The happy little days of the Ye family

Wang Chunyu was very happy when she saw the silver bracelet Ye Donglin bought for her, and immediately put it on.

"Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful. With my lady's slender hands, whatever she wears will look good."

"Grumpy."

Although Wang Chunyu didn't say anything, his heart was as sweet as honey. Looking at the bracelet on his hand, he couldn't put it down.

As for the bracelets for Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye, she didn't say much. Honor the elderly, this is what you should do.

Since her pregnancy, the family has taken great care of her. During the confinement period, it is even more difficult to reach out for food and open your mouth.

The two elders were busy all day long and had to help take care of the two children. It was indeed hard work. Wang Chunyu was very grateful.

Looking at the shiny silver bracelet on her hand, Wang Chunyu opened her account book with a smile and began to write and draw on it.

Since Wang Chunyu gave birth to a child, he felt that his memory was not very good, and he forgot many things as soon as he turned around.

While you still remember today's income and expenses, write them down quickly, otherwise you may not remember them tomorrow.

Although Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin had learned to read and write, they could only recognize some simple words, not more complex ones.

When keeping accounts, Wang Chunyu couldn't remember how to write a word. He couldn't remember it no matter how much he thought about it.

Sometimes I scratch my chin, sometimes I scratch the back of my head, but I just can't remember.

Ye Donglin saw his wife looking distressed, she looked quite cute.

While she wasn't paying attention, Ye Donglin secretly kissed her left cheek.

Wang Chunyu's face turned slightly red, and she gently pushed Ye Donglin away, "Don't make trouble, I'm keeping accounts."

"I'm obviously doing something serious. If you don't understand anything, just tell me directly. There's no need to worry about it here."

The problem is that Wang Chunyu is embarrassed to say that she can't write.

Seeing that the man couldn't be pushed away, Wang Chunyu simply stood up, pressed Ye Donglin on the chair, and asked him to do the accounting.

Ye Donglin has been studying for several years, and he usually manages a grocery store, so he doesn't care much about bookkeeping.

After a while, Ye Donglin recorded all today's income and expenses.

Wang Chunyu looked at Ye Donglin's handwriting, which was very dignified and beautiful, and felt extremely envious.

She looked up and looked at the handwriting she had written in front of her. They were different sizes and were staggered. She couldn't see it. How could it be so ugly?

Wang Chunyu himself felt a little embarrassed, thinking that he would have to let Xiao Qi practice calligraphy in the future. If her handwriting was like hers, how would she be able to take the reading test?

After recording today's accounts, the two began to take stock of the grocery store's income this year.

When Ye Donglin first opened a grocery store, the store did not sell food. It mainly sold vegetables, grains and groceries, and the business was tepid.

Pastries and roast duck and chicken were added to the shop at the back, and business slowly picked up.

Now the grocery store not only sells pastries, roast duck and chicken, but also sells miscellaneous books.

There are more people coming in and out of the shop, and other groceries are selling better and better.

Now the grocery store basically brings in about ten taels of silver every month. If you are lucky, you can get eleven or two taels.

Although Liu's pastry shop was added later, the impact was not significant.

In this month of the end of the year, business is very prosperous, and all kinds of dry goods and grains are selling very well.

Especially the roast duck and chicken, six or seven are sold every day.

After calculation, the total profit of the grocery store this year has increased a lot compared to last year, earning a full 168 taels of silver.

Seeing the general income of the grocery store, the two of them narrowed their eyes with joy. After excluding the money given to the father-in-law, they still had 84 taels of silver.

Although the two of them made more money this year, they also spent a lot of money, especially with the two little guys Xiaoqi and Tangtang.

Excluding today's bracelet purchase and various expenses this year, the two of them saved 69 taels, 889 yuan this year.

Including the 162 taels and 852 fen saved last year, the two of them had a total of 232 taels and 741 fen.

Ye Donglin grinned and put down the abacus in his hand, raised his head and said:

"I have inquired about nearby schools, such as private schools in the village. The tuition fee is two taels of silver per year. I prepare books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones myself."

"As for the school in the town, the tuition fee is 5 taels of silver per year. You have to prepare the four treasures of the study and books by yourself, and you have to prepare lunch by yourself."

"I thought that when Xiao Qi is five years old, I can send him to a school in the town for enlightenment."

"It's all up to you."

Although Ye Donglin did not take the scientific examination, he had studied in the village school for several years and knew more than himself. Wang Chunyu naturally listened to him on this matter.

"Ms. sir, haven't you also been studying for a few years and writing well? You can also enlighten your children in advance and teach them some simple things."

Ye Donglin nodded. He actually had this plan and planned to teach the little guy to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames" when he was 4 years old.

As for calligraphy, you definitely need to practice it. After all, how can you do it if you don’t have good handwriting for the scientific examination?

Even if you don’t have the talent for reading and can write well, you can still make money by copying books.

He has already decided that all the children in the family will go to the academy to study.

Those who are talented will sell money to support their education, while those who are not talented will stay at home and copy books.

At least it is a craft, and the books I have read over the years are not in vain.

The two of them calculated the money they had and found that it would be enough for Xiao Qi to go to school.

But he was not the only child in the family, there was also Tangtang, so he had to save a generous dowry for his daughter.

If there are still mistresses and mistresses in the future, I don’t know how much money will be needed to prepare.

The young couple suddenly felt that there was a lot of pressure on their shoulders. It was impossible for the two older people in front to prepare everything, but the younger two did not.

Ye Donglin thought that raising children would really cost money, so why not just have two?

Ye Donglin was thinking about whether to have a mistress or a mistress when Xiao Qi, who was dirty from playing, ran in.

Seeing that this little dirty boy was about to hug his mother, Ye Donglin quickly lifted him up.

"You are playing dirty. You are not allowed to hug your mother and sister."

Wang Chunyu quickly took a set of clean clothes and handed them to Ye Donglin, asking him to take the little guy over to take a bath.

"Don't don't..."

"No bath, no bath..."

No matter how loud the little guy shouted, it was useless. In the end, Ye Donglin stripped him naked and threw him into a wooden basin to take a bath.

The little guy resisted in every possible way before taking a bath, but when he got into the tub, he started playing with the water happily again.

When Ye Donglin wasn't paying attention, he poured water on him.

While washing, it turned into a water fight between father and son.

Finally, Ye Donglin returned to the house after washing the wet Xiao Qi.

"Madam, how about we have two children? If there is another devil like Xiao Qi, I won't be able to handle it."

Wang Chunyu raised her hand and patted his arm, "Don't talk nonsense, the child is still here."

Xiaoqi kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, holding Wang Chunyu's hand in one hand and her sister in the other.

"Chenchen, Tangtang, I want sister, sister~"

Xiaoqi often plays with Erya in the village. He knows that she has an older sister, and thinks that she doesn't have one, so she wants one.

Ye Donglin pinched the little guy's chubby face and pulled it to both sides:

"You silly boy, I can at most give you a younger brother or younger sister, but don't even think about your elder sister."

No matter how powerful he is, there is no way to give him a sister.
