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

Ye Qing looked at Xiufen with a complicated expression, "He and I are from the same village, I'll let him pay it back slowly in the future."

Xiufen's face turned pale. Her affairs were known by the villagers. She would have no place to stay from now on.

Tian San woke up and saw Ye Qing with an unhappy expression. "Qingya, thank you for saving me. Please don't tell anyone about what happened today. I will work like a cow or a horse to repay you in the future."

Ye Qing was not looking for his reward, "No need, just pay me back later. What are you planning to do, where are you going?"

Tian San glanced at Xiufen and said, "I will take Xiufen back to the village, and we will live together in the future."

Xiufen had only wanted Tian San to help her escape before, but after seeing his performance today, she was moved and acquiesced to this arrangement.

"Okay, I'll rent a bullock cart. You guys go back first. You have to pay me back for the cart."

Tian San thanked her gratefully and left with Xiufen.

Ye Qing sighed in his heart, glanced at the ox cart going away, and went to find Ye Erlang with the basket.

"Second brother, are you taking a rest today?" Ye Qing asked the waiter to help call his brother out.

"Qingya, you are here. You can rest the day after tomorrow. Something happened at home. I will go talk to Master. You can rest tomorrow."

"Will it affect you? I just bought beef and I'm worried that my family won't be able to cook it."

"It's okay. I'm not busy these two days. Just tell me. You sit here and wait for me for a while. We'll go back together after work." Ye Erlang settled his sister down and went to the kitchen to find Master Zheng.

Ye Qing had been out for most of the day and was already tired. She ate the snacks that Ye Erlang gave her and drank tea leisurely.

Since Ye Qing had promised Tian San, he didn't tell his family, so no news spread in the village. All they knew was that Tian San saved a person and the person promised to marry him.

Ye Erlang took Ye Qing home and bought some cakes on the way.

When he got home, Old Man Ye sat at the door weaving mats, looking outside from time to time.

I felt relieved only when I saw Ye Qing and Ye Erlang coming back.

"Qingya, why are you back so late? If you come back any later, your father will come to pick you up."

"Grandpa, I bought some beef. I'm going to ask my second brother to come back and eat some beef."

Seeing his granddaughter's uneasy look, Old Man Ye couldn't bear to say anything more to her, so he gave her another warning. "Come back earlier next time."

Ye Qing agreed obediently and took the beef to wash it.

In the kitchen, Zhou was picking up the steamed buns. Her tone was full of surprise as she looked at her son who suddenly appeared.

"Erlang is back, go wash your hands and prepare for dinner, I'll just cook some food."

"Mom, Qingya bought some beef. I'll cook it."

"Beef is hard to buy. I'll go see how much we have bought. It's hot now and the meat won't keep well." Zhou put the steamed buns she picked up on the table and turned to walk into the yard.

Walking to the well, he looked at the large piece of meat Ye Qing put in the basin. "Qingya, this is about four or five pounds. We can't finish it in one meal."

"We'll keep three kilograms and send the remaining two kilograms to grandpa and grandma." Ye Qing had figured out how to distribute it.

Zhou was satisfied to see that her daughter was still thinking about her parents' home.

"Cut half a pound from us and send it to your aunt."

Normally, the Sun family would come to deliver tofu every now and then. Now that I have something good at home, I’d like to let them have a taste.

Ye Qing divided the beef into portions and sent the family’s portion to the kitchen.

The rest of the beef was sent over while it was still fresh. When I came back, my uncle gave me a lamb, about one month old, that he had caught in the mountains and brought back to raise in the barn.

The Sun family gave two pieces of old tofu. Ye Qing liked old tofu and didn't like the taste of tender tofu.

After returning home, Ye Erlang put the chopped beef in the pot and blanched it in water to remove the fishy smell.

Take out the beef and wash it with hot water, then take it out and drain it. Then add the prepared green onion, ginger and peppercorns into the pan and stir-fry the beef for a while.

Then add hot water and start stewing. Watching Ye Erlang's smooth operation, Ye Qing was impressed. Some people are really born to do this job.

After stewing for 25 minutes, I added radish to the stew. There are many people in the family, and it would not be enough without radish.

The beef took a long time to stew, so we had dinner a little late.

But no one complained because the beef was so delicious that people would wait a little longer for the sake of delicious food.

A big pot of beef and radish was all eaten up, leaving only a little broth.

The next morning, Zhou rolled out the noodles and made beef noodles without beef.

Each person ate half a bowl of noodles more, and they were so full that they had to hold their stomachs while walking in the yard to digest the food.

The yard was built and left to dry for a few days. While the children were at home, Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li's things were moved there first.

The newly built house was fully furnished with furniture, all made by Ye Lao Er. The materials used were genuine and would last for 20 to 30 years.

Ye Qing's room had also been decorated, and the three rooms on the right wing were all hers.

One of the rooms is used for resting, and the other is used as a study.

All of Yipinxiang’s accounts were kept in it, and the other one was used as her warehouse, storing winter clothes and some small items she collected.

Ye Erlang moved his things to the place where Ye Qing used to live. He didn't spend much time at home and had few things, so he just rolled up his bedding and considered the move complete.

In the evening, the family gathered together for dinner, and Ye Erlang discussed his plan to become an apprentice with his family.

"Erlang, it's only two years and you can become a master." Boss Ye knew that it takes three years to become a master.

"Dad, I have learned everything that the master can do. Besides, my junior brother has grown up, and the store doesn't need so many people."

Master Zheng is very kind and teaches his apprentices sincerely. He is not like others who keep them to work for their families without being taught real skills.

"What are your plans for the future? Why don't you find a restaurant to work in, or something like that?" Boss Ye is not someone who doesn't listen to advice.

Ye Erlang wanted to open a shop, but it would cost a lot of money.

For so many years, he didn't bring any money home, and the family depended on other people to support them.

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't say what he was thinking. "Dad, I'll find a job first and gain some experience."

Boss Ye didn't notice his son's dilemma, but Ye Qing could see that his second brother was not being sincere.

"Brother, do you really think so? How much can you earn working for others in a month? It's better to rent a shop and open your own store."

Ye Erlang's eyes lit up. He planned to make some money for a few months before opening a shop.

His sister is younger than him, and the Yipinxiang flower is so big, so he also wants to open one.

Zhou understood that her second son wanted to open a shop. But she also had concerns. Qingya opened Yipinxiang with her own money and later gave money to the family.

But Yipinxiang earns a lot, so his family takes 20% of it.

Erlang thought that if his family gave him money, the other children would definitely have objections.

Ye Qing's mind worked quickly, "Second brother, you can borrow money from our family, pay them back first when you make money, and then give them a share. Are you willing?"

Wei Xin sat next to him and nodded slightly. There was a lot of work at home, and Ye Dalang was the only one who did the most.
