After discussion at home, Ye Lian's matter has almost been settled.

Li Guilan also replied to the matchmaker.

After the Chinese New Year, the two families will find time to get together again and finalize the matter.

It snowed in Baishi Village, and the snow covered the mountain village.

The Houshan Militia also temporarily stopped training, and Ye Jianguo finally had time to deal with Ye Changning.

Ye Changning knelt on the bed and said, "Dad, you have to be reasonable. I go out to make money so that my family can live a better life."

Ye Jianguo held a stick in his hand and said, "No one told you to go out, but you would say anything and run away. You know your family will be worried."

Ye Changning: “…”

Maybe everyone knows it, Xiaoxiao knows it.

But now he can betray his comrades, and he can take it on himself.

Ye Changning: "I know I was wrong."

He admits his mistakes very quickly.

Ye Jianguo glared at him and asked, "Tell me what you have been doing outside for the past six months?"

Ye Changning said honestly: "I didn't do anything. I was selling clothes in the south. The ones I mailed back to you were all sold when I was there."

Ye Jianguo: "Since you have decided to go out, then behave yourself outside and don't do anything illegal or I will be the first to cut off your legs."

Ye Changning: "How dare I?"

Ye Jianguo actually cares about the children.

Seeing that Ye Changning admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, he stopped asking him about his resignation and other matters.

"The world outside is just like our village. If you want to live like that, come back home as soon as possible."

The tone is cold, but every word is full of care.

Ye Changning nodded and promised earnestly that he would work hard outside and come home if he failed.

"You went out with Yu Gang and Wang Sheng, why didn't Wang Sheng come back during the New Year?"

Because of this, the Wang family came to our house to listen to it several times.

Ye Changning: "Wang Sheng drives for his boss in the south. If he drives enough miles every month, he can earn a lot of money.

He didn't come back for the Chinese New Year, but he will probably come back in a while.

Although we went out together, we didn’t work together afterwards.”

Ye Changning spread his hands and said, "Everyone has his own aspirations, and we cannot force them."

Ye Jianguo missed someone again.

"Although that's the case, you grew up together, so you should always take care of each other when you're away from home. If Wang Sheng has something happen outside, you should tell your family in advance."

Ye Changning can still do this.

"Of course. He is my childhood friend after all. How can I care about him?"

Ye Jianguo asked Ye Changning to get up.

"Life at home is OK, you don't need to send money home every month."

Ye Changning didn't say anything, but he would definitely give money to his family regularly in the future.

He has just started, he needs to make more money to make life better for his family.

"Brother Xiao and Brother Jun have to take care of you at home. They can't go far away to work. Bao will go to school soon, and there are many ways to spend money at home.

There aren’t any good places to go near our village, and I don’t want to see how hard it is for my brother.”

Ye Jianguo sighed. He also knew that his son was actually capable and was just delayed in Baishi Village.

There is no place for him to realize his ambitions.

Ye Changning: "Brother, you are more familiar with ore. If there is a chance in the future, I will open a mine myself."

Ye Jianguo shook his head. "It's not that simple. You know how much money it makes to mine a lot of coal? And you don't guarantee that you will get something out of it. There are many coal bosses who have lost everything they have."

Ye Changning sighed: "Forget it, let's talk about this matter after our family has money. I suggest that you find a job in town. When the baby goes to school, you can live in town directly and don't have to travel back and forth."

Ye Jianguo: "What the hell do you mean?"

Ye Changning: "There are some ways to fight back, Dad, you don't have to take care of this matter."

Ye Jianguo actually approved of Ye Changning's doing this. If he could really find a job for Ye Changqing in the town, the children in the family would have a place to stay when they go to school in the future.

Although Miao Fengshan also lives in the town, Chang Ning and Chang Sheng used to live with their grandmother, but now the old lady is old and does not have enough energy to take care of the children.

Ye Changqing has a job in the town, and Zhang Xue can go with him.

The couple took their children and occasionally returned to Baishi Village to take a look.

He and Miao Cuifang are in good health, but they need their children to stay at home to take care of them.

However, Ye Jianguo did not hold much hope for Ye Changning.

Although the third child has loved making friends since he was young, it is not easy to find a job now.

Ye Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her third brother, An, coming out of the house.

"Third brother, you didn't get beaten, did you?"

Ye Changsheng was not that worried at first, "Dad will beat him."

In fact, Ye Jianguo has been very childish since the children were little.

The shadow from his childhood is still there, so the children in the family are very afraid of Ye Jianguo.

Ye Xiaoxiao was curious, would it really happen?

Just now Ye Changning was kneeling on the bed in fear.

Ye Changning waved his hands very gracefully, "Of course I'm fine."

"It's snowing nicely. Let's go to the woods to catch tits. Do you want to go?"

Ye Changning's peaceful gene was beating.

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Sparrow?"

In her memory, sparrows were protected animals and could be caught at will.

Ye Changning: "If you are lucky, you can even catch a pheasant."

The 꺶-type animals are all active in the back hills, while the 놊-type animals love to go to the woods by the river, where there are more birds.

Ye Xiaoxiao jumped up and down to try.

But it's too cold outside.

Ye Changsheng also stopped her, saying, "It's still windy outside, the net is wet, and it's so cold, Xiaoxiao, don't go out."

Ye Changning: "Then let's go when the snow stops."

Ye Changsheng: "Will there be any fish in the village this year? The river must be frozen."

Ye Changning said: "It should happen once before the New Year."

Baishi Village is still very poor, and people break the ice on the river to catch fish every year in order to improve the villagers' living standards.

Because the village is isolated from the outside world, except for the fish in the village river, the fish from outside are transported to Baishi Village.

Fish is a relatively rare food in Baishi Village.

Ye Xiaoxiao asked: "Is it a fishing event where they auction off the king fish?"

She had seen this kind of ice fishing on TV and it was very ceremonial.

Ye Changning knew what Ye Xiaoxiao was talking about.

"They will sell it... Usually the village will divide it among the families."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Then our family can also get a share."

Ye Changning: "It should be possible. The first time every year, the number of fish will be very impressive."

Ye Xiaoxiao is looking forward to this fishing activity.

It seemed that he died by falling into the ice hole left by the fish.

So she missed the event last year.

It snowed outside for a whole day and night. By the next morning, the snow on the ground was more than a foot thick. This was after clearing it the night before.

Miao Cuifang and Zhang Xue got up in the morning, heated up the kangs in each room, and filled the kettles with hot water.

Ye Changqing and Ye Jianguo cleared the snow in the yard.
