The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Xilin was standing in the corner being scolded, when suddenly a little bean came over at his feet.

The little guy hugged Ye Xilin's calf, raised his head and said in a sweet voice:

"Uncle is bad, spank uncle~"

"Why are you here, little guy!" As soon as she saw Xiao Qi, Mrs. Ye unconsciously smiled on her face.

Ye Xilin bent over and gently pulled the little guy's chubby face with his hands.

"You little white-eyed wolf, your uncle usually treats you so well, but you actually want to spank him?"

The little guy felt uncomfortable having his face pulled. He shook his head twice. Seeing that the big hand on his face was not moved away, he raised his head and complained to Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye:

"Grandma~, great-grandma~, uncle is naughty, spank uncle~" The little hand also patted Ye Xilin's thigh.

Ye Xilin bent down, put his big hand on the little guy's butt, and patted it twice.

The little guy covered his butt with both hands, his eyes widened, looking at Ye Xilin in disbelief.

"Uncle is bad, grandma~, don't give uncle meat~"

Mother Ye was amused by the little guy's childish words, so she picked up the little guy and kissed him fiercely.

"Okay, uncle is so bad, I won't give you meat for lunch."

The little guy nodded seriously, and then looked at Ye Xilin proudly.

"You little thing, you are quite vindictive." Ye Xilin pinched the flesh on the little guy's face again.

Ye Xilin worked a lot and had a lot of calluses on his hands, which made the little guy uncomfortable. He pouted and muttered in a low voice:

"Uncle~ I hate it. I can't get along with uncle~."

"Our Xiaoqi is so cute."

"Now that it has grown, it looks more and more like Dong Lin."

As soon as the little guy came, Ye's mother and Mrs. Ye didn't care about Ye Xilin anymore. They hugged the little guy and had a good time.

Seeing that the two of them had no time to talk to him, Ye Xilin quickly sneaked away.

Alas, since having Xiao Qi, his status in the family has plummeted.

Wang Chunyu, who came to look for his son, saw half a basket of leeks on the table and asked with a smile:

"Mom, do you want to make scrambled eggs with leeks for lunch?"

Mother Ye hugged Xiao Qi, turned around and said with a smile: "There are not many people at lunch, so take one-third of the scrambled eggs and eat the rest at night."

Old Mrs. Ye on the side made funny faces to tease Xiao Qi, making the little guy laugh.

"Xiaoyu, there is half a pumpkin left from the porridge in the morning. Let's cut half of it and fry it at noon." Mrs. Ye raised her head and said cheerfully.

Seeing that his son was being taken care of, Wang Chunyu took the leeks to the backyard to clean them and prepare for lunch.

Mother Ye handed Xiaoqi to Mrs. Ye, then got up and went to the backyard to help.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the well in the backyard together.

Ye Mu lifted the wooden bucket hanging above the well, and Wang Chunyu beside her fetched a bucket of well water to wash the leeks.

Mother Ye took out half of the pheasant from the barrel and said to Wang Chunyu beside her:

"There are only 7 people eating at noon, so just make 4 dishes, pheasant stewed with potatoes, stir-fried minced pork with pickles, stir-fried eggs with leeks and stir-fried pumpkin."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Mu hurriedly said: "Steam some egg custard for Xiao Qi."

"Okay, Mom really loves Xiao Qi."

"How can I not feel pain for my own grandson? Moreover, the little guy is well-behaved and lively, and very lovable."

The little guy is the youngest in the family. Mother Ye loves her grandson so much that even her son and daughter are ranked behind.

Ye Qingqing, who was doing embroidery in the room, heard the two discussing lunch and knew it was time to make lunch, so she quickly put down her needlework and came out to help.

Although Ye Qingqing can't do heavy work, she can still help with washing vegetables and lighting the fire.

After Ye Mu washes the rice, add cut sweet potatoes and appropriate amount of water.

Then he brought Ye Qingqing a small bench and asked her to sit on it and light the fire.

