Five years of marriage, always separated [1970s]

Since Dabao and Erbao knew about "equivalent exchange", Ye Fan stopped scolding them.

The next morning, Ye Fan woke up and called Dabao and Erbao.

The cool morning was suitable for a nap, so the brother and sister discussed with Ye Fan about sleeping for another half an hour.

Ye Fan asked: "I'm going to the market to buy the fish you caught last night, would you two like to come?"

The brother and sister immediately got up, found clothes, put on shoes, washed their faces and brushed their teeth.

Ye Fan took the two of them to the vegetable market and happened to meet Liu Guihua. Liu Guihua had always wanted to buy black fish. Last night, she saw people fishing in the village and heard that there were black fish, so she decided to buy two, one for lunch and one for dinner.

Liu Guihua asked Dabao and Erbao: "Why are you two here?"

Dabao: "I'll help mom get the fish."

Erbao said like a little adult: "I will learn how to buy groceries from my mother, and I will buy groceries and cook in the future."

Liu Guihua called her two children sensible, and when she got home she scolded them for doing nothing but eating and playing, saying they were no better than two primary school students.

Outside, Ye Fan gave his child some face, and when he got home, he asked, "Erbao, can you help me kill the fish and wash the vegetables?"

"No, Mom. I want to learn military boxing from Dad. You said we can't do things halfway." After saying that, Erbao went back to the house to find his dad.

Geng Zhiye was cooking porridge in the house. When he heard Erbao's words, he thought Ye Fan didn't want to wash the vegetables and kill the fish, so he asked Erbao to wait a moment. He went to the water pressurized well and called Ye Fan to get up so that he could clean up.

Ye Fan mistakenly thought that Geng Zhiye felt sorry for Erbao, so she explained that Erbao was very talkative in front of outsiders, but his true colors were revealed at home, so she said that just now.

The second baby who came out later was shocked: "Mom, are you kidding me?"

"You can act good in the market, but you can't let your mother tease you at home?" Ye Fan asked.

Erbao was speechless: "...Mom, I can press water."

Geng Zhiye raised his hand and told her to stay away: "Go practice Tai Chi with your brother. If you do that again, I'll watch you wash vegetables and kill fish!"

Considering the summer heat at noon, the passenger ship moved the departure time forward by one hour in the morning and postponed it by one hour in the afternoon. At around seven o'clock, after the Ye Fan family had dinner, Ye Fan told the two children to go to the vegetable market and meet the citizens from outside the island. The older ones should call them grandpa and grandma, the ones who were about the same age as Political Commissar Liao and Zhuang Qiuyue should call them uncle and aunt, and the ones younger than her and Geng Zhiye should call them brother and sister.

The main point is that more gifts are better than less.

As the amount of things caught last night was numerous and varied and difficult to count, the market director asked the production team leaders to bring the members to sell at the market entrance. If anyone asked, they would say they were temporary workers at the market.

The team leader divided the stalls into ten stalls according to various river seafood including small river shrimps, river crabs, grass carp, crucian carp, etc.

On Saturday morning, the team leader took a few people to the city center vegetable market to inquire about vegetable prices. They found that the farmers' harvest season had nothing to do with the citizens, and fruits and vegetables were not cheap for the islanders. Today they decided to pick a few baskets of cucumbers, tomatoes, beans and other fruits that they could not finish eating at home, and buy river fresh fruits and vegetables for free.

Although river fish is only slightly cheaper than the vegetable market in the city center, the citizens are very satisfied with buying a bag of vegetables and river fish for a few dollars. On the way back, they sighed at the generosity and business skills of the islanders.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, another wave of citizens arrived. Dabao and Erbao were not afraid of the heat and came to welcome the crowds. When they saw citizens carrying bamboo baskets or cloth bags, they called them "Grandpa and Grandma".

The young lady who came with my grandmother asked them, "Are you also employees of the vegetable market?"

Dabao shook his head: "Voluntary help. Mom said we are volunteers." He took a clean cucumber from his bag and broke it in half: "Sister, please have a cucumber."

