The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 561 Ordinary Little Days

Last night, the three people in the Tang family ate braised pork and drank some wine, and they were all a little tipsy when they returned home.

The next day, not surprisingly, all three of them got up late.

When Tang Xiaojing opened his eyes, he found that it was already bright and the room was bright.

Taohua Village was quite lively at this time, and Tang Xiaojing lazily listened to the sound of dogs barking and roosters crowing in the distance.

Nearby, there were the laughter of children playing and playing, and women chatting excitedly about various gossips and interesting things in the village.

Tang Xiaojing got up late, not to mention Ye Qingqing, who usually likes to sleep, sleeping soundly like a little pig.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing's juicy little fleshy face. His hands were itchy and he couldn't help but pinch it twice. It felt quite good.

Ye Qingqing was sleeping soundly when he felt something moving on his face. He raised his hand in a daze and slapped Tang Xiaojing's hand away, then turned around and continued sleeping.

Tang Xiaojing pinched Ye Qingqing's little nose and laughed softly: "You little lazy boy, it's lucky that you married into our Tang family, otherwise you might have been rejected by your husband's family."

With that said, he got up quietly and made breakfast.

Tang Xiaojing opened the door and found that Tang Shan had just gotten up.

It was already late anyway, so Tangshan simply took a day off and stopped going to the town to drive cattle carts to attract customers.

Ye Qingqing woke up to the smell of breakfast. She liked this feeling very much. The smoke of breakfast gave her a sense of solid happiness.

When Ye Qingqing woke up, Da Huang and Xiao Huang were already active in the yard.

The two big guys chased each other, raising a lot of dust. Rhubarb and Xiaohuang were also dirty, and their bodies were still stained with fallen leaves from the trees.

But they didn't realize it, they were having fun. Dahuang swung hard and threw all the fallen leaves on Ye Qingqing.

"You bad guy."

Ye Qingqing slapped Dahuang's big butt. The soft touch felt quite good. Ye Qingqing couldn't help but slapped it twice more.

The rhubarb's skin was thick and thick, and it didn't hurt at all. I thought Ye Qingqing was playing with it, so I jumped twice happily, then turned around and was about to pounce on Ye Qingqing.

Fortunately, Tang Xiaojing who was passing by had quick eyesight and quick hands to intercept the crazy Dahuang. Ye Qingqing's small body could not withstand Dahuang's forceful pounce.

Ye Qingqing patted Dahuang's big, fluffy head and said maliciously:

"Big Yellow and Little Yellow are almost turning into little black dogs. Why don't you take them to the river to take a bath?"

Tang Xiaojing looked at Dahuang and Xiaohuang. They were indeed a little dirty and smelled a bit.

"The river water is not so cold in the afternoon. I will take them to wash in the afternoon."

The two big guys were dirty, and Ye Qingqing couldn't stand it. "Bring some soap locust and give them a rub."

Tang Xiaojing smiled and said, "You have raised them as children."

"I raised them with my own hands."

When Dahuang and Xiaohuang were little puppies, they stayed at Ye's house every day during the day. It would be correct to say that Ye Qingqing raised them single-handedly.

Ye Qingqing indeed took care of them as if they were children.

After breakfast, Ye Qingqing went back to the house to do embroidery. The father and son actively dried the honeysuckle and cleaned the yard again.

With nothing to do, the father and son went down to the cellar together to pack up the dry goods at home.

After half a year, I have stored 896 kilograms of dried mushrooms at home, and an additional 98 kilograms of morels and gallinobacteria, which are more expensive.

On the other side of the cellar, there were a lot of bacon piled up, including 32 bacon chickens and 126 bacon rabbits.

Tang Xiaojing and Tangshan weighed the chickens and found that the total number of bacon chickens was 60 kilograms and the rabbits were 450 kilograms.

These cured chickens and rabbits are all pheasants and hares that were hunted back from the two hills at home.

Tang Xiaojing took his family's long-term workers and dug a lot of traps on the two hills. Every morning and afternoon, the family's long-term workers would go up the mountain to check.

If there were big animals like wild goats and deer, Tang Xiaojing would send them to restaurants in the county.

If there were only small things like pheasants and hares, Tang Xiaojing was too lazy to go to the county and made them into cured chickens and rabbits.

In addition to cured meat and dried mushrooms, there are also sun-dried honeysuckle in the cellar.

Unlike the Ye family who planted the mountains full of honeysuckle, the two hills of the Tang family were mainly planted with medicinal herbs, and there were only some wild honeysuckle on the mountains.

The first crop of honeysuckle weighs about 85 kilograms after drying. The second crop of honeysuckle needs to be dried for another two or three days and weighs about 70 kilograms when dried.

Finally, there are some ordinary but large quantities of cheap herbs.

These herbs were grown by Tang Xiaojing at the foot of two hills. When he went up the mountain, he would pick some that could be used as medicine and prepare them.

These herbs were not expensive, and Tang Xiaojing was too lazy to go to the county, so he threw them all in the cellar for storage.

Now when I look at it, I see it weighs two to three hundred pounds.

Although these herbs only cost more than [-] taels of silver per catty, they are large and can be sold for several taels of silver.

Tang Xiaojing planned to send the rabbit to the Liang Family Restaurant tomorrow, along with the first batch of honeysuckle and these common herbs to the Wang Family Pharmacy.

As for the dried mushrooms, cured chicken, and cured rabbit, after yesterday's cured meat is ready, they will be shipped to the dock to be sold together.

"Dong dong dong..."

As soon as the father and son came up from the cellar, they heard a knock on the door.

Tang Xiaojing opened the door, and it turned out to be his aunt in the next room, Tang Yilin's wife, Aunt Hehua.

"Hello, Aunt Hehua."

"Boy Jing, your uncle came back from digging a lot of bamboo shoots this morning. Thinking that there is no bamboo forest on your mountain, I brought some for you."

"Thank you, Auntie. Auntie, please come in and have a cup of tea."

Tang Xiaojing took the basket from his aunt's back. It was quite heavy and contained half of the basket of bamboo shoots.

Aunt Hehua smiled heartily, "There are many things at home, so I won't go in. I have to go back to work in a hurry."

When Tang Xiaojing saw that someone was in a hurry to go back, he dumped the bamboo shoots on the ground and handed the basket to Aunt Hehua.

Ye Qingqing heard the movement in the front yard, put down the needle and thread in his hand and came out, just in time to see Tang Xiaojing holding a lot of bamboo shoots.

"A lot of bamboo shoots, who sent them here?"

"Uncle Yilin dug a lot of bamboo shoots this morning and Aunt Hehua brought some over."

Last night, Ye Qingqing saw that there were still 7 big bones in the well, and the family could not finish them all, so he sent 3 big bones and a bowl of braised pork. These bamboo shoots should be a return gift.

Tang Yilin's grandfather and Tangshan's grandfather were brothers. The Tang family was very thin, and now this family was the only relative left.

The Ye family was originally neighbors with the Tang Yilin brothers. Ye's father, Tang Yilin, and the Tang Erlin brothers grew up together, so their relationship was already very good.

Now that they are relatives again, the relationship between Ye Qingqing and Tang Yilin's family is even better.

Ye Qingqing looked at the bamboo shoots in Tang Xiaojing's arms and said happily: "We are almost done with the sour bamboo shoots at home. There are so many bamboo shoots that we can make a new jar of sour bamboo shoots."

So the Tang family's father and son, who were resting at home, were summoned by Ye Qingqing again.

The three of them worked for more than an hour and made a large jar full of sour bamboo shoots, which was enough for the Tang family to eat for a month or two.
