The happy little days of the Ye family

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with several pieces of cotton cloth, all blue, green and off-white, including fine cotton and coarse cotton.

Yang was looking at the fabric while teaching her confused girl.

"Now that the baby is not born yet, it's best to buy blue and green fabrics that can be worn by both men and women. No matter whether it's a boy or a girl, you can't go wrong."

Li Guoer nodded vigorously, "I know, try to give something practical and error-free."

Li Guoer said this, but in her heart she still felt that giving money was the most practical thing. It would be better to buy what you want yourself.

But she didn't dare to say it, otherwise her mother would definitely say that she didn't care, and she would definitely be scolded.

After Mr. Yang carefully looked at and touched several pieces of cloth, he said to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, I want this piece of blue and green cloth, each 5 feet long." Yang picked two pieces of soft, coarse cotton cloth.

"okay!"

The shopkeeper happily went to the counter to cut the fabric while holding it in his arms.

Yang took the opportunity to teach her daughter, "In the future, when you marry into the Ye family, you can keep some better fabrics like this at home. If someone has a happy event, you can give them away directly."

"For weddings, for example, if someone is getting married, you are inviting someone to drink, or if your child is one month old, you can give them fabrics. In addition, it is also good to give eggs. If you don't know what to give, you can't go wrong with giving eggs."

"I know, you've said this many times, mother." Li Guoer nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yang tapped Li Guoer's forehead and said angrily:

"You girl, if you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't bother to talk to you."

"Yes, yes, mother, you are the best!" Li Guoer held Yang's hand and said perfunctorily.

Yang Yufang brought a few bundles of thread in front of the shelf, "Mom, we have the fabric, do you want to pick up some more thread?"

"I want it. If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it. I want two rolls of red and one roll of white. I also need a few embroidery needles. All the ones at home were broken by Guo'er."

Speaking of the broken embroidery needle, Li Guoer felt a little guilty. Fortunately, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were concentrating on their needlework and had no time to look at her.

The three of them stayed in the cloth shop for a long time. Yang chose several pieces of fabric in total, and most of them were relatively expensive cotton.

In addition, she picked some more needles and threads later, and Yang felt a little distressed when she paid.

After collecting the money, the shopkeeper gave them a large piece of cloth.

Yang tied several pieces of cloth together, and Li Guoer was strong enough to hold them easily in his hand.

Seeing that Yang was generous, the shopkeeper gave her another large bag of rags, and then sent the three of them out with a smile on their face.

"You three ladies, go slowly. If you want to buy fabrics next time, remember to come to our fabric shop."

"Okay, I'll come to your house next time."

Ms. Yang feels that this cloth shop has a relatively complete range of fabrics and the shopkeeper is also more honest, so she plans to come there at the end of the year to buy fabrics for the trousseau.

After coming out of Buzhuang, the three of them happily walked around the market again.

At this time, there were far fewer people in the big gathering, but the shouting around them became louder, and many things began to be sold at reduced prices.

At this time of spring, there is no harvest, and there are no fresh vegetables at home. Yang bought a few white radishes as thick as her arms and a few heads of Chinese cabbage.

Thinking of planting vegetables in spring, Yang went to the seed shop on the street and bought some vegetable seeds.

There was a woman selling home-made brown sugar on the street, and Yang Yufang asked for a pound.

Yang thought that Li Guoer didn't have much brown sugar left, so she bought another pound.

Li Guoer only had some small snacks such as candy bars, sesame seed cakes and candied haws on her hands.

Although Li Guoer was carrying large and small bags of things in her hands, she could walk very fast with her long legs.

"Mom, there are chestnuts for sale out front. Do you want to buy some chestnuts? Dad likes to eat chestnuts the most."

"Okay, let's buy two kilograms and go back."

In fact, there are many chestnut trees in the mountains near Dashan Village, but the village is short of food, and these chestnuts have long been targeted by the villagers before they are ripe.

At the end of the year, several hunters from the Li family went into the mountains to hunt all day long and had no time to pick chestnuts.

Before Mrs. Yang came, she said that there was nothing missing at home and there was nothing to buy. Before they finished shopping at the market, the three of them were carrying large and small bags of things.

When I was about to go back, I met an old man selling sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes on the stall were piled up like a hill, and they looked quite big.

Sweet potatoes are not picky. Every household in Shiliba Village is growing sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes have been displayed for a long time, and only the people in the town bought a few kilograms and took them away. The sweet potatoes that were transported were almost untouched.

The old man was very excited when he saw Li Guoer and the others stopped. "Little lady, do you want to buy sweet potatoes? You can pick whatever you want for a penny."

Dashan Village is surrounded by mountains and there is very little arable land. The Li family only has a few vegetable plots that they have cultivated themselves, but no fields.

Yang actually planted some sweet potatoes in a hidden place on a nearby hill before, but before the sweet potatoes grew, rats came and ate them.

In addition, there are often people walking on the nearby hills. If you are not careful, the sweet potatoes you planted will be dug up.

The sweet potatoes that she worked so hard to grow did not yield a few kilograms, and later Yang simply stopped growing them.

The price of sweet potatoes is very low. You can buy a pound for one penny. The three of them picked two sacks of sweet potatoes and spent a total of 178 penny.

Li Guoer handed the cloth in her hand to Yang Yufang, and then held a sack of sweet potatoes in one hand, leaving everyone around them stunned.

There was even a woman who took a fancy to Li Guoer's strength and asked around to find out whose girl she was.

There were actually people nearby who knew Li Guoer and the others. When she heard that Li Guoer was engaged, the woman felt a little pity.

It was too late, and such a capable girl was given away by someone else.

Li Guoer had already gone far away, and she didn't know that anyone had inquired about her.

When the mother and daughter returned home, Orion Li happened to be taking his two sons down the mountain, and they happened to meet them at the door of their home.

Now is not a good time to pick herbs. The father and son searched two hills and found no herbs that could be sold for money.

Fortunately, he encountered a wild rooster that came out to look for food. Li Orion nailed the big rooster to the trunk of the tree with one arrow.

Anyway, there are not many medicinal herbs on the mountain. With this big rooster, at least we can go back to do business. The father and son came back early.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Orion was directed by Yang to go to the kitchen to boil hot water and kill the chicken.

Li Orion didn't even take a sip of water before he went to the kitchen to light the fire pitifully.

Before leaving, Li Orion ordered his youngest son to make himself a bowl of honey water.

Li He saw that his mother and sister had gone back to the house to pack the things they bought today, while his eldest brother and sister-in-law were standing aside.

As the one with the lowest status in the family, he had no choice but to go and make honey water for Orion Li.
