Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Men Are Always Agreeable in Bed

Ye Yaodong hurriedly walked back to A-Guang’s house. From far away, he could already smell the fragrance of steamed crabs.

As soon as he stepped through the doorway, everyone called out: “You finally made it! Any later and you’d only be washing dishes.”

“Come, come, sit down quick, we specially saved that nine-segment shrimp for you…”

“Coming this late, you need to drink three cups as punishment!”

“Punish what? We only have this much wine, don’t let him drink it all!”

Everyone was lively and animated as they finished all the wine Fat Guy had brought, and after clearing all the seafood from the table, they each went their separate ways.

Ye Yaodong returned home slightly tipsy. The door wasn’t locked this time. He locked it behind him and went to his room.

In the moonlight coming through the window, he could only see the two children sleeping crookedly, and his wife had her back to him – he wasn’t sure if she was asleep.

He stripped down to his shorts and climbed into bed, hugging his wife and pressing close against her back, but she swatted at his hand on her waist.

“Go lie on that side, aren’t you cramped enough? It’s so hot, and you’re pressing so close, reeking of alcohol too, it stinks!” Lin Xiuqing muttered softly.

Ye Yaodong simply turned her around and stopped her chattering mouth with a kiss.

“There’s no end to this, we just did it yesterday…”

“Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, be more cooperative, wife…”

“Then tomorrow you’ll continue going beach combing with me!”

Ye Yaodong stared at her – she knew to negotiate terms at this moment!

When did she become so clever?

She was certain he would agree in his eagerness!

What man isn’t agreeable in bed?

Moreover, he had originally planned to go to the isolated island tomorrow anyway, to try to overcome his fears.

“Alright, alright, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it. Just cooperate, let’s change positions…”

“Then go take a shower first!”

Ye Yaodong: “…”

The arrow was already on the bowstring, why were women so troublesome!

Lin Xiuqing continued softly, “You smell like alcohol, and your hands smell like seafood! Too strong!”

“So demanding, wanting this and that, I already washed in the afternoon…”

“But you’ve been drinking, the alcohol smell is strong!”

Damn it, he grumbled internally, then seemed to think of the bed issue, and something else occurred to him. He said with some heat in his voice, “Fine, I’ll take a shower, but let’s move to the floor, this bed’s squeaking is too annoying.”

“The floor?”

“Don’t worry about how I manage, just listen to me, okay?”

Lin Xiuqing hesitated with a red face. Why not use the perfectly good bed, suddenly wanting to do it on the floor…

“Do you still want me to go beach combing tomorrow? If you want the ox to run, you have to feed it well, right? Give me some sweetness, and I’ll do whatever you say.”

Seeing her waver, he pressed on, “Today at the beach, I caught you a grouper, and a nest of sea hares. My luck has been good lately, I’ve helped you earn several yuan these past days, right? That’s worth seven or eight days of making fishing nets. Tomorrow’s the first day of the lunar month with a high tide, maybe my luck will be even better, catch some more big hauls…”

“Fine, go take your shower, after that I’ll do as you say!”

Getting her agreement, Ye Yaodong happily jumped up and eagerly went to shower at the back door.

Damn, after several decades of abstinence, watch him restore his male vigor!

When he finally lay on the bed like a dead dog, he didn’t want to move at all, while his wife could still put on clothes and fetch water to wash up.

He had done all this service for her, and still had to work to earn money for her!

“Come lie here, let’s sleep together!”

“My legs are weak, still haven’t had enough?”

Ye Yaodong: “…”

“Who am I doing all this for? It’s just to make you satisfied…”

“What nonsense are you talking!” Lin Xiuqing glared at him with a mix of coyness and anger.

“Ah… I’m talking nonsense… I’m talking nonsense… Come here, I need to tell you something,” after pulling her to lie beside him, he said: “I won’t go to the dock with you tomorrow…”

“Hey, don’t glare, let me finish. A-Guang is going to borrow a boat tomorrow, if he can get one, we’ll go to the isolated island for a look. Nobody goes to the surrounding small islands, there must be more goods on the reefs than at the dock.”

“Who’s he borrowing from? Will anyone lend it?”

“From his aunt’s husband, we’ll see. If we can’t borrow it, then forget it.”

“Alright then, it’s up to you. If you can borrow it, then go look around the isolated island, be careful.”

“Mm, as long as you don’t think I’m breaking my word!”

He definitely had to tell her in advance, otherwise if she didn’t see him tomorrow, she’d think he was playing games with her, and then she wouldn’t be nice to him again.

Seeing him show some initiative for once, Lin Xiuqing was willing to chat with him more, “Now that the family boat is repaired, and these past few days’ catches have been quite good, shouldn’t you take turns going out to sea with father like big brother and second brother?”

Here we go again!

Another one asking this!

Everyone wanted him to go out to sea. Ye Yaodong felt a headache coming on, but this was unavoidable. Who told them to own a boat? Unless he continued to be worthless like in his previous life, waiting for his wife to support him.

“I’ve never been out to sea, don’t know if I’ll get seasick. If we can borrow the boat tomorrow, I’ll go out for a couple rounds to see.”

“Oh.”

“Let’s sleep.”

As coastal people, how could he be afraid of being at sea? This was a challenge he had to overcome.

If they couldn’t borrow a boat, he’d wait for high tide and ask two friends to accompany him swimming from the beach to the dock, try swimming a round. After all, he had already died once, nothing to be afraid of.

If anything happened, his friends could save him!

Early the next morning, when Lin Xiuqing got up, he heard the movement and woke up too. Today he didn’t deliberately lie in bed before getting up.

Seeing him get up earlier each day, the family was puzzled but didn’t make a fuss, after all, he had been more diligent these past few days.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business. As Ye Yaodong was about to leave, the old lady secretly pulled him aside at the door.

He looked at her questioningly, and saw the old lady secretly take a boiled egg from her pants pocket and whisper to him.

“Here, take it and eat it secretly, don’t let your mother know.”

He looked at the old lady in surprise, and somewhat guiltily looked behind him, saying softly: “No wonder mother said during breakfast that the chickens laid one egg less today, so you took it.”

Seeing he didn’t reach out to take it, the old lady directly put it in his pocket, smiling with her face full of wrinkles, showing her toothless gums.

“These past few days you’ve been going beach combing every day, you must be exhausted. I secretly boiled this before making the rice porridge this morning, to give you some nourishment. Don’t let your mother know, or she’ll scold you again.”

He wanted to take out the egg, but the old lady kept pressing his hand, not letting him take it out. He felt somewhat helpless.

When he was little, the old lady often did things like this, but it became rare as he grew up. Today she was secretly giving him an egg again, and he didn’t know whether to be moved, or to be moved, or to be moved…
