The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin had just finished cooking the pig food when Ye's mother and Old Lady Ye came back one after another.

As soon as Old Mrs. Ye walked in, Ye Xilin brought out a plate of melon seeds, followed by two little kids who were munching on cakes.

"Grandma, which family comes to you for matchmaking today?" Ye Xilin came over with a grin and a gossipy look on his face.

Old Madam Ye rubbed the two little guys' heads and then said with a smile:

"He's from Fangjia Village. He's the youngest son of the village chief's younger brother."

After hearing what Old Lady Ye said, Ye Xilin immediately remembered who it was, "That boy is called Fang Yucai, right? He broke his leg when he was a child, and he has a limp because of this."

"That boy, even though he walks with a limp, it doesn't affect his walking and working. Besides, he's good at carpentry, so it won't be a problem for him to support his family."

"The boy from the Fang family is 17 this year. His mother came to me and wanted me to help him find an honest and capable wife. The betrothal gift is quite high, as much as eight taels of silver."

Ye Xilin was cracking melon seeds and listening with great interest:

"Two silver coins? This betrothal gift is really good in the village. Besides, I have seen that boy a few times. He is pretty handsome. His legs will not affect his walking and working. It is not a big problem."

Old Mrs. Ye also nodded, thinking that the man’s conditions were quite good.

"Yes, except for the lameness in walking, the Fang family boy is doing well in all aspects. Moreover, the uncle is the village chief and his family background is also good."

"Grandma, which girl are you going to introduce?" Ye Xilin asked curiously.

"I think the sister of Wang Xiaofu, who usually comes here to collect grass for pigs, is pretty good. What do you think? Although the Wang family is not well off, the girls are pretty and smart, and they work well."

The Wang family is very close to the Ye family. The little girl grew up under the watchful eye of Old Lady Ye, so she knows her family inside and out.

The little girl has been well-behaved and sensible since she was young. When she was six or seven years old, she helped her mother with washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of the family vegetable garden. She was very capable and kind-hearted.

Although the boy from the Fang family has a minor problem with his legs, it does not affect his work and earning money. His family is well off, and his parents and brother and sister-in-law are also kind people.

Fangjia Village is not far away, and there are young people in the family who are still unmarried. Old Mrs. Ye has been paying attention to them for a long time. It is indeed a good match.

"It sounds good, but it depends on your liking."

Just like before he got married, his family introduced him to several good girls, but he didn't fall in love with any of them. Instead, he confusedly fell in love with Li Guoer.

Just after lunch, Old Mrs. Ye hurried to Wang's house, intending to talk to Bai about their affairs.

After Ye Xilin fed the pigs, he led the two little guys who kept yawning back to the house.

The two little ones usually have the habit of taking a nap, and they want to sleep at a certain time.

Ye Xilin helped the two little ones take off their shoes, then put them on the big bed, preparing to sleep with them for a while.

Who would have thought that the two little guys who had been shouting that they wanted to go to bed just now would become full of energy once they got to the bed and didn't want to sleep at all.

Ye Xilin had no choice but to follow Li Guoer's example and tell them all kinds of bizarre stories to coax them to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the two little guys became more and more energetic as they listened, but Ye Xilin fell asleep while talking.

The two little guys were listening enthusiastically, but suddenly there was no sound. When they looked up, they saw Ye Xilin was already snoring.

Little Yuanbao stood up and walked a few steps, then sat on Ye Xilin's belly. The little guy also twisted his little butt left and right in an attempt to wake him up.

But even so, Ye Xilin still slept soundly, with no intention of waking up at all.

His sister squatted beside the pillow, grabbing his hair and playing with it. The little guy suddenly smiled slyly.

She quietly put the hair in her hand under Ye Xilin's nose and scratched it. When she saw his father turned his head to avoid it, she chased him with the hair in her hand again.

When Ye Xilin opened his eyes in a daze, he turned around and saw someone next to him, and was startled.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his sister who was making faces at him. And on his belly, there was a little guy sleeping soundly.

Ye Xilin stood up and put his eldest son on the inside, then hugged the little treasure directly into his arms and coaxed him:

"Go to bed quickly."

The little girl didn't want to sleep at first, but when she saw her father yawning twice in a row and her brother next to her was sleeping soundly, she had to lie down obediently.

However, the little girl didn't like sleeping with Ye Xilin. She rolled over and then returned to her brother. The two siblings slept close together.

Looking at the brother and sister hugging each other again, Ye Xilin smiled and then stretched out his long arm and hugged the two little ones in his arms.

While he was sleeping soundly, Ye Xilin suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. When he opened his eyes, he saw his sister pulling his hair again.

Looking at the few strands of fallen hair on the bed, Ye Xilin pried open the little girl's chubby hands with a look of heartache and tightly protected his few remaining hairs.

"You little bastard, I've told you so many times not to pull my hair."

The little girl shook her head, obviously unhappy.

He didn't dare let her play with his hair anymore, for fear that the strong little girl would pull it off.

Ye Xilin quickly lifted the little girl out of bed, and then also lifted up his brother who had just woken up and was still rubbing his eyes.

Thinking about the few little guys who sneaked away this morning, Ye Xilin came up with a great idea.

There were a lot of bamboos at home. Ye Xilin cut them into semi-circular high bamboo joints and inserted them into the ground to surround the small swing and the sand on the ground.

The sandy area was not very big, just enough to surround the entire date tree.

When Li Guoer drove the donkey cart back, she saw that Ye Xilin had just finished finishing the railing.

Seeing Li Guoer coming back, Ye Xilin's smile brightened a little more. He quickly waved at her and said proudly:

"Guo'er, look, this is the fence I just made this afternoon. If you throw all the little ones at home into it, you won't be afraid of them slipping out."

Li Guoer walked around the fence and nodded happily.

"That's right, that's right. The railing where they were previously played was too short to trap these two little monkeys. This railing is high enough. Let's see how they can climb out."

The young couple threw some of the small toys in the house into it, and then put in the two little guys who were wandering around in the yard.

The brother and sister were very curious when they saw the fence that suddenly appeared near the small swing. They grabbed the fence with their little hands and walked around slowly.

Wang Chunyu, who was passing by, saw the fence and gave Ye Xilin a thumbs up, then threw Tangtang and Xiaoba in.

The four little guys sitting on the sand looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

But it didn't take long for the little guys to start playing separately.

Xiao Yuanbao and Bao'er, brother and sister, took turns pushing each other on the swing.

Baoer couldn't control his strength well, and often swung too high in the fall, causing Xiao Yuanbao to fall onto the sand.

But Little Yuanbao wasn't angry either. He patted the sand on his body with a smile, sat back on the swing, and asked his sister to continue pushing the swing for him.

When it was my sister's turn to sit on the swing, she kept complaining that her brother was too weak to swing on the swing.

Little Yuanbao just smiled and still gently pushed his sister to play.

Tangtang sat obediently on the sand, playing with her little doll.

Xiao Ba was digging in the sand with a smile on his face. He dug a big hole, then sat in it, smiling foolishly.

Outside the fence, people passing by were watching these little guys from time to time.

Ye Xilin, who had nothing to do, even moved a small bench over, ate melon seeds and watched a few little guys playing around.

From time to time, he was still gloating and shouting: "Fight", "Fight".
