Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 99 Xiaowan's Potential
When the two returned home, the eldest sister-in-law and Xiaowan had prepared lunch. Because Boss Ye had been busy in the county town all day yesterday, he only did some chores like feeding the chickens and ducks today.
Seeing the two of them coming back, he quickly handed them some boiled water and said, "It's so hot, why didn't you come back earlier? As the eldest brother, you don't know how to take good care of your sister."
Ye Guo drank half of the water and turned to look at his elder brother, who looked like he was seriously reflecting on himself. The sympathy he had originally felt was instantly withdrawn, and he wanted to run away.
But she obviously underestimated her mother's fighting ability. Before she put down the bamboo cup in her hand, the next sentence was about her, "It's not that our family can't afford food now. Why are you making more trouble than when we couldn't afford food?"
"Just let the eldest brother do all the work in the fields. Aren't you afraid that your body won't be able to handle it by staying on the ridge for the whole morning?"
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. After eating, go back to the house and rest."
Ye Guo has always been a man who knows when to do things. "We are waiting for you to eat together. If you don't stretch out your chopsticks, we, the younger generation, won't dare to eat first!"
"Yes, yes! Grandma, Dad, aunt, come in quickly, I have set the table." Xiaolu was the only child in the family. He was helping to serve the dishes from the kitchen. After hearing the last part, he followed suit loudly.
"You little guy are so smart. Next time, I'll take you to the county town and buy you some candy." Ye Guo pinched Xiaolu's chubby little face. The latter wanted to hide but had something in his hand, so he could only accept it passively.
Just as he was about to express his refusal, Ye Guo's words made him stop hiding, "Dad, Mom, Grandma, I want to go to the county town. My aunt said so."
"You really are... He's just a little kid, why do you spoil him?" Although Old Lady Ye said this, there was actually a smile in her eyes.
Su was wearing an apron on her chest, and she liked her aunt more and more. "If you really want to take this mud monkey with you, then take Xiaowan with you. This way you don't have to keep an eye on him."
"This is a good plan. I heard there are kidnappers in the county. With Xiaowan here, I don't have to worry about anything."
With just a few words, it was decided to take the two children to the county town. No one seemed to realize that Ye Guo himself was also a child.
The quality of sleep during the lunch break is quite good, so it’s okay to be tired.
When I woke up in the afternoon, the house was very quiet. Occasionally, I could hear the sound of the textile machines through several doors.
"Xiao Wan, where are the others?" Ye Guo had been busy lately and felt that it had been a long time since the two of them had talked alone.
Seeing her aunt wake up, Ye Wan immediately stopped what she was doing. "Xiaolu probably went to the oil mill to play. I heard that the oil mill will give them some oil to fry food. The people in the village are either fishing in the river or climbing trees to catch insects every day."
"Catching bugs?"
"Some bugs are very delicious when fried. Would you like to try it?"
Ye Guo had always been a timid person, so he backed away after hearing this, "Please spare me. Mom, if we want to fry the beans, shouldn't my sister-in-law be the only one who can go?"
Ye Wan nodded, "Yes, we will arrange one for each family. Grandma is probably out chatting."
"Little aunt, you need to find grandma for something, do you want me to help you find her?"
"Forget it." Ye Guo refused, "Do you know how to dye this cloth?"
Pointing at Xiaowan's half-foot-long piece of cloth, Ye Guo asked. The clothes that the family members were wearing now were all made of directly purchased fabrics, so she had never noticed this.
"Some commonly used colors can be dyed, but the colors are lighter. But for darker colors like blue and purple, they can only be dyed in a dyeing factory."
"Can we also send our own cloth to the dyeing factory?"
Ye Wan was a girl, but in fact she didn't go out very often. "I don't know the exact number. Every time, my grandma would take her to the market and bring her back at the next market."
"It's just that my family was poor before, and we would only take some good fabrics to be dyed before the Chinese New Year."
Ye Guo has a new understanding of the level of development of Daqing's handicrafts.
"There's one more thing..."
Ye Guo was a little hesitant about whether to say it, and then he heard Xiao Wan chuckle and said, "Auntie, do you want to talk to me about marriage?"
"My mother also told me about this. Although many people have come to propose marriage, Brother Cheng is not only unmarried, but he is still in Lingnan. I am not in a hurry."
"Now, in addition to doing some trivial housework at home, I can also make various sauces and give them out as gifts. Occasionally, when I feel like it, I can also make some unique soaps."
"In fact, I used to be very envious of my aunt."
"Now my aunt dotes on me and takes me to places that other girls in the village can never go to in their lifetime. I am already very content."
"Aunt, do you think we really have to get married?"
Ye Guo had always felt that this girl had the potential to be a strong woman, and now after hearing this, he was even more impressed.
"You are still young, don't rush to make a decision, just wait and see. Love is something you can only encounter, if you meet it halfway, then be brave and grab it. If you don't meet it, do you still remember the female household I mentioned before?"
Ye Wan is now much more knowledgeable than before, and was very moved after hearing this.
Having planted a seed in her heart, Ye Guo went to the rice field again in the afternoon, but this time he went not to his own rice field, but to someone else's in the village.
The situation was different in each household, but in every household she visited, there were people in the fields.
This hard work is truly commendable.
Because we have to work overtime at night, everyone eats more for dinner than before. It is said that my father and eldest brother eat one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half.
The female compatriots in the family, on the other hand, were efficient in their work during the day and finished their work early, so they were able to go home and have a full night's sleep.
It was at this time that Ye Guo went to Old Lady Ye's house.
An oil lamp was on in the room. Old Mrs. Ye was sitting beside the bed, combing her long hair in a rare leisurely manner. Her shadow was reflected on the wall, gentle and warm.
"Xiao Guo, how was your afternoon sleep? Are you still going to the county town tomorrow?"
She really couldn't control her daughter now. Now she just hoped that she could tell her something about what happened.
A highly skilled Taoist priest moved into the Wang family. This was a good thing and everyone in the family knew about it.
"Yes, I am going to go. So I have a question that I must ask mom."
Seeing how serious she was, Old Lady Ye put down the cloth she was using to wipe her hair and sat up straighter.
"Ask me, I'll tell you everything I know."
Being trusted by someone so much, Ye Guo couldn't help but pursed his lips and spoke with difficulty, "Mom, I want to ask... my... birth date."
