The happy little days of the Ye family

No one from the Tang family came to help, so it took them a total of 15 days to harvest all the paddy fields and slopes in the family, relying on the family's long-term labor.

There is no other way. Three people have to look after the pigs and rabbits at home, leaving only 3 long-term workers busy with the summer harvest.

After finally harvesting all the grain, we are busy planting rice again.

Tang Shan and Tang Xiao Jing went out early and came back late every day. They became dark and thin, which made Ye Qingqing feel bad.

Every night, he cooked delicious food for the father and son in different ways.

Transplanting rice seedlings is faster than cutting rice. It only took 6 days to plant all 60 acres of paddy fields.

As for the slopes at the bottom of the mountain, Tang Xiaojing planned to plant sweet potatoes all over them. There were too many pigs at home, and they ate a lot of sweet potatoes every day.

In addition, Tang Xiaojing also specially selected two acres of sloping land close to sandy land to plant peanuts.

The last time he went to Baijia Youfang to buy bean dregs, Tang Xiaojing also told Ye Xilin that peanuts were a fresh crop.

Ye Xilin was so courageous that he immediately bought 70 kilograms of seeds and planned to plant three acres of peanuts.

Tang Xiaojing took his family's long-term workers to plant rice seedlings and plant sweet potatoes, while Tang Shan took two long-term workers to dry the grain on the village's drying field.

After the grain has been dried for seven or eight days, it is basically all dried.

After putting all the grain into the cellar, Tang Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. Summer harvest is so tiring.

The grain has been dried, and Tang Xiaojing has also planted autumn grain.

Before the summer harvest, Tangshan had made an agreement with the grain store in the county, and the grain store sent ox carts to collect grain.

In addition to one year's grain tax, Tangshan also left three years of grain for his family. The remaining new grain and last year's old grain are all sold to grain shops.

The Tang family has a large amount of grain, and it's all rice. The price the grain shop gives to the Tang family is half a percent higher than that of other families.

Ye Qingqing keeps the money for the grain produced in the 10 acres of paddy fields that Ye Qingqing gave him as a dowry, while the grain from other fields goes to Tangshan.

The long-term worker at home worked hard for half a year, and Ye Qingqing only got 15 taels of silver.

After getting the money, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but complain to Tang Xiaojing:

"It's really not easy for farmers. It's such hard work and you can't make much money all year round."

"And this is still a good year. If the times are bad and God doesn't give you face, it will be even worse."

Tang Xiaojing saw things more clearly, "It's not easy for anyone. Those merchants seem to be rich and powerful, but their status is low and their descendants can't take scientific examinations."

"Although farmers have a harder time, their future generations can still take scientific examinations and have the opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate. At least there is hope."

Ye Qingqing looked at Tang Xiaojing and couldn't help but ask: "In the future, our children will also be allowed to take the scientific examination and become officials?"

"Who knows, the scientific examination also depends on talent. If he can't get in, there's nothing he can do."

Tang Xiaojing himself has no talent and falls asleep whenever he reads a book. He doesn't know if his child has this talent for reading.

"Anyway, we have prepared the money for him to study. It would be best if he can pass the examination as a boy student or a scholar. We can't use the money to buy him property."

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaojing suddenly felt a little stressed. How much money would it cost?

Ye Qingqing thought about what Ye Mu had said before, that after the summer harvest, she would go to the county to look at houses and buy a house near the academy.

Suddenly he was a little moved, "How about we buy a house near the academy like my parents' family, so that it will be convenient for our children to go to school in the future."

Tang Xiaojing couldn't help laughing, "Silly Qingqing, have you forgotten that your family has a house in the academy?"

Xia Shu was so busy that Ye Qingqing really forgot about the house.

Ye Qingqing only visited that house once after she got married, and she only glanced at the door twice. She really didn't think about it.

Ye Qingqing said harshly: "Didn't you say that the academy is newly opened and the teachers there are average? We can buy a house near a better academy."

"Qingqing is still smart. I'll go talk to dad and ask him to pay for more money." Tang Xiaojing suddenly became excited.

