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

Master Wu accepted Ye Chencong, but he was still a worker, not an apprentice.

Ye Chencong stayed there and was taken care of by Master Wu. In the afternoon, Ye Laoer came over to deliver clothes and quilts.

The family was very happy to hear the news. They knew that their child had a skill and would never starve wherever he went.

Zhou asked Shen and Wei to go see Ye Qiu together. Ye Qiu had been suffering from severe morning sickness in recent days and had lost a lot of weight.

Zhou brought fresh eggs, Shen brought some pastries, and Wei brought pork. The Wei family’s pork stall had already been set up in Wu'an City, and business was pretty good.

Ye Qing came along to play. They gave the things to Grandma Sun and went into the house to talk to Ye Qiu.

"Auntie, have you been vomiting these past two days?"

"Sister-in-law is here, come and sit down. Qingya, there is food here, take it yourself, I won't go down. I have been much better these two days, and I won't vomit as long as I don't see meat."

"It's not good to eat only vegetarian food. How can vegetarian food nourish the body?" Wei thought that in order to nourish the body, one must eat meat.

"You can eat it, but you can't see it. You can eat it if you wrap it in dumplings. My mother-in-law has been making dumplings and wontons in different ways these days."

After hearing this, several people were satisfied. As long as they could eat it, any method would be fine.

After chatting for a while, they were ready to go home. There was a lot of work to do at home, so they had no time to rest.

"Sister-in-law, please ask your nieces to come and talk to me more often. I'm bored at home alone. Besides, I want a cute little girl."

Several people agreed, and Ye Qing followed them back. After talking for a while, Auntie was tired.

"Auntie, we're leaving now. Thank you for your hard work taking care of Ye Qiu recently." Zhou said politely.

Grandma Sun smiled with her teeth showing. "It's not hard. Ye Qiu is a hero in our family. I will cook whatever you want to eat. Don't leave. Stay for dinner."

"Auntie has something to do at home, so please stay for dinner next time. We'll leave first. You're old, so please don't see me off." Several people went back.

The three sisters-in-law went home separately. At this time of year, there was really a lot of work to do at home.

As soon as I got home, I saw my uncle sitting in the yard chatting with Old Man Ye, "Uncle is here."

"I'm here. I just arrived a while ago. Chat with uncle."

"Brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Usually at this time, Boss Zhou would have already gone up the mountain.

"Nothing much. I just came to ask how Master Gu is doing. I want to send my children there to learn to read a few words." Uncle Zhou Yi envied the fact that all the children in the Ye family were able to go to school. They didn't have the conditions before in the mountains, but now they have the conditions, so he sent them all to study for two days.

"Uncle, I think Master Gu is a very good man. His son has been studying with him. Although he is still young, you can tell that he is a child who knows etiquette." Ye Qing told him what he discovered when they went to pick wild vegetables together last time.

"They say words and deeds are the key. If a child is good, it's because the adults taught him well by setting a good example." Zhou Yi was no longer worried and stood up to leave.

"Has uncle decided on the time to go to school?" Ye Qing had been busy working in the fields in recent days and had missed this news.

"Start tomorrow and study for two days before the wheat harvest."

Zhou called her brother and gave the extra school bags at home to her nephews. They were sturdy and convenient for carrying books.

Ye Qing got up early and followed her three uncles to send her cousin to school. She loved to join in all kinds of fun.

More than twenty children have arrived at the gate of the private school, followed by their parents. Some of them are holding a bunch of vegetables, and some are holding rice, which are gifts for the teacher.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the door of the private school opened, and the head of the village came out with Master Gu.

"Everyone line up and come in one by one." The village head was still very prestigious. After he said that, everyone stood up consciously.

Ye Zhu was the first one in line. He was not too old, and his family wanted to see if he had any talent for studying.

Master Gu sat behind the table with a pen in his hand, glanced at Ye Zhu, and began to ask, "Name, how old are you, have you ever been to school?"

Ye Zhu bowed before speaking. "Master, my name is Ye Zhu. I am twelve years old and have studied for two years."

Master Gu wrote down the information in detail and then asked Ye Zhu to go to the room inside.

More than 20 children sat down quickly, and everyone saw how the room was divided: those who had studied sat in the inner room, and those who had not studied sat in the outer room.

The head of the village saw Ye Qing standing behind Zhou Yi and said, "Qingya, do you want to study? If you want to, I'll tell the teacher. You don't have to pay."

Ye Qing shook his head like a rattle, "No, my brother taught me at home."

Seeing that Ye Qing was truly unwilling, the village head did not force him and turned around to preside over the enlightenment ceremony.

Ye Qing was so scared that she patted her chest. After studying for so many years, she didn't want to study for a single day.

"Qingya doesn't charge you, why don't you read?"

"I have to help with housework at home and have no time to study."

Zhou Yi touched Ye Qing's head and praised him for being sensible.

All the children in the private school were arranged, and Master Gu began to teach them. There was nothing exciting to watch, so Ye Qing followed his uncle home.

As soon as he entered the door, Wangcai and Heizi pounced on him. Ye Qing didn't notice and staggered backwards.

"Wangcai and Heizi, just wait and see if I don't beat you up, you almost fell on me." A man and two dogs were playing and chasing each other in the yard.

"Where is my brother?"

"I went to the wasteland to check on the cotton. Last year you stubbled the cotton and the yield increased. Your brother was worried that I hadn't checked on the cotton for a few days and had delayed the stubble."

Ye Qing then realized that he had been too busy to go to the fields recently, luckily his brother was still thinking about him.

Ye Qing put on a hat and took Wangcai and Heizi to the wasteland. The watermelons and melons should have grown up.

"Qingya, why are you here? The private school activities are over."

"It's over. The teacher has given them all red dots. The head of the village is also here, helping the teacher maintain the formation."

Ye Dalang asked for some more details before continuing to work. There was no need to remove the cotton stubble, but there was a lot of grass growing in the peanut field, so all of it had to be removed.

The two of them were working and chatting, and Boss Ye came over carrying a shovel.

"Dad, we have piled up fertilizer over there in the dry land. Do we need to pile two more here?" Ye Dalang knew what Ye Lao Da was going to do.

"Okay, here are six of them. Let's take care of them slowly."

"Dad, it's hot now, so we can pile the compost for fewer days before turning it. We don't have to wait so long." Ye Qing had forgotten about this and only remembered it now.

Boss Ye remembered this carefully, as fertilizer for farming is a big deal.

"Dad, I haven't seen Third Uncle recently. What has he been busy with?" Ye Qing felt like he hadn't seen him for more than ten days.

"Your third uncle is helping the Wei family collect pigs. Their business in the city is good, so they don't have time to collect pigs." Ye Lao Da found out about this when he met Ye Lao San driving a ox cart out of the village in the morning.

When the sun went down, the three of them went home carrying the grass they had pulled out. This grass was what the pigs liked to eat.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhou and Li talking to each other, but both of them looked unhappy, and Zhou's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Grandma, what are you talking about? Did something happen?" Ye Qing was puzzled. He was so happy when he went out.
