The happy little days of the Ye family

When Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing returned to Ye's house, there was no one in the house.

Ye's father went to the grocery store, and Mrs. Ye, Mr. Ye and his two grandsons took dry food to Xiaohoushan. Only Ye's mother and Ye Qingqing were left at home.

After a simple lunch, Ye Qingqing was driven back to the house to do embroidery by Ye's mother, while Ye's mother returned to her parents' home.

Ye's mother's natal home is very close to Ye's family, just a few alleys away, and she returned to her natal home in less than a while.

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son worked as a shopkeeper at a dim sum shop in the town. The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yang, and several grandchildren were all in the town.

The younger son manages the family's fields and takes care of his parents at home. He married a Li family from the next village and has three children. The younger daughter is naturally Ye's mother.

When Ye's mother returned to her parents' home, only Grandma Ye and Mrs. Li were at home. Mrs. Li was embroidering a picture of He Xiu, while Grandma Ye was giving instructions.

Grandma Ye was an embroiderer in the town when she was young. Although she can no longer do embroidery because of her poor eyesight, she can still be a master and lead apprentices. Grandma Ye taught her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

"Aren't you usually doing embroidery at home at this time? How come you have time to come back?" Hearing the footsteps, Grandma Ye thought it was a neighbor who came to visit, but she didn't expect it to be her daughter.

As soon as she saw her biological mother Ye Mu, she felt aggrieved. She couldn't help but step forward and hold Grandma Ye in her arms while acting like a spoiled child and telling her about the Yang family Xiufang.

"You, you have been unwilling to practice your embroidery skills since you were a child because you are good at color matching and a little clever."

"Although these gold silk handkerchiefs you made are exquisite and noble, they are not difficult. If you are willing to learn, you can make them with a little money."

"Although these embroidered handkerchiefs are a bit simpler, they are beautiful and noble. Why don't we sell them in the county. There are many rich people in the county, and the ladies will definitely like them."

Mrs. Li couldn't put it down when she saw the handkerchief Ye's mother brought. Ye's mother is very talented in color matching and has a flexible mind. Her embroidery is beautiful and clever. It's just that her family loves her very much and is worried that her eyes will be tired, so they don't force her to practice hard.

Li is just the opposite of Ye's mother. Li is average in talent but very hardworking. After marrying into the Ye family, she slowly made a breakthrough under the guidance of Grandma Ye. Although her embroidery skills have improved, she still lacks a little aura compared to Ye Mu.

"Your second sister-in-law is right, why don't you go to the county town to sell embroidery. There are few rich people in the town, so we can't give high prices." Grandma Ye hugged Mother Ye lovingly and felt very distressed.

"Yang's Embroidery Workshop does not accept large pieces of embroidery, and the prices offered by other embroidery companies are low. There is no need to make these purses and handkerchiefs here. According to me, just make big embroidery pictures, and a good one The big picture can’t match how many handkerchiefs you make.”

Grandma Ye was really worried about her youngest daughter and daughter-in-law. Ye's mother was talented but refused to study hard, and her youngest daughter-in-law was diligent and eager to learn, but she just lacked talent. It would be nice if the two of them could be combined.

"Your second sister-in-law is doing a good job in embroidery now, and this big picture will be embroidered soon. We originally wanted to go to the county town to see if we can sell it at a good price. When the big picture is embroidered in a few days, you Bring your embroidery and go to the county seat with us."

"Okay, I'll go with you then."

"It's getting late, you should go back and cook quickly. You are so old, and you are still acting coquettishly, and you are not ashamed."

Grandma Ye saw that Mother Ye was no longer angry, so she started to tease her. She blamed the old man for doting on his daughter and raising her to be so delicate, so she was married off.

Mother Ye was in a good mood when she got home, and she had already begun to think about what to embroider on the big picture.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing had just finished cooking when they heard the sound of their two sons playing in the distance.

Brothers Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin rushed in laughing and joking, each carrying a large basket containing toon that had just been picked from the tree, and two baskets of pigweed in their hands.

Then Mr. Ye came in pushing a wheelbarrow with two bulging sacks on it. Just as Ye's mother was about to step forward to help, Mr. Ye motioned to Ye's mother to go behind and help Old Ye's push the cart.

Mrs. Ye behind her was also pushing a wheelbarrow with two large bags of things on it.

As soon as the door closed, Mrs. Ye laughed out loud with joy. "We have found a treasure in this small back mountain."

"Milk, what's in this sack? Is it spring bamboo shoots?" Ye Qingqing hurriedly came out of the room when she heard the sound of Mrs. Ye and the others coming back.

"It's spring bamboo shoots. The bamboo forest in Xiaohoushan is bigger than that in Backshan. There are a lot of spring bamboo shoots in it. There are also bamboo fungus. We also picked bamboo fungus."

