But at Ye Laosi's current age, if he were to go out as an apprentice, he would probably be 25 or 26 years old by the time he finishes his apprenticeship. Not only would it delay his marriage, but the apprentice would also earn little in these years.
Everyone gained a lot of knowledge after entering the customs. It seems that letting Ye Laosi stay in the village and farm for the rest of his life is not a good way out.
Now that Ye Qingshan has taken the initiative to propose this idea, how can Boss Ye not be happy!
"I'll go call the fourth brother back right now." Boss Ye said excitedly.
"Brother, I'm not leaving today, don't worry. Let's sit down and discuss the matter of the fourth child after dinner tonight."
"Yes, you are very thoughtful."
The two of them chatted for a long time, forgetting their business. Until Ye Lao San came over and urged, "Brother Qingshan, haven't you finished writing yet? The clan leader has been waiting for a long time."
Ye Qingshan then remembered that he came here to write something, and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, it will be ready soon."
He hurriedly wrote a few lines on the paper and handed it to Ye Dongming.
Ye Dongming took it and read it carefully first.
Although Ye Qingshan's handwriting is average, it is not sloppy and is clearly written.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure everything is clear for you when I get back."
After Ye Dongming confirmed that there was no problem, he folded the paper and put it in his arms, then rubbed his hands and said, "There is one more thing.
"Now that you are back, the emperor has appointed you as the Great General of the Nation.
"For something like this to bring honor to our family, our clan should choose an auspicious day, open the ancestral hall, and report to our ancestors. What do you think?"
Ye Dongming was really nervous when he said this, fearing that Ye Qingshan would disagree.
After all, the clan now wants to use his influence to save face.
Fortunately, Ye Qingshan was easy to talk to. He nodded and said, "That's right. When the clan leader picks a date, let me know. I'll come back with my wife and children."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and ask the elders to choose a date."
Ye Dongming stood up and said, "It's getting late. I won't bother you any more. I'll go back first."
As he walked out, he happened to meet Mrs. Ye who had just come out of the kitchen.
"Chief, are you leaving now? Why are you in such a hurry? Eat first!"
Ye Dongming was just about to ask whether it was lunch or dinner at this time.
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly remembered that Boss Ye seemed to have said before that when they came back from the capital, they took a detour to the county town to look for him, but ended up finding him empty-handed.
The whole family hasn’t even had lunch yet!
"Eat quickly! Don't starve! I ate at the village chief's house at noon, so I'm not hungry yet. I have to go back quickly. I have a lot of things to do!"
After seeing off the clan leader, Mrs. Ye quickly prepared the meal and served it on the table, only to find that the children were not there.
"Let the fourth brother take him out to play. I'll go look for him." Ye Laoer said, put on a cotton coat and went out.
Just after walking a short distance, before finding Ye Laosi and the children, I saw Ye Dongkui and his family pushing a cart out.
The car was blocked with boards on all sides, so you couldn't see what was inside.
But it looked quite heavy, with the whole family pulling and pushing it from the front.
"Uncle Dongkui, I'll help you."
Ye Laoer stepped forward to help, but as soon as he got close, he smelled a familiar smell.
Ye Dongkui also hurriedly stopped him: "Don't come over here, don't get your clothes dirty."
Only then did Ye Laoer realize that Ye Dongkui's family were all wearing old clothes full of patches, and it was obvious that they were reluctant to wear new clothes to do this kind of work.
"Uncle Dongkui, are you starting to push manure into the fields so early?" asked Ye Laoer.
"What's so early? It's the beginning of spring in two days, and it's time to plow the soil." Ye Dongkui just remembered and said with a smile, "Boy, you are still remembering the solar terms outside the Great Wall, right? It's much warmer here than outside the Great Wall!"
"That's right!" Ye Lao Er slapped his forehead upon hearing this, "Then my family has to hurry up too."
"Is the fertilizer piled up at home enough? If not, I'll give you a truckload!" Ye Dongkui asked worriedly.
You know, as the saying goes, a good harvest depends on good manure.
The harvest this year depends not only on whether God is in a good mood, but also on whether there is enough fertilizer.
The Ye family had just returned from outside the Great Wall in the second half of last year, and Ye Dongkui was worried that their family did not have enough fertilizer stored.
"Uncle Dongkui, don't worry, I've been prepared for this."
When it comes to composting, Ye Laoer has never slacked off.
In order to allow the fertilizer to ferment evenly to avoid burning the roots during spring plowing.
Relying on the large backyard of his home, Ye Laoer turned the fertilizer pile over several times throughout the winter.
Just waiting for spring to put them to use.
After seeing off Ye Dongkui and his family, Ye Laoer hurried to find Ye Laosi and the children.
After walking around for a long time, we finally found them at the foot of the mountain. There seemed to be other children from the village next to them, and I didn't know what they were playing.
Ye Lao Er shouted from a distance: "Why did you come all the way here to play? Aren't you hungry? Go home and eat!"
Ye Lao Si quickly said to his children, "Did you hear that? It's time to go home and eat."
Qingtian pointed at the kids across from him and said aggrievedly, "But they haven't apologized yet!"
The five brothers looked at Ye Lao Si with contempt.
"Fourth Uncle is always trying to smooth things over!"
"That's right, Fourth Uncle, you don't even help Qingtian!"
Ye Changxue and Ye Changzhao reached out to stop the two children who wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