Ye Fan was worried that her children would help others sell food worth one dollar and eat food worth three dollars, so she packed a lot of food and drinks in small packages made by her mother-in-law for the two children and asked them to take them to the vegetable market.

The female comrade who was teasing them was immediately embarrassed: "No, no, I have one at home."

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, the citizens who went to buy vegetables left. Dabao returned home and asked his mother if the citizens didn't grow vegetables. Ye Fan said that the courtyards of the citizens' houses were small, like his grandfather's house, where many people lived together, so they could only grow a little. So Dabao believed that the female comrade had some at home, but not much, otherwise he wouldn't need to buy it. Dabao stuffed it into her hand: "I still have a lot more."

Erbao took out a red tomato the size of an egg and gave it to the old man in front of her. The old man was embarrassed to pick crabs in front of her, so he just picked up a few crabs of similar size and asked the crab seller how much they were.

After this group of people left in the afternoon, Dabao and Erbao completed their mission and said goodbye. The captain of the Shanxi team sighed: "Dabao and Erbao are really not shy."

The market manager came out with some herbal tea: "She is so graceful and elegant. I don't know how Accountant Ye taught her to be so graceful."

The members of the Shanxi Brigade could not help but envy him. One member said, "When my eldest son came with me, he said it was shameful. He didn't steal or rob, so how could it be shameful? When I go back, I will tell him that he is four or five years older than Erbao, but he is not as sensible as Erbao."

However, the sensible Geng Dabao and Geng Erbao did not go home, but turned away halfway.

The room was stuffy, so Ye Fan came out to press water to wash his face. Seeing that it was six o'clock on his watch, he went to look for the two little ghosts who had not returned home yet.

Liao Miaomiao was enjoying the cool under the acacia tree facing the entrance of the alley. When she saw Ye Fan, she pointed to the northwest and said, "Are you looking for Dabao and Erbao? They went that way."

The days are long and the nights are short, and the sun at five or six o'clock in the summer is still scorching. Ye Fan thanked her, went back to the house, put on the hat that the fishermen had woven for her, and headed northwest to look for the child.

When he reached the intersection leading to the vegetable market and still hadn't found the two little kids, Ye Fan felt annoyed. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face and thought to himself, "Don't let me find you, or I'll give you two a meal of stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo slices."

With a bang, something exploded. Ye Fan was startled. Her intuition told her that it was related to her two little ghosts. She followed the sound and ran to the public toilet. She smelled a stinky smell. She was surprised because she came to the public toilet at noon. The smell was not strong. Ye Fan looked down and saw night fragrance scattered all over the ground. She paused and wondered what was wrong with the people who cleaned the public toilet. They took away the feces in the public toilet, but didn't care about the feces outside the public toilet.

But the child was the most important thing at the moment. Ye Fan looked around and saw several children squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads. "Dabao, Erbao, what are you doing?"

The children squatting on the ground seemed to suddenly wake up, looked up and saw the adults coming, as if they saw a savior, and shouted in unison: "Accountant Ye!"

"Mom!" Dabao and Erbao came running over. Ye Fan stretched out her hands out of habit. When she saw what the two children were wearing, she couldn't believe it: "Stop! Don't come over here!"

Erbao pouted her lips and seemed to be about to cry. She was almost frightened to faint just now, but her mother didn’t feel sorry for her at all.

Before his daughter could drop her golden beans, Ye Fan asked, "What do you two have on you? Where did you get it?"

Dabao and Erbao looked at each other, opened their eyes wide and exclaimed: "Brother/sister, there is shit on you?!"

The other children came over, took a closer look, and laughed. Dabao and Erbao were so angry that their faces turned red. Just as they were about to tell them to shut up, they turned around and saw that they also had spots on their bodies. Dabao immediately said, "Don't laugh at me, you have spots on your bodies too."

The other children wanted to say, how could it be possible, but when they looked down, they saw the yellow shit, and they couldn't help crying. Erbao wanted to cry in the first place, and she couldn't help crying when she saw others crying. When Dabao saw her sister crying, she pouted and started crying too, blinking her eyes. Ye Fan could hear the crying of children all around him.

