The happy little days of the Ye family

Ever since Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan went to Langshan in the morning, Ye Qingqing has been restless at home.

When I was doing embroidery in the morning, not only could I not calm down, but my fingers were accidentally poked twice.

Unable to calm down, Ye Qingqing simply stopped doing embroidery, dug out Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan's tattered clothes, and sewed clothes for them.

Near noon, Ye Qingqing's eyelids kept twitching, as if something bad had happened.

I didn’t have any time to cook for lunch, so I just carried Chenchen back to my parents’ house to have some dinner.

Also uneasy was Ye Mu, who had been restless all morning.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were restless, Mrs. Ye didn't dare to let them cook for fear of cutting off her own hand while chopping vegetables.

In the afternoon, Ye Qingqing and Chenchen stayed at Ye's house. Mrs. Ye gave Xiao Qi two candies and asked him to pester them.

The little guy took the candy and couldn't wait to eat one, and carefully put the remaining one into his little purse.

Then he happily patted his small chest and promised:

"Don't worry, Grandma, Xiaoqi promises to complete the task."

Xiao Qi would take Ye Qingqing to catch bugs in the vegetable garden to feed the chickens, and would take Ye Mu to play with Feifei, chattering non-stop.

The commotion made Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing not even think about the people who went to Langshan.

In the evening, Ye Qingqing prepared meals early and stood at the door with Chenchen in his arms, waiting for Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing to come back.

As soon as he saw the family's ox cart, Ye Qingqing rushed to greet it.

But the ones who were faster than her were the family dogs. Xiaohua and Heidou flew past her like a gust of wind, jumping excitedly in front of the bullock cart.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing got off the bullock cart, Ye Qingqing pulled him and looked him up and down twice.

"Did your trip to the mountain go smoothly this time? Are you and dad injured?"

Tang Xiaojing patted the back of Ye Qingqing's hand and comforted her:

"Don't worry, neither dad nor I was injured. We were just gathering herbs and not hunting. We didn't encounter any big guys."

As for the wolves they encountered halfway up the mountain, Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan deliberately concealed it for fear of worrying Ye Qingqing.

They also dug traps in the small valley today. If they knew that they encountered a pack of wolves today, Ye Qingqing probably would not have let them enter the mountain.

When going down the mountain, the four of them had already agreed that no one should tell anyone at home about encountering a pack of wolves halfway up the mountain.

However, the father and son were also measured, and the most they could do was dig traps halfway down the mountainside.

They would not dare to go into the mountains or directly hunt wild boars or sika deer.

After all, money can be made at any time, but there is only one life. When a person dies, there is nothing.

Seeing that although the father and son's clothes were torn to pieces, they were not injured, Ye Qingqing finally calmed down.

After Tangshan brought the oxcart into the yard, Ye Qingqing quickly locked the door to his house.

Then the three of them happily moved the things off the oxcart one by one, just like squirrels moving.

The father and son did find a lot of good things when they went into the mountains this time, and they almost piled up into a small mountain.

The four dogs excitedly walked around these things, sniffing left and right.

Especially Xiaohua and Heidou, who had not gone up the mountain, looked curiously and pulled at the deer that Xiao Huang had brought back.

Tang Xiaojing drove a few obstructive dogs aside, left the deer alone, and then began to collect the collected herbs.

Tang Xiaojing put the herbs that Ye Xilin asked him to help concoct and the Polygonatum japonica equally divided between the two families in a backpack.

"These Polygonatum japonicas are shared equally between the two families. The remaining herbs in the basket were prepared by Xilin, who asked me to help them. Don't touch the herbs here, don't get them mixed up."

Looking at Huang Jing, who was mostly carrying a basket, Ye Qingqing's eyes narrowed with joy.

"There's so much Huang Jing. Even if we divide it equally, it's still worth a lot of money."

As for the herbs collected by the father and son, Tang Xiaojing put them away in categories.

