Mrs. Ye and others washed the family's clothes and bed sheets for the whole morning. It was the New Year and everything had to be replaced with new ones.

There were many ropes tied up in the yard, and it was full of clothes, pants, quilt covers, sheets and other things hanging on it.

Although the washed clothes and bed sheets were rolled up at both ends and wrung out vigorously by the men in the family, they were still frozen into pieces after being hung up for a while, and when the wind blew, they collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

Seeing this, the children ran in and played hide-and-seek among them.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye was so angry that she yelled, "Come out! I just washed it clean. If anyone dares to dirty it, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Ye Changrui didn't get involved at all, he was practicing calligraphy in the house at that time!

Ye Changxue ran out with the twins.

Ye Changnian and Qingtian were small in stature and had short legs, so they got a little lost inside and didn't know where to get out.

Ye Changnian circled around twice and ran out first, still shouting, "Qingtian, hurry up, you're the only one left."

Qingtian got anxious for a moment and tripped, falling onto a bed sheet, pulling it off the rope and making it fall to the ground, getting it dirty.

"Wow——" Qingtian burst into tears.

Mrs. Ye San quickly ran over, picked her up, looked her up and down, and asked, "Where did you fall?"

When the people in the house heard Qingtian crying, they all ran out to check what was going on.

She wore thick clothes in winter, so she didn't get hurt when she fell on a sunny day. Moreover, she threw herself on the bed sheet without even getting her clothes dirty.

She started crying because she saw that the sheets that the adults had washed with great effort were soiled by her.

Mrs. Ye checked up and down several times, and after confirming that Qingtian hadn't fallen, she yelled at the boys in the family, "Why are you running so fast? Don't you even take your sister with you?

"I see you're all itching for a beating before the New Year, right?"

When the younger brothers saw Qingtian fall, they all felt very regretful and came forward.

"Did my sister fall?"

"Does your leg hurt?"

"Sunny, I'm sorry, I should have waited for you..."

Seeing that the brothers admitted their mistakes in a good manner, Mrs. Ye San's expression eased a little.

Qingtian was still sobbing and wiping away tears, saying, "Aunt San, I'm sorry, I stained the bed sheet, wuwu..."

"Oh, it's not a big deal, just go to the river and pour it out.

Boss Ye carried the last basin of washed clothes and accompanied Sister Ye back from the river.

I heard Qingtian crying before I even entered the yard.

The couple quickly quickened their pace and ran in to ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing this, Mrs. San Ye handed Qingtian to Mrs. Da Ye and explained the whole story with a smile.

When Mrs. Ye heard that Qingtian didn't fall, she felt relieved and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face.

It's so cold outside, and it's not pleasant to cry with tears all over your face. The cold wind will blow on your child's fair and tender face, which may easily become chapped [Note 2].

"Wow, Mom, I'll help you wash the sheets." Qingtian said sobbingly.

Boss Ye was distressed by his daughter's crying and quickly said, "Dear, stop crying. You are too young now. Daddy will wash it for you, okay?

"Don't worry, Dad is very strong and will be back soon."

After Ye Lao Da finished speaking, fearing that his daughter would disagree, he grabbed the bed sheet on the ground and ran away.

Seeing that Qingtian was still a little unhappy, Sister Ye said, "Mom will take you to the riverside to watch your father finish washing. Can you help us wring out the water?"

When Old Lady Ye heard this, she disagreed and said, "It's not a big deal, the child didn't do it on purpose.

"Besides, what can she do at such a young age?

"It's almost New Year's Day, and the wind by the river is so cold. If the child gets wet, what will happen if he gets sick?"

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she hesitated.

The last time Qingtian had a fever, she was almost scared to death. If it happened again, she really couldn't bear it.

But Qingtian kept begging her, "Mom, take me to the river. I want to help..."

Just when Sister Ye was in a dilemma, Ye Lao Si suddenly said, "Sister Ye, take Qingtian with you!

"It's a good thing for a child to want to take responsibility for her mistakes. Wear more clothes on her and ask her to help out a little so she doesn't feel bad about it."

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she thought it made sense.

Before the sunny days came, the family was either populated by sons or grandsons, all of them as naughty as monkeys.

If you make a mistake, you will be scolded and beaten, and you will always be taught a lesson.

Although Qingtian is the only daughter in the family and everyone dotes on her, she shouldn't be spoiled too much.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye finally nodded, and did not forget to remind her: "Give the child another piece of clothing."

When Mrs. Ye came to the river with Qingtian wrapped up in a ball in her arms, Boss Ye had already rinsed the soiled sheets.

He was tall and had long arms, and was grabbing both ends of the bed sheet and twisting it hard.

Just as Mrs. Ye was about to walk over, she saw a young woman from the village approaching.

"Brother Ye, I'm washing clothes over there, but I'm too weak to wring them out. Can you help me wring them out?"

Listening to the tender sound of her young wife pinching, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but shiver.

She stopped and waited to see how Boss Ye would respond.

Unexpectedly, Boss Ye said without even looking up, "If you can't move, go find your man. Why are you looking for me? I don't even know you."

After saying this, Boss Ye picked up the bed sheet he had wrung and left.

The young wife was so angry that she stamped her feet behind him, blaming him for being unromantic.
