The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Mu warned Ye Qingqing: "We will keep a close eye on you. No one can say anything until the matter is settled. If it doesn't spread, it will be bad for your reputation."

Ye Qingqing was a little shy, "You know, I won't tell anyone."

Mother Ye put her arm around Ye Qingqing's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are here for everything. You and Jing Xiaozi can get along as usual. And I think he is very interested in you."

"I'm going back home to do embroidery." Ye Qingqing ran back to her room embarrassedly.

After Ye Qingqing went out, Ye's mother also got up and went to find Mrs. Ye.

Mother Ye: "Mom, you've seen how Jing Xiaozi has behaved recently. His eyes are almost glued to Qingqing."

"I just asked Qingqing. Qingqing is also satisfied with Jing Xiaozi. They are childhood sweethearts. How do you think they are compatible?"

Mrs. Ye: "We are women, we can't be too proactive, and we can't let the Tang family underestimate Qingqing. Since the Tang family is interested, we can just wait."

Mother Ye asked Mrs. Ye worriedly: "Are there any widows pestering Brother Shan in the village recently?"

"Some time ago, Widow Wang would go to the entrance of the village to block Shanzi from time to time. But Shanzi learned the lesson and bypassed the entrance of the village and came back from the back mountain. There were many people in the back mountain, and Widow Wang was too embarrassed to block Shanzi. But I don't think Shanzi has remarried. the meaning of."

Old Mrs. Ye added: "There are many people in the village who are eyeing Jing Xiaozi. I heard that there were matchmakers looking for Shanzi a few days ago, but they were all rejected by Shanzi."

"The nights are long and there are many dreams. I think it's better to settle things down for the two of them earlier." Mother Ye was quite satisfied with Tang Xiaojing, but she didn't want to be cut off by the people in the village.

Old Mrs. Ye was still able to keep her composure, "Jing Jing is capable, and he will definitely have a good life in the future. If he doesn't have this certainty, how can he entrust Qingqing to him."

"Wait patiently. I, Mr. Jing, really like Qingqing. It won't be long before he comes to propose marriage."

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing had just finished cooking when Tang Xiaojing came over with half a bucket of river clams.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing and said: "There are still a lot of snails in the river. It's a bit late today. I'll come back to touch some snails tomorrow."

After what Ye Mu said, Ye Qingqing was a little embarrassed to look at Tang Xiaojing and looked down at the small river clam in the bucket.

"What a plump river clam. You can eat it after just two days."

Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing didn't look at him for a long time, and said anxiously: "You like to eat it. I will go to the river in the valley to touch this thing in two days. Why bother with more."

Ye Qingqing held her hands tightly and asked softly, "Will it trouble you too much?"

Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing's small, white ears were slightly red, and he had a bold guess in his heart.

Immediately he said with a smile on his face: "No trouble, just eat if you like."

Ye Qingqing's face became hot, and she didn't dare to raise her little head.

Just when Ye Qingqing didn't know how to answer, Matchmaker Wang came to Ye's house again.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing were both at home, Mrs. Ye called Mother Ye and Matchmaker Wang into the house.

Matchmaker Wang has also been to the Tang family several times. Tang Xiaojing knew that she was a matchmaker, and she looked at Ye Qingqing for a while when she came in. Tang Xiaojing was a little nervous.

"There isn't much water in the water tank. I'll go to the backyard to fetch some water." Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xiaojing hurried to the backyard.

Ye Qingqing felt that Tang Xiaojing was a little strange. There was still more than half of the water in the water tank.

Before she could figure it out, two chubby little puppies were moaning and yelling at Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing looked down at the two little guys, and the two little guys also tilted their heads and stared blankly at Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing felt like her heart was melting as she hugged the two little furry guys and ravaged them.

Tang Xiaojing on the other side was not having it so easy. He was pretending to fetch water from the well with a bucket, but in fact he was paying attention to the situation in Mrs. Ye's house.

They were a bit far apart, and Tang Xiaojing could only barely hear the words Qingqing and Xiangkan.

Tang Xiaojing's heart sank, and he wished he could immediately ask Tangshan to come to the Ye family to propose marriage. Unfortunately, Tangshan was still in the county, so he could only be sulky with himself.

Tang Xiaojing didn't go out in the afternoon, so he waited at home for Tang Shan to come back.

Tangshan solicits customers in the town and county every day. The time when he comes back is different every day, but he always returns home to put away the ox cart before going to Ye's house for dinner.

It was quite early for Tang Shan to come back today. He didn't even take a sip of water when he came back and was hurriedly pulled into the house by Tang Xiaojing.

Tang Xiaojing was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said: "Wang Matchmaker went to Ye's house today, as if she wanted to show Qing Qing."

Tangshan saw his son's coquettish expression and knew that the boy had finally come to his senses, so he deliberately teased him:

"The boys are getting married when they are older, and the girls are getting married soon. Qingqing will be 13 years old soon, and her looks are normal. There are many people in this village who are looking at Qingqing. I heard from Matchmaker Wang that many people asked her to go to the Ye family. Say goodbye."

Tang Xiaojing was anxious, "I, I want to marry Qingqing."

"Okay."

Tang Xiaojing originally planned to say something to convince Tangshan, but he didn't expect that Tangshan agreed immediately and was blocked again as soon as the words came to his lips.

"I have long been optimistic about Qingqing's daughter-in-law. I didn't tell you before I saw that you were not yet enlightened."

"Now that you stupid boy has figured it out, I will talk to your Uncle Fengshou during dinner tonight and get you and Qingqing engaged as soon as possible."

Tang Xiaojing was overjoyed, and the smile on his face was a little dazzling, "Thank you, dad."

"Since moving back to Peach Blossom Village, how much money have you earned from selling medicinal materials and hunting animals?"

Tang Xiaojing looked at Tangshan with some confusion. He didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped to money?

Seeing Tang Xiaojing looking at him blankly, Tangshan explained patiently: "Qingqing is excellent both in appearance and character, and the Ye family is also a wealthy family in the village."

"Qingqing is also good at embroidery. I heard that one piece of embroidery can earn several taels, or even more than ten taels of silver."

"I don't know how many good men are staring at her in these ten miles and eight villages. If you don't have any real ability, why would your Uncle Fengshou be willing to marry your daughter to you?"

Tang Xiaojing felt that Tangshan's words made sense and thought carefully, "There are many medicinal herbs on Stone Mountain. I can earn three taels of silver every month by selling medicinal herbs. Plus the prey caught in the trap, what can I do in a month now?" You can also earn five or six taels of silver."

"It has been two and a half months since we moved back to the village. Excluding the half month of land reclamation, I have earned a total of ten taels of silver in these two months."

"We can harvest a crop of dendrobium every year on the mountain, and with the herbs I grow, I can still afford to support our family even if Qingqing doesn't make embroidery."

Tangshan patted his son on the shoulder and said cheerfully: "Good boy, with your words, I am sure to convince you, Uncle Fengshou."

Tangshan reminded his son again, "Your Uncle Fengshou and Aunt Ye, I and I have grown up together. You must not be sorry to Qingqing in the future, otherwise I will be embarrassed to see anyone."

Tang Xiaojing said unconvinced: "I am not a random person."

Tang Shan looked at Tang Xiaojing happily, "Bring all the good wine at home and have a drink with your Uncle Fengshou tonight."
