenghe jumped up and down and dodged in the yard. Others looked at him with gloating eyes and stood in the corner for fear of being affected. It is rare for a fool to stand up. He will die as a Taoist friend but not as a poor Taoist.

"Third uncle, they... they... they are all laughing... they all ran away just now, you can't just hit me..."

"Uncle Third, it was my eldest brother who kicked the ball! It was my eldest brother who kicked the ball, causing you to fall..."

Huh? Ye Yaodong stopped chasing and turned to look at the children. Ye Chenghai was glaring at Ye Chenghe fiercely.

"Third uncle..."

"Stand in a row and hold out your hands!"

Men and women, from big to small, spontaneously lined up and stood in a row. Even Ye Xiaoxi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and followed them, standing at the edge.

Then she stretched her head and looked around, watching them all extend their left hands involuntarily, and she also spread her palms...

This silly boy!

I want them to stand in a row and beat them, why are you joining in the fun?

"You come out!"

Ye Yaodong wordlessly carried her out, but she twisted her body and stood back.

"don't want!"

He looked at her with black lines on his head and spread his palms...

"Share...Tangtang...?"

Everyone: It’s a whip, old girl...

The old lady stood at the door and laughed. She quickly went over to lead her, "It's none of your business. Didn't you see your father holding the whip?"

Ye Yaodong pointed with his whip and motioned for Ye Chenghe to stand over.

Ye Chenghe had no choice but to stand obediently where Ye Xiaoxi originally stood, and imitated their example of spreading his palms.

Ye Yaodong struck each of them with a whip, causing their eyes to narrow in pain and their palms to be red. After the beating, they immediately shrank and hid behind their backs.

He skipped a few girls but didn't hit them. The most naughty ones were these boys, and those girls were just joining in the fun.

The three girls were surprised to see that their third uncle did not hit them and that they had escaped. They immediately took their hands back.

Ye Chenghe still shouted unconvinced, "Why didn't Third Uncle beat them?"

They glared angrily and said, "Don't come over here later and do the rubber band dance with us."

"Hmph, I have a ball to kick."

"You want to eat shit? No one is allowed to play football for these two days. Get out of here."

"Ah~ Third uncle, we were wrong..."

"Third uncle..."

"It's late. I see that you have been a little carried away by all the children in the village recently. I want you to wake up and get out of here. You are not allowed to come to my house to watch TV."

Everyone walked out with slumped shoulders and sighs with regretful expressions on their faces. Ye Chenghe was so depressed that he even shouted at Ye Chenghai: "It's all your fault. You said you were going to kick the goal, so you kicked it at the open door of the courtyard."

Ye Chenghai felt nervous, glanced at Ye Yaodong, and quickly grabbed Ye Chenghe's neck and dragged him out...

"What are you doing? Let me go...I want to tell mother that you are going to hit me again...ah...mother...big brother is beating me...dog thief...ah..."

After a while, through a courtyard wall, the usual sounds of scolding children could be heard in the courtyard.

Ye Yaodong casually threw the whip into the corner, but as soon as he finished throwing it, Ye Xiaoxi ran over and picked it up, swinging it around in his hand while yelling.

"Hit, hit, hit~ If you don't behave, hit, hit, hit~"

"Where's the duck? Where's the duck? Where's the chicken?"

She wandered around the yard looking for it, looking through the chicken and duck cages, but couldn't find it. Then she went to the old lady to ask...

Ye Yaodong didn't care about her and let her run around the yard as she pleased. Anyway, there was a black mesh woven sunshade cloth tied above her head, so she wouldn't be so exposed to the sun, and there was also wind in the yard.

The football that was kicked into the house has been hung up again by Ye's father with a mesh bag. The one was originally used to hold the basketball, but they took the basketball out in the morning and they didn't know where it was. He would have to go out and confiscate it later.

.

Father Ye watched him walk into the room, then sat down and crossed his legs, leaning against the wall, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you still sitting here if you don't go make a phone call?"

Ye Yaodong just pulled out a cigarette and quickly put it back, "Oh, yes, I forgot again. I need to call Brother Nian."

"What memory..."

He stood up again and pushed the bicycle.

Father Ye couldn't help but muttered again, "You have to ride a bicycle every step of the way, and you will be broken if you ride a bicycle three or two times..."

Ye Yaodong pretended to have heard nothing and went out turning a deaf ear.

However, it didn't take long for Ye's father to tidy up the land in the yard for him, cut half a load of sweet potato vines, and planned to push it back to the old house later to feed the pigs to his two daughters-in-law, and he came back again.

"So fast?" Father Ye put down his hoe and walked over quickly.

"How long does it take to just make a phone call?"

He also waited on the phone for 5 minutes before calling again, otherwise it would be faster.

"How to say?"

"He said he would call us and ask. If it's the flood season, he would call us. If not, he wouldn't call us yet. He would pay attention to it next."

"That's okay too."

"I just said it's not so fast. You guys have to be in such a hurry."

He didn't even ask about the gun. There were too many people in broad daylight, otherwise he would have just asked Secretary Chen when he went there.

At night, he would bring another basket of shrimps over.

Anyway, all the equipment used by the militia team has been confiscated, and there is no use leaving it there. Give him two or three to keep for self-defense, and it will be safer when he goes out.

"If you ask earlier, people will pay attention to it sooner."

Ye Yaodong crossed his arms in front of his chest with his free time, "Dad, can you still remember last year when I said I wanted to sell jellyfish in Zhejiang Province, and you were all excited and opposed it? None of you were optimistic about it."

Well, everyone was slapped in the face.

When he first came back last year, there were a lot of people asking, and this year before the time came, there were a lot of people asking again. Now his father can't wait to ask him to call in advance for fear of missing out.

Ye's father suddenly felt bored. He was obviously insulting him by saying this.
