The happy little days of the Ye family

After returning from his house in Tangshan, Tang Xiaojing thought about it and felt that there seemed to be too much silver jewelry.

Although Ye Qingqing loves beauty, she doesn't like to wear expensive jewelry such as hairpins and bracelets when going out because she thinks it's too intrusive.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing is also afraid that the jewelry will be lost or robbed, after all, wealth is hidden.

Tang Xiaojing was sure that the Ye family would also prepare jewelry for Ye Qingqing as a dowry.

If he prepared four more pieces of silver jewelry, Ye Qingqing wouldn't be able to bring them over.

In fact, his betrothal gift is just a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet.

With the money he saved, he would add some more silver to buy a gold bracelet or a gold hairpin.

When marrying a wife in the village, the jewelry in the betrothal gift is all silver, but after all, there is no gold jewelry, which is beautiful and elegant.

In Tang Xiaojing's eyes, Ye Qingqing deserves better.

Ye Donglin's betrothal gift to Wang Chunyu included a pair of gold earrings.

Tang Xiaojing felt that the betrothal gift he prepared could not be worse than what Ye Donglin prepared, and he must have this gold jewelry.

There are families in the village that favor sons over daughters, and the bride price and betrothal gift given by the man are usually withheld and used for the boys in the family to find wives.

However, there are also many families who dote on their daughters, who not only ask the woman to take back the man's betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts, but also prepare a generous dowry.

For someone like Ye Qingqing who is favored by the whole family and can make money himself, the dowry prepared by the Ye family for Ye Qingqing will definitely be larger than Ye Donglin's betrothal gift.

Ye's father's accidental leak might not be really accidental, but could be a way of beating him up.

One tael of gold is equal to 10 taels of silver, and an ordinary silver bracelet or hairpin costs three to five taels of silver.

A piece of gold jewelry costs about 40 taels of silver, and Tang Xiaojing plans to take out another 50 taels himself.

If there is money left over, Tang Xiaojing plans to buy another pair of gold earrings for Ye Qingqing. The gold pendant on them is larger than the Ye family's.

What Wang Chunyu had, Ye Qingqing couldn't live without, and it had to be even better.

Besides, the Ye family also gave Ye Qingqing a house as a dowry. The house cost 100 taels anyway, and there was also land.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing has good embroidery skills, although he did not specifically inquire about the price of the embroidery products.

But after all, he grew up in the county, and he also knew that the ladies and ladies of the wealthy families liked embroidery, and the price was definitely not cheap.

The Tang family took advantage of him in being able to marry Ye Qingqing, so he deserved more betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts.

However, Tang Xiaojing did not plan to discuss the idea of ​​spending 50 taels of silver to buy gold jewelry with Tang Shan for the time being.

First of all, he is fully capable of paying for it himself. Secondly, there are still more than two years left until we get married, so it's a bit early to say it now.

I remember that when he and Qingqing first got engaged, their family only had Stone Mountain and a valley that had not yet been reclaimed.

Tangshan's savings over the years had been spent on buying a family property, and the father and son didn't have much money at the time.

At that time, he thought that saving 20 taels of silver would be enough to get married.

Unexpectedly, the Ye family and their family not only opened up 50 acres of paddy fields in the past three years, but also bought a house in the town.

The two families are living a prosperous life, and the expected betrothal gift has also increased.

Tang Xiaojing feels that the fields at home are now well taken care of, and the herbs he grows on the mountains can be harvested in large quantities starting this year.

Coupled with the rabbit shed and pig pen at the foot of the mountain, the family's life will get better and better.

The Ye family's situation is similar to theirs, and life will only get better and better.

When the two families' wealth increases, he will definitely increase the betrothal gift to Ye Qingqing.

Tang Xiaojing was thinking about the wonderful things of marrying Ye Qingqing, while the Ye family was busy growing bean sprouts.

Since Wang Chunyu gave birth to the first batch of bean sprouts, it was very popular with everyone, and then he gave birth to the second and third batches of bean sprouts.

All the large water tanks, wooden barrels, and wooden basins in the Ye family were used by Wang Chunyu to grow bean sprouts.

The second batch of bean sprouts filled two large water tanks, one with mung bean sprouts and the other with soybean sprouts.

This second batch of bean sprouts has been four days old. When Wang Chunyu changed the water, he found that the bean sprouts were almost as long as his index finger.

You can take it to the grocery store to sell it tomorrow. Two tanks of bean sprouts can probably be sold for two days.

The third batch of bean sprouts started growing two days later than the second batch, so it was just in time to add them.

Since bean sprouts were sold in the grocery store two days ago, women have been coming to the grocery store to ask when bean sprouts will be sold.

Ye Donglin felt that the bean sprouts made by Wang Chunyu were not enough to sell, so he brought back two large water tanks and several large clay pots from the grocery store yesterday.

It’s time to make the fourth batch of bean sprouts today.

Wang Chunyu counted the time and found that the fourth batch of bean sprouts would be ready two days before the first day of the Lunar New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, very few people set up stalls to sell vegetables, so everyone prepares more vegetables before the New Year and eats them during the Chinese New Year.

This batch of bean sprouts came at the right time. Wang Chunyu planned to bring Ye Donglin back. Two water tanks and four large clay pots were filled with bean sprouts.

Wang Chunyu couldn't do it alone, so Ye Qingqing, Ye Mu, and Mrs. Ye all came to help.

Wang Chunyu took out a dustpan of mung beans and a dustpan of soybeans, and explained carefully to Ye Qingqing and the others:

"The first step in making bean sprouts is to pick out the bad and particularly small beans, leaving only the good ones."

"The bean sprouts grown in this way will be neat and look better."

There are a lot of bean sprouts to be grown this time, so there are a lot of beans to choose from, but everyone is full of energy because they can make money.

Several people picked beans in the yard for nearly an hour before picking out all the bad beans and skinny beans.

Ye Donglin had already filled the water in the water tank before going out, and was just waiting for the beans to be soaked.

Before going to bed, Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin changed the water of the bean sprouts. At this time, the second batch of bean sprouts was already as long as a finger.

The bean sprouts in the water tank were white and fat. Wang Chunyu broke one with his hands. It was crisp and tender.

The bean sprouts grew very successfully this time. The young couple looked at the newly sprouted bean sprouts and felt happy.

Ye Donglin looked at Wang Chunyu and said cheerfully:

"I will take half of the bean sprouts to the grocery store tomorrow. There are not many fresh vegetables in winter. Today, several women came over and asked about the bean sprouts."

Although the women came here to ask about bean sprouts, the shop also had various groceries, grains, dry goods, and bacon.

After Ye Donglin's sharp tongue, these women all walked out of the grocery store with large and small bags when they returned.

The business of the grocery store has improved, and Ye Donglin has been cheerful these days, walking with a sense of wind.