Wang Chunyu chopped the pheasant into small pieces on the chopping board, then peeled the potatoes and cut them into large pieces.

The pheasant takes a long time to stew. Ye Mu first stews the potatoes and pheasant, and then starts to stir-fry the minced meat and vegetables.

Wang Chunyu was cutting pumpkins and leeks.

The three of them worked together very well, and within a short while, bursts of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.

At this time, Tang Xiaojing also drove the ox cart back from Stone Mountain.

The bullock cart was full of dry firewood, and in addition there was a pair of wild geese.

After selling the wild geese yesterday, Tang Xiaojing was so excited that he came over early in the morning with his things to set up a trap to catch the wild geese.

Nowadays, the geese are getting smarter and smarter. Someone will scare the geese away.

After setting up the trap, Tang Xiaojing went to Stone Mountain to collect firewood.

Now the three members of the Tang family are eating together at the Ye family, and the Ye family is running out of firewood quickly. Every time he goes up the mountain, he will habitually pick up some firewood and go back to Ye's house.

Tang Xiaojing was lucky today. He encountered a pheasant while collecting firewood. Although it was not big, it was enough to feed the family.

Tang Xiaojing immediately picked up the bow and arrow in his backpack. The first arrow was dodged by the pheasant, and he immediately shot the second arrow, knocking the pheasant to the ground.

Tang Xiaojing quickly walked over and picked up the pheasant. After pulling out his bow and arrow, he threw the pheasant into the basket behind him.

Just as he packed up the firewood, Dahuang jumped out with another skinny rabbit in his mouth.

Tang Xiaojing took the rabbit from Dahuang's mouth and patted Dahuang's big head in a good mood.

"Not bad, I've been playing at home for a while, and my skills haven't deteriorated at all."

One person and one dog spent a long time on the mountain. When they returned to the river, Tang Xiaojing heard movement from the trap in the distance.

Dahuang next to him reacted quickly and ran out immediately.

After getting closer, I found that two traps had caught geese, and the other traps had been eaten, but nothing was caught.

Tang Xiaojing has caught wild geese many times by the river. Although they change positions every day, these little things have long learned to be smart and very cautious.

The pair of wild geese caught today happened to be a male and a female.

Seeing that today's harvest was good, Tang Xiaojing was ready to pack up and go back.

The wild geese he caught years ago also produced two more female geese. Adding these two today, the family now has one male and three female geese. They can even give birth to geese if they are raised.

There were many dead branches on the mountain in winter, so Tang Xiaojing picked up an oxcart full of firewood.

Tang Xiaojing was afraid of tiring the big ox at home, so before going back, he found some young grass by the river and fed it before going back.

At this time, the family's long-term workers had already repaired the ridges of the paddy fields.

The paddy field is filled with water, and at first glance it looks like a calm lake, reflecting the mountains in the distance and the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

Tang Xiaojing felt very calm inside, and he liked his life in Taohua Village more and more.

The big ox had just walked a few steps when he bumped into a long-term worker returning from the field to rest.

Tang Xiaojing stopped and chatted with the long-term worker for a few words. He learned that the grass at the foot of the mountain had been weeded, so he started plowing the ground when it rained.

The paddy field at home can be plowed after a few more days of soaking.

"Thank you for your hard work, pheasants and hares on the mountain. You can hunt a few more and come back for extra meals when you have time."

"Thank you boss."

The ox cart was loaded with a full load of firewood. Although it had been dried in the sun, it was still quite heavy. The ox cart moved slowly along the way.

As soon as we entered the village, the aroma of food was everywhere, and several grumpy voices of women could be heard in the distance.

"It's time to eat! Gou Sheng, you brat, don't you want to eat?"

"Hutou, if you don't come back, don't eat for lunch."

……

"Oh, come back soon!"

……

At this time, there were a few childish voices coming from everywhere, and then a few little kids came out of the corner.
