The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Qingqing rubbed his still sore waist and really wanted to go back to sleep again.

But today is a big market, and Ye Qingqing has made an appointment with Mrs. Ye to go to the market to pick some chicks to raise.

Ye Qingqing got up quickly, got dressed and went out to wash up.

When Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing came to Ye's house, Mrs. Ye was already waiting for them at the door.

Seeing Ye Qingqing coming over, Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help nagging: "You're so lazy, I went late and all the good chicks were picked out."

Ye Qingqing hurried to the field and hugged Mrs. Ye's arm and said with a smile: "I know I was wrong. I will come here earlier next time."

Ye Qingqing helped Mrs. Ye onto the bullock cart, and Tang Xiaojing on the side also quickly helped Ye Qingqing onto the bullock cart.

Ye Qingqing and Mrs. Ye were sitting side by side in the bullock cart, while Tang Xiaojing was sitting outside driving the bullock cart.

Ye Qingqing was a chatterbox, chattering to Mrs. Ye about what he did in the Tang family every day.

Old Mrs. Ye also happily talked about the recent affairs of the Ye family, especially Ye Xilin's affairs. The grandfather and grandson exchanged various things they knew.

"I asked Xilin when he brought something over last time. Something was indeed wrong. He actually noticed Miss Li's figure and appearance."

"Although this brat has only met Miss Li twice, he is quite concerned about Miss Li's affairs." Mrs. Ye smiled happily.

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up when he heard that Ye Xilin was sending rabbits to Dashan Village tomorrow.

"This guy is so interested, he must have already fallen in love with Miss Li. Grandma, just wait and drink my grandson's wife's tea."

"Hopefully, I think these two people have some affection, but Miss Li and Xilin haven't figured it out yet, and they look stupid." Old Mrs. Ye sighed.

On the way, Mrs. Ye saw Ye Qingqing secretly rubbing her waist several times. Mrs. Ye was also a visitor, so she jokingly said:

"It's better for young people to be more restrained."

Ye Qingqing's face and ears turned red. He held Old Mrs. Ye's arm and buried his face on Old Mrs. Ye's shoulder, not daring to get up.

Even Tang Xiaojing, who was driving outside, was a little embarrassed, and the tips of his ears quietly turned red.

Fortunately, the town was not far from Peach Blossom Village, and the three of them arrived in the town after a while.

The ox cart cannot enter the market, so Tang Xiaojing stores the ox cart at a storage point next to the market.

Because he wanted to catch chickens, Tang Xiaojing brought a large cage from home.

Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Qingqing held hands and walked from the street to the place where livestock was sold.

Behind him, Tang Xiaojing was carrying more and more things, most of which were various snacks and pastries bought by Ye Qingqing.

Where livestock is sold, there are two places selling chickens and another one selling ducklings.

The chicks and ducks are small and fluffy and look very cute.

Ye Qingqing grabbed a yellow chicken and put it in his hand.

The little guy was very courageous. He was not afraid at all when he saw Ye Qingqing, and even pecked Ye Qingqing's palm with his small mouth.

However, his strength was weak. Ye Qingqing felt itchy in his palms and couldn't help laughing.

Old Mrs. Ye on the side carefully selected the chicks. Old Mrs. Ye had good eyesight, and almost all the chicks she picked were female.

Ye Qingqing was holding a chick. Looking from left to right, he couldn't tell whether it was a male or a female.

It is estimated that only an experienced person like Mrs. Ye can see it at a glance.

Ye Qingqing originally planned to raise 20 chicks, but Mrs. Ye helped Ye Qingqing choose 25 pullets.

Mrs. Ye said that chicks will be damaged, and it is estimated that there will be less than 20 chickens after they are raised.

After returning from the market, Mrs. Ye took Ye Qingqing to buy ducks.

There are many small streams in the village, and ducks will find food by themselves in the water. Basically every household in the village raises some ducklings.

Whether you eat meat or keep raw duck eggs, it is very cost-effective.

There is a family named Wang in Taohua Village. Their family specializes in raising and selling ducklings. All the ducklings in the village are bought from the Wang family.

Mrs. Ye took Ye Qingqing to the Wang family in the west of the village. Because the family raised a lot of ducks, the Wang family deliberately built their house at the outermost edge of the village.

Ye Qingqing rarely goes out. When he does go out, he goes to dig wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains. He rarely comes to the west of the village. This is the first time for the Wang family to come here.

The Wang family is large and built with bricks and tiles. It seems that raising ducklings is quite profitable.

As soon as the two entered the door, an aunt who was about the same age as Ye's mother came out.

Mrs. Ye introduced Ye Qingqing: "Qingqing, this is your Aunt Wang."

"Hello, Aunt Wang." Ye Qingqing greeted obediently.

"Qingqing has grown so big."

The three of them exchanged brief greetings, and Aunt Wang took them to the backyard to see the little duck.

The Wang family's little ducks look bigger than those sold in the market, but they are all furry and look very cute.

Mrs. Ye explained to Ye Qingqing: "The bigger the ducklings are, the easier it will be to feed them back home. The ducklings in the market are too small to feed."

The grandfather and grandson arrived a little late, and there were only 60 ducklings left in the Wang family.

"Aunt Ye, people in the village have been coming here recently to buy ducklings. Now there are only 60 ducks that can be brought back to raise. The next batch will probably have to wait for about 10 days."

Ye Qingqing originally planned to have half a relationship with Mrs. Ye, but Mrs. Ye refused.

"These 60 little ducks are not many. The river in your valley is so big, these 60 little ducks are still missing."

"You take these 60 little ducks back and raise them first. I'll come over later."

Old Mrs. Ye looked at Aunt Wang again, "Daughter-in-law Fusheng, I need 100 ducklings here. You can keep them for me first. I will come and get them in 10 days."

Aunt Wang said with a smile: "No problem, I will ask the child's father to send you 100 ducklings when the time comes, but you need to pay half of the deposit first."

Worried that people in the village would not accept the duck after they had made a reservation, the Wang family made a special rule that before booking duck seedlings, half of the deposit must be paid in advance.

This was not the first time Mrs. Ye came to Wang's house to buy duck seedlings. She knew the rules and readily took out the deposit.

In addition to the 60 ducklings Ye Qingqing bought, he also ordered 40 ducklings from Aunt Wang.

The river in the valley is very big, and there are a lot of snails in it. It would be a pity not to raise some ducklings.

Moreover, Ye Qingqing can make salted duck eggs, and Ye Qingqing plans to raise more ducklings to make salted duck eggs for sale.

The little duck I just bought was so fluffy that it was no bigger than Ye Qingqing's little fist.

Two days ago, the family's long-term worker had built two duck sheds by the river. Ye Qingqing planned to raise all these ducks by the river.
