The happy little days of the Ye family

On the way back, Ye Qingqing was still in charge of driving the donkey cart.

Wang Chunyu deliberately sat outside with Ye Qingqing. Firstly, he was afraid that Ye Qingqing would be bored outside alone, and secondly, he wanted to know the way to the town again.

Luohe Town is a small town with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Wang Chunyu saw many hills and streams along the way, and the scenery was very beautiful.

Ye Qingqing turned to look at Wang Chunyu, "Sister-in-law, can you drive a donkey cart?"

"Yes, I have a donkey cart at home. I learned to drive the donkey cart when I was very young. I used to drive the donkey cart when I set up a stall in the county."

Ye Qingqing remembered that her elder brother said that her sister-in-law had set up a stall in the county to sell wooden gadgets, and she could also make wood carvings.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to continue making wood carvings and then set up a stall?"

Wang Chunyu nodded lightly, "Yes, there is nothing I need to do at home anyway, so I am idle."

"And I have liked wood carving since I was a child. It would be good to make some wooden hairpins and small puppets to earn some pocket money. I usually make wood carvings at home, and during big fairs I go to the town to set up a stall."

"Brother's grocery store sells small things like wood carvings and dolls. Sister-in-law, you can make them and sell them in the grocery store at home."

"Really?" Wang Chunyu looked at Ye Qingqing excitedly.

There are too many things in the grocery store. Chun Yu was just chatting with Ye Donglin and didn't really take a closer look at the things on the shelves.

It would be great if her wood carvings could be sold in a grocery store. It would not only save her the effort of setting up a stall, but also save the stall fee.

Ye Qingqing and Wang Chunyu were chatting happily outside the donkey cart, and Ye Mu and Chen Xiaoyun were also chatting enthusiastically inside the donkey cart.

Ye Mu and Yang Xinghua sat together, Chen Xiaoyun and Wang Duoduo sat together, and Wang Duoduo happened to be in front of Ye Mu.

In addition to doing embroidery, Wang Duoduo occasionally goes out to herd ducks, so she is not as fair and dewy as Ye Qingqing.

But she is much fairer than other girls in the village. What Ye Mu likes most is that Wang Duoduo has a tenacity in her body.

"Duoduo is getting better and better as she grows. Are you doing embroidery with me, Miss Xiaoyun, now?"

Mentioning her daughter, Chen Xiaoyun was in a very good mood and said with pride and joy:

"This girl is clumsy and can't compare with Qingqing. She usually makes simple embroidery such as handkerchiefs and purses, barely making ends meet."

Yang Xinghua knew that Ye Mu and the old lady were looking at each other for Ye Xilin recently. Ever since she saw Duoduo just now, Ye Mu had not taken her eyes away from the little girl.

Yang Xinghua is also a smart person, and she can guess Ye Mu's little thoughts at a glance.

"Xiaoyun, you are too humble. Duoduo's craftsmanship is much better than that girl of mine."

Yang Xinghua took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Ye Mu.

"This is the handkerchief Duoduo gave me last month. You did a good job in embroidery. Please give this girl some advice."

Ye Mu happily took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully. Her serious look made Wang Duoduo a little nervous.

"This handkerchief is quite well made. Duoduo is still young and should be able to do small embroidery in two years."

This handkerchief is worse than what Ye Qingqing made before, but it is much better than other little girls of the same age in the village.

The main reason is that Chen Xiaoyun and her daughter do not have a farm, so they do not have to do farm work and can concentrate on making embroidery at home.

Mother Ye thought the little girl's embroidery was pretty good, "Is Duoduo 11 or 12 years old now?"

"I just turned 12 years old two months ago."

Chen Xiaoyun has not yet noticed Ye Mu's intention.

The smile on Mother Ye's face became even brighter, "That one is only one and a half years younger than our Xilin."

Wang Duoduo had just turned 12 years old. Mother Ye looked directly at Wang Duoduo. Chen Xiaoyun thought it was too long since they had seen each other and didn't think about it that way.

