Ye Jianqiu

After Ye Jianqiu returned, Niu Shi and Ye Wanzhen carefully counted the things he brought.

Niu took the pole scale and weighed the things one by one.Fifty catties of millet, ten catties of fine dried noodles, one large black-skinned watermelon, ten peaches, three catties of black and purple plums, three melons, and even three boxes of pastries from Yushengfeng Fruit Shop.Niu felt a little regretful, he ate up all the meat and vegetables brought by the big and small in one meal, leaving nothing behind!

The kraft paper carefully opened a dim sum box sealed with red oil paper, and there were neatly arranged and exquisitely crafted snacks inside, crystal mung bean cake, lard pine nut cake, Wuwu sesame cake, and dragon beard meat muffins ...

Smelling the delicious smell of the cakes, Niu couldn't help smacking his lips and said: "This is really delicious! Yushengfeng's cakes are famous for their deliciousness. Look at the burnt sesame seeds and the crispy skin. It will definitely fall into pieces when you pick it up." Scum! If you take a bite, you might have to protect your leaky chin with your hand! This big box must weigh two catties, and it shouldn’t cost dozens of dollars?”

Ye Wanzhen said: "Mother, how can it be so cheap, a box of Yushengfeng fruit costs at least a hundred copper coins! The box brought by the size is not the best, I heard that the most refined one is made of fresh flowers A box of rose cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and other desserts cost one tael of silver!"

Niu couldn't help being taken aback: "It's so expensive!"

She looked at the half-eaten box of snacks that Ye Shuan had opened with great regret, and couldn't help saying: "You and Ye Shuan eat the opened one first, and put the remaining two boxes first, and the one box is for my relatives." Bring it to your mother's house when the time comes, and save another box for your mother to eat when you come home next time."

Niu very carefully covered the red silk cloth on the snack box and tied it tightly to keep it in its original state.

Ye Dashan, who had just sent Ye Jianqiu away, entered the door with his hands behind his back. He rolled his eyes several times when he saw the things on the ground, and found a leather bag to put things in.

"Ye Dashan, what are you doing?"

When Niu saw Ye Dashan stuffing the things on the ground into his pockets, and even packed the two boxes of snacks, he couldn't help panicking.

She took Ye Dashan's hand: "Ye Dashan, where are you taking things?"

Ye Dashan pushed Niu Shi aside with his arm, and he said loudly, "Don't worry about it!"

Ye Wanzhen stepped forward and said softly: "Father, who do you want to give these things to? Do you want my daughter to go with you?"

Ye Dashan carried the packed things on his shoulders, and excitedly said to Ye Wanzhen: "Er Niu, daddy will give these things to Li Zheng and you, Er Hei Ye, San Gang Ye and others."

Niu became angry when he heard it, and jumped up and shouted: "Why do you give them to outsiders? I haven't even tasted it yet!"

Ye Dashan was also angry: "What do you know, silly girl? You're messing around with people, just to make a good relationship! Ever since our family was working on errands, people in the village looked at our family with very different eyes. It’s the same! The stinky boys with eyes on the top of their heads in the past, now they all take the initiative to smile and call me uncle! Our old man is old, what should we do if he passed away in a hundred years? The big and small are not at home, what’s the matter? Why not help me? Besides, outsiders say that it’s good to hang around outside, but they’ve only heard about it and haven’t seen him, so let’s open their eyes!”

"That can't be taken away, at least leave some for me to taste..." Niu didn't understand what Ye Dashan meant, but she didn't have the courage to refute. She saw Ye Dashan's flushed face, Not daring to make a loud noise, but begged in a low voice.

"The millet, noodles, and the half-packet of dim sum are reserved for you!"

After Ye Dashan finished speaking, he strode out the door with his things on his shoulders.

Ye Wanzhen stepped forward to comfort the lost Niu Shi: "Mother, it's not easy to want to eat snacks? I'll bring you a few boxes next time I go home! But mother, what Dad said just now is right, we can't just talk about it for a while, we have to Save the way out! When our family was poor, people in the village shunned us for fear that our father would ask for food! Especially the Lizheng family, they yelled at our whole family, and they were not sons of men! Now we want to let Look at them, there are people in our family in the town!"

Hearing her daughter's words, Niu had no choice but to nod, and hurriedly collected the grain on the ground.

Ye Wanzhen was sitting on the kang, her mind was turning back and forth.