The people who heard the noise and ran over asked anxiously, "Accountant Ye, what happened?"

"Ye Fan, you are such a grown-up, yet you still argue with a child?" Liu Qing pushed aside the people blocking her way and shouted.

Liao Miaomiao retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Liu Qing opened her mouth to curse back, but she saw Zhuang Qiuyue behind Liao Miaomiao. Behind Zhuang Qiuyue were Wan Siqin and Liu Guihua. They were outnumbered, so Liu Qing swallowed her curse words and said, "Sister Zhuang, please control your daughter too. I didn't say anything about her."

At this time, Zhuang Qiuyue had no time to care about Liao Miaomiao's wings. She couldn't control it: "Take care of yourself first. You are talking nonsense with your mouth open. Why is there so much shit on the ground?"

Ye Fan had a guess in his mind, but he still needed to confirm: "Dabao, cry later!"

The crying stopped abruptly, and Dabao couldn't help burping because he was crying so fast. Liu Guihua wanted to laugh: "Dabao, what's going on?"

Dabao pointed at his friend who was wiping tears not far away and said, "He threw a firecracker into the pit and it exploded. We don't know what happened."

Even though Ye Fan was mentally prepared, he still felt uneasy after hearing this. He couldn't imagine what would happen if the pit was bigger and the firecrackers were more powerful. I'm afraid it wouldn't be feces all over the ground, but corpses.

Ye Fan really wanted to beat them back to his grandmother's house: "You, you guys - really threw firecrackers into the manure pit?"

"He threw it. I was just curious to see it, but I didn't expect to get splashed with shit." Dabao wanted to cry again, "Mom, I won't watch the fun anymore."

The little boy saw Ye Fan’s scary face and cried, “Accountant Ye, I was wrong. I didn’t know—”

Ye Fan was so angry that he felt dizzy: "If you knew I would break your legs right now on behalf of your parents!"

All the children were afraid to cry, including Dabao and Erbao.

The fishermen who came over after hearing the noise changed their expressions slightly - in the past, they had no food to eat and might have starved to death, and they had no time to love their children. But now it is different. There are more options, and their children have the opportunity to go to college. They also have the energy to love their children, just because Ye Fan's tone was not very happy.

Liu Qing glanced at this scene and said with a smile: "Who do you think you are? Are you from your family? You are so nosy!"

"Shut up!" Ye Fan glared at Liu Qing and said to the little boy patiently, "You guys should be thankful that the cesspool next to the public toilet is cleaned every few days. If it was a septic tank built by the army, and a firecracker went off and the septic tank was blown up, you guys would also lose arms and legs!"

Liao Miaomiao instinctively wanted to ask if it was so serious, and suddenly she remembered a book she had read a few years ago, which was lent to her by Ye Fan. It not only taught how to farm, plant fruit trees and feed livestock, but also popular science about guns and weapons. "Accountant Ye didn't scare you. Dabao, Erbao—" she looked at the other children, "and you too. The weather is hot, and the manure pit is like a thermos filled with boiling water. If you put a firecracker in it, not only will the thermos explode, but the boiling water will also scald you."

Liu Qing: "If you say so, then so?"

Liao Miaomiao said "ignorance" and said to the fishermen, "If you don't believe me, go back and try it. It's best to stay five or six meters away and wear a self-defense mask. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you if you get hurt."

The fisherman was immediately frightened and grabbed his own child and started beating him.

For the first time, the naughty kids didn't dare to struggle or dodge. Each one was dumber than the other, as if they were frightened by Ye Fan and Liao Miaomiao's words.

Ye Fan also has children, and he felt a little distressed when he saw them like this: "They don't know the deepest limit because their elders didn't tell them. Don't hit them yet. When I came over just now, they were all squatting on the ground, scared. They might have lost their souls. Take them home quickly, wash them clean and call them back to life." He turned to his two babies.

Dabao and Erbao turned and ran.

Ye Fanqi laughed: "Stop! If you don't wait for me to get home, it will be a heavier crime!"

The brother and sister stopped in fear and stood straight.