"No, we can do it ourselves..." Before Ye Qingqing could finish speaking, Tang Xiaojing had already left.

Tang Xiaojing stayed in Tangshan's house for a long time, and happily took away 150 taels of silver when he left.

Ye Qingqing looked at the money that Tang Xiaojing brought back. There was too much money, and some of them didn't dare to take it.

"Isn't it good? Why do you get so much money from dad?"

"Father gave it to you, so feel free to take it. From now on, we just have to honor him."

The father and son have been dependent on each other for many years. Although they manage their own money, their money is basically mixed.

And it is impossible for Tang Xiaojing to ignore Tangshan in the future, and he will feel very comfortable with the money given by Tangshan.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingqing ran to Ye's house, planning to discuss with Ye's mother when to go to the county to view a house.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they could see Ye Donglin resting at home.

Ye Qingqing exclaimed: "Brother, why have you lost so much weight?"

During the summer harvest period, Ye Donglin goes out early and comes back late every day, while Ye Qingqing is busy at home every day. The brother and sister have not seen each other for more than half a month.

Suddenly seeing Ye Donglin who had lost weight, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Ye Donglin, who originally had a round belly and was a little chubby, suddenly lost a lot of weight. The flesh on my face and belly was gone, and I suddenly returned to how I was two years ago.

In fact, except for Ye Donglin, everyone in Taohua Village has lost a lot of weight, but it's just not as obvious as Ye Donglin.

The Ye family members looked at Ye Donglin every day and knew that he had lost a lot of weight, but they did not realize for a moment that he had returned to his previous appearance from the fat man.

After Ye Qingqing said it, everyone was shocked to realize that Ye Donglin had lost weight.

Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye were still a little distressed. Why had they lost so much weight all of a sudden? Will your body be overwhelmed?

But Ye Donglin himself was quite happy, he finally lost weight.

Ye Donglin also looked at Ye Xilin proudly to see how you called me fat.

Ye Xilin ran back to the house happily, and soon took out the large scale used for weighing pigs, and looked at Ye Donglin with a smile.

"Fat man, come up quickly and I'll weigh you how much you've lost."

"Ye Xilin, are you itchy?" Then he chased Ye Xilin all over the yard.

However, Ye Xilin had been naughty since he was a child and was chased and beaten by almost everyone in his family. He ran so fast that Ye Donglin couldn't catch up behind him.

There was a lot of excitement in the yard, but no one said anything to stop it, and just watched the fun happily.

Finally, the brothers got tired of running and stopped.

But Ye Donglin finally made it, the large scale used for weighing pigs.

I don’t know if I don’t know, but I didn’t expect that I would lose 20 pounds in one summer harvest.

Ye's mother was heartbroken when she heard that Ye Donglin had lost 20 pounds all of a sudden. She planned to kill a chicken at night to make up for her eldest son's weight.

Ye Donglin quickly held it down, "Mom, I finally lost weight. I really don't need to take supplements, I'm in good health."

"I'm still too thin now. It was so nice to be chubby before. I'm so lucky." Looking at Ye Donglin's angular face, Ye's mother still felt a little distressed.

"That's right, I'm too thin now, but I still look good before." Mrs. Ye also liked the round Ye Donglin before.

Ever since Ye Donglin lost weight, he has often been embarrassed in front of Ye Xilin.

However, Ye Xilin still insisted on calling him Fatty. Anyway, this man was puffy and fat, so he couldn't catch up with him.

Hahahahahaha, you can’t hit him.

Although Ye Donglin couldn't hit this brat, he quietly reminded Ye Xilin about Ye Xilin's peek at Ye's father's album.

Ye's father discovered that there was something wrong with the location of the collection of albums, and chased Ye Xilin all over the house.

Ye Donglin considers himself a filial son, so he naturally wants to help his father and teach this careless brat a lesson.

The father and son teamed up to give Ye Xilin a good beating.

Ye Xilin had a loud voice, and Ye Qingqing could hear the happy voices of the Ye family in the Tang family.

Ye Qingqing hurried over, eating melon seeds and watching the show with the others, which made Ye Xilin so angry that his teeth itched.