Ye Xilin cheerfully took the two baskets of pigweed over and took away the pigweed on the upper layer. The lower half of the box was filled with bamboo fungus.

Mr. Ye moved all the spring bamboo shoots off the two wheelbarrows. The old lady opened one of the bags of spring bamboo shoots, took out two and handed them to Ye Donglin, asking him to return the wheelbarrow to Uncle Li's house next door.

The Ye family only has one wheelbarrow, and the other one was borrowed from Uncle Li's house next door.

Then Mrs. Ye took out another empty basket, put a few huge spring bamboo shoots in it, filled the basket with a basket full of bamboo fungus, and then handed it to Mother Ye.

"It's all stuff from the mountains and it's not worth much. This bamboo fungus is rare. You can take it back to your parents' house and give it to your mother-in-law to try. You can also borrow your parents' donkey cart by the way."

During this time, the Ye family often went to Ye's mother's house to borrow donkey carts, which made old Mrs. Ye feel embarrassed.

"Okay mom, I'll be right back."

Mother Ye was not embarrassed at all when she went back to her parents' home to borrow a donkey cart all day long. She happily carried bamboo fungus and spring bamboo shoots back to her parents' home. Grandma Ye's favorite was chicken soup stewed with bamboo fungus. This basket was enough to stew it twice. Chicken soup.

"Mother, mother, look what good things I brought back for you!"

Grandma Ye and Mrs. Li were cooking dinner when they heard their daughter's voice and hurried out.

Grandma Ye wiped the water on her hands on her clothes, and took the basket and basket from Mother Ye's hand. Looking at the things in her hands, Grandma Ye was both happy and a little worried.

"You silly girl, don't bring things to your parents' house all day long. Forget about the spring bamboo shoots. Take the bamboo fungus back if it's rare. There is a lot of food and drink at home. There is no shortage of these things."

Grandma Ye knew that the Ye family used to send wild vegetables and spring bamboo shoots to restaurants. Bamboo fungus and spring bamboo shoots could be sold for money, so she was embarrassed to ask for more. Moreover, the Ye family bought a mountain, so Mrs. Ye probably doesn’t have much money left.

"My mother-in-law asked me to deliver it. I need to borrow the donkey cart at home tomorrow. If you don't accept it, my mother-in-law will be embarrassed to use our donkey cart." Ye Mu directly carried the bamboo fungus and spring bamboo shoots into the kitchen and put them away. .

"Your mother-in-law is so kind. It's okay to borrow this donkey cart."

Ye's mother-in-law's house is close to home, and the people in the Ye family are kind and harmonious. Grandma Ye is very satisfied with this marriage in the Ye family.

"By borrowing the donkey cart, do you have to deliver wild vegetables and spring bamboo shoots to the restaurant?" Grandma Ye asked in a low voice.

Grandma Ye learned two days ago that the Ye family had delivered wild vegetables to the restaurant for a month and actually made almost ten taels of silver. She was so shocked that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.

Ye Mu glanced at Mrs. Li who was busy in the kitchen and said in a low voice: "The restaurant no longer accepts wild vegetables and spring bamboo shoots. Today, my father-in-law came back from digging a lot of spring bamboo shoots from the small back mountain, and there are also two baskets of Chinese toon. He wants to collect them." Test the waters in the market.”

Li is a very nice person and has a good relationship with Ye's mother. One bad thing is that she likes to gossip. Some things Ye's mother secretly talks to Grandma Ye in private.

"That's okay. There are a lot of good things in Xiaohou Mountain. You can sell the big bamboo forest and the toon at the foot of the mountain for a lot of money. I guess you can make back the money you paid to buy the mountain in a few years."

Both Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye are successful and have considered everything carefully, so Grandma Ye has nothing to worry about. He waved his hand and told Ye Mu to go back to eat quickly.

"Xiuxiu's family is really generous. They have sent so many things over this time."

Mrs. Li looked at the basket full of bamboo fungus and huge spring bamboo shoots, and she felt so good. My family hasn’t eaten meat for a long time, so tomorrow I can make stewed chicken with bamboo fungus and braised spring bamboo shoots in oil.

When Ye's mother drove the donkey cart back, Ye's father had already returned. Several people had packed their things and were waiting for Ye's mother to come back for dinner.

During the meal, Ye Mu talked about the Yang family embroidery shop and going to the county town to sell embroidery. Mr. Ye thought for a while and decided to go to the county town with Ye's mother and the others. He had long wanted to visit the dock.

"My boss and I are taking a day off. Let's go with you then!" Father Ye has only been to the dock in the county town once. There are many merchants there, and Father Ye also wants to see if there are any business opportunities.