唐肖景仔细盘点了一下，今天一共采了有7斤春柴胡、6斤茵陈、3棵何首乌、2棵黄精、1棵天麻以及一个毒蛇的蛇胆。

In addition, there was a sack full of cheap common herbs, weighing about 50 kilograms.

Although there are no particularly precious herbs, the quantity is large and the total amount is worth a lot of money.

In addition to herbal medicine, there are also many different kinds of food.

Ye Qingqing squatted on the ground and took stock of the things in front of him with a smile on his face:

A deer deer, half a basket full of fresh and tender mushrooms, half a basket full of wild vegetables and three thick yams were enough to feed the family for several days.

The Ye family in front also burst into laughter at this time.

After getting off the donkey cart, Ye Xilin handed the two little gray rabbits that Sweet Potato and Snowball had hunted back to Mother Ye.

"Mom, it's still early, you can stew these two rabbits." Going up the mountain today, just eating pancakes and eggs, Ye Xilin was a little greedy for meat.

Mother Ye took the rabbit and looked at him with a smile, "Okay, how do you want to eat it?"

"Stewed dried beans or potatoes will do. I don't care." As long as it's meat, he's not picky about food.

Mother Ye looked at the two rabbits in her hands and suggested:

"These two rabbits are skinny. Not to mention they don't have much meat because of the oil. The stewed dried beans are not fragrant. I think they should be stewed with potatoes."

Ye Xilin raised his head from the pile of herbs and said, "Okay, let's stew potatoes."

Wang Chunyu on the side walked to Ye Mu and said cheerfully:

"Mom, let me give you a hand."

"It's a little late to stew the meat now. Xiaoyu, it's just the right time for you to come over and help."

After saying that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each carried a rabbit, wild vegetables and mushrooms and went to the backyard.

Apart from the young couple, the only one left in the yard was Mrs. Ye, who was watching with Tangtang in her arms.

Although Mrs. Ye grew up in the village, she only knew wild vegetables and did not know the herbs that the young couple picked.

Looking at these very familiar plants but unable to tell what they were, Mrs. Ye kept praising Li Guoer for her abilities.

Every compliment Mrs. Ye said was different, and she even praised Li Guoer to the point of embarrassment.

Ye Xilin on the side looked at Mrs. Ye sourly, "Grandma, why don't you praise me? I picked half of these herbs."

"What do you have to boast about? Guo'er must have taught you to pick these herbs."

Ye Xilin was raised by an old lady and she didn't even know these herbs. Old lady Ye thought that this boy must not know them.

Ye Xilin really couldn't refute this. His wife and brother-in-law had indeed taught him to identify these herbs.

Ye Xilin and Li Guoer put various herbs into categories, and the herbs used for reference were packed in a separate dustpan.

Ye Xilin picked up a few herbs and asked Mrs. Ye, "Grandma, do you know what these herbs are?"

Seeing how he looked like he didn't deserve a beating, Mrs. Ye kicked Ye Xilin directly on the butt.

Ye Xilin grinned and rubbed his butt, "Grandma, why are you getting more and more rude?"

"Gungun, don't talk."

Mrs. Ye pushed Ye Xilin away with a look of disgust and turned to look at Li Guoer with a smile:

"Guo'er, tell me, what kind of herbs are these and how much are they worth?"

"Grandma, what you have on your hand is Chun Bupleurum. It has the effects of relieving surface inflammation, reducing fever, soothing the liver and relieving depression. It costs 50 yuan per pound after drying."

Ye Xilin picked up another wild vegetable-like plant and said with a proud face:

"This is wormwood. My brother-in-law said it costs 60 cents per pound after drying."

Mrs. Ye looked at the wormwood in Ye Xilin's hand and was very excited:

"There are a lot of these in the fields and on the ridges of the fields. I didn't expect them to be so valuable. I'll dig them tomorrow."

If it weren't for the fact that it was getting dark, Mrs. Ye would have wanted to dig it back now.

Then Mrs. Ye took Li Guoer and Ye Xilin and asked them to explain the other collected herbs one by one. See what else can be found in the fields.
