After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 261 It All Started with Saving Qingtian

When I grow up, I'm afraid that even if I follow behind me, I won't be able to be as close to you as I am now.

Along the way, every time they passed a village, Hu Yuanren would send one of his men in to publicize the heroic deeds of Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si.

Then the gong and drum players came forward and the lion and dragon dances began.

This is the same process every time, so the team moves at almost a snail's pace.

But this is something that has to be done.

The reason why the county magistrate wanted to praise the Ye brothers.

Firstly, it is to give face to the head of the Ye clan. After all, this is a relatively important happy event for the Ye clan.

Secondly, it is to reassure the people and educate the people at the same time, so that everyone knows the glorious deeds of Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si, and can learn from them in the future.

It was not until noon that the convoy finally drove into the city gate of Fengle County and headed straight for the county government office.

The county magistrate and Ye Dongming were already waiting at the gate of the county government office.

As requested, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si got out of the car first, and suddenly there was a deafening sound of firecrackers.

Qingtian covered his ears with his hands, but still stuck his head out of the car window to look in the direction of the firecrackers.

After the long string of firecrackers was over, the county magistrate came up and showered Boss Ye with compliments, praising him so much that he blushed.

"County Magistrate, you are too kind!"

"How is it an exaggeration? Not at all. You all deserve it."

As the county magistrate spoke, someone immediately came forward and draped red silk and big red flowers on Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si, making the two look like grooms going to meet their bride.

The eyes of many young girls and young wives in the crowd were almost glued to Ye Laosi from beginning to end.

After all, although Boss Ye has maintained a good figure, he is old after all, and it is obvious that he is already married.

On the contrary, Ye Laosi looks young, and it is not known whether he is married or not.

If not...

After Ye Laosi was draped in red silk, his thoughts drifted away, and he recalled the time when he married Guo outside the Great Wall.

Others saw him standing there expressionless and with an unfathomable look on his face.

But in fact, people who are familiar with him know that this is simply a sign that he is distracted.

Fortunately, the county magistrate didn't care about him at this time. After praising the two of them, he began to read the article he had prepared long ago in a somewhat ostentatious manner.

The article was naturally written by the master, and it was well written and quite literary.

It was not easy for the county magistrate to read it from beginning to end without making any mistakes.

So when he finished reading, almost no one among the onlookers understood and there was silence. Only a few lawyers clapped excitedly.

You have to know that the county magistrate had practiced it several times before, but none of them went smoothly.

It is really not easy to read it completely and accurately now.

When they clapped their hands, the onlookers realized that the county magistrate had finished speaking, and they all started clapping as well.

There was a sound of applause at the gate of the county government office.

The county magistrate realized that the final highlight had finally arrived.

He cleared his throat, raised his hand and made a downward gesture, saying, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me for one last thing."

The county magistrate's voice was not loud to begin with, and he also had some old health problems that made him weak, so he couldn't suppress it at all.

In the end, it was Hu Yuanren's loud shout that finally calmed the onlookers down.

"In recognition of the bravery of Ye Qingchen and Ye Qingan, the county government has awarded them 20 taels of silver..."

Now, the onlookers all looked envious when they heard this, and no longer needed anyone to lead them, they took pictures even harder.

But what most people are thinking about is how they should spend the money if it were given to themselves.

Mrs. Ye and Qingtian stood not far from Boss Ye, watching him accept the award. Both mother and daughter smiled at the same time. Qingtian clapped her hands so hard that her palms turned red.

"Mom, Daddy is so awesome!"

"yes!"

The mother and daughter watched the county magistrate hand over the reward money to the two brothers, and the commendation meeting at the gate of the county government office came to an end.

Qingtian tugged at Mrs. Ye's skirt, signaling her to lower herself.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Ye bent down and asked.

"Mom, when can we eat? I'm hungry." Qingtian asked Mrs. Ye in a very low voice, as if he was worried that speaking loudly would bring discredit upon Boss Ye.

"Are you hungry?" Mrs. Ye didn't know what the plan for today was, so she had already wrapped a few snacks in oil paper and brought them with her. They came in handy now.

Boss Ye saw his wife feeding Qingtian a snack from upstairs, so he quickly came down and said, "Just eat one to fill your stomach. We'll have dinner soon."

"Where are we having lunch?" Mrs. Ye asked in a low voice.

"Lunch is arranged by the county magistrate, and we will have dinner with the clan members in the evening."

Sure enough, not long after, someone came to greet the people from the Ye family and went to the restaurant together.

Today, the county magistrate not only invited the Ye family, but also many celebrities and gentry in the city to join him.

So when Mrs. Ye walked in holding Qingtian, she saw Mr. Jiang.

Seeing an acquaintance relieved Mrs. Ye's nervous mood a lot. Fortunately, someone came quickly and took the women and children of the Ye family to the private room on the second floor.

After confirming that only her family members were in the private room, Third Sister Ye couldn't help but stretch herself and said, "Oh my goodness, the county magistrate was talking upstairs just now. I couldn't understand and didn't dare to move. I'm so tired."

Mrs. Ye quickly pulled her back and said, "Keep your voice down! The walls may be listening."
