Chapter 72 Buying Land
Old Lady Ye stood up and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, do what you need to do. I also have to go make spicy soup."
He turned back to look at Ye Caiping and said, "Caiping, just take a break."
"Okay, I just happen to have something to go out for." Ye Caiping was not worried that Old Mrs. Ye would be tired.
If one of Ye Daquan's brothers delivers goods, it is not just about loading and unloading goods and following the truck.
When I'm at home, I would fetch water, pour water, light the fire for them, scoop soup and help them, so I can do it alone.
"Jinhua, let's go and make some clothes!" Mrs. Du felt itchy when she thought of the cloth.
Ye Jinhua was also eager to try, and the mother and daughter ran out in a hurry.
Wei was worried, but when she thought of the cloths, she became cheerful and pulled Yinhua to chase after Du's mother and daughter.
Everyone left the main room. Ye Caiping stood up and was about to leave, but she found Ye Jiner sitting there motionless with a grim look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Ye Caiping walked over, "Did you hurt your foot?"
Ye Jin'er lowered her head guiltily: "I didn't feel any pain when I went to the market this morning, but after eating and sitting for a long time...it actually hurts a little."
"You told me not to go but you insisted on going." Ye Caiping sighed softly, feeling a little distressed, "Let's go back to the room first."
Ye Caiping helped her up, and Ye Huaner also came over to help her when she saw this.
After returning to the room, Ye Caiping asked her to take off her shoes and socks, and then unwrapped the ointment that Doctor Zhao had packed yesterday. She saw a big swelling on her ankle, and Ye Caiping couldn't help but gasp.
She still has one more trading opportunity in her system, and can buy some plasters.
But both the material of the patch and the bottle are not available in this era, and it is not easy to get them out.
"Huan'er, go and ask Doctor Zhao to come over."
"Um."
Huan'er ran out quickly, and soon Doctor Zhao came.
Doctor Zhao looked at the swollen ankle and couldn't help but mutter:
"Did you run around? Why can't you stay still, little girl? It's nothing serious, it's just that the rest period has been changed from three days to seven days. Don't run around anymore."
As he spoke, he took out the ointment he had prepared long ago, applied it to the swelling, and wrapped it with layers of cloth.
"Change the medicine every day. I'll come again tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Ye Caiping paid for the medicine and Doctor Zhao left.
Ye Jin'er was completely depressed: "I'm sorry, Mom, I shouldn't have been so willful..."
Ye Caiping sat next to her: "Is there anything I'm sorry about? It's okay."
It's just a small matter, there's no need to blame or scold too much.
It is the nature of little girls to want to go shopping and buy clothes. It’s okay to be a little willful occasionally.
Ye Jiner pouted and threw herself into Ye Caiping's arms.
Ye Caiping sighed and laughed, and could only stroke her hair.
After tucking her daughter into a trance, Ye Caiping began to pack up.
She took out the light blue cotton cloth that she had picked out in the morning. The cloth shop had already cut it into four pieces for her, each piece being 10 feet long.
Ye Caiping put four pieces of cloth into the basket, put in forty eggs, covered it with coarse cloth, and then put it away.
Ye Huan'er sat aside, watching with her chin in her hand.
Ye Jin'er sat on the bed: "Where are you going, mother?"
"The last time I went to Lijia Village to pick you up, it was all thanks to the help of your village head grandfather and second grandfather that everything went smoothly."
"I have been busy since then and have no time to thank them. I remembered it when I was buying cloth today, so I went there. Let's go, Huan'er."
Ye Caiping went out with the basket, and Ye Huaner followed behind her, skipping and jumping.
Originally, I wanted to take Jin'er with me, but her leg was injured, so I only took Huan'er with me.
Came to Uncle Ye’s house.
Uncle Ye was smoking a water pipe at the door. Ye Caiping couldn't help but laugh when she saw him.
Like her father, they both like to sit at the door and smoke. They are indeed brothers.
"Caiping is here." Uncle Ye put down his water pipe.
"Where are my second aunt and the kids?" Ye Caiping said as she walked in.
As soon as she finished speaking, Second Aunt Ye came out from the main room: "I'm here, come in and sit down."
Ye Caiping came into the house and took out a 10-foot-long folded cloth. "Last time I was divorced, you went to Lijia Village to help me out. Later, when I woke up, you followed me to Lijia Village to pick up people. I haven't thanked you yet. I was so busy during this period that I finally found some time."
As he spoke, he counted out ten eggs and placed them on the table.
Second Uncle Ye waved his hand: "It's nothing. Family members have to help each other. If you have to thank us for this, we won't dare to help you again in the future."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "It's not that I've separated from you, it's just that I haven't been filial to you for so long since I came back. I went to the town to buy some cloth this morning, and I got an extra portion."
At this point, Uncle Ye couldn't refuse and said with a smile, "You are so thoughtful."
Ye Caiping chatted with them for a few minutes and then left with Ye Huaner.
Aunt Ye touched the cloth and was slightly surprised: "Old man, this is cotton cloth!" She thought it was just dyed coarse cloth.
Uncle Ye touched the cloth and smiled even more happily: "Aren't you worried about making clothes for Wuquan these days? This cloth is just what you need."
"Yes. This cotton cloth is very nice! Let Wuquan wear it when we go to propose marriage in a few days."
After leaving Uncle Ye's house, we came to Ye Zhuzi's house.
Zhuzi's wife took the cloth and eggs and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
Next are Tie Niu’s family and Li Zheng’s family.
After arriving at Zhao Tieniu's house, Ye Caiping put down her things and asked about the teacher.
When Tie Niu's wife learned that she was going to find a teacher for Ye Xuan, she was very impressed:
"I only know a little about studying, so why not ask the kid in the mountains directly? By the way, he happens to be on holiday tomorrow, so I'll ask him to come to your house and ask whatever you want to ask."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have to go to the women's household tomorrow morning and will be free in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll let him go this afternoon."
Tie Niu's wife knew that she was going to the headman's house, so she smiled and saw her out.
…
Ye Li was weaving a basket. When she saw Ye Caiping and Huan'er coming over, she smiled and said, "I knew you would come."
"How did the village chief know this?"
Ye Lizheng let the person in and said, "Didn't you just ask those officials for a daughter? I guessed that you didn't want to get married for the time being, and you must want to build a house and move out first."
As he spoke, he nodded to himself: "That's right, take your time to choose. After one or two years of choosing, it won't be too late to find a good one and then marry."
Ye Caiping did not refute and sat down at the table.
The headman's wife in the room hurried out to pour tea.
Ye Lizheng took out a notebook and spread it on the table. It was a map of the village, and it marked which piece of land belonged to which person and which was empty.
"There are no vacant houses in the village. If you really want to move out, you can only build one yourself."
"I just plan to build it myself." Ye Caiping took the tea handed to her by the headman's wife.
Ye Lizheng nodded: "Where do you plan to build it? There is no vacant land next to your house."
"I've already picked it out. It's located at the end of the village, close to the foot of the mountain. Here!" Ye Caiping pointed to a place in the picture.
Ye Lizheng was startled: "Isn't this too far away? It's not safe."
"It's okay, my parents will live with me then." Ye Caiping looked at the map. Her current home was also at the end of the village, only about three hundred meters away from her chosen location.
