The happy little days of the Ye family

The two of them were fooling around until midnight last night. Ye Qingqing slept so deeply during the afternoon nap that Tang Xiaojing didn't even notice when he got up.

Tang Xiaojing got up lightly. As soon as he left the room, he saw Dahuang and Xiaohuang sleeping at the door.

Seeing Tang Xiaojing, Dahuang jumped up and down very enthusiastically, and the big tail behind his tail kept wagging.

Xiao Huang also stood up, wagging his tail beside Tang Xiaojing, and pounced directly on Tang Xiaojing.

Tang Xiaojing didn't take them up the mountain for the past two days. Dahuang and Xiaohuang were almost exhausted at home.

Afraid of disturbing Ye Qingqing's sleep, Tang Xiaojing quickly took the two overly lively guys to the front yard.

Tang Xiaojing found two small branches and threw them far away, one on the left and the other on the right. Big Huang and Xiao Huang quickly separated and chased the branches. As soon as the branches fell to the ground, they were picked up immediately.

The branch returned to Tang Xiaojing's hand, and then was thrown out. Da Huang and Xiao Huang immediately ran out.

Tang Xiaojing played with Da Huang and Xiao Huang for a while. When he went to wash his hands, he saw that there was not much water in the water tank at the door of the kitchen, so he quickly went to fill the water tank again.

In the past, there were only the father and son at home. They didn't cook during the day, and they took cold showers with water directly from the well. A tank of water could not be used up in a day.

Now I still have to cook at home, boil water for bathing at night, and use at least two tanks of water a day.

Tang Xiaojing planned to buy an extra large pottery jar for water and fill the jar with water in the morning so that Qingqing could use water conveniently at home.

Although there is a well at home, there is still a long way to carry water from the well in the backyard to the door of the kitchen.

Ye Qingqing grew up pampered and had not done much heavy work since she was a child. Tang Xiaojing was reluctant to let Ye Qingqing carry water by herself.

Tang Xiaojing took two large buckets to the well to fetch water. There were two small pools beside the well.

A pond is intended to be used to raise fish. Ye Qingqing likes to eat fish. Tang Xiaojing plans to hunt some pheasants and rabbits and go to Ye's house to exchange for some fish to keep at home.

The other one is used to hold the water used for washing clothes and vegetables. This water is used to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang were really bored, so they had no choice but to follow Tang Xiaojing around. When they came to the backyard, the two big guys started fighting, trampling on several herbs in a row.

Tang Xiaojing was so angry that he gave him a slap in the face.

Rhubarb and Xiaohuang were rough-skinned and fleshy, but they were happy to be beaten, thinking that Tang Xiaojing was playing with them.

After fetching water, Tang Xiaojing, who had nothing to do, went to the front yard to chop firewood.

There isn't much chopped firewood at home, probably only enough for a few days.

In the future, cooking at home will require a lot of firewood. Tang Xiaojing plans to chop more firewood.

Ye Qingqing slept very soundly during his afternoon nap. When he woke up, the sun had already tilted to the west, and the closed doors and windows blocked out the westward sun.

Ye Qingqing opened the window in the room, and then stretched his still sore waist.

The sound of chopping firewood came from the front yard. Ye Qingqing opened the door and followed the sound to the front yard.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing had already chopped a lot of firewood, which was probably enough for several days.

Ye Qingqing had just arrived, and Da Huang and Xiao Huang circled around her enthusiastically.

When Tang Xiaojing saw Ye Qingqing coming over, he didn't have any intention of chopping firewood. He quickly put down the ax in his hand and drove away the big yellow that tried to rush into Ye Qingqing's arms.

Seeing that Tang Xiaojing was sweating profusely from exhaustion, Ye Qingqing took out a handkerchief.

Just as he was about to wipe Tang Xiaojing's sweat, he realized that the man was too tall. He pulled Tang Xiaojing's sleeve and whispered:

"Keep your head down."

Tang Xiaojing lowered his head obediently, and Ye Qingqing took a handkerchief to help him wipe the sweat on his forehead and neck.

"I don't raise chickens at home, so it's not an option to exchange eggs with people in the village all the time. I still have to be more prudent in my life."

"Want to raise chickens?" Tang Xiaojing looked down at Ye Qingqing and couldn't help but rub Ye Qingqing's little head again.

In the past, there was no cooking at home. The father and his son would leave early and come home late on weekdays. Even if they raised chickens, no one would take care of them. Tang Xiaojing simply stopped raising chickens.

Tang Xiaojing had always exchanged pheasants and hares for the eggs that he usually had for breakfast at home with the villagers.

Ye Qingqing, who is very economical, feels that it is not cost-effective to exchange meat with the villagers for eggs. It is better to raise a few chickens to lay eggs.

Ye Qingqing felt that his hair was messed up by this person and slapped Tang Xiaojing's hand away.

"The backyard is big, so I'd better raise a few hens to lay eggs. I won't raise roosters. Everyone around me raises roosters."

Tang Xiaojing's face was full of smiles and he was in a very good mood. "Okay, after I get back home, I will go up the mountain to cut some bamboo and come back and build a chicken coop."

In the past, there were only Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing at home, and every time they came home, it was deserted.

Father and son don't like to stay at home on weekdays, and both like to stay in the lively Ye family.

Now that Ye Qingqing is at home, the family will raise some livestock and have two children later, and it will soon be as lively as the Ye family.

Tang Xiaojing's voice rose and he continued cheerfully: "In the past, there were only my father and I at home. Life was rough, and we dealt with it casually a lot of the time."

"There should be a lot of things missing at home. Take a look at what is still missing at home. When we get back home, we can go to the town to buy it together."

Ye Qingqing pulled Tang Xiaojing to the kitchen, and the two of them walked around the kitchen and carefully inspected the things in the kitchen.

"We are short of a lot of things at home. We basically don't have any seasonings for cooking. We need to buy some aged vinegar, soy sauce, miso and bulk rice wine for stewing meat."

"There is still oil. I need to buy some lard and refining it." Speaking of oil refining, Ye Qingqing wanted to eat the fragrant lard rice again.

"In addition, we only have one big iron pot at home, which is not enough. We need to buy another iron pot. Moreover, we don't have enough bowls and chopsticks at home, so we need to buy more."

"By the way, there is also a kitchen knife. The kitchen knife at home is missing several big holes. Let's buy a new one."

Ye Qingqing talked about the things that were missing at home. Tang Xiaojing listened happily and felt that he was back to the time when his mother was still there, which was very warm.

"Besides the kitchen stuff, is there anything else you're missing?"

Ye Qingqing thought for a moment, then said with a blushing face: "I want a tub where I can take a bath."

"A tub for taking a bath?" Tang Xiaojing's ears turned red quietly without knowing what he thought of, and then he smiled very happily.

"It's a simple matter. I'll go find the carpenter in the village and bring you a big and comfortable bathtub."

"You rest at home, I'm going to find Uncle Tang to make a bathtub now." Tang Xiaojing said as he walked out quickly.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing came out, Da Huang and Xiao Huang immediately followed Tang Xiaojing out.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. It's okay to go after you get home tomorrow?"

Ye Qingqing originally wanted to call Tang Xiaojing to stop, but found that everyone had already walked out of the yard.

Before going out, Tang Xiaojing glanced at Ye Qingqing meaningfully.

Ye Qingqing felt that this man was weird, as if he was holding back some bad ideas.
