After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

She cooked a few dishes that the children liked and also made Ye Qing her favorite dumpling soup.

Ye Dalang also did not forget his favorite fried tofu, and he took every child's preferences into consideration.

Every time the children come back, the family will light the lamp and eat. The children will talk about the interesting things they have encountered, and the family will also share with them. There is always endless talk.

When they got up in the morning, Ye Dalang took his two younger brothers to help Ye Qing build a charcoal kiln, but it was a little small and looked a little strange.

Actually, Ye Qing wanted his brother to help build a barbecue oven, but he didn't know how to describe it, so he just described it as a charcoal kiln, and then changed the details and it could be used.

It took three people half an hour to build a mini charcoal kiln. It was about one meter high and covered with yellow mud. It could be used after it dried.

The sun rose and the wind was not so cold. The eldest brother Ye took his children and the second brother Ye and his family and went to the pond in a mighty manner.

Boss Ye used a homemade scoop net and after a few scoops, he found two small fish in the net. They were much bigger than the ones he had released last year.

Boss Ye put the fish back. He and Boss Ye went to the drainage area, blocked an area with a net, and then made a hole to drain some of the water in the pond.

The water slowly flowed out, and there was less and less water in the pond.

"Wulang, you and your sixth brother watch here. Call us when the water gets high. We'll go to your second uncle's house to drain the water first." Boss Ye asked the second uncle's youngest son to stay here as well, and the two of them could keep each other company.

Ye Qing followed him to the pond at his second uncle's house. The two ponds were not far apart, only about fifty meters, and he could hear them by shouting.

Uncle Ye’s family also has an acre of pond. Last year, both families cleaned it out together, so this year they can directly plant lotus roots.

The seeds were bought by Boss Ye. They are sold specially at the market and can be planted directly after purchase.

Ye Qing also asked Boss Ye to bring some lotus seeds. He first ground the seed skins, soaked them for two days, and then planted them in the pond after they sprouted.

It was not summer yet and the water in the pond was very cold. Boss Ye did not let Ye Qing come down with him, but only asked her to help pass the sprouting seedlings on the shore.

Now there are no waterproof clothes, so I can only go into the water in my normal clothes, and I shivered from the cold after a while.

Ye Qing felt sorry for the situation and ran faster on the shore, delivering the gift to whoever didn't have it.

Fortunately, the sun was strong at the moment and it was warm up there, so we only had to stay in the water for half an hour before coming up to rest.

After returning home after planting, Li boiled a large pot of ginger soup and gave each person a large bowl.

"I don't want to drink the milk. I didn't go into the water." Ye Qing couldn't accept the taste of ginger.

"Then drink a bowl too. It's cool by the pond."

Ye Qing looked at his brothers who were laughing secretly beside him, closed his eyes, pinched his nose and drank a large bowl in one breath.

After drinking it, he quickly took the water handed to him by Zhou, took two sips, and felt a little better.

After drinking the ginger soup, Ye Laoer took Ye Sanlang and Ye Liulang home. A family in the village had ordered a wardrobe, but it had not been completed yet.

It was still early, Wu Lang took out a piece of paper and started practicing calligraphy. Ye Qing passed by and took a look, Wu Ge's calligraphy was getting better and better.

Ye Dalang was checking the oven that he had made in the morning. It was almost dry after being exposed to the sun for a day. It would be ready for use after another two days of exposure.

It is around the time of Grain Rain, and rice is still being planted in paddy fields. First, pull out the seedlings. Anyone who has done this job knows that it is easy to plant but difficult to pull out.

Ye Qing watched Ye Dalang standing in the paddy field, grabbing the roots of the seedlings and pulling them up with force. There was a large lump of mud on the pulled-up seedlings.

Lift the seedlings and shake them in the water to clean the mud from the roots. Tie the washed seedlings with rice straw and throw them in one place, and then pick them up together after pulling them out.

The water was cold. Ye Dalang quickly pulled the water out and walked to the edge of the field. Only then did the coldness on the soles of his feet subside a lot.

Boss Ye carried the seedlings pulled out by his son to the paddy field and planted them without much skill.

Kaoshan Village was originally located in the north, and the Ye family had never grown rice before. Last year was the first time they learned to grow rice, and now the rice is not ripe yet. The rice is planted evenly, but the rows are not very neat.

Ye Dalang went into the water again, remembering the advice of the teacher who taught them: to plant four seedlings every few tiles, which was just the right distance.

Ye Dalang was very slow in dividing the seedlings and it took a long time to tear them apart.

After Ye Qing discovered this, he helped to carefully separate the seedlings on the ridge of the field, and then handed the separated seedlings to his father and brother, which made the rice planting process much faster.

Ye Dalang aligned the roots of the seedlings with the tips of his index and middle fingers, and then inserted them into the water. The roots of the seedlings were firmly embedded in the soil.

Ye Dalang's technique of transplanting rice seedlings became more and more skilled, and the seedlings stretched out in rows of eight.

Boss Ye doesn't work as fast as Dalang Ye. After working for a while, he has to stand up, pat his waist, take a break and then continue working.

"Dad, you take a rest. I'll do it. There's not much left." Ye Dalang felt sorry for Ye Lao Da.

Boss Ye didn't try to be brave. He held his waist and walked to the edge of the field, sat down to rest and drink some water.

After distributing the seedlings, Ye Qing went back first. She wanted to go to her third grandfather's house first. The grass had grown, so she asked brother Ye Zhu to continue delivering grass to her home.

After the New Year, Li caught two more piglets to raise. The lotus leaves in the pond grew taller, so water was put back in so that he could continue to feed the fish and lobsters.

"Qingya, wait for me." The voice of my cousin from my uncle's family came from behind.

Ye Qing stopped and turned to look behind him. "Sister Zaohua, you went to the mountain."

"I picked some Chinese toon. The first harvest is the most delicious. I'll give you some." As he said this, he took out a large bundle tied with a rope from the backpack and handed it to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing didn't hesitate to eat this, fried eggs with Chinese toon, her favorite.

Blanch the Chinese toon in boiling water, then stir-fry it with eggs, and eat it with hot steamed buns. You can eat several of them.

"Sister Zaohua, I'll take it. Ask my aunt to cook less tonight. I'll cook a dish for you guys to try."

"I'll tell my mother when I get home. She'll definitely be waiting for your food."

The two separated at a fork in the road, and Ye Qing carried the Chinese toon home.

"My mother, sister Zaohua gave me some Chinese toon. I'll scramble it with eggs and have it tonight." Ye Qing washed the Chinese toon and handed it to Zhou.

Ye Qing went into the house, said hello to Li, and then went about his own business.

Feed the rabbit first, then go pick up the chicken and duck eggs. I’ve already picked them up once in the morning, and these are eggs laid in the afternoon.

Ye Qing worked hard for the whole afternoon and finally finished the dish with the help of Zhou.

Old Man Ye came back from the mountain. Some of the newly planted trees had sprouted at the base, so he went to break off the sprouts.

Boss Ye and Dalang Ye also came back. As soon as they entered the door, they felt something different.

"What delicious food did my mother cook at home? It smells so good." Ye Dalang washed his hands and asked Zhou while standing in the yard.

Old Man Ye's ears also pricked up. He smelled it when he came in, but he didn't have the courage to ask.
