Zhang Yingqi brought his wife and children and followed Boss Ye into the house.
Mrs. Ye came over immediately to greet them and welcomed Jiang and Huzi to the west room.
"My boys will be back soon. Let them play with you later."
Jiang soon started chatting with Ye Ersao.
As soon as Zhang Yingqi entered the room, Ye Juaner quickly stood up and said, "You have guests, I won't disturb you. I'm going out to eat first."
Boss Ye first carried Qingtian to the kang.
Qingtian immediately became close to Old Lady Ye.
"Grandma misses you so much!" Old Mrs. Ye hugged Qingtian and couldn't say enough about her love for him.
Zhang Yingqi heard this and asked, "Brother Ye, where are you coming from?"
"Didn't Qingtian tell you? Your sister-in-law recently opened a dumpling restaurant in Beijing, so our family went to Beijing.
"The reason I came back today is because Qingtian went to your place and bought clothes for everyone in the family. We came back to give them to them."
"So I really got lucky!" Zhang Yingqi didn't expect that he almost came up empty-handed.
Old Madam Ye heard about the fabric and asked Qingtian, "What fabric?"
"Grandma, I went to Tianjin with Master Lu to buy some things. Uncle Zhang said it was a good deal on fabrics, so I bought some for everyone in my family."
After Qingtian finished speaking, he turned to look at Boss Ye and said, "Dad, where is the fabric I bought?"
"We were all in the car, and I forgot about it when I saw your Uncle Zhang.
"Wait, Dad will get it for you!"
Boss Ye walked out as he spoke, and soon came back with a dozen paper bags in his arms.
The people who helped build the house were already having lunch in the yard. Seeing this, they all asked, "What good things have you bought for the family?"
"Hey, I didn't buy any of this!" Ye Laoda said proudly, "This is the fabric Qingtian bought for his family with his own New Year's money.
"She said summer is coming soon and she wants to make clothes for the family!"
After saying this, Boss Ye went into the house, leaving everyone in the yard talking.
"Qingtian is only five years old this year, right? That's all he knows?
"My little girl is almost ten years old, and all she does every day is eat and sleep like an idiot. Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating!"
"That's where you're wrong. Why do you have to compare yourself to a sunny day?
"Qingtian could write and do math at the age of five, so he's naturally much more sensible."
"That's right. When I saw Boss Ye and his wife sending their daughter to school, the villagers said they were showing off!
"Now look at this, this is the difference between reading and not reading!"
"Sending my daughter to school? That's easy for you to say. How can ordinary people like us have such ability?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Although the people of Da Qi were relatively civilized, most private schools did not accept female students.
Only in places like the capital are there girls' schools.
Rich families can even hire someone to teach their girls at home.
Ordinary people dare not even think about it.
"After all, it's the Ye family that makes money." After a long silence in the yard, someone suddenly said this.
Upon hearing this, Ye Dongkui put down the bowl in his hand and said, "His family did make some money, but after building this house, I'm afraid there won't be much left. They might even starve."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking again.
"That's right! Not only do they insist on building brick houses, but they also build so many of them at once. It's going to cost a lot of money!"
"Look at what you're saying. If they hadn't built so many houses, would you have been able to get paid and have food provided?"
"Oh, look at you, you're so picky, and I didn't say anything else."
Ye Qinggang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Who doesn't want to build a house when they have money?
“If I make money, the first thing I will do is build a brick house!
“Who wants to live in a mud house all their life?”
"That's true..."
These words immediately touched everyone's heart.
I remember how many people in the village envied the village chief when he built a brick house.
Even for many people in the village, the biggest wish in their lifetime is to live in a brick and tile house.
But how many families, after working hard all their lives, still cannot save enough money to build a brick house?
Now everyone has seen with their own eyes the brick and tile house of the Ye family being built bit by bit under their own hands. It would be a lie to say that they are not envious.
Ye Qinggang continued, "Anyway, I have made up my mind. After the autumn harvest this year, I will go to the capital to find a job.
"I just don't believe it. I have all the strength in my arms and legs. As long as I work hard, how can I not make money?"
As soon as Ye Qinggang said this, the other men of the same age in the yard fell silent.
Yes, everyone has arms and legs, and we have nothing less than others.
If the people in the Ye family can go out and make a living, why can't I?
Although no one spoke anymore, many people had already secretly made up their minds to go out and try their luck after the autumn harvest.
Boss Ye didn't know that his show-off just now actually aroused the ambition of many people in the village to make more money.
He was sitting in the room chatting with Zhang Yingqi, and looking at the sunny day on the kang with a doting look on his face.
She was opening the bags of fabrics one by one and showing them to Old Mrs. Ye.
Even Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Jiang, who were chatting in the west room before, were attracted over.
"This is for grandma!" Qingtian shook out a piece of purple cloth and put it on Old Mrs. Ye.
Old Madam Ye smiled from ear to ear, but she said, "Oh, this color is too bright. I can't wear it outside at my age. I'd better take it back and make clothes for your mother!"
