The happy little days of the Ye family

Knowing that his son was not sick, Tang Xiaojing felt much relieved. After coming out of Wang's Pharmacy, he walked happily to Chen's Cloth Village.

The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and there are quite a lot of people in the cloth shop. Most of them come to buy light fabrics to make summer clothes.

Tang Xiaojing is not very good at choosing fabrics. He is afraid that if the fabric he buys is not good, he will be scolded when he returns home.

At this time, there happened to be a lot of women choosing fabrics. He quietly walked aside and observed how they chose fabrics.

A well-dressed woman picked up a piece of light blue cloth, touched it twice and nodded with satisfaction.

"This new fabric is cool to the touch, and it will definitely be comfortable to make clothes."

The woman in gray clothes beside her actually also liked the new fabric, but she thought the price was too expensive and was reluctant to buy it.

"It's comfortable, but the price is too expensive. It's much more expensive than ordinary fabrics. I think it's linen, which is strong, durable, and breathable. It's most suitable for summer wear."

Another woman who was familiar with them took a piece of cheesecloth and said, "I still like cotton. It absorbs sweat, is soft, and is comfortable to wear."

Tang Xiaojing looked at the woman who spoke first. She was holding a piece of light blue cloth in her hand.

The color of the fabric was pretty nice, and it was refreshing and comfortable to look at, so I took one off the shelf.

This fabric does feel a little cold in the hand, and it looks thinner than ordinary fabrics.

Qingqing and Chenchen are more afraid of heat, so this fabric is suitable for making clothes.

Shopkeeper Chen saw that Tang Xiaojing was interested in this fabric, and introduced him to him with a smile:

"Young man from the Tang family, you have such good taste. This is the best-selling fabric in the county recently. Not to mention it is light and breathable, and the fabric is also cold and cool. It is very comfortable to wear, and it is not hot at all."

The woman in gray clothes looked at the cloth in Tang Xiaojing's hand and couldn't help complaining:

"It's a little better than ordinary fabric, but your price is too expensive. It actually costs 280 yuan a piece, which is more expensive than cotton."

Shopkeeper Chen was not upset at being brought down by others, and still said with a smile on his face:

"This fabric is a bit expensive, but it is comfortable to wear. Moreover, this fabric was brought back from other places and cost a lot of money to transport it back."

Shopkeeper Chen really didn't sell the fabric at a high price intentionally. The main reason was that the fabric was not produced by them themselves, and the cost was already high. If it was sold cheaply, there would be no profit.

He actually took some back to the weaving workshop and asked people to study it carefully to see if the fabric could be made.

But I don’t know what was mixed in this fabric, but it couldn’t achieve this effect, so I had to buy it from other places at a high price.

Tang Xiaojing felt a little distressed again when he heard that the price was 280 yuan per horse.

He touched the fabric on his hand again. It was a bit expensive, but it was indeed quite comfortable. There was a reason why it was expensive.

Seeing that the fabric was really good, Tang Xiaojing planned to use half of it to make clothes for Ye Qingqing and Chenchen.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this fabric looks pretty good. Give me half a piece."

"Okay."

Shopkeeper Chen quickly brought the fabric to the counter, and then took out pieces of gray fabric from the shelf nearby.

"This fabric is also available in gray. Would you like another half to make clothes for you and your father?"

Tang Xiaojing shook his head, "No, my father and I either go up the mountain or go down to the ground every day, and our clothes get damaged quickly. The fabric is so thin, it will probably be scratched by branches within two days."

Shopkeeper Chen was very enthusiastic, "There are other light fabrics in the shop that are suitable for summer wear. Why don't you bring some fine linen to make clothes? The rags are breathable and strong."

Before Tang Xiaojing could refuse, he immediately took two more pieces of linen from the shelf.

Tang Xiaojing still refused, and turned around to see the burlap piled in the corner.

"Give me a piece of this burlap, half a piece each of the black and gray ones."

It wasn't that he wasn't willing to spend money to buy good fabrics, it was mainly that he and Tang Shan ran to the mountains every day and the clothes were scratched after not being worn twice, so there was no need to buy such good fabrics.

Except for two relatively decent clothes made of coarse cotton, most of Tang Xiaojing's clothes are made of burlap, which is cheap and very durable.

"Okay, I'll cut it for you right away."

Shopkeeper Chen was quick with his hands and feet, and he cut all three pieces of fabric in a short time.

"The newly arrived half piece of fabric costs 140 cents, and the other two types of burlap cost exactly 95 cents per piece. The total is 235 cents."

Tang Xiaojing took a 2-yuan piece of broken silver from his wallet, and then counted 35 copper plates.

After coming out of Buzhuang, Tang Xiaojing went to the shop where he often buys rouge and gouache, and bought a box of hand polish for Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing came out of Doctor Li's house and carried Chenchen to Ye's house.

As soon as they came in, they saw Sweet Potato and Snowball lying under the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade, while Xiao Qi squatted between the two dogs.

The little guy pulled Sweet Potato's big ears to the left and rubbed Snowball's furry head to the right, having a great time.

Of course, only Xiao Qi was having fun. Both Sweet Potato and Snowball looked helpless, lying motionless under the tree.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he looked at Gouzi, who seemed to have aged several years.

"Xiao Qi, please be gentle and don't hurt the sweet potatoes and snowballs."

"Gently~, it doesn't hurt."

The little guy nodded his head seriously, and patted the sweet potatoes and snowballs with his little hands excitedly.

Fortunately, the little guy is small and has little strength. Sweet potatoes and snowballs have thick hair on their bodies, so they don’t hurt at all when they are patted on their bodies.

They were probably tired from all the tossing, so Snowball and Sweet Potato lay lazily on their backs, letting the little guy make trouble on their bodies.

After Ye Qingqing told Xiao Qi to be gentle and not to hurt the children Sweet Potato and Snowball, he went back to the house to find Ye's mother.

Walking to the backyard, I saw Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu changing into short clothes suitable for work.

"Mom, sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Mother Ye held a basket in her hand, and then took the large basket handed over by Wang Chunyu.

"It's summer now, and the wild vegetables on the mountains will get old if you don't pick them. Your sister-in-law and I are going to dig wild vegetables in the back mountains."

Knowing that they were going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains, Ye Qingqing was also a little itchy. She hadn't been out for a long time.

"I want to go too. Since giving birth to Chenchen, I have been to the back mountain."

Mother Ye looked at her very well-behaved grandson, "What about Chenchen?"

"Aunt Chen went to wash diapers just now, and she should be back now. I'll feed Chenchen later, put him to sleep, and then I can go out."

"Okay, you take Chenchen back first. When you come over, we can dig wild vegetables together."

Just as he turned around, Wang Chunyu reminded from behind: "Qingqing, the sun is a little bright now, remember to put on your straw hat."

"I know! Wait for me, I'll be right over."
