章節 170: Chapter 168 Two years later...
Another spring benefit.
The green willows all over the mountain are sprouting, wild flowers are in full bloom, the stream at the foot of Wangyue Mountain suddenly wakes up, and flows with the warm wind. The entire Crescent Village is wrapped in the vigorous spring.
The man who got up early picked up the hoe and carried the kettle and went to the ground; the aunt who was preparing the morning meal rolled up her sleeves and washed the rice for cooking porridge; the girl and the boy tied up their hair and went to the river to starch and wash their clothes with their wooden basins in their hands; The babbling child followed behind his parents, pointing his fingers and drooling.
The courtyard door of the grand blue brick and tiled house at the east end of the village was suddenly pushed open, and a man named Qingjun, wearing a moon-white gown, walked out of the courtyard holding a child in one hand.
Behind him, followed a handsome young man. The man was carrying two book boxes in his hands, with the corners of his lips raised high, and his head slightly lowered, not knowing what he was saying to him.
At the entrance of the compound, a simple and plain carriage was parked quietly. The young coachman shook his whip in his hand and teased the shiny black horse.
Seeing the four people coming out, the little coachman raised a smile on his face. He quickly stepped forward and carried the two children into the car. He took the book box from the young man's hand, handed it to the car, and then helped the two of them fight. Car curtain.
"Boss, please be careful where you step."
Ye Annian lifted up his clothes and went up first, with Jiang Zhu following behind him.
After the two of them got into the car and sat down, Zhang Lu lowered the curtain, raised his whip in his hand, and with a loud shout, he drove the carriage toward the town.
After sending the children off, the sun had just risen, and Tianshui Town was gradually becoming lively.
Jiang Zhu knocked on the car window and said to Zhang Lu, who was driving the car: "Go to the market and then come back to our shop."
"Okay." Zhang Lu responded cheerfully, flicked his whip, and the carriage started running again.
The two of them bought a few snacks from the market, cut a few kilograms of pork, and bought a few pieces of fine cloth, before taking the carriage back to the shop on West Street.
Coincidentally, there was no one in the shop at the moment. Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu picked out several small toys from the shelves, asked Yu Hu to wrap them up, and drove back in the carriage.
Today is the day when Zhao Le's children hold a full-moon banquet.
It has been two years since Zhao Le married to Beigou Village next door.
My husband's surname is Chen and he is an ordinary farmer. However, his family owns dozens of acres of farmland and is a well-known wealthy household in Beigou Village.
There are two brothers in the Chen family. The eldest brother has already married and has children. Zhao Le is married to a younger brother named Chen Shi.
The carriage turned into the winding path in the village and walked for a while before stopping in front of a high-walled courtyard.
Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu got off the carriage, carried the large and small bags in the carriage, and pushed the door into the yard.
The Chen family was very lively today, with about ten tables of banquets, large and small, set up in the courtyard.
Ye Annian glanced at the guests in the courtyard who were changing glasses, and finally his eyes fell on a tall young man wearing a green cloth gown.
The young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin is a healthy wheat color. It was early spring, and he was busy greeting guests with his sleeves rolled up.
Suddenly, the young man raised his head and met Ye Anyian's eyes.
He looked slightly startled, then laughed, pulled away from the guests, and strode towards Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu.
"You guys are finally here. Brother Le has been looking forward to it since the morning." Chen Shi led the two of them through the lively crowd and walked straight into the house.
"I had to send my child to the academy, so I was delayed for a while." Ye Anian said.
"It's okay," Chen Shi waved his hand, "The banquet has just started, Brother Le is waiting for you."
After letting the two people into the east room, Chen Shi said a few polite words and went out again.
There was also a table set up in the room, and all the people sitting there were acquaintances. Chen Shi's mother, and Zhao Lizheng and his wife.
The two parties chatted for a while, and then Ye Anian was called over by Zhao Le who was sitting on the kang.
He was wearing a thin pea green jacket, sitting on the kang, holding a lotus root pink swaddle in his arms.
When she met Ye Anyian, she affectionately pulled him to sit down on the kang and looked at the little dumpling in his arms.
Ye Anyian thought it was a girl, but he didn't expect Zhao Le to smile so hard that his eyes turned into crescents.
"He's a young man. He's very quiet. He's not like us at all."
"The eyes look like yours," Ye Anian reached out and carefully touched the child's little face, "It will definitely look good when he smiles."
"That's fine. It's so gratifying when you don't sleep during the day." Zhao Le said with a smile.
"Is it easy to take care of the child?" Ye Anyian didn't know anything about this aspect, and he was a little curious when he said that the child was sleeping.
Speaking of this, Zhao Le's original smile froze on his face.
He sighed twice, and finally turned into a sigh: "When I was pregnant, I thought giving birth was the most painful thing. But after giving birth, I realized that taking care of the baby is the most painful thing."
Seeing that the little dumpling in his arms was peaceful, Ye Anyian couldn't imagine: "You cried so much at night?"
"Don't mention it. I have to wake up three or four times a night. When I wake up, I have to nurse. After eating, I don't sleep." Zhao Le smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, brother Shi and mother helped me take care of it. Otherwise, brother Nian, I'm so sleepy."
Ye Annian saw that although he was mellower than before, his face did have a tired look, and he said warmly: "It's better to have someone to help you. You can take care of yourself, but don't tire yourself."
"Well, don't worry, I won't treat myself badly." Zhao Le agreed and glanced at Jiang Zhu, who was chatting with his father.
"By the way, you and Dr. Jiang have been married for so many years. Don't you still plan to have children?"
"It's not like you can get it if you want it. It's already difficult for us to have children." Ye Anyian pursed his lips and changed the subject, "Have you given the child a name yet?"
