The happy little days of the Ye family

Ye Qingmei and Ye Qingqing were fighting and making trouble, as if they were back before they were married.

Ye Qingmei sighed: "I haven't been so happy for a long time. Now that I'm married, I'm really not as happy and comfortable as before at home."

After saying that, Ye Qingmei quietly looked around, fearing that someone might hear her.

Ye Qingqing nodded quickly and said in agreement:

"You're right. After getting married, I am really not as comfortable as when I was a daughter. Especially now that I have a child, I can't go anywhere and am stuck at home all day."

Ye Qingqing was used to doing whatever she wanted, but now she felt like she was going moldy when she stayed at home to nurse her baby every day.

"Yes, I just came out for a short while and I already missed my child. I was afraid that he would cry and make trouble at home, and I was also afraid that he would get into trouble. This mother is really not easy to be."

Ye Qingqing thought of Ye Mu.

"It's not easy for my mother either. She raised us three skinny monkeys. She has to make two new sets of beautiful clothes for my mother when she goes back. And my father, I also make him two new sets of clothes."

Since Ye Qingqing became a mother, she has become more aware of how difficult it is to be a parent, and she is much more sensible than before.

"After the summer harvest, I will also make new clothes for my parents." Ye Qingmei said cheerfully.

There were a lot of people in the bamboo forest. In addition to women, there were also many little kids running around inside.

At a glance, it can be seen that the bamboo shoots on the outside have basically been dug up.

Father Ye and the village collect mountain products. Dried mushrooms cost 20 cents per catty, and dried bamboo shoots cost 11 cents per catty.

Although the price of mushrooms is higher than that of dried bamboo shoots, the quantity is relatively small and they are light.

A basket of mushrooms weighs only about two kilograms after drying. Bamboo shoots are different, they are bigger and heavier.

The income from digging bamboo shoots for a day is at least double that of picking mushrooms for a day. Most of the people came over to dig bamboo shoots.

Even though this is the backside of the back mountain, there are still many people in the bamboo forest here.

Ye Qingqing and Ye Qingmei could only walk deeper into the bamboo forest. It took a while before they saw any trace of bamboo shoots.

Ye Qingqing saw from a distance that there was a huge bamboo shoot thicker than her calf directly in front of her.

Ye Qingqing ran over happily, but was disappointed to find that the bamboo shoot was actually empty, and the bamboo shoots had already hollowed out the meat.

"It's a pity. Such a big bamboo shoot is enough to eat two meals if you take it home. It will be cheaper than the bamboo rats here."

Speaking of bamboo rats, Ye Qingmei suddenly became energetic. She hadn't eaten it yet and didn't know if it was delicious.

Ye Qingmei looked at Ye Qingqing with a flattering expression.

"Qingqing, don't you have a dog at home? Next time, bring the rhubarb and the little huang, catch the bamboo rats and stew them. I haven't eaten bamboo shoots yet."

"I've eaten it a few times, and it's all from big yellow and small yellow. It tastes pretty good. How about we come here again tomorrow and I'll bring black beans and florets over to catch bamboo rats."

Knowing that she could express milk to feed her baby, Ye Qingqing no longer wanted to stay at home and had made arrangements for tomorrow.

"Okay, okay, we'll come over tomorrow to dig bamboo shoots and catch bamboo rats." Ye Qingmei was very curious about bamboo rats.

While talking, Ye Qingmei had already dug two bamboo shoots, but they were not big, they were just young bamboo shoots.

But Ye Qingqing only focused on chatting, his hands were still empty and he didn't dig a single bamboo shoot.

Ye Qingmei had good eyesight and found another big bamboo shoot, "Qingqing, come here quickly, I'll give you this bamboo shoot."

"Come on, come on."

Ye Qingqing raised a small hoe and dug out a big, fat bamboo shoot in a few clicks.

Looking at the bamboo shoots in his hand, Ye Qingqing had already decided how to eat them.

"It's not small yet. I'll be making pickled vegetables at night."

Ye Qingmei was also a little greedy when she heard Ye Qingqing talk about pickled fresh food.

"I have bacon at home, and I also make pickled meat at night. I haven't eaten it in a long time."

Grandpa Ye and Ye Qingqing’s third cousin raised seven or eight big fat pigs at home, and the Wang family was not short of bacon.

There were so many people in the bamboo forest that Ye Qingqing finally found a bamboo shoot.

Before he could walk over, a little boy with patches all over his body scooped him up first.

Everything on the mountain was ownerless, so Ye Qingqing didn't have much to say, so he had to turn around and look for other bamboo shoots.

Ye Qingmei on the side reminded:

"The bamboo shoots can be made into dried bamboo shoots and sold. People in the village rely on this income to help support their families, and they are all rushing to dig them. You should work quickly, don't waste time."

"I know, Qingmei, of course you are getting more and more verbose." Ye Qingqing suspected that this person was treating her like a pebble.

"Huh, you little white-eyed wolf, I don't bother to talk to others."

Ye Qingmei ignored Ye Qingqing, but she still threw a young bamboo shoot that had just grown into her basket.

"For your reward."

"Thank you my good cousin."

Ye Qingqing smiled and walked to a direction with fewer people and looked for bamboo shoots seriously.

Ye Qingqing was lucky this time. After taking a few steps, he saw two thick bamboo shoots.

"Qingmei Qingmei, come here quickly."

Ye Qingqing quickly waved to Ye Qingmei who was not far away, and each of the sisters dug a big, fat, white bamboo shoot.

Ye Qingmei saw a lot of people, and there were not many bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. After digging two more bamboo shoots, he went back with Ye Qingqing.

After half a day, the two of them had gained quite a lot.

Ye Qingmei picked half a basket of bamboo shoots and half a basket of mushrooms.

Ye Qingqing also carried half a basket of mushrooms, but with fewer bamboo shoots, only 4.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the two picked some wild vegetables and filled the small baskets in their hands.

"I'm back. I wonder if the little guy Chenchen is crying."

After being out for a long time, Ye Qingqing missed Chenchen at home very much and walked very fast on her legs.

Ye Qingmei asked a question that put Ye Qingqing in a dilemma.

"Do you want Chenchen to miss you so much that he can't eat or sleep well, or do you want him to drink milk carelessly and sleep well?"

Ye Qingqing was stumped for a moment. It seemed that no matter what she said, it was not good, so she might as well choose neither of them.

"There is something wrong with your question. Can't he miss me and drink milk and sleep well at the same time? It doesn't have to be extreme. He can't eat or sleep well if he wants to."

"Chenchen is still a two-month-old baby, who knows this. I think she must be missing me, but she should still be able to eat well and sleep well."

The little guy followed her as his mother, and his favorite things were eating and sleeping.

"You little girl, you have a very flexible mind. I didn't give you a hard time."

I think she thought about this problem for a long time.

"That's right, I'm definitely smarter than you." Ye Qingqing said proudly.

When Ye Qingqing returned home, he put down his things and went back to the house. He saw Chenchen sleeping soundly on the bed.

Seeing that the little guy was sleeping soundly, Ye Qingqing went out quietly.

At the door of the kitchen, Ms. Chen was choosing dishes.

"Aunt Chen, did Chenchen look for me when she woke up just now? Did she cry?"

"After you left for about half an hour, Chenchen woke up. At first, he was looking for you everywhere, but then he drank milk obediently when he was hungry. After drinking milk, he fell asleep again."

Ye Qingqing muttered with a smile:

"Fortunately, the little guy still misses me."

The little guy followed her and had a big heart and nerves. Ye Qingqing thinks it's pretty good. She can eat and sleep without worrying about anything.