Ye Fan came over and habitually wanted to pull the children, but when he saw the things on their clothes, he frowned in disgust: "Are you going to run around again in the future?"

Dabao and Erbao shook their heads.

Ye Fan: "Don't get too close to me. If you rub shit all over me, I'll tell daddy later."

Dabao and Erbao were three steps away from their mother, following her carefully.

Ye Fan turned his head and glanced: "Are you scared?"

Dabao and Erbao had never seen an explosion that could injure people, and they couldn't imagine it, but when they saw the excrement explode with their own eyes, they were a little scared, but more disgusted - they were covered in excrement. However, when they got home, they didn't run to the water well, but stood in the yard honestly, and went in when their mother told them to, and took off their clothes and threw them out when their mother told them to.

They hugged their heads first, so there was no dirt on their heads, but there were some on the backs of their hands, arms, and necks.

Ye Fan wiped them clean, looked at the towel in his hand, and sighed, "I can't use it anymore. It's dirty even if I use it to wipe the table!"

Dabao whispered, "Mom, I can't take the clothes anymore."

"You two can continue wearing your clothes after mom washes them." Ye Fan originally planned to clean the shit off their bodies and give them a meal of fried meat with shoe soles. But he felt that this was only a temporary solution, so he decided to do this.

The brother and sister looked horrified.

Ye Fan thought, are you afraid now? What were you doing before? Ye Fan wanted to teach them a profound lesson, so he immediately said, "Stay here obediently, I'll go to the yard to wash clothes."

Dabao shouted hurriedly: "Mom, you better beat me up."

"My hands hurt from hitting you." Ye Fan walked towards the water well without looking back.

Dabao chased out, but when he saw someone coming in from outside, he was so scared that he quickly shrank back into the house.

The person who came was Liao Miaomiao. She came from the public toilet and saw Ye Fan washing clothes, so she came in and asked, "Auntie Ye, do you still need Dabao and Erbao's clothes?"

When Dabao heard that it was no one else, he poked his head out of the house again and said, "Sister Miaomiao, please persuade my mom. If my classmates knew that I was wearing clothes covered in shit, I would be laughed to death."

Ye Fan: "Who told you to go? If you don't go home obediently, wearing clothes like this is your punishment."

Dabao said with a bitter face: "But - but it's so embarrassing."

"If you keep talking, I'll wash it every night and dry it in the morning, and let you two wear this set of clothes every day."

Dabao shut up and went to the bench to look for his sister: "What should I do? My sister is going to die of laughter."

Erbao didn't want to wear smelly clothes either: "Brother, go find Dad. Mom is very angry now, and it's useless to say more."

Dabao: "If I had known, I wouldn't have played around so much."

Erbao nodded heavily, and he didn't dare to play around anymore.

Liao Miaomiao felt the room quiet down: "Aunt Ye, you said before that they were very scared, so don't scare them."

Ye Fan: "Children of this age have forgotten the pain after the wound has healed. I must make them remember this, otherwise they will not dare to set off firecrackers themselves in the future. By the way, how are those children?"

"They look like they were scared. After listening to you, they didn't beat those little brats anymore. But when you said you wanted to break their legs, some of the little brats' parents were not too happy." Liao Miaomiao was paying attention to Liu Qing and inadvertently noticed that the fishermen's expressions were unnatural.

Ye Fan: "It's human nature. I was too angry at the time, and my words were indeed unpleasant. But they listened to what I said later, which shows that they are reasonable. Where is Liu Qing?" "Liu Qing said that you have a bad temper and are strict. When she saw her two daughters in the corner of the house, she asked them where they had gone. She told them not to play with Dabao and Erbao, or with the fishermen's children, because she was afraid that they would be injured in the explosion." Liao Miaomiao couldn't help curling her lips when she thought of what happened just now. "Aunt Guihua asked her, you think blowing up a manure pit is not a big deal, but you still teach your daughters like this. Liu Qing's face was embarrassed, and she yelled at Aunt Guihua in a bluffing manner, "Aunt Guihua, what's it to you if I teach my daughters a lesson!" After that, Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but sneered.

