The happy little days of the Ye family

Although it was a slack time for farming, there was still a lot of work in the fields, and the people who had been squatting in front of Fang's house to watch the excitement had long since dispersed.

However, after leaving Fang's house, I met many curious villagers along the way.

Everyone was not familiar with Hu Bin, and seeing that he looked a bit fierce, they were too embarrassed to ask him.

However, Ye's father was miserable. He was often asked by the villagers to inquire about him along the way.

There was also the gossipy aunt who followed Father Ye all the way and asked him if Fang Jiawang was going to the town to become his son-in-law? How much betrothal gift the bride’s family will give, etc.

Father Ye smiled at everyone, then drove the donkey cart very quickly, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village.

There happened to be an open space at the entrance of the village, and no one was here at this time. Father Ye and Hu Bin stopped the donkey cart at the same time.

Hu Bin jumped out of the donkey cart neatly and thanked Father Ye with a smile:

"Boss Ye, I've worked really hard for you today. It seems like you, the matchmaker, can't get away with the thank you gift."

"No matter where you are, I can't help you."

Father Ye is very humble. The two families originally intended to get married, so his role in it is really not big.

At most, he just helped the two of them lead the way, and then the two of them got it right.

Mrs. Yan also got off the donkey cart at this time, with a smile on her face.

"Come over to Fang's house in five days to hire me, and please ask Boss Ye to spare some time to come over with you."

"Okay, of course it's no problem." Father Ye agreed happily.

At that time, Fang Jiawang asked him to be a matchmaker, and Ye's father happened to think of Hu Shengnan. He didn't expect that his first time as a matchmaker went so smoothly.

I never thought he had a talent for matchmaking.

Hu Bin reached out and patted Ye's father on the shoulder, smiling heartily.

"After I made the appointment, I agreed to give you the five taels of silver as a thank you gift to the matchmaker."

"Then thank you, Brother Hu."

Thinking of earning five taels of silver easily, Father Ye was so happy.

Five taels of silver, this was more than what he had earned from running the stall for half a month.

Mrs. Yan didn't know much about the marriage customs in Fangjiacun, so she went to find out more about it with Ye's father.

Father Ye has married both his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law, so he is very familiar with things like employment.

He didn't hide anything, and told Yan all the details and points that needed attention one by one.

The betrothal gift in the town is generally between 5 taels of silver and 10 taels of silver, while the betrothal gifts in the village are even lower, mostly around a few taels of silver.

A betrothal gift of 20 taels of silver is rare even in a town, let alone a village.

The Hu family can only say that they have a small family background and are not very rich. They don't want to be too extravagant when hiring people for dinner, and they plan to do it according to the village's standards.

It's fine if you can't find any faults, but you still have to be more careful in your life and spend your money wisely.

Hu Shengnan listened to his parents discussing the employment matter on the donkey cart. He felt a little shy, but more of it was unreal.

After coming out of Fang's house, Hu Shengnan had been in a daze. Was she really going to get married?

The two have only known each other for 20 days, but they didn't expect to be hired so soon? Something unreal.

Suddenly, she thought of Fang Jiawang's smiling face again, as if she still had a little expectation.

From now on, I can eat delicious meals every day, and there is nothing wrong with thinking about getting married.

At this time, the expressions on Hu Shengnan's face were very rich. He was confused for a while, shy for a while, and very happy for a while.

Father Ye and Mr. Yan chatted for a long time, and when the sun had set, they drove the donkey cart home.

…………

Mrs. Ye heard a lot of gossip last night, and when she woke up early in the morning, she couldn't wait to share it with others.

But the Hu family's daughter's matter has not been settled yet. What if this doesn't work out, wouldn't it ruin the daughter's reputation?

She wouldn't do such an immoral thing.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye didn't dare to tell the story.

But I feel itchy in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable all over unless I talk to someone.

