The happy little days of the Ye family

Last night, when the two of them just went to bed, it rained moderately.

When Ye Xilin got up in the morning, the ground was still a little wet.

Fortunately, as soon as the sun came out, the ground dried up quickly, which did not prevent the young couple from going out at all.

On the donkey cart, Ye Xilin and Li Guoer sat side by side outside driving the cart.

Ye Xilin was afraid that Li Guoer would be bored on the road, so he brought some spiced melon seeds out.

It's not hot yet, so the two of them were chatting and eating melon seeds. The breeze was blowing, which made them feel quite comfortable.

Ye Xilin took a melon seed from Li Guoer's hand, and when he chewed one, the whole melon seed kernel came out.

Li Guoer on the side is not very good at eating melon seeds. He often bites them too hard and has to slowly peel them out with his hands.

The melon seeds are too small, so Li Guoer doesn't like to eat them one by one. She likes to peel them first and then eat them directly into her mouth.

Li Guoer can peel melon seeds quickly, but there is Ye Xilin beside him who likes to eat them secretly.

As soon as he peeled two melon seeds, Ye Xilin quietly took one away, making Li Guoer angry and glared at him several times.

Ye Xilin smiled playfully and quickly peeled off two more pills for her, which really deserved a beating.

The young couple in the donkey cart were flirting and flirting, and the donkey pulling the cart started to be lazy when he saw that no one was paying attention.

It has rained several times in the past few days, and the road is covered with fresh and tender grass and wild vegetables. The donkey eats the tender grass happily and stops after taking two steps.

The donkey cart stopped and went for nearly a quarter of an hour before arriving at a three-way intersection not far from the door of my home.

The big green donkey stopped at the intersection, howled angrily, and swung its tail back and forth, almost hitting Ye Xilin's face.

Ye Xilin did not leave in a hurry, but stopped to teach Li Guoer the way.

"Guo'er, go to the left and that's the way to the back mountain. Our small back mountain is right behind the back mountain."

Then Ye Xilin pointed to the road on the right, "Go to the right. A little further ahead is the entrance to the village."

"There is a big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. Women and children in the village usually like to go there. It is quite lively. If you are bored at home, you can go there to play."

Li Guoer shook his head, "I don't like crowded places."

Especially in this kind of situation where women get together to talk about family affairs and gossip, she really doesn't like it.

If Li Guoer was asked to chat with the women in the village, she would rather chop firewood at home or play with Xiao Qi.

Ye Xilin drove the little donkey to the path on the left, and then started eating melon seeds again with a smile.

"That's okay. You won't be bored as long as I'm here."

Li Guoer pouted at him, "Yes, yes, your mouth will only annoy me to death. There will definitely never be a boring time."

"You little heartless thing."

Ye Xilin snatched the last melon seed from Li Guoer's hand and said cowardly:

"If it doesn't work, I'll catch Xiao Qi and let you play with him. This kid has a strong skin and can withstand beatings."

Li Guoer rolled her eyes at him, "Xiao Qi is really unlucky to have an uncle like you."

When he was young, his good brother often fooled him.

Then it is reasonable for him to fool his little nephew now.

Ye Xilin said the truth confidently, "Isn't my little nephew just for cheating? If I didn't bully him when I was young, it won't be easy to fool him in two years."

Li Guoer despised Ye Xilin, not remembering how she exploited Li He in the past.

Turn left from the three-way intersection just now, and the donkey cart arrived at the back mountain in about half a quarter of an hour.

It rained last night, and the wild vegetables on the mountain grew better.

Wild onions, bracken, shepherd's purse and water celery, moistened by the rain, sprouted from the ground one after another.

At this time, there were many women and children in the village digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and by the stream.

They were all acquaintances from the same village, and Ye Xilin kept talking all the way, either saying hello or introducing Li Guoer to recognize them.

Li Guoer called out to someone obediently, but she really couldn't remember who it was. In the blink of an eye, she forgot who it was just now.

The donkey cart walked half a circle around the back mountain, and then turned into a path with many weeds.

"From this path, there are only hills where our home and the village chief's home are. There are fewer people coming here, and there are more weeds than other roads."

Li Guoer looked around and said with a smile: "There is only one road nearby, so I'm not afraid of admitting my mistake."

It had rained last night and there were a lot of weeds on the road. The donkey cart drove for nearly a quarter of an hour before the two of them arrived at the foot of Xiaohou Mountain.

Ye Xilin parked the donkey cart and took Li Guoer to the stream.

"These paddy fields by the stream were opened up by my family a few years ago, and now they have grown into medium-sized fertile fields."

Then Ye Xilin pointed to the grassy hillside not far away:

"On the other side of the hillside is the dry land reclaimed by my family. It still looks a bit desolate now, but it will be cleared up after spring plowing."

The Li family has no land. Looking at this large paddy field, Li Guoer couldn't help but look at Ye Xilin excitedly:

"It's such a big paddy field. How many fields does your family have now?"

Ye Xilin didn't intend to hide it from her, so he told Li Guoer about his family's property in detail.

"There are two hills at home, Stone Mountain and Bamboo Forest Mountain. The wasteland at the foot of the mountains has been converted into paddy fields and a small amount of dry land."

"In addition to the 10 acres of paddy fields that were given to my sister as a dowry, there are also 40 acres of paddy fields and 10 acres of dry land here."

"In addition, close to the village, the family has 3 acres of paddy fields, 2 acres of dry land and 5 acres of sandy land."

Li Guoer didn't expect that she would marry a small landowner.

Although most of the fields were reclaimed land, they are now cultivated and are no different from normal fields.

Ye Xilin looked at the small back mountain in front and said cheerfully:

"There are also bees on the hill at home. I will take you to harvest honey later."

"Okay."

The two of them walked slowly up from the bottom of the stream, and not long after walking they came to the pigsty.

Ye Xilin pointed to the pigsty made of blue bricks in front of him and said proudly:

"Now we have six pig pens at home, and we can raise up to 6 pigs at the same time."

"The big pigs at home were all made into bacon and sold before the Chinese New Year. It seems a little empty now. If we send the little piglets at home later, the pig pens will be full."

There were originally 18 breeding pigs in the family, but now there are 10 fewer. Ye Xilin took the opportunity to look at the largest batch of pigs in the pig pen.

It has been several months, and it is estimated that after the spring plowing, I can take it home and raise it for breeding.

But there are only 6 sows in total, and there are still 4 to go.

Ye Xilin planned to go to the Tang family's pig pen later to select a few sows to use as breeding pigs.

The sow Ye Xilin plans to choose between the Tang family and the Ye family.

As for boars, you need to choose them from other families in the village.

After looking at the pig pen, the two came to the rabbit shed.

Rabbits can dig holes, so rabbit hutches are also made of blue bricks.

However, these green bricks were demolished from old houses in the town, and they didn't cost much.
