The happy little days of the Ye family

The second day of junior high school was the day to return to her parents' home. Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu got up early.

As a courtesy to her parents' family, Ye's mother prepared the same thing for herself and Wang Chunyu, a big pig leg and a live hen.

This etiquette is very respectable, but the pigs and chickens are raised by the family without spending any money. Mrs. Ye is very satisfied.

Wangjiacun is relatively far from Taohua Village. Just after breakfast, Wang Chunyu hurriedly took Ye Donglin out and returned to Wangjiacun.

Ye's mother's natal family is in Taohua Village, and it's only separated by a few alleys. Ye's mother is in no hurry to go out.

Mother Ye and Ye Qingqing dressed up slowly, and when Father Ye and Ye Xilin looked at the autumn water and were almost numb from waiting, they finally went out.

Ye's mother and Ye Qingqing both changed into newly made clothes, and rarely brought valuable jewelry bought by Ye's father.

Ye Qingqing wore a colorful headband made by Mrs. Ye, earrings given by Tang Xiaojing on her ears, and a silver bracelet bought for her by her father.

Ye Qingqing was already pretty and cute, but after dressing up, she looked like a slim little beauty.

Mother Ye not only wore silver earrings, silver bracelets, but also a delicate silver hairpin on her head. She looked beautiful and noble.

The second day of junior high school is the day to return to her parents' home. Ye's mother returns to her parents' home in the morning every year. In order to stagger the time, the second aunt usually goes back to Lijiacun in the afternoon.

However, Lijia Village is not far from Taohua Village, and it only takes two-quarters of an hour to drive a donkey cart.

The Ye family is close, and Grandma Ye and the others have been waiting at home for a long time. After waiting for a long time, they did not see Mother Ye and the others coming, so they dispersed to do various things.

As soon as Ye's mother returned to her parents' home, she was told by Grandma Ye.

"You go back to your parents' house eight times if not ten times a month. Why are you packing up so grandly? You are not afraid of losing your jewelry."

"It's just a few steps, you can't lose it." Mother Ye held Grandma Ye's hand and said with a smile.

Grandma Ye looked at Ye Qingqing lovingly.

"Qingqing is a big girl now, so she should dress up properly. She looks so beautiful today, and she's taking advantage of that boy from the Tang family."

Father Ye felt uncomfortable when he thought about his daughter getting married when she grew up, "I'm taking advantage of that brat. The reason why I can marry Qingqing is because the ancestral graves of their Tang family are smoking."

Ye's mother pinched Ye's father's arm and said, "Okay, the Tang family is next door to the Ye family. There is only a wall between them. From now on, you can stand in the backyard and chat with Qingqing."

The second aunt joked: "Brother-in-law, how about you open up the wall that separates the Tang family and the Ye family?"

Ye Xilin thought this idea was a good one, "Yeah, why didn't I think of it? Dad, we can add a small door to the courtyard wall."

"Hahaha, Xilin, you are so cute."

"Your sister didn't love you in vain, hahaha."

Grandma Ye and her second aunt were amused by Ye Xilin's serious look.

Mother Ye patted the back of Ye Xilin's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The two families are adjacent to each other. If you want to see your sister, just raise your feet and you will be at Tang's house in a few steps."

Ye's mother and Ye's father were chatting with Grandma Ye and the others in the hall. Ye Qingqing was pulled back into the room by her second cousin, and the two little girls were lying side by side on the bed chatting.

They talked about various things from embroidery to their fiancé, and the two also exchanged various gossips about the village, and laughter like bells came from the boudoir.

Ye Xilin couldn't sit still and had long gone out with his cousins ​​to run wild.

During the Chinese New Year, there will be vendors coming to the village every day. All kinds of snacks and fun gadgets are the most popular.

Ye Xilin was a greedy person and bought a lot of candies and snacks from the salesman.

On the other side, Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin came to Wangjia Village.

As soon as she entered the door, Wang Chunyu was pulled into the room by her mother, Li.

"Why are you so anxious? What happened at home?" Wang Chunyu thought that something happened at home when she saw Li was so anxious.

Mrs. Li said with joy, "It's such a happy event, your brother is getting engaged."

"I just said I wanted to see it last time, and you fell in love so quickly?" Wang Chunyu was a little surprised.

"Didn't we arrange for two girls to meet your brother last time? The first one didn't fall in love, but your brother fell in love with the second one at a glance."

