The happy little days of the Ye family

Father Ye usually gets up early when cooking braised pork. Father Ye has already gotten up before the big rooster at home starts to crow.

The sky was still gray at this time, and the rest of the Ye family were still asleep. Only Hongshu and Xueqiu heard the noise and ran towards Ye's father wagging their tails.

The family's five wolfdogs, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hua and Long Yan, were placed at the foot of Xiaohou Mountain to guard the pig pen and rabbit shed.

Sweet potatoes and snowballs stayed at home to look after the house.

The homestead next door is connected to the Ye family, so when building the pig pen next door, Mr. Ye specially connected the fence next door to the Ye family and opened a door in the middle.

In this way, the Ye family and the pig pen next door can enter and exit freely. At night, Sweet Potato and Xueqiu will guard the pig pen there.

Father Ye rubbed the two little guys' big plush heads. Sweet Potato's tail waggled more cheerfully. Snowball, who liked to act like a baby, lay down and exposed his belly to Father Ye.

Father Ye rubbed Xueqiu's soft belly and entered the kitchen in a good mood.

When Mr. Ye came over last night, his father had already prepared today’s braised pork in advance.

The meat has been braised, and Father Ye plans to ask Ye Donglin to take the braised meat to the dock and sell it together.

Wang Lin's tea and pastry stall has long been integrated with Ye's father's and Ye Donglin's stalls. Now that the braised pork stall's business is not going well, it's not a big problem for the two of them to take care of three stalls.

However, Father Ye was afraid that the two boys would be too busy, so he planned to let Ye Donglin take most of the braised pork there, and leave the remaining half at home to eat.

As soon as Father Ye reheated the braised pork, Mrs. Ye and Ye Xilin also got up.

Now the Ye family has 10 sows and two litters of newly born piglets. They need to eat a lot of pig food every day. Ye Xilin cooks four large pots of pig food every day.

Mrs. Ye saw that there was a lot of braised pork at home, so she simply made braised pork noodles in the morning.

The noodles are made by Ye's father. Ye's father is very strong and the noodles are very chewy and chewy.

With braised eggs and pig meat full of soup, plus a big spoonful of old marinated sauce, everyone was very satisfied with today's breakfast.

After breakfast, Father Ye and Mr. Ye went out with their bellies puffed up.

Master Fang's home was on the outskirts of the town. This was the first time for the father and son to go there. They found Master Fang's home after asking many questions on the way.

The door of Fang's house was open, and Father Ye parked the donkey cart at the door.

After entering the yard, seeing no one there, Father Ye shouted twice, "Master Fang, is Master Fang at home?"

Hearing the movement in the front yard, a well-dressed woman came out immediately. The woman looked to be in her 30s, and she should be Master Fang's daughter-in-law.

The woman stepped forward with a smile and said, "Are you two going to build a house?"

Father Ye first revealed his family, "Hello, sister-in-law, we are from Taohua Village, our surname is Ye."

"Our family is going to build two houses in the town, with front pavilion and back house. I wonder if Master Fang Linfang is at home?"

"You two came by chance. Someone called our old man out just now. He left in a hurry and didn't say when he would be back."

Father Ye and Mr. Ye frowned, not expecting that their trip would be in vain.

Sister-in-law Fang was very enthusiastic and invited Father Ye and Mr. Ye to sit in the house.

"I have some drawings of a house at home. Would you like to take a look at it first and decide what kind of house to build? When Lao Fang comes back, you can discuss the price."

Father Ye and Mr. Ye were very happy to hear that there were ready-made house styles to choose from.

Sister-in-law Fang invited the father and son into the living room, and then took out several drawings from the cabinet on the side.

The drawings that Sister-in-law Fang took were all in the style of the front shop and the back house. There were six styles in total. Father Ye and Mr. Ye were dazzled when they saw them.

The father and son looked left and right, and felt that these styles were pretty good, but they didn't feel particularly good about them, and there was nothing they could choose at first glance.

Seeing that the two could not choose, Sister-in-law Fang directly asked about the situation of the homestead:

"What is the shape of the homestead? Is it square? Or elongated? Or is it irregular?"

"Both homesteads are square and square, but the side along the street is a little longer." Mr. Ye is familiar with the old house.

"The longer side along the street would be just right. The shop in front of the house can be built larger."

The woman asked again: "I wonder where the house will be built? Will the house be lived in by the family, or will it be sold or rented in the future?"

Mr. Ye answered one by one: "The two homesteads are connected together, just near the academy, about five or six hundred meters away from the academy."

"We plan to use the two shops in front for our own use, and we want to make the shops as big as possible."

"The house at the back is intended to be rented to nearby scholars who are studying in the academy. I want the house to be built to be elegant and beautiful."

"When you say that, I know where the homestead is. This location is really good."

"Although the house is not at the end of an alley, there are many people living there, and they are scholars. They have a little money, and the shop in front is really good for doing business."

According to the request of the father and son, Sister-in-law Fang helped select two styles.

"Your homestead is quite large, and the side along the street is relatively long, so these two models are quite suitable."

Sister-in-law Fang pointed to one of them and said: "The house in front can actually be made into two smaller shops, each one about 20 square meters."

Mr. Ye shook his head, "This is too small. Our family is planning to open a braised meat shop and a grocery store."

Seeing that the father and son were not satisfied with the drawing, Sister-in-law Fang brought out another drawing.

"Then look at this picture. There is a large shop of more than 40 square meters in the front, and the house in the back is not small. It can build 4 main rooms and 4 side rooms. The front and back yards are reasonably distributed, making it comfortable to look at."

Father Ye and Mr. Ye think the second drawing is good.

The three of them chatted for a long time before Master Fang came back from outside.

Master Fang was very happy when he knew that the Ye family wanted to knock down the old house next to the academy and rebuild it. This was a big project.

Master Fang was also familiar with that old house. He had previously thought of buying it and building his own house.

It's a pity that it was a step too late. I came back to discuss it with my wife, but when I went there, I was told that it had been bought.

It turned out to be bought by the Ye family.

After understanding the Ye family's requirements for the house, Master Fang looked at the drawings selected by Father Ye and Mr. Ye.

Master Fang frowned, pointed to the house in the back and said, "The big shop in the front is totally fine, but I think the house in the back is a bit uninteresting."

Then Master Fang stood up and selected on the cabinet for a while, then brought over a drawing of the house.

"Since you plan to rent this house to college students, I think those scholars will like this style better."

Father Ye and Mr. Ye picked up the drawings. The layout of this house was somewhat like the house that was given to Ye Qingqing as a dowry.

The house has 4 main rooms and 2 side rooms, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom.

There is a small pavilion in the front yard, and there is a stone road from the door to the hall. The eaves are the eaves corridors that are very popular in the town recently.

And there are several flower beds in the front and back yards where you can grow flowers.

It does look much more refined and elegant, but it has a pavilion and a waterproof eaves corridor. There is also a stone road in the yard. Mr. Ye estimates that this house is not cheap.

"Master Fang, I wonder how much money it costs to build a house in these two styles?" Mr. Ye was a little worried that he didn't have enough money.
