The happy little days of the Ye family

After Ye Xilin and Ye Mu returned, the customers in the shop also finished their shopping and left one after another.

It was getting late, and these women were rushing home to cook.

Ye Donglin was the only one left in the huge grocery store.

Anyway, he was idle, so Ye Donglin quietly counted the money at the counter.

Every day at the grocery store, Ye Donglin is happiest when counting money.

"One penny, two penny, three penny... 6 taels, 856 penny. Not bad, not bad, more than what we earned all day yesterday."

Ye Donglin grabbed a handful of copper plates with a smile on his face. The copper plates collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

Looking at this entire drawer of copper plates and broken silver, Ye Donglin's eyes almost turned into the shape of silver.

Small profits but quick turnover, the items sold in grocery stores are not expensive, and profits are usually between 20% and 30%.

Ye Donglin calculated his calculations energetically, and after a while he calculated it. The profit of the grocery store in the morning was about one or two or eight dollars.

If you add in the profit in the afternoon, you can probably make two taels of silver today.

Ye Donglin was happy, but he knew it very well.

Today's situation is quite special. After the New Year, business will not be so good in the future.

At this time, the Baijia restaurant next door was very busy, and there was a smell of meat.

"Gulu gulu..."

Ye Donglin touched his flat stomach. He was also a little hungry.

There is no kitchen in the grocery store, so Ye Donglin goes to the small shop selling buns in the alley for lunch every day.

That small shop was the one Ye Qingqing bought with her own money before she got married.

Ye Donglin walked to the door and saw a little boy passing by who usually came to buy candies.

"Boy from the Lin family, come here."

Ye Donglin gave him a piece of candy as reward and asked him to help buy buns.

"I want two meat buns and three steamed buns."

"okay!"

The little guy took the candy and copper coins and ran over to buy buns.

This little kid lives in this alley, and Ye Donglin is not afraid that he will take the money for himself, since his home is here anyway.

The grocery store was deserted in the afternoon, with only one or two people coming to buy things occasionally.

And the ones who come the most are the children from the neighborhood who come to buy candies.

Although they are all biliterate, Ye Donglin is not too young at all, and he has almost become close buddies with them.

Ye Donglin is very scheming and is actually plotting to get their lucky money.

After the new year, he plans to place all kinds of pastries, candies, and various wooden toys in the most conspicuous place to collect all their lucky money.

The children in the alley had no idea what Ye Donglin was thinking.

But even if he knew it, he would probably still come here with coins to buy delicious and fun things.

There were fewer and fewer people coming to the grocery store. Ye Donglin sat at the counter and started to stare out of boredom.

My wife is still in confinement, and there are two little ones at home, Xiaoqi and Tangtang, who need someone to take care of them.

In addition, in the past two months, I have to help make pastries and roast duck and chicken in the shop.

His grandma and his mother had a hard time, and they both felt tired and thin.

There are also younger siblings who have just moved in. My wife is still in confinement. His mother and grandma are both busy, so many things at home fall on her.

Moreover, the grocery store has been doing well recently. He leaves early and comes home late every day. The heavy work of chopping wood and carrying water basically falls on his younger brother.

Ye Donglin thought that he had made a lot of money this year, so he should reward his family members.

Thinking of giving something away, Ye Donglin became entangled again:

"What would be a better gift?"

Ye Donglin thought that his father usually liked to give silver jewelry to his mother, especially bracelets, earrings and hairpins.

"Silver jewelry is not only beautiful, but can also be used as silver flowers. How about giving each of my mother, grandma, and Xiaoyu a piece of silver jewelry?"

The more Ye Donglin thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea, but it would be difficult for him to give jewelry to his siblings if they wanted to avoid suspicion.

In addition to the women at home, his grandfather, his father and his brother should not be forgotten.

Ye Donglin walked around the grocery store and picked out a small jar of good rice wine. This would be just right to drink during the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow.

Mr. Ye's belt has turned white after washing, but the old man is frugal and has been reluctant to change it.

Ye Donglin picked 4 belts in the grocery store, which happened to be one for each of his four grandparents.

Finally, I picked out a piece of fabric, this one was for Li Guoer.

After selecting the fabrics, Ye Donglin saw that there were no customers in the grocery store anyway, so he packed up his things and went to the largest silver shop in the town.

It's the end of the year, and the business of the Silver Building is also very booming, and it's bustling with people.

And most of them are wealthy people who are very well-dressed.

The waiters in the silver shop were laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. Ye Donglin wandered around the shop for a long time, but no one paid him any attention.

There are many good things in the silver shop in the town, and Ye Donglin is dazzled by all kinds of exquisite jewelry.

After shopping around for a long time, he finally picked three silver bracelets weighing two taels and six cents each.

Ye Donglin was afraid that the three of them would compare in private. The three bracelets were almost the same in terms of weight and style.

This is what he learned from his father Ye. A bowl of water is kept flat, so that no one can find fault with it, and no one is afraid of feeling uncomfortable.

Because the gifts given to his younger siblings were made of fabrics, gifts were different. Ye Donglin gave the silver bracelet in private.

Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye kept saying that Ye Donglin was spending money indiscriminately, but they couldn't hide the smile on their faces. The crazily raised corners of their mouths had already betrayed them.

As soon as the bracelet was in their hands, they put it on immediately, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily walked around the village together.

"Aunt Wang, have you eaten yet?"

As she spoke, Ye Mu casually lifted her hair from her forehead, revealing a shiny silver bracelet.

This conspicuous big bracelet is difficult for everyone to see.

Before asking, Ye Mu said cheerfully:

"This bracelet was bought for me by Dong Lin. You said that I do embroidery at home every day, and the bracelet can easily scratch the silk, so I don't have much chance to wear it. Isn't this a waste of money?"

"..."

"I told you not to buy these useless things, but my children didn't listen and insisted on buying them."

"..."

Before Mother Ye could finish speaking, the woman beside her quickly ran away.

Not far away, Mrs. Ye directly stretched out her hand in front of several women, "It's the New Year, what new year's goods has your family prepared?"

"What do you think of this bracelet? My eldest grandson bought it for me. Why do I still wear a silver bracelet at my age?"

"..."

"The child is filial and insists on buying it for me. I won't be happy if I don't take it."

"..."

Before Mrs. Ye could say a few words, a large group of people around her ran away cursing.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not finished talking, so they went to another place in the village hand in hand.

Within half an hour, the entire Taohua Village knew that Ye Donglin bought them silver bracelets.

That night, many families were beating their sons and grandsons, and Ye Donglin almost became a public enemy in the village.