Mrs. Li laughed again and said: "How can you beat him and urge him when he is not enlightened? This brat just won't listen."

"Now I've fallen in love with her. I'm more anxious than anyone else. I'm shouting that I want to get married."

"Which girl is she from? Have you invited the matchmaker to propose marriage?" The younger brother finally got the idea, and Wang Chunyu was also very happy.

"It's Liang Meiyu, the granddaughter of the village chief's family. Although the girl was rejected from marriage, it was not her fault. It was the man who had betrayed his trust by climbing a high tree in the county."

Liang Meiyu is also from Wangjiacun, and is the same age as Wang Lixia, but a few months older than Wang Lixia.

Wang Chunyu also knew Liang Meiyu, and before they got married, they occasionally went digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms together.

Liang Meiyu is not good-looking, but she is very good-looking, honest and hard-working, a good girl, and her family background is also good.

Liang Meiyu had been engaged to a scholar in the village long ago, but she didn't know that the man had just been admitted as a scholar and then climbed up the ranks in the county.

The village chief and his wife couldn't swallow this, and they went to the academy with the Liang family to make a big fuss, and the man's reputation was almost ruined.

In order to keep his reputation and the high branches he had climbed, the man dejectedly converted all the things the Liang family had given him into money and returned them.

In addition, at the request of the Liang family, 20 taels of silver were given as compensation to Liang Meiyu, and the matter was settled.

Liang Meiyu's parents were worried that it would be difficult for their daughter to find her husband's family after the divorce, so they used the returned silver and the 20 taels of silver as compensation to buy two acres of paddy field for Liang Meiyu as a dowry.

Liang Meiyu was practical and capable, and she had two acres of paddy fields as dowry. The more Li looked at her, the more satisfied she became.

Li and Wang Lixia were anxious to get engaged. They didn't wait for Wang Chunyu to come back and asked the matchmaker to come to propose marriage early.

"Your brother and the girl from the Liang family are not young anymore. They invited the matchmaker from the village to propose marriage years ago."

"Let us decide on the marriage first. The wedding date will be at the end of next year. There will be less farm work at the end of the year, so it is a good time to hold a happy event."

The younger son's marriage was finally settled, and the heavy stone in Li's heart was finally relieved, and she felt much more energetic.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, starting from Wang Lixia's marriage and then to Wang Chunyu.

"Your sister-in-law is only three years older than you and is about to give birth to a second child. If you marry into the Ye family, you must quickly branch out. Only by having children can you establish a firm foothold in the Ye family."

"Mom, I just got married, it's too early to say this now." When it came to this, Wang Chunyu was a little shy.

"You have to give birth sooner or later. If you give birth early, you will suffer less." Mrs. Li has seen many women who were wasted in their husband's family because they did not have children.

"Did your mother-in-law urge you to have a child?" Ms. Li asked again.

"I don't know if this counts as a reminder. My mother-in-law said that after spring, she will take Qingqing to a doctor to take care of her body, and she asked me to go and take care of her body too."

Li looked at Wang Chunyu and asked, "What did your mother-in-law say?"

"That is to say, Qingqing is going to get married in two years. She should take care of her body while she is still young so that she will suffer less from having children in the future."

"My mother-in-law said that I am the same way. Before I have children, I should take care of my health first."

Wang Chunyu has a very good relationship with Ye Mu. Regardless of whether this is to induce pregnancy or not, conditioning her body is also for her own good.

"Your mother-in-law knows so much, and she also knows to take care of her body first." Ms. Li thought of the small number of people in the Tang family, and Ye Qingqing would probably be under greater pressure in the future.

"How have you been spending this time at Ye's house?"

Wang Chunyu has been married for more than a month, but Li is still not used to it and is always worried that her daughter will be bullied in other people's homes.

Wang Chunyu held Li's arm and said with a smile: "The people at home are very nice to me. I don't usually have to do any housework, just cooking and washing dishes."

"I usually make some wooden hairpins to pass the time, and when I'm done, let Dong Lin take them to the grocery store to sell them."

"There are not enough vegetables at the end of the year. I even grew bean sprouts some time ago and sold them at my home grocery store. The sales were pretty good."

Every household in Wangjia Village makes bean sprouts, but Mr. Li never thought that the bean sprouts could also be sold.

Mrs. Li felt much better when she saw that Wang Chunyu had a rosy complexion and that he could make money on his own in the Ye family. He could barely gain a foothold in the Ye family.
