The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 552 Li Xianger

Ye Mu looked at Ye Qingqing, "Qingqing, didn't you say that Hangzhou merchants would stay at the dock for several days?"

"Then did he say when he would go back? Can we still find someone if we go there tomorrow?"

There are too many variables after two months, and Ye Mu wants to go there and have a look early, even if she doesn’t want to buy it.

If you have something suitable and make a reservation in advance, you can bring the things over next time.

Ye Qingqing shook his head, "When I was shopping yesterday, there were not many things on the stall."

Ye Qingqing took the piece of white silk and said, "There is only the last piece of white silk left, and there are also a few bundles of embroidery thread left. I probably went back after selling all the things yesterday."

When Ye Qingqing went there yesterday, there were not many things left on the stall, otherwise she would have taken her mother to the pier today.

There was too much white silk, and Ye Qingqing couldn't use it all by herself. She looked at Ye Mu and Li and said:

"Mom, second aunt, I can't use so much of this white silk alone. Do you want it? If so, let's share it equally."

Mother Ye and Mrs. Li have been coveting this fine white silk for a long time, and there is no way they would be dissatisfied.

Ye Mu said cheerfully: "Yes, this white silk is not easy to preserve. It will turn yellow after being stored for a long time. You can't use so much by yourself."

Ye Qingqing went back to the house, took out the scissors, and cut the fabric into three parts, giving each of Ye Mu, Li and Ye Qingqing one piece.

Mrs. Li and Mother Ye each took out one or two six cents of silver and gave it to Ye Qingqing. Ye Qingqing was beaming when she got the money. She also made a little money.

After dividing the white silk, Grandma Ye took a look at Ye Qingqing's latest embroidery, nodded frequently and praised:

"Qingqing's embroidery is getting better and better. It's much better than when your mother was young. Your mother is just too lazy."

Mother Ye was unconvinced, "Mom, I don't want you to flatter me and step on me like this."

Grandma Ye joked: "Who made you fail to live up to your expectations? Fortunately, Qingqing did not follow you."

Ye Qingmei was very envious when she saw the embroidery made by Ye Qingqing. Now she can only make simple purses and handkerchiefs.

Shopkeeper Yang gave Ye Qingqing some large pieces of cloth, and she picked out a few pieces of softer cloth.

"Qingmei, these pieces of fabric are cotton, soft and sweat-absorbent. You can use the baby in your belly to make clothes."

Ye Qingmei took the cloth and said happily: "Okay, then I will thank my cousin for the baby."

The few people sat for a while and then went back. After all, there were a lot of things at home, and Mother Ye and Mrs. Li also had to go back to do embroidery.

Ye Qingqing was busy doing embroidery at home, while Li Guoer was busy going into the mountains to look for traces of the Plum Blossom Road.

The last time Li Guoer went up the mountain with Li Feng and Li He, the three of them shot two big and two small wild boars, a total of four wild boars.

One big wild boar and two small wild boars were both shot by Li Guoer. For these three wild boars, Li Guoer could get [-]% of the money.

The three wild boars were sold for a total of 5 taels of silver. According to Yang, 2 taels of silver were Li Guoer's private money.

On the night when Li Feng came back from selling his prey, Li Guoer got two taels of silver from Yang.

With two taels of silver in hand, Li Guoer was so happy. This was the first time she had received so much silver.

Li Guoer only has 30 coins of pocket money a month. These two taels of silver are equivalent to her 66 months of pocket money.

Li Guoer estimated that the herbs she was looking for when she went into the mountains to look for sika deer were worth two taels of silver, and she could get another 800 yuan of private money here.

Compared to her small treasury of 31 yuan, this is a huge sum of money.

However, the herbal medicine has not been prepared yet, and it will take a few days to get it to the drug store to sell it, but the money will not escape after all.

Thinking of this, the smile on Li Guoer's face became even brighter.

In the evening, Li Guoer received the two taels of silver given to her by Yang, and early the next morning she went to Yang Guo's small grocery store owned by her brother-in-law.

Yang's grocery store is much smaller than Ye's grocery store. Most of the items inside are cheap daily necessities, and many of them are incomplete.

Li Guoer came to Yang's house. The village chief and Yang Guo were not at home. Only Li Xianger was at home to take care of the children and take care of the grocery store at home.

Li Guoer bought some shredded tobacco and a pound of bulk rice wine for his father, and also bought a pound of candy.

As for fabrics, Li Guoer plans to go to town to buy them later. There are more fabric styles in town, but the fabrics at her sister's house are not good-looking.

Li Guoer spent 32 Wen at Yang's grocery store in one fell swoop, and her monthly pocket money was gone.

Li Xiang'er was a little strange, "You spend all your monthly pocket money here, and your mother has deducted half of this month's pocket money. Where did you get so much money?"

Li Xiang'er knew the situation at home. The pocket money of her three younger siblings was basically spent on snacks from the grocery store.

"Mom is so stingy, she definitely won't give you money. Dad is probably even poorer than you."

Li Xiang'er put one hand on her waist and twisted Li Guo'er's ears with the other, asking: "Where did you get the money?"

"Sister, it hurts. Please be gentle, my ear is about to fall off." Li Guoer's ears hurt, but she didn't dare to push her sister away.

"Stop talking nonsense and explain quickly, where did the money come from? What bad things did you do?"

"I didn't do anything bad. Didn't I get engaged to Xilin? I..."

Before Li Guo'er could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Xiang'er, "Li Guo'er, you have grown up, and you want money from a boy from the Ye family?"

As he spoke, the hand holding Li Guoer's ear became harder.

"No, no, sister, please listen to me. This money was given to me by my mother. She said that I am going to get married soon. From now on until we get married, I can keep [-]% of the money I earn for personal use."

Li Xiang'er let go of her hand, slapped Li Guo'er and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't even give me a chance to say it."

Li Guoer murmured in a low voice, not daring to let her sister hear it for fear of getting beaten again.

As the eldest sister, Li Xiang'er raised the three younger brothers and sisters in the family.

Although she did not inherit Li Orion's strength, she followed the Yang family and was a good housekeeper, managing Li Guoer and the three of them obediently.

Li Feng, Li Guo'er and Li He had been brought up under her supervision since they were young. Li Xiang'er's status in the Li family was second only to Yang's, and she was more effective in speaking than Li Orion.

Li Xiang'er received the money and told Li Guo'er, "You got all your private money from hunting in the mountains through hard work, so don't spend it randomly."

"These things are all bought for my family. I won't talk about you anymore. If you dare to spend money randomly in the future, be careful I will slap you."

"I know, sister, you are getting more and more verbose."

After saying that, Li Guoer was like a mouse seeing a cat, carrying her things and running away, for fear of being beaten by her sister if it was too late.

Li Xiang'er looked at her sister's running back, put her hands on her hips and cursed:

"Li Guo'er, I think your skin is itchy. Don't let me see you next time. I'll spank you until your butt blossoms."

"I'm not afraid of you."

Seeing that her sister couldn't hit her anymore, Li Guoer boldly provoked Li Xianger from a distance.

Li Xiang'er threw a piece of firewood out and was so frightened that Li Guo'er quickly ran away.

Her sister is so fierce.
