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

"Wulang, you guys should take the exam seriously and don't be nervous. No matter how you do in the exam, it will be what you get." Boss Ye encouraged.

"Dad, don't worry, we are not nervous. You can go home first." Several children carried their exam baskets and walked towards the examination hall with firm steps.

Ye Qing watched several people enter the examination hall. After passing this test, some of them might be about to step into a new track.

As the examination hall opened, people on the street crowded forward, and Ye Qing pulled a few people into the restaurant next door.

With so many people, it was easy for a stampede to happen. Boss Ye sighed, fortunately they came early.

Boss Ye watched the yamen runners checking the examinees' belongings. Some of them went in smoothly, while others were covered over their mouths and dragged away.

Boss Ye and his group were stunned. There was actually someone who dared to cheat, and he was an old man with gray hair.

As the gate of the examination hall closed, the outside gradually became quiet.

It was quiet for only a short while when two dishevelled scholars, holding exam baskets, ran towards the examination hall.

"Dad, don't you think those two people are late?" Ye Qing pointed at the two people and asked.

Boss Ye and his companions craned their necks to look down and saw the two scholars pleading with the officer guarding the gate.

But the door of the examination hall was closed, allowing only exit and no entry, and several officials drove the two men away.

The two men obviously knew each other, as they hugged each other and cried bitterly on the street. They had been preparing for this day for a year.

Because I was too nervous to sleep yesterday, I dozed off for a while in the morning and overslept.

Boss Ye was trembling with fear when he saw this. Ever since they arrived in the provincial capital, he had dreamed every night about his children getting up late.

I was so scared that I kept people awake at night just to prevent this from happening.

Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San looked at each other, fear in their eyes.

Last night they were still laughing at Boss Ye for being careful, but they didn't expect to encounter this today.

If those children got up late, not only would Old Man Ye beat them when they got home, but the village head would also beat them to death.

"Second and third sons, you take the three children back to bed, and you two stay up all night to watch over them."

No one had any objection. Ye Xuan and Tietou were so excited after watching the excitement that they could not open their eyes.

Ye Qing got up early in the morning and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Boss Ye was reluctant to sit in the restaurant all day, so he went out and found a place to sit and chat with people.

Most of the people waiting outside are here to accompany their children to take the exam. They are all very nervous, but they can still comfort each other with a few words.

During the three exams, Ye Chenjing and his companions looked relaxed at the beginning, but became more and more serious as the exams went on.

Boss Ye and his friends only cared about eating and drinking, not daring to ask them how they did in the exam. For fear of putting pressure on them, Ye Qing also cooked in different ways.

A few scholars stopped reading when they came back. They just ate, stretched out a little and went to sleep.

I have to stay in the examination hall for one night for the third exam. It’s not that hot now and it’s not comfortable to sleep inside.

After the third exam, their family members went to pick them up, bringing two bullock carts.

Ye Xuan and Ye Qing were outside watching the ox cart. The three brothers of Ye Lao Da and Tietou squeezed to the front, waiting to pick up people.

As the gong sounded, the gate of the examination hall slowly opened and people slowly walked out.

The candidate who came out was pale and walked unsteadily, as if he would fall down at any time.

More than half of the candidates have come out, but several children at home have not yet come out.

Ye Lao Da was getting anxious waiting, "Second Lao, have you seen the kids? Did they go out? I didn't see them."

Ye Lao Er was also suspicious, "Brother, wait a little longer, Qing Ya and the others are waiting outside."

The four people waited for a while, and looked carefully at every candidate who came out, for fear of missing them.

Almost all the candidates in the examination hall had come out, and then Ye Chenjing and others helped Wei Xiu and Ye Chenyu out.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Boss Ye.

"What happened to Wei Xiu and Chen Yu?" Boss Ye asked as he took the two children over.

The third son of the Ye family took over his youngest son Ye Chenyu and carried him on his back. He then looked at his eldest son Ye Chenyi and confirmed that Ye Chenyi was in good spirits before he let go of his worries.

Tietou took Wei Xiu, carried him on his back, and held Lin Wenxuan in his hand as they walked towards the ox cart.

Ye Lao Er supported his youngest son Ye Chenze and touched his head with heartache. He had taken three exams and lost several pounds.

Boss Ye glanced at Sun Hang. Xiaobai was also pale and his eyes were lifeless.

He let Ye Lao Er help Sun Hang walk out, while he helped Ye Chenjing and Sun Hao. The older ones were in good spirits and could still walk on their own.

After several people sat on the ox cart, Ye Qing took out the hot water from under the quilt and poured some for each person to drink.

After drinking some hot water, the children recovered and their faces became rosy. Then Boss Ye drove the ox cart and took the children home.

When they got home, everyone drank a bowl of porridge and ate some vegetables, washed up, and then fell on the bed and fell asleep snoring.

Ye Lao Da and his two companions were afraid to sleep. They had to take care of three children alone. They were tired after several days and had caught a cold. They were worried that they would have a high fever at night.

The big ones were fine, but they slept a little deeply. The small ones were not so good.

Wei Xiu was the first to start having a fever, and his little face turned red.

Boss Ye used wine to rub the soles of his feet and the arches of his legs. After that, his temperature dropped a little and he slept soundly.

Just after a short break, Ye Chenyu started too, humming and his breath was hot.

Ye Lao San was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but Ye Lao Da was calm and helped to wipe his body to cool down.

By the time I finished wiping and the temperature had dropped, it was already the second half of the night.

The two dared not close their eyes, for fear that the two children would relapse again.

In the second half of the night, the two children's temperatures rose again and their bodies felt hot to the touch.

Ye Qing was woken up at night. Seeing that the two people were delirious with fever, he quickly asked Boss Ye to take them to the clinic.

"There's no one in the clinic at this time." If there was, they would have gone there long ago.

"We have to go and try it too, Dad. They are suffering from the fever and can't bear it." Ye Qing persuaded the two.

Boss Ye took a look at the two children and realized that they couldn't delay any longer.

"Second brother, you stay home and watch over these kids. Third brother and I will take the two children to the clinic."

After saying that, he was about to carry the two of them out. Ye Qing hurriedly called his cousin Tietou to get up and follow the two of them to help.

Ye Xuan was also woken up. His legs and feet were not very strong, so he was not allowed to go out at night.

Ye Xuan got up and didn't want to sleep anymore. He went into the house to help Uncle Ye take care of the children.

Apart from sleeping a little longer, the other people didn't encounter any other problems. Ye Laoer and Ye Xuan looked at the increasingly bright light outside and finally felt relieved.

Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I remembered that the people who went to see the doctor had not returned yet, and I started to get anxious again.

"Ye Xuan, you should go to sleep soon. You have been up all night. Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Xuan felt embarrassed by the compliment, "Uncles are all brothers, what's the big deal?"

Ye Laoer tried to persuade Ye Xuan several times, but Ye Xuan refused to rest. He wanted to wait until a few people woke up before going to sleep.

Ye Laoer glanced at the children. They were fine overnight, so they probably would be fine now.

Ye Laoer asked Ye Xuan and Ye Qing to rest at home while he went to the street to check on the two children. Why had they not come back in such a long time?
