Chapter 43: The Mother's Family

"By the way, what about Erlang?" Ye Yunshu looked around, but he didn't see Ye Yunzhong's figure, usually when he came back, this kid must be the first to run up.

"Went out to play. Chen Yunniang smiled, "I brought a group of village children to catch vegetable insects." ”

Ye Yunshu couldn't help laughing, "It's quite serious." ”

"It's not for your hibiscus cake yet. ”

"That's what motivates me. Ye Yunshu smiled and took Chen Yunniang's hand, "By the way, let's send Erlang to the private school in the county next year." ”

"Go to private school?" Chen Yunniang and Ye Zhengwen said in unison.

"Yes. Ye Yunshu nodded, "Erlang will be six years old soon, although my father also teaches him occasionally, but in the end, he still teaches a lot in private schools, and he is wise and sensible in reading, and Erlang can't always go wild in the village." ”

Ye Zhengwen also nodded, he had also thought of sending Ye Yun to the private school at the beginning, but at that time, the family was really difficult, let alone sent to the private school, even if he didn't dare to eat food.

Later, Xiao Mingting came, and he quit the bookkeeping work in the restaurant to help sell steamed buns.

Last month, Ye Yunshu earned eight taels of silver and gave Xiao Mingting two taels, and when the rest was handed over to him and Chen Yunniang, they didn't ask for either.

The girls earned it themselves, that is the girl's, they are not so cheeky, licking their faces and asking for their daughter's hard-earned money.

Ye Yunshu saw that the two of them didn't want it, so he said that he would pay the salary, five hundred wen per person, and directly gave one or two pieces of silver to Chen Yunniang.

So, now the two of them have money in their hands.

"We'll see next year. Ye Zhengwen didn't respond in one bite, I don't know how my daughter's baked cake business is, if it's not good, then I won't send Erlang next year.

Ye Yunshu knew Ye Zhengwen's worries, and he didn't continue to persuade her, anyway, she would know what was going on with her baked cake business in a few days.

The next day, Ye Yunshu took out all the dried plum vegetables pickled in spring, cut a little pork belly, put ginger and onion spices, and fried them in oil.

Wrapped in the filling to make plum dried vegetable baked cakes, and baked a stove of white flour baked cakes, marinated a pot of pork belly, and made a meat sandwich bun.

Although it is not authentic, it is a novelty, even Xiao Mingting has never eaten it, and the family is full of praise for it.

As soon as he ate it, a shout sounded outside the courtyard gate.

"Big sister!

"It seems to be the second brother. Chen Yunniang said, put down the meat bun in her hand, and quickly stood up.

"You slow down. Ye Zhengwen also got up, "I'll open the door." ”

Ye Yunshu and the three of them glanced at each other, put down the baked cake in their hands, and followed Ye Zhengwen and Chen Yunniang towards the courtyard gate.

Ye Zhengwen opened the courtyard door, and standing outside the door were the second child of the Chen family and Chen Yu.

"Mother, second brother, why are you here?" Chen Yunniang was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Grandma, second uncle!" Ye Yunshu and Ye Yunzhong called in unison.

Ye Yunzhong ran forward, and the second child of the Chen family picked him up, laughing and quipping: "Ouch, Erlang, you are a lot heavier, huh...... The piglets are ready to be released. ”

Ye Yun pouted heavily, "Second uncle, I'm not a pig." ”

"Hahaha. Chen Lao Er smiled and pinched Ye Yunzhong's cheek, "It's still an angry little pig." ”

Ye Yunzhong: ......

Why do you love to pinch his face?

"Last time Xue Niang came back and said that you were pregnant, I estimated that it was three months, right? Chen Yu's has been worried during this time, but the two villages are too far away, and it is not easy to come to the door in less than three months, and now he sees his daughter's ruddy face, which is better than looking at it during the New Year, and the big stone in his heart has finally been put down.

"Mother, it's the daughter who is not filial, which makes the mother worried. Chen Yunniang's eyes were red, and she looked guilty.

