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

Boss Ye and the village head asked along the way, and when they arrived at Yangjia Village, it was already noon.

Yang Qingyun heard a knock on the door, came out and saw Boss Ye and the others, frowned, and said, "You are the man from the market yesterday. You came to my house to see me. What's the matter?"

Boss Ye hurriedly explained, "I came here today for a different reason than yesterday. I came here today to ask Mr. Yang if he has any idea of ​​becoming a teacher in our village private school."

"Qingyun, who's outside?" An old voice came out.

"Mom is someone I met in the city." After saying that, he turned around and said to Boss Ye and the other man, "Come in and talk."

Two people opened the door and first saw a woman with gray hair, leaning against the door frame and looking out.

"Mom, please go in and rest. I'll take care of you here."

Boss Ye greeted the woman and followed Yang Qingyun into the main room.

The headman entered the house and looked around at the furnishings inside. There were only a few chairs and a table with a broken leg, and no other items. It was obvious that the owner of the house was very poor.

Yang Qingyun poured two glasses of water before continuing to talk to the two of them.

"You two, you just said you would like me to be your teacher, is that true?" Yang Qingyun had long wanted to find a job, but his mother did not allow it and asked him to concentrate on his studies.

"We are from Kaoshan Village. There is a private school in the village. We have a teacher now, but we are still short of another one. I met you yesterday and felt that you are a good fit. I would like to ask you if you are willing to go." Boss Ye said straight to the point.

Yang Qingyun was very tempted. His mother had done too much needlework and her eyesight was bad. Now he didn't want his mother to do needlework anymore, so he wanted to find a job for himself.

It is just right for him to become a teacher. Not only can he make money, but he can also review his lessons at night without delaying his participation in the imperial examinations.

"You two, I have a request. Can you take my mother to your village to teach? There are only two of us at home, and I'm worried about her being alone at home." Yang Qingyun is a filial son.

The village head quickly agreed, "Our village has built a yard for you, and you and your family can live there."

Boss Ye added, "There are also furniture inside. You just need to bring some clothes and daily necessities."

The two sides agreed that Yang Qingyun would go to the village to teach in ten days. Yang Qingyun would clean up the house and the head of the village would also go back to build a yard.

Boss Ye took the village head back and stopped to drink some water when they passed a tea stall beside the official road.

The two of them ate the cakes they brought with tea. They were a bit hard, but golden on both sides and tasted delicious.

The two men were eating and chatting. Before they had finished one cake, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the official road.

The two of them quickly got up and tried to find a secluded place nearby to hide.

But there was no place to hide in the open space, so I could only pick up a stone from the ground and hide it behind my back.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer, the person on horseback became clearer and clearer.

"Uncle village head, I think he looks like the official who came to our village last time to help catch wolves." Boss Ye is young and has good eyesight, and can see far.

The head of the village calmed himself down, but still did not let go of the stone in his hand. He waited for the person to come closer and he could see who was coming, then he quietly threw the stone aside.

The head of the village took Boss Ye out and greeted several officials.

"You two look familiar. We have seen you somewhere before." asked the leader.

"Sir, we are from Kaoshan Village. We passed by here today and were fortunate to meet a few adults."

When I heard the head of the village say this, I remembered the two of them.

"Did wolves go to your village again later?"

"No, thank you very much for helping us get rid of the wolves." The head of the village said respectfully.

"I guess that group of wolves took the wrong path. There was a huge earthquake in the mountains, and these wolves got scared and came out. They probably won't come out again in the future." The leader explained the reason.

After saying this, the group ignored them and continued chatting among themselves.

The two men didn't dare to stay any longer, so they packed up their things and drove away in the ox cart.

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the village. Boss Ye sent the head of the village home, where he took a shower and went to bed.

After sleeping for an hour, I was called to have dinner.

Wei Xin has almost recovered from her morning sickness and is now helping to set the table and serve the food.

Ye Qing looked at Boss Ye’s happy face and knew that the matter was settled.

She thought of the watermelons and melons in the field. When she went to see them in the afternoon, the watermelons had already started to grow.

"Dad, the watermelons and melons are starting to grow. When are you going to go and see the melons?"

Boss Ye hadn't been to the field for a few days, and the flowers only started to bloom a few days ago.

Old man Ye took a few children to the fields to help pollinate the melon flowers.

It's only been a few days, and the melons are starting to form. "Are there a lot of melons this year?"

When Old Man Ye heard this, he became interested.

"There are two or three fruits on one vine, and Qingya said that we should cut off the extra ones and leave one on each vine, so that the fruits can grow bigger."

Boss Ye felt a little distressed, "This is such a waste, how can we get two for one?"

Ye Qing gave them some knowledge, "If there are too many melons on a vine, they won't grow big and compete for nutrients. It's like a bowl of rice, and several people share the same meaning."

The two of them understood what he said, but even though they understood, they still felt sad. Each of these melons was worth money.

Ye Qing looked at the two people who were in a low mood and comforted them.

"The small watermelons that have been picked can also be eaten. You can peel them and stir-fry them."

Ye Dalang didn't believe it, "It's full of green flesh, not even a bit sweet, how can it be delicious?"

Although Zhou and Li didn't say anything, one could tell that this was what they meant.

"Qingya, let's pick it now. It will grow bigger and bigger and absorb more nutrients." Boss Ye made a choice in his mind.

"Wait two days and let the watermelons grow. Then we can see which ones are growing well and keep them."

Everyone understood what was said and waited patiently for the melon to grow.

The next day, all the villagers gathered in front of the meeting hall. The head of the village assigned tasks to everyone and started building a house for Master Yang.

The mud has been dried, so all we need to do is dig the foundation and build the house.

The style of the house is the same as Mr. Gu's, both are paved with bluestone slabs, and both sides are treated the same, so no one can complain.

Master Gu has already settled down in the village and has no plans to continue taking the imperial examinations. He uses the money he earns to buy land.

The parents of the children who were studying with Master Gu helped with the work in the fields.

There were many students and their parents, so Mr. Gu only bought two acres of land and finished the work by lending a hand.

The villagers were getting better and better at building houses. Several houses were built in four or five days. After being left to dry for a few days, they were just the right size for Yang Qingyun to live in.

The furniture business was still given to Ye Laoer. Ye Laoer had a few ready-made pieces of furniture at home, so he moved them over and put them in the house first.

Even the bed in the room will need to wait for two more days, so it won’t delay Yang Qingyun’s use.

When the agreed time came, Yang Qingyun took his mother, hired an ox cart, and came to Kaoshan Village.

When he arrived in the village and saw the newly built yard, Yang Qingyun's eyes became moist.

His family originally had some land, but as he studied over the years, they gradually sold it off.
