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

The next morning, Boss Ye had breakfast and prepared to go into the city.

Li called her son and said, "Big brother, bring some of the mats your father made and put them on the car."

After hearing this, Boss Ye turned around and went to the storeroom, where various woven mats and raincoats were stored.

Boss Ye took two, put them on the ox cart, and went out to pick someone up.

"Qingya, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Are your fifth brother and his family coming back?" Li has been counting the days these days.

"It should be soon. The letter said he would be back during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Ye Qing has been thinking about this these past two days.

"Qingya, take out some peanuts. I don't have anything to do right now. Peel some and save them for the festival."

Ye Qing went to the cellar and brought out a basket.

"Grandma, why are there so many peanuts in the cellar? Didn't we sell them last year?" This year's peanuts are about to be harvested, and Ye Qing didn't expect that there are still so many peanuts left from last year.

"Peanuts are not valuable in the past two years and can't be sold for much money, so your grandfather let them stay at home." Li was worried when she thought about the peanuts in the cellar.

"Have other people in the village sold it?" Ye Qing had never paid attention to this.

"None of them were sold. The family didn't need that little money, so everyone kept it to give away or eat it themselves." Li often chatted with her sisters-in-law and knew more.

Li was sitting under a tree peeling peanuts, Ye Qing was cutting leeks in the kitchen, and the family was planning to make dumplings.

Wei Xin went to buy meat. Oil was needed to make dumplings, but there was not enough meat oil at home.

Today I plan to make two kinds of fillings, one is leek and egg, the other is minced meat and green beans.

The new crop of beans has just grown at home, and now is the perfect time to eat them.

By the time Ye Qing had finished cutting the leeks and beans, Wei Xin came back with the meat.

"Grandma, Aunt Wei gave me half a pound of fat meat extra. I didn't want it, but she insisted on giving it to me." There was a piece of pork belly and a piece of high-quality fat meat in Wei Xin's basket.

"Wei Zhao's mother is so polite, just keep it. She should be thanking Qing Ya for letting Wei Zhao go to work." Li knew why as soon as she thought about it.

Wei Xin knew the reason, so he washed it with confidence and took it to the kitchen to make lard.

Ye cleaned the piece of pork belly in his hand, waited for it to dry, and took it to the table to chop the stuffing.

When Erbao heard that Zhou was coming back today, he did not follow Ping'an to the private school, but waited for Zhou at home.

Ye Qing chopped the meat rhythmically, and Erbao stayed away from her, worried that he would hurt his hands.

Soon the aroma of meat scraps wafted from the kitchen, and Erbao ran to the kitchen with the toy in his hand.

"Mom, I want to eat meat scraps." Erbao didn't dare to go in. Last time when the oil was being boiled, he sneaked over and got a blister on his body from the splashed oil. It hurt for several days.

This time he learned his lesson and stood at the door, calling Wei Xin to get it for him.

Wei Xin filled three small bowls, sprinkled seasoning on them, and asked Li to eat with the two of them.

"Sister-in-law, come and eat too." Ye Qing was waiting to eat together.

"I'll eat after I'm done with my work. You guys eat first." Wei Xin's forehead was covered in sweat.

Ye Qing and the other two carefully picked up the bowl. The oil residue was still hot, so they blew on it carefully and put a piece into their mouths.

"It smells so good, please eat more, Tainai."

Mrs. Li was so happy that she said, "After Erbao finishes eating, Grandma will wash some grapes for you to eat."

There wasn’t much oil residue in the bowl. Ye Qing finished it in a few bites and continued to work.

I bought about four or five pounds of meat and I have to chop it all up today.

Second Aunt heard the noise next door and came over to help.

"Qingya, I heard you chopping stuffing from the next room, so I came over to give you a hand. Your arms will definitely hurt tomorrow after chopping so much."

Shen went to the kitchen to get a knife and came over to help.

"Second brother, will Sanlang bring his wife back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? Will Master Hu let him come back?" Mrs. Li began to worry about Ye Chencong.

"Mom, Sanlang sent a message saying that he is back. The store is closed for two days, so he will stay for two days." Shen had already thought of the menu and was waiting for them to come back.

"Liu Lang and the others haven't been back for more than a month."

"Yes, the teacher asked them to go to the provincial capital to take the exam after the Mid-Autumn Festival. They are very nervous now and are studying in the city." Shen thought about how her son had lost another two kilograms in the past two days.

"As for the second brother's family, tell them not to be nervous. Whatever the exam result is, it is what it is. The family has money and can have enough food to eat. If not, they can go back to farm."

Ye Qing was amused, "Grandma, your idea is really not good. The teacher is praising the brothers and asking them to take the exams."

Shen was also laughing there, "If they can learn, let them learn. If they pass the exam and become a scholar, how much tax can be saved this year."

Ye Qing chimed in, "If all my brothers can pass the exam this year, I can register some land under their names, which can also help me save some taxes."

Erbao heard this and put down the bowl in his hand and ran to Ye Qing.

"Aunt, I will study hard and give you a farm."

Ye Qing was very touched. "Aunt is waiting for you. You must study hard and try to help Aunt save taxes as soon as possible."

Erbao stared at Ye Qing with his big eyes, which were full of sincerity.

Ye Qingyi was excited. He washed his hands and went into the house to get him two pieces of candy.

Erbao took the candy and said nice things for free.

Ye Qing gave some of the soft candies to Li and Shen, asking them to try the candies from other places.

He went to the kitchen again and stuffed a piece of cake into Wei Xin's mouth.

Wei Xin's meat sauce is fried and he is pouring it into the oil tank.

"Qingya, do you need my help outside?"

"No need, Second Aunt will come to help, you can take a rest for a while." Ye Qing felt sorry for her sweating profusely.

It was such a hot day and Wei Xin had been standing by the fire for so long that he lost his appetite due to the heat.

After the fire in the kitchen is out, put the oil can in the cupboard, be careful of being attacked by other animals.

Ye Qing took some grapes, washed them, and took them outside.

"Grandma, Auntie, eat some grapes before you get back to work."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Third Aunt came from outside.

"What delicious food are you eating? If I hadn't come, I would have missed it." Wei joked.

Shen had a good relationship with her. "If you come a little later, you won't be able to catch up. I can leave some grape skins for you."

Wei was unwilling and complained to Li.

"Mother, look at my second sister-in-law. She only lets me eat grape skins."

Mrs. Li looked at them laughing and saying, "You came at the right time this time. Thanks to your niece's wife, you can eat some grapes with her."

A few people sat down to eat grapes. There was less rain this year and the sun was shining brightly on the mountain, so the grapes were sweeter than in previous years.

Wei looked at the meat on the table and said, "Why do I want to make dumplings today? It's so hot and I don't want to move at all."

"Your sister-in-law and her family are coming back. Dalang's wife is filial and is busy making dumplings for them." Li liked Wei Xin very much. He had a good personality, was efficient, and was not a petty person.

"The eldest sister-in-law is still good at choosing a daughter-in-law. Wei Xin is a very responsible sister-in-law and she can take care of the younger brothers and sisters."

Wei Xin was already used to them praising her; whenever they saw her, the two aunts liked to praise her.
