The happy little days of the Ye family

While Ye Qingqing was taking a bath, Tang Xiaojing went to his father's house.

When he pushed the door open and walked in, Tang Shan was holding his clothes and was about to wash up.

"Dad, Qingqing and I have discussed it and want to ask Ye Tongsheng for help in naming the unborn child."

"That's okay, Ye Tongsheng is a scholar, so the name must be good."

Tang Shan said this, but he still felt a little regretful in his heart.

The son's name was chosen by someone else. Tangshan still wanted to name the child in Ye Qingqing's belly.

Father and son have been dependent on each other for many years. Tang Xiaojing could tell Tang Shan's thoughts at a glance. He put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile:

"Don't you want your child to go to an academy? Those names you gave him like Lai Cai and Laitian will easily make him laugh at the academy."

"Those names you thought of for me before were so big and strong. Fortunately, my mother didn't like them and forced you to find a fortune teller to give me a name. Otherwise, I would have despised them."

Tang Xiaojing felt uncomfortable all over when he thought that Tang Shan originally wanted him to be called Tang Daniu and Tang Dazhuang.

These names are okay in the village, but if you call them in the county or academy, you will definitely be laughed at.

Seeing that this brat dared to dislike his name, Tang Shan raised his leg and kicked him over.

"You brat, I shouldn't have wasted that ten cents and just let you be called Tang Daniu."

Although Tang Shan had injured his leg, his skills were still good. Tang Xiaojing did not dodge and received a solid kick.

"Alas, you old man, you really have a bad temper." Tang Xiaojing grinned and rubbed his calf.

Although Tang Shan held back his strength, the kick was still quite painful.

"Humph, I think it's true that you are quite courageous. "

The father and son were arguing, and Tangshan also knew that the name he chose was acceptable in the village, but would not be suitable if the child went out to study in the future.

Tangshan reminded lightly: "When the time comes, bring more bacon, pheasants and hares to Ye Tongsheng, and ask Ye Tongsheng to help come up with a few more nice names."

"It goes without saying that when the child is born, I will go over and ask Ye Tongsheng to help me come up with a few more names. I won't have to worry about the names of my children in the future."

"It's a beautiful thought. Okay, get out of here, don't be an eyesore here."

"Okay, I'll go back first. Dad, please rest early." It was getting late, and he had to go back and wash up quickly.

As soon as Tang Xiaojing stepped out of the room, he was unexpectedly stopped by Tang Shan behind him.

"Come back, come back, I suddenly remembered that there is one more thing I need to discuss with you."

"What's going on?" Tang Xiaojing looked at his father in confusion.

"Now I drive to solicit customers every day, and I only earn two or three taels of silver a month. What do you think about me coming back and growing medicinal materials with you?"

Tang Shan saw that his son did not speak, and then said:

"Qingqing will give birth soon. Although you need help from someone, you can't just watch. You must also help take care of Qingqing and the baby."

"You will definitely be too busy with all the things over there in Stone Mountain. Anyway, I don't make much money from soliciting customers, so it's just a good time to come back and take care of things at home."

Tang Xiaojing was so excited knowing that his father was coming back to help at home.

As soon as Tang Shan finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards him excitedly.

"Great, I told you a long time ago that you would come back to help me take care of our fields, the herbs on the mountains, and the livestock at home."

Tang Xiaojing was very happy. If Tangshan came back to help at home, then he would not have to run to the mountains every day and would be able to spend more time with Qingqing and his children.

"Dad, the family is busy with spring plowing now. Why don't you go to town tomorrow and just help at home."

Tangshan originally planned to come back to help at home, so he agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, after the spring plowing is finished, the mushrooms on the mountains will be picked. I won't go to the town or county to solicit customers tomorrow. I will help at home."

After the rainy season, silver flowers bloom in summer, and in autumn we have to harvest and collect herbs. There are quite a lot of things at home.

So the two of them agreed that starting tomorrow, Tangshan would not go to the town or county to solicit customers, but would stay at home to help.

Tang Xiaojing returned to the room after washing up. At this time, Ye Qingqing had already put on face and hand grease and was lying on the bed drowsily.

Tang Xiaojing opened the quilt and planned to press Ye Qingqing's legs.

The child in Ye Qingqing's belly is already more than 8 months old. His legs are severely swollen and his calves often cramp.

Every day before going to bed, Tang Xiaojing would massage her legs.

After Ye Qingqing sat up, he put a pillow on his waist, half lying and half sitting on the bed.

Tang Xiaojing carefully pressed Ye Qingqing's swollen calf.

"Ms., Aunt Chen should be back tomorrow. I plan to go to her tomorrow and ask her to help take care of the children."

"Okay, then I'll go out later tomorrow and accompany you to Wang's house first."

Ye Qingqing knew that Tang Xiaojing was busy with spring plowing recently, so he said considerately:

"It's okay, just go and do your work. I don't know when Aunt Chen will be back."

Tang Xiaojing raised his head and looked at Ye Qingqing mysteriously, "I have some good news for you."

"What's the good news?" Ye Qingqing sat up curiously.

"Dad said that he can't make much money by driving an ox cart to solicit customers, and the family is also short of manpower. He will stop soliciting customers from now on, and will grow herbs with me at home and take care of the family's fields and livestock."

"Let dad go work on the family fields tomorrow."

Ye Qingqing still shook his head, "It's really not necessary. You and dad can go work on spring plowing. Mom said she would accompany me there."

When he heard that Ye Mu was accompanying him, Tang Xiaojing did not insist on following him.

Then Ye Qingqing patted Tang Xiaojing's shoulder again, "As for the wages, I still can't make up my mind. What do you think the wages should be?"

Ye Qingqing asked Chen to come over, mainly to help look after the children and help.

She comes over in the morning to wash the child's diapers and clothes. She usually watches the child while she is doing embroidery.

Ye Qingqing planned to cook lunch and dinner by herself, but Chen needed to wash the vegetables and cut the meat in advance.

Chen made the preparations first, and Ye Qingqing directly took charge.

Usually I just come here after breakfast, wait for Ye Qingqing to prepare dinner in the afternoon, and then go back.

Tang Xiaojing thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be too tiring for the two of you to take care of one child. Otherwise, we can pay you according to the temporary labor rate in the village."

"Now the village is hiring temporary workers, and the men are paid 25 cents a day, and the women are 20 cents a day. How about 20 cents a day?"

"That's a good idea. Let's calculate the wages at 20 cents a day. But it still depends on Aunt Chen's wishes. Let's talk about this tomorrow. I'm so sleepy."

Tang Xiaojing also pressed his legs, took away the pillow, and helped Ye Qingqing lie down.

At this time, Ye Qingqing was already very sleepy. As soon as she lay down on the bed, she fell asleep immediately.