Ye Fan was too lazy to pay attention to Liu Qing: "Let her talk. If she doesn't play with this one today and that one tomorrow, and the two girls don't have any friends, it will be strange if they don't hate her when they grow up!"

Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but think of herself. If her mother said that to her friend in public, she would feel ashamed and embarrassed to play with her friends again. "Liu Qing's daughter may not think so. Maybe she likes to listen to her mother and only plays with children her mother approves of."

Ye Fan thought, with Liu Qing's perspective and personality, there are not many children she can recognize. Maybe they are just some honest children who take advantage of others when her two daughters play with them. Ye Fan thought of the chief of staff's child. Unfortunately, the child's mother is not stupid. Wan Siqin does not allow her own children to play with Liu Qing's children.

Ye Fan asked: "When you met Liu Qing's two daughters in the corner of the room, were there anyone else besides them?"

Liao Miaomiao shook her head: "It's just the two of them. What's wrong?"

Ye Fan guessed that Liu Qing's daughter had no friends, but he couldn't say it directly: "Where are your brother and sister? Why don't I see them?"

Liao Miaomiao vaguely understood: "My younger sister thinks Liu Qing's two daughters are too troublesome. She likes to use chicken feathers as a token of authority and doesn't like to play with them. They seem to be doing their summer homework at Aunt Wan's house. We will go back to our hometown in a few days. When we come back, Aunt Wan's family will go back. My brother and his friends don't want to go back to their hometown and do their summer homework."

Ye Fanxin said, no wonder they are rarely seen during the day recently.

Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Geng isn't taking a vacation this year?"

Ye Fan said, "How can that be possible? If you keep your nerves tense all year round, even if your body can handle it, your brain can't stand it. You'll have a holiday either at the end of October or the end of November. It depends on the specific situation."

"You're not going back to your hometown this summer vacation?"

Ye Fan: "It's too hot, Dabao and Erbao can't stand it."

Liao Miaomiao saw her holding the corner of her clothes with one hand and splashing water with the other, fearing that the feces on the clothes would get on her hands and the washing basin, and couldn't help laughing: "You'd better go wash it in the river."

"Shorts and short jackets wash quickly, and they will be ready in a moment." Ye Fan rinsed the feces off them, brushed them with a shoe brush, and finally added detergent. He continued to rinse them on the stone slab next to the water pressure well, and did not put the clothes in the basin the whole time.

Liao Miaomiao helped her press the water: "It's clean now."

Ye Fan shook his head and went to the kitchen and saw the kettle on the stove. The kettle had been warming for a long time and the water in it was at least 90 degrees, so he used the hot water to wash the clothes.

Liao Miaomiao was puzzled: "Why use hot water?"

"Disinfect viruses and bacteria. If it's the eldest and second babies who pooped themselves, I wouldn't mind, and neither would they. Who knows how much dirt there is in the pit." Ye Fan rinsed the clothes from the front, then turned them over and rinsed them again.

Dabao and Erbao couldn't help crying when they heard the word "in the pit" in the living room.

Ye Fan hung the clothes up, Liao Miaomiao was ready to go home, and ran into Geng Zhiye at the door. Geng Zhiye saw the clothes and didn't think much about it. When he went into the house and saw his son and daughter hanging their heads and wiping tears, he thought of the clothes they wore that morning on the rope, "Did you sneak off to the beach to play in the water and get scolded by your mother?"

The brother and sister looked up with tears in their eyes. It was obvious that the matter was more serious than he said.

Geng Zhiye: "Did you two get your clothes dirty in a fight?"

The brother and sister shook their heads and tried to explain, but when they heard footsteps, they turned their heads and saw their mother coming in, and they shut up in fear. Geng Zhiye felt distressed when he saw this: "Fanfan, what happened? Look how scared you made them."

Ye Fan sat down on the single chair opposite his children: "I'm scaring you?"

The brother and sister wanted to nod, but then hurriedly shook their heads and said in unison: "Mom didn't scare us."

Geng Zhiye was surprised: "Who should I trust then?"

