The happy little days of the Ye family

Summer harvest is the hottest time of the year. Mr. Ye felt sorry for his family. Two days ago, he specially asked Tang Xiaojing to prepare a large bag of herbal tea to relieve the heat.

Although Tang Xiaojing only worked as an apprentice in a pharmacy, he also knew some basic pharmacology, and it was no problem to prepare simple summer-relieving herbal tea.

In addition to herbal tea, Mr. Ye also brought out half a pack of mung beans from the cellar, weighing about seven or eight pounds.

Mr. Ye divided most of these things among the family's long-term workers, and kept the other half for his own family.

In the evening, I also specifically told Ye Mu to remember to make herbal tea or mung bean porridge when cooking tomorrow.

Mother Ye took the things and responded with a smile:

"No problem. I'll get up early to cook the mung bean porridge tomorrow, and make a pot of herbal tea in the afternoon."

Ye Mu cooks mung bean soup and herbal tea for her family every year. Even if the old man doesn't tell her, she knows about it.

During dinner, Mr. Ye said at the dinner table that he would ask Xiao Qi to pick rice ears tomorrow.

The rest of the family found out about this in the afternoon and had no reaction.

Ye Donglin was stunned for a moment when he found out, but he didn't say anything when he saw the little guy's expectant look.

There was even some gloating: You kid still thinks it’s something fun, don’t come back crying tomorrow.

Afraid that Ye Donglin and Wang Chunyu were young and ignorant of their importance, Mr. Ye also specially explained:

"The Ye family was originally an ordinary farmer. Children still need to learn the most basic survival skills of farming. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else. Only if you can stand on your own."

"Although all the children in the family will go to school in the future, whether they can read or not is still a question. And even if they are admitted to be a scholar or a scholar, no one can predict what will happen in the future."

"As a person, you should not only think about the good things, but also think about the bad things. Leave enough escape routes for yourself. There is no harm in learning more things."

Mr. Ye usually doesn't talk much, but his words are extremely reasonable.

Except for Xiao Qi and Tangtang who were immersed in eating, everyone else in the family took the old man's words to heart.

Ye Xilin even planned to teach his child how to raise pigs when he became sensible. The scientific examination had not yet been decided, so he should at least learn how to support a family first.

He will not be like an old scalper who foolishly supports his children's scientific examinations for a lifetime. If they are talented, he will support them for a few more years. If they are not talented, he will make money earlier to support his family.

If you don’t have the talent, do you still want to continue studying? Then just make money for yourself.

As long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want.

His money didn't come from the strong wind. He couldn't let the whole family suffer poverty for the sake of a child.

There are times in life that must come, but there are no times in life. Don't force it. Some things cannot be forced.

Seeing that the juniors had listened to what he was saying, Mr. Ye continued to speak with sincerity:

"Studying also requires talent. Scientific examinations are like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It is not an easy task."

"Children should not be overly arrogant. If a child is pampered and the family is unable to protect him for the rest of his life, wouldn't that be harmful to the child?"

"The younger generation in the family, whether they are boys or girls, have to go to the fields for summer and autumn harvests. They have to learn how to wash, cook, grow vegetables and go to the fields."

Li Guoer usually thought that the old man was very smart and wise, but after hearing these words, he admired him from the bottom of his heart. The old man is still hot.

As a person, you still have to be able to stand on your own. As long as you have the ability, you can live a good life regardless of whether you have passed the scientific examination or not.

Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin also memorized the old man's words.

The two of them were young and had only been parents for a few years, so they didn't think about things that carefully, but fortunately they listened to the advice.

The old man has great wisdom in leading the Ye family from an ordinary farmer to a small landowner today.

The couple thought to themselves: If they listen to smart people, they will definitely not go wrong.

Mr. Ye arranged for the family's long-term workers to harvest the 40 acres of paddy fields that his family had opened up.

During the summer harvest, in addition to harvesting grain, we also have to replant seedlings for the next season. Time is very tight.

In order to save time, Mr. Ye asked an aunt in the village to cook for the long-term workers.

Mr. Ye, along with his family, was responsible for harvesting the three acres of paddy field that his family first bought.

There are not many paddy fields, and the family can finish harvesting in just two days of work. Therefore, Mr. Ye has to let the Ye family harvest by themselves every year.

Except for Ye Donglin who is going to the town to do business, Li Guoer who is feeding pigs at home, and Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye who are taking care of their children at home, everyone else has to go to the fields.

The sun is very hot in summer, and the weather is so hot that people in the village start working before dawn, trying to do more work before the sun comes up.

Xiao Qi was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by her father.

"Get up, little lazy boy. You are going to pick up rice ears in the fields today." Ye Donglin said cheerfully, even a little gloating.

Wang Chunyu, who was about to go to the ground, rolled his eyes at him, where did he come from?

Xiao Qi opened his eyes drowsily, only to see that the room was still dark, and he couldn't even see his father's face clearly.

"It's not day yet?"

Before the little guy could react, he didn't know that he had to get up to pick up rice now, so he lay down again in a daze.

Seeing that the little guy was unwilling to get up, Wang Chunyu also began to urge:

"When daybreak comes, the weather will get hotter. Get up quickly, get dressed and wash up."

When the sky was still gray, Mr. Ye took his father, Wang Chunyu, Ye Xilin and Xiao Qi to the field.

Ye Donglin originally wanted to go to the fields to collect grain, but he couldn't leave the grocery store. There were women coming to buy groceries every day, so he really couldn't leave.

As for Wang Chunyu, Mr. Ye originally planned to let her take care of the children at home, but she was really worried about Xiao Qi, so she followed him.

There are several creeks nearby, some of them quite deep. The weather is hot now, and Wang Chunyu is afraid that the little one will run to play in the water.

Everyone at home is busy with the summer harvest, so they may not be able to keep an eye on him.

This little guy is very naughty. Wang Chunyu can only feel at ease if he keeps it under his nose.

Although it is not yet dawn, there is already a lot of harvested rice in the surrounding fields, and the villagers harvesting grain in the fields are very busy.

A few people were walking on the ridge of the field. The sun hadn't come out yet, and the wind was blowing in front of them, which was quite cool.

Touched by the morning breeze, the rice fields are covered with golden waves, just like a beautiful picture.

But the few people who were focused on collecting grain were in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Plump and golden rice fell on top of the seedlings, bending them down.

The breeze blows, and the seedlings sway gently, making a subtle rustling sound, as if whispering the joy of the harvest.

Looking at the dense ears of rice, Mr. Ye showed a happy smile on his face. This year's harvest is good.
