The happy little days of the Ye family

Tang Xiaojing led the ox cart out. Big Huang and Xiao Huang thought they were going to the mountain, so they jumped onto the ox cart excitedly.

"Big Huang and Xiao Huang, please go down. We are going to the town and will take you to the mountains in the afternoon." Tang Xiaojing patted Big Huang and Xiao Huang and asked them to go down.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang thought that Tang Xiaojing was unwilling to take them up the mountain, so they snorted twice and looked at Tang Xiaojing pitifully, relying on the ox cart and unwilling to get off.

Ye Qingqing looked at the pitiful appearance of the two big guys and felt extremely distressed. He pulled Tang Xiaojing's sleeves.

"How about taking them with you?"

Tang Xiaojing shook his head, "No, there are too many people in the town. It would be bad if we got lost or hurt someone."

Tang Xiaojing got on the bullock cart and hugged Dahuang and Xiaohuang one by one.

Tang Xiaojing squatted down, rubbed the big heads of Dahuang and Xiaohuang, and said like coaxing children:

"You stay at home and I will take you to the mountains to play in the afternoon."

Ye Qingqing watched Tang Xiaojing patiently communicate with Dahuang and Xiaohuang, and felt that he would definitely be a good father in the future.

Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing went out and heard Dahuang and Xiaohuang howling quietly in the yard.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang were left at home, and Tang Xiaojing felt uncomfortable.

"I haven't taken them to the mountains in the past few days. Dahuang and Xiaohuang must be exhausted. In the afternoon, I will go to the mountains to chop bamboo and take them around the mountains."

Peach Blossom Village was originally not far from the town, and the two of them soon arrived at the town.

Today is a big market, the streets are bustling and very lively.

The oxcart could not arrive at the market, so Tang Xiaojing deposited the oxcart at a nearby storage point.

Ye Qingqing thought about making lard, so the two of them went to the pork stall first. The lard was in demand, and if they went there late, it would be sold out.

The two of them went there relatively early, and the meat stall was full of meat, with various parts available.

"Girl of the Ye family, are you married?" The butcher was very surprised to see Ye Qingqing wearing a woman's bun.

"Yes, we just got married a few days ago. This is my husband Tang Xiaojing." Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu often come here to buy meat, and the butchers at the meat stall all know them.

"What kind of meat do you want? Today's suet and pork belly are very beautiful. Do you want some?"

Today's pork suet was good. Ye Qingqing ordered two pounds, and then ordered three pounds of fat and thin pork belly.

Ye Qingqing plans to go back and make some jar meat, which is delicious and durable, and is very convenient for cooking.

Ye Qingqing saw that the ribs next to him were also good, so he ordered another pound of ribs, which was perfect for lunch and dinner.

Seeing that Ye Qingqing wanted more, the butcher gave Ye Qingqing two big bones to add to his head.

Although these big bones were shaved clean and there was no trace of flesh, Ye Qingqing didn't mind it. It was also good for making bone soup.

Ye Qingqing took out a handful of copper plates and gave them to the tall butcher. The butcher quickly counted them and then threw them into a small box containing money.

The butcher happily took two huge banana leaves, wrapped all the meat, and handed it to Tang Xiaojing who was standing aside.

Tang Xiaojing put the meat into the basket behind him, took Ye Qingqing's hand, and came to a stall selling candied haws.

Tang Xiaojing bought Ye Qingqing a candied haws, and he used his own pocket money.

Ye Qingqing happily took the candied haws and handed the first bite to Tang Xiaojing's mouth.

Tang Xiaojing lowered his head and bit into a red candied haws, his eyes full of smiles. He felt that the hawthorn was sweet and not sour at all.

There were only a few candied haws on a bunch, so the two of us took one one at a time and finished it quickly.

People were coming and going on the street. Tang Xiaojing was afraid that the two of them would be separated, so he held Ye Qingqing's hand tightly.

Passing by the pastry shop, Ye Qingqing gently pulled Tang Xiaojing's hand, and the two entered the pastry shop together.

Ye Qingqing ordered two kilograms of peach cakes. The peach cakes are durable and delicious. They can be used to cushion your stomach when you are hungry.

If guests come to the house, there will be something to entertain them.

But peach cakes alone are not enough. Ye Qingqing plans to buy some more sunflower seeds, but this can be bought at Ye's grocery store.

Since the wealth does not go to outsiders, Ye Qingqing plans to go to the Ye family's grocery store later to make up for the missing items at home.

Ye Donglin's grocery store has almost everything, which saves Ye Qingqing from running around looking for these things in the market.

Passing by a place selling poultry, Tang Xiaojing stopped. There was a young woman on the roadside selling hens that were laying eggs.

If you buy chicks and raise them, they will have to be raised for half a year before they can lay eggs. It is better to just buy a few egg-laying hens and raise them.

The Ye family raised many chickens, and Ye Qingqing knew at a glance that these three hens were all pullets that had just laid eggs.

Seeing the sad look on the woman's face, Ye Qingqing probably sold the hens raised at home to lay eggs because of trouble at home.

Ye Qingqing didn't bargain and bought all three pullets directly. He also spent two cents to buy the cage containing the hens.

These three hens have just started laying eggs, so it is very suitable to buy them back and raise them to lay eggs.

Although the price is much more expensive than old hens and big roosters, eggs are not cheap either. If you can't lay eggs in the future, you can still kill them for meat.

When Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing came to Ye's grocery store, there were two women buying vegetables in the grocery store.

Spring has just begun, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden have not yet grown. Wang Chunyu’s bean sprouts are selling very well. On weekdays, many people come here to buy bean sprouts.

Seeing that Ye Donglin was busy, Ye Qingqing didn't bother him. He waved to him and took Tang Xiaojing to look for things on the shelves.

The two of them first came to the shelf where the condiments were placed, including vinegar, soy sauce, miso and rice wine. Ye Qingqing ordered some of each.

Then he took two more pounds of sugar, one pound of brown sugar and the other one of ordinary sugar.

Then the two went to the shelf where the kitchen utensils were placed. Ye Qingqing picked out a sharp kitchen knife and a large iron pot.

After thinking for a while, I picked up a wooden pot lid, which happened to match the large iron pot.

Ye Qingqing thought that many of the clothes in Tang Xiaojing's wardrobe were torn, so Ye Qingqing took a lot of rags.

I plan to find Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan's clothes and sew them all up.

Then Ye Qingqing took two more pounds of sunflower seeds, one pound of ordinary salty ones and the other five-flavored ones.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing's hands were already full of various things. Ye Qingqing thought for a moment to make sure there was nothing missing. The two of them went to the counter to check out with Ye Donglin.

Ye Donglin smiled and said: "Brothers will settle the accounts tomorrow. These things will be given to you at the purchase price."

"Thank you, brother." Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

When Ye Qingqing paid for it, he deliberately added 20 copper coins. It would take a lot of time and energy to purchase the goods, and Ye Qingqing didn't want Ye Donglin to suffer a loss.

After giving the money to his eldest brother, Ye Qingqing quickly took Tang Xiaojing and went to the braised pork shop next door to find Ye's father.

Ye Qingqing was worried that Ye Donglin would find out that he had given him too much money, but Ye Donglin didn't even count it and threw the money into the box.
