Chapter 051
Ye Damin had studied and worked as a shopkeeper in the town for two years when he was in his hometown in Shu. He had seen some people in the world.
However, in the eyes of Mr. Ye, it is still not enough.
When I was in Shu, I only went to the county town. When my family was in Hongfeng Village, I had been to Qingzhou Prefecture twice, but I always came and went in a hurry.
I have few worlds, my horizons are not broad enough, and my mind is simple.
What Ye Damin could see was the benefits that Mr. Lin personally came to sign a contract with his family to his family, and he should not think too much about other possibilities.
After hearing what Mr. Ye said, Ye Damin didn't think deeply. Seeing that there were not many bamboo strips and rattans at home, he went to the study and called Ye Qing. Ye Zhan went into the mountain to cut bamboo rattans together.
Since signing a contract with the Lin family, the father and son have entered the mountain more frequently.
Whether it is bamboo or rattan, there are many things to do. You can't cut all the bamboo and rattan in one place, so you can only cut it into the mountains, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive than before.
Watching Ye Damin, who had no other thoughts, bring his two sons into the mountain, Ye Dad couldn't help but sigh.
It is impossible to count on Ye Damin to revitalize the Ye family, so I can only place my hope on a few grandchildren.
He quickly put his training on the agenda for his grandsons, especially for Ye Shen, who was named by Master Huijue.
But Ye Shen is still young, and even if he wants to enlightenment, he has to wait until the beginning of next spring. Then the first one to put it on the agenda will naturally be the two eldest grandsons.
Recently, whenever Xie Huang came to Ye’s family, Dad Ye would inquire about the town’s private schools and schools. He had personally visited Qianye Town to conduct on-site investigations, but he was still a little unsure of it.
There are three private schools in Qianye Town and a school funded by Fang Yuanwai’s family.
Through understanding, Mr. Ye felt that each had his own strengths, and of course, he was most optimistic about the private school that Xie Huang once attended.
The failure of Xie Huang to read it does not mean that the teacher in the private school is incompetent.
Most of the scholars who have been produced in Chiba Town over the years come from this private school.
Of course, Shu Yu of this private school is also the highest among all private schools and schools in Chiba Town. In addition, the Master is also quite strict about the introductory exams and requirements for children who go to study.
Dad Ye silently calculated the existing money at home. In addition to the necessary expenses at home, it was indeed difficult for the existing money to take care of the two grandchildren to go to a private school.
but……
Dad Ye turned his eyes to the fruit trees planted on the slope outside the courtyard, and finally made up his mind.
The issue of sending two eldest grandsons to school cannot be delayed anymore. The expenses that can be pushed back slightly should be pushed back first and then should be pushed back as much as possible, and the opportunity to expand enrollment in the private school in the autumn will be sent to school.
Dad Ye was even more idle when he thought about this. He put down the tobacco pipe in his hand, stood up and walked into the corner where the farm tools were placed. He planned to take a hoe and go to the field to take a look.
As the weather gets hotter and the fruits are ripe one after another, he has to arrange the picking time in advance.
Through Xie Huang, who was the second shopkeeper in Qianye Town, the Ye family's fruits were not reserved except for the grapes specially designated by Ye Shen and Lin Wan, who had not been booked, and the other fruits had been found and sent to Qianye Town when the fruits were ripe.
This will naturally have both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the Ye family no longer needs to sell the fruits themselves after picking them, and they are free from trouble and worry-free and perfectly avoid the word "business".
The disadvantage is that the price is relatively low.
For Mr. Ye, who is determined to let his grandchildren go on the road to imperial examinations, this is the best choice.
Dad Ye walked to the corner where the farm tools were placed but stopped because he found two used pottery basins in this corner.
The two pottery pots are planted with flowers and grass, and two old pruned trees.
Dad Ye naturally knew that one of them was the old plum tree that Ye Shen begged to enter the mountain, and finally asked Ye Zhan to dig back for him, and the other one was the old pine tree that Ye Damin helped Lin Wan dig back.
Although I knew the origin of these two trees, when I saw them again, I surprised Dad Ye.
These two old trees were obviously artificially pruned, which is very different from when they were just dug back. After some old trees were repaired, they gave people a pleasing feeling.
"Grandma, this is mine, that is my sister. I practiced it together with my sister. Isn't it very good?" Ye Shen suddenly heard a little proud voice from beside him.
He looked down at the two little dots who appeared at his feet at some point. He saw two delicate little faces looking at him with the same expression on their faces. Dad Ye couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Well, it looks good. It's a pity to put it in this corner. Do you want Grandpa to help you move into the house?"
Ye Shen looked at Lin Wan hesitantly, and finally looked up at Dad Ye and said, "Grandma, let me keep it here for now. I will ask my dad to dig a tree like this for me and my sister. When my sister and I will build the newly dug back like this, I will definitely look good before I put it in the main hall and at the entrance of the yard!"
Ye Shen begged Ye Damin and some help him dig back the old plum tree in order to make money, so he naturally had to find the right time to put it in a place that some people could see at a glance, and it would not work if they put it back in the house.
Lin Wan's old pine tree was dug back by Lin Wan in the crack of the stone behind the slope.
Everyone thought Lin Wan was following her and just following her.
Even Ye Shen had the same idea. He really had no idea about what Lin Wan could prune this old pine tree.
But what he didn't expect was that after Lin Wan's "cutting and repairing randomly", this old pine tree showed a different style.
He had carefully observed Lin Wan's pruning technique and found that her pruning of pine trees was really out of order. Basically, it can be said that she would cut everything here and there today. However, after a few days, the old pine trees were "routinely" pruned into their current appearance by her, and it looked even more interesting than his old plum trees.
"Grandma, Uncle Xie Er said yesterday that such a tree might make a lot of money." Dad Ye was about to pick up the hoe, but when he heard Ye Shen say again, his heart jumped. He remembered the bonsai that he had seen in a wealthy family before, and he couldn't help but taste it carefully.
This look really made Mr. Ye, who was a little sensible, see the possibility of making money!
Next time the Lin family comes, you may try to put these two trees out and show your face.
Ye Shen was thinking about making money, but a sense of crisis arose in his father Ye’s heart.
In his eyes, all three grandsons are smart, but he is most optimistic about Ye Shen. After all, only Ye Shen is criticized by Master Huijue!
