The happy little days of the Ye family

I thought that after I went to the county academy, I wouldn’t be able to play with my friends often.

Xiaoqi and his two other brothers whispered for a while, preparing to give New Year gifts to Ergouzi and Erya in the village, as well as Yang Shu, Zhu Zhixin and Lin Biao in the town.

The three friends in the town don’t know yet that they are going to study at Qingsong Academy, so this is a good opportunity to say goodbye to them.

Different from the formal New Year gifts prepared by adults, the three brothers prepared various snacks and toys that children like.

Erya loves beauty, so the three brothers pooled their money to buy her several beautiful hairbands, pink, goose yellow, bright red and green, one of each.

Ergouzi likes to use slingshots to shoot sparrows. Xiaoqi contributed his favorite slingshot, and Xiaoshitou and Chenchen also contributed some small toys.

Zhu Zhixin and Lin Biao were quite greedy, so the little guys secretly took out a lot of snacks from home and packed up two big bags in a short while.

As for Yang Shu, this guy has basically no hobbies except reading books and practicing calligraphy. Chenchen suggested that he could give him a set of four treasures of the study.

I will think of them when I read and write in the future.

It's a good idea, but unfortunately they have no money.

Xiao Qi touched his flat little pouch and said with a sad face:

"I have no money left, and my father said that a set of four treasures of the study costs at least 800 coins. I can't afford it even if I sell myself (*?????)."

Xiao Qi felt even sadder when he thought about the 10 cents pocket money he had a month.

The three brothers discussed it for a while and finally decided to give him a brush.

Ye Donglin had just prepared the New Year gift for the teacher when the three little guys came running over.

Knowing that these brats were going to give gifts to their classmates, Ye Donglin had a smile on his face but felt very jealous in his heart.

This guy Xiaoqi has grown up and I have never given him any gifts.

Jealousy makes people twisted. When his own son bought things, Ye Donglin not only did not give a discount, he even maliciously raised the price.

He sold an ordinary brush that cost 100 wen at a high price of 120 wen.

120 Wen was undoubtedly a huge price for the three little guys. For this brush, they even signed an IOU to Ye Donglin.

The three brothers promised that after the new year, they would copy books for Ye Donglin's bookstore and pay him 126 cents including principal and interest.

With this round trip, the cunning Ye Donglin can earn a difference of 26 cents.

Thinking that he could earn half a month's pocket money from it, Ye Donglin, who was feeling sour all over, finally felt relieved.

After lunch, the three brothers came to Li Family Academy with their fathers, bringing generous New Year gifts.

Master Ming believed that he had done his best to take care of the three little ones, so he was particularly happy to receive the three New Year gifts.

After giving the three brothers some instructions, Master Ming gave each of them a copybook of calligraphy according to their personalities, and asked them to practice diligently.

After coming out of the academy, Ye Donglin and his second cousin went straight to the grocery store.

Tang Xiaojing was responsible for driving the donkey cart, taking the three brothers to give New Year gifts to their former classmates and friends.

When Zhu Zhixin knew that the three of them were going to go to the county to study after the New Year, he hugged Xiaoqi and burst into tears.

The little girl said with red eyes that she was reluctant to leave, and wiped her snot and tears on his shoulders.

Looking at the little fat boy crying with snot and tears, Xiao Qi was full of disgust. Just as he was about to push him away, he heard words that shocked him.

Zhu Zhixin was still twitching, and said intermittently:

"Xiao Qi, how about I marry your sister in the future, and then we can be a family."

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then kicked the dreaming guy away:

"Get lost, stop talking nonsense here, my sister is only 5 years old. And you are so fat and stupid, my Tangtang doesn't like you."

Being rejected by his good brother, Zhu Zhixin cried even more sadly, pulling Xiaoqi's sleeve with a wronged look on his face:

"No, my mother said that I haven't started to grow yet. I will lose weight as I grow taller. I will definitely be a handsome man when I grow up."

Xiao Qi didn't listen to his nonsense, and quickly pulled Xiao Shitou and Chenchen, who were laughing secretly, to find the other two.

Before leaving, he deliberately made a face at Zhu Zhixin, which made the little fat boy so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Lin Biao's side was much more relaxed and happy. Not only did the three little guys eat a lot of snacks, but the enthusiastic mother Lin also gave each of the three brothers a big piece of bacon.

"They are all homemade, take them back and try them."

As soon as they got back to the ox cart, Tang Xiaojing teased them that the three brothers were going to the Lin family to beg for money.

On the way to Yang's house, Xiao Qi touched the small box containing the brushes reluctantly.

This brush is very valuable. The three brothers paid a lot for it.

Yang Shu's family was well off. They lived in a large house on North Street and had several servants.

Looking at the servant leading the way in front, the three little guys who were originally chattering became a little restrained and didn't dare to look around.

Yang Shu is a low-key guy, but I didn't expect his family to be so rich.

Yang Shu was reading a book in his small study at this time. When he knew that Xiao Qi and others came to find him, he immediately put down the book and ran out.

"Why are you here!" There was a hint of panting and surprise in his tone.

"Come here to give you a New Year gift!" Chenchen smiled and shook the small wooden box in his hand.

Seeing the small box in Chenchen's hand, Yang Shu's eyes lit up and he happily took it:

"thank you all."

Yang Shu felt very guilty about not having prepared any New Year gifts for them. He was about to ask his mother for help when he heard the bad news.

Chenchen: "Brother Yang, we are going to study in the county, and we will not go to the Li Family Academy after the New Year."

Looking at Yang Shu's slowly reddening eyes, Little Stone patted his chest and assured:

"We are just going to Qingsong Academy to study. We will be back during the holiday. Then we will come to play with you."

Chenchen patted his shoulder and teased him deliberately: "You must study hard in the future, and don't let us fall too far behind~"

"Don't give me that. It's you who should not be left too far behind by me." Yang Shu turned around proudly, not wanting his good brother to see him crying.

After calming down for a while, he quickly gave the toys that he had treasured for a long time and the books he had copied to the three people.

They even made an appointment to compare their knowledge during the break.

After giving the New Year gifts, the three brothers got on the ox cart in a depressed mood.

When they came over, there was laughter and joy in the car, but after the rounds of farewells just now, the three young boys felt a little sad about parting.

Although Ergouzi and Erya already knew that the three of them would go to the county to study in the future, they still couldn't bear to part with them.

Seeing them coming so solemnly to give New Year gifts, my heart suddenly felt empty. When I put the sweet candy into my mouth, my eyes turned red.
