The happy little days of the Ye family

When Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing returned home, Ye Qingqing was concentrating on doing embroidery in the house.

The new embroidery pattern she made this time was based on the embroidery pattern she drew by herself.

Ye Qingqing thought about the color matching all morning, and did not start embroidery until the afternoon. When the father and son came back, they only embroidered a small mountain.

When Tang Xiaojing entered the room, Ye Qingqing was embroidering the second hill with her head down and she was so serious that she didn't even know that Tang Xiaojing was back.

Ye Qingqing saw that the room suddenly darkened. He raised his head and saw Tang Xiaojing standing at the door. His tall body blocked all the light in the room.

"You're back. My husband, please stand aside. You've blocked all the light in the room."

Ye Qingqing was thinking about making embroidery, and waved her hand towards Tang Xiaojing, asking him to stand aside.

Tang Xiaojing walked to Ye Qingqing's side, raised his hand and pinched the back of Ye Qingqing's neck.

After working with his head down for a long time, Ye Qingqing felt a pain in his neck as soon as Tang Xiaojing touched it.

"It hurts, it hurts, be gentle."

Ye Qingqing was like a kitten being pinched by the back of the neck, and he immediately became much more well-behaved.

"It is said that sitting for a long time is harmful to the body. When you are doing embroidery, you need to get up and move around frequently. You can tell by looking at you that you haven't moved all afternoon."

"No, I got up and fed the chickens in the afternoon." Ye Qingqing said guiltily.

Tang Xiaojing's hand squeezed Ye Qingqing's shoulder again, and Ye Qingqing suddenly felt soreness in his shoulder.

Ye Qingqing pushed Tang Xiaojing's hand away and moved his neck and shoulders in the room.

Then Tang Xiaojing pulled Ye Qingqing out of the house, and the two of them went to the backyard where the mushrooms were dried, and helped Tangshan pack up the mushrooms he picked today.

The prices of morels and gallinobacteria are high, and they need to be dried separately from ordinary mushrooms.

As for other mushrooms of different quality, they were all picked out and eaten at night.

Tang Xiaojing collected the mushrooms for a while, then got up to collect the prey that Rhubarb had caught today.

The wild goat was in good spirits. Tang Xiaojing planned to keep it for now, and then take it to the Liang Family Restaurant when he went to the county to deliver rabbits the day after tomorrow.

Tang Xiao quietly took the remaining half-grown rabbit to the well for disposal.

In the evening, Ye Qingqing made mushroom stewed rabbit, mushroom soup and boiled vegetables.

When Ye Qingqing woke up the next day, Tang Xiaojing had just made breakfast, and the smell of roasted sweet potatoes filled the room.

Ye Qingqing was actually awakened by the sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes.

After the father and son went out, Da Huang and Xiao Huang slept in the hall, and the house was quiet.

After Ye Qingqing washed the dishes and chopsticks for breakfast, she packed up the embroidery and prepared to go to Ye's house to do embroidery with Ye's mother.

As soon as Ye Qingqing passed by the hall, Da Huang and Xiao Huang immediately ran out, following closely behind Ye Qingqing.

When they walked to the gate, the two big guys were still following Ye Qingqing closely, humming quietly, hoping that Ye Qingqing would take them out to play.

Ye Qingqing couldn't see the pitiful appearance of Dahuang and Xiaohuang, so he took them to Ye's house together.

Ye Qingqing returns to the Ye family every two days. The people in the Ye family are used to seeing Ye Qingqing.

Everyone deliberately did not entertain her, so Ye Qingqing took the embroidery and went directly to Ye Mu.

On the other side, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing finally arrived at Xiaohe Town after driving an ox cart for two hours.

The father and son were not familiar with the banks and pawn shops in Xiaohe Town, so they did not act rashly. They first went to a teahouse to inquire about the news.

I had a pot of tea at Tangxiao Scenic Spot. When the waiter from the teahouse came to deliver the tea, he stuffed another 5 cents into it and asked about which bank or pawn shop nearby had a better reputation.

The waiter serving tea was very enthusiastic and immediately told the father and son about the silver houses and pawn shops in the town.

"The best silver shop is of course the gold and silver shop on the street. The gold and silver shop is the largest silver shop here. The prices are reasonable and the jewelry is also very beautiful."

"And the guys there have good attitudes and never look down on others. You are definitely right to go to the Gold and Silver Building."

Then the guy started talking about the pawn shop down the street.

"There are two pawnshops on the street. The one on the street is the Liu family pawnshop. I heard that my boss has several pawnshops in Fucheng. They are very powerful. It is said that they can eat no matter how valuable they are."

"The Zhang's Pawn Shop near the end of the street, although the shop is relatively small, is run by a local landlord in Xiaohe Town. The prices are fair and the reputation is better."

"Both pawnshops are pretty good, sir, you can choose for yourself."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was looking at him not far away, the waiter didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly went to serve tea to other guests.

Tang Shan thought for a while and then looked at Tang Xiaojing, "I guess Liu's pawnshop wouldn't look down on our small items. Since Zhang's pawnshop has a better reputation, I think it's better to go to Zhang's pawnshop."

Tang Xiaojing had no objection, "I heard from the guy that their prices are more reasonable and their reputation is good, so just go to Zhang's Pawn Shop."

After the father and son came out of the teahouse, they went straight to Zhang's pawn shop.

The teahouse is on the street, not far from the Zhang's pawnshop at the end of the street. The two drove the ox cart to the door of the Zhang's pawnshop quickly.

The father and son did not go directly into the pawn shop, but stood at the door and observed for a while.

The plaque of Zhang's pawn shop looked very plain. The father and son stood at the door for a while before they saw two people entering.

There are down-and-out young men who are well-dressed, and there are also poor people who are full of patches.

Not long after the two entered, they came out. Although his face was a little disappointed, it didn't look angry.

After Tang Shan saw two more people entering, he nodded towards the Tang Xiao scenic spot on the side.

"There are quite a lot of people. It seems that the reputation is really good."

Only then did the father and son take their things into the Zhang family pawn shop.

There were two plainly dressed people in the lobby discussing something with the waiter. The father and son went directly to the counter to find the shopkeeper.

Seeing that there were outsiders in the pawn shop, Tangshan did not take out all the things directly.

Instead, he took out the scratched pearl that Ye Qingqing found and the two small purple pearls.

The shopkeeper saw that although the father and son were dressed rather ordinary, their demeanor was neither humble nor overbearing, so he enthusiastically led them into a small wing next to them.

After the shopkeeper locked the door, Tang Shan took out a small box from his arms, which contained all the things he had obtained from treasure hunting in the past few days.

Most of the things inside are small objects made of jade, and the rarest ones are probably the three pearls.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the big pearl just now. He thought there was a big deal, but he didn't expect that the pearl was scratched.

What I took out later were only some scattered small items, which made me a little disappointed.

The shopkeeper looked at the big pearl and shook his head with regret:

"The scratches on it are really too big. Even if it is made into an inlay, it will be difficult to cover the scratches, and even if it is covered, it won't look as good as before."

In the end, the pearl was only pawned for five taels of silver.

The pair of small purple pearls were slightly more expensive and were pawned for 20 taels of silver.

The small items in the box were pawned for a total of 35 taels of silver. Including three pearls, the father and son got a total of 60 taels of silver from the pawn shop.

Although the price was a little less than the two expected, it was all for free, and the two were quite satisfied.

The father and son planned to exchange the silver and gold and silver jewelry found in the house into gold nuggets.