Chen Yushi patted the back of Chen Yunniang's hand and said, "How can you be a mother who doesn't worry about your children? ”

Chen Yu said and looked at Xiao Mingting again, and asked, "This is the kid who is married to the big girl, right?"

"Grandma is good, second uncle is good. Xiao Mingting stepped forward, "I am Yun Shu's fiancΓ©, and the two elders can call me Mingting." ”

Ye Yunshu heard Xiao Mingting's self-introduction, and for some reason, he felt a little embarrassed.

When the second child of the Chen family saw it, he began to joke with Ye Yunshu again, "Yo, Yunshu girl, is this shy? Oh, the big girl in our family who is not afraid of heaven and earth is actually shy, it's really rare!"

As soon as the second child of the Chen family said this, Ye Yunshu's face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "Second uncle!"

The second child of the Chen family laughed.

"Mother-in-law, second brother, let's go into the house and talk. Ye Zhengwen also had a smile on his face.

A few people entered the house, and there were still plum dried vegetable baked cakes and meat sandwich buns made by Ye Yunshu on the table.

"Grandma, second uncle, this is my new baked cake, you can taste it. Ye Yunshu said, pulled the two to sit down, and gave the two of them to taste.

Chen Yushi and the second child of the Chen family each took a bite, their eyes lit up, they looked at Ye Yunshu, and said in surprise: "Big girl, what did you do?"

"Hmm. Ye Yunshu nodded, "I'm going to sell it in the county." ”

"Delicious. Chen Lao Er nodded again and again, "If you go to the county, it will definitely sell well." ”

"Thank you, second uncle!" Ye Yunshu smiled sweetly.

"Our big girl has grown up. Chen Yushi looked at Ye Yunshu and sighed, then turned his head to look at Chen Yunniang, "Last time, your little sister came back and said that the tofu was the idea of the big girl, I don't believe it yet, today is an eye-opener." ”

Chen Yunniang also had a look of pity, "This girl has a lot of ideas when she is young, I haven't been interested in it before, if it is still the little sister who has a good vision, if it wasn't for the little sister to persuade me, I am afraid I would not dare to let her do it." ”

"Daddy, grandmother, second uncle, you chat, I'll go cook. ”

Originally, I was going to eat the pancakes for lunch, but when the guests came, I still had to get some more food.

"I'll go. Chen Yunniang stood up.

"Mother, just talk to your grandmother and second uncle. Ye Yunshu pointed at Xiao Mingting, "Xiao Mingting just follow me." ”

Xiao Mingting also stood up, saluted like elders, and left with Ye Yunshu.

Ye Yunzhong has always been a person who likes to run to the kitchen, so he also ran behind the two of them.

"These two children have a good relationship. ”

"It's good. Chen Yunniang nodded, with a look of relief, "Mingting, this kid is generous, Shu'er can get along with him." ”

"I heard that my parents are dead?"

"Yes. Chen Yunniang nodded again and told Xiao Mingting about it.

Chen Yushi sighed, "It's a hard-working child, I look at this child respectful and introverted, and his character must not be wrong, since he wants to take the imperial examination, how is this knowledge?"

Ye Zhengwen's face was slightly red, "I'm ashamed to say it, although he is young, his knowledge and insights are much stronger than mine, and now he is already watching "Xunzi", and he will go to the county school at the beginning of the year." ”

Ye Zhengwen really has no talent for reading, people say that he reads a book a hundred times, but he doesn't understand much after reading it several times.

He's a mediocre person!

Chen Yushi nodded, "You have a favor with him, even if this child is prosperous in the future, he will not treat the big girl badly, and the son-in-law's vision is still good." ”

Chen Yushi was originally worried that Ye Yunshu was forced, but now that she saw that the two of them got along well, she was relieved.

After talking for a while, Chen Yushi was a little tired, so he went to sleep first, and then had lunch when he woke up.
