The happy little days of the Ye family

A few days after the summer harvest, Tang Xiaojing was at home, and Ye Qingqing sent him to take care of Chenchen on the pretext of cultivating the relationship between father and son.

In the past few days, Tang Xiaojing and Chenchen were staring at each other.

After five days of training, Tang Xiaojing finally taught the little guy to stand up.

After Chenchen learned to roll over, she especially liked to roll around in the bed. She would roll to the edge of the bed without noticing.

Once he rolled to the edge of the bed, Ye Qingqing was shocked.

So the little guy was moved to the small bed with a fence that Tang Xiaojing had specially customized for him.

There are fences around the crib. No matter how hard the little guy rolls, he can't get out.

When the weather is nice, Ye Qingqing also moves the crib to the yard so that the little guy can bask in the sun.

Chenchen often sleeps in the house and rarely comes out. The dog at home is very curious about him.

As soon as they took the little guy out, Heidou and Xiaohua circled around the crib. Seeing that Ye Qingqing didn't stop them, they cautiously approached Chenchen.

Chenchen was also very curious about Heidou and Xiaohua. He lay on the fence and looked at the two dogs that were taller than him.

The little guy's big round eyes rolled around the two big dogs, and his little hand stretched out to grab the fur on Heidou's body.

"Yeah ah..."

The long hair under Heidou's neck was caught by the little guy, and he didn't dare to move. He lowered his head and gently licked his pink little hand.

"Yeah ah..."

As soon as she met the little guy, Chenchen immediately retracted her little hand, babbling words that Ye Qingqing couldn't understand.

Ye Qingqing took the little guy out and said, "What's wrong? Do we want to play with Heidou and Xiaohua in the morning?"

Chenchen stuck her little head in Ye Qingqing's arms and stared at Heidou intently.

Ye Qingqing saw the two dogs here, and the little ones refused to sleep, so he simply took Chenchen back to the house.

…………

After resting at home for several days, she, Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan went out early in the morning.

On the way, Tang Xiaojing thought about the lotus flowers on the mountain again. If the lotus flowers were still blooming, he planned to take Ye Qingqing up the mountain to enjoy the flowers.

After getting off the oxcart, Tang Xiaojing tied the rhubarb to a place where there were many young grasses.

Then the two of them went to check the seedlings that had just been planted some time ago.

When we walked to the valley, we could see long-term workers in the fields patching up seedlings from a distance.

A small part of the seedlings planted previously floated and needed to be replanted.

During the days when the father and son were resting, the family's long-term workers were also busy, replenishing the areas that had not been planted.

However, there are not many places for replanting in Xinhao, and most of the seedlings are growing well.

After these few days of rest and recuperation, the originally staggered rows of seedlings have grown lush and green, and have also grown a little taller.

When we reached the bottom of the valley, we heard the sound of ducks quacking in the river.

Seeing the big duck in the river, Tang Xiaojing thought of the old duck soup and perilla braised duck that Ye Qingqing made before.

There happened to be a long-term worker busy nearby, and Tang Xiaojing happily said to the man:

"Uncle Liu, you can help catch 4 ducks later. Leave an old duck and a young duck for me, and leave the remaining two for you to add to your lunch."

"Okay, thank you, boss."

When he heard that there was duck for lunch, the middle-aged man laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Seeing that there were not many ducks left in the river, Tangshan reminded his son:

"There are dozens of ducks left in the river. Donglin still cooks roast duck every day. I think we will catch some more ducklings and bring them back."

Tang Xiaojing saw that there were indeed not many ducks left, so he smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll find someone to replace the ducklings when I get back."

Ye Qingqing used to raise these ducks, originally thinking of adding food to his family and long-term workers. Later, he raised more and more ducks, and simply sold them to Ye Donglin to make roast ducks.

After looking at the paddy fields, the father and son went to look at the dry land at the foot of the mountain.

A total of eight acres of peanuts, three acres of corn and three acres of sweet potatoes are planted at the foot of the mountain.

Peanuts and corn were just planted, and the seeds in the ground have not yet germinated.

The seeds haven't germinated yet, but many small green weeds have sprouted.

These weeds have just emerged, and they need to be weeded in a few days. Otherwise, the weeds will take away the fertilizer and the peanuts and corn in the field will not grow.

In order to grow peanuts, Tang Xiaojing spent a lot of time peeling peanuts, and his hands were swollen after peeling them.

If he didn't grow it properly, he would be sorry for his two broken nails and red and swollen fingers.

It rained lightly the night before yesterday, and the sweet potato seedlings in the field grew quite well.

It was a little wilted when it was first planted, but now it is growing very vigorously, with some young leaves growing on the top buds.

The family raises dozens of pigs, and the sweet potatoes in the three acres of land are definitely not enough to eat, but there are still two hills at home.

Tang Xiaojing also planted some sweet potatoes on the mountain. Sweet potatoes can be grown anywhere regardless of the location.

Many herbs were planted on Stone Mountain, but Tang Xiaojing only planted a few sweet potatoes at the foot of the mountain.

Every place on Rabbit Mountain that could be planted was filled with sweet potatoes.

These sweet potatoes on the mountain can be used to feed pigs in normal times, but they can be life-saving food in disaster years.

I learned this from the village. Under the leadership of the village chief, the back mountain is planted with sweet potatoes every year. Even if the villagers dig them up, they have to replant them.

Many poor families in the village rely on sweet potatoes from the mountains behind to survive.

After wandering around the foot of the mountain, the father and son nodded with satisfaction and then went to Stone Mountain.

They were busy harvesting rice, and then busy planting autumn grains. The father and son did not go up the mountain to check for herbs for nearly a month.

When going up the mountain, the father and son were still a little impatient.

A month has passed, and the herbal seedlings planted at the beginning of the year are now growing quite well.

I don't know if it was because of the addition of mulch, but Tang Xiaojing obviously felt that these seedlings had grown a little taller.

Even the seedlings that were broken by the rain have sprouted new shoots.

In addition to herbal seedlings, the father and son also checked other herbs on the mountain and picked many mature herbs.

Polygonatum, Polygonum multiflorum, Niu Dali and Eucommia ulmoides, all kinds of herbs are almost filling people's backpacks.

Tang Xiaojing looked at the herbs in the basket and said with a smile:

"These herbs were the first to be planted. They are now seven or eight years old. They are growing really well and must be very effective."

These herbs were planted by Tang Xiaojing himself, and his feelings were extraordinary. These herbs were like his own children.

Tangshan looked at these herbs on the mountain and was very emotional.

"It has been seven or eight years since we, father and son, returned to Taohua Village. Life flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, I have become a grandfather."

Tangshan had no choice but to return to the village because his leg was seriously injured and he could no longer work as a bodyguard.

He didn't want to sit around in the county and suffer landslides, and wanted to come back to the village to buy some fields and beg for food.

Unexpectedly, after coming back, life would get better and better.

"Yeah, when I decided to come back to the village, I wasn't too happy about it. I didn't expect that now I'm getting married in the village."

Thinking of Ye Qingqing and Chen Chen at home, Tang Xiaojing smiled tenderly.

The father and son are very satisfied with their current life. They really did the right thing by returning to Taohua Village to settle down.
