The happy little days of the Ye family

During the past few days of treasure hunting at the old house, neither Ye Mu nor Ye Qingqing had touched embroidery. Today they finally had free time, and Ye Qingqing was detained by Ye Mu at home to do embroidery.

Ye Xilin was too noisy and was sent out by Ye's mother to play with friends in the village.

Ye Qingqing is making a large embroidery picture, which is embroidered with the pattern of a fish leaping over a dragon gate. Whether it is silk or needlework, they are all of the highest quality.

Although Ye Qingqing is out-tempered and lively, she really likes to do embroidery and has talent in this area. Nowadays, she can also make large-scale embroidery in a stylish way.

Mother Ye was very pleased to see that Ye Qingqing had already done less than half of the embroidery work. Her daughter's talent seemed to be better than hers, and after two more years of training, she would definitely be able to surpass her in embroidery work.

However, Ye Qingqing's embroidery skills are constantly improving, and her embroidery skills are not stagnant. With her daughter chasing after her, Ye's mother is also very motivated to start embroidery.

If Mother Ye had had this drive when she was young, Grandma Ye would probably have woken up laughing in her dreams.

Old Mrs. Ye was cleaning the pig pen that had been idle for a long time in the backyard. Aunt Liu's piglet was almost a month old and could be taken home to raise in the next two days.

Last year, all the pigs raised at home were made into bacon, and they made a lot of money. When Mrs. Ye looked at the pig pen, she thought of the money, and she felt very good.

Mrs. Ye had just finished cleaning the two pig pens when Ye Xilin came running over.

Ye Xilin ran so fast that he was sweating profusely and out of breath.

Old Mrs. Ye scolded in a low voice, "Slow down, slow down, I can't run. Why are you in a hurry? Speak calmly first and then speak slowly."

"Milk, Aunt Liu said that their piggy is one month old and asked us to go to Liu's house to catch the piggy."

Old Mrs. Ye quickly walked to the side of the pool and washed her hands, "I ordered 8 piglets from Liu's house years ago, and I can finally take them back."

Mrs. Ye said as she walked out: "Your father and your grandfather are not at home now. Let's take the things to pick out the piglets first, and then transport them back when they come back."

"Xilin, hurry up and catch up, don't get robbed." Looking at Ye Xilin who was still slow, Mrs. Ye urged anxiously.

Nowadays, every household in the village is busy clearing wasteland. The fertility of the wasteland is insufficient. Everyone is very short of fertilizer and want to raise more pigs.

However, there are not many people raising sows in the village, and there are simply not enough piglets to divide the piglets. Aunt Liu's piglets are particularly popular.

Old Mrs. Ye thought that Aunt Liu liked to eat their homemade bacon, so she went back to the house and took a small piece of bacon before going out.

Mrs. Ye carried the bacon and Ye Xilin to Liu's house in a hurry.

The Liu family's piggies are just one month old. They are all chubby and round, and they look very cute and adorable.

The Liu family now has three sows that give birth to piglets. One is an old sow that has been raised for many years. It gave birth to 10 piglets years ago. The eight piglets that Ye Jiading gave birth to were from this sow.

The other two sows were newly raised last year and had just given birth to piglets a few days ago. Because they gave birth to not many piglets in their first litter, one gave birth to 5 piglets and the other gave birth to 6 piglets.

21 piglets, just selling the piglets would make a lot of money.

Aunt Liu's husband died when she was young, leaving only one son to depend on him. She relied on the sows raised at home to sell piglets to support the mother and son.

The Liu family was short of labor and originally only raised one sow. Father Ye reminded Aunt Liu that she could harvest more pigweed and dry it in the spring and summer when there was a lot of pigweed.

Save the dried pigweed to feed the pigs in the winter, so you don't have to worry about running out of things to feed the pigs in the winter.

Sows can give birth to two litters a year, and each litter can give birth to 6-10 piglets. In the beginning of this spring, the Liu family's three sows gave birth to a total of 21 piglets, which together can be sold for more than four taels of silver.

During this time, the Liu family was very happy. Looking at these sows was like seeing silver, and they took care of them even more carefully.

When Aunt Liu saw Mrs. Ye bringing a piece of bacon over, the smile on her face became even brighter.

He took the bacon in one hand and held Old Mrs. Ye's hand in his, "Aunt Ye, you are so polite. I promised to leave you 8 piglets. Don't worry, I will keep them all for you."

"Thanks to Fengsheng's idea, otherwise we wouldn't be able to raise so many pigs."

"The sow at home gave birth to 10 piglets years ago. Two of them were originally reserved for my parents, but they suddenly said they would no longer raise them. There are two extra piglets. Do you want them?"

The pigs raised at home last year made a lot of money. Mrs. Ye looked at these chubby little piglets as if she saw money.

He quickly agreed, fearing that it would be too late, and gave the two little piglets to others, "I want what I want. I have two pig pens at home, just enough to raise them."

Aunt Liu said cheerfully: "My pigs are well raised. We usually sell them for 210 yuan each. This time, thanks to Feng Shuang's idea, we raised two more sows this year."

"I'm also hoping for a good harvest. Let's pay 10 for each of these 200 piggies."

The piglets in the nearby Shilibaxiang are 200 cents each, but the piglets at Aunt Liu's house are well-raised, and even if they cost 10 cents, people in the village are rushing to get them.

If the Liu family wants to charge less, Mrs. Ye will naturally not refuse to agree. One is 10 cents cheaper, which can save 100 cents. This is enough to buy seven or eight kilograms of meat.

The little piglet, which was just one month old, was round, pink and tender and very cute. Ye Xilin played with the little piglet with a few pigweeds.

Ye Xilin counted the piglets in the Liu family. There were 21 piglets in the three litters. They were all sold for 210 cents each, which was 4 taels and 410 cents.

Ye Xilin calculated in his mind that sows can give birth to two babies a year, which means that the Liu family can earn more than ninety taels of silver a year just from these three sows.

Ye Xilin was shocked. He didn't expect that raising sows was so profitable, even more profitable than the big pigs they raised.

However, the Liu family still raises too few pigs. Raising one pig is just raising them, and raising 10 pigs is also raising them. It is better to raise more.

Ye Xilin thought this in his heart and told Aunt Liu directly, "I heard from friends in the village that many people have not found pig seedlings. Aunt Liu, your family can raise more sows."

"If you raise one, you need to raise it. If you raise 10, you need to raise it. The care is about the same."

Aunt Liu smiled and said: "I would like to raise more, but you, Brother Liu and Sister-in-law Liu, and I just can't support you at home."

"Last year, we could still hire some people from the village to help cut pig grass and dry it in the sun. Now every household is busy clearing land, and we can't hire anyone anymore."

Ye Xilin's head was spinning rapidly, and he immediately thought, "If we can't invite adults, we still have children. All the children in the village are idle."

Aunt Liu clapped her thighs very happily, "You are so smart. Like your father, you will be someone who will do great things in the future."

Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Xilin's proud look and smiled: "This monkey is very naughty. If you praise him any more, his tail will go up to the sky."

When Mrs. Ye went out, she brought the money to buy the piglets, 200 cents each, 10 of them totaling [-] taels of silver.

Mrs. Ye, Ye Xilin and Aunt Liu, together they put the 10 piglets into several large bamboo baskets that Mrs. Ye brought over.

Mrs. Ye was very happy to see these piglets and happily gave Aunt Liu two taels of silver.