The brother and sister said together: "Mom!"

Geng Zhiye looked at Ye Fan in disbelief. What a disaster! They weren't so well behaved even when they were babies.

Ye Fan wanted to start from the beginning when he heard someone shouting, "Accountant Ye, are you home?"

"Wait a moment." Ye Fan walked to the living room door, "I'm home, come in."

A mother and son came in. The mother held her son in one hand and carried a big watermelon in the other. The son didn't want to come in, so she pulled him hard. When he came to Ye Fan, she said she was really sorry for making the eldest and second son get covered in shit.

Dabao and Erbao came out angrily, and Ye Fan asked, "What are you two going to do?"

The brother and sister suddenly changed from ferocious beasts to docile lambs. But when Dabao thought about wearing shit-stained clothes tomorrow, he couldn't help muttering, "It's all his fault."

The child's mother nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I beat him and didn't allow him to eat at night."

The little boy shuddered with fear.

Ye Fan sighed slightly, "This is indeed a big deal, but I shouldn't have hit him. He doesn't know how dangerous the cesspool is." He said to the naughty child's mother, "Look at Dabao and Erbao, I didn't hit them or scold them."

The mother of the naughty children thought that this was not okay, but when she saw that the eldest and second children had swollen eyes from crying, she didn't understand why they were crying.

Ye Fan explained: "The child is still young and weak. If we get angry, we might accidentally break his ribs and leave him with a disease. Besides, he is still growing, so how can he not eat? Don't do this again in the future."

The little boy looked up, his face full of gratitude.

Dabao muttered, "Idiot!"

Ye Fan pulled his ear and continued, "I'll wash Dabao and Erbao's clothes so they can wear them tomorrow."

The boy's mother wanted to ask if this punishment was severe. She noticed from the corner of her eye that her son's face was filled with fear, even more so than when she said she was going to beat him to death at home. The mother became even more confused: "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Fan looked at the naughty child and said, "Which child has never been beaten? Being beaten is not uncommon! Wearing clothes stained with shit is more embarrassing than being beaten."

The naughty kid was so scared that he stepped back.

The naughty child's mother looked incredulous.

Ye Fan asked: "Did you throw away the clothes?"

The child's mother couldn't help but nodded before she could respond.

Ye Fan recounted his own laundry process, and finally emphasized: "Use boiling water to scald. The manure pit is dirtier than the toilet, and it is unhygienic to wear it after washing it with detergent."

The child's mother nodded to show that she understood, and let go of her child: "Go play. I won't hit you!"

The naughty child grabbed his mother's arm and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Ye Fan: "Even if you know you are wrong, you have to wear it for three days. Otherwise, you will forget it after two days. How dare you blow up the septic tank of the army!"

The naughty child cried: "Accountant Ye, I--" Seeing the red eyes of Dabao and Erbao, he suddenly realized that it was useless for Dabao and Erbao to be so sad. No matter how much he said, it would be in vain. "Accountant Ye, why are you so mean?"

The child's mother subconsciously wanted to beat him.

Ye Fan coughed lightly, and the child's mother was interrupted. Ye Fan smiled and shook his head: "No need. Aren't there a few other children besides him? What's there to be afraid of with someone keeping you, Dabao and Erbao company?"

Dabao, Erbao and the naughty kid’s eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, there were more than just three of them.

Ye Fan: "Tomorrow I will go to the market and tell everyone that you are wearing clothes that have been stained with feces. There are so many people in the market, and if one person spreads the news, ten people will know about it, and ten people will spread it to a hundred people. I don't think the whole island will know about it in one day."

The joy on the three children's faces froze, and they looked as if the end of the world had come and they should just die.

The mother of the naughty child was originally angry, afraid, and embarrassed for her child. She was angry that he was ignorant, afraid that he would be stabbed, and embarrassed that she would not be able to face Ye Fan in the future. But after hearing these words and seeing their expressions, the mother of the naughty child laughed out loud.

Dabao tugged at his mother's clothes, raised his head, and pleaded with his eyes: "Mom, I will take it seriously."

