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

Chapter 329 Taking a Position

Wei Xin arrived home first, and Ye Qing had already prepared dinner.

"Qingya, I came back late. I just bought a few chickens and watched them eat before I came back."

Ye Qing waved his hand, "Sister-in-law only has this little bit of work to do, you don't need to help."

Wei Xin washed his hands, took a spatula, and took down a circle of pancakes first.

The pancakes stuck to the pan are baked yellow and smell delicious.

The lower half of the pancake is cooked in the pot together with the vegetables, which makes the pancake more tempting with the aroma of the vegetables.

The mung bean porridge is served cold. It is more comfortable to eat it warm in summer.

Old Man Ye and Boss Ye came back driving the ox cart, and Erbao rushed to help them open the door.

"Master, how are the spices growing? It hasn't rained recently, so it might be a bit dry." Ye Qing helped the two of them fetch water.

Old Man Ye washed the bracelet before he had time to talk to Ye Qing.

"It's a bit dry, and the leaves are a bit curled."

Ye Qing was anxious, "Let someone fetch water to water them, these things cannot tolerate drought."

"No, I met your third uncle on the way, and he said it will rain tomorrow."

Ye Qing looked at the sky. It was cloudless and there was no sign of rain.

Ye Qing had seen how powerful his Third Grandpa was, and although he didn't believe it in his heart, he was willing to wait a little longer.

Old man Ye picked up the mung bean porridge and ate some first.

"This mung bean tastes better than last year's. I'll plant more next year."

This seed was bought at the dock and was brought over by a merchant ship from the north.

Ye Qing saw it when she was waiting for Ye Dalang at the dock. She was a connoisseur of goods, so she bought 100 kilograms.

After dinner, Wei Xin cleaned the kitchen while Ye Qing dried water in the yard to use for bathing the two children in the evening.

After finishing the cleaning and when the sun was at its highest, Ye Qing went back to sleep for a while and would deal with other matters in the afternoon.

Ye Qing was woken up by Li. He slept too much in the afternoon and would not be able to sleep at night.

Ye Qing cleaned up the house, took a washed cucumber, and went to talk to Li. Everyone else in the family went to work.

The two had just said a few words when there was a knock on the door.

Ye Qing got up and opened the door. There were children at home, and the door would be closed when the children were at home.

"My aunt is here, come in quickly." Ye Qing quickly led her into the house.

"Qingya, why is the door closed in broad daylight?"

When Mrs. Li heard Ye Qing calling her aunt, she didn't stand up and just looked over here.

When I saw that it was Boss Wei’s wife, I was a little surprised.

"Da Lang's wife, how come you have time to come here?"

"Aunt is at home. I thought no one was home."

"Hurry and sit down. Qingya, move a stool for your aunt." Mrs. Li was the elder and didn't need to get up.

Ye Qing poured some fruit and took some more.

"Qingya, don't bother. I just came here after dinner and can't eat at all." Zhong held Ye Qing's hand to stop her from working.

"Aunt is in good health and looks stronger than before." Mrs. Zhong said this sincerely. Mrs. Li seemed to be in good spirits during this period.

Mrs. Li was delighted by the compliment. "It's your niece who brought me donkey hide gelatin when she came back from business. I eat one every day and I can sleep a little longer at night."

Mrs. Zhong held Ye Qing's hand and praised, "My eldest niece is a filial daughter. Every time she goes out, everyone in the family gets a gift. My sister has shown off to us several times. I am so jealous that I want to take Qingya home."

Li likes to praise his children and grandchildren the most, and also likes to be praised by others.

Zhong chatted for a while before turning to serious matters.

"Qingya, I came here this time to ask if what Wei Zhao said is true, and whether he can work in the mosquito coil workshop."

"It's true. Don't I know Brother Wei Zhao well? He is a down-to-earth and hard-working person. As long as he is willing to go, he can go tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhong was very happy. She knew that her son didn't like to settle accounts, but the family had no other choice.

Look at the people in the village who followed Ye Qinggan, they have become mature and steady now.

Especially Ye Xuan, who was the first to fight with Ye Qing, had problems with his legs and feet, which is not visible at all now.

Who wouldn’t be envious of him managing such a large winery?

Now he is married and has a son. His son is fair and smart, and his life is getting better.

"When your brother Wei Zhao first told me about this, I didn't believe it. I never thought it would be true. Wei Zhao is following you, so you should talk to him and scold him. Don't show him any mercy."

Ye Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "Aunt, if Brother Wei Zhao knew you said that about him, he would be sad again."

Li also smiled, "I watched Wei Zhao grow up. He helped the family as soon as he could walk. He was also very sweet-mouthed. He was a good child."

Zhong chatted for a while and then took the beans given by Li home.

When passing by Ye Laosan's house, I turned in.

Ye Qing assigned a task to Wei Zhao, so they had to show their appreciation.

Erbao woke up and started to act coquettishly with Mrs. Li at home, wanting to eat more cakes.

Li was so annoyed that she lost her temper and broke off a little bit of food and asked him to sit down and eat.

Ye Qing saw that he only took two bites and ignored him.

Ye Qing took out the jar of pickled vegetables from home, washed them all, and put them in the sun to dry.

There was no way she could finish eating all the vegetables in the garden, so she planned to pick them and make kimchi.

When Ye Qing finished his work, he saw Erbao was going out to play.

"Erbao, come and help your aunt wash the vegetables." Ye Qing saw that it was almost time for dinner and didn't want him to go out to play anymore as he still had to go to listen to stories in the evening.

Erbao looked at the gate, then looked at his aunt, gave up on going out, and came back to help.

"Auntie, I've helped you wash the vegetables, can I have a piece of candy?"

"No, you already ate one piece this morning." Ye Qing rejected him mercilessly.

"But my stomach said I want another piece." Erbao patted his stomach.

"Then tell him that he can eat it tomorrow morning." Ye Qing cooperated with his performance.

Ye Qing took Erbao to pick some vegetables and brought back all the beans grown in the field.

I picked some more hot peppers and soaked them together with the beans.

We eat green beans every day at home, twice a day, and we have to eat them for another month. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.

When Mrs. Li saw the beans Ye Qing brought back, she didn't remind her to save some for dinner because everyone was tired of eating them.

By the time the two jars of beans were soaked, the sun was about to set.

Erbao began to get anxious, "Auntie, listen to the story later."

"Wait for brother to come back, then we'll go after dinner." Ye Qing fried the dishes skillfully.

Ye Qing looked at the people around him. Everyone tacitly had dinner early. It seemed that everyone in the village liked yesterday's story very much.

Li helped Ye Qing to light the fire. Wei Xin came back and fed the chickens and cows in the backyard. They would be able to go out after dinner.

Old Man Ye and Boss Ye came back quickly. They had already reached home while it was still daylight.

The whole family was waiting for Ye Dalang. Old man Ye went to the door twice, but he didn't come back.

"Ping'an, you and Erbao eat first. After you finish eating, go and reserve a seat." Old man Ye urged the two children to serve their meals.

Ye Qing served a little of everything. The two little ones ate quickly. When Ye Dalang came back, they had already taken their mats to reserve seats.
