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

The three of them returned to Kaoshan Village, told their families about the situation in the city, and prepared the things they would take to the city.

Zhou brought all the new bedding for them. The family had grown a lot of cotton in the past two years, so they made several new quilts this year.

They were not allowed to bring pots, pans, and utensils, so they went to the city to buy new ones.

Bring them some of the various grains harvested from home so that they can eat the grains at home with peace of mind.

Zhou was reluctant to leave Erbao behind, so she washed several kinds of grains, ground them into powder, fried them, and gave them to him. If he didn't want to eat, he could just make a bowl of it.

Wei Xin brought all the new clothes that the family had made this year, so they had no shortage of clothes to wear.

Ye Qing would bring some cloth home every few months, and it was all good quality cloth, so no one in the family was short of clothes.

The family members were busy helping them pack their things, and Ping'an and Erbao were a little unhappy.

Erbao doesn't want to go to the city because all his friends are in the village and he doesn't know anyone in the city.

Ping'an grew up and knew he needed to go to school, but he still felt that his parents didn't want him and left him at home.

Ye Dalang was the first to notice that something was wrong with Ping An, so he took him to the study and had a conversation with him.

"Ping An, do you want to go to Wu'an City with your parents? Your mother and I really don't want you to be alone at home."

Ping An stared at the ground and rubbed his foot slightly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Dalang didn't care.

"Your mother and I think the private school in the village is better than the one in the city, and it is more suitable for you to study in the village. Besides, I am the eldest son of your grandparents, and I should be raised by their parents. Now I have to go to Wu'an City to be an official. I selfishly want to keep you here to fulfill my filial duty for my parents."

Ping An still didn't look up, and his voice was a little muffled.

"Then why did you bring Erbao to Wu'an City?"

Ye Dalang felt a little distressed when he heard Ping An's suppressed voice.

"You take Erbao with you because he is too young to go to school. Besides, he is not as sensible as you. It is too tiring for your grandma to take care of him. When he reaches school age, you have to send him back."

Ping An felt a little better when he heard Boss Ye praising him for being sensible.

He also knew that this could not be changed, so he could only say sensibly, "Dad, I will stay at home and take good care of my family."

Ye Dalang was very pleased. He patted his son on the shoulder and encouraged him to study hard.

When the day of acceptance came, the school was closed, and except for Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li, the whole family took a ox cart to the city.

When they arrived, the foreman who was working for them was already waiting for them at the door.

"Sir, now that you are here, the interior has been cleaned up. Let's see if there is anything that needs to be changed."

Boss Ye led his family into the house, and as soon as he entered, he found that the yard had changed.

The osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard did not move and still stood there.

The entire yard is paved with wood and even the walls are painted white, making it look clean and tidy.

Zhou and Wei Xin attached the most importance to the kitchen, and they even replaced the kitchen door with a new one. They were stunned as soon as they entered the door.

They had never thought that they could put small slate on the stove. The slate was polished very smoothly, and the whole stove looked clean and neat.

Several rows of cabinets were built in the kitchen, so that some things can be stored in the cabinets and there is no need to worry about mice anymore.

The wing room is reserved for the two children. It is fully equipped with cabinets and the walls are painted, making it look like a newly built house.

After a round of shopping, they were very satisfied and quickly paid the money to the leader.

The leader happily took the money, thanked them and left happily.

Ye Dalang was so willing to pay, and he was also a good leader. He had already helped clean up, and they just had to wipe the table.

Zhou and Ye Qing helped with cleaning at home, while Ye Dalang and Wei Xin went shopping.

They made a list before they came, so all they have to do is buy them today.

Buy what you need for daily use today, and you can add small things slowly.

After finishing all the work, it was already past dinner time and there was no firewood at home, so they went to a restaurant to eat.

The place they chose today was Queran Tower. They planned to meet Ye Xi and tell her about it, and when they moved in, they would let her bring the children to their home for a visit.

When they arrived, Ye Xi was not in Queran Tower. She had not come here today.

When they finished eating and went out, they happened to meet Ye Xi who got off the carriage.

Boss Ye and his group did not move, waiting for her to come over and talk.

"Uncle, aunt, have you eaten? Come in and have something to eat." After saying that, he greeted everyone else.

"We've already eaten. Today we came to the city to help your eldest brother clean up the yard. They will move in three days. You can bring the children with you to join in the fun."

Ye Xi was happy and agreed repeatedly. She went there early in the morning that day.

She knew that courtyard. She had delivered gifts there when her brothers were studying there.

The two sides chatted for a while at the door, and then Boss Ye was about to go home. It was getting late and it would be dark by the time he got home.

Ye Xi looked at the sky and did not stop them.

Ye Qing got on the ox cart and suddenly remembered something.

"Sister Xi, I have collected a lot of good books recently. When you are free, ask your brother-in-law to pick some."

"Your brother-in-law loves reading the most. Let him know and we can get to the dock tomorrow."

Liu Rui has studied more seriously in the past two years. He wants to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. The Liu family is very satisfied with his efforts.

Ye Dalang and Wei Xin felt sorry for their eldest son, so they took him to and from the private school every day during the few days he was at home.

Ping An, who used to feel a little awkward, is now very happy every day.

On the day they went to Wu'an City, they asked for a day off for Ping'an and took him to stay in Wu'an City for a day.

Ye Dalang and Zhou also stayed in the city for one night. The next morning, they took Ping An to see Ye Dalang off to work and then drove home.

When I got home, Ye Erlang came over with a letter.

"Mom, there's a letter from Wulang."

"What are they talking about? I haven't received their letter for a long time." Zhou asked anxiously.

"It has just been delivered and I haven't had time to open it yet." Ye Erlang raised the letter in his hand.

Several people in the family were in Li's room, waiting for Ye Erlang to open the letter.

When he saw Ye Dalang and others coming in, he invited them to come over and read the letter.

Ye Dalang and Zhou washed their hands and went into the house. Ping An followed them in to listen to the message.

Ye Erlang opened the envelope carefully, worried about damaging the letter inside.

Everyone stared at Ye Erlang's actions, wanting to know what Ye Chenjing said.

Judging from the time, they should have finished the exam, but I don’t know how their results are.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing urged Ye Erlang.

Ye Erlang unfolded the letter and read it quickly.

"Wulang wrote to say he was doing fine and asked his family not to worry about him. He also asked about his grandparents, parents, and other family members."

"Okay, okay, we are all fine." Li answered on the spot.

"Erlang also said that they took part in the imperial examination, but they didn't pass this year. The teacher at the academy said they still need to calm down for a while."

Everyone was feeling a little depressed, but they were also mentally prepared. When Ye Chenjing left, he said that this time they were just going to give it a try.
