The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 32 Father Ye was fired



After soaking and washing the fabric that Ye's father bought back, the wrinkles no longer showed at all, it was just as good as new.

Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye carefully rolled the cloth one by one in the hall.

"The fabric was wrinkled before. I thought someone had cheated me, but I didn't expect it to be as good as new after washing."

Women are naturally fond of beautiful things, and Mrs. Ye also likes these two pieces of patterned fabric. Unfortunately, the color is too tender and it is not suitable for her to wear.

"I plan to leave two pieces of cheesecloth to make clothes for my family. After I finish embroidery, I will make new clothes for my father and mother."

"Mom, let me help you. I have learned how to cut clothes." Ye Qingqing on the side said that he could help.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the new clothes made by you mother and daughter." Mrs. Ye said cheerfully as she packed up the fabrics.

"My daughter is really capable. I haven't made the patterned fabric that shopkeeper Yang gave me last time. I will make a top for you when the time comes."

"Thank you ma'am."

At this time, Father Ye, who was supposed to be at the grocery store, came back.

"Fengsheng, shouldn't you be at the grocery store at this time? Why are you back so early today?" Mrs. Ye asked in confusion when she saw Father Ye coming back.

"The boss asked his nephew to come to the grocery store to work as a clerk, so he fired me. He just paid my salary and asked me to come back." Father Ye said with a face.

Although Ye's father had thought about resigning from the grocery store before, he only thought about it and did not really want to resign from the grocery store.

"Why is it so sudden? Doesn't the owner of the grocery store appreciate you very much?" Mrs. Ye was so shocked that she couldn't hold the fabric in her hand.

Ye's father also didn't expect that he had been working in the grocery store for 16 years. He spent more time in the grocery store than at home. Moreover, two years ago, his boss also hinted that he was getting older and would let Ye's father retire in a few years. When he came to be the shopkeeper, he unexpectedly asked his nephew to replace him without a word.

"Didn't you dislike the low wages at the grocery store before? This batch of fabrics has just been packed away. It's not too late for you to sell these fabrics first and then think about the rest later."

Ye's father has been working in the grocery store for more than ten years. Ye's mother knew that he must be feeling uncomfortable, so she had to let Ye's father sell fabrics to divert his attention.

"Yes, sell the fabric first."

If he could make money, he would have money to do other things later, and Father Ye cheered up.

"Look, these fabrics are as good as new after being soaked and washed." Mother Ye took two pieces of fabric and handed them to Father Ye.

"These fabrics can only be considered ordinary in the county. We have no way to sell them. I think these fabrics can be sold in the town." Ye Mu suggested looking at the fabrics.

"These fabrics are considered rare in the town. The two pieces of patterned fabric are not available in the town. This piece of pure red muslin is also not common in the town. Those ladies will definitely like it."

Yang's embroidery shop can sell such expensive embroidery products, so these two pieces of fabric are nothing. Mother Ye liked it very much. If she hadn't felt sorry for Yinzi, she would have made two pairs of clothes and wore them herself.

"What you said makes sense. I will go to the cloth shops in the town tomorrow morning to find out what fabrics are popular in the town and what their prices are."

Ye's mother felt relieved when she saw how energetic Ye's father was now.

During dinner in the evening, everyone knew that Father Ye was fired from the grocery store.

Ye Donglin suddenly said: "Dad, why don't you become a salesman? I happened to buy a donkey cart at home, so I can drive the donkey cart to sell things."

"I will be 13 years old soon. I don't want to continue studying. I am not good at studying. There is no need to waste this money. I will sell goods with you."

"We'll talk about the salesman thing later. Now let's talk about your unwillingness to study." Father Ye looked at Ye Donglin with a serious expression.

"Dong Lin, you are still young now. What can you do if you don't study?" Ye's mother suddenly became anxious when her eldest son said that he didn't want to study anymore.

"Although your father and I have been fired now, I can still support you. Besides, the money for your studies has always been provided by your grandparents. They have money, so don't worry."

Father Ye looked at his eldest son who was already a teenager and pretended to be relaxed and comforted him.

"If it's because of money issues, you don't have to worry about it at all. The money I make from doing embroidery is enough for you and your brother to go to school. I haven't paid attention to the little money your father earned."

Ye's mother was anxious for a moment and said all the self-deprecating words that Ye's father usually used.

Hearing Ye's mother's words, Ye's father felt a little upset. The lady is so capable, what can he do?

"Dong Lin, do you really not want to study anymore, or are you saying you don't want to study because your father was fired and you were worried about money? Tell the truth." Mr. Ye, who had been silent all this time, said.

"I really don't want to continue studying. I went to school when I was eight years old. This year is already the fifth year. I am not the material for the scientific examination. Now I can read, write and do arithmetic. I can go to the town to be an apprentice or learn something. All skills are pretty good.”

"This year's tuition has been paid. You should finish your studies for this year first. If you still don't want to study at the end of the year, then you won't study." Seeing that his grandson's idea was correct, Mr. Ye had no objection.

"We are not the heirlooms of that famous family. If we don't have talent, we don't have to spend all our time studying here. If you are a top scholar in 36 lines, you may not have no way out by doing other things." Mr. Ye gave Ye Donglin a chopstick dish.

"Okay, if you really don't want to study by the end of the year, I will find a master for you to learn a trade."

Father Ye is not a rigid person. Since he doesn't want to study, there is no need to waste money. It is also good to learn a trade.

Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye saw that Mr. Ye and Father Ye had said this, so they could only agree.

After returning to the house, Father Ye looked at Mother Ye pitifully, "Xiuxiu, am I useless?"

"Nonsense, you can make money to support your family outside, and you can chop wood and carry water at home. You can do a lot of work. It was a slip of the tongue just now. Dong Lin said that he didn't want to study anymore. I was so anxious that I said what you usually said to yourself."

Ye's mother really didn't think Ye's father was useless. Although she made more money doing embroidery than Ye's father, it was because Ye's father and the old couple were kind to her and didn't let her work, so she had so much time to do embroidery. Taste. Father Ye was kind to her and cared about the family, and that was enough.

"Marrying you is the best decision I have ever made in my life."

"My little mouth is so sweet. I won't tease you anymore. What do you think I should do in the future?" There was no way, the lady was too good, so he could only work harder.

"Sellers can give it a try. I think Dong Lin's idea is good. We have a donkey cart at home. It can carry a lot of things without being tiring."

"You can try this. Besides, I also want to go to the dock to find some cheap defective goods."

"Is it too risky to go shopping at the pier? I was lucky this time, and the quality of the fabrics I bought was pretty good. If I found something bad, I would lose all my money."

Mother Ye's thoughts are similar to those of Mr. Ye. The family now has no worries about food and clothing, so there is no need to take risks.

"I definitely won't buy those expensive things. I don't have that much capital, so I'll just buy some cheap and reliable goods. Or I can buy some local specialties in exchange for things."

Father Ye feels that this batch of fabrics is a breakthrough. If he can make money, he will use the money earned as capital to purchase goods.

"As long as you have an idea, go to bed early. I will go to Buzhuang with you tomorrow to inquire about it."

"Madam, you are so kind. Marrying you is the most correct decision I have made in my life."
