The happy little days of the Ye family

Live geese have been hunted, and the only thing missing from the bride price is a wild goat.

In the next few days, Tang Xiaojing dug traps in the mountains to catch wild goats.

There were a lot of wild goats on the mountain, but they had to be caught alive and not seriously injured. Tang Xiaojing spent a lot of effort to catch the wild goats.

People are in high spirits during happy events. Tang Xiaojing has been very lucky recently and caught two adult wild goats, one male and one female.

Tang Xiaojing thought that this male and female wild goat would be suitable for hiring.

Since there were two wild goats, Tangshan asked Tang Xiaojing to increase the number of pigs to two. Anyway, there were plenty of pigs at home.

The night before the betrothal gift, Tang Xiaojing checked all the betrothal gifts again uneasily.

In fact, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing have checked it many times in the past few days.

Tang Xiaojing was so excited that he couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning, so he simply got up and took stock of the betrothal gift again.

After counting the betrothal gifts, Tang Xiaojing fed the pigs and wild goats in the pigsty before going back to the house to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojing and Tangshan took Matchmaker Wang to Ye's house to hire someone in high spirits.

There is only a wall between the Ye family and the Tang family. Both Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing felt that it was too close to the Ye family to walk directly. No one in the village knew that the Tang family went to the Ye family to hire.

Tang Xiaojing felt that such an important matter as the betrothal should be known to the whole village, so he suggested taking the betrothal gift for a walk around Taohua Village.

Tangshan also likes to be lively, and the father and son hit it off immediately. They walked around Taohua Village with their betrothal gifts, beating gongs and drums, and went to the Ye family to hire someone.

In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone in the village knew that the Tang family was going to the Ye family to hire someone.

Many villagers who liked the excitement also followed Tang Xiaojing to the Ye family to hire.

There have long been rumors in the village that in order to marry Ye Qingqing, the Tang family emptied most of their wealth, and even more exaggeratedly, it was said that the Tang family emptied their entire family fortune.

Not only was it the betrothal gift of the Tang family, it was also the Tang family's wealth, and everyone in the village was very interested.

There is no entertainment in the village, and the summer harvest is finished. The marriage between the Tang family and the Ye family is the biggest event in Taohua Village recently.

As long as you walk through the crowd, you can always hear various speculations about the Ye family and the Tang family.

Everyone was talking a lot, guessing what dowry the Ye family had prepared for Ye Qingqing, and what betrothal gift the Tang family had prepared.

The people in the village were very anxious early on, and asked the Ye family, the Tang family, and the Qiu Harvest Lady one after another.

However, the population of the two families was tight, and even Lady Autumn Harvest could not get any useful information.

Today Tang Xiaojing came to Ye's house to offer employment, and everyone wanted to follow him to watch the fun.

It can be said that the Tang family and the Ye family are the two richest families in the village besides the village chief's family.

Everyone in the village wanted to see how valuable the betrothal gift given to Ye Qingqing by the Tang family was.

There were a lot of people coming to watch the excitement today, but the appointment was a happy event, and it was hard for Mrs. Ye to drive people away.

The courtyard of the Ye family was bustling with people. There was no room for standing in the courtyard, and there were many people watching the excitement even outside the door.

Ye Qingqing felt that most of the people in the village had come to their house to watch the fun, and she was the monkey being watched by everyone.

Fortunately, although the Tang family's father and son were a little too showy, they also knew how to behave appropriately.

The betrothal gift included in the betrothal gift was placed on Tangshan, and the valuable gold-headed noodles and wild ginseng were placed in a box.

Six bolts of fine cotton cloth were placed in another larger box, and both boxes were locked.

There were many good-hearted villagers on the road who wanted to open the boxes to see the Tang family's betrothal gifts, but the two boxes had long been locked by Tangshan.

All the people in the village could see were two wild goats and two big fat pigs, and a pair of wild geese that Tang Xiaojing had specially hunted in the mountains.

Although the contents inside the box cannot be seen, the two wild goats and two big fat pigs are enough to be envied by the people in the village.

As for the betrothal gift, the two families discussed it privately, and even Matchmaker Wang didn't know.

The betrothal gifts from the Tang family and the dowry from the Ye family were relatively large, so their wealth was not visible, and Mrs. Ye didn't want to be too high-profile.

Mrs. Ye specifically told Matchmaker Wang, as well as everyone in the Ye family and the Tang family, not to disclose the betrothal gift and dowry.

As for the betrothal gift for Ye Qingqing, it was carried directly to Mrs. Ye's house.

And Ye Qingqing's dowry is basically all kept in Mrs. Ye's room.

The Tang family and the Ye family knew each other well, and both families were very satisfied with the marriage.

In addition, Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing were childhood sweethearts, and they hit it off immediately. The appointment was just a formality, and the whole process went very smoothly.

After the appointment, Ye Qingqing re-measured Tang Xiaojing and prepared to make Tang Xiaojing's wedding dress.

In the past month, Tang Xiaojing has been either busy hunting wild geese or catching wild goats. In fact, the two of them rarely met.

Today Tang Xiaojing came over to offer employment, and Ye Qingqing suddenly felt very nervous and uneasy.

The Tang family is next door to the Ye family, and the Tang family and his son eat together at the Ye family every day. Ye Qingqing is very familiar with Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing has been to the Tang family several times, and Ye Qingqing is relatively familiar with the Tang family.

Ye Qingqing actually didn't have much feelings about getting married before. The two were childhood sweethearts, so getting married was a natural thing.

Ye Qingqing didn't even feel the nervousness and fear that other girls to be married said.

Today Tang Xiaojing came to offer employment. Ye Qingqing was very happy and looked forward to forming a new family with Tang Xiaojing.

But after being hired, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt nervous and flustered. Ye Qingqing found out that she was going to get married when she grew up.

From now on, she will leave the Ye family where she grew up and go live with the Tang family.

In fact, Ye's father and Ye's mother were also a little sad. The daughter they had finally raised was about to marry into someone else's family.

Compared to the sadness on the Ye family's side, the Tang family can be said to be beaming with joy. At night, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing were so happy that they drank some wine.

Tang Xiaojing poured Tangshan a glass of wine, "Dad, you have worked hard these years."

"Don't worry, dad. Just have a good relationship with Qingqing from now on." Tangshan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Dad, do you want to inform your uncle about my marriage?" Tang Xiaojing suddenly thought of his uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Your marriage is a big event. Although the two families haven't contacted each other for a long time, according to the rules, we still need to inform you."

Tang Xiaojing's mother, Ye, was also from Taohua Village. When Tang Xiaojing was four or five years old, his grandmother and grandfather passed away one after another.

After the death of his grandma and grandpa, Tang Xiaojing's uncle moved to the next county to make a living. He has hardly been back to Taohua Village in the past few years.

The last time Tang Xiaojing saw his uncle was at his mother's funeral.

In the following years, the two families almost lost contact.

Tang Xiaojing also knew that his uncle probably wouldn't be coming, but out of courtesy, he still wanted to inform him.

The father and son were so happy when they came to Ye's house to hire someone today that they drank two large pots of strong wine.

At the end of the drink, the father and son stood shoulder to shoulder and called each other brothers.
