The happy little days of the Ye family

Yang Yufang took out the donkey cart at home, and then brought three small baskets and put them on the donkey cart.

"Mom, Guo'er, let's go."

The Yang family did not have a donkey cart, so Yang Yufen rarely had the chance to go to town. She was very excited to go to the big market and urged the two of them to go out early.

"Hey, it's here." Yang took Li Guo'er and walked out quickly.

"Mom, sister-in-law, hurry up and I'll drive the car today."

After getting on the donkey cart, Li Guoer held the lead rope on the donkey, and the whip in his hand controlled the donkey obediently.

Li Guoer had a fiery temper, and the donkey cart drove quickly. It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive in the town.

There was a place to keep donkey carts and ox carts next to the market. Li Guoer rushed the donkey cart there and paid him 2 cents for the care.

The three of them put on small backpacks and walked towards the market talking and laughing.

I heard a lot of excitement in the distance.

The three of them arrived not too early, as the market was at its busiest at this time, with the crowds all around and the shouts of various vendors filling their ears.

Mrs. Yang was thinking about Li Guoer's wedding dress and took the two little ones straight to the largest cloth shop on the street.

Yang knew that Ye Xilin's cousin opened a small cloth shop at the end of the street, but the two families were not familiar with each other and had never met.

Yang and Li Guoer were too embarrassed to go there, lest others think they were here to catch the autumn wind.

Today is a big market, and there are quite a lot of people in the cloth store. Li Guoer took a quick look and saw that there were at least five or six women inside selecting fabrics.

Seeing that the waiters and shopkeepers were busy, Mrs. Yang walked to the shelf where the fabrics were placed to look at the fabrics.

Mr. Yang has been taking care of everything in the family for many years, and he has a very sharp eye. He took a fancy to the bright red cloth on top at a glance.

Li Guoer was tall and quickly stepped forward to help take off the fabric. Yang and Yang Yufang both came closer to check.

This is a piece of coarse cotton cloth, dyed with a very correct color and woven very tightly and firmly. Yang is very satisfied.

Yang Yufang beside her also thought it was good, "Mom, this fabric is good, it will definitely look good if it is made into a wedding dress."

"Guo'er, what do you think of this fabric?" Yang turned to look at Li Guo'er.

"I don't know much about fabrics. Mom, you can make up your mind." Thinking of getting married at the end of the year, Li Guoer blushed and became shy.

Yang looked at Li Guoer with some humor, "You girl, you are usually very brave, but now you are very shy."

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop is also very smart. Seeing Yang choose the best fabric in the shop at a glance, he knows that these three people have no shortage of money.

Moreover, Li Guoer next to him saw that she was a girl to be married, so she was probably a distinguished guest, so she quickly stepped forward to entertain her warmly.

"This lady has such good taste. This fabric was just brought back from the county. It is very suitable for making wedding clothes or wedding quilts."

Seeing that her daughter had no objection, Yang made the decision directly and said to the shopkeeper cheerfully:

"It's good to make wedding clothes. If you want to make a wedding quilt, you don't need such a good fabric. Give me half a piece of this fabric."

"Okay, let me remind you first. There is also some good red fine linen fabric in the shop, which is very suitable for making wedding quilts. I will show it to some ladies."

Seeing that Yang didn't refuse, the shopkeeper quickly grabbed two pieces of fabric from the shelf on the side.

"Three little ladies, these two are the best red fabrics sold in the shop. They are affordable and beautiful to use for making wedding quilts."

Seeing that the two pieces of fabric were indeed good, Yang took a step forward and touched them with her hands. The two pieces of fabric were quite soft and comfortable to make into a quilt.

Yang turned around and looked at Li Guoer again, "I think these two pieces of fabric are good. Which one do you want?"

Li Guoer stepped forward and touched it carefully with her hands, feeling the two pieces of fabric. This quilt would be used to cover her body in the future, so she couldn't be careless.

The two pieces of fabric are about the same color, but they feel slightly different. One is thicker and more durable, while the other is softer and more comfortable.

Li Guoer picked another piece of softer fabric.

When Mrs. Yang saw that Li Guo'er had chosen, she directly said to the smiling shopkeeper beside her:

"Shopkeeper, I need two pieces of this fabric."

"Well, this girl has really good taste. This fabric is the best-selling one in the shop right now. It's very soft and comfortable."

"Mom, are two pieces of fabric too much?" Li Guoer pulled Yang's sleeve.

"There are too many. Two thick quilts and two thin quilts, two pieces of fabric are just right. Don't worry, I will sew this quilt without your intervention."

When Li Guoer heard that she didn't need to sew, she obediently closed her mouth.

The shopkeeper put the cloth on the counter and trotted back quickly and asked:

"There are also many brightly colored and beautiful fabrics in the shop. Would you like to pick some more to make some new clothes for the girl or use them as a dowry?"

Yang shook her head, "I still have clothes at home. It's too early to buy the dowry fabrics now."

"Get two more pieces of the cheapest burlap. Spring will be here soon. Save them for work."

Yang took care of her daughter's face and did not say that she bought it for her to practice, but the smile on Li Guoer's face immediately fell.

Yang Yufang and Yang Shi, who knew the truth, were amused by Li Guoer's expression and laughed.

Li Guoer felt even more heartbroken when she saw the two people gloating over their misfortune.

Although the shopkeeper didn't know what riddle the three men were playing, he still pulled out two pieces of black cloth from the corner.

"You three ladies, these two pieces of fabric were accumulated last year. Although they look a little old, they will still look like new after washing them."

Yang looked at the fabric. Although it was a little old, it was still quite strong.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these two pieces of fabric?"

"This burlap originally cost 100 yuan a piece, but it's a bit old now. I'll give it to you for 95 yuan."

"Shopkeeper, you are being dishonest. A new piece of fabric usually only costs 95 cents. One piece is 88 cents. If it works, I will take two pieces. If it doesn't, forget it."

"This fabric is thicker than ordinary fabrics. The original purchase price is more expensive. 93 yuan is the base price."

Yang is also a good bargainer. After haggling, the cloth was finally reduced to 90 yuan.

The shopkeeper put two bolts of burlap on the counter, and then brought several more bolts of fabrics of different colors.

"Little lady, this is the most popular fabric recently. The color is very beautiful. Do you want to buy two pieces for the little girl to use as a dowry?"

Yang refused. Her daughter didn't get married until the end of the year. She had to buy the dowry fabrics now. Otherwise, it would be wasted if they were old or bitten by insects.

Yang saw a pregnant woman in the cloth village and thought that Ye Qingqing was about to give birth.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any softer cheesecloth to make clothes for the newborn baby?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"The baby hasn't been born yet, so just choose some colors for the fabric that both boys and girls can wear."

"Okay, ladies, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper happily started rummaging through the shelves nearby.

Li Guoer looked at Ms. Yang with a puzzled look on her face, "Mom, why are you still buying fabrics for your children?"

Yang Yufang, who was standing next to her, chuckled and said, "Xilin's sister is probably going to give birth in two to three months."

Mrs. Yang rolled her eyes at her silly daughter and said angrily:

"You are such a heartless girl. Xilin's sister is about to give birth. As a future sibling, you are not allowed to express your feelings."
