The happy little days of the Ye family

Hu Shengnan and Hu Bin hurried out with a group of kids from the martial arts gym, all rushing to go home for lunch.

Ever since Fang Jiawang got married, both father and daughter have been naughty. Now it would be fatal to eat the food cooked by Yan.

However, the father and daughter only dared to complain secretly in their hearts, but did not dare to say it in front of Yan, otherwise they would be beaten.

Although Hu Shengnan is a girl, she has been naughty and mischievous with several cousins ​​since she was a child, and she has been beaten frequently.

Fang Jiawang counted the time, and as soon as he put the food on the table, the father and daughter entered the house with cheerful steps.

Steaming fish head and tofu stew, oily braised fish cubes, and refreshing stir-fried Chinese cabbage.

Seeing that today's lunch was so rich, Hu Bin happily went back to the house and brought out half a bottle of wine.

“This braised fish fillet looks delicious, and it’s perfect to go with wine.”

Yan on the side directly broke the situation and said: "You just say it if you are greedy. Why are you making excuses?"

"My good wife, you can see through things without telling them."

The Hu family are all good drinkers, whether it is Aunt Hu who is married, or Yan, Hu Sheng, mother and daughter, they all have good drinkers.

Hu Bin poured half a glass of pear wine for everyone. He and his daughter were going to the martial arts gym in the afternoon, so the two of them didn't dare to drink more, so they only had a small taste.

But Fang Jiawang didn't have so many scruples. He ate braised fish nuggets and drank several glasses of wine in a row.

"You have a good drinking capacity. They say that one family does not belong to the same family. You are destined to be a member of our Hu family."

"That's necessary. Dad, please pour me another glass."

Fang Jiawang put the empty wine glass in front of Hu Bin with a smile.

When Hu Bin saw that Fang Jiawang had drank several glasses of wine, he happily poured him another glass as if nothing happened.

"When it comes to drinking capacity, Dad, you are the best. I am not even half as drunk as Dad."

Fang Jiawang picked up the wine glass and felt as if he had smeared honey in his mouth.

Fang Jiawang is sweet-tongued and can coax people. He usually sings and drinks with Hu Bin and Hu Shengnan's cousins.

Of course, he doesn't drink for free. Every time he makes two side dishes to go with the wine.

Most of the money that Fang Jiawang saved in the past was used to buy wine, and the wine he drank was still the worst.

But since I came to the Hu family, I could drink good wine at will without spending any money, and my life was so happy.

After lunch, there was still half a bowl of tofu fish head left on the table, and the other braised fish pieces and cabbage had all been eaten.

Hu's family is small and there are not many dishes and chopsticks, so Yan can wash them in a few times.

Fang Jiawang brought a few glasses of honey water over, and they sat and chatted together to sober up.

This honey was collected in the mountains before Fang Jiawang got married, and he sent a large jar to the Hu family.

However, people in the Hu family like to drink, and the honey water is almost running out. Fang Jiawang plans to go back to the village in a few days to look for wild honey in the mountains.

"I bought 8 chicks this morning. I will raise them until the Mid-Autumn Festival next year and they will probably be able to lay eggs."

"This chicken is good for laying eggs and eating meat, but it's just too tasty."

Yan also agrees to raise more chickens, but the food to feed the chickens is a problem.

Everything in town costs money, and just feeding these little guys every day costs a lot of money.

Fang Jiawang thought about it, but he still thought too simply. In the village, you could still kill hogweed and catch bugs to feed the chickens, but now you can't do that in the town.

After thinking for a while, Fang Jiawang said again:

"How about I plant a small patch of sweet potato in the open space in the yard. The leaves of the sweet potato grow quickly and can be used to feed the chickens. This way I can save some food."

"That's a good idea, but you have a smart mind."

The food problem was solved, and Mrs. Yan even wanted to have a few more chickens.

The two were chatting happily when Hu Bin and Hu Shengnan were already dozing off.

The Hu family had the habit of taking naps. Seeing that the father and daughter's heads were shaking, they simply went back to their houses.

Back in the house, Hu Shengnan became more awake.

Although she was dozing off just now, she listened to some of it and knew that Fang Jiawang spent a lot of money today.

It cost 40 Wen to buy the chickens. In the future, I would have to buy grain to feed the chickens, so I gave Fang Jiawang an additional 100 Wen.

"Thank you, madam!" Fang Jiawang took the money and smiled very flatteringly.

In the Hu family, Yan was in charge of the old couple's money. As for him and Hu Shengnan, Hu Shengnan was naturally in charge of their money.

Although Fang Jiawang doesn't care about money, he actually knows how much money his family has.

Hu Bin teaches boxing and kicking to older children in a martial arts school and earns 1 tael and 5 yuan a month.

Yan usually makes some purses and handkerchiefs and sells them, and can earn two to three hundred cash a month.

Moreover, Hu Bin also bought a small shop a few years ago. Although it was not big, the rent was 600 Wen per month.

Hu Bin and Yan must have saved some money over the years.

The two got married and became a family. Hu Shengnan talked to him about his family background very candidly.

Hu Shengnan has been teaching younger children in a martial arts school since he was 16 years old, earning one tael of silver a month.

Hu Bin and Yan loved their daughter, and she took all the wages herself.

Hu Shengnan didn't spend any money on food and drink at home, and Yan's clothes were made for her. She basically saved all her wages at the martial arts gym.

After 3 years, I have saved 32 taels of silver.

However, Hu Shengnan insisted on paying for the 20-tael betrothal gift for the Fang family and other expenses for the wedding.

22 taels of silver were spent here. When Fang Jiawang married in, Hu Shengnan still had 10 taels of silver in his hand.

The money doesn't look like much, but Hu Shengnan is still teaching children in a martial arts school, and he earns one or two silver a month.

Even if we don't rely on the old couple, life will not be bad in the future.

Hu Shengnan was very generous. Not only did he not let Fang Jiawang go out to work to support his family, he also gave him an allowance of 60 Wen every month.

Hu Bin and Hu Shengnan each gave 300 Wen per month to buy groceries.

Fang Jiawang is very good at living and can save dozens of coins every month.

Not only has he not used his private money these days, he can actually save a hundred and eighty cents every month.

After putting the money away, Fang Jiawang took a nap with Hu Shengnan in his arms with a smile.

After drinking a lot of wine at noon, when the Fang family was getting prosperous, the sun was already setting. Hu Shengnan didn't know when he got up.

When we came to the yard, the big chickens and little chickens in the chicken coop were chirping non-stop.

Fang Jiawang quickly mixed some chicken food and poured it into the basin, and then the little guys stopped.

Coming out of the chicken coop, Fang Jiawang saw that it was not time to cook yet, so he started tinkering in the kitchen to make candied haws.

The hawthorn used for making candied haws was picked by Fang Damao and Fang Ermao on the mountain in the village. They brought it to the Hu family during the big market two days ago.

Fang Jiawang thought that there were quite a few children in the martial arts gym, and if these little guys could come to learn martial arts, they would definitely not be short of money.

I couldn’t finish all the hawthorns at home, so I decided to make some candied haws to see if I could sell them.
