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

Seeing Wei Xin's expectant look, Zhou quickly asked Boss Ye to kill the chicken. She couldn't let her grandson starve.

There was no spare ribs left at home, so Ye Qing planned to go to the city to buy some tomorrow to cook.

Old man Ye stood up from the bench and said, "I'll go to the Wei family to see if they slaughtered a pig today. If you want to eat it, just cook it. Grandpa will buy it for you."

Ye Qing looked at his grandfather's back and had something unspoken. Actually, he could eat it tomorrow.

Li stood up happily, went to the warehouse to get glutinous rice, and soaked it first.

Ye Qing has a bold idea. It seems that her family members have been led astray by her and all of them like to eat delicious food.

The family members who used to be frugal and reluctant to spend money on food and drink now help prepare the ingredients when they encounter something delicious without her persuasion.

Old Man Ye left quickly and came back quickly. The glutinous rice was not yet soaked, but the spare ribs had already been bought.

Ye Dalang was no less enthusiastic. He came back with a bamboo, cut it into several sections, hollowed out the middle, washed it and prepared to steam it.

Everything was ready. Ye Qing first cooked the lotus leaf chicken, then the glutinous rice and spare ribs, and finally the bamboo tube rice.

The whole yard was filled with the fragrance of bamboo and lotus leaves. Wei Xin was not at home, so she went to play at Aunt Lianhua's house in front. The fragrance of the yard made her drool, so she had to come out to avoid the smell.

After playing for a while, she was still thinking about the food at home, so she said goodbye and went home. She decided to wait with her family.

As soon as I entered the door, Ye Qing called me, "Sister-in-law, I'll give you a sweet potato. It's just been baked. Fill your stomach first."

Wei happily took the sweet potato, peeled it and ate it. His hands and face were covered in black, as if he had grown a beard.

After eating sweet potatoes, I feel full in my stomach and don’t feel so greedy anymore.

After waiting for a while, Ye Qing finally called for dinner.

Everyone had been prepared and had a clear division of labor, some held the bowls, some served the dishes.

Everyone sat around the table and waited until Old Man Ye picked up his chopsticks before they started eating quickly, picking up the food they liked.

After the lively meal, everyone chatted for a while, washed up and rested.

A few days later, Ye Lao Da and Ye Da Lang took Wangcai and Hei Zi to the field to check the melons.

This year, the villagers planted more watermelons, and many families came to see the watermelons at night. The prices of watermelons and melons were high, and they didn't want to let them go to waste.

If there is any movement at night, you will find that the melon field is full of people.

There is enough fertilizer in the field, and the watermelons will be ready to eat in a few days.

According to the custom in the village, the first batch of watermelons and melons were first presented to the officials in the government office.

There is nothing valuable in the village, so sending some food can also express the villagers' gratitude.

Lord Wu has eaten everything, but he likes the things sent by the villagers the most. This is proof that he is diligent in his work and loves the people, and is loved by the villagers.

It is also an opportunity for the villagers to deepen their impression of Lord Wu, and a way for the villagers to seek help when they encounter problems.

When there are a few talented scholars in the village, they won't have to be so cautious and help the weak ones.

There are more and more ripe watermelons. Boss Ye took some time to go to Qingyunzhai to find someone to pull them out. This was the contract signed last year.

After a summer, the pockets of the watermelon-growing families in the village became fatter.

At noon, the smell of meat wafts from every household, and the wealthy want to improve their lives.

At Ye Qing's winery, half of the people are making wine and the other half are making alcohol.

Ye Qing makes two large jars of mosquito repellent liquid every day, then filters it out and pours it into a special bucket.

A few days later, the Bai family sent people to take them away. Now mosquito coils and mosquito repellent liquid are selling equally well.

Ye Qing is very busy every day. He has to worry about the workshop and the family. Before he knows it, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

Liu Rui sent a message in advance that he would come to the Ye family to give gifts on the day before the holiday.

When Ye Qing heard the news, he also gave the workshop a holiday to give everyone some time to prepare for the holiday.

Early in the morning, Liu Rui brought two large carts of things to Kaoshan Village. Although Ye Laoer's family had been prepared, they were still shocked by the generosity of the event.

Some children, who were not old enough to go to school, followed from the village entrance and surrounded the car to watch the fun.

Liu Rui was a smooth man who understood the ways of the world. He opened two packages of pastries that had been prepared in the car.

He distributed the food to the children who were following him. Some adults who were just watching the fun felt embarrassed and quickly asked the children to thank Liu Rui.

Liu Rui was lost in the sound of people thanking his brothers, and gave each of them two pieces of candy.

Some women watched him share candies and joked with him, "Little Brother Liu, you can give candies when you get married. If you give them now, you can't be short of candies when you come to pick up the bride."

Another woman took over the conversation, "Brother Liu, I am different from the others. Give us some more, and I will help you knock on the door when you come to pick up the bride."

After hearing what the two said, the others burst into laughter and also said a few words to join in the fun.

Liu Rui was young after all. After hearing this, he was speechless and his face turned red with shame.

Shen heard the noise at home, pushed the door open, and saw Liu Rui's face flushed and the villagers laughing. She had no idea what had happened.

He quickly came out to help, "What are you talking about? It's so lively here, come sit down at home. Rui Ge'er, why do you bring so many things? We already have them at home, no need to take so much."

When Liu Rui saw Shen, his face turned even redder.

"Aunt, I'm here to give you a gift. I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Shen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "Good boy, go home quickly, your uncle is waiting."

Liu Rui bowed and took his servants to move things home.

Ye Qing and Ye Xiang hid behind their second uncle's door and watched. Ye Xi was too embarrassed to come over, so she boiled water in the kitchen.

Ye Qing and the other person were so amused by Liu Rui's embarrassment that they covered their mouths and laughed. Seeing that Liu's family was about to come in, they quickly ran to the kitchen to tell Ye Xi about the excitement outside.

Liu Rui moved the things back home. There were several pieces of cloth in the car, which he kept for his family to make clothes.

There are also various cakes, half a pig, a sheep, and various fruits.

The most inconspicuous one is a small wooden box, which is well-made and beautifully carved with flowers.

Liu Rui gave the box to Shen alone and glanced at Ye Xi.

Ye Qing and Ye Xiang huddled together and secretly guessed, "I think it's a hairpin. This one is about the same size as a hairpin."

Ye Qing thought it was a bracelet. It was popular to give bracelets to fiancées nowadays.

Liu Rui usually came frequently, but neither family treated him as a guest. But today, he came to give gifts, a proper guest of honor.

Uncle Ye called a few boys from his family to accompany him, and also found a few young people from the clan.

Ye Qing brought over two jars of newly brewed wine. None of them could drink much, so they toasted twice more and their eyes began to turn red.

Boss Ye saw something was wrong, so he quickly stopped their drinking and advised them to eat more vegetables.

The people at the table accompanied Liu Rui to eat and drink for two hours before the party ended.

Liu Rui wanted to leave, but Ye Laoer and Shen did not try to keep him. This time they brought Liu's servants with them, so there was no room for them at home.

Someone took care of him on the way, and they felt relieved to let them go home while it was still light.
