A virtuous wife brings few misfortunes.

Ye Yaodong is very contented, and Ah Qing is already very trouble-free and capable.

No one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings, big and small. She is a rural woman who has never seen the world and is already very good.

He felt that he had found a treasure without marrying a shrew, not to mention that she could take care of the house and manage the money well.

"You treat me like a child?" Lin Xiuqing chuckled, "Go to bed early, you will be busy tomorrow."

"It's okay that I didn't run out. I just need to walk around the village. I'll be tired if I run out."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Once you recognize your godfather, you will definitely visit her as soon as you come back. Whenever you go to the city, you have to go there and walk around."

"Well, go to sleep, go to sleep. I have been running out for the past two days and I didn't ask Azheng and the others when the boat would come back. When the people were still on it, they said it was ready to go. I didn't even bother to treat guests to dinner the day before yesterday.

While talking, I kept greeting my father-in-law, and then went to greet Hong Wenle."

"I heard that I have been watching for several days, and I don't know when I will come back, so I haven't decided yet. If you have time tomorrow, go and ask in advance. Everyone has come back, so you should have made your choice. We will just drive back and it will be bustling.

Celebrate the Chinese New Year.”

Ye Yaodong sighed, "There are so many things..."

"Where is this? I was so busy during the New Year's Day. There is one more thing I have to ask you. When will we stop drying fish and take a break for the New Year? The weather is really good now and it hasn't rained.

, it’s cold, the wind blows, and it dries easily. It looks much more beautiful when exposed to the sun than in the summer, so I want to let people dry it for a longer time.”

"Then work until the 28th day of the lunar calendar and then rest."

"Ah! Twenty-eight? It's too late. Who is still working at this time?"

"What's wrong with twenty-eight? The New Year's Eve dinner is not only eaten at thirty, not to mention there are several people in the family, so the old aunts have to do the work."

"I'm still thinking about working until around the 20th of the new year, and giving the women who kill fish a holiday so that they can buy new year's goods and clean up their homes."

"They are probably very happy to continue working until they are twenty-eight and earn money. What's more, we are paid based on work. If they don't want to do it or don't have time to do it, there are many people in the village who are willing to do it."

"That's okay. I'll talk to them tomorrow. If anyone is unavailable, I'll call someone else in advance."

"Oh, yes, you hired someone to take care of the fruit mountain at your house? Are there any fruits left? Are there any oranges left?"

"It seems that they have all been taken away by the cannery. My second brother went back to supervise the collection and gave me a small half bag. I couldn't finish it. I divided it among my neighbors and relatives."

"Then when it's empty, ask your relatives over there to ask if they have any sugar cane. When the time comes, those who have worked until the 28th day of the lunar calendar will be given a bundle of sugar cane, and it will be used as a new year's gift."

Sugarcane has a good meaning. Each section is higher, which means each section is taller than the other.

"That's okay, after all, I've been doing it until twenty-eight."

"Forget it if you go to bed early, and you haven't made it to the New Year, so there is no need to give out New Year's goods. Those who make it to the New Year will receive some benefits."

"Okay, I'll call back tomorrow and ask my uncle."

…

The couple waited until they had finished talking before going to bed. For most of the year, they had talked so much tonight that they both got up late the next day.

Ye Xiaoxi was awake, but the couple was still sleeping, and they were still sleeping together, with the quilt well covered, but the child was sleeping at his feet, and the quilt was kicked somewhere.

After waking up, she sat up and rubbed her eyes, then looked at her parents who were still sleeping. Out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a bunch of colorful hairpins placed next to Ye Yaodong's pillow.

Her eyes lit up and she immediately climbed out of bed and stood beside the bed to get her hairpin.

Looking at her father's handsome sleeping face, she felt that it matched her hairpin very well. She muttered and put the hairpin on her father's head again.

"Why did you just take it down..."

"How beautiful... colorful..."

"Dad, you have to thank me for dressing you up beautifully...there are no dogs..."

