"This time, the county helped match the bridge, and the cotton harvested was several times that of the original, so I went to the provincial capital in advance to sell the repatriation funds."

Yan Mu brushed it over, and didn't plan to explain all the causes and consequences to Ye Hong, so as to save her from worrying.

"Oh, your dad can still have the heart to follow the convoy to the provincial capital, and I guess what happened last night won't have a big impact on him." Ye Hong's hanging heart was immediately put down.

After all, after 20 years of husband and wife, she knows her husband better than herself, and her husband is good anywhere, but if she has something in her heart, it is like losing her soul, how can she still work with peace of mind.

Thinking that her mother-in-law was not her mother-in-law, Ye Hong's mood improved, and she couldn't wait to tell her mother-in-law about it.

She took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to Yan Mu: "You go to the vegetable market to cut some meat, and when I come back, my clothes are washed and dried, let's go back to grandma's house for dinner today." ”

"Good!" Yan Mu took the money and was about to go to the Leichi Market, but was stopped by Ye Hong, "You better wait for me, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, I'll pull two pieces of cloth for your grandma to make clothes, and then bring some things to your aunt and cousins." ”

It is not easy to go to the city this year, many old people have never stepped into the county until they die, and they will do the New Year's goods before the New Year every year, and the old and young in the family will have the opportunity to go to the county together.

Ye Hong was filial and had a heart, but she used to have a difficult life, so she rarely went back to her parents' house, so she was embarrassed to go back empty-handed.

But now she can also make money, and she has earned four or five hundred yuan in just over a week by setting up a stall, and the pure gross profit has a profit of three hundred yuan, so she is naturally generous.

Yan Mu is in his eyes and happy in his heart.

The generous mother is much happier than the mother who picks up.

So Ye Hong is willing to spend money, Yan Mu is not distressed at all, as long as her mother is happy, it is better than being able to quarrel with the landlord for a dollar of water bills in her previous life.

Waiting for Ye Hong to dry her clothes and quilts, she changed into really good clothes, carried her bag, led her children to Leichi Market, bought things for everyone in her mother's family, cut meat, weighed moon cakes, and took a minibus back to her parents' house in a beautiful manner.

Yezhuang Village, the old Ye family.

The new house has almost been built, waiting for the upper beam to be capped on August 18, and after the white putty is scraped in the house, you can move into the new house.

After moving into the new house, the south house and kitchen where I live now will be demolished, and two rooms will be rebuilt, one will be reserved for Ye Shizu's marriage, and a kitchen and utility room will be separated, and the building of the house will be completed.

Although Ye Shilong and Ye Shicheng did not follow to harvest cotton, they did not worry less about contributing at home, and the materials for building the house were bought by the brothers themselves, not to mention the good quality and low price, they also worked behind the mason, saving the wages of two people.

The 10,000 yuan for building a house is still 3,000 yuan, which is enough to keep to build a south house and a kitchen.

Not only that, but the work in the field was not delayed at all, from mid-August to the present, 1,500 catties of cotton were harvested, and after being sold to Ye Shizu, 900 yuan of cotton money was settled.

The days are good, and the family is happy.

Li Fangzhi was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with a broom when she heard the magpie chirping in the pomegranate tree in front of the door.

She muttered to her second daughter-in-law, Liu Chun, who was picking cotton heads: "Magpie branches in the morning, our family is going to have guests come to the door today!" ”

Liu Chun said with a smile: "Mom, since the younger brother has partnered with others to harvest cotton, are there still fewer guests who come to our house every day?" ”

Li Fangzhi smiled, and after sweeping the leaves in the yard, she saw that it was not early, and shouted at the house: "Third daughter-in-law, it's time to cook lunch." ”

Xu Pingxiang was sewing a quilt in the house, and when she heard her mother-in-law's shouts, she immediately put down the needle and quilt, picked up her apron and walked out of the house.

"Mom, it's only about ten o'clock, isn't it too early to cook lunch?"

Li Fangzhi shook her head, "It's not early, the second child went to the field to pick cotton before dawn for three days, and it would be good to let them eat ready-made food when they got home, so as not to wait for hungry food." ”

"Good!" Xu Pingxiang didn't bother anymore and went into the kitchen to cook lunch.

Li Fangzhi was idle, so she went to the new house again, swept up the scraps of wood left over from the beaten furniture, and prepared to take them to the kitchen to burn them later.

When Ye Hong arrived home with her children carrying large bags and small bags, it was already half past eleven.

"Mom!"

"Grandma!"

The three of them spoke together, and Li Fangzhi heard the movement and walked out of the new room, and stepped forward with a smile: "I said that the magpie kept calling in the morning, it turned out that my eldest daughter went back to her parents' house to visit relatives." ”

Liu Chun also stood up and shouted, "Sister! ”

Ye Hong agreed, and said with a smile: "Chun, come and help me get something into the house." ”

Liu Chun stepped forward quickly, took the big bag and small bag in Ye Hong's hand, thinking that the eldest sister went back to her parents' house to buy a lot of things this time, and I don't know if she has a share.

Li Fangzhi also helped to get a few bags, happy and distressed: "I told you, don't buy anything when you go home, how much does it cost to buy so many things?" ”

Ye Hong said with a smile: "It didn't cost much, isn't it going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back in a hurry, so I came back with a gift in advance!" Pingxiang and the second and third brothers, what about them? ”

"Cooking! Your second brother and third brother went to the field to pick cotton early in the morning, and they should be back soon! ”

A few people walked into the house, and the already low room suddenly became more crowded with three more people.

Ye Hong piled all the things she bought on the table, first picked out the clothes and shoes she bought for Li Fangzhi, and handed her a pearl necklace.

Li Fangzhi complained in her mouth, but she was happy in her heart.

Even Liu Chun couldn't help but praise when he stood aside: "Mom, you look so good wearing this pearl necklace, just like those noble old ladies on TV!" ”

Li Fangzhi, who was coaxed in a word, couldn't close her mouth.

Ye Hong caught a glimpse of the envy in Liu Chun's eyes, took out a really good flower skirt from a pile of bags and handed it to Liu Chun, "Well, this is for you, don't you like this kind of floral skirt the most." ”

Liu Chun was flattered, took the skirt and gestured on himself, squinting and smiling: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Ye Hong also bought a set of clothes for the third brother and sister, but the third brother and sister Xu Pingxiang didn't like to wear skirts, so she bought a set of matching gowns and pants in the store, and distributed the shirts she bought for her younger brothers, as well as Ye Tinghe, Ye Liu and Ye Tingjiang, the three little guys, who were also dressed in new clothes and canvas shoes in autumn.

Xu Pingxiang cooked the food and entered the house, and after receiving the gift, she couldn't wait to try on the new clothes.

In addition to clothes and shoes, Ye Hong also cut five catties of pork, three pieces of sesame moon cakes, chicken cakes and mung bean cakes.

There was a lot of joy in the low tiled house.

Yan Mu and Yan Qing sat on the side, but they had nothing to do, so they could only wait for the meal to start.

Seeing that they were all rushing to try on new clothes, Li Fangzhi hurriedly pulled Ye Hong to the door and asked, "Xiaohong, why did you buy so many things this time?" Spending so much money, do you know? ”

"He doesn't know, but it's okay if he does!" As soon as Ye Hong finished speaking, she was complained by Li Fangzhi.

"You girl, how can you spend so much money, I don't like this pearl necklace, you better take it back and return it, buy the rest of the things, but don't buy it again in the future!"
