Chapter 051
Ye Damin has read books, and he also worked as a shopkeeper in the town for two years when he was in his hometown in Shudi, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen some of the world.
However, in the eyes of Father Ye, it is still not enough.
When I was in Shudi, I went the farthest to the county seat, and when the family had a foot in Hongfeng Village, I went to Qingzhou Mansion twice, but every time I came and went in a hurry.
I have seen little of the world, my vision is not wide enough, and my mind is even simpler.
What Ye Damin can see is the benefits that Uncle Lin personally came to sign a contract with his family, and as for other possibilities, he shouldn't have thought much about it.
After listening to Father Ye's words at this time, Ye Damin also didn't think deeply, and saw that there were not many bamboo strips and rattan stored at home, so he went to the study and called Ye Qing and Ye Zhan to go into the mountains to cut bamboo and rattan together.
Since signing the contract with the Lin family, the frequency of the father and son entering the mountain has increased significantly.
Whether it is bamboo or rattan, there are a number of them, and you can't cut all the bamboo and rattan in one place, so you can only cut more and more to the mountains, which is more time-consuming and laborious than before.
Seeing Ye Damin, who had no other thoughts, take his two sons into the mountain, Father Ye couldn't help but sigh.
It is impossible to count on Ye Damin to revitalize the Ye family, so he can only pin his hopes on a few grandchildren.
The cultivation of several grandsons had to be put on the agenda quickly, especially the cultivation of Ye Shen, who was named by Master Huijue.
It's just that Ye Shen is still young, even if he wants to be enlightened, he has to wait until the spring of next year, so the first to put on the agenda are naturally the two eldest grandsons.
Recently, as long as Xie Huang came to the Ye family, Father Ye would ask him about the private school and school in the town, and he had also personally gone to Chiba Town to investigate, but he was still a little uncertain.
There are three private schools in Chiba Town, as well as a school funded by Fang Yuan's family.
Through understanding, Father Ye felt that each had its own merits, of course, he was most optimistic about the private school that Xie Huang once studied.
Xie Huang's failure to read it does not mean that the master of the private school is incompetent.
Most of the talents that have come out of Chiba Town over the years have come from this private school.
Of course, the Shuyo of this private school is also the highest among all the private schools and schools in Chiba Town, and the master is also quite strict with the entrance exams and requirements for the children who go to school.
Father Ye silently calculated the existing money in the family in his heart, in addition to the necessary expenses of the family, it is indeed a little difficult for the existing money to bear the private school of his two grandchildren.
But......
Father Ye set his eyes on the fruit trees planted on the slope outside the small courtyard, and finally made up his mind.
The matter of sending the two eldest grandsons to school can not be delayed any longer, and the expenses that can be pushed back a little bit will be pushed back as much as possible, and they will be sent to study in the opportunity of the private school to expand its enrollment in the fall.
Father Ye couldn't be more idle when he thought about it like this, put down the cigarette pouch in his hand, stood up and walked to the corner where the farm tools were placed, he planned to take a hoe and go to the field to have a look.
As the weather got hotter and the fruit riped, he had to arrange the harvest in advance.
Through Xie Huang, who was the second shopkeeper in Chiba Town, the fruits of the Ye family were not booked except for the grapes of a few vines specially designated by Ye Shen and Lin Wan, and the other fruits had already been found to be home, just waiting for the fruits to ripen and send them to Chiba Town.
There are naturally pros and cons to doing so.
The advantage is that the Ye family no longer needs to sell the fruit by themselves, which saves trouble and worry and perfectly avoids the word "business".
The disadvantage is that the price is relatively low.
For Father Ye, who is bent on letting his grandchildren take the road of studying for the imperial examination, this is the best choice.
Father Ye walked to the corner where the farm tools were placed but stopped, because he found two discarded clay pots in this corner.
The two pots were planted with neither flowers nor grass, and two old trees that had been pruned.
Father Ye naturally knew that one of them was the old plum tree that Ye Shen begged to enter the mountain that day, and finally took Ye Zhan to dig it back for him, and the other was the old pine tree that Ye Damin dug back for Lin Wan.
Although he knew the origin of these two trees, when he saw them again, he surprised Father Ye.
The two old trees have obviously been artificially pruned, and there is a big difference from when they were first dug up.
"Grandpa, this is mine, it's my sister's. I repaired it with my sister, isn't it beautiful? Ye Shen's slightly proud voice suddenly came from beside him.
Looking down at the two little dots who appeared at his feet at some point, he saw two delicate little faces looking at him intently with the same expression, Father Ye couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "Well, it's good-looking." It's a pity to put it in this corner, do you want Grandpa to help you move to the house? ”
Ye Shen glanced at Lin Wan with some hesitation, and finally raised his head to look at Father Ye and said, "Grandpa, put it here and don't move for now." I asked my father to dig a tree like this for me and my sister, and when my sister and I will dig the newly dug tree like this, in front of my house, at the door of my sister's yard, it must be beautiful! ”
Ye Shen begged Ye Damin to help him dig up this old plum tree, in order to make money, he naturally had to find the right time to put it in a place that some people could see at a glance, and it was naturally not possible to put it back in the house.
Lin Wan's old pine tree was dug up by Lin Wan in the crack of the stone behind the slope with Ye Qing.
Everyone thought that Lin Wan was learning from him and tossing with him.
Even Ye Shen had such an idea, he really didn't have any idea what Lin Wan could prune this old pine tree into.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that this old pine tree had a different style after Lin Wan's "random cutting".
He once carefully observed Lin Wan's pruning techniques, and found that her pruning of pine trees was really disorderly, basically it can be said that she would cut everything here today and repair it there tomorrow, but after a few days, the old pine trees were "indiscriminately" pruned by her to their current appearance, and they looked even more interesting than his old plum trees.
"Grandpa, Second Uncle Xie said yesterday that such a tree may be able to make a lot of money." Father Ye was about to pick up the hoe, but when he heard Ye Shen say again, his heart couldn't help jumping, remembering the bonsai he had seen in the rich and noble house before, and he couldn't help but taste it carefully.
This look really made Daddy Ye, who had some knowledge, see the possibility of making money!
The next time the Lin family comes, maybe you can try to put these two trees out and show their faces.
For Ye Shen thinking about making money, a sense of crisis arose in Daddy Ye's heart.
In his eyes, the three grandsons are all smart and clever, but the most optimistic thing for him is Ye Shen, after all, it is only Ye Shen who has been criticized by Master Huijue!
Fortunately, Ye Shen is still young, and he can always bring him back to the right path!
