The happy little days of the Ye family

After the father and son went out with the food, Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing also went out to collect embroidery in the village.

The mother and daughter first went to Ye's mother's family. Li's embroidery was quite good.

Moreover, the silk flowers made by Grandma Ye can also be sold at the stall. Mother Ye plans to collect some silk flowers and bring them back.

It was a coincidence that the two of them came. Li had just completed a large embroidery picture half a month ago, and Grandma Ye had also made a lot of silk flowers.

However, because Ye Qingmei was about to give birth, the two of them did not dare to go to the county, and their things were still at home.

Li was not very good at drawing new embroidery patterns, so she still embroidered the old peonies.

Li's embroidery skills have also improved a lot in the past few years, and Grandma Ye is also responsible for the color matching. This peony embroidery is graceful, luxurious, and elegant.

This embroidered picture is only a little worse than the one made by Ye Mu. If it were obtained from the Li Family Embroidery Workshop, it would probably be sold for about 28 taels.

I had collected embroidery in the village before, and everyone knew that Father Ye was selling embroidery at the stall. Mother Ye got straight to the point and said:

"Second sister-in-law, if you get this embroidery from Li Family Embroidery Workshop, you might as well sell it directly to our family. The price is guaranteed not to be lower than that from Li Family Embroidery Workshop."

Li now has to take care of Ye Qingmei and has no time to go to the county.

Mother Ye collected her embroidery directly from the village, and Mrs. Li was very happy. "Okay, if you accept it, it will save me time to go to the county."

The profit of embroidery is high and everyone is acquaintances. Ye Mu raised the price of the embroidery a little and accepted Li's embroidery pattern for 29 taels.

After taking the money, Mrs. Li asked with a smile:

"Qingmei is going to be in double confinement, and I don't have much time to do embroidery now. I can embroider handkerchiefs, purses and small embroidery pictures. Will you accept these small embroidery items?"

Li's embroidery was much better than that of other people in the village. Mother Ye agreed:

"I'll take it, second sister-in-law, just do it and take as much as you can."

"Second aunt's craftsmanship is very good, even if it is a small piece of embroidery, it will definitely be good." Ye Qingqing, who was playing with a small stone next to her, was very happy.

"Okay, then I'll embroider the handkerchief first. When Qingmei is ready for confinement, I'll do some small embroidery."

Xiao Shitou can't live without people now, and Li really doesn't have the energy to do embroidery.

Ye Mu suggested: "Second sister-in-law, the gold silk embroidered handkerchiefs Qingqing made before are selling well and the price is high. You can embroider the gold silk handkerchiefs."

"Okay, I still have some gold thread at home." Li was very happy to make more money.

Knowing that Mother Ye also wanted to collect silk flowers, Grandma Ye brought a big cloth bag filled with silk flowers.

There are 4 different kinds of silk flowers, and the leaf mother picked 8 of each kind, for a total of 32 silk flowers.

The silk flowers that Grandma Ye made before were all brought to the Li Family Embroidery Workshop. A silk flower embroidery shop charges 15 cents and sells it for 25 cents.

The leaves are collected according to the price of the embroidery shop, and the total of 32 silk flowers is 480 wen.

Ye Qingmei, who was holding her son at the side, felt extremely envious when she saw her grandmother and mother-in-law making so much money from their crafts.

After leaving Wang's house, the mother and daughter went to the village chief's house and Wang Duoduo's house, and collected three small embroidered pictures and 3 ordinary handkerchiefs.

The price of embroidery is still the same as last time. The small embroidery pictures of Wang Duoduo, mother and daughter, and Yang Xinghua are all charged at 2 taels and 8 yuan a piece.

The embroidered handkerchief made by Yang Xinghua’s daughter-in-law, Ms. Liang, is worth 13 pieces.

The two wanted to collect more embroidery, but the embroidery made by other people in the village was not very good, even worse than the handkerchiefs made by Liang.

在村里走了一圈，叶母总收了一幅大的绣图、32朵绢花、3幅小绣图和12张手帕，总共花了38两36文。

As soon as Ye Qingqing and Ye Mu approached the door, four big guys, Rhubarb, Xiaohuang, Sweet Potato and Snowball, were wagging their tails at the door and waiting for them to come back.

When Ye Qingqing came back, he saw how enthusiastic the four dogs were, and he rubbed their big heads one by one in a good mood.

The two packed up the embroidery and started making money from it.

It was a bit cloudy this afternoon and the light in the room was not very good, so the two simply moved out the embroidery shed, and the mother and daughter sat under the eaves outside the hall to do embroidery.

Ye Qingqing still embroidered small pictures this time. What she embroidered was an embroidery pattern she had drawn before, showing the cute images of Snowball and Sweet Potato playing together when they were little.

Ye Mu made a large picture. From the few cool and proud chrysanthemums on the embroidery picture, we can tell that it is an autumn chrysanthemum picture.

Ye Qingqing lowered his head and was doing embroidery, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Huang and Hongshu getting together very closely, and the two dogs sniffed each other as if no one else was around.

"The relationship between Hongshu and Xiao Huang is quite good." Ye Qingqing said to Ye Mu beside him with a smile.

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Ye Mu glanced at Xiao Huang a few more times, "I see Xiao Huang's belly is round. Are you pregnant?"

Hearing Ye Mu's words, Ye Qingqing stopped the needlework in his hand and looked at Xiao Huang carefully.

"I actually feel that Xiao Huang has gained some weight recently. I thought it was because the food at home was too good and Xiao Huang gained weight due to eating, but I didn't expect that she was pregnant."

Before, Dahuang and Xiaohuang followed Tang Xiaojing to the mountains for hunting every day, and rarely fooled around with other dogs in the village.

Ye Qingqing had been married to the Tang family for so long, and Xiao Huang was not pregnant with a baby, so she didn't even think about it.

Who would have thought that the rhubarb and the little huang would be mixed with the Ye family's sweet potato and snowball, and the little puppy would probably be born earlier than the child in Ye Qingqing's belly.

Thinking of Rhubarb, Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing looked at Snowball in unison. At this time, Rhubarb and Snowball were playing enthusiastically.

The two of them looked down and saw that Snowball's belly was indeed round, and it looked a little bigger than Xiao Huang's.

Mother Ye smiled and said: "I went to Wang Duoduo in the afternoon. The little girl also said that if the dog at home has a baby, she would give one to her family. Unexpectedly, both dogs at home were pregnant just after I said it."

"Dahuang and Xiaohuang often go hunting with my husband in the mountains. The house is too deserted. I still want to stay at home and raise Xiaohuang's child." Ye Qingqing does not want to give Xiaohuang's child to others to raise.

"Then you can keep it and raise it. Xueqiu is pregnant now anyway. When the time comes, I will carry one over to Duoduo."

Chen Xiaoyun lives with her daughter in the village. Although the atmosphere in the village is good, Chen Xiaoyun has never dared to sleep too much at night.

Chen Xiaoyun had asked Mother Ye several times in private before, but Xueqiu never got pregnant.

Seeing that both Xueqiu and Xiao Huang were pregnant, Mother Ye specially cooked some more food when cooking at night.

"Little puppies are the cutest. When the little guys are born, I will draw a few more embroidery samples of the puppies playing, and I will embroider them into pictures in the future."

Ye Qingqing was silly and happy while lighting a fire for Ye Mu.
