NOVEL WEB The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 152
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will soon be the hottest and muggiest summer season, and it will be extremely hot at that time.
Mr. Ye, Father Ye and Ye Donglin worked outside all day long, and their clothes got wet over and over again.
Ye's mother specially asked Ye's father to buy some light cotton cloth, intending to make two pairs of soft and sweat-absorbent underwear for the whole family.
After lunch, Ye Mu went back to the room, opened the cabinet, took out the white cheesecloth and cut it.
Mother Ye sat down by the window with her needle and thread to make clothes, stitch by stitch, the stitches were fine and neat.
Occasionally, the wind blows through the window, bringing a bit of coolness, and there are bursts of cicadas chirping in the trees outside the house.
Farmers almost always wear dark burlap, which is stain-resistant and wear-resistant, and they are not afraid of ruining their clothes when going up to the mountains or to the fields.
Mother Ye felt sorry for her family. Her outer clothes were all made of dark burlap, but her inner clothes were made of soft cotton.
The cotton cloth that Ye's father bought this time was light and soft, and felt cold and very comfortable. Ye's mother thought that if the clothes were made early, the mainstays of the family would suffer less.
Ye's mother sat there all afternoon. After having been doing needlework for a long time, Ye's mother stood up and stretched her somewhat stiff waist.
Ye Mu raised her head and looked at the mountains in the distance, only to realize that the sun, which was still in mid-air, had unknowingly set halfway up the mountain.
Ye Mu quickly put away her needlework and neatly folded the finished underwear on the table.
In one afternoon, Ye's mother made two pairs of underwear, one for Mrs. Ye and the other for Mr. Ye. For the few people left, Ye Mu planned to do it tomorrow.
Ye Mu hurried to the kitchen, and Ye Qingqing from the next door room heard the sound and came to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables and light the fire.
After a while, a burst of smoke rose from the Ye family yard.
During dinner, Ye Xilin found that Ye's father was not on the table.
Mrs. Ye smiled and said: "Your father went to the village chief's house to have dinner and drink, so don't worry about him."
At this time, the village chief's house was busy.
Ye's father brought a bowl of fried loach that Ye's mother had just cooked yesterday, and Tangshan also brought a pot of good wine. Together with a table of delicious dishes cooked by the village chief's wife, it was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Several grown men were drinking, but there were not a few half-grown boys. Father Ye poured a glass for Tang Xiaojing beside him with ill intentions.
"Jing boy, do you want to try it too?"
Tang Xiaojing happily took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, as if nothing had happened.
Father Ye patted Tang Xiaojing on the shoulder, "You have a good drinking capacity, kid."
Tang Shan next to him smiled and said: "This boy has been growing up in the escort agency since he was a child. His uncles and uncles are not very good. They taught this boy to drink when he was a few years old. Even though he is young, he has a better drinking capacity than me." .”
Father Ye: "You are so powerful, haven't you ever been drunk?"
Tangshan ate the fried loach brought by Ye's father and said happily: "It's not that bad. He got drunk two or three times, but this guy's wine is not bad. When he is drunk, he falls asleep and doesn't make any noise. of."
Father Ye felt quite satisfied when he saw that Tang Xiaojing only drank the glass of wine he poured and did not drink any more afterward.
Father Ye pinched the muscles on Tang Xiaojing's arm. They were strong muscles unlike Ye Donglin's puffy flesh.
"Jing Xiaojie has such a strong body. It looks like he has practiced kung fu since he was a child. Why doesn't he continue his father's career and continue to be an escort?"
Tang Shan put down his wine glass and said: "Although the weather has been good in recent years and there are fewer bandits and bandits on the road, it is still dangerous. Moreover, the bodyguards sleep in the open air, come and go in the wind and rain, it is too hard."
"I only have this one son. When he was 11 years old, I sent him to a medicine shop to be an apprentice. Who would have thought that this brat didn't live up to expectations. He only learned some skills in preparing medicinal materials and never became a doctor."
Tang Xiaojing said with a smile: "Dad, you are unreasonable. Our family has never had a doctor. It is normal for me to have no talent. Besides, I have the skill of brewing medicinal materials, so I can support myself."
When Father Ye heard that Tang Xiaojing had a skill in preparing medicinal materials, the smile on his face became even stronger, "It would be good to have a skill. Our Taohua Village has many mountains and there are a lot of medicinal materials in it. You can also support yourself by selling medicinal materials."
Tang Xiaojing said with a look of approval: "I grew up in the escort agency since I was a child, and my skills are pretty good. I hunt and collect medicinal materials at the same time, so I don't have to worry about money or meat."
Father Ye: "That's good. There are a lot of mountain pheasants and hares nearby. Dong Lin has also seen a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to brew them, and he doesn't dare to pick them back casually."
Tang Xiaojing said cheerfully: "Next time if you have any medicinal materials that you can't brew, come to me and I can help with them."
Tang Xiaojing moved to the county when he was 4 years old. Although he came back every year to worship his ancestors, he went back to the county that day and had little contact with the people in the village. Now that he has moved back to the village, he also wants to make friends with his neighbors.
Ye Qiushi praised: "Donglin is good. He did a good job setting up a stall at the dock. I didn't expect that he would also collect medicinal materials."
Father Ye picked up a peanut and said with a proud smile: "It's just a small matter. There are two books about medicinal materials at home. This kid carries some medicinal materials on his back. Occasionally, he goes up the mountain to pick up some easy-to-prepare medicinal materials and sends them to the drug store to earn money. Some pocket money.”
Ye Qiushi teased Ye's father, "Everyone in the village who has a daughter now is eyeing your Donglin family. In a year or two, the threshold will probably be stepped down by matchmakers."
Father Ye: "Don't worry, this kid is only 13 years old. You can think about it in two or three years."
Tang Shan poured himself another glass of wine, glanced at Tang Xiaojing who was still devouring his food, and said with disgust:
"It depends on fate, and there is no need to rush. This silly boy of mine looks tall and strong, but in fact he is childish and has not yet figured it out."
Tang Xiaojing said with a smile: "Dad, didn't Doctor Li say that children born too young have unhealthy bones and it is best to get married after reaching 18 years old. I am only 14 this year, and it is still early to turn 18."
"How can you be so particular? When I was 18, your mother was pregnant with you."
"I am in good health, but after my mother gave birth to me, her health and bones were not good. Doctor Li said that this is also related to having children at a young age."
Father Ye on the side asked in surprise: "Is there any other explanation?"
Tang Xiao nodded and said seriously: "This is what the doctor in the county said. It is good for both adults and children to have children after the age of 18."
"Since the county doctor said it, it must be true."
The village chief saw that the people were getting more and more biased, and he talked to Tangshan about buying fields, "Shanzi, there are no fields for sale in the village recently. I suggest you buy some barren hills and wasteland, and if you cultivate it well for a few years, the harvest will be good." .”
