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...
“I came back to visit because I was worried about home.
"I originally thought that if there was really no one left at home, I would go back there too and never come back.
"I didn't expect that our home is now more lively and prosperous than before. I will go and bring the three of them back home after the spring."
Although it was a lie made up on the spur of the moment, Ye Qingshan's words were reasonable, so no one else doubted him.
"That's right. If there hadn't been a disaster outside the Great Wall, we wouldn't have rashly brought our family back from outside the Great Wall.
"When we first came back, our house and land were occupied. We even lived under a tent in the village for several days!"
When Ye Juan'er heard that Ye Qingshan had a wife and children, she wiped away her tears excitedly again.
Then she suddenly remembered something and said, "If I bring your wife and children back, I'm afraid this yard won't be big enough for them to live in.
"If not, then stay at my house first. I'll clean up the west wing, and the room across the street will be big enough for your family of four."
"Auntie!" Boss Ye smiled immediately upon hearing this. "My family is going to build a new house in the spring. When we build a few more rooms, we can bring Brother Qingshan's children out. Why would we need to live in your house?"
"That's fine." Upon hearing this, Ye Juan'er hurriedly offered advice, "Don't use the backyard when you build your new house. Remember to ask the village chief for a piece of land to build your house."
"Can we still ask for land?" Boss Ye had never thought of this before. If Ye Juan'er hadn't said it, he really planned to build a new house in the backyard.
After all, the backyard is big enough to build seven or eight houses.
"Of course!" Ye Juan'er said quickly, "You will eventually split up, and after that you can go find the village chief.
“Either buy a piece of land or divide it up.
"We can't let your family stay on this piece of land forever, right? What if there's too much room?
"Your backyard is such a big vegetable patch. The vegetables you grow are enough to feed your family for a year. Wouldn't it be a waste to use it to build a house?"
"Auntie, why do some things require money to buy, while others can be directly divided?"
"For the nice places in the village, you have to pay a symbolic amount of money, but if you want to stay in the remote areas around here, you don't have to pay."
"That's great. We'll get a bigger place later, build a house and move there. This old house will be left to Brother Qingshan and his family."
When Ye Qingshan heard this, he was stunned.
