Chapter 309: A Visit from My Mother's Family
Song Yu spoke and Zhang Juexia listened.
Ye Beixiu walked down from the other side of the mountain. He and Ren Tianxing stood at the door and talked.
Song Yu saw Ye Beixiu through the gap in the window and looked at Zhang Juexia with a smile, "Your husband is here to pick you up. Hurry up and take the account book home to check it!"
Zhang Juexia was pushed out by the smiling Song Yu. She shook her head helplessly and walked out.
When I got closer, I heard that Ye Beixiu and Ren Tianxing were talking about how to take care of the legs in the later stages.
Zhang Juexia then remembered that he was so busy that he forgot to ask how Ren Tianxing's leg was recovering.
She originally wanted to ask, but Ren Tianxing directly performed a martial arts move to show off to Ye Beixiu.
"Brother Bei Xiu, do you think my legs are recovering faster than yours?"
"Um."
"That's all thanks to you guys. To be honest, I'm even less willing to leave here. Not only is the scenery here beautiful, but the people are also nice."
"Brother Ren, this is your home. You can stay here as long as you want."
"That would be great."
Ren Tianxing felt a little embarrassed when he saw that both the couple were talking to him, "Well, you two must have something to do, go and do it!
Brother Bei Xiu, let's find some time to discuss martial arts."
After returning from the workshop, Ye Beixiu took the silver to Ye Jidong's house, and Zhang Juexia gave him some instructions again.
Ye Beixiu responded with a smile.
Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu's back and felt that he had been a little too long-winded just now.
But he listened to the whole thing without a trace of impatience, and said goodbye to me with a smile at the end.
Thinking of this, she felt sweet in her heart.
After Ye Beixiu left, Zhang Juexia boiled some hot water, tidied up the house, made a cup of tea, and sat at the table to look at the account book.
Only after Ye Beixiu came back did she move her almost stiff body.
Ye Beixiu helped her light the lamp and briefly told her what happened at Ye Jidong's house.
"My dear, the village head told us that there's a piece of wasteland in Yejia Village. Do you want it?"
"Wait a moment, see if we have enough manpower, or let me finish sorting out the accounts first."
"I replied the same way, Grandpa Lizheng. My wife, you've worked so hard. We've been so busy these past two days. Let's go to bed early!"
Have a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Liu Wanfeng knocked on the door with a bag of change and his simple account book.
After seeing Liu Wanfeng off, Ye Yunhai also arrived, bringing the same things as Liu Wanfeng. "Bei Xiu, the food we collected has been placed in the back warehouse as you instructed. It's perfect since you're home right now. I'll find two people and we can weigh it, how about that?"
Ye Beixiu hurriedly accompanied Ye Yunhai to the backyard, and Zhang Juexia followed closely behind.
She looked at the neatly arranged grain in the warehouse and felt inexplicably excited.
Several people weighed themselves, and although the results did not exceed expectations, they were already very good.
At least, there is white flour to eat and no longer have to worry about going hungry.
Ye Beixiu was also in a good mood. After finishing his work, he insisted on inviting Ye Yunhai and the others to have tea in front.
Ye Yunhai did not refuse. He originally thought that this distant nephew, after passing the imperial examination for a so-called military scholar, would drift further away from everyone else.
I didn't expect it to be so down to earth.
Ye Yunhai lost control of himself and burst into laughter.
Zhang Juexia saw that he was really happy and deliberately said, "Uncle Yunhai, you are smiling so happily because you know I am going to give out bonuses."
"What? What?"
"It seems that Eryong is very tight-lipped. He didn't tell you when he came back!"
Ye Yunhai continued to complain, "Don't mention Qin Eryong, he's so tight-lipped he can't be pried open. To be honest, based on Eryong's current performance, everyone admires Bei Xiu.
Back then, Qin Eryong was a notorious rogue in the village, but after less than a year with Bei Xiu, he's already become quite capable. The change is truly enormous."
Zhang Juexia was amused by Ye Yunhai's exaggerated expression. "Uncle Yunhai, back then everyone was starving and he had nothing to do. Now, he's out and about every day, so his horizons have naturally broadened."
“That’s right. Even though I had a bullock cart and traveled outside before, the people I met were always from the same village. There weren’t any new faces.
It’s different now. Some of the important people in the town have started to treat me as their brother.
Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you two young people.”
"That's also the result of your own hard work, Uncle Yunhai."
Ye Yunhai really liked what Zhang Juexia said.
After drinking a few bowls of tea, Ye Yunhai expressed his loyalty to Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia, and then went back to work.
As soon as Ye Yunhai left, someone knocked on the door again. Ye Beixiu stood up and said, "I'll go check it out."
Outside the door, Zhang Dequan and his wife, along with Dazhuang and Erzhuang, heard someone open the door and hurriedly leaned over. When they saw that it was Ye Beixiu, they were very happy, "It really is our son-in-law!"
Ye Beixiu was also happy to see Zhang Dequan and the others, and hurriedly shouted, "Madam, look who's here?"
Zhang Juexia ran out and welcomed Zhang Dequan and his family into the house.
Zhang Dequan and Wang Yuying walked and looked, "Good, it's really good. After your brother Dazhuang and his family went back, they only talked about how good your family is. Now we can finally see it."
Zhang Juexia asked Zhang Dequan and Wang Yuying to sit down, made another cup of tea, and let them drink it.
Zhang Dequan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Yesterday, when Dazhuang and I went to the town to deliver eggs, I heard from Shopkeeper Wan that Beixiu had passed the military examination.
When I got home, I couldn't sit still. I brought my whole family here early this morning. My son-in-law is so successful, so we came here to celebrate."
After that, he took out five taels of silver and placed it on the table. "It's not much, but it's our token of appreciation. To be honest, the Zhang family has never had a scholar for many years."
From now on, when I go out, I will be someone who has something to talk about. My son-in-law has passed the imperial examination, and our Zhang family will be proud to talk about it."
Ye Beixiu said modestly, "Uncle, Juexia and I are already very happy that you can come."
Zhang Juexia stood up and poured Zhang Dequan more tea. "Uncle, Bei Xiu is right. It's not easy for you and your aunt to earn some money. Just take the money back! We appreciate your kindness."
Zhang Dequan stared, "What? Are you thinking it's too little?"
Wang Yuying was so frightened that she quickly stood up and said, "Juexia, your uncle is just such a straightforward person. Don't take it to heart."
"How could that be!"
Ye Beixiu glanced at Zhang Juexia and said, "Since it's a gift from uncle, we'll accept it. Thank you so much, uncle and aunt."
He bowed respectfully, and Zhang Dequan smiled and stood up to help him up. "That's right, Juexia is our Zhang family's daughter. Logically, I should come on the day you invite me to dinner."
