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 508: Let’s really work hard towards the honor of being the Grain King this year!

Soon, the five boys from the Ye family returned from the private school.

When the five brothers found out their sister had returned home, they were extremely happy, until they saw there were guests, then they calmed down one by one.

After attending private school for such a long time, except for Ye Changrui, the other four children have obviously become more polite and stable than before going to school.

Because Hu Zi was younger than Ye Changnian, they consciously began to take care of him like a younger brother.

Ye Changnian even specially found the Western candies that he had brought back last time on a sunny day and distributed to everyone and gave them to Hu Zi to eat.

Boss Ye saw it and said, "Hey, you haven't finished eating the candy yet?"

Ye Changrui said, "I only eat one piece every year. I can't bear to eat the rest, so I hide it for myself."

Seeing this, Zhang Yingqi quickly took out the candy he had bought and called the children over to eat.

What he took out was Western candy specially bought from the Tianjin market, but it was very different from the candy specially for the royal family that Queen Beatrice gave to Qingtian.

Both the exquisiteness and taste are very different.

Hu Zi carefully peeled off the candy wrapper with Western patterns and looked at the candy with patterns on it.

Finally, I couldn't stand the sweet smell of the candy anymore, so I put it in my mouth reluctantly.

After eating the candy, Hu Zi saw Zhang Yingqi distributing candy to others and immediately said, "Dad, the candy that Brother Nian Nian gave me is much more delicious than the ones you bought."

The child spoke his mind without caring how embarrassed his parents were.

Zhang Yingqi's hands paused as he was distributing candy to the children.

Boss Ye quickly explained: "That piece of candy Nian Nian was given to Qingtian by Queen Beatrice.

“It should be their royal candy, but it’s not something we can buy.

"Last time when Qingtian came back, I only gave them two pieces each. I didn't expect Niannian to eat only one piece and even save one piece."

I hide the candies every year because I actually want to eat them on my birthday.

Just now, because he wanted to entertain guests, he took it out and gave it to Hu Zi on impulse. The moment he saw Hu Zi put the candy into his mouth, he still felt a little regretful.

But at this time, the adults praised him one after another, and soon he was confused by the praise.

The regret in his heart had long been thrown out of his mind, and he even wished he could find a few more pieces of Western candy for Hu Zi to eat.

After having lunch at the Ye family, Zhang Yingqi followed Ye Lao Da to see the house that the Ye family was building.

Now the walls of the first two courtyards have been built, and we just have to put up the beams and cover the roof.

At this time, everyone was busy working in the three courtyards at the back.

Zhang Yingqi was a captain of the police in Ninghe County. His family conditions were considered very good and they had already built a brick house.

But when I saw the Ye family's neat row of brick houses, the wide doors and windows, the tall walls, the spacious courtyard, and the stream and hillside behind them, I was so envious that my mouth was watering.

"Brother Ye, the location your family chose is absolutely amazing. The place is spacious, and the house is bright and spacious. It really makes people feel comfortable just looking at it."

“Now our home is small and it is not convenient to entertain guests.

“When the new house is built, you can bring your siblings and children over to play when you have time.

"Oh, and your old man, you can bring him along too!

"After living by the sea for so long, it's quite interesting to spend some time in our mountains."

Looking at the scenery in front of him and the house that was about to be completed, Zhang Yingqi was moved by what Boss Ye said.

But he knew in his heart that the other person was just being polite.

The two families are not relatives, so how could they really come all the way here with their families to stay for a while?

But when Zhang Yingqi turned his head, he saw Qingtian and Huzi standing together and talking.

If the two children can develop into something great in the future, the two families will become relatives.

By then, whether you come here to play for a few days or stay for a short time, wouldn’t it be acceptable?

Zhang Yingqi was lost in thought.

Boss Ye called him several times before he came to his senses and opened his mouth to say, "In-laws..."

"Ah?" Boss Ye was startled by his shout, "What did you say?"

"No, I mean..." Zhang Yingqi looked around and said forcefully, "I mean, our two families are not relatives, but we are better than family."

Fortunately, Boss Ye didn't hear clearly what he said before, so he was finally fooled by him.

"You guys just follow Qingtian and wander around the village first. I'm going to talk to Uncle Dongkui."

After Boss Ye finished speaking, he went to discuss the matter of selecting Liang Ji Ri with Ye Dongkui.

His casual arrangement put Qingtian in a difficult position.

There doesn’t seem to be anything to see in the village!

Qingtian thought for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "I'll take you to see my land!

"My second uncle is very good at farming."

Fortunately, Zhang Yingqi was not picky and took Hu Zi and followed Qingtian all the way to the field.

When they encountered a road that was difficult to walk on, he picked up Qingtian and let his son follow behind him.

Hu Zi is tough and doesn't care about these things.

When Qingtian said that Ye Laoer was good at farming before, Zhang Yingqi didn't take it too seriously.

After all, sometimes you really can't take children's words too seriously.

But when he arrived at the field and walked along the ridge, he clearly saw that the crops in one field were about a palm's height taller than those in other fields.

"Sunny, that couldn't be your land, could it?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, how did you know?" Qingtian nodded repeatedly.

"Because the crops of that family grow the best!" Zhang Yingqi also became interested at this time. He strode over, put Qingtian at the edge of the field, told her and Huzi not to run around, and then he went into the field and looked around.

Ye Qingyuan was working on the other side when he suddenly saw a stranger in Qingtian's field. He quickly asked, "Who are you? Why are you so casually entering someone else's field?"

"I know Brother Ye. Qingtian brought me here." Zhang Yingqi quickly explained, "I just saw that Qingtian's crops were growing so well, so I came in to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyuan glanced towards the edge of the field and saw Qingtian and another little boy playing there.

He was relieved and said, "As long as it's not a stranger, you can look at it as you like."

The more Zhang Yingqi looked, the more surprised he became.

The imperial court would select a grain king or something like that every year, and for local officials, that was a huge political achievement.

Therefore, except in particularly poor areas, local officials attach great importance to this matter.

Zhang Yingqi would accompany the county magistrate to inspect the farmland every year. The county government would even provide certain care and support to some fields with good growth.

The crops of the old Ye family in front of him were growing much better than those he saw in the fields every year when he accompanied the county magistrate.

Even though he didn't know anything about farming, he felt that the Ye family's land might really be able to work towards the title of Grain King this year!
