The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Donglin just said that he had saved money for Xiao Qi's scientific examination, and he was not just saying this casually.

In the past, the grocery store business relied entirely on various outputs such as vegetables sold in the morning and food at home, and I could earn four to five taels of silver a month.

But since the grocery store added pastries made by Wang Chunyu and Ye Qingqing's miscellaneous books for rent, business has been getting better and better.

Now with the addition of roast duck and chicken, the grocery store can earn about 10 taels of silver a month, which has doubled.

In this month of the end of the year, business is even more prosperous. All kinds of dry goods, grains and cakes are sold very well. I made a full 18 taels of silver in the twelfth lunar month.

Wang Chunyu also takes care of Xiaoqi on weekdays, helping Ye Donglin make roast duck and chicken in the morning, and cakes in the afternoon. The money earned by the grocery store is actually earned by the two of them together.

In addition to the income from the grocery store, Wang Chunyu only has a few taels of silver saved by helping Old Mrs. Ye develop hairbands and hairband styles.

Wang Chunyu opened her daily journal account book, and the two of them now had a total of 162 taels and 852 coins.

Although this money is far from the money in the public school, according to the speed at which they are saving money, by the time Xiaoqi goes to school, the two of them should be able to save several hundred taels of silver.

Thinking of this, the young couple was full of energy.

The money in the ledger was dead, so the two of them dug out the hidden money uneasily.

The first two 30-tael silver notes had long been replaced by two 50-tael silver notes by Ye Donglin.

In addition, there are 4 silver ingots worth ten taels, a small pile of broken silver, and a large box of copper plates.

The two happily counted the money.

"Why are there only 160 taels of 852 silver?" Wang Chunyu couldn't believe it. Why was there 2 taels of silver missing?

"Did you count it wrong? Let's count it again." Ye Donglin thought he might have counted it wrong.

Wang Chunyu anxiously started counting the money again, but after they counted it twice, they still only had 160 taels of silver.

Ye Donglin opened the small box that contained the broken silver and found that there was no missing silver in it.

"Strange, why are there two taels of silver missing? Could it be that I spent it and forgot to write it down on the expense list?"

Wang Chunyu picked up the account book and looked at all the expenses carefully. Two taels of silver was considered a relatively large expense, and he should not forget it.

Finally, it was discovered that Wang Chunyu had forgotten to write down the 2 taels of silver he had given to Xiaoqi to buy a safe lock.

Wang Chunyu was writing in the account book while feeling annoyed, "My memory is getting worse and worse now."

Ye Donglin gently patted the back of Wang Chunyu's hand and comforted him: "It's okay, no one is perfect. I occasionally make mistakes in my accounts at the grocery store."

After the two of them hid the banknotes and money again, Ye Donglin turned around and hugged Wang Chunyu gently, lowered his head and murmured:

"Let's give Xiao Qi a sister, a little girl as beautiful and well-behaved as Xiao Yu."

Wang Chunyu didn't speak, but put his little hands around Ye Donglin's neck.

Ye Donglin picked up the shy lady and just walked to the bed——

"Wow wow wow..."

Xiaoqi, who was on the small bed, suddenly burst into tears.

Wang Chunyu was very anxious when he heard the child was crying. He pushed Ye Donglin away and ran over to see the little guy.

Wang Chunyu saw Xiaoqi frowning, then touched his little butt and found that the little guy peed his pants.

The two of them quickly changed the little guy's diaper and pants.

After changing his pants, Xiao Qi refused to sleep well and insisted on pestering Wang Chunyu.

Helpless, Ye Donglin had no choice but to carry the little guy to the big bed, and the three of them slept together.

Ye Donglin pinched the little guy's little face and smiled:

"It seems that Xiao Qi doesn't like my sister. How about I give you a little brother? Give me a little brother to play with you."

Although Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin are at odds with each other all day long, they still have a very good relationship. He also wants Xiao Qi to have a brother who can play with them.

However, Xiao Qi didn't seem too happy about it. When she heard that she was going to have a younger brother, she hugged Wang Chunyu even tighter.

"Can this little guy still understand what I say?" Ye Donglin smiled and kissed Xiao Qi's smooth little face.

Wang Chunyu smiled and kissed the other side of the little guy's face again, "Our Xiaoqi is smart, I guess we can understand."

"Let me try."

Ye Donglin became more playful and picked up the little guy.

"Xiao Qi, do you want a brother or a sister? If you want a brother, just nod. If you want a sister, just smile."

The little guy stared at Ye Donglin with round eyes, neither nodding nor smiling, and played with Ye Donglin's hair with his little hands.

"It hurts, it hurts, let go quickly." Ye Donglin grimaced in pain.

The little guy took Jilou's hair and tugged it curiously. Seeing Ye Donglin's exaggerated expression, he laughed happily.

"Hahaha, you are laughing, we Xiaoqi want a sister, right?"

Xiaoqi hugged Wang Chunyu and refused to let go. Ye Donglin had no desire to have a younger sister, so he had no choice but to hold the mother and son together to sleep.

At this time, Ye Xilin in the next room was counting the money with a smile on his face.

After washing, Ye Xilin immediately locked the doors and windows, and then dug out all the hidden silver and banknotes from under the bed, the beams and the ground under the wardrobe.

Ye Xilin's income mainly comes from the livestock raised by his family.

The family currently raises 18 breeding pigs, 15 of which are sows that give birth to piglets.

Half of the piglets born at home were raised in their own pig pens, and the other half were sold to the Tang family.

After raising the big fat pig at home, Ye Xilin would buy spices from the long-term workers in Dashan Village, and then the long-term workers would help make bacon.

For the rabbits raised in the rabbit shed, Li Orion was paid to make them into wax rabbits and rabbit skins.

Ye Xilin now raises more breeding pigs, and there are also more big pigs in Xiaohoushan, and his income has increased a lot.

You earn more, but you also have a lot of expenses. The wages of long-term workers and the money spent on buying bean dregs add up to a lot.

Ye Xilin counted the banknotes and coins on the table. He now had a total of 156 taels and 341 coins.

"I saved more than 130 taels at the beginning of the year. Why are there still only 156 taels of silver now?" Ye Xilin suspected that he had counted wrongly.

After counting again, I found that there were really only 156 taels of silver.

Ye Xilin began to think about his usual expenses again. The bulk of it was the gold bracelet he bought for Li Guoer, which cost 46 taels of silver.

Moreover, Ye Xilin had no one to look after him on weekdays, so he spent money lavishly. He often bought food and meat, and often bought silk flowers, fabrics or other gadgets for Li Guoer.

If you think about it carefully, he made a lot of money, but his expenses were not small either.

"It's better to save some money. Guo'er makes a lot of money, and I can't be compared."

The new sow in the family can already give birth to piglets, and Ye Xilin is thinking about building an additional pigsty next year to raise more pigs.

Rabbits grow quickly and only need to eat grass, so you can feed them more.

Ye Xilin was lying on the bed, thinking about how to expand his breeding scale, and fell asleep after thinking about it for a while.
