The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Donglin put the donkey cart away and took the donkey back to the donkey shed in the backyard.

There was no donkey shed at home originally. After buying the first donkey, Mr. Ye used the firewood shed as a donkey shed.

Later, the family bought a second donkey. Mr. Ye and his father demolished the old donkey shed and built a new spacious donkey shed.

The items for tomorrow's stall will be left on the donkey cart, and Ye Donglin will take the gifts he bought off the cart.

Mrs. Ye was a little strange when she saw Ye Donglin holding large and small bags of things.

"Didn't you say you wanted to save money to buy a donkey? Why did you buy so many things?"

In order to buy a donkey as soon as possible, Ye Donglin is usually very frugal and rarely buys so many things like today.

Ye Donglin scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I have been setting up a stall at the dock for four or five months, and I have saved some money."

"I just remembered that I haven't bought anything for my family yet, so I went to the county to buy some gifts for everyone today."

Ye Donglin took out two wooden hairpins and gave them to Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye respectively.

It was the first time for Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye to receive something from Ye Donglin. Their eyes were a little moist while holding the hairpin.

Seeing their eyes wet, Ye Donglin said with a smile, "Help the two ladies put on their hairpins."

Ye Donglin took the hairpin from Mrs. Ye's hand and gently inserted it into Mrs. Ye's already gray hair bun. Then he helped Ye Mu put on the orchid hairpin.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law happily praised Ye Donglin for his filial piety, and then happily ran back to the house to look in the mirror.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin on the side opened their palms to Ye Donglin and looked at Ye Donglin expectantly.

On a whim, Ye Donglin deliberately said that he had not prepared for the two of them.

Ye Xilin climbed onto Ye Donglin's back like a little monkey, and grabbed Ye Donglin's ears with his small hands. "I'll give you another chance. Do you have one?"

Ye Donglin shouted with a smile that it hurt, and patted Ye Xilin's little butt twice with the hand holding the candy bar.

Ye Qingqing also stepped forward to scratch the soft flesh on Ye Donglin's waist. While tickling Ye Donglin, he asked, "Where is my gift?"

Ye Donglin laughed so hard that he was out of breath, but he didn't dare to throw Ye Xilin off his back, and was attacked from both sides.

Behind him, Tang Xiaojing was eating duck feet and looking happily at the three people making a mess.

Xiao Huang happily gnawed the duck bones at Tang Xiaojing's feet, while Da Huang excitedly joined Ye Qingqing and the others.

Rhubarb jumped up and down and pounced on several people's feet.

"It's itchy, it's itchy, Qingqing, stop it. Ye Xilin, if you don't come down, the candy man bought for you will be confiscated." In the end, Ye Donglin was defeated and raised his hands to beg for mercy.

Ye Qingqing saw Ye Donglin laughing so hard that he was out of breath, and was afraid that he would drop the wine jar in his hand, so he stopped.

Seeing Ye Qingqing stop, Ye Xilin slid off Ye Donglin's back neatly.

Ye Donglin placed the wine jar on the stone table in the courtyard, then turned around and flicked Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin's heads.

Ye Donglin was reluctant to exert any force, and Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin happily stretched out their hands towards Ye Donglin.

Ye Donglin gave the two puppy dolls to Ye Qingqing, the candy man and the candy bar to Ye Xilin, and stuffed the remaining pastries into Tang Xiaojing's arms.

Tang Xiaojing didn't expect that there was still one from him, so he happily took it.

Ye Qingqing looked at the puppy doll, then at Dahuang and Xiaohuang, and said with a smile: "They look a lot like Dahuang and Xiaohuang, thank you, brother."

Ye Xilin is a monkey, so Ye Donglin specially picked a monkey-shaped candy man. Ye Xilin was very happy to hold the candy man.

Ye Xilin generously grabbed a handful of candy bars for Ye Donglin and Ye Qingqing. Then he looked at Tang Xiaojing and grabbed half a handful of candy bars for him with pain.

The three of them laughed out loud at Ye Xilin's painful expression.

Ye Xilin was a little annoyed by the laughter, and ran back to the house with the candy man and the candy bar.

Ye Qingqing laughed so hard that tears came out. She smiled calmly and said, "Xilin is so cute."

Ye Donglin ate a piece of candy that Ye Xilin just gave him. It was quite sweet.

Ye Donglin took the wine on the stone table and happily carried the wine jar to find Ye's father and Mr. Ye.

Tang Xiaojing said enviously: "The relationship between you brothers and sisters is really good."

Ye Qingqing also ate a candy and said proudly: "Of course."

Then Ye Qingqing thought that Aunt Tang was gone, and only Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan were left in the Tang family to depend on each other.

Ye Qingqing stuffed a candy into Tang Xiaojing's mouth, looked at Tang Xiaojing and said with a smile, "We are your family too."

Tang Xiaojing felt an indescribable joy and excitement in his heart. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was holding Ye Qingqing's delicate little hand tightly.

Tang Xiaojing was about to say something, but Ye Xilin, who came over at some point, passed between the two of them and separated them abruptly.

Ye Xilin pulled Ye Qingqing's sleeve and pulled Ye Qingqing aside.

"Mom asked me to invite you to dinner." Then he glared at Tang Xiaojing unkindly.

Tang Xiaojing smiled awkwardly and followed the siblings silently.

The dinner was very sumptuous, including rabbit stewed with dried beans, rabbit stewed with potatoes, eggplant salad and stir-fried sweet potato leaves.

Mr. Ye, Father Ye and Tang Shan were already drinking. Dahuang and Xiaohuang were also squatting at the table eagerly, drooling all over the floor.

Ye Mu's cooking skills were as good as ever. All the meals were eaten cleanly, even the gravy was eaten by Ye Donglin and Tang Xiaojing.

The gravy was eaten up by Ye Donglin and Tang Xiaojing, while Dahuang and Xiaohuang could only eat vegetable soup and rice pitifully.

Today it happened to be Ye Xilin's turn to wash the dishes, and Tang Xiaojing, who had just been caught, wanted to please his brother-in-law.

He got up very actively and helped clear the table. After clearing it, he rushed to wash the dishes.

Ye Xilin didn't say anything, but he didn't reject Tang Xiaojing either.

He wasn't actually angry, but he just hadn't realized that Ye Qingqing was already engaged.

In the evening, Ye Qingqing returned to the room after washing up and saw Ye Xilin sitting on a stool, playing with his hair in boredom.

Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Xilin and asked, "Xiao Xilin, why are you in my room?"

Ye Xilin blushed and said incoherently: "If he dares to bully you in the future, my eldest brother and dad will break his legs together."

Before Ye Qingqing could react, Ye Xilin ran away in a hurry.

Ye Qingqing smiled and said: "I spent so much pocket money, but my love for you is not in vain."

At the end of the year, Ye Xilin is going to set up a stall to sell red dates, and Ye Qingqing plans to make him a new big purse to hold money tomorrow.

"Brother's wallet has been used for a long time. Let's make a new one."

Ye Qingqing brightened the candles in the room, then rummaged through the cabinet, and finally selected a piece of dark blue linen fabric.

Ye Qingqing held the fabric close to the candle and looked through it, and finally decided to use this fabric as a purse.

"The color is nice. If you use silver silk thread to embroider a few silver ingots, it will be even better."