Ye Fan: "Do I look like I'm kidding?"

Dabao's tears came again.

Both the mother and the child couldn't help but sympathize with Dabao and Erbao. With such a mother, it's no wonder that the brother and sister are good at studying and are sensible.

Ye Fan sent the naughty kid and his mother away, and when he returned to the house, he saw the two children lying on Geng Zhiye's arms, crying, one on each side.

Geng Zhiye discussed with Ye Fan: "Can I wear it for a while? Just wear it at home."

Dabao and Erbao couldn't help but turn their heads to look at their mother.

Ye Fan: "Wear it for one day, or three days, or I'll tell everyone that your faces and bodies are covered in feces, and I'll have to use a dirty towel to clean them."

Dabao cried and asked, "Are you my mother?"

"Isn't it your mother who cares whether you live or die?" Ye Fan poked him on the forehead, "Keep crying, mom will go cook."

Erbao looked at his father and said, "You go and comfort Mom?"

Geng Zhiye was worried that the two children would have nightmares at night: "I'll try. It may not work."

Erbao immediately wiped away his tears, climbed up, and asked his father to stand up.

Geng Zhiye touched her little head and said, "Wash your face. You've cried like a kitten."

Dabao looked at his sister. Her face was not dirty, but her nose and eyes were red and ugly. He felt that his face was similar, so he pulled his sister to the yard to wash her face.

Geng Zhiye went in and discussed with Ye Fan: "Why don't we just get dressed in the house for a while? You know how much Dabao cares about his reputation."

"I said tomorrow is not now, why are you in such a hurry?"

Geng Zhiye smiled and said, "I was wrong. It won't be too late to discuss it with you tomorrow."

"I didn't say anything." Ye Fan said.

Geng Zhiye nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to say. What to eat?"

Ye Fan: "Cold noodles, please. Are you thirsty? Cut up that watermelon."

Geng Zhiye thought of the watermelon that the mother and son had given him just now: "I roughly know what happened. But where did he get the firecrackers?"

Ye Fan: "It may be leftovers from Chinese New Year, or dropped from firecrackers at weddings or funerals. It is also possible that some duds were picked up by some kids."

The truth is that it was a dud. The dude was not the one who came to Ye Fan's house to apologize. The mother of the dude was only concerned with teaching the child a lesson. On the way back, she was in the mood to ask about it. When she heard that someone gave it to him, the mother of the dude took the dude to the other party's house and told the parents of the dude what Ye Fan had said.

The naughty kid and his mother came out of each other's house and met the mother of another naughty kid. The naughty kid's mother said to her again, "Don't hit the child. He cried so much today. He will forget it after a good sleep."

The naughty kid immediately wanted to find some fresh rice noodles to hang himself.

Even if it's embarrassing not to be hanged, it's not as embarrassing as wearing clothes stained with feces.

Dabao and Erbao thought the same, so after dinner they discussed with their mother and decided to beat them to death.

Ye Fan: "I'm busy, I need to take a shower."

Erbao couldn't help but say, "I want to take a bath too."

Ye Fan: "Then I'll wash you first, I'll go get some water. Dabao, what about you?"

Dabao: "My dad and I are going to take a shower under the spittoon shed."

Geng Zhiye was surprised: "You don't mind the dirt?"

"I peed in the spittoon myself, and I'm disgusted by it?" Dabao said loudly, "The feces on my clothes belong to many people, maybe Liu Qing, Zhuang Qiuyue, and Liao Sanyang."

Dabao hates these three the most. Ye Fan wanted to laugh. It was such a strange time to tell them apart. "Keep your voice down. If Liao Sanyang and Zhuang Qiuyue hear you, they will scold you. Don't expect your mother to help you."

Geng Zhiye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fanfan, pour the water first, I'll go find my pajamas."

Erbao watched his mother go to the kitchen and his father go to the bedroom, and quickly gave Dabao a small bottle.

Dabao was puzzled: "Why did you give me Fengyoujing?"

Erbao whispered, "Pour it into the basin, wash it until you don't feel itchy when you wear dirty clothes, and don't let mom and dad see it."
