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

Chapter 339 Zhou returns

Although she is used to hearing it, she is still happy every time she hears it. This proves that everyone can see the efforts made by her and Dalang.

"Aunt, I feel embarrassed by your praise. Sanlang's wife's embroidery is one of the best in Wu'an City."

"Her embroidery is good, but she is not as skilled as you are outside the home. She is still young, so let her learn more from you." Shen felt that her daughter-in-law was raised to be a little naive and needed to be taught more.

After eating the grapes, they washed their hands and continued to chop the stuffing.

Wei went to the kitchen to busy herself, took a few eggs and mixed them into egg crumbs.

Wei Xin started to knead the dough. Since there were many people today, he had to knead two bowls of dough.

When two people chop the meat, it's faster. When they finish chopping the meat, Wei Xin also kneads the dough.

Wei brought in the meat filling and fried it with oil so that it would cook quickly when the dumplings were cooked later.

After all the fillings were ready, Shen called Li to come over and add the seasonings.

Every time we make dumplings at home, we ask Li to make the fillings. Even with the same ingredients, hers tastes better than others.

By the time the filling was ready, it was already late. Ye Qing took the dough board to the yard, where they made dumplings.

There is wind in the yard, and it is cooler than inside the house.

Ye Qing rolled the dough by herself while the four of them made dumplings.

Ye Qing has now mastered it and can roll several at a time.

Making dumplings is lively when there are many people around, and people can talk about the latest gossip in the village, so the work is not tiring.

After all the bean fillings were wrapped, Li went to prepare the leek filling. Leeks release water easily, so there was still time to prepare it while wrapping.

Ye Qing had just rolled out a few dumpling skins when he heard the sound of an ox cart outside.

"Is it my mother and the others who are back?" Ye Qing washed his hands and went to open the door.

The others didn't move and continued making dumplings.

Ye Qing opened the door and looked at the ox cart gradually approaching. It was really Zhou and his family.

"Mom, second brother, second sister-in-law, you are back." After saying that, he lifted the door threshold to make it easier for them to come in.

When Wei Xin and the others heard Ye Qing's words, they stood up and came out to greet him.

I saw two ox carts loaded with things, as if they had moved their entire home back home.

"Sister-in-law is back."

Zhou had just helped her daughter-in-law out of the car when she heard the voices of Shen and Wei.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law is back. There are some pastries that Erlang brought for you in the car. You can try them later." Zhou was carrying a bundle and walking home.

Shen and the others also came to help, each carrying a bag and heading home.

Zheng Qin greeted them and just watched from the side, but no one let her take action.

"Grandma, we're back. You guys were making dumplings. We're in for a treat." Zheng Qin washed her hands by the well and came over to help.

"Erlang's wife, are you tired from the journey? Go lie down inside. The beds have been made for you." Li didn't let her do it.

"Grandma, I'm not tired. I walk slowly on the road and making dumplings is not tiring. I'm used to doing it at home." Zheng Qin felt embarrassed and just sat aside and watched.

Zhou helped move things to where Erlang and his family lived, and came over to help make dumplings.

"Why did you think of making dumplings on such a hot day? It's a troublesome job." Zhou picked up the rolling pin and rolled a few dumplings first.

Ye Qing went to help carry the luggage and talked to Ye Erlang at the same time. Her second brother had not been back for a long time and she missed him and his wife a little.

"Dalang's wife has been thinking about your return, so she got up early in the morning to buy meat and make dumplings. She has been busy all morning." Li praised Wei Xin.

"Mom, I just thought that I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. It just so happens that everyone in the family is here today, so let's have a meal together."

Zhou was happy to hear this. She had been missing her home since she was in the city. Seeing the house clean and tidy, she became even more satisfied with Wei Xin.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. We are sorry to have caused you trouble by coming back." Zheng Qin felt a little embarrassed.

"This is not a problem, sister-in-law. I am so happy that you are back. It's just making dumplings, it's nothing."

Li and Zhou were very pleased that the two got along well.

After Ye Erlang put away the things, he came over to help. He dealt with noodles frequently and could tell the difference as soon as he made a move.

The dumplings made by Ye Erlang are big and plump, and they are neatly arranged. They look very beautiful.

Ye Erlang knows how to make dumplings in many different ways, but Ye Qing and his friends can only make ingot-shaped dumplings.

When the food was almost done, Zhou went to boil some water. It was almost noon and everyone was hungry.

Put the beans in first, cook all the beans, then cook the leek dumplings.

"Erlang, go call your second uncle. I'll cook two more dishes and you can eat together." Zhou looked at the dumplings she made today. They were more than enough for the whole family.

Shen stopped Ye Erlang and said, "Erlang, you don't have to call your uncle. I'll go back and eat. The food at home is ready."

"Second Aunt, we're having dinner at home today. It's just you and Second Uncle at home, so it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks."

Ye Erlang looked at Wei, "Aunt, is Uncle San at home today?"

"Not at home. I went to the dock early in the morning."

"Aunt San, you can eat dumplings at home. We made a lot today, so it will be more lively with more people."

Shen and Wei agreed, and the three families often had meals together, and none of them were the kind of people who cared about things.

Uncle Ye came very quickly, and as soon as he sat down, the first pot of dumplings was served.

Wei Xin was helping to cook in the kitchen. The vegetables were washed and soon four dishes were served on the table.

Old Man Ye came back from the fields, changed his clothes, sat in the house, and prepared to eat.

"Second brother, is Qingya's screen ready?" Old man Ye was still thinking about this.

"It's almost done. More than half of it is done. It should be ready tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Ye Laoer worked alone and his speed was slow.

Ye Erlang put down the dumplings brought from the kitchen and said, "Qingya, why do you want a screen again? I helped deliver it to Linglong Pavilion some time ago. Now you want to open a shop again."

"No, it was Linglong Pavilion that wanted it. It turned out those guys had smashed it." Uncle Ye recounted what happened a few days ago.

Zhou and Ye Erlang didn't know about it in the city, but when they heard about it, they were so angry that they went to the dock and cursed the group of people.

Ye Erlang's face looked very ugly. They were in the city and his sister was bullied, but he was unable to help her vent her anger.

Boss Ye saw Ye Erlang's expression and said, "Okay, don't be like that. The matter has been resolved and the family has not suffered any loss."

Zhou took her daughter to have a closer look. Not seeing any injuries, her heartbeat slowly calmed down.

During the following meal time, Ye Erlang was asked about what happened.

Shen and Wei knew about this, but they only knew the general idea. After listening to Ye Qing's detailed account this time, they realized how hateful that group of people were.

Now that they were at home and there were no outsiders around, Boss Ye told them their plan in detail.

It turned out that in the afternoon of that day, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao San took tools, dived to the bottom of the water, and chiseled a piece under the boat.

But at the dock at that time, they did not drill a hole through it, so that no one would suspect Linglong Pavilion.

When the ship left that day, they had someone follow behind and wait until they were some distance away from the dock before starting their action.
