The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Donglin was in a good mood. He was driving the donkey cart on the road with a smile on his face. The donkey's hooves made a cheerful clattering sound.

The grocery store was not far away, and in about fifteen minutes we returned to Taohua Village, where smoke was rising from chimneys.

It was still daylight at this time, and a lot of people gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. It looked quite lively.

After entering the village, the donkey cart that was running very fast suddenly slowed down. Ye Donglin greeted the villagers enthusiastically.

"Young man from the Ye family, you picked up some money today, you look so happy!"

"That's right, if you have any good news, tell us about it!"

Ye Donglin was waiting for this sentence, and immediately grinned and boasted:

"Nothing, just three kids got A's in the year-end exam!"

Seeing that no one was talking, he added cheerfully:

"Getting the A grade is nothing special. It just means you can be promoted to the more difficult B grade smoothly."

"..."

Do you think we want to care about you?

Ye Donglin didn't need anyone's response. He smiled and continued driving the donkey cart forward.

After walking a few steps, he ran into an old acquaintance. Before the other party could say anything, Ye Donglin began to show off:

"How do you know our child got an A?"

At this time, the three brothers sitting in the car looked at each other, their faces flushed with shame.

The curtains that had been lifted were quickly pulled down, for fear that someone would see him inside.

After showing off in the village for a while, even the dogs in the village knew the good news. Then Ye Donglin drove the donkey cart towards the Tang family.

Although the homework assigned by the teacher has been completed in the grocery store, the three little guys still have to be sent to the Tang family for boxing training.

Seeing that he finally stopped talking, the three little guys breathed a sigh of relief.

Being shown off like this, even the usually shameless Xiao Qi couldn't stand it and wished he could get to know this person.

At this time, two very familiar figures appeared at the door of the Tang family.

As soon as he saw his little friend, Xiao Qi's shyness disappeared and he excitedly leaned forward and waved his little hands desperately.

"Master is back!"

Erya and Ergouzi are one or two years older than Xiaoqi, one is 7 years old and the other just turned 8 years old.

Children of this age are already considered big kids in the village, and they often help with housework at home.

Therefore, compared to the three people studying in the academy, he was obviously much darker and looked stronger.

The two little guys were squatting on the ground and playing happily with Big Yellow and Little Yellow. When they heard Little Seven's voice, they immediately came over with the two dogs.

"You're back!"

During the autumn harvest some time ago, Ergouzi was busy in the fields every day. His face was sunburned and peeling. When he smiled, his two rows of white teeth were extremely conspicuous.

Meanwhile, Arya, who had two small hairpins on her head, complained quietly:

"I'm getting hungry waiting. If you don't come back soon, I'm going home to eat."

The three little guys couldn't wait to jump off the donkey cart one after another without waiting for Ye Donglin to stop it.

Then he ran to his friend with a thump.

"Let me tell you, I got an A in this monthly exam. Isn't that awesome?" Xiao Qi raised his head high, his voice full of pride.

"It's just A-grade, who isn't?" Chenchen was a little bit arrogant, but still couldn't help showing off secretly.

"I'm also in Class A. After the New Year, the three of us can be promoted to Class B together."

As soon as he finished boasting, Little Stone started to feel shy and his little face turned red.

Seeing that the little guys were happily chatting, Ye Donglin quietly drove the donkey cart back home.

Well, today is a good day, so I have to cook some delicious dishes to celebrate.

Ye Qingqing already knew that there would be a monthly exam today, and she could hear a few little ones chattering and showing off from afar.

Knowing that several of them were ranked A, he was so excited that he turned around and happily grabbed a hen from the chicken coop.

"Dad, come and help."

"Hey, come on, come on!"

Tang Xiaojing had just arranged for the little guys when Ye Qingqing called him over in a hurry to kill a chicken.

The Tang family made boiled chicken, and the Ye family next door was making braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs.

Ye Donglin returned home and walked into the kitchen with a proud look on his face. He happily helped Wang Chunyu and prepared to cook some delicious dishes today.

Seeing the two of them smiling so happily, Ye's mother hurried in:

"You look so happy. Xiaoqi, did you do well in this monthly exam? Can you be promoted to Class B?"

"Of course there's no problem. All three brothers got A's."

Amidst laughter, the aroma of braised pork filled the yard.

Wang Chunyu was full of confidence in this child. He went to the town early to buy the gifts and came back to celebrate.

Of course, if I don’t do well in the exam, the braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs will have to be replaced with pork braised in rattan.

During this year, the little ones have grown a lot taller, and their postures have become more and more upright. They dance the Five Animal Play with great vigor and power.

Xiao Qi, who was standing at the front, had a serious look on his face and didn't know that he had escaped a disaster.

Ye Qingqing was really happy today. In addition to the boiled chicken, she also fried a large plate of bacon and cooked a big pot of rice.

Seeing that there was more food, he enthusiastically invited the little ones swinging on the swings in the yard to stay for dinner.

But before he could finish his words, several people who had been warned by their families not to stay at the Tang family for dinner immediately ran back home on their short legs.

Ye Qingqing couldn't stop them, and in the end she only caught Xiao Shitou, the youngest and most honest one.

"Yaozu, my cousin made boiled chicken and bacon. They are definitely better than your mother's. Let's stay here for dinner today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingmei, who came to pick up her son, appeared at the door.

"You are so good, Ye Qingqing, you are saying bad things about me when I am not around." She glared at her good sister unconvinced.

Ye Qingqing was not afraid of her, and even teased her with a smile:

"That's not a bad thing. The food you cook is indeed not as delicious as mine. That's the truth."

"Humph, I won't listen to your nonsense. Little Stone, let's go home. Mom has prepared a table full of delicious food for you."

It turned out that before Ye Donglin went home, he made a special trip to Wang's house and told Grandma Ye's family in advance that Xiao Shitou had won the first place.

Ye Qingmei and her mother-in-law happily prepared a large table of food. When they saw that their son had not returned for a long time, they came over.

The two sisters quarreled for a few more words, then hugged their sons and prepared to eat with pride on their faces.

While eating, Xiao Qi's mouth was full of oil and his cheeks were bulging. He said incoherently:

"Mom, the braised pork you make is the most delicious. I wish I could eat it every day."

Ye Donglin knocked on Xiao Qi's head and said, "You wish for it. This meat is not cheap. If you don't get an A in the next monthly exam, you'll be beaten."

"It's no big deal. It's definitely not a problem for me."

Xiao Qi patted his chest, looking very confident, as if he had already secured an A grade in the next exam.

The family sat together, laughing and talking, and the small farmyard was filled with a warm atmosphere.