It wasn't until Ye Mu mentioned Ye Xilin that Chen Xiaoyun suddenly realized that Ye Mu had taken a liking to their family Duo Duo.

However, Ye Mu did not make it clear, and she was probably still in the consideration stage, and Chen Xiaoyun also needed time to inquire about Ye Xilin.

Chen Xiaoyun bought the small house at the entrance of the village last year and found someone to renovate the house.

Ye Qingqing sent mother and daughter back first. Yang Xinghua said she wanted to see Chen Xiaoyun for something, and got off the bus together at the entrance of the village.

After getting off the donkey cart, Yang Xinghua pulled Chen Xiaoyun into the house, and then sent Wang Duoduo out to let the ducks go outside.

Yang Xinghua took Chen Xiaoyun's hand and said excitedly:

"Sister Xiaoyun, the Ye family is the best family in the village. The Xilin pigs are well raised and have good character. You must seize the opportunity."

"You know everyone in the Ye family. They are all kind-hearted people. The family has land and business. If Duoduo marries her, she will live a comfortable life in the future."

The village chief has good relations with the Ye family, and Yang Xinghua is also very familiar with the Ye family.

If Ye Donglin hadn't gotten engaged early and Ye Xilin was too young, Yang Xinghua would have wanted to marry her niece to the Ye family.

"The Ye family's family background is very good. Our family is, to put it mildly, poor. The gap is too big."

Chen Xiaoyun is still self-aware. Mother and daughter fled the famine and settled in Taohua Village. The family is small and she will be a drag in the future.

Most people would probably look down on their family, let alone someone as popular as the Ye family.

"Then Wang Chunyu's family background is average. She is still the daughter-in-law of the Ye family. I don't think the Ye family pays much attention to their family background."

Regardless of their family background, Ye Xilinlin and Wang Duoduo are a good match, and Yang Xinghua is very optimistic about them.

"Both the Wang family and his son are doing carpentry in the county, and the family has fields and donkey carts. The family's financial situation is already very good, and our family cannot compare." Chen Xiaoyun still shook his head.

Yang Xinghua persuaded again: "I know you want to find a son-in-law for Duoduo, but there is no man with good character who is willing to be a son-in-law."

"It will be different when you marry into the Ye family. Xilin has the skills of raising pigs and can also deliver sows. He comes from a good family and has skills. Duoduo's life will be the same in the future."

"And they are all in the same village. If you miss your daughter first, you can see her just by raising your feet."

Chen Xiaoyun was persuaded by Yang Xinghua. Although their family's family background was a bit poor, Duoduo was good-looking and her embroidery work was not bad.

"I heard that families with daughters in the village are all looking at the Ye family. Can the Ye family like our Duoduo?" Chen Xiaoyun still lacks confidence.

Although Chen Xiaoyun thinks that his daughter is the best, from the perspective of outsiders, Wang Duoduo's shortcomings are more obvious than her advantages.

"The head of the Ye family is still Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye has a vicious eye. If Duoduo can catch Mrs. Ye's eyes, the marriage will be stable."

Yang Xinghua suggested again: "Didn't Xiu Xiu praise Duo Duo for her good embroidery just now? You can bring Duo Duo to the house to learn her embroidery skills and take the opportunity to get in touch with more people from the Ye family."

"You just came here to ask for advice on embroidery skills. Even if the marriage doesn't happen, it won't affect Duoduo's reputation."

"Sister Xinghua, you still have a way. Duoduo's best skill is this embroidery skill."

The village chief's family owns a donkey cart, and the embroidery works of Yang Xinghua, Chen Xiaoyun, and Wang Duoduo are regularly sold to the county embroidery workshop.

Wang Duoduo can now earn several hundred cash a month by making handkerchiefs, which is almost as much as an adult man's salary.

In two years, when Wang Duoduo's embroidery skills get better, she will be able to make small embroidery pictures. At that time, it will be no problem to earn one or two taels of silver a month.

Although Wang Duoduo's family background is not good, she is good enough, otherwise Yang Xinghua would not want to marry her home as her daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Yang Xinghua is still very optimistic about Ye Xilin and Wang Duoduo.
