The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin spent two days and finally renovated the house.

The tiles on the roof have been inspected, and all the broken tiles have been replaced with new ones. Even if there is a violent storm, it is guaranteed that there will not be a drop of water leakage.

Ye Xilin also took Mr. Ye to repair the doors and windows in the house.

The walls inside the house were painted with lime powder, making it look bright and bright, just like a newly built house.

The Li family has prepared a complete set of furniture made of fine wood for Li Guoer, which will be delivered in a few days.

While renovating the house, Ye Xilin took the opportunity to organize everything in the house.

Now the house is empty. Except for the wardrobe and bed, Ye Xilin has moved the other things to the utility room.

It can be said that everything is ready, except for a hostess.

At night, thinking about getting married in half a month, Ye Xilin was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Ye Xilin was like a pancake, tossing and turning on the bed. Finally, he couldn't sleep, so he just got up and counted the money.

The Ye family is all obsessed with money, and Ye Xilin's favorite thing to do is counting money.

After the candles in the room were lit, Ye Xilin got under the bed.

Soon, from the mezzanine under the pillow, I took out a piece of something tightly wrapped in oil paper.

After opening the oil paper, there were three banknotes with different amounts inside, namely 20 taels, 30 taels and 50 taels, which happened to be 100 taels.

Ye Xilin counted the banknotes again and again, looked at them several times before reluctantly putting them on the bed.

Then he carefully moved the table in the room, and then took out a small gold nugget and two silver ingots from the secret compartment on the beam.

The broken silver and copper plates took up too much space. Ye Xilin went to the bank to exchange for the small gold nuggets some time ago.

It happens to be five taels heavy, equivalent to 50 taels of silver.

There are also three silver ingots worth ten taels each. The total items on the beams add up to 80 taels.

Ye Xilin is not only good at treasure hunting, he is also good at hiding things.

It took a lot of effort to push the closet open, and soon he dug out a small box in the ground below.

The small box is not big, and it is full of small pieces of silver worth less than 5 taels of silver. It fills most of the box.

The box is heavy in the hand, and the sound of the silver colliding with each other is very pleasant.

Ye Xilin grinned and counted the broken silver in the box for a long time. The total was 51 taels and 6 coins.

This was not over yet, and then he opened the large wardrobe in the room. In the center of the wardrobe, there was a small drawer with a lock.

Ye Xilin pulled out the key from the red rope hanging around his neck and opened the drawer in a few clicks.

Inside there was a 5-tael silver ingot, several small pieces of silver, and a large handful of copper plates.

Ye Xilin stood in front of the closet and counted for a long time. His legs were numb from standing, and then he finally counted clearly. There were 11 taels, 521 coins in total.

The locked drawer in the wardrobe is so conspicuous that if the little thief comes in, he will find it at a glance.

It had a lock on it, so it didn't take much to figure out that there must be money and valuables hidden inside.

Originally, Ye Xilin didn't plan to put too much money in it, for fear of being stolen.

Then it occurred to him that if he didn't find the money on the surface, he would definitely search the house for it. It would be terrible if he found the place where he hid the money.

So Ye Xilin deliberately put a small amount of money on the bright side, and hid the rest in three secret places.

Ye Xilin took the money in the drawer to the bed, and happily counted all the money he had just found again.

???100????????????5??????????????????10??????????????????51???6?????????????????????????????????11???521?????????

Ye Xilin murmured excitedly: "Then I now have 243 taels and 121 yuan. Hahaha, I must have more money than Ye Donglin."

His sister married into the Tang family. The Tang family had a rich family and probably saved twice as much money as he did. But he is not bad, and he is richer than his brother after all.

Ye Xilin thought it was troublesome and did not keep accounts. He probably remembered that at the end of last year, he had 156 taels in his hand.

Excluding the 156 taels from last year, that means 87 taels were saved this year.

It seems that 87 taels is not much, but half of the money he earns has to be paid to the public school.

Including his expenses this year, he earned at least more than 180 taels of silver this year. That's thirty taels more than last year.

Thinking of this, Ye Xilin was very excited.

Ye Xilin's current livelihood consists of breeding pigs raised at home, large pigs raised at the foot of the mountain, and rabbits.

The extra money is mainly because Ye Xilin sells bacon and skins by himself this year. Without Father Ye as a middleman, he has to make more money.

Moreover, Ye Xilin has become more and more skilled at raising pigs. He can raise at least nine out of 10 piglets. The survival rate is getting higher and higher, and he will naturally earn more money.

There are now nearly 100 of the white rabbits left behind before, and a pure white rabbit fur coat was sold at the end of the year.

After taking stock of his belongings, Ye Xilin quietly put them back in their place.

As Ye Xilin hid the things, he complained in his heart: This money is well hidden, but it is not easy to take it out.

After hiding the money, Ye Xilin was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

Sure enough, counting money is good for sleeping.

Ye Xilin had just finished counting the coins before going to bed, but in his dream he was still counting the coins.

When I woke up the next day, my hands felt a little tired for no reason.

But before he could think about it, the pigs in the pigsty started to make a noise.

Ye Xilin had no choice but to get up from the warm bed and cook the pig food honestly.

When cooking pig food, Ye Xilin was a little absent-minded.

He now has a lot of money on hand. Should he buy something for Guoer?

There is a lot of cloth in the betrothal gift, and it is estimated that the Li family will also bring some as a dowry.

The same goes for jewelry, which is included in the betrothal gift and dowry. There is no need to buy any more, and Guoer doesn't like wearing these things.

I originally wanted to go, but Ye Xilin finally found that there seemed to be nothing missing at home.

"Forget it, I'd better save the money and buy whatever my daughter wants to buy later. If I buy it and she doesn't like it, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

Ye Xilin was sitting on a small bench cooking pig food, and a small dumpling came quietly behind him.

Xiao Qi came from behind quietly. Seeing that Ye Xilin didn't notice him, she jumped on his back.

"Uncle~, please play with me, sweet potatoes and snowballs are bad and ignore me~"

"You little rascal, you don't even want to think about what you have done."

"I didn't do anything~" the little guy said innocently.

"You didn't do anything. You just shaved off the hair on the sweet potato's tail and dyed the snowball gray with plant ash."

Ye Xilin ruthlessly told the bad things the little guy did yesterday.

"I, I just want to play with them." The little guy felt a little guilty when he thought about what he had done.

When Ye Xilin saw that the little guy behind him had stopped talking, he thought he was speaking too harshly and made his nephew sad.

She hugged the little guy from behind and was about to comfort him, but found that the clothes on her back were smeared with mud.

Ye Xilin laughed angrily when he saw the mud on his hands.

"Ye Zi Le, are you itchy?"

"My name is not Ye Zile, my name is Ye Xiaoqi."

The little guy knew that Ye Xilin was reluctant to fight, so he corrected his brother-in-law with a smile.

"You little idiot, Xiaoqi is your nickname, and your first name is Ye Zile."

"My name is Ye Xiaoqi, and my uncle is Benben~."

The little guy still didn't understand what a famous name was, so he patiently corrected Ye Xilin again.
