The happy little days of the Ye family

As soon as Father Ye entered the door, Xiao Qi, who had been guarding the door for a long time, flew over happily like a bird out of its cage and hugged his thigh.

"Grandpa, you are back! Xiaoqi misses you so much~"

Father Ye picked up the little guy, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.

"You little guy has such a sweet mouth. Do you miss grandpa, or do you miss the candy in grandpa's hand?"

"Hehe, of course I miss grandpa." The little guy hugged Father Ye's neck and his mouth was very sweet.

Father Ye smiled and deliberately teased him, "Well, I'll give that candy to someone else!"

"No! Xiao Qi misses Grandpa and also wants to eat Tangtang."

Xiao Qi hugged Father Ye's neck tightly, the smile on his face was sweeter than honey, and he was afraid that his candy would fly away.

"You little clever guy."

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Father Ye secretly put a few candies into the little guy's hands.

"Your mother doesn't let you eat more candies. You share the candies with your younger brothers and sisters. You are not allowed to eat them alone."

Okay, thank you grandpa, grandpa, you are the best. "

As soon as he got the candy, the little guy couldn't wait to stuff one into his mouth.

"It's sweet and delicious." After eating the delicious candy, the little guy smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.

Then he stuffed another candy into Father Ye's mouth, "Grandpa, you can eat it too."

"Be good, grandpa's love for you is not in vain."

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, smiled, and walked happily into the house.

As for the remaining candies, Xiaoqi gave one to each of Tangtang and Chenchen. The remaining brothers and sisters were still young and couldn't eat candies.

So Xiao Qi secretly hid the remaining three candies.

But the mantis stalks the cicada, but the sparrow follows behind.

The candy that the little guy finally hid was quickly deceived by Ye Xilin, the evil-minded uncle, with sweet words.

The little guy who was cheated of candy still foolishly followed Xilin's butt. His uncle was older than his uncle.

Shameless Ye Xilin also ordered his little nephew to massage his waist and beat his back, tricking him into spinning around.

Li Guoer, who witnessed everything from the sidelines, was speechless. Such a grown man still bullied a child.

But the little guy is still silly, and he and he are like buddies.

Li Guoer couldn't bear it, so she forced Ye Xilin to return the deceived candy to Xiao Qi.

Seeing the lost Tangtang, the little guy was so happy that his uncle didn't want it anymore and stayed around Li Guoer all day long.

Ye Xilin looked at this silly boy who didn't remember what to eat, and was afraid that he would be deceived with a piece of candy.

This little nephew is so stupid, you should be nicer to him in the future.

After returning from the county, Father Ye quickly set the price for the mooncakes at home.

The mooncakes at home are made with enough ingredients and are about the same size as the mooncakes in the county that cost 7 cents each.

Sold on North Street, Ye's father also planned to sell them for 7 cents each.

As for the grocery stores and the ones sold in the villages below, he planned to sell them for 6 cents each.

Early the next morning, Father Ye came to North Street to set up a stall with a cart full of things.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and Father Ye placed the mooncakes and exquisite lanterns in the most conspicuous place of the stall.

The bright red lanterns and various exquisite patterns on them attracted all the children passing by.

Wealthy people buy a large and exquisite lantern, while those from average families buy an ordinary small lantern.

Under Ye's father's strong promotion, those who stopped rarely left empty-handed.

There were so many people buying lanterns, and a lot of other items on the stall were also sold.

In particular, the various rouges, gouache, and thick fabrics that I just brought back are selling very well.

There are also many people who come to buy mooncakes and pastries. Mooncakes cost 7 cents each, and most people buy two and go back to try them.

There was only one well-dressed woman who bought 20 pieces at a time, saying she wanted to give them as holiday gifts to her relatives and friends.

Of the 150 mooncakes that Father Ye brought over, more than 60 were sold in one morning.

There were a lot of people on the street in the morning, but by the time it was time to eat, there were not many people on the street.

Father Ye packed up the stall and planned to go home for lunch and then go to the village below to sell things in the afternoon.

Because I was going to sell goods in the village below, some of the things on the donkey cart were also changed.

The expensive fabrics were replaced with cheap and affordable linen and various cheap fabrics.

Sickles, hoes, large iron pots, wooden barrels, wooden basins, and many other iron and wooden products were also obtained.

The most important thing is candy, which is loved by women and children, so don’t forget to bring it.

The place where Father Ye sells goods this time is a remote small village called Yangjiazhuang, just outside Fangjiacun.

Yangjiazhuang is at the foot of a barren hill, and most of the people in the village have the surname Yang.

The land around Yangjiazhuang is not fertile, there is no river nearby for fishing, and there is not even a place for hunting.

People in the village live a tight life.

However, because Yangjiazhuang is relatively remote and the people are not wealthy, there are very few salesmen in the past.

I heard that there are only about 40 households in Yangjiazhuang, and there are only more than 300 people in the village.

Father Ye came to this village to sell goods for the first time today. Starting from his home, he traveled by donkey cart for more than half an hour before arriving at Yangjiazhuang.

There is a big stone at the entrance of the village with the words Yangjiazhuang written on it.

Looking inside, most of the village is composed of short thatched houses, which shows that the village is really not wealthy.

As soon as Ye's father entered the village, the children at the entrance of the village surrounded the donkey pulling the cart like a monkey.

"Is this a donkey?"

"It seems so. I saw one in the next village."

Several little kids gathered around, curiously commenting on the donkey.

"who are you?"

When the woman on the side saw Father Ye's unfamiliar face, she quickly called the children from the village over, fearing that he was a kidnapper.

"Hello, auntie, my surname is Ye, and I am a salesman who comes to the village to sell goods."

As he spoke, Father Ye also opened the door curtain on the carriage, revealing all kinds of groceries on the carriage.

"It's great. Finally, a salesman came to sell goods. I'm short of many things at home." The woman's eyes lit up as she looked at the big iron pot in the car.

The woman took Father Ye to the sun drying field in the village.

Immediately afterwards, under the shouts of the woman and a group of kids, many people came to the village.

Father Ye saw that the clothes of the people in the village were covered with pudding, and thought that they probably didn't have much money to buy things with, so he quickly shouted:

"Dear fellow villagers, not only can you buy the things at the stall with money, but you can also exchange them for things at home, such as grain, mountain products, and all kinds of home-made things."

"I have beans at home. Can I exchange them for a sickle?" A dark-skinned middle-aged man asked nervously.

"Want dried mushrooms? I'd like to change some fabrics."

"Uncle, I picked up some chestnuts this morning. Can I exchange them for candy?"

……

Everyone started asking questions, and the scene was very chaotic.

Fortunately, Father Ye was also used to seeing big scenes. He stood directly on the donkey cart and shouted loudly:

"It's hard to explain just by talking. Everyone, please bring your things over first. I'll take everything I can."

When they heard that things could be exchanged, everyone hurried home.

In most people's minds, exchanging items from home is equivalent to giving up money.

The most positive ones were the children in the village, who ran home one after another to bring things to exchange for candy.
