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

Ye Qing thought about it, the paddy fields had been harvested, the dry land had been restored, the medicinal herbs in the forest had been sold. And what else, oh, there was also wasteland, after thinking for a while, he remembered that the peanuts had not been harvested.

The peanuts were tender a couple of days ago, but I didn’t have time to pick some and cook them. These days they have become old and not as delicious as they were then.

The number of peanuts planted was not large, so Old Man Ye did not ask the three Xu brothers to help. Instead, he took his family to harvest the peanuts.

Harvesting peanuts is a delicate job. Boss Ye and Old Man Ye are picking peanuts in the front.

Zhou and her two children were picking peanuts in the back. After the peanuts were pulled out, some fell into the soil.

Use a hoe to dig the soil little by little and find out the peanuts hidden in the soil little by little.

It took two days to bring all the peanuts from the field home, and then another day to search the entire field.

The peppercorns on the mountain can be harvested. This is the second year, and not many are produced.

Ye Dalang and Ye Qing wandered around the mountain for a few days and harvested about ten kilograms.

Fresh Sichuan peppercorns are very fragrant. We specially killed a rabbit at home and roasted it with fresh Sichuan peppercorns. It tasted very fragrant.

Li placed several bamboo baskets in the yard, spread the peppercorns on them, dried them and then put them away.

"Big Boss's wife, your sister is about to give birth. Find a time for you and Qingya to go and give her a birth-inducing gift."

"Mom, let's go tomorrow. Everything is ready." Zhou was also thinking about it in her heart.

Li just reminded that Zhou was a thoughtful person and a responsible sister-in-law.

"Grandma, make a cup of honey water every morning and drink it. It's good for your health." Ye Qing was worried that his grandparents' bodies had not recovered from the damage they suffered while fleeing the famine, so he often found some good things for them to eat.

"Okay, I'm drinking it. You're my good grandson, and you know how to care for your grandma. Qingya, you drink it too, and everyone in the family drinks it." Li's face was full of smiles.

The next day, Zhou took Qingya to Sun's house. "Aunt is busy at home, I'm here to give you a birth-inducing gift."

"His sister-in-law, come in quickly, how is the family going?"

"Auntie is done with her work, how is your family doing?"

"The crops in the fields have all been pulled back. We're hiring someone to do the work this year. Ye Qiu is about to give birth, so someone needs to stay at home to take care of her." Grandma Sun's tone was filled with joy.

Zhou also thought so, "Isn't it true? Having a baby will make the family more lively."

"Sister-in-law is here." Ye Qiu heard voices in the room and walked out.

"How have you been feeling these past two days? Is the child well behaved?" Zhou asked with concern.

Ye Qing trotted over and helped Ye Qiu walk over.

"Qingya is so cute. If I could give birth to a girl like Qingya, it would be my wish come true."

Grandma Sun was listening and nodding her head. Her family was full of boys, who were not as cute as the sweet and soft girls.

"You guys talk in the house, I'll go and make you some sugar-water eggs." Grandma Sun walked towards the kitchen.

Ye Qing looked at his aunt and felt that her face looked much better after she became pregnant.

"Qingya, go get some food from the table, it's all bought by your uncle from the city.

"Aunt, I'm not hungry. I just came here after dinner at home."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Grandma Sun brought over two bowls of sugar-water eggs.

Zhou and Ye Qing took it, ate it, put down the bowl, said hello to the Sun family, and went home.

There is a saying in Kaoshan Village that the more smoothly the birth is sent off, the smoother the birth will be.

The two of them didn't go out after returning home, as the village had to burn charcoal again and the family was too busy to handle it.

Zhou took Ye Qing home to take apart and wash the quilts, and took out the winter clothes to dry in the sun while the weather was fine.

After a busy day, the house became clean and comfortable to look at.

"Mom, can my brother take a day off tomorrow?" Ye Qing helped fold the dried clothes.

"It's been a long time since I've had a rest, Jiro. I don't know how long I can stay at home this time."

As they were talking, they heard the sound of a bullock cart outside.

Ye Qing put down the clothes in his hand and stretched his head to look outside. After a while, several young men came in. Wei Jia did not stay and went home to have dinner.

"Second brother is back, you can take a few days off this time."

"Two days. The store is busy. After I'm done with this busy period, I can take a few more days off." Ye Erlang walked to the well, washed his hands in the basin, and went into the house.

Ye Erlang has been eating well and exercising regularly in the past year, so he has grown a lot taller and now looks almost 1.80 meters tall.

Zhou put her clothes away and hurried to cook. The dishes were all ready, except for frying them.

"Qingya, I heard that you found honey. Where did you find it?"

Ye Qing became excited and described the situation vividly.

Ye Chenming was horrified when he heard this, "My sister is in too much danger. Next time I see her, I'd better call my family to go."

Ye Qing nodded obediently and agreed, "Second brother, you guys take a rest tomorrow, we will go to the mountain to pick wild fruits. I found a big wild hawthorn."

Ye Chenming was moved by what he heard, and Zhou looked at her son and wanted to go. "Erlang, there is nothing to do at home tomorrow, you two can go to the mountains to play together."

Ye Chenming showed joy on his face. He was tired after so many days and wanted to go out for a run.

The next morning, after finishing their meal, everyone went out carrying their backpacks.

Ye Dalang also went there. He also wanted to try his luck and see if he could find something good.

Ye Qing was walking in front. When he arrived at Doctor Lin's house, he heard some noises coming from inside.

Ye Qing stopped and listened carefully for a while, and indeed there was the sound of someone walking.

A few people walked around to the door and saw that it was open. Ye Dalang walked in and said, "Grandpa Lin, you are back."

Someone in the yard came out and said, "It's Dalang. We are taking a break today so we came back to visit."

"Come to my house for dinner tonight. You two don't have to touch the pot." Ye Dalang invited warmly.

"Okay, it's just right for me to pay back your family's debt. Where are you going?" Doctor Lin looked at everyone dressed neatly and felt a little confused.

"Let's go up the mountain to pick wild fruits. Is Xuan brother at home? Let's go play together."

"I'll call him right now. He hasn't been to this mountain yet." Doctor Lin shouted towards the house.

Lin Wenxuan came out and saw a few people, and was very surprised. He didn't say he wanted to come back, and it was also a temporary decision today.

When I heard that we were going to pick fruit in the mountains, I found a basket from home and went up the mountain with them.

Everyone was chatting about interesting things and eating sweet grass picked from the roadside as they walked.

Ye Qing took them to the wild hawthorns he had discovered. They were green a few days ago, but now they had turned red.

Ye Dalang was tall, so he picked one and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and said to everyone, "It's very sweet, everyone come and try it."

The boys had no doubts. Seeing the bright red hawthorns, they had long wanted to eat them. They rushed to pick the hawthorns and put them in their mouths. "Ah, so sour, ugh."

Ye Dalang then vomited with distorted facial features, and his teeth felt sore.

Ye Qing looked at the miserable appearance of several people and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. Fortunately, she was careful and waited before eating.

"Brother, why are you like this? Why are you lying to me?" Ye Chenjing started to accuse.