"That's true. But you two have always had a good relationship, and you have Fu Zai and Ding Qiu, so it's better to have children later."
Zhao Le sighed with emotion and replied: "I took it. My nickname is Taro and my elder name is Chen Ce."
Ye Anyian was happy when he heard it: "You should have chosen this nickname."
"Doesn't it sound good?" Zhao Le also laughed, "How smooth."
"It sounds good." Ye Anyian curled his lips.
It was already mid-afternoon after dinner at Chen's house. The two of them said goodbye to Zhao Lefu and his wife, and took a carriage to the town to pick up their children.
At Zhao Le's full moon banquet, all the members of Zhao Lizheng's family went except Shitou, so Shitou was naturally entrusted to Ye Anyian and the others.
The three children were also with them, and they were having a lot of fun talking and laughing along the way.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Ye Anyian drank some wine at the Chen family's banquet and rode a bumpy carriage. Now he felt a little dizzy and went inside as soon as he got home.
Seeing that his expression was not good, Jiang Zhu followed him in.
I stretched out my hand to touch his forehead. It was a little warm, so I stretched out my hand and hugged him to the kang.
"If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on. Lie down and rest."
Ye Annian had no energy and felt a little cold. He said "hmm" and got into bed obediently.
Jiang Zhu helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, then grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem, I just caught a cold. Drink some medicine and rest for a night and you'll be fine.
Ye Anyian was so tired that he fell asleep at some point.
When he woke up again, it was completely dark outside. Jiang Zhu woke him up and brought him a bowl of soup and medicine to feed him.
Ye Annian took his hand and drank all the soup in the bowl, followed by a candied fruit in his mouth.
Jiang Zhu gently wiped the medicine stains on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief: "Have a good sleep, will you feel better?"
Ye Anyian nodded: "What time is it?"
"It's almost time," Jiang Zhu said, "Are you still sleepy? Keep sleeping for a while? You'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow morning."
His head was no longer dizzy, but Ye Anyian was indeed still sleepy.
He glanced at Jiang Zhu and reached out to pull his sleeve: "You can sleep together too."
Jiang Zhu probed his forehead again, feeling that the temperature had gone down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."
The two slept in each other's arms.
Early the next morning, Ye Anyian was really well.
Maybe because I slept too much last night, I woke up early.
He tossed and turned on the kang several times, and finally woke up Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu reached out and pressed his shoulder, grabbing him back into bed.
"Let Zhang Lu take them to the academy today. Let's take a day off."
Wen Heng keeps an eye on the wooden shop, and Yu Hu keeps an eye on the shop. As for the branches in Anxing County and other counties, just go there once a month.
Now, in addition to the Zhuyeji toy store in Anxing County, they have opened several new ones in several surrounding counties.
Ye Annian thought that Fu Zai and Ding Qiu would have to take a break in two days, and the good spring time could not be wasted.
Then he turned sideways and looked at Jiang Zhu with a mysterious face: "Do you want to fly a kite?"
Jiang Zhu saw his sparkling eyes and bright expression on his face, and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Then let's take advantage of today to fly a few kites. After the children take a bath, we can fly them together on the back mountain." Ye Anian looked very interested.
Jiang Zhu had no choice but reached out and pinched his cheek: "You just can't stay idle. After finally resting at home for a day, you still have to build a kite."
"It's not tiring to build a kite." Ye Annian said unconcernedly, "Let's just pass the time together."
"Okay." Jiang Zhu naturally agreed.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, after sending Zhang Lu and his two children away, Ye Anyian took the tools from his wood carving room and moved them to the stone table in the yard.
Jiang Zhu cooked a pot of osmanthus and lotus seed porridge, picked up a plate of snacks, and sat in the courtyard with Ye Anian to build a kite.
The two of them pricked three in the morning, a butterfly's, a dragonfly's, and a puppy's.
The puppy was all black, with its tongue hanging out and a silly look on its face. It was drawn by Ye Anyian based on the copper coins.
"Let's go to the village and find a few people to make it together in the afternoon?" Ye Annian looked at the paper kites that had been tied up, and his interest became more and more intense.
"You can make them for your children to play with. Once you get started, I will sell the extra ones I make in the shop."
Not long after Zhang Juan took her child to the town for medical treatment, Lao Ye's family separated.
Ye Quan and Wu Xianglian were given to the boss Ye Chenghai, and the three of them stayed in the Ye family's old house.
The second wife, Ye Chengjiang and Zhang Juan, left Yueya Village with their two children, saying they were going to visit a famous doctor to treat their youngest son.
Since then he left and never came back.
Nowadays, the old Ye family is declining, and the old couple still have to work in the fields at an early age to support their eldest son, who is idle all day long.
Everyone in the village unanimously stayed away from them.
Without those people who were looking for trouble all day long, Ye Annian spread the skills of making handmade gadgets throughout the village, teaching the aunts, husbands, girls and boys in the village to make clay figurines and make small bamboo toys. , he would come to collect it regularly and also help the villagers increase their income.
Therefore, as long as he says hello to making kites, a bunch of idle husbands and aunts will come over to learn, especially those with children at home.
You don't have to spend money to make it yourself, you can entertain your children, and if you make a lot of it, you can hand it over to Ye Anyian to earn some extra money, killing two birds with one stone.
"I'm just thinking about how to make money," Jiang Zhu raised her hand and poked him on the forehead, "You're obsessed with money."
"If you don't make money, how will you support you and your two children?" Ye Anyian stopped what he was doing and smiled at him.
Jiang Zhu also laughed and looked at him: "Okay, okay, we are really capable every year."
Ye Anian took the bamboo strips from his hand and said, "Why don't you help me quickly?"
"Here we come." Jiang Zhu narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes, took the fishing line and tied the bamboo strips into a circle.
