Who made him poor? If he were rich, he wouldn't be so stingy.

Chen Ye rolled his eyes to the sky and told the two elder brothers not to laugh at the younger brother, as neither of them was a generous person.

"Tell me how much the house costs first, and I'll give you an approximate price." This person definitely doesn't know the exact price, but the approximate price should be roughly the same.

Cen Zixiang actually asked Aunt Bai today: "It should be between 1,200 and 1,500."

"Hiss... so expensive?" She thought it was at most a thousand yuan, but this was enough to buy her three houses.

"Even your house isn't cheap, how can the bigger one next door be cheaper? Don't you have that much money? How about I ask Uncle San for you?"

Chen Ye quickly shook her head: "No, no, I can scrape together enough money." She would never say that she had 6,000 yuan. What if Fourth Brother heard that she had so much money and asked her to borrow money?

"Oh, you are quite good, little girl. You are much richer than your fourth brother. Did you earn all this money from hunting?"

"Haha, that's about right." I won't tell you that I only earned a few hundred dollars from hunting, and the rest was ill-gotten gains.

Cen Zixiang rolled his eyes in his heart. He was being treated like a fool. This little girl must have other ways to make money. Forget it, since Ye Zi didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't ask. As long as she didn't do anything illegal, it would be fine.

"Cen Zixiang, come and help quickly," this brat just let him cook alone and treated him like a nanny?

"Coming, coming," oh no, this person has to work in the kitchen.

Today's meal was quite rich. The three of us managed to get four main dishes: pork belly stewed with sauerkraut and vermicelli, braised hairtail, sweet and sour pork, and a large Northeastern cold dish with a lot of shredded pork in it.

"What kind of day is this?" Chen Ye was stunned. They usually ate well, but not so luxuriously. A meal would have at most one meat dish, and it wasn't even pure meat.

"Just consider it a celebration for catching the bad guy. We're going back tomorrow, and you'll be all alone here. So let's improve your food in advance."

"You two are amazing! When did you learn this skill? You can even make sweet and sour pork!"

Gao Fei chuckled: "You think too highly of us. I bought this sweet and sour pork. Come on, eat it! It's almost cold now. I brought it back wrapped in my military coat."

Chen Ye wasn't shy about being polite. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in his mouth. With a crunch, his mouth was filled with a sweet and sour taste. "Delicious! Is this the work of the chef from the nearby state-owned restaurant?"

"Yes, their food is pretty good. I heard their buns are even better. Have you tried them, Ye Zi?"

Chen Ye nodded. "Yes, I have. If I don't like to cook in the morning, I'll go to his shop to buy it. Especially fried dough sticks and soy milk, I eat them every day and never get tired of them, but his shop doesn't make them every day."

In fact, even if others make it every day, she can't buy it every day. After all, she doesn't have that many tickets. She sighed, wondering why it is so difficult to eat something that she likes.

As soon as Cen Zixiang saw his younger sister's expression, he knew what she was thinking. He really had forgotten about this matter. He quickly reached into his coat pocket and took out a handful of bills.

"I thought about the ticket last time. I exchanged it with Lao Hei, and my grandparents sent it to me. I can't use it in the village, so I'll give it to you."

"No need, my grandparents also sent me money, but I spent it a little quickly." Cen Zixiang didn't get as much money as she did every month, so how could she have the nerve to ask Cen Zixiang for money.

Cen Zixiang put it directly on the kang: "Just take it if I give it to you. You don't know that you really don't have much use for these in the village. Keep them for your own use. Don't let them go to waste. Just buy whatever you want to eat."

The longer he stayed in the village, the more he learned about Ye Zi's childhood, and the more he felt sorry for this little sister. Ye Zi, who had a soul from the afterlife and was as white as a piece of paper, had no idea how hard it had been for her to grow up so well.

"I'll go back and ask Lao Hei to exchange some tickets for me, and bring them to you next time I come."

Chen Ye nodded: "Okay, but I have to pay for the ticket exchange."

"Okay, you pay for it. You are much richer than Fourth Brother. By the way, why didn't Dashuang come?" In the past, if Dashuang knew that the two of them were coming, he would definitely come over to get together.

"Sister-in-law Dashuang is pregnant, and the roads are not easy to travel on this day, so I didn't let them come. If something happens along the way, it will be too late to regret it."

Besides, the incident next door a few days ago is not over yet. How would I explain it if I bump into something?

"That's right, then we'll come over next time and visit the Dashuang couple. Sister, is there anything else you need? If so, I'll bring it over to you next time."

"Really? Go back and help me collect some wood. If I can really buy that house, I will need a lot of materials." She planned to start renovating the house as soon as she bought it.

"Are you really treating that house as a toy? Aren't you exhausted?"

"It's okay, quite interesting. You don't know how leisurely my job is. All I do every day is stare blankly." She is now almost mastering the skill of sleeping with her eyes open.

"Then do you want to change to a busier job?" Cen Zixiang joked.

Chen Ye quickly shook his head: "I won't change. This job is so good. It's quiet. I don't have to deal with so many people every day, and I don't have to chat with people for no reason."

"As long as you like it, eat quickly and we can chat slowly after the meal." No matter how warm the house is, it can't withstand the cold outside, and the food will get cold easily.

After seeing off Cen Zixiang and Gao Fei, Chen Ye suddenly felt relieved. She still preferred to be alone. It was nice to have someone come to get together occasionally, but she couldn't stand it every day.

But now that everyone who should leave has left, she has to start doing her own things.

Chen Ye was wearing a military coat, a Lei Feng hat on his head, and a gray scarf that almost covered his entire face. He leaned against a windproof spot and looked at the people walking back and forth.

When she saw a square-faced man about 1.75 meters tall walking towards her, Chen Ye straightened her body. The person she was waiting for finally appeared. This person was Zhang Tiechui's eldest son, Zhang Yang.

He is also the most successful one in the Zhang family, but this success has to be put in brackets. After all, he is a successful person relying on his father-in-law's family, so Chen Ye still doesn't think much of him.

She had met Zhang Yang's wife. She was a cute woman with a somewhat delicate personality but a positive outlook on life. She didn't know why this girl fell in love with Zhang Tiechui's son. Zhang Yang was really an ordinary person.

He has average abilities, looks, and height. In Chen Ye's opinion, there is nothing outstanding about him. Moreover, this person has a fatal flaw: he is fond of women and is easily influenced by others.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this man looks like a decent person. He is very respectful to his elders and father-in-law, and is a good husband to his wife. But he also has a childhood sweetheart outside.
