The happy little days of the Ye family

It took an hour to return to Taohua Village from the valley. When he returned to the village, Ye Qingqing's clothes were already dry.

The three of them were delayed a lot of time because they picked mushrooms and cooked roasted chicken and rabbit in Rabbit Mountain in the morning, so they came back a little late.

On the road, I met many people who had just returned from hard work in the fields. Some people rolled up their trouser legs and carried hoes, some carried firewood back, and there were groups of children carrying pigweed on their backs.

As soon as I entered the village, I heard several women calling at the top of their voices to their children to go home for dinner.

Then several smiling and energetic voices came from different places.

When passing by Chen Xiaoyun's house, Ye Qingqing saw through the open door that mother and daughter were talking and laughing in the yard, watering the sweet potato seedlings that had just grown.

The sweet potato seedlings grew lush and lush under the careful care of the mother and daughter.

At this time, every household was eating, the village was filled with the aroma of food, and occasionally the noisy voices of children could be heard.

"Xiao Zhuzi's family made braised loach, but it doesn't smell as good as my mother's."

"I smell the smell of plain-cut chicken. The food at the village chief's house is good."

"Sweet potato porridge, Shitou's fucking cooking skills are really bad."

Every time he passed a house, Ye Xilin could tell what kind of food the house had, and told Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing that they were hungry along the way.

Tang Xiaojing drove the oxcart directly to Ye's house. As soon as Ye Qingqing entered the door, he smelled the smell of baked eel rice, which is Ye Mu's specialty.

"Gulu gulu" Ye Qingqing's stomach rang.

Ye Xilin jumped off the bullock cart, sniffed vigorously, and said with a smile:

"It smells so good. Mom must have made it and braised the loach."

Mother Ye happened to come out of the kitchen and happened to hear Ye Xilin's words. She smiled and tapped Ye Xilin's little nose:

"As expected of a dog, you have a pretty good nose."

Ye Qingqing nimbly jumped off the donkey cart and unloaded most of the basketful of mushrooms from the ox cart.

"Mom, we also picked a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. Let's fry some mushrooms tonight."

It hasn't rained much recently and there are fewer mushrooms. It's been a long time since I've eaten bacon and fried mushrooms, and Ye Qingqing is a little greedy.

Ye Mu took the basket from Ye Qingqing's hand and looked at the plump mushrooms inside with a smile.

"Okay, your father, your grandpa, and your mother went to the fields to fertilize. I guess they won't be back soon. In addition to frying bacon and mushrooms, I'll make some mushroom soup."

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Xilin moved the hares, snails and river clams from the ox cart.

Mother Ye looked at the things that the two had moved down and said cheerfully: "There are so many good things. It's a good harvest today."

Then Ye Mu began to direct the two of them, "Xilin, take these small river clams and snails to the backyard and raise them."

"Xiao Jing, let's make these rabbits into wax rabbits. The autumn harvest will be in two months, so we can just save them for the autumn harvest."

During the autumn harvest, the long-term workers all eat together, and they consume a lot of food and meat every day. With this batch of bacon rabbits, there is no need to worry about running out of meat during the autumn harvest.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, I'll kill the rabbit right away."

Tang Xiaojing learned how to make stewed rice from Ye Mu. During the summer harvest, Tang Xiaojing cooked for the long-term workers at home.

Tang Xiaojing thought that he would continue to make various kinds of stewed rice during the autumn harvest, and planned to hunt more hares and pheasants to make bacon during this period.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Xilin carried everything to the backyard, and Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing followed behind carrying mushrooms.

At this time, Ye Donglin happened to be in the backyard, washing things from Ye's father's braised pork stall.

Ye Donglin was washing a large iron pot, with many washed dishes and chopsticks placed beside him.

"It's already dark, why did you come back so late?"

Ye Donglin glared at Ye Qingqing, who was still laughing and joking. They were not married yet, so why didn't they know how to avoid suspicion.

"I picked some mushrooms on the mountain and came back late." Ye Qingqing said obediently when she saw Ye Donglin's cold face.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing was still there, Ye Donglin didn't say anything further.

Tang Xiaojing dumped all the hares in the basket. Ye Donglin felt a little pity when he saw so many rabbits.

"There are so many rabbits. It's a pity that we came back a little late. Otherwise, it would be great to sell them in the town or county."

Tang Xiaojing felt that his brother-in-law had a problem with him.

Ye Mu on the side came to the rescue and said: "The autumn harvest will be here soon. This rabbit is made into a wax rabbit, and there will be more vegetables during the autumn harvest."

Ye Mu has already prepared the meal. Mushroom Ye Mu plans to simply make a plate of fried mushrooms with bacon and mushroom soup, and save the rest for tomorrow.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing moved quickly and cleaned the mushrooms in a short time. The mother and daughter went to the kitchen to cook, leaving the three teenagers killing rabbits in the backyard.

When it was completely dark, Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye and Father Ye came back from the fields.

Ye Qingqing was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. When she saw Father Ye and the others coming back, she quickly cleared the table and arranged the meal.

The meal in the evening was very sumptuous, including stewed eel with rice, braised loach, stir-fried vegetables, bacon, stir-fried mushrooms and mushroom soup.

Moreover, Ye Mu deliberately did not put sweet potatoes in the stewed eel rice. It is pure rice dry rice. Ye Qingqing can eat three big bowls of it without eating vegetables.

Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye had bad teeth, so they ate the soft rice on top.

Father Ye and Ye Qingqing, who have good teeth, rushed to eat the crispy rice below.

When cooking, Ye Mu left a lot of charcoal fire in the stove. The crispy rice was baked until it was golden and crispy, and there was also the aroma of eel meat in it, which was more delicious than the rice in eel stew.

Ye Xilin and Ye Donglin almost fought over the last piece of rice cake.

In the end, Father Ye held the two of them down and put the rice cake into his own bowl. The two brothers dared not speak out in anger.

Ye Qingqing's favorite thing is to eat fried mushrooms with bacon. She eats fried mushrooms with one bite of rice cake, and Ye Qingqing's belly bulges out from the food.

It is said that you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and you rely on the water to eat the water. This is absolutely true.

Eels and loaches are caught in the fields, mushrooms are picked from the mountains, and even the rice and bacon are made from home-grown rice and pigs.

To be honest, Tang Xiaojing actually liked life in the village.

Although life in the village is more difficult than in the county, and people have to work in the fields.

But the people in the village are simple and enthusiastic, with a kind of fireworks atmosphere that is not found in the county.

The most important thing is that Tang Xiaojing really likes the atmosphere of the Ye family, and there is also a Ye Qingqing in the Ye family.

In fact, the Tang family and his son had been dining together at Ye's house for a long time, and there was a lot of gossip in the village.

The most talked about thing is that Tang Xiaojing is the Ye family's son-in-law, but neither Tang Shan nor Tang Xiaojing paid attention to it.

He is not stupid either. How could he alienate such a wonderful family just because of other people's gossip.

As for Tangshan, he has been bribed by Ye's mother's food, and he wishes he could eat with Ye's family all the time in the future.

The father and son are still relatively well-off, not inferior to the Ye family, so they don't take these rumors in the village to heart.

After dinner, Mr. Ye served some sweet potato porridge to Rhubarb, Xiaohuang and the five puppies at home.

Today, Ye Mu is making stewed eel rice, and it is pure rice. The portion of the rice is not much, just enough for home consumption.

So Ye Mu specially cooked a pot of thicker sweet potato porridge and added some mushroom soup to it for the little ones to eat.

Rhubarb and Xiaohuang had big appetites. Even though they were full on the mountain, they happily ate another meal after returning to Ye's house.
