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

You have to pump out the yellow water in the well and dig a little deeper to complete the work of digging the well.

Bucket after bucket of yellow water was brought out, and Boss Ye carried it out from the back door and poured it into the vegetable field.

After carrying three or four buckets of water, there was no more water at the bottom of the well. Ye Dalang struck while the iron was hot and dug another half a meter before stopping.

The two men climbed out of the well, washed the mud off their bodies, changed into clean clothes and then sat down to eat.

The well has been dug. We will wait for the water to gush out tomorrow and taste it. If it is a sweet water well, we can use it. If it is a bitter water well, we will have to find a place to dig a new one.

Ye Qing was a little excited. He didn't sleep well the whole night, so he got up at dawn in the morning.

Old Man Ye was also very excited and got up when he heard the noise in the yard.

"Grandpa, there is a lot of water in the well, and the upper layer is clear water."

Old man Ye leaned over to take a look, then picked up the bucket next to him and filled it with half a bucket of water.

Ye Qing couldn't wait to take a sip, put it to his mouth, and took a sip. His eyes narrowed immediately. Although it had a bit of earthy smell, he could still taste that it was sweet.

Old Man Ye looked at Ye Qing, anxiously waiting for an answer.

"Grandpa is sweet."

Old Man Ye also had a smile on his face, thinking that all his hard work these days had finally paid off.

When the other people in the family heard Ye Qing's words, they came over excitedly and also took some water to taste it. It was indeed delicious.

Ye Chenjing was even more excited. He went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon. He did not see the process of digging the well. Now he could taste the first wave of water and was very happy.

After tasting the water, a few people returned to their seats and started frying lobsters.

After seeing Ye Chenjing and Boss Ye off, people who came to help also arrived.

When Ye Mu heard that it was a sweet water well, he clapped his hands in joy. This was the first well he dug after fleeing famine. If its reputation spread, he would have a lot of work to do.

When several people went down to the well, the water was already up to their knees. Just like yesterday, they cleared out the water first.

This step is to clean the well. After washing the well water several times, it will become clear and will no longer be turbid.

After clearing the water, Ye Mu directed everyone to build the well wall. After it was built, the well was washed several times and it was ready for use.

At noon, Ye Erlang followed Ye Laoda's car back home. He didn't know that his family had dug a well. He walked around the well several times before he was satisfied.

Ye Erlang only has one day off every half a month, and his family members are reluctant to let him help in the well.

Ye Erlang felt embarrassed to sit there and do nothing, so he went to the kitchen to help Zhou steam buns.

For the past half month, I have only learned how to knead dough and steam buns, so that my family can taste my cooking skills.

Ye Qing watched his second brother kneading the dough skillfully, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Although my second brother kept praising Master Zheng as a good person, his movements could not lie. He became so skilled in just half a month. He must have done a lot of work.

Ye Qing went to the backyard, caught two fat rabbits, and asked Boss Ye to help kill and clean them.

"Brother, you've lost weight. Aren't you full at the store? I'll give you some food today."

"Qingya, I'm not getting thinner, I'm getting stronger. How is it possible that I can't get full in a restaurant?" Ye Erlang didn't stop working while he was concerned about things at home.

Ye Qing told his second brother everything about the family, gesturing with his hands when he talked about the happy parts.

There were many people working at home, so they stopped after steaming two pots of steamed buns.

Ye Qing picked up a steaming steamed bun, took a bite, and the aroma of wheat bloomed on the tip of his tongue. It was so fragrant that Ye Qing couldn't stop eating.

Seeing his sister eating it with relish, Ye Erlang took one and broke it open. After breaking it open, he could see the difference of the steamed buns. There were layers of buns inside, and they looked very soft.

Zhou took a bite and praised her son highly, and it was obvious that he had not been lazy in the past half month.

Master Zheng is a man of real talent and he teaches his son sincerely.

"Erlang, bring some hens to Master Zheng when you leave. They are freshly fed at home."

"Mom, it's not necessary. My master runs a food store, so we have no shortage of meat at home." Ye Erlang felt sorry for the chickens and ducks raised at home.

"What belongs to Master Zheng is his own. What you give is a token of your heart. This is different." Zhou still wanted to thank Master Zheng.

Ye Erlang didn't say anything else and helped carry the steamed buns to the main room.

Everyone who was eating tasted the steamed buns and immediately noticed the difference. Today's steamed buns tasted better.

The uncle patted Ye Erlang on the shoulder and praised him: "Erlang, study hard. This steamed bun is the most delicious I have ever eaten."

Boss Ye looked very proud. His child did well and he also had face.

"Don't worry, uncle. I will study hard. When I learn how to steam buns, you can come and try them."

"Good nephew, I will definitely come." The uncle looked very happy.

Ye Qing felt sorry for his brother, so he cooked a lot of rabbit and reserved a bowl for his second brother as an extra meal in the evening.

Zhou packed the thick clothes she had made for her son into her bag and took out a new thin quilt, as it was a bit cold at night.

Ye Qing did not pack any food. His second brother worked in a food store, and it would be difficult to explain if he took the food, which might make people think he had ulterior motives.

Ye Erlang followed Ye Lao Da's ox cart back. Zhou was a little reluctant to let him go and secretly wiped away a few tears.

Ye Qing surrounded Zhou, tried to make her happy, and comforted her that if she missed her second brother she could go to the city and live for a day or two.

Zhou's reluctance did not last long. She became busy again. There were many people eating at home, so she had to grind the flour again.

Ye Qing was a small child who loved to watch the fun, so he boiled some hot water and brought it to his uncles and aunts who were working.

When I had free time, I would stand around the well and watch the progress of the work. The well wall was being built very quickly and it was almost finished in two days.

The well water was cleared twice, but it was still a little turbid. There was no need to rush. Boss Ye could take his son to clear it a few more times.

Finally, they had a banquet to celebrate the successful digging of the well. In addition, they also rewarded the well digger. Boss Ye prepared ten taels of silver, which was the price Ye Mu had received before.

"Brother, I only need half. There's no need to charge so much when working at home." Ye Mu deliberately charged less. When he went out to work in the past, Ye Lao Da often visited his parents at home.

The rest of the people didn't even ask for money. They were all family members and all they cared about was helping each other. If anything happened in the future, they wouldn't pay.

Ye Qing likes this kind of atmosphere very much. In the future society, there will be less interactions between neighbors, and many of them don’t even know each other.

Now that the well has been dug, the family has time to do other things, so Boss Ye goes to take a look at some of the fields first.

Ye Qing also had time to separate the pregnant rabbits into cages, and Ye Dalang also took over the job of catching lobsters in Ji Village.

Ye Dalang fed the oxen and loaded them onto the cart. Ye Qing also finished his work, and the two of them got on the ox cart and leisurely went to Ji Village, swinging their whips.

"Grandpa Village Head, I'm the one who's going to catch lobsters today. My father is busy with other things." Ye Dalang greeted with a smile.

Ye Qing also greeted him, but when he looked around, he didn't see the lobsters in Xu Lizheng's house.

Xu Lizheng was a little confused: "Dalang, did you come to the wrong place? Xu Da said this morning that the lobsters will be collected from his house from now on."
