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

"We are from Ji Village. My last name is Wei, and my given name is Jia. This is my sister. Thank you for your help." Wei Jia came out to thank him, and Wei Xin nodded in thanks.

"My name is Ye Chenchuan, you can call me Brother Chuan. Put the basket on my car and I will take it back to you. I just happened to be passing by." Ye Dalang wanted to help others to the end.

Wei Jia had fallen four or five times along the way, and his clothes were covered in mud.

He was more worried about his sister, whose basket was also very heavy and she had to take care of herself, so he didn't hesitate to put his sister's basket on the ox cart.

"You two come up too, we still have some way to go." Ye Dalang called out.

"Brother Chuan, we won't ride. We are too dirty and will dirty your car." Wei Jia said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just put some straw on it and wash it when you get home and use it again." Ye Dalang said nonchalantly.

The two of them stopped refusing and took out some grass, put it on the car, and sat on it.

"Wei Jia, why are you cutting so much grass? This grass is not edible." Ye Dalang asked curiously.

"Brother Chuan, we are using this to feed the rabbits. Rabbits like to eat this grass."

"When you take it back, don't feed it immediately. Let the water dry before feeding it. Rabbits will have diarrhea if they eat grass with water in it." Ye Dalang reminded that if the rabbits are fed well, they can also return their rabbits to their own home earlier.

"So that's what's happening. The rabbits raised by several families in our village are not very active. I'll talk to them about it when I get back." Wei Jia finally understood the reason.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back." Ye Dalang asked the brother and sister while looking at the rows of shacks.

"Brother Chuan, go straight ahead. It's the first one in the second row along the river."

Ye Dalang whipped the ox cart and it started to move slowly.

"Grandpa, we're back. Brother Chuan sent us back." Wei Jia saw his grandfather repairing the shack from afar.

Grandpa Wei stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at the two children.

"Xin, how did you get here by car? Thank you, young man, for bringing my two grandsons back." Grandpa Wei looked at his granddaughter with some concern.

"Grandpa, the road was too slippery. We happened to meet Brother Chuan, who sent us back." Wei Jia explained everything in just two or three sentences.

"Wei Xiu, quickly pour this young man some water." Grandpa Wei called his grandson.

"Grandpa Wei, I'm not thirsty. My home is in a mountain village, not far away. I came to find the head of the village." Ye Dalang quickly refused.

"What a good boy! I wouldn't let you sit in there. It's leaking inside when it rains, and it hasn't been fixed yet. There are old and young people at home, and we can't handle it." Grandpa Wei was a little worried.

"Let me help you take a look. There's nothing wrong now. My family has encountered the same thing. When we first came here, we also built a shack." Ye Dalang deftly lifted the grass on the shack and began to check.

The rain leaks in because the grass on the shack is not dense enough. This is easy to fix. Just tie it up tightly with some green grass and put it on top, and then be fine.

Ye Dalang stood on the shack, while Wei Jia and Old Man Wei passed grass to him from below. After a while, a thick layer of grass covered the shack.

"Grandpa Wei, do you have oilcloth at home? Put it on the grass and then put another layer of grass on the oilcloth so that it won't leak." Ye Dalang gave the instructions very experiencedly.

"Yes, yes, yes. The cloth used to cover the grain is still there. I'll get it now." Grandpa Wei went to the box to look for the oilcloth.

Oilcloth is cotton cloth brushed with tung oil to prevent it from leaking. Umbrellas are also made of this oilcloth.

Ye Dalang took the oilcloth handed over by Old Man Wei, folded it into two layers, and carefully spread it on the roof.

After laying two more layers of grass densely, Ye Dalang finally jumped down from the roof.

"Thank you, young man. We don't have to be afraid of the heavy rain this time." Old man Wei took Ye Dalang's hand and sat on the chair.

Wei Xin poured the freshly boiled water and brought it over, "Brother Chuan, drink some water, Grandpa, drink some water." After bringing the water, he quickly went to help grandma cook.

Ye Dalang chatted for a while and helped to look after the rabbits. The four little rabbits were well taken care of and had grown a lot before he got up and went to Xu Lizheng's house.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I'm here to get the lobsters. It rained so hard yesterday that I couldn't come."

"Da Lang is here. It rained heavily yesterday and the villagers didn't go catching lobsters. Only some were delivered today. Do you think it's enough?" Xu Lizheng felt a little nervous.

"That's enough, there's still some left at home. I'll take it away. You don't have to send it back. Go back quickly." Ye Dalang drove the ox cart back.

"Brother, why did you come back just now? Why did you take so long this time?" Ye Qing was worried that something might have happened to Ye Dalang.

"Qingya, I was helping people build a shack. They had children and the elderly. It started leaking when it rained, so I lent a hand." Ye Dalang explained.

"It's the same as when we first got here. It's okay, everything will be fine." Ye Qing acted like a little adult, making Ye Dalang laugh.

Ye Qing first changed the water for the lobsters, and then helped Zhou to cook. Usually, Li, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, cooked at home. Today, Li went to the vegetable garden to plant vegetables, so Ye Qing went to help.

Dinner was still lively. Ye Chenjing told his family about interesting things in the private school, and Ye Erlang also shared with everyone that a duck had laid double-yolked eggs. They were all happy things.

It was a dreamless night. After delivering the lobster, Boss Ye went to pick up Doctor Lin. The two of them took some cakes and went to Qingyunzhai.

The waiter took the two men into the inner room, and the shopkeeper also came in.

"Boss, I'm not here to sell rabbits today. I'm here to ask you for a favor." Boss Ye said straight to the point.

"Brother Ye, if you have any problem, I will definitely help if I can." The shopkeeper didn't say anything definite.

"Actually, it's about Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin works in the largest clinic in Wu'an City. He fled here with me. I want to ask you brothers to help me find my son."

Doctor Lin pleaded, "Boss, I've lost my family, and I'd like to trouble you to help me find out where they are. You've been to many places, and you can pay any amount."

When the shopkeeper heard that it was a doctor, he showed some respect. When he heard about this matter, he relaxed. Knowing one more doctor was also more convenient.

"Doctor Lin, don't worry. Tell us about your family situation and we'll be careful on the road. Forget about the money." The shopkeeper said politely.

"Boss, you can't say that. I'm sorry, brothers. You still have to pay me for my hard work." Doctor Lin didn't want their help in vain.

"Doctor Lin, you are too polite. I will accept it for my brothers. I will give you five taels of silver to help you find out. If you find it, I will give you another five taels of silver."

"Thank you, boss. I will give you five taels of silver now. If you meet them on the road, please help bring them here if it is convenient. I will pay for it." Doctor Lin was worried that his family had no money.

"Okay, okay. Doctor Lin, please tell us the appearance and names of your family members." The shopkeeper asked more carefully.

Doctor Lin mentioned the names and characteristics of all his family members, and also talked about his own situation, so that both sides could verify the information.