Although she said so, she was not satisfied with her father's actions in her heart.

Ye Wanzhen knows Ye Dashan's temper very well. Her father loves face and is very vain. When she was so poor that she couldn't even afford to eat, she didn't have the time to pay attention to these things. But since he now has two money in his hand, his vanity is like When thirsty seeds encounter water, they germinate quickly and grow upwards!And he has a very stubborn temper, the more stubborn you are with him, the more motivated he will be, and he will definitely give the things away!

Ye Wanzhen felt that there was nothing wrong with wanting others to look up to her. Everyone has vanity.But Ye Dashan's approach is actually very dirty.Really capable people don't take the initiative to make friends, but after they become famous, others will take the initiative to make friends with them.But now Ye Dashan took the initiative to come to other people's homes to give gifts. Some people would think that he deliberately showed off, but it was counterproductive.

It is said that Ye Dashan came to Lizheng's house happily carrying his things, and Lizheng and his wife were taking a nap.

The afternoons in summer are very long, and the people in the village almost all hide in the shady burrows in the afternoon to rest, not only few people go out, but also very few people bother them.So, after they heard knocks on the door, Lizheng's wife got up cursing and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ye Dashan with a smile on his face.

Lizheng, who was sleeping Zhengxiang, was disturbed by someone, was angry. He frowned, dragged his two big shoes and yawned and landed on the ground. When he saw the bulging bag on Ye Dashan's shoulder, Lizheng shrewdly Just as he immediately understood what was going on, his face quickly turned cloudy, and he enthusiastically let Ye Dashan into the room.

Ye Dashan didn't pay attention to the bench brought by Lizheng, nor the water brought by Lizheng's wife, but bent down and eagerly took out the things in the bag.After he put a big black-skinned watermelon and two packets of Yu Shengfeng snacks on the table, he sat down with a reserved smile.

The three of them chatted around the table, and Lizheng asked about the situation of Ye Daxiao and Ye Erniu from time to time. Ye Dashan sat there with his back straight and his chin raised high, drinking water slowly and gracefully. , while slowly answering Rizheng's question.

And Lizheng's wife was a little sullen, how could this Ye Dashan not put the things directly at the base of the wall or hand them to her when he entered the door?He put the gift between the three of them so openly, why is it so awkward!

She wanted to put the things away, but she was embarrassed to take them away in front of Ye Dashan. Don't take them away, just put them on the table so conspicuously and blatantly!No matter where her eyes look, intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes will always fall on the big black-skinned watermelon in the middle of the table and the two bright red, beautifully packaged snack boxes!And that Ye Dashan always secretly pays attention to her expression. Whenever she looks away from the snack box and looks up, Ye Dashan catches her right!Li Zheng's wife was embarrassed, but Ye Dashan smiled and turned his face to chat with Li Zheng.

Ye Dashan was very satisfied with Lizheng's wife's performance, this woman was dazzled by the things he brought!

When the satisfied Ye Dashan finally took his leave and left, as soon as he went out, Li Zheng's wife slammed the door shut with a "bang".Ye Dashan was very happy, look, this woman can't wait, she is impatient to close the door and look at things!

Ye Dashan ran to Uncle Erhei's house and Uncle Sangang's house again in one breath.

Sure enough, these two people were extremely rare for him to bring fruit.Uncle Sangang touched the big red peaches and the black and purple plums and exclaimed: "Dashan, your family is really capable! This fruit grows really well. It's not from Qingyang, it's bought from outside. Is it? Uncle’s house also planted some fruit trees, the flowers bloom quite well, but the fruit sheds a lot, not to mention the small size of the formed fruit, and it’s not as sweet as this at first sight!”

And the Erhei uncle who took a few melons kept praising Ye Xiaoxiao for his filial piety. He went home to see his parents and didn't say anything, but he still thought of him as Erhei Ye in his heart!His family also grows some melons, but at most they grow to the size of a fist and don't grow any longer. Not only are the skins thick and the fruits are small, but they are also not tasty. In the end, they are treated as gourds, cut the skins and stir-fried them as vegetables!

At the hottest noon, the village road in Xituer Village was empty, only Ye Dashan, who was dangling, was humming a little song and walking on the road with his empty leather bag.Ye Dashan was very satisfied with everything, the only regret was that he forgot to inquire about the price of the two boxes of snacks, it didn't look cheap!It's a pity that the couple in Lizheng don't know about it yet!
