The happy little days of the Ye family

After the brother and sister fell asleep, Ye Xilin and Li Guoer secretly dug out all the money hidden in the house like thieves.

During this period, Ye Xilin even got a hard look from Ye Li Guoer because he kicked a chair.

"Please be gentle, the two children are still sleeping."

Ye Xilin was very aggrieved. He didn't mean it. It was dark in the room and he couldn't see.

There were originally only two hidden compartments in the room, one on the beams and the other in the bed plank under the pillow.

In the past two years, the young couple has saved more and more money. Last year, Ye Xilin specially built a new small hidden compartment at the other end of the beam.

Ye Xilin was afraid that it would be unsafe to hollow out the beams of the house, so he only dug a small secret space a little larger than his fist.

Li Guoer opened the newly created secret compartment and saw that it was filled with golden nuggets.

Looking at the glittering gold, Li Guoer smiled so hard that her mouth almost reached behind her ears.

Sure enough, no one can dislike this golden gold.

There are a total of 7 gold nuggets inside, each weighing about 2 taels, for a total of 14 taels of gold, worth 140 taels of silver.

On the other side of the beam, there is a larger hidden compartment, which contains some gold jewelry and twelve silver ingots.

Li Guoer did not move the gold jewelry, but took down all the silver ingots. There were a total of 8 silver ingots.

At this time, Ye Xilin struggled to get out from under the bed, holding two pieces of things wrapped in oil paper.

Immediately afterwards, the two men gently moved the wardrobe away and dug out a small box from the ground.

The box is basically filled with small silver ingots and broken silver.

Then some copper plates were found from different places in the house.

The two of them were rummaging around in the room, making a lot of noise.

Afraid of waking up the two little ones, Li Guoer walked to the crib and took a look.

I saw the brother holding one of his sister's arms tightly, and the sister holding her brother's shoulder. The two little guys were sleeping soundly.

Seeing that the two little guys were not awake, Li Guoer lit the candle in the corner, and the two of them started counting the money with smiles on their faces.

There is no need to count the gold, you can tell at a glance that it is 140 taels.

Ye Xilin picked up two pieces of things wrapped in oil paper and handed one to Li Guoer.

Li Guoer opened it carefully and found two banknotes inside, one for 20 taels and the other for 30 taels.

On Ye Xilin's side, there were two 50-tael silver notes. The total of all the banknotes is 150 taels.

Li Guoer looked at the fluttering banknotes in her hand and turned to look at Ye Xilin.

"Ms. sir, this bank note is too fragile and will be damaged if you're not careful. I think it's better to exchange it for gold."

Silver notes are difficult to preserve and can be destroyed if you are not careful. Li Guoer thought it would be better to exchange them for gold.

However, Ye Xilin felt that the small size of banknotes made it easier to hide. And it's wrapped in oil paper, so it's not easy to break.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xilin suggested:

"Don't leave these two 50-tael banknotes for now. I'll go to the bank tomorrow to exchange them for gold nuggets for the 30-tael and 20-tael bills."

Li Guoer thought this was okay, and then the two of them counted the large and small coins on the table.

All the silver ingots and broken silver added up to a total of 136 taels and 8 coins.

Plus 140 taels of gold and 150 taels of silver notes, the total is 426 taels and 8 cents.

In addition to these, there are a lot of copper plates on the table.

But it was a little late now, and the two of them were too lazy to count. They roughly estimated that there should be about 4000 Wen.

In other words, the two of them had about 430 taels.

When Li Guoer first got married, the two of them only had 235 taels, and the extra 195 was saved in the past two years.

With these more than 400 taels, their family could live a very comfortable life in a village or town.

However, if the child wants to take the scientific examination in the future, the money may not be enough.

Ye Xilin glanced at the two children who were sleeping soundly and muttered:

"I still don't know what the two little guys will catch if they catch Zhou tomorrow."

"There's nothing to think about. Just do whatever you want."

Li Guoer has a big heart and feels that as long as she is down-to-earth and diligent, she can support herself no matter what.

I am not worried at all about my child's pregnancy and future future. In the worst case, I will just raise pigs at home.

The family has saved some money now. As long as the children don't mess around outside, they will never starve to death.

However, Ye Xilin's selfishness is that he still wants his child to take the scientific examination in the future and come back as a scholar.

Not to mention honoring the ancestors, at least they can be exempted from corvee, military service and taxes. How much money can this save?

Moreover, now that the family's wealth is getting richer and richer, in the eyes of outsiders, he looks like a big fat pig, and it is really easy to be targeted.

Without a reliable backer, the family's money may not be safe.

As for sons inheriting their father's legacy, Ye Xilin feels that it will not affect him at all.

It's good to be a scholar after taking the exam and come back to raise pigs. You have fame, status and money, but your life is still not good.

Moreover, you don’t have to raise pigs yourself, as there are long-term workers at home.

The two of them were busy again, and it took a lot of effort to put all the money back in its place.

By the time the two of them lay on the bed, they were both covered in sweat.

Since having the baby, the two of them have barely slept a full night. As soon as I lay down on the bed, there were two snores.

As soon as the two fell asleep, the younger sister frowned first, then started crying, and then the older brother also started crying.

As soon as the two children cried, Ye Xilin and Li Guoer immediately lost their sleepiness and quickly got up the brothers and sisters to check on them.

It turned out that of the two little guys, one pooped and the other peed.

The two quickly changed the brother and sister into clean diapers.

Then the two held the children and patted their backs gently. Not long after, the two little guys fell asleep again.

After a lot of trouble, Ye Xilin was no longer sleepy and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's not easy to raise children."

Just as he was about to chat with his mother, Ye Xi noticed a slight snore coming from beside him.

Ye Xilin turned to look at Li Guoer. The moonlight shone in from the open window, and he could see the faint dark circles under Li Guoer's eyes.

"It's not easy to raise children. You have worked hard these days."

After saying that, he gently hugged Li Guoer into his arms.

"Giggle..."

"Giggle..."

As soon as the big rooster at home began to crow, Li Guoer and Ye Xilin woke up immediately.

Today is the day when twins are pregnant. Except for a few little ones at home who are still sleeping, the adults got up early and got busy.

And Xiao Qi, who was tricked by her little cousin, was driven to the Tang family by Wang Chunyu early.

Arriving at the door of Tang's house, the little guy couldn't help but regret that he had boarded a pirate ship.

If I had known better, I wouldn’t have eaten those candies (*????).