These hairpins of hers are not duckbill hairpins, they are rattling ones that have to be opened manually and then pressed to her forehead.

In his sleep, Ye Yaodong only felt that someone was pressing his head. When he woke up, he felt another hand grabbing his hair on top of his head.

"What are you doing?"

He touched his head and found several hairpins.

Ye Xiaoxi slapped his hand fiercely, "Don't take it off!"

"If you have a cold, go to the ground without any clothes on."

Ye Yaodong picked her up and put her on the bed, and Lin Xiuqing was also awakened by his movements.

"What time is it?"

"If you don't know, keep sleeping. Don't worry about her. There's no need to sleep. Get up before dawn..."

After muttering, he pulled up the quilt and held his wife in his arms. He ignored his daughter and let her play as long as she didn't go to the ground.

However, he couldn't sleep because she kept touching her head here and there, so he could only close his eyes and relax and let her mess around.

After she finished styling, Ye Yaodong couldn't feel the movement above his head and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, the sun was shining through the cracks in the window.

"Dad, you wake up!"

Ye Yaodong opened his eyes and was almost startled. There was a row of dog heads squatting beside the bed, all looking at him. They were arranged neatly from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, with a human head in the middle.

He lifted it up in one breath, let it go again, and patted his chest, "What are you doing! It's so scary so early in the morning, why did you bring so many dogs into the room?"

"Do you think the dogs are beautiful?" Ye Xiaoxi smiled, showing two rows of teeth, and then touched each dog's head with one hand.

Ye Yaodong already somewhat understood what Lin Xiuqing said about people being tired of dogs. He was only four years old and was already ahead of schedule.

There was a row of dogs beside the bed, and each dog had a hairpin on its head. Regardless of whether they were male or female, these dogs were so obedient to her.

"Gungun, go out and play by yourself, and take the dogs out."

Ye Xiaoxi took a round mirror with a red plastic frame and held it up to him, "Look, it looks good!"

Ye Yaodong took the mirror and knocked her on the forehead, then put the mirror on the table and took off the hairpin from her head.

"No, you said you wanted to clip it yesterday, but you can't take it."

She climbed onto the bed using all her strength and grabbed his hand.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, just do whatever you say, let's go out and play."

"No, I have to follow you, otherwise you will be a big liar if you run away."

Ye Yaodong flicked her forehead and had no choice but to get up first.

After being interrupted by her so early in the morning, he didn't feel cold anymore and quickly put on his clothes.

"What time is it?"

"Five o'clock!"

Ye Yaodong looked at the dazzling sunlight at the crack of the window, "Five o'clock? How much time difference is there between you and me?"

He looked at the watch on the table and saw it was half past eight.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm full."

"Let's go, go out."

The old lady was sitting at the door basking in the sun. She heard the movement in the house and went in to take a look.

"Ouch? What are you doing?"

Ye Yaodong looked down at Ye Xiaoxi's head full of hairpins, and then touched the same style on his own head. The dogs around him also wore colorful hairpins, which was a bit funny.

"They pinned my hair all over my head while I was sleeping, and I wasn't allowed to take it off."

"nice!"

"How can I go out when you call me like that?"

"Everyone compliments me on how good-looking I am."

"Then go out and show everyone!"

She hesitated and said, "Then you are not allowed to take it down. I will be back soon."

Ye Yaodong went to wash up first and ignored her.

But before he could finish washing, Azheng and Xiaoxiao came over and laughed at his appearance.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this a standard feature in your home? From humans to dogs?"

"Not to mention, it's really easy to identify them. You can tell they are a family at a glance! From the humans to the dogs, they are not outsiders!"

"Goudong is not wrong at all!"

"Your dogs are treated pretty well..."

Ye Yaodong glared at them, washed up first, and then when he was done, he freed his hands, took off all the hairpins on his head, and put them on the table.

He shouldn't buy so many, just buy a few at will, otherwise it will bring disaster to him.
