The happy little days of the Ye family

The income seems to be quite large now, but the two of them also spend a lot of money.

Then Ye Qingqing began to calculate the recent expenses of his family.

There are currently 13 long-term workers in the family, and each long-term worker's monthly salary is 550 cash, which adds up to a monthly salary of 7 taels, 150 cash.

Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan received half of the wages of these 13 long-term workers, which equaled 3 taels, 575 cents a month.

From the end of the year to now, a total of 4 wages have been paid, and a total of 14 taels, 300 Wen have been spent.

After the spring plowing, Tangshan stopped pulling cars to carry passengers and came back to take care of the family's herbs and fields with his son.

Seeing someone helping, Tang Xiaojing spent another 15 taels of silver to buy an extra batch of medicinal seeds from shopkeeper Wang.

Most of the fat pigs in the pigsty years ago were made into bacon by Tang Xiaojing.

Years later, Tang Xiaojing successively bought 30 piglets from Ye Xilin. 200 coins each, and another 6 taels of silver were spent here.

The pigs raised at home eat a lot of bean dregs every day. Just going to Xiaohe Town to buy bean dregs has cost 6 taels of silver in the past few months.

After having Chenchen, the money spent on fabrics, safety locks, and money for Wang Wenpo and Dr. Li totaled ten taels of silver.

All kinds of expenses at home were added up here and there, and we spent 4 taels of silver in four months.

Ye Qingqing looked at the various expenses at home and couldn't help but said heartbrokenly:

"In the past, four to five hundred silver was enough for a month's expenses at home. Since I got this little Doudin Chenchen, I have spent 4 taels of silver in four months."

Raising children is too expensive.

Tang Xiaojing glanced at Chenchen, who was sleeping on the bed and had a red face.

"After Chenchen was born, the family bought more things. But this is our first child, and the family lacks a lot of things. There is nothing we can do about it."

The boss was actually Tang Xiao Jinghua. He bought a lot of fabrics for Chenchen, and also gave him a safety lock, a stroller, a bed with a fence, and various small toys.

In addition, during Ye Qingqing's confinement period, Tang Xiaojing took all kinds of nourishing food from home as if he didn't need money.

This money is like running water, it is not spent at all, and more than ten taels of silver are spent in one go.

Ye Qingqing quietly held Tang Xiaojing's hand. She just sighed and didn't mean to blame him.

After all, the money was spent on her and her son, and it really couldn't be saved.

The expenses were relatively scattered accounts. Ye Qingqing took a long time to calculate them. In the past four months, he spent a total of 4 taels and 41 Wen.

Ye Qingqing held a small abacus and said while calculating:

“这4个月以来，进账总共是107两822文，花销是41两316文，算下来我们一共攒下了66两506文。”

Then the two counted the money on the table again. The total was 66 taels and 501 cents, which was 5 cents less than what was in the account.

"Strange, why is 5 cents missing?"

Ye Qingqing didn't believe it, so he calculated it again, and the result was still only 66 taels, 501 coins.

The actual money saved was 5 cents less than what was recorded in Ye Qingqing's account.

Fortunately, they didn't have much money, so the two of them didn't dwell too much on this matter.

The income and expenses in these four months have been too much, and it is normal to have a discrepancy of 4 cents.

“去年攒下了478两银子，加上这66两501文，我们手上就有544两501文了。”

Looking at the money on the table, Tang Xiaojing was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

With this money, Ye Qingqing and the children will not suffer.

Ye Qingqing looked at the money on the table and became stunned.

Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing had been silent and pushed her shoulder.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"Compared to last year, the money saved this year is a little less."

As he spoke, Ye Qingqing looked over this year's income again, trying to see what went wrong.

Seeing that she was taking it seriously, Tang Xiaojing also came over to check the income in the account together.

Not long after, Ye Qingqing patted his thigh and said:

"I said, why am I short of money? I haven't done any embroidery in the past few months, otherwise I could have made more than 30 taels more."

It takes four months to complete a large embroidery picture, but there is a shortage of more than 4 taels of silver.

Tang Xiaojing put his arm around Ye Qingqing's shoulders and comforted him softly:

"You were pregnant with Chenchen at the time, and then you had to be in confinement. It was not convenient for you to do embroidery. And the main reason was not this."

Ye Qingqing grabbed Tang Xiaojing's hand and asked anxiously:

"What's the reason for that?"

Tang Xiaojing gave her a detailed analysis:

"There are still more than 300 kilograms of dried mushrooms and some wax rabbits in the cellar that have not been sold. They could be sold for more than ten taels of silver."

"In addition, the 10 pigs that were killed years ago are now grown up. They can be slaughtered and made into bacon in a few days. These bacon can also be worth dozens of taels of silver."

"The money for dried mushrooms, plus the money for selling bacon, is actually about the same as last year."

Ye Qingqing, a little money-lover,'s eyes lit up, "By the way, I just missed the pigs in the pig pen and the dried mushrooms and bacon rabbits in the cellar. The total is about the same as last year."

Seeing that Ye Qingqing was full of energy again, Tang Xiaojing closed the account book in Ye Qingqing's hand.

The two quickly returned the money on the table to their respective places, and hid the banknotes they earned today in the hidden compartments above the rafters.

After hiding the money, it was late at night and it was quiet outside. The only sound was the sound of frogs croaking in the distance.

"Okay, let's go to bed early, otherwise you won't be able to sleep when this brat Chenchen wakes up."

Seeing the dark circles under Ye Qingqing's eyes recently, Tang Xiaojing felt a little heartbroken and urged her to rest early.

Although it was agreed that each person would be responsible for half the night every day, Ye Qingqing couldn't sleep well when the child was breastfeeding.

And the same goes for Tang Xiaojing. When Ye Qingqing got up to breastfeed, he could hear some noise.

Neither of them had had a good night's sleep for more than a month.

Both of them looked like they had been punched twice in the eyes.

Ye Qingqing also felt sorry for Tang Xiaojing, who was suffering with her.

"Stay with it for a few more months, and when the little guy starts eating solid food, I will wean him."

I can't sleep well every day. After a long time, I can't bear the iron.

"Okay, feed him solid food at night so you can sleep well at night."

Speaking of complementary foods, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt less sleepy again.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that Xiao Qi is eating solid food now and doesn't get hungry as fast as before. She can sleep until dawn."

"Stop talking, it's still early, go to bed quickly."

Tang Xiaojing saw that she was getting more and more excited as she talked, so he quickly blew out the candle.