Suddenly, Mrs. Ye looked at the Tang family in the back room and muttered with a cheerful smile:

"I won't tell outsiders. The little girl Qingqing will definitely be interested in the affairs of the Hu family's daughter and the Fang family's boy."

The granddaughter does embroidery at home every day and cannot see outsiders, so this matter will not spread.

Just after breakfast, Mrs. Ye happily took Xiao Qi to the Tang family to find Ye Qingqing.

Knowing that he was going to play with his younger brother, Xiao Qi was also very happy.

As soon as she reached the door, Xiao Qi shouted excitedly:

"Aunt~, Chenchen~, I'm coming!!!"

Hearing the little guy's voice, the corners of Ye Qingqing's lips unconsciously raised, but she did not get up and continued to do the embroidery.

The family doesn’t need to be too polite.

Moreover, Xiao Qi comes to play with his younger brother every now and then, and he is as familiar with the Tang family as he is at his own home.

Ye Qingqing didn't move, but Heidou and Xiaohua excitedly ran to the door to pick up Xiao Qi, their big tails wagging rapidly behind them.

"Heidou~, Xiaohua~, do you miss me~"

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

As soon as they saw the little guy, the two dogs approached him enthusiastically, sniffed the little guy first, and then started to lick his face.

"Hahaha~, itchy, itchy, black bean flower is not allowed~"

The little guy twisted around but couldn't escape, so he stretched out his little black hand and pushed the two big dogs on him.

But the strength was too weak, just like scratching an itch, and the two dogs didn't move at all.

In the end, Mrs. Ye rescued the little guy.

Xiaoqi's little black face was licked wet by the dog, as if it had just been washed.

Old Mrs. Ye took out a handkerchief, wiped his face carefully, and then pushed aside Heidou and Xiaohua who were still trying to come over.

"Aunt~, Xiaoqi is here! Do you miss me~"

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Qi ran towards Ye Qingqing.

Looking at his little nephew with unusually white teeth, Ye Qingqing laughed happily:

"Xiao Qi, why are you so dark again? If you get any darker, I won't be able to see you at night."

"Humph, my aunt is so bad~ Ignore her."

Xiao Qi, who originally stretched out her hand to hug, heard Ye Qingqing's words and immediately retracted her hand, putting her hands on her hips and staring at her with dissatisfaction.

"Hahahaha, the little guy is still angry. Xiao Qi, you are so funny."

Ye Qingqing hugged the little guy over, held him in his arms, and stretched out his hands to rub his furry little head.

Mrs. Ye looked at her granddaughter and great-grandson and smiled lovingly:

"The little guy likes to play with the children in the village recently. He runs out to play in the mud every day."

"He always comes back dirty, and your sister-in-law scolds him a lot. Your brother spends a long time bathing him every day."

Ye Qingqing glanced at Chenchen, who was sleeping soundly, and felt a little worried. As if to comfort himself, he said:

"Children are indeed naughty. It will be better when they grow up. Xilin was even more naughty when he was a child."

Thinking of Ye Xilin's childhood, Mrs. Ye had a headache and her face was filled with disgust.

"When Xilin was a child, people hated dogs. All the dogs in the village would run away when they saw him."

Ye Xilin was very naughty when he was a child. He would kick any dog ​​he saw passing by, and he would throw stones and clods at cow dung when he saw it.

He had done countless bad things, such as stealing sweet potatoes from home and roasting them, hiding behind doors to scare people, and frightening little girls with vegetable bugs. Beatings were commonplace.

"Forget about that brat Xilin, why did I come to see you for business?"

"What's the matter?"

Ye Qingqing's curiosity was suddenly aroused when he saw Mrs. Ye's mysteriousness.

Old Mrs. Ye pulled Ye Qingqing energetically and said, "You know that idle second-rate man Fang Jiawang from Fangjia Village, right?"

"I know, I heard that this guy is quite good-looking, but he just doesn't like to do serious business. What's wrong with him?"

Seeing that her grandma was here to chat with her, Ye Qingqing became excited, her big eyes shining brightly.
