The happy little days of the Ye family

Today, she was going to Wang's house to order duck seedlings. Ye Qingqing went back to the house, opened the drawer of the big wardrobe, and took out a handful of copper plates and two small pieces of silver.

The originally flat purse suddenly became fuller, and the purse around my waist made a pleasant jingling sound when I walked.

Hearing this voice, Ye Qingqing jumped twice naively.

Ye Qingqing carried the plump Chenchen to the door of the pharmacy.

"Dad, sir, I'm going to Wang's house in the village to order duck seedlings. I'll probably be back later."

Tang Xiaojing glanced at Chenchen, who looked like a glutinous rice dumpling, and then at Ye Qingqing's little arm:

"Aunt Chen is washing diapers. It's inconvenient for you to carry Chenchen there. This little guy is quite heavy now. You can leave him at home."

As he said this, Tang Xiaojing was about to step forward to pick up his son, but Ye Qingqing dodged him.

"No, my mother's family also wants to order duck seedlings. My mother and I will go together." Ye Qingqing hugged the little guy and walked out happily.

This pharmacy is full of herbal medicines. Ye Qingqing is afraid that this little guy will stuff the herbs into his mouth, so he doesn't feel safe leaving him here.

Ye Qingqing returned to Ye's house and smelled a strange and sweet smell as soon as she entered the door.

"It's delicious!"

Mother Ye was playing hide-and-seek with Xiao Qi in the yard. When she saw her daughter, she couldn't help teasing her:

"Hey, it's so early today."

"Mom, what are you talking about? I get up very early every day. I am a diligent and good lady." Ye Qingqing boasted with a smile.

"You have the nerve to say this, I'm ashamed of you."

Ye Qingqing came to Ye Mu and started acting coquettishly, "I haven't seen you for two days. Mom, do you miss me?"

"Think about it!" Ye Ming's tone was very perfunctory.

Xiao Qi, who was originally hiding behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, ran out like a cheerful bird after hearing Ye Qingqing's voice and hugged Ye Qingqing's calf.

"Xiao Qi misses my aunt and Chenchen too~"

"Xiao Qi is so good. Auntie misses Xiao Qi too."

"Yeah...Brother..." Chenchen in Ye Qingqing's arms was also very happy to see Xiao Qi.

Ye Qingqing lowered her head and rubbed Xiao Qi's furry little head, then raised her head and looked at Ye Mu:

"It smells so good. Is sister-in-law working on new pastries again?"

Ye Mu took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from Xiao Qi's forehead, and then sighed:

"Yes, the business of Liu's pastry shop is good during the Chinese New Year, but the pastries in the grocery store are very deserted. Your sister-in-law has just given birth and has started researching new pastries."

"Hey, there are too many people following the trend these days, and it's hard to do business."

Not only is there a new pastry shop in the grocery store, but even Ye's father's grocery stall on North Street now has a lot of competitors.

There are only so many people buying things. Now that there are more people trying to steal business, business will naturally be bad.

"Although doing business makes a lot of money, it's not as bright as a day's work. The competition is huge and the variables are huge." Ye's mother is still worried about her family's business.

Ye Qingqing also knows that although the Ye family has made a lot of money in business in the past few years, it has not been smooth sailing, and there are still many worries.

"By the way, where is grandma? Why haven't you seen her?" Seeing that Ye's mother was not in a good mood, Ye Qingqing quickly changed the subject.

"Just now someone asked your grandma to be a matchmaker, and they went to find the Autumn Harvest Lady with Tangtang in their arms."

Since Mrs. Ye stopped making hairbands and hairbands, she focused on bringing Tangtang at home.

Occasionally, when someone asks her to be a matchmaker, she goes to see the Autumn Harvest Lady, and they work together to make money.

Old Mrs. Ye really likes to be a matchmaker for others. She can not only find out a lot of gossip, but also give some pocket money.

Now that she no longer has to take care of the house, Old Mrs. Ye is living a very fulfilling and nourishing life, which makes Mother Ye feel a little envious.

The mother and daughter went out together, talking and laughing.

The daughter-in-law was still studying pastries in the kitchen, so Mother Ye simply brought Xiao Qi with her to save him from being naughty at home.

Ye Qingqing held Chenchen in her arms, and Ye Mu held Xiaoqi's hand, dragging the whole family towards Wang's house.

The Wang family that raises ducklings is at the far west end of the village, quite far away from the Ye family. Just halfway through, Ye Qingqing's hands were sore.

"This little guy of yours is getting heavier and heavier. If you get older, I won't be able to hold you."

Seeing this, Mother Ye lovingly hugged Chenchen over and asked her daughter to hold her eldest grandson.

"Chenchen is so well-raised. This little face is so plump and plump."

Looking at her grandson who looked so much like her daughter, Mother Ye seemed to have seen Ye Qingqing when she was little.

She had carried this little girl since she was a child, and she became a mother in the blink of an eye. Time is not forgiving.

Xiaoqi is still young, and the family usually only lets him play at the door or with two friends near home. He has never been to the west side of the village.

The little guy was very curious about everything around him, jumping around and looking around.

"Auntie, whose house is this? It's so big and beautiful!"

"The puppy is so cute, can I take it home and raise it?"

"what is this……"

"aunt……"

"grandmother……"

From the time he left home until now, the little guy has been chattering and chattering non-stop, making Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing's heads grow bigger.

"Yeah yeah yeah..."

Chenchen was also very excited, jumping excitedly in Ye Mu's arms, and babbling in response to Xiaoqi's words.

The Wang family heard that they started raising ducklings many years ago and were among the first families in the village to build blue brick houses.

When the mother and daughter arrived at Wang's house, there were two young women inside who also came to order duck seedlings.

Although Ye Qingqing rarely goes out, most people in the village know each other. Seeing that these two people are strangers, Ye Qingqing can't help but be curious.

But they didn't know each other, so Ye Qingqing was too embarrassed to come up and talk to them.

Ye Mu said to Aunt Wang very familiarly:

"Sister Wang, my family wants to order 80 ducklings, all of which are female."

Aunt Wang took the money handed over by the two women in front, turned around and responded cheerfully:

"Okay, but doesn't your family make roast duck? These 80 are not enough, right?"

"There aren't many wealthy people in the town. We just sell a few ducks a day and raise them in batches. We don't need to raise too many at one time."

Aunt Wang smiled heartily and said: "Okay, okay, then I will leave you 80 female ducklings first."

Then he looked at Ye Qingqing with a smile: "Where's Qingqing, how many ducklings do you want?"

"I want 60 of them, all of them female. I still have some old ducks at home, and the small fish and shrimps in the river are not enough to eat."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll write it down for you first. They're all from the same village anyway. If you want ducklings in the future, just come directly."

The Tang family and the Ye family are big duck farmers, and Aunt Wang's attitude is very friendly.

"By the way, Auntie, do you have any goose seedlings here?" Ye Qingqing was still thinking about stewing the goose in the iron pot.

"There are also geese seedlings, but not many. There are still about 50 of them."

"Then I want 20 pairs of goose seedlings."

"Then I want the remaining 10 goslings."

Ye Mu had no intention of ordering goose seedlings before coming here, but she didn't expect the geese to be ferocious and could be kept to guard the house against thieves, so she ordered 10 more.

Aunt Wang smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I will send these little guys directly to your family later."

Normally, the Wang family wouldn't send it to their door, but the Ye family and the Tang family were big families, so Aunt Wang would thoughtfully ask her men to send it there every time.

After the number of ducklings and gooselings was agreed upon, the mother and daughter took out their wallets and paid the deposit.

By this time, the two women from earlier had also left.
