The happy little days of the Ye family

I learned from Chen Xiaoyun that Yang Xinghua also had some finished embroidery in her hands.

Yang Xinghua can go to the county to sell embroidery with Chen Xiaoyun, so the embroidery she makes is naturally not bad.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing took the embroidery they had just collected back to Ye's house, and then Ye Mu packed up another bowl of mung bean cake and brought it out.

The mother and daughter carried the mung bean cake and hurriedly walked to the village chief's house.

The village chief's home is in the center of the village, just next door to Dr. Li's home.

The village chief's house is very big, and the layout is somewhat like Tang Yilin's house. The hall, kitchen and utility room are in the middle, and there are 6 rooms on the left and right sides.

The village chief has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Ye Qiushi is the candidate for the next village chief, while the second son Ye Xiayang is a shopkeeper in the county, and the younger daughter has married back to the village.

Ye Qiushi was eight years older than Ye's father. She had two sons and one daughter with Yang Xinghua, and her daughter married into the town.

The eldest son Ye Feng is now the shopkeeper of a grain shop in the town. The younger son Ye Yang grew up with Ye Donglin, and now manages the family's fields with Ye Qiushi.

The second son, Ye Xiayang, and his wife gave birth to two daughters and two sons. The eldest son is now a shopkeeper in the town, and the younger son is currently studying in the county academy.

The two daughters were married to the county, and Ye Xiayang's family usually lived in the county.

Ye Qiushi and Ye Xiayang both became grandfathers 10 years ago, and their children are already married and have children. Four years ago, the village chief divided the two brothers' homes.

When the village chief separated the families, he also invited Mr. Ye to be a witness.

Normally, everyone knew that the village chief's family was rich, but when the family was separated, Mr. Ye discovered that the village chief's family was much richer than everyone thought.

The village chief bought a shop in the county more than ten years ago. Moreover, three years ago, he spent a lot of money to buy two one-story houses in the county.

In addition, there are two shops and a house in the town, as well as two hills and 60 acres of paddy field at home.

Ye Qiushi and his youngest son Ye Yang usually manage the fields of the village chief's family.

When the family was divided, Ye Qiushi received 7% of the land, while Ye Xiayang received 3%.

Ye Xiayang is better at doing business. In the houses and shops in the town and county, Ye Qiushi gets 4%, Ye Xiayang gets 6%, and each person gets one for each of the two hills.

Although the village chief divided the family between the brothers, he only divided the family's fields and property. They were still one family according to their household registration, and the property was not divided.

Most families in the village divide their families in this way. As long as they don't keep in contact with each other for the rest of their lives, their household registrations are all together.

In this way, there will be fewer people in the family during corvee and military service.

The village chief only divided the family's property between the two brothers, while half of the money from the father-in-law was used to build a house, and the other half was kept by the couple for retirement.

The village chief's house was newly built after the family split. The village chief and his wife live in the main house next to the hall.

The brothers lived on the left and right sides respectively, but they still ate together, and the living room and kitchen were also shared.

The two brothers live next to each other, keeping their distance without getting into trouble.

When Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu came over, the door was open.

The village wasn't that particular, so the mother and daughter went straight in when they saw the door was open.

When the two passed by, Yang Xinghua and her eldest daughter-in-law Liang were doing embroidery in the house.

Knowing that Mother Ye wanted to collect their embroidery, Yang Xinghua took out all the embroidery in her hands without saying a word.

Yang Xinghua had two small pictures that had just been embroidered. They were common pictures in embroidery. One was a picture of hundreds of flowers, and the other was a picture of a fish leaping over a dragon gate.

Yang's embroidery skills are similar to those of Chen Xiaoyun and her daughter, and even the materials used for the embroidery are the same.

Ye Mu treats everyone equally and accepts them according to Li's embroidery workshop's standard, which costs 2 taels and 8 yuan for a small embroidery picture.

Liang's embroidery skills are somewhat inferior, and all she makes are ordinary embroidered handkerchiefs.

The embroidery handkerchiefs were made of ordinary silk cloth and embroidery thread, and her embroidery skills were relatively immature. Ye Mu had to pay the price of the embroidery shop in the town for her embroidery work, which was 13 cents for a handkerchief.

Ye Mu received a total of two small embroidered pictures and 10 ordinary embroidered handkerchiefs at the village chief's house, with a total expenditure of 5 taels, 760 Wen.

In one morning, Ye Mu collected a total of 4 small embroidered pictures and 16 embroidered handkerchiefs.

Ye's mother felt that these embroideries were enough for Ye's father to set up a stall. If she collected too much, she was worried that she would not be able to sell them and would end up in his hands.

When the two left, Yang Xinghua stuffed them with a lot of vegetables just picked from the vegetable garden.

"It's not a good thing. You can take it home and eat it."

Yang Xinghua was so enthusiastic that Ye Mu could not resist. When they returned, they both had various vegetables in their hands.

At this time, the shop that the Ye family had rented out was also busy.

Bai Yaowen came over early in the morning with two waiters from Bai's restaurant, and the three of them worked hard to clean up the newly rented shop.

Ye's father rented the shop to others to open a small restaurant. Although he had the intention of retaliating against Yan Dafu, the Ye family's shop was indeed very suitable for opening a small restaurant.

The shop is quite spacious inside. Father Ye had previously placed 8 small tables in the shop, and the counter next to the door is quite new.

Ye's father had only used these tables, chairs and counters for two or three years, but they could still be used. Ye's father sold them to Bai Yaowen at a low price.

In addition, there is a well in the shop, and although the kitchen is not big, it is barely enough.

The shop is simply cleaned, and when the signboard customized by Bai Yaowen arrives, the Bai family's small restaurant can be opened.

Ye Donglin knew that Bai Yaowen was going to open a small restaurant, so he came here to sell various grains, vegetables and seasonings in the grocery store to Bai Yaowen.

When Bai Yaowen came over, there were many women buying vegetables and food in the grocery store.

The Ye family's vegetables were picked just in the morning, and the fish were also very fresh. Bai Shi thought that he would have to buy vegetables anyway, but seeing that the Ye family's products were indeed good, he was willing to cooperate.

Then Bai Yaowen looked at other things in the shop, especially grains, dry goods and spices.

Ye Donglin's grocery store focuses on high-quality and low-price products.

Bai Yaowen went to the grocery store and ordered all kinds of condiments needed for the small restaurant on the spot. He also stocked up on some food and even ordered two jars of good rice wine.

The consumption of a small restaurant is larger than that of ordinary people, so Ye Donglin specially gave Bai Yaowen a 9% discount.

Bai Yaowen saw that Ye Donglin was a good person, and he also thought about long-term cooperation in the future.

There is a grocery store next door that has a full range of everything, which is actually quite convenient. If you are missing something, you can buy it right away.

Father Ye had already cleaned the shop before it was rented out. Bai Yaowen had tidied up the shop in one morning, and the newly purchased spices and grains had also been sorted and put away.

Bai Yaowen named his small restaurant Baijia Restaurant, which specializes in various cheap and large-volume stir-fried dishes.

Bai Yaowen also made an agreement with Ye Donglin that when the Bai family restaurant opens, he will order vegetables, chicken, duck and fish from the Ye family.

When Ye Donglin came home, he was almost smiling from ear to ear.

The shop was rented out, but I didn't expect to find a long-term sponsor for the grocery store.

Ye Donglin looks forward to Bai Yaowen's Bai's Restaurant opening early every day, and the business is booming.
